Chapter 195 Sword Suppressing Tower

In the eyes of Zhigui who was separated by a courtyard wall, Chen Pingan was sitting on a small bench, swaying as if he was dozing off.

But in the perception of sword cultivator Cao Jun, Chen Ping'an's soul was shaking violently. The river was surging, and a small boat was in danger of capsizing at any time.

The flaming red fox stood on Cao Jun's shoulder and joked: "Although I don't know the origin of that sword embryo, I can be sure that it is of extremely high quality. Even I am greedy. You just ate a little bit." If you lose, just give up? This is not like your Cao Jun style."

Cao Jun threw the melon seed shells into the next yard and shook his head: "I won't grab it anymore, Lao Cao is right, Yijing will do it in the near future. It is not advisable to move. If a person dies, his eggs will fall into the sky, his life will be gone, and everything will be in vain."

The flaming red fox deceived people and said: "There are only three things to do, there is only one chance, give it a try, the horse will not be fat without weeds, and the man will not be fat." There is no windfall or wealth. Since you, Cao Jun, suffered a big fall in your early years and your inner lake was turned into a muddy pond, causing your cultivation to stagnate, how can you become a big deal if you don't take the wrong path now? ”

Cao Jun remained silent, just lowering his head and eating melon seeds, his eyes dark.

Cao Jun has enjoyed a great reputation since he was born. He was originally the embryo of a Great Sword Immortal who met once in a hundred years in Nanbosu Continent. Within the heart lake, wisps of pure sword energy were innately generated, and they stood tall and graceful, just like the lake. Lotus flowers only need to wait for the day when they are in bud. But later, he encountered an accident and was beaten to death by a peak powerhouse. His sword energy withered to pieces, and he was reduced to a withered lotus.

Since then, Cao Jun has become the laughing stock of the entire Nanbosu Continent. The swordsmanship geniuses of his generation who were left far behind by him in the past are now surpassing Cao Jun one by one.

The flaming red fox lamented and patted Cao Jun on the head with his paw, "Poor baby. The foundation of kendo is broken and the future is ruined. After so many years, he has lost the energy to fight with God. ."

Cao Jun was slightly surprised and turned to look at the young man's ancestral home, "This guy has a very good character. I didn't even notice it before, but he found his own method."

p>

Many things in the world will not be scary to the well-informed mountain gods, but they will still be interesting.

The flaming red fox was also slightly shocked. He jumped on Cao Jun's head, stretched his neck to look at it, and watched the scene of the young man and the sword embryo fighting in the body. He said softly: "Well, it's similar. The Buddhist hitching post acted as an anchor for the young man's soul boat. The young man's body was broken and patched, and it was not easy for him to reach this point. But being able to subdue the sword embryo was not enough. . Cao Jun, you were too smooth before you were tricked, and then too bumpy. Maybe the young man’s experience today will be a little inspiration for your spiritual practice..."

Cao Jun is no longer He smiled, suppressed all his smiles, and his face became solemn.

Practice and talent are like the bowl that the ancestor used to reward rice. Even if some people's bowls are very big, if the rice in them is Too little, and you will still be in a bleak situation of not having enough to eat, and your achievements will naturally be limited.

This wayCao Jun traveled far, from the colorful Nan Posu Continent to the barbarian land of Dong Aoping Continent. Cao Jun gained a lot along the way, and every bit of it was a benefit.

In the process of wrestling with the sword embryo, although the young man had a strong mind and an anchor to help calm his heart, so as not to let his soul drift with the tide, the spirit of the sword embryo was too strong, menacing and rampant. , it was a barbaric way to defeat ten groups with one force.

The flaming fox slapped its paws against each other and gloated: "I'm going to lose, miserably. I might have to lie on the hospital bed for ten days and a half." The sword embryo has obviously just developed spirituality, and he doesn’t know how to use his own innate magical powers, otherwise the young man will not be able to survive at this time.”

Although Cao Jun’s cultivation is not as good as that of the fox demon above his head, he is as good as a mountain. As a sword cultivator who was once expected to reach the top, he has his own unique vision, "Not necessarily."

The flaming red fox said in surprise: "Huh? There are three deep castles in that young man's body. Is it still a good one?" A sword repairman’s embryo? No, no, it must have been carved out the day after tomorrow, but it’s so natural, no wonder it made me miss it.”

The city is deep, which is mostly a secular way of describing it. Someone is far-sighted and has a slightly derogatory meaning.

But on the mountain, it is a great compliment. The acupoints are like city mansions, and naturally the higher they are, the bigger and more spectacular they are.

The flaming red fox sighed softly, "Such an inconspicuous young man has his own quirks that cannot be underestimated. Cao Jun, you better listen to the old bastard and stop messing around recently. This broken... Lizhu Cave is a dojo inside a snail shell, but there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so you really shouldn’t act too arrogantly.”

Cao Jun nodded, “You have to keep your tail between your legs.”

The flaming red fox was so angry that he stepped on Cao Jun's head, "You immature little bastard, I kindly remind you, why are you still cursing!"

The young man's aura gradually stabilized and gained the upper hand. For some unknown reason, the sword embryo suddenly withdrew its troops and wandered quietly in a majestic Qi Mansion.

Cao Jun stopped peeping at the scene over there, and said with a narrow smile: "I heard that you have a sister named Qingying, who is one of the ancestors of the fox tribe with you, and has the hope of giving birth to a ninth tail. , Lao Cao has coveted her beauty for many years, is she really beautiful?"

The flaming red fox raised his tail, used it as a fan to gently fan the breeze, and said with a bared tooth: "It's so beautiful, it's so long. He has a dead face, he has not liked to smile since he was a child, and his eyes are higher than his head. He looks like an unlucky person at a glance. With the eyes of an old bastard, even a sow with a big belly looks beautiful. Immortal."

Cao Jun hesitated and asked softly: "I heard that she has been wandering around that Xiongzhen Tower for hundreds of years. Is it because she hopes to become that guy's concubine?"

The flaming red fox loosened its tail and laughed heartily, as if it had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Will Master Bai fall in love with her? Master Bai, as one of the oldest demon kings in the world, once After traveling to every corner of the world, what female has never seen such an ordinary person?Little fox? "

The Zhenhai Tower stands on the shore of the South China Sea in Posu Island, and Cao happens to be one of the gatekeepers, so Cao Jun knows many inside stories.

The flaming red fox said in a low voice, "Three The saint is treating us, Mr. Bai, unfairly! It's obviously Mr. Bai who helped..."

Cao Xi yelled in the room: "Smelly bitch, are you looking for death? Don't shut up yet! ”

The flaming red fox suddenly came back to his senses. Realizing that he had made a mistake, he actually looked up at the sky, clasped his hands, bowed and bent down, as if he was praying to apologize piously, not even hiding, leaving his body skinny. He was blown away by a wisp of sword energy from Cao Xi's finger.

"Twenty words, be punished!" "

Cao Xi used twenty rays of sharp sword energy in succession, and the fiery red fox did not dodge even once. In the end, Cao Jun hugged the dying animal with both hands and walked back to the house.

Cao Xi was still angry, pointing at the fox in Cao Jun's arms and yelling: "If you want to die, just jump into Ruan Qiong's sword furnace. Ruan Qiong can still miss you, don't make any nonsense here, it will bring trouble to my family, Cao family and others." You will be buried together! The world is huge and the three leaders don't care about it, but what about the disciples and disciples under them? You don't know what the temper of the master of Daoxuanshan is like? ! You loser bitch! "

The flaming fox tilted its head and fainted.

Cao Jun said softly: "That's almost it. Without it, you, Cao Xi, would not be where you are today. It is okay to be a bad person, but you must have some conscience. "

Cao Xi stopped suddenly, with gloomy eyes, staring at the descendant who had lost his smile.

Cao Xi looked disgusted and disgusted, waved his sleeves and said: "Go and tell That little brat named Cao Mao, let him not be as knowledgeable as the Yuan family, with a vision the size of a grain of rice, only focused on the gains and losses of a temple in Dali, a bunch of trash, why don't you die! You still have the nerve to come see your ancestor and tell him to get lost! "

Cao Jun hugged the fox and turned away with an indifferent expression.

Cao Xi stayed alone in the ancestral house and began to walk slowly around the patio.

But at that time, there was a shabby young man with a naughty character who was not afraid of anything. He laughed and laughed every day. He didn’t read any books or do anything. He just daydreamed. He always felt that one day, sooner or later, he would... I will buy the largest house on Fulu Street. As for whether my grandfather and parents will be alive by then, even if they succeed, the boy was busy idle and dreaming, so he didn't think about it at all.

The old man, who was no longer a teenager, took out the rusty ancient copper coin, raised it high above his head, and looked through the square hole of the copper coin, and then through the square roof patio.

Thinking back to those days, there seems to have been such a conversation.

"Mother, when I become successful in the future, I will let you sleep in a mountain of gold and silver."

"Alas!"

"Mother, I will Are you serious!"

"Put away the copper coins quickly, if your father sees it, he will take it away again."

......

Cao Xi. Putting away his thoughts, he looked around and laughed at himself: "I have become an immortal, and my popularity is gone."

————

Chen Pingan locked the door and left the clay bottle. Lane, came to the New Year's Eve shop in Qilong Lane. The boy in green was sitting on the threshold in a daze. When he saw Chen Pingan, he just called out "Master" feebly. Chen Pingan crossed the threshold and found a girl in pink skirt standing on a bench. , with a solemn and serious look on his face, was sitting behind the counter, calculating against the account books spread out on the table. His hands and fingers were like butterflies twining around flowers, dazzling, crackling, crisp and sweet. Surrounded by several women and girls from small towns, Full of shock and admiration.

The simple-minded women and girls, when they saw Chen Pingan, they all smiled and called him "Shopkeeper Chen."

The girl in the pink skirt looked up and said: "Master, I'm helping the shop settle the accounts. I'll be fine soon."

Chen Ping'an nodded with a smile, walked around the counter, asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and started writing a gift list. Before leaving the town, he asked Ruan Xiu to help deliver gifts to many neighbors. Before Chen Pingan went to Long Kiln to bake porcelain, he grew up eating hundreds of rice. For example, he often went to Gu Can's house to have rice, and he could often receive it. He saw some old clothes that other teenagers could no longer wear. For Chen Pingan, every meal and every piece of clothing was a great favor to save his life. He told Ruan Xiu at that time that as long as he lived in the future, They would send it door to door every year, and there wouldn't be too many things each time, but for the small households near Mud Bottle Lane, various items ranging from seven to eight taels to twenty taels of silver were definitely not a small amount.

Ruan Xiu asked at that time why not give a little more money in one go, which would be more refreshing and make those people grateful.

Chen Ping'an said that was not possible. He grew up at the bottom of the city. In fact, it was not that he didn't understand the human heart and the world, but he just couldn't explain the principles in the book. For example, seemingly trivial things can destroy your filial piety and kindness the most. So he carefully explained his little truth to Ruan Xiu. In this small town, the situation of each household is actually similar to that of a crop field. There are big and small years, and some children and grandchildren are prosperous and prosperous. , there is no shortage of money. Some sudden changes may cause a family that was originally relatively prosperous to suddenly collapse. Therefore, the things Chen Pingan prepared can be used for food and clothing. If there is an urgent need for money, he can even convert those things into money and give them to families with a lot of money. People will be happy. If they are given to families in need, they will be more happy. Will cherish it.

Whether it is the icing on the cake or a timely help.

All good things.

It’s just that after Chen Pingan learned to read and write,Only then did I understand why I did the right thing.

After hearing this, Ruan Xiu smiled very happily and said that things were different up and down the mountain.

The number of people on this year’s gift list is slightly smaller than last time. There are different degrees of kindness. Some of the friendships left by our parents are just acquaintances. In fact, there is no kindness. Chen Ping’an is not He is so generous that he gives gifts every year, but even if Chen Pingan has no friendship with some elderly neighbors, he still chooses to keep them on the gift list.

No one’s money falls from the sky. It has nothing to do with how much money a person has in his pocket.

Chen Pingan thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would still build bridges and roads.

After the girl in the pink skirt finished checking the accounts, she began to ask about the operating conditions of the shop. Chen Pingan did not get involved in this. After thinking about it, he handed her the gift list so that she did not have to rush to buy items. The girl in the pink skirt accepted the gift list solemnly, promising that it would be done properly for the master. Chen Ping'an rubbed her little head and came to sit next to the kid in Tsing Yi. The latter was worried, sighed, and kept repeating the words "Jianghu is sinister".

A handsome young man named Cui Ci came to the shop with his luggage on his back. He said that his husband was at home and couldn't leave, so he asked him to deliver the things. He asked Chen Ping'an not to take it seriously and collect it after accepting it. . The boy in green didn't want to see the young man. He looked sideways at Cui Ci, who was old and arrogant. He was so angry that he stood up suddenly and said, "Your husband and my master are equals. You are a little book boy, so show some respect." My master has received some great gift, so why are you so arrogant?" Cui Ci's face turned red.

Chen Pingan smoothed things over and said, "Cui Ci, tell your husband that I will accept the things and practice drawing talismans."

Cui Ci nodded with a straight face. , turned to the boy in green and snorted coldly, turned around and strode away.

The boy in green faced the young man's back and punched and kicked him from a long distance away. Then he relieved himself a little, sat back on the threshold, and said with a sad face: "Master, this small town is like this. How did you survive today in the extremely vicious Longtan Tiger's Den? If it were Silly Girl and I, we would have been cramped and skinned."

Chen Ping'an sighed: "I don't know."

The girl in the pink skirt came to the threshold and said with lingering fear: "Master, who is that young lady carrying the bucket? It's so scary, I feel no worse than the master's students."

Chen Ping'an changed the subject, "I will give you a locust wood sword, and The other sword that Master Ruan is forging, how about naming it "Destroying Demons and Subduing Demons"? He lowered his voice and said, "For that sword embryo, I think 'Chu Yi' or 'Morning' are better." Suitable."

The two little guys looked at each other.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Is it okay for me to choose a name?"

The corner of the boy's mouth twitched, then he squeezed out a smile and extended his thumb, "OldMy mastery of naming is very deep and unfathomable. He returns to his original nature, is both vulgar and elegant, and is more knowledgeable than a scholar! ”

The girl in the pink skirt hesitated to speak. She touched her chest and thought for a while. She might as well not speak out of conscience. In the first month of the year, she can’t disappoint the master.

Chen Pingan glanced at the girl in the pink skirt and asked doubtfully: "Isn't it particularly good? So there's always something to make do, right? "

The girl in the pink skirt kept her mouth shut, and it was unconscionable not to speak. If she said yes, she would not be able to get over this hurdle in her heart.

The kid in green clothes said angrily: "Master, what? Yes, don’t believe my vision? That means your vision is really bad! "

Chen Pingan asked tentatively: "The name is not good? "

The boy in green yelled, and finally couldn't help but speak up. He stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said impassionedly: "Master! Subduing demons and eliminating demons, which Taoist priest who deceives and kidnaps doesn’t talk about this? 'Morning'? I’m still at noon, what about evening? First year of junior high school? What about the fifteenth day of the lunar month? ! Master, these three are all bad street names. Not only is it unimpressive, but it’s also not novel at all! Take a look at the names of other people's swords. Your student's, Golden Harvest, fits the image, but is not too secular. There are also Cao Jun's White Fish and Mo Chi. Let's look at yours, "Subjugate Demons and Eliminate Demons." On the morning of the first day of junior high school, if I had the sword spirit enlightened, I would have a mouthful of old blood spurting out. ”

“Approved opinion. "

Chen Pingan thought carefully for a long time, "The name will not be changed! "

The boy in green slapped his forehead and said earnestly: "To the south of our Aquarius Island, there is a prestigious mansion of the Immortal Family. The founder of the mountain has given it the name of the Invincible Divine Fist Gang. I've been laughing about it for so many years, sir, your naming has the same effect but the same purpose. But fortunately, sir, you don't look like a genius swordsman. It is estimated that not many people will have heard of the name of the sword in the future, so sir, just be happy. "

When Chen Ping'an was about to speak, his heart trembled and he stood up quietly, "You stay in Qilong Lane, I will go somewhere else for a walk." "

Chen Ping'an came to the backyard of Yang's shop.

After Chen Ping'an sat down, Old Yang said slowly: "Let me talk about a little something first. The two following behind you Little snake and python, let them leave the town quickly and go to Luolu Mountain. Next, Ruan Qiong will start a furnace to forge swords, and the momentum will be very loud. I am afraid that all the monsters, ghosts and spirits in Longquan County will suffer, at least those who are forged swords. The sound of forging iron can break up a hundred years of hard-earned Taoism, and may even be knocked back to its original shape, and the soul may simply disappear. Next, Longquan County Government and Huaihuang County Government will notify all registered monsters to either leave here temporarily, or to take refuge in the civil and military temples or mountains, because these places hide the wind and water, have abundant spiritual energy, and can Help block the aftermath of Ruan Qiong's sword-making. Those two little things in your family, don't really think that everything will be fine just because you have a piece of peace and quiet. ”

Chen Pingan’s face was heavy, “Okay, I’ll inform them both when I get back.” ”

Old man Yang was smoking a dry cigarette, as ifIt seems that he is brewing words.

Chen Pingan was sitting upright and uneasy.

Old man Yang finally said: "Qi Jingchun secretly hid a little incense man, which is something I couldn't ask for. Well, it was the little guy who lived in your locust wood sword before. Now he has It belongs to me. As a reward, I need to protect you once, this time. Nowadays, the situation in the town is changing, and it is definitely not something you can show your face to, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will find someone to help you with your fortune. When Ruan If you succeed in making the Qiong sword, you will travel south. As for where you go, it depends on your mood. Whether it is to travel around the mountains and rivers, to travel in the rivers and lakes, or to sharpen your martial arts in the battlefield, it all depends on your choice, Chen Pingan. Don’t come back within this year.”

Chen Pingan opened his mouth slightly.

Old man Yang continued: "You don't have to worry about the ancestral house in Muping Lane, the five hills including Luolu Mountain, the shop in Qilong Lane, etc. They will only manage it better than yourself. ."

Chen Pingan's lips moved slightly.

Old man Yang smiled and said, "Among your friends, isn't there a little girl named Ning Yao? I might as well tell you that she comes from Daoxuan Mountain, or the Great Sword Qi Wall to be precise. In her What's most needed in my hometown is a good sword. If you have the courage, go over there and deliver the sword to her."

Chen Ping'an took a deep breath and asked, "You want me." When will you leave?"

Old man Yang thought for a moment, "Pack it up and leave immediately after Ruan Qiong takes out the sword."

Chen Ping'an asked. He said: "What will happen if you don't leave?"

The old man said sarcastically: "How? What else can I do? I'll die, I finally saved up a little money to make wedding clothes for others, a group of people Sit down, you divide the mountain, I take the sword embryo, and he raises the snake and python, carve them up, and everyone is happy. As for you, I guess it will be difficult for people to collect the corpses. And this is not the worst outcome. The worse thing is, I am with you now. You said, it's not a good thing."

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hands, rubbed his cheeks hard, and suddenly asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with business, "The old gentleman said before, in a small town. Big, I can't imagine it. I want to ask more about how big the town is."

Old man Yang puffed out smoke rings and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly. If so, have you seen that long bridge in the sky?"

Chen Pingan was immediately horrified, and his heart was filled with ripples.

Old man Yang said calmly: "For the sake of the golden incense villain, I can reveal some secrets to you. For example, in that small temple, the small town child who accidentally wrote his name on it is now Most of them died, but those who survived, without exception, were all powerful heroes, such as Xie Shi, the Heavenly Lord of Julu Continent, and Cao Xi, the Sword Immortal of Posu Continent. As for me, I was just a rent collector. Year after year, just keep an eye on the harvest in the fields.”

“Another example is the place that you commonly call the Crab Arch. It is actually equivalent to a contract, a dragon slaying battle, and everyone takes turns. sitNext, reward according to merit. The earliest covenant was signed here, with a total of four saints from the three religions and one family, and Ma Kuxuan was related to one of them. In addition, in fact, the true function of the archway tower has long been unknown. It should be called the Sword Suppressing Tower, one of the nine majestic Zhen Towers in the world. As for what kind of sword is suppressed, you and I just have an idea. However, in order to deceive others, a sword-suppressing tower also stood in Jinjiazhou. Although the replica of the tower was so fake that it looked like the real thing, and the sword of suppression was also amazing, it was still a fake in the end. But you can just listen to this kind of secret matter as a story. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard it, and it’s useless if you have.

Old Yang squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, "It is said to be the Sword Suppressing Tower. In fact, in the earliest days, this place was considered an ascension platform." But that was a long time ago, so it’s useless to say more. ”

Old man Yang looked back and said calmly: “Because of your existence, you have played a matchmaking role invisibly. I have done a lot of business over the years and made a lot of money.” The breathing technique I taught you back then was also because I made a profit from a certain transaction, so you don’t have to be grateful for it. There is no need. Business is business. Maybe one day in the future, your enemy will be sitting here. , if you put out enough chips, I will still negotiate business with him and sell you. "

Chen Ping'an remained silent.

A little sad.

After all, he is still a young man. No matter how much suffering he has endured, no matter how far he has walked on the mountain road, the young man will never be the same. They are all that young man, only fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year.

Old man Yang pointed to the hairpin on Chen Pingan's head, "Although it is just an ordinary hairpin, I like the words on it, so I am going to do it too. Let me make a small deal with you. You will use this hairpin to exchange for the same square-inch item with me. Even a second-level martial artist can control it. For this reason alone, it is rarer than most square-inch items and close-by items in the world. . The next time you go south alone, you will be no more helpless than the last time. You won't be able to go very far without anything really close to you. "

Chen Pingan was stunned.

Old Yang waited quietly for the answer.

Chen Pingan asked softly: "If one day I want to redeem the hairpin, May I?

Old man Yang smiled and said: "Most others can't do it. You, Chen Ping'an, have helped me make money so many times, so you can make a small exception." But the ugly words are ahead, and when the time comes, it will no longer be a small thing that can be redeemed. ”

Chen Pingan took off the jade hairpin and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the white jade hairpin made of ordinary material and put it in his sleeve without looking at it.

The next moment, before Chen Pingan could retract his hand, a jade dagger no more than an inch long appeared in his hand. Old Man Yang smiled and said: "I think you gave the sword embryo a good name. In the first year of junior high school, it's very good." A good sign is that those two little guys are ignorant. Coincidentally, this pocket flying sword can be cultivated into a high-quality natal flying sword, and can also be used as a square-inch object, named 'Fifteen'. ”

Chen Pingan asked in a low voice: “Isn’t it very precious?” ”

“Just collect itDown.

Old man Yang twitched his lips and said, "Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?" ”
