Chen Ping'an didn't wait for Ning Yao to finish speaking, and said angrily, Miss Ning, please wait a moment, and then Chen Ping'an transferred He turned around, took off his sword gourd and secretly took a sip of wine.
Ning Yao was a little confused.
Could it be that this guy did something to make him feel sorry for himself? For example, after coming all the way from Lizhu Cave to Daoxuan Mountain and owing a huge amount of debt, it was all written down on her head, Ning Yao?
For example, he lost the Shanshanquan manual early, and after only practicing a few thousand fists, he felt that his practice was useless, so now he carried the sword case and started to practice swordsmanship, and finally practiced Are you useless at boxing and sword training?
Or maybe Chen Ping'an is wandering the world, fools are blessed, and surrounded by a large circle of heartless confidante, who are now waiting for him in the inn?
Ning Yao thought about the East and the West, and the South and the North.
The only thing I never thought about was whether Chen Pingan had lost the sword Ruan Qiong had made.
How is this possible? Across mountains and rivers, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, he will definitely deliver the sword.
After drinking, Chen Ping'an suddenly stood up, walked down the steps, and faced Ning Yao. Behind Ning Yao was a Jingjian Pavilion, which seemed to be the ten thousand-year essence of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. God was there, and there were also the dogwood trees and the secluded bamboo. Chen Pingan was squatting at the base of the wall and thinking about many messy things. For example, in the poems recorded in the book, there was one person planting dogwood and one person sitting alone in the secluded bamboo. There were A Liang and the fierce characters, as well as those more historic engravings in the land of thunder and lightning. Chen Ping'an even thought about the first reunion between the two. It was definitely not like this, sitting on the steps of the upside-down mountain and then meeting her. .
Ning Yao sat leisurely on the steps, leaning back and resting her elbows lazily on the high steps. Her eyes narrowed, and her narrow eyebrows became more and more slender and attractive.
When Chen Pingan saw this scene, he couldn't say a word. He turned his head and took another sip of wine.
Chen Pingan just spoke.
Ning Yao suddenly raised his eyebrows, sat up straight, and asked: "Chen Pingan, when did you become an alcoholic?!"
Those words that I had finally mustered up the courage to reach my mouth like climbing a mountain were all frightened back to my stomach, as if they fell to their death from a cliff, and each one fell to pieces.
Chen Pingan sighed, squatted on the ground, remained silent, and scratched his head with both hands.
Ning Yao stood up and said with a smile: "Chen Pingan, you seem to have grown taller?"
Chen Ping'an stood up suddenly and stretched out his hand to signal Ning Yao not to go down the steps, "Miss Ning, wait until I finish saying this!"
The young man raised his head high and stood upright. He held the wine bottle tightly in his chest and looked at the girl wearing a dark green robe.
Ning Yao blinked, seemingly unable to guess what medicine Chen Pingan was selling in his gourd.
Chen Pingan said: "Miss Ning..."
He quickly shook his head and changed his title, "Ning Yao, I like you. "
Ning Yao sat back on the steps, "Speak louder if you can."
Chen Pingan shouted at the top of his voice, "Ning. Yao! I like you!"
Ning Yao asked: "Who are you?"
Chen Pingan smiled brightly and was not at all shy. The heroic Qianyun said: "Da Li Longquan Chen Ping'an!"
Although Chen Ping'an is also I know that after giving the sword to Miss Ning and spending some time together, it is best to get to know Miss Ning’s hometown and her friends in the Great Wall of Sword Qi again, and then decide whether to say it or not. This is the safest and best way. The bad outcome is that Ning Yao doesn't like him, but maybe they can still be friends.
But Chen Ping'an doesn't want to do this.
Ning Yao stood up again. She looked strange and asked Chen Pingan, "Is it so amazing to like someone?"
Chen Pingan I was confused and didn't know how to answer at all.
After someone confesses that they like her, do all the girls in the world ask this question?
Chen Ping'an couldn't help but complain a little about the masters of the old swordsman of the Song Dynasty in Shushui Kingdom and the old Zhouzi of Guihua Island. They had a crow's mouth and refused to teach their martial arts experience.
Ning Yao stepped down the steps, came to Chen Pingan, stretched out a hand, "Bring it here."
Oh Chen Pingan With a sound, he untied the knot, took off the wooden box on his back, pulled out the long sword forged by the saint Ruan Qiong, and handed it to the girl in front of him.
After Ning Yao took the long sword, she did not unsheath it to check the edge. She hung it on the right side of her waist. She went straight forward and just passed by Chen Pingan. .
When Chen Pingan suddenly turned his head and looked around, he only saw her raising one arm and gently waving goodbye.
Chen Pingan's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything, because all his strength and courage were used in the previous sentenceOn words.
He was unwilling to turn his head or look back for a long time.
She walked farther and farther, and her figure gradually disappeared into the night.
Chen Pingan turned his head, walked to where he was sitting on the steps, and began to mumble words that he had no time to say.
Miss Ning, how are you doing recently?
Miss Ning, I have seen a lot of interesting things during my trip, can I tell you about them?
Miss Ning, you must have never imagined that I promised you to practice boxing a million times, but now you are only short of 20,000 punches.
Miss Ning, do you know that when you smiled at my ancestral home on Mud Ping Lane, I felt that I was the richest person in the world.
Ning Yao, I saw A Liang, but Mr. Qi left.
Ning Yao, I have been to Huangting Kingdom, Sui Dynasty, Caiyi Kingdom, Shushui Kingdom, Laolongcheng, and many places. I have met many girls, but none of them are as good-looking as you.
Miss Ning, you asked me if I liked you before, and I said no. You didn’t seem unhappy. But now that I like you so much, you don’t seem happy. I’m sorry.
Miss Ning, I am very happy to meet you.

Gufeng Mountain In the white jade square at his feet, the little Taoist boy wearing a fishtail crown continued to sit on the futon and read a book. These days are important fasting days for Qingming Tianxia. Xuanxuan Mountain has never regarded itself as a vast world, so the road leading to the Great Wall of Sword Qi This gate will not be reopened until the day after tomorrow, otherwise this will be one of the busiest areas in Daixuan Mountain.
Because there are only people here, not goods.
The real transit hub is in the heart of the Hanging Mountain.
There are eight ferries nearby, including the Zhufang Pavilion and Shangxiang Tower. Each has a sloping downward road leading to the mountainside. In the early years, in order to determine whether it was necessary to cut through the mountain wall, they were built in the mountainside. In the new Dadukou, whether we should ask the master of Qingming World for instructions, the two brothers had a dispute. The Great Heavenly Lord of Xuanxuan Mountain thought that the general trend was the general trend. Why did Xuanxuan Mountain keep so much incense and not earn any money?
The Taoist boy whose real identity is not only the gatekeeper, but also the second most important person in Xuanxuan Mountain feels that the groundbreaking of Xuanxuan Mountain, as long as it involves the Shanziyin body, even the slightest bit, It is a great disrespect to Master.
At that time, the two quarreled and could not come up with an answer.They did not hesitate to fight over the case, and afterwards each lit three sticks of incense in Shangxiang Tower, which alarmed the master who had been staying in Tianwaitian all year round. The master first returned to Bai Yujing in Qingming World, and then personally issued a decree , the two senior brothers calmed down, but after that, the little Taoist boy who originally held the power and was almost as powerful as his senior brothers, got angry and stopped handling any affairs of Daixuanshan, leaving everything to the Great Heavenly Lord, and he just kept it like this A futon.
The man holding the sword sitting on the hitching post slept soundly throughout the day, but at night he was very awake, with eyes as bright as the bright moon and a smile on his face as he watched the excitement. , looking around, as if waiting for someone.
Waiting left and right, he became a little impatient when he didn't see the expected person. He jumped off the horse hitching post, walked around the mirrored door, came to the path boy and squatted next to him, listening to the sound of music in his ears. There was the sound of a Taoist boy slowly turning the pages of a book.
Little Taoist boy has been in a bad mood recently. Although he is a Taoist in the lineage of Mahatma, he is close to the Third Master Lu Chen. When he saw that sissy named Lu, Just annoying. The little sissy has a loud voice, which makes her even more annoying. Senior Brother Mahatma is still annoyed when he loses in a fight.
Why are there so many troubles in the world?
I had never been deceived by the little headmaster Lu Chen before to come to this world's hanging upside down mountain. When I stayed in that White Jade Capital, I didn't have so many worries. I accompanied the headmaster Lu Chen on the railing on the top floor every day. Take a walk on the street, waiting eagerly for Master to return to Baiyujing from Tianwaitian to recuperate. Occasionally, with good luck, you can meet Mr. Daozu who is rare in a century. Mr. Daozu is a busy man and rarely appears in Baiyujing, or in unknown secret realms. Wandering in the clouds helps stabilize luck and build a cave for monks to live and practice Taoism, or to observe Taoism in the small lotus cave. Of course, the Taoist ancestor no longer needs to realize Taoism. The so-called viewing Taoism, according to his master, is just watching. It's just other people's paths.
The little Taoist boy couldn't stand the man holding a sword next to him, "In the final analysis, she is still a little girl, what's so good about her."
The man holding the sword smiled and said: "You don't understand. I am a guilty person, and I am rarely interested in being punished here."
The little Taoist boy closed the book and grinned: " Hey, there is a great swordsman in the vast world just across the world, how small is his interest?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "With you? It’s really boring to chat with guys like this.”
The man added, “The couple next door are more compatible than us, but they are already starting to have fun. "
The little Taoist boy then became interested, "What are you betting on?"
The man holding the sword asked tentatively: "Borrow the futon. I’m half sitting?”</p>
The little boy remained motionless and sneered: "What do you think?"
The man no longer dwelled on this point and continued: "Old Yao next door When I bet the girl with the sword-wielding Taoist nun and return to the Sword Qi Great Wall before dawn, are we alone or two people?"
The little Taoist boy asked: "It can't be. Not even one?"
The man holding the sword shook his head and looked into the distance, "She will definitely return to the Great Wall of Sword Qi."
Xiao Dao. Tong asked: "Because of the glory of the surnames Ning and Yao?"
The man sighed with a complicated expression.
Little Daotong's eyes lit up, he waved his sleeves, and after silently reciting two names in his heart with the accent of Dongbaopingzhou, two green talismans were formed by drawing talismans with his hands, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. .
The man holding the sword flicked his fingers and smashed the two talismans, which were more ethereal than the smoke, and said angrily: "See no evil, and hear no evil."
< /p>There are two talismans, one is the echo talisman of heaven and earth, and the other is the breeze talisman. The former can move quickly between the heaven and the earth. As long as the conversation in a certain place involves the words silently recited by the person who drew the talisman, this talisman will Once it starts working, you can quietly record the conversation. If the latter blows the talisman on his face, he can find the character painted on the talisman and send back a picture.
Both are of high rank and extremely difficult to draw, but they are useless in the Taoist talisman line on the mountain, because whether it is an echo talisman or a breeze blowing face talisman, it is difficult to encounter magic. Places with strong restrictions and evil spirits will rapidly consume the spiritual energy of the talisman, such as hitting the mansion where the door god is in charge, the Wenwu Temple, the City God's Pavilion, mass graves, etc.
Even if the talisman paper is made of good material, it will cause a big backlash. If the movement is too loud, it will naturally be regarded as a provocation after being noticed by the monks. Following the clues, it is easy to find the person who drew the talisman. people, eventually causing disputes.
So the two talismans are only suitable for wandering investigation in "lawless" places.
But of course there is no problem for the little Taoist boy to control two talismans on his own territory in Daixuan Mountain.
It’s a pity that it was broken by the hanging mountain sword fairy with a snap of his fingers.
The man holding the sword asked: "Do you want to gamble?"
The little Taoist boy was not interested and shook his head and said: "I don't want to gamble, you are such a You are a bad gambler. The quality of your gambling is so bad that you can be ranked among the top three in Daoxuanshan. I will bet with you. If you lose the bet, I will definitely give you something. If you win the bet, you will definitely not get anything. No matter what the bet is, don’t bet. "
The man's mood was desolate, "I have no hope in this life. Even as a gambler, I can't be ranked first."
p>The little Taoist boy thought of an interesting thing, laughed and said, "Forget it, take a look at the two broken swords in the Jingjian Pavilion. Then look back at yourself and the people from all walks of life passing by. Whether it’s from the Great Wall of Sword Qi or from Haoran Tianxia, who doesn’t respect you? In their eyes, even the farts of you, the living great swordsman, are delicious.”
Holding the sword. The man was not angry and laughed at himself: "So, I am here to look after the door, so I really shouldn't have any complaints."
The little Taoist boy put down his book, held the back of his head with both hands, and looked up. Towards the sky.
The man murmured: "For ordinary people, a hundred years after leaving home, their hometown will almost become their hometown. For Qi practitioners, a thousand years will not count." , what about us, the prisoners and refugees who have been here for ten thousand years?”
Xiao Daotong did not answer this question.
Can’t answer.

The night is deep in Xuanxuan Mountain, and the scorching sun is high on the other side of the gate.
There are also two people sitting at the door, one each from Jianqi Great Wall and Xuanxuan Mountain.
An old swordsman in gray clothes was refining his natal flying sword openly, and standing next to him was a middle-aged Taoist nun wearing a magic sword.
The Taoist nun frowned and said: "Ning Yatou went to Daoxuan Mountain privately, which is against the rules. When the Lord Mahatma comes to hold her accountable, I will tell the truth."
The old sword cultivator nodded and said: "To be honest, I will bear the responsibility."
A group of boys and girls came from a distance, all of them are the famous darlings of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. .
Although almost everyone has a distinguished family background and can be called a proud son of heaven, in the recent war, in less than three years, these children have gone to war three times, and their friends have also There are two missing people. One young man, nicknamed Little Grasshopper, died in battle on the battlefield south of the city. The other completed his training and returned to the Confucian Academy.
A handsome young man, wearing two long swords hanging on his waist, one with a scabbard and a scripture, and the other without a scabbard, named Yun Wen.
A fat young man, born with a smiling face, but the most murderous, with a purple lightning sword on his waist.
A one-armed girl carries an ill-fitting sword on her back.
A dark boy with an ugly face and scars, wearing a sword and red makeup.
When the old swordsman saw these bastards, he didn’t have a good expression and continued to practice his sword.
On the other hand, Taoist Sister Shi Dao, who has no connection with any of the major families in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, has some sincere smiles., greeting all children.
To say that these guys are children is just because of their size and age. In fact, the bright future and height of achievements of each of them can be seen almost on the entire Sword Qi Great Wall. Especially when they walked up to the top of the city, then walked down the top of the city to the battlefield in the south, and experienced the battles first-hand, they had actually earned enough respect.
Sword Qi Great Wall, no matter what your last name is, you need to rush to the battlefield.
Of course there will be some differences, which lies in the cultivation level of the sword masters who protect the formation. Young and girl swordsmen from poor families can only accept the sword masters arranged by the Great Wall of Sword Qi. As for the children of those families with big surnames who go on an early expedition, there will definitely be people following them secretly. Most of them are powerful followers who have no mission for the time being. However, unless they are in a certain death situation, these people will not easily help them.
North of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, this soil is soaked inch by inch with the sword Qi passed down from ancient times to the present.
To the south, every inch is soaked with the blood of ancestors.
This group of people have different personalities. The fat man pestered Taoist Master Shidao and imitated someone to say bad dirty words, but he ended up being raped by that person instead. The Taoist nun from the Upside Down Mountain was said to be a stupid goose. The one-armed girl stared hard at the old swordsman's sword refining techniques. The handsome young man looked unhappy, and the dark-skinned young man looked at the door blankly. I heard that it was just a stone's throw away. There is a world under one roof, and there is only one sun and moon over there. The scenery over there is so beautiful that the young man cannot imagine what beautiful mountains and clear waters mean.
The handsome young man kept tapping the hilt of the sword with his palms, looking a little impatient, complaining: "If I see that guy, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but slash him with my sword. When the time comes, you guys You must stop me."
The fat man chuckled and said, "Why stop me? I'll chop you to death and pull you down. Then you will be chopped into pieces by Ning Yao, and you will lose two pieces at once. An eyesore, it kills two birds with one stone. Don't worry, I will keep the scriptures and the cloud patterns for you."
After making a joke, the fat boy felt helpless, "About that. Guys, Ning Yao didn't want to say more, just the same words over and over again, Li Zhudongtian's fool, bad guy, money obsessed... Why do I think, if I have to choose, is the nerd in the academy more lovable? After all, he has fought alongside us many times and saved Dong Heitan once. He is barely worthy of Ning Yao."
The ugly boy glared at Fatty.
How can the latter be afraid? He winked and went back.
The handsome young man asked: "Could it be that we are overthinking it? With Ning Yao's temperament, who can we fall in love with in this life?"
The one-armed girl thought about it seriously, and she closed the coffin and concluded: "It's difficult!"
————
In the middle of the night behind the hanging mountain, a heroic girl in a dark green robe with two swords hanging from her waist appeared near the foot of Gufeng Mountain. She walked straight into the mirror without even looking at the man holding the sword and the little Taoist boy.
In an instant, she walked out of the mirror again. The scorching sun was in the sky. She raised her head and subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
Inside and outside the gate, the man holding the sword, the young Taoist boy You Yuguan, the old swordsman in gray and the Taoist nun Shidao all looked at each other in unison.
As for the girl’s peers, the friends who were full of admiration and respect for her, they were all heartlessly relieved, feeling that Ning Yao was the only one who returned to the Sword Qi Great Wall today. , the weather is really nice.
As they walked, the charcoal-looking young man named Dong turned his head and said, "Sister Ning?"
Ning Yao snorted and sped up. Pace, keep up with them.
Go past them again.
The four people who were laughing and talking fell silent.

Outside the Jingjian Pavilion on Hanging Mountain, Chen Pingan stood up and planned to return Stork Inn.
Just after he got up, he found a couple of middle-aged men and women walking in the distance. They were dressed in elegant clothes. They were both plain-looking and smiling. They just glanced at him and said: He looked at Jingjian Pavilion behind him.
Chen Pingan lowered his head and pinned the wine gourd that he had never drank before leaving.
The woman smiled softly and said: "This is our first time visiting Jingjian Pavilion. I heard that it is very big. Do you have any special instructions or explanations?"
Chen Pingan stopped, thought for a moment, and nodded: "How about I take you for a walk?"
After the man and woman looked at each other and smiled, they both nodded: "Okay. ”
