I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 289 Master Chen: I don't understand how to set it up at all!

Master Chen's gaze was immediately fixed on the Five Emperors Sword. Watching the Chen family head take it out and use it was a completely different experience from watching an abstract video.

This defies common sense, which is why the Taoist priests were so confused and critical after seeing the video of the Chen family head.

But now, seeing the Five Emperors Sword in the hands of the Chen family head, and that he was about to set up a feng shui formation, he couldn't help but think twice.

"Master Chen." Chen Han greeted Master Chen with a smile.

"Master Chen," Master Chen replied with a smile.

Seeing that the Chen family head had started directing the Chen family members again, Master Chen couldn't resist his curiosity and secretly took out his phone to take a picture of the Five Emperors Sword in the Chen family head's hand and sent it to the Wudang high-level group.

Today, Master Qingwei was naturally preparing for the Wudang Taoist Exchange Conference, which was the name he had noted to the association.

After all, the association's secretary-general will review it. As an official, you have to give a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, you can't just say it's a discussion about the feng shui formation of the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Peak.

I wonder if having this reviewed will cause unnecessary trouble. I'm afraid that the experts' disciples and followers will find out and offer their opinions.

Even if they disagree, these experts will probably still try to use official connections.

Anyway, coming here will only bring trouble.

After contacting the people at the association, Master Qingwei was studying the Wudang map again when he saw his other fellow disciples arrive. He asked in surprise, "Why are you all here?"

A Taoist priest reminded him: "Master, look at the photos and messages posted by the junior disciples in the group."

Master Qingwei took out his phone and saw a photo of the Chen family head holding the Five Emperors Sword, which immediately attracted his attention.

He had seen the video before. At first, he wasn't too bothered by the red thread, but when he saw that the red thread was woven into a modern coin, he became a little unsettled.

This contradicts previous knowledge.

Therefore, like everyone else, he thought it was an abstract video, since the Chen family head always made this kind of video.

Seeing that Patriarch Chen was using the Five Emperors Sword, and that Junior Brother Chen had said that the other party might use the Five Emperors Sword to set up a feng shui formation, made him think deeply.

"Sect Leader, do you think there might be something special about the Five Emperors Sword that Patriarch Chen uses?" a Taoist priest couldn't help but ask.

Master Qingwei nodded: "Let's look through some books related to the Five Emperors Sword and study them."

The other Taoist priests all thought it made a lot of sense.

In their Taoist sect, the current head of the Chen family is definitely an authoritative figure, especially in feng shui. The entire Taoist sect is now studying the two feng shui books he wrote.

Some Taoist priests even hired university students majoring in geography and meteorology to tutor them in order to gain a deeper understanding.

Therefore, they naturally had to investigate any moves this Taoist priest Chen made.

There are many descriptions of the Five Emperors Coins in Taoism, and different books have different interpretations.

For example, some say it's related to the five elements, some say it's related to imperial authority, and some say it's related to popularity.

In any case, both sides have their own reasons.

One widely known fact is that the Five Emperors Sword can subdue evil spirits, which is why many Taoists used to make the Five Emperors Sword.

As Qingwei studied the situation and followed Master Chen's actions, he suddenly frowned, lost in thought.

According to the Five Elements theory, red thread and copper coins belong to the "slight fire refining gold" pattern. What about red thread and modern coins?

Are coins made of metal now?
Is it the same as refining gold over a low flame?
The saying about the popularity of the Five Emperors' Coins refers to the fact that during the reigns of emperors, the population was very large, so the coins of that dynasty circulated widely and absorbed a lot of "popularity".

But think about it, the largest population in ancient times was only a little over 4 million.

Now, it's 14 billion.

In terms of popularity, it wins hands down.

As Master Qingwei pondered this point, his thoughts became increasingly clear. What about the imperial authority theory?
It is said that ancient emperors were regarded as Sons of Heaven, possessing supreme power, and their authority could suppress evil forces. The Five Emperor Coins, as the currency circulating during the reign of these emperors, carried this authority.

This statement seems to carry a strong suspicion of flattery.

That's quite normal. Many authors in ancient times wrote books to flatter, especially those in power.

The Taoist tradition has been passed down for so long, with so many people throughout the dynasties, and there have been quite a few Taoist masters who served the emperors.

Previously, Master Qingwei had no thoughts on this, but now he feels that the title "Son of Heaven" seems somewhat inappropriate, and that there should not have been such a thing as "Son of Heaven" in the beginning.

Therefore, the loss of Taoist classics and the errors in their interpretations are also due to these sycophantic Taoist masters.

No matter how good a book is at flattery, its bias is still skewed, let alone the content itself.

Once Master Qingwei understood this, he knew that the "imperial authority" he was referring to must be something else entirely, perhaps related to the emperor, or something else entirely...

Fortune, the fortune of the dynasty!
“That’s right…” Master Qingwei exclaimed excitedly, as if he had just attained enlightenment.

There is an ancient saying that all evil spirits cannot enter the imperial city. The imperial city is the most central place of the entire country and the place with the strongest fortune.

If this is the case, then modern coins will absolutely surpass any time in ancient times; the strength of modern Chinese fortune is unparalleled.

"Master, what have you discovered?" a Taoist priest asked instinctively.

Master Qingwei then explained, "The most important thing in making the Five Emperors Sword is the combination of popularity and fortune."

"As for popularity, modern coins are definitely the highest, and as for luck and such, do I need to say anything? It has been the strongest since ancient times."

"Therefore, the Five Emperors Sword made by Patriarch Chen may not be an abstract concept, but a Five Emperors Sword that is stronger than we know. Look, there are four other types of coins there, so perhaps it should be called the Five..."

Upon hearing this, the other Taoist priests all realized what was happening.

It seems...that's really the case...

Moreover, the logic seems very simple.

But why didn't they ever think about this issue before?

Or perhaps, they simply didn't think about it...

Master Qingwei sighed, "I am increasingly impressed by this Chen family head. Perhaps our Taoist sect will become weaker and weaker, and we will lose everything because of our adherence to old ways."

“We just read whatever our predecessors say and whatever books they write, and try to understand what they mean, without ever thinking for ourselves.”

"To become a great person in any era, one must be able to break free from conventional thinking and understand the meaning of things in a way that aligns with the new era."

After saying that, Qingwei muttered to himself, "Perhaps, the Daoist sect will soon produce another figure that is rare to see in hundreds of years."

Such a person will surely be recorded in Taoist scriptures and become the patriarch of a school.

Just like Zhang Tianshi, just like Zhang Sanfeng, just like Ziqing Daoren...

Master Chen also received notification of the results of the discussion among his fellow disciples very quickly, and he was just as surprised.

The headmaster also instructed him to keep an eye on the Chen family head's movements and report back as needed.

At this moment, he also saw that the Chen family had already lifted up one of the feng shui stones.

"Master Chen, please!" Chen Han invited Master Chen, and then left the courtyard.

Master Chen quickly followed and they walked outside together.

Chen Lin led the people from Chen's Craft Hall to lift the stone tablet and then went out.

Of the five elements positions in the "Gentle Breeze" feng shui formation diagram, two are near the Chen family, one is inside the Chen family, and two are on the mountain behind the Chen family.

When the five elements of the geographical terrain are in harmony, the entire Chen family, including its associated virtuous estates, will instantly have its 'Gentle Breeze' feng shui formation activated. The Chen family members were carrying a stone with engraved patterns as they walked out. Crucially, the Chen family head and the Taoist priest were walking together, which immediately attracted the attention of many tourists.

Tourists started taking pictures.

Both the head of the Chen family and Master Chen are internet celebrities, and they already have a lot of attention. So, making a video like this is bound to attract attention, especially since it's obvious that they're trying to do something.

Chen Han led his men directly to the first Five Elements position, marked the spot, and then instructed his uncle: "Uncle, just stand in this position and bury three-tenths of the earth."

Chen Lin nodded and instructed the workers to dig a pit and bury the feng shui stone inside.

Finally, apply a layer of cement to prevent people from disturbing it.

Although the power of the internet has led to higher levels of behavior among tourists in scenic areas due to external factors, and they are more cautious—nobody wants to embarrass themselves or their family by posting something online—this is still a form of protection in case someone is tempted to do something inappropriate.

If someone still tries to do this, then they are causing trouble. Putting aside the issues of toothache, hemorrhoids, and inability to stand up, they can directly control the situation and launch a counterattack.

That's no small matter.

Chen Han simply directed the adjustment of the position and then left it alone. However, Master Chen remembered this and felt that there was something to it, so he kept staring intently at the feng shui stone.

What puzzled him was that he watched the feng shui stone being buried, but nothing special happened. It was just like a simple stone tablet being erected.

Not only was Master Chen surprised, but the tourists who were filming were also astonished, thinking that something unusual was going to happen, but nothing happened at all.

Only Chen Han, through the new Five Emperors Sword in his hand, had some sense of the terrain and knew that the runes on the feng shui stone had already resonated with the surrounding terrain due to the essence of the sun and moon within the stone.

However, this kind of terrain is usually very stable and mild, and ordinary people cannot sense it at all unless the formation is fully formed.

He said to Master Chen again, "Master Chen, please!"

Master Chen nodded and followed him back to the Chen family. He felt somewhat frustrated. He didn't believe that burying the feng shui stone would have no effect, but he really couldn't detect anything.

After Chen Han and his group left, the tourists around them couldn't resist their curiosity and went up to observe the feng shui stone, some even reaching out to touch it.

After touching it for a long time, I still couldn't find any difference between the stones.

The only difference is the pattern carved on it.

If it were just this, it wouldn't be very interesting, and the tourists dispersed one after another; they had all come for the sea of ​​rapeseed flowers.

The rapeseed flower season is coming to an end, but since we're already here, we must take as many videos and photos as possible.

Chen Han brought Master Chen back to the Chen family compound, and soon after, he brought out a feng shui stone and buried it in a place near the Chen family compound.

The same tactic also attracted the attention of tourists.

Even though Master Chen watched it carefully, he still couldn't understand it. This time, he even filmed a video for the sect leader to use.

When Master Qingwei received the video, he also invited his fellow disciples to watch, but they were equally unaware of the situation.

The video clearly shows that it was the Chen family burying the feng shui stone, while Master Chen barely touched it. Is the feng shui formation so simple that all you have to do is bury it?

Perhaps it has something to do with the runes on it?

Master Qingwei felt that he should have Junior Brother Chen redraw the talismans on the feng shui stone.

When Master Chen received the message, he had already followed the head of the Chen family to the third location and erected the third feng shui stone.

Then they began to climb the mountain. This time, the Chen family head had his men carry both feng shui stones up the mountain together.

One of the feng shui stones is located halfway up the mountain, while the last one is naturally located at the top of the mountain.

The cliffside, under the big tree, is quite picturesque.

Because it was located next to a cliff, and the ground was mainly composed of rocks, burying this feng shui stone took more effort than the other four rocks.

Master Chen had clearly seen the process of burying each feng shui stone along the way, but he really couldn't see anything at all.

The task assigned by the headmaster is impossible to complete.

Finally, the Chen family buried the last feng shui stone.

Chen Lin came over and said, "Xiao Han, it's all better now."

"Okay!" Chen Han nodded.

With the Five Elements Stele erected, the remaining task is to use the new Five Emperors Sword to connect with the surrounding geography and fully activate the 'Gentle Breeze' feng shui formation.

At this moment, Master Chen finally couldn't help but ask a question: "Master Chen, I wonder if you could explain the feng shui formation you set up? Of course, I am just being stupid. I followed you to observe the five feng shui stones you set up, but I couldn't understand them at all."

Chen Han smiled and said, "That's certainly true. This feng shui formation is arranged by combining feng shui talismans and feng shui stones with the surrounding terrain and finding the five elements' directions."

“Geographical terrain is difficult for ordinary people to perceive, but it does exist and can be utilized through feng shui. Therefore, feng shui knowledge can help us find and distinguish geographical terrain.”

"Once the geographical terrain and the location for arranging the feng shui formation are found, feng shui stones will be used. Moreover, they must be of very high quality, such as the Wudang strange stones, which are excellent feng shui stones."

"These feng shui stones, combined with special feng shui talisman patterns, can communicate with the geographical terrain. Of course, the most important thing is the special Five Emperors Sword. In addition to warding off evil, the Five Emperors Sword is a sword that combines popularity and fortune. As long as it is strong enough, it can also communicate with the geographical terrain."

"The Five Emperors Sword is very difficult to forge; it should be considered something that is hard to come by."

That's true. His Five Emperors Sword was forged in a weapon-refining furnace. If others wanted to make the Five Emperors Sword, they wouldn't have a way to refine the fortune of the Five Emperors Coins into one without a weapon-refining furnace.

Unless someone can truly collect enough Five Emperor Coins that combine popularity and luck, and they are from the same dynasty, then their luck is the same and they are naturally integrated.

Perhaps it can become one with the Five Emperors Sword mentioned in the Taoist scriptures, and its energy will spontaneously generate.

However, this is just a record; whether it's true or not, who knows?

Master Chen was taken aback when he heard these words.

He already knew that the Chen family head's possession of the Five Emperors Sword was definitely related to setting up a feng shui formation; now he understood.

He knew that the next step would definitely be crucial in constructing a feng shui formation, right?

Therefore, as the Chen family head walked towards the feng shui stone, he also quickly picked up his phone and sent a video link to the sect leader.
They wanted the sect leader to observe the formation's construction process, hoping it might be helpful for the formation at Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak.

Master Qingwei and his fellow disciples are researching matters related to the Five Emperors Sword. After making a discovery, they also want to create a Five Emperors Sword.

Since the feng shui formation requires the use of the Five Emperors Sword, Wudang must have one if they want to repair the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak.

They only had a superficial understanding of feng shui and weren't as skilled as the Chen family head, but they could still learn by copying answers.

If you have the answer but don't copy it, and then claim you don't know it, then that's a matter of attitude.

Upon receiving Chen's video call, he naturally answered immediately and then saw the figures of the Chen family head and other members of the Chen clan in the video.

The head of the Chen family was walking towards a feng shui stone.

Master Chen gently reminded, "Senior Brother, the Chen family has set up the feng shui stone and is about to construct a feng shui formation."

Master Qingwei immediately understood, and he and his fellow disciples watched quietly without making a sound.

We must observe this carefully this time, as it might help them repair the feng shui formation of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak later.

Through the video, they could see that the Chen family head had already raised the Five Emperors Sword in front of the feng shui stone. At that moment, through the video, they seemed to discover that something had indeed appeared on the sword.

It looked like dense snowflakes, and before they could react, the entire phone screen turned into a snowflake pattern.

"???" Master Qingwei was completely stunned.

The same applies to other Taoist priests.

what's the situation?
