Chapter 457 - 213: Newton Would Be Stunned! Has Ming Di Become a Legend?
Wudang is a very famous tourist spot in the Taoist Sect and also holds a high status in it.
Recently, Daoist Chen has been quite busy.
Mainly because Patriarch Chen’s qinggong, which involves lightly jumping onto rooftops, went viral, and he mentioned that the Taoist Sect has this kind of qinggong, like Wudang, and it’s the same qinggong he practices.
Previously, many people mocked his qinggong as parkour, or even inferior to parkour, and he had no way to refute it.
The main issue is his age; he can’t achieve the sharpness and limits of someone in their 20s, as his body simply can’t handle it.
Once Patriarch Chen’s qinggong went viral, there were fewer people questioning him.
After all, even though some parkour enthusiasts shared videos of international top parkour experts, such examples are rare. How many parkour people can achieve that?
Moreover, Patriarch Chen said he practices the same kind of qinggong, which indirectly proves that the Taoist Sect does have qinggong and that Wudang practices it too.
The reason he’s only practiced to this level is due to his lack of talent, not because the qinggong is lacking.
This brought a lot of attention to them, and visits to discuss Wudang’s qinggong have increased.
He naturally welcomes this, as it helps promote the culture of the Taoist Sect.
However, just as he was about to upload a video about qinggong today, he noticed someone @mentioned him on the platform.
Clicking in, he saw a video titled "Reality Version of Below the Throne, the Elder Celestial Master of the Chen Family!"
This title naturally catches the eye, as the phrases "Below the Throne," "Elder Celestial Master," and "One Below" are so well-known, and now tied with the Chen Family, anyone would click to take a look.
Daoist Chen clicked on the video, and when he saw an old Daoist directly fly onto the rooftop in front of everyone, he felt a tingling at the back of his head.
"Daoist Chen, can your Wudang qinggong achieve this level too?"
"Daoist Chen, comparing you to Patriarch Chen previously, it seemed you hadn’t mastered it, but now it seems even Patriarch Chen hasn’t truly mastered it either."
"..."
Seeing the comments @mentioning him, he swallowed hard.
He doesn’t know if the Chen Family’s qinggong can be practiced to this extent, but he’s clear that his own qinggong definitely can’t be.
So, facing these @mentions, he chose to remain silent, even quietly deleting the qinggong video he just shot.
This time, he won’t make a fool of himself.
Just then, one of his disciples ran in: "Master, a journalist from a popular media outlet is looking to discuss qinggong with you."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Chen immediately said, "I’ll be retreating for a few days, tell any visitors that I’m unavailable."
"Okay, Master." The disciple nodded, a bit puzzled, as the master had been very eager to welcome such inquiries and discussions recently; why suddenly retreat now?
Daoist Chen didn’t hesitate, returned to his Dharma Room, and continued checking the online news about the Chen Family.
He had previously watched a video of that old Daoist from the Chen Family, who looked exactly like the old Daoist in an old photo from the Chen Family.
It’s not that he’s particularly focused on the Chen Family, but previously, because of the qinggong matter, it was mentioned, and he had interacted with the Chen Family, following each other’s accounts.
That’s why videos about the Chen Family are always first recommended to him by Tiao Yin.
This is an issue with Tiao Yin’s algorithm.
Previously, he thought it was far-fetched that the old Daoist was the same one in the Chen Family’s photo, as many speculated that person was over 150, maybe even close to 200 years old.
That’s impossible.
Although there are many ancient tales of people living for hundreds of years, modern science has proven that no one can live beyond 150.
Many believed it to be someone else’s cosplay, but seeing the old Daoist effortlessly fly onto the Chen Family’s rooftop, he was truly unsure.
His mind buzzed endlessly.
"Is this even human?" Daoist Chen muttered to himself.
He watched several videos in this trending topic.
There were many @mentions of him and Patriarch Chen, all inquiring about this qinggong.
Previously, he was mocked for not mastering qinggong, and now people were even mocking that Patriarch Chen hadn’t mastered it either.
He couldn’t help but have a spectator’s mindset.
As for those @mentions, he directly chose to ignore them.
This kind of qinggong, he couldn’t explain at all.
Soon, another video caught his attention, also about the Chen Family and that old Daoist.
The title was: "I Met that Old Daoist, and He Even Guided Me!"
"Little girl, why are you hiding here crying?"
"Little girl, if someone curses you, just curse them back immediately; they’ve already cursed you, so why not oblige? Cursing you is sowing bad karma for themselves; cursing back helps them repay that bad karma, which is doing good deeds, accumulating virtue..."
The old Daoist’s words echoed through the video.
This kind of guidance clearly attracted many people, and under such heat, the video gained much attention and many comments.
"Wow, listening to the old Daoist’s guidance, I suddenly got enlightened; I was just cursed, and now I must curse back."
"I don’t know why, but seeing this old Daoist’s guidance, I suddenly feel he truly has a bit of that Below the Throne Elder Celestial Master vibe."
"..."
Daoist Chen felt this old Daoist was indeed worthy of being a Taoist Sect master, a role model for cultivators, deeply understanding the Taoist virtues.
