Chapter 97 [End of the Main Text]
Goodbye.
After watching the interview video, the barrage of comments exploded.
【???】
[I wasn't really interested at first, but now that you've mentioned it, I have to find out what this thing is.]
[Good fellow, may I ask what Master Qianlin has done that deserves praise?]
[Thank you. No matter how powerful he is, he can't be compared to Qianyang.]
[I'm speechless. What does he mean by "much better than Qianyang"? What does he mean by "he's the true master"?]
[Damn it, I feel like I'm Qianyang's pushover. I can't stand hearing that kind of talk.]
[Impossible! Qianyang is the most powerful! No objections accepted!]
Xiao Shuidao: "I don't agree with what Grandpa said!"
Qian Yang said helplessly, "There are always people who are better than you. Although I don't know the situation of this Master Qian Lin, I can be sure that I am his only disciple."
Xiao Shui nodded and said, "I remember Master Qianyang mentioned that your great master had passed away many years ago."
"Well, if this Master Qianlin was his disciple, he would have been reincarnated long ago."
Xiaoshui pondered for a moment and said, "Master Qianyang, after listening to their interview, it seems that their efforts to help others are genuine, despite the false identities."
"Um."
It is undeniable that some people have recovered their health after his treatment.
"Besides, he seems to be treating these elderly people for free. If he has no request, why would he pretend to be your senior brother?"
The director said: "In addition to the interview video, the program team has also learned some other information. Let's take a look at it with the audience."
"OK."
The picture reappeared on the big screen.
"According to the contributor, he is the son of an elderly man whom Master Qianlin had helped. The elderly man had developed gout due to years of hard labor. After several acupuncture treatments by Master Qianlin, his condition improved. As a result, he developed a deep trust in Master Qianlin and, since Master Qianlin did not accept payment, he often gave him fruits, vegetables, meat, and other things."
"At first, he was happy that his father's condition had improved and supported his relationship with Master Qianlin, because Master Qianyang had also established this kind of relationship with the elderly people in Honglian Square."
"Then, over time, the contributor discovered that his father trusted Master Qianlin's words too much, and even stopped trusting his family. He practically did whatever Master Qianlin said, and the same was true for some other elderly people who were helped by Master Qianlin. He even engaged in something unbelievable—cultivating immortals."
Qianyang: “?”
Xiao Shui was dumbfounded and asked, "What? Cultivate immortality?"
[Good guy, I just called him good guy. ]
[This is outrageous! This Qianlin Bao is a liar. Who believes him?]
[No, you're crazy, right? Cultivating immortals?! !]
[It feels like this group of people have completely gone insane. Even if Qian Yang exposes fakery on the show, they won't believe it because, in their eyes, Qian Lin is the true master.]
[I don't understand how a group of people who have lived for decades actually believe that someone can lead them to cultivate immortality?]
[That's not true. Our First Emperor also sought the elixir of immortality.]
【They are completely different in nature, so don’t confuse them. 】
[So, can one really cultivate immortality at the University of Tokyo?]
[OMG! I also want to cultivate immortality, and it would be best if I could fly with a sword!]
Is this true or not? I don't understand the reactions of Todai netizens.
【……】
【Only you foreigners believe it.】
[Wake up, how can cultivating immortality be so easy? ]
"The contributor told us that Master Qian Lin disapproved of the Qian family's seclusion. He believed that the mystical arts Qian Yang taught everyone in the livestream were merely mediocre, deliberately concealing their incompetence. In reality, everyone in the Qian family could cultivate immortality, but they were selfish and unwilling to share their immortality with ordinary people. Therefore, he left the Qian family so that everyone could learn the immortal arts and achieve immortality."
Qian Yang laughed in anger, "That's nonsense!"
"First of all, achieving immortality is nearly impossible. To put it more scientifically, physical aging is impossible to reverse. While there are some people who live to great lengths of time, longevity and immortality are different. Furthermore, a person's longevity is closely tied to their physical condition and their lifestyle habits over the years."
Jonah exclaimed, "This is astonishing! Birth, aging, sickness, and death cannot be easily changed. I never thought such an outrageous thing would happen at the University of the East."
Qian Yang said, "As they age, the elderly will have some physical problems. Because of this, they fear death and tend to trust others."
"Ah." Xiao Shui sighed, "Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something that happened in my uncle's family."
"My uncle is in poor health and often takes medicine and goes to the hospital. Most of our family's expenses go to medical expenses. Last Spring Festival, they suddenly said they had invested in a project. I put in 3,000 yuan in principal and had to sign in at the company every day. I would get 500 yuan back a week. After a month and a half, the principal was fully returned, and I could still sign in every week to receive 500 yuan in interest."
"Moreover, the more you invest, the more interest you get. So many elderly people and impoverished families followed suit and invested. Initially, they could get their principal back and earn interest. These elderly people got a taste of the sweetness. Then the company came up with a policy where a 100,000 yuan investment would triple in the second year. However, after everyone invested, the company packed up and ran away, claiming the investment had failed, and the money was never recovered."
[What the hell? My grandma also said she was investing!]
So many people have been scammed by scam companies? (Clown face)
[Right, right, right. These days, scams all start with a little sweetness, then gradually lure people into the trap.]
I can tell you that a disabled couple near my home were scammed out of over 100,000 yuan by this very same scheme. Unable to recover their money, they committed suicide by burning charcoal. Fortunately, they were discovered in time. The police are also investigating the fraudulent company, but since they had already invested and signed the contract, this matter is difficult to handle.
[Master Qianlin's tactics are the same: first, he spreads his net by offering small favors, then closes it after gaining everyone's trust.]
To be honest, if he accepted money from the elderly in the beginning, it might be true. If he didn't accept your money, it's either because his purpose wasn't just money, or because the amount was too little.
[There's no need for Qianyang to expose counterfeits, right? Anyone with a little common sense knows this is definitely a scam.]
Qian Yang said: "I suggest that the local police lock down this person as soon as possible."
"Yeah, we must not let the situation continue to develop. I feel that he is not only a liar, but also a cult." Xiao Shuidao.
The chief director said, "In that case, there's no need to release the remaining information."
Qian Yang pursed his lips and said, "Since we're talking about the Qian family's seclusion, I'd like to use this platform to make an announcement."
What?
[Qianyang's expression is very serious...]
I suddenly had a bad feeling.
【Me too. 】
Qian Yang said: "After the last episode of 'Approaching Metaphysics' is over, I will no longer continue the live broadcast."
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused a huge uproar.
【???】
[Huh? What does that mean?]
[No!!!]
[Not broadcasting live means you'll continue filming the second season of "Approaching Metaphysics," right?]
[Of course! Then let's wait for the second season of "Approaching Metaphysics"!]
【Wuwuwu, don't scare me, baby. 】
【What's the meaning? 】
[Why didn't Ms. Qianyang continue the live broadcast? 】
[That's not okay. Watching Ms. Qianyang's show has become one of my favorite things.]
[No! I'll collapse!]
The barrage reaction was quite intense. Xiaoshui and the program staff knew about this matter a long time ago, but they didn't expect her to suddenly say it on the show.
"You've probably all heard about what happened recently, including the two scams mentioned on the show. My appearance has made metaphysics a hot topic of discussion, and everyone has gone from initial skepticism and distrust to 100% trust now. I don't think this is a good thing."
Qianyang is very grateful for the love from so many people, and also hopes to get their understanding.
"I can't guarantee that something like this won't happen again. I'm very grateful for your trust and love for me, but everything is full of uncertainty. What if I, someone you all trust so much, turn bad? Or, if I have a compelling reason to deceive everyone and pull the wool over everyone's eyes, how can you prove the truth?"
"Recent events have made me realize the seriousness of the problem. Xuanmen, after all, only belongs to a small group of people, but its influence is too great. Over time, ordinary people will completely lose their voice, leading to an imbalance of power. The probability of these things happening will only increase."
Xiao Shui sighed and said, "Although I like Master Qianyang as much as everyone else, and I also like the variety show "Approaching Metaphysics" very much, and I hope it can continue indefinitely. However, Master Qianyang is right. There are more ordinary people in the world. This balance cannot be broken, otherwise chaos will surely occur."
Jonah nodded in agreement, "Ms. Qianyang has the right idea."
[Wow, I know Qianyang is right, but I can't bear to let her go.]
I once read a novel about cultivating immortality. In that world, ordinary people were like stones underfoot, trampled underfoot. No one cared about their lives, and there were no laws at all.
[Do you still remember the century-long agreement? ]
[Wuwuwu, no, I can’t stand it, I won’t accept it! ]
[Help! I really can't stop looking at Qianyang! ]
[But Qianyang can help many people, right? It's not all about disadvantages.]
While Qianyang helps others, others may also be harmed by Qianyang's subtle influence, such as internet celebrities who replicate Qianyang's livestreaming experiences to make money.
【Actually, I'm not surprised by Qianyang's decision. 】
Does anyone remember the incident with Qianqian and Xiaowei, where they tried to bribe Qianyang's principal? Imagine if Qianyang had been bribed and didn't tell the whole truth, even if it was just nonsense, would we believe her? Yes, all of us would.
The higher you stand, the harder you fall. Qianyang's influence is immense, not only domestically but globally. As she said, what if she turns bad one day? I can't even imagine it.
Ask yourself, how many of the victims of recent metaphysical fraud cases have actually read or understood Qian Yang's story? Could it be that they were deceived because Qian Yang brought metaphysics into the public eye? It made people realize that supernatural powers and illusions are real.
I guess Qianyang will eventually leave the internet. The Taoist temple is now complete, and the next leader has been found (unsurprisingly). Choosing to withdraw from this noisy internet at this time is definitely a wise choice.
I understand and respect Master Qianyang's thoughts. Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. If the Xuanmen sect grows stronger, ordinary people will definitely suffer.
…
The news that Qianyang is about to withdraw from the Internet has caused a sensation around the world.
After the show ended, Qian Yang returned to the dressing room, where Yang Wei and Qian Yu were sitting together in a daze.
"Sister, there's such a big quarrel online..." Yang Wei said in a daze.
Although I had expected it, I was still shocked by the scene online.
Although the vast majority of netizens understand and support Qianyang's choice, there are still a small number of netizens who accuse Qianyang of being selfish and evading responsibility.
Anyone who has received help from Qian Yang in the live broadcast room and speaks for her on social software will be scolded as having the ugly face of a vested interest.
However, this could not shake Qianyang's determination.
The time that has passed is simply too long, and the world today does not need Xuanmen to appear.
In other words, it’s not that it’s not needed, but the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
Just when Weibo was in turmoil, the official Qingning launched a topic event: If practicing can achieve immortality.
[#If practicing can achieve immortality# then who will suffer? ]
If spiritual practice could lead to immortality, who would control the resources?
[#If practicing can achieve immortality# What is the value of ordinary people's existence? ]
[#If spiritual practice can achieve immortality# What would happen if everyone desired immortality? ]
[#If practicing can gain immortality# This topic is still too general. Let me ask a question: If you learned to curse, would you use it on someone you dislike?]
The person who started this #IfCultivationCanAchieveImmortality# is a genius! I'm guessing it's not @方方列列, so who could it be? Such a hard guess.
[#If spiritual practice can achieve immortality# Ninety-nine percent of ordinary people in the world cannot do it. ]
…
Finally, this bloody discussion ended in the topic.
Although reluctant, everyone realizes that leaving the Internet is the best option.
With the end of the seventh episode of "Approaching Metaphysics", the last episode has finally arrived.
【Ah ...
I really can’t bear to leave.
Qian Yang returned to the Taoist temple. The eldest brother and the others weren't going anywhere. Aside from not being able to watch Qian Yang's live stream, everything else felt fine.
[Sigh, I wish the last episode was longer.]
[I have downloaded all the replays of Qianyang's live broadcast room to a USB drive overnight.]
"I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. This is the last episode of "Approaching Metaphysics." Xiaoshui sighed.
"I believe that the audience, like me, is reluctant to part with the show and Master Qianyang, but there's no way around it. All good things must come to an end."
【Stop being sentimental.】
[The main reason is that I can't bear to leave Qianyang, it has little to do with the show.]
Xiao Shui complained, "After all, we've been through so much together, don't you feel reluctant to leave the show?"
In this episode, Qianyang did not wear any makeup, nor did she wear the beautiful dress prepared by the production team.
She changed into her gray Taoist robe and carried the small cloth bag on her back.
After the eighth episode ended, she rushed directly from the filming location to the airport and flew back to Taihang City.
"This episode serves as a platform for Master Qianyang to bid farewell to the audience, and the production team has made some preparations for this." Xiao Shuidao.
"We are very grateful to Master Qianyang for giving us the opportunity to work with her. In fact, when we invited Master Qianyang, we were not sure she would agree. After all, the difference between live broadcast and live variety show is not that big." said a staff member of the program team.
"Since this is the final episode, Master Qianyang will be flying back to Taihang City after today's show, so we can only say goodbye to her on stage like the audience."
[Wow, I can't stand it. I start crying when he talks.]
[Thank you Qianyang for your companionship for nearly two years. You are truly someone I like very much.]
[At first, I was a fan of Qing Si, and I even scolded Qian Yang. Later, during the live broadcast, even though she knew what I had done, she tried her best to help me.]
[Qianyang is a soft-hearted god. I love her.]
[In the past two years, I have been moved, angry, disappointed, and powerless, but because of Qianyang, all the results have been perfect.]
Thank you for helping so many people and uncovering so many stories.
The heartfelt words made Xiaoshui, who has always been more sentimental, burst into tears.
"Thank you all for your likes." Qian Yang said.
"Of course, besides the production team and the audience, there is another group of people who also hope to say goodbye to Qianyang properly."
Everyone is already familiar with the next part. Similar routines often appear in variety shows. It is nothing more than pulling out familiar faces from the past to create a sensational atmosphere.
As expected, familiar faces gradually appeared on the big screen.
"Hello everyone, I'm Brother Wang, who sells building materials wholesale."
Brother Wang still had a boiled egg-like head, and a little girl in school uniform stood next to him.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yingying! I'm back to school!"
"I dreamed of Grandpa Tree last night. He told me to study hard in the future."
[Wow wow wow wow! Yingying is back to school! ]
【Very good! 】
Next are Cang Cang and her parents.
"Thank you, Master Qianyang, for reuniting our family of four! We have moved to Taihang City, and we can see Shuyi more often in the future."
A year later, Xiaojia's mother appeared in front of the camera with Xiaojia for the first time.
The skinny little boy grew taller and fatter that year.
Xiaoqi, who lost his parents in a daze, has grown up a little. Although he calls them uncle and aunt, he actually regards Xiaojia's parents as his own parents.
Then there is Ruyi’s adoptive mother, Wu Li.
Her mental state has almost fully recovered.
…
Qian Yang was a little dazed when he saw the familiar face appear on the big screen.
She hadn't realized how long it had been since she came down the mountain.
【I cried so hard that I was stunned. 】
【Everyone is getting better with Qianyang's help! 】
[Those scammers are so despicable! Qianyang could have saved more people!]
[It can't be entirely attributed to them, Qianyang will eventually return to the mountain.]
[I really don't want to let you go. I love Qianyang so much.]
[Wow, wow, wow, I really want everyone to see this. My whole family cried like crazy in front of the TV. We all love Qianyang so much.]
[I'm both crying and laughing. My grandma used to fight Qianyang in Honglian Square. Now she knows Qianyang is going to quit the internet and return to the mountains. Now she's going to join the army to root out the scammers.]
[Wow, hahaha, I laughed my nose off when I saw this. My grandma is also a sentimental person.]
At the end of the video, we arrived at Xiaoqian Mountain.
The Xiaoqianshan Taoist Temple, which once became a ruin, has been completely rebuilt.
The camera swooped down from a high altitude. Her disciples and believers who participated in the construction of the Taoist temple stood in front of the door. The colorful branches of the old tree were blown by the wind, as if greeting the camera.
"Master! The ancestral house is completed!"
"Wait for you to come back!"
"Master Qianyang, we'll be waiting for your return!"
"Everything has been taken care of! Your collection has been returned to its original place, and the tablets of the successive heads of the Qian family have also been retrieved and are ready for offering incense!"
"By the way, we've already bought the ingredients for dinner. We can have hot pot when you and Junior Sister come back!"
"You didn't know? Recently, Brother Song has been learning how to make hand-pulled pancakes. He already knows how to make your favorite Big Mac hand-pulled pancake!"
…
Qianyang swallowed inadvertently.
【Wow, wow, it's so nice to have such a big family.】
Qianyang never said that living alone in the mountains is actually very lonely, right? From now on, she will never be alone again!
[I cried and I got hungry. I really wanted to eat hot pot and hand-pulled pancakes.]
[I'm really curious, is the giant hand-pulled pancake really that delicious? Why is Qianyang so obsessed with it?]
[Delicious! Add all the ingredients and it's delicious!]
[Wow, I'm so hungry. Can we go to the mountain to eat hot pot tonight?]
"Master, we are waiting for your return!"
"Okay..." Qianyang responded subconsciously, and then realized that this video was just recorded in advance, and her apprentice could not hear the answer at all.
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then I will broadcast live for the last time tonight, and you can see what you have always wanted to see."
What?
"Ahhh, then I'll go out and buy the ingredients right away. I'm going to have hot pot with Qianyang tonight!"
[Brothers and sisters, today is our hot pot day! ]
Damn it, I feel like I'm going to have withdrawal symptoms after this meal.
[Great! It's really great that Qianyang exists in this world! ]
As the eighth episode of "Approaching Metaphysics" came to an end, after saying goodbye to the program staff, Qian Yang, Yang Wei, Qian Yu and others rushed to the airport and returned to Taihang City at 9:30 in the evening.
At ten o'clock sharp, the audience who had been waiting in the Qingning live broadcast room for a meal enjoyed a steaming hot pot with the Xiaoqianshan crowd across the screen in the cold spring weather.
That night, dozens of topics became hot searches.
#Click me to watch the Animal Spring Festival Gala#
#The parrot will sing "Unforgettable Tonight"#
#Vole performing acrobatics#
#Wild boar fight#
#Pigeon Bullfighting#
#Ants vs Pangolins#
#Is the lion playing chess with the tiger? #
#Shunyi did the junior high school entrance examination paper and got 100 points#
#Ghost sister cosplays as hanged ghost! #
#Mom, my eyes seem blurry, fireflies are writing in the sky#
#Little snake looking for mother#
…
That day, people recalled the fear of being dominated by animals.
At the same time, they were deeply aware of one thing.
We reject animal performances.
However, we cannot refuse the animals' insistence on performing.
In Xiaoqianshan you can even see lice fighting mantises!
Finally, at the end of the live broadcast, a topic suddenly became the number one hot search.
#QianyangGoodbye#
-END-
【Author’s words】
