Chapter 8: Undercover Heresy 2

  Section 1

  In the No. 7 private room of Dongbei Whole Pig Restaurant, several people were devouring pig's trotters with gusto. It was Li Wei treating a few masters from Jiuding Dafa Hall to a feast. The master of the hall was named Zhu Shuren, who at this moment had his mouth full of greasy food and couldn't even stop talking with his mouth full:

  "Wang Lao Di, if you want to make further progress in the Nine Cauldron Great Method, finding me is absolutely the right choice. I know 6 of the 9 guardians, these few great masters have high moral integrity and can use their divine skills and true energy to open up one's meridians for them. Once the mysterious gate is opened and the true energy flows through the Ren and Du channels, the Great Method will definitely yield results. However, the guardians are not people that ordinary individuals can see just because they want to."

  "That's right, I'm telling you, young brother, our Zhu Tangzhong is the most valued hall master by the protector, and he will surely be promoted to the protector in the future. Today, you're lucky, soon Zhu Tangzhong will teach you the law and transmit his power, and we'll also benefit from it!" Wu Changbo said with flattery.

  Li Wei thought to himself, this Zhu Tangzhong is indeed a man of his name, really like a pig's head, doesn't he feel any pain eating his own kind? Li Wei smiled, stood up, raised his wine cup and said:

  "Pigs... Master Tang, I'm honored that you could come at my invitation. It's a privilege for me and also thanks to Wu Laoshi's face. Let me toast you two with a cup, I'll drink it first!" With that, he raised his neck and downed a cup of highland barley liquor.

  "Good brother has a good capacity for wine, let's drink up!"

  Wu Changbo and Zhu Shuren drank every last drop, and the several people who were there to keep them company also finished their drinks. Before agreeing to meet up, Li Wei had already obtained some hangover medicine from Dr. Bluetooth and was fully prepared to get the others drunk. Their glasses clinked together repeatedly, and dish after dish of braised pork trotters and other delicacies were brought out. After Zhu Shuren got drunk, he still managed to stumble over to Li Wei's side and pretend to give him a massage, muttering nonsense as he did so. Once everyone had finished eating, Li Wei arranged for the group to head to a well-known local bathhouse called Xiao Jiangnan, where they enjoyed sauna and massage services. Zhu Dazhu was having the time of his life, grinning from ear to ear. He kept saying that he would take Li Wei to meet his protector tomorrow.

  The next day, after waking up in the bathing room, everyone was gone. Li Weina was puzzled, wondering if she had exposed something or encountered a group of scamming foodies. She immediately dialed Wu Changbo's phone number. After some inquiry, it turned out that these people all had fixed jobs and were office workers, who only went out to play after getting drunk yesterday. After waking up, they all left early, each returning home and making up excuses to appease their wives. It seems that these people are all low-level characters, and if you want to see the backbone, you still need to dig deeper.

  Section 2

  After spending several listless days, Li Wei finally received a call from Zhu Shuren, saying that a Dharma protector No. 10 would be lecturing at the Jiuding Activity Center that evening to transmit the teachings and pass on the power to the Dharma masters, and Zhu Shuren had secured a seat for Li Wei. He was finally going to meet someone more important, so he hastily reviewed the key points of the Jiuding Great Law to avoid mistakes.

  At 2 pm, Li Wei arrived early at the Jiuding Activity Center. Wu Changbo was busy setting up the venue and walked over with a smile when he saw Li Wei coming.

  "Brother Wang came so early, is there something going on?"

  "Has Master Zhutang arrived? I'd like to ask, are there any taboos? When meeting the guardian deity, one must be careful not to be rash!"

  "Little brother is really meticulous, I didn't think of being so thorough, there shouldn't be anything to pay attention to, Zhu Tangzhuzhu will definitely arrive with the guardian in a while."

  "That makes me feel at ease, then Brother Wu will help me arrange a better seat closer to the front."

  "Ah, got it, that's necessary."

  Half an hour later, the venue was packed. At 6:00 pm sharp, Zhu Shuren and a few others escorted a woman into the venue, apparently a female bodyguard, a relatively plump woman in her thirties with very white skin and a large butt, wearing a semi-transparent silk white qipao, a very obvious fact that only Li Wei noticed, or rather, other people's minds were elsewhere. The qipao was almost clinging to her skin like a silk nightgown, from the outline, it could be seen that this woman wasn't wearing underwear.

  The music started, and everyone stood up from their seats with a solemn expression. It was still that music that Li Wei disliked from the bottom of his heart, but this time the commentator was explaining some vague and intangible things, some from Taoist scriptures, some from Buddhist sutras, yet neither of them made sense. There were even a few lines from the "Zheng Qi Ge" poem. The person who wrote this passage still had some tricks up their sleeve. What universe, what fleeting life, what floating above the world, what seeing through the red dust? Li Wei didn't know what it meant. He continued to listen to the music, avoiding listening to the boring and annoying commentary, but this time he was listening to rock music. Because the nonsense commentary went on for over half an hour, Li Wei became mesmerized by the music, even tapping his feet to the beat and nodding his head. When the music stopped and everyone sat down, he was still standing there, swaying to the rhythm. Everyone stared at him in shock, and Wu Changbo hurried over to push him gently. Li Wei looked around and glanced at the stage, unsure of what to say or do next. At this moment, the female bodyguard spoke up:

  "What did you feel, believer?"

  "The Nine Tripod Methods are great, when I listened to it, I felt my whole body burning with heat, the energy flowing vigorously, and couldn't help myself."

  "Well, it seems you're a promising talent. Is Zhu Tangzhuzhe a follower of yours from your sect?"

  "He was just an ordinary student, but I found him to be extremely talented, so I made an exception and allowed him to attend the gathering that only Dharma masters could attend, to listen to their teachings and guidance."

  "Very good, very good, Zhu Tangzhu has a good eye for people." The female guardian looked Li Wei up and down several times before continuing:

  "All of you masters enter meditation, I will transmit power to you from a distance, the amount you receive depends on your karma!"

  The goddess stamped her foot, pushed out with both palms, and muttered to herself. It seemed as if a wisp of white smoke was rising from the top of her head. The crowd also raised their palms, as if they really felt an inner power coming through. Li Wei gritted his teeth and raised his palm in response, not because he wanted to exaggerate his expression, but because if he didn't, he would probably burst out laughing.

  After 10 minutes, the female guardian finished her work, drenched in sweat. Zhu Shuren hastily said:

  "The Dharma protector has exhausted his strength to transmit the Dharma to all of you, everyone must practice diligently and will definitely reach a higher level. After running the Nine Cauldron Great Dharma for one week, I'll first escort the Dharma protector to rest. In a while, I'll come back to assess how many cauldrons each of your strengths has reached."

  Li Wei continued to pretend for another 10 minutes, at which point he saw Wu Changbo carrying a red box and walking over with someone from the front of the line. This was it! They were here to collect money! As they approached Li Wei, Wu Changbo gave him a signal and said:

  "Please donate membership fees to Jiuding Foundation."

  Li Wei pulled out his wallet and stuffed all the big tickets into the box. The person next to Wu Changbo pulled him, saying in a long voice:

  "The Tao is natural, the merits are boundless..." and then he asked for money. Li Wei cursed in his heart, why didn't this pig of a master say that donations were needed? You dead Wu Changbo, you fart at me! I lost several hundred dollars because of him. After collecting the money, Zhu Shuren appeared and started distributing something according to the order. When he reached Li Wei's side, he finally saw clearly that it was a badge with a person printed on it, with golden hair and several cauldrons below. The badge Li Wei received had 4 cauldrons, indicating that he had already reached the fourth cauldron level. After distributing the badges, Zhu Shuren returned to the stage and lectured:

  "In the future, I hope that all of you Dharma masters will widely gather disciples and spread the teachings. Today's gathering comes to a close here; the Tao is natural, merits are boundless..."

  Everyone shouted in unison:

  "The Tao models itself after Nature; its virtue is boundless..."

  Section 3

  Li Wei was walking back to the hotel, discussing with Dr. Bluetooth about their next move. To infiltrate the organization, Li Wei had to be extremely cautious. During the meeting, Li Wei almost lost his composure and had to suppress laughter several times. He needed to have a solid acting skill to avoid mistakes.

  Li Wei reflected on his own mistake, and Dr. Bluetooth said he discovered an issue. From Li Wei's physical data, when listening to the music of Jiǔ Dǐng Dà Fǎ, there were changes in his body data. Fortunately, at that time, Li Wei was distracted by the song, otherwise, he might have lost his mind. The work uniform also detected a slight toxic substance.

  Reminding Shan Pao to be more careful in the future, Dr. Bluetooth would install an antidote system that could automatically neutralize toxins when detected. Before they finished analyzing, the phone rang, and it was Zhu Shu Ren. Li Wei immediately answered the call.

  "Wang old brother, you are lucky, the guardian sighed that you are a rare talent, intentionally cultivating and promoting, wanting to personally pass on the heart method to you, old brother come quickly!"

  "This..."

  "What a wonderful thing! It's hard to find such good things even with a lantern. The Bodhisattva is staying in room 502 of the Dongfeng Hotel, you must go!"

  "Alright then I'll go." Bluetooth quietly reminded Li Wei that he must go, this was a great opportunity to infiltrate the inside, so Li Wei agreed.

  "Alright then, goodbye brother. Cultivate well!"

  Li Wei felt a bit awkward, but the Bluetooth said there was no problem. With a nervous heart, Li Wei hailed a taxi and rushed to the Dongfeng Hotel. Upon entering the hotel, after stating his intention, the receptionist immediately led him to the elevator, where Li Wei felt that the reception girl's gaze was a bit strange. Arriving at room 502, Li Wei saw the reception girl whispering with the floor service staff, and he sighed, knocking on the door. After the door opened, Li Wei felt even more that coming here was a mistake, as the female bodyguard wore a low-cut semi-transparent nightgown and smiled at him.

  "Master Wang invited me in and said, 'Today I discovered your enlightenment nature, and I feel that I must not miss you. I will definitely teach you the Great Law personally.'"

  "Hofa praised me, I just spoke out of temporary feelings." As he entered the room, Li Wei smelled a strange and unusual fragrance.

  "How many layers of the Nine Tripod Great Method does Master Wang understand?"

  "One tripod strengthens the body, two tripods cultivate energy, three tripods lay the foundation, four tripods return to the origin, and then I don't know what's next."

  "Alright, I'll continue to explain. Five Tripods correspond to the Mysterious and Profound, Six Tripods correspond to Dual Cultivation, Seven Tripods correspond to Ascension, Eight Tripods correspond to Heaven and Man, Nine Tripods correspond to Immortal Spirits. Among them, Six Tripods is a threshold, one must have at least six Tripods of protective laws to dual cultivate with in order to break through."

  "I see, I'm just a fourth-tier candidate, looks like there's no chance for now."

  "It's also possible to directly cultivate the Six Ding Double Refining method; today, this Dharma Protector will once again expend true energy for you."

  At this time, a Bluetooth voice came from the ear: The air contains ** components, it seems that you can't escape, but don't worry, the electronic fly has collected the woman's blood and analyzed it, there is no infectious disease, so go ahead!

  Li Wei thought to himself, "Go ahead and be at ease, I'm going to die anyway! This old woman isn't even my type!"

  "Please get on the bed and loosen your clothes, in a moment the true energy will flow greatly, if you don't loosen your clothes, I'm afraid you'll go crazy!"

  Li Wei's heart skipped a beat: Ah no! Do I really have to sacrifice my looks?!

  One hand stripped off Li Wei's clothes, the other patted and slapped to make a hole-like shape. After stripping naked, the female guard suddenly stretched out one hand towards Li Wei's lower body, and Li Wei shouted:

  "Don't be a law enforcement officer!"

  "Don't call me Hu Fa, call me Xiao Fang."
