System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

[Drooling: Brother Yin Jiu, and your so-called Nine Family Army, we sisters still prefer your arrogant and unruly demeanor from earlier.]

[The looks-obsessed kitten: Exactly! Just now you were loudly saying our Taoist priest was a fraud!]

……

Several girls who were in Chen Xuan's live stream from the beginning also spoke up to mock the Nine Family Army.

[Just arrived at the live stream, totally confused, but this script is seriously awful!]

[Haha, that's hilarious! But to be fair, this guy with the muscular face is a pretty good actor. Is he a master from Hengdian World Studios?]

Damn, this guy's acting skills are way better than those popular young idols!

……

Clearly, these later comments were posted by viewers who had just entered the live stream.

Since they didn't witness the whole process, they naturally assumed it was just another run-of-the-mill script.

Of course, the comments from this small group of people were quickly drowned out.

There are 130,000 people in the live stream right now, 90% of whom are die-hard fans of Yin Jiu. Seeing Yin Jiu's situation, they are all sending messages asking Chen Xuan to take action.

Chen Xuan didn't read the comments, but nodded to Yin Jiu, "I'll take care of it after I've accepted your divination fee."

"Your daughter will be out of the emergency room in half an hour. Have your wife buy a nine-inch thin hemp rope that isn't dyed, and prepare rooster blood, cinnabar, white wine, and three drops of your daughter's fingertip blood."

Chen Xuan said slowly, "Put these things into a bowl, then soak the nine-inch hemp rope in it until it is fully absorbed. Then take it out and tie it around your daughter's waist, and she will be able to get through this ordeal."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, Yin Jiu also took notes in his notebook.

"Master, I'll call my wife right now and tell her to prepare." As if remembering something, Yin Jiu asked again, "Can I make it back tonight?"

"Going back tonight?"

Chen Xuan shook his head and said something surprising: "Let's talk about surviving tonight first."

"What?! I won't survive tonight?!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Jiu's face turned pale, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Yin Jiu now completely believes Chen Xuan's words.

If he still had a sliver of hope before, the moment his wife called to tell him that their daughter had an accident, he believed it all.

Even if the master asked him to eat shit, he wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Even Yin Jiu, a streamer with over 100,000 followers, is in this state, prompting numerous viewers in the live stream to send barrage comments.

[My God, is the Taoist priest a deity? He said something happened at Ninth Brother's family, and immediately his sister-in-law called.]

[Haha, if this isn't scripted, I'll eat shit on live stream!!!]

[The guys' brains' gone completely scrambled, turned to mush.]

[I'm not trying to blow it up, I'm scared, because I used to be an atheist, and I did a lot of disrespectful things.]

[I feel like the sky has fallen! I used to throw ghost money into the donation box, and when I was a kid, I even blew firecrackers into Buddha's butt at the temple!]

[Damn, buddy upstairs, when it comes to courting death, I, Uchiha Madara, would say you're the strongest!]

So, bro, I'm really worried!?

……

Chen Xuan calculated the time and asked Yin Jiu, "Are you currently in an abandoned village in the Great Wilderness Mountains?"

"Yes, Daoist Master, I came alone for the sake of authenticity," Yin Jiu hurriedly admitted.

Chen Xuan asked again, "When you first arrived there, did you smash the abandoned temple and destroy the mountain god statue in the village because of the jeers from your fans in the live stream?"

Upon hearing this, not only did Yin Jiu turn pale, but the fans who had previously egged her on also felt a jolt of fear.

"Yes, I smashed it myself, smashed it to pieces." Yin Jiu asked in a trembling voice, "Daoist Master, am I doomed? Is the mountain god going to take revenge on me?"

Chen Xuan shook his head at this moment, "A mountain god temple that has been abandoned for many years, without any incense offerings, won't it starve to death?"

"Don't be too happy yet. That's precisely what makes it troublesome. You should know that abandoned spirits are the most popular places for all kinds of mountain spirits to occupy, and yet you've smashed their house."

Just at this time.

Behind Yin Jiu's camera, the shrubs and trees that were standing quietly suddenly swayed from side to side, as if countless creatures were desperately shaking the saplings.

Strangely, despite the commotion, Yin Jiu didn't seem to feel a single breeze.

This scene sent chills down the spines of countless viewers in the live stream, making their teeth chatter.

Holy crap, witnessing a bizarre landing!

[With such close proximity and such strong winds, it should be very noticeable here, Ninth Brother, but look at this...]

Wow, this is eye-opening! I never expected to see something a Taoist priest had spent his whole life seeking proof in his live stream.

[Master, please help! Although Brother Jiu has made some money by dispelling superstition through live streaming, that amount is nothing compared to the money he donated during the 08 earthquake and the 19 Central Plains floods!]

"Yes, Master Dao, Brother Jiu talked to us about this. He's only earned fifty or sixty yuan in all these years of live streaming, but we know that he donated no less than one hundred yuan during the two national disasters alone. Brother Jiu still has honorary certificates for donations in two different places."

【Master, don't let our Ninth Brother's ugly appearance fool you; he has a very kind heart. It's just that he was disrespectful to the gods because he wrongly blamed the master who killed his grandmother when he was a child.】

……

In the past, Yin Jiu had visited these legendary, dangerous, and deserted villages in the mountains many times in order to increase the popularity of his live streams and satisfy his fans' curiosity.

He used to be carefree and innocent, and he didn't know what fear was.

But not today. He looked around and felt that at the end of the light, there seemed to be countless dark shadows moving about in the darkness.

"Master, I don't want to die, please save me..."

Chen Xuan frowned, because he hadn't expected the creatures in this deserted village to be so ferocious.

However, when Chen Xuan saw the comments from Yin Jiu's fans in the live stream, he nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know why you're still alive even though you've done so many disrespectful things to the gods?"

Yin Jiu hurriedly shook his head.

"Because you didn't do this to make money in the first place. And, thankfully, you donated all the money you earned from live streaming over the years during the national crisis, accumulating a great deal of good karma. Otherwise, your wife would have died when she gave birth to your first son."

Yin Jiu was shocked when he heard Chen Xuan's words and broke out in a cold sweat.

Chen Xuan said, "Listen carefully, I'll tell you what to do. You need to prepare these things before midnight, otherwise I can't help you."

"Okay, I'll remember. Please tell me quickly, Daoist Master." Yin Jiu nodded vigorously and hurriedly searched for something to write down.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Xuan...

"Move your tent three meters to the left later. That spot gets eight hours of sunshine a day and is a small, sun-drenched area."

"Then turn on all the lighting equipment and put it in the tent. After that, use water and mud to reshape the mountain god statue that you smashed, just the general outline."

"Before dawn, you must kneel before the statue of the god to repent and ask him for protection. If you can hold on until dawn, you will have temporarily escaped this calamity."

“Yes, Master, I will do as you say.”

After all, Yin Jiu was the first client of Chen Xuan's live fortune telling session, and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

Chen Xuan then looked at the live stream with a serious expression.

"Yin Jiu's fans, who of you participated in encouraging Yin Jiu to smash the mountain god statue? Tonight, go to his live stream and repent as sincerely as he does. The more people there are, the more likely it is to happen."

"Otherwise, if Yin Jiu dies, you will also lose a great amount of yin virtue. Although this yin virtue will not be reflected in you, it will seriously affect your descendants."

Chen Xuan said with a serious expression, not joking, "At that time, your descendants may be born with disabilities, or they may die prematurely."

Chen Xuan's words were firm and unequivocal, leaving no room for negotiation.

This scared the viewers in the live stream who had previously encouraged Yin Jiu to smash the mountain god statue.

[Mom, I'm so scared! I'm just a working stiff renting a place in the suburbs of Beijing, I can't even imagine spending a night in Brother Jiu's live stream, sob sob.]

I so regret following your lead and letting Brother Jiu smash the mountain god temple!

"Ugh, I have to go to work tomorrow, and you're telling me I have to stay up all night repenting? How am I supposed to live like this?"

[To harm one's virtue and future generations, hehehe, I'm not afraid at all, because I have no plans to get married, let alone have children.]

[Sob, I'm a girl, and I'll definitely get married and have children someday. Sigh, so that my future child won't be born with intellectual disabilities, I'll do my best!]

[Master, I didn't explicitly encourage anyone, does watching the live stream count as participating?]

[Hey buddy upstairs, tell me, were you happy or sad when Ninth Brother smashed the statue?]

Haha, being happy is the same as participating.

Upon seeing this comment, Chen Xuan nodded and said to the viewers in the live stream, "Yes, he's right."
