Valentine Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Origin of Valenton

It turns out that the foal has lost the divine might of the horse's mane and can no longer scare the tiger. Yesterday morning, the foal was wounded by a tiger and dragged into the cave after a few rounds of fighting.

When the brothers saw the foal being dragged into the hole by the tiger, they ran home crying. When he told Zhang Laocai about the experience, Zhang Laocai felt strange.

Although there are mountains more than ten miles west of Yujia Town, most of the wild animals that come are wild boars and wild goats, and I have not heard of tigers for many years.

In order to find out the facts, Zhang Laocai took an iron shovel and an iron pickaxe, led his two sons and two grandsons, and went to the cave to check. I thought to myself: even if there is a tiger, I have to get it away, save my foal, even if it is a dead body, and get it home.

But when I got there, I saw that there were no tigers, not even foals. The six of them, father, son, grandfather and grandson looked carefully inside, but they couldn't even find a single livestock hair.

"You're weird, aren't you?" Zhang Laocai said curiously: "Even if a child sees the wrong eye and there is no tiger, the foal must be there!" Besides, my eldest grandson is eleven years old this year, and my youngest grandson is nine years old. The family is bored, no, I'm still looking for you! ”

Qi Xiaoting also felt strange: how big can an abandoned cave be, and it is impossible for a tiger to stay there for a long time!

"Let's go to the field and have a look!" Qi Xiaoting said.

The kiln yard is more than two miles away from Yujia Town, and it is a small brick kiln abandoned by Zhangjia. Due to its age, it looks like a large mound of dirt from a distance, and there is a lot of dirt in it.

Sure enough, not to mention that there was a tiger inside, there was not even a hoof print. The dead grass on the soil was still standing there in a daze.

"What's going on?" Qi Xiaoting's Long Yi in the sound transmission space.

"There's something strange here," said Long Yi, "let them dig the earth in the cave with a shovel and pickaxe, and then dig three feet down after digging out the bottom." ”

Qi Xiaoting hurriedly parroted: "You use an iron shovel and an iron pickaxe to dig the soil in the cave, and after digging out the bottom, dig down three feet to see if there is anything!" ”

Although the father and son of the Zhang family think it is fantastic, this is what the "half-immortal" said, and they can't believe it! The father and son took turns digging up.

Qi Xiaoting also felt incredible, but this was what Long Yi said, Long Yi was a divine beast, knowing the future blessings and misfortunes, and every time it worked, Qi Xiaoting only had to follow the implementation!

Qi Xiaoting also participated in the excavation, and took turns throwing soil from the cave with the Zhang family's father and son.

When the mud was removed from the top, and after digging down another three feet, there was still nothing.

"Dig down again!" Long Yi said in the space. Through Ah Mei, he can see everything outside.

"It can't be nothing!" Qi Xiaoting looked at the father and son who were looking at each other, and said unwillingly: "I'll dig down again, it's it, it's it, it's not it!" ”

Qi Xiaoting said, stepping on the shovel and digging hard-

"Click!"

The shovel slammed into the hard object with a crisp sound.

"There's something!"

The father and son of the Zhang family and Qi Xiaoting said almost at the same time. Everyone's nerves tensed.

In order to prevent the following objects from being destroyed, Qi Xiaoting did not dig with a shovel again, and cleared the soil layer by layer with the shovel head.

It didn't take much work, and a piece of tile appeared in the dirt.

"Ahem, tiles!" Zhang Zhenxing said dejectedly.

"This is originally a small kiln that burns bricks and tiles, so it's strange that you can't dig up tiles!" Zhang Zhencun also said.

"It's said to be so deep, there shouldn't be any more tiles, let's dig them out and take a look."

Qi Xiaoting cleared the width again, and picked up the tiles-

"Wow!"

"Yo ho!"

"Hey!"

"Oh!"

Everyone let out an exclamation......

Underneath the tiles was white silver and contained in a ceramic container that had just been covered by the tiles.

Zhang Zhenxing, who was closest to him, squatted down, picked up a few pieces on the edge of the container, and then reached into them.

"It's a small-caliber jar. The further down you go, the bigger your belly gets. Zhang Zhenxing said happily.

Everyone was elated.

In order to prevent the soil from falling into the silver, Qi Xiaoting put the tiles on it again and asked the Zhang Zhenxing brothers to dig around gently.

"Click!"

There was another crisp sound, and Zhang Zhenxing only felt that the tip of the shovel was struck by a hard object. With the tiles and silver here as a reference, he didn't dare to dig with a shovel, and he also learned from Qi Xiaoting's example, and flattened the shovel head layer by layer.

Half a bag of cigarettes, another tile appeared. When I lifted the tiles, I was even more shocked than before: under the tiles was yellow gold. Like silver, it is held in a ceramic container.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Zhang Laocai said happily.

Qi Xiaoting: "Uncle Zhang, all this gold and silver are all you usually give out, and now it's time for you to use them, and they're all back." The foal leads the way! ”

Zhang Laocai: "How do you say this?" ”

"Cultivators know that money is the most loyal, and whoever wins it with hard work will be loyal to him, and if he loses himself, he can come back; Love and hate are also the most distinct: if you give it out with kindness, it will go in a circle; If it is going to be abducted by the collapse, it will send a circle. In the end, it returned to its owner. Qi Xiaoting said eloquently.

"Hahaha, Master Qi, you are really good at talking. I hope so! In this way, the old man received it with peace of mind. Zhang Laocai smiled so much that his eyes became a slit.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and two potbelly jars about one meter high and seventy or eighty centimeters in diameter were dug out.

"There are words on the tile!" Long Yi said.

Qi Xiaoting pulled out a handful of withered grass, and after wiping the soil off the tiles, two lines of words appeared on each tile. One says "Wattle Peng, Embrace Pine"; One reads "North and South Street, Zhang Shixing". Looking at the back of the tiles, there is a raised lotus canopy painting.

Everyone took turns looking at it. Zhang Laocai held the tiles and said: "I don't know what this 'tile lotus peng, embrace pine' means, as for the 'North and South Streets, Zhang's Xing' on this piece, I understand it this way, this is the gods hinting: only by building the street into the north and south, can the surname Zhang prosper." Master Qi, do you think I understand? ”

Qi Xiaoting nodded: "I think so too!" ”

Zhang Zhenxing: "The houses in the town are dense and can't move. If you want to build the north and south streets, you can only rebuild the village, and design it as soon as it is designed to be north and south. We can't do that! ”

Zhang Laocai smiled: "What can I do!" Let's use this jar of gold and a jar of silver to buy land and build a house here, and build a north and south street! ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Yes! This is two miles away from the town of Yujia, can not be connected, you can also give this place another village name, just called 'Tile Pond', just in response to the words on the tiles. ”

Zhang Laocai nodded: "In this way, three of the four sentences on the tile have been fulfilled, but I don't know what this 'embrace loose' means?" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "This seems to be a sign. Let's take a look around. ”

So, a few people wandered around the cave.

"There it is." Qi Xiaoting shouted in surprise: "Come and see, there is an ancient locust tree here, and there is a small pine tree growing on the locust tree, just like being held by the locust tree." ”

It turned out that there was a tree hole in half of the ancient acacia, which was very deep. Zhang Laocai's grandson was playing with it, so he planted a small pine sapling in it. The small pine sapling actually came alive in the hollow of the tree and grew into a small pine tree more than a meter high. Because the pine tree grows in the hollow of the locust tree, it is like being held by the locust tree.

Seeing this, Zhang Laocai understood the meaning of "embracing pine" written on the tile. I couldn't help but ponder.

Zhang Zhenxing and Zhang Zhencun brothers, you look at me, I look at you, no one said a word.

After a while, Zhang Laocai suddenly said to Qi Xiaoting: "Master Qi, actually, I was joking just now. Now that these four sentences have been fulfilled, I am really a little tempted.

"For the sake of future generations, my ancestors built their house on a treasure land of feng shui. But they never expected that the Zhang family almost broke the roots of their offspring because of this. If you hadn't come this time, and you ran into Old Man Mei who was familiar with the situation, my family would have really ended.

"Now the old mansion is preserved, but I don't dare to move in. I know that as soon as the weather is warm, you have to leave, Boss Nagisa is gone, if there is another cow boss and sheep boss who rob the tomb, my old house will still not be saved, and even the lives of the whole family will be in it. Even if I can't catch up, my children and grandchildren, no matter which generation does, will be devastating.!

"Now that I know this, I don't want to bring trouble to my children and grandchildren. What is rich and noble, in this life, people can live the most down-to-earth life with ability. Peace alone is bliss.

"I thought about it just now, and God asked me to dig out this altar of gold and silver, and left four sentences on the tiles, which is to instruct me to build a new village here. You show me again, is it suitable or not? How to build it well? ”

Qi Xiaoting: "According to the words on the tiles, that's really what it means." He said and looked at the direction: "If you build a village here, build north and south streets in this place, take this bosom pine in the east as the session, and build a double lane in the west to the entrance of the cave."

"Then build houses on both sides of the road, and name them Walianpeng Village and Walianpeng Compound, so that they can match the four sentences on the tiles!"

"What do you two think?" Zhang Laocai asked his two sons again.

Zhang Zhenxing: "I think so. Leaving that murderous house, my heart is still steady. ”

Zhang Zhencun: "That's what I think about too. As long as the old house is there, it will be remembered, and maybe a generation will catch up. Now that you have this condition, why not stay away! ”

Zhang Laocai: "If you all think like this, let's settle down and buy land and build a house immediately." ”

He said to Qi Xiaoting again: "Master Qi, you give me an idea, what kind of public facilities should be built on my old homestead?" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "You don't sell? ”

Zhang Laocai shook his head: "Don't sell it!" Isn't there a famous saying: 'Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you?' I'm afraid that something will happen to the house and I will sell it, if something happens to the person who bought the house, how can I face all sentient beings!

"Now that I know the disadvantages of the house, I can't sell it. But just being idle there is not a solution, and without me to take care of it, maybe it will give the tomb robbers a chance.

"I want you to calculate for me what public facilities are most advantageous to build, so that the graves below can be protected from theft, and the feng shui above cannot be damaged; It is also beneficial to the neighbors around them, so that they can live there in peace.

"I'm doing this to make up for my mistakes. During this period of time, I was tormented and miserable, and the surrounding neighbors were frightened, and people did not dare to leave the door of the old courtyard! ”

Qi Xiaoting: "How much area do you plan to use to repair public facilities?" ”

Zhang Laocai: "I plan to use all the houses. I have a lot of houses there, and there is an east cross courtyard in the old courtyard, which you see, behind the old courtyard is the stable, and it is also a large row of houses. There is also a row of long-term houses behind the stables, and behind the long-term houses is the jujube forest, which is also my family. There are three houses in the west of the alley, and my two sons and I live in one of them. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "You have dedicated so many houses?" ”

Zhang Laocai: "I have one here, what else do I want to do over there?" As long as it can't destroy the feng shui there, and it's beneficial to the people, I won't leave any of them. ”

Qi Xiaoting thought for a while: "The place is so big, you can build a Dragon King Temple on it." Although the tomb robbers do things that lack morality and ruin prosperity and hurt nature and reason, they are also afraid of ghosts and gods, even more powerful than ordinary people, and they dare not destroy ordinary temples.

"There is another advantage of building the Dragon King Temple: the Dragon King is the god of ancient times, who can go to the sky and the sea, call the wind and rain, and be the head of the spirit beasts. After the temple is built, whenever there is a wind and rain disorder, a long drought and no rain, or a long rain does not stop, you can go to the temple to burn incense and pray to the dragon king, in order to ask the dragon king to control the water and achieve smooth wind and rain.

"If the mountain has a fairy, it is famous, and if the water has a dragon, it is spiritual. In history, the Dragon King Temple is a place where the government and the people pray for rain in times of drought, and until now, the incense of the Dragon King Temple in other places is still very prosperous. ”

Zhang Laocai nodded: "I know this." Ten miles away from us, there is a dragon king temple, and we went there to pray for rain a few years ago. It would be great if the old house could be built there! ”

Qi Xiaoting: "It can be built!" You have a big place there, and you are near the north of the village. As the old saying goes, 'I'd rather live in front of the temple than behind the temple', after the completion of the Dragon King Temple, all the residents are in front, and they can't overcome it at all. It can also hold underground graves. ”

Zhang Laocai: "If that's the case, let's settle down: when I finish building the house here, repair the north and south streets, and the family moves over, I will use the remaining money to demolish the house over there and build a Dragon King Temple." ”

The book implied: Zhang Laocai did what he said, and after the beginning of spring, he used the gold and silver dug out of the cave to build houses and build north and south streets there. Since he was the only one at the time, he called his house the Valenpong Compound.

After the house was built and the family moved in, a dragon king temple was built in the courtyard of the old house. Whenever the wind and rain are out of balance, there is no rain for a long time, or when the rain does not stop for a long time, the people have to go to the Dragon King Temple to burn incense and pray, all of which are effective. The incense is in full bloom.

After Zhang Laocai lived in the Walianpeng compound, he dug out a jar of gold and a jar of silver from the cave, and the tiles that covered the jar had four sentences written on it, and it spread in Yujia Town. When the villagers surnamed Zhang heard about it, they thought it was a good omen, and they also bought land and built houses on Nanbei Street.

Within a few years, a village was formed. Because there are three words on the tiles, Zhang Laocai's house is also called "Tile Lotus Peng Compound", people are Tujili, and the other is to commemorate the fact that Zhang Laocai dug up the tiles and built the village, and the name of the village was named Walianpeng, which has continued. It is said that this name is still used until now! (End of Volume III)
