Chapter 21: Take it for me
"It's been almost a day, why is there no one, can't go on like this!"
Squatting in the corner, looking at the crowd coming and going, Chu Fan couldn't help but sigh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoPeople on the street are indeed coming and going, but unfortunately they don't make up here. Think about the time when I followed the old Taoist priest out, as soon as the signboard was released here, people sat here, and immediately people flocked to it. How can it be like Chu Fan who has been sitting here for most of the day now, and there is not even a single person to patronize.
I have to say that the old Taoist priest has been operating here for so many years, and his reputation is not covered. Since he wanted to accumulate prestige, Chu Fan naturally remembered this old business. As long as you do one or two things that are sensational enough, and you have enough fame, this reputation will naturally be there.
However, looking at his stall, Chu Fan shook his head helplessly. It seems that the gap between himself and the old Taoist priest is not half a star, but it is not enough to just wait here!
Since there are no conditions, then create them. Countless classic cases tell us that fame is not something that waits for it, but something that comes out of it. If it really doesn't work, he will make things happen by himself and solve it by himself, and he won't believe it and can't fool the people here!
"Yuanyang real person accompanying the travelogue?" After waiting for a while, there was still no customer in front of the stall. When he was bored, Chu Fan opened the book he was carrying. That is, the book that returned with him.
Opening the first page and looking at the words written on it, Chu Fan couldn't help but sigh again, "I just said that it was this notebook, and it was really true, there was really no surprise!" ā
According to the preface above, it is known that this is a note accompanying an ancient Taoist priest named Yuanyang Zhenren, recording all kinds of things he has encountered in various places for so many years. Well, it's time to watch the story!
Flipping through the transcript and reading it slowly, Chu Fan was obsessed with it unconsciously. This records all kinds of interesting things and dangers experienced by this Yuanyang real person, and the story of this Yuanyang real person is also written with ups and downs. It's no wonder that this record has a thick pile, several volumes, and there are not many stories recorded in one volume. In this way, it's not too much to write a few more volumes!
However, in Chu Fan's opinion, there seem to be suspicions of bragging in many places, and Chu Fan also laughed at this. It seems that this Yuanyang Zhenren is also an expert in making up stories, or he is not a Taoist priest at all, but a story similar to Pu Songling's scholar who borrowed the name of Yuanyang Zhenren!
But suddenly, Chu Fan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stand up. There are all kinds of techniques and methods interspersed in these stories, and Chu Fanquan used to see them as stories, but at this moment, he can't help but ignore them. As far as Chu Fan is looking at the story now, the method is the method recorded in the secret record handed over to him by Uncle Jiu.
"Damn, no!" After seeing this, Chu Fan suddenly overturned all his previous speculations. Looking back at what he had seen before, the somewhat outrageous stories now seemed to make sense in many places, and even gave him a sense of enlightenment.
"Good stuff, really good stuff!" If the above things are true, then the value of this record is no longer under the secret record given to him by Uncle Jiu, and it is even exceeded!
continued to look at it, and before he knew it, the sky was slowly getting dark, and Chu Fan didn't even know much about it. There are not only various techniques on this book, but also many formations, charms, etc., of course, most of them are covered by one stroke, and there is no writing on how to arrange them.
But in some places, it may be written, and the detailed layout method will also be recorded, as well as the drawing method of the charm, etc., Chu Fan is excited to see it. The content in this has been learned by Chu Fan, but there are more things that Chu Fan has never heard of.
More importantly, it records the various dangers experienced by this Yuanyang real person, as well as various ways to deal with them, which are full of experience. Although many places are vague, they provide Chu Fan with a lot of references. If such a thing happens, he will not be in a hurry!
Flipping through the book quickly, Chu Fan gradually became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself. When it gradually became clear, he looked up, but he was startled when he saw that the sky had already darkened unconsciously, and only then did Chu Fan realize that it was getting late.
Riding a horse and rushing home at night, he hurried back home, but after arriving home, Chu Fan was suddenly dumbfounded. He noticed that the door to his house seemed to be wide open, but when he left, he had closed the window and the door. Seeing this scene, Chu Fan secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and immediately rushed back quickly.
"Is this a thief at home?" The lock at the door was obviously broken by a sharp weapon, which had already alerted Chu Fan. And when Chu Fan walked inside, he suddenly wanted to scold his mother angrily, and everything in the house was turned into a mess. The whole room was very messy, basically everything was turned out, even the doors and windows were removed.
Seeing this scene, Chu Fan couldn't help but feel angry. Then I hurriedly looked for it, not only was there no money left in the family, but all kinds of flowers and plants, porcelain vases, and even pots and pans were basically smashed. This is here to steal things, this is clearly to raid the house!
Fortunately, Chu Fan has not been very confident about the anti-theft technology and security level here, so most of the things are put close to his body, and the rest of the valuables are also hidden in a secret place in the back mountain. Otherwise, it will be a huge loss!
However, the gold ingots given by the Shen family last night, as well as the gold bars brought back by Chu Fan, except for one that was stored close to him, the rest of Chu Fan was kept at home. It's all gone, and it directly shrunk at least half of his net worth, which is a hundred taels of gold!
In desperation, Chu Fan had only one way to report to the official. In any case, he had to have an explanation, otherwise it would not be a solution for the thieves to patronize him all the time. It's his house near here, and if they come to the night gun, it's not like crying without tears.
Fortunately, he heard that the county magistrate here has always had a good reputation and is known for its impartial law enforcement. Otherwise, he wouldn't be stunned to report to the official. And fortunately, his master has been operating here for many years, and he is a little famous, and the county order can more or less give some face. As long as the case can be solved, even if the Qian County Order Arrest Gang here is secretly greedy for more than half of it, he can still give him some leftovers!
Immediately, Chu Fan went to the county to report the case, which involved hundreds of taels of gold, and the county did not slack off, and immediately sent elite soldiers to investigate. And Chu Fan didn't go home, but just found an inn nearby to stay!
Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Fan set up a stall outside to see the situation. However, business seems to have not improved, and Chu Fan has even secretly made a decision, if it really doesn't work, then he can only rely on the trick of "hype"!
"Oh, is someone wrong?" Just as Chu Fan was reading the transcript, there was a sudden noise in his ears. When he looked up, he saw a group of swaggering and menacing catchers, and Chu Fan couldn't help but secretly watch from the side. For most people, it's not too much to watch the excitement, and Chu Fan is naturally no exception.
But in Chu Fan's curious eyes, these unhappiness walked to Chu Fan's side, pointed at Chu Fan head-on, and said loudly, "It's him, take it for me!" ā
"It's broken!"
