Chapter 240 The Master's Formation
Mr. and Mrs. Wei, who were resting in the pavilion, watched helplessly as the three figures disappeared into the cave.
Uncle Wei pointed to the cave entrance, "Ah, this is...it is..."
After arguing for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a clear answer.
Wen Yuanqian comforted him, "Mingshan, listen to what your uncle has to say..."
Wen Yuanqian succinctly explained the matter of cultivation, and the Wen family members provided explanations from the side. With Wen Chengbin, the lively character, present, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
Since following the Wen family into the mountains, Uncle Wei and his wife felt that the day had been very exciting. Their hearts were going up and down all day long, and they were very excited. What they experienced that day completely overturned their previous understanding. Their knowledge of magic was limited to fire-breathing tricks performed on the street. They had never seen such a skill before.
Listening to what everyone was saying, while also trying to analyze the meaning of those words, all the information piled up in their heads, slowly turning into a jumbled mess. Uncle Wei and his wife looked increasingly confused, their eyes becoming more and more vacant, and they passively replied, "Um... um, okay... um."
As time passed, the people cultivating inside the cave gradually awoke, and those who sensed the presence of the pavilion came out one after another.
When the children saw that Wenwen had returned, they all rushed over to fawn over her.
"Sister, you are finally back."
"Sister, we miss you so much~~~"
The last one to come out was Grandma Wen.
When Wenwen looked from a distance, she discovered something amazing: her grandmother had actually successfully guided her qi into her body!
Wow, unbelievable! She actually succeeded! Without taking any supplementary pills or eating the Mingling Fruit, she succeeded through her own efforts. If Grandmother, at her advanced age, could do it, then others are even more capable.
Wenwen ran over exaggeratedly, hugged her grandmother, and shouted, "Wow, Grandma, you're so amazing! Wenwen admires you so much! You're my goddess! Long live my goddess! Long live my goddess... umm..."
Grandmother Wen reacted quickly, covering the little girl's mouth to shut up the last three words, "My dear granddaughter, watch your words, watch your words!"
The old man only let go after seeing Wenwen nod.
Wenwen didn't think much of this harmless action, and her joy was contagious.
After meeting Uncle Wei and his wife, the group went down the mountain in a lively atmosphere and headed towards the bamboo courtyard.
Aunt Yang finally met Grandma Wen and confirmed that the old lady was in good health and had no illness or disaster, and only then did she feel relieved.
When Wei saw her elder brother and sister-in-law appear in the valley, she was moved to tears.
In short, it was a joyful occasion for the family to reunite, and the Wen family warmly welcomed Uncle Wei and his wife.
Before sunset, the group returned to the bamboo courtyard.
Of course, excluding those three idiots.
When family members get together, a big meal is definitely a must.
then.
Uncle Wei and his wife witnessed the various minor magical arts of the Wen family.
Cleanse to tidy a room, Wind Blade to chop wood, Water Control to draw water, Fireball to start a fire...
Everything was ready; the chickens, ducks, and geese were plucked, gutted, fried, stir-fried, and cooked—a flurry of activity ensued.
As night fell, the aroma of food wafted through the air above the bamboo courtyard.
It has to be said that Bamboo Garden has changed a lot since Wenwen and the others left this month.
There are definitely more bamboo houses now, and the furnishings inside them do bear some resemblance to the former General Wen's mansion.
It seems that aesthetics ingrained in one's bones are not easily changed.
Before setting off to find the red ore, Wenwen brought out everything she had taken from the mansion, including a lot of the Luo family's things. After her family members sorted through the items, the rest were put back into her spatial storage.
Therefore, it is understandable that the bamboo house bears traces of the past.
As the food was served and everyone gathered in the familiar main room, a sense of trepidation, a feeling of being close to home, arose.
Wen Yuanqian, the host, wiped away his tears and said only one sentence, "The Wen family has a bright future—cheers!"
"cheers--"
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate their gathering and to look forward to the future!
Drinking tea, chatting, and eating fruit after a meal are all essential.
It wasn't until late at night that everyone returned to their own rooms. This time, Wenwen and her sisters actually had their own private bamboo huts. Although the bamboo huts were small, they were cozy and inviting.
The sisters hid under the covers, chattering away and sharing their wildly imaginative ideas, making quite a scene, until the elders next door could no longer bear it and repeatedly warned and urged them to stop, at which point they finally quieted down.
Soon, the bamboo courtyard in the valley fell silent, occasionally punctuated by the chirping of insects and the calls of birds.
Everyone slept soundly without any dreams.
The next morning, as the first rays of light appeared on the horizon, there was movement in the bamboo courtyard.
Today's schedule was explained last night. The Master has arranged classes in the morning. Those who are supposed to attend classes should get up early to attend, while those who are not supposed to attend classes should read or practice. Afternoon is free time.
Because the Master was going to set up an array in the cave in the afternoon, everyone was able to steal a half-day of leisure.
Last night, Wen Qilin took out the palm-sized stone and briefly explained the process of finding it. Since the stone was too small to be split open, the Master could only decide to set up a spirit-gathering array inside the cave. The range it could cover depended on the power of the stone.
A little incident occurred in the morning. Uncle Wei saw that everyone was up early, and in the spirit of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," he and his wife also got up early. However, everyone in the Wen family had their own plans, and they stood in the courtyard doing nothing, which made them feel a bit out of place.
Two grown men standing there dumbfounded in the yard, isn't that a waste of time?
Wen Yuanqian can no longer bear to see the younger generation wasting their time.
He waved his hand and said, "Mingshan, you two are going to stay here for a month, so why don't you cultivate together? Consider it a way to improve your health. You two go to class with the children."
Without warning, the middle-aged couple stepped back into the classroom after more than twenty years away from school, except this was a school hidden in a valley.
When you're busy, time flies by, and a morning passes in the blink of an eye.
In the afternoon, the Master began his ascent up the mountain, followed by a group of curious people.
When this cave was dug, it was designed to accommodate at least all members of the Wen family. Now that there are two more people, it should be enough.
The master walked around the cave a few times, then placed eight pieces of paper with talismans written on them in eight directions. These positions were quite peculiar. The eight talismans were either close to the wall, two fingers away from the wall, or two palms away. The talismans were also strangely shaped, some long and some short, some round and some square.
Next, several items were placed near the talisman: three emerald green bamboo leaves, a copper coin, a small piece of white jade, a stick of incense, and a small cup of water, all in unusual locations. Finally, a palm-sized piece of hematite was buried in the middle of the cave, covered with soil, and compacted.
A simple spirit-gathering array has been successfully set up.
This is the result of his research on formations during this period. Although it is relatively basic and still very rough, it should still have some effect.
The Master dusted himself off and said to the onlookers outside the cave entrance, "It's done."
