Chapter 258: A Chen Clan Ancestral Skill? Exploding With A Martial Arts Manual!
Li Rui saw the cars rolling over on the road with all their tires blown, and he instinctively looked at Huang Xin and the Chen Family Head.
They went this far?
The key was, there were no tools around at all, so what method had the Chen Family Head used?
As for why he immediately thought of the Chen Family Head?
Of course it was because he knew very well that Huang Xin did not have that kind of ability.
“Pull everyone out of the cars and call ” Li Rui did not forget the serious matter and immediately gave orders to his men.
While his men were pulling people from the cars, he politely greeted Chen Han, then hurried over to Huang Xin and quietly asked, “What happened, how did all the cars get flipped?”
Huang Xin was still full of shock and whispered, “You might not believe it, but those people clearly tried to run down the Chen Family Head, and the Chen Family Head used some toothpicks to make their cars end up like this.”
Some toothpicks?
Li Rui was truly stunned. He immediately thought of the last time when that group had their bodies pierced through, and the toothpick traces left in the cabinet and walls.
He had inspected the scene with Huang Xin himself, so naturally they had omitted records and written statements as instructed by their leader.
What a joke, there was simply no way to explain that kind of thing.
For example, at this rollover scene now, could you write in the report that the Chen Family Head used some toothpicks to cause an explosion that flipped a car?
If people from another department had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe it, and the audit would never pass.
Even if they believed it and asked you to demonstrate, how would you demonstrate?
Tell them how powerful the Chen Family Head was? Whether they believed it or not was one thing, but if they did and asked the Chen Family Head to demonstrate?
If the Chen Family Head just said “believe in science”, all of them would be done for.
The key was, were all these Chen clan people this fierce?
That Old Daoist Priest had already done something shocking with toothpicks before.
And now the Chen Family Head was the same.
So the Chen clan were all skilled in this trick, right?
Li Rui and Huang Xin looked at each other and understood one another: would the Chen clan have to register every time they bought toothpicks from now on?
However, they obviously would not cause trouble for themselves and directly ignored it.
Instead, Li Rui said, “Captain Huang, I didn’t expect you to use the explosive chain so well, stopping the car in one go.”
“Just write it that way, I’ll take it.” Huang Xin sighed, then really walked to the trunk, took out an explosive chain, and tossed it beside the overturned car.
This was not the first time Li Rui and Huang Xin had handled a case like this. They even knew how to deal with dashcam footage.
Mainly, Huang Xin’s car had it, but those people’s cars did not have dashcams at all, since they were not idiots.
Li Rui was more curious about what was really going on behind this matter.
When he heard Huang Xin say that the cause was a pretty female Daoist priest trying to seduce the Chen Family Head, he remembered it, as he had seen the video online.
The female Daoist priest in the video was indeed pretty.
But as he listened to the later part, it became a bit fantastical.
The moment that female Daoist priest approached the Chen Family Head, she was exposed by him and directly made to tell the truth: she intended to take down the Chen Family Head, and then, through the Chen clan, send other women to hook up with that boss of the Zheng family and other big shots like him.
Honestly, when he heard that, he knew they were just like the longevity god hanging himself, seeking death.
Whether they were targeting the Chen Family Head or someone at the level of that Zheng family boss, it was a path to death.
When he heard that these people were not only organized in doing this, but were also connected with outside fraud and organ harvesting organizations, he knew this was a huge matter.
His professional instincts instantly told him what these people wanted to do.
If their plan had succeeded, that female Daoist priest would have gotten a hold over the Chen Family Head, and Old Master Zheng was currently at the Chen clan. If one day the eldest son came to visit and really got seduced by one of their women, and even more people later fell for it…
Then those outside fraud and organ harvesting organizations would be able to act recklessly in Qingmin District.
It would be the real-life version of “what is so great about Xiao Gao that has made you obsessed for so many years.”
So, no wonder these people dared to target them even knowing the Chen clan had so many miraculous aspects.
Once they succeeded, the revenue would be sky-high.
This “fortune favors the bold” mentality really could drive some people to their own deaths.
Then, when he heard that these people had escaped from the Ancient City Hotel, and the Chen Family Head had directly calculated that they would pass through here and had Huang Xin intercept them first, he truly went numb.
Looking at this series of facts, there was not a single sentence they could put into the records.
No matter how they described it, it would be tinged with metaphysics and would not be accepted.
This was really troublesome.
It looked like he and the brothers on the scene would have to suffer again.
To arrest this group, from the moment they received the information and set up control, they had eaten how many instant noodles and stayed up how many nights, and only with the cooperation of the Chen Family Head had they finally caught them today.
Tell him, were they and the brothers who made the arrest suffering or not?
Chen Han quietly watched the two of them perform, understanding that they were wrapping things up.
As long as the matter did not trouble him, and he did not need to waste breath saying “believe in science”, that was good.
At this time, everyone in the cars had been pulled out.
A middle-aged woman and several strong men; under normal circumstances, the number already exceeded the car’s capacity.
One by one, they were pulled out in an unconscious state, but since they knew what these people had tried to do and the organizations involved, they were all first put in silver handcuffs.
When the people were pulled out, Chen Han was also drawn by what was inside the car: a cluster of white light floated there.
It was clearly an item drop.
Su Yu, that Saintess of the Joyful Union Sect, had not dropped anything, yet these people had dropped one. Aside from drop rate issues, it should be that one of them counted as a boss-level figure.
At least a leader above the small fry.
Just the teacher who trained Su Yu should count as an elite elder.
Li Rui and Huang Xin could not see it.
Acting casual, he stepped forward to check, stored the item in the game warehouse, then showed a trace of joy on his face.
What had dropped was useless to him personally, but it could entirely serve as an item of the Chen clan inheritance.
At this time, Li Rui and Huang Xin came over. With respect, Huang Xin said, “Chen Family Head, we can take care of the rest from here. I will drive you back to the Chen clan now.”
“Alright.” Chen Han did not refuse, got back into Huang Xin’s car, and returned to the Chen clan as he started the engine.
In the car, Chen Han looked at the item that had dropped.
It was another book; to be precise, a skill book. Of course, in Shu Shan Swordsman, skills were not stored in jade slips but in books, so it was certainly not some high-level item.
Cultivators’ cultivation methods were stored in jade slips.
【Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg: this is a Daoist sect leg technique cultivated by outer disciples of the Wu Tai sect. It is not a cultivation method but a relatively profound leg technique of the ordinary martial world, yet for those outer disciples, it is already very rare.
This leg technique is renowned for its strong combat effectiveness and legs as swift as the chasing wind, and it has been passed down in the Daoist martial world for hundreds of years.
Note: it requires medicinal cuisine, medicinal herbs, medicinal wine, and other martial arts assistance items to cultivate. Only then can internal force be developed, or else it will be mediocre and ineffective! 】
This Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg was indeed completely useless to Chen Han.
However, it would still be suitable as a family inheritance item.
Previously he had been thinking about the issue of inheritance levels. Under the current circumstances, only a few of them cultivated actual cultivation methods.
Because of the special spiritual apertures and factors of modern society, these cultivation methods definitely would not be passed to other clan members, at least not for now.
So others, such as members of the Chen Clan Demon Subjugation Hall, just followed Chen Dagou in cultivating the original Chen clan palm, leg, and sword techniques.
Those were not very useful in themselves; every Daoist sect had similar things.
Chen Dagou and Chen Lin could produce power with them only because they ate medicinal cuisine every day, had strong physiques, and could crush others with strength and speed. Even random Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms could knock people down.
Now, with this leg technique, it counted as true national martial arts. After all, leg work could be trained to develop internal force. That should be more advanced than the so-called internal force of that online Tongbei Fist lineage, right?
This could be given to ordinary clan members to cultivate.
Moreover, it was not a problem if it spread out. Others without the supporting medicinal herbs, medicinal cuisine, and medicinal wine would not be able to train much.
Conveniently, the Chen clan now had these things.
Medicinal cuisine could not be given to ordinary clan members, but medicinal herbs could be refined into body tempering pills, and the spirit field herbs would soon be ready for initial use. The body tempering pills refined then would be even more effective, and he planned to have Chen Dalong test them.
There was also medicinal wine, Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine, which could strengthen the leg muscles and matched the 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》 perfectly.
The key point was that You Cai offered demonic beast meat every day, mostly Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse Meat, with bones suitable for soaking in wine.
So, with this, the Chen clan would lack neither medicinal wine nor medicinal herbs.
Once Chen Dalong’s trial succeeded, they would send him to martial arts competitions, and then, for the Chen Clan Demon Subjugation Hall to truly serve a guarding role, they would train in the 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》.
Once this leg technique was well trained, it would indeed be as swift as the chasing wind. Not only powerful, but also fast, and it seemed they might even cultivate a track sprinter.
Isn’t it commonly said that the 100 meters in track and field is a forbidden zone for people from this country, a holy altar marking the difference between races?
Though that saying is unpleasant and used by foreigners to belittle them, there is no way around it.
In modern times, aside from that one retired athlete, there really has not been a domestic athlete who could reach the 100-meter finals on the international stage, let alone place.
In truth, you could not entirely blame foreign contempt for using this way to look down on them. At this stage, not to mention reaching an international final, not to mention the top 20 in the world,
In the 100 meters, there was not even one domestic runner in the top 100 global rankings.
The best domestic result ranked 399th.
So, it was time to let people see what a Chen Clan Prodigy was.
In physique they might not match some other races, but when it came to cultivation and metaphysics, those black and white people were nothing.
The car soon arrived at the Chen Clan Parking Lot.
When Chen Han got out, he happened to see Daoist Priest Chen and his senior brother, along with the young Daoist priest from Wudang, walking into the parking lot.
They were apparently heading back to Wudang.
In addition to carrying the original Feng Shui Books, the young Daoist priest also had two newly compiled Feng Shui Books and a bamboo tube.
Inside, of course, was Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, a gift from the Chen clan to these Daoist priests.
After all, their main purpose in coming to the Chen clan was the Feng Shui matter. Now that the Feng Shui Books were compiled, their goal had been achieved, and they were supposed to return.
Attending the commencement ceremony for Qingfeng Daoist Priest’s Palace yesterday had already been an unexpected situation.
Now they naturally needed to rush back to Wudang and take part in the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit project. If they could restore that Feng Shui formation, their generation would not have failed their ancestors.
“Chen Family Head.” Daoist Priest Chen and the others smiled and greeted him when they saw Chen Han return.
“Daoist Priest Chen, are you heading back now?” Chen Han politely asked.
“Yes, there are important matters waiting at Wudang.” Daoist Priest Chen nodded.
Chen Han did not ask more. Seeing they were leaving, he escorted them at the parking lot, helped them into the car, and saw them out of the Chen clan.
He did not expect that just after sending off Daoist Priest Chen, Daoist Priest Xuan Shi and his junior brother Daoist Master Xuan Xin also arrived, likewise to catch a ride out.
They too carried Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea gifted by the Chen clan.
Naturally, Chen Han also saw them off, then returned to his own courtyard. Su Yu had already been taken away by Huang Xin’s men, those people’s issue had been resolved, the red dot had disappeared, but there was no prompt that the task was complete.
It should be as before: Li Rui and Huang Xin needed to deal with them through proper procedures and open a case before the system would prompt task completion.
Chen Han then took out the 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》 and started reading.
The book was clearly an ancient book. As for what specific year the system assigned it, he was not an archaeology expert and could not tell.
However, just like the 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》, it was one of the Chen clan’s foundations.
Moreover, this Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg had a unique breathing method and special methods to align breath and force.
Roughly, it meant that the power and force of the kick had to align with a specific breathing method to produce maximum effect.
This actually had a scientific explanation. For example, in track training, there were basic methods like inhaling every two steps, exhaling every two steps, and the more advanced three steps per inhale and three steps per exhale.
Then there were even harder mouth-nose coordinated breathing techniques.
But those were still relatively simple. The breathing-force coordination methods in the 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》 were many times more difficult and more complex.
All of this required training.
There were also specific leg techniques and special movements to strengthen leg power and speed.
It was not as exaggerated as the so-called ancient martial arts in novels. Instead, it had a scientific nature.
Naturally, the core was still strength and speed, determined by leg strength and leg muscle groups.
And that required supporting medicinal herbs, medicinal cuisine, and medicinal wine.
So the core was clear.
Without supportive items, it was just ordinary physical training.
…
At noon, when they ate medicinal cuisine, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mi were clearly in a very good mood. Xiao Yu came in, saw her senior brother, and happily said, “Senior brother, that Su Yu really has been arrested and directly taken away by the police.”
She was obviously delighted.
To her, that Su Yu was a loose woman who wanted to seduce her senior brother, and now she was going to jail, right?
Xiao Mi was certainly the most satisfied, though she definitely could not say why.
Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng also came.
Chen Lin sat down, finished a bowl of medicinal cuisine, and then reported to Chen Han, “Xiao Han, construction at the mountain’s spirit spring has already begun, but building the mountain path up there will require a lot of money. If we want to use blue stone slabs, the cost will be even higher.”
“I asked Chen Xiaoyan. She said we need to write an application letter, and the budget for this construction is big. There might not be enough money in her account.”
Chen Han nodded, understanding what his uncle meant.
The name of the spirit spring had already been established, and facilities on the mountain were being built. So the construction of the mountain path could not be sloppy. Just hoeing away some weeds and making a wider dirt path would not be acceptable.
That would not match the desired class. At the very least, there had to be neat, solemn blue stone slab steps, one step at a time, like the Daoist temple stairways of Wudang and Longhu Mountain.
But that would indeed cost a huge amount of money. The funds in Chen Xiaoying’s account were needed for taxes, salaries, daily benefits, and daily construction and maintenance.
That sum definitely could not be used.
So it still had to come from his account. But that might leave insufficient money for upgrades, unless a fated person came along soon to be “persuaded.”
Just then, Xiao Yu suddenly said, “This should not be a problem. Director Chen from the culture and tourism bureau called me earlier and said there is a tourism support fund approved by the city, a considerable amount. He asked me to handle the handover and procedures and said it can be used to develop the back mountain.”
When Chen Lin heard this, he immediately urged, “Xiao Yu, go to the county in the afternoon and get it settled, so I can start recruitment. Developing the back mountain will need a lot of people.”
“Got it, uncle.” Xiao Yu nodded.
Chen Han understood very well where this tourism support fund came from.
Now that tourism economy was flourishing, it was not strange to have tourism funds. But the fact it was specially granted by the city and of considerable size obviously had something to do with Old Master Zheng’s eldest son.
Moreover, being able to give it to the Chen clan so openly, with full procedures to be done, meant the process was ironclad and left no room for criticism.
At this moment, Chen Han took out the 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》 and placed it on the table.
This scene immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Xiao Yu asked curiously, “Senior brother, what kind of leg technique is this 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》? Why have I never practiced it before?”
Chen Han explained, “I was flipping through our books and found it in a corner. It is a good leg technique, much stronger than the Chen clan’s previous fist and leg techniques. All of you can practice it. With your current physiques, it will not be too hard.”
“Also, this leg technique is different from your cultivation methods. Those cultivation methods are family secrets and cannot be passed out, but this leg technique can be passed to other clan members. Anyone who wants to practice can practice it.”
“However, the family needs to train people specifically. Uncle Dagou, I’ll leave this to you. From now on, everyone in the Chen Clan Demon Subjugation Hall will practice it.”
A look of joy immediately appeared on Uncle Dagou’s face. “Xiao Han, leave it to me.”
He had long felt that the people in the Demon Subjugation Hall were too weak. Even after learning the Chen clan’s fist and leg techniques, it was the same. Now with this 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》, their strength could be improved.
Since Xiao Han said this technique was better, then it certainly was.
Chen Han also instructed Xiao Yu, “Junior sister, in the next couple of days, go check the medicinal herbs in the spirit field and refine a batch of Body Tempering Pills. I plan to have Dalong try this technique first, and then we can move forward with sending him to martial arts competitions.”
“Also, help me find another young clan member, preferably 16 to 18 years old, still in school, with athletic advantages, or already training in sports.”
He intended to have this clan member run the 100 meters, and due to competition regulations, younger age would be better, as long as it met the entry requirements.
Xiao Yu did not know her senior brother’s real aim, but she still agreed. With so many Chen clan households, finding such a young member would not be hard.
Once the news spread, anyone who fit the criteria would come forward on their own.
Sure enough, after lunch, Xiao Yu posted this announcement in the family group: “For family martial arts training needs, we are looking within the clan for a 16- to 18-year-old with athletic advantages, preferably already training in sports!”
In an instant, the family group became lively.
By now, all the clan members knew the Chen clan had true kung fu, though not everyone could learn it.
The implication of this notice was that whoever was selected could learn the family’s true kung fu?
Who would not pay attention? Families with children in that age range became anxious.
For them, being able to learn the family inheritance martial arts meant truly rising within the clan.
