I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 185 Chen Family Martial Arts Demonstration! Clouds and Mist + Flute Sounds!

Chu Ping and Chen Kai chatted and finally came to a conclusion: regardless of whether the cloud barrier technique was magic or not, they would go to the Chen family's place in the afternoon to take a look.

So, in the afternoon, when it was almost time, Chu Ping called Chen Kai and they went to the Chen family together.

Not long after leaving the county town and entering the section of road leading to Chenshi, we found that one side of the road was fenced off and a construction team was working on it.

This is a donation from Mr. Wang; the road repair project for the Chen family has already begun.

Road construction cannot proceed in a straight line, as that would cause serious traffic problems. Generally, different stages of road construction are carried out at intersections.

On this section of road under construction, there are people stationed on both sides to stop vehicles.

Because one side of the road is blocked, only one side can pass. If this is not done, cars from both sides will drive forward together and get stuck in the middle, making it impossible to move forward or backward.

Therefore, traffic can only be allowed to pass in a staggered manner; once one side has passed, the other side is allowed to proceed.

This is also why road construction requires intersections.

When the two arrived at the Chen family's residence, it was obvious that the afternoon was unusually lively, far exceeding the previous two days.

Even though people from outside couldn't get in, a huge number of people from Linhe County came to join in the fun.

There are more stalls around the Immortal Cultivation Market, and there are also more stalls selling grass jelly, juice, and various snacks that come temporarily.

...

Chen family.

Chen Han suddenly received a game notification:
[Congratulations! You've located and eliminated the remnants of the Ciyun Temple's demonic sect lurking within the Chen family. However, the two female demons previously discovered are still lingering near the Chen family. Please drive the lobster demon and the crooked-mouthed dragon demon... or rather, the crooked-mouthed loach demon, back to the Thousand Illusions Swamp as soon as possible.]

This is good news.

Now all that's left is to trick two girls into going to play on the muddy road.

The next moment, Huang Xin called.

He roughly guessed what it was about.

Upon answering, he indeed heard the other party's excited voice: "Patriarch Chen, do you know who we caught yesterday? A big fish, and we identified him in just one night."

“This guy is involved in a large sum of embezzled money. The county will be able to keep a large amount of it from our case, and everyone will get a lot more bonuses. Besides, you will have no idea who he is.”

Hearing the other party's suspenseful manner, Chen Han feigned curiosity and asked, "Is the other party's identity extraordinary?"

Huang Xin smiled and hinted, "The other party is the illegitimate child of a very famous celebrity recently online, and he is related to a temple."

"Understood." Chen Han understood instantly and didn't say anything more, after all, the affairs of the Buddhist sect had nothing to do with their Taoist sect.

So he added, "These were all clues discovered by the person who honked the horn."

"We'll present him with a banner then," Huang Xin said with a smile. He naturally knew something about this internet celebrity named Mingdi; he was an interesting fellow.

The other party is also investing in Shangyuan Village now, and I've met them a few times before.

After hanging up the phone, he headed towards the stage.

Today was also the most exciting day of the performance, with the junior sister's sword dance, and Chen Dalong and Chen Jun, the two prodigies of the family, also performing with her.

My junior sister said she'd give everyone a surprise with today's performance.

In addition, the three family masters, Uncle Xiao, Uncle Da Gou, and Uncle Shui Sheng, will also lead some people from the Yu Mo Tang to perform Chen-style martial arts.

And their chests breaking large stones.

This can be considered a demonstration of Chen's true kung fu skills.

Chen Dalong and Chen Jun also had to perform martial arts together, so they were quite busy in the afternoon.

Another highlight is his cloud-covering performance.

This is probably what fans and netizens are most concerned about, especially those who previously filmed cloud illusion special effects videos.

Therefore, when the show was about to start on the third day, the tourists gathered here very early.

When the show began, all the tourists gathered around the stage.

Today's opening performance was a fashion show featuring several girls dressed in traditional Chinese style.

The fashion show took a different turn this time, featuring basket fairies. Each person carried a small basket with bouquets and fruits on it.

When interacting with tourists, they will also give these bouquets of fruits to them.

Soon it was Xiaoyu's turn to perform her swordsmanship.

When Xiao Mi took the microphone and announced, she said with a smile, "Now, please welcome our junior sister Xiao Yu to perform a sword dance for everyone."

As she finished speaking, two poles were brought out and placed on the stage, with a button-like device at the bottom of each pole.

Once the pole was erected, it was fixed to the performance stage.

Furthermore, there are protruding sections on the pole that people can step on.

Chen Han watched this scene from a spot backstage and was quite curious. What was his junior sister doing with this thing while performing her sword dance?
However, the junior sister's performance soon began. She drew her sword sharply and with a powerful shake, it even produced a sword cry.

This sword sound is different from the sword sound described in novels. It is an effect produced by drawing or swinging the sword, which is the force applied to the sword in that instant.

A Taoist priest from Wudang also demonstrated this sword sound, but his sword was softer and easier to achieve. More importantly, when this Wudang Taoist priest promoted it, he insisted that it was the effect of internal energy on the sword, which drew a lot of criticism.

It's actually caused by a type of metal vibration.

If you have enough strength, you can make the sword vibrate when you draw or swing it, and if the arc reaches a certain point, it can instantly produce a sword-sound.

It's actually a sound of vibration and resonance.

The Taoist priest's addition of a description of qi acting on the sword, which could be completely explained by scientific principles, naturally drew criticism.

However, one thing is certain: not everyone can achieve the sword's resonance. At the very least, you need to be able to exert enough force in your wrist, and it's not enough to just use brute force; you also need to combine strength with skill and coordinate it with the sword's momentum.

Therefore, in the past, when practicing swordsmanship, being able to produce this sword echo was at least proof of skill.

Then, Chen Han saw his junior sister begin to unleash fierce sword moves.

He immediately recognized it as a Taoist sword technique called "Tai Ke Swordplay," which emphasizes sharpness. The key point is that such moves are more entertaining to perform.

At this moment, Chen Dalong and Chen Jun also joined in, working together with their junior sister to execute moves.

Most choreographed fighting performances have one major flaw: they are obviously staged, the traces are too heavy, and they are weak and unconvincing.

After all, it can't be like making a movie, where fight scenes have people specifically designed to take hits and wear protective gear.

However, the junior sister's performance was clearly different, because she was truly powerful, and she controlled her strength very well. This showed that she had strong physical qualities and was very skilled in swordsmanship, allowing her to handle the task with ease.

Most importantly, although Chen Dalong and Chen Jun's physical abilities cannot compare with their uncles, their junior sister has been consistently refining body-strengthening pills for them to eat.

In addition, since he returned to the Chen family and trained with Chen Dalong and Chen Dagou every day, his physique was also higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, he cooperated very well with his junior sister and was full of strength, unlike countless other sets of moves that seemed fake.

Even the surrounding tourists noticed that they were captivated by the martial arts performance.
"This is a real martial arts performance, unlike the weak and feeble routines from other places!"

"Of course, the Chen family has real skills. This 'Little Jade Smash' took down a gang of thieves with just two sword strikes."

"It's still the Throat-Sealing and Groin-Striking Sword. The key is that it killed the person without being sharpened. If it were sharpened, the thief would really be killed in one strike."

"..."

Xiaoyu continued her fierce attacks, relentlessly striking Chen Dalong and Chen Jun with her sword, forcing them to retreat steadily. The two coordinated perfectly, leaving no trace of their attacks.

Finally, Xiaoyu kicked the two of them away in succession, sending them tumbling to the ground.

At the same time, Xiaoyu finally rushed towards the two poles. Then she suddenly jumped and landed on one of the poles, then used the momentum to jump up again and landed on the other pole.

The height of that jump was astonishing; most people couldn't jump that high, not even a young man who was a sports enthusiast might be able to do it with all his might.

The key is that she was very fast, and she reached the third protruding position in no time.

Chen Han understood—parkour!

This move is similar to the wall-pushing move commonly seen in parkour.

Many people have seen parkour practitioners jumping back and forth between two walls to reach the next level.

My junior sister is using the same principle, only she's lighter and faster than the average parkour enthusiast, and her movements are higher. In no time at all, she's reached the top of the two bars using parkour, then stands there with her sword in hand—truly a heroic and spirited female warrior!

However, what he sees as parkour, how do the tourists see it?

"'Little Yuza' can actually do light-body skills? Isn't that even better than parkour?"

"His lightness skill is even better than that of Master Chen from Wudang!"

"She knows kung fu, and can also slit throats and groin with a sword. Isn't she a female knight-errant from a novel?"

"..."

After the performance ended, applause erupted from all around.

Xiaoyu didn't go backstage, but instead took the microphone and bowed to the tourists: "Thank you all for liking my performance, thank you."

"And the next program should be something you all enjoy. As you all know, the Chen family has three masters who like to wear white vests. Next, these three masters will perform for you!"

As she finished speaking, Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng, dressed in their signature white vests, walked onto the stage, followed by Chen Dalong, Chen Jun, and some members of the Demon Exorcism Hall.

These people usually train with Chen Dagou and are also given some body-strengthening pills by Xiaoyu. In addition, they are all strong and have a history of doing manual labor, so they are all like martial arts masters.

As soon as Chen Lin and his two companions came up, they led the people of the Chen Clan's Demon Control Hall in performing a set of "Taiyi Long Fist". This time, the group's fist techniques were executed very neatly and with great momentum.

This time, it's not like the last time when the three of them fought separately, creating chaos and requiring reporters to fill in the gaps. This time, the three of them have varying strengths, hence the different speeds.

After all, it makes sense that those who are stronger can act faster.

This statement has also received a lot of agreement and support online.

Now it's neat and tidy, unlike before. Many tourists were puzzled for a moment, and then started helping to fix things up:

"This time they fought very neatly, unlike last time. So, the experts can strike faster and combine strength and flexibility, controlling their attacks with ease."

"Yes, before we were unprepared and went all out, so naturally the stronger ones attacked faster. Now that we're prepared, we can hold back our strength."

"Indeed, the three members of the Chen family clearly held back for the sake of others, but they still had a very imposing presence."

"Looking at the other members of the Chen family, they fight with more momentum than many martial arts practitioners..."

"..."

So, what's that saying?
Once a person achieves success and fame, great scholars will naturally defend him. In fact, in modern society, it is the general public who should defend him.

Of course, the premise is that you are famous and have convincing strength. Coincidentally, Chen Lin and the other two are recognized as masters by netizens, and their battle record can be verified.

If someone were to say that the three of them were also frauds, then someone would soon invite them to challenge the Chen family.

After Chen Lin and his two companions finished their boxing match with the people from the Demon Exorcism Hall, they stopped and bowed to the surrounding tourists to thank them for watching.

This drew enthusiastic applause from the tourists. In China, everyone has a passion for martial arts and is particularly fond of such martial arts performances.

Chen Lin and his two companions were also very excited upon seeing this.

After all, they knew what the Chen family was like before, but now the Chen family was so lively.

In the past, this was fame.

It would be a very happy thing if everyone could recognize it.

At this moment, Chen Lin took the microphone from Xiao Yu and continued to speak to everyone: "I just performed the Taoist Taiyi Long Fist for you, but that was just a demonstration. Next, we'll show you one of our signature moves: breaking a boulder on our chest."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding tourists.

The phrase "breaking a boulder on one's chest" is very familiar; it can be seen in various movies and television shows, and even many modern acrobatic performers can perform this.

Many people have also deciphered the secret: those acrobatic performers who break large stones on their chests use specially made stones, and the performers wear special protective gear.

But if a master of the Chen family is to perform the act of breaking a boulder on his chest, it can't be like this. It should be a solid, hard-hitting display of true kung fu.

In the short time that followed, the people from the Demon Exorcism Hall brought up a special chair and a prepared stone.

At this moment, Chen Dagou also lay down on the chair, and Chen Lin and Chen Shuisheng moved the stones onto Chen Dagou's chest.

Holding the microphone, Chen Lin addressed the surrounding tourists, saying, "To verify the quality of this stone, I would like to invite a few tourists to come and test it. Ideally, they should be strong and physically robust, so that no one will say that our Chen family uses special stones in our performances."

As soon as he finished speaking, people immediately raised their hands; each of them had an incredibly imposing physique.

These people were also selected by Chen Lin to go on stage.

Chen Lin then said with a smile, "Everyone here is in very good shape and looks very strong. Now, please clench your fists and smash this stone hard to see how sturdy it is."

These words stunned the people who came up.

Smash it with your fist?
One person asked in confusion, "Isn't it a hammer?"

Chen Lin laughed and said, "Our Chen family can break rocks with our chests, and our fists are more than enough!"

These words instantly surprised all the tourists.

To break a large stone on one's chest, all they ever knew was to use a hammer.

What Chen means now is that breaking a boulder with one's chest is something one can do with their fists?
Yes, all those movies and TV shows we watched before were just made up by directors and screenwriters. They didn't know anything about martial arts. As for those stories about breaking rocks on the chest, that's just because they're really bad at it.

If you're strong enough, who says you can't break a boulder with your fists and chest, and you have to use a hammer?

The tourists who went on stage were no longer hesitant; some had already clenched their fists, eager to try.

Finally, the first person got close and slammed his fist down on the stone slab with great force, causing even the person himself to gasp in surprise.

But Chen Dagou didn't feel anything, and the stone slab didn't feel right either.

The man's punch felt like a massage to the stone slab.

Seeing this, a second person stepped forward and punched down hard, just like massaging a stone slab. Then one by one, they tried it, and it was the same for everyone.

This also proves that the stone slab is made of genuine material; at least these burly tourists, who look quite strong, have no way to deal with it.

Seeing that all the tourists had tried it, Chen Lin took the microphone and said with a smile, "Everyone has tried it, which proves that there is no problem with the stone slab."

As he spoke, he turned sideways, raised his fist, and smashed it down on the stone slab.

boom! ~
The stone slab rang out with a muffled sound and shattered instantly.

This scene stunned everyone; it happened so fast they didn't even have time to react.

Moreover, the punch delivered by this Chen family's head of the workshop was truly shocking.

The tourists who went on stage were completely dumbfounded.

They had tested it themselves and knew the quality of the stone. How could it shatter under the opponent's fist like that?

Chen Han watched his uncle's performance backstage and couldn't help but smile. His uncle had really put on a good show.

Chen Dagou also pushed aside the broken stone slabs on his body, stood up, patted the dust and rubble off his chest, and was completely unharmed.

After that, another stone slab was brought up from below, and he lay down again. After all, what good is a tourist's view if it's just a slab?

Chen Lin then said to the tourists who had come up to try the experiment, "Gentlemen, please try it again."

The tourists were stunned. "Again?"
I was being silly and punched him with all my might; my hand hurts now.

But since we're already up here...

Chen Lin and the other two performed the act of breaking a large stone on their chests three times in a row before stopping. They then bowed deeply to the audience before heading backstage.

The performance left the audience wanting more, and everyone was even more excited for the next show.

After all, the next thing to do is for the Chen family head to perform his cloud-covering magic.

Xiaoyu then walked smilingly to the center of the stage and said to the surrounding tourists, "It seems everyone is looking forward to the next performance. Very well, next up is my senior brother, the head of the Chen family, performing the Cloud Barrier Technique..."

As Xiaoyu finished speaking, everyone stared at the backstage area, their eyes filled with anticipation, eager to see Patriarch Chen emerge.

But what the Chen family head didn't see was that everyone was suddenly astonished to see a layer of smoke appear instantly, covering the backstage exit.

Then a melodious flute tune began to play.
