71. Changing Gangs into Factions (Two Chapters in One)
Chen Ran was immediately overjoyed, this guy is quite efficient in doing things.
He hurriedly asked Sikong Ping to return to the small courtyard with him, and then asked him about the specific location of the site.
During this period of time, Sikong Ping has gradually adapted to the physical condition after the broken leg, and he is walking like a fly on crutches.
He took a big sip of the Banxia wine brought by Yun Jiang, and then said, "Master, I specially found a feng shui master, walked around Luoyang City, and chose a total of three places.
The first place is Xiaowolf Mountain, which is located in the last canyon of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, where the terrain is dangerous, and the water of the Yellow River is constantly turbulent. The walls on both sides of the bank are like cutting, and the river is rushing in the middle. It's definitely where the qi gathers.
The other is Wan'an Mountain in the southeast of Longmen Mountain. This mountain is the southern barrier of Luoyang City, and Zhongyue Song Mountain is far away, the ravine is deep and dangerous, and it is majestic and magnificent. The place to rush here is the hunting place of Emperor Wei Wen in the past, and there are often strange beasts with qi in their bodies.
The last place is Yuyang Mountain, north of the Yellow River, on the eastern edge of Wangwu Mountain. This place is far away from Luoyang, but it is close to the Xianshan Wangwu Mountain, where the mountains are majestic and the forests are luxuriant. It is also a place of luck. However, it is slightly inferior to Wangwu Mountain.
These three places are not contaminated by people in the martial arts. The title deeds are all in the hands of some rich landowners. It is not difficult to obtain, and they can all be built in a short period of time. ”
Chen Ran heard Sikong Ping's choices, these places are indeed good places.
He pondered carefully, the first little wolf mountain was supposed to be the place where Qi was the most abundant. This place is the pass of the Yellow River, where thousands of walls stand, coiling dragons and snakes. It's a good place to go. It's just that its terrain is too dangerous, and it's at the key crossing of the Yellow River. Once the Yellow River floods, the chances of flooding are too great. Moreover, the enemy can also use the water potential upstream to attack the entire mountain. If a gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, this place cannot be considered.
And Wan'an Mountain is relatively safer. But this place is just too close to the Shaolin Temple. To open a mountain and establish a faction near such a martial arts master, relationship and strength are indispensable. Now that the strength is too weak, it's better not to provoke others.
The third Yuyang Mountain is a choice worth considering. It's just that Wangwu Mountain next to it is undoubtedly more suitable. Compared with Yuyang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, although the two belong to the same mountain range, Yuyang Mountain cannot be compared with Wangwu Mountain in terms of vegetation to exotic beasts and then to the convergence of Qi Qi.
Thinking of this, Chen Ran asked Sikong Ping, "Why don't we directly occupy Wangwu Mountain next to Yuyang Mountain?" ”
Sikong Ping glanced at Chen Ran and explained in a deep voice: "Master doesn't know anything. This Wangwu Mountain is too big. It is known as the Optimus Pillar and is the place where the legendary Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor sacrifices to the sky. There is also an ancient Temple of Heaven on the mountain, which is the site of Emperor Xuanyuan welcoming the Nine Heavens Xuannu. ”
"Where the Yellow Emperor sacrifices to the heavens?" Chen Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.
Sikong Ping looked at Chen Ran's longing eyes, and hurriedly said, "But it is now the royal dojo of the imperial court. There is also Ying'en Palace and Wudoin Temple. Later, the imperial court moved south to Lin'an, and Wangwushan came less, but there was still a Taoist priest of the imperial court stationed there, and now the palace is still being built. Master wants to occupy Wangwu Mountain, but I'm afraid that some... Some..."
"Some idiots talk about dreams, right?" Chen Ran added.
Sikong Ping didn't dare to say this, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
Chen Ran smiled slightly: "I'm not that reckless person, since it's the dojo of the imperial court, then I definitely can't occupy it at will now." ”
Although he said this, he was secretly thinking about how to find a way to snatch this mountain over, and it would be his base camp in the future.
However, there is definitely no such strength now, so you can only start with the Yuyang Mountain next to it.
He had already made up his mind and said to Sikong Ping: "Then let's go to Yuyang Mountain." Since you can't grab Wangwu Mountain, it's good to be a neighbor. ”
"Okay." Sikong Ping nodded and said, "But this Yuyang Mountain is occupied by a wealthy family at the moment. You have to buy the title deed from them first. ”
"Hmm. It's up to you to do it. Chen Ran said.
"There's another difficulty." Sikong Ping said again: "Since you want to open the door and establish a faction, in addition to informing fellow martial artists, you must also report to the government. Only with the consent of the Yamen of the Inspectorate can the official establishment of the mountain be established. ”
When Chen Ran heard this, he shook his head slightly, only to feel that it seemed to be a little troublesome.
However, since ancient times, chivalry has been forbidden by martial arts, and the government will indeed supervise people in the martial arts, which is very normal. Everyone in the world must obey Wanghua, why can people in the martial arts be outside Wanghua?
In this way, it is also the proper duty to report to the yamen.
It's just that he has to summon the Central Plains martial arts again, and he has to report to the yamen, which is really a bit ostentatious. This was not Chen Ran's original intention.
He thought for a while, and suddenly said to Sikong Ping: "Is your Flying Fish Gang also a registered Jianghu sect?" ”
"Exactly." Sikong Ping nodded.
"Can you change its name and change it to a gang?" Chen Ran asked.
Sikong Ping had a puzzled look on his face, and asked cautiously, "Master is saying that you will convert my Flying Fish Gang into a unified faction?" ”
"Hmm." Chen Ran nodded and said, "In this way, you can avoid reporting to the yamen and inform the people in the rivers and lakes." It's good to be obscure like this. But if there's something inconvenient over there, forget it, just follow the process. ”
When Sikong Ping heard this, his face suddenly showed ecstasy, and he said, "Yes, yes!" Absolutely! How fortunate I am to be the predecessor of the Unification faction! ”
He had already seen Chen Ran's methods, and once the faction was established, the Guiyi faction would definitely emerge in the martial arts. And his Flying Fish Gang, as the predecessor of the Guiyi faction, will definitely be able to leave a name in history and leave a mark in the martial arts.
Sikong Ping has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has always been unknown, only guarding a ferry to live in chaos, but he never expected that this time he would encounter an opportunity to leave a name in history.
He looked excited at the moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, what should I do with those brothers from the Flying Fish Gang?" ”
When he asked this, he had an extremely expectant expression on his face, and his two mung bean-like eyes stared straight at Chen Ran.
Chen Ran coughed lightly and said, "Since the gang is transferred, then naturally these guys will also be absorbed together, and they will all be counted as the children of the Guiyi faction." ”
When Sikong Ping heard Chen Ran's words, he was a little in tears, and said deeply to Chen Ran: "Master, on behalf of my dozens of Flying Fish Gang, my disciple is here to thank Master." The disciple knew that the master was not short of money, but all the properties under the name of the Flying Fish Gang were dedicated to the master. to express the filial piety of the disciples. ”
Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "Those properties belong to you, even if you give them to me, I can't ask for them in vain, I will buy you with gold and silver." ”
Sikong Ping originally wanted to give up the industry as his name, anyway, as long as he entered the sect, why worry about having no industry. But he saw that Chen Ran was resolute, and he didn't dare to speak hard, so he quickly nodded in agreement.
Chen Ran said again: "Those guys in your gang, if you want to join my faction, then you must restrain yourself, you can't be a traitor, and some rules must be followed." I will tell you the specific rules later, and at that time, if anyone violates the rules, I will not spare them. You have to tell them about that. ”
"This nature, this nature." Sikong Ping nodded repeatedly.
With that, he said goodbye to Chen Ran and began to handle the purchase of land in Yuyang Mountain and the establishment of a faction.
After Sikong Ping left, Chen Ran thought silently in his heart. If the people of the Flying Fish Gang are allowed to join, the status of Sikong Ping and Sikong Ying will definitely be extraordinary in the sect. After all, these guys of the Flying Fish Gang have been doing things with Sikong Ping all year round, and they will definitely have some incense for Sikong Family.
The gang in this world is, to put it bluntly, a military team with the nature of the underworld.
And the presence of a small hill within the gang is not a good thing for the gang as a whole. This is what Chen Ran must consider.
Therefore, the establishment of rules is very important.
At the same time, he also had to balance the emotions on Su Yuan's side, and he must not let Su Buqing feel left out.
But it's still too early to think about these things, and the most important thing for a gang to stand in this world is strength. The top priority at the moment is to build up a number of backbone forces.
......
In the next half month, Chen Ran improved his energy points while teaching these children living in Changxing Dart Bureau.
During this period, he received a carrier pigeon from his father Chen Dabao, who said that he and Han Dart Tou had picked up a few darts in Kaifeng, and they were very busy and would not be able to come back after a while. Speaking of which, it is precisely because of the collapse of the Pegasus dart game that the dart board industry in Zhongzhou has a huge window period. This gave Chen Dabao's Changxing Dart Bureau a chance to develop.
Chen Ran was a little worried about his father, thinking about the harsh environment of the dart, and told Yun Jiang to reply to him and ask him to come back quickly, don't drift outside.
And the yamen has been even busier these days, Shi Lingtian has set off a monstrous wave in the martial arts and officialdom of Zhongzhou through the account books he found in Jingling, and even Han Qingying is so busy that he has no time to come to her cousin.
Chen Ran rarely entered a leisurely time, nothing to do to improve the energy point and teach the children. It's very leisurely.
However, he knew that there was no time to be quiet, but Sikong Ping and Su Buqing were busy for him, and they moved forward with a heavy load.
In the past half a month, Chen Ran's Banxia wine has been drunk all, plus a medicinal supplement, and he has saved 200 energy points again.
Since there is no Banxia wine, the speed of accumulation this time is not as fast as a few days ago.
He opens his system panel:
[Name: Chen Ran]
[Energy: 261]
【Exercises:】
【Yijin Sutra: The Third (10/1280)】
【Returning to the Knife Method (Yogi): 3rd Heavy (2/1280)】
【Chenjia Knife Method: The Fifth Heavy (12/16)】
[Evil Attack Doctor: Third (2/120)]
[Void Step: Second Heavy (2/90)]
【Taizu Long Fist: The First Heavy (5/15)】
These days, through the teaching of children, my understanding of martial arts is also slowly growing. So the data in the panel has more or less improved.
According to Chen Ran's own summary of the martial arts barrel theory, he chose to upgrade the Void Step this time.
This upgrade is no different from before, or a large number of memories instantly filled Chen An's mind, and then formed permanent muscle memory.
Compared to the upgrade that entered the illusion realm of the last time, this upgrade is a little less exciting.
There is no sense of gain and accomplishment after a long time of hard work and then success, but there is a sense of emptiness after opening the hanging.
Alas, the life of Kaihang is so boring.
Soon, a message flashed through the system:
[Consumes 88 energy points, has learned the Void Step: the third level, remaining energy 173]
After being upgraded again, Chen Ran's shortcomings have finally been greatly strengthened.
Now Chen Ran, the hard power has the Yijin Sutra and the Guiyi Knife Method, which is enough to rank among the first-class masters. In terms of internal strength and tricks, they are already stronger than that Shi Ling Tian.
And his mastery of attacking evil doctors has made him no longer afraid of the enemy's tricks and intrigues.
Coupled with the third Void Step, even if you can't beat it, you can escape calmly. Like the last time in Longquan Villa, just chasing a bandit, Zhang Qingan chased him for a few miles, and it won't happen again.
At this moment, with his strength, if he made up his mind to assassinate Shi Lingtian according to the Inspectorate Division, he was sure that he would be able to succeed without being guarded, and then escape calmly.
Being able to assassinate a party member and escape, Chen Ran felt that he had a little more security in this world.
In this way, after a few more days, Sikong Ping finally got everything done, and Chen Ran and Yun Jiang, together with more than a dozen children in the hospital, went to Yuyang Mountain together.
From Ninghuafang to Yuyang Mountain, there is a distance of more than 100 miles.
Chen Ran and Yun Jiang sat in the carriage, driven by the men of the Flying Fish Gang, and Sikong Ping rode a horse to lead the way.
After crossing the Yellow River, the further the convoy went, the more desolate it became.
To the north of the Yellow River, it has been out of the scope of Luoyang City, and the population has gradually become scarce.
The last time Chen Ran and Yun Jiang were on the road together in a carriage, it was on the way from Qinglong Mountain to Gongcheng.
At that time, Yun Jiang was in a difficult situation all the way, looking scared, and begging to follow him. I rejected it very thoroughly at that time.
At this moment, Yun Jiang looked relaxed, shaking his head, constantly lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside.
"I'm going to a new place, and there are probably a lot of bandits around Yuyang Mountain. Are you afraid? Chen Ran asked.
Yun Jiang shook his head and smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid at all." When I was in Changxing Dart Game, sometimes I was alone, and I was a little scared at that time. Now that there are so many people around me and Childe is by my side again, I just feel... I feel very peaceful and joyful. ”
Chen Ran looked at Yun Jiang and smiled like a flower, and the previous cowering and sad demeanor had indeed changed a lot. It looks more and more charming.
His heart throbbed a little, and he just wanted to say something more. Suddenly, Sikong Ping's horse's hooves came from far to near, and he whispered through the window: "Master, there seems to be someone blocking the way ahead." ”
