Immortal Master Invincible

Chapter 1379 Return ([-])

In the Qingfeng Building at night, from the corridor, you can see the bright moon in the sky, the shadows of the trees dancing, and the rustling sound of the leaves blown by the breeze.

Pang Xiaonan was wandering in the sky, and suddenly a thought popped up, "Damn, you promised the gorilla Kehan ​​to give him something to eat."

So Pang Xiaonan went downstairs, and saw that the lobby on the first floor of Qingfeng Building was very lively and bustling, it was really comparable to the supper stalls in Hallelujah Star.

Pang Xiaonan found Chen Yuannan who was busy in the kitchen, and said, "Old Chen, I also promised Kehan ​​to give him something to eat."

"Khan?" Chen Yuannan didn't react immediately, "Who is Kehan?"

"The big ape in the Falling Soul Abyss Forest." Pang Xiaonan reminded.

"Oh, it's him, why, are you going to send it over now?" Chen Yuannan held a plate of small fish and shrimp in his hand.

"It has been delayed for so many days, we must keep our word."

Pang Xiaonan thought that it would be fine to sit at night, so why not go for a walk in Zhuhunyuan Forest.

"What if they discover the black hole?" Chen Yuannan thought that he was busy downstairs, and Pang Xiaonan walked away again, so don't really miss the opening of the black hole.

"It's okay, I'm sure I can see the signal from them in Falling Soul Abyss. In such a good night, the rocket must be very conspicuous."

"Alright then, I'll arrange some food and drink to bring you there."

Chen Yuannan immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare good wine and food for Pang Xiaonan.

It has only been a few days since he came here, and the servants of this Qingfenglou regard Chen Yuannan as the real boss. Now Liu Rushi doesn't care much about the business of Qingfenglou, but instead stays with Jingxin.

"Make more dishes, you also know that Kehan ​​is so big."

In less than 10 minutes, Pang Xiaonan got a vegetable box, which was piled up in several stacks, which seemed to be quite a lot.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Pang Xiaonan went out of the kitchen, put on the Vajra Mecha, and flew towards the Falling Soul Abyss forest.

Flying to the outskirts of Zhuhunyuan Forest, Pang Xiaonan didn't stop, and flew directly to the valley where Kehan ​​was.

Soon, Pang Xiaonan saw the silent valley under the moonlight.

When Pang Xiaonan landed on the ground, Kehan ​​appeared in front of Pang Xiaonan.

"Why are you here?" Kehan's voice was calm and magnetic.

"How do you know I'm coming?" Pang Xiaonan was very strange, shouldn't he come out only after a younger brother informs him?
"You forgot, I can know who you are and where you come from." Kehan ​​remained calm.

Only then did Pang Xiaonan remember that Kehan ​​is a god-like existence, so he naturally knew of his arrival, so he omitted the red tape in the middle.

"I'm here to bring you food, I promised you last time." Pang Xiaonan opened the vegetable box, brought out a plate of delicious dishes from inside, and placed them on the ground.

"Well, I didn't expect you to be a trustworthy person." Kehan ​​was not polite, picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.

"Oh, Brother Monkey, I forgot to ask the kitchen staff to cut the meat bigger, your mouth is so big..."

Pang Xiaonan still underestimated Kehan's appetite.

"It's okay, I'll just treat it as a snack." Kehan ​​is more relaxed about eating than Pang Xiaonan, because Pang Xiaonan can absorb spiritual energy, and Kehan ​​can live without eating or drinking for many years.

"You brought wine, come on, let me try." Kehan ​​picked up the bottle and poured a bottle of wine into his mouth, "Well, the wine tastes pretty good."

Pang Xiaonan stared blankly, the catty of wine seemed to be poured into Kehan's mouth like an oral liquid.

"There's one more bottle here." Luckily, Pang Xiaonan brought two bottles of wine, and he handed over the rest, "Here you are."

"Put it there and drink it later."

Kehan ​​looked up at the sky and said to Pang Xiaonan, "I still want to thank you for giving me something to eat."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do, and you let my friend go."

Pang Xiaonan sat down with Kehan, one person and one monkey sat side by side under the moon, the moonlight elongated the figure, and the figure shot into the cave behind Kehan, blending with the darkness.

"You were exiled here, how long will it take you to go back?" Pang Xiaonan was very curious about the laws of Kebra Star.

"There is no time limit. An envoy will come to check my state of mind regularly. He will take me back if he thinks you have reformed."

There were no waves in Kehan's words.

"How often do you mean this regularly?" Pang Xiaonan looked up at Kehan.

"It's equivalent to 1000 years here." Kehan ​​replied lightly.

"What?" Pang Xiaonan obviously couldn't believe his ears, "1000 years?"

"Wait once in a thousand years." Kehan ​​was not surprised by Pang Xiaonan's reaction.

"It's really a myth." Pang Xiaonan shook his head, thinking that his cognition is still far behind, "So, you don't have any idea about the time here."

"As long as you forget time, time is still for you."

"The size of the heart is the size of the time and space. Is this what you mean?"

"That's right, haven't you waited for your black hole yet?"

Kehan ​​looked down at Pang Xiaonan.

"I've been waiting. However, we are different from you. Black holes will not come to us on their own initiative. We must always pay attention to where the black holes appear and take the initiative to pass."

Pang Xiaonan thought it would be great if the black hole could take the initiative to find him, so he wouldn't have to watch over it every day.

"Just don't let your heart be dragged by the black hole." Kehan ​​continued to look up at the sky. "Like me, I don't expect the messenger to come or not. It's fine to go back. There's nothing wrong with being here."

"Could it be that this is the state that your state of mind needs to be transformed into?"

"Yes, if we have such a state of mind, then it means that your transformation is in place. Even if the messenger comes, he will not ask you to go with him. At that time, it is I who need to make a decision."

"Where the heart is, people can settle down wherever they are. This is the most perfect mentality of you Kebra people."

"In Buddhism, this is not called appearance."

"No wonder I see you so much like a Buddha."

"I am the Buddha they say."

Pang Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, then realized that everything was false.

Kehan ​​and Pang Xiaonan told the story of his coming to this spiritual world.

Like the gorillas on Hallelujah, when Kehan ​​came to the spiritual world, the place was deserted, so Kehan ​​was a little lonely, so he created many villains and animals, all of which were modeled on the planet Kebra. made by animals and machines.

These animals slowly passed on from generation to generation and became more and more prosperous, gradually forming the ecology of the spiritual world.

Some people have evolved into intelligent animals. As soon as people are intelligent, they start to worry about themselves, thinking about what to eat and what to play every day.

So Kehan ​​appeared, and he told mankind that all appearances are illusory, and the wisdom of propagating the supreme enlightenment is to learn how to let oneself be free from greed, hatred and ignorance.

Slowly, Khan's teachings spread among human beings. People respected him as a Buddha, and at the same time called his teachings Buddhism. Buddhism gradually became popular and continued to be carried forward. It has become the source of all high wisdom in this world origin.

"So you are really the Buddha..." Pang Xiaonan muttered to himself, and the temperature in his heart began to heat up.

"I'm not really a Buddha yet," Khan replied. "A Buddha is invisible and omnipresent. You can be a Buddha, and all living beings can be a Buddha."

"Brother Monkey, I have a question. I have never figured out whether Buddha and Tao are the same thing."

"Buddha, in fact, is the way of heaven. To put it bluntly, it is the universe, and it is the law of the universe's operation."

"I understand."

After sitting with Kehan ​​for a while, Pang Xiaonan felt enlightened, and stopped staring at the signal in the direction of the black hole, since it came, let it be at ease.

As the night grew darker, Pang Xiaonan stood up and said, "Brother Monkey, then I won't disturb your rest, I'll go first."

"Go." Kehan ​​didn't get up, Pang Xiaonan started the engine and flew into the sky.

Back in Qingfeng Tower, Pang Xiaonan saw that most of the guests had gone back to their rooms to sleep, and there were still a few tables where they were chatting, while Chen Yuannan was settling accounts at the counter.

"Hey, shopkeeper Chen, can you still use an abacus?" Pang Xiaonan saw Chen Yuannan dialing beads in the abacus.

"Don't forget, I have a background in programming, and calculation is of course my specialty." Chen Yuannan raised his head, "How is it, is Master Kehan ​​satisfied with his food?"

"Satisfied!" Pang Xiaonan put the vegetable box on the counter, "I chatted with him very satisfied, hey, you didn't go, that's the real Buddha."

"Where is Liu Rushi? She really doesn't care about Qingfeng Tower?" Pang Xiaonan wanted to guard the counter, so it should be Liu Rushi and Chen Yuannan who guarded it together.

"She's upstairs with Jing Xin." Chen Yuannan estimated the time, "They should all be asleep."

Pang Xiaonan looked at his watch, it was indeed very late, it was already past 10 o'clock, a time when everything was silent in the spiritual world.

When time travel came, Pang Xiaonan deliberately brought a mechanical watch. When he arrived in the spiritual world, he adjusted the time according to the approximate time. Now he relies on this mechanical watch to check the time.

Pang Xiaonan accompanied Chen Yuannan, and raised another worry, "You said, according to the situation we traveled through before, one day here is equivalent to one year on Hallelujah, so we have been here for many days, how can we go back? Isn't it many years?"

Pang Xiaonan counted in his heart. Speaking of which, they were hurrying here, and it has been almost a week now.

Chen Yuannan stopped the abacus in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and pondered: "If this is the truth, it is true that when we go back, everyone around us will be old."

"It's not just this problem." Pang Xiaonan thought about the situation at Professor Hamilton Cox's side, "The quantum collider is running every day, and black holes are being created every day. If it is true that one day here is equivalent to one year over there If so, is it true that the frequency of appearance of this black hole should be 365 times a day?"

Pang Xiaonan paused, and met Chen Yuannan's eyes, "But we've been waiting for a few days, and we haven't met once?"

Chen Yuannan frowned, "There is another problem, that is, the black hole you traveled to the Hallelujah star is not based on the same principle as the black hole we came from."

Chen Yuannan rubbed his chin, raised his head and thought, "You traveled to the Hallelujah star because of the explosion, but when we came here, it was a black hole made artificially. Could there be a different principle?"

Pang Xiaonan also frowned and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he touched his face and said, "Oh, it's too complicated, so don't think about it. I just listened to the Buddha's lecture. If you are on the edge of a dead end, then all appearances are illusory, all illusory, all illusory..."

Pang Xiaonan went upstairs and came to the corridor, and found that Jingxin was still sitting there.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Pang Xiaonan sat opposite to Jingxin, took a teacup and placed it in front of him.

When it comes to drinking tea in the spiritual world, the most inconvenient thing is to boil water. There is no electric kettle, so you have to use charcoal and firewood to boil water, which is indeed a bit troublesome.

But it is precisely because of the trouble that it seems more ritualistic.

"Where have you been?" Jing Xin waited on the corridor for a long time, and did not see Pang Xiaonan for several hours.

"I'm going to the Zhuhunyuan Forest." Pang Xiaonan lay down on the chair, looking in the direction of the Zhuhunyuan Forest, thinking that he and the Buddha were looking at the same moon.

"Ah, what are you doing there? It's very dangerous there. It took a lot of effort for you to escape last time, right?"

Pang Xiaonan hasn't told Jing Xin what happened in the Falling Soul Abyss Forest yet, Jing Xin naturally doesn't know that there is a Buddha living in it.

"I went to meet an old friend and gave him some food."

Pang Xiaonan told Jingxin that the reason why he was able to rescue someone from the Zhuhunyuan forest last time was because of the help of this old friend.

"The Falling Soul Abyss Forest is the forbidden area of ​​the Falling Soul Abyss. Many disciples of our Baolou who tried to enter the Falling Soul Abyss Forest disappeared. Therefore, we forbid any disciples to approach it."

Jing Xin felt a little sad when he talked about the Zhuhunyuan Forest. He couldn't figure out why Pang Xiaonan could come and go freely. Is it really because of his strength?
"Yes, it's a forbidden area, you'd better not enter it," Pang Xiaonan didn't want to disturb Kehan's life, "Not only the people from Baolou, but even the demon beasts who fell into the abyss of souls know that it is a forbidden area."

"Then you still want to go in?"

"It doesn't matter to me, my friend still has a little right to speak in the Falling Soul Abyss Forest."

Pang Xiaonan passed by easily, and didn't tell Jing Xin the story of Kehan. This secret is the biggest secret in the spiritual world, and it's better not to know about it.

Seeing that she couldn't find anything to ask, Jing Xin got up and said goodbye: "Since you are back, you should rest early. Don't worry about Falling Soul Abyss. I arranged for people to observe the signal in Qingfeng Building."

"Okay, I'm tired, go to sleep, I'll sit down for a while."

After Jingxin left, Pang Xiaonan lay comfortably on the chair, looked at the bright moon, and continued to think about Kehan’s Dharma, where is the heart, where is the home, um, it makes sense...

It has been almost a month since I came to the spiritual practice world, but the black hole has still not been discovered.

Chen Yuannan's work efficiency is very high. He has formulated detailed operating rules for Qingfeng Building. Under his management, the turnover of Qingfeng Building has gradually increased, and it has already tripled.

On this day, Chen Yuannan was settling accounts at the counter, when Liu Rushi walked over gently.

"Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work." Liu Rushi held a bowl of tea and handed it to Chen Yuannan, "This is the ginseng and black-bone chicken soup I stewed for you, drink it while it's hot to nourish your body."

"Thank you." Chen Yuannan smiled and took the small bowl of Dabu soup, and put it next to the abacus.

"Brother Chen, I have something to ask you for advice, do you have time?"

Liu Rushi stared at Chen Yuannan's hands and kept fiddling with his abacus.

Chen Yuannan stopped what he was doing, looked at Liu Rushi and said, "I'm almost done here, you go to the corridor and wait for me, I'll come up as soon as I'm done."

Now Chen Yuannan has reorganized the original team of Qingfenglou, and those who are capable will go. In the current Qingfenglou, he no longer needs to sit in person, and he only occasionally checks the accounts.

It can be said that Qingfeng Building can already operate automatically without Chen Yuannan's control.

In the lazy afternoon, Pang Xiaonan was on the corridor with his eyes slightly closed, lying on the bamboo chair half asleep, while Jingxin was slowly making tea on the side.

Liu Rushi walked to the corridor, came to Jingxin's side, and asked for instructions: "Seventh landlord, I have asked Brother Chen to come here to talk about the operation of Qingfenglou, isn't it convenient?"

There was a smile on the face of the Seventh Master, and he said: "If there is any inconvenience, please sit down."

"Thank you Qizhuzhu," Liu Rushi slightly bowed and motioned, "Let me come."

Liu Rushi took over the task of making tea, and sat quietly to the side.

"Oh, it's a bit decadent these days." Pang Xiaonan said in a daze, and then opened his eyes.

"Aren't you here on vacation? How can you feel decadent?" Jing Xin picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a bite.

"You all have things to do, and I'm really embarrassed that I'm lying here by myself every day."

Pang Xiaonan stretched, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea that Liu Rushi had just poured.

These days, Pang Xiaonan was sitting on this corridor, and the people around him were all busy. In contrast, he was unavoidably uncomfortable.

Liu Rushi was in charge of the big and small affairs of Qingfenglou, and Chen Yuannan helped manage the restaurant business of Qingfenglou. Sometimes he didn't even have time to eat. People from Baolou headquarters often come here.

Only Pang Xiaonan only needs food to open his mouth every day.

If it was before, Pang Xiaonan would have been unable to sit still, but he has been studying Khan's Dharma, so his concentration is much better now, but he finally couldn't help doing nothing all day long.

"Then go and do something for Brother Chen."

Meditation is better than Pang Xiaonan's concentration, otherwise she has been sitting in various sub-helms of Baolou all year round, and she would have been sick long ago.

"No, no, no," Pang Xiaonan waved his hands again and again, "You have to let him play freely. When he does things, we others can't interfere at all, and don't interfere with him, so that he can exert the greatest effect."

Just as he was talking, Chen Yuannan came up, "What are you guys discussing?"

"I'm talking about you, the proprietress of Qingfeng Building praised you, saying that you are wise and martial, and you can make money..."

"Stop coming, you might say something bad about me." Chen Yuannan picked the only vacant seat and sat down, and Liu Rushi quickly put a teacup on it.

"Lord Liu, you just said that you have a question to ask me, what is it?"

Chen Yuannan came to the corridor immediately after finishing the calculation, and when he saw a few people talking and laughing happily, his mood suddenly brightened.

Although the work in Qingfeng Building is nothing to him, but being able to steal half a day's leisure is something that most people can't dream of.

"It's like this, Brother Chen," Liu Rushi stopped his movements and said seriously, "I want to ask you for some tips on how to do business. You see, you have only been here for a month in Qingfenglou. Lou's business has tripled, I can't even think about it..."

Pang Xiaonan interjected: "He's only capable of this, and I think it will be very difficult for him to turn up."

Although Pang Xiaonan didn't know what method Chen Yuannan used to achieve this turnover, but every restaurant has a limit, and the hardware of Xiangqingfeng Building, no matter how to improve the management, it should be at the end.

"I want to ask for advice," Liu Rushi was cut in by Pang Xiaonan, and he couldn't answer back. He thought that three times it would be a great achievement. You Pang Xiaonan didn't do anything, and you are still laughing at others, "Brother Chen, what is this?" How everything is done, I want to learn more from you."

After speaking, Liu Rushi hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Chen Yuannan.

"Yes, Brother Chen, you can teach us. If you leave in the future, we can continue to operate the restaurant according to your method." Jing Xin also helped Liu Rushi speak at the side. If Qingfenglou's business can be stabilized, Then, as Pang Xiaonan said, in the future, Baolou can make money without selling information.

Chen Yuannan took a sip of tea and began to talk about his business experience.

It turns out that because Qingfenglou is only positioned as a sub-ruler of Baolou, its main business is to receive the staff of the master helm and other sub-rudders. It does not regard the restaurant business as a major event to operate, so many management details are careless. It can be said that there is no management at all.

For example, in terms of dishes, Qingfenglou only has a few regular styles, which add up to less than 10 items, and half of them are cold dishes. This means that after the guests come, they basically have nothing to eat.

So who would be willing to eat in Qingfenglou?Many guests would rather live in Qingfeng Building, but go to eat in restaurants run by other nearby farmers, that is, farmhouses, and lose their catering business in vain.

After Chen Yuannan arrived, on the one hand, he stepped up the purchase of local products near Qingfenglou, and made special dishes for the guests staying in Qingfenglou. In this way, the stomachs of the guests were retained.

This one improvement alone has already doubled the turnover.

Another example is the management area. The previous staff, whether they were the waiters on the floor or the chefs in the back kitchen, were paid dead wages. They were dawdling every day. Later, Chen Yuannan set up a reward system. How much did the daily turnover exceed? , Give the guys bonuses, and the bonuses of the first day will be paid the next day.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the guys is greatly improved, the waiters run more diligently, their tone is more friendly and sweet, more and more dishes are sold, and the back kitchen also throws off their shoulders and often gives Chen Yuannan suggested to upgrade those dishes, where are the good ingredients.

With everyone's joint efforts, Qingfeng Building's performance is naturally getting higher and higher.

Another point is the launch of night snacks, which almost pushed Qingfenglou's business to a climax.

"I know this!" Pang Xiaonan volunteered to raise his hand, "If you talk about the supper business, it's really too profitable. Many people don't want to spend money on dinner, but as long as you have a happy nightlife, no matter how much money you spend Yes, are you drunk anyway, it doesn't hurt to spend money!"

"That's right, what Xiao Nan said is right," Chen Yuannan nodded, "The supper business can double the original turnover. It's just opened, and it will become more and more profitable in the future."

The supper business has also indirectly enhanced the reputation of Qingfenglou, and will attract more and more guests to Qingfengzhai, where Qingfenglou is located, for vacations, or to spend the night. Once this sign is resounding, it will not only benefit the Qingfenglou family, Even the surrounding farmers will get the economic vitality brought by popularity.

Liu Rushi listened very seriously, she never thought that a restaurant business could have so many ways in it.

Meditation is also concentration. Chen Yuannan's business philosophy is knowledge that she has never heard of in her life. It is not only novel, but also has so many incredible mechanisms.

"I sorted out a management manual, and put it in the drawer of the counter," Chen Yuannan said to Liu Rushi, "You can take a look at it when you have time, as long as you follow the regulations above, you Qingfenglou will be fine. business."

"Yeah!" Liu Rushi nodded heavily, "Brother Chen, thank you, I'm going to study right now."

Liu Rushi got up and was about to go downstairs, Chen Yuannan said again, "Wait a minute," he scratched his head, "My handwriting is a bit ugly, if you don't understand, you can ask me about it."

It turns out that there are only brushes in Qingfeng Building. Although Chen Yuannan has practiced brush calligraphy, he does not know whether people in the spiritual world can understand the characters he writes. Moreover, the level of calligraphy is of course inferior to that of people who write with brushes every day. It's been a hundred and eight thousand miles.

Liu Rushi went downstairs, meditating and expressing emotion, "I really want to go to your world with you and experience it. Your ideas are much more advanced than those in the spiritual world."

"Don't worry, next time, when I come over next time, I'll take you there to have a look." Pang Xiaonan wrote a bad check to Jing Xin, giving her some hope.

"By the way, Xiao Nan, have we been here for a month?" Chen Yuannan looked at the clouds and mist in the distance, "This black hole hasn't been opened yet, so I don't know what's going on over there."

"Yeah, I don't know if Professor Hamilton is still here." Pang Xiaonan was also a little confused. If it is really calculated according to the day to year, a month is 30 days, Hallelujah has passed 30 years, Hamilton Even if Professor Kex is not dead, he will be in his eighties or nineties.

"Why don't we go down and wander around too." Chen Yuannan gave a tempting proposal, sitting here every day waiting to die, why not go down and try our luck, maybe the black hole opened in other places.

Pang Xiaonan nodded, "It's time to go down and look around, not only to find the black hole, but there are also many treasures in the Falling Soul Abyss, if we find one or two, it can also strengthen our cultivation base."
