Chapter 77 Spirit Writing Invokes Guanyin
Yun Shu also sent a message with a solution: ask the City God for help.
Zhong Junyi saw Yun Shu's message but was somewhat worried. "The City God Temple here has no worshippers; they say it's completely ineffective. That place is almost demolished; how could it possibly be of any use?"
Yun Shu replied, "I'll send you a scripture via the fastest courier. It should arrive at your house around tomorrow afternoon. When you go to worship the City God, burn this scripture; he'll definitely help."
Zhong Junyi: [Okay!]
Whether an ordinary person can receive the City God's blessing depends on fate when they go to worship him. However, Yun Shu has a scripture that, if recited sincerely and then burned for the City God, will surely be granted a blessing.
The next day, Yun Shu got up early and mailed a scripture to Zhong Junyi.
After mailing out the items, Yun Shu went to the shop to make paper offerings. During her live stream yesterday, she received many new orders.
Yun Shu finished most of the orders first and then went live in the evening, but there were very few viewers watching the live stream today, and even fewer customers placed orders for paper offerings.
Yun Shu was originally a laid-back streamer, but some of the comments in the chat caught her attention.
[What's so interesting about making paper offerings? Everyone, go check next door! Granny Xu is going to invite a deity tonight, and it's Guanyin Bodhisattva!]
[Someone said last time that she successfully invoked a deity, and that Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in the live stream. Let's see if it's true or not today!]
[It's definitely fake, that sorceress Xu is a fraud! She sells incense and candles in her live stream, claiming that if you buy and consume her incense and candles, you'll receive the blessings of Guanyin. Only a fool would believe that!]
There were relatively few comments in the live stream today; most of them were discussing the sorceress Xu's summoning of spirits.
Yun Shu glanced at the time; it was past eleven, almost midnight. She had never heard of inviting gods at this time.
She then asked, "Who is this sorceress Xu you're talking about?"
[It's that new metaphysical streamer who became popular when you went to the island for training. She claims to know some kind of divination technique, like summoning Guanyin Bodhisattva with just a chopstick!]
I watched her live stream; it was truly amazing. There was nothing next to the chopsticks, yet they stood upright out of thin air. Then, she sprinkled flour on the table, and the chopsticks could write!
[It feels a bit like a Ouija board game. But the Guanyin Bodhisattva she summoned didn't possess a person, but rather the Guanyin statue she worshipped in her home. When the summoning was successful, the Guanyin statue would open its eyes; I was almost startled the first time I saw it.]
Seeing the comments, Yun Shu said, "Since you're asking for divine intervention, why are you afraid?"
I don't know, but the Guanyin statue's eyes just seem weird, it gives me the creeps.
"Your feeling is correct."
Yun Shu explained, "True gods don't possess people; those who possess people are not true gods. Gods look down on mortal bodies, and mortals cannot withstand the power of divine possession. Therefore, gods won't possess people; those who possess people are..."
Yun Shu stopped there and said, "Just don't believe that fortune teller, and don't let her help you with anything."
Throughout history, spirit writing has been one of the most mysterious and dangerous forbidden arts, not only rife with taboos, but also making it extremely difficult for anyone even slightly involved to escape its influence.
What are they?
[It's a ghost! I saw some people in Xu Shenpo's live stream saying that she summoned a ghost, but some brainless fans just don't believe it. Xu Shenpo even banned those netizens who said she summoned a ghost.]
[Is there something wrong with the incense and candles she sells? The sorceress, Xu, claims that eating the incense and candles will grant your wishes and cure all ailments! Yesterday, those incense and candles sold out!]
Yun Shu frowned and asked, "Aren't incense and candles just for lighting? Why do we have to eat them?"
Before the fans could even reply, a live chat request popped up in Yun Shu's chat room. The other party's account name was "Xu Guanyin's Wish Fulfilled".
That's the sorceress Xu.
Yun Shu accepted her request to connect via live stream, and their live streams were placed together, allowing fans of both to see each other's streams.
As soon as the call connected, Xu Guanyin's voice came from the live stream room: "Everyone, click the link below and eat my incense and candles as your main meal every day, and your wishes will come true. I have always wanted a child, but I have been married for many years and have not been able to get pregnant. But after eating incense and candles for three days in a row, look at my belly."
Xu Guanyin stood up, and her lower abdomen was swollen, as if she were ten months pregnant. "As my long-time fans know, I wasn't pregnant when I first started live streaming! Thanks to Guanyin Bodhisattva, I'm finally pregnant."
[That's so fake! You only started live streaming last month, and your belly is already this big in just one month?]
"Are you wearing a fake pregnancy belly? I'm a college student, maybe a little naive, and I've never had a child, but you can't treat me like an idiot!"
Seeing the skeptical comments in the live chat, Xu Guanyin lifted her clothes and said, "This is my own belly. I even went to the hospital for a checkup, and I am indeed pregnant! As for why my belly is so big, one reason is that I've always been a little chubby, and the other reason is that I'm carrying the reincarnation of the Martial Star, a peerless child, not an ordinary child. He will definitely achieve great things when he grows up!"
After explaining, Xu Guanyin looked at Yun Shu's live stream and said, "Friend, last time I invited Guanyin Bodhisattva, and netizens all over the internet witnessed it. How can you spread rumors about me?"
You can't bully me, a newcomer, just because you have more fans! I admit I'm more skilled than you, and my fortune-telling is more accurate. After all, I'm chosen by the Bodhisattva; that's something you can't get out of jealousy.
Yun Shu twitched the corner of her mouth and said expressionlessly, "Your life is shorter than mine, so I'm not jealous."
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Yun Shu is as honest as ever.]
[Yun Shu's words are going too far. Xu Guanyin is just telling the truth. I think she just doesn't want to admit her own shortcomings and is deliberately trying to be sarcastic towards Xu Guanyin.]
Yun Shu works in the funeral industry; how can she compare to Xu Guanyin? She is the representative of Guanyin Bodhisattva on earth. Don't believe me? My son had urticaria last month, and after I had him eat incense from Xu Guanyin once, he was cured that very day!
Later, whenever my son felt unwell, I would give him incense sticks to eat, and he would get better immediately each time. Now I give him to eat them every day!
[My family is the same. My mom, who had been paralyzed for four or five years, ate the red candle offered by Xu Guanyin and was cured that very day. The next day, she even jumped rope a thousand times in the park in our neighborhood, astonishing all the elderly people in the community! Now my mom eats red candles every day!]
[Fans of Xu Guanyin, don't go too far.]
[You all better be paid trolls!]
However, when netizens checked the accounts that posted those comments, they found that these accounts updated their daily lives, clearly indicating that they were not paid troll accounts but genuine fans.
Yun Shu saw this, sighed, rubbed her temples, and said, "Prepare funeral clothes and coffins for your family members. They probably don't have many days left. If you're going to eat them too, prepare some for yourselves as well. Remember to exchange all your money for ghost money; it'll make things easier for you down there."
