Chapter 1 Stone Room Cultivation(1/2)

This is one of the 100,000 mountains in northern China.

The mountains are majestic and dangerous, with trenches and trenches and trenches. In some places, there are primeval forests with altitudes ranging from 1,000 meters to 3,000 meters. Because of the complex terrain and great differences in climate, the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are distinct, spring is warm, autumn is short, summer is hot, and winter is cold.

Jiutian Mountain is located at the northernmost point. Behind the mountain is a cliff, unfathomable and difficult to fly birds. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the terrain in front is relatively flat. There are small villages scattered in every corner. There are occasionally half of the figures of people on the winding paths.

Due to the backward living environment and inconvenient transportation, the people living in Jiutian Mountain live a very hard life. Relatively speaking, it is very different from the chaotic, intrigue and bustling outside the mountain, and the life-and-death bustling world. Life in the mountains is very hard and poor, but there is sweetness in the bitterness, and it is also satisfying to entertain oneself.

Few people come to the mountains, and few people walk out of Jiutian Mountain. Although the mountains are bitter, there are fewer disputes in the outside world and more innocence unique to the people in the mountains. It is a special gift to the children of Jiutian Mountain. People live here for generations and have a deep attachment to Jiutian Mountain that nurtured them.

Wangjia Village is located in the right corner of Jiutian Mountain. The village is not big, with about ten families. Most of the people in this village’s surname is Wang, so this village has always been called Wangjia Village.

It is said that the ancestor of Wangjia Village was a high-ranking official. Because he offended the powerful people in the court, he came to the mountains to live in seclusion. Before his death, he left his ancestral teachings: "Any descendants are not allowed to be an official; scholars are suitable and passed down from generation to generation."

After that, the descendants of the Wang family followed the ancestral teachings. After they had achieved success in their studies and achieved scholarship, they went to various parts of the country to practice hard, and then went home to live a pastoral and secluded life.

In the autumn of this year, a couple with elegant temperament came to Wangjia Village, Jiutianshan.

Everyone in the village knows that the man is the son of the Wang family's eldest house in the south of the village. The daughter has never seen him before. Depending on the situation, they are a couple. The Wang family has been getting married and starting a business outside and rarely comes back. Now I don’t know what’s going on. The eldest house’s son is back, but the eldest house has not come back.

After the couple had a close conversation with the second wife, they lived on the hillside of Jiutian Mountain, five miles away from the Wang family, and did not live in Wangjia Village.

The villagers were surprised by this because the mountain opposite was tall and large, and no one wanted to live there, let alone this handsome couple.

However, the couple was satisfied with the environment.

Over time, the couple would occasionally go to Wangjia Village to see the second house - their second uncle, who gradually became familiar with the villagers, and their life was living peacefully.

As time goes by quietly, fifteen years pass by in a flash.

Fifteen years have not been short nor long. Life in Zhongshan has not changed much in the past ten years, and young couples are no longer young and have entered middle age. If there is any change, the village chief of Wangjia Village has joined hands with other surrounding villages to run a primary school and hired them to manage and teach.

In a plain life, it is also good to teach the little monkeys in the mountains and can pass the time; secondly, the children in the mountains can learn some knowledge. In the future, they will not be illiterate when they come to the outside world. Society is developing, and people cannot stay in the mountains forever, after all, the world outside is very vast.

On that day, the couple had a happy conversation in the room!

"Husband, what name do you want to give your child?" The wife asked her husband gently.

The handsome and upright husband heard his wife's question, put down the book in his hand, and used his powerful hands lovingly to help his sweet wife with a big belly to lie down on the bed to rest, then covered her with a quilt and asked, "What do you think? You are the future mother of the child, you will be pregnant for ten months, nurturing for three years, and raising for ten years. Being a mother is the hardest, and it is most suitable for you to name it." The husband pushed the problem to his wife.

"You are the head of the family," said the beautiful wife in a touching manner: "You should take it! I think this is better."

"Isn't it just five months pregnant? There is still a lot of time before the baby is born. Why are you so anxious?" the husband asked with a smile.

"Yes!" After hearing what the husband said, the wife thought about it, wasn't the child still early, and she thought to herself and said, "But I'm a little too anxious, and now I want to give a nice name."

"That's it!" The husband said casually without thinking: "Look at what Wangshan is, it's all about mountains here anyway."

The wife gave her husband a slight anger and said, "No, you can think of such a rustic name?"

"Haha..." The husband was amused by his wife's beautiful expression, and he thought for a moment and said, "We live on Jiutian Mountain. The ice and snow on the top of Jiutian Mountain are not melting all year round. Then call him Wang Bing. Anyway, I don't know whether it is a man or a woman. This name is suitable for both men and women. What do you think?"

"Wang Bing?" his wife said happily, and then said happily: "This name is good. The child's name is Wang Bing, that's it!"

As the couple talked, Wang Bing's name was settled.

Wang Bing's birth has indeed brought earth-shaking changes and surprises to his parents' peaceful life!

First of all, life is no longer monotonous, and my mother quit her job at school to take care of Wang Bing at home; secondly, Wang Bing inherited the handsome advantages of her parents. She had two dimples on her handsome face, and her big childish eyes were bright and bright. Occasionally, two black eyes were like abacus beads, and her mother laughed and scolded, all of Wang Bing's advantages were destroyed by those thief eyes. You can tell at a glance that there are many tricks. However, with Wang Bing's cute appearance, Wang Bing still ate a lot of candies from uncles and aunts in the village; thirdly, since his parents were two years old, they had learned a lot of words to read by themselves, so they could read some books by themselves.

How can you not make your parents happy with such a smart son? Now four-year-old Wang Bing has read the only few books in the family. Although there are many puzzles, it has made his parents feel happy and happy.

That morning, Wang Bing was lying on a small hill not far from home, biting a wheat rod bored in his mouth, crossing his legs, resting his head on a small stone, humming a mountain song that even Wang Bing himself didn't understand, looking at the blue sky and white clouds leisurely, thinking to himself: "I have read the books at home several times, and there are no other books to read, so I have to read those old books. It's better than nothing... Brother Jun and Sister Hui don't come to play with me, it's very boring..." Thinking of this, Wang Bing threw out the wheat rod he was biting in his mouth.

The second wife has three sons.

The eldest and second brother are older than Wang Bing's father and got married earlier. Their children are much older than Wang Bing. Wang Bing usually doesn't go to play with them. The age gap is too big and they can't play together. When the mountain people reach the age of working, they go to the fields to help their parents work and have no time to play.

The third brother, Wang Bing's third uncle, is younger than Wang Bing's father, and has a pair of children. His sister, Wang Bing, is four years old, named Wang Huili, and his brother, Wang Bing, is two years old, named Wang Jun. Since they are not old, they can play together, and of course they have the best relationship.

Wang Bing was lying at this time on the high ground of my house, so his parents could see Wang Bing lying bored at home. When his mother saw Wang Bing's bored and cute appearance, she said to her father helplessly: "Look at our little tricks and tricks, we have always been unable to appreciate the gods these two days. It makes people angry when they are naughty, but looking at his lazy now, I am quite worried."

"Is that right? You didn't teach your son a lesson every day to learn your lessons, and don't destroy this one all day long. I'm not very good now. I remember that I haven't felt so quiet and comfortable for a long time, haha!" The father said with a smile, but when he thought of his son's destructiveness, he felt very troubled.

"Is there anyone who said that to your son?" The mother angrily said to her father: "What's wrong with your son? You, a father, don't care at all?"

"Who said I don't care? I just sometimes think my son is too naughty. When you look at his eyes, when you are not serious, you will have a bad idea," the father said with some amusement. "You and I have never had a headache. However, he was quite obedient when he was studying. These days he was so sad that he had no books. The village is far away from here, and there are no children playing with him... Well, you can open the library passed down from the ancestors of the Wang family to his son."

The mother said hesitantly: "But my son is very young now, after all, he is only four years old. Will you wait a few years before talking about it?"

How could the father not understand what his mother was thinking? She couldn't bear to spend her son's childhood like this, so the father laughed and said, "I think it's OK. Don't you think our son is smart and smart. He has read the few books in the family several times?"

My mother thought about it and said that her son was very smart since childhood and liked to study. However, after all, he was still young and should not deprive him of his innocence. I hope he has a happy childhood.

The mother thought for a while and felt that the blind decision was unfair to her son, and said, "Let's discuss it with her son?"

"That's right, but this kid will definitely agree. You see, there are no books to read now, and my son is depressed these days." The father said, thinking to himself, "It's not that you don't know your son, books are very important to him."

The mother thought that her son had no books to read now and was in poor spirits. She not only smiled but also looked full of love. Although she didn't want her son to get into the pile of books too early, she was helpless.

After dinner in the evening.

Seeing Wang Bing being listless, the father thought that it seemed that it would be impossible to solve the problem if he didn't talk to his son, so he smiled and said, "Son, why are you feeling depressed these days? Do you have any worries? Tell your father to see if he can help you?"

"It's nothing, dad!" Wang Bing said with some consolation, thinking to himself, he has no books to read and can't play with the children, so he's depressed.

The mother looked at her father and knew that what her father said before was reasonable. She hugged Wang Bing in her arms with some affection, kissed Prince Bing on the face and said, "Do you want to go to the village to play? Why don't your mother take you there tomorrow?"

Since Wang Bing's family is about five miles away from the village, Wang Bing rarely goes there. Occasionally, his mother also takes Wang Bing to the village for a walk and play with the children in the village. At other times, Wang Bing reads books quietly alone. Wang Bing thinks reading is my greatest pleasure.

"I just went there the day before yesterday, and I don't want to go there now." Wang Bing said in a state of urgency. Indeed, Wang Bing was no longer interested in playing with the children at this time.

The father smiled at his mother and then asked, "Son, is it because he has no books to read, that he has something to worry about?"

Wang Bing raised his face and looked at his parents, blinked his big eyes, guessing that his parents already knew the reason for his depression, but what could they do, and said helplessly: "Dad, mom, you know, you're asking me."

The father looked at his mother proudly, meaning you see, I was right, and the mother smiled helplessly, thinking to herself, it seemed that she didn't know enough about her son.

The father's mind is not as delicate as his mother. He thinks that it is a good thing for his son to like to study, and it has the advantages of the Wang family.

So he said to me mysteriously: "Don't worry, my son, I will give you a surprise tomorrow and I will guarantee you to like it!"

Wang Bing thought to himself, what is so mysterious, so he asked in confusion: "Can you tell me what it is? Dad, I want to know now!"

"It's very late now, I'll tell you tomorrow," said my father. He didn't want me to be so excited that I couldn't sleep at night.

Wang Bing naturally didn't understand what his father was thinking, and asked in confusion: "Dad, you can't be lying to me, huh! I'm not that easy to lie to me." I frowned and looked disbelief.

"What? Dad lie to you, you kid, when did Dad lie to you?" The father raised his voice. He deliberately joked with Wang Bing, using this to change the topic and attract Wang Bing's attention.

Wang Bing and his father often joked, but how could he not understand, and he deliberately said: "Then why didn't you tell me? It would be strange if you weren't lying to me?"

Wang Bing's disbelief made his father angry: "If you don't tell you, you are lying to you. This is the truth of that school. You guys won't make up the truth by yourself, right?"

My mother was ridiculous about the conversation between us father and son and said to me: "Son, your father didn't lie to you, mom will guarantee you!"

When a mother stood up, Wang Bing knew that she could not let her father say it, so she had to stretch out her tongue helplessly, grimaced and said, "For my mother's guarantee, I had to believe it, but I only believed half of it, and the other half could not be guaranteed." She could not be completely defeated by her father, otherwise he would be embarrassed.

The mother thought that the father and son would fight endlessly, so she carried Wang Bing to the bed in the room, patted Wang Bing on the face and said, "Sleep, I believe your father will not lie to you."

Wang Bing slept in the bed, thinking about what exactly it was. What he needed most now was books, but there were no books at home. Looking at the expressions of his father and mother, it was not like lying to him. If it was a book, it would be great. He fell asleep in a daze with a worry of gains and losses.

The next day, it was a sunny day.

In order to get his father's surprise, Wang Bing got up very early. After a few minutes of breakfast, he followed his father to the stone wall behind the yard.

Wang Bing didn't understand what his father was going to do. He was very familiar with him here. He closed his eyes and knew something. He saw his father gently pressing a protruding stone inward. The stone wall in front of him slowly moved to the right, and a one-person-high stone door appeared. Then his father looked at me silently and walked into the stone door. Wang Bing followed his father into the stone door in surprise, shocked by what he saw in front of him.

This is a large stone room with a living room, study room, bedroom, and collection room. The living room is decorated very simple, with only stone tables and chairs made of stones. There is a night pearl embedded on the top of the room, which makes the light look good and soft.

Wang Bing couldn't help but feel confused and ran to every stone room to inspect. He never thought that there would be such a stone room behind his yard, and one of them was his dream study room.

My father woke up Wang Bing who was intoxicated, pointed to the stone chair and asked Wang Bing to sit down, and then sat down himself, with a serious expression. He was silent for a moment and said: "This stone room was left by our ancestors of the Wang family and the hard work of several generations of our Wang family. I will give it to you today, and I hope you can save it well in this life."

Wang Bing was so dizzy that he thought to himself: "I got treasure today, and these books are enough for me to read." He asked excitedly: "Really, Dad, it really belongs to me in the future." He almost thought he had heard it wrong.

The father could understand his mood at this moment, thinking, I was not as good as you back then, nodding and saying, "Really, son, you heard it right," and then said, "But son, you must understand the history and ancestral teachings of the Wang family before you accept it."

"Okay, dad!" Wang Bing nodded seriously. The more well-behaved he was this time, he asked, "What is it?" Because his parents never mentioned it to him, even if his father brought him here today, he would never dream of another world.

My father told Wang Bing about his ancestors who came to Jiutian Mountain to live in seclusion and left behind the legacy passed down from generation to generation. The descendants followed the ancestral teachings and lived in Jiutian Mountain...

The father finally said, "Why is this the hard work of the Wang family? Because every generation of children were brought here by their elders from the age of six, and they could not leave until they became adults, and they were admitted to the examination for the status of scholars. Then they went to various places to practice. After the experience, they brought back a large number of travel notes and books. In their seclusion, they wrote down their own experiences. Over the years, these experiences, experiences, experiences, books, including all aspects, cover a wide range of contents."

Wang Bing listened quietly to his father's story, feeling excited and felt very proud inside because he was also a descendant of the Wang family.

My father continued: "In recent generations, due to the poverty of life, each generation can only keep one or two people studying here, which basically declined. There are few people in Wangjia Village today. As for the things in the collection room, although many of them are very precious, they are brought back by experienced practitioners of all generations and do not pay attention to them, so they just throw them there casually."

Wang Bing glanced at several stone chambers and was impressed by the minds of his ancestors. No matter what they thought at that time, the most precious thing was left to the future generations.

Finally, my father said: "Social development has reached now. Due to the changes of the times, the ancestral teachings are not necessarily suitable for you. By the time your grandfather's generation has broken the ancestral teachings. My only requirement for you is to keep the efforts of the past generations and cherish it."

Wang Bing was in a state of great emotion and said confidently: "Believe me, dad, I will, because I am also a descendant of the Wang family." This moment made him feel how happy the descendants of the Wang family are!

...

After his father left, Wang Bing looked at the stone room again with excitement. Of course, the study room was the first choice. He had to admire the experienced practitioners of all generations. In addition to some experiences and travel notes, he collected a large number of books. These books are very extensive, including piano, chess, books, paintings, various schools of thought, local customs and cultures, military, medical books, etc.

Among them, he likes military, medical books and travel notes, experiences and experiences of experienced practitioners of all generations. Other books are simply understood but not deeply understood.

The storage room was messy, with rusty swords and various strange-shaped stones. On the right stone wall was a very old wooden rack filled with all kinds of things. He flipped it around casually, and Wang Bing was not interested in these things, or he was not as interested as I was. It was a dark wooden box that attracted my idea. He swept away the dust on the lid of the wooden box, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a piece of green stone with a soft blue light inside the box. He felt cold and comfortable in his hand.

"It seems that the ancestors think it is extraordinary and put it in a box," Wang Bing thought to himself. In fact, he didn't know that there were many unknown and extremely precious things among these things. It was just that the ancestors had always lived in seclusion in the mountains, using reading and farming as entertainment, and they could not use them to put them here.

From now on, Wang Bing was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and life showed him its vast side.
To be continued...
