Chapter 16: The Moon in the Well
Yang Mo's old residence is located in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, next to a Han Dynasty emperor's mausoleum, in a cultural reserve.
The reserve is planted with a large number of trees, and the environment is very good, and there are no people living in it except for his old house.
After getting out of the taxi, he came to a dense wooded area, and walked ten minutes inside to where the old mansion was.
When he came to this protected area, he obviously felt that the air quality was much better, and the feeling of dirt and discomfort was much lighter.
However, although this forest can play a small role, it cannot reverse the pollution of the whole world.
Walking into a three-person wide path in the woods, Yang Mo saw that the sky was dark, and there was not even a figure around, so he simply began to practice the Golden Goose Gong.
He jumped up with a low shout, and jumped up in the woods, hurrying in the direction of the ancient mansion.
I saw him take several steps in the mid-empty void from time to time, or step on the trunks of trees on both sides to refract forward, his body was fast, like a ghost.
If this situation is seen by ordinary people, they must think that they have encountered a ghost at night.
Relying on Jin Yangong, he was supposed to walk for ten minutes, but he finished it in less than five minutes.
In fact, he was too playful on the road, and tried Jin Yangong's various steps, otherwise he could be faster.
When he came to the gate of the old mansion, Yang Mo saw that the iron lock on the wooden door had traces of being picked, and he didn't know if it was a thief or the Lu family.
He opened the lock but found that the keyhole was plugged with something, so he simply spit out the internal force and pinched the lock.
In the past, this old mansion was rarely taken care of because of the rumors of being haunted, but now the people of the Lu family are busy competing for the family property, not only is the house unmanaged, but even the precious furniture inside has been taken away as an inheritance.
There was no one to maintain it, and the flowers and trees planted in the front and back yards of the old house were not cared for, and they were all surrounded by weeds.
When I returned to the bedroom, I saw that no one had come in here, and the mobile phone was there, and there were several missed calls on it, except for Jiang Shuya's, all of them were from the Lu family.
Trying to turn on the light, but finding that there was no electricity at all, he went out to take a look and found that someone had cut the wire.
Under the dark, he couldn't fix it, so he could only act in the dark, but fortunately, his internal strength was just peeking into the doorway, and he could see things in the dark.
Taking off the Taoist robe on his body and lying in the dark room, he found with some sadness that even if he came back from learning a martial art, it seemed that he could not solve the problem he was facing.
The first is his extremely vicious and greedy Lu family.
In the face of these people, I'm afraid what he can do is to use martial arts to beat away those gangsters, and then, he can't come to the door with a sword and kill the Lu family.
This world is not a martial arts world of happiness and revenge, with a civilized society and a sound legal system.
If he dares to kill, all kinds of high-tech means are enough to make Yang Mo have nothing to hide, unless he is willing to hide in the mountains as a savage, otherwise with his current little martial arts, in the face of all kinds of hot weapons, he will struggle for a while more than ordinary people.
In addition to this problem, the most important thing at the moment is money, but now it is the end of August, and the tuition fee has not yet been settled in a few days.
When his mother was leaving, the last thing he couldn't let go of was that he didn't graduate from college, so for his mother's last wish, he had to finish college.
Before, he was originally an English teacher in a training class, and he could make some money, but after Lu Zhanrong's death, he was also taken advantage of by the Lu family to stir up the yellow.
Thinking that he had a body of martial arts, after thinking about it again and again, he found that in this world, he couldn't find any way to make money.
Like written in the novel, go find a martial arts gym to be a martial artist? Don't talk about it, now go around the city, how can there be young people who are willing to learn martial arts, there are no martial arts halls or anything, but there are a bunch of taekwondo halls.
Maybe some high-end fitness institution will invite the master of the town, but with his status, he can't touch that level at all.
What else is there to make money by playing black boxing, although he has heard all kinds of rumors, but in fact, he can't even find the door.
can only blame him for being just an ordinary college student, and he can't touch many things.
Of course, if he is willing to bend his back, let the Lu family drive like a pug, give up his dignity, and then return this old mansion to others, then the Lu family will probably give Yang Mo some small profits for the sake of face.
But whoever made him have hard bones, couldn't bend down, and couldn't get used to the ugly faces of those people.
Some cranky thinking made Yang Mo a little big, so he simply didn't think about it, taking one step at a time, as the so-called lane must have a road in front of the mountain, and the water is naturally straight to the bridge, so it is really not possible to handle the suspension of school first, and just continue to read it after getting the money.
At this time, it suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't gone to the ancient well to see it after he came back, so he got up and walked towards the backyard.
Along a short wooden corridor, Yang Mo came to the backyard.
At the end of the cloister, there is a pavilion, the pavilion is made of wood, paved with green tiles, and the eaves and arches are very exquisite, and it looks a little old.
In order to protect the structure of the pavilion, there are steel bars reinforced in the position of the wooden mortise and tenon of the pavilion, and there are four flower reliefs of plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum on the railing around the pavilion.
There are four stone benches of a stone machine in the pavilion, below the eaves corner, each eaves corner is also hung with bronze bells, blown by the evening breeze, tinkling crisp sound, indescribably pleasant.
Next to the pavilion, there is a crystal clear pool, and you can see that the bottom of the pool is paved with pebbles, and the flowers and trees planted around the pool have a unique artistic conception.
If you sit in this pavilion, blowing the breeze, smelling the fragrance of flowers, sipping a cup of tea, reading a few volumes of golden scriptures, and staying away from the city, you really look like an outsider.
I have to say that this ancient mansion is indeed a treasure, and it is no wonder that the people of the Lu family want to take it back.
Walking out of the pavilion Yang Mo came to the southeast corner of the backyard, the ancient well is here, the wellhead of the ancient well is made of bluestone, to the height of Yang Mo's leg bend, there is a wooden reel on the wellhead, but it is just a decoration, it is useless at all.
But this is not something he wants to study, he wants to see what magical places this ancient well has, and it can actually allow him to cross into the bubbles of the martial arts world.
But he looked up and down around the ancient well, inside and out, for a while, but he didn't find that there was nothing unusual about this ancient well, it was very ordinary.
But thinking of what happened to him in the other world before, and feeling the internal force surging in his body, what happened to him couldn't be faked.
Yang Mo, who couldn't figure it out, looked up at the sky and sighed, feeling that he couldn't find the clue of this ancient well.
But the moment he saw the moon in the sky, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly came to the well and looked down, and found that there was also a moon on the water surface under the well.
But the strange thing is that according to the principle of light and shadow reflection, he should not be able to see the moon in the sky at his current angle.
And he also found that the moon above his head was obviously half-circled, but the well was only a waning moon.
After the strange appearance of the moon's reflection, he thought to himself that the moon that appeared in the well must have something to do with his crossing, and now he can't see anything for a while, and he needs to observe for a long time.
Before dawn the next day, Yang Mo got up early and sat in the pavilion to practice internal strength.
Just waiting for the turn of day and night, when yin and yang are in power, he runs the Qingning Mind Method, and performs Xiao Zhoutian, so that he has been accustomed to cultivating internal strength in this way.
Taoist internal strength cultivation is not urgent, and the emphasis is on gradual progress, not panic or boredom, and it is not that you can make progress by blindly practicing for a long time, which is counterproductive.
However, the Taoist internal strength seems to be progressing slowly, but it has infinite potential, and what is valued is the change of mood, as well as the comprehension of the truth of heaven and earth.
Sometimes once enlightened, it is worth years of penance for others, and several breakthroughs in Yang Mo's internal strength are accompanied by a momentary indescribable understanding.
Moreover, there is no other way to achieve Taoist internal strength in self-cultivation, and cultivators often live a long life, their faces are permanent, and they still look like young people when they are middle-aged.
After completing the cultivation of internal strength, Yang Mo warmed up with a set of Black Tiger Fists, ready to start practicing the Quanzhen Sword Technique.
But at this moment, he heard a mobile phone ringing from the bedroom, and when he returned to the bedroom, it showed that it was Jiang Shuya's name.
"Yang Mo, hurry up and turn on the computer, the video of you defeating Muller yesterday has been uploaded to the Internet, and the comments say that you are so powerful, you are now a little Internet celebrity, and everyone says that you are the most powerful Taoist priest in the COS circle."
Jiang Shuya said several words, especially the last sentence, the most powerful Taoist priest in the COS circle, what kind of strange adjective is this.
But it's a pity that not only does he have no Internet or computer here, but now he doesn't even have electricity.
"I can't connect to the Internet at home, and I don't have a mobile phone."
Hearing Yang Mo's answer, Jiang Shuya was surprised: "What! You can't get on the Internet, what age are you, and you live in the mountains? ”
"It's not in the mountains, but it's pretty much the same." Yang Mo looked at the lush woods around the ancient mansion and replied very sincerely.
"Oh my God, if you can't get on, I called, just to tell you that many manufacturers see your video and want to invite you to participate in commercial performances."
"Do you have any money?" Yang Mo, who was short of money, was very direct.
"Yes, definitely more than yesterday, you are now the pillar of our regiment." Jiang Shuya said excitedly.
Hearing that there was money to take, Yang Mo threw the festival aside, and agreed without saying a word, completely forgetting that he said yesterday that he would no longer play cosplay.
Because there was an activity at noon, he couldn't practice this swordsmanship, so he changed his clothes and rushed to the city.
When he went out, he stuck the door with a latch from the inside, then jumped against the wall, jumped directly over the anti-theft grid on the wall, and fell outside the wall.
Before leaving, he still felt unsafe, so he found a wire, wrapped it around the two door knockers, and twisted it like a twist.
However, he left in a hurry, and he didn't realize that just after he left, a group of gangsters came to the outside of the old mansion and slammed the door.
"What kind of shooting, you repair it, I didn't see that this door is tied with wire, that kid is definitely not in it." A man who looked like a small boss said loudly.
One younger brother asked, "Big brother, what should we do then?" ”
The leader said: "The monk can't hide from the temple, this time withdraw first, and come back next time." ”
