These badger spirits accepted the offerings and received ingots and money. After Uncle Ma recited the mantra more than ten times, they quietly retreated and kept bowing to me and Uncle Ma.
I said to them in a deep voice: "It's good that you can let go of your resentment and practice well, but you have to explain to me that Zhong San's daughter-in-law didn't hurt you, so why did you torment her?"
After I asked, an idea appeared in my mind.
"She is ready for immortality. She should have established a palace long ago, but she is unwilling to worship her. It was her Huangxian who asked us for help to sharpen her character. Her Huangxian also said that she can invite me to join her in the future. At the entrance of the family hall, we have a place to settle down and practice. I ask the immortal to help us and tell us..."
This was obviously the badger's answer.
But the question is, is there a Badger Fairy inside the hall?
This question really touches on my knowledge blind spot.
I remembered what Huang Naughty said just now, so I came to Zhong San's wife.
"You all know the current situation very well. The Xianjia suppressed the Xianjia in you too hard. I have tortured you for several years, but you still don't agree. That's why I found other ways to torture you. That badger just now followed me It said, it wants to..."
I can’t finish what I said, Zhong San’s wife timidly continued.
"It wants...to let me set up a hall and come up to practice."
"How did you know?"
"The old immortal told me just now..."
She said to me helplessly, and then looked at Zhong San again.
Zhong San sighed: "It's not that I didn't let her talk, my old lady was the one who took action. Later, her family was ruined and she died miserably. I heard people say that those who take action don't have a good end, those evil spirits and yellow fairies, etc., They are all harmful to people. They have caused enough trouble to my family in the past few years, so I really don’t dare to do anything."
I was not happy when I heard it and asked instead: "Who told you that there is no good end for those who are fooled? I tell you, the old immortals are all good people. They are dedicated to cultivating upwards. They are all on the right path and cannot cause harm. People. Whenever problems arise, it is usually because people have gone astray. The death of your aunt’s family should have nothing to do with the old fairy, it was mostly her own fault."
Zhong San's daughter-in-law continued: "Don't mention his old lady. She earns whatever money she wants. Even those who are not immortal will be given a court entrance. Everyone who meets her will say that she has a high authority and will die if she breaks it without spending any money."
I said: "Look, I'll just say she did it herself. If she's like this, the old immortal won't stay with her for too long. After a long time, they'll all leave. All the bad causes and consequences will fall on her later." On top of that, it’s surprising that she could end up well.”
Zhong San was still a little reluctant and asked me again: "Since the old immortals are all good, why do you torture the disciples? Can't we just talk about it and discuss it?"
This question is to the point. In fact, many people will have this doubt, why do disciples have to go through a lot of hardships, can't they be discussed easily?
I relayed to him what Hu Ma said to me.
I told him, in fact, not only the disciples, but also those who practice Taoism and Buddhism, who has not experienced hardships?
The reason is very simple. Most practitioners actually come with their destiny. People often say that the deities descended to earth because of calamities. This is the truth.
Since it is a calamity, can it still be called a calamity without going through hardships?
Even if it is not from the past, if a person wants to break through the shackles of the physical body, break through the limitations of thinking, and practice Taoism, Buddhism, and immortality, this is inherently against heaven.
How can we achieve enlightenment without going through hardships?
How can one achieve enlightenment without great enlightenment?
Suffering can strengthen a person's confidence, improve a person's ability, and change a person's character.
Only by going through this can one become a qualified disciple and lead an immortal family well.
In the words of Hu Ma, if I don't give you some hardships, even if you offer help to the disciple, you will still be half-hearted and promote two upright things. If the disciple is not good enough, you will lose a good immortal family in vain.
Therefore, the tribulations given to the disciples are actually the tribulations of the Immortal Family. The test is twofold. Only when the character is tempered, the disciples and the Immortal Family will be successful. At that time, they will truly be reborn and truly embark on the path of cultivation.
When I said these words, Zhong San half understood and half didn't understand. He smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to understand these things. I just hope that if a court is established, those old immortals can protect my family and make it better. My wife It’ll be fine if you can be normal and stop causing these troubles.”
His thoughts are very simple, and they are also the true thoughts of most people when they take action.
Just like me, when I first took action, I just wanted to pray for my aunt's longevity, and I didn't think about any spiritual practice at all.
The path of spiritual practice is very difficult, and there are not many people who persevere to the end.
I said to Zhong San: "Don't worry, if you set up the hall, your family will definitely go beyond the promised time in the future, but you have to worship these badgers. This is what your old immortal has told you."
Zhong San scratched his head and asked me: "This badger... how can I offer sacrifices? Is there a badger fairy?"
I said to him: "Don't worry about whether you have it or not. Decide whether you agree or not first. As long as you nod your head and agree, the dark clouds in your house will disperse and everyone will be exposed. I won't bother you again in the future."
Zhong San gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and finally nodded in agreement.
His wife listened to him and agreed.
This matter was done very successfully today. It not only solved the badger spirit's hatred, so that they would no longer harass the nearby residents, but also found a place for them to settle down and practice.
Now I finally know how Factory Director Qiao died. The police investigation was correct. He should have committed suicide, but he must have been obsessed with his mind and died in a daze.
In fact, the death of these people in the woodwork factory was a bit undeserved, but there was nothing they could do. Who made them so vicious that they wiped out the badger family?
After learning the truth, Master Zhao didn't say anything. He just touched his broken wrist and let out a long sigh.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, so I immediately contacted He Yuchen and asked her what to do about this gang member.
But she also hesitated on the phone, saying that she had never heard of Badger Zixian entering the hall, and she was afraid that it would be bad if she made a mistake.
In the end, we decided that we had to ask Mother Hu to handle this matter.
So I took Zhong San’s family to Hu’s mother’s house, but I didn’t mention Badger Zixian. I wanted to see if Hu’s mother could see through this.
Zhong San's daughter-in-law sat there, and the two gods played drums and sang lyrics, saying that they wanted to invite the old immortal of the Zhong family to come down and ask questions.
This time, as soon as the drum sounded, Zhong San's wife trembled.
After singing a few words, Hu’s mother said it was okay, and her old immortals came down and were standing behind her.
I also saw it vaguely, but not very clearly, just a few shadows there.
But even though the old fairy invited him down, Zhong San's wife still said nothing. She sat there trembling and didn't speak.
At this time, the old immortal didn't speak, so there were two possibilities.
First, the wrong person was invited, and the wrong immortal came.
Second, the immortal who came deliberately kept silent because he wanted to test the master who was doing the work.
Hu Ma frowned, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly said something.
"Why am I looking at you? There is a badger in your church?"
