The heavy rain hit the bamboo strips and bamboo hats of the two people, making a crackling sound.
Chen Pingan said in a deep voice: "This hairpin is very ordinary, just an ordinary jade material."
A Liang stared at the serious boy, as if he heard the biggest voice in the world. Joke, baring his teeth, and finally holding back his laughter, "It doesn't matter what you say."
Sweat dripped from Chen Pingan's forehead, but it was quickly washed away by the rain splashing on his face. Looking at the man, he asked: "Then what do you want?"
Aliang smiled and asked: "Do you think you are going to die?"
Chen Ping'an is here At this moment, I suddenly felt desperate.
Because Master Ruan has been here and left again.
And the man in front of him was still standing in front of him.
A Liang is still the smiling A Liang, holding the green bamboo knife across his body.
The man looked at the young man with a smile. He was not tall, wore thin clothes, sturdy straw sandals, and of course the finishing touch of the jasper hairpin.
If he remembered correctly, there were eight beautiful small characters engraved on the hairpin.
Chen Pingan's lips were livid and he asked in a trembling voice: "Can you let them go?"
A Liang did not speak.
Chen Pingan lit up the lamp and stayed up late the night before leaving, trying his best to imagine all the difficulties. It was not that he had never thought that he would encounter big and small obstacles on the way to study at Cliff Academy this time, because just His enemies include Yunxia Mountain, Laolongcheng and Zhengyang Mountain. Without exception, they are all immortals on the mountain, but they all have a life-or-death feud with him, so Chen Pingan is very worried because of himself. , affecting the schooling of the little girl in red cotton-padded jacket.
That day, when I told Li Baoping about the ups and downs of going into the mountains as a child, it was not that the young man wanted to complain or show off his power as a junior uncle, but that Chen Pingan wanted to tell the little girl something. Even if they were to go to the academy that had been moved to Sui Dynasty, the journey would definitely be farther than when he went to the mountains to collect herbs. If one day he is gone and cannot be with her, and Li Baoping hopes to go there to study just because she has no confidence in herself, then Chen Pingan hopes that she can go into the mountains like that time and take a few more steps. Just keep walking, maybe we'll get there.
But when these words came to his lips, Chen Pingan suddenly felt that it was too unlucky and unlucky for the two of them to start traveling far away, so he only said half of it and swallowed the other half. She turned around and changed her mind to hope that she could become the first mistress, a female gentleman. It's not only to seek good luck, but also fulfills Chen Ping'an's expectations for the little girl.
A Liang smiled and said: "To say the least, that hairpin is an ordinary literati ornament, and it does not belong to you. To say the least, I don't believe that Qi Jingchun kept it seriously for so many years. Does the hairpin have any hidden secrets? For example, it is actually a small unknown cave, or a geomantic treasure land that has the qualifications to become a blessed place. If you just take a step back, it would be even more powerful. It may be a cultural lineage. The tokens passed down from generation to generation are just like the tokens of the leader of the three main branches of Taoism.A piece of peach charm, a feather coat and a Taoist crown. If true, the hairpin is really Mr. Qi Jingchun's token. Chen Ping'an, do you think it is appropriate to wear it on your head? ”
Chen Ping’an answered incorrectly and asked: “Aliang, can you let Li Baoping, Li Huai and the others go?” "
A Liang smiled and asked: "How are you sure that I promised you and will not regret it later? "
Chen Ping'an's toes moved slightly.
A Liang crossed his arms across his chest and said with a smile: "Young hero, don't be impulsive. Aren't we trying to reason? Wait until the truth doesn't make sense." It's not too late to take action again. "
Chen Ping'an remained silent, his face pale.
A Liang looked the boy up and down, "It does look a bit like him. "
A Liang restrained his joking and stretched out his hand, "Hand over the hairpin, I won't kill them. "
Chen Pingan's fingers trembled.
A Liang said slowly: "This is Qi Jingchun's husband's relic, and it can also be regarded as Qi Jingchun's relic. "
Chen Pingan raised his arm and stretched it to the top of his head.
A Liang said with a smile: "You break the hairpin with your own hands, I won't kill you. I never lie. "
Chen Ping'an suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and stepped back with a kick, as if fighting.
A Liang asked: "Do you think you are dead anyway? I will also let Li Baoping and the others go, so even if you die, you have to give it a try. Can you protect this hairpin with your ability? ”
Chen Pingan said nothing, stepped heavily on the ground, rushed to A Liang, and punched out.
The next moment, Chen Pingan suddenly realized that he was already in front of him. There was no trace of A Liang.
Chen Pingan turned around stiffly, and sure enough, the man in the bamboo hat was standing there, but there was an extra hairpin in his hand.
Liang sighed and seemed not to be very interested in the hairpin at all. He stretched out his hand and handed it to the young man, "Take it back. ”
Chen Pingan cautiously walked forward a few steps and took the jade hairpin from him. In an instant, the young man felt his head sink. It turned out that the man in the bamboo hat gently pressed his hand on his head. The two stood side by side, but they were facing opposite directions. The man who always acted like a fool sighed, "Chen Ping'an, don't do stupid things in the future. Is there any dead thing in the world that is more important than human life? You must live, even if you cannot live well, you must live. There is no greater truth in the world than this.
The man in the bamboo hat patted Chen Pingan's head, looked up at the dark sky, and said with a smile: "You have to know, no matter how valuable this hairpin is or how meaningful it is, since Qi Jingchun is willing If I leave it to you, I must trust you, so whenever you need to make a life or death decision, you must choose life, not death. Die heroically, die impassionedly, die romantically, but death is death.
The man in the bamboo hat took back his hand, "Qi Jingchun is very disappointed with this world. That is his business. You, Chen Ping'an, are you. Don't imitate him. You haven't really seen the good and bad of this world." . peopleThose who live less than a hundred years and often worry about a thousand years old are the business of their scholars. I, A Liang, am not a scholar, and you, Chen Pingan, are not for the time being, so..."
The man did not say "so" in the end. The original content was just to whisper: "Chen Ping'an, believe my vision, you can go a long way in the future, even further than Qi Jingchun. "
The young man asked softly, "Why? "
The man gently rubbed the handle of the bamboo knife with his palm and said with a smile: "Because I am A Liang. "
The two finally walked down the top of the mountain in silence.
Chen Pingan asked: "The two people on the hillside over there? "
A Liang thought for a while, "Dead person? "
Chen Ping'an hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he decided not to get to the bottom of this issue. He changed the subject and asked: "Why didn't you take the hairpin away? "
The corner of A Liang's mouth twitched and he lamented: "After I got the hairpin, I realized that at worst it was only ten thousand steps back than I thought. It was even more outrageous. It was literally tens of thousands of steps back. It It’s really just a broken hairpin, so what do I need it for? "
The young man was speechless.
A Liang shook his head and said: "Real scholars are poor, you will understand later. In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago. According to the temper of the old man Delin and Qi Jingchun, it is normal to pass down such an ordinary hairpin.
A Liang suddenly smiled and turned his head, "You know, you took away something that I thought was in my pocket. Do you know how many wronged roads I have gone through for this?" "
The boy's bamboo hat was wet with rain, and he was confused.
A Liangqi snorted: "I have even carved a word somewhere, but in the end, wait for me Pidianpidian came here, and the result was such a bleak situation, so you have to thank me for not killing him. "
A Liang thought to himself and said: "If you don't have the ability to carve two or three words there in the future, I won't cut you off." "
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "A-Liang, can you say something I can understand? ”
“Okay. "
A Liang laughed and said: "My name is A Liang, a kind-hearted Liang. "
Chen Pingan helped him finish his next sentence, "I am a swordsman. "
At this moment, A Liang raised the corner of his mouth and slapped the young man on the shoulder, "Then it's settled! "
Chen Pingan was even more puzzled, "Huh? "
A Liang has already put aside the topic, "I have to say goodbye after a long journey. I will send you to the border of Dali and then leave. I believe that by then, you kids will be able to travel far away in peace. After studying, there will be no more troublesome things for the time being, so after that, you have to ask yourself if you can take them to Da Sui Cliff Academy, and then return to Da Li Longquan County alive. It depends on your ability. "
Chen Pingan suddenly said: "Thank you. ”
From the first time they met, until now, the young man has begun to completely trust this man who calls himself Aliang.
A Liang shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'm just making up for my debt, it has nothing to do with you."
Many years ago, there was a young scholar named Qi. After getting tired of studying, he said that he wanted to travel the world with him. That time, the swordsman named A Liang did not agree.
The man felt that if he had been more patient at that time, the boy would not have reached this stage today.
A Liang finally said: "Chen Ping'an, do you know?"
The young man said: "What?"
A Liang said seriously: "In the future, I A master like me must be respected from the bottom of his heart."
The young man asked curiously: "Can you beat Zhuhe?"
A Liang had a headache.
I think this guy is even more annoying than Qi Jingchun back then.
