Chapter 1966 New Ideas for Formation
Gu Feifan asked curiously, "Master, what we're burning is just paper money, how could it be fake?"
Caibao rolled her eyes at him: "Are you stupid? Haven't you heard the saying that burning newspapers at a grave is just to fool the ghosts? Can't I burn newspapers?"
Anyway, Mom would secretly bring back some "unwanted" newspapers from school every now and then. They could use them as a snack while eating, and they didn't have to wipe the table. How convenient!
We have plenty of newspapers at home, so we can burn them as much as we want without spending any money.
Looking at Xu Ji's grave, Gu Feifan felt a pang of sympathy for him.
Your things absolutely must be genuine and valuable, otherwise you might end up receiving newspapers burned by your master during holidays.
My master is so petty. If I give her the real thing, she might be so happy that she'll burn a bunch of paper money for me, but then she'll forget about it. It's a one-off deal.
But if you sell counterfeit goods that are worthless and you manage to cheat her, she'll burn newspapers for you during holidays and festivals, which will drive you crazy!
Even in the underworld, you won't find peace; your corpse will be repeatedly whipped.
Well, in a sense, the apprentices really understand their masters.
However, Caibao still believes that he is going to get rich.
Following Xu Ji's last wishes, they carefully set up an array in front of his grave so that he could rest there peacefully, undisturbed by anyone or anything.
Then Zheng Shou realized that some people's talents are truly manifested in every aspect.
He only gave Caibao a basic explanation of the key points of setting up the formation, and she was already able to learn how to set it up.
She is quick-witted and has a good memory. She can remember something after hearing it only once, and she can also learn and practice at the same time, integrating knowledge and understanding.
This child is especially good at divergent thinking.
She asked Zheng Shou, "Grandpa, Grandpa mentioned in his book that everything can be used to set up formations. Can the sofa and furniture in the house be used too? Can I set up a small formation in my house in the future?"
Zheng Shou: ...
This kid is really something else.
"What kind of formation are you going to set up at home? Huh? Be careful your mom spanks you."
What kind of formation could Caibao set up at home? Of course, she'd set up a formation so that her parents wouldn't find out when she secretly went out to play.
Think about it, she ran out, but when her parents went to her room, well, they couldn't get in at all, so how did they find out she was missing?
Wow, just thinking about it made her think it was a fantastic idea.
Zheng Shou could tell from her animated expression and darting eyes that the child was already plotting something wicked.
He secretly decided that when he got back, he would have to let Chen Chuan learn this formation as well, otherwise if Cai Bao continued to cause trouble like this, he was afraid that they, as parents, would not be able to control him.
Since he was no match for Caibao, he could only pin his hopes on Chen Chuan.
As for Shen Xi, ha, her? A mere brute! Chen Chuan is much more reliable.
Well, Sister Caibao ultimately lost because she was too young, and Zheng Shou will soon be able to come up with a solution to her problem.
After the matter was settled, Xu Ji's belongings would naturally be handed over to Cai Bao, since she was the successor he had chosen himself, even though Cai Bao had not become his apprentice.
Caibao took the books on battle formations and military strategy. She wanted to leave the sword manual for her mother, and planned to give the medical books to Hou Pingzheng. She gave the medicine manual, especially the section on poisons, to Zheng Shou so that he could study it.
Fang Shiyou's eyes lit up at the sight of those ancient swords. He flattered his master so much that he was allowed to choose one of the treasures.
Xu Ji, as expected of someone from a prominent family, possessed considerable wealth.
Each sword is so sharp it can cut a hair in two; even if it has been covered in dust for hundreds of years, it still shines with a cold gleam when drawn.
Since one is already being given away, the other apprentices and followers can't be left out either.
Caibao let his apprentices and Hou Qianrong each pick one; there were dozens of them, she had plenty.
This is an antique, and one of the most valuable items in the antique world. And Master just gave it to them like that?
Gu Feifan neither knew martial arts nor understood this; he wanted to live forever.
"Master, could you give me some more of those sour fruits? I don't want a sword, I don't know how to wield it."
Hou Qianrong dared not accept it.
Sister Caibao has already said she will give the medical book to Grandpa. What merit or ability does the Hou family have to become Sister Caibao's disciple? They have done nothing wrong, yet they are expected to receive such a generous gift. They are truly unworthy of it.
Apart from Fang Shiyou, no one else wanted it.
The treasures didn't matter; Fang Shiyou helped him put them away. There were also some porcelain, calligraphy, and paintings. Oh, and there was even the land deed for this mountain. Rich young masters are really capricious, buying mountains to live in seclusion.
However, with the change of dynasties, this mountain now belongs to the country.
The project was just negotiated and contracted by the Yaxi Group, who plan to develop it.
Ya Xi plans to collaborate with the Agricultural University to see if these longevity trees can be transplanted and artificially cultivated.
However, this forest also needs to be developed. At present, this area is sufficient for research and medicinal purposes.
Since such high-end products are naturally intended for a small number of people to use first.
Chen Ying disliked this privilege, but there was nothing she could do; that was reality. With money and power, one could enjoy things that ordinary people couldn't enjoy many years earlier.
But she can try to shorten this time.
Through her connections, the research institute also reached a cooperation agreement with Ya Xi to jointly develop and research new drugs. All she could do was to develop and mass-produce them as soon as possible so that ordinary people could also use them.
And that hot spring, it seems, is used as a medicinal ingredient to amplify the effects of the longevity fruit.
Although Caibao didn't like eating those sour things, Zheng Shouqiang still forced her to eat a few every day, making her face wrinkle from the sourness.
Anyway, the adults have started getting busy, leaving Sister Caibao with some free time.
She didn't want to go up the mountain with a group of adults anymore, so she wandered around the village all day.
They especially love to sneak into other people's orchards.
Almost every household in Shili Village grows apples, and the apple varieties here are different from those in other places.
The apples are exceptionally red, with flesh as white as jade and skin as thin as paper. They hang on the tree covered with paper bags, and you can smell their fragrance from afar.
This season is nearing the end of the apple harvest, and Caibao roams around the various orchards. With his sweet tongue, he calls out to uncles, aunts, and sisters one after another, making everyone smile from ear to ear.
She only spent a day wandering around the village, but she became familiar with everyone, young and old, men and women. Even the village dogs became her good friends, following her around in a large group. Wherever Caibao went, she was given two apples.
In a day, she could carry dozens of kilograms. Hou Qianrong silently followed behind Caibao. She had witnessed what it meant to speak to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language. There was nothing Caibao couldn't say or respond to.
Moreover, she is particularly good at making people happy, and she is observant and helpful. When she goes to someone's orchard, she will offer them water or a towel, or help pick fruit. The work is not tiring, but it makes people feel sweet.
So she was very popular and likable wherever she went.
