Chapter 307 - 156: Liu Ye: Could It Be the Celestial Venerable Has Arrived? (2)
This ancient tome can mislead everyone; as long as certain specifics are kept unknown, everyone will think that what he obtained from the game system, all the cheats, are inherited from the long history of the Chen Family.
After all, in this regard, even Junior Sister, Little Uncle, and the others have been deceived, beginning to overthink, let alone outsiders.
After Chen Han finished speaking, he pretended to enter the attic, took out the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" from the game warehouse, and after a while, returned to the courtyard, placing the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" on the table in the courtyard.
Chu Ping, Chen Kai, and Liu Ye were instantly attracted.
The ancient tome visibly old and yellowed, evidently very aged.
"These characters, can’t read." Chen Kai attempted to open a page, finding it filled with ancient script, awkwardly closed it again.
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen, for the display." Chu Ping offered a word of gratitude.
Regardless, such items would typically be treasured collectibles in someone else’s possession, showing it to you is already generous.
This made them even more aware of the Chen Family’s heritage.
At least the Chen Family absolutely has preserved a lot of the Mystic Sect’s ancient knowledge.
Perhaps just like Mr. Liu said in their chat, the Chen Family has always been low-key, consistently adhering to principles without entering the secular world early like those other Mystic Sect places kept up with the times.
Thus, those places lost the true teachings, while the Chen Family still passed them down.
After Chen Han displayed the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" to them, he solemnly picked up the ancient tome, pretending to return it to the attic, and stored it back in the game warehouse.
In front of outsiders, one must appear to treat this ancient tome, a part of the Chen Family’s heritage, with due seriousness, so the woven false legend can be convincing without doubt.
No one would even suspect that all this was just made up on the fly.
As he returned to the courtyard again, he looked with surprise at his mind.
The game prompt suddenly appeared:
[Congratulations, the special altar in Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall has been remodeled. Placing the Blessing and Peace Talisman painted with talismans on the special altar and chanting the Peaceful God Spell three times can activate the talisman’s attribute effect!
Note: 1. The Taoist Sect’s Peace Talisman is effective for one year, with its power weakening over time. 2. The effective period is also influenced by the practitioner’s morality; if the wearer commits evil or comes into contact with filth, it will lose efficacy prematurely!]
Chen Han couldn’t help but be surprised, not expecting the second upgrade reconstruction to be completed at this moment, leaving only the Taoist Sect characteristic: Minor Punishment, Major Warning to be completed.
He glanced at the white light shield still enveloping the Chen Family above, then looked at the game interface in his mind, seeing the sect’s base reputation and wealth data.
The latter was still ??, it seems that they have to wait for the Taoist Sect special effect: Minor Punishment, Major Warning reconstruction to be completed before the next level upgrade conditions will be shown.
The function of the special altar in the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall was simple: placing the Blessing and Peace Talisman painted with talismans on the special altar and chanting the Peaceful God Spell three times to activate the attribute effect.
However, the Peace Talisman also has restrictions once completed.
The duration is one year, as is the whole Taoist Sect’s Peace Talisman, though this is under normal circumstances.
If the wearer commits evil acts, the efficacy will also expire prematurely due to moral deficiencies, preventing the Peace Talisman from being obtained by evildoers and to prevent recipients of the Peace Talisman from committing evil.
This is a way to encourage goodness.
After all, once one feels the real effect of the Peace Talisman, they should remember the words, three feet above one’s head lies a divine presence.
If someone obtains the Peace Talisman only for it to soon become ineffective, it indicates they are unworthy of it.
They ought to consider whether to impose a slight punishment because they absolutely committed an evil act.
How dare evildoers seek the Celestial Venerable, defiling the divine eyes?
Perhaps for such people, be it by causing piles or Devourfang, should be implemented.
Seeing that the special altar of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall was completed and the Blessing and Peace Talisman attributes could be triggered, Chen Han said to Liu Ye, "Mr. Liu, the Chen Family has a Peace Blessing ceremony later, and since you are fated with the Chen Family, you can participate. During the blessing, the Celestial Venerable will bestow a batch of peace talismans, and one can be bestowed upon Mr. Liu!"
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen!" Liu Ye almost instinctively expressed his gratitude.
He clearly knew how miraculous the Chen Family’s Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable was.
His rheumatoid paralysis wasn’t cured despite spending much money in outside hospitals, a disease difficult to heal no matter how effective the medication.
Yet at the Chen Family, a simple blessing resolved it.
However, the Patriarch wouldn’t acknowledge it, and he couldn’t do anything about that, illustrating not everyone is qualified to become a follower of the Chen Family.
After all, when others came, the Patriarch would merely advocate for believing in science without granting access.
He now had the fortune to encounter these mysterious events and become a Celestial Venerable follower, purely out of luck.
Moreover, the Blessing and Peace Talisman bestowed by the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable is surely imbued with divine power, undeniably a treasure, acquiring one is definitely fortunate.
Thinking this, his anticipation grew.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai noticed Mr. Liu’s expression and were equally surprised, especially Chu Ping, who had previously only heard reports of the Chen Family’s happenings.
So, the Chen Family is holding a Peace Blessing ceremony today? And there’s a Celestial Venerable bestowed Peace Talisman?
Perhaps an opportunity to delve into some of the Chen Family’s secrets.
After chatting with a few more individuals, Chen Han once again pretended to enter the attic, then took out a dozen or so Blessing and Peace Talismans previously scribed using the Rootless Water Talisman from the warehouse, proceeding to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.
With the special altar in the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall done, he intended to see what effect would occur once the Blessing and Peace Talisman’s attributes were activated.
Liu Ye immediately followed.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai exhibited the same curiosity, following closely behind Liu Ye.
Chen Jing had learned the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," naturally more curious about such events, immediately caught up.
Upon arriving at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.
At this point, there were few tourists; a few had just finished offering incense and came out, making the hall inside very quiet, with only Auntie and Xiaomi present.
Just like Xiaomi, who donned a layperson’s plain robe.
The two appeared to be discussing something in front of the altar table.
This young girl, for his ’cancer,’ in hope of receiving the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable’s blessing, wholeheartedly served the Taoist Sect, finding time each day to come over to learn from Auntie.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai chose to wait outside the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, as they couldn’t participate in the blessing or offer incense, so it’s better not to enter.
Liu Ye did not hesitate, entering the hall following the Patriarch, becoming cautious, solemn, and devoted.
In the presence of the Celestial Venerable, not daring to show any disrespect.
"Patriarch!" Auntie greeted respectfully upon seeing him.
"Chen Han." Xiaomi also greeted him, then exclaimed, "Auntie said just now that something seems different behind the altar table."
"Auntie, where did you see it was somewhat different?" Chen Han inquired, surprised, for the special altar was right behind the altar table.
Auntie shook her head and explained, "Patriarch, I’m not sure, it’s just a feeling I had just now, having been here for more than 40 years."
Chen Han, upon hearing this, became even more surprised; it must be because of the special altar’s recent successful remodeling, known for its silent transformation.
Auntie, staying here for over 40 years, was so familiar with every brick and tile that she sensed something slightly different, even if she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
This was remarkable enough to astonish.
Following behind, Liu Ye was shocked, eyes widened; isn’t behind the altar table where the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Statue is?
He instinctively glanced at the statue, seeing its solemn face, and subconsciously bowed his head.
This elderly elder of the Chen Family remarked on the difference, could it mean that the worshiped Celestial Venerable has descended?
With this thought, he instinctively swallowed!
