Chapter 399 Gift

There was a farce on the bow, with heavy thunder and little rain.

Because the sword cultivator used two natal flying swords, and they were abnormal, but there was no blood in the end?

The spectators found it not very enjoyable.

The ferry carried a small number of two hundred people, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. For the Qingluan people, whether it was the genealogy master traveling down the mountain, the mountain wild cultivator running for profit, or the family members It is not uncommon for dignitaries to expand their horizons and take the Xianjia ferry. Picturesque scenery such as rolling clouds and soaring cranes is just the same after seeing it too much. It is not as refreshing as witnessing this kind of conflict with your own eyes. Each held their own opinions. Compared with the two parties, one was calm and the other was hiding his head. They chatted very energetically and had mixed opinions. In the end, they roughly reached an agreement. They both felt that the young swordsman was too domineering. It's a trivial matter, why do you hurt someone? You can solve it by showing your identity as a swordsman. If you have to kick the man to the ground, what is it if you don't use your power to bully others?

There was only a little girl who was taken by her parents to travel through mountains and rivers. She said something ignorant, wasn’t it the guy who was beaten who was at fault first?

The nearby adults who were watching and talking about the excitement, as well as her parents who were very well-matched among the Qingluan Kingdom clan, all pretended not to hear the child's innocent words. Continue to speculate on the origin of the young swordsman. Did he come from Li Tuanjing's Fenglei Garden? Or Zhengyang Mountain with sword energy rising into the sky? Or they were sarcastic, saying that this legendary swordsman was amazing, he was young and had a really bad temper. He might one day encounter an even more unreasonable Earth Immortal, and sooner or later he would suffer.

The little girl said timidly, if the big brother wearing a white robe and a sword on his back didn't have the ability to stand by him, wouldn't he have been bullied by that large group of people?

Adults still ignore a child’s naive views. What can a big kid understand?

No one paid attention to her, and the little girl was a little angry. She ran to a place near the bow railing where there were few people, stood on tiptoes and looked out. Those clouds were like the biggest marshmallows in the world. Seeing that she was greedy, she stretched out her hand and made a few grabbing gestures, then stuffed it into her mouth, patted her belly, and was satisfied, so she stopped sulking with the adults. She actually really wanted to play with that peer who looked like Xiao Heitan, but she was not very embarrassed at that time, and her parents had told her that she couldn't be as casual as she was at home on this ship. Later, she came out She would not dare to get close to such a big thing.

The little girl suddenly discovered that the man beside the railing not far away was particularly good-looking. Compared with the big brother who was protecting the Heitan girl before, he was more in line with the Yushu Linfeng mentioned in the book.

The man was about thirty years old, but his whole person still gave people a vague impression of being young and energetic.

He turned to look at her, and the little girl quickly turned her head and pretended to enjoy the scenery.

The man smiled and imitated the little girl, reaching out to explore a floating white cloud shaped like a mountain near the ferry. Then the snow-white mountain swayed slightly, and then there wasA white thread shining under the sun swam into the man's hand, and was kneaded into a ball of thread by his hands. He smiled and stretched it out to the little girl, as if asking if he wanted to try it. The little girl shook her head vigorously. The man threw it into his mouth.

The little girl was so impressed that she opened her mouth wide in admiration.

He is a good-looking god.

The man was lying on the railing, doing nothing.

This time he took leave to go out, not only to relax, but also to get a closer look at the young man who was most likely from the same family as Fa Chu.

He is Wei Liang, the governor of Qingluan Kingdom.

Not only was he the Earth Immortal monk who set up a bureau to encircle scalpers and trap and kill wild cultivators, he was also the gatekeeper of the capital for this debate on Buddhism and Taoism in Qingluan Kingdom.

The debate between Buddhism and Taoism has not really come to an end, so Wei Liang, the governor who is older than Zuo of Qingluan Kingdom, the right-hand man of the founding emperor of Qingluan Kingdom, and the number one adviser in the past, this time His Majesty, the current emperor, resigned. No matter how reluctant Tang Li was, there was no Wei Liang in charge of the capital. The situation in Qingluan Kingdom was extremely complicated now, and there were tigers and wolves on both sides of the bed, but the Tang Emperor still had no choice but to agree.

After the founding of the Qingluan Kingdom, Emperor Taizu built attics and hung portraits for the twenty-four founding heroes. "Wei Qian" was not ranked highly, but the grandchildren of the other twenty-three civil servants and generals were all He died, and Wei Qian just changed his name to Wei Liang.

This Xianjia ferry named "Qingyi" looks similar to the warships of the secular dynasty on those huge lakes and rivers. It is not fast and will take detours in order to accommodate half of the ferry passengers. Go to those famous immortal mountains to have fun, go to a fishing platform high above the sea of ​​clouds, use fishing rods specially made from rare trees, and fish for birds and flying fish worth thousands of gold; go to the top of a mountain with many inns Appreciate the magnificent scene of sunrise and sunset; go to a certain fairy sect to pay a large sum of money to buy seeds, and then hand them over to the farmer monks to cultivate and plant pots of exotic flowers and herbs. After getting them back, should you put them in your own courtyard for appreciation, or for official bribery? , all OK. There are also some mountaintops where some mountain birds and beasts are deliberately raised. There will be monks responsible for taking wealthy people who like hunting to accompany them all the way up the mountains and into the water, and "risk" to capture them.

In the years when Qingluan was full of national flowers, Wei Liang was actually always alone.

In the Governor's Mansion, every time the wife of the Ming Dynasty is just a cover, she has no heirs.

In a daze, it’s been so many years.

Wei Liang knelt down and said with a smile: "Little girl, what is your name?"

The little girl hesitated and said, "My name is Yuan Yanxu."

Wei Liang nodded and said: "Words must have context and sequence. It seems that there are elders in your family who were admirers of the Tongcheng School's theory of justice. This line of knowledge has been silent for many years, so I guess It shouldn’t be your father who named him, but your grandfather, right?”

The little girl’s eyes widened and she admired this man even more. Can you guess this?

Wei Liang smiled and asked: "Let's talk?"

The little girl ran a few steps and squatted next to him, "Sir, please tell me, I'll listen."

In the distance, the little girl's mother looked worried and was about to take her daughter away. Back to you.

The woman's husband, an elegant middle-aged scribe, also had the same plan. There was no simple person on the Xian family ferry.

But the old guest from the family who was accompanying them shook his head at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and said softly: "Maybe it's an immortal opportunity. We'd better wait and see what happens."

The couple felt a little relieved and at the same time looked forward to it.

Wei Liang simply sat cross-legged, with his hands on his knees, and the Xianjia ferry sailed into a sea of ​​clouds. Outside the railing, it looked like a long snow-white river, becoming a veritable ferry.

Wei Liang first asked the little girl Yuan Yanxu what he thought about the previous incident, and the little girl expressed her thoughts.

Seeing this immortal gentleman nodding, Yuan Yanxu felt a little happy, finally having someone who recognized his opinion.

Wei Liang said slowly: "Children like you who are not familiar with the world are all...how to put it, it is like the most beautiful but the most fragile porcelain. The future will be the beginning of elegance. Whether the school is still a broken pot by the well depends on whether it is taught well. If it is taught well, the shape will be straight; if it is not taught well, it will be crooked."

"Teaching by words and deeds, the latter is more important. , words are false, teaching by example is true, because children may not understand the truths of adults, but they are the most curious about the world. It is difficult for children to hear the truth in their ears and pretend to be truthful. Children see more in their eyes. , it is easier to remember the general appearance of this world. It is relatively simple and clear in black and white. It is immature but especially valuable. If it continues so imperceptibly, you will not even realize it. Bit by bit, year by month, the world in your mind will be finalized. It’s difficult to change.”

“So many of the inexplicable actions that seem to go against other people’s impressions when you grow up are actually traceable at a critical moment when your parents are shaping your character. Your words and deeds are very important. A reprimand that doesn't mean anything when you do something wrong, or if you do something wrong, you simply think that your child is too young and choose to turn a blind eye. In the end, you end up harming others, yourself and your children. Therefore, rewards and punishments must be clearly defined, and parents must learn to set rules for their children. Benevolence and justice are the foundation of justice, and punishment is the end of justice."

Wei Liang spoke slowly and calmly.

The little girl listened carefully and blinked occasionally.

Wei Liang continued: "So when they are young, parents teach their children benevolence and righteousness by example. When they are a little older, Mr. Xuexu teaches his disciples the benevolence and righteousness in books. The two complement each other, the former teaches the truth, and the latter "Teaching from a higher place is indispensable, and it is impossible to undermine each other."

The little girl remained silent, not knowing whether she understood or not.

But when others are talking, the little girl still understands if she listens carefully and does not interrupt.

Wei Liang turned around and asked with a smile: "Do you know someone who is more willing to listen to reason?"

The little girl shook her head.head.

Wei Liang asked and answered himself, "In the beginning, children listen to their parents. Then students listen to their teachers. When they grow up, the weak listen to the strong, the poor listen to the rich, and the ministers listen to the king. It is also like listening to the mountain. On the mountain, on the mountain, listen to the mountain. So the question is, what if the strong people say something wrong, but the weak people firmly believe in all the words and principles of the strong people? Morality and justice are no longer effective, and there needs to be a law. There is something that is more awe-inspiring than all the fairy magic on the mountain. It makes the so-called strong people restrain their hands and makes these people fear the reprimands of their parents like children who make mistakes. It is like the feather duster and ruler of the teacher. He would hit it on the palm of his hand immediately, knowing it hurts."

Wei Liang smiled brightly, "You don't understand, right?"

Of course she didn't understand, and her little mind was confused. Wei Liang laughed and said, "You actually heard it, you just don't understand it for the time being, but you put it all into your heart, and you are better than many adults." , they often just learn some smart ways to deal with people after suffering losses. Little girl, although your cultivation qualifications are average, your family is well off now, and you don’t have to worry about food and clothing. It’s unlikely that your character will change drastically. It’s better to marry again in the future. Man, you won't be any worse in this life."

Yuan Yanxue is a little shy.

Marrying is something I have played with my peers when playing house. Every time, I would find a piece of red satin and cover it on the "bride's" head. If the "husband" is next door She would smile more if it were the little nerd in the Liu family, but she wouldn't be willing to laugh if it was the chubby little guy in the Ma family.

Wei Liang held out a finger and said, "Because you are so smart and sensible, remember one thing. When you grow up, if you encounter a situation that you feel your family cannot handle, If it's a big crisis, remember to go to the Governor's Mansion in the south of the capital and find a man named Wei Liang. Well, if it's urgent, you can just send him a letter."

Yuan Yanxu said timidly: "Sir, that will happen many years later, should we forget it?"

Wei Liang shook his head and smiled: "But you can't think so, time is like water, and in the blink of an eye, you will grow up , one more blink of an eye..."

He might have died of old age.

It was just such inappropriate words that Wei Liang did not say.

Wei Liang smiled and said: "If a good person is bullied by others, why don't you be a good person? Evil people can only be punished by evil people, so why do you want to be a bad person? A gentleman can bully others, so I think it is right to bully a gentleman. Isn’t that right?”

“It’s just too complicated to talk about the good and evil of people. Even if you decide what is right and what is wrong, how to deal with it is still a huge problem, just like the incident on the ferry today. , if the young man carrying the sword patiently tries to reason with that group of people, will they listen? If he says it, will he agree with it in his heart? Because that group of people is not willing to listen? The real truth lies in the current situation. The two sides have parted ways. Once the situation is gone, it is easy to change the situation, but it is difficult to change the nature. Maybe it is better to sit down as usual.It's easy to explain the truth, but it makes me feel so smelly... Forget it, let's not talk about this, it's more comfortable for us to look at the sea of ​​clouds. ”

These are actually more of Wei Liang’s words to himself, and I don’t expect the little girl to understand them.

In fact, if it were replaced by the parents of Yuanyan Preface, Listening is also useless. It’s not that I don’t understand, but I feel that the world is like this, and talking about these things is not as practical as talking about mysteries thousands of miles away.

Wei Liang had already done this more than two hundred years ago. He was an Earth Immortal, but in order to promote his own knowledge, he planned to use the changes in the local customs of a country as an opportunity for him to realize and observe Taoism. So at that time, he changed his name to "Wei Qian" and came to the southeast of Aquarius Continent. He helped the founding ancestor of the Tang family in Qingluan Kingdom, and then assisted generations of Tang emperors to legislate. Before this debate on Buddhism and Taoism, Wei Liang had never targeted temple officials and practitioners as an earthly immortal monk.

Not to mention the hard work, the progress was slow, and even during the two emperors, there was a long way to go.

This made Wei Liang very disappointed.

Wei Liang finally left with a smile, but only reminded the little girl to keep the matter of the letter and the Governor's Mansion a secret.

Yuan Yanxu's parents and family guests were with Wei Liang. After disappearing, he came to the little girl and began to ask about the details of the conversation.

The little girl did not dare to hide it, but at first she wanted to keep it secret and promised the gentleman not to tell the story about the Governor's Mansion and the letter.

I just accidentally let it slip, and the old gentleman who was a guest of the family caught the clues. He looked warm but hid secrets in the interrogation. Yuan Yanxu struggled for a long time, but couldn't resist the earnest questioning of his parents, so he had to

The old guest was very happy and whispered to the middle-aged Confucian scholar, saying that the man must be the monk who worshiped the great governor!

Blessed are the Yuan family!

The old guest of the Yuan family also told the Confucian scholar that the temperaments of these mountain gods are unpredictable and cannot be guessed by common sense, so they must not add any unnecessary extravagances, such as visiting and thanking others. If nothing else, the Yuan family should just pretend they don’t know anything.

The couple were extremely excited.

Only the little girl felt guilty about the fairy gentleman and squatted down. At the railing, Wei Liang felt a little disappointed.

Wei Liang sighed as he walked away. There is no surprise. From now on, if the Yuan family, which is only considered a second-rate family in the capital of Qingluan Kingdom, encounters trouble, even if the letter cannot be sent to the governor's house, Wei Liang will still help him.

However. The little girl named Yuan Yanxu has lost an opportunity to embark on the path of spiritual practice.

But Wei Liang also knew that this was not necessarily a bad thing for Yuan Yanxu. .

It is not easy to find stability in this world.

It is hard to go to the mountains to practice Taoism and become a Qi practitioner. Once you start to struggle with God., not to mention the good and evil of human nature, as long as the mind is not strong, it is often difficult to end well.

————

Chen Pingan took Pei Qian’s hand back to the ferry room.

Pei Qian said for the first time that he would copy 500 more words today.

Chen Pingan did not stop me, but just reminded me that what I wrote today cannot be counted as tomorrow’s.

Pei Qian puffed up his chest and said of course.

While copying books, she kept a small yellow-skinned gourd at hand.

Chen Pingan sat across the table and continued to look through a Legalist book that he bought after being reminded by Cui Dongshan. It was not a rare book, but it was the kind of book that supported the three religions and hundreds of schools of thought. " As one of the "serious" books, Lu Tai gave Chen Ping'an some advice about studying, and Chen Ping'an kept it in mind. For example, the method of reading books first and then the thin, as well as "following the clues to find relatives", and the secret of choosing books. Regardless of the diverse knowledge of various schools of thought, the vast number of books, and the endless sea of ​​books, in fact, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the most widely circulated books. Regarding the Three Teachings, we really need books that can be worthy of the four words "opening a book is beneficial". The total number of books should not exceed fifty. All ordinary people in the world who are seventy years old and seventy years old can read them carefully and repeatedly.

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

So the three Legalist classics selected by Chen Pingan were just to ensure that the engravings were correct.

What made Pei Qian most gratified about what happened today was what Chen Pingan and Pei Qian said before, "from the heart."

If you do something wrong, apologize sincerely first.

Then Pei Qian today is completely different from the Pei Qian he first met in Ouhua Blessed Land. For example, from the turmoil to the turmoil, Pei Qian's only thought was to copy books.

Instead of turning around and cursing that group of people for a bad death or something like that.

Chen Pingan asked: "Pei Qian, you held down that guy's head and almost threw you out. Aren't you angry?"

"Angry. This is not on the way here. , I cursed them to death in my stomach, the eight bad guys, each of them died in a different way. For example, the guy who was taught a lesson by his master accidentally sprained his foot when he went out, fell off the ferry, and fell. She was a mess. According to the facial description given to me by the old cook, that stinky bitch was called Wocanhouhouerguzhe. She suddenly got into an argument with someone, and then she was slapped on the left and right, and finally she was beaten until her teeth were broken. No, haha, there is also the one with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. His stomach was broken after eating, and there was no doctor to treat him on the ferry. He was rolling on the ground and howling..."

Pei Qian was busy concentrating on copying books, and he accidentally died After saying what was in his heart, he suddenly woke up and said with a grimace, "Master, knock chestnuts or pull ears, it depends."

Chen Pingan was not very angry and asked with a smile: "Then what if... "

Pei Qian seemed to know what Chen Pingan was going to ask. He straightened his back and said, "Master, don't worry. I just want to think about it to make myself happy. Even if I succeed one day, With peerless swordsmanship and invincible boxing skills, if you encounter these guys, you won't really do anything to them. At most, just like the master, kick them!One kick. "

Chen Pingan asked curiously: "Why? "

Pei Qian said with a righteous look on his face, "I am your disciple, master, and the founding disciple! If I'm just like them, wouldn't it bring shame on Master? Besides, what a big deal, I was beaten and kicked so many times when I was a child. Now I am a rich man, and I am still half a gangster, so I am very generous! "

Zhu Lian just pushed in the door with Shi Rou and extended his thumb, "Nvxia Pei's flattery skills are becoming more and more proficient. "

Pei Qian continued to immerse herself in copying books. She was in a very good mood today, and she was not as experienced as the old cook.

Chen Pingan said to Zhu Lian: "The group will definitely do it later. Come to apologize, help me stop them and tell them to get out. "

Pei Qian suddenly asked: "Master, why don't you see me and talk to them about the truth? "

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "You know nothing. ”

For the first time, Pei Qian didn’t talk back and grinned.

Last time on the way out of the Lion Garden, she caught Zhu Lian and Shi Rou guessing, so old cook, you She really knows nothing.

Zhu Lian stood next to Pei Qian and watched her copy the book. She probably learned her writing style from Chen Pingan, and her writing was barely correct now.

While watching her meticulous writing, Zhu Lian said: "Young master, if you talk to such people carefully, they will definitely be convinced in person, and they will say nonsense that they will never do again in the future. Turn around, rub your nose and face, maybe you will be proud of it, tell everyone you meet that you are not acquainted with the young master, get off the boat, continue to mix with them, and you will be able to have a ferryman. How can I not be feared by my proven sword cultivator friend? Do you think it is a trivial matter? "

Pei Qian raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Why are we friends? Aren't we enemies with them? "

Zhu Lian sat aside and said calmly: "We know, Jianghu doesn't know. "

Pei Qian stopped writing and was so angry that she slapped the table with her other hand, "Why are Jianghu acting like this!

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Copy the book carefully and try to finish it in one go. It's best not to dawdle in the middle." ”

Pei Qian said oh and continued to copy the book.

As expected.

There was a burst of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, most of which were pure from the third and fourth realms. There is only one martial artist in the fifth realm.

He started knocking on the door.

After Zhu Lian opened the door, he kicked him out and said, "Don't come here to disturb the purity of my young master. , if they are an eyesore again, I will beat them to death. ”

The group of people trembled, bowed their heads, and left in a swarm.

In this corridor, almost half of the nearby rooms were open, and they were all curious about what would happen next. The blood splattered three feet, which is what the book calls a good talk.

The result was such a scene that everyone found it a bit boring. I'd feel better if it really happened to those reckless men.It was a blessing in disguise that they had attached themselves to such a bottomless young swordsman, and they couldn't help but be jealous to death.

Looking at Chen Pingan, who was quietly watching Pei Qian copy the book, making sure there were no mistakes in each stroke.

Shi Rou suddenly felt that hundreds of years of his life as a ghost had all lived on the dog.

Isn’t he still twenty years old?

You shouldn’t be able to see so clearly into the nuances of people’s hearts.

Chen Pingan suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile: "You have been looking at me for a long time, what are you doing?"

Shi Rou was a little shy and shook his head.

Seeing Chen Ping'an's expression was strange, Shi Rou was afraid that he had gone astray and mistakenly thought that she had some evil thoughts. Shi Rou became more and more uncomfortable, stood up suddenly, twisted her waist, and left.

Chen Pingan was confused.

He just felt like being stared at by a "Du Mao" gave him goosebumps.

Zhu Lian gloated: "The young master is really a dragon and a phoenix among men. If any woman in the world meets a person like the young master, won't she miss her life?"

Chen Ping'an sighed. , "Zhu Lian, sometimes your flattery is not as pleasant as Pei Qian's."

Zhu Lian chuckled and said: "After all, Pei Qian is gifted with flattery, and I just work hard." "

Pei Qian copied the book without raising his head, but said angrily: "Old cook, wait, when I finish copying the book, there are still 125 words left. You'll be in trouble."

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "Are you comparing me to eating shit, or are you comparing me to swearing?"

Chen Ping'an couldn't stand it anymore. Simply take out the priceless Day and Night Wandering God True Amulet and the jade pendant with the Dragon Palace inscribed on it.

Because Li Baozhen "opened the door" and Chen Pingan didn't know how to close the door, the two of them have been losing spiritual energy, but compared to the abundant spiritual energy of the talisman and the jade pendant, it is almost negligible.

For example, in the reed lake outside the Lion Garden, someone used a hoe to dig out a small ditch to release water.

This highlights the fatal flaw of pure martial arts symbols.

A burning fire cooks oil, just like the four seasons, never waiting for the season.

A thin stream of water flows like a fairy cave, evergreen all year round.

Zhu Lian clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "The jade pendant is not famous, but this precious talisman of the second son of the Li family should be regarded as...a magic weapon among the magic weapons of the Immortal family?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "The talisman lineage is a major lineage of Taoism. The ever-changing changes are all divine secrets. Once used proficiently, it is enough to allow monks to run rampant in all directions. Even against the swordsman who earns the most money and has the greatest killing power, he will still have a way to deal with it. Characters and sword-locking talismans can be used against them, which is quite good compared to other Qi practitioners who are afraid of swordsmen like tigers. Not to mention that they can kill ghosts and gods, so most monks will carry a few talismans with them in preparation. For emergencies, as for the quantity and quality, it all depends on their respective pockets."

I found Zhu Lian looking at me.

Lion Park 1During the battle, in addition to using gold paint to draw talismans, Chen Pingan also took out a large number of high-grade and rare talismans.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "The story here will be discussed when we get to Luolu Mountain in Longquan County. Then we will give you and Pei money. In short, this is almost the reason why I didn't kill Li Baozhen."

Zhu Lian asked no more questions and rubbed his hands, "Master, give me a chance to punch?"

Chen Pingan nodded and stood up, "This time you strike harder, don't worry about me. Can you handle it? You, Zhu Lian, don’t know how I punched people back then. Only after seeing it did I know that Zheng Dafeng was punching you at the old Longcheng drug store. It’s really... Well, if you follow your Zhu The saying of Lian is that a man paints a woman's eyebrows with a gentle technique."

Zhu Lian said with a smile: "This is a good thing. At that time, I didn't feel comfortable enough, but with Sui Zui around, I couldn't do it. I’m sorry to say anything more.”

Pei Qian has finished copying the book.

Chen Pingan said: "Go back to your room, otherwise you will definitely make a fuss and scream."

Pei Qian assured loudly: "No!"

Chen Pingan first took out a talisman to remove dirt and posted it in the room.

After burning the incense, Pei Qian was sweating profusely and frightened just by watching the two people compete. In the end, he simply ran to the corner, went through Chen Ping'an's bamboo box, and took out his treasure box.

If she had to practice boxing and martial arts like this in order to become the peerless master in her mind, Pei Qian would definitely pretend that the world does not exist. There are no such things in the world. He would just read the stories in the book. .

Chen Pingan wears a golden robe, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Sit back at the table with Zhu Lian, take out a pot of rime wine bought from the capital of Qingluan Kingdom, and pour a glass for Zhu Lian.

Zhu Lian drank it all in one gulp, instead of Chen Ping'an pouring the wine, he took the jug and filled it up for himself.

Pei Qian reminded: "Old cook, drink less. Too much wine will harm your health. Besides, a pot of rime wine costs three taels of silver."

Zhu Lian He started to drink slowly and asked in a low voice: "When will the young master break through the bottleneck and reach the sixth realm?"

Chen Pingan had already made up his mind and said, "Just wait a little longer, there will be an opportunity. You can strive for it."

Chen Pingan did not elaborate on what opportunity was. After all, the word "strongest" is more elusive than a country's military destiny that can be manifested into weather.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I don't dare to try my luck in the shattered secret realms of Cave Heaven and Paradise, seize opportunities and magic weapons, and hope to find various immortal inheritances and relics."

But relying on the foundation of martial arts accumulated with each punch, Chen Pingan felt that there was no harm in giving it a try.

However, Chen Pingan also knew that as long as Cao Ci stayed in the Fifth Realm, there would be no hope for anyone, let alone Chen Pingan.

The eldest Sword Immortal has personally said that Cao Ci’s martial arts training has surpassed many martial artists of his generation, and he will be the strongest in the world in every realm.

At that time, Ning Yao was not convinced and saidEven though Master Cao Ci is the number one martial artist in the four worlds, martial arts can also be manifested concretely, but the world is huge and unexpected events happen every day. How come Cao Ci must be the strongest? Is it possible that Cao Ci's ancestors had been running shops for generations, and his family was the only one that had a monopoly on martial arts in the world?

Chen Qingdu said something that impressed Chen Pingan deeply.

"Cao Ci is so strong, from his bones, talent, temperament, and martial arts, it's all the same. There is no reason to explain."

Chen Ping'an had just joined forces at that time. He didn't think it was a big deal after losing three games to Cao Ci, but Ning Yao was already extremely angry.

Chen Pingan felt very happy to see Ning Yao like that, but Ning Yao became even more angry when he saw him like this.

At this moment, Zhu Lian subconsciously blurted out: "The young master is a man of great fortune, how can he possibly return empty-handed after entering the treasure mountain? Now that the old slave is in the golden body state, he will not be afraid of the broken cave heaven and blessed land. I also have some understanding of the secret realm, and I know that monks in the upper five realms cannot enter it. Once they enter the secret realm, it will be unstable and prone to collapse. It is easy to be entangled in the chaotic river of time, which will seriously weaken the monks in the upper five realms. He secretly covets me and has an old slave to help him, so now the young master can try his luck. If he encounters a situation like this next time, the young master will not let him take the old slave with him. After all, we are pure martial arts. It doesn’t matter. Subject to such constraints."

Chen Pingan thought for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense. I am used to avoiding these. Now it seems that I have to change my past mentality."

Zhu Lian was slightly thoughtful.

The time on this Xianjia ferry passed by slowly.

Many landscape-shaped scenic spots with signs of Xianjiadongfu on the mountains cannot build a Xianjia ferry that requires a steady stream of fairy money, so this ferry cannot "land", but prepare it early. Some fairy boats that can float in the air and ride the wind take the guests arriving on the ferry to their destinations and send them to the small ferries on the hills. Passing by the famous Diaoyutai located in the northern border of Qingluan Kingdom, there were especially many people disembarking from the boat. Chen Pingan and Pei Qianzhu Lian came to the bow of the boat and saw a huge sea of ​​clouds drifting between the two towering mountains. The two Diaoyutais, which flow like streams and face each other on the left and right, are built on the top of the mountain beside the sea of ​​clouds. From time to time, you can see colorful birds fluttering their wings and breaking through the sea of ​​clouds, then arcing and falling into the sea of ​​clouds.

Pei Qian was so fascinated by what he saw that he only regretted that he could not ride against the wind, otherwise he would have swooped over, held a hiking stick in his hand, knocked the birds and flying fish with the stick, caught them, and ran back to the ferry. , she should be able to sell it for a lot of money. Maybe if she makes a few more trips, she can buy a multi-treasure box or even a multi-treasure shelf.

Zhu Lian is an eighth-level martial artist, but he has always followed Chen Pingan on foot and has never experienced traveling far away from the wind.

Chen Pingan asked curiously: "Zhu Lian, don't you have any ideas? Don't you feel that you are unfair to your own level?"

Zhu Lian shook his head and smiled: "Master,The old slave in his hometown has long been tired of the startled looks from others, and he really can't afford to be so stunned and youthful. ”

Shi Rou was silently admiring the scenery.

She had become accustomed to Zhu Lian’s ideas that were very different from ordinary people.

— ———

While Chen Pingan and his party were enjoying the scenery,

Wei Liang was sitting at a desk in a room, writing something with an antique red sandalwood in his hand. The wooden box was filled with paper knives "a gentleman's weapon".

He took out a bamboo carving knife and used it as a paperweight.

Although Wei Liang left the capital. , I used it as a reason to travel around to relax, but in fact I was doing the same thing along the way.

The relationship with Qingluan Country is not big, not small.

Wei Liang formulated a first draft framework for the nine-rank system.

For the first level, only the Immortal Realm among the five upper realms of Aquarius Continent can be included in this list.

The second level, for the Yupu Realm among the upper five realms. The Song clan's cavalry went south and established the third level, Yuan Ying Realm.

The fourth level. Golden elixir realm.

Go down gradually, until the ninth level at the end.

The specific division is not absolutely related to the realm of Qi practitioners, so you need to refer to it. The Great Li court, especially the military, recorded the achievements of the monks during Ma Tu's journey south.

Among them, Ruan Qiong of the Longquan Sword Sect was not only the first person in the second rank, but also the future. The Immortal Genealogy, which will be regarded as the record of merit by the Song family of Dali, currently ranks first.

In addition, there are two ancestral palaces of the military family, Zhenwu Mountain and Fengxue Temple, as well as Fenglei Garden and Zhengyang Mountain.

Further down, there are Dali Changchun Palace, Yunxia Mountain, Qingfeng City and the likes of Xu.

They all need one or two spots, and they are sure to win. This score, and the rank will definitely not be low.

As for the monks who have the Peace and Nothingness Card issued by the Ministry of Punishment of Dali, they will definitely be among the first to surrender to Dali. Immortal masters, regardless of origin, genealogical masters, and wild cultivators in Shanze, can be among them.

Wei Liang has been perfecting the details recently.

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

This requires that person to provide him with a lot of intelligence, even insider information about the life and death of a country's emperor and his country.

Wei Liang placed the brush in his hand on Bijia Mountain. He stood up and walked slowly in the room.

The reason why he was willing to do this was not because Wei Liang was forced to take refuge in the embroidered tiger. Liang's temper, if Cui Zhang can't convince himself, he, Wei Liang, can abandon the Qingluan Kingdom for more than two hundred years and start a new venture in another continent, such as the even more lawless Juluzhou, such asTongyezhou, which has a relatively stable structure, has the foundation of Qingluan Kingdom, which is nothing more than another hundred or two hundred years of work.

But this time Cui Han came to Qingluan Kingdom in person, and the first person he found was Wei Liang. Cui Chan had a frank conversation with him. After Wei Liang learned about the Great Li State Master and the established national policy direction of the Great Li Dynasty, Wei Liang decided to cooperate.

Cooperation, not surrender.

Wei Liang did not compromise or bargain, and Cui Chan also had no doubts about this.

It is undeniable that what Cui Chan wants is more profound than Wei Liang, so Wei Liang is looking forward to the scene Cui Chan mentioned appearing in front of him one day.

"Engrave the inscription on the seal of the Dali Kingdom and erect it on the top of the mountains of Aquarius Continent!"

Wei Liang came to the window, his eyes were burning, and his heart was filled with pride.

It is even better than the billowing sea of ​​clouds flowing in the two mountains at your feet.

A man should do this so that he can live up to his journey in this life and live up to what he has learned!

————

Chen Pingan has taken three cross-continental ferries. He knew that the ferry "Tsing Yi" was inherently slow, so he never thought of taking many detours and deliberately took the "Tsing Yi" ferry. After sailing along the northeastern and northern borders of Qingluan Kingdom, I put down several groups of passengers and finally left the territory of Qingluan Kingdom. I thought I could go faster, so I stopped in a vassal state in the north of Yunxiao Kingdom, and finally decided to stay today At noon, the small country's Zhongyue is suspended in the sky. It is said that it will set sail at dusk tomorrow. Guests can go to that Zhongyue to enjoy the scenery, especially since it coincides with the stone gambling four times a year. If you have the opportunity, be sure to take advantage of it. Betting on Yiqing is a good thing if you get lucky. The lighting stone in the middle mountain of Chengtian Kingdom is known as "Little Yunxia Mountain". Once the bet is right, it will be sold at a low price with just a few snowflakes. As long as the fine lamp stone marrow is the size of a fist, it is a great thing to get rich overnight. Ten years ago, a Shanze wild cultivator used the only twenty-six snow coins left on his body to buy a piece of unmanned stone. After looking at a lamp-fire stone the size of a stone pier, I found a lamp-fire stone marrow worth thirty Xiaoshu coins, which was as red as a flame.

Of course, if ferry passengers do not want to disembark, they can stay on the ferry "Tsing Yi" to rest.

After hearing the explanation of the ferry maid, Chen Pingan was speechless for a moment. After the maid left, Chen Pingan walked to the window and glanced at the so-called One Country Mountain not far away. , dumbfounded.

Speaking of Zhongyue, not to mention comparable to the Piyun Mountain in his hometown, even the Luoluo Mountain that belongs to Chen Pingan is much more majestic than this mountain.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to take the three of them to get off the boat, waiting for the boats to come and go, taking them to the "big mountain" in the Chengtian Kingdom.

Chen Ping'an knew with all his ass that the god of Zhongyue and the owner of the "Tsing Yi" ferry were mutually beneficial business partners.

While Chen Ping'an and the others were waiting for the boat to pick them up, the surrounding passengers subconsciously moved out of the way, but they did not openly point fingers and could not avoid whispering.

The previous oneThe people who had suffered losses in the hands of the "young sword cultivator" had already disembarked from the ship in despair after coming to apologize to no avail, and did not dare to stay for a long time.

Everyone has different mentality.

No matter how old or young the Genealogy Immortal Master is, most of them are jealous of Chen Pingan, who has two natal flying swords. They just hide it very well.

The wild cultivator in the mountains is extremely afraid.

Most of the worldly rich people, after experiencing the exaggerated comments from people on the ferry, felt that the sword cultivator was indeed as arrogant and domineering as the legend said.

Only the ferry side has been very respectful to Chen Ping'an and his party recently. They specially selected a pretty woman to knock on the door from time to time and bring a plate of fruits and vegetables from the fairy family.

There is also a small attic on the ferry called "Xianqi Zhai", which is specially designed for some distinguished guests who took the Tsing Yi ferry to leave a calligraphy treasure.

Chen Pingan declined, and just asked Zhu Lian to deal with it and write a word.

Taking a skiing boat with seals engraved on the bottom and golden light flowing, we arrived at the foot of Zhongyue.

There are not many real pilgrims. At present, most of them are the rich and powerful children of Chengtian Kingdom and wealthy people who come here to gamble on stones.

It’s just that these people who were accustomed to having their nostrils turned upward in the secular dynasty walked and spoke in a much lower voice than usual when they met the passengers coming off the boat.

On the ferry, there were three incense sellers belonging to different temples in Zhongyue. They almost got into a fight in order to compete for customers. The incense seller from Zhongyue Temple was the most grumpy. Although the incense sellers from Taoist temples and temples at the foot of the mountain seemed to be avoiding their sharp edges, their words were flying wildly. Anyway, the three of them showed their talents and gained something. This time they took a small boat to board the boat to attract tourists, and they all brought some useful information. Passengers who wish to burn incense disembark together.

The ferry steward made a special trip to lead the incense deliverer from the Zhongyue Mountain Temple to Chen Pingan and his party, and introduced him.

When the man heard that Chen Pingan had no intention of inviting incense for the time being, he still smiled at him and said a lot of polite words, such as Mr. Chen's arrival, which would be very impressive.

When Chen Pingan's feet landed on the ground, the incense seller who was still on the ferry stood by the railing and spat outside.

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "What do you say, young master? Why don't I give this warrior a reward for riding the wind for the first time?"

Chen Pingan waved his hand, " Maybe this is the only time in our lives that we will meet each other without any grudges, why should we care about this?"

Pei Qian asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Lian said with a smile. : "Someone is shitting and peeing on top of your head. Look up."

Pei Qian rolled his eyes.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a long street dedicated to stone gambling, with dozens of shops of various sizes.

There are piles of gray lighting stones inside and outside the shop. The smallest ones are no more than the size of a palm, while the largest ones are as tall as a person and weigh more than 10,000 kilograms. Such huge stones are often the treasures of each shop. This kind of stone, which is a special product of Zhongyue in Chengtian Kingdom, is named afterThe lamplight stone is the legendary lamplight stone marrow, which is of the highest quality. It is as bright red as blood, extremely thick, without any impurities, and will sway like a lamp. If you hold a piece in your hand, it can naturally deter evil spirits.

The surprising thing is that even the Earth Immortal monks could not see through the inner color before the stone was opened.

Chen Ping'an was not interested in this and gave Pei Qian and the other three ten snow coins each to choose and carve stones.

He climbed the mountain alone and wanted to visit the Zhongyue Temple at the top of the mountain, so he made an appointment to meet at an inn at the foot of the mountain at dusk.

Pei Qian was a little nervous and asked if he could not buy the stone.

Chen Pingan smiled and pinched her dark cheeks, "Anyway, the ten pieces of snow money are yours, you can spend them as you like."

Pei Qian said "oh" .

Wait until Chen Ping'an was far away and started walking up the mountain.

Pei Qian immediately jumped up for joy, opened his teeth and claws, and performed a crazy swordsmanship.

Before Zhu Lian visited the two shops, he bought a piece of lamplight stone that was pleasing to the eye. He cut it open on the spot and lost all his money.

Pei Qian was so angry that he almost fought with him.

Zhu Lian pressed Pei Qian's forehead with one hand and allowed Pei Qian to move his hands and feet.

Shi Rou held ten snow coins in her hand. She looked at them carefully and listened attentively. She walked from shop to shop. She often picked up a light stone and looked at it for a long time before putting it down again. She still didn’t spend any of it. Snow money.

Zhu Lian was full of praise: "You really know how to live."

Pei Qian followed Shi Rou, staring at the lamplight stones of different sizes every time, wishing he could put his eyes on them .

I was kicked in the butt several times by Zhu Lian, and I was also laughed at by Zhu Lian. It doesn’t matter if I fall out of Qian’s eyes, but it doesn’t matter if I fall into a pile of rocks.

Zhu Lian soon regretted not following Chen Pingan on the mountain climbing.

The two ladies, Shi Rou and Pei Qian, are really perseverant when shopping in the shops. Not only do they have to stroll through the shops one by one, but they also have to look at them one by one. In addition, as long as there are customers After buying the lamplight stone and asking the shop to help cut the stone, the two of them must stop and look solemnly from beginning to end, as if they care more about the result than the high-rollers who spend a lot of money to buy the stone.

Zhu Lian walked without difficulty, but his heart was tired.

As a result, when Zhu Lian raised his head and glanced at the sky, he estimated that even Mr. Chen was about to go down the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Shi Rou finally bought a palm-sized lamplight stone. According to the price listed in the store, it cost two snow coins.

The stone that was cut out turned out to be a bright red chalcedony the size of a thumb, and even the shopkeeper was sincerely shocked.

It’s not that such a lamplight stone is so valuable, but that such a large lampfire stone can produce so much stone marrow is indeed very rare.

Shi Rou smiled and had no intention of selling the bright red and thick piece of lamplight stone marrow.

After walking out of the shop, Pei Qian suddenly tugged on Shirou's sleeve and whispered: "Sister Shirou, can you lend me eight snowflakes to spend some money?"

Shi Rou asked curiously: "You don't want to buy rocks, so why are you borrowing money?"

Pei Qian said seriously: "I will buy rocks!"

Shi Rou was even more confused, "After shopping here, there are so many shops, do you still remember which one?"

Pei Qian nodded vigorously.

Shi Rou smiled and handed the remaining eight snow coins to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian took a deep breath and began to run away.

Shi Rou and Zhu Lian looked at each other and followed quickly.

I don’t know what kind of medicine this Pei Qian is selling in the gourd.

In the end, the two of them found Pei Qian standing in a corner in a large shop with a mountain of various lamps and stones, "pulling out" a lamp with great difficulty. She might not be able to hold it with both hands. The Deng Huo Stone is probably there

Although the Deng Huo Stone cannot be seen inside, it has hundreds of years of mining history, the stone veins on the mountain roots of Zhongyue are also exquisite, and the rich experience of constantly extracting chalcedony, each The person who knows the store will have a rough estimate, and there will inevitably be some deviations, but they are generally not big. Small leaks will occasionally occur, but big leaks will almost never be picked up.

So although many lamplight stones are large, their prices are extremely low. Some stones are not large, but their prices are high.

The lantern stone next to the squatting Pei Qian was quite big, and it was only priced at twenty snow coins.

It has been sitting in the shop for more than a hundred years, and no one cares about it.

Pei Qian started bargaining with the shopkeeper Zheng'er, saying that she only had fifteen pieces of snow money, which was all her savings that she had worked hard to save for many years.

The old shopkeeper thought this little girl's video was interesting. She didn't look like a child from a wealthy family at all. She was dark and beautiful, but she could own fifteen snow coins, which was fifteen thousand taels of silver. , in the counties and cities of Chengtian Kingdom, they are all considered rich.

In fact, the old shopkeeper thinks that if you cut off five snow coins and fifteen snow coins, the price is not bad, otherwise such a big light and flint stone that the master of palm secretly estimates to be ten snow coins. , maybe after another hundred years, the shop will have been passed down to his grandson, and he still won’t be able to sell it.

However, the old man and Pei Qian were still asking for an exorbitant price, and the other was paying back the money on the spot. After about half a stick of incense, the old shopkeeper wanted to see how much the little girl spent to save five pieces of snow. , what excuses and reasons can you come up with.

In the end, the old shopkeeper laughed and agreed, but when he saw the Heitan girl taking out a large handful of snow coins, she picked out three and put them back into her sleeve, and handed over the remaining fifteen. he.

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched.

Little girl, you are a bit unkind.

Pei Qian pretended to be stupid and crazy, grinning.

Shi Rou pretended not to know Pei Qian.

Zhu Lian gave her a thumbs up, "You are worthy of being the founder of the mountain."

The old shopkeeper was not angry, but felt that the ghostly little girl was good at doing things. A good businessman, he asked with a smile: "Would you like our shop to help you cash in?"Opening stone?

Pei Qian nodded and said: "It needs to be opened, otherwise I won't be able to carry it because it's so heavy. According to your rules, twenty lamplight stones worth less than 20 pieces of snow money can be opened for free." Also, if a good stone is found, it is the buyer's choice whether to give the shop a bonus or not. If I don't give you a bonus, Mr. Don't be angry. "

The old shopkeeper was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

Pei Qian suddenly asked the old shopkeeper to wait for a while and turned to look at Zhu Lian.

Zhu Lian had a clear understanding. , nodded and said: "Let's go, the young master is not here, but I am here. "

Pei Qian tilted his head, smiled brightly, turned his head suddenly, and waved to the old shopkeeper, "Open the stone! "

Then she returned the remaining three snow coins to Shi Rou and said softly: "I still owe you five more. I will pay you back later. ”

After a stick of incense.

The whole long street at the foot of the mountain was shocked.

Pei Qian, who was already carrying a parcel across his body, had another heavy burden. Luggage.

The old shopkeeper of the shop behind him was beating his chest with regret.

The once-in-a-century light stone marrow is worth three Grain Rain coins!

Zhu Lian covered his sleeves with his hands, smiling slowly, and followed behind the swaggering Pei Qian.

Shi Rou felt it was too weird

Chen Ping'an just came down the mountain. , came to the end of the street.

Chen Pingan was confused when he saw the familiar figure.

Pei Qian immediately flew away. He ran over and was out of breath.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "What's wrong, is it Zhu Lian or Shi Rou who missed it?" "

Pei Qian just laughed.

Zhu Lian and Shi Rou came to the master and apprentice. Zhu Lian laughed softly and said: "Master, this money-losing guy can spend fifteen If you spend a piece of snow, you will get a piece of lamplight stone marrow worth at least three grain rain coins. "

Chen Ping'an smiled and touched Pei Qian's head, "So awesome. ”

I am happy, but I can’t say that I am shocked or surprised.

Pei Qian narrowed his eyes into crescent moons, tilted his head, and took off the hand with some difficulty. He handed the package to Chen Pingan, "Master, this is for you. ”

Chen Ping’an smiled and waved his hand: “Keep it for yourself. Later, when you save money to buy a Duobao shelf, put it in the most conspicuous place. It’s not very good. Everyone who sees it will envy it. I know you are a little rich man. "

Pei Qian shook his head vigorously and explained: "I remembered it. The day I caught Shantiao and released him, it turned out to be your birthday, Master. It happened to be my birthday gift to Master. Gift. "

Chen Ping'an was stunned and silent for a long time. He placed his palms on Pei Qian's little head and narrowed his eyes with a rare smile. "Is that so? Master will accept it?" ”

This is the first time that Zhu Lian has seen such a happy Chen Pingan.

When Chen Pingan reunited with Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia, ​​he was naturally very happy, but Chen Pingan was not as happy as he is now. thisKind of happy.

Pei Qian nodded and apologized: "But Master, I may not be able to give such a good gift on the fifth day of May next year?"

Chen Pingan took the one Put the parcel into the bamboo box behind his back, then hold Pei Qian's hand and walk together on the street.

Pei Qian talked happily about the sight of everyone’s eyes widening after the stone was opened.

Chen Pingan smiled and listened to Pei Qian's chatter.

The sun sets in the west.

Yuhui elongated the figure of one large and one small.

Zhu Lian still held his sleeves with his hands, and Shi Rou's eyes were gentle.
