Shi Rou stood up suddenly and looked up. Over there on the second floor, the barefoot old man held Chen Ping'an's neck in his hand. He gently lifted it over the railing and dropped it casually. Shi Rou hurriedly picked it up. live.
The old man said: "This guy thinks too much and sleeps too little. Let him get enough sleep first, and during this time, no one can disturb him."
Shi Rou quickly put Chen Pingan on the bed on the first floor, quietly exited, closed the door, and sat obediently on the bamboo chair at the door as a doorkeeper.
The old man walked down the bamboo building and came to the cliff. Today, the clouds and fog are thick, blocking the view. The painting is magnificent, just like the wind shaking the sea tide. Being at the height of Luoluo Mountain, it feels like being in a marsh country. Slightly to the left, there is a mountain peak adjacent to Luo Lo Mountain, standing alone above the sea of clouds, like an immortal walking on stilts. The old man waved his sleeves and easily dispersed the entire sea of clouds, as if he were opening the door to the mountains and rivers.
Seeing this scene, Shi Rou's eyelids trembled slightly and he quickly lowered his gaze.
If a sleeve hits her immortal body, I really don’t know if my soul will disappear completely.
The Cui Dongshan she was most afraid of visited Luo Luo Shan before. He was on the second floor. Shi Rou had never seen Cui Dongshan who was so lost. The old man was sitting in the house and did not come out. Cui Dongshan was sitting there. In the corridor outside the door, he didn't go in, but he called the old man grandpa.
From that moment on, Shi Rou knew how to deal with the old man. It was very simple. Try not to appear in the sight of the old man named Cui.
The old man stopped and looked into the distance.
A huge black snake with a golden thread on its belly and four claws, quickly climbed the mountain along the wide mountain road from the mountain gate. After approaching the bamboo building, the black snake did not dare to come close. Pei Qian knew it. He obeyed the rules and did not embarrass it. He fluttered to the ground and ran forward with a bow, followed by the girl in pink skirt, flying like pink butterflies, extremely cute. The boy in Tsing Yi seemed to be more listless. He slipped off the tail of the black snake and hung slowly behind the two guys. He was about to meet Chen Pingan. The boy in Tsing Yi didn't know why, but he still felt a little guilty.
When Pei Qian arrived at the bamboo house, Shi Rou quickly repeated the old man's words. Pei Qian was both disappointed and worried. He walked gently at the door of the bamboo house, trying to see the scene inside the house through the gaps in the green bamboo. , of course she found nothing, she still didn’t give up, walked around the bamboo building, and finally sat down on Shi Rou’s bamboo chair, arms folded across her chest, sulking. After the master returned to his hometown, he was not the first When one sees her, she, the founding disciple who shoulders heavy responsibilities, is not too generous or too particular.
Pei Qian secretly glanced at the girl in the pink skirt.
The girl in pink skirt immediately understood, ran to the barefoot old man, and asked softly: "Grandpa Cui, is my master okay?"
The old man nodded and said: "There is some trouble. , But it’s not like there’s no way to solve it. After Chen Ping’an has had enough sleep, he can get it back by giving him some punches.”
The girl in the pink skirt looked pale.
Fighting?
Does she know how miserable the master’s situation was back then?
OneThe boy in Tsing Yi, who had been listening to the conversation with his ears straight up, also looked worried. Poor old man, he jumped into a big fire pit just after returning home. No wonder it took him five years to come back on this long trip. If it were him, he might not dare to come back in fifty years.
Chen Pingan slept for two days and one night before waking up. After opening his eyes, he sat up straight and walked out of the house. He found Pei Qian and Zhu Lian standing vigil outside the door, each with a small bamboo chair. Qian was leaning against the back of the chair with his legs stretched out. He was already sleeping soundly and drooling. For the Heitan girl, this probably meant that she was unable to do anything and was helpless in life. Chen Pingan walked lightly, squatted down, and looked at Pei Qian. After a while, she raised her arm, wiped her saliva randomly, and continued to sleep, whispering in her sleep, vaguely.
Chen Pingan stood up and motioned to Zhu Lian to follow him. The two of them came to the cliff together, where they built a stone table with a chessboard carved on it and four simple stone stools with cloud patterns carved on them. .
Zhu Lian lowered his voice and chuckled: "If Pei Qian saw the young master like this, he would be heartbroken."
Chen Pingan sighed, "It's already very difficult. Well, I prepared for the worst at the beginning, thinking that I would not be able to escape from Shujian Lake within seven or eight years."
Zhu Lian nodded, "Although I don't know the specific reason, I didn't dare to come here for some letters. I asked on paper, but it is extremely difficult to allow the young master to live like this for a long time."
Chen Ping'an took out two pots of Shujianhu Wuwei wine, and drank one pot with Zhu Lian. Chen Ping'an leaned against the stone table, resting one arm on it, took a sip of wine, and said with emotion: "It's hard to describe in words."
"What is character, it is nothing more than being able to withstand the hardships of heaven."
< p>Zhu Lian turned his head and stared at Chen Ping'an's side face, took a sip of wine, and whispered softly: "Although the young master looks haggard now, I have been in love, and I know that the young master now is the most beautiful." You have offended the woman. From now on when you go down the mountain to a small town or county town, the young master had better wear a bamboo hat to cover up, otherwise he will make the same mistake as Ziyang Mansion, which is just to give the women on the street a few more glances. , just incurred a few romantic accounts and fat debts out of thin air."Long-awaited flattery.
Chen Pingan stretched out his hand to rub his cheek and said with a smile: "Do you think I am stupid, or do you think those women are blind?"
Zhu Lian sighed: "Don't listen to the old man You are about to suffer a loss, young master, just wait. Sooner or later, when you get to the outside of the mountain, you will be beaten by the woman..."
Chen Pingan waved his hands quickly, "Stop, stop, drink your wine."
Zhu Lian was heartbroken, "loyal words are offensive!"
Chen Ping'an smiled silently, squinting and looking into the distance with the pure moonlight falling on the world.
Although he was looking south at the moment, Chen Ping'an's new family property would be north of Luolu Mountain.
In addition to the Niujiao Mountain where Baofengzhai originally "camped", the Cinnabar Mountain selected by the Immortal forces, including the Xu family of Qingfeng City, who had seen a bad opportunity and planned to jump off the "sinking ship" of Dali, Others include Cheilyu Back, Sword Worship Platform, Weixia Peak and Huimeng MountainEtc., except for the Sword Worship Platform, which is located in the far west, it is alone and the mountain is not big. The rest are mostly located in the south among the mountains in the west, which happen to be not far from Luolu Mountain. Especially Huimeng Mountain, which occupies a vast area. The previous Immortal Family The power has spent a lot of money, and coupled with the hard work of a large number of Lu family survivors, they have built a series of fairy mansions, like a fairyland on earth. In the end, it was half sold and half given, and returned to the Great Li court. I don’t know how I feel now. , I think I should regret it to my heart's content.
Those gold and fine copper coins owed by the Dali Song family on credit in Laolong City were matched by Wei Bo, and then used by Chen Pingan to buy the mountain, and then written off in one stroke, which was quite refreshing.
Especially the Niujiao Mountain, where a Xianjia ferry was built, is about to be acquired by Chen Ping'an, but it must be named Wei Bo temporarily, otherwise the name will be unfair and the benefits will be too huge. , Chen Ping'an will also be envied by the powerful people of Dali, but privately, this source of living water is full of fairy money, and Chen Ping'an and Wei Bo will split the dividends in half.
Help Gu Can back then
(This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page)
My family and I have fought for water in the fields countless times. I never thought that I would be able to do so now. Looking at such a "fertile land" with amazing harvests.
Chen Pingan recovered his thoughts and asked: "Zhu Lian, you didn't spar with Senior Cui often?"
Zhu Lian smiled and shook his head, "Senior has a very hard fist and has already left. Who wouldn’t admire us at the end of our martial arts dream, but I don’t want to disturb the senior Qingxiu?”
Zhu Lian leaned back and turned to look at the bamboo tower, “I said this, Wouldn’t the old timer mind?”
There was silence and no response.
Zhu Lian said with a smile: "Old seniors are generally reluctant to show up, except for occasionally holding hiking sticks, traveling in the mountains, and discussing knowledge with several old masters from Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain. Xianyun Yehe, but So."
Zhu Lian remembered something and said: "I accidentally found a good seedling in the county town. It was a wealthy daughter who moved to Longquan from Dali Gyeonggi. She was not very young. The elder, thirteen years old, is about the same age as our loser. Although she has just started learning martial arts now, it is a bit late, but she still has time. I have made it clear to her elders. Now I just wait for the young master to nod, and I will take her Leading up to Luopo Mountain, there are now several newly built mansions in Luopo Mountain, which are more than enough for us to live in, and are used to entertain people. Moreover, they are all made of money from Dali, so we don’t need to pay a single copper coin.”
Chen. Ping An nodded. Now that there are more people in Luolu Mountain, these shelters should indeed be built. However, after a formal contract is signed with the Dali Ministry of Rites and those hills are purchased, even if the several hills leased to Ruan Qiong are removed, it seems that one person It is no problem to monopolize a mountain. He is really rich and powerful. By then, Chen Ping'an will become the largest landowner in Longquan County after Ruan Qiong, occupying 30% of the land of the mountains to the west. Except for the small and exquisite Zhenzhu Mountain, any other mountain tops will be occupied. , full of spiritual energy, enough for a golden elixir earthly immortal to practice.
Chen PingAn asked curiously: "If you are willing to lead her to climb the mountain, of course you can, but under what title will she stay in Luopo Mountain, your disciple?"
What if Zhu Lian is the first person in Haoran's world? Disciple, Chen Pingan is really looking forward to her journey to climb up the martial arts ladder.
The four people in the picture scroll of Lotus Flower Blessed Land, Zhu Lian is now the highest realm, a real far-traveling martial artist. Although he took a shortcut, Chen Pingan felt deep down in his heart that Zhu Lian's choice seemed to be eager for quick success. In fact, it is the most right.
Zhu Lian shook his head and said: "This old slave has no interest in being a master for others. Let her be a registered disciple of Luopo Mountain first. Whoever sees her talent in the future can just take it away. What the old slave did was just to keep the money from outsiders, and to increase the popularity of the young master's Luo Luoshan. Otherwise, it would be full of ghosts and ghosts, which would be unreasonable and would not be conducive to Feng Shui. Having said that, if this is the Lotus Root Land. , a disciple as talented as a girl, just like the one I picked up on the roadside when I went to a bookstore to buy books. But in my hometown, I guess it can make a lot of martial arts masters fight for it, and you will beat me and I will kill you. , The brains are splashing everywhere, it’s so bad.”
Zhu Lian crossed his legs, held the wine bottle of Xianjia’s wine with two fingers, shook it gently, and sighed: “It’s true that the world is full of talents. It is definitely not comparable to the Lotus Flower Blessed Land."
Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "How to convince the young girl's family to learn literature and martial arts while being poor?"
Zhu Lian. Hehe said with a smile: "The matter is not complicated. The reason why that family moved to Longquan County is that they can no longer live in Gyeonggi. Beauty is a curse, the girl is stubborn, and the parents and elders are also stubborn and unwilling to bow their heads, so they get into trouble. The old slave helped to deal with the local forces that should be offended. The girl was a family-loving person. There were two scholars in the family, so she was not needed to support the appearance. Now she is She felt very guilty for having caused her elder brother and younger brother to suffer. Thinking of being able to gain access to the power of the Xian family in Longquan County, she agreed without saying a word. In fact, what is going on in learning martial arts and how much hardship it requires? Now she has no idea, and she is also a stupid girl. , But since he can be chosen by me, he naturally has a lot of aura. The young master will know at the first sight that he is similar to Sui Youyou, but not the same."
Chen Ping'an hummed.
Zhu Lian is still reliable in doing things.
Zhu Lian suddenly turned around and shouted, "You money loser, your master is going on a long journey again, why are you still sleeping?!"
Pei Qian fell down along with the bamboo chair. In a daze, I saw that familiar figure and rushed over. As soon as I saw Chen Ping'an's appearance, tears fell like raindrops. His face was wrinkled like black coal, and the corners of his mouth were depressed. I am speechless. Why did Master become like this? She's so dark and skinny, why should I imitate her? Chen Ping'an sat up straight and said with a smile: "How come I haven't seen you grow even after three years in Luopo Mountain? Why, can't you eat enough? Are you just having fun? Have you forgotten to copy books?"
Pei Qian hugged Chen Pingan, who cried and cried, very sad.
WhenNian should have shamelessly followed the master. With her taking care of the master's food and daily life, no matter how clumsy she was, there would still be someone at Shujian Lake who could talk to the master and relieve his boredom.
Chen Pingan glared at Zhu Lian who was gloating at the sidelines.
Zhu Lian picked up the jug and took a big sip of fine wine. Then while Chen Pingan comforted Pei Qian softly, Zhu Lian picked up the small jug with half a jug of Wuti wine left and stood up. Leave.
It seems that the moonlight and time are reserved for the master and disciple who have reunited after a long separation.
Pei Qian finally cried and sat on a stone bench nearby.
She has grown slightly taller, but it is not obvious. For an ordinary girl of thirteen or fourteen, her figure should be as tall as a willow stick, and her face will be longer.
But Pei Qian seemed to be the same black charcoal girl when they parted ways in Red Candle Town.
She chattered and told the master about her "great achievements" in Longquan County over the years. Every once in a while, she would go down the mountain to take care of the ancestral home in Muping Lane for the master, every New Year and Qingming Festival. They would go to the graves and look after the two shops in Qilong Lane. In addition to copying books every day, they would also hold a hiking stick and ride the black snake to patrol the mountainous area to prevent predators from sneaking into the bamboo buildings every day. Practicing the six-step stance taught by her master, the eighteen-stop sword energy, the white ape back sword technique and the dragging knife technique taught to her by Sister Nu Guan, not to mention that she still has to perfect the crazy sword technique that is just a little bit short of reaching the peak... ...In short, she is very busy, not messing around at all, not doing her job properly, and has a good conscience!
As for the little things like chasing dogs, fighting geese, and kicking shuttlecocks, she felt that there was no need to nag with the master. As the master’s first disciple, these soul-stirring deeds and feats were her responsibility. No need to show off.
Chen Pingan patiently listened to Pei Qian's embellished words and asked with a smile: "What didn't Senior Cui teach you?"
Pei Qian's eyes rolled and he shook his head vigorously, pitifully Xixi said: "The old man has a high vision and looks down on me. Master, you don't know that the old man is very personable. As a senior in the world, he is more immortal than the monks on the mountain. I really admire him. Alas, It's a pity that I didn't get into the old man's eyes
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
. I couldn't let the old man give me some advice on my crazy swordsmanship. This is the only thing that makes me feel sorry for Master."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Chen Pingan wouldn't believe it, Pei Qian, who had already tried to please both sides with his words, slapped his fist with a clear sound, which made him very angry. Said: "I have embarrassed Master!"
Chen Pingan bent forward and hit Pei Qian on the forehead with a flick of his finger. The pain made Pei Qian cover his head and gasp.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If you can't stand the hardship, just tell the truth. Who are you trying to fool if you have a high vision?"
Pei Qian rubbed his slightly red forehead and widened his eyes. , with a look of astonishment on his face: "Master, didn't you learn the divine mind-observation skills during your trip? Master, what's the matter with you? Why don't youYou can learn great skills no matter where you go! This makes me, a great disciple, chase after Master? Am I just going to have to live behind Master's ass and eat dust for the rest of my life..."
Chen Ping'an pinched the ears of this flatterer and said, "Hey, keep making it up, I'll see how long you can make it up. "
Pei Qian grinned, but as soon as he saw Master's face, he burst into tears again. He lost all intention of joking with Master and lowered his head.
Chen Ping'an sighed, patted his little head, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you good news. Soon, the mountains of Huimeng Mountain, Cinnabar Mountain, and Yubei Mountain will all belong to your master, as well as Niujiao Mountain. The master owns half of that Xianjia Ferry. From now on, you can follow the various people coming and going and collect tolls with confidence. "
Pei Qian was not very interested and said oh.
Chen Pingan put his hands in his sleeves and continued to look at the night scene south of Luolu Mountain. He heard that when the weather is fine, as long as his eyesight is It was good enough that he could see the outlines of Hongzhu Town and Xiuhua River.
Pei Qian lay on the stone table, gently swiping his fingers along the lines of the chessboard, looking at the master intently.
The two were speechless
After receiving the news from Zhu Lian, the boy in green and the girl in pink skirt came together from the Xinxin Mansion. Chen Pingan turned his head, smiled and waved to let them sit down. , plus Pei Qian, they just made up a table.
The girl in pink skirt ran over quickly, bowed to Chen Pingan, and said respectfully: "Master.
The boy in green clothes also looked presentable. He bowed and raised his head with a bright smile, "Master, you are finally willing to come back, and you are accompanied by a few beautiful little ladies." With? "
The girl in the pink skirt looked at me angrily, "No nonsense! "
The boy in green picked his nostrils and sat down on the stone bench opposite Chen Ping'an. He followed Pei Qian and lay on the table. He said with a puzzled look on his face: "Master, are you wearing a piece of human skin? Masks travel around the world? It's late at night, I'm timid, I'm looking at people, so I'll take it off quickly. "
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Does this mean you don't want the red envelope? "
The boy in green raised his head and looked left and right, "I didn't expect that after taking a closer look, the master looks more and more like a man." ”
Chen Pingan scratched his head, Luolu Mountain? Can it be renamed Mapi Mountain?
Chen Pingan then took out three things from the nearby objects. The old monk at the ferry of Qianhe Country The gifted Jiugong Treasure Box, an Old Dragon Cloth Rain Jade Pendant compensated by the Fu family in Old Dragon City, and only one piece of fox skin beauty talisman left behind were given to Pei Qian, the boy in green and the girl in pink skirt.
As soon as Pei Qian opened it, he saw a dazzling array of small objects, exquisite and unique, but the key is the quantity.
The boy in Tsing Yi hesitated for a moment, but still took the priceless Laolong Buyu.
The girl in the pink skirt couldn't put it down as she twisted the fox skin talisman.
Chen Ping'an smiled and explained to her: "You don't have to work alone to clean the house in the future. Yes, after infusing spiritual energy, you can makeA talisman puppet helps you. Its intelligence is no different from that of an ordinary girl, and it can also chat with you. "
The girl in pink skirt stood up and bowed to Chen Pingan again, meticulously.
Chen Pingan couldn't stop him.
The boy in green suddenly said: "Isn't that right? More expensive? "
Chen Pingan joked: "The sun comes out in the west? "
The boy in green sighed and thought for a while, "I can't accept it. I happened to have heard about the rarity of this kind of jade pendant in Old Dragon City, and it's not a snake gallstone related to the avenue. No matter how much you give me, I won't accept it." Anyone who comes is welcome..."
The boy in green put the jade pendant on the table.
Chen Pingan saw his firm eyes and did not insist on him accepting the gift, so he Without putting it back into his sleeve, he picked up the Wuwei wine and took a sip of wine, "I heard that your brother Yujiang Water God has been to our Longquan County? "
The boy in green drooped his head, "No. "
Chen Pingan said: "Don't think you are stupid, it's because your water god brother is not smart enough. If he comes again in the future, just do whatever you want. If you don't want to see him, just tell him a place to retreat and ask Pei Qian to help you stop him. If you still want to see him, just continue to entertain him with good wine. If you don't have money to buy wine, you won't have money. Okay, you can borrow any wine from me.
The boy in green had a strange expression on his face, "I thought you would persuade me not to see him."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's a pity that we have been friends for hundreds of years. But we continue to be friends. If you are busy and you can't help, just tell them directly that they are really friends." , will understand you. "
The boy in green murmured: "It's not heroic to hang around in the world and tell your brothers that you can't do it. "
As soon as the boy in green said this, he felt even more guilty.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Okay, as long as it is related to money, you still want to be in the Water God Brother, if you don't feel good, you still insist on saying yes. It doesn't matter. You can still come to me to borrow money when the time comes, and I will keep you as the rich and heroic No. 2 person in the river back then. "
The boy in Tsing Yi was completely confused. He didn't care to address him as the master and called him by his first name: "Chen Ping'an, did you have your brain damaged during this trip? "
Chen Pingan sat there quietly, with his hands in his sleeves, the breeze blowing on his face, "When you figure it out for yourself one day, brothers are no longer brothers, even if they can't be friends, you can at least You can have a clear conscience and admit that you have never been sorry to your brothers. It’s not like we can’t afford to eat in Luopo Mountain, so if people in the world are in the world, as long as they have wine to drink, what does money mean? You don't, I do. You don’t have much, I have a lot. ”
The boy in green clothes grabbed the old dragon cloth rain pendant, wiped his face, said nothing, and ran away.
Pei Qian and the girl in pink skirt looked at each other.
p>
Chen Pingan actually had some words that he didn't say to the boy in Tsing Yi.
No matter what, Chen Pingan didn't want the boy in Tsing Yi to be too disappointed in the world he was thinking about.
p>
Wei Bo suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff and coughed lightly, "Chen Pingan, I have news to tell you."
Chen Pingan stood up and said, "What should I say?"
Wei Bo pointed to the mountain gate, "There is a good girl who visits Luopo Mountain at night."
