Hidden moth

Chapter 271: There is no way to Buddhism, and Buddha cannot save you

The effects of the Xingshen technique are somewhat similar to hypnosis, guiding and releasing the subconscious mind, especially emotions. First, Mr. Wei must have such a desire, and it must be truly driven by his will, in order for the caster to exploit it and influence his behavior.

What does this mean? For example, some people don't do something because they don't want to do it, not because they don't want to do it, but because they lack the ability, the conditions are not mature, they are afraid of the possible consequences, and so on.

If Zhang San has the ability, the conditions are ripe, or the consequences can be avoided, then he will really do it. This kind of thing is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, when doing something righteous, many people do it not because they want to, but because they are concerned about the consequences.

For example, if He Kao scolded President Wei in Qian Guran’s office, an ordinary employee might have wanted to scold him in his heart but would not say it to his face.

The magic of the gods can make people do just this kind of thing.

There are also some things that Zhang San may think about, but he feels in his heart that he should not do them. This is often something that cannot be guided by mental techniques.

After the spell is completed, either the person who has been affected reacts, or the effect of the spell will last for a period of time. Therefore, from the perspective of an observer, it is often difficult to see any traces.

Unless the caster is discovered at the time, it would be difficult for even a master like Mei Guyu to make a judgment.

Why did He Kao think of this possibility? Because of Qian Guran's words. After he finished scolding, Old Qian said that his mood was not right and he should be more careful.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. He Kao once entrusted his life to General Wei, and at that time he felt that this person's mood was a little wrong... and He Kao himself had also been hit by Zhang Jinkui's flower-picking technique, so he thought of it.

No matter who it is, using the Xingshen technique to directly deal with Mei Guyu and Qian Guran is not a good choice, because it is very likely that the other party will notice and expose themselves.

But choosing an ordinary person like Wei Digao and casting a spell when no one is noticing makes the method very covert. As long as you understand the person's nature and guide his behavior skillfully, it will be impossible to guard against.

Would Wei Digao definitely go looking for trouble with Mei Guyu? Not necessarily! If someone casts a spell, it's all a matter of chance. And when President Wei saw Mei Guyu, he was indeed tempted, and then he started to court his own death.

He Kao added, "If someone really did use the Xingshen technique, and none of us noticed, the timing, target, and method used would be extremely clever. They must be a master. You have to be careful."

Mei Guyu: "You are the one who should be careful."

He Kao sighed. "Whether it's true or not, this guy is a nuisance. I warned him in Mr. Qian's office, but it didn't work. He became even more aggressive after returning to the hotel..."

Mei Guyu: "He believes in the workplace rules he understands, and I want to ask you, a senior in the workplace, what should you do when you encounter such a situation?"

Mei Guyu came to work at Qiyuan, just to experience the world as an ordinary employee. As for other things, they were not Mei Guyu's own ideas, but the arrangements made by the sect's law hall.

She made it very clear when she met He Kao on the first day of reporting for duty.

The problems she was facing were likely faced by others in the workplace. Magical techniques like flying swords to take heads were definitely not acceptable.

He Kao laughed when he heard this, and Mei Guyu asked, "Is there anything funny about me?"

He Kao laughed and said, "In another situation, if the person involved is not you, but another colleague in the department, and she is just an ordinary worker in the workplace, wouldn't she be able to take action when encountering such a thing?
It's just a matter of a kick. As long as you're willing to go all out, you don't need any magical powers."

Mei Guyu: "Many of the sect's rules may seem restrictive, but they are actually taboos for practitioners. If you violate them recklessly, the consequences will inevitably backfire on you. However, many people fail to fully comprehend this.

Even without using my magical powers, it would be easy for me to kill him. But everything has its reasons. If I really did it, what would be the cause?

He Kao replied, "That's what he's doing! He just gathered his followers in the hotel to discuss a plan. I heard it, and I'm sure you know it too... This is the cause of karma."

The so-called cause of dependent origination is not the cause that is commonly referred to.

If you have done nothing wrong and someone suddenly slashes at you with a knife for no apparent reason, the reason could be a mental illness, robbery, revenge on society, or the criminal wants to lure out the police's plainclothes undercover...none of this matters at the time.

It was other causes that led to the result of swinging the knife.

You can only protect yourself, and if you can't escape, you have to fight back. The "cause" that leads you to fight back is simply the other person's act of swinging the knife, not why the other person swung the knife.

That is a topic that judicial workers, doctors, and sociologists study from a third-party perspective after the fact, and you are the victim, not a third party.

To others, it might not seem necessary or even unreasonable to punish Wei Digao. However, He Kao and Mei Guyu knew the inside story and knew what Wei Digao wanted to do, what he had done, and what he was going to do next.

Mei Guyu asked again, "Every action has its consequences. I'm not very experienced in the world, and you understand many things better than I do. I'd like to ask what the price of doing this is?"

He Kao: "Of course there is a price to pay. For example, if you put a sack on him and hit him with a club, the price you pay is the risk of being discovered by the police.

This is your current situation. If calling the police would be useful, you wouldn't have to resort to bludgeoning. Precisely because calling the police is useless, if you choose to bludgeon, you have to take the risk."

Mei Guyu's eyes lit up: "I see, thank you! I'm not very familiar with this kind of thing, it seems you are more experienced."

Order should protect and constrain everyone, just like the rules of chess; you can't tamper with the board at will. Tampering requires two things: first, the rules can't protect justice, and second, you have the ability and willingness to pay the price.

What He Kao said was actually the specific application of the Jianghu Piaomen Law.

Mei Guyu was just an ordinary employee of the Qiyuan branch, that was true, but no one could dictate that she had to be mediocre and follow certain rules in everything she did. She was still Mei Guyu, and she shouldn't, and couldn't, become someone else.

There are all kinds of employees and they can do anything. For example, He Kao is just an ordinary employee. This is the real workplace, which is no different from the workplace of the past and present... This is what He Kao emphasized.

Mei Guyu looked at He Kao and smiled. She looked very pretty when she smiled. He Kao also drank several more glasses and talked in detail about how he was going to deal with Wei Digao... In short, the atmosphere of this midnight snack was very good.

After dinner, He Kao sent Mei Guyu back to Sesame Apartment. He used his internal energy to get rid of the drunkenness and drove home. There was an unconscious smile on the corner of his mouth.

After changing his attitude, he found that dealing with Mei Guyu was quite pleasant.

Given Mei Guyu's status as a cultivator, he naturally felt very comfortable when he took the initiative to invite him to dinner and asked for his advice with such a kind attitude. Anyone would inevitably feel a little proud to have the opportunity to guide such a master.

When he opened the car window and a gust of cold wind blew in, He Kao suddenly realized something and gradually came to his senses.

Just now, I was only concerned about being a teacher, but I didn't think carefully - no matter how inexperienced Mei Guyu was, he was still a sixth-level peak pharmacist, the head of the Danding Sect, and an elder of the Zongfa Hall. Did he still need to teach people how to use the Jianghu Piaomen Law?
How could such a small experience in the workplace bother her? She was a sword cultivator with a clear sword heart!
So her "consultation" today should be a kind of examination, in a calm and unobtrusive way, which is consistent with their current status as colleagues.

Sometimes when you ask someone for advice on something, the person who tells you what to do also reflects what kind of person they are and their stance and wishes.

Mei Guyu was essentially asking tonight - what kind of person is He Kao?

He Kao had just told Huang Xiaopang, in front of her, that he would be out on a business trip tomorrow. He not only answered her questions but also offered a solution and took the initiative to help implement it.

In fact, this is not only because of Mei Guyu, but also because of Gao Xue'e.

The next day, Mr. Wei didn't ask for more money, but he did discuss "business." The two of them had already fallen out behind the scenes, and there was nothing much to discuss, but they still maintained their decency in public.

The so-called inspection usually involves sightseeing and sightseeing. The inspection of the Qiyuan branch also includes an inspection of the regional environment where it is located.

Qian ignored Mr. Wei, but arranged for the office director to accompany him on a tour. Mr. Wei had been to Qiyuan more than once and had visited almost all the scenic spots in and around the city. This time, he went to Niu Shou Mountain in the far suburbs.

Niu Shou Mountain is a famous Buddhist attraction. On the top of the mountain stands a magnificent and luxurious Buddha's Crown Palace. A large area of the mountain has been hollowed out and eighteen floors have been built down to the bottom. The Buddha's crown relics are enshrined at the bottom floor.

Mr. Wei took the initiative to suggest that he wanted to go and pay homage to the Buddha's relics.

Take a tour bus up the mountain, worship the Buddha's relics, and then walk down the mountain to enjoy the scenery along the way. It is not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is still winter vacation. With good weather, there are many tourists and pilgrims on Niu Shou Mountain.

When we reached the bend of a stone staircase, we saw a group of fitness joggers walking down the mountain quickly, and a group of pilgrims holding small flags coming up from below. The people passing by each other seemed a bit crowded and chaotic.

Wei Digao frowned and leaned to the side of the road. Perhaps he accidentally stepped on empty air and suddenly rolled down the hillside beside him. He fell with a bleeding head and was unable to struggle.

The accompanying personnel rushed to provide rescue and called the scenic area's emergency rescue number.

The fall was a perfect opportunity, neither fatal nor disabling, but the injury was serious. I stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, and then went home to recuperate for more than a month, for a total of almost two months of rest.

Unlike what is often depicted in literary works, even without post-concussion symptoms, many people have trouble remembering the events of an accident like this. This may be a subconscious self-protection mechanism.

Mr. Wei actually didn't remember it very clearly, but he insisted that he didn't step on empty air, but someone kicked him in the calf and knocked him down.

After he woke up, he called the police, but unfortunately there was no surveillance at the scene and no bystanders to confirm his statement.

After suffering such a huge loss, he had to find someone to be held responsible. So Wei Digao sued the Niu Shou Mountain Scenic Area. In the end, he was only compensated according to the insurance because the ticket to the scenic area included personal accident insurance.

Later, a joke spread in the company, saying that Skinny Pighead went to worship Buddha, and fell down the mountain for unknown reasons on his way back, and then he sued Buddha.

The Buddha on Niu Shou Mountain is really effective. I know he has bad intentions!
Wei Digao sued the scenic area operator, but those who spread the gossip didn't care about that, and this statement cannot be said to be completely unreasonable.

This joke was not made up by Qian Guran, He Kao and others, nor was it spread by them. There are many such creators and disseminators in large companies, and this is indeed true.

It may seem like a harmless joke, but its destructive power should not be underestimated. Two months later, when Wei Digao officially returned to work, he found that he had missed a lot of things.

The division of responsibilities among the various teams involved in the Digital Life project had been finalized, and he hadn't secured what he had hoped for. Gao Xue'e had been promoted to Vice President of the Qiyuan branch, and Huang Xiaopang to department head. Everything was settled.

Not only that, he also found himself sidelined by the vice president who was in charge of the work. By this time, he had completely forgotten about dealing with the people at the Qiyuan branch and had no time to care about it anymore.

Not long after, he was transferred to a department that was about to be eliminated, which meant he was completely marginalized...

These are things for later, let’s not mention them for now.

Anyway, on the afternoon of the day after Mei Guyu's dinner, President Wei landed on the mountain in the Buddhist holy land. In the evening, there was another good news: Gao Xue'e successfully advanced to a second-level assassin.
