The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 871: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (12)

Reality, the gravity called [reality] bound Mari Amahara's body, causing him to fall like a meteorite, falling from the clouds, and finally falling into the mortal world, trapped in the mortal body, unable to extricate himself.

"No, it shouldn't be like this. I'm a god! I'm a god!" Amahara Mari's expression became visibly panicked. Suddenly breaking away from the role of a god, his mind was gradually occupied by panic. He instinctively did not want to accept this sudden change.

From the moment the Taoist priest sitting on the sedan chair focused his eyes on him, Amahara Mari's world changed drastically. It should be said that he woke up from his dream.

He is no longer an omnipotent god. He can feel his heart beating violently, and blood continuously flowing into his brain and around his eyes through his blood vessels. The feeling is so real that it is enough to make Mari Amahara know that he is "alive". But this real feeling is not what Mari Amahara wants. That is the feeling of a mortal, and a god does not need that kind of thing!
If looks could kill, then that Taoist priest would have been tortured to death by Mari Amahara long ago. However, this did not happen because Mari Amahara was facing reality.

"Calm down! Calm down! Amahara Mari! You've performed so many times in front of those stupid believers, you will definitely be able to make it this time!"

Amahara Mari forced his brain to work at high speed. He seemed to have returned to his youth, when he had encountered this situation before...

At that time... At that time, because of illegal fund-raising, he was surrounded by those who once believed in him. If he said one wrong word, he would be doomed. At that time, he was just like now, constantly working his brain, analyzing all possible situations, trying to find a way out from countless dead ends.

Fortunately, he did it at that time and successfully obtained the first start-up capital, otherwise he would not be standing here now and becoming a saint in the hearts of countless believers!

The one standing in front of Qian Xiaoyi now is no longer a god, but the [mortal] Amahara Mari!
"My power has been erased?" This was the first information that came to Mari Amahara's mind, and it was also the information he had to confirm first, but it should be noted that this was a question.

"No, it's impossible." Amahara Mari's mind was working at full capacity, denying this question: "According to that gentleman, I now possess the cognitive power gathered by tens of thousands of believers, not only those present at the parade, but also those watching the parade on TV. As long as they still believe in me and keep watching me, this power will not disappear out of thin air, so..."

Thinking of the key, he regained his spirits, staring at the Taoist priest who was blocking the road not far away, and came to a conclusion in his heart: "Although I don't know how he did it, the most likely scenario is! It's not my power that disappeared, but my personal understanding of this power! He just targeted me and made me unable to sense those things on the spiritual side!"

After confirming this key information, Amahara Mari resumed his previous attitude, picked up the microphone decisively without any hesitation, and said with a smile: "It seems... we have encountered some insignificant difficulties and obstacles on the road to pursuing happiness and hope~ But this is also natural. If the road to pursuing happiness is really so easy, then everyone will not need me as a guide. Everyone, do you think I am right?"

Mari Amahara's words calmed down the fanatical believers who were so excited that they wanted to dismantle the sedan chair, and almost everyone was cheering for Mari Amahara.

"I understand! Lord Amahara! You are right! The road to happiness is bound to be full of ups and downs!"

"But you will lead us and break through these obstacles!"

"Master Patriarch, I knew this was within your expectations!"

"Don't worry, the Patriarch is the reincarnation of a saint, he knows everything."

"This little trouble will be handled by the Patriarch."

The eager gazes like surging waves were focused on Amahara Mari, which made his confidence swell again. Although he still could not sense any breath from the other world because of the sight of the Taoist priest in yellow, he was sure of one thing - his power did not disappear, it was just that his personal cognition became normal, so his guess was right - the other party could not erase the cognition of such a huge group!

"Hehehe... That's it, he got it." Taoist Jingde laughed while watching TV: "Zaochuan is still somewhat useful, otherwise I wouldn't have valued him... Master Qian, if this level can't be passed, your disciple will be in trouble~" Taoist Lingkong just stroked his beard calmly and said leisurely: "I once taught him a truth, that is, no matter what you do, you must be prepared for failure. This sentence means not only to prepare a way out, but also to have the awareness of bearing the consequences of failure. Since Xiaoyi has done this, it means that he has long been prepared to die for his beliefs... Just like when we were traveling around the world, do you still remember those experiences? Senior Brother Jingde?"

Hearing this, Taoist Jingde's face turned ugly. He was speechless for a long time. Finally, he could only utter a few words from between his teeth: "It's because I've been through too much that I... Humph! You two, master and disciple, are so alike, so damn alike!"

Taoist Jingde said this with gnashing teeth.

He no longer looked at Taoist Lingkong. The other party knew his pain points too well. Chatting with him would only make him unhappy. He now hoped that this matter would end as soon as possible.

"Early boat! Immediately let your followers kill Qian Xiaoyi! Incite them!" Taoist Jingde cursed the enemy in front of the TV: "Don't give them any chance to use their tricks! Just use the last resort! Even if you go to jail, others are capable of making you live comfortably!"

Although Taoist Jingde ignored him, Taoist Lingkong still interrupted and said, "No, he has not been forced into a desperate situation yet. He will definitely not resort to the means of mutual destruction. After all, who wants to go to jail when there is a choice? People all have a lucky mentality."

Taoist Jingde ignored him and just stared at the TV.

On TV, Amahara Mari smiled and looked at the opposite side. His eyes were compassionate as if he was looking at a group of lost lambs. He spoke slowly into the microphone: "Children, I can see that you are just like everyone else. You are in despair and confusion brought by life. That's why you don't trust anyone. Even when facing the hands that want to help you, you are like a wounded beast...

I understand, I understand, I have seen many people like you, you have suffered too much trauma, this world is too unfair to you... But, you still have a chance, my name is Amahara Mari, I want to invite you to join my team, become part of the journey, and pursue the other side of hope and happiness with us, everyone will definitely be happy, I swear on my name. "

"Are you kidding me?" Xing Changrang sneered beside the shrine: "These are all victims of the persecution of the Hope Cult! How could anyone believe such nonsense? Even if it is to persuade them to surrender, these words are too lame, aren't they?"

Just as Hoshiba Ryou said, not only did Mari Amahara's words fail to impress anyone in the shrine procession, but instead had the opposite effect, causing the victims to look at Mari Amahara with even more hostility, with curses ringing out. If there hadn't been so many people on the opposite side, someone might have rushed up and torn that guy's mouth apart.

However, Ashiya Yoshisuke saw through the other party's intention. He said solemnly: "So, what he said was not meant for us at all."

"Your Excellency the Patriarch... You are such a merciful saint! Even to our enemies..."

"Not enemies, just lost brothers and sisters. Alas... this hopeless world."

“Wow… I didn’t believe in the Patriarch at the beginning either. Seeing these people on the other side is like seeing the stupid me back then.”

"Hey! Those on the other side, join us! You've been deceived by the bad guys. The Patriarch is not that kind of person!"

Xingchang immediately understood Amahara Mari's intention and snorted coldly: "Using sweet words to bind himself and the believers? Once we start to criticize Amahara Mari, the first thing we will have to bear is the anger of those believers. He really knows how to play this trick~"

Tianyuan Mari looked at Qian Xiaoyi smugly: "So, how are you going to deal with it? An unknown Taoist priest."
