Hao Ning couldn't help stopping Long Fei as he folded his hands and murmured. “Do you have any dignity? Aren't you one of the Immortals? You bless yourself? You're really hilarious...”
“So, you destroyed all the Immortals of this land?” Of course, Nezha could not hear what Hao Ning and Long Fei said. He couldn't help asking again, “Countless Immortals since thousands of years ago have been eliminated by you?”
“No, no, no, no, not at all.” The man in black waved his hand quickly. “We don't have that power! The Immortals in China have long been destroyed by the emperors of the past dynasties. As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered everybody should be devoted to what he was devoted to. Since then, the belief had been changed from time to time for so many times. G.o.d of Creation had been s.h.i.+fted from Nu Wa to Pan Gu. n.o.body knows what happened on earth during this period. Anyway, we couldn't remember all the changes because there were so many in the past. Alas, the G.o.dslayer Sect in this mainland…was so idle and had few opportunities to make off-the-book money. Otherwise, we should not be so pathetic. Even the Sect mentioned in your book—what Sect does he belong to?”
“Chan Sect.” said another man in black.
“Yes, Chan Sect all Immortals from this Sect will be killed by us, this is the way we feed ourselves!” the man in black said, “People over here believe in so few beliefs. The new policies introduced over the past several hundred years cla.s.sified the Immortals. Those dragons and Immortals from the small temples fell into the lower cla.s.s. Killing them makes no money. So, my brother, we are also in a miserable situation —"
“Cla.s.s... They cla.s.sified Immortals!” said Long Fei in anger, “I belong to a lower cla.s.s. That is why I am so safe! You are so bullying! I will fight for us to my last drop of blood!” As he said, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out. He looked at the yellow light on Nezha's body and hesitated. Then he looked at the others obliquely. All of them looked at him with a sneer and mockery. Then he blushed and said, “Forget it, I, as a great dragon, don't remember minor faults. I'll fight later...”
“Long Fei, don't be depressed...” Hao Ning looked at Long Fei with a grin on his face. He knew why Long Fei was not killed. Long Fei's cla.s.s was too low. He stopped for a long time and wanted to say something to comfort him, “Aren't you good at water tactic? As you know, the highest good is like that of water. The goodness benefits ten thousand creatures. Yet itself does not scramble. That is why water is the best in the world. There are also advantages to be in a low cla.s.s. At least, we are safe.”
“Err…! So shameless—” Nezha found nothing to respond. He thought for a second and sneered, “Since you are all Mr. Fei's men, I guess Mr. Fei won't pay you for killing me!”
“That's not your business. Mr. Fei is too busy to care this kind of minor things,” said another man in black. He shook his head and added, “After killing you, we will restore you to be the fragrance, we have ways to change your ident.i.ty naturally. After all these years in this line, we've done a lot of things. Although we are not so good at this business, we've got a lot of connections. In today's world, no connection means nowhere to go. So, be cool, my buddy.”
“You are so shameless!” Hao Ning was disgusted when he heard them say “no connection means nowhere to go”. He finally decided to talk with Liu Shuai, “Liu Shuai, do you think we need to help Nezha out—or not?”
“I know what you mean. These people are so shameless! They even kill their own kind! It's moral decay, a distortion of human nature!” Liu Shuai nodded and scolded angrily. After scolding, he frowned and said as he looked at Long Fei, “But what can we do about it? They have Immortal Tying Rope — Do you know any magic words or any approach to unlock it?”
“Of course not!” Long Fei answered without thinking, shaking his head like a rattle-drum. “I don't know if theirs has magic words, but the one I bought before has no magic words.”
“Then, why you…?” Hao Ning couldn't help debunking, he had an idea as he was in the middle of the conversation, “Oh, oh, you know what, I have a good idea!”
“What idea?” Liu Shuai, Long Fei and Zhou Yuan immediately gathered together.
“That's the method Zhang Quan used once,” Hao Ning said excitedly, waving his fist. “Did you forget? The Falling Treasure Coin was used to deal with Immortal Tying Rope as we fought against Long Fei?”
“Forget it, man!” When the three heard this, they immediately despised it and dispersed, “At this urgent moment, you just say a useless thing!”
“Hey, what's wrong with you? What I said is not useless!” Hao Ning looked unhappy and said uncommonly, “Zhou Yuan and Long Fei have no idea. Liu Shuai, can't you make a fake Falling Treasure Coin? This is Zhang Quan's proud work. How could he not teach you? ”
“A fake Falling Treasure Coin?” Long Fei listened to him with great interest when he heard what Hao Ning said. “My dear brother, can you do it now?”
“Go away!” Liu Shuai blushed and pushed Long Fei aside, “Don't listen to his nonsense!”
“Well, I'm not talking nonsense.” Hao Ning argued. “What did Zhang Quan say then? The materials of the Falling Treasure Coin are the money we use now. I have just two coins here. Would you like to have a shot?”
After speaking, regardless of the surprise on Zhou Yuan's and Long Fei's faces, he stuffed the coins to Liu Shuai.
“Go away, man! You think I am so cheap!” Liu Shuai scornfully pushed him away, then he looked at Hao Ning and said earnestly, “I really didn't learn how to refine, I haven't learnt much because –” Liu Shuai's eyes flashed. “It is possible to learn the theories in the dream, but in regard to the refinement, an operation is much more important than a theory. How can I learn operations in a dream.”
“Oh,” Hao Ning understood, and said no more, “That's the case.”
“What can we do about it now?” Zhou Yuan looked down at the coins in Hao Ning's hand and thought for a while. He then asked Hao Ning tentatively, “Hao Ning, do you think it is possible to make a fake Falling Treasure Coin just like the one you used to save me by a fake Creation of the G.o.ds last time?”
“F….fake Creation of the G.o.ds?” Long Fei had never heard of these things, and Zhang Quan did not say these things to him, either. His eyes were straight as he heard what Zhou Yuan said. He stammered, “You guys are too bold. You messed up the relations between causes and consequences. Those are the things that are hard to be tolerated by Heaven and h.e.l.l-it's just so exciting!” After saying so, Long Fei immediately changed his expression. He shrugged at Hao Ning and said, “Hao Ning, my dear brother, no, Hao Ning, my dear G.o.d, you are so good. Make one, make one. I can't wait to see a fake one!”
...
Liu Shuai was so close to kicking out this low-cla.s.s dragon.
“Bah!” Hao Ning did not want to argue with this always-quote-line-from Flirting Scholar Drama Queen. He stared at Zhou Yuan and said, “You, don't mess around. It's not so easy to make a fake one. Last time, in order to save you, I almost lost my life when I attempted to use the G.o.d-mighty from the Creation of the G.o.ds! Right —” Hao Ning pointed at Nezha outside of the virtualized reality. “I just had a fight against this buddy! At that time, he borrowed the water from the East Sea. Yes, the whole East Sea water to fight against me! Oh, my G.o.d, there was too much water, I was almost scared to death!”
“Oh, that is terrifying!” After hearing Hao Ning's description, Long Fei looked outside more admiringly at the tied-up Nezha. The men in black were still talking with Nezha, but it was no longer important. Long Fei grabbed Hao Ning's hand and shook excitedly, “Hao Ning, my dear G.o.d, I beg you to save him. He is good at how to use the water tactic. I must learn the skill.”
“f.u.c.k off! He used magic weapons at that time.” Hao Ning felt funny and sighed: Do you know who his Master was? It was Taiyi Immortal. He himself was the third son of Chen Tangguan. He was born in a royal family with a deep background. There were so many magic weapons he could use at any time. On the other hand, the low-cla.s.s dragon like you, even no one in G.o.dslayer Sect was interested in killing you— of course, it hurt when it was spoken out loud. Hao Ning did not speak it out, and he continued to say, “I really can't use the Creation of the G.o.ds anymore. The book is so weird, so I don't even know what happened eventually.”
“If it is just the television series created out of the Creation of the G.o.ds, is it ok? As we know, many directors were p.r.o.ne to fabricate stories. The television works they made from the Creation of the G.o.ds might not be recognized by the author Xu Zhonglin. In addition, these actors have poor acting skills and are not dedicated to their work. The end of the television work may have nothing to do with the original one.” Zhou Yuan understood what Hao Ning said. He came up with another idea, “Now, there are so many remakes of the Creation of the G.o.ds. What we need to do is to find out the episode related to the Falling Treasure Coin, and based on the power in the episode, I think we can make a fake one.”
“Err…” Hao Ning looked at Zhou Yuan. What just he said about the television works was very good. It was true but too sharp, “Zhou Yuan, the fans will trouble you as you told the truth. In addition, n.o.body will watch TV if the actor's performance is too poor. Those sorts of episodes cannot collect fragrance because of the poor performance; so, how can I borrow the G.o.d-mighty?”
What Hao Ning said was reasonable. First of first was that the episodes were able to draw people's attention. He had no way to borrow the G.o.d-mighty from episodes that drew less attention. Less attention meant less G.o.d-mighty. That was why he could only borrow G.o.d-mighty from the works written by some great writers like Mr. Jin.
“No need to worry!” Zhou Yuan clapped his chest and snapped his fingers confidently, “Although the works are not so good, the actors can draw people's attention. That is the guarantee for the viewing rate.”
As Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers, there were many videos with respect to the Creation of the G.o.ds appeared in the virtualized reality. They looked like the projections in the air. Unfortunately, there were so many videos that they couldn't find the one they wanted at once. Zhou Yuan frowned and said, “It seems that I have to use my great tricks. Everybody, look out, I will use my magic power: speed up the search — well, miss you, miss you, miss you — Wingardium Leviosa! Peskipiksi Pesternomi!”
“What the h.e.l.l! What are you saying…” Long Fei exclaimed, “Shouldn't it be all the fighters be energetic and fight for each other?”
“Go to h.e.l.l, your magic words!” Liu Shuai laughed as he looked at the fast-paced video. He said with a smile, “This is the fast-paced video, ok? Zhou Yuan, I am a programmer. The tricks you played in front of me are childish. Shame on you.”
“What you said is bulls.h.i.+t, except fast pace, they are artificial intelligence image recognition and semantic a.n.a.lysis, okay?” Zhou Yuan blushed. He just spoke a causal sentence to make himself more professional, but Liu Shuai exposed his lie. Anyway, they found a few episodes related to the Falling Treasure Coin. Zhou Yuan watched one by one and tried to find the one they needed.
“Well, Zhou Yuan, something's wrong here, “Hao Ning doubted as he looked at Zhou Yuan watching the videos gladly, “I have no clue that there are such detailed videos in my Moments. How can you get these?”
“Well…” Zhou Yuan looked a little bashful, “That day, I had nothing to do, I accidentally entered the Immortal's moments server—”
“Immortal's moments server?” The three asked at the same time.
“Okay, by Moments server,” Zhou Yuan said with a bitter smile. Nothing could be hidden before the three, “I found how to enter the Penguin Video server by the back door…”
“What, you invaded the Penguin's internal system?” Liu Shuai, as a programmer, had knowledge about what Zhou Yuan said, he exclaimed, “You were hacking, what you are doing is doing what you know is wrong!”
“f.u.c.k off.” Zhou Yuan denied as he was busy in searching the videos, “What I did is Moment G.o.d's action. Don't compare what I did with the hacker's? Is the act of G.o.d an invasion? What is an Immortal's action? One Immortal's action is a wave, a drop of tear, a legend of Immortal, leaving only—”
“Leave only the elegance of Immortal, the legend of Immortal. Stop! You are singing a song now!” Hao Ning was amused by this Moment G.o.d. What Zhou Yuan sang was the theme song of the first Chinese television work— the Creation of the G.o.ds. The television work was made decades ago, but he could still remember the song. Uncommon as it was, the song was quite appropriate as Nezha was over here. Zhou Yuan's song showed that it was not a waste of time for Zhou Yuan to watch the cla.s.sic works like Journey to the West.
“I found it!” He did not stop his work as he chatted with Hao Ning. It took a few minutes to find what they needed in the video. “That is the one we want. The Falling Treasure Coin is very obvious. Hao Ning, the next move is up to you now!”
Zhou Yuan put his hand on Hao Ning's forehand. He looked at Hao Ning and said reluctantly, “Lend Me Your Mana.”
“Hey, Zhou Yuan, your Mana is a little weak, I feel that your legs turn to jelly.” Hao Ning smiled at Zhou Yuan badly, “Did you touch yourself too much recently? Being in the blues now?”
Zhou Yuan quickly responded with blushed faced, “Nonsense! I have stayed with Zhang Chi for the whole day. I am just a little exhausted!”
“Oh! That's it!” Long Fei and Liu Shuai stared at him with wide eyes, “You two, are gays?”
“Bulls.h.i.+t, it does not look like what you think about!” Zhou Yuan knew what they were thinking about when he looked at Long Fei's and Liu Shuai's eyes. He was exhausted because he learnt Taoism with Zhang Chi in the day. The expressions on the faces of the two showed that they thought something dirty. Zhou Yuan did not want to explain more about this. He asked Hao Ning to hurry, “Don't talk nonsense and hurry up!”
“Stellar Transposition!” Hao Ning was glad to hold the two coins in his one hand, and the other hand pretended to touch the video Zhou Yuan already found. A flash of lightning pa.s.sed. The video clip started to shake violently. The color of the video changed as if the video tried to survive badly. After a few minutes later, there was a crack in the middle of the video. The crack grew bigger and bigger. Finally, two videos appeared half of the size of the original one. The two videos grew bigger and bigger to be the same size as the original one. One of the two videos pa.s.sed through Hao Ning's hand, entering one coin in the other hand. The coin trembled and emitted an unusual red light, and then turned into a golden light. After three alternations between the red and golden lights, the coin became two common coins.
“Oh, my G.o.d, you are so great, Hao Ning. One video became two videos.” Liu Shuai watched the whole process of how one video pa.s.sed through the coin. He said with his thumb up, “You are better and better now. You made the video mitosis! You are the Songzi Guanyin in the video Moments.”
“Go to h.e.l.l, your mitosis!” Cold sweat appeared on his head as he heard Hao Ning. Mitosis was a way of reproduction of lower biological cells. It was a simple change from one to two and from two to four. Biology was Liu Shuai's major in the university, so he could a.s.sociate the process with mitosis. Anyway, the process was quite like mitosis. Hao Ning stopped himself to say more about it. He asked directly, “So, what can we do now? Who will throw this Falling Treasure Coin out? How can we save Nezha?”
“Of course, it is—” Long Fei looked at the men in black while he was talking. He exclaimed in a sudden, “f.u.c.k, what's that in their hands?”
Lingyu's words: the explanation to G.o.d of Creation mentioned by the man in black: It is said that the initial G.o.d of Creation in Chinese Tales of Legend is Nu Wa, and then it is changed to be Pan Gu. It is probably because of the transformation from the matriarchal clan to the patriarchal clan.
The sentence Gao Ning mocked Long Fei: The highest good is like that of water. The goodness of is that it benefits the ten thousand creatures. Yet itself does not scramble. It is from Dao De Jing, the Cla.s.sic of the Virtue of the Tao: The highest good is like that of water. The goodness benefits the ten thousand creatures. Yet itself does not scramble. In each case, it is because they prefer what does not lead to strife, and therefore does not go amiss. The sentences used in the dialogue was to reflect Hao Ning's personality who always teased Long Fei by patchworks.
