“There’s hope for the master!”
“There’s hope for the master!”
Seeing the spirit stone, the Indian man was so moved that tears streamed down his face…
He grabbed Shui Miao’s hand, ready to kneel and express his gratitude for saving his life, but Shui Miao quickly stopped him, repeatedly saying it wasn’t necessary…
After calming the man down, a new problem arose.
The man had promised to help some Nepalese elites with feng shui and the construction of a tourist attraction. Now that things had just begun, how would those soldiers let him leave?
The man was worried about how to extricate himself from this situation and also anxious about who would take care of Mia.
Upon learning of the man’s concerns, Shui Miao devised a plan. He created an illusionary formation to confuse the soldiers and promised to take care of Mia, urging the man to leave the mountain immediately. Initially skeptical, the man was astonished to find the soldiers standing around dazed and confused. Realizing Shui Miao’s true power, he thanked him profusely and, before leaving, passed on a cultivation technique from his sect to Shui Miao.
Shui Miao accompanied the man and his apprentices for a short distance.
Upon returning, Shui Miao slept in the man’s tent and carefully studied the cultivation technique.
It was a unique mental cultivation method, not based on energy flow. Compared to the cultivation techniques that enhanced intelligence like the Zhuge calculator, this one was even simpler. The man had said he had only practiced this technique in his life and nothing else. Therefore, Shui Miao believed that if he practiced it, he would eventually cultivate the protective Buddhist chants, just like the man.
Among cultivators, the strong could easily discern the cultivation level of the weak using their divine consciousness.
Shui Miao was eager to cultivate the protective Buddhist chants, hoping that once he ascended to the immortal realm, he would have an additional safeguard to deter formidable opponents.
It was definitely going to be useful.
After trying it a few times, Shui Miao found the technique extremely easy to grasp.
It was simple to learn, effortlessly improving his proficiency.
However, no matter how well this technique was cultivated, it wouldn’t manifest any signs, making it feel like there was no difference between practicing and not practicing.
Since he had nothing better to do, Shui Miao decided to practice it a few more times.
As he practiced, a sudden idea struck him. The man was a devout Buddhist, and the protective Buddhist chants probably required many people chanting sutras, which would then take effect when heard.
With this thought, Shui Miao quickly adjusted the illusionary formation, gathering all twenty-one soldiers outside the tent. The formation made them believe they were monks in a temple, and they began respectfully chanting Buddhist sutras. Nepal was also a Buddhist holy land, and people there generally knew how to chant. Twenty-one soldiers chanting together truly created the atmosphere of a temple.
However, after just a few minutes, a miraculous sensation emerged!
Shui Miao felt his spiritual power being enhanced by a certain special force. The more he listened to the sutras, the more the miraculous force strengthened!
That’s right, it was that golden, subtle force!
“Haha! So awesome!”
“This thing doesn’t require self-cultivation; it’s others chanting sutras that help me cultivate!”
“Those Indian guys are just amazing. Even their cultivation techniques feel like cheating. My cultivation keeps getting enhanced. Who knows, maybe I can even transform and cultivate immortal energy, mixed with the Buddhist chants. How amazing and thrilling would that be!?”
Shui Miao was delighted, never expecting that a simple act of kindness would bring such a reward. It was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise.
“What’s going on! What are you all doing at this late hour!?”
Mia was awakened by the noise, sleepily walking over.
When she saw the soldiers sitting on the ground chanting, she was stunned.
Shui Miao decided to pass the technique on to Mia as well, so she could cultivate together with him.
Mia, somewhat confused, followed Shui Miao’s instructions and practiced a bit. Suddenly, she felt her mind filled with golden light, which delighted her greatly. She immediately focused her efforts on cultivation.
As a result, the soldiers chanted sutras until dawn, their throats becoming hoarse.
After an exhausting night, the soldiers were tired and weak in spirit.
Taking advantage of the situation, Shui Miao activated the illusionary formation, creating illusions of a large number of snow monsters emerging from the mountains. In front of their eyes, the monsters killed the Indian man, his apprentices, Mia, and Shui Miao, then began devouring their corpses. The soldiers were so frightened that they fled down the mountain in disarray.
Seeing the group of soldiers fleeing the mountain like madmen, Mia hurriedly asked Shui Miao what had happened.
Shui Miao took Mia to the western side of the mountain, explaining the situation as they descended. He recounted the Indian man’s plan to return and save his master.
After hearing this, Mia wanted to go back to India to check things out.
Shui Miao had promised the man to protect Mia, so he told her about the man’s ability to speak Chinese and his good intentions.
Mia was greatly shocked and immediately lost her composure.
Shui Miao patiently persuaded her and promised to teach her some amazing skills, which finally calmed her down.
The two spent half a day returning to the old man’s hotel.
Then, Shui Miao specially spent two hours talking with Mia, reasoning with her and emotionally appealing to her. He promised to give her 100,000 yuan so she could return home, start a business, and take care of her parents. No matter how connected she was to Buddhism, filial piety should come first.
Shui Miao’s sincerity and kindness moved Mia to tears.
Then, as previously promised, Shui Miao taught Mia the Qi cultivation technique, gave her 100,000 yuan, left his contact number, drove her to Lhasa, and accompanied her until she boarded the plane.
With Mia’s affairs settled, Shui Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a large lamasery in Lhasa, so Shui Miao headed there, intending to test the cultivation technique taught by the Indian man and see if it would work there.
However, the result was ineffective.
Thus, Shui Miao set off again by car. It was already past ten o’clock at night when he finally arrived at the Dula town.
Seeing Shui Miao return again, the old man was deeply annoyed but put on a cheerful facade, greeting him with a smile: “Oh my, my little ancestor, you’re finally back. I’ve even saved a seat for you.”
“You’re saying nice things, but in your heart, you’re cursing me, right? You little bastard, why aren’t you dead yet?” Shui Miao closed the car door and shook his head at the old man, saying, “I can read minds, you know. I know what you’re thinking. Don’t try to play tricks on me. If you try it again, I’ll make sure you can’t get away with it.”
In fact, the old man had already sensed something unusual about Shui Miao.
A piece of stone had been there for a long time without any issues, but things changed the moment Shui Miao arrived?
He climbed up the snowy mountain without any luggage in the middle of the night and even drove away the female ghost on the mountain. Was that something an ordinary person could do?
Now he had brought back the translator of the Indian feng shui master and even sent her off on a plane. That was even more unbelievable!
An ordinary person would need at least a day to go up and down the mountain once, but Shui Miao, without eating or sleeping, had made several round trips and accomplished many tasks.
The old man deeply understood that Shui Miao was someone of great importance and dared not offend him.
Now that his thoughts had been guessed by Shui Miao, he felt extremely nervous and quickly apologized with an embarrassed smile.
Shui Miao patted the old man’s shoulder, “It’s okay. Everyone goes through this kind of thinking. I’m just more enlightened than you. I don’t blame you. As long as we communicate smoothly, it’s fine. If you hadn’t been so greedy from the beginning, I wouldn’t have troubled you. I just can’t stand those who do evil things against their conscience. I mean, look at you, with so many years behind you, what do you need so much money for? Earn a little less, make more friends, create a harmonious atmosphere, and make everyone feel like family. That would be so much better, wouldn’t it? Just think, when people who have eaten and drunk here go back home and talk about you, they’ll speak well of you. That would be such a face-saving thing! But you?”
Shui Miao spoke from the heart with the old man, hoping he would change for the better. It would be beneficial for both himself and others.
“Ah, I will definitely change. I promise, I will definitely change!”
The old man was slightly moved, feeling that Shui Miao’s words made sense, but who in this world doesn’t love money?
“Forget it, everything happens for a reason. I don’t need to eat. Just keep an eye on my car here.” Shui Miao handed the car key to the old man and, in the darkness, headed up the mountain.
“…”
The old man watched Shui Miao’s back, quickly pondering in his mind. Why was he in such a hurry to go up the mountain?
“Hey, I heard there are bad people up there. Be careful.”
Suddenly, the old man thought of something. During the day, two Tibetan customers came to eat and were whispering about going to a meeting. This operation was very important, possibly a major action.
“No worries. The bad people who can threaten me haven’t even been born yet.”
Shui Miao was unconcerned.
With his current cultivation, there was little to fear from ordinary humans. It was ghosts and deities that were truly terrifying.
He climbed the mountain at night for no other reason than to strive for improvement in strength and cultivation.
On his way back, Shui Miao had already made up his mind. Now he was at a bottleneck in his cultivation, and it was difficult to break through with his own strength alone. The best way to solve this problem was to seek help from experts, and the only expert here was the mountain god.
It wasn’t easy to meet the mountain god, but Shui Miao firmly believed that where there’s a will, there’s a way.
In one breath, he rushed to the cave entrance, directly flew into the cave, and followed the rock crevice passage to find the eel spirit and the mountain monster.
The eel spirit and the mountain monster were now living very comfortably and carefree, knowing only how to play, since the little ghost head had been destroyed.
From a distance, they spotted Shui Miao.
Seeing the two little demons, Shui Miao immediately took out some small toys he had bought in Lhasa from his backpack. Considering they had never been down the mountain before, he had bought some, thinking they would like them. There were plastic toy cars, Rubik’s cubes, Ultraman figures, handheld game consoles, dolls, crystal balls, and other small toys.
Seeing the toys, the two little monsters were stunned!
Shui Miao found it hard to describe the expression on the demons’ faces when they saw the toys. When they realized that the things in front of them were indeed toys, they were immediately captivated by them.
In his heart, Shui Miao mused that rather than calling them demons, it would be more accurate to say they were like innocent children.
Looking at them, Shui Miao suddenly thought, if these little demons knew as much as he did, what would they be like? They might become very powerful, a local overlord, or even become immortals!
“Brother, how do you play this!”
“This one, teach me how to do it…”
The eel spirit held a handheld game console, and the mountain monster held a Rubik’s cube. They gathered around Shui Miao, asking him to teach them how to play.
Shui Miao was like a kindergarten teacher, patiently teaching them how to play.
Once they had all learned how to play, Shui Miao finally got to the point, “I need your help. I want to see the mountain god.”
“What! You want to see the mountain god!”
“Brother, how could you have such a strange idea…”
The two monsters immediately stopped what they were doing. They both dropped their toys and looked shocked.
Shui Miao touched his nose, smiled slightly, “What’s wrong? The mountain god doesn’t eat people, right? Can’t I meet him?”
“What do you mean the mountain god doesn’t eat people?”
“Oh brother, the mountain god is really fierce. Sometimes he eats people. You’d better not go to see him. it’s too dangerous.”
“Little brother, you don’t know the situation. Every year, the mountain god comes out to eat one person and absorbs all their vital energy. He hasn’t eaten anyone this year yet. If you go looking for him, you’re just asking for trouble.”
“That’s right. Some of the climbers and skiers who had accidents and fell to their deaths, you think they died how? Actually, they were killed by the mountain god.”
The eel spirit and the mountain monster whispered in hushed tones.
The atmosphere became a bit tense.
In Shui Miao’s impression, the mountain god was a mighty, rough-looking, emotional, and righteous deity who never killed innocents, a very positive presence. But after hearing the two little demons’ words, why did the mountain god seem like an evil demon now?
“Wow, after hearing you two talk like that, I think I’ll just forget it. I won’t go see him anymore. I originally wanted to ask him to help me break through my cultivation bottleneck and cultivate immortal energy.” Shui Miao sighed helplessly, but suddenly an idea struck him, and he quickly asked, “Hey, do you two have any friends who have cultivated immortal energy? Introduce me to a reliable one and help me out, okay?”
“Breakthrough to immortal energy!”
The eel spirit and the mountain monster looked at each other, blinking their eyes.
“Woah!” Suddenly, the mountain monster let out an excited cry, “Brother, you’re already this powerful! Are you going to become an immortal too!?”
“Shut up, you’re scaring people with your yelling.” The eel spirit pushed the mountain monster and then seriously started to ponder, resting his round chin on his hand, “Let me think, let me think… Little Five, what about the mountain god’s younger sister, Xiaocaidie?”
“Xiaocaidie! That sister who is as beautiful as a fairy?” The mountain monster’s big eyes sparkled.
“That’s right!” The eel spirit gave the mountain monster a look that said he was an idiot, “Besides her, the mountain god doesn’t have any other sisters.”
“What about the white fox fairy?” The mountain monster quickly added.
“You’re so dumb, Little Five, I feel like hitting you! The white fox fairy is clearly the mountain god’s concubine. How can you not even know their relationship!?”
The mountain monster quickly defended himself seriously, “What are you talking about! I once clearly saw the mountain god hugging the white fox fairy while they were both naked. The mountain god kept saying ‘good sister, good sister’ while the white fox fairy kept saying ‘good brother, good brother’!”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Shui Miao and the eel spirit immediately started nosebleeds.
