After countless people saw Chen Kan's body with their own eyes, no one doubted whether his death was true or not.

And the undercurrent of the forces of all parties in the capital did not seem to have any impact on the Hou Mansion, which was caught in a sea of sorrow.

These days, there are fewer and fewer guests who come to the Hou Mansion to mourn, and it seems that everyone is waiting for the day of Chen Kan's funeral.

Everything is going according to the plan.

At this time—

Twenty miles northwest of the city, in a clearing next to a huge water bay on the Yangtze River, countless craftsmen are busy.

This is the burial place that Qin Tianjian chose for Chen Kan.

It is also the place where the grand land and water puja is held on the eighth day of the twelfth month.

What the craftsmen are building now is the altar used for the land and water pujas.

The whole altar is three miles long and three miles wide, which can accommodate tens of thousands of monks to chant and pray here, and at the same time, it can also accommodate 100,000 people to watch the ceremony.

Such a grand water and land puja is a grand event for the entire Buddhist sect.

Now the monks from all over the Ming Dynasty are still desperately rushing to Beijing, hoping to catch up with this Buddhist event.

Not far away, in a small village, a house was surrounded by the captain of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

In the house, Chen Kan was grilling and barbecuing with a comfortable face.

A few days ago, in order to make his death look more realistic, Chen Kan had no choice but to eat a fake death pill provided by Dao Yan.

After fooling the officials who went to mourn, Zhu Di arranged for someone to move to this house overnight.

It is said that he can cultivate his body.

But Chen Kan knew that Zhu Di was leaving him the opportunity for revenge, giving him the opportunity to kill the enemy.

This time the strategy of cheating death is undoubtedly very successful for Chen Kan.

The people who had malicious intentions towards the Hou Mansion all surfaced, allowing Chen Kan to save a discernment procedure.

After more than a month of cultivation, Chen Kan has also changed from a skinny appearance to a thin young man.

Although it has not yet returned to the way it was before the coma, compared to when it was lying in the coffin, it is simply like two people.

In addition to Chen Kan in the courtyard, there were three women who were temporarily transferred by Zhu Di to protect his life.

According to Zhu Di, each of these women can block ten with one, and they are the real masters of the palace.

Chen Kan had never seen them make a move, but just looking at the tall and burly figures on their arms that could run horses, he had never doubted the combat effectiveness of these women.

Backing women, Chen Kan can easily recognize their true identities.

He originally thought that the creature of the backing woman had long been extinct, but he didn't expect Zhu Di to not only restore this creature, but also really let them have good combat effectiveness.

The meat skewers on the iron mesh were grilled to the bribling oil, and a rich aroma of meat spread through the courtyard.

Chen Kan grabbed a handful of cumin powder and sprinkled it on the meat skewers, then picked up a string of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's a pity, there's no chili!"

The taste is okay, but it's a pity that Chen Kan is used to eating spicy food in later generations, and now he always feels a little less soul when he eats this kind of meat skewer sprinkled with cumin.

After eating three strings in a row, Chen Kan stopped eating.

With his current physical condition, three skewers of barbecue are already the limit of his digestive system, and he will be constipated if he eats it again.

But Chen Kan's speed of barbecue did not slow down at all, and soon, the wooden plate on the side was full of grilled meat skewers.

Seeing that the meat skewers made today had all been grilled, Chen Kan clapped his hands, divided the skewers evenly into three parts in a wooden plate, and then came to the three women who were guarding the door like a door god with a wooden plate.

"Boss, eat meat!"

Chen Kan put a skewer into the boss's hand, and came to the other woman: "Second child, eat meat." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Kan put the last barbecue in the hands of the last woman: "Third child, this is yours." ”

Chen Kan's movements were very skillful, and it was obviously not the first time he had fed the three women.

And after the three women got the barbecue, they looked at Chen Kan neatly with empty eyes.

"Look what I'm doing, eat!"

Chen Kan made a gesture of eating meat, and the three women put a handful of skewers into their mouths and chewed them expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Chen Kan couldn't help but pat his head.

Yes, yesterday I taught them that they must spit out bamboo sticks when eating barbecue, and they forgot about it again.

That's right, Chen Kan is teaching these three women.

He was doing experiments to see if he could teach the backer woman to be a normal person.

Before coming here, these three backing women would only do one thing, and that was to practice martial arts, and they practiced martial arts without being able to move.

They don't do anything else, including eating by themselves.

Chen Kan probably knows some of the methods of training backing women, and after a long time, the backing women will lose their ability to think for themselves and become pure war machines.

It can be said that the means are very cruel.

During these days, Chen Kan deliberately changed the daily life rhythm of the backing woman, but from the results of today's experiment, it seems that the effect is not great.

Chen Kan skillfully pulled out the bamboo skewers that had been chewed to the point of deformation from their mouths, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Even animals can easily understand human intentions through long-term training, but backing women can't, what is the problem?

Throwing the bamboo sticks aside, Chen Kan strode into the room, ready to change the way they were taught to do things.

There were two other people in the room, a small eunuch and an old imperial doctor.

The little eunuch came to serve Chen Kan's daily life and feed the backing women, and the old imperial doctor came to regulate Chen Kan's body.

Seeing Chen Kan walk in, the old imperial doctor didn't raise his head and said, "The old man told you a long time ago that you can't teach them anything just by teaching them methods and not formulating any rewards and punishments." ”

In the past, Chen Kan never paid attention to the old imperial doctor's, but today he stopped.

"I thought they were like a blank sheet of paper that could be scribbled on casually, like a child, but it turned out that I was wrong."

Hearing Chen Kan's confession, the old imperial doctor looked at Chen Kan in surprise as if he had discovered a new continent: "I thought you should know that they have become machines." ”

Chen Kanmo rubbed his chin and suddenly asked, "In that case, how can they tell who is their master and who is their enemy?" ”

The old imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Kan with the eyes of a fool, shook his head and stopped talking.

But Chen Kan still heard his muttering.

He's saying that this Hou Ye is afraid that there is something wrong with his brain!

For the sake of this old guy saving his life, Chen Kan decided not to bother with him.

Instead, he asked seriously: "You see, they are human beings, whether they are human beings in terms of appearance, skin color or body structure, they are human beings like us, but since they are human beings, they must have the ability to think for themselves, even if they become fools." ”

The old imperial doctor rolled his eyes: "And then?" ”

"And then, and then I want to awaken the way of thinking and the ability to learn that they should have as human beings as higher beings, is that wrong?"

Chen Kan's tone was very bad, and the bad old imperial doctor changed his normal state, and responded with a face full of approval: "That's right, you just go and try." ”

Chen Kan's chest was stuffy, and he only felt that a punch had hit the cotton, and the whole person was extremely uncomfortable.

Without saying a word, he walked back to his room, lay down, and began to think.

He knew that in fact, the old imperial doctor was right, when people train animals, they often cultivate a suitable habit for them first.

Just like a famous monkey experiment in later generations, two monkeys, at the beginning, fed them carrots, and after teaching them something, they upgraded the food they were fed and replaced them with bananas.

In the long run, after the two monkeys have formed a habit, after they have done something, one of them will change the prize from a banana to a carrot, and the other will still reward a banana.

Then, the monkey who gets the carrot will be angry, unusually angry.

But that's a monkey, and the backer woman is a human.

Chen Kan felt that he had always been a person who respected life very much, and he couldn't do such a thing by using the method of training monkeys to train people.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Kan didn't come up with any way to teach the backer woman a certain skill without using any means.

A hint of exhaustion flashed through his mind, and Chen Kan decided to sleep first.

The next day, Chen Kan still fed the three women without any conditions, and took the trouble to tell them to spit out the bamboo sticks and not swallow them.

But the effect is still not great.

Then, Chen Kan decided to give up this method of hearing and retiring his life.

He planned to follow the old imperial doctor's method, prick their arms with bamboo sticks when they chewed them, and reward them with a bowl of rice when they spit out the bamboo sticks.

But just as he was about to start the experiment, there was a commotion outside the door.

"What happened?"

Chen Kan walked towards the direction of the gate with a curious expression, but only halfway through, he was grabbed by the collar by a backing woman.

"The hosts... Said... You... No... Get out."

The intermittent words came out of the boss's mouth, and Chen Kan's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Boss, can you speak?" ”

But the boss only said that, and then fell silent again.

just grabbed Chen Kan's collar tightly and didn't let him get close to the door.

"Daring, do you know who I am? Why don't you let me in, get out of the way. ”

Outside the door, a somewhat arrogant voice came into Chen Kan's ears.

Chen Kan couldn't help frowning: "How could he know that I was here?" ”

But a moment later, he still commanded outside the door, "Let him in." ”

"Hmph."

There was a cold snort outside the door, followed by the sound of the door being pushed open.

A face with oily hair and a powdery face came into view.

After tidying up the collar that had been crumpled by the boss, Chen Kan arched his hand to the comer: "Grandpa is here, what are you doing?" ”
