Seeing that most of the people present had read "Journey to the West", it was much easier for Hou Wenjie to explain it.
He told everyone that he had discovered a primitive island at sea, which contained the legendary Flower and Fruit Mountain Grotto.
It also tells how he finally met the mastermind behind the scenes, Kukai, and the three lifetimes of the monk Kukai, as well as his entanglements with Sun Wukong, Xuanzang, and many other Buddhas.
Finally, there was the ultimate battle, a fierce fight between him and the monk Kukai. Kukai went completely mad, sinking the island of Kazuma and forging a nine-ringed staff from living people. He was utterly vicious and his crimes were unforgivable.
Fortunately, he finally managed to kill the monk Kukai.
Hou Wenjie's storytelling was not particularly engaging; he was not an outstanding orator or storyteller.
His storytelling is dry and unrefined, but the general logic is sound.
Because the event itself was so novel, everyone present listened very attentively, but the more they listened, the stranger their expressions became.
It wasn't until they heard that the island had sunk that everyone started paying attention to the eyes of the other people present.
Everyone who made eye contact understood the other's gaze.
They were all screaming in their hearts.
"That's a truly ruthless person! In the end, he didn't shed a single drop of blood himself!"
"It feels so hard to hold back! But why does it feel so good and cathartic to listen to?"
"Haha, that's how we do things, so that no one can find fault with us."
May the people of the island rest in peace in heaven, Amen!
…
After listening to Hou Wenjie's explanation, Li Xuewen tried his best to appear serious, but he couldn't suppress the slight upturn at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Hou Wenjie and said, "Brother Hou, this report of yours is really difficult for me to write!"
Hou Wenjie casually replied, "Just report it truthfully, and the higher-ups will naturally take that into consideration."
“That makes sense.” Li Xuewen stopped worrying about it and said, “Let’s join a WeChat group so we can keep in touch.”
“Okay!” Hou Wenjie naturally had no reason to refuse.
Hou Wenjie took out his phone, scanned a QR code, and was added to a group called "Yuhang Night Watchmen".
Following Li Xuewen's lead, the others present also stepped forward to exchange contact information with Hou Wenjie.
Two of the girls in uniforms insisted on taking several photos with Hou Wenjie, giving him a taste of what it's like to be an idol.
Hou Wenjie still remembers that he once traveled back in time to become an idol trainee. He didn't feel anything at the time, but now he feels great.
Is it a delayed reaction? But this is going on for way too long.
This feeling of youthful exuberance makes everything seem wonderful.
The oppressive feeling of the eerie presence dissipated, and everyone chatted freely, as if they were old friends.
Of course, most of the time, Hou Wenjie was the one listening, watching them play around, and noticing the glances that were stealing his attention everywhere.
Sometimes, genuine interaction between people can truly cleanse a person's heart of impurities and allow their spirit to be temporarily elevated.
People in this environment will feel very relaxed.
At 10:10 p.m., Hou Wenjie knew he had to leave before midnight and enter the Zixuan Cave to see the sky.
Although he also discovered the Flower and Fruit Mountain Grotto-Heaven and the Eastern Pure Land of Glazed Glass, the Purple Mystery Cave Illuminating Heaven was closer to home, and he was attached to the place and nostalgic, having already gotten used to cultivating in the Purple Mystery Cave Illuminating Heaven.
After saying goodbye to everyone, he got back into his red sports car. The navigation showed that his car was 781.03 kilometers away from his destination. Well, that should take 50 minutes.
After he left, the atmosphere in the Hall of Ghost Stories became somber and solemn again, and everyone observed a moment of silence for the two fallen team members.
…
Meanwhile, news about the sinking of He Island spread like wildfire across the internet.
Bald Eagle News: [Heavy sorrow! The island sank after a devastating earthquake!]
Chongqing Daily: [He Island is no more. May all the people of He Island rest in peace in heaven.]
The Great Cold Nation Report: [The tsunami caused by the sinking of He Island has caused enormous damage to our country.]
…
Of course, there were also reports in some tabloids.
The report stated that the whistleblower confidently claimed that his friend from the island had called him before his death, saying that he had seen the Giant of Light and that the Giant of Light had caused the earthquake.
As more and more revelations surfaced, all sorts of news stories emerged.
Some say that the island sank because its latest nuclear weapon test failed.
Some say that a massive plague broke out suddenly before the island sank, and many people turned into zombies.
Some say that the nuclear wastewater previously discharged from Kazuo Island caused fundamental changes in the ocean structure, ultimately leading to the island's premature sinking.
…
The internet was unusually lively that night.
After Li Xuewen sent a new report to the Great Han Strange Affairs Bureau, the higher-ups immediately convened an emergency meeting.
Zhang Zhenguo, the director of the Bureau of Strange Affairs, spoke up: "What do you all think of this report?"
One high-ranking official expressed concern: "The fact that an individual's power can be so great as to destroy a country always worries me!"
Another high-ranking official said, "There's no need to worry too much. Cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind! I've read his book, 'The Origin and Flow of Qi,' and truly evil people can't cultivate to his level."
Moreover, according to the book, once he completes the cultivation, he will soon transform into a rainbow and ascend to a higher-dimensional world.
An elderly man wearing glasses nearby said, "I have a detailed understanding of his personal information. From what I can see, although he has gone a bit too far, he is still a good person in a social sense, and he is currently actively dealing with strange incidents in various places."
An elderly man with a square face said, "The strange waves are getting stronger and stronger. It's a good thing that such a young man, who is like a god or Buddha, is here to suppress them!"
We can't push him to the opposite side. People are all human, and I believe that treating others with sincerity is the most important thing.
As for the future, isn't there that book, *The Origin and Flow of Qi*? With the nationwide expansion of Taoist temple construction and the establishment of Taoist universities in each prefecture, surely there will be a couple of people with high comprehension among so many people in the country!
…
This meeting established two points.
First, continue to increase support for Hou Wenjie, whose authority is only slightly lower than that of the Director of the Bureau of Mysteries, and apply to secretly award him the Great Han Kingdom Medal.
Second, apply for the opening of Taoist temple construction and the establishment of Taoist universities in various states.
…
After speeding along the way, Hou Wenjie arrived at Zixuan Cave Zhaotian before 11 p.m.
When the time came, Hou Wenjie stepped into the cave and began to sit cross-legged in meditation, trying to regain his senses before death!
The continuous stream of sunlight flooded into my sea of consciousness, making my spiritual light shine even brighter!
It illuminates many acupoints in the human body, nourishing the sea of consciousness and the embryo!
The voice of the Great Dao echoed continuously above the sea of consciousness.
[Without eye contact with color or nose smell, with a righteous mind and sincere intention, guard your true nature. The three realms are empty and devoid of anything; thus, you are neither born nor die, and your lifespan is extended!]
