City of the Heavens System

Chapter 9 Cause and Effect

"Please pay attention to the host! Please pay attention to the host! Because the host changed the plot, the system now releases a causal task: to end the cause and effect with the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu, and reward the host with survival points depending on the actual completion of the host."

"Huh? What do you mean, and the saying that it depends on the situation?" Xie Yan asked puzzled.

"That's right. It depends on what method the host adopts to end this cause and effect." The system replied.

"Isn't this about letting yourself play freely?!" Xie Yan complained.Then he asked: "System, what is the explanation for this cause and effect?"

"All fruits originate from causes, and all retributions originate from karma..." Before the system finished speaking, Xie Yan hurriedly said with a headache: "Stop! Talk to people!"

The system paused subtly, and then said: "The natural world has a balance of nature, which cannot be destroyed by manpower. Similarly, as a human being, there is also a human balance point, which cannot be destroyed casually. There are only two situations It can be changed, one is that the host's own cultivation is strong enough to a certain level, and he can change his fate against the sky;

The second is to use fate to break the cause, so as to obtain different results.But no matter what, the final result will be borne by the host. "

"It doesn't matter. Cultivation is a process against the sky anyway. Since you have embarked on the road of cultivation, you should be fearless. Otherwise, you will practice a fart! As for breaking the cause with fate, this is a bit interesting. I guess It was I who destroyed the relationship between Qiusheng and Dong Xiaoyu, thus destroying their fruit." After thinking about it carefully, Xie Yan roughly understood the theory of cause and effect.

But then, Xie Yan realized another problem, "If I stay in Yizhuang, the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu probably won't dare to come. No, it seems that I have to make a trip by myself." Thinking of this, he also Without disturbing Uncle Jiu, he got up and went out quietly, then walked towards the forest in the movie.

When he came to the woods, Xie Yan saw the emptiness around him, so he casually sat down against a tree.

Just when Xie Yan was about to fall asleep, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from beside her ear,

"My son, my son?"

Xie Yan woke up suddenly, looked up, and saw a beautiful woman bending down and looking at him.However, she herself didn't realize how weird it was for a single woman to suddenly appear in the woods in the middle of the night.Fortunately, Xie Yan, who had been prepared for a long time, was not frightened by the scene in front of him.

Instead, he looked at Dong Xiaoyu carefully.

I saw that she was wearing a bright red cheongsam, just like a married bride. The breeze blew, and the corners of her skirt danced lightly. It is strung on the bun and holds a red handkerchief in his hand, giving people a sense of elegance and refinement.

Xie Yan stared at her in a daze, and Dong Xiaoyu also looked at him affectionately.

But only for a while, Xie Yan came back to his senses, and immediately became alert, because he suddenly thought of Dong Xiaoyu showing his original shape, and couldn't bear to look directly at her.

Of course, it’s not easy to dismantle it directly, just deal with it first: "Sorry, girl, you are so beautiful, so I forgot to talk for a while." Seeing Dong Xiaoyu's sudden shyness, he quickly continued: "You are a girl at midnight. It's dangerous to be outside, what about your family?"

"This road is the only way I have to go home. I didn't expect to be so busy today. Besides, my family has gone to the provincial capital. I will come back after a while." Dong Xiaoyu explained, and then asked Xie Yan: "I don't know if you have time, my lord. It's so dark that I dare not go home alone. I send the little girl home. The little girl is very grateful."

Xie Yan was shocked, my God, so straightforward!If I hadn't known that you wouldn't harm others, I wouldn't have dared to answer your words.Thinking of this, he said to Dong Xiaoyu: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Hearing that Xie Yan agreed to take her home, Dong Xiaoyu immediately became happy, and quickly took Xie Yan home.

After a while, the two arrived.That's right, Dong Xiaoyu is a ghost, and she is floating when she walks, the key is that she hasn't realized it yet; Xie Yan is a cultivator, and her physical fitness is not human, so the journey that should have taken half an hour took 5 minutes.

Xie Yan saw the tall courtyard in front of him, and admired: "This female ghost's 'ghost covering eyes' spell is really good. You must know that this land was originally ruins, but now, it's a whole two-story building."

Then Dong Xiaoyu led Xie Yan to her boudoir, poured him a cup, and then went to change clothes.

Xie Yan didn't dare to drink this cup of tea. This cup of tea was "disorientation tea". If he drank it, he would lose his mind immediately. He didn't come here to sacrifice himself. (Believe it or not, I do anyway.)

After a while, Dong Xiaoyu came out after changing her clothes. Xie Yan saw that she was about to have a nosebleed, and realized that if there was no showdown, she would really have to add drama.He hurriedly said: "Girl, please sit down first, I have something to say to you." Dong Xiaoyu sat down next to him when he heard that, then looked at Xie Yan suspiciously and said: "What do you want, Master? Xiaoyu will definitely do it."

"Hey, Erdi Shenle, don't act like you will never resist, okay! This old monk can hardly bear it! No, I am a cultivator, and I should be a poor Taoist. I can hardly bear it anymore." Xie Yan Speechless.

Then, under Dong Xiaoyu's affectionate gaze, she made up her mind and said, "Girl, I actually know your real identity." Dong Xiaoyu, who was looking at Xie Yan, suddenly changed his face, and then said, "I'm just an ordinary girl. People were born, how can they have any identity."

"Xiaoyu..." Xie Yan suddenly called out Dong Xiaoyu's name, and Dong Xiaoyu immediately stood up and said sharply, "How do you know my name?"

Xie Yan looked up at her calmly and said, "Xiaoyu, I actually know that you are not a human, but a ghost!"

"Enough! Stop talking!" Dong Xiaoyu screamed in horror when she heard this.

Xie Yan was worried that she would run away, after all, she would be invisible in the movie, so he quickly stood up and held her hand, and then said softly: "Calm down! Don't you want to know why I am willing to go home with you even though I know you are a ghost? "

In an instant, Dong Xiaoyu, who was about to explode, immediately became quiet, and said in a low voice: "I never thought of harming you, why did you treat me like this?"

Seeing that she had calmed down, Xie Yan first pulled her to sit down, and then said in a gentle tone: "When I offered you incense that day, I was already aware of your existence. I know you will not harm anyone, so today I actually waited for you in the woods at night."

Dong Xiaoyu didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, Xie Yan also continued: "Actually, I am a Taoist, that is, a Taoist priest as you know, don't get excited!" Seeing Dong Xiaoyu struggling, Xie Yan said quickly: " I waited for you on purpose, just to tell you that I hope you can be reincarnated, after all, if I really meet someone who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong and directly kills you, I will also be sad."

Although Dong Xiaoyu is a ghost, the time she lived in was relatively conservative about the relationship between men and women.Where have I heard such blatant words.So after hearing Xie Yan's words, she took advantage of the situation and snuggled into Xie Yan's arms.Xie Yan was taken aback, "What's the situation, I'm still comforting you, did I say something that shouldn't be said!?" Of course I thought so in my heart, but I still let her lie in my arms without moving.

"You should know that people and ghosts cannot be together, not to mention that I am still a Taoist priest. If we are really together, we will only harm each other. If you really treat me well, there is only one thing you can do now!"

Hearing this, Dong Xiaoyu, who was originally full of despair, thought that things would turn around, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?!"

"It's reincarnation." Seeing Dong Xiaoyu's eyes dimming gradually, he continued: "If you and I are destined, we will meet each other in the next life. Go."

After hearing Xie Yan's words, Dong Xiaoyu looked at him.He didn't speak but nodded slightly.However, her eyes were already blurred, and tears rolled down her face like pearls, and she turned around and flew away.

Originally holding Xie Yan who had completed the task at the beginning, he was a little disappointed and also a little moved. After all, such pure feelings are rare in reality. "Is this the love of those three sticks of incense? They can do this." Xie Yan sighed.

Immediately a gust of wind blew into the house, and the whole room was immediately filled with dust. Xie Yanyan had to close his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found that the originally clean and tidy boudoir had now become an abandoned house full of cobwebs .It turned out that after Xiaoyu left, the spell of the ghost covering the eyes became invalid.The system's voice sounded at the right time: "The causal mission is completed! Since the host did not take any coercive measures, an extra 200 survival points will be rewarded, for a total of 500 survival points."

"Huh? Solve it by force? What do you mean? Does the system encourage people to be kind?" Xie Yan asked suspiciously.

"Kindness comes from good results. Karma, good and evil have a huge impact on the improvement of the host's own realm and merit-based exercises. Therefore, when the host completes the causal task in a suitable way, there will be additional survival point rewards."

"So that's how it is." Xie Yan expressed his understanding, and then asked the system suspiciously: "Then what if we encounter those stubborn evil spirits in the future?"

"Please rest assured, the host, the system will judge the final completion of the task based on the actual situation."

"That's good!" Xie Yan thought in his heart, fortunately the system is more flexible, otherwise triggering this kind of mission in the future would not be worth the loss.

Xie Yan went outside the house, looked at the sky, guessed it would be around four o'clock in the morning, and hurried to Yizhuang.If Uncle Jiu saw it, he would inevitably have to explain it again.

After returning to Yizhuang, I went to the mortuary to take a look, and found that, as expected, the coffin lid containing Mrs. Ren had obviously been moved.This is because when the zombie pushed the coffin lid away with his hand, it was suppressed by the ink fountain thread that bounced on it.

After realizing that it is better to follow the development of the plot in the movie, Xie Yan is no longer worried about any accidents caused by changing the plot.Of course, he would not remind Uncle Jiu, although he respected Uncle Jiu, he would not rush to do things that were not beneficial, so he went straight back to his room to rest.
