Chapter 111: Return to Gusu

When they arrived in Gusu, it was already evening, in order not to attract attention, Chen Fan and the three of them wore ordinary cotton clothes, wore hats, and took the road guide given by Chen Fan's uncle, crossed the city gate, and entered Gusu City.

Chen Fan, who quietly arrived in Gusu, returned home, in addition to Huang Shi and A Chun, Zhang Ke was also there, and Zheng Xu, who escorted everyone back to Gusu, returned to Jiankang without stopping after sending a few people to Gusu; As for the three brothers of the Hu family, they returned to the dart game and successfully completed the task of the bodyguard.

Another important person in the family, Xiao Qing is not at home. According to Huang Shi, the Taoist temple conducted a battle test a week ago, which can be regarded as a thorough test in advance for the big competition that will come next month. There was also a competition between the freshmen, whether it was boxing, weapons, or Taoism, as long as they could defeat the opponent, Xiao Qing stood out among the freshmen and won the first place, and the second place was not won by Wutong, but by a person named Mo Jin, this person's swordsmanship was good, Xiao Qing won the game by performing swordsmanship in the end. Mo is close to this person, Chen Fan has some impressions, in the class, he looks like a person who is not close, cold, but he didn't expect that this person's martial arts are so high, and even Wu Tong is not his opponent.

Because of his victory, Xiao Qing was rewarded with ten days of practice in the practice room of the Spirit Pavilion, accompanied by Mo Jin and Wu Tong.

The practice room of this Spirit Pavilion is built on the ground of the Spirit Pavilion, and it is full of spiritual power, but not everyone can use it. Chen Fan hasn't been in it until now, but he's heard a lot of legends about it. It is said that practicing in it, talented and intelligent people, can travel thousands of miles a day, even if the qualifications are average, they can also make a lot of progress, but practicing in it consumes a lot of resources of the Taoist temple, and the threshold for natural entry is relatively high, either they have a significant contribution to the Taoist temple, or they can enter because of the recognition of the Taoist temple because of their qualifications.

This time, Xiao Qing entered the Spirit Pavilion, eating and living in the Spirit Pavilion, naturally in order to better absorb the spiritual power in the Pavilion, and other people who entered the Spirit Pavilion to cultivate basically did the same, the time to enter is limited, if you go out again, isn't it a waste of opportunity, of course, you have to stay in it and hurry up to gather wool.

For the loss of the opportunity to enter the Spirit Pavilion this time, Chen Fan did not feel remorseful, this time to Jiankang, for Chen Fan, the harvest is also quite rich, in addition to obtaining the "Taigong Yin Fu" and "Heavenly Theory", the use and understanding of swordsmanship, also to a higher level. In addition, the mystery of the Huixin Sword was discovered, and the use of the Huixin Sword to stimulate Jian Qi, Jian Gang and murderous qi undoubtedly greatly improved the combat power, and these are not opportunities that can be obtained in the practice room.

Although he didn't feel pity, it didn't mean that Chen Fan didn't want to enter the practice room of the Spirit Pavilion to practice. For some reason, Chen Fan, who returned to Gusu, had a sense of urgency and crisis, Mengmeng felt that there was danger approaching, and he must improve his force as soon as possible, and he faintly felt that he had to enter the innate before the age of twenty, and only in this way could he go far on the road of cultivating immortals.

The current Chen Fan naturally wants to calm down and practice, but now he is just a layman in the world, if he wants to practice without distractions, before cultivating with peace of mind, some mundane things he faces still have to be arranged.

The first is about Chen Ying's arrangement. Before going to Jiankang, Chen Fan told Huang Shi about his plans for the future, and now that he has brought back Chen Ying, he naturally wants to give full play to Chen Ying's greatest value. Chen Fan, Huang Shi and Chen Ying were in the lobby, and they discussed for a long time by taking advantage of the night, and finally decided that the original task of letting Chen Ying train killers be put aside first, mainly because they wanted to find candidates and find suitable training places, these things all need to be based on funds, and the current priority is to do business first. And to do business, facing the local gang Qingfeng Tang, taking this Qingfeng Tang is the top priority, the three of them discussed for a long time, and finally decided on the plan of action.

The second is about business preparations. Chen Fan, who had just returned to Gusu, was a little tired, but he still quietly listened to Huang Shi's introduction to the situation. In the middle of the night, only Chen Fan and Huang Shi were left in the hall, and Chen Ying went back to the guest room to rest after discussing the plan of action. After listening to Huang Shi's introduction, Chen Fan was faintly excited in his heart, the preparations for doing business were far better than Chen Fan thought, and the eldest brother Chen Daotan had already bought a piece of land in Xiaohe Village.

Chen Daotan bought a piece of land near the river, with 200 acres. It is absolutely impossible to buy 200 acres of land from peasant households, and no peasant household can sell so much surplus land, so they can only buy it from the government. The government has strict requirements for the sale of fields, but fortunately, Chen Fan and they do not want to buy the kind of fertile land used to grow crops, but dry land and poor land used to build workshops. In the eyes of the croppers, land that cannot grow food is not rare, and the same is true in the eyes of the government, but even so, the procedures for selling it are more cumbersome.

The reason why Chen Daotan is interested in this land is mainly because this land, although it is close to the river, but the terrain is relatively high, it can be said to be a hilly, the land geology is hard, there is no worry about flooding, and with the help of waterways, transportation is also convenient. After Chen Daotan took a fancy to this land, he entrusted the matter to Zheng Yuan in order not to attract attention, mainly considering that Zheng Yuan was from Fengtai Village, his hometown was not far from Xiaohe Village, and he dealt with the local government, relatively speaking, the customs and customs were familiar. But even so, it took a lot of twists and turns, and secretly used a lot of effort to finally get Zheng Yuan to complete the matter of buying the land. After it was done, the land was transferred from the name of the government to Zheng Yuan personally, and then the land deed was much easier to circulate between individuals, as long as Zheng Yuan wrote a transfer document, pressed his fingerprint, and handed it over together with the title deed. Brother Chen Fan naturally handled these formalities properly and took the documents and title deeds in his hands, but there was no transfer for the time being, and it was still held by Zheng Yuan to the outside world.

In addition, there are preparations for the launch of preserved eggs and roast duck, which will be celebrated next month, and these things must be arranged as soon as possible. Fortunately, the production of roast duck, according to Huang Shi, according to the recipe and operation steps left by Chen Fan before, Zhou Chong and Zheng Yuan also made it out, and the taste was excellent, and the rest was about the sale of preserved eggs and roast duck, involving the arrangement of sales channels, product packaging, market publicity, as well as the employment of manpower and market pricing, etc., all of which had to be brought out by a charter. But even so, there are many things that need to be discussed, Chen Fan said his thoughts one by one, and asked Huang Shi to arrange for implementation.

Since going to Jiankang this time, Chen Fan's vision is very different from before, and he looks down on the things of doing business and making money, in this era of true yuan and internal strength, the accumulation of his own strength is the key, and there is no need to do it himself, but he still has to put practice first. After Chen Fan explained the business matters, the two discussed for a long time before they dispersed.

As for the practice, going back to Yiye Hall to listen to the class, it is not of great significance to Chen Fan, with the help of "Chengying", as long as there are classics, the meaning can be understood, and then go to the lecture, in Chen Fan's opinion, it is a bit of a waste of time, so Chen Fan went to the Taoist temple, and did not rush to class, but first found his master Master Jia, the purpose is very simple and clear, that is, to see if he can enter the practice room of the Lingxue Pavilion to practice.

There is no free lunch in this world, it is the same everywhere, especially if you have to enter the practice room of the Spirit Pavilion, how many pairs of eyes are staring. With Chen Fan's talent, he is only outstanding in chess and poetry, and in cultivating the Dao, and it is not easy to enter the cultivation. However, Chen Fan had already thought of a reason, that is, he used the six styles of peerless Feng Qing left by the predecessors of the Enlightenment Wind Illusion Son as an excuse to ask to enter. In order to make this reason convincing, Chen Fan did not hesitate to hand over the sword drawing style.

Chen Fan was not sure whether the sword drawing style was one of the six styles of Fengqing, but Chen Fan knew that the sword style he comprehended from the wind phantom step was not weak, even if it was not one of the six styles of Fengqing, it was likely to attract the attention of the top level of the Taoist temple. And in Chen Fan's view, Feng Phantom Step is a swordsmanship, it is necessary to study, although he relies on "inheritance" to understand the meaning of the secret, but to combine the swordsmanship in the "Northern Zhenwu Xuanjing" to create, but also rely on his own understanding.

With the reason of understanding the swordsmanship, and with the help of the master, the situation is different. You have to contribute, and with contribution, and then you have connections, you will often get twice the result with half the effort. When Chen Fan handed over the sword drawing style, after Master Jia's application, the matter was quickly approved, and a batch was ten days, which was regarded as a reward for Chen Fan's contribution to the sword drawing style and explained that there was a reward for the six styles of Feng Qing hidden in the wind phantom step.

This Fengqing Six Styles, Chen Fan has already thought about it, so he handed over the sword drawing style, Qingfeng style, Rush type, whirlwind style, splitting light type, and Jingshou style in the twelve styles he created, among which the splitting style is the splitting sword shadow that teaches Chen Ying, although the power of this move is huge, but there is still a big gap between it and the splitting style that requires a large number of true elements to be used together. The splitting method involves the use of true yuan, and with the level of internal force shown by Chen Fan, it is naturally impossible to comprehend at present, and if it is handed over, it will arouse suspicion. And the light splitting sword shadow, with the palm of the scriptures keeper, it is normal to realize it. Of course, for these six swordsmanship moves, Chen Fan did not plan to hand them over all at once, but handed over one move at a time, taking his time, and striving for as many opportunities as possible to enter the practice room of the Spirit Pavilion.

The reason why he handed over these six styles, Chen Fan was also thoughtful, and he had to do it with someone later, and it was most convenient for him to perform these six styles, since he would be seen, it was better to hand them over, which could be regarded as a contribution to the Taoist temple. And the other six styles, the shadow style and the qi gathering style are too powerful, not only involving sword moves, but also involving the hidden internal strength of the wind method, which is currently its life-saving mastery, and it will definitely not be handed over; The Tibetan Sword Style and the Heaven-Breaking Style need to be used to exert the maximum function with the help of the Huixin Sword, and handing it over is likely to expose the secret of the Huixin Sword, so it is better not to hand it over; Although the power of the wave breaking style and the wind style is huge, it takes a lot of internal force to exert it, and it is rarely used to fight people, so you can save it for later.
