I climb the fairy ladder by farming

"Dengdengdeng..."

The three knocks on the door were neither urgent nor slow, but awakened Zhang Zheng who closed his eyes and meditated quietly.

His eyes were like lacquer, clear and pure without any trace of anger or malice, Zhang Zheng stood up and opened the door, with a twitch of his lips, he greeted with a smile: "Student has seen Mr."

The gentleman is also full of smiles, without any suspicion, "You have missed three days of school, and you have been locked in the room for three days, but do you have something on your mind?"

"Sir, don't worry, the students are fine, they just encountered some incomprehensible things, so they just thought about it for a while."

Holding the volume of "Nine One Seven Lu Runji's Letters" in his hand, Mr. passed by her and stepped into the inner room.

While carefully putting the scroll back on the shelf, the gentleman said without turning his head: "If you have any doubts in your heart, you can tell me, and the gentleman will tell you what he can answer."

Zhang Zheng's eyes dimmed, and he noticed that she said "can answer" instead of "know". The difference between a few words, but the meaning is very different.

"gentlemen."

"Ok?"

Zhang Zheng looked up at her husband who was looking back at her, "If someone died because of you, what would you do?"

The husband asked back: "Then did I intentionally cause this person's death?"

Zhang Zheng thought for a moment, then shook his head resolutely.

The husband didn't answer right away, but went to the table and poured a glass of clear water. She picked up the half-full water glass, walked out of the inner room, and stood at the entrance of the private school courtyard. It splashed on the ground and formed a small pool of water.

After pouring the water, she casually placed the water glass on the desk beside her.

She raised her eyes to look at the red-eyed Rihui in the sky, "Let's go, it's getting late and it's time to rest, and I have to give lectures tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, she left the private school with her hands behind her back. Zhang Zheng glanced at the pool of water on the ground and the teacup on the desk, with an inexplicable expression, and followed her away.

Back in the house behind the private school, Zhang Zheng and her husband sat opposite each other, reading a book and practicing calligraphy together in harmony and peace.

Zhang Zheng suddenly remembered the matter of looking for the dark river, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, it is said in the book that everything can find its source. Does the spring in Houshan originate from the underground river?"

Without raising his head, the gentleman said, "Naturally."

"Then where does the dark river originate from?"

The gentleman put down his brush and explained carefully: "Underground rivers are formed in karst caves, when surface water permeates rocks and sinks into the ground. After years of dissolution, collapse and remodeling, underground rivers gradually form, and some can even form Intricately intertwined dark rivers."

Didn't hear what he wanted, Zhang Zheng sighed regretfully: "The force of nature is really amazing, it's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes."

The gentleman smiled knowingly, "The dark river under the spring is in the ancestral land. If you want to see it, you can wait until the day you change your surname to enter the ancestral land to take a look."

Ancestral land!

Zhang Zheng's eyes fluctuated, and he didn't expect to know the exact location of the dark river from the husband so easily.

However, the ancestral land is not so easy to advance, does it really have to wait until the day when the surname is crowned?

In the dead of night, on the bed, Mr. was already asleep, breathing long and steady.

Zhang Zheng got up carefully, pushed open the door lightly, and left sneakily.

The crescent moon was like a hook, and under the bleak moonlight, Zhang Zheng came to the private school, and just opened the courtyard door, when he heard the crisp sound of porcelain shattering.

Then came Yan Shaoting's violent scolding, "Which immoral guy sprinkled water everywhere!"

Just as Zhang Zheng took one foot in, the clear moonlight was reflected by the shattered ceramic pieces of the water cup on the ground, and the remaining small water beach was full of the moon.

For a moment, I froze in place, not knowing whether I should go in or not.

Yi Lanshan noticed Zhang Zheng's figure, raised her hand and pulled the sleeve of Yan Shaoting, who was cursing endlessly, told him to calm down for a while, and welcomed Zhang Zheng: "Come in quickly, fellow Daoist Zhang."

Zhang Zheng avoided the puddle of water in front of the door, and as soon as he walked in front of the two of them, he was attracted by Yan Shaoting's gloomy face, "What's the matter, Daoist Yan?" It wouldn't be like this by a pool of water!
Yi Lanshan smiled bitterly: "We've been secretly looking for the location of the dark river for the past few days, but today we were blocked by those five guys. Shaoting had a big fight with them, wasting a day for nothing I was angry at the time, but as soon as I entered the courtyard, I stepped on the water and slipped, which made me even more angry."

Yan Shaoting interrupted suddenly, and said angrily with dissatisfaction: "It's not slipping, but almost slipping, okay, senior sister, please don't smear me. It's all because of that vile thing that sprinkles water everywhere!"

Uh, although this wicked thing is about Mr., she also has an unshirkable responsibility. Zhang Zheng smiled bitterly and changed the subject, "Then do you have any clues?"

Mentioning this matter, Wansan frowned, shook his head and said: "No, we have almost ran all over the village, but there is no clue. Either there is a formation to interfere with the investigation, or the underground river is too deep. Treasure hunting Rats can't find it either."

No matter which possibility it is, it is currently an insurmountable difficulty for them, but she brought good news this time.

Zhang Zheng didn't hold back, and said directly: "I learned from my husband today that the underground river under the spring flows through the ancestral land of Zhidao Village."

"Ancestral Land?"

Yi Lanshan was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "We've never heard of the ancestral land of Zhidao Village, so what kind of place is this?"

Zhang Zheng shook his head, "To be honest, I only know that there is such an ancestral land in Zhidao Village. I have never seen what the ancestral land looks like, so naturally I don't know where it is located."

"What's so difficult about it?" Yan Shaoting patted his chest confidently, "Just find any villager and ask if it's okay."

Because of his great achievements in the verbal battle against the five people at the entrance of the village last time, the attitude of the village towards them has improved a lot in the past few days, especially after comparing with the five people who make trouble every day, they feel that they are not happy and Yan Shaoting is a reasonable person.

After several days of warm hospitality and verbal respect from the villagers, Yan Shaoting's frustrated arrogance surged instantly.

"no!"

Yi Lanshan vetoed his proposal without thinking.

Zhang Zheng also shook his head in disapproval.

The term ancestral land has been endowed with a sacred meaning since ancient times. It is the time when children grown in the ancestral land return to their roots and fall leaves. How can they be defiled by outsiders at will.

"Since it is the ancestral land of the village, it is natural to enshrine the tablets of countless ancestors of this village from ancient times to the present. How can it be freely known to outsiders, let alone lead outsiders into the ancestral land."

Not to mention the villagers, even if the village chief alone knew that some villagers dared to lead outsiders into the ancestral land, then the villagers and the outsiders who entered the ancestral land would have to face the village chief's wrath.

It may be enough for the villagers to teach them a lesson, but it is not impossible for outsiders to be directly expelled from Zhidao Village without relatives or reasons.
