On the banks of the Tiefu River, several old masters with high hats and sleeves took the lead in walking in front, followed by young men and women in Confucian shirts, all of whom were obviously disciples of Confucianism.
The team was like a long green snake, and everyone recited "Encouraging Learning" loudly.
The river is gurgling and the books are loud.
In the team, there was a young woman in red, with a small silver gourd filled with water on her waist. She was carrying a small green bamboo bookcase and passed the red candle After Zhenhe Qidun Mountain, she once told Master Maoshan in private that if she wanted to return to Longquan County alone, she could decide by herself where to walk faster and where to walk slower. However, the old master did not agree, saying that trekking through mountains and rivers is not a study. To study, you must be gregarious.
During this period, we passed the Tiefu Jiangshui Temple. Yang Hua, the highest-ranking river god in the Great Li Dynasty, a god who almost never appeared, appeared in the eyes of these academy disciples for the first time, holding a handful of golden ears in his arms. Long Sword, watching this batch of reading seeds that have both the Sui Dynasty and the Li Dynasty. It stands to reason that now that Shanya Academy has been stripped of its title of Seventy-Two Academy, Yang Hua, as one of the top landscape gods in Da Li, does not need such courtesy at all.
The Cliff Academy, which can be moved to Donghua Mountain in the capital city of the Sui Dynasty, was once the holy place in the hearts of all scholars in Dali. The owner of the mountain, Mao Xiaodong, is still in Dali today, and he is still very popular, especially in rituals and military affairs. Both of them are highly respected.
When Yang Hua was still a maid holding a sword next to the empress in the palace, she had long admired the Cliff Academy in the capital of Li Dynasty. She even went to the academy with her and had seen it for a long time. She passed the tall old Master Mao, so she appeared today.
The waterfall at the junction of Tiefu River and Longxu River has been waiting for a long time.
Several mountain owners from Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain, as well as Longquan County Governor Wu Yuan, Yuan County Magistrate, and Cao Duzao are all among them.
There is also an old man named Li, who is the head of the Li family on Fulu Street and the grandfather of the three brothers Li Xisheng, Li Baozhen and Li Baoping. The old man who has cultivated in the Nascent Soul Realm is now worshiped as a great Litou, but he has never publicized it to the outside world.
The Song family of Dali had unknown special gifts for the four major surnames and ten families that controlled most of the dragon kilns. The Song family had signed a secret agreement with the saint, and the Song family allowed each family to The natal porcelain that "trapped" one to three Taoist talents was allowed to practice as an exception under the noses of the saints who have sat here in the past dynasties, and was able to ignore the overwhelming pressure of heaven and the prohibition of the secret law in Lizhu Cave. However, after practicing, it was no different than Painting the ground as a prison means that one cannot leave the realm of the cave world without authorization. However, the Song family of Dali has three fixed quotas every hundred years, and can quietly take people out of the cave. As for why the head of the Li family has clearly become a golden elixir earth immortal, but has never been able to be Taking away the Song family from Da Li, this secret matter will surely involve a lot of things.
After all, Old Man Li is a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal. Seeing his beloved granddaughter from afar, his face suddenly burst into smiles that could not be concealed.
I just don’t know why, but I always feel that my granddaughter is still as unsociable and a loner as she was back then.It looked like something different, and the old man was suddenly both relieved and disappointed.
After all, Little Treasure Ping has grown up. She has grown up quietly like this. Really, she doesn’t dare to say hello to her grandfather who loves her so much, so she has grown up quietly like this.
The relationship between generations is most obvious in the Li family. Especially the old man loves his youngest granddaughter Li Baoping more than his two grandsons put together. The key is the eldest grandson Li Xisheng and the second grandson Li Baozhen. Even though the relationship between the two seems to be a bit subtle in the eyes of the servants because their mother's favoritism is too conspicuous, they have never reserved their doting on their sister.
Carrying that old and small bamboo box, Li Baoping walked alone by the Longxu River, which was shallow but louder than the river.
In fact, the team was not far away. Li Huai, who was with two friends, and Lin Shouyi, who was communicating with an academy gentleman, were also carrying bamboo boxes of similar styles.
The three bamboo boxes were all made by one person, which is strange. It’s just that Li Baoping’s one was made the earliest, and its material is the most ordinary, just the most ordinary green bamboo. After Lin Shouyi and Li Huai passed Qidun Mountain, Chen Ping’an made it from Wei Bo’s Fenyong Bamboo, but it’s like this After many years, the color is still emerald green.
As for Yu Lu and Xie Xie, who met Chen Pingan for the first time at the Dali Pass, they did not receive this kind of treatment.
Wei Bo, the righteous god of Beiyue in Dali, did not appear, and neither did the saint Ruan Qiong.
A deputy mountain master of the Cliff Academy who once had a table with Mao Xiaodong and then had a heart-to-heart talk with Cui Dongshan frowned a little. Da Li's move was reasonable but unreasonable.
The two most important people ignored Cliff Academy.
The key is that neither Linlu Academy nor Wu Yuan, the prefect of the county and city, seems to want to explain this.
The deputy mountain chief who was born in the Great Sui family could not help but feel sad. In the final analysis, it was due to the ebb and flow of the national strength of both sides. Thinking back to those days, on the mountains and rivers of our Great Sui and Nalu dynasties, there were How many Dali scholars came here because of its reputation? He was proud of having written poems and sung harmonies with celebrities from both countries.
The team stopped, and the old masters from the academy exchanged polite greetings with the people from Dali.
Li Baoping saw his grandfather, and now he looked like a child. He gently shook the bamboo box and the silver gourd around his waist, and ran over.
The old man smiled and shouted: "Little Baoping, run slower."
Li Baoping stopped in front of the old man, smiled, and called his grandfather loudly. , with a bright smile,
The old man complained insincerely: "The big girl is from the family, it's outrageous."
Not far away, Ma Lian, who was born in a wealthy family in the Sui Dynasty, saw him He breathed a sigh of relief and his mood improved as the girl finally smiled.
Liu watched this scene and shook his head. Ma Lian, a stupid goose, was hopeless. This was the case in the academy. He would lose his mind after not seeing that figure for a few days. Occasionally he would meet him on the road. , but never dared to say hello. Liu GuanjiuI don’t understand why you, Ma Lian, come from a Sui family and have been married for generations, but you don’t even dare to like a girl in the end?
Li Huai knew the inside story. Previously, the academy received a letter from Chen Pingan from Longquan County, and Li Baoping planned to take leave and return home. However, the academy master did not agree at that time, so Li Baoping was about to turn over the letter. While Qiang was running away, news suddenly came out that Master Maoshan would personally lead the way and take some of the academy disciples to Dali Piyun Mountain, travel all the way, and then exchange knowledge with Linlu Academy. In addition, he could watch a Qianbai Academy. It is a rare event that the gods join hands and visit the mountains at night.
It’s still Li Baoping’s fault. She said she wanted to give her junior uncle a surprise and didn’t tell the other side of Luolu Mountain that they could return to their hometown.
As a result, halfway through, Li Baoping got the news from somewhere, maybe he received a letter from home or something, and then he began to lose energy, became more and more taciturn, and returned to the previous few years. The scene when she was studying in the academy. Now at Cliff Academy, as Li Baoping reads more and more quickly, the number of times he asks people for advice and the questions he asks are becoming less and less. At first, almost everyone in the academy was asked the question "Master" Gentlemen, everyone actually feels lonely. Without those who make things difficult, they are really not used to it. They miss the little girl in red cotton coat who asked them strange questions in a serious manner.
Shanya Academy students need to go to Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain first, and then have two days of free movement. Then they will gather again at Linlu Academy to watch the landscape night tour organized by Dali Beiyue. feast.
The group of people passed through the town in a mighty manner.
The old man Li did not go to the ancestral home on Fulu Street, but planned to follow the little treasure bottle into the mountain. Of course, as a Yuanying monk and a Da Li Tou worshiper, he himself has deep Confucian knowledge, and the old man does not have it. Staying with Li Baoping will only make her granddaughter further away from her classmates in the Sui Dynasty.
Just after the students of the Great Sui Academy left the small town and passed by the Pearl Mountain, a black charcoal girl holding a hiking stick and a sword at her waist, followed by a strong yellow dog, walked together. Running, she was short and could not see the red figure in the team, so she ran to the top of the hill where her master was. Only then did she see the familiar figure, waved her hands vigorously, and shouted with great energy: "Sister Aquarius! I'm here , here!"
Li Baoping suddenly turned her head and saw Pei Qian jumping around. She quickly left the team and ran towards the hill.
Li Huai was so happy that he stopped and stayed at the end of the team, then shouted loudly: "Pei Qian! What about me?"
Pei Qian rolled his eyes. , ignored him.
Liu Guan and Ma Lian gloated and laughed.
Over the years, Pei Qian would write letters to Sui Academy from time to time. In her letters, she would occasionally mention Ma Lian and Liu Guan, two of her pawns. After all, they had agreed to follow them in the future. Li Huai traveled together in the rivers and lakes, hunting for treasures and dividing the money 50-50. But if there are not a few little minions around her who are waving flags and shouting, her identity cannot be revealed. Ma Lian is stupid, but loyal, and Liu Guan is very discerning, butTo be a dog-headed strategist.
Li Baoping ran to Zhenzhu Mountain, and Pei Qian ran down Zhenzhu Mountain, and the two met at the foot of the mountain.
Li Baoping reached out and pressed Pei Qian's head, gestured, and asked: "Pei Qian, why don't you grow taller?"
Pei Qian felt as if he had been struck by lightning, feeling depressed. .
Sister Aquarius, you are so incapable of speaking, how can you touch the heart with every opening you make?
Li Baoping suddenly said: "It's okay, your ambitions don't mean you are tall."
Pei Qian was in a slightly better mood, "Yes, yes, I have lofty ambitions, and everyone in Luoluo Mountain has them." You know, Master recognizes it."
At this point, Pei Qian turned his head and glanced sideways at the native dog lying not far away.
The latter lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the guy holding a hiking pole.
Speaking of master, Pei Qian comforted him: "Sister Baoping, don't be sad. My master didn't know you were coming, so he ran away to the world by himself. Don't be sad. I'll look back later." When you see the master, I will help you scold him... Well, just say a few words to him..." Li Baoping, who was almost a head taller than Pei Qian, asked with a smile: "Why are you staying in the small town instead of practicing your crazy swordsmanship in Luoluo Mountain?"
Pei Qian puffed up his chest and stood on tiptoes, "Sister Aquarius, you don't know, I am now I’m showing Master the business of two shops in a small town. They are two very big shops!”
Li Baoping said with a surprised look on his face: “Are you already so good?”
p>Pei Qian nodded vigorously, "Sister Baoping, if you don't believe it, I can take you to Qilong Lane right now! The Spring Festival couplets, door gods, and the word "Fu" (spring) there are all posted by me myself."< /p>
Li Baoping snorted and praised: "Yes, he is not tall, but he can already take care of his little uncle."
Pei Qian smiled from ear to ear, Sister Aquarius does not praise others easily.
Li Baoping looked back at the team and said to Pei Qian: "I want to go to Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain first. When the placement is ready, I will go down the mountain to play with you."
Pei Qian looked at Sister Aquarius, who was tall and thin-faced, and seemed to think of something. The little girl who was full of joy just now suddenly started crying, lowered her head, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and whimpered. She sobbed: "Sister Baoping, Master has lost weight when he came home this time! Even thinner than you, so thin that I can hardly recognize him. Master didn't say anything, but I know that Master is over there at Shujian Lake." Five years have not been good at all. Sister Aquarius, you have studied a lot, are very capable and courageous, and Master likes you so much. You have not visited Master all these years. When Master sees you, he will definitely be worse. I'll be even more happy after seeing you... maybe I won't feel so tired."
Li Baoping laughed, turned his head and looked south, narrowed his eyes, and looked a little narrow. The face is no longer as round as before, and has a bit of an oval shape.
She bent down, wiped away Pei Qian's tears, and said softly: "Okay, okay, blame me, blame me."
After Pei Qian finished crying, he felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, Sister Baoping, I'm talking nonsense."
Li Baoping patted Pei Qian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "See you later."
Pei Qian nodded and watched Li Baoping turn and leave.
Sister Baoping, carrying the small bamboo box, was still wearing the familiar red clothes, but Pei Qian looked at the retreating figure. For some reason, he was worried about seeing Baoping again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. My sister is taller and different. I wonder if Master would have felt this way when he walked into Cliff Academy? Pei Qian must have dragged them to do those things on the Academy Lake that she thought were particularly fun at the time. Was it because Master had already thought of today? Because growing up seems fun and pleasant, but is it actually a particularly unpleasant thing?
Pei Qian scratched her head and stamped her feet, feeling annoyed. She was now the third shopkeeper of two shops, so why didn’t she remember anything? She took out two bunches of candied haws wrapped in oil paper from her sleeves. Forgot to give it to Sister Aquarius!
She sighed, put back a bunch of candied haws on her sleeve, left one bunch, and started to nibble on it. It tasted really good. As for the money to buy the candied haws, Shi Rou came out of it, and she really, I was just in the New Year's shop, talking a few more words about candied haws, and asked Shi Rou a few more questions, did she hear the sound of hawkers walking around the streets selling candied haws, and after going back and forth, Shi Rou took the initiative to stuff a handful of copper coins. I gave it to her and said I would treat her to food without having to pay back. This was so embarrassing. She, Pei Qian, was not the kind of greedy child, so she stared hard at the copper coins in Shi Rou's palm, then shook her head and waved her hands, saying no, no. But in the end she accepted it, and it was hard to refuse the kindness.
After eating the candied haws, just keep the bunch in your sleeve. After all, Shi Rou came up with the money. Go back and give it to her. As for Sister Baoping’s share, she will pay for it herself tomorrow.
The Jianghu people act so boldly.
Pei Qian waved a walking stick and caught a glimpse of the native dog that was hiding from a distance. As soon as he glared, the native dog immediately ran to her side with its tail between its legs and lay down next to her.
Pei Qian squatted down, grabbed its mouth, and said angrily: "Little brother, what's wrong with you? You're so short. Are you a short winter melon? Isn't it embarrassing? Huh? Speak up!"
It had received a great blessing inexplicably, but in fact it had already become a spirit. It was supposed to be running around in the mountains to the west of Longquan County, just like a native dog chasing the mountains, motionless, its eyes full of grievance and sorrow.
It is now enlightened and psychic, and its backer is the Longquan Sword Sect. Among the mountains to the west, it can be regarded as a landscape spirit that no one can mess with, but it is so far away from speaking human words and transforming into a human form. In fact, it still lacks some moral integrity.
Pei Qian grabbed the native dog's mouth hard and refused to let go. Her eyes widened, "If you don't speak, you are not convinced? Who gave your dog the courage?!"
It didn't move. Dare to move.
Pei Qian twisted his wrist, and the dog's head twisted. The native dog immediately began to whimper. Pei Qian shouted angrily: "Tell me, are you going to bully the big white goose in the town behind my back again?"Already? Otherwise, why would they run away every time I take you with me? Do you know, what is the meaning of fists that are too high to come out? ! I'm so angry. You've been following me for so long and you haven't learned anything. "
That local dog probably wants to die.
Who was riding a big white goose running around in the alley back then?
Pei Qian finally let go of the local dog, let go of her hand, stood up, and clapped her hands. Suddenly she blinked hard and stretched out her hand to rub it.
The master handed it to her after eating it last time in Qilong Lane. It was like this all the time after she bought the bead. Her eyes were sore, but it didn't hurt, but she was a little upset. When she was copying a book several times, her strokes would become crooked in the blink of an eye. If she didn't write neatly, she would have to rewrite it. It is one of the few rules of Master, and she has always followed it, even though no one cares about her copying anymore.
And occasionally she looks at the paper full of words, and she always feels that there are some words. It can move, but when she takes a closer look, it's normal, and the words are lying on the paper neatly.
Pei Qian plans to take the opportunity to take Sister Aquarius to Luoluo Mountain to ask. Ask the old chef Zhu who is idle in the mountains all day long. Anyway, he knows everything. If you can't do it, just ask the mountain god Wei Bo. If it doesn't work, alas, you can only go to the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den on the second floor of the Bamboo House to ask the guy who doesn't agree with you. The old man is going to teach her boxing skills. He is just a few kilograms stronger than his master because of his age. Does his master know anything about it?
Pei Qian began to walk toward the town with a swagger, raising his head and not looking at the road, holding his chest high, and loudly said: "Walking arrogantly, the enemy is panicked! If we are friends, kill the local dog, I will eat the meat and you will drink the soup! ”
The native dog held its tail between its legs and followed the heroine Pei obediently.
————
The town became more and more lively because Many students from Sui Academy who spoke the elegant language of Yizhou came.
Li Huai took Liu Guan and Ma Lian to his house. Ma Lian was dumbfounded. He had seen poor people, but he had never seen such a poor family. However, Li Huai didn't care. He took out the key and opened the door, and took them to fetch water and clean the house. There was more to the town than the iron lock well. There is a well nearby, but it is not as sweet as the water from the iron lock well. Li Huai's mother would only take a long way to go there when something good happened to her family or she heard something bad happened to someone's family. While carrying water, he competed with a group of women, including Granny Ma from Xinghua Lane and Widow Gu from Niping Lane.
Liu Guan was a lazy man and refused to move, saying that he would light the fire. Li Huai was responsible for cooking, so he took Ma Lian to fetch water. As a result, Ma Lian's thin-skinned and tender shoulders were miserable. The woman next to the well laughed at him, and the delicate-looking Ma Lian blushed.
When Li Baoping arrived in the town, he went back home first. His mother’s tears never stopped, and Li Baoping couldn’t hold back either.
Li Baoping left Fulu Street. I went to Qilong Lane, which I was very familiar with. The two shops that have now become the little uncle’s shop were originallyIt was the ancestral property of the braided sheep's horns. Li Baoping went there often when he was a child. What's more, Li Baoping could walk around the streets and alleys in and around the town with his eyes closed. It's just that this time I walked slowly and no longer in a hurry. Sure enough, he saw Pei Qian sitting on the bench waiting for him at the New Year's shop. Li Baoping quickened his pace. After staying in the shop for a while, he and Pei Qian went to Mu Ping Lane and found the ancestral home of his junior uncle. It was clean and there was no need to clean it, so Li Baoping took Pei Qian back to Fulu Street.
Pei Qian squatted next to the small pool, stared at the stones, and looked at the golden crucian carp that was said to have been kept in it for many years, which was given to her by her junior uncle back then, and The longer golden crab was caught by Sister Aquarius herself. In fact, the truth of the matter, to be precise, was that the little girl in the red cotton-padded jacket pinched her fingers for it, ran home with tears all the way, and gave it to her elder brother Li Xisheng. Open the crab's claws.
Pei Qian looked at them for a long time. The two little guys didn't give much face and hid themselves away from people.
The small pool was built by Li Baoping when she was very young. She personally picked up the stones from the stream, only the colorful and beautiful ones. It took a lot of effort to move the ants again and again. With great effort, they were first piled in the corner of the wall to form a hill, and then this pool emerged. Nowadays, most of the stones that are the "founding merits of the country" have faded, lost their luster and vision, but there are still many The stones of different sizes are still crystal clear. Under the sunlight, their brilliance flows and they are full of aura.
Lin Shouyi went there
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The kiln superintendent built the Yamen Office and revisited his hometown. When he was a child, he often visited Have fun here.
The Lin family is a big family in the town, but it is not among the four major surnames and the ten major families. Moreover, the Lin family is not well-known and does not like to deal with neighbors. Just like Lin Shouyi's father, he only supervises construction. He was just a low-ranking official in the government office. When he was serving as the only official in the town at that time, before moving away from Lizhu Dongtian, he had assisted three kiln affairs supervisors, but no one seemed to want to promote him.
The Lin family moved to Dali Capital, but the old house is still there and has not been sold, but only a few old servants are left.
Lin Shouyi has never thought much about his family since he was sensible.
The family seems to treat him the same way.
Both look disgusted with each other.
Even though Lin Shouyi's deeds in the academy have been gradually reported to Dali, the family still seems to be indifferent.
Lin Shouyi didn't find it strange. His father had always been like this. As long as it was something he believed in, other people's words and deeds were wrong as long as they didn't agree with him. And between father and son, the mother will always stand on her husband's side. The way she looks at her son is always cold and indifferent, just like looking at someone who just helps her stay in the Lin family. He is not an outsider or an outsider. What kind of relatives, anyway, they are not like a mother who treats her own flesh and blood, politely, but hiding alienation.
Lin Shouyi recognized those colleagues from his father’s government office back then.Lin Shouyi took the initiative to visit them, but they didn't talk much. There was really nothing to talk about, and chatting warmly with people had never been Lin Shouyi's strong suit.
It is said that Mr. Cao went out for a walk today. According to the subordinates of the government office, there is no doubt that Mr. Cao went out to drink.
Lin Shouyi was inevitably a little strange. It seemed that when officials and subordinates talked about the supervisor who they should have chosen to speak carefully, they all smiled more sincerely and spoke casually.
It happened that Yu Lu took Xie Xie to the ancestral house of the Cao family. After their respective identities were revealed, Yu Lu and Xie Xie were both brought here to meet the handsome young man named Cui Ci. Together they worked as slaves for Cui Chan, the young-looking national master.
The direct grandson of the Cao family of the Great Li Shangzhu Kingdom, who is now Cao Duzao of Longquan County, lives here now.
I got drunk today, so Mr. Cao simply didn’t go to the government office, where he was the most senior official and just nodded. Carrying an empty wine jug, smelling of alcohol, he staggered back to his ancestral home, intending to take a nap. When he met people on the road, he greeted and addressed them with the same name. They were all familiar with each other, men, women, old and young. The little kid wearing crotchless pants even kicked him lightly. The kid was not afraid of him, a high-ranking official. He chased him and spat wildly. Mr. Cao ran and hid. The women on the street were not surprised. Looking at the young official, he was smiling.
This Mr. Cao finally got rid of that little bastard’s entanglement, and happened to meet Yu Lu and Xie halfway. I don’t know whether he recognized or guessed their identities. The romantic, suave and drunk Mr. Cao Asked Yu Lu if he wanted to drink, Yu Lu said he could drink a little. Mr. Cao shook the empty wine bottle, threw the key to Yu Lu, turned around and ran to the wine shop, Yu Lu was helpless, thanked him and asked: "This kind of Is he really going to be the future head of the Cao family?"
Yu Lu smiled and said, "That's right."
Thank you and snorted coldly.
Compared with Yuan County Magistrate who was gentle and diligent in government affairs, Cao Duzao was a well-known romantic man. He only visited the major dragon kilns once and never visited them again. .
On the contrary, he often travels between small towns and counties. He likes to buy wine, invite people to drink, and even more likes to talk nonsense with others. Almost every time he shows up, he is carrying a wine flask. The only difference is whether there is alcohol in the pot. Men in small towns like to drink and chat with this official from the capital. Every time Master Cao shows up, a large group of idle men who love to drink will immediately gather around him. Listening to Master Cao talking about interesting things in the capital, it’s really exciting. Who cares whether it's true or false? It's just for fun. Besides, as long as you drink too much, Mr. Cao will often say, "I'll pay for the drinks today!"
Both women and young ladies like this young official with a charming smile.
The popularity among women in small towns is no less than that of the young Taoist priest who set up a fortune-telling stall.
On Piyun Mountain.
Mao Xiaodong opened his mouth and said hello to Linlu Academy. The masters who were born in the Sui Dynasty have just met here.The prince Gao Xuan is studying.
Otherwise, no one would dare to say this. They are not afraid of getting into trouble. Who can become a teacher at Cliff Academy? Who doesn’t have such a sense of responsibility and enthusiasm for scholarly business? They were worried that they would implicate Gao Xuan, who was in a foreign country, the son of Geyang in the Sui Dynasty who they asked to replace his brother and come here as a hostage!
Mao Xiaodong left after the two parties met.
The ancestor of the Geyang Gao family in the eleventh realm did not appear.
Gao Xuan looked at the most learned old scholars of the Sui Dynasty who were in tears after bowing to him one by one. The young people who originally did not feel that there was any great grievance in coming here also had tears in their eyes.
Gao Xuan showed respect to those gray-haired scholars of the Sui Dynasty. As a junior Confucian scholar, Gao Xuan bowed to his seniors in return.
The old masters all straightened their clothes and stood solemnly to receive this gift.
At the viewing point named "Haoran Pavilion" in Linlu Academy, the ancestor of the Geyang Gao family who accompanied Gao Xuan to Dali was standing next to Mao Xiaodong and the old Jiao Cheng Shuidong.
The ancestor of the Gao family chatted for a few words and then left.
He did not serve as the deputy director of Linlu Academy, but remained anonymous and was just an ordinary teacher. The disciples of the academy all liked his lectures, because the old man could talk about things other than books and knowledge, which was unheard of. For example, the novelist and the eccentricities of the blessed land of blank paper. It's just that the local masters of Dali in Linlu Academy don't like this Mr. Gao who "doesn't do his job properly" very much. They feel that preaching and teaching students is not rigorous enough and too frivolous. However, none of the deputy principals of the academy said anything about it, so Professor Da Li of Linlu Academy had no choice but to stop worrying about it.
There are only two deputy mountain chiefs from different academies left in Haoran Pavilion. Cheng Shuidong seems to be an old acquaintance of Mao Xiaodong, and they talk freely.
Lao Jiao and Mao Xiaodong talked a lot about the academy, and also talked about Chen Ping'an in Luo Luo Shan. Among them, they mentioned a small matter, about the request to let a pair of foreign men and women live in Linlu Academy, not to let Wei Bo Instead of sending a message to the academy, he went to the door in person and asked for help from his deputy mountain chief.
Mao Xiaodong said with a straight face: "I finally understand a little bit about the ways of the world."
Old Jiao laughed loudly.
At the top of Piyun Mountain, a man and a woman climbed up and looked into the distance, admiring the scenery of the mountains.
It is Liu Qingshan of the Lion Garden and Liu Boqi, the female crown prince of the Master Sword Room.
Liu Qingshan said: "We have been to the Great Li Capital City and the northernmost seaside of Aquarius Continent, let's go back together? Let's go back together to see my father and my elder brother."
p>Liu Boqi nodded slightly, blushing a little.
According to the earliest agreement, the day they return home is the day they get married.
In her eyes, scholar Liu Qingshan is a green mountain, evergreen all year round, green in spring and rippling in spring.
He is well-read in poetry and books, he is concerned about the country and the people, he is sincere in his treatment of others, he is a celebrity and a romantic person... he has no shortcomings.
But she is a cultivator, with mediocre appearance.She only knows how to fight and kill, speaks in an inelegant way, drinks tea like drinking wine, cannot play chess, calligraphy and painting, and has no tenderness at all. It seems that she only has shortcomings.
In fact, she has been worried that the farewell in the future will not be the day when Liu Qingfeng, as a mortal wife, will die of old age.
But Liu Qingfeng suddenly got tired of her one day and felt that she was not worthy of him liking her until he turned gray.
Liu Boqi was very sad.
It wasn’t until she went to the Luolu Mountain that Mr. Zhu broke her knot with just one sentence.
I see how charming the green mountains are, and I don’t expect the green mountains to be so charming when they see me.
How I, Liu Boqi, view Liu Qingshan and how much I like Liu Qingshan, how Liu Qingshan will view me and how I like me.
But Liu Boqi still wanted to confirm it personally and mustered up the courage. But when the matter came to a close, he was still very nervous. He couldn't help but tightly grasped the handle of the deer god's sword at his waist, turned around and said: "Qingshan, I want to ask you something. You are not allowed to think that I am stupid, and you are not allowed to laugh at me..."
But before Liu Boqi could continue to speak, Liu Qingshan gently held her hand. Holding the knife in both hands, he smiled and said: "Do you know how beautiful you are in my eyes? You are more beautiful than you can imagine."
Liu Boqi lowered his head slightly and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Liu Qingshan said softly: "It's my fault, I should have told you earlier. If Mr. Zhu hadn't reminded me to wake up the dreamer, I might have had to wait much later, and I might have to wait until I returned to the Lion Park. I'll tell you what's in my heart."
Liu Boqi raised her head and opened her heart. There was no longer any shyness in her eyes. Only the slight blush on her face showed her just now. Ripples in the center of the lake.
Liu Boqi said softly: "It's a pity that Mr. Zhu was reduced to looking after Chen Pingan's home and home."
Liu Qingshan laughed dumbly.
I wanted to say a few words to help Chen Pingan, but I couldn’t remember Mr. Zhu’s teachings for no reason.
It is enough to not give in on big matters. Why argue with the woman you love about trivial matters? Are you marrying a wife and entering the family, or are you becoming a teacher and accepting a disciple?
Liu Qingshan suddenly felt that Mr. Zhu was really a towering mountain, full of golden words and good words. Before leaving Longquan County this time, I must seek advice from the old gentleman again.
————
In Yang’s shop, the young man who is both a shop assistant and Old Man Yang’s apprentice feels that this life is impossible. The shop’s feng shui is not good and he has a grudge against Qianzi. ah.
It’s not a problem that the business is always deserted. The young man named Shi Lingshan had to recognize his master and do something filial, so he took it upon himself to go to the Yamen Supervisor. The uncle who was the errand boy at the office asked if he could help attract some customers to the door, but he was scolded, saying that the shop and the Yang family were now notorious on the street, and who would dare to run over there.
The young man returned to the shop dejectedly, only to see his senior brother Zheng Dafeng sitting at the door chewing a bunch ofThe movements of the candied haws were particularly disgusting. If it were normal, Shi Lingshan would have pretended not to see it, but the senior sister was still chatting with Zheng Dafeng. He immediately became furious and sat down on the step between the two small benches. Zheng Dafeng Shi Lingshan said with a smile: "Lingshan, did you step on dog poop at Taoye Lane? Senior brother looks at you and doesn't look very good."
Shi Lingshan said angrily: "You can't control it, go back to Luopo Mountain "Look at your door."
Zheng Dafeng pretended to be a senior brother, rubbed the young man's head, shook it, and slapped him away. Zheng Dafeng gnawed on a candied haws and said vaguely. Qingdao: "Senior brother is now rich. He has another house on the other side of Luopo Mountain. It is much bigger than the yellow mud house on the east gate. When are you going to be a guest?"
Shi Lingshan said : "Where are you going? Do you want to continue the shop business?"
Zheng Dafeng said regretfully: "It's a pity. The new house has two rooms, and the beds are very big and sturdy, and they won't roll around no matter how hard they are." If you don't make any noise, I originally thought of inviting you and Su Yatou to spend the night together. It's a new house, so I need to find someone to make it more popular, have a meal on the stove, drink some wine or something, but forget it because it's a long way to go. Su Yatou agreed, it’s good that the two of them have two rooms, so they don’t have to squeeze into the bed.”
Shi Lingshan opened his mouth and regretted it.
The woman whom Zheng Dafeng called Su Yatou said nothing. Even though Zheng Dafeng had not told her about this issue before, she did not refute anything.
She had just asked about martial arts doubts with Senior Brother Zheng. Although Senior Brother Zheng had lost his martial arts skills, his knowledge was still there, and she did not look down upon him at all.
Compared to the young man from Taoye Lane who has not yet truly practiced cultivation, she has been exposed to many inside stories and secrets earlier, and her horizons have been opened up. Even if the world changes, she will naturally become obsessed with the business of a drug store. Not caring at all.
Just when she was about to ask Senior Brother Zheng about the strange incident that caused her to have a subtle reaction, Shi Lingshan interrupted her.
Zheng Dafeng said: "Shi Lingshan, what are you doing standing around? Go get some food and show respect to your senior brother."
Shi Lingshan sat between the senior brother and senior sister without raising his buttocks. .
The woman went to the store to get food.
Zheng Dafeng slapped him over and said, "What an idiot. Just wait until you are singled out."
Shi Lingshan stood up and said angrily: "Be careful with me and you "I'm so anxious."
Zheng Dafeng rubbed his chin, "Girl Su is so pretty. There will definitely be many men vying to marry her in the future. Oh, I don't know which bastard will be there in the future. With this blessing, I, my senior brother, am really tired of fighting against Su Yatou all night long when I think that such a day will come. Fortunately, Su Yatou has always listened to my senior brother's words. I think she will still let me get away with it in the future. This senior brother is the check and helps make the final decision..."
Shi Lingshan was immediately confused, as if his face was muddled by this senior brother.
Shi Lingshan turned around and looked inside the store, Senior sister is at the counter, standing on tiptoes to get something from the medicine cabinet. There are some medicinal materials in the shop that can be eaten directly.
As soon as the senior sister stood on tiptoes and stretched her waist, her figure became slimmer.
Shi Lingshan quickly turned his head and sat back on the steps.
Sister’s real name is Su Dian, and her nickname is Rouge. It is said that her biggest dream in her early years was to open a small shop selling rouge and gouache. The name was also given by her uncle, and her nickname was also given by her uncle. It was particularly unusual. Take heart.
At this moment, a young man carrying a package ran over from the other side of the town.
Zheng Dafeng wiped his face, it was over, he met this kid who had no conscience since he was a child again. Think about how many unjust injustices he suffered from his sister-in-law back then?
Li Huai ran to the door of the shop and said with a playful smile: "Hey, isn't it a strong wind? I'm basking in the sun. Where is your wife? Tell the aunts to stop hiding and come out to see me. I'm listening. "You said you have seven or eight wives, so you are no longer promising!"
Zheng Dafeng said angrily: "Get the hell out of here!"
Li Huai laughed and ran into the drug store, went directly to the backyard, and shouted: "Old Yang, Yang "Old man, what do you think I brought you?"
Old Yang, who was sitting in the backyard, raised his head and looked at Li Huai.
Li Huai took off the package first and ran directly into the main room, which Zheng Dafeng, Su Dian and Shi Lingshan regarded as a forbidden area. He threw it on Old Yang's bed and then left. After leaving the house, he ran to Old Man Yang and took out a jar from his sleeve, "High-quality tobacco purchased from a century-old shop in the capital city of the Sui Dynasty! It costs a full eight coins and one tael. Are you convinced?! I'll ask you if you're afraid. From now on." When smoking dry cigarettes, remember me, my father, my mother, and my sister.
The young man handed over the can of tobacco, raised his hands, and stretched out eight fingers. , shook.
Zheng Dafeng moved the bench to the backyard and sat down to watch the show.
Shi Lingshan also followed, wondering where this guy came from and why he didn't. No matter how big or small, it’s okay to be casual with Zheng Dafeng, why don’t you even have respect for your master?
Su Dian hesitated and stood on the other side of the bamboo curtain.
For the first time, Old Man Yang squeezed out a smile on his wrinkled face. He still had nothing nice to say, "Leave the tobacco and go away." Little kid, you’re not old, but you don’t wear crotchless pants anymore? Don't you find it troublesome to poop and pee? "
Li Huai walked around behind the old man and slapped Old Yang on the back of the head. "A dog can't spit out ivory. If he has the ability to say this in front of my mother, he can say this." Damn words about being struck by lightning? Are you looking for a cut? ”
Old man Yang was not angry at all. He just loaded the tobacco skillfully and started puffing away. Then with a gloomy face, he took a sip and cursed: “Go back and smash the sign of that shop.” , what junk, not worth the price.
Li Huai laughed loudly and said: "You don't dare, eight coins and one tael are the treasure of the store.", I can't afford it, it's still on display in someone else's shop. I'd like to buy it, but they won't sell it. I did what I could and bought you cheaper ones. I don't care about the courtesy but the affection. How far have I traveled with these tobaccos? Yang Lao'er, you're a guy who likes to stay still, how do you know how far away those thousands of mountains and rivers are? Yang Lao'er, I'm really not telling you, while you still have some strength, go out for a walk more often, don't stay here all day, if you go out and see the old woman in the eye, that would be terrible, ****, I’m not allowed to drink your wedding wine? "
Old Yang glanced at Li Huai and was about to curse.
Li Huai covered his ears with his hands and shook his head, "Old Yang loves to chant sutras. Uncle Li Huai won't listen." listen. ”
This scene made Zheng Dafeng’s eyelids and mouth tremble.
It’s been too many years since he had experienced his sister-in-law’s scolding and Li Huai’s peeing all over the floor.< /p>
Su Dian and Shi Lingshan were even more shocked, and the young man swallowed his saliva. They didn't know who this tough boy in scholar's shirt was.
After all, Shi Lingshan is now. I only know that in this small town, there is only a carefree senior brother like Zheng Dafeng. As for Li Er, I have never even heard of his name.
But this young man in a scholar's shirt of unknown origin really dares to talk about it. .
Shi Lingshan felt that he had never had the courage in his life.
Shi Lingshan was still young and had never seen the scene of the drug store, otherwise it would be even more incredible.
When Li Er was still working as a clerk in a drug store, Li Huai liked to carry his mother on his back and come here alone to play wildly. Whenever he bumped into someone, he would roll around and become covered in mud. When he returned, he would just give it to his mother. From the looks of it, she was probably extremely distressed, not only for her clothes, but also for her grey-looking son, so she wanted to bring her son here to curse the streets, curse the world, and even the world without her, it was nothing. When Li Huai wore crotchless pants, he couldn't hold back his urine all day long. He sprayed water everywhere on the hillside of Old Man Yang in the backyard of the drug store.
Even Li Er couldn't hold back his urine. He felt really sorry for his master, so he apologized to him several times, but Old Man Yang never cared about it, so Li Er just went along and hit the little boy with his cigarette pole. Li Huai is a little bastard. It's strange that he fell down and cried so much that Old Man Yang scolded him or "beat him" with a cigarette pole, but he didn't hold grudges and still liked to be silly and cheerful. Of course, only after he was tired of tossing himself, he would calm down, move a small bench, sit aside, hold his chin, and watch Old Man Yang puffing away for a long time.
Li Huai squatted beside Old Yang and whispered in the old man's ear: "Old Yang, do you have any valuable family heirlooms? How many can you give me? Anyway, you don’t seem to be planning to marry and have children, but aren’t you just leaving it to me, whether you give it early or later, isn’t it the same? ”
Old man Yang shook his head, “There are a few things left for you, but we’ll talk about them later.
Li Huai sighed and said: "Don't be too late, God!"I know that my sister will get married one day. Our family is poor, so I might have to give my sister a wife
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I come to my husband’s house to look down on me. But it's all up to you to hold up the scene. "
Old Yang twitched his lips.
Li Huai suddenly turned his head and said, "Old Yang, please smoke less in the future. You are too old to pay attention to your health. , eat more light food, go out for a walk more, you are bored here all day waiting to die, I think your body is quite strong, it is no problem to climb a mountain to collect medicine. Okay, chatting with you is the most boring thing. Let’s go. Inside the package are all newly bought clothes and shoes. Remember to put them on yourself. "
Li Huai left as soon as he said so.
Of course he did not forget to curse Zheng Dafeng, and then said goodbye with a smile to Shi Lingshan and Su Dian.
It’s obvious that it’s the other way around.

The ancient temple is about 700 miles away from Jianshui Villa in Shushui Country
Back then, I walked on foot, so I walked slowly, but when Chen Pingan traveled far away with his sword, he went very quickly.
He didn’t go directly to the villa, or even to the bustling town, which was far away. With more than a hundred miles left, Chen Ping'an landed on a high mountain with his sword. Looking down at the mountains and rivers, he could vaguely see some clues. Not only were the mountains and rivers beautiful, there were also light clouds and mist, covering one of the mountain peaks like a veil. When he landed on the top of the mountain and put his sword into its sheath, a god who should be from one land appeared, bowed to Chen Pingan, and called him the Immortal Master.
Chen Pingan took off his bamboo hat, quickly clasped his fists in return, and smiled. Said: "I'm just passing by, Lord Tutu doesn't need to do this. ”
It is a custom in my hometown in Longquan County that after a loved one dies, they go to the mountain to select a tomb and break the ground. They need to first press paper money with stones and place it at certain specific locations on the mountain. This is equivalent to leasing the top of the mountain with the landowner. When the coffin is carried out and buried, paper money will be thrown along the way. According to the old man's opinion, this is to buy money for relatives to guide the way through the land master, so that they can pass through the gate of hell and walk through the road of hell smoothly.
Chen Ping'an is very fond of this. This incident is very memorable. However, when I left the town for the first time, I met Wei Bo, who was still "detained" in Qidun Mountain. At that time, Chen Ping'an was actually lost for a long time.
At the moment, the middle-aged man did not dare to stay too long. His expression was respectful. After a few words of greeting, the man in charge of the land in the mountainous area was about to say goodbye and leave.
It was because of this. The other party was clearly a swordsman with a small land, and he couldn't afford it. If he was just a middle-level monk, he would naturally not want to miss it.
Chen Pingan took out a pot of Wuwei wine and handed it to him. The somewhat reserved landowner said, “This jug of wine is a welcome gift for me to take the liberty of visiting the mountain. ”
The low-end god, who was not even qualified to include his name in the Shushui Kingdom’s landscape genealogy, was immediately frightened. He hurried forward, bowed his waist and took the pot of Xianjia’s wine, and just weighed it. When you look at the wine bottle, you will know that it is not a common thing in the world.
Chen Pingan took off the sword.Gourd, drinking the local roasted food brewed by the old lady in the ancient house, asked: "Lord Tutu, I am going to Jianshui Villa to visit friends on this trip. I wonder how Zhuangzi has been doing in the past ten years?"
The Tudigong carefully planned it, not seeking merit but seeking no mistakes, and said slowly: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, Jianshui Villa is no longer the number one sect in Shushui Kingdom, but has been replaced by the master of swordsmanship Wang Yiran. Hengdao Villa, although this man is a junior of the old sword master Song, he has become the leader of the martial arts alliance in Shushui. According to the current saying in the world, Wang Yiran is the only one left to fight with the old sword master Song. Wang Yiran successfully broke through and truly became a top-notch grand master. His sword skills had become superb. Secondly, Wang Yiran's daughter married the son of a wealthy man from the Shushui Kingdom. Then when Hengdao Villa went south with the Great Li Cavalry, The first to take refuge. On the other hand, our Jianshui Villa has a strong character and does not want to rely on anyone, so its reputation has gradually fallen behind..."
At this point, Diguigong hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to hide. .
Chen Ping'an said: "It's okay, Mr. Land Lord."
The man lowered his voice and said: "The imperial court plans to move Jianshui Villa to the other side. It is said that the general Chu Hao wanted to build a mountain temple with the highest standards under the Five Mountains."
Chen Ping'an took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "It's the one in the art of war. , Chu Hao, the general of Chu who recognized his ancestors as the king of the Li clan?"
Both Wang Yiran and Chu Hao are acquaintances.
Wang Yiran is not a bad person. Although his daughter Wang Coral is far inferior to him, Wang Yiran's words and deeds during that storm actually deserved the title of hero.
As for Chu Hao, who fought side by side with Senior Song and shared life and death with him on the battlefield, Chen Pingan would not seek any revenge. The grievances and grievances were in two places, the battlefield and the world.
However, when it comes to words now, Chen Ping'an will naturally not be polite.
The Earth God smiled and said that he would be wrong if he spoke too much. Just get what he meant. After all, he was still a small land in Shushui Kingdom, but Chu Hao was now the leader of the court of Shushui Kingdom. Of course, the existence of the "Emperor of Shushui Kingdom" must be eliminated.
Chen Pingan put on his bamboo hat, said goodbye to his sword gourd, and clasped his fists again to express his thanks.
The Earth God hurriedly held the pot of wine and bent down, "The immortal master's gift makes the little god panic."
Chen Ping'an left the mountain with his sword.
Tu TuGong suppressed the fear in his heart and wondered: "Song Yushao is only a martial artist after all, how can he meet such a swordsman?"
In the hotel adjacent to Jianshui Villa Outside the town, on a secluded hilltop, Chen Pingan sheathed his sword, walked down the mountain, walked to the official road, and walked slowly.
After passing the small town, we came to the gate of Jianshui Villa.
Chen Pingan took off his bamboo hat and smiled with an elderly concierge of the villa: "Please tell Old Sword Master Song that Chen Pingan invited him to have hot pot."
The old concierge hesitated, glanced at the young man, put his sword on his back and hung his wineHu, he must be a person from the world, but he is a stranger and has never heard of his name. He must not be an old friend of Zhuangzi, and he would visit Zhuangzi at this time. It is really unlucky, let alone inappropriate, so the old man apologized: "This Young Master, we haven’t seen any visitors in Zhuangzi recently, so you might as well come back.”
Chen Ping’an had no choice but to explain that he and Senior Song were really friends, and they lived in Zhuangzi for a while, in that landscape. I practiced boxing by the waterfall in the pavilion.
Jianshui Villa has strict rules. The old concierge guards one-third of an acre and doesn’t like to inquire about things. In addition, Chen Ping’an was practicing boxing at the waterfall before, and Song Yushao moved the Shanshui Pavilion there. It was listed as a forbidden area, so the old concierge had never heard of Chen Ping'an. The key was that the old man thought that although he was old, he had good eyesight and a good memory. He could remember friends from all walks of life who he had met a few times. The old concierge really didn’t recognize the young man in front of him, he had never seen him before!
So the old concierge moved quietly, just blocking the side door, so that this young man who was not very reliable in his words could force his way in. Zhuangzi was not at peace now, and the external troubles were frightening. However, the old concierge believes that this time, it will be similar to the last time when the imperial army invaded the country. As long as the old owner of the village is here, he can always turn danger into good luck.
But deep down, the old man was actually still worried. After all, Chu Hao, who liked to compete with Zhuangzi, not only got promoted, but compared to when he was just an ordinary border general, he was now a powerful man. The government and the public, and then the rapidly rising Hengdao Villa, should have been friends of Jianshui Villa, but the world is so helpless, and they all like to compete for the first place. Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal of Songxi Country, attacked in one fell swoop Killing Lin Gushan, the master of swordsmanship in the ancient Yu Kingdom, the magic weapon "Green Pearl" hung by Su Lang on his waist is proof. Now that Su Lang believes that his swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle, he wants to compete with the old man in swordsmanship. First, Wang Yiran wants to compete with the old master to be the best martial artist in Shushui. As for the two Zhuangzi, it is equivalent to two sects.
But even in their own village, from top to bottom, it is difficult to say that Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal, and Wang Yiran from Hengdao Villa are bad people.
Anyway, having arrived at the gate of Jianshui Villa, Chen Ping'an was not so anxious and patiently talked with the old concierge.
After going back and forth, the old concierge probably confirmed that this young man in the world was not a bad person except for saying nonsense words to fool people, so he blocked the door and started arguing with the other person. I was idle, but the old man had some complaints. This young man was not very smart. He chatted with me for a long time, took a few sips of wine from the flask, and did not ask himself if he wanted to drink, even if he was polite. He wouldn't really take a sip of his wine. Now that he was still guarding the door as an errand, naturally he couldn't drink. Besides, the wine brewed by your own village is very good, but you still want the wine in your broken wine flask? It doesn't smell good. But whether to drink or not is one thing, but whether you, a young man, asks, is another matter.
Of course Chen Pingan also has difficulties. Raising the sword gourd is just a blind trick.People will show their flaws as soon as they take over. He, Chen Ping'an, can't "conjure" a pot of Wu Tiao wine out of thin air from something nearby. What's more, he is really reluctant to part with it. There is no relationship between the two parties. How can he give Xianjia wine to everyone he meets? The reason for drinking is that he, Chen Ping'an, is stingy and stingy, and he is well-known in the world.
The old concierge had nothing to do, so he despised the young man for being ignorant, and followed the other person's words and told him something that the entire Shushui Kingdom knew.
At the temple, Chu Hao had already said that if Jianshui Villa does not move out of this place within one month, there will be consequences.
Wang Yiran was quite kind and did not come to the villa to cause trouble. He was just about to hold a martial arts conference and invited heroes from all over the world to visit Hengdao Villa to participate in the grand event.
As for the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal Su Lang, he will come here recently to "question the sword" with the old village owner. He is not a good person. If he is really not sure, how can he dare to play around with this kind of thing?
The old concierge also said that he had clearly rejected Su Lang's challenge, but the Qingzhu Sword Immortal was still young and vigorous, so he told Jianghu of Shushui Kingdom that he must visit Jianshui Villa. of.
After Chen Pingan heard this, he remained silent.
He and Su Lang had fought twice, but in the end Su Lang turned against him for unknown reasons, and in turn cut off the head of Lin Gushan, who was supposed to be an ally, with a sword.
The old concierge said with emotion: "You, a young man from a foreign country, now you know why I didn't let you in. If it were normal, I would have let you in. Our Jianshui Villa has a few pots to entertain guests." Good wine, but these are not the peaceful days in the past. God knows if there are spies from the imperial court watching over there in the town. Once you walk in and walk out, you can’t tell. Young man, be well. Think about it, is it worth getting into trouble just to make a name for yourself? Why bother coming? Let's go."
Chen Ping'an suddenly turned his head and looked at the door, and the old concierge followed suit. Someone from the house came to the door.
As a result, there was no one around.
When the old concierge looked back, the young man had already handed him a jug of wine and said with a smile: "The old man is an old man, so he should accept this jug of wine based on his kind words. ”
The old man was wondering why the young man had such a visiting sight, so he didn’t think much about it. He thought that this young man had some qualifications to get involved in the world, otherwise he would be dumbfounded. He has good martial arts and good character. You may not be able to become famous. The old man still shook his head and said: "I took your wine and blocked you for a long time, not letting you in. I feel sorry for you. Forget it, you don't have much money. Just keep it for yourself. Besides, I It's the concierge. You can't drink at this time."
Chen Pingan opened the mud seal and shook it, "You really don't want to drink?"
The old concierge was moved when he heard it, but he didn't. Go and pick it up, no matter how good the wine is, it's against the rules, not to mention the people's hearts are far apart, and you don't dare to pick it up.
But the young man suddenly put on his bamboo hat, gave him a wine bottle, turned around and walked up the steps, and said with a smile: "It seems that someone is coming, probably someone."As for me, I went to say hello to the old gentleman and asked him not to come to Zhuangzi to gain fame. ”
The old concierge held the wine bottle and looked up. As far as he could see, there was no one on the road.
But the young man still walked away slowly.
p>
The old concierge couldn’t laugh or cry. After all, he was still a young man with a thin skin. He had been rejected before, and then he found such a lame excuse to step down.
The old man sighed, a little. I couldn't bear it.
But that's how it is in Jianghu. I originally planned to tell the young man who pretended to be a swordsman that when Zhuangzi came back to calm down, I would definitely not stop him.
p>After hesitating, the old concierge swallowed those words back.
It is not a bad thing for young people to hit a wall when they go out to travel.
————
In the lively town near Jianshui Villa, in the private room of an inn, a "young man" whose real age is already forty years old, but whose face is becoming more and more like a crown jewel, ten years ago Although they were almost thirty years old, they now looked like a young master.
He was sitting cross-legged on a futon and was cleaning an unsheathed sword with great detail. The scabbard was placed horizontally. Knee, with the word "Green Pearl" in seal script, was once the favorite sword of Lin Gushan, the first swordsman of the ancient Yu Kingdom. After Lin Gushan was beheaded, this magical weapon that can cut iron as well as mud became
There is also a piece of shiny green bamboo hanging on the waist of this man, which is two feet and six inches long, as long as the sword.
When the blue-shirted swordsman wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a long sword left the town, the beautiful woman who followed him from Songxi Country to this small town, with his head lowered and his sword carefully polished, With light steps, she came to the door and knocked on the door. She was both a sword attendant and a disciple, and said softly: "Master, someone finally visited Jianshui Villa. "
They are both master and disciple, master and servant. They have been here for nearly ten years. The man told her that when someone comes to the sparse Jianshui Villa one day, he will draw his sword.
She has been waiting at the top of the town for the past few days, waiting for that person to appear.
She is a little tired of waiting, because she believes that Master will do it this time. Wenjian Yushuo, after the first battle, will definitely become famous in Shushui, Songxi, and Caiyi countries.
But after waiting for nearly ten days, no one from the world has gone to Jianshui Villa! .
The man in the room smiled: "Very good. "
The female swordsman retreated.
She climbed up to the eaves of a roof, feeling excited, waiting for the master to ask about the sword and draw the sword.
Then A sword that must be unparalleled in the world!
Because the man in the room is Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal!
Su Lang did not get up in a hurry and kept his head down. , wiping the "green bead" sword
Wiping the sword's edge is to cultivate the sword's will and continuously accumulate it.Preparing the sword.
The female sword attendant felt that the days were passing like years. She looked at Jianshui Villa, fearing that Song Yushao would suddenly run away, and then looked at the inn, hoping that the master would appear quickly.
Finally, Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal, put on a green robe again, walked out of the inn door, and stood in the middle of the bustling street that led directly to Jianshui Villa.
Wearing a piece of green bamboo hanging on his waist to show his transcendent identity, Su Lang held a green bead.
On the street, sword energy is as abundant as the tide.
Pedestrians on the street were so frightened that they dispersed one after another.
Then I don’t know who was the first to call out the name of Qingzhu Sword Immortal, followed by words of surprise and surprise one after another.
Then countless good guys either climbed up the stairs, or imitated Su Lang's sword attendant and climbed up to the roof to watch the battle. Among them were some serious-looking men and women, located in different locations in the town. Compared with the noisy and blushing spectators, they were more silent. They were the spies and dead soldiers placed here by Shushui Kingdom.
The woman stood on the eaves of the roof with the widest view, sneering.
Su Lang began to take the first step forward.
The sword energy spreads in all directions.
The second step is to take a step forward.
Some passers-by who were still on both sides of the street, unaware of the situation, began to feel suffocated and hid in shops one after another, only to be able to breathe a little.
When this great swordsman, famous in several countries, took the third step, he was a few feet away.
Those spies who were placed in the small town by General Chu, even if they were watching from a distance, they were still shocked in their hearts. There was such a fierce sword energy in the world.
Su Lang took his fourth step and just left the small town archway.
With his sword intent and momentum, he has reached the pinnacle of his lifelong martial arts.
But at this moment, Su Lang stopped.
A Qingshan swordsman wearing a bamboo hat came from a distance.
The reason Su Lang stopped was because he did not go to Jianshui Villa to ask the sword Song Yushao.
It was because of this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in front of him, because the appearance of this person happened to be the moment when Su Lang was about to pull out the green bead in his hand, which made Su Lang's originally considered flawless mood and perfect momentum. , there seems to be a trace of dirt and stagnation.
So Su Lang chose to stop moving forward.
But let the man come to him in one step.
Su Lang has never been afraid of fighting in close quarters with others, especially if the opponent is a monk on the mountain.
The man wearing a hat looks very young.
"I heard that you want to ask about swordsmanship?"
The man asked: "But hasn't Senior Song already clearly rejected your competition? For Senior Song like this For senior Jianghu, it already means a lot, you still want to go further?"
Su Lang felt that each of these childish questions was more ridiculous than the last. Shouldn't he be a person who can temporarily block his progress? Asked.
The man hesitated for a moment, "As long as there is a reason, no matter whether it is right or not, you can do whatever you want?"
Su Lang smiled and said: "Then you can also find one? "
The man really thought about it, then he held up his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "Think about it, you delayed me from inviting Senior Song to hot pot."
Su. Lang had returned to the realm of perfect sword heart and said slowly: "Then try and see if you can stop me from drawing the sword."
After one punch.
Chen Ping'an couldn't use a shrinking talisman.
The famous Green Bamboo Sword Immortal was walking in a straight line, going back and forth from where he came, and fell on the side of the small town inn he had walked out of earlier.
Chen Ping'an didn't even look over there, turned around and walked back to Jianshui Villa, muttering to himself: "It should be the Seventh Realm we just arrived? No wonder it looks like paper."
Go back to Jianshui Villa again.
The old concierge was confused, because not only the old owner of the village showed up, but also the young owner and his wife.
Everyone looked solemn.
Could it be that the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal showed up?
But the old concierge only saw the blue-shirted swordsman who had gone and returned. The old man was happy. Ouch, this guy is quite thick-skinned. Forget it, for the sake of that jug of good wine, Don't argue with this descendant. Furthermore, in the world of martial arts, sometimes being thick-skinned has its benefits.
In the view of the old concierge, the young man who kept approaching the door was running and waving from afar, "Senior Song, do you want to eat hot pot?"
The old concierge Wipe your face, young man, is this a little too shameless?
