Chapter 11

"I'm not sure either. Let's try it first." Gu Zhengchu said with a frown.

"Brother, what on earth are you trying to do? Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us."

Shen Jianyi couldn't hold back his temper any longer and asked aloud.

“It’s this book that Congcong gave me.”

Gu Zhengchu took out the booklet and turned to a page, pointing to it and explaining it to everyone: "Look here."

The three of them went over together.

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Cong was puzzled.

In addition to a picture of a person sitting cross-legged and a diagram of the body's acupoints, the page also contained a row of small characters, which I could not recognize.

"Dad, did you decipher this word?" She thought of another possibility.

"It's not that easy?" Gu Zhengchu shook his head.

"But Xiaokai and I figured it out yesterday and recognized part of it, so we can guess and read on."

He pointed to the black dots next to the human figure and said, "Do you think the arrangement of these dots looks like a formation?"

The more you talk about it, the more bizarre it becomes.

But the three of them still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Shen Jianyi was the first to shake his head: "Everyone has their own expertise. Brother Gu, you should study this thing with Xiaokai.

One of you understands meridians, and the other understands ancient Chinese. Only you two can understand this thing.

Just tell us the result, and we can skip the process."

Gu Zhengchu couldn't help but smile at what he said.

"I thought about it again after I got home last night and found that this should be a set of exercises. As for what effect it will have after practicing it, I am still not sure.

I won’t teach you this, let me study it first.

But the placement of the black dots next to it is indeed a formation. Look, there is a special introduction below. "

Gu Zhengchu pointed to the text below.

No one even looked at him, all waiting for him to continue.

“It says here that we need to use essence stones, and that placing them according to this formation can gather vitality.

I don't know what this stone is. Maybe it's a fine stone? Or a rare stone? The only thing I can think of is jade.

After all, this is an ancient book. From ancient times to the present, the most beloved and exquisite thing among Chinese people should be jade, right?"

"Or does it mean... a stone that contains spiritual power?" Chen Cong thought thoughtfully.

“I think the word ‘jing’ in this Jingshi does not necessarily mean exquisiteness, it could also mean spiritual power.

If this formation can extract the spiritual power from the essence stone and allow it to be absorbed by the human body, then my ability can be improved!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes sparkling.

Twenty square meters of space is really too small. If it can be enlarged, many problems can be solved.

"Yes! This mental power should be the anger mentioned in the book! I am narrow-minded."

Gu Zhengchu was very happy after he figured it out.

"Of course it is! And the human body can indeed absorb this anger!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Chen Cong said made sense.

He stood up excitedly, pointed at himself, and then pointed at the two pots of flowers on the table.

"Yesterday I found a pair of jade bracelets left by Xiao Kai's mother, and I also smashed a jade ornament at home to make a total of seven pieces. Then I set up a formation in the house according to this diagram.

Look at this flower! I didn’t sleep last night, but now I’m not sleepy at all. I feel more energetic than usual!

This anger is definitely good for the human body and plants!

The main reason I came here today is to discuss this with you. Let's try to set one up at home. If it really works, I'm going to go to Pingchuan."

"Pingchuan? Go buy seedlings?" Shen Jianyi asked.

Pingchuan is the largest Chinese medicinal materials planting base in the country, and it also has the largest Chinese medicinal materials market in the country.

"Buying seedlings is one reason, and there is another reason - Pingchuan produces jade. There are many jade factories at the foot of Gushan Mountain, and I want to go and have a look.

We don't need big pieces anyway, so the leftovers from their jade carvings should be enough. I'll go get some."

"Let's try it first, and then we'll talk about the others after we're sure they work."

Cheng Ru, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't wait any longer.

"Since the book mentions fine stone and doesn't mention jade, maybe gemstones can also be used? Brother Gu, you should set up the formation first. It's still early. If it really doesn't work, you can ask Jianyi to go to the jade shop and buy some now."

"Let's take her to their room. She is what our family needs most right now."

Naturally, the three of them had no objection to this.

Arriving at Chen Cong and Gu Kai's bedroom, Gu Zhengchu placed the seven pieces of jewelry according to the locations described in the book.

Then he stood up and felt it for a while, then turned around and asked everyone, "Do you feel anything?"

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads together.

Gu Zhengchu frowned, "It shouldn't be like this? I felt something different yesterday after I finished the decoration. Is it really necessary to use jade? I'll go get the jade decoration."

He said as he walked towards the door.

"Dad, wait a moment." Chen Cong stopped him.

"Could it be possible that it has something to do with the amount of energy?"

She pointed to the pair of gemstone earrings and said, "The gemstones on my mother's earrings are too small. Could that be the reason? Let's try this one."

As she spoke, she took out the ruby ​​pendant that her mother-in-law had given her from the space.

Although Gu Kai had agreed to let her pawn them together, Chen Cong felt that they were her mother-in-law's relics after all, and ultimately she was reluctant to part with them.

Gu Zhengchu also recognized the pendant. He took it, touched it, and then placed it on one of the positions.

The earring that was originally placed there was placed together with the other one.

The moment he put down the earrings, everyone in the room felt a cool breeze blowing past, which was very refreshing.

"It really feels like that!" Cheng Ru said in surprise.

The others nodded as well.

Chen Cong was also very happy - this showed that her previous idea was correct, the so-called essence stone does not necessarily refer only to jade, any stone with energy can be used.

This way, the range of choices becomes much larger.

Perhaps because the room was not big, this formation took effect very quickly.

After a while of putting the cloth down, people could clearly feel that the air in the room had become slightly cooler, which was more comfortable than turning on the air conditioner.

Therefore, no one wanted to move and they just sat in the room and started discussing.

"Jianyi, you should be very familiar with the village chief, right? If we propose to buy the land at the back, will he agree?"

Gu Zhengchu stated the most important reason why he rushed here today.

"We are quite familiar with each other. He even calls me uncle. But buying land? Brother Gu, our house is big enough for us to live in. Why do we need to buy land?"

The house is being reinforced now, and renovating the existing area will be a big project.

When Shen Jianyi heard that Gu Zhengchu wanted to buy more land, he couldn't help but get a headache.

"The piece of land at the back?" Chen Cong stood up immediately.

She walked to the window, pointed outside and asked, "Dad, are you talking about the area next to our backyard?"

Gu Zhengchu didn't stand up, but nodded: "Yes, this is it."

"Buy it!" Chen Cong said decisively, not giving his father any chance to refuse.

"We bought this piece of land, removed the iron railings in our backyard, built two walls to enclose our home and the land, and connected them directly to the outer wall of the community.

Dad, come and see, this way our home becomes an independent entity, we can take care of both the front and the back, it will definitely be safer!"

Shen Cong pulled Shen Jianyi over and gestured to him.

The Shen family villa is in the last row of villas in the area, with an open space between it and the outer wall.

The area was originally intended for greening, but because the houses didn't sell well, the project was abandoned and now the land is barren.

The area of ​​this land is not small. If it is enclosed as Chen Cong said, the backyard of the villa will be directly connected to the wall of the community and become a relatively independent space.

Not only is it more private, but if something happens it will also be easier to defend and you won't be attacked from both sides.

Besides, when the harvest really fails, who would complain about having too much land at home?

After listening to his daughter's explanation, Shen Jianyi took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll call Xingxue and ask if the village is selling this land. If so, we'll buy it."

"It's okay if we don't sell it, we can rent it for five years first." Chen Cong added in a low voice.

When he heard that Shen Jianyi wanted to buy land, the village chief Xu Xingxue on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned. It was obvious that he didn't understand which piece of land the Shen family wanted to buy?

He didn't agree immediately, but said he would come and see first, and then hung up the phone.

Xu Xingxue arrived very quickly. In less than twenty minutes he came over on his small electric scooter.

He was in his thirties, with a long face, tall and thin, and a shaved head. He looked shrewd from head to toe.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Xingxue shook off the sweat on his forehead and smiled before he spoke: "Uncle, it's been so lively at home these past two days!"

"Yes. My in-laws' house was being demolished, and since my house is bigger, they decided to come and live with us for two years.

Now, Congcong and Xiaokai are preparing to go abroad together. They feel a little worried about the three of us old people living in such a remote place, so they insisted on helping us clean up the house.

Well, I said they were just worrying for nothing. Even though there aren't many households in our community, it's still close to the village. You're interested in studying, and there are so many acquaintances in the village. Are we afraid that no one will take care of you?"

Shen Jianyi explained with a smile as he greeted people inside.

"That's right! With us here, you don't have to worry about safety!" Xu Xingxue said quickly.

Then he looked at Shen Cong standing next to him and smiled again: "But Cong Cong and the others also mean well. It is filial piety for children to think so! It doesn't matter if it is tidied up again, they will feel at ease when they go out!

But...they are going together as a couple? Didn't they say before that Congcong was going alone?"

"Let's go together. I'm worried about Chong Chong going home alone, so the couple should have someone to take care of him." Gu Zhengchu said from the side.

Realizing that this man should be Shen Cong's father-in-law, the relative that Shen Jianyi mentioned, Xu Xingxue nodded in agreement.

He did not continue the topic, but asked:

"Uncle, you just said you wanted to buy some land? What kind of land? Isn't your house big enough for you?"

"I want to buy land. I want to buy the land at the back and use it entirely to grow medicine." Gu Zhengchu continued.

"You know my in-laws used to run a clinic, right? The house was demolished, so the clinic can't be opened for the time being.

He is a person who cannot sit still, so he wants to try growing some medicine during this time. If it works, he wants to rent a piece of land in our village to expand the scale.”

"Oh, this is a good thing!" Xu Xingxue immediately expressed his agreement.

Although he had never dealt with Gu Zhengchu, he had heard of the name of the old director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Moreover, because the village is close to the city, young people have all gone out to work, so there is a lot of vacant land. It is of course a good thing if someone is willing to rent it.

“Renting land in the village is a later matter. Now I have no experience, so I want to get a small piece of land to practice.

This land is right in front of my house, and I can plant it just for fun. Can you sell it to me so that I can try it out first?" Gu Zhengchu brought the topic back.

The land in this community all belongs to the village, and it is impossible to get a property certificate anyway. The most you can get is the right of residence.

To put it bluntly, selling houses or selling land makes no difference to the villagers.

What's more, this land was originally behind the Shen family's house and has been left barren all this time, so there is no point in keeping it.

For the villagers, being able to sell the products means they have made a lot of free money.

After Gu Zhengchu finished speaking, Xu Xingxue actually agreed in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

"This land can be sold... but I have to go back and discuss the price with the village. Also, uncle, you know that we can't get the land certificate for this land, right?"

"Know."

"That's fine."

Xu Xingxue laughed and said, "Then let's go back and have a meeting. Uncle, wait for my news."

The author has something to say:

It’s been too hot recently, so everyone must pay attention to cooling down and preventing heatstroke!
