Chapter 333 - 166: This Is Real Too? It Really Works! (Part 2)
Key point is, if this woman isn’t a plant hired by the soldier, deliberately creating opposition, then she really has too much time on her hands.
A man can consistently hand over a salary of fifty or sixty thousand, yet this woman thinks her husband doesn’t measure up? What kind of celestial fairy is she?
After the divorce, it’s likely that the ones to make up for it would be her close friends, like her girlfriends and sisters.
But thinking about it, it’s likely the soldier hired a plant, because it’s hard to believe a woman could be this foolish.
Chen Han suddenly lost interest in watching videos, put down his phone, took out a Basic Spirit Stone, and started his cultivation.
He didn’t get up until the alarm rang the next day.
Today, his luck seemed good—right after waking up, he saw three points of starlight in the Moon Gazing Rabbit House. He walked over, and the little white rabbit cooperated by giving another point with a twitch of its tail.
Another full attendance income, quite rare.
Chen Han picked up the little white rabbit and headed to the special Spiritual Acupoint for cultivation.
Upon finishing and opening his eyes, his Little Uncle and the others had already left, but he discovered a line of Wish Power notifications in his mind.
This should be the tribe members ending their morning class at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall and offering incense, providing Wish Power for him.
He checked the data: 10,000 Wish Power (158/10000).
The tribe’s morning and evening classes to collect Wish Power seemed effective, yet the growth rate was still too slow.
So, it was time to see if visitors could provide Wish Power.
If devout visitors offering incense could also provide it, then it’s necessary to figure out how to guide them, certainly obtaining extra Wish Power.
Thinking this, Chen Han took out an empty glass bottle, then collected some Rootless Water from three old elm trees.
This Rootless Water can’t be stored in the glass bottle; it won’t last a night. Since the Talismanic Painting of Blessing and Divine Protection requires Rootless Water, it needs to be collected daily.
Just as he arrived at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, he saw Aunt painting the Blessing and Peace Talisman.
He arrived just in time to see her complete a Blessing and Peace Talisman; as she closed the circle, the cinnabar on the talisman became even more vibrant.
Success.
Aunt was delighted to see him: "Patriarch, I sent them to collect dew early today. They went to the Spirit Field Peach Tree for gathering, grinding cinnabar, and successfully painted the talisman."
Chen Han nodded, then he wouldn’t need to collect dew; the hall itself could be self-sustaining, granting 30 Peace Talismans daily.
Seeing Aunt successfully paint several Peace Talismans, he also noticed a few Palace Guards practicing reciting scriptures.
Since various rituals require them to recite different scriptures together in the future.
All four were naturally very enthusiastic, knowing the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable will indeed grant blessings, now feeling a sense of sanctity about their work.
Moreover, there’s a monthly stipend of 7,000—it’s much better than backbreaking work, isn’t it?
...
A car stopped at Chen’s Parking Lot.
Lei Wan stepped down from the car, pulling her sister along as they walked toward the Chen Family.
The sister couldn’t help but complain to her: "Lei Wan, I rarely come over to hang out, and you actually bring me here to seek a Peace Talisman? Your stance as a wife of Chu County is off."
Lei Wan, however, said mysteriously: "Wu Hui, I’ve told you these Chen Family Peace Talismans are extraordinary. Chu’s insomnia symptoms improved after getting a Peace Talisman from here, better than medicine, even more effective than sleeping pills, and without side effects."
Wu Hui found it hard to believe: "Lei Wan, are you sure you’re not kidding?"
"Do I need to joke?" Lei Wan didn’t elaborate further, leading Wu Hui into the Chen Family, asking a guide, then heading toward the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.
Her husband couldn’t come to seek Peace Talismans due to his status, but she’s different, being merely a teacher without a position. As long as she isn’t in an educational setting, there’s no restriction on offering incense and seeking talismans.
She’s unsure how long the talisman her husband has will be effective, naturally wanting a backup. Her sister doesn’t believe it now, but once she experiences the wonder, she’ll surely be astonished.
"These ancient architectures of the Chen Family are really beautiful, genuinely making one feel set in ancient times," Wu Hui praised while walking.
Just then, they suddenly heard an ’oops,’ and saw a man slip and fall to the ground.
This caught the attention of surrounding visitors; many looked over, shocked to see the man get up, accidentally step on his phone falling from his pocket.
Crack!
The man reacted, looking at the phone beneath his foot, his expression became extremely unpleasant.
"This guy is really unlucky," Wu Hui murmured softly to Lei Wan.
At this moment, they saw the man bend to pick up his phone, suddenly a ripping sound was heard—a tear appeared on his pants.
Just picking up his phone shocked him into covering his pants with a grimace, seeing numerous tourists watching him, he quickly murmured while rushing outside the Chen Family grounds.
"Is this for real, what’s going on?"
Before walking far, he stumbled, this time his phone flew out again, bouncing twice on the ground, seemingly with its screen utterly destroyed.
This left surrounding tourists slack-jawed; it’s normal for someone to be unlucky, but continuous bad luck is not normal.
Especially hearing the man’s murmur, many instinctively thought of something.
"Could this be possible?"
"Isn’t Patriarch Chen just abstract videos?"
Lei Wan also thought of this; after knowing the miraculous effect of the Peace Talisman her husband brought back, she began paying attention to the Chen Family.
The scenery here is undoubtedly beautiful, as her sister praised, the ancient buildings are well-preserved, very eye-catching.
But truly surprising are those mysterious things from the Chen Patriarch. However, those things have constantly been questioned, and after Chen Patriarch advocated believing in science, skepticism diminished.
Yet how to scientifically explain the Peace Talisman she couldn’t fathom.
And she indeed saw Chen Patriarch’s video yesterday: anyone who violated the rules of the Chen Family’s grounds would face retribution.
Chen Patriarch had warned all sorts of people not to come, but no one believed him, and many comments expressed intentions to test it.
"See, that unlucky guy over there?" Lei Wan thought, whispering to Wu Hui.
"Yeah, he really does seem unlucky," Wu Hui responded with curiosity.
Lei Wan didn’t explain further and took out her phone, playing Chen Patriarch’s video from the previous day for Wu Hui.
Wu Hui, curious and puzzled, glanced at the man scrambling to leave.
She incredulously said: "Lei Wan, don’t scare me; this is just a coincidence, right? Sometimes people just have bad luck; even drinking cold water can choke them."
"Why would I scare you?" Lei Wan took the phone back and walked directly to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.
Her sister remained skeptical, seeming only to believe once she actually obtains the Peace Talisman.
Lei Wan soon brought Wu Hui to the outside of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, where they could hear chanting from within.
Chen Han watched Aunt recite the Peaceful God Spell three times, blessing a batch of Peace Talismans, as he noticed the two entering.
This early in the morning, the number of visitors to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall was few.
Upon entering the hall, Lei Wan and Wu Hui noticed the Patriarch of the Chen Family was present.
An elderly female Daoist approached them: "Ladies, please come over here to get your incense sticks."
Lei Wan nodded, leading Wu Hui to get the incense, and scanned a QR code for 20 yuan.
QR code payments are a way for the Taoist Sect to keep up with the times, now used by the Mystic Sect as well. Some Mystic Sect’s Residence merit boxes no longer accept cash, only QR code payments.
Aunt directed them to the prayer mats, guiding them in offering incense, bowing, and going through a process.
Familiar with the mysteries of the Chen Family, Lei Wan sincerely followed the guide to the Celestial Venerable Statue. Wu Hui was more casual, treating it like a trip to a scenic spot.
She’s visited Wudang and Shaolin, quite similar in style; places talked about as mystical were actually just ordinary.
"Two faithful visitors, may the Celestial Venerable bless you," Aunt concluded with a Taoist salute, offering her blessing.
"Thank you, Daoist," Lei Wan returned the salute courteously, then placed the incense in the burner.
At that moment, Chen Han was amazed, instinctively checking the mind screen.
It worked!!!
