Su Yuanyuan and Yang Xiuwen hadn't returned to Linhe Village for fifteen years, but when they returned to the village, there were still people who knew them, and they were surrounded when they reached the village entrance!
"You are Miss Su? This...is this Xiuwen?"
"Hey, Miss Su is still the same as before, but Xiuwen is not that thin and thin at all, she seems to be a different person."
"Isn't that right? Yang Xiuwen, are you rich?"
"Miss Su, do you still tell people's fortunes? What do you think of my house? Is our village clean?"
More and more villagers found them and gathered around them, all of them were very enthusiastic, but they couldn't remember these people clearly. Although the two of them are in their thirties, but because of their cultivation, they look like they are in their early twenties, which is not much different from before. Others are different. The life in the village is hard. In the past fifteen years, some It's hard to recognize that everyone's seniority has risen.
Su Yuanyuan looked around and saw no ghosts at noon, so she smiled and said, "I just came back, and I don't know how the village is going, I'll walk around to help you have a look later."
Someone asked her: "Miss Su, are you planning to stay here for a long time when you come back this time? Or should you just take a look and leave?"
"Do you want to do something?"
Su Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Let's take a look and leave. I haven't come back for so long. Xiuwen wants to repair the grave for his parents and pay homage to him."
A man next to Yang Xiuwen said: "It should be repaired. Your elder brother doesn't care about your parents at all. I haven't seen him pay homage to him for so many years. Grass is growing on your parents' graves."
His wife pinched him, and said in a low voice, "You're the one who talks too much, shut up and hurry up!"
The others were also quiet for a moment. The former grandson of Lizheng is now the son of Xinlizheng. His grandfather has passed away, and the seat has been passed on to his father. He looked at Yang Xiuwen and asked cautiously, "Uncle Yang, are you looking for Yang Fan when you come back this time?"
Yang Xiuwen observed everyone's expressions without any trace, and found that it was not very good. He shook his head and said, "I didn't want to look for him on purpose. After all, I had already severed the relationship at the beginning, and now I don't plan to see him again. I don't think everyone likes him very much. Why? Did he cause trouble in the village?"
Lizheng's son said with an ugly face, "Uncle Yang, you should be fine if you don't associate with him! You don't know, after you left, people began to come to the village to inquire about you at the beginning. At first, people didn't know. What's going on, naturally I dare not talk nonsense, Yang Fan was questioned by many people because he is your brother, he poured dirty water on you with nonsense, the people who came here seemed to believe it, and gave him a lot of money."
The man next to him interjected, "That's right, Yang Fan sold his original house and built a very impressive house in the village with fifty taels of silver. The blue-brick house is very bright. He walks with his nostrils upturned and looks down on us." He also said that if the girl of the family does not marry him, she is blind. Sooner or later, he will go to live at the feet of the emperor and marry a lady from everyone. At that time, he did nothing every day. It seems that you are enjoying yourself."
His wife pinched him again and glared at him, "Why is there smoke coming from the ancestral grave? Shut up if you can't speak!"
His wife pushed him aside and smiled at Yang Xiuwen: "Yang Fan hasn't had a good life for a few days, and he's only been playing for a while, and another outsider came to the village, calling him a liar, and saying that you are very capable outside. Became Daoist Yuan's apprentice, amazing. Then I found out that you had severed ties with Yang Fan. You were so angry that you tore down his house, broke his leg, and took away all the money he spent. Yang Fan All of a sudden, he became a pauper, without even a decent place to live, and he couldn't afford money to heal his legs, and became a lame man."
A woman said: "Yang Fan later moved to my house, a dilapidated thatched cottage, and he lived there. He has gone out a few times over the years, but it is a pity that every time he comes back in despair. Sometimes I saw him talking on his own, and I really felt that he was not normal, but he didn't look like he was crazy. Anyway, he always liked to talk to himself and lose his temper there. He tossed about for two or three years, He was skinny and skinny, but he couldn’t go out, so he started playing tricks again, saying that he could see ghosts and tell fortunes for us, hey, my house was so close to him, I was terrified at first, but who knows? It's a lie!"
"A liar?" Su Yuanyuan glanced at Yang Xiuwen in surprise, then Yang Fan really can see ghosts, how did he become a liar
"Isn't it just a lie? One time when the old lady of the old Li's family was on the seventh day, Yang Fan said that he saw the old lady came back, and said that the old lady was very bad, so he asked the old Li's family to buy more offerings to worship and so on. A lot of things to be prepared made the old Li's family feel dizzy, so they simply decided to give him the money and let him help. It was the old lady's relatives who didn't believe it, and had to ask Yang Fan to prove it, so they exposed his identity. lie!"
"Yes, I remember this. It was very quiet that night until dawn, and the candle didn't even flicker. How could it look like an old lady came back? Besides, Yang Fan couldn't prove anything. Isn't this a lie? I remember When Ms. Su was there, any house that had ghosts felt chilly, but the old Li's house didn't feel anything that day. Later, Yang Fan said anything, and we all made up our minds to ask him to prove it. If he couldn't prove it, it must be false. "
"He never proved it once in these years. He is a liar at all. The most disgusting thing is that he couldn't cheat us of our money, and actually went to the ancestral hall to steal the offerings after we worshiped our ancestors! We were so angry... just... "
Having said this, the speaker suddenly stopped, looked left and right, and did not continue. Lizheng's son looked at Yang Xiuwen and said, "Uncle Yang, don't blame us. Yang Fan's behavior is too bad. He disrespected the ancestors of our village. There is absolutely no room for him in our village, so we beat him up at that time." Dun immediately drove him out of the village and did not allow him to come back. After all, he has been away for seven or eight years.”
Yang Xiuwen showed a gentle smile, and comforted them: "It's okay, you are doing the right thing, don't care about my thoughts, I have nothing to do with him anymore."
Su Yuanyuan also smiled, "Don't worry, everyone, how could we forgive him when he treated Xiuwen so badly back then? We have nothing to do with whether he lives well or not."
"That's good, that's good." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all smiled and talked about other things.
Su Yuanyuan and the others had a meal at Lizheng's house, and then went to worship Yang Xiuwen's parents. They removed the weeds from the grave, and then Yang Xiuwen found a place with good Fengshui nearby, bought it with Lizheng and asked someone to repair a stone grave. Three days later, Yang Xiuwen calculated the timing and moved a new grave for his parents. When no one was paying attention, he erected two tombs in it, which belonged to the two brothers of the Yang family.
Both of their brothers are actually dead, but outsiders don't know it yet, and now they have reunited their family of four. I hope they will meet again in the next life if they are destined.
After finishing these, Yang Xiuwen wanted to do a fortune telling for Yang Fan to see how he is doing now. As a result, what Bu calculated was the original Yang Fan's fate, not the time-traveled Yang Fan's fate. He didn't know the date of birth of Yang Fan who crossed, so he had no choice but to give up, not knowing where Yang Fan went.
Su Yuanyuan thought for a while, and carefully worded the words to the audience in the live broadcast room and asked: [Has someone increased his fans over the years? Has it become a popular anchor?][Jinli: No, how is it possible? We complained to him when we had nothing to do, and he was warned many times, and he was given yellow cards, red cards and so on.][What are yellow cards and red cards? ] It was the first time Su Yuanyuan heard of such a thing, so she couldn't help but turn to the rules of use of the live broadcast room to find the answer.
[Pink hair: These cards represent punishment, the light ones are warnings, the serious ones will deduct interstellar coins, and the most serious ones will seal the account and close the live broadcast room.][Jinli: Huh? Did Yang Fan do something that was not allowed to be broadcast live, and was severely punished to close the live broadcast room?][Pink hair: This is unlikely, Miss Sister and their live broadcast room seem to automatically block privacy, and Miss Sister beat the ghosts to death without warning, which shows that the live broadcast room is very tolerant to them, which is different from other live broadcast rooms.][Jinli: Then I don’t know. Anyway, I occasionally go to Yang Fan’s side to take a look, and I find that his fans are getting less and less. Later, there are only some zombie fans. No one talks and just hangs up. Afterwards, no one seemed to watch him. Who would love to watch him? He was sloppy and nothing to look at.][Blue Star: Miss, I just posted a question. Before Yang Fan’s live broadcast room was closed, no one watched him anymore, so I don’t know what’s going on. I only know that the last few people who watched him said , He is so useless, with high eyesight and low hands, looks down on others, always wants to steal things to fill his stomach, stares at beautiful girls, even being teased and frightened by ghosts all day, he probably has no interstellar coins, otherwise it would not be so miserable.]Su Yuanyuan was thoughtful, [Thank you, his live broadcast room is closed, we don't seem to have to talk about him in circles. I just found out that not a single word we said was blocked. We couldn't say that before, right?][Pink hair: Yes, yes, it's amazing, maybe he disappeared completely?]The sentence "disappeared completely" made Su Yuanyuan suddenly realize that the live broadcast room is Yang Fan's golden finger. She just read the rules and didn't see that there will be a penalty for closing the live broadcast room. Then under what circumstances will Yang Fan's live broadcast room be closed? ? It is very likely that Yang Fan is dead!
When he died, his golden finger would naturally disappear!
Su Yuanyuan found two ghosts in Linhe Village, and asked them about Yang Fan seeing ghosts. They all said that at the beginning, two or three ghosts were tricked by Yang Fan to help him, but the ghosts had heard that Yang Fan was unreliable. , so they have to exchange at equal value, who knows that Yang Fan can't help them or catch them at all, so they naturally turn to play tricks on Yang Fan.
At first, Yang Fan said that he would find Taoist priests to arrest them, but they were a little scared. Later, they saw that Yang Fan was starving to death, and he went out several times without bringing back a Taoist priest, so no one was afraid of him anymore, and his name was publicized. Let him never lie to ghosts again.
Su Yuanyuan was even more sure of her guess when she heard the words. A person who relied too much on the golden finger not only lost the role of the golden finger, but also had a great psychological impact on herself because of the golden finger. One wrong step, one wrong step, if he is determined, he can throw everything away and start again, but with his character, I am afraid that the ending will only be miserable and desolate to the point of death.
Su Yuanyuan told Yang Xiuwen her speculation, and Yang Xiuwen also thought it was very possible. Anyway, when they came back this time, they just wanted to know why Yang Xiuwen's live broadcast room was closed, and if there was any major change. Since they knew that Yang Xiuwen couldn't make any trouble, there was no need to go to him.
The two donated two hundred taels of silver to Linhe Village, and built a bridge over the river so that the villagers could go directly to Lin Town, making it easier to enter and exit for business. While the villagers cheered and celebrated, they left Linhe Village.
The world here is actually very different from the Tang Dynasty in history. They have written many books in the past ten years, covering various subjects from basic to advanced. Except for the content that this dynasty cannot understand, almost everything else is written. up. The greatest benefit to the people is naturally medical skills. Not to mention how many people can be saved by the improved medical skills of doctors, but those small folk remedies that have been spread have also helped many ordinary people.
Medicine is also the only knowledge that is not restricted by the imperial court. The more people who learn it, the better it is for the imperial court. The second is mathematics. The most basic mathematics has been popularized by the public. Now children in the countryside will memorize number songs when they play. The common people are good at accounting, it is easier to find work, and it is not easy to be cheated, and all the shops are replaced with a much simpler accounting method, and the accounting is clearer.
However, other knowledge was restricted and promoted by the imperial court, and almost all the people could understand were the most basic things. The more advanced ones are mastered by the imperial court, and talents who are good at various subjects are recruited to study them, and the result of the research determines whether the result should be used or not. Especially chemistry, cannot let the people master the skills of making things.
But even with the restrictions imposed by the imperial court, so much advanced knowledge has made extraordinary changes to the country. Fifteen years of subtle changes, the number of illiterates who don't know anything has decreased a lot. Even if they don't know how to read, they still know a little bit of knowledge. After all, the imperial court is promoting teaching. Yang Xiuwen knew very little about agriculture, but when he was the emperor, there was a time-traveling woman who was an agricultural college student, and she studied several methods of improving farming and raising livestock and poultry throughout her life.
Although he hadn't tried it himself, he had seen those methods and remembered them in his heart. After gaining the trust of Li Shimin ten years ago, he wrote down those methods and offered them up, but he did not understand how to practice them. After Li Shimin sent people to study, he spread the most suitable method to the whole country. After so many years, the yield per mu in the field has doubled, and the poultry and livestock are getting better and better. Most of these credits are attributed to Yang Xiuwen on the head.
In terms of medical skills, everyone knows that Su Yuanyuan wrote medical books. So besides the two of them being well-known in Taoism, in the hearts of all the people, they are also their great benefactors. Not everyone believes in those nagging things, and not everyone will encounter them, and there are still a few who have problems. But food and medical treatment are things that are closely related to everyone. These two aspects have improved everyone's life. The two of them are also grateful to everyone and recorded in history.
Because they have to go down the mountain to practice every six months, many people know them. Even if they have never seen them, they know their habitual dress and iconic carriage. Once it is confirmed that it is them, they must be very respectful. And they want to help more people, so naturally they can't be as low-key as Master. They simply don't hide their identities, so that all people or ghosts who want to ask them for help can know their tracks in the first place.
But this also has a disadvantage, that is, the bad guys also know their tracks.
A Taoist priest who had been defeated by Yang Xiuwen heard that they were going down the mountain, so he directly summoned six Taoist priests who also refused to accept them, and came to surround and teach them a lesson. This Taoist priest was Qing Yunzi, and he knew that Su Yuanyuan was better at kung fu, so he specially sent a ghost to pretend to be a victim to lure Su Yuanyuan away, and then surrounded Yang Xiuwen with six Taoist priests.
Yang Xiuwen didn't even frown, just glanced at them, and said lightly: "A few fellow Taoists have come from afar, I don't know why?"
Qing Yunzi walked across to him with a sneer, raised his sword and pointed at him, "Naturally, there is resentment for resentment, revenge for revenge! Yang Xiuwen, you humiliated me a year ago, did you expect to fall into my hands one day? Today, It's your unlucky day!"
Only then did Yang Xiuwen take a closer look at him, thinking for a moment and said: "So it was you. If I remember correctly, I found out that a little ghost you raised privately devoured lonely souls and wild ghosts a year ago, and I subdued that little ghost. You tried to snatch it but failed, and you were bitten by the little devil, and escaped with serious injuries. From the beginning to the end, when did I ever humiliate you? And when did I ever do anything wrong?"
He looked at the other six Taoist priests and asked, "Would you still want to deal with me with him after knowing the cause and effect?"
Several people looked at each other and stared at Yang Xiuwen without flinching. They were more or less spoiled by Yang Xiuwen and his wife, some directly, some indirectly, otherwise they wouldn't come together to make trouble. At this point, it's a showdown anyway, of course it's a one-on-one fight, Yang Xiuwen's kung fu is far worse than Su Yuanyuan's, how long will it be if he doesn't fight at this time
Seeing this, Qing Yunzi became more confident, shouted, and charged forward with the sword in his hand!
"Yang Xiuwen! You can't run away!"
The other six drew their swords one after another and attacked Yang Xiuwen from different directions.
Yang Xiuwen's kung fu is indeed not as good as Su Yuanyuan's, but it's not something that seven of them can defeat. He circled among the seven of them, and quickly found the person with the weakest skill. Using that person as a breakthrough, he was the first to knock that person out. Seven people fell down to one person, and the momentum suddenly weakened. Qing Yunzi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Everyone, don't be distracted, you can't beat him one-on-one, and you must work together. Form an array! Seven kills array!"
"Seven Kill Formation? Is this...too much?" Some people hesitated. The Seven Kill Formation is very powerful. Once it takes shape, it will be difficult for those trapped in it to escape, and they will be seriously injured if they don't die. Looking at Yang Xiuwen's skills, they are enough to make him seriously injured and disabled. This is different from the lesson I said at the beginning!
The person who had just been beaten back hurriedly said, "If the husband and wife continue to be arrogant, will there still be room for us? Don't forget why we came. The husband and wife are clearly meddling in their own business, so let them stay. Sooner or later, the Xuanmen will be destroyed."
Yang Xiuwen snorted coldly, "How dare you call yourself a Taoist sect? Absurd!"
"Set up the formation! Don't delay any longer!" Qing Yunzi and Yang Xiuwen were completely on opposite sides, and immediately shouted angrily again.
This time, the six people no longer hesitated, and retreated to different directions one after another, and began to form formations.
How could Yang Xiuwen make them succeed so easily? While he was looking for a weaker fight, he moved his steps without a trace, each footprint followed a certain pattern, and soon he walked out a complicated step among the seven. The seven people were in a hurry to set up the formation, and no one noticed. When they were all standing in the position of the Seven Kills Formation, they saw Yang Xiuwen standing in the middle of the Seven Kills Formation relaxedly, taking a jasper fan pendant from the folding fan, and casually dropped it on the ground.
At that moment, the scene in front of them all changed! The seven people looked around nervously and panicked. There were lonely ghosts everywhere. There was no one but themselves. They couldn't remember why they were here. At this moment, they instinctively raised their swords and killed the wild ghosts around!
