The news that the Buddhist master Ming Fashen, in the south, arrived in Pengcheng quickly spread in a few days. Then the Kong family's invitation was revealed, and instantly attracted the attention of Pengcheng.

On the streets, in the market, in teahouses, and in the taverns, everyone is talking about this matter, completely diluting the original discussion about Chen Zhi.

In this atmosphere, no one noticed that Chen Zhi’s manor outside the city had a significant increase in the number of people coming and going in recent days. Today, several Chen family masters even went there in person.

At this time, these masters gathered in the courtyard, looking at the busy servants and carriages, and were asking Chen Zhi for instructions.

"Zhi'er, when you go out, you must be careful everywhere. Don't come in when you encounter forests and walk around when you encounter water. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Be more careful whenever you are." Chen Chi said endlessly, with a look of worry on his face.

The sixth master Chen Yuze said: "If it weren't for the literary association in Qingzhou, I wouldn't agree to you going to study now. The seventh brother is no longer here, but you have not yet married and have not left any children, so you have to go out for study. It's a bit unreasonable." His tone was a little stiff.

"Sixth brother, you can't say that." Chen Chi shook his head beside him and said with a smile, "Our seventh nephew has the ability, so he has to go and go for a walk. How can he stay at home? You have also heard about the Ming Dharma Sang recently. This time, there are many capable people going north to Qingzhou. If Zhi'er can stand out, it will become famous all over the world. This is the matter of glorious ancestors!"

The fifth master Chen Xun also laughed and nodded, "That's not the case. Zhi'er went out this time and could make people know that our Pengcheng Chen family has a third-rank figure!"

Eighth Master Chen Yuan said in a plain tone: "When you go out, you need to rely more on friends. The gentlemen of the Lu family and the Tao family are all knowledgeable people. Remember to ask more questions and listen to his suggestions when encountering things."

"Uncle Eight, I'm here to show my support."

Tao Ya, who had been waiting for Chen Bian, quickly became modest because they all had a relationship with Chen Zhiping. For more than two months, they had already become much closer, so they regarded themselves as the nephews of several old Chen.

When these Chen masters first heard this, they were very frightened. Now they are used to it, and they have a lot of pride in their hearts.

Tao Ya said: "In terms of knowledge, I can't wait for Brother Chen to be one or two. I heard him talk about the world's style before, and it was like seeing it with my own eyes. This is just that I can't tell the changes in the world without leaving home, and we definitely don't dare to compare with Brother Chen."

Lu Ying also nodded. The Lu family's young master still had the intention to argue with Chen Zhi, and did not feel ashamed because Chen Zhi was at the third rank. However, he had been debating for a long time and admired Chen Zhi's personality and insight.

Next, everyone was talking and talking, and the scene was very lively.

After several days of preparation, Chen Zhi finally prepared the necessary requirements for the study tour. Now it is time to invite everyone to set off. Since this study tour was not for publicity, the Chen family was always on the low-key side when preparing. Even a few old Chens were not willing to make too much money considering Chen Zhi's safety issues.

In addition, inside and outside Pengcheng, people were discussing the invitations of Ming Fashen and the Kong family, so few people noticed the movements on Chen Zhi.

After the explanation of the old Chen was almost done, the convoy drove out of the house. Chen Zhi turned around and looked at Chen Chi, Chen Ting, Chen Xi, Chen Man behind Chen Bian, as well as the old servant Chen Fu, disciple Chen Zhe and others.

Because of the difference in status, although they were Chen Zhi's blood brothers, they still could not stand in front. But now Chen Zhi waved to them, and a few people just approached.

Chen Ting bowed, stood up and said, "Brother, I hope you have a good journey."

Chen Zhi nodded, then smiled and said, "Second brother, when I was not here, you were the pillar of the family. Remember to ask the elders and uncle Fu more suggestions. If you have any questions, you can discuss with Chen Jue."

Chen Ting Zheng’s key point.

Next to him, Chen Xi said reluctantly: "Brother, you have to come back early."

Chen Zhi walked over, patted his shoulder, and said, "In the days when I am away, you should study harder and not be tempted."

"I remember." Chen Xi nodded repeatedly.

Chen Zhi withdrew his gaze, turned his gaze and fell on Chen Man.

The latter also looked reluctant.

"Brother, you have to come back early..." Chen Man also said, "If you are not here, I will miss you."

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, little sister, I will definitely see many rare objects during this study tour, and I will bring them here to show you."

"Really?" Chen Man suddenly became happy again, "You have to keep your word!"

"Have you ever lied to you?" Chen Zhi asked back, reached out and touched Chen Man's head, then looked at his loyal servant Chen Fu, and said, "Uncle Fu, you are going to take care of you at home."

Chen Fu said seriously: "Don't worry, young master, but if you have a breath, you have to guard the Chen family!"

Chen Zhi nodded and smiled when he heard this, "But Uncle Fu, you have to pay attention to your body. You can't be without you at home. Just tell others to do those trivial matters, and you can also let Chen Jue arrange them..." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Chen Jue who was serving aside, "Chen Jue, after I leave, you have to be more diligent in and out of the house."

"Young master, I will keep it in mind and will definitely live up to my responsibilities!" Chen Jue looked solemn and was ecstatic. What could he say specifically on such an occasion?

This is the treatment of a confidant!

After working hard for so long, I finally got to this point.

Just as Chen Jue was ecstatic, Chen Zhi came to Chen Zhe and looked at his disciple.

In terms of qualifications, Chen Zhe is not a good person, but since he became a teacher, he has a sense of resilience. With Chen Zhi's specially customized tutorials, he has made great progress.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "I won't take you there this time because you still have a lot of things to learn. I have written down the specific booklets. You can read them at any time. In the house outside the city, your room is also preserved. You can take your grandfather over and live with you."

"Teacher, I..." Chen Zhe wanted to say something, but when he saw Chen Zhi's expression, he finally nodded with a firm look on his face, "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely be attentive and will not discredit your reputation."

Chen Zhe was originally not very particular about reading, but by chance, he became Chen Zhi's disciple. He deeply realized the significance of knowledge changing his destiny, and coupled with his grandfather's eager expectations, he worked very hard.

After Chen Zhi entered the third rank, Chen Zhe felt pressure again, fearing that he would embarrass his teacher, so he worked harder and his original temperament was almost gone.

When Chen Zhi saw his expression, he shook his head and said, "Reading for learning does not actually have so many purposes. If you think it is interesting, then read more and learn more. If you think it is useful, you can learn more. If you think it can change your destiny, then work hard. But don't forget yourself because of this. You may not understand what I said now, but you can write it down first and you will have your own insights in the future."

After explaining this sentence, Chen Zhi bowed to several uncles and then turned around and went out. His whole movement was like flowing water.

When Lu Ying, who had been waiting there for a long time, couldn't help but ask: "Are you leaving like this? Do you want to say goodbye to the county magistrate and the others?"

"I have met you three days ago and have already talked about this." Chen Zhi looked back at his manor and then boarded the carriage.

Lu Ying, Tao Ya, Liu Gang, these three colleagues also did the same.

Suddenly, the convoy moved forward slowly.

It is said to be a convoy, but in fact there are only three cars, namely Chen Zhi, Lu Ying and Tao Ya, and Liu Gang and Chen Zhi were on the same car.

There were escorts walking on both sides of the convoy, fifty of whom looked quite capable, selected from the 200 armed servants.

The servants were originally 200 people selected from a thousand people. After rigorous training, these fifty people were the better of the 200 people. Therefore, in terms of energy and spirit, they already had the taste of the elite servants of the Zhuge family when Zhuge Yan left.

Since it is a convoy, of course, guards are indispensable, but the number of people cannot be too large, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble. Unless it is a wealthy family like the Zhuge family, it cannot be too small. After all, whether it is Lu Ying, Tao Ya, or even Liu Gang, they all have extraordinary backgrounds, and they also have guards to accompany them.

So, the guards gathered together, and amid the many blessings, the convoy slowly drove onto the avenue.

Due to the large number of people, the convoy was not moving fast. After seeing it, many people along the way guessed the origin and paid attention to the ceremony, but no one came up to stop it, because these were all civil servants or passers-by merchants.

After walking for two hours, pedestrians on both sides gradually became fewer, and casual guards gradually increased their vigilance, because they had left the town and entered the wilderness, and it was possible that they would encounter bandits. If they were not able to deal with it well, the entire convoy would be wiped out, and the news might take several days to be known.

Fortunately, the journey is quite peaceful and there is no special place.

Inside the carriage, Chen Zhizheng chatted with Liu Gang.

"I'll be in Xiekou Town after a while. You can stay there at night. This town is located at the foot of the mountain. There is a temple on the mountain. It has been newly launched in recent years. I heard that the monks inside are quite wise. Since they are out for study, Brother Chen cannot miss this person."

As a member of the Liu family, Liu Gang also visited the surrounding area, so he is quite familiar with the situation here and is considered a guide.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi became interested and smiled and said, "Okay, I'm about to see it."

Liu Gang then said, "By the way, the Ming Fashen stayed in Pengcheng for a few days. I heard that he would set off in the past two days. Before, there were people coming and going in the city, so it was hard to pay a visit. Maybe we would stop for a day or two, so we could go to this slanting temple. Maybe we could meet him, just to explore Buddhism."

As the two said this, the sun outside the car gradually sinks, and when the sky is burning, several figures suddenly appear on the road ahead, all of whom are riding tall horses, blocking the road.
