Oral Care (2)

d daylight, that narrow alleyway was eerie and deserted."That's our unique way here, something you outsiders wouldn't understand." The sister-in-law smiled and prepared to leave."Can we go take a loo...On the way to Putuo Temple, I was sitting in the passenger seat. Without a big belly, it felt so good!

My brother hasn't adjusted yet, he still occasionally glances at my belly with a cautious look.

"Xiao Qiao, you're… a bit different, aren't you I feel like you… are lighter and more agile than before Jiang Qiyun appeared last year. Could it be that you've ascended to heaven during the day" My brother asked.

"How is that possible!"

The Huainanzi, in its chapter on Immortality, classifies immortals into three categories: celestial immortals (tianxian), earthly immortals (dixian), and corpse-transforming immortals (shijiesxian). Internal alchemy further divides these into celestial immortals, earthly immortals, human immortals, divine immortals, and ghost immortals.

Those who ascend to heaven during the day are high-level immortals, most of whom have profound Taoist skills and immeasurable merit.

I still feel like myself. As for what Old Lady Wu said about me being pampered by Jiang Qiyun, I think she's referring to the intimate aspect of things.

The old woman was very open about these things, and her words made me blush.

She said that women who are in harmony with their partners both physically and mentally are content, radiant, and possess a gentle aura. They project an air of balance and harmony between yin and yang.

I think there's some truth to that, after all, when a couple is in love, they naturally look radiant.

But when the old woman heard we weren't using condoms, she laughed in a very strange way and said it was "raising" me, so I wouldn't be ungrateful.

Is this still "raising"

The old woman smirked and said, "Celestial beings always have a reason for their actions. You needn't probe too deeply; dwelling on it is pointless. It's just the love between a husband and wife – what matters is that they accept it."

That's not a big deal... But two little babies are already keeping us busy. How could we possibly handle more

Jiang Qiyun saw that I went through a lot of hardship giving birth, so he loosened up and said that in the future, whether or not to have children would be up to my own wishes.

I'm also struggling, it definitely won't work for now. Yu Gui and You Nan are still so young.

What should he do He thinks condoms are such a hassle and can't accept them. For someone so dominant, wanting to have sex but having to put on a raincoat first The image is really hard to imagine.

On the way to Putuo Temple, I tactfully brought up this issue with my brother. My brother frowned and said: "Actually, condoms, frankly speaking, no man likes to use them, it's annoying... But you have to use them. Either ejaculate outside the body, or take medicine, I don't recommend that."

“There seems to be some female contraceptive foam, supposedly spermicidal. I don’t think it’s very reliable; or else, just like those couples, if they don't want children and don't want to bother with contraception, they can have a small operation. The woman can get an IUD or the man can get a vasectomy – this is definitely something you would go for, how could he possibly”

"But some women's bodies might be more resistant to the implant, so... it's a toss-up really."

My older brother explained these things to me seriously, but I don't really understand any of it.

He frowned and said, "Why are you still using contraception Your status is special now. If you cultivate successfully in the future and break free from the constraints of yin and yang, you won't even be able to have children then."

Well！！

I never thought of that!

"All you can think about is what's right in front of you. You should just listen to your husband on this one, he puts more thought into things than you realize! Just let it go with the flow, you have it easier than other women!" My brother scolded me.

Jiang Qiyun did indeed put a lot of thought into me, many things I was even unaware of.

The surrounding villages of Putuo Temple have been influenced by Buddhism for centuries, and almost everyone here believes in Buddhism. Their businesses are also related to Putuo Temple.

Nowadays, temples are rarely peaceful. They are constantly bustling with people who come to make wishes, fulfill vows, pay respects to Buddha through incense offerings, or simply for tourism. Almost every religious site has become a small tourist attraction.

From afar, someone in a brownish-yellow robe and flip flops stood by the road selling things like six-character mantra beads, blessed amulets for protection, and Wen Shu Pu Xian jade pendants...

“Now a lot of people say they believe in Buddha, but most are fake. Buddhist rules and regulations are many, once integrated with the secular world, it is to have fallen into the lower realm. But there's no way, without incense money how can we survive... Still, we are better off, no psychological pressure, just peacefully guarding our shop.” My brother slowly drove the car, complaining to me.

He didn't dare to speed. In this kind of place, farmers are shrewd businessmen. Let alone hitting a person, even if you hit a chicken, you have to pay.

"Hmph, even Buddhism can't compare to the power of money. These people are guarding this hundred-year-old temple, planning to live off it for generations."

As we were talking, a group of monks walked by. I was stunned — it's rare to see monks walking these days.

There are famous itinerant monks from Dàbēi Temple. I've seen reports about them on TV, and it feels like they are the true "monks." Most of the people sitting in temples managing things are probably more like "Buddhist priests," and many of them are even part-time.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of people. There are quite a few fake Taoists in Taoism, but Taoism emphasizes yin and yang, so you don't need to be single.

The wandering monk, alone on his journey, was dusty and weary. He carried a simple alms bowl and walked with a cane at a leisurely pace. Were they also going to Putuo Temple

This road is narrow, and there was a fender bender ahead. The two drivers stopped to argue, blocking us all behind them. My brother, getting impatient, jumped out of the car intending to "dispense justice."

I got out of the car with him and saw two cars jammed in the middle of the road, their rearview mirrors shattered on the ground.

"A Volvo and a Cadillac, these two rich guys must be fighting," my brother chuckled.

Next to him, a spectator who happened to be a car owner immediately chimed in: “Yeah, the rich guys have big tempers.”

Both car owners looked to be in their thirties or forties, accompanied by family members. The woman driving the Cadillac seemed arrogant and accused the other party of not yielding. The other woman initially tried to calm down her husband, but she was provoked and both women started arguing.

The leading monk tried to interject, uttering a Buddhist chant as he began. The woman with the arrogant demeanor immediately shouted, "Get away from me, stinking monk! Don't tell me you don't have fleas!"

As he spoke, he gave the several monks a withering look.

Why would someone like that go to a temple Do they think lighting a high incense stick for 999 yuan will get them Buddha's blessing

My brother was getting impatient. He walked up and said, "You two are both driving fancy cars, but can't afford to fix a rearview mirror Don't block everyone here. Be civilized and exchange phone numbers, then contact your insurance companies later. Move your cars first—"

"You poor slob, do you even know how much a rearview mirror costs!" That woman's anger immediately flared at my brother: "It's more expensive than your beat-up car! This is an imported car! You don't even know how to yield—"

My brother rarely suffers losses when speaking. He replied, "Who the hell set the rule that imported cars have to yield Are you kidding me Looking at your big head and ears, I bet you've eaten too many of your kind and your brain has turned into jelly!"nothing inside.My brother was not at ease and said, "Come here, let me check you. See if you have anything on you that's carrying bad energy."He took Master Qiu aside. I took a look at the hall of thi...
