I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 245 Tailor-made! Feng Shui for Cultivators?

(Regarding the claim that portraying Taoist priests as so noble makes their mission completion seem unrealistic, I'll just say a few words. First, Taoism is a native and authentic religion, and everyone hopes for its positive aspects. Second, from the protagonist's perspective, there's no need to write scenes where these Taoist priests act like disgusting villains and get their revenge. Third, it shouldn't be written this way anyway. If you understand, thank you; if not, I won't explain further and won't change it!)

……

Chen Han quickly led Wu San, Wu Yan and their group to the main hall of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.

With such a commotion outside, Auntie and the hall attendants of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Hall naturally noticed and came out. Upon seeing Chen Han, they all greeted him in unison: "Patriarch!"

Chen Han explained to his aunt, "Aunt, this Mr. Wu has come to the Chen family to fulfill a vow. Could you lead a ceremony? Oh, and the Taoist priests will also be participating. Thank you for your help."

"Yes, Master." The aunt nodded and instructed the palace attendant to explain the situation to the tourists in the main hall. She herself went forward to give instructions to Wu San and the others.

As for the Taoist priests, they are all familiar with this kind of thing, so we just need to arrange appropriate positions for them.

Wu San naturally cooperated fully.

A vow-fulfilling ceremony was quickly held in the main hall.

The aunt arranged the positions for Master Chen and his group as a ceremonial guard. In reality, it was just about following the positions; it wasn't a grand ceremony, but more like a group to make up the numbers and create an atmosphere.

More and more tourists gathered outside the main hall, taking photos with their phones. Knowing that the ceremony was a charitable act by the Chen family, many tourists posted about it online.

This is a story worth sharing.

Finally, as Wu San handed the thank-you note to Chen Shi, it signified that Chen Shi had completed the vow-fulfilling ceremony for Wu San, and that Chen Shi had accepted the gratitude.

In this way, Wu San's wish was fulfilled.

As Wu San led Wu Yan and his girlfriend in bowing in prayer, Chen Han said to them, "Gentlemen, you should do more good deeds in the future, and remember the saying that there are gods watching over you!"

As he spoke, he activated the Yin-Yang Refining Bracelet, removing the skill effects from the two of them, so they were able to return to normal quickly.

After the ceremony, the five sacrificial animals were dealt with.

In ancient times, people who offered sacrifices would leave some of the items at the Taoist temple and take some back with them. For them, the five sacrificial animals that had undergone the ceremony were considered to be blessed and were very special.

Naturally, when encountering a generous person, most of the blessings will be given to other believers, nearby villagers, or passersby, so that they can share these blessings and accumulate blessings for themselves.

However, such things are rare in modern society. After all, there are fewer people who make such a big show of fulfilling their vows. Only middle-aged and elderly people in small places understand these things, while people in cities basically don't.

There were no rules about how to handle these five sacrificial animals.

Therefore, everything is arbitrary.

This is in line with the times in modern society.

However, one of the hall attendants of the Chen family still inquired about Wu San, the person in charge.

Wu San hurriedly said, "There's not much family at home, and I don't know what to do with these things if I take them back. I'll share some with the villagers who came to help, and the rest will be given to the tourists to enjoy, so we can all share in the blessings of the Heavenly Venerable!"

Chen, the temple attendant, nodded: "Then let's share the blessings with the tourists who come here, according to the believers' wishes. Since everyone has come here by chance, let everyone receive a share of good fortune!"

Wu San naturally had no objections.

Afterwards, the Chen family made arrangements, having their people bring over several tables, as well as cutting boards, kitchen knives, and a lot of disposable chopsticks and other items.

The two pigs and the other five sacrificial animals were also moved to those tables.

The news spread quickly among the Chen family tourists.

The onlookers erupted in surprise and murmurs.

"There was an unexpected surprise."

“In the past, my father would occasionally bring back some offerings when he went to the Taoist temple, saying that eating them would bring good fortune. Now I roughly know what that means.”

"I have to say, watching this is a lucky thing, and eating something afterwards would definitely be a blessing."

"..."

"Everyone, please line up and don't crowd." The Chen family members also began to organize the tourists, as chaos was not a good thing.

As the Chen family distributed the five sacrificial animals to share their blessings with the tourists, the internet became abuzz with the news.

After all, the grand spectacle of the clouds and the popularity of the Taoist master's discourse on immortals' banquet were still going strong.

Therefore, the story of the Wu family fulfilling their vow attracted attention as soon as it was posted online, especially as more and more videos were posted by tourists, and the story of the Wu family fulfilling their vow became more and more complete.

The story of a high school student who went astray, drifted aimlessly through society, and even went to prison twice, being educated and reformed by the head of the Chen family, and the student's father being grateful and fulfilling his vow, becomes vivid.

This kind of story is something everyone enjoys, so it quickly became a hot topic.

Qingmin City First Hospital.

After finishing his work, Zheng Ruikai went to the hospital to visit his father. After receiving blessings from the Chen family last time, his father's arteriosclerosis was cured. After returning to the hospital to confirm the results, surgery was arranged immediately.

The postoperative recovery is going very well now.

He was now somewhat annoyed, wondering why he hadn't thought of seeking blessings from the Chen family to cure his arteriosclerosis. Why hadn't he sought blessings from the Chen family to cure his father's other ailments as well?

However, this was just something he was thinking.

The Chen family tree is not a wishing tree, nor is the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable. It is already a great stroke of luck that it can help you pray for arteriosclerosis, which even good medicine cannot cure.

Demanding too much only makes one appear greedy and annoying to others, or even to God.

This isn't a good thing, but anyway, my father is recovering very well now.

When he arrived, he saw Grandpa Zheng engrossed in scrolling through his phone and asked curiously, "Dad, what are you looking at?"

"Watch the news video about the Chen family." Grandpa Zheng said to his son, looking surprised, "Look, it's not normal for the Chen family to have such unusual fog in broad daylight during this season."

Zheng Ruikai was also surprised when he watched the video. He knew about that grove of magnolia trees; he had seen it before.

The fog over that grove of magnolia trees is definitely not normal. In the south, there's no season or time when this kind of fog could appear.

The key point is that the end of that cloud of mist still connects to the Great Hall of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.

However, when Zheng Ruikai put his phone down to search, he saw a video of a Taoist priest's feast, in which the priests were surrounded by clouds and mist, creating an astonishing scene.

He couldn't help but say to Grandpa Zheng, "Dad, you see what the internet says. It says that these clouds and mist were created by those Taoist priests and the Chen family head discussing Taoism. This should be true, after all, you have seen the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable."

Old Master Zheng really wanted to roll his eyes at him.

When did he ever see the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable?
He only sensed it at the time.

He just couldn't be bothered to argue with his son.

Moreover, having experienced the blessing of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, he fully believed that the Chen family head and these Taoist priests had created those clouds and mists through their discussions.

Although it's quite mystical, his arteriosclerosis was something that modern science couldn't cure, but it was cured by two acts of mystical blessing.

At that moment, the father and son came across another video about the Chen family, which was a video of a group of people beating gongs and drums and sending off five kinds of sacrificial animals to the Chen family.

The video was clearly filmed by a tourist, who also explained the reason for the event: "You've probably never seen such a lively scene of fulfilling a vow before, right? The reason is that an elderly father came to thank the head of the Chen family."

"This old father's son rebelled in high school, hung out with gangsters, and was disliked by everyone. He did many wrong things and even went to jail twice for them. Even after he came out, he still didn't learn to be good."

"In this situation, the old father was completely helpless until this bastard son met the Chen family head one day and was taught a lesson by the Chen family head. As for how he was taught, you can use your imagination!"

"So, from then on, this bastard son reformed and turned over a new leaf. This really aligns with the Taoist principle of guiding people towards goodness, which is why the old father made a special trip to fulfill his vow."

"It can be said that this is absolutely the most romantic event in the inheritance of our national culture."

"Guiding people towards goodness!" Old Master Zheng murmured to himself, deeply moved. "The Chen family is truly remarkable. Ruikai, once I'm discharged in a couple of days, make arrangements for me as soon as possible. I want to recuperate at the Chen family's place!" "Dad, don't worry, I'll arrange it," Chen Ruikai replied immediately. He knew best how powerful the Chen family was and had long wanted to emulate Chairman Liu Ye by frequently working at the Chen family's offices to cultivate a closer relationship.

This wasn't because my father hadn't been discharged from the hospital yet, which kept things delayed.

However, the arrangements made by my elder brother should be implemented soon, and it shouldn't be difficult to establish a relationship with the Chen family.

The government provides tourism subsidies every year. Local governments hope that tourists from all over the world will come to their cities to increase their tourism economy.

For a country, tourism is an important way to boost economic development. At the same time, it hopes to attract foreign tourists, increase the economy, export culture, and enhance its international reputation and status.

Therefore, a large tourism fund is allocated every year to support tourism, with Qingmin City receiving a significant portion of that fund. As for how it is distributed, that depends on the specific circumstances.

His brother had already mentioned that Linhe County's tourism development was doing well and deserved key support, and naturally someone knew what to do about it.

And since this support reached Linhe County, there were naturally no fools there.

In a society where interpersonal relationships are so important, no one is ignorant of them.

The video of the Wu family fulfilling their vow went viral online, attracting more and more viewers, especially those fans who follow the Chen family.

Huang Tao and his companions naturally noticed this as well. Seeing Wu San kneel down directly before the Chen family head, they were deeply moved.

"Patriarch Chen is truly a master!"

"Yes, I've seen this kind of thing on TV a lot, but this is the first time I've seen it in real life."

"Look, this sorcerer has released a new video."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tao and his companions instinctively looked over and saw the sound of horns coming from the video: "Whether it's the matter of sealing the demon, or those masters discussing the Dao... perhaps it's all just to attract outside attention... the real purpose may be hidden... I think there should be something in the back mountain that Patriarch Chen needs, and these are the things that Patriarch Chen truly needs..."

If a blogger or similar commentator said this, very few people would believe it, since it's just an abstract video.

But the key point is that this was said by the horn.

Many people know about the horn. This guy initially made a big joke because the lion-headed goose bit his testicles. He was a joke at first.

However, as Chen Jiazhu's identity as a demonic sorcerer became more and more deeply ingrained in the audience's minds through the abstract video storyline, many people realized that this whistle was no ordinary thing.

Putting aside the fact that he repeatedly hit the mark with the Chen family head's intentions, his actions of sending those fellow members of the demonic path into prison time and time again are astonishing.

Those criminals are real, and some have already been sentenced.

This is a verifiable record.

If they're now releasing videos claiming that the Chen family head has ulterior motives, it's highly likely to be true.

Immediately, many people started discussing this issue in the comments section of the horn, wondering if the horn's prediction would come true again.

……

As the offerings were distributed, all the sacrificial animals that Wu San had prepared were also given to the tourists. Wu San and the people he brought naturally took some back with them.

When they left the Chen family, the group had smiles on their faces. These things must have become different after the Chen family's ritual.

Now everyone in Linhe County knows that the Chen family is no ordinary family.

Wu Yan and his girlfriend breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. His girlfriend had been wearing a mask the whole time and was feeling stuffy, so she took it off after getting in the car.

Wu Yan stared at her, stunned, because she had fully recovered. She realized what was happening, and subconsciously touched her face, unable to suppress her smile.

Suddenly, she thought of something, reached out her hand towards Wu Yan, and then her eyes widened with surprise and joy.

Wu Yan was also beaming with joy, and the two even embraced each other, tears streaming down their faces.

It's finally done.

Only they themselves know how agonizing that period was.

However, the lingering fear in my heart is even deeper. The punishment can come and go as it pleases. Do you dare not believe that there are gods watching over you?
...

After completing Wu San's vow-fulfilling ceremony, Chen Han also invited the Taoist priests back to the side hall where they discussed and exchanged ideas.

Originally, I was thinking of using this to continue my discourse and find an opportunity to subdue these people, but now that the mission is complete, there is no need for it.

Therefore, the reason for the "Ancient Tranquility Manual" has already been explained to these Taoist priests, and they really don't know what they want to discuss.

As he headed towards the side hall, he glanced at the notes on two items in the game inventory:

[Spring-Activating Stone: This is a stone imbued with special spiritual power. It is a valuable item obtained by experts from the Shu Mountain Immortal Sect from the polar ley lines. By using the knowledge of Feng Shui Spring-Finding Techniques recorded in the Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone and utilizing the geographical terrain to find a spring, one can use the Spring-Activating Stone to activate the spring and obtain a spiritual spring with the following attributes: Sweetness +1, Stamina Recovery +1, and Refreshing +2.]

The notes on Dianquanshi surprised Chen Han.

Everyone knows that spring water is sweet and has the effect of restoring physical strength. Drinking a sip of spring water after climbing a mountain is truly refreshing.

So, does this mean that as long as you find a mountain spring in a specific geographical location, you can use that spring and rock to transform it into a sacred spring?

This is another somewhat fantastical thing. Although the sweetness and stamina recovery are only +1, you can clearly feel the difference after drinking it, especially since it has a refreshing +2 attribute.

What would happen if someone who's climbed halfway up the mountain drank from this sacred spring? They'd be incredibly happy.

So, wasn't this tailor-made for future development of the back mountain? After all, if a mountain tourism project is developed, tourists will inevitably have to climb the mountain.

In the future, just to taste this sacred spring, tourists will probably all want to go up the mountain to take photos.

However, to use this thing, one still needs to rely on the feng shui knowledge recorded on the feng shui spirit stone.

This is why the task rewards two items consecutively; they were originally a set.

Of course, what surprised him was that in the world of Shushan Swordsman, a group of cultivators actually talked about feng shui.

However, considering that cultivators sometimes need to utilize the terrain to set up formations, it doesn't seem so strange.

But after reading the notes on the Feng Shui Spirit Stone, his brows furrowed:

[Feng Shui Spiritual Record Stone: This is a special Feng Shui Spiritual Record Stone, containing profound Feng Shui knowledge. It can even help cultivators arrange formations based on geographical features... Data error...]

The current record of Feng Shui knowledge contains errors and does not correspond to the geographical terrain. Please collect and supplement the relevant geographical terrain data and Feng Shui knowledge supplementary data...

"???" Chen Han clearly felt a sense of familiarity. After all, the game system was supposed to take him through time, but it failed in the end, and the game system data became a bit strange.

What does this mean? The prize has arrived, but the information inside doesn't match the real world, or it doesn't correspond to anything?
Previously, cultivation techniques were not like this; they could be used directly for cultivation.

However, upon reflection, he expressed his understanding: any cultivation technique can be practiced if it has spiritual energy, and even medicine can be refined if it has a formula.

However, things like geography, topography, and feng shui are unique to each world. Every world has its own unique geography and climate, or at least there are definitely differences.

Perhaps in the world of Shushan Swordsmen, there isn't even the Yangtze or Yellow River, but a world that is infinitely larger than reality.

Otherwise, the geographical terrain and climate are different, so the feng shui knowledge you use will always be different. What you mean now is to supplement this feng shui knowledge.
But how could he possibly know anything about feng shui?
So, how do we supplement this?

Chen Han was immediately troubled. He had thought of a solution, but he didn't know if it would work. He greeted Master Chen and the others and headed to his courtyard.

Whether it works or not, we should try it first. What if it works?
As he watched him leave, Master Chen frowned slightly, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. This was because the Wudang sect leader had led a group to study the feng shui of the treasures and wanted to try to repair the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak.

However, whether those feng shui classics were missing records or truly lost, the sect leader and his group couldn't understand them at all, let alone repair the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak.

Therefore, the sect leader asked him to test the waters and see if the Chen family had any inherited feng shui skills, whether they could teach them, or if it was possible to ask them to help repair the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak.

That was truly a painful memory for Wudang.
