Chapter 188 Shinto



Huang Yu was naturally moved by Zhao Youliang's respect.

However, he did not act arbitrarily, but instead turned his attention to Chang Jie.

This strange Chang family immortal remained the same as always, puffing on cheap cigarettes and muttering to himself in a neurotic manner.

"My parents are dragons, but I'm just a maggot. How can you explain this?"

Although it was still the same old three things, this sentence also reminded Huang Yu.

Yes, with Chang Jie's parents and family background, even without the opportunity of the paper-making shop, he should have been able to ascend to heaven as a dragon.

It just takes longer.

In that case, how could I delay his and Quantum's relationship just to force an opportunity for myself?

Upon realizing this, Huang Yu smiled and nodded in response: "Quantum, it's best to stay away from danger."

"As for our path of cultivation, we can accumulate merit gradually in the future."

"Alright!" Seeing that Huang Yu had no objections, Zhao Youliang nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Liao, then I'll leave it to you!"

"But you were just sent here by your sect, if you go back like this..."

Liao Zhiyuan clearly knew what Zhao Youliang wanted to say, and shook his head slowly and indifferently upon hearing it.

"At worst, I'll just not go back to my sect for now and cultivate with you and Brother Yu."

"I don't have many ambitions, and I've never thought about ascending to immortality."

"It would be great to live happily for decades like this."

Now that everyone had reached a consensus, Liao Zhiyuan immediately began to "take action".

He was seen holding the labor contract signed by Zhao Youliang as he walked to the middle of the courtyard.

After asking Zhao Youliang for his birth date and time, he took out his "birth chart" and silently calculated his destiny.

The Eight Characters Destiny Chart is one of the commonly used "tools" in the New Eight Characters School, and it is composed of the eight characters of birth date and time.

Before generating a birth chart, the client must provide their birth date and time (based on the lunar calendar).

The fortune teller can then generate the corresponding birth chart based on this information.

The birth chart records information such as the Na Yin, Five Elements, Major Luck Periods, and Annual Luck of the four pillars of the day, hour, month, and year.

By interpreting this information, we can deduce the individual's personality, fate, family background, occupation, and other aspects.

Under Zhao Youliang's tense and expectant gaze, a full fifteen minutes passed before Liao Zhiyuan finally opened his eyes.

"Alright, Quantum Bro!"

"Just do whatever I tell you to do. That should be enough to break the Yinshan Sect's 'Ghost Contract'."

After Liao Zhiyuan finished speaking, he took out a "ruler" and pressed it on the "employment contract" while muttering something under his breath.

"In years of Jia and Ji, Bing is the first; in years of Yi and Geng, Wu is the first; in years of Bing and Xin, Geng must be sought; in years of Ding and Ren, Ren flows smoothly; if you ask where Wu and Gui begin, look for them above Jia Yin..."

After completing the incantation, Liao Zhiyuan immediately said to Zhao Youliang, "Brother Liang, blood from your middle finger!"

"Oh, oh!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang dared not hesitate and immediately took out the scissors given to him by Old Liu and cut his finger.

Liao Zhiyuan reached out and smeared Zhao Youliang's blood onto his finger, then wiped it off at the place where he had signed the "employment contract".

"The Lord's command is not to end; the sea is wide enough for fish to leap freely."

"break!"

A miraculous thing happened: Liao Zhiyuan's hand acted like an eraser, slowly erasing Zhao Youliang's signature without leaving a trace.

Just like that spot, which was originally a blank space.

"Wow, it really works!" Zhao Youliang was overjoyed to see this.

An excited cry from the bottom of my heart: Dad, I can come back to see you and take care of you!

Unfortunately, just as Zhao Youliang's character "量" was only half complete, a sudden change occurred:

Suddenly, a huge fist emerged from the "employment contract" and slammed heavily into Liao Zhiyuan's nose.

Blood splattered instantly.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Liao Zhiyuan, caught off guard, covered his nose and staggered back, crouching on the ground in pain for a long time before he could stand up.

After punching Liao Zhiyuan, the fist began to curse.

That voice belonged to the paper shop owner who had tricked Zhao Youliang into coming here.

"Just stay put, why are you trying to run away?"

"If you try to run away, you'll have to pay me a thousand times the penalty for breach of contract. Do you have any money to burn?"

Amid the curses, a huge fist slammed into Zhao Youliang's big nose again, causing him to bleed profusely and fall flat on his back to the ground.

After beating up Zhao Youliang, "Fist" was clearly still not satisfied.

Grabbing Liao Zhiyuan's hand, he used the blood from Liao's nose to sign his name on the "employment contract".

As a result, not only did Zhao Youliang's name reappear, but Liao Zhiyuan's name was also added to the list.

"Heh heh, serves you right for meddling in other people's business!"

After doing all of the above, the fist disappeared, satisfied, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded immortals.

Huang Yu reacted the fastest and quickly stepped forward to help Zhao Youliang up.

"Quantum, are you alright?!"

Zhao Youliang groaned and said he was fine and that his nose was not broken.

At the same time, he forced himself to endure the pain and asked Liao Zhiyuan, "Little Liao, how are you?!"

Liao Zhiyuan looked at his name on the contract and felt like crying.

"Brother Quantum, it seems this thing is more than just the Yinshan Ghost Contract."

"Now even I can't leave!"

......

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan, these two unfortunate brothers, got up early and opened the door of the paper-making shop according to custom.

Then, listlessly, he and the big yellow dog lay down in front of the shop to dry the eggs.

At this moment, Zhao Youliang felt guilty: "Xiao Liao, I'm sorry, it's my fault for dragging you into this."

Liao Zhiyuan was an optimist, and shook his head indifferently upon hearing this.

"What do you mean by implicating someone? 'Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune.'"

"In the future, a bad thing might turn into a good thing!"

"Oh right, Quantum Bro, since I can't leave anyway, let's go visit Brother Qi Zhigang's house today."

"You said he's a good person, so let's do our best to help him!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Youliang nodded deeply. Just as he was about to say something more, he saw an old man doing his morning exercise running towards him.

Zhao Youliang recognized the old man; he was Qi Zhigang's grandfather.

This refers to the person Liao Zhiyuan told him through "fortune telling" that he should have died long ago.

However, the old man not only didn't die, but actually looked even more energetic.

And her face was beaming with joy, showing no sign of the sadness that her second son was in the hospital being treated.

"Wow, this old man is getting more and more 'mystical'!"

Shinto originally meant the way to the dead.

The Way of the Gods, also known as the Way of Heaven or the Way of Sima, originates from the Book of Changes.

"The Great View is above, yielding and compliant, observing the world with righteousness and impartiality. Observation means washing hands without offering sacrifices, having sincerity and humility, and observing from below to transform. Observing the divine way of Heaven, the four seasons do not err. The sage establishes teachings based on the divine way, and the world submits."

Since the Han Dynasty, the term "spirit path" has also referred to "the path opened in front of the tomb, with stone pillars erected as markers," such as the spirit path of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.

Zhao Youliang's use of "Shendao" is a simplified version of the above meaning, and it is also a Northeastern dialect term.

It means mysterious...
