80s Taoism

Zhang Jiaohua saw the big buffalo rubbing itches on the tree not long after it ran away, so he went to pick up firewood in peace. His small bamboo basket can't hold much firewood, so he only picks pine cones. Mother said that pine cones are best burned, and a bamboo basket can be used for a day's food.

In the past, Zhang Jiaohua and Jin Hu herded cattle together, and picked up their own things. When they returned home in the evening, each of them carried a basket of pine cones back. Now Zhang Jiaohua and the five of them put all the pine cones in one basket, and it was full in a short time. After picking up the pine cones, Zhang Jiaohua had nothing else to do.

"I don't have anything to do, so I'll just play Tianzi. Master said that if I dance wrong next time, I'll hit my palms again." Zhang Jiaohua never realized that every time in his dream, he couldn't control his body at all. No matter how familiar Bu Tiange is, it's useless.

But Zhang Jiaohua was completely immersed in the memories of the dream, the dream was so real, he could remember all the details clearly.

"Master said that the orientation of the matts is very important, and we need to use a compass to check it. But I didn't bring a compass with me when I came out today. It's a pity." Zhang Jiaohua scratched his head. Suddenly my eyes lit up, "There is no compass, I can use the sun to identify the direction. Master once said that you can also calculate the direction by looking at the positions of the sun and the moon. I can just give it a try."

Blessed to the soul, Zhang Jiaohua may indeed have talent in this area, relying on the little experience that the old Taoist said, he actually counted with his fingers, and after a while, he roughly figured out the position of the general, and arranged the layout directly according to the position he calculated.

Although the lines drawn on the ground are crooked, they are roughly close to the matts drawn by the old Taoist priest in the dream.

"Ziwei Palace in the North Pole of Zhongyuan, where the five stars of the North Pole are located. The emperor sits on the second bead, and the third star lives in the concubine's house. The first number is the crown prince, the fourth is the harem and the five celestial pivots. The four stars on the left and right are the four assistants, and the sky and the sun are the gateways... The four stars in heaven are dark in the sky, and the auxiliary stars are close to Kaiyang. The seven stars of the Big Dipper are bright. Jumping on the bare ground, I didn't even notice that the surrounding trees moved without wind. Something that seems to be absent in the air is gathering here.

Jin Hu and the others watched Zhang Jiaohua jumping around at first, but in the end, they turned into a wisp of green smoke and burrowed into the bell in Zhang Jiaohua's hand. The bell seemed to turn into a vortex, sucking them in one by one.

A pheasant jumped out from the nearby bushes, and walked into the grid of Zhang Jiaohua's painting in a daze. After entering the grid, the originally agile pheasant suddenly became unstable. It seems that the ground is constantly shaking. The pheasants walked back and forth in the grid, but only one of them turned around in the grid, and finally turned itself dizzy and fell headlong in the grid.

Zhang Jiaohua finished Bu Tian's song and stopped. This time, his condition was surprisingly good. During the whole process, there were no mistakes and his movements were very coherent. As soon as he stopped, Zhang Jiaohua saw a fat pheasant at his feet.

"Hey, I have chicken legs to eat tonight." Zhang Jiaohua happily picked up the pheasant, then found some thatch to weave into straw ropes, and tied the pheasant's wings and feet together, so that even if the pheasant woke up, it would not be able to escape.

"Jinhu, Fugui, Xiaoshuan, Gouwa, Mancang, where are you?" Zhang Jiaohua suddenly found that his little friends had disappeared. In the past, they were always not far from him. But now all five of them disappeared at the same time. Without Jin Hu and the others, Zhang Jiaohua became a little scared. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, the woods seemed to suddenly become dark. When the breeze blows, the various branches and leaves in the woods make various sounds. In Zhang Jiaohua's ears, it was like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Zhang Jiaohua quickly tied the pheasant to the bamboo basket, put the bamboo basket on its back, ran out of the pine tree, and ran into the sun to feel the warmth of the sun. This made me feel better.

Zhang Jiaohua's big buffalo had already run far away, Zhang Jiaohua searched for a long time, and finally found the big buffalo near a sweet potato field. But at the same time as Zhang Jiaohua came to the big buffalo, there was also the dumb father Zhang Benrui.

"Biaohua, how did you herd the cow? The cow has been running here for a long time, and you haven't seen your figure. If you eat my sweet potato vines, you must pay for it." Zhang Benrui looked at Zhang Jiaohua very angrily.

"Uncle Ben Rui, have my cows eaten your sweet potato vines?" Zhang Jiaohua was not at all timid when facing an adult who was much taller than him.

"That's not true. Fortunately, I came quickly, otherwise half of the pennies would have been eaten up." Zhang Benrui was taken aback for a moment, and then said confidently.

"My cow is still so far away from your sweet potato field. How can it eat it? Besides, my big buffalo is very smart, and now it doesn't eat these things at all. Let alone stealing, even if you give it sweet potato vines, it may not like it." Zhang Jiaohua was worried at first that the big buffalo ate other people's food, which would be troublesome.

Zhang Benrui was so angry that he said, "Okay, okay, don't let me see your big buffalo stealing my food, or I will kill your buffalo to eat meat."

"That's the best, I also have meat to eat." Zhang Jiaohua was not afraid of threats from Zhang Benrui.

When Zhang Jiaohua drove the big buffalo back to the village with a bamboo basket on his back, Liu Qiaoye had already come to pick it up. Seeing the sweating cub, Liu Qiaoye's nose felt sore.

"Mother, there is some meat to eat. I caught a fat pheasant." Zhang Jiaohua saw her coming, and immediately asked her for credit.

Zhang Youping arrived home later than Zhang Jiaohua. The members of Zhang Qianlong's family were very stingy in their work. After entertaining the fellow villagers who helped out for two meals, they tried every means to make the villagers work until dark. Although other people have thoughts in their hearts, they are not easy to say. Zhang Youping was even more in the way of face. When he built the house, many people from the village came to help. Now it's his turn to help others, so it's not easy to make excuses.

Liu Qiaoye complained a little about her husband's late return, "You are too honest, you have been working for others until this time. When we built the house, the casual workers left so early. You look at his posture, wishing to finish all the work in one day. I think many helpers in the team have come back early, why are you the only one left behind?"

"It's not like you don't know Qianlong." Zhang Youping was also very dissatisfied.
