(10,000-word chapter)
A short woman wearing imperial robes appeared out of thin air on the bank of the Buried River, walking slowly.
With the rapid rise in realm cultivation, the Goddess of Burial River Water has become more and more skilled in controlling the water transportation on both sides of the bank. It is like a military general opening up territory and expanding the territory. Wherever the horse's hooves go, it is the territory.
The Buried River is originally a large river that almost crosses most of the Daquan Dynasty from east to west. Previously, she could barely maintain the power of the Buried River with the help of a refined weapon. However, she faced a troublesome river monster that had not yet reached the Golden Core realm. It is already quite strenuous. If Biyou Mansion is promoted to Biyou Palace rashly, and the Daquan court is unwilling to spend part of the national fortune and let the Qin Tianjian monks bring it and put it into the Water Temple,
This This is also one of the reasons why the Water Goddess is unwilling to agree. Once the plaque on the palace is replaced by Biyou Palace, everyone will be jealous and coveted from all directions. Maybe the two plaques on the palace will be used as firewood one day.
She is naturally bold and has a bad temper. This is true. She may be able to stay buried in the river for hundreds of years. She has firmly grasped every opportunity in her hands. Naturally, she is definitely not an idiot.
She squatted down and picked up a handful of water from the buried river. Under the moonlight, the river water rippled slightly in the palm of her hand. Compared with before, she was much more energetic.
Before coming to the post house, many incense essences that the water temple could not bear first flowed backwards and flowed into the temple. The original silver-white incense essence turned into a light golden color, with a faint trace. Threads floated towards the golden clay sculpture in the main hall. The golden body was not the gilding craftsmanship of some statue craftsmen, but the foundation of the divine way of a landscape god. It was a manifestation of the great avenue. Those pale golden figures The rich incense slowly suffuses the golden statue on the altar. In Shinto, it is known as "gold painting". Only two situations can such a phenomenon occur. One is the Qintian Supervisor monk with the emperor's will. , acting on orders, using an imperial brush dipped in gold to depict a certain god's golden body, most of which are just "several enlightenments". There is also a Confucian sage who "points the country" to the golden body, and these Confucian sages , must be at least the Master of the Seventy-Two Academy Mountains.
In addition to the great blessing that the Buried River Water Temple inexplicably received, Biyou Mansion is also experiencing rising water transports and auspicious clouds gathering like a canopy.
It can almost be regarded as a paradise for spiritual practice.
This move is considered a closure!
Truly recognized by the orthodoxy of Haoran Heaven and Earth!
No matter how arrogant the River Goddess is, she still knows that this great favor that caught her off guard is no less than the first time Mr. Chen taught him a lesson and solved his doubts.
In the post house, she joked that she had pledged herself to him. The reason for this was that she really didn’t know how to repay him.
The jade slip itself is actually what she calls the treasure of Biyou Mansion.
In ancient times, the Mihe River was once the main trunk of one of the three rivers that entered the sea in Tongyezhou. Since then, the sea has changed, the river has changed its course, accumulated siltation, blocked and other changes, and the rules of that river have become more and more complicated. It was so small that only a section remained, which was the buried river. The predecessor of Biyou Mansion was the ruins of the "Hedu Dragon Palace".And that jade slip was the treasure she found from the ruined Dragon Palace. It has not changed its color for thousands of years. It is the essence of the river water, and it is also a concrete representation of the water transportation of heaven and earth. It was then refined into a jade slip by the old Dragon King. Presumably, the Dragon Palace In the distant years, this jade slip is also a treasure that the Dragon King can't put down.
She wanted Chen Ping'an to write down the Taoist secrets of the Xian family and destroy the jade slips immediately. In fact, she was just teasing.
Only Chen Pingan can destroy the jade slips unless he is a god in the fifth realm.
However, after refining it into a natal object, now that she has the secret to "reach immortality in one step", she believes that as long as Chen Ping'an works hard, he has a lot of hope.
She stepped into the buried river in one step and walked on the water, like a goddess in a fantasy novel.
The only flaw is that the river demon must have colluded with a nearby mountain god, landed ashore and hid in the mountains somewhere, and disappeared without a trace.
The Water Goddess fell backwards and just lay on the surface of the river, drifting downstream with the current.
The water ghosts who drowned in the river followed the Water Goddess at the bottom of the river and floated towards the Water God Temple.
She suddenly covered her face, looking shameless and naive, "Those embarrassing words are not for a young girl to say."
Fortunately, it was over soon. Regaining her fighting spirit, she sat up and said happily: "Hurry up and ask craftsmen to go to Mirage City to reshape the statue of the god! People rely on clothes and gods rely on gold makeup! The curves on the chest of the statue can be exaggerated, and the legs can also be used. "Longer!"
Some water ghosts wandering at the bottom of the river who have opened their minds are really enlightened. There is such an interesting water goddess in the world.
————
The Yao family’s team encountered many ridiculous things on their way north.
A well-known hero came here with an exquisite eight-treasure gun made of fine iron, saying that he wanted to learn about the Yao family's gun, which was so powerful at the border.
This man called for his friends, and dozens of horses roared over. They all stopped on the official road. He sat high on the horse and flashed a fancy gun. It cannot be said that it is the Three-legged Cat Kung Fu. As a second- and third-rate martial artist, he still has some kung fu that has been honed for more than ten years. However, the fighting skills of people in this kind of martial arts are certainly not on the same level as those of the Yao family's iron spear. The latter can instantly Can be divided into life and death.
Yao Zhen was sitting in the carriage and reading military books. He just thought it was funny. He had no experience with these heroes who were crazy about fame. Yao Jin gave an order, and the Yao family cavalrymen silently took off their light weapons. The crossbow scared the group of people and immediately ran out of the official road. When the Yao family's team had gone away, they chattered endlessly, complaining that the Yao family's cavalry was like an embroidered pillow, with a false reputation, and they didn't even have the confidence to compare their marksmanship with the results.
As a result, this group of people were arrested and brought to justice by the state and city officials that day, and the brothers and sisters in prison had a solid meal in prison.
Later, there was a wild cultivator from the Lower Five Realms, who was not very old, in his early twenties, and tried to become a military servant of the Yao family, but he did not dare to make any mistakes. He explained his general life background and appropriateness. Praise yourselfHe was squatting outside the inn where he was staying, gnawing on dry biscuits and drinking bad wine, waiting for his magic. Yao Zhen asked someone to give him a hundred taels of silver. Ye Xiu blushed and accepted the money before leaving.
As we get closer and closer to Mirage City, the news that Yao Zhen is about to take up the post of Minister of War spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the government and the public.
Another frustrated military monk, who was in his prime and tall, blocked the way and threatened to leave immediately if anyone from the Yao family defeated him. Then Shao Yuanran showed his hand and he got out.
What really aroused the curiosity of the Yao family team was the two strange events of the mountain god wading into the water and the water god going up the mountain.
It’s just that these two mountain and water gods are far inferior to the rank of the Buried River God. They are the lowest-ranking local gods. The mountain god governs a land with a radius of one hundred miles, while the water god is responsible for a two hundred miles. The He Bo of the river, the two sides are adjacent to each other, so the relationship is not harmonious, and there are frictions from time to time. However, in the past, it was just a small fight, just shouting at each other in the distance between the mountains and rivers. However, recently, because of a big pilgrim, the incense-burning door has been changed. The mountain god went to the water god temple, which was related to whose pocket a small amount of 100,000 taels of silver would go into every year. The small mountain god asked a land man under his command to secretly persuade the pilgrims to change their minds. Unexpectedly, He Bo bumped into him. The local god was beaten to shame, and the mountain god was so angry that he directly crossed the border and waded into the river. With two big axes, he beat the river for ten miles and set off huge waves. The people were horrified. How could the water god afford such shame? He carried the river water back up the mountain and hit the mountain god. temple.
The Yao family team happened to be on their way near the river bank. The two worshipers and the Yao family monks accompanying the army protected Yao Zhen and the three Yao people to watch the excitement.
Among the group of people Chen Pingan followed, only Pei Qian and Zhu Lian followed.
Then I saw the scene of Hebo's temple on the fierce mountain.
The two sides fought hard. The mountain god stood in a favorable position and pushed Hebo back into the water. Hebo once again controlled the turbid river water, becoming more and more courageous as he fought.
You come and I go, each showing his magical powers, and a beautiful mountain peak was completely flooded by the flood, and countless towering trees were broken and collapsed.
Beyond the battlefield, the land lords and mandrills on the mountain, the shrimp soldiers, crab generals and water ghost servants by the river were waving flags and shouting, each and every one of them hoarse. They looked more tired than fighting in battle, and they were competing with each other. By the river A big red drum was set up to cheer for Mr. He Bo. The sound of the drum was like thunder. Then he quickly moved a flag several feet high from the mountain and waved it vigorously, making a hunting sound.
Shao Yuanran stood next to Yao Jinzhi, explaining to her the inside story of the gods of mountains and rivers, and his words were humorous. The girl Yao Lingzhi listened with interest, but she didn't know that her sister Yao Jinzhi under the curtain, What's going on.
Pei Qian was busy picking up the lively river fish on the shore, which was much easier than fishing by herself.
This farce was interrupted by a livid-faced Zhoucheng City God, who came in the wind, hovered in the air, and cursed the two gods bloody.
This City God is wearing an official uniform specially made by the Daquan Rites Department.The etiquette system of Buzi is the same as that of officials in the human world. The specific rank is determined by the pattern. However, the official uniforms of the City God are always black, which means that they walk in the underworld as a human monarch and restrain the many ghosts and ghosts that haunt the night. Compared with the prostitution temples that are scattered all over the world and have been repeatedly banned, the City God needs to be granted the title by the imperial court, and there is almost no case of "incorrect name". Any surname in charge of the country will naturally be more important to the City God who must take root in the city. The easiest to control, and the City God is naturally loyal to the court.
Chen Ping'an looked at the commotion of Fangshanshui and felt peaceful.
Compared with my experience in Longquan Town and what I saw and heard during my two travels, these scenes in front of me are trivial after all, not ridiculous at all, but it is difficult to visit my hometown again. It was the first time I saw the majestic river in Piyun Mountain.
Zhu Lian was standing next to Chen Pingan. Among the four followers, the Yao family was deeply impressed by this person because compared to the other three, this rickety old man really looked like a follower. In addition, they had all heard about the performance of the four people in the fight at the inn, and vaguely knew that the stunning woman carrying the sword was a swordsman, that the imposing Mr. Lu was a master of swordsmanship, and that the silent Wei Xian was guarding the barrier. A group of royal qigong practitioners attacked, but this little old man with a kind look was the most brutal. When the battle came to an end, the ground around where the old man was standing was full of broken limbs.
Zhu Lian did not go to see Chen Pingan.
Many times, people’s hearts don’t need to be seen with their eyes.
Zhu Lian became more and more curious about how Longquan County and the Lizhu Cave Heaven, the predecessor of Longquan County, could hide dragons and crouching tigers, so that such a young Chen Ping'an seemed to have seen the great winds and waves of the world long ago. There are no ups and downs of mood.
At a young age, there is no wave in the ancient well.
It is inevitable that there is suspicion of twilight and city government.
But Zhu Lian didn't think so. Chen Ping'an, who was always kind to others, gave him a vague feeling, like deep in the ancient well of his mind, there was an evil dragon swimming vaguely at the bottom of the water.
It’s just that this unknown dragon is probably bound to the bottom of the well by etiquette and rules, the distinction between good and evil, and is unable to surface or poke its head out even if it wants to. arrive.
Zhu Lian did not dare to speculate on anything else. He was only certain of one thing. Deep in Chen Pingan's heart, there must be one or two great obsessions that he could not let go of.
This time, I traveled hundreds of miles in the clouds and fog to break up the fight, making the City God work hard. I was in a bad mood and wanted to destroy the Hebo Temple
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)< /p>
The mountain temples were crushed one by one.
The matter of the gods of mountains and rivers trespassing without authorization is extremely sensitive. Once someone goes to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites in the capital, the city god like him, who sits at home alone and has trouble coming from the sky, will end up worse than those two idiots who don’t know the seriousness of the matter. Not much better.
The City God sent two trembling bastards back home. They saw the Yao family and the group of people by the river. They used the art of fortune-seeing. Just by looking at them, they felt a little dazzling and were shocked in their hearts. , want to fall down immediatelyI looked around and found out that those people were so domineering and lawless that two monks immediately drew their swords at each other and told them not to get close, otherwise it would be regarded as an assassination. The City God was so angry that he almost called back the two subordinate gods under his jurisdiction. Fortunately, after eating incense for hundreds of years, he still had some energy-raising skills. In the end, he just remembered those unfamiliar faces and returned to the city with a gloomy face.
On the way back to the main team, Yao Zhen came to Yao Jinzhi and asked softly: "Why are you so unkind?"
Yao Jinzhi said helplessly: " Along the way It is inevitable to have official dinners and banquets, but if it involves the city god and the gods, it is hard to explain. Grandpa doesn't want to be impeached by Liu Ke Yanguan before he enters Mirage City, does he? It's just a joke, but there is bound to be a wave of evil winds and rain in the capital from the officialdom to the market place, so who in the world doesn't like to watch the excitement? Aren't we here just to see the excitement? Would we care about those two mountain gods? Is it right or wrong?"
Yao Zhen is clear about it, and he takes it for granted.
The old general was filled with regret. If Yao Jinzhi was a man and stayed at the border, he would be relieved.
Pei Qian picked up a lot of river fish, but Chen Pingan was unwilling to accept them. She had to hold the fish by their tails and throw them into the river one by one, which made her sweat profusely.
When we arrived at Qihe City, which was both a state city and a county city, we were only a short distance away from Daquan Capital.
This county has a long history. The name of the county comes from the legend that an expert monk rode a crane here and soared to the sky, which made him famous. There is a hill in the county. The scenery is unremarkable. Just because it is the place where the immortal rides a crane and ascends to the sky, countless literati and poets come here to visit every year. The hill is surrounded by houses purchased and built by the powerful people of the capital. Every inch of land is expensive.
The previous City God should be in this city, but Yao Town is not afraid of a state city God.
The Minister of Rites, who controls the promotion and demotion of the city god of a country, has the same rank and salary as him. What's more, Daquan is a martial artist, and the Minister of the Ministry of War is not a false position, otherwise he would not be the first person in the care of all military generals.
Still staying in the post house. This is the rule of the imperial court. The post house in the city occupies a very large area, which is not inferior to the palace of the prince. In order to welcome Yao Zhen, the confidants of the two official residences of the governor and the county governor ran away separately. I visited the inn several times and almost emptied the entire inn.
Now that the matter has come to this, Yao Zhen can only appreciate it and pretend not to know anything. If the water is clear, there will be no fish, especially in officialdom.
Generally speaking, temples can accommodate loyal and treacherous ministers, capable and ignorant officials, and numerous idlers, but they cannot accommodate a person who resembles a moral saint.
It was like a mirror hanging high in the court hall, showing all the flaws of the pillars of the country.
The old general was filled with emotion. These principles of life were what his granddaughter Yao Jinzhi said when he was fourteen or fifteen years old.
Sometimes, Yao Zhen would laugh at himself. Could it be that all the life experiences he had accumulated at this age were just fodder for his war horse?
Fortunately, there is Chen Pingan in the team.
Yao Zhen liked to chat with this young man during his trip north.
Chen Pingan had previously discussed with Yao Xianzhi as agreed and gave him some advice. Yao Xianzhi regarded Chen Pingan's words as his guide. When he went back to talk to his grandfather, he was very sad and said that he had practiced martial arts to the point of being a dog in his life. On the body. Yao Zhen asked him, how many decades does your so-called "lifetime" mean? Yao Xianzhi was speechless, amusing Yao Jinzhi who was making tea at the side. Although Yao Jinzhi has never defeated Lu Baixiang in chess, she can be called a national player in this tea fight.
How could the Yao family, whose men and women have been brave for generations, raise such a beautiful woman in the rough and windy border land?
Yao Xianzhi said out of nowhere, "Sister Jin, I don't like that Shao Yuanran, I like Chen Pingan."
Yao Jinzhi smiled and said: "Whether you like it or not, What does it have to do with me?"
Yao Xianzhi continued to speak, but Yao Jinzhi glared at him, and he was so frightened that he swallowed the words that were on his lips.
Yao Zhen smiled very uncharacteristically of a family leader.
Yao Jinzhi said lightly, "Grandpa, if nothing happens, a secret envoy from the imperial court will come to Qihe City soon, and it will not be too late for Grandpa to laugh again."
Yao Zhen couldn't laugh anymore.
Having been immersed in these official dyeing vats for decades, these guys who have become old vixens in Gongmen practice, playing with those colorful intestines really gives the old man a headache.
Chen Ping'an practiced six-step walking in his room, held the sword in an empty position, closed his eyes and visualized the swordsmanship of each swordsman with their own style.
There is a bamboo tube placed on the table. The bamboo is ordinary green bamboo, chopped casually from the bamboo forest on a green mountain along the way.
Chen Pingan wanted to carve a pen holder as a parting gift to General Yao.
Pei Qian ran over and said she wanted to go out for a walk, so Chen Pingan asked her to ask Lu Baixiang if he would take her out. If not, then just stay in the house and study. Chen Pingan gave her a second Confucian classic before, and Pei Qian recited it very well. One time, she came to Chen Pingan's room with a face full of joy and said that she could really recite it from top to bottom. Chen Pingan picked up the book and asked her to try it. , she actually recited more than a thousand words word for word, and then Chen Ping'an grabbed her ears and asked her to go back to her room and think about her mistakes behind closed doors. He only said that she should study hard, but did you think it turned a deaf ear?
That time Pei Qian returned to his room angrily, stood on a chair, looked down at the torn book on the table, pinched his chin, and frowned, carefully? What do you mean? Aren't you careful enough? In order to be able to memorize a book backwards and forwards, it took her a stick of incense. She knelt down, looked at the name of the sage who wrote this bullshit book, and remembered it. When she mastered swordsmanship and boxing, she would definitely beat this old bastard until he cried for his father.
She stood up again and pondered for a long time, but could not figure out the answer. She jumped off the chair, carried the hiking pole that she had depended on for a long time, and practiced for a while.Pass the crazy magic stick method.
After playing, she lost her hiking pole. She suddenly felt that she was closer to the best player in the world. Then her mood improved, and she threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.
Today, with Chen Ping'an's promise, she went to find Lu Baixiang, whom she nicknamed "Xiao Bai" in private, but Lu Baixiang was actually chatting with Sui Youyou. Chess, saying that he would wait for half an hour, Pei Qian turned around and looked at Wei Xian, who was sitting aside, unable to understand chess and just waiting for the winner. She was about to speak, but Wei Xian stared at the chess game. Suddenly he said "go" and stood up. Pei Qian suddenly understood, and the two of them left the post house to go shopping.
Pei Qian asked with a smile: "Old Wei, do you have any money with you?"
Among the four, Pei Qian was the least afraid of Wei Xian and kept calling him Old Wei. , Wei Xian never looked at him with a bad face, in fact, he didn't care at all.
Wei Xian remained silent.
Pei Qian complained: "On that damn street, we saw beautiful gadgets and delicious food, but we can't even afford them."
Wei Xian suddenly said: " I have some money."
Pei Qian frowned and said, "Where did it come from? You gave me half of it, and I won't tell Chen Ping'an." He said: "I taught the little cripple in the inn a set of boxing skills and got a few taels of silver. Recently I taught Yao Xian's boxing stakes and got another dozen taels."
Pei Qian said with envy on his face: "Old Wei, you can do it. , you can make a lot of money wherever you go, I trust you on this."
Pei Qian put his hands behind his back, held his chest high and walked, and quickly said: "But you still lied to the little cripple, Old Wei. Money is not very kind. It would be better to lie to Jiuniang than to lie to him. She really has money in her pocket. It's a pity. Old Wei, you are not pleasing to look at. You are far less young and handsome than my father. Old Wei, you are so handsome. If you look like this, will you blame your parents when you grow up?"
A founding emperor said this to a little girl, but luckily Wei Xian remained indifferent.
The short man said sternly: "When the palace painters painted my portraits, they all praised my handsome appearance. I think they were telling the truth."
Pei Qian said in shock. : "Old Wei, are you stupid and deceived, or do their eyes grow on their butts?"
Wei Xian continued to practice the silent meditation.
There is no night ban in Qihe City, and there are countless rich people in the city who are willing to spend huge sums of money.
After leaving the post house and turning down a street, a large group of people and a small child were walking among the bustling crowd. Pei Qian didn't have a penny in his pocket, but he looked like a rich man.
This is not surprising. She was able to deceive a large number of her peers into thinking that she was really a princess living among the people in Hu'er Town, a place she was unfamiliar with. In the end, she was able to trick a group of smart people The slick policeman deceived her and escorted her back to the inn respectfully.
Pei Qian suddenly asked: "Old Wei, I always feel that that girl who dares not see anyone every day looks at my father in the wrong way."
Wei Xian was indifferent. Said: "The emperor's heartTechnique. "
Pei Qian was confused, "What are you talking about? "
Wei Xian stopped talking.
Pei Qian stopped asking questions and swallowed. He was a little greedy and said with a smile: "Old Wei, can you buy me one? Candy people eat? "
Wei Xian shook his head.
Pei Qian said angrily: "Old Wei, why are you so stingy with everyone?
Wei Xian smiled for the first time, "I don't have Chen Ping'an's ability and patience, so I can't raise you well." "
Pei Qian was confused and said pitifully: "Then I will borrow money from you to buy a candy man? "
Wei Xian nodded, "Calculate based on three points. "
Pei Qian frowned and said, "Although I know the rule of three points of profit, I think it's better to forget it. If you don't eat, you won't eat. You won't starve to death. ”
As she said this, she ran to a candy blower’s stall with wind on her feet. Her feet were rooted to the ground and she was unwilling to move.
Wei Xian could not be left behind. Pei Qian stays here alone.
If Pei Qian is lost, people like Chen Pingan will definitely punch him.
The old sugar man's trick is over there. Skilled, young children gathered together, all with wide eyes and drooling, and those with elders around them all got candy figures of different shapes as they wished.
A rectangular cabinet with a shelf and a wooden bottom. The round cage was equipped with a small charcoal stove. The old man poured the thick golden sugar syrup with a large spoon and turned it around, and in an instant he could turn out various candy figures.
Wei Xian paid for two skewers. Wei Xian stared at the money in his hands.
Wei Xian handed Pei the money and said, "I'll reward you." "
This tone is as if the emperor has rewarded a large vassal land.
Pei Qian smiled happily and said, "When I go back, I will say good things about you in front of my father every day. Now I am half a scholar, every spit and nail! ”
One big and one small, eating candy, inconspicuous in the sea of people.

In the post house, the chessboard The previous chapter has been divided
(This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page)
The winner is still Sui Youyou's loss.
Sui Youyou's opponent talks about something. With no intention of winning,
Lu Baixiang reviewed the game alone in the room, staring at the chess game, twirling an free chess piece between his fingers, pressing it on the table, and sliding it gently.
In the room not far away, Chen Ping'an was carving the bamboo tube. He was going to try to engrave a whole sage article on the outside of the pen tube.
Fortunately, he has been carving words on bamboo slips for these years, so he is the only one who is familiar with it. , and have the foundation of making porcelain and drawing blanks in my youth. The characters are carved so that I can't say that they are full of charm. There is a sense of uprightness between the lines. There is no overbearing or penetrating majesty, but it is as long as a stream. After all, it still has some meaning. Yes.
Some people say that the monks in the lower five realms practice to live a long life, the monks in the middle five realms are seeking immortality, and the monks in the upper five realms walk alone on the road higher and farther away, almost without stopping for a moment. < /p>
Chen PingAn felt that there was nothing wrong with this. He was busy and fulfilled, and lived up to his time. But occasionally he still needed to stop or slow down, calm down and appreciate the scenery on the path of practice.
The same is true for carving beautiful words on bamboo slips, and the same is true for making a pen holder that is not very valuable but only contains your heart.
Nothing happened all night.
Chen Pingan stayed up late and carved most of the pen holder.
After sleeping for two hours, I got up and continued to practice the sword while continuing to walk the boxing pile.
Winter is coming soon.
I don’t know if I was lucky enough to encounter the first heavy snowfall of the year when I arrived at the ferry outside Mirage City.
The Mirage City in the heavy snow is said to be like a fairyland.
While having breakfast, Chen Ping'an learned that the Yao family's team would be repairing in Qihe City for two days, but he didn't pay attention.
Yao Xianzhi came to Chen Pingan and said that they had made an appointment to visit the hill where the immortal rode a crane and soared up. Moreover, the governor's mansion had informed the post office in advance, regardless of whether General Yao was going or not. Over there, there will be martial law around the hill today, and no one is allowed to climb the mountain.
After meeting, Chen Pingan found that there were quite a few people there, including San Yao, a Taoist priest of his generation, Shao Yuanran, who was wearing a green shirt, and Sui Youyou, who rarely appeared in public.
Wei Xian and Lu Baixiang chose to stay in the post house, but the old general who had been traveling all the way did not show up this time, which was a bit unusual.
When he went out today, Chen Pingan had already put on the golden robe that was of higher quality, so he appeared in white clothes. If you were careful, you would find that there was a white jade pinned to his bun. hairpin.
The young and strong men of the Great Li Dynasty in the northernmost part of Aquarius Continent are already tall, at least half a head taller than those in Old Dragon City in the south. Moreover, it is common for men aged fifteen or sixteen to start a family and marry a wife in the cities and countryside of Aquarius Island. Only wealthy families and scholarly families would pay attention to the age of twenty or more.
After Chen Pingan practiced boxing, his stature has been growing, and before he knew it, he had the appearance of a serious young man.
Behind the butt was the dark and lean Pei Qian.
As long as she is around Chen Pingan, she is not so afraid of Zhu Lian.
The group of people went to the hill in the center of the city. Passing by the gate of the Martial Arts Temple in Zhoucheng, they saw a strange man and a strange thing happened.
It was a tall, strong young man with bloodstains on his body who broke into the Martial Arts Temple. As a result, he was quickly held up and thrown out of the gate by the leaders of the Martial Arts Temple.
The civil and military temples in Zhoucheng are not places where idlers can cause trouble.
After the young man was thrown out of the door, he kowtowed vigorously towards the Martial Arts Temple, banging and pleading with the Martial Arts Temple.
Miao Zhu was a tall and thin old man. He stood on the top of the steps and said sternly to the young man: "How can the sword held by the saint of the Wu Temple be touched by ordinary people?! I don't think you are young and ignorant and broke into the temple. I'm arguing with you, leave quickly, don't have wishful thinking!"
It turned out to be a young man who broke into the martial arts temple and wanted to borrow a sword from the saint.
The young man kowtowed until his forehead was red and swollen, and already had bloodshot eyes. He raised his head, with tears of despair on his face, and said hoarsely: "Master, for the sake of the people of this county, he devoted himself to killing monsters and eliminating harm, and now he is trapped in the mountains and forests. My life is at stake! After my master sent me out of the miasma of mountain fog, I said that only by borrowing the long knife from Master Wu Miao can I have a chance to kill the ferocious monster that is causing harm to this party! Master Miao Zhu, I beg you, This is a matter of doing good deeds, Master Wu will not be angry..."
The majestic old man sneered: "It is up to you whether Master Wu will be angry or not! Weapons, according to Daquan law, do you know what the punishment is! Local officials and county magistrates are dismissed on the spot! The governor is demoted to one rank and the governor is fined for three years!"
The young man murmured heartbrokenly. : "There is a harmful monster in the place, so the officials can just ignore it, but now even Master Wusheng doesn't want to take care of it?"
The old man seemed to have harsh words and cold eyes, but in fact he sighed in his heart. .
You young man, how can things in this world be so simple?
Zhu Lian raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Pingan, who was standing in front of him.
When Chen Pingan was about to lift his feet, Shao Yuanran had already strode out, and Chen Pingan quietly stopped his movements.
Shao Yuanran came to the young man, knelt down and asked, "Where is your master trapped? Do you know the approximate level of the demon's cultivation?"
The young man told him one by one.
Shao Yuanran reached out to help the young man, grabbed his shoulders, and said with a smile: "I will save your master and help him get rid of the demon."
Shao Yuanran turned his head and looked over his head. Yao Jinzhi, who was wearing a curtain hat, apologized: "Miss Yao, I'm afraid I can't go to the hill."
Yao Lingzhi nodded slightly, but could not see his face clearly.
Shao Yuanran grabbed Shao Yuanran, swept away, jumped onto the distant roof, touched the water a few times, and then disappeared.
Yao Xianzhi, the girl with the sword, admired him deeply and had a better impression of Shao Yuanran, the young priest of Daquan.
Pei Qian had been squinting at the person named Shao. She tilted her head and was speechless.
After this incident, the subsequent mountain climbing trip lost much interest. Moreover, the hill was indeed too small and there was nothing outstanding about it.
Only Sui Sui stood on the top of the mountain with his sword on his back, looking up at the sky with hot eyes.
Except for regretting the unremarkable scenery here, Chen Pingan did not show much emotion.
————
Whether it’s the Daquan Mountain God wading in the water, the Water God climbing the mountain, or the young martial arts temple rider in Crane City borrowing a knife, after all, they are just inconspicuous little splashes.
It is a big deal for Dafu Academy to join forces with the Taipingshan Sect Leader and jointly prevent the great demon of the Twelve Realms from escaping into the sea.
It is not a trivial matter for the gentleman Zhong Kui to go to the gate of Taiping Mountain.
In addition to the other two gentlemen, three sages and more than 20 academy disciples from Dafu Academy, the Wenyuan Academy farther south has even more scholars coming to Taiping Mountain.There were more than fifty people in total, but unfortunately there was only one old gentleman leading the group. The rest of the academy disciples were far inferior to Dafu Academy in cultivation.
This is the embarrassment of Wenyuan Academy. The academy has a poor reputation and is the least talented among the four major academies in Tongyezhou. There are often rumors on the mountain that Wenyuan Academy may be delisted. Lose the title of one of the seventy-two academies. This is because this academy has not seen a new gentleman in nearly a hundred years. There are three mountain masters in the academy, the chief and deputy, and there are not many sage articles that can be used. When people visit Wenyuan Academy, they don't go there for the saints, but for the Wenyuan Pavilion, which houses countless books.
When Zhong Kui arrived at the gate of Taiping Mountain, he followed his teacher's instructions and told all Dafu Academy disciples to follow the arrangements of Taiping Mountain Taoist and not to act without authorization.
Although misfortunes continue in all directions, Taipingshan Taoist priests, no matter what their seniority, are not in a hurry. They make decisions one by one in an orderly manner. Groups of Qi practitioners go down the mountain to encircle and suppress demons, and there are losses. There were casualties, and most of those who died in battle were Taipingshan Taoist priests. This made the Qi practitioners from the two major academies and many Xianjia caves feel respectful and cooperate more and more sincerely. During the fights, people from all over the world shared the same hatred. The person they talked about the most was definitely the young boy from the outer sect who became famous in one fell swoop. It was said that the leader of the Fuji sect had accepted him as a closed disciple and gave the young man a hand. It is a semi-immortal weapon that has been refined for hundreds of years by the sect leader and his Taoist companions.
If this young man had not uncovered the conspiracy of the great demon of the Twelve Realms and had to attack in advance, with disastrous consequences, I am afraid that most of the wells and prisons in Taiping Mountain that suppress the demons would not have escaped, but would have escaped. All of them have come to light again, especially the demons at the lowest level. They have profound Taoism and are at the lowest level of Nascent Soul cultivation.
In the past ten days, demons lurking in various places have continued to surface, wreaking havoc on one side. Moreover, most of these demons are in the Dragon Gate Realm and Golden Core Realm, which are extremely difficult to encircle and suppress.
Taipingshan did not dare to take it lightly. Almost all the Taoist priests and fellow Taoists rushed to help Taipingshan.
Only the gentleman Zhong Kui chose to stay in Taiping Mountain.
No one has any objection. This time, Zhong Kui was the one who killed the most enemies when traveling around to slay demons. Moreover, he did not just protect the disciples of his academy. He went down the mountain several times to fight dangerously, and he took the initiative to enter. There are teams of Qi practitioners from other mountain sects, so the Nascent Soul Earth Immortal who was originally responsible for the overall situation of Taiping Mountain, before going down the mountain in person, smiled to Zhong Kui and said that the mountain gate would be temporarily entrusted to Mr. Zhong.
The Nascent Soul Earth Immortal revealed to Zhong Kui privately that their Patriarch of Taiping Mountain would be able to return soon, and he might even bring back the female crowned Huang from Ouhua Blessed Land. court.
Zhong Kui laughed and said that he should come back quickly so that he no longer has to stare at the well every day.
After that, Zhong Kui would patrol the bottom of the prison alone every day.
Later that night, as soon as he walked out of the prison, he saw a big demon whose name he had heard of but had never seen before.
In fact, let alone Zhong Kui, an outsider, even Taipingshan XuMany high-ranking Taoist priests have never seen this big monster practicing on Taiping Mountain.
It was a white ape with a sword on its back and dressed in black.
The body is as tall as an adult man. He is just a white ape with a very high level. However, he has not transformed into a human form and always maintains the original appearance of a white ape.
Although Old Ape is the great demon of Tongyezhou, he is also the worshiper of Taiping Mountain. Not to mention the years of cultivation before Old Ape, he has only guarded the gate of Taiping Mountain for three thousand years. It’s been a long time.
This old ape is older than the founder of Taiping Mountain who has gone down the mountain and is the only one left with great achievements. The creation of the Well Prison was a massive undertaking by the founder of the Taiping Mountains. However, in the long years since then, the supervision of the Oshii Prison has been left to this white ape who likes to carry a sword and rarely appears in the world. There are only a few times in history. The escape of the big demon head was, without exception, all solved by Bai Yuan himself, and it was handled so cleanly that even many earthly immortals in Taiping Mountain had never heard of it.
This chaos happened when the old ape, a sword cultivator in the Yupu realm, was in retreat, trying to break the bottleneck of the immortal realm.
Unexpectedly, after only three to five years of seclusion, the old ape came out. Could it be that he knew what was going on outside and had to show up in advance?
The autumn wind is chilling and the mountains and forests are silent.
Even if the old ape is just standing there, he is like a towering mountain.
Zhong Kui was still wearing the green shirt from Daquan Border Inn and asked: "It's you, right?"
The white ape with the sword on his back did not speak.
He only answered with the sword energy rising from his back like a rainbow.
