I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 244: Completed missions consecutively! 4 rewards!
As the drums and gongs sounded, Chen Hanzhen looked in surprise at the game prompt that appeared in his mind:

[Congratulations! You have completed the task of guiding people towards goodness and have received the reward: 5 Beginner Spirit Stones!]

[Congratulations! You have completed the mission of guiding people towards good and have received a special reward: "Insect Control Technique" presented by the Deceitful Master!]

So, is the gonging and drumming outside related to that cunning stranger from before?

The other party must have suffered greatly from being subjected to his Yin-Yang Transformation Technique for a period of time.

Chen Han was genuinely surprised; the mission was completed too suddenly.

Previously, that cunning person exploited a loophole in the mini-program to conduct a lottery at Chen's company, even using a drone.

Naturally, in the game's storyline, the cunning man used this "Insect Control Technique" to cause trouble for the Chen family.

A quick glance at the game inventory revealed that "Insect Control Technique" appeared in the form of a jade slip.

[Insect Control Technique: This is a secret technique for controlling insects practiced by unorthodox individuals. It possesses unique effects, and its detailed contents can be obtained after use!]

Chen Han hadn't expected that completing the mission would lead to this cunning guest offering up this secret technique; the five low-level spirit stones seemed like an unexpected bonus.

However, he could never have too many spirit stones. In reality, there was no spiritual energy, so he could only rely on the brief cleansing of special spiritual caves. These spirit stones were his cultivation resources.

At this moment, he was more curious about the commotion outside, so he went out to see what was going on.

Upon exiting the Chen family's gate, one sees a long line of people banging gongs and drums.

Behind the two elderly men acting as gong and drum players in the front row, people were seen carrying two rather large braised pigs.

Following these two braised pigs, there were other people carrying whole chickens, whole ducks, whole fish, and other such items.

Master Chen and the other Taoist priests from the sect followed him out and were all surprised to see this scene.

"This is the offering of five sacrificial animals!" Master Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Master Xuan nodded, "This must be because a believer has received the grace of the Chen family, or made a wish that came true and is now fulfilling that vow."

Offering five kinds of sacrificial animals, fulfilling vows with five kinds of sacrificial animals, and expressing gratitude with five kinds of sacrificial animals... This is the highest ritual of fulfilling vows in Taoism.

Of course, even the highest level has different distinctions.

In ancient times, ordinary people could only afford to gather one of each of the five kinds of sacrificial animals. They could only use the head and tail of a pig to represent the whole pig, as they couldn't afford to prepare a whole pig because it cost money.

It's impossible for ordinary people to get a real whole pig; the sentiment is enough.

However, if it's a wealthy family, then having several pigs as sacrificial animals is perfectly acceptable.

Even for those at a higher level, such as royalty or nobility, it would be perfectly acceptable to use gold, silver, or jade to make the five sacrificial animals, even if it were a bit more vulgar.

The long procession of people banging drums and gongs naturally attracted the attention of tourists, many of whom curiously took out their phones to take pictures.

Many people have never experienced such a pilgrimage procession and are very curious about it.

Just as Chen Han came out of the Chen family compound, a middle-aged man in his fifties suddenly waved, and then two men came out, holding up a banner:
The text reads: "Thanks to Master Chen for his teachings, which have helped my unfilial son turn over a new leaf."

Behind the middle-aged man, Wu Yan and his girlfriend (Chapter 201) were filled with embarrassment when they saw the Chen family head again.

Numerous unbearable memories flooded my mind.

My girlfriend was also wearing a mask and a hat, mainly because her thick beard and hair were really embarrassing to see.

Chen Han wasn't surprised to see Wu Yan and the other person, after all, he was the one who had personally punished this cunning person in the past.

Upon receiving the notification that the task was completed, he knew that he was connected to the other party.

The main point is that the task has been completed, which also means that the game system recognizes that the two people have corrected their ways and turned to good.

The other person no longer had that flashy outfit; he was all neatly groomed and didn't look like a hooligan at all.

Wu Yan awkwardly stepped forward and greeted Chen Han: "Greetings, Patriarch Chen."

To be honest, if the old man hadn't prepared all these things and insisted on it, he wouldn't have dared to come. He was a little afraid of this Chen family head.

Then, the middle-aged man in his fifties also came up.

Wu Yan quickly introduced, "Patriarch Chen, this is my father, Wu San. Dad, this is the Patriarch Chen I was talking to you about."

Wu San immediately knelt down before Chen Han: "Thank you, Patriarch Chen, for making my worthless son turn over a new leaf. You saved our family."

His voice trembled as he expressed his gratitude.

For him, the changes in his son during this time were truly surreal.

As a father, he was at his wits' end when his son's personality changed drastically after he entered adolescence in high school. He spent his days aimlessly associating with gangsters and ended up getting involved with criminals.

At first, he could beat the other person up, but gradually he found that he really couldn't beat them anymore. The high school kids were stronger than him when they tried to fight back.

Later, he lost all control over his son, genuinely fearing that he might be arrested by the police at any moment.

Later, every time he saw this unfilial son with a bruised and swollen face, or even sometimes with bandages on, he felt a pang in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

But what future is there in fighting, brawling, or even stabbing each other with knives?
Just as he had expected, his son was soon arrested by the police. However, after his time in jail, his son did not change his ways; instead, he became even worse.

Later, he even started acting like a big brother, and even brought his younger brothers to be called Brother Yan, which made him very angry.

This will only turn it into increasingly rotten mud, and in the end, it may lead to certain death.

Many times when he heard about gang leaders being blinded or drowning in rivers because of drug overdose, he would instinctively think of his son, which would terrify him and give him nightmares.

If he had the ability, he really wanted to create another alt account to raise.

That way, you won't have to worry all the time about not having anyone to see you off when you get old.

However, he was truly powerless in this regard, not only financially but also physically.

During this time, the son suddenly stopped messing around, and even helped the old lady cross the road. He would also greet the elders in the village, and would work hard with him even when it was hard work. He started to think about starting a legitimate business.

He actually looked out the window to make sure the sun was rising in the west.

He even slapped himself hard to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

When an unfilial son turns over a new leaf, no one can truly understand how gratified and grateful a father must have felt at that moment.

So, after learning the reason from his son, he asked the villagers to help him prepare, explained the situation, and said that he had brought people up today to thank the head of the Chen family.

Moreover, he also learned from his son how formidable this Chen family head was, and coupled with the rumors circulating about the Chen family during this period, he knew that this man was a true master.

He felt that his son's encounter with this Chen family head and being taught a lesson by him was the greatest blessing of his life.

Of course, he also hoped that his son could be forgiven.

Chen Han saw Wu San suddenly kneel down and hurriedly helped him up.

He might understand the other person's feelings, but he also didn't have the habit of being worshipped.

This scene surprised the surrounding tourists, who all took out their phones to film it, as if it were something that only happens in movies.

Tourists couldn't help but ask those in the queue, "Brother, what's going on here?" The people in the queue were originally neighbors brought by Wu San, and now that they were receiving so much attention, they naturally didn't hesitate to share.

"It's Uncle Wu's son, because this Chen family head has reformed."

Once this was mentioned, the others also chimed in with their own opinions.

"Yeah, Wu Yan used to be a real troublemaker, he was always getting into fights!"

"He not only got into fights, he's also been arrested twice!"

"After being lectured by this Chen family head, he actually started doing good deeds."

"..."

Now, the tourists watching from all around roughly understood what was going on.

Somewhat incredible.

It was the son of the kneeling uncle who went astray and was arrested twice, which clearly shows that he had done something quite wrong, and also shows that the other party is definitely a scoundrel.

Now, if these scoundrels meet the Chen family head, they'll definitely get a lesson. I don't know how they'll be taught a lesson, but in the end, they'll have a change of heart and turn over a new leaf.

So now, this uncle is here to thank the Chen family head.

Seriously, if it were anyone else, and their son was so bad, but they were taught to turn over a new leaf, wouldn't they all kowtow to the head of the Chen family?

This made the tourists even more enthusiastic about taking pictures with their phones.

What they encountered today must be a typical story from Taoist legends, a story that leads people to goodness.
Isn't this more respectable than those people who flaunt themselves in front of the camera online?

This is even more vivid than the stories in textbooks that teach people to be good.

Seeing this, Master Chen and the others nodded silently, their faces showing an indescribable sense of conviction.

As practitioners of Taoism, they actually admired the righteous deeds of their predecessors who descended the mountain with swords to rid the people of harm and guide them towards goodness.

As practitioners of Taoism, they should promote Taoist doctrines. However, due to the limitations of modern society, they often cannot or dare not do anything.

Therefore, they were deeply moved and filled with admiration when they saw the head of the Chen family guiding people towards good and persuading prodigal sons to turn back from their ways.

Chen Han helped Wu San up, but suddenly looked at the game system notification in his mind in surprise:
[Congratulations on completing the Grand Discussion Meeting quest! You have earned the sincere respect of the experts from the Chen Clan who came here, and have received special rewards: Spring Stone x1, Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone x1]

This……

I had racked my brains and tried so hard to complete the task, but it was suddenly completed. It was quite unexpected.

He looked at Master Chen and his group in surprise.

I roughly understand that it's because of Wu San, Wu Yan, and their group.

This made him admire Master Chen and his people a little more, since at least these people were true practitioners of Taoism.

At least he used mysterious methods, and these people did not make him complete the task. On the contrary, because a task to guide people to goodness was completed, the task was completed in a chain reaction.

That shows that Master Chen and others were moved and admired this, and that these Taoist priests are also such people.

So why is Taoism considered the state religion?

On the other hand, people on the other side would never admire you for something like this; instead, they would treat the rich and the poor differently.

The simplest example is that gang leader who got arrested. When Boss Ma went there, he was incredibly hospitable, offering him hot tea and a warm welcome. But when others went there, they didn't even get a cup of tea, let alone hot tea.

The key point is that completing this task also gave two rewards.

Moreover, they all seem to be good things.

However, now is not the time to focus on this, as there are other things to deal with right now.

With such a large entourage from the Wu family, father and son, they had no choice but to face their approach and enter the Chen family compound.

Refusing the other party's offer to fulfill their vow at this point would actually make them lose face.

The other party's grand gesture and fanfare were a great show of respect to the Chen family. Whether it was out of politeness, gratitude, or to comfort them, it was necessary to cooperate and go through the motions.

Fortunately, the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable and his attendants did not prohibit the use of the five sacrificial animals, so he led the group directly to the main hall.

Upon noticing the group of Taoist Master Chen who were following them, he extended an invitation: "Fellow Taoist Masters, since we've run into each other, why don't we join together to perform a prayer for these believers to fulfill their vows and bring them blessings?"

Master Chen and the others did not refuse. According to the rules of Taoism, if you go to a Taoist temple and witness a ceremony, you should show respect and offer assistance.

Therefore, the group made a lively trip to the Chen Clan's Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Hall, where a group of tourists gathered to watch and take pictures.

They all believed this would definitely become a beautiful story.

Meanwhile, on a hillside behind the mountain, a whistleblower had already set up filming equipment to film the procession making a vow. He knew about these people when they first arrived and came here specifically to film them.

Xu Bin was very curious: "Cousin, the Chen family has been so popular online these past two days, but I haven't seen you filming any videos. I thought you weren't trying to ride the Chen family's coattails anymore, but I didn't expect you to suddenly appear online today."

Mingdi felt embarrassed upon hearing this: "Is it that I'm not trying to piggyback on others' ideas? It's that those comment bloggers are piggybacking on others' ideas too quickly, and more importantly, they're using the same ideas as me. I don't want to be accused of copying others' ideas."

"The key thing is that I just posted a video yesterday, and it failed the review. When I saw that the blogger's account was banned, I was caught in the crossfire."

"So, how can we let this opportunity slip by today?"

Zhu Xueqin said with a smile, "It's quite a lively scene today, with such a grand procession coming to the Chen family to fulfill their vow."

Mingdi was already recording into his phone: "No, no, no, after infiltrating the Chen family for so long and secretly observing them, I feel that things are not that simple!"

Xu Bin and Zhu Xueqin cooperated when they saw that he had started recording.

Xu Bin: "How is it not simple?"

Mingdi frowned and said, "Whether it's the matter of sealing the demon, the mist created by those experts discussing the Dao, or this wish-fulfilling procession, they are all likely attracting outside attention."

"The true purpose of Patriarch Chen and those experts may be hidden. However, the fact that Patriarch Chen suddenly appeared in the back mountain to seal the demon suggests that there must be something in the back mountain that Patriarch Chen needs."

"Therefore, since Patriarch Chen has gathered so many experts here, believe me, the Chen family will soon reap huge benefits in the back mountain area."

"We just don't know if these things are intended for our Holy Church members, so we have to be careful."

After recording, Mingdi put away his phone and called the two of them to go back together: "Let's go, let's go back and edit the video!"

Zhu Xueqin followed behind and asked, "Mingdi, what if Patriarch Chen didn't get anything from the back mountain? You're just guessing."

Mingdi chuckled and said, "Who knows? Anyway, if Patriarch Chen comes up with something new, we can say we got it from the back mountain. If he doesn't, then after a while the hype will die down and nobody will care anymore. It's a sure thing, we don't deserve it."

Xu Bin smiled. He finally understood his cousin's strategy: it was a move that allowed him to both attack and defend.

There are only two possible outcomes anyway; if you hit the jackpot, you're incredibly lucky.

Moreover, he felt that his cousin seemed to be blessed with good fortune on the path of demonic cultivation, always seeming to have great luck.
