I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 304 I still need to provide guidance? Is it really that simple?
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xin sent a message to the group chat of the students he was mentoring: "There is a guidance group this time, and I will take 3 students with me. If you are interested, please write an application and I will select the participants."

Upon seeing this message, his student group chat became lively.

Everyone knows this kind of thing has benefits; it's the lowest-cost opportunity to accumulate practical experience and build high-value connections.

Most importantly, it provides a qualification that is very beneficial after graduation.

Not long after, a girl dressed in a flamboyant manner rushed to Yuan Xin's office and personally submitted a written application.

Yuan Xin smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the sensible student; he knew that this student would be a member of the guidance group.

At that moment, he received a call from that leader, knowing that the matter must have been resolved.

To impress the female students, he answered the call on speakerphone: "Boss, have we contacted them? When will our guidance team depart?"

But the answer he wanted didn't come from the phone: "Professor Yuan, forget about the guidance group. Those Taoist priests from Wudang are just there to study Taoist scriptures and write them. What are you going there for? To guide them in writing scriptures? Do you even understand Taoist scriptures? You're not afraid of losing face, but I am."

Clearly, this was an outlet for all the anger she had suffered at Master Qingwei's hands, which she vented on Yuan Xin.

If it weren't for Yuan Xin, he wouldn't have called that Qingwei Daoist and been so badly rebuked.

The problem was that the Taoist priest wouldn't give him any face, and there was nothing he could do about it.

In this new era, people have freedom of belief, and he really can't control them.

If they really wanted to cause trouble, the Taoist sect has so many Taoist priests, so many people, so many believers, and so many accounts and followers online...

What are you going to do?
Then a label of violating the ironclad rule of freedom of belief and undermining harmony and unity will be slapped on them.

He couldn't even withstand a Taoist priest's simple statement about believing in science, so he's even less likely to be subjected to this kind of label.

Yuan Xin was questioned by his superior and immediately felt embarrassed in front of the female students. He quickly said, "Supervisor, that discussion of Taoist scriptures is definitely their excuse. They just want to repair the Golden Summit and study the feng shui."

Upon hearing his words, the person on the other end of the phone said decisively, "Yuan Xin, if you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself. Don't drag others into it. I don't know anything about this."

Before Yuan Xin could say anything more, the call was disconnected.

Yuan Xin immediately felt utterly humiliated in front of the female students, but he still smiled and said to the girl, "Xiao Yuan, go and get ready. You're one of the instructors this time."

Xiaoyuan asked instinctively, "Teacher, wasn't that just now..."

Yuan Xin calmly said, "I don't know what the leaders said. That means they tacitly approve of our going. It's not allowed in principle, but it's allowed in practice."

He had already made up his mind that if this method didn't work, he would hold a joint supervision meeting in the name of the school, which would also be a supervision team, right?
The only difference is that there's no official endorsement!
They might be able to fool and intimidate Wudang by using the name of the supervisory team, and then things would be easier to handle afterwards. In the end, the pen would be in their hands.

...

Wudang Golden Summit.

Seeing Chen Han staring intently at the golden-roofed building, Master Qingwei asked expectantly, "Patriarch Chen, have you discovered something?"

Chen Han didn't hide anything, saying, "There is indeed a feng shui formation at the Golden Summit, but it's damaged. However, there's a lack of specific information, so I can't understand it either."

Upon hearing this, Master Qingwei's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly instructed Master Chen: "Junior brother, take some people to bring up the feng shui map left by Master Sanfeng, as well as detailed geographical maps, whether ancient or modern."

"Okay, senior brother." Master Chen nodded and hurriedly led his men down the mountain.

You can see his eagerness.

After all, when Patriarch Chen said that the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain has a feng shui formation, it really does.

The Taoist priests around were also eager to try their hand at it, because the Feng Shui exchange meeting had truly begun, and the topic of discussion was the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak of Wudang.

Master Zhang proposed directly: "Fellow Daoists, since Wudang has invited us to help explore the feng shui formation of this Golden Summit, let's get moving and check the surrounding situation together to see if we can find anything."

This was agreed upon by all the Taoist priests.

Although they knew the protagonist was the head of the Chen family, everyone had studied those two feng shui books quite a bit during this time, and they were determined to give it a try and see.

While the Taoist priests were observing the surroundings, an elderly female Taoist priest from Wudang came up. She was clearly of high seniority, and even Master Qingwei treated her very politely.

The old female Taoist priest was followed by two disciples.

The key point is that Chen Han saw Xiao Mi, who came up with three female Taoists. She was happy to see Chen Han and came over: "Chen Han, are the Taoists looking at the feng shui of the Golden Peak?"

"Okay!" Chen Han nodded.

Xiao Mi was eager to try it out, so he pulled Chen Han to look around the Golden Summit as well.

She had also read those two books on feng shui.

After all, her name is still on those two books; she's a special advisor.

Chen Han had previously produced two books, which were made by Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu kept two copies for herself and then studied them.

A moment later, she excitedly pointed in a direction and said, "Chen Han, this is a 'mountain-facing-water' formation, right? Wudang has 72 peaks, and it truly contains natural feng shui formations everywhere."

"According to geographical terms, a geographical environment that is backed by high mountains and faces open water can regulate the climate and create a good ecological environment."

"Chen Han, am I right?"

"Yes, absolutely right." Chen Han couldn't help but admire Xiao Mi's talent for learning.

Many Taoist priests around knew this Xiao Mi, after all, he had been the geomancer's advisor when they exchanged feng shui knowledge with the Chen family.

As soon as she arrived, Master Xuan and other knowledgeable people introduced her to their fellow disciples.

Therefore, when they heard that she also wanted to check the feng shui around the Golden Summit, the Taoist priests were very curious. Now, hearing her talk about how it could be combined with geography, they were truly amazed.

They're not even as good as her!
This……

However, the Taoist priests were, after all, practitioners of Taoism, and they quickly calmed down. Each of them explained the feng shui layout of the area around the Golden Summit, including the 72 peaks of Wudang Mountain.

Some points were wrong, and some were right, but they did explain most of the feng shui patterns. In short, reading the two feng shui books was worthwhile.

Chen Han was also observing these individual feng shui patterns. He wanted to see if he could discern anything based on his own understanding and research of feng shui, without relying on the feng shui spirit stone.

Although I have the Feng Shui Spirit Stone as a cheat code, it's never a bad thing to master more of my own real skills.

After observing for a period of time, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Because he vaguely sensed some fragmented energy that connected with the geographical features of the 72 peaks of Wudang.

To verify this, he pretended to go behind the Golden Summit and, when the Taoist priests weren't paying attention, took out the new Five Emperors Sword.

This new Five Emperors Sword can sense the terrain.

Holding the new Five Emperors Sword, he closed his eyes and sensed it. He indeed felt the unique and magnificent natural terrain of Wudang, and was even more impressed by the unique advantages of this scenic spot.

Moreover, that energy did indeed exist; it wasn't his imagination, which shows that he did have some knowledge of feng shui.

Chen Han was even more surprised after putting away the new Five Emperors Sword.

The Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak may be a combination of the natural feng shui patterns of the 72 peaks of Wudang Mountain through special feng shui energy channels, thus forming a feng shui formation.

Furthermore, through the sensing of the geographical terrain by the New Five Emperors Sword, coupled with the Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone, he had a strange feeling about this formation.

It seems very similar to a "Seven Stars Coordinating with the Mountain" feng shui formation described in "Intermediate Feng Shui".

That would be somewhat unbelievable.

That so-called Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak, it's not that lightning falls down, but rather that the feng shui formation absorbs the lightning.

Simply put, it's like a dark cloud drifting overhead, and someone who's been holding back a thunderbolt that they don't want to unleash here is trying to draw it down and fire it here instead.

If that's the case, then Master Zhang Sanfeng, who could think of utilizing the natural terrain in this way, must have been an incredibly brilliant person.

Moreover, if that's the case, then the feng shui formation that draws the lightning down couldn't possibly be just for refining that golden roof and creating that spectacular golden light, could it?
However, this feng shui formation was built during the Yongle reign using the resources of an entire nation, according to the blueprints left by Master Sanfeng, who had already passed away by then.

Therefore, no one knows the specific purpose of Master Zhang Sanfeng.

Before long, Master Chen and his men brought up a series of ancient and modern geographical and topographical data about Wudang.

The reason we use the word "moved" is because there were really a lot of them.

Some Taoist priests brought tables from a nearby building and placed the documents on those tables.

Master Chen also took out a picture and carefully placed it on a table. This picture was originally rolled up and protected inside with special cultural relic preservation scrolls.

Now, unfold it, and you can see the contents of the fragment.

Master Chen also introduced: "Patriarch Chen, fellow Daoists, this incomplete map of the feng shui formation was left behind by our Wudang Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng."

"Back in the Yongle reign, the golden roof and many palaces were built according to this map... This map was damaged, and everyone knows the specific reason; it's something that couldn't be discussed in that era... But this is..."

As he explained, he pointed to the corresponding locations on the map and explained which place it was now.

The Taoist priests around had already gathered around, looking at it intently, but their attention was mostly focused on the fragments of the map left by the patriarch Zhang Sanfeng.

Although the feng shui formation diagram of Wudang is incomplete, it still retains most of the information. But their side is in a much worse situation; they don't even know if they have anything like that.

Chen Han looked at the game prompt on the screen in his mind with surprise:

[The Feng Shui Record Stone has discovered incomplete supporting evidence for a Feng Shui formation +1, increasing the analysis progress by 1%. Current progress is 1%.]

...

[The Feng Shui Record Stone has discovered incomplete supporting evidence for a Feng Shui formation +1, increasing the analysis progress by 60%, currently at 79%. The relevant Feng Shui pattern has been identified!]

...

[The Feng Shui Record Stone has discovered incomplete supporting evidence for a Feng Shui formation +1, increasing the analysis progress by 2%, currently at 90%, revealing the relevant Feng Shui pattern!]

Chen Han looked at the rows of game prompts, which showed that this geographical and topographical data was indeed useful for the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak formation.

The 60% increase was due to the incomplete feng shui formation diagram left by Master Zhang Sanfeng, which shows that this feng shui formation diagram is indeed very important.

It's only 60%, which is probably because the feng shui formation diagram is incomplete.

The key issue is that the analysis has stalled at around 90%, and it's unclear whether this is due to the incomplete feng shui diagram or some other reason.

Moreover, as the data on this Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone is collected and analyzed, it can be seen that there are indicator lights that cannot be seen from the side, which then spread outwards.

This is another feng shui indicator icon from the Feng Shui Record Stone. The higher the analysis progress, the wider these rays spread, and the more indicator icons appear. For example, the location corresponding to the analyzed feng shui pattern, as well as the corresponding arrangement, will be indicated.

In Chen Han's eyes, the surroundings were filled with dense feng shui indicators, but in the eyes of Zhang Tianshi and Qingwei Daoist, it was still peaceful.

Chen Han had already picked up a geographical map and walked down to a house below to look at it and make comparisons.

Because these houses and the terrain create a very good 'momentum-driven layout'.

Here, 'momentum' is just a figurative term and can refer to anything. According to the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements and the attraction of all things, setting up different things here can attract corresponding things.

And on the mountaintop, some wooden structures were erected, which speaks volumes.

Have you ever heard of lightning-struck wood?
But when Chen Han looked at the buildings on both sides, his brows furrowed slightly.

His actions were naturally noticed by the other Taoist priests, and they all followed suit.

Master Qingwei couldn't help but ask, "Patriarch Chen, is there something amiss?"

Chen Han countered, "Wasn't this place rebuilt before?"

Master Qingwei nodded: "It wasn't that the building was damaged after the lightning protection net was installed; it was during that time that it was rebuilt, and an expert was in charge at the time."

"They also said that wooden buildings are too dangerous to be struck by lightning and have low protection. They just happened to have developed a new building material that is also very good at lightning protection. Now they are even using our material as a benchmark for their research and promotion."

"Is it a combination of wood and brick?" Chen Han asked, touching the material.

"Yes." Master Qingwei nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "Patriarch Chen, isn't there something wrong with this?"

Chen Han shook his head: "It was originally a wood-based structure, but now it's half earth and half wood, so it's naturally ruined."

Originally, brick and wood construction referred to buildings that combined bricks and wood. However, with the emergence of new building materials, semi-wood mixed construction materials appeared.

This material is also very popular, even one of the best-selling building materials, because a retro building can be built with this material, which not only has the appearance of a wooden structure, but also has a relatively good safety structure.

In the event of a lightning strike, buildings constructed with such materials are safer.

Therefore, the expert in charge of the construction couldn't say anything to the other party. Since the other party didn't believe in feng shui, and was just an architect, he naturally relied on his own knowledge.

However, this is a big mistake when it comes to feng shui, and specifically within a feng shui formation.

However, upon reflection, what truly disrupted the feng shui formation were the lightning rods and lightning protection nets. They added a layer of metal to an otherwise perfect feng shui formation and forcibly changed the location of lightning strikes, causing them to spread.

The lightning didn't strike the lightning strike point; instead, it impacted other parts of the formation, and the result was predictable.

Master Qingwei realized, "Patriarch Chen, does that mean the building is incorrect and needs to be restored to its original wooden structure?"

Chen Han nodded: "At least most of the structure should be like this."

"Then what should we do?" Master Chen's expression changed immediately, as did Master Qingwei's.

At this moment, the other Taoist priests also noticed that the building had a sign hanging on it.

Protect buildings.

They have ID cards.

Wudang is not qualified to demolish and rebuild this building.

This is a bit difficult.

The original was destroyed, and the rebuilt structure became a protected building.

One of the celestial masters said, "There should be a way to make up for it, right? The whole formation should need the wood element here, so planting peach trees or similar woods on the outside should make up for it. The 'Secret Records of Feng Shui' written by the Chen family head contains information on how to make up for the feng shui formation."

"This method does work." Chen Han nodded. There was indeed such a solution in the diagram inside the Feng Shui Spirit Record Stone.

Without hesitation, Master Qingwei said to Master Chen, "Junior Brother Chen, arrange for someone to handle this immediately and try to plant peach trees outside today."

"Yes." Master Chen nodded.

Although this matter is difficult, Wudang is still wealthy, and they should be able to resolve it today.

Afterwards, the Taoist priests looked at the geographical and topographical data.

Chen Han did the same, pretending to watch.

It wasn't until Master Qingwei asked again, "Patriarch Chen, although everyone can see the relevant feng shui patterns, we have absolutely no clue how to construct the formation," that it became clear.

Chen Han understood what he meant: "Master Qingwei, I have some clues and can even draw out the general formation, but I always feel that something is missing. If you don't mind, I hope to go into the Wudang Library to check the relevant ancient books and look for clues."

He didn't know what was missing in that 10%, but since the analysis wasn't complete, the feng shui formation diagram was probably incomplete, and it was unknown whether it could be repaired in the end.

Therefore, if these materials are insufficient, we should try our luck by looking at the ancient books of Wudang.

Upon hearing this, Master Qingwei agreed without hesitation: "Patriarch Chen, no problem, I'll have someone take you there."

The Wudang library is generally not open to the public, and many of its books are antiques, but this depends on who you are.

Especially now that the feng shui formations all depend on this Chen family head, as long as the feng shui formations are successful, not only will they send over any ancient books that the Chen family head wants, but Wudang will also send them over.

After that, the people of Wudang also began to take action.

Master Qingwei also personally led Chen Han to the library.

In the afternoon, the peach trees ordered by Master Chen arrived. Since they were related to the feng shui arrangement, he personally led a team to inspect them before they were delivered for planting.

That's quite fast in terms of speed and execution.

"Master Chen, don't you trust the trees at our base? We've been cooperating for so long." The person in charge of transporting the peach trees was the owner of the plantation.

Wudang is a long-time and major customer, and he orders plants from them frequently, so how could he dare to slack off?
"This peach tree is quite important, so we must be careful," Master Chen explained, but then he saw his senior brother, the headmaster, hurrying downstairs, as if something was amiss.

He hurriedly followed and asked as he got closer, "Senior brother, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

Master Qingwei explained, “It’s all because of those videos online. Those videos saying we’re going to repair the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak are still there, and many tourists still think it’s true. Curiosity can be a killer. Now many tourists are asking about this, and some even want to come in. We should go and explain.”

"Yes." Master Chen nodded.

The two talked as they descended the mountain together, arriving at the entrance of the scenic area.

Upon arriving at the location, the two Taoist priests noticed the tourists gathered there.

Upon seeing the two Taoist priests arrive, they all spoke up to ask questions:

"Two Taoist priests, when will the Golden Summit open to the public?"

"Two Taoist priests, do you really intend to restore the feng shui of the Golden Summit?"

"..."

When faced with these inquiries, Master Qingwei stated directly, "Dear tourists, there is no such thing as feng shui. The reason why the Golden Summit is not open to the public is because it is under construction and some plants are being planted. We will release a video about it later."

"As for feng shui and such, they are all nonsense. Everyone should believe in science. Those people on the internet are talking nonsense for traffic. We are all smart people and should not be fools who are led by the nose."

"Everyone should believe in science," Master Chen echoed.

After hearing this, the tourists were at a loss. What could they do?
Both Taoist priests offered this explanation; to not believe in science is to be a fool who's been led astray.

Nobody wants to be the fool in this situation.

So let's call it a day. Both Taoist priests said they'll release a video soon, and the Golden Summit will open to the public soon.

Some tourists were still skeptical, and the two Taoist priests cooperated to deceive them and lure them down the mountain.

Ordinary tourists are no match for the two Taoist priests' swindling skills; after all, when it comes to swindling, they are professionals.

After finally managing to swindle the tourists away, they breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the Five Dragons Palace. However, as soon as they arrived at the main hall, a Taoist priest was already waiting for them.

Upon seeing the two, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Senior Brother Headmaster, there's something I need to tell you. Some kind of guidance group sent us a letter saying they're coming to guide us. Could you take a look?"

Master Qingwei took a look and immediately frowned.

Something's not right, something's very wrong.

Master Chen also sensed something was wrong and subconsciously said, "Senior Brother, aren't these guys afraid we'll deal with them?"

Inside the Wudang Library, Chen Han looked at an ancient book in front of him and felt something was very wrong.

"This is definitely the one." Chen Han held the ancient book, his brow furrowed, then looked again at the game prompt that had appeared earlier:

[A special book was discovered on the Feng Shui Record Stone, seemingly containing records of Wudang Feng Shui formations. This might supplement the current analysis of Feng Shui formations. Feng Shui formation analysis in progress...]

Chen Han entered the library, scanned it with the Spirit Record Stone, and discovered the ancient book in his hand that explained Tai Chi.

He searched through it many times, but found nothing.

Is there some hidden layer as depicted in TV shows and novels?
That's too old-fashioned, isn't it?

He took a look and was dumbfounded. It's true that the older the formula, the more effective it is, right?
There really is a hidden layer.

He quickly took out a small knife and cut open the interlayer, revealing a small layer inside made of some unknown fabric.

The fact that it has been preserved to this day means that the material must be quite extraordinary.

[The Feng Shui Record Stone has discovered incomplete supporting evidence for a Feng Shui formation +1, increasing the analysis progress by 10%. Current progress is 100%. Congratulations on completing the analysis of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak Feng Shui Formation!]

Chen Han's face lit up with joy, and he immediately went to see what this crucial 10% was.

When he saw the description that "the feng shui stone is placed in the golden roof, and the formation is formed by drawing on thunder", he was clearly stunned for a moment.

The key to the feng shui formation of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak of Wudang is actually the feng shui stone.

He thought about it for a long time, and it turned out to be that simple?
The key point is that the purpose of Master Zhang Sanfeng's feng shui formation was indeed to attract lightning.

This objective is definitely not simple.
