"'Everything in daily life is a practice', even digging in the soil is a practice, hehe!"
The second senior brother poked the handle of the hoe, and after being stunned for a moment, he let out a silly smile happily.
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 at night to recover.
This goes on and on, strengthening Yuan Qi every day and making progress.
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. It was certainly not very strenuous to practice, it just depended on how much the body could absorb every day.
A practice opportunity like this works best 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 will go to transplant the pan tonight." Jade tree.”
These days of digging earth and rocks have consumed and restored Yuan Qi, 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 happiness!
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
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 armed with 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 Together with the young man, there is someone to take care of him.
Zhang Wenfeng rushed outside the nameless cave. The donkey was wandering nearby to look for 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 be able to handle it without resorting to Yuan Qi.
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 senior brother that the nearby villagers call this narrow stretch of forest in the mountains and forests with a radius of twelve or three miles "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 in late autumn and winter, there are rarely any traces of people here.
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 didn't hear anything abnormal reported. 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 to 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 learned a lesson from 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. He squatted down and scratched the badger's itch, picking out 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 its inspection.
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 lifted out an object surrounded by mist. The second senior brother tied ropes vertically and horizontally on the mound, and affixed a purchased earth weightless charm, 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 rock mound onto the frame, and the group hurried on under the moonlight.
They met passers-by at night on the road. They were covered by formations, and it was impossible to see what the three of them were carrying on their donkeys.
The journey was very relaxed, the three of them chatted and laughed in low voices.
The donkey, except paying for a bucket 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 asked 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 was a spring rain, and grass and climbing vines grew on the hillside, and everything returned 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 return when he suddenly remembered that there were many dead bones in the stone hall where the witchcraft array was arranged. It happened to be here, so he buried the bones of unknown years ago, which was a convenient act of kindness.
Go around the sparse waterfall pool 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 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 and used his fingers to stir through the bone powder in the bag. He 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 they are.
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.
