Chapter 34: Leaving a Poem
Because it is located in the area of Poyang Lake, there are no high mountains around Lianhu Township, and the mountain that the old man of the Yin family refers to is a small hill that is only about 50 meters high.
The entire hillside has been reclaimed by the villagers, and you can see farmland all the way, but because it is a mountainous area, it is planted with some drought-resistant vegetables, mainly potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Such a small hill, before he went up the mountain, Su Chen saw that there were three or four wooden houses, and the distance between them was not particularly far.
"Mr. Su, these wooden houses are built by the townspeople, in the early years, there were many animals in the mountains, and wild boars and the like, and they would come out to the fields at night to harm the plants, so the villagers simply built wooden houses on this mountain to keep vigil, if there were wild boars or the like, they could be driven away. ”
Yinli took Su Chen up the mountain, and when he passed by those wooden houses, he also explained to Su Chen the function of these wooden houses.
"But in recent years, everyone has rarely farmed, and the old people still grow some vegetables to eat at home, and most of the fields on this mountain are deserted, even if there is planting, the master will not be so elaborate, so they will come up to hoe some grass and apply fertilizer. ”
Yinli continued as he introduced: "Turning over the mountain, you can see the wooden house where Master Xiao lives on the other side of the mountain, and I have only been here once, or once with my grandfather a few years ago. ”
When she said this, Yin Li Miaomu looked at Su Chen with some curiosity, she didn't know what Mr. Su talked about with her grandfather, and her grandfather suddenly gave him a key and asked him to take Mr. Su to Master Xiao's wooden house.
"The other side of the mountain is facing Poyang Lake. ”
Su Chen looked at the direction, he couldn't see Poyang Lake from this side, because it was blocked by the mountain, and when he walked to the top of the mountain a few minutes later, he could look down on the water surface of Poyang Lake in front of him, and the vast Poyang Lake couldn't be seen at a glance.
At the bottom of the hill are two wooden houses, but they are much more elaborate than the simple wooden houses built by the villagers, and they are surrounded by a courtyard wall made of stones.
"Woohoo!"
When Su Chen and Yin were still more than twenty meters away from the wooden house, there was a sound of dogs barking in the yard.
"This is a wolf dog raised by my fifth uncle, my grandfather said that he was afraid that some thieves would steal things from Master Xiao's wooden house, so he specially asked my fifth uncle to lock the wolf dog in the yard and guard the door. ”
Yinli opened the wooden door of the courtyard with the key, and a yellow figure quickly rushed out, jumping directly onto Yinli's body, and the huge momentum made Deyinli stumble and fall backwards.
Seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly reached out and grabbed Yinli's arm, so that the other party did not fall.
"Thank you, Mr. Su. ”
Yinli felt the warmth from his arm, his pretty face flushed slightly, and then looked at the wolf dog that kept biting his tail at his feet, and said angrily: "Dudu, you almost caused me to fall." ”
Woohoo.
Dudu barked a few times towards Yinli to express his grievances, but when the dog's eyes shifted to Su Chen, the dog suddenly slammed its front paws into the ground, and its whole body fell down, which was the posture of all dogs before attacking.
"Dudu, this is Mr. Su, not an outsider. ”
Seeing this scene, Yin Li hurriedly reached out to stroke Dudu's dog's head, wanting to calm Dudu down, but the strange thing was that Dudu ran away directly, ran a few meters away, and roared at Su Chen.
"Is this feeling the yin qi on my body?"
Su Chen was not surprised by the performance of this wolf dog, although because of the Joy Divine Technique, the yin qi in his body could not be seen by ordinary cultivators, but the dog was different, the dog's nose was very smart, and it was estimated that he smelled the yin qi emanating from his body.
Dogs are very sensitive to all kinds of smells, such as many times in the middle of the night, some dogs bark for no reason, just because they smell unfamiliar or special smells.
However, it is very simple to deal with this kind of dog, Su Chen no longer restrained the breath on his body, the yin qi in his body was released, and the wolf dog's eyes changed, from the original lying down to lying down, looking at Su Chen's eyes were full of fear, and his mouth made a whimpering choking sound.
"It's okay, let's go inside. ”
Yinli saw Dudu lying on the ground so obediently and didn't even dare to move, looking at Su Chen's eyes full of curiosity, she was curious about what Mr. Su had done, which made Dudu so scared.
After the two walked into the courtyard, Yinli took out another key and opened the door of the wooden house, pushed open the tomb door, and there was a creaking sound, but the hygiene in the house was a little unexpected by Su Chen, there was not much dust, and it was obviously cleaned by someone on a regular basis.
In addition, Su Chen also smelled a fragrance, which was the smell of mothballs, which was mainly used for antiseptic and insect and moth-proof, after all, there were many mosquitoes in this mountain, and if you didn't take some protective measures, even the furniture would be eaten by insects.
There was no electric light in the room, but there was a kerosene lamp and a flashlight on the table, and the whole thing was simple, the hall was just a table and a few stools, and inside was a wooden bed, but there was a door on the left side.
Seeing Su Chen walking towards this door, Yin Li introduced: "This is Master Xiao's study, the things left by Master Xiao are all in it, and my grandfather will ask my uncle and them to come over and clean them every week." ”
Pushing open the study, what was printed in Su Chen's eyes was a desk, which was filled with some thread-bound books, and on the desk in front of the bookshelf, there was a brush stand, on which there were more than a dozen brushes, followed by an inkstone and rice paper spread under the inkstone.
"Mr. Su, if you want to find any information, you can find it, and I'll feed Dudu. ”
Although I don't know what Mr. Su talked about with his grandfather, since his grandfather asked him to bring Mr. Su here, it was obviously for the books in Master Xiao's study, as a college student, she usually didn't like to be disturbed by others when she went to the library to look up materials, so she didn't want to disturb Mr. Su at this time.
"Miss Yin is herself. ”
Su Chen smiled and nodded, and after walking into the study, he glanced at the thread-bound books on the bookshelf, most of these books were printed in the eighties, and they were all in traditional characters, among which there were many feng shui books, and as for the books on fortune telling and physiognomy, there were only one or two.
"This Master Xiao should only be good at fortune telling, and he doesn't know much about feng shui, and these books should be found by him to learn. ”
After a cursory flip through these books, Su Chen had a rough judgment on this Master Xiao's ability, and the reason why he came to such a conclusion was very simple.
At that Master Xiao's age, he should have learned the art in the sixties and seventies, if he really wants to understand the feng shui industry, why bother to read these books printed in the eighties and nineties.
What's more, these feng shui books are divided into several genres, the "Geographical Mountain Head Formula" is obviously from Yang Gong's Feng Shui, and the "Twenty-four Directions Theory" belongs to the Triad School, and this "Flying Star Nine Points" belongs to the Xuankong School.
Generally, I will read a variety of Feng Shui books, and there are only two kinds of people, one is a beginner who does not know where to start and reads everything, and the other is a master who wants to integrate other schools of thought to understand it.
If Master Xiao is an earth master, and he has already reached the realm of integrating multiple school theories, he will not wait until he dies and does not wait for the earth crown to be born, and the earth master who has reached this realm will naturally have a way to obtain the earth crown in advance.
In Su Chen's guess, the biggest possibility is that Master Xiao discovered the existence of the earth crown, and then collected these feng shui books, wanting to find out if there was a way to obtain the earth crown in advance.
Looking away from the bookshelf and landing on the desk, the rice paper pressed by the inkstone was not blank, the first rice paper was written with two lines of poetry written on it.
"Ten miles since entering Poyang, the lake is too empty. The dead wood has roots and thousands of branches, the empty shrine is fragrant and prosperous, and the real wonders of the four circles are revealed, and there is no magic method to see through the universe. ”
There is also an hour and name below this poem: Xiao Shengxing, a contemptible person in the year of Kwai Younian, was moved. (A second trick appears, satisfying his requirements: the protagonist is promoted to a higher character.) )
The first two sentences and the last two sentences of this poem are easy to understand in Su Chen's opinion, but the middle sentence is a little obscure, the first sentence describes the scenery, and the last sentence should have something to do with the earth crown.
Because this Master Xiao died before Miss Yin was born, it is inferred that it has been at least more than 20 years, so this Kwai You Year should refer to the 90s.
According to what the old man of the Yin family said, this Master Xiao died in 96, if you push it up, Kwai Younian refers to 93 years, that is to say, at least before 93 years, this Master Xiao discovered the crown of the earth, and this sentence should refer to the fact that he found the ground, but there was no way to get the crown, and this poem was born. ”
Of course, this is just Su Chen's own speculation, whether this poem has this meaning can no longer be determined, and now the most important thing is the meaning of the middle two sentences, "Dead wood has roots and a thousand branches" and "The empty shrine is fragrant and prosperous." ”
However, Su Chen was not in a hurry, he only took a cursory glance, and there were still a lot of notes left by this Master Xiao on the table, which should be rewarding.
Thinking of this, Su Chen glanced at Yin Li, who was about to sweep the cobwebs on the eaves with a broom outside, this girl is quite bold and capable, normal girls are most afraid of these spiders, insects and the like, where do they dare to get these.
"Miss Yin, you go down the mountain first, I'll spend the night here tonight. ”
Yin Li had just gotten the cobwebs down, and when he heard Su Chen's words, he asked in surprise: "Mr. Su, there has been no one living here for a long time, and there is no quilt ......."
"Don't get in the way, people in our industry, sometimes it's normal to eat and sleep in the open, so I can take the evening time to study the notes left by Master Xiao. ”
Hearing Su Chen say this, Yin Li didn't say anything more, ordinary people would definitely not dare to live alone in a wooden house on the mountain for the night, but a master like Mr. Su would definitely not be afraid.
"Then in the evening, I'll bring you food. ”
Su Chen glanced at the sky, which was already a little dim, and replied, "It's inconvenient for you to go up the mountain at night as a girl, so it's better to ask a man to send it to me." ”
"It's okay, I'll call my companion. ”
"Then trouble Miss Yin. ”
Su Chen didn't be polite in the end, even if he was a cultivator, he had to eat, not to mention that he had only just stepped into the threshold of cultivation with half a foot.
