Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!
Chapter 15 The Immortal Who Extends Life!
Chapter 15 The Immortal Who Extends Life!
according to rules.
Removing a deity is indeed the right of the temple.
However, it is also the right of worshippers to invoke the gods!
Lu Chen faced Zhao Zhihong directly, even though the other party was a powerful expert of the third rank or above.
They were not afraid at all.
After all, he is the younger brother of the God of Wealth!
"Manager Zhao, since you say you are a law-abiding company, then fine, I will now apply to have the shrine of the God of Wealth removed!"
According to regulations, temples are not allowed to refuse worshippers who wish to invite deities, provided the price is reasonable.
Moreover, the imperial court has regulations on the price of inviting gods. If I remember correctly, the legal price for inviting gods like the God of Wealth, who receives almost no incense offerings, is between 60 and 80. Your temple has the right to increase it by 20%, which is up to 96.
You must agree to my request to invite the gods, provided I can pay this fee.
am I right? "
Zhao Zhihong was taken aback by Lu Chen's request, but his smile widened: "Kid, yes, you're right. Looks like you've been memorizing a lot of textbook knowledge. But..."
He looked Lu Chen up and down: "Can you come up with 96? Don't think you're so great just because you were blessed by the God of Wealth once. I, Zhao Zhihong, have seen plenty of greenhorns like you."
Let me do the math for you. After yesterday's blessing, you'll at most earn a few hundred thousand.
I'll give you a higher estimate; let's say you make twenty-five.
You're still short 700,000.
The payment period for invoking the gods is one week.
In other words, you only have seven days to raise funds.
Can you raise 100,000 a day?
Also, don't think I don't know that Jun Caishen is the God of Wealth of Commerce.
You should be grateful if He gives you a windfall.
I will never grant you this twice.
So you have to earn that 700,000 entirely on your own.
Kid, it's not that I look down on you, but you still need to be down-to-earth and realistic.
Zhao Zhihong was fearless and emboldened.
But he certainly has the ability to do so.
After his conversation, he seemed to have seen right through Lu Chen.
Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh, comparing Song Hao, a mere novice villain.
Zhao Zhihong is clearly several levels above.
"Stop talking nonsense, it's my treat!"
Now that things have come to this, Lu Chen has no other choice.
The Zhao family is clearly trying to sever their connection with the God of Wealth to prevent future troubles.
Even knowing there are tigers in the mountains, Lu Chen has no choice but to head towards the tiger's den!
He could only try to find a way to get rid of the remaining 700,000.
He has at least seven days left!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhihong clapped his hands and said, "Good, that's ambitious. Then I'll give you a chance, so you won't say that our Zhao family is bullying its customers. Go to the lobby to register and pay the deposit of 200,000. Remember, you only have seven days! The deposit will not be refunded after the deadline!"
As he spoke, Zhao Zhihong patted Lu Chen on the shoulder: "If you can't pay the money when the time comes, I'll make you watch as I remove the statue of the God of Wealth!"
Lu Chen retorted sarcastically, "Fine!"
Just as the two were locked in a fierce confrontation.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the temple.
Zhao Zhihong suddenly realized something, and his eyes lit up: "They've arrived?"
Two rows of men in black rode in on rafts, roughly pushing many pilgrims aside.
A clean and tidy open space was cleared out.
Then, a magnificent procession, in rafts, went straight in.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a calm and composed demeanor, as deep and imposing as a mountain.
He doesn't look very old, but his hair is completely white.
There were several people following behind.
There were elegant ladies wearing cheongsams.
There were young people with frivolous behavior and arrogant expressions.
There was also a beautiful woman with a face like jade, who instantly attracted the attention of countless pilgrims.
Even Lu Chen's attention was drawn to the woman the moment he saw the group.
"Oh, Mr. Sun, you've finally arrived!"
Upon seeing the other party's forces, Zhao Zhihong immediately abandoned his previous imperious attitude and put on an unprecedentedly smiling face, rushing to greet them.
"Mr. Sun? The head of the Sun family in the south of the city—Sun Qingcang?"
Memories automatically surfaced in Lu Chen's mind. He knew that there were four major families in Jiangdu City: the Zhao family in the north, the Sun family in the south, the Wang family in the west, and the Qian family in the east.
The four major temples in Jiangdu City are the property of four major families.
"No wonder that beautiful woman looked familiar. It turns out she's the daughter of the Sun family. I think her name is Sun Yourong."
Lu Chen had seen the other person on television a few times.
I didn't expect to see him in person today.
It's ridiculously beautiful.
Sun Qingcang looked at Zhao Zhihong, who had a servile expression on his face, and nodded slightly: "Manager Zhao, have the venues been arranged?"
Zhao Zhihong smiled broadly: "Everything is arranged. I received instructions from my family head and immediately cleared the Longevity Hall in advance, just waiting for your arrival!"
Sun Qingcang then managed a meager smile: "Alright, Manager Zhao is very kind. I will definitely reward you handsomely once the matter is settled."
As he spoke, he looked behind him and said, "Master Tan, it's your turn to step in."
Everyone followed the sound.
A thin, middle-aged man with a goatee appeared at the doorway, walking slowly towards the group with an air of arrogance.
Among the pilgrims behind Lu Chen, someone immediately recognized him.
……
"It's him, Tan Kun!"
"It really is him, nicknamed the Immortal of Longevity!"
……
"The Immortal of Longevity?" Lu Chen's lips curled into a smirk.
That nickname is way too offensive...
Then Master Tan, who was known as the Immortal of Longevity, came to Sun Qingcang.
The latter, on the contrary, respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Master, I'm entrusting everything to you from now on!"
Master Tan, still stroking his goatee, nodded with an extremely haughty air: "Rest assured, Patriarch Sun, I will do my utmost to pray for the old man's longevity."
"Alright, this way please, Master!"
Immediately, the group, led by Zhao Zhihong, went directly to the Hall of Longevity.
Lu Chen just happened to brush past Sun Yourong.
The two suddenly locked eyes, and the other's star-like eyes were reflected in Lu Chen's pupils.
Looking again, Sun Yourong had already walked far away with the main group.
Only then did the surrounding pilgrims begin to murmur louder.
"It seems the rumors were true."
"What rumors?"
"It is said that the old master of the Sun family suddenly fainted, and rumors spread that his lifespan was coming to an end and he would soon pass away. So the Sun family went crazy searching for all kinds of spiritual practitioners who could extend the old master's life! The reward offered was astronomical!"
Lu Chen perked up his ears and keenly caught the key words in the message!
"An astronomical reward?"
He continued listening.
"But I really didn't expect the Sun family to invite Tan Kun. Although this guy is not strong, he is said to be only a second-grade spiritualist, but his affinity with the birthday star is said to be as high as 47%, which is probably among the top three in the entire Jiang Province. There are countless cases of him successfully bestowing blessings."
"Wow, that's amazing! Then Old Master Sun should be saved. Let's go, let's go and see!"
"Let's go!"
The pilgrims behind them all rushed to see what was going on.
Lu Chen also wanted to go and take a look, but then she thought, "Let's get the matter of inviting the gods settled first."
He quickly ran to the window for invoking the gods, submitted his application, and paid a deposit of 200,000 yuan.
"It seems that what my elder brother said was right; this windfall comes quickly and goes quickly."
After paying this money.
Lu Chen's account has shrunk drastically to less than 30,000.
We had just entered a period of moderate prosperity, but unexpectedly, famine is about to strike again.
"What a cruel twist of fate!"
Without time for reflection, Lu Chen took a deep breath and ran towards the Hall of Longevity.
This was the first time he had formally received a mission from a spirit medium.
Moreover, the task was issued by the Sun family.
Definitely a high-end client!
"It's a good opportunity to learn, and it will also make it easier for me to take on tasks myself in the future!"
With that thought in mind, Lu Chen quickened his pace even more.
