Chapter 320 - 162: Having the Clan Members Farm Wish Power! Is This Minor Punishment, Major Warning?
Since obtaining the game system, Chen Han has been quietly promoting his influence, leading those who returned to work within the clan astray. They all take pride in the profound heritage of the family.
Furthermore, after several mystical experiences, all clan members believe that the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable can truly bestow blessings.
Thus, the Chen Clan members are now absolutely more devout than the disciples and grand-disciples of those Taoist sects.
After all, those Taoist orthodox places may not truly experience mystical events, whereas the Chen Clan members can genuinely feel them, and even participate in some of the phenomena triggered by the Feng Shui array.
For example, the Feng Shui room in the clan members’ homes—now every member can buy three types of potted plants from the family to arrange a Feng Shui room.
This is a mystical event that everyone can genuinely encounter and grasp.
Therefore, he plans to restore the morning and evening lessons.
The Taoist sect has always had a tradition of morning and evening lessons.
Morning lessons are usually held around sunrise, or 5:00 AM (approximately 5 to 7 AM), symbolizing the initial rise of Yang Qi, suitable for starting a day of cultivation and wish empowerment.
Evening lessons generally occur after sunset, or before night falls, around 5:00 PM (approximately 5 to 7 PM), at which time Yin Qi is on the rise, suitable for calming the mind and reflection.
During previous feudal dynasties, the Chen Family, as an inheriting Taoist family, maintained many practices, and the Sacrificial Hall’s morning and evening lessons were daily kept.
At least every day, there would be clan members participating in the morning and evening lessons.
However, modern times are different; it is impractical for all clan members to attend the morning lessons together, especially since the area is developing as a tourist attraction, requiring early preparation for many positions, leaving no time in the morning.
The evening lessons are similar; many positions are busy at this timeframe, especially in restaurants where this time is the busiest.
Fortunately, each person can only accumulate Wish Power once a day, so it is feasible to split the group, with some attending the morning lessons and others the evening lessons.
As for how to allocate this, he would let Xiaoyan handle the arrangements, as this is part of her duties as the human resources manager.
However, how to conduct the morning and evening lessons is an issue.
In Taoist sects, morning and evening lessons are typically conducted with prescribed scripture recitations.
Morning lessons usually begin with clarity induction, chanting, directives, followed by the recitation of the Pure Mind Spell, Pure Mouth Spell, Pure Body Spell, Land Protection Spell, Pure Heaven and Earth Spell, Blessing Incense Spell, Golden Light Spell, Mystical Charm Spell, among others.
Then recite scriptures such as "Tai Shang Laojun’s Ever-Pure and Simple Spiritual Sutra," "Supreme Master of Heaven’s Lingbao Ascendant Salvation Spell," "Supreme Lingbao Celestial Venerable’s Spell for Disasters Mitigation," "High Above Emperor’s Heart Seal Spiritual Sutra," and more.
Finally, recite scriptures like Yuqing Blessing, Shangqing Blessing, Taiqing Blessing, Jade Emperor Blessing, etc.
Evening lessons are similar and involve chanting numerous scriptures.
However, many places are not absolute; different sects and temples have different practices and may adjust and change them.
The Chen Clan can also make some changes.
Clan members are not initiated into the sect and do not possess the knowledge transfer, so conducting rigid morning and evening lessons can lead to laziness, or say too stringent, as clan members need to work.
His primary goal is still to have clan members devoutly offer incense and provide Wish Power; the morning and evening lessons are a facade.
So, he plans to recite 3 spells and 1 scripture during the morning and evening lessons, which would not be too tedious, preventing long-term laziness among clan members.
Furthermore, Chen Jing, the Scripture Reciter, can now officially take his post.
It’s just right for him to recite the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" during both morning and evening lessons, a benefit for the clan members.
Once Chen Jing trains more Scripture Reciters, reciting the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" altogether will surely be impressive.
Both impressive and having special effects, gradually, will make the Chen Family’s reputation grow bigger.
Thinking so, he saw his aunt had already placed the incense into the burner and said, "Aunt, now the Palace Guard has initiated 4 people into the sect; after all, our Chen Family is a Taoist inheriting family. I plan to restore the morning and evening lessons and have clan members perform morning and evening lessons."
"However, ordinary clan members are not initiated, so the morning and evening lessons need not be too rigorous. We can simplify the procedures, as long as they are devout. For example, we can do this..."
He shared his thoughts with his aunt.
To this, his aunt naturally agreed.
She already knows the Celestial Venerable is protecting the Chen Family and naturally hopes the clan members will attend the morning and evening lessons as a respectful ceremony to the Celestial Venerable.
As for the Patriarch’s proposal, she has no objections.
In her eyes, the Patriarch is the person chosen by the Celestial Venerable. What the Patriarch says must be endorsed by the Celestial Venerable; moreover, the Patriarch’s words make perfect sense—the clan members are not initiated, no need to be so stringent.
Consequently, she also said, "Follow the Patriarch’s arrangement; should I notify the clan members?"
"I will call Chen Xiaoyan over; the Chen Family is developing tourism now, and every position needs people. Allocating the morning and evening lesson participants is still necessary." Chen Han then took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Xiaoyan’s number.
Accumulating Wish Power is important, but Chen Family’s tourism development is also crucial, as tourists can provide wealth, heat, and reputation.
Moreover, there is no rule that tourists cannot provide Wish Power. With the development of the Chen Family, over time, believers will surely come, and many of them will likely provide Wish Power.
Chen Xiaoyan received the call while she was managing the staff deployment for the Chen Family’s National Style Event on-site, as the number of attendees had surged, and the current Chen Family staff simply couldn’t handle it, security personnel alone had to be doubled.
However, while the headcount surge doesn’t mean there will be such numbers daily afterward, staff can’t be recruited based on this event’s headcount.
