Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 68
The generals of Chu and Mo Xie made swords for the king of Chu, and it took three years.Wang Nu wanted to kill him.There are male and female swords.His wife gave birth again...

The story of Ganjiang Moxie, which was once included in the classical Chinese texts in Chinese textbooks, is from "Sou Shen Ji", Xie Duan naturally knows it.

Ganjiang Moxie and his wife are deeply affectionate and fascinating. Mei Jianchi sacrificed his life to avenge his father and resist the tyrannical rule of the king of Chu.

It's just that in the end, the king of Chu, Mei Jianchi, and the chivalrous men all died. This is also the origin of the "Tomb of the Three Kings" in later generations.

The whereabouts of Ganjiang Moxie's two peerless swords have also been unknown since then. Now thousands of years have passed, how could they appear in Yanpingjin?
Xie Duan has no way of knowing what happened afterward, but these two swords are ancient swords, and they can also induce the induction of yin and yang talismans.

So he simply found a long piece of cloth, wrapped the two swords completely, and tied a hemp rope to the two ends, and carried it on his back. As for the secret hidden in the sword, it can only be explored later .

It's a pity that I don't know swordsmanship, which is a pity.

……

Seven days later, the merchant ship arrived in Wujun smoothly.

Xie Duan and Mo Shiren thanked each other and broke up.

Wu County and Linhai County are neighboring counties, and this place is not far from Houguan County. The two places happen to be next to each other, which can be regarded as border counties.

Xie Duan used the magic movement technique and arrived within half a day.

The place where the original owner was born is here, and the place where I was born is also here. Everything started from here. Thinking of the flood a year ago, the memory is still fresh, as if it was just yesterday.

Xie Duan went straight into the city and raised his eyes to look around.

After a year of precipitation, a lot of people's livelihood has been restored. The houses that were destroyed by the flood were built again, and the shops on both sides of the street were reopened.

Listening to the accents around him, Xie Duan felt mixed feelings.

Relying on his impression of Houguan County, Xie Duan came to Ping'er Lane, Xuedao Street, walked along the road into the alley, and looked around. Although it looked dilapidated and desolate, fortunately, there was still smoke and fire in the world.

After the flood, most of the buildings in Ping'er Lane were washed away, only a few high-rise green brick buildings survived. Now in Ping'er Lane, many houses have been rebuilt, adding a little vitality.

"Xie Jia Erlang? Isn't this Xie Jia Erlang?"

Stepping into the middle of the alley, a woman was walking towards him with a vegetable basket in her right hand and a child in her left hand. When she saw him, she was a little surprised at first, then looked at him carefully, and blurted out.

"But Aunt Hong Jiao?"

Hearing such a cry, Xie Duan also turned his eyes to look at her.

This woman is also surnamed Xie, her name is Hong Jiao, and she is of the same family as Xie.

In Xuedao Street, Houguan County, people with the surname Xie accounted for most of them.

"Oh! It's really Erlang back."

After getting the confirmation, Xie Hongjiao immediately smiled.

"Where have you been for more than a year? Everyone thought you..."

When the words came to his lips, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply stopped talking.

"It's a long story. After the flood last year, I had nowhere to go, so I went south to join my relatives. I didn't come back until recently!"

In this regard, Xie Duan told the truth, after all, there is nothing to hide, they are all neighbors in the past, and they can't see each other when they look up.

"So that's the case! Hey, you haven't eaten yet. I just bought some vegetables here. Go to my house. Auntie will cook something delicious for you. I remember when you were a child, you often came to my house for dinner!"

Xie Hongjiao didn't continue to entangle on this issue, she simply changed the subject, and with a simple smile on her face, invited him to come to the house.

"Auntie's kindness is appreciated, I want to go home and have a look first!"

The distance between the two is not far, but there is a fork in the middle, one is at the fork, and the other is at the end of the road.

The scale of the Xie family mansion is not very large, but it is also built of green bricks, which is relatively strong.

This house was bought by his father after he abandoned his studies and went into business, and spent a lot of money. Compared with the ancestral house that had been demolished long ago, it was more luxurious and safer.

After the flood, the overall structure of the house was not destroyed, only two houses were washed away.

In addition, most of the roof tiles were washed away, and the whole house was soaked in water, and the foundation soil was also affected.

Not to mention the furniture and belongings in the house, it is really poor.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been forced to flee to join his relatives.

Hearing Xie Duan said that he was going home, the woman's complexion changed slightly.

"Erlang! You have to be mentally prepared. You didn't come back this year. Everyone thought you were dead, so all the deeds and land deeds of your house have been taken back by the government. They have already been allocated separately and belonged to others."

As soon as she said this, Xie Duan couldn't help being startled.

"what?"

In this way, I really became a homeless person!

"Erlang! You have just come back. You must have been exhausted from traveling and traveling, and you are physically and mentally exhausted. Why don't you go to your aunt's house to have a light meal and have a rest. After you regain your energy, it's not too late to make plans!"

Seeing his strange expression, Xie Hongjiao immediately tried to persuade him.

After Xie Duan thought about it, he simply accepted it.

Parents were killed in the flood, and the deeds of the house in their hands were also destroyed. In addition, he fled abroad. First, he did not go to make up for it, and second, he did not pay taxes. It is only natural for the government to take back his family's land.

"It's troublesome for my aunt."

Xie Duan smiled sheepishly and walked away with her.

"You child, why are you being polite to your aunt?"

Xie Hongjiao was generous and seemed very enthusiastic.

"This is wealth! I have grown so big in a blink of an eye."

"Hey! This kid has no eyesight, and he doesn't know how to call people."

"How is Uncle Fa?"

"He! Your uncle is working outside and won't come back for lunch."

……

A flood greatly reduced the economic level of Houguan County.

Compared with Houguan County a year ago, the soaring prices in today's cities, coupled with increased taxes, make life even more difficult for ordinary people.

Because the status of women in the previous dynasty was generally higher, they were relatively more free and open. In the Qi Dynasty, although there were restrictions, they were not heavy.

It is even more common for neighbors to take care of each other and entertain them for dinner.

After finishing lunch at Aunt Hong Jiao's house, Xie Duan went back to the mansion to have a look, and found that the mansion had changed from dilapidated to the red walls and green tiles, and had been rebuilt on the basis of the original. Fan, like a new house, is very atmospheric.

Now the owner of this house is surnamed Niu!

In fact, if he went to the government now to request a new contract and pay this year's taxes, although the house would definitely not come back, he could get a sum of compensation.

But it's unnecessary to think about it. The yamen in Houguan County is no better than Changshan County. That's the real yamen that opens to the south. Don't come in if you don't have money!

If he wanted to settle down, he could just find another courtyard, and he didn't have to be too attached to the past.

Thinking about the silver that his brother-in-law gave him when he was parting, he didn't spend much on the way, even if he bought a yard now, it would be more than enough.

What's more, he didn't intend to stay forever, and after worshiping the ancestors, he probably asked for Taoism and left.

The reason why I want to set up a house here is also because I want to have a shelter in the future. Once I enter the family, it is unknown whether I will become a monk or not. In case I have children in the future, I can also leave them A family business.

Furthermore, he couldn't carry the spirit tablets of Xie's ancestors and parents around. After all, there had to be a place for them to return to their roots.

Even if you really become a monk and a Taoist priest, it is not bad to leave it to your sister and brother-in-law.

　Ask for a follow-up, and the follow-up is lost again.
