When Yu Cui excitedly logged into her account to recount her experience, she found out that someone had already arrived before her, causing the comment section under Taicang Sect’s lottery Weibo post to explode.
A total of ten people were drawn in the Heart Purifying Talisman lottery, and the winners all had more or less similar experiences to Yu Cui.
Procrastination was a very common disease among the contemporary population. After all, there were so many entertainment activities in life, and work and study were boring and hard. Except for a few people with particularly strong willpower, who dared to say that they could resist these temptations and bury themselves in boring things?
Therefore, the student party cried: [Teacher, teacher saw me: Oh my god, it’s Buddha, Master, I really am Buddha. When I received the talisman paper, I laughed with my classmates that it was drawn so ugly. I am about to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but I have been out of shape recently. I am always drowsy and afraid to read. I am really worried that I will fail. Who knew that after I brought it, I actually listened to the class with gusto and did a whole book of questions! I feel that I suddenly understood a lot of things that I couldn’t understand! Thank you, Master! I have confidence now and decided to completely shut myself off from the Internet to review. When I pass the postgraduate entrance examination, I will definitely come back to fulfill my wish! Please bless me, Master!]
Working people sighed: [Middle-aged greasy salted fish: ………After living for more than 30 years, this is the first time I feel like a Young Pioneer. I used to be too lazy to wash dirty clothes and smelly socks for two months and was scolded every day, but now I feel energetic and want to work every day when I open my eyes. My wife was moved to tears when she saw me washing clothes and cleaning. My pocket money has doubled. The company leaders also praise me every day and told me that I stand out from the entire project team for my serious work. A few days ago, I was noticed by the senior leader. Because I am not young, I may be considered for a promotion at the end of the month. What the hell is this Heart Purifying Talisman? It is totally unbelievable.]
However, such comments at most made people marvel and congratulate. What really sparked heated discussions among netizens was a long-term weight loss professional like Yu Cui.
[I must lose weight before the end of the year: To be honest, all the fans on my homepage know that I have no self-control. I have been talking about losing weight for so many years, but my QQ signature is still “Midnight snacks are my life”. However, since I received this Heart Purifying Talisman, I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, I actually don’t eat! All! Of! My! Night! Snacks! After work, I only want to go to the gym! I only want to lift weights! I only want to swim! I only want to build muscle! I hated exercise so much! But now it’s not painful at all, and I enjoy it! I am so happy to eat fitness meals! Today, my waistline has shrunk to 73cm! My face has become a whole circle smaller! Now I am so confident. I unilaterally declare that from today on, I am a disciple of Taicang Sect! As long as I can continue to lose weight, I will never betray my master!]
This weight loss expert was a funny internet celebrity with considerable influence on the Internet. On her homepage, she detailed the psychological changes that occurred after she wore the Heart Purification Talisman, and also posted photos of her body shape that had changed visibly after just a few days of high-intensity exercise. Pictures speak louder than words, and except for a few skeptics, all her fans were excited and flocked to the official blog of Taicang Sect.
….
Tuan Tuanyi had just finished drawing a new set of talismans that his fellow junior students had asked him to copy as punishment, but he was so startled by the continuous sound of message alerts that he almost dropped his pen.
When he opened his account, he was greeted by thousands of messages like a tsunami.
[Ahhh, please give me a weight loss talisman, Master!!!!]
[Master! Will there be a lottery for the weight loss talisman?! Can you buy it with money too?!!!]
[Is it the rule here to call someone Master? Then I’ll call him Master too! I weigh over 200 pounds today! Please save this child!!]
Tuanyi: “…”
What the hell was a weight loss talisman? He was confused for a while, but when he saw what was happening, he was immediately furious.
How did the Heart Purifying Talisman become a weight loss charm? It was so difficult to learn, and I was punished by my junior brother to copy it thousands of times. But such a cool name was changed casually by this group of people!
However, although he was angry, he was still very welcoming to doing business. When he saw that the sales were opening up, he immediately took advantage of the opportunity and opened a Taobao store to sell his stockpiled goods.
There were also voices of doubt about this. After all, in the age of technology, it was a fantasy to expect people to believe that a talisman could help people live a regular life. But so what? What tricks had people who really wanted to lose weight not tried? Was taking diet pills and dieting scientific? In addition, there were also lazy cancer patients who were deeply troubled by procrastination but never had enough self-control to correct it and were eager to change their lives. These people placed an order to buy this life-saving straw after a little hesitation. Anyway, the price was not that expensive. Even if they were cheated, it was just an extra IQ tax.
….
This strange company, Taicang Sect, gradually became known on the Internet.
Uncle Zhao, an offline believer, also delivered the incense burner he promised.
Wei Xi originally thought that what he was going to donate was just a small incense burner, but this believer was extremely pious and actually brought a large bronze tripod that was more than one meter high.
When Shu Wanrong saw this thing being transported to her doorstep, she almost fainted: “This, this thing is not going to be moved into the house, right?” Wouldn’t her husband be so angry when he comes back and sees it?
Wei Xi looked at the size of the object and nodded, indicating that it was not feasible: “It is indeed inappropriate to put it in the house.”
Shu Wanrong had just put her mind at ease when she heard him say, “This incense burner is so magnificent, it should be placed at the gate of the courtyard to be worshipped by people. Let’s put it on the other side of the sect’s stone tablet.”
Shu Wanrong: “………………”
Shu Wanrong watched in despair as the workers placed the large incense burner at the gate of the courtyard. She almost saw the tragic scene of her husband hanging himself at the doorstep in the middle of the night due to a rage.
At this time, Tuan Tuanyi who had been contacting the courier to send out the inventory and came to help. He then rubbed against his master and complained, mentioning that his high-end Heart Purification Talisman was renamed as Weight Loss Talisman by netizens.
Wei Xi didn’t quite understand what he said, so he could only touch his head to comfort him. The second disciple immediately looked at him coldly and said, “The Heart Purification Talisman is meant to help practitioners strengthen their faith and eliminate distracting thoughts. It is very useful. Ordinary people only notice its effect in assisting weight loss. This is because you have practiced too little and your skills are not good enough. Draw another 500 of them, and maybe you will break through.”
Tuan Tuanyi was so frightened when he heard that his junior brother was going to punish him by making him draw talismans again: “No! I’ve already become proficient at it!”
Wei Xi was also curious about how his eldest disciple, who was particularly dumb in terms of cultivation, was doing in learning talismans. Seeing that he was resisting the homework, he simply spread out his hands and said, “Show me a copy of the Heart Purifying Talisman you drew.”
Tuan Tuanyi happened to have a piece of paper in his pocket to motivate himself to ship the goods carefully, so he immediately took it out and gave it to him. Wei Xi took it and looked at it carefully. Apart from the fact that the painting was a bit ugly, he couldn’t see what needed improvement.
He looked around and saw Shu Wanrong standing at the door, staring at the incense burner in a trance. So, he simply reached out and slapped the talisman on Shu Wanrong’s back.
Shu Wanrong immediately became visibly excited, and her eyes became bright, as if she was very eager to do something.
Wei Xi asked him: “Wanrong, what do you want to do now?”
When Shu Wanrong heard his question, she became even more anxious. She even started jogging on the spot and answered eagerly, “I…I want to…I want to go for a spa!”
Wei Xi: “…………”
Wei Xi frowned and tore the talisman paper off her back. He looked around again and this time saw Wei Chengshu, who was sitting on a stepladder with a gloomy face, scrubbing the sect’s plaque. He stuck the talisman paper on Wei Chengshu’s leg again.
Wei Chengshu was holding a rag and a large iron bucket that he had just replaced. His gloomy expression suddenly changed. Wei Xi asked him, “Chengshu, what do you want to do?”
Wei Chengshu sat on the ladder with his legs apart, his lips trembling, as if he found it difficult to speak. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, “…I want to go racing and go to the bar.”
Wei Xi frowned even more and tore off the spell and returned it to his eldest disciple: “The Heart Purification Spell helps people clear their distracting thoughts, but they don’t think about watering the flowers and cleaning the signs, but only want to go out and play. It can be seen that it is not very effective.”
Tuanyi: “…”
