Chapter 99 Heaven Favors the Simple-Minded
The front yard was quiet at this time, and none of the children were there; they must have gone inside to sleep.
The lamps under the eaves cast a soft candlelight, illuminating the people still working hard in the front hall.
Groups of three or five people were watching the moving figures, seemingly discussing their pace in hushed tones.
Not far away, my grandfather was meditating with a few other people.
Wenwen stretched and stood up, moving her arms and legs around.
Her eyes shone like two flames; she was overjoyed and eager to share her joy with someone.
Unfortunately, the people here are either asleep or meditating, so it's not appropriate to make a big fuss.
She could only stroll along patiently and slowly.
I guess it's because we've spent so much time together that we've developed a tacit understanding.
Upon hearing footsteps, Wen Yuanqian slowly finished his work and opened his eyes.
She asked softly, "Wen'er, how did it go? Did you find anything?"
At the same time, the other meditators also finished their meditation, opened their eyes, and looked at her expectantly.
Upon hearing her grandfather's voice, Wenwen's lips curled up into a wide smile, almost unable to contain it.
She's just waiting for someone to ask her!
Wenwen took a few steps closer to Wen Yuanqian and plopped down on her seat.
Her big eyes sparkled, blinking rapidly, her eyelashes sweeping up and down like a brush.
His expression was intriguing.
At this moment, she was in high spirits, having made new discoveries and gained new insights, and she had an overwhelming urge to share them.
But once she was about to start speaking, she hesitated, unsure of where to begin.
The Master understood her fairly well.
Seeing her hesitant, intriguing expression, he slowly revealed, "Go ahead and tell me what you've learned. Let's share the joy together. Sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to yourself."
Wenwen thought it made sense: one person remembers the short, two people remember the long, and three people walking together must have something to teach me.
She has a group of relatives and friends, and among such a group, there are bound to be a few intelligent ones. Moreover, the teacher is a representative figure who is good at intellectual work.
Wenwen pondered for a few seconds, then adopted a posture of sharing her thoughts.
Several people instantly surrounded him, including elders and peers.
"Well, I started by listening to the teacher's guidance. After my mind calmed down, I could hear the voices around me very clearly. I heard the teacher say get out of class was over, and I also heard my grandfather and father's instructions, as well as my grandmother's voice."
Wenwen swallowed hard, then continued, "Then I wanted to hear further, so I tried, tried, to listen to sounds from even farther away."
She saw her second brother trying to interject, but her eldest brother covered his mouth.
Ignoring her brothers' little actions, Wenwen continued with a smile, "But we didn't hear any sounds from further away. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a scent that was a mixture of flowers and wood."
Wenwen glanced at everyone's curious and expectant eyes, paused for two seconds, and continued, "Then, then something magical happened."
"How amazing is it?" Wen Chengbin finally asked, prying open Wen Chengjian's large hand.
When telling a story, you can only continue if someone asks follow-up questions.
"The fragrance separated into colored particles that floated in the air. Then, I tried to get closer to these particles. It took a lot of effort, but eventually, these particles rushed into my body. I guided them to circulate throughout my body for about ten cycles, and finally they flowed to my dantian. Slowly, a warm feeling spread from my dantian throughout my body, and I felt a sense of ease and comfort I had never experienced before."
After Wenwen finished speaking, she had an adorable expression that seemed to show both confusion and secret delight.
Her words surprised and filled those present with skepticism.
Heaven always favors the simple-minded.
In her family's eyes, Wenwen is a first-class protected animal, and at this moment she looks adorable.
Wen Yuanqian stroked his beard, deep in thought, until Wenwen finished speaking, at which point he finally spoke up to confirm.
"So, Wen'er, you've successfully guided Qi into your body?"
Wen Yuanqian's decisive statement left everyone stunned and shocked.
Wen Chengjian snapped out of his daze, looked at Wenwen, and carefully considered his words.
He wasn't completely disbelieving, but he raised reasonable doubts: "But the book says that after successfully guiding qi, a layer of impurities will appear on the body, which means that the cleansing of tendons and marrow is successful. Is this what happened to you, sister?"
After Wen Chengjian finished speaking, he glanced at Wen Wen from head to toe, "So, this counts as a success..."
His doubts were met with both agreement and opposition.
Before Wen Chengjian could finish saying the last "ma".
Master Zhou made a startling remark, trying his best to defend his prized student, "Perhaps Wen'er is an exception. You must know, there are always people more capable than you."
"That's right, our Wen'er is no ordinary person."
"Yes, Wen'er is blessed by God."
The Master's unique insights were recognized by the others.
Master Zhou clearly didn't care about these comments; he seemed eager to try, "Why don't we all give it another shot? What if it works out, right?"
You should always have ideals; what if they come true?
"Sister, meditate beside me."
Wen Chengjian refused to believe it and forcibly pulled Wenwen over.
Wen Chengbin cheated and occupied the empty seat on the other side of Wenwen's seat.
The group sat cross-legged, and at first the teacher spoke in a low voice to guide them.
Gradually, the Master's voice grew softer and softer until it was completely silent.
Wenwen had just entered a meditative state, so asking her to continue now was a bit difficult, as she couldn't calm her mind.
With no other option, she took out the incomplete book, skipped the mnemonic section, and started looking at the densely packed small characters at the end.
The back of the book contains basic knowledge of cultivation and fundamental methods for using spiritual energy.
Wenwen has made great progress in learning to write recently, and she can now recognize most commonly used characters.
Time passed slowly, and Wenwen read very quickly, finishing reading and memorizing all the small print in a short time.
She closed the book, looked up, and turned her neck.
Oh my, that gave me a fright!
Just now it was only my grandfather, father and a few others.
In such a short time, it seems, probably, that everyone from the front yard has come over.
Looking around, there were about twenty people in several rows, with only an arm's length between them.
At this moment, everyone except her was meditating and entering a state of deep concentration.
Wenwen squinted, feeling utterly bored. She adjusted her posture to the most comfortable position, then casually sat down and let her mind wander.
Instantly, she felt the air around her filled with multicolored particles, even more so than before.
Just now there were only two colors, but now these particles have gathered all the colors of a color palette, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Aside from the familiar green and red, particles of other colors also swirled and jumped around her.
Wenwen was already familiar with this. She adjusted her breathing and accelerated the circulation within her body. The green and red particles flowed into her body in a friendly manner.
Suddenly, among the swirling particles, a golden particle, like a small stream, rushed into her body.
After a while, Wenwen opened her eyes with a bewildered expression.
