Chapter 414: Chapter 197: Surrounded by the Flower Sea! Everything Truly Bloomed! (Part 2)
She recently started self-studying ancient Taoist script, so, unlike Xiaoyu and Chen Lin, she could somewhat understand the text on the stone stele.
Before, she thought that the stone stele and its inscriptions were created by Chen Han.
After all, the Hundred Flowers Palace was something from his abstract videos, and she was even considered the Hundred Flowers Palace Fairy.
The Hundred Flowers Palace gifting the Chen Family a stone stele, and having formations inscribed on it, seemed utterly absurd, clearly something out of Chen Han’s abstract video plots.
But now Chen Han actually told her that the inscriptions weren’t his doing, and were truly excavated.
Was the Hundred Flowers Palace real in the past?
She felt her head buzz instantly.
Xiaoyu and Chen Lin all instinctively looked at him.
Chen Han quickly added, "The Hundred Flowers Palace is just a coincidence, this stone stele was indeed dug up from the ground, and delivered personally by the county officials. I looked into ancient records and found mentions of such formation steles."
"By using methods like Gan and Zhi day and hour, the Eight Gates Positioning, and Earth Vein positioning... we can determine the location to erect the stele, connecting it to the energy of the Feng Shui array, which might actually activate the formation runes on the stele."
Xiaoyu and Chen Lin were baffled by terms like Gan and Zhi day and hour and Eight Gates Positioning, not understanding a word of it.
But upon hearing "Feng Shui array," they understood.
It was all thanks to the family’s underground Feng Shui array.
"Don’t disclose this matter publicly," Chen Han instructed.
Xiaoyu quickly nodded, "We understand, brother. In public, we trust in science."
During their conversation, a Spiritual Energy Flush from the special Spiritual Acupoint occurred, and Chen Han sat cross-legged to activate the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method, absorbing the energy to cultivate.
...
The Chen family soon became lively.
Exclamations were heard everywhere.
Many people couldn’t believe they woke up to find themselves surrounded by blooming flowers.
Chen Jun was one such person, staring in disbelief at the blooming flowers as he exited the courtyard, hurriedly calling out to his girlfriend, "Xiaoxiao, come quickly! All the flowers we planted yesterday have bloomed."
Lin Xiaoxiao heard her boyfriend yelling and curiously came out, and upon seeing the blooming flowers in the courtyard, she too shouted in disbelief.
How did these flowers bloom overnight?
Their commotion affected the tourists staying at his house.
The tourists were naturally upset, coming out to complain, but were suddenly attracted by the courtyard’s suddenly blooming flowers.
Weren’t these planted just yesterday?
The tourists forgot their anger and hurriedly took out their phones to capture the scene.
Lobster woke up hearing the commotion outside the tourist service center, yawning as she looked out the window, her eyes widening in surprise.
She could see several Chen courtyards in the distance, their fences covered with blooming flowers, turning them into beautiful flower walls.
The noise was the tourists admiring the flower walls, each busy taking photos.
She quickly went to the opposite room to knock on the door, where the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King was staying; he was watching a video, and upon seeing her, said in surprise, "Lobster, did you watch the video this morning? Last night it rained at the Chen Family’s place, but not a drop in Shangyuan Village. We missed witnessing such an odd occurrence."
Lobster was surprised again.
This phenomenon wasn’t odd, as it occurred in many places, but linking it to all the flowers blooming overnight at the Chen Family’s place, she felt there was a connection.
"Lobster, what’s wrong?" Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King asked in confusion.
Lobster quickly pulled her into her room, directing her to look out the window into the distance.
The Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King also noticed the courtyards’ flower walls, equally incredulous, "These... weren’t they planted just yesterday? It’s so beautiful."
The two girls were evidently struck by the spectacle, quickly picking up their phones to start filming.
They were sensitive to trending topics, shooting a video of the scene before exchanging glances, hurrying to put on makeup and change into Hanfu to take more videos.
As they went out, they found the Innate Widow’s Saint Body and Little Celestial Fairy were already out in their Hanfu.
Within the Chen estate, tourists were already abuzz, watching each courtyard’s flower walls, eagerly filming.
Tourists staying in the courtyards of Chen Clan members were filming from inside, feeling that the blooming flowers across the courtyards made staying at the Chen Family’s place as appealing as the tourist service center despite differences in amenities.
Each option seemed to have its merits.
Xu Bin had a good night’s sleep on his first night in Shangyuan Village; his military background made him adaptable, unaffected by changes in environment.
He woke early to jog around Shangyuan Village, and gazing toward it, he felt a bit terrified.
Yesterday’s defeat had left a lasting impression, prompting him to check his cousin’s recommendation of "Below the Throne."
The power in "Below the Throne" seemed embodied by the Chen Patriarch.
The Chen Patriarch wasn’t completely embodied; apparently, another mysterious old Daoist in the photo also belonged to the Chen Family.
Suddenly, while running, he looked incredulously in a certain direction.
It was the Jade Flower Forest where the Chen Patriarch had erected a stele yesterday.
At the moment, that place was snow-white, seemingly filled with captivating scenery.
He instinctively ran toward it, and upon arrival, was stunned by the spectacle.
The entire grove of Jade Flower Trees had bloomed; he remembered it should be past the flowering season, and weren’t some of these trees recently planted?
He hastily picked up his phone, called Ming Di, "Cousin, come quickly to where the Chen Patriarch erected the stele yesterday."
"What’s wrong?" Ming Di’s puzzled voice came through, "So early..."
Xu Bin promptly replied, "Check WeChat quickly, I’m sending you a video."
Ming Di grew more puzzled, and upon hanging up, he saw a video sent by his cousin on WeChat.
When he saw the video of the Jade Flower Trees in full bloom, his face showed astonishment, and he hurried out toward the Chen Family’s place.
Not long after, he arrived at the Jade Flower Forest, looking at the trees full of blossoms and smelling the drifting subtle fragrance, he was stupefied.
Even the fence that kept people out was covered with flowering plants.
"This... certainly has to do with last night’s rain, and surely with the stone stele," Ming Di realized, instinctively looking at the standing stone stele.
He had considerable understanding of the Chen Family and quickly connected everything.
However, this realization left him even more astounded, as he unraveled the Chen Family’s mysterious powers?’
Xu Bin instinctively asked, "Cousin, isn’t the Chen Family intimidating? Are we right to seek attention from this?"
Ming Di immediately said, "We have permission, no worries..."
Saying that, he quickly took out his phone to film the Jade Flower Trees.
This was absolutely the first wave to seize the trend.
As time passed, everyone in the Chen Family and the tourists almost all noticed the overnight spectacle.
The Chen family members were relatively calm, having experienced much and knowing about their family’s Feng Shui array and Celestial Venerable’s protection, which was certainly related to the current scenery.
However, the family chat group already issued guidelines, instructing members to respond to tourists with "trust in science" if questioned.
The tourists were utterly amazed, finding the overnight bloom astonishing. Previously, they hadn’t personally experienced the previous Flower Sea’s overnight bloom, so it wasn’t too impactful.
This time, many personally witnessed the planting of those flowers yesterday, which truly bloomed overnight.
These tourists were uploading various videos, causing the entire internet to buzz with the legend of the Chen Family’s overnight blooming. But one point left everyone speechless.
Many tourists tried to pry information from the Chen people, but they uniformly responded with, "trust in science!"
It’s not that everyone disbelieves science, but there’s no way to believe it!
Can’t everyone be a bit more sincere?
...
When Chen Han opened his eyes, ending his cultivation, Little Uncle, Uncle Dagou, and Junior Sister had already left the special Spiritual Acupoint.
They couldn’t cultivate with a technique, having only their bodies bathed by the Spiritual Energy Flush, unable to draw the energy into their bodies hence no refining of spiritual energy.
With the Spiritual Energy Flush ended, staying there held no purpose.
Now he had opened four of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, considering whether to transmit the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method.
Little Uncle, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng were older, cultivation might not be beneficial, but Junior Sister was different—not transmitting to her seemed wrong.
As he pondered, he rose with Little White Rabbit, leaving the pavilion and suddenly noticed something descending from above.
He reached out to catch it, and upon seeing what it was, he looked up in surprise, his grin widening.
Does it work as well?
