Chapter 290: The Feng Shui Formation Is Complete! Believe In Science!
Daoist Priest Qingwei and several junior brothers stared dumbfounded at the video turning into a snowflake pattern.
They had wanted to see how the Chen Family Head constructed the Feng Shui formation, so it could provide some reference for later repairing the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit Formation.
But in the end they could not see anything at all?
In the next moment, the video connection was also cut off.
They knew it had disconnected because there was no signal.
At the Chen Clan Back Mountain Summit, Daoist Priest Chen also saw the disconnected video and the no-network reminder, and then he was attracted by the scene before his eyes.
The Chen Family Head’s palm was already pressed on that Feng Shui Stone, and the Five Emperors Sword raised in his hand was trembling at this moment, as if some kind of power was condensing and erupting.
In the next moment, violent winds suddenly rose around the Chen Family Head, sweeping up countless fallen leaves, as if converging into a giant dragon of fallen leaves, circling madly around his body and soaring.
Chen Lin and the Chen Clan people were all pushed backward by a strong airflow.
Chen Lin was fine; after all, he had eaten so much medicinal cuisine and cultivated the Chen Clan Basic Qi Cultivation Method, and had already successfully guided true qi into his dantian.
Those Chen Clan people really almost could not stand steady, their faces full of shock as they looked at the violent wind before them and the family head entwined by that wind and flying dragon of leaves.
Even if they had heard many mysterious legends about the family head, it was also the first time they had seen such a scene, their faces full of disbelief.
In the next moment, they saw that violent wind abruptly stagnate, and the gathered fallen leaves all dropped down at once in that instant.
Everyone thought all this strangeness had ended, when suddenly a gust of wind blew from above down the mountain.
They could even see that the densely falling leaves were blown to drift in one direction, like a curved arc.
Even though Daoist Priest Chen was a famous person who had cultivated in the Daoist Sect for a long time, and had read many extremely mysterious records in the Daoist Scriptures, he was also stirred at this moment.
He could clearly see that the wind blowing down the mountain drove the dense trees, swaying like wheat in the wind; it was extremely spectacular.
…
In one area of the Chen Clan rapeseed flower sea.
Bao Jing brought several professors here again.
Or rather, during this period they came here every day to collect some rapeseed.
The Chen Clan’s rapeseed was growing denser and plumper, and in some areas the flowers were already very few, and the rapeseed had been harvested.
They came today clearly looking a bit hurried and anxious.
Even Chu Ping personally accompanied these professors over.
Because after testing the rapeseed they brought back yesterday, these professors discovered a shocking fact: the oil content of this rapeseed had already exceeded that of normal rapeseed.
He naturally understood what this represented.
The growth speed was already faster, the yield even higher, and now even the oil content was higher. This was exactly the finished product the higher-ups had always wanted.
They had previously discussed it with that Liu Dong, and now the land for planting the next batch of Chen Clan rapeseed flowers had already been planned, just waiting to get in touch with the Chen Clan.
Next, Linhe County was going to take off.
How high it could fly depended on how high the oil content of this rapeseed could be.
Bao Jing and these professors naturally also wanted to know how high this rapeseed’s oil content really was.
Even though they knew they had to wait for the rapeseed to dry before getting accurate numbers, they just could not help coming to collect rapeseed for testing every day.
Moreover, they had now basically confirmed the three special elements contained within that special substance, which respectively affected growth speed, rapeseed quantity, and oil content.
But as for what that special substance actually was, they really could not detect it at all.
Just as they had collected some rapeseed, Bao Jing and the others heard exclamations from the tourists around them:
“Why did it suddenly get so windy?”
“Yeah, under such a big sun.”
“The demon wind came out of nowhere.”
“…”
Bao Jing and Chu Ping were attracted and subconsciously looked over, and they also felt a gust sweep past, as if the surrounding rapeseed flowers were being blown to topple to one side.
Their clothes were also wrinkled by the wind; they could feel the pressure of it.
But this wind came fast and went fast, really like those tourists said, a gust of demon wind.
“Professors, have you finished collecting rapeseed? Should we head back now?” Chu Ping asked, then suddenly froze, feeling something very strange.
It seemed that in that instant his whole body felt much more comfortable, with a kind of pleasant ease, and even though the sun was blazing right now, he felt a kind of coolness here.
This made him laugh at himself for having such an illusion.
It should have been because of that gust just now. After all, under a blazing sun, if a fierce wind suddenly hits, sometimes you break out in a bit of cold sweat, and in that instant your body feels a wave of coolness.
This is a normal reaction when the body regulates its temperature, because the wind quickly takes away the heat on the skin’s surface. Even if the ambient temperature is high, the body, due to this local cooling, can trigger sweat gland secretion, creating a feeling of cold sweat.
Chu Ping did not pay it any more attention and walked toward the car with Bao Jing and several professors, but as they walked he felt something was wrong.
Because that coolness was still there.
This was abnormal.
If it had been cold sweat from the strong wind, it should also come and go quickly.
Now, having walked over here, he still felt very cool, and more importantly, it was extremely comfortable. If it had been caused by cold sweat, it would not feel like this.
“Do you feel it suddenly got a lot cooler, even though we are still under the blazing sun?” Bao Jing suddenly asked.
Another professor said in surprise, “Professor Bao, you feel that too? I thought it was because I broke out in a cold sweat.”
This made Chu Ping freeze too. It was not just him? Professor Bao and the others felt the same.
Beside them, a passing tourist exclaimed:
“Do you feel it suddenly got a lot cooler?”
“Yeah, I feel it too!”
Chu Ping and Professor Bao’s group looked at each other; they all sensed something was off.
One professor even stretched out his hand. “The sun is obviously still this strong.”
With the same sun, it suddenly became comfortably cool. If it was not them being strange, then it meant something was strange with the Chen Clan.
Chu Ping could almost be sure that something must have happened at the Chen Clan.
Just like when the construction team previously dug up a stone tablet, and the Chen Family Head set up the tablet and the air quality improved.
Maybe the Chen Family Head had erected some stone tablet again.
“Should we go ask that Chen Family Head?” Bao Jing said subconsciously. After researching this Chen Clan rapeseed, he increasingly felt the Chen Clan was not simple.
The special substance in the rapeseed seemed less and less like something that should exist in the mortal world.
“Not worth asking. The Chen Family Head will definitely tell you to believe in science,” Chu Ping knew that family head very well and added, “He might even ask you in return, ‘I believe in science, professor, how come you don’t?’”
“Uh…” Bao Jing was instantly stunned.
Just from Chu Ping’s description, he could imagine how awkward that scene would be.
Just imagine: someone dealing with metaphysics and someone dealing with science both saying to believe in science, yet as the scientist he had no way to refute.
That was maddening.
So Bao Jing felt it was better to go back to the county first and test this batch of rapeseed.
In the car, because it was cool outside, they did not even need to turn on the air conditioner, just drove with the windows down, feeling extremely comfortable.
After getting in, Chu Ping immediately picked up his mobile phone to search for news about the Chen Clan.
With this sudden change in the Chen Clan, he felt that on Douyin there might be some useful information.
After all, there were so many tourists, and the Chen Clan currently had such high popularity.
Sure enough, after searching, he saw that someone had posted a video of the Chen Family Head and Daoist Priest Chen leading the Chen Clan people in erecting stones.
There were also patterns carved into those stones.
“I knew it.” Chu Ping could not help speaking.
This was exactly the same as the stone tablet unearthed last time.
So this change in the Chen Clan was definitely because the Chen Family Head had arranged some Feng Shui.
Now the Chen Clan had the Feng Shui Room, the air was incomparably good, and under the blazing sun it could still be so cool. Was there anywhere else that could compare with the Chen Clan?
He did not know what would become of the Chen Clan if the Chen Family Head kept doing this.
Looking at a few more videos, besides the Chen Family Head leading people to erect stone tablets, the sudden change at the Chen Clan had also been posted online.
I am at the Chen Clan filming a video. I originally felt it was too hot under the blazing sun, but suddenly it became cool all around. I thought it was my illusion.
Who knew my companions also felt the same. That made me feel something was wrong, because earlier I saw the Chen Family Head and Daoist Priest Chen erecting stones with patterns on them, which made me have to suspect something…
Seeing this video, Chu Ping knew the tourists were not fools; it was just a matter of whether anyone online would believe this kind of thing.
There were already many miraculous rumors about the Chen Clan online, and tourists who came to the Chen Clan basically believed, but most people still did not.
After all, among 4 billion people, the proportion of tourists who had been to the Chen Clan was really very small. Even those who had seen videos of the Chen Clan might still be only a small minority among 4 billion.
For example, those internet celebrities who once exploded with tens of millions of fans, whose numbers and likes far surpassed the Chen Clan’s, yet when they went out, most people still did not recognize them.
This all came down to differences in awareness and vertical segmentation.
After all, if you say that on a scorching day it suddenly gets cool because the Chen Family Head buried some stones,
who would believe that without having been to the Chen Clan?
For example, the two most-liked comments under this video:
“Even if the Chen Clan has true kung fu, promoting cultivation is too much. Why not say the Chen Family Head can ride a sword?”
“Let the Chen Family Head bury stones for the whole world; wouldn’t that solve global warming?”
Chu Ping shook his head.
One could only say that those who had never been to the Chen Clan would never know its miraculous nature.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly froze.
That cool, comfortable feeling had disappeared.
He subconsciously said, “Stop the car!”
The driver instinctively braked; in fact, he had also suddenly felt it become hot and stuffy.
Not only Chu Ping, even the car carrying Bao Jing and the others also stopped.
They had also found it had become hot again.
They had been researching that special substance all along and knew very well how unbelievable it was that the special substance would disappear once it left Linhe County beyond a certain range.
So with what had just happened, they immediately made the connection.
“Back up,” Chu Ping ordered the driver.
The driver naturally obeyed, backing the car up, and soon that refreshing feeling returned again.
Chu Ping could not help getting out of the car and saw that Bao Jing and the others had also gotten out, each professor looking at the others in disbelief, with growing astonishment.
Because was this scene not very similar to that special substance?
The more they stayed in Linhe County, the more they researched this rapeseed, the more they came into contact with the Chen Clan, the more impact they felt on their thinking, and the more their minds shifted.
…
At the Chen Clan Back Mountain Summit.
Everything had returned to calm. Aside from the fallen leaves that had been swept up and scattered, it seemed as if nothing had happened here.
However, Daoist Priest Chen, Chen Lin, and the Chen Clan people all clearly felt something different.
That more comfortable, pleasant, and cool feeling was something everyone could sense, especially that chill.
Chen Han naturally felt it too, and knew this was the attributes of the “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui formation taking effect, adding +1 to comfort of body, +1 to pleasant ease, and +2 to warm in winter and cool in summer.
Moreover, in the sect residence information in his mind, there was now also information about the “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui formation, allowing him to know the full status of this formation.
“Xiao Han, has the Feng Shui formation been successfully arranged? I feel something different,” Chen Lin, who knew about setting up the formation, could not help asking, even though he knew he was stating the obvious, given the current situation.
The Chen Clan people also looked at their family head with expectant faces. Now that such a change had occurred, everyone in the clan would definitely feel it.
This was capital they could brag about when they went back.
Especially that miraculous scene moments ago, with wild winds and fallen leaves gathered into a flying dragon spiraling around.
Previously they had only heard all kinds of mysterious family legends, often learning of them only afterward.
This was their first time personally experiencing something like this, becoming part of a mysterious legend themselves.
Hearing his uncle’s question, Chen Han nodded. “Mm, it’s completed. This Feng Shui formation is called ‘Gentle Breeze Comes.’ It needs Feng Shui Stones erected according to the five-element positions to form the array, which are the five stones we set up.”
“Once completed, within the formation’s range you can feel a comfortable and pleasant sensation, and it has the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer. I’m sure you’ve all felt that special feeling.”
“Warm in winter and cool in summer,” Daoist Priest Chen could not help exclaiming when he heard this.
This was equivalent to changing the climate.
The Chen Family Head had actually arranged such a powerful formation?
He subconsciously asked, “Chen Family Head, can this ‘Gentle Breeze Comes’ be set up in other places?”
Chen Han shook his head. “Daoist Priest Chen, Feng Shui formations all have to rely on the surrounding geography and terrain. Every place’s geography and terrain are different. A formation that can be arranged in one place cannot necessarily be arranged in another.”
There was no other way; the game system reward for this Feng Shui formation could only be used in the Chen Clan.
Hearing this, Daoist Priest Chen looked at the family head with even more awe. That meant this Feng Shui formation was specially arranged by the Chen Family Head for the Chen Clan?
How powerful was that?
The Daoist Sect currently had no such figure at all.
Even in their Wudang, the only one who could do something like this was Patriarch Sanfeng back then. Moreover, Patriarch Sanfeng had only left a formation diagram; later it was Emperor Zhu who relied on the power of the entire imperial dynasty to create the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit Formation.
After that, in Wudang’s history, no such person had ever appeared again!
“Daoist Priest Chen, let’s go down the mountain,” Chen Han invited again.
“Alright, alright…” Daoist Priest Chen came back to his senses and nodded, following.
Only when they had descended to the mountainside did he remember something. He took out his phone and sent a message to his sect leader senior brother, telling him about the wonders produced by the Chen Family Head’s Feng Shui formation and its effects.
Who knew Daoist Priest Qingwei replied, “We already know the effects; it’s all over the internet.”
After the video cut off, Daoist Priest Qingwei and several Daoist priests tried sending video calls over but found no one answered, and knew they could not get through.
So they all went on Douyin to search, because the Chen Family Head’s Feng Shui formation might have abnormal phenomena, and with so many tourists in the Chen Clan, someone would probably upload videos.
And indeed, that was the case. Soon someone posted videos of the Chen Clan suddenly becoming cool and comfortable, suspecting it was related to the Feng Shui Stones buried by the Chen Family Head.
At the time they had confirmed that it must be so, and now with Junior Brother Chen’s confirmation, it matched their guess.
“Amazing,” Daoist Priest Qingwei could not help sighing.
The Feng Shui formation arranged by the Chen Family Head could actually make a place warm in winter and cool in summer?
And that kind of wonder described by Junior Brother Chen—if this were in ancient times, he would definitely be hailed as an immortal.
…
Chen Han led Daoist Priest Chen, Chen Lin, and the Chen Clan people down the mountain.
Those Chen Clan people were already happily chatting in the family group with their phones, because people in the group were already talking about the clan becoming cooler.
How could they pass up the chance to boast about having taken part in a legend?
“Let me tell you, I saw with my own eyes our family head wave his hand and all the fallen leaves on the ground gathered into a dragon.”
“At that time the wind was howling, and we were all pushed back.”
“…”
These Chen Clan members instantly became the focus of the family, making the group chat even livelier.
All the way down, Chen Han, Daoist Priest Chen, and the group quickly returned to the Chen Clan, and they could clearly see many tourists looking over at them with curiosity.
Many people were itching to ask.
Finally, a tourist holding up a mobile phone to record plucked up the courage, walked up to Chen Han, and asked, “Chen Family Head, just now the whole Chen Clan area suddenly became cooler. They all say it was because you and Daoist Priest Chen buried those stones.”
Chen Han already had a ready answer for such questions. “Definitely not. Those are just ordinary stones. Don’t believe or spread rumors. You must believe in science.”
When the words “believe in science” came out, Daoist Priest Chen clearly froze.
Because that was his catchphrase.
Hearing someone say his own catchphrase right in front of him…
The female tourist was obviously dissatisfied with this answer and turned her sights on Daoist Priest Chen.
“Believe in science,” Daoist Priest Chen saw through the female tourist’s thoughts and answered first.
The female tourist, cut off, opened her mouth. These two only knew how to say “believe in science”?
But by the time she reacted, the two who believed in science had already left with their people.
Chen Han and Daoist Priest Chen parted ways and returned to their own courtyard, where Chen Han carefully studied the “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui Formation Diagram that had appeared in the sect residence in his mind.
Then he took out the Green Feather Pheasant fan from the game warehouse. The game system remarked that within the range of the “Gentle Breeze Comes” Feng Shui formation, the power of wind-attribute magic treasures and similar items would increase.
This Green Feather Pheasant fan was a wind-attribute magic treasure, though previously it could only produce a small gust.
He did not hesitate and tried waving the fan.
In the next instant, a gust of wind swept out, directly blowing all the blue flowers in the courtyard into violent swaying. Then a relatively large whirlwind formed in the courtyard, lifting the fallen petals and leaves from the ground.
It was not only stronger wind; the whirlwind was also much larger than before. Seeing that some orchids were about to be drawn in, he hurriedly waved his hand, directly scattering the whirlwind.
This amplification effect was indeed very good.
As he was thinking this, Chen Han suddenly froze, staring in surprise at the sudden prompt from the game in his mind.
What was going on all of a sudden?
