There's something wrong with me

Chapter 239 Harmony with Fate and the 'Great Dao'

Approximately five seconds.

This feeling of sudden enlightenment gradually dissipated.

The field of vision returned to normal, but the effect of the causal rune did not disappear, and one could still see the fortune and good or evil of everyone in the field of vision.

Zhang Feng glanced around a few times, but didn't linger there. Instead, he walked through the crowd and followed the bandit in front of him.

Look away.

Zhang Feng found his luck very strange.

The overall impression is one of ever-changing clouds and mist, somewhat elusive.

Unlike others, who basically maintain one form and don't have the strange phenomenon of sometimes being big and sometimes small.

If you don't quite understand it, then let's ignore it for now.

At the same time, Zhang Feng looked at his karma and saw that his 'evil of blood and qi' far outweighed his 'good of white smoke and clouds'.

Interestingly, good and evil can coexist.

Everyone I met along the way was a mix of good and evil.

It was neither described as purely evil nor purely good.

However, in the subtle ways, the stronger party will gradually wear down the weaker party.

For example, a master thief's evil, if expressed numerically, would be '3'.

This 3 represents all the evil he has done in the past.

Good deeds are represented by '0.1', which should be the result of the good deeds just performed.

And over time, this 3 will gradually decrease by 0.1.

In a maximum of five days, you will get a pure evil value of '2.9'.

Based on these figures...

Zhang Feng suddenly had an idea: if he continued to do evil deeds in the future, it would be more because he had accumulated too much evil and his character had been affected.

In other words, once you break free from the rules, it's 'old habits die hard'.

Of course, people are more changeable, so this is not absolute.

Interestingly, in this world, 'good and evil' do not affect one's own fortune.

Just like this moment.

Zhang Feng then saw a richly dressed young man walk past.

His evil is 2.7, his good is 0.9, but his luck is 2, forming the shape of a slender snake.

The average person's luck is 1.

Zhang Feng observed many people and discovered that the fortune of ordinary people was around 0.8 to 1.2, taking on countless forms, including pigs, cattle, sheep, landscapes, and so on.

But they are all very small and not very specific.

Those who beg nearby have a luck rating of 0.3 to 0.6, and their appearance is also varied.

If one has a physical disability, the value is 0.2, and one's fortune is only a simple 'blue-white cloud' shape.

at the same time.

"Walk slowly..."

One after another, cries of mourning could be heard.

Zhang Feng saw the funeral procession in the distance, and the luck around the coffin was decreasing to 0, including the dissipation of good and evil values.

The dead are the ones with the best luck.

Furthermore, on his way to Qianlin Hall, Zhang Feng observed for a long time and found that everyone's fortune and appearance remained basically unchanged.

Unlike a master thief, whose numerical value is uncertain and whose form is also unpredictable.

Zhang Feng found it interesting and decided not to kill him after he succeeded, but to keep him alive as an experiment to see what was going on with his luck.

But just as Zhang Feng began to consider keeping him, the thief's luck suddenly surged, and the blurry blue clouds around him transformed into a large sheet of paper.
The value is an astonishing 6.2!

Zhang Feng didn't know what 6.2 meant, but he knew it was very strong.

He was at least the highest-ranking person in the county.

But what is this paper?
Is it related to a certain type of book? Does it encourage abandoning writing for martial arts?

As Zhang Feng pondered, he noticed that the paper had suddenly and strangely transformed into a book without any writing.

This seems to change entirely according to one's own wishes?
'Could it be... because of what I'm thinking?'

Zhang Feng found it interesting and began to speculate further.
'If it's because of my thoughts and feelings that his previous changes in fortune made it impossible to determine his "fortune value"—is that also because of me?'

Thinking it over, Zhang Feng decided to kill him in order to reach a conclusion, and he killed him with unwavering resolve.

Suddenly, the thief's 'book' vanished, and his luck turned into '0', just like a dead person.

'really! ’

Seeing this, Zhang Feng understood why his fortune had changed so drastically before.

Because she had been paying attention to him, and had set a trap for him, and because he was someone next to her and would be related to her in the future, she wouldn't let him go.

Finally, considering that his mind was in a state of confusion at the time and he hadn't considered killing him.

So, for someone who 'cannot escape,' their fortune and destiny are naturally chaotic and infinitely variable.

Of course, if he wanted to kill himself, his luck would return to normal.

Because he broke the deadlock.

As the old saying goes, once a person becomes enlightened, their fortune will increase.

Zhang Feng thought about it more and more and felt that it made sense. 'It seems that it wasn't wrong after all, because he got rid of the person who set up the plan.'

Since the person who sets up the layout can influence his mind, he will naturally also influence his fortune.

After all, if a normal person is constantly thinking about the person they are thinking about while doing something, they will definitely be distracted and everything will go wrong.

However, the matter of luck also reveals that this great thief currently has no intention of killing me.

Otherwise, his luck would return to normal.

Zhang Feng thought to himself that this luck was pretty good; it could not only see other people's fortunes, but also serve as a 'concrete killing intent sensor'.

Besides.

Zhang Feng also tried to examine his own fortune and karma, but it was all in a state of chaos, and he couldn't see anything at all.

This reminded Zhang Feng of a saying: "Calculate heaven and earth, but not oneself."

However, Zhang Fengben was able to modify his own fortune according to the Heavenly Dao formula, so it didn't matter.

Even if it can't be modified, what if a group of people go treasure hunting when they encounter some treasure in the future?

You can also find someone with high luck among them, someone who seems to be able to obtain treasure, and then 'follow' him.

These are all living things, and I'm a living person too, so I won't be so rigid.

As for good and evil, and fortune, how are they formed?

After observing for a while and noticing many other people, Zhang Feng finally understood.

But it cannot be described in normal language.

To put it more abstractly, this world, though lacking a Heavenly Dao, can be considered a 'computing power machine'.

The universe and all things within it are all forms of data computing power.

Good and evil, as well as fortune, are all variables that arise from the mutual influence of all things.

Without external forces or sudden interference, this variable value can also be considered the final value.

As for 'sudden events,' they are the kind of things that often happen in TV dramas and novels, where some people defy fate and change their destiny.

'External force' is oneself.

The reason I can see this kind of fortune value now is because it is in harmony with this world and has been integrated into a 'part of the Heavenly Dao code' of this world.

It is possible to use the 'Heaven and Earth Computing Power Machine - Administrator' privileges to obtain data that only the administrator can see.

The runes of the causal and fortune rules are the administrator passwords for obtaining the authority over heaven and earth.

In other words, all the cause and effect and fortune that I am currently seeing are not analyzed by my own 'eyes'.

Rather, it was something I could see after the heavens and earth were analyzed.

After all, he's just an ordinary old man now, without such great abilities or instantaneous computing power.

You should know that I can see all the cause-and-effect data instantly just by looking at one person.

Such computing power is something that even a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage couldn't achieve, let alone an old man.

Even Zhang Feng felt that this was something no normal cultivator could do.

……

five minutes later.

As Zhang Feng continued to ponder and analyze, they arrived at Qianlin Hall.

Standing outside the hall.

Zhang Feng didn't go in immediately; instead, he looked at the building.

According to feng shui, this building faces north and is located in the middle of the street, with relatively low eaves.

This area is also a rainy region during the summer and autumn.

In a sense, this does not absorb 'yang energy', and the whole house will be filled with yin energy, which will harm people's vitality.

From a scientific perspective, the humidity is too high, so it's necessary to open windows for ventilation as much as possible when the sun is shining brightly.

But it's such a bad location.

Looking from outside the gate into the court hall, Zhang Feng saw an elderly man taking a patient's pulse. The man's aura was very strong, about '2.7'.

Among them, the "goodness" score reached 6.8!

And it is purely good, without the slightest evil.

This person is Manager Li, also known as Doctor Li.

But his good fortune didn't increase because of his talent; it was because he was already of high caliber.

Because this world has no Heavenly Law, there is naturally no 'reward and punishment mechanism'.

Even if there is a vague and ethereal Heavenly Dao, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a clear distinction between good and evil.

Now that Zhang Feng has been able to integrate with the Heavenly Dao code, he is also caught in a dilemma, feeling that 'humans' can also become the Heavenly Dao.

So, what if the Way of Heaven is a person, or a being with some kind of thought?

The matter of rewarding good and punishing evil depends entirely on what others think.

They can set the settings however they want.

Even if doing evil deeds can bring great fortune, that's just the rule they want to use.

Zhang Feng now realizes that people are not necessarily the variable, but the way of heaven is definitely the variable.

If you were to enter such a messed-up, unpredictable world, you would have no choice but to try to defy fate.

Zhang Feng felt that the more he learned, the more unknowns he discovered.

At that moment, the thief saw Zhang Feng stop in front of the door without saying a word, but he didn't think anything was wrong.

Because he was used to Zhang Feng's usual silence.

Otherwise, it would have been strange that Zhang Feng had been so focused on his work and silent the whole way.

Furthermore, the two are currently in an ambiguous relationship, which will certainly make the shrewd thief suspicious.

Even now, he was wondering if Zhang Feng was looking for a way to kill him.

That's what I was thinking about.

The notorious thief raised an eyebrow, then glanced at the silent Zhang Feng. 'This old bastard, could he really be planning to use this opportunity to come out with me, and then have someone kill me?'

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

At the same time, Zhang Feng noticed that the great thief's luck had suddenly changed, from books to gold and silver treasures, and his luck had also increased to 1.7. He then focused his attention on the great thief.

He had murderous intent towards himself, especially the possibility of actually killing him, which is why his form returned to its previous normal state.

If you can't kill yourself, you're more likely to be influenced by your own image, making your aura blurry, and thus you can also judge the other party's killing intent.

Zhang Feng thought and analyzed the whole way, and finally fully understood the rules of 'Killing Intent Perception'.

It is now ready for practical application.

When the thief saw Zhang Feng looking at him, his murderous intent vanished, and he reverted to his previous polite demeanor. His treasures disappeared, replaced by the books Zhang Feng had desired.

"Old Master, we've arrived at Qianlin Hall. Manager Li and I have some acquaintance, so let me introduce you."

"Okay." Zhang Feng nodded slightly, but inwardly he was shaking his head.

This thief is really paranoid, with a different idea constantly on his mind.

Such a changeable person is good at adapting to changing circumstances; he should go and practice martial arts.

Thinking.

Unbeknownst to the thief, his book had transformed into a weapon imbued with magical energy.

With Zhang Feng's knowledge, as long as he doesn't die, he can easily change a person's fate.

This has nothing to do with words or causal rules.

It's simply that Zhang Feng's foundation is too strong, enough to allow someone to 'defy fate'.

The saying "first fate, second luck, third feng shui" doesn't apply to Zhang Feng.

As for fate, it refers to a person's birth, or 'innate destiny'.

Luck is the 'acquired fortune' of a person's life.

Feng shui, according to metaphysics, refers to the living environment, etc. A good environment can help people live longer.

But no matter what, there's this talk of "second luck," "third feng shui," and even the subsequent "fourth accumulating good deeds," "fifth studying," "sixth fame," "seventh something," and so on.

As for one's innate destiny, it is all dispensable.

Just like some people are born as the sons of the Nascent Soul sect leader of the largest sect in the world.

From a young age, he not only came into contact with cultivation techniques, but also consumed all sorts of miraculous elixirs.

Then what can we compare this to luck?

However, Zhang Feng is now able to change the great thief's "innate fate" with his "future destiny".

Knowledge truly does change one's destiny.

Using hundreds of years of human knowledge to fight against the life of a Nascent Soul cultivator is actually quite feasible.

After all, the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator in this world is only about eight hundred years.

But if it were in another world, there would be immortal beings who live for tens of millions of years.

We still need to spend more time learning new knowledge to balance and make up for the difference in 'fate'.

In the face of extraordinary reality, some say that the efforts of several generations cannot be surpassed by a single scholar; this is one explanation of fate.

……

Being in charge of Qianlin Hall isn't that complicated.

After Zhang Feng demonstrated his skill in treating arthritis and rheumatism with silver needles to an elderly man, everything became simple.

However, this was also because Zhang Feng was too old, his clothes looked respectable, and he had extensive medical knowledge.

That's why Manager Li dared to let Zhang Feng administer acupuncture to his patients.

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to simply show off one's skills without offending anyone, and to get all parties involved actively.

Fortunately, they're in charge now.

Zhang Feng also saw the medicinal herb; it had some spiritual energy, so it was acceptable.

But the greatest gain was that I unexpectedly came to understand the concepts of fate, cause and effect, good and evil, and the ability to sense killing intent.

Furthermore, through these rune rules, Zhang Feng's understanding of the Heavenly Dao's 'computational power formula' has deepened.

Furthermore, with the blessing of being able to see through some of the rules of the Heavenly Dao, one can also use the Heavenly Dao's computing power to calculate runes and bless talismans.

Ultimately, their combat strength was naturally greatly enhanced.

If Zhang Feng, in the past, could use a single spell at the Golden Core stage to 'completely flatten' an entire province, plunging the ground into ruins.

Now there are five provinces.

Zhang Feng had also calculated it clearly.

Although the spiritual consciousness of a Golden Core cultivator is only a few dozen miles long, under the power of compression and condensation, and with the 'unique blessing' that conforms to the Heavenly Dao, it is absolutely capable of spreading to a thousand miles away.

This unique enhancement is similar to when the railgun attacks Z1 and the superconducting civilization; if the opponent has a superconductor, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction of damage.

It is unique to oneself, yet it is a rule of Heaven, which, normally speaking, is universal to all worlds.

This is Zhang Feng's analysis and breakdown.

When knowledge is integrated and mastered, it is no longer a matter of 'knowing what but not why'.

Similar to cause and effect and luck, it may seem like just simple 'observation', which is a very strong aid, but it can be broken down into a lot of useful knowledge about combat power, as well as more important rule codes.

Of course, this was also Zhang Feng's way of looking at the virtual building every day and using reality as a test of virtual rules.

That's why they can quickly draw inferences from one instance to another and understand this kind of 'divine calculation power'.

Zhang Feng can now utilize the 'Heavenly Calculation Power'.

……

The next few days.

Zhang Fengdu has been stationed at Qianlintang.

Manager Li, who always prioritizes saving lives, was very welcoming and had no jealousy whatsoever.

Especially after Zhang Feng saved a little child who was about to die from heart failure.

Manager Li even gave Zhang Feng a century-old ginseng for free.

This was something Zhang Feng hadn't expected.

And then that night.

When Qianlintang was about to close.

Faced with Zhang Feng's undisguised doubt.

Manager Li laughed heartily and explained:
"I originally planned to sell this 'spiritual ginseng' and buy more precious medicinal herbs that can cure serious illnesses to save more people."

One ginseng root can save a hundred lives, which is naturally fair.

But seeing this little child today, if it weren't for Mr. Zhang being here, I would have wanted to take the ginseng to save the child.

Since Mr. Zhang saved it, the ginseng naturally belongs to him.

Faced with Manager Li's explanation.

Zhang Feng found him quite interesting, so he didn't refuse any longer and readily accepted the gift.

One interesting thing, especially in the last few days, is...

Because the bandit was following Zhang Feng to find Xuan Yun Sect to rescue him, he spent every day in Qianlin Hall and occasionally helped out.

Zhang Feng saw that his kindness was increasing.

If all his evil deeds are eliminated, will he truly become a good person from the heart?
Or is he still a villain?

Zhang Feng became interested.

They are preparing to use the notorious thief as a guinea pig once again to begin a new test of good and evil.

Anyway, if I just hold on for two more days, I'll be able to establish my foundation.

Then you won't be afraid of his temperament changing back and forth, and you won't be afraid of him suddenly rebelling against you.

If you have the capability, you can certainly use him for experiments.

If they dare to resist, just kill them.

Although Zhang Feng is a great person praised by everyone in the real world, he can sometimes be ruthless and kill people.

But thinking about it carefully, the terms "great thief" and "great path" are quite interesting.

This master thief can teach me a lot.

And the following morning.

While Zhang Fengzheng was pondering the master thief, he was also busy working with Manager Li and others at Qianlin Hall.

Two chivalrous figures passed by the pharmacy without stopping for a moment.

One of them had a knife at his waist, was tall and burly, and had tanned skin.

The other person, although he was also incredibly strong, had a less dark face because he wore a straw hat.

What they had in common was that, as they passed by, they all glanced at the thief who was helping out inside the pharmacy.

The man whose face wasn't so dark was named Yang Shaoquan, a well-known martial arts expert.

However, his name was not pleasant; he was known as the "Flying Blood Thief."

Like the notorious thief, he was a vicious and ruthless person!

But unlike major thieves who only like to bully the weak, he prefers to ambush and kill some famous masters.

In his mind, these established masters had even more money.

Perhaps we can also obtain some treasures or profound martial arts manuals.

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can still sell it.

Today, however, his eyes are set on the notorious thief Zhang Feng within the Thousand Forest Hall.

However, watching is one thing.

He still walked away from Qianlin Hall in a hurry.

"Found it, found it! I never expected that, based on the words of those two knights, I would see the great thief Sun when I entered the town today."

But who is that old man?

Yang Shaoquan's eyes were full of confusion, as he clearly remembered that this great thief was traveling alone.
