The gang leader of the Internet became famous and became a god through metaphysics variety show

Chapter 108: The Sixth Episode: Daring and Reckless (3)
Xiao Yu seemed to have had his bubble of worry and fear pierced. His face suddenly lost all color and turned pale as paper. “No way, it can’t really be because of that.”

Yan Zhao looked at him strangely: "Since you came to me to connect and seek a solution, why don't you believe that there is a mysterious force in this world?"

The audience in the live broadcast room have been made uneasy by their mysterious conversation, and comments are flying everywhere.

[No, is there anyone who can tell me what they are talking about? Is this some encrypted conversation? Why can't I understand it? ]

[Ah, I was wondering why he looked so familiar, isn't he that internet celebrity! Just a few months ago, during the Fujian Province God Parade, an internet celebrity cosplayed as Prince Zhao and was badly criticized. The news even became a hot topic! ]

[The Internet may not have memory, but it still has records. I searched the news and found it! It caused quite a lot of discussion at the time, but later the person involved apologized and the matter faded away. It turned out to be him.]

Director Yang Hao made a gesture to his colleagues and immediately switched the screen to the live broadcast room to play the relevant news at the right time.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, a parade of gods was held in a certain place in Fujian Province.

Videos posted by multiple netizens showed that when "Prince Zhao" was parading, a man with similar attire stood in front of the statue and smiled at the onlookers.

A groom in the procession waved his whip several times, signaling him to leave, but the man still stood in the procession, looking relaxed and content.

[Uh, so his bad luck is because of this? To be honest, the imitation is quite similar, it’s just cosplay, is it that serious? ]

[I believe some of you don’t know what the Parade of Gods is. As a local, let me give you some basic information.

The parade of gods is a traditional folk activity in Fujian and Guangdong provinces. During festive occasions such as the New Year, people go to the temple and place the statue of the god in a sedan chair, then carry it out of the temple to imitate the parade of the god, accepting the incense and worship of the people. It means that the god has descended to the people, inspecting the village and blessing the whole country with peace.

There are thousands of gods in the cultural beliefs of our Fujian Province, among which the "Crown Prince Group" is particularly famous. The original meaning of "Crown Prince" is the heir of ancient princes, that is, the "second generation of gods" who has the right to inherit the title.

The Prince Zhao he cosplayed is the son of Zhao Guangming, Duke Zhenling of the Five Blessings Emperor. I can’t post the picture here, so those who are interested can search for it! 】

[Yes, friends from other places may not understand it, but we locals will be really angry when we see this kind of behavior!

He even dared to walk in front of the prince and accept people's worship along the way. This was eating the prince's incense and was extremely disrespectful to the gods!
His virtue was unworthy of his position and he offended the gods. We said at the time that he would definitely be punished. Sure enough, it came, albeit slowly. How cool! 】

[I recently saw a sentence that was very true, "The money people make by luck will eventually be paid back by cognition." Internet celebrities are uneducated and will do anything to become famous. They don't respect the customs and culture of the locals, and they deserve it. 】

Xiao Yu looked extremely regretful: "I really didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought this event was interesting and I could shoot some footage to attract some attention. I didn't expect it to cause controversy. A lot of people scolded me that time and I apologized."

"But I didn't expect that in the past few months since then, I have been very unlucky. Nothing I do goes well. Even drinking cold water gets stuck in my teeth."

As an internet celebrity, he was not afraid of negative comments and insults, but it was not until it became clear that this behavior had affected his fortune and directly harmed his personal interests that he finally realized the seriousness of the problem and pleaded with his eyes.

"Master, is there any way to remedy this? I have worked so hard to get here, I don't want to end up with nothing."

Yan Zhao looked indifferent: "It's no use asking me this, and it's no use apologizing to the public. Since you have offended the gods with your ignorant and reckless behavior, you need to personally seek forgiveness from the gods."

[Xiao Yu] opened his eyes wide, put aside the calculations of material and interests, and revealed a clear stupidity and some confusion.

"How can I get the forgiveness of the gods? Should I swear to the heavens, kneel down to apologize, burn incense and donate money, or do more good deeds and charity?"

Yan Zhao shook his head: "No need, since you have been there, you should know the customs and habits."

[I know, I know. Let me continue to educate you!
We use the method of throwing divination blocks to ask the gods! Throwing divination blocks is a way for people who are affirmed by believers to communicate with the gods and ask for instructions.

The cup block is usually made of wood or bamboo and carved into a crescent shape. It has two sides that are convex on the outside and flat on the inside. The convex side of the cup block is called "yin" and the flat side is called "yang".

Before the believers throw the divination blocks, they need to walk around the incense burner three times barefoot, kneel before the gods, explain their name, date of birth, address, and request, and ask the gods to make the decision or indicate whether it is possible or not. After the request is completed, the divination blocks are thrown to the ground to know the result, which is generally divided into three situations:
1. Holy Grail: It is one flat and one convex [one yang and one yin], which means that what you ask for is acceptable.

2. Laughing Cup: It has two planes [two positive sides], which means that the explanation is unclear and the gods and Buddhas have not made up their minds, so they need to be consulted again.

3. Yin cup: If there are two convex sides [two negative sides], it means it is not possible, or it is more bad than good, and you need to ask again. 】

Yan Zhao nodded: "Yes, thank you for the scientific explanation from this enthusiastic friend. Just as she said, you need to return to the place where you are and go to the temple to ask the gods you offended for their opinions by throwing divination blocks until the Holy Grail appears and you gain the gods' forgiveness."

[Xiao Yu] Although he felt that this method was very mysterious, he had personally experienced mysterious things after all, and he was completely convinced, and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I understand. I'll buy the ticket right now. Thank you, Master!"

He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Master, do I need to take out the prosthesis in my nose?"

In fact, he chose to have his nose done because things had been going badly for him after the cos incident, so he thought that working on his face might change his fortune.

Who would have thought that after having my nose done, my bad luck got worse?
Yan Zhao looked indifferent, and instead of answering, he asked, "You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and thanked him sincerely: "I understand. Thank you, Master, and thank you all! In the future, I will have awe for traditional culture and create works based on the premise of understanding and respecting culture."

After the connection was disconnected, the audience in the comment section was still discussing it, and some people asked Yan Zhao about this topic.

[Zhao Zhao, are there really gods in this world? ]

[No. It’s fine if you believe in metaphysics, but do you really believe in God? ]

[Ghosts, gods, gods, I've seen ghosts, maybe gods really exist! ]

"If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist." Yan Zhao smiled slightly: "Whether it is true or not, as the saying goes, there is a god three feet above your head. You can not believe it, but it is best not to be disrespectful."

[I understand! Maintaining respect and awe for all things will always be beneficial! ]

[Speaking of which, I suddenly wondered, before plastic surgery, can I not only consult a doctor in person, but also consult a guru? ]

[It makes sense, medical beauty + metaphysics, opening up a new track, Zhao Zhao, would you consider taking a part-time job? ]

[It's so funny, the master of metaphysics is so powerful, he has a variety of job directions, such as HR, human-shaped sky eye, and medical beauty consultant. It turns out that a good blacksmith must be strong himself, and there is no ceiling for what he is capable of doing! ]

[No, I just want to say, do any of you still remember that Zhao Zhao's main job is a female star! ]

Yan Zhao smiled helplessly, and amid the netizens’ imaginative discussions, he clicked to select the next lucky audience member.

The registration button spun, and the nickname of the second destined person popped up, which was [Lawless].

It is adapted from real events, and those who are interested can go and search for it. The folk customs are really interesting, and I am very interested in such mysterious and strange things, haha.

The process of the god-processing mentioned above is generally divided into three parts: inviting the gods, parading the gods (parade), and sending the gods back to the palace (the master returns to the hall).

When inviting the gods to leave the temple, they also need to first ask the gods' wishes by throwing blocks. Specifically, the elders hold two crescent-shaped blocks and ask the gods whether they are willing to leave the temple for a parade. At the same time, people have already made all the preparations for the "parade of gods", ready to go, just waiting for the gods to "nod".

Then, the blocks are thrown. If one "holy cup" appears right side up and the other upside down three times, everyone will cheer and invite the gods out. The movements must be quick and orderly. It is said that the faster people run, the happier the gods are. If two "laughing cups" (flat side facing up) appear, the cups must be thrown again. If two "yin cups" (convex side facing up) appear, it means that the gods do not agree to leave the temple for a parade.

After the "God Parade" is over, the gods must be "sent back to the palace", which also requires the consent of the gods through the throwing of divination blocks. If the gods do not want to return to the palace for the time being, people will carry the sedan chair around the outside of the temple in circles until the "holy cup" is obtained by throwing the divination blocks. If the gods agree to return to the palace, the "chief of security" will lead the way with a whip, and the grooms will follow closely behind, running quickly to clear the way. Finally, the sedan bearers will carry the gods "to the palace" and send them back to their original position in the temple to sit. At this point, the entire "God Parade" activity is considered a complete success.
