Although Zhang Wenfeng felt strange that Yue Anyan was not participating in the morning class, he didn't pay much attention.
Women always have inconveniences for a few days. It is a rule that women cannot enter the main hall to worship the ancestors when they have menstruation. The same goes for meditating, chanting sutras and doing homework in the hut where they live.
When it was time to have breakfast at dawn, Yue Anyan still didn't appear. Zhang Wenfeng and his second senior brother looked at each other, got up and walked out in tacit understanding.
The two of them thought of a possibility at the same time and had to go check it out to confirm.
"Hey, why are you two going? The cakes and porridge will get cold very quickly after they are served."
The old lame man shouted hurriedly: "Calling the four girls to have a meal, just one of them can go. Why do both of them go?"
"Uncle Lame, wait a moment, we'll be back soon."
The sound drifted in from the door, and the person had already walked away. The two of them seemed a little impatient.
The old lame man took a look outside, turned back and touched the donkey on his shoulder, and said: "It's better for you. No matter how far the field is, you can come back on time when it's time for dinner. You don't have to worry about anyone. Come on, Lame Master has prepared something for you today."
Good food, eat more, it will be hard to keep vigil at night."
The donkey knows how to please the lame man without a teacher, and he drinks spicy food (wine) from the popular ones.
Zhang Wenfeng and his second senior brother stood outside the door of Yue Anyan's hut and listened silently for a moment. Zhang Wenfeng could detect the presence of someone inside, so he couldn't peep in and asked, "Senior sister, do you want to leave a meal for you, or should we eat together now?"
Soon, Yue Anyan's voice came from inside: "Please save me some food."
After a moment of pause, Yue Anyan's voice came again: "Master, I have broken through. Please stabilize my cultivation and I will come later." There was a trace of irrepressible joy in the light voice.
"Congratulations to Senior Sister for successfully breaking through the realm and being blessed with infinite blessings!"
"Congratulations to Junior Sister for breaking through the realm, Dao Ancestor is merciful!"
The two people outside the door looked at each other again. As expected, it was as they guessed. Yue Anyan took a dose of Qingqi Powder last night and successfully broke through. The two held fists and congratulated each other. This was a great joy for the Immortal Spirit Temple.
"Rejoice together, rejoice together, may you be blessed with infinite blessings!"
Yue Anyan in the room responded.
Zhang Wenfeng and his second senior brother turned around and left as they did not want to disturb him too much.
The second senior brother had some envy on his brows. He originally wanted to recuperate for a few days, and when his mood became more peaceful, he chose to take the medicine at an auspicious time in the evening on the 15th day of this month. Unexpectedly, the junior sister refused to wait even one day, took the medicine directly, and did it in one fell swoop.
success.
"Second Senior Brother, please don't be impatient. Keep a normal mind and practice your work. You can sharpen your mind even more at this moment."
Zhang Wenfeng glanced at the silent second senior brother next to him and gave a gentle reminder.
"That's all. I'll take the medicine in a few days. I'm not in a hurry. I've been waiting for so many years."
After the second senior brother figured it out, his expression became relaxed.
After leaving the backyard, I saw the donkey munching on a wooden trough on the side of the kitchen house. It was delicious. When I heard the two people come back, they wagged their tails without raising their heads. They didn't know what good food they had eaten.
"Uncle Cripple, Senior Sister has made a breakthrough. Please help her keep a breakfast meal warm. She will use it later."
"Ah... it's a happy event. Okay, I'll leave a copy for her and tell her that the magpies have been chirping on the branches this morning. It's really good news. Haha, our Taoist temple is going to have good luck."
The old lame man smiled from ear to ear. He suddenly woke up and realized that Zhang Wenxing had not broken through yet. He hurriedly comforted him: "Second brother, don't be anxious. You won't be late for a good meal."
"Don't worry, I can hold on."
After breakfast, the two of them drank tea and chatted in the west hall while waiting for Yue Anyan to leave the customs.
At about six o'clock in the morning, Yue Anyan, who had taken a shower and changed into a brand new indigo Taoist robe, finished his breakfast, crossed the threshold and walked in. His face was rosy, and he smiled before saying anything, saying: "Excuse me for waiting, the Qing Dynasty refined by the temple master
The Qi San is really powerful, and it was really a fluke that it helped me break through the key point!" He said and clasped his fists at the viewer to thank him.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and when she is happy, her usual calm and cool temperament is diluted a bit.
Zhang Wenfeng stood up and clasped his fists in return, stretched out his hand to indicate that he should sit down, and said: "Senior sister, please stabilize your cultivation first. In a few days, I will go to the city with you to assess your status as an individual."
"I'll practice for a few days first, and I'm not in a hurry to go to the city."
The two of them didn't talk much about the novelty of advancing to the Huaqi Realm, and they had to take the second senior brother's feelings into consideration.
After the two gourds of spiritual spring water were boiled for tea and finished drinking, the second senior brother got up. The sun outside rose to the treetops. He was going to take away the straw from the gathered bean poles and spread them out to dry.
"Sister, please wait a moment, I want to tell you something."
Zhang Wenfeng stopped Yue Anyan, who was about to follow him out, and motioned to sit down again.
He himself walked to the opposite side, opened the door with the key, went into the quiet room, closed the door and bolted it.
Yue Anyan sat down and waited. As a Taoist disciple, he had heard more or less that there were secrets in the quiet room, and there were mechanisms that could lead to the secret room.
It is said that in the early years, there was a story about a disciple who came down from the mountain secretly returned to the mountain, sneaked into the secret room of the West Hall at night, but triggered the mechanism and died unexpectedly. I don’t know how many years of old history, and the story has spread.
In less than a word, Zhang Wenfeng opened the door of the quiet room and walked out.
Yue Anyan stood up and took in both hands a thick book called "Weak Water Tide Survival Pill" and a book called "A Brief Analysis of Yuan Qi's Water Transformation Talisman", and then heard the monk's instructions:
"Senior sister, please take some time to make a copy of these two books. I will store the originals left behind by my master. I will show you the other classics and books after you learn the basic spells."
"Yes, I will read it carefully."
The two exchanged a few words, and Yue Anyan went out holding the book with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
After all, she was not considered a practitioner until she reached the realm of transformation. She was finally able to practice real magic and embarked on the road to seek immortality.
Zhang Wenfeng also went out later. He came to the back mountain medicine refining cave again, but instead of just making the second furnace of Qing Qi Powder hastily, he spent some time disassembling the used medicine furnace into several parts, cleaning and removing them carefully.
He hung up the medicine residue in the medicine cauldron, cleaned the cave, and then returned to the top of the mountain with the unused medicine bag and sword.
Without clearing up the problem of unprovoked earthquakes, he did not dare to start refining the medicine for the time being.
It would take at least a few days before we could talk again. Since there was nothing else to do, I said hello to the second senior brother who had finished practicing in the main hall. He also told the lame uncle that he didn't have to cook for him at noon and led the donkey down the mountain.
No one came to start work in Aishan today, and there was nothing much to say, so we headed straight to the city.
When I arrived at Daolu Branch, I went to say hello to Wu Qianping as usual.
"Brother Zhang is here. Let's sit down and make a pot of tea. I've finished my chores and I have something to tell you."
"Okay, Master, please hurry up, I'm not in a hurry."
Zhang Wenfeng agreed, then poured the tea leaves, water and charcoal to make the tea himself.
After the tea was ready, Wu Qianping also finished his work and sat down.
"There are two things that I want you to investigate. The old master came back yesterday and left in a hurry this morning. During this period, there were strange things everywhere. Our Xiling County Daolu Branch can use the Huaqi monk manpower
, seriously not enough.”
"Something strange happened in Xihe Mountain near Xihezhou Town. The villagers in the town reported the case to the county government, saying that nearby villagers went to the mountain to collect medicine and encountered a 'ghost beating the wall'. They were trapped from the sunset until the second day.
The sun was high in the morning, so we were able to get out of trouble. It happened not all at once, but three times in succession. Now no one dares to go to the slope of Xihe Mountain near the river facing the sun, saying that something dirty is causing trouble.
Two Taoist priests from the town's upper reaches and the nearby Qingshui Temple went to investigate and were trapped for one night. Fortunately, there have been no casualties so far. At most, they were mentally depressed and seriously ill. I have dispatched two Taoist priests from the Daolu branch.
Go ahead and explore first."
"Another thing is that there is an earthen mountain not far from Xihe Mountain, called 'Tuji Ridge', which is only more than 40 feet high. There was a shaking and abnormal noise a few nights ago. It was like this for three consecutive nights. I was so scared that I lived there.
There are more than a dozen families at the foot of the mountain who no longer dare to live there. The village leader invited Taoist priests from Qingshui Temple to check the practices, but they couldn't find the reason. I would like to ask you to go and check two things on your behalf. What are the reasons?"
"If you see something is wrong and you feel unsure of how to deal with it, just send the message back via carrier pigeon and I will make another trip."
Zhang Wenfeng heard that Tujiling was also shaken, and it continued for several nights. He became interested and took the file from Wu Qianping. He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. After flipping through the two files, he said:
"Sure, I'll go back and make preparations. I'll make a trip tomorrow to check what's going on?"
Looking at the description in the file, I didn't find anything dangerous, only "ghosts hitting the wall" and loud vibrations.
If it was a ghost causing trouble, he would just catch it and exchange it for merit to help him practice.
When the donkey goes with him, his strength and means greatly increase.
That time the female ghost in red pestered You Xiu and Gu Quan, but now he and Donkey would take action, and they would not give the other party a chance to make a big move.
