"Zheng Qiuyuan will definitely do something, but the time is not yet ripe, we're here early." Lian Dao really said with certainty.
"It's been so many days, what is he waiting for?" I asked puzzled.
Lian Dao really thought about it, and then said uncertainly: "Perhaps, I am waiting for the day of worship."
"Memorial Day?"
"Didn’t I tell you before that there may be a god under the mountain where it is said that Taohuayuan might be pressed down. It is said that this festival originated from that god. In order not to let the gods get angry and collapse Taohuayuan, people in the mountains will worship once a year. This is a unique festival in Taohuayuan, and it should be in these two days." Lian Daozhen explained.
"It sounds reasonable, but why should he wait for a holiday?" I was even more puzzled.
Lian Daozhen said, "I don't know about this. After all, he is Zheng Qiuyuan, one of the few insidious villains in the mountains."
Hearing it, Lien Daozhen still hates Zheng Qiuyuan. I hesitated for a while, and then asked: "That old Zheng..."
Speaking of Mr. Zheng, Lian Daozhen fell silent immediately. After a long time, he opened his mouth and spit out a string of words with obvious memories, and said: "I said that I entered the Taohuayuan because I felt that something was here. Although he found the entrance by accident at that time, But the people in the mountains were very alert. Even though I was just a child, I was still beaten to death by them."
I screamed, and said angrily: "Even children beat so hard, Peach Blossom Spring is really impersonal."
Lian Daozhen sighed and ignored my indignation. Instead, he continued: "If it weren't for Mr. Zheng, then I might really be beaten to death by them. Mr. Zheng was not the old man at the time, he was about the same as me now. I am a person who looks very kind at any time. In the past 40 years, I have seen Zheng Lao have the biggest temper, but it was at that time. When he saw me being viciously beaten by the mountain people At that time, he waved his fists and angrily and drove them away. He said a word at that time, and I still remember it clearly."
Lian Dao really paused, as if something was brewing, and as if he was about to catch his breath. After a while, he said: "Old Zheng told the mountain people at that time that Taohuayuan is not a wolf's den, but a tiger's den. The hunter wants to come in and pick up the tiger cubs. , We ate him. But a lamb came in to find milk, you don’t have to give it, why bother to be a tiger and wolf!"
I couldn't help clapping my hands in applause, and said, "No wonder you respect Elder Zheng so much. He is indeed a sensible person just like you said."
Lien Daozhen lay flat on the ground, unable to nod, and said, "Unfortunately, there are too few people in the mountains like him. That time, Mr. Zheng insisted on taking me in despite the opposition of the people in the mountains. Zheng Qiuyuan was about the same age as me. At that time, he was not like he is now, he became as sinister and vicious as he is now, and this is partly because of me."
I snorted, confused, Zheng Qiuyuan's insidiousness really has something to do with Lien Dao
Lian Daozhen did not explain this problem first, but continued: "The people in the mountains are too xenophobic. Mr. Zheng's actions are undoubtedly doing the right thing with Taohuayuan. Therefore, even if he became the elder Zong for his great deeds, he can truly respect him. He loves him, believes him, and there are only a handful of them. Because of me, Mr. Zheng has become the least prestigious elder in Taohuayuan. This time I left the mountain, he also said to me, work hard and be patient, one day, The people in the mountains will really understand me. But I didn't expect that once I left the mountain, it would be a goodbye. I didn't even see him for the last time."
Lian Daozhen’s words were full of sorrow, and I sighed with him, and then said, "Do you suspect that Zheng Qiuyuan killed Elder Zheng?"
"There was indeed a moment, I thought so." Lian Daozhen said, "But then I thought it was unlikely. Although Zheng Qiuyuan was not a good person, he was not so bad that such people and gods were angry. Old Zheng's. Suddenly passing away, there should be another hidden story."
"and so… "
"I know they won't let me investigate Zheng Lao's affairs, so I thought about it and had to go through the five levels. After I passed it, I lived, and I got what I wanted."
"If you haven't, you will meet Old Zheng underground and serve him again." I added.
Lian Dao really didn't deny it. In fact, up to now, both of us know exactly what the so-called five passes represent. Lian Dao is really not a fool, he understands how dangerous it is to go through the five levels without relying on external force. However, he chose to go. In addition to wanting to take the opportunity to stay, he might not have the thought of seeking death.
Some people may think that this kind of thinking is not normal, but in fact, when you find that your family members who have lived for decades are worse to you than a dog, and the old man who is closest to you suddenly passed away. A huge mental blow is enough to make people do many stupid things.
However, understanding belongs to understanding. I really cannot agree with this approach.
Therefore, I was very polite and said to Lian Daozhen: "Everyone is dead, everyone knows, just as the infamous French emperor Louis XV said, after I die, no matter what the flood is. But do you think about it? Live and live, you can do more meaningful things. I have watched a TV show before, and there is a character’s motto in it, which is, live well, live well, is meaningful. I think this sentence is very reasonable , After all, in this world, except for life and death, everything else is trivial."
Lian Dao Zhen hummed, and said unexpectedly: "This time I came alive, I just figured out the truth. But I didn't expect that you are young, earlier than I understood."
I was silent. Although I was young, my life had undergone such a huge change in just a few weeks, and it was hard to imagine.
After a while, I saw Lian Dao really didn't speak, and asked, "What are you going to do now? Can you recover immediately? After a long time, I'm afraid they will find out."
"Don't be afraid, they won't come." Lian Daozhen said.
"Oh? How do you know?"
"Zheng Qiuyuan knows very well that I am here to save Taohuayuan and there is no reinforcement behind him. Therefore, Ge Zong will be wary of me, but Zheng Qiuyuan will not. Moreover, I saw how much Zheng Qiuyuan took care of you before. Misunderstanding your identity. If that's the case, he won't bother easily." Lian Daozhen explained.
"So you think so too." I laughed and said, "It seems that this misunderstanding is not all bad."
"Although my injury can be healed, it will take some time. I am afraid it will not be able to keep up with the worship day." Ren Daozhen said with some worry: "If Zheng Qiuyuan really intends to do anything on that day...
"Are you still going to save them?" I said angrily: "They are all unscrupulous people, they have made you into this look, why do you still want to help?"
Ren Dao was silent for a while, and sighed after a long time, "Just like you said... Even if there is no human touch here, it is my home after all..."
I know that he is not a person who is easily persuaded, and he simply doesn't say much about this matter.
At this time, Lian Daozhen suddenly said: "I heard you say before, if I can survive, you will immediately kowtow to apprentice?"
"I rubbed it! There is a mouse the size of a wild boar over there! You lie down, I will chase it away, otherwise, what should I do if I bite you!"
"..."
Lian Dao really saw that I was not very happy and didn't get too entangled in this matter. He only said, "If you want to catch a mouse, stay away from me and keep silent. Listening to you can really make people alive. ."
I chuckled and felt embarrassed. However, I have never experienced the matter of kowtow and apprenticeship. Apart from my parents, I have never knelt down in my life. I always feel that kneeling casually is a very shameful thing.
After that, as Lien Daozhen said, no one came to bother us. The stone house seems to be isolated from the world. If it hadn't been for the small window above to keep transmitting light, I would have thought that I had been quietly moved into an extinct ravine.
After Lian Dao really became conscious, his injuries recovered fairly well. He could be treated every one or two hours. Looking at the progress of the treatment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to restore to the original state within three or two days.
According to his own statement, it was because the injury was too serious. Although there is my blood to activate the Wudiquan, it lacks blood energy and can only take it slowly. Fortunately, the environment of Taohuayuan is very good. Wudiquan can extract the rich qi here to speed up the progress of the treatment. Otherwise, if you lie down for another ten days, you will at most grow your two thighs. (End of this chapter)
