Chapter 179 Adding soil

After seeing the hilltop of his home, Chen Ping'an started running wildly, no longer caring about walking or standing, and there was no sentimentality at all. Chen Pingan just kept running, taking up most of the bags of soil in his backpack. The layers of soil were piled on top of each other, rustling with the ups and downs of his shoulders.

The boy in green and the girl in pink skirt followed behind. The former looked around. In fact, after approaching the boundary of Longquan County in Dali, the two had long noticed a strange spiritual energy. They felt comfortable and relaxed. The big mountain in sight made the water snake gulp down and salivate, as if it had seen a large table of the most sumptuous meal.

The boy in Tsing Yi once mentioned inadvertently before that for dragons like them, eating rosy clouds and drinking dew are only inferior methods of cultivation and their progress is slow. Only by melting the roots of mountains and swallowing water can they be brave and diligent. The right path.

It’s a pity that the famous mountains and rivers that are full of spiritual energy are either separatist by the Xian family and are regarded as forbidden places, or they have long established temples to gods and goddesses enshrined by the imperial court. Jiang Ze, the great demon, does not dare to get involved easily. Once it comes to enlightenment and immortality, especially ghosts and spirits, not to mention friends and confidants on the path of cultivation, I am afraid that even my parents will not recognize him.

On the other hand, the fire python, who has been imbued with the aroma of books since childhood, is much more reserved than the boy in green. It is obvious that they are both branch of the dragon family, and the opportunities for their enlightenment are very different.

Approaching the foot of Luolu Mountain, Chen Pingan slowed down. With his excellent eyesight, he found that dust was flying in many places on the mountain. This made Chen Pingan feel nervous. It stands to reason that there is a saint, Master Ruan, to help look after Luolu Mountain. There shouldn't be any surprises. Wei Bo, the landowner of Qidun Mountain, had promised to build a bamboo house on this mountain before. However, a small bamboo house should be built, and then Wei Bo should build it. I will never stay long when I return home. Why is there still such a weird look on Luolu Mountain that there is a lot of construction going on at this moment?

Could it be that the black python refused to change its bad habits and chose people to eat on its own mountain, which angered the county government and sent people to the mountain to encircle and suppress them?

Chen Pingan was about to hurriedly ask the boy in Tsing Yi to transform into his true form so that he could quickly climb the mountain. Suddenly he remembered a sentence he had recently seen in a book, which was about the principle of not panicking when encountering difficulties. The words were very beautiful. , just reading it twice made Chen Pingan feel a little less tacky. He had even carved it on the bamboo slips before, so Chen Pingan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and silently told himself, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. What is said in the book is actually the same as porcelain drawing."

Just as he was about to start climbing, Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed. When he looked intently, he saw a man dressed in white. The acquaintance stood at the foot of the mountain with a smile and blurted out: "Wei Bo!"

The girl in the pink skirt couldn't help but wowed. Silly girl was doubly surprised. This was the first person she had seen in her life after the young Cui Chan. The second immortal figure in front of her was unnaturally handsome. She immediately blushed and hid behind her master Chen Pingan.

The boy in Tsing Yi was stunned on the spot, then turned around and asked angrily: "Master, this guy is trying to grab territory.of? "

"Of course not. "

Chen Ping'an shook his head and smiled. He looked at Tu Tu Ye, who had a more elegant and unrestrained temperament than in Qidun Mountain, and asked curiously: "Why are you still in Luolu Mountain? Don’t you, the gods of mountains and rivers, have to leave your own realm for too long?

Wei Bo smiled and said: "What a coincidence, now I have moved to Piyun Mountain and become your neighbor. Chen Pingan, I must take care of you in the future." ”

Speaking of this, the righteous god of Beiyue of Shenshui Kingdom who fell from the altar in the past and is now about to be the honored god of the co-lord of Beiyue of Dali actually even made a joke to Chen Ping’an.

Chen Pingan was not embarrassed to accept this bow, so he turned away and asked with a smile: "Is the bamboo building finished?

Wei Bo straightened up and nodded: "It's done. No corners were cut during the storage. It's on Luolu Mountain. Can I take you to take a look?" I originally picked a Feng Shui treasure land that was easiest for it to take root, but it was taken over by the mountain temple in Luolu Mountain, so I had to change the site. But it was not bad, the view was broad, the sky was high, the scenery was beautiful, I If you have anything to do this year, just go there and stay there. In the future, you are not allowed to cross the river and burn the bridge to drive me away. ”

The girl in the pink skirt felt that the guy in front of her was good-looking and had a good temper. Then the little girl felt a little proud. Her master was so awesome, and even the friends he made were so cool and unrestrained.

The more the boy in Tsing Yi looked, the more he felt guilty. Suddenly, without warning, Wei Bo in white bared his teeth and claws and made an intimidating gesture towards him. The boy in Tsing Yi was so frightened that he flew back ten feet. Wei Bo laughed heartily. , "With the black python on the mountain, our Luolu Mountain will be lively." "

Chen Pingan corrected him sternly: "Luoluo Mountain is not yours.

Wei Bo said helplessly: "Yes, yes, you, Chen Pingan, are the master, and I am just a guest, okay?"

The group of people started to climb the mountain. Wei Bo explained to Chen Ping'an considerately: "Now these large and small hills to the west of the town are all owned by famous people. They are all breaking ground and are busy." In addition to opening up roads on the mountain, there are also the construction of pavilions and so on.

There is a mountain temple like Luopo Mountain, which is even busier. The Ministry of Industry of the Dali Imperial Court is responsible for spending huge sums of money. In addition to the nearly ten thousand people of the Lu Dynasty, In addition to being able to drive the prisoners and refugees free of charge, the Longquan County Government and the County Government also hired many of your local youths to help build fairy mansions and never give up until they create a fairyland on earth. , which is a waste of time and money.

Wei Bo pointed to the wide loess floor, "In the future, this place will be paved with stone slabs transported from other places. Anyway, it is no worse than the bluestone floor in Taoye Lane, Fulu Street." "

Chen Ping'an asked carefully: "You don't need to pay for it yourself?

Wei Bo pointed to the sky with a smile, "As long as you don't want to build a rope bridge in the sky and get involved with other mountains, then there is no need to spend a single copper coin." "

Chen Pingan was shocked and said: "Did someone do this? "

Wei Bo nodded and said: "Yes.Ah, there are more than one or two families. Among several hills in the north, families have been dispatched to worship, or Qi practitioners who have spent a lot of money to build Dongtian Paradise have begun to build long bridges. One of them is not an iron cable plank bridge, but Stone Bridge, I heard that all the stones were salvaged from the lake. I estimate that it would have cost over a million taels of silver from start to finish. But the effect is definitely nothing to say. Walking on the stone bridge, the smoke is lingering in the air, and watching the sunrise and sunset, the clouds rolling in and out, makes my heart beat. "

Chen Ping'an clicked his tongue and said: "So they are so rich. "

Wei Bo joked: "If you are willing to sell a Caiyun Peak or Xiancao Mountain, you will immediately become a very rich man, and you can be so extravagant. "

Chen Ping'an said angrily: "What are you thinking about? What do I want those frivolous things to do? The hills are the foundation of my life." ”

Wei Bo laughed loudly.

A money fan is still a money fan.

The second realm is still the second realm.

The straw sandals have been changed into pairs. , but the boy is still the same boy.

The boy in Tsing Yi hates Wei Bo and wants to kick him in the butt.

All the way up the mountain, I saw several groups of remnants of the prisoners from the Lu Dynasty, some old and young, some young and some women. Most of them were haggard and looked haggard. However, the soldiers of the Dali army who were supervising the work should have received instructions from the imperial court and had not expressed any concern. These subjugated people deliberately made things difficult, and some old and weak people who fainted were helped by their relatives and friends to the burning stove and fed them a few mouthfuls of hot water.

Wei Boyun said lightly: " The situation was not so good at the beginning. Lu's prisoners were beaten to death from exhaustion, freezing, and of course some were beaten to death or committed suicide due to unbearable humiliation. In just two months, there were more than 600 of them. Later, Wu Yuan, who was promoted to Longquan County Governor on the spot, submitted a memorial to the court at the risk of losing his official title, which stopped the sharp decline in the number of refugees. "

Chen Ping'an said doubtfully: "The county guard? "

Wei Bo stretched out his hand and drew a big circle, "It used to be that Lizhu Cave was a vast territory with a radius of thousands of miles. Even now, the border areas are occupied by neighboring states and counties, and they are all looking for people in the court. They helped to talk and plead for mercy, and then divided up some of it, but if Longquan was still just a county, it still couldn't be controlled. Even if it was upgraded to Longquan County, it was still a bit far-fetched. "

Chen Pingan nodded. Along the way, he had a clear understanding of the size of the territories of states, counties and counties in various countries. After all, it was measured step by step. He asked: "Chess That black python from Dunshan didn't cause any trouble when it came here, right?

Wei Bo shook his head and said: "It has been practicing diligently in Luopo Mountain and has never hurt anyone. Now even if it goes out to find water and is bumped into by someone on the way, it will no longer be surprised and everything will be fine." . Some bold local youths dared to throw stones at it from a distance, but it tolerated it.

Chen Pingan frowned and said: "This is not okay. I have to find someone to explain it clearly. Wei Bo, do you know who is responsible here?"? Regardless of the outcome, I have to make it clear first that there is no reason to bully people like this. "

"Where is the bullying of 'people'? It is a mountain python that has just awakened.

Wei Bo laughed dumbly at first, and then joked: "Besides, the black python has rough skin and thick flesh. Even if someone cuts it hard several times, it doesn't hurt or itch. Chen Ping'an, you don't need to make a fuss." What's more, if I remember correctly, you don't have a good opinion of the black python. Why are you starting to favor it now that you've just returned to Luo Luo Mountain? ”

“If the black python dares to hurt someone first, I will hire someone to kill it during this meeting. I am willing to pay for it.” "

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "But if it doesn't, then it doesn't matter whether it is in Luolu Mountain or not. In any place, as long as the black python goes up and down the mountain peacefully, there will be people there. Taking the initiative to provoke it is not fun at all, it is called seeking death. If I dared to do this, I would have died a hundred times in the mountains. "

"That makes sense.

Wei Bo narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Looking back on this matter, I just want to say hello for you. I am familiar with the relationship between these mountains." ”

The girl in pink skirt put her hands on the rope of the bamboo box in front of her, full of curiosity.

For such a big mountain, after walking for so long without reaching the halfway point, there are actually all It belongs to my master.

The master is really not bragging, he is really rich!

The boy in Qingyi felt a little refreshed after hearing the long-lost truth. Of course, it was not what he thought. How reasonable, but he refuted the invisible fairy in white, which made the boy in green feel very excited.

Chen Pingan asked casually: "Wei Bo, do you know Ruan Xiu? She is a girl from the blacksmith shop by the Longxu River. "

Wei Bo pretended to be thinking, and then suddenly realized: "You are talking about the daughter of the saint Ruan Qiong. I have seen her several times from a distance. The Shenxiu Mountain in her home is now Dali. Chaotinghua worked hard to build it. She went to the mountain several times to see the progress, and she would visit mountains such as Baolu Mountain and Caiyun Peak. Before the bamboo building was built, she also came to Luolu Mountain once, and behind her hands , just watching me busy on the roof of the bamboo building, and asked me if I wanted to help, but I didn't agree, and the little girl just looked up for a long time, which made me feel embarrassed. In the end, she didn't know what Time passed quietly.

Chen Pingan turned to the girl in pink skirt and the boy in Tsing Yi and smiled: "Miss Ruan is a very good friend of mine. I have two shops in the town, and she helps me take care of them. You guys When he saw her, he called her Sister Ruan. "

The girl in pink skirt nodded immediately, "Okay! ”

The boy in Tsing Yi was a little reluctant, “At my age, I can be considered her ancestor, so why should I call her sister? I have lost eighteen generations in vain...”

Chen Ping'an was very happy. It was rare that he was not stingy. He said richly: "Go back.I'll give you both an ordinary snake gallstone. "

The girl in pink skirt cheered and jumped up and down.

The boy in green asked in a daze, "Master, if I call her madam, can I give her one more snake gall bladder?" stone? "

Chen Ping'an rubbed his forehead, "When the time comes, Miss Ruan will beat you to death, and I won't stop her. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi was startled, and suddenly remembered the “daughter of Saint Ruan Qiong” that Wei Bo mentioned succinctly. Regarding the behavior style of Saint Ruan Qiong of Zhenwu Mountain, even Huang Tingguo and Yu Jiang had heard about it. It was really He is so domineering and unreasonable, how can there be a saint who drags people into his own territory and then kills him on the spot?

The boy in green immediately laughed and said: "I will be polite and respectful to Sister Ruan?" . I will also help the master keep an eye on the silly girl, so that she will not accidentally use inappropriate words, annoy Sister Ruan, and then cause death, and finally make it difficult for you, master..."

Chen Ping An tried his best to hold back his laughter, and deliberately did not introduce the girl's gentle temperament. Instead, he hummed with a straight face, nodded and said: "When you meet, you must be polite. "

After going around and around, Wei Bo finally took the lead and walked on a bluestone path, laughing at himself: "I temporarily paved the path under our feet. I collected some rocks from the mountain stream. Chen Ping'an, you might as well turn back. Changed. "

Chen Ping'an walked on the solid and neat gravel road and said with a smile: "If you don't change it, that's good. ”

Everyone’s vision suddenly opened up, and they saw a two-story bamboo building. It was green in color and exquisite in appearance. The key was that the bamboo building faced the great mountains and rivers.

Bamboo On the ground floor, there were several cute little bamboo chairs with small thatched futons on them.

Chen Pingan's eyes were dull and his mouth was wide open. He was so shocked.

Ben. I thought that Wei Bo had promised to build a bamboo building, and it was already good without any twists and turns.

How could I have imagined that it would be so good?

After Chen Pingan came back to his senses. , asked softly: “Is it mine? "

Wei Bo smiled and said: "Of course.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said, "Wei Bo, Luopo Mountain will be half of your home from now on. You can live wherever you want."

Wei Bo smiled and said, "Hey, are you changing your tune now?" Who said before that Luolu Mountain is not 'ours'? "

Chen Ping'an chuckled and said: "Wei Bo, you are a dignified landowner in Qidunshan, but you have a lot of experience and low prices like me.

Wei Bo laughed loudly and stretched out his hand to tap the young man, "After all, there are some changes. This study trip was not in vain." ”

Then Wei Bo watched as they ran to the first and second primary schools on the second floor of the bamboo building, then lay side by side on the railing and looked up into the distance. There was a taller big head and two shorter little ones. The head, viewed from Wei Bo's side, actually looks like a hill.

"Sir, the scenery here is great. Can we live here in the future?" ”

“Of course. ”

“Master, pleaseGive it to me here. I can ask for one less common snake gallstone. How about that? ”

“No. ”

As if infected by their cheerful mood, Wei Bo, who was no longer the land lord of Qidun Mountain, turned around and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance with a smile.

Living with the Good People , just like entering Zhilan's room, you will feel better after a while

————

Chen Ping'an took them down the mountain to the small town. Wei Bo disappeared, and his figure had disappeared. After disappearing, the boy in green reminded in a low voice: "You are so sneaky, you don't look like a good bird at first glance! Master, don't deal with that guy in the future. I am a mature and prudent person. ”

Chen Pingan ignored him.

Climbing the mountains and ridges with familiar roads, when the three of them saw the houses in the west of the town in the distance, Chen Pingan sighed softly. Tone.

After climbing up the inconspicuous Pearl Mountain, Chen Pingan had already looked at his hometown and pointed out the approximate locations of many places to the two guys around him.

For example, the Mubo Lane where my ancestral home is located, the school where Mr. Qi taught, Qilong Lane with two shops, Fulu Street and Taoye Lane where most letters are sent, the blacksmith shop outside the town, the Shenxian in the east Tombs and Lao Porcelain Mountain in the north, etc.

Only the stone bridge that had returned to its original appearance, Chen Ping'an just glanced at it from the corner of his eye when he looked at the blacksmith shop, not only did he not introduce anything. Details, not even an obvious pause in the eyes.

I have seen with my own eyes the dangers and strangeness of the world outside, so I must be careful.

The boy in green said arrogantly: "Master, Should we go to Qilong Lane first to see the Caotou Shop and the New Year Shop? "

Chen Ping'an said softly: "Go to my parents' graves first. ”

The three of them did not go through the town, but walked downstream along the river.

Silently walked past the stone bridge with no old sword strips, and passed by the towering After building a blacksmith shop with low thatched houses and tall sword furnaces, Chen Ping'an finally came to the small grave. He took off his backpack and took out cotton bags no bigger than his fist to add soil to the grave.

On the dark face of the young man, there was neither a sad look or a look of returning to his hometown in fine clothes.

The young man who had traveled thousands of miles through mountains and rivers returned to his hometown. The first thing I did was to quietly open the bags and add a handful of soil to my parents' graves.
