Chapter 185 The sword embryo is in the palm of your hand

The locust wood sword that Qi Jingchun secretly cut out from the locust tree branches that Li Baoping moved and then quietly placed in Chen Ping'an's backpack was inhabited by a golden incense villain of unknown origin.

After two brief appearances at Qiulu Inn and Cao's Zhilan Mansion, the shy incense villain never appeared again. Chen Ping'an let it happen naturally and did not force anything.

As the night fell, in Yang's shop, the old man smoked a cigarette, frowned, stretched out his hand, and the little incense man fell from the void to the ground.

Old man Yang said coldly: "Qi Jingchun tried so hard to hide you. What do you want to do?"

She stood timidly on the ground, seeming to be afraid of this old man, holding her hands tightly He tightly grasped the corner of his clothes and moved his lips slightly.

The more Old Man Yang listened, the more he wrinkled his face. He pondered for a long time, "I agreed."

He knocked the cigarette pole on the ground, rolled out of a small temple, and stood in front of the Incense Temple. in front of people.

The incense man was full of joy and was about to walk in when he suddenly raised his head and stopped talking.

Old man Yang said with a cold face: "Of course it is best to know everything, but if you can't do that, just don't know anything at all. Only in this way can you live a good life."

The incense villain still seemed a little hesitant and wanted to return to Mud Bottle Alley to say goodbye to the young man.

Old man Yang lifted up the cigarette stick again and blew out thick smoke, "You are really smart when you put all your wisdom in your belly. Do you really think that kid doesn't want to think about anything, except practicing boxing, and he knows how to do good things all day long? That good fortune boy? You're so stupid for following him."

The little incense man pouted, a little discouraged, but when she walked into the small temple, Suddenly stunned.

She is like an extremely small grain of rice, placed in a large vat.

On the tall walls in the small temple, names shine brightly, emitting different colors of brilliance.

Above the head of the little incense man, the stars are bright and bright.

The old man put away his cigarette rod, clasped his hands behind his back, walked out of the drug store with a stooped posture, and walked out of the town. When he passed the stone arch bridge, he sighed, full of regret and confusion, and slowly got off the stone bridge and walked along the stone arch bridge. Following the Longxu River, he came to the outside of the blacksmith shop. Instead of walking into it, he came to the river and lightly stamped his feet. The river god woman immediately flew backwards from the bottom of the river. Her soul was shaken and she was a little dizzy. She found that it was Yang After the old man came, he immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "Why do you need to use your supreme magical power? Just give me a shout."

Old man Yang said expressionlessly: "Go to the source of Longxu River immediately and disperse on your own initiative. The half-gold body blended into the river water, helping Ruan Qiong add the gloomy weight of the water."

The young woman was stunned.

The old man said it was easy to cut off half of the golden body, but the pain he suffered during the process and the damage to the road were immeasurable.

The woman wished she could escape thousands of miles away.

It’s a pity that she can’t escape.

Old man Yang added: "It's done. If Ruan Qiong succeeds in making the sword, I'll help you get a river temple. In fifty or sixty years at most, you will be able to restore your complete golden body. After hundreds of thousands of years, your incense will not be lost. Absolutely, this is a long-term profit, you will definitely make it."

The woman was submissive and said in a weak voice, "It would be too painful to break half of the golden body. I'm afraid of the pain... …”

The old man didn’t speak, just looked at the sparkling Longxu River.

The woman asked cautiously: "Great Immortal, can I refuse?"

Old man Yang nodded and said: "Yes."

The woman was secretly delighted. Yu was greatly surprised. When did this great immortal become so reasonable?

Old man Yang sneered and said: "I will smash your entire golden body, and the effect will be better. Don't worry, after your soul disappears tonight, I will make compensation for your descendants in the future."

The woman was a little desperate. After thinking about it, she asked in a trembling voice: "Great Immortal, can the blessing only fall on my grandson?"

Her heart was full of luck, because She knew that no matter how fair the great immortal acted, it was actually different when it came to her grandson Ma Kuxuan.

But Old Man Yang still refused on the spot, "No."

The woman's face was ashen and she said sadly: "Then I'd better go to the source of Longxu River."

p>

Old Yang was noncommittal.

The River Goddess gritted her teeth and began to swim upstream along the river, passing through the stone arch bridge that looked nothing out of the ordinary, and headed straight into the mountains. < /p>

"Forging swords is not a business."

Old man Yang shook his head and said: "However, I can help conceal your daughter's true identity for thirty years, but you must make sure to make it as soon as possible. That sword, this is the deal I want to make."

Ruan Qiong looked normal and said with a smile: "Real identity?"

The old man said calmly: "You are just Ruan Qiong. You need to nod or shake your head."

Ruan Qiong felt a little aggrieved, but still nodded.

The old man smiled and said, "Looking back, it was worth it."

Ruan Qiong asked a strange question, "Then what is considered 'not worth it'?"

The old man smiled and said: "Ruan Qiong, it's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."

Ruan Qiong frankly said frankly: "You, Wei Bo, the eldest grandson of the Li family, I have to keep an eye on you three."

The old man nodded, then shook his head and said: "It might be better if Li Xisheng and I were reversed."

Ruan Qiong. He asked with a smile: "A thousand years or ten thousand years from now?"

The old man stopped talking.

Once we enter the troubled times when a hundred schools of thought contend, heroes, geniuses and heretics will spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain, crazily breaking out of the ground, and overnight, they will become a new world-changing one.scene.

The old man has seen that magnificent scene more than once.

After all, Ruan Qiong is only a saint from the military family, not a saint like the Yin Yang family. Although he has seen very far, such as the growth of his daughter Ruan Xiu, it is still not far enough.

The old man suddenly said, "Of course it's not worth it. What's the use of two ordinary people gathering their souls? The price they need to pay for it is not small. If it were Ma Kuxuan, of course the two "Say."

Ruan Qiong asked with a smile: "Senior didn't think highly of Chen Ping'an from the beginning?"

Old man Yang said expressionlessly: "It's okay if someone thinks highly of him."< /p>

————

Beishangyi Road was reopened to traffic, making the already lively Hongzhu Town even more prosperous.

At night, a painting boat with green bamboo curtains leisurely sailed out of the inlet and headed towards the town. Just as it entered the river that bisected the town, there was business. A rich old man in brocade and a middle-aged strong man in coarse linen, who looked like a rich man and his nursing home servant, went out to drink wine.

The painting boat is of medium size. There are five boatwomen, two of them are rowing the boat, two of them are playing the piano and cooking wine. The remaining one is a beautiful girl with the most outstanding appearance, sitting next to the old man and serving her carefully, as if The little bird clings to the human, which made the old man in Jinyi laugh heartily, and pointed at the simple man opposite, "How about it, Lao Xie, a man relies on his clothes and gold, isn't the old saying true?"

The old man was a thick-skinned man. When he took the drink, he took the opportunity to touch the back of the boat girl's hand. He also winked and raised his eyebrows at the graceful woman. The boat girl was so disgusted that she had to force herself to look good. It was just a joke. The old man didn't care about this and took a sip of wine. "You are not familiar with me, but I am familiar with you. Your reputation as Lao Xie has spread from the northeast to our south. Every time When I told my old friends about you, after they learned that you were from the same hometown as me, they all asked me for help in recommending you, saying that it was a pity not to meet such a great hero."

This man is just a man. Frowning in silence, he lowered his head and drank.

The old man has two beards. He is sitting cross-legged, with his head tilted, looking at the feasting and feasting on the shore. He is spinning the wine glass with one hand and stroking his beard with the fingers of the other hand. This look of dignity may seem indecent to others. What's more, the old man sat cross-legged, with his knees deliberately touching the plump buttocks of the woman next to him. Even the woman who was used to seeing romance regretted not sitting next to the taciturn man.

When the old man raised his arm to stroke his beard, a length of sleeve was exposed. The boatgirls in the boat who were good at observing people were a little disappointed. It turned out that the old man had a long green rope tied around his wrist. If it were worn on the hand of a child, On the hand, it is somewhat slender and cute, but when worn on the old man's hand, it is really neither fish nor fowl.

The old man suddenly looked away,He asked the beautiful women around him, "You ladies in love, do you believe in the oath of eternal love?"

Not only did she not know how to answer, but the other boatmen's girls also looked at each other in confusion, wondering what medicine the old man was selling.

The old man laughed loudly and pointed to the man opposite, "It's really useful to find him. He is a mountain king, in charge of many mountains, and the mountain alliances are oaths to each other. The mountain alliances here..."< /p>

The man frowned and said nothing, drinking slowly and absent-mindedly.

The old man pointed to himself, "Actually, it's useful to look for me. There is a very tall building under the sky. It's called Zhenhai Tower. It's on the seaside, and my home is near Zhenhai Tower. "

The man finally couldn't help it and said with a displeased face, "Cao, what are you doing showing off to them?"

The old man took a sip of wine and took a handful of it. While eating the food and wine with his chopsticks, he squinted at the man, "It's interesting to talk about this with them who don't understand anything. It's boring to show off this to people on the mountain."

The man's brows were full of gloom. Drinking alone.

The oath of eternal love, in the marketplace of secular dynasties, is now mostly mentioned by storytellers who travel everywhere, and is often used for love between men and women. Its true meaning has long been unknown to ordinary people.

In fact, this statement is quite important to the people on the mountain. It means that practitioners can swear to the mountain and the sea respectively. The oath has an indescribable binding force. It’s black and white, but it still works.

As long as the mountain is one of the Five Sacred Mountains enshrined by the imperial court in the country, it will be fine. The higher the level of the Qi practitioner, the higher the quality requirements for the mountains. Most of them are alliances between big powers, or As time goes by, matchmakers and marriage contracts gradually become the majority of business contracts. Oaths to each other have lost most of their meaning. Because with the death of the last true dragon in the world, all the world's five lakes and seas, and the nine territories outside the Nine Continents, have no owners. The secular dynasties have no power to entrust the righteous gods from all over the world, so there is no legitimate water god who can come forward. Rule over the five giant lakes and the four vast seas.

It is said that the sun rises in the east and sets on the Western Mountains. This place where the sun rises is somewhere in the East China Sea.

The old man surnamed Cao did not care about the man's feelings at all. He ate the food that went with the wine and chewed loudly. He put his hand on the thigh of the woman beside him and asked with a smile: "This beautiful sister, you know "Xiong Zhenlou?"

The woman shook her head.

"How can this be done!" The old man gently patted the woman's strong and elastic thigh, "Brother Rong, let me tell you, in our world, there are nine fortune towers built by who knows who. The buildings stand in nine places, namely Zhenshan, Zhenguo, Zhenhai, Zhenmo, Zhenyao, Zhenxian, Zhenjian and Zhenlong. These eight majestic tall buildings that tower into the clouds and almost reach the sky are all two. The name, except for the last one, is three characters, which is the weirdest, called..."

The man clapped his chopsticks and said angrily: "That's enough, Cao Xi, are you finished?"

As the chopsticks were slapped on the table, at the same time, all the boat girls fell into a strange state. It did not hinder their breathing, and their hand movements were skillful and unobstructed, but they seemed to be unaware of the people nearby on the boat. The two foreign guests, who were very close to each other, completely turned a blind eye and ignored them.

"Now that we are all here, our identities will soon be seen through. You, Xie Shi, are a person who came out of Lizhu Cave after all. If you deliberately hide your identity, it will make people suspicious. It is better to be like I walk into the town swaggering like this, and I might as well have a fight to show Da Li, so that they don't take a land swordsman seriously."

When Cao Xi said this, he looked at me. He glanced at the man across from him and said with a smile: "It is said that Ju Luzhou's people are honest and upright, just like the scorching sun above their heads. They never do anything bad in their lives. Why, are we going to make an exception this time?"

Cao Xi leaned forward, picked up a pickled radish from a small pink-green porcelain plate, and threw it into his mouth, "It's just a piece of broken porcelain. As long as you speak and nod, I will help you." Deal with it. Xie Shi, I’m not telling you, you said we’ve gotten into this, why are you still leading us around?”

The man sneered. : "Aren't you afraid that Feng Da will flash his tongue? The guy who bought your Benming porcelain is someone who is easy to talk to?"

Cao Xi said with a surprised look on his face: "Why, Lao Xie, you are not well-informed. Didn't you hear that a junior in my family has just been engaged to a direct descendant of the Chen family? The Chen family asked an expert from the Lu family to help with a fortune telling. Guess what? Eight characters: Beloved! Beautiful couple, a match made in heaven! This is really not something I am bragging about. It is really not a small matter in our continent." How can you still look so proud?"

Cao Xi was as thick as a wall and asked, "How can I be so embarrassed? Ancestor, why are you not happy?"

Xie Shi crossed his arms and said in a deep voice with narrowed eyes: "Tell me, why are you calling me here, if it's about that piece of porcelain? You don’t need to say anything anymore, I won’t promise you, it’s my own business, not to mention I can’t trust you, Cao Xi.”

Cao Xi sighed and rubbed his eyes, “You are worthy of being famous all over the world.” Xie Daxia, this awe-inspiring and upright person is really dazzling. I have to rub my eyes quickly, otherwise I can’t stand it..."

This seemingly absurd old man, the green silk on his wrist The rope appears again.

Everyone in Nan Posuo Continent knows that Cao Xi’s swordsmanship is not top-notch among land swordsmen, but his sword, as a magical weapon, is enough to rank among the top ten in the continent.

Cao Xi’s wrist is actually hung with a veritable river of water, rolling and flowing.

This river is Cao Xi’s sword.

Xie Shi has already heard about these news from other continents that are not secrets, but even so, he still directlyAsked: "Do you need a fight to shut up?"

Cao Xi just ate food and drank, shaking his head and said: "Everyone in Posuo Island says that I, Cao Xi, am moody and have a perverse temperament. Xie Shi, you Do you think it’s difficult to deal with people like me?”

Xie Shi began to close his eyes and focus.

Whenever a passenger boarded the boat and the business was concluded, the boatwoman would take off a lantern hanging at a fixed position on the bow to indicate that the boat was full and would no longer accept passengers.

Cao Xi shook his chopsticks and said, "That's wrong, that's a big mistake. The most difficult person to deal with in the world is someone like you Xie Shi. It's so difficult to get along with him."

Xie Shi closed his eyes, "My patience is limited."

Cao Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. Some people can't see the rise of the Song family in Dali, but you, Xie Shi, are stubborn and keep your promises. , had to go out of the mountain, so that the trip to Hanging Mountain had to be delayed."

"Unfortunately, the genteel Chen didn't like Qi Jingchun, and had a very bad impression of Da Li before. , but now I have changed my mind. The reason is unknown, and I don’t care. Anyway, the Chunru Chen family not only opened a school in a small town in the name of the Chen family of Longwei County, Aquarius Continent, but also let me go on this long journey, which is considered a blessing. The gift money given to my descendant is to stop you from showing off."

"Although I don't know the specific plan, I will keep an eye on you if I continue to appear here."

Xie Shi did not open his eyes, and said sarcastically, "Are you sure you can stop me?"

Cao Xi finally finished eating the various dishes on the small plates, put down his chopsticks, and He said confidently: "I'm not sure if I can beat you, but I'm sure I can stop you."

Xie Shi suddenly opened his eyes and turned around to look.

A young-looking swordsman did not hang his sword or carry his sword on his back, but placed his sword horizontally behind his back, his elbows resting lazily on the scabbard, smiling like this. He looked at Xie Shi.

This man was in the ghost mansion of the married woman with the plaque "Beautiful Waters and High Winds" hanging there. He could not get out of the scabbard more than an inch, so he blocked the land sword with a small mountain range that he moved in front of him. Immortal Wei Jin's sharp sword.

In Red Candle Town, he met and drank with A Liang. On the Xiuhua River ferry, he greeted Chen Pingan again. It seemed that it was Chen Pingan's first time to salute with clasped fists. In the end, he and one of his subordinates, Liu Yu, took Qidunshan Wei Bo to Longquan.

The Shenxiantai Wei and Jin Dynasties called him "that one from the Mohist family".

————

Chen Pingan sat in the room for a long time facing the locust wood sword. In the end, he found that he couldn’t calm down no matter what, he couldn’t read or practice calligraphy. No, not even walking piles and sword furnaces.

Chen Ping'an then carried a basket on his back, loaded up his locust wood sword, left his ancestral home, walked out of Mu Bottle Alley, and rushed straight to Luo Luo Mountain.

When he appeared in front of the bamboo building, the boy in green and the girl in pink were shocked.

Chen Pingan walked up to the second floor of the Bamboo Building, and his heart suddenly became calm.Come down.

The girl in pink skirt wanted to follow, but was grabbed by the neck by the boy in green. He gently lectured: "You are really stupid, didn't you see that the master was not in a good mood?"

The girl in the pink skirt looked confused.

The boy in green pulled her to sit on a small bamboo chair on the first floor and vowed: "With our master's temper, there are only two situations that can make him so wrong."

The boy in green clothes stretched out a finger and said in a low voice: "One situation is that money is lost, and the amount is not small."

The girl in pink skirt took it seriously.

The boy in Tsing Yi said with a bad smile: "Then the old man suffered a serious emotional injury. For example, he was tossing and turning alone, unable to sleep alone, and suddenly he had a whim and ran to confess his love to Miss Ruan Xiu, but she was beaten by her. He refused. Or when he confessed his love to the girl he loved, he went too far and wanted to kiss her and give her a hug. Then he slapped Miss Ruan and called her a scoundrel, which made our husband very angry. I have no choice but to come here to cool down in the bamboo building."

The girl in the pink skirt said doubtfully, "I wouldn't do such a thing."

The boy in green lamented, "You don't understand." We men."

Chen Pingan sat cross-legged on the second floor and looked into the distance through the railing.

The locust wood sword was placed across his knees.

He took out the silver sword embryo and stared down at it. Different from the strange movement in Mud Bottle Alley, the sword embryo was as quiet as a dead thing at this time.

For some reason, Chen Pingan was already in a peaceful mood, even more stable than when he usually practiced boxing, with a clear mind and clear thoughts.

Chen Pingan raised his head again, clenched the sword embryo in his hand, and said calmly: "It's not mine, even if it's under my feet, after I pick it up, I will only take the initiative to find the owner and return it to others. It's mine, it's mine, you can't go anywhere, even if you escape to the end of the world, I will catch you back."

The silver sword embryo gradually became warm, and soon became hot.

Chen Pingan gritted his teeth and just held it tightly with one hand, while placing the other hand gently on the locust wood sword as some kind of emotional support. Later, he had to hold the sword tightly.

The palms of my hands have already been burned red.

The pain is heartbreaking and the soul is trembling.

The pain caused by the burning of the sword embryo, apart from the skin and flesh, is more like a horror like melted copper juice pouring on the heart.

The Eighteen-stop Sword Qi movement method naturally began to flow, hitting the Qi Mansion acupoints with names that were completely different from those of today again and again, desperately resisting the shock caused by the hot heat.

Before, Chen Pingan had been stuck between six and seven, unable to break through that threshold.

No matter how Chen Ping'an practiced boxing or fighting, or how he sparred with the boys in Tsing Yi to temper his body, he couldn't get the right method, so he couldn't get in.

In order to reduce the perception of pain as much as possible, Chen Pingan, whose body was shaking violently, began toI had to try my best to distract myself and think about other places, think about the contents of the sages' classics that Cui Dongshan recited loudly, think about the fonts of young Taoist Lu Chen's prescriptions, think about Fengxue Temple's sword in the Wei and Jin Dynasties that broke through the air and destroy all kinds of magic, and imagine today's mud bottle alley. The strange scene of the white rainbow flying sword striking the spring leaves and autumn wind...

Thinking about one thing after another, it is still useless.

In addition to the bloody palms of Chen Pingan's hands, which were stuck together with the sword embryo, Chen Ping'an also began to bleed from his seven orifices. This was not all, blood began to ooze from the tiny pores of his skin, and finally a shocking drop of blood condensed out. beads.

The appearance is miserable, but the inside is even worse. The meridians between the qi palaces in the body are like being trampled by the hooves of an iron horse, causing mud to splash everywhere.

Chen Pingan finally thought of a girl.

He smiled knowingly.

I can only smile knowingly.

Because Chen Ping'an's face had long been distorted into a rigid and ferocious expression, and it was impossible to change at all.

Chen Pingan is still suffering huge pain silently.

From beginning to end, there was no sound.

He was already confused and confused. In the daze, Chen Ping'an thought of a personal name. If he glanced at the flowers, the familiar scene would be relatively clear for a long time. If he was not so familiar, the scene would be clearer. Gone in a flash.

There is like, there is admiration, there is respect, there is fear, there is disgust, there is disgust, there is pity, there is hatred, there is doubt...

Dong dong dong...

If someone is tapping the young man’s heart with his finger.

As if asking something.

Until the heart.

With only a trace of consciousness remaining to support the young man who was unwilling to admit defeat, he could only answer from his heart, and even he himself did not know the answer.

When manpower is exhausted.

Chen Ping'an finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell backwards. He hit the green bamboo ground with the back of his head and woke up a little.

Buzzing.

I just felt a strange movement coming from my stomach.

The human body is like a small world, and suddenly there is an uneven sound of swords clanging!
