I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 102 This world is absurd! What level is the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable?
"Xiao Ni, does your eye still hurt now that you've taken off the glasses?" Chen Xiaoyan asked, her eyes brimming with joy.

After trying so many hospitals without success, she was on the verge of collapse, fearing that her daughter would really go blind in that eye.

Now I've come to my parents' home to try it out, and it actually works! You can imagine how excited I am.

"Mommy, it doesn't hurt anymore. It feels so cool and comfortable!" Little Ni's happiness was evident on her face despite her young age.

Chen Xiaoyan barely hesitated before pulling her daughter to bow to Chen Han: "Master, Aunt, thank you, thank you so much."

Zheng Yu also hurriedly bowed and thanked him sincerely, now he dared not be disrespectful in the slightest.

He was completely stunned.

Chen Han waved his hand and said, "Alright, you all take the children back to rest first, and then see how things go."

"Okay, okay!" Chen Xiaoyan nodded, said goodbye, and then she and her husband took their daughter out of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Hall.

Chen Shuisheng also went back, clearly still caring about his granddaughter.

Several tourists watching this scene felt it looked so fake.

Even if you, the head of the Chen family, possess a skill similar to scaling walls and leaping across rooftops, it's unbelievable that praying to the gods and drinking a bowl of soup could cure diseases that many hospitals can't treat. Even television wouldn't dare to portray such a thing.

Seriously, if TV shows or movies dared to portray such absurd plots these days, they'd be bombarded with criticism.

As bystanders, they were clearly seeing things through a fog, unable to discern the underlying situation, let alone understand the shock experienced by those involved.

Chen Xiaoyan and her husband had just returned to her father's house with their daughter when they heard their daughter's excited voice: "Mom, Dad, I can see clearly now! Uncle and Grandma are so amazing. They cured Xiaoni's eyes. They are even more amazing than those doctors."

"Really?" Chen Xiaoyan asked excitedly.

The swelling went down in such a short time, and now my vision is starting to recover?

This is too fast.

If she didn't know the specifics of her daughter's situation, she would have thought that her daughter was impersonating her.

Zheng Yu had already started rummaging through his luggage and took out a simple vision chart, which was used to roughly test a child's vision. If a child has vision problems, the hospital will give them one when they go for a checkup.

"Xiao Ni, close your right eye and look here!" Zheng Yu immediately tested his daughter and found that her eyesight had improved significantly. In his excitement, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask Chen Shuisheng, "Dad, does the Chen family head treat outsiders?"

He remembered something: the company's big boss's father also had an eye ailment, and the big boss had taken his father to the hospital for treatment many times. If he told the big boss this...

However, we do not know Mr. Chen's attitude.

...

the other side.

"Uncle, come with me to the vegetable garden." After leaving the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Hall, Chen Han remembered another reward from this upgrade: a 10-mu spirit field transformation token. He still needed to transform these 10 mu of spirit fields.

"Mm." Chen Lin nodded without asking any questions.

He knew his nephew must have an ulterior motive, and as a qualified protector, he just needed to carry out his nephew's orders as the head of the family.

Before long, the two arrived at the vegetable garden. Chen Han looked at the location of the vegetable garden and the wasteland next to the mountain, and asked, "Uncle, can we expand the land by another 10 acres? I recently discovered the wonderful use of a family underground feng shui formation. Perhaps we can experiment with it and have some unexpected gains."

Chen Lin nodded directly and said, "No problem. I'll have someone rent agricultural machinery this afternoon, and it can be done in two days."

"Okay!" Chen Han handed the matter over to his uncle and went back to his own attic to check the Taoist plant classics.

The transformation of the spirit field not only requires planting spirit-locking plants in the corresponding locations within the family's territory, but also setting up a spirit-sealing array for it to take effect.

Taoists have many plants with various functions. Plants for offering to the five, the seven sages, and the nine spirits are common, while plants that lock in spiritual energy are less common. These plants are said to have the function of locking in spiritual energy or similar substances.

After doing some research, he also roughly knew which Taoist plants were used to lock in spiritual energy:

Pine trees, peach trees, soapberry trees, cypress trees, gourds, etc. are all excellent plants for locking in spirits.

He found a suitable and easy-to-grow tree: the peach tree.

Once my uncle has finished preparing the 10 mu of land, he can use the Spirit Field Transformation Token to transform the 10 mu of land, then order peach trees to plant, set up the Spirit Sealing Array, and the Spirit Field will take effect.

After making his decision, Chen Han, seeing that everything was alright, took out the spirit stone with little spiritual energy remaining, then sat down cross-legged and began cultivating using the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

As he absorbed and refined the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, his true energy surged through his meridians. When he stopped cultivating, it was already completely dark outside, and the spiritual energy from the spirit stones in his hands had been exhausted.

Without the effects of lung cancer, his internal energy increased significantly faster and more effectively, and his strength also improved considerably.

He stood up, took out a toothpick, and activated his sword control technique. The toothpick danced and moved nimbly in his palm. As the true energy in his dantian increased, he became much more adept at controlling the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Sword.

With a flick of his finger, the toothpick shot towards the table with a snap, actually piercing a small section of the surface.

Chen Han stepped forward and pulled out the toothpick, leaving a small hole in the table.

If it were used on someone, I can't even imagine how painful it would be—definitely more painful than being stabbed by Rong Momo.

At that moment, he also received a message from his uncle, inviting him to come over for dinner.

When I went downstairs to the courtyard, Cai Wang came running over barking and asked me to help him take off his armor.

However, the white light floating on Youcai's back made him smile.

Another piece of Qingyu Pheasant meat. It seems the dog is very obedient; it's gone up Qingluan Peak again.

It's a good dog!

While helping the dog remove its armor, he also put the blue-feathered pheasant meat into the warehouse before heading towards his uncle's courtyard.

This time, the dog Youcai actually caught up with us.

When they arrived at the yard, the large black dog that my uncle had adopted was eating heartily. Suddenly, a head appeared and it was startled. When it saw that it was You Cai, the little mongrel, it immediately and respectfully gave up its spot.

He kept his head down, looking like he was saying, "Boss, you eat first."

Chen Han smiled upon seeing this and went into the kitchen.

Xiaoyu and Xiaomi have arrived and are waiting for him at the dining table.

Xiaoyu had a gloomy face, obviously something had happened. When she saw him, she said, "Senior brother, look at this video. The incident at the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable's Hall this afternoon has been uploaded to the internet."

As she spoke, she handed over a video.

The video, clearly posted by a tourist, had over 10 likes, indicating it had gone viral. The title was "The Chen family cured a little girl's eyes using a ritual."

The scene shows the aunt dancing a prayer dance, and Xiao Ni kneeling on a prayer mat.

This is really a good shot; combined with the title, it's easy to misunderstand.

Upon opening the comments, I was certain it was true:

"Damn, I can understand practicing martial arts, but I don't quite understand this shamanistic ritual."

"Are you kidding me? If this can cure my eyes, why would I spend 40 yuan at the hospital?"

"If Mr. Chen has proven the traditional speed, then there's no need to prove superstition as well, is there?"

"..."

Clearly, what Xiao Mi feared had happened.

Look at this video blogger called 'Wu Hao Loves Life'. He has over 10 followers. Before posting this video, he had already filmed several videos of a cow and a dog with good fortune and wealth in Chenshi. He was just trying to gain popularity.

What is a "trend-chaser"? It's someone who rushes to a trending place or someone to film a video and piggyback on it.

To gain over 10 followers, one must have spent a lot of money.

There's no way to completely eliminate this kind of tourist, but it just so happens that they captured this scene, which happened to go viral and led to misunderstandings among netizens, which is quite frustrating.

Moreover, the comments section is filled with feudal superstitious remarks, which may be intentional. If so, then Wu Hao's intentions are quite malicious.

Xiao Mi looked at him, took out her phone, turned on the recording, and said with a smile, "I have a lot of followers on my account, so I'll record a clarification video for you that shows you believe in science!"

Chen Han nodded and said to Xiao Mi's camera, "Hello everyone, I am the head of the Chen family. I find it outrageous that videos of our Chen family performing rituals to cure diseases have appeared online."

"Let me clarify here, that is a Taoist blessing dance. Our Chen family is a Taoist family, and we have a tradition of elders performing blessing dances for younger generations."

"This has absolutely nothing to do with treating illness. Everyone should not believe or spread rumors, and should trust science." Xiaoyu and Chen Lin watched him lie calmly and were truly impressed.

After all, the two of them knew that it was genuine treatment, and that it was very effective.

"Senior, how do you manage to lie so nonchalantly while filming your videos?" Xiaoyu asked, her face full of curiosity and admiration. "When I'm filming my videos, I can't help but laugh when I'm saying my lines. It feels so unnatural."

Chen Han said irritably, "Junior sister, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling the truth, when has it ever been a lie?"

"???" Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Her senior brother treated her like a fool again.

Xiao Mi, however, had already started editing the video on her phone and posted it on her account with the title: "This is a Chen family tradition: elders perform a blessing dance for younger generations. It's definitely not for healing. Everyone should trust science."

She thought about it again, @Master Chen @Master Li @Master Xuanshen…

@A row of more than a dozen Taoist priests.

She remembered that these Taoist priests had all come out to ride the wave of popularity before... and spread their teachings once, so let them come out again to continue spreading their teachings now!
Then she clicked upload with a mischievous grin.

Xiao Mi has almost 400 million followers, so her video naturally attracted a lot of attention, as well as those she tagged.

Master Chen is like that. He has been thinking about what kind of video to shoot these past two days. Because he is a Taoist practitioner, he cannot shoot videos casually. There are many rules involved.

Publicity is not easy, especially for those with special identities in the Xuanmen sect, who have to consider many potential impacts.

When he saw someone tag him, he naturally checked it immediately. He saw that the video was of the Chen family head. After hearing the other party's clarification, he immediately checked what had happened and then saw the video of the Chen family performing a healing ritual.

Having cultivated Taoism his entire life, he could naturally tell that the female Taoist priest in the video was performing a blessing dance, but she was too old and not as agile as before.

Now he understood what the Chen family head's statement meant. The family elders were performing a blessing dance for the younger generation, and now they were being falsely accused of using the doctor's magic to cure diseases. This was going too far.

However, now that I had some material to film, I immediately opened my phone to record: "I just watched the video of Ms. Chen performing a healing ritual, and I felt very angry. That female Taoist priest was just performing a blessing dance for her juniors, and it had nothing to do with performing a healing ritual. I hope everyone will not spread rumors just because they filmed a video, and will believe in science!"

As he spoke, he demonstrated the prayer dance once, and you could see that the movements and steps were almost identical to those in the fabricated video, which proved that the "Wu Hao Loves Life" video was a fabrication.

After clicking upload, Master Chen also reported the video that was spreading rumors.

Not only Master Chen, but also Master Li, Master Xuanshen, and other Taoist priests who were tagged in the post saw this opportunity to spread their teachings and had to show their faces for the sake of their doctrines and the gods they served.

Moreover, this popularity is indeed related to their Taoist sect. The blessing dance is the simplest basic ritual dance of the Taoist sect. To say that this is a way to cure diseases and promote superstition is just spreading rumors.
unacceptable!

As Master Chen said, we must believe in science.

In an instant, the entire Douyin region witnessed the grand occasion of the Taoist sect once again, and all the Taoist priests posted videos in unison.

Qingmin City Airport.

Wu Hao was very excited to see that the data in Douyin's backend was no longer increasing.

I stayed at Chen's place for two days this time, which cost 1500 yuan. I filmed several videos to ride the wave of popularity, and the data was pretty good. I've already made a profit. I didn't expect that the newly uploaded video before I went back today would have an unexpected surprise and go viral.

He had to cut a large portion of the video; otherwise, the girl's parents' excited words and exaggerated behavior would have seemed too much like a staged performance.

Moreover, he deliberately chose this title because he knew very well that only by creating conflict could he attract a lot of attention; just look at the comments section where people questioned Chen's feudal superstition propaganda.

This is the contradiction he wanted, so that the video would get even more attention.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong with the comments section.

"Damn, is there no cost to spreading rumors these days?"

"You're really good at spreading rumors!"

"You're finished. You spread a rumor, and not only did it force the Chen family head to come out and refute it, but it also dragged in so many Taoist masters. You're the first one like this!"

"..."

"???" Wu Hao knew something was wrong when he saw these comments. He subconsciously searched and saw a video from Xiao Mi's account where the head of the Chen family clarified: "Hello everyone, I am the head of the Chen family... It has nothing to do with treating illness. Please do not believe or spread rumors, and believe in science."

"No, what do you mean?" Wu Hao immediately became flustered.

This afternoon, your Chen family didn't say that at the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Hall.

It was clearly to treat that little girl's illness.

The parents said that several hospitals couldn't do anything, but they could get better after treatment at your place.

He's just stating a fact, using a sensational headline, and you're already saying there's no cure for the disease, and that he's spreading rumors and that we should believe in science?

Is this too much?

Seeing the comments about other Taoist priests in the comment section, he immediately started searching again, and then he was completely dumbfounded.

What did he see? One after another, Taoist priests were posting videos.

Especially those like Master Chen from Wudang, they are all very famous Taoist masters with many fans.

But these people unanimously said that it was a blessing dance and had nothing to do with healing, and even accused him of spreading rumors and told people to believe in science.

Wu Hao felt a bit confused. Did these Taoist priests even know the truth before accusing him of spreading rumors?

Can anyone understand what it feels like to watch a group of Taoist priests who practice Taoism and talk about metaphysics and deities all saying that we should believe in science?
Suddenly, I feel that this world is somewhat absurd.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that his video was gone, and a system notification came from the backend that his account had been banned for one month because of spreading rumors in a special category.

"Fuck..." Wu Hao cursed aloud upon seeing the message.

He suddenly felt like the whole world was playing him.

Chen Han naturally learned that the 'Wu Hao Loves Life' account had been banned, and he also saw Xiao Mi @Chen Daozhang and others. It can be said that the banning of 'Wu Hao Loves Life' was all Xiao Mi's doing.

With so many Taoist priests appearing, it's suspected that their accounts are involved in religious beliefs and spreading rumors, so it's perfectly normal for their accounts to be suspended.

After the meal, Chen Lin reported, "Xiao Han, the flowers for the flower sea will be delivered and planted tomorrow. Also, the Heavenly Venerable's Dharma body has been shipped. You will need to preside over the consecration ceremony to invite the Heavenly Venerable to the flower sea. Therefore, you need to burn incense and change clothes in advance for the next three days."

"Yes!" Chen Han nodded. Although the Chen family was like a rogue cultivator in a Taoist sect, and usually very casual, these were the rules at important moments, and what needed to be done still had to be done.

So, after finishing dinner, he returned to his room and took a proper bath, then put on his Taoist robe and went to the Great Hall of the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable.

Burning incense and changing clothes is a manifestation of the Taoist principle of "respecting the gods as if they were present." Changing clothes is a solemn way to show respect to the gods, requiring neat appearance and harmony of mind and body. Burning incense is a way to communicate with the gods and calm the mind, because only by reaching the truth and spirituality can one communicate with the divine.

For the consecration of a deity's statue, depending on the deity being worshipped, incense is usually burned and clothes are changed three days in advance.

When his aunt saw him arrive, she knew why he had come and prepared three sticks of incense for him.

When burning incense, use three undamaged incense sticks and light them with an open flame. If an open flame appears, you need to extinguish it by swinging your wrists left and right; do not blow it out with your mouth.

When offering incense in worship, one should face the image of the deity, raise the incense with both hands to forehead level, and bow deeply; this is a sign of reverence for the gods.

These are all based on specific rules, which Chen Han had learned from his father before, so he was quite adept at them. However, the sudden game prompt startled him for a moment:
[System detection has detected new data packet fragments, and the collection of data packet (2) fragments has increased significantly...]

"???" Chen Han sensed that something was wrong.

Moreover, something is very wrong.

This is the third time.

This is my first time praying at the Temple of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable to erect a new statue.

Today, for the second time, Xiao Ni was taken to the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable Hall to receive her aunt's blessing.

Now, for the third time, he came to the Hall of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable to burn incense and change clothes.

This all seems to be related to the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable's Great Hall!

Could it be that data packet (1) is related to cultivating immortality, and data packet (2) is also related to the divine path?
In the world of Shushan Swordsmen, besides the Emei Sect and other immortal cultivation sects, there are also many deities, such as the Lord of Dongting, the Water God of Junshan, and even the son of the Azure Emperor who was banished from heaven to the mortal world.

So here's the question: if that's really the case, what rank would the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable be in the world of Shushan Swordsmen?

I don’t know how abstract the game system will become if this data packet (2) is loaded.
