Chapter 170 Confrontation
"Want to compete with me in geomancy?"
Tao Nanfeng couldn't believe his ears and asked back.
Jiang Qizhuo relayed Yi Tiancheng's original words.
"If I don't want you to pursue those two barbarians any further, that's fine. Let Tao Nanfeng compete with me in geomancy. I heard that she is a good architect, so she must know geomancy. If she loses, then she can become my disciple, follow me to live in Hong Kong, and cut off all ties with the mainland."
Upon hearing this, Fan Zhicheng said bitterly, "He's dreaming! What if he loses? Will he also become Tao Nanfeng's disciple and completely cut off all ties with Gangcheng? Even if he wants to, we don't want to support him."
Ever since being scolded by Tao Nanfeng, and then seeing her and Xiang Bei beating up the people from Hongcheng's metaphysics school, Fan Zhicheng felt that his thoughts had been baptized. Tao Nanfeng and Xiangbei are like two tall trees, with their roots deeply rooted in the earth, facing wind, frost, snow and rain together. When two people trust each other, never leave each other, and always move forward, this is love, this is affection.
Compared to myself, I am extremely weak.
He said that he regarded Tao Nanfeng as his only friend, but he only took and never gave. When Tao Nanfeng's lover was detained by Yi Tiancheng, he only knew to call for help and never thought about staying with Xiang Bei. Even... when Yi Tiancheng used word formation on Xiang Bei on the spot, he didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting.
Tao Nanfeng cursed well and was right.
Fan Zhicheng was extremely ashamed, and for the first time he changed his role and thought about it. No wonder they say character determines destiny. With my weak, selfish and arrogant character, I am destined to be bullied on the farm.
If he had been a little braver, if he had been a little more resolute, if he had trusted the organization a little more, how could he, a male educated youth who responded to the party's call to go to the countryside, have been suppressed for so long?
Fan Zhicheng reflected on himself seriously.
The past is gone with the wind. Now he is back in Jiangcheng, where he has family, work and friends. He has to learn to respond to other people's kindness and live up to everyone's trust in him!
Be like Tao Nanfeng, who rushed to the north as soon as there was danger and bravely faced the powerful enemy.
Just like Xiangbei, he should always trust and love Tao Nanfeng, and the first thing he should do when he sees her after regaining consciousness is to send her to a safe place.
Fan Zhicheng's words made Tao Nanfeng look at him with a hint of approval in his eyes. This awkward, selfish and weak Fan Zhicheng now finally has a little bit of manliness.
Jiang Qizhu now hates this master of metaphysics from Hong Kong City. He plays tricks all day long and tries to deceive people's minds at every turn, but there is still no way to convict him.
"Yi Tiancheng said that if he loses, he has two plots of land in Gangcheng with excellent feng shui, worth tens of millions, which he will give to Tao Nanfeng. In addition, if our Shenzhen real estate company goes to Gangcheng to develop, he will be fully responsible for looking at the land, acquiring the land, and determining the feng shui."
Tao Nanfeng raised his eyebrows but did not express his opinion.
Xiangbei asked Jiang Qizhu: "What if we don't compete with him?"
Jiang Qizhu: "We felt relieved when you beat up Yi Tiancheng, but there were many Hong Kong businessmen at the scene who didn't know the truth and talked nonsense to the Hong Kong media. Now Hong Kong newspapers and television have reported on this incident, and public opinion is not in our favor."
After saying that, Jiang Qizhu took out a few Hong Kong newspapers and placed them in front of Xiangbei.
You don't have to read the content, just the bold black title is enough to suffocate you.
[The public security in Shenzhen is worrying. A master of metaphysics was beaten up in a hotel, and the police officers just watched and did nothing! 】
[A beautiful girl from mainland China committed a crime, and Master Yi and his apprentice were beaten - people in Hong Kong should be cautious when investing in the mainland. 】
[A famous metaphysical master from Hong Kong was beaten in mainland China. Is this the decline of tradition or the loss of morality? 】
It has to be said that the Hong Kong media’s extensive bombardment caught Shenzhen residents in the 1980s off guard. The mainland media at that time was relatively conservative and rarely used eye-catching headlines. For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.
Jiang Qizhu said: "Yi Tiancheng promised that as long as Tao Nanfeng competes with him, he will hold a press conference to clarify the matter to the Hong Kong media, saying that this is just a metaphysical grudge and internal struggle, and has nothing to do with the public security of Shenzhen. He also does not intend to hold the two of you responsible, and calls on Hong Kong businessmen to continue to invest and develop in Shenzhen."
Xiangbei looked at Jiang Qizhu with a half-smile: "What if we don't compete? How can Yi Tiancheng hold us accountable? Yi Tiancheng used metaphysical means to lock my soul, and Yi Tiancheng forced me to learn Taoism from him. Nanfeng came to the hotel to save me, which was called a brave rescue, and there was nothing wrong with it. Metaphysics is showing off on our Chinese land, and the mere charge of superstitious propaganda can put you in jail."
Jiang Qizhu sighed, "What you said is true, but the problem now is that the public opinion is too bad and the leaders are worried. After all, three people from Yi Tiancheng's side have broken their legs and are still in the hospital."
Tao Nanfeng is not afraid of the geomancy competition.
The end of science is metaphysics.
She has studied building site selection, urban feng shui, and architectural psychology, and she has supernatural powers, allowing her to know the geological conditions at a glance. The only variable was that she had no idea of the superstitious mentality of the people in Hong Kong City, and didn't know how to come up with a reasonable reason to express her special abilities.
She couldn't make up nonsense like Yi Zhenghao's "the dragon is in the cave" or "the dragon pillar protects the house".
Yi Tiancheng was willing to gamble with land in Gangcheng worth tens of millions. His purpose was definitely not just to accept me as his disciple, he wanted to gain greater benefits from me.
Tao Nanfeng guessed that the supernatural power given to him by the Jade Buckle of Survival from a Desperate Situation was probably the one coveted by Yi Tiancheng and others.
If they are so eager to obtain themselves, it can only mean one thing - metaphysics has declined.
Yi Tiancheng only has two tricks: soul-locking and mind-charming. He had to make a hand seal before using any magic. The small grey light dots were very tiny, and when they met the small white light dots condensed by his fingertips, they instantly melted away. When faced with those small grey dots of light that bounced back at him, he had no power to fight back and had to pull his disciples over to block the bullets.
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and Tao Nanfeng suddenly felt confident.
What I have is a constant flow of warmth in my dantian. These warm currents not only make her extremely powerful, but also enable her to see through everything in the world. The white spots of light that can be condensed anytime and anywhere are exactly Yi Tiancheng's nemesis.
She didn't need to be afraid of Yi Tiancheng at all. Instead, it should be Yi Tiancheng who was afraid of her.
Opportunities lie in risks.
Tao Nanfeng is willing to accept the challenge.
There are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. If the danger brought by Yi Tiancheng cannot be resolved at one time, people will become careless over time, and if they fall into his trap again, the consequences will probably be even more serious.
Thinking of this, Tao Nanfeng stood up, his bright eyes sparkling as if stars were falling.
"Mr. Jiang, please arrange a time for me to meet with Yi Tiancheng and talk."
Xiangbei was startled and grabbed her arm: "What are you going to do?"
Tao Nanfeng met his gaze and smiled brightly: "You taught me that. There are two types of plots: conspiracy and overt plot. Conspiracy cannot be seen in the light, and there are traces and flaws. Overt plots follow the trend and are aboveboard. Since the opponent has already made a move, it is better to confront him head-on instead of running away!"
Every word is loud and clear, and every word lands with a sound.
Xiangbei looked at Tao Nanfeng, the corners of his mouth gradually rose, his eyes full of love. Today's Tao Nanfeng is no longer the pampered and aloof little girl at Xiufengshan Farm. She has grown into a strong person who can stand on her own, is brave, resourceful, and knows how to act.
Shenzhen is a city of efficiency.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tao Nanfeng and Yi Tiancheng sat in the reception room of the city government for a formal meeting.
Jiang Qizhu was worried that Yi Tiancheng was plotting something, so he specially borrowed the reception room on the first floor of the city government. There were guards on duty at the door, and the arrangements were formal and solemn.
Yi Tiancheng was anxious and went to the reception room first.
Sitting in the reception room of the city government, Yi Tiancheng felt a surge of righteousness coming towards him. He could not help but sit upright in his chair, not daring to move at all.
The reason why Yi Tiancheng wanted to debate with Tao Nanfeng, besides wanting to take Tao Nanfeng as his disciple and use her spiritual body to prosper himself, was that he had another idea - he wanted to use this competition to improve his status in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and attract more fans and admirers.
Yi Men has grown to the point where there are over a hundred disciples. Which of their daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, doesn’t cost money? Everyone in the Yi Clan spends money lavishly. If they want to maintain their current lavish lifestyle, it is not enough to just fleece the wealthy businessmen in Gangcheng. They must expand their business scope and win over more wealthy people.
As soon as the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was built, Yi Tiancheng instantly saw hope. China is a vast country with a large population, lots of land and many projects. If Yimen can use the Shenzhen Stock Exchange as a springboard and slowly move deeper into the mainland, will it still worry about not making money?
It's just a pity that although the mainland is the birthplace of metaphysics, in recent years, there have been large-scale movements to destroy the four olds and fight feudalism. The residents of the mainland stay away from feudal superstition, metaphysics and feng shui. We must find a way to break this situation.
Therefore, Yi Tiancheng is determined to win the debate with Tao Nanfeng this time.
He was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe today, and his thick, gray hair was tied behind his head with a headband. There was not a single wrinkle on his face for a man in his sixties, and he looked like a god. However, the broken corners of his mouth and the bruises on his cheeks destroyed his elegant and graceful look.
Because three of the four disciples he brought out had their legs broken by Tao Nanfeng, this time Yi Tiancheng had only one male disciple standing behind him. He was wearing a brown Taoist robe and was handsome. It was just because this disciple was dragged over by his master to block the bullet, and he felt a little resentful in his heart, so the smile on his face was rather forced.
When Tao Nanfeng and Xiang Bei walked into the reception room, Yi Tiancheng stood up subconsciously.
Tao Nanfeng was wearing a simple long-sleeved white shirt and a pair of loose army green trousers today. He had a belt with a colorful silk ribbon tied around his waist. His sleeves were loosely rolled up twice, revealing half of his snow-white skin. She tied her hair into two thick braids and tied them into a bun, which was tightly coiled at the back of her head. She looked neat and beautiful, giving people a heroic feeling.
Xiangbei matched Tao Nanfeng's outfit, also wearing a white shirt and military pants. He looked tall and handsome, and his toughness exuded a sense of righteousness.
Meeting Tao Nanfeng's calm and indifferent gaze, Yi Tiancheng suddenly felt suppressed.
In fact, Yi Tiancheng is very regretful now. He knew that the evil spirit in the army should not be provoked, so why did he become obsessed and accept Liu Qiyu's instigation to deal with Xiang Bei? As a result, you see, he was overwhelmed by the evil spirit and caused a bloody disaster.
He thought that Tao Nanfeng just had a noble fate, but who would have thought that she was a spiritual body and had entered the innate realm. His little mystical tricks were not enough for her to consider.
Thinking of this, Yi Tiancheng coughed and grinned. The corner of his mouth twitched in pain and he couldn't help but let out a groan.
Tao Nanfeng sat opposite Yi Tiancheng, one foot away from him.
Xiangbei stood behind Tao Nanfeng, staring at Yi Tiancheng coldly with a dignified look.
Yi Tiancheng felt his whole body crawling when Xiang Bei looked at him. He bowed and sat down.
The field was very quiet and no one spoke.
Tao Nanfeng looked at Yi Tiancheng in front of him. Her ability to mobilize the energy in her Dantian is getting stronger and stronger. Her heart is beating and her mind is focused, with air currents gathering in her eyes.
In her vision, everything has color.
She used to judge whether a structure was safe based on its color. White represents weakness, red represents danger, and green represents support. And now, as the energy in her Dantian grows stronger, she can see more and more diverse colors.
There was a small ball of gray light in Yi Tiancheng's chest and abdomen. It was only the size of two fists and the color looked faint. It seemed that his Taoism was not very good. When Yi Tiancheng used magic, he had to use hand movements to mobilize these gray light balls. Just like he controlled Xiangbei before, he commanded these gray light balls to drill into the opponent's brain, which was "soul locking".
Looking at the disciple behind him, there was only a gray light ball the size of a teacup on his chest, and the color was even lighter.
Tao Nanfeng curled the corners of his mouth and felt relaxed instantly.
People in the Xuanmen practice martial arts, and what they practice should be this gray light ball in the chest and abdomen. Tao Nanfeng gave it a name, "Xuanqi". Then he carefully felt the warm current contained in his dantian, which was thick, heavy and strong, a hundred times more powerful than Yi Tiancheng's mysterious energy. Tao Nanfeng called it "true energy".
I don’t know why, Tao Nanfeng is only in his twenties and doesn’t look like he has any Xuanmen background at all, but when facing each other like this, Yi Tiancheng felt guilty for no reason.
He spoke first, breaking the silence.
"Miss Tao..."
Tao Nanfeng interrupted him: "Please call me Ms. Tao." The title of Miss sounded really awkward.
Yi Tiancheng had no choice but to change his address: "Boss Tao, the last incident was a misunderstanding. I don't want to detain Xiang Bei, but because he has a unique bone structure, I want to keep him by my side to discuss Taoism."
Tao Nanfeng: "Have you consulted him and me about the Dao?"
Yi Tiancheng looked a little embarrassed: "Well...if you don't agree, just take me away. Why bother making a fuss?"
“Bang!”
Tao Nanfeng slammed the table heavily.
Yi Tiancheng shuddered and his eyes turned cold. He was used to being admired in Hong Kong, but when he came to the mainland, he was suddenly slammed on the table by a young girl. He felt very angry. If he had not been afraid of Tao Nanfeng and Xiang Bei's fighting power, he would have stood up and taught them a lesson.
Tao Nanfeng: "You used the Soul Locking Technique without authorization and forcibly detained Xiangbei in the hotel. Now you just casually say it was just a misunderstanding and forget about it?"
Yi Tiancheng also lost his temper: "You have fought and made a scene, but you two have not suffered any loss. Instead, my apprentice and I were injured. What else do you want?!"
Tao Nanfeng sneered: "Using the soul-locking technique to fascinate the mind and forcibly detaining citizens on the pretext of recruiting disciples is illegal! Is there a problem if we resist?"
Yi Tiancheng: "Who can prove that I used Xuanmen magic? I didn't do anything! Xiangbei wanted to learn Taoism from me, who can I blame? As for him changing his mind later, I can't do anything about it."
Tao Nanfeng: "Playing tricks? It turns out that people in the field of metaphysics are just like this."
Yi Tiancheng got angry when he heard this: "How dare you, little girl, look down on us metaphysical people!"
He quickly formed a hand seal with his right hand, mobilized the mysterious energy in his chest and abdomen, and flew towards Tao Nanfeng in front of him. This hand seal is the technique to immobilize the body. He had no intention of hurting Tao Nanfeng, he just wanted to tie her hands on the table.
Yi Tiancheng was a native of Lu Province. He learned geomancy, physiognomy, and divination from his master. During the war, he hid in Gangcheng. After dealing with several difficult matters in succession, he gradually made a name for himself and established the Yi Sect. The master who taught him once said that the spiritual world collapsed and ordinary people could not cultivate much mysterious energy at all, and could only practice slowly.
After decades of practice, Yi Tiancheng gained some profound energy and was able to use techniques such as soul-locking and body-immobilization. His heart gradually expanded and he felt that he was already a hermit and no longer took ordinary people seriously.
Tao Nanfeng was well prepared. When he saw him making the hand seal, he held his breath and concentrated, secretly memorizing it.
When the small gray light flew over, she gathered a ball of dazzling white light on her fingertips and tapped it lightly.
When Xuan Qi meets Zhen Qi, it is like a child meeting an adult, the two are completely powerless to resist. Under Tao Nanfeng's guidance, he turned around and pounced towards Yi Tiancheng.
Tao Nanfeng imitated Yi Tiancheng's hand seals and simply repeated his previous actions. It was also strange that this action seemed to carry a magical power, drawing out the true energy between her dantian.
Tao Nanfeng's body was filled with abundant internal energy, but she could only condense it at her fingertips and could not release it. But as soon as she made this hand seal, the true energy separated from her fingertips and flew towards where her thoughts were.
Yi Tiancheng felt the chill again and was about to reach out to drag his disciple over, but unexpectedly the male disciple who had been used as a scapegoat by him once took a few steps back and he missed his chance.
The mysterious energy and true energy gathered together and hit Yi Tiancheng hard.
Yi Tiancheng's hands were bound by a mysterious force and he could no longer move at all. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and the smell of blood rose from his throat. He felt the pain of backlash for the first time.
Yi Tiancheng stared at Tao Nanfeng in a daze. His great panic made him shout loudly: "You, it turns out you are a metaphysical person!" For the first time, Yi Tiancheng realized that he had underestimated the heroes of the world.
No wonder Yi Zhenghao was backfired, no wonder Liu Qiyu returned empty-handed, no wonder Xiang Bei broke the soul-locking technique as soon as he saw Tao Nanfeng, it turned out that Tao Nanfeng was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, she is a person of metaphysics! And he is a rare master!
Tao Nanfeng said calmly: "Now can we discuss the geomancy competition seriously and equally?"
Cold sweat trickled down Yi Tiancheng's forehead, and his heart was beating as rapidly as a drum. How old is Tao Nanfeng? To be able to have such brilliant means in her twenties, she must have the support of a top sect.
He looked at Tao Nanfeng steadily, and his previous arrogant expression disappeared completely, becoming cautious and respectful.
"Master Tao, you have such ability, who dares to compete with you?"
Tao Nanfeng smiled lightly: "We still have to compare."
Through geomancy competitions, we can suppress the arrogance of Hong Kong's Feng Shui masters and break the influence of feudal superstition in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. By the way, we can also help the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's infrastructure and attract more investment from Hong Kong businessmen. It is a win-win situation. Why not compete?
Yi Tiancheng was unable to untie Tao Nanfeng's restraints. He struggled for a long time, but his hands seemed to be glued to the table. Knowing that he was far behind her in realm, he had to soften his attitude and said, "Master Tao, tell me, how do we compare?"
There was a strange light flowing in Tao Nanfeng's eyes. She slowly opened her mouth and stated her conditions.
"First, you hold a press conference in Hong Kong City, explaining that the previous dispute at the Lanyu Hotel was just a misunderstanding, a friendly exchange between like-minded people, and that the public security and investment environment in Shenzhen are very good. Please ask them not to report it recklessly.
Second, you and I each choose a piece of land, and use our own methods to observe the terrain and feng shui, and compete with each other.
Third, if I win, all your previous promises will be fulfilled. If you win, I will teach you the method of cultivation, and I guarantee that your skills will improve by leaps and bounds. ”
Tao Nanfeng said the same thing, Yi Tiancheng nodded, how could he dare to raise any objection? Previously, he wanted to accept Tao Nanfeng as his apprentice, but now it seems that Tao Nanfeng is a hundred times more powerful than him. The fact that he did not take his life and was willing to compete with him showed that the master was broad-minded.
Yi Tiancheng smiled bitterly: "Master, I agree with everything you said. We can sign a competition agreement later. If you win, the land of Gangcheng will be offered to you with both hands; if I win by chance, please teach me the method of cultivation."
Tao Nanfeng smiled slightly and stood up: "Okay!"
