Huo Du's Notes

Chapter 9 -

Professionals are different. In three to five days, I found a seller near the area I was looking for, even the house and the land. The price, location, and size basically met my expectations.

I didn't talk too much nonsense, and I inquired about the market for a while, and the price was indeed fair, so I decided to buy it immediately.

It's just that I don't have a local household registration, which is a troublesome thing.

Although the Song Dynasty did not have the trouble of limited purchases, there are still many things that are inconvenient if there is no household registration.

Fortunately, my appearance is not too different from that of a Han Chinese, and I can speak fluent Mandarin, so no one doubts my so-called "foreign blood in my ancestors" excuse.

Not bothering the two masters with one thing, I found someone from the local government through this tooth dealer, cleared it up, and handled the household registration, which can be regarded as taking root in Zhongnan Mountain.

If people say that it is easy to do things with money, it only took me more than a month to finish this big mess, and I have changed from a proletarian to an out-and-out small landlord.

I am very satisfied with this change of identity. Chinese people still have deep attachment to family.

I've just settled down here, and it's almost New Year's Eve.

It was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month when I moved into the newly purchased house in the suburbs, commonly known as Xiaonianer.

Naturally, it is impossible for me to take care of this big house by myself, which shows the benefits of the evil feudal society.

Well, in fact, I have been corrupted for so many years in Mongolia.

Moreover, there are many things that I really can't do by myself.

In addition to wearing clothes, I can barely wash them.

For cooking, I can only roast meat.

Therefore, two helpers with a ten-year contract take care of the rough work at home.

Two dead contracts are bought out, in charge of outside purchases and family affairs, and also take care of family work when busy.

There are also two cooks who also have a ten-year contract, but the price is the most expensive.

But when I ate the small New Year's Eve dinner they made, I felt that it was worth the money!

After coming to this world, the customs in Mongolia are very different from mine, so I don’t need to mention it.

Even in those few years in Shaolin Temple, in order to create the image of a little layman who devoted all his attention to the Buddha, I didn't dare to let go of it, let alone experience the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

Thinking about it carefully, this is also the first time I have a serious Chinese New Year since I was reborn.

Even though I'm the only one in the family, it doesn't matter, there are still quite a few people, and I also said, prepare well for the New Year, don't miss anything.

How about a professional dentistry!

Find me this housekeeper, who knows all about these things.

It's all in one set.

What is "five days before the spring, the night is at the beginning of the night, and the fire is burning like a sunny day. The children and grandchildren are busy sitting around the chickens and dogs, and we will have a good harvest in the coming year."

What else is there: "New Year's Eve is forbidden to open to the people, and children come in groups to carry lanterns. Walking through the streets and alleys, asking for cheap prices, earning money from old women to buy dementia." Jujube cakes and tangerine lychees are more like giving lucky money." and so on.

I was taken aback when I heard it. This is the so-called professional manager in the 21st century.

I'm not someone who likes to take care of things. I wave my hands. The housekeeper has full authority to handle all the affairs of this year's Chinese New Year. I just follow along.

The housekeeper, Uncle Chen, knew that I was young. Although I looked old-fashioned, I was afraid that I really didn't understand these things, so he didn't refuse, and simply agreed.

I also enjoyed a trip to experience the ancient New Year customs viewing experience, which was very interesting.

I have to say that although the material aspect of this era is far inferior to that of modern society, in terms of the New Year's atmosphere, it makes me, a modern person, ashamed.

How should I put it, by comparison, the twenty years I spent before can be easily washed and slept, it is simply nonsense!

People celebrate the New Year, that's a special thing!

Under the guidance of Uncle Chen, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I made an official appearance in front of the neighbors. Everyone was happy during the festival. I was polite and sweet-mouthed, so I was quickly accepted by the neighbors.

Because I also set up a cloth shop and plan to try to do some business, so offering sacrifices to the God of Wealth in the second day of junior high school is also a must.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, post "Chikou" in the morning and "Send the New Year" in the evening.

The fifth day welcomes the God of Wealth and opens the market.

The seventh day of the lunar new year is People's Day, that is, the "People's Victory Festival". I also experienced the feeling of wearing golden flowers. It turns out that Ximen officials and others really dress up like this...I have blamed you all by mistake.

Immediately afterwards, as soon as the fifth day passed, the annual meeting and temple fair began in succession.

Although most of the performances in it are really hard for me to appreciate, but in such an atmosphere, it is hard to be unhappy if you make a string of candied haws, eat two pieces of rice cakes, drink a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus brewing, and throw a handful of bamboo rings.

The celebrations continued until the lanterns were finished on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the atmosphere cooled down.

I couldn't help sighing again, the ancient tubes really thought hard to play, although I find many things quite boring, but it doesn't affect my joy of playing along at all.

After the fifteenth day, the New Year's work is over, and the next thing is to take care of things at home and in the store.

However, I also invited professionals to cook, so I don't need to bother.

After finishing these things in the store at home, there is one more thing that I have been thinking about.

It’s been so long since I’ve been in Zhongnanshan, I haven’t seen what Quanzhen Sect’s Chongyang Palace looks like, and the legendary Ancient Tomb Sect that specializes in beauties, so go and see it whenever you get a chance!

I have always been a person whose heart is not as good as action. As soon as the first month came out, I found a day to go up to Zhongnan Mountain alone.

Now that my serious problem has been solved, the zhenqi in my body is getting stronger and stronger, but it is running well and there are no hidden dangers. My trip is purely a curiosity tour.

So I changed into a literati dress, and went to Zhongnan Mountain under the banner of sightseeing.

I walked and watched leisurely by myself, and occasionally chatted with the passers-by I met, and finally reached the mountainside at noon.

At a turn on the mountainside, a small temple came into view, with three big characters "Puguang Temple" written on the banner of the temple gate.

Although the temple is not big, it is very tidy and clean, but the Chinese New Year has just passed, so there are not many people offering incense.

For this temple in the core area of ​​Taoism, I have a feeling of seeing finger-licking chicken in McDonald's...

I couldn't help but went to the temple to beg for a fast meal, and donated ten taels of money for sesame oil. The little novice who took care of the incense looked at me with joy.

I laughed to myself and said: The monks are not exempt from yellow and white things. It is really correct for me to set up some family business for myself.

After taking a short break in the small temple, I continued to walk up, and not far away, I met two young Taoist priests with their hair in a bun and a green-blue Taoist robe guarding the mountain gate.

After thinking about going up, it would be the site of Chongyang Palace, but I deliberately pretended not to know, and continued to move forward leisurely.

Sure enough, as soon as I approached, the two reached out and stopped me.

Although they stopped me, they did not lack manners in their words. They only said that the higher level is the private domain of Quanzhen Sect, and one cannot rashly enter unless someone from the sect or someone within the sect recommends it.

I looked disappointed, so I said embarrassingly: "When I first came here, I heard the name of Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain for a long time. I wanted to pay homage to the orthodoxy of Taoism, but I didn't expect this fate. It's so rare to see it. What a pity."

After I finished speaking, I sighed lightly, but the expressions of the two Taoist priests remained the same. I think there are not a few people like me, and they are already familiar with it.

But they were also very enthusiastic to point me to other places: "The rules of the teacher, I hope this little brother will forgive me. But it is not far from here, there is a small road to the back mountain, and the scenery there is quite beautiful. If you are interested, sir, you can go for a visit."

Back mountain?I thought about it, isn't the Ancient Tomb Sect just behind the Quanzhen Sect?

Since Quanzhen teaches people a lot of things, it's not easy to wander around, it's not bad to go to the Ancient Tomb Sect to have a look.

According to the records in the original book, the little dragon girl should be still young at this time, and her master should be too. I don't know what this low-key head of the ancient tomb looks like?

Thinking of this, I cupped my hands at the two of them, thanked them, and then asked carefully which places in the back mountain had the most beautiful scenery.

It is estimated that the two of them are stuck here all day long, and they are very depressed. Seeing that I am indeed a scribe who travels around mountains and rivers, I am very dedicated to pointing out the path and the wonderful scenery of the back mountain.

When I was leaving, the two of them seemed to think of something, and suddenly called me to a stop.

The younger one changed from his kindness just now, and reminded me very seriously that there is a place in the back mountain, although it is not within the scope of Quanzhen Sect, but it is a bit weird, and I should never approach it.

The two were afraid that I would break in by mistake, so they explained the location of that place in great detail.

However, he also added that that place is very secret, if it wasn't bad luck, he probably wouldn't have broken into it by mistake.

I was secretly happy, Zhongnan Mountain is so big, and I am not good at performing lightness kung fu, and I am worried that I will have to run and break my legs to find the location of the ancient tomb!What the two said undoubtedly told me the location of the ancient tomb.

I promised that I would never break there, but I was thinking about how to get there the fastest.

After wandering around in the afternoon, as the two of them said, they passed through a large area of ​​grass and rocks, and a deep ditch six to seven feet deep lay in front of them.

Without thinking about it, I jumped down and slid along the overgrown grass in the ditch, until I slid into the bushes at the bottom of the deep ditch.

Continuing to move forward, the bushes became denser and denser, and gradually there was a feeling of not seeing the sun.

After walking for about a stick of incense, I seemed to see something in the bushes in a trance. My mind was moved and I rushed over. Sure enough, there was a stone tablet on the ground with four words engraved on it: "Outsiders stop."

ancient tomb!

I couldn't help but smile. In my mind, the Ancient Tomb Sect is the most mysterious sect in the world of Jin Yong's martial arts. It is a great fortune to be able to see the beauty today.

However, I was too happy.
