I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 221 Chu Ping: There's an extraordinary person in our Linhe County!

After placing the statue of the Moon Goddess in the Marriage Hall, Chen Han offered incense and performed a ritual before returning to his own courtyard.

The consecration ceremony is now complete, and the conditions for the spiritual staff and red thread ball have been met. The only remaining requirement is for 50 perfect couples to kowtow, at which point the mission of the Marriage Hall will be accomplished.

The reward for this mission was what he was most looking forward to.

Once in the courtyard, I lay down on a deck chair and took out my phone to check the online situation. I figured the tourists had already posted what happened that day online.

However, during the last consecration ceremony of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, tourists' screens showed only static when taking pictures, and it will likely be the same this time, meaning they won't be able to capture anything.

Douyin received many messages tagging him in the comments section:
"Patriarch Chen, is what he said true?"

"Patriarch Chen, someone is spreading rumors that your Moon God has arrived, and there are even red lines appearing on your wrists!"

"Hahaha, Patriarch Chen, I suspect that your Chen family has given the tourists some kind of hallucinogenic fungus!"

"..."

Chen Han clicked on these @ tags and found that they were indeed videos about the consecration of the statue of Chen's Yuehuo, the god of marriage. In these videos, the people filming them confidently recounted the miraculous situations they and their partners encountered at Chen's place.

That was described in vivid detail, but unfortunately there was absolutely no evidence to prove it, not even videos or photos.

So no matter how vividly it was described, obviously no one believed it. The comments section was full of doubts, and some even complained that the person who made the video was treating everyone like fools.

However, even so, this matter is still very popular and has generated a lot of discussion, even becoming a trending topic.

When Chen Han clicked on another @mention, he was somewhat surprised. The video's title was: "I'm here to prove that what happened at the Chen Family Consecration Ceremony is real!"

"Everyone is questioning whether what happened at Chen's is true, so let me prove it. I am at Chen's right now, and my girlfriend and I still have red strings on our wrists."

"I can't directly show everyone the red string because it can only be seen by the couple. Also, it seems to be affected by some mysterious force, so I can't take pictures with my phone. If I do, the pictures will show snowflakes!"

"But this is also a kind of proof. I used two phones to take pictures, and I used the other phone to take pictures of the snowflake-like pattern that appeared on my wrist."

In the video, the person filming indeed took out another phone, turned on the camera, and initially the picture was normal. However, when the camera was pointed at the wrist, the picture became abnormal, turning into a static-like image.

Then the camera moved away, and the picture returned to normal.

This was repeated several times, proving that there was indeed something unusual on his wrist.

Chen Han was surprised. This person was quite clever, actually knowing how to prove it in this way. It was just a pity that this could only be done indirectly.

Based on his experience, he felt that scientific research experts in the relevant fields would soon come out to refute the popular science claims.

These scientific experts would never want to see superstitious propaganda associated with their profession in their own fields.

However, after this person proved it in this way, the video became quite popular and was seen by many people.

For example, Chu Wan saw it, which made her very annoyed. She had just done a live broadcast, but she never thought she could use such a method and have so many people mock her.

How stupid.

"Honey, come with me to Chen's, I want to do another live stream," Chu Wan immediately said to her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend knew her purpose and shook his head, saying, "Honey, if that's your goal, there's no need for this. This video has already been debunked."

As he spoke, he handed her a video.

Chu Wan opened the video with a puzzled look and found that it was posted by a middle school student named Xiao Ge. This Xiao Ge was a popular internet celebrity with many fans, who was famous for sharing his learning experiences and conducting small physics experiments.

She had seen his videos; many parents were following this kid and said they wished their children were as smart as him.

As soon as the video started playing, the child's voice came through: "As a flower of the motherland and a person who is deeply influenced by the ideology of ****, I firmly believe in science. Today, when I saw my father, he saw a video about the Chen family, where the phone would show a snow-like pattern when moved to the wrist. I just want to say, this video can't even fool a child like me, so why would adults believe it?"

"Actually, there are many ways to make that happen. The simplest is a miniature electromagnetic interference device. As long as the intensity of the electromagnetic waves is calculated, the situation shown in the video can be achieved."

"So, the time has come to witness a scientific experiment!"

In the video, the young man indeed began preparing various tools and started making it. Before long, he had made an electromagnetic interference device the size of a button.

Then, the boy started demonstrating, and sure enough, the situation she had encountered before occurred: as long as the phone was pointed at a certain spot, the camera screen would show a snowy pattern, and it would return to normal when the screen was removed.

"So please don't be superstitious, believe in science," the kid added at the end.

Chu Wan saw many comments on the video and opened the comment section to take a look:
"Haha, even a kid like me understands this, so why don't so many people?"

"I think so too. The Chen family's story is obviously an unscientific propaganda strategy, yet so many people believe it!"

"Propaganda is propaganda, but watching the show is fine. Even the head of the Chen family himself has to admit that he believes in science, but fools are rushing to believe in those things."

"..."

Clearly, no one in the comments section believed Chen's claim about any "red line" (a symbolic connection to the legal system).

More importantly, many people in the comments section also posted videos of the Chen family's consecration ceremony to support the young man.

"Everyone, watch the video. I was there, and I loudly proclaimed that there was a red line on my wrist, but there wasn't one at all!"

"There was no way around it. When Patriarch Chen said that, I dare say no, my girlfriend would definitely have forced me to come over."

“I’m at Chen’s right now, and I don’t have a wrist, but everyone around me says I do. I can’t say I don’t. I’ll just say I give my girlfriend 3 a month, how could I not have a red thread?”

"..."

These normal on-site videos, along with the comments, also sparked a lively discussion among many people:

"This is the truth. Could those who made it sound so amazing be shills?"

"It's definitely a shill, otherwise it's just making things up to get traffic and show off."

"It's normal for tourist attractions to have paid promoters!"

"..."

Chu Wan was dumbfounded when she saw the comments: "Honey, why is this happening? We've clearly encountered real people, so how come we've been labeled as shills just for telling the truth?"

Hearing this, her boyfriend smiled and said, "Because the truth is in the hands of a few, most people don't care what the truth is. Besides, not everyone has the chance to meet certain people, and not everyone can encounter true mysteries and masters."

"If there's no affinity, even if a true master is right in front of you, you'll treat them as a fraud. Even if something extraordinary happens before your eyes, you won't take it seriously!"

“We are destined to be together. We have been blessed by the Moon God and are bound by the red thread of fate. We will be happy. Those who are not blessed by the Moon God and are not bound by the red thread of fate are not destined to be together.”

"Not to mention those people online, they're all people I have no chance with!"

Chu Wan thought her boyfriend's words made a lot of sense.

Chen Han naturally saw the video as well, and many people tagged him. He really didn't expect that this time, the one who exposed him wasn't a science professor, but a kid.

The key point is that this kid's experiment perfectly refuted the videos posted by tourists during the Chen family's consecration ceremony.

Some kids these days are really something else.

Seeing so many people tagging him, he commented on their post with his own account: "Everyone should believe in science and study hard like these kids!"

His comment naturally attracted a lot of attention, and many people replied to him immediately.

"Haha, even Patriarch Chen has issued a statement!"

"Kid is awesome, he managed to scare out the head of the Chen family."

"..."

As Chen Han was reading these comments, his phone rang. It was the number of Chu County resident from the county. He usually wouldn't call him unless there was nothing wrong.

So he answered the phone immediately, and the other party's voice came through right away: "Patriarch Chen, where are you now? I need to talk to you. Can we meet?" "Of course, I'm in my own courtyard!" Chen Han gave the other party his location after answering the phone.

A moment later, the magistrate of Chu hurriedly entered the courtyard, and Chen Kai followed behind, his face full of curiosity as to why the magistrate of Chu was looking for the head of the Chen family.

As soon as Chu Ping entered, he asked anxiously, "Patriarch Chen, does the Chen family have any way to treat arteriosclerosis?"

"Did your family in Chu County get this illness?" Chen Han asked, his mind immediately turning to the Golden Acanthopanax senticosus wine (Chapter 119) that was soaking in his game inventory.

This wine has the attribute of treating arteriosclerosis by +2.

Previously, it would take 10 days for this wine to take effect, and since no one else had experienced the same symptoms, he had become somewhat less concerned about the wine.

However, it's one thing for someone to ask for help, but it's another to understand what's going on.

The Chen family must maintain its dignity; it is impossible for them to rush to the aid of someone who asks for help casually, even if the person in question is the man from Chu County.

Upon hearing the words "arteriosclerosis," Chen Kai finally understood why Chu County was in such a hurry. In modern medicine, this disease is considered incurable.

Moreover, what's most infuriating about this type of disease is that it becomes a major obstacle for many elderly people when they need to undergo surgery, making surgery impossible.

If you want to have surgery, you need to improve your arteriosclerosis first, but there is currently no medical treatment that can cure it, and hospitals can only offer conservative treatment.

As for what conservative treatment often means, those who know, know.

So, if this is the case, and the hospital has no other option, then they really have no choice but to try the Chen family's services.

If the Chen family can't find a solution either, then they'll basically have to resort to conservative treatment.

Chu Ping then explained, "Master Chen, it's like this: there's an elderly man in the city who has developed an illness and needs treatment, but he has severe arteriosclerosis and there's no way to treat it. The doctor can only recommend conservative treatment."

“The other party’s son has done me a great favor and helped me a lot, so I came to the Chen family to ask if there is any way to help him. Also, the other party’s son’s identity may not be suitable for him to go to religious places!”

Chen Han understood. If it was unsuitable for someone to go to a religious place, then that person must be someone from the government. And the only one who could be of great help to this person was a certain bigwig in the city.

No wonder they were in such a hurry.

It's hard to say in modern times, but in ancient times they were called benefactors, belonging to a certain lineage.

He has wine made from golden ginseng bark that can solve this problem, and he doesn't mind helping the other party. After all, the other party has given a lot of help to the Chen family and rarely asks for help.

However, you can't just agree to help too casually or cheaply. It's not like you can just ask for help and expect them to come to your door. That's impossible.

Even when helping someone, one must follow the Chen family's rules and ensure that the other party has no room for argument, knowing that being able to join the Chen family is their good fortune.

Therefore, he did not agree directly, but said, "Chu County, you can let the patient come to the Chen family. I will arrange a blessing ceremony for them and ask the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable to protect the patient!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ping instinctively thought of saying something like "the patient is weak," before realizing that asking the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable for protection was impossible; sending the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable to the city would be a joke.

However, through the words of the Chen family head, he also knew that the Chen family had a solution, so all that was needed was for the patient to come over.

"Thank you, Patriarch Chen!" Chu Ping thanked him without hesitation and then hurriedly left the Chen family. After getting into his car, he headed directly to the city.

Qingmin City First Hospital is one of the best public hospitals in the province, with the best medical staff and the best treatment equipment.

It can be said that once the First Hospital issues a notice for conservative treatment, there is basically not much hope of finding a suitable hospital elsewhere.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chu Ping went straight to a ward in the reserved area.

Naturally, this reserved area is absolutely non-existent with the public, and even if there is a severe shortage of hospital rooms, this reserved area will still not exist.

As for the reason, those who know, know.

Although there are specialized sanatoriums, not everyone is qualified to go there, and even for those who are qualified, it's not always possible for their family to arrange for them to go.

There are also some super-rich people in Qingmin City. Once these people want to use their connections, they can't just queue up like ordinary people or compete with others for hospital rooms.

Of course, this is absolutely not true to the public. There is absolutely no such thing as a backdoor. Even if evidence is found, it is just slander.

Chu Ping arrived at a ward, which was already filled with people, mainly two men.

He walked up to one of the middle-aged men and asked, "Mr. Zheng, how is the old man?"

Mr. Zheng shook his head without saying anything, and the others sighed silently.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural laws that humans cannot resist. This law is fair to all humans. Many times, even if you have power and money, you cannot save the people you care about.

Take the Zheng family, for example. They have power and money. What use is a government official and a large company?

When faced with the King of Hell's call to collect souls, there's nothing that can be done. Is it possible to bribe the King of Hell to grant him more leniency?
Seeing their expressions, Chu Ping said, "Mr. Zheng, I know an extraordinary person who might not be entirely without a solution!"

His sudden words drew the attention of everyone in the ward.

After all, the First Hospital had concluded that they could only treat the patients conservatively, which meant there was basically no other way. Everyone was quite frustrated, so how could they not be surprised to hear the good news that there was a solution?

Mr. Zheng asked directly, "Xiao Chu, what did you say?"

Chu Ping patiently explained, "Mr. Zheng, there is a family in Linhe County with a very long history called the Chen family. They are quite famous online, and they possess some amazing abilities..."

Before he could finish his introduction, a very arrogant young man suddenly spoke up: "That Chen family head, isn't that the one who promotes science and superstition all day long?"

"Today I even saw the Chen family being slapped in the face by a middle school kid using a science experiment. The Chen family head still obediently said he wanted to believe in science."

These words darkened Mr. Zheng's face, and he looked directly at the young man: "Get out!"

"Uncle?" The young man looked at Mr. Zheng in bewilderment.

"Get out." Another middle-aged man's face also darkened.

"Dad? What happened to me?" the young man asked defiantly.

"Get out." Zheng Ruikai stared at his son with a gloomy face. Sometimes, besides the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness and death that are irresistible, having terrible offspring is also something that is irresistible.

Therefore, the only thing parents can do is create alternate accounts.

The young man was still very unconvinced and even speechless, but he dared not disobey the dual pressure from his uncle and father, and felt very wronged.

Mr. Zheng then said to Chu Ping, "Little Chu, please continue!"

He naturally wouldn't believe anything he read online. He knew some things better than anyone else, and besides, he knew very well that Chu Ping wouldn't joke about this with him.

Chu Ping continued, "Mr. Zheng, the Chen family is indeed quite miraculous, with some mysterious and uncanny abilities. I have personally experienced it. The illness of that wealthy tycoon Liu Ye, the father of that wealthy tycoon Wang in our city, and the eldest daughter of the Kaiwei Group were all cured by the Chen family."

These words caused Mr. Zheng and his brother to exchange a shocked glance.

They naturally knew about the wealthy Liu Ye and his associates, as well as the wealthy Wang from the city.

And then there's Kaiwei Group, one of the top 100 companies in China; they're naturally well aware of that as well.

Putting aside the fact that Chu Ping wouldn't joke about this, none of the three parties involved are fools, especially given Liu Ye's position; he's even less likely to be a fool.

Therefore, this shows that what Chu Ping said is basically true, and the Chen family and the head of the Chen family do indeed have some special abilities.

They hadn't expected that such an extraordinary person existed in Qingmin City.

Zheng Ruikai subconsciously asked Chu Ping, "Mr. Chu, could you please invite that Chen family head to the city? I'll pay whatever it takes."

Mr. Zheng also subconsciously looked at Chu Ping, a hint of expectation on his face.

Their father suffered so much for them, so if there's a way to save him, they will never give up.
