When a group of people had breakfast and were about to leave, A Liang led the donkey and suddenly asked everyone to wait for a moment, and then shouted, "Come on, come on, the young and handsome Qidunshan land is as beautiful as a woman, and she is dressed in lust." Immortal's long-sleeved white clothes quickly emerged from the stone flat on the top of the mountain. Holding a long wooden box in his hand, he bent down and said flatteringly to the man in the bamboo hat: "Great Immortal, the younger one has prepared the car." , the remaining two hundred miles of mountain road are kept unobstructed, as if walking on flat ground."
A Liang is completely different from the guy who defeated the enemy with one sword yesterday, and said with a pleasant look: "Thank you for your hard work, I'm sorry for bothering you with the things." Take it first, and then give it to me when you are about to leave the jurisdiction of Qidun Mountain."
The young man was flattered and said, "The great immortal is so polite, I am so embarrassed."
Ah Liang took a step forward, patted the shoulder of this local god, and handed him the reins of the white donkey, "Then I won't be polite to you, and you will take the horse to the border as well." ”
The young man said solemnly: “Yes, it is a small person’s honor to serve as a pawn for the Great Immortal.”
A Liang turned to look at Li Huai, the little bastard had just eaten. When he was young, in order to compete with him for a piece of soy beef, he cried, made trouble, and hung himself. He did everything he could to sell his mother and his sister. If A Liang was willing to accept it, the bastard might even be able to do it to his father. Sold to A Liang, of course, A Liang was not merciful. In the end, he was so angry that Li Huai bared his teeth and wanted to fight with A Liang. To this day, the relationship between the big one and the small one is still tense.
A-Liang stretched out his thumb and pointed at the young man behind him who was flirting with him. He meant, have you seen it? Uncle A-Liang and I are very easy to get along in the world, so please be more respectful in the future.
Li Huai rolled his eyes, turned his head and spit on the ground.
A Liang said angrily: "Let's go, let's go."
A moment after the words fell, three mountain turtles with carapace as big as a round table climbed to the top one after another. Their carapace was Bright red, like a big ball of flame. When Young Tutu, who was holding a green bamboo stick, looked at them, the mountain turtle shrank his neck at the same time, and one thing fell after another. As the nominal mountain king of Qidun Mountain, Young Tutu was previously restricted by his cultivation. Over the past few hundred years, He has been unable to control the two snakes and pythons, but the other birds and beasts that have not yet matured are no different from the cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs kept by the people in the market in front of him.
Each mountain turtle carapace can accommodate three people. Young Earth is as careful as hair and nailed a low railing around the edge of the carapace. The material is strong hardwood sourced locally to serve as handrails. To prevent those distinguished guests from falling. Li Baoping, Li Huai and Lin Shouyi climbed onto the carapace one after another. Chen Pingan was called by Li Baoping to climb onto the carapace of the mountain tortoise she had chosen. A Liang accompanied Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, Zhu He and Zhu Lu. There is a pure place for father and daughter.
Li Huai was very excited. When Shan Gui started to move, the child's figure only swayed slightly, not bumpy at all. It was actually much more comfortable than the ox cart and carriage. Although it looked clumsy, Shan Gui The descent was not slow.
Li Huai was happy and beat A Liang's knees hard, "MyDear mother! This is the first time in my life that I have sat on the back of such a big turtle. Ah Liang, you wicked ghost has finally done something good! "
A Liang looked at Li Huai with pity, "You have grown so big, it seems that the folk customs in the town are very simple. "
Li Huai turned to look at Lin Shouyi, "Did A Liang say bad things about me? ”
Lin Shouyi was closing his eyes to rest, as if he was silently feeling the gentle breeze of the late spring mountain breeze, and turned a deaf ear to Li Huai’s questions.
Li Huai looked at him thily. Xiang Aliang, trying to find clues from the face and eyes of the man in the bamboo hat
Aliang said sternly: "That's a good thing.
Li Huai glanced at the long green sheath knife that A Liang had on his leg, then at the small silver gourd on his waist, and asked: "A Liang, can you play with the bamboo knife for me?" "
A Liang shook his head and said: "You are not suitable for using a knife. "
Li Huai frowned and said: "Then what weapon is suitable for me? ”
A Liang’s face was serious, “You can reason with people, convince them with reason, and convince them with virtue.” "
Li Huai sighed and said dejectedly: "It won't work. "
A Liang, who was just teasing children, was really a little strange, "Why? "
Li Huai raised his head and looked away. The green trees were lush, and the occasional spring flowers flashed by. The child whispered: "My voice is too low. My mother said, when we quarrel, whose fault is it?" Whoever has a loud voice has a point. But at home, my father doesn't like to talk and can't beat a stick with him. My sister also has a weak temper and is very boring. So when something happens at home, as long as my mother is not around, my father and sister will not talk. Individuals can only stare with big eyes and small eyes, which can make people anxious to death. In fact, I don't like to quarrel with others, but sometimes, when I sit on the wall and watch my mother having a rough neck with others, I am afraid that one day my mother will be old and can no longer quarrel. What should I do? Our family is already poor, and we don’t even have the money to repair a hole in the house. My father has no future, and my sister is destined to get married when she grows up. If there is no one to quarrel with, our family will Wouldn't he be bullied to death by outsiders? "
Lin Shouyi's expression moved slightly.
A Liang joked: "Tsk, tsk, you're so old, do you think so far?
The child said helplessly: "There is no way. My mother always said that I am the only one in the family who is the leader. Mr. Qi has taught us that people without long-term worries will have immediate worries, so I must not worry about the rain." ...What's that? "
A Liang smiled and helped say those two words: "Be prepared. "
Li Huai shook his head, "Lin Shouyi, what did Mr. Qi say about a gentleman?" "
Lin Shouyi opened his eyes and said slowly: "Hide the weapon with you and wait for the time to move." ”
Li Huai pointed at A Liang and said, “A Liang, you are just dangling half a bucket of water.” "
Lin Shouyi wanted to sit next to Chen Ping'an and Li Baoping. At least his ears were clean.
A Liang took off the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile "As for me, I made an agreement with the landowner of Qidun Mountain yesterday. When we parted, as compensation, heHe and the two evil beasts will take out a farewell gift. You have seen that long wooden box before. People in the world call it Hengbao Pavilion. It is similar to the erected treasure rack. It contains all the treasures. Valuable treasure, I originally promised to give you one each, and of course you, Li Huai, are no exception, but now, it’s gone. "
Li Huai was unmoved and said solemnly: "A-Liang, I know you have a hundred big ships in your belly! "
A Liang was stunned, "What a mess. "
Lin Shouyi said seemingly casually: "The prime minister's belly can support a boat. ”
A Liang slapped Li Huai on the head and laughed heartily.
Shangui chose a secluded mountain road to trek through mountains and rivers, which was relaxing and comfortable, making the group of people travel leisurely. In a place with beautiful scenery, A Liang asked Chen Pingan to take a rest. During this period, Chen Pingan passed by a small bamboo forest with bamboo poles as green as jade. He took the half-cut hatchet to chop two bamboos and divided them into two pieces. Sections of bamboo tubes of different lengths were put into the backpack. Knowing the reason, Li Huai jumped up and down with joy and shouted to carry the bookcase.
The three mountain turtles were lying in the distance, watching. When the boy in straw sandals was cutting bamboo, his fist-sized yellow eyes were full of admiration.
A Liang was drinking wine next to him, looking at the busy boy with nimble hands and feet, and said happily: "He has a good eye. , it’s a pity that shit luck... still no. ”
Before setting out on the road, the little girl in the red cotton jacket proposed to Zhu He that she wanted to sit alone with Zhu Lu. Zhu He naturally would not refuse, but only told his daughter to take good care of the young lady. Zhu Lu nodded. Zhu He then went to sit on the same turtle back as Chen Ping'an. The young man split the green bamboo tubes into pieces and strips. Now there was a lack of hemp rope, so the bamboo box needed to be fully formed at the earliest. It was time to reach the Red Candle Town.
Zhu He picked up a piece of bamboo and found that it was very light but quite strong. He thought of the green bamboo stick in the hands of young Qidun Mountain, and his heart suddenly felt. Obviously, the bamboo forest that was only one or two acres in size was definitely not ordinary bamboo. It might be one of the spring areas where Qidun Mountain’s spiritual energy gathered.
Zhu He really liked his young lady. , couldn't help but remind: "These bamboos have a lot of background, if it were an ordinary hatchet, it would have cracked or the edge would have been cut. So after these two book boxes are completed, my lady may be depressed, because in the end, her small bamboo box is the most ordinary. "
Chen Pingan was stunned, then turned to look at the mountain turtle behind him carrying Aliang and the others, and asked tentatively: "Is that bamboo forest related to the land of Qidun Mountain? "
A Liang nodded and said: "It can be regarded as his old foundation. It takes a hundred years to absorb the spiritual energy of the mountains to produce this emerald green color. It will take another four to five hundred years to hope to condense a little bit of the essence of green wood. But it's okay. The two bamboos you cut down are only about two hundred years old, and they won't cause that guy's heart to bleed. At most, it will only cause a slight pain in his body. It's nothing. ”
Chen Pingan sighed and gave up the idea of going back and cutting down another green bamboo..
A Liang asked: "What? You think there are two less? Do you want to help you pick some better bamboos?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Forget it. "
Zhu He asked curiously: "It takes less than half an hour to go back and forth, and it's not troublesome."
Chen Pingan glanced at the backpack at his feet and gathered around it. There was still a lot of room for bamboo strips and bamboo strips, but the young man still shook his head and said: "It's important to hurry."
Zhu He didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Xiwu Along the way, the emphasis is on the word 'sharpening'. If you don't fight with others and have no one to give you punches, you won't be able to practice well. So when we have free time, we will learn from each other. The ugly words are in front of us. It is said to be a competition, but I can't do anything but promise. I'll hurt you, and I won't be vague about my attacks, so be prepared for a bruised face."
Chen Ping'an said with a smile on his face, "Uncle Zhu, just hit him hard."

Before noon, Shan Gui had already walked half way up the mountain road. Everyone was at a pool under a waterfall. There was a clear division of labor. They were familiar with the way and were cooking. Chen Ping'an told the little girl about the small bamboo box. After talking for a while and listening to the reasons he quietly told her, the little girl smiled from ear to ear. Finally, her face was full of pride, she patted the small bamboo box beside her that was always with her every day, and said to her little uncle, "Oh my God." The best book box at the bottom is here, and she also nicknamed it Green Clothes.
After dinner, A Liang called Chen Pingan to the waterside of the deep green pool. The waterfall had a small volume of water, so the cold was not heavy. The two walked side by side. A Liang hesitated and asked. Said: "According to what you said before, you now own Luolu Mountain, Baolu Mountain, Caiyun Peak, Xiancao Mountain and Zhenzhu Mountain in the Xishan area of Longquan County, a total of five large and small mountains?"
Chen Pingan He nodded doubtfully, without hiding anything, and said slowly: "Among them, Luolu Mountain is the most valuable, Baolu Mountain is also good, and the other three are average, especially Zhenzhu Mountain, which is just an inconspicuous hill."
A Liang patted the handle of the knife gently with his palm, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The real value of these mountains now lies in the spiritual energy contained in them, which is far superior to the outside world. Therefore, along our journey, we are not just the five transformed monsters. Follow the Tiefu River, trying to enter your hometown, and absorb the spiritual energy from the tower near the water. In fact, there are many mandrills and monsters that have just become ignorant and are running towards that direction. However, in the end, which lucky ones can successfully occupy a corner depends on each of them. Is there any opportunity for good fortune?"
A Liang took a sip of wine and continued: "Don't think that if a spirit enters the mountain, it means that the family is being robbed, just like this impressive house. Qidunshan, why did the land allow two snakes and pythons to grow and grow little by little under his nose? The reason is simple. After he was stripped of his orthodox status, Qidunshan needed someone to retain his aura. Stand up and help him sit on the top of the mountain, defeat the evil spirit and absorb the energy."
Chen Ping'an asked: "Aliang, do you want me to invite the Qidun Mountain land or the Qi? Two snakes and pythons, going to my mountain? It's a bit like... looking after my home.? "
A Liang knelt down, picked up a stone at random, threw it into the pool, shook his head with a smile, "You are only half right, the edict of the righteous god of mountains and rivers is the top priority of the Dali court in the near future. Seriously, when it comes to dynasty power, outsiders are absolutely not allowed to interfere. So among the mountains in your hometown, which of them can have mountain gods recognized by the imperial court? They must be some dead people designated by Emperor Da Li's imperial pen. To be precise, they are heroic spirits. The land of Qidun Mountain has gone to the top of your mountain. The name is not justified, so what's going on? "
"Besides, even if your Luolu Mountain or Baolu Mountain is very lucky, the mountain god who has been granted the imperial edict has settled there, built a mountain temple, and erected a clay sculpture and gold statue, and you are eligible to enjoy incense. However, if a piece of land here has not been carefully reviewed by Qin Tianjian, it will not be able to become the mountain god of Luolu Mountain. He can only stay in Qidun Mountain, and there may be some hope. After all, he has had no merit and suffering in the past hundreds of years. Lao, not to mention causing any trouble, maybe Emperor Da Li would be lenient to him, and while upgrading Qidun Mountain, he would be promoted to Mountain God as a matter of course. So even if you beg him to go, he will not agree. To these landscape gods, the matter of the incense and fire gods is as important as the lives of ordinary people, or even more important, because as long as you take one step on this path, there will be no It’s time to turn back. "
Chen Pingan squatted beside A Liang and asked tentatively: "You want me to win over those two snakes and pythons? "
A Liang threw the stones and said with a smile: "It's a bit difficult to make a choice. Although those two beasts are not bad at birth, they have committed a lot of evil over the years and their reputations are not good..."
p>
Chen Pingan asked: "If I allow them to go to Luolu Mountain or Baolu Mountain, can they guarantee not to eat humans? "
A Liang was stunned for a moment, rubbed his chin and said: "Eating people? Under normal circumstances, with such abundant spiritual energy, it is too late to practice. However, after all, snakes and pythons belong to the genus of dragons. They are cold-blooded by nature. Occasionally, they may try to eat people when they are full. For example, if you are unlucky enough to be a mountain woodcutter or something like that, it will be hard to tell if you encounter them coming out of their caves to look for food. "
Chen Pingan asked again, "Can you tell them from the beginning that you can practice on my mountain, but you are not allowed to eat people? Ah Liang, is this okay?
The man in the bamboo hat asked back: "Aren't you afraid that if they say yes, they will turn back into the mountain, meet people, and kill them with one bite?" Anyway, you won’t be on the mountain recently.
Chen Pingan was full of energy and said slowly: "A Liang, didn't you say that there is an inn in Hongzhu Town? The inn can deliver letters. I can write a letter to Master Ruan and send Baolu Mountain to the inn." I will lease the three hills within it to him for an additional fifty years. If Master Ruan finds it too little, I can add another fifty years, and then ask Master Ruan to help me keep an eye on those two beasts, and punch anyone who dares to hurt anyone. Forget about dying, so as not to stay here in Qidun Mountain and harm others. Of course, this is the worst case scenario. "
"When the time comes, I will let the black snake who is expected to become Mo Jiao go to Luopo Mountain to help me accumulate wealth year after year. Aliang, you said that if a snake python, successfully walks the river and transforms into a dragon, then the place where it first walked the river will also receive great luck, right? I can even be shameless and beg Master Ruan to let me live in Baolu Mountain. Think about it, if even the white python can cross the river, then I will make a lot of money. It just so happens that I am worried. After buying the mountain, I have always been unsure. If there are black snakes and white pythons settling on the mountain, I will probably feel that these mountains are not in vain. Every day, it seems like a lot of copper coins fall into my pocket, clatter... "
A Liang looked at the gushing young man with a dull expression, somewhat dumbfounded, and asked with complicated emotions: "Chen Pingan, do you like making money so much? "
Chen Ping'an looked shocked and asked: "Is there anyone in the world who doesn't like making money? "
A Liang held up his bamboo hat and didn't want to talk, so as not to play the piano to the cow.
The man sighed and said with a smile: "I thought you would refuse righteously. "
Chen Pingan was confused, "Why do you think so? "
A Liang washed his face with water, turned around and said with a smile: "For example, it was too late to kill those two evil beasts. Although I, Chen Pingan, am poor, my old Chen family has a very upright family tradition. How could I be willing to let them into my house? Crack, bang, a big pass, I was already prepared to be punished. "
Chen Pingan calmed down, picked up a stone, and gently threw it into the pool. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and patted A-Liang on the shoulder, "A-Liang, you are still too young. "
The man in the bamboo hat raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, it seems that he is in a good mood and even jokes. "
Chen Ping'an also raised his eyebrows like a man, and he actually felt quite mean.
A Liang laughed and stood up.
< p>Chen Pingan stood up and suddenly remembered something, and asked worriedly: "A Liang, the key is, are those two snakes and pythons really willing to move? ”A Liang smiled but didn’t say anything.
Chen Pingan saw the man in the bamboo hat and put his palm against the handle of the knife.
A Liang patted The handle of the knife joked: "So you should quickly practice martial arts and boxing, and then learn the sword later, because you are willing to be reasonable, and you will need this when others are unreasonable. "
Chen Ping'an was noncommittal.
The two walked back to the place together, and Ah Liang asked curiously: "Why didn't you chop down more bamboos before? There is no such good thing like this in this village, and you won’t be able to buy it if you have money in the future. ”
Chen Ping’an replied casually: “Someone said before that people should be content and accept things when they are good. ”
A Liang couldn’t laugh or cry, “It’s just such nonsense, you really listened to it?” "
Chen Pingan held the back of his head with both hands. It was rare for him to be so lazy and leisurely. His head shook like a bamboo in the forest swaying slightly in the breeze. The young man said softly: "Because I have never heard anything since I was a child. It's a great truth, so it's hard to hear one or two sentences, and it's hard to forget them. "
Zhu He suddenly shouted in the distance:"Chen Pingan, let's find an open space to join hands?"
The young man ran away, "Okay!"
