Tuan Tuanyi excitedly held up his mobile phone early in the morning to tell his master the good news. Taicang Sect was on the self-media news!
The kidnapping of a child in the city did not have a good impact, so the local media only mentioned it in passing during the broadcast. The influence was limited, and at best it just triggered some discussion among the familiar neighbors nearby. Self-media news was different. The online audience was huge and spread all over the world, and the means of dissemination were not at the same level at all.
Wei Xi took his phone, but didn’t quite understand it. He only knew that the news seemed to be quoted from a video shot by the onlookers on the day. The person who recorded the video explained in a few words what happened.
Unlike the conservative traditional media that praised the heroic acts, the netizens who commented on this news had very creative ideas and focused almost entirely on other aspects:
[Oh my god, kidnapping in broad daylight is too rampant! Is this true?]
[It must be true. I saw it on the local news a few days ago, but the host didn’t say how these brave people knew the kidnapper’s escape route. But the person who filmed the scene mentioned fortune-telling, which is too mysterious. Why do I feel that it must have happened to see it.]
[To be honest, I think the video is credible. You can check the map yourself. The crime scene and the kidnapper’s car accident scene are several corners away. Dongping Road is remote, and the kidnapper changed cars. Unless the person was following behind, how could he see it so clearly? He even knew that the van had no license plate.]
[Emmmm wait a minute everyone, the name of the company Taicang Sect seems a little familiar…]
[I just remembered, is this the same company that sold the weight loss spell before?]
[That’s right, you can go and take a look at their company’s business scope, it’s ridiculous. To be honest, I saw the news that they opened a Taobao store on the homepage before, and when I opened it and saw a person called “Master”, I thought they were new Internet celebrities who wanted to collect IQ taxes from fans, but this… It can’t be that unscientific, right?]
[Damn it!! I have to come out and clear my name! I don’t know if they can tell fortunes, but the weight loss charms sold in the store are really damn useful! I grabbed one last time to join in the fun, and I thought it was just a joke, but now I have been going to the gym for nearly a month straight!]
A large group of netizens followed this comment seeking the truth. Tuan Tuanyi saw the customer feedback and quickly forwarded it to the homepage of its official blog. As expected, many fans in the comments also knew about this news. He didn’t know when it started, but the situation of joking in the comment area had quietly changed. Some fans who called him Master all the time finally realized that this was not nonsense, and there was really such a sect as Taicang Sect in the world.
As soon as the new post was published, a large amount of information immediately flooded the screen.
Wei Xi did not bother to look at it but raised his head to look at the second disciple who was coming downstairs. He found that the second disciple’s face seemed unusually haggard.
Wei Xi frowned: “Lu Que, is the immortal power effective? Is the wound still painful?”
Shuo Zong smelled the scent of incense wafting in from the open door. He vaguely saw Old Lady Wang, who had lost her mailbox key, lighting a lot of incense. But he didn’t know how to explain the unknown attack she had suffered.
He shook his head: “It’s much better now.”
At this time, Tuan Tuanyi, who was holding his phone, raised his head and asked Wei Xi: “Master, a fan asked about the story of the immortal master enshrined in our sect. Please tell me quickly.”
Why hasn’t this issue been resolved yet? Shuo Zong was speechless, and then he heard Wei Xi answer: “You ask me, how should I know?”
Shuo Zong: “…” So you know it too.
Tuan Tuanyi probably didn’t expect to get such an answer, and big question marks suddenly appeared in his eyes. Seeing that he couldn’t get an answer from his master, he could only turn to his most knowledgeable junior brother in his own sect for help.
Shuo Zong glanced at Wei Xi, who was nonchalantly leaning on the sofa playing with his phone. After a long while, he could only say to him: “The allusions of various gods are mostly the same. You can just write some casually.”
Tuanyi: “…Is that so?”
He always felt that there was something wrong with this answer, but after thinking about the myths he knew, it seemed to make some sense. To become an immortal, wasn’t it all about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and then having great luck and ascending to heaven?
“Forget it.” Since his junior brother said so, he became confident. His fingers flew and he typed out a series of heart-stirring allusions.
It was all made up.
But netizens were really fooled. There were many sincere voices in the comment section praising the immortal for being so damn powerful. Some superstitious local netizens, after learning that they could burn incense in Taicang Sect, expressed their desire to come and worship in person.
New believers! This is a historic step for our sect!
When Wei Xi learned about this, he was so happy that he ate an extra watermelon.
