Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 3 Enlightenment
And on the other side,
After the dream, He Bo looked at the yellow bar that had dropped a little, and thought to himself, "It really is something similar to a law, but my golden finger is too simple. There is no reminder at all, so I have to figure it out on my own."

But what else can He Bo say?
It’s better to have a cheat code than nothing!
"The green one is similar to level or proficiency. Anyway, it is related to control, strength, and level."

"The yellow one is mana..."

"So the function of my golden finger is indeed from the Shinto style."

Thinking of the various online novels he had read when he was still a human, He Bo pondered, "It's just that this function is much more domineering than the so-called incense-becoming-a-god flow. There is no need for people to offer sacrifices. Just wait for the green bar to slowly advance, and you can control the mountains and rivers, and it also comes with corresponding magic power."

Moreover, although there were not too many prompts, like a system telling He Bo what to do, on the other hand, there were not too many restrictions on He Bo.

For example, the "dream" just now was just an idea in He Bo's mind, and he did it with a flip of his hand.

It's just a pity that the art of entrusting dreams is ethereal and difficult to manifest directly in front of people, and it can't be entrusted to too many people at once. No matter whether He Bo splits his mind to sneak into other people's dreams, or pulls a large group of people into his specially created illusion, as long as the number of people exceeds a certain number, even if the yellow bar has not reached the bottom, the dream will continue to fluctuate and may be broken -

Regarding this point, He Bo had a feeling that he would be able to make a breakthrough after becoming proficient in it.

Even the feelings of the person in the dream can become more real as the dream-telling becomes more proficient.

"Just now, Doctor Simon was not afraid of a giant like me. It shows that there are indeed many shortcomings when using it for the first time."

In addition to sending dreams, He Bo also tried to create a body for himself so that he could feel the joy of being a human being.

But it might be that he did not have enough mana, or he had no experience in creating characters, or his level was too low to have the authority... Anyway, no matter what He Bo thought, no matter how much mana Huang Bar had, he could not get any results.

"Maybe instead of pursuing the true body, using a sleight of hand would be fine?"

Without a real body to use, He Bo had to settle for the next best thing, which was to just go out and walk around the human world and feel the scenery there.

China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a unique experience to visit.

If this world is a place where one can practice cultivation, perhaps one could still find clues about the so-called cultivators.

"The sleight of hand sounds too ordinary, but it is really useful in practice..."

"But you can't chew more than you chew. Although this mana can be restored by itself, it can't be wasted casually."

After all, this cheat code is too crude. The green progress bar will only show specific values after it exceeds 90%, not to mention the yellow mana bar.

He Bo decided to first master the art of sending dreams, and then try to use sleight of hand to blend into the human world.

Then, he turned his gaze from above the Zhang River to the city of Ye County again.

In the city,

Because it's late at night,

Most people had fallen asleep, only a few were still tossing and turning.

These people were all local gentry and wealthy people who had colluded with witches to exploit the villagers of Ye County.

After being set on fire by Ximen Bao, the wealthy gentry came to their senses and gathered together to discuss how to settle the matter.

In defrauding villagers of their money,

They are very courageous.
But when faced with the Ye Ling, who had guards and was appointed by the king, they could not help but shrink back.

First, in today's chaotic times, only those who have soldiers in their hands can stand up straight. These people are neither wealthy merchants who are as rich as a country, nor do they have the courage of the up-and-coming star Lu Buwei to "make a living by selling rare goods". They are just small gentry entrenched in Ye.

However, in today's world, the princes are fighting for hegemony, power is not centralized enough, and the people are not enlightened, which allows them to do such things in the local area.

Secondly, the villagers have suffered from the "He Bo Marrying a Wife" for a long time, and there is not much oil and water left to be squeezed. If more people are forced to leave, making Ye a wasteland, it will not be a good thing for them.

In this case, when they heard that a new magistrate had taken office in Ye County, they were willing to cooperate and bring the new magistrate of Ye an achievement worthy of praise from the monarch.

In this way, he could curry favor with the magistrate of Ye and still act tyrannically in Ye County.

But they didn't expect,
Ximen Bao was a man of impatient and straightforward character. When he first took office, he acted aggressively, which made the gentry who had already made up their minds worry that his opponent would use force to turn the tables on themselves.

With such thoughts in mind, many people cannot sleep peacefully even in their dreams.

He Bo "saw" that their minds were wandering and felt that they were easier to be pulled into the dream than the mentally strong Ximen Bao, so he set them as the target to improve his proficiency.

……

Thus, unknowingly, several country gentlemen who were disturbed by the incident of the witch being thrown into the river reunited in a trance on the bank of the "Zhang River".

"The Zhang River is roaring, it's really beautiful!"

In the dream, their perception was not sharp, and the gentry just thought that they had made an appointment with others to come to Zhangshui for fun on a certain day and time, and they even joked with each other.

"Yeah, but the surface of the river is calm, and I don't know how dirty it is underneath!"

"Ah, being able to accompany He Bo is a beautiful thing, how can it be dirty?"

Someone jokingly said, "We don't have to say that!"

But as soon as he said this, another voice said, "Since it is such a good thing, why don't you come in person?"

The man immediately became furious and turned his head towards the voice, "How could you hurt someone!"

But when he saw the person, the words he was about to say were suddenly blocked in his stomach.

It was because the man who had invited them to accompany He Bo was standing on the water, followed by a dozen young women.

Judging from the appearance of those women, they were the ones hand-picked by them and sent to be sacrificed in the river!
When they noticed this, their gazes were controlled and they could not move away. They could only look into the eyes of the women, watching the originally calm girl's face gradually become distorted, her ears and eyes rotted, her skin peeled off, revealing an extremely miserable appearance. A strong fishy smell enveloped their mouths and noses.

The scary woman came out slowly from the river, saying that "He Bo" wanted to see her.

"what!"

"Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!"

Several gentry by the river began to push each other, hoping to get someone to get in front of them.

But no matter how hard they struggled, the river mud beneath their feet stuck tightly to their feet, and they could not escape at all.

The man standing on the surface of the river said, "You have been working hard every year to prepare for my marriage. Now that I have asked you to come with me, why are you refusing?"

"It can be seen that your respect for me is not sincere!"

"It's better to go take a dip in the water and cleanse your conscience!"

After that person finished speaking, the water of Zhang River surged up rapidly, drowning those people. Then the current swept them to the bottom of the water, where they were eaten by fish and shrimp.

……

"what!"

"Don't eat me!"

"Don't eat me!"

“I can’t breathe!”

After the cockcrow,

The country gentleman, haunted by a nightmare, suddenly rolled over from the couch, with a look of intense horror still in his eyes.

After he grasped the solid bedding and felt the dry clothes on his body, he breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest and said, "…It turned out to be a dream."

When the squire was dressed and preparing breakfast, he pointed at the food on the plate and his face changed drastically. "Why is it fish?"

“I don’t eat fish!”

"Take it down quickly!"

The servant didn't know why the master suddenly changed his taste. He grew up near the Zhang River and was most used to eating fish and shrimp...

But he had no right to ask questions, so he just obediently changed the food for his master.

He Bo was in the air, silently looking down at the country gentlemen who had been dragged into his dream last night.

Those people were frightened at first, but after they recovered during the day, they just thought it was a nightmare and gradually forgot about it.

Unfortunately,
He Bo was determined to make sure they would not forget what they had dreamed of.

For several days in a row, they were pulled into the river in their dreams and sank into it. They enjoyed the blessings bestowed by the River God and quickly became haggard and emaciated.

The country gentlemen, who had originally not taken the dream seriously, could not stand it anymore and gathered together to talk about the painful torture they had suffered in their dreams over the past few days.

Originally, it was not convenient to talk about what I dreamed about with others.

Since these gentry dare to make money under the banner of ghosts and gods, I don’t really believe in this aspect.

But it has been like this for two or three days in a row, and he looks so terrified. What can I do if I don't say anything?
The person who first mentioned this matter just wanted to express his anxiety, but was interrupted by someone else, "Did you also have this dream?"

"also?"

"What do you mean!"

Several people eagerly told their dreams, and their faces were already panicked when they finished.

"It's over!"

"It's over!"

"How can there be such a coincidence in this world!"

"It must be that Habaek is angry!"

In today's world, the belief in ghosts and gods is still very popular. Although after hundreds of years of chaos, many knowledgeable people have realized something, after all, like Confucius, they "respect ghosts and gods but keep them at a distance" and do not preach anything like "neither gods nor ghosts".

They were able to fabricate lies and make money because the legend of "He Bo" was already popular in Ye County.

At first, he was very courageous and did not believe that there really was such a thing as a "River God", so he was obsessed with money.

Now that these ghosts and gods have shown signs of appearing, they have frightened people into panic and confusion, and even wine, sex, money and anger cannot numb their minds.

"It must be because the county magistrate prevented He Bo from marrying a wife that this is what happened to you and me!"

Thinking that it was He Bo who was angry, the gentry gathered together to discuss how to appease He Bo.

Otherwise, if they continue to have sleepless nights, they will really have to "accompany Ha Bo"!
