Chapter 1021 - 1020: Can You Show Me?
Just as Chu Ge had hoped, when he once again helped Su Yuanzhou to sit up, Su Yuanzhou told him everything about his eyes in detail.Although this was not only Su Yuanzhou's greatest secret but also the greatest secret of the Su Family, because Chu Ge was the lifesaver of "Zhan Ge," Su Yuanzhou was willing to trust Chu Ge completely.
Because "Zhan Ge" was the spiritual leader of the "Hua War Association," he would be willing to sacrifice his life for "Zhan Ge," much like the most devout believers worship their deities.
For someone who risked their life to protect the god in their heart, is there any need for suspicion?
Without a doubt, the answer is no!
In the Su Family where Su Yuanzhou belonged, there was a cultivation technique passed down through generations, which was used to train their eyes that could hypnotize others.
However, even within the Su Family, only a small fraction of people knew about this technique, because not every Su Family member had the talent to cultivate it, and there was a rule that it was passed on to men and not women.
The method to test whether one can cultivate this technique is simple. On the "hundredth day" of a newborn, the first layer of the technique is written out and shown to the baby at noon and midnight.
If at these times, there is a change in the constriction of the baby's pupils, it indicates the baby has the potential to cultivate this technique; if not, they do not, and it is clear at a glance.
If the baby's eyes only change at noon, it indicates that the baby has some talent but may only be able to cultivate to the first layer. If the eyes only change at midnight, it suggests the baby's talent may be sufficient to reach the second layer with effort.
If the baby's pupils change at both noon and midnight when seeing the technique, it indicates excellent talent, potentially allowing them to cultivate to the third layer.
If the child has no talent for cultivation, they will never be told the secret of this technique, growing up as an ordinary child. Tested at such a young age, they will not remember this matter in the future.
Moreover, astonishingly, every Su Family member with the talent for cultivation will innately receive a subconscious suggestion from childhood: "Do not easily tell others about this matter."
This powerful technique, which began who-knows-when and how it was passed down through the Su Family, is undeniably strong.
When the first layer is fully cultivated, one can rival the top hypnotists in the world, quickly inducing hypnosis with the cooperation of the hypnotized.
Cultivating to the second layer allows instantaneous hypnosis, leaving the hypnotized person with no memory of the hypnosis upon waking.
At the third layer, the hypnotist can perform deeper hypnosis and quickly engage in self-hypnosis, providing numerous benefits.
Of course, no matter how miraculous the hypnosis cultivated through this technique is, it is not flawless. The effects of hypnosis vary from person to person.
If the spiritual power of the hypnotized is significantly stronger than the hypnotist's and they are prepared, avoiding eye contact with the hypnotist, hypnosis may fail.
As for the fourth layer and beyond? Ha, no matter how talented a Su Family member is, it's simply out of the question.
Because in the Su Family, this technique only has three layers.
After listening to Su Yuanzhou's explanation, Chu Ge became extremely interested in this cultivation technique for hypnosis and couldn't help but curiously ask, "Old Su, to which layer have you cultivated this technique?"
Upon hearing Chu Ge's question, Su Yuanzhou was a bit surprised. He thought Chu Ge might doubt his words, but seeing Chu Ge's demeanor, it seemed he completely believed him.
"I am currently at the early stage of the third layer."
After responding to Chu Ge, Su Yuanzhou quickly felt relieved in his heart.
He realized his earlier surprise was foolish. Since Chu Ge could survive the "Demon Slayer" operation, taking down so many assassins targeting "Zhan Ge," and instantly break through his hypnosis, considering Chu Ge's thoughts from an ordinary person's perspective was a joke. Chu Ge might have encountered even rarer things.
"The early stage of the third layer..." Chu Ge nodded, repeating the phrase, and his interest in this Su Family secret method grew even stronger.
Although he had been startled by that inexplicable awareness earlier, in a certain sense, he had to thank that unknown person hiding somewhere.
If that person hadn't suddenly appeared, he might have already fallen under Su Yuanzhou's hypnosis, and whether he would have awakened is hard to say, not to mention what could have happened afterward.
After all, despite the good atmosphere between him and Yuanzhou now, back in that situation, it was entirely possible that Yuanzhou might seize the chance and kill him.
Chu Ge coughed, raised a finger to scratch his forehead, and casually said, "Hey, Old Su, mind if I take a look at your cultivation technique?"
To Chu Ge, this request was undoubtedly an audacious one. This was the secret of the Su Family, and Yuanzhou had already been quite generous in sharing so much with him. How could he possibly show that cultivation technique to him?
However, Chu Ge's curiosity had been piqued so much that even knowing it was futile, he couldn't help but thick-skin making such a bold request, fully aware it might embarrass and trouble Yuanzhou.
"I mean, I'm just saying, if it's not possible then..."
"Sure, no problem."
Although Chu Ge boldly put forth that request, he regretted it immediately, feeling it was too abrupt. But just as he was about to change the topic, Yuanzhou nodded without a second thought and agreed.
Upon hearing Yuanzhou's response, Chu Ge was completely baffled.
What the...?! Seriously? This... this actually works? He... he agreed? He just agreed so easily?!
As Chu Ge was filled with astonishment, Yuanzhou grabbed his satchel from the sofa, pulled out an ordinary-looking notebook, the kind supermarkets sell for a few bucks, flipped it to the middle, and casually handed it over to Chu Ge.
As Yuanzhou flipped the pages, if Chu Ge wasn't mistaken... this notebook was actually an account book, recording in black and red ink some profit and loss information of some inn.
What the heck... such a powerful cultivation technique, casually recorded in a ledger meant for inn management?
"Mr. Chu, this is the first level of our cultivation technique. Take a look, the next two pages are the second and third levels respectively."
Seeing Yuanzhou's nonchalant demeanor, Chu Ge was truly puzzled. However, once he took hold of the notebook and viewed the pages, he was no longer surprised by Yuanzhou's reaction.
On that page were some strange scribbles left by a carbon pen, looking neither like words nor drawings, a chaotic mess occupying about half a palm's size.
Chu Ge's eye twitched slightly, feeling somewhat disappointed and somewhat amused.
It was only because Yuanzhou told him it was a cultivation technique that he went along with it. If Yuanzhou hadn't said so, at first glance, he would've thought it was doodles by some elementary school kid!
Logically speaking... just like in movies and TV shows, when a powerful technique appears, shouldn't it be accompanied by effects like wind and thunder, exuding some intriguing mysterious aura, something that strongly impacts people?
At the very least... shouldn't it be a book that, upon opening, has written explanations, illustrated annotations, with text that's slightly blurred, and pages a bit yellowed, indicating its age, looking all worn out like an antique-style bound book?
Yet the one Yuanzhou took out looks completely like a joke, right?
Though Chu Ge was quite knowledgeable and usually does not approach things with a presumptive view and attitude, what appeared before him now...
This darn thing is way too crudely made, isn't it?
The discrepancy between expectation and reality is too big, isn't it?
This looks entirely like a joke!
Noticing the shift in Chu Ge's expression, Yuanzhou was not surprised at all and said, "Mr. Chu, this is the first level of our Su Family cultivation technique. Pardon the simplicity, but I assure you, I'm not joking."
Chu Ge's eye twitched again, feeling rather speechless internally, yet despite feeling speechless, he didn't really doubt Yuanzhou's words. During his interactions with Yuanzhou, he genuinely didn't feel Yuanzhou would joke about something so absurdly.
Moreover, through years of experience he gradually realized that many things people deem "absolutely impossible" actually exist in reality. In some unknown places, through ways considered absurd and even beyond human understanding, they have occurred, are occurring, or will eventually become part of reality.
For instance, if before the invention of the telephone someone told people that there'd be a day when speaking a word could be heard from thousands of miles away, they would definitely laugh their heads off.
