Looking at the smiling young man, Chen Ping'an felt nervous and his body was tense, completely involuntarily.
In the life-and-death struggle with Cai Jinjian and Fu Nanhua, the closer Chen Pingan got to them, the more calm he became. Even though he was entangled with the Zhengyang Mountain Monkey and then hunted down, Chen Pingan probably had a death wish from the beginning. Although he would be frightened when he thought about it afterwards, during the fight, no matter how his life hung by a thread, Chen Pingan was not nervous. , of course, it may also be that you don’t care at all.
The only tense moment that I remember deeply was the close match with Ma Kuxuan, his peer from Xinghua Lane, in the Immortal Cemetery. Chen Pingan’s palms were actually full of sweat at that time.
Chen Ping'an's sharp intuition is almost instinctive, and Cui Yi doesn't seem to be surprised at all.
Since Cui Han dared to provoke the unpredictable old man Yang in Lao Ci Mountain, it was certainly not a ploy, otherwise it would not have made Ruan Qiong, a military sage who reached the eleventh floor, fearful.
He deliberately turned a blind eye to the straw-shoe boy's unconcealable nervousness, shifted his gaze, and faced the great scholar's workshop that had a great story to do with the capital of Great Li. He stretched out a finger, his expression still warm. Luo Yinqin explained: "Confucianism is about doing your duty, Taoism is about speaking naturally, Buddhism is about not asking outsiders, and military strategists are angry about bullfighting. The four plaques and twelve characters contain the majestic and abundant divine will of the person who wrote it. There are also the four saints from the three religions and one family who made the rules here. They deliberately left some of their energy here. Did you see the objects in the hands of the minister? They were specially used to rub the monument, with the purpose of removing those words. The essence inside is peeled off layer by layer. The first rubbing must be the most similar to the 'authentic work', similar in shape and spirit. As time goes by, it will become farther and farther away from the original appearance of the original work, and of course its value will become smaller and smaller. , I feel that except for the four words "Don't ask for help from outside", which can barely hold up six times, the other three plaques may not be able to hold up four times, especially the angry bullfighting of the military strategist. It seems that two of the words died not long ago, so the two After this, we can call it a day."
Chen Ping'an was a little shocked. It turned out that there were so many ways to do it. It was not just about arranging words in books, or writing Spring Festival couplets and hanging them on the wall, or on tombstones. Carve the name of the deceased.
Chen Ping'an recalled for no reason the words on Mr. Qi's gift of a seal, as well as the prescription given by young Taoist Master Lu.
Cui Chan continued: "The papers used as tablet rubbings are extremely valuable. Each piece is as thick as a piece of wood. It is a unique treasure of the Zhengao Sect of Bizhou Taoism. It is called Fenglei Jian, which is used for writing. Sometimes, the tip of the pen rubs against the paper, causing bursts of wind and thunder. Our Emperor does not have much in his inventory, so he is reluctant to use it at ordinary times. Occasionally, he will take it out to reward meritorious ministers, or give it to a certain yamen in the six ministries at the end of the year, so this time The Ministry of Rites is determined to win those words. Our young Mr. Wu, who has a great future, is too preoccupied and wants to grasp and grasp every aspect. It is estimated that he will encounter obstacles everywhere in the future in the small town. The exterminator of the family and the county magistrate of the broken family in other places have arrived. It must be very difficult for him to be here."
Chen Ping'an is like listening to heavenly scriptures.
Although the boy next to him spoke loudly, Chen Ping'an didn't think he was talking nonsense.
The young man with a hint of cinnabar on his eyebrows said that he was not an official of Dali, so he was not lying. However, when he appeared in the blacksmith shop, he followed the inspector Wu Yuan. Ruan Xiu said that he might be Master Wu's. The so-called book boy is the guy who carries a bookcase next to his son when he is on a study tour. But Chen Pingan can now be sure that the handsome young man in front of him, who claims to be nicknamed Xiuhu, is definitely not simple. Regardless of his conversational skills and elegant demeanor, he is no worse than Chen Songfeng, the eldest grandson of Longwei County and Fu Nanhua, the young master of Old Longcheng.
In Chen Pingan’s impression, among all the people he knew, a handful of them were very special. For example, Old Yao, the head of the kiln, was taciturn all year round. When he spoke, he mostly cursed, but every time Old Yao came in Behind the mountain, the spirit of the whole person is particularly good, giving people the illusion of being physically stronger than a young and strong man. Another example is Old Man Yang from the Yang Family Pharmacy. He is very fair. No matter how bad his relationship with you is, he will not do anything to you, but no matter how good his relationship is with you, he will not deliberately give you anything more. There is also girl Ning Yaoning whom I have just met, and she also has a heroic spirit about her. And Ma Kuxuan of Xinghua Lane reveals his true face, full of vigor and violence.
The same is true for Cui Chan, nicknamed Xiuhu.
Like Fu Nanhua, Cai Jinjian and other immortal disciples, who were higher and higher, Chen Ping'an even felt that even if Zhenjun Jiejiang was in front of him, Cui Han's eyes and face were still so careless.
Of course, the young man’s talkativeness can only be matched by Liu Baqiao of Fengleiyuan.
The young man suddenly smiled and asked: "Chen Pingan, can you take me to the yard of Song Jixin's house?"
Chen Pingan's heartstrings tightened and he asked seemingly casually : "But the memorial hall hasn't dispersed yet?"
When the young man smiled and narrowed his eyes, he looked like a handsome and harmless fox fairy, "I know you are worried about my evil intentions, and I will tell you the truth. Well, I'm very familiar with Song Jixin's younger brother. He was very curious about how his brother lived in the small town for more than ten years, so he asked me to go see it with my own eyes so that he could tell him when he returned to the capital. Said. "
Chen Pingan asked: "Since he and Song Jixin are brothers, can't he ask it himself?"
The young man snapped his fingers and said in appreciation: " Chen Pingan, you are very smart, you found the loophole so quickly."
Chen Pingan can't keep up with this guy's thinking.
The young man rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly: "He and his brother Song Jixin, who had never met before, had a bad relationship because of their parents. The brothers in the wealthy family had a bad relationship. There are just as many dirty things as there are trivial things in Xinghua Lane in Ni Ping Lane, so you have to be considerate."
Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "If I don't agree, will you find it? My trouble?"
The young man looked confused, then pointed at his nose and said aggrievedly: "Look at me, I look like a vicious person?, open your eyes and take a closer look, do I look like the kind of person who will kill the whole family if I disagree with you? "
Chen Pingan answered honestly: "It doesn't look like it. "
The young man gasped, "Why don't you sound like you want to say something nice?
He crossed his arms across his chest and snorted coldly: "If you don't want to take me there, then I'll ask for directions myself." ”
Chen Ping’an asked: “You don’t have a key, and you can’t even enter the yard. What did you go to see?” "
The young man's face showed an expression of "You, Chen Pingan, are too young." He smiled and said nothing.
Chen Pingan was very familiar with this kind of smile, Liu Xianyang and Gu Can often does.
Chen Pingan sighed, "Then I will take you to Mud Bottle Lane. You don't have to climb over the wall to enter the courtyard. I can only take you to the door. "
The young man slapped Chen Ping'an hard on the shoulder, "What were you doing earlier? ! ”
The young man turned around and strode away, away from the crowded archway.
He suddenly stopped and turned around to see Chen Pingan, who was carrying a basket on his back, walking in the opposite direction of the street.
Some embarrassed teenagers trotted to follow.
After entering the Mud Bottle Alley, the young man looked around and said: "So this is the legendary Mud Bottle Alley. , Hidden dragons and crouching tigers, talents come out, talents come out. In the next hundred years, apart from Xinghua Lane, it is estimated that Fulu Street and Taoye Lane combined will not be able to compare with this place. ”
The young man’s words of God and God did not make people feel awkward at all.
As we walked along, the young man would jump a few times from time to time and look behind some low walls. The scene of the courtyard.
Chen Pingan took him to the entrance of Song Jixin Courtyard, "This is it. "
The young man stood in the alley and soon saw the Spring Festival couplets written by Song Jixin himself. His eyes lit up and he said with emotion: "This is the house where Song Jixin and the maid Zhigui live. ? Well, his handwriting is really good, and he is much more savvy than his younger brother. The more I watch, the more I like it. "
As he spoke, the boy stepped forward, stood on tiptoes, and started to tear off the Spring Festival couplets.
Chen Pingan was anxious and quickly stopped the boy, "You What to do?
The young man had an innocent look on his face, "Song Jixin will never come back here in this life. If I keep these Spring Festival couplets to be exposed to the wind and sun, they will gradually disappear. I might as well keep them and take them to the capital." . "
Chen Pingan insisted on his opinion, shook his head and said: "No, before you change the Spring Festival couplets at the end of the year, you cannot tear off the Spring Festival couplets, otherwise it will bring bad luck to the family. "
The young man groaned and said in despair: "The small town still has this kind of thing. ”
Chen Pingan asked: “Would you like to sit in my yard?”
The young man waved his hand, "Forget it, it's such a big place, I probably won't even be able to drink a cup of tea, so I walked away." By the way, this alley is not Sleepy Hollow, right? If we keep going forward, can we get out? "
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Those who can get out. ”
The young man strode away,Not forgetting to turn his back to Chen Pingan, he raised his hand and shook it.
Chen Pingan watched the strange boy leave, and then returned to his yard. Seeing that the locust branches at the foot of the wall were still there, he put down the basket and moved a bench out of the house to sit down.
Chen Pingan stood up suddenly and ran quickly to the Mud Bottle Alley. As expected, a sneaky guy ran very fast.
Chen Pingan came to the door of Song Jixin’s house and saw that the Spring Festival couplets had been stolen.
Chen Pingan stood there, looking at the bare walls on both sides of the courtyard door. He was speechless and said with a wry smile: "Who is this person? He is so unkind."
< p>————Chen Pingan walked back to his yard with a sigh, only to find that Old Man Yang had been sitting on the bench at some point, blowing out smoke.
The old man said slowly: "You are young, what to do if you sigh, you have finally accumulated a little energy, but you have to let it out, especially those who practice boxing."
Chen Ping'an. Horrified, he said in a deep voice: "Remember."
The old man asked: "Why did the little girl named Ning leave suddenly? I lost a bag of Spring Festival money."
p>Chen Ping'an squatted beside the old man, shook his head and said: "I don't know. I just know that Miss Ning has something to do with a place called Daoxuan Mountain."
Old Yang nodded and said with a smile: " Hanging Mountain, a shabby place where birds can't shit, is the junction of two places. In order to prevent the two sides from wandering randomly, a great leader, one of the three disciples of Daozu, used the magical power of the inverted world to intimidate foreigners. , after all, the upside-down mountain is actually the mountain seal with the highest reputation in the world, and its methods are very domineering."
There was both sarcasm and sadness in the old man's words, and of course Chen Ping'an didn't know the reason.
Old man Yang asked: "Are you planning to buy a mountain?"
Chen Ping'an never played tricks in front of this old man, and answered honestly: "You plan to buy five mountains, Baolu Mountain , Caiyun Peak and Xiancao Mountain, near Master Ruan’s three mountains, there are also Luolu Mountain and Zhenzhu Mountain..."
The old man interrupted the young man’s words and frowned: "Why did you buy it? Going down to Luopo Mountain? Ruan Qiong? No, he obviously doesn’t want to get too involved with you.”
Chen Ping’an asked, “Is Luopo Mountain weird?”
The old man hesitated for a moment, blew out a smoke ring, and nodded, "Apart from Piyun Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain, this Luolu Mountain is the most interesting. But so far, I am afraid that even the Great Liqin Tianjian Earth Master You can't tell, so the price won't be too high, so you're getting a huge advantage."
The old man's eyes were sharp, and he said in a more serious tone, "You haven't said why you bought it!"
Chen Pingan said awkwardly: "When I was looking at the map, a lump of bird droppings fell from my head, and it happened to fall on the word "Luolu Mountain". In the past, Old Man Yao always said that there were invisible gods among the mountains and rivers. I felt quite lucky, and I really didn’t know which hill to buy at that time, so I decided to buy it randomly.”
The old man.After hearing "Old Man Yao", his eyes behind the white smoke were a little complicated, and he nodded, "If that's the case, it barely makes sense."
Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Master Ruan has already Agree, help me buy those five mountains, so I made a profit?"
Old man Yang hummed and said softly: "I made a profit."
The old man was a little bit. I wonder, is it really because there are no rules and restrictions in Lizhu Cave Sky that Chen Ping'an's luck has improved?
Chen Pingan suddenly remembered something, "The boy with the mole between his eyebrows said that his surname was Cui and his nickname was Xiuhu. He also said that I could call him uncle."
Old man Yang didn't speak.
As expected.
Cui Chan, the Grand Master of the Great Li Dynasty, although he has no official status, is the nominal leader of all the Qi practitioners in the Great Li Dynasty. It is said that he is also one of the few national Go players in Dongbaopingzhou.
But where to start talking about the master uncle?
The old man stood up and reminded: "Keep the four-square seal that Mr. Qi gave you, especially the one with the word Jing, and hide it carefully. This Cui Chan, or later You don’t need to be afraid of anyone you meet, and of course don’t provoke them easily. Just remember that after you successfully buy five mountains, you should stay quiet, even if you keep your tail between your legs.”
Chen Pingan thought about it carefully, nodded vigorously and said: "Write it down!"
