Courtyard House: Passing through the Silly Pillar, Activating the Blessed Cave Heaven

5

A stream flows down from the mountain to the north and empties into the lake.

The lake is about 300 meters wide, which adds up to about 70,000 to 80,000 square meters.

At the south end of the lake is a ten-meter-high waterfall, at the bottom of which a pool thirty meters wide is formed. From the southeast corner of the pool, a river channel three or four meters wide extends westward in a winding manner.

He Yuzhu looked at the crystal-clear lake water, quickly stripped off his clothes, and plunged into the water with a splash, splashing around happily.

After playing enough, he went ashore, got dressed, and felt much more refreshed.

With a thought, he returned to his home in the real world, and was immediately enveloped by a chill, shivering from the cold—the harsh winters of Beiping were no joke.

He quickly wrapped himself in a cotton-padded jacket and trousers, crawled out of bed, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, and found Sichuan peppercorns, rattan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, dried chili peppers, garlic, potatoes, soybeans, and peanuts. He grabbed some of each, picked up the shovel in the corner of the wall, and returned to the blessed land.

This time, he simply stripped naked and ran towards the lake at the foot of the mountain.

He Yuzhu took ten seeds each of Sichuan pepper, green Sichuan pepper, and Sichuan peppercorn.

You don't need many of these seasonings; just enough for daily use is fine.

He quickly buried the thirty seeds in the moist soil.

Next, he chose an open space, crushed the dried chili peppers to extract the seeds, and buried one seed every meter.

As He Yuzhu wielded his shovel, he worked up a sweat.

When it was time to plant soybeans, he simply took a shortcut and planted one soybean every ten meters, thinking that he would let it grow and reproduce naturally in the future.

After planting all the seeds, He Yuzhu jumped into the lake to wash away the sweat and mud.

The temperature inside the blessed land cave is about 32 degrees Celsius, which is warm and comfortable. I just don't know if the seasons change here like they do outside.

He suddenly remembered that camellia trees seemed to only adapt to the southern climate, and if the cave had four distinct seasons, they would probably have difficulty surviving.

After drying off the water droplets on his body, He Yuzhu put on his clothes and left the blessed land.

The soil is already moist when sowing, so there is no need to water it immediately. Just wait patiently for the seeds to sprout.

Back home, the wind was biting cold outside, and He Yuzhu didn't bother going out again.

Remembering that the original owner died of a high fever, which allowed him to transmigrate, he decided to practice the Eight Pieces of Brocade to strengthen his body.

In his previous life, as a veteran Douyin user, he not only watched dance videos but also learned a lot from the chefs and martial arts streamers on the platform. Although he didn't master any real kung fu, he had memorized the moves of Baduanjin.

Returning to the blessed land, He Yuzhu stepped into the palace he named "Wuji Palace".

Standing in the center of the main hall, he closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to move according to his memory:

Supporting the sky with both hands regulates the three burners.

Drawing the bow left and right as if shooting an eagle,

To regulate the spleen and stomach, one must lift one arm.

Looking back at the five strains and seven injuries...

Shaking its head and wagging its tail dispels internal heat.

Grasp your feet with both hands to strengthen your kidneys and waist.

Clenching fists and glaring eyes increases strength.

Seven swaying motions from behind cure all diseases.

After each repetition, he would sit cross-legged on the Enlightenment Stone to reflect and correct his mistakes. He repeated this process three times before returning home.

The clock struck 1:05. He Yuzhu heated up the leftovers, ate them, and went to sleep.

He Yuzhu was awakened by the noise outside. Upon closer listening, he realized that his neighbors were gradually leaving get off work and going home.

He realized he couldn't sleep anymore, because his father, He Daqing, would be returning soon.

He Yuzhu hadn't figured out how to face this adoptive father, not to mention his two-year-old sister, He Yushui.
