Chen Pingan came to a platform in the center of the lake and looked around. He saw a clear lake with vast waves, rising clouds and mist, and hanging clouds on the lake. There are more than a hundred lofts, and there are paths connecting the lofts to each other, and each has a small boat for enjoying the scenery on the lake.
In all directions of the high platform, there are slim girls in green skirts, most of them in their prime, with outstanding looks, pointing the way to the guests.
The loft where Chen Pingan lives is called "Yu Yinshan Building". When he originally purchased the jade sign, the other party suggested that this building be three floors high and could be shared with several people, which would be more affordable. However, Chen Pingan After thinking about it, I declined.
I don’t think it’s strange about the treasure-swallowing whale ferry. It’s common sense for cultivators to like to be alone. However, if it’s hard to make money as a wild cultivator in the mountains and rivers, and they are used to being careful with their budgets, they still If you are willing to live on the same floor with strangers, you may be able to build relationships. On the road, having multiple friends, even just acquaintances who meet by chance, is still not a bad thing. Maybe when the time comes, it will be a big opportunity.
After being pointed out the direction by the maid in green skirt of Bishui Lake, Chen Pingan walked down the platform in the center of the lake and walked slowly along a path on the lake. From time to time, there were immortal masters stepping on their swords on both sides or above their heads. Or ride on the wind. Not long after Chen Ping'an walked out, there was a "beauty" behind him, holding the hem of her skirt and running in small steps, looking playful and charming.
Chen Pingan is a person who is not afraid of trouble. He served as a hard-working apprentice from Long Kiln, and then escorted Li Baoping and Li Huai to Sui Academy. In Chen Ping's care and care. But Chen Pingan is not afraid of this kind of trouble, but he is very afraid of another kind of illusory trouble, such as this Yin-Yang sorcerer named Lu Tai. Although Chen Pingan feels no discomfort intuitively, he is not as worried as when he faced Fu Nanhua and Cui Chan. Depressed and gloomy, but when he is not sure whether something is good or bad, Chen Pingan is used to making sure that something is "not bad" first.
On Xuanxuan Mountain, how many people dream of stepping into the Liu family's threshold in Yuantu Mansion?
After Chen Ping'an heard the term "Jingjian Pavilion next to Yuantu Mansion", he roughly determined the weight of the Liu family in Aai Aizhou. The first thing he did was to talk to that person. Liu Youzhou, who had a pretty good impression, drew a clear line. Maybe deep down in his heart, Chen Pingan still prefers the kind of solitude in Lizhu Dongtian. The feeling of living alone has long been unforgettable.
The descendants of the Lu family from the China-earth Divine Continent who called themselves Lutai walked side by side with Chen Pingan. How can you be stingy? Be generous and be generous, and the blessings you can accommodate will follow. You must have heard of Confucianism that a gentleman is not polite."
Chen Ping'an stopped? footsteps, turnLooking at this weird guy, "Why are you following me? Your good luck divination has nothing to do with me..."
Lu Tai said with a smile: "Why? No, I used the Grain Rain Money you gave me to predict the fortune. Your relationship is very important. You are the one in this game of chance..."
This It was Chen Ping'an's turn to interrupt him next time, "Gu Yu money is not given, but borrowed."
Lu Tai frowned like a woman's slender and charming black eyebrows and thought about it carefully. He asked loudly: "Always talking about money hurts feelings. Why don't we do a small business and I can give you a beloved magic weapon in exchange for some more Guyu money?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: " Then let's pay it forward."
Lu Tai said aggrievedly: "Why are you so afraid of me? Do you think I'm like a savage beast? We met each other while traveling together. How wonderful it is to see all the mountains and rivers?"
Chen Pingan's head was getting big.
It turns out that he doesn’t even know how to explain things that really don’t make sense in the world.
The two walked forward in silence. Chen Ping'an couldn't explain why. Lu Tai looked left and right and said to himself: "This secret place was once part of the Chuihua Little Cave. It was occupied by a female immortal who liked to collect spring water in the world. Unfortunately, she failed to ascend in the end. Not only did she die, but she was also counterattacked by heaven, which caused the entire Hanging Flower Cave to be shattered, and most of it disappeared between heaven and earth. This clear water lake It is one of the more famous ones, because the water in these three hundred miles of lake is one of the famous springs collected by the female immortal. As long as you can catch the fine water veins where the essence of the spring water is, it is most suitable for making tea. ”
Chen Pingan said nothing. After walking four or five miles, he saw the three-story Yuyinshan Tower. The tower was surrounded by corridors under the eaves, surrounded by white jade railings, and a small ferry. , there are two small boats docked. Not far from Yuyinshan Tower, there is a large lotus, and a lotus picking girl shuttles in the boat, humming country songs, soft and touching.
Chen Pingan stopped and reminded: "I'm here."
Lu Tai nodded.
Chen Ping'an saw that he was pretending to be stupid, so he had to ask directly: "I won't invite you to sit in today. I will go find you when I have time. What building do you live in?" "
Lu Tai pointed at Yuyinshan Tower.
Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Lu, please stop joking."
Lu Tai raised his hands and held a large handful of Xiaoshu money, " Just now at the Huxintai, I was forced to make a living, thinking that since our relationship was so good, there would always be a place for me to stay, so ISold his residence to an extremely wealthy god. "
Chen Pingan's face was a bit ugly.
Lu Tai quickly said: "Don't worry, I will never disturb your practice. Please lend me a A small boat is enough. I sleep on it every day. If there is nothing urgent, I promise never to go into Yuyinshan Tower. I brought some food to satisfy my hunger. You don’t need to worry about me. In this life, as monks, we are always on the wrong side of the road. There is no need to feel guilty, enduring hardship is also a kind of cultivation..."
Chen Ping'an's face turned dark.
How could there be such a shameless person in the world? Sugar character?
Lu Tai suddenly smiled, "Okay, okay, I will be honest with you. In addition to calculating that this trip to Tongyezhou is a 'Fenghou' On the sign, I actually calculated that this opportunity is not about the treasure, but the five words "go up to the balcony to observe the Tao". Walking with you, through your state of mind, whether good or bad, high or low, can sharpen my Taoist heart. This You can attack jade by borrowing rocks from other mountains..."
After saying this, Lu Tai chuckled and changed his words: "That's wrong, you can attack rocks by borrowing jade from other mountains. ! "
Chen Pingan did not care about Lu Tai's wording, but when Lu Tai said the word "Guan Tao", Chen Pingan was worried and relieved.
Don't worry, Lu Tai probably isn't talking nonsense, so it's not a conspiracy against Chen Ping'an. I'm worried that he is looking for the Taoist temple and the old Taoist, and there is another Lu Tai with unknown life experience. Isn't this an extraneous incident?
p>Lu Tai hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made a big decision, gritted his teeth and said: "If you are so wary of me, it will definitely affect my opportunity to become a Marquis of Guandao. I can help you tell your fortune seriously once. As long as you don't involve too powerful people, my predictions will be fairly accurate. But if it involves the gods of the upper five realms, I will suffer a lot. Compared with sleeping in a small boat, If you go up, you will suffer a thousand times more! Chen Pingan, this is a rare opportunity, don’t miss it! "
Lu Tai seemed to be afraid that Chen Pingan would not believe it, so he stared at Chen Pingan, "I won't lie to you! "
Chen Pingan sighed, waved his hand, and rejected Lu Tai's proposal. He just said: "You can live in Yuyinshan Tower, but after that, you and I will practice separately. Don't offend the river. ”
Lu Tai looked at Chen Ping’an’s back with a strange expression. He was stunned for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses, with some relief on his face, and quickly followed.
In the end, Chen Pingan lived on the first floor, and Lu Tai chose the third floor, which invisibly separated a second floor.
Lu Tai lay comfortably on the bed on the third floor, with a smile on his face. Lazy and contented, he smiled, haha, whether men and women are intimate or not.lt;/p>
As soon as it comes, make peace with it.
Chen Pingan no longer cares about the Yin Yang family disciple who is surrounded by clouds and mist. Except for the long sword on his back and the sword gourd on his waist, he actually has nothing else and is alone. It's easy, but the only drawback is of course the extra inexplicable land.
Chen Pingan sat at the table by the window and took out a stack of books from Fang Cun Wu Shi Fifteen. The fairy book "Mountains and Seas" introduced the respective elegances of the Middle Earth Divine Continent and Tongye Continent. Yan's two books, as well as several landscape travel notes obtained by Caiyi Kingdom, were placed neatly on the table, and then he took out some precious bamboo slips from Tianqing Mountain in Zhuhai Cave, intending to carve words while reading.
Practice Shanshan Quan every morning, practice "Sword Art Classic" in the afternoon, read books and learn Liangzhou Yayan in the evening.
It’s very strange. It’s obviously just a broken secret realm, but Bishui Lake still has the strange scene of the sun and moon rising and setting on the lake. It also has the distinction of day and night. I don’t know if it’s the immortal’s superior blindness. Or is it the unique rule after the Cave Heaven Paradise was broken?
Chen Pingan practiced boxing and walking around the corridor of Yuyinshan Tower.
The cool breeze blows, and the fragrance of lotus comes slowly. Amidst the faintly audible song of the lotus-picking girl, the young man in white makes a leisurely punch.
In the afternoon, Chen Pingan practiced sword practice only on the spacious first floor, and did not go to the corridor outside the building. He still held the sword in a virtual position.
Because carrying the "sword energy" of the long sword can temper the soul and is a practice in itself, Chen Pingan will not take off the long sword even when he goes to bed at night, choosing to sleep sideways.
The sword gourd is hung high in front of the bed. Now that I don’t drink often, I don’t have to hang it around my waist all the time. It is connected with the two young ancestors on the first and fifteenth day of the year. After traveling thousands of miles and getting along day and night, they became more and more in tune with each other and communicated more and more smoothly. It seemed that the intelligence of the two natal flying swords was becoming more and more mature.
After Chen Pingan fell asleep, he asked them to help look after the home and the home. Chuyi didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either. The more docile Shifuzhe "nodded" happily inside the sword-raising gourd.
While reading at night, Chen Pingan would temporarily take out the "Authentic Alchemy Book" from Fang Cunwu. After reaching the fourth level of martial arts, he found that he could draw two more kinds of talismans. In the "Mountain and River Sword Talisman", the mountain is a mountain of three mountains, but what three mountains are is not introduced in detail in the book. The explanation of the word "river" in this talisman is also very general and vague. It only says that there was a god who sat in the river and was responsible for "killing evil spirits". "Destroy evil spirits" and like to "devour all ghosts".
The Sword Talisman is a type of talisman. As for the second type of "Rain-seeking Talisman", it can "dark the sky and the earth and flood the sky with heavy rain." This talisman, as the name suggests, is one of the altar talismans. , mostly the masters of Taoist sects are good at it, while Chen Pingan is good at it.Not much interest.
Compared with the Yang Qi Lantern Talisman, the Dust-dispelling Dust Talisman and the Pagoda Demon Suppression Talisman, these two talismans are of slightly higher quality. Chen Pingan is particularly interested in the Sword Talisman, so he uses He wrote a piece of the most common yellow paper talisman with some reluctance. After Chen Pingan entered the martial arts realm, his soul became calmer and thicker. He could often hear the mysterious sound of the three souls passing by the heart lake. The sound of dripping water.
So Chen Ping'an could already see that this sword talisman did not have enough divine power, but how powerful it was. Because there was a Lu Tai living upstairs, he did not find a chance to confirm it.
Ten days later, I would occasionally hear slight footsteps on the second floor, but not many times. Lu Tai never went downstairs to disturb Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan felt slightly relieved.
As long as a fate comes to you for no reason, it is not a bad fate. There is no need to deliberately pursue good fate.
That night, Chen Pingan had just finished writing the second sword talisman, but he was still not satisfied.
Just like porcelain drawings, if an expert looks closely, two seemingly identical embryos can be seen to be completely different at a glance.
Could it be that we really need to find an ancient battlefield site and search for the ghosts of those battlefield heroes to continue fighting in order to achieve the perfection of the fourth level of martial arts? When will we be able to skillfully control this sword talisman?
Chen Pingan frowned in thought, suddenly turned his head, and saw Lu Tai walking down the stairs, then stopped and knocked on the wall, like a guest knocking on the door, and then he sat down with a smile. On the steps, I still haven't entered the first floor.
Chen Pingan was just about to pick up the book "Shan Hai Zhi" to cover the sword talisman. Lu Tai couldn't help laughing and said: "What is Zang Zang Ye Ye doing? It's just a lost ancient talisman." , The quality is not high, it is just pure and simple. I just accidentally glanced at it, and my heart was trembling with pain, and it is still hurting now."
Chen Ping'an asked. Said: "What's the explanation?"
Lu Tai pointed to the sword amulet on the table, "This amulet is very old. It is estimated that the entire Lu family is as old as me. I can't find anyone who can recognize it even though I'm not that big. The reason why I feel bad is, first, you are a pure martial artist and it's really embarrassing for you to write such a bad pure ancient talisman..."
Chen Pingan couldn't help but interjected: "It's unreasonable for a martial artist to draw amulets, right?"
Lu Tai twitched the corner of his mouth, "Oh? Is that so? Then It seems that the records of my Lu family's collection of books are wrong, or else I am short-sighted."
But Lu Tai did not want to go into depth on this topic, and continued: "Second, you. Drawing symbols relies more on the pen.It's not about your deep study and understanding of drawing talismans. Well, maybe you saw the right scenery, but the route you took to get to that scenery was crooked, so the talismans you drew were usable, but not very useful. Third, the talisman paper is of good quality, but it makes you a one-time deal, which is a waste of natural resources. At this point, you cannot be said to be a heretic, but a heresy. If an expert from the Taoist Fulu Sect sees this, he will want to punch you to death. "
Chen Pingan frowned and chewed Lu Tai's words carefully, first distinguishing the truth from the false, and then determining whether it was good or bad. However, Lu Tai was too mysterious, and it was difficult for Chen Pingan to draw conclusions.< /p>
Lu Tai asked with a smile: "Can you pick up the talisman? I will take a closer look at the material. I was not sure at first glance. ”
Chen Ping’an hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the sword talisman, but only gave Lu Tai the back of the talisman.
Lu Tai He smiled slightly, not paying attention to Chen Ping'an's cautiousness. After looking at it for a moment, he nodded and said: "It is indeed a precious material for the rejuvenation talisman. Draw a talisman on it and it can be used repeatedly. For a successful talisman, the quality and power of the talisman, as well as the quality of the talisman paper, are very important. Most of the really good talismans in the world, except for those who pursue extreme power, can be used repeatedly. As for you, according to the humorous saying of an ancestor of the talisman sect, it is called Zhu Yan's Cijing Hua Cishu. Well, in the final analysis, it means that you can't keep it. Live, Chen Ping'an, do you think it's a pity? Paper talismans, especially rejuvenation talismans, are very expensive. Alas, I feel sorry for you. Anyway, your Chen Ping'an family has a big business, so you don't need to care about this little money. ”
Chen Pingan glanced at Lu Tai, and then at the sword talisman that was placed on the table again.
Lu Tai was a little curious, holding both hands Holding his cheek, he looked at the somewhat annoyed young man at the table and asked with a smile: "Didn't the person who gave you these precious talismans tell you? Didn’t the person who taught you how to draw talismans tell you that you, an amateur talisman master, must be able to save everything? "
Chen Ping'an sighed heavily.
Lu Tai gloated: "A pure martial artist in the Seventh Realm can probably write a good talisman. It's just a breath of Qi, and it's all done in one go. It's a pity that a martial artist at this level has already reached the top of the mountain step by step, and his mind has already been as hard as iron. Who would run to draw the talisman? You are just lucky enough to have such rare talisman paper and talisman pens, so that you can finally draw good talismans. Otherwise, every time you draw one, it will be equivalent to burning a large pile of silver notes. Well, you are slightly better, but it is just equivalent to burning it. Half a stack of banknotes. "
Chen Pingan glared at the guy who was pouring salt on his wounds.
Lu Tai chuckled and said: "Chen Pingan, you too It's really interesting. The martial artist draws talismans, and raises sword gourds and flying swords. The most outrageous thing is that he has to study diligently every day? Aren't you afraid?Are you busy doing your job and delaying your martial arts practice? If you end up neither a donkey nor a horse, everything will come to an end? ”
Chen Ping’an ignored his cynicism, put away his sword and talisman, and began to read the book "The Chronicles of Mountains and Seas".
Lu Tai quietly Get up and return to your residence on the third floor.
After that, Lu Tai began to leave Yuyinshan Tower, or go boating to visit the Bishui Lake, or visit the treasure house that every treasure-eating whale has. The reason why the treasure whale is so called is that over the long years, it will swallow the wrecked ships that have sunk at the bottom of the sea. Ferries that can cross continents are often worthy of the term "treasure ship", so an adult whale In the belly of the treasure-swallowing whale, there must be all kinds of strange things and countless rare treasures.
It may even contain the remains of the golden body left behind by the immortal soldiers.
< /p>In the afternoon of one day, Lu Tai began to take out a set of almost cumbersome tea sets from a square inch, used secret techniques to capture the essence of the spring water of Bishui Lake, and began to leisurely make tea in the corridor on the first floor.
The fragrance of tea is pleasant.
Chen Pingan did not ask for a cup of tea, but just practiced swordsmanship in the house.
After that, Lu Tai would make tea every day and drink tea alone to enjoy the scenery, often sitting there for an entire afternoon.
One day, when noon was approaching, Chen Pingan was about to finish his walking practice. , saw Lu Tai rowing a boat back from a distance.
After tying up the boat, Lu Tai jumped onto the corridor and stood there, while Chen Pingan passed by while practicing boxing. He raised his hand high, with several boxes of rouge and gouache stacked on top of his palm, probably showing off his today's harvest to Chen Ping'an. Not far from the center platform of Bishui Lake, there were several buildings dedicated to ferry sales. Chen Ping'an has only been to this place once. He thought it was too sinister. He selected a few similar items and found that the prices were even more exaggerated than those of Hanging Mountain, so he gave up the idea of buying anything.
Lu Tai tiptoed, jumped back slightly, sat on the white jade railing, opened one of the boxes of rouge, took out a small bronze mirror, and began to purse his lips. Then he raised a finger and smeared his long eyebrows with his fingertips. The movements were gentle and meticulous.
Chen Pingan just continued to practice boxing along the corridor, from beginning to end, without squinting.
Chen Pingan continued to practice. Once when he was passing by, Lu Tai, who was sitting on the railing and drawing his eyebrows carefully, slightly moved the small bronze mirror and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?" ”
Chen Pingan did not look at Lu Tai, who was wearing rouge and pink, nor did he talk to him.
Then every time Chen Pingan passed by, Lu Tai would I want to ask a different question
"Chen Pingan, do you think blush is good?Is it a little more glamorous? "
"Should the eyebrows here be drawn a little thinner? "
"Using Hualuzhai's thin hairpin to pick out the rouge from the box will indeed be more symmetrical and natural, what do you think? "
Chen Ping'an just walked around silently, and stopped practicing boxing when the time came as planned.
For the last time, Lu Tai did not ask Chen Ping'an Ping An, just put the small bronze mirror, hairpin and several rouge boxes on the railing beside him, turned his head to look at the large lotus leaves, his makeup was exquisite, and his eyes were blurred.
Chen. Just as Pingan was about to walk back to the main entrance on the first floor, Lu Tai did not look away and spoke again, "Do you think a man like me is...ridiculous? Even feel a little nauseous in your heart? "
Chen Ping'an stopped, turned and walked towards the landing platform. About five or six steps away from the landing platform, he faced the lake with his back to the corridor, and also sat on the railing.
Lu Tai was not upset when he didn't get the answer. He smiled to himself and picked out a box of rouge. He felt that the quality was not good and the name was not worthy of the name. He would not use it again in the future and ordered Throwing it into the Bishui Lake
Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "How much does this box of rouge cost?"
Lu Tai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and sat down, facing the lake together, and said with a smile: "It's not too expensive, one Xiaoshu Money per box, new this year, It is very famous, and many famous fairies in the Middle-earth Divine Continent love to use it. Alas, it is probably the trick of those businessmen who are fooled by lard, and I collaborated with them to deceive them. "
Chen Pingan sighed with emotion: "A small summer coin is a hundred snow coins, a hundred thousand taels of silver, I think..."
After a moment's pause, Chen Ping'an, with the breeze blowing on his face, said softly: "It's hard to buy a good heart. If you buy it, it may not be expensive, but some people may be dumbfounded after hearing the price, and they won't even kill them." I will believe that there is such a good rouge and gouache in the world. "
Lu Tai was a little confused, "Huh? "
After a moment of silence, Chen Ping'an, who was dressed in a snow-white robe, folded his hands on his knees and told Lu Tai the story of the sissy man from Longyao in his hometown.
Chen Pingan spoke lightly, his tone was not serious, and his expression was not serious, and he told the pitiful life of a dead person to the man around him.
He wears a ribbon around his waist and has a high-spirited look. He is a man among gods, more beautiful than any real woman in the world.
But the man in his hometown is just a little thinner and even has a beard. The scumbag is no better-looking than a market woman, even though he looks like a scumbag every morning.He will clean himself up clean and fresh, but when the work is over, his fingernails will still be full of mud, so the man twirling his orchid fingers will not be the least bit attractive.
And he doesn’t know what Feixia makeup or peach blossom makeup is, nor can he distinguish various rouge and gouache for lips, cheeks, and eyebrows.
Chen Pingan finally looked into the distance, a little sad, "In the end, I still think he is a very strange person. He is obviously a man, why does he like to dress up like a woman. But That day, before he stabbed himself to death with a piece of porcelain and covered himself with a quilt, he asked me for something, but I didn't agree. To this day, I still regret it. If I had known he would do that, I would have definitely agreed. "
"He talked a lot with me that day, and finally said with a smile that he planned not to look like a woman again, so he hoped that I could keep the box of rouge for him so that he would not tolerate it again. I can’t stop.”
“How could I agree to such a thing at that time? I won’t agree to it after my death. He tried to persuade me twice and stopped trying.”
"After he died, no one saw the box of rouge, and in fact no one cared."
Chen Pingan turned his head and looked at the person with a smile. The alluring beauty Lu Tai asked, "Why did you throw away such expensive rouge?"
Lu Tai tilted his head, and the exquisite beaded hairpin tilted accordingly, and said with a smile: "Otherwise Give it to you? When you return to your hometown, you take this box of rouge to that guy's grave and tell him that there is such a good rouge and gouache in the world. You want him to be a good girl in his next life and put it on his face. You can apply it as hard as you can, and you don’t have to worry about money anymore..."
Chen Pingan turned his head, looked into the distance, and shook his head gently, "I can't even bear with him. How can I show him this and tell him this when I can’t even find his grave?”
The young man in white with clean eyebrows held the back of his head in both hands and remained silent.
