Chapter 2 Bagua Village
In a mountain col, there is a village.
The village is not large, but there are 100 families, 4 or 500 people.
On the winding village road, there is a young man in white, he walks through the village with a smile on his face, and from time to time he will raise his head to look at the surrounding houses, and sometimes he will stop and look at the road under his feet in a daze.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind him, and the man walked up behind the young man, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
The young man was suddenly startled, and when he turned around, he saw a dark-skinned, honest-looking young man scratching the back of his head and laughing.
"Dumb brother, is it true that grandma said you were leaving?"
The young man's name was Zhuge Ping'an, fourteen years old, and he was gesturing while talking to the young man in front of him.
In Zhuge Ping'an's eyes, this young man is a deaf and mute person, he can't speak or hear others, and he relies on gesturing to communicate on weekdays.
Many people may ask, why do you talk to him when you know that the other person can't hear him?
In fact, when many people communicate with deaf and mute people, they know that the other party can't hear, and they will also say the words when gesticulating. Not to mention, I always feel that I am holding a breath in my throat, which is very uncomfortable. Zhuge Ping'an is such a person.
The young man nodded after listening to Zhuge Ping'an's words.
That's right, he can hear and speak, he is not deaf and dumb at all, he is Luo Chen, from the earth, it has been more than two months since he arrived in this world, and he has been in this village for two months.
As for why he pretends to be deaf and dumb, the reason is simple, he doesn't know the language of this world.
It is also a crossing, other people can directly grasp the language of that world as soon as they arrive in the other world, but Luo Chen is an exception, he relied on pretending to be deaf and dumb in this village for more than a month to roughly master the language of this world. Now Luo Chen's only hope is that the language of this world is unified, otherwise it will be embarrassing to spend more than a month learning the dialect.
Two months ago, Luo Chen dragged an injury and fell in the mountains and forests, when Zhuge Ping'an's grandmother Huang Granny found and rescued him, and later placed him in the village's private school to work and do chores.
Gradually, he also learned the words of this world.
It is worth mentioning that the pronunciation of the characters in this world is similar to the Chinese language on the earth, especially in the rhyme of Pingxuan, and the hieroglyphs of the words of this world also belong to the oracle bone inscription and the golden inscription of Huaxia.
Interestingly, what is taught in the private school is not benevolence, righteousness and morality, but the method of cultivation.
This was also Luo Chen's first contact with the cultivation system of this world.
The cultivation system of this world is divided into nine realms: acquired, congenital, qi training, foundation building, divine pill, dao fetus, transformation of gods, return to void, and sendai.
Among them, the acquired cultivation of the physical body, the innate condensation of true qi, the cultivation of qi and the cultivation of true yuan, and the use of spiritual qi for foundation building coincide with the four realms of qi, condensation, nourishment, and qi on the earth. As for the Divine Pill Realm, Luo Chen initially speculated that it should be equivalent to the Golden Pill Realm on Earth. However, then he found out that the so-called Divine Pill was not so simple, according to Mr. Private School's description, the Divine Pill Realm was equivalent to the Jindan Realm understood by Luo Chen in a macroscopic sense. But the Divine Pill Realm is not just an ordinary small realm, but a large realm composed of three small realms. And Luo Chen's so-called Jindan Realm is actually just the last small realm of the Divine Pill Realm.
Before the Jindan realm, there were also the Void Dan Realm and the Xuandan Realm. As for the specific details of these two small realms, Mr. Private School did not elaborate, after all, the people in the hall are only teenagers in the acquired realm, and the Shendan realm is still too far away for them now.
As for what this world is called, Luo Chen doesn't know. Like the ancients, the people here also believe that the world is composed of the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, and that the name of the world is only called "the world" and "the world".
Why did Luo Chen master the language of this world in more than a month, but he continued to stay in this village for a month?
How to say, Luo Chen found that this village was not as simple as he imagined.
The first is location. The village is located in a mountain basin surrounded by mountain peaks, which is nothing, but Luo Chen, as a feng shui master, sees the doorway. This village is actually directly pressed on the dragon head of this mountain range, you must know that without the support of strong qi operation, the final outcome of the strong pressure on the dragon head must be the destruction of the village and the death of people. But this village is not the slightest bit unusual, on the contrary, it has sufficient aura and prosperous children and grandchildren. There are many years in this village, such as Zhuge Ping'an in front of him, a genius boy who reached the innate realm at the age of only fourteen or fifteen, and many teenagers walked out of this mountain and mingled outside.
The second is style. At a glance, the buildings here all reveal a simple, rigid and serious Han style. As a feng shui physiognologist, Luo Chen is well aware of the architectural styles of previous dynasties, and he can be sure that the architectural styles here are strikingly similar to those of the Han Dynasty.
Finally, there's the layout. This is what puzzles Luo Chen the most. This village is completely laid out according to the changes and arrangements of the Bagua, and the rows of houses are either connected or paviliond, just like the yin and yang on the Bagua, which are located in a good place. In the center of the village is a circular clearing with a radius of 300 meters, half of which is a pond and half of which is a field, just forming the shape of a yin and yang fish, and there is a spring on the ground, surrounded by cypress trees, and an ancestral hall is also built in the middle of the pond, and the spring and the ancestral hall are located below the dragon's eye. And at the junction of the pond and the field, there are seven stone pillars nailed.
Seven-star lock dragon?
Looking at this village, Luo Chen couldn't help but think of a more famous village in China - Zhuge Bagua Village!
According to the news that Luo Chen learned, the name of this village is also called Zhuge Bagua Village!
At the thought of this, Luo Chen's hairs stood on end.
Could it be that this village is related to Mr. Wolong?
Thinking of the ancestral hall in the pond, an ancient poem suddenly flashed in Luo Chen's mind: "Where to find the ancestral hall of the prime minister, Parsons outside Jinguan City." ”
"It seems that I still have to go to the ancestral hall before leaving!"
Luo Chen was planning in his heart.
His gaze crossed the alley, looked at the ancestral hall, and quietly moved to his eyes. He spied on this ancestral hall with his secret technique Heavenly Eye, but found that the interior of this ancestral hall was shrouded in a mist, and he was never able to see its reality clearly.
If this village is really related to Mr. Wolong, then maybe he can figure out some of the situation, such as the situation of the earth and the world.
"Dumb brother?
Seeing that Luo Chen's eyes were a little dull, Zhuge Ping'an couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake it in front of him.
Only then did Luo Chen put away his messy thoughts.
Seeing Luo Chen come back to his senses, Zhuge Ping'an continued to gesture and said, "Brother dumb, where are you going?" Are you going home?"
However, Luo Chen just rubbed Zhuge Ping'an's hair, shook his head, and walked towards Granny Huang's house in the west of the village.
After going around the three corners, he arrived at Granny Huang's house, and Luo Chen had already seen Granny Huang sitting at the door to pack herbs. Granny Huang is the village's maternity and physician and is very respected by the villagers. She often goes out to collect medicine on weekdays, and it was Granny Huang who found Luo Chen when she was collecting medicine in the mountains and forests not far from the village, and a large part of Luo Chen's injuries were healed by Granny Huang.
And Luo Chen often goes out to pick herbs with Granny Huang when he has free time on weekdays, and he finds that the herbs in this world are still very different from those on the earth, he found many plants that have never been seen before, and there are many herbs that are similar to the earth but have much greater medicinal effect. After tasting some herbs, Luo Chen found that these herbs were not only much more effective, but also some of the pharmacology had changed, which made Luo Chen dare not use the medicine easily. But fortunately, there is no division between the five branches of medicine and fate, and Luo Chen is also quite accomplished in medical skills, and now he has studied the herbs he found to seventy-seven eighty-eight.
And after research, Luo Chen made a major discovery, that is, the herbs in this world actually have an amazing consistency with the elixirs included in the "Qitian Treasure Record".
When Luo Chen appeared around the corner, Granny Huang had already spotted him, and she beckoned to Luo Chen, meaning that he would go over.
Luo Chen hurriedly stepped forward.
Granny Huang turned around and took off a white robe drying on the bamboo pole, folded it and handed it to Luo Chen.
After Luo Chen's results, Granny Huang gestured with her hand and said: "Chang'an, this dress has been mended for you, you should be careful when collecting medicine in the future, try to avoid those ferocious beasts if you can, don't fight with them......"
Chang'an is the name given to Luo Chen by Granny Huang, in order to be called better.
Older people are always more verbose, Luo Chen looked at Granny Huang's serious gesture but felt very warm, he looked at Granny Huang's eyes, smiled and kept nodding. How long has it been since I heard someone tell me? Is it eighty years or a hundred years? Anyway, I rarely hear it after the Master's death.
Dinner was done by Luo Chen, two plates of wild vegetables, one fish, and the fish was caught by Zhuge Ping'an.
After dinner, Luo Chen returned to his room and waited quietly.
In the dead of night, Luo Chen stretched out his hand and counted for a moment, and then frowned.
There are only two words in the hexagram -- the great murderer! Whether you go or not, you are the great murderer!
Luo Chen was struggling, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and changed into a black linen shirt.
Seek wealth and danger! Take a gamble and then talk about it.
He urged his thoughts, restrained his breath, hid his figure, quietly melted into the darkness, and walked towards the ancestral hall.
But when Luo Chen came to the shore of the pond, he stopped.
He felt the aura fluctuate.
Luo Chen runs the "Tao Te Ching" exercises, injecting aura into the double pupils, which is a magical magic included in the "Qitian Treasure Record", called Breaking the Delusional Eye. Using it, Luo Chen turned his gaze into the distance and found that more than a dozen figures were getting closer.
Looking at what they were wearing, Luo Chen could be sure that they were not from the village.
The comer is not good!
