After Chen Pingan carried the basket ashore, he went to the green ox’s back As he walked, the young man felt that the water level in the creek seemed to have dropped a bit, whether it was an illusion or not.

When he approached the blue stone cliff, he suddenly stopped because he clearly saw many people standing there, and their faces were almost every detail. The reason for this was not because of the bright stars. Instead, there was a snow-white elk standing on the back of the green bull. Its whole body was crystal clear, glowing with wisps of white light, like water plants swaying with the water in a stream.

The white deer lowered its head, while a little girl wearing a big red cotton-padded jacket stood on tiptoes and reached out to stroke its antlers.

Beyond them are two young men and women wearing Taoist robes. I don’t know if it’s because of the white deer’s light. The skin of the man and woman is better than snow, crystal clear. For example, if we talk about the people in the small town, They are natives made of clay, so these two foreign Taoists are made of exquisite porcelain. They are really very different.

The style of the men's and women's Taoist robes is somewhat similar to that of Mr. Lu who runs a fortune-telling stall, and there are many differences in details. The Taoist crown is the most different. Mr. Lu has a lotus crown, and the Taoist crowns on the heads of these two people are shaped like If the fish tail.

The boy in straw sandals stared blankly, feeling that the man and woman standing next to the white deer were like figures walking out of a fairy portrait, as if they would soar away in the next moment, reaching for the stars and the moon at their fingertips.

The other two people stood a little further away. One of them, Chen Pingan, was the daughter of Master Ruan, the swordsmith. The girl in green did not carry a package full of food this time. She held a small embroidered handkerchief in one hand. There were only a few exquisite and cute pastries. The girl lowered her head and looked very hesitant, not knowing which food to start with. The person next to her was about thirty years old, carrying a long sword on his back and a strange ornament hanging on his waist.

When Chen Pingan saw them, almost everyone also noticed the sudden appearance of the straw-shoe boy. The young Taoist nun was a little surprised, so she bent down and rubbed the head of the little girl in the red cotton jacket, while pointing at Chen. In the direction of Ping'an, while whispering, the little girl pricked up her ears to listen to the fairy sister's questions. She opened her eyes wide and looked intently. After vaguely recognizing Chen Ping'an's appearance, she started pouring beans through the bamboo tube. She should be in Explain Chen Pingan's identity to the owner of White Deer, the fairy sister.

At this moment, Chen Pingan also recognized the **-year-old little girl. The first time he met her was when he met a girl with braids in Mud Bottle Alley before going to Long Kiln to bake porcelain. The little girl was very young, but she ran very fast. She held a paper kite in her hand and had two slender legs like thin bamboo poles, but she ran like the wind. Chen Pingan was particularly impressed by this.profound. Later, I saw him intermittently several times. Once, a little girl was lying at the mouth of an iron-locked well, secretly throwing stones into it. Chen Pingan accidentally caught her naughty behavior. The little girl was so frightened that she ran away. Bu Cai remembered that the candied haws fell on the well mouth, and he couldn't bear the craving anymore, so he ran back to the iron lock well. He went back to the iron lock well again and again, too hastily, and ended up snapping and fell to the ground. He stood up and grabbed it. Tanghulu, then suddenly stopped, opened her mouth, reached out to pull out the shaky tooth, and put it in her pocket. She did not cry or make a fuss, and continued to run without saying a word.

That scene made Chen Pingan sweat all over his head. The last time I saw her was in the ruined place with the statues in the grass. It was one evening last autumn. Chen Pingan left Longyao and returned to the town. He was wandering around. He saw her busy catching crickets in the grass. She was rolling, jumping, and flying around. After seeing Chen Pingan, she obviously recognized Chen Pingan, and another breeze flew away.

Later Chen Pingan heard from Gu Can that although this young lady who was dirty all day long looked like an unruly wild girl, she was actually from the Li family on Fulu Street, and she was not a servant. The kind of maid. But I don’t know why, she just likes to wander around alone, and her family doesn’t care. When Gu Can finally talked about her, he was full of pride and contempt, saying that she was stupid even though she ran fast. The two of them happened to catch fish together in the stream. The idiot was busy all afternoon and only caught a crab and not a single slate fish. And the reason why she was able to catch the big crab was because of the crab's The crab claws pinched her fingers hard. Gu Can said this in Chen Ping'an's house at that time. He laughed so much that he covered his stomach and rolled on the small wooden bed. He said that she was so stupid. She even deliberately raised her hand to show off to him, as if catching a crab was a big deal. , the key is that at that time she was obviously caught by the crab claws and almost cried.

The handsome young Taoist glanced at the white deer, smiled at the young Taoist nun: "Senior Sister He, I want you to be careful, don't pamper it too much, it's only less than ten years old. Time, even though it’s just a trick, doesn’t hinder its freedom, but you just don’t listen. Now you’ve been hit by an ordinary person, what should you do?”

After listening to the young lady, After the girl's introduction, she smiled and said: "Let it take its course."

The young Taoist frowned and looked up again. After one glance, he looked carefully for a moment. He really couldn't see the man carrying a basket on his back. What's so impressive about the straw-shoe boy? The sect they belong to is not the best at looking at each other's energy and finding dragons' acupoints, but they are quite good at it. Since this Taoist priest can come here on behalf of the sect, To retrieve the overwhelming object, he is also responsible for bringing the mountain-holding treasure back safely and unharmed, and presenting it to the Shangzong in the future. Of course, he is definitely not the object in the pond, so when he didn't see that the young man had too many After being surprised, he no longer wanted to recruit him into the mountain gate. The young Taoist was good at reading faces and didn't think he would see the wrong person.

The sect the two belong to is one of the three Taoist sects in East Aquarius Continent, and is one of the Taoist sects in the continent.The first sect is extremely noble. This time he and Senior Sister He went out together. As a reward, each of them had a precious quota to recruit a true disciple for the sect, and this disciple would be accepted as an apprentice by each of them. Therefore, he does not want to spend money carelessly and must treat it carefully.

Everyone in the sect knew that Senior Sister He was re-cultivating her mind, so the simple words of letting nature take its course were most likely the idea of ​​accepting a disciple.

He and He Xiaoliang are known as the golden boys and girls of East Aquarius Continent and the proud daughters of Taoism in Yizhou. They are the kings of the world. When you meet them, you must treat them with courtesy. And the importance of etiquette is not inferior to that of a true king of a great country.

Because they are the cultivation geniuses within the continent who are most likely to reach the upper five realms.

When the young Taoist nun took the little girl's hand and walked down the back of the green ox together, with the psychic white deer following behind, it was not only the young Taoist who was his fellow disciple who was incredulous, but also the young Taoist who was wearing a tiger charm on his waist. The military strategist carrying a long sword also showed surprise.

When he saw the young Taoist nun walking slowly, Chen Pingan felt a little dizzy. The young man really didn't want to deal with these gods from other places.

Because Chen Pingan knows that their simple love, hate, joy and anger will determine their life, death, honor and disgrace.

And Chen Pingan knew that his luck had never been very good, so he was even more afraid of provoking them.

However, Chen Pingan did not run away because of this. On the contrary, he symbolically walked a certain distance forward. In this way, he looked decent in the eyes of others.

The white deer quickened its pace slightly, trotted over, walked around the straw-shoe boy, and finally lowered its head and took the initiative to rub against the poor boy.

The white deer returned to its owner. She touched its back gently, and the next moment it turned into a horse.

Referring to deer as horse.

The young Taoist nun looked at Chen Pingan, sighed slightly, said something with a smile, and then looked down at the little girl wearing a red cotton jacket.

The little girl explained it into the small town dialect and timidly said: "Sister He said, 'You are a person who cherishes blessings. It's a pity that you and I are not close friends and can't be Taoist friends.'"

The young man was speechless because he didn’t know what to say without being rude.

Carrying a basket on his back, wearing straw sandals and rolled up trouser legs, the young man looks particularly funny.

The Taoist nun asked with a smile: "Do you also know the magical uses of these stones? Chen Pingan, don't worry, I just asked casually."

The little girl copied the explanation and spoke quickly. Fast and crisp sound.

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "A Taoist priest reminded me that I can often come to the creek to pick up stones and catch fish."

Even if Chen Pingan is not interested in this, The young woman had a crush on him, but to be careful, she didn't even reveal Director Lu's last name. Moreover, the person who really revealed the secret and revealed the valuable value of snake gallstones was Ning Yao.

The Taoist nun smiled and said: "Do you also know our Uncle Lu?"

Chen Pingan was stunned.

The Taoist nun smiled knowingly and roughly explained: "Strictly speaking, Junior Uncle Lu is not from the same sect as us, but Master Lu visited our sect many years ago and became friends with one of our Senior Uncles. Over the years, we juniors have become familiar with him, and we have naturally become accustomed to calling him 'junior uncle'."

Chen Ping'an grinned, completely losing his guard.

The straw-shoe boy was deeply grateful to Director Lu and would never forget it in his life.

He remembered something, bent down and put down the basket, picked up one of the stones that he had fallen in love with at first sight. It was as big as an egg, green and clear as ice, very different from other snake gallstones, and handed it to Qinglan Orchid. The young Taoist nun asked: "Taoist Priest, if I see Taoist Priest Lu in the future, can you help me give this stone to him?"

After listening to the little girl's explanation, she thought for a moment and then continued. Crossing the stone, he said slowly: "Before coming here, I happened to meet my junior uncle who was leaving. He was going to Nanjian Country to attend an important ceremony of an orthodox sect. It's hard to say when we will meet next, but as long as When you see Mr. Lu, I will help you pass it on to him."

Chen Pingan smiled brightly as he listened to the little girl's words, and bowed down to thank this young Taoist nun who had a great impression.

The young man has always believed in his own intuition about whether strangers are good or bad.

It’s like Fu Nanhua’s Cai Jin slips, and it’s like Taoist Lu and Miss Ning.

Chen Pingan took out another snake gallstone and handed it to her again.

This Taoist female crown, known as "the number one in opportunity" among the younger generation of Dongbaopingzhou, did not refuse, accepted it with a smile, and did not forget to thank her.

The little girl in the red cotton jacket twisted her clothes with both hands and whispered: "I want a piece too."

Chen Pingan turned around with a smile and went to pick a stone from the basket for the little girl.

The little girl ran to him and said cautiously: "I want a bigger piece, okay?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "As long as you can move it, you can I’ll give you the biggest one. But it’s not close to the town or home. And I think the big ones in the basket are not as good as the smaller ones.”

She thought about it and put her hands on the basket. On the edge, "Okay, then I want to pick a small, nice-looking one."

Chen Pingan picked a small lotus root pink stone for her. It was moist and cute. The little girl held it in the palm of her hand. Very satisfied.

She suddenly tilted her head, grinned, pointed behind her teeth, and then smiled at Chen Pingan, her face full of pride.

I guess she was showing off that her teeth have grown straight again.

Chen Ping'an said happily: "Next time, let's go catch crickets together."

The little girl's eyes lit up, but soon turned gloomy, and nodded with a forced smile.

Chen Pingan picked up the basket, said goodbye to the young Taoist nun, waved to the little girl, and trotted back to the town alone.

Also a fairy, the gold content of this young female crown is far from that of Yunxiashan Cai JinjiannengIt is comparable enough, almost like the immortal gold essence to the secular gold.

She returned to Qing Niu Bei with the little girl and the white deer. The young Taoist looked away from the back of the straw-shoe boy, closed the coffin and concluded: "A small fate means a bad fortune, so naturally it should not be used in a big way."

There are so many Taoist sects in Dongbaopingzhou that a pair of "golden boys and girls" are selected every thirty years. He and his senior sister He Xiaoliang are the natural Taoist couples of this year. A surprising thing happened. The golden boy's qualifications were no less than before, but the opportunity of that beautiful girl was so good that it was so good that when she was born, there was a white deer, one of the auspicious things, and she took the initiative to walk out of the mountains and wild fields. Ze, came to her side to recognize his master, and then set foot on the road of spiritual practice. It seemed that there were no bumps in the road, and the journey was smooth. Some people even threatened that she would only encounter the first bottleneck after reaching the upper five realms.

As for her junior brother's contempt for the straw-shoe boy, she laughed it off without comment.

At this time, a short boy walked from near the deep pool under the covered bridge to the puddle under the back of the green ox. He only held a piece of snake gallstone in his hand, just like the white deer before, Shine brightly in the night.

The dull boy is holding a stone and standing on a stone above the water, like an immortal standing tall, holding a pocket full moon.

The two big green and red fish raised by the young Taoist did not enter the water, but swam slowly above the stream.

If Chen Pingan saw this young man, he would know that he was the grandson of Granny Ma in Xinghua Lane.

The boy has been demented since childhood and was rejected by his parents at a very young age. Granny Ma took care of her grandson by herself. The boy was very unsociable and often climbed to the roof alone to look at the clouds.

Growing up, the boy named Ma, who followed Granny Ma, was bullied until the end. He felt that stepping on him would make his shoes dirty. This poor kid seemed to only smile at the maid Zhigui in Mud Bottle Alley. Pass.

That's why Granny Ma particularly hated the maid, thinking that she was just a shameless vixen, and she must have taken the initiative to seduce her precious grandson.

The young female crown walked to the man with the sword on his back and asked: "About Ma Kuxuan, is there really no room for maneuver?"

The man said in a cold tone: "You guys If that little uncle really wants to accept this kid as his disciple, why don't he do it himself? No matter how famous his name is, why should he give it to him if he hasn't fought with me before? Come to Zhenwu Mountain to find me. If you win, let him take this child away."

The young Taoist smiled and said, "It's just an extra trip for our little uncle, why bother?"

p>

There is a needle hidden in the cotton.

The man with the sword and the talisman narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh?"

The young female crown was a little frustrated and glanced at her fellow disciple. The young Taoist laughed and stopped talking to the man. Tit for tat, she raised her head and said, "The moonlight is so beautiful today."

She was a little helpless.

As long as it involves the junior uncle of his sect, not to mention her and his junior brother, I am afraid that within a continentAll the young Taoist priests are honored.

On the other side of the covered bridge, at the foot of the steps, stood a barefoot monk with a square face and a look of perseverance.

The ascetic monk did not look up at the gold-lettered plaque, but looked at the ground where the incense sticks were placed before. He clasped his hands together, lowered his head and said compassionately: "Amitabha."

The short boy went ashore and came to the back of the green ox. He looked at the two young Taoists who were in high spirits, and then at the stern man carrying the sword. Finally, he stared at the latter who was about to hang the tiger charm, gritted his teeth and said: " I don’t want to learn the Tao of Immortality, can you teach me how to kill people?”

The man smiled proudly: “I am a swordsman who has been the most lethal in the world since ancient times!”

The young Taoist returned the favor and said with a smile: "Oh?"

The young female crown shook her head, knowing that the overall situation was decided, she felt guilty that she had failed her junior uncle's trust.

For a time, the back of the green bull by the stream was tense and the atmosphere was solemn.

The little girl in the red cotton jacket of the Li family hurriedly hid behind the fairy sister.

The girl in Tsing Yi had just finished eating the last piece of pastry, and was in a very bad mood. She said angrily: "If you have the ability, call my dad!"

I am older than the girl and her dad. The man with a long history no longer kept a straight face and said with a smile: "How to fight?"

The young Taoist joked: "Ruan Xiu, this is a bit bullying. Your father succeeded Mr. Qi The next saint is like the master of this world."

The girl in green curled her lips and said nothing.

The monk walked slowly and climbed onto the back of the green ox.

The young female crown said: "Your Buddhist Leiyin Pagoda, our Taoist Celestial Master's Seal, plus a small sword tomb from the military strategist, and of course the Confucian Mountain Jade Tablet. The four earliest ones are The overwhelming thing left by the saint, not to mention the intrigues among the Confucians themselves, but only the three of us, each took it back this time. Although it is justified, but if you really don’t say hello to Mr. Qi, wouldn’t it be inappropriate? ?”

The monk said nothing.

The young Taoist said worriedly: "It's a bit unhuman, but it's hard to disobey the orders from above. Senior sister, you'd better not add any unnecessary extravagance."

The military man sneered: " I’m not here to get close to anyone.”

————

Across the town, Chen Pingan returned to the alley where Liu Xianyang’s home was located, and saw Mr. Qi standing there. At the door.

The young man ran quickly, and before he could ask questions, Qi Jingchun handed him two private seals and said with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, I didn't give it to you for nothing. I have something to ask for. If you have any questions in the future, Shanya Academy is in trouble, and I hope you can help as much as you can. Of course, you don’t have to ask for news about the academy.”

The young man only said one word, “Okay!”

Qi Jingchun nodded and said sincerely: "Remember what I said to you before, 'A gentleman will not save you.' Those are my words from the bottom of my heart and are not meant to test people's hearts."

The young man grinned and said, "Sir, I can't guarantee this."

Qi Jingchun hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing and was about to leave.

He originally wanted to say that if Cliff Academy is really in trouble in the future, Chen Pingan, you don’t need to feel guilty if you feel regretful. Just pretend that you haven’t seen or heard about it, so there is no need to do it deliberately.

But Qi Jingchun didn't know why, deep down in his heart, he wanted to be lucky, and even he couldn't understand it.

After much thought, the master of the Cliff Academy came up with only one answer. It turned out to be just because of the young man in front of him, whose surname was Chen Ping'an. He seems to be different from everyone else.

The task you entrust to him is extremely difficult. Even if you know that the young man will not be able to do it with all his strength in the end, you can really be sure of one thing. As long as he agrees, he will do it. I know how to do it, even if I cannot do it even if I have a lot of strength, I am still willing to grit my teeth and use all my strength.

This is a comforting thing.

This was something Qi Jingchun had been asking for for many years but could not get. This scholar who took the initiative to be demoted to this place originally felt that the world was a foreign land.

Just when Qi Jingchun was about to turn around, the young man who was still carrying a basket quickly bowed and saluted with great difficulty.

In the alley, the Confucian sage returned the favor to the young man in a serious manner.
