Chapter 55 Corruption and Feng Shui
In the early morning, the pepper field in front of the door is full of green, and when you look up, you can see the bamboo shoots blocking the blue sky.
Lin Haoran walked out of the house and stood in front of the open space, stretching his limbs. Suddenly, as if he was electrocuted, he made a few gestures with his hands and feet, and at the same time said "hum ha ha ha ha" in his mouth.
Yesterday he had a very bizarre dream. He was chased by Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Yang Yuhuan and Hua Mulan, the four masters of the world, holding Durex, whips, red candles and other sacred weapons. He was forced to jump off the stone bridge in Changlin Village.
, the body suddenly became smaller and fell into the mouth of a koi fish. As a result, he did not die, but came to the alien base.
Since all the aliens were dead, it was also called the Dead Light Alien Base. He found a "Spaceship Operation Guide" inside. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the long-lost "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. He devoted himself to
After practicing for thirty years, he became an eminent monk with unparalleled martial arts skills. From then on, he was invincible in the martial arts world and changed his name to Feng Qingyang.
Although the dream is very illogical, it undoubtedly proves that he has a connection with kung fu, and he may have become a martial arts master at this moment without knowing it.
"Brother, look at the sword!"
Huniu was obsessed with that sword these days. She was gesticulating with a stick just now. At this time, she looked back and saw Lin Haoran showing off her fists and kicks. As if she was provoked by her opponent, she raised the stick to attack him.
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Although her body was thick and fleshy, her speed was not slow. She used skillful moves, first attacking on the right, then turning around to attack on the left, and finally slashing her head on.
Ah! Ah! It hurts!
Lin Haoran couldn't avoid it, and was hit with all his moves, and these three sticks also woke him up. Yesterday was indeed a weird dream. He has not become a peerless martial arts master, at least now he may not even be able to beat a little girl.
snort!
Huniu didn't use much force. At this time, her chin was raised slightly and she looked at Lin Haoran very proudly.
"Hu Niu, isn't that a sword in your hand? How do you use a sword?" Lin Haoran said complainingly, covering his sore arm.
Huniu was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyelashes flashed twice, and then she raised her head and said with certainty: "Mine is a sword! But this side has a blade, and this side doesn't!"
This is not a sword, it is a Japanese sword, okay? Illiteracy killed me!
Lin Haoran was speechless when he heard her description. When she said she wanted to buy a sword, he thought it was strange, but now he was sure that what this girl wanted was not a sword, but a Japanese samurai sword.
But how did she know about the Japanese samurai sword? Could it be someone in the village? Maybe she had a magical dream?
Huniu didn't know what he was thinking, so she made a few more gestures with her stick, and then skipped back to the house to prepare breakfast. She planned to wait for Ali again in the afternoon, and this time she must take a good look at the sword.
.
Lin Haoran returned to the kitchen, picked up a bucket and planned to fetch water. The water at home was being consumed very quickly.
Different from the past, his identity has changed now. Many people on the street call him "Master Tongsheng". Whether they like it or not, everyone feels that they are inferior to him.
Since a large group of people returned from doing corvée work yesterday, the village was obviously a lot more lively, and there were some young and strong figures by the well.
"A Niu, why are you so thin?" Lin Haoran was shocked when he saw A Niu at the well. The man had lost a lot of weight, and his eye sockets were even sunken.
They all have no energy.
"I also went to do corvee work, but Capt. Zhao deprived me of food, so I couldn't eat enough!" A Niu smiled reluctantly, and then congratulated: "I heard, you were admitted to Tongsheng, you are so awesome
!”
"Help me carry water, and I'll get you some meat later to help you make up for it!" Lin Haoran handed the pole over and said with a smile.
A Niu took the pole, showed his white teeth and said: "No need for meat, just eat enough!"
Lin Haoran liked this simple and strong man very much, so he followed him and asked about some things about the corvee. Listening to his story one by one, he felt very lucky.
Corvee service is an act in which the ruling class recruits civilians to work for free. In large cases, it uses millions of people to build the Forbidden City in Shuntian Prefecture, and in small cases, it involves digging ditches nearby.
This time it was quite good. I was drafted to build a dam in Shicheng and worked hard for a month. Some corvee workers are very screwed up and will not ask you to come over when they are free. They wait until the busy farming season before drafting you there. Some may even be drafted for several years.
He didn't even come back alive.
After breakfast, Lin Haoran took A Niu to Crouching Tiger Mountain. He had left a password yesterday and planned to make another deal with Hu Da, hoping to get some prey for a banquet.
Crouching Tiger Mountain is named after the mountain resembles an entrenched tiger.
The ancestors of the Lin family were buried in the "head", which is known as a geomantic treasure land that can produce the number one scholar. There are actually many theories about its origin in the village, and the most popular one is the beggar theory.
On a cold winter day, the ancestors of the Lin family opened the door and saw a beggar lying in front of the door. The beggar was dying and his body was almost hardened into a piece of iron. The ancestors hurriedly carried him into the house and took some cotton.
The beggar started a high fever and almost burned the quilt. Fortunately, the ancestors made a fire.
Knowing medical skills saved him. After the beggar recovered from his illness, our ancestors killed the only old hen in the family and used chicken soup to help him replenish his health, along with four mushrooms. However, the beggar found it too salty, so the ancestors drank it.
After taking a large bowl, he found that it was indeed salty, so he added another pot of water. The beggar was overjoyed and told his ancestors a huge secret.
It turned out that before this beggar became a beggar, he was actually the apprentice of a great master, but he was not good at studying and was expelled from the apprenticeship, and finally fell into this situation. However, he visited the entire Qingshui Town and finally found a unique geomantic treasure land.
He vowed to his ancestors: "If this treasure land is buried, as long as we worship it every year, the population will be prosperous for a hundred years, and the number one scholar will definitely be born in three or eight years."
The previous sentence undoubtedly confirms that now, a hundred years later, Changlin Village is indeed prosperous. However, the number one scholar in these "three or eight years" needs to be further verified by future generations.
Lin Haoran still chose to come here, stood on the tomb and looked down, which was the winding river and the Pingyang Bridge across the river.
That bridge seemed to have a huge magic power, attracting the tiger across it, thus becoming the Pingyang Tiger, causing the entire Changlin Village to sink into the mud, never to emerge.
This...is superstitious!
Lin Haoran finally gave up the idea of finding someone to burn the bridge. After all, he didn't believe it, so he turned around and left with A Niu.
Chapter completed!
