The first watch is for people, the second watch is for fire, the third watch is for ghosts to roam, the fourth watch is for thieves, and the fifth watch is for roosters to crow all over the world.
At midnight tonight, the river is filled with gloomy air.
At the post house, there may be some Yao family cavalry sitting there, fighting in a chilling manner, which invisibly blocks the permeating aura.
Yao Jinzhi is practicing money lessons in the house, commonly known as Fire Pearl Forest, which is one of the secret methods on the mountain. It is said to be a secret method, but it is not really a true master. Yao Jinzhi got it accidentally in the library when he was young. In these years, he only regarded it as a pastime. He threw three copper coins on the ground to ask for divination, or six coins to ask for lessons. He put the six copper coins in a bamboo tube and threw them out. Look at the pros and cons of copper coins, ask about the future, and judge the good or bad. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work. In fact, Yao Jinzhi himself doesn't really believe this.
Today she asked herself about the future of her trip to Beijing with three coins, which was good luck.
The six-money question method was also used to test the Daquan Liu family’s Guo Zuo.
After putting away the copper coins one by one, Yao Jinzhi was full of doubts and couldn't figure it out. He could only laugh at himself and said that it was wrong to not ask the people or ghosts and gods. She no longer worried about the two results, got up and went to the window, where she saw Yao Lingzhi practicing his sword. A little further away, there was a house with lights on. No need to guess, it was known that Yao Xianzhi was reading military books at night.
She sat back at the table, thinking that she could often play chess with Mr. Lu in the future, give a few exquisite small items to the little girl named Pei Qian, and also find an opportunity. Give the young Mr. Liu something appropriate to offer, because as a woman, she could see the words hidden deep in Shao Yuanran's eyes, but she clearly saw through them, but pretended not to understand. During this trip to the north, she had only spoken two or three words to the young Taoist priest, and once deliberately looked at his back. As for the young priest, it was funny to say that he thought he could hide everything by looking indifferent in front of her. She was certain that her "unintentional" gaze was enough to cause ripples in the heart of an aspiring Taoist.
Yao Jinzhi has always believed that this is more important than a thousand words. What's more, people's words themselves are never many. Whether they fall into the ears is one thing, and whether they fall on other people's minds is another. Women with good looks and men with power are inherently advantageous.
When Yao Jinzhi thought of this, he felt a little depressed. Why can someone truly be at peace with themselves?
————
From late at night until dawn, Zhu He stayed by the Mi River, lingering.
Weird things happened one after another last night. First, the little girl Pei Qian made lies, saying that she saw a golden bridge on the river. Then Chen Pingan stopped the sword furnace and set up stakes, saying that he and Pei Qian should go back to the inn first. Chen Pingan He jumped into the buried river, and Pei Qian jumped in without saying a word. Then a whirlpool appeared inexplicably in the buried river. The surface of the river was full of spiritual energy, which made Zhu He feel a little uncomfortable. The whirlpool wrapped Chen Pingan and Pei Qian in it, and suddenly Appeared and disappeared suddenly, leaving only the vague figure of a short woman in Zhu He.
I heard that Tongyezhou is just one of the nine continents in this vast world.one.
The heaven and earth are vast and vast.
How great are those who practice Taoism?
Earlier, Zhu He was in a depressed mood. He was like a wealthy county tycoon who suddenly entered the capital and found that he couldn't afford anything with the little money in his pocket. After all, he was still a little disappointed. With this little thought, Zhu He cleaned up very quickly and cleanly, but instead he was full of pride and fighting spirit. Even though Zhu He was smiling all day long and following Chen Pingan, he was so brave and diligent in his martial arts cultivation these days. There was no delay.
The other three are no less impressive than Zhu Lian. Wei Xian is carefully examining the world, seeing the heaven and earth in every detail. Sui Youyou was practicing swordsmanship in seclusion in the carriage, and Lu Baixiang was a genius, good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
This is the most intangible advantage of Zhu Lian, Lu Baixiang and others.
Without exception, they were all once invincible in the world. As pure warriors, their mentality was almost flawless, and they were most worthy of the word "pure".
There is a secret rivalry between the four of them.
The seven realm bottlenecks will depend on who breaks them first.
As long as they reach the Warrior Golden Body Realm, the Eighth Wind Control Realm and the Ninth Mountain Top Realm, there is no big threshold for them, it is just the length of time.
Zhu He looked up at the sky and began to return along the original path. He weighed a pebble in his hand and rubbed it gently. The debris kept being blown away by the breeze by the river.
Except for the bottleneck in martial arts, all four of them are naturally dissatisfied with their own shackles. Don’t forget that Wei Xian is the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, Lu Baixiang is the founder of the Demon Sect, and Sui Youyou is the founder of the Demon Cult. She is a female sword fairy who wants to break even the rules of the blessed land with one sword. To say that the four of them were sincerely convinced by the young man holding the four scrolls and were willing to act like cows and horses, let alone Chen Pingan, I am afraid that the child named Pei Qian would not believe it.
It was just a battle at the inn, but the four of them were deeply impressed by Chen Ping'an.
Zhu He clenched the stone in his hand and murmured to himself: "Looking at Chen Ping'an's natural attitude now, Lu Baixiang should be the first to reveal the truth, so why are the two so close and relaxed? ”
After Zhong Kui finished drawing the stunning sword-suppressing talisman, he and his husband left Mihe one after another. The landscape of Biyou Mansion gradually stabilized, and the young maidservant Return to the hall with Pei Qian.
Pei Qian was at the screen wall before, and just threw the buried river spirit back to the screen wall. Then he saw the scene of incense smoke and tumbling river water above, as if the river water was about to gush out of the stone wall in the next moment. When the water flooded the mansion, Pei Qian was shocked and shouted to go back to Chen Ping'an. The water ghost maid who died unjustly and was buried in the river in the early years was driven out of the mansion by the Water Goddess' magical power, leaving Pei Qian standing alone. On the other side of the screen wall, I cried so hard that my voice became hoarse.
Returning to the hall now, Pei Qian's face was still stained with tears. She stood timidly at the threshold and did not dare to enter. She still had some sharp eyesight and knew that Chen Ping'an was talking to someone about business. , if she gets into trouble again this time and offends Chen Pingan, go toThe first time Zhong Kui helped intercede, but this time no one spoke up for her.
Chen Pingan turned around and asked: "What's wrong?"
Pei Qian ran into the hall and sat on the chair next to Chen Pingan. He sat upright, feeling a little aggrieved and guilty. , said: "I just returned the cup of water to the screen wall. I don't know why, but it shook the mountain on the spot. Chen Pingan, I really didn't mean to do it. Don't be angry."
Chen Pingan He slapped Pei Qian on the forehead with a flick of his finger and said with a smile: "You still know how to be afraid?"
Pei Qian looked at it and was convinced that the scary vision probably had nothing to do with her, and he felt confident. His waist immediately hardened, the aroma on the wine table was fragrant, and he was really greedy. Besides, he had seen a lot of ghosts and monsters. Pei Qian used to listen to the storyteller under the overpass in Ouhua Paradise. He told stories about monsters and monsters. What did he always tell? A glass of wine and a peach in the Underwater Dragon Palace and the Immortal Mansion can increase life span after eating, so he tentatively asked: "Can I have a sip of wine?"
Chen Pingan glared, Pei Qian immediately pretended to be enlightened and said, "I'm still young. What kind of wine should I drink? Chen Pingan, you should drink more." He was so amused that he said, "There is still a lot of century-old water flower wine in the house. I will give you a jar later. As for whether Chen Ping'an takes it away to drink for himself or leaves some for you, I have no control over it."< /p>
Pei Qian stayed with Chen Pingan, but he was not afraid of anything. He said in an old-fashioned way: "If you really want to give me wine, I would like to thank you, but I am still young and can't drink. Otherwise, it will delay my study and literacy. Next time we come to your home as a guest, when it is time to drink, you must not be stingy, otherwise you will be sorry for your status as a goddess."
Water Goddess. He was amazed and looked at Pei Qian's features carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he was moved. He half-truthfully said to Chen Pingan: "What a spirited little girl. Otherwise, let her stay in Biyou Mansion. I will help you take care of her in the future." She will take over the position of the Goddess of River Burial in Biyou Mansion
(This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page)
. I promise to give her all my money and give it to her again. After refining two magic weapons for up to two hundred years, she can become the most powerful water god in the Daquan Dynasty."
Pei Qian stood up in a panic and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I still want it. I'm going to Longquan County in Aquarius Continent to help put up Spring Festival couplets on my old house!"
Chen Ping'an politely declined the Water Goddess's proposal.
I really don’t feel at ease if I don’t take her with me.
The Water Goddess didn’t force her, but those words she just said were really not a joke.
If Pei Qian, whose qualifications she fell in love with at first glance, really stayed in Biyou Mansion, she would really do her best to let the little girl inherit the position of Burial River God, and she would also help her to cast and refine two pieces. Even if a weapon with the appearance of a magic weapon goes against one's character and is in conflict with the Daquan Dynasty and Dafu Academy, it will still win a palace title for Biyou Mansion. Then she could let go and kill the big demon that had been causing trouble in the river for two hundred years., even if both jade and stone are destroyed, it is a meritorious deed that has benefited 900,000 people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and it is worthy of the sage's principles read from the book of the literary sage.
As for her, the Water Goddess, she has a good eye for Pei Qian and is more knowledgeable.
As a long-standing deity who has been in charge of the land and water, the Buried River Water God himself has great blessings. Otherwise, he would not have been able to understand a path as a monk in the upper five realms from a rain-praying stone tablet that no one cares about. Ben's magical formula, she had just carefully used the spirit-seeking method of the gods. She didn't know it, but when she saw it, she was shocked. She was already considered to be the best person in the world who was lucky enough to have a golden figure. The dark and thin little girl in front of her The girl turned out to be even more outstanding than she was. She was a first-class god. In layman's terms, it would be a waste of natural resources and a sacred place to be a god of mountains and rivers enjoying incense.
The so-called golden shape is somewhat similar to the innate sword embryo of a sword cultivator. A Buddhist disciple of the Buddhist school is blessed by nature and can practice on a certain correct path and make great progress with each passing day. People with a golden shape are often born with a thin body but extremely hard bones. In the world of physiognomy, there is a method of weighing a person's bones, which focuses on how many pounds a person's bones weigh. The golden shape is the heaviest one in the world. Temperament Strong, easy to be impatient, decisive in killing, especially among the five elements, the gold master has a majestic nature, so he is born to be an official.
It’s just that the water goddess’s eyesight is very good, but it’s still not good enough.
Pei Qian's outstanding qualifications have already exceeded the scope of the Five Elements. Therefore, when Zhu He looked at Pei Qian, he also felt that the little girl was a martial arts genius. Even Yao Jinzhi, who had purchased copper coins before, thought about it and thought that the little girl might be a talent in arithmetic. As long as he studied divination with her, he could get twice the result with half the effort.
Only the gentleman Zhong Kui sees it more comprehensively and profoundly.
It's a pity that Pei Qian met Chen Pingan, and he didn't tell her the truth. As for practicing martial arts or cultivating Taoism, Pei Qian couldn't even think about it.
This girl is now traveling through mountains and rivers with Chen Pingan. As long as she can have a talisman worth a big house on her forehead, she will be happy and not feel tired when walking.
This is probably one thing reducing another thing.
Whether Pei Qian practices martial arts with Zhu Lian or stays in Biyou Mansion to serve as the Burial River Water Goddess, no matter how high her achievements are, there is no need to expect that she will be grateful to Zhuhe and the Water Goddess. There was a conflict in the sky, and Pei Qian slapped her to death. Afterwards, she took it for granted. You annoyed me, and I am more capable than you. If I don't kill you, will you still stay around and be an eyesore?
But when it comes to Chen Ping'an, Pei Qian's thoughts are completely different and unique.
But the two of them were just in this mountain, and they didn’t know it.
The Water Goddess waved her hand, and the maid quietly retreated.
The Water Goddess then asked: "Chen Ping'an, I am a cheerful person, and you are even more so. Otherwise, Zhong Kui would not have such a friendly relationship with you, then I would have to speak out?"
p>Chen Pingan nodded, "Water Goddess, just tell the truth."
The Water Goddess looked solemn, as if she was thinking about something to discuss, and she had something important to discuss.
For some reason, Chen Ping'an thought that Zhong Kui had already helped finalize the matter of the palace's promotion, so there shouldn't be any difficulties in Biyou Mansion. But since she was so serious, Chen Ping'an just waited patiently.
She asked slowly: "Chen Ping'an, you have met Master Literary Saint, so Master Literary Master is someone who makes people look up to him. He speaks well and every word makes people admire him. After listening to those profound and simple truths, you will feel that we, the younger generation, just kowtow?"
The Water Goddess across the table was in high spirits.
It was a good thing that Chen Ping'an didn't drink, otherwise he would have spit out a mouthful of wine on the spot.
Pei Qian didn’t know who the Master Shuishen was talking about, but it sounded like Chen Ping’an knew that powerful old man, so she felt honored and crossed her arms across her chest. It's pride.
Chen Ping'an drank the century-old "water flower wine" of Biyou Mansion in the sword gourd. He hesitated for a moment and could not bear to ruin the image of the great Chinese sage and scholar in the eyes of the Water Goddess. He chose and said: "Old He is naturally very knowledgeable and has a great temper. He is kind to others and never puts on airs. He is very... approachable when he is away from home."
How can he not be approachable? He is small and travels all over the world. He is like that. The appearance of a poor old scholar, approachable and unspectacular would be more suitable, worse than Zhong Kui in the inn. He likes to kidnap people to drink, he likes to pretend to be drunk when drinking, and his wine quality is not very good.
But Chen Ping'an couldn't bear to tell these truths to the Water Goddess.
I am afraid that if she is not careful, she will be heartbroken.
The Water Goddess simply didn’t need to drink from a big white bowl this time. She directly picked up the jar of wine, raised her head and took a big sip, "Master Literary Saint is really as I thought... God be my God! He is knowledgeable, but he is compassionate, walks in the world, and treats people kindly. At that time, Master Literary Saint was only ranked fourth in the Confucian Temple in the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth, and was not allowed to be worshiped next to the most holy master. How can it be unreasonable!" /p>
The Water Goddess kept chattering, constantly fighting for the injustice of the literary sage whom she admired so much.
Chen Pingan didn’t say anything, but he thought of many real scholars and people who yearned to be scholars. Mr. Qi’s husband, Mr. Qi, the lotus root blessed land is very much like Mr. Qi’s autumn planting. He, Chen Pingan, And Cao Qinglang, a child who looks very much like himself.
All the reasonable and unreasonable things in the world will eventually end up in one place, and the place where I feel at ease is my hometown.
Chen Ping'an didn't speak, he just drank. After such a delicious wine, he thought of those beautiful people and things, the words of the literary sage and the old scholar, Mr. Qi's not being disappointed, and Zhong Qiu's inquiry. As expected, Cao Qinglang holds hope. He, Chen Ping'an, would definitely not become a bad drunkard today. Maybe he could become a drunkard like A Liang said.
One was talking to himself, the other was daydreaming to himself, both were drinking and no one needed to persuade them.
The so-called cellar for the water flower wine in Biyou Mansion is actually hidden in the buried river water essence.Among them, after being aged for hundreds of years, it is naturally aged and mellow, easy to drink, and has great staying power.
The Water Goddess was really drunk. She sat cross-legged on a chair with her head shaking. She said that she was envious of Chen Pingan. She had met the literary saint and was so familiar with the saint. In Dzogchen, she is not so lucky. She sits on the altar every day. It seems that the incense fills the water temple, which is more prosperous than the Mirage City. However, there are so many selfish desires mixed in the incense. She has many She didn't like it. She wanted wealth, wealth, and power, and she wanted to ask Master Literary Saint face to face. The saints had said so many things, and the Confucian Temple had already erected so many statues of gods. Those who had read the books of sages There are so many scholars, why is the world still so miserable? It always makes people more and more disappointed, making her like the world less and less.
Is it too high for the world to touch? Finally she
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
She scratched her head with both hands, feeling confused.
Pei Qian rolled his eyes. Come on, I'd better stop drinking in the future. If a woman drinks alcohol, she will act crazy like this empress. It's really ridiculous.
The best thing about Chen Pingan’s drinking is that before the moment he collapses from drunkenness, the more he drinks, the brighter his eyes become. The old age of youth was suppressed by the alcohol.
But this does not mean that Chen Pingan really gets more and more sober as he drinks, but when he is drunk, he will not be able to suppress his true nature. Before drinking, he should be cautious, like always covering the surface of a bronze mirror with both hands. , or holding a light in a shabby room with both hands, not wanting outsiders to see it, and then after drinking, let go of the hands and let out a bright light, so what if it shines in all directions?
Chen Pingan placed the sword-raising gourd heavily on the wine table and said loudly: "Why is Mr. Wen Sheng's knowledge so high that it doesn't work? It works very well. I'm going to tell you something." He said that this theory is applicable to all places. Good people can learn it, evil people can learn it, emperors and generals can learn it, traffickers and soldiers can learn it, gods on mountains can learn it, demons and ghosts can learn it, and gods of mountains and rivers can learn it! Whether you are willing to apply what you have learned is a matter after learning. It is beneficial to learn this knowledge first."
Chen Ping'an subconsciously sat upright, learning from the gentleman Zhong Kui, and even learning from the school teacher! Mr. Qi, who is a professional, "If you learn the true knowledge of the world, you can have the source of living water in your heart! I think this knowledge of the old man, expounding the two words of the order, is a great knowledge, true knowledge, everyone can learn it! Can you learn it?" "Learn?"
The Water Goddess's eyes were dazed, and she slapped the table and said, "I will learn if you tell me!"
Chen Ping'an leaned forward slightly and pointed his finger. Write the word order on the table, "The purpose of this knowledge is this word order! It is unique. In addition to the order of etiquette and rules, there is another great river that can benefit the people! I, Chen Pingan,I don’t know much, I don’t know much, I just say what I know, what I know, and what I say is correct! Now, I will use what the old gentleman said to me that night to tell you the introductory meaning of this sequence! < /p>
The first article, in order, everything in the world has a context, the ins and outs, don't skip any link, just choose what you want to make sense, otherwise everything in the world will never be able to tell what is right or wrong, otherwise It’s just a position without right or wrong, as if everyone in the world is pitiful and hateful? How can we really be reasonable? After all, we can only speak with our fists when the truth doesn’t make sense. < /p>
The second chapter is about judging the big and small. There are big and small differences between right and wrong, so we need to borrow the two rulers of the legalists' good methods and the magicians' calculations.
The third chapter is about determining good and evil. Taking etiquette and rules as the fundamental criterion, combined with the local customs and people's morality, we can determine people's right and wrong, merits and demerits, and ask ourselves what is good and evil.
The fourth chapter. , the unity of knowledge and action! If you make a mistake, correct it, and if you don’t make it, correct it.
Only these four articles were laid out in detail, and Chen Pingan talked about it for an hour.
"This sequential knowledge is the best knowledge, but how difficult it is to start practicing it and conforming to the purpose of knowledge in every aspect! ”
“I didn’t know why Mr. Wen Sheng wanted to persuade me to drink. I don’t know why he chopped off the statue of the Rain Master with one sword. It didn’t make sense, and then flattened the Jiaolong ditch with another sword. I don’t know why Zhong Kui, as a gentleman, doesn’t look like an academy gentleman. Why does the old monk of Xinxiang Temple say that the world is indebted to good people? Why did the old Taoist take me to see the Lotus Root Blessed Land? It always seems that good people rarely get good rewards, and evil people rarely get bad rewards. ”
Speaking of many things, Chen Ping’an wanted to integrate knowledge and work into words and deeds, but he often began to deny himself as he spoke, telling the person across the table who was listening attentively. Chen Ping'an, the Water Goddess, still feels that the truth he has figured out is still too small, especially when it comes to complex good and evil, and the subtleties of human nature, beyond the big and small.
< p>Chen Ping'an sat there, talking to himself most of the time.It was more than an hour, and the time passed slowly like the river outside Biyou Mansion.
Water God. The empress had already stood up, standing respectfully, with her body slightly bent, like a student listening to the master's teachings, engraved in his heart, not daring to miss a word.
Pei Qian seemed to have listened, but also seemed to be absent-minded, lying on the table. On the table, she put her cheek against the table and looked at Chen Ping'an, who had said so many truths to others in one breath.
In her memory, apart from the battle with Cao Qinglang, what kind of autumn country was there outside the alley. The masters, the big devil Ding Ying, and Chen Ping'an all beat him at will, beating him to death without saying much.
Leaving the Ouhua Paradise, they were at the Jinhuang Mansion on the border of the Northern Jin Dynasty.Near the residence, the big green buffalo was killed with one sword. On the second floor of the inn, he asked himself, and killed the arrogant and domineering young prince with three punches.
Chen Pingan said that he didn’t understand many things before.
Actually, the little girl Pei Qian doesn’t understand either, let alone.
Why is it that in all the world, Chen Pingan, who is reasonable and kind to everyone, but Chen Pingan, who is so unkind to her and has the worst temper towards her, she still feels comfortable staying by his side, even if Even though I was scolded and beaten, I felt... no grievance at all. She feels at ease that the guy next to her will do whatever he wants her to do, and she doesn't have to think about anything. Of course, she will still feel very irritated and troublesome, but these emotions are much worse than when she was alone in Nanyuan Country. The capital city is like a small lonely ghost, wandering around year after year. I always feel that it would be much better to freeze to death or starve to death one day.
Probably because of what happened tonight, when Chen Pingan talked about the knowledge he most recognized, he would still say that what he said was not necessarily the most reasonable or the most correct thing to do.
Chen Pingan will see all kinds of good things in the world.
Pei Qian only wants to see all kinds of evil in the world.
In Biyou Mansion, the three gold characters on the plaque are dazzling and golden light overflows.
Everyone in the mansion was shocked and surprised to find that the entire mansion was filled with light golden light flowing like water.
The water of the Buried River outside Biyou Mansion is sparkling, especially bright under the moonlight.
Many unjust water ghosts with lingering anger swam involuntarily from the gloomy bottom of the river to the surface, and then bathed in the moonlight and dissipated one after another, as if they had been liberated.
In the Water God Temple by the river, the faithful men and women who were waiting for the door to open at dawn to burn incense started making a loud noise. It turned out that the faint golden statue of the Water Goddess suddenly appeared in the temple. Rising from the ground, reaching a height of more than ten feet, overlooking the world, the clay sculpture and golden body, with the word "Golden Body", became more and more worthy of its name. In addition to its majesty, it was also majestic.
Buried deep in the river, the big demon is just a hair away from the golden elixir realm. It is hidden in a lair at the bottom of the river. It should be the most comfortable and comfortable, but at this moment, it feels like being in a frying pan. , suffering so much, it had no choice but to rush out of the nest. It roared loudly, set off huge waves, and fled upstream crazily along the current of the Buried River. Every time it wants to go ashore to commit murder, the riverbeds on both sides are like cages, causing it to hit the wall everywhere, forcing it to crash in the deepest part of the river, never able to harm the people in the cities and towns on both sides.
The sky is slightly bright.
In the hall of Biyou Mansion, the sleeves of the Water Goddess were fluttering, and the golden light was flowing all over her body. Especially between her heart and mind, there was a golden pill spinning, which reflected the golden light of the entire hall far better than the candlelight.
There is a saying in the book: if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
She never thought that she would still have such great blessings, hearing about the great road at night and getting golden pills in the morning!
The Water Goddess bowed to the end and was grateful to the young man in front of her. Her face was filled with tears and she cried with joy: "SinceThe young master is the direct disciple of Lord Literary Saint, why did you lie to me? ”
