Xiang Yiming's words suddenly made Chen Fan interested. Developing and strengthening himself in battle is the meaning of battle. If he can see through this, Xiang Yiming in front of him is definitely a talent.
"How do you judge the fight between the Qiuji Gang and the Maoshan Clan, sir?" Chen Fan asked with a sophisticated mind.
"The Qiuji Gang will definitely carry out a beheading operation against the Maoshan Faction. The superficial friction and fighting are just a cover to paralyze the top leaders of the Maoshan Faction, making them think that the fight will only stay in a battle of victory and defeat. In fact, the Qiuji Gang Find high-level figures who are willing to cooperate with the gang, put them on stage as puppets, and assassinate those high-level figures who are unwilling to cooperate with the Qiuji Gang to achieve the purpose of controlling the faction."
"What does the Maoshan Sect have that the Qiuji Gang covets?"
"Land, population, wealth, Taoism, these are all what the Qiuji Gang wants. The Maoshan Sect is located in a difficult terrain and controls the nine peaks of Huishan Mountain. The total area is more than 1,000 hectares, and there are more than 2,000 Taoist priests alone. In addition to the more than 3,000 farmers affiliated to the Taoist temple, if they are organized, they can have four to five thousand elite soldiers. The money and secrets in the Taoist temple are what they covet. If they fall into the hands of Qiuji's helpers, then Qiuji will This gang is not the number one gang in the south of the Yangtze River, but the number one gang in the world. The question is, how can the Qiuji Gang not be moved?"
"Can the Qiuji Gang survive?" It's not that Chen Fan underestimates the Qiuji Gang, but Chen Fan feels that the Maoshan Sect has a profound foundation that cannot be shaken by ordinary circumstances.
"Of course force will not work, but in the past ten years, the Qiuji Gang has used the small to defeat the large and the weak to overcome the strong. There are countless examples. They are good at raids, assassinations, divisions, and wooing. This time, they suddenly escalated the conflict with the Maoshan faction. They must have found a partner within the Maoshan Sect, and I even suspect that the disciple Yunxu that the Maoshan Sect accepted two years ago is probably an undercover agent of the Qiuji Gang, but this is just my guess and there is no evidence."
Chen Fan felt something in his heart after hearing this and wrote down the name Yunxu. From Chen Fan's point of view, he naturally did not want the Qiuji Gang to succeed. This was not because he and the Maoshan Sect belonged to the same Taoist sect, but because in Chen Fan's eyes, The Qiuji Gang is extremely aggressive, and the gang leader Wang Quan is very ambitious, which may be the source of future troubles and may conflict with his future development. Chen Fan looked at Xiang Yiming in front of him and thought in his mind: "If I can control Qingfeng Hall in the future, it would be a good choice to ask Xiang Yiming to manage it. Unfortunately, the power in my hands is too weak at the moment. It’s not realistic to come here and join him, we can only wait until later.”
"Mr. Nayi, when will the Qiuji Gang take action?" Chen Fan temporarily suppressed the idea of asking this man for help and asked a more difficult question.
The answer to this question requires not only being able to grasp the current situation, but also having an understanding of human nature. Some people like to take risks and will strike suddenly when unexpected circumstances arise; some people like stability and will strike out when the time is right. Before taking action, if you want to know the enemy's opportunity, you need to find clues from the clues to make an accurate judgment.
"I can only say that there will be a deadlock in the past year, and there will be no major actions. We need to look at it later." Xiang Yiming frowned and thought for a moment.
"The situation is changing rapidly. It is very rare for you, sir, to be able to judge that the Qiu Ji Gang will not make any big moves within a year." Seeing that although Xiang Yiming answered this question, his face was still frowning, showing a thoughtful look, Chen Fan couldn't help but He spoke comfortingly.
"Fa Sheng doesn't know. Just when you asked me when the Qiuji Gang would take action, I suddenly thought of a strange thing, which is why the Qiuji Gang would make such a big fuss with the Maoshan Faction. Logically speaking, the Qiuji Gang has always The style is to attack suddenly and catch the opponent off guard. This time, the Maoshan faction snatched the disciple of the Qiuji gang leader's royal power, which made almost everyone known. This is not in line with the usual style of the Qiuji gang. What's even more strange is that although at present, They fought fiercely with the Maoshan sect, but there was no major conflict between the two sides, and the Qiuji Gang only attacked some low-level disciples, ordinary gang members, and none of the real masters were touched. The purpose of the Qiuji Gang was to do this What is it?"
Xiang Yiming didn't expect Chen Fan to answer this question, he just expressed his doubts.
Chen Fan thought for a while and said: "There are no more than three purposes. One is to attract the attention of the enemies of the Maoshan Sect, so that the enemies of the Maoshan Sect can contact him and jointly deal with the Maoshan Sect; the other is to paralyze his potential opponents and concentrate on them. The elites raid the opponent; the third is to design to let people who really want to deal with it enter the game, which may have joined forces with the Maoshan faction, or it may be a separate plan, it depends on the specific situation and analysis."
After hearing Chen Fan's words, Xiang Yiming was obviously stunned for a moment, stopped thinking, looked at Chen Fan and said, "Fasheng is interested in the Qiu Ji Gang?" He was a little surprised that Chen Fan's analysis was completely unlike that of a fledgling teenager. In other words, it looks like an old Jianghu.
"No, I just saw your husband thinking about the Qiuji Gang and estimated some possibilities. I don't know whether they were correct or not, which made him laugh." Chen Fan suddenly felt that the issues he discussed when he met Xiang Yiming for the first time were a bit profound. He immediately suppressed his interest in the Qiuji Gang and said calmly.
"Oh, for a young man like you, it's best not to get involved in the affairs of the world. Your chess skills are good. Trying to be recommended as an official in the future is the right path."
"Thank you for your advice, sir." Although Chen Fan was a little unimpressed, in Chen Fan's view, no matter the world, the world or the court, it is the source of strength, but the reason why the other party met for the first time was because of Sincerity, remind yourself, you must accept this kindness.
"No, this can't be said to be any advice. It's just that you came today and brought me a lot of gains. I have a book here for you." After saying that, Xiang Yiming stood up and took out a book from the cupboard. The yellow silk book was handed to Chen Fan.
"The Grand Duke's Conspiracy!" Chen Fan took it and couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the title on the silk book. It’s not that Chen Fan is out of character, it’s just that this book is so famous. It also has another name called “Tai Gong Yin Fu”. Together with the “Book of Changes” and the “Tao Te Ching”, this book is one of the three great wonders of ancient China. There are endless legends about this book, and the one that excites Chen Fan the most is that it is said that this book hides the secrets of heaven and earth. It talks about Tao, Dharma, Heaven, Nature, and Man. "Heaven sends murderous intentions, moves stars Easy to stay; the earth sends out murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise from the land; people send out murderous intentions, and the heaven and earth turn upside down." It comes from this book. Unfortunately, this book has been lost in modern times. I didn't expect to see it in Xiang Yiming.
"Yes, it is this book. Together with "Tai Gong's Golden Chamber" and "Tai Gong's Art of War," this book is collectively known as the "Tai Gong" Three Books. Only "Tai Gong's Art of War" and "Tai Gong's Conspiracy" have been circulated. I am giving this book to you today, don't refuse."
"This book is too valuable. Why don't you lend it to me for a few days to read? I will return it when I leave Danyang."
"It doesn't matter, this book is also a copy. If you are a master of the law, just take it."
"Thank you sir, I'm just sorry." Now that Xiang Yiming had said this, Chen Fan naturally accepted the book, but he was secretly surprised in his heart that he didn't know that Xiang Yiming had come to make peace with him. It brings so much gain that it leads to giving such a precious gift.
Xiang Yiming seemed to have seen through Chen Fan's thoughts. When Chen Fan accepted the book, he said: "Fa Sheng, you came here this time and replaced the vicissitudes of human nature with the vicissitudes of the world. It made me enlightened and made a breakthrough in my state of mind. This book is my If you have any thoughts, just take them."
"Sir, I'll accept your kindness. It's an honor for Fa Sheng to be able to help you." Chen Fan had a vague guess in his mind.
The two then chatted for a while. Chen Fan declined Xiang Yiming's offer to stay overnight, said goodbye, and led everyone to stay at an inn near Dingsheng College.
In the following days, besides going to the academy to play chess, Chen Fan copied "The Grand Duke's Conspiracy" in the inn.
From October 12th to October 17th, after six consecutive days of assessment, Chen Fan finally successfully passed the sixth-level and fifth-level tests, and received two more certificates on the chess certificate. The copying of "The Conspiracy" was almost completed. Chen Fan decided not to rush to set off. After completing the copying of "The Grand Duke's Conspiracy", it would not be too late to leave.
On October 18th, it started to rain lightly, and Chen Fan, who was writing in the house, was nearing the end. This "Tai Gong Conspiracy" is different from "Tai Gong Art of War". Chen Fan can basically understand the meaning of "Tai Gong Art of War", but there are many unclear things in "Tai Gong Conspiracy". Chen Fan copied and copied, and he was filled with doubts. The more I copied it, the more I felt that "Tai Gong's Conspiracy" was mysterious and unusual. "The five thieves are in the heart, and they are executed in the sky; the universe is in the hands, and all transformations are born in the body." If this can be practiced, wouldn't it be possible to control the way of heaven with human power? This is not only a wonderful book on martial arts. ?
When Chen Fan finished his last stroke, it suddenly started pouring heavily outside. "Do you want to use 'Cheng Yin' to reflect?" Chen Fan suddenly felt hesitant in his heart. Looking at the sudden heavy rain outside, Chen Fan's eyes flashed with doubts, "Is it possible?" Is it a message from heaven and man? As soon as I finished copying, it started to rain heavily. Could this be a warning from heaven and earth?"
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Chen Fan's hesitant eyes gradually became firmer, "'If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed for it; when the time comes, you will suffer the consequences.' I have never copied the principles of not practicing. Since I practice, Of course I have to use 'Chengying' to reflect." Without the guidance of his master, Chen Fan wanted to figure out the secret of "Tai Gong's Conspiracy" on his own, which would not be achieved in a short time. He immediately stopped hesitating and thought silently "Reflecting the Shadow", suddenly a thunder resounded across the sky and the earth. With this thunder, the profound meaning of "The Grand Duke's Conspiracy" flowed in Chen Fan's heart.
Chen Fan, who understood "Tai Gong's Conspiracy", fell into deep thought.
The reason why "Tai Gong's Conspiracy" is also called "Tai Gong's Yin Fu" is that in addition to talking about tactics, it also uses the tactics of tactics to metaphor the way of heaven and earth, tells the secrets of cultivating Taoism, and describes the method of becoming a saint. To practice this sutra, there are many difficulties. The first hurdle Chen Fan faces is to lay the foundation. The foundation of Taigong Yin Talisman is to achieve the innate body. The innate body is different from the innate realm. The innate realm refers to the realm. The innate body refers to physical quality.
The cultivation of Taigong Yin Talisman relies on absorbing the power of Taiyin, cultivating true Qi, and obtaining supreme magic power. However, in the end, it is necessary to develop a pure Yang body in order to become the legendary god. If you want to develop a pure Yang body , when practicing, you must first develop the innate body, and to change from acquired to innate, you need to use two treasures, one is the water of Guiyin, and the other is the jade of Lihuo, but Chen Fan does not know where these two things are. Where to get it? Another troublesome thing is that once you start practicing the Taigong Yin Talisman, you can't stop. If you don't have these two things, after practicing, unless you use up your skills, you will go crazy and die. What is placed in front of Chen Fan is To practice or not to practice?
