Seeking Zhang Dao Ren
was holding her, she wanted to cry out, but seeing those workers standing up and walking towards us, she didn't want to be harassed by them either. So she followed me back.The woman we were chasing wa..."We need to find a fellow cultivator surnamed Zhang, and also a legendary Guo Daxian who is said to be very adept at communicating with spirits and calming restless souls." I eagerly looked at Shijie Yilin.
Yi Lin, while washing vegetables, tilted her head and pondered for a moment: "Zhang Daoist's description is too broad, it's hard to find... As for Guo Daxian'er, I have heard the name, but this Guo Daxian'er is very mysterious. In our area, we only hear his name but never see him."
So mysterious Logically, there should be people who have gone to him for help or seen his true face, right
"Alas, my health isn't great, or I would accompany you all in searching for people. At least I could be of some help as a local." Shijie Yilin said to us with a smile.
"You don't look like you're in bad shape." I asked, puzzled.
Yi Lin's face changed color as she saw my brother and Xiao Shan Ming examining the koi by the pond. She whispered, "To be honest with you, I'm not doing well when it comes to having children... I miscarried two months ago and am still recovering."
She paused, sighing: "My master never taught me his secret techniques. I used to resent him for showing favoritism, but now I realize that women are too tainted by Yin Qi, it's truly not good... My master was only looking out for me."
"Are you ill because of a cold or something" I asked with concern.
She nodded and said, “My husband started a new project before, preparing to do big business with our fellow villagers. I don't know how it happened, but when they were laying the foundation, they dug up something. When I went to dispose of it, I was accidentally hit by evil spirits… Later I found out that I was pregnant, but then I lost the child and my body was affected… My husband is now terrified of me going near anything like that.”
Yi Lin, taking a moment, smiled frankly and said: "But we're from the same lineage, specializing in exorcism and demon subduing. Our purpose in learning Taoism is to eliminate demons and protect the righteous."
Shen Qingrui suddenly snorted coldly: "That dead old-fashioned Master Zongdao also said the same thing. What about exterminating demons and protecting the way for one's duty, it sounds funny to me. He doesn't even look at his own abilities..."
Psst! I glared hard at Shen Qingrui.
You're taking advantage of people's hospitality and not showing any respect!
"Senior Sister Yilin, do you guys only learn about exorcising demons and saving souls" I changed the subject.
"Well, that's all I've learned." she said with a smile.
"Well... I'll just say a few more things, please don't get angry..." I said softly.
She was taken aback: "What's there to be angry about We're all on the same side, and besides, you've been taking care of my younger brother. Just say what you have to say!"
Xiao Shanming and his disciples were quite forthright and straightforward like people from the north. They were all good people. I licked my lips and whispered, "You should fill in that pond you have here..."
"Huh" Yilin shijie looked confused, stood up and wiped her hands, pointing towards the entrance of the farmhouse restaurant, "This pond Why would you fill it in"
Her family's farm stay business seems to be doing quite well, probably because of the abundance of "water".
Because it is in the northern hinterland, water is very precious, unlike the south where small rivers and ponds can often be seen.
This is all man-made, with ponds and hills dug out and stocked with goldfish. They've even started digging new ponds outside the entrance to the farmstay.
"I'm planning to set up a fishing garden, with some fish and shrimp in it. Guests can catch them and have them processed directly in our kitchen," she explained.
I looked at the layout of her garden. The overall positioning was quite good, as one would expect from someone who practices Taoism; they naturally have a feel for energy fields.
But this farmhouse also has a homestay, and judging by where she parked, she could live here herself.
Here is the translation of your provided text: Let me know if you have any other phrases or texts you'd like translated!
This adds a layer of "home" concept to farmhouses.
"Senior Sister Yilin, we're saying... the two ponds in front of the house, with a small bridge connecting them to the building. This layout is called a 'crying pond.' " I tried to be as tactful as possible: "You also have guest rooms and your own living quarters here, so it's not just a restaurant, but also a residence."
"There is a weeping pond in front of the house, indicating continuous sorrows and misfortunes within the family. There will be frequent illnesses and disasters."
Yi Lin was taken aback: "Wow, Daoist Mu, even though you're young, you're proficient in geomancy and feng shui This is a weakness of our school. Master never taught us these things..."
"Actually, you've already done a pretty good job here, that's why it's so prosperous. I just think these two ponds feel a bit awkward... how about filling one in and widening the other Don't have them directly facing the entrance. While it looks nice now, it does feel a bit disrespectful to the homeowner." I suggested.
Yi Lin shijie nodded. "Mmm, you southerners are so meticulous and pay attention to feng shui."
"Northerners also talk about feng shui... Their cities are all built with solid foundations." I quickly replied.
Yi Lin scoffed, "That was in the past! Who cares about feng shui now! It's all made-up nonsense! Otherwise, how could so many demons and monsters be released!"
I bowed my head silently. That's true.
Besides high-level government officials, only those in the yin-yang circle care about karmic retribution, yin and yang, and feng shui. How many ordinary people even think about these things
In the Age of Decline, faith has been ravaged by "science," leaving it in tatters.
Science has indeed brought convenience to life and progress to society, but many ethical, religious, and cultural values in our bloodlines have been scattered and neglected.
Actually, the two are not incompatible, but many people choose not to be compatible.
"Oh, let me treat you to a meal and also thank you for showing me the house... I'll give you a red envelope!" Shijie Yilin said.
"No need, no need, no need!" It's just a small gesture, and we are all friends. No need for red envelopes.
Sister Yilin also smiled and said, “Then I’ll make more vegetarian dishes later. Let me tell you, I have many guests who come here to eat vegetarian food! They always want to come back for more! After this, whenever you walk by, you’ll want to come visit.”
I smiled and didn't bother her anymore. I pulled Shen Qingrui aside and whispered, "Don't be so ostentatious, why do you always look down on others! Their sect is honest and straightforward, and they are sincere people. Your temper is fine to let out at home, but when you come to their territory, do you understand basic courtesy"
Shen Qingrui looked reluctant, but luckily her phone vibrated, and she immediately picked it up to check.
Above is a piece of information, with only one picture and no words.
Her face turned pale, she hurriedly called, but the other end only replied with a voice message that it was switched off.
"Oh no...something's wrong" she whispered.
"What happened" I asked, frowning.
She passed me her phone, and I saw the screenshot. It was dark and blurry, seemingly a forest wilderness.
This location is strange, like shooting from a confined space outward.
I saw weeds covering the lens, and there was some strange smoke. Outside the smoke, vaguely, a red something was drifting.
"Who sent this!" I exclaimed.
"That Zhang Daoist is the one who told me about Guo Daxian'er!" Shen Qingrui's face was serious.stone slab, but I was afraid you wouldn't be used to sleeping on jade. I had someone lay down many layers of fine bedding for you. You can sleep peacefully." He said this to me when we returned to the...
