I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 171 The words of Patriarch Chen are not to be trusted!
In Taoism, there has always been an emphasis on offerings, which refers to a series of acts of dedication performed by Taoist believers to express their respect and piety towards deities and patriarchs, as well as to support Taoist temples and the practice of Taoist practitioners.

This includes human resources, material resources, and financial resources.

Common examples include donating money to repair temples, helping to print Buddhist books, and holding vegetarian feasts for the public, as well as participating in volunteer services in Taoist temples and other forms of human contribution.

In terms of material resources, the main offerings are items to the gods. On a daily basis, there are "five offerings," namely incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruit. On major festivals or celebrations, there are "ten offerings," which include tea, food, treasures, pearls, and clothing in addition to the "five offerings."

There is also the offering of various Taoist items or auspicious objects.

For example, two pieces of wood, two pieces of incense, and one tree are related items and auspicious objects.

The direction of financial resources is simple and requires no further explanation.

Furthermore, some believers, having received favors from a particular Taoist priest or having faith in his Taoist teachings, will make separate offerings to that priest each month in hopes of receiving blessings.

In ancient times, such offerings were more numerous.

For example, Shen Wansan, the famous richest man in the Ming Dynasty, supported Zhang Sanfeng. Therefore, people believed that he received good fortune from the Taoist priest Zhang Sanfeng and became the richest man.

Therefore, the practice of supporting Wudang Mountain and Zhang Sanfeng was very popular at that time.

To be realistic, like in Jin Yong's novels, a family that supported Zhang Sanfeng was massacred, and the Seven Heroes of Wudang went directly to their door and wiped them out.

The current blessing task triggered by the game system is that as long as someone from the Chen family offers two pieces of wood, two pieces of incense, and one tree, the task of "Heartfelt Blessings Arrive" is completed, and the believer who provides the power of their vows will have even more blessings under the laws of the Great Dao of Punishment.
Simply put, once the task is completed, the probability of winning a prize is higher for visitors who contributed their "willingness" to the lottery, even though it's still a mini-program lottery.

That would be truly reasonable and truly fair.

After all, tourists who make vows are more devout and naturally deserve extra blessings; they cannot receive the same blessings as other tourists.

The game system treats this lottery mini-program as the ultimate law. So, if the mini-program crashes one day, will the ultimate law be obliterated?
Just thinking about it makes me want to burst out laughing.

But what can be done?
The game system has a time travel bug; normally he should be in the Shushan game world right now.

This must be the true law of the Great Dao. It feels like this wave could take off completely in the game world.

There was nothing he could do in reality but to diligently manage the lottery app and ensure the proper offerings of the two pieces of wood, two incense sticks, and one tree.

After all, they still hope that the "Heart to Blessing" lottery app will be perfected, so that most of the winners in the future will be more devout people, which will be of great benefit to the Chen family in terms of both reputation and actual interests.

Next, Chen Han also recalled the relevant information in the Taoist sect about the two trees, two incense sticks, and one tree of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable.

The two woods should be peach wood and catalpa wood.

In Taoism, peach wood is believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune, and it is often used to make ritual implements.

Catalpa wood is considered an auspicious wood and is used in the construction of temples and other buildings, such as for making wooden fish, holy chalices, offering tables, and altars.

However, the wooden fish drum has now been contaminated and has been largely abandoned by Taoist sects.

These two types of wood are frequently used in the Taoist temples or related rituals of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

Taoist incense comes in many varieties and is associated with many legends.

The incense and sandalwood are likely related to the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

Agarwood is believed to have the effects of communicating with the divine and warding off evil spirits. In many old movies, this incense is used to catch zombies and ghosts. It is even said that when lit, it can keep ghosts away. Therefore, it is associated with exorcising demons and monsters.

This is a kind of incense that aligns with the functions of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

Sandalwood has a fragrant aroma and can create a solemn and sacred atmosphere, and it is often used in various rituals of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

As for the tree, it should be a viburnum tree.

The Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable was once reincarnated as a prince of a country because of the Qionghua Tree. After experiencing hardships, he attained the Dao and was enshrined as a god. Therefore, the Qionghua Tree and the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable have a close connection.

Therefore, as long as people make offerings to peach wood, catalpa wood, sandalwood, incense, and magnolia tree, then the task of bestowing blessings upon those who are truly devoted to the heart will be completed.

The problem is how to get others to support these things. Even someone like Mr. Liu, who is not short of money, would definitely do it if he asked. But to take the initiative to approach someone would seem mercenary.

Therefore, even when it comes to providing for someone, you have to make them take the initiative to do it in order to have class.

next to.

The junior sister and Xiao Mi had already added the lottery mini-program he had set up on their phones and started using it.

The two studied very seriously, after all, they had really put a lot of effort into this traditional Chinese style event.

Only after confirming that there were no problems did the junior sister say, "Senior brother, if there are no problems with the settings of this mini-program, then Xiao Mi and I will release the promotional video."

With that, she took Xiao Mi and left the kitchen.

At this time, the aroma of the medicinal food begins to spread, attracting people's taste buds.

Chen Han took out his phone to browse videos, check online news, and see how popular the Chen family was.

But the first video that popped up when he opened Douyin left him dumbfounded:
"Because I'm very traditional, I lived with my ex-boyfriend for 8 years; because I'm very kind, I only ask for a 1000 million yuan dowry when I go on blind dates!"

This is a clip from a matchmaking event, showing a woman demanding a dowry of tens of millions of yuan in front of countless people.

Chen Han felt there might be something wrong with his account. Yesterday, he was recommended a woman whose husband had brought home 5 to 6 yuan and she felt he wasn't good enough for her and wanted a divorce.

Today I'm recommending another kind-hearted fairy who feels she deserves a dowry of tens of millions.

Chen Han really wanted to curse.

Is it because he's too shrewish that people are pushing these kinds of videos to disgust him?
Or perhaps, these are all things that certain forces are stirring up trouble, deliberately trying to create antagonism and disrupt the social atmosphere?
Just then, a game notification appeared:
Recently, the demonic forces have become increasingly powerful. According to the messages transmitted back by various righteous people through the Spirit Mirror, the Blood Demon attracted an invasion from the demonic forces outside the realm while recovering from his injuries.

These extraterrestrial demonic forces may not be very strong, but they seem to have a great ability to bewitch people, influencing many and causing them to develop illusions.

Some people are clearly ordinary, yet they inexplicably fantasize that they are the most beautiful woman in the world and want to enter the palace to become the empress. Such delusions will cause chaos in the human world and make demonic energy grow faster.

The Shushan Immortal Sect is somewhat worried about this extraterrestrial demonic force...

"..." Chen Han was stunned for a moment when he saw the game prompt that suddenly appeared.

Could there really be someone pulling the strings behind all this?
However, he was powerless to do anything about it. After all, he was just the head of a small family. Even the Shushan Immortal Alliance was in dire straits, yet he couldn't come up with a solution.
This kind of extraterrestrial demonic power is not to be touched, so he quickly clicked "not interested" and then watched the video about the Chen family.

There was indeed a very lively video of a Mr. Chen.

It turns out it's about the boy who triggered the "minor punishment" incident yesterday; a tourist filmed and uploaded the video.

Title: "Master Chen says it's just a public service advertisement promoting good deeds, and that we should believe in science. What do you think?"

The video begins with a girl's voice saying, "I initially started paying attention to Chen's because of Xiao Mi. I really like how she looks in Hanfu. It was also because she was promoting traditional Chinese culture at Chen's that I decided to visit. Since I had my annual leave, I even booked a feng shui room for a week!"

"I must say, the Chen family's feng shui room was really comfortable to stay in, and this video is about the amazing thing that happened to me at the Chen family last night."

"My best friend and I were strolling through the ancient buildings of the Chen family when we were suddenly drawn to a little boy crying. When we went over to take a look, we found out that a bird had pooped into the little boy's mouth."

"This is really..."

"But what happened next gave me the creeps. The little boy's mother fed him water to rinse his mouth, and he unfortunately choked on it and swallowed it along with the bird's droppings."

"Moreover, because he was angry with the waiter and tried to kick him, he actually stumbled and fell to the ground, crying loudly."

"This kid seems to be incredibly unlucky, but suddenly I remembered something. The Chen family head sent out a video saying that the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable bestowed a celestial artifact that enveloped the Chen family, and those who do evil or commit evil within the Chen family will be punished."

"This little boy is so unlucky, it makes me start to overthink things. The key point is that at this moment, the head of the Chen family appeared and pointed out decisively that evildoers cannot come to the Chen family."

"It means the little boy did something wrong. Here are the original words of the Chen family head..."

Chen Han saw in the video a compilation of what he had said to the little boy's mother the day before. Then came the woman's surprised voice: "The child's mother was angry at the time and even said she would sue the Chen family head for defamation, but the next moment she was slapped in the face by her own child, who immediately confessed..."

The video immediately followed the child's arrogant words of self-confession.

He's such an arrogant kid.

The girl's voice rang out again: "What do you all think after seeing this? It just so happens that the Chen family head posted that video, that a child did something wrong, and that the Chen family is so unlucky, and in the end, the mother and child were even given a clump of food by birds."

"I have to suspect that the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable's punishment is meant to make these people unlucky after they join the Chen family..."

At the end of the video, the girl remarked, "If this is a coincidence, then it's truly too much of a coincidence. But the head of the Chen family told me, 'Beautiful lady, believe in science. That's just a public service video promoting good deeds.' What do you think about this?"

Chen Han understood; the video was taken by the beautiful woman who had asked him questions last night.

He opened the video's comment section and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the most liked comment: "How else can you look at it? Even the Chen family head called you a beauty, so you must be a beauty!"

I imagine that girl, after seeing this video, is grinning from ear to ear, the kind of grin that's harder to control than an AK.

"Damn, when I saw that video of the Chen family head before, I just thought it was an abstract video, but now it seems that it's not so simple..."

"If... I mean if, this isn't a coincidence, then..."

"It must be a coincidence, right? Even Patriarch Chen himself said he believes in science (just kidding)!"

"Those guys who were thinking of testing the law in that video before, hurry up and go verify it..."

"..."

Looking at the video comments, Chen Han could see that many people were surprised and had started to connect the video to his previous posts.

If a few more people break the law after this, then when he claims to believe in science and that his public service videos are promoting good deeds, probably no one will believe him anymore.

However, his stance will always be: believe in science.

Several girls who love traditional Chinese style also saw the video.

When they gathered to watch the video, they subconsciously glanced at the lobster, after all, she had broken the law herself.

Seeing this video now confirms it even more.

This is the third such case.

The Chen family truly possesses that mysterious power.

Inside the Chen's Tourist Police Station, Huang Xin was resting after patrolling when he came across this video and immediately stood up.

He had witnessed many of the Chen family's strange and wonderful things and knew that some things in the Chen family were real.

If we keep an eye on those unlucky guys...

Shangyuan Village.

Mingdi is currently paying the most attention to videos related to the Chen family, since some videos can be used to quickly gain popularity.

This is also his way of survival as a demonic and wicked person.

He simply couldn't get a chance to participate in the video of doing bad things and getting into trouble at the Chen family's place. Was he supposed to go to the Chen family's place himself and do bad things to test the law?
That's a disgraceful thing to do.

In the video's storyline, he's a demonic sorcerer who commits all sorts of evil deeds, but reality and the video sometimes need to be separated.

The key is that he believed the Chen family possessed mysterious powers, and knowing this, he still deliberately did it—wasn't that courting death?
However, he suddenly remembered something and subconsciously looked at a house in the village where the tourist who had fallen badly and bought iodine was staying.

If that person fell so badly at Chen's place, their phone was completely destroyed, and their elbow bled so much...

The other party must have done something bad.

If that's the case, he might be able to ride the wave of this news. Thinking this, he immediately took out his phone and opened WeChat...

at this time.

In Shangyuan Village, a man with bandages wrapped around his hand and an old cell phone was also watching this video, with another cell phone with a broken screen next to him.

As the video data continued to rise, he smiled with satisfaction. Judging from the comments section, it was clear that many people believed in Chen's special power.

He didn't waste those Dou+ votes he secretly cast. If this kind of thing happens a few more times, the news that doing bad things will bring bad luck to the Chen family will spread.

It'll be fine then...

……

In the kitchen.

After watching videos for a while, Chen Han went to check on the rapeseed flowers planted in the spiritual field. The flowers were already very lush and were emitting the unique fragrance of rapeseed flowers.

Normal rapeseed flowers bloom for 20-30 days, but these special rapeseed seeds given by the Fairy of the Hundred Flowers Palace have a growth rate of +1 and a shorter blooming period of only half.

The main benefit is the rapeseed harvest, as it increases both yield and oil content by 1.

However, because of the increased growth rate, rapeseed can be planted twice a year. In terms of tourism, the flowering period is still the same, just in two separate periods.

He then looked at the medicinal herbs he had planted. Many of their petals had already fallen, meaning their flowering period was over. He could then continue watering them with the spiritual plant dew to help them grow quickly.

Afterwards, he strolled around the Chen family's place and then went back to his uncle's kitchen to get some water.

After finishing, he asked his uncle to bring him a wine jar for making medicinal liquor, as well as some medicinal herbs, to his yard.

The bones of the Leizhu spirit rat can be used to make wine, so they shouldn't be wasted.

The bones are a bit small, so they can only be used to make small jars of liquor.

However, based on past experience, the Dog Demon King would also offer him meat from the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat, so there would still be bones to soak.

After that, the amount of bone wine should be quite large.

He had already prepared medicinal wine twice before, so he was quite familiar with the process. Soon, a small jar of Leizhu Lingshu Bone Wine was ready, and then the jar was sealed.

Finally, he put the small jar of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine into the warehouse and saw the note:
[Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine: This bone wine is made by soaking the bones of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rats that live in the Thunder Bamboo Forest. After a period of fermentation, the bone wine will have special effects: Long-term consumption will strengthen leg muscles by +2!]

Obviously, this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine won't work immediately; it will take time.

The phone rang; it was Mr. Liu calling. Hearing what was being said, he couldn't help but admire how fast this man was.

After hanging up the phone, he left Chen's place and met Mr. Liu, who was accompanied by a number of people. Chen Kai, the cultural and tourism leader, was an old acquaintance, as was Section Chief Ma.

There were also a dozen or so middle-aged men who were initially arrogant but later became obsequious and fawning towards Mr. Liu and Chen Kai.

"Master Chen!" Mr. Liu greeted him with a broad smile as he saw him come out.

Chen Kai followed closely behind: "Patriarch Chen, we meet again."

"Mr. Liu, Director Chen." Chen Han greeted them with a smile, but at that moment, a sudden siren rang out, and several police cars sped into Shangyuan Village.

Something must have happened.

Tourists around also noticed this scene, and many ran over to find out what was going on. However, many of them soon showed surprise.

Is it really as the video says?
