I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 297 This dream isn't the murderer's! Unexpected!

Chen Han was puzzled by Huang Xin's words: "Captain Huang, what happened?"

Huang Xin hurriedly explained, "Master Chen, this matter is a bit outrageous. Several tourists came to the tourism office early this morning to report that they dreamed of a murder case last night."

Indeed, the Chen family now has a large number of tourists, and their tourist patrol and guard team has been upgraded to a unit. Because of his previous contributions, he naturally got what he wanted.

The site is located in Shangyuan Village, but it is not yet completed.

However, once it's built, he plans to apply to the Chen family head to retain the Chen family's residence and rest area so that he can handle some of the conflicts between tourists within the Chen family nearby.

"What exactly happened?" Chen Han asked, surprised.

If someone has this kind of dream, they are either mentally disturbed, have actually witnessed the scene, or may even be the murderer himself.

Huang Xin explained, "Those tourists all gave the same story: someone was dissecting two corpses and using some kind of drug to treat them. Some tourists even said that the murderer committed suicide as soon as he saw them."

"But I feel the logic is wrong. If someone is seen committing murder and dismemberment, shouldn't they kill them to cover it up? It's not like they would just commit suicide without doing anything. If someone dares to commit murder and dismemberment, their psychological pressure shouldn't be that fragile. The key is, this is just a dream..."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the head of the Chen family.

After all, he had seen the stories online about tourists dreaming together, and he had believed in such things before, since he knew more about the Chen family than those people online.

He became even more convinced after receiving reports from those tourists today.

Therefore, he was very much looking forward to it.

"Let's go check on those tourists," Chen Han said, walking out of the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xin immediately understood that Chen's family did indeed possess this miraculous ability, and he quickly followed suit.

A short while later, Chen Han and Huang Xin arrived at their rest area. Inside, Chen Han asked Huang Xin to bring over a tourist who had filed a police report for questioning.

Chu Ruxue had a very exciting night. She even dreamed that she and her best friend beat up that scumbag and witnessed a murder and dismemberment case.

This also confirmed for her and her best friend that they could truly achieve the same dream at Chen's.

Moreover, unlike normal dreams, they can remember clearly what the dream was like when they wake up.

This suddenly reminded them of virtual games often mentioned online, and they felt that way.

The key point is that she and her best friend encountered the tourist they met in their dream last night, and after a conversation to confirm it, they were both shocked.

One by one, they directly cursed those ignorant people online who even claimed it was fake, a publicity stunt by that rich man Liu, but now it's clearly real.

That's why she suggested calling the police; nobody knew anything about the murder and dismemberment.

She was originally thinking about how to explain this absurd thing, saying that she saw someone committing a crime in her dream.

She had prepared a series of explanations.

Before she could even explain what had happened to the others, Huang, the officer in charge, hurriedly left.

She was brought over again by this Mr. Huang for questioning.

She was mentally prepared to repeat her explanation, but then she saw the head of the Chen family.

"Tell me everything you saw last night." Chen Han directly used the Hehuan Mantra.

Before Chu Ruxue could react, she spoke the truth.

In particular, when talking about the dream of murder and dismemberment, she went into detail: "We came out of the church and saw a man dismembering a body with a bloody saw and pouring out a lot of medicine."

“We were all stunned. Who knew that the murderer would commit suicide as soon as he saw us? But the murderer’s face was blurry and we couldn’t see it clearly.”

When she came to her senses after speaking, she saw that the head of the Chen family had already gotten up and was walking outside.

Huang Xin hurriedly followed, leaving Chu Ruxue completely bewildered.

"Patriarch Chen, what's going on?" Huang Xin asked hurriedly after following them out.

"We can rule out the possibility that the murderer was dreaming. We just don't know if it was a dream of a psychopath or a dream of a witness. It's probably a witness." From the female tourist's description, Chen Han knew that the murderer was an NPC in the dream. In addition, since the face was blurry, it couldn't be the person who was dreaming.

The key is that someone committed murder, so he is the murderer, and it's impossible for the Chen family to remain unaffected by this minor punishment.

Now, regarding these two possibilities, if it's a dream by a psychopath, that's also a bit off, as such a person couldn't possibly be devout to a deity.

Therefore, the eyewitness is likely the most likely culprit. Perhaps this incident has put immense pressure on the other party, leading them to seek solace in deities and psychological comfort. However, this matter continues to trouble them, causing them to frequently have nightmares.

"Then how do we find the other party?" Huang Xin asked subconsciously.

"That would require the other person to still be at the Chen family's place tonight and continue having this nightmare," Chen Han said simply before leaving to go to his uncle's kitchen to prepare medicinal cuisine.

During lunch, while eating medicinal food, my uncle said, "Xiao Han, yesterday I had some people set up a few more iron stoves and woks at the Lei Zhu Ling Tea's furnace room. When do you want to make that refined Ling Tea?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu asked in surprise, "Senior brother, what kind of spiritual tea have you developed this time? Our Chen clan only has one Thunder Bamboo Spiritual Tea, so we don't have many well-known specialty products."

"This afternoon!" Chen Han set a time.

In the afternoon, Xiaoyu, Xiaomi, Uncle Xiao, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng all came, curious about this Jingyi Ling Tea.

Chen Han continued recording the abstract video, saying into it, "The head of the Chen Clan Craftsmanship Hall has finished making the Spirit Iron Axe Pot and Spirit Stove. Now I'm going to collect the Yang Spirit Grass and start refining the Refined Spirit Tea."

Soon, he led his men to the vegetable garden and continued, "This area is our Chen family's spiritual plant garden, filled with all kinds of spiritual plants. This spiritual plant garden is nourished by special earth vein energy, which is why it produces the extraordinary Yang-raising spiritual grass."

Finally, his video focused on that patch of chives.

Even Chen Dagou, who was used to seeing such abstract images, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth at this moment.

However, they probably realized that this vegetable garden must be different, which is why these chives could be used to make spiritual tea.

When they thought of the earth's energy surging forth, they instinctively thought of underground feng shui formations.

As for why it wasn't there before but suddenly appears now, it's probably because Xiao Han's feng shui skills have improved. After all, everyone knows that so many Taoist priests come to the Chen family to study feng shui.

Of course, it's also possible that it was done by that ancestor.

There are probably many people who wouldn't be foolish enough to ask this question.

So when Chen Han stopped recording and said, "From now on, let's use this vegetable garden to grow chives, since the area is limited," everyone else nodded in agreement.

When Chen Han re-recorded, he had already harvested a lot of chives. He followed his uncle to Lei Zhuling's tea stove room and went into the opposite room. There were several newly built stoves inside, each with a carefully crafted yue pot.

At this time, all the windows in the room were open to allow the stoves to cool and dry.

A short while later, Chen Lin came in and handed Chen Han some goji berries, angelica, and other medicinal herbs. These were naturally meant to enhance the flavor of the Jingyiling Tea.

That's right. In the recipe for the Refined Spirit Tea, apart from the main ingredient, the Yang-Boosting Spirit Tea, the rest are just for adjusting the flavor. Otherwise, if you only stir-fry the Yang-Boosting Spirit Grass, the taste would be rather unsatisfactory. Even if it has this function, the taste is actually irrelevant.

If the taste were better, with more ingredients, it would seem more upscale, wouldn't it?

In short, it's an attribute given by the game system. As long as the chives grown in the Spirit Plant Garden as specified by the game system, and the iron axe pot built by the head of the workshop.

Even if someone else tries to crack it, they won't succeed.

He lit a fire directly and checked the temperature of the iron axe. Only when the temperature was about right did he pour the chives into the iron axe pot.

It's much easier to stir-fry this refined spiritual tea than to stir-fry Leizhu spiritual tea.

Soon, the distinctive aroma of chives wafted out as the stir-frying process began. To be honest, chives don't smell very good when simply stir-fried, except when grilled or seasoned.

At this moment, Chen Han also put in the goji berries and angelica that his uncle had brought over. He sliced ​​and chopped the angelica, poured it into the iron wok, and then continued to stir-fry it.

After that, the smell of chives was masked, and a medicinal fragrance wafted out.

The medicinal taste of goji berries and angelica is not unpleasant; on the contrary, it is rather mild, making them excellent for brewing tea.

With a simple stir-frying process, once the chives lose moisture and turn into curled tea leaves, the refined tea is successfully stir-fried.

Chen Shuisheng, Chen Dagou, and Chen Lin watched the stir-frying process intently. Seeing how easily it was cooked, they all felt that it was too casual.

"Senior brother, is it done already?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

"It's all better now, Uncle, Uncle Big Dog, Uncle Shuisheng, would you like to give it a try?"

Chen Han smiled; it was indeed cooked.

Moreover, judging from the way the younger uncle and the others are, it must be even harder for fans who see the video to stay calm, right?

Without hesitation, Chen Shuisheng took the boiling water from the Lei Zhuling tea stove opposite him and started brewing.

This refined spiritual tea only has two properties, and its taste is definitely not as good as the Thunder Bamboo Spiritual Tea. The main thing to look at is its medicinal effects.

After Chen Lin, Chen Shuisheng, and Chen Dagou drank it, Chen Han asked, "Uncle, Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng, how do you feel?"

The three of them clearly sensed something.

Chen Lin said, "My waist feels a little warm."

Chen Dagou nodded: "Yeah, my lower back feels a bit better."

Chen Han nodded.

You can feel the effect of +1, although it's definitely not as noticeable as +2, but as long as it has an effect, that's enough.

One pound of tea is enough to drink for a long time, and drinking it will definitely bring noticeable improvement.

Therefore, Chen Han also instructed: "Uncle, arrange for people to plant chives immediately. Uncle Shuisheng, you should also recruit and arrange for people to be in charge of processing this fine spiritual tea as soon as possible."

The two nodded immediately.

Especially Chen Shuisheng, although he was quite old, he still understood the psychology of men, so he knew that the price of this refined spiritual tea would definitely not be lower than that of the premium Leizhu spiritual tea.

Therefore, the clan can recruit another batch of high-paying positions. As for the clan members who already have positions, outstanding employees can be transferred to other positions as a salary increase reward.

As for the original positions that are now short-staffed, if there are no family members who can hire, then we will recruit from outside.

After handing over the instructions, Chen Han returned to his own courtyard and began editing the videos he had filmed from yesterday to today.

After editing, I opened Douyin and uploaded it with the title "Another Kind of Spirit Tea".

Chen Han hasn't posted any videos recently, but there's still a lot of buzz about the Chen family online. Although people say that the Chen family is just a publicity stunt by the wealthy Liu Ye, his videos still attract a lot of attention.

Just as he expected, when viewers saw the words "aphrodisiac effect," many people had already left comments even before finishing the video.

"I've tried the regular Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea before, and I believe this new spirit tea will be effective. My friend needs it!"

"I have a classmate who used to use his hands a lot..."

“My brother really needs it. If he doesn’t drink some of this magic tea soon, his wife will cheat on him.”

"..." Of course, the second source of amusement was the fact that the chives instantly transformed into Yangling Grass. Many people had to admire the quick thinking of this Chen family head; he really did it fast.

Of course, when they finally saw that the "Jingyi Lingcha" was just made by stir-frying chives, goji berries, and angelica root, they couldn't resist trying it.

This is spiritual tea; they can also be roasted.

In less than two hours, videos imitating the stir-frying of Jingyi Lingcha appeared online, using the same ingredients and the same stir-frying method.

I can also make Master Chen's exquisite spiritual tea!

"The same refined spiritual tea favored by the Chen family head..."

"..."

However, this also brought Chen Han a lot of attention, and he gained 20 fans, or 20 reputation points in a short period of time.

Of course, some people saw the video and immediately believed it was real, such as Chu Hao, who, as one of the agents of Lei Zhu Ling Tea, knew the Chen family very well.

Those online claims that Liu, the wealthy man, is hyping up the Chen family are utter nonsense.

Upon seeing the abstract video of the Chen family head, he immediately called the Chen family head.

It wasn't surprising that Chen Han received the call.

They must have come for the Jingyi Ling Tea.

However, after answering the phone, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Young Master Chu, you have time to call me today. Is it because the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea is sold out again?"

Chu Hao hurriedly asked, "Patriarch Chen, I saw the video you posted about the refined spiritual tea. I'd like to become a distributor for this spiritual tea."

Chen Han smiled and said, "Young Master Chu, my junior sister is handling this matter. You can contact her. I don't know the specifics."

He no longer needs to be involved in this matter. His junior sister has already planned the most important things, and he doesn't need to promise anyone anything extra, as it might disrupt her plans.

"Okay, thank you, Patriarch Chen." Chu Hao didn't press the matter. He understood what Patriarch Chen was saying, thanked him, and hung up the phone.

A short while later, reporter Wu also made a call, also inquiring about the Jingyi Ling Tea.

People online don't understand the Chen family at all, so they just parrot what others say and don't believe it. But those who know the Chen family's background will be more anxious than anyone else when they see this.

"Reporter Wu, we do have some premium spiritual tea. Contact my junior sister; I've spoken to her, and she'll definitely save some for you from the first batch." Chen Han made a promise to Reporter Wu.

After all, the other party was different from that Chu Hao. The other party had helped the Chen family several times, and no matter how big or small the help was, the Chen family recognized the favor.

Therefore, this new spiritual tea will naturally offer some preferential treatment to the recipient.

This can be considered a double standard in interpersonal relationships.

"Thank you, Patriarch Chen," Wu Ying said, then hung up the phone.

Chen Han also explained the matter to his junior sister, and then took out a primary spirit stone to cultivate the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

With only one meridian remaining, all eight meridians will soon be open, so naturally, it's essential to seize any opportunity to cultivate.

As evening fell, Chen Han prepared to enter the 'Dream Realm' to see if the murder dream the tourists had mentioned would reappear that day.

When Chen Han entered the room where the special soul-summoning banner was placed, he was unaware that others were also making preparations.

Take Huang Xin for example.

He was an uncle by profession and knew the Chen family's background very well. If it weren't for his profession, he would be more devout to the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable than countless others.

Of course, he couldn't show it on the surface, but deep down he firmly felt the Heavenly Venerable's call.

So, after chatting with the head of the Chen family for a few minutes today, he has become convinced of what the tourists said about dreaming together.

He was also pondering a question: could he also enter and witness firsthand the murderous dream the tourists had described?

According to the tourists, if you want to dream together, you first need to be able to dream.

As a police officer, he had studied this kind of knowledge.

For example, entering REM sleep makes it easier to dream because REM sleep is mainly concentrated in this stage.

The first step is to create a low-sleep environment and then control brain activity before sleep.

He didn't know if this method would work, but it was worth trying.

Chu Ruxue and her best friend are also trying it out.

Her experience reporting the incident to the police today made her realize that this matter was definitely not simple, and it seemed that the head of the Chen family was also involved.

Therefore, she felt that tonight, the Chen family head might also be dreaming along with everyone else.

Her and her best friend's method for entering dreams is the simplest: before going to sleep, they keep saying that they want to dream, that they want to dream with everyone, they just keep saying it.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night, right?
...

When Chen Han entered the 'Dream Realm', it was perhaps too early, and he didn't see anyone's dream appear for half a day.

After a long time, a dream appeared. The dream scene was obviously in the countryside, in an old house, with a family of three.

Husband, little girl, and wife, all enjoying a happy time together.

However, the faces of the husband and the little girl were somewhat blurry and unrecognizable, which suggests that it was the wife who was having the dream.

In this dream, the wife is very happy, the husband is hardworking and reliable, and the wife holds the child and counts the stars every night.

A little while later, he saw several more tourists' dreams appear.

Once these tourists' dreams began, some started influencing each other and began dreaming together, and the dreamers eventually realized what was happening.

To his surprise, he saw an unexpected person.

It's just Huang Xin, the team leader.

How could a public official be allowed in?

It seems that the clothes on their bodies could not conceal their piety.

After all, I've been with the Chen family for so long and have learned a lot, so this is understandable.

Huang Xinmeng is just being ambitious.

It was in an office, and even Chu County magistrate had to treat him with utmost respect when entering the office; he would address him as "Little Chu."

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier.

Chen Han entered Huang Xin's dream and immediately affected it. Huang Xin was stunned, then looked at Chu County in front of him, and was startled when he thought of the dream he had just had.

This must not be known to anyone.

But when he saw the Chen family head behind him, his face immediately turned awkward: "Chen family head?"

Chen Han smiled and said, "Captain Huang, Xiao Chu is still waiting for your instructions."

"Ah..." Huang Xin hurriedly waved his hand, begging for mercy: "Patriarch Chen, this is a dream... this is a dream... don't take it seriously."

Chen Han smiled and walked outside. Some tourists had been summoned into the 'Dream Realm' by the special soul-summoning banner.

Some have already entered each other's dreams and are dreaming together, while others are still dreaming alone.

Now we need to find the dream that the tourist reported to the police during the day, but we still haven't seen that dream appear.

Huang Xin seemed to have figured out the Chen family head's purpose and followed behind him.

Chen Han and Huang Xin, dressed in police uniform, naturally attracted the attention of the tourists who were dreaming, and even some members of the Chen clan came up to greet them.

The tourists understood that the appearance of the Chen family head and a police officer meant this dream might be more than it seemed, and they excitedly followed.

It turns out that what people say online about being able to dream together is true; even the head of the Chen family comes here.

This dream is incredible.

Finally, what troubled Chen Han and Huang Xin was that they had seen all the dreams, but they still couldn't find the murder case that the tourists had mentioned during the day.

“Master Chen, it seems not.” Huang Xin frowned and said, “There’s only one dream left, and it’s just a farmhouse, which is different from what the tourist told the police.”

That was the first dream Chen Han saw.

At this moment, the surrounding tourists also realized that this dream was involved in some kind of case.

At this moment, Chen Han was surprised to find that the dream of the farmhouse in front of him had changed, and it was twisting wildly, and then high-rise buildings and dark alleys appeared.

Seeing this, Chen Han realized something.

Huang Xin's words matched those of the tourist who called the police during the day, but he was even more puzzled: "This kind of alley, and the very old-fashioned architectural style, is a bit strange. According to the standards of big cities, it would have been demolished long ago in the last 10 years."

At that moment, they saw a man with a blurred face carrying a burlap sack and a saw in his hand. He then opened the sack, revealing a female corpse.

Then I saw him pick up the saw and start working on it...

A very bloody scene appeared.

The tourists who were pulled into the dream all instinctively felt like vomiting.

Huang Xin frowned.

Just as the tourist who called the police said, the man immediately took out the medicine and began to treat the condition.

Seeing this, Huang Xin couldn't hold back any longer, so he pulled out his sidearm and rushed in.

The dream was affected; the man disposing of the body looked up and saw the police, and seemingly in despair, he committed suicide.

Just like what the tourists said.

Chen Han came in, looked around, and finally looked at the outside at the end of the alley. He said calmly, "Lady who's keeping watch, you can come in and have a chat. Since you've been having this nightmare, it must have been weighing on your mind for a long time."

Upon hearing his words, Huang Xin subconsciously looked towards the end of the alley. There was someone keeping watch?
The tourists who called the police were so terrified by the murder and dismemberment dream that they didn't even notice the person who was actually having the dream.

Footsteps sounded.

When Huang Xin saw a figure dressed in Taoist robes with white hair walk in, he was clearly taken aback.

This……
