After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 50: Unknown Aura
Seeing his mother discussing spiritual energy with his childhood friend in a serious manner, Chen Shuanghe was at a loss:
"No, Mom! You really believe it!"

It has come to this point, and Chen Ma no longer hides it from her:
"You don't know the skills inherited from Miaozhu's family! When your father's grave was flooded, I was afraid that you young people would be too curious and it would be harmful to get involved in such things, so I didn't let her tell you!

We were dreaming that your dad was coming to find us!"

"!!!" Chen Shuanghe was shocked: "Mom! Is Miaozhu your childhood friend or mine? How come you know more than me?"

Memories of visiting the grave came flooding back to him, and Chen Shuanghe looked at Song Miaozhu: "Did you see my dad?"

Song Miaozhu nodded. "When I first came back and came to the store, he was following you! He was dripping wet and told me that the stone cover was broken and water had entered the tomb, making it impossible to live there."

Chen Shuanghe was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. She looked at her mother again: "Mom, you know too?"

"Yeah. Contact with ghosts will shorten your lifespan! There's no good in knowing this!" Aunt Chen was still worried: "Miaozhu! If this goes on, will we be in danger?"

"Spiritual energy can prevent ghosts from approaching. Once you have truly mastered the practice, you won't have to be afraid of ghosts anymore.

Before this, if you encounter ghosts bothering you, just tell me, I have a way to drive them away!
There's no way to avoid this. With the resurgence of spiritual energy, ghosts' mobility in the world of the living has increased. It's safer to see than not to see."

Song Miaozhu knew that Chen Ma had always been avoiding these things, so she comforted her:
"Reiki has its benefits too! Did you know about the story online about the Suzhou embroidery master who healed her cancer? It was also related to Reiki."

"I know this! This spiritual energy can also cure diseases?" Aunt Chen felt much more relieved.

Maybe this isn’t such a bad thing!
"Wait, Miaozhu, you can always see ghosts? Then what about the calico cat ghost you mentioned before..." Chen Shuanghe finally reacted and began to think about what Song Miaozhu said.

"It's true." Song Miaozhu said.

"Then when can I see him? I want to go see my dad!" said Chen Shuanghe.

Her father died when she was very young, and now she hardly remembers what he looked like.

"That's hard to say. My third eye opened before the spiritual energy revived."

Song Miaozhu said, "But I know if you want to open your third eye quickly, then don't worry about making stir-fried pork with chili peppers all the time. Currently, the only dish you can use to attract spiritual energy is stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and it's not absorbed into your body, but into the dish itself."

"What? Just stir-fried pork with chili peppers?" Chen Shuanghe was incredulous. "Didn't you say that the more skilled the cook, the easier it is to attract spiritual energy? My other dishes are not good at this?"

"It's not that it's not good, it's just a little bit worse than stir-fried pork with chili peppers," said Song Miaozhu.

Chen Shuanghe: “…”

This blow was even greater than the one her childhood friend and her mother had been hiding a secret from her.

"What about me?" Chen Ma asked curiously.

"The dish you just cooked has all of these, but they are only integrated into the dish. They are still a little far from being integrated into the body," said Song Miaozhu.

"I originally thought that this would be the level of my specialty in my lifetime, but I didn't expect I'm still far from it!"

Mother Chen was filled with emotion: "Shuanghe, let's take turns cooking tomorrow!"

Chen Shuanghe: “…”

It's over, her mother doesn't want to retire again and wants to compete with her for the kitchen! Song Miaozhu noticed the subtle atmosphere and said goodbye immediately.

Before I even walked out of the store, I heard Chen Shuanghe arguing with Chen Ma about who would be the head chef tomorrow.

She rode her electric scooter back to Huaihua Lane.

I folded golden lotus flowers in the store first, and after eleven o'clock, I went to the Guipu warehouse to continue practicing making paper-cuttings.

Recently, Song Miaozhu has been discovering more and more examples of attracting spiritual energy, and has become more diligent and attentive in making paper-cuts.

Although industry is developed nowadays and handicrafts have declined, there are still many talented masters!

Her craftsmanship is not as good as those of the skilled masters, and she does not attract as much spiritual energy as them.

Even though the old masters need more spiritual energy to nourish their bodies, they still cannot see any spiritual energy at present. Song Miaozhu is also worried that although she has the advantage in information and inheritance, she will gradually lose her first-mover advantage due to her lack of technology and craftsmanship under the wave of spiritual energy revival and gradually become lost in the crowd.

You must know that the time from the spiritual energy recovery stage when spiritual energy appears to the spiritual energy tide stage when spiritual energy gushes out is limited.

Although we don’t know exactly how long it will last, spiritual energy will eventually decline and we will enter the Dharma Ending Age.

If one fails to achieve success in cultivation before the end of the spiritual energy tide stage, then when the Dharma Ending Age arrives, there will be no spiritual energy available, and once one's own spiritual power is exhausted, there will be no way to recover, and one will have no choice but to wait for death.

Song Miaozhu learned about the revival of spiritual energy in advance, and now he is ahead of others in cultivation. How can he be willing to end up like this?
The only thing I can do now is to work hard to learn paper-making and improve my skills.

Fortunately, the two employees of Guipu have been converted to regular employees, and they can handle all the affairs of the store. Song Miaozhu only needs to prepare the information of purchasing goods every day, and then deliver the purchased goods online to the warehouse.

After finishing all these, there will still be plenty of time left to make paper-cut items.

The next day, after more spiritual energy merged into her eyes, Song Miaozhu's vision changed again.

She didn't notice it at first, but when she was browsing her phone during dinner and saw Grandpa Wu Zhuxiang appearing in the live broadcast of "Intangible Cultural Heritage Bamboo Paper Family", Song Miaozhu suddenly discovered a gray aura on him that didn't look very good.

The gray aura is particularly strong in the chest area, almost turning black.

Song Miaozhu stood up and looked in the mirror, and found that his entire body, except for a coin-sized area between his eyebrows, was all like spiritual energy, emitting a faint colorful light.

These lights, like the aura, seemed to be on another layer, existing within her field of vision, but not blocking her sight.

She realized that this halo was most likely the trace of spiritual energy merging into the body, so she went to look for Master He's embroidery video.

I had watched the video before and didn't notice any clues, but now there is something more.

In the video after Master He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she also had the same light gray ominous aura as Grandpa Wu Zhuxiang, and the aura was strongest in the upper left abdomen.

However, as she embroidered, spiritual energy merged into her body, and the gray-black aura slowly faded away.

In the latest video, the gray-black aura in the upper left abdomen has turned into a light gray, just like other parts of the body.

After discovering this, Song Miaozhu immediately made a video call to Zhao Mumu:
"Sister Mu Mu, turn the camera towards Grandpa Zhao. Let me take a look."
