Chapter 1267: Spirit Cultivator

The woman: “…”

“You win, but I feel much better after crying with you. I’ll leave first, we can continue tomorrow.” With that, the woman stood up and left.

Fangzheng asked Salted Fish with a dumbfounded look, “What’s going on?”

Salted Fish said helplessly, “I don’t know what the situation is either. This female patron comes every day, and when she comes, she gets someone and begins crying. She doesn’t even tell when we ask… Third Senior Brother chatted with her for a day, but it was useless. Fourth Senior Brother pulled tricks for her, but it didn’t work. Then, they let me try. I don’t know anything either. Since she was crying while I watched, everyone looked at me like I was a cold-blooded and heartless animal, I decided I might as well cry along…”

Fangzheng: “…”

After entering the monastery, Salted Fish continued, “However, the effects seem pretty good. We’ll continue when she comes tomorrow. I’ll treat it as discharging salt like menstruation…”

Fangzheng: “…”

The days of the heavy snow sealing the mountain had passed, and One Finger Monastery’s incense offerings were beginning to be on a rise again. More money piled under the bodhi tree. Red Boy had originally planned on collecting the money, but Fangzheng stopped him. Fangzheng guessed that it would be a great harvest when they did it during the new year. They were to save it up before then!

Salted Fish returned to his offering table and sat down, enjoying the incense offerings and the slapping of cash…

Fangzheng returned to the backyard and called Red Boy over to ask if he knew of Chen Long’s situation. After all, Red Boy had been responsible for enveloping One Finger Village with his perception recently. If anything were to happen to One Finger Village, it would definitely not escape him.

“Master, you have asked the wrong person. Chen Long went missing in the south, not in One Finger Village. My divine sense can’t cover that far,” said Red Boy.

Fangzheng said, “Think about it carefully. Did Chen Long act any differently when he returned?”

Red Boy thought for a moment and said, “There were some. He kept furrowing his brows. It was the same when he came up the mountain. He even said that he didn’t believe the other party’s words and wanted to save someone. However, they were intermittent, so I couldn’t tell what was happening.”

“I’m preparing to head down the mountain to check on the situation. Pack up and follow me.”

Red Boy was delighted when he heard that. Having stayed on the mountain for so long, he was long sick of it! Finally, he could descend the mountain. He couldn’t ask for more!

However, Red Boy still asked in concern, “Master, it’s already afternoon, and you just came back. Isn’t it too much of a rush just leaving like that?”

Fangzheng said, “Saving a person’s life is important. There’s no harm in being quick.”

Red Boy beamed when he heard that. “Yes, yes, yes. Being quick is good. Haha! Master, there’s nothing for me to prepare. We can leave any time!”

Fangzheng said, “In that case, why don’t you take me flying?”

“Uh… Master, we can take a plane,” said Red Boy.

Fangzheng’s expression was solemn as he said in all seriousness, “Taking a plane costs money. Sitting on you doesn’t spend any.”

Red Boy: “…”

Eventually, Red Boy carried Fangzheng in flight. Red Boy flew at a speed that was comparable to a plane. Soon, they arrived at Guangdong City. When they landed, Fangzheng immediately took out the address Wang Yougui had given him. Following the GPS navigation, he quickly found Chen Long’s company.

“Jingxin, I’ll be relying on you.”

Jingxin nodded. “It’s nothing difficult. As long as I have a strand of Chen Jin’s hair, I’ll be able to find him.”

With that said, Red Boy descended. Without anyone noticing, he obtained a strand of hair from Chen Jin, who was staring blankly at Chen Long’s picture, before leaving quickly.

It was useless to say anything now. Only by finding Chen Long could the depressed Chen Jin recover.

After leaving, Red Boy produced a red flame in his hand and burned the strand of hair. Following that, the flames turned into a fiery chick that soared into the sky and flew east.

“There, let’s go!” Red Boy chased after it with Fangzheng.

The flaming chick flew out of the bustling district in seconds and entered a rather old neighborhood. On top of a building in a residential estate, there was a house built on it. The flaming chick burst into sparks before dissipating.

Red Boy said, “Master, Chen Long should be there.”

Fangzheng looked at the building and saw a line of words written on it. “Pleiades Spirit Training Class. Taking you to understand your past and present life so as to awaken your future…”

“Master, from the way I read it, it feels like: cheating you of your future? Patron Chen Long won’t be dumb enough to fall for such a trick, right? If he really wants to believe in such things, he might as well believe in us,” said Red Boy.

Fangzheng said, “We’ll know when we go up.”

With that said, Fangzheng led Red Boy. He activated A Golden Millet Dream and walked to the reception downstairs.

Just as they entered, they saw a man and woman standing in front of a counter. The woman sitting behind the counter handed each of them a lanyard card. She said, “Go on up. Master Hairwood is already upstairs. The class is about to begin.”

The two nodded and entered the elevator.

Fangzheng and Red Boy entered the elevator with them, and went all the way to the top floor as expected. When they walked out of the elevator, they saw a huge poster of the cosmos. There were two points marked on the poster. One was the Pleiades constellation and the other was Earth. At the same time, there was a countdown timer on the poster. Written on it were 837 days, 9 hours, 12 minutes.

Walking around the poster was a corridor, There were rooms on both sides of the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a door. Fangzheng and Red Boy followed the two students to the end. As the students pushed open the door, Fangzheng saw the scene behind them. It was a place similar to a hall for religious practice. Many students sat cross-legged on a mat.

Despite seeing someone arrive, no one reacted. Instead, they focused their attention on the front.

In front of them was a black prayer mat. Sitting on it was a long-bearded foreigner with a head full of white hair. He wore glasses and held a book in his hand. He didn’t say a word, as if he was reading a book or in a daze.

At this moment, a woman asked in a low voice, “Are the two of you new students?”

The man and woman nodded. The woman immediately led the two to the back and whispered, “Since it’s the first lesson, please listen to it first. If you have any questions, you can ask me after class.”

The two agreed happily before sitting down excitedly. The man said in a low voice, “We’ve finally met the legendary Master Hairwood. I heard that he has had intimate contact with aliens, and he has been in contact with them for more than ten years. I wonder if there really are aliens…”

The woman said, “I’ve heard about it as well. If only there are aliens. I really want aliens to help me live forever, or invite us to travel through space…”

The man said, “I believe they exist. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people who believe in Master Hairwood. I heard that Master Hairwood has even more students overseas, and they are from various industries. His influence is not inferior to that of a country’s president. I never expected him to come to China. Furthermore, we happened to be available to come.”
