Chapter 41: 041 I Call on Everyone to Sharpen Your Eyes and Believe in Science! (Requesting monthly passes! Seeking bookmarks!)
At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, several police officers looked at Zhang Tong, who was sitting in the car, and asked again, “Mr. Zhang, we’re already at the foot of the mountain, are you sure you don’t want to co up with us?”
Zhang Tong shook his head like a rattle drum.
He would rather die than go up the mountain again.
With his current bad luck, he could trip over three tis just walking a short distance, where would he find the courage to climb a mountain?
He might not even know how he died.
The police officers nodded.
“Alright then, you sit in the car, and we’ll go up and ask for you.”
The police officers did not force Zhang Tong any further.
They headed up the mountain themselves.
…
Up on the mountain, the police officers entered the Taoist Temple and found Taoist Jing Xuan, asking him to lead the way as they had so matters to discuss with the Heavenly Master.
Seeing the police arrive at Qingyun Mountain and expressly asking to see the Heavenly Master,
the tourists on Qingyun Mountain were very curious.
What had happened?
Why had the police co to Qingyun Mountain?
Suddenly, a large crowd of onlookers gathered there.
Taoist Jing Xuan himself did not know what the police were there for.
However, he still had to inform the Heavenly Master about this matter.
Taoist Jing Xuan went to the Heavenly Master Mansion and reported the matter to Qin Hao.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao said, “Oh? The police want to see ?”
Although he didn’t know what the matter was, he had to give the officials of Dragon Country a bit of face.
Qin Hao put down the Talisman Pen he held and walked out.
“Let’s go, I’ll et with them.”
Qin Hao left the Heavenly Master Mansion and made his way to the Three Pure Ones Hall.
Outside the Three Pure Ones Hall, several police officers had already been waiting for a long ti.
Seeing Taoist Jing Xuan finally bring the Heavenly Master,
the police officers quickly approached: “Heavenly Master Qin, your reputation precedes you.”
Qin Hao greeted them and inquired, “Infinite Heavenly Venerable, may I know what matters the officers have co to for?”
The police said, “Here’s the situation: our precinct received a report yesterday, claiming that soone had been cursed on Qingyun Mountain, so we ca to conduct a routine investigation.
Heavenly Master, do you recognize this person?”
The police officer showed Qin Hao a photo.
In the photo was Zhang Tong.
Qin Hao glanced at it and recognized the guy.
The one who caused a disturbance in the Three Pure Ones Hall more than half a month ago.
Qin Hao said, “I seem to recognize this layman a bit, should know him.”
Taoist Jing Xuan, who stood behind Qin Hao, also comnted, “This individual had previously caused trouble in our Three Pure Ones Hall and later got hit on the head by the copper gourd from the Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad’s divine statue, wasn’t he hospitalized afterwards?”
The police officers nodded: “His na is Zhang Tong, according to him, he was influenced by his live-stream audience and brought his son to Qingyun Mountain to cause trouble.
But ever since that day, he’s been unlucky every day, like he’s been cursed with bad luck; even when he sits still, misfortune finds him.
Within just half a month, the man has been tornted to the point of full-body injuries, with doctors unable to find a cause.”
The police officer paused for a mont, looked at Qin Hao, and asked, “Heavenly Master, I’ve heard that there is sothing called talismans on Qingyun Mountain? People in the Xuann Sect, proficient in spells, can indeed curse others to bring misfortune, is there such a thing?”
The police had suspicions, and it wasn’t without reason.
If they had no evidence, they definitely wouldn’t co to Qingyun Mountain to confront the Heavenly Master face to face.
The key is the police couldn’t help coming.
But now, videos of the Taoist Masters from Qingyun Mountain are all over the internet.
These Taoist Masters, one by one, ferocious as tigers, showing various miraculous effects of Xuann Talismans.
They are not blind.
So, it would be sowhat unreasonable not to seek the truth.
The police looked at Qin Hao, waiting for his answer.
However, at that mont, Qin Hao responded with his own question: “Infinite Heavenly Venerate! Officer, what talismans? What are spells? Poor Dao doesn’t understand these things!”
Several police officers: “…”
Good gracious!
Heavenly Master, that’s a bit much.
When Zhou Yuanpeng ca to challenge you, you split his ‘Challenge the Heavenly Master’ placard with a Hand Palm Thunder on the spot.
During the rains in Longguang City, it was you alone with a sword who cast the Rain Stopping Spell, stopping the heavy rain instantly.
During the beast tide on Qingyun Mountain, several dozen Taoist Masters ca down the mountain, with Healing Charms, immobilization talismans.
Plus the Taoist Masters’ Protective Golden Light, and Flas in their palms.
Do you think we’re blind?
Now you say you don’t know what spells or talismans are?
The police did not even know what to say.
The suspect was very cunning, adamantly denying everything!
The police helplessly said, “Heavenly Master, the facts are before us, just admit it, doesn’t your Xuann have a saying, ‘Monks do not speak lies’?”
The police’s aning was clear.
Just admit it.
After all, in Dragon Country, there are no laws that dictate casting spells on others is illegal.
Moreover, it was that Zhang Tong who ca looking for trouble first.
As long as you lift the curse from him, this matter could just go away.
We’ll turn a blind eye, as if we could do anything to the Heavenly Master?
Monks do not speak lies, Heavenly Master!
Qin Hao said, “Infinite Heavenly Venerate, officers, the saying, ‘Monks do not speak lies’ is sothing Buddhist monks say, what does it have to do with us Taoist priests?
I really don’t know what you’re talking about, spells and talismans, those are all remnants of feudal superstitions, debunked as shams decades ago.
All of us Taoists on the mountain are just ordinary people, even if we can do so things, they’re mostly just performance art stunts, how could they possibly be called spells? Everyone must believe in science! Do not promote superstitions!”
Qin Hao spoke earnestly and righteously.
Now, not only the police were stunned.
The tourists around were also astonished.
Tut-tut!
As if he really ant it.
Feudal remnants!
Can’t perform spells!
Performance art!
Street tricks!
Heavenly Master, you must have rehearsed these lines beforehand.
Your so-called feudal remnants, are you referring to a Xuann National Religion that’s been passed down for over a thousand years?
You can’t perform spells, does that an everyone with hands can do Hand Palm Thunder?
Performance art, are you talking about Taoist Jing Feng slide tackling a tiger, or riding an Immortal Crane up in the sky?
As for street tricks, are you talking about Thunder Spells? Or Wind and Rain Summoning? Or Flying Swords?
Such a compelling plea for trusting science!
Too convincing!
The police were speechless.
Not admitting it, huh.
One police officer directly took out his phone and started to show Qin Hao the videos from the internet.
One video showed Qin Hao riding an Immortal Crane alongside airplanes, the enormous crane overshadowing everything around, then shortly after, Qin Hao performing a Space Jump.
In another video, Qin Hao, cloaked in Golden Light, directed a Flying Sword and captured a Black Bear Demon,
Additionally, there was video footage of Qin Hao holding Divine Thunder, like a Heavenly God making a Divine Descent.
Police: “Are these also called science?”
Qin Hao: “Hahaha, netizens nowadays are really interesting, I myself have never watched these videos, they’re Photoshopped, you can tell they are Photoshopped imdiately, science has really co a long way, even videos can be Photoshopped to look just like the real thing.
Fellow layn, I would like to clarify formally here and now, everything on the internet is virtual, we on Qingyun Mountain have never claid to cultivate immortality! The Heavenly Master is just an ordinary person!
At the sa ti, I call upon everyone not to spread rumors, not to over-praise Xuann, there are no spells in this world, no cultivators or demons, so everybody must definitely…”
Qin Hao walked to the front of the many tourists, where a live-strear was just broadcasting.
Qin Hao simply stood in front of the cara, and was about to make a plea when, before he could finish,
the Black Bear Demon ca from behind, holding a broom in one hand, and a dustpan in another, preparing to clean the main hall.
Qin Hao frowned and smacked his lips.
Then he turned and signalled to the Black Bear Demon, saying, “You go out first, don’t you see we’re having an interview? Clean the backyard first!”
The Black Bear Demon walked in confused and walked out just as confused.
Watching the Black Bear Demon leave,
Qin Hao then turned back and continued, “So everyone must keep their eyes open and trust in science! Don’t be deceived by the fake videos online! Don’t be led astray by those with ulterior motives!”
Qin Hao finished his speech.
“Clap clap clap clap clap!”
In the main hall, a group of Taoist priests started applauding.
The Taoist priests: “Well said!”
“What the Heavenly Master said makes sense!”
“Logical and convincing!”
The other onlookers, however, had complex expressions on their faces.
Heavenly Master, are you treating us as fools or blind people?
No matter how the police questioned him, Qin Hao simply refused to admit anything.
Videos are Photoshopped, photos are fake!
Everything is just rumors!
A posture of unknowing, uncomprehending, ignorant.
The police had no recourse.
However, just at that mont,
from within Qin Hao’s purple robe, sothing fell to the ground.
Imdiately, everyone saw that it was a rectangular wooden token, engraved with mystical seals and characters.
The mont the token touched the ground,
“Zap!”
A white bolt of lightning struck out from the token, hitting one of the chairs in the Three Pure Ones Hall directly, turning the once-new chair instantly into a heap of charred wood.
The police were astounded.
“This…”
A Thunder Law Token, huh?
Instantly, everyone’s expressions turned odd.
Heavenly Master, is this fake too?
In the Three Pure Ones Hall, the many Taoist priests were even more shocked.
Heavenly Master, you’ve been too careless!
How did the Thunder Law Token fall out?
Is this sothing you can show them?
