I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 159 This calming talisman is really useful!
Liu Ye realized that it might be the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable descending, and felt even more fortunate than others to have the opportunity to come into such close contact with this mysterious phenomenon.

This made him lower his head even further, becoming even more devout.

After listening to his aunt's words, Chen Han handed her the drawn prayer and calming talismans and instructed her, "Aunt, place these calming talismans on that altar."

The aunt took the talisman, looked at the altar he pointed to, then walked over thoughtfully and placed the blessing and peace talisman on the altar.

She had already gained complete faith in this young head of the family; he was the one chosen by the Heavenly Venerable.

Therefore, his words must have a deeper meaning.

Seeing that his aunt had placed the prayer and calming talisman on the special altar, Chen Han instructed again, "Aunt, now recite the calming mantra three times to report to the Heavenly Venerable for blessings. After that, perform a calming and blessing ceremony for Mr. Liu and give him a calming talisman."

"Okay." Knowing that the head of the family had a deeper meaning, the aunt sat cross-legged in front of the prayer cushion in front of the offering table and began to devoutly recite the prayer talisman for blessings and peace of mind.

My aunt's chanting skills are very solid, after all, she has served in the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable Hall for more than 40 years.

After she finished reciting the calming mantra three times, Chen Han also received a game notification at the same time:
Congratulations! Your special altar blessing and tranquility talisman blessing for the day is complete on the 13th of the month!

As Chen Han received the prompt, he was also surprised to see the changes in the prayer and calming talisman on the special altar.

After Auntie finished reciting the calming mantra three times, the effect was triggered, and the talismans drawn on those prayer and calming talismans started to change from vermilion to purple very quickly.

Does this mean the talisman has been imbued with divine power?

In Taoism, purple represents divine power, and also symbolizes nobility and transcendence. Therefore, only high-ranking Taoist masters or those with profound Taoist practice can wear purple Taoist robes.

However, the number of magical arts possessed by those Taoist priests dressed in purple robes is something that ordinary people cannot know.

He picked up a calming talisman, put it in the storage room, and checked the information:
【Blessing and Tranquilizing Talisman: This is a special blessing and tranquilizing talisman. After being blessed, wearing it will bring +1 to mental peace, +1 to sleep quality, and +1 to mental calm.

Notes: 1. Taoist calming talismans are effective for one year, with their power gradually weakening over time. 2. The validity period is also affected by the user's virtue; if the wearer commits evil deeds or becomes defiled, the talisman will expire prematurely!

Clearly, this is the final state of the blessing and tranquility talisman.

This simple talisman was imbued with divine power, and thus became completely different.

The aunt held a whisk and gently stroked Liu Ye's head, performing a calming and blessing ritual for him.

With a devout expression, Liu Ye listened to the instructions and kowtowed!
Finally, the prayer ceremony ended. Auntie asked Liu Ye to get up and wait a moment, then took out a small lucky bag from the incense table drawer next to the offering table.

Most of the talismans used in Taoism are made of paper and are easily damaged. Therefore, they are specially placed in a small yellow cloth bag, which is just the right size to hold a folded talisman.

This small cloth bag is also called a lucky bag. Of course, lucky bags do not only refer to this kind of small cloth bag. There are also special lucky bags for praying for blessings and lucky bags for offering incense, etc.

Furthermore, talismans cannot be placed in lucky bags arbitrarily; they require special folding.

When Auntie arrived at the altar where the calming talisman was placed, she couldn't contain her emotions when she saw it again. She had placed the talisman herself, so the color of the talisman's patterns was clearly visible.

This talisman is different.

She subconsciously picked up a talisman, and the moment she held it in her hand, the emotion in her eyes intensified, and she became more and more devout as she carefully folded the talisman.

To fold a talisman, first place it with the side containing the characters facing up and the talisman head facing down. Start folding from the talisman head, then fold the bottom left corner to the upper right to create a point. Next, fold the bottom right corner to the upper left to form a triangle...

Chen Han watched from the side. He could also fold talismans, but he wasn't as skilled at it.

The aunt was also very skilled at folding. In no time, she folded a blessing and calming talisman and put it into a small cloth bag. Then she walked towards Liu Ye and bowed, saying, "Believer, this is a calming talisman bestowed upon you by the Heavenly Venerable."

Liu Ye hurriedly and respectfully went to receive the calming talisman.

Even though he already had some guesses in his mind, or had already made up his mind, his eyes widened slightly when he took the calming talisman.

In that instant, he felt a sense of mental calm and tranquility.

Although it doesn't have the same feeling as listening to chanting scriptures before, it's continuous. As long as he carries it with him, he can always feel it, and he can even take it out of the Chen family.

If one could be in this wonderful state all the time, it would be incredibly comfortable and intoxicating.

This truly is a blessing bestowed online by the Heavenly Venerable!

Liu Ye is truly lucky.

From now on, I will definitely be a loyal believer of the Heavenly Venerable.

Chen Han then reminded him, "Mr. Liu, this calming talisman is a blessing bestowed by the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable and carries divine power. You must not be immoral or do evil deeds. If you are tainted by the divine power, the karma will dissipate, and you will also be blasphemed and burdened with karmic debts, with ominous consequences..."

Liu Ye was in high spirits when he heard these words and his body trembled involuntarily.

Yes, the Heavenly Venerable bestowed blessings, which gave this calming talisman such an effect. However, if one does evil, the Heavenly Venerable will find out, and the divine power will disappear, so the calming talisman will naturally lose its effect.

Blasphemy and the karmic burden he would be burdened with made him swallow hard; the thought was terrifying.

Once certain entities are identified, or even after contact with them has been made, the saying "There are gods watching from above" will be amplified infinitely.

Especially the ominous sign mentioned by the head of the Chen family.

Although he didn't go into details, the more he says, the more terrifying it must be.

Liu Ye thought for a moment and quickly assured him, "Patriarch Chen, rest assured, I am already a believer of the Heavenly Venerable, and I will definitely follow the Heavenly Venerable's teachings and do good rather than evil."

Chen Jing had been away from home for a long time and didn't know much about the clan. His biggest impression of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Hall was that people would come here to worship during festivals when they returned to the village.

At that time, everyone regarded it as a gathering activity, just to have some fun, and no one thought that the Heavenly Venerable Hall would have such an extraordinary function.

In particular, this Mr. Liu is clearly not an ordinary person; otherwise, the county leaders would not have accompanied him in that way for his investment.

Now, this person is so devout and humble in this Heavenly Venerable Hall. This is definitely not a case of being fooled, and the other party cannot be a fool.

If you think this kind of person is stupid, then you should think about your own worth and why they are so wealthy while you are not.

Outside, Chu Ping and Chen Kai, along with their men, were keeping a close eye on the scene inside the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable's Hall. They exchanged somewhat bewildered glances.

In their eyes, it was the elder of the Chen family who was performing some actions for Mr. Liu, and these actions were no different from those of the Taoist priests outside when they were performing prayers.

In short, there was nothing mystical about it; it was all very ordinary. Even the act of patting Mr. Chen's head with a whisk was nothing unusual.

Chen Han naturally saw the two people outside as well.

After thinking for a moment, he said to his aunt, "Aunt, please fold two more calming talismans and give them to the two gentlemen outside the main hall. They have provided great help to the development of our Chen family."

Auntie glanced outside. She had been in the main hall the whole time and didn't know who these people were, but she had to do as the head of the family ordered.

Soon, two more calming talismans were folded, placed in a small lucky bag, and handed to the head of the family.

Chen Han smiled and took the two calming talismans to the entrance of the main hall, handing them to Chu Ping and Chen Kai: "Gentlemen, this is a calming talisman. It has the effect of calming the mind and promoting tranquility, and it can also help with sleep. As a token of my gratitude for your help to the Chen family, I present it to you!"

Chu Ping and Chen Kai instinctively wanted to refuse, feeling it was inappropriate to accept such a thing. However, when the Chen family head placed the calming talisman in their hands, they both saw an uncontrollable shock in each other's eyes.

The moment they touched the calming talisman, they felt a strange sensation. Their mental state seemed to become calm, and they experienced an indescribable tranquility within.

You can't be wrong about that.

It appeared abruptly when I came into contact with the calming talisman.

Chu Ping tried placing the calming talisman in Chen Kai's hand, and the feeling disappeared instantly.

Chen Kai seemed to understand his intention and followed suit, placing the two coins in Chu Ping's hand. He felt the same way, and the feeling vanished instantly.

So, this calming talisman is actually effective?

The next moment, the two of them each took one, abandoning the idea of ​​returning the calming talisman.

Faced with such a miracle, it would be difficult for anyone to remain calm.

As they looked at the statue of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable inside the main hall, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

If in the past, many things in the mystical places in the county seemed ethereal and unattainable for them, now that they held the Chen family's calming talisman in their own hands, they could truly feel its mystique.

This was the first time in their lives that they had experienced that there were truly some mysterious things in the world.

The impact they are experiencing now is unimaginable.

After the calming ceremony ended, Liu Ye naturally came out and respectfully bowed to the Chen family head.

This is what he just learned from the female elder of the Chen family.

He didn't know if he was learning correctly, but it was a testament to his devotion.

Seeing the calming talismans in Chu Ping and Chen Kai's hands, he exclaimed with emotion, "You two leaders are truly lucky; these are treasures personally blessed by the Heavenly Venerable."

Chu Ping and Chen Kai exchanged a glance; their positions made it difficult for them to respond to such a statement.

Chen Kai tentatively asked, "Mr. Liu, what happened in the main hall just now?"

Liu Ye chuckled and said, "Director Chen, it's just a simple calming ritual, a way to seek psychological comfort. What could possibly happen? We should trust science."

"..." Chen Kai now finds the words "believe in science" truly absurd.

This statement is absolutely true in other places.

So many tourists visit those Taoist temples where people worship and pray for blessings; who would think there's anything special about it?
If one didn't know about Chen's amazing abilities beforehand, other unsuspecting tourists might have glanced at it and thought it was all fake, muttering, "What era are we living in? People still fall for this kind of nonsense?"

Or rather, those places of Taoism are like the Chen family. Their worship and rituals may seem insignificant, but they actually have something within them, which most people simply don't know.
After all, not everyone can receive such a calming talisman as a gift, and they will never know these mysteries.

Chu Ping felt that this topic was not suitable to continue, so he quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Liu, now that we have visited the Chen family head, why don't we go to our county and show you some hospitality?"

We still need to latch onto this guy's coattails, but for now, with the Chen family involved, his investment should be secure.

This will stabilize their county; with this investment, it will definitely help in attracting investment.

The county once again benefited from the advantages brought by the Chen family.

Liu Ye doesn't care about these things now, after all, the investment has already been made.

Moreover, he understood the mentality of these people. In terms of investment, he could easily invest in a small county like Linhe County, or even a city.

After Mr. Liu and his group left, another group of tourists entered the main hall to offer incense, and the auntie went over to guide them.

Because nowadays, Taoist temples are open and free for tourists to kowtow and offer incense, without any rules, precautions, or taboos.

However, on Chen's side, Auntie would still guide her to offer incense correctly. To be precise, she was more devoted to Taoism and more responsible than the Taoist priests of those sacred Taoist sites.

After his aunt finished her work, Chen Han called her over.

"Master, what are your orders?" Auntie asked.

Chen Han said, "Auntie, you've noticed it too. The altar has been blessed. As long as you place this calming talisman on it and recite the calming mantra three times, the talisman will be blessed. Moreover, it can be blessed 30 times a day."

He didn't hide anything from his aunt and even made a clean break with her.

He could tell that his aunt's faith in the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable was unmatched by anyone in the clan.

After serving her for 40 years, she could accept being told these mystical things directly.

Sure enough, when Auntie heard this, her face was clearly excited, and she kowtowed to the statue of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Lord.

So, after she got up, Chen Han said again, "Auntie, these 30 calming talismans are to be given to true believers. You need to know how to bestow blessings and how to determine believers. Just reserve a few each day."

"In addition, we will recruit a few more people from the clan to help you maintain the main hall. You will serve as the elder of the main hall, and each person in the clan will receive 7000 coins a month in offerings. Aunt, your offerings will be increased to 1 coins. After the news of the calming talisman spreads, I believe the Heavenly Venerable will be very busy."

He entrusted this matter entirely to his aunt. Despite her age, she had worked in the main hall for over 40 years and knew exactly how to receive and distinguish believers. Without a game system providing a special function, he was certainly far inferior to his aunt.

Another aspect is recruiting people from within the clan. This is not something that everyone in the clan is suitable for. At the very least, one must have a devout heart, be knowledgeable about Taoist matters, and possess strong execution and practical skills in various rituals.

My aunt was quite clear about this, after all, 40 years ago, most of the Chen clan members were still farming in the village, and there were many kinds of ceremonies.

Just like many elderly people in rural areas, they are very familiar with festivals, sacrifices, and customs. Whenever there are such events in the village, they will ask them for help in handling them.

Although the Chen family has a head family, these kinds of ceremonies are all participated in by the whole clan. There are also some elderly people who belong to this type. Now, we can have the aunts and grandmothers come to maintain the main hall.

Otherwise, as word spreads about the calming talisman, not only tourists but also many Taoist believers who come from afar will arrive, and the main hall will definitely be very busy.

"Don't worry, Master!" Auntie agreed. The family's return to its former prosperity was exactly what she wanted to see.

Chen Han looked at Xiao Mi, who was serving him. She was calm now, after all, Chen Han's cancer had been greatly improved by the blessing of the Heavenly Venerable, so what else could she not accept?
He also picked up a prayer and calming talisman, folded it, then put it in a small cloth bag and handed it to Xiao Mi: "This is for you!"

Xiao Mi took the calming talisman and said in surprise, "I can feel the effect as soon as I touch it."

"Okay!" Chen Han nodded.

After Chen Han took Xiao Mi away from the main hall, Auntie remembered something: she hadn't yet asked about the calming talisman drawn by the talisman.

However, she didn't bother the head of the family, but instead began to study the calming talismans on her own.

Because she was very skilled at drawing talismans.

After all, over the past 40 years, Chen has used many talismans, all of which she was responsible for drawing, so she has a lot of confidence in them.

So, after studying the calming talisman for a while, she understood it and immediately went to get the tools such as cinnabar and talisman paper to prepare to draw the calming talisman.

She was also the most devout follower of the Celestial Venerable, believing that what the head of the family could do, she could also do.
