In Chaoshan City, it is divided into five levels: city, district, town, village, and township, so in Zhangjia Village, there are three subordinate townships, which are said to be townships, but they are only separated by a small ditch.

Of course, it is impossible to talk about crossing the line or not crossing the line, because the people of these three villages are all surnamed Zhang, and their ancestors have lived here for generations, and everyone who goes to the mountain to worship is an ancestor, not to mention that everyone usually marries a daughter, and it is even more common for everyone to marry a daughter. (Don't think it's a shame to be rich, if you had no money and were dying of starvation in those days, you could at least have enough to eat.) ）

Therefore, when I heard that Zhang Laoshi's daughter-in-law had died and his son had disappeared for no reason, the news was quickly spread throughout Zhangjia Village by the river by the women who broke their mouths through the beating of washing clothes.

For a while, the people of Zhangjia Village were panicked, and some people said that the son of Zhang Laoshi's family was bitten away by the lion dog (the meaning of wolf in the dialect) on the mountain, and someone immediately retorted that what era is it now, not to mention the lion dog, there may not even be a shadow of pheasant on the mountain.

Some people also say that Zhang's honest daughter-in-law was scared to death by the mountain ghost, and her son was also eaten by the mountain ghost.

And Zhang Laoshi, who is on the cusp of the storm, has also become a man of the hour on the streets and alleys, if it is not in this mountain village ditch now, but in the capital, it may be in the news, but no one really cares about the life and death of Zhang's daughter-in-law and the disappearance of Zhang's son, everyone regards it as an interesting thing to talk about, and it has solved the poor joy of life of rural people.

What followed was a news that the mayor was going to close the mountain? This is indeed a more serious matter than the death and disappearance of Zhang Laoshi's daughter-in-law and son for no reason.

Because usually everyone has nothing to do in the field, planting melons, fruits and vegetables, etc., you can barely survive, and then take a woodcutter to the mountains to chop some firewood and take it to the town to buy, and the days are like this.

But the mayor of the town who suffered a thousand knives is coming to close the mountain, isn't this to force the people to rebel, why are the people afraid of death if they are not afraid of death?

But there was indeed an even more shocking news that each family could get a thousand yuan, and the peasants immediately smiled, eager to sell their sons and daughters to get a few hundred yuan more, in the hope of having a chance to go out and wander, after all, I heard that the development outside has been very fast, and it may only be in this mountainous place that poverty is so.

Just like in the previous agricultural era, there was no concept of family and country, foreign enemies invaded or not, the people at the bottom didn't care if you rebelled, in the end, whoever was in power was not still paying the emperor's grain and national taxes, and even some people used the current saying that they were traitors, and they could be seen everywhere when they led the way for the enemy, and in the eyes of the people at that time, it was only a matter of your scholars and the emperor, and the country was just your emperor's own private property, and it was not a matter of for us at the bottom of the people, and in the end it was not exploited by you ruling class, So now there are actual benefits to take, who cares what you do about the closure of the mountain, and even some villagers automatically make up for the closure of the mountain because of the matter of Zhang Laoshi's family, after all, people are looking for a cause and effect, just like if you are injured today, it is not to blame for hurting your things, or to blame for not looking at the yellow calendar when you go out today, it's so simple.

The town government also came out at the right time to speak, saying that an unknown beast had appeared on the mountain, and now it is organizing people to clean it up, after all, the matter is big, and it has alarmed the high-level government, and it will also lose the black yarn hat. This also confirms the claim that there are ghosts on the mountain.

But at this time, Zhang Ming, who caused all this, didn't hear a word, because he was now starting to cultivate.

Speaking of cultivation, it may be a little complicated, go to Du Niang to check it can make me water for hundreds of chapters, in the end, you may not understand, in fact, now I don't understand it, so I didn't update it last night when I wanted to break my head, and it gave me a headache, and I fell asleep directly after work, so today I will narrate it in words that you can understand, and make up for yesterday's chapters.

When we put aside those mysterious words, in fact, the final result of cultivation is nothing more than throwing away external objects and seeking liberation from the mind, just like peeling an egg. Buddhists say that everyone has Buddha nature and can become a Buddha. Taoism abandons love and desires, and finally seeks the true self.

You may not understand what it means, for example, you will understand: one day the disciple of the famous Ming Dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming caught a thief, and then Wang Yangming rushed up and told people a bunch of truths to conscience, the thief said I am a thief, how can I have any conscience? Wang Yangming said yes, I'll show you, you see it's so hot, take off your shirt, and the thief will take it off. It's so hot that you take off your pants and take them off. It's so hot, you rip off your pants too. Pants picked up too? Are so many people embarrassed? Shame! Wang Yangming said, this is your conscience! You're shy! This is the seed of the sage in your heart! Go home and be a good person, practice well, and become a sage in the future. It is true that cultivation is to seek the purity of the mind and the liberation of oneself, a truth.

A faint light of heaven came from the east.

Suddenly, a hazy purple qi came out of the sky and shot straight into a remote stone crevice.

In the crack, a whitewashed eight or nine-year-old child sits in a crack in the stone that can only accommodate two or three people, wearing clothes that do not match his own.

The little boy has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his body is flawless, and he is like a drop of water placed on the lotus leaf, and he seems to be separated from the lotus leaf to transcend the red dust, and the red dust and lotus leaf are entangled.

The little boy sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, his hands firmly imprinted under the umbilicus, motionless as if he were a stubborn stone.

Suddenly, a faint white light shone on his body, and a wisp of purple qi came straight down.

The little boy Qiong inhaled the purple breath into his nose as if eating instant noodles, and escaped rape like a cheating lover, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

After sitting for about two hours, the little boy finally opened his eyes, and his eyes were shining, and he was slightly excited like an old pervert.

This person is Zhang Ming, who has only been on the mountain for two days.

Why is Zhang Ming so excited, could it be that he still caught a beautiful snake here and stroked it early, but no.

"I didn't expect that the sun in this sky actually has the fire of the Golden Crow: the essence of the great sun, I originally thought that this planet did not have any aura, it should be that the Dao law is not obvious, and the period of the end of the law, I didn't expect that there would be the essence of the great sun that specially bred the immortal god."

Thinking about it slightly, Zhang Ming was extremely excited, and his face was full of red light, as if he had become an emperor from a clay leg.

But then his brows furrowed again, as if an uninformed mountain man was curious about a steamed bun and had many questions.
