Chapter 143:

"Isn't there a problem with the village?"

"Yes. Zhang Jin nodded, his expression very serious, "I feel that this village is like a well-arranged magic circle. ”

"......" Dongfang Yao unconsciously appeared in his mind the appearance of the entire village, and then found that according to his understanding of the formation, the buildings in this village were scattered, and it seemed that they did not match the legendary formation at all.

Zhang Jin raised his eyes and looked around, in the wax moon in the deep winter, the entire Zhu Jiawa seemed even more lonely and withered because of the lack of human voices.

"The formation of this village is very hidden, although the buildings are scattered, but if you look closely, you can still find that this is a formation formed by the repeated Kun hexagram and Gen hexagram, with the surrounding mountains and the water flow in front of the village as the yin and yang alternately. ”

Dongfang Yao raised his eyes and looked around, if this was the case, then this formation was not a natural formation.

"Although the mountains and the water flow form a good yin and yang interaction, they also need a meson, that is, the buildings in this village, especially those ancient buildings. ”

"What does this formation do?"

"Bless the people who live here – abundant food and clothing, health and longevity. ”

...... "Huh?

“…… This is actually a hidden formation, this formation is not like we know a lot of enemy formations or fortune formations, it will have an effect in the short term, and it will work very much. In fact, it does not need to be activated, it only needs to be based on the environment, and it will automatically protect the fate of the people living here subtly and step by step. ”

"Then what did you mean just now, this formation has been activated now?" Dongfang Yao thought of the key.

Zhang Jin nodded: "Well, I started it three years ago." ”

"Three years ago?"

"Even if this formation is activated, if it doesn't take too long, it's hard to see. Because he was originally a very slow-moving formation, and the things that the formation gathered were different. ”

"It was a premeditated operation. Dongfang Yao said, "I just don't know what the other party can get?"

"Reiki. Zhang Jin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "The only thing that this formation can gather is aura, because only aura can make all things grow, and then make the people living here have enough food and clothing, and be healthy." Except for the aura, this formation can't collect anything else. ”

"Aura? Could it be ......" Dongfang Yao's mind flashed the Mingguang Dao Master he had seen not long ago, this was the chassis of the Shangqing Palace, apart from them, it was really difficult for him to find other suspects. And the head of the Dongfang family also told him that in addition to their martial arts cultivation in this ancient martial arts world, there are also medical cultivation, Taoist cultivation and Buddhist cultivation.

Among them, the cultivation of Taoist cultivation and medical cultivation is very similar, but it is also basically similar to the legendary cultivators, both of which use aura to start from Qi training, and then once Qi practice reaches its peak, it can directly build a foundation, not as troublesome as martial arts, there is a bright energy, dark energy, transformation energy, innate process, and only at the peak of the innate can you really enter the Tao with martial arts and cultivate the secret of immortality.

The Dongfang family also listed some Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons in the ancient martial arts world for him. Among them, there is the Shangqing Palace on the Taoist side. It is said that Shangqing Palace is today's martial arts, except for the original Zhang family, the most complete sect of inheritance. Moreover, the people in their sect generally cultivated faster than others. It is said that the master of the Shangqing Palace, who has died at the age of three hundred, is a cultivator of the ninth layer of qi refining. can be called the first person in martial arts.

Although this Beibi Mountain was originally a legendary feng shui treasure, Shangqing Palace naturally has an advantage. But when the environmental quality of the entire earth is generally low, in terms of their cultivation, let alone the complete inheritance, in fact, secretly fools know that there must be a mysterious place for them to cultivate in the Shangqing Palace.

"......" Zhang Jin didn't know why Dongfang Yao was suddenly silent, and he didn't speak again. In fact, when he first came over, he didn't find out that there was a formation here, because this village was no different from other rural villages, until he saw the stone lion in front of the ancient house in the village.

The stone lion is obviously also an ancient thing, in ancient times, when every big family placed a guardian beast in front of the door, they would invite a special person to come over to open the light, so in fact, some ancient gods and statues still have a protective effect, plus the formation in the village, the longer the lion is, the greater the effect.

This is the case with the stone lion in the village, and when Zhang Jin walked over there, he found that the guardian array on the stone lion had been activated, and there was a layer of black gas on the lion's body. Judging from the inheritance he obtained, the reason for such a phenomenon must be that something very powerful once tried to get close to the lion, but was blocked by the lion.

Of course, if this was just the case, he might suspect that the lion was only blocking the filth of the family, after all, the family left a heavy weight on the stone lion, which belonged to the method of touching the gold in ancient times. But after taking a closer look, he found that the couplets in front of many houses in the village were yellow, which showed that someone from those people had died this year, but there were mythical beasts in front of the doors of several houses they passed by, or the houses of the gossip mirror and other evil suppression objects were pasted with red couplets, even if it was not a red couplet, the sound coming from the yard was much happier than the sound coming from the courtyard of some people.

Of course, all of this is just a speculation on his part, and because of speculation, he has made everything he sees coherent. He actually had a vague guess in his heart, but because it was a guess, he couldn't say it directly.

"Let's take a closer look at this matter later. In just a few minutes, Dongfang Yao had already gone through the surrounding environment and what he knew in his mind. In this matter, the Qing Palace dislikes it the most, but it may also have nothing to do with others. Exactly how it will be, it will have to be investigated.

Zhang Jin nodded, and the two continued to walk towards the old man's house.

The old man's house was not far from where they had been, but it was difficult to find out which one the old man had entered because there were so many straws and wheat stacks around it that it was obscured.

With the help of divine sense, it only took two or three minutes for the two of them to go around to the door of the old man's house. Before he arrived at the other party's door, Zhang Jin saw a yellow couplet pasted on the door of the other party's house from a distance, and his heart instinctively tightened. But then, the gossip mirror on the high door frame attracted his attention. That gossip mirror is obviously a thing with spiritual power, and with such a thing, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be anything wrong with this family.

"Dad, what's wrong, what's the wolf chasing after you?" a smiling thick voice came from the courtyard.

"As much as I talk nonsense, I have a lot of trouble. Are the dumplings wrapped?"

"It's wrapped, it's a lot of wrapping, and it's enough to eat the hairy dog. ”

"It's really a lazy man, can't you divide it a few times? and it doesn't snow, it can't freeze, and it will break down in a few days. ”

"Then I'll eat more, anyway, now like this, there will be no guests at home." By the way, Dad, can't I really set off a cannon? I can't let go of a cannon, and I can't even feel the New Year. ”

"Didn't the above say that you won't let it go, if you don't let it go, you won't let it go, just this year, Uncle Kai's family is like that, and you're embarrassed to put it crackling at home? Beware of Aunt Kai coming to hammer you. ”

"That's because she's too greedy. ”

"Shut up. ”

“……”

Zhang Jin and Dongfang Yao, who were standing outside the courtyard gate, glanced at each other, feeling that they seemed to have heard something from the words of the father and son.

Listening to the old man's voice, it seems that it is still very taboo? If it is really national security, it seems that there should be no need to be so taboo.

"Could it be that it is really from the Shangqing Palace?" Dongfang Yao slandered in his heart.

"Brother Yao, do you want to knock on the door?" I have been eavesdropping for a long time, and now I only knocked on the door, Zhang Jin was slightly embarrassed.

Dongfang Yao nodded: "I'll come." ”

With a powerful knock on the door, the voice of the stout young man came from the courtyard: "Who?

"Uncle, we're here to bring you firewood. Dongfang Yao shouted directly.

The courtyard was originally strange, the people in the village rarely moved around these days, why did someone knock on the door at this time, and when they heard Dongfang Yao's voice, the father and son suddenly had different faces.

The father's face was stiff, and the son looked puzzled, and asked his father stupidly: "Dad, why does it sound like Mandarin?"

The old man's face was entangled, and he said for a long time: "Go and open the door." ”

"Oh. The son got up obediently, rubbed his hand that was spinning chicken feathers in the basin twice, and ran quickly to the gate. The army blockaded the village and prevented it from going out, so the chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs with a face could only kill themselves and eat them.

The door was quickly opened, and Zhang Jin and Dongfang Yao were greeted by a young face about twenty years old and good-looking.

"Guys, oh, you're for my father, no, you're for my father, to send firewood?" The young man looked a little shy in the face of Dongfang Yao and Zhang Jin, and corrected the vernacular in his words several times.

"Yes. Dongfang Yao tried to show harmony as much as possible.

But even so, the young man still didn't dare to look at him head-on, only occasionally peeked at Zhang Jin a few times, and said, "Then come in." Thank you. ”

"Happy New Year, uncle. Dongfang Yao carried firewood and took Zhang Jin into the courtyard, and saw the old man sitting under the eaves smoking dry cigarettes, with an indifferent smile on his face.

The old man's face was a little depressed, and he snapped his hair several times before his son casually closed the courtyard door and said, "You shouldn't come here, especially this little doll, I can't figure out how the government can bring such a clean doll over to do things." If there is a case, it will be too late for you to regret it. ”

The old man's reminder, as well as the intentional or unintentional eyes of others in the previous few times, made Zhang Jin, who understood the main points, a little red. It's not that he wants to think about it. But this time the situation is too special, if he is really a pure sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, he will very much meet the funeral standards of the ancient tomb here, and he will not come to help, but to add to the chaos. It's a pity he's not. So much so that as soon as others reminded him, he couldn't help but think of something discordant.

The most important thing is that he is embarrassed to explain.

"Thank you uncle for the reminder, but my brother is an adult. Dongfang Yao said.

The rare-eyed old man paused when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe it, and compared his son and Zhang Jin for a while. muttered in his mouth: "Sure enough, it's a doll in the city, this looks small." ”

"Uncle, we came here to ask. Are there any empty rooms in those old houses in your village?" Dongfang Yao knew that the old man probably didn't mean to chat with him, so he simply went straight to the topic.

Hearing this, the old man looked up at Dongfang Yao with a different expression.

And the old man's son, who had been squatting on the side and spinning chicken feathers, suddenly smiled and said, "You also want to live in that house? That house is beautiful on the outside, but there is nothing inside." ”

"Is it empty?" Dongfang Yao said.

"yes. The young man who swirled the chicken feathers moved his feet and said, "Almost, the old houses in our village are all public, and the people who live there now are rented." There are still empty houses, and there are them next door to us, but the vacant houses over there, the yards are full of grass, and some of the houses still have bricks and sand left over from the previous brigade repairing houses. Anyway, it's messy. ”

The ancient buildings were all repaired by the brigade? Dongfang Yao and Zhang Jin secretly said in their hearts.

"I see a lot of people coming over there today, and living in a tent is definitely not as comfortable as living in a house. The old man smoked a dry flue, "Especially on this cold day, but the empty house really can't be inhabited. ”

"The weather forecast said it would snow heavily tonight, so we wanted to find a house to stay in for a few days. Zhang Jin suddenly said, "There is no bed, just lay some straw and add two quilts." ”

"Snow?" The old man looked up at the sky with a different face, although the sun was not good in the sky, but it was cloudy weather in winter, and it didn't look like it was going to snow.

"If you really want to live, I know that there is a yard over there that is relatively clean. Without waiting for the old man to speak, the young man who was squatting on the ground and spinning chicken feathers looked up with a smile and said, "As long as you dare to stop." ”

"Hadron, what are you talking about? The old man suddenly shouted.

The young man immediately restrained his smile, as if nothing had happened, lowered his head and continued to obediently touch his chicken feathers.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. You see, it's almost noon, and it's time for us to eat, so we're going to take our leave. Dongfang Yao said with a smile, pulled Zhang Jin and turned away. Since the other party doesn't want to be a 'bad guy', then they can be self-reliant!

"Hey, you baby...... the old man wanted to say something urgently, but he saw that the two people who were still standing in the middle of the courtyard just now had already come to open the door of their house and walked out.

"Oh Dad, these two are martial arts masters. The young man shouted on the side, "This speed is too fast, and it has caught up with the group of Taoist priests above." ”

"What kind of martial arts master, just talk fast, can you live in that place casually?"

"Why can't you, the incense hall can't live in people, the house next to it can live, and even the bed is ready-made. They're all men, what are they afraid of?"
