It’s just a story. If the mud seal of a jar of old wine has been removed, you can only drink it until it’s all gone.
This jar of old wine, this little thing, seems to have been aging for many years in Chen Pingan’s belly. Once opened, when you meet the right person, the wine will smell and age. Ping An will only meet the right person and drink with him.
Lu Tai is the person who drinks with him.
Even if Chen Pingan likes, respects and is close to people such as Ning Yao, A Liang, Liu Xianyang, Gu Can, Taoist Zhang Shanfeng and others, Chen Pingan has never mentioned this incident.
Unfortunately, after hearing this story, Lu Tai didn’t seem to have much impression. In the end, he teased Chen Ping’an and asked me if he told me this, does it mean that men like me who are unreasonable and unconventional are not very popular? A good ending, but not even a grave in the end?
Chen Ping'an couldn't help laughing and had to jump off the railing and return to the first floor.
For some reason, Chen Ping'an felt much better after talking to Lu Tai in a casual conversation. After talking about this old incident of sesame seeds and rotten millet, Chen Ping'an felt much better, as if his knot had been relieved.
The sword practice that afternoon was also in the avalanche style. I felt less stagnant and more rounded.
After that day, Lu Tai changed his attire, wearing a green shirt with a hosta on his head, and holding a yellow bamboo folding fan. He changed from a stunning beauty to a handsome young man. Chen Pingan was relieved, so even if Lu Tai walked to the first floor from time to time to either browse through his collection of books or make a pot of tea and watch him practice swordsmanship seriously, Chen Pingan didn't say anything.
Lu Tai is indeed a member of the Yin Yang family who is known as the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He told Chen Pingan many things that he had never heard before, such as the internal and external divisions of boxing and sword fighting. In addition, he also talked about the precautions and some suggestions for polishing the fourth realm. After a pure martial artist reaches the Qi Refining realm, there are many things to pay attention to in how to conquer the three souls. The three souls of the human body, the fetal light is the yang energy of Taiqing, and the martial artist To temper this soul, it is best to choose a time when the sun is rising and the morning glow is brilliant. Practice the boxing without slacking off and be sincere and open the metal and stone. Maybe there will be a chance coincidence to make the embryonic light of one of the three souls stronger and full of vitality. .
When Lu Tai mentioned this matter, Chen Pingan was ashamed and guilty.
At the beginning of the opening of the three realms in the Sun family's ancestral home in Old Dragon City, a golden dragon rushed down from the sea of morning clouds, but was punched back by him, and it was not Once, twice.
Lu Tai was kneeling and sitting by the window. After changing his attire, he had a high crown and long sleeves, and he was a scholar. He drank the essence of the famous spring of Bishui Lake. He was so quick-witted that he immediately saw the clues about the tea that was served out. He then inquired deeply about the martial arts cultivation, and Chen Ping'an told everything about it.Lu Tai squirted out a mouthful of tea on the spot, stretched out his thumb towards Chen Pingan, and said that the masters who taught you Chen Pingan's talismans and boxing skills were probably all casual and gentle people.
Chen Pingan asked if there was a remedy. Lu Tai thought for a while, drank a cup of tea, and said that when he came to Tongye Island, he could try his luck and go to some places where gods still patrol the earth. In the Wushengren Temple, many amazing and talented martial artists in history were blinded and killed in the Wushengren Temple, and got a great opportunity. At this point, Lu Tai felt a little sad, saying that before he left home to travel, he heard from his master about a young martial artist from the Daduan Dynasty, whose aptitude and talent were astonishing, and so powerful that several gods from the Martial Saint Temple came to visit him. , all wanted to give him a martial arts luck, and that guy was even more outrageous than Chen Ping'an, and even punched away the martial arts gods who took the initiative to show their kindness.
Chen Pingan guessed that it was probably Cao Ci who was cultivating on the Sword Qi Great Wall.
Lu Tai mentioned it casually, not only to warn Chen Pingan, but also as if he was reflecting on himself, whether he was a pure martial artist or practicing on the mountain,
On the road, luck is very important, but whether you can catch it or not is even more important. This is the principle of good and bad fortunes, and there are countless examples of geniuses dying young.
Chen Pingan is convinced.
But Lu Tai immediately changed the topic and said that it is not good for you, Chen Pingan, to be so reclusive, afraid of all troubles, never actively pursuing opportunities, and only thinking about avoiding opportunities.
The reason why Lu Tai had this "complaint" was not only that Chen Pingan was unwilling to interact with him at first, but also because the treasure-eating whale opened the fourth broken ship some time ago. The entrance to the secret realm of the Blessed Land is restricted, and passengers are allowed to enter and explore. As long as the passengers pay a Guyu coin, they can enter and practice practice. The ferry will not ask for any income, but if someone is willing to convert it into snow and sell it on the spot, the treasure swallowing whale Of course you are welcome.
This treasure-swallowing whale is unique to the Five Arms Sect of Jinjiazhou. This secret realm contains many remnants of ancient spells. It is extremely difficult to open and the cost is huge. After obtaining this secret realm, In accordance with the general practice, the Five Soldiers Sect "eated" alone for a hundred years, but in the end they found that the gains outweighed the losses, so the Five Soldiers Sect simply opened this place called "Dengzhen Wonderland" to the outside world, learning from the Li of Aquarius Continent. Zhudongtian only charges a toll.
Dengzhen Fairyland has a territory of thousands of miles in radius. It is just a broken land. Its size is comparable to that of the entire Lizhu Cave. It can be ranked among the seventy-two blessed lands. It is so vast. , indeed far superior to Thirty-Six Cave Heaven.
This secret realm is opened once every ten years. Only Qi practitioners under the Golden Core Nascent Soul are required to enter. There is no threshold requirement for pure martial artists. Two hundred years ago, there was a man from Fuyao Continent. Lucky man, but a caveAfter practicing in the realm, I actually got a powerful semi-immortal weapon. I probably felt that the divine general's halberd was not suitable for me and it was not suitable for me, so I sold it to the Five Weapons Sect. It can be said that I became rich overnight. Later, with my wealth, I He relied on money to get himself into the golden elixir realm. One Guyu coin exchanged for a golden elixir cultivation level. Who wouldn't envy him?
This incident caused a sensation in Jinjiazhou, and the number of Qi practitioners who poured into Dengzhen Fairyland was like crucian carp crossing a river. In the early days, it took a very strong relationship to get in line, and it was no longer a small number. After three hundred years of coming and going, various blessings and magic weapons appeared in the world, but they were not as exaggerated as the semi-immortal soldiers. The search for Dengzhen fairyland gradually became less popular, but it was still A resort that makes people feel that it is worth the money.
But of course Lu Tai knew that this "good start" was probably the work of the Five Arms Sect under the guidance of business experts.
Having the same virtue as that box of rouge that is popular in several continents, they are working together to deceive people.
But Lu Tai knew clearly the reality and depth of Dengzhen Fairyland. Master said that if he was interested and had leisure, he might as well go there and see if he could pick it up. Some junk worth a small fortune.
Why did Lutai take the treasure-eating whale this time?
Of course the divination and the opportunity are the most important, but entering the Dengzhen Fairyland is also a windfall that Lu Tai is determined to get.
Lu Tai originally tried his best to invite Chen Pingan to enter the Dengzhen Wonderland together to search for immortals and magical treasures. However, in the end, Chen Pingan even agreed to lend Lu Tai another Guyu coin. I still insist not to gamble my luck.
Lu Tai had no choice but to enter alone. Two decades later, he left Dengzhen Fairyland in a dusty state. On the same day, he returned Chen Pingan three Grain Rain coins, and the extra one was said to be interest. After Chen Ping'an listened to Lu Tai's story about his travels and huge gains, he accepted it with peace of mind. It turned out that Lu Tai relied on his family's yin and yang skills to break the restrictions of an ancient fairy mansion. There were many surprises along the way, and he almost became that person. The owner of an ancient immortal mansion only voluntarily gave up control of the blessed land mansion because of the rules set by the Five Arms Sect, and made a private transaction with the Five Arms Sect in exchange for Guyu money, a lot of it. Because Wubing Zong's cross-continental trade requires Xiaoshu money and Guyu money in many places, Wubing Zong owes Lutai a temporary credit, which will be fully repaid within half a year, and an additional bonus will be added.
Don’t think that the Five Weapons Sect suffered a huge loss. In fact, this is not the case. After the originally useless Immortal Mansion was successfully opened by Lu Tai, due to its abundant spiritual energy and suitable for practice, the distinguished guests of the Treasure Whale, For example, Jindan Yuanying, an earthly immortal who is high in the eyes of the world, would be willing to live there. The stream of water will flow, and the Five Soldiers Sect will not lose at all. Businesses make money, and huge profits are certainly good, but this kind of "money vein" with stable income is A long-lasting foundation. </p>
Lu Tai became the third lucky person in the history of Dengzhen Secret Realm.
In addition, Lu Tai obtained an ancient method of ascending to immortality from the Immortal Mansion, and a superior magic weapon called "Aoshan Fantasy Tower".
Landai did not sell these two opportunities.
But even if Lutai truly proved that Chen Ping'an missed out on a great fortune, Chen Ping'an still didn't have many emotional ups and downs. He just put the Guyu money he earned on the table. Occasionally when he gets tired of reading, he turns over the Guyu money with his fingers and lets it roll around on the back of his hand. For Chen Pingan, this is a good way to relieve fatigue and has immediate results.
This made Lu Tai very depressed.
I said many sincere words, but Chen Pingan remained unmoved.
So every time Lu Tai made tea, he had no intention of inviting Chen Pingan to drink with him. Of course, Chen Pingan probably had no idea himself.
Lu Tai is an out-and-out fastidious person. He did not do it deliberately, but he was born into a wealthy family for thousands of years, and he is also a family of immortals. It is not comparable to ordinary human beings, so Lu Tai The temperament of the stage is completely natural. It is both beautiful and beautiful, and it is also influenced by the ears and the eyes.
To compete with tea, you need to be new. The techniques and tea sets should be ancient. The spring water for making tea should be clear and heavy. Tea drinkers should be pure and spiritual.
Lu Tai has been with Chen Pingan for a long time, but he has always felt that Chen Pingan is too rigid, so he has more than enough spirit but not enough spirit.
I will still live up to his good tea.
Just like today, Lu Tai took the opportunity to mention this sad incident: "Money fell from the sky like rain, but you, Chen Pingan, went to take shelter under the eaves." Chen Pingan Just stay silent and don't speak.
Lu Tai felt that he really couldn't wake up this elm knot, and probably gave up trying to persuade Chen Ping'an, so he casually said a big and unworthy empty word, but the world is so unpredictable, Chen Ping'an Not only could I listen, but I was extremely serious.
"Chen Ping'an, when you practice boxing and swordsmanship, your mind is very calm. This is your great strength, but you have to be careful. Being calm does not mean that your mind is dead. Your state of mind is as calm as still water. Avoid a pool of stagnant water."
This was what Lu Tai said casually, and even he thought it was nonsense.
But for the first time, Chen Pingan took the initiative to stop the boring sword rack and sat in front of him. He followed Lu Tai's posture of kneeling and drinking tea, which was a bit awkward. Lutai's free and easy style, the difference between cloud and mud, is like an old farmer in the crop field. When he sits down and talks like the old master, he only shakes his head and pretends.
Lu Tai found Chen Ping'an's posture quite amusing. Among the younger generation of the Middle-earth Divine Continent, Lu Junyan, known as the invincible tea-fighter, looked sideways at Chen Ping'an, who was feeling uncomfortable. What do you think? How interesting, Chen Ping'an naturally became more cautious after giving him such a look.
Chen Pingan still yearns for true scholars.
Because of Mr. Qi, Li Xisheng, and Caiyi Guocheng Huangye Shen Wen, even Zhang Shanfeng's temporary poem recitation and pairing will make Chen Ping'an yearn for it.
Chen Pingan overcame the discomfort in his heart and asked: "Are you saying that my character has gone to the extreme?"
Lu Tai was stunned for a moment. , he was extremely talented and intelligent, and he did not deal with it perfunctorily, nor did he dare to make any judgments.
If he were an ordinary person, Lu Tai could make random nonsense or say some good or bad things.
But not today.
The two sat opposite each other, Chen Pingan had a serious look on his face, and Lu Tai smiled bitterly in his heart, as if he had drawn a wall into a prison.
But Lu Tai suddenly thought and felt a little dazed. Why did he come so early? I thought that only by setting foot on the land of Tongyezhou and traveling along with me through all kinds of ups and downs and tribulations would the signs of this opportunity appear. I never expected to be so caught off guard. Lu Tai stabilized his mood, began to hold his breath and concentrate, and solemnly handed Chen Pingan a bowl of tea, "Drink slowly. When you finish drinking, I will tell you some of my opinions."
Chen Pingan I didn't know the significance of it, so I just thought it was an ordinary question and answer session, so I nodded, took the tea bowl, and took a sip.
After the turmoil on Guihua Island, Chen Pingan met the old boatman who had loved Mrs. Gui for hundreds of years. He was not only the first punter on Guihua Island, but also Lu Chen’s friend before his ascension. With the only servant, we traveled across the sea and around the world. At that time, Chen Ping'an had a strange dream. He entered a certain book and "read all night". In the small world created by the old Zhouzi at the ferry, he had some questions and answers with the old Zhouzi, so that the Zhouzi actually said: " Don’t destroy my avenue.”
At that time, Chen Pingan was roughly talking about the two ends of a ruler.
He believed that Zhouzi's principles were taken to an extreme and seemed reasonable but were actually unreasonable.
Because it is not perfect enough, it is not as good as the "moderate" mentioned in the book.
The root of Taoism is the four characters of Taoism and Nature.
So when he was studying in his dream, Chen Pingan vaguely remembered someone saying that Confucian principles are never about the height, not how high they are, but whether the principles are implemented in reality.
The man even laughed and said, our Confucian sage teacher, the knowledge is so profound and superb, but after asking once, they all sighed to a disciple privately, and even felt a little ashamed, saying that someone's way is really high, but...
It's a pity that Chen Ping'an can't remember even a little bit of the content after "but", not even a word. It may be that the person or the book didn't say it at all.
When Chen Pingan asked this today, of course he was not asking Lu Tai. Chen Pingan didn't think much about it.
Chen Pingan has been practicing boxing since then and after studying.
Have you really not thought about your future?
Of course it’s impossible. We had a sixty-year agreement with Sister Sword Spirit Immortal, and now we have another ten-year agreement with Ning Yao.
Chen Ping'an's two "tours" have even changed from the initial "my punch must be the fastest" to "this punch can be faster, but It must make the most sense.”
One of Chen Ping'an's most important words may have been ignored by those who heard it at the time. It was at an inn when he was returning to his hometown. He was talking about the girl in pink skirt and As the boy in Tsing Yi said, "If I did something wrong, you must tell me."
Chen Pingan's mentality, no matter how many punches he received from the old man at Shanzhulou, Chen Pingan was always doubting himself.
But this is a step that must be taken.
As for Chen Pingan's previous state of mind, or his illusory original intention, the same unintentional words by Chen Pingan have revealed the secret. They were said to Ning Yao's parents on the upside-down mountain.
That means Chen Pingan has been denying himself.
"What I did was not good enough."
If I didn't do it well enough, it was wrong.
How many people in the world would be so harsh on themselves?
However, this kind of mentality was not formed for no reason, but because of the shattering of his destiny, the hardships and hardships that followed, and various coincidences, forcing Chen Pingan to piece together a complete picture of his mood. An unintentional and inevitable move.
It’s done, gathering into a spectacle of the sun and the moon in the sky, and the stars dim.
No, it may be all kinds of broken promises and all kinds of disappointment.
If a person has nothing to eat, he will starve to death, but if his heart is dry, he will also want to die, but he is not aware of it. If he does not die today, he will die in the next year.
Desperately trying to survive, facing adversity and desperate circumstances, getting angry and working hard.
But they secretly seek death, overeat and overeat, do not know restraint, have seven emotions and six desires, and have a wandering mind. All kinds of shortcomings are the weirdness of the human heart.
The human heart is so complex that even saints and immortals dare not think they can understand it.
Why Cui Chan lost in a small town is an example.
Following this line of thinking, Chen Pingan's state of mind becomes very clear. It was my fault, Chen Pingan, that almost killed Liu Xianyang, so I died when I died. After talking about my story, The truth that the other party doesn't want to hear will be settled once and for all.
Even if it was the death of the sissy man in Longyao, Chen Pingan did not agree to accept the rouge box from the man.
Chen Pingan still felt that he was "wrong".
When a person truly begins to understand the world,
I have seen the towering mountains, the endless winding rivers, and the The incomparably high and magnificent scene, maybe even the romance of those scholars, the yamen and official uniforms that symbolize the majesty of a country, the impermanence of birth, old age, illness and death, the seemingly heroic but cold-blooded cavalry, a At a certain moment, people often suddenly feel very small.
This feeling is probably loneliness.
It is difficult to empathize with sadness, sharing of happiness always fleeting, life is just a series of farewells...
Chen Pingan’s thoughts on this world , actually full of fear.
Liu Xianyang, Li Baoping, and Gu Can are not like Chen Pingan.
Gu Canhui is obsessed with revenge.
Li Baoping will feel that there are always interesting things of this kind in the world. Immersed in his rich and colorful inner world, Li Baoping will almost never question himself, let alone deny himself easily.
That's why she was able to say "How could there be a junior uncle who doesn't like Li Baoping?"
Liu Xianyang would speak from the bottom of his heart. He said, I want to see higher mountains and bigger rivers, and I must not die in this small place!
But Chen Pingan won't. He may do many things, such as taking Li Baoping and the others to Sui Dynasty, but Chen Pingan's mental state and image will hide.
Chen Ping'an's thoughts and thoughts are generally "immovable".
Having been firing porcelain in the Long Kiln for many years, the young man has been seeking a steady hand. In fact, he is stubbornly pursuing a calm mind.
If he is unsure, he will resent Song Jixin for being rich, and be jealous that he has someone to depend on and can study.
Yes
This is why even though Ruan Qiong has no prejudice against Chen Pingan, he never regards Chen Pingan as a comrade and is unwilling to accept him as his colleague. The root of discipleship.
This is also why Lu Tai feels that Chen Pingan is not spiritual enough.
So the young man's state of mind that Sword Spirit saw at the beginning was that of a young child guarding the grave and the top of the mountain, wearing straw sandals.
The only "movement" " is a figure chasing someone south.
That figure was actually Ning Yao who left with his sword.
So Chen Pingan chose to give the sword to the girl he loved. Compared with the trepidation and walking on thin ice when he went to Sui Dynasty, he finally had more independent will.
"I want to take this journey."
I, Chen Pingan, want to do something for myself.
So even though he envied Li Er of the old Dragon City, even if Chen Pingan had an extra burden on his shoulders after arriving at the Sword Qi Great Wall, Chen Pingan was more relaxed than before.
So Chen Pingan changed out of his straw sandals and put on a robe. He wanted to become a sword immortal, and a great sword immortal who could carve words on the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
Since I only dared to buy five hills, I quickly rented out three of them, thinking that I would give all my belongings to Liu Xianyang who had left his hometown in one go, and to give it to the girl in pink skirt around the New Year. and the boy in green, nearly half of the top-grade snake gallstones... From a person who said "since I can't keep it, then give it to the people I care about" to the current Chen Ping'an, it has been completely changed.
All of this is hard-won.
Why did the old scholar, the literary sage, get drunk and pat Chen Pingan on the head and say that the young man wants to
It was because the old man saw through the young man at a glance mood problems.
Young people should not be like this. When they are quiet and thoughtful, they should take off their burdens and easily do the beautiful things that young men should do.
It is just a principle in the world. Whether you have heard it or not, and whether you know it or not is one thing. How to do it is another thing.
How to implement the principles in the book and out of the book into practice is even more difficult.
Chen Pingan drank tea one sip after another. Before Lu Tai was about to tell his answer, Chen Pingan suddenly spoke and said, "Even if I'm not familiar with you, even if I have to do it again and again, Even if I lend you money, I don’t want to contact you, let alone go to the fairyland. It’s actually very simple, because I am afraid of death.”
In my hometown town, I met one after another.For Cai Jinjian, Fu Nanhua and Mountain Moving Ape, Chen Pingan thought that he was almost dead.
This is the second time in Jiaolonggou.
There are only three things to do.
Chen Pingan slowly put down the finished tea bowl and said with a smile: "Whether you believe it or not, I can never catch good things that rely on luck."
p>Chen Ping'an thought to himself and said: "I just thought about it and felt that I might have been right before, but if it is still like this now, it is wrong. If you want to go further in practice in the future, you have to take your time. Corrected."
Lu Tai looked strange and a little solemn.
He was actually using Lu's secret mind-observation power just now to peek into Chen Ping'an's state of mind.
Chen Pingan picked up the tea bowl and asked, "Can I have another bowl?"
Lu Tai said angrily: "Do you think you're drinking?"
But I still gave Chen Pingan a bowl of tea.
Chen Pingan continued: "But if I don't follow you to Dengzhen Fairyland, I think it's right. Maybe if I enter Dengzhen Fairyland with you, you won't even be able to earn any money. Money. Now, you have made a lot of money, and I have made three Grain Rain coins, which is good."
Lu Tai himself had stopped drinking tea, put his hands on his knees, and said with a smile. : "You lent me two, but you actually only earned one."
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, then said frankly, "I think it's three."< /p>
Lu Tai couldn’t laugh or cry.
This guy never thought he would pay back the money?
Chen Ping'an drank tea that he would definitely not be famous for, and said softly: "You have to have a little extra. If you miss it, you miss it. You can't have everything and everything. Lu Tai, What do you think?"
Lu Tai was stunned, and then laughed: "Chen Pingan, you are hiding from that one!"
Chen Pingan Drinking a bowl of tea while feeling confused.
Lu Tai immediately looked angry, leaned forward, grabbed the tea bowl from Chen Ping'an, waved his sleeves, put away all the tea sets, stood up angrily, and glared at Chen Ping'an. Ping An, "Go to the balcony to watch Taoism. You all know who is watching Taoism and who is Tongye Fenghou. I am a little Tongye Fenghou. I am nothing! I am in trouble!"
< /p>Lu Tai walked up the stairs and left, making the stairs creak.
Chen Pingan scratched his head blankly, feeling that Monk Zhang Er was confused.
For a long time after that, Chen Pingan was a little miserable. Lu Tai changed back to women's clothes. Not only did she dress up in a fancy way, but she also made a show of herself. She came here on the first floor every day to deliberately disgust Chen Pingan.
No matter how good-tempered Chen Ping'an is, he can't stand the endless smell of powder and orchid fingers, as well as the extremely annoying winking and coquettish voice, so one morning he sat on the railing of Lutai and hummed During the song, Lu Tai was punched so hard that he fell into the clear water lake.
Lu Tai rushed out of the water angrily. He was like a drowned rat. He resisted stabbing Chen Pingan to death with his two natal flying swords, the needle point and the wheat awn. In the end, he did not take action. You yelled at Chen Pingan, is this how you treat half of your own preachers? ! Do you, Chen Pingan, still have any conscience at all?
However, when it comes to preachers, Lu Tai obviously lacks confidence, but when he accuses Chen Ping'an of being heartless, he feels confident.
After that, Lu Tai ignored Chen Pingan.
Time passed slowly, and when the treasure-eating whale arrived at Tongyezhou Fujizong Ferry, it was dawn. Chen Pingan went to the third floor to remind Lu Tai that it was time to disembark.
But the building was already empty.
Chen Ping'an didn't think much about it, he was really a weirdo.
He then landed alone on the land of Tongyezhou from the treasure-eating whale on the bottom of the sea.
Chen Pingan walked onto the ferry and stamped his feet.
It was like walking into Fulu Street from Mu Bottle Alley for the first time, and walking from the yellow mud road to the bluestone road, which was full of freshness.
Chen Pingan feels good without Lu Tai by his side, although he feels a little sorry for that guy.
Just when Chen Pingan was walking very lightly and briskly, he saw a familiar figure next to the bustling shop in the ferry, and Chen Pingan suddenly grinned.
Lu Tai, who had changed into a green shirt and a jade belt with a hairpin, was squatting on the street, chewing on a meat bun. After seeing Chen Pingan, he turned to look at the squatting man. A native dog beside him was looking longingly at the landing platform.
Lu Tai threw a meat bun in his hand to the dog on the roadside.
Lu Tai also raised an eyebrow at Chen Pingan.
After Chen Ping'an walked over, Lu Tai was still chewing on the thin-skinned meat buns with delicious fillings, shaking his head and feeling like he deserved a beating.
Chen Pingan first bent down and touched the dog's head, and then gave Lu Tai a kick.
