Chapter 6 The second master returns to a little maze, ready to go into the mountains to find the divine pearl!
A few days after Xiaohui, Xiaoqing, Hu'er and Wen Gang repaired and opened the spiritual gate, they moved to live in the newly renovated courtyard of the Mo family near the tea processing factory.
At this time, Mo Caide's tea processing factory has been in operation for more than two months, and the finished tea products they have processed have been packaged according to the requirements of foreign merchants, and have been sent to all provinces and cities across the country!
This year, the crops they operate in the tea plantations, farmlands and mountains of Mowei Village have been very good!
After having a tea processing factory, they process the tea themselves, so their income in tea has doubled compared to before!
In addition, they have the base of the processing plant, and the grain, vegetables, fruits and dry goods in the mountains they produce can be directly pulled to the farmers' market in the county for wholesale and retail, so the income from this trade is also very objective.
Dongmei's mother said that in this case, after they get rid of production costs and taxes, their total profit will be more than 10,000 yuan, and they will repay the principal of the bank loan of 5,000 yuan every year, and the annual interest will be about 2,500 yuan after three years! In this way, it will not be a problem for them to repay the principal and interest of the bank!
Caide's father said that now, the tea they produce is in short supply, and from next year, they will begin to expand the planting area of their own tea gardens, and at the same time, purchase tea from other tea gardens for deep processing and packaging, so that their sales of tea can increase by more than ten times, so that their profits will at least reach more than 60,000 yuan, and there will be no problem in repaying the principal and interest to the bank.
Their courtyard house is next to a secluded path next to the processing plant, and the courtyard has front and back yards, both of which are wide enough to park a few large trucks, and at the same time, there is no problem stacking large items.
The courtyard is a two-story brick building with a new reinforced concrete structure, with a construction area of more than 2,000 square meters!
The building is built around an open-air atrium, with a large living room in the atrium on the first floor, a dining room, a banquet hall, a kitchen, a storage room, a maid's room, a children's room and a study room. On the second floor, there are adult housing, offices, study rooms, guest housing, etc., as well as underground warehouses and storage rooms for grain and tea.
Due to the large number of rooms, Xiaohui, Xiaoqing, Hu'er, and Wen Gang were each assigned a room, and the four of them shared a relatively large study room, and they also had a practice room, a small storeroom where their scriptures and ritual instruments were stored.
In normal times, Xiaohui and Hu'er went to study in a nearby county, Wen Gang and Xiaoqing worked for Caide's father and Dongmei's mother in the tea processing factory, managed the warehouse and finances of the factory, and gave them food and shelter in the factory, and gave them a salary of 35 yuan per month, which was much higher than their salary in Cailong's father's vegetable garden, so the two of them worked very hard!
After dinner in the evening, all four of them studied and practiced according to the spiritual plan.
One evening, after they finished studying and practicing as planned, they drank tea together to share their practice experiences and discuss difficult issues.
Wen Gang said: "Xiaohui! Hu'er! I feel that after practicing during this period of time, I am very tired and always want to sleep! However, when I work in the factory and play with my co-workers, I feel very relaxed and happy! Am I not suitable for practice?!"
Xiaohui said, "Yes, I feel this way too! If you continue to practice here, I'm worried that everyone will get obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression! Hu'er, you have the widest knowledge of the Dao, how do you think this problem can be solved?"
Hu'er said: "Alas, Xiaoqing and I also feel this way! Maybe it's because there is too little true qi in our bodies and souls! Recently, we have comprehended the Dharma and used the Wisdom Eye, Heavenly Eye, Psychic Gate, and other soul windows to definitely consume a lot of True Qi! Moreover, the 'Seven Spirits' that help me maintain my body's metabolism and protect my life also consume more True Qi! Therefore, we will have this symptom of lack of energy!"
Xiaoqing said: "Alas! Because, during this period of time when we are practicing, our family members have already increased our nutrition and the amount of food! These nutrients should be able to increase our true qi? How can this be?"
Hu'er said: "According to the Fa book, the size of true qi is determined by the number and activity of energy factors. The nutrients we eat can only provide us with raw materials for synthesizing substances in the body, as well as low-level energy such as chemical energy, micro-electric energy, and thermal energy to maintain the body's movement and metabolism, and low-level energy is hardly helpful for replenishing the true qi in the body! True qi can only be obtained by directly inducing and absorbing energy factors! According to the Dharma book, people's true qi is divided into six major levels, each of which is divided into ten small levels! We temporarily call them A, B, C, D, E, F and other six large energy levels, the small level is marked with Arabic numerals, the average normal person in a lifetime, only has the A8 energy level, that is, 80% of the first energy level! And there are not so many short-lived people! The energy level of the four of us may be higher than that of ordinary people, because we are with the uncle, the second master and other people who are really angry, they will naturally pass on some true qi to us, plus, we have been practicing and cultivating the true qi these times, therefore, our true qi can be maintained!
Wen Gang smiled and said, "Hu'er!
Hu'er said: "This is not easy to measure accurately! For example, by meditating, the second master can sublimate his body and soar to the sky! The Fa Shu says that this kind of person's true qi has reached at least the D10 level! What level do you say, what level are we?!"
Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Hu'er! Your grandfather meditated and ascended to immortality, but his body didn't leave! What level is this?"
Hu'er said: "This Dharma book says that in order to ascend to heaven and become an immortal, a person must reach the true qi energy level above C5! My grandfather is very sure that he consciously arranged to meditate and ascend to immortal, so his level should be above C8!"
Xiao Hui said: "Alas! The two grandfathers have cultivated so deeply that they have cultivated all their lives! Their true qi is not full! I judge that our true qi will definitely not exceed the B5 level! Alas, when will we have to cultivate before we can reach the true qi of our grandfathers? Next, we still have to use our true qi to carry out enlightenment, learn spells, and help the world and save the people to accumulate merits! These things will consume a lot of true qi! If we run out of true qi that day, even if we accumulate a lot of good fortune and merits, what is the use?! Will we have the strength to soar?!"
Everyone laughed!
Hu'er said: "Alas! Everyone has told us the actual situation! Now, our understanding and comprehension of the Dao is too superficial! Therefore, we must raise the level of our true qi in the short term, and we can only rely on external forces to solve the problem! Tomorrow during the day, we will go to the market to buy some high-quality incense and candles, as well as fruits and snacks for sacrifices! Tomorrow night, at midnight, we will set up a Dharma altar on the grass by the small river here to invite the second master and the master and other immortals to come down to earth and give us guidance!"
Everyone applauded with joy!
Xiaohui smiled and said, "I know that my grandfather's Dharma name is the True Dragon Dao Master, and the second master's Dharma name is Master Shanwu! When the time comes, I will be responsible for writing and asking God to paste it! My calligraphy is taught by my grandfather!"
......
At midnight on the evening of October 15, 1981, the 18th day of the ninth lunar month, Xiaohui, Xiaoqing, Hu'er, and Wen Gang set up an altar to seek immortals on the grass by the river near their home, and placed incense burners, candlesticks, and offerings on the sacrificial table.
They also spread a mat not far from the altar, and placed a coffee table on the mat, on which fragrant tea, fruits, and snacks were placed, and around the mat there were four incense burners in this balance, and they were going to talk to the gods here after the immortal prayer ceremony.
After Hu'er saw the time, he asked Xiaohui, Xiaoqing and Wengang to burn incense, light candles, and burn invitations and paper money in a small iron bucket, and then, the four of them knelt on the ground and clasped their palms together on their chests, closed their eyes and silently recited incantations, praying to the gods such as the True Dragon Daoist and the Good Enlightenment Master to enlighten them!
They don't know how long they closed their eyes, and suddenly they heard a familiar voice say, "Kids, go pour me tea! I smell the tea!"
They opened their eyes and saw that the person who spoke was shining brightly! The person was the appearance of the second master when he was young, wearing a Taoist robe, his face was radiant, his hair was coiled and flowing, and he was carrying a demon slaying sword with colorful gems inlaid on his scabbard!
When Wen Gang saw the fairy, he immediately stood up and rushed over to hug him, shouting: "Grandpa! You're finally back!
However, Wen Gang threw himself into the air and fell to the ground!
The fairy smiled and said, "Wen Gang, get up! I did be your grandfather! Now, what you see is the phantom of what I looked like when I was young! I am an immortal now, as long as my soul! There is no body and no life! Let's go to the mat to drink tea and talk!"
After Hu'er helped Wen Gang up, everyone went to the mat to burn incense, drink tea, and talk with the gods.
Hu'er said, "May I ask the Immortal Venerable?"
The immortal said: "Hu'er! Don't be formal! This immortal is called the Demon Descending Heavenly Master in the Heavenly Kingdom! If you have any requests, please say it quickly! Before dawn here, I must return to heaven! In heaven, I will take a pair of divine soldiers to the underworld to catch the demons! A day in heaven is equivalent to sixty days here! When the divine soldiers gathered, I received your invitation and asked the leader for leave before going down to earth!"
Xiao Hui smiled and said, "Demon Slaying Heavenly Master, it's okay! We have only an hour here for a minute with you, we have been chatting for a few hours, and you have only a few minutes there! Now there are still five or six hours before dawn, we can talk slowly!"
The Demon Descending Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Alas! Xiaohui is getting smarter and smarter! You must have encountered difficulties in the process of cultivation! Tell me about the situation, I'll help you find a way!"
Hu'er told the Demon Slaying Heavenly Master about the lack of True Qi they encountered during their cultivation.
The Demon Descending Heavenly Master said, "Oh! Every cultivator will encounter this problem! This is due to the nature of the material world. The material world is a very viscous and dense large sphere, and the outermost layer of the sphere is dark matter with less viscosity and density. The more you go inside the sphere, the greater the viscosity and density of the substance! And the human path you are in now is close to the center of the sphere, so the viscosity and density here are very high! And our true qi is mainly composed of active energy factors, and the level of true qi of every normal person is very low in the original state, and it can only barely maintain human life! Therefore, enlightened people will find ways to increase their inner true qi! You are in the center of the material world, and it is very difficult to obtain energy factors from the outside world! This is because the energy factors that surround the outside of the sphere of the material world are very difficult to enter the center of this sphere in the process of disorderly diffusion and traversal, because in the process of the energy factors penetrating the material world, the energy of most of the energy factors is absorbed by dark matter, matter, and so on! The number of energy factors that can get here is very small, and most of them are already active! Therefore, you have to cultivate for a long time to absorb the finite energy factors and improve your true qi! Therefore, in the days to come, you should persist in cultivating your true qi, and at the same time, you must use your true qi sparingly!
Hu'er said, "Heavenly Master! Understood! Excuse me, is there any way to quickly increase the level of true qi?"
When I was practicing in the human world, I heard from the teachers of the previous generation that more than 1,000 years ago, a group of immortals passed by here to chase down the devil! After the battle, the immortals stored a batch of colorful pearls on the Dragon and Tiger Mountain here! The content of the active energy factors of these colorful pearls is very high! Some Taoist cultivators, by practicing the "True Qi Collection Exercise", can absorb the energy factors in the colorful pearls and improve their true qi level! But if you find that these pearls have darkened, you can't use them! Otherwise, the pearls will suck back the true qi from you!
Hu'er smiled and said, "Thank you Heavenly Master! Understood! Excuse me, where are these orbs stored?"
When I was alive, I went to Longhu Mountain with your grandfather to look for these orbs! However, we have been looking for them for more than ten years without any results! I heard that the gods hid the orbs in a cave. However, we have searched all the caves there, but we have found nothing! Maybe this is just a miscommunication! You should cultivate slowly! It is even more difficult to ascend to the sky in one step!"
Xiaohui smiled and said, "Heavenly Master, have you seen my grandfather in heaven?"
The Dragon Descending Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Alas! See! Your grandfather's god name is now 'Great General of the Dragon and Demon Suppression', and he has obtained this honorific title because he has made great achievements in subduing demons in the underworld! Now, I am a team leader under your grandfather! At present, your grandfather has commanded more than 5,000 heavenly soldiers and generals!"
Xiaohui said: "Alas, my grandfather became a great official in the heavenly court, and he didn't go down to the mortal world to inform us! Isn't the place where you live in a sentient world?
The Dragon Descending Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Xiaohui! If I don't talk about feelings, the Great General of the Dragon Demon Suppression will not let me ask for leave and come down to see you! Now, my mission is urgent! There are more and more demonic beasts in the Netherworld, and all of them are strong in mana! Therefore, we are going to the front line, and this mission will take two heavenly years, that is, one hundred and twenty years on earth! You should cultivate well! If we are fated, we may be able to meet in the heavenly kingdom!"
Hu'er smiled and said: "Alas! I am so happy to know these things! When I was born, my grandfather ascended to heaven! Now, I am ten years old, and my grandfather has been fighting hard in heaven for two months, and my grandfather must have paid us unimaginable hardships, otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the rank of general of the heavenly kingdom! Let's not blame grandpa!"
The Dragon Descending Heavenly Master said: "Alas! The tiger is a good piece of material! You follow the tiger to practice hard, the yellow sky will pay off, and the birds will eat worms if they get up early! The time is not too early, our troops in the heavenly kingdom will be pulled out! I should return to the heavenly kingdom!"
Then, several children knelt down for the Celestial Master, and after the Celestial Master smiled and nodded at them, he turned into a dazzling electric light and flew up to the nine clouds like lightning!
The children knelt on the place for a long time before they came to their senses!
They sat down on the mat and continued to drink tea and chat.
Wen Gang touched his head and said, "Alas, I haven't spoken to my grandfather yet! He flew away in a hurry! I want to tell him, the next time you go down to earth, bring us a batch of colorful divine beads! Alas, when will we have to wait to see him?!"
Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Alas! You don't understand how to be a warehouseman! The management of the Kingdom of Heaven is much stricter than that of our tea processing factory! Our grandfather will definitely violate the laws of Heaven if he brings the goods of the Kingdom of Heaven to give them away, and he will be disqualified from the gods at that time, and he will have to participate in the cycle of life and death again! Do you want to harm your grandfather?!"
Everyone laughed!
Hu'er smiled and said, "Alas! In more than two months, we will have a winter vacation! When the time comes, we will prepare dry food, tools, tents, etc., and then, we will go to Longhu Mountain to look for the Colorful Pearl, and by the way, we will cultivate! The air there is good and the environment is pure, which will definitely be very helpful for us to increase our strength!"
Hui'er smiled and said, "Great! Let's start preparing tomorrow! Everyone pack up our things, and we can get a good night's sleep when we go home!"
Everyone laughed, put out the incense and candles, sorted out the belongings, and moved them to a board cart, and they pushed the cart and took advantage of the moonlight to go home.
