Give them a little funny shock

Chapter 555 Chapter 651 I'm going to be spicy (Part )
In Si Xianghui's world, there is a group of people called "Taoists". This is a unique profession in Daqian. Similar professions in other countries have other names.

Taoist priest is a very common profession. There are quite a few of them in low-level areas, but most of them do not really have certificates. They are just fake Taoist priests.

Regardless of whether there is an official "Tianshi Document", also known as "Zhenren Document", people respectfully call this profession, or those who look like this profession, "Tianshi".

The official name of this thing is actually "Taoist priest", and the official name of the certificate is "Taoist disc".

However, this is not important.

Taoist priests make a lot of money because the price of hiring a regular Taoist priest to perform a ritual is very high.

This is also the reason why a large number of "fake Taoists" can run rampant among the people.

The price of hiring a fake Taoist priest to perform a ritual is already very expensive, and the price of a real Taoist priest will only be more expensive.

But it's worth it, most of the time.

After all, you get what you pay for.

If you want to invite a real Taoist priest to perform a ritual, an ordinary ritual, the cost is usually around a few hundred yuan.

Silver dollar.

And if it is a big deal, the price will be more expensive, starting from several thousand silver dollars, and there is no upper limit.

Moreover, many times, just a few thousand silver dollars are far from enough to hire those elite Taoist priests, and they can only hire some low-end products.

As for high-level Taoists, if you want to hire them, it is not something that can be done with just a few thousand silver dollars.

Although some wealthy families would indeed hire one or more genuine Taoist priests to perform sacrifices, not all families can afford it.

Even if you are rich, don't you have to be rich in different ways?
What's more, even if it is an offering, it does not mean that you can call upon or dispatch them at will once you have invited them.

Of course, you can distinguish between the rich and the aristocratic families. Taoists and Taoists can also distinguish between them.

Asking those Taoist priests to offer sacrifices is a form of money that can protect the family in times of crisis.

But if you want to ask them for help with something in your daily life, you will have to pay extra.

Of course, the price won’t be cheap.

Because of such a high price, ordinary people simply cannot afford to hire a regular Taoist priest. Therefore, some "fake Taoist priests", or "real people" or "mages" composed of ordinary people with some skills, have found a breeding ground for survival.

They are certainly not as good as real Taoist priests, but to be honest, they are enough to deal with most of the supernatural events we encounter in our daily lives, and the price is affordable.

However, Si Xianghui had never come into contact with these things, and he didn't even know that real Taoists were completely different from the fake Taoists he knew in the past.

The Li family also has Taoist priests. Logically speaking, with Si Xianghui's current level, he is fully capable of accessing some of the extraordinary powers in this world.

But until now, he still thought that his hometown was just an ordinary technological civilization and technological universe.

But this cannot be blamed on him, because people who have been with Wu Yun for a long time can’t help it, most of them are like this.

The Li family, to which Mr. Li belongs, is not considered wealthy in this city, but there is a very famous person in their family: the old man of the Li family, Li Chunxiang.

He used to be very famous in this city and even in the entire federation.

Li Chunxiang once worked in the federal government, but Si Xianghui was not sure about his specific position because he was just a low-income citizen at that time.

As for now, it has been a long time since Lao Deng’s glorious days. A hero never brags about his past achievements, and Si Xianghui had no interest in this in the first place.

Today, Old Master Li is nearly two hundred years old, which can be said to be very long-lived.

However, he has not appeared in public for several years. In the past, during the Lantern Festival every year, the old man of the Li family would go to the street with his children and grandchildren to enjoy the lanterns.

Nowadays, although some people from the Li family still come out to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival every year, the old man is no longer seen.

In fact, the old man of the Li family has been dead for quite some time.

At this age, it is considered a happy funeral.

However, because of the old man’s status during his lifetime, no one in the family wanted him to die.

So, some measures came into being.

It probably means: The old man of the Li family has passed away and has reached the end of his life.

When people are gone, the old man's death will also mean that the power of the Li family in the government will be greatly weakened. The Li family has been weakening over the years and has only been able to survive thanks to the old man's personal reputation.

But now that the old man is dead, the face is naturally gone.

But Mr. Li's father, the current patriarch of the Li family, and most of the elders in the clan, do not want to see this towering tree that they have worked so hard to grow fall down.

Because once Old Master Li falls, without Old Master Li's relationships, the Li family's enemies will no longer have to worry about anything.

Of course, the annihilation of the entire Li family will definitely not happen, but many of the Li family’s industries in this city will definitely be affected.

The Li family today, apart from Old Master Li who is now a towering old tree, has not produced any other big political figures.

As for the military, there is not even a single big shot in the military.

Only families that possess military power can be called "aristocrats" and be considered the true ruling class.

An army, complete control of several cities, the real boss in the region.

With the support of a complete industrial and scientific research system, it has become a "noble" company.

Humanity's oldest and most tenacious system.

Military nobility.

A true "noble".

After all, no matter how powerful they are, they are still just a powerful family in one city. Even with the big tree of Old Master Li, they can't support themselves.

The younger generation in my family is not living up to expectations, I can only say that.

Even when it comes to doing business, they don't have much ability. If it weren't for the reputation of Old Master Li, they would probably have lost money.

Generally speaking, except for Old Master Li, the rest of the Li family are a bunch of good-for-nothings with no skills.

They have accumulated such a fortune thanks to the help of Old Master Li. If Old Master Li dies, they will most likely not be able to maintain this fortune.

Therefore, the Li family had an evil idea and wanted to bring Old Master Li back to life.

To be more precise, it is to allow Old Master Li's body to protect the Li family for another ten years.

This is commonly known as "corpse refining", which is to turn Old Master Li's corpse into a puppet.

Under the manipulation of others, the old man looked like a living person, able to eat and drink, move freely, and speak.

The person that the Li family found who could do this was the target on the order that Si Xianghui received this time.
