Mountain dwelling practice: I am a gentle guest in the world

Chapter 297

It wasn't a dream, and it wasn't something that made her realize anything. Along the way of cultivation, she was guided by an unknown teacher and blindly advanced all the way. This time, she thought that the inexplicable power wanted her to experience how humble the weak were in front of the strong.

Those giant stone statues gave her a particularly terrifying feeling. The strange thing was that they didn't look evil.

But under their eyes, there is a fear that arises from the bottom of their hearts. It makes people want to throw themselves to the ground or run away quickly. If her enemy had such strength, they would be unable to compete.

When I thought of that scene again inadvertently, I suddenly felt flustered and heartbroken, and it was difficult to calm down.

Her skills have not yet returned to their prime, and the spiritual energy on the top of the Sang Family Mountain is not strong enough. In order to avoid this confusing situation again, she suspended her practice and lived peacefully like an ordinary person.

Refining the medicine is not in a hurry, but the elixir refining can be done outside.

After all, wherever she is, the alchemy furnace is there. Unlike the potion refining, the three pots can only be best placed in the west attic.

"Master," Maura, who had finally calmed down after seeing her agitated for a few days, said with great curiosity and fearlessness, "Has your poor self-esteem and shame calmed down?"

"Maura, be careful of getting beaten if you speak like this." Sang Yue's calm tone contained murderous intent.

"The truth is always hard to accept," there was really no way, Maura spread her hands, even though it had no hands, "Long Yu came to the mountain gate ten days ago..."

First he called Lan Qiuchen, then called her.

When there was no response, he went back to the B&B for two days. Seeing that there was no movement in the mountain, I thought everyone was concentrating on practicing, so I stopped disturbing them. He only told the person in charge of the B&B to notify him immediately if he saw Sangjia Mountain.

After explaining, we went back to the city.

"In addition, just yesterday, an acquaintance came to see you..."

The visitor was Zhong Hong, bringing with him a couple in their thirties and a twelve-year-old girl. After wandering around the foot of the mountain for a long time but unable to find the door, she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and drove into the village to identify herself to the person in charge of the B&B.

As a comrade and a colleague, the people at the B&B did not hide it from her.

Only then did they learn that the mountain owner was in retreat and activated the formation to prevent outsiders from finding the door, so as not to disturb their retreat.

Zhong Hong was both relieved and a little disappointed.

"...I was curious and overheard her conversation with the person in charge of the B&B. It turns out that the family of three came to ask you for help..."

Zhong Hong learned that Asang was in seclusion and might not be able to come out for a year and a half. Just like her last retreat, which lasted two years, it might be the same this time. They should have turned around and returned to their hometown, but they couldn't bear to see the couple return disappointed.

Thinking that most of the guests at the B&B in the village were strangers, I simply told the couple truthfully about their difficulties to see which fellow Taoist could help them solve their problems.

The couple came with their children, so the difficulty was naturally related to the children.

It turned out that this little girl was a normal child before she was twelve years old, and then she suddenly developed a high fever on the night of her twelfth birthday. Twelve years old is considered a half-grown girl, and her parents can no longer follow her every step of the way.

Her father was a company executive and was in the testing period for promotion at the time. It was common for him to leave early and come home late every day to work overtime.

My mother used to be an executive, but later she got married and had to go home to be a stay-at-home mother in order to take care of her children. Due to the difficult labor when she was born, she managed to survive but was unable to have children in the future, so she treated her daughter like a jewel.

Being a full-time housewife is a career-destroying thing, especially if you meet someone unkind and end up with a baby boy.

At the beginning, the man could still transfer the food expenses to her on time every month. But the amount was reduced from ten thousand to seven thousand and then to five thousand. My mother protested to him that she didn't spend enough, and my father was angry with her for spending money indiscriminately and not being frugal. He also said that his mother had specially calculated it for him and found that the monthly expenses of their small family only cost 3,000 yuan.

He was willing to give five thousand as a token of sympathy for his wife's hard work. Since she's not satisfied, just drop it to 3,000, and she'll have to settle the overrun expenses herself. He said that since the child was in kindergarten, it was time for her to go out and find a job.

Therefore, after the child went to kindergarten, the mother went out to find a job and everything started again.

It was not easy to find her old job. In order to return her career to the height before marriage, she was very busy every day. On her daughter's twelfth birthday, her mother happened to be working overtime, leaving her daughter and her classmates at home to celebrate her birthday.

The child suddenly had a high fever and fainted. The little classmate was so frightened that he immediately called his home to ask his parents for help.

Unfortunately, her parents didn't answer the phone, so she had no choice but to call for help in the class group. When the head teacher saw the news, he quickly asked for the address and then called the emergency number... When the parents learned the news and rushed to the hospital, the child was still in first aid.

When the child woke up, he became the dementia he is now.

There are many examples of children who failed to get to the hospital in time due to high fever, and their brains were burned out as a result. The parents were heartbroken and upset. In order to cure her child, the mother once again spent all her hard-earned savings over the past few years.

The father also feels sorry for his child, but he is a man after all, and everyone around him advises him to be sensible.

He said that children are like this, and no matter how much money they spend, they can’t be cured. The mother is a woman, and it is understandable that she is irrational, but one of the couple must remain rational and prudent with money. Because the child can be reborn, the money is gone once it is spent.

Although the father was disgusted by what the other party said, after all, he also felt sorry for his child.

But the good advice went against the ears, the child became like this, and all the mother's savings were spent. If a family of three continues to live, they will only have to spend more money in the future. How can they spend uncontrollably?
So he suspended his daughter's treatment expenses and asked his wife to take the child home and nurse him back to health slowly.

This time, under the father's promise that "the household income of 10,000 yuan per month will never change", the mother quit her job and stayed at home to accompany her daughter wholeheartedly.

Before you know it, the child will be living with dementia for one year.

One day, she took her child for a walk in the park and relived the good times when the child played with his mother. That day, the couple met an old man in ragged clothes who was relaxing under a tree with his eyes closed.

Seeing that the old man's thin clothes probably made even the demented child feel cold, he quickly took off his coat and covered it with the little dog at his feet.

Then I looked at my mother's coat and wanted to take it off and give it to the old man.

My daughter has always had a kind heart that cares about the poor and cherishes the old. Seeing this kind of thing reminds her of her child's normal years. The mother smiled with tears in her eyes. Yiyan took off her coat and was about to hand it to the old man, but the old man stopped her.

The old man looked at the child for two minutes and then told his mother:

"Your child was destined to be rich and prosperous in Chang'an, but it's a pity that he was harmed..."

Because of this sentence, the mother went crazy looking for experts to save her child. Because the old man told her that the matter must be resolved in the child's birth year. Once this year passes, her new destiny will be determined and she will be miserable throughout her life.

The mother knelt down and kowtowed, begging the old man to save her child's life.

But the old man said that he had revealed too many secrets, and that he had changed his destiny against nature and suffered backlash. Not only is his power completely gone, but his lifespan is also about to expire. I could only help people look at their faces, but couldn't do anything else. After saying that, I took the dog and left wearing the child's coat.

But before leaving, he reached out and touched the top of the child's hair and gave his blessing:

"A good boy will be rewarded."
