He Dazhu spent another sleepless night.
With two beautiful women sleeping beside him, He Dazhu felt a strange fire burning inside him, making it difficult for him to sleep.
The village rooster had barely crowed when He Dazhu crept up on tiptoe.
Li Xianggui and Liu Sichun were still sleeping peacefully in bed.
Looking at the two beautiful women sleeping soundly, He Dazhu suddenly felt a strange admiration for those monks who truly achieved tranquility and detachment from worldly desires.
He Dazhu didn't dare to linger any longer, so he got dressed and went to the courtyard.
It was the height of summer, and Shihua Village was already glowing gray, with a white band of light appearing in the east.
The air was cool and refreshing, the daytime heat gone. Early-rising villagers urged their oxen toward the fields.
The cow's hooves made a clattering sound as they stepped on the bluestone pavement.
He Dazhu took a deep breath of the fresh air in Shihua Village and immediately felt refreshed.
He Dazhu sat under the persimmon tree at Guihua's house and began to concentrate his soul and energy to cultivate the Xuan Tian Jue.
At this moment, without the distraction of beautiful women, He Dazhu focused intently on cultivating the Xuan Tian Jue, and immediately felt a sense of emptiness in his body and a smooth flow of Qi.
As the dawn's light pierced through Xiling Mountain and enveloped He Dazhu's entire body, multicolored light suddenly burst forth around him.
He Dazhu suddenly realized that he didn't feel tired even though he hadn't slept all night. His spirits were much better and his physical fitness had improved a lot.
He Dazhu felt that he had broken through the first level of the Xuan Tian Jue.
Suddenly, Li Xianggui's voice came through.
"Silly Big Pillar, what are you doing sitting there like an idiot so early in the morning?"
Li Xianggui, wearing a low-cut shirt, leaned against the door frame, yawning.
He Dazhu quickly got up and said awkwardly, "It's nothing, Sister Guihua."
"I just couldn't sleep, so I came here to sit for a while. Now it's dawn, and I'm getting ready to go find the treasure you mentioned."
Li Xianggui said, "Sleeping with two beautiful women is enough to make you ecstatic, kid. Why are you saying you can't sleep?"
Before Li Xianggui could steer the conversation in that direction, He Dazhu immediately said, "Sister Guihua, let's quickly call my second aunt and set off together."
Li Xianggui reached out and covered her forehead, then looked to the east.
"I didn't realize the sun was already so strong. Well then, let's hurry up and set off."
Li Xianggui cooked three sweet potatoes. He Dazhu and the other two ate a quick breakfast and then set off.
All you could see along the way were mountains, rocks, and cactus flowers covering the hillsides.
Liu Sichun asked, "Sister Guihua, what exactly is this treasure you're talking about?"
Li Xianggui said mysteriously, "Follow me, and you'll find out when we get there."
"Sister Guihua, the treasure you're talking about wouldn't be these cacti covering the whole mountain, would it?"
"You silly girl, how could I possibly treasure this cactus? Do you think I'm as foolish as you?"
As the three talked, they crossed another mountain and followed the rugged mountain path down to a small valley.
Li Xianggui, hands on her hips and a proud expression, said, "We've arrived."
"Where is it? Aren't there rocks all around here?" He Dazhu asked with a puzzled look.
Liu Sichun, standing to the side, also looked at Li Xianggui with a puzzled expression.
"Look for yourselves, it's right above your heads."
He Dazhu and Liu Sichun looked up at the same time and suddenly noticed a large, dark mass in a crack in a rock on the cliff.
It kept making a buzzing sound.
He Dazhu exclaimed in surprise, "This really is a treasure, such a big lump of honey!"
"This will definitely produce a lot of honey."
Liu Sichun also looked happy; if she could get this honey, she could sell it for a lot of money.
"This is a treasure, isn't it? I'm not lying to you. Who do you think I am, Sister Guihua?"
"You're really something, Sister Guihua," He Dazhu said happily.
"Don't be too happy, you little fool. Didn't you see the beehive in the crevice of the cliff?"
"I haven't come to get it before because I'm a woman and I can't climb such a high cliff."
"If you can get up there, Sha Dazhu, then we can really make a small profit this time."
He Dazhu stood at the foot of the mountain and surveyed the cliff.
The cliff is almost vertical, consisting mostly of bare rock. The bees are about 100 meters from the bottom of the cliff.
If you really want to climb it, it's definitely a test of skill and physical strength; most people can only look on with envy.
Looking at the steep cliff, Liu Sichun couldn't help but say, "Dazhu, I think we should forget about it. This cliff is too steep. If you accidentally fall down, it won't be a joke."
Li Xianggui, who was standing nearby, also said, "The 'Silly Big Pillar Honey' is right there on the cliff, and it just happens to be this high up."
“The stuff is good, but what your second aunt said makes sense. If you fall and die, no one will come to massage me.”
"I think we should just forget about it."
He Dazhu said, "Sister Guihua, you've come all this way with this basket on your back, how can we let you go back empty-handed?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely get this honey. Climbing this cliff is a piece of cake for me."
For He Dazhu, who possesses the Xuan Tian Jue, it was indeed a piece of cake. In addition, He Dazhu had practiced the Xuan Tian Jue this morning, which had greatly enhanced his physical fitness, so climbing this cliff was no problem at all.
"Second Aunt, Sister Guihua, please stay away, or you might get stung by this bee."
Li Xianggui and Liu Sichun pushed behind a rock and looked at He Dazhu.
