Chapter 252: Clay Bodhisattva Crosses the River on Sword

(11,000 words chapter.)

After paying the money at the west gate of Old Dragon City to enter the city, you walked through what can almost be described as a long city cave. , Sun Jiashu took Chen Pingan onto a large carriage. At first glance, except that the vehicle was larger and the horses pulling the carriage were tamer, there was no sign of the rich man's style. The driver was an old man with no smiles. When Chen Pingan sat down, After entering the carriage, I discovered that there was a different cave. There were four plain white futons. The wall facing the curtain was a row of bookcases with books placed on them. There was a charming brass incense burner with purple smoke curling up. , Chen Pingan and Sun Jiashu sat opposite each other. Chen Pingan was actually a little cautious, for fear of soiling this spotless little "study". Sun Jiashu looked at Chen Pingan's straw sandals and said with a smile: "When I was very young, according to the family rules, My grandfather began to take me around all over the world. Before I was eighteen years old, I changed places almost every year. Therefore, I worked as a shop assistant, a fisherman and a villager, a rice shop hawker, and a government official. There were more than ten kinds of trades. I can actually make a living by knitting straw sandals, but they are rough and sloppy, not as solid and fine as the ones under your feet."

Sun Jiashu sat cross-legged on the futon, not showing any laziness, but giving. He still felt very leisurely and calm, and he asked with a smile: "Chen Pingan, do you know what farm work I was most afraid of doing back then?"

Chen Pingan is not a god who can do calculations, let alone Of course, we couldn't guess the roundworm in Sun Jiashu's stomach. What's more, Sun Jiashu is a very strange person. Although the two of them have not met for a long time, their impression of him becomes blurred the more they get along.

Sun Jiashu smiled and said: "It's about picking mulberry leaves. It was hard to pick a basket full of mulberry leaves. My grandfather stretched out his hand and pressed the basket gently, and it turned into a half basket. Then he picked it again. It's full, and I have to pick for a long time, which can make people feel desperate. Moreover, every time I go up the mountain, there will always be tiny wounds cut by the barbs of vegetation. When the sun shines and the sweat comes out, it becomes hot. It hurts. Instead, I was planting rice in the field and was bitten by the leeches, but it was fun. Grandpa liked to smoke dry cigarettes, and they would fall off if they were burned."

Chen Ping'an thought deeply and said: " In our hometown, being bitten by leeches in the paddy fields is very troublesome. Because I can't bear the salt and vinegar, I have to spend a long time fighting wits and courage with those annoying leeches. In the end, my legs will bleed. Fortunately, there is a kind of kind next to the fields. We call it "Green Queen" in local dialect. Putting grass blades on wounds can quickly stop bleeding. I haven't seen them since I left my hometown."

Sun Jiashu smiled and nodded, "Really poor people are born in poor families and are more able to endure suffering. Of course, a rich young man like me can't compare with you. No matter how hard I endure, it's hard to compare with you. At the beginning, I and you When my grandfather went on a long trip, he would cry and cry every now and then, shouting that he wanted to go home. Looking back now, if I bring a grandson like me in the future, he will definitely not have the temper that my grandfather had back then.Be patient. "

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "One day, maybe you will be different, maybe you will have a better temper. "

Sun Jiashu was slightly surprised, then nodded and said: "It's really possible. ”

A man sitting on the entire street outside Old Dragon City, and a young man who he said had missed an Old Dragon City, chatting about these local trivial matters, both of them were surprised. It felt like it was natural and not awkward at all.

The carriage drove smoothly, and although the incense burner kept rising purple smoke, the interior of the carriage did not become smoky, but there was a fresh breath of spring breeze and green grass.

Chen Pingan said: "You manage such a big family business, and you came here to pick me up. How much money will you lose? In fact, you can ask someone else to do it. "

Sun Jiashu shook his head and said: "How to make money is one thing. Every penny has to be counted. Even a copper coin needs to be calculated clearly with others. But how to spend the money depends on each person. Get used to it. Like me, I am really trying my best to make money all year round, for what purpose? Just so that I don't have to be too stingy about making friends and worry about money. "

Chen Pingan said suddenly: "It makes sense! ”

I can’t wait to take out the remaining small bamboo slips in the square inch object and quickly carve Sun Jiashu’s truth on it.

When I really have money, in the future If someone said that he was not a good person, he would use Sun Jiashu's words to refute the other party.

We had a great conversation along the way. Sun Jiashu told many anecdotes and embarrassing things about his travels. Chen Ping'an has always been a good person. A very good listener, and from the conversation, the originally vague impression of Sun Jiashu gradually became clear. He is a very "calm"... rich man!

I, Sun Jiashu, am like this! Being rich is not a great thing, but you don't have to deliberately play tricks on others, deliberately lower your worth, get along with people whom Sun Jiashu considers to be friends, and truly become equals from the inside out

The carriage came to a rural place. There was a yellow mud road under the horses' hooves, so the vehicle was bumpy. Sun Jiashu was a little surprised when he saw Chen Ping'an. He smiled and lifted the curtain. Outside the window was a large clump of reeds, lush green. As the carriage moved forward, there were even golden rapeseed flowers. It was pleasing to the eye to see. Logically speaking. The flowering period of the rapeseed flowers has long passed, and Chen Pingan only thought that the soil and water in Old Longcheng were different from his hometown.

Sun Jiashu explained: "My Sun family ancestors made their fortune here. The descendants of the ancestral land have tried their best to maintain the original appearance of the ancestral land, fearing that the feng shui of the ancestors would be ruined, but also to cherish the memory of their ancestors.The Sun family entertained distinguished guests, and the gods, emperors, generals and ministers on the mountain were all placed in the Sun Mansion in the inner city. It was a place full of gold and jewels, no worse than the Fu family's old Long Mansion. But to entertain real friends, I am still willing to come here. More than ten miles away, there is the ancestral home of the Sun family. It occupies a small area and has a courtyard with three entrances. The house is near the water and faces a river. You can fish. I hope you can like. "

Chen Pingan smiled brightly and said: "I like it, how could I not like it. "

Sun Jiashu smiled and asked: "How about we get off the car and walk? "

Of course Chen Pingan had no objection, so the two got out of the car and walked to the Sun family's ancestral home. Sun Jiashu also talked about the general situation of the ancestral home, and said in an understatement: "A radius of a hundred miles. , all belong to our Sun family. There are six villages with about 2,000 households. They raise silkworms and grow tea. The Sun family bought everything produced at a price slightly higher than the market price. The villagers' income is acceptable, and they can live and work here in peace and contentment. ", let Chen Pingan truly understand the grandeur of Old Dragon City and the generosity of the Sun family.

Now we can already see the Sun family. When looking at the outline of the ancestral home, Chen Pingan asked: "Is there a cross-continental ferry to Daoxuan Mountain in Old Dragon City? "

Sun Jiashu nodded and said: "Yes, Old Dragon City is actually the largest commercial hub in Aquarius Continent. You can go wherever you can make money, but I just want to go there through Daixuan Mountain. Not everyone has the ability to make money on the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Even those with five major surnames, including the Fu family and the Sun family of Laolongcheng, this business must be done carefully and every aspect must be taken care of. "

Speaking of this, Sun Jiashu felt a little emotional and said slowly: "Over the past few thousand years, not to mention the Fu family, the lord of the city, all the five major surnames in Old Dragon City, except Sun, have changed several times. All over the place, most of them fell on the side of the Hanging Mountain. Sun's injuries, which nearly ruined her family's fortune several times, were also related to the Sword Qi Great Wall. Nowadays, there are only six ferries in Old Dragon City that can go to Daoxuan Mountain. The Fu family owns two of them. The six ferries are all very large and can carry at least two thousand people at a time. The Fu family's ferry is a treasure-eating whale and a The floating mountain built by the Mohist giant is known as the "little upside down". It has pavilions, towers and jade buildings on it, and the scenery is very good. It is the first choice ferry for the gods on the mountain. Almost every time, there are many big monks in the Jindan Yuanying realm. And our Sun family's ferry is a mountain turtle captured and tamed by our ancestors. The back of the turtle's shell is as big as a mountain peak, and it can accommodate 2,400 guests. Of course, there are more goods. A trip to and from the upside-down mountain will definitely make money. It’s not the small fee for guests to take the ferry, but the various supplies and specialties from Aquarius and Juluzhou. As long as they can be delivered to Daixuan Mountain, it will be a huge profit. However, the journey is long and there are many accidents. The ferry suffered heavy casualties and lost everything. It's not impossible. Therefore, it is already a great science for Qi practitioners to choose suitable ferries according to the year, season and hexagram. ”

In the end, Sun JiashuWith a hint of self-deprecation, he smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you that the Fu family in Old Longcheng and our five major surnames are all merchant disciples of hundreds of families. The main house of each family is dedicated to the ancestor, and the Confucian temple is the same as the ancestor. The Confucian saints here are different. It’s just that even today, businessmen are not educated. It is said that in the earliest days, a Confucian academic saint who was eventually worthy of the Confucian Temple and was in a very high position said that there is no such thing as dog meat. In fact, I am talking about our merchants. This kind of evaluation is quite polite. What kind of merchants are cheap, the last in a hundred, and smell like copper? The merchants must have no benevolence and righteousness. In the declining world, merchants have great achievements. These criticisms are even more severe. Therefore, there are many merchants in the nine continents of the world, but they will never be promoted as the mainstream by any dynasty."

Chen Ping'an can only deal with these inside stories related to the cultural purposes of various schools of thought. Listen, don't dare to make random comments or jump to conclusions.

When we arrived at the small ancestral house of the Sun family, there were no beautiful maids, only a dozen old men and women who looked after the house. Sun Jiashu invited Chen Pingan to have a meal, which was nothing. The dragon liver and phoenix marrow are not just plain meals. They are all seasonal vegetables and fish, shrimp, chicken and duck from near the house. They are very delicious. The only hard dish should be a soup with several seafood ingredients. Chen Ping'an is used to eating river seafood. He wasn't used to it, so Sun Jiashu didn't advise him to eat more. Anyway, Chen Ping'an could just pick up the food with his chopsticks according to his own preference.

After dinner, the two of them took a walk by the river outside the house. Chen Pingan asked: "Master Sun, do you know about a place called Chenchen Pharmacy in Laolong City?"

Sun Jiashu thought for a while, "I haven't heard of it before, but I can help you find it soon."

Chen Pingan thanked him.

Sun Jiashu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Chen Pingan did not need to be so polite. He bent down and picked up a flat stone, threw it sideways, and floated it all the way to the other side.

On the other side is the rapeseed field, which spreads all the way out. Everything in the field of vision is golden.

Chen Pingan had already placed the package in the room where he lived, and fastened the sword gourd on his waist again. Of course, he still carried the sword box on his back. After taking off the "ginger pot" and taking a sip of wine, the river flowed slowly, like a peaceful and peaceful old man.

Sun Jiashu stopped and said: "I have roughly calculated that there are only three ferries left to go to Daoxuan Mountain in the near future. The remaining three have not yet returned, and one is our Sun. The mountain turtles of the Fu family, and the treasure-swallowing whales of the Fu family, and the Osmanthus Island of the Fan family. From the perspective of stability, I recommend that you take the treasure-swallowing whale, because within the next ten years, the cross-continental channel to Hanging Mountain will be. The climate is harsh, and the mountain turtles are not as good as the treasure-swallowing whales, or even inferior to the Osmanthus Island made of islands. After all, no matter how good-tempered the mountain turtles are, they are still living creatures of flesh and blood. The crash of the Dajiu Mountain Kun boat in the middle of Aquarius Continent is an example. And the treasure-eating whale can swim in the deepTraveling long distances in the sea is the most secure, and the waterway is a familiar route that the Fu family has developed for many years. They have long been familiar with how to avoid those big monsters in the water. If you are thinking about saving money and being comfortable, then it must be my mountain turtle. You stay up there and don’t dare to say how to enjoy it. After all, you have enough food and clothing, and you don’t have to worry about anything..."

Chen Pingan hesitated for a long time and then said, "It's either the Mountain Turtle or Osmanthus Island. I will never take the treasure-eating whale." "

Sun Jiashu was surprised and asked: "Why? "

Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed, "In my hometown of Lizhu Cave, I almost killed Fu Nanhua, the young lord of Old Dragon City. How dare I take his family's ferry. "

Sun Jiashu couldn't help but put his hand on Chen Pingan's shoulder and slapped him hard, "Chen Pingan!" I have seen many heroes, but not many are as brave as you! "

Chen Ping'an sighed, because from Sun Jiashu's tone, he knew that Fu Nanhua was really not easy to mess with.

Sun Jiashu endured it for a long time, but still endured it. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Although there is more than one young city lord of the old dragon city, and there are several other brothers of the Fu family who are expected to inherit the ancestral old dragon robe, it is known to the world that Fu Nanhua is the most respected by the city lord Fu Qi. , one of the ancestors of the Fu family who holds a semi-immortal weapon, and is Fu Nanhua's preacher. However, he has been in seclusion in recent years, and it is rumored that he is sprinting to the fifth realm. Therefore, Fu Nanhua is most likely to become the next city lord. Chen Pingan, you can do it. If word of this spreads, I guarantee that you will become famous in half of the continent within a month. "

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "It's better not to lose this kind of reputation. "

Sun Jiashu smiled more and more cheerfully, "Although I have had a lot of dealings with Fu Nanhua, we are not even simple fair-weather friends. Of course, Fu Nanhua and Liu Baqiao are still far apart. No comparison. When I heard this truth today, I just wanted to laugh. It seems that I am too unkind. So Chen Ping'an, you should take it easy and be friends with people like me. Don't get too close to each other for the time being, and be sure to be around more. "

As a result, Chen Ping'an said, "Actually, I'm not very familiar with Liu Baqiao. We've only met twice in total. "

Sun Jiashu was a little aggrieved, "Then Liu Baqiao said in the letter that it seemed like he had been through life and death a hundred times. What's going on? The letter praised you as the best in the world, and threatened that if I dared not entertain you personally, he would break off our relationship with me and spread my nickname throughout Aquarius Continent. "

Chen Pingan asked tentatively: "The nickname is grandson? "

Sun Jiashu put his hand on his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Can you guess this? "

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Although I have only met twice, Liu Baqiao's temper is...I know, it's the least formal thing. "

Sun Jiashu sighed and said: "The relationship between me and Fu Nanhua is nothing more than the end of a white head like new. You and Liu Baqiao feel like old friends at first sight. "

The coachman appeared in the distance. Sun Jiashu looked back and said to Chen Pingan: "I have to go to the inner city right away. Sun Mansion met a guest and made an appointment. Someone will tell you about the Dust Drug Store before dark at the latest. Furthermore, since you have a mortal feud with Fu Nanhua, whenever you go out in the near future, you must have someone say hello to me first, and I will let someone arrange the itinerary. In this way, the Fu family's treasure-eating whales can be eliminated for the long ferry trip. You can simply take my mountain turtle to Daoxuan Mountain and set off on time in twenty days. During this period of time, you can live here in my ancestral home. If you want anything, as long as Old Dragon City has it, I can help you deliver it. Don’t feel embarrassed. Before you speak, you can keep telling yourself, "That grandson is very rich. Being friends means sharing blessings and hardships. Enjoy the blessings first, fight side by side in the future, and then suffer the hardships. This is not a loss." "

"Okay, I won't be polite to you. "

Chen Pingan nodded with a smile and blinked, "Is this what Liu Baqiao said? "

Sun Jiashu extended his thumb, "No wonder Liu Baqiao shamelessly wants to be friends with you, you understand him! "

Sun Jiashu said goodbye and left, followed the old coachman who Chen Ping'an couldn't tell, gradually moved away, and took a carriage to the inner city of Old Dragon City.

So Chen Pingan, who was alone, began to practice six-step walking along the river.

The calm river, the endless rapeseed fields, and the ordinary dirt road. , if there were not a stone arch bridge and a Ruan family sword shop, Chen Pingan would almost think that he was in his hometown.

Chen Pingan practiced boxing all the way for more than ten miles, and there was another one further ahead. In the small village built along the river, there were chickens crowing, dogs barking, and smoke rising from cooking fires. Chen Pingan stopped practicing boxing and looked around. There was a small wooden bridge across the river beside him. At this moment, he felt as if he was in another world for no reason.

Chen Ping'an was about to turn around and walk back to the Sun family's ancestral home when he found a group of plainly dressed children walking out of the rapeseed field on the far side of the bank. Most of them were young students in private schools. There were some younger boys with runny noses behind them, holding wooden swords and bamboo swords that must have been cut by the elders in the family. The style was simple, and they were just rough embryos of swords. As if they were competing in swordsmanship, they walked on the field ridge one after another, slashing at the rapeseed flowers, shouting and shouting, full of momentum

Poor Tian Longyou.The two children chopped the cauliflower to pieces. Soon a young child behind him burst into tears. It turned out that he was quite happy at first, and then he realized that the rapeseed field belonged to his family. If this was given to his father, Mom knows, why can’t your butt blossom when you get home?

But he did not dare to stop the two older "swordsmen", so he cried heartbrokenly. Fortunately, one of the swordsmen soon realized that something was wrong and took out A piece of frozen rice candy baked at home, and a few words of instruction to the child. The child, whose face was full of snot and tears, immediately burst into laughter and followed the two swordsmen swaggeringly, watching them swish out. The sword is extremely powerful. I thought that when I was older and had strength, I would ask my carpenter father for a sword and chop down all the rape flowers. How majestic would that be? Can the little Cuihua girl from the neighbor's house only like to play with the little scholar at the back of the village? Then I will definitely stick to myself every day.

Chen Ping'an looked very happy.

Isn’t this what it was like when I was a child? Liu Xianyang loved to do such disgusting things back then. He not only used a wooden sword to chop rape flowers, but also liked to knock down high and low field ridges, hit ducks in the river with stones, and was scolded by women every day. After being chased and beaten, he and Chen Pingan later became kiln workers. Liu Xianyang did less and found it boring. He liked to run into the mountains and catch snakes and pheasants. But there was an extra Gu Can behind Chen Ping'an, who brought Liu Xianyang's abilities to full display. However, compared to Liu Xianyang's generous and generous deeds, the young slug Gu Can was much more alert and was almost never discovered. , both perseverance and perseverance that even Chen Ping'an admires, and precocious cunning that belies his age.

Under the bright sun, Gu Can could wait for most of the day with his butt sticking out just to catch an eel.

Every time it was time to eat in Mud Bottle Alley, Gu Can and his mother would shout at the top of their lungs.

Chen Pingan squatted by the river and threw stones into the water.

The children came from the single-plank bridge in great numbers, one head after another, like a long string of candied haws.

The children were not afraid when they saw the unfamiliar face of Chen Pingan. They just looked at it a few more times and then walked towards the village not far away. However, a child holding a bamboo sword, He turned back three times with one step, keeping his eyes on the sword box behind Chen Pingan. Finally, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, turned around and ran to Chen Pingan, and asked in the elegant Baopingzhou dialect: "Is it possible? Are you a swordsman?"

Chen Pingan stood up, clapped his hands and asked with a smile: "Are you too?"

The child turned over. He rolled his eyes, feeling that this question was childish, and said angrily: "I'm still short of a unique secret book."

Chen Pingan suppressed his smile and nodded: "Me too."

The child looked down at the bamboo sword in his hand, then looked up at the sword in the wooden box behind the guy. hilt, asked: "Can you show me your sword?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "No."

This The eldest child twitched his lips and glanced at the vermilion wine gourd on Chen Pingan's waist. "You are so stingy. You don't look like a swordsman walking around. I think your wine bottle is definitely not filled with wine, but Shui, you're just trying to trick people."

Chen Ping'an asked, "Have you ever seen a real swordsman?"

The child nodded vigorously.

A rosy-cheeked little girl behind said timidly: "We have only been to a market dozens of miles away, and we haven't seen any swordsmen."

Soon a sincere child echoed: "Mr. Xuezhu told us some poems about swordsmen. There are some very expensive villain books sold in the market. Many heroes are drawn on them. Among them, the swordsman is The most powerful, all the bad guys can't beat them."

The kid who admitted to having seen the real swordsman turned around and glared, and the two kids behind him immediately shut up.

The other older kid holding a wooden sword, with a tough head and a tough head, asked Chen Pingan: "How good is your swordsmanship?"

This question really stumped Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to say: "I have seen very powerful swordsmen with my own eyes, but they are not the ones drawn in your villain books."

Bamboo Sword The child sneered.

The naive kid holding a wooden sword was half-believed and asked: "Then have you learned swordsmanship from those heroes? If you can show off your swordsmanship, I will believe it." You are a real swordsman. If possible, will you accept me as your disciple? I want to learn swordsmanship from you, not the kind of chopping rape flowers. For example, you can cut off the bridge in our village with one strike. I can learn from you now!”

Chen Pingan couldn’t help laughing.

With his own swordsmanship, you still want to learn from him?

Chen Ping'an didn't know that the Sun family's ancestral home, with its hundreds of miles of local customs, was a famous paradise in Old Dragon City, although the people who had lived here for generations were mostly simple-minded. There are ordinary villagers, but there are also many experts sitting in secret to help the Sun family keep an eye on the feng shui of this ancestral home and prevent it from being damaged by outsiders. It's just that the difference between the mountains and the mountains seems to be worlds apart, but in fact there are some situations that the gods did not know about before. In addition to the two old people in the Sun family's ancestral home, there is also a man who lives in seclusion in the mountains.The woodcutter and an old man who has flourished here and has many descendants are all real great monks. They have three golden elixirs and one Yuanying. They include the ancestors of the partial branch of the Sun family who ignore worldly affairs, and some who come here to take refuge in seclusion. Of course, some of them were hired by the Sun family with huge sums of money. Their wealth moved people's hearts, and it was inevitable for gods to do so. After all, the money they received every year was Grain Rain money.

Four great qi practitioners gathered in front of the woodcutter's hut at this moment. Because he was one of the formation eyes, the woodcutter who looked like a young and strong man waved his hand casually, and the mountain wind, water and mist filled the air. Gathered into a picture, everyone's eyes were always following the young man with a sword who was practicing boxing along the river. The four of them began to bet on this person's realm. Some people said that since he was Sun Jiashu's friend, he was a talented swordsman with a boxing spirit. It's just a disguise, he must be a young Dongfu realm sword cultivator. Some people refute, saying that he may not be among the middle five realms. The other two people were arguing about whether the young man was in the fourth or fifth realm of martial arts. One of them said that the young man was in the fourth realm of martial arts with an excellent foundation, not the ordinary fifth realm of martial arts. In addition to his excellent talent, the young man must also be in the fourth realm. He has been helped by experts since he was a child, he is the child of a top rich man who has been soaked in medicine jars, and maybe he comes from a thousand-year-old family in a rich and powerful country.

Although the four gods each held their own sides and fought with red faces, they were actually enjoying themselves.

————

Inner City In that small medicine shop, the not-so-serious man squatted on the bench and came to the alley entrance again, but today he didn't bring melon seeds, but a miscellaneous book bought by an unknown woman in the shop, with a lot of nonsense written on it. Most of the stories are about the deeds and teachings of Confucian and Taoist saints, and they are written about the principle of feet flying thousands of miles away from the ground. How could a man read this in the past, but after squatting in the alley for so long, there was never a woman. Being willing to strike up a conversation with him made the man feel that it might be because he was less bookish. If he took a book in his hand and flipped through it, he might get some unexpected surprises.

In the hot summer, women wear much cooler clothes, while men sit in the shade of a small tree, pretending to read, while the corner of their eyes actually looks like sweat sticking to the woman's face and figure. A mature woman with a voluptuous figure could drive away the man's soul. She silently said that her ass was wider than her shoulders and she was as happy as a god.

It’s a pity that the man found himself using a book as a scholar, and no woman was willing to look at him.

In addition to a certain woman, here comes again, with a bucket waist, a pockmarked face, and a face plate bigger than the man’s butt. The man looked sad and finally started to read the book seriously. The young man who lives nearby The woman walked back and forth several times, her waist not twisting, but swinging. The man kept pretending to be blind. Later, the woman couldn't bear the scorching sun and glanced at her beloved lover with longing. , and went home satisfied.

The man flipped through the book very quickly, and finally stopped at a page of the book, which recorded a Taoist great sage with "Zi" as the suffix. He told a story about "Xuzhou" to illustrate The greatest truth. It is said that someone was riding a small boat in the river, and a small boat came towards me. The man shouted three times to remind him, but he still bumped into it. The man yelled and cursed. Finally, when he found that there was no one in the boat, he burst out laughing.

At the end, of course, there will be some good words from the saint, which will be passed down to future generations. The saint said, "A person who goes alone and comes alone is said to be unique. A person who is unique is said to be the most noble." ."

The sage also said: "Only a perfect person can live in the world without avoiding others."

The man did not think this was nonsense. He can even understand the true meaning of the Eight Paths, but even if he understands these big and unreasonable principles, it will be of no benefit to him.

Because he and the Taoist saint are not the same.

Even if it is the teacher’s school, he has secretly attended it many times. He still understands all the principles, even if it is some difficult and obscure points, he has quite a sense of it. But it is useless for one's own cultivation.

But the thing that he didn’t understand the most was his senior brother who also practiced in a small place. That guy did the vulgar things of a countryman all day long, but he was able to rise all the way to the next level. In the Great Sui Palace, that guy has even become a ten-level warrior. He likes to scold his master all year round, and he often says that his senior brother has a good understanding.

He doesn’t hate his master or his senior brother because of this. He just can’t figure it out, so he has been living a useless life for so many years. He doesn’t even have the heart to prove it to his master, so More and more frustrated.

Until the master drove him from the small town in the north to this old Dragon City.

He has no complaints.

He was just worried that the old man would stay alone in the small town. If Li Er left, there would be no one to praise. He also left, and no one would blame him. The old man who smoked dry cigarettes all day long, How boring?

He was a pure martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of the Eighth Realm early on. He guarded a small medicine shop all day long, talking dirty words and teasing those long-legged women.

The master who rarely spoke a word to me finally managed to say a little more, but it was the last word that sealed the deal, "Zheng Dafeng, don't expect to reach the ninth level of martial arts in this life." ”

The man closed the book and fanned it vigorously by his ears.

Then his face darkened, he skillfully picked up the stool and ran back to the alley drug store.

The girl who dared to covet his beauty was so evil that she went home and changed it.Wearing a fancy dress, she began to wander around on the street again.

Returning to the drug store in fear, the man slumped on the shopkeeper's chair. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He raised his buttocks and wiped it. Wow, a beauty secretly sat on it. The chair was still stained. There is still warmth, but you can't squander it, so take a moment.

A young girl had a resentful look in her eyes. She reluctantly took out a few copper coins, threw them into the palm of a woman's hand, and then glared at the shopkeeper.

The man knew it in his heart and smiled. The ladies were betting on themselves to see if they could sense the beauty's warmth wisely. It was really naughty.

Someone came to visit. He was a handsome young man. From his dress, he could tell that he belonged to a wealthy family. But how rich was he? The woman in the drug shop was born in the city. The child is still shallow and cannot be seen. But men like to see beautiful women, and women like to see handsome men. What’s wrong with that?

Everyone in the shop was in high spirits, and the man suddenly became listless and said feebly: "Fan boy, what are you going to do again?"

The man said perfunctorily: "Young man Fan, you can't be in a hurry to break through the three realms."

The man thought that he had only taught the boy a little bit from beginning to end, and it was really not worth a lot of money. It was not as valuable as this inner city drugstore, and a martial artist of the fifth and sixth realms could teach him.

The man could not bear it. He lowered his voice and said seriously: "A pure martial artist is no better than a qi practitioner. The latter likes to travel thousands of miles a day and has terrifying talents. It's okay to break through a realm in a day." , but warriors are not good enough. No matter how qualified they are, they have to be down-to-earth and climb the mountain step by step. Sometimes, even when it is clear that they can break through, they have to press hard, and those physical impurities and spiritual flaws must be peeled off bit by bit and repaired bit by bit. . What you are doing now, the ointment I asked your father to make for you, and the hot spring that I created for you are all cultivation, which is what you need most at the moment, rather than rushing to the Qi Refining Realm."

The man finally smiled and said: "Okay, why did your father ask you to come? It's because you are too impatient."

In Lao Long The well-dressed young man in the city had droopy eyebrows and was ashamed.

It is really difficult to reach the fourth level from the third level of martial arts.

That’s why it’s called Ni BoSa Guojiang almost all depends on his own talent, and even the Seventh Realm martial arts master can't give guidance. The great master of the Eighth Realm Far Traveling Realm may teach a shortcut, but generally speaking, the Eighth Realm Qi Practitioner is easy to find, but how many Eighth Realm warriors can there be in such a large Aquarius Continent? There are only a handful of them! And almost all of them are nobles who have been tried hard to win over and respect the great dynasty. It is said that this also involves the illusory military destiny of a country. Where does it fall on Lao Longcheng? To put it bluntly, even if there were, the Fu family and the Sun family were richer than his family, so it would definitely not be the Fan family's turn.

The man patted his chest and promised: "Boy Fan, wait a little longer. As long as you reach the real bottleneck of the three realms, I will take action and won't let your Fan family's money go to waste." , when the time comes, it will be difficult for you kid not to break through."

The young man came to the shop full of sorrow and left the alley feeling refreshed.

Ancestors from the Golden Core Realm were secretly following and escorting them all the way.

You must know that a Osmanthus Island ferry has been assigned to the boy's name on the day he was born. Just wait for the day when he is crowned, and the annual sum can be transferred. The wealth has skyrocketed over the years.

As soon as the young man left, the women started chattering again, asking about the young man’s family background. The man stretched out a palm and made a pinching motion, his eyes passing over their chests. He said coquettishly: "It's an old rule of the drug store. If any of you are willing to spend money, the shopkeeper will tell her the identity of the boy, where he lives, and whether he likes plump ones or petite ones..."

None of the women took the bait.

The man said regretfully: "I can't bear to let go of my little lover, I really feel sorry for you."

The women had already dispersed, in twos and threes. Whispering, whispering something related to that young man.

The man slumped back on the chair comfortably and said to himself: "I, Zheng Dafeng, am as good as a woman as I was with the boy named Chen in his early years. , Brothers in trouble..."

This medicine shop owner named Zheng Dafeng came from Lizhu Cave. He used to be responsible for guarding the door and collecting a bag of gold and copper coins from people.

Not long ago, the master sent him a letter, asking him to prepare to help Chen Pingan break up the four "Zhen Qi Ba Liang Talisman".

But at the end of the secret letter, he also said that if Chen Ping'an could break through the situation on his own, Zheng Dafeng would make sure that the boy had a smooth life in Old Dragon City.

Zheng Dafeng turned to look at the alley outside the shop and murmured: "The boy from the Fan family, a martial arts genius in the eyes of the world, can only put up a few zhenqi half-catty charms at most. Right? Otherwise, the person named Chen will not be able to bear it. It has only been a few days.I haven’t seen you, but you’re already so fierce? Even if it comes to practicing boxing, how many years has it been since Chen Pingan learned the breathing technique?

The man laughed at himself and said: "Master, you really didn't accuse me wrongly. It is indeed my senior brother who is more understanding. I was very unfavorable to Chen Ping'an at the time." "

Suddenly, a girl was full of anger and screamed at the man: "Shopkeeper Zheng! Where is my book? Give it back to me! "

Zheng Dafeng coughed, took out the book from his arms and put it on the counter.

The girl blushed, "There are more ! "

Zheng Dafeng took out another piece of women's intimate clothing from his arms, wrapped it into a ball in his hand, and gently placed it next to the book. He explained with a guilty conscience: "What are you doing? The package was placed so openly, and a corner of the book was exposed, so I was a little curious. After taking the book, I found that the clothes were a little dirty, so I was kind-hearted and wanted to help you clean it..."

The man held the book and said seriously: "You misunderstood that I am not a gentleman. Even if I suffer this humiliation, because you are good-looking, I can forgive you, but the dirty clothes are dirty. You must not live up to my kindness in helping you clean it. ”

There was loud laughter in the drug store, mixed with the women’s laughter and curses, and the girls’ complaints.

Zheng Dafeng hugged his arms On the back of his head, he squinted and smiled

————

The outer city of Old Dragon City. A paradise sheltered by the Sun family, near the wooden bridge near the village.

The four mountain gods have removed the landscape formation. After all, it is not interesting to see a foreign boy arguing with a group of country children. .

As for whether the boy with the sword is a swordsman with a good disguise or a pure martial artist in the body training realm, the four of them still did not come up with a convincing result. He is a well-informed monk. Old Dragon City is the most mixed-race area in Aquarius Continent. Many capable people and strangers from the three continents in the east will pass through this place. Most of them are willing to be honored and become guests of the Fu family and the five major surnames. , accepted a small and medium-sized relationship, so the four Qi practitioners, who were very skilled in their own cultivation, could not talk about how they were astonishing to the young man.

But without exception, they all believed that the guest that Sun Jiashu brought to his ancestral home, whether he was a Qi practitioner or a pure martial artist, must be a very tacky young genius. Maybe the next time he comes here, the young man may have become a mature man. Hit the markYoung people, if they form a golden elixir as a guest, they will become members of my generation. Or reaching the seventh realm, it is expected that they can fight against the way of heaven with their martial arts body and travel far away in the wind. At that time, they will be the distinguished guests that the four of them need to show up to welcome, not just a friend of Sun Jiashu.

By the river, the children, led by two young swordsmen, began to encourage Chen Pingan to show off his swordsmanship to prove that he was a walking swordsman. A swordsman of the charlatan, not a charlatan who pretends to be a hero just by hanging a bottle of wine.

At first, Chen Pingan just missed his childhood, joking with these children and amusing them.

Later I discovered that although the child was young and innocent, he had never seen the real old Dragon City, let alone the martial arts and swordsmen.

But some of their feelings are real. For example, the bamboo sword child, although full of sarcasm, still has a hint of sadness deep in his eyes when he looks at Chen Pingan. Hope, hope that he will be the master of martial arts depicted in the villain's book, who can defeat evil people with his sword skills.

The wooden sword child is extremely eager to be able to worship an expert as his teacher. He has even thought about kowtowing and burning incense, just waiting for the "adult" in his eyes who is carrying the sword to be able to Unsheath the sword.

The rest of the children also opened their eyes wide, waiting for Chen Pingan to show off his skills so that he could brag to his parents when he went home for dinner.

Chen Pingan scratched his head, "Then let me show my hand?"

All the children pecked the rice neatly, and the boy with the wooden sword did not forget to Ji Jiangfa complained: "Mother-in-law, you are so unhappy. I see that you are a liar. Are you afraid that your secret will be revealed?"

Chen Pingan laughed and was about to subconsciously reach out and take it off. After thinking about it for a while, Yang Jianhu took his hand back and stopped drinking.

He turned his head and looked at the other bank. The river was four feet wide.

Chen Ping'an turned around and faced the river bank, "Watch it."

The children couldn't take their eyes away, not knowing what this guy was going to do.

Chen Pingan jumped twice on the spot and shook his legs.

Three realms break through four realms, which is said to be the clay Bodhisattva crossing the river.

Chen Pingan has completely forgotten about this incident.

Chen Pingan slowly raised his arm and reminded again: "Are you sure?"

The children nodded in unison.

Chen Pingan reached around his shoulder and held the locust wood sword in the wooden box. </p>

In an instant, he drew his sword and threw it to the other side of the river. Using his skill as a martial artist, the locust wood sword spun around in the air, then turned into a sword pointed straight at the other side, and flew straight away. , but it doesn’t fly fast.

"Let's go!"

Chen Pingan laughed loudly, tiptoed, and swept away, stepping forward and back with his feet. On top of the wooden sword.

It was a little wobbly at first, but after he stood firm, the young man seemed to be riding a flying sword against the wind, crossing the river.

Wow!

He is truly a magical swordsman, not a liar.

The children were all stunned, with faces full of envy and admiration.

Chen Pingan, who stepped on the sword to cross the river in the end, moved sideways and landed on a small field ridge on the other side of the river before the locust sword. Then he caught the falling locust sword.

He stood among the golden rapeseed flowers, and near his hands and feet, there were wisps of invisible Qi breaking and floating away.

Chen Pingan was shocked. First, he was no less stunned than the children. Then he turned to the children and stretched out a thumb, pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "My name is Chen Pingan." , is a swordsman!"

Chen Ping'an threw the locust wood sword in the direction of Sun's ancestral home. The force was heavy, so the wooden sword flew away quickly. , Chen Pingan stood up again to catch up, this time stepping on the sword to control the wind, he was already very familiar with it.

Finally, he has the charm of a young swordsman.

One person and one sword, cross the river again.

Chen Pingan stepped on the sword, crossed his arms across his chest, closed his eyes, raised his head high, and silently felt some kind of wonderful flow between heaven and earth.

Facing the breeze, Chen Pingan, who was relaxed, had already crossed the river with the Clay Buddha, so he was now in the fourth state.
