After dinner, in the west hall.
The three of them sat across from each other and drank tea. This way of relaxed communication over tea after a meal gradually became a habit.
"On the way back, I heard from Ergou and others who were finishing work that there were two earthquakes in our area today. There were two earthquakes in succession. They didn't dare to come tomorrow. They wanted to rest for a few days to see the situation. Master, what happened? What happened? We were in Xialin Village six miles away and didn’t notice the earthquake."
Not talking about business during the meal, the second senior brother asked about the doubts in his heart.
Zhang Wenfeng was also full of confusion, but he would not show it on his face, saying: "There were indeed two earthquakes. I just finished refining the medicine at that time, so I came out to check the situation and found nothing abnormal."
He explained the reason why he analyzed it to the old lame man, as well as his search up and down Xianling Mountain, and said: "Let's stay alert tonight to see what happens. By the way, Second Senior Brother, please take a divination and ask. Good or bad."
He glanced at Yue Anyan.
The fortune teller does not ask himself, but asks his senior sister for instructions.
The second senior brother nodded, stood up and cleaned his hands, spread a piece of clean rice paper on the desk, and traced on the paper with a sharp tip.
After the ink is completely dry, take out six ancient coins from your arms and do the money divination.
After calculating for half a quarter of an hour, he put away the copper coins, folded the calculated rice paper and put it into the cloth bag at his waist. He shook his head and said: "It's confusing and I can't figure it out. I'm not a good person. This matter is weird. Tomorrow morning, I also searched around the front and back mountains."
"Our Taoist temple has been here for more than five hundred years, and the record books of successive temple owners have not recorded any such strange things. We just have to be aware of this and don't have to worry about it."
"Yes, what the observer said makes sense."
The two men bowed slightly.
Zhang Wenfeng took out two small porcelain bottles from his pocket, put them on the coffee table and pushed them to the two of them. He said with a smile: "Uncle Lame said that everyone who sees it has a share. I have checked the classics and found that Qingqi Powder will help you break through. You have four people each." Qian, take one penny every three days, not more. Also, after taking this medicine, you will experience diarrhea and expel impurities and poisons from the body, which is normal."
For those in the acquired realm, Qingqi Powder is still too powerful even if it costs only a small amount.
He was giving a warning to prevent the senior sister from being caught off guard and embarrassed.
There was silence in the room for a while, and the second senior brother clasped his fists in a gesture, accepted the porcelain bottle, and said with a smile: "If I had known better, I would have arranged the job of lighting the fire and keeping vigil at night, so that the temple owner could rest more and not be tired."
Yue Anyan rolled his eyes at the joking second senior brother, meaning that if you take care of it, I won't have any share.
She picked up the porcelain bottle, uncorked it and looked inside curiously, sniffed it, and couldn't help but say, "It smells so good!"
He quickly put the stopper on the bottle to avoid losing the medicinal properties, put the bottle into his sleeve, took out a small green cloth bag, opened it, pinched a jujube and put it into his mouth, saying vaguely: "I'm so greedy."
The two of them burst into laughter. Yue Anyan couldn't change his habit of eating snacks.
My family won't say thank you, they will accept it if I give it to them, and they won't miss it if I don't give it to them.
After finishing the matter, the three of them got up and turned off the lights to go to evening classes.
Zhang Wenfeng walked in front. When he went out, he saw the donkey grinning at him under the moonlight. Knowing that the donkey had something to do with him, he said to the two of them: "You guys prepare first, let me see what the donkey is like."
The second senior brother and Yue Anyan turned a blind eye to the donkey's strange spirituality, and the lame uncle's way of pampering the donkey to the point where it had neither side nor half of the wine. They were used to it and were no longer surprised. They nodded slightly and walked towards the main hall.
Zhang Wenfeng walked up to the donkey, touched the top of the donkey's door, and asked via voice transmission: "Can you tell me anything good?"
He had basically figured out the donkey's temperament. This guy couldn't hold his tongue, and he wanted to endure it to avoid being lectured by him.
"I should have found the cause of the earthquake this afternoon."
The donkey grinned, almost as proudly as a human, and it deliberately tried to show off.
In front of the viewer, it feels that such opportunities are rare and must be cherished.
"Oh, tell me, what caused it?"
Of course Zhang Wenfeng wanted to satisfy this guy's little vanity and asked the question cooperatively.
He was also very curious in his heart, what could cause such commotion in the afternoon?
Is it true that something is causing trouble underground, as the donkey said?
Judging from the little expression on the donkey, it doesn't look like him. The donkey is timid. If he saw something that could shake the mountain, he would be scared to death. Yet he could still stand here and chat with him.
"I found it when I went to get a drink of water."
The donkey had a mysterious face and said: "From time to time, there were bubbles at the bottom of the pool, bubbles bigger than eggs, which made me jump. Then I tasted the water. It tasted so good. It was better than before. It tastes much better. So, I guess it was the explosion of the spiritual spring that caused the abnormal earthquake."
Zhang Wenfeng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that today's earthquake would have such benefits.
"Yes, you are brave and careful and can analyze independently. Come and take a look after I finish my evening class. Please pay attention tonight and go around the mountains and hills of our territory more. Be more careful!"
The discovery of the donkey was an unexpected surprise.
But he understood better than the donkey that the increase in spiritual spring water was caused by the earthquake, not the earthquake caused by the spouting of spiritual spring water.
The sequence of cause and effect between the two is reversed, but the donkey is not in a hurry to correct it, making the donkey happy.
The donkey was praised and jumped around the field with joy.
Zhang Wenfeng went through the evening classes step by step, with a calm expression and a calm heart.
After the evening class, the donkeys who were listening to the scriptures at the steps outside the hall gathered together and went down the mountain to the spiritual spring. Zhang Wenfeng sniffed the active spiritual energy in the air and looked at the occasional bubbles in the water.
Under the moonlight, the pool is deep and deep, and the water splashes break like bright pearls, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
I took a handful of water and tasted it. After a while, my spiritual energy was more than doubled.
In other words, the water output of this spiritual spring is at least twice as large as before, which is a good thing.
You have to find a way to cover this area with a formation, otherwise, sooner or later, someone will notice the abnormality.
Especially in the coming spring, the obvious difference in the growth of vegetation will easily attract the attention and concern of interested people. Even if he buys this land, he may not be able to keep the secret for how long.
The value of a mouthful of spiritual spring is insignificant compared to the green bamboo sword at his waist.
The Immortal Spirit Temple is now weak, how can it protect such a treasure that is beneficial to practice?
He urgently needs someone to break through the situation and help him share some of the burden.
There are elementary formation books in the secret room of the Taoist temple. He has limited energy and cannot learn everything.
He also took a brief look at the various complicated calculations of the five elements in the classics, the derivation of changes in the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and the professional terms such as adapting to the situation, which made him, a liberal arts student, think that it was too complicated.
He had memorized several simple formations in his previous life, such as the formation to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, the Five Elements and Bagua formation, the Prison Formation of Drawing the Ground, the Soul-Sealing Formation, etc. Of course, he only knew a little bit about it and did not know how to change it.
When you have time in the future, you can slowly ponder and understand it.
After drinking a gourd of fresh spiritual spring water, he gave the donkey a few words, didn't wait too long, and returned to the mountain with an indifferent expression.
After closing the door of the west hall, Zhang Wenfeng walked into the quiet room holding a lamp and a gourd.
After silently adjusting his breath for a while to calm his mind, he recovered about 20% of his Yuan Qi and looked inside the Shenting acupoint.
He could clearly "see" a blurry and chaotic mass, and the scope was not too large.
It is the place of spiritual consciousness that is opened when he enters that state, called "Sea of Consciousness", which is an important spiritual source for monks.
The fact that he was able to see through the thick medicine furnace and see what was inside the furnace was due to the power of his divine consciousness.
It is recorded in the classics that if a monk wants to break through from Huaqi Realm to Jianwei Realm, the most important step is to open the "Sea of Consciousness". He has cleared the obstacles to breaking through the realm in advance.
Floating in the sea of consciousness is the shadow of an ancient volume with a simple style, and the writing on it is faintly visible.
This was his biggest gain from entering that mysterious realm today, not just making a furnace of Qing Qi Powder.
He believed that given time, he would be able to clearly see the words on the shadow of the ancient book, and at any time he could enter that mysterious state that would enhance his cultivation, make medicine smooth, and master spells at a glance.
All gains require time and sweat and cannot be achieved overnight.
He still needs to strengthen his practice!
