Chapter 225: We Still Have To Rely On The Matchmaker God To Correct Evil Influences!
【Special Marriage Stone: This is a Mysterious Stone refined by the Matchmaker God, made from extremely sturdy Geng Metal Meteorite as the Materials, symbolizing beautiful Marriage.
After piously worshiping the Matchmaker God, holding hands and touching the Marriage Stone will trigger the Red Thread, granting the love as strong as gold +2 Attribute, and making the relationship harmonious and happy. In that instant, images of the couple growing old together will appear in their minds.
Restrictions: Wear red clothing. Be a truly loving couple. There is currently no fault between the couple.
Prompt: The Matchmaker God did not realize that Evil Influences had already appeared in Mortal World marriages, and the Special Marriage Stone would actually be affected by Evil Influences. The Runes on it refined by the Matchmaker God to represent pure Feelings have been concealed due to the Evil Influences. It requires three days of uninterrupted Refinement to dispel the Evil Influences so that the Runes representing pure Feelings can reappear. 】
Chen Han also did not expect that after he had just complained about how relationships and marriages in modern society had become extremely distorted and probably needed the Matchmaker God to save them, the Matchmaker God unexpectedly rewarded him with something that could trigger the love as strong as gold +2 Attribute.
In other words, as long as this Special Marriage Stone is set up, any couple who holds hands and touches it can trigger the Red Thread, and this Red Thread is different from the previous Blessing because it carries the love as strong as gold +2 Attribute.
How to put it? Many couples are truly in love at the beginning, but due to the irritability of modern society and various reasons, it often leads to Breakup.
This is not that they no longer love each other, but that the restlessness and pressure of society lead to an accumulation of negative emotions, which finally explodes. Many people feel deep regret after quarrels and after the Breakup.
But more often, after the moment of impulsiveness, their stubborn personalities, or reasons such as Work, leave them with no time, energy, or ability to mend the relationship.
Once this state lasts for a week, they become numb, and in the end their strength is exhausted, and things simply fade away.
This is a very bad Current situation.
Now the non-marriage rate is high, the marriage rate is low, and the Divorce rate is high, also because of the ever-increasing pressure and restlessness of this society. For survival, most people have no extra energy to maintain their Feelings.
Of course, the fact that relationships now follow money is also one reason.
Now it is different. As long as a couple is truly in love at the beginning, if they come to the Chen Clan to hold hands and touch this Marriage Stone, it will trigger the Red Thread and grant the love as strong as gold +2 Attribute.
According to the Effect of the Game System Attributes, once the love as strong as gold +2 Attribute is triggered, that couple will definitely live in harmony for a lifetime, will not separate, will remain loyal to their Feelings, and will be able to understand each other.
Because when there is love, there is mutual understanding.
If they cannot understand each other, it simply means they do not love enough.
Naturally, there are conditions to trigger this Effect. They must be a truly loving couple. This is easy to Understand: truly and in love, two points.
If someone only stays together because they receive ten thousand a month, and will not stay together if that payment stops, then even if they are technically a couple, they are not truly in love.
The condition that the couple currently has no fault is also very clear in meaning.
Furthermore, if someone already has a partner yet keeps flirting outside, and has a male best friend or female Best Friend and goes out drinking until late at night, that definitely does not qualify either.
For couples who can meet these two points, allowing their love to be as strong as gold and to live harmoniously for a lifetime is a deed of Merit.
At the very least, the Man will always treat the Woman well, and the Woman will not angrily leave or aggressively press over the bride price issue. At least she will stand up to her family for him, and the Man will not pretend that paying the bride price is a loss but will handle things as thoughtfully as possible out of love for her.
Saving one couple counts as saving one couple.
If the number is large enough, it might truly correct the current distorted view of love and marriage.
Of course, some might say: with love as strong as gold, what if the Woman is addicted to gambling, or the Man is addicted to gambling, and they lose the entire family fortune, and yet under the Attribute’s Influence they still do not separate? Would that not harm people?
The only answer is that such a case is definitely not love as strong as gold and could not be harmonious and happy.
When a Woman or a Man truly loves their other half, they are willing to change for them, just like a Man willing to quit smoking for a Woman.
As for the condition that you must wear red clothing to trigger the Marriage Stone, that is also understandable.
This is the tradition of our country and of the Matchmaker God’s divine role.
Think about it. In the past, people in our country always wore red to get married. No one dared bring any white. Bringing white was like cursing the couple, hoping their happy event would be ruined and that they would quickly Divorce.
Putting it this way, if we look at marriage through Metaphysics, the rising Divorce rate may also have reasons in this aspect. Now weddings are all white wedding dresses, white suits, white Candles…
Thinking of this, Chen Han mocked himself a little. Sometimes people still worship foreign things. The two words fashion and trend can fool everyone into a daze.
This may well be the reason for the high Divorce rate.
After all, for a joyous event, being dressed in all white and surrounded by white means that there is no Blessing from the very beginning. How could things turn out well?
To put it in terms of yin-yang and the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth. The living use wood and fire, the dead use metal and water. Wood and fire represent life and growth, representing vitality; metal and water represent killing and lifelessness. Who would arrange metal and water for someone’s joyous occasion?
Putting it into a Five Elements Feng Shui Array, that is essentially setting up a lifeless Feng Shui Array for them, meant to make their life together go badly.
Therefore, the requirement of wearing red clothing is not strange, as it represents a beautiful Meaning.
However, the Matchmaker God also did not expect that the Evil Influences in Mortal World relationships and marriages could actually affect the Special Marriage Stone he refined, and it would take three consecutive days of Refinement to dispel these Evil Influences.
Fortunately, there is still the Artifact Refining Furnace.
Moreover, with the Special Runes on it concealed, the Marriage Stone now looks like an Ordinary Stone, just somewhat smooth. If it were thrown on the Mountain, no one would find anything special about it.
Then he saw the second Reward given by the Matchmaker God. Compared to the Special Marriage Stone, this one seemed like an extra gift and did not appear to be of much use.
【A special Red Rope: This is something the Matchmaker God casually gifted. It has no major function. It can be used once to Know whether the target has Marriage destined, and if that Marriage is nearby, it can also guide the other party.
Restriction: It can only be used on a single person who is not in a relationship. Only the user and the person it is used on can see the Red Thread. 】
Chen Han shook his head. He really had no use for this thing; he could not use it either, since it was made for single people.
The key point was that this thing could only tell whether someone had Marriage destined. It could not directly tie a Marriage for the single target. After Knowing the target, they would still have to pursue it themselves. One could only say the success rate would be very high and it would be easy to take a liking to each other.
But this was not what he cared about right now. What he wanted to Know was why so many flawless couples had suddenly appeared. Was it just good luck?
When he hurried to the Marriage Hall and happened to see a tour group of Tourists coming out, he understood.
It was a group of elderly tourists with white hair, men and women holding hands.
These were elderly couples who had already reached the age of growing old together. Perhaps in that era pure love was more common, and there was less calculation of Benefit and loss.
It was not that this era was worse than that era, but that as times progress, many things change. People’s thinking and the way they view Matters also change. It is just that people today may find it harder to adapt to these changes.
Entering the Great Hall, he saw that quite a few elderly couples from that tour group were still worshiping the Matchmaker God Statue. But the conditions for flawless couples had already been met, so there were no more Prompts.
However, as one couple worshiped, he received a Game System Prompt:
【Congratulations, your Wish Power has increased by 1 point.】
Clearly, after the establishment of the Marriage Hall, the pious worship of Tourists could indeed increase Wish Power, just like worship in the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall.
He watched for a while. A few more elderly couples worshiped, and two more points of Wish Power were provided.
In this way, collecting Wish Power would be faster. As long as couples came, those couples might not be pious toward the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, but they would likely be pious toward the Matchmaker God.
After figuring this out, Chen Han left the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall and once again turned his gaze to the Special Marriage Stone in the Game Warehouse.
In the future, this thing would definitely become a super-special feature of the Marriage Hall. Before long, it would probably surpass the Matchmaker God temple in Hangzhou City.
Then the amount of Wish Power the Matchmaker God could collect would definitely be higher than that of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.
However, right now this thing still needed to be taken to the Artifact Refining Furnace for three days of Refinement to refine away the Evil Influences contaminating it.
Before that, he would first record a Video and later upload it to the Account. The Chen Family Head Account also needed Videos to maintain Popularity.
After arriving at the Artifact Refining Furnace, he took the Special Marriage Stone out from the Game Warehouse. It was about one meter tall.
With the Runes on it concealed, it really looked like an Ordinary Stone now, and nothing special could be seen.
Then he called his Uncle with his Mobile Phone. This Artifact Refining Furnace had to refine the Special Marriage Stone continuously for three days, so someone had to watch over it.
Having his Uncle arrange for people from the Work Hall to watch over it was most suitable.
Chen Lin arrived quickly and asked, “Xiao Han, what are you going to refine this time?”
He had already witnessed the Miraculous nature of this Artifact Refining Furnace. Previously, his Nephew had used this Furnace to refine a Fan, and even the Feathers on the Fan had not been charred at all.
At that time he had thought his Nephew had pulled some trick, and when he reached out to touch it, he had nearly been burned.
The key point was that when his Nephew finished refining the Fan and casually waved it, a gust of wind swept out, blowing up all the dust and leaves on the ground.
“This.” Chen Han looked at the Marriage Stone.
Chen Lin had not paid attention to this Stone earlier. He had felt it was nothing special, but now that he saw his Nephew about to refine this Stone, he felt it was definitely not simple.
But Chen Han had already picked up his Mobile Phone to start recording. He first filmed the Ordinary-looking Stone and said, “Because the Matchmaker God has taught us the Method of refining the Marriage Stone, after exploring Green Luan Peak for many days, we finally obtained a piece of Geng Metal Meteorite that can be used to refine a Marriage Stone.”
“Now the Chen Clan Hall Elder is already before the Artifact Refining Furnace, about to ignite the Samadhi True Fire and refine this Geng Metal Meteorite for three days.”
Chen Lin already understood his Nephew’s style and did not hesitate. He immediately picked up Wood to start the fire at the Furnace and even smiled at the Lens at the right moment.
Now he was very familiar with this Business. After all, he had been playing on the Douyin Account for some time. Relying on his status as a Chen Clan Master, he already had 630,000 Fans.
Only then did Chen Han stop recording and check the Video. The Video showed an Ordinary Stone and a Furnace built of Ordinary Bricks.
But no one knew that these were actually Geng Metal Meteorite and the Artifact Refining Furnace.
Then he placed the Marriage Stone into the Furnace and sealed the Furnace again.
Looking at his Uncle, he suddenly thought of that seemingly useless Red Thread. Was his Uncle not single?
At first, when he thought he himself had an Incurable Disease and was going to die, he had wanted his Uncle to marry and have a child so that their bloodline would not end with them.
Now he might as well try it for his Uncle. Maybe he could find a good match.
With this in mind, Chen Han took out the Red Thread from the Game Warehouse and used it on his Uncle.
In the next moment, a Red Thread wrapped itself around his Uncle’s wrist.
Noticing the anomaly, Chen Lin was stunned. “Xiao Han, what is this?”
“Uncle, this is your Red Thread. It might help you find your other half,” Chen Han said with a smile.
As his words fell, the Red Thread on his Uncle’s wrist suddenly grew longer and darted outward.
Chen Lin was dumbfounded.
Chen Han was surprised. Did this mean his Uncle’s destined Marriage was within the Chen Clan?
That made him tense with anticipation. He might soon gain another Elder.
He immediately followed the Red Thread outside. Chen Lin, still confused, followed along.
Outside, Chen Han could see the extended Red Thread pointing ahead, while the surrounding Tourists could not see it at all. Some Tourists even passed through the Red Thread directly without any reaction.
Chen Han followed the Red Thread forward, wanting to see who the Woman fated with his Uncle was.
Soon, Chen Han saw the target connected to the other end of the Red Thread. The other party could not see the extra Red Thread on her wrist. This Red Thread could only be seen by the user and the one it was used on.
That meant only he and his Uncle could see it.
But when he saw the Woman who was scolding a Man, his face showed a look of surprise.
It was actually her.
(The chapter ends here.)
