Xu Chen silently untied the small cloth bag he wore around his neck, took out the ordinary-looking jade pendant, and asked aloud: "What is the function of this thing other than being able to cover up the so-called heavenly machine on my body?"

Abbot Huineng replied: "I don't know!"

For the abbot's calmness, Xu Chen bowed slightly, and then asked again: "Look at the pattern in this jade pendant, it seems to be broken?"

Abbot Huineng nodded and replied, "There is more than one jade pendant!"

Xu Chen exclaimed in surprise: "What? More than one? How many pieces are there?"

Abbot Huineng replied: "Five pieces!"

Xu Chen's expression moved, and he said, "Have you collected them all?"

Abbot Huineng said: "That's right!"

Xu Chen then asked, "Still haven't been able to unravel it?"

Master Huineng bowed silently.

Xu Chen asked again, "Where are the remaining pieces?"

Master Huineng shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Xu Chen frowned, puzzled, "Why is this?"

Since it has been collected, there is absolutely no reason for such a mysterious thing to be lost again!But why......

The abbot of Huineng looked at Xu Chen and explained: "I also took out this piece of jade pendant of Wanjia back then, and then by chance I collected all the remaining four pieces, but I have never solved the secret of the jade pendant, and after twenty years, the five jade pendants disappeared without a trace overnight, and then I went to Wanjia to take a look, only to find that the jade pendant has returned to the ancestral temple of Wanjia!"

"What? You mean this jade pendant is self-conscious?" Xu Chen was shocked when he heard it.

"What's so strange about this? Treasures have spirits, and some supreme treasures even have spirituality that is not inferior to others! It's just that after so many years, this kind of treasures with spirituality are rare!" said Abbot Huineng.

"Does that mean that the Wan family deliberately released the jade pendant?" asked Xu Chen.

"That's right, since things will come back automatically in twenty years, how can the Wan family worry about losing the jade pendant?" Master Huineng replied.

"Damn! I was tricked by him!" Recalling Wan Shijun's reluctant expression at the beginning, Xu Chen was depressed for a while!

Xu Chen's depression didn't last long, so he asked again: "So, you have been waiting in Yuzhang City all these years?"

Abbot Huineng nodded and replied, "That's right! Since the cultivation can't go all the way, it is natural to change another way!"

"Why?" Xu Chen asked.

"Because of freedom!" Abbot Huineng replied without hesitation, and then said: "An ant has never seen the height of the sky, so it can only work with its head down, but for thousands of years, there will always be a few ants who raise their heads to look at the sky will have the idea of rushing to the sky, although it is rare, but there will always be! And I am such an ant!"

After Xu Chen listened, he was silent for a long time before chuckling and said, "Then your ant is really big enough!"

Abbot Huineng didn't smile, but looked at him and said quietly: "Where will you go?"

"Hehe", Xu Chen smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Do I have any other choice?"

Abbot Huineng smiled, his eyes full of expectation.

"How do I do this?" asked Xu Chen.

"How to go from weak to strong, you have done a very good job now!" said Abbot Huineng.

"So, I'm going to collect the remaining four jade pendants while evading the pursuit of these people?" Xu Chen said with a smile.

Abbot Huineng bowed slightly, and said: "Or you can also take the initiative to kill the door, of course, the premise is that you have that strength!"

"Hehe, this task is really arduous!" Xu Chen smiled bitterly.

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Abbot Huineng asked as he looked at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen smiled knowingly and said, "I don't belong to this world, maybe I just don't belong to this time and space!"

Abbot Huineng was stunned when he heard this, and only after a long time did he sigh: "I see!"

The conversation reached this point, Xu Chen had already returned, and after saying goodbye, he left in a hurry, leaving only Abbot Huineng looking at the empty hall in a daze.

"No wonder! No wonder ......."

Maybe the wine was too strong, or maybe the heart was too painful, when Xu Chen returned to the small courtyard, the room full of teenagers still hadn't woken up.

Xu Chen smiled knowingly, returned to his place lightly and sat down, holding the jade pendant in his hand and watching quietly.

When it was almost dawn, Lu Hao and several people at the same table woke up one after another.

"Big brother, you're back!" Xiao Shi's voice was the loudest, and the surprise was even louder, and the teenagers in the room woke up one after another, looking at Xu Chen excitedly.

Xu Chen, who was making trouble, smiled bitterly, so he had to put down his hand, and he couldn't make the quiet gesture.

"What are you talking about! Big brother hasn't left today!" Lu Hao reacted the fastest, and just when the excited little stone wanted to ask, he shouted to stop him.

Seeing that the teenagers reacted one after another, Lu Hao immediately ordered: "What should I do, what should I do! After the morning exercise, gather in the backyard wing, the eldest brother has something to say!"

After speaking, he looked at Xu Chen, Xu Chen touched his nose and smiled stupidly.

After the teenagers' morning exercise, in the wing room in the backyard, Xu Chen told the teenagers all about the qiē.

It's just that most of the teenagers heard it in a fog and didn't understand it at all! But, whatever! In the minds of the teenagers, since they want to find trouble with their eldest brother, they are the enemy! The countermeasures against the enemy teenagers have always been very simple, and when their strength is sufficient, they will destroy all the enemies! If you can't win a fight now, it doesn't mean that you won't be able to win a fight in the future! Anyway, with a big brother here, your own strength will be able to go up sooner or later!

However, Lu Hao and a few others who roughly understood it fell into a deep silence after listening.

"I see! No wonder the eldest brother has always refused to say that the opponent is such a cunning!" several teenagers thought to themselves.

"Is there a chance of winning?" After being silent for a long time, Lu Hao asked out loud.

"It's too early to talk about victory or defeat, take your time! The key is that you can't mess around, you will always find a way!" Xu Chen replied.

Lu Hao smiled apologetically, and suddenly heard this great change, even Lu Hao's heart was in turmoil.

"Big brother, Chai Lao is here!" a teenager came in to report.

"It seems that Chai Lao's business is over!Let him come and see me!" Xu Chen replied.

A moment later, Chai Lao, dressed in black, appeared in the wing.

As soon as Chai Lao entered the house, he bowed to Xu Chen and said, "Thank you, son!"

Xu Chen smiled: "Get up!"

Chai Lao stood up, took out a brocade box from his arms, held it in front of Xu Chen with both hands, and said: "Son, forgive me!

Xu Chen took it calmly, put it aside without looking at it, and said with a smile: "I don't need this thing!"

Chai Lao's face changed slightly, and then he said more humbly: "Childe is really extraordinary!"

Xu Chen looked at him with a smile and said nothing, and suddenly felt that today's Chai Lao had changed a little in temperament compared with the past, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart, and then asked out loud: "Chai Lao is now in the Grandmaster Realm, right?"

Chai Lao's face showed surprise, looked at Xu Chen, and then said calmly: "Childe is really good eyesight! The old slave has a great revenge, his mind is clear, and he had an epiphany, and he just broke through the realm last night!"

As soon as he heard Chai Lao's words, Xu Chen was nothing, but Lu Hao glanced at the teenagers slightly, so the teenagers began to be on guard.

The wing room in the backyard is the confidential room that Xu Chen finally wants, and few people usually enter. Today, it is impossible for the teenagers to come here to discuss important matters with their blades. Xu Chen's meeting of Chai Lao on such a critical ground was also to convey the intention of attracting trust. But now that Chai Lao has become a grandmaster, it is more difficult to recruit, and the teenagers have to be wary of him.

But it's just a defense, there is no fear in the face of the grandmaster boys, although there is no blade in the hand, but as long as you block a move, the teenagers guarding outside the door will rush in, at that time, the teenagers who are in formation are the grandmasters!

Chai Lao ignored the young people on guard, and neither did Xu Chen!

"Geng Yanqiu is Chai Lao's granddaughter, right?" Xu Chen asked suddenly, his thinking jumping.

However, Chai Lao obviously followed, and replied calmly: "That's right! Peng Ze is a back road arranged by the old slave on Changshan Island. ”

"They're mine now!" Xu Chen said with a smile.

"It's their blessing to be able to do things for their son!" Chai Lao said humbly.

Xu Chen nodded slightly, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Which hand does Chai Lao use?"

Chai Lao's face changed, and he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The old slave is used to using his right hand, and this left hand is useless, so he will return it to his son to atone for the offense of the day!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the software on his waist and was about to cut off his left arm!

"Wait! one hand is gone, leave two fingers, otherwise, the grandmaster who has fallen by force will not be of much use!" Xu Chen said with a smile.

Chai Lao smiled gratefully, the cold light flashed, and the little finger and ring finger of his left hand fell in response, but Chai Lao calmly bandaged the wound as if he was fine, and then bowed down and stood beside Xu Chen, with a subordinate posture.

After subduing Chai Lao, Xu Chen said to the young men: "Go and pack up all the things, and in a few days we will leave Yuzhang and go to Shengzhou! Although they are gone, they have not found anyone in Yuzhang City this time, I am afraid that they will come back again in a short time!"

The young men naturally knew who the "they" in the eldest brother's mouth were, and they nodded when they heard the words.

"Third child, you will go to Wanjia for a trip later, and send two turtle boats over! In addition, take over half of the craftsmen of the Hongzhou Shipyard promised by Wan Shijun, remember, try to pick those boatmen who are young, have few ties, and have excellent skills, and don't ask for those pretentious old guys!" Xu Chen said.

"However, if the young boatmen only know how to construct and can't design, we still can't build a ship!" Wang Ce wondered, and it was only at this time that the teenagers understood why the eldest brother had always been good at using orphans, broken families and other people with simple family backgrounds, it turned out that it was really for the convenience of transfer!

"What are you afraid of if you don't know how to design? They won't will! Don't think it's a pity to send the turtle boat out, the turtle boat is just a transition, I have a lot of ships that are much more advanced than the turtle boat, as long as there are boatmen and materials, no matter how many sea boats can be built!" Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Really, that's a good dare!" Zheng Tai looked at Xu Chen with bright eyes, and then volunteered to follow Wang Ce to Hongzhou Shipyard to select shipwrights.
