When Chenyuan crossed the top of a pine tree again, there was no taller tree than it, and it reached the top. Chen Yuan stood at the tip of the palm-sized pine tree, and did not alarm the pine trees picking pine cones under his feet, just swaying with the wind, looking at the scene in front of him. A circle of pine trees of almost average height enclosed the well-groomed summit. On the flat open space, there is only a boxy compound, and the courtyard is simply four houses. There is a large house on the north side, and there is a hut on the east and west sides side by side, the west side is the ear room, and on the left hand side of the door is a small kang, on which is a messy quilt. On the east side is a stove room, with various small objects such as large spoons, colanders, and pot brushes hanging on the wall next to the door, and two water tanks standing on the wall. Opposite the water tank is a large and a small two earthen stoves, the pot on the big stove does not know where to go, the small stove is smoking, the small pot lid is half covered, and the stove mouth is exploding with a crackling sound. The half-open lid of the pot was bubbling out, and Chen Yuan could hear what was boiling in the pot, the soup should be very viscous, but the person watching the stove didn't know where it went.

An old man came out of the door curtain in the wing room on the west side, not tall, slightly hunched, wearing a pair of broken linen shoes, the heels of which had been stepped on and could no longer be stunned, and the heels of people were dry and cracked many openings.

"Egg baby! Egg baby! Heh-phew! The old man shouted twice, I don't know if it was because of the excessive sound, a mouthful of phlegm came out of his throat, and he spit out to the small vegetable patch at the door of the stove room from a distance, and stuck it firmly on an eggplant, and the old phlegm slowly slipped down, connecting a sticky silk between the eggplant's butt and the soil.

"What about people! The meat is all sticky! The blind boy runs around all day! The old man scolded and went into the stove room.

The sound of "squeaking" came from Chenyuan's side, and when he turned his head, he saw that a teenage doll was rushing from the path east of the yard with a flat burden. Chen Yuan looked at him interestingly, the doll was about the same size as Taimo, and even a year or two younger, and it was not as tall as Taimo. There were two buckets of water hanging on the flat pole, and even though the doll ran fast, it didn't shake, and not a drop spilled out. On closer inspection, although the doll's legs are quickly alternating back and forth on the potholed road, they are not moving above the waist, and there is no rise and fall at all.

"The force is violent, the force is skillful, the force is light, the breath is stable, and the ventilation is even." Chen Yuan silently commented in his heart, no matter how good this internal and external strength is, he can't come down for seven or eight years.

"Master! I'm here! Before the doll entered the yard, it began to shout through the east wall, and the soles of her feet were still not slow at all, and her voice did not tremble at all.

"Coupled with this voice, this skill has not been able to come down for ten years." Chen Yuan added another evaluation.

"I would have asked you to carry water and water, and I would not wait for the to reach the ditch before looking for thatch! Look here! The meat is not a little burnt! I want to help you add some water, the tank is empty! The old man came out and flicked the doll's smooth forehead.

"Master, you don't understand, this is a burnt pig's trotters! You think how dirty the pigsty is, the pig's paws walk around in its own pile of and urine, and it pickles when it is alive. Have some burnt incense, and you won't have that faint smell. Doll said.

"Fart! How many years have your grandfather eaten pig's trotters! When have you ever heard of burnt incense? The old man scolded with a smile.

"Hah! Master, you can try it in a while, and I promise that you want to live for another two years after eating. Doll said.

"I just don't fucking eat, and I want to live for another two years. Don't play tricks, bury some more ash in the stove, the chicken skin will be scorched when the fire is big, and the mud will be thin. The old man said.

"Okay, master, you can lie on the kang and cook your tea can, and bring it to you when it is cooked." The doll carried the pole into the stove room.

"Look at the place in the stove hall is big enough, big enough to put two chickens, and there are guests coming." The old man entered the main house, and shouted without looking back.

"If you can put one, you will have nowhere to add firewood to two." The doll shouted too.

"Then bake two buns." The old man entered the house, and only the voice came out.

"Okay." The doll responded by pouring two buckets of water into the water tank and asking, "Who is coming?" How many people? ”

"Three, one has been there for a while, two are still on the mountain road, and they will be there in half an hour." The old man said.

"Shall I get two more dishes then?" The doll asked, shouting.

"If you don't bother, just whatever." The old man said.

Chen Yuan swayed in the wind on the tip of the pine tree and chuckled, the old man hadn't looked here from beginning to end, but he had already discovered himself. It's strange to know that there are two people behind me, and I even know how long it will take.

"Do I need to go through the front door?" Chen Yuan shouted with a smile at the main house.

"It's up to you to drill the dog hole." A lazy voice floated out slowly.

Chen Yuan gently kicked the tip of the tree, and the person had already "swished" to the door of the main house. The tips of the trees that can be swayed even by the wind, and the strength of the birds when they take off can be kicked crookedly, can they provide Chenyuan with such strength?

Chen Yuan crossed the knee-high threshold and entered the main room, facing the door was an offering table incense table, and there were two Taishi chairs in the side. On the wall hangs a central hall in which an immortal with fluttering sleeves rides the long wind to break through the waves of the vast sea. The two couplets write respectively: If there is no desire, it is rigid, and if it is too rigid, it is easy to break. I couldn't see Chenyuan crying and laughing, the text was not right, and these two sentences were unrelated, I didn't know what to express, so I simply didn't think about it. The old man on the kang didn't speak since Chen Yuan entered the door, smoking a dry cigarette, half lying on the kang, leaning on the circled bed. There is a copper brazier on the surface of the mat, and the charcoal in the basin "crackles" every once in a while, and the small sand pot simmering in the gray charcoal ash is slowly bubbling. The main room was quiet, and the sound of the teapot and the old man smoking a cigarette seemed to have hypnotic magic at this moment. Chen Yuan shook his head, found the rattling head shrouded in smoke, and said with a smile: "The kid took the liberty to visit, and he came empty-handed, but he still had to eat." ”

"It's okay, just give the money." The old man said, he didn't move, it clicked louder.

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and put his hand into his arms. After touching it for a long time, he frowned.

"Where are you taking a shower?" The old man laughed.

Chen Yuanhan smiled and pulled out of his arms, spread his hands, and was about to say something.

"Gone, right? It's frizzy, and it's pretty fast. The old man sat up and knocked his cigarette bottle twice on the edge of the kang.

The old man's face leaked through the smoke, about seventy or eighty years old, not wrinkled, full of teeth neat, not like an old man's teeth, no wonder it is a pig's trotter and a chicken. The eye sockets are slightly sunken, and the eyes are shone and introverted. Except for the top of the hair, which is quite dense and normal white. The goosebumps around his neck were loosely piled up with two folds, and he wore a white cloth shirt, which was now a yellow cloth - an ordinary old man in good spirits.

"Did my husband see me go up the mountain?" Tatsu Yuandao.

"I didn't see it." Old man said.

"Then how do you know that I'm running fast?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I see you go up the tree." Old man said.

“……”

"I don't know what I'm doing in a hurry, and the rice is not cooked. One hundred taels! Four more! I don't know where the wind is blowing at this moment. The old man was a little distressed.

Chen Yuan was inevitably a little frightened in his heart, to be honest, the old man could hear that he had arrived, and he could do it, and even heard that the two of them were also about to arrive, and he could hear it when he meditated and meditated. He could see the silver ticket falling out of his arms when he went up the mountain, and he could understand it, although he really didn't feel when it fell. However, knowing how many silver tickets there are and how many taels each one is, this is a bit nonsense, right?

"What's the fuss, go to the kang." The old man said, and as he spoke, he pulled out a tea can from under the brazier, grabbed a pinch of tea powder and threw it in, added water, and simmered it beside the charcoal fire.

Chen Yuan was silent, silently took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, and sat cross-legged in front of the teahouse that the old man had prepared for himself.

"What are you still stunned about?" The old man saw that Chen Yuan didn't speak, so he took care of himself and filled the cigarette bottle with tobacco leaves.

"Old man, how do you know that I have a silver ticket in my arms......"

"See."

Before Chen Yuan's question was finished, he was interrupted by the old man.

"So far." Tatsu Yuandao.

"Shen Ling, won't you too?" The old man said disapprerovingly.

Chen Yuan's heart set off turbulent waves.

Didn't Dad say that Shen Ling is the only one who will? What do you mean? What else did he teach others? But this old man looks much older than his own old man, right? It's still a world away, so it shouldn't be related! Or did the old man also comprehend this exercise himself? It's impossible to even comprehend the same name!

"You boy looks too clever too! Why are you always stunned? This time the old man was a little stunned.

"Old man, this Shen Ling ......"

"Oh, when he taught you, didn't he tell you that he would be alone?"

The old man interrupted Chen Yuan again and smiled, revealing his yellow teeth that had been smoked by drought for many years.

"That's why I'm ......"

"Hahaha! He thought he was the only one who understood. ”

The old man didn't seem to be able to see Chenyuan finish speaking, and waited for Chenyuan to speak halfway.

"Old man, what the hell is this......"

"Listen to me and you."

The old man was still the same, and he didn't let Chen Yuan say a complete word.

Chen Yuan's lips trembled. Trying to keep his mouth shut, he didn't want to speak again until the old man had finished speaking.

Of all the people who had previously meditated in front of the Enlightenment Monument, he was indeed the first to stand up and leave. But it doesn't mean that those who don't get up and leave don't have understanding, right? There are also those who really can't comprehend it, and they stand up and leave, so they can't think that he understands it, right? Isn't it? Hahaha! The old man grinned with yellow teeth.

"What? What a monument of enlightenment, old man! Chen Yuan simply couldn't bear it anymore and shouted. Didn't you say it in detail? What does this mean? He? Who is he? Enlightenment Monument? So what's that?

"What? Don't you know anything? So how did he teach you this exercise? The old man was finally stunned again.

"It shouldn't be! Hit you up the mountain, just your body, the external internal force, and then look at your appearance. Tut-tut...... Like a bird like him back then! Why is he even hiding his own son? The old man smacked his lips.

"Oh no, are you his son or his grandson, it's been forty or fifty years, and if you hurry up, it's just right to have a twenty-year-old grandson!" The old man then continued.

"Old man, who are you talking about?" Chen Yuan finally finished a sentence, which was better than being brief.

"Hualiu, who else can there be? Not your dad? "The old man is rightfully authentic.

Chen Yuan shook his head dumbly and said, "I don't recognize it." ”

"Impossible, what's your last name?" The old man was also stunned and asked.

"The boy's surname is Chen, and his single name is a distant character." Chen Yuan said respectfully.

"Tatsu ...... Yes, yes, yes. The old man touched his chin and pondered for a long time, then took a closer look at Chenyuan's appearance, and even pinched his mouth and looked at his teeth, and said.

"Whatever you want!" Chen Yuan was really a little crazy by what he didn't say, he was pinched by someone, he shook his head left and right to look at his teeth, and he didn't resist as if he was picking a dog, just waiting for such a sentence.

"It just doesn't matter, anyway, you should be able to do it, don't eat with your surname." As he spoke, the old man put the cigarette bottle into the charcoal fire and lit the tobacco leaves.

“……”

"Hey, speaking of eating, have you ever eaten roast chicken wrapped in mud? Pheasant. The old man said.

"Old man, I really have a problem in my head." Chen Yuan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Hey, I know, I know, don't you want to know how the door of the land temple opened when you are down the mountain?" Old man said.

"So far away...... Chen Yuan was dumbfounded, how many grades is the other party's Shen Ling higher than himself! How terrifying is this man's internal strength? Why I sat across from him and didn't feel it at all.

"Now, do you see? The well. The old man ignored him and was not surprised, and pointed to a well in the courtyard through the window.

Chen Yuan turned his head to look out of the window and saw a well in the courtyard built with stones, and two iron chains wrapped around the copper wheel.

"You can't catch up with that person at this point, if that person is the first thing you say when you enter the door, how can you let the boy go out to fetch water when you have a well at home? What's weird in the well? The old man laughed.

"I do find it strange that there are multiple barrels, and iron chains are actually used on the wheels, and even the wheels are copper." Tatsu Yuandao.

"Haha! Just make a show! The old man laughed.

"As long as that little cub of the Ran family makes a noise when he pulls that thing, I know he's going to go in, and then—boom!" The old man slapped through the window as he spoke, but the window paper did not move, but the copper wheel at the mouth of the well turned quickly more than ten times, and the iron chain in the well was lifted and wound around the wheel.

"At this moment, the land temple was opened." The old man said, picked up the teapot and reduced half the cup of tea to the cup.

"And then, you're all out, and—whoa!" The old man said and waved back to the window, as if there was someone in the courtyard, beckoning him to come in and sit. Chen Yuan only felt a gentle breeze blowing on his face, and the copper wheel turned back in a clatter, returning to the position of Fang Cai.

"Then the temple will be closed again." The old man picked up the teacup as he spoke, took a sip of strong tea, and then smacked his lips as if he had taken a sip of spirited wine.

After Chen Yuan watched this display, while marveling at the old man's deep internal strength, he finally understood how the mechanism worked. It turned out to be artificially controlled, and the knife at the bottom was a disguise, as long as you discussed it with the old man, you can make any movement or any sound, anyway, he is here to control. The mystery was opened freely, so that Chen Yuan also picked up the tea cup and poured it down, and then the smacking sound louder than the old man came, and even his facial features were puffed together - what kind of tea is this? It's sour and bitter, and it's so thick when cooked.

"What a big deal, old man! Who would have thought that the mechanism that controlled the gateway at the bottom of the mountain was on the top of another mountain. Chen Yuan exclaimed.

"What a project! At least a passage from here to the bottom of the mountain would have to be opened to accommodate such a thick iron chain. What a clever workman! Chen Yuan praised it again.

"This is also called a big project? Hehe...... "The old man stopped talking and stopped talking."

"Whose hand is this?" Chen Yuan asked.

"It's been there since ancient times, and I don't know it." The old man said.

"Then how do you ......?"

"I'm the same as the little cub of the Ran family, he has the place he wants to guard and the things he wants to do, I have the place I want to guard and the things I want to do." The old man said.

"But, he was asked to guard by the Martial God Pavilion, aren't you the Martial God Pavilion?" Tatsu Yuandao.

"Hmph...... Since that person didn't even tell you the origin of Shen Ling, presumably you haven't been to that place either, then- I won't tell you this. The old man grinned with yellow teeth.

Chen Yuan was like a lightning strike for a while, and he came to solve the puzzle, but now the mystery has been solved, and there is a large number of riddles......
