Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

Chapter 224: Cheng Ling said that natural selection

Tongding Mountain, on the mountain road leading to Qishan Village, the villagers walked in front of them with their heads down, while Cheng Ling and the others followed closely behind.

The story between Qishan Village and Heizongzhai still lingers in the hearts of everyone. This old incident is not only like an inexplicable spell, but also the epitome of the miserable reality in the world.

In the back, Fang Langzhong walked beside Cheng Ling and asked her in a low voice, "Master Cheng, what do you think of this? Do you think it's Qi Heishi's fault too?"

Cheng Lingdao: "Qi Heishi is not completely innocent, but the villagers themselves are at fault."

This answer was beyond Fang Langzhong's expectations, and he said in surprise: "I thought you were going to say that no one can blame this, it's just God's will. It's these villagers who bully the soft and fear the hard, are ignorant, and vent their hatred indiscriminately... ."

In other words, he felt sorry for Qi Heishi's experience with him.

Cheng Lingdao: "The old gentleman is right, the villagers do have a tendency to bully the soft and fear the hard. Qi Heishi received the kindness of the villagers when he was young, and after returning from going out, he wanted to lead the villagers to become rich. It can be seen that this person is a kind and righteous person."

When she said this, Ning Xun, who was carrying the burden at the back, couldn't help but say: "Since Master said that Qi Heishi is affectionate and righteous, why does he say that he is also wrong? The beast descended the mountain, which is not what he expected, and it must not be him. Hopefully, he was seriously injured as a result."

Speaking of which, Ning Xun lowered his voice, with a hint of anger in his tone.

Because of this, he sympathized: "If it were me, who was dedicated to the good of the villagers, but ended up being slandered by such anger, I would definitely... They hate me, and I must hate them too!"

Ning Xun has always been steady, and this is the first time he has shown such intense emotions.

These words caused Yang Lin to glance sideways at him, thinking that this junior apprentice was actually a little naive. Looking at it this way, Ning Xun and Wu Yun sometimes have a naive commonality.

Yang Lin couldn't help but ponder: Is it true that Master prefers this kind of naive disciple?

But I heard Cheng Lingdan say: "A Xun, things in the world have never been black and white, nor does it mean that there is no love without hate, and it is not necessarily that there is no hate without love."

He added: "Although Zibuyu is strange and confused, the villagers' words of 'angrying the mountain god' are purely a strange talk to express anger, but the beast going down the mountain is really likely to be related to the villagers' hunting."

"This is not to offend the mountain gods, this is natural feedback. Animals also have spirits, people go up the mountain and kill because of cause and effect. That is natural selection, but if an entire village lives by hunting for a long time, and even goes hunting to get rich What is strange about the way that animals retaliate because of this?"

Ning Xun was stunned and said, "How can animals take revenge?"

Cheng Lingdao: "All species have their own nature. If plants and trees will retaliate, animals will naturally be even more so."

"Plants and trees will also retaliate?" Fang Langzhong heard something strange, and immediately said, "Master Cheng, don't coax people, although the ancients often borrowed things to immortalize and endow mountains and rivers with humanity, but you want to say that plants can also Retaliation, that's pure nonsense, I don't believe it."

Cheng Lingdao: "Why not? Just think about it, those mountains that are particularly prone to landslides and mudslides tend to have few trees and lack of vegetation?"

"The local chronicle of Yongzhou records that fifteen years ago, the Dayong River passed through the south side of Tongding Mountain, and suddenly suffered a landslide. A huge amount of earth and rocks rolled down from the mountain, blocking the section of the river with silt. This caused the water potential at the upper end of the Dayong River to skyrocket."

"Is this just a natural disaster? It's clearly because there used to be a lot of rosewood on that mountain."

"People came for profit, cut down a lot of trees, and dug their roots to make roots, but they didn't replant them in time, so that the soil and water on the hillside were not stable, and after a few heavy rains, half of the mountain slid down. "

After this passage, it was not only Fang Langzhong who was fascinated by it, but everyone else who walked not far from Cheng Ling, including Peng Xingfa, a yamen who only knew a few baskets of Dou Dazi, were very fascinated by it.

He exclaimed: "Ah, it turns out that the Dayong River collapsed because of this!"

Fifteen years ago, Peng Xingfa was also in his teens. Although this incident happened in the area of ​​Tongding Mountain, which was a little far from Yongzhou City, Peng Xingfa paid close attention to it.

Because according to the rules of the past dynasties, local yamen servants are often hereditary.

Peng Xingfa is a government servant, and his father used to be a government servant too!

Fifteen years ago, Father Peng had followed the governor of Yongzhou at that time—yes, the chief officer in charge of Yongzhou at that time was not called the governor, but the governor.

The prefect's power is even greater than that of the state shepherd. Not only does he have the military and political power, he also has a part-time job in civil and military affairs, and he also serves as an academic and political official at the same time!

At that time, the imperial court did not send postal supervisors to the prefectures.

The system of the imperial court changes from time to time, and each change is often accompanied by many overt or covert struggles, from top to bottom, more or less, all are affected.

Peng Xingfa thought back to the past and now, and then quietly looked at Cheng Ling next to him. For a while, for some unknown reason, he felt an inexplicable feeling of excitement.

Fang Langzhong said thoughtfully: "It's no wonder that when Shang Tang was catching birds, he wanted to open the net. This is not just because of the gentleman's benevolence, but because of the nature of the world, there should be a ray of life everywhere, otherwise the world will be born. Revenge. This should be what Cheng Langjun said about the law of nature, isn't it?"

His summary can be said to be very in place. To have such words, this Fang Lang is definitely not comparable to ordinary Lang Zhong.

Cheng Ling praised: "The old gentleman said it very well. Therefore, the method of the ancestors is to fish without drying up the pond, and hunt without burning the forest. Before martial arts practitioners, they should read books first, and then practice martial arts!"

Where does Qi Heishi suffer?

He probably didn't read a good book because he only practiced martial arts!

On the other side of the mountain road, on the gentle slope, Feng Yidao, who quietly followed Cheng Ling and the others, suddenly felt a burning pain in his cheek, and his heart was burning even more, and he had long since become a mess.

After asking about the grievances between Qishan Village and Heizongzhai, Cheng Ling let the bandits in Heizongzhai leave on their own.

It turned out that the people in the cottage were not serious gangsters, and they were just hard-fought people. That being the case, Cheng Ling naturally didn't have to act like a messenger of justice, shouting and killing the villagers in these cottages.

Yunniang was aroused by the memories of Wang Sanhua and others to hate Heizongzhai, and she refused to follow Feng Yidao, so Feng Yidao could only take her brothers in the village and leave first.

Of course, he didn't actually leave.

The others were gone, but Feng Yidao went up the hillside next to him and followed Cheng Ling and the others.

The team that greeted the relatives—to be precise, the team that sent the relatives away, went home just like that.

Since Cheng Ling had meddled with this nostalgia, of course she would not let Yun Niang marry the fool again.
