Chapter 102: Cold Forest Lodge

In the dead of night, the lights in the study room in the Chengfu in the imperial history were still on, and Chen Fan, who had moved in, was talking to his uncle Shen Wen about meeting with Fan Zheng and the three elders of Meishan.

After Shen Wen listened, he frowned and said, "This Master Fan is highly respected, if he simply wants to pass on your Heavenly Theory, how can he cast the Great Law of Cause and Effect on you?" There may be unknown reasons for this, so I'll go to the cold forest cottage with you tomorrow, so I can take care of you. ”

"Thank you so much, uncle!" Chen Fan did not refuse, this Fan Zheng gave him a very strange feeling, it was not as simple as wanting him to inherit the Confucian and Taoist classics, and it was not like harming him, but it should be very troublesome, especially the Dafa of cause and effect, after this, there is harmlessness, how to solve it, Chen Fan is still confused, if he can be accompanied by his uncle, it is best.

What Chen Fan didn't know was that this Dafa of cause and effect involved heavenly opportunities, and the pages of the Heavenly Book in Chen Fan's body were evolved from the laws of Heavenly Dao, and they were one of the few things in this world that could block the heavenly machines. Fan Zheng's Dafa of Cause and Effect was blocked by the pages of the Book of Heaven in Chen Fan's mind, and he didn't have any Dafa of Cause and Effect at all, so he took the benefits brought by the "Theory of Heaven", but it was not affected.

While Chen Fan was chatting with his uncle, in the Hanlin Cottage, the supervisor Zhengxing who was in charge of Si Tianjian was also chatting with Fan Zheng.

"Brother Fan, why are you so persistent, it's better to heal your injuries and think about this matter again." The star operator is unraveling Fan Zheng.

"This prophecy is related to the life and death of my Xunmen, how can I not care?" Fan Zheng retorted with a sad face.

As for the meaning of this proverb, it's not that I don't say it, but I don't know what it means. In particular, I can't figure out what to mean by the word 'out of Chen'. As for the way to resolve it, there is no one. ”

"Can't you even count it out of your power? So where did these eight words come from? ”

After these eight characters appeared, the heavenly machine was chaotic, and there was no more display. Well, tomorrow I will see this Chen Fasheng and test him to see if it is related to the meaning of the prophecy. ”

"Okay, then there's Brother Lao Xian." Fan Zheng said happily.

When Chen Fan and his uncle Shen Wen came to the Hanlin Cottage, it was already the afternoon of the second day, Chen Fan looked relaxed on the outside today, but he wore the Xiaohan Sword on his waist, the Huixin Sword in his arms, and Chen Ying behind him, and the uncle was followed by a thin middle-aged man with a knife on his waist, and the rest of the people stayed outside the Hanlin Cottage.

It was not Fan Zheng who greeted Chen Fan inside, but Fan Zheng's housekeeper, an old man with gray hair. With Fan Zheng's status in the court and the literary world, no one thought that he was rude to do this, but took it for granted.

Although there is a small character in the cold forest cottage, it covers an area that is not small at all, and there are green bamboos planted everywhere, Chen Fan and they followed the old housekeeper along the corridor and turned two corners, and came to a courtyard, where there was a Taoist standing in the courtyard, wearing a seven-star Taoist crown, wearing a gossip robe, and holding a whisk in his hand, blocking Chen Fan's way.

"I've seen the prison." Shen Wen saw the Taoist in the courtyard and saluted. The three people who followed next to him saw Shen Wen salute and also saluted.

This person is the star operator.

"No courtesy. The poor Dao Star Operator has seen you. The star operator returned the salute with one hand.

"I wonder why the prison is here?"

"Poor Dao is here to calculate a hexagram for Chen Langjun."

Shen Wen did not answer for Chen Fan, but waved his hand and motioned for Chen Fan to look at it himself.

"Then there is Master Lao, I don't know how to have an algorithm?" Chen Fan did not refuse, the key is that he knew that he couldn't refuse, the other party was a prisoner, and he was the one who had to salute when his uncle saw him, no matter how noble his identity was, he had no qualifications to refuse.

"Look at that." Xing Operator pointed with his hand, and it turned out that a table had been placed in a corner of the courtyard, on which was placed a turtle shell the size of a bowl, and five golden copper coins were placed in it, with two words "Tongbao" on them, which were not ordinary at first glance.

The more copper coins used in this, the more complex and accurate the algorithm is, and the Southern Dipper Star Technique that Chen Fan learned only used three copper coins, five, which is already the ultimate that mortals can use, and it is easy to damage themselves and lose Shouyuan, which can be regarded as the punishment of heaven and earth for mortals to wantonly spy on the heavens.

"Is there anything Chen Langjun is going to ask?"

"I wonder if it's a prison or a Taoist priest who is here today?"

"How's the correction? How about Taoist priests? ”

"If it's a prison, I would like to ask if the trip went well? If you are a Taoist priest, I want to ask, how is my Taoist luck? ”

"Are you from the Daomen?" Xing Operator was taken aback and asked solemnly.

"Exactly, yesterday I have already told Master Fan that I have entered the Dao Gate, and I don't plan to change the door, the poor Dao Law is called Dao Xuan, and I have seen the master." After speaking, Chen Fan made a salute.

Originally, if Chen Fan was related to the hexagram, the star operator decided to prepare to help Fan Zheng include Chen Fan under his door, but at this time, he knew that Chen Fan had entered the Daomen, and if he was allowed to betray the Daomen, it would be absolutely impossible. "Since you know that Chen Fan has entered the Daomen, but you haven't told me, then even if the other party is really your noble person from Xunmen, I can't help you." All of a sudden, the star operator had already made a decision in his heart.

"My Daomen is naturally lucky, but it's not something you and I can measure, I'll help you calculate whether this trip is going well." After speaking, Xing Operator reverently picked up the turtle shell and shook it, and after a while, he put down the turtle shell and stared at the displayed hexagram, frowning, and was silent in thought. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Chen Fan, as if he wanted to find something on Chen Fan's face.

"Supervisor, what does this hexagram say?" Shen Wen asked

"A gentleman of Lao Qian, there is a final auspiciousness." After Xing Operator finished speaking, he didn't explain the meaning of the hexagram, waved his hand, and said, "Chen Langjun, you go in, Master Fan is already waiting for you." ”

This hexagram Chen Fan understands, it is a humble hexagram, the only auspicious hexagram in the hexagram, which means that if you stay humble when working, you will have good results. It doesn't seem like the trip will be too dangerous. Chen Fan looked at his uncle, and did not go inside, but said, "Uncle first, please." ”

"Shen Zhongcheng is still here to play chess with me, Master Fan has something to say to Chen Langjun, so we won't bother." The star operator blocked.

"In this way, it is better to ask the prison to go in with us, and after meeting Master Fan, my uncle will accompany the prison to come out, which can be regarded as a courtesy. I wonder what the prison thinks? Chen Fan saw his uncle's embarrassment, and took the conversation and replied.

"It's fine." Xing Operator thought about it and agreed.

When the four of them entered the inner hall, the old butler still led the way, and Chen Ying and Shen Wen's guards stayed outside.

Chen Fan was taken aback when he saw Fan Zheng, today's Fan Zheng is obviously much older than yesterday, mainly because the whole person looks old and a little haggard.

"Chen Langjun, are you here?" Fan Zheng nodded slightly and greeted, but for the other two, Fan Zheng did not take the initiative to greet them.

"Yes, I've seen Master Fan." Chen Fan was a little flattered, and immediately went up to greet him and replied.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Fan Zheng said: "Let me talk to Chen Langjun alone, I already know what you want to say, and I will not embarrass Chen Langjun." Xing Operator and Shen Wen accompanied Chen Fan to come in to visit, this is a matter of attitude in itself, and the intention has already been explained, of course Fan Zheng is more understanding, so he simply opened the words and let them go out first.

Immediately, only Chen Fan and Fan Zheng were left in the house.

"Chen Fasheng, can you be surprised that I met you yesterday and cast the Dafa of Cause and Effect on you, reciting the Heavenly Treatise to you?"

"Exactly, please ask Master Fan to solve your doubts." Chen Fan had long doubts about this, and said bluntly at the moment.

"Just because it is estimated that you have a fate with my Xunmen, I hope you can join my Xunmen."

"If it's an estimate, it's not necessarily certain, I've already said before that I have joined the Dao Sect and will not change the court, and I hope the master will forgive me."

"I knew it wasn't going to happen, and now I've given up on it. This line of life and death, only people recruit themselves, and the world's affairs cannot be forced. You have a fate with my Xunmen, it is a good fate, if you force it, it is a bad fate, why bother? Now that there is something to ask for, it will not go against Chen Langjun's heart, and I hope that you can agree. ”

"Then please say bluntly, if you can do it, you will do it."

"I have a disciple named Kuwabara, who is my personal disciple, and this "Treatise on Heaven" was written by the sage himself, and you help me to transfer the "Treatise of Heaven" to him. In addition, if Xunmen is in trouble, I hope you can help within the scope of your ability. I don't know if you can agree? Fan Zheng pointed to the "Theory of Heaven" on the desk.

Chen Fan knew that this transfer was just a pretext, Fan Zheng could let the star operator or the old housekeeper transfer it, why bother asking him to transfer it to outsiders? This transfer is a reward for Chen Fan, which means that by giving away the viewing of "The Theory of Heaven", in exchange for Chen Fan's help, but because it is not a preaching and teaching, he does not have the status of master and apprentice, and he can not enter Xunmen, and he does not have to worry about the suspicion of betraying his teacher and abandoning the Tao.

"Okay, I promise the master." Chen Fan also simply, his mind was spinning, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decisively agreed.

"My Confucian practice is different from Taoism, there are only three realms in total, which are the intentions of the heavenly officials, the knowledge of the heart, and the law of words. Before the congenital, you must cultivate to the point where you can enter the innate with the law, and this word comes out with the law, pointing directly to the avenue of heaven and earth, and you can reach the point where the original god sustenance is void. Since Chen Fan agreed, Fan Zheng naturally said some words, and let Chen Fan learn brightly.

"Thank you, Master." The reason why Chen Fan agreed to Fan Zheng's request was actually to learn this "Theory of Heaven", Chen Fan had a faint feeling in his heart that this "Theory of Heaven" would be of great help to him, so Chen Fan did not shirk it at the moment, and accepted Fan Zheng's proposal without hesitation.

"No, it's also the old decay that has caused you trouble. You have to be careful of one person, this person's name is Meng Yunfei, he is the descendant of Master Xinchen of Elder Meng Temple, this Master Xinchen has entered the innate twenty years ago, when he was only in his forties, Meng Yunfei is his personal disciple, and he has entered the realm of knowing the heart. If he knows that the Heavenly Treatise is in your hands, he is likely to get you in trouble. If you really can't do it, you can hand over this "Heavenly Theory". ”

"Since I have promised the master to hand it over to Kuwabara, I will protect it with my life and never let it fall into the hands of others. I wonder if there is anyone in Xun Temple who can match Meng Yunfei? "No matter whether Fan Zheng is sincerely thinking about Chen Fan, or using the radical method, even if it is burned, Chen Fan will never hand over this scripture to Meng Yunfei.

"Not yet. I Xun temple has no congenital, these years have not been received, no one can compete with the heart of the dust master and apprentice, I was forced to helpless, only to join the struggle between Xun Temple and Meng Temple, now I go, Xun Men is bound to be weak, this is also the reason why I hope you can help Xun Men one or two in the future. ”

"This is natural, and since I have promised the Master, I will fulfill my promise. It's just that above the court, there are many old friends of the masters, that is, Xunmen people, there must be a lot, why should the master be pessimistic? ”

"I'm not pessimistic, it's just that the heart of the sky is unpredictable, everything is unpredictable, and some things must be prepared for a rainy day." Fan Zheng said with emotion, in fact, he was saying in his heart, "The biggest change I'm worried about is actually you!" ”
