Chapter 75: The Arrival of the Celestial Master
Compared to the last time I went up the mountain, Mingting and Su Luoyan, who came back during the winter vacation, have also begun to adapt to this simple life. Even if the range of activities is not much, they seem to be able to find things and new discoveries that make them happy every day.
While drinking the freshly fried green tea, both women felt that this kind of tea seemed to be better than the winter tea I had drunk before. After drinking it, both women regarded the tea that had been put into bamboo cans as treasures and planned to be a drink for the future school.
Thinking that they would go down the mountain to go home tomorrow, both women were reluctant to let go. Perhaps as Hu Xuanzong said, they all had things that they could not give up. In contrast, Hu Xuanzong could live more freely and not so much concern.
"Xuan Zong, what are we going to do in the afternoon?"
In order to leave more things worth remembering before returning home, Su Luoyan would ask about the arrangements. For Hu Xuanzong, he knew very well that Su Luoyan and Mingting did not really come to Taoist temples every year.
When the Hulu Temple begins to close the mountain in the future, I believe the two women will gradually understand that the separation between immortals and mortals is real. Before this, Hu Xuanzong was willing to do his best to meet some of their requirements as much as possible.
I thought for a while and said, "The village sent a lot of bacon two days ago. In the afternoon, you can take a nap first. I will take you to the bamboo forest. At this time, the winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest should grow well. Dig it as a gift to you."
"Ah! You are really weird when you are the winter bamboo shoots as gifts!"
Facing Su Luoyan and making fun of her, Hu Xuanzong just smiled and refused to refute. If it were someone else, it seemed that there was only one or two tea leaves, which would be enough to make them lose their heads. Sometimes, Hu Xuanzong felt that this kind of ignorance might be a good thing.
When he arrived at the bamboo forest in the afternoon, Hu Xuanzong personally demonstrated and dug several tender winter bamboo shoots. He also asked the two girls to try it. It was obvious that neither of them could dig the bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots were hidden deep underground, so it was not easy to dig them out.
It was not until Hu Xuanzong gave them the skills of finding bamboo shoots that the two women realized the joy of searching for treasures underground. Although they dug the bamboo shoots, the two women were still very satisfied. Sometimes it was different to see and do it yourself.
In the evening, Hu Xuanzong used newly dug winter bamboo shoots to stir-fry the two women a plate of winter bamboo shoots. The result is conceivable. Both women were full of oil. Compared with the bacon, there was still a lot of winter bamboo shoots left, but the two women wiped out the winter bamboo shoots.
"I really didn't expect it! The fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots is so delicious! Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to grow meat again this Spring Festival."
"Sister Ting, your figure is already very good. You should look better if you grow a little bit of meat!"
"I don't want it! If you lose weight, you'd better lose weight."
When Hu Xuanzong heard the two women talking about their figure, he rationally chose to leave. Just as the two women were about to chat with Hu Xuanzong, Hu Xuanzong suddenly stood up and looked at the foot of the mountain and said, "Mingting, Luo Yan, go back to the room to sort out a look, there is a distinguished guest!"
"So late? Who?"
Although they were curious, the two women didn't say much and quickly returned to the room to change into appropriate clothes. Hu Xuanzong, who also returned to the room, changed into Taoist robe that he rarely wore and stood at the door of the Taoist temple to wait in person.
When the two girls changed their clothes and came out, they soon saw the old Taoist priest who appeared at the door of the Taoist temple. While curious, the two girls hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. Seeing the two girls, the old Taoist priest was also surprised: "There are still female relatives in the Taoist priest?"
"Mingting, my granddaughter who has been close to age, is also my good friend. Su Luoyan, a confidante whom I talked about when I was studying! Mingting, Luoyan, has met Taoist Master Fuzhen. This is a true Taoist true person. It's so lucky that you can see it!"
The old master of God who heard this also smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist is so serious! I am just an old Taoist priest, and I cannot be called a real person. The two female lay Buddhists have good fortune, and it is their greatest blessing to be friends with fellow Taoists!"
"Happiness and misfortune! It's too early now. I just hope that I won't bring them misfortune! Taoist priest, please!"
In front of the two women, Hu Xuanzong did not tell Master Fu Zhen’s true identity. In fact, Hu Xuanzong was also a little surprised. He did not expect that the old master would come to visit late at night. Seeing his clothes, he must have come from the mountains, rather than going out by car.
When entering the gourd view, as a monk in the fusion realm, the old master could naturally feel that the spiritual concentration of the gourd view was several times stronger than that of the outside world. In addition to being surprised, Master Fu Zhen didn't know anything to ask, but he knew that the gourd view was really not simple.
If the Tianshi Mansion had such a concentration of spiritual energy, I believe that the probability of those young disciples building foundations would be greatly increased. However, the old Tianshi knew very well that Hu Xuanzong did not be afraid of guiding him into the sight, and he would definitely have confidence.
The most important thing is that when he was practicing in the Heavenly Master Mansion, Hu Xuanzong, who was still in the foundation building realm, had already advanced to the Conscious Realm. He was only one level away from his current cultivation level. What about the future?
When the old master entered the fusion state, he felt that it would be difficult to break through the next state. In contrast, with such a unique practice environment, the advanced speed of Hu Xuanzong's practice is probably a matter of time. It is a matter of time before and too late to surpass the old master.
When the two girls were asked to return to the bamboo building first, Hu Xuanzong took the old master into the main hall to burn incense. Looking at the gourd temple that only worshiped the statues of the Three Pure Divine Gods, it was really hard for the old master to imagine that such a simple Taoist temple could last for hundreds of years.
Without two women by my side, the old master who worshipped Wanxiang also sighed: "Fellow Daoist's mountain gate is small, but he has a treasure land!"
"That's all for the protection of the ancestors! If the old master does not abandon it, why not go to the tea pavilion to have a tea party to have some tea? I learned that the old master was coming, and I also doubted whether the old master really had a great fortune. Just as I was cooking new tea today, the old master actually came to the door."
"Oh! Fellow Daoist also knows the art of stir-frying tea, so you really need to try it!"
After Hu Xuanzong took out the tools for making tea, he led the old master to sit in the tea pavilion of the Taoist temple. Looking at the new tea taken out of the bamboo jar, the old master was shocked and said, "Fellow Taoist, can I show this tea for me?"
"Of course! The new tea can only be said to have its shape and its magical effect is still a little worse. Maybe it will take some time and month to make this tea called the truly supreme wonderful product. I would like to ask the old master to taste it."
Smelling the aroma of tea from the tea jar, it actually contained a little spiritual energy. The old master knew very well that this was almost called a treasure. Even if he was still a certain distance from spiritual tea, even if he was this kind of tea, he would inevitably be moved!
Tea is an indispensable thing for monks to cultivate their body and mind. It is also a rare pleasure to drink a few sips of this fragrant tea every day. First, it is the spiritual energy of Taoist temples, and then it is the precious good tea. The true essence of the gourd temple is beyond imagination.
After picking up the bubbled tea, the old master savored it for a while before saying, "This tea is the best! It is a good fortune for a friend!"
As a result, Hu Xuanzong shook his head and said, "This tea can only be called a treasure for the time being! In time, it may be called the best. But I hope it will become the supreme product in the future. This tea will be released today, and the Heavenly Master will be despised. This is fate!"
Looking at the tea pot pushed to his side, the old master smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This thing is too precious! I can't ask for it!"
"The Heavenly Master gave me the eighth-grade talisman that day, but I didn't refuse. Today I gave the Heavenly Master a can of tea, so why should the Heavenly Master refuse? For me, although this tea is made new, it can still be harvested when the new tea sprouts, and the Heavenly Master can accept it with confidence.
Besides, I wish I could say more to you. For me, this tea is just a thing that quenches thirst on weekdays. For the Master of Heaven, you will need this kind of meditation for a long time. The state of mind movement is dangerous and unpredictable!"
As soon as these words were said, the old master also knew that Hu Xuanzong saw the realm he had appeared, and even knew the realm he wanted to break through. Entering the state of heart movement, he was only one step away from the golden elixir. But how many people could really break through safely at this step?
