"Daxia Daily is here, a new issue of Daxia Daily!"
"Big news, folklore says that the Golden Cicada is the reincarnation of the Buddha from the Western Paradise who practiced for ten lifetimes. Eating its flesh grants immortality, and drinking its blood cures all diseases."
"Journey to the West: During the calamity, the demons from heaven descended to the mortal world, just to capture the golden cicada and devour it, thus achieving immortality."
“…”
The new issue of Daxia news shocked Daxia.
The report wasn't as the newspaper boy had said. The headline was a big one: "Shocking! Is it true that eating golden cicada flesh can lead to longevity?"
No one cares whether the statement is true or false.
But the content is very detailed.
The news content said that according to folk rumors, Jin Chanzi was the second disciple of the Buddha. Because he was distracted while listening to the teachings in Lingshan, he was demoted to the mortal world. After ten reincarnations and ascetic practices, he is now Master Xuanzang, and his flesh and blood are the purest things in the world.
There are rumors among demons that eating their flesh can grant immortality and drinking their blood can cure all diseases. This time, Jin Chanzi becomes the man of destiny and begins his journey to the West.
Until the end of the news article, only a small doubt was raised, and it was unknown whether the folk rumor was true or not.
Whether it is true or false is no longer important.
It's that title that matters.
The first clickbait report in the Great Xia Empire spread with the publication of the Great Xia Daily, and its sales were even better than before.
"There's a legend among the monks that the flesh and blood of the Golden Cicada can indeed grant immortality and cure all diseases."
"Yes, I heard about it too. Many monks disguised themselves as monks and nuns and traveled west from Chang'an. It seems that this was because of this incident. They also wanted to eat cicada meat."
"I don't know what Jin Chanzi looks like."
"Who wouldn't want immortality?"
"From Chang'an to Xiniu Hezhou, Monk Jinchan is on this road."
"Do you want to catch it?"
"It's fake, right? The report only says that it's a rumor, but it's hard to tell whether it's true or not, and they even advise people not to believe in rumors."
"There's no smoke without fire. What if it's true?"
“…”
The saying that 'eating golden cicada seeds can bring immortality' was originally only discussed among players and was occasionally heard by system characters, but it was not widely circulated.
The reports in Daxia Daily and Daxia News made these rumors spread widely among the people of Daxia.
In the cities west of Chang'an, Daxia Daily and Daxia News were particularly active in their publicity.
Newspapers were almost sold at a discount and given away, and a large number of Daxia newspapers were distributed to the hands of ordinary people.
Not only that, newspapers were also traded with caravans in the Western Regions Protectorate and even at the border with the Arab region, and were introduced into the Arab region.
As a route for the journey to the west, the border between the Arabian region and Xiniu Hezhou on the map is the only way to go.
The Arabian region is where the side activities of the Journey to the West event are located.
The refreshed Journey to the West kingdoms are all around this area.
…
"Holy crap, what kind of clever scheme is this news story about eating the flesh of golden cicadas giving you immortality?"
"A hellish scheme. Is this to instigate all the players and common people to join the Yin Jin Chanzi?"
"It looks like an overt conspiracy. Xuanzang's journey to the West was clearly arranged."
"In the Arab Dynasty forum, there's this news. Arab players have spread the word that any monk passing by must have their body checked."
"It seems that this news has spread to all the countries along the way to Xiniu Hezhou?"
"Did Lin Han spread this news?"
"It's not impossible for Lin Han, the sixth old man, to increase the strength of Journey to the West."
"In fact, killing Jin Chanzi and improving my cultivation seems to be a good idea."
"Damn it, this is Journey to the West."
"Who said there's only one way to play the Journey to the West event? Look at that old man Lin Han. During the Four Hundred and Eighty Temples event, when others joined Buddhism, he uprooted it. Isn't that also participating in the event?"
"What you said seems to make sense. It's not impossible for us to transform into one of the eighty-one difficulties on the road to becoming Jin Chanzi."
"My friend and his team are traveling west. He told me that last night, while passing through a village, he was attacked by a village woman in the middle of the night. She was trying to get her son treated."
"Holy crap, are they serious? This is truly a hellish scheme."
Among the players, there were many complaints about the extensive coverage of Jin Chanzi by Daxia Daily and Daxia News.
The next unlucky ones were the players who participated in the [Journey to the West] event, who were inexplicably targeted by demons and people with ulterior motives along the way.
…
Shuangcha Ridge, Hutou Mountain.
Lin Han rode the white tiger and stopped in front of the mountain.
This should be the place where Jin Chan met the tiger when he left the city. It is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an City. It can be reached in two days on foot, one day by riding a pet, and even faster by riding a spirit pet.
Lin Han now doesn’t know whether Jin Chanzi has passed by here.
However, now that I'm here, I have to find something to do.
"Little white tiger, look for the little tigers in the mountains." Lin Han patted the little white tiger under him.
Accompanying him on this trip were Little White Tiger and Little Dragon Girl.
"Meow!"
The little white tiger called out softly, sniffed the mountain with its nose, and slowly walked into the mountain.
Following the path, we soon entered the mountains and came to a large cave entrance. The entrance was hidden and not easy to be discovered.
“Roar~”
The little white tiger roared.
A terrified howling sound was immediately heard from the cave, and a tiger demon came out of the cave trembling, lying on the ground with its legs shaking.
The white tiger has absolute bloodline suppression over ordinary tiger monsters.
Judging from his cultivation level, the tiger demon has reached the Golden Core stage and has already transformed.
"Have you ever met an ascetic monk?" Lin Han asked.
"Sir, I've eaten many monks like the ones you mentioned. I encounter them every day." The tiger demon whimpered softly.
It had eaten a lot of monks during this period and was almost unable to digest them. It didn't know which one Lin Han was talking about.
