When he came to the town, Chen Ke saw that Old Man Han had extensive connections.
"Old sir, what do you want to do with so much money? Give me ten more taels, and I will do a great job."
Chen Ke was carrying the package and the silver box, and followed Old Man Han, trying to get some more out of Old Man Han's hands.
"No, the old man has too many people to support. Even a penny cannot be spent carelessly."
Old Man Han, carrying a bamboo basket and his long cloth flag, said with a smile.
Chen Ke said: "Why did you say you did this? You won't get anything. I'm not against you doing good deeds, but your good deeds are too great. People should do what they can. You are not a saint and can't save the world."
Chen Ke just felt that Old Man Han had done too much good deeds. He rarely spent the money he earned, and all of it was used to rescue homeless people, not only children, but also some elderly people who were unable to move.
"It's good to be able to save a little bit. I do good deeds without asking for anything in return. I just do it because I feel happy." Old Man Han said with a smile.
Doing good deeds without asking for reward.
Chen Ke somewhat understood how Old Han was feeling. He was simply doing good deeds, not for any fame or gain.
Because of Old Man Han's good deeds, someone in every village has reserved a place for Old Man Han so that he does not have to live in the open air.
"I may do good things, but I can't be like you." Chen Ke felt ashamed. He felt that if he didn't do evil, he was already doing good things.
Old Man Han said: "Everyone wants different things. What I want is just to do good deeds, not a reward for doing good deeds. Many people don't understand, but I saw those homeless children and the old people who couldn't get up. I still feel a little unbearable.”
"Forget it, I don't want those ten taels of yours." Chen Ke shook his head. Although he admired Old Man Han, he couldn't do it to the same extent as Old Man Han.
Everyone has their own way of doing things, and Old Man Han is indeed different.
After dividing the money with Old Man Han, within the five hundred taels, there was the 150 taels promised by Old Man Han before, plus the 70 taels they finally decided on, Chen Ke had already received two hundred and twenty taels.
If you put this money in the countryside, you will become a rich man in the township.
Chen Ke felt that he had received the Heaven-Collapse and Earth-shattering Fist Technique given by Old Man Han, and no longer needed to visit the Immortal Sect to seek invincible Taoism. He followed Old Man Han to make some money, and after the nine-nine-eighty-one day, he became a practitioner. , you can fight back to the capital and seek justice from Ansheng Palace!
For another dozen days, Chen Ke was practicing in his room, while Old Man Han went out to look for business.
Helping people catch thieves, catching traitors, exorcising ghosts, getting rid of demons, whatever he can do, Old Man Han will not refuse anyone who comes.
However, things like ghosts and monsters are hard to come by. Old Man Han has been helping people catch rapes recently. He doesn't have much money, only two hundred coins, so he also took Chen Ke with him.
…
"This is one hundred and eighty cents. I owe the remaining twenty cents first."
The man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He was caught raping and had to pay. He felt aggrieved and wanted to leave twenty coins to teach Chen Ke and Old Man Han a lesson.
Chen Ke clenched his fist and made a banging sound. He said with a sullen face: "Your wife asked us to catch an adulterer for two hundred yuan. If you don't give it, then I can only go to your house to get it in person. But How much you take depends on our mood."
"I'll give it, I'll give it!" the man said quickly. None of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings in his house were worth more than 200 yuan. These two people were really greedy for money.
"Thank you."
Chen Ke took the money and gave it ten cents to Old Man Han, and the two left the yard.
The man wanted to cry but had no tears: "What is this? If you catch me cheating and ask me to give you money, you two will... make a fortune!"
The man finally gave up. It was Chen Ke who turned around and glanced at him. He thought that Chen Ke heard his whisper, so he quickly put on a smile that was uglier than crying.
Chen Ke looked back at the man and felt that he was also unlucky. He was a fierce woman in the family. She was caught stealing food and had to pay for it after being beaten.
A few more days passed.
Chen Ke counted the days. He had been practicing for forty-nine days. He felt a kind of warmth all over his body. He even felt something that he had never felt before in his body, like a special breathing thing. Open in the body.
"It's Dantian, the divine Dantian of the three acupoints of Dantian in the Qi Refining Realm!"
Chen Ke's eyes lit up. As long as he controlled this warm current and rushed into his Dantian, he could break through the mortal body and become a practitioner.
A true practitioner, not a "half-immortal" like him who practices breathing and breathing every day.
Holding back the excitement of becoming a practitioner, Chen Ke continued to breathe and exhale. The teacher said that to walk the invincible path, it takes ninety-nine and eighty-one days, not seven, seventy-nine.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ke finished practicing again, then silently recited the Taoist scriptures and started practicing again.
A long river with sparkling waves, the late autumn wind blew by, and the bank was already covered with withered yellow grass leaves.
Old Man Han looked at Chen Ke sitting cross-legged on the boat with a look of surprise on his face.
"You are really different!"
Although Old Man Han is not a practitioner, he has also practiced some Taoist techniques related to practitioners and has seen practitioners. The changes in Chen Ke are very obvious.
What made Old Man Han feel the most different was that Chen Ke's temperament had changed, from the ordinary temperament of a young man before to a sense of detachment.
Old Man Han knew that this was the result of refining spiritual power into his body.
Chen Ke said: "What's different?"
After Chen Ke's forty-ninth day of practice last night, he had broken through the first layer of obstacles. As long as he wanted to, he could break through the shackles of the body's Dantian and become a true practitioner.
Clogged spiritual veins are no longer a problem!
However, Old Man Han could see Chen Ke's changes, which surprised Chen Ke. Chen Ke knew that Old Man Han was an ordinary person, but he could actually see the transformation of the practitioners, and there was indeed some Taoism.
"I don't know, but you definitely have a special change. It's a pity that my strength is low and I can't understand it." Old Man Han shook his head and smiled.
The older of the two boatmen resting at the stern of the boat said, "This young master looks extraordinary in appearance, and his bearing far exceeds those of us who have strong feet. He is not an ordinary noble gentleman."
Chen Ke smiled and said: "I'm just a country boy. My father-in-law, don't praise me, it will make me proud."
"Hahaha, the young master's speech is really interesting." The old man who was rowing the boat said with a smile.
Old Man Han asked his father-in-law who was rowing the boat: "At the current speed, when can we get to Xizhou Mansion?"
The old man who was rowing the boat thought for a moment and said: "It is almost winter now, and the wind is stronger from the north and west. It will take another three days to arrive."
Old Man Han said: "Hurry up then, if it's late, I'm afraid our guests will be impatient."
The old man rowing the boat smiled and said, "Guests, don't worry, our boat is big and we can make it in time."
Xizhou Mansion is more than 1,800 miles away from the border with the capital. Old Man Han took over a big deal this time, which shocked Chen Ke a little.
Help the demon catch the traitor!
Chen Ke was dumbfounded after hearing this. These days, demons also start to catch rapes?
Chen Ke and Old Man Han have been together for almost a month, and the two of them can be considered happy to cooperate, but helping a demon catch a traitor is something Chen Ke has never done before, and he doesn't want to go into this muddy water.
However, Chen Ke and Old Man Han finally agreed to help the demon catch the traitor. It was not the other party that threatened Chen Ke and the two, but the money the other party gave... too much!
Five hundred taels!
If it was money, Chen Ke really didn't want to take the deal. The business of monsters and ghosts is really not easy to do. Once there is a mistake, life and death will change, and your own life will be involved.
But five hundred taels of gold.
Chen Ke and Old Man Han couldn't help it anymore. It was settled directly, and then the two of them rushed from the border of the capital to Xizhou Mansion.
There are continuous mountains and rivers along the way, and it is difficult to catch up by walking. It is faster to take a boat.
Along the way, Chen Ke had nothing to do and sat on the boat to practice. After the forty-ninth day of practice, Chen Ke was able to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth he breathed into the spiritual power in his body.
It's just that Chen Ke doesn't have a dantian and can't store spiritual power. Originally, the spiritual veins could also store some spiritual power gained through cultivation, but Chen Ke's spiritual veins were blocked and he could not store the spiritual power.
Chen Ke could only practice and let the spiritual power be wasted from the body. Only when Chen Ke practiced the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cross-legged, Old Man Han felt that Chen Ke had changed a lot.
Two days later.
Late at night, Chen Ke and Old Man Han were woken up.
The boatman said to them: "The two guests have arrived at Xizhou Mansion."
"Thank you." Old Man Han took out five hundred coins and handed it to the boatman.
This was a passenger ship, and it was originally not very fast, but Chen Ke and Old Man Han increased the price, so the boatman boss summoned many young boatmen to help.
Chen Ke also took out five hundred coins from his arms and gave them to the boatman.
The boatman smiled and sent Chen Ke and Old Man Han off the boat, saying that he could give them instructions if necessary in the future.
The ferry is desolate, with only one trestle. It had been in disrepair for a long time, and a lot of the wooden boards on the trestle had fallen off. Chen Ke and Old Man Han walked carefully and landed on the shore.
In the endless dark night, Chen Ke said helplessly: "I can only sleep in the wild."
Old Man Han smiled and said: "Brother, forget what I said. As long as I am here, we will not be able to sleep in the wild."
Chen Ke looked at Old Man Han with some surprise: "Do you have someone to adopt in Xizhou Mansion, thousands of miles away?"
Old Man Han smiled and nodded: "That's natural, just go with me."
Chen Ke admired Old Man Han very much at this moment. He asked: "Are there poor people adopted by you from all over the Zhao Kingdom?"
Old Man Han smiled and said: "Isn't that true? Apart from the surrounding areas of the capital, that is, there are people I adopt in the west of the capital. I travel between the western boundary and the capital every year. If I see it at any time, I will help build a small house. The village adopts them.”
"Awesome, Old Man Han, I think you are really the most benevolent person in the world." Chen Ke said with admiration.
Old Man Han smiled and said: "I'm used to it. It doesn't matter to me whether I'm kind or not, and my ranking is of no use to me. Now that I'm older, I don't know how long I can do it."
Chen Ke smiled and said, "Is this why you risk your life to interfere with the monster's feelings?"
Old Man Han smiled sheepishly after hearing this: "If I were alone, I wouldn't dare, but with you, I feel more at ease."
