Sun Cheng opened his eyes again when he heard the sound of firewood being chopped in the nearby courtyard.
He let out a long breath and subconsciously looked at the window.
The sky outside had already begun to brighten.
Sun Cheng estimated the time and immediately guessed that it should be around six o'clock in the morning.
He took out a set of grooming tools from his inner world.
Sun Cheng endured the discomfort. After washing up with tooth powder, he took out a plate of braised pork head and a large bowl of sweet potato porridge from his inner world.
This food was prepared for him by the maids in the courtyard house in the Inner world.
Usually, Sun Cheng's three meals a day were mostly taken care of by them.
He would only do it himself when it was inconvenient for the outside world.
Even though it was early in the morning, Sun Cheng didn't feel that eating meat was too greasy.
People who practiced martial arts needed nourishment. In the past few years, because he had started to practice Tiger Fist, his physical consumption was twice that of ordinary people.
Sun Cheng had once experimented on himself!
If he didn't eat meat, he would only rely on food for three meals a day. He even ate more than ten catties of rice and steamed buns for three meals, but he still felt a faint dissatisfaction in his body.
It was true that eating meat could increase one's strength.
From then on, Sun Cheng had to eat meat for three meals a day, including chicken, duck, fish, pigs, and sheep. He had to eat at least three to five catties of meat a day.
Sun Cheng began to eat the braised pork head meat in big mouthfuls.
Although Taoism didn't have as many rules as Buddhism, there were still many taboos.
The most famous was the four taboos of diet, which were not eating beef, not eating mullet, not eating wild geese, and not eating dog meat.
According to Taoism, these four animals represented kindness, filial piety, chastity, and loyalty. They were the four most precious virtues in the world.
Thus, those who believed in the Dao did not eat these four taboos.
Although Sun Cheng wasn't a Daoist priest, he had a heart of Dao in this life.
After asking around and confirming that the Daoists of this world indeed abided by the four taboos of food and drink.
Although he was reluctant to part with the delicious beef, Sun Cheng had indeed done it in the past few years. He had never touched beef again.
In any case, the food culture of Xia country was extensive and profound. Without beef, it would not be much worse.
For Sun Cheng, who was considered half a foodie, it was barely acceptable.
As for the other three taboos, he didn't have the habit of eating them anyway, so he naturally didn't care.
After finishing his breakfast, Sun Cheng threw the utensils into the inner world. Naturally, there would be maids to clean them up for him.
He solemnly put away the 'Inner Core Breathing Technique' that his second uncle had given him and placed it in an underground secret chamber that only he knew of in the Inner world's courtyard house.
In any case, Sun Cheng could easily take out the things in the inner world with just a thought.
After doing all this, he got up and left the old mansion. He welcomed the morning sun and walked out of the town.
Four hours later, Sun Cheng, who was not slow, arrived at a valley about 27 miles away from Shangxiang Town.
He first chose a big tree and nimbly climbed up.
After being on guard for a while and making sure that no one was following him, he jumped down again.
Immediately, Sun Cheng walked straight towards a small hill not far away.
In the past few years, he would disappear for two to three days every half a month. Naturally, he was not going out of town to buy sweet potatoes.
Instead, he continued to do the same thing, which was to open the mountain.
Shangxiang Town was surrounded by mountains, and it was what the people of Xia Country often called a remote and poor place.
In the late Qing Dynasty, before the start of large-scale industries, it was blocked by mountains and rivers. To communicate with the outside world, one had to climb mountains and cross rivers, making it extremely inconvenient.
Therefore, in the past few hundred years, Shangxiang Town, which was located at the junction of Guangxi and Guangdong, had never developed.
As for Sun Cheng, he was here to open the mountain.
To be more precise, he was preparing to open up a few tunnels that could be freely traversed on the mountains surrounding Shangxiang Town.
Building roads and bridges had always been a good deed in the eyes of the Xia people.
Sun Cheng also knew that if he completed this task, he would definitely gain countless Karma points. Therefore, he had been persistent in the past few years.
Soon, he arrived at the foot of the mountain. Looking at a place covered by trees and dead branches, a smile appeared on his face.
Immediately, he picked up a withered branch skillfully. Sun Cheng first knocked on the place covered by the pile of trees and dead branches.
Not long after, the snakes were frightened and fled in a hurry.
Goosebumps appeared on the back of Sun Cheng's hand.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had alerted the enemy in advance.
Shangxiang Town was located in the south. If there was anything Sun Cheng was not used to, it would be that there were too many mosquitoes and snakes.
Mosquitoes were fine. He found a doctor in town to make a mosquito repellent.
After several years of Sun Cheng's improvement, the effect of lighting some incense in the incense burner before going to bed was comparable to mosquito repellent incense in the later generations.
However, he really couldn't deal with that snake.
It wasn't that he was afraid of being bitten by a snake, but in his previous life, when Sun Cheng was a child in his hometown in the countryside, a non-poisonous snake had crawled under his bed.
Even now, he still remembered the terrifying feeling of a cold worm crawling around under the blanket when he was sleeping.
Since then, Sun Cheng had developed a phobia of snakes. Even if it was a non-poisonous water snake, his hands and feet would turn cold when he saw it.
After scaring away the snakes and insects, he deftly lifted the trees and dead branches that were piled up together.
A hole about three meters tall and three meters wide was revealed.
Sun Cheng grabbed at the air and took out a torch from his inner world.
He lit it with a match and walked into the cave with the torch.
