Chapter 042: End of the Festival
Even though the official administrators tried their best to control the situation, the riot could not be contained, and after everyone at the festival received the power, the riot escalated again.
Some irrational people even started attacking the national government. Even if there were still some people who remained rational and wanted to persuade everyone to remain calm, these crazy people would not listen at all.
They only know that they have missed this great gift and may never have the chance to change their destiny.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but become even crazier. Anyone who didn't support them would be attacked. Even if the administrator tried his best to ban people from speaking, he couldn't control the riot.
Just as he regained his sanity from the ultimate enjoyment of Dragon Vein Marrow Cleansing, the Chairman received this urgent report through his headset. His expression changed, and he quickly glanced at the square behind him, then opened the virtual screen to check the network situation.
Looking at the various questions, complaints and curses that passed by at the speed of light, the chairman's expression became more and more ugly.
He knew that if today's matter was not handled properly, flower farming would be in for a huge change.
Therefore, he did not care about anything else, and stared at the Dragon King whose expression did not change at all, and began to ask: "Your Highness, Dragon King, why are only those who participated in the ceremony receiving your grace?"
Why aren't other places doing this?
Because of the seriousness of the matter, the Chairman's voice changed. It was no longer calm and composed, but as taut as a fully drawn bowstring, which might break if a little more force was applied.
After hearing the words coming out of the loudspeaker, the audience in the square, who had not yet recovered from their shock, realized the current situation. This is a gift that only they enjoy, and no one else anywhere else has it.
And now those who have not enjoyed the benefits have started to make a fuss, and the situation is very serious, which makes the audience unable to help but worry. However, while many people looked worried, they were secretly delighted uncontrollably in their hearts.
Does this mean that they are all chosen by heaven? Otherwise, why did the Dragon King only choose Huize and the others?
Facing the chairman's questioning, Long Jun remained dignified and calm.
He knew why the administrator acted like this, and if not handled properly, this peaceful country might fall into chaos.
But so what? Cultivation is about going against the will of heaven, and the opportunity they got is already good enough. You have to know that in ancient times, there were many cases of killing and extermination of entire families in order to grab more resources.
It is true that he is the guardian of the human race, but what he is protecting is the safety and survival of the human race as a whole. The fate and opportunities of individuals have nothing to do with him.
The Dragon Lord, who was not shaken at all, looked at the machine that was broadcasting live, and said in a voice that sounded very cold: "It's all just luck. If you don't feel sad, it's hard to practice the Tao. If you feel sad, you will suffer a lot in your cultivation."
Everyone was shocked by the sudden cold attitude of Long Jun. Everyone then realized that even if a Taiyi Immortal had once sacrificed himself for humanity, he was not a machine that could be taken advantage of by them.
The majesty of the Immortal King cannot be violated.
"Heh, you humans are always like this. It seems that no matter how you change, the things in your bones can never change."
The divine dragon that had been circling the Dragon King without saying a word suddenly spoke, and this statement was a deep mockery of humans.
The dragon's attitude of no longer being friendly was like a hammer, hitting everyone's elated hearts again. After waking up, everyone realized that they were indeed too self-inflated.
"......"
For a moment, no one, including the Chairman, dared to look directly at Long Jun or say anything.
Frightened by Long Jun's aura, the people who were jumping around happily on the Internet seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water over their heads and woke up instantly.
Only then did they realize that this was not a weakling who could be defeated by cyberbullying, but a superior being who they could not neglect in the slightest.
If they continue to be so presumptuous, they will face punishment from God.
Therefore, those restless people who the online administrators could not clear out suddenly became silent. The comment section, which was filled with messages at the speed of light, was temporarily blank.
After a moment of silence, those who still had some sense dared to speak out. However, no one mentioned the previous group of people, and instead started the discussion again around Dragon Lord.
【......】
What does Long Jun mean by that? 】
[Without sadness, the path is hard to follow, and sadness weighs down one’s body to practice.] Why do you say this? The general meaning is: Don’t be sad about your rough fate, what you should be sad about is your lack of self-cultivation.
[Is this to say that it’s because our luck is not good enough that we missed out? 】
[Hmm, obviously yes]
[Okay, since I don’t have that kind of luck, who can I blame? I’ll just work harder in the future.]
[What is destined to happen will happen eventually, what is not destined to happen should not be forced]
[As the saying goes, everything is determined by fate, and we have no control over it. Some things really cannot be forced. Even if you force them, you will still lose them in the end. So everyone should relax and be content.]
[Some people have a life thinner than paper, but a heart as high as the sky]
[Ah, I envy those who got the tickets. Their fate will be different in the future.]
[Why be discouraged? Don’t give up easily until the last moment]
"......"
Faced with such a Dragon King, the Chairman did not dare to act rashly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't have the courage to speak.
As a beneficiary, you are not qualified to question the benefactor.
He had overstepped his bounds in the question he had just asked.
The President, who carried the entire country on his shoulders, sighed tiredly in his heart. He still had no experience in dealing with higher-level gods. He hoped that their reaction would not offend the Dragon King.
At this point, I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that the flower-growing god has allowed so many such situations to continue.
Maybe this is the case where there is gain and loss.
"On behalf of the more than two million people present here, I sincerely thank His Majesty the Dragon King for his grace."
Since you can't question, just thank them. The Chairman bowed to the Dragon King, and the people in the square followed the Chairman and bowed again, thanking the Dragon King for this opportunity.
No matter what, they are all vested interests. If they get benefits, they should give something in return, even if it is just a word of thanks.
Facing their actions, Long Jun still had a calm expression, neither sad about the previous offense nor happy about the current gratitude.
For a Taiyi Zhenxian, these are just passing clouds.
"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Now the Chairman had a new interpretation of Long Jun's attitude. He buried these thoughts deep in his heart and forced his attention to other things.
The sun was at its zenith, and it was time for the ceremony to end.
Now that we have invited the Dragon King and have inquired clearly about matters that can be announced to the world, we can ask outsiders to leave.
"May I ask, Lord Long, what are your plans next?" The Chairman did not dare to make arrangements directly for Lord Long and could only make arrangements according to his plan.
Long Jun glanced at the Chairman and could tell at a glance what the leader was thinking, but his work was done and there was no point in staying any longer.
"I will continue to sit on Mount Tai."
If you have any problems, come to Taishan to find him.
The Chairman understood what Mr. Long had not yet said and nodded solemnly.
Then everyone watched as the Dragon King turned into a stream of light and flew into the hall on the top of Mount Tai, just as he had come.
After Long Jun left, the chairman turned to face the square: "Well, this time our festival meeting has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you again..."
After listening to the chairman's final speech, everyone felt relieved.
Just now they were really worried about angering the Dragon King and being punished. Apart from anything else, if the Dragon King felt that they were too ungrateful and took back the dragon vein marrow cleansing that he had bestowed upon them, then they would have no place to cry.
It is more difficult to accept someone who has gained and then lost it than someone who never gained anything from the beginning.
Fortunately, as the Taiyi Immortal, Lord Long probably didn't take the cries of mere ants seriously.
Now that the Dragon King had left, people could not help but reveal their extremely excited expressions again. Everyone listened to the Chairman's speech inattentively, while constantly exchanging glances with their compatriots around them to ease their excitement that was about to explode.
Finally, after a few minutes, the chairman's speech came to an end.
Just when everyone thought everything was over, the chairman immediately said: "Next, except for the foreign guests and friends, please ask the people who grow flowers to stay in Ning'an City for the time being."
Upon hearing this request, the people below could not help themselves. Regardless of etiquette, they all whispered to those around them about the reasons why the chairman made such arrangements.
But this is also very easy to understand. We will understand it after a little discussion.
It's nothing more than that all of them have been cleansed by the power of the dragon veins, and the country must understand what changes this gift has brought to them, and by the way, give them a political education to ensure that after they return, they will not do anything harmful to society because of this heaven-sent opportunity.
Everyone was actually able to accept the country's considerations, so after a while of noise, they finally quieted down and listened to the chairman's continued arrangements.
They are not worried that the country will harm them, after all, there are so many people here. And maybe this is another opportunity.
Jiang Yongyan and Tang Wenlin both thought so.
As soon as the two heard the chairman's words, they understood the country's plan. Without any worry in their hearts, they exchanged extremely excited glances with each other.
The look in his eyes expresses 'the opportunity has come'!
Originally, the two had planned to go to Pingjing City to fight for their future after the festival, but they didn't expect that Long Jun would do such a thing. Although it disrupted their plans, it also gave them a new opportunity.
Based on the two people's feelings after bathing in the golden raindrops, not to mention washing out a top-grade spiritual root, a mid-grade spiritual root is definitely indispensable. This was the True Immortal Taiyi taking action, drawing on the power of the dragon veins to cleanse their marrow. It couldn't possibly be that he did this just to cleanse out an inferior spiritual root for them.
Since they possess mid-grade spiritual roots, there is no way the country would simply leave them alone. They are now extremely precious resources. When they officially start practicing, they will definitely be the leading group. It would be strange if the country doesn't just keep them in its hands.
It seems that now, not to mention an ordinary training school, even schools directly under the state will have a chance to make a breakthrough.
So Jiang Yongyan and Tang Wenlin were much more excited than others.
However, before everything was finalized, the two suppressed their excitement and listened carefully to the chairman's speech, not missing a single piece of information.
The chairman's subsequent words also confirmed everyone's guess. The country did not plan to do anything to them. It just arranged a comprehensive test, and the spiritual root test was included in it. After the test is completed, everyone can go back home and find their own mother. The results will be sent to each individual after they come out.
The Chairman did not specify how those who passed the spiritual root test would be arranged, but one could imagine that it was nothing more than being recruited by the country.
Regarding this, not only are people not afraid, they also agree with it wholeheartedly, and at the same time wish they were the lucky one.
After telling this last story, the festival finally came to an end.
Then, under the command of the soldiers, everyone left the square in an orderly manner and returned to their residences, waiting for further testing.
On the way, Jiang Yongyan hugged Tang Wenlin's shoulders, his face flushed with excitement, "I didn't expect to get such a great opportunity. Oh my God, I still feel like I'm dreaming. My family even thinks I might not have been there. This is all too dreamy."
Tang Wenlin was the same as him. When they were both waiting to leave the square, they received a series of life-threatening calls from their families. After talking to their family members for a long time, the two were finally freed.
However, this could not erase the excitement in the hearts of the two young people. They talked to each other while walking.
"My mom is not like that. She even said she was dreaming. Did I not come to Ning'an at all?" Tang Wenlin laughed and complained, "It took me ten minutes just to prove to her that this was reality."
The two looked at each other and laughed again.
When encountering such a great thing, everyone would feel like it is a dream.
