At night, in his room, Dai Xuan entered the Profound Jade Space.
On a large open space at the foot of the main peak, there were crates piled up on the left side. Inside were ceramic wine bottles and jars. On the right side were hundreds of large wooden boxes filled with antiques from the antique dealer Mr. Chen's warehouse. At the entrance of the cave abode at the foot of the mountain, there were ten two-meter-high mahogany antique shelves and two mahogany bookshelves. On the ground were several large boxes of books and jade raw materials. Further away were dozens of boxes of gold and silver ingots and Qing Dynasty weapons found in the underground secret room of the courtyard house.
Dai Xuan walked toward the red-painted, copper-lined, red wooden door of the cave abode. The door slowly opened to both sides. He walked along the path paved with bluestone slabs to the study in the cave abode. A fluorescent stone hung in the middle of the study, emitting white light. It illuminated the nearly 500 square meters study. Dai Xuan looked around the curved walls of the study. There were many ink paintings hanging on the walls. He turned around and returned to the entrance of the cave abode. He moved ten antique shelves in and placed them between the two ink paintings. He placed them against the curved walls. After placing the shelf, he moved two bookshelves in and placed them side by side on the right side of the desk.
Dai Xuan sorted out the books he had bought in the bookstore and placed them on the shelves. There were historical books, classical literature, poems and songs from various dynasties, as well as the Four Great Classics and other romance novels. They filled the two bookshelves.
Dai Xuan was sitting in front of his desk, holding a large cannon cigar in his right hand. He would take a puff from time to time, puffing out thick smoke. In his left hand, he was reading Journey to the West with great interest.
He found that he knew many of the characters written in the book, such as Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, Third Prince Nezha, Taishang Laojun, etc. There was only one Erlang God Yang Jian who he did not get along with. He felt that the other party was too arrogant, and the two of them could not get along. They rarely interacted on the God Planet.
Dai Xuan felt that some parts of the book were a little exaggerated. For example, the 72 transformations allowed one to create birds, beasts, rocks, and trees at will. As far as he knew, only the illusion and hallucination could do it. There was also the Monkey's Somersault Cloud. A Somersault Cloud could travel 108,000 miles. Hmph, I could only fly 10,000 kilometers after flying for a day. However, it was still possible to turn mountains and seas upside down, go invisible, and pass through walls.
After reading for more than an hour, he confirmed one thing. The Great Sage Sun written in the book was not the Spiritual Monkey King he knew.
Dai Xuan stood up, stretched his body, and walked out of the cave abode. He looked at the large wooden boxes that contained antiques and picked a dozen of them to open. He placed some small antiques on the antique shelves in the study. There were ten rosewood antique shelves. There were bronze incense burner, colored foundation jars, blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, various jade ornaments, and so on.
He then placed two nearly two-meter-tall terracotta warriors on both sides of the study door. The terracotta warriors were wearing breastplates and had their hands hanging by their sides. Their faces were firm and their eyes were looking straight ahead, as if their eyes carried the vicissitudes of history and their mission to the country.
After he was done with this, he went to the stone room where the spirit stones were stored. In the corner of the stone room, there were ten human-shaped bronze puppets. These were the Foundation Establishment bronze puppets he had bought from the Divine Planet's Weapon Refining Sect.
He opened the chest of the bronze puppet and placed ten high-grade spirit stones inside. Then, he applied a stream of spiritual qi to activate the puppet. In an instant, the bronze puppet's eyes lit up and its limbs moved. The energy of this high-grade spirit stone could last the puppet for a year.
Dai Xuan led the bronze puppets out of the cave abode. First, he commanded the ten bronze puppets to move the remaining large wooden boxes containing antiques to the warehouse in the nearby mountain belly. The puppets were busy moving the wooden boxes containing antiques while Dai Xuan cleaned up the other items left at the entrance of the cave abode and moved them into the study room.
After the bronze puppets finished moving the large wooden boxes containing the antiques, he instructed the bronze puppets to move out the 200 large wooden wine barrels stored in the cave abode and place them on the empty space outside the cave abode. Each of these large wooden barrels was filled with 1000 catties of spirit peach wine. He cleaned up the ceramic wine bottles and wine jars, then instructed the bronze puppet to fill the spirit peach wine into the ceramic wine bottles and wine jars. Then, he covered the lids and put them back into the crates.
The puppets were busy working. Dai Xuan felt bored after watching for a while, so he returned to the study in the cave abode.
Dai Xuan sat in front of his desk and started reading Journey to the West again. He was holding a peach of immortality in his right hand and eating it as he read. When he saw Tang Sanzang, who was incapable of doing anything but was good at ruining things, he slammed the table angrily and shouted. He read all night until six o'clock the next morning. He left the Black Jade Space and returned to his room. When he left, the ten bronze puppets were still working.
Dai Xuan went out of his room to take a walk. It was past six in the morning, and the air in the mountains was very good. The sky was already bright. He went down the stairs and came to the road that surrounded the square. He saw a few aunties sweeping the fallen leaves and some garbage. Dai Xuan walked along the road towards the supply and marketing cooperative store and arrived at a breakfast shop to have breakfast.
"Boss, give me a big bowl of beef brisket noodles.”Dai Xuan said to the boss after he sat down.
After a while, a big bowl of beef brisket noodles was served. Dai Xuan finished the beef brisket noodles and said,""Your beef brisket noodles are not bad. How much is a bowl?”
"1.20 yuan." The boss said.
Dai Xuan took out a one-yuan note and two ten-yuan notes for the boss.
After breakfast, he went to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. There were many vegetable stalls on both sides of the road. This was the market of Mine 203.
The market was about 200 meters long. There were stalls selling vegetables along the road and two chopping boards selling pork. The vegetables were all picked from the nearby villages. In addition to selling vegetables and pork, there were also fish and chickens. Dai Xuan found that someone was selling wild eels today. He bought them all. They were about three catties and cost him eight yuan. After shopping for a while, he went home when there was nothing to buy.
He had nothing to do during the day and entered the Profound Jade Space at night. The bronze puppet was still filling the bottles with spirit peach wine. It would probably finish filling them in another day. Dai Xuan went up the mountain to take a look at the spirit peach tree that was full of peaches. The spirit peaches had long ripened. He was prepared to wait for the bronze puppets to finish filling the wine bottles and jars, then arrange for the puppets to pick the peaches and brew the spirit peach wine.
He went to the peach tree and plucked a few peaches before returning to the study room. He continued to read Journey to the West while eating the peaches. After looking at it for more than an hour, he took out two pieces of Sheep-Fat White Jade and made dozens of self-defense jade plates. The jade plates were engraved with complicated defense arrays. He filled the jade plates with spiritual power and gave them to his close people to protect themselves. When they encountered danger, they could automatically activate to protect the person wearing them.
He was busy until two o'clock in the middle of the night. He left the Profound Jade Space and went to bed.
After lunch the next day, Dai Xuan took out four jade plates and gave one to each of Wang Aiguo's family members. The jade token was as warm as suet fat, three centimeters by two centimeters in size, and there was a red rope tied to it. The four of them accepted it and put it on, especially their youngest daughter, Wang Xiuxiu. She was so happy that she couldn't put it down.
In the afternoon, Dai Xuan went into the mountains to hunt. It had been almost two months since he last went into the mountains to hunt. This time, he walked a little further, about 40 miles away from the mining department. There was a tall primitive forest here, filled with some Camphor trees and many animals. Dai Xuan went home after hunting two yellow pheasants and five pheasants. When he got home, it was around four o'clock. He was too lazy to do these things, so he handed them all to Wang Aiguo, who was having a good time. Old Wan Guest House was quite busy now, so he didn't want to go there.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, he entered the Mystic Jade Space again in his room. The wine was almost finished, but the bronze puppets were still busy.
He went to the field to see the 2,000 pregnant cows. It looked like they would give birth in about two months.
After seeing the bulls, he returned to the study room to continue reading Journey to the West. Now that he saw Sun Wukong beating the White Bone Demon three times, Dai Xuan was furious and scolded Tang Sanzang for being an idiot. He also knew the original form of Zhu Bajie. Zhu Wuneng had written an autobiographical book, How to Save Yourself After Being Banished to the Mortal World. He felt that the Zhu Wuneng he knew was not as bad as Zhu Bajie. Zhu Wuneng was a Celestial Venerable in the Human Celestial Realm. However, he had made a mistake and his cultivation was sealed by the Celestial Alliance. He had been banished to the mortal world for a period of hardship. Ordinary demons could not last more than a few rounds in his hands.
After more than an hour, the bronze puppets finished filling the spirit peach wine. Crates filled with ceramic wine bottles and jars were neatly placed on an empty space beside the main peak. Dai Xuan waved his hand and arranged for them to go up the mountain to pick the spirit peaches. After picking them, they would put them into the large wooden barrels that had been emptied of spirit peach wine. These wooden barrels were not enough to hold the peaches of five hundred spirit peach trees. They would have to carry three to four hundred more. Dai Xuan used the spirit monkey king's method to brew the spirit peach wine, so he named the wine Monkey Brew.
Dai Xuan had been busy in the space for six to seven consecutive nights. Finally, he had almost finished picking the peaches from the spirit peach trees planted on the Space Mountain. He put the spirit peaches into a large wooden barrel to seal them and ferment them. The bronze puppets moved the sealed large wooden barrel to a cave specially used to store wine.
Dai Xuan cast a spell to rain a few more times in the space, and the matter in the Profound Jade Space temporarily came to an end.
