In an inn by Dongming Lake.
Chek Kok opened the window and looked at the color of the lake, feeling very comfortable.
“The area under the jurisdiction of the fourth government office is much better than the area under the jurisdiction of the second government office.”
Although the Tung Ming Lake seen here is not as vast as the peninsula, and is instead blocked by many mountains, the mountains and water are more romantic. Moreover, it faces the sea of people, faces the lake and water, and Chek Kok likes this place. , and even dreamed of saving enough money to take root here, and never leave that ghostly place in Yinshan again.
Chek Kok’s current state of mind is exactly that of a young man.
Many years later, when he really moved here, what he thought about most when he was old was not the days of broadening his horizons with Lord Shigeda, but returning to Yinshan Mountain and being buried in Yinshan Mountain!
But even this little wish cannot be realized.
Not only did his children and grandchildren grow up here and want to stay here, but Yinshan was also renovated and their ancestral tombs had to be moved. He moved the Louguan family’s ancestral tombs here to teach him how to go back.
But now, why should young men worry about their old wishes?
“This is the one, book it for three days first.” After Chek Kok told the store owner, he paid for three days’ rent. When the store owner left, he put down his backpack, pulled out the napping stone bird, and put it down respectfully. on the desktop.
I can’t be disrespectful.
Just casually, painting something is worth 50 million, it is simply a god!
“Bye, bye.” Chijiao bowed respectfully to Shiniao, and then packed up his things.
He recently bought a lot of personal items, especially clothes.
Ever since being discriminated against at Crystal Palace, he never wanted to feel that way again.
People rely on clothes. Although he doesn’t know how to match them to look luxurious, at least he shouldn’t be shabby.
“I heard that you can take a boat directly to the East China Sea. That is the real sea. It is countless times bigger than Dongming Lake. I don’t know how spectacular it is. But just having water is boring. This place is very good. There are mountains and mountains. Water, there are people…there are birds!” Chek Kok looked back at the stone bird and couldn’t help but smile.
Master Shigeda said that he would give him all the 1.5 million, and he only needed to buy the Mingwen book on the market. If there was a situation like the auction, Master Shigeda would naturally pay for it.
But to be precise, it should be the effort. Just a simple painting can bring countless money!
“Bye again, bye again!” Chek Kok started a new round of bird worship.
The view of the lake at night makes Chek Kok even more fascinating.
On the streets along the lake, lanterns of various colors wind like dragons with no end in sight.
The entire area under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Government Office is built along the east bank of Dongming Lake. There are mountains nearby. Like the two Yin Mountains, they are very close to each other and they are small and very delicate.
There are temples on nine of the mountains, dedicated to the nine gods in the Shenhui Palace.
You can tell which **** it is by the lights in the temple.
Although Chek Kok has not received orthodox preaching, he is a Dongming person after all. He knows that the purple light is the Purple Sun God, the red light is the Red Moon God, the yellow light is the Earth God, and the green light is the East Sea God. , the one with blue light is the **** of vegetation, and the one with pink light is the **** of marriage.
“I have to visit this temple of marriage.”
The remaining three temples are too far away to see clearly, and I have no intention of visiting them in Chek Kok.
Because these three gods are ancient gods, originating from the wilderness of Nanming, they are an ox, a sheep and a bird respectively.
The cow is a plowing cow, the sheep is a black sheep, and the bird, Red Horn, is not clear. I only heard that the royal family favored this god.
The reason for the first two kinds of red horns is also known. Farming is inseparable from cattle, and eating meat and clothing is inseparable from black sheep.
About birds, it is actually a royal secret. The ancestors of the Ziyuan family were miners, and they mostly mined on cliffs. If you dig too much, climbing will be difficult and extremely dangerous. If you dig too little, the supervisor will beat you to death.
At that time, there was a kind of bird in the valley. It was as big as a chicken and had reddish-brown feathers. Although it had no horns, the two eyebrow feathers on its head were like a crescent moon pointing toward the sky, looking like a pair of horns.
This bird builds its nest on the cliff. When miners encounter it, they often take away one or two eggs.
But that’s not why he became a god.
The real reason is that the ancestors of the Ziyuan family accidentally discovered that this bird is very powerful and can often catch prey similar to its size. They suddenly had the idea to train this bird to transport purple ore.
So I stole a bird egg, hatched it, raised it, and trained it for a year and finally put it to use.
The size of the excavated purple ore is usually not large, mostly about the size of a fist. The red-brown bird easily carried the ore to the top of the cliff without much effort.
After this incident, the trend of raising birds became popular. The miners only had one bird per person, and the family even raised a nest. From the time they were sensible, the main tasks of the children of the Ziyuan family were to feed, train, and keep the birds company.
Unfortunately, this tradition is gone.
Not because there is no need to dig a hole, but because of a tragic escape!
The miners were in such a hurry when they fled the wilderness that they couldn’t even take care of their own children, so how could they take care of the birds.
But everyone did not expect that this bird was so spiritual that it actually followed them all the way, circling in large groups above their heads. Based on this, the miners recovered their families one after another.
This shows the great contribution of this bird.
But the real tragedy has just begun!
In less than three days, everyone discovered that food was scarce on the escape route. If they didn’t eat birds, how could they eat people?
If you don’t eat, others will help you eat!
The red-brown birds they raise are not afraid of people. They like to rest next to people when they are tired from flying. It is not easy for refugees to catch them.
In this way, all the red-brown birds they raised became food to satisfy their hunger.
Although the Ziyuan family is powerful now, the wilderness is becoming more and more dangerous, and they have to travel through the Southern Ming Kingdoms. A large army cannot do it. As for arranging for a few people to go, they have already done it, and so far they have not gotten the red-brown bird. In vain, many masters were lost, including several direct descendants of the royal family.
Today, the descendants of the Ziyuan family can only see things and miss birds through a red-brown feathered garment enshrined in the ancestral temple.
Even if Chek Kok knows its deep meaning, he is not interested and only yearns for marriage.
Early the next morning, Chek Kok got ready and headed to the Marriage Temple.
Shiniao did not follow and stayed at the inn to study the Qingmu pattern.
This is convenient for Chek Kok, as you don’t have to carry a basket, mainly for those two boxes of green coins!
With Lord Shigeda here, who can steal it?
There are many girls seeking marriage, many of them beautiful and attractive, and all of them have flawless skin. They are not comparable to those rough girls they met when they were doing human trafficking.
Before, Chek Kok wanted to pick one to keep by his side and raise him to be his wife.
I have no such idea now.
After all, he is a millionaire, so he has to choose someone smart.
Unfortunately, the humbleness in his bones made his life in vain.
“It doesn’t work.” Chek Kok didn’t realize the problem!
Back at the inn, just after noon, I had a meal at Chek Kok, and then I took Mr. Shigeda to visit the bookstore.
When he arrived at a nearby bookstore, Chik Kok looked at the people gathered outside the store and couldn’t help but frown.
Although there are not many people, only a dozen or so, it is strange that the queuing craze for the fifth part of Nanming Travels has already passed. It would be even worse for the sixth part, because they are all girls, and they are not queuing, but crowded There was chattering at the door, and everyone’s little face was flushed with excitement.
“What’s going on?” Chek Kok stepped forward and asked a girl standing next to him, who was holding on to the shoulder of his best friend and looking around, “Little girl, has the sixth part of Travels to the South Ming been released?”
The girl stopped jumping when she heard this, turned to look at Chek Kok and said cheerfully: “Not yet, and I don’t know when it will be released. I’m so anxious.”
“Without you, this would be…” Red Kok pointed at the crowd curiously.
“It depends on you.” The girl smiled.
“Look at people? What’s so good about people?” Chijiao was confused.
“Oh, you don’t know, eh, it’s out, it’s out, ah!!!” The girl suddenly screamed, making Red Kok’s ears ring.
He stepped back a few steps and took a look, and was stunned.
He saw a woman who was even more shabby than he was before, and who was on par with the girls he had taken in. However, she had an unusually handsome face, which was incompatible with her clothes, and her hair was just He casually tied a high ponytail, his facial features without makeup are rougher, and his face is bigger, he is definitely a peerless handsome man!
But it is these extremely delicate and masculine facial features that make men fascinated by them!
It’s not hard to see even the red corner. As long as she slightly trims her eyebrows and puts on red lips, she will be a peerless beauty!
At the moment, there are many beauties around, but compared with her, she is like the stinky girl next to everyone’s ladies, which makes people completely uninterested.
Looking at this woman, even if she doesn’t look at her face, her tall curves hidden by her extremely simple clothes are extremely attractive, especially her hands and slightly slender neck, which are slender and fair, and so beautiful that it makes people dizzy.
While Chi Kok was staring blankly at the woman, the woman had already come to his side and seemed to glance at him inadvertently.
Chek Kok’s whole body felt numb. In a moment of astonishment, the woman was already holding a set of travel notes to Nanming, and was gradually walking away surrounded by a group of women.
He still stared blankly, unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.
