Finally left the bottomless land of lotus flowers. After the old Taoist left, the first thing Chen Ping'an did was to ask about the current year of the Northern Jin Dynasty. He was really afraid that the so-called "Yi Jiazi in the Mountain" in the book would not be enough in the world. millennium. Otherwise, the old Taoist has tricked him for ten years and decades, and without the Chang Qi Sword, he probably won’t be able to find anyone who wants to take revenge.
Fortunately, after asking the merchants on the official roads of the Northern Jin Dynasty, I breathed a sigh of relief. From the last six years of Guangxi's reign to the seventh year of Guangxi's reign, it was also autumn in Tongyezhou. , which roughly coincides with the solar term of Lotus Root Flower Paradise, and it looks like it is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Chen Ping'an already had a psychological shadow on the Northern Jin Dynasty. He did not dare to stay any longer and went all the way north. He had heard about the name of Taiping Mountain for a long time and wanted to take a look from a distance. Now he has He has absolutely no such idea, and his relationship with Chunchao Palace Zhou Fei, Bird's Eye Peak Lu Fang and Ranger Feng Qingbai are not good. Chen Ping'an now wants to find a fairy ferry and go straight to Aquarius. continent.
Although when he left his hometown, Old Man Yang reminded him not to return to the town within five years, but if he didn’t return to his hometown, there were still many places to go, such as Fan Er’s old Longcheng, Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia The Qingluan Kingdom where they traveled, the Shushui Kingdom of the old swordsman Song Yushao, Gu Can’s Shujian Lake, and the Sui Academy where Li Baoping and the others studied, there are many places.
In short, Tongye Continent is not suitable. Long stay.
Chen Pingan put away the oil-paper umbrella he had brought casually from the blessed land, and the two of them walked along the official road. The skinny little girl kept looking curiously, "Where is this? Isn't it our Nanyuan Kingdom?" ”
She couldn’t understand a word Chen Pingan asked someone before.
Chen Pingan nodded. The presence of such a small oil bottle was also the reason why Chen Pingan wanted to leave Tongyezhou immediately. Traveling with her is no longer the same as before with Lu Tai, and it will be very troublesome once she encounters Shanze Yexiu who is robbing people's homes. But when he thought of Lutai, Chen Ping'an felt even more gloomy, that man selling candied haws.
Qi practitioners on the mountain, especially those who are among the immortal queens, can often see the mountains and rivers from the palm of a god. Although they are not as omniscient and omnipresent as the old Taoists in the Lotus Flower Land, it is not something that makes people feel relaxed. things. Regarding this magical power, if you return to your hometown in the future, you must ask the old man surnamed Cui or Wei Bo carefully about what the methods and techniques are, and what taboos and restrictions there are.
Pei Qian continued to ask: "Is this your hometown? Where the gods live?"
Chen Ping'an laughed dumbly and shook his head, "It's not my hometown, nor is it a fairyland. "
Pei Qian saw that he didn't want to say more, so he stopped asking further.
She raised her hands and rubbed her eyes.
Chen Pingan asked: "What's wrong?"
Pei Qian raised his head and smiled brightly, "I always feel weird, but I can't remember anything. I just remembered it." I was cleaning the yard at Cao Qinglang's house, and he suddenly came here."
Chen Pingan glanced at her.
Pei Qian immediately changed his words and said, "After cleaning the yard, I sat on the bench and ate melon seeds."
The two of them walked more than 20 miles, and the little girl was so tired that she was out of breath. She wrinkled her face and said she had blisters on the soles of her feet.
Chen Pingan rented a carriage next to a post station, negotiated the price, and headed north. He made an appointment in advance to stop at a border county in the Northern Jin Dynasty, which was about two days away. The Northern Jin Dynasty in Tongyezhou is very different from the Northern Jin Dynasty in Ouhua Blessed Land. There has been no war for a long time. Whether it is post road management or customs clearance documents, they are very loose. As long as there is money in the pocket, even if they are not officials, they can stay in the post. pavilion.
This is Pei Qian’s first time riding a carriage. It feels very fresh. Sitting in the carriage, swaying and swaying, it is very comfortable. From time to time, he lifts the curtain and looks out at the scenery. After autumn, the official road is not crowded. In the distance, you could often see patches of golden persimmon groves, which made her drool. She wished that Chen Pingan would ask the coachman to stop the carriage quickly and let her steal a few pounds.
Chen Pingan took out the four scrolls while she was looking outside. The scroll heads were all different. One was made of beetle-proof rosewood, one was white jade, and the other two were made of unknown materials. People, lifelike.
Wei Xian, the founding emperor of the Nanyuan Kingdom, has an ordinary sitting posture as a hanging portrait of an emperor, wearing a golden dragon robe, but his figure is not burly, but a bit thin, and the loose dragon robe makes it look a bit out of place. .
On the right side of Sui, who failed to ascend, he is holding a sword and looks heroic. The person in the painting seems to be looking at the viewer.
Lu Baixiang, the leader of the demon sect, wears bright red armor and holds a knife in front of him with both hands. He is more like a human monarch than Wei Xian.
Zhu Lian, the martial madman who died at the hands of Ding Ying, had a stooped figure, his hands behind his back and his eyes squinted, like a little old man from the market.
These four scrolls only take Guyu money? The question is, how many Grain Rain coins do the people in the painting have to eat if they want one of them to come out? Furthermore, the term loyalty is open to question. To put it bluntly, Chen Ping'an is a pure martial artist, and even the golden robe, Chixin, and Zingxue are regarded as external possessions by him.
Fortunately, this time he was led by an old Taoist to travel around the world in Ouhua Blessed Land. Chen Ping'an learned more about world affairs and human relations, and invisibly understood the "general trend of the world" in Aquarius Continent, as well as the Lizhu Cave Heaven in the world. Li Ban Tu's situation and status have begun to be looked at in a different light. Regarding the matter of "external objects", his thoughts are no longer so extreme. Otherwise, according to his previous temper, these four paintings may be sold directly by Chen Pingan at sky-high prices. .
Pei Qian stretched his neck to look at the portrait on Sui's right, and whispered: "This sister is so beautiful."
Chen Pingan ignored it and gently put it away. The four scrolls were not put into square objects in front of Pei Qian, but were temporarily placed at his feet. He sighed in his heart that these four ancestors were too difficult to raise. Where is the first and fifteenth day of junior high school? There is a gourd for raising swords, let alone Guyu money. We have been together for so long and fought side by side many times. Not even a single piece of snow money has been spent. There is no need for Chen Ping'an to spend money on sword refining or raising swords. thought.
In fact, Chen Pingan owns a dragon-slaying platform, which is the best grindstone in the world for refining flying swords.How could Chen Pingan be willing to lose the dragon-slaying platform with "Zhenzhen" and "Ning Yao" engraved on it? Fortunately, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, he had never had a bad temper with Chen Pingan about this matter, but he planned to return to Longquan County in the future. Trying to buy a small dragon-slaying platform from Saint Ruan Qiong, one cannot treat them badly.
Chen Pingan will not save this expense, even if it may not be Guyu money, but gold and copper coins.
Chen Pingan looked at her.
Pei Qian also looked at him, worried, fearing that he would kick her out of the carriage. She was not familiar with the place, so she was not allowed to be bullied to death? In the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, she was at least familiar with the roads. Which houses could be stolen, which children's belongings could be snatched, who should not be provoked, and who needed to be pleased. She had a small calculation in her mind. When she got here, she was about to enter. It was winter, and a heavy snow fell. She would freeze to death if she didn't starve to death. She had seen with her own eyes many old beggars and little beggars who had not survived the heavy snow, looking very ugly as they froze to death.
Pei Qian knew that Chen Pingan didn't like him.
Just like she knew that Chen Pingan liked Cao Qinglang very much.
She doesn’t want him to like her, as long as he takes care of her food and drink, it’s best to give her a lot of money. As for whether she likes her or not, how much is it worth?
The coachman is an old man in this industry and is familiar with the road. Chen Pingan and Pei Qian stayed in a post house overnight. The coachman himself
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I stayed in the carriage for one night. Chen Ping'an asked for two low-class rooms. Pei Qian lived next door. Chen Ping'an bought some food from the post house and put it in a package for easy carrying across the body. Some ordinary books, otherwise going out with empty hands would be too eye-catching.
After giving Pei Qian a piece of food, Chen Pingan went to his room, took off his sword, lit the oil lamp on the table, took out a carving knife and a small green bamboo slip, and began to record this event in small characters. Insights from the trip to Ouhua Blessed Land.
There was a knock on the door, and Chen Pingan went to open the door. Pei Qian stood outside the door and timidly said: "It's so dark, I'm a little scared."
Chen Pingan felt a little funny. , I thought that you, who is brave enough to climb on the back of a lion in front of a rich man's house to sleep, would be afraid if you lived in the house?
However, Chen Pingan still let her enter the room. She closed the door obediently. Chen Pingan motioned her to sit across the table and said slowly: "This is called Tongyezhou. It is a big place. We want to Go to Aquarius Continent. My hometown is just north of Aquarius Continent. From tomorrow on, you will start learning the Yayan of Aquarius Continent and the Dali Mandarin of my hometown."
Pei Qian smiled brightly and nodded vigorously: " Okay!”
It’s not that she wants to learn some bullshit mandarin, but the implication of the guy in front of her is that he clearly wants to take her to his hometown. Doesn’t this mean that he will be there along the way? Can you eat and drink together and have enough food and clothing?
But Chen Pingan’s words below were like cold water on the head, making the skinny little girl’s expression gloomy and filled with slander and complaints. Chen Pingan picked up the carving knife and continued to carve the Qingshenshan bamboo slips given by Wei Bo. Engraving on it,Lowering his head and carving meticulously, he said to Pei Qian: "Starting from tomorrow, in addition to teaching you elegant Chinese and Mandarin, I will also teach you literacy. If I think you learn well, you can eat every meal." If you can’t learn well enough, just eat less.”
She said with a grimace, “I’m stupid.”
Chen Ping’an said, “I can save it.” Money."
Pei Qian glanced at Chen Pingan, and she immediately smiled and said, "I will study hard."
At this point, She lay on the table and asked in a low voice: "Can you buy me some clothes?"
Chen Ping'an didn't even raise his head, "When it gets cold, I will add something thicker for you." Clothes."
She muttered: "It's autumn, the weather is already very cold, and look at it, my shoes have holes in them. I'm not going to lie to you, I might get sick accidentally. Now, you still have to take care of me, it’s very troublesome..."
At this point, she raised her feet. The shoes were really worn, and her dark toes were exposed.
Chen Pingan put down the carving knife and gently wiped away the tiny invisible bamboo fragments with his fingers, "Go back to bed, we have to get up early tomorrow and rush on the road."
Pei Qian said no more. What? He got up silently and left the house. After returning to the next door, he closed the door and immediately started to smile. He immediately straightened his face to prevent himself from laughing. He threw himself on the quilt and rolled happily. Finally, he looked at the ceiling and kicked off his feet. After taking off her worn shoes, she remembered Chen Ping'an's appearance and imitated him in saying "go back to sleep" silently. She didn't dare to say it out loud, and then made a face.
Before going to bed, she jumped out of bed and lit the oil lamp on the table, and then she woke up until dawn.
If you don’t light the lamp, it will be useless.
This is what rich people should do.
In the next room, Chen Ping'an wrote a densely packed "Travel Notes on Landscapes of Lotus Root Flower Blessed Land" on three bamboo slips, blew out the lamp, and began to practice six-step walking, in conjunction with the formal swordsmanship. The various gestures of holding the sword on are still empty grips.
The steps are silent, like a fish in water, the fists are fully contained, and the spirit is restrained. Compared to when Chen Ping'an was boxing on the banks of the Longxu River, with his boxing intention flowing throughout his body, it was a huge difference.
Now that Chen Pingan is practicing boxing, he can completely distract himself from other things.
In the Shanshanquan spectrum, after walking and standing, there is actually "Qianqiu", a sleeping pile. Chen Ping'an has long known the principles and stances of the boxing, and now that he has reached the fourth realm, it is not difficult for him. To get started, the key is the essence of the sleeping pile, which lies in the four-character saying "a big dream is like death", which will make a person's soul like stagnant water in an ancient well, and gain thorough cultivation and rejuvenation. However, Chen Ping'an went on long trips twice and once Chen Ping'an didn't dare to sleep too much after walking further than once, so he kept delaying and could only wait until he returned to Longquan.
It was too hasty to leave Lotus Flower Blessed Land this time.
Otherwise, Chen Pingan would definitely try his best to collect the best martial arts in the world. Looking back now, Ding Ying’s martial arts path is actually not wrong, and he truly stands on the top of the mountains., can be called the highest peak of Ouhua Blessed Land's martial arts. If you want to reach this step, in addition to your own insights, you also need to watch the scenery of the lower mountains, support each other, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and finally become your own boxing intention. That is the real The fist is as high as the sky.
How similar is this to reading and reasoning?
It is also similar to the construction of bridges in the Ministry of Industry books.
Unconsciously, the sky outside the window has turned white.
Chen Pingan has been practicing boxing all night now without even sweating. This is probably also a convenience for those who have reached the fifth realm and achieved great spiritual success. However, wearing a golden robe and golden wine, he can't sweat. It doesn't matter.
While Chen Pingan was practicing boxing, the little lotus figure had recovered from his injuries and was dozing off at the table. After leaving the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, the little guy seemed to have something on his mind.
Chen Pingan stopped punching and sat at the table, the little guy drooping his head.
Chen Pingan smiled and rubbed its head without saying anything. Comforting people was really not what Chen Pingan was good at.
He took out four more scrolls, spread them out on the table, and began to think about whether he should "bet" or not.
In the past, Chen Pingan was as afraid of luck as a tiger.
Nowadays, many knots have been resolved. In fact, after the Lizhu Cave Sky shattered and fell to the ground, especially after being plotted by the headmaster Lu Chen, he was implicated with Shen Gaozong He Xiaoliang. Will the trip to the Sui Dynasty be a peaceful one? , had great luck, and later parted ways with He Xiaoliang on the Kun boat, but still had good luck.
Furthermore, Chen Ping'an's net worth is not small now. Not to mention the huge gains from traveling with Lu Tai, only that the Yin God who accompanied Old Longcheng and Zheng Dafeng cost a full ten yuan. Guyu used money to buy a small bamboo slip of Fenyong Bamboo from him, as if to buy the sentence "There are differences between gods and immortals, yin and yang are separated, the soul can calm the mind, and the soul shapes the golden body."
So Chen Ping'an didn't expect to be able to "support" four paintings, and it was quite appropriate to choose one of them, just like a small gamble on happiness.
Chaos has arisen, and Chen Pingan really needs some helpers to help take care of the family business.
Chen Ping'an didn't dare to expect too much from the old man surnamed Cui. One would teach boxing and the other would learn boxing. He couldn't ask for anything more.
After all, Wei Bo is the righteous god of the mountain and has his own responsibilities.
The boy in blue and the girl in pink skirt are still relatively young, and Chen Pingan treats them more like an elder brother to the two children. This is due to their nature and has nothing to do with their age. If something big happens, Chen Pingan will not let them get involved in danger, but will only keep them away from the place of right and wrong.
For the four people in the painting, Chen Pingan does not have so many burdens.
As for how to get along with each other after getting acquainted, we will talk about it when the time comes.
Among the four scrolls, Chen Ping'an didn't know which one to choose first, but he was very sure which one he would not choose first, which was the portrait on the right side of the Sui Dynasty.
What if this happens in the future
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Ning Yao knew that there was a woman walking out of the painting beside him, and spent a lotGuyu money, is this worth it?
So Chen Pingan first included this painting in Feijian Fifteen.
Then he also took away Lu Baixiang, the founder of the Demon Sect. He was a rebellious person at first glance, and he had created the largest underground force in Ouhua Blessed Land. Chen Pingan finally invited him out. Later, what if it was the powerful demon leader Zhou Fei from Spring Chao Palace who ignored ethics and committed treason, should he be imprisoned and returned to the picture scroll?
There is no reason in the world not to treat money as money.
Gu Yu money is not the Xue money, let alone Xue money.
After closing the second picture, only Wei Liang’s ancestors and the seemingly amiable martial madman Zhu Lian were left. The latter was once the owner of the silver lotus crown, which made Chen Ping'an was a little worried. He almost lost his life in the battle with Ding Ying at Guniu Mountain. It was the most dangerous battle in Chen Ping'an's life.
Chen Pingan stared at the two paintings, hesitant.
The little lotus figure sat silently in front of Chen Pingan, looking at the two portraits carefully.
Chen Ping'an couldn't make up his mind and asked with a smile: "Which one do you think is more pleasing to the eye?"
The little lotus figure turned his head, and the little guy with only one arm pointed at the scroll. , and then pointed at himself, as if asking Chen Pingan if he really wanted him to choose?
Chen Pingan narrowed his eyes with a smile and nodded.
The little guy Ma Liuer stood up and ran around along the edge of the two scrolls with his eyes wide open. He would also lie on the table and look at the two people in the painting. He was very serious and cute.
Chen Pingan was happy to see him.
The little guy finally squatted on the ground and pointed at the portrait of Wei Xian next to him.
Chen Pingan laughed and said: "That's him."
After the little guy got up, he quickly ran to the edge of the table and tugged on Chen Pingan's sleeve. He was a little worried. I am afraid that I have made the wrong choice.
"It's okay, you have to choose anyway. It doesn't matter if you choose the wrong one." Chen Pingan stretched out his finger and scratched its squeaky nest, and the little guy giggled.
Chen Pingan took out a Guyu coin, twisted it between his fingers, and placed it gently on the portrait of the founding emperor of the Nanyuan Kingdom. When the Guyu coin touched the scroll, it immediately melted like ice and snow, and the surface of the scroll Soon it was covered with a layer of Guyu Qian's aura, and it became misty, like water vapor on a lake, and then suddenly rippled and spread out. When Chen Ping'an looked at the portrait of Wei Xian again, he felt a little more "angry", especially the continuous Golden light flashed on the luxurious dragon robe with broken warp and weft.
It’s a pity that there are no more clues. How many Grain Rain coins are needed is still a mystery.
Chen Pingan made up his mind and threw ten Guyu coins into it. If there was still no clear sign, it would be considered a waste.
Putting away the scroll carefully, Chen Ping'an hung the Chi Xin Zhi Xue around his waist, took the cotton parcel, went out to call Pei Qian next door, and continued on his way.
After knocking on the door for a long time, the little girl hesitated and opened the door sleepily. After seeing Chen Pingan, she was a little reluctant.
After she was dressed, Chen Pingan saw her walking toward him and pointed to the bed.
Pei Qian looked confused.
Chen Pingan said: "Pack up before leaving."
Pei Qian said aggrievedly: "We paid to stay in the post house, you spent a lot of money. ”
Chen Pingan was silent.
Pei Qian had no choice but to turn around and pack the bedding.
Chen Pingan glanced at the oil lamp on the table and frowned.
After that, we took a carriage all the way north. The driver was familiar with the route. It was probably just the right time, allowing the two guests to stay at the inn and some town inns, without the opportunity to sleep in the open air.
Chen Pingan began to teach her elegant Mandarin, as well as some general customs of Dongbaopingzhou and Dali Dynasty. Then he took out a Confucian classic purchased from Zhuangyuan Lane Book Store and taught her how to read. , she happened to be studying and learning Chinese characters at the same time, speaking in elegant Mandarin, killing three birds with one stone, but Pei Qian didn't pay much attention to learning, but she already knew more than a hundred Chinese characters, but at first glance, she didn't like reading, she She obviously prefers sleeping in the carriage, even if she doesn't do anything. Chen Pingan ignores her and just lets her sleep. She can sleep for most of the day. When she wakes up, she opens the car curtain to enjoy the scenery, and then goes to sleep after watching. , it’s also considered a skill.
It rained a lot along the way.
Slowly and slowly, the carriage finally arrived at the border county of the Northern Jin Dynasty. Chen Pingan paid the other half of the silver and started walking with Pei Qian.
Because the weather was getting colder and it rained frequently, Chen Pingan still bought her a set of thick clothes and new boots, but he didn't give them to her immediately, so she looked eagerly at Chen Pingan's cross-body package every day. , and even asked her to carry it for the first time.
The access control of ordinary cities in the Northern Jin Dynasty was not strict. As long as the coachman took care of the relationship, Pei Qian, who did not have household registration and customs clearance documents, could enter the city smoothly. However, the border customs were different, so Chen Pingan began to bring Pei Qian with him. She traveled across mountains and rivers, Pei Qian and the hard-working Li Baoping, one day at a time. Even though Chen Pingan took good care of her legs, she still complained endlessly and squeezed out tears again and again. It seemed that no matter how good-tempered Chen Pingan was, he was not annoyed. Also annoyed.
However, after being given new clothes and new boots, Pei Qian recovered for a few days. Then her clothes, because she never knew how to cherish them, were quickly tattered by the hooks and thorns on the mountain paths. She relapsed into her old ways, and after Chen Pingan promised to buy her another one when they arrived in the next town, she regained her energy. However, the border of Northern Jin State was long and the mountain road was difficult to travel, so Pei Qian was always dark. Face, every time Chen Pingan asked her to practice writing on the ground with a branch, she would deliberately write until earthworms crawled. She was asked to write a hundred words, but she would never write one more word.
During this period, Chen Pingan "fed" three more Grain Rain coins.
Because now Chen Pingan is practicing boxing while walking, and almost every breath and breath is to temper his body, so it seems that Chen Pingan puts all his energy on the sword furnace.
Only when Chen Pingan was practicing the sword furnace, Pei Qian was energetic and did not dare to approach Chen Pingan, just stood in the distance, silently watching him standing there, as motionless as a piece of wood. Over time, Pei Qian also felt boring.
That night, Chen Pingan took her to sleep in a wilderness. Last time in the border county, in addition to the small cowhide tent specially prepared for Pei Qian, Chen Pingan also bought fish hooks and fishing lines. , I found thin bamboo on the mountain and made a fishing rod, and then started fishing by the stream at night.
At midnight, Chen Pingan turned his head and saw a red light flashing in the mountains and forests in the distance.
A strange scene soon occurred.
There is an eight-carriage sedan with red lanterns hanging at the four corners. The people carrying the sedan seem to be spirits who grew up in the mountains. The characters who play the gongs and drums are a group of ghosts and ghosts. The leader is a A skeleton with a rusty sword on its waist.
Next to the sedan, there was a gorgeously dressed old woman, wearing festive bright red clothes, with heavy makeup and blush, and her face was pale, but there were black smoke lingering around her.
Chen Pingan is now familiar with things on the mountain and knows that this is probably the so-called marriage of the mountain god.
He didn’t want to create any complications, so he pretended not to see anything.
I just didn't expect Pei Qian to wake up at this time. After getting out of the cowhide tent, he rubbed his eyes and stared blankly at the wedding team.
