"That's pretty cool of you, but how do you know this works on ghosts?"
"You are a Confucian cultivator!" Su Li said to Gu Can.
"How can I be a Confucian cultivator when I'm so dumb at studying? I just believe that the heaven and earth have righteousness. My heart is clear and open, so naturally, gods and ghosts are not afraid of me."
"The track of straw bag beauties is too niche." Su Li smiled and poured her a cup of tea.
"Susu, what is Confucian cultivation?" Zhang Zihan asked.
"He is a scholar with some accomplishments, a decent character, and a heart for the world." Su Li thought for a while and replied.
"Scholars? There are so many scholars in the world. Wouldn't Confucian scholars be everywhere in the world?" Sanshi was puzzled.
"That's why reciting the Song of Righteousness is effective. As Cancan said, if one's heart is open and honest, then naturally, gods and ghosts will not fear them. Since ancient times, the righteous spirit cultivated by gentlemen has been the natural nemesis of ghosts and monsters."
"If we encounter these things in the future, will it be helpful if we recite the "Song of Righteousness"? "Gu Chengze asked.
"I have never done anything wrong in my life, so I wouldn't be startled when someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night. King Gu, have you done anything wrong?" Gu Can asked curiously.
"When I was little, I was weak and sickly. Later, my family elders asked a fortune teller to tell my fortune. He said that I have a special constitution and am prone to attracting unclean things. Now my worldview has been shattered. If such things really exist in the world, I naturally have to worry about my life."
"Well, you do have a special physique, so this woman came here just for you."
"What do you mean?" Gu Chengze was very uneasy.
"Let me put it this way, your physique is like Tang Monk's flesh to ghosts and monsters. Fortunately, you have a precious fate and are protected by masters, so you can live safely until now." After Su Li finished speaking, Gu Chengze's face turned ugly.
"Now is the Dharma Ending Age, there are not so many ghosts. I can't remember the "Song of Righteousness", but the 24-character socialist core values are still valid. Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness." Gu Can thought about it and realized that they were his relatives after all.
"What's the explanation for this?" He Ning asked.
"These twenty-four words embody the nation's faith and can naturally suppress demons and gods."
Not only were Wen Yi and the others curious, but even the audience outside the screen was deeply shocked. In the backyard, Director Bai and the others were huddled together, silently reciting the twenty-four characters, "Socialist Core Values." They also wanted to buy some talismans from Su Li, but Su Li was out of them.
But these twenty-four words are really effective. After reciting them silently a few times, I can really calm down.
Originally, "Longing for Utopia" was to be recorded for three days each. Only the first episode, due to the National Day Gala, was agreed upon to record for a few more days. Unexpectedly, so many issues arose.
Director Bai is already in contact, and the location for the second episode will be changed. This Taohua Village is too weird.
Separation is imminent, and they will not see each other again until next week. Wen Yi held Su Li and Gu Can tightly, wishing they could pack her up and take her away.
"Okay, don't worry, you are not King Gu, and ghosts will not look for you. Remember the twenty-four-character core values, and you will definitely have no problem saving your life." Gu Can said with a smile.
"Cancan!" Wen Yi's face was so red with anger. The cool girl turned into a cute cat!
"Cancan was just teasing you. There aren't so many ghosts. Besides, I have my evil-suppressing talisman. It's okay." Su Li patted Wen Yi's shoulder.
"This is the calming tea I made. I asked Susu to bless it. Go back and drink a cup, have a good sleep, and don't think too much." Gu Can took out a can of calming tea from his backpack and handed it to her.
"Cancan, I want one too!" Zhang Zihan looked at Gu Can sadly, and once again hated himself for not being a girl!
"I have them all. I also did some this morning. It's not much, but I'm just offering some flowers to the Buddha."
"Thank you, Cancan, Susu. Without you, we wouldn't be able to see the sun today." No one was being polite. They could just introduce them to the right resources later. After all, they were now partners who had been through life and death together. There was still a long way to go, so they wouldn't be unable to repay even a can of tea.
After they separated, Gu Can returned home.
According to the original plot, she should be dead or in darkness, but now, everything is normal. Gu Can even ate a bowl of spicy rice noodles downstairs!
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Gu Can's voice arrived before he even showed up.
"I knew you would come back today. Early in the morning, your father took me to buy groceries, saying that you had worked hard and he wanted to make something delicious for you." Ji Xiaoju poked her head out of the kitchen.
"It was you who pulled me." Gu Liang muttered softly.
"Put down your luggage and go wash your hands first. You can eat soon." Gu Liang went over and took Gu Can's small suitcase and asked Gu Can to wash his hands quickly.
"good."
While eating, the three of them shared their discoveries.
"What? NPC?" Gu Can was a little surprised.
"That's right. Ever since you live-broadcasted the flag-raising ceremony and sang revolutionary songs, we've found that the world has brightened up and life seems to have returned to normal."
"But when we went to school the next day, we found that it was exactly the same as the day before. The time and place of meeting, the clothes and conversations, everything was exactly the same. It was like NPCs were going through the motions."
"I was wondering how this world mission could be so simple, it's all done with a flag-raising ceremony."
"But yesterday when you recited the Song of Righteousness and mentioned the core socialist values, I found that their sense of autonomy seemed to have increased. This morning when I went to buy vegetables, the owner of the vegetable stall didn't give me any onions!" Ji Xiaoju said that this is very important.
"He didn't even send me onions. I won't go to his house anymore." Gu Can had to stand on his mother's side.
