Chapter 50: The Buying and Selling of Yokai
When he came to the town, Chen Ke saw that Old Man Han had a wide range of connections.
"Old man, what do you say you want so much money for, give me an extra ten taels, I can make a big effort."
Chen Ke carried the package on his back, held the silver box, and followed behind Old Man Han, wanting to pull out a little more from Old Man Han's hand.
"No, the old man has too many people to support, even if he has a penny, he can't spend it indiscriminately."
Old man Han carried a bamboo basket on his back, held his long cloth flag, and said with a smile.
Chen Ke said: "What do you say you are doing this for? I don't get anything, I'm not against you doing good deeds, but your good deeds are too great, people have to do what they can. You are not a saint, and you can't save the world. ”
Chen Ke just felt that Old Man Han had done too much good deeds, and the money he earned was rarely spent, all of which was used to rescue those homeless people, not only children, but also some elderly people who could not move.
"I can save a little is a little, I don't ask for anything in return, I just feel happy in my heart, so I do it." Old man Han said with a smile.
But do good deeds, don't ask about the future.
Chen Ke somewhat understood Old Man Han's mood, he was just doing good deeds, not seeking any fame or fortune.
Because of Old Man Han's good deeds, in every village, someone has reserved a place for Old Man Han to live, so that he doesn't have to live in the open air.
"I might do something good, but I can't do something like you." Chen Ke was ashamed of himself, he felt that he was not evil, he was already doing a good deed.
Old man Han said: "Everyone asks for something different, what I ask for is only to do good deeds, not to do good deeds in return, many people don't understand, but I see those homeless young children, see the old people who can't get up, I still feel a little unbearable,"
"Forget it, I don't want your ten taels." Chen Ke shook his head, although he admired Old Man Han, he couldn't do it to the extent of Old Man Han.
Everyone has their own way of doing things, and Old Man Han is indeed different.
shared the money with Old Man Han, and within five hundred taels, there were one hundred and fifty taels promised by Old Man Han before, plus seventy taels finally determined by the two, Chen Ke had already received two hundred and twenty taels.
This money, put in the countryside, is the township rich man.
Chen Ke felt that he had obtained the Heaven and Earth Splitting Fist Technique given by Old Man Han, and he didn't need to visit the Immortal Dao Sect anymore to seek the invincible Dao Method, he followed Old Man Han to make some money, and when he was consummated on the ninety-nine eighty-first day, he became a cultivator, and he could return to the capital and seek justice from Ansheng Palace!
For more than ten days, Chen Ke practiced in the room, and Old Man Han went out to look for business.
Helping people catch thieves, catch traitors, exorcise ghosts, get rid of demons, what can be done, Old Man Han is not refused.
However, the matter of ghosts and demons is difficult to encounter, and Old Man Han has been helping people catch traitors recently, and he doesn't have much money, only two hundred Wen, so he also dragged Chen Ke with him.
……
"This is one hundred and eighty wen, and the remaining twenty wen is owed first."
The man's nose was blue and his face was swollen, he was caught raping, and he had to pay, he was aggrieved, and he wanted to leave twenty texts to teach Chen Ke and Old Man Han a lesson.
Chen Ke clenched his fists and made a gurgling sound, he said with a calm face: "Your daughter-in-law asked us to catch the adulterer, but she said 200 Wen, if you don't give it, then I can only go to your house to get it in person, but how much to take depends on the mood of the two of us." ”
"I'll give, I'll give!" The man hurriedly said, which of the antique calligraphy and paintings in his house does not exceed 200 Wen, and these two people are really open-minded.
"Thank you."
Chen Ke took the money and gave it to Old Man Han Shiwen, and the two left the courtyard.
The man wanted to cry without tears: "What's the matter, catch my traitor, and let me give money, you two will ...... Will make a fortune! ”
The man finally coaxed, it was Chen Ke who glanced back at him, he thought that his whispering was heard by Chen Ke, and hurriedly piled up a smile that was more ugly than crying.
Chen Ke glanced back at the man, and felt that he was also unlucky, a fierce woman in the family, who came out to steal food but was discovered, and he had to pay for the beating.
Another few days passed.
Chen Ke counted the days, he had been practicing for forty-nine days, and he felt a warm current around his body, and even felt something in his body that had never existed before, like a special breathing thing, which was about to open in his body.
"It's the dantian, the Shenque dantian of the three caves of the dantian in the realm of refining qi!"
Chen Ke's eyes lit up, now as long as he controlled this warm current and rushed into the dantian, he could break through the mortal body and become a cultivator.
A true practitioner, not a "half-immortal" like him who cultivates the method of tuna every day.
Holding back the excitement of becoming a cultivator, Chen Ke continued to breathe and breathe, the teacher said that to walk the invincible path, it takes nine hundred and eighty-one days, not seven seven forty-nine.
Taking a deep breath, after Chen Ke finished cultivating, he silently recited the Taoist book and practiced again.
A long river, sparkling, the late autumn wind blows, and the banks are already full of withered yellow blades of grass.
Old man Han looked at Chen Ke, who was sitting cross-legged on the boat, with a look of surprise on his face.
"You're really different!"
Although Old Man Han is not a cultivator, he has also practiced some Taoist techniques related to cultivators, and he has seen cultivators, and Chen Ke's changes have been very obvious.
What made Old Man Han feel different the most was that Chen Ke's temperament had changed, from the ordinary temperament of the young man before, to a sense of detachment.
Old Man Han knew that this was the result of refining spiritual power into his body.
Chen Ke said: "What's the difference? ”
After the forty-ninth day of cultivation last night, Chen Ke had broken through the first layer of obstacles, and as long as he wanted to, he could break through the shackles of the body's dantian and become a true cultivator.
The blockage of the spiritual veins is no longer a problem!
However, Old Man Han could see Chen Ke's changes, which made Chen Ke a little surprised. Chen Ke knew that Old Man Han was an ordinary person, and he could actually see that the cultivator's transformation was indeed in his hands.
"I don't know, but you definitely have a special change, it's a pity that my strength is low, and I can't understand it." Old man Han shook his head and smiled.
One of the two resting boatmen at the stern of the boat said, "This boy looks like a person with an extraordinary posture and a bearing that far exceeds the strength of my feet, and he is not an ordinary noble son." ”
Chen Ke smiled: "It's just a country boy, don't praise me, my husband can't help but be proud." ”
"Hahaha, Childe's speech is really interesting." The rowing man said with a smile.
Old man Han asked the rowing old man and said, "At the current speed, when will we be able to reach Xizhou Capital?" ”
The rowing man pondered for a moment and said, "It's almost winter now, and there are more north and west winds, and it will take three more days to arrive." ”
Old man Han said: "Then hurry up, if it's late, I'm afraid our guests will be impatient." ”
The old man rowing said with a smile: "Guests rest assured, our boat is big and in time." ”
Xizhou Mansion is more than 1,800 miles away from the border of Jingshi, and Old Man Han took a big deal this time, which made Chen Ke a little shocked when he heard it.
Help the demon catch the adulterer!
Chen Ke was dumbfounded after hearing this, and the demon has also begun to catch rape this year?
Chen Ke and Old Man Han have been together for almost a month, and the two can be regarded as happy to cooperate, but helping the demon catch the traitor, Chen Ke has never done this kind of thing, and he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water.
However, Chen Ke and Old Man Han finally agreed to come down to help catch the traitor, not the other party was threatening Chen Ke and the two, but the money given by the other party...... Too much!
Five hundred taels!
If it was silver, Chen Ke really didn't want to take this deal. The business of demons and monsters is really not easy to do. Once there is a mistake, it is a change of life and death, and put your own life into it.
But five hundred taels of gold.
Chen Ke and Old Man Han couldn't help it. settled directly, and then the two rushed from the border of Beijing to Xizhou Mansion.
The mountains and rivers are continuous on this road, and it is too late to walk, so it is faster to take a boat.
Drifting all the way, Chen Ke was also idle, sitting on the boat and practicing. After the forty-ninth day of cultivation, Chen Ke was already able to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his body with his breath and breath.
It's just that Chen Ke doesn't have a dantian and can't store spiritual power. Originally, the spiritual vein could also store some spiritual power from cultivation, but Chen Ke's spiritual vein was occluded, and he could not store spiritual power.
Chen Ke could only practice and let the spiritual power be wasted from his body, and only then did Chen Ke cultivate the aura of heaven and earth cross-legged, Old Man Han felt that Chen Ke had changed greatly.
Two days later.
Late at night, Chen Ke and Old Man Han were woken up.
The boatman said to them, "Two guests, we have arrived at the Xizhou Mansion." ”
"Thank you." Old man Han took out five hundred yuan and handed it to the boatman.
This is a passenger ship, which was not fast, but Chen Ke and Old Man Han increased the price, so that the boatman owner summoned a lot of young boatmen to come over to help.
Chen Ke also took out 500 wen from his arms and handed it to the boatman.
The boatman smiled and sent Chen Ke and Old Man Han off the boat, saying that if there is a need in the future, he should order them.
The ferry crossing is deserted, with only one trestle. In disrepair, the planks on the trestle fell off a lot, Chen Ke and Old Man Han walked carefully and went to the shore.
In the endless night, Chen Ke said helplessly: "I can only sleep in the wild." ”
Old man Han smiled: "Little brother, forget what I said, as long as I am here, we will not be able to sleep in the wild." ”
Chen Ke looked at Old Man Han with some surprise: "You also have an adopted person in Xizhou Mansion thousands of miles away?" ”
Old man Han smiled and nodded: "That's nature, let's go with the old man." ”
Chen Ke admired Old Man Han very much at this moment, and he asked, "Is there a poor person you adopted in the entire Zhao Kingdom?" ”
Old man Han said with a smile: "No, except for the surroundings of the Jingshi, that is, there are people I adopted in the west of the Jingshi." Every year, I would travel between the Western Realm and the Jingshi Realm, that is, whenever I saw it, I would help build a small village to adopt them. ”
"Amazing, old man Han, I think you are really the number one good person in the world." Chen Ke admired.
Old man Han smiled: "I'm used to it, it doesn't matter to me whether I'm good or not, and the ranking is useless to me." Now that I'm older, I don't know how long I can do it. ”
Chen Ke smiled and said, "That's why you don't want to interfere with the monster's feelings?" ”
Old man Han smiled embarrassedly after hearing this: "If it were me, I wouldn't dare, but with you, I am more relieved." ”
