I Have A Dual World Seal

"So, have you thought about what will happen after you’re exposed?" Lin Wan asked.

"No." Lu Zheng shook his head honestly, "But I’ve already been exposed now."

Lin Wan was stunned, reaching out to grab at the center of Lu Zheng’s whole body, "You rascal!"

...

In the following period, nothing major happened.

The biggest event was probably the sudden spread of "The Legend of the White Snake" in places like Lingbei Dao, Yinan Dao, Zhongyang Dao, Chuandong Dao, and others.

It’s said that the story takes place in the western part of Great Jing, bordering the Western Buddha Country, depicting an elegant, gentle, and kind snake demon Bai Suzhen, and a narrow-minded, envious, and spiteful monk Fa Hai from the Great Brahma Heaven Temple who cannot stand true feelings among people.

As a famous folktale within Hua Country, "The Legend of the White Snake" also made an impact in Great Jing.

In a short time, it became all the rage across the five southern Dao and thirty-two states, with both illustrated and scripted versions circulating, and reportedly more than a dozen top theater troupes have begun rehearsing the opera.

Similarly, due to "The Legend of the White Snake" promoting benevolence, many people started releasing small animals, which ironically led to hunters making even more money.

Of course, on the flip side, the reputation of the Great Brahma Heaven Temple and even Western Buddhism took a direct hit, dropping to rock bottom. If it weren’t for the high monk who helped Bai Suzhen in the end, Central Plains Buddhism could have been impacted as well.

The title of "Buddhist Slayer" of "The Legend of the White Snake" is not just for show.

How many people who yearned for Buddhism because of "Shaolin Temple" had a change of heart and become lifelong critics due to "The New Legend of the White Snake"?

The version of "The Legend of the White Snake" adapted by Shen Ying, Liu Qingyan, and Lin Wan was, of course, based on that most classic TV series.

"Xinyu is thrilled; she’s already worn out three copies of ’The Legend of the White Snake’ illustrated book and is strongly demanding a performance so she can play Bai Suzhen!"

"Now it’s Yu Ya’s turn to be dissatisfied; she’s strongly demanding that we write another love story about a celestial fox and a human." Liu Qingyan laughed, "I managed to persuade her to let you rest before writing again."

Lu Zheng: ⚆_⚆?

However, Lu Zheng thought about it and didn’t mind.

Snake legends are hard to find, but fox legends are everywhere, right?

"Then let’s in ’Liao..."

Shen Ying said enthusiastically, "Then let’s take out ’The Investiture of the Gods’ and make some changes to it?"

Lu Zheng was startled, reaching out to cover Shen Ying’s mouth, "Are you afraid that the Shangqing Lingbao Celestial Venerable won’t strike you dead with lightning?"

Shen Ying was also a bit scared.

They were going to modify "The Legend of the White Snake," let alone "The Investiture of the Gods," which is riddled with depictions of immortals everywhere.

This book is a mixture of various legends and self-created content, and who knows which parts are real or fake; it’s risky to spread it recklessly here.

Chen Zhonglin lived in a world without the appearance of immortals, so he was carefree, but they couldn’t be.

"Journey to the West" and "The Investiture of the Gods" are definitely nuclear-level banned books that cannot be released in this world!

Unless they ascend to the Upper Realm and grow to become immortals, they need to verify if those legendary immortals are petty.

"There are plenty of stories in ’Strange Tales of Liao Zhai’; I’ll look them up when I get back."

...

A new story is just a small matter.

Meanwhile, over in Blue Star, there was also a minor issue.

"There hasn’t been any progress on the Pharaoh Country side," Lin Wan said, "Even the psychologists who entered the museum at night couldn’t find anything that could hypnotize."

"So, after a group of people studied it for a long time, they concluded that there’s no curse on the relics. The curse or hypnosis that was performed that night must have been done by a person," Lin Wan said lightly, "This also explains why the relics never showed any anomalies before or after."

"Impressive!" Lu Zheng praised, "They finally guessed it right for once; that’s not easy to do!"

"And then?" Lu Zheng’s eyes shifted, suddenly pausing, and he couldn’t help but ask, "They won’t suspect me, right?"

Sometimes a misunderstanding aligns perfectly—damn, this group connected the curse to hypnosis, but...

After the incident with the Korean star, Lu Zheng became a well-known hypnotist in the circle, capable of influencing endocrine systems through hypnosis.

Thinking carefully... it does seem a bit like the Pharaoh’s Pyramid Museum incident...

Whoa? No way?

"They’re not," Lin Wan shook her head and couldn’t help but laugh, "One reason is there’s no motive; the other reason is..."

"What is it?" Lu Zheng asked.

"The night before, we were still in Hai City having hot pot."

Lu Zheng: (°ー°〃)

"Oh...I see..."

"Yeah," Lin Wan nodded, "And we don’t have any flight records; they can’t expect us to fly there, right?"

"Moreover..." Lin Wan chuckled, "Someone helped hide our consumption records from places like the Five Mountains, Changbai Mountain, and Erhai."

"Impressive!" Lu Zheng raised his thumb, "Did Xiao Yuya tell you that?"

"Yes," Lin Wan nodded.

"Thankful," Lu Zheng said with a smile.

Lu Zheng didn’t expect that their little stunt almost got them exposed, but luckily, someone helped cover it up from above.

"Since you’ve appeared in this world, it’s reasonable for other powerful hypnotists to emerge," Lin Wan said, "Xiao Yuya sent me some information, and it turns out that Edward is quite accomplished and can achieve similar effects."

Lu Zheng’s eyebrows raised as he nodded knowingly.

No wonder they mistakenly thought he hypnotized those stars through video, resulting in insomnia and hair loss, and they weren’t too shocked.

Turns out they could also achieve similar hypnosis effects.

This is what a science-oriented hypnotist looks like? Truly terrifying!

This is good, as long as it’s something explainable by science, then it’s manageable.

"Now, they’re suspecting another identity of yours and mine," Lin Wan said.

Lu Zheng’s eyes flickered, "Artifact thief?"

"Yes,"

Lin Wan nodded, "It’s well-known that artifact thieves have comprehensive intelligence, so they knew about the thieves’ actions in advance and set a trap in the museum."

"How do they explain the hypnosis or curse?"

"They don’t know," Lin Wan shook her head, "So the artifact thief ended up on the wanted list of many countries’ intelligence departments.

Of course, if they knew hypnosis, it would explain why they could easily steal large artifacts and collectibles."

Lu Zheng sighed, "I almost forgot about our other identity, didn’t expect it to get dug up again."

Lin Wan smiled, "Coincidentally, those people’s target happened to be the relics in the Pyramid Museum returned by artifact thieves, which was quite disrespectful to them, so it’s quite reasonable for the artifact thief to take action."

"And the artifact thief..."

Lin Wan shrugged her shoulders, "Naturally wouldn’t suspect us."

Lu Zheng shook his head, sorting out the current situation in his mind, feeling a bit of a headache, "It seems chaotic... Also, shouldn’t we express some gratitude to the Ancient Culture Archival Room?"
