Chapter 4 Food

"I wonder why the uncle called his nephew here?" asked Guo An. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guo Lan glanced at Guo An deeply. Guo An straightened his waist, his eyes drooped, and he listened respectfully.

"If you don't come today, I'll call you in a few days. Ever since your grandfather was poisoned, I've been searching for a healing hand and a panacea, but nothing has come of it yet. There are several elixirs that can cure the poison on your grandfather's body, and I can't afford to buy them even if I am bankrupt. At present, just to keep your grandfather from deteriorating, you need seven or eight spirit stones every day. Therefore, I need you to take out 200 fiefdoms to cure your grandfather's poison. ”

"Oh!" Guo An was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted. The major question of right and wrong must not be wrong, even if he is slaughtered, he must grit his teeth and agree without hesitation, "Yes, my nephew volunteered to take out 200 fiefdoms to treat my grandfather's illness and poison." And the nephew will definitely cure his grandfather and solve his uncle's worries and problems if he starts learning the art of pills from today. ”

Uncle's words should be true, even if there is moisture, it is not big. His heart to save his grandfather is also real. After all, if he only relied on himself as a Qi Cultivation Dzogchen Cultivator, he would not even have the qualifications to live in the "Baiyin Garden".

When he expressed his determination to speak, a sentence popped out of Guo An'an's head, "If you are beaten, you must stand upright." "Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and other worlds are the same!

After listening to Guo An's words, Guo Lan, who originally wanted to say something, was almost flashed, and there was no need to say the rest of the words.

"Does Uncle have any other orders?"

Guo Lan waved his hand as uncomfortably as constipation, signaling that Guo An could leave.

"The nephew retired. Guo An turned around and left the "Fuzheng Courtyard".

Seeing Guo An's back disappear, Guo Fuxin couldn't help but say to Guo Lan: "Heir, this Young Master An is too 。。。。。。 ”

"Hey!", sighing, Guo Lan said, "This kid has been shrewd since he was a child. No wonder he reached the fifth level of Qi cultivation at the age of twelve. And when I was twelve years old, I only practiced the third layer of qi. Now, with my father's full support, I have only cultivated to the ninth level of the Great Perfection of the Qi Cultivation Period, otherwise it would be good if I could reach the seventh level of Qi training. I don't know if I will be able to become a foundation building monk in my lifetime!"

"Heir, please don't be sad, you still have time and opportunity, and you will definitely be able to become a foundation building monk. This family will surely carry forward in your hands. Guo Fuxin bowed down and persuaded.

"I hope so. Guo Lan retracted his thoughts, "It's a pity that An'er is not a descendant of the main lineage, otherwise his future is limitless." Hmph, what a waste of resources have you wasted on those idiots!"

"Although Young Master An is also outstanding, the Third Young Master (Guo Gu) is even better, and now he is a seventh-level cultivator of Qi cultivation, and the future of the family will still be on the third young master in the future. Guo Fuxin immediately picked up Guo Lan's son-in-law Guo Gu.

Guo Gu is twenty-seven years old, with middle-to-low spiritual qualifications, and is on a mission in the family.

Guo Chuan's family has long been separated, and it was not until Guo Chuan's time that this family became a monk. Guo Chuan's talent is not high, and he became a monk in the foundation building period after a hundred years of penance, but he has to enjoy at least 200 years of life. Now there are six monks in Guo Chuan's line, and there are three of Guo Chuan's bloodline, namely Guo Lan, the eldest son, Guo Gu, the third son of Guo Lan, the fifth grandson, and Guo An, the nineteenth grandson. There is also Guo Chuantang's nephew Guo Feng, and another person is Guo Chuan's wife Cao. The monks of the children of the Guo family also have fiefdoms, and their fiefdoms are only half of those of the children of the Guo family.

There are more than 100 people in Guo Chuan's side branch, and there are six monks, which is not a high proportion.

Guo An came out of the "Fuzheng Courtyard", and he was very depressed but there was nothing to say. First go to the residence of my grandmother Cao to say goodbye to Cao. Then he turned around and came to his grandmother Lu's residence "Qingmengju".

Grandma Lu was born in the Lu family, a small family of Xiuzhen, and did not practice spiritual roots. In his forties, he was less than fifty. In addition to the eldest son Guo Ningcheng, there is also the second son Guo Ningcun and daughter Guo Xiuqi. The second uncle, Guo Ningcun, is married and lives abroad. If you are not a concubine, you are not allowed to live in the "Baiyin Garden" after marriage. The aunt married the Xing family, a small family in Xiuzhen, and the son-in-law was the wife. But my uncle also has no spiritual roots. Because she is a monk, her grandmother's status and treatment are much higher than those of other concubines.

The Lu family and the Xing family, the small families of Xiuzhen mentioned here, are just small families attached to the Guo family, and they obey the orders of the Guo family, and the Guo family can be prosperous and destroyed with a word.

And the real small family in the land of Bai'an is independent and has backers among the three factions of Chongshan.

"The Nineteenth Young Master is here!" the people in the grandmother's room stepped forward one after another to salute.

After greeting my grandmother, I chatted with my grandmother for a while. Grandma also heard that there was a problem with her practice, and she repeatedly instructed her several times, telling herself not to be impatient in her practice but to take it step by step. In addition, when it came to Guo An's fiefdom, grandma said that the uncle asked all the monks in Guo Chuan's family to take out half of the fiefdom to treat grandpa.

Guo An understood what his grandmother meant, he was afraid that he would be reluctant to make a mistake with his uncle, so he told his grandmother that he was willing to sacrifice his feud and that he had sworn to learn Dandao knowledge to do his best for his grandfather's recovery. Grandma breathed a sigh of relief.

From the conversation with his grandmother, Guo An discovered her grandmother's worries. These worries are both for myself and for my grandfather. It seems that grandma is having a hard time these days.

After thinking about it, Guo An took out ten spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to his grandmother, "Grandma, grandpa's injury grandson has no way for the time being." Grandma has to take care of grandpa, and it also has a lot of expenses, and grandma has ten spirit stones to use first, don't be stingy, just spend it. ”

Grandma Lu Shi shirked and said, "No, An'er, the cost of your cultivation is very large, and grandma can't ask for your spirit stone." ”

"Grandma, you can take it. I have just broken through to the fifth floor, and according to the family rules, I can still get another hundred fiefdoms. Although I need a lot of spirit stones for my cultivation, if I have to hold these ten spirit stones firmly in my hands, then this is the only thing I can do in my life. You have to believe in your grandson's ability, I am a fifth-order cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, and I have already figured out a way to make money. So grandma, you can take it. ”

"Okay, I'll keep it for you first, and I'll ask grandma for it when you need it. Seeing her grandson say this, Grandma Lu no longer shirked it.

After sitting for a while, he greeted the second uncle and aunt about the current situation, and then left the "Baiyin Garden".

"Go to the 'Red Departure Hall'. Guo An stepped into the carriage and instructed Chen Bodao. Uncle Chen gave the order to the groom again.

"Chili Hall" is located in the center of Chili City, and it is the institution of the Guo family to manage the Guo family monks, including rewards, punishments, and assignment of tasks. Next to it is the "Red Wind Academy". In fact, the "Chili Hall" can only manage the monks of the Guo family. Guo An's "Chili Tang" was to receive a new hundred fiefdoms. In the past, it was the grandfather who brought Guo An to receive the food, so Guo An didn't have to bother. Now that the end of the year is approaching, you can get an extra year's income by receiving the fiefdom early.

The left courtyard of "Chili Hall" is the examination institute where the elders of the examination hall live.

Guo Lu, a tall and thin man with a round face, is in his forties this year, has poor qualifications, and has a sixth-level cultivation of Qi training. Through the knotting of a son of the main line, he got the errand of the examination institute. On this day, when I was working in the examination institute, I suddenly saw a teenager walking through the gate and entering the examination institute.

"Why did this little brother come to the "Examination Academy"?" Guo Lu was the first to ask, and he did not slack off because of Guo An's age. He cherished this errand and would never offend anyone, not even a child. Who knows what background this kid has.

Guo An was polite and dared to ask the deacon's honorable name. I have just recently broken through the fifth layer of Qi training, and I have come to the "Examination Academy" to register and receive a hundred feudal towns. Guo An replied.

Guo Lu showed a surprised look after hearing this, "My name is Guo Lu." The little brother is so talented, and he is so outstanding at a young age, is it the son of a branch of the main line?"

This is a clichΓ© to touch the details of yourself, can you not answer? No. "Thank you, Deacon, for the compliment. I'm not a descendant, my grandfather was Guo Chuan, a monk in the foundation building period. In a proud tone, Guo An strives to play the innocent child.

"It turns out that you are Guo Chuan's grandson, and with such an outstanding grandson as you, Senior Guo should feel very pleased. You should also relax, Guo Chuan's predecessor Ji Ren has his own blessing and will definitely recover. Guo Lu thought about it carefully and understood the details of Guo An.

There are more than 300,000 clansmen in the entire Guo family, thousands of monks, and more than 100 monks in the foundation building period. "Chilitang" is the place where thousands of monks are managed, and if you want to do a good job in peace, basically every monk's information must be memorized, and the monk's memory is several times stronger than that of mortals.

And the family mission some time ago was not just Guo Chuan's poisoning, nothing more. Guo Chuan was still lucky, and several monks in the foundation building period fell, and dozens of monks in the Qi cultivation period died tragically. The consequences of this mission were very serious, and the upper echelons of the family were furious and sent more people to investigate. Even Chili City was covered with a somewhat dignified atmosphere.

Guo An listened to Guo Luyan's insincere comfort, pretended to be sad, and reluctantly squeezed out a few tears, "Thank you for your good words." I have sworn to learn the art of elixir, and I will definitely cure my grandfather. Guo An has to make his decision public at all times so that people don't be surprised by his behavior. In addition, learning Dan Tao because of filial piety is always appreciated.

Now that Guo An's bottom has been discovered, it is easy to deal with.

Guo Chuan belongs to the fourth branch of the Guo family, but he is not the queen of Guo Qiu, the ancestor of Jindan.

Guo Lu happened to know that Guo Chuan's backstage and the seven elders of the main vein left the land of Bai'an in order to find the opportunity to tie the Dan. This is the reason why Guo Chuan's poisoning was ignored. The only remaining Guo Lan practiced the ninth layer of qi, and he was not afraid of him.

"Young Master Guo An, you wait a minute, I'll go see if the elder's practice is over. Guo Lu's right hand fingered the inner chamber.

But Guo An saw that his eyes were rolling, and the movements in his hands seemed to be counting money, and he immediately chuckled in his heart, "It's bad, it seems that whether it is the world of science and technology or the world of cultivation, filial piety is indispensable for doing things." But the last ten spirit stones I gave to my grandmother, and the only thing of value in the storage bag was the low-level and mid-level magic weapon "Golden Blade Sword" given by my grandfather. As a person who inherited part of the memory and experience of the peerless swordsman Wei Dongping, Guo An knew that "you must never give someone a handle", and that combat weapons must never be left from your body, which is the principle. It's hard to do. Guo An could only pretend to be small and tender, and he could only pretend not to understand Guo Lu's actions and turn a blind eye.

Guo Lu's face darkened, and he scolded in his heart, "Little rabbit, you just pretend, I don't believe that no one in your family has told you the unspoken rules." There will be a time when you cry in the future. Ignoring Guo An, Guo Lu turned around and entered the inner hall and hung Guo An in the courtyard.

"I must not have read the yellow calendar when I went out today!"

There is no way to wait, this wait is most of the day, until the sun is about to set, Guo Lu came out to inform Guo An to enter the internal pilgrimage to see the elders.

Guo tried to build the foundation in the later stage of cultivation, and was sent to the "Chili Hall" as a ten-year merit elder. Usually, Guo Zhan doesn't care about foreign affairs, but just concentrates on practice. When something happens, I come out to deal with it, and continue to practice after I am done.

In the middle of the inner hall is a black nine-story exquisite pagoda. A small bronze incense burner behind the tower, the incense burner emits a faint green smoke, and the fragrant fragrance that penetrates the heart fills the whole room. Take a big sip, your mind will suddenly be clear and sensitive, and your body and mind will be relaxed. This is the "Slimming Fragrance", which Guo An used only when he broke through the retreat in the past.

At this time, the elder Guo Yan was sitting cross-legged indoors, with a weak expression. Under the background of the green smoke in the room, there is indeed a bit of an ethereal dusty atmosphere. A gentle glance swept over Guo An, and he felt that his whole body was being seen through. Although he did not deliberately urge the mana to exude coercion, the class gap in cultivation made Guo An instinctively restrain his mind and dare not pant loudly. In Guo An's perception, the old man in front of him is a super bomb waiting to be activated, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed. In comparison, Uncle Guo Lan's can be pretentious is too unpopular. As for Guo Lu, who is bound on the side of the room, it can be completely ignored.

"Guo An has seen the elder of the examination, and I wish the elder an early marriage and an immortal life. Guo An bowed and said hello.

"You are Guo Chuan's grandson, you just broke through the fifth floor, why didn't you take the academy annual exam?" asked Guo Qian.

It seems that the family has detailed records of each of its own monks, and the family's control over the monks is still very strong. Guo An replied calmly: "Tell the elders, Guo An was in a hurry before the annual exam, although his cultivation was lucky enough to break through to the fifth layer, he hurt his divine sense, and he rested for more than ten days before going out, so he missed the annual exam." ”

"Although you are from a side branch and you are young, the fact that you have been able to achieve your current cultivation also shows your talent and hard work. You have to cherish it and don't rush it, you will definitely become a pillar of the family in the future. Guo said slightly.

"Thank you for the Elders' love and teaching. Guo An will definitely remember it in the future. Guo An bowed his head and replied.

Guo tried to point to the nine-story exquisite pagoda in the hall and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it." Family rules cannot be abolished. ”

The black Linglong Pagoda is six feet high, simple and solemn in shape, and is divided into nine floors. During the assessment, the monk put his hands on the spire, and the spiritual power in his body circulated for a week, and the Linglong Pagoda had several layers of glow, which was the cultivation of several layers during the Qi training period. This was specially refined by Guo Jie, the first ancestor of the Guo family, in order to test the descendants of the family.

Other Xiuzhen families all have similar magic weapons, and the shapes of their expressions may be somewhat different, but the core rune prohibitions are all similar.

Guo An has tested it four times, and he is no stranger. As before, he put his hands on the top of the tower, closed his eyes and performed the exercises, and carried the "Purple Sun Decision". With Guo An's practice, the Linglong Pagoda lit up from the bottom to the top until it stopped on the fifth floor. The five-story tower below emits a red light, and the red light is faintly purple. The red light indicates that Guo An is practicing fire exercises, and purple may be Guo An's practice of "Purple Yang Decision" and "Purple Fire Gong".

The red light emitted from the tower was bright but not dazzling, it was stable, and there were almost no fluctuations.

Guo tried to see it and nodded.

Guo An collected his merits and stood with his hands tied.

Guo Qian said: "Your foundation is very solid, and you must continue to work hard in the future." Guo Lu, you take Guo An to handle the handover of the fiefdom. Go ahead. ”

"Yes, as the elders command. Guo Lu bowed and replied, turning to face Guo An, "Guo Angongzi, please follow me." ”

Guo An held the newly assigned deed of feud and the official document of the feudal division in his hand, and walked out of the "Examination Academy" in Guo Luyan's smiling send-off. Guo Lu said as he saw him off, "Guo An, you have to work hard in the future to serve the elders." Because the elders favor you, I have specially chosen a high-quality fief for you, and the yield of that land is three times that of other fiefdoms. Ordinary people can't fight for their heads. You must not fail the expectations of the elders. ”

At this time, it was time to get off work, and the people in each courtyard and room were walking out. Everyone is a monk, deaf and clear-sighted. Guo Lu did not hide his voice when he spoke, and many people heard his words. The eyes were focused on Guo An's body.

Guo An understands that he has been cheated, and he has been cheated a lot. Looking at Guo Lu's sinister round face, Guo An really wanted to kick him, his eyes burst, his front teeth knocked out, and he peed inside. But at this moment, you have to endure it, and your performance can't be bad, otherwise the people around you don't know what to say about yourself.

continued to pretend to be innocent, "Thank you, Deacon Guo Lu, Guo An will definitely work hard to live up to the elder's teachings." Guo An will also study hard, and he will definitely cure the strange poison on his grandfather. Deacon: Goodbye. Guo An walked out of the "red hall" with a stiff smile on his face, and his fists under his sleeves were clenched tightly.

"Little bunny, laugh now, you'll be crying in a few days. Lao Tzu only practiced the sixth-level cultivation of qi when he was in his forties, and you had a fifth-layer cultivation at the age of twelve, isn't there a grandfather in the foundation building period, and now your grandfather is not good. If you want to save him, dream, it's not enough for you to be a rabbit. Guo Lu looked at Guo An's disappearing back and smiled gloomily. He felt that his thoughts were so accessible at this moment, and even the spiritual power in his body was running as he wanted. The cultivation that has been silent and sluggish for many years has been loosened and lively.

Guo Anjia.

Sitting in the study, Guo An stared at the title deeds and official documents on the desk.

"Qi'an Village, Red Sand Valley, Shanggou Mountain. "This is the location of Guo Anxin's 100 fiefdoms. "Shanggou Mountain" is the remnant vein of the 800-mile Chili Mountain, and it is about 4500 miles away from the "Chili City".

There must be something wrong with "Qi'an Village", there is no doubt about it. The key is what the problem of "Qi'an Village" is and whether it can be solved. If it can't be solved, the existence of this fief is equivalent to the none. My eyes are almost green when I am short of money now.

"Young Master!" came the voice of the butler Guo Linsheng outside the door.

"Come in. Guo An said.

Guo Linsheng entered the study and bowed, "Young Master, do you have something to do with me?" Guo Linsheng is a member of Benzhi's clan, in his fifties, a congenital master, and his skills are not weaker than Uncle Chen.

Guo An handed over the title deed and official documents to the housekeeper Guo Linsheng, "This is my new fiefdom, you have time to go to the transfer in the past few days and find out where the situation is." ”

Guo Linsheng bowed down to receive the order, "Yes, young master." ”

Then Guo An waved his hand and motioned for Guo Linsheng to leave.

Guo Linsheng bowed again, and then left the study.
