Chapter 483 Long time no see

This cross-continental ferry of the Skeleton Beach Pima Sect is shaped like a river boat. It is no different from the many small and medium-sized ferries that Chen Ping'an has ridden on. However, after taking off, there is something mysterious. Smoke billows around the huge ferry. Ethereal and illusory armored warriors emerged, like trackers pulling a boat, running in the void of the sea of ​​clouds, making the ferry faster than the wind and lightning, far better than the Dajiu Mountain ferry that was also from the Luzhou Immortal Family in Beiju.

Chen Pingan picked the sword fairy and the sword-raising gourd early and put them on the table. While practicing quietly in the house, he would also take out a few bamboo slips and go to the observation deck to enjoy the scenery. He often rubbed them. The yellowed bamboo slip in his hand at the moment was engraved with the words "clear when there is nothing, clear when there is something". One clear and one behead made Chen Ping'an very attractive.

Although Cui Dongshan gave him a jade bamboo folding fan when he was leaving, when he thought of the famous celebrities who were lying on wicker chairs and shaking fans to cool down during their trip to Lutai, with pearls and jade in front of them, Chen Ping'an I always feel that the folding fan fell into my hands, which really wronged it. I really can't imagine how awkward it would be to shake the folding fan.

After the ferry sails out of the territory of Li Zhu Blessed Land, it will temporarily stop at the ferry of Changchun Palace in the north of Da Li's capital. Changchun Palace is Da Li's first-class immortal cave. The monks are all women. That one After the empress in the palace lost power, she practiced cultivation here. At that time, everyone in the Dali Temple thought that this empress, who was far away from the center, would probably be unable to get up. They never thought that in the end, she would be the biggest winner, giving birth to two sons. One of the national advisors, Cui Xun, supported him vigorously and became the new emperor of Li Dynasty. The other one was even closer to the vassal king Song Changjing. He was about to be crowned king and settled in Laolong City, leading the accompanying capital from afar.

After the death of the late emperor, she had obviously been "imprisoned", as if she had done nothing and everything had the best outcome.

It’s no wonder that people like to say that good people will be rewarded, but in fact they often don’t believe it in their hearts.

Chen Ping'an is different from Gu Can and Pei Qian. His accounting will not be written down on paper, large and small. If there are too many, it will not be remembered. When Chen Ping An went on a long journey for the first time, the Empress of Da Li was so murderous that she directly sent a group of top Da Li assassins to follow her. If they hadn't happened to meet A Liang, a hundred Chen Ping An would have died. All dead.

Of course that woman had her reasons. Her son Song Jixin had suffered a lot when he was Chen Pingan, and he was almost strangled to death by an apprentice kiln worker like him in Mud Bottle Alley in the rain. among.

After walking through the Lotus Flower Blessed Land and Shujian Lake, Chen Pingan could actually roughly sort out the story of the woman.

Obviously, when the powerful Empress Dali was at her most powerful, she began to plan to raise her son Song He in the capital to help her raise her hopes and win over civil and military officials. Song Jixin, who had a prosperous fortune in the Lisong clan, was seizing opportunities in Lizhu Cave. She could earn as much as she could for the Song clan. If Song Jixin died, she would probably shed a handful of bitter tears. It's just that he "died" not long after he was born. Song Mu, whose name had already been crossed off in the Song family tree, died, but it was just another death.It was just once, but at least half of the credit for Song Ji's salary was her mother's credit. Her credit was naturally the credit of her other son Song He. These inside stories, one of them ascended to the Zhu Kingdom, and these important officials of the Li Dynasty all We may not know, but it doesn't matter. The late emperor recognized it, Cui Chan recognized it, and Song Changjing also recognized it. This is enough.

It is a good thing that Song Jixin left Lizhu Cave Heaven alive. Of course, the premise is that Song Mu, who has regained his genealogical name, should not be greedy, be well-behaved, and know how not to compete with his brother Song He for the chair.

So that time Chen Ping'an and Song Jixin, who was on an envoy to the capital of the Sui Dynasty, met by chance at Shanya Academy. The atmosphere was calm and there was no conflict.

When Song Jixin and Chen Ping'an were neighbors, they often talked about strange things. In Chen Ping's big house, the only things that made noise were bottles and cans, and the only fragrance that could be smelled was Medicinal aroma.

However, except for the incident of cheating Chen Pingan and violating their oath, Song Jixin and Chen Pingan were generally on good terms with each other. Without delaying anyone, as for a few strange words, they are really as light as goose feathers in places like Ni Ping Lane and Xinghua Lane. Whoever takes it seriously will suffer. In fact, Song Jixin suffered from the trivial words of these market women. I suffered a lot, because I cared too much about it, and my heart became knotted, which is difficult for gods to solve.

When the ferry approached the Great Li Gyeonggi area, it was a dark night with a sparse moon and stars. Chen Pingan sat on the railing of the observation deck, looked up at the sky, and drank wine silently.

When Chen Ping'an was young, he was most afraid of getting sick. After he went to the mountains to collect herbs, he later became a kiln worker's apprentice and learned how to make porcelain from the old man Yao who looked down on him. Chen Pingan is the most vigilant when it comes to physical illness. As soon as there are signs of illness, he will go to the mountain to collect medicine and boil medicine. Liu Xianyang once laughed at Chen Pingan for being the most squeamish person in the world. He really thought that he was the rich lady of Fulu Street. .

Not only was the young Chen Ping'an watching his mother fall from illness to bed, her treatment was ineffective, she was as thin as a stick, and finally died on a snowy day, Chen Ping'an was very afraid of his own death, as if there was not even a moment in the world. No one who missed his parents was gone.

Back then, my mother always said that it didn’t hurt when I was sick, but I often felt sleepy, so I wanted Xiaopingan not to be afraid or to worry.

The young child really believed it at first, but later he realized that it was not like that at all. The mother gritted her teeth and endured it in order to get him to think less and do less.

The old quilt was torn in many corners.

Wealthy people, who have no worries about food and clothing, all say that if their children remember things early, they will have great potential.

Children from poor families become sensible early, so what else can they do, they just endure hardship earlier.

In Mud Bottle Alley back then, no one cared about a young child cooking on a bench, choking on the fumes, his face full of tears, and still smiling, what on earth was he thinking.

Would a child who traveled alone to the immortal tomb to pray for blessings and make wishes be afraid of the dark and the ghostly rumors in the market?When kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the gods and bodhisattvas, he said that he owed the incense first, and when he grew up, he would definitely make up for it. This was considered pious.

No one will remember that door. Inside the room, the woman endured severe pain and gritted her teeth. There was still a slight sound seeping out between her teeth and she ran out of the bed.

Outside the door, the pale child was at a loss. He squatted on the ground, covered his ears with his hands, and did not dare to cry, for fear that his mother would know that he knew.

Not all close relatives in the world can share the same joys and sorrows.

Coming too early may not always be a good thing.

Before leaving, during the vigil at the ancestral home that day, Pei Qian was in a daze, dozing off, his head dropped, and he woke up suddenly, and found that his master was secretly crying.

Pei Qian said nothing and looked at the master silently.

I vaguely saw a young figure squatting in the corner, facing the medicine jar.

The master, who was still a child, was afraid of growing up, afraid of tomorrow, and even seemed to want to turn back time and return to the beautiful time of family reunion.

Finally, Chen Ping'an came to his senses slightly, rubbed Pei Qian's head, and said softly: "Master is fine, but I'm a little sorry that my mother can't see today. You don't know, Master's My mother's smile was very beautiful. In those days, among all the neighbors in Mu Ping Lane and Xinghua Lane, no matter how sarcastic the woman was, there was no one who would not say that my father was very lucky to marry my mother. Kiss such a nice woman."

In the second half of that night, Pei Qian put his head on his master's lap and fell asleep slowly.

After dawn, Chen Pingan left his hometown again.

After traveling thousands of miles, there is still hometown behind you, not your hometown. You must go back.

————

After Chen Pingan left, Luolu Mountain was more or less lively.

The old man Cui Cheng has always lived in seclusion. Zheng Dafeng is busy finishing things at the mountain gate. He is unkempt all day long. There is nothing he can do. This guy likes to help the craftsmen, and the craftsmen don't find it strange. Even though Lord Chen of Luolu Mountain is said to have a great background and a great background, he is now regarded as having smoke coming out of his ancestral grave and has made great achievements. Some gossips have spread to everyone, and people are too lazy to be jealous. They can only be envious and admired. A dragon kiln apprentice who was born in Mubo Alley can survive to this day. No matter how lucky he is, he must still be very capable.

But this hunchbacked man named Zheng, a gatekeeper, is no better than these lowly coolies, so when we get along with each other, they are unrestrained, making jokes, teasing each other, speaking freely, and they are very harmonious. . In particular, Zheng Dafeng's words had a meaty flavor, and were more convoluted than the rough words of ordinary men in the market, but they were not so refined and sour. Therefore, the two of them were drinking small wine and eating a large bowl of meat at the table. Once someone came, Looking back, I really want to slap the table and give a thumbs up to Brother Dafeng.

Chen Ruchu is still busy cleaning various houses. In fact, cleaning every day is a mess.The clear water is beautiful and clean, but Chen Ruchu still enjoys it and regards this as a top priority, while practicing is a bit behind.

So the girl in the pink skirt is the only one on the mountain of poverty who has all the keys to the house. Chen Ping'an doesn't have it, and neither does Zhu Lian.

Chen Lingjun is still out of tune all day long, wandering around. He made a big splash at the night banquet last time, so he has more friends from the "ganghu". People in all hills and mountains are interested in this distinguished guest. Tsing Yi boys in high positions are quite attentive. For example, the ancestor of Jindan Dixian in Yidai Peak likes Chen Lingjun to be his guest. One old and one young, they drink and talk freely, each bragging about their feats in the past. They are very close to each other. About this Chen Ping'an made a special trip to tell Chen Lingjun in private that he could go to Yidai Peak often, so Chen Lingjun was confident, "Master, I am here to make friends."

After Pei Qian gave two bags of Mahua to Sister Xiuxiu, he remembered what his master had told him, so he accompanied Chen Lingjun to Yidai Peak and took the Qingmei Temple Fairy Zhou Qionglin down the mountain with him. Liu Yunrun, who was holding a young white fox in his arms, loved to join in the fun most in his life, so he also went to Luolu Mountain. However, every time Heitan girl wanted to touch the little guy, the white fox would shrink up and tremble, which made Pei Qian very frustrated. Face, she felt aggrieved. What should she be afraid of? She is a coward. Isn’t there a saying in the book that gathering armpits makes fur? She just thought that if she peeled off the skin and made a dress, it would definitely be valuable, but she wouldn’t really kill her. you.

When Zhu Lian was entertaining guests, he reminded Pei Qian that he could go to school. Pei Qian was confident and ignored him, saying that he would take Zhou Qionglin and the others to play at Sister Xiuxiu's Longquan Sword Sect.

Zhu Lian smiled and said that I would give you five days to play around, so you should have visited all the hills where he and Miss Ruan lived.

Pei Qian started to bargain with Zhu Lian, and in the end Zhu Lian "reluctantly" added two days. Pei Qian was very happy and felt that he had made a profit.

In fact, what Chen Pingan and Zhu Lian said at the time was that Pei Qian would definitely have to wait and see, so let her delay for another ten days and a half. After that, she would be taken away even if she was tied up. Went to school.

So when the little fox meets the old fox, there is still a gap in his skills.

Pei Qian was walking in the wind the past two days, laughing non-stop, looking at everything that looked good, holding a hiking stick, and guiding Zhou Qionglin and Liu Yunrun. She was familiar with the mountains to the west.

The hard work and sweat in chasing the dog out earlier was not in vain.

In the Longquan Sword Sect, not only Fairy Qingmei Guan gave birth to an exquisite mind, but Liu Yunrun, who was fearless, was very reserved. Especially when they saw the woman in green, the only daughter of the legendary saint Ruan Qiong, each one was more honest than the other. Pei Qian almost laughed out loud and had to keep a straight face. Ruan Xiu just glanced at the two strange women at that time. , looked at Pei Qian with a smile, Pei Qian trotted over, Ruan Xiu naturally bent down, Pei Qian stood on tiptoes, and whispered in sister Xiuxiu's ear that the master didn't like them very much and didn't want them to go. Luolu Mountain is a guest, but the master is not interested in the Yidai Peak named Song.The young monks in the garden had a good impression, so I, the founding disciple, led them to visit Sister Xiuxiu.

Ruan Xiu smiled.

She actually stopped forging swords and led the way in person, which flattered Zhou Qionglin and Liu Yunrun, especially the former. She felt that just this blessing that seemed to fall from the sky was enough for her to return to Nantang Lake Qingmei. After viewing it, I gained countless benefits from up and down, inside and outside, virtual and real. But when I think about the kind-hearted woman next to me who is always smiling, she is the only daughter of the chief saint enshrined in the Great Li Dynasty, I feel that some of the skillful methods after returning to Qingmei Temple should be more subtle, and don't turn a blessing into a disaster. .

Liu Yunrun is more innocent. He has a grandfather who is an Earth Immortal Ancestor, and he also knows more about the inside story about Lizhu Cave Heaven, so he admires this person with high status, many stories, and a very good temper from the bottom of his heart. Fairy Ruan.

Now that everyone in the Great Li Dynasty is known as Earth Immortal Dong Gu, there is nothing he can do about it. The only one who dares to say a few words to Senior Sister Ruan is Master, but the key is still useless.

During this period, Pei Qian played like crazy for three days and lived a fairy life. On the fourth day, Xiao Heitan began to feel sad. By the fifth day, he was already very sick. , on the sixth day, I felt like the world was falling apart. On the last day, on the way back from Yidai Peak, she started to droop her head and drag her hiking pole. Zheng Dafeng rarely took the initiative to say hello to her, and Pei Qian also He just responded and climbed the mountain silently.

The next day, Pei Qian took the initiative to find Chef Zhu early in the morning and said that she could go down the mountain by herself without getting lost.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zhu Lian agreed.

In order to show his sincerity, Pei Qian ran down the mountain. But after he was a little far away from the boundary of Luolu Mountain, he started to swagger and feel very leisurely. He went to the stream to see if there were any fish and climbed up the tree. I went to enjoy the scenery. When I got to the small town, I didn’t rush to Qilong Lane. I went to the Longxu River to pick up stones and float them in the water. When I was tired, I sat on the big green stone cliff and ate melon seeds. It was not until the night fell that I was happy. Her heart went to Qilong Lane, but when she saw Zhu Lian sitting on the small bench at the door, she felt like there was a thunderbolt from the sky.

Pei Qian immediately pretended to be limping, leaning on the hiking pole, and said with a grimace: "Old Chef Zhu, when we were going down the mountain, we were halfway there. We ran too fast and fell. A dog eats shit, and it’s just now.” Don’t go to school for the time being.”

Pei Qian frowned and sat on the threshold. Shi Rou behind the counter in the shop was busy calculating. It was very annoying. Pei Qian was bored. He said dullly: "I will go to school tomorrow. Not to mention the wind and rain and the blizzard, even a knife from the sky can't stop me."

Zhu Lianxiao asked: "That's what I sent you. Should you go to the school, or should you let your sister Shi Rou take you there?"

Pei Qian thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Let your sister Shi Rou take you there?Sister, Chef Zhu, you have a lot to do in the mountains. "

Unexpectedly, Shi Rou said softly: "I won't go, let him send you to a private school. "

Pei Qian rolled his eyes. An unloyal guy will never want to eat his own seeds in the future.

Shi Rou sighed softly.

It's not that she's too lazy to go, but she's a little afraid.

Shi Rou is really reluctant to go to the Chen family's school in Longwei County, even though she entered the Sui Cliff Academy with trepidation. , In fact, Shi Rou is very repelled by this kind of place where sages give lectures. It is not only a sense of awe as a ghost, but also a kind of inferiority.

But in this matter, it is precisely Chen Pingan. The best thing about Shi Rou is "wearing" an immortal's relic. Therefore, when she was in the academy, she would initially think of children like Li Baoping, Li Huai, and Yu Lu. Thanks to these young girls, Shi Rou looked at those children with a condescending look. Of course, Shi Rou suffered a lot from Cui Dongshan afterwards, but let's not mention the matter of vision, just Shi Rou's. The state of mind and the awe of the place where books are fragrant are extremely precious.

The same goes for Cen Yuanji. She also has something valuable that she is not even aware of. After climbing the mountain, she clearly knows what Zhu is in her heart. The old immortal is just an old servant of Chen Ping'an, the young mountain master. He is the kind of steward in the Gaomen mansion. However, Cen Yuanji's gratitude towards Zhu Lian from beginning to end has not diminished at all, but will continue to be. Fighting injustices for the elderly.

These kindnesses that are easily overlooked are the valuable things that Chen Pingan hopes Pei Qian will discover by himself.

Chen Pingan does not force Pei Qian to do anything good. Qian must do this, but he must know it.

Chen Pingan almost never leaves half a grain of rice when eating, but neither Pei Qian nor Zheng Dafeng and Zhu Lian are so particular about serving rice. If there are too many dishes on the table and you can't eat them anymore, then there will be "leftovers". Chen Ping'an will not deliberately say anything, and even deep down, he does not feel that they must change.

This is a trivial matter.

This is not a trivial matter.

This is also something that Chen Pingan himself did not think was valuable.

But these things were not trivial. Gu Can and Liu Xianyang may just feel comfortable getting along with Chen Pingan, even though they know that Chen Pingan himself is a very rigid and stubborn person.

But among "seniors" like Zhu Lian and Zheng Dafeng. "In his eyes, he sees it clearly, but he just doesn't say it.

Just like Chen Ping'an's choice of some important matters, even in the eyes of others, it is clear that he is giving and showing kindness, but he must first I asked Sui Zuoyue, asked Shi Rou, and asked Pei Qian.

This kind of calmness is not something taught in books, or even learned by Chen Ping'an intentionally, but due to family tradition and it is like a medicine jar. It was a hard day, but it was good to work through it bit by bit.

In the end, it was Zhu Lian who stayed with Pei Qian.Go to school.

Early in the morning, Pei Qian crossed his arms across his chest, with a straight face, staring blankly at a table of his most beloved possessions.

In addition to the small bamboo box that was already on my back, I couldn’t bring any of the hiking sticks on the table, the yellow paper talismans, or the bamboo knives and swords! It’s really like going to Chui’er’s school, reading Chui’er’s book, and meeting Chui’er’s master!

Pei Qian sighed heavily, stood up, opened the door, and raised her head. Until this moment, she felt that she had some enlightenment, and finally understood the sage sentence in the book, "Even if there are thousands of people, I will go." The essence of the truth.

But she secretly hid a bag of melon seeds. Of course she didn’t dare to do it when the master and gentlemen were giving lectures. Once the school went to Luopo Mountain to complain, Pei Qian also knew that he was unreasonable. In the end, the master You definitely won’t help yourself, but you can’t treat yourself badly when you have some free time, right? Are you still not allowed to find a deserted place to eat melon seeds?

Pei Qian was silent along the way. While walking through the streets, he saw a big white goose. Before Pei Qian did anything, the white goose started to run away.

Pei Qian is finally in a slightly better mood. He is about to leave the world, but he is still a bit difficult to deal with and knows how powerful he is.

Zhu Lian sent Pei Qian to the door of the school and said, "Quarrel more and fight less."

Pei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "No matter what the quarrel is, I will just act like a kid." It’s okay to be mute.”

Zhu Lian waved his hand.

Pei Qian is a little uncomfortable and his legs are a little unruly, otherwise he will study again tomorrow? It's just one day late, it doesn't matter. She turned her head secretly and saw Zhu Lian still standing there. Pei Qian was a little annoyed. The old cook was really busy and had to go back to Luo Po Mountain to cook.

There is a young teacher at the school, waiting there early with a smile on his face.

The young mountain master of Luolu Mountain has already said hello to the school. For this reason, the two old masters of the school, who were born in the Chen family of Longwei River, thought about it and felt that the matter was not a big deal, so they sent an envelope. When the letter was returned to the family, it was the eldest son Chen Songfeng who replied in person, asking the school to treat each other with courtesy. There was no need to act like a formidable enemy, and there was no need to deliberately please. The rules were indispensable, but some matters could be dealt with leniently as appropriate.

Pei Qian is actually not afraid of life, otherwise she was a big kid in her early years. Back then, in Hu'er Town on the border of Daquan Dynasty, she was able to deceive several experienced head catchers, but she didn't dare to say a word. Seriously, send her back to the inn respectfully?

Pei Qian simply doesn’t like studying.

The young master introduced Pei Qian, saying that his name was Pei Qian and that he came from Qilong Lane.

After hearing the interesting name "Pei Qian", which homophonically means "losing money", there was a lot of laughter in the classroom. The young master frowned, and an old gentleman in charge of teaching and solving doubts immediately scolded him. After a while, the whole hall was silent.

Pei Qian didn't care. He took a quick glance out of the corner of his eye and remembered his appearance clearly, thinking that you don't fall into my hands.

Pei Qian walked to an empty seat, picked up the bamboo box and placed it next to the desk, began to pretend to listen to the class.

Pei Qian endured two classes and felt drowsy. It was really difficult. After class, he took an opportunity and tiptoed to the side door instead of walking towards the main entrance of the school.

As a result, I saw Zhu Lian sitting on the roadside eating melon seeds.

Pei Qian forced a smile, deliberately looked around, and asked: "Old Chef Zhu, what are you doing?"

Zhu Lian ate melon seeds and said with a smile: "Sit back and wait for the rabbit."

Pei Qian laughed and said: "It's not like he's in the deep mountains and old forests. Where did this little brother come from?"

Pei Qian turned around and left.

This old chef Zhu is still haunted, and there is no way to do it. It seems that it is not appropriate to skip class today.

In the next few days, whenever Pei Qian wanted to run away, he would see Zhu Lian.

In the end, I had to accept my fate. At the school, although Pei Qian was not young, she looked like a teenager, so her current classmates were actually younger than her. Quite a few.

Pei Qian began to get used to her school life. She would listen to the Master’s lectures, going in with her left ear and out with the other. After class, she would fold her arms around her chest, close her eyes and rest her mind. No matter what, everyone is stupid, and I can't even get the slightest sense of accomplishment by deceiving them.

On this day, Pei Qian began to wander thousands of miles in class again.

Suddenly he turned his head and looked around. A moment later, a young man wearing a Confucian shirt came, accompanied by several old masters in charge.

The group of them did not stop, but Pei Qian noticed this guy and took a look at himself.

At dusk that day, Pei Qian refused the invitation of the two little girls to film, and rushed back to Qilong Lane alone, carrying a small bamboo box.

It turned out that Zhu Lian had come to the backyard of the shop from Luopo Mountain again. Not only that, the young master whom he had met in the school before was also there, sitting there talking and laughing with Old Chef Zhu.

Pei Qian carried a small bamboo box and bowed, "Hello, sir."

There is no other way. Master walks around the world and attaches great importance to etiquette. As a founding disciple, she cannot let others I mistakenly believe that my master cannot teach his disciples.

The young scholar smiled and said: "You are Pei Qian, right? Are you still used to studying in a school?"

Pei Qian pecked at the rice, his eyes were sincere, and he said loudly: "That's good. "It's great. Gentlemen are very knowledgeable. They should go to the academy to be gentlemen and wise men. My classmates will study hard and become Jinshi masters in the future."

Shi Rou suppressed a smile at the counter.

Zhu Lian didn't expose the knack of doing whatever the wind takes.

The young scholar seemed a little uncomfortable.

This flattery is a bit big, making it difficult for the grandson of the Chen family in Longweixi to answer the question, but when a child speaks, he should always be sincere, right? He couldn't ignore the little girl's good intentions, so Chen Songfeng, who had come from afar, had no choice but to smile and nod to her.

Pei Qian bowed again, then ran into his room, closed the door gently, and started copying books. This matter outside the school was what Pei Qian was most concerned about.Really attentive.

After copying the book, Pei Qian found that the guest had left, and Zhu Lian was still sitting in the yard, holding many things in his arms.

Pei Qian held a hiking stick and practiced the crazy sword technique. After standing still, he asked: "What do I want from you?"

Zhu Lian said: "It's a good thing."

Pei Qian blinked his eyes, "What, you've got some money?"

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "Oh, you must have opened your mouth before, and you still have it?" You really hit the mark."

Pei Qian asked: "Can I share the money?"

"It's not your fault."

Zhu Lian. Holding three boxes in his arms, he raised one sleeve, shook it, shook his head and said, "It's your master's friend, Liu Xianyang, who is studying in Posuzhou, who sent a letter and three things to us in Luopo Mountain. The latter was given two for one, as stated in the letter. Among them, the young master was given a book, which contained a touch of "book-turning style" that was hard to buy, and then given to Gu Can of Mu Ping Xiang, a pair of divine clouds. The magic weapon made of bamboo is the bamboo fan. It is said that Gu Can was timid since he was a child. The fan can defeat all the ghosts and spirits that grow underground in the world. As for the last thing, Liu Xianyang bought one when he heard that the young master had his own mountain. The very high-ranking cuttlefish is left to the young master to keep and raise." Pei Qian smiled brightly and praised with his thumb: "This Liu Xianyang is worthy of being my master's best friend, and he is so generous. , Be unambiguous!"

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "In addition to being a friend, he is also a smart person. It seems that this trip to study is not in vain. Otherwise, the situation will be worse after being separated for many years. They are all very different from what they were back then. When we meet again, we don’t know anything to talk about.”

Pei Qian asked: “Can I take a look at the book-turning style and cuttlefish eating?”

Zhu Lian stood up and said: "The wind can't move you when you turn the book. We'll talk about it later when the young master returns to Luo Po Mountain. As for the cuttlefish that costs more money from the gods, I'll keep it first until you return to Luo Po Mountain next time." Mountain, you can satisfy your cravings."

Pei Qian suddenly asked: "Did our family pay for this, or did Liu Xianyang pay for it?"

Zhu Lian said with a smile: "The letter said it bluntly, asking the young master to pay for it, saying that he is a big landowner now, so don't feel bad about the money. If you really feel bad, just bear with it."

Pei Qian said angrily: "That's easy to say. , quickly return the cuttlefish. Sister Shirou and I guard two shops in Qilong Lane, and we only earn more than a dozen taels of silver a month!"

Zhu Lian squinted and said, "You can do it yourself! Talk to Master?"

Pei Qian immediately forced out a smile and said, "Feijian's summons will cost money, so let's talk about it. It's hard for Master to talk about this Liu Xianyang. I'll do it later. Talk about him."

Zhu Lian sneered: "Just you? The whole Luopo Mountain will smell your flattery, right?"

Pei Qian was sitting on the steps. Up, silent.

Zhu Lian didn't care about her. Children were like this. They were happy and sad every day.

After that, waves of people came to Luolu Mountain..

Even Zhu Lian was a little surprised.

One is Lu Baixiang. Not only is he here, he also has two oil bottles behind his butt.

At that time, Zhu Lian was sunbathing with Zheng Dafeng at the gate of the mountain.

Lu Baixiang was no stranger to

(this chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zheng Dafeng, so he moved a bench and sat aside.

The two siblings, who "revered their master like gods", were a little confused.

A bad old man, a hunchbacked man, didn’t show any respect or fear when meeting his master?

Fortunately for the young man, the girl with a wooden gun slung across her back had a cold look in her eyes. She was already sharp and sharp, and she increasingly wanted to keep strangers away from her.

Lu Baixiang doesn't care about this, and as for the two around him, he certainly doesn't care.

After some small talk, it turned out that Lu Baixiang stopped in the central and southern part of Aquarius Continent, and first gathered a group of desperate horse thieves on the border. They were from the southernmost vassal state of the Zhu Ying Dynasty. Later, Lu Baixiang led them to occupy a hilltop. It was a hidden nest of a Jianghu Demon Sect. It was isolated from the world and had a good family background. During this period, Lu Baixiang took these siblings as his The disciple who entered the house, a heroic girl carrying a wooden pole and a spear, was named Yuanbao. The younger brother's name is Yuan Lai. He has a kind-hearted personality and is a moderately talented student. He has good aptitude for martial arts, but his temperament is much inferior to that of his elder sister.

Lu Baixiang regarded it as a bargain picked up on the roadside, and together they brought him a lot of experience in Luolu Mountain. It was up to the two apprentices to decide whether to return to the world or stay here in the mountain.

When Lu Baixiang heard that Chen Pingan had just left Luolu Mountain and went to Beiju Luzhou, he felt a little regretful.

Stop drinking a satisfying meal.

Lu Baixiang plans to stay in Luolu Mountain for a few months.

There is no shortage of houses on the mountain. In Zhu Lian’s words, it means that the family is big now.

Zhu Lian asked Lu Baixiang to go up the mountain to find the house by himself, and he also wanted to chat with Brother Dafeng.

Lu Baixiang smiled and stood up to say goodbye. Zheng Dafeng asked Lu Baixiang to come here for a drink when he had time.

The girl Yuanbao snorted coldly.

The young man Yuan Lai is a little shy.

While climbing the mountain, Lu Baixiang was deeply moved. This time he came to this blessed land of Lizhu, where the roots are falling. Naturally, not two children could match the thoughts and ideas he saw and heard. of.

The girl has a dark face and a sharp look.

The young man has always been afraid of this decisive sister, and he did not dare to walk side by side. The master walked at the front, his sister followed, and he was at the bottom.

Lu Baixiang did not turn his head, but smiled and said: "That rickety old man is called Zhu Lian, and he is now a warrior in the far-traveling realm."

The girl felt that she must have heard wrongly. .

Lu Baixiang continued: "As for the hunchbacked man you think is squinting at you, his name is Zheng Dafeng. I just went to a drugstore in Laolongcheng.When Pu met him, he was a martial artist at the top of the mountain. He was only one step, or even half a step away from becoming a martial artist at the tenth level. "

Yuanbao pursed his lips tightly.

Lu Baixiang, wearing a narrow knife on his waist and dressed in white, continued climbing and said slowly: "I am not telling you this to make you afraid of them. , Master will not feel any guilt when getting along with them, and Master still has some confidence in reaching the top of martial arts. So I just want you to understand one thing. There are mountains beyond the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky. If you want to speak forcefully in the future, you must have enough ability, otherwise it will be a joke. It doesn't matter if you lose your own people. If you lose my face, Master, it's okay once or twice. After three times, I will teach you how to be a disciple. "

Yuanbao raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, don't worry! One day, Master will think that it was right to accept Yuan Bao as his disciple! ”

Yuan Lai smiled secretly.

This sister who has been most competitive since she was a child.

Lu Baixiang suddenly stopped and turned his head, overlooking The girl said, "Everything else is easy to talk about, but there is one thing you should keep in mind. When you meet a person named Chen Pingan in the future, remember to be polite." "

A layer of sweat broke out on Yuanbao's forehead, and he nodded, "Remember! ”

After Lu Baixiang and his disciples settled in, since the owner of Luolu Mountain was not here, the issue of Yuanbao Yuanlai being included in the genealogy of the “Ancestral Master Hall” could only be put aside temporarily.

On this matter, Lu Baixiang and Zhu Lian were exactly the same. If he took someone to Luopo Mountain, he would have to record his name under Luopo Mountain without any discussion.

After that, there would be another master and disciple. The three of them visited Luopo Mountain.

It was the blind old Taoist, the lame young man carrying the banner, and the round-faced girl nicknamed Xiaojiuer.

They were just three of them. It was the Qilong Lane shop that we went to first, and Pei Qian led the way back to Luopo Mountain.

The blind old Taoist was still a little uneasy. When he heard that Chen Ping'an was not on the mountain, he always felt that he had taken refuge. It's not very reliable, but after talking with the manager Zhu from Luolu Mountain, I felt much more at ease. After talking, the blind old Taoist was shocked to realize that he seemed to have all the honors, and he was not considered to be from Luolu Mountain now. To worship, they just receive a salary as a monk from the Xian family as a Qingke, and settle down at the Caotou shop in Qilong Lane. As for the pair of apprentices of the old Taoist, they can only obtain the status of Qingke after they reach the middle five realms. But before that, Luo Luo Shan will provide financial assistance to the two of them, and each of them can advance a sum of fairy money. This is both a human relationship and a business deal. Both are correct.

The key is that he, an old blind man, can see that a bright future is at his feet.

This makes the blind old Taoist drink like a scorching summer. A big bowl of ice wine made my whole body feel comfortable.

When I got off Luopo Mountain, I felt like I was drifting when I walked.

After all, Zhu Lian, the manager of Luopo Mountain, refused to listen to anything. He had to personally take them all the way to the mountain gate before he stopped.

Pei Qian still accompanied his master and apprentice.The three of them left Luo Luo Mountain and made the round trip without feeling any hardship. Besides, it was nice to be able to reunite with Xiao Bai after a long absence and chat with each other.

At this moment, Pei Qian turned his head and saw the old cook, slowly climbing the mountain with his hands behind his back.

Pei Qian scratched his head. Standing on the tall building in the old cook's heart, it seemed that there was an extra young man with a vague face. There was a word in the book that said, clothes and belts. Wind, that’s probably what it means anyway.

The land of lotus flowers and the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom.

It was raining continuously in that alley.

A young man in a green shirt with a slender figure and a beautiful face was walking slowly, holding an old oil-paper umbrella.

Today he was going to borrow books from Zhong Qiu, who was both his husband and the master of the Nanyuan Kingdom, and read some unique books that could not be found anywhere else in the world.

Regarding the imperial examination, Mr. Zhong has said frankly that it depends on fate whether he will be ranked first or third in the imperial examination. Moreover, he is too young after all. The court and His Majesty also have some concerns, but the top two Ranking is definitely not difficult.

So now he is more focused and no longer devotes himself to the imperial examination and crafts. He has begun to read many ancient and miscellaneous books that have been dusty for a long time.

After Master Zhong had a heart-to-heart talk with him, he allowed him to browse through that part of his private collection.

At the corner of the street, an acquaintance who had not seen him for many years walked out.

He was extremely handsome, smiling and looking at the boy holding the umbrella.

With one hand behind your back, holding a folding fan, gently pat your abdomen.

Lu Ti.

The most famous Mr. Lu in the world.

The young man smiled brightly and walked quickly.

Over the years, Mr. Zhong occasionally mentioned this "foreigner" who had not been seen since leaving the capital. He was always worried about his relationship, which was neither an enemy nor a friend, but also an enemy and a friend. It was a very complicated relationship.

But to the young man, this Mr. Lu is a very important person, close and respected.

Lu Di looked at the young man in green shirt and clicked his tongue: "Peach plums, spring breeze, a glass of wine, rivers and lakes, rainy night, ten years of lights, these words are really suitable for the occasion, Xiao Qinglang, we haven't seen each other for ten years. Right?"

Cao Qinglang first put away his umbrella and bowed, then held the umbrella for Lu Ti and said with a smile, "I often hear about Mr. Lu's deeds in the world."

This Mr. Lu has unified the demon sect, and several of his disciples are now either giants of the demon religion, mainstays of the border army outside the Great Wall, or legendary national masters who can call the wind and rain. .

Not long ago, Mr. Lu formally made an appointment with the best person in the world to challenge the transcendent existence, Immortal Yu Zhenyi, who was recognized as being as good as the demon Ding Ying.

Ten years can be said to be short or long.

There are actually many grievances and hatreds caused by Mr. Lu in the world.

But CaoQinglang just read and... practiced silently, guarding this alley and that ancestral house.

Lu Ti waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to hold an umbrella for himself.

Cao Qinglang took a step away and held the umbrella alone without persisting.

There is never any need to be polite with this Mr. Lu.

The two of them walked together on the deserted street. Lu Li smiled and asked, "What are your plans?"

Cao Qinglang slightly raised the oil paper umbrella, and then Moved, then looked up, "I want to go out and take a look, to meet Mr. Chen."

Lu Ti smiled and said: "This is not easy, just reading can't do it, even if you learn The state master’s fists and the fragmentary formulas of the Xian family that he found for you are still not enough.”

Cao Qinglang smiled and said: “There is Bai Yujing in the book, and the building is four high. Eight thousand feet away, the immortal held Hibiscus on the railing."

Lu Li turned his head and looked at him, "This look of stupidity looks a lot like him."

Cao Qinglang finally revealed his feelings. With an innocent air that matched his age, he said excitedly: "Is it really a bit similar?"

Lu Ti joked: "We are somewhat similar to him, is it worth being so proud? Do you know I know that if you were in my hometown, he would have quite extraordinary qualifications for cultivating Taoism. As for him, he has the talent to be an immortal. Well, to put it simply, according to common sense, his highest achievement in his life is nothing more than what he is now. Shit Immortal Yu Zhenyi is a step or two above you. You were young back then, and the Lotus Root Blessed Land at that time was not as spiritually long and suitable for practice as it is now, so he left in a hurry to look too much. The scenery would be much more difficult now."

Cao Qinglang shook his head, stretched out his finger, and pointed to the highest point of the sky. The young man in green shirt was in high spirits, "Mr. Chen is with me. In my mind, it’s as high as heaven and earth!”

Lu Ti smiled dumbly.

Okay, Chen Pingan, you can do it. I went to the Taoist Temple and there was a little fool who admired you so much.

Lu Ti said seriously: "Do you know that even the ascension in your hometown is still extremely risky."

Cao Qinglang nodded, "So if one day in the future , I failed like the sages, and I have to trouble Mr. Lu to send me a message, just saying, 'Cao Qinglang has lived a good life for so many years, but I miss him a little.'"

Lu Ti sighed. He took a deep breath, put away the folding fan, and hit Cao Qinglang hard on the head. "Tell him if you can!"

Cao Qinglang held an umbrella with one hand, touched his head with the other, and said helplessly: "This It’s not as good as Mr.”

————

The Skeleton Beach ferry has already docked at Changchun Palace and then took off.

The other party still did not appear.

Chen Pingan is not in a hurry.

Still practicing boxing.

As the cross-continental ferry was about to leave the territory of Aquarius Continent, Chen Pingan put away his fists and walked to open the door. On the other side of the corridor, a small and exquisite woman in palace attire came forward, and A young emperor without a dragon robe,There was a person Chen Pingan was more familiar with, the Mohist ranger, Xu Ruo with the sword behind him.

Chen Pingan opened the door and did not stand at the door to greet them. He pretended that he did not know the three of them.

Walking back into the room, Chen Pingan stood at the table, but did not take the first seat.

After the three of them entered the room, the woman walked straight to the opposite side of the table, smiled and extended her hand, "Mr. Chen, please have a seat."

Chen Pingan smiled.

The young man had a smile on his face, but did not speak. He turned slightly sideways and just looked straight at his peers who had wandered from Mud Bottle Alley to Luo Luo Mountain.

Xu Ruo laughed softly and said, "Chen Pingan, long time no see."

Chen Pingan then clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xu, long time no see."

The atmosphere in the small cabin can be described as eerie.

The woman covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, "What are we doing? Let's all sit down and talk. We are not members of our own family. Let's stop being polite."

Xu Ruo has already begun to close his eyes and rest.

Song He, the new emperor of Great Li who now owns half of Aquarius Continent, looked around by himself and took the cross-continent ferry. This was his first time boarding the ship, and it seemed a bit strange at first glance. , it’s just like that if you look at it again.

The graceful woman who transformed from the Empress of Great Li to the Queen Mother of Great Li looked at the man in green shirt sitting opposite with a smile, and the first words she spoke were a hidden secret, "My family is in trouble. Thank you to Mr. Chen for taking care of me during those years in Pingxiang."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "It's okay."

From his expression to his words, there was nothing disrespectful about it. There is absolutely no respect at all.

It’s just that Chen Ping’an cursed in his heart: “Well, your mother is good.”

The corners of Xu Ruo's mouth raised slightly, then he quickly wiped it away, and it disappeared in a flash without anyone noticing.
