Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 953 - 382: Remodeling Jia Dao (Part 3)

The Turtle Mountain Taoist, like Xiang Lin, said with grievance: "I am really stupid... really..."

...

The Soul Shepherd City in the mist is still suspended in the air, and over ninety percent of the survivors from Mingjiang Prefecture have flocked here, crowding the four main streets of the Donkey Shed.

Zhou Xuan was three kilometers away at the Bell Tower, gazing at the situation in the Donkey Shed.

On top of the Bell Tower, Pan Mountain Eagle was serving tea to Zhou Xuan. This rooftop was where Pan Mountain Eagle had been working these days after the disaster.

Every day he released eagles to inspect Mingjiang Prefecture, and to dispel boredom, he had set up a tea table, stove, and sofa on the rooftop.

Now these luxuries were being enjoyed by Zhou Xuan.

"This tea is nice, Lao Pan, you know how to enjoy life."

Zhou Xuan praised, swirling the tea.

"As long as the big master enjoys it. But, when will that colorful play start? I’m kind of looking forward to it."

Pan Mountain Eagle had just learned from chatting with Zhou Xuan that the "Soul Shepherd City in the mist" was originally a colorful play arranged by Zhou Xuan, aimed at making the people of Mingjiang Prefecture believe that a divine miracle would descend and those who died would resurrect.

"Wait a little longer, until noon; noon is an auspicious time."

While Zhou Xuan was enjoying the tea, Miss Qiang from the Secret Realm called him, "Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan, it’s ready."

Upon hearing that the minds of Daoists were educated comprehensively, he plunged his consciousness into the Secret Realm.

"Big master, tea is out, should I refill it for you?"

Seeing Zhou Xuan’s cup was empty, Pan Mountain Eagle cautiously asked, but seeing Zhou Xuan unresponsive, like an old monk in meditation, he knew better than to disturb him, and quietly took the cup from Zhou Xuan’s hand, standing by waiting.

...

Upon entering the Secret Realm, Zhou Xuan saw the mind of a Daoist.

Speaking of a Daoist’s mind, it really differs from a normal person’s mind.

Normal minds have deep grooves, but a Daoist’s mind is smooth and the surface color is patchy, both white and black.

When it was first sent into the Secret Realm, Big Child and Third Child thought Zhou Xuan had sent in a football, scrambling to kick it.

Fortunately, these two Red Ginseng children were dissuaded by Miss Qiang, otherwise, with the strength of Big Child and Third Child’s feet, it would’ve been booted to bits.

Now, the Daoist’s mind still has patches of white and black, but the black parts are lighter, and the white parts deeper, both colors tending towards "gray."

Also, the surface of the mind is no longer smooth, now possessing grooves like those of a normal person.

Miss Qiang pointed at the Daoist’s mind floating above the Black Water, and said: "Daoists were originally masters who died in the human world after burning more than seven incense sticks, drawn into the Divine Country by God using Divine Silk."

"The Divine Power in the Divine Country allows the Daoists to be resurrected, also granting them consciousness."

"Since consciousness comes from the Divine Country, under normal circumstances, Daoists will not defy God-level entities, and will be absolutely loyal."

"What about under abnormal circumstances?" Zhou Xuan was particularly concerned about this.

"Engineer used means from the Colorful Play Hall to deceive Divine Country consciousness, embedding an instruction deep within the consciousness to be loyal to Zhou Xuan, even overriding loyalty to Bi Fang."

"Now, this Daoist’s mind is completely at our disposal."

Miss Qiang replied. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"So amazing?"

Zhou Xuan approached the Daoist’s mind and asked: "What is your name?"

"I am called Jia Dao, the first Daoist under Bi Fang."

"Oh, very cooperative." Zhou Xuan praised Miss Qiang and the engineer’s skills: "Your flesh and consciousness modifications are truly impressive."

Zhou Xuan asked again: "Why did Bi Fang send you down?"

"Bi Fang possesses nine golden sticks that predict the progress in the Will Heavenly Book, when six of them shake, it indicates your... time of death has arrived."

"Really? I’m close to death?" Zhou Xuan nearly laughed aloud.

"Exactly because the big master is far from dying, yet the golden sticks perceive your time of death is near, so Bi Fang suspected—the time to act and kill you has arrived, thus he sent me to explore the way."

At this point, Zhou Xuan clapped his hands and said: "Understood, the cause and effect I triggered moved those golden sticks."

The Colorful Play Master can impersonate anyone, but impersonating someone triggers their cause and effect.

Zhou Xuan impersonated Turtle Mountain Daoist, and because of cause and effect, Turtle Mountain Daoist was discovered by Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan had also once impersonated "Bi Fang," simply wanting to use the cause and effect from impersonation to force Bi Fang to descend.

"Turns out, this is how cause and effect works."

The cause and effect between him and Bi Fang created entanglement, stirring the hexagrams.

The hexagrams gave a strong reason for Bi Fang’s descent.

"Not bad, not bad, Jia Dao, communicate with Bi Fang again, stabilize him, do not let him grow suspicious, of course, if you can lure him to descend, that’s the best result—but don’t force it, don’t reveal your identity."

"Big master, Jia Dao understands."

...

"It’s a pity the Donkey Shed has God-level thick fog, my Heavenly Eye is rendered useless, otherwise, I would definitely take a good look at what Jia Dao is up to."

Bi Fang hadn’t received contact from Jia Dao for ages, feeling very anxious.

At this moment, he heard Jia Dao’s voice in his ear.

"Master, Mingjiang has fog, constantly obstructing my Heaven and Earth sensing." Jia Dao spoke with an effeminate tone again to Bi Fang.

Bi Fang always felt the "disconnected and reconnected" Jia Dao was growing increasingly feminine, almost radiating charm.

"I asked you to descend, not to enter the palace..."

Bi Fang forced himself to endure the discomfort and asked: "What hall is Zhou Xuan’s fifth incense building?"
