240 The rules of Taoyuan Township
At the end of the dance, the people did not disperse.
The green fox gradually stopped dancing, and the nine clones formed by the nine tails also returned to their respective places.
And Zhang Cundao finally felt the abnormality of his body at this time, and began to concentrate on recording the realization of this moment. He can't dance the quaint witch dance of the green fox, but he can waltz.
Although the waltz is not as good as the witch dance, it is also a dance that talks about rules and is a ceremonial dance.
With his eyes closed, he hugged a dance partner and began to waltz.
One-two-two, two-two-two, three-two-two...... Revolve!
One more time!
His dancing is not very beautiful, and his movements are not very shocking. But the audience watched it very seriously.
Not only the green fox, not only the master, but also a large group of Mao Tuanzi also fell beside him, watching Zhang Cundao dance alone.
After a long time, Zhang Cundao finished dancing, and the blue light in the sky finally converged.
Then, there was a 'thunderous' applause!
The little balls collided with each other, making a 'crackling' sound, and screaming in their mouths, as if they were cheering.
Zhang Cundao was shocked by this sound, and then opened his eyes to take a look, and found that his surroundings, the surrounding trees, the body of the green fox, and even the master's body were covered with round and moist hairy balls!
These hairy balls were as small as a fist, and as large as a basketball, covered with hairs of various colors, all staring at him with big eyes.
"Is this ......," Zhang Cundao asked subconsciously.
"These are big tree elves, little elves born of various trees, not demons, not animals, not plants. A little wise, but not much. Qinghu rubbed the hair dumplings beside him and explained with a smile.
"I was going to use the dance to lure out some elves and let them help you collect the tea. But it seems that my dancing will be of great benefit to you. The green fox spoke again.
Speaking of this, Zhang Cundao hurriedly saluted the green fox: "Thank you for the success of the nine-tailed fox predecessors, your dance has indeed benefited me a lot." ”
It was his dancing that made Zhang Cundao understand the essence of Qingguang, and as long as he danced more in the future, this Qingguang would soon be able to be cultivated...... No one thought that this Qingguang would come from behind, and it would be faster than the progress of Orange Light!
The nine-tailed fox shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with me, the main thing is that you have a good understanding." He also understood a little at this time, why he had such a good impression of Zhang Cundao at the first sight, it turned out that he was so compatible with him!
If the nine-colored deer represents white light, then the nine-tailed fox represents green light. This kind of fate in the dark made the nine-tailed fox very 'eye-catching' to him when he saw Zhang Cundao for the first time that night.
Otherwise, do you think the nine-tailed fox is kind to everyone?
The green fox continued: "Now there are many hairy balls here that have been summoned by you, and the blue light you released has paid them, so you can let them help you do some work within your ability, such as collecting tea leaves. ”
He casually pointed to a cute little hairy ball and said, "This is the elf transformed by the tea tree, and it should be especially good at collecting tea leaves." ”
Zhang Cundao looked at his hand, a fist-sized, turquoise hair ball winked at him, and then jumped on Zhang Cundao's body and shouted at him.
Take a closer look, the hair of this hair dumpling is composed of tender green and tender green tea leaves!
"Can you help me collect the tea leaves?" Zhang Cundao took out a tea leaf and said to it.
This Mao Tuanzi looked at the tea carefully, then nodded, and called 'chirp', which was regarded as agreeing.
After Zhang Cundao's words, it began to work with all kinds of hair balls of all kinds and colors. When the wind blows, they fly up in the wind, land precisely on the tea trees, and then gnaw off the young leaves and bring them back to the bamboo basket.
With the help of these hundreds of hairy dumplings, Zhang Cundao does not need to pick tea himself. The swordsman also breathed a sigh of relief......
At this time, Qinghu glanced at Zhang Cundao and said, "Since you are fine, then come to my house to chat." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the white stone platform. Zhang Cundao also hurriedly followed.
On the white stone, the green pine is like a cover. A few green pine hair dumplings took a teacup made of green bamboo, and the incision of this teacup still had green stubble, which was obviously just temporarily processed.
Qingsong Mao Tuanzi put the bamboo tube teacup in front of Zhang Cundao, and did not shy away from it at all, directly pulled out a few tender pine needles from the other party's body and threw them into the bamboo tube, and then poured hot water into the bamboo tube. Such a cup of pine needle tea is ready.
Zhang Cundao took a small sip, the taste was okay, slightly bitter. When Qing Songmao Tuanzi saw him drinking tea, he also jumped up happily, and then he was driven away by the green fox.
Mao Tuanzi left, and Qinghu said, "How long have you been in Taoyuan Township?" ”
"That's just three or five days." Zhang Cundao replied honestly.
"Oh~ so you don't know a lot of things." Qinghu said with a smile.
"Please also ask the seniors for advice." Zhang Cundao said.
Qinghu nodded, organized his language a little, and said: "This Taoyuan Township is not a place where humans should come, this Taoyuan Township is a Taoyuan Township that belongs to elves." ”
When he had finished speaking, he pointed to himself and said, "I am the spirit." And those hairy dumplings are fine. ”
"The lifespan of elves is endless, and even if they die, there is a way to be reincarnated and reborn, which is actually one of the rules here. Later, this place was discovered by humans, and it was found that there was a ruthless person here, who comprehended a scripture called "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", and then combined the Peach Blossom Source with the rules here, and concretized the laws to make this place a Taoyuan Township. ”
From then on, the people and lives in Taoyuan Township, as long as they live here, will get the ability of immortality. But at the cost of having to go through the suffering of reincarnation once a year. After reincarnation, these people and creatures will be reset, no matter what the state is, they will be reset! ”
"Even if you die, you will be reset on the first day of the new year! However, this rule is not valid for the aborigines of Taoyuan Township, that is, us, and only for outsiders. Qinghu said lightly.
"So, over the years, I've seen many, many strange things." Qinghu sneered and said this, listening to his tone, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with all this.
"Did you encounter a tiger last night?" Qinghu asked suddenly.
Zhang Cundao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"That tiger, the last year was a farmer." Qinghu said suddenly.
This sentence made Zhang Cundao stunned, and he hurriedly asked: "I was a farmer last year, what does this mean?" ”
The green fox sneered and said, "This is the rule of you humans. They will work out three, six, nine and so on according to people's performance. The best of the third class will continue to be a person next year. The middle third class in the middle will turn into a beast. The lowest three will become chickens, ducks and fish, and will be eaten. ”
Zhang Cundao was shocked by these words, he had thought about a lot of things, but he never thought of this!
Seeing his shocked appearance, Qinghu also laughed and said, "Endless life makes people feel bored. And the ruthless person who founded here is a person who pays attention to rules, pays attention to dignity and humility, and has outstanding achievements. ”
"Everyone who first arrives here, whether they come unexpectedly or are reborn through the lotus pond, is a human being in the first year. Then, the person will be assigned to work. Those who have skills are craftsmen, and those who do not have skills are farmers and woodcutters. ”
"Then a year goes by, and people will judge the person's performance for the year. Humble and respectful, good moral character, serious work, obedient to management, will continue to be a person in the next life. And those who don't work hard, have an arrogant attitude, and don't fit in will be arranged to be beasts. ”
"In the next year, if you don't act well as a beast, you will again be reduced to chickens, ducks and fish for human meat. Basically, if you become a chicken, duck and fish, it is difficult to have a chance to turn over. ”
"But he has become a beast, if he can complete a kill of a person, it means that this person is very good as a beast, and he can be promoted to a man in the next year, and the person killed by a beast, no matter how good he does, will be considered incompetent and will be replaced as a beast."
"There is a complex evaluation system, and on Chinese New Year's Eve at the end of each year, when right and wrong are discussed, merit will be judged by each person."
Qinghu's words made Zhang Cundao dumbfounded, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a thing. Now that I think about it, I suddenly understand what those villagers said.
"The wild is very dangerous, there are all kinds of wild beasts, there is no need not to go out of the village......"
If you get a kill by a beast...... Then the next year can only be a beast. And if you become a beast, if you don't work hard, you may be a chicken, duck and fish in the next year, and you will never be able to turn over. Just imagine, when the permanent chicken, duck and fish, how miserable it is.
Every year's Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the day when the new year and the old year are handed over. On this day, all people will briefly regain the memories of their previous life. If you recover the memory of being a fish that was boiled at birth, you may have a broken mind......
Is this immortality a blessing or a torment?
When Zhang Cundao heard this, he was also silent. Suddenly, he asked, "I heard you say that there are outsiders and lotus pond reincarnations, what is the difference?" ”
Qinghu said: "Outsiders are people who come with memories, and they pass through the passage through which the first ruthless man passed. These people come here with their memories, even if they are reset, they will return to the memories of the first time they entered this place, and all kinds of crafts will not be lost. ”
"And those who were born from the lotus pond are those who devour rotten peaches and apricots outside, and those who come here through reincarnation, their memories have been washed white, and they have no skills, and this kind of people have no contribution to Taoyuan Township, and they can only be farmers, laborers, etc., and they are the easiest to become beasts."
Qinghu looked at Zhang Cundao, and suddenly said: "You are also a foreigner, but don't be too happy, if you are killed within this year, you will be born from the lotus pond next year, and then your memory will be whitewashed!" So, if you want to keep your memories alive, don't die! ”
