Chapter 236 Chen Clan's Discussion on the Dao of the World? Conditions for Use?
Longhu Mountain.

The Celestial Master and several other sorcerers felt awkward.

Originally, no one knew the answer. There was no problem with them issuing that announcement. Everyone knew that it was because Chen hadn't taught everything completely, and no one really thought anyone was stupid.

Now that someone has suddenly learned it, those who consider themselves dull-witted will truly be seen as dull-witted by others.

Just like people online say, if you still can't learn from Chen's teachings, you might as well hang yourself.

But how did Wudang learn it?

What exactly is missing?
Not only Longhu Mountain, but people in other Taoist places were also confused after seeing it. They were in a good mood and didn't care about the previous announcement. After all, it was posted before and then deleted. Everyone knew what their mentality was. It only made them a laughing stock.

Some people with strong self-esteem and a bad attitude have already secretly deleted the announcement.

Only the Wudang sect leader and his fellow disciples, including Master Chen, were filled with excitement, because they had learned the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra" and truly experienced a special feeling after reciting it.

After posting the announcement, Master Chen couldn't help but say, "I never expected the Ancient Tranquility Mantra to be so miraculous. It is indeed suitable for us Taoist practitioners to calm our minds and achieve tranquility."

"Yes, the feeling of entering that special state is indeed magical," another senior brother said with a smile.

One of the senior disciples joked, "It seems that only we Wudang have learned this 'Ancient Tranquility Mantra,' and other places, including the people of Longhu Mountain, have not been able to learn it either."

Upon hearing this, Master Chen suddenly said, "Sect Leader, Senior Brother, I have some guesses about this. This 'Ancient Tranquility Mantra' is probably not so easy to learn, and there may even be conditions for its use."

"According to what is said online, the effect of reciting the Ancient Tranquility Mantra is definitely not as good as that of the Chen family, and may even be much worse."

"Moreover, the other parts of the Taoist sect did not learn it, but only our Wudang sect did. There must be a reason for this."

These words made the sect leader and the other senior brothers nod in agreement.

Many people online have described their experience with Chen's "Ancient Meditation Formula" as being more effective than reciting it themselves.

However, they were unaware of the specifics of Chen's recitation of the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra".

One of my senior brothers said, "Actually, as long as it works, it doesn't have to be as effective as the Chen family's. After all, only a minority of tourists go to the Chen family's place, while many more come to ours. As for other Taoist sects not being able to learn it, wouldn't that just highlight Wudang's strengths?"

The others nodded in agreement with these words.

Master Chen understood that as long as it was effective and could be felt by tourists, those tourists would say it was very effective, even exaggerating the effects, just for the experience and their own satisfaction.

This is similar to the "Emperor's New Clothes" mentality. Many people say that the emperor's clothes are very beautiful, but even if others see the emperor naked, they are afraid of being thought to be stupid and dare not say that the emperor is not wearing clothes.

The scammer's phrase, "Only smart people can see this," is a top-tier psychological tactic.

The difference is that the emperor really had no clothes on, while the Wudang people really learned the "Ancient Tranquility Technique" and it really worked.

The sect leader then instructed, "Now that we have learned the Ancient Tranquility Mantra, we might as well go and see which places in Wudang can be used as fixed places to recite the Tranquility Mantra. Wudang is very large, so we need to find several places and open them regularly."

This was approved by Master Chen and his group.

The Chen family is not large, so two fixed-point recitations of the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra" a day at the martial arts training ground are sufficient, while Wudang is quite large.

As for their original chanting hall, there were regulations governing the recitation of specific Taoist scriptures, which could not be changed arbitrarily.

So the group began to explore various parts of Wudang Mountain.

As time went by, they selected several places where the surroundings were clear and the effect was quite good after reciting the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra". They planned to have a few people recite the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra" when tourists passed by, and they were sure to be pleasantly surprised.

Finally, the group headed to a place where the Golden Summit was located.

To be honest, the Golden Summit is Wudang's eternal pain. For more than 500 years, the legend of the Golden Summit being forged by thunder and fire has been passed down and has always been Wudang's calling card.

Therefore, many poets have written poems specifically about this.

The poem lines such as "The Hall of Refining Gold by Thunder and Fire for a Hundred Years", "The roof is made of gold cast by thunder and fire", and "He died when he was refined by thunder and fire", are well-known and have been famous for hundreds of years.

Whenever lightning strikes, that place is illuminated by dazzling golden light, a magnificent sight that has even attracted emperors to come and witness it.

That kind of situation hasn't happened for a long time now.

The cause was naturally that some cultural relic protection experts insisted on making a big deal out of nothing and came to Wudang to carry out cultural relic protection and rectification.

During that particular period, the situation was somewhat sensitive, and they dared not voice any objections; they could only cooperate.

Otherwise, even a few words from those experts could cause them trouble.

Therefore, those experts insisted on installing lightning rods on the Golden Summit for rectification. Moreover, even though rectification had already been carried out, it seems that a new person in charge was brought in, and now they want to install lightning protection nets on the Golden Summit.

This time, the lightning strikes were too powerful, and the lightning protection failed to protect the buildings around the Golden Summit. Even some of the lifelike rocks were smashed to pieces. After that, the legend of the Golden Summit being forged by lightning and fire completely disappeared.

The golden roof will never again be like it used to be, where the rising sun would bathe the golden cauldron in golden light. Now, even if the damaged buildings are repaired, the area where the golden cauldron stands is covered in rust.

The most tragic thing is that, despite destroying the ancient Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain, this incident has become a significant part of the experts' records of merit.

They successfully completed the investigation, research, and rectification of the lightning protection issues at the Golden Summit, and established the magnificent feat of creating the lightning rod protection network at the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain.

Even their students wrote articles praising their contribution.

But it was a damn great feat.

Honestly, at that time, those of them from Wudang felt like they were born at the wrong time.

otherwise……

Similarly, they were also annoyed by their own incompetence and lack of ability, having no idea that the spectacular sight of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak was created in this way.

When Master Chen and the sect leader arrived at the Golden Summit, looking at the rusty scene, he could only rely on his imagination to conjure up the legendary scene of the Golden Summit being forged by thunder and fire.

The sect leader looked at the rusty appearance and felt helpless. He could only instruct people to sit down cross-legged and recite the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra".

The sound of chanting rang out again.

This time, however, Master Chen and his group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Because the "Ancient Tranquility Technique," which had been effective before, had no effect at all here at the Golden Summit.

This puzzled them.

"How could this be?"

Why did it suddenly stop working?

"It was working before."

"..."

They couldn't believe it, so they immediately went down to try it elsewhere, and soon discovered that the "Ancient Tranquility Technique" was effective again.

"What's going on?" Master Chen asked, puzzled.

The others were also puzzled.

The sect leader immediately ordered, "Try it throughout the entire Wudang region and see how it goes."

Soon, the group began experimenting throughout Wudang Mountain, and in the end, they made some unexpected discoveries.

They found that the buildings below the mountainside of Wudang Mountain were largely ineffective, but those above were effective.

Below the mountainside are more modern buildings or places that have been renovated and built according to requirements, while above are more historical sites. The restoration is done very carefully, and no construction has been carried out. The layout of the site has not been changed.

You can do it in any of these places.

They began to wonder if it was related to these things.

If it's just the foot of the mountain or the top, it might not be enough to be considered conclusive evidence, but the area near the Golden Summit is also unacceptable, which is sufficient proof. The sect leader finally concluded: "This should be the reason. As for the specifics, only the Chen family probably knows. It seems we need to send someone over there to collect the sperm."

Ultimately, Wudang made this decision.

As for who would visit the Chen family, it would naturally be Master Chen, since in ancient times, various sects would send out their disciples to travel the world.

Besides spreading the sect's doctrines, these wandering monks also do things to punish evil and promote the sect's reputation.

In this internet age, what Master Chen is doing is no different from what the wandering monks used to do.

Now that we have the internet, we can spread many things from Wudang to people all over the country. Without the internet, Master Chen would have to carry his sword down the mountain.

After making their decision, Wudang naturally released a video announcement through Master Chen's media account: "Wudang is very grateful to Master Chen for passing on the Ancient Tranquility Manual, which makes up for the debt of gratitude for the inheritance of Taoism. Wudang will visit Master Chen with the respect due to a teacher to repay this kindness of teaching."

The fact that Wudang had actually learned the "Ancient Tranquility Technique" caused a sensation among everyone, and even Chen Han's side found it unbelievable.

He only found out when someone tagged him and he clicked on the link to check.

He had naturally seen before that other parts of the Taoist sect were considered dull-witted and unable to learn the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra".

This was not surprising to him, since the "Ancient Tranquility Technique" was something from the game system and required the influence of the magnetic field of a feng shui formation to work.

Even if those Taoist sects possessed the complete content of the "Ancient Tranquility Manual," it would be of no use.

To his surprise, someone actually learned it. Wudang is really something else. He guessed that Wudang might have a natural feng shui formation, and the magnetic field could just match the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra".

If that's the case, then it's quite possible.

That just shows how incredibly lucky Wudang was. I wonder what kind of effect they'll get after learning the Ancient Tranquility Technique.

As Chen Han was pondering this, Xiao Yu rushed up to him and asked, "Senior brother, look online, the Wudang sect has learned the 'Ancient Tranquility Technique,' and they're sending someone over to express their gratitude as a teacher. Should we respond?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Han took out his phone and went online to check. Sure enough, he saw the announcement posted by Master Chen from Wudang.

That shows them a great deal of respect.

Moreover, he was also very curious about how Wudang learned it, so he instructed his junior sister: "Junior sister, please reply to Wudang on behalf of the Chen family. The Chen family welcomes them to come and exchange ideas on the Ancient Tranquility Technique."

Xiaoyu nodded, and after receiving her senior brother's instructions, she immediately returned to her own courtyard to begin processing the reply. Because this reply was somewhat formal, she specially wore a plain Taoist robe to reply.

Xiaoyu's reply immediately caused a sensation online, given how popular the "Ancient Tranquility Technique" is online right now.

Now that Wudang has learned it, and they want to exchange ideas with the Chen family, it naturally attracts attention, especially from the Taoist community.

On Longhu Mountain, after the Celestial Master learned that Wudang had mastered the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra," he and several other monks kept staring at the big tree where he had previously said he would find a rope to hang himself.

They weren't actually planning to hang themselves, but rather reflecting on their own behavior. They were reflecting on how they shouldn't have spoken so confidently, and how they shouldn't have assumed that others couldn't teach them properly just because they couldn't learn it, without considering that they themselves might be genuinely slow-witted.

Now look what's happened! Everyone knows they were the ones who were foolish. It's embarrassing. So, let them reflect under this tree for a few days.

"How did Wudang learn that?" a mage asked, frowning.

Another monk was also puzzled: "Our notes were clearly correct. Could it be that the old man from Baiyun Temple said that Wudang and the Chen family worship the same deity? Zhenwu the Great is the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable."

These words made the others frown even deeper. If that were the case, wouldn't that be quite awkward?

The key point is that this topic has been discussed extensively in many Taoist exchange groups, and many people even agree with this view.

Many places that worship the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable and the True Martial Emperor have hurriedly begun to study them again.

As the group was reflecting and discussing, a disciple rushed over to report: "Master, Master, it's important! The Wudang people are going to visit the Chen family, and the Chen family has responded, welcoming them to exchange ideas on the Ancient Tranquility Mantra."

The Celestial Master and the other sorcerers were taken aback.

Wudang had only just learned the technique, yet they had already gotten involved with the Chen family?
Isn't the speed a bit too fast?
Without hesitation, the Celestial Master hurriedly said, "Quickly, announce it before anyone else does, saying that we also want to attend the grand event and hear the Chen family's teachings on the Ancient Tranquility Mantra!"

Instead of wasting my time pondering here, wouldn't it be more useful to send someone to listen to the discussion between two successful people?
Of course, it would seem abrupt and presumptuous to go there rashly, so they gave it a grand occasion and humbly added a word of advice, emphasizing the need to lower one's stance.

The person who reported said awkwardly, "Master, many places have already issued announcements saying that they want to go to the grand event and listen to Master Chen's teachings on the Ancient Tranquility Manual."

"What a bunch of old foxes." The Celestial Master was speechless, but even so, he still had to send people and issue a notice.

The simultaneous release of announcements by these Taoist sects caused a complete sensation online.

After all, the last time the Taoist sect was this lively was in a novel, right?

For a moment, it gave people the feeling that they wanted to discuss the Dao with the world.

Unconsciously, everyone suddenly realized that the Chen family's status in the Taoist sect seemed to have been elevated to the extreme in an instant.

Linhe County.

Chu Ping has been paying close attention to Ms. Liao's investment in planting at Kaiwei Group for the past two days. Her investment could create a lot of jobs, so he has to keep an eye on it personally. He has paid less attention to the Chen family.

He had just finished processing the relevant documents when Chen Kai rushed in: "Chu County, big news, big news! All the Taoist sects from various places want to come and visit the Chen family."

"??" Chu Ping asked, puzzled.

"Quickly watch Douyin's video," Chen Kai reminded him.

Chu Ping didn't hesitate. He opened it and immediately understood what was going on. He naturally knew about the "Ancient Tranquility Technique" and its effects.

He just didn't expect that the "Ancient Tranquility Manual" would have such a great influence. Just like what people on the internet are saying, it's like a discussion about the Dao in the world.

He gave the order almost without hesitation: "Quickly, make the arrangements and issue a notice that we will arrange accommodation and meals for these Taoist priests coming to Linhe County, and send special vehicles to escort them to and from the Chen family. We will take care of everything."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't this like a pie falling from the sky?
He knew what this grand Taoist event represented. It not only enhanced the dissemination of local culture and improved soft power, but also promoted the development and promotion of tourism, thereby driving economic cooperation and development. In addition, it increased exchanges and openness, increased social cohesion, and a series of other benefits that were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Back then, the city wanted to invite Longhu Mountain to hold a grand Taoist gathering to seek development, but even when the city's highest leader went there, the Taoist master ignored him.

Later, another city came to Wudang Mountain seeking cooperation, and then a grand Wudang Taiji Conference and International Daoist Forum were held, which were a great success.

As for how successful it will be?
This grand event promoted local tea ceremony, Tai Chi, and local specialties, and attracted countless tourists, boosting the development of the tourism industry.

Many wealthy businessmen attended the event, resulting in numerous business collaborations and generating a wealth of business opportunities. It is said that the business collaborations generated by that event were equivalent to the total of the previous two years.

Most importantly, the participation of local residents in related activities enhanced their sense of identity and pride.

Because of this, the city leaders went to Longhu Mountain three more times to request permission before the city finally agreed to hold a grand event.

Now, Linhe County is really getting a windfall.

The reason why the Chen family's incident happened so suddenly is that they didn't have time to publicize it and couldn't get the maximum benefit, but increasing their influence is definitely possible.

The key is that there are many Taoist believers, and such a grand event will likely attract a huge influx of people, as well as those who believe in Taoism and have connections with Taoism.

He could imagine that all kinds of accommodations and restaurants in Linhe County would be fully booked by then.

Linhe County issued an announcement as quickly as possible, and also tagged those Taoist sects.

On the Wudang side, Master Chen naturally received the news immediately. He, along with the sect leader and several senior brothers, were considering what gift to send to the Chen family in gratitude.

Since we should express our gratitude to the teacher with the proper respect, the gift we give cannot be too casual.

When Master Chen received the news, he naturally told the sect leader and his fellow disciples about the announcement from Linhe County.

The sect leader smiled and said, "The leaders of Linhe County are quite clever. However, it's also their fault. If they haven't learned it, they haven't learned it. Why do they have to come and join in the fun with us who have?"

These words made everyone laugh. Although they were Taoists, they understood many things clearly.

However, they became increasingly curious about the Ancient Tranquility Manual and wanted to know what caused this situation.
