I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 106 is just morning prayers! Brothers, let's make some money!

Once all the spiritual energy absorbed into his body had been refined, Chen Han opened his eyes and saw that a group of tourists had gathered around him and were taking pictures of him.

It seems we need to get my uncle to hurry up with the new fence project.

After returning to the Chen family with Youfu and Youcai, he went to his uncle's courtyard to prepare medicinal cuisine.

noon.

When his junior sister, Xiao Mi, his uncle, Uncle Big Dog, and Uncle Shuisheng came over for the medicinal meal, his junior sister greeted him with a big smile and said, "Senior brother, you're famous again. Someone filmed you sitting cross-legged by the three elm trees early this morning, and they even said you have a cultivation technique and are practicing there."

"???" Chen Han knew that someone was filming him while he was cultivating in the pavilion, but how could a video of him sitting there go viral?
The key is that there really is a technique involved!

He took out his phone and checked, and it was indeed true. A video titled "The Chen Family Head Seems to Be Cultivating" had garnered over 5 likes in a short time after being uploaded.

After reading the comments, he understood why the video had gone viral:

"Holy crap, my legs went numb after I tried sitting cross-legged for a bit, but this Chen family head can sit cross-legged for so long."

"It is absolutely impossible for a normal person to sit cross-legged for so long without moving!"

"Patriarch Chen's movements really do resemble cultivation, as if he has entered a meditative state!"

"..."

Chen Han felt that once this video came out, many tourists would probably come specifically to see him cultivate tomorrow.

Xiao Mi then said, "Everyone thought you were practicing cultivation, but Master Chen and several other Taoist priests have clarified the situation for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Han searched and opened the homepage of the Taoist Master Chen's account. Sure enough, he found a newly posted video: "That's the head of the Chen family doing his morning prayers. Don't be too surprised, everyone. Believe in science."

Master Chen's video also went viral, garnering over 3 likes in a short period.

As the video played, Master Chen said, "If you are not very familiar with Taoist culture, you can take a look at the relevant Taoist materials. Master Chen is doing his morning prayers."

“Our Taoist morning prayers are usually related to the Taoist concept of ‘following the laws of Heaven and Earth,’ and generally begin at sunrise, that is, at Mao Shi (5:00-7:00).

"This hour is considered the time when the yang energy of heaven and earth is first born, which is in line with the Taoist practice principle of 'welcoming the yang energy and purifying the body and mind' in the morning."

"It is very rare for Patriarch Chen to be able to enter a meditative state unaffected by external things. Even Taoist masters who have not cultivated for a long time cannot do it. Therefore, everyone should not be too surprised by Patriarch Chen's morning prayers. Everyone should believe in science."

Chen Han was truly gratified to see someone helping him fix the bugs. He immediately gave Master Chen's video a thumbs up and commented: "Master is right, we should believe in science."

Chen Han, the person in question, liked and commented on the video, which naturally caused the number of views for Master Chen's video to increase even faster. When many people saw this, they went to the video "Master Chen Seems to Be Cultivating" to explain it to others.

Having a penchant for teaching is a common problem for most people. When others don't know something, but you do, you can't help but want to correct them when you see them talking nonsense or being misled.

Inside the Chen Family Visitor Center restaurant, a couple was having a meal when the girlfriend suddenly said, "Honey, it turns out that what the Chen family head was doing wasn't some kind of cultivation practice, but rather his morning prayers. A Taoist priest has already explained it to us, and the Chen family head has even given it a thumbs up and acknowledged it."

My boyfriend also picked up his phone and looked at it. He said in surprise, "Oh, I see. I've always seen Taoist priests talking about morning prayers on TV. So this is what the Chen family head's morning prayers are like."

His girlfriend couldn't help but tease him: "It's quite funny. We ordinary people always think of the Taoist practices as mysterious, but the Taoists keep reminding us to believe in science."

"It's a case of reversed perspectives." The boyfriend also found it funny.

Perhaps that mythical beast was too terrifying, so even in the new era, Taoist sects have to start talking about science.

...

Chen Han put down his phone and didn't forget to instruct his uncle: "Uncle, please take care of rebuilding the fence around the three old elm trees as soon as possible. That way, tourists won't be able to get too close, and once the bamboo branches of the fence are fully grown, they won't be able to see inside."

"Okay." Chen Lin nodded, then remarked with a touch of感慨, "But Xiao Han, when did you develop the habit of doing early morning classes?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Han thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, if you can get up before 5 a.m., you can also sit together in the pavilion. It will be beneficial."

The spiritual energy washes over them, and both the ox and the dog, who are blessed with good fortune and wealth, will feel the benefits. My junior sister and uncle should also feel the benefits when they go there.

However, the "Basic Qi Cultivation Method of the Nine Heavens Mystic Scripture" cannot be taught, at least not now. Even if it were to be taught, it would have to wait until he obtains a more advanced cultivation method or achieves a breakthrough in his cultivation realm.

Xiaoyu and Chen Lin were clearly taken aback by his words, realizing that his early morning visit to the pavilion wasn't for morning prayers, but for some other reason.
Moreover, since he said there were benefits, it must be something special.

Chen Lin asked instinctively, "Xiao Han, is it also because of the feng shui formation underground in the family?"

Xiaoyu and the others also looked at Chen Han with curiosity.

He smiled and said, "You could say that!"

When something happens that cannot be explained, there is no way to explain it; everything has its own family feng shui arrangement.

The key point is that my uncle and his family have firmly believed that there is a feng shui formation underground in the family, so this is an established fact.

Xiaoyu, Chen Lin, and the others were indeed curious and expectant, wanting to know what was so special about that place.

So, I need to get up a little earlier tomorrow morning.

After Chen Han and everyone finished their medicinal meal, Chen Dagou's phone suddenly rang.

After answering the phone, he said in surprise, "You're almost there? You've agreed on a meeting place, right? Great, the head of the family and I will be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately reported to Chen Han: "Xiao Han, the fish has taken the bait."

"So fast?" Chen Han naturally knew what a fish was.

That means the monster-luring strategy worked; the demonic cultivators are coming to drop spirit stones on him.

Chen Dagou explained, "I smashed a few more bluestone slabs in front of those two thieves, and I even had the old man who had broken his leg the day before yesterday come over and lie down, saying that he was injured while they were stealing. The other party was so scared that his face turned white, and he cooperated very actively. I tricked the other party into coming over overnight."

Upon hearing this, Chen Han asked again, "Has the communication with Captain Li been completed?"

Chen Dagou nodded: "Yeah, they're just two petty thieves. Just tell them not to cause any big trouble."

Neither of them spoke too bluntly, since it couldn't be said openly.

It's not surprising that Li Rui gave them face, since they had essentially given the other party credit for nothing.

In short, there are no problems as long as communication is good.

The two petty thieves were indeed easy for the Chen family to handle. Uncle Big Dog's trick of having the injured old man stage an accident to extort money was really underhanded.

Seriously, this trick is something even a thief would be afraid of, let alone someone with a fortune.

Chen Han led his men directly to the furnace room, where they saw three burly men and four old men guarding it.

The three burly men were newly recruited members of the Demon Extermination Hall, and one of the four old men was holding a magical artifact, the Spirit Cudgel.

Three of them were naturally the three family elders stationed here. The one holding the magic weapon, the Spirit Cudgel, was the more powerful elder, who was specifically there to suppress the two demonic cultivators.

Under his imposing presence, the two demonic cultivators sat there, more obedient than the dogs surrounding them.

When Chen Han arrived, the members of the Chen family all respectfully addressed him as "Patriarch."

The older members of the Chen family were, the more respect they showed to him, the head of the family, as older people generally had stronger clan ties. Chen Han nodded in response, then smiled and looked at the two thieves: "What's going on?"

One of the thieves quickly explained, "Master Chen, they have already told the other party to contact us again when they arrive at Shangyuan Village. I will tell them the location then. If we tell them the location all at once, it will arouse suspicion."

"Let's go, get ready!" Chen Han instructed Chen Dagou.

Those lured here this time are all criminals, and one of them is wanted by the police. So, for safety reasons, there can't be too many tourists in Chen's place.

Therefore, it could only be in a relatively remote and vacant house in Shangyuan Village.

The homeowner bought a house in the county and left the house vacant since he didn't live in the village.

The location was naturally suggested by the two dog thieves, because this kind of place is what a gang of thieves would choose when they want to pull off a heist.

The ropes binding the two thieves had already been untied. They followed Chen Han and the others towards the outside of the Chen family compound, not daring to have any thought of running away. They were not only afraid that the stray dog ​​would bite their testicles, but also because the old man with the cane was too terrifying.

The other person came in and lay down at their feet.

How long has it been since the theft attempt failed?
Once this old man gets attached to them, it's unimaginable what will happen.

The problem is they can't explain themselves; there are so many people in the Chen family.

Do you really expect the police and judges to believe that these two thieves have prior convictions?
Seriously, the Chen family and their ilk are too evil. You could have at least beaten them up, but instead they resorted to such heretical and evil methods as a dog biting a man's testicles and an old man lying at their feet.

The harm caused by psychological intimidation is far greater than the physical pain.

In Shangyuan Village, on the second floor of the village chief's house, Mingdi sat by the window and pointed his phone at the Chen family's gate.

He has already decorated this room specially, and the environment is quite nice. It's comfortable to stay in and can be used for live streaming. It's much better than the room given to his assistant.

Today he plans to film a video and do a live stream, as he hasn't done one for two days.

Just then, he saw a group of people coming out from the Chen family's side, heading towards Shangyuan Village. The one leading them was none other than the Chen family head, followed by a group of dogs wearing armor.

Tourists around witnessed this scene and took out their phones to take pictures of the Chen family head and his group.

Mingdi looked at the group of dogs. The little mongrel wearing armor at the front was none other than his brother, the Dog Demon King.

Why did he hesitate? The footage had already arrived.
He immediately turned on his phone to record, and started recording as the Chen family head led his men toward the village: "After a period of arduous work, I have infiltrated the Chen family's territory and gained the trust of the rogue cultivators who are affiliated with the Chen family, giving me a greater chance to launch a sneak attack on the Chen family."

"But today I saw the Dog Demon King brothers. It was already wearing the armor that the Chen family made for it, which restricted its freedom. Its eyes had lost their luster, and it had completely become the Chen family's lackey."

"No... I will definitely destroy the Chen family and rescue the Dog Demon King brothers. I have already gathered some demons. The Chen family head obviously has some purpose in coming here. It's a good opportunity to send these demons to investigate the Chen family head's situation."

After filming, Mingdi sat down in front of the computer and began editing the video.

As for gathering sorcerers? He didn't even know where the sorcerers were; it was purely for the sake of the plot.

The video was very easy to shoot, edited quickly, and then uploaded directly.

The account "He Mingdi (Mo Dao Yao Ren)" has recently gained a lot of traffic, and many people have seen the videos it posts.

His unexpected transformation into a demonic sorcerer truly marked a turning point in his journey to becoming an internet celebrity.

the other side.

Chen Han also followed Chen Dagou to the house controlled by the authorities in Shangyuan Village.

The two thieves stood trembling to the side, while the little mongrel and its pack of dogs kept a close watch on them, following them wherever they went.

I really didn't dare to move an inch.

Moreover, they suspect that the dog is truly sentient, otherwise how could it understand these things?
Chen Daguo and Chen Lin were already making preparations, and they were holding tools in their hands.

Xiaoyu, who came to join in the fun, brought her own sword.

Chen Han took out his phone and started recording: "By capturing the two demonic cultivators, we have successfully lured the remaining demonic cultivators and set up an ambush, waiting for them to fall into the trap."

The two thieves stared blankly at the scene.

They finally understood that the Chen family head didn't take them seriously at all, as if he was just using them as material for filming.

They even suspected that the Chen family head had them lure that gang over just to film a video.

Isn't this neurosis?
Do you see any internet celebrity making videos that use gangs of thieves as material, and then handing them over to their uncle after filming?
Your uncle might just award you a Good Citizen Award.

But aren't you treating these thieves like Japanese people?

After taking a video, Chen Han took out a few toothpicks from his pocket, just in case.

Not long after, the thief's phone rang, and he immediately answered: "You've arrived, right? In Shangyuan Village. Let's share our location."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately reported to Chen Han: "Patriarch Chen, they have arrived. I'll share my location with them."

"Do it!" Chen Han nodded.

At this moment, a minivan slowly drove into Shangyuan Village.

The van was very dilapidated, with paint peeling off, yet it was crammed with five or six people.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Wu Wei looked at the shared location sent via WeChat and said excitedly, "It's just ahead. This time, let's pull off a big heist and find a chance to have some fun in Thailand."

At first, he was dismissive of this offer, because the other party was just a petty thief and had nothing to do with their gang of thieves.

However, the deal the other party made really appealed to him. That Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea costs 24 yuan a tube in the province, and even then, it's not guaranteed that you can buy it. He had a customer who said that the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea could be stolen, so he accepted it according to the rules of the trade.

That premium stuff costs 240 yuan per kilogram, so stealing 10 kilograms would be 24 million yuan...

Selling according to industry practice would still be a huge profit.

Just thinking about it makes me want to do it. As long as I steal enough Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, I can live a carefree life in one fell swoop.

As for the fact that the Chen family head and his people knew martial arts? They chose to do it in the dead of night, when everyone else was already asleep. Besides, they had several watermelon knives in their car, which were far superior to small daggers.

No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.

They unleash a chaotic, random slashing technique and ask the other party if they're scared.
Soon, the van drove into an empty room in Shangyuan Village, where the shared location overlapped.

"This is it," Wu Wei said. After the car stopped, he led his men out and into the house.

As soon as he entered, he was stunned. There were many people inside, each carrying tools.

"You called so many people too?" Wu Wei asked instinctively, his brows furrowing slightly.

If there are too many people, then each person will get less in the end, and too many people can actually be a problem.

But then he sensed something was wrong. The young man looked familiar. Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the door behind him slam shut.
