I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 192: Possibly over 150 years old! Finally playing in the mud!
When Ding Lei opened the video, she saw that it was being filmed on an old Taoist priest.

She remembered that old Taoist priest.

I ran into Chen's family when I went to the orchard in Shangyuan Village with my best friend He Yuan.

At the time, I assumed the other party was a senior member of the Chen family and didn't think much of it.

In the video, a girl's shocked voice can be heard: "He...he...looks just like the person in the photo..."

The shocked sound, and the scene of the camera panning to capture the photo, also shocked Ding Lei.

The old Taoist priest in the photo really did look just like the one in the video.

"Holy shit..." Ding Lei couldn't help but swear, shocked like a tomboy.

He Yuan was also filled with disbelief. Who would have thought that the old Taoist priest they encountered was actually the person in the photo in the Chen family's exhibition hall?

Continuing to watch the video, we see the old Taoist priest leave, suddenly flashing out of the corridor window. By the time the camera catches up, the old Taoist priest has completely disappeared in that short time.

This speed... it's probably like the Chen family head's, capable of scaling walls and rooftops, or even stronger.

Ding Lei and He Yuan could no longer remain calm and hurriedly left the room, heading towards the Chen family's exhibition hall.

When they arrived, they found that a large number of people had already gathered at the exhibition hall, all of whom had obviously watched the video and come to check the situation.

As they approached, they overheard a discussion:
"This photo was obviously taken during the Republic of China era, before the war, which is more than 100 years ago. Considering the old Taoist priest's age, he's probably over 150 years old. Is this really true?"

"If that old Taoist priest is really the person in the photo, there might be more than that. He doesn't look much different now than he did back then. Who knows how old he was back then?"

"I think it's impossible. Could it be someone cosplaying as an imposter?"

"..."

Listening to these discussions, Ding Lei and He Yuan also felt incredulous, recalling the scene when they met that old Taoist priest.

The other person really did have a somewhat otherworldly and ethereal air about them.

Considering all the amazing things about the Chen family, it's possible that they had a hidden, highly skilled senior figure among them.

Online, videos about hidden masters within the Chen family are becoming increasingly popular. The Chen family's traditional Chinese culture event has just ended, and the family's popularity remains high. These videos are sure to attract attention, and the video data is growing rapidly.

More and more people within the Chen family naturally saw it, and the most shocked were the members of the Chen family, because no one knew that there was such an ancestor in the Chen family.

At the training ground, Chen Lin was leading people to build a place for chanting scriptures when Chen Dagou and Chen Shuisheng hurriedly arrived, along with Chen Dalong, Chen Jun, and many other members of the Chen family.

"What are you all doing here?" Chen Lin asked, full of doubt. "You didn't come here just to watch me work, did you?"

Chen Dagou, looking completely surprised, said, "Chen Lin, you haven't watched the video online yet?"

"What's going on online?" Chen Lin asked, puzzled.

Chen Dagou immediately handed him the video from the internet: "Take a look at this video."

Chen Lin took the video with a puzzled look and saw the title: "The Chen family actually has a hidden master, who may be over 100 years old."

He was stunned when he saw the video; how come he didn't know about this?

After Chen Dagou saw that he had finished reading, he hurriedly asked, "Chen Lin, you were just separated from the main family, do you know something?"

Chen Lin, looking completely bewildered, said, "I have no idea!"

"What if Xiao Han knows something?" Chen Dagou immediately asked again.

"Let's go ask him." Chen Lin was also eager to know, so he took out his phone and dialed his nephew's number. Knowing that the other party was in his yard, he hurried over.

Chen Dagou and his men immediately followed.

Not long after, the group encountered Xiaoyu and Xiaomi outside the Chen family's residence, along with Chen Xiaoyan, who looked on with great curiosity.

In the yard.

Chen Han was also a bit confused at this moment. He had also seen the video online, and not long ago, his phone had been flooded with notifications from people tagging him on Douyin.

Now he doesn't need to pay special attention to news about the Chen family online anymore; as soon as there's any news about them, many people tag him.

He never expected that using the Thousand Illusions Mask once would create another legend for the Chen family, that the ancestor in the photo was actually alive, and that others had seen it.

Seeing the heated online discussion, only he knew it was about himself.

However, he won't offer any explanation; he'll just let people online guess.

As for what others ask?

That means he didn't know what was going on either.

However, having this identity as the ancestor of the Chen family might actually be able to impress people someday.

Just as he was thinking, he saw his uncle walk in with Uncle Big Dog and the others, along with Xiao Yu, Xiao Mi, and even the girls dressed in traditional Chinese style followed with curious expressions.

These women were quite comfortable at the Chen family's place and planned to stay for a few more days.

Chen Han clearly knew why these people had come, and before they could speak, he asked first, "Uncle, have you seen that video online? Is it true that the ancestor is still alive?"

“I’m young and don’t know many things. My dad passed away suddenly and didn’t tell me anything. You’re older, so do you know anything?”

"???" Chen Lin was about to ask a question when he came in, but when he heard his nephew's question, he was completely taken aback.

No, he brought people to ask his nephew, but now his nephew is asking him the same question.

Is this right?
But since my nephew asked that question, he probably doesn't know either.

Whether this person is the ancestor or not, nobody knows.

But the opponent's skills vanished in an instant, clearly indicating they were more skilled than them.

Chen Lin could only instruct Chen Dagou and the others: "Dagou, Xiao Han doesn't know either. If this person is really him, then he certainly doesn't want us to know. We can only ask everyone to pay more attention and see if this person is still with the Chen family."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dagou immediately nodded. This was the only way now. He immediately gathered the people from the Demon Control Hall to search the Chen family compound. He also instructed them to treat anyone they found with respect and to report back immediately.

After the Chen family members left, they seemed to be paying attention to various places, searching for something.

Moreover, the exhibition hall has become a gathering place for Chen's tourists, and many people come here to take photos.

Everyone was curious whether the old Taoist priest was the person in the photo.

Unfortunately, by nightfall, or even after the entire night had passed, no one had seen the figure that might be the ancestor.

Instead, overnight, "The Hidden Master of the Chen Family" became a trending topic, with the video receiving over 60 likes and sparking a great deal of discussion.
"Really? Could it be that the Chen family has an ancestor who can cultivate immortality?"

"Holy crap, I was stunned when I saw that photo."

"If this photo wasn't taken recently by Chen and artificially aged, then it's truly terrifying."

"..."

Moreover, Chen's expertise has gone viral not only on this topic, but also on another: "Chen's Ancient Meditation Techniques: Effects Beyond Your Imagination!"

This is a video posted by a girl: "I'm Xiao Ding, a designer. I was on vacation and everything was fine, when suddenly my boss asked me to revise the design. The worst part is that it was the design I initially proposed that was rejected. It's so tiring being a working person..."

"When you're really into the game, where can you calm down, where can you find inspiration and ideas? But at the Chen family's martial arts arena, after I listened to the Chen family members reciting the 'Ancient Tranquility Mantra,' my mind calmed down, my brain entered a state of emptiness, and I was completely focused."

"That state is truly magical, and it can make you burst with inspiration. After listening to the 'Ancient Meditation Technique,' I revised the design in a short time and sent it to my boss."

The girl's description attracted a lot of viewers. Although the number of likes and comments couldn't compare to the topic of "Chen's Hidden Master," it still garnered over 30 likes in one night.

However, many people still find it hard to believe the effects of the "Ancient Tranquility Technique".

"Really? If so, then we designers are in luck."

"Beautiful lady, I hope what you're saying is true. I've been having a lot of writer's block lately when I'm writing my novel."

"I'm a painter, so that should be useful, right? Anyone who confirms this, please let me know."

"Actually, it's not impossible. I just saw a video of a hidden master in the Chen family who might be over 150 years old."

"Upstairs, I saw it too. The old Taoist priest looks exactly like the one in the photo. If this is true, it's not surprising that the Ancient Tranquility Mantra has this effect. Conversely, if the Ancient Tranquility Mantra really has this effect, then the story of the Chen family hiding a master might also be true."

"..."

Many comments also combined the two topics for discussion. After Chen Han emerged from his cultivation and watched these two videos, he was certain that audiences in the creative industry would soon be listening to the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra."

At that time, Chen's place will become a holy land for these creative people.

Chen Han looked at his data again:

Reputation 100 million (437.86/100 million).

Followers: 545 million.

10000 vows (3335/1).

Thanks to the Chen's Chinese Style event and yesterday's buzz, his fan base is almost 550 million, making him a major internet celebrity.

My reputation has reached over 437 million, which is more than enough for upgrades, and even more than enough. It seems I can't possibly use it all up right now.

The power of will has also increased to 3335.

Over these four and a half days, aside from the prayers offered by the Chen clan members during their morning and evening prayers, the proportion of tourists who contributed prayer points was still very small.

This requires time and gradual change.

Thinking it over, Chen Han also left the video topic, but unexpectedly Dou Yin pushed a very popular topic to him, and the video already had nearly 200 million likes.

He watched the video out of curiosity. The video showed a police officer reminding everyone to keep an eye on their children and not to touch oleander, a plant commonly found in parks and green belts. This plant is highly poisonous; touching the sap, or even if a child puts it in their mouth, can cause serious injury.

Then the contradiction arises: if it's highly poisonous and can cause death, why is it planted everywhere?
"I don't understand why this poisonous plant would be planted in a densely populated area?"

"If it's highly poisonous, then I'd like to ask why it's planted in greenbelts."

"Why approve poisonous plants as greenery?"

"..."

Looking at the video comments, he was also puzzled by this. If it's poisonous and can kill people, why do people plant it everywhere and then come here to educate others about it?

However, Chen Han was unaware of the inside story and didn't care about it. He went downstairs to cultivate in the special spiritual cave, and then went to his uncle's kitchen to prepare medicinal food.

Just as the medicinal cuisine filled the room with its aroma, he received a call from his junior sister. Soon after, she arrived with several girls dressed in traditional Chinese clothing.

After the Chen Family Traditional Chinese Culture event ended, these girls had no new activities planned, so they decided to stay at Chen Family for a few more days. They felt very comfortable staying there.

Several girls were attracted by the aroma of the medicinal cuisine, and Lobster immediately said, "Master Chen, let's order a pot of medicinal cuisine tomorrow too."

"Okay!" Chen Han nodded, then asked, "What brings you and Xiaoyu here to see me?"

Xiaoyu helped reply: "Senior brother, it's like this, Lobster and the others want to ask about royal jelly and scar removal cream, they want to buy some."

Chen Han is currently lacking both of these items, as the small amount of royal jelly he obtained earlier will need to last for a while until the giant bees extract the royal jelly.

After all, there are 30 cups to be drawn every day.

As for the scar removal cream, he still has some spirit flower powder left to make it, and it might drop if the Demon Bees attack again.

Moreover, looking at the two female demons, Lobster and Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King, he suddenly said with a smile, "I can make some scar removal cream for you, but I also have something I need your help with."

Although all they had was scar removal cream, the lobsters were overjoyed to hear that.

The lobster asked, "Master Chen, please give me your orders!"

Chen Han smiled and said, "Shangyuan Village has developed a new mudflat project in the fields. Tourists can go down to catch snails and loaches. We just want you to try it out and give us your feedback."

Upon hearing this, the lobster didn't hesitate at all: "Master Chen, this is a small matter. I've never tried catching snails or loaches before. We can go now."

The other girls nodded in agreement, even though the two girls with the Sun Holy Body and the Innate Undead Holy Body were clearly a little scared, since not every girl has the courage to go into the fields to catch loaches.

Even many girls would scream in fright if they touched it.

But I was willing to go all out for that scar removal cream.

"Let's go then!" Chen Han couldn't help but smile. He had actually thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be settled so easily.

After leaving the courtyard, the girls, including Lobster, went back to their rooms. After all, it was impossible for them to wear Hanfu into the mud pit, as their Hanfu was very expensive. They changed into ordinary casual clothes before going to Shangyuan Village with Chen Han.

At this time of day, there aren't many tourists visiting the mudflat activity in Shangyuan Village yet; these kinds of activities usually start attracting visitors in the afternoon.

That's just right, otherwise, if he and a few girls dressed in traditional Chinese style came together, they would definitely be surrounded by onlookers.

Upon reaching the muddy paddy field, Chen Han said to the crayfish and the crooked-mouthed dragon king, "Go down one by one, you guys go down first!"

These two girls were both carefree and outgoing, so without hesitation, they rolled up their pants and went into the mud. However, when they turned around, they saw the Chen family head pointing his phone at them.

Before they could react, the Chen family head shouted, "After two days of driving them away, we have finally driven the lobster demon and the crooked-mouthed loach demon into this Thousand Illusion Swamp..."

"???"lobster.

"???" The Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King.

They were completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
The other girls stared at him in astonishment. Could it be that he invited them here just to film this video?
"Junior sister, you take them out and have some fun. If you have any complaints, summarize them and tell the village chief." Chen Han said this and left with satisfaction.

This stunned all the girls, who immediately realized that the Chen family head had made a whole table of dumplings just for a little bit of vinegar.

Really.

The lobster and the crooked-mouthed dragon king even thought, "Why didn't you say you wanted to film this video earlier? We're also waiting for the Chen family head to release the video about searching for the fairy."

I was wondering why I hadn't posted it yet, turns out I hadn't finished filming.

It's such a simple matter, yet the Chen family head has made it so complicated.

Chen Han was unaware of the girls' inner thoughts; at that moment, he was looking at the game prompt that appeared in his mind with a delighted expression.

This time, the reward for helping the Hundred Flowers Palace find the imposter fairy and avenge the fairy of the Hundred Flowers Palace was actually two!

[Congratulations on helping the Hundred Flowers Palace find the two imposters and uncover the truth, avenging the fairies of the Hundred Flowers Palace and earning their gratitude and goodwill. In return, the Hundred Flowers Palace has given you two gifts as a token of their appreciation.]

[Congratulations! You have received the Hundred Flowers Dew Charm from the Hundred Flowers Palace!]

[Congratulations! You have received a stone tablet from Hundred Flowers Palace that can record the patterns of a dust-removing array. However, when this stone tablet was taken from the Chen family's territory, the Hundred Flowers Palace's messengers were attacked by demonic forces. The stone tablet fell from the sky and crashed into the ground. Now, the Hundred Flowers Palace's messengers have been killed, and no one knows the exact location of the stone tablet!]

"???" Chen Han was completely dumbfounded after reading the game prompt.

They were still happy to receive two rewards, but now they're telling him that one of them wasn't delivered and was intercepted by a demonic cultivator.

Isn't this just messing with him?
Seeing that only one special talisman had appeared in the game inventory, he felt that the game system really should come out and give a proper explanation.

Why are half of the game mission rewards being deducted?

The second reward looks like a really good item.

I really want to complain about this game system.

...

On their way to the Chen family's residence, Chu Ping and Chen Kai were in the same car heading towards the Chen family's residence. The Chen family's residence was trending again today, and they wanted to come and see what was going on.

They had heard about the effects of the Ancient Tranquility Mantra before, and this time they could try listening to it.

They also wanted to learn more about the old Taoist priest from the Chen family head; they were very surprised when they saw the news.

Of course, there's also the story of cloud-based illusions, which went viral online...

"Do you think we can get the answer from Patriarch Chen?" Chu Ping couldn't help but ask.

Chen Kai subconsciously said, "It should make us believe in science, Chu County, what do you think we should do..." Then he immediately corrected himself, "We should believe in science."

One's identity and stance must be correct.

As the two were chatting, they suddenly noticed that the car had slowed down because there was road construction ahead, and it seemed that something quite large had been dug up in the section of road under construction.

Therefore, large sections of the road on both sides were dug up, leaving very little passable road space, and the cars in front had to carefully make their way through.

The two took a look as the car passed by. It seemed to be a large, rectangular stone block, quite neat. It would be very useful for making some kind of stone tablet.
