I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 237 shows absolutely no trace of a master!
The Chen family has been generating a lot of buzz online these past two days.

At least it has made more and more people aware of the Chen family, and because of the announcements in places like Wudang, the Chen family's status in Taoism has also been significantly elevated.

In a high school classroom, a history teacher was teaching about the Three Kingdoms period: "The Three Kingdoms period was essentially the result of a power struggle between the emperor and powerful clans. These clans had been established for a long time and had accumulated a lot of land and people..."

"Therefore, we are fortunate to live in the new era. There are no longer those thousand-year-old families that prey on people without spitting out the bones. Even the thousand-year-old families that are still around today, such as the Pei family, the Yan family, and the Dai family, are just a surname that has been passed down. In a real sense, they have no connection with the aristocratic families."

One student asked, "Teacher, what about the Chen family from Shangyuan Village in Linhe County?"

The history teacher was clearly taken aback when he heard this, obviously having also seen Chen's video, and could only say, "This question is unrelated to the content of this lesson."

The fact that the Chen family has become a family with a thousand-year history is not only of interest to those who see the video, but is of utmost concern to the members of the Chen family themselves.

After all, the deep-rooted heritage gives the Chen family an indescribable sense of honor.

For example, Chen clan guides or members of the clan can proudly tell tourists, "Our Chen clan has a history of over 1000 years!"

People are proud of this rich heritage.

Naturally, the Chen family also became busy as a new day began, especially Chen Lin's workshop.

Since so many Taoist masters from various sects were coming, a venue for their discussions and receptions had to be arranged. The location was chosen to be a side hall of the main hall of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable.

In order to maintain a high standard, Chen Lin dared not slack off in the slightest.

Xiaoyu was also very busy because Taoist masters from all over the world were coming to the Chen family to discuss Taoism, and the online buzz was extremely high. She had to handle the online matters.

There are also some questions that need to be answered. The topic is so popular and attracts attention from many aspects, so it's necessary to politely reply to some of them.

The most important thing is to coordinate with the county.

The county government took over the responsibility of entertaining the Taoist priests, and they need to hand over some of the items to the county government.

After entrusting the relevant matters to his uncle and junior sister, Chen Han prepared the medicinal food and water and then went to the weapon-refining furnace again.

Because the special marriage stone has been refined.

Today, the furnace is being guarded by an elder of the clan, who is also an elder of the workshop. He was one of the two or three people in the workshop back then.

Now that the Chen family has grown, there are more people in the workshop, and the other party has even become a manager. They are no longer allowed to do the heavy work themselves, but usually supervise others to do the work.

There was no other way today; the workshop was very busy, so Chen Lin sent him over to watch the stove.

"Master of the family." The old man was extremely respectful when he saw Chen Han arrive.

The older generation has a deeper sense of belonging to the family, and after witnessing the extraordinary, their loyalty to the family is much stronger than that of the younger generation.

"Uncle Awang, you've worked hard. You can turn off the fire here now. You don't need to watch it anymore," Chen Han said with a smile.

"Then I'll help the head of the household put out the fire." Awang said with a smile as he fiddled with the stove.

As an old man in the countryside, he has worked all his life, and even though he is not young, he is still very efficient.

Most importantly, he also wanted to show off in front of the family, since he usually did easy work and could earn a basic salary of more than 5000 at the workshop.

The son and daughter-in-law can earn a combined basic salary of over 12500 yuan.

Although her grandson is only a senior in college, she has already spoken to Chen Xiaoyan and arranged for him to come back to Chen's for an internship.

Therefore, he genuinely wanted to show enthusiasm in front of the Lord.

Chen Han knew what the old man was thinking, so he didn't refuse. Instead, he picked up his phone and started taking pictures of the furnace: "After three years of continuous refining day and night, the special marriage stone has been successfully refined. Now the experts in the workshop are extinguishing the Samadhi True Fire in the refining furnace. Soon we will see the true face of the special marriage stone."

Afterwards, the furnace was completely opened, revealing the special marriage stone inside. In the video taken by Chen Han, you can see that the marriage stone appeared, and it was completely different from when it was put in.

A translucent luster appeared on it, and mysterious runes had appeared on the marriage stone. These were the marriage stone runes representing purity, which had been affected by the evil influences caused by worldly marriages.

The recording stopped, and Chen Han stepped forward to take the marriage stone out of the refining furnace.

Upon seeing this, Awang instinctively cried out, "Master, be careful..."

He knew the furnace had been burning for three days, which meant the stone inside had also been burning for three days. If he reached out and touched it now, wouldn't it be cooked instantly?
Then, watching the patriarch simply lift the stone out with his bare hands, he was dumbfounded: "???"

What the hell!

Is the head of the family that powerful?
Terrified, he even subconsciously reached into the furnace to test it, then gasped in shock. Before he even touched the red-hot bricks, a large blister had already formed on his hand.

It hurts.

When he turned to look at his patriarch, he was shocked to find that the other party had already left, but the meter-high stone was gone.

This……

He clearly saw the head of the family take out the stone, so how did it disappear in the blink of an eye?
Only after the patriarch's figure disappeared did he hurriedly take out his phone and send a message in the family's WeChat group: "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. Just now I saw the patriarch carry out a stone that had been burning for three days with his bare hands. He didn't even feel the heat at all. Moreover, in the blink of an eye, a stone more than 1 meter tall disappeared. I wonder what that stone was used for."

This topic immediately attracted the attention of all the clansmen, and those who had free time spoke up.

"Uncle Awang, do you have a video?"

"Yes, did you take a picture?"

"I was so shocked, I didn't even think about filming!" Ah Wang exclaimed.
"What a pity, but it's not surprising. The patriarch knows ancient techniques; he might be more powerful than we imagined!"

"Our Chen family has a history of thousands of years, so it's not surprising that we know some things, right?"

"That's right, we have an ancestor!"

"I wonder when I'll meet that elusive ancestor."

"..."

After chatting for a long time in the Chen family group, everyone finally became curious about where the stone went and what it was.

Until one of the clansmen said in the group chat: "That stone is the Marriage Stone, in the Marriage Hall of the Moon God. That thing may be related to the Moon God. Now the clan leader is leading people to set up the Marriage Stone!"

These words surprised many members of the tribe.

Their belief in the existence of the Moon God was as unwavering as their belief in the existence of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

Previously, the "red thread" theory about husbands was questioned by most people online, especially after many people who didn't have a red thread pretended to have one at the scene and then turned against it. As a result, even fewer people believed in the "red thread" theory about husbands.

However, some members of the Chen clan actually saw the red thread, confirming this.

Coupled with the many mysterious events they had experienced and their knowledge of feng shui formations, everyone became even more steadfast.

After all, some of the things they come into contact with are things that outsiders can't access.

Moreover, if the Chen family truly didn't possess any extraordinary abilities, why would people from those Taoist sects be so eager to come to them, as if trying to curry favor with the Chen family?

Isn't it just because the Ancient Tranquility Technique is powerful?
However, upon hearing this news, those who had free time flocked to the Marriage Hall to check on the situation.

Ah Wang was just like that. Although he was old, he moved as fast as the wind and soon arrived at the Marriage Hall. Sure enough, he saw the head of the family leading people around the Marriage Stone.

A base had obviously been prepared at the bottom of the marriage stone, and Chen Lin had now led his men to place the marriage stone on the base.

There were also three temple attendants preparing for the ceremony. Although there was no special ceremony for erecting the marriage stone, and normally the Yuegong Temple would not specially erect a marriage stone more than 1 meter tall, but rather connect it with the statue of the god, since it was going to be erected, there was no harm in doing a ceremony.

Therefore, the three palace guards will be in charge of this matter.

Soon, the marriage stone was erected.

Seeing that more and more clansmen were gathering around, Chen Han quickly took out his phone and started filming the marriage stone: "The marriage stone, made from Gengjin meteorite, has been placed in the Marriage Hall of the Moon God and has received his blessing. Now, as long as you are a couple who are truly in love and have no faults between you, as long as you wear red and come to the Moon God's Hall to pray for blessings, you can trigger the Moon God's blessing and receive unexpected rewards."

He didn't directly say that it would trigger the red line, nor did he say that he would see a scene of growing old together. Instead, he used the phrase "unexpected gains".

Consider those as a surprise. As long as someone actually does it and triggers it, they will definitely be pleasantly surprised.

The Chen family was not surprised that Chen Han was shooting abstract videos.

Many people were curious about what the head of the family said. They knew better than outsiders that what the head of the family said sometimes might have a bit of truth in it.

Chen Han had already returned to his own courtyard and started editing the video footage he had shot, beginning with the discovery of a Gengjin meteorite that he had filmed three days ago.

……

Linhe County.

A video of a popular Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple appearing at a train station caused a sensation.

The online buzz surrounding the Chen family's "Ancient Tranquility Manual" and the numerous Taoist priests who wish to visit the Chen family has naturally drawn attention from many people in Linhe County.

Now a popular Taoist priest has arrived here, and it's no surprise that he's here for the Chen family's "Ancient Tranquility Technique," which has drawn the attention of many people in Linhe County.

After leaving Wudang, Master Chen flew to Qingming City, which took half a day. From there, he took a high-speed train to Linhe County.

Many people think that Taoist priests don't travel by plane or high-speed train, but that's a misconception.

In modern society, the lives of most Taoist priests have become integrated into daily life.

As a convenient form of public transportation, high-speed trains are often used by Taoist priests for medium- and long-distance travel, especially when they need to travel efficiently between different regions (such as between temples, for religious activities, or for personal matters).

After all, sometimes you have to go to very far places, and it's impossible to set off six months in advance like in ancient times. You can't ride a horse, and now you can't ride a horse either.

Their spiritual practice emphasizes following one's heart, not abusing oneself; they are not fools.

Master Chen boarded the high-speed train and quickly found his seat.

His appearance in his Taoist robe naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Moreover, someone had already noticed him and was taking pictures of him with their phone: "Master Chen, are you going to the Chen family in Linhe County?"

Master Chen, being a very easygoing person, replied with a smile, "Yes, I'll go to the Chen family to learn the 'Ancient Tranquility Technique'."

This has attracted even more attention; the "Ancient Tranquility Techniques" are currently extremely popular online.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Master Chen, could you recite the Ancient Tranquility Mantra for us?"

Because of its popularity online, people who saw the video also know that reciting Chen's "Ancient Tranquility Mantra" has special effects, so everyone is looking forward to it.

Even the train staff looked over curiously.

Faced with this question, Master Chen could only smile and say, "Everyone, reciting the Ancient Tranquility Mantra requires a relatively quiet environment, which is not suitable here. Even if you recite the Ancient Tranquility Mantra, it will not be effective."

They have already tested it, and the Ancient Tranquility Technique is only effective in Wudang. Outside of those few places, it has no effect at all.

The passengers in the carriage didn't make a fuss, partly because they knew it was impolite, and partly because so many people were filming, and they didn't want to appear impolite.

Qingming City and Youcheng are quite close, and the train arrived at the station in no time. Many people got off the train, and some people in other carriages recognized him and started taking pictures with their mobile phones.

Some people even tried to surround him.

He naturally didn't think it was because he had become so famous; it was simply because the "Ancient Tranquility Technique" was so popular online.

That's understandable. When has the Taoist school ever produced something like the "Ancient Tranquility Manual"?
Fortunately, the Linhe County authorities arranged for someone to receive him, who took him to a special passage, then put him in a special car and drove him directly to the county town.

To his surprise, the car took him into a well-developed old town area, to a spacious old building.

A large banner hangs on the eaves of the building, which reads: Reception Center for the Grand Exchange Meeting of the Chen Family's "Ancient Tranquility Secrets" Taoist School.

Master Chen had to admit that the leaders of Linhe County were really clever; once the banner was hung up, it was no wonder that a dense crowd of people were filming videos all around.

It's likely that the video of them arriving in this ancient city area will spread very quickly, allowing Linhe County to leverage the popularity of the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra" for publicity in this ancient city area.

However, since they came to the Chen family for advice, they needed arrangements made by the people here. Since they accepted the hospitality from Linhe County, their actions were normal and understandable.

After entering, Master Chen discovered that there were already quite a few other Taoist priests inside. As popular online Taoist priests, they often posted videos online to promote Taoist doctrines, so they naturally knew each other and had interacted with one another.

He really had to admit, these people arrived incredibly quickly.

However, considering the miraculous power of the Ancient Mindfulness Mantra, it's no wonder these people are anxious, just as they are eager to know why reciting the Ancient Mindfulness Mantra in specific places is effective.

Clearly, all the Taoist priests in the hall were looking at him, and the emotions in their eyes showed that they had been waiting for his arrival.

He understood; they wanted to find out about the "Ancient Tranquility Manual"!

Sure enough, a group of Taoist priests stood up, and some of them who knew him had already given him a Taoist salute: "Taoist Priest Chen, you've arrived too. I've heard that your Wudang sect has already mastered the 'Ancient Tranquility Mantra.' Could you please give us some pointers?"

“Master Xuan, we will be visiting the Chen family tomorrow, and that will be the time to exchange ideas on the Ancient Tranquility Mantra. We Wudang people don’t know much about this Ancient Tranquility Mantra.” Master Chen returned the greeting with a Taoist salute, and then, without giving anyone else a chance, he looked at the waiter who came up and said with a smile, “Take me to rest, I’m a little tired from the journey.”

"This way, Master Chen!" The waiter immediately led the way, handing a card to the Master Chen as they walked.

When the county handed over the information to these Taoist priests, their identity information had already been prepared. Since these Taoist priests are all celebrities, there was no need to fill out the information again.

Master Chen followed the waiter away, but he didn't forget to look back at Master Xuan and the others. Seeing their anxious and annoyed expressions, he couldn't help but smile.

This further annoyed the Taoist priests, who couldn't help but swear.

"That old man!"

"You old scoundrel!"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

"..."

This left the waiters nearby completely bewildered. Just moments ago, these Taoist priests had acted like wise men, but how did they suddenly become...?

But thinking about it, there seem to be quite a few Taoist priests like that in movies and TV shows. So they really are like that.

Just as Master Chen had predicted, the video of them arriving at the reception area was quickly uploaded online, and it immediately gained popularity.

Aside from the ancient city of Linhe County receiving attention, everyone knew that they had arrived in Linhe County and were about to go to the Chen family to exchange ideas on the "Ancient Tranquility Techniques".

Therefore, many Taoist believers, or people who wanted to join in the fun, flocked to Linhe County.

Suddenly, the entire Linhe County became lively.

　Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
