When morality is lost, look for it in the Tao

  When returning to morality (below)

  A raging fire was burning in Liu Zhi's heart, and the other party obviously wanted his life. He thought of the last time in the Tiankeng, where someone also wanted his life, and a killing intent unconsciously emerged, even more terrifying than the cold winter. Unfortunately, at this time, there were not many people on the street, nor was anyone by Liu Zhi's side, so no one felt Liu Zhi's dominance.

  The truck was not overloaded, only about 2-3 tons, not one of those heavy-duty trucks. The car flipped over and crashed into the green isolation belt on the highway. The scene was extremely tragic. The entire windshield shattered into tiny pieces scattered everywhere. Half of the front of the car had crashed into the green belt and was deformed. There were bloodstains on the window, one person was apparently unconscious, another person was desperately trying to crawl out but unfortunately their leg was trapped by the deformed driver's compartment.

  When he saw Liu Zhi come, he forgot that he wanted Liu Zhi's life just now. However, when a person can keep his own life safe, most things can be done.

  "Help!" The man shouted to Liu Zhi, but his voice wasn't too loud, apparently he was seriously injured.

  Liu Zhi saw that his leg was stuck and couldn't help but reveal a cold smile, walking to his side and squatting down: "Who sent you to kill me?"

  "No one is driving, the car is out of control, accident, save me!" The man's face changed color, and his pain made him look even more miserable.

  "Really? It seems like the oil tank is leaking. You think if I'm not careful and light a cigarette, which ignites the gasoline, what will happen?" Liu Zhi didn't know that he wasn't an idiot. On that day when he studied hypnosis, he had put in some effort into psychology, and it wasn't just pure theory, but actual practice. At a glance, he could see the panic in his opponent's eyes, knowing that he was bluffing, so he directly intimidated him.

  "You can't do this!" The other person's face was filled with terror.

  "Why can't I? You come to kill me, I'll set a fire, will it save you? Am I an idiot!" Liu Zhi knew again with a cold laugh, his tone colder than the current temperature.

  If the other party was not in a desperate situation and could think rationally, they would not have taken Liu Zhi's threat to heart. This is on the main street of Shencheng, Liu Zhi cannot really set fire, but the other party is now at a critical juncture, where is there still any rational thinking? Liu Zhi's words made him lose his soul.

  "I'm telling you, you have to save me!" The other person was extremely frightened, and not many people can calmly face life and death. This person was obviously the same, his body was already trembling, and his face was even more pale.

  "You tell me, I'll save you, what I want to find is the one behind the scenes!" Liu Zhi said calmly.

  "He is a boss with the surname Lán, I don't know his name, others call him Boss Lán!" he said.

  "Is he a native of Suzhou?" The surname Lán is relatively rare, and Liú Zhìzhī immediately thought of the connection with his stepmother Lán Yí. It's highly likely that it's his nominal uncle Lán Mǐnsōng. He asked again about his appearance, and in all likelihood, it was indeed Lán Mǐnsōng.

  Liu Zhi knew had a headache, he didn't like his stepmother much, but no matter what, she was an elder in his family, and Lan Minsong was also his uncle. Liu Zhi could be ruthless to outsiders, but when it came to his own family members, he couldn't bring himself to be too harsh. After all, he wasn't someone who could kill without batting an eye, even if Lan Minsong had a way of asking for death.

  After some deliberation, he decided to let the police handle this matter. He took out his mobile phone and dialed 110 to report the incident, stating that someone was trying to murder him and as a result, got into an accident. His intention in reporting the incident was not primarily about the accident, but rather to get the police involved.

  It was not necessary for Liu Zhi to report the incident, as a passerby had already done so. After Liu Zhi reported it, the police car arrived shortly after, along with an ambulance. Seeing Liu Zhi there, they briefly asked about the situation and were busy cutting open the car to rescue people. When Liu Zhi said that the other party had intentionally tried to kill someone, they realized the severity of the situation and asked the unfortunate driver again. The driver would not deny it, but rescuing people was the priority. They also took a statement from Liu Zhi and told him to go back first.

  Liu Zhi Zhī returned home, thinking about how to resolve the matter in his mind. After a while, he felt it was not easy to handle and decided to meditate instead. Today, he had been injured a bit, and originally planned to use hypnosis directly. However, there were two reasons: first, he himself was injured; second, the other party was in an extremely emotional state. Liu Zhi Zhī did not have confidence that he could successfully hypnotize him. Fortunately, it turned out that hypnosis was not needed, as the other party had already confessed.

  What Liu Zhi didn't know was that the scene on the street had also been seen by Lan Miansong. Originally, Huang Weiguo's intention was only to teach Liu Zhi a lesson and did not want his life. Although Huang Weiguo was arrogant, he also knew what was at stake. The grudge between him and Liu Zhi was nothing more than some resentment, not a deep-seated hatred. A good scolding would have been enough, but unexpectedly, Lan Miansong took the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

  Lan Ming Song did not expect that Liu Zhi Zhi's luck would be so good, he didn't know that it wasn't Liu Zhi Zhi's luck, but rather his ability. He was worried about the two little hooligans, and when he saw them stealing someone else's truck, he felt a sense of relief. But then they got into an accident, and the car flipped over, making it difficult to investigate. Who knew that Liu Zhi Zhi would be so lucky? The two were taken to the hospital by the police, if they were caught by the police, Lan Ming Song would be in trouble, thinking about this made him feel afraid.

  Lan Ming-song hastily called Huang Weiguo: "Huang Shao, something's gone wrong!"

  "What's up?" Huang Weiguo had just come out of the restaurant.

  "I asked two little rascals to teach Liu Zhi a lesson, but who would have thought that these two stole a cargo truck and tried to swindle Liu Zhi. Unexpectedly, they didn't even hit Liu Zhi, but instead got into an accident themselves. One of them seems to be in a coma, and the other is seriously injured. They were sent to the hospital by the police. I'm afraid they'll spill the beans!" Lan Mingsong said anxiously.

  "You can't even handle small matters properly! Don't have any ulterior motives!" Huang Weiguo also became suspicious.

  "Huang Shao, how dare I? It was those two little rascals who took matters into their own hands!" Lan Min's heart tightened and he immediately shifted the blame.

  "Alright, no need to say more, I'll handle it!" Huang Weiguo hung up the phone with a less-than-pleased expression and turned around to instruct a follower: "Call Shencheng's Public Security Bureau and ask Uncle Hua for help!"

  This attendant took out his mobile phone to make a call, and Huang Weiguo turned back to another attendant and said: "You go and find out which hospital those two little rascals are in, think of a way to get them not to talk nonsense, otherwise, although I'm not afraid, it's still some trouble!"

  The attendant responded and was about to turn around when Abbot Jing Da interrupted, "Just find out which hospital they're in and what room, I'll take care of the rest!"

  "Master, you're going to take action yourself?!" Huang Weiguo exclaimed with surprise. Neng Jing had special abilities that he had witnessed before. As one of the founding pioneers, he knew more secrets than others. Having seen Neng Jing's demonstration once, especially after Lai Jixue took pictures of the magical instrument last time, it left a great impression on him and made him treat Neng Jing even better. However, he never made any requests, which showed that Huang Weiguo was not an incompetent person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control such a large industry.

  The monk nodded and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back!"

  Liu Zhi Zhī naturally didn't understand this move and returned home to sit quietly and adjust his body.

  The Armed Police 120 Hospital had a big incident, the two suspects who got into the car accident died at night, their eyes wide open with terror, and the temperature in the ward was very low, with a layer of frost even appearing on some metal objects. This matter was not publicized but shocked the special department.

  Duan Chengxin, Zhou Dajiang and Yan Bing were in the conference room, where a projector was displaying photos and other materials. When the projector stopped, Duan Chengxin asked Zhou Dajiang: "Dajiang, what do you think about this?"

  "It goes without saying that this is a case of sorcery murder. From the information just now, it seems to be about using some kind of dark entity or spirit to kill people!" Zhou Daqiang said with certainty.

  "Whose doing is this? Is it Liu Zhizhi, Huang Weiguo's man, or someone else?" asked Duan Chengxin.

  "It shouldn't be Liu Zhi's doing, judging from his behavior. Liu Zhi has already reported the attempted car accident murder to the police and had no reason to take matters into his own hands, even hoping for the police to intervene and find out who was behind it. But Huang Weiguo is a possibility, killing someone to silence them, and Huang Weiguo also arranged for someone to quietly settle the matter in private. Who among Huang's people would have such skills?" Zhou Daqiang said.

  Duan Chengxin exchanged a glance with others and said: "Can you purify the Great Monk?"

  "I don't know if he knows any martial arts, but as a monk, it's possible that he has come into contact with this aspect. However, how can a monk practice such an unorthodox and heretical way?" Zhou Daqiang was somewhat perplexed.

  "You didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought of it. Now that you mention it, I remember something. A friend of mine is a lecturer at Shencheng Medical College and he told me about an incident recently. After they finished dissecting the corpses for teaching purposes, they would cremate them the next day. But several times, they found that the skulls were missing! It seems someone is using these to practice evil arts!" Huang Chunsheng interrupted.

  "Is this true?" Duan Chengxin was shocked, "Huang Chunsheng, you go and investigate this matter thoroughly. Ji Dongsheng, send someone to monitor that monk, Jian Neng."

  "Should we monitor Ryu Ji-kwang?" Yeon-ice asked.

  "No need, wait for him to return to Qiannan, he will either be a combat trainer hired by the special police or let the special police base report regularly!" Duan Chengxin said.

  After a few days of rest, Liu Zhi knew was restored to his original state. Today is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day when people send off the Kitchen God according to folk customs. It's also known as sending the Kitchen God to heaven. Folk customs vary from place to place, but in Shencheng and Jiangnan, they share a similar custom: a bowl of glutinous rice with some dishes on top, so that the mouth of the Kitchen God is stuck and he can't speak ill when he goes up to heaven. As the saying goes, "good words spoken in heaven bring peace on earth".

  The day of sending the stove, Shencheng is also called Xiaonian. From this day on, it really enters the New Year. Liu Zhi also goes to his parents' house for dinner, after all, it's a day for family reunion.

  At a little past nine in the morning, Liu Zhizhi arrived at Liu Chuanyi's villa. Everyone was home. What surprised Liu Zhizhi was that Lan Mingsong was also there. It turned out that Lan Mingsong had dinner at his sister's husband's house today and would return to Gusu tomorrow. He could be considered as paying a New Year's visit to his sister and brother-in-law in advance, and then it would be after the New Year when he came again.

  Lan Mengsong's face was somewhat unnatural when he saw Liu Zhizhi, and in the past, Liu Zhizhi might have ignored him. Now, however, Liu Zhizhi paid close attention to him, and from his behavior, Liu Zhizhi felt a chill in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

  Liu Zhi Zhi greeted his parents and then chatted with his younger brother and sister, appearing harmonious on the surface. After a while, he saw Lan Min Song come out of the door and sit in the corridor to bask in the sun. Liu Zhi Zhi sneered inwardly, also picked up a cup of tea, walked out, greeted Lan Min Song, and casually sat down next to him, striking up a conversation.

  "Come to think of it, I should be calling you uncle, but in reality, you don't even deserve that title!" Liu Zhi said calmly, as if chatting with family.

  "You're wrong, Zhi, no matter what, I'm still your elder!" Lan Ming Song said with a bit of fear in his eyes as he looked at Liu Zhi.

  "Is that so? Don't tell me you had nothing to do with the car accident that night! I also know some people in the public security bureau, and I've heard some things. I've been practicing martial arts since I was young, and I have some skills. I can still take down someone and leave them paralyzed. Uncle is an outsider, don't spend the rest of your life lying in bed!" Liu Zhi's words were calm, but the teacup in his hand suddenly shattered with a loud crash. The tea water splashed onto Lan Min's face, and it was scalding hot. But Liu Zhi didn't flinch at all - as a martial artist who had reached a high level of internal power, he wasn't affected by the hot water. However, Lan Min almost let out a cry.

  Lan Ming Song did not call out, his face completely changed color, he originally had a guilty conscience, was exposed by Liu Zhi Zhi, plus Liu Zhi Zhi's intimidation, can be said to have lost his mind in an instant.

  "What's going on?" asked Lan Zhan inside the room.

  "Nothing's wrong, it's just that the temperature difference is too great and the teacup shattered! Aunt Lan!" Liu Zhi replied loudly.

  "Peaceful and safe every year!" Lan Minzhu said a auspicious phrase, then asked: "Were you scalded?"

  "No, thank you Aunt Lan!" Liu Zhi replied, while Lan Min's face turned red and white.

  The whole Spring Festival, the Liu family seemed harmonious and peaceful, with some undercurrents unknowingly covered up. Liu Zhi had warned Lan Min Song, which was also a fulfillment of his duty as a junior. If anything else happened, Liu Zhi would have no psychological burden.

  During the entire Spring Festival, Liu Zhi didn't stay at Liu Chuan's villa, but instead stayed in his own villa. However, he had meals at Liu Chuan's place. He Shu also returned home for a family reunion during the Spring Festival. Before the festival, after the small New Year, Liu Zhi practiced his skills and read more books. Liu Xing left behind a large number of books, including Taoist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, and medical books. There were many collections, including divination and fortune-telling. Liu Zhi didn't read too much, only two books: "Huangdi Neijing" and "Zhou Yi". "Huangdi Neijing" was easier to understand, clearly explaining the changes of yin and yang and the five elements in the human body. "Zhou Yi" was more difficult to comprehend, although he recognized all the characters, it was hard to understand. Liu Zhi roughly read through "Zhou Yi", then carefully read the first ten wings, and finally found some feeling.

  After New Year's Day, Liu Zhi Zhi gave a New Year's greeting to Sun Lao, Liu Zhi Zhi and Lai Ji Xue, and also made some phone calls to classmates and friends to wish them a happy new year. Generally speaking, he was not too busy.

  The Spring Festival passed quickly, and Liu Zhi didn't even make it to the 10th day before returning to Ma Family Village Elementary School. He also paid a New Year's visit to Principal Du and his wife. In the following days, however, Liu Zhi built an earthen altar on the mountain, according to the information Shaoyan had passed on to him that day. He was preparing to capture a micro-white cave, refine a storage device, which is the simplest type of storage device, but still requires a certain ceremony. The so-called "capture" is actually using spiritual power to sense and attract. If the cultivator's divine consciousness cannot leave their body, they will not be able to sense it, and even if they are lucky enough to succeed, it would be purely due to luck.

  Liu Zhi knew that the soil altar was set up, and after reciting the mantras of "Jing Tian Di Jing Fa Jie" and other spells, he performed the Yu Bu ritual with his feet, drawing in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Fortunately, Liu Zhi had already entered the door of cultivation, so as he performed the Yu Bu ritual, the spiritual energy naturally drew in. If it were someone else, even if they did this, it wouldn't necessarily be effective. Then, Liu Zhi sat cross-legged on the soil altar, with two small leather pouches placed beside him - those two snake skin pouches. Liu Zhi planned to use these as a foundation to refine an all-purpose bag. Generally, storage bags are refined using animal hides; if it's the hide of a demonic beast, that's even better. The two pouches used by Liu Zhi were made from python skin, which couldn't be considered demonic but was close enough, so he would use them as a foundation to refine his storage bag.

  Liu Zhi knew that from the six wine gourds given to him by Shao Yan, combined with some information in his mind, he had been thinking about how to refine a storage device. After all, if you are walking outside, carrying a large package is very inconvenient, let alone having many things that cannot be exposed for the time being but can be used sometimes, such as the compass from Li Yi and his own sharp knife. At the station, the sharp knife was completely a controlled knife, which made Liu Zhi knew very uncomfortable. Liu Zhi really wanted to have a legendary storage bag. Although the gourd sold by Shao Yan was a storage device, it was a bit strange to carry a gourd on his body, not to mention that there was still wine inside.

  Six gourds are a tutorial, Shao Yan's six gourds are not the same, with capacities ranging from small to large. The largest gourd has the smallest capacity, only twice that of the gourd itself. The smallest gourd is only as big as a palm, but it can hold 100 kilograms of wine. Liu Zhi knew the secrets of the array and had long memorized them in his heart through quiet contemplation with his spiritual sense.

  Ling force and spiritual power formed a peculiar array, constructing a three-dimensional capture array on the altar. Liu Zhi's spiritual tentacles keenly captured that almost negligible unique and extremely minute fluctuation, which was something almost smaller than molecules, and could be categorized as particles in modern physics. However, Liu Zhi felt that it was different. In his usual calm state, he wouldn't notice it, nor would it be possible for him to notice. Many phenomena, speaking of the mysterious, have a direct relationship with human consciousness, just like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in modern quantum theory, where the observer's observation has disrupted the material movement rule itself. Because the means used by the observer, such as using light to observe, are themselves micro-particles. To make an inaccurate analogy, it's like throwing a drop of water into a pot of boiling oil - the oil pot is definitely different from before. Therefore, quantum mechanics ultimately resorts to probability statistics, and the obtained rules have actually deviated from the material rule itself. Liu Zhi also participated in this, but his method was a kind of spiritual power that directly sensed, which can be considered direct observation compared to modern science. Modern scientific observation is done through instruments, with errors accumulating. Liu Zhi's method could see the essence of the rules more clearly, but it cannot be popularized. Reaching Liu Zhi's level would be extremely rare, even among the entire human race.

  Liu Zhi knew that this was a completely different feeling, touching these particle-like things, which were actually micro white holes, a special kind of spacetime singularity. It felt like entering another world, where everything was just a wave, or rather, there was no matter at all. The word "wave" didn't even do it justice, it was a completely formless field-like existence. When different waves met, they often gave rise to a converging energy point, which would then disappear in an instant, born and dead in the same moment. A sentence from the Zhuangzi popped into Liu Zhi's mind: "This is indeed a strange and wondrous existence that has not yet taken form." Liu Zhi understood why Shao Yan had used this as the basis for his data on refining storage bags - it was a naturally occurring miniature space.

  Liu Zhi knew according to his own understanding of the formation, using his divine consciousness to drive these existences that even modern microscopes cannot see, constructing a certain structure in space. After nearly six hours, Liu Zhi felt like he couldn't hold on anymore, and finally took shape. In an instant, Liu Zhi felt that these numerous tiny existences formed a kind of invisible effect between each other, like a spider web, forming a small spherical space. Liu Zhi's consciousness entered the sphere, and with a loud bang, the space inside reached 81 cubic meters. However, in the blink of an eye, it shrank again, rapidly shrinking until finally stabilizing at nine cubic meters.

  Liu Zhi didn't smile wryly, knowing that his skills were too poor. If he had enough skill, he could really stabilize at eighty-one cubic meters, not the current one-ninth. However, this was currently his greatest ability.

  Liu Zhi Zhi combined this structure with the python skin bag under spiritual drive, and a storage bag was refined. However, taking things out can only be done with spiritual consciousness, ordinary people are fundamentally impossible to do so, as their consciousness cannot penetrate inside. This space is very peculiar, mainly relying on gravity in real space, but inside it's actually a repulsive force. This makes sense, as white holes and black holes are opposite, black holes being attractive, while white holes naturally repel. Objects placed inside will naturally float within the space.

  Looking at this women's bag, Liu Zhi knew smiled. After a night of hard work, he should be able to give Ali a surprise!
