Chapter 306: The Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit Reappears! The Real Goal!
Yuan Xin and his group were clearly intimidated by the scene before them.
After all, no matter who it is, being surrounded by a group of people, each holding a wooden stick, would make anyone feel apprehensive.
Most importantly, Yuan Xin and his people already had a guilty conscience.
Qingwei Daoist Priest and Chen Daoist Priest exchanged a glance, sharing a knowing smile.
Trying to seize the initiative?
These people were still too inexperienced.
In ancient times, how many bandits and thugs came up Wudang Mountain to cause trouble? Their way of seizing the initiative was clubs plus setting up a formation.
The fact that this move had lasted to this day was not something these people hanging a banner on a bus could compare to.
After seizing the initiative, Qingwei Daoist Priest walked forward with a pleasant smile and looked at Yuan Xin. “Professor Yuan Xin, right? I have long heard of your name. I heard that when our Daoist sect opened a Daoist Scripture Exchange Meeting and wanted to compile a Daoist scripture, you formed a supervision group to come guide us. We are really very grateful.”
“Just in time, we are live streaming and want to annotate a Daoist scripture. You arrived at the perfect moment. As the supervision group, Professor Yuan, please help us with the annotation.”
“???” Yuan Xin was instantly confused.
He had not come to supervise any Daoist Scripture Exchange Meeting. He had come to supervise the repairing of the Golden Summit.
But just as he was about to explain, Qingwei Daoist Priest enthusiastically stepped up, took his arm, and led him toward the table in front.
Chen Daoist Priest was also smiling as he pointed the live-streaming mobile phone at Yuan Xin. “Professor Yuan, there are already thirty thousand people online in the live room, all waiting for you to help us annotate the Daoist scripture.”
Once again, they seized the initiative and directly boxed Yuan Xin in.
Yuan Xin also realized something was wrong and tried to struggle, but who was Qingwei Daoist Priest? He practiced martial arts, once sent someone flying with a single palm, breaking their ribs and paying eight thousand yuan in compensation.
How could a professor like Yuan Xin resist? He was directly brought to the table where the Daoist scripture lay.
Chen Daoist Priest directly pointed the lens at Yuan Xin for a close-up, then looked at the insults in the live chat, his face full of smiles.
“What is this? What kind of useless professor is here teaching Qingwei Daoist Priest how to write Daoist scriptures?”
“My god, are today’s experts and professors this abstract? Actually going to Wudang to supervise Daoist priests writing scriptures?”
“Seriously, now I finally know what a ‘beast-professor’ and ‘brick-spurt’ are. Do you understand Daoist scriptures at all? How dare you supervise?”
“……”
Because in the past two days purple-robed Daoist priests had gathered at Wudang, and there was news about purple robes repairing the Leihuo Lianjinding Feng Shui Formation, the Daoist sect’s related popularity was already high.
So, with Chen Daoist Priest rarely starting a live stream, many people rushed in, especially when they saw those Daoist priests holding wooden sticks in full battle formation, making everyone feel there would be something exciting to watch.
They were even very eager.
But what exactly had they been looking forward to?
A so-called expert professor supervision group?
Seriously, with so many purple-robed Daoist priests holding a Daoist Scripture Exchange Meeting, which expert professor was so impressive as to supervise them?
Where was their shame?
How was this any different from being fed a lump of filth?
Not cursing a few times would not do justice to their expectations.
Seeing the insults in the barrage, Chen Daoist Priest’s smile grew brighter. “Professor Yuan Xin, there are now forty thousand people in the live room. They are all scolding you. Hurry up and annotate the Daoist scripture to prove your ability to supervise us in writing scriptures.”
He was obviously doing this on purpose, loudly reading out Yuan Xin’s name.
It was easy to imagine that tomorrow morning there would be news about professors wanting to supervise a group of purple-robed Daoist priests writing scriptures.
By then this person’s reputation would be known to everyone, stinking all over the internet.
At this moment Yuan Xin also understood that he had been set up; they had already laid the trap and waited for him to walk into it.
The other professors also reacted, and Chen Daoist Priest turned the phone toward them, smiling. “And several other professors, come together.”
The Wudang disciples did not hesitate. They immediately and “enthusiastically” invited those professors to the table.
These professors knew things were bad and wanted to resist, but facing two “enthusiastic” martial-arts-practicing Daoist priests, what could they do?
In no time, several professors were lined up with Yuan Xin in front of the table with the Daoist scriptures.
Yuan Xin’s face was dark. In another place, he might have waved the banner of authority, invoking the higher-ups, or spoken some high-sounding righteous words.
But Chen Daoist Priest was live, with forty thousand people online. If he said a single wrong word, or dared to drag in any leader, he knew he would be finished.
But what could he do now?
He could only reluctantly reach for the Daoist scripture with a hopeful mindset. But as soon as he opened it, his hopes vanished. It was all ancient text he could not understand at all.
Of course it was. This was clearly a setup. How could they give him any chance?
Going live all the time, with tens of thousands of viewers… did they have to be this ruthless?
Yuan Xin knew very well that if he did not resolve the immediate predicament, this would end badly, and his reputation would be ruined by tomorrow.
So he could only force himself to speak calmly. “Daoist priests, our supervision group is not here to supervise you writing Daoist scriptures, but to supervise matters related to repairing the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit.”
The moment the words “Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit” came out, Qingwei Daoist Priest and Chen Daoist Priest both exuded a clear murderous aura.
Qingwei Daoist Priest sneered. “Professor Yuan, you are sure you are supervising the repairing of the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit? But we at Wudang have no such repair project for the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit, so how could you be here to supervise?”
“Most importantly, we have not received any official supervision notice, so I have reason to suspect that you are posing as a supervision group with malicious intent. Faced with such a situation, we can only call the police to handle it.”
Hearing this, Yuan Xin’s expression changed and he hurriedly said, “Qingwei Daoist Priest, we are a joint university supervision group.”
“Hahaha.” Qingwei Daoist Priest could not help but laugh. Pointing at Chen Daoist Priest’s live-streaming mobile phone, he said, “Then in front of these forty thousand viewers…”
“Fifty thousand,” Chen Daoist Priest added.
The number of viewers had increased again.
Qingwei Daoist Priest corrected himself. “Right, ask these fifty thousand viewers what connection a university has with our Wudang. What qualifications does a university have to supervise Wudang? You can even say such an idiotic excuse. We have even more reason to suspect that you came to Wudang to cause damage.”
Almost as soon as Qingwei Daoist Priest finished speaking, the sound of police cars came, perfectly matching his words.
It was the staff from the tourist station stationed in the Wudang Mountain Scenic Area. Several vehicles arrived.
The officer leading the team walked directly up to Qingwei Daoist Priest. “Daoist priest, where are the troublemakers?”
Qingwei Daoist Priest directly pointed at Yuan Xin and the others. “Captain Zheng, it’s these people. They are posing as a supervision group to cause trouble here at Wudang. I am handing them over to you.”
The faces of Yuan Xin and the professors instantly changed dramatically.
This was going for total annihilation. The key was that under these circumstances, they really could not justify their position.
They had planned to use the name of a joint university supervision group. Even if the other side did not buy it, at worst they would just lose some face and still retreat intact.
But now the other side was not giving them any chance to retreat intact.
They were determined to wipe them out completely.
Crucially, the officers did not even question them. They came straight up and took them away.
They tried to speak, to explain, but the officers only said one thing: “Talk at the station.”
After that it was the same repeated line: “Talk at the station.”
Chen Daoist Priest naturally could not broadcast this scene, because without authorization he could not show police uniforms in the live stream, or he would end up like a certain notorious case.
However, he still let the scene flash by briefly to prove that these experts and professors were taken away by the officers.
Although the live room immediately received a warning, his mood was extremely good.
Instead, at this moment a girl suddenly shouted frantically, “Don’t arrest me, I can’t have a record, this has nothing to do with me. It was Professor Yuan. He went to the leaders to arrange the supervision group. The leaders ignored him, so he set it up privately. He also wanted to use this chance to take advantage of me, insisting I join as a member. I am also a victim.”
“???” Qingwei Daoist Priest.
“???” Chen Daoist Priest.
The two of them froze in unison, stunned.
An unexpected bonus?
Damn, this Professor Yuan was completely finished.
Chen Daoist Priest looked at the live room and saw the screen full of “beast-professor” comments.
Clearly, the people in the live room were also shocked by this huge scandal.
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Yuan Xin’s face changed even more dramatically and he shouted out, but an officer pushed him into the vehicle.
Only after all the police cars left did Qingwei Daoist Priest and Chen Daoist Priest watch from a distance, smiles appearing at the corners of their mouths.
After receiving the letter from the other side and seeing the list of supervision group members, they had done an investigation.
With Wudang’s current connections and financial resources, it was naturally not difficult to find out the relationship between these people and that group of experts and professors.
Their ancestors had been unable to stop certain things during special times, but by giving these people a harsh lesson now, it could be considered avenging their ancestors.
And of course, it also vented Wudang’s anger.
Especially with the revelations just made by that girl, tomorrow night would surely be very lively.
After that, the two of them did not hesitate and went straight to the area where the holly trees were being planted. Repairing the Feng Shui Formation Diagram was more important now.
And once Wudang’s people fully mobilized, their efficiency was extremely high.
By the next day, Qingwei Daoist Priest and Chen Daoist Priest had completely finished planting all the holly trees in that area.
At the same time, they had placed Feng Shui stones in all the required positions.
Similarly, after the Daoist priests clearly divided their tasks, they went all out in handling, arranging, and repairing those Feng Shui patterns.
It was not until dusk that all the Daoist priests finished dealing with the Feng Shui formations in their respective locations. Now only the final step remained.
That was the Golden Summit.
Because there were still lightning rods and a lightning net installed on the Golden Summit.
If these were not removed, the formation could not be fully repaired. So after dinner, all the Daoist priests followed Qingwei Daoist Priest up to the Golden Summit.
At this stage, they naturally had to complete the formation overnight, or else everyone would feel unbearably itchy with anticipation.
Moreover, the Daoist priests all looked up at the still-bright sky. It was a cloudy day, and dark clouds were gathering in the distance, drifting toward them.
Perhaps today they would witness the legendary Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit.
Chen Daoist Priest also had people carry a Feng Shui stone up.
This was to be placed inside the Golden Summit to complete the final step.
Qingwei led people to the front of the Golden Summit, bowed toward the interior, and then a Wudang Daoist priest stepped forward, moved out the small Statue of God inside, and carried the Feng Shui stone into the Golden Summit.
After that, the Wudang Daoist priests did not hesitate and directly began dismantling the lightning rods and lightning net.
The Wudang Daoist priests were full of energy, but over at the police station in the Wudang Mountain Scenic Area, Yuan Xin’s group was in an extremely miserable state.
Normally, detention at the station could only last twenty-four hours, but their act of posing as a supervision group could be considered serious or minor depending on circumstances. Clearly, instructions had been passed down about them, and they had also caused trouble in the scenic spot, violating relevant scenic area regulations.
So they were in an awkward situation and needed someone to bail them out.
Several of them asked the officers to call over a professor they all knew to bail them out together.
However, Yuan Xin was in an awkward position. He could not leave for the time being.
Because that girl, afraid of being implicated, had reported a case. A file had already been opened.
“Old Hong, thank you for coming this time. This whole thing is really hard to explain in a few words.” One professor sighed and thanked the professor who had bailed them out.
“Yes, thank you very much,” Yuan Xin echoed.
Then his expression turned gloomy.
This time he had really suffered a heavy loss. As for that female student, once this was over, he absolutely could not let her graduate and even had to get her expelled.
What she had said had no evidence at all. He was not afraid.
But Professor Hong looked at them awkwardly, especially at Yuan Xin. “Actually, you should first look at your situation online and adjust your mentality.”
As he spoke, there was sympathy in his eyes.
Hearing this, Yuan Xin and the others instinctively took out their mobile phones and went online to check.
Moments later, each of their faces turned extremely ugly. They had actually made it onto the trending searches, and on the hot search list at that.
《What kind of brainless professor actually went to guide so many purple-robed Daoist priests in writing scriptures!》
《Seriously, these professors have once again refreshed my understanding.》
《Look at that professor called Yuan Xin, such an idiot. I really do not know how he became a professor.》
《Haha, truly a beast-professor, even taking advantage of his own student.》
《……》
Seeing these hot search news items, several professors felt as if the sky was collapsing.
They were being mocked by the entire internet, and the insults were vicious.
Just reading them made them feel too ashamed to face anyone. For a moment, they all regretted coming with Yuan Xin.
Now they also realized they had been played by Wudang.
But what could they do?
It seemed there was nothing they could do. Just the online abuse alone was enough to crush them.
And their situation was still better, only having their reputations ruined and enduring harsh words. For Yuan Xin it was not so simple. His student’s accusations had already stirred up public opinion online.
Professor Hong reminded them again. “What is happening online is still a small matter. You should look at the announcements from your universities and institutions. That is what you really need to worry about.”
Hearing this, the professors instinctively searched, and moments later their faces turned even uglier.
They had all been given disciplinary demerits.
On what grounds?
Thinking of the culprit, they all turned toward Yuan Xin, only to see his face even worse than theirs, looking on the verge of tears.
Yuan Xin was nearly collapsing. The university had actually suspended him and publicly stated in the announcement that an internal investigation would be conducted.
He could almost be certain that while he was stuck in the Wudang special zone, people at the university would be working against him. After all, his position and ranking had surely attracted many eyes.
When he was present, he could still block and control some things. With him gone, it would be open season.
Why had it come to this?
In this situation, let alone stopping that female student from graduating, he himself was absolutely finished.
He truly regretted it now. If he had known Wudang was this ruthless, he would never have come.
He looked toward the Wudang Golden Summit with deep unwillingness.
From the location of the scenic area police station, the Golden Summit could be seen.
Because the Golden Summit sat atop Tianzhu Peak at high altitude, it could be seen from high, open areas with specific geography and terrain on both the south and north sides.
At this moment it was night, and the Golden Summit lay shrouded in darkness.
But just as Yuan Xin glared toward the Golden Summit, gritting his teeth, suddenly a bolt of lightning fell from the night sky, seeming to illuminate the surroundings of the Golden Summit.
Then his eyes widened in horror as he shouted, “Bastards, they have all been lying. They are repairing the Golden Summit right now.”
Not only him, the other professors also stared in disbelief in that instant toward the Golden Summit.
Because at the moment the lightning struck, they clearly saw a burst of golden light suddenly flare up at that spot on the Golden Summit, extremely dazzling in the dark night.
This miraculous scene almost left them dumbfounded, making them think it was an illusion.
But soon, another bolt of thunder-fire fell, striking a spot on the peak, and the golden light appeared again, blindingly bright in the darkness.
The professors instantly understood. What was said online was true. Those purple-robed Daoist priests had gathered to exchange knowledge on Feng Shui and to repair the Feng Shui formation of the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit.
Now they seemed to have completed it.
Not just them; many tourists staying overnight in the Wudang Mountain Scenic Area also saw that scene. Their eyes were filled with shock.
He Dong was one of them. He had come to Wudang Mountain on his annual leave. When he saw the news online about purple-robed Daoist priests gathering at Wudang to exchange Feng Shui knowledge and repair the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit, he had believed it. And when he learned the Golden Summit had recently been closed, he and other tourists had gone up to inquire.
But the two Daoist priests there spoke firmly, and what they said sounded very reasonable. So He Dong and the other tourists left and stopped paying attention to the matter.
Now what had he just seen?
The golden light that flared in the darkness was so dazzling, obviously just like in the legends.
He had heard many legends about the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit before and could only imagine it. Now, seeing it with his own eyes, he could directly feel that shock.
Had the Wudang Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit reappeared?
He also realized that those purple-robed Daoist priests had indeed been doing something. This definitely had to do with them.
Everyone had been deceived by them.
These Daoist priests were clearly up to something, yet they could still calmly say “believe in science”?
When they said “believe in science,” they themselves believed it.
He Dong instinctively took out his mobile phone and pointed it at the Golden Summit, hoping to record a video of the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit.
He was not the only one. Everyone who saw it was doing the same thing.
They had discovered the truth and naturally wanted to record evidence. They believed that once this evidence was posted online, it would cause a sensation.
Then they would see whether these Daoist priests still had the courage to say “believe in science.”
Finally, as many people began mobile phone recording, a third bolt of thunder-fire fell from the night sky, once again striking the Golden Summit and making that golden light burst forth, incomparably dazzling.
On the Golden Summit, the Daoist sect Daoist priests watched the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit spectacle from close range, all stunned, eyes wide with shock.
The thunder-fire landed on the Golden Summit, and the flaring golden light shot in all directions. It was overwhelmingly stunning, and the impact was immense.
Moreover, when the thunder-fire exploded, none of the dangers predicted by those professors appeared. The lightning did not blast outward; it was completely confined within the Golden Summit’s range.
All the Daoist priests understood that this was the effect of the Feng Shui formation.
So the designation of the Wudang Golden Summit as a lightning hazard had been a wrongful accusation?
Indeed, after more than six hundred years, there had been no so-called lightning hazard caused by the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit. How had it suddenly become a hazard?
Some cultured people were truly hateful. With a stroke of the pen and a line of writing, the nature of things, good or bad, became whatever they wrote.
Compared with the other Daoist priests, Chen Han had already shown an expression of complete astonishment when the first bolt of thunder-fire fell.
Because in that instant, he understood the true purpose of Patriarch Sanfeng’s Feng Shui Formation Diagram.
It was really quite impressive.
