The inner river of Gusu City is vertical and horizontal, the waterways are parallel, the clear flowing water corresponds to the green trees on the bank, the deep water lane and the curved small bridge are harmonious, Chen Fan and a few of them are in the restaurant where they can see such a beautiful scenery when they open the window, tasting fine wine, with a little bit of wine.

Originally, Lu Yan said that Liang Xiu and Chen Fan should go, but he had to reply in advance, but Chen Fan said, Master is not going, and I will not go, so he dragged Dean Lu over. Fortunately, wine is fine wine, food is delicacies, although there is no feature, but the beautiful scenery outside the window is the best feature, after these two days of getting along, the relationship between the three is undoubtedly a big step.

Taking advantage of drinking at the restaurant, Chen Fan asked the store to send someone to buy two large silk fibers, copied the chess score, and just took it away for Lu Yan and Liang Xiu, and said at the same time: "Master, Brother Liang, I don't know when the chess academy or Gusu will hold a large-scale event after the school starts?" ”

"The chess academy is going to wait for the big competition, this big competition, you have to participate. At the beginning of the lunar month, there is a competition between the students of the chess academy in Wu County. This year, unlike previous years, the Go tournament in the county town was held on the twelfth day of the lunar month, and the big competition between the various chess academies was placed on the 6th, counting the warm-up before the game, many disciples will participate, and each chess academy will decide ten people to communicate between the academies. In October after the start of school, the academy has a grade competition, and you can also participate in it to determine the grade of Go, which is good for prestige, but the academy can only be rated at the highest level of five, and above the fourth grade will go to the capital for evaluation. By the way, Dharma student, you care about the activities you organize, but do you need help with anything? ”

"I got a recipe by accident before, and I wanted to try to make it, take advantage of the event, and share it with everyone to taste, but this kind of food is more laborious to make, and it takes some time to purchase ingredients, and after knowing the date, you can start preparing it." Chen Fan thought about it, this recipe is said to be unintentionally obtained, if someone really wants, it can be handed over, but the process inside will be more complicated, it is necessary to use jade black and white chess pieces to increase the spirituality of duck eggs, marinated with pure natural mountain spring water, in order to get black and white chess eggs, the name is called chess eggs, the name of the preserved eggs is never mentioned, this mountain spring water should be able to marinate the preserved eggs, the kind that can replace the alkaline water, as far as Chen Fan knows, many mountain springs are alkaline, should be able to be pickled out, It's just that it will take some time to find this mountain spring. In addition, the temperature of pickling is not mentioned in the recipe, so it will sometimes be successful, sometimes unsuccessful, if in winter, buy a lot of duck eggs, but the pickling is scrapped, the cost will be very high. Chen Fan decided that his recipe was not so easy to take.

"Oh, it's so complicated to make this food, it seems that it's really exciting, there are more activities in Layue, in addition to the big competition of the academy and the chess tournament held, Xuanmen Qingtan is also in Layue, and Fa Sheng can prepare more at that time." Lu Xian nodded and said.

"Fa Sheng, if it's Layue, if you want to sell it at that time, I'll come back from vacation, and I'll help you shout at that time." Liang Xiu said with a smile on the side.

It seemed that Liang Xiu had guessed his thoughts, but Chen Fan didn't intend to hide it from the two, so he immediately raised his wine glass and said, "Then I will thank Master and Brother Liang." With that, he drank all the wine in his glass.

Lu Yan nodded, "You're welcome." Liang Xiu responded, and the two of them also dried up the wine in the cup.

The three of them chatted while eating, and after eating a meal for a long time, Hou Feng and Liang Xiu's bodyguard Ah Wu naturally did not join them, but ate in the lobby outside, and then waited outside.

Full of wine and food, Lu Yan really had something to do at night, insisted on leaving, and immediately everyone did not have dinner together, but dispersed, Liang Xiu sent Lu Yan back, Chen Fan and Hou Feng also returned to their residence.

In the study, Chen Fan took out the hand-copied "Rotten Kepu", because there were people around him during the day, he had not been pondering the chess score, and now there was no one, so he naturally had to study it carefully, and then call up the "Chengying" mapping.

Time passed quickly, in the evening, the main hall was full of people, the eldest brother who came to pick up Chen Fan rushed to the house, Xiao Qing also came back from the Taoist temple, seeing him in the past two days, he was full of energy, and it seemed that the harvest of practicing qi was not small.

"Big brother, it's been the road today." Chen Fan greeted.

"It's okay, what have you been busy with in the past two days?" The eldest brother asked.

"I have seen all the people I should see in these two days. By the way, today I saw a warrior monk practicing a knife in Puming Temple, and Hou Feng also saw it, saying that he had already practiced the sword, which was very powerful. ”

"Trained the sword?" Huang Shi interjected and asked.

"It should be, Hou Feng, you say, I don't know much about martial arts."

"The sword wielded by that warrior monk can urge the surrounding branches and leaves, and it should be that he has practiced the sword."

"Then this person is indeed not simple, and there are very few people who can practice the sword gang now. Fa Sheng, Ah Qing, you are already practicing in the Taoist temple, let me tell you some things about the cultivation realm, it will be of some help to you when you walk outside in the future. "For some reason, Master Huang came today to speak interested.

This proposal is very good, not to mention Chen Fan and Xiao Qing, even the eldest brother and several of them are also very interested.

"In this Jiangnan Xiuzhen realm, there are three views, three temples and three temples that I want to avoid, and there are many unknown masters in it. The three views are the Baiyun Temple, the Zhenwu Temple, and the Maoshan Temple; The three temples are Mahayana Temple, Puming Temple, and Fahua Temple; The three temples are Confucius Temple, Mencius Temple, and Xunzi Temple. ”

"Baiyun Temple can be said to be the head of the Daomen, its mountain gate location is mysterious, only the lower courtyard of the Taoist Institute and the outside world, it is said that Baiyun Temple is a treasure of cultivation, there are five elements of the great array guarding inside, the spiritual power is abundant, the five elements are complete, its "Shangdong Zhenjing" is known as the first cultivation mana, the sword is the best in the world, a sword to break ten thousand laws, it sends a person every ten years to walk into the rivers and lakes, and the factions to learn, rarely fail, the current walk is out of the dust, has been Megatron for eight years, there are two years to the Baiyun Temple replacement period, At that time, it is necessary to go to the various factions to have a discussion. ”

"Zhenwuguan is the first in the Daozang, there are many scriptures inside, the inheritance is long, the most mysterious is that there is a mysterious force guarding, anyone who enters the Zhenwuguan to make trouble, it is in and out, and it is regarded as a terrifying place by the people of the rivers and lakes, and no one dares to offend easily."

"Maoshan Temple covers the widest area, a large number of people, the most powerful, the first Taoist law, for the exorcism, town house, divination of the Taoist arts, there are many, the use of charms, the five elements of the magic power is unguardable, in the red dust is the most powerful, can not be easily provoked."

"Buddhism is also stable in the south of my Jiangnan, and it is generally not easy to manage the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, but it has a wide range of disciples, the development of believers, and the incense is prosperous, claiming that it has 84,000 methods to purify all sentient beings, focusing on both internal and external cultivation, and there are Vajra does not damage the body protection of the divine skill, as well as the flower without fingering, Arhat divine skill, etc., there are many exercises in the temple, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and its power is no longer under the Taoist gate."

"The three temples of Confucianism are the three inheritances in Confucianism and Taoism, with Confucius being the most powerful, Mengmen and Xunmen both respecting Confucius, but each has its own emphasis. For example, Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, while Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil, resulting in different views of people in these two sects on things, so there are sometimes fights, but when they are with foreign enemies, they can be consistent with the outside world. The most powerful thing about this Confucianism is the spiritual power exercise, the high depths can resonate with the heaven and the earth, among which the painting of the ground as a prison can make people be imprisoned in a place and cannot come out, the forbidden magic can make people become mortals no matter how high the mana is, the most powerful is the magic of spiritual attack, which can make people become idiots, so when encountering people in Confucianism, you need to guard your mind, and if you really want to fight, you have to start first. It is said that some people in the three temples have entered the innate and practiced to the realm of words and laws, and they don't know whether it's true or not. ”

"Master Huang, I don't know if the swordsmanship of the True Martial Arts Concept can be cultivated to produce Gang Qi? How much worse is it than the White Cloud Temple? "No wonder I have heard people say, the more I know, the more I feel small, this is not unreasonable, Chen Fan feels very small now, I don't know if even if I learn the exercises of the True Martial Arts, can I be the best in the world?

"The swordsmanship of the True Martial Arts Concept is actually not weak, not to mention the cultivation of the Sword Gang, the Sword Qi, and the Sword Mang, that is, the sword and fly, it was all there before, and it is not weaker than the White Cloud Temple, but it is said that the swordsmanship of the True Martial Arts Concept is difficult to practice, and the inheritance is broken in the middle, so it is much weaker now."

Chen Fan suddenly rose a sense of urgency, he used to focus on cultivating the true yuan, and he didn't know anything about swordsmanship, but now if he works with people, in addition to increasing his strength, he is a rookie in other aspects, and he will start planning to study the next volume of the "Northern Zhenwu Xuanjing". Chen Fan, who had an idea, settled down for a while, and then said: "Master Huang, I don't know what position the warrior monk who cultivates Dao Gang can rank in the combat power of the cultivation realm?" ”

"In the cultivation realm, he can only be regarded as an ordinary master, but he can be regarded as a first-class master in the rivers and lakes."

"Does it make a difference?"

"The people in the cultivation realm are mainly hidden in the sect to practice, and rarely care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, such as the Baiyun Temple, only one representative is sent to walk in the rivers and lakes, and other people may be unknown all their lives, these people naturally cannot be regarded as people in the rivers and lakes, but they are also people in the cultivation realm. If you encounter a major event of life and death in the sect, you will naturally come out to fight to the death, but if it is something else, you will not make a move, this is the difference. ”

"We'll leave tomorrow morning, do you have anything to bring?" The eldest brother interjected and asked.

"There's nothing special to bring, after all, it's very short time to go back, why don't you buy some Gusu specialties and bring them back?" Chen Fan suggested.

"Okay, I'll go see what I can buy outside tomorrow morning, and I'll have something to eat on the boat at noon, what do you think?"

The crowd nodded in agreement.

After eating in the evening, Chen Fan did not go directly to the study or backyard to practice, but returned to the bedroom and took out the "Taigong Art of War", this military book has nearly 20,000 words, there is no time to read it at present, to put it away, in addition, the money at home, there are fifteen taels of silver, back to the huhu, bring five taels on the body, and the other ten taels at home to prevent it from being lost on the road, but there is no one at home, don't let the thief steal, Chen Fan suddenly remembered what Liang Xiu said about the current Gusu thief, a little worried, and felt that the family was not very safe, Chen Fan suddenly felt a bit like a miser.

"Scrooge, Scrooge, the key is that the "Art of War" can't be lost, why don't you find a clay pot to bury in the yard?" Chen Fan, who thought about it, finally decided not to hide anything, just put it on the case, put the chess game on the top, and put the "Taigong Art of War" below, in order to prevent the paper from being blown away by the wind, press it with an inkstone, as for ten taels of silver, put it in three places in the room, so that Chen Fan decided not to bury it in the end The reason is very simple, the clothes at home and the like should also be expensive, maybe more than ten taels, these are not easy to bury, if you really want to meet a thief, it is better to let him steal some silver, and it should be ruined. Chen Fan, who had made a decision, finally settled down, went to the backyard to practice, and then rested.
