Chapter 374 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

I passed by Xianjia Ferry several times before. Except for the one at the border of Shushui Country and Songxi Country, and the time I bought and sold in Qingfufang, Chen Ping'an either came and went in a hurry, or just went shopping without buying. Today, I simply took Pei Qian and his group to visit the ferry. Chen Pingan gave each of the four people in the painting a Xiaoshu coin, and let them buy things on their own. There are "thousands and hundreds" of fairy coins on the mountain. According to legend, a piece of snow money is worth a thousand taels of silver from a secular dynasty, and a piece of Xiaoshu money is worth a hundred thousand taels of real gold and silver. You don’t have to expect extravagant spiritual weapons, but you can buy some rare and interesting mountain objects with interesting craftsmanship. It’s in the bag, and it’s not difficult to take it out to be eye-catching and pleasant.

I made an appointment with the four people in the picture scroll and met at the most famous place in the ferry an hour later. Chen Pingan took Pei Qian to go shopping in his own house. Where you sit, the chance of picking up something is very small, and the price is relatively expensive. Some of the baggage houses without a place to stay are the most popular for people to try their luck and pay attention to their eyesight. Most of these people are casual cultivators in the mountains and rivers, and they are from all over the world. The family likes to collect at low prices from the children of the rich and powerful families in the past who have fallen into decline, or they claim that the ancestors of the family or the ancestors of the masters have produced golden elixirs and Yuanying immortals. The number of ways to sell things is roughly the same. Buyers Don't worry about this. Chen Ping'an learned a lot from Xu Yuanxia, ​​a bearded hero who traveled all over the country. Later, Yao Jinzhi explained that "pairing in a cage" actually belongs to this industry.

Pei Qian is not deeply involved in the world, so he is dazzled by the all kinds of fairy calligraphy and paintings, spiritual treasures, and charming mountain monsters in various shops. Pei Qian is a bit good, and is ridiculed by Zhu Lian as a little glutton. He likes it. He accepts things without rejecting anyone who comes. He doesn't like spending money and doesn't give out any money. Therefore, no matter how coveted the object was, she would only take a few glances at it, and would never open the small sachet that Mrs. Gui gave her as a gift and ended up being used as a money bag. If she really liked it, she would cut it into pieces once she had seen it. Treat it as her own, and she just keeps it in the store temporarily.

Chen Pingan has never been lavish, so he and Pei Qian walked around for about half an hour and walked through more than a dozen shops without taking out a single copper coin.

On the way, he met Bao Fangzhai, a middle-aged lame man with a simple and honest appearance. He claimed that his surname was Liu, and you could call him Liu Gangzi. He saw Chen Ping'an, who was dressed in white robes and carrying a long sword with a white scabbard. After seven or eight hundred steps, he looked honest and spoke well. He said that his grandfather was the general of the Wenjing Kingdom. After the fall of the Wenjing Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor died on the way to escape and lost a Jiaotai. The Chihu Button Jade Seal, one of the seventeen treasures of the palace, was brought to the people by his grandfather. Now a great immortal master of Qingluan Kingdom has collected all sixteen treasures, and the only thing left is this "Sacred Treasure of Condensation of Luck". Collect this In the industry, "pursuing goodness and perfection" is the top priority, so this treasure, which "may also contain the dragon spirit of national destiny", is priceless.

The reason why the man followed him seven or eight hundred steps away was that, firstly, the young man next to him looked like a wealthy young man. He had a good temper and did not chase people away, but listened carefully. Secondly, the man was really If the business doesn't open, there will be a lot of trouble. The one who managed to fool him last yearAt the end of the new year, three small sums of money are at stake, which can buy him several lives. He has lived a miserable and miserable year. According to the rules, once the first month of this year is over, if no wrongdoer takes the bait, he will really suffer. State-owned and state laws , there are rules in the industry, it will really kill people.

In order to sell some things to survive, the man would do anything he could. As a Qi practitioner of the Three Realms, he shamelessly followed along without saying a word, and even took the initiative to introduce the scenery of the ferry to the young man. .

This Xianjia Ferry on the border of Qingluan Kingdom is called Fengwei Ferry. It originated from the beginning of the ferry's construction. It was once a small town. In history, there was a man who started here. The Jade Pu Realm Immortal in his infancy, as a wild cultivator in Shanze, rose to the upper five realms with great perseverance and great opportunities. Various deeds of the Immortal spread throughout the continent. He is extremely famous among all the wild cultivators in Aquarius Continent. This human ancestor The house is located in an alley called Jiafeng Trail, and it is located at the end of the alley. In later generations, the ferry was named Fengwei Ferry.

Since the ferry is located at the border of the Three Kingdoms, in order to compete for the ownership of this alley and this ancestral house, for hundreds of years, the Tang family of Qingluan Kingdom and the two neighboring countries used pens and knives to fight against each other. There were countless fights on paper and on the battlefield, but the three parties had a tacit understanding that the war would not affect the ferry. For this reason, Guanhu Academy specially sent gentlemen and sages to mediate the matter several times.

Under the strong recommendation of the man, there is a kind of well-water fairy brew in the ferry that is unique in the world. A small pot of it costs a piece of snow. The dignitaries of the Qingluan Kingdom like to use it to show off their extravagance. That person The young master really bought a pot of well water wine from a corner shop and asked the shopkeeper for two white bowls. After sitting down, he smiled and extended his hand to the man to sit down and drink together. The man originally wanted to stand aside and look pitiful, saying Maybe the young master felt pity and bought his tattered belongings. But it was because of the alcohol bug in his stomach that he sat down to drink. While drinking, he complained that he couldn't control his mouth, thinking that he was too greedy to drink. , this deal was probably ruined. I had mixed feelings for a while, and I just tasted it as a bowl of guillotine wine.

Chen Pingan clinked the wine bowls with the man and asked with a smile: "Since this jade seal is valuable and there are immortal masters waiting for it to complete the seventeen treasures of Wenjing Kingdom, why don't you just go to the door to sell it?"

The man had already prepared a plan to deal with such problems as buyers, and said with a wry smile on his face: "That old earthly immortal has great cultivation, but his character... I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the money if I take it. "

The man's voice was deep and he spoke half of his words vaguely.

Chen Pingan nodded. This explanation made sense. The gods on the mountain said they were practicing Taoism, but this Tao has eight hundred side gates and three thousand left side gates. Therefore, there are different Ascension Realm monks like Du Mao on the mountain. ? Earlier, there was Liu Zhimao, the real Lord Jiejiang of Shujian Lake? As for the group of evil-minded Qi practitioners from Fuji Zong Huantianjie, if their skills were not inferior to others and ended up being killed thousands of miles away, once they surrounded and ambushed him and Lu Tai, they would be really rich now. With this With enough financial resources, there might be one or two more golden elixir immortals in the world.

The man probably thought that if he didn’t take some strong medicine, he would miss this foreigner who was not short of money.Brother, he put down the wine bowl and said in a low voice: "Actually, the wording that my ancestor is the great general of Wenjing Kingdom is a taboo for the venerable, and it was used to deceive others. My grandfather is actually Anlefang, the capital of the old Wenjing Kingdom. Anlefang was originally a place where the royal family kept rare and exotic animals. Later, it was abandoned due to lack of financial resources. It was used to house the eunuchs and maids who were demoted from the palace after making mistakes. The subjugated king of Wenjing Kingdom, when he was young, I grew up in the filthy Anlefang. When I was a child, I was often taken care of by my grandfather. Later, I became very prosperous. From an illegitimate child who was hidden outside, I somehow became the emperor. No matter why the country fell, he was still a caring monarch. Afterwards, I treated my grandfather very politely. After the capital was captured by the Yunxiao Kingdom army, I fled to Anlefang. I was young at that time and didn’t remember much, so in the end, I handed down this jade seal from my grandfather. Before he left, he also He told me that he must give the jade seal to the descendants of Wen Jingguo and not treat it as his own property..."

At this point, the man took a sip of wine and his eyes were dull, "I am such an unworthy descendant. , I'm sorry for my grandfather's last words, and I'm sorry for the rumored Prince Wenjing who changed his surname and went to the mountains to practice Taoism."

The man's lips trembled, and there were tears in his eyes, "Young master, you can do it. Okay, let’s buy this jade seal, a national treasure, so that I can buy wine and pretend to be drunk, and I don’t have to face it every day and feel guilty to death.”

Chen Ping’an poured another one for the man. Holding a bowl of amber Shuijing Xianren Brewing, he shook his head and said: "I can treat you to a drink, but I won't buy anything."

The man still refused to give up, "Young master, don't you even take a look to see if the things are real or fake?" I believe you can tell whether it’s good or bad. Even if you bargain hard, I won’t regret it.”

Chen Ping’an still shook his head, “I don’t have a fortune...so let’s forget it.” , you should find a buyer who knows the goods and has a good relationship, don't waste your time on me." As soon as Pei Qian was about to speak, he glanced at Chen Ping'an and immediately shut up.

After the man drank the second bowl of wine, he apologized and thanked him, then stood up and left in despair.

Pei Qian said softly: "It's quite pitiful."

Chen Ping'an drank wine, "It's true that it's pitiful, but the things may not be real."

Pei Qian was puzzled: "I haven't seen it, how do I know? What if it's true? We're not in a hurry anyway."

Chen Pingan patiently explained: "What if it's true? If this incident really falls on us, this is of course the best outcome. Let’s talk about the worst outcome.”

Pei Qian was confused, “It’s not true. Did you miss this guy?"

Pei Qianran suddenly slapped the table with his hands and said distressedly: "This is unbearable!"

Chen Ping'an! He smiled and said, "What's the worst outcome? The worst case scenario is to design a fairy jump for others. Not only will they be forcefully bought and sold, but maybe once we can afford the fairy money, the other party will take advantage of it and even kill people to buy goods." Let’s just say that we are not familiar with this person, even if his nature may not be the same.How bad it is, but once you encounter an insurmountable obstacle, such as owing a lot of debt, the debtor is weak and the debt collector is ruthless. When the two are combined, the poor person must be hateful. , we pity him now, who will pity us then? "

Pei Qian thought carefully and said, "There are quite a few of us. Anyway, we are justified. How about beating them to death with a few punches?" "

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "When you go out, if you only rely on your fists to reason, then Du Mao can meet us, but we can't meet others? "

Pei Qian said aggrievedly: "But we are good people? Not the old thief Du. The evil man was struck by lightning. After death, he went into a frying pan, pulled out his tongue, cut out his heart and liver, and poured red-hot iron juice into his mouth..."

Chen Ping'an interrupted Pei Qian's nonsense. , “Where did you know these things? "

Pei Qian said with lingering fear: "Last time I was admiring lanterns in Laolong City during the Lantern Festival, there were so many lantern festivals that were said by novices to 'warn the world and educate people, shock evil and encourage good'. I was After staring at it for a while, I felt that it had nothing to do with me, but the book said that if there are problems, I should correct them and encourage them. ”

Chen Ping’an now has a small medicinal wine in his sword gourd. It’s not easy to put the Shuijing Xianren wine, a specialty of the ferry, and there are a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine presented by the Fan family in the nearby jade plaque. , in fact, in the past year, I have not been short of good wine to satisfy my craving, so I only bought two jars from the store, planning to put them together with the sweet-scented osmanthus wine later. When they arrived at Luolu Mountain, they buried them together behind the bamboo building. One jar every ten years, which is considered He is one of Chen Pingan's rich family members.

At the entrance of Fengwei Alley, he met the four people from Wei Xian who were coming one after another.

This time he met Fengwei. Du, Chen Ping'an didn't like anything particularly interesting. He only bought Pei Qian a book about sages with rich pictures and texts. The printing was excellent and every word was full of energy.

It was there. When Chen Pingan was about to leave the ferry, a young man carrying an empty wine bottle walked out of the alley. He was tall and had a belt like a fine iron chain around his waist.

Chen Pingan narrowed his eyes for a moment. , but soon returned to his normal expression, planning to do more and pretend not to know him.

Unexpectedly, the man saw Chen Pingan, walked quickly to Chen Pingan, stretched out his finger and pointed. , he probably vaguely recognized Chen Pingan, but he couldn't remember his name, and he looked a little anxious for a while.

Whether it was a blessing or a curse, Chen Pingan had to say hello with a smile. Pingzhou Yayan said: "We met once at the gate of that small town. At that time, I was inside with the gatekeeper, and you were standing outside the fence gate. You have such a good memory. You can still recognize it after so long. out of me.

The burly young man smiled and nodded, somewhat happily, "Yes, it's you. Apart from the gatekeeper, you are the first local person in the town that I met. I never thought that I could still be here." When I saw you, I didn't dare to recognize you at first. You have changed too much. You said that I have a good memory, but I think you are not bad at all, or even better than me. ”

Seeing Chen Ping’an holding two pots of Shuijing Immortal Brewing in his hands, thisThe young man with a green stubble on his chin said with a smile: "You have lost money on the well wine. The real immortal wine can be made by drawing water from the three oldest wells. These two pots of yours were later unknown. The conscientious businessman dug a dozen new wells without permission, but the taste is not right. Come on, I will take you to buy real old well wine, otherwise your trip to Fengweidu will be in vain."

As soon as he took a step forward, he laughed and said: "Forget it, the world is dangerous, let's not get close to each other."

The burly young man reported the addresses of two wine shops to Chen Pingan, "Will you?" Just go buy the wine by yourself, so that I won't make people feel like I'm being indifferent, so that both of you and I won't be worried."

He said goodbye to Chen Ping'an with fists in his arms, and strode off to buy wine.

He is a cheerful person.

Chen Pingan sighed in his heart.

The iron chain used as a belt by the burly young man was clearly the thick iron chain in the lock shaft of Lizhu Dongtian before it shattered and fell. At that time, Chen Pingan heard that this person had taken it away. This great opportunity, in addition to the Five Elements object, among the many magic weapons in Lizhu Dongtian that was hidden in the market at that time, this object was five or six pieces including Song Jixin's green gourd, mandrill pot, and a bright evil-suppressing mirror. It is the most precious, and this dragon-locking iron chain is the most valuable. It was once a demon-binding rope that successfully bound the last real dragon in the world. It is of such high quality that you can imagine.

Now that it has been refined into a natal object by this person, and it is shown to others openly and openly, it is probably because of the boldness of a skilled person, or because the backer is high enough, or both.

That was Chen Pingan’s first real contact with the outside world.

Mountain Monkey in Zhengyang Mountain, Cai Jin's Slips in Yunxia Mountain, Xu's family in Qingfeng City, and Fu Nanhua in Laolong City.

It was one life and death situation after another. It was the most difficult period for Chen Pingan. , Facing the Ascension Realm Du Mao in Old Dragon City, he still had to be huge.

Just like Lu Baixiang confided his feelings in the courtyard that time, on the road of life, as long as you can meet a flower in the wilderness, everything will be different.

Chen Pingan met a good girl who smiled and made Chen Pingan feel like the richest man in the world.

How could I not like her? How could I not take her to heart?

The last time Lao Longcheng and Fan Er were drinking on the roof of the drug store, Chen Pingan said, "The girl I like, she is already the prettiest. But she is even better looking than the prettiest. It was when I was looking at her and she pretended not to know, with her face turned sideways and her eyelashes trembling slightly."

At that time

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)< /p>

Fan Er was a little confused and asked him, how much do you, Chen Pingan, like that girl?

Chen Pingan was a little drunk at the time, just holding the sword gourd and having fun.

————

Follow the route in Chenpingan to find the authentic Laoshuijing wine.The burly young man did not want to bump into the young man who had left Lizhu Cave Heaven again, so as not to arouse suspicion, so he deliberately chose a restaurant elsewhere. On the road, an old man with a reserved expression quietly appeared, came to the young man and said something. A small thing. < /p>

I wanted to say something more, and I wanted to take this opportunity to clean up the unhealthy trend in Fengweidu, but when I thought about the difficulty of the life of a wild cultivator, the young man shook his head helplessly, "That's it, that's it. There is no need to deliberately beat them, it is all their own good fortune. But no one in Fengweidu is allowed to mess with the foreigners I just met. Furthermore, take this opportunity to help Lao Liu pay off the debt in private. Yes, according to the rules, it’s just a few Xiaoshu coins. After that, you can find an opportunity to scare Lao Liu again and make him stop being a bad gambler. With his little wealth now, he can live a comfortable life. It's comfortable enough."

The old man asked cautiously: "If Liu Gangzi can't control it in the future, will he continue to gamble?"

The burly young man said: "Then it will be his own fault. Okay, I can help you once, but I can’t help you forever.”

The old man hesitated to speak.

The burly young man shook his head and said: "Although that jade seal is genuine, ordinary Qi practitioners cannot touch it. Master said, don't underestimate the residual luck of the country's subjugation. The blessings and misfortunes here are great. Go, after all, the Jiang family of Wenjing Kingdom still has a prince who is still practicing Taoism in the mountains. As for the guy who is obsessed with collecting the seventeen treasures of Wenjing Kingdom, he is suitable for pursuing the dragon-supporting technique. We are not good at this kind of thing. We cannot control our greed. We are just like Lao Liu. Maybe even worse. We Qi practitioners are cultivating immortality. We are not reasonable at all. If we continue to gamble with God, we will get tired of living. ."

The old man was ordered to leave.

This old retinue who lives in seclusion at Fengweidu is the golden elixir monk who noticed Chen Ping'an's "awesomeness" at a glance.

The burly young man sighed all the way. It was not until he bought a pot of wine and drank the most mellow and authentic Immortal Brew that he felt better.

When he was young, he was spotted by a wandering master passing by the seaside. He told his family that he had excellent bones and was accepted as his disciple. His parents happily agreed, because at first the family elders were sure that he was not suitable. After practicing Taoism, he was regarded as a waste by the precocious peers in the family and looked down upon. After that, he left the family at a young age and brought the Beetail Ferry to his master. Lived in the dilapidated alley. Over the years, his cultivation level has risen rapidly, and he has seized many opportunities. However, the young man has no idea of ​​returning to his hometown in fine clothes and proud of his family, which is aloof and strict in rules. He only wants to return home secretly, meet his parents, and repay his gratitude. The kindness of upbringing is enough, but it is the sister who is the direct descendant of the eldest brother of the family. The young man has always been grateful in his heart, repaying every drop of kindness with a spring. Mountain people like to talk about this, but in his heartBut he would not be serious about it, but he was willing to be serious about it, so even though the master was very distressed, he still insisted on giving away the little thing he accidentally captured as one of her dowry. It is said that the whole family was in a state of shock at that time and could not believe it.

You can be a human being without owing money or feeling guilty.

He thinks this is good.

While drinking, the proprietress of the wine shop is an ordinary-looking woman. She is honest and loyal, guarding the ancestral craftsmanship and the old well. She is not very good at doing business. She should be making a fortune every day from her business. , I was stunned to make a small business for her. After all these years, I have seen with my own eyes the gentle-natured eldest sister next door, who married into a woman and sold drinks year after year. She still blushes and gets embarrassed when meeting drunkards who speak frivolously. But the corners of her eyes were also getting wrinkles little by little. The burly young man would be glad that he had met his master. Maybe one day the grandson of the landlady would still look the same when he was old.

Although Fengwei Ferry is a fairyland ferry, there are many ordinary people who cannot escape birth, old age, illness and death.

Master always said that these white-haired, seventy-year-old people at the foot of the mountain are the root of the small group of Taoists on the mountain.

Without them, the so-called monasticism is just a loft in the sky.

The burly young man didn't think too much about this. He was really too lazy to think about it. Anyway, he always liked to take things as they came when it came to his practice. He would not take the initiative to harm others, and he would not be soft-hearted if he was harmed by others. Therefore, his master has been advising him to choose one of the three emperors of Qingluan Kingdom’s Tang family, Yunxiao Kingdom’s Yan family, and Qingshan Kingdom’s He family, and then go to the court incognito to sharpen his Taoist heart, and prescribe the right medicine early to resolve his inner demons, so as not to worry about it one day in the future. It was only after he became the Nascent Soul that he was able to make ends meet, but he couldn't shirk it all the time. What was the point of dealing with emperors and generals all day long? The Tang Emperor was extravagant and greedy for face, and liked to compete with the gods on the mountain for financial resources. The Qingshan Emperor He had eccentric hobbies and the shocking "Five Beauties" in his harem. He was more fond of the abacus than the businessman's son. It is said that he even wrote a popular "Qian Materia Medica", which said that "money is sweet, hot, poisonous and medicine, can communicate with the gods, and can make ghosts grind mills." Yu Dao breaks through the merchant's skills.

He drank a jug of wine and paid the bill. He filled the jug with dozens of kilograms of Shuijing Immortal Brewing, stuck it on his waist, and walked away. He also ordered two more small jugs of fine wine, pointing his fingers Clamp two wine bottles. The woman was not surprised by this. The entire Fengwei Ferry knew that this young man had an extraordinary identity and no one dared to provoke him. He had lived deep in the alley of Jia Feng Trail at a very young age and never provoked anyone. It was said that he He just looks after half of the alley for someone and is responsible for collecting rent. The people who were able to rent a house on Jiafeng Trail were either casual cultivators with huge wallets or arty generals and ministers from the Three Kingdoms. The rest were local forces who bought the house directly. The latter treated the man under their noses The young people who grew up under his parents respected him very much.

The burly young man walked back to the alley and gradually entered the depths of the alley. Behind him, there was a man fifty steps away.In the middle of the alley, there are two large empty houses facing each other. On the gates are painted door gods that have not been changed for hundreds of years but are always new. On the left are two paintings of Wen gate gods, and on the right hand side are two Wu gate gods. , when the young man walked past two houses, he threw a wine bottle with one hand, and there were four painted door gods on the left and right. Each of them stretched out a golden arm. After catching the wine bottle, he put it back "inside the door", and then on both sides In the portrait, there are Wen and Wumen holding an inexplicably extra paper-painted wine pot. After drinking the wine, they handed the wine pot in their hands to their colleagues nearby. After drinking the wine, the four painted door gods returned to normal. , but the paper seemed to be a little soaked in the beard of a bearded military general and door god, but it soon dried up as before.

The burly young man returned to the house where he lived alone. It was deserted and deserted. It had been like this for so many years. Master, he liked to wander around. Every time before, he vowed that he would find him a girl like a flower this time. The beautiful master wife came back. This time she was not going to the future master wife who was still sleeping in her mother's womb. God knew whether she was still sleeping in her mother's womb. She was here for a serious matter. She was said to be here for the glazed golden body of a certain upper-level five-level immortal soldier. Go, a few of them fell on the Aquarius Continent territory. Once you grab one of them, you will make a fortune, and you will have a daughter-in-law. For this purpose, Master also found a close friend, otherwise he might not be able to win over several old tortoises of the same age. With that friend helping out, the possibility would be greater.

The burly young man also had some concerns, worried about whether his so-called friend would be greedy for such a valuable treasure.

Master laughed and said that everyone in Aquarius Island has this possibility. This old turtle who calls himself the Jade-faced Young Man will definitely not do it. Although this person has a hard and smelly temper, he is better than Maokeng. It's not as good as the stones inside, but this person is known as "no ghosts in his heart" on the road of cultivation. In this life, he has fought to the death twice for the loyalty of his friends and the honor and disgrace of the sect. After rising to the Yupu realm twice, he fell back twice. In the Nascent Soul Realm, even those in the Ascension Realm may not have such heroic spirit. Ruan Qiong, the swordsmith master of Fengxue Temple, is now a military saint. In his early years, he was also famous for his straightforward temper. He once threatened that as long as he is like this, When a person needs a sword, he, Ruan Qiong, not only forges the sword immediately, but also personally delivers it to the top of the mountain.

This was the first time for the burly young man to see such a reassuring master, and he felt relieved.

For a while, I was a little curious about the old master's friend whose nickname was more "elegant and chic".

————

After Chen Pingan bought two more pots of Laoshuijing Immortal Brew, the group went to the last tourist attraction in Fengweidu, which was a shade-covered tree There are thousand-year-old apricot trees in several acres of land. The bottom of the big tree is empty and full of copper coins and gold and silver. About this tree, the man from Baofuzhai who calls himself Liu Ganzi has a lot to say. He rose from the ruins of Wenjing Kingdom. Before the founding of the Qingshan Kingdom, this old apricot tree had a lot of stories. It was first granted the title of Imperial Tree by the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty of Qingluan Kingdom. Later, Emperor Wenjing Kingdom was not to be outdone and sent a temple chief to come here. The imperial seal was probably downgraded to one level. It was commonly known as the Prime Minister Tree in the local area. Finally, the emperor of the Yunxiao Kingdom also joined in the fun. Three hundred years ago, the Yunxiao Kingdom was at its peak.At that time, a meritorious military general came here on horseback and erected a monument and wrote an article. Therefore, the people of Yunxiao Kingdom are still used to calling him General Xing.

The emperor's tree, the prime minister's tree, the general's apricot, one tree and three imperial seals are a strange story.

Under the tree, Pei Qian took out the small sachet given to her by Aunt Gui. At that time, in addition to a few green osmanthus leaves, there was actually a small cinnamon branch as long as her finger. It is full of cinnamon seeds, even if the tree is broken, the fragrance will not diminish at all, and the golden cinnamon seeds will not fall off. The cassia leaves and cassia branches are all placed in the Duobao box, occupying an exclusive compartment and only filled with empty sachets. The snow money that Chen Ping'an gave her as New Year's money, and a few copper coins that she earned through hard work, such as when she begged Sui Youyou to buy new year goods in Laolong City and negotiate with others for one penny at a time. I picked up seven or eight pills and put them all in this sachet and money bag.

Because Chen Ping'an said that the sachet is not a common object, Pei Qian did not dare to tie it around his waist carelessly. He usually only dared to put it in his sleeve pocket. Now he was holding it with both hands. I thought it would be nice to have some more apricot leaves and apricot flower branches.

There are not many tourists here at Millennium Xinghua. The native people of Fukou only come here to throw money and pray for blessings during festivals. Most of the ferry passengers at Fengwei Ferry are familiar mountain businessmen who do not believe in this. They didn’t want to spend money on a set, so now there were only Chen Ping’an and his party, and a few groups of market children playing and riding bamboo horses. Further away, a few children were flying paper kites, and the high branches of apricot trees Above, there were still a few paper kites that had unfortunately become entangled and broken.

Chen Ping'an saw the apricot tree where the spiritual energy was flowing faintly, and was about to leave, but found that the little lotus figure emerged from the ground, standing on the hollow belly of the apricot tree like a door, and probed his head.

Soon another head emerged from the pile of money and looked at the lotus figure.

The latter climbed out of the pile of money, straightened his back, put his hands on his hips, and looked full of arrogance, but he could not hide the curiosity and excitement in his eyes.

The little guy is dressed in luxurious and funny clothes. He is wearing a cute and cute bright yellow dragon robe, with an ivory jade wat at his waist and a mahogany sheath knife.

Pei Qian tugged on Chen Pingan's sleeve. Chen Pingan thought for a while, took out a piece of snow and gave it to Pei Qian. He smiled and said, "Go, remember to talk to this little fairy Xing. Don't offend others."

Pei Qian ran over and squatted at the "small door".

After about a stick of incense, Pei Qian came back with a full load of money. Chen Pingan couldn't laugh or cry. Without saying anything, he rewarded him with a chestnut.

But this time, for the first time, the little lotus figure stood on Pei Qian's side, dancing and babbling.

Pei Qian felt a little guilty. He turned around and wanted to hand back the soil and the pink sapling in his hand to the apricot tree charm. It was a pity that she I even took out two snow coins for this. This transaction is considered a loss.

The little lotus flower is stupid and can’t speak, but the little one dressed in fancy clothes is smarter., Aquarius Zhou Yayan spoke more smoothly than her Pei Qian, the little thing chatted with Little Lotus for a long time, but Pei Qian didn't understand at that time, and then Little Lotus knocked Pei Qian's boots with his hand and stretched out his hand. Pointing to the snow money in Pei Qian's hand, Pei Qian began to bargain with the little apricot tree demon. He also blew a cowhide with it, saying that the spiritual energy in his home was infinitely richer and thicker than here. Just like water, you can drink it until you are full with just one sip. In the end, the silly little thing just twisted on the dirt in front of Pei Qian, transformed into a small sapling, and told Pei Qian to take it back to his hometown. , find a place to plant it, don’t treat it badly, and make sure it drinks enough of the spiritual energy that is like water every day. Pei Qian promised and patted his chest loudly, but in fact he was ready to eat chestnuts as much as he wanted. preparation.

Chen Pingan understood what happened, took the soil and saplings from Pei Qian's hand, walked to the root of the tree and squatted down.

The little guy wearing a dragon robe, wearing a jade saber and carrying a sword, stood in the pile of money, his eyes full of vigilance.

After some questions and answers, Chen Pingan learned the truth. It turned out that it was about to enter the fifth level, but the spiritual energy here was insufficient. To be precise, it did not dare to absorb too much spiritual energy. After all, it was here. Qi practitioners gathered together at the Xianjia Ferry. It was able to take root and practice here only by relying on three so-called imperial titles that were not so justifiable. The courts of the Three Kingdoms actually didn't care much about it. What's more, the power behind this ferry was weakening. It has always been the most taboo thing on the mountaintop of the Immortal Family, just like Du Mao, who forcibly occupied the spiritual energy contained in the entire Wutong Small Cave. Although he was more selfish, in order to ascend to other places, in fact, once the ascending was successful, according to the rules established by the sages of the world, Haoran , Tongye Sect can bring merits to him, and Xuegong Academy will protect that "sect" for at least a thousand years. It is undeniable that this is also an important reason why Du Mao wants to take the risk of ascending. Otherwise, he can just hide in the Wutong Cave and destroy the left and right. He could open the great formation of mountains and rivers, but he was destined to be unable to break the restriction of the cave and sky.

After Du Mao failed to ascend, almost all the disciples of Tongye Sect changed from being in awe and admiration for the ancestor of Zhongxing to being extremely resentful towards Du Mao. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as unforgettable. , think of him as the eternal sinner of Tongye Sect, the ancestor of the bullshit ZTE, the ruined ancestor who squandered the ancestral foundation. As for Du Mao’s half-original intention, he threw himself into another big prison to find a way out for Tongye Sect. As for the way out, very few people would think about this, and

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

The purple-robed sword cultivator, the Tongye Sect leader, and the patriarch in charge Including the old monks from Yupu Realm who had the genealogy, for some unknown reason, these few people were angry with the sect and did not deliberately suppress, channel or relieve them. Du Mao's lineage, such as his direct descendant Du Yan, not only Losing the treatment of a Nascent Soul follower and being held accountable, the Du family's family fortune was almost completely destroyed and used to turn over to the sect to fill the vacancy.

It’s either this or that, black or white.

The two ends of a ruler.

Especially things involving one’s own real interests, like thisThat's human nature.

Chen Pingan hopes that if one day he really opens a sect in the future, he would rather no one thinks that Chen Pingan is a flawless moral saint from the beginning. In the end, if anything happens, Even if something irreversible happened, no one would think that he was an unforgivably evil person. Even if people's hearts are separated, we should strive for a good reunion and a good separation, and try our best to have a decent beginning and ending.

Chen Ping'an squatted on the ground, looked down at the ancient apricot Jingmei, and asked with a smile: "I didn't discuss it with the immortal master here at Fengweidu, and asked me to serve as an enshrinement to the guest. In one of the Five Mountains, after signing a mountain alliance, there is an extra King of the Five Mountains who cannot escape. They should be happy to see it happen, right?"

The little guy sat down on the top of Qian Mountain, full of joy. With a sad face and a childish voice, he said: "I think so too, but those guys who smell like copper can trust me, but I can't trust them. This is a troublesome place. Fengwei Ferry is adjacent to the three countries of Qingluan, Qingshan and Yunxiao. Several forces are intertwined, and no one obeys the other. For the sake of money, they secretly beat out the brains of the other party. Mountain Alliance, which country do you think I should choose? The two families still hate me to death? Maybe one day they will secretly find someone to cut my body into pieces and burn it as firewood? Don't all the scholars say that it is better to die than to live? Well, there is also the saying that a dead Taoist friend will not die but a poor Taoist."

Chen Ping'an just pretended not to hear the last sentence, and was deeply concerned about the little guy's hidden worries. Of course, as a helpless Xingshu Jingmei, if she wants to break through the realm, she needs to make a mountain alliance with a Qi practitioner. However, Fengweidu is located at the border of the three realms and is not under the jurisdiction of any country, so this is really an awkward situation. A minor annoyance. If Fengweidu was a dominant family, it would be okay.

Chen Pingan was helpless.

The little guy said pitifully: "I heard from the little black girl that the Immortal Master lives in a place like a paradise in the cave and absorbs spiritual energy like a common person drinking water. You might as well help me and take this little sapling back with you. , once it survives, it can also help the immortal master stabilize the spiritual energy of the landscape. This is a mutually beneficial good thing for both of us. Ordinary qi practitioners will not mention the merchants who are greedy for money, but only the farmers and pharmacists. Who will not This is a blessing from heaven. You must cherish this passing immortal master!"

Chen Pingan put the soil and saplings on the ground and said with a smile: "Do you want more? You say, 'If God doesn't take what he wants, then you will be blamed for it'?"

The little guy was dejected and scratched his cheek: "The two little ones are so easy to fool, but you, the older one, are experienced in the world, and you really can't. "It's easy to cheat."

Once Chen Ping'an plants this small sapling on the hilltop of his home, the latter can help stabilize the aura of the landscape. It is not false, but it is extremely limited. More people will continue to plant trees for their ancestors. Stealing spiritual energy is definitely a money-losing business that outweighs the gains.

As for the inside story about the charm of these trees, Chen Pingan was on Osmanthus Island. Because there were old locust trees in his hometown town, he contacted them.The Fan family worshiped Lao Jianxiu Ma Zhi and chatted, and learned some inside stories.

After Chen Pingan returned the soil and saplings, the Xinghua Jingmei was quite discerning and gave Pei Qian two snow coins.

Little Lotus Flower is very sick, Pei Qian is also shy, and both of them feel sorry for Chen Ping'an.

Chen Pingan put the lotus figure on his shoulders, held Pei Qian's hand, and laughed softly: "What are you feeling guilty about? It is the one who should feel guilty."

Inside the "gate" at the bottom of the apricot tree, lying in the mountain of money, he yawned and said: "I have to wait for the next fool to take the bait."

It fell asleep in a daze, and had a sweet dream. I actually dreamed that I was growing into a towering tree on a large mountain that was constantly growing and towering into the clouds. Every apricot leaf was filled with golden aura, and every branch was infused with golden incense. In one fell swoop, it became the only upper-five flower and tree essence in Aquarius Continent... On the high branches on its body, there were two blurry people standing looking at the sea of ​​clouds. One looked up and drank wine, and the other had swords intertwined on his waist... …

After the little guy woke up, he was extremely happy. Even if it was just in a dream, it would be enough for him to be happy for many years. But for no reason, when he touched his face, his face was filled with tears.

It was lying in the pile of money, puzzled, and felt a little lost.

————

The four people in the picture, with their summer money worth a hundred pieces of snow, each gained something. Zhu Lian, who was originally alone, left the old Dragon City When I left Fengwei Ferry, I had an extra package on my back. This time I left Fengwei Ferry and the package was even heavier.

Now Zhu Lian considers himself a scholar, so of course he went on a study tour.

The four of them walked to the capital of Qingluan Kingdom and crossed the surrounding three countries. The year before last, a massive land and water dojo was opened in Qingluan Kingdom. It was personally organized by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The next year, Yunxiao Almost at the same time, the Qingshan Kingdom and the Qingshan Kingdom each held a Taoist Luotian Festival, dividing up all the Taoist gods and gods, and catching the Qingluan Kingdom off guard. The Tang Emperor kept doing it, We might as well hold a Buddhism-Taoism debate this spring, and choose one among Taoism and Buddhism to become the state religion of Qingluan Kingdom. The status will be higher than that of Confucianism. The one who loses will naturally be at the bottom.

So Chen Pingan believes that Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia will stay in the capital of Qingluan Kingdom at least this spring.

Probably due to its proximity to Fengwei Ferry and the many Taoist temples and scenic landscapes within its jurisdiction, Qingluan Kingdom, including the other three countries, does not belong to the kind of "lawless land" where spiritual energy is so thin that it is scarce. The Shushui Kingdom that Chen Pingan passed through at the beginning had a lot more spiritual energy. He was a pure martial artist at that time, and his feelings were not deep, and he only had a rough feeling. Now after refining the water seal as his natal object, he can slowly absorb the spiritual energy. , comparing the two, we discovered the mystery.

Among the countries in the central Aquarius Continent that Chen Pingan has traveled through, Caiyi Country has slightly more aura.

Regarding the Caiyi Kingdom, the talisman that Chen Ping'an now has in his square-cunwu still lives in a white-bones ghost with whom he signed a contract.

It’s just that Chen Ping’an didn’t like her. After arriving at Osmanthus Island, he never let her leave the strange talisman as her shelter.

But when we get to Luopo Mountain and release her later, there will be a mountain god sitting there overlooking the surrounding mountains and rivers. I believe it will also be a shock to the female ghost.

The orthodox landscape gods of the Great Li Dynasty are not comparable to any dynasty in Aquarius Continent. The gods of Great Li are naturally one level higher. This is the case now, and in the future... the current capital of half of the Aquarius Continent. It is already the possession of the Great Li Song family, and all it needs is the nod of approval from a certain Confucian school in the Middle Earth. Therefore, there will probably not be much difference between the gods of Great Li and the gods of Aquarius Continent in the future.

When I left the Fengwei Crossing border line, I found that travelers going in from the outside, whether they were Qi practitioners or martial artists, needed to hold a yellow paper talisman sold at the gate crossing. A rippling gate will appear for people to pass through. The talisman is somewhat similar to the customs clearance document of a secular dynasty. This is something new. This is the first time Chen Pingan has seen it. None of the other ferries have this toll. There is no need to use the customs clearance talisman to leave Fengwei Ferry. After walking out of the gate, Chen Pingan went to ask a five-level qi practitioner. The gatekeeper sincerely asked for advice. Seeing that Chen Pingan had a good demeanor and walked out of Fengwei Ferry, the man smiled and explained Chen Pingan's doubts. It turned out that Fengwei Ferry had a landscape formation jointly built by the Yin Yang family and the mechanism master. Method, the golden elixir earth immortal can walk in directly. Under the golden elixir, you need a customs clearance talisman worth five snow coins. Once you forcefully break in, you will alert the hunting people of Beetail Crossing. As for that talisman , is a side branch of the barrier-breaking talisman, and it is also the formation that Fengwei Du asked the immortal master of the Fulu Sect to tailor-make for this formation.

When Chen Pingan asked why there was no need for talismans to clear the way for other ferries, the Qi practitioner smiled playfully, stepped on the ground, and asked whose territory this was.

The direction of this gate is to the Qingluan Kingdom. Chen Pingan naturally answered that it was the Qingluan Tang Sect. There is a way to make money.

The capital of Qingluan Kingdom is more than 1,600 miles away from Fengweidu, and there are still more than two months until the debate on Buddhism and Taoism that started during the Grain Rain season, so there is no harm in walking there.

On the way, they saw large and small Taoist temples. None of the group could talk about how they believed in Buddhism. Offering three sticks of incense respectfully is just a courtesy to the gods. Wei Xian didn't believe this, so he usually didn't go in and just waited at the door. Zhu Lian didn't believe it either. He just accompanied Chen Ping'an and Pei Qian for a walk. Lu Baixiang had no choice but to go into the temple to burn incense. Worshiping the Bodhisattva is very pious, and on the right side of Sui is going to the temple to offer incense, which is also very sincere.

Chen Pingan reminded Pei Qian that it is okay to burn incense, but not to make wishes casually, let alone kowtow to the Bodhisattvas and gods in the temple and make wishes one by one.

But I also told Pei Qian that if he feels something in his heart one day, it will be really great.If you want to make a wish, then be serious about it and remember the content of your wish, as well as which temple and deity you are offering incense and kneeling to worship. Once your wish is fulfilled, no matter how far away you are, you must come back to fulfill your wish.

Seeing Chen Pingan's solemn expression when he spoke, Pei Qian was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a wish at all, just to burn incense, otherwise she would feel that she was not tired when she thought of coming from Longquan County to Qingluan Country to fulfill her wish. To die is to regret and cry half to death on the way.

And when she went in to kowtow and burn incense, Chen Ping'an had a rule, saying that the money for "inviting incense" could not be borrowed from others, and she had to pay for it herself.

Fortunately, along the way, Chen Ping'an asked Pei Qian to run errands several times. The skinny little girl got several coins. After converting them into copper coins, it was enough to pay incense at the Taoist temple.

Pei Qian does not think that Chen Pingan is stingy with these few copper coins.

She felt more and more that Chen Pingan was much more generous to her, the founding disciple, than to Lao Wei and the other four.

This made Pei Qian very happy.

At the time of the Waking of Insects, in the wilderness of a small county in Qingluan Country, even though they were more than a hundred miles away, Chen Pingan and his party felt the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, and dust flying in the distance, covering the sky. On the same day, there was a huge monster with a vague outline. It seemed to be suffering great pain. It roared up to the sky. For a while, countless forest birds flapped their wings and flew away.

Chen Ping'an thought for a while and asked Wei Xian and Sui Zuoyi to go and check it out first to see if any innocent people were hurt.

He himself has not yet fully recovered from his injuries, and he has to weigh the compatibility between water and fire between the acupoint lake that stores spiritual energy and a mouthful of pure true energy. Although the martial arts realm that is the bottleneck of the five realms is still there, But the real strength is only the level of cultivation in the four realms.

Wei Xian holds the Manna Armor Huashan in his hand, and Sui carries the Chixin Sword on his right side. The two of them are both offensive and defensive. Even if they encounter danger, it is not difficult to support each other and escape intact.

Chen Ping'an didn't deliberately speed up the pace. When Sui Youyou and Wei Xian returned, they said that there was the so-called Di Niu Qiu Bei, and a bunch of wild cultivators in the mountains and rivers somehow found this place dormant. Di Niu, who has been here for hundreds of years, wants to round him up and kill him to obtain the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of Di Niu's physical body. However, they were stopped by two troublesome people, a young Taoist priest with a mahogany sword and a bearded man with a knife. The two sides did not reach an agreement, so they started fighting. The strength of the two sides was very different. One side was surrounded and killed, and it was bound to win. Among them There is also a golden elixir monk who personally presides over the overall situation, and the ending is no suspense.

Chen Pingan slapped the sword gourd and jumped up high. The flying swords flew out of the sword gourd on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Chen Pingan stepped on the flying sword step by step, like an immortal riding the wind. Go away in a hurry.

The four people in the picture scroll looked at each other.

Pei Qian is holding a hiking pole and looking left and right, what’s going on?

Sui's right side flashed away.

Zhu Lian laughed loudly and rushed away, "It's great to have another fight!"

Wei Xian picked up Pei Qian on his back.

Lu Baixiang followed silently.

SomeIt's strange why Chen Ping'an is so gloomy.

Is there an acquaintance there?

But Chen Pingan, who comes from the Lizhu Cave and lives in Muping Lane, even if he is an acquaintance, shouldn’t he be the nine-level martial artist Zheng Dafeng, the ten-level grandmaster Li Er, the swordsman Cao Xi, Does Tianjun thank Shi and his ilk?

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a bit unreasonable in Chen Pingan’s hometown.

Even if an old monster from the Ascension Realm suddenly appears one day, Lu Baixiang and the other four people in the painting will not be too shocked now, but if a "minor character" from the Middle Fifth Realm suddenly appears, Saying that they are Chen Pingan's friends would make the four of them uncomfortable.

Even though Chen Ping'an had two flying swords to help him, he was injured after all, and the pure energy was somewhat hindered, so his speed was still roughly the same as the group on the right of Sui on the ground.

In a huge mountain col with countless rubbles, a yellow ground cow was seriously injured and had to reveal its true form, lying in a pool of blood.

In front of it stood a embarrassed young Taoist priest and a bearded hero, back to back, surrounded by more than twenty Qi practitioners and a pack of wolves.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a young man who didn’t know whether he came with a wind or a sword, dressed in white, appeared like a true immortal.

I saw the white-clothed immortal master falling sharply and floating to the ground. After five or six steps, he walked up to the two people and raised his palms to them with a smile.

The young Taoist priest and the bearded swordsman were stunned, in disbelief. The young Taoist even rubbed his eyes, and then a smile rippled in the Taoist priest's clear eyes.

The young Taoist priest and the bearded hero each stretched out a palm and gave the young immortal master a high-five. There was no trace of depression in their expressions. The two of them were in high spirits and were very happy.

Chen Pingan looked at the two of them. His eyes at this moment were probably brighter than Pei Qian, who had the sun and moon in his eyes. He held the hands of his two friends and laughed: "I knew it! Only my two friends, Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia, ​​are willing to do such a thankless thing!"
