Dao Fruit

"Master Hou, you are here..."

Outside the workshop, several groups of soldiers and horses were patrolling back and forth. When they saw Qiu Yan coming, they came over immediately and performed military salutes. ←

After Qiu Yan nodded, someone led him in. However, when passing the workshop gate, Qiu Yan still took out the token token and corrected the password before entering.

These secret codes change in half a day, are conveyed by the method of earth veins, and are generated through special books and special arrangements in order to prevent impersonation.

You must know that in this world, even if you don't use extraordinary magical powers, you can change your appearance to a certain extent just by changing your muscles, bones, flesh and blood. Naturally, you must take precautions, so you must take several layers of protection.

In fact, these slogans and tokens are only superficial. They are designed to confuse people and make them think that they are using this method to distinguish others. If they want to impersonate, they have to start from this aspect. However, everyone knows , this workshop itself was built by Qiu Yan in order to research and promote mechanism techniques. What is really used to distinguish visitors are actually the mechanisms hidden in the land and buildings.

Hoo ho ho!

After walking a few steps, waves of heat blew in, blowing up Qiu Yan's robes. The heat wave rolled like white mist, and its source was a wooden shed building nearby. It looked simple, like a huge warehouse. There are small gaps around the shack. Judging from the spacing, it can be seen that they are deliberately arranged.

At this time, thick white mist was pouring out from inside, accompanied by waves of heat.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan nodded and said to the people around him: "It seems that the Fengqiu Alliance has already been put into use."

The man listened and responded: "With the help of the Chen family, it is indeed twice the result with half the effort. Originally, the Chen family had several large workshops around the capital, where they built Daxing's blower machinery and had rich experience. With their guidance, Fengqiu was quickly established.”

"That's good." Qiu Yan nodded and did not enter the shed, but through the layers of wooden boards, he heard the knocking sounds inside and knew that the craftsmen were beating the fine iron with the help of the fire.

Qiu Yan asked again: "Are the Chen family members here?"

The man replied: "It's already here. When the Marquis came in, I sent someone to notify him. This meeting should be coming soon."

As if to confirm his words. As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps coming from the front. Qiu Yan raised his eyes and saw Chen Yun's face.

"Master Hou, it's been a long time." When he saw Qiu Yan, Chen Yun's much more mature face showed joy and he clasped his fists in salute.

This person has a close relationship with Qiu Yan. Qiu Yan relied on Chen Jing's help back then. Entering Shilin from the abandoned Saint Hall, Chen Yun, as a collateral member of the Chen family, was responsible for guarding the outside.

Later, the people who controlled the Xu Dao attacked, and Chen Yun was seriously injured. He almost collapsed, but because of Qiu Yan's rise later, his friendship with Qiu Yan became the foundation for him to settle down in the Chen family. He rose up and gained a say in the Chen family.

Now, this former collateral disciple. The demeanor is obviously different. He wears a large cloak, has a calm expression, and has a beard on his face. He has a majestic look. When facing Qiu Yan, Knowledge still shows due humility.

Qiu Yan was not surprised when he met Chen Yun. The two walked in the workshop one after another. When asked about the Chen family's help, Qiu Yan thanked him, while Chen Yun declined repeatedly: "The national crisis is at the forefront. How can I, the Chen family, stay out of this matter?"

Then they talked about the Fengqiu and blower machines that came to support, and Chen Yun said: "There are several workshops in the nearby Chen family that are driven by magical powers. It's just that around the capital, the dragon energy and the will of the city suppress it. That magical power It has declined, but there are still residues in the end, so it is often more effective with half the effort, but there are still limitations. It was not until Lord Marquis last month that you took the key catalog of the mechanism and revised it, and finally got rid of the dependence on external magical powers. "

There was pride in the Chen family and admiration for Qiu Yan in his words.

"So that's it. It seems that the help of your Chen family will be indispensable when this workshop expands." Qiu Yan nodded, and the two of them walked to the center of the workshop building. Here is It was an empty place, but filled with various utensils, many of which were made of fine iron, but scattered everywhere, attracting Chen Yun's attention.

He noticed that among these scattered objects, the small ones were as long as an arm, while the large ones were as big as a room. They looked dark and gave rise to an invisible pressure.

Just as Chen Yun was guessing the mystery behind this object, Qiu Yan's voice came over again——

"When I leave the capital, this workshop will definitely be remembered by some people, and someone will try to win over the Chen family. But since you agreed to me today, you can't let the Chen family waver."

As soon as he said this, Chen Yun immediately became excited and drove away all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"Master Marquis, are you leaving the capital?" Chen Yun asked, but many thoughts suddenly came to his mind, thinking about the intention of Qiu Yan's words, why he wanted to leave the capital, and what happened as a result. The influences are numerous and complex.

But in the end, his thoughts were focused on Qiu Yan's instructions to the Chen family, and he suddenly broke into cold sweat.

"Yes, in the past two years, I have been sitting in the capital, sorting out the yin and yang of the country, and the connections between people's hearts, and it has begun to show miraculous results. However, some things have not been eliminated, but hidden, so I left the capital this time. It stirred up a lot of trouble, but that's why it makes sense." When Qiu Yan spoke, he glanced at Chen Yun, whose expression suddenly changed.

"So that's it." Chen Yun nodded, then lowered his voice, "However, I don't want to hide it from the Marquis. Although I have some status and status in the Chen family, after all, there are still major direct sects in the Chen family. They The power is so great that I can’t handle it.”

"I know that big families like you like to bet in multiple ways, and you won't put all your eggs in one basket." Qiu Yan was not surprised, "It's just that no matter how scattered they are, you still can't escape the entire continent. It’s useless no matter where you put it. Your ancestor should know this very well, so don’t worry about not being able to make the decision.”

What he said was not completely clear, but Chen Yun did not ask further questions and just nodded in agreement. Today is different from the past. Even though Qiu Yan's tone was still calm, Chen Yun did not dare to take it lightly. Every word Qiu Yan said , he has to taste it again and again, trying to find the true meaning behind it.

After saying this, Qiu Yan smiled slightly, sweeping away the increasingly heavy atmosphere, and listened to him: "Chen Jing, have you returned recently?"

Chen Yun shook his head and said: "No, after he returned from Shilin, he seemed to have some insights. He traveled around the world and there was no news for a long time."

"Oh? This is a thoughtful person, and his achievements may be passed down to future generations." As he spoke, Qiu Yan looked directly at Chen Yun and said with a hint of admonishment, "However, Brother Chen, your current state of mind is not the same as back then. It’s the same. Too many things and too many distracting thoughts are detrimental to the path of spiritual practice. If things go on like this, you will definitely stop moving forward.”

After hearing this, Chen Yun sighed, shook his head and said: "I don't deserve to be called such by the Marquis. As for my future achievements, I can't force them. My background is limited, and it is fate that I have come to this point. If it weren't for the noble help of the Marquis, I would not be able to do it." He has been reduced to a useless person and can only live on the edge. Now that there is a turning point, he is increasingly unable to control himself. After all, he is not a direct descendant. " He said, bowing to Qiu Yan again, with a bitter tone in his words.

"Direct lineage, origin," Qiu Yan chewed on a few words and shook his head, "These things, even thousands of years later, I am afraid they cannot really change, because people are human after all, but your status and status today, It is also something that many people can only hope for, and who can explain these things clearly?”

This workshop is one of the core areas of Qiu Yan's next plan. Now that he has roped in the Chen family, he has finished explaining what needs to be explained. He will soon leave this place and return to the political hall.

That night, he met three of his disciples at Qiu Mansion.

The three disciples returned from Shilin and each had gained something. When they were talking to Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan clearly noticed that these three disciples had different understandings of knowing and doing.

"Three-shift still see, speak straightforwardly, see something, observe it, and get the truth from it. If you know a certain truth, you will try to implement it to confirm it. It seems to be the most common, but it is also the most unusual. It’s easy because I don’t have any intention of taking shortcuts. I pay attention to everything around me and it takes a lot of effort.”

"Sun Xun is good at thinking and takes thinking as the foundation of action. He may calculate countless possible things in one thought, but in the end he will choose the most subtle and useful one."

"As for Wu Meng, it is the other extreme. He regards the way of knowing and doing as martial arts training and martial arts, which acts on himself, and he also regards himself as a tool to verify the theory. He often calms down after doing something. , then think about the truth inside and learn to reflect.”

After a conversation, Qiu Yan vaguely saw three roads from the three of them. The roads were different, some were long, some were twists and turns, some were strange, and each had its own advantages and disadvantages, but he did not intend to cut off any of them. Which path, but try to help the three disciples perfect it.

During their trip to Shilin, they experienced many things, especially in the last six months. The three disciples could be said to have been bathed in blood and blood. Their moods changed greatly and many questions arose. Now that they were asked one by one, Qiu Yan answered them all. There are actually four bodies, penetrating Yin and Yang, clearly seeing the past and present, pervading the starry sky, and staying up and down all night long. This kind of insight is transformed into knowledge and principles, and it explains the problems that the three disciples have been puzzled by. benefit.

The time for master-disciple Q\u0026A was short, but its impact on future generations was very significant. Just three days later, Qiu Yan was on his way, accompanied only by Sun Xun and Wu Meng. Zheng Yun and Meng Sanyi stayed behind. In the capital, he presides over Zhixing Academy. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
