In Zimei's fantasy world, the flow of time is naturally very different from that in the human world.
Zhang Tinglai is lucky.
If he had not met Niu Yuanping, even if he was immortal in the illusion, many years might have passed when he came out again...
In Wanling, Niu Yuanping killed Zhimei, preventing the second person from following Zhang Tinglai's footsteps.
In Taize City, Zhang Tinglai assisted the Yamen in catching the liar and brought him to justice, but he avoided the second person and became Fu Chuansuo.
In short, there is always a knife, which is used to kill monsters in the mountains and thieves in the world.
…
at this time.
Niu Yuanping continued on his way.
Unknowingly, he had been traveling within Dayan Kingdom for more than half a year.
In the past six months, we have received a lot of goods.
There are not a hundred demons and ghosts to kill, but there are eighty.
It's just that after the Ultrain system was upgraded to version 2.0, it seems that when it is upgraded further, it requires more energy.
After absorbing so much evil and ghostly bioelectric energy, the system was just upgraded to version 2.1 again.
Moreover, the 2.1 version of the Ultra Brain system does not unlock new skills.
You have to wait until you upgrade to version 2.5 to unlock a weapon called the "Destruction Laser".
But at this rate of upgrade, I'm afraid it's still too early...
no way.
We can only continue to work hard and kill more evil spirits and ghosts.
today.
Niu Yuanping came to a small village called Yunzhou City, Xiangmu Village.
Although this is a village under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou City, due to its remoteness, it is far away from the city government office. Many people in the village do not know which city they belong to.
People only know that this place is called Xiangmu Village.
Niu Yuanping came to this village and took a rest for the time being.
As usual, find a place where people often gather to chat, sit down and have a cup of tea.
You can use this to hear some new and exciting things.
So, we came to the small teahouse at the end of the village.
Put an ingot of silver and boil a pot of tea.
Then he started chatting with everyone in the small teahouse.
"I'm a well-traveled person who likes to listen to stories. Is there anything new happening in your village? If it makes you happy, I'll treat you to wine and tea."
Niu Yuanping sat among the villagers, took a sip of tea and asked casually.
A middle-aged man smoking a pipe puffed out the smoke from his mouth and smiled, "Do you like hearing novel things? Then you have found the right person!"
He took another puff from his pipe.
Then he opened the chat box.
"Something new has happened in our village!"
At this time, another person quickly interrupted, "You're not going to talk about... the Ma family, are you?"
The man with the cigarette bag nodded, "Yes, it's his business!"
This time, Niu Yuanping suddenly became interested.
"What happened to this man?" He poured a cup of tea for the man and handed it over, "Come and tell me."
The man took a sip of tea and began to talk.
The people next to me also added a little bit from time to time.
turn out to be.
In Xiangmu Village, there is a farmer named Ma Quan, who is quite famous in the local village.
Speaking of why Ma Quan is famous, it has to do with his character.
Ma Quan is an honest and honest man with a very kind heart.
It is precisely because of his kindness that Ma Quan is known to many people.
However, kindness is good, but Ma Quan is not well received by others.
Because sometimes, his kindness seems a bit extreme.
In other words, kindness goes too far.
Ma Quan has never killed or eaten meat since he was a child. He sweeps the floor for fear of hurting the lives of ants, and cherishes moths and gauze lamps.
Many people say that he is a monk.
But Ma Quan is an out-and-out farmer.
There are many things throughout the year including spring plowing, summer planting, autumn harvest, and winter storage.
But farming is not an easy task, especially when it comes to preventing pests.
Farmers use various methods to control pests. Plant-based ones include Jiacao, Mangcao, etc., animal-based ones include mirage ash, fishy water, etc., and mineral-based ones include salt, sulfur, lime, arsenic-frost, etc. Methods used include mixing into seed collections, planting with seeds, soaking in water or boiling juice and spraying, lighting smoke, smearing insect holes, etc.
Every time when pests are rampant, there will be a grand event of "all the people catching insects".
However, since Ma Quan didn't like killing animals, his family's fields were never cleared of insects.
As a result, Ma Quan's fields were infested with pests, and not much food was grown every year.
Sometimes, many people ask Ma Quan, what's the point of farming like this without removing insects?
When Ma Quan was asked this question, he would smile silly and reply, "Grain is the food of hundreds of insects. It is because we humans also need it as food for food that we choose to occupy it in the fields. In this way, It’s really selfish. Now that we have taken food from the mouths of insects, we should not kill them all anymore. I am here to share a piece of the pie so that I can repay my karmic debt for all living beings.”
…
Ma Quan's words often reveal Zen meaning, coupled with his eccentric behavior and overflowing kindness, making Ma Quan famous in the local area. However, other farmers did not choose to get close to Ma Quan because of his kind deeds, or even stayed away from him.
After all, it always seems strange that a farmer doesn’t do what a farmer should do.
Some people even think that Ma Quan is a fool.
…
Ma Quan is not only unique in farming, he also chooses not to eliminate pests and share the food equally with all living beings.
The same is true at home.
Since Ma Quan does not kill animals and does not even harm the lives of ants, when there is an infestation of mice in the house, Ma Quan chooses to let it go.
The house is infested with rats.
The food collected from the fields, which was not much in the first place, was all cheap to rats in the end.
…
It turned out that Ma Quan was married to a daughter-in-law.
But because of his weird behaviors, his wife finally couldn't stand it anymore and chose to leave him.
If things go on like this, Ma Quan will be with mice.
All the mice in his house know that they will not be harmed in Ma Quan's house, so they are not afraid of people. Even sometimes when Ma Quan was eating, rats would eat at the same table with him.
Over time, those rats seemed to understand human nature.
When Ma Quan's family was too poor to open the pot, the mouse would choose to take out the food accumulated in its nest and put it in the pot so that Ma Quan could cook it.
Therefore, although Ma Quan does not grow much grain every year, people have never seen him short of grain, and he has never borrowed grain.
…
Just like that, two or three years passed.
The village suffered a locust plague, and large areas of the villagers' fields failed to harvest.
Moreover, winter came very early this year.
It's snowing and the village is freezing!
People say that there is no life left in this village.
Farmers all chose to flee to other places to avoid the disaster, and many people froze to death and starved to death on the way to escape.
However, Ma Quan was the only one who did not escape.
Everyone felt that if Ma Quan continued to stay in this village with no way to survive, he would definitely die.
But in fact, this is not the case.
After everyone fled, in this uninhabited village with heavy snowfall, there was a room that was always lit with lights and smoke.
The following spring.
Farmers who have fled to other places are returning to their villages one after another.
People couldn't believe it when they saw Ma Quan working in his own fields alive.
Everyone asked how Ma Quan could survive alone in the days when the village was blocked by heavy snow.
Ma Quan still smiled stupidly and said, "Cause and effect. I usually share the food equally with all living beings, but when disaster strikes, all living beings will definitely not abandon me."
It turns out that when heavy snow closed the village, Ma Quan, who had no food at home, relied on the help of rats.
Since Ma Quan did not get rid of the rats, his rats actually built a granary under his house.
And because of the friendship between Ma Quan and Rat, the Rat clan was able to open a granary to provide relief to him in years of disaster.
As a result, he has quite a reputation in Xiangmu Village.
