Chapter 40 Substantive Evidence

As soon as the Xia Party video was released, it overtook the birth of the "Taoist Immortal" and became a hot search.
The most searched comment was "cowardly" and "party-like behavior".
"What's the point of announcing a policy like this? It's clearly saying we're waiting to die. Is this the way to protect people? Is this the solution to the problem?"
"Why are you boycotting Daoxian? It's pure speculation. Only when you show us concrete evidence can we believe it!"
Most of these are speeches from northern cities, especially Shangcheng, where there is a mixture of real and fake.
But there are also many southern comments criticizing current events—
"I've completed so many questionnaires in these seven days, but I never thought something like this would actually happen?"
"Yeah, yeah, so everyone has completed so many questionnaires? Why didn't I see them online before?"
"It's not just a questionnaire. If there's any problem filling it out, the street and district leaders will come to investigate. So this is all paving the way for today?!"
"Before, they probably blocked these keywords online for fear of causing panic. Now that everyone knows about it, the responsibility for life has been handed back from the police to us."
"In fact, this also shows that the country can no longer withstand this disaster on its own. We all need to work hard."
"clear."
"But the Taoist immortal isn't necessarily a bad person, right? After all, there's no concrete evidence to prove he's treating humans as food. These are just speculations..."
"Get lost! This is Xia Country. Taoist immortals aren't necessarily bad... In short, Xia Country is definitely good, and the Xia Party is definitely good!"
"That's right, Xinxia Party, that's for sure!"
There are only two extreme forces on the Internet. One is supporting Taoism, mainly in the north, and the other is opposing Taoism, mainly in the south.
"Friends, we don't know what Daoxian is like, but don't we know what the Xia Party is like? Don't we know what kind of country we are? What we need to do now is to trust them unconditionally and not put pressure on them!"
"My brothers are right. I have already burned all the books in my house to avoid any risk!"
"That's not necessary..."
In addition to the online confrontation, offline confrontation is also going on.
On the streets and alleys, all people talk about is Taoism and immortals, and the attitude is full of resistance.
Tourists shouted slogans such as "Resist Taoist Immortals" and "Resist Temptation". The red flags on the streets were extremely eye-catching, reminding each other not to fall into the trap.
The man lying on the hospital bed was looking at the Taoist scriptures on his mobile phone. He happened to have finished watching the video. In the struggle between his conscience and his desire, he finally did not open it. He knew that his death was not the end. He still had a daughter and a son. Although he was dead, his traces were still there, and his significance still existed.
The patient with cancer did not practice the Taoist scriptures in the end. He put on a wig again, and he could still be beautiful even if it did not grow out. He told his parents that he wanted to go out and see everyone and resist the Taoist appearance.
People will die, but as long as mankind works hard, it will live forever.
The south resisted the Taoists with great momentum, while in the north, even though it was not under the management of the Xia Party, many people were waving their flags.
"Don't practice Taoism, this is a trap, don't practice Taoism!"
Sun Che's mother is still holding on, her face divided by gray hair and vicissitudes of life. She has been working hard alone for a long time, but has not given up. She is still holding on with the idea of saving as many people as possible.
But today, she is not alone.
"Don't practice Taoism, this is a trap!"
From all directions, different voices rang out the same slogan. They were either parents, or children, but mostly middle-aged people. They held handwritten cards, held loudspeakers used to sell vegetables, and rode electric donkeys, spreading the slogan over and over again:
"Don't practice Taoism, this is a trap set by Taoism!"
Sun Che's mother was stunned until someone told her that the Xia Party had determined that Taoist immortals were ghosts and could not practice Taoism, and that now only the north was still in ignorance , then Sun Che's mother realized that her eyes were blurred by tears.
She wiped her tears, raised the tattered playing card in her hand, and shouted solemnly:
"My name is Li Guifang. My son Sun Che is dead. He died at the hands of the Taoist Immortal!"
"My son's death cannot be in vain! Others' deaths cannot be in vain either."
"Resist Daoxian. This is a trap. I've experienced it myself!"
"Boycott the Taoist Immortal!"
The consciousness in the north is also awakening, and the ignorant people are reviving. They can become Taoist believers or become people of Xia, but if they have to choose, they will unconditionally choose to become people of Xia.
This is a counterattack of mankind, but the battle has just begun.
Ten hours after Xia Guo’s video was played.
Zhang Huaiyi stood at the door of Qiao Yuan's house. His face was covered with beard. He raised his head, and there was no life in his tired eyes. His hands were clenched tightly, and he looked at the sky, breathing in and out.
He finished watching the video.
Kong Zheng was right. The previous "non-resistance policy" was related to him, and he must bear a huge responsibility. The lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people were caused by him.
He also knew that relying on enthusiasm to resist the Taoist Immortal was only temporary. Only by exposing the truth about the Taoist Immortal could he completely and surely launch a counterattack. Otherwise, many poor people would still fall into the trap.
All his previous actions were aimed at finding substantial evidence.
And now... he finally found it.
Standing in this familiar corridor, Zhang Huaiyi held a hammer in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. His body swayed, but he stood firmly.
He said to the phone:
"I'm Zhang Huaiyi, secretary to the Shangdang City Mayor. Based on the situation, I've proactively contacted the Xia Party and requested a nationwide live broadcast. Since there are Taoist believers in many places in Shangdang, I need your party's remote technical support."
" Received. Debugging has been completed to ensure the live broadcast signal is stable."
"Live Countdown——
3, 2, 1. ”
"The live broadcast begins."
Mobile phones of people across the country were trembling, the software was pushed urgently, and Zhang Huaiyi was broadcasting live.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Huaiyi, secretary to the mayor of Shangdang City."
"A week ago, I conducted an experiment on Taoist cultivation with my close friend Qiao Yuan. I thought that people who were close enough would notice the changes in the problem, but I underestimated it."
"The Taoist immortal can learn and evolve. He is perfecting his own logic of action, and the loopholes he leaves for us are becoming fewer and fewer over time."
"But this experiment was not without results."
"We have finally found substantial evidence."
"Next, I will personally reveal the truth about the Taoist Immortal..."
