Returning to the Taoist temple, they said hello to the donkey carrying a cub that was patrolling the mountain in the dark. The three of them washed their hands and went back to their houses to rest.
When the third quarter of Mao arrived, the master got up on time and adjusted his breath for more than two hours. He was in good spirits.
Dressed neatly, I walked out of the backyard and saw an old lame man and a dark-skinned boy busy making dough in front of the chopping board under the dim oil lamp in the kitchen. The donkey was enjoying his sumptuous breakfast outside the kitchen like an old man.
The young badger was holding a fresh cotton fruit bought from the city yesterday afternoon and was happily chewing it.
The donkey wagged its tail, which was regarded as saying hello to the viewer who was watching it. The viewer said, "You eat without speaking."
After morning classes and breakfast, the three of them drank tea and chatted in the west hall.
"The day after tomorrow I will go to the city to officially celebrate the birth. Although the master of the hospital has allowed me to walk freely, I still have to run around a lot in the days ahead. I want you to worry more about family matters.
In the new courtyard at the foot of the mountain, the second senior brother went to look around when he had nothing to do. He also had to assess and recruit apprentices, which he tried to complete in the next few days.
Senior sister, your burden is not light either. Before the middle of next month, whether you purchase array equipment or learn how to arrange the array yourself, you must have preliminary results. Time waits for no one."
"Don't worry, visitors, I will supervise the progress and workmanship of the new yard. When they finish at the end of the month, I will start building the bamboo house. It will be almost ready in about ten days. I will purchase materials and items in advance."
The second senior brother broke through the ranks and fulfilled his long-cherished wish, possessing endless power.
Yue Anyan put down the tea cup, frowned slightly, and said: "Master, please help me pay attention to the time when Senior Sister Yun returns to the city. I have been studying for two days and encountered many problems. I want to ask her for advice on how to get started with the formation."
"Sure, I will pay attention. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Senior sister, you can go to the Daolu branch to read more books. Our Taoist temple has left too few basic classics on formations."
"I'm waiting for the officials sent by the county household to arrive. After surveying the land boundary, I will go to the city to read in the afternoon."
"There are still more than twenty days, so don't be too impatient."
Zhang Wenfeng comforted him, then looked at his second senior brother and said, "Please help me with a hexagram to calculate the direction of the hanging mirror today? When is the best time to turn on the fire and start the furnace to refine the medicine?"
The first time the medicine was refined, it was the hexagram initiated by the second senior brother.
The second furnace of medicine was ruined because he, a half-time magician, had predicted it.
Taoist cultivators pay attention to oral charm, so he thought it would be safer to spend three pennies to ask his second senior brother to make a divination.
Yue Anyan stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and laughed, obviously thinking of this.
The second senior brother got up and went to scoop some water to clean his hands. He asked strangely: "Why are you laughing, junior sister?"
"Nothing, I remembered something."
Yue Anyan glanced at the temple owner who was drinking tea as if nothing happened, and said, forget it, let's face it, the temple owner is sometimes petty.
After spending some time, the second senior brother finished the hexagram and informed the viewer of the result, saying: "You start the fire in the afternoon. I will have time to help you light the fire in the evening. Junior sister, just go about your own business and don't be distracted."
After paying the San Wen Gua gold, we talked about some trivial matters such as custom-made clothes and shoes for the apprentices to move in.
After drinking the tea, the three of them dispersed.
Zhang Wenfeng carried the package of medicinal materials and walked into the East Hall Pharmacy to process, grind and process the medicinal materials.
Later, during my free time, I practiced the Green Wood Wrapping Technique with the help of bushes, and became familiar with the new "Tangled Roots Spell" Wood Walking Magical Power that appeared in the sea of consciousness, but I could not use it easily.
He already knew that it would take time to recover the magical powers recorded in the ancient scroll "Tao Jing".
The specific length remains to be verified after he uses it next time.
At a quarter of the afternoon, the visitor who had cleaned up the alchemy grotto, filled up the new spiritual spring water and was ready, started the fire on time, hung the mirror, inserted the sword, stayed in the cave to watch the fire, and passed the time by reading travel notes and miscellaneous books.
In the evening, Yue Anyan lit the fire for an hour, and was later driven back to read by his second senior brother.
I don't know whether it was because the second senior brother's hexagram was really effective, or because the master's cultivation level had improved, and Yuan Qi was enough for him to refine the medicine. By the morning of the next day, the medicine was produced, and it was very smooth, and he successfully harvested more than 2, 26 yuan of medicine powder.
Zhang Wenfeng gave each of them eight dollars of medicinal powder to prepare for emergencies.
Rest for most of the day.
After the evening class, Zhang Wenfeng did not disturb the two people who were busy with something. He quietly went down the mountain and asked the donkey to walk along the path between the fields. Not long after, he arrived at the back of Nitan Village and asked the donkey to look after him under the mountain.
Standing in front of the ancient walnut tree on the hillside.
He took out the Shou Xian bottle from the black bag on his waist, took off the yellow talisman, and erased the Yuan Qi restriction he had arranged.
Upon hearing the greeting, Zhong Wenyong cautiously reached out to the mouth of the bottle and checked the environment. He only had a remnant of his soul left. He couldn't appear in many places rashly, otherwise he would be the one to suffer.
Seeing that it was night, he appeared and floated in the air, transforming into the figure of a middle-aged man.
Compared to last time, his figure was a little more solid, and the power of incense and wish was of great help to his remaining soul.
Wandering around the ancient tree, Zhong Wenyong stretched out his vague fingers and moved, holding the black bottle in Zhang Wenfeng's hand. Threads of dark yellow mist escaped from the mouth of the bottle. As Zhong Wenyong pinched and waved his fingers, the dark yellow incense slowly burned.
Slowly blending into the pitted ancient tree bark like a helmet shell, seeping into the trunk.
"Zhang Daoyou, you throw out a beam of Yuan Qi, and I will put the Yuan Qi mark on the walnut tree for you. I have reserved about a year of cultivation time. After it awakens its spiritual wisdom, it will go to the destined person to beg for closure.
Don't interfere. Sometimes it depends on God's will whether it succeeds or not. If it succeeds, it will respect you as the master."
Zhang Wenfeng waved his hand and threw away a stream of cyan Yuan Qi, "Is it enough?"
"Enough."
Zhong Wenyong mixed Yuan Qi into the dark yellow incense, waved it into the tree trunk, and continued to pour the power of incense into the jujube tree. He said: "The thief who occupied my statue learned some Shinto techniques from me.
The method of transforming ancient trees was too hasty, killing many ancient trees, and without using their own incense to nourish them. The demon spirit that opened up the spiritual wisdom actually had some flaws.
This walnut tree should be able to make up for it if I re-attune it."
Zhang Wenfeng asked: "In front of and behind our Taoist temple, there are more than ten ancient trees that are more than 500 years old. They have been influenced by the incense of the Taoist temple for a long time. Can they be enlightened into demon spirits?"
"It is best not to initiate enlightenment. There are less than one in ten ancient trees that can withstand enlightenment. Moreover, they have been used by Taoist incense for many years. I, the remnant soul of the former mountain god, dare not take action for fear of unexpected events."
Hearing Zhong Wenyong's excuse, Zhang Wenfeng didn't force himself, so he asked casually.
"Forget it, no more enlightenment."
"If Fellow Daoist Zhang is interested, I can teach you the method of igniting Shinto incense..."
"Thank you for your kindness. I have a Taoist inheritance, which is enough for me to practice and learn from. I don't dare to distract it."
"That's right. Learning too much is not a good thing."
Zhong Wenyong kept his hands busy, stopped talking, and concentrated on "enlightening" the ancient walnut tree and pouring incense into it.
He was busy for about half a quarter of an hour before he stopped. It seemed that he had consumed a lot of energy. His figure was blurry and more transparent than when he first saw it. After saying hello to Zhang Wenfeng, Zhong Wenyong escaped into the bottle to recuperate.
Zhang Wenfeng held the black bottle and looked around the ancient tree as thick as the water tank for a moment.
When the time comes to move the ancient trees rooted in the rocks, we can't be too showy. It's not easy. He then shook his head and laughed. It was still early. A year later, he might have other powerful magical powers that could solve this problem?
I hope that the ancient walnut tree can become wise and turn into a demon spirit.
Zhong Wenyong in the bottle suddenly said: "Zhang Daoyou, is this walnut tree far away from where you live?"
Zhang Wenfeng shook his head slightly: "It's not too far, about seven or eight miles."
"I suggest fellow Taoists not to engage in major wars. It is best to leave the walnut trees here to avoid losing their vitality. After the demon spirit becomes wise, it can use the vegetation to escape. Within ten miles, it is not a distance to it. It will come and go easily.
convenient."
Zhong Wenyong noticed that he had not left this place yet, so he guessed Zhang Daoyou's thoughts and explained and suggested.
Zhang Wenfeng pondered deeply: "In the future, spiritual energy will become more and more abundant, and it will be a matter of time for monks to emerge. If the ancient walnut tree becomes a spirit, it will always feel a little inappropriate to stay here."
"It's normal to worry about this. Didn't you adopt a demon badger? Next year and the year after, it will grow up and be a good digger. It can come in handy, and it's also very hidden."
Zhong Wenyong continued to make suggestions.
He still needs to cultivate in the bottle for some time, and actively express his own value when he has the opportunity.
People's hearts are unpredictable, so he took great pains to ensure a safe reincarnation.
"Demon badger..."
Zhang Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the little kid who picked it up, gnawed half of the intoxicating fruit, crawled on the back of the donkey every day and imitated the donkey's bray, turned on his spiritual intelligence and became a demon?
I'm afraid Donkey, the foodie, didn't notice anything unusual, or else I would have told him earlier.
Very good, Taoist Temple has added a new general.
If humans and demons are prosperous, they will have good fortune.
