Chapter 510 - 232: Is the Chen Family a Millennium-Old Clan? (Part 3)
What’s more, it’s a Taoist heritage family, carrying some mystical aura, which makes it even more stunning.
In no time, the video from Provincial New City News went viral.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai were originally the most concerned about the Chen Family and were the first to see the news.
"It’s truly unbelievable, has the Chen Family really been inheriting for a thousand years?" Chu Ping said with amazement on his face. He knew the Chen Family’s heritage was long-lasting, but he didn’t expect it to be this ancient.
Chen Kai suddenly said mysteriously, "Chu County, you know Supreme Ziqing Bai Yuchan, right?"
Chu Ping nodded, he was the founder of the Golden Core Southern Sect, and one of the five patriarchs from the Southern Daoist Sect in the Qingmin Region.
It’s fair to say, he was a legendary Taoist figure in the Qingmin Region.
Chen Kai again said mysteriously, "Supreme Ziqing was also from the Song Dynasty. In his stories, there are many instances of him discussing Tao with unknown old Daoists, recorded over a dozen times. So might he have had discussions with the ancestors of the Chen Family? After all, both were in the Qingmin Region; they couldn’t have had no intersections."
"For instance, once Supreme Ziqing was traveling through the Qingmin Region and accidentally entered a cultivation abode. There, he found a Daoist breathing deeply, as if melding into the natural world."
"Supreme Ziqing stayed there for half a year, often discussing Tao with that Daoist and gained insights from it. Eventually, he didn’t know the Daoist’s name; he only knew that the abode was etched with the conspicuous words ’Qingfeng,’ so it was recorded as Qingfeng Daoist."
"Chu County, do you think this Qingfeng Daoist might be an ancestor of the Chen Family? After all, this is a true account from Supreme Ziqing’s records, yet without any exploration of the Taoist’s ancestry."
Chu Ping felt it was possible upon hearing this. Knowing the Chen Family owned the period’s Ancient Calming Heart Technique manuscripts, which were proven effective in modern times.
The key point is the old Daoist of the Chen Family had such abilities even in today’s Dharma Decline Era. What about those ancestors of the Chen Family in ancient times, a thousand years ago?
Later, Chu Ping thought of something: "Since the Chen Family is a thousand-year family, aren’t we a thousand-year Ancient County in Linhe County?"
"We should be!" Chen Kai instinctively nodded. A county with a thousand-year family is certainly a thousand-year Ancient County.
It seems Linhe County can add another label, and this label will definitely attract many tourists, because the suffix is + with a Taoist heritage family of the Chen family in the county!
Then, he added, "Isn’t there a ruined Daoist Temple site in the south of the city, with an unknown deity enshrined? We thought about renovating it and adding a small scenic spot."
"Could it be Qingfeng Daoist? Could it be an ancestor of the Chen Family? Supreme Ziqing can be one of the five patriarchs of the Southern Sect, could Qingfeng Daoist become a separate sect?"
This was a question, but Chu Ping understood the meaning thoroughly; does it matter if it’s Qingfeng Daoist?
It doesn’t matter at all, as long as it’s beneficial for promoting tourism, if it can elevate the title of a thousand-year Ancient County, if it can attract countless tourists and economic benefits.
Some things don’t even need them to lead. Residents developing Ancient Towns in Linhe County and even beneficiaries from You City will spontaneously do this.
Instead, common folk might do it better, more crazily, more thoroughly than them.
By then, a thriving incense Daoist Temple will appear.
Do you believe that one day You City could host 20,000 to 30,000 tourists daily, yet if the Chen Family barely lets out some news, a large number of people in Linhe County would line up at the Chen Family’s place to petition?
There are so many Wandering God activities in the Qingmin Region, many of those gods weren’t there before, nor were they orthodox.
Due to economic needs, they’ve gained popularity over the years, bringing so many tourists and economy there annually. Many people travel from afar to participate in Wandering God.
For instance, there’s a very famous handsome god; it’s rumored Head of the Family spent 500,000 last year organizing it, yet the news didn’t mention he’s the biggest local restaurant chain owner.
The key is, these things can be mimicked, mainly if there’s an opportunity.
"Find the right time, find the right time!" Chu Ping didn’t respond immediately, but muttered twice in succession.
After the Provincial New City News exploded, Taoists naturally noticed, and even people from the Buddhist Sect paid attention and had different thoughts.
In Wudang, after the Ancient Calming Heart Technique of the Chen Family went viral, Daoist Chen started researching the collection of manuscripts, including the Mental Tranquility Technique, together with the Sect Leader and various senior brothers.
They didn’t believe that after so long a heritage, Chen Family possessed things they wouldn’t have, certainly an overlooked spot; once they found it, they would surely obtain the same effect as the Chen Family.
Daoist Chen was the first to see this news video because he had many fans online who would @ him.
But when he saw the news content, he was dumbfounded.
Has the Chen Family been inheriting for so long? Their Ancient Calming Heart Technique has been around since before Wudang even existed?
In early Song Dynasty, Wudang didn’t even exist yet.
It turns out the Chen Family, always unknown to the outside world, has been inheriting for such a long time?
This...
Suddenly, he felt that they seemed a bit...
Ugh!
They even felt that if they could inherit, they certainly could too. It turns out when they existed, Wudang wasn’t even around.
Suddenly feeling quite heartbroken and uncomfortable!
However, he soon brightened up because the Patriarch Chen was incredibly generous to allow the journalist to film the content of the Ancient Calming Heart Technique, including the natural music score later on.
The Chen Family is too generous, aren’t they?
Then, he immediately became excited and went to find the Sect Leader and senior brothers, prior absence of materials made research impossible.
Now there was complete data, and the music score — they couldn’t possibly fail to research this Ancient Calming Heart Technique now, could they?
Instead, the Chen Family’s selflessness deserves admiration!
