"After the old Super Arrester and my brother went missing, the district magistrate took it very seriously and ordered a search in the city. But before they could find them, the city was in chaos.
The Zheng family was annihilated, the Bao family was annihilated, and the Wang family was also in trouble. More and more people died, and the whole city was silent. No one had the time to care about this missing persons case.
It has been almost a month, and the yamen has already classified this case as an unsolved case. They don't plan to investigate further. "
Chen Yuanguang said bitterly.
Shen Lian thought for a while and asked, "Are there any missing children in the city recently?"
"No." Chen Yuanguang shook his head.
Seeing that there were no other useful clues, Shen Lian was very disappointed and asked Chen Yuanguang to go back.
He sat on the chair alone and thought. He gently stroked the Wind Chasing Sword, and a lot of worries arose in his heart.
"How could a living person disappear just like that?"
At this moment, a servant came to report that Wang Fugui had arrived.
The demons had massacred the city for three days, and the Wang family had suffered heavy casualties. But Wang Fugui had escaped because of Shen Lian's reminder.
"Let him in."
Soon, Wang Fugui walked quickly into the living room.
From afar, the fat man shouted, "Brother Lian, my savior!"
Shen Lian smiled and waved his hand, "Why are you thanking me? I just mentioned it casually, I didn't know things would be so serious."
Wang Fugui said seriously, "If you didn't mention it casually, I and the whole Wang family would have been annihilated like the Zheng and Bao families. Who else should I thank if not you? You don't know, these days when I think about it, my scalp is numb and I'm scared … "
Shen Lian shuddered all of a sudden.
"Yes, that day when I casually persuaded Wang Fugui to leave, I did save his life. Without my persuasion, he would have died!"
Could this be the reason why he got 10 points of persuasion in one go?!
It seemed that the persuasion points were not only proportional to the difficulty, but also to the influence.
In mathematics, constant and variable are a pair of categories that reflect the quantity of things.
Constant is also called "constant", it is a quantity that reflects the relative static state of things.
Variable is also called "variable", it is a quantity that reflects the changing state of things.
From a philosophical point of view, there is stillness in motion, and motion in stillness.
The degree of difficulty is a constant. It reflects how firm a person's attitude towards a certain matter is.
Influence, on the other hand, was a variable. It was dynamic, fluctuating, filled with infinite possibilities, uncertainties, and affected by various factors.
"If I meet a monk and bewitch him into rebelling, and this monk becomes an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, then the bewitchment points I can gain should be huge." Shen Lian's mind moved as he vaguely grasped another key point.
"I unintentionally changed the trajectory of a person's life …"
Shen Lian suddenly realized that the uses of the Life-Changing Gu far exceeded the limits of his imagination.
"Changing the fate of others is also bewitchment!"
Among those students on Earth, how many of them could choose the school they wanted to study in, the deskmate they liked, the roommate they wanted, and the major they liked in the university according to their own ideas?
Even what clothes to wear and what medicine to take were being crazily attacked and bewitched by a large number of advertisements and celebrity endorsements …
"I intimidated Sanniang and made Cuilan no longer afraid of snakes. These actions are changing the fate of their lives."
If Sanniang did not repent, and even used the power of her family, she could really suppress Shen Lian to the point where he could not raise his head. Cuilan might be afraid of snakes for the rest of her life and be as timid as a mouse. She would never be as lively and moving as she was now.
Shen Lian felt that he should become a life mentor, a theocratic leader, and treat the people as ignorant fans and believers. He should use actions and words to influence them, and even manipulate them to make different choices, so that they would walk a different path in life.
Let them change their way of living!
And this might be the way to maximize the use of the Life-Changing Gu!
When he thought of this, Shen Lian could not help but feel energized. He felt that the light in front of him was brighter.
"Sigh, Brother Lian, you are so right. Lin Xiuping is a jinx!"
Wang Fugui, who had survived a great disaster, said with lingering fear, "Wherever Lin Xiuping goes, there will be disasters."
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Why are you talking about Lin Xiuping again?"
Wang Fugui rubbed his hands and blinked his eyes, "Well, I saw Lin Xiuping again. Just yesterday, I saw him in a hurry, and he disappeared in a flash on the street. Brother Lian, do you think I should retreat this time? "
It turned out that Wang Fugui had been frightened by the previous incident. Meeting Lin Xiuping again made him uneasy, so he came to Shen Lian to discuss it.
"Lin Xiuping still hasn't left Snow Ridge City?!"
Shen Lian was inexplicably shocked!
He could not help but think. From the destruction of the Zhu family to the three-day demon massacre, Lin Xiuping's shadow was everywhere. Now that Black Wind Ridge was destroyed, the show had ended. Why was he still in Snow Ridge City?
"Fatty, this time we can't be as passive as last time." Shen Lian's eyes flashed and began to bewitch him, "Can you arrange some people to monitor Lin Xiuping? Find out where he is and what he is doing."
Wang Fugui's expression turned serious, "Leave it to me."
"Bewitching Wang Fugui succeeded, obtained five bewitchment points."
As Shen Lian watched Wang Fugui leave, a strange voice suddenly rang in his mind, causing him to raise his eyebrows.
"Five …"
"Wang Fugui monitoring Lin Xiuping might be dangerous, but it might also be a fortuitous encounter."
Shen Lian could not guess what these five bewitchment points meant. The only thing he could be sure of was that Wang Fugui's life would undergo some changes because of this.
"I don't know how strong Lin Xiuping is, I have to raise my strength quickly."
"Grandmaster Gu has huge potential, as long as I have enough bewitchment points, I can continue to evolve and become stronger."
Shen Lian pondered for a while and decided to try to walk the path of a teacher. He immediately went to find Shen Wanquan.
"Father."
Arriving at the study room, Shen Lian saw Shen Wanquan who was practicing his calligraphy.
"Lian 'er, you are here."
Shen Wanquan was full of smiles, beaming with joy.
After returning to Snow Ridge City, this person had suddenly changed and led Shen tribe to dominate Snow Ridge City. One who survives a disaster is bound to have good fortune. Just like what the Gu Master who possessed the Gu Master Gu said, if one did not have a rich life, how could he not be happy?
"I have two matters to discuss with you." Shen Lian said seriously.
Shen Wanquan's expression turned serious, he put down his brush and sat upright, "Speak."
"First, after the demon chaos, there were many orphans in the city. I want to select some of them and teach them martial arts, to nurture their loyalty to Shen tribe. When necessary, they might even be willing to die for Shen tribe."
"Nurture death warriors?!" Shen Wanquan was shocked and fell into deep thought.
It was not that he did not have such an idea before, but at that time, the four great clans were restricting each other and he did not want to engage in an arms race, so he gave up on this idea. Now, the situation was completely different, Shen tribe was the dominant force, it was imperative.
"Okay, I agree!"
Shen Wanquan did not think for too long and made the final decision.
Shen Lian was not surprised, "Take this opportunity to select some people from Shen tribe's disciples. The clan should have more talents, so that the clan can flourish for a long time."
"Okay, do as you see fit. These people will be for you to use after they are nurtured, you can choose the seeds yourself." Shen Wanquan laughed.
Shen Lian nodded, "Second, I intend to leave Snow Ridge City and go to Rong Hua City to develop. I want to enter Sister Yu's circle and lead Shen tribe to a new height. "
Shen Wanquan's expression changed again and again, his expression was somewhat complicated. He could not help but stare deeply at Shen Lian for a while, only then did he realize that this son of his had grown up and it was time for him to spread his wings and soar.
"Good, father will fully support you!"
Next, he called housekeeper Fan Li over, after finalizing some details, Fan Li arranged for people to secretly search for orphans on the streets.
At the same time, a hidden house in the outskirts of the city was activated.
Three days later, in the big house in the backyard of Shen family.
In front of the door, Fan Li respectfully said, "Eldest Young Master, according to your instructions, we found a total of 109 orphans, all under the age of eight."
Shen Lian nodded and walked into the big house. Looking around, there were many dirty children in the house. In the winter, their clothes were not enough to cover their bodies. Their bodies were blue with cold, and their lips were purple. They huddled together for warmth.
"I'm so hungry …"
"I'm so cold …"
Shen Lian sat down and looked at the orphans in the house.
Fan Li said to these children, "Come one by one, let our Eldest Young Master touch your bones."
These orphans did not know what touching bones was, but when they saw Shen Lian's luxurious clothes and thought that he might give them food, they flocked to him. It was a mess.
Fan Li scolded them again and again before they could line up properly.
The first one to come was a little boy.
Shen Lian did not touch his bones at all. He only asked some simple questions, such as what his name was and how old he was.
"Erdan, do you want to stay? If you stay, you will have food and clothes. "
"Yes."
The little boy answered shyly.
"Successfully bewitched Erdan. You have gained 1 point of bewitchment."
At this time, Shen Lian suddenly said, "Erdan, if you don't stay, you will get 5 taels of silver. You can buy a lot of good food and toys."
Erdan's eyes lit up, "Then I won't stay."
"Successfully bewitched Erdan. You have gained 10 points of bewitchment."
Shen Lian was stunned for a while. He lightly touched Erdan's head and sighed, "You have no fate with the Shen family. Go." He turned to Fan Li and said, "Give this child 5 taels of silver and send him away."
"Yes." Fan Li replied. He sighed in his heart. The Eldest Young Master was too rich. 5 taels of silver was equivalent to a servant's monthly salary.
The second orphan to come forward was a girl. Her eyes were watery, and her face was round. She was very pretty.
Shen Lian asked her the same question.
"Xiao Ying, do you want to stay? If you stay, you will have food and clothes. "
"Yes."
The little girl salivated.
"Successfully bewitched Xiao Ying. You have gained 8 points of bewitchment."
At this time, Shen Lian suddenly said, "Xiao Ying, if you don't stay, you will get 5 taels of silver. You can buy a lot of good food and toys."
Xiao Ying had the same reaction as Erdan. She said in a childish voice, "Then I won't stay."
"Successfully bewitched Xiao Ying. You have gained 1 point of bewitchment."
