Chapter Seventy-Four: Land
The rich water town in Jiangnan is rich in handsome water towns.
At this time, the water town has not yet taken shape, with blue bricks and black tiles, bluestone paving, and clear water surrounding the city, none of which are there.
There are only tulou wooden houses and thatched huts.
This is normal in this era, after all, the production technology has not been improved, and the bricks and tiles cannot reach the capacity to build large building complexes.
And there is a lot of timber in the mountains and forests, and there is land under your feet, so there are no tulou wooden houses.
The small villages that Chen Jin traveled through at this time are like this, and I don't know if they will be able to become a metropolis in the future.
This village is not very large, there are about 100 houses, that is, there are about 100 households, a total of four or five hundred people, of which most of them are young adults and children, and there are few elderly people.
This is also normal, according to Chen Jin's concept, the elderly have to be fifty or sixty years old, and how difficult it is to live to fifty or sixty years old in this year, I don't know how many diseases are staring at the elderly.
Chen Jin walked into the village in a hurry.
Because he did not limit the growth of his beard, and his current age is the most rebellious and favorite age for beards, his beard grows gratifyingly, faster than leeks.
He went down from Laoshan Mountain to this Gusu Water Town, stopped and walked, almost three months, this foot is not slow, it is also fast.
And this section of the road, Chen Jin has not lost his way once, after all, he is also a cultivator, and it is a basic requirement to look at the sky, so when he looks up at the sky, he can basically know where to go.
In fact, Chen Jin wanted to directly follow the seawater current and send him to the south.
But the sea current in this year is a little unstable, there are many monsters in the sea, and there are many monsters that can turn over the river and the sea, Chen Jin looked at his small physique, and finally decided to walk on this land.
Chen Jin walked around the village, then stopped and stopped at a land temple in the village.
This land temple has a god.
Chen Jin now wants to chat with the most well-informed land father-in-law in the world.
At this time, the land temple was also very sloppy, but something is better than nothing, and the land is not a great god, and his temple cannot be built magnificently, which is to exceed the rules of the gods, and the land may be punished.
Chen Jin came to the Land Temple (this Land Temple can at least let people get into).
As soon as Chen Jin was about to sit down cross-legged, a villager came to him.
"That Taoist priest inside, why are you entering the land temple in our village?" a man took the lead in walking out of the surrounding villagers, and then said in a thick Gusu accent.
"Seeing that the father-in-law of the land is lonely, just chat with him. Chen Jin responded casually.
"Can you talk to the land lord?" The man listened to Chen Jin's words, the anger on his face subsided, and he asked cautiously.
"He said that you are very filial, he is very happy, let you go to the farm, he wants to talk to me. Chen Jin replied as soon as he opened his mouth.
In fact, the land did appear in front of Chen Jin's eyes, but before he could speak, Chen Jin filled in his lines first......
"Is that really what the land lord said?" the man looked at Chen Jin strangely.
The expressions of the other villagers gathered around were the same as those of the man.
"Yes, Poor Dao has never made drafts...... Well, never a lie. Chen Jin made a common gesture for Taoist priests.
"That's... That ......" The man's face flushed, and he looked happy.
"Don't gather here, let me talk to the landlord first. Chen Jin then waved his hand and motioned for everyone to disperse.
"That's... Dao Chief, can you ask the land lord a few words on our behalf?" The man and the others did not disperse, but looked at Chen Jin with earnest expressions.
"Xiaoyou, I know what they want to ask, you answer them, Xiao Lao'er is fine. The land also spoke at this time.
Oh, it looks like there's a story in there.
Chen Jin's face moved, nodded, and should he accept it?
"Your land lord told me just now, he is fine, you can do your own thing with peace of mind. Chen Jin conveyed the words.
The land did look a little weak, as if it had been wounded.
"That's... That ......" The man and the villagers were all happy when they heard this.
But there is not much joy, and the sorrow is still there.
"Let's disperse, don't affect this year's harvest, then your land lord will be unhappy. Chen Jin continued.
"It's all scattered, it's all scattered, don't disturb the land lord. An old man, supported by a young man, squeezed through the crowd to drive the villagers away.
"Dao Chief, I'm sorry, junior has caused you trouble. The old man arched his hand at Chen Jin, what he said was actually the dialect of the north, and it was also the dialect of Qilu, of course, there were some differences in the dialect of Qilu everywhere, Chen Jin had only heard the dialect of Laoshan Mountain, and he didn't hear much about it in other places.
It's just that this old man can actually hear the dialect accent of the Gusu dialect that Chen Jin said at this time, which took away the Qilu land, and he is also powerful, and his ears are really young.
"Let me go to work in the fields, don't miss the farming time, whoever misses the farming time, I must kill him." The old man then roared at the villagers in a Gusu accent.
Its voice is so loud that it really grows stronger.
"He's an old friend of mine, and I usually use a lot of energy to send anger to him, so he can be so angry. The land saw Chen Jin's doubts and replied directly.
"Can't you manifest?" said Chen Jin, saying this with his mental thoughts, not with his mouth.
After the last time his mental power soared, Chen Jin was able to use his spiritual thoughts to communicate with people.
"I was traumatized a few days ago, and my spirit was damaged and I couldn't manifest myself. The land replied.
"I see. Chen Jin nodded.
"Aren't they all natives of Gusu?" asked Chen Jin again.
"We both migrated 50 years ago, and I was originally from the village, but I was worshiped by the villagers and became land. The land replied.
Chen Jin heard this sentence and looked at the land strangely.
Listening to the meaning of his words, he is not canonized by a higher god, so he is considered a false god, and in serious cases, he can even be classified as an evil god and obscenity, he has neither the humane orthodoxy of the world, nor the canonization of the righteous god.
Moreover, the land can be regarded as a branch unit of the prefecture, so he has not been recognized by the prefecture.
In addition, this land was originally a ghost, so this land is illegal......
But think about the fact that the underworld itself has a lot of things, and there are some things in the underworld that have not been taken care of, let alone the human world, it is beyond the reach of the whip, unless someone reports it with their real name......
Of course, Chen Jin will not have the spare time to report, and there are land temples everywhere these years, and some of them are still evil ghosts who are in the position of the land and do those things that eat people.
Therefore, there are not too many lands that can be guarded by the people, and in this case, the net will be opened.
