Chapter 122: Really Enlightened? An Unexpected Surprise!
Not only did that girl blurt out “damn”, the other tourists who had followed over were also stunned stiff by this scene.
Who could tell them what kind of principle made two oxen take the initiative to run over and kneel to a person?
Let alone these tourists, even Chen Jun and Chen Dalong were standing there with their mouths wide open.
Although Sixth Uncle had previously said in a video that the Chen Clan’s beast taming technique could control a herd of cattle, actually seeing it with their own eyes made it really hard to stay calm.
Beast taming technique was something they had never been qualified to know about since childhood.
Moo moo!~
Moo moo!~
As the two oxen knelt, they did not forget to call out toward Chen Han, showing their submission.
At this moment, Chen Han also got down from You Fu’s back, held his mobile phone, and slowly walked to the two old oxen. At the same time, he said, “Since you have entered my Chen Clan, it means you are fated with the Chen Clan. Now I grant you a spirit fruit to help you transcend the mundane!”
As he spoke, he had already handed over two rat spirit fruits.
The two old oxen had obviously long been attracted by these two rat spirit fruits. They immediately stretched out their heads, each ox biting one fruit into its mouth, then chewing and swallowing it.
“The spirit fruit has been granted. Lie down and properly refine it!” Holding his phone, Chen Han turned the lens toward the two old oxen as he spoke. Following his words, the two old oxen really did lie down.
They felt the benefits of the rat spirit fruit. They were now being transformed, just like You Fu before.
This scene truly dumbfounded those tourists. It was really that whatever the Chen Family Head said, the two oxen cooperated with.
“How did the Chen Family Head get these two oxen to cooperate with him like that?”
“Do they not know the Chen Family Head has beast taming technique?”
“…”
The tourists started whispering in surprise.
The two old oxen lay there for a long time, until Chen Han received a game prompt:
【Congratulations, you have subdued two old oxen with the Green Ox bloodline, and fed them spirit fruits, awakening their bloodline and granting them special abilities: spiritual wisdom root +2, guardian +2, guidance +2, worldly sense +2!】
Along with this prompt,
the two old oxen climbed up again. This time, not only did their front legs kneel, but their heads were firmly pressed to the ground, a display of complete obedience.
Chen Han filmed this whole scene and said his closing line, “Now that you have joined the Chen Clan, from today on you are the Chen Clan’s guardian spirit oxen.”
“As for your names, you will be You Lu and You Shou!”
That completed Fu, Lu, and Shou.
Moo moo!~
Moo moo!~
Because the two old oxen had eaten the rat spirit fruit produced by the game, they, like You Fu, formed a slight special connection with him, and clearly understood his words.
After filming, Chen Han put away his phone, then checked the two old oxen’s attributes: there were four, but one attribute was different from You Fu’s.
You Fu had curiosity +The two old oxen did not have curiosity +Instead, they had an extra worldly sense +
But how could an ox have worldly sense?
He did not know how to test this kind of attribute either, so he could only observe later.
After that, he once again mounted You Fu’s back and had him head back.
Chen Jun and Chen Dalong hurried to follow, while the two old oxen also stood up at this time and followed behind them as well.
When Chen Han returned to his own courtyard again and looked at the two old oxen, he felt troubled.
With two more old oxen, the courtyard would no longer have enough space. He could not have them stay in the original cattle shed either; that place was too dirty and messy.
Besides, with these two old oxen’s attributes, they would probably follow You Fu to receive guests. That meant they had to stay clean, and would need to be washed regularly.
There had to be dedicated staff to handle this.
So he looked at the two clan heavenly prodigies following him. “Xiao Jun, Dalong, I have a task for you. Build a new cattle shed for You Fu, You Lu, and You Shou next to my courtyard. Ask my uncle for manpower. Also, bathe them more often in the future. When they receive tourists, they must be clean.”
The two prodigies received the order without hesitation and went to work at once.
After lunch with medicinal cuisine, Chen Han took out his phone and started editing the video of enlightening the spirit oxen.
The editing for this video was very simple. He only needed to remove some noise, cut out or speed up the boring middle parts, and keep the highlights.
For example, the travel segment in the middle could be put in fast forward mode.
He finished editing in little time, then directly uploaded it to the Chen Family Head account with the title: 《Spirit oxen stray into the clan, family head sighs at fate and enlightens them!》
The consecration ceremony was tomorrow, and with the alchemy video banned, this spirit oxen enlightenment video would keep the popularity going.
In fact, the alchemy video ban had already been seen by many people and even stirred a small wave online.
After all, that alchemy video was really abstract from the start. Others imitated it and ended up in the hospital. That did not really have anything to do with this Chen Family Head; it was just that the little internet celebrity was stupid.
This was how Yi Jin noticed him. He was someone who made a living clipping videos, previously clipping a very popular male streamer, but now that male streamer had fallen.
Because his “fund verification PK” reward streams had corrupted social conduct and were suspected of fraud, the higher-ups had publicly criticized him and his account had been banned.
This time, a large batch of top-tier internet celebrities might be in trouble.
So he had to find a new internet celebrity to clip.
He had just been drawn in by the matter of the Chen Family Head’s alchemy video being banned, and the video was still circulating online.
He watched it and felt that this Chen Family Head was really abstract.
Someone actually used a pressure cooker for alchemy.
Since it was entertaining, he followed this Chen Family Head. He did not expect that right after following, he would see a new video.
《Spirit oxen stray into the clan, family head sighs at fate and enlightens them》.
Seeing this title, he was sure it was another abstract video.
Only, when he saw the two oxen actually kneel to the Chen Family Head and cooperate with whatever he said, the impact on him was huge.
What surprised him even more were many of the early comments:
“The Chen Clan’s beast taming technique really can control many oxen.”
“The Chen Clan’s spirit beast elder said so before. Sure enough, they were not lying!”
“…”
It seemed many comments did not find this strange. The three words “beast taming technique” piqued his curiosity, so he opened this Chen Family Head’s videos, and the more he watched, the stranger his expression became.
The Chen Family Head’s videos were indeed very abstract, but there seemed to be real skills hidden in the absurdity, such as parkour-style lightness skill and beast taming technique, as well as ancient techniques that looked like magic.
But the sword control technique and that alchemy and cloud barrier technique were clearly fake.
The sword control technique was obviously fake at a glance; such a thing was impossible. As for the alchemy, no need to mention it: people ended up in the hospital trying his formula. Otherwise, the Chen Family Head’s video would not have been banned.
However, the more he watched this Chen Family Head’s videos, the stronger the urge he felt: to make clips of this Chen Family Head. A blogger who was both abstractly entertaining and had some real skills had the potential to explode in popularity. There would definitely be viewers for those clips.
In Qingmin City, an old master was also carefully watching this video. It was Old Master Wang, whose eyes had just been cured.
Beside him, Wang Xinhe put down his mobile phone after operating it for a while and said, “Dad, I’ve booked a detached courtyard at the Chen Clan. Tomorrow we can first attend their Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation consecration ceremony, stay one night, and then go fulfill our vow to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.”
Old Master Wang said with deep emotion, “That Chen Family Head is a remarkable man. Those oxen really knelt to him and let him enlighten them.”
Wang Xinhe nodded. If it had been before, he would only have marveled at how miraculous the beast taming technique was. But after his father’s eye treatment, he felt that maybe the Chen Family Head really had enlightened those oxen.
After all, the Chen Clan had made a blessing prayer for his father at the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall, and his father’s eyes had now basically fully recovered.
…
After uploading the video, Chen Han kept an eye on its stats. Seeing it reach thirty thousand likes in just one hour, he knew the video was going to blow up. Getting five hundred thousand likes should be no problem.
After putting down his phone, he did not see the Fu Lu Shou three oxen anywhere. He got up, left the courtyard, and headed for the Chen Clan Main Entrance. As expected, he saw the three oxen coming out of the Chen Clan from the tourist center side.
Seeing this, he did not even need to guess that You Fu was teaching his parents how to receive guests.
These were animals that had basically become spirit creatures.
He also walked out of the Chen Clan to observe the Fu Lu Shou three oxen.
Because the Chen Clan’s promotional video for tomorrow’s Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation consecration ceremony had been released, many people had come specifically for this ceremony.
People who had booked Feng Shui Rooms were also arriving one after another.
Zhao Ying was one of those who came for this ceremony.
She believed in these things. In the past, she had been unlucky in whatever she did. Later, her family took her to a Daoist temple, where a Daoist priest took her eight characters and changed her name. After that, things went smoothly.
After she got out at the Chen Clan Parking Lot, she looked toward the three oxen that had just walked out of the Chen Clan and saw them walking toward a group of tourists who had just gotten off a bus.
She had just seen the video of the Chen Family Head enlightening those two oxen while in the car. Had those two oxen really come out to receive guests so soon?
Just as she was wondering, she heard the calf mooing toward those tourists. Anyone who had done their Chen Clan research knew this meant the calf wanted them to follow, to lead them to the Tourist Service Center.
People said being received by these oxen was a sign of good luck. Many who encountered them would take out their phones to record videos and post them to Moments.
Those tourists had clearly done their research and were about to follow, but two children in the group started making a fuss.
“Dad, I want to ride the ox!”
“Dad, I want to ride the ox too!”
The children’s fussing left the two fathers helpless. They only knew the Chen Clan oxen could receive guests; they had no idea if they could be ridden.
The key thing was, they did not know how to let the children get on, and what if it was dangerous?
The two little girls’ noise clearly attracted the three oxen.
Seeing that these people were not following, You Fu mooed twice again, apparently urging them.
But the two old oxen seemed to understand something, and walked straight to the two children and lowered their heads.
This startled several adult tourists, but the two children were instantly captivated and actively, curiously petted the old oxen’s big horns and heads.
The two old oxen did not resist, and then they did something that amazed all the surrounding tourists.
They lowered their heads even further, to a height that allowed the two children to climb onto their heads.
The two children did exactly that.
Only after the children were on their heads did the old oxen raise them up, letting the children smoothly end up on their backs.
One of the old oxen mooed at the nearby tourists, then the three oxen walked toward the Chen Clan.
Many tourists around them were amazed and recorded this scene.
Those tourists followed in a daze.
“Do they understand the children’s fussing?”
“Th-this is too incredible…”
“……”
Zhao Ying was also stunned. Was this really beast taming technique?
Note that the Chen Family Head was not here. Without him controlling them, it should not count as beast taming technique, right?
Could it be that these two oxen really had been enlightened by the Chen Family Head?
Chen Han also saw this scene, and the worldly sense +2 attribute flashed through his mind.
What the two old oxen had just done was worldly sense enough, right?
He watched the two old oxen from a distance for a while longer. Seeing that they had already gotten the hang of things under You Fu’s lead, he was no longer worried. Not long after, he received a call from his uncle saying that the things for soaking medicinal wine were ready and had been placed in his courtyard.
Chen Han put away his phone and headed back to his courtyard. On the way, he ran into a girl in hanfu who was leading a group of tourists and introducing, “Dear tourists, the Chen Clan has a very long history. Look at the Eight Trigrams cloud patterns on this building…”
This girl seemed to be Chen Jun’s girlfriend, the one who often posted their affection in Moments. She was now working as a guide in the Chen Clan, effectively a tour guide.
Lin Xiaoxiao liked this guide job at the Chen Clan very much. First, the salary was five thousand, plus bonuses would be higher. Second, it was easier than being a waitress.
Also, the Chen Clan was very beautiful. After learning some of its history, she felt the Chen Clan was impressive, so introducing it to tourists came easily to her.
Seeing the Chen Family Head, she rushed to greet him respectfully. “Family Head!”
“Mm.” Chen Han politely nodded and continued walking toward his courtyard.
Those tourists were obviously drawn to him, their eyes full of curiosity.
Back in the courtyard, he saw the jars, liquor, and medicinal herbs for soaking wine that his uncle had placed there. He checked them and confirmed nothing was missing, then went to the warehouse to get Golden Jade Angelica Bark and began soaking it.
When he sealed a jar of medicinal wine and stored it in a room, it was already dusk.
Before dinner, he went again to the water reservoir at the offering flower sea and once more refined spirit plant dew, then started watering.
With another watering, by tomorrow those offering flowers would definitely grow a big section again.
After finishing all this, he went to his uncle’s place for dinner. During the meal, he, his uncle, and his junior sister discussed the details of tomorrow’s consecration ceremony while checking for any omissions.
After all, this was the first time the Chen Clan had held such a ceremony. Nothing could go wrong. If this one went poorly, how would they manage bigger national style events in the future?
Time passed.
The next day, awakened by the alarm clock, Chen Han stopped his cultivation and checked the spirit oxen enlightenment video’s data, as well as his fans and reputation stats.
Likes: 568,452
Fans: 895,
Reputation: （825,000/500,000）
His reputation was growing, and his fan count was close to breaking one million. After today’s consecration ceremony, he should be able to become a million-fan internet celebrity.
The spirit oxen enlightenment video had already surpassed five hundred thousand likes early this morning, exceeding his expectations.
This made him look at the comment section in surprise, and then he understood the reason:
“If I only watched this video, I would just say the Chen Family Head’s beast taming technique is impressive, but then I saw the video of the two old oxen carrying children.”
“Seeing the video of the two oxen comforting and carrying children, I saw the oxen’s worldly sense!”
“I suspect these two oxen really have been enlightened by the Chen Family Head!”
“……”
Apparently, the video of the old oxen carrying children shot by tourists had gone viral, and a quick search confirmed it.
After understanding the situation, Chen Han washed up and headed out for the special spiritual aperture.
Today his junior sister and uncle had arrived even earlier than he had. They were obviously more enthusiastic than him.
As the spiritual energy rinsed over him, he circulated the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture basic qi cultivation method》 to absorb spiritual energy and cultivate.
…
County Culture and Tourism Bureau.
Because the Chen Clan had the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation consecration ceremony event today, Chen Kai was paying close attention. He arrived at the office very early.
Ma Qi, who was responsible for liaising with the Chen Clan, had also arrived early, along with several other culture and tourism staff.
The bureau was not officially at work yet at this hour, but they had to go early to the Chen Clan to inspect the situation.
After all, today’s consecration ceremony at the Chen Clan was crucial for the future. Not only were they watching, the top county leaders were watching too.
Once everyone had arrived, Chen Kai led them into the car and headed straight to the Chen Clan. It was only around nine when they arrived.
By this time, they could already see many tourists at the Chen Clan gate, along with many who had just gotten off vehicles.
“Director Chen, clearly today it’s not just people who booked rooms at the Chen Clan,” Ma Qi immediately said. “Many stayed in the county and took taxis over early this morning.”
“Mm, let’s go in.” Chen Kai smiled broadly. This showed the consecration ceremony’s appeal was quite good.
The group walked into the Chen Clan. Since they were there to coordinate and observe, the Chen Clan had arranged the reception hall of the Tourist Service Center for their activities today.
As they headed toward the Tourist Service Center, someone was suddenly attracted by the flower bed at the side. “Huh, these are peonies, lilies… something’s wrong with these flowers. It’s not the right time for them to bloom.”
Chen Kai and Ma Qi were immediately drawn over and even froze for a moment before walking together to the flower bed.
They both knew that the Chen Clan’s offering flower sea and the offering flowers in these flower beds had been planted at the same time.
They had previously known these flowers would need at least two more months to bloom at the earliest, and that peonies, in particular, were not supposed to bloom in this season.
They had once regretted that the Chen Clan had chosen the wrong flowers. Otherwise, with a flower sea project, the Chen Clan would have gained a great extra attraction.
And now what were they seeing?
The offering flowers in these flower beds had all grown buds. The bud sizes differed by flower type, but they were clearly about to bloom.
Just what kind of varieties had the Chen Family Head planted? Their blooming season was different from normal varieties.
Judging by the scale of the buds, in another fifteen to twenty days they should be in full bloom. Then the Chen Clan’s offering flower sea could open.
It was a truly unexpected surprise.
Fifteen to twenty days would pass very quickly!
