“‘Everything we do in our daily life is practice.’ Even digging in the soil is practice, hehe!”
The second senior brother poked at the handle of the hoe, and after being stunned for a moment, he laughed happily to himself.
Starting from the 21st of the previous year, he spent at least three hours every day digging rocks with Yuan Qi infusion instruments. He exhausted his Yuan Qi several times a day and meditated to recover at night.
This goes around and over again, and we are making progress every day by consolidating Yuan Qi.
As of today, the eighth day of the first lunar month, my cultivation has been successful and I have unknowingly advanced to the late stage of Huaqi Realm.
He also knew that it was thanks to the great formation of the mountain gate that there was abundant spiritual energy up and down the mountain gate, and the spiritual energy in the water pool and bamboo tower was particularly strong. Of course, it was not very strenuous to practice, it just depended on how much the body could absorb every day.
A practice opportunity like this is most effective the first time.
The path of spiritual practice requires various kinds of cultivation and experience. Otherwise, you will not be able to dig out a gradual level of cultivation after digging for a lifetime.
Yue Anyan stopped what he was doing, stood up and took a look, with a smile in his eyes: "Congratulations, senior brother, on the promotion! Senior brother, you go back to practice stably, and there are a few small tasks left to finish. I can do it. You stay energetic, we have to transplant the pan tonight."
Jade tree.”
These days of digging earth and rocks have consumed Yuan Qi and restored it, and her cultivation has also improved a lot.
She could understand the second senior brother's mood at this time.
The second senior brother was not stubborn. The cave and secret passage had been dug, and only the finishing touches of laying the green bricks were left. He packed up his tools and said, "Thank you, junior sister," and got out of the hole. He was covered in mud from head to toe, but his heart was filled with joy and refreshment.
Every step he takes on the path of spiritual practice is a new experience for him.
He enjoys this novelty and is happy!
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
After the "Lamp-Lighting and Fighting" prayer ceremony was held on the eighth day of the first lunar month in the main hall, the second senior brother, Yue Anyan, the donkey and the mountain badger set off first, heading towards the remote mountains in the northwest.
Zhang Wenfeng spent some time cleaning up the burned candles and lampstands in the main hall, cleaning the floor, closing the hall door, going down the mountain and knocking on the door of the old lame man's courtyard, and handed two specially customized announcement fireworks in the city to the old cripple, and whispered a few words
sentence, and then walked northwest of the forest on a path to leave.
The old cripple went back to his house, picked up his newly made iron gun, and went next door to call Wei Jingjie.
An old man and a young man, each holding a spear, patrolled along the Fairy Mountain. If they found someone breaking into the formation, they ignored it and lit the fireworks and threw them into the sky. The old lame man was worried that his eyes were dim and missed the entrustment of the viewer, so he called out.
Together as a young man, there is someone to take care of you.
Zhang Wenfeng rushed outside the nameless cave. The donkey was wandering nearby to watch the wind. After saying hello, the donkey continued to wander.
He stretched out his consciousness and saw two people and a badger in the cave, busy. Yue Anyan used a water talisman purchased from the city to squeeze the water surface near the mound to form a huge depression, which made it easier for them to move around the mound.
Excavate the rock below.
Mountain badgers are really good at digging rocks and burrows, with sharp claws and teeth.
It can instinctively tell where there is more mud and less rocks. It starts from the weak spot and digs quickly without damaging the root system of the spiritual plant.
After saying hello to the two people in the cave, Zhang Wenfeng did not go in to join in the fun, and the two of them would not let him do anything. He came here to escort them and ensure that nothing went wrong.
If something really happened, he would not hesitate to use Yuan Qi to deal with it.
Lying on the dry grass on the south-facing hillside with pillows on his hands, he looked at the half-moon in the sky and waited.
I heard from the second brother that the nearby villagers call this narrow stretch of forest in the mountains and forests with a radius of 12 to 13 miles, the "haunted forest". For some years, Taoist priests were invited to perform rituals in the past. The nearby villagers did not go deep into it and were relatively taboo about this place.
, except for the hunters who come here to hunt and collect herbs and dried fruits after autumn and winter, there are usually no traces of people.
Nothing comes out of nowhere, everything happens for a reason.
I just don’t know why the personnel sent from the Daolu Branch didn’t find out that there was a ghost-faced snake hiding here when they went to the countryside last year?
I haven't heard any unusual reports, maybe the ghost-faced snake is cunning and hiding?
Time passed slowly. Zhang Wenfeng lay very relaxed and almost fell asleep. He was relieved to have a donkey patrolling him.
Hearing a noise at the foot of the mountain to the east, I stood up, patted the grass clippings and sand on my body, and walked near the cave. After waiting for a while, there was sand emerging from the foot of the mountain.
The mountain badger emerged from the mud covered in mud, ran to the viewer and lay down directly on the ground, exposing its belly to the sky, raising its four short legs, opening its eyes and looking at the smiling viewer, and almost said, "Come on, come and scratch it"
It's itchy.
It was taught a lesson by the donkey father last time. When there was mud on its body, it would not climb up the trouser leg of the viewer.
Zhang Wenfeng didn't mind getting his hands dirty, so he squatted down and scratched the badger's itch, picking at the tender spots like kneading dough. He felt that if he continued like this, the badger would be trained into a pig by him and would lie down when he saw him.
The donkey came over and raised his hoof angrily, preparing to give the little guy a violent shudder with his eyes narrowed in enjoyment.
When the viewer waved his hand to stop it, it shook its head and continued to patrol.
About half an hour later, the second senior brother followed the mud hole drilled by the mountain badger and dug out a tunnel about ten feet high from the cave to the foot of the mountain.
The second brother, who was covered in dirt, grinned at the viewer who stood up, showing his white teeth, and turned back into the cave.
Soon, He and Yue Anyan carried out an object surrounded by mist. The second senior brother tied ropes vertically and horizontally on the mound, and affixed a purchased Earth Weightless Talisman, which made the mound of rocks lighter by more than half, and at most there was still some weight.
He can weigh more than two thousand kilograms by himself.
Zhang Wenfeng had already installed a wooden frame on the donkey's back, lifted the pile of rocks and soil onto the frame, and the group hurried on under the moonlight.
They met passers-by at night on the road. They were covered by a formation, and it was impossible to see what the three of them were carrying on their donkeys.
The journey was very relaxing, the three of them chatted and laughed in low voices.
The donkey, except paying for a handful of copper coins to buy wine, kept his head down and hurried on his way.
After being escorted back to the gate of Taoist Temple, he greeted the old lame man and told the old lame man and the young man who had been patrolling most of the night to go to sleep. Zhang Wenfeng went to the haunted forest alone and used a shovel to re-block the dug hole.
By then, there would be a spring rain, grass would grow on the hillside, and vines would grow on it, and everything would return to its original state. Except for the mounds of soil that disappeared from the cave, nothing unusual could be seen.
The moon's shadow moves westward, and the night forest is quiet.
Zhang Wenfeng was about to go back when he suddenly remembered that there were many dead bones in the stone hall where the witchcraft array was arranged. He happened to be here, so he buried the bones from who knows how many years ago, which was a convenient act of kindness.
Go around the sparse waterfalls and pools in the northwest, use the uneven rocks to jump a few times, and get into the hidden cave.
He took out the magic wood bead and illuminated the stone wall to find the hidden water wave portal. He grabbed the shovel and walked into the hall. He took out a candle from the storage space and lit it. He went to the corner and used the shovel to shovel the dead bones and put them on his bed.
Inside the open cloth bag.
There was a metallic luster in the broken bones, which shimmered in the light of the candle inserted diagonally into the stone wall.
Zhang Wenfeng squatted down, stirred the bone powder in the bag with his fingers, and found a few bean-sized black metal beads, one of which was jade-colored. He picked it out and put it on the ground. He fiddled with the bone pile for a while, and found a total of twelve
He guessed that they were the remaining materials after the treasures were destroyed by the great formation.
Go to the next place and continue to collect the remaining bones.
All the skeletons in the hall were collected in two large bags, and there were thirty-five metal beads, most of which were black, including five gold, three jade, and two silver. He packed them in a box and put them away.
object space.
When I become more knowledgeable in the future, I will figure out what it is.
I found a good Feng Shui spot in the forest on the south high ground, buried the two cloth bags, burned incense and chanted sutras for a while, then returned to the Taoist temple.
