Chapter 19 The second day of the second month of February The dragon raises its head

In other words, the prawn Wu Youdao finished the night shift, no, after robbing Li Crooked Mouth, he returned to the rented courtyard before dawn. She was extremely cautious and didn't consult anyone. The so-called secret, a person knows that it is called a secret, as for the reason? Need a reason? All this was done without knowing it, and the ghost was unaware, and naturally there was no aftermath.

Although I slept for more than an hour after returning to the small courtyard, I still went to Huaiqing Medicine House in good spirits after getting up in the morning to practice boxing, so that it would not arouse suspicion!

Since this trip to the business has gained a lot, just wait for the limelight to pass, and you can go and redeem these silver checks or something, so naturally you can continue to maintain his identity as an overseas Chinese businessman, a young man with a lot of gold, and continue to cosplay Ya's brother Gongming!

The big smoke house has been in my Daqing Dynasty a lot, as for why Li Crooked Mouth chose to start in the first place, the reason is very simple, because Li Crooked Mouth is the bad friend of his senior brother and brother, and he was the one who pulled people into the water in the first place. Of course, a few years ago, he was not the owner of the big tobacco house, and at that time he was crooked, and the big smoke house belonged to his father, and then his father hung up and naturally inherited it from him. So Wu Youdao did this, at least in his own opinion, it can be regarded as a report and a report.

As for why he finally let go of the scum Li Crooked Mouth and didn't kill him, the main reason is that Wu Youdao has never killed anyone yet, and he can't do it for a while. But Li's crooked mouth is really heinous, what should he do? In the end, she had to make her into a human body art model and tie it to a tree. Although spring is now in the spring, this is the north, and the temperature at night in early spring is enough to make Li Crooked Mouth sour and unlimited.

No, on the morning of a day after the incident, when Wu Youdao came to a noodle restaurant for breakfast, he overheard such a gossip: Li Crooked, the owner of Li Jihao's big tobacco restaurant, was robbed by a green forest hero when he stayed overnight at the eighth aunt of the outer house.

Fortunately, this green forest hero is not one of the four silver shrimps in the south of the Yangtze River, and the eighth aunt has kept his name (of course, in response to this, many people who eat melons are suspicious, and it is also rumored that this green forest hero is a small silver dragon Zhou Butong is also, and he once fought with the eighth aunt for 300 rounds without winning or losing, so he saved Li Crooked's mouth! According to this version, Guo Dacang, the famous street sweeper king of Jinmen, also sorted out the vernacular version of "Evil Desire Robbery" according to this version, and divided it into eight episodes and opened a special session in Wudexuan, which can be described as an empty alley for thousands of people, and it is very prosperous! But Li crooked his mouth and did a lot of evil, and it was also retribution, and he was tied to the tree in the courtyard by the green forest hero, and it was not until the next person woke up that he was rescued.

However, as a result, he also fell ill, his body bones were frozen, and he became the second emperor of Emperor Gaozong of the Great Dynasty, and there was no queen. This time the aunt's wife is also hopeless.

Hearing these news, Wu Youdao can be regarded as having a clear idea, just like eating ice water in June, how can the word 'cool' be so good!

In the days after this incident, Wu Youdao maintained a consistent low-key style, practicing boxing every day, bragging and drinking with his brothers and sisters, living a happy life, and his boxing cultivation was also thriving.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year came out. The wild geese return to the north, everything recovers, and spring is really coming.

On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head.

This day is a very important day in Chinese folklore, and the saying that the dragon raises its head comes from ancient astronomy.

According to the lunar calendar, the second day of February every year is between the sting and the spring equinox, and the horn of the dragon (the first star of the horn and the two stars of the horn) appeared from the eastern horizon, at this time the whole body of the dragon is still hidden below the horizon, but the first appearance of the horn, so it is called "the dragon raises its head". The dragon's head raises its head refers to the looming change of the stars of the Seven Houses of the Canglong in the sky, not that there is really an animal dragon in the transformation.

In this season, the agricultural civilization recovers, and the dragon begins to move, indicating that the year's agricultural activities are about to begin. In the north, the second day of February is also called the Dragon Raising Day, also known as the Spring Dragon Festival. In the south, it is called the Qingqing Festival, and in ancient times, it was called the Picky Vegetable Festival. It entrusts people's simple wishes for spring sowing and autumn harvest.

According to the Confucian doctrine of celestial induction, from the hexagram of the Book of Changes, this festival is exactly the second hexagram of the Qian, the original text of the Qiangua: Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen. What is it? Dry is the sky, and the sky is the root element of the creation of all things, which is smooth and upright. Masculine and unrelenting.

The sky is changing, so 'Tianxingjian' is also the original meaning of the word 'Yi' in the Book of Changes, change! The only constant in the world is change. From Taoism, it is nothing more than the transformation of yin and yang, just as the yin and yang fish are constantly moving to form Tai Chi.

The hexagram of Qianqian talks about the six laws of change of things, and the changes in time and personnel are naturally here. So, what is the second hexagram of Qian? Ninety-two: See the dragon in the field, and see the lord. It means that the dragon has appeared on the field, which is conducive to the talented and virtuous "adults" to show up and get ahead. So on this day, it is also a good day for business to open and go out to study and seek wealth.

Of course, why is it the second day of February, not the first or third day of the second month? This has something to do with the folklore preference for even numbers.

In ancient times, especially in the Qin and Han dynasties and before, all "heavy days" such as January 1, February 2, and March 3 were mostly considered to be days of sympathy between heaven and earth, and communication between heaven and man.

Coincidentally, there is no book, Wu Youdao's children's shoes just happened to be the same as this changing time, ending the first hexagram of the first hexagram of the first hexagram of the ninth month: the state of not using the hidden dragon. If you want to go further, in addition to water grinding kung fu, you need to end the dormancy as this day and move with the times.

In the past, every year in order to get a good fortune, Huaiqing Pharmacy would conform to the time of the day, move with the times, and choose to set off on this day.

Of course, it is not peaceful to go out of the house in these years, so you also need a master to accompany you. In the past few years, in addition to the dart master of the dart game, there were also Chen Zhen or Huo Yuanjia accompanying him. At the beginning of this year, in order to carry forward Huo Jiaquan, Huo Yuanjia recruited several disciples one after another, which was the key time for enlightenment, after all, not everyone was a coercive! Therefore, Chen Zhen was accompanied by the dart master of the Huiyou Dart Bureau. The difference is that there is one more Wu Youdao this year.

On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head.

Chen Zhen, Wu Youdao and his entourage came to Tianjin Railway Station under the farewell of Huo Yuanjia, Nong Jinsun and others. On the road, pay attention to safety and take care of the farewell, they stepped on the southbound train and started the journey of purchasing medicinal herbs. From here, they will arrive in Zhengzhou, and from there they will start trekking to the mountainous areas of the southwestern provinces to buy medicinal herbs, a total of thousands of miles back and forth, and it will take several months to buy medicinal herbs on the way.

Woo...... Woo...... Bang...... Bang......

In a whistle and the sound of wheels, the train started. The train in this era is noisy and slow, Wu Youdao will not be as curious as the ordinary natives at this time, and Chen Zhen and the others have also been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, so naturally they will not make a fuss and make any jokes. Of course, I didn't encounter any rich and handsome people with IQ arrears who came out and pretended to be slapped in the face, and in the end, they were upgraded to fight monsters and explode equipment and other bloody plots, after all, this is the real world, so it's good!

On the train, at most, I just saw the routines of this era, 'cheating, cheating, stealing'. Wu Youdao, Chen Zhen and others are all old birds who have been tested by alcohol, and naturally they will not do the strange thing of paying IQ tax only as a stupid bird.

So along the way, except for a few people who drink in large bowls and eat meat in large chunks, uh...... Big...... In addition to bragging, it can be said that it is not interesting, but it is very boring. After arriving in Zhengzhou the next day, they took a short rest and started their hike again.

On this day, after nearly ten days of hiking, everyone came to the depths of a large mountain at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, and prepared to purchase wild gastrodia, eucommia ulmoides and other precious medicinal materials in this area.

It was about noon, and everyone came to a small hillside, which was about a hundred and eighty miles away from the market where they were going to buy medicinal herbs, and they would definitely not be able to get there today, so everyone found a relatively flat place, and prepared to rest here, and by the way, they settled their lunch.

'Gong Laosi, you and Hu Dazui go and pick up some firewood and come back. I'll make a fire here and make food. Master Li, the dart master of the Huiyou Dart Bureau, said.

The two men said yes and set out, and then they began to build a simple stove out of stones, and then took out the pots and pans and a few large pieces of salted meat that they had bought at the last market before entering the mountain, and made the preparations for burying the pot in the pot.

To be honest, if you want to say that in this wilderness, the conditions are like this, and it would be nice to have a few pieces of salted meat to eat. However, they have been in the mountains for 3 days now, and they eat this thing every day, the key is that many times they do not find a clean water source, so they can only roast and eat.

According to Wu Youdao's words, if he eats like this, if he wants to have three long and two short to hang, he doesn't have to sit in a tank to deal with anything, and he will send it directly to the temple is a flesh Buddha, and his brother can be regarded as a Buddha on the ground. Why? Give the salty one.

Not to mention him, everyone else is just as uncomfortable. Therefore, every time you go to a place where you bury a pot to make rice, except for arranging two people to collect firewood and leaving an old account keeper Lao Du to guard the camp, everyone else will go out to find water sources and some wild vegetables, and if you are lucky enough to find water sources and wild vegetables, you can cook salted meat and wild vegetable soup, which is naturally much stronger than roasting salted meat.

No, after a few people were busy with the preparations, they said hello to Lao Du and set off to find clean water and wild vegetables. Since most of these people have a good kung fu body, and it is easy to have accidents, in order to have lunch as soon as possible, they went their separate ways.

Wu Youdao took two large empty water bladders and walked all the way east along the mountain, because the terrain in the east is relatively low, and the water flows to a low place! If there is a water source nearby, it should be very likely to be in the east.

After walking about 3 or 4 miles, the surrounding plants are becoming more and more luxuriant, according to Bei Ye, the water source is not far away, Wu Youdao doesn't know any wild vegetables or anything, he is afraid that he will be poisoned by mistake, so he doesn't care about the wild vegetables, and he only remembers to find a water source in his heart.

After walking for 1 or 2 places, I finally heard the sound of gurgling water, just when Wu Youdao was overjoyed, there was a 'huo' sound from the surrounding bushes, Ya quickly turned her head to look, only to see a shaking in the bushes, and then the surrounding bushes were like a calm lake and suddenly a large wave wave......
