I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 401 Calling in Heavenly Soldiers and Generals? Isn't that just summoning gods?

Chen Han was still in a daze when the game system notifications appeared one after another.

Congratulations, your good deeds and blessings have increased by 1!

...

Congratulations, your good deeds and blessings have increased by 1!

...

[Congratulations! Your purple robes and decrees have been activated, and the Celestial Venerable has bestowed upon you new attributes and legal authority!]

...

Congratulations, your good deeds and blessings have increased by 1!

He truly didn't expect that the game system would suddenly display a notification to increase his Yin Virtue and Blessing. Looking at the game panel in his mind, he saw that there was also a new Yin Virtue and Blessing attribute, which had increased by several hundred points in a short period of time.

This idea was proposed by the Taoist priests, and there is indeed such a saying within the Taoist community.

However, in the world of Shushan Swordsmen, they do not talk about yin virtue and blessings, but rather about merit, though there are not many specific explanations for this.

In reality, Taoist schools emphasize the concept of accumulating good deeds and blessings, and these are believed to have a significant impact.

For example: to help one's spiritual practice without obstacles, to protect oneself from harm and ensure health, to bring blessings to one's descendants and prolong the family's fortune, and to receive blessings and assistance to increase success.

To put it simply, the ability to overcome obstacles in spiritual practice means that good deeds can often break through bottlenecks in one's spiritual journey. A lack of good deeds will lead to obstacles that hinder one's progress, while those with abundant good deeds will find it difficult to overcome obstacles and will experience fewer tribulations.

Blessing and assistance bring good fortune, meaning that you will have good luck in everything you do, whether it's searching for spiritual herbs or exploring secret realms... You can achieve greater success through good deeds.

He had never received anything like this before, and he thought there was no such feature.

After all, the upgrade of the sect's headquarters had consumed a lot of funds, which the game system used for charity, and no good deeds or blessings were gained.

Furthermore, he had previously done many things as an old Taoist priest, such as exorcising demons, but he did not receive any good karma or blessings.

This is clearly because of the Blood Demon Bone Grass live-stream experiment, which is why the notification of accumulating merit and blessings has appeared.

After thinking about it carefully, he roughly guessed some of the reasons.

Firstly, the cost was for upgrading the sect's headquarters, so this is the price of the upgrade and nothing else is taken into account.

Secondly, the previous demon-slaying was also a game system dungeon, and what we did was an extension of the rewards obtained from the game system, and we did not get anything extra.

This time, he did indeed donate the Blood Demon Bone Grass and other such items for free, which indeed turned some ailments into non-problems and benefited countless patients.

Of course, it's also possible that the live stream made many people aware of this.

After all, in the world of Shushan Swordsman, when the Emei Sect members do good deeds, they either announce their own name before taking action or after finishing.

That was to let people know that it was their Emei Sect that did this, and the purpose was probably to spread the word.

This way, everyone will know that the Emei Sect is a righteous sect that has done many things to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path.

As more people know about it and the standard is met, merit will naturally follow.

This seems to have a similar effect.

In other words, doing good deeds shouldn't be done quietly; it should be announced so that many people know about it.

Of course, there must be genuine gratitude involved.

Just like this time, with the emergence of the Blood Demon Bone Grass, many people will definitely benefit from it, even if they haven't been able to use it yet.

However, once the Blood Demon Bone Grass is widely available, everyone will be able to use it.

Moreover, sincerity is certainly very important; after the previous demon-slaying mission ended, he also exposed those evil people.

This can be considered a good deed, but there was no indication of any unseen merit or reward.

Although it generated a lot of buzz and indirectly helped many people, most of them were just watching the spectacle and would only curse those who were exposed.

However, those who are just there for the spectacle are unlikely to genuinely express their gratitude to the hacker judge who was exposed behind the scenes.

Even if there are any, they are few and far between, and the number is probably below the standard.

Therefore, the blessings and rewards bestowed by one's good deeds may also be related to the number of people involved.

Regardless of the situation, he now knows about this method.

Since there are so many benefits to good deeds, it seems I should learn from the Emei Sect, be more high-profile, and do more good deeds.

At least in the world of Shushan Swordsmen, subsequent breakthroughs, after reaching the Golden Core stage at the Condensation Realm, require undergoing a tribulation.

Moreover, the tribulation in the novel "Swordsman of Shu Mountain" is not necessarily a tribulation of lightning.

Therefore, even if this modern equipment can protect against lightning, it may not necessarily be effective.

There's no harm in accumulating more good deeds and blessings.

Compared to the Emei Sect, he has many advantages in doing this. The Emei Sect has to send disciples everywhere to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, shouting everywhere. But with the development of modern technology, he has the Spirit Mirror.

The Spirit Mirror can record and transmit data with ease, which is more useful than the Emei Sect running themselves ragged.

If the Emei Sect knew about this, they would all say: "It's all tears when you talk about it."

Chen Han glanced at the game screen in his mind again; the data for Yin De Fu Bao had increased again, quickly surpassing 1000.

The live-streamed treatment experiment with the Blood Demon Bone-Drying Grass by the Guardian Medical Company is not over yet, and he should continue to receive blessings and good fortune.

So, he turned his attention to the other game hint that had appeared earlier.

That is, the purple robe and talisman that had been placed on the altar of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable finally had their attributes activated by the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

He had been waiting for these two things to have their attributes activated for a very long time.

Unexpectedly, a game notification suddenly appeared at this moment.

Without hesitation, he hurriedly walked towards the main hall of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.

These past two days, the Chen family's sun, moon, and stars have attracted a large number of tourists.

Many tourists who come to the Chen family usually go to the Hall of the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable to offer incense and kowtow.

Therefore, there are still a lot of people in the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable's Hall today.

His arrival also attracted the attention of many tourists, many of whom took photos of him with their mobile phones.

However, the tourists inside the main hall were all very well-behaved and did not do so, because using a mobile phone in front of the statue is considered very disrespectful to the gods, and most people were still quite wary of it.

After all, the Chen family has too many mysterious aspects, and there are quite a few rumors about the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

In particular, with the increasing number of wonders in Chenshi, tourists are becoming more and more convinced of these things.

"Patriarch." A young clansman greeted him respectfully.

Because the Qingfeng Taoist Temple in Linhe County needed three people to be on duty in the main hall, three people were transferred from the Dangmo Tianzun Hall.

Therefore, three more people were recruited for the main hall, because the hall attendants need to learn a lot and also have a good understanding of the Taoist scriptures.

Even though many clansmen applied for the positions, in the end, three young clansmen with higher education and a quicker understanding of business management were selected.

Most importantly, the leadership of a family cannot be left without successors; it is also necessary to cultivate young people.

"Hmm." Chen Han nodded to the other party, then walked to the altar and picked up the purple Taoist robe and the decree on it.

You can see that there are also some calming talismans and incantation talismans on it.

These are the only two things that the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Palace can currently provide, and this area can be self-sufficient.

After taking the purple robe and the decree to his residence, Chen Han stored them in his game inventory and began to examine them.

[Special Purple Robe: A symbol of high-ranking Taoist priests. Presented by the Celestial Venerable, it has been offered incense and prayers at an altar and blessed by the Celestial Venerable. The purple robe possesses special attributes: Solemnity +2 and Majesty +2. Furthermore, having been blessed, wearing the purple robe grants the wearer the authority and decrees bestowed by the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.]

[Special Decree: A symbol of a high-ranking mage, bestowed by the Heavenly Venerable through incense offerings and consecration, thus activating special decree authority: first-level troop deployment.]

Level One Troop Deployment: When a sorcerer performs a ritual, they can use decrees to mobilize the celestial soldiers under the command of the Demon-Dispelling Celestial Lord to exorcise evil spirits and vanquish demons!

He already knew about the +2 to solemnity and +2 to majesty of the purple robe, but this newly activated attribute, which allowed him to use the decrees and authority bestowed by the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable while wearing the purple robe, was very important.

This is an affirmation of status and authority.

Even if you know what functions a decree has, not just anyone can activate it.

This is a form of recognition.

Upon seeing the notes in the law, Chen Han smiled.

No wonder it took so long for the decree to take effect.

This is the real law.

Imagine, when casting a spell, you simply pull out the decree and immediately mobilize troops, and then a group of heavenly soldiers under the command of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable appear to help subdue the demon. How amazing would that be?

It's a pity that this decree is only at the first level; otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible to mobilize celestial generals, the Six Ding and Six Jia, or even those named deities.

I just don't know how this law will be upgraded; the notes don't mention it at all.

However, now is not the time to be overly ambitious. After all, being a Heavenly Soldier is not bad either. Only the best can become a Heavenly Soldier. Otherwise, even a Tom, Dick, or Harry could become a Heavenly Soldier.
Perhaps even a celestial soldier would be stronger than him.

Without hesitation, Chen Han put on the purple-robed Taoist priest's robe and activated the decree.

In an instant, he noticed the decree began to vibrate, and lights appeared on it. Then, to Chen Han's astonishment, a game notification appeared:
[The decree has been activated, but the current troop deployment effect is hindered, and it cannot respond to the heavenly soldiers under the command of the Demon-Slaying Celestial Lord...]

[A bug has been found in the game's decree data; the bug is currently being fixed... A special effect has been added to the decree: it can imprison and transform creatures imbued with energy into decree puppet celestial soldiers, and summon these celestial soldiers when the decree is cast.]

Chen Han was dumbfounded when he saw the game prompt.

What the hell...

So you're giving him a censored version again?

So, are there really no heavenly soldiers and generals he can summon in reality?
Chen Han retrieved the decree from his game inventory and, sure enough, saw the change in its attributes:
[Special Decree: A symbol of a high-ranking mage, bestowed by the Heavenly Venerable through incense offerings and consecration, thus activating special decree authority: first-level troop deployment.]

Level 1 Deployment: When a sorcerer performs a ritual, they can use decrees to mobilize the heavenly soldiers under the command of the Demon Lord to exorcise evil spirits and vanquish demons for them!
**Impartial Consecration:** This skill costs 10 Reputation and 1 Willpower to impart an energetic creature into a Celestial Soldier, summoning the celestial soldier upon activation. (Note: The impartialized creature will gain positive divine attributes and a certain degree of power boost.)
Current number of points that can be converted: 0/20.

Chen Han really wanted to complain, but for a moment he didn't know how.

I want to complain about how the game system is always full of bugs, but somehow it still runs perfectly.

I've never heard any programmer say, "When a program runs normally, you don't need to worry about it, no matter how strange or incomprehensible it is, otherwise you'll only suffer the consequences."

Chen Han could only sigh silently.

This, however, troubled him.

The decree, in its simplest sense, commands that any living being with energy can be restrained and transformed into a puppet celestial soldier. The word "puppet" is clearly not a positive one; it might even erase their will.

So, he initially thought of the lantern ghost, and because of this, he abandoned the idea.

No matter what you do to the lantern ghost, it still possesses intelligence and emotions.

That troubled him.

We can't just let this law, which we've been waiting for so long, be abolished, can we?

Chen Han felt he should broaden his thinking or abstract his ideas.

While the game system has many flaws, the game hints and tasks provided always have solutions, though sometimes those solutions are incredibly abstract.

I sat down and pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and he hurriedly left the courtyard, headed to the General Affairs Hall, and entered the family's cave dwelling.

Once inside, Chen Han took out a Cloud Barrier Pill from the game's inventory. After using it, the mist instantly enveloped the entire cave.

The old green-robed ancestor in the cage was frightened by the situation and paced back and forth restlessly.

Especially when that demonic shadow appeared, it cried out in panic, a fear of the unknown, an animal's instinct.

Chen Han took out the decree, approached a demonic figure, and used the "Imprisonment and Enlightenment" function. Then, a game prompt appeared:
The current target energy is too weak and does not meet the requirements for initiation!

Chen Han smiled upon hearing this prompt.

That's exactly what he wanted to achieve—to see if this method would work.

While it's true that this demonic shadow is ineffective, it doesn't mean that anything with stronger energy is ineffective.

This Cloud Barrier Pill was refined before; now there are even stronger ones that can be refined.

Chen Han also looked at the notes on the Cloud Barrier Cauldron, and then took out the Cloud Barrier Cauldron.

This complete Cloud Barrier Cauldron can be used to refine Cloud Barrier Pills for 20 reputation points.

There are even stronger demonic shadows, which can probably be enlightened.

If that doesn't work, he can upgrade the Cloud Barrier Cauldron. After that, he can refine Cloud Barrier Pills of higher quality, so it should work eventually.

You can't summon heavenly soldiers and generals in real life; this is the method provided by the game system.

As for why Shadow Demon can do it?
This isn't a product of the demonic path?
First, we need to understand the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable. The Celestial Venerable doesn't have such a rigid concept of black and white. Many of his heavenly soldiers and generals, and even his attendants, were born from demons.

Chen Han took out the Cloud Barrier Cauldron and began refining the Cloud Barrier Pill.

Before long, a batch of Cloud Barrier Pills appeared in his hands.

Without hesitation, he placed another Cloud Barrier Pill into the Cloud Barrier Cauldron and began refining it, spending 20 reputation points.

After the Cloud Barrier Pill was completed and placed in the game inventory, he also saw the following notes:

[Cloud Barrier Pill: This is a Cloud Barrier Pill refined using the Cloud Barrier Cauldron. After use, it can instantly cover an area of ​​several kilometers. Furthermore, through refinement, it can condense a relatively strong demonic shadow to disrupt and block enemies. Moreover, the demonic shadow has initially developed a body of condensed energy, and weaker enemies may even die at the hands of the demonic shadow.]

Upon seeing this note, Chen Han gained a slight understanding of the power of the Cloud Barrier Cauldron. No wonder it became a treasure that many disciples of the Yinshan Sect sought to refine.

This is a great help to disciples who are weak.

Without hesitation, Chen Han took out the Cloud Barrier Pill and used it. In an instant, the mist covered the surroundings again, and at the same time, demonic figures appeared in the mist.

This time is different from before, because the shadowy figures in the mist are more tangible.

It should be as the notes say, that it has already begun to possess a body that condenses energy, unlike before when it was just a pure phantom.

However, such a body cannot be maintained for long before it dissipates along with the mist of the Cloud Barrier Pill. It is their good fortune to be able to use laws to restrain and enlighten them, turning them into puppet heavenly soldiers, especially since they have no intelligence at all.

Without Chen Han's order, these demonic figures remained stationary.

Chen Han ordered a demonic shadow to attack him, wanting to test the shadow's power.

A demonic figure immediately attacked him, and within moments he learned the details of the demonic figure.

The Cloud Barrier Pill, refined by the Cloud Barrier Cauldron, and then further refined with 20 reputation points, carries a demonic shadow whose power is comparable to that of a cultivator who has opened up three extraordinary meridians.

Even my uncle and junior sister, if they encountered this demonic shadow, might not be able to win even in a one-on-one fight.

In the world of Shushan Swordsman, a disciple of the Yinshan Sect could wipe out the entire sect with a single Cloud Barrier Pill by throwing out the Demon Shadow.

They are no different from ants.

Chen Han thought for a moment, then took out the decree again and activated it, receiving a game notification:
[The current objective has been preliminarily achieved, requiring the confinement and transformation into puppet celestial soldiers. Shall we proceed with the transformation?]

Select "Yes" directly.

The next moment, a golden light shot out from the decree in his hand, carrying special runes, and entered the figure. The demonic figure also changed instantly, the golden light spreading across its entire body.

Before long, the demonic figure before them completely changed its appearance.

He was now wearing a suit of golden armor, decorated with auspicious clouds, dragon patterns, flames, and other symbols of holiness and power, making him look magnificent and solemn.

They wore phoenix-winged helmets or other styles of helmets, some of which were also equipped with capes that fluttered in the wind, adding to their imposing presence.

He still held a spear in his hand, which emitted a faint, cold light. How could he be any different from the demonic figure from before?

Chen Han's eyes lit up when he saw the demonic shadow change in the blink of an eye. This look is good; it's kind of like a celestial soldier.

Although the game system had another bug, at least they gave him a fake Heavenly Soldier, which looked somewhat impressive.

With a thought, he ordered the puppet celestial soldier to attack him, and immediately the celestial soldier swung his spear and attacked him.

Its speed was much faster than the demonic shadow from before.

The spears that cut through the air produced a whistling sound.

After a short time, he also understood the power of this puppet celestial soldier, which was probably the strength of opening up 6 of the 8 extraordinary meridians.

This is far stronger than the demonic shadow from before. The key is that, after becoming a puppet celestial soldier, it will not dissipate like the demonic shadow when the Cloud Barrier Pill disappears. As long as Chen Han still has the decree in his hand, it can exist indefinitely.

If such heavenly soldiers were sent out, and given that the Chen family couldn't use heavy weapons, they would absolutely slaughter everyone indiscriminately.

The key is that he can enlighten 20 of these heavenly soldiers, making them an extremely powerful group of fighters.

Therefore, without hesitation, he directly transformed the demonic shadows one by one into puppet heavenly soldiers.

Before long, he saw 20 puppet heavenly soldiers dressed in golden armor and holding spears standing in front of him.

However, these 20 puppet heavenly soldiers also cost 200 million reputation points and 20 wish points.

Suddenly, the data dropped significantly again.

1、钱财：0.38亿。2、声望：1543.35万。3、愿力：8.35万。4、阴德福报：1459。

The power of the vow is less than 10.

My reputation is also dwindling. Although I still have over 1500 million, it seems to be going by pretty fast as I use it.

Fortunately, this reputation can be obtained through multimedia channels.

You can increase your followers simply by posting videos frequently.

Now that he has over 2000 million followers, the growth rate has slowed down, and he's considering posting on other platforms.

Putting aside other things, take Kuaishou for example. The audience there is completely different from that of Douyin. In fact, many Kuaishou users don't use Douyin, and Douyin users don't use Kuaishou.

This is a new channel.

On the contrary, tourists provided less reputation at the Chen family's site.

At first, with such low upgrade requirements, he could increase his reputation by shocking tourists with his apple transformation. Now, there are only about 5000 tourists a day. Even if Chen's creations are more mysterious and surprising, if 5000 people are affected and his reputation increases, he can only gain 5000 reputation points a day.

However, it's impossible for all visitors to provide reputation on-site.

It's better to just post a random video online.

Therefore, we need to open up new channels.

The key is to shoot a video.

I happen to have some material.

Dou Yin didn't confidently say that the Chen family would seal the demon again?
What do you think of his video of fighting demon soldiers against heavenly soldiers?
Thinking this, Chen Han waved the decree at the puppet soldiers, and they turned into golden light and entered the decree, disappearing completely from sight.

Chen Han left the family cave and went directly to the back mountain. He then entered the deeper mountains. With his Mind Light Escape Technique, even the thorny thickets in the deep mountains could not stop him.

As for why he chose such a remote place, he's planning something big this time.

He had previously refined so many low-level Cloud Barrier Pills, and when he threw them all out at once, the number of demonic shadows increased dramatically, like a vast army.

However, those demonic shadows weren't very powerful; he could simply have 20 puppet soldiers deal with them.

But the shock and the aura were just different.

The key is not to scare tourists; there are definitely no idiots in these deep mountains behind.

Zhong Zheng is often mistaken for an idiot because he is a seasoned hiker who frequently explores remote mountains and forests, posts videos of his adventures, and has thus amassed a following.

Many people don't understand his behavior and think he's a fool.

His purpose in coming to the Chen family this time was also to uncover their secrets.

The key is that the Chen family has traffic.

Recently, there have been too many strange occurrences at the Chen family. Everyone knows that the Chen family is hiding a secret, but outsiders have no idea about it and have no way to investigate it.

Neither the Chen family nor the head of the Chen family acknowledged it.

He has a different idea.

Since the Chen family was able to open up tourism, the secret must not be within the scope of tourism. Therefore, he did the opposite and came to this deep mountain forest, hoping to make an unexpected discovery.

Moreover, he felt that God was looking out for him. He was resting behind a boulder when he suddenly saw patches of mist appearing around him.

This is definitely not right.

He hurriedly climbed a hidden tree and then witnessed a horrifying scene.

Then, countless demonic figures appeared in the mist, and even further away, many more indistinct demonic figures appeared, like a vast army.

Previously, the Chen family had produced many videos about the demonic shadows.

But what do those things matter compared to what's happening right now?
What's happening before us is probably an attack by a demonic army...

(End of this chapter)
