I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 576: Flip a Coin, Impermanence (5k)

In the homestay, the proprietress, wearing a positioning anklet, was curled up on the sofa watching sweet dramas. Her life now was quite comfortable and she was quite satisfied.

With absolutely sufficient reasons, she can refuse all requests that require going out. Things that were difficult to refuse before can now be directly refused, saying that she has been captured by the Lieyang Tribe and is now restricted in her activities.

Anyone who knows the news will immediately express their understanding, but some people who know the news in advance will not even look for her.

Before, she couldn't refuse many things.

Unless she stops doing business, developing personal connections, or obtaining intelligence, she will stop doing anything she wants to do.

When the proprietress heard the sound of the phone, she picked it up and her expression suddenly changed.

She received a text message from the number 10001. The first half was a normal advertisement for data packages, but the second half abruptly added a sentence "We need the tears of the people of Taohua Village."

She kept looking, and in less than ten seconds, the words disappeared.

She knew that this was a request from Wen Yan and it was not the first time. She didn't even know how this was done.

The people of Taohua Village have not appeared for a long time.

In the official records of the Fiery Sun Tribe, it is called functional extinction.

This means that it can be confirmed that the population is so small that it can no longer sustain survival and reproduction, but there is a high possibility that there are still a very small number of individuals that have not died.

When all the remaining individuals die, the species officially enters a state of extinction.

The proprietress thought carefully about her previous request. Wen Yan did not ask whether the person knew the Taohua villagers or whether he knew the living Taohua villagers. As long as the villagers' tears were there, there would be room for negotiation.

The proprietress thought about it and realized that she did know a Taohua villager, but she had never met him.

When the other party encountered some minor troubles, she helped him out. She speculated that the other party might be a wandering Taohua Township dweller, so he might not have participated in the crazy land-grabbing incident that year, which is why he was lucky enough to survive.

The proprietress had heard a few words and knew that it was not simple madness, but a test.

As long as the people of Taohua Township succeeded in cutting off an inch of land, the Lieyang Tribe would not have to retreat a single step. As long as there was even a slight hesitation or a tiny bit of leniency when charging and killing, then the follow-up would begin.

Unfortunately, the leader of the Lieyang tribe was very sober and acted decisively. He was not so cruel as to cut down mountains and destroy temples. He went straight to wipe out the entire clan without leaving anyone alive.

Afterwards, of course, the curtain hadn’t been opened yet, the stage hadn’t been built, and the foundation had been completely dismantled. Now everyone knew clearly where the red line was.

The proprietress didn't know what the use of the tears of the Taohua villagers was, but since Wen Yan wanted them, she would give it a try. As an informant, she had to demonstrate her value.

She tried hard to recall an email account. She took out an old non-smartphone and tried the password several times. After getting it right, she closed the prompt to bind the phone, entered the mailbox, and sent some messages to an email address.

The content is basically something like, we haven't been in touch for a long time, I wonder how you are doing now, and then the real point is hidden in it.

Soon, she received a read receipt.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Taohua villager was still alive. Then it would depend on whether they could reach an agreement.

Thousands of miles away, the man was still sitting there in deep thought when an email notification popped up on his computer.

Someone sent a message to a mailbox that had not been used for a long time.

He saw the message and the point of it, which was to ask him if he could get some tears.

The man knew what this was going to do at a glance.

The tears of the people of Taohua Village will only be used in two places, one of which is as material for opening the goal.

In the old days, it was called opening the third eye; in today's terms, it is called temporarily expanding the range of vision and visible dimension.

It can be considered an enhanced version of cow's tears, except that cow's tears or willow leaves are opened to allow ordinary people to see ghosts.

The tears of the people in Taohua Village are because they want to see the stealth characters, including the blind spots people hiding in the blind spots of people's vision and perception.

Men know that the two most commonly used places are one for people in blind spots and the other for gods.

In the current situation, it goes without saying that this is to target ghosts in blind spots.

The man was just now pondering over what to choose and what to do, and he still hasn't made up his mind.

Then he went to the key box at the door of his house and took out a coin.

"If it's positive, choose left; if it's negative, choose right."

With a clear ding sound, the coin spun and bounced up, and after it fell into his hand, he recalled what had happened before.

At that time, he and his wife were discussing where to settle down after marriage.

At that time, he worked in a financial company in another city, and his wife worked in her current city.

The result of the discussion is to toss a coin and decide it once and for all. In this way, there is no need for discussion, let alone a quarrel during the discussion.

However, his wife flipped the coin, and the moment she caught it, she threw the coin away without looking at the result, then rushed over to tell him that she listened to him, not God's will.

His wife said that when she was a child, her father told her that when faced with two choices and unable to make a choice, to flip a coin.

Of course, this is not about asking the coin to make the choice for you. No one can make the choice for you. What it means is that at the moment when the coin is tossed and the result has not yet appeared, the result you want in your heart is your own choice.

His wife said that she didn't want to separate and didn't want to discuss it, and she would come to this city to find a new job later.

Then he quit his job at the financial company and moved to another city.

At this moment, he looked down at his fist. He did not look at the result of the coin toss, but threw the coin back into the key box.

He already has his choice.

He chose the most difficult option.

So, now he has to think about what to do.

How can he, as a resident of Taohua Village, cut off ties with the past, get out of this situation safely, and finally preserve his current life without affecting his family?

After thinking about it, there is only one way, which is to send something like the Dead Corner Ghost to die.

He returned to his study and looked at the email opened on his computer. There it was, a breakthrough point right at his doorstep.

He seldom uses this email address anymore. The only person who can send messages to this email address is the alien who helped him in the past.

He kept this email address and later tried to find the other party. He found out where the other party was and even contacted the other party online under another identity.

A few days ago, he heard that the other party was captured by the Lieyang Tribe. He actually wanted to do something, but unexpectedly, the Lieyang Tribe released him very quickly, but only restricted his range of activities.

Looking at the news again now, he understood why.

It turned out that he had made a deal with the Lieyang Tribe, and might have had some relationship with Wen Yan. No wonder he was released. There must have been someone who guaranteed him.

He thought it was a good idea, as now was the time for the other party to demonstrate their value, and he could help and find a point of entry.

The Taoist in gray robe said that if he came to look for him, he might attract the attention of the Lieyang Tribe.

The man was not actually too worried about this. The energy of the Lieyang Tribe was limited and things had different priorities. Even if he was willing to investigate, the most he would find out was that the Taoist in gray robe came to him for other matters, and the focus would not be on him.

The man opened the drawer, pulled it out completely and unloaded it, then reached to the innermost part, opened a small door inside, and pulled out a small ampoule that was one inch high.

The small bottle was filled with pure water, and in it there was also a small amount of something that was clearly different from water and was insoluble in water.

These are his tears, the tears he once shed, which were collected by him. This small ampoule contains a part of them.

He rummaged through the cupboard and found another box. He broke the ampoule and transferred the contents into a small plastic bottle. After taking protective measures, he finished packing it. The outer packaging showed that it was a home gardening rapid rooting liquid.

Then he replied to the email and told the other party to place an order at a gardening store on the e-commerce platform for a few pots of flowers and a few bottles of quick rooting liquid.

The express package was sent out on the same day, and no one knew that there was an extra bottle of rapid rooting liquid in the package.

The next afternoon, the van arrived at the door of the B&B. The courier said that the lady boss was lucky. If the courier arrived an hour later, it would have to be delivered the day after tomorrow.

There are few people here, and you have to drive in along the mountain road. During the non-peak season, express delivery is only delivered once every two days.

The proprietress opened the package and got busy. She took out the flowers she had bought to help them grow, put away the bottles of quick rooting liquid, turned them over to look at the bottom of the bottles, then held them up to the light to look at them herself. It was easy to tell which were the real goods.

After getting it, she was very satisfied. She sent an email to thank the other party and then replied to Wen Yan to let him know that she had received the item.

Meanwhile, Wen Yan was dizzy from flipping through the books. Whenever she saw those books and those words, she would have a feeling: What does this word mean? Why do I suddenly not recognize this word?
Then it slowly became, wow, the person who created this character is really amazing, this character is really pictographic, I recognized it again.

Hey, this word looks so familiar, how do you pronounce it, what does it mean? After receiving the message, Wen Yan let out a sigh of relief and decisively put down the ancient book in his hand.

"Prince Zhu, there's no need to look for him. I received some news. Someone helped me get some tears from the people of Taohua Village."

Prince Zhu put down the book, smiling, and in a good mood.

Every time he found an opportunity, he would pull Wen Yan to read books here, and he would feel a sense of pleasure when he saw Wen Yan's eyes gradually becoming confused.

Of course, as an old antique, I didn’t like being forced to read and study when I was a child, but when I got older, I really liked to let the younger generations read more and study more.

After understanding what a cultivator is, he is now more keen on dragging Wen Yan to read books. At least there is no harm in it. It can help him think about it. Even if it is washed by water, at least some water marks will be left behind.

"Okay, then you take a break. I have a better borneol here, not the artificially synthesized kind. I will ask the people at Yaowang Mountain to help me prepare it when the time comes."

"Thank you, Prince Zhu."

"Fortunately, it was rumored that you were dead before, otherwise, there would definitely be other things to ask you later. After your cultivation spread, many people wanted to ask you for advice and share some experience, especially warriors. If you have time, it would be best if you write something."

"Next time definitely!"

"Don't do it next time. There are old guys who have come to me to plead for mercy."

"But there are so many people who know more about cultivators than I do. I really don't understand much about theory, especially organizing and summarizing it into something that can be taught. That's too difficult."

"Just forget it. The problem is that people just believe you. You are the source. No matter what I say, they just say 'You are right, but I just want to see Wen Yan'. What can I do?"

"..."

Wen Yan sighed. It seemed that he really had to write this thing, but he really didn't know how to describe it accurately.

Words are like this. It was a bit difficult for him to describe his feelings in detail, without ambiguity or deviation, so that people could clearly understand what it was.

Especially when it comes to the foundations of a profession, he dare not speak carelessly. In case there is any deviation or ambiguity, it will harm others.

"Let's find an opportunity to meet in person later. We can talk about writing next time."

Wen Yan had rested for less than half a day when the things were delivered to Prince Zhu. Prince Zhu took the tears of the people of Taohua Village and went to find someone to make them.

Wen Yan was still waiting for news to see if there was any news about the ghost in the blind spot, but unfortunately, there was no news.

Although Feng Wei and Tong Si successfully changed their jobs, their final names have never been finalized.

At night, around 11 o'clock, Wen Yan felt that the two people's breath began to become unstable.

When I came to Tong Si and Feng Wei's room, I saw the black and white energy flowing inside. Tong Si's pupils were constantly rolling, and Feng Wei's ghost bones were also constantly trembling.

After seeing the two of them, a hint appeared in Wen Yan's eyes.

"The deadline for deciding your career is approaching. You can use the alchemy method to refine it into a career change certificate."

"Extra tip from Dark xx: Tsk, if this stubborn ghost who insisted on staying in the Yang world to change his job were to refine a pill, it would definitely be a stronger pill."

"You have discovered a way to improve the quality of the finished elixir."

Wen Yan was silent for a moment, then immediately spoke.

"Feng Wei, hurry up, open the door and enter the underworld."

Before Feng Wei could use his spare hoe, the ghost bone had already smashed the glass and flew out of the window.

Feng Wei waved a hoe and dug twice on the land under the tree outside the house. Then the ground cracked and a dirt road appeared.

Feng Wei and Tong Si, wrapped in black and white evil spirits, quickly entered the path and disappeared.

Wen Yan said in a low voice, telling others not to get close, and followed him in.

Enter the path and go all the way to the underworld.

The moment the two men stepped into the underworld, their professional attires automatically appeared.

The black and white energies flowing through their bodies blended together and spread out in the underworld.

In an instant, the countless souls that had been moving forward along the road in the underworld all stopped.

As they were becoming more and more powerful, and the negative energy on their bodies was becoming heavier, Wen Yan saw another hint.

"Extra tip from Dark xx: If you enlighten me and refine the elixir again, it will definitely be upgraded to a higher level."

This identity is becoming increasingly wrong.

But Wen Yan understood that if he gave a blessing at this time, with the help of Lieyang's enlightenment, it would be of great benefit to Tong Si and Feng Wei.

He walked forward, ignoring the black and white evil spirit, placed his hands on the shoulders of the two men, and blessed them.

The moment the Yang energy was applied, Wen Yan's hand was bounced away, and the two of them were wrapped in black and white energy, with the light of Yang energy blending into it, shining continuously.

Almost an hour passed before the two energies dissipated and the aura swept across the underworld.

One was wearing a loose black robe and had a serious expression, while the other was wearing a white robe and looked much easier to talk to.

The difference from that day was not too big, except that there were some more red-gold patterns on the clothes, and Feng Wei's clothes had become a loose robe.

"Because of your guidance, my original career was settled, but there was a slight deviation.

A profession that originally could only appear at night and could only be lived outside the world of the living, after being settled, can be active in the world of the living.

The powers and capabilities have changed.”

"Impermanence."

“One is to punish corruption, the other is to correct mistakes.

One is called bone-examination, the other is called soul-stirring.

One is called refutation, the other is called admonition.

People abandon the norm, but ghosts are also unpredictable. "

"If the profession that you personally refined the elixir, enlightened, and guided yourself gets out of control, you must be responsible for it and you have the obligation to deal with it personally."

"Temporary ability: Deprivation (requires more than 80% of Lieyang, alchemy, and Taotie myth core)"

When Wen Yan saw the temporary ability, he naturally knew that this was the most suitable ability for the moment, deduced based on the strength he already had.

Tried to equip it.

"Deprivation: When you have enough authority and meet enough prerequisites, you can deprive the other party of their profession and turn it into a corresponding job transfer certificate."

Obviously, now is the state where sufficient prerequisites are met.

Wen Yan just took a look at the effect of the temporary ability and had no intention of using it. He remembered that he seemed to have triggered a similar temporary ability before, but he had never used it.

Tong Si and Feng Wei stood in the middle of the road to the underworld. All the dead souls on the road stopped and avoided these two newly emerged, impermanent beings whose careers were completely determined.

This is to show respect to the two impermanences, and it is also suppressed by the impermanence.

Wen Yan was very familiar with this kind of suppression. It was an all-round and comprehensive suppression, an essential difference.

But Wen Yan was a little curious. Aren’t these two ghosts and gods?
He didn't feel that the ghosts and gods' natural enemies were working against the two of them.

"How are you two feeling?"

Tong Si and Feng Wei stood there, shoulder to shoulder, and only at this moment did they truly feel what it felt like to have completed their careers.

"I feel like... we both need to inspect the underworld first. We will complete our job transfer here. This is where we have our authority. Our responsibilities and authority are equal."

"Let's go. I'll go with you. I haven't walked the underworld for many days. I'm not used to it..." Wen Yan felt a little nostalgic. Now he really couldn't get used to taking a long-distance ride in the car.

Hearing Wen Yan's words, Feng Wei hesitated for a moment and said.

"Forget it. I feel like...if I follow the two of us here, my soul will be taken away."
