Amidst the bickering among a few old men and women, we arrived safely at the top of Liupan Mountain.
It was almost the time when the sun was at its hottest in the morning.
People often come to climb this mountain, but most of them stay at the viewing platform on the mountain. An Jingzhi deliberately took them to avoid the crowd and come to another cliff. Basically no one comes here and they will not be disturbed by others.
There were no cushions, so An Jingzhi asked the ten people to sit on the ground. He didn't mind the dirt and sat down.
"Now everyone, listen to my instructions. Close your eyes and meditate. Empty your mind and calm your breath."
It was time for dinner, and the old men and women had been climbing the mountain for a whole morning and were already starving.
But An Jingzhi didn't order them to eat, and no one had any objections. After seeing the magic of Old Zhou and Old Lady Zhang, everyone couldn't wait to become the next lucky person.
Enduring the dirt and rocks that hurt his butt and legs, he sat down cross-legged, listening to An Jingzhi's instructions.
An Jingzhi recited the practice method that he had specially compiled for them.
Under the midday sun, this is the time when the yang energy between heaven and earth is the most abundant. Climbing the mountain all the way without eating is just the right time to consume their energy and blood and stimulate their potential.
In just ten minutes, several people could no longer sit still.
They hadn't eaten, their bodies were in a state of panic, they were also sick and it was uncomfortable for them to sit. They were able to sit for these ten minutes only because of their willpower.
After noticing the situation, An Jingzhi said seriously, "Concentrate your energy and mind, empty your body..."
Gradually, as An Jingzhi's words came, the commotion in the crowd returned to calm.
Seeing that several people were slowly entering a state of meditation again, An Jingzhi stood up and took out a few spirit gathering talismans he had written from his bag.
Stick several spirit-gathering talismans on several directions of the Bagua. With the blessing of the midday sunlight, the effect of gathering spiritual energy will be better.
Their physical energy was exhausted, but with the replenishment of spiritual energy, the physical condition of the old men and women became better and better.
An Jingzhi could observe that two more old men were on the verge of a breakthrough.
Several old men and women sat on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, and An Jingzhi guarded them from the peak of the noon sun to sunset.
At this time, the state of the Spirit Gathering Talisman has become very weak.
Unfortunately, the two old men who wanted to break through were always in a bottleneck state and ultimately failed to break through.
Several old people woke up one after another and saw that the sky was getting dark and the sun had set.
Everyone exclaimed, "The sun has already set. Have we been meditating for this long?"
"It was only eleven or twelve when we first arrived, right? It feels like we've only been sitting here for a while, but how come several hours have already passed?"
"Yeah, it seems like it only took a short while after I got into the state."
"This meditation session seems different from before. My body feels warm and comfortable."
Someone discovered that An Jingzhi was collecting the talisman papers in the corner.
"Master An, what are you doing?"
An Jingzhi briefly explained the function of the spirit gathering talisman.
"A spirit gathering talisman, that's probably not cheap, right?"
Shi Guozhong spoke directly, "So it's these Soul Gathering Talismans. No wonder I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer. The next time I opened my eyes, the sun was almost setting. How much do these Soul Gathering Talismans cost?"
"Master An, can I buy some from you?"
"It is not easy to draw the spirit gathering talisman. I am sharing it with all of you who are destined to come here. I am not talking about money. I just hope that you can embark on the true path of cultivation as soon as possible. I will not sell it for the time being." The most important thing is to eliminate the sins committed by the original owner first.
Hearing him say this, everyone was full of admiration for An Jingzhi's high moral character and prestige.
On the way back, everyone discussed,
"We are so lucky to have met Master An."
"Yeah, those little bastards in my family have no idea how powerful Master An is."
"It seems that Master An was really testing us before. I feel that today's practice is completely different from before, but the effect is even better than before."
"Who says it's not? Even Sister Zhang has become a lay Buddhist," an old man said enviously, "When will Master An call me a lay Buddhist too?"
"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry. Didn't Master An say that? As long as we listen to him, we can definitely be like Sister Zhang."
"What do you think," Shi Guozhong suggested, "should we replace the lost Soul Gathering Talisman for Master An? Even though Master An didn't ask us to, we can't just pretend we know nothing."
"In the final analysis, Master An takes out all his time every day to guide us in cultivation, even his own cultivation time is used up, and he has no means of making a living."
"It will probably cost quite a bit of money to buy the materials to make the Spirit Gathering Talisman."
Shi Guozhong was the richest among the group, and he paid the lion's share of the two million that the original owner had defrauded.
"How about this, I'll give you 100,000." In the past, he would only give you 10,000 or 20,000 at most, but this time he was willing to give you 100,000 because he really saw the effect.
When I climbed up the mountain, I felt tired and hungry, my head was throbbing, and my heart was pounding.
But after listening to An Jingzhi's words, he gradually fell into a magical state. He felt very comfortable, as if he was wrapped in something. When he opened his eyes again, the sun had set. He was in a very good state, not hungry or tired.
"My pension isn't much anymore, so I can't give out as much as Brother Shi did. But I can still come up with 10,000."
"Then I'll also give you 10,000."
"I'll give you 20,000."
An Jingzhi was walking in front and naturally heard the whispers of several old men and women.
He knew that even if he stopped these old men, the old lady would only agree in person, but would still transfer the money to him behind his back.
After thinking about it, he pretended not to hear the people talking about collecting money.
At worst, when everyone transfers the money to him, he can just donate it.
The next day, around six o'clock, the leisure group started to get lively.
Shi Guozhong [I went to sleep as soon as I got home last night and slept until six this morning. I felt completely refreshed!]
Lao Zhou [It’s strange, I only had breakfast yesterday and I wasn’t hungry all day!]
I was a little hungry when I got home, so I ate a small bowl of noodles and went to sleep. I woke up earlier than usual today, at 5:30.
[This time, it seems Master An truly recognizes our true skills!]
Shi Guozhong [We must keep the fundraising a secret from our families, to prevent them from bringing this to Master An's attention.]
[You don't even need to tell me that]
[I know. I went back yesterday and took the money out directly.]
[Sister Zhang, how do you feel? ]
Mrs. Zhang: "I didn't sleep yesterday and meditated all night. I felt refreshed this morning and I think my evening meditation also worked."
[Sister Zhang, don’t you need to sleep now?!]
[What are our plans for today? I forgot to ask Master An when I got home yesterday.]
An Jingzhi: [We will still gather at the same time and place today.]
[In addition, Fellow Daoist Zhang's cultivation method is only suitable for those who have already entered the door. For those of you who have not yet entered the door, blindly following is not recommended.]
