The autumn wind blows the crab roe fat, now is the best time to eat golden crabs in Chishuicheng. When it is time to eat, the whole city is filled with that unique fragrance.
There will even be some old gourmets who came all the way from the Zhu Ying Dynasty to exchange glasses of wine at various Linshui mansions and restaurants with whom they have good relationships, but the stone closest to Shujian Lake is Hao Country, few people come here to enjoy the delicious food this year, after all, their lives are almost gone.
The Shujian Lake Island Owners Association will be held in about ten days. By then, more than a hundred island owners will board the Gongliu Island where the owner has been absent for many years and elect a king of the world. .
Qingxia Island’s True Lord Jiejiang Liu Zhimao is naturally the highly anticipated candidate.
But this is Shujian Lake. It was only after the pleasant banquet was over that there were more than 400 wild cultivators joining forces to kill the Nascent Soul and the Golden Core Sword Cultivator.
In the past two days, news has come out of Chishuicheng that the little devil Gu is coming to the city to eat crabs. Fan Yan, the young master of Chishuicheng, has begun to spend a lot of money to buy the fattest golden crabs in Shujian Lake, which are golden crabs. The rarest "bamboo branch" among crabs, it is huge and contains abundant water-borne essence. Ordinary fishermen can't even hope to catch one in their lifetime. They can't even see it. It is a treasure that only monks in the cave realm can try their luck to catch.
Now that Qingxia Island is in full swing, Liu Zhimao has stopped expanding in the past year. He is like a man who eats like crazy. He has eaten a little bit and has to digest it first. Otherwise, it may seem like a good situation, but in fact it is. Still a plate of loose sand with unstable hearts, Liu Zhimao remained sober at this point. He screened the Shanze wild cultivators who came to Qingxia Island very strictly. The specific affairs were all handled by one of his disciples named Tian Hujun. nun is taking care of it.
She was Gu Can’s second senior sister at first, and now she has naturally become the senior sister. The senior brother has been beaten to death by his junior brother Gu Can. The position cannot be left vacant. It’s outrageous. It doesn’t sound good to go out.
Nowadays, around Gu Can, there are a large group of young monks and noble disciples with high status. For example, Fan Yan, the young lord of Chishui City, who is hosting a banquet to entertain "Brother Gu", is the only child of the lord. , he is pampered by his wife so much that even the king of heaven and me are not afraid of him. He claims that he will not obey any land gods in this life, but only admires heroes and heroes.
In short, he is a brainless person.
As someone who is almost thirty, he still likes to call Gu Can as Brother Gu. Chi Shuicheng liked to treat the young city lord as a joke.
In addition, there are the fourth senior brother Qin Jue and the sixth senior brother Chao Che from Qingxia Island. They are both outstanding monks from Shujian Lake. They are talented and never show mercy when killing people. They are conquered by Zhenjun Jiejiang everywhere. A capable person.
There is also Lu Caisang, the young junior brother of the Oriole Island owner, who is several hundred years older than the island owner's senior brother. Because he was a disciple of an ancestor before he went into seclusion, he was of a very high seniority.
Oriole Island was one of the few large islands that could compete with Qingxia Island before it was in its heyday. Of course, it is definitely not as powerful as Qingxia Island now.
Yuan Yuan, the young island owner of Guming Island, is nicknamed Yuanyuan. His parents are a couple from Guming Island.There are two monks and monks, the woman's surname is Yuan and the man's surname is Yuan. They are an intruder. Yuan Yuan's mother is a fierce and overbearing existence that gives Liu Zhimao a headache. The key is that this female cultivator is said to have a very good background. Da, she was the concubine of a Nascent Soul sword cultivator in the Zhu Ying Dynasty in her early years.
Han Jingling, the prince of Shihao Kingdom, and Huang He, the son of the general.
Gu Can, the dandy Fan Yan, Qin Jue, Chao Zhe, Lu Caisang, Yuan Yuan, Han Jingling, Huang He, plus the senior sister Tian Hujun who doesn't like to appear in public, but only follows Gu Can's lead.
Except for Mr. Tian Hu, who was dragged in by Gu Can, the other eight people were of the same mind. It is said that at Gu Can’s suggestion, they caught a big rooster from nowhere and made a blood alliance and became brothers. Known as the Ten Heroes of Shu Jian Lake.
Not to mention Shujian Lake, in fact, even the other eight people were murmuring, why are they declared to the outside world as ten heroes when there are obviously nine people?
At that time, the little devil Gu Can was just standing on the second spot with bare feet, jumping up and down, pointing to the vacant top spot, grinning, and said that he would keep this position for now.
This Gu Can is not very old, but after arriving at Shujian Lake, his size has mushroomed like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. He has grown a lot every year. A boy in his teens is already as tall as a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.
There are rumors that the dragon that likes to eat Qi Practitioners as food can feed back the body of the little devil Gu. The only assassination on Qingxia Island that was closest to success was the assassin A slash hit the little devil Gu hard on the back. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely be killed on the spot. Even a Qi practitioner in the lower fifth realm would probably not be able to get out of bed for three or two years, but it would only take half a month. The little devil came out of the mountain again and began to sit on the head of the dragon that he called "little loach" and wander happily around Shujian Lake.
On this day, looking at Shujian Lake from the high-rise building in Chishui City, one can see a huge ship slowly approaching. The ship is as big as the city wall of Chishui City.
Besides the water waves crushed by the hull of the building, there are circles of tiny ripples on the lake more than a hundred feet away from the building, which are difficult to detect.
There is a boy who looks like a boy, wearing a well-fitting dark blue python robe, sitting barefoot on the bow railing, dangling his legs, and will habitually twitch every once in a while. He sniffled, as if he had grown taller with time, but there were still two snot hanging on his face, so he had to take the two little green dragons back to the cave.
There were three people standing behind him, senior sister Tian Hujun. She now controls the life and death of nearly ten thousand people on Qingxia Island and the vassal islands. She already has a majestic aura similar to Zhenjiang Zhenjun. One left To the right, stood her two junior brothers, Qin Jue and Chao Zhe.
After that, there was a row of more than a dozen pretty girls with different auras. They just went out to play and put on a pair of subtle and decent clothes.
And under the lake water around the building boat.
It is a "little loach" hundreds of feet long.
The ferry on the shore has long been occupied by Fan Yan, the young lord of Chishui City, who has expelled allThere were a lot of people waiting, Yuan Yuan, the young island master of Guming Island, Lu Caisang, the young master who was talking to a large group of white-haired old monks on Oriole Island, and Han Jingling, the prince of Shihao Kingdom who had been taking refuge here for half a year, were chatting and laughing on the shore. . The only thing missing is Huang He, the son of the general of Shihao Kingdom. There is nothing we can do about it. Huang He, the man who holds 60,000 elite frontier troops in the southeast of Shihao Kingdom, is said to have just stabbed the emperor of Shihao Kingdom in the back and defected to Dali. The Song family's cavalry also planned to support the prince Han Jingling as the new emperor. They were very busy and Huang He couldn't get away. He just asked someone to send a secret letter to Chishui City, asking his brother Han Jingling to wait for the good news.
The outline of the Chishui City wall is getting clearer and clearer.
Tianhu Jun walked to the boat rail and whispered: "Do you really want to change the route into the city and deliberately give those assassins a chance?"
The young man crossed his arms and grinned. : "Otherwise, do you really think I'm here to eat crabs? It's so fucking annoying that I'm going to vomit after eating it. It's not as delicious as the fried crabs in the creek in my hometown. Each bite is crunchy and crunchy. You don’t even need chopsticks, it’s just a good taste. You guys from Shujian Lake don’t know what you are doing! You just have a few dirty dollars in your pocket. Do you think I need to bring a lot of money with me? Are you a follower?"
Tian Hujun smiled and said, "Junior brother is one of the best among men, so ordinary people like us are naturally not worthy of comparison."
The young man leaned back and turned his head, hehe. She smiled and said: "Senior Sister, even if you say such nice things, you are not qualified to be that girl with a cardigan. She is too ugly and her breasts are too small. She is so pitiful. Just an ordinary mirror can do nothing to ordinary-looking women like you." To me, it’s just a magic mirror.”
Tian Hujun smiled awkwardly, but she didn’t think it was a bad thing.
On a quiet path by the lake far from the ferry, the willow trees turned yellow. A middle-aged man stood beside a willow tree, looking at the building boat on Shujian Lake in the distance. He took off the wine gourd and lifted it up again. Put it down, put it down and bring it up again, just don’t drink.
————
As the local people in Longquan County became more and more familiar with the so-called gods on the mountain, some people chewed the aftertaste and realized that they were not all in the world. Doctors can make ointments that allow people to feel no pain and sleep peacefully during serious illnesses. In particular, people are constantly being admitted to the Longquan Sword Sect. Even among the remaining prisoners of the Lu Dynasty, two children have reached the sky in one step and become little gods on Shenxiu Mountain.
The Yang’s shop was bustling. The seven aunts and eight aunts all took their younger children to the drug store, each with their heads sharpened, looking for gods. Old man Yang, who was sitting in the backyard, was of course the most "suspect". As a result, the Yang family shop almost closed down, and the current head of the Yang family, who had an ancestral saying passed down from generation to generation, almost felt so guilty that he knelt down and kowtowed to Old Man Yang to apologize.
They are all nearby neighbors, or they are familiar faces in the town. Through twists and turns, we can always make some connections. The Yang family is not among the four major surnames and the ten major families in the town. It is just a wealthy and prosperous family. It is difficult for the store clerk to drive people away. Besides, unless they are ruthless and bloody, they really can't be driven away.
It really didn’t work, so the drug store had to find someone to guard the door and persuade him with earnest words. Old Yangtou was not an old god at all, but an old man with a few secret recipes handed down from his ancestors.
Who would believe such deceptive nonsense? The more this happens, the more people become suspicious, and they feel more and more that the old man Yang who likes to smoke and puff is a reclusive master.
Fortunately, Old Man Yang didn’t seem to care much about this, and he didn’t let the head of the Yang family close the shop directly. It costs money to test whether a child has the qualifications to become a god, and it's not cheap. It costs a piece of snow.
People in small towns are used to being poor after all. Even if they suddenly have access to money, they will not be the kind of people who don’t regard money as money if they can think of finding a way for their family’s children and grandchildren. Some people have saved up a thousand taels of silver by selling iron, and some borrowed money from friends who suddenly became rich by selling ancestral items. Fortunately, many people choose to wait and see. Those who went to the drug store with money on the first day, It's not too much. Old Man Yang said a bunch of fairy words that were shrouded in clouds and mist. These are not important. The important thing is that Old Man Yang just shook his head and didn't take a fancy to anyone.
After fewer people came to the door, the drug store began to spread the news again that they would no longer collect snow and spend money. All they had to do was buy a package of medicine from Yang’s store. Everyone was a neighbor, and one pill Snow is indeed a bit more expensive.
As a result, the number of people visiting the house dropped sharply.
The Yang Family Pharmacy must be crazy about money.
Then some people kept going back on their word, going to Yang's shop to beg for the snowflake and spending money, doing whatever they could to make things worse.
The shop is extremely determined on this matter and will not give in even an inch. Let alone a piece of snow money, it is even a piece of copper money. In this world where you and I are willing to buy and sell, is there any reason to refund the money? Do you really think that Yang’s Shop is doing good things?
Everyone hit a wall, but suddenly one day, a guy who was close to Yang’s Shop got drunk and said that he had relied on his connections to get back the fairy money, and that Yang’s Shop Everyone has said that old man Yang is actually a liar who copied a shabby book on physiognomy. Even the rumors at the beginning were deliberately spread by the Yang family store in order to make money for the drug store.
The nest is blown up.
The reputation of Yang's shop fell into disrepute overnight. The children of the Yang family were all like rats crossing the street, complaining endlessly and demanding that the head of the Yang family let the old guy who dared to pretend to be a ghost without the ability to leave the drug store. Get lost.
The head of the Yang family was very talkative and finally managed to appease everyone in the family.
After that, the drug store was finally clean.
It is estimated that no one in the drug store or the old man Yang is willing to ask people to touch their bones and read their faces, and they are too lazy to do anything unless they pay for it, unless the money is enough.
So much so that the drug store replaced two clerks, one was a kiln worker girl from Qilong Lane, and the other was a child from Taoye Lane, and no one cared about them anymore.
These nonsense things are just for outsiders to watch, but for insidersLook at the door when traveling, and look at the road for those who are destined.
A small town man who disappeared for several years and reappeared, the gatekeeper Zheng Dafeng, except that he became a hunchback, did not bring back a wife, nor did he bring back any money from other places. Although Zheng Dafeng was not a shop assistant, he often sat at the door of the drug store with a bench during this period. He would not stop anyone, but would just watch the excitement. He still looked like a carefree person, with a sly look in his eyes, and kept stroking the woman's breasts and buttocks. After posting it, he became even more looked down upon by the women in the small town.
After Zheng Dafeng returned to the town, in addition to seeing this farce, he also saw many people who had made a fortune, staying up all night, gathering people to gamble, and hanging out in the newly built brothels every day, holding their heads high I walked in with my chest held high and my legs were a little weak.
I still had too much money in my pocket to count. My waist was harder than that old locust tree. I used to walk in The men and old bachelors who dare not breathe in Fulu Street or Taoye Lane have the courage to start drinking with the stewards and discuss the possibility of buying one or two decent-looking maids, preferably those who can read. , A woman who can read is better, and if she is a young girl, that is even better. I never dreamed before that I could have a girl with a bookish scent on my bed, but in this life, it’s not a loss! In the past, a bag of copper coins was the uncle, but now all the money is our grandson. Money and everything else are just shit!
Money is like running water, flowing through the hands of different people.
People’s hearts are the same.
After autumn, Zheng Dafeng felt a little sad.
Under the warm autumn sun, Zheng Dafeng lowered his head and glanced at his crotch, feeling even more sad. He always felt sorry for his little brother. Could it be that he really wanted to transform from a handsome young bachelor? Becoming an old bachelor?
I had no reason to think that the woman who finally called herself Jiang on the street outside Chenchen Pharmacy probably weighed twice as much as Zheng Dafeng. Zheng Dafeng was startled. She is a good girl, but there are some things that are really not true. You can deal with it by turning off the light. No matter how good-tempered a girl is, no matter how willing she is to be friends, Zheng Dafeng would rather mistreat his little brother than himself!
When Zheng Dafeng was feeling guilty about his thoughts and about Miss Jiang, today Ruan Qiong suddenly appeared in the backyard of the medicine shop. For the first time, Old Man Yang did not smoke dry cigarettes and was basking in the sun there. Taking a nap, he opened his eyelids and glanced at Ruan Qiong, "Rare guest."
Ruan Qiong carried two bottles of wine and raised his arms.
Old Man Yang shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not good."
Ruan Qiong moved a bench and sat across from the main house, separated from Old Man Yang by a courtyard.
Old man Yang asked: "It's rare that Saint Ruan is restless. Why are you worried about Ruan Xiu?"
Ruan Qiong nodded.
Old man Yang rarely joked, "Is it so difficult to accept Chen Pingan as your son-in-law?"
Ruan Qiong took a sip of wine and said, "Chen Pingan is not a bad person, although I am not She was willing to accept him as a disciple, but she recognized Chen Ping'an's character. If Ruan Xiu wasn't Ruan Xiu, he would have been an ordinary person instead.My daughter, let her go. Maybe... I will often have a drink with this son-in-law, it's not a bad idea. And there is no need to worry about her daughter being wronged. She is only worried that her daughter will be too arrogant and her son-in-law will run away. But my daughter is Xiuxiu. "
Old Yang nodded, "Things are great, but there are worries. I can understand. "
Ruan Qiong drank the veritable wine of sorrow. After taking a big gulp of wine, he wiped his mouth and said dullly: "Because the old god Lord had talked about it before, so this time Cui Han roughly I can guess a little bit about the plan, but I can't figure out the specific sinister intentions, the interlocking and careful arrangements. This is not my strong point, and I don't bother to think about it. However, when it comes to spiritual practice, the most taboo thing is to be sloppy. If my family Xiuxiu gets deeper and deeper, something will happen sooner or later, so this time I asked Xiu Xiu to go to Shujian Lake.
Old man Yang said: "If you are willing to fall in love with me, Cui Chan, a very smart person, will definitely return the favor, don't worry." He will do things beautifully and seamlessly, at least without causing the opposite effect. ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Yang smiled slightly and seemed to remember something
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, “Returning a favor to a favor, Li Dai Tao is stiff, eh , are all a bit chewy. It depends on the person whether they taste like Coptis chinensis or sugar water. "
Ruan Qiong also doesn't bother with such riddles. Let alone him, I am afraid that except for Qi Jingchun, all the three religious figures who sit in Lizhu Cave will not be able to guess this old god. Ruan Qiong never engages in meaningless competition. He is busy enough making iron and swords during his good days, but he also has to worry about Xiuxiu's future. He has so much free time to fight with others.
Old man Yang just said casually and returned to the topic, "If you want to make a break, with the help of Gu Can in Mud Ping Lane, and the unknown plan of the embroidered tiger, let Ruan Xiu and Chen There is a gap between peace and quiet. The more transparent two people's minds are, the more they like to dig into the corners of others. When they are stubborn, flaws as big as sesame seeds will become bigger than the sky. So I didn't stop Ruan Xiu from leaving Longquan County. This is also you Ruan Qiong. It’s human nature to be a father. "
Ruan Qiong sighed for no reason, "This Cui Yi is really amazing. "
He, Ruan Qiong, hopes that his daughter Ruan Xiu will no longer be entangled in the love between men and women, and can practice with peace of mind. As soon as possible, he can reach the upper five realms and have the power to protect himself first.
When I wanted to sleep, someone handed me a pillow.
Ruan Qiong had no contact with Cui Chan, and Cui Chan didn't hint anything.
Everything was Ruan Qiong's voluntary participation in the chessboard. Together with his daughter Ruan Qiong, he serves as one of Cui Chan's chess pieces.
This is Cui Chan's precise calculation and correct prediction in people's hearts. This is the power of a national player outside the chessboard.
p>
Old man Yang said with a smile: "Don't think of the former disciples of Literary Saint as the root of the matter. Half of the rules of the three-fourth war that determined the trend of the entire Haoran world were Cui Chan. It’s formulated, do you think it’s great? But that momentCui Chan was already frightened and a little guilty. He hid here and there, which was very hard. He didn't dare to show up, so he lost the last chance to repair the relationship between master and disciple. Of course, this is not the Wen Sheng's love for Cui Chan. A kind of invisible protection. You see, my great disciple has deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors. He is even more like a lost dog than the sage master was. Are you, the sub-sage lineage, still embarrassed to pester him? Aren’t you yourselves clamoring to have compassion? Then treat Cui Han like a fart. So Cui Chan ran to our Aquarius Island safe and sound. Ruan Qiong, don't look at me like that. The literary saint is capable of such rogue things. So there are so many people worshiping saints, but I only find this gentleman more pleasing to my eye.
Ruan Qiong twitched the corner of his mouth, "The scholar's twisted intestines are probably more winding than all the mountains in the world." ”
Old man Yang chuckled and said: “In addition, the Taoist Qingming World, the Buddhist Lotus World and the Demon Clan’s Barbaric World are all incomparable. ”
This is the first time Ruan Qiong felt that drinking and chatting with this old god was much better than imagined. Can he come often in the future? Anyway, the female university is not good at staying, even if she stays by her side, she will not He was so trusting of his father that every time he thought about it, Ruan Qiong wished he could open a wine shop in a small town, so that he would not have to make fun of a market woman every time he went to the shop to buy wine.
After Ruan Qiong left, Zheng Dafeng walked into the backyard
As a disciple, the first thing Zheng Dafeng did when he returned to the town was to visit his master.
That time. When they met, it was the first time in Zheng Dafeng's life that he dared to look at Old Man Yang, and said some treacherous words calmly, such as saying that even if he had no future in this life, he would either continue to make a living at the inn, or go to Chen Ping'an's mountain of poverty. , continue to be a gatekeeper, and he, Zheng Dafeng, doesn’t feel embarrassed, he is safe and sound, and it’s fine.
Old man Yang was just puffing away, neither saying yes nor doing anything. Don't curse.
After Zheng Dafeng finished speaking, he left the backyard of the drug store. Although he still felt a little guilty, he felt more relaxed than ever before.
Then he felt a little ridiculous. After all, he was an eighth-level martial artist, but he didn't dare to talk to his master like this. Every time he spoke, his master would never speak more than ten words. Zheng Dafeng was afraid that his master would mistake him for being a broken man, and he would look down on him. Just after thinking about it, Zheng Dafeng decided that it would be a good idea to stay in the small town and come to the drug store every once in a while to see the old man, regardless of whether the old man would be annoyed by him.
Zheng Dafeng. He entered the backyard and sat on the bench without saying anything. He planned to sit with his master for a while and then leave.
Although he was holding back his words, Zheng Dafeng knew his master's temper clearly. , as long as the decision is made, let alone Li Er, I am afraid that no one in the world can change the master's mind.
Old man Yang smoked a dry cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and said slowly: " When you went home, didn't you bring a cigarette stick with you? Why did you throw it away? Shameless? ”
Zheng Dafeng was struck by lightningWhen it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the first thing he did was to break his fingers and said in surprise: "Master, you said twenty-two words in one breath today!"
Old man Yang asked: "A meeting How many words can you say about a disciple who dares not even look at him? Are you worthy of being a master?"
Zheng Dafeng sat upright and said, "It is the disciple who has let the master down."< /p>
Old man Yang's next words were as harsh and harsh as ever, "If you don't have hope, how can you be disappointed."
Eight words.
This was the most normal conversation between master and disciple before Zheng Dafeng left his hometown.
Zheng Dafeng did not feel aggrieved, but was still quite happy. Adding these eight words, Master has already spoken thirty words today. When he sees Li Er in the future, he must brag about it!
Old man Yang reached out and threw it away. It was the cigarette rod that Zheng Dafeng secretly threw outside the town. Zheng Dafeng took it in his hand and found that it was even filled with tobacco.
Old man Yang said: "I just want to ask you one thing, do other people deserve to be plotted by Cui Han like this?"
Zheng Dafeng sighed, rubbed his fingers casually, I still have the ability to light tobacco.
Old Man Yang said: "If Chen Pingan had not been shattered, he would have had the qualifications of an earthly immortal. He is not good or bad, but he is not top-notch. Now Chen Pingan's heart is broken and broken. The future of a qigong practitioner is as good as martial arts. The worst is to be completely disheartened. What's wrong with being a lost rich man in Luopo Mountain but living a stable life? "
Master and disciple? Both of them were puffing away, and Zheng Dafeng suddenly said: "This is not good."
Old man Yang sneered: "Oh?"
Zheng Dafeng raised his head and puffed up Courage said: "He is Chen Pingan!"
Old man Yang knocked on the cigarette rod on the steps and said casually: "The real key to choosing Chen Pingan is Qi Jingchun's words. If you touch that existence and choose to gamble on that one, do you really think it is Chen Pingan's qualifications, temperament, talent and circumstances?" Zheng Dafeng responded tit-for-tat, "Qi Jingchun, will you choose Ma Kuxuan, or Is it Mr. Xie who wants to convince that existence? I think Qi Jingchun is embarrassed to say this! So according to Chen Pingan’s theory, if you want to figure out the outcome, you have to go back step by step. Qi Jingchun’s words, Of course it is very important, but can Chen Ping'an's qualifications, temperament, talent and circumstances be ignored? After going out, I realized more and more that the world outside turned out to be more accepting of suffering in the world than the people in the small town. As long as someone After getting rewarded, it is no longer suffering. Those long sufferings and the ups and downs of people's hearts are nothing compared to a realm, a magic weapon, a flying sword, and an opportunity in their eyes. "< /p>
Old man Yang smiled, with cold eyes, "Are these fools worthy of you and me talking about them? A group of ants are fighting for the crumbs of food. How are you going to talk to them? Lie down on the ground. Do you want to tell them? It seems that you are really enjoying your trip."
Zheng Dafeng smiled playfully and quickly changed the subject, "Master has bet a lot on Chen Ping'an, so you are not worried about losing all your money?"
Old man Yang shook his head and said: "I have poor eyesight in business. If you lose, don’t blame heaven and earth."
Zheng Dafeng sighed.
I have already exhausted all my benevolence and righteousness. If I continue to nag about Chen Ping'an, I am afraid it will be counterproductive.
Old man Yang glanced at the rickety man who was in a daze, and revealed the secret in one sentence, "What Cui Zhan wanted, and the knowledge behind him, gave me some good things, which made me very happy. Benefit. I have racked my brains and thought for more than nine thousand years but still couldn't solve the problem. I have thought a lot, but with little success. I might as well have chatted with Cui Chen twice, which is a lot more gain. I have to give it back to Cui. ""
"So even if the little thing I bet on Chen Ping'an loses everything, it still doesn't matter."
Zheng Dafeng asked: " Master, I'm curious, among the many disciples you have accepted, is there anyone who makes you particularly happy or particularly sad? For example, would Master be satisfied with the prospect of his senior brother Li Er becoming a 'god' among the ten realms?"
Old Yang shook his head and said: "No."
Zheng Dafeng pointed at himself and smiled, "What about me? The disciples are so miserable, so I don't feel sad at all."< /p>
Old Yang could only laugh.
Zheng Dafeng's eyes were sad, "Master, although I have been prepared for a long time, I really know the answer, but the disciple is still a little sad."
Old man Yang was too lazy to talk nonsense with this disciple, and suddenly Said: "In order to live, and to live better after living, we have to compete with the world. Childish ignorance, young blood, courage of an ordinary man, chivalry in the world, vigor in the scholar business, loyalty of the general, and gambling by the hero. This can be done without any regrets. But some people insist on it. How do you untie yourself from the knot you are twisted into?”
“It is difficult for today’s cultivators to cultivate their minds. This was also a restriction we set for them back then. It was the reason why they were inferior to ants, but they didn't expect it at the time. It happened to be this kind of worthless thing that became the so-called spark in Cui Han's mouth... Forget it, let's just say that this person's sloppiness is just like that of a mountain climber, wearing Wearing a soaked piece of clothing without delaying the journey, it became heavier and heavier, and the hundred-mile mountain road was half ninety. In the end, how to wring it out, feel refreshed, and continue climbing is a big question. No one thought that these ants could really climb to the top of the mountain. Of course, they might have thought of it, but for the sake of immortality, they didn't care. They mistakenly thought that the ants climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the beautiful buildings and jade buildings in the sky. Without wings, there is still a long way to go from the top of the mountain to the sky. It won't be too late to just crush him to death. The original plan was to fatten up Qiu Fat and then go hunting and have a good meal. Dun, in fact, after countless years, it is still very stable. The decay of the golden bodies of countless gods has been slowed down, and the world is expanding in all directions. But what will be the final outcome? You have alreadySaw it. ”
When Old Man Yang said this, he didn’t feel much anger or sorrow. He was calm and gentle, like an outsider, talking about the biggest secret in the world.
Zheng Dafeng asked cautiously: "Why don't the saints of the three religions eradicate the master? ”
Old man Yang smiled and said: “Now, does it make sense for you to ask such a big question? Shouldn't you think carefully about why you shouldn't be a bachelor? "
Zheng Dafeng said with a smile: "Master can also tell funny things.
For the first time, Old Man Yang showed a look of helplessness, and his wrinkled face became more and more wrinkled, "It's not because of the nagging of Li Er, that disgusting woman." "
Zheng Dafeng asked softly: "Sister-in-law too? "
Old man Yang sneered: "If she were, wouldn't I treat her like a pig or a dog for the rest of her life? Just because I'm just a street shrew who makes you miserable, I don't care. "
Zheng Dafeng was relieved.
Old man Yang said: "What Gu Can is to Chen Pingan is what Chen Pingan is to Qi Jingchun. It happens to be the dead end of a dead end. "
Zheng Dafeng frowned and said: "Gu Can and Chen Ping'an, their personalities are too different, right? "
The man shook his head, "It's different, it's different.
Old man Yang smiled and said: "If you don't talk about good and evil, look back, will it really be different?" "
Zheng Dafeng fell into deep thought.
Zheng Dafeng's eyes gradually became firm.
Old man Yang shook his head and said: "Don't get involved, even if you, Zheng Dafeng, are already It's useless for martial artists in the ten realms. Even if Wen Sheng wanted to help Chen Ping'an, he still couldn't help in this situation that had nothing to do with killing or life and death. It doesn't matter whether you have great knowledge or high cultivation level. Because the altar of the consecrated person in the Confucian Temple was smashed, the intellectual foundation of the Confucian Saint himself was actually still there. Of course, the literary sage could use a great knowledge to temporarily cover Chen Pingan's current knowledge and subdue the evil dragon in his heart, but in the long run, the gain outweighs the loss, and it is easy to go astray and kill Chen Pingan.
Old Yang glanced at the sky, "The visiting Master Lu can help Chen Pingan embark on another path, but Chen Pingan himself will not agree." ”
“And one thing Chen Pingan guessed accurately is that what Master Lu wanted most was the Chen Pingan chosen by Qi Jingchun. Naturally, it was not Chen Pingan himself. Going to Bai Yujing, it's better, becoming a puppet, eleven realms and twelve realms, is not impossible. But if you are a bit worse, you may not be able to escape from the hands of Master Lu for the rest of your life, and you will use it to observe Taoism. "
Zheng Dafeng snorted, "It's like a man. The more awkward a woman is when she doesn't get it, the more beautiful she looks. Got it, that's really all. "
Old man Yang said for no reason, "There are many brothels in small towns now. "
Zheng Dafeng's face turned red, "Master, I just talk a lot, but I'm not that kind of person!" ”
Old Man Yang asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic, "What do the four plaques of Crab House and the Three Religions family hang in the town?"
Zheng Dafeng replied: "Confucianism The Taoist's hope is natural, the Buddhist's is not to ask for help, and the military's anger is bullfighting."
Old man Yang asked with a smile: "Think about it carefully."
Zheng Dafeng thought for a moment, "Doing my duty is one of the key reasons why Chen Ping'an is trapped in this situation..."
Old man Yang smiled, "Taoism is about pursuing the great road alone and harmonizing with the world. It's beautiful. Isn’t it beautiful? That’s why I said that Master Lu’s Taoism can save Chen Ping’an for a while. I don’t even care about the life and death of a kid from Mu Ping Alley. Wen Sheng scolded that Lu? In my opinion, this is not the case. In the early days, this might have been the case for Master Lu, who was seeking enlightenment in the land of the vast world. However, when he went out on a boat to the sea, things started to change and he really began to gain understanding. Forgetting its shape, it is incomparably close to Taozu's path, so he can become Taozu's favorite disciple. As for the Buddhist teaching derived from the Buddhist saying, it seems to be a method that Chen Pingan can hope to break through, but in fact it is not the case. Cui Chang must have thought of it. , there are countermeasures already. As for the angry bullfight..."
Zheng Dafeng lowered his voice, "What about her?"
Old man Yang said with an expressionless face: "She doesn't care at all. Maybe she wishes that Chen Ping'an would be more happy. As long as Chen Ping'an doesn't die, she would be happy to see it happen."
Zheng Dafeng scratched his head, "After all, Chen Ping'an is definitely the one. Is it over?"
Old man Yang said with a smile: "When the time comes, a rich man is guarding the mountain, and you guard his mountain gate, eating and drinking, isn't it good?"
Zheng Dafeng suddenly raised his head and stared at the old man, "Master deliberately wants the evil dragon to rise in Chen Pingan's heart to temper the heart of the sword. If he doesn't talk about the benevolence, righteousness and morality that binds his hands, Chen Pingan will only feel that the sky is huge. , it makes sense to only have a sword in hand, so that you can help that existence and throw away the scabbard of Chen Ping'an earlier, right?" Old Yang smiled and said: "You can think of this step, It seems that he has made some progress."
Zheng Dafeng said tremblingly: "Is this what she asked for?"
Old man Yang shook his head, showing a look of emotion and nostalgia, and murmured. Said: "She
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Why would she care about this? She doesn't care. She... is her."
< p>Zheng Dafeng looked sad, "Poor, really pitiful."He thought of the young man sitting opposite him on the bench under the eaves in Chenchen Pharmacy, eating melon seeds and looking at him with a smile. Everyone in the courtyard.
He always felt that after suffering such a huge disaster, the young man should live a comfortable and comfortable life for a few days.
Who would have thought that from the moment he left Old Dragon City, there would be a more terrifying situation waiting for Chen Ping'an than Du Mao in the Ascension Realm and his natal sword-swallowing boat.
It’s autumn.
It’s autumn hunting.
Old man Yang said calmly: "Nowadays, with the advent of the great chaos in the world, there will come a time when everyone doesn't like to talk about the truth, and feels that it is useless to know the truth. Those fools will pretend to be truth. Those evil people who come to satisfy their own selfish desires will follow the basic truth and find out. If you don't eat, you will die, and if you don't drink water, you will die. Fortunately, people have a bad memory. . The pain is forgotten soon, and the world goes on like this. Ten thousand years have passed, and it still hasn’t gotten better."
Zheng Dafeng said tremblingly: "Okay? "?"
Old man Yang smiled, "Am I a human being?"
Zheng Dafeng was speechless.
Old man Yang asked again, "Are you a human being?"
Zheng Dafeng remained silent.
Zheng Dafeng finally left the shop and walked to Mubo Alley, passing Chen Pingan's ancestral home and Gu Can's ancestral home.
Old man Yang was puffing away alone in the yard.
Ten thousand years ago, there were clusters of divine brilliance in the sky, vast and bright, and the stars were bright.
How can those insignificant human beings in the world, just little sparks, win?
Cui Yi gave the answer.
Old man Yang has to admit it even if he doesn’t want to admit it.
The guy who can give that answer is probably somewhere in Shujian Lake by now.
————
On the top floor of a high-rise building with a wide view in Chishui City, the door opened, and there sat a young man in white with a mole between his eyebrows, and an old man in a Confucian shirt. Looking out at the magnificent scene of Shujian Lake.
Cui Dongshan, Cui Chan.
The two people today were once the same person, Xiuhu, the master of the Great Li Kingdom, and the first disciple of the Wen Sheng in the past.
Cui Dongshan looked solemn and used the flying sword Golden Spike to draw a small thunder pond around himself to remind himself that no matter what happened, he could not get out of this circle.
Cui Han glanced at Cui Dongshan and said with a smile: "As expected of a gentleman and a student, both of them like to draw the ground as a prison."
Cui Dongshan gritted his teeth and said: "I lost, I I must admit that you have lost, but don’t bully others and refuse to admit it!”
If this old bastard hadn’t set up this game forcibly and not given him any room to refuse, how would he, Cui Dongshan, be willing to do it again? Gambling table? He now despises the term "elder brother" the most, and is even more unwilling to die in betting on big winnings.
But the old bastard doesn’t agree, what can Cui Dongshan do?
On the other hand, if Cui Dongshan was sitting in Cui Han's position, he thinks he would do the same.
How can I not understand myself?
This bet between Cui Dongshan and Cui Han is very simple. They have to distinguish one priority, that's all, it doesn't involve life or death.
This is also Cui DongThe reason why Shan is unwilling to break the jar is precisely what Cui Dongshan hates about himself the most. "A person" knows where his bottom line is better than any outsider.
If Cui Chan loses, from now on, Cui Chan will be allowed to cede territory and become king in the Sui Dynasty, and not only Cui Chan, but the entire Dali Song Dynasty will bet on Chen Safety. Chen Pingan is worth the price. The last time we met, Cui Zhang said with a smile, "Even I thought it was a dead end. Chen Ping'an was able to break it, so he naturally deserves my 'admiration'. Such a being cannot be beaten to death casually, so..." The other extreme is to try to win over him. "
If Cui Dongshan loses, he must leave the mountain and help Cui Han strategize and conquer the Zhu Ying Dynasty. After passing the Guanhu Academy, the Great Li Cavalry dispatched forces to suppress all parties south of the Great Li and north of the Guanhu Academy, quickly digesting the heritage of half of the Aquarius Continent, and turning it into one that truly belonged to the Great Li. Internal national strength.
Cui Dongshan still wants to follow the path of meritorious service and become the founding disciple of Cui Chan's theory of meritorious service.
Why is the Xianjia ferry in Qingluan Kingdom so slow? Why are there no direct ferries to Shujian Lake in Laolong City, Qingluan Kingdom, and Huangting Kingdom? Why did Chen Ping'an refine the second natal object in Sui Academy? Why did Longquan County suddenly start a new round of buying and selling mountains?
It’s all because Shujian Lake has everything in place, not even the east wind.
But in this process, everything needs to be in line with the general trend of the continent and be reasonable. It is not Cui Yi who is forcing the layout, but under the premise of Cui Dongshan personally watching, Cui Yi takes steps step by step, every step , it can’t be that unreasonable hand.
Da Li, who had already secretly infiltrated Shujian Lake, is now quietly closing the net.
As an important piece of land adjacent to the Zhuying Dynasty, Shujian Lake has long been in the eyes of the Great Li Imperial Master.
Liu Zhimao, the True Lord of Jiejiang, wanted to unify Shujian Lake. After unifying the world, who will I leave it to? Naturally, it was sold to the emperor's family for a sky-high price.
This is the emperor’s house, which is a bit far away from Shujian Lake. Will the Emperor's family change hands and sell it again, and to whom? It is the Jade Guizong of Tongyezhou. The Jade Guizong planned to choose a geomantic treasure land in Aquarius Continent as the opening address of the next sect. There are already three sites selected, one is Longquan County, which is divided into two, and Ruan Qiong and Yu Guizong are divided equally. One is somewhere near the Yunlin Jiang family and the Qingluan Kingdom. The last one is Shujian Lake.
Liu Zhimao has an ambitious nature. Over the years, he has been aggressive and wooed, and has combined kindness and power. He has become the overlord of the Shujian Lake. The last time he killed the killer, there was Da Li again. The help of the monks is expected to be the final word.
Ruan Xiu should have been added to stand on the opposite side of Gu Can. He should have waited until the latest king of the world was elected and experienced a series of killings with the oriole behind him.
It doesn’t matter.
Originally Ruan Xiu is not on the chessboard. It doesn’t matter whether she is present or not. At best, she is the winner.Just icing on the cake.
Originally, Chen Pingan was supposed to have arrived in Longquan County, happily bought one or two hills, practiced boxing at Luoluo Shanzhu Tower, and chatted with the two little guys, enjoying themselves.
Then he will suddenly hear bad news from Shujian Lake. A big melee in Shujian Lake begins. The young Gu Can is deeply involved in it and exerts considerable influence. .
After that, Chen Ping'an hurriedly took an immortal ferry that "happened to pass by" Niujiao Mountain. Through Wei Bo's personal relationship, he spent a lot of immortal money and ventured across the territory of Aquarius Continent. , came to this Shu Jian Lake.
By that time, the situation will be more complicated and difficult to solve than it is now.
Because more people died.
Maybe Ruan Xiu will be added.
Cui Chan said with a smile: "It still doesn't matter, the overall situation has been decided, just pretend that I can't bear to kill you Cui Dongshan with a stick, so as to save you from changing the path, which will be too long and delay Bao." The general trend of Pingzhou."
Cui Chan shifted his gaze and looked at a path by the lake. With a smile on his face, he said slowly: "You, Chen Pingan, stand upright and are willing to do everything. Be reasonable. Do you want to be a Buddhist? That's up to you!"
"There is no difference in the truth you are close to. A person has made a big mistake, a huge mistake, but that person seems to have some reasons of his own. What should you, Chen Pingan, do at this time? Does the truth you Chen Pingan have always insisted on still work? I am very curious. I'm looking forward to it."
"Should I go to those messy literati's writings or the so-called warning quotes to find some truths I want?"
Cui Chanmi? He raised his eyes and said, "You and I can wait and see."
Cui Dongshan sneered: "A good gentleman can bully others."
Cui Chan said to himself: "Back then, the small town In that test, for Chen Pingan, it was mostly external temptations and not pure enough, so we lost so miserably. In the final analysis, I underestimated a backstreet boy, and I, we, were the ones who chose him. You should be more cautious. So in this current test, you only have to ask your heart."
Cui Dongshan was not kept in the dark by that old bastard at all. In fact, every step of the way. Cui Zhang would tell Cui Dongshan straightforwardly.
The more this happened, the more Cui Dongshan felt that he was waiting to die.
So when Chen Pingan and the four scrolls arrived in Qingluan Kingdom, Cui Dongshan finally couldn't sit still. He couldn't just watch himself become a vassal of the old bastard.
So he suddenly appeared in that quiet and peaceful village.
After that, it was until Chen Pingan arrived at Cliff Academy.
Cui Dongshan cheated twice.
One time, it was also "naturally" using the Buddhist and Taoist debates in Qingluan Kingdom to talk about Legalist knowledge. That separation, he, Cui Dongshan, secretly handed Pei Qian the tips bag, and there was a sentence written on the note inside.
The second time was when we reunited at Shanya Academy and persuaded Chen Pingan to read more than a dozen "serious scriptures" from the three religions and hundreds of schools. The real intention was to secretly recommend to Chen Pingan the few Buddhist scriptures. .
It is already an extravagant hope to break this situation, so take a step back and let Mr. Chen Pingan keep his Taoist heart at least. Cui Dongshan knew that he was struggling hard and gave two possibilities.
One is a legalist, right and wrong, and the other is based on the law, there is no distinction between closeness and distance.
The first is Buddhism, the theory of cause and effect, all living beings suffer, all kinds of causes yesterday, all kinds of consequences today. There are various causes in the previous life and various effects in this life. Those innocent people's misfortunes today are caused by their sins in past lives, and this is how it should be.
In fact, Cui Dongshan’s cheating was even more subtle.
It was the most ingenious time in the courtyard of Shanya Academy.
At this moment, Cui Zhang looked at the Qingxia Island boat slowly approaching the ferry on the lake, and smiled and said: "You cheated twice, I can pretend not to see it, I will The general trend is overwhelming you, and you will inevitably be dissatisfied, so what if I let you two sons go?" Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "You old bastard, you really have a generous tone, I like it, I like it! Otherwise, if you give me another chance, it won't be a big deal. How about that?"
Cui Chan looked at the building and said, "I've already given in, but I just said it out loud because I'm afraid you, a brat, won't be able to show it off. ."
Cui Dongshan looked ugly.
Cui Chan said to himself: "In the courtyard of Donghua Mountain, you deliberately lured two naughty and lively children to smear on your fairy painting scroll, and then you deliberately used A picture of a skeleton cooling off in the summer scared Pei Qian, and he deliberately overheated himself, and then he was beaten and scolded by Chen Pingan. Chen Pingan's performance must make you very happy, right? Because he has come such a long way, But he didn't stick too much to the dead truth in the book. He knew that a gentleman's song and extension are indispensable. He also knew what "when in the country does as the Romans do" means, you smiled so much that Cui Dongshan didn't care about those scrolls at all. In your eyes, they were worthless. It's worth it, and Chen Pingan is willing to treat you as one of his own, so it seems that Chen Pingan is unreasonable. It was clearly Pei Qian and Li Huai who made the mistake first. Why did he talk to you, Cui Dongshan, about the fundamental truth of the order? It's called "doing as the Romans do when you're in the countryside", and the principles of the world must be in line with those "non-wrong" human feelings. Your intention is nothing more than to ask Chen Ping'an to think carefully about why Gu Can is in this letter after knowing what he did. How did Hu become a little devil who killed innocent people indiscriminately? Is it possible that the world is like this and Gu Can is not that wrong?" Cui Dongshan looked solemn.
Cui Chan smiled and said: "But is this really useful? Do you really think your move is very good? You are wrong. This move of yours was a good move for the boy from Mud Bottle Alley back then. For Chen Pingan, who now has a sense in his heart as a ballast, adding fuel to the fire will only make him think more.Deep, and even more at a loss in the end. Cui Dongshan, until now, haven't you seen the really interesting part of my game? "
Cui Han looked calm and never turned his head to look at Cui Dongshan, let alone acted aggressively, "What's interesting? Regarding the word "Huo Hou", the complexity of the truth lies precisely in the fact that it can be said that when one goes to the countryside, do as the Romans do, it is dispensable, the truth can be said or not, and the principles of law, the laws of a place, and the principles of oneself can all be confused. Shujian Lake is a lawless place. Secular laws do not apply, let alone the teachings of sages and sages. Even the rules established among the many Shujian Lake islands will not apply. Here, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, people eat people, people do not treat people as people, everything depends on their fists, almost everyone is killing and being coerced, no one is exception. "
"These can all be valid reasons for Chen Ping'an to "step back and seek peace of mind." These are the leeway I deliberately gave to Chen Ping'an. I gave him countless possibilities to choose. The avenues and forks were all laid out at his feet, and no one stopped him. In this way, I can teach him to feel for himself that there seems to be no absolute truth in the world. I just want him, Chen Ping'an, to go to Gu Can and have to choose to deny himself and accept the world's set of opinions and opinions. A bastard theory of right and wrong. "
Cui Chan smiled and said: "A good person who is reasonable meets a world that believes in fists in his heart and only talks about reason. Then this good person has a bloody head, tied his own hands and feet, and painted the ground as a prison. I will Let’s see how Chen Ping’an talks about disappointment and hope in the end. "
Cui Dongshan smiled miserably, "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. "
Cui Chan then spoke eloquently, every sentence, like knives inserted into Cui Dongshan's heart.
"Gu Can's mother, that bowl of kindness back then, Chen Pingan feels that she has been a life-saving benefactor to you. "
"You have as much affection for Gu Can as Liu Xianyang, and you treat Gu Can as your biological brother. ”
“Even that loach was the one you personally gave to Gu Can back then. ”
“Since you Cui Dongshan secretly used Buddhist principles to save Chen Ping’an, can you really save him?” Doesn’t Chen Ping’an believe in the saying on that archway: Don’t ask for help from outside? The cause and effect of those who died in vain can be explained, but once you escape Zen and want to give yourself a Buddhist peace of mind outside of Confucian principles, the problem comes again. You can't think of the earliest cause and effect related to you. Want it? Can't you see it? "
"It doesn't matter if Chen Pingan pretends not to see it, because Chen Pingan has lost the innocent heart that Qi Jingchun cherishes the most. The winner and the loser have been decided between you and me. "
"If Chen Pingan really can't see it, it doesn't matter, I will find someone to remind him. "
Cui Zhang finally concluded the coffin, his tone was normal, but he was not too happy, "This time, no one can save him, not even Chen Ping'an himself. "
Cui Dongshan sat aside without saying a word.
Cui Han finally turned his head and said with a smile: "Young man, you must be energetic., why are you more angry than me now? "
Cui Dongshan closed his eyes, his face full of tears, and whispered softly: "May your mood, sir, be like spring all the year round..."
The boat on the lakeside building has stopped. On the other side, the "middle-aged man" named Chen was standing under the willow tree with yellow leaves in the distance. He finally stopped drinking. After putting the wine bottle back on his waist, he hesitated.
He is seventeen this year. Years old.
Cui Chan stood up, stretched out a palm, and said with a smile: "Please enter the urn!" ”
