Chapter 193 A guilty conscience
Wei Wen felt particularly guilty as it was his first time being a thief, so he returned to the sect and began to go into seclusion.
The so-called seclusion of immortal cultivators sometimes means that their cultivation has reached a critical moment and they need to concentrate on cultivation; sometimes it may be because they are in a bad mood and don’t want to see anyone; sometimes it may be because they want to be alone when they are restless...
There are probably not many people like Wei Wenxin who are afraid to see people because they stole something.
No one else knew about this except Mingzhen Daozun.
So this unique ridicule is particularly interesting.
I saw my master squatting on his roof every day.
Squatting while chewing chicken legs and cracking melon seeds, Wei Wenxin couldn't even feel the pain during his retreat.
He couldn't help but get angry, and he raised his neck and yelled: "Master!"
Taoist Master Mingzhen chuckled: "Now you know that doing this kind of thing is not that easy, right?"
Wei Wenxin turned her head away and said nothing.
"Hmm? Why aren't you talking? Hurry up and find a place to process it into spirit stones! There will be some good stuff at the sect auction in a few days, spend it generously!"
Wei Wenxin turned her head to the other side again and still said nothing.
"Eh~~~"
"Tsk tsk~"
Wei Wenxin endured it again and again, pretending to meditate and not saying anything.
On the third day, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and opened the isolation formation. As a result, Mingzhen Daozun stretched out his onion-like fingers and gently poked -
"Boom~"
The isolation array was broken.
Wei Wenxin was so upset!
She just wanted to be alone and slowly heal the pain in her heart, but she was messed up by her master and her mentality was shattered, and she couldn't even get angry.
Just when she couldn't help but explode, the master finally left.
Wei Wenxin sighed deeply, and finally mustered up the courage to go out, ending this so-called "retreat".
She understood what her master meant.
Either don't do it, or if you have done it, be brave enough to bear the consequences.
No matter what it is, as long as she can afford the consequences, she can do it.
The opposite is not true.
If she stayed at home all the time and didn't go out, she felt that she couldn't bear it.
You have to be more obedient and behave yourself in the future.
How can that be done?
Wei Wenxin is a strong person and she doesn't like others looking down on her.
Even if this is her master.
When I went out of the door, I saw that the bamboo forest was bare, revealing the dark land.
The bamboo shoot season has passed and the place looks empty.
Wei Wenxin just felt something was wrong at first, but didn't find out what was wrong. After walking a few steps, he remembered - where did the thick bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest go?
The third brother usually cleans it once every winter.
When you think about the fact that there is now a family of five on the top of the mountain, and they are all so hardworking that they almost don’t even need to sleep, it doesn’t seem strange to you anymore.
Thinking of the family of five, she became interested again and took a leisurely walk along the path.
In the past, there were always a lot of spiritual bamboo puppets working in the spiritual fields. Now, most of them are gone, but there is not a single weed to be seen in the fields. At a glance, there is not a single insect to be seen either. All the spiritual plants are growing well.
It seems that the design of this puppet still has flaws and cannot perfectly replace human labor.
Especially those magical herbs that can be picked in ten years, now have quite some medicinal properties and look very pleasing.
These 70 million are really worth it!
The layout of Lingsi Peak is very simple.
In addition to the cultivated tea garden, there are also spiritual springs and ponds, and the huge bamboo forest where she lives. The mountainside is full of spiritual fields below and forests above.
It was simply tidied up at the beginning, and after a few years, it should have been overgrown with weeds, but now, except for mature spiritual trees and tree species with economic value, all weeds and shrubs have disappeared.
In the woods, chubby pheasants were waving their short wings, chasing each other, catching insects and digging the soil.
Thinking of the fox specialties he had eaten that year, Wei Wenxin couldn't help but drool.
Lingsi Peak is so huge that it would take a whole day to walk around it.
The Yunxia fruit picking season has passed, and it is not time to pick tea yet. Wei Wenxin is very curious about what this family is doing.
He simply asked Ling Cang to carry him and fly slowly.
After flying for a while, we finally arrived at the courtyard of the Zhen family's five members.
At first glance, Wei Wen was shocked to see that the small courtyard had five entrances in front and back, and even cross courtyards in the east and west.
Although it was built with ordinary wood, the change compared to the small wooden house at the beginning was really huge!
Could it be that this family has grown in size?
Knowing that he shouldn't make random assumptions about others, Wei Wenxin swept his spiritual sense quietly and saw that every courtyard was filled with talisman papers!
This is actually a talisman paper workshop with complete facilities!
When the talisman paper is just made, it comes in a whole sheet and needs to be cut. This is a technical job that most people don't know how to do.
But Jia Suzhen's craftsmanship was inherited from her ancestors. She had learned from her grandfather since she was young. Perhaps she was very talented in this area. The talisman paper she made was smooth and flexible, full of spiritual energy, and was indeed of top quality. At this time, even Zi Yu could only help her.
Look at the three children again, they are using talisman pens to draw talismans in a room piled with talisman papers. After each talisman is drawn, their little faces turn red with excitement.
While one was painting, the other two were responsible for collecting and arranging it, then gently placing it in a box covered with royal blue satin.
Seeing the three child laborers working hard, Wei Wenxin calculated on his fingers and found out that school was closed today, so he said nothing.
Just as she was about to leave, Zi Yu, who was stirring paper pulp in the yard, saw her and stopped her from a distance.
Wei Wenxin had no choice but to pat Ling Cang's neck and let it fly to the front of the yard.
When the man and the beast landed, Jia Suzhen and Zi Yu were already waiting at the door.
These days, the family of five has been working and memorizing the sect's rules by burning the midnight oil. Whenever they feel bored and impatient, they think about the embarrassment they will bring to Wei Wenxin if they make a mistake, and they immediately become energetic again.
You know what, the effect is quite good.
Seeing that she saw him and did not kneel again, Wei Wenxin nodded.
"Is everything okay at home these days?"
I'm only going to be away for a few days, what could possibly go wrong?
The housekeeper Zi Yu said no.
Instead, Jia Suzhen spoke confidently: "Big sister, many of those bamboo puppets have duplicate functions. Now that my husband and I are working, there is a surplus of labor and they are idle. I wonder if you can change their functions?"
"Oh? Are you having trouble with your work?"
Wei Wenxin is just a lazy person.
In order to make work easier, she often invents various gadgets. She appreciates Jia Suzhen's ideas very much.
"Well, I need help. It costs too much spirit stones to hire errand boys. The spirit bamboo puppets can be used as long as they are charged with spirit. I don't need to cook for them, and they won't complain of being tired."
This idea!
It coincides exactly with Wei Wenxin’s idea!
“What functions do you need?”
Wei Wenxin was happy to listen to her ideas.
"Because the talisman paper is made of various spiritual materials, my cultivation is too low, and I am a little powerless when beating and stirring the paper pulp..."
Jia Suzhen took her to visit the talisman paper workshop, which left her stunned!
After the Lingzhu puppet collected all kinds of dead branches and leaves, it no longer transported them together and piled them up. Instead, it carefully classified them according to their properties and levels. After a series of processing, they became talisman papers of different properties and levels.
"I found that after the talisman-making skills have reached their peak, the power of the talisman can be further improved through changes in these details."
She did not hide her secret and actually took out the talisman paper recipe she had figured out.
Wei Wenxin had never seen anyone who could make talisman paper to this level.
All talisman papers in the past were the same, and at most they were divided into grades based on how much spiritual energy they could contain.
Low-level talismans, mid-level talismans, and high-level talismans are just a rough classification. When people buy talismans, they also buy the ones they need and will not blindly pursue powerful talismans.
I didn’t expect Jia Suzhen to be so talented in this area!
"When I was young, I always thought about this. My grandfather said that I was daydreaming. Now that I have the support of my senior sister, I thought, since there are so many materials that I can't use them all, I will just give it a try. If it works, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter."
I am still the same as before, not really understanding the art of language.
Wei Wenxin took a breath, took out a hairpin and handed it to her: "Thank you for your efforts for me. You did a good job. If you are willing, please continue your research. I admire your spirit of research."
That hairpin is a protective magic weapon, and its grade is not low.
Zi Yu couldn't help feeling sour.
Those bamboo leaves have been wasted there for so many years, and their only fate is to turn into spring mud. Unexpectedly, these humans are better than each other at turning waste into treasure.
Wei Wenxin noticed it, but didn't say much.
She encourages internal competition.
Appropriate competition is a good thing.
She was struggling for life outside while her subordinates were just waiting to die at home. She absolutely could not tolerate that kind of thing!
Jia Suzhen took the magic weapon and put it on her head without any refusal.
Then he stretched out his hand and spoke again: "Big Sister, I want a foundation-building pill."
Wei Wenxin took a closer look and realized that she had been in this mountain for three years and had already achieved great perfection in Qi training, only one step away from building a foundation.
Sure enough, with the blessing of top-level spiritual veins, even if one's aptitude is poor, there will be progress.
This family treated her very politely before, but in just a few days, they evolved into such a righteous attitude. Wei Wenxin was very surprised.
I guess their family has a good relationship with Ganlu?
It is difficult for a casual cultivator to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it is not easy for an ordinary outer disciple to exchange for it, but Wei Wenxin only needs 10,000 contribution points to exchange for it.
He immediately agreed: "This is a small matter. If you encounter such a thing in the future, if I am not at home or in seclusion, you can go directly to the sect treasury. I will greet them and you can take the things and put them on my account."
The so-called "such things" refer specifically to major advancement events.
At the beginning of the foundation-building stage, the life span is no more than 200 years. When one reaches a high level of cultivation, decades will pass in seclusion. If these are not arranged well, Wei Wenxin is afraid that when he comes out, he will find that the whole family has missed the good opportunity for advancement, and then they will all die of old age.
That's such a loss.
Recently I really like watching mother ducks taking care of their babies, mother swans taking care of their babies, mother geese taking care of their babies... It feels super interesting.
