Chapter 158: Paddy Field Dragon's Lair
"Miss,"
Just when I was at a loss, the maid on the side spoke: "Who said that we don't have rice fields in the Nether Realm, I know a person, he has been guarding a rice field in our Nether Realm. He didn't know that he had died and had become a bardo body, and he thought that the rice field he was guarding now was the one in the world. ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she was overjoyed: "There is such a thing? Take us there. ”
The maid was ordered, and hurriedly helped the eldest lady out of the door, and when she reached the door, she looked back at me again, pointed at them, and said, "What are you doing there with a wooden pestle?" Still not ready to keep up? ”
I hurriedly gave Jiang Sichen a color, and asked Jiang Sichen to take a good look at Xie Sifei's flowers and butterflies, as well as Ao Ning Aoyu, don't let them get lost.
Jiang Sichen and I seemed to have a heart, and I understood what I wanted to say with a look, and stood at the end of the line quietly.
Only when he walks to the back can he ensure that the first few people are foolproof.
As soon as I saw that Jiang Sichen had become the rear security, I was relieved, turned around and strode to keep up with the eldest lady, and after walking a few steps, I heard the thing that became Ao Yu's grandmother say: "Old man, now that they have a chance to go back, you can stay here with me and live here with peace of mind, right?" ”
Although I didn't hear what Grandpa Ao Yu said, but after a while, the courtyard behind him resounded with the laughter and laughter when they came, and from time to time there were children's fights and the sound of brothers and sisters shouting at each other.
Instead of going back and facing the pain, it is better to indulge in sweet dreams.
Along the way, the eldest lady also inquired about my family background: "Xiao Shouyi, I just heard you say that your feng shui skills are inherited?" ”
"Yes."
I didn't hide it, saying, "It was taught by my master." ”
The eldest lady seemed particularly interested in the source of my feng shui technique: "Oh? Your Master? I don't know who my name is? Are you still alive now? ”
As soon as I heard this, I told the truth: "Master is the Taoist head of Qingcheng Mountain, Xiao Baoyuan, and he is still alive. ”
The eldest lady was immediately overjoyed: "It's him?!" ”
My expression on the eldest lady is very strange, could it be that she still knows the old man?
"Xiao Shouyi,"
At this time, I saw her muttering for a while, and said, "If you can help me deal with the carp matter in a while, for your master's sake, maybe I can give you a big gift." ”
I didn't react for a while: "What? ”
The eldest lady smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when the matter is done." ”
"But I have to warn you first, you are not allowed to reveal the location of the Netherworld when you return."
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she pointed to the direction of the train station in the distance: "You see, the bardo realm is different from the underworld. The underworld is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter, but this is a place where you can come and go as you want, and those bardo bodies can't leave because of obsession. But others, like you, can go whenever they want. Since ancient times, no one knows where the bardo realm is, and although I don't know how you got here, it's clear that this is still a place to come and go freely, and once the bardo realm is revealed, won't this place become a tourist attraction? ”
"Okay."
I said, "I understand, this place is like the Peach Blossom Spring, although it is not as memorable as the Peach Blossom Garden recorded in the book, but many people want to find it, I just keep it a secret." ”
The eldest lady nodded.
As she spoke, the maid pointed to the front: "Miss, it's time to get there." ”
When the two of them heard this, they looked forward with the maid's hand.
Sure enough, a vast and boundless rice field looks like there are seventy or eighty hectares, and all of them are paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. The tender green of the seedlings stretches in the spring breeze, covering the sky and the water and green as far as the eye can see, which is very comfortable.
On the rice field, there is a scarecrow like a rain doll stuck in every other piece.
The doll has red hair and ghost makeup painted in ink.
Originally, I wanted to scare away small birds or herons and cranes parked in the paddy fields, but as soon as the wind blew, the hems of hundreds of dolls' clothes swayed, startling the pedestrians on the road by the paddy fields.
An old man was holding a spotted bamboo pole nesting under the hemp willow tree on the edge of the paddy field, and when he saw the pedestrians frightened, he smiled, and seemed to enjoy the pranks of others.
He was still holding a long and thin bamboo pole in his hand, and a strip of cloth was hung on the head of the bamboo pole like a fishing line.
After a while, a few white-haired ducks got up from the paddy field at the other end of the road, and went up to the old man's paddy field with a swagger, ignoring the old man under the willow tree, and pounced on the old man's paddy field one after another, and was about to swim happily.
When the old man saw it, he kept waving the bamboo pole in his hand.
The bamboo poles were very long and had strips of cloth, and the ducks that were chasing me, you chased me, I chased you, and went straight to other fields.
After this effort, the old man was already sweating profusely.
I don't know what's going on, this old man is not fat, strictly speaking, he has a yellow face and thin muscles, but he has a fat belly, which looks like a thin man is pregnant, which is very interesting.
It was precisely because of this big belly that the old man had a hard time catching up the ducks, and he was already sweating profusely after a few movements, leaning on the hemp willow tree and panting.
While panting, he reached out and touched his Baikan shoulder: "You little bastards, you want to destroy my feng shui treasure, but there is no door." ”
After speaking, he took a few breaths and said: "I, Wang Changfu, bought the right to use the six or seven fields in this river ditch, and I get up early every day and guard it in the dark, can I still let you, a few dead ducks, spoil it?" ”
Looking at the white buttocks of the ducks leaving, the old man's face was satisfied.
"What's the situation?"
I looked at the old man's face, his eyebrows were locked, and he looked worried, and when I heard what he said, I suddenly understood: "I said that how can this rice field still be obsessed?" It turned out that it was not an obsession with rice fields, but an obsession with a treasure of feng shui. ”
The eldest lady nodded: "I just can't see what feng shui there is in a rice field?" ”
The eldest lady naturally wanted me, a professional, to come out and explain.
But I shook my head: "I'm sorry, because this bardo realm is not only the bardo body, but even the surrounding scenes are also transformed by their obsessions." This rice field is no exception, it seems that this old man does not know feng shui, although he said that feng shui treasure, in fact, he did not leave any knowledge of feng shui, but I don't know where to know that the feng shui of the rice field is good, so he wrapped up a whole rice field. ”
After I finished speaking, I pulled the sleeve of the eldest lady's maid again: "Hey! You brought us here, do you know why the old man is guarding this rice field, and even thinking about it even after becoming a bardo body? ”
When the maid heard this, she was eccentric: "Well, you really asked the right person." ”
The maid said, "Usually I don't serve the eldest lady, but when I have time, I will come here for a walk, and I often meet the old man chasing ducks under the willow tree, and I will occasionally talk to him." ”
Don't look at this understatement and talk about a few words, but talk about the key to the problem.
Why does this old man stand guard on the edge of the rice field every day with a spotted bamboo pole? So that's what happened.
The old man was a farmer before his death, and he lived a life of sunrise and sunset since he was a child, and he stayed in the countryside from his youth to old age, working hard all his life, and his son was not very productive, and he worked in the countryside with him.
The father and son contracted some paddy fields, which are the ones you see in front of you now, but there were not so many at that time.
When planting rice in the paddy field, the old man got up early every day and was greedy for darkness, and he got up before five o'clock before dawn every day, and pulled the seedlings in the seedling field to plant seedlings in the paddy field.
One day, when the old man came to plant rice as usual, he suddenly noticed something terrible.
I saw that in the middle of the field, which was as flat as mirrored water, I don't know which farmland it was, a purple gas faintly rose, and it shrouded the sky over the paddy field like a piece of purple smoke.
This purple gas only looks at it from afar, and it is gone up close.
By the time the sun rose in the morning, the purple qi was completely gone.
After that, the old man got up early every day and was greedy for darkness, except for farming just to see the purple gas, he also found that the purple gas appeared every day, but no one found it except him.
Because no one in the village got up earlier than him.
The old man didn't understand what was going on, but he was curious.
One day, a feng shui master came to the village, saying that he came out to accumulate merits, and he could give people free fortune telling and feng shui, and he didn't take a penny.
When the old man saw it, he took the feng shui master to the rice field to see.
As soon as the feng shui master went, he looked at the rice field again and again, and he didn't know if he saw the reason or not, so he only told the old man that this rice field was a treasure land of feng shui, and what was bred in it was a spiritual thing that came from heaven and earth.
According to Feng Shui masters, most of the spirits were dragons.
When the dragon is gone, this place will be useless.
It is necessary to make the best use of this paddy field while the dragon is still there.
The old man asked what was the use.
Feng Shui masters say that paddy fields are also land, and of course they are used to bury people.
The old man was shocked when he heard this, and said Don't bluff me, although I don't know what feng shui fame and fortune are, I also know that paddy fields can't be used as a yin house to bury the dead, otherwise the undead will be put in a water prison.
The feng shui master said: "It is another paddy field, there is a dragon in this place, and the dragon's cultivation here is the dragon's den. ”
The old man was right when he heard it.
The feng shui master also said that if anyone accidentally buries it here in the future, then his descendants will make a lot of money.
After saying that, he left.
When he left, the old man was not calm.
Listening to the feng shui master say that the paddy field is miraculous, what is it called the dragon's den, if he is buried in the dragon's lair after death, then the descendants will not be famous?
If nothing else, at least you can get rid of your rural background, right?
It just so happened that at that time, everyone wanted to go out to work, and no one wanted to go back to the countryside to farm. I'd rather rent a low and dilapidated garbage house in the county than live in three large tiled houses in the countryside.
Because, living here means doing farm work.
There is a traditional inertia in people's bones, and they are all proud of being pampered and ashamed of their labor. No one wants to stay in the countryside anymore, so the farmland is naturally idle.
Wang Changfu saw it and immediately had an idea.
He took over all the idle fields of others, saying that they were idle and idle, so it was better to rent them to himself to grow rice and collect some rent.
As soon as others thought about it, they rented this large piece to him.
The reason why he rented these paddy fields was just to guard the dragon's lair and not let it be occupied by others. Because once the paddy fields are idle, they may dry up.
When it dries up, won't it become dry land?
If it becomes dry land, won't it be able to bury people?
If he is accidentally taken by others, this Wang Changfu will regret it for the rest of his life. That's why he took a spotted bamboo pole and watched it every day under the hemp willow tree opposite the paddy field.
But it is obvious that Wang Changfu was not buried in this place in the end.
Otherwise, he would not have been exiled to the Netherworld because of his obsession with this dragon's lair, unable to extricate himself.
So what's going on?
