Dao Fruit

Behind the nurse, another person turned around and walked into the side door to notify the concierge. The concierge looked over, quickly retracted his neck, and rushed into the hospital, apparently to inform the owner of the mansion.

The whole process was very fast, and with the division of labor and cooperation, it seemed that they were well-trained, which was very different from the people Qiu Yan had seen before.

"Master Qiu, you are here." At this time, the nursing staff who came to greet him also arrived.

This distance allowed Qiu Yan to feel the aura more clearly, capture some changes in reality and reality from the nurse, and feel a sense of familiarity in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Qiu Yan's mind showed the figures of the Yuxu Dao people, and then thought of the fight between the Yuxu Dao people and Chen Yun in the Eastern Capital.

"The Chen family has quite a secret, and there may be a story behind it."

Sighing secretly, Qiu Yan met with the guardian and then asked about something.

The nurse replied: "I know that your Excellency is coming. Everyone in the Chen family has seen your portrait, so they can recognize him at a glance."

Qiu Yan was slightly surprised by these words. He did not expect that Chen Mansion would mobilize troops and mobilize people like this.

With a "crunch", the red-painted main door was opened, and a dignified middle-aged man led several people to greet him. Chen Jing and Chen Yun were among them, but both of them had serious faces at this time. But when he saw Qiu Yan, his eyes changed slightly.

The middle-aged man came to Qiu Yan and saluted respectfully: "I, Chen Bozheng, have met Mr. Qiu."

"Chen Bozheng?"

This name is both unfamiliar and familiar to Qiu Yan. It is unfamiliar because he has no connection with the owner of this name, but familiar because this person is the head of the Chen family and is well-known in the streets!

A family like the Chen family has huge power, with the capital city being the main branch. The family members are spread all over Dali, each performing their own duties. Some are officials and some are doing business. Some are farmers, but the head of the family holds great power, presides over the ancestral hall to worship ancestors, and can delete or add to the genealogy list. Regardless of the status, power, and financial resources of other clan members, they will eventually be restricted.

Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about Qiu Yan’s good friend Zhang Zhen. Behind the scenes, the Zhang family was founded by ancestral Meng, and now they are mainly engaged in business. However, the selection of the successor to the head of the family still requires open and covert fighting, even Qi Jiulian, who is in Xingjing. They were all introduced as foreign aid, and only then did Qiu Yan get to know him.

This shows the power of the family leader.

But now, the head of a wealthy family like the Chen family actually came out to greet him in person, calling him sir. This immediately shocked several passers-by on the roadside, and even several nursing staff looked shocked. It's worse than the road people.

Although the nursing home was informed that a distinguished guest was coming, they did not expect that the head of the family would greet him in person, and his behavior would be respectful and courteous, which was completely different from his usual image!

"Mr. Qiu, please come this way."

Amid the horror of passers-by and the guards, Chen Bozheng led Qiu Yan into the main entrance and into the Chen Mansion.

Wait until everyone can enter the door. Several passers-by came to their senses and asked each other who the person who was greeted by Chen Bozheng personally was.

"Chen Bozheng calls him Mr. Qiu. I think this person's surname is Qiu."

"This man is too young. Why would Uncle Chen treat him like this? If I remember correctly, this is the head of the Chen family. But he hasn't appeared in public for some years."

"I remember! He is the champion this time! Qiu Yan!"

"I see, there is nothing wrong with being called Mr. Qiu. The number one scholar is the reincarnation of the stars in the sky!"

…

Most of the passers-by are ordinary people. They didn't know much about the court situation, so they used their own knowledge to guess what the big families were thinking. In their eyes, the number one scholar was a great figure, so they naturally felt that for the big families, the number one scholar was also of great significance, and they needed to Welcome with generous gifts.

However, the nurse who was familiar with the affairs of the Chen family knew that it was unusual and looked at each other in confusion.

………………

But Qiu Yan walked into the Chen Mansion and was led by Chen Bozheng, walking through the corridor of the inner courtyard, walking towards the back house without stopping.

Chen Bozheng didn't explain, and Qiu Yan didn't ask any questions. He just walked forward like this. When he reached the depths of Chen's mansion, a single courtyard appeared in front of him. The former stopped and turned around and said, "Except for Jing'er and Yun'er, everyone else should retreat. ”

"Yes." Everyone took the order and left.

Chen Bozheng looked at Qiu Yan again and said, "Mr. Qiu, this is the ancestor of our family who invites you here. You must know something about it. Please come in."

He said the word "please", but he didn't make any move.

Qiu Yan did not hesitate and stepped into the independent courtyard.

In terms of layout, the location of the central courtyard of the mansion is very strange. It is located deep in the courtyard, but it is not a back room. It seems that it was deliberately separated to distinguish it from other places.

There was nothing special about the courtyard, just like the courtyard of an ordinary home. There were two broken wooden chairs placed in the corner of the courtyard.

At this time, Chen Jing's voice came from behind: "Brother Qiu, I have thought about what it will be like when I see you again, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

He and Chen Yun also walked into the courtyard, but Chen Bozheng turned and left.

"Qiu also didn't expect that he would meet Brother Chen here again." Qiu Yan turned around and looked at the two of them.

He didn't have a close friendship with Chen Jing. They met when Chen Jing and Lin Jue followed Zhen Zhizuo to Sichuan to welcome Qiu Yan, but it was just a casual friendship. It wasn't until later that the other party invited Qiu Yan to the underground Sage Hall, where they each got what they needed and shared their needs. Only when you enter the academy can you become more familiar with it.

However, in Shilin, the two of them had their own encounters. Qiu Yan finally stepped into the dark side of Shilin. He no longer understood what Chen Jing had experienced, let alone how the other party recovered from Shilin.

In addition, after Qiu Yan returned from Shilin, he was separated from Chen Jing's physical body due to Yu Xu Dao's attack. In the end, he rescued Chen Yun by mistake and left him to farm and study outside Dongdu City.

Because of this, the friendship between Qiu Yan and Chen Yun has become deeper.

"Brother Qiu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but we have to look at each other with admiration." Chen Yun came over to greet him, and the two reminisced about old times and talked about topics such as the imperial examination, number one scholar, and visions.

During the conversation, Qiu Yan noticed that Chen Yun's face was rosy and he was full of energy, so he congratulated him: "Brother Chen has recovered his cultivation so quickly, and it cannot be broken or established. The day of improvement is not far away."

Chen Yun said nervously: "This is because of Brother Qiu's glory. After you shined in the imperial examination, my family knew that I was familiar with you, so they gave me pills and resources to restore my cultivation."

Chen Yun is not a direct descendant of the Chen family. During the battle with Yu Xu Dao, in order to protect Chen Jing and Tao Ying, he used the method of overdrafting his cultivation base, which caused his cultivation level to decline. According to his status, it would have been difficult to replenish it, but now because of The relationship with Qiu Yan has gained unexpected benefits.

Chen Yun added: "More than that, this courtyard is a forbidden area in the family. If it weren't for Brother Qiu's relationship, it would be impossible for us to enter."

Chen Jing nodded: "Yes, before Jiazu woke up, the head of the family arranged for the two of us to talk to Brother Qiu. I hope you don't blame the Chen family for not providing good hospitality."

Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "Since Qiu came to Xingjing, only the Chen family has been the most considerate in etiquette."

"Is there such a thing? Others are really ignorant." Chen Jing sighed, with a smile on his face, "By the way, there is something that Brother Qiu should pay attention to. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's not directly related, but the master of Jiuyun Zhai sent someone to ask, he..." As he was talking, Qiu Yan also wanted to listen, but his heartstrings suddenly twitched, and he looked towards the small room in the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, a breeze blew, and the figures of Chen Jing and Chen Yun suddenly lengthened, and then disappeared. The ground and walls around them twisted and changed rapidly, but Qiu Yan was still focused, and the distortion suddenly disappeared, as if a dream was broken, but The surrounding scene changed. He was no longer standing in the courtyard, but in a dark, closed room.

The room was sparsely furnished, but it was well-equipped with tables and chairs. There was also a wooden bed inside. There was a person slowly getting up on the bed. It was the ancestor of the Chen family who had a close relationship with him. Beside him, there were several external demons flying around. No shying away.

Qiu Yan's pupils suddenly dilated, then contracted. He adjusted to the dim light in the room, and then said: "Senior, we meet again. However, there is something that junior is quite confused about. I hope it can be clarified."

The ancestor of the Chen family sat down and said with a smile: "You want to ask me why you can use magical powers in Xingjing City?"

"good."

"When you get to that point, you will naturally understand it, or you may stay in Xingjing for a few more years and know the rules. Magical power is just to interfere with the world with your own power. Sometimes you might as well put aside the magical power and just look at people's hearts." When the ancestor of the Chen family spoke, he opened his palms, and the external demons fell into his hands and gathered together, then stretched, like a curtain, showing a plain scene, with several armies fighting in the wilderness!

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Senior has indeed discovered the external demon in everyone's hearts, but since he has taken away the military miscellaneous notes, why should he leave the external demon in our hearts again?"

"This external demon is both a devil and an opportunity."

The ancestor of the Chen family opened his mouth and inhaled, and the curtain melted at the entrance, and continued: "Taking away the military journals is because the matter is of great importance and you are unable to protect it. It is not to cut off other people's opportunities, to cut off other people's opportunities, the cause and effect is too great, I can't Dare to take it, don’t say anything else, just say you, kid, these days, there have been storms in Xingjing, and visions have appeared one after another, even the gods have been alarmed. If I cut off your chance to be connected with these things, I will lead the way. In the end, I’m afraid I won’t have anywhere to cry, so how can I live forever?”

"Huh?" Qiu Yan's heart strings twitched, and he felt that there was a profound meaning in his words. He was about to comprehend it, but out of the blue, the ancestor of the Chen family said again: "You kid, you are not an economical lamp in the world of military strategists. , Not only do you want to visualize the city, but now you have to lay traps, and you want to catch all the major enemies in one fell swoop. However, don’t just focus on the traps in the military world and ignore the traps in this world. "

After taking the imperial examination, Qiu Yan still fell asleep every night, conquering the world of military strategists. In recent days, he had laid out an overall plan and prepared to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, but he was interrupted by the old man.

Qiu Yan was not surprised, but asked: "Senior is referring to the discussion about Tao that the master of Jiuyun Zhai said?"

"Huh? So you've discovered it!" The ancestor of the Chen family nodded, which was regarded as recognition.

When Qiu Yan saw it, his eyes showed a cold light and he smiled and said: "Since someone has set up a stage for Qiu, how can we miss it?"
