Lord of Hongmeng

Chapter 500 West Bridge Village

That being the case, let’s become a scholar. When Chen Xuan thought about it, he was not polite. With a wave of his hand, a paper fan appeared, like a fluttering young man. He couldn’t help but smile, and walked into the name. A small village called Xiqiao Village.

As soon as I walked into it, I saw a lot of people working. Maybe they already knew that there were scholars coming in, so they couldn’t be surprised. It seemed that they had seen scholars before. The old man is teaching, but for the village, it is definitely a big event, but martial arts is indispensable. Apart from studying, he is practicing martial arts.

Because practicing martial arts requires watching martial arts cheats or understanding the foundations left by some predecessors. If you can't read, how can you get in touch with advanced martial arts? Naturally, the foundation needs to be mastered. As for advanced literary concepts, it is only based on personal interest.

Those who do not have the qualifications to practice martial arts can only learn from literature, and it is not that simple to learn from literature. There are many difficulties to overcome. For example, if a small country hires talents, it must have a certain level, otherwise how to govern a country.

Listening to the sound of reading, accompanied by the sound of yelling, Chen Xuan knew that the way of advancing both civil and martial arts is interesting.

"Student, where are you from and where are you going?" An old man couldn't help asking when he saw Chen Xuan standing there.

"Old man, I naturally came from where I came from, and went to where I went." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Interesting, interesting young scholar, old man and even the village head of this village, if you don't mind, why don't you come and sit at this old man's house?" The old man said with a smile, he didn't care about his big words, as long as he didn't have a heart.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you just like that." Chen Xuan cupped his hands.

"You're welcome, please." The old man waved his hand, leading the way ahead, and Chen Xuan naturally followed.

Many people in the village were also very curious about where this young scholar came from, but his appearance was quite upright.

"This is an old shabby room, and I ask the scholars not to take offense. If there are any deficiencies, I hope you will forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay, there will always be some discomfort when going out, if you can't get used to this, how can you come out and travel, right, village chief, sit down and don't greet me." Chen Xuan was embarrassed to let a The old man greeted himself. Although he was countless times older than others, at least his life span was incomparable. From the appearance, it was the same thing.

"Scholar, on the way out, I encountered a lot of things. Although this world is still peaceful, there will always be disasters that cannot be stopped, but judging by your appearance, you should not have encountered these things." The village head smiled. Said.

"That's right, I'm on the official road, and I don't take unknown roads. It's an accident to be able to come to Guicun this time. It's fate to meet each other. I hope the village chief will stop seeing outsiders. It's better to treat him as one of us. I come here to travel and travel." Chen Xuan said lightly.

"That's good, that's good, at least the official way will be safer. My student, you have a good idea. It's just a little dangerous to come out alone. You must know that even if disasters are rare, you must be careful. Reasonable, but troublesome." The village chief seemed to be persuading with good intentions, and his original intention was to find out some information, after all, it is not easy to come alone.

"The village chief's kindness, I naturally know it, but although I am a scholar, I still have learned some skills, and I still have enough skills to deal with some small thieves. I still have some confidence in this point." Chen Xuan said very modestly.

However, in the ears of the village chief, he thought it was impossible. Looking at his weak appearance, where there was no strength, it was absolutely impossible for only one person to come out. It seems that there should be some people watching from behind, yes, It must be like this. Thinking of this, he nodded calmly and said: "Scholar is a good man, I am very admired by this old man. Only when there is a man like a scholar, can there be long-term peace and stability. At least the world will not be chaotic, and it will be difficult for us ordinary people. Isn’t it, I don’t want to take extra lessons in troubled times.”

"Village chief, what you said is too flattering to me. I'm just a little scholar. If I can be scruples, I'll be fine. How can I take care of others? Well, that's going to mislead my children, so don't say it, no Whatever you say." Chen Xuan waved his hands, as if he was sure that he was incompetent and could only be a traveler, as for those in need, let the savior save them.

When the village chief listened, he murmured in his heart, but he didn't say much. Since he said so, he didn't care about anything.Afterwards, the so-called rough tea and light meals were arranged, allowing Chen Xuan to directly experience the demeanor of a master.

This time the village head is out of control. It seems that he is really a scholar who goes out to travel. Since he can endure hardships, it goes without saying that there will be no major problems in his natural character. , and the state of the country.

To Chen Xuan's surprise, this small country called Lingxi Kingdom was actually built on a small sect, and it grew gradually. It seemed that there was a sense of religious unity, but later this sect broke away from the royal family and only focused on In terms of martial arts, the affairs of a small country are naturally concerned by the royal family, and needless to say, the blood relationship must be directly related.

Because every year there will be disciples from the royal family joining this sect, and some disciples from high-level sects will return to the secular world. In short, they are all the same, but they look different in the eyes of outsiders. In order to ensure the existence of this country, there are still many invasions by other sects, which countries are the pioneers, and there are still some.

On these borders, there are quite a few sect disciples thrown out every year. The only thing is to help those in power consolidate the border and not be taken advantage of by the enemy. Similarly, they cannot interfere in military affairs. The main purpose is to defend against the masters of other sects. Assassination will also be arranged to assassinate the other party. In short, there will be no peace, and there will be disasters in Taiping.

"Scholar, these are only a little bit that I know, and I don't know anything else. I'm really sorry."

"Village chief, there's no need to be like this. It's good enough to tell me these things. By the way, I just heard that your village competed with another village. Why is this? Is there any dispute?" Chen Xuan changed the subject go.

When the village head heard this, he sighed, and then said: "This matter is quite helpless. The scholar should have noticed the river when he came." This matter is melancholy.

"Yeah, there is only one river, what's wrong with the river, is it?" Chen Xuan thought of those things for fighting for the river water, his heart moved immediately, but he didn't say it out, this problem is more difficult to solve, after all, there is only one river.

"Yeah, it's just such a river. It's nothing. It's just because after an occasional severe drought, a dam was built on the upper reaches of the river to prevent it from drying up again. It was a good thing, but we are in the lower reaches. , They are on the upstream side, close to the river dam, so they naturally want more water sources, and it is relatively easy, and they often build dams privately to intercept the river water."

When Chen Xuan heard this, it turned out to be the case. No wonder there will be warriors fighting for the front. It seems that if they lose, they will definitely not get too much river water. This kind of civil dispute is very difficult to resolve. With force, competitions are used every year to compete for water sources, but in fact, for Dongqiao Village upstream, there has not been much change, and it is also very flooded and prosperous.

"It's not a big disadvantage. They have water available no matter whether they build a dam or not. It's really a bit inexplicable."

"Hehehe, there is no way around this matter, who let them go upstream, so our village is very desperate every time, this is a year's abundant water source, once lost, the next year may be severely affected It has a big impact. After all, the overflowing water must not be as much as before. Once there is a little dryness, our village will be in big trouble."

"That's right. They've gone too far. It's just that there's nothing to do about it. What about the location of the terrain?" Chen Xuan didn't have anything to do, unless he moved to another place, or changed the terrain, which is a big deal. out of scope.

"The scholar laughed. This is what he has to do, but it's not a big deal. Generally speaking, the weather is good. I just hope that it will be like this every year so that nothing will happen. If there are those dry things again, the two villages will definitely not be happy. I will endure it, after all, the time of the disaster is different from the past, many rationalities will be lost, and some only have the idea of ​​wanting to survive, and it is not an exaggeration to have a life-and-death struggle.”

Chen Xuan also nodded when he heard it. This is recognized. After all, this kind of thing is very difficult to say. Once it happens, it is really calmed down. After all, it is a matter of the source of life. Who would give up? Everyone will fight for it. Fight and never give up.

"By the way, is there a well in your village?" Chen Xuan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help asking.

"Well? What is that?" The village chief was obviously puzzled. What is this thing? He had never heard of it before.

Chen Xuan patted his forehead. It seems that there is really no such thing as a well in this world. So let me help a bunch of people. At least it can alleviate a lot of problems. It's too much, this is a great merit, and I don't hesitate anymore when I think of it. Once the dispute is resolved, it will enter a harmonious development environment, which is very good for both parties.

It is hoped that this will spread the word and eliminate more crises.
