I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 219 Head of the Chen family: Here comes the talisman!

After reading the comments that were mocking him, Chen Han put down his phone and then looked at the AQI reading on the air quality monitor.

It has fallen below 10.

This figure is enough to put it among the top five in terms of current human activity areas.

I just don't know what level it will ultimately reach.

Thinking about it, he took out a low-level spirit stone and began to cultivate.

With this time spent cultivating and consuming two more primary spirit stones, I should be able to open up the fifth of the eight extraordinary meridians.

Fortunately, the game system had given me a few spirit stones before.

Online, Chen Han's video, which was initially seen as a perfunctory response, has become increasingly popular over time, attracting more and more viewers.

In a hotel, Chu Hao, wrapped in a bath towel, also saw the video of the Chen family head. It seems that the consecration ceremony of the statue of Chen's husband will be very lively this time.

Many couples will probably go, but I wonder how many will end up breaking up?
He also subconsciously looked towards the bathroom, where Lin Wanwan's beautiful figure could be vaguely seen through the frosted bathroom partition.

Thinking of his fiancée's alluring body, his heart stirred with inexplicable emotions.

This is a high-stakes gamble...

Lin Wanwan came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and said, "The consecration ceremony of the Moon God statue of the Chen family is the day after tomorrow. I have already booked the tickets."

"Okay!" Lin Wanwan nodded, walked up to him, and untied her bath towel: "Let's take care of business first!"

...

time flies.

The next day arrived quickly, and the online buzz surrounding the consecration ceremony of the statue of Chen's husband reached its peak, with many people discussing it.

Many people also wanted to go with their partners to check on the situation at the Chen family's place.

It's a pity that only half a day has passed, and the Chen family has already sold out of tickets. This is even after the Chen family increased the number of tickets twice. The initial 1500 tickets were sold out in a very short time.

Following appeals from netizens, 500 more tickets were added, but it still wasn't enough. Finally, another 2000 tickets were added, bringing the total number of tickets sold to 4000.

Of course, this is just the ticket price and does not include access to the flower field, the magnolia grove, or meals. It only includes the right to participate in the consecration ceremony of the Moon Goddess statue.

In other words, you can only enter the Chen family's premises, and you have to take care of your own food, drink, and accommodation. You can't watch other shows either.

Even so, these tickets were sold out in an instant, and they were all pairs of tickets, obviously for couples.

For these people, visiting the project wasn't the most important thing; receiving the blessing of the Moon God was. They all believed that being blessed by the Moon God would ensure a harmonious and happy relationship, lasting until old age.

Even couples who don't believe in these people don't mind joining in the fun and hoping for good luck.

Chen Han's purpose was simpler: to complete the mission of finding 50 flawless couples.

On the Chen family's side, Chen Lin had already led the people from the workshop to almost finish setting up the training ground.

Because the side hall of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable Hall is very small, the consecration ceremony cannot accommodate so many tourists. Therefore, it can only be held at the Martial Arts Arena. We will invite the Moon God back to the Marriage Hall later.

Because a daily recitation area for the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra" has already been set up at the martial arts training ground, this time the setup will be staggered from the recitation area.

However, since the consecration ceremony site is set up temporarily and will be dismantled later, there's no need to worry too much about many things.

The warning lines still need to be put up, and their locations need to be clearly marked to prevent overcrowding and stampedes caused by too many tourists.

Chen Han was drawing the talismans needed for the consecration ceremony in the main hall of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.

The consecration ceremonies for different deities are different. For example, in the consecration ceremony of the Moon God statue, after the ceremony begins, three "purification talismans" are lit around the statue to purify it and remove impurities.

Another point is that during the ceremony, the position of the statue should be such that its face is facing a direction where it can be directly exposed to sunlight, and the auspicious time is generally in the morning.

In addition, the chanting masters recite the purification mantras for water, body, mouth, and mind, etc.

Finally, just like the statue of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, the emperor ordered the use of cinnabar ink to consecrate the eyes, drawing the spirit into the body to complete the consecration ceremony.

Chen Han quickly completed three purification talismans. These purification talismans were ordinary talismans with no special effects.

However, since the ritual was conducted this way, he would definitely need to prepare three purification talismans.

Looking at the three talismans on the table, he raised his finger and, using his sword control technique, the three purification talismans floated up one after another. Then, with a wave of his hand, they flew around the statue of the Moon God twice.

During the formal ceremony, he will use a wooden sword to pick up the three talismans, which will then fly up to the candles and ignite. They will then fly around the statue of the Moon God and burn. The scene will surely be very impressive.

The Chen family sold 4000 tickets at once, which naturally reached the county. In particular, those who only had tickets and could not return home on the same day had to stay in the county, and many of their meals and drinks also had to be consumed in the county.

Chu Ping and Chen Kai were naturally very concerned about this matter; Linhe County was about to be propelled to new heights by the Chen family once again.

Chen Kai reported: "In Chu County, the two large hotels and several guesthouses are already fully booked. We need to get the hotels in our ancient city area up and running as soon as possible. Then, the next time this happens, the people staying in the ancient city area will naturally be tourists from the ancient city area."

"In addition, this time our cultural and tourism association will send people to the Chen family to distribute free tickets to the old town to the tourists. We believe this will attract a group of people to come and try it out, and we can collect their opinions."

"Hmm!" Chu Ping nodded, satisfied with Chen Kai's arrangements. However, he solemnly reminded him of one thing: "Recently, our county has received complaints about taxi drivers, including complaints of forced sharing of passengers, refusal to pick up passengers, and selective passenger picking."

“You must communicate with the relevant departments about this matter, strengthen management, and establish a team that can handle reports immediately. Those who should be punished should be punished, and those that should be shut down should be shut down. We can’t have just had two good days and then do these messy things.”

"Okay, I'll contact you right away." Chen Kai nodded immediately, agreeing to the task.

At the same time, these taxi drivers are also somewhat annoyed. There is a reason why taxi drivers are disliked in many cases. There is a reason why online ride-hailing accounts for more than 60% of the market share, and even as high as 75% in some places.

The taxi industry has serious problems. They won't take you for long distances, short distances, when you're eating, when you're changing shifts, or when they're in a bad mood. They just won't take you anywhere, acting like they own the place...

But if you don't pull the cart, people won't ride anymore; it's so much more convenient to just order a ride online.

Unfortunately, business was slow, and these taxi drivers became unhappy and started causing trouble as a group.

Later, due to the taxi driver disturbance, the authorities communicated with the taxis and added them to the ride-hailing system to alleviate the pressure on taxi drivers.

But as a result, these taxis frequently engage in forced passenger sharing, refusal to pick up passengers, and selective passenger selection, causing headaches for cultural and tourism industries in many places.

I never expected that something like this would happen in Linhe County, which had only been doing well for a short time.

These people have no idea about short-sightedness and only care about immediate gains. They have damaged the local tourism reputation, which not only harms their own future interests but also the interests of everyone.

Therefore, if this trend emerges, it must be suppressed from the very beginning.

In Shangyuan Village, the village chief, Guo Zhen, was also very busy discussing with Ming Di about the fact that Chenshi would be welcoming more than 4000 tourists tomorrow. Upon learning this, Shangyuan Village naturally began to make preparations.

The village accommodations are full, but the villagers can still have a good harvest from the fields and even from the local specialties they dig up in the mountains.

There will also be stalls in the Immortal Cultivation Market, which will surely attract people from all the villages, making it another lively market.

The villagers of Shangyuan Village also plan to spontaneously organize a security team to maintain order tomorrow and prevent any trouble from happening.

"Cousin, you'll be in charge of the village's security team." Mingdi finally handed the matter over to his cousin, a retired special forces soldier who was capable of handling it.

After the last Chen Family Traditional Culture event, he and Shangyuan Village also need to make progress, and this time they naturally want to do better than last time.

Chen and the villagers of Shangyuan Village reap the greatest benefits from the tourist traffic brought by the Chen family, so naturally they must take great care to protect it. Amidst these preparations, the consecration ceremony for the statue of Chen's Yuehuo (Moon Goddess) finally arrived.

Chu Hao set off from Qingmin City early in the morning, taking the car that came to pick him up to go to the Chen family.

He set up an office in Qingmin City, assigned one person to the office, and hired two employees. Their tasks included arranging transportation for his arrival and handling the handover of Leizhu Ling Tea with the Chen family.

The salary is neither low nor too high, but it's comfortable and easy, and there are bonuses for doing a good job, so many people are eager to do it.

According to his original plan, he should have checked into the Chen family's place last night. However, something came up at home before he left, which delayed his flight. He took a very late flight and was already very tired, so he simply decided to stay in the city.

However, it's still possible to go early in the morning, as the consecration ceremony for the Moon God statue won't start until 10 a.m.

He hadn't been here for a while and discovered that a section of the road leading to the Chen family's residence had been widened and should be open to traffic soon.

Soon, the car arrived near the Chen family's residence, where traffic police were already directing traffic.

The closer you get to Chen's place, the clearer the reason becomes: there are a lot of vehicles coming and going, and there's even some traffic congestion.

The driver also spent some time parking the car in Chen's parking lot.

After Chu Hao and his fiancée Lin Wanwan got out of the car, he was clearly a little nervous. After all, they had entered Chen's territory, and the gamble had begun.

He walked calmly to Lin Wanwan's side, then took her hand and led her towards the Chen family compound.

This is indeed a high-stakes gamble.

After all, in these kinds of family marriages, the goal is to climb higher together. Sometimes, feelings aren't that important, as long as the child is their own. Many of these arranged marriages involve couples who each go their own way.

As for the absurd scenarios in TV dramas where characters refuse arranged marriages or even run away from home in pursuit of true love, those are extremely rare.

Many people have seen the story of a rich second-generation heir who ran away from his wedding because of love. He was a rich second-generation heir from a large corporation who thought he was an only child and was very tough. He ran away from his wedding for a college beauty, which shows that he was deeply in love.

To his surprise, he was kicked out of his position as heir by his own father in the blink of an eye, and even more shockingly, he discovered that his father had an illegitimate child outside the marriage.

As a result, the illegitimate child married into the other family, entered the company, got a chance to perform, and became the president.

Most importantly, after losing his position as heir, he couldn't even keep the love of the school beauty, making him a laughing stock in the rich second-generation circle.

Therefore, he and his fiancée Lin Wanwan were taking a gamble. If they won, they would get married together; if they lost, they would deal with it later. Although they would still get married, they would make sure to sign and clarify all the terms and conditions.

In the future, you can use sex at home, and you can use sex with whomever you want outside, without interfering with each other, and there are many other agreements, etc.

Upon entering Chen's residence, the two witnessed a couple tearing at each other's hair. The man had visible injuries on his knees, indicating he was in trouble, which revealed something.

This made him subconsciously look at Lin Wanwan, only to find that she was also looking at him. She asked, "What? Are you checking if I'm having any bad luck?"

Chu Hao asked jokingly, "Aren't you one too?"

After that, both of them remained silent. There was no need to hide it, because that was simply the truth.

After entering the Chen family compound, the two walked cautiously. Even when they heard birds chirping overhead, they instinctively looked up.

I've also heard the legend of Chen's bird droppings.

However, the two were shocked to see a couple in front of them. The man had a bird dropping on his forehead, and the woman immediately got angry. But then, three more bird droppings landed on her forehead.

The man, who had initially backed down when she lost her temper, suddenly kicked her.

This scene caused Chu Hao and Lin Wanwan to exchange a glance.

The Chen family's matchmaking ceremony attracted many tourists, which was good, but in the end, many people might really break up.

However, as they walked into the Chen family's residence, their joy grew stronger, because neither of them encountered any problems.

The two even went to see the sea of ​​flowers and the magnolia trees. After the magnolia trees bloomed in large quantities, the flowers were really very beautiful.

Finally, when they emerged from the grove of magnolia trees, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Because they all won the bet.

"I didn't expect that with so many rumors about you circulating outside, I could still win the bet." Lin Wanwan had a smug expression on her face.

"Aren't you the same?" Chu Hao retorted without backing down.

As the two walked, they saw many men and women coming out of the Chen family's house. Many of them had been fighting or even tearing at each other, and their faces bore claw marks.

This person clearly had bad luck and lost the bet.

At that moment, the two heard the sounds of gongs and drums, as well as firecrackers, coming from inside the Chen family's house. They both knew that the consecration ceremony of the Moon God statue had begun.

"Let's go!" Chu Hao pulled Lin Wanwan and quickly walked inside. Sure enough, they saw that all the Chen family's tourists were walking in pairs towards the martial arts arena.

The two followed, and when they squeezed to the front of the training ground, they found that a consecration altar had been set up, and the statue of the Moon God had been placed on a shrine.

The chanting master of the Chen family also sat cross-legged in front of the altar, looking solemn. The elderly female Taoist priest of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable Hall also held a whisk and led a few members of the Chen family in a special Taoist dance.

The two knew that the ceremony had begun.

Many people had already started taking pictures of the statue with their phones, but some members of the Chen clan were also using small loudspeakers to shout to the surrounding tourists:
"During the consecration ceremony of the statue, the deity bestows blessings. Please put away your mobile phones. Taking pictures of the deity during the ceremony is disrespectful and will not bring blessings, but rather disaster!"

In Taoist culture, reverence for deities is one of the core concepts, and the solemnity and sanctity of many rituals are of particular importance.

Generally speaking, photographing statues of deities or during rituals requires adherence to traditional taboos. In many Taoist temples or solemn ritual occasions, out of respect for the deities, photography is not permitted, especially during the ritual.

Many people are unaware of this, so the Chen family had already arranged for someone to remind them. Upon hearing this, the tourists were clearly taken aback.

However, thinking of the legend of the Chen family and those couples who fought and left in a sorry state, the surrounding tourists still had at least some respect and put away their phones.

Only a few ignored the warnings and secretly took photos with their phones.

More and more tourists gathered around, all of whom had come for the Yue Lao (Old Man Under the Moon) blessing ceremony.

Everyone nervously looked towards the statue of the Moon God, since they had all come here today for the Moon God's blessing.

Chu Hao clearly noticed that there weren't as many people around as he had imagined, definitely far fewer than the 4000+ tourists mentioned. Could it be that many people had misremembered the time, or didn't know the time and therefore didn't come?
He himself didn't believe the idea.

It's obvious that many people lost the bet.

Just then, he suddenly heard the elderly female Taoist priest speak with great confidence: "Heaven is round and earth is square, so the gods are supreme. Entering the divine embryo allows one to communicate with the divine energy. On an auspicious day, the gods will be present to protect the disciple and ward off disasters... Please, the head of the Chen family, Da Xuan, purify the divine image!"

At this moment, he saw the head of the Chen family ascend the altar, and the Chen family members began to chant scriptures.

As the scripture was recited, Chen Han also took a wooden sword and began to dance, performing a Taoist ritual dance, which was also the prelude to the purification of the statue.

As soon as the prelude ended, he abruptly stopped, waved his hand, and shouted, "Bring me the purification talisman!"

This shout attracted the attention of the surrounding tourists, including Chu Hao, who immediately looked at the raised finger and then witnessed a jaw-dropping scene.

As if summoned, the three talismans on the altar table flew directly toward the Chen family head.

This……
