I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 308 Damn! Are you kidding me?

[Congratulations on completing the Dao Debate! During the debate, you convinced all the fellow Daoists present and have obtained a special treasure: the Illusionary Pearl x1]

Chen Han then remembered that this feng shui exchange meeting had also triggered a discussion task.

His original plan was to complete the mission by helping Wudang Mountain repair the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak.

Last night, the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak was completely repaired, so there was no notification that the Dao Discussion was completed. I didn't expect that when I came here this morning, the task would be completed just like that.

The main reason these Taoist priests were suddenly looking at him like that must be because something had happened.

At this moment, Daoist Qingwei and Daoist Chen stepped out from among the Daoist priests and bowed to him with great respect.

Master Qingwei said excitedly, "Patriarch Chen, thank you so much for helping Wudang repair the Feng Shui formation of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak. Moreover, you were right about the micro-energy particles."

“Last night, my junior brother Chen and I practiced according to the Tai Chi Chuan manual, and we really discovered a difference brought about by the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak. The true method of cultivation should be like this.”

These words clearly drew the attention of the Taoist priests, because it meant that Wudang could truly cultivate genuine Tai Chi and possess real skills like the head of the Chen family.

Of course, they didn't know that the Chen family actually cultivated immortality, which made them different.

Chen Han now understood what was going on.

It seems that kung fu is very important to the Chinese people, even to these Taoist priests.

Chen Han humbly replied, "Master Qingwei, there's no need for thanks. These were all left behind by the Wudang Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng. Besides, I also gained practical experience in feng shui this time."

Afterwards, the Taoist priests engaged in a lively discussion, and finally Zhang Tianshi suggested that they eat something first, and then review the Feng Shui exchange meeting together.

Then, everyone should go home.

The Taoist priests were clearly eager to return to their own temples as soon as possible. Although they had sent a message last night to check if there were any feng shui formation diagrams, this matter was like ants crawling in their hearts, making it impossible for them to calm down.

While eating, Chen Han looked into the game inventory and saw the notes for the newly acquired Chi Huan Zhu.

【Chihuan Pearl: This is a special treasure crafted by the Southern Cultivation Alliance. It can create special illusions to deal with the Southern Demonic Path.】

Most people in the Southern Demonic Path have poor character because their methods are similar to those of the Green Robe Ancestor, leaving them with significant psychological vulnerabilities. This bead can draw out the things that are most important to them in their memories, creating a special illusion to find their psychological weaknesses and defeat them.

Note: Due to its special nature, the Illusionary Bead's ability to construct illusions has mutated. It may be useful in conjunction with the specially modified Soul-Summoning Banner.

The Southern Demonic Cult is a powerful force in the world of Shushan Swordsman, located in Baiman Mountain. Its leader, the Green-Robed Ancestor, is an incredibly powerful figure when he first appears.

The Chi Huan Pearl, which can be used to deal with the Southern Demonic Sect, must be an extraordinary treasure.

However, this thing has mutated due to special reasons. The ability to construct illusions can be used in conjunction with a special soul-summoning banner that has also mutated. Isn't this a bit deliberate?
The special summoning banner looks like a computer screen; you might as well just say that the Chi Huan Zhu is a plugin.

These days, even giving a gift has to be done in such a special and blatant way.

Does this game system even understand the concepts of subtlety and euphemism?
Forget it, this game system copied his abstract videos and real-world information so blatantly, how can you expect it to be subtle or implicit?
After breakfast, the Taoist priests invited Chen Han to go to the main hall of the exchange meeting.

Master Qingwei had already arranged for someone to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones here.

Master Xuan said with a smile, “Fellow Daoists, you have all participated in the restoration of the Thunderfire Refining Golden Peak. How about you all write down the feng shui layouts you are responsible for? We will compile them into a record and call it ‘The Record of the Golden Peak of the Daoist School’.”

This was agreed upon by the other Taoist priests, and they all agreed to print a copy of this summary and place it in their own temple's library.

To outsiders they can say "believe in science," but internally they must present factual accounts.

While the Taoist priests were writing the minutes together, the news about the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak went viral online overnight.

The video in particular, in which the blogger recounted the cause and effect, attracted a great deal of attention.

Huang Tao also saw it. He is now a loyal fan of the Chen family. He got up early in the morning to see if there were any news videos about the Chen family, but he ended up seeing this blogger's video.

Just listening to the blogger talk about restoring the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain and the video of Professor Yuan being dealt with, I was still a bit confused.

But when he clicked on the relevant video and saw the stunning footage of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak, he was filled with disbelief.

In the pitch-black night sky, the sudden burst of brilliant golden light as the lightning struck was utterly breathtaking.

When he saw the related events about the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain, especially the experts installing lightning protection nets and so on, he suddenly felt relieved about the fate of that Professor Yuan described by the blogger.

That was a really well done.

Do you experts and professors even understand feng shui? You just want to get involved.

It can be said that the video of the successful restoration of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak instantly made the term "Feng Shui" popular online, and at the same time, the discussion about Taoism also increased, all of which have a significant impact.

Therefore, this matter has made some people uneasy.

In a temple, a highly respected bald CEO was also holding a mobile phone and having a remote video call with several other bald CEOs in different places.

Compared to those people in the Taoist sect, this new CEO is much more adept at using his phone, after all, he inherited quite a few things from the CEO who went in.

For example, how do I learn to work with female internet celebrities by looking at their accounts and watching videos that I don't understand?

Because of the former CEO's situation, their overall influence has been greatly affected, and their influence in various places has been weakening. On the contrary, the Taoist sect has been getting a lot of news lately, and its influence is getting higher and higher.

If that were the case, it would be fine, but then recently the Taoist sect released the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra".

The impact of this thing is enormous.

Their people have confirmed that various Taoist temples and monasteries have programs for reciting the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra," and crucially, they have received definite information that the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra" recited in these temples and monasteries truly has special effects.

This is a terrible thing.

The new CEOs have all arranged for the most professional chanting masters to decipher the "Ancient Mindfulness Mantra" and then rewrite it as the "Peaceful Buddhist Scripture," thus making it their own.

It can also be used to counter the opponent's "Ancient Tranquility Technique".

As for whether or not they plagiarize? Their protests are useless. They can also come up with a lot of stories about lineage, and they have more influence, more followers, and more money.

With all these factors combined, it's hard to say who will win.

The idea was good, but those chanting masters were useless; they still hadn't deciphered the "Ancient Tranquility Mantra."

It wasn't just them; other parts of Buddhism were also trying to break the spell, but to no avail.

He may not be good at any specific techniques, but as CEO, he is well aware that the "Ancient Tranquility Technique" naturally possesses mysterious effects, and its influence will grow stronger over time.

That mystical feeling will attract more and more believers, and it's like a patent of the Taoist sect; they have no way to get past it now.

The problem is that this issue hasn't been resolved yet, and these days there have been rumors of a feng shui exchange meeting in Wudang. Originally, the Taoist priests came out to clarify, thinking it was just a misunderstanding.

But who knew that the video of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak last night would cause such a stir on the internet? The legendary spectacle has reappeared, and anyone with common sense can guess that the feng shui formation of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak has been restored.

In other words, the "Ancient Tranquility Manual" has only been around for a short time, and the other party is already trying to verify the authenticity of the feng shui?

This is definitely not good news.

The key issue is feng shui, which they are completely helpless about. After all, feng shui is not their core focus, and they know perfectly well where their limited knowledge of feng shui comes from.

After all, the sect originated from India, and there's no such thing as feng shui there; their ancestral temple has even been destroyed.

After the video call connected, the new CEO sighed and said, "You've all seen the news about the Golden Summit, right? The situation is rather serious."

The other person nodded: "It's very disadvantageous, since we haven't deciphered the Ancient Tranquility Mantra yet."

“We can’t let this hype continue,” another person immediately said. “If we can’t stop this feng shui, it will soon become another ‘Ancient Tranquility Mantra’.” The group discussed this for a long time and finally came up with the most effective solution: to report it.

As for what to report, it is naturally the promotion of 'feudal superstition'.

Isn't the Taoist sect now shamelessly promoting feng shui?

Although some people say that feng shui is a kind of science, feng shui has not been formally defined as a science; it is simply metaphysics.

Such unbridled propaganda is problematic once it's put on the scale.

Therefore, all they need to do is report to the relevant departments, and they can arrange for many people to write these reports in a short period of time.

After discussing the matter, they disconnected the video link and then made arrangements.

As for which relevant department to report to, it should naturally be the one directly under the jurisdiction of the Buddhist Association and the Taoist Association.

...

As the secretary-general of the Taoist Association, Ma Yuan (Chapter 301) sometimes feels really tired.

Because these Taoist priests are all too shrewd.

Whether it's the president, Master Li, or the vice presidents and Taoist priests, sometimes they can easily fall into his trap if they're not careful.

This time is no different. Those Taoist priests clearly said it was a Taoist scripture exchange meeting, clearly said they were going to write scriptures, but suddenly it turned into repairing feng shui formations.

How did the video of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak spread across the internet in just one night?

What happened to believing in science?
He even recalled Master Li's righteous and stern questioning of whether he "did not believe in science" and his threat to report him.

At the time, everyone was bored; he never imagined that a Taoist would use such a method to subdue him.

But when he saw the news online as soon as he got to work, he felt like he had been tricked again.

He was so anxious that he wanted to question Master Li, but then his direct supervisor called.

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard my boss's angry voice: "Ma Yuan, what's wrong with you? Can't you even do this job? Do you know how many complaint letters you've received, accusing some Taoist priests of feudal superstition?"

Ma Yuan frowned upon hearing this. To be honest, it was normal for such a heated situation at night to attract the attention of the leaders.

But many of these complaint letters are not normal.

After all, the video of the Thunder and Fire Refining Gold Peak is real, and people are only shocked. As for the feng shui formations, they are not something that Wudang or those Taoist priests promoted. They are just videos posted by tourists and spontaneously created by netizens.

Therefore, upon seeing this video, a normal person would likely only feel shocked and deeply moved.

After all, even he felt shocked and stunned.

Even if some oddballs report it, they should be a minority. If the leader says a lot, then there must be quite a few.

This indicates that someone is pulling strings behind the scenes.

Although he felt he had been tricked by Master Li and his group again, he could only cover for them in this situation: "Boss, this must be a misunderstanding. Wudang only applied for a 'Taoist Scripture Exchange Conference' and did not promote feng shui or anything like that. Moreover, those Taoist priests came out to clarify before and told everyone to believe in science."

"What's the deal with the video of the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak online?" the leader immediately questioned again.

“It should be a natural lightning strike, after all, there are records of this happening before,” Ma Yuan explained immediately. But feeling that it wasn’t convincing enough, he added, “The leader has to believe in this scientific phenomenon. Does the leader not believe in science and think this is just a feng shui phenomenon?”

"..." The leader suddenly fell silent, seemingly unable to find the words to express himself, and finally managed to utter a single sentence: "Quickly eliminate the impact of this matter."

As soon as the phone call ended, Ma Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "That sales pitch was amazing!"

I really feel like I've learned something.

No wonder I was stumped by Master Li's words before.

However, Master Li also needed to give him an explanation, so he hurriedly picked up his phone and dialed again.

At Wudang, the Taoist priests were writing furiously. Many of the feng shui layouts they were responsible for had already been written and were being checked.

Afterwards, more and more people checked, and then they discussed it together, confirming the findings.

Master Li and Zhang Tianshi discussed things together, and when they felt they had made a breakthrough, they would laugh heartily.

Just as he was having a good time, Master Li's phone rang, and seeing the number immediately dampened his spirits.

If this person calls any of the association's secretaries-general's numbers, there's bound to be trouble.

He probably guessed what it was.

After all, the video of Wudang's Thunder and Fire Refining Golden Peak went viral online, so it was bound to attract attention.

So when he answered the phone, he said with a big smile, "Brother Ma, you're calling me so early in the morning, you must have some instructions, right?"

"Master Li, do you know how much trouble you've gotten into this time? This isn't a Taoist scripture exchange meeting, it's about compiling Taoist scriptures, it's definitely not a feng shui exchange meeting. Tell me what's going on with the news online, and what's this about the Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak?" Ma Yuan immediately started questioning him. After all, he had just been reprimanded by his superiors, and he wouldn't be satisfied unless he got back at Master Li.

Master Li already knew that this was what this person wanted to discuss, so he immediately said, "Brother Ma, we really are exchanging Taoist scriptures, and we have already compiled a Taoist scripture. I will show it to you as soon as I get back."

"What about the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak?" Ma Yuan immediately asked.

“Brother Ma, this is a natural phenomenon caused by lightning,” Master Li immediately explained. “Besides, you have to believe in this scientific phenomenon. Does the leader not believe in science and think this is just a feng shui phenomenon?”

"???" Ma Yuan was stunned. Why did these words sound so familiar? The key was that Master Li was playing this kind of deadly trick on him again. He could only say helplessly, "Quickly bring that Taoist scripture back so I can give the leader an explanation."

"Don't worry, Brother Ma, I'll be right back." Master Li replied, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately said to Master Qingwei and the others, "Masters, the situation online must have caught the attention of the higher-ups. I need to rush back and take care of it."

Master Qingwei immediately asked, "Master Li, what should we do about the Taoist scriptures? We'll definitely have to show them to that secretary-general, and maybe even to the higher-ups."

"It's the book 'Basic Feng Shui' edited by the Chen family." Master Li said directly. Seeing that Master Qingwei was still a little worried, he smiled and said, "Is 'Basic Feng Shui' a Taoist book? Is it a scripture? Have we compiled a Taoist scripture? The key is that this is about geography and feng shui, a science of geography. Doesn't it have nothing to do with superstition?"

Master Qingwei and the other Taoist priests laughed. Although that was their initial plan, they were truly impressed to see Master Li say it so matter-of-factly.

Master Li left quickly. After making arrangements at Wudang, he returned to the association as fast as possible. He then found a printing shop and had the book "Basic Feng Shui" reprinted into three parts: upper, middle, and lower.

The upper part is first shown to Secretary-General Ma Yuan. Then, the middle and lower parts, when the geomancy is officially recognized, will have value and can become a kind of political achievement related to the inheritance of culture.

The same applies to science and literature; using scientific geography to prove science can have a greater impact than many other things.

After preparing himself, he took out his phone and dialed Ma Yuan's number.

Ma Yuan had been troubled by the online issues for a long time, and was just waiting for Master Li to return so that he could resolve the matter and give his superiors an explanation.

So, when I received the call from Master Li and learned that he had brought back the Taoist books that the Taoist priests had written together, I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If it's truly a Taoist scripture exchange meeting and a Taoist scripture has been written, then handling this matter will be simple; otherwise, it will require some thought.

So when Master Li came to his office, the first thing he asked was, "Master Li, where are the Taoist scriptures you wrote?"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to take credit: "Do you know that someone has filed a large-scale complaint against you for promoting superstition and excessively promoting feng shui? Even the leaders have inquired about it. We have to prove to the leaders that your exchange meeting has nothing to do with feng shui and superstition."

Upon hearing this, Master Li handed over a portion of "Basic Feng Shui" with a strange expression.

Ma Yuan noticed the strange look on Li Daozhang's face and felt a sudden unease in his heart.

When he saw the words "Basic Feng Shui, Part 1" on the book he received, he immediately cursed: "Damn it, are you kidding me?"
