Chapter 87: Tu Yu
The copper coin landed, reversing life and death, but it was not Ji Bochang's old body that came back to life, but the God of Wealth who possessed this corpse.
The pitch-black figure flashed and disappeared. In a pavilion on the shore of Yunmengze, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe opened his eyes.
"Spend money to buy life? Is this the rule of the God of Wealth?" He had just used Master Yeyao's rule to behead the God of Wealth's shadow, and saw with his own eyes a copper coin that was square on the outside and round on the inside roll out of the cloth bag in the God of Wealth's hand and fall into the water.
Then the God of Wealth came back to life, the old body was still headless, and floated leisurely toward Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe on the shore like a ghost.
"Spend money to buy life? Since this is the case, why did Ji Bochang die? Why didn't he spend money to buy life from the God of Wealth? Is it because he has no money?"
No... he had money. The God of Wealth just spent 1 copper coin to buy life for himself, and Ji Bochang left 5 copper coins for each of his children. Theoretically, he could afford at least 10 lives.
But he still died, and the God of Wealth's rule was macroscopically unfolded, evolving into a mobile Strange World event starting with his corpse.
"The rules are fair. Even the God of Wealth, who can spend money to buy life and reverse life and death, should have loopholes. Ji Bochang died like this." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe quickly understood the key to the problem: "Similarly, Ji Bochang's cause of death can also be the God of Wealth's cause of death."
Thinking of this, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was about to set off to find Shi Yurou and Ji Yunying, but as soon as this thought arose, he hesitated.
Ji Bochang made a will before he died, asking his children to invite Ascenders according to the list to send him off. It seems it was to let insiders help resolve the Strange World event after his death.
That is to say, right here, right now, at this very moment... perhaps on that cruise ship full of college students just now, maybe there was already an Ascender hiding in the dark, silently observing the God of Wealth's movements.
Compared to ghosts that follow the rules, people who control ghosts are the most terrifying.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe hesitated for a moment. On the lake in the distance, the headless old man's figure was closer, and the God of Wealth seemed to be looking for him.
Before Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe turned into a bird and fled again, Yu Zi Qian's mobile phone rang. There was only one person who knew this encrypted number: Tu Yu.
"Someone paid me to blockade Yunmengze, starting at 8 o'clock, for 4 hours."
Tu Yu said straight to the point:
"I know you should have also been invited to attend Wealth Wu Tong's funeral. If you want to get out, it's still time. If you plan to gamble on the upcoming Strange World event, that's another matter, but if you don't have this confidence and want to protect yourself... leave the Yunmengze water system before 8 o'clock."
After speaking, Tu Yu hung up the phone without hesitation, without saying an extra word. He should be busy notifying other Ascenders within the scope of Yun Ducheng now.
"That's right... Tu Yu is also an old senior in this circle. Even a 'little person' like Yu Zi Qian was invited, he has no reason not to be invited."
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put down his phone and looked at the time: 07:11 in the early morning, still a while before 8 o'clock.
The Tourism Administration of Yun Ducheng has begun to evacuate the masses. Yunmengze, Chuyun Mountain, and surrounding scenic spots have been closed urgently. A large number of people who didn't know the situation were sent to the city to take refuge, especially the cruise ship that had met the God of Wealth before was focused on.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe narrowed his eyes, looking at the headless corpse floating on the vast lake, and muttered to himself: "Wealth Wu Tong...?"
Is the God of Wealth's name—"Wealth Wu Tong"?
Now he understood why Ji Bochang left a will before he died, asking his children to invite Ascenders to send him off. Every Ascender is a rogue who doesn't get up early for nothing, and Ji Bochang has the confidence to send an invitation, which shows that he possesses things that other Ascenders covet.
There are not many things that can move Ascenders, and life happens to be the one with the heaviest weight. And the rule of the God of Wealth 【Wealth Wu Tong】, which can reverse life and death, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe believes that no one will not be moved. So will Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe be moved?
The answer is no.
"Since the God of Wealth Wealth Wu Tong is already being dealt with by someone, then I'd better withdraw as soon as possible." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe knew clearly what he wanted.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe has no interest in cracking or controlling the out-of-control God of Wealth Wealth Wu Tong, and is not interested in this rule of spending money to buy life, because this rule does not match him.
The number of ghosts controlled by an Ascender is not the more the better. For example, Te Rang's instant death rule is a life-saving straw for Yu Zi Qian, but for "Fen Wu", it is just a commodity that can be bought and sold.
The adaptability of rules is far, far, far more important than the number of rules or even the strength of the rules themselves. Blindly occupying other rules that do not match one's own core rules like swallowing dates whole will only increase more fatal weaknesses for oneself while gaining powerful power.
And for Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, the self-cognition disorder caused by Tai Yi is his only and most core problem at present.
Is the God of Wealth's rule powerful? Powerful.
Can the God of Wealth's rule solve Tai Yi's hidden dangers? No.
So Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe has no interest and no motivation to resolve this out-of-control Strange World event. Since other Ascenders are present, he will not stand out.
=9+Shu_ba
What Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe needs to do now is to contact as many Ascenders as possible, especially those who have had contact with Yu Zi Qian. He needs to obtain a more complete identity of "Master Yeyao" and obtain information related to "God"... if such information really exists.
The 【God who cannot be looked at directly】, who possesses the rule of thought steel seal, is the only way for Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe to survive.
After understanding this, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's action goal had no other.
It is 07:12 in the early morning. 48 minutes before Tu Yu starts to blockade Yunmengze, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's figure turned into a peregrine falcon, flew across the cool river bank, and returned to the manor in Chuyun Mountain.
"It may be difficult to find hidden Ascenders elsewhere. But contact with Shi Yurou and Ji Yunying at this point in time, there is undoubtedly a high probability that they are Ascenders."
Facts proved that Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's judgment had no mistakes. He flapped his wings and flew above Chuyun Shanzhuang, and indeed encountered a refined young man wearing a Zhongshan suit and gold-rimmed glasses, who was asking Ji Yunying on the second-floor balcony about something.
"... Lan Shiwen?"
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe shed his feathers in the ornamental forest on the side of the manor, turned into a human body again, entered Chuyun Shanzhuang through the main gate, and went straight to the second floor without any avoidance.
At the same time, the light thin clouds in the sky were silently dyed with a wisp of crimson twilight, like the beautiful evening glow dyed by the sunset when the sun went down. The forest around became complicated, losing the neatness and exquisiteness of artificial management. Many bushes and ferns grew out between the unkempt paper mulberry trees.
Tu Yu has begun to pull Yunmengze to another world. This process will last for a period of time until the blockade is completed at 8 o'clock in the morning.
