Chapter 7 The Art of Acrobatics
Le Piaopiao was a man of handicraftsmanship in his previous life. He could copy it, whether it was jewelry, clothes, shoes, or bags, and add his own design inspiration to make the products more beautiful. In addition, the handicrafts and materials are exquisite and meticulous, so the online store opened is a very good business and is a rich woman who stays at home.
Now that material things are poor, she can draw styles. She can see hairpins, bracelets, rings, necklaces, combs and brooches, etc. The villagers on the side were so happy that they almost instantly admired her. Even so, no one doubted why she, a fool, suddenly became like this, and they all thought that this was a natural supernatural power.
The whole village is indeed very terrible.
But she underestimated the Huai Blacksmith. In her opinion, the blacksmith was just Zhang Fei using embroidery needles to make jewelry. But unexpectedly, this village girl looks like a scholar and the whole village’s farm tools are all made by him. She took three days to make them all. It was not exquisite, but the appearance was not bad. For the village girls who put chopsticks in the hair as hairpin rings, wrap a piece of flower cloth or wear flowers, even if they are made up, it is simply a work of art.
Le Piaopiao designed a pendant with an owl shape, a heart-shaped stone with a black background and white flowers as the body of an owl, the size of a quail egg, and the head shape is made of brass carved with patterns. It melts Koichiro's copper pot, and the eyes are two red beans. It is picked from a strange tree on the mountain. The lower part of Le Piaopiao uses red silk thread to make tassels on it, which is actually... very good.
Village Hua Zimo's bracelet also needs similar patterns, except that the wristband is made of leather. After seeing it, the village chief Xia Ningfeng kept stomping his feet and shouting, "Why did you get two night owls? How unlucky?"
Zi Mo ignored her father and was happy that her bracelet could make a pair with Le Piaopiao's necklace.
Le Piaopiao was also very happy because she heard that since she came to this imperial village with three masters ten years ago, Zi Mo had been taking care of her daily life, which made her finally let go of her psychological burden. After all, her new body is sixteen years old. If the three masters take turns to take care of her because life cannot be handled, wouldn’t they be seen? They are young men only 26 years old, and they all look very good.
So, she felt more close and grateful to Zi Mo.
Also, she heard from the "master's wife" Feng Jiu that there are six arts in Taoism, namely alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, formation, god-making, and spelling. She didn't know the other five arts, but Huai Blacksmith is obviously a genius in weapon refining. She can use a blacksmith furnace to create jewelry. Isn't it a pity that this control and technology is wasted?
As the twelfth lunar month is halfway through, the Chinese New Year is still fifteen days away, but the village is covered with clean pots and cold stoves. Le Piaopiao couldn't help but think about improving the life in the village. Everyone has benefits for public and private... She will try her best to live a comfortable life wherever she goes.
The village is so poor that there is no need to think about reducing the amount of money. If you have another quarrel, you will starve to death. None of the villagers is in the foundation building stage. Besides, even in the foundation building stage, you can only stop fasting. Only in the Golden Elixir stage can you completely die in the world. Therefore, the villagers feel that they are running on the road to cultivating immortals, but Le Piaopiao feels that they have gone straight and deviated.
Then, only open source can be done.
But now it is winter and nothing can be planted. Now it is too late to raise poultry and livestock, so I can only develop myself.
Go to work as a coolie? Everyone knows that you can't find a job around the end of the year.
Go to the home of a wealthy man who is not kind to rob the rich and help the poor? No, this kind of organized criminal activity requires technicality and good cooperation. The villagers who have not been trained are still so 200% and are definitely not competent. If you go back and get caught together in the village, why is it better to spend the New Year in prison?
After thinking about it, at this time of celebration, entertainment activities are only reliable, and there is a great opportunity to make money.
"Acrobatics?" Village Chief Xia was very surprised when Le Piaopiao proposed this idea at the all-village congress.
The three masters sat aside with a look of shame. Because they had heard Le Piaopiao's wonderful ideas before, they were not shocked, but they were a little unable to raise their heads. After Piaopiao became smart, they often had some terrible thoughts, that the three of them had not been well educated and taken good care of them. They were sorry to Piaopiao, sorry to themselves, and the people in the village.
"It's an acrobatic art." Le Piaopiao is picking on the words.
The village is very democratic. Anyway, there are only about 30 people. If there is any problem, everyone will gather in the ancestral hall to discuss, then raise their hands to vote, and the minority obeys the majority.
"But we are monks." Tian Youjia frowned and opposed it, expressing everyone's voice, "Although it is a hidden cultivator hidden among the people, how can you do things that entertain ordinary people? And you still go out to the streets to perform art? No, I object." She is the richest person in the village, and she can wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year and can afford melon seeds and candies. The reason for this is that she has a ancestral medical skill. People from nearby villages occasionally come to her for treatment and pay some medical expenses.
"Don't rush to object, listen to me and tell me the reasons." Le Piaopiao waved his hand and was confident.
Everyone calmed down.
"Since my spiritual wisdom has been restored, I have learned a general understanding of what it is to cultivate immortality in the past few days." Le Piaopiao said seriously, "I know that only by successfully reaching the foundation-building stage can I extend my life to more than three hundred years. Otherwise, even if the Qi Refining stage is Great Perfect, it will only last a hundred years of life. But in our village, there has never been a foundation-building stage monk, right?"
Everyone lowered their heads, ashamed and sad. You should know that the progress during the Qi Refining Period is still expected for villagers who have no talent, but it is difficult to break through to the previous level.
"So, in order to increase the time of practice, that is, lifespan, you need to temper your body and maintain your body to the best state. In that case, you need to eat and drink well."
"There is turbid air in the food, and eating too much is not good for cultivation." Tian Youjia took the style of a village doctor.
"Who says food has turbid air? All things in the world have spirits. All things in the world are nourished by spiritual energy. Even if we accumulate a small amount of spiritual energy, we can still walk on the road." Le Piaopiao knew that he would be opposed, and he would have thought about saying things. At this time, he talked freely and looked very imposing. "Besides, we have spiritual veins under our feet, and the food we planted is different. Otherwise, how could the palace want us to worship? As for the turbid air in food, we just need to remove the dross, take the essence, and treat it separately. Wouldn't it be enough? When we draw qi into our body, we should also remove the dross and retain the essence?"
"That's right." Zi Mo interrupted, "My father always says it's not good to eat too much, but I only have the strength when I eat full, and it seems that I'm much better in my cultivation."
"Right." Le Piaopiao quickly spoke, "Also, why do gods and immortals go to the mortal world to experience tribulations? Why do those powerful people want to enter the world? How can they cultivate the mind of Tao without the enlightenment of the mind of Tao? How can they enter the state without the sudden enlightenment of the mind of Tao?" After saying that, she looked at the reactions of everyone.
All the villagers were stunned, including her three masters. Her words were justified, and the purpose was to coax the villagers to make money, but it was not unreasonable. Practicing hardships will always be slow, and practicing Taoism requires cultivating the mind. Everyone understands this principle, but because they have poor qualifications and are like racing with time, they are afraid that they will not be able to successfully build the foundation before death. Therefore, except for daily work to protect this land with spiritual veins, how can they have time to contact others? No one has ever thought of the obvious truth.
After a long time, Village Chief Xia sighed: "Piaopiao is really like a mirror stone, and she wakes up the dreamer with one word."
So she successfully fooled everyone? Le Piaopiao was secretly happy, but she didn't dare to show it. She still looked like a long and arduous road, and I was going to search up and down. Only after everyone agreed with this view did she express her specific implementation plan.
The third master was strong and muscular, and had big stones on his chest.
The second master Fengjiu is as light as a swallow, with a graceful posture and a rope.
The master looked unfathomable, had neat methods and turned into magic.
Village Chief Xia was walking on stilts, Tian Youjia took a penny to take the pulse once, scholar Huai made some ordinary farm tools to sell, and other village girls and villagers divided them into groups to cooperate with various performances, leaving a few more people to guard the village...
Live together.
After everyone discussed and agreed, they started preparing the next day. Although the villagers were friendly and exchanged experiences of their practice, such collective practice never happened. They were a little enthusiastic and had a little vitality. In the end, it made everyone work harder, more enthusiastic and focused.
On the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, Le Piaopiao led a team to the market where the imperial city Tongchuan specializes in juggling, which is a bit similar to the overpass in old Beijing and the three-way area in old Tianjin. There, after paying the venue fee, everyone performed according to the practice in advance.
The villagers are all insidious and rarely contact outsiders. When they are crowded, they are cramped and a little shy. So Le Piaopiao could only bite the bullet and work hard to attract audiences, introduce programs, and activate the atmosphere.
She never performed in modern times, but after learning a few tricks on TV, she was actually quite good. The performances of the villagers are rare in this world, and it really attracted a lot of people. In addition, Lepiaopiao charges a flexible fee, not only collects money, but also New Year's goods. They have had a lot of money in the past three days, and they have eaten and used firecrackers. It seems that the first month has passed, and there is no problem in waiting for the spring to cultivate.
The joy of the twelfth lunar month was so happy that she was really about to float up. She decided not to perform anymore. After all, on this day, the New Year's Day officially began, and the people were busy with their own affairs and would not watch the show.
Just as I was greeting someone to clean up the stall, I suddenly felt like someone was staring at her. It was a sudden feeling. I couldn't tell how I found it, but I only felt that there were several sharp eyes.
I looked up at the gatehouse at the entrance of the market and saw a black and black thing, like a bird, but the color of protection was so wonderful that it blended into one with the tiles on the roof. I couldn't find it without looking carefully. In fact, even if I discovered it, because the bird group was in a ball shape and was far away, I couldn't see it very clearly.
Looking closer, there was a man standing not far away, as if he was an ordinary audience watching the show, but his eyes kept sweeping on her.
