Chapter 35: Common Tricks
Jiang Yang looked at the post for so long that Chongming noticed something was wrong.
Chongming asked softly, "Is there anything wrong with this post?"
Jiang Yang shook his head gently, "That's right, it really hits the nail on the head."
"If I hadn't seen this [Black-Faced Justice Bao] before, I would have thought this person was another me in the world."
"Not only did he fill in the little details I had omitted, but some of his speculations added more than a little to the truth of my story."
Chongming had a negative opinion of this person. He frowned and seemed very anxious:
"He was questioning you online before, and many people believed what he said at the time. Your livestream took a big hit."
"Now he turns around and trusts you so much, practically treating your words as imperial decrees. It's not a good thing for such a fence-sitter to trust you."
Jiang Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Just think about it, if he believed me from the beginning, what's the difference between him and my fans?"
"It only makes sense if someone doesn't believe me before, but after a period of hard work, they find historical evidence that proves the story is true."
"After all, the only person a human being won't doubt is themselves."
Upon hearing this, Chongming looked at Jiang Yang with a subtle expression: "You humans are so complicated."
Jiang Yang wasn't ashamed, but rather proud of it, and jokingly said, "Of course. Otherwise, how could humans, with their frail bodies, survive in the natural world of survival of the fittest?"
Chongming seemed to have thought of something, and after a few seconds he continued, "Humans have survived among all kinds of creatures to this day. Isn't it because they believe in gods?"
"Come to think of it this way, humans are indeed quite clever, able to immediately find the most powerful race in the world and seek their protection."
Chongming didn't know if he was joking or genuinely thinking so, but he continued, "And the gods actually accepted the humans' faith and became their protectors."
Chongming suddenly sighed, "Although I've been a divine messenger for many years, to this day, I still don't know what humans did back then to elicit a response from the gods."
The pride on Jiang Yang's face froze, and following Chongming's reminder, she remembered that this world was not like her previous world where there were no gods.
The gods of this world not only exist, but have also truly protected mankind.
Whether in history books or in the inherited memories that Jiang Yang had passed down, it was not difficult to see that the gods had played a significant role in the fact that humans had been able to survive in ancient times with their weak bodies and develop into the civilization we have today.
From this perspective, there is a reason why gods are still respected and worshipped by humans even after so many dynasties.
Chongming wanted to say something else, but Jiang Yang quickly covered his mouth with his hand. "Alright, alright, I get it. Isn't it because there were no gods in my previous world that I forgot?"
Chongming was speechless and looked at Jiang Yang in silence, feeling completely bewildered.
Jiang Yang smiled slightly and was about to coax him when he heard a knock on the door.
She went forward to open the door, and standing outside was the priest from the Temple of Light who had come to pick up Chongming.
Jiang Yang first looked at the orange sky outside the window. If the sun in the west hadn't reminded her, she would have almost thought it was morning.
Jiang Yang asked in surprise, "Isn't the class tomorrow? Why are you looking for Chongming today?"
The young priest was in high spirits. After hearing Jiang Yang's question, he smiled sheepishly and then said, "Our chief priest has something to ask Master Chongming."
Jiang Yang looked at Chongming who was standing not far away and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll clean him up and then go downstairs to find you."
The young priest looked respectful and waved his hand, saying, "No need. I'll just stand here and wait for Master Chongming."
"The head priest specifically instructed me not to leave Master Chongming's side for even a moment on the way from your home to the Temple of Light."
After the little priest said that, Jiang Yang didn't know what to say. She nodded, turned around and closed the door.
"You're so good! In just a few days, you've become Master Chongming?"
Upon hearing this, Chongming's face wrinkled and he sighed helplessly, "Master Chongming is already very good. I'm just afraid that in a few days, I won't be able to resist the High Priest's request and become the Holy Son of the Temple of Light..."
"By then, I will be the undisputed future heir of the Temple of Light."
Jiang Yang chuckled, "Isn't that good? Our Master Chongming has already been an envoy of the God of Light. Wouldn't it be great to be the Son of the Temple of Light again?"
Chongming rolled his eyes and hurried out, slamming the wooden door shut and leaving only one sentence: "I'll be back today, don't worry about going to bed!"
Before Chongming's back completely disappeared from his sight, Jiang Yang responded loudly: "Yeah!"
After seeing Chongming off, Jiang Yang sat in front of the computer screen and started her rumor-mongering career again.

[The day before the thirty lashes were to be carried out, Hua Rong came to the dark room to find me.
I didn't have much communication with Hua Rong before. He was the person sent by the high priest to serve me. He was called a waiter, but in my opinion, it meant more of surveillance.
He is a careful person, doesn't talk much, is indifferent to everything, but has strong ability to get things done.
He was the only priest who stayed with me all these years.
Later, I sent him away in order to sneak into the temple.
He is so thoughtful and understands me so well. He has been by my side all these years, inseparable...
If I were to ask who in the entire priesthood is most likely to discover my plan, he would definitely be at the top of the list.
So he was sent to the Temple of Light.
I already know most of the information about the Temple of Light, and sending him there this time is just an excuse.
But I didn't expect that he actually brought back a portrait, and what I didn't expect was that he could guess everything based on just a portrait.
Faced with his questioning, I just felt bored.
He has not experienced everything that I have experienced with my God. As an outsider, he is not qualified to know everything.
Faced with my silence, he left in disappointment.
The next day, the high priest of the torture chamber came to the dark room.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I asked to be punished in front of the temple hall.
The high priest disagreed at first, but then for some reason he suddenly agreed.
I was secretly taken to the front of the temple by a group of people. The sun had just risen in the sky, and it shone on me through the thin clouds, without a trace of warmth.
Later, Hua Rong hurried over and stood in front of the crowd. He looked at me with some shock and confusion.
The high priest of the torture hall has always been old-fashioned and cruel in his tortures, which is the nightmare of many small priests in the priest's hall.
He personally carried out my execution this time. I guess they were sure that ten lashes would not kill me, but they did not want to let me go easily and wanted to teach me a lesson.
This is a common tactic used by the high priests, and I'm used to it.]
