Zhu Lian found that Chen Pingan felt something different after he used his sword to return to the plank road.
It is a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
It was only after Zhu Lian spent time with Chen Ping'an that he was able to realize this similar subtle change, just like...the spring breeze ripples the water in the pond.
Chen Pingan asked Pei Qian, who had been waiting for a long time, to go to bed first, and for the first time asked Zhu Lian to drink together. The two sat cross-legged on the cliff outside the plank road. Zhu Lian asked with a smile: "It seems, The young master is a little happy? Is it because it feels so good to travel with a sword?"
Chen Pingan asked: "Remember Cao Ci?"
Zhu Lian said with a smile. How could this old slave forget his name? On the other side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the young master has lost three games in a row. He is the one who can convince the young master of losing. The old slave can’t wait to meet him tomorrow, and then beat him to death with one or two punches. , so as not to compete with the young master for the world's martial arts fortune and delay the young master's advancement to the legendary eleventh realm, the realm of the God of War."
Chen Ping'an didn't care about Zhu Lian's flattery and jokes, and drank leisurely. "I don't know if it's an illusion, but Cao Ci may have broken through again."
Zhu Lian asked strangely: "Then why does the young master still feel happy? The top spot in the world cannot accommodate two people. Of course, it's too early for the young master to talk about this with Cao Ci."
Chen Ping'an took a sip of the Laojiao saliva wine in the sword gourd and asked, "What do you mean? We are purely martial artists, practicing boxing and martial arts, for what purpose?"
Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Of course it is to gain great liberation and great freedom. Whatever we want to do, we can do it. You can just say no to things you don't want to do. Although each of the world's best people in the history of Ouhua Blessing has different pursuits, they all reach the same goal in this general direction. Sui Youyou, Lu Baixiang, and Wei Xian. , and I, Zhu Lian, are the same. It’s just that Ouhua Blessed Land is a small place after all, and no one has a deep impression of immortality. Even those of us who are already at the top of the world will not go there more. I think, because we never knew that there is a "heaven", Haoran Tianxia is much stronger than us. The visit to the immortal asked, among the four of us, Wei Xian has gone the furthest. Who is the emperor? The ministers and the common people will think of long live long live if they shout too much."
Chen Ping'an pointed at himself, "I didn't tell you much about the things in the early years. The first time I practiced boxing was. Because someone had interrupted the Changsheng Bridge, I had to practice boxing to survive, so I persisted. As agreed, I carried the sword forged by Ruan Qiong on my back and went to Daixuan Mountain to deliver the sword to Miss Ning. After I left a long time ago It was a long, long road, and I finally reached the upside down mountain. I was about to punch a million punches. At that time, deep down in my heart, I naturally had some doubts. When I no longer needed to practice boxing in order to survive, I Chen Pingan is not the kind of person who likes to compete with others for first place. What should he do next? "
"Is it not difficult to become the next Zhuhe? Or is it the next Song Yushao from Shushui Kingdom? , not too difficult, but still boringWith one million more punches to the head, can I expect to be a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm? You know, I was at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the place with the most sword cultivators in the world. A few steps away from where I lived, there lived a sword immortal who was the oldest in the Great Wall of Sword Qi in a hut. , there are words carved by the boss sword fairy, and there are also words carved by A Liang. Do you think I won’t want to switch to practicing swordsmanship? Thoughtful. ”
“That’s why I was so eager to rebuild the Changsheng Bridge at that time. I even thought that since it was difficult to multitask, I should just give up practicing boxing and try my best to become a swordsman and cultivate my skills. A natal flying sword, and finally became a veritable swordsman? Great Sword Fairy? I thought about it very much, but I didn’t dare to say this to Miss Ning. I was afraid that she would think that I was not a dedicated person and that I treated boxing training like this. Will it actually be the same?
Zhu Lian took a sip of wine and said, "The old slave met the young master too late, and he actually missed the young master's youthful sorrow that may not be seen again in the future. He must take a sip of wine to wash away his regrets." . "
Chen Pingan raised his head, hugged the sword gourd with both hands, patted it gently, and said with a smile: "At that time, I met Cao Ci. So I am very grateful to him, but I am embarrassed to say it. "
Chen Pingan pointed to himself again, and then pointed to the high mountain cliff opposite the plank road, "Cao Ci may be over there, I am far behind." Although I don’t deliberately pursue being number one in the martial arts realm, I’m not a fool. Who wants to be number one? Of course I want to be the first, but I just...want to be slower, just like when I was walking on the railing in Ziyang Mansion Treasure House earlier, I was thinking about the word "slow" and figured out a lot of things. If I trace back to the source In fact, I have been exposed to this word since I was an apprentice in Long Kiln and learned to draw billets. Old man Yao disliked my lack of talent and was never willing to teach me principles. He even didn’t like to talk to me. But at that time, I was The kiln should be the foundation for future survival. What should I do if Old Man Yao doesn’t teach me? Then I listened to his talks with Liu Xianyang and other apprentices again and again. Old Man Yao told them that the mind must be steady so that the hand can be steady. Only then can we go from being slow and error-free to being fast and correct. Logically speaking, it seems that I should have known this truth long ago, right? I remember the prison, right? In fact, it is still not the case. Only when I have traveled a long way, met many people, and have many truths that are not long-lasting on my own, will I live in my heart like Master Mao Shan said, and the truth will be considered my own.
"When Cao Ci appeared, I knew that among my peers, there was not only Ma Kuxuan, but also Cao Ci. No matter how dazzling Cao Ci was, I would never hate him, no. As for being jealous of Cao Ci, I felt a little disappointed at most. I would certainly feel a little unhappy when I lost three games to others next to my beloved girl in front of her. So at that time, I made up my mind that one day , No matter how high Cao Ci’s martial arts level is in the future, or how outsiders say he is an unprecedented martial arts embryo, I will try to make him lose three games in a row
Chen Pingan’s expression is calm, his eyes are clear! Yi Yi, “Only above boxing skills! ”
ZhuHe patted his thigh and said, "How magnificent! The young master's ambition is so high!"
Chen Ping'an patted the sword gourd, looked at the mountain wall opposite, and said with a smile: "I was talking drunkenly. ."
Zhu Lian believed that he was the best at understanding style and the least likely to ruin the scenery. After sealing a new bottle of wine, put it away and just wait. There is no reason to open it and smell it again. So Zhu Lian
began to change the topic, "What does the young master seem to be worried about during this journey?"
Chen Ping'an nodded, "You are also paying attention to the power of the country in Dali. It’s not surprising that the Imperial Master Xiu Hu was busy setting up traps and collecting nets for fishing elsewhere, so why did Cui Dongshan appear in the Cliff Academy?”
Zhu Lian asked: “It’s unimaginable to have magical powers in the upper five realms? , Isn’t it strange that the souls are separated? Isn’t there Shirou who lives in the immortal’s body next to us?" Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Cui Cheng and Cui Dongshan are already two people. And they started to walk on different paths. So, how do you think two people with the same heart and temperament will get along in the future?" Zhu Lian smiled and said, "With Cui Dongshan's temper, Except for the young master, he will never be inferior to others, not even...himself."
Chen Ping'an murmured: "A person with a colorful cloud spectrum, How would I play chess with myself?"
Zhu Lian began to frown, with a solemn expression, and turned to look at Chen Ping'an.
Chen Pingan nodded, "I guess I am the chessboard. The two of them may have started playing chess since we arrived at Old Dragon City."
Chen Pingan He stretched out a finger and drew criss-crossing lines, "One by one, there are criss-crossing places, big ones, such as Qingluan Kingdom, and Cliff Academy, small ones, such as Lion Garden, any ship going to Sui Dynasty." The Xianjia Ferry and the Ziyang Mansion we passed by recently are all possible."
Zhu Lian asked: "Cui Dongshan will not harm the young master, right?"
Chen Ping'an. Shaking his head, "He has been trying his best to help me, no doubt about it."
Zhu Lian couldn't help but stand up, stooped, and said in a deep voice: "This is no small matter!"
p>Chen Pingan is still sitting, shaking gently
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Raising the sword gourd, "Of course it is not a small matter, but it doesn't matter, it is bigger. I have come across all the plans and more powerful chess games."
Zhu Lian walked slowly, rubbing the palms of his hands together, "I have to think about it carefully."
Chen. Ping An comforted him in turn: "Don't worry, it won't involve life or death, so it can't be a life-and-death battle with fists and fists, and it won't be a fatal situation like Du Mao suddenly appearing in Old Dragon City."
Zhu Leng thought for a while and frowned, "This is getting more and more difficult. Isn't this old slave unable to contribute even half of his strength? Will he just stare at me when the time comes? Then I won't be able to suffocate this old slave to death."< /p>
Chen Ping'an looked at the opposite cliff, straightened his back, and held the back of his head with both hands, "No matter what, just take one step at a time."There is no reason to be afraid of going home! "
Zhu Lian looked at Chen Ping'an's profile and said, "Soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth? The young master is very generous. "
Chen Ping'an sighed for no reason, "If you know too many principles, you will occasionally get confused. "
Chen Ping'an bent down, stacked his palms, and placed his palms against the top of the sword gourd. "The vertical and horizontal lines on the chessboard are rules. Rules and principles are dead. Go straight. , but the world will make these straight lines curved, and the line in some people's hearts may even turn into a crooked circle. This is called self-justification, so I have read many books in the world and are still unreasonable. There are so many people, and there are also many people who talk to themselves. They can still live a good life because they can still feel at ease and calm. They may even have fewer constraints than those who can abide by the rules. How to live, just follow the rules. Doing it from the heart, as to how it seems to make sense, so that you can live more peacefully, or use it to cover up, so that you can live a better life. There are hundreds of schools of thought in the three teachings, so many books, just find a few in the book In a word, just borrow the principles you want for the time being and use them. What's the difficulty? It's not difficult at all. "
Zhu Lian sighed deeply.
Sitting next to Chen Ping'an again, he put down the wine bottle that he had drunk unconsciously. Zhu Lian put his fists on his knees. The rickety old man looked a little sad.
Chen Ping'an, Sui Youyou, Wei Xian and Lu Baixiang said these heartfelt words. Most of the three of them would not be too caught up in it. Sui Youyou's sword was clear. Focusing on the sword, Wei Xian is even more powerful on the battlefield, and Lu Baixiang is also the founder of the demon sect in Ouhua Blessed Land. In fact, it is not as interesting as talking to Zhu Lian.
< p>Zhu Lian seems to be careless, big and small things are just trivial matters, and he never cares about me. But among the four, Zhu Lian is the one who has seen the most various things in the world.Born into a wealthy family that has been around for generations, he knows the real taste of wealth in the world. He has seen emperors, generals, ministers and ministers up close. He has been gifted in martial arts since he was a child, and he has excelled in martial arts early. However, he still followed his family's wishes, participated in the imperial examination, and easily won the second place in the list. It was an elder of his family who served as the seat master and an important minister, who deliberately postponed Zhu Lian's ranking, otherwise he would be the second place if he had not been the number one scholar. At that time, Zhu Lian was the most prestigious gentleman in the capital. A piece of calligraphy, an article, and a spring outing all moved the hearts of countless women from aristocratic families. As a result, Zhu Lian became a noble Sandan official for several years. , and then found an excuse to travel thousands of miles alone. In fact, he just traveled around, patted his butt, and wandered around in the world.
A bohemian nobleman. Inexplicably, he became the best in the world, and became a difficult obstacle for countless martial arts fairies and heroines in the world.
After that, various countries were fighting, and the mountains and rivers were broken. Zhu Lian left the world and returned to his family to join the battlefield. , became a Confucian general who suddenly emerged. During his six-year military career, Zhu Lian only relied on the art of war, not martial arts, to turn the tide and forcibly general a general.This collapsed building had been supported for many years, but it was just the general trend. Even if Zhu Lian devoted himself to assisting a prince for several years and personally presided over the government, he still could not change the ending of the country. After Zhu Lian finally settled the family, he returned to the world again. , always alone.
According to Zhu Lian's own statement, when he was in his forties or fifties, he was still suave and elegant, with the mellow taste of an old man, and he was still the "Zhu Lang" in the eyes of countless cardamom girls.
Chen Pingan said: "Next we will pass by a mansion where a female ghost sits, with a plaque of 'High Mountains and Beautiful Waters' hanging on it. I plan to only take you with me, and let Shi Rou take Pei Qian to bypass it. On that mountain top, go directly to a place called Hongzhu Town to wait for us."
Zhu Lian was eager to give it a try and asked with a smile: "Well, the young master mentioned this before, but he didn't elaborate on it at the time. , now it seems that it is dangerous, but not a big danger?"
Chen Pingan nodded, "There was a wedding ghost living in that mansion. Baoping and the others passed by me back then. , I have some festivals, so I want to settle it."
Zhu Lian suddenly said: "No wonder the young master has been asking Shi Rou in detail about some of the natal magic skills of the ghosts and ghosts, and he has been going back and forth. Just to keep up the energy, I wrote so many yellow paper talismans."
Chen Ping'an suddenly raised his hand and said, "Shut up."
Zhu Lian was as good as his own. Master, understand yourself.
Last time I didn’t ask the young master what the ghost in wedding clothes looked like, whether she was beautiful or ugly, whether she was fat or thin? Zhu Lian was itching all the time.
After all, in the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, no beautiful female ghost who made her home in the tombs admired me. How could she miss it in the vast world?
However, the Water Goddess of the Baihu River was similar to Shi Rou. Neither the gods nor the female ghost seemed to take a fancy to him. Zhu Lian rubbed his chin and said angrily: "What the hell, here. Women, whether they are ghosts or gods, like to judge people by their appearance?"
Chen Pingan picked up the sword gourd and said, "Go away."
Zhu Lian glanced at the person at his feet. The wine jug said with a bitter face: "Master, my wine jug is empty."
Zhu Lian licked his face and rubbed his hands, "Master, don't worry about the old slave's drinking capacity. In Pei Qian's words, That's the question! One more pot, just to quench my thirst, two pots, three pots, and I'm happy."
Chen Pingan laughed, opened his mouth wide, shook his head, and took a breath. He made an angry movement, then turned his head and said with a look of gloating: "Go drink the northwest wind."
Zhu Lian held it in for a long time, intending to be a loyal minister who remonstrated to death, and refused to do that flattering thing. He was treacherous and said with integrity: "Master, it's really hard for me to flatter you with such an unfunny joke."
Chen Ping'an was slightly moved, took out a bottle of wine from something close by, and threw it to Zhu Lian, asked: "Zhu Lian, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Zhu Lian took the wine and said without hesitation: "A good person."
Chen Pingan smiled Said: "This wine is not given to you for free."
Zhu Lian shook his head and said: "JustEven if there is no pot of wine, the same thing is said. "
Chen Pingan said to himself: "I am a good person. "
Zhu Lian laughed heartily, "Young master, just think that I have flattered you again, don't take it seriously. Drink, drink! ”
An old man from a famous family, and a young man with muddy legs in a back alley, neither of them actually cared about the distinction between master and servant, and they were drinking wine slowly by the cliff.
Zhu Lian wiped his mouth and suddenly said: "Master, will I sing you a hometown song? "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Okay. ”
Zhu Lian quickly took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and then began to sing, shaking his head, which was the official talk of a long-lost court in the land of lotus flowers.
Of course Chen Pingan didn't understand, but Zhu Lian sang leisurely and intoxicatedly. Even if he didn't know the content, Chen Pingan still heard it with a unique charm.
After Zhu Lian finished singing a section, he asked: "Master, what's up? Sample? ”
Chen Pingan nodded and said: “Not bad, not bad.” "
Zhu Lian shook the jug with half a jug of wine remaining, "If the young master can reward me with another jug, the old slave will sing it in Dali Mandarin. ”
Chen Ping’an threw a pot of wine directly to Zhu Lian without saying anything.
Zhu Lian put the pot of wine aside and hummed softly, “**Lamps and candles are like people. Eyes, I saw the lady unbuttoning her buttons, twirling the knots of the belt with her green onion fingers, her chest as white as a peak, her belly soft and soft, poor candlelight could not be seen, her back was smooth and her waist was cinched, hanging a big gourd, little lady
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, thinking about the beloved man who has not returned from the far journey, my heart is like a deer, and my heart and soul are thousands of knots... The lady twisted her waist and looked back at the double pillows, I feel sad when I hold my hands on the top of the mountain. Since one moment is worth a thousand gold, who will earn ten thousand taels? "
Zhu Lian stopped, took a sip of wine, and felt more satisfied.
Chen Pingan asked: "Is this the end? "
Zhu Lian was very surprised and said blankly: "Young Master has no idea of hitting me?
Chen Pingan sneered and said: "I have seen the big world after traveling through so many rivers and lakes. What does this mean? I used to take an Xianjia ferry on the Zulong River under that place." , the gods fighting in the cabin above the head regardless of the day, haha. "
This is called hindsight. In fact, it is all attributed to Zhu Lian, and of course the long time of the Lotus Root Blessed Land.
Zhu Lian asked: " Tell me something? "
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Okay, but give me back the jug of wine first. "
Zhu Lian hesitated for a moment and handed the wine bottle to Chen Pingan.
After Chen Pingan collected the items close to him, "It was really a heart-stirring and brutal fight. "
Zhu Lian waited for a long time, but did not wait for the next step, "No? "
Chen Pingan stood up, "Otherwise? "
Zhu Lian quickly stood up and followed Chen Pingan, "Master, give me back the wine! Just a few pitiful words that were said but not said, not worth a bottle of wine! ”
Chen Pingan ignored Zhu Lian.
On the plank road, a body turned upside down and walked upside down on the sky and earth piles.
Zhu Lian stood there, annoyed. Suddenly turning his head to look at Shi Rou who was sitting and forgetting to practice, Zhu Lian grinned.
Shi Rou opened his eyes and said angrily, "Get away!"
Zhu Lian raised his hand, picked up his orchid fingers, and waved lightly at Shi Rou, "I hate it."
Shi Rou was so disgusted.
Suddenly, after a startling glance, she was stunned.
It turned out that Zhu Lian pressed a finger on his temple and made two movements, one to tear it off and the other to apply it, pausing for a moment in the process.
The old man tugged at Shi Rou, then turned around, put his hands behind his back, hunched over slowly, and started walking alone in the night.
Only a skeletal and beautiful ghost from the past is left, who seems to have seen a ghost.
Zhu Lian tutted in the distance: "What do you mean?"
————
After walking the plank road, we passed Nanyuan Kingdom and Dali. The border of the dynasty is between majestic mountains. Chen Ping'an and Zhu Lian are walking on the mountain road.
Shi Rou has already taken Pei Qian to take a detour and will go along the Embroidered River to Red Candle Town, where they will meet. It's just that Chen Ping'an asked Shi Rou to carry Pei Qian on his back so that he could use his magical powers, so as expected, Shi Rou and Pei Qian must have arrived at the Red Candle Town earlier.
Chen Pingan smiled and talked about an old story. It was on this mountain road that he met three masters and apprentices. The shabby banners of "Wei Dao" turned out to be brothers in trouble, and they were all captured by the ghost of the wedding lady, who took away the mansion where countless red lanterns were hung. Fortunately, both parties were safe and sound in the end. When they parted, the shabby old Taoist priest also gave him a picture of Sou Shan passed down by his master. However, the three masters and apprentices passed by Longquan County, but did not stay in the town. They stayed in the Qilong Lane shop. Over there, they met Miss Ruan Xiu, and finally continued north to Lijing City, saying they wanted to try their luck there.
Deliberately chose a twilight time to climb the mountain. After reaching the original section of the mountain path with a ghost wall, Chen Pingan stopped and looked around, but there was nothing strange.
Chen Pingan was carrying the sword fairy and the bamboo box on his back, feeling that he was half a scholar after all.
However, the ghost in the wedding dress was unmoved. This is normal. Back then, the Wei and Jin Dynasties in Fengxue Temple broke the sky with a sword, and the hero Xu Ruo appeared. The wedding dress must have suffered a big loss. Female ghosts no longer dare to indiscriminately kill passing scholars.
Chen Ping'an thought for a while and said to Zhu Lian: "Go to the high place in the sky and see if you can see that mansion, but I guess it's unlikely. There will definitely be some way to hide it."
Zhu Lian rises from the ground and travels far and wide as a martial artist. This is how he can go to all directions in the world.
After a while, Zhu Lian returned to the path, shook his head and said: "You really can't see it, and you have to waste two talismans from the young master."
Chen Ping'an smiled and took out two talismans. , the Yang Qi Lantern Talisman and the Landscape Barrier Breaking Talisman are twisted separately.The houses are all drawn on yellow paper from the pile of talisman paper given by Li Xisheng.
Pour the accumulated spiritual energy from the Qi Palace where the golden gallbladder is located in the body into one of the Yang Qi Lantern Talisman.
The flames are very small.
Chen Pingan climbed up to the branches of the forest, walked around in a circle, carefully observed the burning speed of the fingertip talisman and the size of the flame, and finally determined a general direction.
Just rely on the guidance of the lantern charm to find the mountain and water barrier of the mansion, just like an ordinary master walking at night with a lantern in his hand to illuminate the road.
Finally, Chen Pingan came to a mountain wall, and the flames suddenly exploded. Chen Pingan flicked his wrist, and the talisman of the Mountain and Water Barrier Breaking Talisman was filled with spiritual energy and shined brightly. Chen Pingan used this talisman to As soon as I pressed against the mountain wall, the scene in front of me changed drastically. The mountain wall melted quickly like snow meeting fire, and a palm-sized hole appeared. Through the hole, I could already see a gloomy valley path inside, which continued. There is evil energy pouring out.
When the Mountain and Water Barrier Breaking Talisman was about to burn, the cave had become the size of a courtyard gate, and Chen Ping'an and Zhu Lian stepped into it.
In the mountain valley with towering ancient trees, Chen Ping'an still held the Yang Qi Lantern Talisman, which still contained more than half of it, and swept forward with Zhu Lian.
Zhu Lian followed Chen Pingan without his feet touching the ground.
Chen Pingan did not elaborate on the grudge with the ghost in wedding dress.
But Zhu Lian had never seen Chen Pingan's true persistence in a "little thing" before.
In order to meet the wedding ghost, Chen Pingan made many arrangements and tricks in advance. Zhu Lian and Chen Pingan had experienced the accident in Laolong City together, and felt that Chen Pingan was also very cautious at Chen Pingan. No matter how big or small, they are all weighing, but the two are similar, but not entirely. For example, Chen Pingan seems to have been waiting for this day for a long time. When this day really comes, Chen Pingan's mentality is rather weird, just like... He Zhu The boxing frame that has the shape of an ape must collapse and shrink before striking in every battle, instead of the ordinary pure martial artist's high-spirited and fist-intending pouring out.
The Yang Qi Lantern Talisman burned faster, when the last bit of ashes fell.
The two finally stood in a square. In front of them was the majestic mansion with a plaque written by an immortal like "Beautiful Water and High Wind". There were two huge stone lions at the door.
Chen Pingan squinted his eyes and looked up at the plaque.
There was once a female ghost in a bright red wedding dress floating there.
She is infatuated, she was once a kind ghost, and she always has her own reasons.
It is said that there was a scholar who was walking at night and recited the poems of sages loudly on the mountain road to embolden himself, and she noticed it.
The scholar and the female ghost have different yin and yang, but they still love each other, and she still put on the red wedding dress willingly.
Chen Pingan twitched his lips.
There is no difference between closeness and distance. This is what Chen Pingan said himself.
Don’t talk about itIt's reasonable. You can live your life as you please. It's your own path to live your life. But if one day you meet someone who is reasonable and has a harder fist than you, then cast a good child in your next life. This is what Chen Ping'an said. of.
Chen Pingan
Zhu Lian couldn't help but turn his head.
Even Zhu Lian, a warrior in the far-traveling realm, felt a strange aura from Chen Ping'an.
Is this the perfect atmosphere of the five realms of pure martial arts?
Like the bright moon rising into the sky.
But this is nothing. Compared with this kind of thing that still falls within the scope of martial arts, Zhu Lian was more shocked by Chen Ping'an's mood and momentum.
The bright moon is like a dragon holding a pearl.
