0484_ deliberately embarrassing

Zhuo Tao thought for a while: "One time, not long after I died, at that time because I was relatively weak, I couldn't follow Feng Qiang all the time. One day when he came back from the outside, he took out the incense, lit it, and bowed. , but he didn’t make a wish, and he didn’t say anything. After half of the incense was burned, he probably thought it was unreliable, so he pinched off the incense, and threw the remaining half on the cabinet, and then I picked it up as a collection gone."

Staff: "If you have a way to know where the incense comes from, we can accept this task. We will get paid from the task itself, and you don't need to pay for anything else."

Zhuo Tao is vigilant: "Will the reward of the task itself harm Qiang Qiang?"

Staff member: "He's decayed like this, what else can he hurt? If you don't want to hurt him, you should stay away from him first. We profit from the person who cursed him, as you wish , Those who harm Feng Qiang will get retribution."

So the final task is like this: the client Zhuo Tao needs to help find the person who cast the curse, and then Yunxiazong will help Feng Qiang get rid of bad luck, and double the bad luck will be fed back to the person who cast the curse.

The staff reminded Zhuo Tao: "The half of the incense must have come from the hand of the person who cast the curse. It may have been given to Feng Qiang directly by him, or it may have been given to Feng Qiang with the help of others. You can start your search from this aspect. .”

It may be that the staff thinks that Zhuo Tao is a bit annoying, so the work of finding the mastermind behind the scenes is directly included in the entrustment terms for Zhuo Tao to handle. Discuss with the client during the process, instead of writing it out in black and white.

After all, the tasks entrusted by the client are all closely related to or very concerned about by the client. Except for a few oddities, the client is more motivated to help the client in the task than the tasker, and will not refuse at all.

Zhang Mi said: "Who made this ghost dare to sue the Second Young Master for black crimes? If he doesn't make trouble for one thing, it will be strange. Don't worry, Second Young Master, I will try my best to save him."

The salvation of ghosts is not equal to death, but rather the return of ghosts to the state where they just lost their bodies, and the soul turns into the soul factor and dissipates naturally, the kind of dissipation that can reincarnate.This requires the ghost to let go of its obsession. If it is a ghost with a cultivation base, it needs to give up its cultivation base.

very difficult.There is quite a lot of research on the Gate of Rebirth in this area, and there are many successful examples, but even they are better off facing ghosts who have not started to practice, and they can only say that the chance of success is higher than others when facing ghosts who have cultivated That's all.As for the others, success depends entirely on luck, similar to buying a lottery ticket. It cannot be said that there is no chance of winning the lottery, but it is too sweet to count on this.

Zhang Mi's so-called transcendence is of course a casual expression of sincerity.In the entire cultivation world, the only one who has systematically studied this aspect is the Gate of Rebirth. Some second- and third-rate schools and even non-celebrity schools have also dabbled in this, but they are not successful. And among the seven first-rate schools including Yunxia Sect, there is no one with a flower With energy on this matter, Zhang Mi can at most find some public information to learn by himself. This kind of learning method is probably not as deep as I am, and I might as well rely on myself if I rely on him.

——It is too troublesome to save ghosts. It is necessary to untie the knots of ghosts and make him/her feel that living in the state of ghosts is better than death. This requires a strong brainwashing skill.Cultivators have always paid attention to respecting other people's choices. To put it bluntly, each person cleans up the door and leaves others alone. Unless they are close friends or relatives, they don't bother to give them psychological counseling.

What, what should I do if I don't know how to transcend and encounter ghosts looking for trouble?

Hack them.

Spirit power can directly cause harm to ghosts.Transcendence only allows ghosts to have the possibility of reincarnation, and it is only good for ghosts. If the next life of ghosts is not considered, killing them directly is the easiest way for living people.Ordinary monks do this, and the Rebirth Gate that created the Transcendental Systematics in this respect is an outlier.

Before the Gate of Rebirth, there were actually examples of supernatural beings, but those were basically ghosts who figured it out on their own, or were inspired by people close to them, and felt that it would be better to leave a chance for themselves to have a next life, so they decided not to be ghosts.The Gate of Rebirth is brainwashing, and the ghosts will be enlightened and rush to reincarnate.

Many monks feel that the Gate of Rebirth is nosy, that if people want to be ghosts, let them be ghosts, and if they don’t want to be in the next life, they don’t want to, and the cultivation world tends to decline because of this—anyway, there are too many factors for decline, and it’s also possible for people to be ghosts. Not bad for this one - if you have to catch a stranger and brainwash him, how much time do you have?

The Gate of Rebirth said: This is how our door cultivates, can you control it?

... Tsk, what do you like.

0486_Simple tasks

Ghosts are also a life, killing ghosts directly is not much different from killing people directly, because for monks, the process of killing is not much different.But for superseding ghosts, this boundary is a bit blurred.

From a practical point of view, the ghosts that have been liberated disappear and never reappear, which is no different from death. But from the definition of the gate of death, the existence of ghosts is a kind of disorder, and the salvation is to bring this life back to the right track. .Therefore, saving is not killing, but saving—the memory fragments of ghosts after saving flashed in the minds of future generations, which is proved by examples.

So even if he knew it couldn't be done, Zhang Mi still said "extend" instead of "kill", just like he couldn't kill others just because he didn't agree with each other.Children from the mortal world come from a society ruled by law, and it is impossible for normal people to shout and kill casually.

This kind of legal awareness inherited from the mortal world has given the cultivation world, which has no laws and cannot formulate laws, some more specific and universal self-restraint clauses, not just relying on moral norms and family rules. Guiding behavior - of course, there are terms and conditions, and whether you will abide by them or not depends on each person, morality and family rules.

The order of this task is very clear, the task office did not go to verify it, but directly put the task on the task list of this sect.As for the possible problems in the task, if the strength of the person or object that cursed Feng Qiang exceeds the range that can be dealt with in the foundation building period, then this task can be converted into an investigation type when judging later, as long as the information is clear Even if the task is passed, then based on the detected information, a new task will be issued to Jin Danqi.

This kind of task that seems relatively simple and not worth taking an extra step to investigate will be marked when it is placed in the task list 'Only the client unilaterally dictates and provides related items, not verified', reminding the tasker to leave In my mind, the classification of this task may not be accurate, so beware of accidents.

At the same time, because the task executor also takes into account the work of investigation and verification, the standard of task evaluation will be lowered. If you can pass the task, you can score it as good, and if you can do it well, you can score it as excellent or even full.

Moreover, if the actual situation of this type of task is simpler than the staff estimated, for example, the staff estimated that the difficulty is [-] points, but the actual difficulty is [-] points, then after the task is completed, the task record will say that the person who completed the task A task with a difficulty of [-] is completed; and if it is estimated that it is [-] and the actual difficulty is [-], the task record will say that it has completed a task of [-].

In short, if you do a task that is simpler than the estimate, it will be considered a waste of time. If you encounter a task that is more difficult than the estimate, you will not suffer a loss if you complete it. If you fail to complete the task, you can apply for invalidation of the record, or use the completed content as a probe Class tasks are proposed separately and marked as completed directly, and there is also a priority to pick up a simple task from the task.

So this kind of task has always been very popular, no wonder Zhang Mi couldn't wait to start after grabbing it.

Zhang Mi: "No, I can't wait because the Second Young Master is here, otherwise I might wait until Zhuotuo's search is fruitful before leaving."

0487_ Throw it away

Now that Zhuo Tao didn't know how far he had found, Zhang Mi followed Feng Qiang to help him block the curse, and at the same time followed the curse to push back against the caster—if it goes well, he might find the culprit before Zhuo Tao , so in the terms of the mission, Zhuo Tao must go find it by himself, so he is really embarrassing that ghost?

"Maybe it's because Feng Qiang is already unlucky enough," Zhang Mi said, "The person who cast the curse hasn't strengthened the curse recently, so it's hard to reverse it. We still have to wait for Zhuo Tao's progress. I'm fine until Zhuo Tao replies. It’s done, Second Young Master, if you have anything to do, please tell me. For example, what is your mission? Can I help?”

I believe he must have inquired about the mission I came here for before he came, but it seems that he didn't inquire.That's right, between me and him, most people in Yunxia Sect will definitely favor me, so how can I casually disclose my situation to him?

Besides, I have made it clear that I don't need helpers for this task.

Me: "It's basically done, just wait to observe the ending."

Zhang Mi immediately praised the astonishing speed, and then shut his mouth awkwardly under my gaze - although his flattery is often exaggerated to the point of being unbearable, it is still interesting and will not challenge people's endurance.

"Go and follow Feng Qiang." After I collected the information, I turned my face and drove him away immediately.

Zhang Mi looked reluctant: "Then, Second Young Master, you can call me if you need it. You don't need to be close to monitor Feng Qiang's condition. In fact, I can grasp Feng Qiang's condition when he returns to the room here."

I don't need you at all. "Since you have done the task, be dedicated." I said as I threw the task object down the mountain and let the rain and wind blow, "Look at Feng Qiang carefully. Before his role starts, he will probably do it again. The previous series The action looks like he wants to drive Feng Qiang out of the entertainment industry completely, so although Feng Qiang is only a small supporting role this time, it should not go well."

Zhang Mi: "Second Young Master is right, Second Young Master..."

"Can you talk well?" Seeing that he was about to flatter me in a grandiose way, I said disgustedly.

Zhang Mi smiled all over his face: "Then don't disturb the Second Young Master's rest, I will go to monitor the task target personally, and when Zhuo Tao comes back, I will report the progress to the Second Young Master."

Me: "Thank you."

Zhang Mi: "Oh, that means..."

"Go slowly." I said to see off the guest again.

Zhang Mi: "See you later."
