I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 228 The Old Celestial Master Descends the Mountain to Vanquish Demons?
Chen Han looked at the mission map that appeared and sighed again.

Previously, it was said that a region of 2.5 square kilometers would be handed over to the Chen family for defense.

It seems that this small town and Linhe County are both just areas near the Chen family's garrison.

I really wish the game system could tell him how far the county town was from the Chen family.

They dare call such a small area 2.5 kilometers? That's ridiculously exaggerated.

However, he was more curious about who the people on the periphery of the Wutai Sect were, since that gun was involved with the Wutai Sect's demonic weapon.

It seems the old Taoist priest should make his move again.

After all, he wasn't sure whether he needed to personally handle this demon-slaying mission, or have someone from the Chen family do it, or whether reporting it to the police would count.

In uncertain situations, he felt that taking action himself was the safest option.

Another important point is that the demon-slaying demon will definitely take action. He has no law enforcement authority, and if he injures or maims someone, even if the person is eventually caught, he can still accuse them of physical assault or something.

This is a hassle to argue about.

Therefore, it's best for the old Taoist priest to take action. The system can't find this person. Are you going to look for someone who doesn't belong to this era?

This is a true story of an old celestial master descending the mountain to vanquish demons.

Thinking about it, Chen Han went back to the Chen family to prepare for his trip to the county to fight demons. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his junior sister, who was full of excitement. She said to him, "Senior brother, did you see that? Uncle is famous online."

Before he could finish speaking, he hurriedly handed his phone to his senior.

Chen Han picked up the phone and saw a video playing on it. It showed his uncle taking down the thugs with a single powerful blow. The video was trending and had become a hot topic.

He was surprised that the video had been uploaded to the internet so quickly.
He didn't believe anyone was pulling strings behind the scenes.

After clicking on the trending topics and seeing two videos, he roughly understood.

"Notification from Linhe County Regarding the Attempted Kidnapping of a Wealthy Woman: The case is currently under detailed investigation!"

This is a statement from the Linhe County police.

Kidnappers Attempt to Abduct a Wealthy Female Investor from Linhe County, But the Chen Family's Expert Hands Easily Defused the Situation!

This is a video posted by the Linhe County Culture and Tourism account.

After reading it, Chen Han understood. This was all orchestrated by the county government, with the aim of letting people know that a large group like Weikai had invested in Linhe County, thus making Linhe County a worthwhile place to invest.

Moreover, the Chen family still enjoys considerable popularity online. Masters of the Chen family already attract a lot of attention, and the addition of the words "masters of the Chen family" is just what draws people's attention.

This immediately sparked a wave of discussion.

Online, the popularity of the Chen family master quickly increased, especially since Chinese people have a fascination with martial arts, and the scene of Chen Lin defeating one person with a powerful fight spread rapidly.

Many people were shocked when they saw the video.

After all, I've only ever seen these kinds of scenes in movies. In reality, even those martial arts masters who have a lot of fans in Douyin have never actually had any fighting records.

Even some so-called masters with millions of followers have never had a real fight. Although they usually challenge other martial arts bloggers online and argue fiercely, they are very tacitly in cahoots, but they never take any real action.

Therefore, many people initially thought that Chen Lin's big fight video was some kind of movie trailer when they first saw it.

Cai Yilin is a prime example.

He was a white-collar worker with few hobbies, except for watching movies. He was waiting to leave work with some colleagues when he came across the video.

Having finished their planning, the team finally had some rare free time. Upon seeing the video, they exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, isn't this even better than Dong-seok? What movie is this? When did another hunk like this appear?"

Several colleagues gathered around curiously. Upon seeing the video, one of them immediately said, "This isn't a movie video. The title says 'Master of the Chen Family,' so it must be that Chen family!"

"What?" someone exclaimed.

Chen is quite popular online, especially after the two events, many people have watched Chen's videos.

Cai Yilin found it hard to believe that this video actually happened in real life.
He subconsciously clicked on the trending topic, and after seeing the situation, he felt it was absurd, because he had never watched Chen's videos before, and the shock was immense.

This scene of a powerful figure fighting against one person is something that many movies can't capture. Even with stars and special effects, it all comes across as weak and powerless.

After clicking on trending topics and watching other videos, he and his colleagues were even more shocked, especially when they saw that the kidnappers, who were armed, were dealt with—it was truly unbelievable.

Opening the comments section, others were clearly just as amazed as they were.

"Who the hell said that even the best martial arts master is afraid of a kitchen knife? This Chen family expert isn't even afraid of a gun!"

"Who says a gun is faster and more accurate than a gun from seven paces away?"

"It seems that the spear is faster at seven steps and the knife is faster at seven steps. It all depends on your strength."

"Seriously, when it comes to real skill, I admire the Chen family the most. Their record is verifiable, and they're getting stronger and stronger, unlike the others who just talk nonsense online!"

"..."

This discussion has further fueled the controversy, and Liao Shuang's identity has indeed been uncovered. As expected, the fact that a large conglomerate like Weikai has invested in Linhe County has become known to more and more people, just as the Linhe County authorities hoped.

The fact that the Chen family's experts would specifically protect Liao Shuang, the young lady of the Kaiwei Group, has also attracted attention, with some even starting to make malicious speculations.

For example, a post went viral: "The Chen family's expert skills in dealing with kidnappers are indeed impressive, but it also shows that the Chen family is prone to currying favor with the powerful. After all, they only protected wealthy people; they wouldn't have done the same for an ordinary person!"

There are always people who like to associate many things with money and power.

In fact, Taoist sects often don't care whether you are rich, powerful, or an ordinary person.

The Taoist concept of equality for all beings does not mean that everyone should enjoy the same rights. If you are richer or more powerful than me, then you are guilty and your rights are not legitimate.

Fairness means that everyone should be equal and receive the same benefits.

This is incorrect within the Taoist community.

Just like some people who see others not queuing at the bank, they yell at why others can not queue, saying it's unfair, and make a scene, only to end up being taken away by the police.

He had no idea that this person was a super VIP at the bank, someone the bank needed whose deposits and transaction history were required by; the bank was practically begging him. There was a similar incident before where an ordinary person went to an official department to apply for documents, endured long queues and cumbersome procedures, only to see the office manager enthusiastically hand the documents to a man. The person filmed the incident and uploaded it online, complaining about the lack of fairness in the world and collusion between officials and businessmen.

In fact, the man was an investor's secretary, and the investment was obtained through begging and pleading by the locals. The investment would not only relocate a group of villagers and make a large number of people wealthy, but also create many jobs.

Anyway, the video caused a public outcry, so the investor withdrew immediately. I heard that the person who posted the video was beaten by many villagers and hospitalized, but nobody knows what happened to him after that.

In Taoism, fairness is absolutely not about favoring the poor or weak; the idea that "I am poor and weak, therefore I am right" does not apply.

Because there will always be poorer and weaker people, those who complain always look upwards, but they don't realize that if things were done according to what they call fairness, they might be even worse off than they are now.

The Taoist school advocates non-action yet nothing is left undone. It believes that the Tao, as the origin of the world, has its own operating rules and does not require human intervention. The so-called Tao follows nature and the Great Tao is ruthless. The Tao will not help you because you are poor or weak, nor will it suppress you because you are lucky or have achieved something.

People become rich and powerful because they adapt to the laws of the universe. The current social rules are actually part of the great way.

The fact that some wealthy people are morally condemned and some powerful people are punished by law is also part of the natural order.

Chen Han also saw the video, but he didn't want to respond and was too lazy to waste words. However, a highly respected Taoist priest spoke up for him:
"Taoist sects have a long tradition of inviting Taoist priests to serve as sorcerers or protectors. When believers help the Taoist sects with their work or donate money, that is considered a good deed, and the Taoist sects will repay that good deed."

"This is actually a very fair way of doing things. Just like Taoists who don't beg for alms when they come down from the mountain, they mostly exchange a connection by telling fortunes, looking at feng shui, or helping people solve their problems."

"Take Ms. Liao today for example. If she donated a lot of money to the Chen family, the Chen family should reciprocate with goodwill. It is impossible for you to expect the Chen family to do the same for you when you have no connection or relationship with them."

"Similarly, the magnitude of one's affinity with others is not solely determined by money. Devotion, interpersonal relationships, and other factors are also considered. In short, all beings are not equal, but the Tao is equal to all beings!"

As soon as the Taoist priest spoke, many people understood what he meant.

The fact that the Chen family's skilled fighters risked their lives to protect Ms. Liao from the kidnappers suggests that Ms. Liao and the Chen family must have had some prior good karma, even if the other party donated money. Karma is karma.

But you have no connection with the Chen family, you're just an ordinary tourist, you didn't donate money or make any other good connections, so it's unreasonable for you to ask the Chen family to risk their lives for you.

It's like when you go to work, someone does less work but gets paid more than you. Would you be happy? If you do twice the work for the same salary, would you be happy?

Those who don't understand will naturally support the internet celebrity's remarks and continue to discuss Chen's sycophantic and money-grubbing views.

Mingdi naturally saw the news as well. As a master of riding the coattails of the Chen family, he immediately called over his cousin Xu Bin and Zhu Xueqin: "You saw the news about the Chen family? We should also make a video and ride the coattails of this trend."

Zhu Xueqin looked puzzled: "This news has nothing to do with us, how are we supposed to piggyback on it?"

Xu Bin nodded, because they had absolutely no chance of getting involved in this matter.

The incident did not occur in the Chen family's household.

"Riding the wave of popularity is an art; you have to be strategic!" Mingdi took his cousin and Zhu Xueqin back to the hillside platform and filmed a simple video with the Chen family's house as the backdrop.

Mingdi: "Have you heard? A group of comrades were plotting against the head of the Chen family's workshop, but they were all killed by the other side. What a bunch of idiots, they didn't even understand the other side's strength."

"The problem now is that this behavior might anger the Chen family, leading them to launch a demon-slaying operation. So, for now, we'd better do nothing to avoid being exposed and implicated by these idiots!"

The video was quickly uploaded and gained a lot of attention, but many people also joked about the horn honking.

"Horn, you freak, you're just trying to ride the coattails of popularity."

"Haha, thank you for telling me this. So that's what happened!"

"Very well, with just one sentence from you, the case has turned into an ambush and killing of the Chen family's experts by demonic sorcerers."

"..."

While these people were joking about honking their horns, they were unaware that an old Taoist priest had reappeared at the Chen family's residence. Some tourists noticed him and were quite surprised.

This old Taoist priest had been famous before, and some tourists had even seen his videos, so they recognized him immediately.

This person is truly extraordinary.

But by the time they took out their phones to take pictures, the old Taoist priest was no longer there.

In the parking lot, a police car was parked. Deng Shuang and his colleagues got in and prepared to return to the county. They were Chen's tourism police officers, and their shift had ended.

He was driving and was about to start the car when he heard the door open and someone get in.

This left them somewhat bewildered; they had never seen anyone so brazenly open their car door and get in.

However, they were all stunned when they saw who sat down.

An old Taoist priest with a full white beard, dressed in a gray-blue Taoist robe.

Is this the person in question?
For a moment, Deng Shuang and her two colleagues didn't know how to start the conversation.

Chen Han, however, feigned indifference and asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, would you mind taking me to the county?"

"Ah, no... I don't mind..." Deng Shuang replied subconsciously, then started the car and drove out of Chen's parking lot, heading towards the county.

The person in the passenger seat had already taken out his phone and secretly sent a message to his team leader, Huang Xin.

Huang Xin has been working with Li Rui on the Liangmei Group case for the past two days. However, the case is too big, and more people are involved. The city has even sent supervisors down. Everyone understands the purpose, and no one will say anything.

What he envied was that Li Rui had gained another credit for his trip. He had made a significant contribution to the gang kidnapping case, and if he had also brought firearms, the case would have automatically been upgraded, and his credit would have been even greater.

And this was all for free.

Huang Xin had just finished dealing with the details of a case when he sat down and received a message from his subordinate: "Captain, an old Taoist priest got into our car, that old Taoist priest from the Chen family!"

When Huang Xin first saw the message, he felt that his subordinate was a jerk. If Master Chen was riding in your car, you should have just given him a ride. Why did you have to send him a message for such a small thing?
But as soon as he put down his phone, he felt something was wrong.

Old Taoist priest?
He subconsciously recalled a thought: "That old Taoist priest?"

"Ok!"

Seeing his subordinate's confirmed answer, Huang Xin also became uneasy. The appearance of that old Taoist priest naturally attracted the attention of the county. He had also paid attention to it and even investigated it, but there was no trace of that old Taoist priest at all. He was truly like a dragon that appears only once and then disappears forever.

Now the old Taoist priest has reappeared, and he's even gotten into one of his men's cars.

He had a strange feeling that this matter was not simple.
