By the Lanjiang River,
People carried water in wooden buckets to irrigate the dry fields.
The seedlings planted in the fields were also very sick, and most of them had dried up.
"Ah, there were floods last year and a severe drought this year. How can people live like this!"
There is no more food left at home, and the seedlings in the fields are dying. These villagers are wondering how they will survive this year.
Wang Zhe looked at the Lanjiang River where the water level had dropped by a large amount. Due to the drop in water level and the continued heat, there were many dead fish floating on the water.
During this period, while practicing in the mountains, he found that the spiritual energy in the mountains had become thinner than usual.
He guessed it might be because it hadn't rained for several months.
For this reason, he made a special trip down the mountain and found that the entire Kuaiji Mansion and even places further away were like this.
The spiritual energy is restricted,
He thought that this was mentioned in the Notes from the Human Immortal from the Longlin Mountain Human Immortal Tomb.
At that time, he was still very confused, how could the breath between heaven and earth be restricted? This is not a city or a place, but thousands of miles of mountains and rivers!
Where does the aura between heaven and earth come from?
From mountains and rivers, from all corners of the world, from all things in the world,
With such a huge scope, how can it be restricted?
The most direct impact of thin spiritual energy on a monk is that it slows down the progress of practice.
It is not only the monks who are affected, but also all things in the mountains, rivers and nature.
A very intuitive reaction is that in places with strong spiritual energy, there are lush trees and abundant water vapor.
Most of the famous cave heaven paradises are located in famous mountains and rivers, and most of the worldly masters and sects practicing outside the world practice in these places.
If there is insufficient water vapor, there will naturally be less spiritual energy, because water itself can nourish all things and store energy and absorb spiritual energy.
Due to the continuous drought during the recent period, some trees in the mountains where Wang Zhe practices have dried up and died. The death of the trees will further reduce the spiritual energy.
This impact on Wang Zhe is relatively limited, but it has a great impact on the people at the foot of the mountain.
There has been no harvest for two consecutive years, and people have no food to eat. Some people choose to beg, while others engage in the business of licking blood from the tip of a knife.
There are more and more thieves blocking the road.
There are more cases, and police officers in various places are also busy.
Guobei County,
After Zhu Xiao passed the martial arts examination, the position of head catcher became vacant, and the county captain handed over the job to the experienced, mature and prudent Hou Zhu.
He has been very busy recently, leaving early and coming back late.
I finished my job that day and returned home, feeling very tired.
The virtuous Sun Xiulian had already prepared dinner early.
After Lao Hou washed his face, he sat down and ate voraciously.
"Eat slowly. You see how tired you are every day. Why don't you just quit this job if you can't do it?" Sun Xiulian felt sorry for her man.
"Azhe left enough money last time."
"Wait a little longer, the world is a bit chaotic recently, but with these clothes, the family will be more peaceful.
I don’t know how that guy has been doing lately. If he was still in the Yamen, I would feel a lot more relaxed, but I guess he wouldn’t like such a busy day from morning to night. "Lao Hou said with a smile.
That morning, someone came to the county government office to report that someone had been found murdered outside the city. The assistant immediately led people to the scene.
Five miles outside the city, there was a carriage and two corpses.
The deceased was known to Hou Zhu as a merchant from Guobei County and a horseman driving a carriage. It seemed that he was going somewhere out of the city.
While surveying the scene, Lao Hou thought of Wang Zhe again.
"If that kid Azhe was still here, he might be able to tell something. These people are far behind!
I don’t know where that kid is now? "
"Footprints, bloodstains..." He followed the traces left at the scene into the mountains and forests. Within two miles of the mountains and forests, the clues stopped.
Hey, he sighed helplessly and hammered the trunk of a nearby tree.
"Back to the city."
They returned to the county town with the body.
After a busy day, two thieves were caught, but there were no clues about the murder case.
"Captain, let's have a bar together today?"
"You go ahead, I have to go home in a while." Lao Hou waved his hand.
After the detectives left, the room was empty and he was the only one left.
Suddenly, his vision blurred for a moment, and the back of his head felt slightly itchy, and then he felt a deep sleepiness coming over him.
"So sleepy!" He yawned, lay down on the table, and fell asleep after a while.
A man appeared in the house.
"I didn't expect that I would be the head catcher."
This person is Wang Zhe who came to Guobei County.
While he was practicing in the mountains today, he suddenly thought of Guobei County. He hadn't been back for some days, so he came down from the mountain and came over to have a look.
Along the way, I saw some homeless people begging.
When I arrived at the county seat, I unconsciously wanted to visit the county government office. I happened to see Lao Hou returning from handling the case, and followed him into the government office in Guobei County.
Looking at the place where I had stayed for more than two years, everything looked so familiar.
"Go to sleep. We will meet in a dream and give you a chance." Wang Zhe looked at Lao Hou who was sleeping on the table. It looked like he was indeed exhausted.
"Where is this?" Lao Hou looked around in confusion. There seemed to be a person standing in front of him. It was very blurry and his appearance could not be clearly seen.
"Hou Zhu, you and I are destined. Today I will teach you the "Arhat Kung" using the "Dream Returning Mind Technique". I hope you practice it well!" A voice suddenly sounded.
"Who, who is talking?!"
"watch out!
The two palms push the clouds, pull the flowers and leaves, the fairy ape picks the fruits, the two peaks insert the clouds, the sea topples the mountains..."
Um?
Lao Hou suddenly stood up and clenched his hands into fists.
The blurry scene in front of me soon became clear. Looking around, I found that I was still in the room where I usually stayed, but I was sweating profusely and very sore.
"Yes, is it a dream?"
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so tired that I fell asleep on the table."
"But the dream just now felt so real."
He recalled the dream just now and subconsciously made a movement, which was exactly the starting position of Luo Han Gong, but it was a little jerky.
Then he slowly added the remaining seventeen
"This this......
Is the dream I had just now real? Is there really someone teaching me Kung Fu in a dream? "
When Lao Hou came out of the Yamen, his face was still full of shock and he was a little dazed.
"What's going on? What's going on?" He kept mumbling.
Wang Zhe smiled when he saw this scene.
When he was still in Guo Beicheng, Wang Zhe had thought about teaching Hou Zhu some skills, but he didn't think of a more suitable way to say it.
Now he is fine. He has learned the "Dream Returning Mind Technique" and can directly enter dreams and teach the exercises in his dreams. He first taught Lao Hou the "Arhat Kung Fu".
At the same time, he also gave Lao Hou a burst of energy. The world seemed to be in chaos, so he taught him some exercises so that he could have some ability to protect himself.
When he got home, Lao Hou was still in a daze.
"Why did you come back later than usual today?" Sun Xiulian hurriedly stepped forward and asked when she saw him coming back.
"Asleep in the Yamen."
"Asleep? Are you too tired?"
"fine."
Lao Hou washed his face, sat down at the table, and found a large bowl of chicken soup on his table.
"I see you've been exhausted these past few days. I'll give you some refreshment." Sun Xiulian said with a smile.
"It's better, madam!" Lao Hou's smile was full of happiness.
With a well-educated and wise wife and a son, Lao Hou felt that it was worth it no matter how hard he worked.
"Madam, I had a dream just now when I was sleeping in the Yamen. In the dream, an immortal taught me a set of exercises." During the meal, Hou Zhu told his wife about the dream he had in the Yamen.
"Really, what kind of immortal?" Sun Xiulian smiled after hearing this, obviously not taking his words seriously.
"I didn't see it clearly, but I can really practice what he taught me."
"Yeah?"
"If you don't believe it, I'll show you how to practice after dinner."
After dinner, Lao Hou Bian practiced the 18 postures of "Arhat Gong" in the yard. Although it seemed very unfamiliar, it was still impressive.
After the exercise, my whole body was still warm and very comfortable, but after a while my stomach started to growl.
"Ma'am, I'm hungry again."
Sun Xiulian was stunned after hearing this, and hurried to the kitchen to prepare food for him.
This is the beauty of the "Dream Returning Mind Technique". Teaching skills in a dream is somewhat similar to "insight initiation", so Lao Hou saves a lot of trouble in practicing this "Arhat Skill".
Getting started is much easier than for ordinary practitioners.
What's more, Wang Zhe also transferred a stream of true energy into his body, which itself was extremely pure "Vajra Energy".
Other people who practice "Arhat Kung" cannot cultivate such pure "Vajra Qi" even if they practice hard for decades.
In addition to his age, Lao Hou's starting point for practicing Qigong is much higher than others.
After eating three large bowls of rice in succession, Lao Hou stopped.
After a night's sleep, Hou Zhu woke up the next day feeling full of energy, as if he had suddenly become twenty years younger.
"That immortal is really awesome!"
On the way to the Yamen, neighbors all greeted him.
"Hey, the catcher looks good today."
More than one person said this along the way.
"Captain, you look good today!"
"No, why do I think there are fewer wrinkles on your face?"
"Well, yes, Captor, what good food have you eaten?"
"There's nothing good about it." Lao Hou smiled after hearing this, but he felt happy in his heart.
When you are over 40 years old, you are naturally very happy to be praised for your youthfulness.
"If I dream of that immortal again, I have to thank him properly." Lao Hou thought to himself.
Patrolling the streets and catching a thief, the busy day passed quickly.
Hou Zhu didn't feel as tired as usual on this day.
In the afternoon, Lao Hou was the last one to leave.
"I wonder if I will have any more dreams today?" Thinking about what happened yesterday, he simply sat down and lay on the table.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew in through the window.
Something seemed to tap lightly on the back of my head, and I suddenly felt sleepy. I yawned, and then I lay down on the table. My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and I soon fell asleep again.
