Under Xiaoyu's indoctrination, Zhou Yuanyuan learned many taboos in the world of cultivation.
Compared to ordinary people, cultivators are vastly superior. A cultivator in the Jindan stage could reduce a city to ash with a single wave of their hand. Not to mention cultivators in the Yuanying stage and above. If cultivators intervened in mortal warfare, it would be nothing less than a one-sided massacre. Therefore, among the taboos of the cultivation world, one prohibits cultivators from intervening in secular wars.
Zhou Yuanyuan got two jade talismans for Zhou Zhixin and Wen Ziqing for self-defense, taking advantage of a small loophole in "Heaven's Way".
Zhou Zhixin and Wen Ziqing are both relatives of Zhou Yuanyuan. It is not a foul for a cultivator to give talismans or other things for self-defense because he cares about his own blood relatives and descendants.
The things a monk left behind for his relatives in the secular world could only be used to protect one's own life, and could not arbitrarily change the outcome of a war. This was one of the reasons why Zhou Yuanyuan had concealed Zhou Zhixin and Wen Ziqing's jade talismans with a sleight of hand.
If Zhou Yuanyuan "mass-produced" the Vajra Jade Talisman, it would definitely be a violation.
Xiaoyu had said that every world had its own "Heavenly Way," whose rules all creatures must abide by. If a cultivator interfered in a war, Heaven would punish them. Xiaoyu didn't specify what the punishment would be, but Zhou Yuanyuan guessed it would be something like a natural disaster beyond human control.
In Zhou Yuanyuan's past life, China was the victor in this war between China and the small southern kingdom. What if she created a diamond jade talisman and violated a taboo, and "heaven's law" brought punishment upon the Chinese people? Wouldn't she have done something bad with good intentions?
"Really?" General Zhou stared at Zhou Yuanyuan without blinking, as if hoping to see a hint of relief from her face. It really felt a pity that such a good "protective shield" couldn't be used in war.
"It's really not possible, Grandpa Zeng. All the methods used by cultivators cannot be used in war. It is against the harmony of nature." Zhou Yuanyuan frowned seriously, stretched out a finger and quietly pointed to the sky.
"Alas!" General Zhou sighed, knowing that Zhou Yuanyuan would not be able to help with this "protective shield" matter. Although General Zhou did not believe in ghosts and gods, he was not so stubborn as to poke a hole in the sky for no reason.
And Zhou Yuanyuan was right. The road is forged step by step, and war is also a sharp tool for honing the army. Soldiers, without external help, are rapidly growing in war. After this war, a large number of outstanding generals will surely emerge.
But, it's really a pity! General Zhou smacked his lips regretfully.
"But my dad also has one." Zhou Yuanyuan lowered her voice and whispered into General Zhou's ear.
"Oh! My dear! Your dad really did love you right." General Zhou felt incredibly comforted when he heard his grandson also had a "protective shield" like Wen Ziqing's. He was just about to ask his dear great-granddaughter why she didn't give such a good thing to her own son, Zhixin. Fortunately, the little girl was sensible and knew the difference between close and distant relatives.
"Grandpa Zeng, didn't you say that Brother Ziqing is missing? Where did he disappear? How did he disappear?" After Zhou Yuanyuan finished talking about the Vajra Jade Talisman, she thought of Wen Ziqing, whom she had always been concerned about. She didn't bother to be polite with General Zhou and asked directly.
"Yuanyuan! This is a bit weird. Several living people just disappeared from the ward of the field hospital." General Zhou couldn't help shaking his head when talking about this. It was too unbelievable. A group of people, not air, how could they suddenly disappear?
Wen Ziqing was suspended from work and investigated by his superiors because someone reported him for irregularities at work and he refused to reveal the secret of the "protective shield".
Just when General Zhou asked someone to bring Wen Ziqing back to Kyoto, an accident happened.
Wen Ziqing accompanied his comrade Meng Xiaohu to the field hospital to change his dressings and to visit his subordinate Wang Xuyang who was hospitalized. In Wang Xuyang's ward, Wen Ziqing and Wang Xuyang argued for a few words. Just as Wen Ziqing was about to leave, Wang Xuyang jumped up from the bed like crazy and grabbed Wen Ziqing.
At this moment, the air in the ward twisted and everyone inside disappeared. Among them was Li Hongmei, a female doctor who had gone to the ward to examine Wang Xuyang.
Li Hongmei? Why does this name sound familiar? Zhou Yuanyuan frowned.
"Logically speaking, the battle on the front line is intense, and the field hospital is near the garrison camp, so it shouldn't be possible for people to go missing. But the fact is so strange, Wen Ziqing, Wang Xuyang and the other three disappeared under everyone's noses. At that time, Meng Xiaohu had just changed the medicine and went to Wang Xuyang's ward to find Wen Ziqing. He stood at the door and watched this scene happen in the ward." General Zhou was also in a heavy mood. Such a strange thing happened within the army, and it couldn't be explained clearly by a simple sentence that he saw it wrongly.
Meng Xiaohu saw that the situation was not good, and rushed into the room shouting, trying to catch Wen Ziqing, but unfortunately he caught nothing. Meng Xiaohu's voice attracted two more medical staff, who happened to see this scene.
Currently, everyone in the hospital who knew about this, including Meng Xiaohu, has been ordered by General Zhou to keep quiet. The field hospital is located near the frontline garrison headquarters, and if word of such a strange incident were to spread within the military, it would cause unrest.
"Grandpa Zeng, you said... Brother Ziqing and the others disappeared suddenly? They disappeared right under everyone's noses?" Zhou Yuanyuan listened to General Zhou's narration and keenly grasped the key point.
"Yes! I had those witnesses brought to Kyoto and questioned them several times, and the results were the same." General Zhou was baffled. No matter how fast a person was, they couldn't escape from everyone's sight in a second. Furthermore, everyone said in unison that Wen Ziqing and the others were right next to the bedside, not even moving, and simply vanished into thin air. The scene was like a paranormal event.
"Grandpa Zeng, I want to go to the scene. Could you please have Zhou Cheng from the Special Operations Team go with me?" Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that Zhou Cheng from the Special Operations Team had a sense of smell. They had once worked together on the mass death case in Cuiyuan Village. During that operation, Zhou Cheng's sense of smell had been very effective.
"Okay, take Xiao Geng and Zhou Xi with you and go to the frontline camp!" General Zhou nodded and dispatched his own guard, Xiao Geng. Xiao Geng's subordinates were quite skilled, but their minds weren't very flexible. If there was a chance, General Zhou would definitely want him to learn from Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Cheng, just to see the world and benefit Xiao Geng's future development.
General Zhou wasn't one to forget his roots. The last time He Shumin had secretly plotted against him and he fell unconscious, it was Xiao Geng's resolute defense that prevented Dean Hao from further harming him. If there was a chance for Xiao Geng to gain some experience, General Zhou would definitely give him a hand.
