Chapter 8: The Void Against the Sea (3) The Wild Ghost Shadow is heavy
"What's going on?"
"It's a long story, you still need to recover, so eat this porridge first. β
Although it was just an ordinary bowl of porridge, Lin Chen also ate very deliciously.
"Here's the thing......" In the process of Lin Chen eating porridge, Meng whispered the beginning and end of the matter little by little, of course, most of the matter Lin Chen had already learned in the confrontation just now.
"No problem, they all say that if a Zen practitioner doesn't speak, you won't regret it. β
"Meditation practitioners?"
"Do you think we won't be able to see it if you don't say it, your short hair is too obvious, and anyone else who has short hair except for those who practice meditation. Of course, Sister Qingwu marrying you is just an expedient measure, you have to stick to the Buddha nature and don't move your mortal heart. β
"Okay. Lin Chen nodded, but he thought in his heart that there was Buddhism in this world.
"You take care of your illness, this month everyone has to prepare for the water fishing competition at the beginning of next month, there may be no time to pay attention to you, if you have anything, just tell me, I am the most idle at home." β
"Water Trapping Competition?"
"Yes, it's held every six years, this is the fourth time, I was only eleven years old when it was last held, and all the water catcher groups in Xiaochi Prefecture will come, but it's lively, the purpose is to divide the boundary authority of this water fishing. β
"Are there a lot of water catchers?"
"Within our Xiaochi County, there are more than ten large and small, maybe more, of course our Dream Army is the most powerful, there are probably more than two hundred people, of course, this is only an official member......"
This chat is a small half a day, from the water fishing competition, to the customs and customs of Xiaochi County, and then to the ideal of life. Due to the different worldviews, Lin Chen's ideas made Dream Whispering feel very novel.
"Why don't you understand anything, did you all practice meditation in the mountains before, and do you Zen cultivators think so strangely?"
"Probably, can I go and visit your water trapping equipment?" Lin Chen is still very curious about the Mengjia's unique water trapping equipment, it is said that the Mengjia relies on this equipment to dominate several water fishing competitions.
"Of course you can, but you can only look at the appearance, you can't open it, the repair of the equipment is controlled by Uncle Yan, and outsiders are not allowed to open it. Look, it's just been brought out of the mountains, and now it's full of water. β
Through the window, Lin Chen saw a large black ball about half a person tall being pushed into the courtyard.
"There is a water inlet hole in the water trap, and when the water comes, it enters the ball through the orifice, and the water can't get out after it recedes, which is amazing. Dream whispered as her eyes shone with little stars.
"It's just a non-return device. Lin Chen looked at the water trap outside the window, was in a state of in-depth research, and said casually.
"What's the notice?"
"No, nothing. Next, Lin Chen shirked his physical discomfort and closed the door.
1. Method: Distillation, need: fire source, iron pot, cover, collection dish......
2. Method: XX, need to ......
Lin Chen listed the methods in the notebook.
"Where are you?" The little blind man leaned over and took a look.
"Work, don't bother me. β
On the second day, Lin Chen got up early in the morning, walked out of the door, straightened his waist, looked at the sky, and sighed: "I used to go around the city in circles, and I really never saw the sea, but I didn't expect the first time I saw it was in the sky." β
"Look, look, that's the eldest aunt. β
"Why does this hair look like a meditator? β
"Why is it so awkward to walk, it can't be a cripple. β
Lin Chen didn't care about the whispers of the two people on the side, walked slowly to the water trap in the courtyard, leaned over and took a closer look, yesterday he had seen how the people in the courtyard took out water from this water trap, which made him think of the water dispenser on the earth, and the barrel of beer.
"What? Curious?"
"It's not very complicated. Lin Chen subconsciously spoke.
"What a big breath, but I didn't expect you, a Zen practitioner, to be very dishonest. β
"Dishonest?" In the past two days, a little blind man jumped around in his consciousness, and Lin Chen noticed that someone was talking to him next to him.
Suddenly, Lin Chen realized that this was not Dream Whispering, but her sister Dream Whispering, "It's just a small device, what's so dishonest." β
"You're just not honest! not honest!" said Dream Dance.
"Wow, this is starting to be dishonest before you even enter the door. "I must be fussy with Miss Maiden. "It looks quite sven, but I didn't expect it, it's really unseemly. "Hurry up, hurry up, Miss and Uncle are watching us." The two whisperers next to him passed by again, and happened to hear Dream Dance's coquettishness.
"Da Lu, Xiao Lu, you two come back for me. When the dream was set to dance, the two of them had long since disappeared.
"Light dance girl, let me introduce it officially, my name is Lin Chen, thank you for the girl's life-saving grace. β
"You also know that I saved you, and you repay me like this, you might as well throw you to the dog, oh no, to the wolf. β
"Huh?"
"Because of you, the dogs don't eat. β
Lin Chen was thundered by the eldest lady of the Meng family, how could the same face be so different from the whisper, Lin Chen decided to divert the topic.
"That light dancing girl, where is Whispering, I have something to do with her. β
"Hmph, before I got married, I started looking for my sister-in-law, what kind of heart do I have. β
"Forget it, can you help me. β
"Hmph, this is not married yet, so you want to call me. β
Lin Chen felt that the sky above his head was dark, but there was no way, the few methods he thought of required a lot of equipment, and if he couldn't find these tools, he couldn't do anything.
Seeing Lin Chen's embarrassed face, Meng Qingwu was a lot happier, "It's not impossible to help you, but I still need to practice dancing, and I'll talk about it when I'm done." β
"Practicing martial arts?" Lin Chen's heart was shocked, remembering the scene of the confrontation between the two brothers and seven or eight people yesterday, and he was immediately full of yearning for this dream family's martial arts.
"I can accompany you, and I will have some too. Lin Chen plans to exchange the Tai Chi taught by his teacher in physical education class, although he is really useless at all, but at this moment he is grateful in his heart that he has never skipped class in physical education class, and after graduation, he has practiced without a match, so as to satisfy his martial arts dream.
"Will you too?" said Dream Dance, surprised, "Okay, you come with me." β
Soon the two of them left the courtyard gate and came to a clearing, the environment was very elegant, but there were no sandbags and no wooden stakes.
"This is it. β
"In this way, you and I will each come for a while, and don't say that I am bullying you, I will come first. β
After that, without waiting for Lin Chen's consent, Meng Qingwu walked to the center of the venue and moved up.
"I'm going to dance, I thought I was practicing martial arts. Lin Chen felt that it was getting darker.
After dancing lightly, he turned to look at Lin Chen, "It's your turn, don't think about cheating, it's a puppy." β
Lin Chen couldn't pull his face after all, walked to the center of the venue, stroked his cuffs, and said in a straight voice: "The seventh set of broadcast gymnastics starts now, the first section, stretching exercises, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ......" After all, it has been too long, and I remember the movements clearly, so I just hula casually.
"Stop, stop, what are you, you're obviously cheating!"
"No, we all use this dance to strengthen our bodies. β
Although Lin Chen's movements were not very good, Meng Qingwu could see that Lin Chen should not be lying, this was not a temporary dance he had, "Okay, then let's do it again, don't dance this kind of dance again." "Anyway, the light dance is another dance, this time it is obviously different from just now, it is a lot more tactful, and Lin Chen can't help but praise it secretly.
"It's your turn. β
Lin Chen was busy greeting the little blind man's family in his heart at this time, "Others are martial arts cheats, beautiful women's incense cars, and a hanging system, and I, who was actually regarded as a monk, after stepping out of the room, danced awkwardly with my fake fiancΓ©e on a deserted hill, oh my God!"
"Jump! If you don't jump, you're a puppy!"
Suddenly, Lin Chen's mind moved, he thought of something, and twisted.
"It looks weird, but it seems to be funny. "The simple and repetitive footsteps are staggered, but they are very dynamic and rhythmic.
"What kind of dance is this?"
"Ghost step dance. β
"I want to learn, I want to learn. β
"Yes, but after teaching you, you have to promise me to do something for me. β
"No problem!"
So, Lin Chen, a dance layman, started a dance cram school.
"Sure enough, brothers!" Suddenly, several dark shadows jumped out from behind the woods, surrounding the pair of master and apprentice.
