My fourth uncle and grandma seemed to have read my thoughts and said with a smile: "I know you couldn't bear it when I heard about the principal, but if it weren't for Gu Xiwen and those wandering gods that day, your current situation would be worse than risking your life.
It’s even scarier, you know?”
"I know!" I replied in a low voice, lowering my head.
"It's a good thing to be kind-hearted, but if you blindly use kindness to take care of things you can't control without estimating your own abilities, you may very well do bad things with good intentions, and even risk your own life. If you really want to help others, you must first improve yourself.
Ability." The fourth uncle and grandma said seriously.
"Well, grandma, I remember it, but, grandma, how do I improve my abilities? I can memorize the books that Grandpa Xiu Cai left for me. Gu Xiwen also said that if I learn it, I will be very powerful, but I
Why can’t you do anything?” I looked at my fourth uncle and grandma in confusion.
The fourth uncle and grandma said with a smile: "You will know when you become enlightened. Then you must work hard and remember what you said!"
I nodded heavily, "Nai, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the originally sunny sky suddenly turned dark. Suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain started pouring down.
I raised my head and saw my fourth uncle and grandma there.
"Mirror, gal, where have you been? How are you?" I cried, worried that the thunder and lightning would hurt my fourth uncle and grandma.
"Nai is fine, go back quickly, remember Nai's words!" The pile of paper money in front of me has not been completely extinguished by the heavy rain, and the firelight is flickering. The words of the fourth uncle and grandma come from nowhere, with a bit of relief and smile in her voice.
.
"Milk! Where are you?" I cried and shouted a few more times, but there was only the sound of rain falling all around, and the voice of my fourth uncle and grandma was gone.
The rain was really heavy, so I packed up my food and went down the mountain.
When I got home, I felt like the world was spinning before my eyes. I forced myself to change out of my clothes that were soaked by the rain, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
I had a long, long dream. I dreamed that I was on an unknown mountain, surrounded by white mist, tinkling streams, and blooming mountain flowers everywhere.
I walked along the mountain with a continuous stream and came to a cliff.
A large and magnificent waterfall hangs on the cliff. The water splashes on the stone wall, splashing like crystal pearls. There is a deep pool under the waterfall. The turquoise water is crystal clear to the bottom, and countless colorful and unknown fish are swimming in the water.
.
There is a green grassland beside the pond, with wild flowers swaying and butterflies flying. Two rows of flower trees grow beside the pond, with unknown white flowers blooming. The petals are as crystal clear as snow flakes, exuding a strange fragrance.
A warm breeze blew by, and the petals fluttered and fell to the water. Colorful fish jumped up one after another to grab the petals, sparking five-color golden light, which was gorgeous.
What a beautiful place, I was stunned.
"Girl Ling'er, you're finally here." A warm and familiar voice sounded. I turned around and looked over, only to find a small wooden house at the end of the grass. An old man in a long gown walked out of the house. His beard and hair were all white, but he was in good spirits.
, with piercing eyes.
"Grandpa Xiucai!" I ran over and held his hand, "Why do you live here?"
Grandpa Xiucai looked at me with a kind face, "I have been waiting for you here for ten years."
"Grandpa Xiucai, I have memorized all the books you gave me. However, I am too stupid. I still don't understand anything and I have failed to live up to your expectations." I lowered my head and said with some shame.
"Ling'er girl is not stupid at all, she is just not enlightened yet. Once she is enlightened, she will know everything!" Grandpa Xiucai said with a smile, and raised his hand to touch my hair.
"My grandma said the same thing, but Grandpa Xiu Cai, when will I become enlightened?" I asked Grandpa Xiu Cai.
Grandpa Xiucai smiled, raised his finger and pointed at the pool of water behind me and said, "Girl Ling'er, look, what's in that water?"
I turned my head and looked around, and saw a thin layer of mist rising from the water, and two dragons, one gold and one silver, circling and rising slowly.
For a time, it was so brilliant that the waterfall on the cliff was also coated with a layer of sparkling brilliance.
"It's a dragon!" I turned to look at Grandpa Xiucai in surprise, "Grandpa Xiucai, it's a dragon! I saw a dragon! It's so beautiful!"
"Yes, that's a dragon!" Grandpa Xiucai looked at me and smiled, "Girl Ling'er will become enlightened when she sees a dragon!"
"Really? Am I really going to be enlightened?" I asked Grandpa Xiucai in surprise.
"Follow me!" Grandpa Xiucai turned around and walked towards the cabin.
As soon as I approached the cabin, Grandpa Xiucai disappeared from my sight.
"Grandpa Xiu Cai? Grandpa Xiu Cai, where are you going?" I took a few steps to catch up, looking at the small wooden house in front of me and shouting anxiously.
In front of the wooden house, there were several half-man-high fences blocking the way. I looked through the fence and found that the wooden house had no door.
"Enter from the open door, to Xiumen, then to Jingmen, and then to Shangmen!" Grandpa Xiucai's voice came from the wooden house.
"But I didn't see the door!" I looked around and answered without thinking.
"Close your eyes, hold your breath and think about the books you have read!" Grandpa Xiucai's voice was a little more serious.
I closed my eyes as instructed, thinking about nothing, and began to recall the contents of the Holy Yuan Heavenly Book.
Opening the door, closing the door, living door, hurting door, Du door, scene door, death door, startling door are the eight gates, which are derived from the eight trigrams and have the attributes of the eight trigrams. The eight gates respectively represent eight directions and eight regions...
Thinking about it in my heart, I slowly took the first step, the second step, the third step...
The fence in front of me gradually changed into the shape of nine palaces and eight trigrams in my eyes. I don't know how long it took, but I realized that I was actually standing in a wooden house.
The decoration in the wooden house is very simple, with a wooden table and two chairs. There is a painting hanging on the wall. On the painting is an old man with white hair and a man riding a crane holding a whisk. Behind him are two boys, a boy and a girl.
, the background is surrounded by auspicious clouds, and two dragons, one gold and one silver, are faintly revealed in the auspicious clouds.
Grandpa Xiucai was sitting on one of the chairs, with a cup of tea in his hand, looking at me with a smile.
"That's right, it only took a cup of tea!" Grandpa Xiucai said with a smile.
"Grandpa Xiucai, I didn't go wrong, did I?" I asked somewhat smugly.
"You have finally become enlightened. If you don't kowtow to the ancestor, you will officially become the 19th generation successor of my Holy Yuan Sanqi from today on!"
Grandpa Xiucai stood up as he spoke, and with a wave of his hand, a bronze incense burner appeared on the table. Then he took out three tribute incense sticks from somewhere and handed them to me.
I took the tribute incense, knelt down devoutly in front of the painting, and said in my mouth: "Disciple Hu Ling, today officially became the 19th generation successor of Shengyuan Sanqi. Thank you to the ancestor for enlightening me. From today on, I will eliminate demons and defend the Tao.
Doing good deeds and producing good results will definitely not disgrace the original intention of our founder."
