Chapter 300: The Decree on Registering and Granting Robes! Finally, a breakthrough!

"Surprise?" Chen Han asked in surprise, "It seems that our Chen family has not been in contact with the association, and our Chen family is not even registered."

Master Chen said with a smile, "The association registered the Chen family separately. It was proposed by the president, Master Li, and the vice presidents, including our sect leader and the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master, all agreed."

"It's on a separate page now." Chen Han didn't expect to hear this kind of news as soon as the plane landed.

In other words, it doesn't matter which lineage the Chen family came from or whether they were registered in the family.

From then on, the Chen family became a distinct lineage, just like Wudang, Longhu Mountain, Ziyun Temple, and other similar places.

Almost at that moment, the game system appropriately displayed a notification:

Congratulations! You have received unexpected news on the eve of the Dao Discussion Conference held by the Immortal Alliance. Because of the Chen family's contributions to resisting the demonic path, all sects and factions of the Immortal Alliance will recognize the Chen family as their own lineage, and their status within the Immortal Alliance will be greatly enhanced.

However, a family can form its own lineage, and relying solely on merit is not enough to convince people. It needs to demonstrate sufficient strength to truly gain everyone's trust.

Please convince all factions at the Daoist debate conference held by the various factions of the Immortal Alliance!

Upon seeing this, Chen Han knew that the game system was referring to the Wudang Feng Shui Exchange Meeting.

The system is so obviously copied that it doesn't even realize how heavily it was copied.

Since it's a feng shui exchange meeting, with his feng shui skills, it shouldn't be difficult for him to convince those Taoist priests.

It's remarkable that for this mission, they helped Wudang repair the Feng Shui formation of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak.

Of course, if he couldn't fix that feng shui formation, no one else could either.

Master Chen, of course, had no idea what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Patriarch Chen, I haven't congratulated you yet. The Chen family's prodigy achieved such a good result in the National Games."

"It's all luck, nothing much to say." Chen Han's face was full of smiles. After all, it makes the head of the family happy to be praised for the success of his family members.

Master Chen had no answer to this.

Since Wudang has produced such a talent, they will definitely hold a grand Dharma assembly in his honor.

The Taoist priest driving was a very skilled driver; he even attempted a drift on one section of the road, only to be completely outmaneuvered by Master Chen before finally turning back to his normal driving style.

Chen Han smiled upon seeing this.

The Taoist priests are still in high spirits.

The car quickly arrived at the entrance to Wudang Mountain, but the entrance was not at the foot of the mountain. We needed to drive further in to reach the foot of the mountain, where there was a large parking lot.

Or rather, this isn't actually the real Wudang Mountain, but just the parking lot at the foot of the Wudang scenic area, which is the starting point open to tourists.

In this new era, under the tourism economy, it is natural for the local area to develop Wudang Mountain, a natural tourist destination.

However, this development requires Wudang's consent, as well as issues such as the distribution of profits from this merit-based industry.

The key issue is that many areas of Wudang are not open to the public. Therefore, in order to have enough projects, it is necessary to build new buildings and expand the territory.

Therefore, all kinds of buildings below the mountainside, including at the foot of the mountain, came about in this way.

Master Chen and Chen Han naturally could not park in the scenic area.

The feng shui exchange meeting is being held within the Wudang area.

In this new era, scenic areas have been developed, and cars can now drive directly up the mountain.

The internal areas and scenic areas of Wudang are closely related.

The scenic area starts at the foot of the mountain and can be divided into seven major scenic areas at the top: Taiji Lake, Xuanyue Gate, Taizipo, Nanyan Palace, Golden Summit, Wulong Palace, and Qiongtan.

As you ascend, most areas within Wudang Mountain connect to these scenic spots.

The Five Dragons Palace is completely closed to the public.

Wulong Palace is located deep in the back mountains of Wudang Mountain. It is the best-preserved ancient architectural complex in Wudang Mountain and the venue for this Feng Shui exchange meeting.

Other areas, including parts of Zixiao Palace, parts of Nanyan Palace, some floors of Wuyun Tower at Taizipo, the Kundao Academy of Zixiao Palace, and many ancient buildings on the mountaintop connected to Wulong Palace, are generally not open to the public.

However, part of it belongs to the scenic area, so they are closely connected.

Due to its feng shui layout, the famous scenic spot, Lianjin Peak, is no longer open to the public.

As Chen Han walked up the mountain, looking at the lush trees covering the mountain, he suddenly made a surprising discovery.

He saw three kinds of ancient trees standing in three directions: ginkgo, yellow pine, and elm.

The key is the location. According to the overall mountain terrain of Wudang, these three locations seem to correspond to the Seven Luminaries positions.

He had previously read about feng shui patterns such as "star positions, the energy of ancient trees, and the influence of the earth's veins" in the book "Elementary Feng Shui" by Feng Shui Linglu Shi.

Simply put, the combination of an ancient tree and a star in the feng shui orientation is definitely not simple.

In other words, these ancient trees may be related to the feng shui layout, but it depends on the situation, and Wudang doesn't know for sure.

A number of tourists gathered around an ancient tree to take photos.

With so many people entering the star position and causing such a shock, the feng shui pattern should have already reacted. In other words, even if it is a feng shui pattern, the pattern has already been broken.

This shows that Wudang was unaware of this, which also demonstrates that Wudang truly possesses profound cultural heritage.

Or perhaps the patriarch Zhang Sanfeng was indeed a remarkable figure, at least skilled in feng shui.

The car quickly stopped at a parking lot on the mountain. This area was still within the scenic area; further up was the actual inner area.

We need to walk from here.

When Chen Han and Xiao Mi got off the bus, they could still see tourists coming and going from the scenic area.

"Master Chen, Layman Xiao Mi, this way please." Master Chen invited the two to walk towards the stairs in the inner area, unaware that someone in a car in the parking lot was already pointing a camera at them.

A man with a crew cut exclaimed in surprise, "Is that the head of the Chen family?"

The assistant next to him nodded: "It is indeed him. Their Chen family's prodigy just broke records and won the championship in Hong Kong. Wasn't he in Hong Kong? Someone even filmed him in Hong Kong."

Zhang Ke touched his buzz cut and said, "Since yesterday, so many highly respected Taoist priests in purple robes have personally led people here. Even this Chen family head came all the way from Hong Kong. Just as I guessed, Wudang is making a big move."

He is a blogger who explains Taoist teachings. He also comes to Wudang Mountain to read Taoist scriptures and film videos related to Wudang Mountain.

Sometimes they also act as tour guides, bringing tourists to Wudang Mountain.

Therefore, he has a certain understanding of Taoism and Wudang.

I felt something was off when I saw the first Taoist priest in purple robes appear yesterday.

It should be noted that there are only about 20 purple-robed Taoist priests in the entire Taoist sect, and they are all the most respected Taoist priests in various Taoist holy sites.

Almost half of them have arrived now; it would be strange if this were normal.

The assistant next to him said, "Those Taoist priests have all gone inside Wudang Mountain. During this time, entry is prohibited, even for registered believers and lay Buddhists. We can't get in."

Zhang Ke quickly said, "There are always more solutions than problems. We can't just sit around in Wudang all year round."

...

The scenery inside Wudang Mountain is significantly more beautiful than the scenic area, possessing the grandeur of a famous mountain, and the air quality is also better than in the scenic area below.

As expected of a famous Taoist holy land, although the air quality is still much worse than that of the Chen family, the Chen family relies on the game system, while Wudang relies on itself.

Continuing upwards, Chen Han was brought into the Five Dragons Palace.

This place is closed to the public. Taoist priests from other parts of the Taoist community, as well as those who have already arrived in Wudang, have all been arranged to stay here.

Therefore, Chen Han will also be arranged to stay here.

As for Xiao Mi, she was taken by a female Taoist priest to live in the Kundao Palace.

The people living over there are all female Taoists.

When Chen Han followed Master Chen in, there were two or three other Taoist priests talking. When they saw him, they all looked at him.

Among them were acquaintances, such as Master Xuan, who immediately stepped forward to greet them: "Patriarch Chen, you've arrived too."

"Master Xuan, we meet again." Chen Han replied with a smile.

Then he greeted the other two Taoist priests.

"Everyone, I need to arrange accommodations for Patriarch Chen first," Master Chen reminded him, then led Chen Han into a building and arranged a private room with a large balcony.

Chen Han had just settled in when Master Chen received a phone call. The caller said, "Master Chen, Master Li, the president of the Taoist Association, has arrived. He brought your register, your purple robe, the decree, and your vice president certificate. He wants to see you today."

"Tomorrow, Master Li will confer your membership, along with a purple robe, a decree, and a vice president certificate. Our sect leader and the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master and other purple-robed Taoist priests will be the witnesses."

"Once you put on your purple robe, we can burn incense together and begin a feng shui exchange meeting. What do you think?"

Chen Han smiled and said, "Master Chen, since I'm here at Wudang, I'll naturally follow the host's lead. Since that Master Li wants to see me, then let's meet him!"

Although the Taoist Association does not have much binding power over the various parts of the Taoist community, and even the Taoist priests who hold positions in various places rarely visit the association.

Just like the leader of Wudang, who is one of the vice presidents, but doesn't care about the association's affairs at all.

However, matters such as registration and the issuance of purple robes are functions of the association in the new era.

Currently, only about 20 people are registered as Taoist priests in purple robes, and the Taoist sect and association acknowledge and register them.

As for why there were hundreds of people wearing purple robes on Douyin, it's because the Taoist sect is carefree and hasn't done anything to insult the sect, so the association doesn't bother with it.

Instead, some people meddled and posted about a highly respected old Taoist priest using his mobile phone online, and then they themselves became the clowns.

The laws and regulations are also an important symbol of the purple-robed Taoist priests in the new era.

Decrees are important ritual implements in Taoism. Only Taoist priests who have obtained the corresponding religious qualifications and 'powers' will be granted decrees to exercise the corresponding religious functions.

In ancient times, even Taoist priests in purple robes in many temples were not necessarily qualified to grant decrees. In modern times, there are not many Taoist priests in purple robes anymore, so decrees are granted uniformly.

Of course, modern laws are just one of the symbols of status, and are uniformly issued by the association, which is completely different from ancient laws.

In ancient legends, this decree would have a much greater effect, as it could only be bestowed by the deity worshipped. As for its function, it was probably closely related to the functions of the deity worshipped.

The power in religious qualifications and authority is not the power of secular status, but the power granted by the gods to use the functions and powers of others.

It refers to the power of God.

For example, the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder, the Universal Venerable, would bestow upon a Five Thunder Symbol Token, which is three inches long and two and a half inches wide, with a round top resembling the sky and a square bottom resembling the earth.

The front of the token is usually engraved with the four characters "Five Thunder Commands", the back has thunder command symbols, and the names of the Twenty-Eight Mansions are written around the four sides.

Taoist priests who possess this decree can command thunder and lightning, and exorcise evil spirits and demons.

For example, the Laozi token is round at the top and square at the bottom, symbolizing the ancient Chinese concept of a round heaven and a square earth. The front is decorated with a relief of Laozi sitting on a green ox, and the top of the back is engraved with the Three Stars Map, below which is the secret name of the Ziwei Emperor.

Holding this decree allows one to command troops (heavenly soldiers and generals), cure diseases, and exorcise evil spirits.

There is also the Emperor's token, with the image of the Emperor holding the sun in his left hand and a sword in his right hand engraved on the front. Below it are the taboo names of Yuan Yang Shangdi, Tie Shi Shangdi, and Xuan Yuan Shangdi, and further down are the taboo names of the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor, and Zi Wei. This decree is placed in a Taoist temple, and all evil spirits and demons dare not enter.

Of course, these are just legends.

The decrees of the purple-robed Taoist priests in modern Taoism are all produced uniformly by the association. If conditions permit, mass production in factories is also possible.

After Master Chen took his leave, Chen Han looked around the house. The layout was quite good, in line with the simplicity of Taoism. Most importantly, the platform outside faced the Wudang Mountains and forests, which was very picturesque.

A wooden tea table was also prepared inside.

The tea ceremony is also a discipline within Taoism.

Not long after he sat down, he received a video call from Xiao Mi, who had changed into a Taoist robe and was showing him the accommodation that had been arranged for him.

After chatting for a while, Chen Han took out a primary spirit stone and began practicing the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

The last Du meridian is now ready to be broken through at any time. This time, after leaving Wudang, I will definitely break through the spiritual meridian.

It wasn't until the afternoon that he received another call from Master Chen, about arranging a meeting with Master Li, the president of the association.

He also asked the other party to bring his people over, so they could meet.

This Taoist priest, Li, also comes from the Quanzhen School, but now he spends most of his time on association matters.

Although the association does not have strong binding power over the Taoist community, this person has made significant contributions to the Taoist community. For example, he was the one who negotiated and fought for certain Taoist matters and interests from higher authorities.

In addition, he has been promoting the development of Taoism abroad.

Therefore, although the various purple-robed Taoist priests in the Taoist sect do not usually handle affairs, they all show this man some respect.

Moreover, the ancient buildings of the Chen family are all related to Taoism, and many of the carvings on the buildings are even Taoist symbols. Originating from Taoism is the root of the Chen family.

Re-registering the family now and establishing a separate lineage would also be very beneficial for the Chen family.

Previously, because they were not registered, only the head of the Chen family could have a Dharma name. For example, he is the only one in the entire Chen family with the Dharma name 'Da Xuan'.

This group has no presence in the entire Taoist community, but the key is that the Chen family is now very famous, which makes it somewhat unbalanced.

Now the Chen family can officially enter the Taoist sect and register their lineage. Later, my uncle and the others can also officially take their Taoist names and register their generational names.

That's different for the Chen family.

In ancient times, this would have been considered orthodox.

Sometimes, the word "orthodox" is very important.

Therefore, there will likely be frequent interactions with the association in the future. Since the Taoist priest in purple robes shows this person some respect, he will naturally follow suit and respect the other party's contributions to the Taoist sect.

Thinking about it, he also took out a canister of premium Leizhu Spirit Tea and brewed it on the wooden tea table.

Before long, Master Chen arrived with Master Li, along with two elderly Taoist priests.

When Master Chen entered, he naturally introduced the disciples: "Master Chen, this is Master Li, and this is our Wudang Sect Leader, Master Qingwei. This is Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain."

Chen Han nodded and gave the group a Taoist salute: "Greetings, three Taoist masters."

The three returned the greeting, saying, "Patriarch Chen, we apologize for disturbing you."

"Please have a seat, four Daoists. I've just brewed a pot of tea; let's enjoy it." Chen Han invited the four to sit down, picked up the finely brewed Lei Zhu Ling tea, and poured a cup for each of them.

As soon as Master Chen entered, he smelled the aroma of tea and knew what kind of tea it was. He picked up a cup and took a sip: "Speaking of tea, the Chen family's Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea is the best."

Master Qingwei and Master Zhang had both tasted the premium Leizhu Lingcha tea. Previously, when the people from the Taoist temple went to the Chen family to exchange ideas on feng shui, they not only brought back two feng shui books, but also the premium Leizhu Lingcha tea gifted by the Chen family.

Of course, I know how exquisite this tea is.

Master Li, however, had never drunk it before. Upon hearing Master Chen's words, he picked up a cup and drank it, then looked surprised.

This tea is indeed very good.

After drinking two cups of tea, the group chatted for a while about matters related to Taoism.

Master Li then spoke up, stating his purpose: "Patriarch Chen, besides bringing you tomorrow's register, purple robe, and decree, I have two other requests to ask of you."

Chen Han had already guessed that the other party had a purpose in coming to his door, so he smiled and said, "Master Li, please speak!"

Master Li said with a smile, "Here, I would like to first congratulate the Chen family head. The two prodigies of the Chen family achieved excellent results in the National Games, and the first thing is also related to this."

"After the registration, the Chen family will also be a legitimate lineage of Taoism, and the Chen family's prodigies will also be our Taoist prodigies. When the two prodigies have their Taoist names registered, we hope that the Chen family head will help them to register as Taoists first."

"At the beginning of next month, our Taoist sect will be holding a Dharma assembly. We would like to invite two outstanding figures from our Taoist sect to participate and lend their support. Our Taoist sect's influence is still too weak."

Upon hearing this, Master Qingwei chimed in, "In this modern society, inviting us old folks to participate is really less impactful than having two young people."

Chen Han smiled, probably understanding the purpose, and did not refuse: "Master Li, the Chen family agrees to this matter and will register them first."

The Chen family has established a separate lineage, and its members will definitely be registered one after another. Only those who are registered are qualified to practice martial arts and learn some things about the Chen family, such as the feng shui ornaments that my uncle is currently learning.

And it's impossible to include all the clan members in the register at once.

The first batch will definitely only include three hall masters: Uncle Xiao, Uncle Da Gou, and Uncle Shui Sheng, as well as Auntie and Junior Sister.

After that, the three prodigies can be registered.

Then, it was gradually opened up.

Therefore, Chen Dao and Chen Linlin are indeed members of the Taoist sect, and it's not a big deal for them to make the trip for something within their capabilities.

Taoism is an indigenous sect, but its influence is less than one-fifth that of Buddhism.

Most importantly, Buddhism has connections with many celebrities, including some big-name actors, which, combined with their influence and promotion, has had an amazing effect.

I won't go into other aspects, as they might be offensive.

Having Chen Dao, Chen Linlin, or Chen Dalong stand on the stage together would at least draw more attention to Taoism and make people more willing to learn about it.

Over time, its influence increased.

"Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Chen." Master Li said with thanks, and then brought up the second matter: "As for the second matter, it is related to the feng shui book compiled by Patriarch Chen."

"Currently, the Taoists are all studying books on feng shui, but due to their poor basic scientific knowledge, they are making little progress."

"Master Chen also knows that the Taoist sect has a Taoist academy with systematic teaching. I hope to incorporate the books you have written into the curriculum."

"Of course, it's only the basic feng shui part. Moreover, the book on basic feng shui is divided into three parts, which will greatly benefit the future development of Taoism and increase its influence."

Chen Han thought for a moment before saying, "Master Li must have discussed this matter with Master Qingwei and Master Zhang. Since I have shared the books with everyone, everyone has the right to do what they want with them."

There's actually no downside to this.

Basic feng shui is relatively simple. Even without following feng shui books, geographical and meteorological science knowledge alone can explain many things.

This kind of basic knowledge, with so many temples and monasteries within the Taoist community, will inevitably be leaked out over time, so it's better to just go with the flow.

The key point is that he wrote this feng shui book, which also enhances his reputation.

Most importantly, and truly crucially, is the "Intermediate Feng Shui" manual, which wasn't found within the Feng Shui Spiritual Record Stone.

The two feng shui books shared with the Taoist sect were not important to him; they were just one of the things he would use to teach the Chen family members who were registering their lineage and ranking their generations.

After receiving Chen Han's reply, Master Li expressed his gratitude once again.

After the important matters were discussed, we returned to simpler exchanges, talking about things related to Taoism or discussing some Taoist scriptures.

It wasn't until evening that Chen Han went out for dinner with several Taoist priests. The priests gathered together and chatted for a long time, during which he got to know most of the Taoist priests.

Back at his lodgings that night, he washed up and then took out the primary spirit stones again to practice the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

Moreover, after cultivating until late at night, a pleasant surprise finally appeared. He directly controlled the true energy gathered in his body to impact the Du meridian, and in one breath, he opened up the Du meridian.

The eight extraordinary meridians were completely unblocked, but this was not the end. The next step was to immediately and forcefully break through the spiritual meridians to achieve a true breakthrough.

According to the description in "The Basic Qi Cultivation Method of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture", once the Ren and Du meridians are fully opened, all true qi must be gathered in the spiritual meridians and moved forward in a yin-yang rotation, eventually converging at one point to impact the spiritual meridian interface.

The yin-yang rotation is the yin-yang fish intertwining and rotating.

Of course, this does not refer to the rotation of a two-dimensional yin-yang symbol, because the yin and yang are not simply two-dimensional planes; they also have sides and perspective.

The lateral rotation is like the rotation of stars around the Earth.

The images of planets revolving around the Earth that we usually see are only two-dimensional; in reality, those planets actually revolve around the Earth in spirals.

When Tai Chi Yin Yang was created, it was based on observing the movement of the stars, which is scientifically sound.

As for why the Ren and Du meridians gather true qi to break through and use the yin-yang rotation, that involves the distribution trend of the Ren and Du meridians, which is like a yin-yang spiral, surrounding the spiritual meridians.

Therefore, Chen Han began to gather all his true energy, circulating it in a yin-yang spiral pattern, and then impacting the intersection of the two meridians and the spiritual meridian.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight. Just like there are barriers in place, it requires repeated impacts of true energy to finally achieve a breakthrough in one go.

Of course, if you don't succeed this time before your true energy is depleted, you can only wait until you accumulate true energy and try again next time.

Time passed quickly, and the night was over. By the morning of the second day, Chen Han's true energy was finally about to be exhausted. But at that moment, it sounded as if something was shattering inside his body.

Through internal vision, it can be seen that the intersection of the Ren and Du meridians and the spiritual meridians is about to be opened.

His aura began to change, as if two special forces were rapidly expanding around him.

Taoist priests usually have morning prayers and generally get up quite early.

Master Xuan got up early in the morning, intending to go to the guest hall of the Five Dragons Palace to recite the morning prayers.

Many Taoist priests shared the same plan as him, such as Zhang Tianshi and Li Daoren, and they all came out together and went together.

Upon arriving at the building where the Chen family patriarch resided, the group of Taoist priests instinctively waited.

“Patriarch Chen should be coming out soon, let’s go with him,” Master Li suggested, a suggestion that was agreed upon by the other masters.

This also shows that the head of the Chen family holds a significant place in everyone's hearts, after all, everyone owes him a favor simply because of his feng shui books.

"Huh, what's going on here?" Zhang Tianshi suddenly pointed to the leaves on the ground in surprise.

Master Xuan and Master Li looked over in surprise and saw the leaves all around them trembling wildly.

The key point is that there was no wind at this time, which is very strange.

And just moments later, a scene that shocked all the Taoist priests appeared: the leaves seemed to be pulled by something and floated up.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Master Xuanshi cursed instinctively.

……

　We've finally broken through! Everyone, remember to vote with your monthly tickets, thank you!
