Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

Although one of the people at the dinner is a flat man, and the other is a leftover woman who is nearly 30 years old and still unmarried.

So he looked at Yukinoshita Yukino who was giving a speech on the stage and nodded in agreement.

Volume 6: Life and Death in the Present: Chapter 38: The Future

Ling Wu Ji himself was not very interested in activities like the school festival. He had long passed that stage and did not think that participating in common activities with many people could leave indelible and unforgettable memories. So he had been watching from the sidelines. Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino standing on the stage and delivering her final speech, the event ended smoothly and the final curtain fell. Ling Wu Ji's mood did not fluctuate much. He just discussed with Yukinoshita Haruno beside him where to go for dinner.

But there aren't really many choices.

Originally, Ling Wuji was not very used to so-called Japanese cuisine.

So in the end I chose hot pot.

Of course, if you actually ask Ling Wuji whether he likes hotpot or not, Ling Wuji can only say that he doesn't hate it. Although in fact, Ling Wuji is increasingly feeling that all the so-called external appearances are being discarded, not to mention that eating is not necessary for him.

He is not the kind of person who cares much about his appetite.

The only thing he found difficult to give up was Coke.

So this dinner was more of a social gathering than a dinner.

Although Ling Wuji has heard that Japanese office workers would continue to hold drinking parties after work...

"right."

When Shizuka Hiratsuka heard him say that, she nodded.

"Then why don't you go to the cocktail party with your colleagues, teacher?"

"Well, it's about the future of my lovely student, so I have no choice but to risk my life for him. Besides, I really don't like that kind of occasion."

"Aren't you the teacher who has always said that you should teach students how to adapt to society?"

"But someone seems to have been saying that he can rewrite the rules of society without restraint, right?" Shizuka Hiratsuka opened a can of beer, looked at the boy sitting opposite her with dissatisfaction, and said, "So, are you really going to use Yukinoshita as a tool to transform Japanese society?"

"Why do you have such an idea, teacher?"

"But weren't you the one who said she should run for prime minister?"

After hearing the conversation between the two, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting on the side, looked at them a little uneasily. Obviously, she did not expect that these two people would push the conversation to this point so quickly.

"To be honest, I don't really care," Ling Wuji poured the Coke into the glass, watching the light black liquid flow through the ice, and said, "Whether she is really planning to run for prime minister, or she found out she's not cut out for it and gave up and is only planning to be someone else's aide, or she chooses to honestly inherit the family business, it doesn't really matter to me."

"Because you already have enough tools in your hands? Even if Yukinoshita is unwilling to do this, you have other alternatives for the Prime Minister of Japan? For example, the eldest daughter of the Kōfuin family?"

"I say, is this the image I have in your eyes? Ambitiously trying to push someone to that position all the time?"

Ling Wuji took a sip of Coke and said.

"It's hard to explain," Shizuka Hiratsuka thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "But if you really had no desires, you wouldn't have made the situation like this, right?"

"It sounds like you have already found out the situation, but," Ling Wuji glanced at the Yukinoshita sisters sitting on the side, and then said, "If I really want to do something, can you really stop me, teacher?"

"Of course," the more Shizuka Hiratsuka knew, the more she understood that Ling Wuji's abilities were limitless. Although for ordinary people, a normal magician was enough to make them want to live but not die, and because of this, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew how much resistance Ling Wuji would encounter in what he was doing, but he still did it so unscrupulously, which could only prove that this young man was like a god in a sense, almost omnipotent, but she still said, "It's just that I believe words can still have some effect, and you are not the kind of person who completely ignores what others say..."

When Shizuka Hiratsuka said this, she suddenly froze.

In fact, she herself didn't quite believe this statement.

Ling Wuji has always been the one who criticizes others harshly. How can others ever argue with him?

Moreover, even if his shortcomings were clearly pointed out, Ling Wu Ji would only respond with an attitude of humbly admitting his mistakes but refusing to repent.

But she still had a vague feeling.

If I were to explain why, it would probably be because Ling Wuji acknowledged that humans were not a static species. If change was inevitable, why was change due to words impossible? Not to mention that Ling Wuji's nature was not that bad, although this should be an obvious fact.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have dragged him to that classroom to form a club with Yukinoshita Yukino.

"I just think that you talk too much nonsense, teacher. If you have any ideas, you might as well just say them directly. Although I am not sure whether I will accept them or not."

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed and said, "Of course, my idea is just to hope that you can be happy without hurting others, but if Yukinoshita really runs for that position according to your idea and succeeds, the basis for this premise will definitely disappear."

Yukinoshita Yukino hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "But I still want to do it."

"Even if only as his puppet?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed at Ling Wuji.

"Even if only as his puppet."

"why?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't believe that Yukinoshita Yukino was the kind of person who had no opinions of her own, nor did she think that she was really selfless to this extent.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at her sister but said nothing.

But Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and gave her two pieces of tofu, saying, "Because she thinks she can beat me this way, right?"

"Too strong, isn't it?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"However," Yukinoshita Haruno turned to look at Ling Wuji and said, "If you want to choose someone to be a puppet prime minister, why not choose someone like the eldest daughter of the Gongfuin family? Just like Jim Hack in "Yes, Minister"."

Ling Wuji looked at her strangely:

The meaning of her words was a little too rich.

Was she praising Arisa Kouin or was she belittling her?

However, there is one thing that is beyond doubt: that is, Arisa Houin is indeed more suitable to be a puppet than Yukinoshita Yukino. It is better to say that she is only suitable to be a vase-like role. After all, she only has that little ability. If she lacks the ability, she will rely on others. This is human nature.

Volume 2: Life and Death in the Present: Chapter : The Future ()

"Indeed, she is a qualified candidate, but I don't think she has that intention."

Although Ling Wuji couldn't say that he could fully understand Arisa of the Shrine, that person probably only wanted to respond to her grandfather's wishes and just wanted to manage the Shrine Foundation. It is true that she would agree if Ling Wuji proposed that idea to her, but based on her original personality, she probably didn't want to put herself in that kind of environment and bear that kind of pressure.

"It sounds like you are really considerate."

Yukinoshita Yukino knew that the eldest daughter of the Konfuin family seemed to have a special position in Ling Wuzhi's heart, so even if she was just an ordinary young lady, he would try his best to obey that person's thoughts. After all, they were people with certain talents, and he had no burden in ordering them around.

Ling Wuji just continued drinking his Coke, and then added: "And you speak as if I'm really interested in reforming Japan..."

Although in a sense he does have some interest in it.

"So, if Yukinoshita really gets that position, what are you going to do?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"First, Japan's history textbooks should be revised."

No one present was surprised by what Ling Wuji had proposed. After all, no matter how you looked at it, this man was someone who would do that. If he didn't want to push this matter forward, it would only prove that he just wanted to "follow the example of Duke Zheng defeating Duke Duan in Yan" in a certain sense, letting Japan cause trouble, and then at the last minute only guaranteeing the safety of those who were related to him, and then sinking Japan...

He could definitely do it.

“Secondly, Fishing Island…”

"Actually, what you said is meaningless," Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed and said, "If you can really get Yukinoshita elected as prime minister, it will prove that the relationship between China and Japan will have a basis for normalization by then. You can only do these things if you are elected. If Yukinoshita deceived the voters before being elected and promoted these things after becoming prime minister, I believe she will be driven out soon, right?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't believe that Ling Wuji couldn't see these things.

But if he just didn't think about anything and just wanted to do it, then...

In fact, it's nothing.

Anyway, he always has a last resort.

Looking at the handsome and thin appearance of this young boy, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt the greatest sense of identity in her life as an educator. If she could not lead this kid onto the right path, or educate him not to be so extreme in his thoughts, then the Japanese people would probably not have a good ending.

"But you reap what you sow, right? Can we just brush aside the denial of history and the sowing of hatred?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka really had no way to refute this statement.

For an educator like her, it was a bit too difficult to consider such a national matter, so she could only look at the Yukinoshita sisters next to her, then took a deep breath and said in a tone that the future of Japan rested on their shoulders: "Do your best."

"Teacher, are you still going to say, 'The rise and fall of the empire depends on this one move'?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said in surprise: "Don't you always dislike this kind of tune?"

Why do I remember this line so clearly?

"It is precisely because of hatred that I remember it so clearly. The Japanese always think that they can pin everything on the success or failure of one thing. But if you ask me, the changes in things are often the accumulation of small things. What is the saying? Things are universally connected. The success or failure of one thing is not enough to determine the future of a country. Similarly, the victory or defeat of a war is not as simple as success or failure. You can't just casually erase the hatred. Teacher, if you think that they are doing well and I can relax, then you might be greatly disappointed."

Let Wu Ji speak.

“It’s really strict.”

"After all, the so-called Japanese are not just these two individuals, right? Even if what they did can make me feel good about them, the things other Japanese did can also make me feel bad about them," Ling Wuji said casually, "So of course I can say that now the standard for judging right and wrong is entirely in my hands. I can decide everything myself, and the objects I need to refer to are of course not just these two billionths of individuals."

"But to you, the weight of these two hundred million individuals is far greater than that of tens of millions of people, right?"

For some reason, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly said that.

Ling Wu Ji's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

If you say that she is wrong, Ling Wu Ji does not want to refute it, but if you ask how important these two people are, that is not really the case. At least, in Ling Wu Ji's heart, there are many people who are more important than these two people.

"For example?"

Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly asked.

"Qian Shang."

"Since you, Lingjun, feel that she is more important than me, why do you still call her by her last name?"

Yukinoshita Haruno asked curiously.

Although she was not surprised that Ling Wuji would say that.

After all, to be honest, Asagami Fujino was probably the first Japanese person he met.

“I’m just used to it.”

Ling Wu Ji just said that.

However, Yukinoshita Haruno thought about it and did not ask any further.

After all, if Ling Wuji was still hesitant before, it would mean that her position in the boy's heart was not yet determined. But since the boy said so, it could only prove that Ling Wuji might have really ranked them, and she would only be bringing shame upon herself by continuing to ask like this.

But Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at them strangely and asked, "Is the person you are talking about a boy or a girl?"

"Of course it's a girl."

Ling Wu Ji immediately said in an unpleasant tone.

"but……"
