Chapter 1397 - 701: Mountain Protection Array (2)
Since he has come, he might as well stay. Anyway, he is already here, no matter what method, he must complete the task.
Before accomplishing this matter, no matter what difficulties and setbacks he encounters, Lin Beichen will persevere and will never give up easily.
At that moment, Lin Beichen used Daoist Art to instantly create a platform in the town.
He plans to use this platform to preach in the small town, starting with the villagers, letting them benefit.
Then let the villagers help him spread the word, gradually making the mayor accept him and believe in him. He hopes that everything he does can move the mayor, ultimately agreeing to his request.
He holds great hope for this purpose of coming to the town, and he has never given up.
Even if the mayor dislikes him and wants him to leave, Lin Beichen still persists. A hope in his heart keeps supporting him, urging him not to give up.
The villagers in the small town were very happy when they heard that Lin Beichen was going to preach the knowledge of Daoism there. Despite the mayor’s negative attitude toward Lin Beichen, the villagers were full of trust and expectation for him and showed great interest in his preaching activities.
Many villagers were willing to come and support Lin Beichen, which gave him immense confidence and motivation. Since arriving in this small town, he has always felt the simplicity and enthusiasm of the villagers. It is their support and encouragement that have kept him going.
Although the mayor does not approve of him, Lin Beichen firmly believes that as long as he persists, one day he will gain the mayor’s recognition and acceptance. This belief allows him to withstand the mayor’s denial.
The villagers also continuously encouraged and supported Lin Beichen. He confidently displayed the charm of Daoism to the villagers, patiently explaining the essence and significance of Daoism to them. He used simple language to make the villagers clearly understand Daoism and feel joy from it.
In the next few days, Lin Beichen was busy with preaching activities every day. Watching the villagers gradually grow and improve, he felt immensely relieved. However, when the mayor learned about this news, he was very unhappy. He initially thought he had driven Lin Beichen away, but unexpectedly, Lin Beichen was still in the town and preaching without the mayor’s consent.
The mayor felt that Lin Beichen was completely ignoring him, which was disrespectful and provocative. So, he brought people to ruin the event, loudly scolding the villagers not to be deceived, claiming that Lin Beichen was a fraud.
In the face of the mayor’s provocation and insults, Lin Beichen remained calm and restrained. He had mentally prepared himself long ago, knowing that the mayor might take drastic actions against him. Therefore, he was not affected by the mayor’s interference and continued to teach Daoist knowledge to the villagers.
The mayor was even more furious seeing Lin Beichen so composed. He rushed in front of Lin Beichen and beat him severely. However, Lin Beichen did not fight back. He chose to silently endure it all. He didn’t want to exacerbate the conflict because of a dispute with the mayor, he just wanted to focus on completing his preaching task.
The mayor was surprised and puzzled by Lin Beichen’s actions. He questioned why Lin did not fight back. But no matter how the mayor provoked and threatened him, Lin Beichen firmly stated that he would not leave the town and would continue to stay here to preach until he achieved his goal.
Lin Beichen has made up his mind to start with these villagers, gradually integrating Daoism into their lives. He believes that as time goes on, everything will naturally fall into place. Even if the mayor cannot accept it now, Lin Beichen will continue with his plan.
The villagers in the small town were overjoyed to hear that Lin Beichen was going to preach Daoism. Despite the mayor’s negative attitude toward Lin Beichen, the villagers were full of trust and expectation in him and express great interest in the preaching activities.
Many villagers eagerly came to support Lin Beichen, which made him feel greatly encouraged and grateful. Since coming to this small town, these simple and kind villagers have always been his strong backing, constantly encouraging and supporting him, allowing him to persist until now.
Lin Beichen firmly believes that as long as he persists, one day he will gain the mayor’s recognition and acceptance. This belief allows him to maintain a steadfast resolve in the face of any difficulties and setbacks.
The passion and encouragement from the villagers also gave him more confidence. He enthusiastically demonstrated the essence of Daoism to the villagers, patiently and meticulously explaining the connotation and significance of Daoism thus allowing the villagers to gradually understand and accept this culture.
Lin Beichen’s explanations are simple yet profound, with vivid examples, enabling the villagers to easily grasp the core concepts of Daoism. He not only taught Daoist knowledge but also guided the villagers to find joy in it, feeling the benefits Daoism brings.
In the coming days, Lin Beichen persisted in doing this every day. Watching the villagers gradually grow and progress, he felt immensely relieved. However, when the mayor learned about this news he was very unhappy.
He initially thought he had driven Lin Beichen away, but unexpectedly, Lin Beichen was still in the town and had begun teaching Daoism without his permission. The mayor felt that Lin Beichen completely ignored him, which was a great disrespect and provocation to him.
So, the mayor brought people to ruin the event, loudly scolding the villagers not to be fooled by Lin Beichen. However, Lin Beichen was neither angry nor shaken by this. He had already mentally prepared himself, no matter how the mayor treated him, he could calmly accept it.
He continued to calmly explain Daoist knowledge to the villagers, completely unaffected by the mayor and others’ interference. Seeing this, the mayor was even more infuriated. He rushed in front of Lin Beichen and beat him severely.
But Lin Beichen did not fight back, not because of weakness, but to avoid conflict with the mayor here. He just wanted to focus on completing his task, letting everyone understand Daoism culture.
The mayor was surprised and helpless about Lin Beichen’s indifference. He questioned Lin Beichen about why he didn’t fight back, but Lin Beichen firmly stated his intention to stay here to teach Daoism.
Despite Lin Beichen showing great sincerity and patience, the mayor still doesn’t believe him. He warned Lin Beichen not to delude himself into staying in the town and clearly stated that nothing Lin Beichen does can persuade him to believe in Daoism.
However, Lin Beichen did not give up because of this. He is determined to stay here and gradually integrate Daoism into the villagers’ lives through his efforts. He believes that as long as he persists, everything will naturally fall into place. Even if the mayor cannot accept his method, he will continue with his plan.
Just as Lin Beichen was immersed in his inner joy, the system suddenly brought good news: "Congratulations on completing the task, rewarded with a set of Mountain Protection Array!" This sudden joyous news made Lin Beichen ecstatic, he realized his effort was finally rewarded.
Lin Beichen couldn’t wait to start cultivating this Mountain Protection Array, knowing such an opportunity was a rare one in a thousand years and must not be missed easily. So he plunged headfirst into cultivation, almost forgetting everything outside, including his disciple Hu Yi.
Hu Yi had been feeling lost because she hadn’t seen Lin Beichen since she became his apprentice, and now she felt even more dejected seeing Lin Beichen not even showing up, with disappointment clear in her heart. She felt she had no place in Lin Beichen’s heart, making it impossible for her to reconcile with this bitterness.
Just as Lin Beichen was about to sit and delve into cultivation, Hu Yi burst through the door angrily and walked into the room. Lin Beichen looked up and saw Hu Yi, somewhat surprised: "Why have you come? Is there something wrong?"
Hu Yi, pouting and visibly displeased, said: "Master, how could you do this? You clearly said you would teach me Daoist Art, and to come find you the next day, but where were you? I haven’t seen you at all, aren’t you tricking me?"
Hearing this, Lin Beichen felt a sense of helplessness. He indeed had urgent matters, and hadn’t had time to properly arrange things before hastily leaving the Daoist Temple, unexpected leaving Hu Yi with such a misunderstanding.
