On the New Year’s Eve of the first lunar month, people sweep the house, offer sacrifices, and hang peach charms.

For some reasons, Tu Zhen had to stay at Xie's house to celebrate the New Year. Xie Xian felt unfair that others couldn't sit idle while she was exhausted, so hanging peach charms became Tu Zhen's task.

"Hey, a little to the left, to the left."

"Yes, there's one more side." Qingdai stood on tiptoe and handed the peach charm to Tu Zhen.

"Mrs. Tu's skills are amazing. If we were to do it ourselves, it wouldn't be that fast, hehe."

"That's because my ladder is convenient!" Xie Xian said with squinted eyes, holding a piece of fried fish in her mouth.

"Now that you have skills, it's so convenient to go up and down!" Qingdai was really envious.

"Tsk~" That's because he has well-trained core body.

In Xie Xian's opinion, the chivalrous men of this era do not have the amazing kung fu described in Mr. Jin's novels, such as flying over eaves and walls, transforming into horses, and controlling qi to injure people.

It is only similar to traditional Chinese martial arts, both of which explore the limits of the body, make oneself flexible, rely on speed of attack, acupoints and blood essence to maintain muscle activity, and strengthen life in both directions to achieve the effect of prolonging life.

It is the type that as long as you live long enough, you can send your enemies away.

Most of those who can fight are from outsiders, and can defeat a hundred people at most. Therefore, the court did not take seriously the heroes who could be suppressed by the army.

When Tu Zhen first heard the news, the disappointment on Xie Xian's face was so obvious that it made him confused. But after listening to Xie Xian's story about The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he couldn't stop.

The advanced martial arts, inner strength, and elements of Qimen Dunjia displayed therein far exceed the scope of historical records of this world.

Unique skills such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Nine Yin Scriptures, as well as mysterious places such as Peach Blossom Island and White Camel Mountain, will all inspire endless imagination.

I can't stop listening to the stories about the grudges and love between people in the martial arts world.

"The greatest heroes serve their country and their people, and they should be made public." Gao Shi, who was squatting on the wall, said happily.

A few more heads popped up nearby, "Brother, why are you up there again? Have you forgotten that you were beaten so badly that you couldn't get out of bed two days ago?"

Xie Xian covered her face. These funny guys were quite capable. Ever since Taozhuang listened to a few chapters, they followed all the way to the Inkstone Washing Pool.

But they were not allowed in because of their identities, so they squatted on the wall and listened. Even after being beaten several times by Tu Zhen, their enthusiasm did not diminish at all.

"Everyone, aren't you going back to the mountain gate during the first month of the year?"

The Mo Sect is truly located deep in the mountains and forests, and the journey is long. There are not many people in the sect, but is it really okay not to go back during the New Year?

Thinking of how he spent the New Year in the mountains every year, suffering from hunger and cold, and freezing like a dog, Gao Shi shuddered and said with a chuckle, "It will take some time to develop the several mechanisms."

Well, the excuse he found was very sufficient. In order to stay here and spend a warm year, he even took out a few drawings that the giant had recently developed.

This made Chu Mo always feel like he had missed something.

"Yes, it will take some time. Big brother's roast chicken on the street is really delicious!" The people behind Gao Shi have also gotten used to it. These days, they first squat on the wall to admire the past stories of the great hero Jin Yong, and then go for a walk on the street to buy some food.

"These scumbags," Tu Zhen scolded with a smile. At first, he taught them a lesson because they were not following the rules, but even though these five heroes of the Mohist School were beaten black and blue, they did not fight back at all.

"We were in the wrong first, and if Madam Tu wants to fight, then we'll do it." Gao Shi said so, which made Tu Zhen feel that she was bullying the weak every time. Xie Xian simply didn't care about this and let them squat on the wall.

Everyone in Xiyanchi gradually got used to these unreliable guys.

Gao Shi bowed to Xie Xian, then swiftly climbed down the wall. Now that they had money in their hands, they wanted their fellow disciples to have a good New Year, but they didn't want it to be as miserable as in previous years.

"Brother, you almost stepped on me just now!"

Gao Shi curled his lips, "It's obviously you who didn't stand properly."

"No way, it's obviously the big brother who has gained weight and grown taller." Someone observed carefully.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, looked at each other, and sighed: "Yeah, how come everyone has gained weight?" They had agreed to go back after getting the drawings, but they ended up staying here until now without realizing it.

Gao Shi grinned: "There is nothing to sigh about. Now I have money in my hands. I hope that everyone in the sect can have a good New Year." Apart from the Queen's office, where else can you get such a good job? Not only is the meal provided, but as long as the idea is approved by Xie Xian, you can get anything you want.

They were thinking, "Let's go quickly and ask someone to send the banknote back."

"It's too late to buy New Year's goods now. It will take some time to send the silver note back! I heard that the escort business here has stopped!" Several people bought chicken legs and ate them in their hands.

"Are you stupid? Isn't the biggest escort company here the Blackstone Guard?"

"what?"

"Let's go and ask brother Siji for help." Gao Shi said confidently.

The hidden weapons on the Black Stone Guards, and the small mechanism buckles on their belts and ropes were all designed by them. Due to Xie Xian's request, they took convenience and comfort into consideration, so after a few visits, Yu Siji and the others became familiar with each other.

They bought roast chicken, snacks, and wine and went to Taozhuang.

Walking on East Street, looking at the bustling street, everyone has smiles on their faces and sighs in their hearts.

In the past, they designed mechanical devices for the benefit of the common people, but in the end, most of them became playthings of the wealthy and powerful. They were obviously tools that could provide convenience, but they were made into small and exquisite toys with gold and silver for people to enjoy.

They are built directly for the people, but they will be robbed after they leave, and the people do not know how to maintain them, so all kinds of good things are just short-lived.

When they came down the mountain, the great ambition they made was to seek welfare for the common people. However, within three years, they had fallen to the point where they could only capture bandits and ask for rewards, and then use the money they earned to buy some food to distribute to the numerous civilians.

Although this is far more likely to please the people than any other objects.

But they knew that this was not a long-term solution. The things they created could not be kept by the common people, but if they were given to aristocratic families, sometimes it would be a disaster rather than a blessing.

Once, a merchant asked them to build a waterwheel to help alleviate the drought in his fields. He happily invited them to do the work. However, after the waterwheel was built, the tenants under the merchant's name became quite hostile to them.

Because water wheels were efficient and saved manpower, the merchants' fields did not require so much labor, and the tenant farmers were driven out by the merchants and became homeless refugees.

They were chased and beaten by a group of refugees, looking very miserable, but they could not refute. After that, the great master became silent, and the five heroes of Mohism became more low-key.

until.......

"Brother, is the dividend that Lady Lord mentioned last time true?"

Gao Shi came back to his senses and grinned, "The money is almost spent, and you're asking now!" When Xie Xian offered them dividends, they refused to accept it.
