Seventy-seven Hidden dangers
Chen Ran thought about it for a while and decided to steal the Heterogeneous Cultivation Technique first. For the useful heavenly and earthly treasures, he has many processing methods, and there is no need to alchemy them all.
But if you know how to cultivate it, you can raise a steady stream of rare and exotic plants, so you don't have to go to great lengths to buy them.
Thinking of this, Chen Ran secretly drank in his heart: "Extracting the Mountains and Seas Sutra Heterogeneous Cultivation Technique: the fourth level." ”
A line of information suddenly appeared in my mind:
"Spend 120 energy, you have extracted [Mountain and Sea Sutra Heterogeneous Cultivation Technique: Fourth Level], and the remaining energy is 10."
The next moment, Chen Ran only felt that he had become a farmer, and all that appeared in his mind were memories of cultivating alien plants.
From how to get seeds, to how to choose soil, to how to fertilize, to how to maintain. Years of farming and cultivation were imprinted in his mind in an instant.
Chen Ran had these memories, and even his mentality changed slightly, and he only felt a relaxed and complacent mood rippling in his mind.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, every time he upgraded his skills, it seemed that his life had been lengthened a little. It seems that it is not enough to be a weak crown, but it seems that half a lifetime has passed.
Seeing Chen Ran's sluggish expression, Daoist Chong Su secretly sneered in his heart. Ordinary village husbands and ignorant village women, who doesn't worship him when they see the image of his fairy wind bones?
The boy also seemed to be a foolish man who had never seen the world.
After the three of them sat down, Chen Ran also came back to his senses from the upgrade. Dao Tong served Chen Ran and Su Buqing a cup of tea, and then retreated silently. The three then exchanged names.
Chong Su Dao Chang was a little puzzled, it turned out that the head of the Guiyi faction was not Sikong Ping, but he didn't take this matter to heart, for him, Sikong Ping was the head of the house, and a dog was the head, there was no difference. Anyway, it's a weak chicken for him.
He sat on the top, looked at Chen Ran and Su Buqing with a high-profile expression, and said with a slight smile: "Come, taste the hairy tips brewed by the mountain spring water of my Wangwu faction." ”
Su Buqing saw that the tea was clear and green, fragrant and fragrant, which made people feel excited. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and sure enough, it was a good tea.
After Chen Ran confirmed that there was no problem with this cup of tea, he picked up the tea, drank it all, and said, "It's really good tea." ”
Daoist Chong Su shook his head slightly, and said in a tone that taught the juniors: "Good tea is needed, and Master Chen drank it a little recklessly." There are also rules for drinking tea, and the tea ceremony, starting from Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, has a long history. ”
Chen Ran also shook his head and said with a smile: "Drinking tea, it's always good to like it." The tea ceremony is a matter of whether or not you follow it depends on your mood. ”
"It seems that Master Chen doesn't like to follow the rules." Chong Sudao raised his eyebrows and said.
"It depends on whose rules it is." Chen Ran smiled.
Chong Sudao stroked his white beard and said in a deep voice, "What if it's the rules of my Wangwu faction?" ”
Finally got to the point. Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief, it was too annoying to talk to this old guy.
He motioned for Dao Tong to add tea to himself, and then said, "It turns out that your faction invited us here today to announce the rules of your faction. ”
"Exactly." Chong Sudao twisted his beard and smiled: "Our Wangwu faction is a sect set up by the imperial court, which has always guarded the Royal Temple of Heaven, and is also responsible for the stability of this area on the border of western Henan. The hardships are not enough for outsiders. You are going to build a gang in this area, and there are some rules that you still have to abide by. ”
Chen Ran was extremely impatient, and asked directly: "Dao Elder doesn't have to fight anymore, just say it, what does your faction want us to do in one faction?" ”
Seeing that Chen Ran was a little rude, Daoist Chong Su was slightly angry in his heart, and said coldly: "Master Chen is quick to talk, so I won't talk nonsense." It is not easy for my Wangwu faction to maintain the stability of the western border of Henan for many years, and the surrounding sects have to offer one hundred taels of silver to our faction every month, and it will be knotted every month. Of course, if your faction has strong financial resources, you might as well settle it once a year, so that it is convenient for everyone. ”
When Chen Ran heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and after saying that for such a long time, it would only cost a thousand taels of silver a year.
That's the pattern of this royal house faction.
Speaking of which, the surrounding sects and mountains, he costs 1,000 taels for each place, and together, it is a lot of income a year.
However, for Chen Ran, the purpose of his visit to Wangwushan this time has been achieved, so there is no need to talk to this old man anymore.
He bowed slightly, and asked, "Does the old Taoist have any other requirements?" ”
Daoist Chong Su glanced at Chen Ran a little strangely, in the past, when other heads of the family or family heard this request, they would look embarrassed, and then pleaded.
And this Chen Ran not only had a smile on his face, but also asked himself if he had any other requirements.
Could it be that this young man was frightened by the momentum of his own sect? Completely convinced of yourself?
With a smile on his face, he quietly took a sip of tea and said, "If Master Chen feels that it is not enough, you can add more offerings, and this sect welcomes it." ”
Chen Ran nodded, stood up directly, and said, "Okay, I'll take my leave." ”
As he spoke, his eyes signaled to Su Buqing, and he was about to walk out of the house directly.
Daoist Chong Su was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Master Chen, you haven't agreed yet, are you going to leave?" ”
Chen Ran didn't even want to pay attention to him, as if he hadn't heard it, he walked out of the door directly.
Su Buqing nodded slightly at Daoist Chong Su to say goodbye, and hurriedly followed Chen Ran away.
Daoist Chong Su looked at their backs as they left with a stunned expression. I didn't react for a while.
This kid is even more reckless than the village man, how can he say it and leave suddenly, and he doesn't understand any etiquette?
Or are they simply too lazy to take care of themselves?
Ignoring the other person is more insulting than insulting the other person. Does this Chen Ran really have the audacity to ignore me, the chief elder of the Wangwu Sect?
Or is this kid really just a fool who heard his orders and went back directly to prepare money? After all, he just drank tea like a cow, and it was likely that he would really be so direct.
Chong Sudao thought about it for a long time, but he was a little confused.
The Dao boy beside him was also a little puzzled, and asked Chong Su Dao Elder softly, "Elder, do you want the disciple to stop them?" ”
Daoist Chong Su shook his hand and said, "Let them go, and see how they perform in two days." ”
Although his name is Okisu, he actually has a very keen desire for money. If this Chen Ran really went home to prepare silver, then how could he stop it?
When they went back, Chen Ran and Su Buqing no longer needed to be guided by the Taoist. They descended and soon found the donkey they had tied to halfway up the mountain.
Seeing that there was no one around, Su Buqing whispered to Chen Ran: "Master, just now in that balcony palace, I seem to have seen an acquaintance. ”
"Who?" Chen Ran asked.
"Lu Yuming of the Lu family in Luoyang."
"Lu Yuming, who is that?" Chen Ran didn't know much about the family in Luoyang City.
"It is a family of eunuchs, and with the Lu family's judge pen, he is also very famous in the rivers and lakes." Su Buqing introduced.
"This person, what's the problem?" Chen Ran asked.
Su Buqing squatted for a moment and said softly: "He is also a frequent visitor to the Frost Moon Sect, I have seen him several times in Longquan Villa, he is responsible for acting as the broker of Uncle Guo, directly involved in human trafficking, and has an excellent relationship with Mrs. Huayin." I just saw him glance into the room, and he looked at me very unkindly. ”
Chen Ran felt a pang in his heart, and the relationship with Mrs. Huayin was very good, so it was a hidden danger.
He said to Su Buqing: "In the future, this kind of thing should be reminded as soon as possible." ”
"Yes." Su Buqing immediately bowed his head and said, "It's just that my subordinates feel that they need to think about the territory of Wangwu Mountain in the long run, so they will report to you when they go down the mountain." ”
Chen Ran shook his head and said, "There is no need to think about it in the long run, there are some things that must be decided immediately." You go back first. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand at Su Buqing, turned around and performed a void step, and immediately rushed towards the mountain.
Su Buqing was taken aback when she saw that Chen Ran's speed was so fast. He knew that there was nothing he could do here, so he immediately led the two donkeys down the mountain.
