The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me
Chapter 142: Sun God Ra
Chapter 142 Sun God. Ra
After everyone finished burning incense, they were all admiring the carving of the Buddha statue. Jiang Xuan suddenly asked, “Why is this temple called Banshan Temple? Is it because it is built halfway up the mountain?”
“I know.”
This was not the first time that Zheng Manli came to Banshan Temple. She was eager to show herself to her companions: “Banshan is just Banshan. There is no passionate shouting on the top of the mountain, ‘I am not afraid of the clouds blocking my view, because I am at the highest level’, nor is there any weeping at the foot of the mountain, ‘The road is as vast as the blue sky, but I am the only one who cannot get out’.”
“What a Zen feeling!” Jiang Xuan murmured.
“That can’t compare to the Zen meaning of the donor’s incense.”
A middle-aged nun came out and said with a smile.
“I wonder what kind of Zen the master has realized?” Ye Muxue asked curiously.
“Living halfway up the mountain, I feel at peace.” The middle-aged nun said with a smile.
There is no doubt that this person is Master Miaolian. He is not tall, about 1.6 meters. Although his facial features show that he should have a good appearance, but… probably because he just came back from Egypt, he is very dark and thin, and dehydrated.
“Master, I am craving your Egyptian tea.”
Zheng Guangyuan said with a smile, and then introduced to Ye Muxue: “This is Master Miaolian. Master, this is Miss Ye Muxue who came here because of your reputation.”
“Master Miaolian, hello!”
As soon as they met, Ye Muxue was certain that Master Miaolian was also a practitioner, and not like Tong Zhenghong before, who was exploring alone. Master Miaolian had a heritage, but unfortunately his spiritual energy was limited, so his cultivation was limited.
But now that the Nine Cauldrons have been returned to four and the earth’s veins have been reset, the spiritual energy will gradually recover. This person may have returned in a hurry for this reason.
“Donor Ye, it is fate that we meet. Please come into the quiet room and have some tea.”
Master Miaolian smiled, raised one palm in front of his chest and bowed slightly, then turned around and led everyone into the quiet room next door.
The little nun stood by the door, and Jiang Xuan and Zheng Manli handed her the gifts brought by Ye Muxue and Zheng Guangyuan.
“Qingyou, several donors would like to taste Egyptian tea.” Master Miaolian ordered.
“Yes.” The little nun agreed happily, put away the gift, and then packed up the tea set to prepare tea.
Master Miaolian invited everyone to take a seat and said, “Congratulations to Mr. Zheng! Congratulations to Mr. Zheng for recovering from his chronic illness!”
Although she had always remained calm and acted like an expert, Master Miaolian was very surprised.
Zheng Manli was suffering from the Nine Yin Absolute Meridians, which was diagnosed by Master Miaolian. The amulet that Zheng Manli used at the beginning was also made by her… Even if the amulet was fully effective, it could only slightly alleviate the pain when the Nine Yin Absolute Meridians attacked. But now… Zheng Manli’s face was rosy and shiny, and she didn’t look like a patient at all.
“It’s just temporary suppression.”
Ye Muxue took over the conversation: “Master Miaolian, I heard from Mr. Zheng that you have a deep understanding of ancient Egyptian culture. I have come across several ancient Egyptian characters and am very curious about their meanings. May I ask you for advice?”
Master Miaolian showed a serious look: “Mr. Zheng, you are too kind! Ancient Egypt is one of the four ancient civilizations, with a long history and profound culture. I have only glimpsed the surface. However, if I can help Mr. Ye, it can be regarded as putting my knowledge into practice.”
Ye Muxue took out a piece of white paper with some strange words printed on it.
Zheng Guangyuan and others also took a look from the side…but they didn’t understand anything.
Master Miaolian picked up the paper, gestured, nodded and shook his head. For a moment, Ye Muxue didn’t understand what was going on, and everyone had a feeling of awe.
After a long while, Master Miaolian put down the paper and pointed at the four characters on it and said, “These characters are ancient Egyptian characters. They mean Tao, Yong, Tian, and Xin when translated. But those characters… are not ancient Egyptian characters.”
“Isn’t it ancient Egyptian writing?” Ye Muxue was very surprised.
Master Miaolian pointed at the characters and said, “These… are divine runes. They are said to be runes passed down by the ancient gods of Egypt, and they contain incredible power.”
She paused, and then said, “Donor Ye is from the mainland, right? This is a rubbing, so it doesn’t matter. If it is the original, the fanatics in the Egyptian temple will pursue it to death if they find out.”
“Thank you! I will pay attention next time.” Ye Muxue’s expression also became serious.
She understood that Master Miaolian must know that she either had the original book in her hands or knew where to find it. The mainland has now ended its closed-off state and opened up to the world, making it more convenient to enter and exit than before. It would be really troublesome if she really provoked a group of fanatical believers.
Next was time for chatting and drinking tea. Although the nun was young, her tea-making skills were comparable to those of a skilled tea artist.
Egypt itself does not produce tea. Later, tea culture, namely black tea, was introduced from Britain. Later, tea culture was introduced from China and other places, and gradually formed its own style.
The tea that Master Miaolian brought back was black tea. It was said that it was from the earliest tea trees enshrined in the temple, and it only produced about 180 kilograms a year.
It is really a pleasure to watch the novice nun perform the whole process smoothly, filling each teacup with tea that looks like red agate.
After listening to Master Miaolian’s introduction to the customs and myths of Egypt, Ye Muxue and others felt that they had learned a lot.
“I hope I’ll have the opportunity to visit Egypt in the future.”
Ye Muxue looked at Master Miaolian sincerely and said, “It would be a great honor for me to be able to accompany you!”
She has extended an invitation.
Master Miaolian smiled and said, “I am confident that I am more than qualified to be a guide.”
Zheng Guangyuan smiled and said, “I am a layman, I will cover all the expenses.”
The three people suddenly laughed.
After the tea was finished and people dispersed, Ye Muxue and the others did not bother her too much. After they left, the little nun began to excitedly count the gifts, especially the candies and snacks sent by Zheng Manli, which made her extremely excited… She knew that her master did not like to eat these things, but she ate them anyway. After all, the little nun was also a little girl.
Master Miaolian was standing in front of the Buddha statue… The incense sticks lit by Ye Muxue and others had already burned out, but the fragrance was still there, lingering in the Buddhist hall. Master Miaolian could feel that the flow of true energy was more lively than ever before, and full of spirituality.
Her eyes looked towards a corner of the altar, where the incense stick that Ye Muxue had offered was placed… there were about forty or so incense sticks left.
“Master, look.”
The little nun shouted as if showing off. Master Miaolian turned around and saw that she was holding a bundle of incense… There were not many incense sticks, but each one was about two feet long, as thick as a thumb, and blood red.
She walked over and took a look… This incense was definitely of higher quality than the incense offered in the Buddhist temple, and had a better effect.
“Was this a gift from donor Ye?” asked Master Miaolian.
“Yes. And this tube of tea and honey.” The little nun picked up two more bamboo tubes.
Master Miaolian took it… This is red sandalwood bamboo. She knows its value, but how many years will it take for the red sandalwood bamboo to grow to the thickness of a bowl?
The outside of one bamboo tube was written with “Da Hong Pao”. Master Miao Lian smiled… As far as she knew, there were only a few top-grade Da Hong Pao tea trees, and even the upper layer over there was not enough to share. Ye Muxue, a commoner, could take out a tube, hehe… The outside of another bamboo tube was written with the words “Mi Lu”. Master Miao Lian couldn’t help but exclaimed in surprise. “Master, what’s wrong?” asked the little nun.
“nothing.”
Master Miaolian subconsciously opened the bamboo tube… a familiar sweet fragrance immediately wafted out, and the little nun subconsciously took a deep breath with an intoxicated look on her face: “It smells so good! Master, is there something delicious inside?”
“Yes, I drank it.”
Master Miaolian spoke in a calm tone, as if she was holding a bottle of soda in her hand, but her heart was filled with turbulent waves… When she was visiting the high priest of a temple in Egypt, the other party took out a bottle similar to that of floral water, which contained a drink called “honeydew”, and dripped a few drops into their water cups.
According to the high priest, this drink called “honeydew” is mainly made of a kind of honey produced by giant bees, supplemented by many medicinal herbs. Due to the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the giant bee has been extinct for hundreds of years.
The giant honey originally stored in the temple was almost gone after hundreds of years of use, and the nectar naturally became less and less. This Ye Shi took out a big tube of tea at once, which was much more generous than the high priest… Could that tube of tea leaves be an ordinary item?
……
Ye Muxue was on her way back at this time, her heart was filled with emotions because of the sudden discovery.
In the ancient Egyptian mythology introduced by Master Miaolian, a familiar name almost made her break down – Ra.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, Ra is the name of the sun god, and the totem of the jackal tribe is the sun. According to legend, when the sun god travels, his mount is a pure unicorn and a noble and dazzling golden chariot, and he lives in a golden palace… It seems that I have obtained an extraordinary inheritance!
“Ms. Ye, do you think we should go back to the hotel or go to Mid-Levels?”
Zheng Guangyuan didn’t know whether Ye Muxue was satisfied with this trip, so he asked tentatively.
“Let’s go to Mid-Levels. I’ll leave from your house tonight. By the way, send someone to the hotel to settle the room fee.” Ye Muxue said after thinking for a while.
There is no need to keep it secret from Zheng Guangyuan. Zheng Manli will definitely show it to him in the future. It is necessary to make this man have a little bit of awe.
After arriving at the Zheng family, Zheng Qinghui was at home. After saying hello, Ye Muxue went to Zheng Manli and Jiang Xuan’s room… The two girls seemed to hit it off at first sight, and even arranged to live together.
“Master, are you going to teach us some magical skill?”
Jiang Xuan asked expectantly.
“Thinking too much.”
Ye Muxue looked around the room…there was a dressing mirror, it was her.
She lifted her leg and stepped into the mirror…the two people in the room were suddenly at a loss.
“Master…where are they?”
“Maybe…into the mirror.”
“Look, look… isn’t that Master?”
“It seems like he’s fighting with someone… Manli, has your mirror become a demon?”
I don’t know whether the two girls were carefree or had confidence in Ye Muxue, but they actually started discussing it.
Ye Muxue was indeed fighting, but for her, this fight was too ordinary. Those mirror spirits were easily destroyed. There was no challenge at all. Then they didn’t come out. She found in the mirror: “Stop arguing.”
Jiang Xuan and Zheng Manli in the room were startled and stared blankly at the dressing mirror… Ye Muxue’s face in the mirror occupied the entire mirror surface.
“I’m leaving now, and I’ll be back to pick you up in two days at most.”
After Ye Muxue finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the mirror… In the mirror world, Ye Muxue connected this mirror world with other mirror worlds. Only she could travel through these mirror worlds. Even the guests she brought in could only act in the current mirror world. If they wanted to go to other mirror worlds, they had to be led by her personally or allowed to do so.
Following the principle of conquering several mirror worlds wherever she goes, she also left behind many mirror worlds in Hong Kong.
A moment later, Ye Muxue entered her home in the capital.
“Don’t bully others too much!”
As soon as Ye Muxue stepped out of the mirror world, she heard someone shouting… Hmm? Is it Ye Muhan? Who provoked him?
Ye Muxue came to the yard but did not go into the store.
Ye Muhan was still angry: “We have agreed to consider what you said. Now my sister hasn’t come back yet, why are you in such a hurry? You are now checking taxes and hygiene. How can I cooperate with you without a formula? In the final analysis, I am a compatriot or Tanaka Ichiro is a compatriot, what is the difference between you and the one who ‘draws the knife into one piece’? You are drawing the knife to your compatriots’ necks, right?”
“No, don’t talk nonsense, that’s not true!”
I don’t know who answered it, but it was quite coherent.
“I am back.”
Ye Muxue had already understood the general idea. In fact, whether it was the recipe of nuts or the recipe of spices, she felt that others would covet her if she took them out.
In her opinion, it was nothing more than civilian commercial means, despicable means, or official means… She could handle the first two by herself; the latter could be easily handled with her cooperation with G An.
But what did she hear?
From the beginning to the end, the relevant parties have not taken any action, and the meaning of this is worth considering.
“Xiaoxue, what’s wrong with you?” Ye Muhan was a little confused. He didn’t know how Ye Muxue came out.
“Mu Xue…” Ding Pei was there too, but she felt a little guilty.
There was another group of people in the store… four or five people wearing cadre uniforms.
One of the men, who was wearing glasses and was in his thirties, was stunned for a moment when he saw Ye Muxue, but he immediately concealed it well, coughed dryly, and asked, “Who are you?”
“I am the owner of this store. You can tell me if you have anything.” Ye Muxue said lightly.
“Wouldn’t it have been easier if you had come forward earlier?”
The man said seriously: “I am Qin Bijin from the Health Office. There are some unsanitary conditions in your store that need to be rectified…”
Ye Muxue didn’t wait for him to finish: “You are right. I declare that a small shop will be closed from today.”
“Yes, your attitude is still very good…what did you say?”
Qin Bijin’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I won’t open this shop anymore!” Ye Muxue repeated.
“Little Snow!”
“Mu Xue!”
Ye Muhan and Ding Pei both widened their eyes in surprise.
“Hey! Not really. You… just stop the business for a while and clean up.” Qin Bijin stuttered. He was following orders to put pressure on the store, not to shut it down directly.
