Chapter 127 Get ready, sMaster Hongjuns! (1/2)
”Master Hongjun...” Hao Ning laughed so fast that he had a side stitch. Looking at Liu Shuai and Long Fei, their laughter almost spent. Hao Ning asked breathlessly, ”Hey guys, is that what Nezha said?”
”Of course, this young man was particularly nervous and came to see us. After seeing your face...” Liu Shuai touched his chest and waited for a while before continuing, ”He immediately knelt on the ground and called you Master Hongjun. Oh, he was so pious that we couldn't even pull it up!”
”Didn't you ask him why?” Hao Ning thought that this Nezha was very interesting, but there must be a reason, ”Could it be mistaken? I really think that I’m a ‘Mr. Average’. Maybe look like Master Hongjun!”
After saying that, Hao Ning could not help laughing.
”Of course we asked,” Zhou Yuan smiled and said with a nod, ”but after all this trouble last night, he was so frightened that he refused to tell us anything. We also asked other questions, but he began to talk nonsense.”
”You are a visionary, absolutely, and you ought to feel ashamed of yourself for saying that you are a ‘Mr. Average’.” Liu Shuai said with a smile as he heard Hao Ning's nonsense. ”No one really has painted a portrait of Master Hongjun, and Taoism even did not recognize the existence of Master Hongjun as a god at all, okay? There is no temple of Master Hongjun at all, still less burning incense. Without incense, how could this god has come into being?”
”Hey, you can't be so absolute.” Hao Ning stopped laughing. He was now slowly aware of some of the relationship between God and faith, so he knew characters that were written by novelists like Master Hongjun were unlikely to become gods because of poor attendance, but there was no absolute truth in the world. Therefore, Hao Ning still guessed with a smile, ”Maybe people have a lot of faith in some old fairy tales like ‘Creation of the Gods’, and Master Hongjun has a very high position in that tale. Maybe I am really his reincarnation.”
”Hahaha...” Liu Shuai did not care about Hao Ning’s feeling, ”If you are reincarnated by Mater Hongjun. Then I am The Original, no, I am the jade plate of the creator...hey? Is that the jade plate of the creator or the Original first appeared?”
Zhou Yuan listened to their conversations in some perplexity, ”What is The Original and the jade plate of the creator?”
Hao Ning knew well what Liu Shuai was talking about. These two things Liu Shuai said were newly created by online novels in recent decades, which was anterior to Master Hongjun. As a human being, once you wanted to know the reason, there would be an infinite imagination in your mind. As long as someone created Master Hongjun, others must ask endlessly who was anterior to it? This kind of thing was just like taking the stairs－If you made one up, you could certainly make another one up and you didn't have to expect anyone to worship it anyway. However, it was just that people like Zhou Yuan, who hardly read online novels, couldn’t understand it at all.
”Both the jade plate of the creator and the Original,” Hao Ning looked at Zhou Yuan and explained patiently, ”These two things are theoretically more powerful than Master Hongjun. This guy is particularly powerful. His spit can destroy our earth, no, our universe, no no no, our countless universes.”
”Wow, is that really such powerful?” Zhou Yuan could not help but he was surprised and asked seriously, ”Who is it exactly? Why I've never heard of it?”
”Of course, it's powerful!” Liu Shuai smiled and said, ”But just in theory, in fact, his incense is not as good as...” Liu Shuai pulled out the Falling Treasure Coin he had just now, ”It's not as much as the faith of the people who have accumulated on this coin.”
”Why?” Zhou Yuan was confused, ”Why such a powerful god without any stream of pilgrims?”
”Because he made it up, hahaha!” Hao Ning could not help laughing and said, ”And it has been made up in the past few years. In terms of the time when the jade plate of the creator and The Original were made up, it was produced even later than me who is a pure and pute post-2000s generation! If you think about it, you will find that it has been made up for a few years. No one has set up a temple, and there is certainly not much faith. How can it become a god?”
”So...” Zhou Yuan suddenly realized, ”you are amusing me! How can this imaginary thing become a god?”
”I don't agree with that,” Liu Shuai said, looking at Zhou Yuan with his smile fading away. ”Whether or not to become a god doesn’t depend on whether it is imaginary, but on whether people believe it. As long as more people believe in it, it becomes faith, and it is possible to become a god.”
”All right,” Hao Ning made a stop gesture when he saw Zhou Yuan wanted to argue with Liu Shuai, ”We don't need to argue about this. Maybe in a few hundred years, people will believe it. There is really the Original who will be born.”
”Yes, we seek common ground while reserving differences,” Liu Shuai agreed, and then said to Hao Ning, ”As for Master Hongjun...” After saying that, Hao Ning tried to kick Liu Shuai's ass, but Liu Shuai avoided it. ”Nezha said he would visit us in a few days...of course, especially visit you. You really need to well perform. Whatever props you want to prepare, we will all buy for you, such as apples, bananas, dragon fruit, longan, rice, incense, wreath and couple. But if we haven’t buy any high-grade sandalwood, you can only use mosquito repellent incense instead.”
”Get out, and your filthy mouth cannot utter decent language.” Hao Ning was still a little proud when he heard this performance. However, when he heard Liu Shuai wanted to buy him a wreath and the couplet, he knew that Liu Shuai had no good intentions. ”Liu Shuai, you are getting crafty and not that unsophisticated programmer I know anymore.”
”Wen always loves the naughty me.” Liu Shuai chuckled. It seems that men who really have love will be different, ”But seriously, you should think about how to explain it. We can't be timid when Nezha comes, can we? At least we have gods on our side.” Liu Shuai looked at the confused moment god, and Long Fei, who looked like a wealth fan and looking at those magic weapons even couldn’t be pulled out of his eyes. Liu Shuai sighed. Although there were two gods here, from the outlook appearance, they had nothing like the same class or quality with Nezha!
”Wait!...How does Nezha know where I am?” Hao Ning said doubtfully, ”It won't be...”
