I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 255 The Divine Aspect of Patriarch Chen! This wind cannot reach him!

The night passed.

Chen Han was very happy that night.

This was the first time Xiao Mi had been with the Chen family for so long that he could be completely unrestrained for an entire night.

Thanks to my junior sister for going to the county to take care of Master Qingfeng's temple.

Therefore, he enjoyed it so much that when he woke up the next day, he and Xiao Mi missed the spiritual energy cleansing of the special spiritual cave.

Because they couldn't wait for him, the dogs and cows in the yard kept barking, as if urging him on.

They clearly had a fixed impression of the time it took for spiritual energy to wash over them.

He simply yelled at them, "Go by yourselves today."

They understood, left on their own, and stopped chirping to disturb him.

While the spiritual energy was washing over him, he was washing over Xiao Mi.

When everything calmed down, Xiao Mi glanced at the time, hurriedly got up, grabbed her clothes and put them on: "Xiao Yu said she would come back to change clothes in the morning, I have to hurry back."

After saying that, she was already dressed and went out.

Chen Han smiled and looked at the undergarment that Xiao Mi had left behind.

He picked it up and added it to his game inventory.

The game notification then sounded:

[Congratulations on collecting Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy Bellyband +1, completing the 'Bellis Maniac' title. Wearing this title grants the effect: Charm +2!]

Upon hearing the game notification, Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief; the task was finally completed.

Immediately afterwards, another game notification sounded:

[The title 'Bottom-wearing Maniac' has been discovered. Do you wish to equip the title?]

Without hesitation, he chose yes directly.

The next moment, the game notification sounded again:

[You are wearing the title 'Bellyband Maniac,' which activates the special attribute: Charm +2. Changing or removing the title will remove the effect!]

Chen Han wasn't surprised that titles could be changed or removed, since it was a game system and many games had title-wearing systems.

Does this mean that, besides the title 'Bellyband Maniac', there are other title quests that can be triggered?

However, what he cares about most right now is the +2 Charm attribute.

After donning the title of "Bellyband Maniac," he didn't feel any changes in his body, as if nothing had happened at all.

He walked straight into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He looked noticeably different in the mirror, not in appearance, but in his demeanor—an indescribable aura.

His already handsome face now possesses an even more captivating charm; even he himself finds it charismatic and eye-catching.

He tried to shed the title of "bellyband fanatic".

When the +2 Charm attribute disappears and returns to normal, that special aura also disappears.

He returned to his original state.

When worn again, that special, eye-catching charm reappears.

This title, "Dudou Maniac," seems to have a special filter, like something out of a cultivation novel.

Chen Han immediately thought of the attributes of the Ancestral Master's Robe: +2 to Elegance, +2 to Immortal Demeanor, and +2 to Aesthetics.

After quickly washing up and drying himself off, he immediately took out the Taoist robe from his game inventory.

This ancestral master's robe is not a regular Taoist robe; rather, it resembles the attire of the sect leader in a fantasy game.

The main color is purple, with star patterns on it, and the seven-star symbol is particularly prominent.

It seems that someone online previously said that Master Qingfeng was wearing a Qingfeng Taoist robe.

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

Or is it blatant plagiarism of the game system?
After all, this isn't the first time the game system has done something like this.

When he put on the ancestral master's robe and stood in front of the mirror, he was stunned by his own reflection. The change was as magical as the "Charm +2" attribute of the "bellyband maniac".

With the +2 attribute of transcendence, it's as if he's no longer a person of this mortal world.

His otherworldly demeanor plus 2 points made him seem like an immortal descending to earth.

The +2 to good looks seems like a bonus, and combined with his young and handsome face, as well as the +2 to charm attribute, he is probably the epitome of a gentleman as beautiful as jade, and a family head unparalleled in the world.

However, his wet hair wasn't quite right, so after coming out, he styled it by blow-drying it.

The Chen family had long since ceased to be registered in the Taoist community, so he was considered a senior member of the same generation. He also did not keep his hair long, opting instead for a casual short hairstyle.

In fact, many Taoist priests also keep their hair short. Taoism is not so rigid; it is quite casual.

Moreover, with the current trend, Master Qingfeng's rise to prominence gives him the air of having his own page in the Taoist family genealogy, so whether or not he keeps his hair long is now up to the Chen family.

...

After leaving Chen Han's room, Xiao Mi hurriedly returned to her own room and then smelled a strange odor on herself.

She naturally knew what that smell was like—so strong! She quickly took off her Hanfu and put it in the washing machine, pouring in a lightly scented detergent, not caring what would happen if she put the Hanfu in the washing machine.

As for the smell on her body, she quickly went into the bathroom to wash herself off and destroy the evidence.

After I finished showering, I heard a knock on the door and Xiaoyu calling out, "Xiao Mi, are you done? I'm attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the ancestral temple in the county today. Can you comb my hair?"

Xiao Mi was startled, but luckily she acted quickly enough to open the door while still wrapped in a bath towel.

"Sister Xiao Mi, why are you taking a shower so early in the morning?" Xiao Yu asked in confusion.

"I slept alone while you were away, and I had nightmares and broke out in a lot of sweat," Xiao Mi quickly explained, and half of what she said was true.

I did sweat a lot last night.

Hearing this, Xiaoyu realized her importance and entered the room with a smile: "Sister Xiaomi, now you know how important I am, right? What would you do without me?"

"Then I really don't know what to do." Xiao Mi smiled, giving Xiao Yu plenty of emotional support.

These words caused Xiaoyu's lips to curl up again, completely unable to suppress it.

Xiao Mi also started drying her hair, as she was going to join in the fun and attend the groundbreaking ceremony for Qingfeng Daoist Temple.

Because of the solemn occasion, she and Xiaoyu both had to wear plain Taoist robes and have their hair styled specially, so they would have to comb each other's hair.

Of course, you can comb it yourself, since that's what all the female Taoist priests did.

But what girl doesn't want to be pretty?

If your best friend helps you with your hair, it will definitely look even more refined.

Soon, the two girls dressed in simple clothes and with their hair styled neatly, and went out to the parking lot.

Today, the Qingfeng Taoist Temple broke ground, and the event will naturally take place at that site.

All the Taoist priests living in the Chen family's residence were going to attend, as were many other members of the Chen family, including Auntie, several temple attendants, Chen Dagou, and some people from the Demon Exorcism Hall.

In addition, there were some clansmen who were called by their aunts to participate in the ceremony.

Because of the large number of people, the county will send two buses today specifically for transportation.

When Xiaoyu and Xiaomi arrived, Chen Dagou, Chen Lin, and the rest of the Chen family were already there.

The Taoist priests also arrived one after another.

Master Chen and the others had gathered together and were chatting. They were becoming increasingly surprised by Master Qingfeng.

If the spiritual spring on the back mountain of the Chen family confirmed the existence of Master Qingfeng and that he was an ancestor of the Chen family, then the increasing number of stories about Master Qingfeng being exposed online truly astonished them.

They keep popping up one after another.

Moreover, many of them were not even from the same dynasty.

They instinctively felt that the timing was wrong.

Then they realized that they were thinking like modern people. If Master Qingfeng was real and could really discuss Taoism with Master Ziqing, then he was a god.

Are immortals limited by lifespan just like mortals?

It's not strange that they live a long life, is it?

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.

The gathering of these people naturally attracted the attention of many tourists, and some even guessed that it was for the groundbreaking ceremony of Qingfeng Daozhang Temple.

Some tourists who wanted to join in the fun had already called taxis.

When Xiaoyu arrived at the meeting point, she looked around and asked Chen Dagou, "Uncle Dagou, hasn't Senior Brother arrived yet?"

She had barely uttered these words when a commotion suddenly arose from the direction of the Chen family's main gate, with even a girl's exclamation:

"So handsome!"

"is it him?"

"It's him!"

There were also male swear words:
"Holy crap, is this necessary?"

"Are you trying to kill us?"

Damn it...

Xiaoyu and Xiaomi looked over instinctively, and then froze instantly. Chen Han, dressed in a purple Taoist robe and impeccably groomed, walked towards the meeting place.

But is this still him?
Xiao Mi stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. Chen Han, dressed in a Taoist robe, exuded such elegance and charm that she couldn't take her eyes off him.

She had never seen Chen Han like this before. He seemed like a completely different person from the one who had carried her legs and held her hands last night.

"Xiao Mi, did you see that? It's Senior Brother! He looks so handsome today, I love him!" Xiao Yu excitedly grabbed Xiao Mi's arm, her face full of excitement.

Xiao Mi looked at her infatuated expression and sighed silently in his heart.

This is tricky. Xiaoyu looks like she wants to devour her senior brother alive.

The Chen family members were equally stunned; their patriarch...

Similarly, Master Chen and the others were also instantly drawn to the scene, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Wearing a purple robe is not allowed in Taoism; otherwise, it would be considered an overstepping of authority. However, considering that it belongs to Master Qingfeng, it seems that the Chen family can make an exception and wear a purple robe if they want.

After all, the Taoist sect now owes the Chen family a favor because of feng shui matters, and the key point is that the Chen family truly has something to pass down.

Most importantly, behind the Chen family is that old Taoist priest...

Of course, they weren't thinking about it much right now, because they were shocked, and also because the purple robe looked so fitting on the head of the Chen family.

Even the way the Chen family head walked seemed to subtly align with the true meaning of Taoism, causing the phrase "ethereal and otherworldly" to subconsciously surface in their minds.

This word is generally used to describe older, more senior figures.

But now, looking at Master Chen, the word immediately came to mind, and they felt it was very appropriate to use it on the head of the Chen family.

At this moment, the young patriarch was as ethereal as a banished immortal descending to earth.

They are all Taoist practitioners. It's really hard to imagine why someone could suddenly become so extraordinary. Is it because today is a special day?

Or was it because of the special occasion that this head of the Chen family was blessed by some great power?
The key point is that the seven-star symbol on this purple Taoist robe seems quite familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before.

Amid their confusion, Chen Han had already arrived. He glanced at his infatuated junior sister, the stunned Xiao Mi, and finally at the dumbfounded Taoist priests before smiling and saying, "Let's go, let's set off!"

Clearly, this Taoist robe worn by the founder of Taoism is very effective at making one look cool.

His appearance stunned everyone.

In the future, I can wear this ancestral Taoist robe to formal occasions, wear the title of "Dudou Maniac," and then show it off.

Normally it looks just like usual.

This can be divided into normal state and cultivation state.

If you really want to put it that way, you could say it's a dual state of humanity and divinity.

We are now in a divine state.

Those who cultivate the Tao pay attention to this, which adds to its charm.

Xiaoyu and Xiaomi only realized what was happening at this moment and got into the car.

Xiaoyu even pulled Xiaomi to sit next to her senior brother.

But her senior brother is so handsome now, her heart is beating so fast. Not wanting her senior brother to find out that she can't help but look at him like a lovesick girl, she deliberately has Xiao Mi keep her and her senior brother apart.

She thought she was a genius.

As everyone boarded the bus, the bus arranged by the county started its journey towards Linhe County.

The Chen family members all rode in one car, and on the way, they couldn't help but look in the direction of the family head.

With +2 to charm, +2 to otherworldly grace, +2 to ethereal beauty, and +2 to good looks, this combination is truly irresistible. This attraction applies not only to men but also to women, to outsiders and to one's own people.

Chen Han naturally felt this gaze, and he understood why those legendary Taoists could gain the trust of the people and the world.

If he wore this outfit to ancient times, even the emperor would probably think he was a master. If he used a few more tricks, what else could he be but an immortal?
The bus quickly entered the county and then the old town area.

Cars are not allowed in the old town area, but similarly, the old town area also has internal areas and transportation lines, which were prepared and reserved during the development.

Otherwise, how would they get all those daily necessities and goods into the old town?
The ruins of Qingfeng Taoist Temple are located in the south of the ancient city. A large parking lot has been built here, but it is not yet connected to the outside roads.

Once the Qingfeng Taoist Temple is completed, a road will connect it to the outside highway, allowing tourists to easily access the temple.

When the car arrived here, Chen Han activated the Cleansing Mantra attached to the Ancestral Master's Robe.

The next moment, he felt a special energy field gather and begin to swirl around him.

When the energy field was complete, he could clearly feel a cool sensation on his body, not the kind that comes from the air conditioning in a car, but a very comfortable feeling, similar to the special feeling of being in a feng shui room.

He knew this must be the effect of the Cleansing Clothes Mantra.

Even under the scorching sun, it should feel like it has its own built-in air conditioning.

He really wanted to verify it.

At this time of day, the sun was already quite warm. After getting off the bus, he walked into the sun and stood there, letting it bask in his warmth.

Normally, you should be able to feel the sun's temperature at this time.

But he still felt very cool.

That's really impressive.

After Chen's people got off the bus, they were summoned by their aunt and made arrangements.

It's obvious that many tourists have been attracted by the surrounding area; with such high online popularity, it's impossible for tourists not to come.

As these tourists were taking pictures, their attention soon fell on the outstanding Chen Han.

Then a gasp of surprise rang out:

"Is that Patriarch Chen? He's so handsome!"

"Yeah, he's even more handsome than those young heartthrobs!"

"I'm used to seeing Chen's abstract videos, I never expected him to be like this when he's serious."

"..."

Honestly, the tourists were all amazed. The current state of that Chen family head was probably unmatched by any male celebrity or young heartthrob in the entire domestic or international entertainment industry.

Chen Kai and Chu Ping also arrived. They were genuinely surprised when they saw Chen Han, as this was the first time they had ever seen the head of the Chen family in such a state.

The key is that once you see it, you feel completely captivated and can't take your eyes off it.

This……

With the arrival of the two, the ceremony officially began. However, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Taoist sect was not simply a matter of cutting a ribbon and laying a foundation.

That was the groundbreaking ceremony for a real estate project.

The groundbreaking ceremony for Taoist temples and monasteries involves many steps.

The first step is called "purifying the altar".

The aunt gathered the Chen family members and arranged them in special positions. Then, holding ritual implements, she began to chant scriptures with the Chen family's chanting masters and temple attendants, while sprinkling pure water to purify the area and dispel "unclean air".

Master Chen and the others were naturally attending the ceremony as Taoist priests, along with Chen Han, the head of the family, and Chen Dagou, an elder of the Chen clan.

This ceremony doesn't even require Chen Han, the head of the family, to participate.

Master Chen was also quite surprised by the ritual performed by the Chen family.

Very standard.

Especially the female Taoist priest, who was very familiar with the ritual and performed it with great skill and ease, something that would be difficult to achieve without more than 10 years of Taoist cultivation.

The Chen family truly has a profound history.

After Auntie led Chen through the first step, they began the second step: "inviting the gods."

At this time, the temples and shrines had not yet been built, so the statues of the gods could not come. This was a vain invitation, which meant burning incense and worshipping, reciting petitions to invite the relevant deities to descend, informing them that this was a temple or shrine being built for them, and praying for their protection so that the project could proceed smoothly.

The third step is to pacify the land and suppress evil spirits.

This involves burying grains or miscellaneous foods around the perimeter or at the foundation, or using a compass to determine the orientation, and using ritual objects to "suppress evil spirits" and avoid disturbing the earth's spirits during construction.

Otherwise, if the gods and the earth spirits clash, even a minor collision of magical powers could cause illness or disaster among the construction workers.

The fourth step is: to start construction on an auspicious occasion.

After the aunt presided over the ceremony, the commencement of construction was announced, the first shovel of earth was broken, and firecrackers were set off to symbolize the smooth start of the temple and to deter evil forces from all directions.

This step is usually carried out by the person in charge of the temple, but now it is naturally being carried out by Chen Han on the Chen side.

However, due to the characteristics of the times and the emphasis on distinctive features, it was necessary to invite Chu Ping, the person in charge of the county, to come along. So, the two stepped forward, and each of them was given a shovel. They then scooped the ground and put the soil into the position that their aunt had drawn.

Then came the closing ceremony.

Ritual documents and talismans should be burned.

The Taoist ceremony concludes here, and it's time for the Linhe County ceremony to begin, which inevitably involves a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Chen Han and Chu Ping, representing both sides, went on stage together to cut the ribbon and take a group photo.

During the group photo, Chu Ping felt a little awkward. With the current state of the Chen family head, he felt that he couldn't even be a supporting character.

If the photo gets out, he'll probably look terrible in it.

Therefore, he chose to end this step as quickly as possible, letting the people from the county take a group photo before parting ways with the head of the Chen family.

The people below naturally applauded in response, especially Master Chen and his group, as this wasn't their first time participating in a project in cooperation with the government.

They understand the principle of adapting to social customs very well.

During this season, the south is still windy, and the scorching sun and high temperatures sometimes feel like a heat wave.

When Chen Han came down, he returned to the place where the Taoist priests and members of the Chen family had gathered to watch the ceremony, just as a continuous gust of wind swept in.

This allowed him to raise his hand to feel it, and at the same time test the effect of the Cleansing Mantra carried by the ancestral master's robe.

Just like the effect of the note, the wind had no effect on him at all.

Yes, the wind was strong; it stirred up sand and dust as it blew, but not a single gust of wind touched him.

This made him even more aware of the power of the Pure Robe Mantra. What would happen if he wore this patriarch's robe in a place like the North or South Pole?
When Chen Han returned, the eyes of Master Chen and the others naturally turned to him, but one by one, these Taoist priests suddenly sensed that something was amiss.

It seems this wind doesn't reach the Chen family head.

"???" Master Chen.

"???" Master Xuan Shi.

"???" The other Taoist priests.
