Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The first few days passed and everything returned to normal. After not living a proper life in Longshan for more than ten years, Chen Weizheng was already very unfamiliar with this place. The new generation was growing up. Every day, when the children came back from kindergarten and saw Chen Weizheng taking a walk in the square, they would call him Grandpa Zheng, to the point that Chen Weizheng felt that he was really old.
Wei Lai was already severely intoxicated by alcohol and had a stroke. He was paralyzed on the bed and could only drink with a straw every day. He couldn't eat by himself, couldn't wear clothes, and couldn't even control his bowels. He couldn't even commit suicide. Hua Jian would often ask for leave to come back to see him. Every time he saw him, he would cry, and then it would get worse. Now, he basically did not recognize anyone. Chen Weizheng went to see him. He still recognized Chen Weizheng, but Chen Weizheng did not understand what he said. Wei Lai's sister-in-law smiled bitterly and told him that Chen Weilai wanted him to drink.
He had been ruined by alcohol for his entire life, yet he still had a soft spot for wine. It seemed that on the day of his death, he would not make a coffin. Instead, he would make a big goldfish tank, fill it with wine, and then put him in it. Hearing Chen Weizheng's words, Chen Weilai opened his mouth and laughed!
There were only a few things going on in the village. Every day, they would work when the sun rose and rest when the sun set. Chen Weizheng stayed for a few days and felt annoyed. There was nothing new. If he stayed in this kind of environment for eight to ten years, he would probably become Chen Weilai. Other than drinking, there was only drinking.
On the other hand, Liu Yi found her own pastime. She went to Liu Furong's house to help him with the maple dou. A group of women chattered and talked about all sorts of things. It was very easy to pass the time. He took some time to go back to Old Liu's Village and renovate his old house. He also took some time to renovate his parents' and grandfather's graves. Liu Yu hadn't been back often in the past few years, so the graveyard was a little deserted. Liu Kemei was also getting old. His land had been returned to the country, and he had asked for a sum of money. He had gone to Shin Myung Province during the Nine Nations' Care for the Elderly event. Liu Wen was now the Governor of Nanyue Province in Sai Kung. His daughter-in-law, Zhang Ling, had given birth to a pair of twin sons. It was time for her to go and enjoy the life of an old man. Liu Yi also wanted to return the land to the country, but was rejected by Hua Shou. The mayor of Longshan Town said that because Elder Ke Mei had returned the land, the government had made a decision. As long as the land belonged to a leader of the Nine Nations and above, in principle, they would not return the land. They would leave their roots here and one day, they would return to take a look. If they returned the land, they might not return for the rest of their lives. When Chen Weizheng heard this, he sighed. At the end of the day, his group was still a group of farmers.
When he told this to Ou Jie, he was scolded by Ou Jie. Ou Jie was a typical urban commoner. He didn't have a single plot of land. He was a standard proletarian. Ou Jie said that Chen Weizheng's nephew did the right thing. He wanted to use this piece of land to tie down Chen Weizheng. No matter where he went, he couldn't forget that he was a citizen of this piece of land. This nephew was not bad. He had ideas and could be put to good use.
Chen Weizheng said, "Ou Jie, can you not be so boring? It's not easy for me to talk to you about my personal feelings, but you changed the topic to work in just a few words. Don't look at things with the eyes of a big country's premier 24/7. Isn't it tiring to do that?"
Ou Jie laughed and said, "Tired, very tired. I really want to retire and go to Qingshan Town with Chen Weizheng. We can catch fish by the stream and hunt in Qingshan Town. We can also have a relaxing and leisurely life."
Chen Weizheng laughed and said, "Don't come, I'm a farmer, at least I still have land. You're a city dweller, other than playing cards, shopping, and drinking morning tea, you can't find anything else to do. It's better for you to continue being the premier, learn from the founding premier of the country, Duke of Zhou, the silk of the silkworm will not be exhausted until the end of its life.
Ou Jie said, "Even if you want to leave, you can't. Everything starts at the beginning, and there are hundreds of things waiting to be done. Every day, you're so busy that your feet don't touch the ground. Being the chief manager of more than a billion people is really tiring to death. Now that it's my turn, I don't know how I'll die."
Chen Weizheng said, "Didn't you set up a Grand Council? Can't you give some power to other people? Don't learn from Kongming. You need to know how to delegate power. Who can't the world lack? "
Ou Jie said, "Good, good, good, good reminder. You can try it!"
Chen Weizheng said, "It's not easy to be free. That's why I don't want to jump out of the chicken coop and into the duck coop."
After ending the call with Ou Jie, he knew that he and Ou Jie were drifting further and further apart. He had already walked the path that Ou Jie was walking. Back then, when he started his own business in Shin Myung Province, wasn't it the same as Ou Jie today? The difference was that he was doing his own business in Shin Myung Province, while Ou Jie was doing the country's business. There was nothing praiseworthy about his personal business, but working so hard for official business was worthy of praise. Perhaps in the future, the one who would be immortalized would be Ou Jie and not him. But what was the use of that? Business, Tang, and Xia Jie were all ephemeral. Who knew what would happen a thousand years later?
There were only two people who knew. One was Wen Jie, who stayed in Chen Village, and the other was Indefinite Wanderer, who stayed in the South Sea. Although these two had spent a thousand years together, the torment of a thousand years had made them tired of the variability of the human world. To them, the human world was already a foreign existence.
If he could successfully form his Gold Core, perhaps a thousand years later, he would take a look at this Earth and see if it would become greener or a yellow sand, just like today's Mars.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and told Liu Yi that he had nothing to do and that he would go to Longshan for a walk. He estimated that he would stay for half a day. Liu Yi asked if he wanted her to accompany him, but Chen Weizheng said that it was fine. He was just going to relax and walk around casually. There was nothing serious. She didn't need to tire herself out with him.
Liu Yi was very busy. Ruan Lei just called and said that she would go to Qingshan Town with Lan Lianhua soon. She asked Liu Yi to go to Ruan Lei's father's Zhenlong Villa in Huaqiao Town to chat. Liu Yi said that he couldn't do it today. Today was Chen Weizheng's birthday. He wanted to secretly help him celebrate his birthday and asked them to come directly to Chen Village. People in Qingshan Town had this habit. They didn't tell people celebrating their birthdays and secretly prepared for them. It was considered stealing their birthday. Just as she was thinking about how to arrange for Chen Weizheng, she didn't expect that he would call her first. They were really telepathic.
Chen Weizheng didn't move his finger. Instead, he walked along the path of Longshan. His destination was very clear. It was the Horned Dragon Pine Forest at the top of Longshan.
There were obviously more trees in Longshan. It was not a planted pine forest, but wild trees. Some of them were already as thick as a bowl. Red vines coiled around the trees. Under the trees, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves. The fallen leaves fell into the mud and became a thick layer of humus. The path was already covered by vegetation. There were only some bluestone slabs. It could still be seen that this was a path that used to be used by many people. It seemed that no one had come here for a long time. Blowing firewood had long become history. Longshan had returned to its former water source forest.
Chen Weizheng was not in a hurry. It didn't matter if he arrived at noon or at night. Walking on a path that was already closed, Chen Weizheng was quite interested. It was like cultivation. Once upon a time, cultivation was the norm in the land of China. At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, anyone with a little knowledge would cultivate. Those who could understand the Taoist scriptures were even more obsessed with cultivation. After the Yuanming Dynasty, the trend of cultivation decreased slightly. In the Qing Dynasty, cultivation was like this path. If one didn't look carefully, they would not be able to find it. Chen Weizheng also found the method of cultivation by chance and restarted the path of cultivation. It was very similar to this path. In fact, whether it was covered by weeds or vines, the path was still there.
It was much faster than Chen Weizheng expected. Before 10 o 'clock, Chen Weizheng had already reached the top of the mountain. It was very cool at the top of the mountain. The north wind blew against the pine trees, making a whistling sound.
Where there were pine trees, there were no weeds. There were only pine needles all over the ground. The yellow pine needles were like a thick layer of velvet carpet. Stepping on them was soft and very comfortable. The pine forest did not change at all. A mere ten years could not make the pine trees grow taller, nor did they grow. This kind of ancient tree that was hundreds of years old was no longer something that ordinary people could understand. It just grew quietly like this. It had always been this big. It was as if it had always been here. There was no change.
Chen Weizheng remembered that the center of the pine forest was the place where Xiao Yu received Zheng Qijie's inheritance. Walking to this place, Chen Weizheng found the big stone platform. The stone platform was very clean. Not only was there no dust, but there was also not a single pine needle. It was as if someone had carefully cleaned it every day. Chen Weizheng approached the stone platform and reached out to touch it. There was no dust at all. It was as clean as a mirror.
After walking for so long, Chen Weizheng felt a little tired. It was a natural place to sit. If he did not sit, he would be letting nature down. It was about one meter high. The flat platform was irregular. Sitting on the platform, Chen Weizheng did not feel any difference. When he was tired, he just sat down. It was the same wherever he sat.
What was different was the surrounding pine trees. There were eight big trees surrounding the stone platform. The outer circle of the eight big trees had sixteen big trees. The outer circle had thirty-two big trees, and the outer circle had sixty-four big trees … Chen Weizheng was shocked. Was this a man-made forest? And this man-made forest was surrounding this stone platform.
Chen Weizheng moved his finger and rose into the air. Sure enough, looking from above, the dense and luxuriant branches of the Horned Dragon Pine Trees looked like big and small circles. Looking from above, it looked like a pool of green ripples. It also looked like a complete Eight Trigrams. The position of the stone platform was not the two fish eyes, but the center of the Eight Trigrams. He wanted to look for the stone platform, but it was nowhere to be found.
Chen Weizheng sighed inwardly. In ancient China, some people were willing to do anything for the sake of cultivation.
Returning to the stone platform, Chen Weizheng took out the spiritual energy ball that Wen Jie gave him. This was the last words that the Fifth Lord left for him. He did not know what it was.
Chen Weizheng used his divine sense to explore the spiritual energy ball. There was an illusory scene inside. It was the Fifth Lord. The Fifth Lord told Chen Weizheng that the Longshan Chen Village had been established here for nearly three hundred years. In the past, the old ancestor took a fancy to the dragon shape of Longshan and thought that this place was a good place for feng shui. Some feng shui masters said that when Chen Weizheng's grandfather was buried, he touched the earth's eye. From then on, the Chen Village walked on the road to prosperity. The Fifth Lord had a different view. He believed that all of this was because of Wei Zheng. With Wei Zheng, the Longshan Chen Village would maintain its prosperity. With Wei Zheng gone, the Longshan Chen Village would go from prosperity to decline. He told Chen Weizheng to stay and leave. As for the future of the Chen Village, there was no need to think too much. Hua Chao, Hua Zheng, and Hua Rong, the three kings, would let the Chen Village continue to prosper. Wei Gang, Wei Kai, Hua Nan, and Hua Tai would bring the country to prosperity.
