Chapter 143 Daily Life - Strange Business at Izumo Temple



As long as An Rugu is there, every move of Izumo Temple has attracted the attention of the entire network.

Many people travel thousands of miles by plane to Nancheng just to ask for the talisman. Those who really can't go to Nancheng hope that An Rugu can open an online store, but they have never been able to do so.

Shortly after the New Year, good news came: Izumo-kan actually opened an online store!

An Rugu's fans followed the link provided on Weibo and found the official website of Izumo Temple. When they clicked on it, many of them were instantly amazed.

The entrance animation is a landscape painting by An Rugu, with the theme of Chuyun Temple, which slowly unfolds, giving a sense of novelty. Next to it are three large characters in running script: Chuyun Temple. The strokes are smooth and flowing, with a unique style.

The website currently provides three services, one is the emotional mediation service of Dongming Star Lord and Yinyuan Star Lord, the other is the family search service of Nian Beast, and the third is the dream service of Huaimeng Grass.

When fans click on the Huaimengcao page, they are automatically redirected to the purchase interface. The picture is a red grass with detailed product descriptions written next to it. The interface is similar to other shopping websites.

"You can sign up for the lucky draw now. The deadline is 16:00. There are 200 items in total. Those who are destined to win will be able to buy them."

The price is neither too high nor too low, and is within the price range that everyone can afford.

[I clicked the lucky draw button very quickly. If it was a rush purchase, I would have gotten it. Unfortunately, it was a lucky draw. Can the host give me a black screen? ]

[Africans are self-aware. I have asked my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to join the battle! ]

[Wuwuwu, brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts, I am still a student. I want to have a good sleep so that I can get good grades. Can you please stop fighting with me? If I do well in the exams in the future, you will be my second parents.]

[Hehe, calling me dad is not an option. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield. Draw your swords, enemies! ]

When everyone was racking their brains to buy Huaimengcao, some comments with different styles appeared.

[I am really speechless. I don't understand why you want a piece of grass so much. If you can't sleep well, can't you just buy some melatonin sleeping pills? ]

[Yes, with this money, you don't buy medicine but Huaimeng Grass. You are crazy! You are eager to pay the IQ tax. It's hard to persuade you with good words. ]

Many people are pessimistic on the platform, hoping that people will not buy Huaimengcao. Among them, the most enthusiastic is the big V [Xiaokai does not eat meat]. He posted many Weibo messages in one day to dissuade people from buying it, citing classics and scriptures, which is very intimidating.

Many netizens agreed with his remarks and posted on his Weibo

【Add one, say no to IQ tax, start with me. 】

[With this little money, I might as well go out for a good meal! ]

At six o'clock in the evening, the official website system of Izumo-gu Temple opened the prize draw on time, and two hundred lucky winners were announced.

A long, endless list appeared on the page.

When netizens saw the user ID, they were stunned.

[Wait, Xiaokai doesn't eat meat, Emily... isn't this one of those influencers who said not to buy Huaimeng Grass? Why is she on the list of winners? Am I dazzled? ]

[Fuck, brothers, we've been fooled! ]

[Oh my god, I also saw many netizens who said not to buy Huaimengcao at that time appeared on the list of winners. They told others not to buy it, but secretly bought it to increase their chances of winning? Hurry up and use my Fang Tian Hua Ji to comb Xiu'er's hair into a middle part! ]

[You are really like Qin Shi Huang touching the electric switch - you are so good at winning. ]

[I really admire you guys. 】

[Xiao Kai doesn't eat meat: Hehehehe, who told you not to download the national fraud app? My three-year-old child wouldn't fall for this. ]

[I downloaded the APP, but this touched upon the APP's knowledge blind spot, but - hehehe, I didn't believe you, I still entered the lottery. ]

It turns out that many netizens who apparently agreed not to buy Huaimengcao also appeared on the list of winners.

Netizens: “???”

[I predicted your prediction...]

[No one was injured or killed in this fraud.]

[Hahahaha, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? ]

.........

Haicheng

Xiao Kai, who doesn't eat meat, also known as Su Kai, rushed back in a hurry with the express delivery.

As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly changed his shoes and opened the express package with scissors. He looked very anxious, as if there was something precious inside.

My brother, who is in high school, came out of his room with a cup of water in his hand. Seeing him unpacking the package, he asked curiously, "Which character did you buy? Turner?"

His brother likes to watch anime very much, and there are many anime character figures at home. His brother is so happy now, he must have bought some rare figures.

"It's not a figurine, it's much more advanced than a figurine."

“Ding ding ding ding ding~”

With Su Kai's exaggerated expression and drawn-out voice, he took out a leaf from the express box - a red leaf?

The younger brother glanced at the red leaves and said, "Other people buy a bunch of vegetables, but you buy just one. Great!"

"I want to buy one, but they only give me one." Su Kai smiled and evaded the question, "This thing can give me a sweet dream. I want to hold it in my arms and sleep with Catalina at night. I want to be with Catalina in my dreams!"

Katerina is his favorite anime character, and he even has a life-size pillow for her.

younger brother:"………"

Seeing his brother's disbelief, Su Kai simply handed him the red leek and sighed, "I have to live broadcast at noon, so I won't take a nap. When you take a nap later, take it with you."

"Alas, I got something with great difficulty, but I can't be the first to enjoy it. I am so sorry for it, brother. You must repay me well in the future, understand?"

My younger brother was not interested anymore. He just took the red chive leaves, said "oh", and went straight to get some water.

After returning to his room, he sat in front of his desk, looking at the pile of test papers, his head buzzing.

He ranks high in his grade, and he has spent countless time and energy to ensure this ranking. As he approaches his third year of high school, the pressure of studying is getting heavier. His parents divorced last year, and his brother is also addicted to live streaming.

Moreover, he was a quiet person who never reported good news but bad news. Over time, the pressure became heavier. In the past, he reduced his sleep time in order to do more questions, but later, he didn't know when he started to lie down but couldn't fall asleep.

My mind is filled with anxiety about grades and annoyance with my family.

It was clearly lunch time, and although his body was very tired due to insomnia for days, his mind was not sleepy at all. His cerebral cortex was highly active and he was in an abnormally excited state.

This is not normal.

He secretly took his ID card to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed him sleeping pills, which worked at first, but later he developed drug resistance and became less and less effective for him.

I slept no more than three hours a day and my body was on the verge of collapse.

The symptoms of insomnia for a month are about to overwhelm my body.

My brother held a gel pen and looked at the test paper in front of him. The Song-style words written in black ink were like a death warrant, obscure and difficult to understand.

Because of insomnia, his grades plummeted. His classmates were very puzzled and looked at him strangely. The teacher also talked to him and asked him indirectly whether he was in a premature love relationship.

Life is so tiring!

He took a deep breath and turned to look out the window. The view from the 26th floor was very beautiful.

I guess if I jump, the pain won't last long.

At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the red leaves on the desk. The leaves were thin and long, like a weed stained with paint. At first glance, they looked ordinary, but upon inspection, they were very transparent and closer spiritual.

At the same time, the faint scent of grass and trees drifted into his nostrils through the air.

For some reason, a feeling of tiredness came over him. The fatigue from the insomnia for days was overwhelming him, and he felt dizzy.

Following his instinct, he subconsciously picked up the weed and walked towards the big bed next to the desk.

Almost as soon as his hands touched the pillow, he drifted off into a dream.

In the dream, his grades were as good as ever.

His parents were no longer as harsh and mean as before, beating and scolding him at every turn. They still pampered him as they did when he was a child.

His brother did not grow apart from him as he grew older, and they did not become speechless. They talked about the latest games and future plans, just as close as when they were children.

Su Kai ended the live broadcast and went to his brother's room without stopping: "Hurry up and give me the Dream Grass. I'm going to sleep now and have a sweet dream of marrying Katerina."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no response. He looked over and saw that his brother was lying on the bed, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.

Su Kai was stunned. His brother was always a light sleeper, and he didn't wake him up even though he was so loud?!

He wanted to wake his brother up, but seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he decided not to wake him up. He also did not take the Dream Grass away and went to play games to kill time.

It was not until dinner time that he walked impatiently to his brother's room, wanting to call him to get up, but was surprised to find that he was still not awake!

Su Kai looked at his brother's peaceful sleeping face and the smile on his lips, and muttered: "What kind of sweet dream are you having? You can even smile in your sleep? I'm so angry, your sweet dream should be mine!"

It was not until long after nightfall that my brother slowly woke up.

Su Kai came in with a takeaway meal, and was relieved to see that he was awake. He complained, "You slept for so long, even a pig can't sleep as long as you. Are you hungry? Come eat!"

When my younger brother woke up, he saw that everything around him was dark. He looked confused and had a feeling that he didn't know what day it was.

After hearing his brother's voice, his eyes fell on his brother's face and stared at him for a long time.

The brother in his dream was very nice to him...but the one in reality was not bad either.

Su Kai was speechless when he was stared at: "What are you looking at? Your brother doesn't have a flower on his face!"

younger brother:"……"

He wiped his face, and the emotion in his heart disappeared: "...Brother, I had a dream. It was a good dream. This thing called Dream Grass is really effective."

A perfect and harmonious dream was like a sweet rain, soothing his inner anxiety and boredom and making him feel rare calm.

My mood suddenly improved, a touch of bright color appeared in the dark sky, and all the kindness that had been ignored appeared before me.

Life doesn't seem so bad that it's impossible to survive.

Su Kai put the takeaway on the table and said anxiously, "Hurry up and eat. Give me the Dream Grass back. I want to dream!"

But the younger brother held onto the Dream Grass and refused to let go, saying as if it was a matter of course: "Brother, I want to continue sleeping. Stop daydreaming. Katerina already has an official partner, you little mistress!"

Su Kai: “???”

The two brothers quarreled over the dream grass. In the end, the younger brother won by saying that studying was more important for high school students, and he got the right to sleep with the dream grass first.

.............

As more and more people received Huaimengcao, a new craze was set off on the Internet.

[Xiao Kai doesn't eat meat: I may not be a human, but my brother is a real dog. The Huaimeng grass that I tried so hard to get was taken away by him again.]

[The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! ]

【Oh my god, the Dream Grass is really amazing. I am a very light sleeper and easily awakened by noises. After waking up, I can't fall asleep again. As a result, I slept until dawn holding the Dream Grass today. Mom no longer has to worry about me feeling dizzy due to poor sleep. 】

[Plus one, my god, I want to worship it as a sacred artifact. I always thought I had forgotten my first love, but I actually dreamed about her last night.]

[Your words still love her...]

[Yesterday I slept with Huaimengcao holding a photo of my favorite boy band. At night I dreamed that they danced for me. Hahahahahaha. I saved money on concert tickets.]

Almost everyone who got the Huaimeng Grass couldn't help but show off their experience, making countless people who didn't get the Huaimeng Grass extremely envious.

[Is this little money what I lack? What I lack is fate! 】

[The supernatural cannot save the innocent, and krypton cannot change fate. 】

[Wow, wow, wow, I have already accepted my fate of competing with hundreds of millions of people on the Internet for two hundred Dream Grasses.]

[Alas, we Africans should really accept our fate. However, it doesn’t matter to me, but I have a European roommate. The Dream Grass he got is equivalent to the Dream Grass in our dormitory.]

[This is too much. Please don't show off your superiority in front of someone who can't even smell the scent of Dream Grass! ]

............

The online discussion is in full swing, with countless people leaving messages on the official blog, asking when Huaimengcao will be online again?

An Rugu posted a Weibo post: "Currently, only Huaimengcao is engaged in planting, and everything depends on its schedule. If the things are ready, the official blog will send another notice, so stay tuned."

[Host, look at me. I am good at farm work. I can help it get rid of insects, turn the soil and plant grass! ]

[Plus one, I graduated from an agricultural university! ]

[Unfortunately, I am a professor at an agricultural university and am proficient in herbaceous plant cultivation. ]

[Damn, is it really that hard? Is it too late for me to change my career and study agriculture? ]

An Rugu ignored the chaos on the Internet and opened the account statement.

The price of Huaimeng grass is not too high or too low, the grass can be used for a long time, and the price is still quite reasonable. More than 200 pieces of Huaimeng grass were sold for a large sum of money.

It just so happened that Tianxuan Xingjun and others finished their business and came to the Izumoguan company building.

Tianxuan Star Lord had mixed feelings in his heart: "The three Star Lords of Sha Po Lang are being judged in the Hades Palace."

"If the gods of justice in heaven came to judge these three star gods, they would probably sentence them to be stripped of their divine status and sent to reincarnation. Now the King of Hell has sentenced them to three thousand years in prison and to serve their sentences in hell."

When Xiao Bailong heard what Tianxuan Xingjun said, he smiled and said, "What kind of punishment is it to erase your memories and enter reincarnation? It's better to be punished with your memories. They must be so angry!"

This King of Hell is so cruel!

Tianxuan Star Lord felt mixed emotions and could only nod.

The judgment in hell is not as severe as that in heaven, but it is still too insulting.

He turned his head to look at the endless blue sky, feeling a rare melancholy in his heart.

Now the Heaven Palace is in ruins and many gods have fallen into deep sleep. I wonder if they will be furious when they come back and find out that the underworld has interfered in the affairs of the Heaven Palace?

Now, the Heavenly Court lost both its face and its substance.

But he couldn't say anything. After all, there was no powerful god in heaven who could compete with the Lord of the Underworld, and Sha Po Lang had gone too far this time, so he couldn't say anything.

An Rugu put down the account sheet, raised his eyes, and glanced at these star gods: "Are you going back to heaven next?"

Tianxuan Star Lord nodded and hummed: "The matter is done. The Seven Stars have returned to normal and will naturally return to the Heavenly Palace."

"What do you do in heaven? Do you work like on earth?" An Rugu asked curiously.

Tianxuan Star Lord nodded and said, "Our main job in heaven is to respond to the prayers of believers. The Big Dipper is naturally there to relieve disasters, bless and protect people!"

The little white dragon said in boredom: "You still have believers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianxuan Xingjun felt a little embarrassed, as if he had thought of something, and was a little proud: "There used to be a lot. Those kings, princes, generals and ministers would offer sacrifices to the Big Dipper every year to pray for good weather and good harvests."

Little White Dragon felt the same way and didn't think it was strange. "When the Ji River was at its peak, which emperor didn't worship the Ji River? What I'm asking is, do you still have believers now?"

Tianxuan Star Lord and other Star Lords: "..."

That is naturally very little.

Tianxuan Star Lord blinked and glanced at An Rugu. The golden light of his merit was extremely dazzling.

A human being's merit and golden light is actually greater than that of a saint he had seen before? Simply...

He had the pride of being a deity, and was unwilling to expose his weaknesses in front of humans. He said calmly, "Of course there are many. We are the gods of the Ji River. We are the Big Dipper, one of the most famous stars throughout history."

However, at this time, the youngest Kaiyang Star Lord paused and said honestly, "Tianxuan Star Lord, how can there be more? We have been awake for so long, and the number of believers who come to pray to us is less than a handful."

An Rugu and Xiao Bailong: "..."

Tianxuan Xingjun and others: "..."

Tianxuan Star Lord was speechless and glanced at Kaiyang Star Lord. "In the Dharma Ending Age, the Heavenly Palace has been severely damaged and is very different from before. The human world is also changing with each passing day. It is normal to have fewer believers. It will definitely get better in the future."

However, Kaiyang Xingjun looked depressed and sighed: "If it could get better, it would have changed long ago."

Facts have proved that people no longer worship star officials like they did in ancient times.

Little White Dragon was speechless when he heard this: "So you don't have much income, and you still have to work in heaven for free?"

Tianxuan Xingjun's face froze for a moment, and he retorted: "How can this be called working for nothing? We are maintaining the system, what else can we do? Should we come to the human world to work? What can we do?"

Xiao Bailong already had the answer, and said directly: "Those two star gods are going to catch the cheating, you can go with them, and then we will add a page for you on the official website. Many people will come to you. This business is very popular now."

Tianxuan Xingjun looked down on these things and even felt insulted: "I am a star official in the heavens, why should I help humans mediate disputes? It's too weird."

It doesn't match his noble status at all.

Little White Dragon snorted coldly: "What? You look down on catching cheating? This can earn you a lot of merit. Look at how strong the golden light of merit is on her body!"

Tianxuan Xingjun knew he was talking about An Rugu, and was very envious of her golden light of merit, but he was not so easily deceived: "It's not that simple, look at Dongming and Yinyuan, their merits are not even one ten-thousandth of hers!"

At this time, Dongming Star Lord and Yinyuan Star Lord had just returned from their business.

They were dusty and exhausted, but they did not look tired, their steps were springy and they looked visibly happy.

Many star gods turned to look at them and were suddenly stunned.

As gods, they could clearly see the merits and virtues in them, which were much more than what they had seen a few days ago, almost double.

Dongmingxingjun walked to An Rugu slowly and praised him non-stop: "This is indeed a wonderful way to catch cheating. Many people are looking for us, and the merits given by the Heavenly Dao are also very generous. It is much better than giving them the potion to relieve their misfortune."

The old men and women seemed very attentive, but in fact, they were all shrewd people and showed very little faith. These clients were in a desperate situation and had lost all hope. After seeing the two star gods being so helpful, they worshipped them to the extreme.

The gratitude and aspirations are so strong.

Although it was far inferior to what An Rugu had, they were already very satisfied.

Tianxuan Xingjun's eyes widened in surprise: "What did you do? How come you suddenly have so much more merit?"

Dongmingxingjun smiled and said, "When you first met us, we had just finished reading emotional books and hadn't received many orders. Now we work non-stop every day and can receive many orders. Isn't that a lot of merit?"

Tianxuan Xingjun recalled the number of prayers he had received, which was less than the size of a palm, and reported a very large number: "How many business can you receive in a day? Two?"

Dongming Star shook his head.

Tianxuan Xingjun's eyes widened: "Five?"

This is the number of wishes they receive in a year now!

"Twenty!"

Tianxuan Xingjun was dumbfounded: "How did you do that?!"

Dongmingxingjun took out his mobile phone, and his address book was full of calls, which was dizzying. The business was visibly booming.

Tianxuan Xingjun and others: "..."

Dongming Star Lord and his companion were very diligent. After meeting Tianxuan Star Lord, they continued to take orders.

He took a step to leave, feeling a little regretful, and looked back at Tianxuan Xingjun: “Alas, this has a great future, but you don't think highly of it.

Goodbye, if there is any trouble, I will summon you to the mortal world again."

However, the next second, Tianxuan Xingjun turned his head and looked at An Rugu with a sharp gaze, and his attitude changed 180 degrees: "...My friend, where can I read the love book they mentioned?"

The other star gods agreed with this and were eager to try it out.

Oh my god, this may sound a little weird to catch someone cheating, but it's so profitable!

As long as the merits are in place... it's not impossible to catch someone cheating.

Dongming Star Lord and Yinyuan Star Lord: "..."

An Rugu: “…”

..................

An Rugu was very active, and after preparing to let his employees enter the entertainment industry, he prepared to recruit talents. - The first step was to ask the employees of the haunted house. The haunted house was full of talents, and some people actually worked in the entertainment industry before.

Coincidentally, Xiao Zhang is the ghost she met in the live broadcast room. Previously, a destined person bought a house and moved in happily with his family. However, this community is a notorious ghost community, and most of the rooms are urns.

The man was so scared that he moved out overnight. He has now moved to a new neighborhood. He sent her a private message during the live broadcast to tell her about his recent situation to express his gratitude.

All the ghosts in that haunted neighborhood were recruited to the haunted house, and Brother Zhang was one of them.

An Rugu called the five ghosts over through the phone and met with Brother Xiao Zhang at the Izumoguan company building.

Brother Zhang patted his chest and said proudly to the five ghosts: "I used to be an ace agent. Do you know Jiang Wei? He is a first-line star. I brought him up. I have too many connections under me."

The five ghosts were a little excited. Wow, is this agent so powerful? Are they going to be famous?

However, Brother Zhang sighed immediately, feeling very melancholy: "It's a pity that the boss doesn't allow me to disturb the lives of living people, otherwise, with my connections, you will definitely be famous."

Zhu Guang felt uneasy. An Rugu allowed them to enter the entertainment industry. If they did not perform well, they might be disliked.

He quickly said, "Brother Zhang, is there any other way?"

Brother Zhang rubbed his hands and said: "I have a plan. Filming takes several months, and you have to start from minor roles. I don't know when you will become famous. Let's not film the movie first, but do other things first!"

After asking An Rugu, Brother Zhang took the five ghosts back for training.

The next day, An Rugu received a message from Brother Xiao Zhang, which was a link.

Click the link and the page will automatically jump to the Shark Live Streaming Software.

[Izumo-kan new generation boy group wg debut stage]

Because of the name of Izumo-kan, its popularity suddenly reached 100,000.

[Fuck, I'm so pissed off, who dares to take advantage of the popularity? And Izumo-kan, send him a lawyer's letter! ]

[It shouldn't be to take advantage of the popularity, I see their account has an official certification. Besides, who dares to take advantage of the popularity of Yingriyun? They just throw a talisman to prevent villains, and they are done for, right? ]

[Good boy, I just exclaimed. The wonderful business of Yingriyun has increased. 】

[Hahahahaha, so Izumo-kan is actually an internet celebrity incubation company? ]

Dynamic music rang in my ears, and five decent-looking ghosts were wearing decent suits, with sequined eye shadow on their faces and their hair combed neatly.

At first glance, he looks no different from those young handsome guys.

An Rugu looked over there carefully. This stage... seemed to be the backstage of a haunted house.

In the center stands a huge crystal glass box containing a crystal crown.

Brother Zhang came out with a microphone in his hand, and said excitedly, "Come on, the captain of the WG boy band and other members will perform a magic trick for everyone, to take something from the air!"

Zhu Guang and the other four people scattered around the glass box, formed seals with their hands, and the crown in the glass box slowly floated up.

The audience in the live broadcast room panicked when they saw this.

[Oh my god, how did it fly? This prop is so realistic, there is no trace of it at all. ]

[It's about to hit the glass box! ]

However, the physical crown seemed to be nothing and floated out of the glass box, causing netizens to drop their jaws.

Brother Zhang held the microphone and said with a smile: "To take the treasures out of the box without opening it, this is today's wonderful magic! If you are interested, please pay attention!"

After this magical scene, the popularity of the live broadcast room rose to 200,000, and the number of online people reached 10,000.

There was a tycoon with a luxurious title [Hua Hua Hua] who gave the most expensive gift.

Hua Hua Hua: [I am dying of laughter. If this magic trick of yours is real, then can we bring back our national treasure from abroad? ]

[Good man, this is a really cruel idea! How many years should he be sentenced to? ]

[More than 10,000 people in the live broadcast room testify for you that the items were not stolen! ]

[Can what we did be called stealing? The anchor picked it up and donated it to the country for free! ]

Brother Zhang was very happy. He wanted to do a live broadcast before, but those celebrities didn't want to go because they thought it was too low-class. After his death, he is now free to be himself!

He looked at the comments curiously, and was shocked to see the comments that were very "criminal". "Stop it, we should govern the country according to the law!"

The Five Ghosts became a little famous on the live streaming platform with their amazing magic. Moreover, they are not normal people, their limbs are incredibly flexible, and they learn to dance very quickly. Although their singing is very poor, it is not a big deal, and they have become a boy group that makes people shine on the platform.

Then someone wanted to sign them to star in a web drama.

Brother Zhang was so proud. He saved the country in a roundabout way. It felt so good!

The only thing that bothered him was that these fans knew they were good at magic and wanted them to steal national treasures every day. Although he wanted to do that, it was too cruel!
