Chapter 247 Taoist Temple Established
Tokyo.
The city fell into unprecedented chaos and panic.
The sudden tragic news of a senior state official being stabbed to death was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge impact on all levels of society.
On the streets, people were in panic, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
The political world was in chaos. The balance of power was instantly broken, and various forces were ready to move, competing fiercely for vacant positions and power.
However, no one expected that after the assassination of a senior state official, several influential politicians would be murdered one after another, which made the already turbulent situation even more out of control.
The media were extremely busy, with all kinds of news flying around that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, further exacerbating the panic among the people.
The international community is paying close attention to the situation in Tokyo and has expressed concerns about its stability and security.
Soon, some politicians discovered that those killed were political right-wingers.
They tend to hold strong nationalist sentiments, emphasize the uniqueness and superiority of island nations, and sometimes even show extreme xenophobia.
On historical issues, right-wingers tend to deny or glorify the island nation’s history of aggression and refuse to acknowledge war crimes! They have also visited the Yasukuni Shrine!
As the investigation deepened, Sato Taro was completely exposed. Before being arrested, he committed suicide by disembowelment.
Because he had a record of entering and leaving China, many countries speculated for a time whether the assassination was related to China.
Shen Sangning watched the news and didn't take it seriously.
Speculations are always just speculations, if you have the ability, provide evidence!
China has so much evidence, but those brainless right-wingers in the island countries still deny it? They even enshrine Class A war criminals, who deserve to die.
On the other side, Bai Xiaotian personally supervised the Taoist temple project.
As time went by, the prototype of the Taoist temple gradually emerged.
Working day and night, a magnificent and solemn Taoist temple was completed in less than three months.
There are 999 steps from the bottom of the mountain to the top.
As you step into the Taoist temple, you will see a spacious courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. The courtyard is surrounded by lush pine and cypress trees. The breeze makes a rustling sound, like the whisper of nature.
There is no statue in the main hall. There is only a wooden sign hanging on it. On the sign is written the three characters "Lingyun Temple".
The eyes are compassionate yet majestic. Below the wooden sign is the altar, and the incense smoke curling from the incense burner makes people feel awe.
Standing in the Taoist temple and looking down, with mountains behind and water in front, the mountains behind are like a winding and undulating dragon, and the water in front is crystal clear and gurgling, bringing vitality and agility.
"Not bad." Shen Sangning was quite satisfied and praised casually.
When Bai Xiaotian heard the praise, a smile finally appeared on his tense face, and he said, "As long as Master Shen is satisfied, all the hard work of the past few months will be worth it."
"By the way, the staff you asked me to recruit have also been trained and can be in place at any time."
"It's just...isn't the price of our tickets a little too low?"
Bai Xiaotian asked cautiously. In total, building such a Taoist temple cost nearly 100 billion!
It’s just a ten-dollar ticket. When can I make my money back?
And this ten yuan also includes the money for three incense sticks...
Coupled with the daily limit of 50,000 people, it is almost a waste of time.
I guess they don’t make as much as the parking, transportation, catering and accommodation services at the foot of the mountain.
What puzzled him most was that the price of this service was very cheap.
A standard room comparable to that of a three-star hotel only costs 199.
For this purpose, Bai Xiaotian specially sought professional advice to make an assessment. With the continuous flow of customers, it is estimated that it will take more than 200 years to make a profit!
Shen Sangning smiled and said, "I didn't expect this Taoist temple to make money. I've worked hard during this period."
"Let's have the staff come to work tomorrow and do a good job of publicity. The day after tomorrow, on the eighth day of the lunar new year, we'll hold the inauguration ceremony!"
Bai Xiaotian nodded and said, "Okay, Master Shen, I'll do it now."
After Bai Xiaotian left, Shen Sangning took out her cell phone and started the live broadcast.
As I have been busy with the affairs of the sect and the Taoist temple, more than a month has passed since the last broadcast.
Not only did her number of fans not decrease, but it increased by several million, and has now exceeded the 7000 million mark.
But the power of faith she could feel was minimal.
"Hello, my dears, long time no see~" Shen Sangning waved at the camera with a sweet smile on her face.
[You! Still! Know! It’s on! Broadcast! Woohoo...]
[Why, why do you treat children like this? It's too cruel! ]
[Huh? The host's name has been changed! Master of Lingyun Temple? ]
[Really? Lingyun Temple? Where is it? ]
[So the master is the master of the temple, no wonder he is so powerful! Master, are you still accepting disciples? I want to learn! ]
Shen Sangning smiled mysteriously: "I am now at Lingyun Temple. This mountain has also been renamed Lingyun Mountain."
"You can search for it through Quedi Map or Baidu Map."
"This Taoist temple has just been built. The inauguration ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow, and it will also be open to the public the day after tomorrow."
"I will be at Lingyun Temple every day in the future unless there are special circumstances. Everyone is welcome to visit and pray!"
"The ticket is not expensive, only ten yuan. It includes three incense sticks!"
Shen Sangning held up her phone, turned around and aimed the camera at the huge incense burner outside the main hall.
"When the time comes, everyone can collect the incense here, and staff will distribute it in order."
[The scenery looks nice, surrounded by mountains and water. Is the ticket really only ten yuan? Isn't there any hidden cost? ]
[Many tourist attractions are full of tricks. Once you enter the park, you have to take a bus or cable car, or you have to pay for taking photos. It's impossible to spend only ten yuan! You will lose a lot of money! ]
[It doesn’t matter whether I consume or not, I just want to know how to find a master to tell my fortune after entering the Taoist temple! ]
[Yes, I went there to see you, Master. I guess there will be a lot of people...]
[Master, if I ask you to tell my fortune or ask for your blessing, do I have to pay extra for it? ]
Shen Sangning scanned the comments and curled her lips: "The ticket office is at the foot of Lingyun Mountain. You only need to walk 999 steps to get up the mountain."
"If there are tourists with limited mobility, they can explain the situation to our staff and a special car will be provided to pick them up free of charge."
"The Taoist temple will limit the number of visitors to 80 people per day, with 20% of sales to be online and % to be offline, until all tickets are sold out. Please note that real-name registration is required to purchase tickets to prevent scalpers from reselling at high prices."
"Also, tickets are sold three days in advance. You need to have a ticket for the day to come in."
"There are many benefits to coming here. I have arranged special Feng Shui and formations in the Taoist temple, and you can experience them for yourself when the time comes."
"As for the other expenses you mentioned, they do exist."
"One is an electronic donation box. All income from the donation box will be summarized on a display to facilitate supervision by all sectors of society. I will then use the income for charity, and all the merit will be fed back to everyone."
"It is set up to facilitate everyone to voluntarily express their support and contribution to charity. Whether to donate and the amount of donation depends entirely on personal willingness and ability."
"The other one just wants to get the appearance fee from me for fortune-telling!"
