Chapter 225 Night Road

Not long after Chen Ping'an returned to the verandah and sat down, he didn't see Zhang Shanfeng. The bearded man was a joker, so the Taoist priest made eye contact with a young beauty and went out for a night tour. Liu Gaohua started making noises, and of course Chen Pingan didn't believe it. However, looking at the face of the county governor's legitimate son, Chen Pingan's eyes looked a little strange, thinking that such a coincidence wouldn't happen in the world. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Have you ever... Married sisters?"

Liu Gaohua was confused, "No, one sister each. Now I don't have a wife, they don't have a wife, they all eat and drink at home, and my father complains all day long. We are a bunch of losers, and our salary has been wasted by the three of us, especially the preparation of dowry and betrothal gifts, which has caused him to not purchase a desk clearance for several years."

Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, it would be fine if he didn't get married, otherwise. If that woman who looks somewhat similar to Liu Gaohua is really Liu Gaohua's sister, then she would stick a branch of red apricot out of the wall. Whether she talks about it or not, Chen Pingan will be in a dilemma.

The curtain fell quickly on the high platform of the Huxin Pavilion, with thunderous applause. Governor Liu and General Ma did not rely on their official status, but walked out of the waterside pavilion in person, went to the high platform to greet the old immortal, and the old immortal answered appropriately. Both parents and officials of Yiwu felt like they had a breath of fresh air. During this period, there was also a young man who looked like a disciple of the noble clan. He wanted to learn skills from the old god, but he was soon dragged away by the housekeepers in the house.

Taoist Zhang Shanfeng came back a few steps later than Chen Ping'an. When he saw Chen Ping'an sitting there peacefully, he was relieved and joked: "I thought you fell into the latrine."

Chen Ping'an didn't want to reveal the battle in the small street, and whispered: "I couldn't find the latrine, and I was too embarrassed to ask the housekeeper, so I thought of secretly finding a secluded place, but after searching for a long time, I came back I saw a lot of people on the verandah, so I felt embarrassed to squeeze in, so I stayed outside for a while." The bearded man asked in a hurry: "I kept going into the darkness, but I didn't see any scenes of people making love to each other. ? I can tell you that Caiyi Country, especially Rouge County, has the most scholars and beauties. When they have nothing to do, they all like to watch some gaudy porn. If they watch too much, why not just follow the instructions in the book... "

When the man said this, Liu Gaohua couldn't help laughing, nodded vigorously and said: "Just like that little girl in my family, she is only thirteen years old, just because she peeked at a few Yanliu books, it is not about the love between men and women. , has a wild temperament. She has longed for chivalry in the world since she was a child. She always said that the men in Rouge County are women and are not happy. She only learned the tricks in the book about sneaking out of the embroidery building and building ladders to climb over the wall. Fortunately, she is shrewd. My mother is smarter than her, and the little girl never succeeds in her film."

The bearded man's eyes lit up, he patted his chest and said, "It's good to yearn for the world, but Mr. Xu pretends to be a man of the world. , just pick out one or two stories, they are the best snacks in the world!"

Liu Gaohua rolled his eyes and said: "No, my sister is still young, Master Xu, why are we friends? Just talk about it in the world. Besides, you are my brother-in-law.”

The man smiled and said, “Don’t you have a sister?”

Liu Gaohua did not dare to say anything more, as he seemed to have something to hide.

Chen Pingan was about to speak but stopped.

The bearded man laughed loudly and slapped Liu Gaohua on the shoulder, "Look, I scare you. I, Mr. Xu, have been wandering around the world for so many years. I can't count my confidante with both hands. To Xiu Lou The women in the boudoir are never interested!"

After the banquet was over, the three of them walked out of the house in the crowd, and the three of them returned to the inn. Liu Gaohua was arrested by his father for socializing. Although his son was incompetent and his craftsmanship was not good, His career career was basically cut off, but after all, he was the only son in the family. Sheriff Liu still hoped that Liu Gaohua could support his appearance in the future and not be too ugly.

On the way back, because he got two things, Chen Pingan asked Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng about the magic weapon.

If you want to blame it, it’s the people Chen Ping’an met before who were so ungrateful. A Liang casually carried a bamboo knife around his waist. As for the young Cui Chan, he accidentally talked about realms and magic weapons, and his tone was so loud that it was scary. , it seems that the Qi Practitioners of the Upper Fifth Realm and the Middle Fifth Realm, and the magic weapons they carry, are just children playing in the mud, not worth mentioning. The barefoot old man in the bamboo house was even more straightforward, saying that if we, martial artists, had to rely on external objects to travel around the world, we might as well stay at home and work in the fields and become farmers.

Chen Pingan was also helpless.

Fortunately, through the introductions of Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng, we had a general understanding of the classification of "magic weapons". It turned out that the hierarchy was also strict, not much inferior to the official rank. "Magic weapon" is a very general term. The lowest object is a craftsman's tool, which can only be regarded as a well-cast dead object. The quaint expressions such as blowing hair to break hair and cutting iron like mud mostly describe weapons in this category, and The objects that the Immortal Family on the mountain symbolically bestows on its disciples are often good-looking craftsmanship, like the peach wood sword owned by Taoist Zhang Shanfeng.

Of course, if it is the peach wood sword that the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion bestowed upon the Xiashan Celestial Master, it would be far more than that.

The next level of craftsmanship is the most important weapon, the magical weapons of Jianghu masters. Most of them belong to this category. The materials are rare and are generally suitable for Qi practitioners, especially wild cultivators who have no roots or sect inheritance. Sanxian is regarded as a pure martial artist by laymen. If the mountainside people on the road of spiritual practice are lucky, they will have one or two "important weapons". It is not easy. Taoist Zhang Shanfeng dreams of important weapons and hopes to be able to use them in the future. Possess a handy magic sword.

The sword of the bearded man is actually the best among the heavy weapons.

The following spiritual weapons and magic weapons are the real "magic weapons". Spiritual weapons are divided into innate and acquired. Innate spiritual weapons are even rarer. They are loved by heaven and earth and breed abundant spiritual energy for practice. If you control it, you will get twice the result with half the effort. At critical moments, it can also reward its master at the cost of destroying the foundation. In fact, Xiaoxue Qian can barely be classified as such, but the spiritual energy contained in a snow money is too rare and can be ignored. No Qi practitioner is stupid enough to absorb Xiaoxue Qian's spiritual energy to promote his cultivation state.

Acquired spiritual weapons, such as yellow paper talismans of high quality, and some carved and forged by Qi practitioners.The miraculous artifacts he has made, such as the jade pendant of Fu Nanhua, the Young Lord of Old Dragon City, is called "Old Dragon Buyu". It is the first-class item among the spiritual artifacts and is extremely valuable. There are also other artifacts he purchased from Song Jixin. The "mandrill pot" obtained is even more precious.

Compared with the "Laolong Buyu Pei" and "Mandrill Pot", the demon-binding ropes, demon-suppressing trees, ghost-fighting bamboo whips, etc. carried by the Qi practitioners of Shengao Sect, although they are also acquired spirits. The price and value of the appliances are worlds apart.

On top of the spiritual weapon is the magical weapon.

Fa has always been a big word.

Otherwise there would be no such thing as Taoism or Buddhism.

The magic weapon contains the invisible rules of the heaven and earth.

The sword-raising gourd, which is specially used to warm and nourish flying swords, has firmly occupied its place. Of course, the silver sword gourd that A Liang took from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, as well as the gourd hanging around Su Jia's waist in Zhengyang Mountain, belonged to the noble Tianhuang among the sword gourds. According to legend, it was planted by Taozu himself before his ascension. A bunch of gourd vines produced six gourds, which were then made into six sword-raising containers by experts on the mountain. Naturally, they were not comparable to ordinary sword-raising gourds.

There are immortal weapons on top of the magic weapon.

Out of ten Qi practitioners on the mountain will never be able to see an immortal weapon with their own eyes throughout their lives. Even the mansions of the Immortal Family with the prefix Zong may not all have immortal soldiers standing on the top of the mountain. Qi Zhen, the leader of Shen Gaozong, the leader in Taoism in the continent, succeeded in breaking through the realm this time and became a Heavenly King. Only then was he given an immortal weapon by the Shang Zong of the Middle Earth Divine Continent.

The sword fairy Cao Xi of Nanbosu Island, the natal flying sword tied to his wrist, was refined from the water of a big river when he encountered a great opportunity. It can be regarded as a flying sword. A semi-immortal weapon, this is the most feared thing about Cao Xi.

However, the most outstanding immortal weapons in the world are all legendary existences. Those who possess them have a transcendent status and are famous all over the world, such as the Tianshi Seal and the Tianshi Seal of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion. A fairy sword, and a small bronze cauldron that the ancestor of the Yingyin Chen family accidentally acquired when he was traveling around the world when he was young. According to legend, it was an imitation of the large mountain and river cauldron that the ancient saint hung on his waist.

Among the already rare immortal soldiers, there is another one that is even more legendary. After a long period of accumulation, it has given birth to a "god" with self-awareness.

This god is definitely not the righteous god of mountains and rivers enshrined by the secular court. The so-called immortal golden body of the righteous god, before this kind of lofty "god", I am afraid even the chickens and dogs can't stand it. Not as good as.

Chen Pingan knew it well.

Even if you leave aside the five mountains, you are still very rich!

My current wealth is substantial!

The porcelain bowl and ebony wood I just "picked up for free" from the roadside tonight.

The wooden sword made of locust wood "dispels evil spirits".

The snake gallstone that Lu Chen returned to him through He Xiaoliang, even if he put aside his love for it as a dragon in the world, it must be the best spiritual weapon material.

The three seals that Mr. Qi left for him are all the best snake gallstone seals.Engraved.

The Fengxue small cone pen gifted by Li Xisheng, and a large pile of talisman paper made of precious materials.

The sword-raising gourd at the waist, which is extremely special among magic weapons, is a treasure that most middle and fifth-level sword cultivators covet.

Two natal flying swords that temporarily recognized him as the master, the first and the fifteenth.

So when Chen Pingan walked back to the house alone, there was wind at his feet, like a child in Tsing Yi who had not met someone on the road.

Although it is currently impossible to determine the specific grade of each item, the objects brought out from Luopo Mountain are definitely indistinguishable.

Drink, drink!

Yangjian Gourd was out of wine, so Chen Pingan went to the inn to ask about the price of wine. A bottle of the worst local wine from Rouge County cost at least eight coins per pound. As for the inn’s signature Rouge wine costs twelve taels per kilogram, and there will be no counter-offering! Chen Ping'an's wine gourd can hold more than ten kilograms of wine, and ten kilograms of the most expensive rouge wine only costs one hundred taels of silver! It’s not like a hundred snow coins for the gods on the mountain. If you don’t drink such fine wine, how can you be worthy of the spiritual weapons and magic weapons that you have on your body?

So Chen Pingan decisively ordered ten kilograms of local brewed shochu.

Originally, the three of them had gone back to their houses, but Liu Gaohua came to the inn again and knocked on Zhang Shanfeng’s door first. This official son of Tianzihao in Rouge County had an embarrassed face at that time, and was followed by a group of people. Among the young men and women with good looks, the woman's face is somewhat similar to Liu Gaohua's, so she is probably his sister. When I told Zhang Shanfeng about the matter, it turned out that I came to ask for some bruises from the charlatan. He said that Mr. Liu was going to see the old god tonight. There were too many people and it was night time, so he accidentally fell and got knocked down. It’s reached his head, and his brain is still dizzy. The medicine shop in the county has been closed long ago. His sister is really worried about Mr. Liu. After hearing that her brother knows the heroes of the world and the gods on the mountain, she wants to help and make sure not to fall behind. She will pay for the root cause of the disease and all the expenses.

The Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng led the three of them to Xu Yuanxia's house. The bearded man was also happy. He looked at the frail scholar and said that it was not in the way. Seeing that the woman was reluctant, the man was so sophisticated. , he smiled and took out a piece of cooling ointment from his bag and asked the scholar surnamed Liu to apply it on his temples to ensure that the medicine would cure the disease without any sequelae.

The woman was relieved and sat on the stool, looking at the scholar with soft eyes, full of love and care. The scholar comforted him not to worry, and he was very literate.

The man with the big beard couldn't bear this, and his teeth were sore when he saw it.

Although Zhang Shanfeng was a monk, he did not hesitate to join in the fun. He enjoyed himself alone rather than everyone else, so he immediately ran to pull Chen Pingan over. It is said that she is Liu Gaohua's sister. She is a very upright-looking girl. She has brought a gentle scholar with her tonight. She will probably be the son-in-law of the County Sheriff's Mansion soon. Chen Ping'an had just finished pouring the wine and filled the sword gourd. The room was full of wine smells and empty wine bottles. Seeing Zhang Shanfeng's attitude of not giving up until Zhang Shanfeng caught him to watch a good show, because he didn't want to show his weakness in the matter of wine, Just have toHe gave up the idea of ​​practicing the sword furnace and followed him to Xu Yuanxia's house. As soon as Chen Ping'an entered, the talented and beautiful couple who had a tryst under the moon gasped in unison.

I will not move until the enemy does not move.

Chen Pingan pretended not to know anything, sat down at the table, took off the wine gourd and started drinking.

The scholar surnamed Liu could neither stand nor sit. Liu Gaohua’s sister, the woman who had been poisoned by novels about gifted men and beautiful women, was even more guilty. After all, a young lady from a wealthy family was with a stranger. There is only one step left for a man to make a private life, and it is not a good thing to talk about. Although the folk customs in Rouge County are open, the eldest daughter of a prefect of a county is cuddling with a foreign scholar, and is bumping into each other. If Familiar people, I'm afraid half of the county will spread the news tomorrow.

Liu Gaohuahua said dullly: "What, you three know each other?"

The scholar surnamed Liu knew how to make it up. He coughed and explained: "Tonight, your sister and I are by the lake. I happened to meet this young master while walking. He was carrying a sword box on his back. He was really walking like a dragon and a tiger. His spirit was extraordinary. I was immediately impressed by the young master’s magnanimity. Naturally, I will never forget it. It’s a great honor to see you again now.”

Chen Ping'an couldn't say much about this person's likes and dislikes, and he definitely didn't have a good impression of him, so he laughed, but he didn't expose the scholar's background, so he left some room for maneuver.

After all, Chen Pingan is still unwilling to get involved in Liu Gaohua's housework.

Whether this marriage is good or bad, whether it is a match made in heaven, or whether it is destined to be a love affair, it has nothing to do with him.

But having said that, if Liu Gaohua were replaced by Zhang Shanfeng, a Taoist priest who was regarded as a true friend by Chen Pingan, Chen Pingan would definitely be outspoken. Even if he didn't tell Zhang Shanfeng in person, he would remind Zhang Shanfeng in private and say Your future brother-in-law is not very authentic, he doesn't look like a handsome young man from a scholarly family.

In the end, it is said that this scholar surnamed Liu, who had traveled far and wide to study, met Miss Liu at a temple fair and was so poor that he wanted to live with others because of the inn. There was no room left, so Liu Gaohua just smiled and begged the bearded man and Zhang Shanfeng to take him in. This opened Xu Yuanxia's eyes. It was rare for a brother-in-law to be treated like this. Not only did he not dislike Liu. The scholar's family background helped her sister hide this inappropriate relationship.

The scholar surnamed Liu did not dare to live in the same room with Chen Pingan, nor did he want to stay with the bearded man. He always felt that he had thin skin and tender flesh, and the bearded man looked like he was not afraid of meat and vegetables. Too scary. He chose the most normal and pleasing young Taoist priest, and Zhang Shanfeng had no objection to this.

Liu Gaohua left the inn with his reluctant sister.

The two siblings were walking on the lonely street that was about to be closed for the night. When Liu Gaohua was approaching the door of the county house, he said softly: "Sister, I don't like that person very much, but since you like him , I will do whatever I can do. If one day you find out that you have made a mistake, don’t worry about it. It doesn’t matter if the sky falls, or if your father beats you or scolds you, or if you get angry and do something excessive, don’t be afraid at that time. I am your brother."

The woman kicked her brother lightly and said angrily, "Liu Gaohua! Why don't you say something bad about your sister?" /p>

Liu Gaohua turned his head and made a face.

The woman pretended to be frightened, yelled "Ghost", picked up her skirt, and ran towards the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Liu Gaohua sighed and followed quickly.

Liu Gaohua stopped suddenly, turned his head suddenly, looked around at the empty street, and still didn't see anything strange. He shook his head and continued to move forward.

Because at this moment, he felt a chill on the back of his neck and back.

Liu Gaohua kept comforting himself in his heart, what was he afraid of? He had met the old immortal with his father, and had chatted face-to-face with the old immortal. Some immortal energy, even if there are really filthy things in the world, such as the tree demon in the ancient house, they will definitely not be able to get close to them now.

At the moment when the servant closed the side door of the mansion, on a quiet and empty street in the distance, the watchman on the night watch happened to start to knock the clock. But for some reason, it was clearly the third watch, but the clock was still ringing. The gong of the fourth watch.

On the streets of this Rouge County, a hoarse voice sounded faintly, "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of candles."

The blind old watchman who has been patrolling the night for many years, holding a copper The gong was originally supposed to be accompanied by a mute companion who was responsible for holding the bang and beating the clock. He had been working together for many years and was extremely familiar with it.

But the old watchman didn’t know that his companion was replaced by a woman in white. She struck the gong again and again, and blood would splash on the gong, but before the blood splashed on the street, it would melt away. There were wisps of black smoke that quickly dispersed.
