Chapter 746 - 307: Can Feng Shui Solve Typhoons? (2)

This is exactly the kind of Feng Shui book we need in the new era.

The old Feng Shui books were not only hard to understand, but they also deliberately delved into mysticism, nearly turning themselves into feudal superstitions.

Now, it’s so easy to understand and can be combined with geographic science. Who can say this isn’t scientific?

This is what religion should do—advance with the times, integrate into modern development, and not detach from social construction...

The most important thing is, this is the result under the supervision and guidance since he came to the Daoist Association...

Leader, I want to progress.

Daoist Li asked with a smile: "Brother Ma, just say, isn’t this scientific?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Ma Yuan repeatedly affirmed.

Daoist Li asked again with a smile: "Then there’s no problem using this as the Feng Shui course book at the Daoist Academy, right?"

"No problem, absolutely no problem." Ma immediately reiterated.

Then, not forgetting his main task, he added: "Daoist Li, I’ll go find the leader now. Don’t worry, I’ll help resolve those reports and the online issues. I stand by your side."

With that, he hurriedly left the office.

Watching him leave, Daoist Li smiled broadly and murmured to himself: "Believe in science!"

Ma Yuan reached outside, got in the car, and headed straight for the leader’s office. Once there, he met the leader.

As soon as he saw Ma Yuan, the leader asked directly: "Ma Yuan, how’s the situation handled? There are even more reports, and also, don’t just tell me ’believe in science’—I need a solution."

"Leader, you really have to believe in science. Look at this book; those Daoists have actually written a new Taoist Scripture." Ma Yuan immediately handed over the Basic Feng Shui book.

The leader took the book, and upon seeing the words Basic Feng Shui, he frowned.

However, he didn’t lose his temper and patiently opened it to take a look. Even he looked astonished after reading some of its contents.

This Feng Shui isn’t like what he understands.

But the key is that these contents are flawless, and each one proves that Feng Shui equals geographic science.

Once that point is convincing, it brings up another issue: if geographic science is science, does that mean Feng Shui geography isn’t science?

And even if those Daoists gather to discuss Feng Shui, are they discussing science?

The main point is, Feng Shui books are also books of the Taoist Sect. They say they’re discussing Taoist Scripture and compiling it—there’s genuinely no problem with that.

This... is interesting.

Ma Yuan noticed the leader’s surprise and instinctively said: "Leader, this shows that modern scientific methods can decipher some of the old mysticism, which is very significant."

"I know." The leader replied almost instinctively, his expression clearly odd, lost in thought.

Ma Yuan didn’t notice and continued to say: "The association plans to use this Basic Feng Shui as the geography science textbook at the Daoist Academy."

But the leader didn’t answer this question at all, lost in thought, and instead muttered: "The outsiders indeed can’t compare to the locals; they only know to make money and do things behind people’s backs."

"???" Ma Yuan was bewildered, not understanding—what was the leader suddenly talking about?

Could it be that the reports are...

But he knew better than to speak, waiting silently for the leader’s directives.

After a moment, the leader suddenly asked: "Ma Yuan, since those Daoists compiled this scientific Basic Feng Shui, was Thunderfire Alchemy Peak also repaired by them?"

Ma Yuan, hearing this question, could only answer: "Leader, I don’t know about that, but even if they did, wasn’t it solved using scientific methods? Believe in science!"

The leader saw him using the ’believe in science’ tactic again and laughed: "I do believe in science, but can I ask if such ’scientific’ methods can solve typhoons?"

"Huh???" Ma Yuan was stunned, his thoughts stalled, completely unable to grasp the leader’s point. But at that moment, a phone on the leader’s desk rang.

Seeing it was the red phone, he hastily left.

He wasn’t suitable to be present during this call.

He just didn’t understand why the leader suddenly started talking about typhoons?

However, he knew the leader wouldn’t say anything for no reason.

Sometimes, what the leader says might carry subconscious meaning.

So he quickly checked his phone and indeed found some information about typhoons.

There was news about a typhoon today; another one is approaching the coast of our country? Could wind damage happen again?

Moreover, it wasn’t the first time today.

He also checked the number of times our country suffered from typhoon disasters; the top three provinces faced typhoons 105, 106, and 135 times respectively.

Due to typhoons, almost every time leads to substantial disasters and even big economic losses.

He seemed to understand the leader’s point and hurried to get into the car, planning to go back to discuss this matter with Daoist Li.

In his mind, ideas were racing wildly.

If this Feng Shui could really...

After Ma Yuan left, the leader in the office picked up the phone to take the call.

He chatted with the leader on the other end for a while and suddenly said: "Leader, perhaps I have a new perspective on the typhoon issue here, and I’d like to report it in person."

...

Ma Yuan quickly returned to the association, took out his phone as soon as he reached the office, and called Daoist Li, urging him: "Daoist Li, come to my office quickly, it’s urgent."

Hearing the urgency, Daoist Li, thinking something was wrong, quickly arrived at Ma Yuan’s office.
