Chapter 400: Traveling to the North and Returning

The group originally planned to stay at the Shanjiao Inn, but it was overcrowded. Most of them had one room left in this house and another in that house. Chen Pingan was worried and worried that Shi Rou could not protect Pei Qian by herself, so he had to take a flying boat back. The ferry boat hovering in the air in Tsing Yi.

Zhu Lian asked how the incense was at the Zhongyue Temple on the top of the mountain. Chen Pingan said that he did not go in to burn incense, but just walked around the top of the mountain. However, he passed several Taoist temples along the way. It was obvious that for No effort was spared in competing for pilgrims. The Taoist temple asked a third-rank official of Chengtian Kingdom to erect a monument at the entrance of the temple, and the temple hired a famous calligrapher to write a plaque. In addition, the mountain roads leading to the temple and Taoist temples were built to be extremely flat and shaded by green trees.

This is how it is on Yiyue Mountain. The competition for incense among the five mountains in a country becomes more fierce, and they use all possible means. The god of Yiyue often invites those who practice the Qi of the middle and fifth realms to practice together. Even if no one is around, the hut will be there. This means that if the mountain is not high, the immortals will be there. They would also warmly invite literati and poets to travel around the mountains and leave poems and calligraphy treasures, and then send people to the secular dynasty to add fuel to the flames, etc., and there were all kinds of tricks. It is said that there was a famous civil servant in Nanyue of Chengtian Kingdom who was later known as Basho Bachelor. While taking shelter in Nanyue from the rain, he wrote that wonderful and popular poem. It was highly praised by the deputy head of Guanhu Academy and was compiled into a collection of poems and used as the finale. So much so that today, a hundred years later, Nanyue Temple is still benefited by this "literary spirit".

Chen Ping'an doesn't like these businesses that have nothing to do with immortality, but he doesn't resist them either.

I don’t know if one day I really want to establish a small sect in my hometown of Longquan County, I will need to copy these methods.

Before taking off in the flying boat, Zhu Lian said softly: "Master, do you want me to show my hand? Pei Qian has such a piece of lamplight stone marrow, it is inevitable that someone will covet it."

Chen Pingan He shook his head and said with a smile: "First of all, we are not causing trouble now, and secondly, we are not able to stop ordinary evil people. How can a good person guard against thieves and beat gongs and drums every night? If someone really knocks on the door, you Zhu Lian will be eliminated by the people." The harm is gone."

Shi Rou rarely took the initiative to speak, "But we are so valuable that people are greedy."

Chen Pingan patiently explained: "You are wrong, No. First, it is wrong to be motivated by wealth and have the intention to seize treasures and kill people. Second, it seems that we are guilty of possessing the jade to make outsiders jealous, but this is not the case. It is evil people who have evil in their hearts. Today, Seeing the lamplight and stone marrow, seeing any magic weapon or spiritual weapon tomorrow, or the blessings of others the day after tomorrow, will all be the reason for them to take risks and disregard the law."

In the following order, Chen Ping'an has already broken the truth. To put it bluntly, Shi Rou nodded in approval.

Chen Pingan finally smiled and said: "The rivers and lakes are already full of chaos, so let's not criticize good people harshly. The Spring and Autumn Period blamed the sages. That was the good intention of the sages, but not everyone in our future generations. It can be done mechanically."

Zhu Lian asked Pei Qian with a smile, "Do you understand?"

Pei Qian glared and said, "I want you to take care of it!"

The flying boat slowly lifted into the air.

Pei Qian sat next to Chen Pingan, struggling to hold back his laughter.

Zhu Lian asked: "Why don't you buy a few more lamplight stones... and gamble on luck? For example, if you still have three snowflakes left on hand to spend money, and it really doesn't work, you can ask Shirou to sell that piece. Little lamplight and stone marrow, with a small fortune, the more you make, the more money you make, the more gold and silver you make. In this feng shui treasure land, won't you make a fortune? Not to mention the birthday gift I gave you to your master this year, maybe next year and the year after that. It's all ready..."

Pei Qian held out two fingers with a proud face.

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Just tell me, I am all ears."

Pei Qianxue Na Chen Pingan said slowly: "First, on the way out of the Lion Garden, Master taught A gentleman will not take away what others like, so I will not ask Shi Rou to sell the light and stone marrow. He clasped his hands and cupped his fists, "I've been taught, I'm taught. I don't know when the heroine Pei will open a school to teach and teach. I will definitely support you when the time comes."

Pei Qian punched out deliberately To scare Zhu Lian, when he saw that the old cook was motionless, he retracted his fist angrily, "Old cook, why are you so childish?"

Zhu Lian punched out.

Pei Qian leaned back instantly, dodged the punch, and laughed.

Zhu Lian and Chen Pingan looked at each other and smiled.

Shi Rou is not a pure martial artist after all, so he doesn’t know the mystery behind it.

After the group got on the ferry, the rumor about "a young swordsman with two natal flying swords" was too shocking, far greater than the temptation of three Guyu coins, so until As the ferry sailed out of Chengtian Kingdom, no unscrupulous person dared to test his skills as a swordsman.

However, Chen Ping'an was really impressed by the slow speed of this ferry, the roundabout route, and the various ways to make money.

On this day, another ferry was hovering and a flying boat was casting a net out to a fairy mansion to walk across the "single-plank bridge". Even Chen Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and curse that we were really on a pirate ship.

The Xianjia sect is only third-rate in Aquarius Continent, but it has built a ten-mile-long single-plank bridge between the two peaks. It is high above the sea of ​​clouds all year round. The money is not ambiguous either, a trip costs a full three snow coins. It is said that the bee-tailed wild cultivator who went to the Five Realms once crossed the single-plank bridge here, and happened to see the scene of the rising sun. Due to the resonance, he realized the Tao and broke through the realm. It was here that the Golden Elixir Earth Immortal became the one who crossed the bridge. Only after taking this step did he achieve the great achievement of standing proudly on the top of Aquarius Continent with a low status as a wild cultivator.

Chen Pingan still obediently took out twelve snow coins.

At first, Pei Qian thought about running back and forth seven or eight times, but he was just a young maid who was lucky enough to go up the mountain to practice in the Immortal Family. She smiled and reminded everyone that this single-plank bridge has a special value and cannot be used.Go back.

Pei Qian stomped his feet in annoyance, he lost money again, didn't he? !

It is said to be a single-plank bridge, but it is actually not narrow and difficult to walk on.

The bridge that the bee-tailed Watano built back then was indeed in tatters.

Later, some efforts were made to build the mountain gate to its present scale. Not only is it wide and stable, but it is also rebuilt to be extremely delicate and beautiful.

Afterwards, the ferry went around the middle of the war-torn Aquarius Continent, making a veritable circle.

So much so that under the ground at the foot of the ferry is the dragon road that Chen Ping'an once took a boat to go south.

That time, Chen Pingan separated from Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia and went south alone.

This time, Pei Qian, Zhu Lian and Shi Rou were with him.

During this time on the ferry, in addition to practicing boxing, Chen Pingan had to spend half of his time sitting in meditation, forgetting to look inside, absorbing spiritual energy, and warming the "water house".

The longer he got involved in spiritual practice, the deeper he felt about the sequelae of practicing Qi and martial arts. Chen Pingan roughly came to a conclusion that this path would lead Chen Pingan to enter martial arts. After the seventh level and the Qi Practitioner Cave Realm, there is a short bonus journey, but after that, especially after the life object is refined and the golden elixir is finally formed one day, the conflict between the two will become increasingly irreconcilable. , making the martial arts climb bumpy at every turn, and advancing to Nascent Soul is even more difficult.

But these are all things in the future.

At present, we still have to fight, and we still have to do our best to absorb and temper the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Chen Pingan took the most basic six steps of walking and punched a million punches on the Sword Qi Great Wall, from leaving Hanging Mountain to Tongye Continent, then to Ouhua Blessed Land, and then to Daquan Dynasty. , Qinghu Palace and the Old Dragon City at the southernmost tip of Aquarius Continent, and now from the Qingluan Kingdom in the southeast to the Great Sui Dynasty in the north, they have probably punched nearly 400,000 punches.

After the Tsing Yi ferry has gone away.

During the Xiaoshu season, which is the hot period of steaming and cooking, three old men climbed the mountain to reach this single-plank bridge.

There are few tourists.

Except for the Shanmen women collecting money at both ends of the single-plank bridge, there were almost no customers on the bridge.

A short old man wearing linen clothes, who looked very aggressive. He was the shortest, but the most powerful. He slapped an old man traveling with him on the shoulder and said, "The man named Xun. "What are you doing in a daze? Pay for it!"

The old man surnamed Xun was busy asking the young woman what was unique about the scenery here. He took out nine pieces of snow and spent money on his legs to be taken advantage of.

The old man who dug out his pocket was none other than the old man Xun mentioned by Zhu Lian. He gave Zhu Lian several novels about gifted men and beauties about gods fighting at Chenchen Pharmacy in Laolongcheng.

Zhu Lian admired this senior's knowledge very much, and his knowledge was very profound.

After that, Sui went to the Yu Guizong of Tongyezhou where the old man was. After Du Mao of Tongye Zong failed to ascend, his vitality was severely damaged. Yugui Zong is now the leader of the clan.A well-deserved leader in the continent.

There is an old man with an ordinary appearance who hesitates to speak. He wants to persuade this carefree old friend. Mr. Xun is kind and kind to visit you across the continent. You should look good from the beginning to the end. If you don’t give it to me, what’s going on? Do you really think that this senior is a junior member of your Invincible Divine Fist Gang? What's more, if Senior Xun hadn't come to help this time, how could he have successfully obtained the largest piece of glazed golden body that Du Mao had left in the world.

Taking a step back, Xun Yuan is, after all, the great monk of the Immortal Realm in Tongyezhou, and the old master of the Yugui Sect! You, a guy who fell back to the Nascent Soul Realm, how can you have the confidence to yell at this senior every day?

This old man is none other than the Upper Five Realm Wild Cultivator from Fengwei Ferry, and he is also Jiang Yun’s master.

So this single-plank bridge was the blessed place for the old people to form the Golden Danke.

The maidservant who was only a monk in the Third Realm could not recognize the depth of the three of them. Let alone her, even the Mountain Master of the Guanhai Realm was standing here and could not tell the details.

One is in Immortal Realm, one is in Jade Pu Realm, and one is in Nascent Soul Realm.

If anyone stomps their feet, the mountain will probably collapse.

After Xun Yuan paid the money, the three old men walked slowly on the single-plank bridge.

In terms of age and cultivation, Xun Yuan was respected.

But this Tongyezhou One-Chi Gun was really unable to stand up in front of the jade-faced young man from Baopingzhou.

Watching the same scene of "Through the Looking Glass", Xiao Langjun took the initiative to ask if he could shoot with a one-foot gun. If he could shoot, he would come and do a small favor.

Xun Yuan patted his chest and promised that even if he could not fight, he would not be held back.

Then the old gang leader of the Invincible Divine Fist Gang, who was a Qi practitioner, gave Xun Yuan an address and arranged to meet there.

Xun Yuan then flew away directly against the wind, which could be said to be as fast as lightning.

The result was that the Taoist Heavenly Lord of the Shengaozong who had just entered the twelfth realm had a conflict with the Yupu realm cultivator at Fengwei Ferry. Both sides were interested in the fragment of the glazed golden body. It is inevitable to win, and there is a stalemate.

If nothing happens, no matter what the final result is, at least the Invincible God Fist Gang will have a grudge with Shen Gaozong.

As a result, the deadlock was broken immediately after Xun Yuan appeared.

Basically, everyone is happy. The Yupu Realm cultivator spent money to buy the large piece of glazed golden body that was rare in a thousand years, which almost wiped out his family's wealth. However, it is obvious that the monk in Aquarius Continent is nominally the third One person, the Taoist Heavenly Lord Qi Zhen, took a big step back. In addition to collecting money, Xun Yuan also helped Shen Gaozong negotiate with one of the seventy-two Confucian sages who sat above the territory of Aquarius Continent. He wanted the piece of glazed golden body to escape and penetrated into an ancient unknown broken cave ruins. He handed it over to Tianjun Qi Zhen and brought it back to the sect for repair and repair. If it is managed well, it will become a place for disciples of Shen Gao Sect to practice. A little blessed place that gets twice the result with half the effort.

Generally speaking, monks in the upper five realms will not easily enter the fragments of the Cave Heaven Paradise.Nothing is absolute.

Not to mention the vast number of Confucian saints in the world, including a group of sages who "opened up frontiers and expanded territories" to find those ruins floating at the bottom of the long river of time. After being salvaged, they may be consolidated into new ones. One of the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, or directly and gradually integrate it into the territory of Haoran World.

There are not a few Confucian saints in history who have completely perished in the long river of time because of this, and there are even more countless people who have damaged the foundation of the Tao for this reason.

It’s just these dangers and sacrifices.

The world doesn’t know.

After Li Huai went to Sui Shanya Academy to study, although he was bullied badly at first, as soon as the rain cleared up, no one from the academy came to him. Trouble, I also made two new friends, two people of the same age, and an extremely talented Han Clan kid named Liu Guan.

A great Sui nobleman named Ma Lian was born in a generation of hairpins.

Liu Guan, who was born in poverty, is bold and always has some wild ideas, but Ma Lian, who comes from the best background, is timid and unable to do anything, and has become a little follower of the two of them. , just hanging around with Liu Guan and Li Huai all day long, because Ma Lian's family is a wealthy family such as the Great Sui Dynasty, and is married to the Gao family of Geyang. Ma Lian is the eldest grandson, but now he hangs out with Li Huai and Liu Guan Together, he was ostracized by other peers in Sui Academy and was ridiculed as a flatterer and a money bag.

After summer, three children who were classmates in the same dormitory sneaked out of the dormitory after the college's night ban and went to the lake to cool off. They wanted to be caught by the master, but they were scolded for copying books. , the matter of being punished by standing for punishment.

Tonight Liu Guan took the lead and walked in a swaggering manner, as if Mr. Academy was patrolling the night. Li Huai looked around, more cautiously, and Ma Lian had a sad face

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

, with his head drooped, followed carefully behind Li Huai.

The three of them arrived at the lake smoothly. Liu Guan took off his boots and put his feet into the slightly cool lake water. He felt that there was something wrong with it. He turned to a relieved companion and said, "Ma Lian, It's very hot in the summer. Isn't your Ma family known as the first Tibetan fan store in Beijing? Go back and take out three handfuls and give one to Li Huai and me. We can fan ourselves away from the heat while doing schoolwork. ”

Ma Lian said with a grimace: “My grandfather’s most precious fans are all his treasures, and he won’t give them to me.”

Liu Guan rolled his eyes and said, "Then I steal a few fans that your grandfather doesn't often play with. If I find out, how can I beat your grandson to death?"

Ma Lian was about to cry but had no tears. .

Li Huai smoothed things over and said, "Forget it, Ma Lian is timid and can't hide things on his face. If we really want him to go home and steal the fan, his parents will probably spot the flaw as soon as he gets home. ”

Ma Lian nodded vigorously.

Liu Guan sighed, "It's such a waste of such a good background. I can't do this, and I don't dare to do that. Ma Lian, when you grow up, I can see that you won't be able to make much progress, and at most you will rest on your laurels. Look, your grandpaHe is our Minister of Household Affairs in the Sui Dynasty, and holds the title of Wenyingdian University. When your father comes, he is only a county magistrate who is sent to other places. Although your uncle is a capital official, he is a Fu Baolang the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean. It will be your turn to be an official in the future. , I guess he can only be a county magistrate. "

Ma Lian sighed and did not fight back. He did not have the courage to quarrel with Liu Guan, but also because he felt that Liu Guan was right.

Among the three, the teacher Although the teacher scolded Liu Guan the most, even a blind person could see that the masters actually had the highest expectations for Liu Guan, and his performance was slightly better than that of Li Huai, who was at the bottom of the list.

Li Huai patted Ma Lian on the shoulder and comforted him: "Being a county magistrate is already very powerful. In my hometown, earlier, the biggest official was a kiln supervisor with an official hat. I don't know how old he is. Now Then there was a county magistrate. Besides, officials, big and small, are all friends of me and Liu Guan. When you are young, Liu Guan and I will definitely still treat you as friends, but don’t think that when you become an official, you won’t treat us as friends anymore? "

Ma Lian quickly promised: "No, I will treat you as my best friends in my life.

Liu Guan smiled and said: "Then Li Huai and I, who is your best friend?" ”

Ma Lian was speechless, always feeling that no matter how he answered, he would not be able to please him. Although he admired Liu Guan’s intelligence and his decisiveness in everything he did like a little adult, in his heart Deep down, Ma Lian still prefers to get along with Li Huai. He is easy to talk to and will not hurt him with words or make him feel ashamed.

After Li Huaixiao put his feet in the water, he collapsed. He took a breath of air-conditioning, shuddered, and laughed loudly: "I'm second best. I won't compete with Liu Guan for first place. Liu Guan is first in everything anyway.

Liu Guan put his arm around Li Huai's neck and said with a smile, "You sound like you're trying to make me, you kid, can compete with me." "

Li Huai quickly begged for mercy: "I can't compete. I can't compete. Liu Guan, why are you competing with a person who is at the bottom of his studies? Are you embarrassed? ”

Ma Lian smiled secretly.

Three children, after all, they still have carefree years.

As a result, there was a sound of a certain wife’s voice in the distance. Yelling angrily, Liu Guan pushed Li Huai and Ma Lian on the shoulders, "You run away first, and I'll hold back that arrogant-nosed Master Han!" "

Ma Lian ran away without saying a word, still barefoot.

Li Huai helped Ma Lian get his boots and asked, "What should you do? "

Liu Guan glared and said: "Hurry up and leave, the three of us will be taken away together. Tomorrow will be even worse, and the punishment will be heavier! ”

Li Huai put on his boots hastily and ran more steadily than Ma Lian. After all, he came from Da Sui Academy all the way from Longquan County of Da Li.

Finally it was Liu Guan Master Han, who was on duty at night, could bear the wrath of Master Han alone. If Liu Guan hadn't answered the question correctly during the class, he would have made Liu Guan stand by the lake all night.

Liu Guan returned to school. After leaving the house, Li Huai opened the door and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Liu GuanshenHe snapped his fingers with his right hand and said triumphantly: "There is no problem in the world that I, Liu Guan, cannot solve."

Li Huai was keenly observant and asked: "Aren't you left-handed?"

Liu Guan immediately cursed, sat at the table, and spread his palms. It turned out that the palm of his left hand was already red and swollen. He said angrily: "Old drunkard Han must be angry in his heart. Either the price of drinks in the capital has increased, or his two This unscrupulous descendant got into trouble again and deliberately took out his anger on me. The beating with the ruler was particularly severe today."

Liu Guan is a big-hearted guy who can sleep on his head. He is worried about Li Huai and Ma Lian. When he was going to suffer tomorrow, Liu Guan was already fast asleep.

Liu Guan slept on the outermost side of the bed, Li Huai's quilt was closest to the wall, and Ma Lian was in the middle.

Li Huai didn't feel sleepy. He sat against the wall under the moonlight, holding a painted puppet in his hand and chanting something.

Ma Lian asked softly: "Li Huai, why don't you play with Li Baoping recently?"

Li Huai said casually: "I have been afraid of her since I was a child. Besides, What's going on, I always find a girl to play with. If people misunderstand that I like Li Baoping, I will definitely be beaten to death by Li Baoping."

Oh, Ma Lian. There was a sound, a little disappointed.

He thought the girl in the red cotton jacket was really pretty.

If he could see her from afar in the academy one day, he would be happy all day long.

Ma Lian was silent for a long time, while Li Huai was still shaking the painted puppet, pretending to be the commander-in-chief of the army, having fun.

Ma Lian knew that Li Huai’s small green bamboo box contained a lot of Li Huai’s favorite things.

Ma Lian suddenly asked: "Li Huai, that Chen Pingan you often talk about, you have been in the academy for almost three years, why has he never come to see you?"

Ma Lian found that Li Huai quickly lay down on the mat and put the painted puppet on his head Next to him, Li Huai could do it for half an hour in the past, but today was an exception.

Li Huai actually stared at the moonlight outside the window with his eyes wide open.

A green bamboo bookcase, a pair of straw sandals, and a jade hairpin engraved with Sophora japonica, made of black jade.

These three things are the rarest things for Li Huai.

Li Baoping and Lin Shouyi also each had one hairpin. Chen Pingan gave it to them together at that time, but Li Huai felt that theirs were not as good as his own.

There is also a copy of "Duoshui Cliff" purchased from Hongzhu Town, which was paid for by Chen Ping'an.

Then there is this painted puppet that Li Huai often plays and shows off. It and the delicate yellow wooden box were obtained by sharing the spoils from Wei Bo, the landlord of Qidun Mountain. The puppet is Li Huai's. The number one general under Huai's command.

At that time, Li Huai wanted to give it to Chen Pingan, but Chen Pingan didn't want it and just asked Li Huai to put it away properly.

Then he got stuck in the book "Broken Water Cliff".

There is also a set of lifelike clayThe people were presented to the Fengxue Temple in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. They are not as "tall and majestic" as the painted puppets. There are five clay figurine statues, only half a finger high. There are knight-errant swordsmen, whisk Taoists, armored generals, women riding cranes, and gongs and drums. The watchmen all gave Li Huai a nickname and the title of a certain general.

Li Huai had long forgotten what Wei Jianxian who was flying around said some things, such as the Yin Yang School, the Mohist Puppetry Technique, the Taoist Fu Lu Sect, and the Qi Practitioners of the Seventh and Eighth Realms. , I was only thinking about having fun at that time, so how could I listen to these messy things. Later, when I introduced the clay figurines to two friends, I wanted to brag about the value of the five little ones. I racked my brains and couldn't brag, so I finally remembered this incident. Li Huai didn't ask Li Baoping, who has a good memory. Or Lin Shouyi, thinking that Chen Ping'an had agreed to come to the academy to see them anyway, so he would ask him again if he came. Anyway, Chen Pingan remembers everything.

On a piece of paper, there is written the character Qi that Mr. Qi asked them to copy.

But Chen Pingan seemed to have forgotten them.

At first, I would write letters and send pictures to Li Baoping, but later it seemed that there were no letters anymore.

————

Compared to the small fights between Li Huai and two peers.

Lin Shouyi is already recognized as the proud son of the Cliff Academy.

His knowledge and practice are balanced, and he is highly regarded by many masters in the academy.

Early on, I followed an old immortal who was proficient in thunder skills to travel through the mountains and rivers of Sui Dynasty. I spent almost half the time in the academy and outside.

The last person to receive such treatment was the youngest sage of Guanhu Academy in the Sui Dynasty, and he was praised as a gentleman by the deputy head of Guanhu Academy.

As he grew older, Lin Shouyi changed from a handsome young man to a handsome nobleman. More and more women admired Lin Shouyi inside and outside the academy. Many young women from the top families in the Sui capital would come to this academy built on Xiaodong Mountain just to see Lin Shouyi from a distance.

Lin Shouyi gradually developed a kind of transcendental temperament that seemed to be getting further and further away from the human world.

As Lin Shouyi's reputation grew and grew, and he was as flawless as white jade, so many wealthy people in the capital of the Sui Dynasty chatted with their colleagues in the Yamen Office, and chatted with him in their own courtyards. In the exchanges between the younger generations of the family, they heard the name Lin Shouyi more and more often, and they began to pay more or less attention to this young scholar.

The attention to these behind-the-scenes sights and the many entanglements in daily life.

Lin Shouyi, who was born as an illegitimate son of a subordinate official in Longquan County, was neither ambitious nor tireless.

Cultivation of the mind is also practice.

The more you work hard to sharpen your mentality yesterday and today, the fewer flaws you will have tomorrow.

Lin Shouyi had a lot of knowledge about the turmoil in the Sui Dynasty because of his travels. Originally, the most prosperous dynasty in the northern part of the continent had a sad atmosphere.

But Lin ShouyiNot interested.

Even the great Li cavalry from their hometown were heading south with overwhelming momentum, but they didn’t care.

In addition to the thunder technique taught by the old master at the academy, Lin Shouyi has been diligently studying the "Langlang Book on the Cloud" obtained from Qidun Mountain.

This time I followed the old master to visit Beiyue on the border of the Sui Dynasty and an immortal cave called Shenxiao Mountain. It took three months. Lin Shouyi also took a ride on an immortal ship for the first time in his life. The purpose of the family's flying boat was to see a thundercloud at close range. The scene was magnificent and thrilling. The old master walked against the wind, left the rickety flying boat, used his magical power to catch thunder and lightning, and collected it in a specially designed Among the Xianjia porcelain bottles that carry thunder and lightning, there is a Thunder Vase. The old master gave it to Lin Shouyi as a gift so that Lin Shouyi could absorb spiritual energy after returning to the academy.

Tonight, Lin Shouyi walked alone in the night and went to the library to read the classics. The night master naturally would not stop him. There were many rules in the Confucian academy, but they were not rigid.

Go to the library and read at night until dawn.

After Lin Shouyi became a Qi Practitioner, as long as his spirit and temperament were properly maintained, he would stay up late and study without getting tired.

Lin Shouyi put back his books and came to the window. It was the moment when the turbid air between heaven and earth was sinking and the clear air was rising.

The world in the eyes of Qi practitioners is completely different from what ordinary people see.

With the naked eye, one cannot see the flow of spiritual energy, the rising of evil spirits, the accumulation of Yang energy, and the dispersion of Yin energy.

It’s just that the doors of ordinary people’s caves are closed. Although they cannot be soaked and tempered by spiritual energy and prolong their lives, they can not be blown and stirred by all kinds of strong winds in the world. Life, old age, illness and death are all determined by God.

Cui Dongshan once recited poetry.

Lin Shouyi yearned for it extremely.

The wind is high and the waves are fast, riding on the back of a toad for thousands of miles, traveling in the sky, overlooking the misty air. The immortal in the drunkenness shakes the osmanthus tree, and the world calls it a breeze.

After entering the academy, I read through the yellowed classics. It was said that the ancient immortals could indeed go to the Sun Palace and the Moon Palace, and drink the immortal wine with the gods, and they would be intoxicated for thousands of years.

Lin Shouyi was full of longing for this.

Lin Shouyi suddenly sighed.

If such a day comes, he hopes that the Yangliu Yiyi woman will stay with him.

As soon as Lin Shou thought of her, he couldn't help but smile.

If a woman from the capital of the Sui Dynasty saw this scene, she would probably be shaken.

In the past few years, Lin Shouyi would occasionally think of that ignorant trip he took when he was a boy. The journey was thrilling but not dangerous, and everything was novel. The first time I saw the mountain monsters, the first time I saw the land gods, the first time I got the opportunity to practice, the first time I stayed at the Xianjia Inn surrounded by fairy spirit, the first time I saw the painted door god who was as tall as a human. For the first time, I got a small book box and a hosta as gifts. For the first time, I was in Sui Academy, a place I was unfamiliar with, sharing the same hatred and difficulties with those who had traveled here together.

Lin Shouyi suddenly felt a little regretful.

It seems like that personAfter leaving, everyone dispersed. Even though they were still in the same academy, they would often meet each other, but their hearts were already dispersed.

A clear and shallow source of water began to branch off and go their separate ways, although it seemed to gradually grow and become a cheerful stream like Li Huai's, a river that began to rise and fall like its own, or a Lakes like Li Baoping who chose to stop and wait, or deep wells and underground rivers like Yu Luxie, but looking back, in the earliest days, there was noisy, bumping, and everyone's legs were covered in mud. Straw sandals and bamboo boxes, sleeping in the open air, someone keeping watch...

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

Lin Shouyi sighed.

There is no going back.

————

At first, Yu Lu had no classmates living in the school, but later a prince, Gao Xuan, moved in. The two were inseparable and had an irreversible relationship.

Not long ago, Yu Lu became a "lonely man" again, because Gao Xuan quietly left Shanya Academy and went to Linlu Academy on Piyun Mountain in Longquan County, saying he was studying, but what is the truth? , anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is nothing more than protons. After the Song family of Great Li and the Gao family of Great Sui Dynasty signed the mountain alliance, in addition to Gao Xuan, there were actually the gatekeeper of the Gao family in the capital of the Sui Dynasty in the eleventh realm, and the old Jiao of Huang Tingguo who had resigned and retired to the mountains. At the same time, he became the deputy principal of the newly built Linlu Academy in Dali.

Yu Lu sent Gao Xuan to the foot of the academy mountain and stopped seeing him off.

This morning, Yu Lu knocked on the door of a small single-family courtyard for the first time.

Thank you to the person who opens the door.

Yu Lu saw Thank you holding a broom.

Even though Cui Dongshan has left the academy for a while, it seems that she is still diligently doing the duties of a maid and a maid every day.

Xie asked with a straight face: "What are you doing here?"

Yu Lu smiled and said: "I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I came to see you."

p>

Thank you for asking: "You have seen it now, then?"

Yu Lu said helplessly: "Isn't it too much to go in and have a cup of tea?"

Xie Xie hesitated for a moment before letting Yu Lu, the young man she should have addressed as His Royal Highness, step into the courtyard.

The yard is not big and must be cleaned very clean. It would be more difficult in autumn when leaves are easy to fall, or in spring when catkins are easy to fly earlier.

Thank you for pointing to the other side of the house. The door is closed, and the corridor under the eaves is paved with bamboos strung together, like a big mat. Yu Lu can even imagine the young man in white with the mole between his eyebrows. , when the night is as cool as water, I lie down here lazily and watch the stars.

Thank you for the reminder: "Before going up the steps, remember to take off your shoes, otherwise I will have to wipe them one more time after you leave."

Yu Lu took off his boots and sat on the green bamboo floor , should be the green bamboo grown by Qi practitioners in a certain fairy house in the Sui Dynasty. For ordinary Sui Dynasty dignitaries, it is considered a luxury to use it to make pen holders. It is very appropriate for literati and elegant people to give it to each other. If there is a summer sleeping mat or The bamboo chairs for enjoying the coolness are even more amazingThe incense, love and financial resources are just in this courtyard, that's all.

Thank you for continuing to be busy. You didn’t pour any tea for Yu Lu. What kind of tea should you drink so early in the morning? Do you really think you are still the Prince of the Lu family? You, Yu Lu, are now worse than Gao Xuan. The Geyang Gao family managed to live in Zuo of the Great Sui Dynasty. Compared with the group of Lu family survivors who were taken to the mountains to the west of Longquan County to work as laborers, they were exposed to the scorching sun and wind and rain all year round. They were often whipped, or they were reduced to goods and were bought as servants and maids on the hills where mansions were built. There was a huge difference between the two.

Yu Lu fell back and asked: "Thank you, have you ever thought about what kind of life you want in the future?"

Thank you for sitting at the stone table, " I never thought about it."

Yu Lu, who was wearing an academy scholar's shirt, folded his hands on his abdomen and said, "Your young master beat me up before leaving the academy."

Thank you. She sneered and said: "Why, you can't beat him Cui Dongshan, so you are going to use me as a punching bag? He is worthy of being a seventh-level martial artist with half the country's martial arts destiny, but are you sure you can beat me?"

She After being caught by Da Li, the empress in the palace asked a Da Li to serve as a sword cultivator, and drove many trapped dragon nails into her key acupoints, which was extremely vicious.

Later, Cui Dongshan pulled out half of the trapped dragon nails, and his cultivation level returned to the Qi Practitioner Cave Realm. Before Cui Dongshan left the academy, he pulled out a few more nails, thanking him for his body, leaving only the last nail to die. The trapped dragon nail at the door of the aperture where the natal object is, but now he has finally returned to the sea-viewing realm. In addition, Cui Dongshan has arranged many secret techniques in the small courtyard, most of which are controlled by the formation center and taught to Xie Xie the methods of opening, driving and closing. Therefore, as long as Xie Xie is in the small courtyard, Mao Xiaodong has the prototype of taking over the cliff academy. .

Yu Lu sat up and said with a smile: "If we really have to fight, you will still lose."

Thank you, with an indifferent expression, "Then you are amazing, it's me. I made a mistake. Do I need to apologize to you?"

Yu Lu lay back again, using his hands as a pillow, and said with emotion: "You are the same as the Lu family. Yu Ni, we should have sympathy for each other and support each other, but deep down in our hearts, we are extremely disgusted with this happy-go-lucky Yu Lu, and we don't hide it.

Yu Lu closed his eyes, "It's comfortable to lie down here, let me squint for a while."

Thank you for hesitating and not chasing people away.

She was actually a little curious as to why Yu Lu didn't follow Gao Xuan to Linlu Academy.

When Yu Lu went to Dali, he could at least take care of the survivors of the Lu family who were in dire straits. Besides, there are actually many civil servants and generals of the Lu family. Although they are attached to Dali, they are still valued and trusted. Many of them are still respected and trusted. The generals even followed the Great Li cavalry southward. It was said that they had made great achievements and attracted great attention, and they began to integrate into the Great Li military.

Even if these are not taken into account, Yu Lu is now a Dali household registration, such a young martial artist in the Golden Body realm.

Speaking out can scare people to death.

Not to mention anything else, Emperor Song of Dali must admit that he is grateful.Not lacking in magnanimity.

The same is true for the vassal king Song Changjing.

No matter how you look at it, Yu Lu should go to Linlu Academy.

But Yu Lu stayed at Shanya Academy.

Among the group of outsiders who entered the academy together, Lin Shouyi, who had always been a Taoist monk, was the most outstanding and had the highest future achievements. The girl Li Baoping is the most interesting, no one can dislike her, Xie Xie has the most support, and Li Huai has the most mediocre academic qualifications, but is the least provoking. And Yu Lu is always the one who attracts the least attention and is easily forgotten. Even after becoming friends with the prince Gao Xuan, people still don't think that the young Yu Lu is worthy of attention. On the contrary, it makes people look down upon him. They are just young people who like to take advantage of opportunities and cling to the wealthy and powerful.

Yu Lu suddenly opened his eyes, "Your young master said that Chen Ping'an is already a fifth-level martial artist who is about to break through, and his true combat power is even higher."

Xie Xie gloated: "Why, are you afraid of being caught up?"

Yu Lu shook his head and said: "I will definitely be caught up."

Xie Xie frowned and said: "Soon? "

Yu Lu nodded and said: "It's faster than you think."

Thank you and asked again, "Martial Arts Enze?"

Yu Lu shook his head. , "It is precisely because it has nothing to do with this that I feel a little... melancholy."

Thank you, I am speechless.

I wonder what Chen Pingan will look like next time we meet.

Thank you. I can’t imagine it.

Probably still carrying a bamboo box and wearing straw sandals, but just a little taller?

Li Baoping also lives alone in the school building.

This is the only thing that Mao Xiaodong and Cui Dongshan, two mortal enemies, have not argued about.

Because the school building is a four-person berth, it stands to reason that the school building should be empty for the little girl in the red cotton-padded jacket who lives alone.

But in fact, except for the bed where she lived, the other three places were full of papers, stacks of papers arranged neatly.

For this reason, the teacher had to complain to several academy owners. The little girl had already copied the book and could be punished more than a hundred times. How should she be punished?

The masters who were on duty at night were even more dumbfounded. Almost everyone could see the little girl copying books by midnight every night.

At first, there were some old gentlemen who defended the little girl. They mistakenly thought that the colleagues who were responsible for teaching Li Baoping's lessons were too targeted and harsh on the little girl, so they complained in private. , but the answer made people laugh or cry. Those teachers said that this was the little girl's preference, and there was no need for her to copy so many articles from sages. Li Baoping occasionally missed class and went to the top of Xiaodong Mountain to be in a daze, or sneaked out of the academy to wander around. According to the rules of the academy, it is true that she should be punished to copy books, but there is no need for so many. The problem is that the little girl likes to copy books, how can they stop her? Other academy students, especially those with jumpy temperamentsFor those of the same age who took off their clothes, the masters used boards and rulers to force the children to copy books. This little girl was better, and she copied a mountain of books.

Fortunately, this little girl in the academy is well-known to everyone. Apart from skipping classes from time to time, which annoys the Master, she is still very rare. Of course, except for those weird questions, which often make the Master angry. They have big heads. Why are there so many incredible ideas in my little head? Why do all the rivers in the world like to twist and turn? Master, do you know the answer? When it rains heavily, do you know whether the mosquitoes outside the school will be killed by the raindrops? Anyway, I searched the ground for a long time after the weather cleared, but I couldn't find a mosquito body? Master, you still don’t know why those fishes in the lake won’t die even after drinking so much water, do you? Is it mentioned in the book? I can just read it myself...

So much so that Several of the teachers who were being taught by the little girl chatted and joked about whether they could compile a collection of Li Baoping's questions when they had a headache.

Today, by some strange mistake, Li Huai did not follow Liu Guan and Ma Lian. He said he was going to the toilet and went to the top of Dongshan Mountain alone.

Coincidentally, I saw Li Baoping sitting on a branch wearing a red skirt.

Li Huai didn’t dare to say hello, so he lay on the stone table at the top of the mountain and looked at the guy who often came here to climb trees from a distance.

After Li Baoping finished his daze, he hugged the tree trunk skillfully, slid to the ground, and ran away.

She also saw Li Huai who raised his arms high but was speechless.

Li Baoping just glanced at Li Huai, turned his head, and ran down the mountain with the wind at his feet.

Li Huai felt a little sad and aggrieved for a while, so he found a branch from the ground, squatted on the ground and drew circles.

Li Huai's eyes lit up. He remembered that he wrote about his parents last time, and they came to the academy to see him.

Is it okay to write Chen Pingan’s name myself?

Li Huai grinned and began to write the words Chen Pingan.

Before he could finish writing, he stretched out a hand and erased all the words that were just one stroke away.

Li Huai was confused and saw Li Baoping who had turned back at some point.

Li Huai wrote another word "Chen" angrily, and Li Baoping reached out to erase it.

In the past, Li Huai might have chickened out, but today, as if he had eaten the courage of a bear’s heart and a leopard’s courage, he had to bite the bullet and start writing again.

Li Baoping didn't say anything. Li Huai wrote on a tree branch, and she wiped it away with her hand.

As a result, when Li Huai broke the dead branch, he still couldn't write a complete word "Chen" on the ground, let alone the word "peace" at the end.

Li Huai lost half of the branch and began to cry loudly.

Li Baoping ignored Li Huai, picked up the branch, and continued to squat. She already had a pointed chin, resting it on one arm, and started to write the words "Little Master Uncle". After that, I was quite satisfied and nodded.

Li Huai wiped his face carelessly and sobbed: "Li Baoping, if you keep bullying me like this, I will complain to Chen Ping'an when he comes! When he gets angry, he might not be happy to be your little one." "Uncle Master!"

Li Baoping changed the font and continued to write the words "Uncle Master". He stared at the ground attentively and turned a deaf ear to Li Huai's threat.

Li Huai suddenly smiled and asked cautiously: "Li Baoping, just let me write three words? It worked. Maybe Chen Pingan will come to our academy tomorrow." I’m not going to lie to you. I missed my parents last time. As soon as I wrote this, all three of them came. You know it.” Li Baoping didn’t even raise his head and just handed it over. branches.

Li Huai was very excited, but just as he was writing on the branch in his hand, Li Baoping suddenly frowned and said: "Write well!"

Li Huai was so frightened that his hand shook, and he immediately became unbelievably crooked. He cried, "What are you doing?!"

Li Baoping helped wipe away the traces.

Li Huai burst into laughter and began to write the word Chen seriously.

After finishing writing.

Li Baoping looked around, "Where are the people?"

Li Huai said with a sad face: "How can it be so fast."

Li Baoping got up and felt numb. Liu'er ran towards the big tree, stood on the branches and looked up into the distance.

Li Huai's eyes turned sharply, knowing something was wrong, so he lost the branch and started running away.

But he couldn't outrun Li Baoping. Li Baoping, who had fallen off the tree, quickly caught up with him. Li Huai was so frightened that he squatted down and held his head.

It’s just that Li Baoping didn’t beat him for the first time this time. He ran along the mountain road to the gate of the academy to wander around the streets and alleys of the Sui Dynasty capital.

When Li Baoping was touring the streets of the capital, Li Huai returned to his school for the rest of his life.

On the other side of the mountain gate of Sui Cliff Academy.

A group of four people who were tired of the journey. A young man in white clothes, carrying a sword and a bamboo box on his back, smiled and handed the customs clearance document to an old Confucian scholar at the mountain gate.

The old Confucian scholar looked at it for a long time. The seals from the two continents and various countries were densely packed. The old man was full of surprise. He raised his head and smiled and said: "This Mr. Chen has traveled to so many places?"

The young people visiting the academy smiled and nodded.
