Chapter 371 The first month of the year

After Li Er arrived at Old Dragon City, the situation in Old Dragon City became clearer. Although this tenth-level martial artist only showed his face at Chenchen Medicine Shop, it can be regarded as the final word.

Maybe the four major surnames, including the Sun family, are still unknown, but the next development of the situation is just a step-by-step process. The abacus and account book of Old Dragon City will continue to unfold. Going north, we will get closer and closer to the Great Li Song family's iron cavalry, which is already stationed in the middle of Aquarius Continent.

To this, the Fu family, Fan family and Chenchen Pharmacy are the first to know the answer.

On the day Li Er left, the Fan family came to pay New Year greetings in a big way. They were all acquaintances of Chen Pingan, not to mention the siblings Fan Junmao and Fan Er, as well as Aunt Gui from Osmanthus Island, and Her only direct disciple, Jin Su, was the sweet-scented osmanthus girl who initially served Chen Pingan to Daoxuan Mountain. Finally, she was Lao Jindan Sword Cultivator Ma Zhi, who fed Chen Pingan with swords for a period of time. Aunt Gui could hardly land ashore. Guihua Island traveled between Laolongcheng and Daoxuan Mountain twice a year, but even many elderly people in the Fan family ancestral hall had never seen her once in their lives.

In Zhu Lian’s eyes, the old man from a foreign country who was “very knowledgeable in reading” originally thought that today would be another boring day and he would not even see the woman surnamed Sui. He never thought that he would see such a person all of a sudden. There were many women, and the old man sitting in front of the drug store was eating melon seeds. He just didn't say that he was the clerk of Chenchen drug store. He was busy and very attentive. After crossing the threshold of the shop, Aunt Gui glanced at the strange old man. The old man just happened to glance at her. Aunt Gui suppressed her doubts and smiled slightly. The old man thought that this lady, although handsome, has a gentle temperament. She is the first choice for ordinary men to marry and raise children. No wonder Jiang Shangzhen's eldest son, who only cares about having children but not raising children, wants to use the name of the sect to pressure her and hopes to buy the Osmanthus Island with the Fan family, which has opened up a mature route on the Hanging Mountain. Island ferry.

Aunt Gui failed to see the depth of the old man's background, but vaguely felt that the old man's "body is clean, his breath is light, and his spirit is full." The talent of the environment.

After all, among the earthly immortals, there are also superiors and inferiors, and there are also differences between heaven and earth.

Chen Pingan ran out all the way to greet Aunt Gui. For this elder, Chen Pingan has always been grateful, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Gui's identity and cultivation.

That time when I was riding Osmanthus Island to Daoxuan Mountain and passing through Jiaolonggou, I encountered a catastrophe. Chen Ping'an entered a state of emptiness for a moment, which was like the mind of the people in Buddhism, which made Chen Ping'an feel a little confused. I was caught off guard and felt as if almost everything in the world was malicious. After that, I spent some time in depression in the courtyard. After that, when I thought of Osmanthus Island, there were only two touches of warmth. One was the painter of the Fan family who helped Chen Pingan paint three paintings. Then there is Aunt Gui, who has read all the world and is always in a peaceful mood.

Fan Er pretended to go to Zheng Dafeng's residence, but found that the exquisite portrait was not hanging on the wall.

Chen Pingan and Aunt Gui were sitting outside in the lobby chatting.

Zheng Dafeng coughed in the room and said calmly: "Recharge your energy, cultivate your body and nature... This will happen in the futureDo less immoral things. ”

At first, Fan Er felt that his tone was very similar to Mr. Fan’s. The more he listened, the more something was wrong. Fan Er immediately became annoyed and regretful, saying: “It’s also my fault, my painter, for misinterpreting my meaning without authorization. The original meaning of "Fairy Sui" is "fairy lady", and a gentleman likes to be courteous. Since the gentleman wholeheartedly admires the grace of Fairy Sui, I, as a disciple, have to do something, so I told the painter about Fairy Sui's divine appearance and asked him to make a splash-ink freehand painting. The portrait of..."

Zheng Dafeng was very pleased that this disciple had finally left the disciples.

Sui Youyou stood at the door at some point, with a sneer on his face, "This Fan The painter at home is really a master of painting. He can paint so vividly with just a few words from Mr. Fan. "

Jin Su, who has always been taciturn, frowned.

Although she has no romantic feelings for Fan Er, Fan Er is the "best candidate" for the future head of the Fan family after all. Now Guihua Island has actually been recorded under Fan Er's name. According to Chen Ping'an, this female warrior is one of his retainers. At best, she is a guest of the family, and at worst, she is a guard. But now. The situation in Old Dragon City was changing, and Aunt Gui told her to be careful in her words and deeds. Although the woman surnamed Sui disrespected Fan Er, Jin Su felt a little dissatisfied, but she still didn't say anything more. Today's New Year greetings, she had no right to speak. In this regard, Jin Su Su knew very well that even though she was the only disciple of "Mrs. Gui", one of the immortals in Old Dragon City, Jin Su's focus was still on Chen Ping'an. After three days of separation, I treated each other with admiration, probably because this guy was no longer the young man who loved to drink. His earthiness and childishness had all faded away, replaced by a... calmness.

There is a white jade hairpin in her bun, she is wearing a snow-white robe, and she has a familiar vermilion wine bottle at her waist. She is quite a bit taller, and her sitting posture is extremely upright. When speaking to others, she likes to look at them. , there would be a sincere smile in her eyes

Then Jin Su also found a small black charcoal pestle next to Chen Pingan. This skinny little girl had huge eyes and turned around. The thief was quick and secretly looked at her, Jin Su, and even her master, Mrs. Gui.

Jin Su smiled at her.

Pei Qian also smiled at her.

In Pei Qian’s eyes, these beautiful sisters, from Yao Jinzhi to Sui Youyou to the one in front of him, are all big money bags. I heard Zheng Dafeng say that there is a kind of small money in the world. The thing is called a money-moving ghost. It is one of the ghosts. Pei Qian thinks it looks like him.

As expected, Jinsu came in a hurry and didn't bring any lucky money with him. He didn't expect to meet such a ghost. Little girl, Mrs. Gui has already prepared a beautifully embroidered small sachet. It is not simple at first glance. The sachet itself exudes strands of snow-white aura, and there are also dots of tender green oozing out of it. It was bright, fragrant and pleasant. Chen Pingan roughly guessed that it was the natal osmanthus leaf of the ancestral osmanthus tree on Osmanthus Island, so he dared to accept it. Pei Qian was very good at observing people's behavior and saw that Chen Pingan was not willing to accept it as a New Year gift.Qian had no choice but to giggle and shake his head.

Mrs. Gui insisted on giving Pei Qian as a meeting gift, but Chen Pingan couldn't resist, so he had to let Pei Qian accept it. Naturally, he would keep it for him. Pei Qian did not need Chen Pingan to say anything. He received the sachet with both hands respectfully and bowed. Instead of saying thank you, she also started to say some flattering and festive words, such as wishing Mrs. Gui a long life, good health and eternal youth. Mrs. Gui found it helpful, rubbed Pei Qian's little head, and said that your master Chen Ping'an is here. There is already a house named after him on Guihua Island, and there is also a small villa named "Toad Palace" on the ferry, so I might as well give it to you.

Pei Qian's eyes widened, he was really frightened. Why, all the ladies in the world are so generous in giving gifts, and they give them to someone's house as soon as they meet? Do all the women in the world become more and more generous as they get older?

Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said: "Aunt Gui, I really can't take over this house.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

No way."

Mrs. Gui glared, "Does it have anything to do with you if I give Pei Qian a house?"

Chen Pingan coughed and said, "Pei Qian."

Pei Qian. Qian immediately straightened his back and said in a childish voice: "Once you are a teacher, you are always a father. You dare not disobey the teacher's orders, otherwise it would be unjust and unfilial."

Mrs. Gui found it interesting and glanced at it. Looking at Chen Ping'an, he asked with a smile: "Did you teach me?"

Chen Ping'an felt ashamed, "She probably learned it by herself from books after being asked to read and copy words every day?"

Pei Qian Liusu flattered him and said, "Master taught me well!"

Chen Pingan knocked down the chestnut with a smile.

Pei Qian held his head, looking aggrieved and confused.

After sending Mrs. Gui and her party away from the alley, Chen Pingan and Jindan old sword Xiu Ma Zhi walked side by side on the last step, asking the Fan family for some advice on sword raising and refining. Ma Zhi is naturally open to the art of swordsmanship.

The ninth day of the first lunar month.

There is a custom in Laolongcheng called Tiangongsheng. Every household needs to prepare flowers, candles and vegetarian dishes, and worship the sky and pray for blessings in places where the head is not covered, such as courtyards, patios, and street corners.

However, there is no old Longcheng family name in Chenchen Pharmacy, but Zheng Dafeng is even more particular than the people of Old Longcheng. The man who doesn’t even pay much attention to the Chinese New Year personally prepares flowers, candles, melons and fruits, and cooks them himself. For vegetarian dishes, three high and low incense tables were set up in the courtyard of the backyard. Finally, three sticks of incense were lit, and the ceremony of three kneels and nine bows was performed. These specifications are smaller than the worship of the monarchs of secular dynasties, and compared with the worship of ordinary people. The sky is much bigger.

Zhao's Yin God even stood with its hands tied up, with a respectful expression. It did not burn incense and offer incense, but it knelt down and paid homage, doing so meticulously.

Pei Qian squatted under the eaves and watched with gusto. Chen Ping'an took one look and didn't look at it again. In fact, this already involved the secrets of Zheng Dafeng and Yin Shen, but Zheng Dafeng himself didn't hide it, and Chen Ping'an didn't. Just pretend you didn't see it.

He went to the counter and continued to be the temporary shopkeeper and accountant. Chen Pingan was ready.Of course, you can go to Yunhai to formally refine the watermark soon.

As for which semi-immortal weapon Fu Qi will come up with, it is worth looking forward to.

In the final analysis, it was Du Mao and Tongye Zong who caused trouble for Emperor Dali this time. The latter was determined to move north from all forces in Old Dragon City. Chen Pingan and Zheng Dafeng would not take the initiative to provoke them. .

It’s just that the Great Li Dynasty obviously underestimated the cost of a great monk in the Ascension Realm who left the mountain in violation of regulations, as well as the reward he wanted to get. Therefore, no matter how much gold and copper coins Emperor Dali gave, Chen Pingan would only receive too little rather than too much.

The first bag of gold and copper coins presented by Zheng Dafeng had all been "eaten into the stomach" by the Jin Li robe. The robe was embroidered with a golden dragon in the center, and it held the unknown material. The "Li Pearl" contains more and more spiritual energy. Not only has it been repaired like new, but the quality of this robe has also improved. According to the Yin Shen named Zhao, as long as he keeps eating gold essence and copper coins, this golden wine can definitely become a semi-immortal weapon robe.

Chen Ping'an was not very happy. On the one hand, he felt sorry for the hard-earned gold and copper coins. On the other hand, Zheng Dafeng had long said that once he entered the three realms of martial arts and refining the gods, including golden body, far travel, and mountain. After reaching the top, the external possessions of the immortal family on the mountain will become more and more useless, or even become a burden.

The tenth day of the first lunar month.

Laolongcheng also has a folk name of "Shi Fudong", and there is also an allusion of a mouse marrying a girl.

Although Pei Qian is very afraid of ghosts, he likes to hear these things the most.

Pei Qian has learned to copy books earlier every day, and no longer lingers until before going to bed. This probably has something to do with Chen Pingan staring at her copying books every day.

While taking a break while copying books today, Pei Qian suddenly asked Chen Ping'an a question. He said that the book advised you not to eat fish in March, and advised people not to hunt birds in spring. Will we no longer be able to fish in spring?

Chen Pingan did not give an answer at the time. He smiled and asked Pei Qian to finish copying the book first. After Pei Qian finished writing the last word, Chen Pingan, who had been silently brewing for a long time, told Pei Qian that this was a very persuasive sentence. People say good things, but when a person still needs to work hard to survive, he can't care about these, and don't care about them. But if a person has no worries about food and clothing, believes in Buddhism, and has a compassionate heart, then he can do it. But if you see other people catching fish and birds in the spring to feed themselves when they are hungry, and you run to tell them this truth, it is wrong. You don’t even have compassion for people, so how can you have compassion for the bad things in the world? Heart? So in the final analysis, the truth is still the same, but things come first.

Pei Qian nodded and said that she probably understood.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If you don't understand, you just don't understand. Keep it in your mind first and think about it slowly."

Pei Qian laughed out loud, "I lied just now, but actually it's not I don’t understand.”

So in the first month, Pei Qian ate another chestnut.

On this day, the dusty medicine shop was still cloudy and breezy, and Pei Qian was watching Chen Pingan practicing six-step walking in the yard.

Chen Pingan suddenly stopped and called Pei Qian to the front shop.He asked the Yin God named Zhao to help isolate a small world.

Then he began to teach Pei Qian the formula, operation path, and the most exquisite rapid and slow transition of the eighteen-stop sword energy. Then he took out a drawing, on which Chen Pingan densely drew the names of the acupoints of the Qi Palace of the human body, and Pei Qian pointed them out one by one.

This is A Liang’s revised sword energy formula.

On the other side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, only a handful of young sword cultivators, including Ning Yao, learned the Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi that A Liang had perfected.

Since Pei Qian can't stand the hardship of practicing martial arts, let's try this path that is not too hard on the body and only depends on the level of swordsmanship talent. Whether she can go. As for how far she can go, Chen Ping'an has no extravagant expectations. .

Pei Qian's memory is even better than that of Chen Ping'an. The four people in the picture scroll have already learned this.

So after Chen Pingan taught it twice and explained all the precautions, he asked Pei Qian to take the picture and study it by himself.

In the evening of that day, Pei Qian felt very guilty and found Chen Pingan, saying that she was indeed a little stupid. She had practiced for such a long time before she could reach the third stop of her sword energy. , and if you want to move forward, you can't do it.

Chen Ping'an shook his head again and lectured with a straight face: "When you learn something, don't aim too high, but be down-to-earth!"

Pei Qian said, "Oh, shit!" Dian ran back to his house and continued to "play with fire".

She has been able to control the movement of that small stream of fire. It can go wherever you want it to go. It runs very fast in those so-called acupoints and meridians, and it is very well-behaved. The sword energy stopped for the fourth time. It's not possible for the time being, but if you don't want to stay here, you have your own place to stay, so go somewhere else to play!

She didn’t know that Chen Pingan was in the front shop, alone, talking about it for a long time.

The eleventh day of the first lunar month.

A Fengchen came to Chenchen Pharmacy

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Pu Pu’s rare customer.

The women of Taiping Mountain are crowned Huang Ting.

As a result, when she saw an old man from a foreign country squatting at the door eating melon seeds with two libertines, she was stunned on the spot.

The old man blinked at her hard.

Huang Ting stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. You, an old master of the Immortal Realm of the Jade Gui Sect, are you joining in the fun here?

Huang Ting had to pretend not to recognize the old man.

In terms of seniority, the person squatting at the door is half taller than the Lao Tianjun in Taiping Mountain where she is, and is about the same seniority as Du Mao, the Ascension Realm of Tongye Sect.

In terms of cultivation, now there are no bones left of Du Mao, the avenue has collapsed, and it is hard to say whether there is any soul left. The old man in front of him is the most powerful immortal in Tongyezhou, and nothing has happened to Yu Guizong. After doing this, he inexplicably became the largest immortal family in Tongye Continent, and the old man's status increased even more.

What an old man who knows how to enjoy life while lying down.

Huang Ting’s impression of this senior on the mountain is not bad, nor is it very good. After all, his temperament is very different.Thousands of miles.

Seeing Chen Ping'an who was greatly surprised, Huang Ting said straightforwardly: "With clues and some intuition, I have found an ancient palace deep in the earth's veins. Following the route, I stood there. On the dragon-locking platform, the old beast who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors was still nowhere to be found. It seemed that he had completely disappeared from the world. Later, the sect master Feijian sent a message and said there was no need to look for him, and he hurriedly returned to the master's gate. After receiving the jade plaque you mentioned from the Ancestral Hall, Lao Tianjun and Dafu Academy, as well as a monk from the Yin Yang Family, came to the conclusion that the chaos in the central part of Tongye Continent was caused by the Taoist leader of Taiping Mountain. The Nascent Soul cultivator who has fallen in glory, we in Taiping Mountain are naturally ashamed and ashamed of this. God has no face to see anyone, so he asked me to come to Old Dragon City. I hope I can find you in time and beat you. Nothing else. I'm just apologizing to you. After all, Taipingshan's vitality is severely damaged now, and I really can't afford to make a fool of myself. Well, in fact, God is planning to give you some compensation. Please tell me and stopped me. Chen Ping'an, what do you want? If you want to scold me, scold me. Don't blame Taipingshan for being unjust and petty. In the past, this was not the way he acted."

Huang Ting said with a rare bitterness, "Jing. The demons in the prison fled in all directions, and the fellow disciples went down to slay the demons. This battle was really terrible."

Chen Ping'an felt heavy and nodded: "I can imagine it."

Chen Pingan quickly took a sip of wine to calm down.

On the sidelines, Zheng Dafeng, Zhu Lian and the old man from other places listened to the news and glanced at Huang Ting.

Only in terms of beauty, the female crown Huang Ting, who returned to the vast world in the skin of an immortal who was banished to the land of lotus flowers, is more outstanding than Sui Youyou, Fan Junmao and Jin Su.

Chen Pingan asked Huang Ting about her future plans. She said that she originally wanted to visit the Middle-earth Divine Continent, but the Lord Tianjun refused to agree, saying that if she dared to go, he would dare to hang herself, as long as she Choose one between Aquarius Island and Beiju Luzhou. Huang Ting was outspoken and told Chen Pingan that she felt that Aquarius Continent was too small and that there were so many swordsmen in Julu Continent. If she happened to sharpen her sword, she might be able to join the Jade Pu Realm. She couldn't let someone like Aquarius Continent. The sword cultivator Wei Jin appeared in a small place and caused all the sword cultivators in Tongye Continent to lose face.

Huang Ting acted vigorously and resolutely. After talking about the matter, he prepared to go north with his sword.

I just accidentally saw Pei Qian practicing his peerless swordsmanship in the yard. Huang Ting thought that he still owed Chen Ping'an, and he felt unhappy. He learned that Pei Qian was Chen Ping'an.After Ping An became the "Founding Disciple", he asked the little girl if she wanted to learn Tongyezhou's fastest swordsmanship and knife skills.

Pei Qian asked back if it hurt.

Huang Ting laughed and said it didn’t hurt.

Pei Qian turned to look at Chen Pingan, who smiled and nodded.

Huang Ting stayed for one more day and taught Pei Qian a set of sword skills and a sword technique.

The white ape carries the sword with his back, and the white ape drags the sword with him.

Before leaving, Huang Ting patted Pei Qian's little head, then stretched out his fingers to pinch the little girl's cheek, shook his head and said with regret: "What a smart kid, why do you look like this?" Isn't he handsome?"

As a result, Pei Qian was very sad.

I have been depressed all day long, even with the yellow paper talisman on my forehead, I am still listless.

When Chen Pingan looked at Pei Qian like this, he remembered the little girl in a red cotton jacket who liked to call him his junior uncle.

————

In the eyes of everyone at Shanya Academy, the little girl in the red cotton jacket is a bit strange. She lives alone every day and likes to carry a small bamboo box on her back to go to school. A person, after leaving school, is still alone, climbing mountains, trees, roofs, climbing up and down, or squatting by the lake and staring at the fish, watching them swim around with their tails swung. As soon as she got the chance, she left the academy and wandered around the streets and alleys of the capital. The little girl was always alone in and out of the academy, and others seemed to feel a little lonely after watching her for a long time.

But what is strange is that the little girl is very polite. As long as she meets the masters and gentlemen from the academy on the road, she will always stop suddenly, bow and salute to say hello, and then with lightning speed, He huffed and ran away.

At the beginning, the masters and gentlemen would stop, smile and say a few words of instruction, but the red figure had disappeared. Later, they got used to it, and responded with a smile, and finally, they He shook his head with a smile and continued moving forward without stopping.

Li Baoping felt that her life at Cliff Academy was just fine.

Although Li Huai and Lin Shouyi are rarely seen anymore. And Yu Lu and Xie Xie were rarely seen, and even if they were, they seemed to have nothing to talk about.

After she talked with Cui Dongshan on the branch on the top of the mountain, she no longer took these things so seriously.

They don’t miss her junior uncle so much anymore. It doesn’t matter. She can make up for their share. She will think about her junior uncle more by herself.

The days go by like this day by day. After the new year, even the first month is almost over.

It will soon be the Lantern Festival when the red lanterns are hung high. The little girl is a little homesick for her parents, grandpa, eldest and second brothers.

Of course, there is also Junior Uncle.

My junior uncle hasn’t sent a letter to the academy for a long time.

This made Li Baoping a little sad.
