Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 102 Male Male, Female Female

Although the village was full of resentment, Jiang Xuan actually didn't find any evil spirits.

The seven emotions in the village are all born of human beings, and the villagers also exude a spiritual aura that belongs to human beings, and their emotions are mostly peaceful and tranquil.

Jiang Xuan came here more because he wanted to know where the resentment in this village came from.

Walking in front of the old man, seeing that the old man stopped his hands and began to look at himself, Jiang Xuan immediately gave him a student salute:
"Hello old man, Tang Song, a student of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Prefecture Academy of Arts, came to Sixi County not only to travel, but also to find relatives."

"After getting off the boat in Longmian Town, I walked around and looked around. I arrived at Guicun before I knew it. Please also tell me how to get to Xiaxi County."

Seeing Jiang Xuan saluting and asking for directions, the old man wanted to put down his hoe and help him without hesitation.

But he looked down at his muddy hands holding the hoe, and at Jiang Xuan's body embroidered with green bamboo, which looked like a Confucian robe that was not stained with a trace of dust, and finally put down his hands embarrassingly:

"This is Hongyang Village under Longmian Town. The little old man is called Chen Pingyi. If a scholar wants to go to Sixi County, he can return to Longmian Town the same way. There is a post station in the town, and you can take a carriage from the post station to Sixi County directly."

"If the scholar is fine, then leave earlier."

Jiang Xuan nodded upon hearing the words, and then said:
"I also want to let the old man know that the next time I travel to various places, I also have the idea of ​​experiencing the customs of various places, listening to the stories of different places, and thus writing books and talking about them."

"I don't know if there are any myths and legends in Sixi County, or Longmian Town, or Guicun."

"If there is, I want to listen to it and record it in the book."

The old man's eyes immediately lit up when he heard Jiang Xuan's words, then put the hoe handle on his shoulder, rubbed his palms and said:

"Can the old man be written in the book?"

"Naturally."

"If it's Zhiyi that I find interesting, then I will write down this passage in the book:

In the autumn of the Jiashen year, I went to Sixi County to look for relatives, and met an old man, Chen Pingyi, who told me about Sixi County."

Seeing the old man's excited look during the conversation, Jiang Xuan continued:

"If the book written by me will be published in the future, I will also send someone to send a copy of the book to the old man's house to express my gratitude to you, old man."

This time, the old man couldn't hold back anymore.

After putting down the hoe, he led Jiang Xuan to the locust tree, and then asked again:
"Is what the scholar said true?"

Jiang Xuan nodded.

If there is such a day in the future, he would not mind writing what he saw and heard into a strange story.

If a book is published, it is certainly not difficult to give a copy to the old man.

Seeing Jiang Xuan nodding his head again, the old man immediately circled under the tree.

After a long time, he suddenly said, "Scholar, do you know? We have dragons in Sixi County."

Jiang Xuan nodded, "Since I've come to Sixi County, I naturally know this allusion."

"There is a dragon in Four Happiness, sleep in the big lake, there is a god in the lake, and ride the dragon."

"That's where the name of Longmian Town comes from."

After getting Jiang Xuan's answer, the old man immediately frowned and started scratching his head.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that the old man really couldn't say anything, Jiang Xuan showed a hint of helplessness and was about to say goodbye when the old man suddenly said:

"Scholar, since you know the story of Sixi County and Longmian Town, do you want to know the story of our Hongyang Village?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan's heart moved, and he secretly said, "Here we come."

Then he shook his head calmly:

"Old man, please speak."

"Before I've only heard the rumor that Sixi has a dragon, I've never heard of the story about Hongyang Village."

Seeing Jiang Xuan's expression, the old man suddenly shook his head and smiled, then sighed:
"Scholar, do you know that Hongyang Village used to be called Pingyang Village instead of Hongyang Village?"

"The reason for changing the name to Hongyang Village is because a Taoist came to this village a hundred years ago, and then the Taoist said that the name Pingyang is not good, and it will suppress Yang Qi."

"After listening to the Taoist's words, Lizheng also thought about how short-lived the people of our Pingyang Village have been over the past few hundred years, let alone any high-ranking officials, so he begged the name of Hongyang Village from the Taoist."

"Don't tell me, our village has indeed produced three scholars since then, and what the Taoist said really came true."

After Jiang Xuan heard this, he patted his left hand with a paper fan, showing a helpless gesture:

"If it's just that, then it shouldn't be enough to write it down in the book."

The old man was not in a hurry after hearing this, but he showed the expression of a young man who was just impatient:

"Old man, I haven't finished talking yet, what are you anxious for, scholar?"

After saying that, he took down a bong from the tree hole, took out a torch from his pocket, lit the shredded tobacco, and took a deep breath:
"What the old man said is just a word of mouth in the village, which is known to everyone, but there are many things that others don't know."

While speaking, dark clouds suddenly merged in the cloudless sky to cover the sun, and the boundless wind suddenly blew, making the locust trees behind Jiang Xuan rustle.

Looking at the village not far away filled with resentment, Jiang Xuan's heart flickered, and he patted the little tiger without a trace.

The next moment, the sky cleared and the wind stopped. The old man Chen who seemed to be unaware continued to smoke the pipe and said in a low voice:
"Everyone knows that Lizheng spent a lot of money to ask the Taoist to change the name of the village, but no one else knows what kind of price Lizheng spent, and what is the real reason why he is willing to spend a lot of money."

"Master, there is something wrong with the earth temple in Hongyang Village, and the resentment is almost solidified, but I haven't found the source of the resentment."

"The sky change just now was also due to the leaked resentment."

The voices of the old man Chen and the little tiger reached Jiang Xuan's ears at the same time.

Jiang Xuan sent the sound transmission to the little tiger to tell him to stand still, while continuing to listen to the old man's narration.

"Scholar, do you know? That Lizheng who paid a lot of money to find a Taoist to change the name of the village actually has an older brother."

"However, his elder brother died early, otherwise when would he be able to take the right position here?"

"By the way, his elder brother was born at the time of the sun in the sun, moon and sun, and died at the time of the sun and moon in the sun."

"There is willing to spend a lot of money to change the name of the village, and it is also related to his brother."

"Lizheng's elder brother accidentally fell into the water and died while fishing in Yunmengze."

"About three years after he passed away, Lizheng's brother told him in a dream at night that he was too yang down there and couldn't have a baby, so he asked him to marry a yin girl."

"This dream lasted for a month, and when Li was worrying, he happened to meet that Taoist."

"When the Taoist knew about Lizheng's dream, he calculated it for him, and said that during the cloudy time of the cloudy year, the moon, the cloudy day, and the cloudy day, it is enough to marry a woman born in the cloudy year."

"As long as he gets married, his dream will not only be solved, but also improve the Feng Shui in the village and make the village rich."

"He also said that there is a yin girl in the village."

"And he was right."

"In the village there is indeed a four-pillar female born in the year of Jihai."

"After the Taoist said this, Lizheng, who had been dreaming for a month, believed it, and the villagers who had been poor all their lives also believed it. Only the girl's family didn't believe it."

"But what can he do if he doesn't believe it?"

"I think you, scholar, can guess what will happen next."

"The family is broken, and the person is dead. I feel sorry for the girl who was thirty-eight years old. Although no one dared to marry because of her status as a yin girl, she was born with that beautiful face. Why did she become a ghost who died young?"

"Boom~"

In the cloudless sky, there was loud thunder for no reason, so Jiang Xuan couldn't hear the old man's last two words clearly.

But the old man can actually guess those two words without saying it.

It is nothing more than the word Yin and wife.
