Chapter 4: Exploded! Exploded! [Part 1] ()

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. Zhang Yuan practiced martial arts day after day, occasionally leaving a dungeon to kill deer, and went to the streets when he was bored. His life was quite nourishing. Unfortunately, he still didn't feel the feeling of energy, let alone the true energy was breeding.

Late at night, one man and one horse rushed into Tuofeng Town, finally strangled the reins in front of the Zhang Mansion, and then hurriedly knocked on the door!

"Who? It's late at night! What's the knock!" The concierge of the Zhang Mansion shouted loudly.

"Ertiedi! I am Chizi! Open the door quickly!" shouted the person outside the door.

"Chizi?" The doorman Zhang Ertie heard a familiar voice and hurriedly opened the door. He saw that Ertie was standing outside the door, so he said happily: "Chizi, come back, is the master back too?"

"The master hasn't come back, so I'm back. I'll talk to you later. I have to go to the butler now. Ertie will help me move my horse to the horse shed. Thank you." Zhang Chi said, threw the reins to the doorman Zhang Chi, and then rushed to the main house.

The next day, it was dark, and Zhang Yuan was woken up by the noise. He had no choice but to dress up and get up. Fortunately, it was summer and it was early, otherwise he would not be willing to get up.

As soon as Zhang Yuan got up, he pushed open the door of the house and saw Zhang Sihu commanding several servants to work in the courtyard. The things in each wing room were moved out, and some people were moving the things in the courtyard outside...

"Sihu, what are you doing? Moving?" Zhang Yuan asked loudly.

"Hello, the fourth master." The servants greeted one after another.

"Okay, okay, you guys are busy, Sihu, come here." Zhang Yuan responded.

Zhang Sihu hurried to Zhang Yuan and said, "Young Master."

"Well, tell me, what is this for? Why did you bring out everything?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Young Master, this is what the third young master and the housekeeper ordered. It is said that our Zhang family will move north. The things in the mansion should be sold, and those who cannot be sold will go to the pawnshop. The remaining miscellaneous items will be used as long-term workers." Zhang Sihu said truthfully.

"Hey, I really want to move, moving north? Isn't it a disaster in the north? Why are you moving to the north?" Zhang Yuan said in shock.

"I don't know this, the young one." Zhang Sihu said.

"Well, okay, I understand, I'll go and ask my third brother." Zhang Yuan said, and walked out of the yard. As soon as he walked out of the yard, he turned back to the yard and shouted, "Sihu, go to the kitchen to ask if you have prepared medicinal medicine today. If you make the syrup, you will bring it back to me and I will come back in a while."

"Yes, young master, I'll go now." Zhang Sihu said.

When Zhang Yuan came out of his yard, he saw someone coming in and out of the main house, carrying things one by one, and from a distance he heard the butler shouting, as if he was busy directing...

Zhang Yuan walked into the main house and saw that the servants in the main house were busy working hard, and there were some whom he didn't know, as if they were temporarily hired. Zhang Yuan walked to the butler a few steps and said, "Uncle Jing, are we moving?"

"The Fourth Young Master, you are moving, so your yard is busy, right?" said the butler Zhang Jing.

"Yes, I'm busy." Zhang Yuan nodded, and then asked: "Uncle Jing, why are we moving? I heard from Sihu that he was going to move north? Isn't it a disaster to the north? Why do you still need to move north?"

"Fourth Young Master, you should ask the Third Young Master about this. Now the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master are in the ancestral hall. The Fourth Young Master will go too and kowtow to the ancestors." said the butler Zhang Jing.

Zhang Yuan scratched his head, not wanting to go to the ancestral hall or kowtow. He felt very awkward whether it was for living or dead people, especially because these four people were not his "close relatives". However, when he came out, the housekeeper Zhang Jing was very busy now and it was indeed difficult to disturb him, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask my third brother."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he walked along the corridor to the backyard of the main house, which is the direction of the ancestral hall. After a while, Zhang Yuan came to the door of the ancestral hall, hesitated for a while, and finally walked into the ancestral hall, thinking in his heart: "I snatched the body of other people's descendants and always kowtowed to their ancestors, just as I owed debts and paid back the money."

However, when Zhang Yuan walked into the ancestral hall, he saw that there was no ranking in the ancestral hall. The second brother Zhang Chong and the third brother Zhang Dao had already put the ranking into a large wooden box. The second brother Zhang Chong and the third brother Zhang Dao were cleaning the incense burning cauldron. The huge cauldron that one person could not hold was filled with incense ash. Zhang Chong and Zhang Dao cleared out the incense ash in hand in hand, making the two of them look dirty. The more funny it was, the more funny it was.

When Zhang Yuan saw this, he wanted to take back one of his feet that had just stepped in, but it was too late. Zhang Chong's eyes immediately noticed Zhang Yuan and said happily: "Xiao Si, it's just here, come and help!"

"Oh, the tragedy is not the time to come. I was arrested for the strong man." Zhang Yuan said desolately.

"Second brother, third brother, what are you two doing?" Zhang Yuan asked knowingly.

"Stupid! I'll understand it soon after I saw it, clean up the incense ash!" Zhang Chong said.

"Just just carry the cauldron out, just turn it over, pour out the incense ash, and wash it with clean water." Zhang Yuan said with a bad idea.

"If you dare to do this, I will never stop you. Xiao Si, please give me!" Zhang Chong said solemnly.

"Cough, cough, forget it, third brother, are there any taboos to clean up incense ash? Why are you so troublesome?" Zhang Yuan asked third brother Zhang Dao.

"Others don't have this taboo, but our Zhang family has it. The ancestors of the incense burning cauldron are heirlooms. They have been kept in the ancestral hall. My father even cherishes this cauldron. As for how much he cherishes it, I think my second brother has the most experience." Zhang Dao looked at Zhang Chong with a smile and said.

Zhang Yuan subconsciously turned his gaze to his second brother Zhang Chong, and Zhang Chong twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said with a look of unbearable look back: "Looking back at that time, my second brother had not yet mastered his skills. Once, he hid in the ancestral hall and stole food and accidentally touched the oil stain on the tripod. Later, my father found out that he was so angry that he took my pants and beat me up. Oh, at that time, I was still a white-faced boy with no rough skin and no thick flesh. He could withstand my father's family rules, but he was beaten to the point of being so heartbroken. It was so painful that I felt so painful!"

"Puff! Hahaha..." Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing, but when he saw Zhang Chong looking at him, he quickly held back and said, "Since my father cares so much about this tripod, is this really a treasure?"

Zhang Yuan said as he pretended to look at the incense burning cauldron, but Zhang Dao said, "This is our Zhang family heirloom. Of course, it is extraordinary. The "Shenhe Heart Sutra" of our Zhang family is engraved inside. It is said that our ancestors of the Zhang family got this cauldron and then learned the "Shenhe Heart Sutra". Therefore, this cauldron has always been used as a heirloom to offer it in the ancestral hall."

"Oh, no wonder." Zhang Yuan said suddenly.

"Stop talking, work quickly, Xiao Si, come and help." Zhang Chong said.

"Oh, I understand." Zhang Yuan said helplessly.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward to help, and in a blink of an eye, he became as funny as Zhang Chong and Zhang Dao. His face was dirty, his hair was gray, and he couldn't find a clean area all over his body.

While cleaning up the incense burning cauldron, Zhang Yuan asked about the moving matter. Zhang Dao gave Zhang Yuan an explanation. It turned out that a servant came back with Zhang Liang's letter last night. The letter mentioned that something happened in the north and that Zhang Liang wanted to stay in the north. He also ordered the Zhang family to move north. He also told some small and fragmentary things. Among them, the incense burning cauldron in the ancestral hall was instructed. It was no wonder that Zhang Chong and Zhang Dao were cleaning the incense burning cauldron so "diligently".

"Didn't the letter mention any changes in the north?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"No, but it was mentioned that the pipelines and waterways to the north were blocked, so we took a detour to Lizhou and then turned to Tizhou in the north. Someone would pick us up at the junction of Lizhou and Tizhou." Zhang Dao explained.

"Oh." Zhang Yuan asked this, and stopped asking questions, but focused on cleaning the incense burning tripod. Soon the meeting inside the tripod was cleaned up, and the words cast on the inner wall of the tripod were also revealed. In addition to the words, there are two other human meridian circuit diagrams, and these words and meridian circuit diagrams are the "Shenhe Heart Sutra" inherited by the Zhang family.

"What's this? I don't know any of them..." Zhang Yuan said depressedly.

"This is an ancient seal script, and I don't know it either." Zhang Chong said.

"How can you know it's ancient seal script if you don't know it?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Stupid! I haven't eaten pork, have you seen pig run? Besides, I memorized the translated "Shenhe Heart Sutra" and compared it with the ancient seal script in the cauldron. I will know the meaning of these words immediately." Zhang Chong said.

"...When I didn't ask," Zhang Yuan said depressedly.

Zhang Yuan and the other two worked while chatting. First, they cleaned the incense soil in the cauldron, and then wiped the incense burning cauldron with an oil cloth. Then they laid oil paper in the cauldron, and then put the incense burning cauldron into a large wooden box. The thin gaps between the wooden box and the incense burning cauldron were also stuffed with cotton to prevent the incense burning cauldron from being damaged. Finally, the three of them carried the large box out of the ancestral hall and placed the box in a carriage containing valuables...

"Huh, I'm finally done. By the way, Third Brother, when will we leave?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Pack up your luggage today and leave tomorrow morning. If you want to say goodbye to someone, hurry up. If you have anything to buy or bring, follow in and buy it, and you will leave tomorrow." Zhang Dao replied.

Zhang Yuan returned to his yard, but the servants in the yard had already left, and the items from each wing room were also empty. At this time, the door of the wing room was open. When Zhang Yuan stood in the yard, he could see empty rooms.

Zhang Yuan looked around in the yard, and then wanted to go back to the bedroom. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Sihu walking out from the corner of the back room. When Zhang Sihu saw Zhang Yuan in the yard, he immediately said, "Young Master, you are back."

"Well, you go and do it, I'll go to the bedroom." Zhang Yuan said.

"Young Master, are you not drinking soup?" Zhang Sihu asked.

"Ten medicine? Have you prepared soup medicine in the kitchen?" Zhang Yuan said.

"I'm ready, and I'm bringing it back too. I'm afraid the soup will get cold, so I brought it to the back room, and it's getting hot on the small stove." Zhang Sihu said.

"Come here." Zhang Yuan waved.

"Yes, young master." Zhang Sihu responded, then turned around and walked towards the back room. After Zhang Sihu left, Zhang Yuan entered the bedroom and began to prepare hunting equipment, mainly single swords, short bows, feather arrows, mails, and several poisoned feather arrows, and finally a few silver. These silvers are essential, because every time the "crazy deer garden" requires 5 taels of silver.

After a while, Zhang Sihu returned to the courtyard with a bowl of Ten-Full Tonic Soup. At this time, Zhang Yuan had packed the items and placed them at the door of the bedroom. After a while, it was easy to use. Then he walked to the courtyard and said to Zhang Sihu: "Sihu, go busy, I don't have to serve you here."

"Yes, young master." Zhang Sihu said respectfully.

After Zhang Sihu left, Zhang Yuan picked up the soup on the stone table, took a deep breath, then drank the soup off, and then covered his head and burst into tears...

"Wuwuwu... his grandma, how courage does it take to drink this thing! My buddy's psychological quality is simply superman!" Zhang Yuan said to himself, wiping his tears.

Zhang Yuan wiped away his tears, stood up straight, adjusted his breathing, and then began to fight the ginseng fist, one move after another, over and over again...

When Zhang Yuan hit the 19th round of Shenhe Fist, he was no longer able to continue. Finally, he could only sit on the stone bench with breathing and observe the changes in the birthmark of the left hand and back. After less than 5 seconds of sitting down, the birthmark of the back of his hand flashed and then turned into red on the left and blue on the right.
