"Yes, there should be dozens of people, but Qiuji Gang has many experts, so they should send experts." For dozens of people, Hu Gui felt that it was almost this number. If there were more, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the government. Although the government will not care about Jianghu affairs, there is a bottom line. The Changchun Escort Bureau is the common people in the city. If the Qiuji Gang openly kills, the government will not care, and there is no face. Therefore, when the Qiuji Gang comes, they will only come quietly, and their number will not be high. Not too much.
"Then there's nothing to worry about. I'm just afraid that the Qiuji gang will make a sudden attack, use poisoning, put hidden weapons and other despicable methods, or intercept your escort team halfway, which will cause trouble." Chen Fan said a little worried.
"That shouldn't happen. After all, the Qiuji Gang is a martial arts sect, not a gangster bandit. We have no life-or-death feud with the Qiuji Gang, so it shouldn't be to the point of destroying our escort agency." Hu Gui said uncertainly.
Hu Gui's words suddenly reminded Chen Fan, "Yes, I was influenced by the Jianghu novels I read before, and subconsciously thought that a gang always fights and kills for the sake of grudges. In fact, a gang is an organization, and all organizations must Survival is inseparable from people and money. The most important thing is people. People are the source of power. With power, the power to make others fear and obey, you can get money, but money may not recruit people with ability. And people who share the same goals as the organization.”
"If you want a person to be able to obey the orders of the organization, then this person's mind should be awe-inspiring, afraid of the prestige of the organization, and grateful for the kindness of the organization, so that he can obey the orders of the organization. And such a person must be cultivated. It will definitely take some time. Therefore, if the Qiuji Gang wants to cultivate killers who only know how to obey, there will not be many such people, and it will not be easy to train them."
"A person who only knows how to kill is afraid of nothing and doesn't follow any morals. Then why would he commit himself to an organization and serve the superiors?"
"What is the essential motivation for fighting? It is to gain power, to gain the power that allows the organization to grow and develop. It can be money or manpower. If you have no purpose and only know how to kill, no matter how strong your ability is, you will inevitably fail. Soon to perish.”
After thinking about this, Chen Fan felt that he had seen the nature of society more clearly, and he was in a good mood. He said in the carriage: "It shouldn't be, and you don't need to worry. The Qiuji Gang may not come to your escort agency." ." After finishing speaking, Chen Fan continued to think about swordsmanship. Only strength is the foundation.
Although they were delayed for some time on the way, Chen Fan and the others still arrived in Danyang before sunset.
In the evening, Chen Fan was standing in the study room of Xiang Yiming's house, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him. This man looks to be in his thirties, has a beard, is tall and slender, and is writing with a brush.
When arriving in Danyang, Chen Fan first came to Xiang Yiming's house. Naturally, he gave a prepared salute and asked to see Xiang Yiming. The others were left in the hall, and Chen Fan was led into the study.
Chen Fan was not in a hurry. When he saw his master writing, he was not in a hurry to disturb him. He bowed silently and stood nearby, waiting for the master to finish writing.
"Oh, that's it." Xiang Yiming wrote several pieces of paper one after another, but he was not very satisfied. He finally stopped writing. Four words "Vicissitudes of Humanity" appeared on the paper. After saying that, he raised his head, looked at Chen Fan, smiled, and said, "Are you here?"
"Yes, come see sir." After saying that, Chen Fan bowed again.
"What were you looking at just now? Why didn't you say anything when you came? I was so absorbed that I didn't notice, so I neglected you." Xiang Yiming smiled slightly and said a little apologetically.
"Looking at the scenery." Chen Fanxin said, just pretend, you won't be able to see me as a big living person. It's probably because I arrived late. I just arrived today. I feel a little dissatisfied and deliberately neglected.
"Landscape? How can I have any scenery here?" Xiang Yiming was stunned, thinking to himself, don't you think of me as a grown man, just some scenery? If your answer dissatisfies me, I will give you some advice.
“Wherever I put down the pen, a little bit of ink light is reflected;
Wherever you swipe, you will leave behind a wealth of knowledge;
The hands are dancing lightly, and the person is like a pine tree, letting the breeze blow on his face, talking about the vicissitudes of the world.
Ask why not let it go?
Answer: The wind and clouds are turbulent, but the dragon and the snake are still, and a grand plan is made.
Regardless of wind or rain,
Better than taking a leisurely stroll in the garden. "
Chen Fan was not showing off his poetry, but saw a poem and painting posted on the wall of the study. The painting was of a person painting on the deep wall of the courtyard. Han bamboos were planted proudly in the courtyard, which caught Chen Fan's attention. It's a little poem next to it:
If you don’t refine elixirs, you don’t practice Zen.
If you are not a merchant, you will not plow the fields.
I paint pictures on the wall,
Don't be afraid of the floating clouds and look at your eyes.
This is a poem about ambition. The first two sentences refer to what the poet did not do, while the last two sentences are of far-reaching significance. They not only say what he has done, but also reveal an ambition that is proud of others. Chen Fan felt it for a moment. When I heard it, I also composed a song.
"Good poetry, why not the vicissitudes of human nature?"
"Humanity, in my opinion, is the principle of life and the moral concept of human nature; the way of the world is the new and decline of honor and disgrace in the world, and the renewal and replacement of dynasties. The two are essentially different."
"What's the difference?" Xiang Yiming's eyes shot out with astonishing light, staring straight at Chen Fan. He felt a storm in his mind, and there was a flash of light, which made people think it was almost an illusion, but Xiang Yiming knew that, The answer is right in front of him, and the person coming today might give him a big surprise.
"The world can change, and changes in the world will bring about the development of humanity. This is a relationship of one first and one last, one cause and one effect."
Chen Fan's voice was neither fast nor slow, warm and clear. To Xiang Yiming's ears, it was like the sound of a great avenue.
"Yes, what troubles me is not humanity, but the way of the world. The first thing I want to think about should not be to change the way of humanity, but to change the way of the world. To use the way of the world to drive changes in humanity, we should not be born in the world, but should enter the world. No wonder Su Qin studied "Yin" After the "Fu Fu", he took up the post of Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms and retreated from the world, but achieved nothing. It turned out that the method was wrong!"
Xiang Yiming only felt a bang in his head, as if something exploded. The bonds that had been lingering in his heart for many years were broken. There was a clear sky. The crystals condensed in the upper dantian shone brightly. It was so bright that the original spherical shape became The spinning spiral body rotates gently.
"This is an advanced step, entering Tongyou." Xiang Yiming was delighted. He had been practicing the "Ziu Wang Sutra" for many years. Unexpectedly, he finally entered Tongyou today.
"Chen Langjun, although you and I meet for the first time today, I feel that we will feel like old friends as soon as we meet you. I won't call you Langjun. How about calling you Fasheng?" Xiang Yiming didn't expect that the young man in front of him could bring him so much love. Such a big surprise came, and I felt grateful for it.
Chen Fan felt that Xiang Yiming in front of him had suddenly changed a lot, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that nothing had changed. He suppressed the curiosity in his heart and said, "I'd like to know more, thank you sir."
"Then how about we talk about a game?" Although the practice of "Qizhao Jing" is slow, the advantage is that there is no danger of going crazy. Advancement is advancement. Unless you are damaged by external forces or your character deteriorates, there will be no practice. Something backwards. For Xiang Yiming, there was no question of continuing to study immediately and consolidate his cultivation. He immediately asked Chen Fan.
"Okay, sir, please give me some advice."
The two sides laid out the chessboard and started playing chess.
Xiang Yiming, who had just advanced in mental strength, thought that he would have no problem winning this game. However, as he continued to play, his brows furrowed, and he gradually fell into a long test, and finally gave up.
"Lang Jun, you seem to be a humble person, but when you play chess, you kill every step and trap everywhere. I didn't expect that your chess skills are so powerful. This time when you go to Kyoto, you can not only test the fourth rank, but also the third rank." Xiang Yi. Ming felt a little emotional for a moment.
"Thank you sir, what are the regulations for the assessment of the fourth grade in Kyoto?"
"The main reason for the assessment above the fourth level is that the last level is different from the previous assessments. It is a two-game chess game, and the master with the third-level chess skill is responsible for it. In the first game, the master will let two pieces. If the tester wins, the third level will be played. In the second game, one piece is given, and if the tester wins or loses within seven points, it will be passed."
"Thank you for your advice, sir." If the outcome of a game of chess is determined, it is quite fair, and Chen Fan feels at ease.
"By the way, Chen Langjun, it's been so long, why don't you ask me about registering for the chess academy test?" Xiang Yiming deliberately didn't mention this matter before playing chess, just to make Chen Fan worry about it when he played chess. , to his surprise, Chen Fan was not moved at all, and he was the one who couldn't hold back his anger.
"Because I believe in you, sir. Somehow, when I see you, I feel that I am destined to meet you. Your husband must have arranged this matter."
"Yes, I have already ordered someone to sign up for you as soon as I see you coming. I was originally going to sign you up for today's assessment, but I didn't expect you to arrive so late and miss the assessment during the day."
"I'm really sorry. Something happened before departure, which delayed the trip for a day."
"It doesn't matter, as long as the people arrive."
"I just heard from my husband that my chess power can reach the third level. I wonder what level your chess power is, sir?"
"I was lucky enough to pass the third-level examination, but now I am addicted to the art of war, and my chess skills are a bit rusty."
"Sir, I am studying the art of war. I wonder what the research object is?" Chen Fan, who had just read "Tai Gong's Art of War", had never heard anyone express his opinions on the art of war, and now he suddenly became interested.
"As the saying goes, culture and military strategy should be the first priority for a country. We should enrich the country and strengthen the army, and prepare for war. But now I am not studying how to make a country strong, but how to make a gang strong."
"Oh, how can the gang use Wen Tao to develop?" Chen Fan, who had just understood the nature of the gang, suddenly paid attention to this issue.
"Gathering money to attract people. In essence, gangs are not much different from the development of a country. They require the accumulation of manpower and material resources to develop and grow. However, the methods are much more radical. If you are interested, take a look at Hatred Just know the development of the Ji Gang, there are definitely capable people in this gang, and they can use Wen Tao very well."
"Oh, sir, are you also concerned about the development of the Qiuji Gang?"
"I had never cared about the development of gangs before, but some time ago someone asked me if the Qiuji Gang would attack the Maoshan faction, which made me care about the Qiuji Gang. This gang used to be just a small and unpopular gang. However, in the past ten years, earth-shaking changes have taken place and it has become the number one gang in Jiangnan. This made me interested. After research, I found that this gang has strict rules and clear division of labor. In every battle, although there are losses, However, they can be replenished afterwards and obtain a lot of property, allowing their power to continue to grow."
