Chen Shiyun ignored Wang Changgui's questions and looked confident. Because Wang Changgui had the control over the rights to use the pond, he didn't have to pay it immediately. He could wait until the end of the year when Chen Shiyun had gained something.
Hand over. Wang Changgui also handed back the roasted knife he brought to Chen Shiyun with both hands. However, Chen Shiyun was not the kind of person to push for an extra mile. He declined Wang Changgui's offer to return it and said with a smile, "Just keep this wine, and the money will be paid to you."
I won’t lose a penny to you, and I will definitely pay it back to you by the end of the year.”
Wang Changgui smiled awkwardly and sent Chen Shiyun out of the hospital.
Now that the pond contracting problem has been solved, the next problem Chen Shiyun faces is to clean the pond. The "alongtang" pond is not bad, because everything in the village is washed in it, and under the action of washing powder, there are not many aquatic plants.
On the other hand, the "Dragon King" pond is far away from the village and has been deserted for many years. Not only the water plants have grown wildly, but also the Houttuynia cordata, which is not very vigorous, has piles. It is more difficult to clean up.
The next morning, Chen Shiyun picked up his hoe early and went to the "Dragon King" pond. This pond was about three acres in size and was relatively large. It was located next to the Dragon King Temple. Legend has it that the Dragon King lived under this pond.
However, when Chen Shiyun was a child, he often heard about the origin of the name "Dragon King" pond and why the Dragon King Temple was built. In the past few years, the Dragon King Temple was very popular, but in recent years, due to the unbelievable things about feudal superstition, it has become more and more popular.
As the number of visitors increased, the Dragon King Temple declined and became a dilapidated Dragon King Temple.
Chen Shiyun's first memory of the decline of the Dragon King Temple was in 1998. That year, he and other children in the village could no longer find tributes such as apples and pig heads in the temple, and then a nationwide flood occurred.
Chen Shi used his hands to grab the aquatic plants near the shore. Because the aquatic plants were too lush, they were all uprooted. The only ones that could be pulled ashore were torn branches. If it was done like this, it would probably take half a year.
While we are pulling weeds, let’s talk about raising fish.
Besides, fish farming is also divided into seasons. Late winter is the best season to release fish fry. You can harvest once in summer and once at the end of the year. Looking at the seemingly endless aquatic plants, Chen Shiyun made a major decision to drain the "Dragon King" pond.
"Absolutely not!" Chen Shiyun told Wang Changgui about this decision, but Wang Changgui firmly opposed it. This "Dragon King" pond has not been used for nearly a hundred years. It is a valuable property left by the ancestors. What's more, this "Dragon King" pond is several meters long.
It is deep. If it is drained, it will take at least a month to wait for the "Dragon King" pond to be full. All the water needed for nearby farmland will have to be fetched from the river.
Chen Shiyun had to think of another way, how to clean the "Dragon King" pond without draining the pond water?
Chen Shiyun originally planned to wait until things were settled, then told Chen Shicha about his idea of raising fish. But Wang Changgui was rude and told Chen Shiyun about Chen Shiyun's contracting of the pond. Chen Shicha was so angry that he almost jumped into the "Dragon King" pond.
.
"Shiyun, have you contracted the pond?" Chen Shiyun stopped Chen Shiyun who was about to go out in the morning and asked. No wonder Chen Shiyun has recently
Fortune always comes out early and comes back late.
"Yeah." Chen Shiyun nodded, hoping to get his brother's support, but when he saw Chen Shicha's face flushed with anger, he felt worried.
"Do you know how expensive the rent for contracting a pond is? I can't even pay the rent even if I work for a year." Chen Shidong blamed Chen Shiyun, which is really crazy. Since the last time he came back from the town, Chen Shidong has often seen
Chen Shiyun meditates in bed at night and does nothing else during the day, just walking around the pond.
"I don't want you to hand it over." Chen Shiyun muttered.
"What? If you don't want me to hand it over, then you'll have to pay for it. Who will wipe your butt? It's me." Chen Shidong was very excited...
"How do you know I paid?"
"If you can make money by raising fish in Longwang Pond, it will be your turn. Wang Shi is the only smart person. If you dare to step out of this door today, don't come back to this house in the future." Chen Shicha said harshly,
I hoped that my brother would change his mind, but he never expected that he would get the opposite result.
Chen Shiyun walked out of the house without looking back.
Chen Shiyun was also holding a breath in his heart. It was getting dark and he just didn't want to go back. The night in the "Dragon King" pond looked particularly beautiful and peaceful under the moonlight. Insects were chirping, toads were chirping "GuluGulu", and frogs seemed to be singing.
, the sound reached his ears. Chen Shiyun meditated on the kneeling mat in front of the incense table in the middle of the lobby of Longwang Temple, took out the "Huangdi Neijing" and began to practice. The first stage of cultivation is mainly about the essence, energy and spirit. The so-called refining and transformation of energy needs to be opened up.
Chen Shiyun could not concentrate on the eight extraordinary meridians in his body. He was always thinking about his brother who said he could not succeed during the day, and his mind was filled with resentment.
At this time, Chen Shiyun suddenly discovered that the Dragon King clay sculpture in front of him had lost one eye, but the other eye moved, and his lips also moved accordingly. An old man's voice rang out, "Chen Shiyun..."
"Who?" Chen Shiyun was so frightened that he collapsed.
"I am the Dragon King." the voice said.
When Chen Shiyun heard this, he was shocked again, Dragon King? Is he the Dragon King who lives under the "Dragon King" pond? How is that possible? It's just a legend.
"Where are you?" Chen Shiyun asked.
"Right in front of you." The voice replied. Chen Shiyun looked around and saw no one in the Dragon King Temple. Except for the dilapidated clay statue of the Dragon King, could it be... Chen Shiyun suddenly thought and looked at the clay statue of the Dragon King carefully.
, the eyeballs can actually move.
"You are the Dragon King?" Chen Shiyun couldn't believe it. He pinched himself, but it didn't look like he was in a dream.
"Yes, I have been trapped here for more than a thousand years." The Dragon King said dejectedly, remembering that during the cultivation stage of refining the gods and transforming into voids, he was unable to combine the gods and forced luck, which led to him going crazy. One mistake led to eternal hatred. The Dragon King's
The road to ascending to immortality is hopeless.
I had no choice but to be forced to become the dragon king in Wang Shi, a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, receiving incense for eternity, hoping to have the opportunity to return to the path of cultivating immortality. I have been receiving incense for more than a thousand years, but the incense suddenly stopped a few years ago.
The clay body of the Hidden Yuan Shen was broken, and no one came to repair it. Because the Yuan Shen was trapped in the clay body, the Dragon King could not use his magic to bring the "Dragon King" pond back to life. Unexpectedly, there was a junior in Wang Shidang
Immortal cultivator, Chen Shiyun.
"As long as you help me repair the statue, I will help you clean up this pond." The Dragon King said.
Chen Shiyun did not expect that the Dragon King would also ask for help. The trouble of cleaning the pond happened to be the problem he faced. Helping the Dragon King restore the statue was not only a meritorious deed, but also helped himself. It was simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Chen Shiyun then
