The years when I explored the fairyland

Another day, early morning.

"Come, come, you two, drink this soup first, one bowl each, gulp it down, it's bitter, don't hesitate."

"At the beginning of martial arts, the most important thing is the standing practice. The so-called standing practice, also known as horse stance, requires you to experience the flow and operation of the power of qi and blood before you can find a way to grasp and condense it.

Only after passing these two levels can you be considered a true entry and a true martial artist."

"You are still young, but there is still time.

Lay a good foundation first, so that you can take advantage of the stage of physical development to complete the comprehensive tempering of muscles, skin and bones, not only to raise the upper limit of the body, but also to build the most perfect foundation."

"As long as you follow my "Teach me how to practice. Believe me, you will make all the warriors in Baisha City bow down one day."

"Now, the three styles of the dragon, follow what I teach you, move, move..."

"Xu Cheng, second junior brother, why does your dragon feel like a lizard? That is a dragon, an angry dragon, it must be fierce and mighty to choose its prey!"

"Yi Huai, my little junior brother, what are you laughing at!

Your dragon is not even a lizard, it looks like a chicken walking on the ground. The dragon ascending to the sky style requires stretching and reaching the four extremes. What is yours?"

In the backyard, a pot of Qi-boosting and blood-tonifying soup has been shared by the three brothers. Although it is bitter, they eat it all.

And Chu Zhou, sitting on a small stool, with his hands on his legs, the cold air is like a summer breeze, taking away the heat and sweat on his body.

It is obvious that he has just finished practicing martial arts, and at this time, he is instructing his two junior brothers.

The two little guys each took a place and were practicing Chu Zhou's modified three-stroke dragon movement. If there was anything wrong, he would scold without mercy.

Of course, he scolded fiercely, but Chu Zhou was still quite satisfied.

On the one hand, they had practiced the three-stroke dragon movement frequently before, so they were quite proficient. Even if there were some changes, they were not many after all, as long as they focused.

In addition, the talents of the two little guys were not bad.

Especially Yi Huai, this kid was actually an extremely active person. Even if he was beaten, he would not change his nature. He had a tenacity in his bones.

Coupled with his enthusiasm for martial arts, he had a sense of madness.

Even though Chu Zhou was only giving him guidance for the first time, he could actually feel the shallow flow of strength from him.

This was of course not achieved today, but the foundation accumulated before.

Yi Huai, with the simplified version taught by Xuan Zhen Laodao, was able to grasp the strength, which showed his good martial arts talent.

As for Qi and blood?

Then he really needs to keep replenishing and strengthening his body.

Chu Zhou believes that in one or two months at most, he will be able to enter the threshold of a warrior after making up for his physical deficiencies.

As for Xu Cheng, he does not have such a high talent for martial arts, but he has a clear personality and is very interested in medicine!

He can read such complicated medical books quietly, and he can remember everything he has seen and draw inferences from one example.

In fact, some of the tricky questions he raised could not be answered even when Taoist Xuanzhen was still there.

And since he found out that he has talent in this area, Taoist Xuanzhen has handed over the ordinary diagnosis, prescription, treatment and decoction to him.

Therefore, Chu Zhou decided to let him do the work of boiling the "Qi-Yi-Benefiting and Blood-Benefiting Soup".

Just when the two little guys were practicing hard, Fan Zhong strode into the backyard. His movements paused for a moment, and he looked at the two people who were moving around with a faint envy in his eyes.

However, he restrained himself quickly, just glanced past and lowered his head.

Walking quickly to Chu Zhou, Fan Zhong whispered: "Young master, you are looking for me?"

Chu Zhou did not answer immediately, but tilted his head slightly and asked: "Uncle Fan, how do you think the two junior brothers are practicing?"

Fan Zhong looked up again and said: "I am just a rough man, how can I know how the two young Taoist priests are practicing?

However, the master will teach in person, so it will not be bad."

Chu Zhou laughed and asked: "Then do you want to learn?"

"Ah, can I learn?"

"I am old, my muscles and bones are fixed, and it is not easy to practice successfully."

Chu Zhou tilted his head slightly, as if he saw the disappointment in Fan Zhong's eyes, and smiled and said: "I remember, Uncle Fan, you have a son, right?"

"Two sons and one daughter, the master should be asking about my eldest son, who is fourteen this year and can already help with farm work at home."

Chu Zhou said: "Fourteen years old! The best age for practicing martial arts, if Uncle Fan is willing, you can send him to me, All the expenses for medicines will be borne by the temple.

As for how much he can learn and to what extent, it depends on his own efforts. "

Fan Zhong stood up straight at once, his face full of disbelief: "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you!"

Chu Zhou turned back and looked at the two junior brothers who were concentrating on practicing martial arts, and said softly: "Uncle Fan, this is your reward for not abandoning me.

Also, don't call me 'master' in the future. I don't like it. In the future, just call me 'master'!"

Fan Zhong hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes, master, then I will let my eldest son come over tomorrow and listen to the master's training.

If he is disobedient, he can be beaten and scolded. Master, don't save face for me."

"I will!"

Chu Zhou finally smiled and said: "Uncle Fan, don't worry. If your eldest son learns well, I don't mind taking in another disciple on behalf of the master."

"Thank you for the reward, master!"

"Okay, let's get down to business. I've called you here today. There are three main things you need to do."

"Master Guan, please give your orders."

Chu Zhou straightened his body slightly, took a small horse tie from the side, put it behind Fan Zhong, waved his hand for him to sit down, and then said: "First, the master has been buried, and I should have full control over the property of Xuanzhen Temple. Take over, so I need to tally the accounts.”

"Secondly, the master is no longer around, so people's hearts may be in doubt.

Therefore, I need Uncle Fan to help me find out. If someone does something shady, it must be dealt with. "

This is talking about two things, but it can actually be regarded as one thing. Before, Fan Zhong handled these chores and acted as the butler.

At this time, when he heard that Chu Zhou wanted to take over, he didn't say anything nonsense and said directly: "This is what it should be. The temple master allows me to inform you. The results will be available in the next two days at the latest."

After a pause, he spoke again: "But, Master, although it is necessary to take over the property, it is useless if the core problem is not solved!"

"The Xue Mansion, the Sihai Gang, the Zhan Family, or even more people will not let us go."

"How do you know I didn't solve the problem?"

"Ah! Is there any?"

"The third thing I want you to do is to arrange for people to go to Baisha City to collect information, especially about the Xue Mansion. For example, did Xue Nu die unexpectedly last night?

And, what are the reactions of other families?

If so, be sure to report it to me quickly! "

Chu Zhou said it lightly, but Fan Zhong was a little stunned: "You mean Xue Nu, the chief steward of the Xue Mansion is dead?

When did he die? There was a funeral yesterday, didn't he come to express his condolences? How could he just die? "

"Of course he's dead, I killed him!"

Chu Zhou tilted his head slightly, looked at Fan Zhong and said, "After all, some people have to realize that our Xuanzhen Temple is not really powerless to fight back, so that they can be a little afraid."

"But the old master's secret technique?"

"yes!"

"That's good. This is enough."

Chu Zhou shook his head: "I'm afraid there are still people who are still evil, so I need you to help me collect information and see the specific reactions of those people."

This is Chu Zhou's main purpose.

After all, he has only been here for a few days, and his understanding of the operating rules of this world, the ways of the world, interpersonal relationships, and the value of force all come from the memory of the original person.

And the original person is, after all, just a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old!

He didn't know if his intimidation was effective?

Or to what extent?

Therefore, he needs enough information and needs to truly know himself and his enemy to support his next action.

Please note that he still has the task of [establishing a sect], and how to carry out the follow-up is also a big problem.

Fan Zhong's performance was even more exciting. He got the task, and when he left, his steps were full of strength, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Chu Zhou looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but smile.

There was a saying in the past life that human nature cannot withstand the test!

In fact, Fan Zhong has done a very good job. Even when his master died, he worked hard to support the situation of Xuanzhen Guan.

After Chu Zhou woke up, he tried hard to cooperate with his various actions.

He has strong execution ability and good scheduling ability. All the miscellaneous things are taken care of clearly in his hands.

He also encouraged Xuan Zhen Guan to maintain the precarious situation.

However, just because he is capable and loyal does not mean that he must not be selfish.

Chu Zhou believes that the people who contact him in private will not come in waves. Now that he is not tempted, what can he do later?

How long has it been?

It's hard to say all this, so Chu Zhou wants to nip this possibility in the cradle.

Therefore, he gave a place to learn martial arts, and also clearly informed Xue Nu's death, which was both an inducement and a deterrent. He gave benefits and gave hope to the other party, thus completely stabilizing the other party's heart.

This is your method!

Naturally, the original person didn't understand, but Chu Zhou was not uncommon in his previous life, but he used it this time.

I have to say that the effect was remarkable. In the afternoon, various accounts were sent over.

Chu Zhou met many tenants and several shopkeepers, and after looking through the account books, he had a rough idea of ​​Xuan Zhen Guan's industry.

Not counting the Xuanzhen Temple itself, nor the gold and silver in the secret room, just the five hundred acres of high-quality fertile land is a guarantee and a certification of the landlord class.

It’s hard to imagine what owning land meant in an ancient context.

Then there is an inn in the city, which is not high-grade, but the passenger flow is really not low.

Both grain stores have complete purchase channels and corresponding customer groups.

These three shops can bring Xuan Zhen Guan an income of about fifty taels of silver every month.

Even excluding the various expenses of the Taoist temple, there is still a net profit of nearly thirty taels.

Don't think it's a small amount. In Baisha City, where an adult laborer can only earn one or two taels of silver a month, this income is extremely considerable.

Furthermore, the old Taoist Xuanzhen was also stingy. He was not willing to spend money in the past. This is how he saved the money in the secret room.

But Chu Zhou was different.

With a wave of his hand, he waived a lot of rent for the tenants. After a good harvest, he could only keep 30% of the rent for the tenants, but now it is 35%.

As for the employees and shopkeepers in the shops, they received an extra sum based on their wages.

In fact, it didn't cost much, but this one move has won people's hearts.

On the other side, Fan Zhong also came back from gathering information.

The death of the Xue Mansion's housekeeper and the ghost disaster that the Xue Mansion suffered have been spread to everyone.
