Chapter 35: "Taoist Immortal" Boycott

The danger is still lurking, and the Xia Party is discussing the "Daoxian" meeting.

Shangcheng's experience is well known to everyone. Because of its openness, it is difficult to control when facing evil spirits, and it is full of dangers. Moreover, the Taoist immortals and the Pen Immortals have different killing methods: one is domineering and tyrannical, and the other is good at manipulating people's hearts.

If the Taoist immortal landed in Tang City first, Chen Xuan really didn’t know how many people would be sacrificed.

But now, with firsthand information… they are not unstoppable.

After watching the video, Chen Xuan had a vague guess, but he still needed more cases to support it. Fortunately, cases were the most abundant resource at present.

Only Chen Xuan could endure it, but others could not.

"Is this immortal...really a ghost?"

This is the first question.

Compared to the Pen Fairy, the Taoist Fairy is too gentle. Helping humans, becoming saints, and ascending to heaven is something that is engraved in the bones of the Xia people. How many people can withstand such temptation?

Traditionally, ghosts and immortals are in opposition. Could it be that there really are immortals in this world who have come to save us?

"laugh."

The one who sneered was Liu Mei. She glanced at him with disdain and asked, "

"I've been on missions for so many years and rescued so many hostages. The most common thing the hostages asked was to please God save them, but in the end it was me who saved them!"

"It's better to ask my mother for help than to ask God for help!"

“…”

"Besides , his training is too difficult. He has to scald himself in hot water and then get pricked with needles..."

“Is it really acceptable to everyone?”

Another task force leader spoke up. He watched the video with a look of vigilance and questioning instead of yearning.

After the incident with the Pen Fairy, everyone's naive thoughts have decreased a lot, and they start to think of the worst side of things.

In this way, the Taoist immortals do not give any way out. As long as you have tried, you must keep going. Is this kind of domineering behavior really for the good of mankind?

"I don't think I can fight against the Pen Fairy even if I cultivate immortality."

Kong Zheng was presiding over the meeting. Although he didn't say a word, he was examining the matter in his head.

When everyone first learned about Taoist immortals, they did have some fantasies and expectations, but after careful consideration, they still questioned the various loopholes in Taoist immortals.

Compared to the directness of the Pen Fairy, they are more sensitive to the gift-giving behavior of the Taoist Fairy. Compared to direct evil, they have achieved an advanced unity in the face of hypocritical goodness.

Maybe... it is also related to Chen Xuan’s previous policy.

If we cannot ensure that both parties are on equal terms, the only relationship we can have is one of hostility.

"Hey, Chen Xuan, why are you pretending to be dumb at this time?"

"Tell me what you think. Do you think this immortal can be of any benefit to us?"

Liu Mei asked impatiently. The hypocritical Taoist in front of her made her even more irritated. She has always relied on herself.

"Don't worry, I'm still watching."

Chen Xuan comforted him, saying that the power of the Taoist immortal was a trap, and this was an idea that had never changed.

"The most important thing for us now is not to convince ourselves, but to convince the people."

This was a statement that left the entire audience speechless. Everyone stared at Chen Xuan, thinking, we are still trying to convince ourselves that Taoist immortals are bad, but you are already thinking about how to convince the entire nation?

This makes us look low in front of Mayor Kong!

The meeting scene was more relaxed than it had been in a long time. The shadow of death and the tit-for-tat between different ideas in the past disappeared after the united front was formed.

After a brief pause, Chen Xuan leaned forward and said in a puzzled tone:

"Why do you think that cultivation requires soaking in hot water and hanging your head from a beam and piercing your bones with needles?"

"Why... to torture the practitioners."

Lin Feng answered as a matter of course. He naturally played the role of a confrontational answer and naturally started to argue. This time, it was to promote the result.

"Since he has the ability to heal practitioners, wouldn't it be even more tormenting for practitioners to walk through mountains of swords and seas of fire?"

"Is it stipulated in the Daoist Scriptures? Every cultivation method is different."

"No, this is not the right place."

"I think the Daoxian Sutra is just a disguise."

A clear look appeared between Chen Xuan's brows, but what followed was deep fear and dread.

Everyone looked at Chen Xuan. They knew that Chen Xuan had already thought of the answer.

Chen Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed at the screen. At this moment, the video was playing the scene of being scalded by hot water.

"Blanching it in hot water is like rinsing it to remove the fishy smell."

"Acupuncture and fumigation is to refine the meat and adjust its aroma."

"After practicing for a long time, one's skin becomes white and tender, and the flesh becomes firm. There is another situation with this behavior."

"That is, cooking a pig that is tasty enough."

A needle drops with a sound.

"So what you mean is... these people were cultivated to the end just to become food for the Taoist immortals."

"That's very possible."

Chen Xuan nodded, his hands crossed, his expression solemn:

"Even from his perspective, he thinks this is a gift to us, allowing us to become the most delicious food...it's just that we can't bear it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt as if millions of ants were crawling on their bodies, and a chill ran up their spines, as if they had become pigs struggling in boiling water, while earnestly thanking the master who had done all this.

This one sentence alone shattered all illusions about Taoist immortals and was enough to convince the people to resist them.

This idea is not difficult, but it must be deduced from the perspective that "there must be something wrong with the Taoist immortals."

As soon as the concept of "food" came out, everyone discussed it for a while and reached a consensus that once the Taoist immortal broke out, all the people must be persuaded to refuse to practice Taoism.

We must have zero tolerance and zero let-offs, otherwise, like the Ouija board, one will be split into two, two into four, and eventually there will be the risk of destroying the city.

"But now... we don't even know if the Taoist immortals are circulating in our Xia country."

New difficulties were raised.

When it comes to practical implementation, everyone still finds it extremely difficult. After all, Tang City alone has a population of tens of millions, and there are a total of 28 cities in the south. How can we completely avoid this?

Perhaps, at this moment, the Taoist immortal practice has already broken out in a small town, and they are still unaware of it.

"What about announcing the Taoist Immortal first? ...That won't work either. What if it backfires and everyone knows the Taoist Immortal's benefits? It will be even harder to control."

This plan was rejected by the proposer himself as soon as it was proposed. Once the Taoist immortal is announced, no matter what the position is, it will accelerate the direct confrontation with the Taoist immortal, which is not suitable for the current situation.

It is also necessary to seize this period of lurking opportunity to prepare for the moment when the Taoist immortal explodes in the future.

Moreover, Taoist immortals are good at using people's hearts. Different people have different opinions. Everyone has different Taoist immortals in their hearts, and they are completely out of control!

After thinking for a long time, one person finally couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Perhaps this is an incident that is more difficult to resolve than the Pen Fairy."

Even the Pen Fairy caused ten people to die in three days, so how can millions of people be fed if the Taoist Fairy comes?

But Chen Xuan doesn't think so.

"In fact... in my opinion, this is something that is easier to solve than the Pen Fairy."

"We have no control over the Pen Fairy case because everything from the spread of the Pen Fairy to the murder is fixed and we cannot interfere."

"But in the case of Daoxian, as long as people don't practice, they won't become 'food'."

"In my opinion, as long as everyone in Xia Nation is mentally prepared, responsibilities are assigned to individuals, and we take precautions against the arrival of the Dao Immortal, then it will be possible..."

"There won't be a single case involving a Taoist immortal."

There were gasps in the conference room. They looked at Chen Xuan in front of them, and always felt that there was an unfathomable fog around him. Sometimes he was like a devil, using human lives as bargaining chips, and sometimes he was like the Virgin Mary, doing some completely impossible things.

"But how is this possible?"

"Xia Country has a population of over one billion, how could it be possible..."

"Ahem."

Kong Zheng coughed, and everyone raised their heads and looked at the city mayor.

"How is it impossible?"

Kong Zheng took a sip of water. There was no trace of anxiety or confusion on his face. He looked calm and composed, even if the sky was falling. He slowly put down the cup and said,

"It seems to me that this is an issue where there is room for maneuver."

"I have no control over the Shang Party's jurisdiction, but the South is under the jurisdiction of our Xia Party. We have the ability and must do so!"

“Since there are risks in publishing, let’s start with the hidden risks.”

"Immediately arrange for the research team to produce ten sets of questionnaires. Referencing the opinions of the task force, incorporate the existence of Daoist immortals into the questionnaires. Distribute them from the city to the municipality, then from the municipality to the district, and finally to the person in charge of each street, who will be responsible for surveying every homeowner."

"Companies, schools , factories, construction sites...anywhere where people work, we must include the questionnaire."

"Special matters must be handled specially. Within two days, the results of the questionnaire survey must be obtained. Based on the questionnaire survey, those most likely to have strayed into the "Taoist Immortal" path will be screened out and educated through the "Five Interviews and Three Questions" process. This education must be done well, starting from the "pie in the sky" approach, to correct their thinking."

"Replace all the slogans in all squares and shopping malls, using both soft and hard tactics to make it clear to everyone that relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself."

"Of course, we also need to do a good job of internal awareness education . We absolutely cannot let ourselves get into trouble."

"at last ……"

A fierce look flashed in Kong Zheng's eyes, and he said cruelly:

"We humans must not be reduced to food."

"Even if our compatriots die in our hands, we cannot surrender even a single body."

"All actions until the day of the outbreak."

"We humans must overcome this."

Kong Zheng stood up and roared suddenly.

"Did everyone hear that?"

The generals and soldiers said so.

"yes!"

"Then I declare that the second "ghost" incident, "Daoxian", has been officially filed. On the same day—
