In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.
For instance, when engag...
"I'm not sure what Sister Yingchun is now either..." Liao Zhiyuan slowly shook his head.
“Brother Quantum, there are no people in the world who can live beyond their natural lifespan. Besides you, I only know of one other kind: the ‘survivor’.”
"But such things are extremely rare, even extremely rare."
"Sister Yingchun is clearly not that kind of person..."
After listening to the conversation between Zhao Youliang and the other person, Li Mao, who was still in shock, suddenly spoke up.
"Um... I don't know, I'm just talking nonsense... Is Sister Yingchun possessed by a ghost?"
"And then a ghost impersonated her to deceive us?!"
Zhao Youliang could answer Li Mao's question.
He slowly shook his head: "Little Li, even if you are possessed by a ghost, the yang fire in your body will not be extinguished immediately."
"Moreover, after a ghost possesses a person, that person's lifespan will not disappear, but will only be shortened."
"It's like a cuckoo taking over a magpie's nest, but the nest itself remains."
The three pondered for a long time but could not figure out the reason, so they could only call out Huang Yu and other immortals to ask.
Huang Yu, the most knowledgeable among the immortals, was equally bewildered and shook his head, unable to explain.
Just as Zhao Youliang was filled with worry and disappointment, Chang Jie, who was smoking cheap cigarettes, suddenly spoke weakly.
"Quantum, why don't you ask me?"
Zhao Youliang was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Egg Boy, do you know what happened? Tell me quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Jie, who looked like a dead maggot, took a deep drag on his cigarette and then slumped onto the eggshell with a thud.
"I don't know either......"
"Egg Boy, you..." Before Zhao Youliang could complain, Chang Jie continued after taking a deep breath.
“I didn’t know until I saw it… The master said that my uneven eyes are natural ‘spiritual eyes,’ similar to those of Erlang Shen, who can see through all illusions.”
"So you have to let me see 'delicious' beautiful women."
The "delicious" beauty Chang Jie mentioned refers to Sister Yingchun, meaning that she cooks delicious food.
Overjoyed, Zhao Youliang immediately tried to carry Chang Jie to Yingchun's house, but Chang Jie struggled to break free.
"Quantum, don't worry, our misaligned eyes only work well at night."
"During the day, he's practically blind... not really blind, but like someone with high myopia and astigmatism."
"So we fly slowly, firstly because we are inherently slow, and secondly because we dare not fly fast, for fear of crashing into trees."
Everyone, including Huang Yu, was clearly seeing for the first time how amazing Chang Jie's eyesight was.
One more thing: Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun is the Erlang Shen we all know. Among all the gods in the celestial realm, he is the only one who obeys orders but not summons (Note 1).
"Alright!" Zhao Youliang nodded deeply after hearing Chang Jie's words.
"Then tonight, I'll take you to see Sister Yingchun."
"Egg Boy, you have to take a good look at me. If you can 'cure' me, I'll buy you a pack of cigarettes that costs three yuan!"
Strangely, Chang Jie was clearly not interested in switching to "good cigarettes," and shook his head listlessly.
"My mother said that men should be loyal, so I won't switch, I'll just smoke this one."
"This cigarette is alright, it's strong... but it stings my eyes and burns my throat a bit."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
After a brief moment of awkwardness, Zhao Youliang tried to make conversation.
"Hey Egg Boy, your uneven eyes are 'spiritual eyes,' but what about your cross-eyed eyes?"
"It can't just grow for nothing, right? It must have some use, right?"
"Yes, of course," Chang Jie replied matter-of-factly.
"The young general taught me that it can fire 'lasers'."
As soon as Chang Jie finished speaking, he covered for Zhao Youliang by using all his strength to glare at the center with both eyes.
Only when his face turned red and his neck bulged did he emit a black and a white light from each of his two small eyes, which converged one centimeter in front of his nose and then crackled with fire.
It looked like a small welding machine.
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Egg Boy, is that all? Can it only be launched this close?"
"What good is this?!"
“It works.” Chang Jie maintained the “laser” emission as if he were constipated, while simultaneously controlling a cigarette to fly up.
After flying to where the two beams of light converged, the cigarette was immediately lit.
Chang Jie quickly sucked it into his mouth and enjoyed smoking it.
At the same time, the laser was turned off, and his eyes, one large and one small, were red and constantly tearing up.
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Hey Egg Boy, don't tell me this thing can only be used to light cigarettes!"
"And what's wrong with your eyes? Is firing lasers really that bad for your eyes?!"
Zhao Youliang felt sorry for the strange egg, and while talking, he took out a tissue to wipe Chang Jie's eyes.
Chang Jie remained half-dead: "Yeah, for now, I can only light a cigarette."
"However, the master said that when my skills are high enough, I will be able to use my eyes to project the abilities he taught me."
"The left eye is the 'Light of Annihilation,' and the right eye is the 'Light of Nothingness.' If both eyes stare at someone at the same time, whoever they stare at will die."
At this point, this unusual direct descendant of the Chang family actually blushed.
"Actually, the young general also taught me a trick, which he invented himself, called 'Stare at Whoever Makes Them Pregnant'."
"But my parents didn't let me learn it."
Zhao Youliang, everyone: "..."
At this moment, they were only secretly lamenting the young general's despicable behavior, but they overlooked an important point: the "annihilation and nothingness" that the teacher taught Chang Jie.
If Chang Jie were to master these two moves, it wouldn't be as simple as just glaring at someone and killing them...
Time passed quickly, and nothing else strange happened that day.
After dark, Zhao Youliang couldn't wait to carry Chang Jie straight to the barbecue stall.
Unfortunately, he arrived too early; the beautiful widow Yingchun, as lovely as a peach, hadn't arrived yet.
Chang Jie complained as he puffed on his cigarette, "Why are you here so early? You might as well let me sleep a little longer. Staying awake is a waste of cigarettes."
"I don't have many cigarettes left... My parents are both rich, and I don't even have money to smoke. There's no justice in this."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang realized that he had been too hasty and quickly made a promise.
"Little Egg, go ahead and smoke if you want. I'll buy you ten more later."
"Oh, by the way, when your sister gets here, you must take a good look at her!"
Chang Jie was clearly a maggot driven by "smoke," and immediately perked up upon hearing this.
"Okay, don't worry about Quantum."
"However, my eyes only work properly after 11 p.m., which is after midnight."
"I used to be nearsighted and had astigmatism."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Alright, midnight it is."
"We've already waited all day, so what's another half night?"
"Hey Egg Boy, what do you want to eat? I'll have the kitchen bake it for you. Eat more and smoke less; it's good for your health."
Outside the book: Due to various reasons, I have been wandering around without a fixed place to live recently. I will resume normal updates today.
I'm sorry everyone.
