Chapter 274 - 145
"Master Xinyan, there are many skills in the Buddhist Sect as well. Is there any Qinggong that can let you get on the roof like this?" Liu Ye asked with a smile, turning to Master Xinyan beside him.
It was clear that he was in a good mood, a mood full of hope.
Master Xinyan felt a bit awkward hearing this: "Chairman Liu, I practice Buddhist Dharma, not martial arts, so I’m not clear about that."
Martial arts of the Buddhist Sect?
Well, it’s just like that. What many people say online is true.
So, he could only play dumb.
Liu Ye laughed.
At his status and age, he could easily see the embarrassment of this master, so he didn’t continue to pursue the question.
His expectations for the Chen Family grew even higher.
Suddenly, he saw that Patriarch Chen had uploaded a new video. As he clicked to watch, he heard Patriarch Chen’s voice saying, "The Chen Family has just subdued... the family must send out the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose."
Just by looking at the beginning, he knew that Patriarch Chen was being abstract again; most of his videos were of this type.
Yet the other party had real skills, like the ability to control the Lion-headed Goose shown in this video.
Handling such a large number of Lion-headed Geese, their synchronized movements, and obeying flute sounds—is this really something that Professor Wu’s simple scientific explanation can account for?
Apart from the military, no industry seems capable of achieving this.
However, the scientific explanation given by Professor Wu made sense in many ways, and since no one could provide evidence to refute it, what Professor Wu said was reasonable.
The main thing was that Patriarch Chen agreed with Professor Wu’s explanation and even urged everyone to believe in science; this was puzzling.
Professor Wu claimed to be a science popularizer, but why does he seem, from another angle, like a scapegoat?
As the video played, the scene of the Lion-headed Geese driving away the bees turned out to be quite interesting.
But he was astonished when he saw the latter part of the video.
A swarm of dense bees flew straight to Patriarch Chen, and a few distinct-looking bees landed directly on the flute that Patriarch Chen raised.
The scene was somewhat unbelievable.
Were those the Bee Kings?
So, was this the magic of Patriarch Chen’s Beast Taming Technique?
Instinctively, he handed the video to Master Xinyan: "Master, look at this video. Don’t these bees look like they’re paying homage to Patriarch Chen?"
Master Xinyan, looking at the video, was also full of surprise. Just as he was about to answer, Liu Ye asked: "Does anyone in your Buddhist Sect have such Beast Taming Techniques?"
"..." Master Xinyan didn’t know how to respond, because no one did, at least not that he had seen.
In the end, he could only say: "Amitabha Buddha!"
Not answering and keeping silent was the best choice.
The vehicle soon reached the area of Shangyuan Village, and they found quite a few cars already parked by the roadside. The village roads were not wide, and with many tourists, the road conditions were somewhat poor.
Of course, the main reason was that ever since the Chen Family became famous, too many locals from Linhe County came to join in on the fun. These people drove into the village, which caused the situation.
If not, most of the tourists from farther away would take a train to Linhe County and then take a taxi over here, and it wouldn’t result in such a scene.
However, this was just an objective reason; the real reason was still the road’s limitation. This countryside road could no longer accommodate the current number of tourists coming to see the Chen Family.
Liu Ye naturally saw the problem at a glance: "It seems the Chen Family’s development isn’t very thorough. The traffic is already overloaded, and with this number of tourists daily, the surrounding mountains seem like they could be developed as well."
Chu Hao, who had learned something about the Chen Family, had his own guesses and explained: "It seems the Chen Family used to focus on ascetic practice. The older generation never intended to be exposed, so the clan lived in poverty without much fame outside."
"Now, it’s this young patriarch seeking change, trying to lead the Chen Clan members to develop, so they came out to promote. The work now done by the Chen Family is mainly for the clan members."
"No wonder." Liu Ye nodded, starting to be somewhat contemplative.
He understood the Chen Family’s actions. Different eras naturally bring different views.
Many geniuses in folk traditions have some skills, but many of these skills have been lost due to various rules. Some adapt and instead let these skills be publicized and passed on.
Especially those Mystic Sect traditions, which aren’t seeking change?
Including Master Xinyan’s Temple, Wudang, Young Master... all pursued fame early on.
Some even turned it into a commercial model.
Master Xinyan is highly respected outside. When videos publicizing him online are watched by netizens, they always praise the master’s compassion?
But he donated 50 million and the other side still personally recites scriptures to dispel calamities for him every day.
The main thing is, if it weren’t for the fact that the other side had that fame, he would not have donated 50 million to their Temple.
This is the benefit of gaining fame by following the times.
On the contrary, this Chen Family, clearly gifted with many skills, has persisted until now without stepping out to pursue fame, which is to say, the Chen Family’s older generation was very persistent.
This also further demonstrates that the Chen Family is different from places like Master Xinyan’s Mystic Sect; it cannot be solved with money.
The likes of Master Xinyan in the Mystic Sect, fear they have a bit of skill and exaggerate it to a tenfold in their self-promotion, all driven by profits, so when he donates 50 million, Master Xinyan recites scriptures for him every day to dispel calamities.
Now the Chen Family possesses skills, yet pretends they have none and does not admit it publicly. Unless you have connections or special channels, you wouldn’t know about it.
