Along the gurgling river that looks like a green silk ribbon, Zhang Jing and Chen Pingan, who came from afar, walked side by side.
Perhaps it is this paradise, with pleasant scenery, tranquility and peace, or perhaps it is the accountant who is half a family member beside him. The old monk Zhang Jing, who has experienced countless storms, gradually calms down. , slowly told Chen Ping'an about the incident in Shujian Lake.
It turns out that everyone underestimated Su Gaoshan's appetite. This one of the great Li cavalry generals who had been eyeing the Zhu Ying Dynasty took over the capital of Shihao Kingdom with almost no effort. , not only turned his horse's head, but his cavalry took advantage of the situation and drove straight into another Zhu Ying vassal state. Even if the war was as tragic, there was still that "leisure and leisurely" person who came to the Shujian Lake in person, and showed up publicly, threatening to wipe out the Shujian Lake, and those who obey will prosper and those who rebel The truth is as simple as death. The so-called obedience is even more straightforward. Shu Jian Hu Ye Xiu, who is willing to hand over all his family wealth, can survive and "cleanse his body and leave home". Leaving Shu Jian Lake, he is willing to hand over half of his property and become a The lowest monks accompanying the army in Da Li and the wild cultivators who attacked the Zhu Ying Dynasty can stay in Shujian Lake for the time being, but after the current ownership of the mountains, whether they need to move the mountain gate and the ancestral hall, they still need to obey the dispatch of Da Li cavalry.
As for Gongliu Island, in the late spring of this year, a group of secretive foreign monks appeared and became guests of Gongliu Island. With Su Gaoshan's appearance, the whole group Tens of thousands of wild cultivators in the Book Slip Lake were talking nonsense. Just last night, under the personal leadership of Liu Laocheng, they attacked Qingxia Island without any warning. One of the old monks, after Liu Laocheng broke through the landscape formation of Qingxia Island, , whose magic skills reach the sky, he must be a monk in the upper five realms. With one blow, he was able to destroy almost the entire Hengbo Mansion. After that, the monk who was waiting for help formed an array with more than a dozen magic weapons and fought hard. Liu Zhimao, who was defeated and wanted to escape, intercepted and captured him, and escorted him to Gongliu Island. Seeing the bad opportunity, Zhang Tao did not go to die, but sneaked out through a secret underwater passage on Qingxia Island and hurried to Shihao Country. , found Chen Pingan with the help of the jade plaque.
Chen Ping'an said nothing. After listening to all Zhang's story, he asked: "What's Liu Laocheng's attitude?"
Zhang Chen shook his head and said: "From then on Afterwards, I found out that almost all the immortal monks from Shu Jian Lake had never spoken a word, let alone seen a local from Shu Jian Lake, from the moment they landed on Gongliu Island to the time when they captured our island owner back to Gongliu Island. "Monk."
Zhang Jin sighed: "Although I hate Liu Laocheng very much, I have to admit that this is the skill of a high-level wild cultivator."
Chen Pingan said: "There should be a lot of wild cultivators in Shujian Lake now, who are cursing Liu Laocheng as a traitor in Shujian Lake and a lackey of Da Li."
Zhang Ding smiled bitterly, "There are more than a thousand islands and tens of thousands of wild cultivators. Everyone has too much time to take care of themselves. They are almost scared out of their wits. It is estimated that just mentioning Liu Laocheng and Su Gaoshan now will make people tremble."
Zhang Dao Shaking his head gently, "There are not many left in Shujian Lake.A little bit of backbone and backbone, it’s all over. Just like the extremely dangerous and sincere cooperation earlier, when they worked together to kill the foreign Nascent Soul cultivator and the Golden Core Sword Cultivator, we will never talk about it at the wine table in the future, Liu Laocheng, Liu Laothief! I really can't imagine what kind of benefits it would take to make Liu Laocheng do this and sell the entire Shujian Lake! The concierge girl at Zhu Xian Mansion, Hong Su, was the one who I was ordered to go out for. I searched hard for ten years before I found the reincarnation of the previous woman, the King of Jianghu, and brought her back to Qingxia Island. Therefore, I know that Liu Laocheng is interested in Shujian Lake. It's not as indifferent as the rumors outside. ”
Zhang Ding looked bleak and stopped, squatting by the river, washing his face with water, looking in a daze.
The current situation is different from that when he and Liu Zhimao were at Shujian Lake for the first time. After working so hard, the island sank to the bottom of the lake, which seemed to make Zhang Qi worried and helpless.
As you get older, your spirit will inevitably weaken.
Especially. Zhang Jing only has a life span of a few years, and he is willing to be cut off if he wants to die together. But will he be allowed to do it? With just one finger, he can be considered a prominent figure in Shujian Lake. The Dragon Gate Realm monk was wiped out on the spot.
Chen Pingan held the horse with a sword on his waist and said calmly: "As long as someone like Liu Laocheng makes up his mind to return to Shujian Lake, he will definitely not be the one. For the sake of a river and lake monarch, when he landed on Qingxia Island to suppress Gu Can and the descendant of the true dragon, it was just a dispensable cover-up. In fact, if there had been that attack or not, all the wild cultivators in Shujian Lake would have been left to die and be slaughtered. Because except for Liu Zhimao, almost no one saw the sweeping trend of Aquarius Continent, and thought that Shujian Lake could stay out of the matter. Maybe it was better to think that the world outside was in chaos, so that it would be easier to fish in troubled waters, just like this Shihao Kingdom war. How many letters Hu Yexiu took the opportunity to infiltrate, I believe many people have eaten a lot, but they didn't expect that just after making a fortune, someone would have their house confiscated, and they didn't know the hard work accumulated over hundreds of years. Who are you working for? ”
Zhang Dao, who had been squatting by the river, said helplessly: “It’s not entirely the fault of Shu Jianhu’s poor eyesight. To put it bluntly, in addition to our Qingxia Island, there are also Qingzhong and Tianmu Island from the hostile camp.” , if you want to hug the thigh of the Li cavalry, it depends on whether you are willing to stretch your legs and feet, and whether you can walk through the temple gate while carrying the pig's head. "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "That's true.
Zhang Dao stood up and exhaled, "But if you are really smart and dare to bet big, come to Shihao Country as soon as possible to contact the Great Li Cavalry and take the initiative to submit a letter of surrender to a certain general." Just become a familiar face, and then as long as he is recorded as a spy of Dali Luboting, he will make a lot of money now. In the future, Shujian Lake will re-divide the power, and there will be indispensable benefits. That is the real fat belly, with a huge profit. Our Qingxia Island has actually done very well, but the loser is that we have never been able to contact Su Gaoshan, and we only stayed at Tan Yuanyi's side on Lisu Island. Coupled with Liu Laocheng's intervention, Shan Jiuren fell short. ”
Chen Pingan frowned and thought deeply. He was silent for a moment and asked doubtfully:"Senior Zhang, do you know that in our Aquarius Continent, in the past ten years, have there been any major sect-headed fairy houses that want to change the address of the sect? Even if there is a little bit of similar signs, it seems to be a rumor, Have you heard of it?"
Zhang Jin shook his head and said: "No, for example, as the leader of our mountain in Aquarius, the old master of Shengaozong has just become the king of heaven, and he is as stable as a mountain. The Shen Gao Sect is another group of Taoist immortals who have cultivated purity, and there has never been any sign of expansion. Previously, I heard the island owner chatting, and the Shen Gao Sect seemed to have recalled a group of Taoist priests with genealogies, which was very unusual. The island owner even speculated whether it was the Shen Gao Sect. The sect has discovered a new Cave Heaven Blessed Land and needs to send people into it. In addition, Zhenwu Mountain, Fengxue Temple, Yunlin Jiang Family, and Laolongcheng do not seem to have such signs."
Chen Pingan. Head, "I understand."
Zhang Jing's heart strings went from tense to suddenly relaxed, extremely tired, and he looked haggard.
As soon as he saw the face of the accountant next to him, Zhang Zhi smiled. Mr. Chen never complained. If he acted like a little lady, wouldn't he have lived in vain for hundreds of years? ?
Zhang Jing told Chen Pingan that the last discussion with Liu Zhimao in Hengbo Mansion was not to say good things for Liu Zhimao, but to say whatever the facts were.
The old people in Shujian Lake left one by one, and the newcomers became more domineering than the last. Zhang Jing, who was the first to be a serious Immortal Master of the Eight Classics Genealogy, could not find anyone with whom he could chat, and he never wanted to leave. , and also met a "cultivation person" who was as thankless as himself. As soon as he started chatting, he talked a little too much. Paying attention to the look of the thin young man, and seeing that he was not impatient, Zhang Ding felt relieved.
Chen Pingan has been listening patiently.
When Zhang Ding had nothing to say, Chen Ping'an reminded him softly: "Senior Zhang had better not return to Shujian Lake. It won't help anything. It's better to stay far away." Let’s wait and see what happens.”
Zhang Dao shook his head and said with emotion: “Where else can I go? Qingxia Island is my home, and I wouldn’t mind staying there if nothing like this happened. Around Shujian Lake, find a summer resort similar to that of a prince in the world, and spend the rest of your life peacefully."
Chen Ping'an hesitated, "Senior Zhang, I have a digression, in the eyes of you Longmen Realm old monks. , or did Liu Zhimao mention it, can you feel something about the time and place along the way, and vaguely see a little... weather?"
Zhang Zhi shook his head, "The island owner never said that. At least I have never been able to do this. When it comes to the flow of Qi in a place, it is a special skill of the gods of mountains and rivers. I think even the earth gods cannot see it clearly. As for the island owner, who is only one step away from being able to reach the upper five realms. It’s hard to say whether the great monk can do it or not. After all, when a god looks at mountains and rivers, he only sees physical objects and does not involve the ethereal Qi.”
Chen Ping’an hesitated and hesitated to speak. .
Zhang Jing suddenly laughed and said: "Why, Mr. Chen, it is so difficult to be a good person. It is obviously for the sake of others, but it is worse than one's own family affairs."Want to weigh more carefully? Mr. Chen, there is a saying, I didn’t know each other well before, so I can’t tell you. Now, we are not friends at all. It’s just that it’s hard to say whether Zhang will live or die tomorrow, so I’m not polite to you, and I want to be with you. Said, said. "
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Senior Zhang just talks. "
Zhang Ding stared at the young man in front of him. He didn't speak for a long time. He let out a laugh and said, "Suddenly, I have nothing to say. What should I do? ”
Chen Pingan had no choice but to take off his sword-raising gourd and drink wine to refresh himself.
Even just hearing about the incident on Qingxia Island was very energy-consuming and affected the whole body. Since then, many Calculating is even more laborious.
Chen Pingan said: "There is a hilltop that has just migrated to the east of Falcon Mountain. I saw some strange phenomena there. If Senior Zhang can trust me, why not go first? Staying there is just a way to relax. The worst outcome now is that Liu Zhimao dies on Gongliu Island and is killed as a warning to the monkeys. No one can stop what the old man will do at that time, let alone me. It is better than going back now, which may be regarded as an invisible provocation and taken to the Gongliu Island water prison. The old man may not be afraid of this, but will be more interested because he can see Liu Zhimao
(This chapter Not finished, please turn the page)
I am happy to see it, but since Qingxia Island is only suffering from Hengbo Mansion and has not completely collapsed, even the vassals including Sulin Island have not been affected, which means Once there is a turning point in the future, Qingxia Island needs someone to step forward. I am unable and unwilling to do so, but Zhang Jin, Liu Zhimao's most trusted old man on Qingxia Island, can convince everyone even if his level is not high. ”
Zhang Jing thought about it carefully, nodded, and laughed at himself: “I just have a hard life.” "
Zhang Ding suddenly told Chen Ping'an in a heartfelt voice, "Be careful over there on Gongliu Island, someone is using me as bait. If it's true, I don't understand why the other party made such unnecessary moves instead of simply using Gu Can and Chunting Mansion as bait. There must be a reason for such twists and turns. Of course, Mr. Chen should have thought that I was just getting an advantage and being nice, hoping for peace of mind. The moment I left Qingxia Island, the burden was already placed on Mr. Chen's shoulders.
Chen Pingan smiled knowingly and said: "Some kind words are still necessary. At least the other party will feel much better." This is also a little truth I just learned from a young man named Guan. ”
Zhang Jing joked: “Mr. Chen still wants to learn principles from others?
Chen Ping'an pointed at Zhang Jing, then pointed at Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye, and then towards the village at the foot of Falcon Mountain, he drew a circle casually, "There are a lot of truths outside the book, I just said it." For a small matter, villagers in the countryside also know how to be courteous when crossing a bridge. How many monks on the mountain are willing to practice this small principle? Right? "
The stagnation in Zhang's heart was slightly relieved, "Then I will go to the hilltop mentioned by Mr. Chen and walk around to find some reason? ”
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "What's wrong with this?"
Zhang Qing looked around. It has been many years since he calmed down and took a look at the human scenery at the foot of these mountains.
Chen Pingan said: "I will not rush back to Shujian Lake immediately for Liu Zhimao. I still have my own things to do. Even if I go back, I will only do what I can."
Zhang Ding nodded, "If we had just met and heard this answer, I would have been extremely anxious. At this moment, I have no energy at all. I dare not and do not want to force others to make things difficult for me. Mr. Chen, just do things according to your own ideas."
Chen Ping'an and Zhang Dao said almost in unison, "I still have to say polite words."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Ding straightened his clothes and left, no longer turning into a rainbow to control the wind. He walked across the small bridge and walked away slowly.
Chen Pingan, together with Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye, led the horses through the bluestone path in the village. After climbing the mountain, they passed the gate of Falcon Luoshan. They did not turn away people thousands of miles away, but there was a small There is not even a monk guarding the archway building. There is a single line of Falcon Luoshan monks, even if there is more than one lineage in the Patriarch Hall, there are still only a handful of them. All together, leaving aside the worshipers and guests, there are estimated to be less than twenty real Falcon Luoshan monks. However, there are only 20 people on Falcon Mountain. There is also a place similar to Tongyezhou's Huantian Street and Chishui City's Yuanwei Street. After all, monks practice Taoism and money opens the way. This is a principle that has not been easy for thousands of years, so Falcon Mountain will not be too deserted.
Chen Pingan looked back.
Zhang Ding has disappeared.
To say that Zhang Ding failed to get the answer he wanted from his side, Liu Zhimao was imprisoned and became a prisoner of Gongliu Island, and it was very likely that he would be beheaded just like this. Zhang Ding could not help but Disappointed? Must be extremely disappointed.
But.
Disappointment is one thing. What you should do after disappointment or what you need to do depends more on your character and skill.
So Chen Ping'an would respect people like Zhang Jing, Guan Yiran, and the ghost general of Shihao Kingdom whom he met by chance in Lingguan Temple, Huanglishan Su Xinzhai.
We never know whether we will encounter greater wind, rain and snow when walking on the miserable muddy road, or whether we will meet one or two good people, like flickering lights. .
Chen Pingan invited the ghost who was a monk in the sea-viewing realm to cover the eyes of Ma Duyi and Zeng to prevent them from wandering on the street of Falcon Mountain. She visited various shops, shopping around, selling and buying spiritual weapons. She had already "shared the spoils" with Zeng Ye, and she would also help Zeng Ye make suggestions on which spiritual weapon to buy in the current state. Utensils are the most cost-effective, don't blindly pursue good things and be greedy for quality. Although Zeng Ye is picky and often greedy, he still listens to Ma Duyi's advice. In this way, one person and one ghost are already true friends.
Chen Pingan saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart.
Because it is a fairy shop, some of them have eaten dust for decades or centuries, or they have just been collected at a low price.The treasures collected from the world are often the lucky additions to a deal with fairy money. This is similar to the case on Yuanwei Street, where Chen Ping'an bought a picture of a lady and a large imitation of a canal yellow sword, and the old shopkeeper gave three different items as gifts. A small thing that collects a copper coin, that's about it. At this time, the old ghost will show up. A practitioner who has cut off the world of mortals, even if he is engaged in business, may not actually understand the quality and value of antiques from secular dynasties. Correct, so Chen Pingan and his party made another mistake.
Return with a full load.
Leave Falcon Mountain.
Chen Ping'an still followed the established route, walking on the border of Shihao Kingdom, passing through city passes one after another, fulfilling the last wishes, big or small, for those evil spirits and ghosts.
It’s just that during this period, I have been paying close attention to the movements of Shujian Lake. It’s just like the monks in the Falcon Mountain shop buying a stack of old newspapers at a low price. The news about Shujian Lake is mostly innocuous. Itchy tidbit.
In the "small full" time of April, if you are in Lizhu Dongtian's hometown town, you need to be very careful about fighting for water in the fields, otherwise it will affect to a year's harvest.
When Chen Ping'an was about to return to Shujian Lake, he got a copy of the Xianjiadi newspaper that was widely circulated in the northern border of Shihao Kingdom, which recorded several big news.
Cao Ping, the commander of another Great Li cavalry, used extremely bold troops and divided his troops into three groups despite danger. Only the Chinese army was left to garrison in place and confront the border army of the Zhu Ying Dynasty. The cavalry army successively defeated two vassal states of the Zhu Ying Dynasty. Of course, it was not the annexation type, but it completely dispersed the field forces that the two vassal states could freely dispatch. Many soldiers and horses could only continue to shrink and rely on Xiongcheng. In large towns, each has its own camp and is trapped in a corner, which allows Cao Pang's cavalry to have more freedom.
Refugees from the two countries poured into the border area of the Zhuying Dynasty like crazy. Envoys from the vassal states’ temples continued to go to Zhuying’s capital, crying for their fathers and mothers, kowtowing and bleeding, pitying endlessly, and praying to Zhuying’s army to save the people from the fire and water. Able to attack decisively and fight the big Li barbarian outside the city. For this reason, the general who was stationed on the border of Zhu Ying and confronted Cao Ping was criticized. The reputation of cowardice spread throughout Zhu Ying's court and home. There were even rumors that this man had an affair with Da Li, and Zhu Ying's temple was criticized. They were forced to divide the main station into two main camps. Civil and military forces were mixed up, and the same was mixed up and down the mountain. In the court, the noise was so loud that Emperor Zhu Ying was so angry that he simply threw up his sleeves and retreated from the court to discuss the matter.
If this is just a major event in the world.
So in the recent summer, a shocking event happened on the mountain.
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties at the Immortal Platform of Fengxue Temple, they found the great monk from another continent who was temporarily practicing in the central area of Aquarius Continent, Xie Shi, the Heavenly Lord of Luzhou in Beiju.
After the First World War, Wei and Jin left Aquarius Continent and went to Daoxuan Mountain alone with their swords.
In that battle on the top of the mountain with only a few spectators, the outcome was not revealed, but since Xie Shi continued to stay in Aquarius Continent, this Taoist Heavenly Lord had already aroused the anger of the people in Aquarius Continent. , definitely not lost.
However, even if Wei and Jin failed to defeat Xie Shi with one sword, the monks from Aquarius Continent had no complaints about the land swordsman who had just entered the fifth realm. They only had the honor of being a monk from the same continent. , especially the Aquarius Island sword cultivator, is even more proud.
This is a major event on the mountain that attracts the attention of the entire continent.
Among them, there is also a certain incident on the mountain that attracts attention in the central part of Aquarius Continent.
A Zhenwu Mountain monk named Ma Kuxuan, who was less than twenty years old and had only practiced for a few years, actually killed two Jindan sword cultivators in two deadly battles. It is said that this It was still under the premise that Ma Kuxuan had hidden his ability to press the box. The Zhu Ying Dynasty chose to remain silent on this, because during the two battles, both Ma Kuxuan's Zhenwu Mountain protectors and the royal family members of the Zhu Ying Dynasty were watching. Ma Kuxuan's actions were without any problems, they were fair and honorable. .
For a time, Ma Kuxuan’s name spread throughout Aquarius Continent.
After Xiaoman, especially once it enters the plum rain season, there is a lot of moisture and evil. Whether you are a Taoist or a layman, you should pay attention to warming and nourishing the yang and righteousness to resist the moisture and evil.
When Chen Ping'an and his three riders went north, they took a route east of the capital of Shihao Kingdom. When they went south, they took a different trajectory.
In the torrential rain that day, Chen Pingan and the other two men led their horses to rest in a dilapidated pavilion. Chen Pingan's heart strings trembled, and the wooden box in his sleeves trembled and became slightly hot.
A messenger flying sword that should never have appeared has arrived.
Liu Zhimao has been detained in the water prison. It is absolutely impossible that under the noses of Liu Laocheng and that group of strange monks, he is still able to control his own little sword tomb flying sword to send a message to him.
Chen Pingan even planned to turn a blind eye.
After weighing the pros and cons, he carefully put away the messenger flying sword that was indeed Liu Zhimao's and opened the flying sword ban.
The secret message is only three sentences.
"You should be careful when returning to Shujian Lake on this trip."
"The reason for this reminder has nothing to do with you, Chen Pingan, nor our established business. It is purely I couldn't stand some faces, so I borrowed Liu Zhimao's flying sword to show his sincerity."
"I keep the flying sword, no need to reply"
After Chen Pingan put away the wooden box. , lost in thought.
It is undoubtedly the work of Liu Laocheng of Gongyanagi Island, but why it is so is worthy of scrutiny.
Liu Laocheng's frank "reminder" will never be the apparent change in Shujian Lake's situation. There is no need for Liu Laocheng to tell Chen Pingan that Chen Pingan is not blind
(This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page)
He is deaf, and Zhang Ding came to report the news. With Liu Laocheng’s careful mind and ambition, he would never waste any time on such a matter. Spend more time talking. So Liu Laocheng's so-called reminders and cautions must be in more subtle ways, and it is very likely that they are closely related to Chen Ping'an himself.
Chen Pingan stood on the edge of the small pavilion that was constantly leaking, looking out at the gloomy rain curtain outside. Now, there is a worse ending.Guo is waiting for him.
Zhang Dao used the hidden secret passage in Qingxia Island's Three Cave of the Cunning Rabbit to escape from Shujian Lake, perhaps because of the expectations and calculations of some people behind the scenes.
But why didn't he take action directly against Gu Can and Chunting Mansion? Why didn't he choose a simpler, less troublesome and immediate method to force himself to rush to Shujian Lake and kill him directly?
Chen Pingan sighed and murmured: "Is it another battle between the great avenues? Then it makes sense that it is not the sect leader on the Aquarius continent who takes action. The Tongye sect where Du Mao is located ? Or? Taiping Mountain, definitely not. The first major sect we passed on Tongye Island, but I was just passing by Lu Tai and there was no dispute between us. If he is able to chase him to Aquarius Continent without mercy, he must be a monk in the upper five realms, so the possibility of supporting the Ji Sect is not high."
Chen Ping'an frowned. Wrinkling, "But it's not like the old temple master who has great Taoism. When it comes to him, the Taoism is not so small."
Chen Pingan suddenly turned his head and said: "Zeng Ye, Ma Duyi, you don't need to accompany me back to Shujian Lake, go directly to the border between Shihao Kingdom and Meigla Kingdom, and wait for me at the gate there."
Zeng Ye wants to talk. , but Ma Duyi grabbed his sleeve.
Chen Pingan turned his head and continued to look at the rain curtain.
Farewell to the pavilion.
Ride south alone.
The thick blue cotton robe was replaced by a thin and fitted blue shirt.
Chen Pingan arrived at Lutong City on the border of Shujian Lake smoothly without any setbacks.
After all, Lutong City is a fringe force in Shujian Lake. The undercurrents and changes in Shujian Lake, as well as Su Gaoshan’s shocking words and actions in Chishui City, are all things to the local residents of Lutong City. Whether it is the idle monks who failed to occupy the island as king and create a sect, or the common people who are begging for food, many times, the bigger the matter, the quieter they become, because under the general trend, if you don't accept that fate, what else can you do, especially those who A native-born ordinary man, the world outside is so chaotic, even if he has some savings, where can he move to? Do you dare?
There are many delicious foods in Lutong City.
Chen Pingan randomly found a steamed bun shop and was a little surprised. He bought two. He loved eating them and bought two more. Chen Pingan had not eaten until he felt nine percent full for a long time.
The shop is newly opened, and the shopkeeper is very young, not even a teenager yet.
Business is pretty good.
Chen Pingan inquired about some more news on the way from Lutong City to Chishui City around the border of Shujian Lake. Compared with the war-torn Shihao Kingdom, the gossip here would obviously be closer to the truth. .
At the familiar ferry in Chishui City, more than half a year has passed, and the ferry is still quietly tied to the shore.
Even though Liu Zhimao of Qingxia Island has completely lost power, his status as the first-class enshrinement of Qingxia Island still has some weight.
On the way here, left the horse in an inn, Chen Pingan gave a sum of money and asked the inn to help feed it.
Dou Zhi Bing is the hot summer, and the entire Shujian Lake is filled with heat, like a big steamer.
It’s hard to imagine that when we left Shujian Lake, this place was still a landscape filled with snow and white.
Chen Pingan punted back to Qingxia Island alone.
After stopping the boat and landing, after passing the mountain gate, the old monk at the porter was still listless. When he saw the accountant who had returned to Qingxia Island, his smile remained the same.
It seems that the disappearance of the island owner Liu Zhimao, the ruins of Hengbo Mansion, and the Throwing Whip Shujian Lake by General Da Li have not affected the leisurely life of this old monk.
Chen Pingan greeted the old monk at the porter, chatted for a few words, and opened the door. There was nothing unusual, except that there was some dust accumulated, because before leaving Qingxia Island, he said that there was no need to clean here.
Chen Ping'an first went to the Hengbo Mansion, which had become a ruin and could no longer be rebuilt. He stood on the edge of the ruins and was silent for a moment, then turned and walked towards the Chun Ting Mansion, where the wealthy family was still there.
Now Qingxia Island is leaderless, and Zhang Jie, who was able to barely maintain the situation, has disappeared. Liu Zhimao’s disciple Tian Hujun on Sulin Island, as a local Jindan monk, actually went into seclusion because of this kind of thing. In addition, Gu Can lost the little loach again, and Yu Hui and others, who were the great worshipers on the vassal islands, now interacted secretly with some of Liu Zhimao's direct disciples and the worshipers on the vassal islands, and each had their own plans.
I believe that during this period, the Spring Court Mansion, without the Hengbo Mansion and Liu Zhimao who were overwhelming them, looked beautiful, but was actually quite miserable.
The sky is falling. From the top of the sky, Liu Zhimao is already like this. Whose turn will it be next?
Everyone in the Chun Ting Mansion, no matter how unfamiliar with the general trend, will know it.
Mother Gu Can, she is already waiting at the gate with her two beautiful and young confidants.
Chunting Mansion still has some intelligence.
The woman walked quickly to Chen Pingan and said softly: "Ping An, why are you getting thinner and thinner?"
Chen Pingan sighed in his heart, but still smiled: "I've been there all along." Wandering around Shihao Country, he often eats and sleeps in the open, but he’s used to it, so it’s actually okay.”
The woman smiled and said, “After you left Qingxia Island, he liked to be alone in Qingxia. I walked around the island for a walk, and now I don’t know where it went wild. Dogs can’t change their habit of eating shit. They have been doing this since they were little. Every time it’s time to eat, I have to shout for him. But now I can’t do it anymore. No matter how loud I shout, , Cancan went out and was far away, and couldn't hear her. Auntie was not used to it at first."
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait for him here until we finish talking. We are about to leave Shujian Lake."
The woman was full of disappointment, "Are you so anxious?"
Chen Ping'an snorted.
The woman chatted with Chen Pingan here, mostly reminiscing about the bitterness and sweetness. Chen Pingan also talked about the troubles between the parents of Mu Bottle Lane and Xinghua Lane back then.Learn about Ma Kuxuan’s current situation.
The woman was filled with emotion. She really didn’t expect that the little fool who was bullied so badly back then would be so successful now. It’s a pity that Granny Ma, the one with the worst mouth, could not see her grandson. Well, there is no life to enjoy. At this point, the woman seemed to be hurt by the situation, and turned her head to wipe the corners of her eyes with a silk scarf.
About half an hour later, Gu Can slowly returned to Spring Court House.
I saw my mother and Chen Ping'an waiting at the door. Gu Can, who was as tall as a boy from the Northland, this Shujian Lake Demon King who easily made people forget his true age, still did not speed up his pace.
When he walked to the door, Gu Can said hello to the woman, then looked straight at Chen Pingan and said softly: "Back?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: " I have heard about what happened on Qingxia Island, and I have something to tell you."
The woman had already taken notice and left.
Chen Pingan led Gu Can towards the ruins of Hengbo Mansion and said slowly: "The more chaotic it is, the less impatient it is. Making mistakes while busy is the most undesirable."
Gu Can Nod.
Chen Pingan asked: "Yuan Yuan of Oriole Island has taken refuge in Dali, do you know?"
Gu Can still nodded, "I heard that there is no airtight place in the world. Wall. After seeing you last time, Lu Caisang didn't come even once. However, Han Jinling and Huang He made a special trip to Qingxia Island after Su Gaoshan's appearance and Liu Zhimao's incident. Huang He also wanted to take a look at your house. He said, "I refused. His face didn't look good at that time."
Chen Pingan glanced at Gu Can.
Gu Can smiled and said, "I know now that I'm not smart, but I'm not too stupid, right?"
Chen Ping'an snorted, "Don't treat Han Jingling and Huang He like this. If you are disappointed, you are stupid. At the same time, don't be disappointed with Lu Caisang. You are not smart enough. Since you are friends, you must put yourself in the other person's shoes. Lu Caisang also has his own disciples and friends. Responsibility, true friends, should be more considerate, the world is complicated, don't expect perfection, if you have it, it's best, if you don't have it, just keep that feeling. Maybe one day in the future, a best friend friendship will be waiting for you. When the time comes, it’s like a jar of fine wine. It’s not too late to drink it.”
Gu Can remained silent and said, “Chen Ping’an, is it too late for me to listen to your reasoning?”
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It's not too late."
Gu Can said: "But I am still the same Gu Can, what should I do?"
Chen Pingan said : "A little better is a little better, and every more truth is a little better."
The two of them stopped talking and walked to the ruins of the former site of Hengbo Mansion.
Chen Pingan asked: "Do you want to leave Shujian Lake with me and come back, just like me this time."
Gu Can asked back: "Then What should I do about my mother?"
Chen Pingan did not give an answer.
He justGive choices.
Gu Can shook his head and said: "I know you do it for my own good, but I won't leave. I don't feel relieved if I leave. Even if I stay here, it won't be of any use, but if I leave like this, I I can’t help it. I can’t help you anymore. I can’t help my mother anymore. I still won’t regret it, Chen Ping’an, if you want to scold me, just scold me.”
Chen Pingan did not insist on his opinion, let alone scold Gu Can.
Gu Can is a little strange.
Chen Pingan put his hands in his sleeves, looked at Gu Can who looked confused, and said softly: "Has Chen Pingan ever scolded the little slug in Mud Bottle Alley?"
Gu Can smiled. .
I also cried.
So that’s it. Chen Ping’an’s truth is that simple.
