The river flowed by outside the window, and it lasted for eternity. Chen Pingan lay on the window sill and squinted for a while, and his spirit relaxed a little. This was a rare thing. Chen Pingan had not slept soundly and soundly for too long.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi have not returned yet, and Chen Pingan is still a little worried.
As he expected, he saw the tip-off letter Zhang Ding, returned to Shujian Lake and then left Qingxia Island. This time he entered the Meigla Kingdom from Liuliuguan. There were indeed shadows along the way, and there were people following him from a distance. , the level is so high, and the secret is so deep that Chen Pingan only had a slight feeling in his heart occasionally. Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were kept in the dark from beginning to end. Chen Pingan did not reveal it, so as to save them from being worried and easily revealing their flaws. Causing unnecessary trouble.
Even if the other party did not show any kindness or hostility, Chen Ping'an still felt like a light on his back.
There were only a handful of monks in Shujian Lake who could do this before. Liu Laocheng of the Jade Pu Realm disdained such a thing, and Liu Zhimao, the old Yuan Ying, would not do such a thing.
The Song family of Dali is unwilling to cause trouble. Moreover, Chen Ping'an is a Dali family after all, and Lu Baixiang and others have all joined the Dali edition. Even the senior officials of Dali besides Cui Han, For example, the confidant spy of the empress in the palace would never have the guts to take action in the chess game of Shujian Lake, because it is under Cui Han's nose, and Cui Han pays the most attention to rules when he acts. Of course, Dali's Almost all the rules, from the temple to the military to the mountains, were made by Cui Chan.
Chen Pingan can almost conclude that that person is one of the foreign monks on Gongliu Island, the top one. It is impossible. Shujian Lake is of great importance, otherwise he would not take action to suppress Liu Zhimao,
This requires him to personally take charge of Gongliu Island, so it should be the second or third person in command of the dragon crossing the river to keep an eye on him and wait for opportunities. Fortunately, the other party did not intend to kill him directly. It seemed that he had not yet come up with a foolproof strategy that would leave no hidden dangers, but once he did, it would definitely be thunderous.
For this, deep down in Chen Ping'an's heart, he still felt a little grateful to Liu Laocheng. Instead of advising him, Liu Laocheng did not even watch the fire from the other side. Instead, he secretly reminded himself once and revealed the secret. Of course, there is another possibility here, that is, Liu Laocheng has told the other party about the jade tablet that was enshrined in the Confucian Temple of the saint. Foreign monks are also worried that both jade and stone will be destroyed, which will fundamentally ruin their overall plan for Shujian Lake.
However, Chen Pingan vaguely felt that Liu Laocheng was a...wonderful person, and the former was more likely.
It is a pity that Liu Laocheng is not the person who ultimately decides the trend of Shujian Lake, so the hard-built chessboard, Liu Zhimao, Tan Yuanyi, and Liu Laocheng were destroyed in one go. Ping An had to admit that this chessboard was just short of being overturned to the ground. Now Su Gaoshan, the general of Dali, was playing chess with the group of foreign monks at Yishu Jian Lake. Including him, Chen Ping'an, and the others , everyone has to step aside.
It can be said that all the hard work and hard work are just in vain in the end, but Chen Pingan doesn't think so.
Whether you want to accept your fate or not, you need to know your fate before you accept your fate. Just like when Chen Pingan wanted to see Su Gaoshan, but received a rather domineering reply of "fuck off", Chen Pingan was able to accept it calmly, because after a trip to the stone... During his trip to Hao Country, he had seen and heard with his own eyes, and with the previous summary of Liuxu Island's reports, Chen Ping'an dared to say that he had a relatively good understanding of Su Gaoshan's character. He was born in the Han clan, had gone through hardships, and achieved outstanding military exploits. As the foundation of a person's life, this kind of person occupies a high position, so he is extremely tough, his heart is as solid as a rock, and his state of mind has long been similar to that of a great monk. It is impossible to say that Cui Zhang and Song Changjing, even if they are not lacking in instructions and accountability, have issued orders to them. I must have some respect for Su Gaoshan in his heart.
However, accepting your fate is a hard work with no results. Of course, you will still be disappointed.
This is actually no different from Zhang Ding who appeared in Falcon Mountain.
Chen Pingan wanted to touch the sword gourd and take a sip of wine, then he remembered that he had given it to Ma Duyi and hung it on his waist. He sat back at the table, thought about it, and simply took out the sword gourd. Shu Dianzi, the county lieutenant's calligraphy treasure, spread out the calligraphy one by one, admiring it, and liked it as much as he liked.
One breath, hearty and unrestrained.
How is this different from a martial arts punch?
The spirit is moving and moving, advancing and retreating, all in line with the Tao.
How is this different from the sword fairy drawing a sword?
There are always some similarities between the principles in the world.
Each copybook has a different private seal of the young county captain. Most of them have one seal and one seal, but rarely two seals. < /p>
There are two seals printed adjacent to each other, "The young dragon is strong and strong" and "The thin dragon is fat".
In another painting, three seals were stamped on the copybook one after another. Chen Pingan was particularly impressed by the action of the young county captain at that time. His face was as bright as a calligrapher banishing an immortal. , The young prince laughed loudly, "When I meet a fool who sells my immortal name with immortal wine, it's so happy!" The seals are "Kaiyuan", "Changshu" and "Mochi Immortal".
Chen Pingan put them away one by one.
In the future, it must be kept in Luopo Mountain for collection. No matter who asks, no matter how high the price is, it will not be sold. It must be passed down as a family heirloom!
When Chen Pingan thought of this, he couldn't help but smile.
Chen Pingan stretched his waist, put his hands in his sleeves, and turned his head to look at the river.
There was once a beautiful poem excerpted from a book and carved on a bamboo slip. A small bamboo slip carried such a huge artistic conception.
Thousands of fallen trees and mountains, the sky is far and wide, and the moon is clearly visible along the Chengjiang River.
The magnificent river view outside the window unknowingly opened my mind.
Mr. Qi, there is a saying that, after working hard, I may have done what I couldn't do in Xuanxuan Mountain now.
After Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi came back, Zeng Ye was very excited and said that he actually met the water god master of Chunhua River. He was wearing a hairpin and embroidered clothes. He was very kind. When he met them, he even made a special trip to show up and personally took them to visit the water temple.
Ma Duyi rolled her eyes and said that the old man's eyes were uncomfortable and leering. When he looked at the sword gourd on her waist, he also looked at her waist.
Chen Ping'an couldn't say much about this.
The Chunhua River is the largest river in the Meigla Kingdom, and the Meigla Kingdom has always respected the water god. As the leading river god, the Chunhua River Water God is certainly not simple.
In fact, Chen Ping'an has seen quite a few landscape gods. The earliest one was Wei Bo from Qidun Mountain, who was considered half a wedding ghost of a landscape god, and the embroiderer who later appeared next to Gu Can's father. The river god warrior general, the buried river god empress over Tongyezhou, and the Daquan Dynasty encountered a pair of rival gods fighting against each other on their way north. Chen Ping'an was very impressed by the big-headed White Bird River Water Goddess.
I just don’t know what the relationship between the boy in green and his friend in the world, Yujiang Water God, is like on the other side of my mountain, Luolu Mountain.
Wei Bo and Zhu Lian sent Feijian summons to Qingxia Island. The letter more or less mentioned this matter, but they didn’t say much. They only said that the river god of Huangting Kingdom got a piece. Tai Ping Wu Shi Pai personally paid a visit to Longquan County. The boy in Tsing Yi greeted him at Luo Lo Mountain, and finally treated the water god to a farewell drink in the small town. After that, the boy in Tsing Yi no longer mentioned this good brother who values love and justice.
Chen Ping'an was a little worried. He only relied on the few words in the letter and couldn't tell the boy in Tsing Yi anything casually.
In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Pingan has never disliked the almost childish loyalty of the boy in Tsing Yi. In fact, in his eyes, it is the most valuable thing about the boy in Tsing Yi.
It is much better to be a little stupid than to be shrewd and not smart at all.
At least in Chen Pingan's Luolu Mountain, this is very important and crucial.
Because this is Chen Pingan's small world, and the rules are determined by him. Chen Pingan's own personal likes and dislikes are like watching an old Taoist in a Taoist temple, and he is "God" in a blessed land of lotus flowers.
Beyond the delimited scope, many people’s shrewdness in dealing with people is different from the way everyone strives to be the first. Chen Ping’an also recognizes it. It’s not even that he doesn’t like it. On the contrary, he also feels that there are many advantages, such as sitting on the old dragon. Sun Jiashu, the young head of the Sun family, is not only shrewd, but also has unique wisdom in life. But in the end, Chen Ping'an and Sun Jiashu, and the Sun family's ancestral home... Bian had no choice but to part ways, but in the end, when he took the ferry to leave Old Dragon City, Chen Pingan's impression of Sun Jiashu had deepened.
The same rice can feed hundreds of people.
If you are willing to see more of the good things in others, you will not get into trouble.
You need to know more about the differences between others and yourself before you know what others are doing.How to live well and live poorly.
Think about it, and it will turn around a thousand times.
Just like the cursive calligraphy of the young county lieutenant, the scrawling was so crazy that Zeng Ye couldn't recognize a single word at first glance, but in fact, down to the root, it wasn't every single word?
But when it comes to observing calligraphy and appreciating the miracle of calligraphy, I don’t have to know the calligraphy, and the calligraphy doesn’t recognize me. I just need to take a rough look at the momentum. It doesn’t matter if I don’t look at it. But when everyone lives in this complex world, and you don’t understand the various rules and constraints of this world, especially those at the lowest level and the most easily ignored, life must teach people how to behave, which has nothing to do with good or evil, and is selfless. As the seasons pass and time passes, no one can say "I had known it before" after suffering hardships.
Chen Pingan was a little worried. The Shaohuo Taoist boy carrying the golden sword gourd had said that he would move to another world. Didn't he mean that the Lotus Flower Blessed Land would also be taken to the Qingming World? What should we do about Zhong Qiu and Cao Qinglang, the national masters of Nanyuan Kingdom? Is there any chance to meet again? The flow of time in the blessed land is under the control of the old Taoist. Will it be possible that even if Chen Pingan can return to the blessed land next time, Zhong Qiu will already be an ancient person who has received a great posthumous title in the history of Nanyuan National Youth? What about Cao Qinglang?
Chen Pingan has always been thinking about Cao Qinglang's kind-hearted child and never forgets him.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were sitting at the table chatting and eating melon seeds. Unknowingly, they noticed that Mr. Chen seemed a little sad again.
Fortunately, this sadness is different from the past. It is not heavy. It is just the melancholy of thinking of someone or something. It is like green ants floating on the surface of wine, and it has not turned into old wine. sad.
But the accountant never said anything about his joys, sorrows and joys, and always suffered them alone.
This made Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye feel a little disappointed.
There was a knock on the door, and another copy of the Xianjia Di newspaper compiled by Mei Glaze Kingdom was delivered to the Xianjia Inn built on the riverside. It was freshly released and exuded the unique flavor of the Xianjia. Long-lasting ink fragrance.
After Chen Pingan thanked him, he flipped through the book, browsed both sides, handed it to Ma Duyi, and said helplessly: "Su Gaoshan has begun a large-scale attack on the Meigla Kingdom, and all the border lines near the left pass have been lost. ”
There is a detailed record of this matter in the Di newspaper.
Zhou Mi, one of the three naval commanders of the Mei Glaze Kingdom, is responsible for garrisoning the upper reaches of the Chunhua River. He had already turned his back to the Great Li cavalry, intending to lead an army to rebel, and secretly contacted the Great Li. However, the Emperor of the Meigla Kingdom, who had already noticed it, sent several royal monks to worship him, and they worked together to kill him. At that time, three of the monks accompanying the Great Li army beside Zhou Mi were killed in the battle. Among them, there was also a Jindan Earth Immortal from Dali. Su Gaoshan was furious and asked his three generals to issue a military order. Within one month, they must each attack three parts of the Mei Glaze Kingdom to deal with the stubborn Mei Glaze. They formed a siege in the capital of the country and threatened to cut off the head of the emperor of the Meigla Kingdom and use it as a wine jug. They would use it to toast at the grave during the Qingming Festival next year.
Zeng Ye just watched the excitement, and he couldn’t understand it anyway, he just felt it.The big Li cavalry is so powerful and domineering.
Monks on the mountain often don’t have deep feelings about their home and country. The longer they practice and the longer they are away from the secular world, the more indifferent they become.
Sit back and watch with cold eyes.
Otherwise, if you have not cultivated enough and have never really stood on the top of the mountain, you will still be trapped by the general trend and have to go down the mountain.
That’s why the middle-aged Taoist he met by chance in the stream took the initiative to go down the mountain and help people in distress at the foot of the mountain, which made Chen Ping’an respect him. However, as he practices Taoism, he has obstacles in his heart, including suffering and confusion. Outsiders really shouldn't say much. Chen Ping'an doesn't think that middle-aged Taoists must be firm in their true intentions and do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the world. This is the right path, otherwise they will fall into the inferior realm.
Ma Duyi saw further than Zeng Ye, and asked doubtfully: "Why is Su Gaoshan so anxious to win the Meigla Kingdom quickly? Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I have walked through the Meigla Kingdom. Roads, and we also know that the waterways in the Meigla Kingdom are criss-crossed and are not suitable for the Great Li Cavalry."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "We say it is the Great Li Cavalry, but it is not really just the cavalry. , but Da Li is famous for its iron cavalry, and it is easy for people to mistakenly think that the foot combat of Da Li's frontier army is ordinary. What kind of dynasty and vassal have not experienced this all the way south? It is the general trend for Da Li to take the Meigla Kingdom. It's just that you are right. If you are so anxious to capture the Meigla Kingdom, you will definitely have to pay a higher price than attacking the capital of the Shihao Kingdom. Both the Dali and the Meigla Kingdom will suffer more losses. Here, Perhaps only Su Gaoshan himself knows the secret. I believe that someone should be urging Su Gaoshan and Cao Ping, such as the real backbone of the Great Li Cavalry, the feudal king Song Changjing."
Ma Duyi hesitated, " Why doesn’t Mr. seem to care much about the war on the battlefield? (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Why don’t you care about the life and death of those warriors on the battlefield as much as you do about the common people? "
p>Chen Pingan thought for a moment and drew a circle on the table with his finger, "There is a saying in his hometown that if the earthen pot is not broken far from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die on the battlefield. Joining the army and fighting on the battlefield is equivalent to having his head tied up. Just like the general in Lingguan Temple, do you think he would regret sacrificing his life for the country after his death? And the young Shihao soldiers who were fighting for food from the people in the small county? Even if so many warriors died, how could they really be willing to attack the common people?"
Chen Ping'an drew a bigger circle, "You may not know that in Shihao Country earlier. , I stopped a mountain spirit boy who wanted to kill someone at a dog meat shop in a county, and gave him a... fairy money. But if the monster tribe invades Haoran World in large numbers, one day, even if I know it. Among the monster clan, there will be the fox spirit from the ancient temple in the early years, and this weird boy who finally gave up killing people. But when I faced the mighty army in front, I was the only one standing in front of them, with the city and the people behind me. , what do you think I should do? Go to the battle formation and ask the monsters one by one why they want to kill people and whether they are willing not to kill them.people? "
Chen Pingan said calmly: "Since I chose to stand there and block the road, it means that I have prepared to die or die. Since the other party has killed there, the same should be done. When military sages sit at ancient battlefield sites, they are in charge of heaven and earth. For example, Confucian saints sit in academies, and Taoist true kings sit in Taoist temples. Why is there such a favorable time, place, and people? Maybe this is part of the reason. When they are in it, outsiders have to do as the Romans do. ”
Chen Pingan asked: “Can you understand what I said?” "
Zeng Ye shook his head honestly.
Ma Duyi asked: "I understand the general principle, but there is another problem. What if outsiders can forcibly break through the saint's world? Doesn’t it mean the original truth, right? "
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "This shows that you have not thought clearly about why the saint can rule the world. This is the fundamental point. This is the thread of the thread and the beginning of the sequence. After that, I started to wonder why it was still destroyed by external forces. The seemingly unreasonable outsiders beat the reasonable ones with their fists. As for why I say "seemingly", it's even more complicated. When I have the opportunity to encounter real things in the future, I will explain it to you in detail, otherwise you will only feel more and more confused, as if everything makes sense, and in the end, people People are unreasonable. "
Ma Duyi nodded, "Okay, we'll see. "
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "But I hope I won't have that opportunity. "
Ma Duyi became more and more confused.
Chen Pingan said slowly: "We have seen with our own eyes the misfortune of the Shihao country. Only the poets and heroes were lucky, and the country was destroyed. Sounds, words of grief and indignation, and those civil servants and military officers who perished for their country are most easily remembered in history books. We have also passed through the Meigla Country, where more and more diligent people and grumbling literati lived a fairly stable life. Which one do you think is luckier, the Shihao Country or the Meigla Country? ”
The answer is obvious.
To die generously is ultimately a last resort. No regrets does not mean that you have no regrets. And live well, even if you don’t live like that Comfort is always the simplest wish of the world.
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "We don't know many simple truths, and it is difficult for us to empathize with other people's sufferings, but isn't this our luck? ”
No matter how good a person is, he cannot truly empathize with the heart-wrenching suffering of others.
Back then in Rouge County, Caiyi Country, a young man named Zhao Shu held a hatchet. Next, why is the little girl who is protecting her so much only willing to believe Chen Pingan? Because children are often more sincere, more sensitive to suffering and more difficult to resist. The little girl nicknamed Luan Luan is Chen Pingan who is in a much closer situation. She felt the same joys and sorrows in her body, not because in the eyes of the child at that time, Chen Pingan was definitely better than the girl next to her who was also a good person.
At this moment, Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye. They looked at each other in confusion.
Chen Pingan looked calm in the end and said: "But these lucky people don't know how to be blessed.Where does it come from? Shouldn’t we know and cherish it? When no one is willing to delve into the matter and a disaster is imminent, don't complain and cry for grievances. God won't listen, right? That’s why there’s a Bodhisattva sitting upside down on that altar, right? However, I still think that scholars should take some responsibility at this juncture. After reading more books than ordinary people, having fame and honor, and enjoying greater blessings than ordinary people, they should take on more responsibilities. Some burdens. ”
Chen Pingan gently placed his hands on the handle of the chair.
When everyone’s sitting posture is not straight, they will not be comfortable, the tenons will be loose, the chair will shake, and the world will not be the same. Peace. That's why Confucianism pays attention to study and self-cultivation, and a gentleman must be cautious in being alone.
After seeing Shujian Lake, I was so disappointed.
But when Chen Pingan left Shujian Lake, he left. More roads and more things to think about, but they were not so disappointed anymore.
After a short two-day rest, they left the Xianjia Inn and headed to the southernmost point of Meigla Kingdom.
On the way south, Chen Ping'an met a down-and-out scholar whose conversation and dress showed his good family background. He was frustrated with his official career and had no shortage of money, so he hired chariot and horse servants to accompany him on his travels through dangerous mountains and rivers. However, one of them got interested in the money and joined forces with the other two to seek wealth and murder, almost killing him. The scholar who recited poetry pushed him down the cliff path. If a kind-hearted porter hadn't stopped him desperately, the scholar would have disappeared without waiting for Chen Ping'an to take action. Afterwards, the family may not even be able to find Chen's body.
After being stopped by Ping An, he asked the scholar how to deal with the carriage and horse servants. The scholar was also a strange person. Not only did he give them the salary they deserved, and let them just take the money and leave, he also said that he had remembered their household registration, and he would only need to do it again in the future. If you dare to do evil, if he finds out, you will have to settle the old and new accounts, and it will be a death penalty. The scholar will only keep the bearer.
Then he will have to deal with Chen Ping'an. We walked together, changed our route, and headed south together.
The scholar fell in love with Ma Duyi at first sight.
Chen Pingan was not blind, and even Zeng Ye could see it. The scholar's show of kindness was a little too lame. He deliberately talked to Chen Ping'an and commented on current affairs when he had nothing to say. Otherwise, he just recited poems and composed poems in front of the extraordinary landscapes, which made Ma Duyi very annoyed. , for the first time, I wanted to ask Mr. Chen to put away the fox-skin paper talisman and put it in his sleeve, so as not to see it but not hear it.
If it weren’t for that scholar, it wouldn’t be a loss. Si Wen, a clean and well-educated man, did not have the nerve to declare his family background and show off his family background. Ma Duyi almost cursed and asked the scholar to put away his complaints as soon as possible.
The scholar is obviously a descendant of the Meigla Kingdom. , otherwise, the pride revealed in his speech is not that he won the top prize in high school at a young age, but that after three years of training in the Hanlin Academy and the Household Yamen in the capital, he was sent to a local official, and he was within a county.Various measures to deal with officialdom abuses.
I really want to be a good official and gain the reputation of a great master.
It’s a pity that after leaving office, let alone being an umbrella for all people, he only had a bad reputation. The subordinates of the county government secretly called him pedantic and didn’t know how to get some benefits for the government. They just patronized them. As a result, the local gentry scolded him for being ignorant of common people's affairs, and the common people scolded him for wasting his money and wasting his money on fame.
One day when he talked about his sadness and drank too much wine, the scholar's eyes filled with tears and he could no longer pretend to be a literary figure with Ma Duyi.
Chen Ping'an didn't say much.
I only talked about my rough views on honest officials and good officials, and roughly talked about the benefits of the former and the difficulties of the latter.
After hearing this, the scholar was very drunk and very angry. He said that it was already unacceptable to be a harmonious person in the officialdom. If he still wanted to be a scholar, what kind of official would he be? A true scholar. , you should rely on your true talents and practical learning, step by step to become the central leader, and then cleanse the turbid energy. This can be regarded as self-cultivation and governing the country. Otherwise, you should simply stop being an official, sorry for the sages and principles in the book.
Chen Pingan smiled and said it made sense.
No more words of advice.
It’s not that Chen Ping’an thought it didn’t make sense, or that the scholar’s ideas were too naive.
This is the troublesome thing for such scholars.
Chen Pingan has seen it with his own eyes.
Wu Yuan, who holds the title of a disciple of the Imperial Preceptor, first served as the county magistrate in Longquan, but encountered obstacles everywhere. As for those with big surnames, aren't they afraid of Cui Cheng?
But it was the soft nails with pleasant looks secretly buried inside and outside the government office that made Wu Yuan so anxious and frustrated in his official career that he had to "move out" of the town to make a home for his legitimate sons named Yuan and Cao. , as Longquan was promoted from county to county, Wu Yuan was of course promoted from county magistrate to county governor. However, Chen Pingan dared to assert that Wu Yuan's impression in Dali Chaotang had fallen to the bottom. He had a background and a backer, and it was smooth sailing. It is not difficult for a while, but it is destined not to be a smooth life. It is difficult, whether it is rich people or children of powerful people, they will feel miserable and suffer.
In fact, back then, Wu Yuan did say something from the bottom of his heart to a certain kid from a wealthy family in the capital, and made it clear to the secretary of the civil service, asking everyone to write a plaque for Wen Mo Temple, or to please help him. The difference between the two is that the family broke the deadlock in Longquan. The incense and love will be used up not only with friends, but even within the family, so don't use it indiscriminately.
If today's Chen Pingan hears about this matter and these words, he might sit down with Wu Yuan and have a good drink. This sentence alone is enough for a pot of good wine.
In the blessed land of Lotus Roots, Chen Ping'an has seen many officials and eunuchs who have been wearing hairpins for generations. When they became officials in local places, they thought they could do it. In fact, many people went from glory to gloom to complete silence. There are shortcuts to break the rules, and after a temporary gain, local officials also pinch their noses and admit their losses, but they often rebound silently and treat those officials from the capital.My brother is becoming more and more group-based and repulsive, his skills are becoming more sophisticated and insidious, and he is teasing and teasing like a fool.
So Chen Pingan is now wary of Su Gaoshan, who has turned from a mud-legged man into a general in the army, but he will not underestimate Cao Ping, who has a noble surname and is uniquely endowed in the early stages of officialdom.
Ma Duyi was so angry that he couldn't bear it for a long time. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to speak, but Chen Pingan shook his head to signal not to speak.
Chen Pingan can actually understand the scholar's plight.
It was exactly the same as his own situation in Shujian Lake.
Does he want to seek the skin of a tiger and become an ally with Liu Zhimao, who is a life-and-death enemy and who is supposed to fight to the death? Let’s make rules for Shujian Lake together? If you don’t do it, you will naturally save worry and effort. If you do it, if nothing else, you will feel unhappy in your heart. Sometimes, in the dead of night, you have to ask yourself whether your conscience is lacking, and whether one day you will finally be with Gu. Just like Can, he made one wrong step and never looked back. Before he knew it, he became the kind of person he disliked most back then.
Chen Pingan respects the scholar's choice.
Perhaps not being an official anymore, having both the talent of the top scholar and a family heritage, and having studied with great concentration for decades and filled the country with students, wouldn’t it be a better way to break the situation?
Same.
That wonderful possibility lies in front of the scholar's path.
How could Chen Pingan be willing to say one more thing, scholar, you are wrong, you should be a scholar with a guilty conscience for the sake of the welfare of the people of this time and place, and there will be one more good official in the temple, and the country But missing a real gentleman? Chen Pingan dare not make any hasty conclusions about the trade-offs, gains and losses.
These twists and turns are all what Chen Pingan saw and thought about from the book and the outside.
Many words that I once only knew were good truths, but I didn’t know the merits of them, Mr. Qi’s, A Liang’s, Old Man Yao’s, all kinds of people on bamboo slips, they The words of truth left to this world are becoming clearer and clearer, as if they have been picked up by future generations, pure and true.
When we gather, we disperse.
Even if the scholar likes Ma Duyi no more, even if he no longer cares about Ma Duyi's indifference and alienation, he still has to return to the capital and enjoy the mountains and rivers. After all, this is not the true occupation of a scholar.
When parting, he told him about his family background, because in the future, if Mr. Chen came to him for a drink or asked for directions, he would have to have an address.
It turns out that the scholar is the direct grandson of Mei Glaze, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
When we meet, we drink together, and when we break up, we might as well make a date again. This may be a good world.
Zeng Ye actually still doesn’t quite understand why Mr. Chen is willing to spend time with such a sour scholar, and he just accompanies the scholar to visit the scenic spots of more than a hundred miles in vain.
Even if the scholar is the direct grandson of a minister, so what? Zeng Ye doesn't think Mr. Chen needs to deliberately make friends with such human beings.
Not worth it.
Don’t say it’s ChenSir, he is Zeng Ye, a wild cultivator in Shanze who has not yet reached the fifth level of the middle school. It has nothing to do with whether he is a monk on the mountain and has an arrogant heart. It is that Zeng Ye encountered the same people and the same thing. He struggled to death and saved others. After drinking, they dispersed.
But when he thought that it was Mr. Chen, Zeng Ye felt relieved. Didn’t Ma Duyi tell Mr. Chen to his face that he was unhappy? Zeng Ye actually felt the same way, but he was slightly different from Ma Duyi. Zeng Ye felt that This kind of Mr. Chen is very good. Maybe in the future, when I have Mr. Chen's current cultivation level and state of mind, I will be able to talk to that scholar more when I meet him again?
Zeng Ye’s
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The heart of cultivating Taoism is invisible, and I must hold on to Mr. Chen’s sleeves from the beginning. , living means that even if you leave Mr. Chen in the future, you must live a more enjoyable life, and you must live a different life from the senior wild cultivators on Maoyue Island and even the entire Shujian Lake.
For example, should we be more patient with the ordinary masters at the foot of the mountain?
Zeng Ye must not have thought clearly enough now, but he finally started to think about it.
The tall young man probably doesn’t know that the young man from Mud Bottle Alley back then walked the same way and became the accountant he is today.
After separating from the scholar, Sanqi came to a city named Jingzhou in the southernmost part of the Meigla Kingdom. The biggest official there was not the prefect, but the owner of the Water Transport General Military Officer’s Office. The military officer was one of the most important officials after the Governor of Water Transport. Chen Ping'an stayed for ten years. He found that the spiritual energy here was much better than that of ordinary local towns and was conducive to the cultivation of Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye, so he chose a nearby building. Shui's big inn allowed them to practice in peace, while he himself wandered around the city. During this period, he heard a lot of things. The commander-in-chief had an only son with mediocre academic skills. He had no hope of taking the imperial examination and had no intention of pursuing an official career. He lingered in the brothels all year round and gained a bad reputation. It's just that she has never bullied men or women. She only has a quirk. She likes to let her servants catch as many cats, dogs, foxes and the like, break their legs, hold them back, and watch their larvae for fun.
As a result, a horrifying statement soon came out in the General Military Officer's Office. The only son of the Chief Military Officer had his hands and feet cut off, and he would end up like the cats, dogs and foxes that suffered in his hands. The young man was stuffed with cotton cloth and thrown on the bed. The young man, who had long been drained by wine and sex, was obviously seriously injured, but he was not killed. The commander-in-chief was furious. After confirming that it was a demon, he spent a lot of money to invite two immortal caves. The immortal master came down from the mountain to subdue the demon, and of course he wanted to cure his crippled son with the magic of the immortal family.
At that time, Chen Pingan happened to be walking along the Cao Canal and saw with his own eyes a group of mountain immortals entering the city on an immortal boat.
The leader standing at the bow of the boat was actually a Dragon Gate monk.
For a vassal such as the Mei Glaze Kingdom, it was a big deal to hire someone from the Longmen realm. It seemed that the general's residence was indeed extremely wealthy.
In addition to making it easier for Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi to practice, there was actually a more hidden reason why they chose to stay in Jingzhou.
According to the Xianjia Di newspaper of the inn beside the Chunhua River, the woman in green and the boy in white who appeared out of nowhere once intercepted a man from the Zhu Ying Dynasty known as "Kick" in the sky above Jingzhou. The old sword cultivator of Jindan who was already in the Nascent Soul Realm had a total of three more "stop-and-go" fights before and after Jingzhou. In the end, at the border between the Mei Glaze Kingdom and the Zhu Ying Dynasty, the killing sword happened to be killed. build.
Chen Pingan guessed that Cui Dongshan and Miss Ruan Xiu were "fishing" to lure one or two Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators to leave the mountain, lose the protection of the landscape formation, and then rush to the Meigla Kingdom regardless of the situation. Territory, rescue the golden elixir sword cultivator who has great potential and is the most important weapon of the country.
Otherwise, with Cui Dongshan’s Nascent Soul cultivation and magic weapon, there would be no need for trouble to deal with a Golden Core Sword Cultivator.
It is very possible that the military strategist Ruan Qiong or the Mohist Xu Ruo are hidden near the border of Meigla Kingdom. Even if both of them are there, Chen Pingan will not be surprised.
As expected of the Immortal Master of the Genealogy of the Dragon Gate Realm monks, after gathering with another group of less powerful colleagues, he cured the powerful disciple. However, he will be slightly lame when walking in the future and is destined to be unable to lift. It was a heavy thing. The immortal masters from both sides used the secret treasure of the immortal family and a spiritual creature respectively. Following the clues, they found the monster that dared to attack the general officer's office that night. In a bloody battle in the city, the immortal masters were a comparison. One strike was sharp, but the monster just took a detour to avoid it, and there were dangers everywhere.
In fact, being able to torture the commander-in-chief’s only son in such a human way, sneak in quietly, and leave quietly means that it is easy to kill that young man, but for some reason, the monster did not kill anyone , just hurtful.
In the night, Chen Ping'an kept watching from the top of the city and stood aside.
If the monster hadn’t been stupid and intentionally or unintentionally chosen a route that was not conducive to long-distance escape, there would have been heavy casualties in Jingzhou City tonight. Every time he takes action, he is really reckless at all.
In the end, the monster escaped from the city.
The immortal masters flew across the city like butterflies, leaving behind the water transportation officers and soldiers who could only wave flags and shouts, and continued to chase and kill them out of the city. The officers and soldiers in the city must have broken their heads and never imagined that the two groups of immortal masters went out of the city to pursue and kill them. The momentum was fierce, but in fact it stopped very quickly. Even though there was no trace of the monster, it still deliberately shot out spiritual weapons one after another, hitting an open space continuously, and it was extremely gorgeous.
At the same time, the old immortal master of the Dragon Gate Realm who had not tried his best from beginning to end, changed his direction when he left the city and quietly left the demon-catching army.
Chen Pingan jumped down from the top of the city and followed him from a distance.
In the mountains more than 20 miles away from Jingzhou City, Chen Ping'an stood on the branch of a big tree, watching the old monk fight with a silver-white The magical demon-binding rope successfully bound the raccoon fox that revealed its true form.
The old monk succeeded and used the demon-binding rope to drag the bloody snow-white fox to the vicinity of Chen Pingan and asked with a smile: "What, do you want a share of the pie?"
p>Chen Ping'an fell to the ground and said with a smile: "The old immortal master has done a good job in business. Disciple, go back to the General Military Officer's Office and say something about the big demon that is untamable. Anyway, everyone in the city has seen you. He took action with all his heart and soul, and it was dazzling. I think the feudal official had trouble sleeping and eating, and he had to obediently hand over a large sum of immortal money. I beg the old immortal master to catch the monster to the end. Here, the old immortal master secretly captured the monster. , when the time comes, I will randomly find a fox spirit monster that has just transformed into a human form, and hand it over to the commander-in-chief. Everyone will be happy."
The old monk stroked his beard and smiled, "You, this young man, have good eyesight. Among my dull disciples, there are a few ignorant idiots. You just need to look at them a few times and you will know the point."
Chen Pingan joked: "Old Immortal Master. Could it be that he wanted to kill people and silence them?"
The old monk laughed loudly, "I am not that crazy wild cultivator. For the sake of money, I can deny my parents, my master and my disciples. Just tell me. If the price is fair, it will be a windfall that you deserve. Ma Wuye Cao is not fat."
Chen Ping'an asked: "I didn't know that the old immortal master caught this thing. , What are you using it for?"
The old monk raised the demon-binding rope in his hand, and the demon wailed, "After all, it is a demon that has worked hard to reach the sea-viewing realm. Take it back to the mountain gate and train it. It’s not my boast that its violent temper is cultivated as a mountain protector. This is also a blessing for it.”
Chen Ping’an nodded and said with a smile: “If it is true or false, don’t worry about it. . But I still advise the old immortal master to think carefully and not to catch me with that demon-binding rope."
The old monk's eyes were dark and unclear, "You are such a young man, you really don't know what's good or bad, and you treat me like a villain. A gentleman is really not afraid that good things will turn into misfortune?"
Chen Pingan put his hands on his sleeves and suppressed his smile, "You actually have to be grateful to this monster, otherwise you have committed too many crimes in the city before, and now you have already done it. Half dead."
The old monk in Longmen Realm laughed loudly as if he heard a big joke, and the leaves shook and fell.
Chen Ping'an sighed, "It's a good idea to make money, and what you get is the ill-gotten gains of water transportation officials. I feel good about it. But in order to make money, not only the lives of the people are in vain, but now I have to fight with It would be unkind to join forces and wait for them to come after hearing the news, to catch the demon and kill people, to eradicate the evil."
The old monk looked at the young man who at first glance was just a sick man.
The more I look at it, the more something is wrong.
I became more and more afraid.
Once a cultivator really makes a grudge, it will easily end with the death of one party, or it will be a tangled grudge that lasts for hundreds of years.
Chen Pingan said: "How about I pay for it with you?"
The old monk was hesitant.
Chen Pingan threw out a jade token.
Qingxia Island’s first-class offering.
The old monk did not dare to reach out and catch it. The secret skills of monks are so strange that no one dares to take them lightly.
Chen Ping'an did not return the jade card early and let it hover in the air.In the middle, the old monk in the Longmen Realm looked at it carefully, and then threw out a Grain Rain Coin, "Now our Qingxia Island is a little chaotic, and the momentum is not as good as before. You are also a well-known Genealogy Immortal Master in Meigla Elementary School, otherwise you He is already dead now, and this magic weapon, the demon-binding rope, will also be in my pocket. After taking the money, just calm down for a while, otherwise you can just hide on the top of the mountain and practice Taoism with peace of mind with your disciples for the rest of your life. "
Chen Pingan smiled, "Of course, the price of a Grain Rain coin is definitely not fair, but the price is fair. Is it worthy of this jade token, right?"< /p>
Chen Pingan raised the sword gourd in one shot.
Two flying swords flew out and disappeared in a flash.
The old monk's eyelids were trembling. He waved his sleeves and pushed the jade token back to the young "Sword Immortal" wearing a blue cotton coat. Then he accepted the Grain Rain Money and gave a sign. , smiled and said: "If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. If you are trustworthy, fellow Taoist, you can come to our Longpan Mountain as a guest in the future."
Chen Pingan put away the jade token and took back the sword gourd on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. He smiled and said: "The old immortal master is so good at doing business, I don't dare to come and give money."
The old monk laughed heartily, shook the demon-binding rope, and the snow-white fox fell to the ground, and put away the He also said some tough words, "As long as Qingxia Island can still stand firm in Shujian Lake, Xiaolong Panshan will only give money, but will not dare to accept gifts. It will be too hot. If it is Qingxia Island, it will be hot." The sky is gone, I hope we don’t meet again, otherwise it will hurt our feelings.”
The old monk didn’t hesitate, and left as soon as he said it.
Chen Pingan climbed up the branch, and after a moment, he landed floating on the ground, and he was really gone.
The snow-white fox curled up on the ground, while healing its wounds, stared at the young monk with wide eyes.
Is he really a swordsman?
After she came down from the mountain, she did not dare to show off in the city. She saw not many monks on the mountain, so this was the first time she saw a sword cultivator in her life.
Chen Pingan waved his hand, "Let's go, don't show weakness to the enemy. I know that although you can't fight with others, you can walk without any hindrance. Remember not to appear in Jingzhou territory again in the near future. ”
She blinked.
Chen Ping'an joked: "Why, do you blame me for delaying your good fortune in Longpanshan?"
She said in a clear voice: "Longpanshan raised a very big cat. The scary evil python is a real guardian of the mountain. It likes to eat monsters, so the old bad guy just lied to you. You must be careful in the future."
Chen Pingan nodded, indicating that he would be careful. , and then did not move forward, but squatted down on the spot, "Are you wondering why I, a wild cultivator from Shujian Lake, want to save you?"
She quickly shut her mouth and said no words. Say no more.
Chen Pingan smiled and threw a small porcelain bottle, rolled it down in front of the snow-white fox, and said: "If you are worried, you can keep it for now."
She finally couldn't help but ask, "What do you want, young master?"
Chen PingAn smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, in order not to hurt innocent people, you were almost caught in the city, what are you doing?"
She smiled and narrowed her eyes, acting like a fox, She also looked like a human woman, so it was very interesting. She said in a coquettish voice: "Sir, are we of the same mind?"
But she soon became sad and a little apologetic.
I always feel that I feel sorry for this benefactor by saying this.
Because these guys who are lucky enough to be born as humans, when they curse others, there is a saying that they are worse than animals.
Chen Ping'an waved his hand noncommittally, "Let's go, let's go, people's hearts are full of ghosts and it's very scary. Don't play in the world just because of your cultivation. You have already won the battle with heaven and earth. This is how you have achieved your current level of cultivation, so you must cherish it more. But when you fight with others, you are no match for those Shanze Yexiu and Genealogy Master. Let’s go, even if you can’t help but come to the human world again. , be careful when wandering around the market. Also, don’t think that you will meet people like me every time. How do you know whether a good person today will become a bad person in the future?”
She gently raised a paw, "covered her mouth" and said with a smile: "How can someone who can say that become a bad person? I don't believe it."
Chen Pingan's hands Longxiu, squatting there, smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it, it's up to you, but I can remind you that the old bad guy from Longpanshan might regret it, and after meeting the other immortal masters, he will come over and capture him. You serve as lunch to that evil python."
The snow-white fox hesitated, then quickly put away the porcelain vase and swooped out. After only ten steps, it turned its head. , stand on two feet and bow to say goodbye like the people in the world.
The young man kept squatting there, but he didn't forget to wave to her.
After the little guy left, Chen Pingan stood up and walked slowly towards Jingzhou City, treating it as a night tour in the mountains and forests.
When he thought about losing another Grain Rain coin, Chen Pingan sighed and said that he could not be so wasteful next time.
It’s just that the accountant probably forgot that he seemed to have reminded himself this way after giving away a small summer coin at the dog meat shop.
Chen Ping'an completely forgot about this incident. While walking, he looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky, which made him forget about the world.
