Chapter 34 Poems
Because it is located in the Poyang Lake area, there are no high mountains around Lianhu Township. The mountain the old man of Yin family refers to is a small hill that is only about fifty meters high.
The entire hillside has been reclaimed by the villagers, and you can see farmland along the way. However, because it is a mountainous area, some drought-resistant vegetables are planted, mainly potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Before going up the mountain, Su Chen saw three or four wooden houses, and the distance between them was not particularly far.
"Mr. Su, these wooden houses were built by people in the town. In the early years, there were many animals in the mountains, as well as wild boars, and they would come out to the fields to harm plants at night, so the villagers simply built wooden houses on this mountain to watch the night. If wild boars and the like came, it would be easy to drive them away."
Yin Li also explained the role of these wooden houses to Su Chen when he took Su Chen to the mountain.
"But over the years, people have rarely farmed, and only the elderly have grown some vegetables to eat at home. Most of the fields on the mountain are abandoned. Even if there are planting, the owner will not be so careful about cooking, so they come up to hoe some weeds and apply fertilizer."
Yin Li continued while introducing, "Climbing the mountain, you can see the wooden house where Master Xiao lives on the other side of the mountain. I have only been here once, but I came with my grandfather several years ago."
When she said this, Yin Li Miaomu looked at Su Chen with a little curious. She didn't know what Mr. Su had talked with her grandfather. Grandpa suddenly gave her a key and asked her to take Mr. Su to Master Xiao's wooden house.
"The other side of the mountain is facing Poyang Lake."
Su Chen looked at the direction and couldn't see Poyang Lake from here because he was blocked by the mountain. After a few minutes, he walked to the top of the mountain and could look down at the water surface of Poyang Lake in front. The vast Poyang Lake could not even be seen at all.
There are two wooden houses below the mountain, but compared to the simple wooden houses built by the villagers, these two wooden houses are much more exquisite, and there is also a stone-studded courtyard wall.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
When Su Chen and Yin were still more than 20 meters away from the wooden house, the barking of dogs came from the yard.
"This is a wolf dog raised by my fifth uncle. My grandfather said he was afraid that a thief would come to Master Xiao's wooden house to steal things, so he specifically asked my fifth uncle to lock the wolf dog in the yard to guard the gate."
Yinli used the key to open the wooden door of the yard, and a yellow figure quickly rushed out and jumped directly to Yinli. The huge momentum made Yinli stagger and fall toward the back.
Seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly reached out and grabbed Yin Li's arm, so that the other party did not fall down.
"Mr. Su, thank you."
Yin Li felt the warmth from his arms, his pretty face turned slightly red, and then he looked at the wolf dog that was constantly biting his tail under his feet, and said unhappily: "Dudu, you almost made me fall."
Wow wool wool.
Dudu shouted at Yinli a few times to express his grievance, but when the dog's eyes moved to Su Chen, the dog suddenly pawed his front paws and his whole body was lying down. This was the posture of all the dogs before attacking.
"Dudu, this is Mr. Su, not an outsider."
Seeing this scene, Yinli quickly reached out to touch Dudu's dog's head, trying to calm Dudu down, but strangely, Dudu ran away and ran a few meters away, roaring at Su Chen.
"Is this feeling the yin energy on my body?"
Su Chen was not surprised by the wolf dog's performance. Although the Yin Qi in his body cannot be seen by practitioners because of the God of Joy, the dog is different. The dog's nose is very flexible, and it is probably because he smelled the Yin Qi emitted from his body.
Dogs are very sensitive to various scents, such as in the middle of the night, some dogs bark for no reason because they smell strange or special scents.
However, it is very simple to deal with this type of dog. Su Chen no longer restrains the breath on his body. The yin energy in his body is released. The wolf dog's eyes have changed, from being lying down to lying down. His eyes at Su Chen are filled with fear, and even choking sounds are made in his mouth.
"It's okay, let's go in."
Yinli saw Dudu lying on the ground so obediently that he didn't even dare to move. His eyes at Su Chen were full of curiosity. What she was curious about was what Mr. Su did, which actually made Dudu so scared.
After the two walked into the yard, Yinli took out another key and opened the door of the wooden house. He pushed open the tomb door and a creaking sound came. However, the hygiene inside the house was a bit beyond Su Chen's expectations. There was not much dust. It was obviously someone cleaned it up regularly.
In addition, Su Chen also smelled a scent of mothballs, which are mainly used for anti-corrosion and insect-proofing. After all, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains. If there are no protective measures, even the furniture will be edible by insects.
There are no electric lights in the house, but there is a kerosene lamp and a flashlight on the table. The whole thing is very simple. There is only a table and a few stools in the hall. Inside is a wooden bed, but there is a door connected to the left.
Seeing Su Chen walking towards the door, Yin Li introduced: "This is Master Xiao's study. The things left by Master Xiao are all here. My grandfather will ask his uncle and others to come to clean every week."
Pushing open the study, what caught Su Chen's eyes was a desk filled with thread-bound books. On the desk in front of the bookshelf, there was a brush holder with more than a dozen brushes on it, followed by an inkstone and rice paper laid under the inkstone.
"Mr. Su, you can find any information you want to find. I'll feed Dudu."
Although she didn't know what Mr. Su had talked with her grandfather, since her grandfather asked her to bring Mr. Su here, it was obviously for the books in Master Xiao's study. As a college student, she doesn't like to be disturbed by others when she goes to the library to look up information, so she doesn't want to disturb Mr. Su at this time.
"Miss Yin is the only one who can do it."
Su Chen nodded with a smile. After walking into the study, he glanced at the thread-bound books on the bookshelf. Most of these books were printed in the 1980s and were all traditional Chinese, with Feng Shui books as the most. As for fortune telling and reading photos, there were only one or two books.
"This Master Xiao should only be good at fortune telling and does not understand Feng Shui very much. He should have found these books to learn."
After roughly reading these books, Su Chen made a rough judgment on Master Xiao’s ability, and the reason why he came to such a conclusion was very simple.
At that age of Master Xiao, he must have been successful in his 1960s and 1970s. If he really wants to understand Feng Shui, why should he read these books printed in the 1980s and 1990s?
What's more, these Feng Shui books are divided into several schools. The book "Geographical Luantou Jue" obviously comes from the Luantou School, which is Feng Shui of Yang Gong, and the book "Twenty-Four-Types of Definition" belongs to the Sanhe School, and the "Flying Star Nine Acupoints" belongs to the Xuankong School.
Generally, I read books from various Feng Shui schools, and there are only two types of people. One is a beginner who reads everything if you don’t know where to start, and the other is a great person who needs to integrate the theories of other schools and integrate them.
If Master Xiao was a Earth Master and had reached the realm of integrating multiple theories, he would not have waited until he died before the Earth Crown was born. At this level, the Earth Master would naturally have a way to obtain the Earth Crown in advance.
Su Chen guessed that the biggest possibility was that Master Xiao discovered the existence of the Earth Crown, and then collected these Feng Shui books, and wanted to find out whether there was a way to obtain the Earth Crown in advance.
My eyes moved away from the bookshelf and fell on the desk. The rice paper pressed by the inkstone was not blank. The first rice paper contained two lines of poetry.
"From ten miles to enter Poyang, the lake is full of light, and the light shines on the Taixu. Dead trees have roots and thousands of branches, and the fragrance is strong when there is no one in the empty temple. Looking back and forth, looking back at the real wonders, and seeing through the universe has no wonderful methods."
There is another hour and name below this poem: the year of Kuiyou, Xinyou, I am inspired by Xiao Shengxing. (The second supporting role appears to meet his requirements: the protagonist is promoted.)
The first and the last two lines of this poem are easy to understand in Su Chen's opinion, but the middle sentence is a bit obscure and difficult to understand. The first sentence describes the scenery, and the last sentence should be related to the earthen mulberry.
Because Master Xiao passed away before Miss Yin was born, it is estimated that it has been at least twenty years, so the year of Kuiyou should refer to the 1990s.
"According to what the old man from Yin family said, Master Xiao died in 1996. If you push it up, the year of Kuiyou refers to 1993. That is to say, at least before 1993, Master Xiao discovered the earth crown. This sentence has no wonderful method to see through the universe. It should refer to him that he discovered the ground, but he could not get the earth crown, which led to this poem."
Of course, this is just Su Chen’s own speculation. Whether this poem means this is impossible to determine. The most important thing now is the meaning of these two sentences in the middle, "The dead tree has roots and grows thousands of branches" and "There is no one in the empty temple and the fragrance is also prosperous."
However, Su Chen was not in a hurry. He just took a rough look. There were many notes left by Master Xiao on the table, which should be rewarding.
Thinking of this, Su Chen looked at Yin Li, who was about to sweep the spider web outside, who was about to broom and clean the eaves. This girl was quite bold and capable. Normal girls were most afraid of these spiders and insects, so how dare they do these things?
"Miss Yin, you go down the mountain first, I'll spend the night here tonight."
Yin Li just got off the spider web, and when he heard Su Chen's words, he asked in surprise: "Mr. Su, it's been a long time since there has been no quilts..."
"It's okay. Sometimes it's normal for people in our vocation to sleep in the open. I can take advantage of the evening to study the notes left by Master Xiao."
After hearing Su Chen say this, Yin Li didn't say anything else. Most people would definitely not dare to live alone in a wooden house on the mountain overnight, but a master like Mr. Su is definitely not afraid.
"I'll deliver you food at night."
Su Chen looked at the sky, it was already a little dim, and replied, "It is not convenient for you, a girl, to go up the mountain at night, so let's ask the man to give it to me."
"It's okay, I'll call my companion."
"Then please trouble Miss Yin."
