Chapter 033 Animal Traces
When we arrived at the camp, Mu Yifei didn't say anything to me anymore. We each got into the tent to rest.
I asked him if he needed to find someone to stay at night. After all, this place is in the back mountain of the cemetery, and no one is on the night, so I am afraid that I can't sleep well.
Mu Yifei got into the tent, pulled the door of the tent up and said to me: "If you don't sleep well, you can get up for the night, I will sleep very well."
I'm on night?
I'm not that stupid. He is not afraid, what am I afraid of!
The tent on Mu Yifei's side soon disappeared, but it was not so easy for me to fall asleep. It was windy in the middle of the night, and the bushes around them were "very loud" as if something was wandering around our camp.
Sometimes there are gusts of insects, but a gust of night wind blows. When the "光光" sounds, the insects seem to be disturbed and then become quiet. They dare to continue until the wind stops.
These messy sounds made it difficult for me to fall asleep.
Interference from these sounds, I thought of gathering my energy to hear the movements around me clearly.
As soon as the air gathered on my ears, a harsh sound like a "ghost crying and howling" came to my ears, which made my eardrums hurt. I quickly used my breath to stabilize my mind and at the same time used air to resist the invasion of those sounds on my ears.
With the protection of breath, my eardrums felt much better when I listened to those messy sounds.
After my eardrum screening the sound, I heard that the sound came from the cemetery in front, as if the ghosts were talking and chatting.
But too many sounds intertwined, it makes people feel a little overwhelmed, and there is no danger around them.
At this moment, his voice came from Mu Yifei's tent: "Listen to the lies for a night, according to your current cultivation level, your mind will definitely not be able to bear it. Maybe in the middle of the night, you will be mentally broken and then become a two fool."
Indeed, gathering energy in my ears and then distinguishing those sounds is a very exhausting mind. After only a while, I felt a little tired.
So I quickly dissipated my energy and began to concentrate and regulate my breathing.
Mu Yifei stopped talking, and I soon fell asleep.
When I woke up early in the morning, Mu Yifei was slowly practicing Tai Chi in front of the tent.
Seeing me get up, he pointed to a large white kettle next to him and said, "There is water in the back valley. Go down to get some water and come back. I bring the noodles and you can set the fire and cook it."
I was a little reluctant: "Do you really treat me as a coolie?"
Mu Yifei said: "Otherwise, what else can you do?"
I thought about learning skills from Mu Yifei and gaining experience, so I had to follow his arrangements.
When I woke up, I carried a kettle and a hatchet to the back valley.
There is no road here, so I can only walk while holding a hatchet. We don’t know how many days we stay here, and Mu Yifei will definitely ask me to fetch water often, so I want to repair this road a little easier.
The mountain is not very high, and although the road is difficult to walk, I still arrived in the ravine in a short while. The water flow here is very slow and the water looks quite clear. I dug a hole with my hand and waited until the water became clear before I slowly filled the water with a kettle.
After I came back from carrying the water, I went to find some dry firewood nearby, and then built a temporary stove in the tent to set up a pot and started cooking noodles with fire.
At this time, Mu Yifei's morning exercise was over. He picked up the bucket, poured half a basin into a basin, and then began to wash.
The water he used to wash was three times that of mine.
I looked at him with some displeasure and said, "You didn't use the water, so you can't save some?"
Mu Yifei said: "There are not a few steps back and forth, and you are lazy. By the way, this water boils a little more, and the yin energy in the back mountain is heavy. The water belongs to the yin and gathers yin. Now it is summer. When the yang fire in our body is strong, if the yin energy in the water is too strong, it will damage our liver, spleen, stomach and other internal organs."
"You may not feel it in a short period of time, but as time accumulates, you will feel uncomfortable. So in summer, drink less raw water and more hot water, even if it is cool and scattered."
I asked Mu Yifei: "Do you still understand medical skills?"
Mu Yifei said: "Don't you know, Tao, medicine, appearance is not divided, medicine is Tao, appearance is Tao, Tao or Tao."
"You have a lot to learn."
Indeed, Mu Yifei seems to be an encyclopedia, and he can tell anything.
No, I seemed to be having a topic open by Mu Yifei and quickly said, "We seem to be talking about saving water, right?"
Mu Yifei said again: "After sleeping all night, the dirt in the body was discharged a lot through the pores of the face. If you do not clean the dirt in time, it will cause turbid cavitation and damage your practice. Shouldn't this Tianshi Master use more water to clean it? You must know that it is very important to wash your face early..."
As he said that, Mu Yifei was about to start reasoning again.
I interrupted him and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll just go get a bucket of water later."
After eating noodles, Mu Yifei asked me: "I saw you not doing your studies when you wake up early, and the same is true at noon and evening. How do you practice normally?"
I said, "Even when I sleep, I concentrate and regulate my breathing until I fall asleep, I will do some academic practices, but there will be interruptions."
Mu Yifei shook his head and said, "How can I stop practicing and studying?"
He became harsh.
I smiled bitterly, and I didn’t want to, but my life has been hard for the years. First of all, I have to live. To live, I have to do a lot of things to make money. The time is limited every day. I spend my time on how to live by myself, and my practice will naturally fall aside.
I didn't develop the habit of doing my practice every day, but fortunately, although I was interrupted, I didn't waste it.
I told Mu Yifei about my own difficulties.
Mu Yifei shook his head and said, "This is not a reason, it's just your excuse. I don't care what you did before. In the past two years, you and me, you have to do it at all. This is an order, and I don't care how tired you are."
"When you encounter danger, I am a little bit. If you take your life in it, it will damage my merit."
I knew that Mu Yifei’s request was to be kind to me, so I nodded and agreed.
Perhaps with Mu Yifei's supervision and guidance, my practice will be further improved. Maybe I can open the Heavenly Master Hall in the past two years.
The half day passed quickly, and although this was the back mountain, it was still very hot.
At noon, I ran to the back valley to fetch water, but when I fetched the water this time, I found that there were a few strange footprints near the puddle I dug.
Those footprints are as big as cow's hooves and have several toes. Because they are sandy, the footprints are not very obvious, so it is difficult to distinguish how many toes there are.
With such a big claw mark, is it a large beast?
I haven't heard of any large wild beasts appearing near the provincial capital!
I looked around and found no abnormalities, then I carried the kettle and returned to the camp.
I told Mu Yifei about the discovery of the paw prints, and he frowned and said, "Oh, there is such a strange thing, then you have to be careful."
Although Mu Yifei frowned, he was not surprised. Obviously, he had discovered the existence of the "wild beast" early in the morning, and when he frowned, he was blaming me with a hint of reproach.
Mu Yifei didn't mention his footprints anymore and asked me to prepare lunch.
The day passed quickly, and I also started my daily academic practice under the arrangement of Mu Yifei. At night, I asked Mu Yifei: "I found footprints of wild beasts during the day. Should I arrange for people tonight tonight?"
Mu Yifei said: "If you can't sleep, then you'll be on the night."
Mu Yifei was not worried about the monster.
I recalled Mu Yifei's reproachful look in the daytime. He seemed not to blame me, but to blame the monster, as if he was blaming the monster for accidentally discovering it.
Could it be that the monster was released by Mu Yifei?
But I was walking with him all the way. If he really raised a big thing, how could I be unaware of it?
Mu Yifei is a celestial master and must have many clever means. Whether it is a wild beast or a monster, he definitely doesn't want me to see it, so he will show a reproach to it after I accidentally left footprints.
Thinking of this, I asked Mu Yifei: "You can't raise that thing, right?"
Mu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"
I explained the previous expression analysis to Mu Yifei.
After listening to my analysis, Mu Yifei smiled and said, "You'd better not ask too much."
Mu Yifei said this more and more, the more I felt that he raised that thing, but what would be the big thing he raised?
I looked around and found nothing, nor did I have any abnormal breath.
Mu Yifei said again at this time: "By the way, your cultivation is quite pure. Have you ever tried to open the Heavenly Master's Hall?"
I knew Mu Yifei was changing the topic, but I was really interested in the Tianshi Temple, so I shook my head and answered him: "I haven't tried it!"
Mu Yifei said: "Do you know the procedures of the Heavenly Master Hall?"
I nodded and said, "I have seen it in a book and know the procedures of the Heavenly Master Hall, but I feel that my cultivation is not enough to open the Heavenly Master Hall. If I force the Heavenly Master Hall, I will be afraid of being struck to death by heavenly thunder."
Mu Yifei smiled and said, "Actually, your cultivation is almost the same as when I opened the Heavenly Master Hall. When the matter here is over, I will protect you. You can try it."
"With me here, I can ensure that you are thorough."
I was immediately excited when I heard Mu Yifei encourage me to open the Heavenly Master.
If I can become a celestial master now, then I will become an existence beyond Mu Yifei and become the real and youngest celestial master.
Mu Yifei changed the topic at this time and said, "Today is already fourteen, which should be considered the Ghost Festival. Some ghosts have begun to move. Why hasn't Wang Ziqiang moved yet?"
When it comes to Blind Wang, I have a lot of thoughts in my heart. Will Zu Xiwei follow him?
