[070] What soup?

"oh!"

Aunt Wu responded and went to the kitchen to get busy, while Old Wu led us directly into the main room of his house. As soon as we entered the door, Sha Biao behind me hurriedly pulled me, with a look on his face.

He said excitedly: "Have you ever learned to hold back a treasure?"

The so-called holding back treasures, also called "Xiang Ling", is a special profession in the old society that belongs to the "outer eight industries" thieves. Some people also call it "holding sheep".

It is said that places with beautiful mountains and rivers and good geomantic omen often contain "treasures from heaven, materials and earth" that dominate the world. Legend has it that these treasures from heaven, materials and earth are secretly protected by ghosts and gods. If you take them rashly, you will suffer disasters.

.So a special method must be used to remove it, thus giving birth to the profession of "treasure-holding man".

These people often wander around the famous mountains and rivers all year round, or wander in the wilderness. Their whereabouts are erratic and their behavior is mysterious and strange. They have only one purpose, which is to obtain the so-called "treasures of heaven, materials and earth".

"!

But don't underestimate these treasure-holding people. They have great abilities. Observing the sky, looking at the earth, looking at the air, even observing words and colors, and understanding faces and hearts are just the basic skills for getting started!

Some real holding treasure masters can even compete with the top masters in the world of spiritual practice. They know almost everything that practitioners know about, including mountains, medicine, fortune telling, fortune telling, and divination. However, practitioners do not know how to do it.

Yes, they can also do it, they have learned a lot and are proficient in everything.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in the spiritual world that "it is better to provoke King Yama than to bully the Qianyang Lang". This shows how powerful this treasure-holding man is.

And it is said that the art of "holding a baby" first originated in Jiangxi. As soon as the baby is born, he has to be locked in a dark room with no light and cannot be taken out until a hundred days later. From then on, the child's eyesight will be different from

Ordinary people can be ignorant of all treasures, which is the legendary "opening of the earth's eyes".

Of course, I, Wang Lin, have never learned "holding back treasures". I just happened to sense the ray of red light rushing out of Lao Wu's house. So I smiled bitterly and said: "Where have I never learned to hold back treasures? It's just in books."

I just saw it here, that stuff is not something ordinary people can learn!"

"That's right!"

Sha Biao nodded with a look of deep approval and said: "I heard that if you want to do this, you have to cultivate your eyesight since you were a child. Unless you are the child of the old Wang family next door, who would be so cruel and let your child suffer that kind of thing?"

Child's crime?"

Well……

Why do I feel that these words are a bit weird? What do you mean unless they are the children of the old Wang family next door? What happened to the children of the old Wang family next door? I provoked you...

While we were talking, a group of us walked into the house. Indeed, as Lao Wu said, his family was so poor that they had nothing but four walls. Including the stable-like kitchen, there were only four adobe houses in total.

The furnishings inside the house are also

It's quite simple. It's nothing more than some shabby tables and chairs, and then two shabby beds, quilts and sheets. Then there are some farm tools, hoes, shovels and the like. Looking horizontally and vertically, this room doesn't look like anything.

It looks like a treasure.

This house was built by Lao Wu more than ten years ago. It is not an ancestral home that has been passed down for generations, and the possibility of hiding treasure underground is slim.

Did I see it wrong?

Could it be that the red light was not actually the "auspicious sign" that the treasure was about to be born, but that there was blood coming out of Old Wu's house?

Don't tell me, it's really possible! After all, I've never learned to hold a treasure at all, and I don't even know what looking for energy is. The possibility of misunderstanding is actually quite high.

"How's it going? Did you see any clues?"

No treasure was found, and almost everyone's eyes, including Lao Wu's, were fixed on me, which made me blush all of a sudden and said with some embarrassment: "No, maybe I saw it wrong..."

"Hey, I'll just say it!"

After hearing what I said, Sha Biao suddenly felt a little discouraged. He sat down on the chair and said jokingly: "Where did this poor person come from?"

"That's right..."

Lao Wu himself nodded in agreement. Even so, I could clearly detect a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Hey, blame me for being too impatient. When I was still unsure, I rashly asked Lao Wu to take us into the house to hunt for treasures. It gave him hope that he shouldn't have, but in the blink of an eye, he poured cold water on him again.

If it were me, I would probably want to scold my mother.

"Then what do you think those sheep were bitten to death by?"

Since the treasure was not found, the topic of discussion quickly returned to the dead sheep. Of course, everyone still looked at me.

In addition to Lao Wu, probably even Sha Biao already knows that I am a practitioner.

"This...actually, I'm not sure..."

Shaking my head, I said with an uncertain look on my face: "When I just came here, I saw the terrain and environment around here. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. There are miasma and poisonous fog everywhere. This place is simply a paradise for poisonous insects! Contact me again.

Based on what Director Han discovered just now, I think it was probably a poisonous insect that has been cultivated into a spirit!"

"Ah? Monster!"

Before I could finish my words, Lao Wu suddenly became furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He quickly interrupted me and said with a trembling look on his face: "Then... isn't that a monster?"

After swallowing hard, Old Wu said with fear on his face: "You...don't scare me...my family will continue to live here!"

"Don't worry, this is just my guess, maybe it's just an ordinary poisonous insect!"

Shaking my head, I smiled comfortingly at Old Wu and said: "Besides, even if there is a spirit, it's okay. There are hidden dragons and tigers in your house! With this dragon and one tiger controlling the house, as long as you don't go out at night

You're just wandering around, and it can't do anything to you!"

"You can pull him down!"

Old Wu rolled his eyes at me with a speechless look on his face: "What a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. There is no room for these two great gods in my four shabby houses!"

"That's right! You are so good at talking..."

Not only him, but even Brother Zhang couldn't help but joke with a smile on his face.

"Hey! You don't believe it, right? I really had a good talk with you today."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so I planned to explain to them exactly what this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was all about.

However, as soon as I opened my mouth, Aunt Wu's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Dinner is ready!"

"Okay! Eat first, let's chat while eating..."

He had been drinking at noon, and Sha Biao must have been very hungry. When Aunt Wu called for dinner, he immediately stood up and walked directly to the dining table in the courtyard.

I sat down and explained to everyone: "The so-called hidden dragon and crouching tiger actually refers to a Feng Shui tactic. This dragon is actually you..."

I was just halfway through what I said when the chopsticks in my hand fell to the ground with a clang. I looked stupidly at the pot of soup on the table and subconsciously muttered: "What soup?"

"Fish soup? Never seen it before?"

Brother Zhang gave me a speechless look, then picked up my soup bowl, filled me with a full bowl of fish soup, and said with a smile: "You have just recovered from a serious injury, so you should drink some fish soup to nourish yourself."

!”

"broken!"

But I slapped my thigh suddenly and glanced directly at Aunt Wu: "You...you stewed the carp in the tank?"

"yes!"

Aunt Wu nodded subconsciously, then wiped her hands with her apron, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I didn't know you were coming, and we don't have much food at home. Please be patient and eat something..."

"It's over!"

Looking at the fragrant carp soup, I almost slumped down on the bench, holding my head in my hands, looking troubled.

Depend on!

I was about to talk about it, but it was stewed? My God, your family is so hospitable, you can even use Feng Shui fish to greet guests! What a good Feng Shui bureau, it was stewed in this pot

The fish soup was completely ruined!

"What's wrong with you? Why are you still so lost?"

Seeing how cool I was, everyone couldn't help but put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at me with doubts on their faces.

"Hey...eat, eat, I'll tell you when you're done!"

In order not to affect everyone's appetite, I did not tell them about this for the time being. I picked up the fish soup and drank it. At the same time, I reminded them: "Eat quickly. You must finish it before dark. There will be something to do later."
