Liu Zhiqing asked: "Do you want to go to my Yuying Cliff to drink tea?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and smiled: "Liu Jianxian seems to have misunderstood me and did not dare to go to Yuying Cliff to drink tea for fear of It's the fine wine."
Liu Zhiqing said: "I like the clear spring at Yuying Cliff far more than the thunder clouds at Jinwu Palace."
Chen Ping'an said suddenly. That’s fine. Should we go on foot or swim against the wind?”
Liu Zhiqing smiled and said, “It’s up to you.”
Chen Ping’an looked at the golden elixir heir in the mansion. The female cultivator from Chunlu Garden said, "Trouble Fairy to sacrifice the talisman boat and give us a ride."
Of course the beautiful woman would not have any objections. She and Liu Jianxian took a boat trip to Yuying Cliff. It is a coveted honor, not to mention that the distinguished guest of Jingzhe Mansion in front of me is also the first-class guest of Chunlu Garden. Although Song Lanqiao, the uncle of Jindan Master from another lineage, was the only one to greet him, he was not as good as Liu Jianxian when he entered the mountain. But since he can stay here, Naturally, he is not a vulgar person.
Yuying Cliff is not on the boundary of Zhuhai. The Chunlupu Patriarch Hall did this intentionally to prevent the two swordsmen from getting into trouble.
The talisman boat took off into the sky and went away. The vast bamboo forest under the three people's feet was like a sea of green clouds. The mountain wind blew and swayed in turn, which was so beautiful.
This time the female cultivator did not make tea to entertain the guests. She was just showing off her tea ceremony in front of Liu Jianxian, which made her laugh.
Arrived at the Yuying Cliff Ferry, after Liu Zhiqing and Chen Ping'an got off the boat, Chen Ping'an asked curiously: "Don't Liu Jianxian know the rules here?"
Liu Zhiqing asked doubtfully : "What are the rules?"
Chen Pingan said: "The fairy rides the boat, and the guests give a small summer coin as a gift."
The female cultivator from Jingzhe Mansion looked confused.
Liu Zhiqing said oh, and threw a small summer coin to her. It made a ding-dong sound, and finally hovered gently in front of her. Liu Zhiqing said: "I was rude in the past."
p>Liu Zhiqing walked forward slowly, "More than a thousand steps further, you will reach the bamboo tube spring beside Yuying Cliff."
Chen Pingan looked around, "I heard that the whole jade spring is Yingya was bought by Liu Jianxian and Chun Lupu?"
Liu Zhiqing nodded, "Five Grain Rain coins, five hundred years have passed."
Chen Pingan turned around and said: "Fairy, just go back first. Then I will go to the Bamboo Sea by myself and know the way."
The young female cultivator nodded, hesitated for a long time, but still did not speak. I wanted to speak, so as not to disturb the enjoyment of the two distinguished guests. I planned to go back and have a good discussion with the master before deciding whether to accept this inexplicable summer money. Take a ride on the talisman boat made by Chunlupu, which was specially commissioned by Taizhen Palace for a large sum of money. This boat has a simple and elegant style. When passing by a place where the spiritual energy is slightly overflowing, poems by literary giants and Qingci Baogao will appear on the walls of the boat. If you are a guest, If you happen to come across a phrase you like, you can grab the words at will like water in your hand, and then place them on a fan or book page at will. The words will last for a long time and have an elegant and ancient charm.
Chunlu Pu is always happy to see the guests take away the characters from Fuzhou.
Song Lanqiao had introduced this matter before, but Chen Ping'an was too embarrassed to do anything at that time. Now he was walking with Liu Zhiqing and was not polite. He picked up two sentences and "put them" on one side of the folding fan. Total crosses: The spiritual book is hidden in the cave and hangs in the jade capital.
Walking side by side with Liu Zhiqing on the bluestone path towards the clear spring, Chen Pingan spread out his fan and swayed gently. The ten characters in running script rippled gently like water plants.
Liu Zhiqing said softly: "We're here."
There is a thatched pavilion on the bank of Yuying Cliff, and a little further away there is a thatched house with only a fence.
There are tea sets and tables in the pavilion, and there is a crystal clear pool under the cliff. The water is extremely clear and there are no fish. There are only beautiful pebbles shining brightly at the bottom.
After Chen Ping'an sat down, he sat opposite the young master's uncle of the Golden Crow Palace. Chen Ping'an closed his folding fan and said with a smile: "Forget it about drinking tea. Liu Jianxian, tell me, what do you want from me?"
p>Liu Zhiqing smiled and said: "If you don't drink, I will still drink."
Liu Zhiqing drew the two characters "True Fire" on the table with one hand, and the golden light of the two characters circulated, and soon The strokes of the two characters converged into a line and turned into two red fire dragons, circling and entwining on the table. Then Liu Zhiqing gently waved his sleeves, like a dragon drawing water, and the spring water weighing several kilograms in the pool flew to the table. It condensed into a ball, then put a celadon tea cup aside, and the spring water began to boil. After a while, Liu Zhiqing took out a few tea leaves from the tea can, gently threw them into the tea cup, and flicked them with one finger, and the boiling water of the spring boiled. A slender tributary flows out, gurgling, and pours into the celadon tea cup, which is just seven minutes full.
Liu Zhiqing raised his cup and drank tea slowly.
Chen Pingan said: "Give me a cup too."
Liu Zhiqing smiled, held another teacup in front of him, and poured Chen Pingan a cup of tea. With a gentle push, he slid in front of Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an took a sip, nodded and said: "Liu Jianxian is the second best tea-making expert I have ever seen."
The first, of course, is Lu Tai.
Liu Zhiqing smiled and said: "If you have a chance, Mr. Chen can bring the master to my Yuying Cliff to sit for a while."
Chen Ping'an put down his tea cup and asked: " Although Liu Jianxian didn't show up at the Golden Crow Palace, he should have had some insight. Why didn't he stop my sword?"
Liu Zhiqing sighed, put down the tea cup that had been raised to his mouth, and put it down gently. On the table, "So what if I stop you? Let's fight without thinking?"
Liu Zhiqing shook his head, "It's boring. After I became a golden elixir, for so many years, relying on me, Liu Zhiqing, Name, the sword cultivator of the Golden Crow Palace traveled down the mountain. How many wrong things did he do? It’s a pity that I am not good at taking care of the general affairs, so I feel that the thunder clouds of the Golden Crow Palace are an eyesore. I am tired of looking at my nephew’s Taoist monk, and I am tired of looking at Jin Lezhi. The unruly junior didn’t like it, but he could only pretend to be out of sight and out of mind.”
Chen Ping’an nodded and said, “It’s Liu Jian’s thoughts that are so different from those of the monks from the Golden Crow Palace.The reason why Immortal can become a golden elixir and to be superior to others is also very likely to be the crux of Liu Jianxian breaking through the bottleneck of golden elixir and becoming a Nascent Soul. Drinking tea here can relieve worries, but it may not really benefit Taoism. "
Hearing this, Liu Zhiqing smiled, picked up the tea cup again, took a sip of tea, and then said: "You should have seen me draw my sword earlier in the Yellow Wind Valley of Baoxiang Country. Among the many golden elixir sword cultivators in the south of Beiju Luzhou, his strength is not small. ”
Chen Ping’an thought of Huang Fenggu’s last sword, and the sword light fell from the sky. It was Liu Zhiqing’s sword that hurt the foundation of Huangpao Ancestor, making it clear that after confirming that the Golden Crow Palace Sword Cultivator was gone, The eminent monk of Baoxiang Kingdom was standing by, still wanting to have a good meal and replenish the essence of the demon elixir with human soul.
Liu Zhiqing said slowly: "But if the sword has double edges, I will be in big trouble. Drawing a sword has always pursued the purpose of "no return of the sword", so sharpening the edge of the sword and practicing the Taoist mind are very smooth when the state is low, and benefit the most when the state is not high, but it becomes more troublesome later on. Ying Dixian is not easy to see. Golden elixir cultivators from other families under Nascent Soul, whether they are sword cultivators or not, as long as they hear that I, Liu Zhiqing, have passed the sword, they are those evil people in the evil way. They will either hide deeply or simply put on a show. With the rogue attitude of killing at the neck, I had killed two people with one sword earlier. One of them died several times, but the second one was either dead or immortal. Later, I became more and more bored. Apart from escorting the juniors from the Golden Crow Palace down the mountain, Between practicing swordsmanship and coming here to drink tea, I almost never leave the top of the mountain. When this situation breaks down, my hope becomes increasingly slim. ”
This involved other people’s ways, so Chen Ping’an remained silent and just drank tea. This tea was transported by water. For Liu Zhiqing, whose key Qi palace was as strong as rivers and lakes, this little aura was already insignificant. For Chen Ping'an, a monk in the "Lower Five Realms", every cup of tea is a timely rain for dry fields. The more the better.
Liu Zhiqing asked seriously: "So I invite you to drink tea. , I just want to ask you why you handed out that sword outside the Golden Crow Palace hilltop, why it came out, how it came out, and why it could be like this... There is no stagnation in the heart and sword. Please tell me something beyond the great road. The words, perhaps to me, Liu Zhiqing, are stones from other mountains that can attack jade. Even if there is only a glimmer of understanding, it will be a huge gain worth thousands of dollars for my current bottleneck.
Chen Pingan raised a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "If I told you to understand one thing or two, Liu Jianxian himself said that it was a rich harvest that could not be exchanged for ten thousand gold, and then just drank it with a cup of tea." I? "
Liu Zhiqing smiled and said: "You threatened to drink one more cup of tea. Apart from the aura of tea, you just wanted to see my unique way of drawing talismans and luck. Does this count as repayment?
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "For a while, I didn't understand the true meaning of the talisman drawn by a golden elixir bottleneck sword immortal, and it was only three things. If I couldn't understand it, forget it." "
Liu Zhiqing laughed, raised his hand, pointed to the clear pool and steep cliff on the side, and said: "If I gain something, I will still have the remaining three hundred years of Yuying Cliff., how about giving it to you? At that time, whether you use it to entertain guests and make tea, or rent it to Chunlu Pu or anyone else, it's up to you. "
Chen Ping'an made a crisp sound, opened the folding fan, and gently fanned the breeze in front of him, "Then please Liu Jianxian, please bring me another cup of tea. Let's drink tea and chat slowly. To do business, we must first confirm both parties. As for character, everything is easy to discuss. ”
Liu Zhiqing smiled knowingly, and from then on, the two parties, one of whom spoke with ripples in his heart, and the other of whom used the martial arts method of gathering sounds into threads, began to “do business”.
A stick of incense Finally, the man stretched out his hand to ask for a cup of tea, and Liu Zhiqing said with a straight face, "Can I trouble this good brother to be sincere? "
Chen Pingan said seriously: "Every sentence is true and every word is sincere! "
Liu Zhiqing waved his sleeves and said, "I won't send you far away. ”
Chen Ping’an thought for a while, shook the fan with one hand, and swept the palm of the other hand over. He grabbed some spring water from the boiling water spring on the talisman on the table, and lit it in front of himself. Take two drops of spring water, then use it as two ends to draw a straight line, then gently tap one end with your fingertips, slowly wipe it to the right, and do not stop until the other end, "Don't look at the big picture, just look at the Some people in one place at a time, assuming that this line is the small world where Liu Jianxian is located, then Liu Jianxian is a monk born and raised in the Golden Crow Palace, and his character is at this end, and the customs and human nature of the Golden Crow Palace, the sword cultivator's character is here, here, and also At this point, it keeps drifting away from your mind. More sword cultivators, such as the tyrannical wife of the palace lord and the domineering sword cultivator Jin Le, are still gathering at the other end. When Liu Jianxian practices in the Golden Crow Palace, he will feel that everything is an eyesore. However, you are of a high enough level and have a higher seniority, so you can protect your true heart, but it stops here, because Liu Jianxian is devoted to practicing swords, climbing high and looking far, and wants to use The Earth Immortal monk was sharpening and cleaning his own sword, and was too lazy to care about the trivial matters under his nose. He felt that it was a waste of time and wasted time, right? "
Liu Zhiqing nodded slightly and sat upright, "That's true. "
Chen Ping'an raised his finger again, pointed at the end that symbolized Liu Zhi's pure mind, and suddenly asked: "When it comes to drawing a sword, why do you choose the distance instead of the near? Those who can conquer others and those who conquer themselves, the former are respected by the people at the foot of the mountain, but the latter seems to be more respected by the people on the mountain, right? Sword cultivators have great killing power and are known as the best in the world, so do they still need to cultivate their minds? Do the flying swords and swords of the sword cultivator, and the masters who control them, need to be pure and free of impurities in both physical and mental matters? "
Chen Ping'an put away his hand and moved the folding fan gently from the left end to the right end, "Liu Zhiqing, can you use this trajectory to draw the sword until the sword's heart is clear? "
Liu Zhiqing fell into deep thought.
Chen Pingan suddenly asked again: "Has Liu Jianxian been a mountain person since he was a child, or did he climb mountains and practice Taoism when he was young? "
Liu Zhiqing stared at the line and said softly: "As long as I can remember, I have been practicing on the Golden Crow Palace Mountain, following my teacher, and never paying attention to the mortal world. "
Chen Ping'an sighed, stood up and said, "What do you think I am?He didn’t say anything. He could only suggest Liu Jianxian to go down the mountain more often and travel as far as possible in the future. "
Liu Zhiqing raised his hand and pressed it twice, "Although I am not familiar with common affairs, I can't say that I have a thorough understanding of people's hearts. The trick is to deliberately deceive me. This Chunlu Garden is half-sold and you gave me Liu Zhiqing's Yuying Cliff for free. You are obviously determined to get it. If you sell it, you will have three hundred years left. Not to mention three Grain Rain coins. Doubling it will definitely not be enough. Difficult, if it works properly, there is hope for all ten. "
As expected, the man quickly sat back down and said with a smile: "Doing business with smart people is fun and convenient. "
Liu Zhiqing raised his head and asked curiously: "Do you care so much about money? Why?
The scholar in white lamented, "Poor Shanze Yexiu, it's hard to make money." "
Liu Zhiqing shook his head, too lazy to care about this person's nonsense.
Liu Zhiqing was silent for a moment and said: "You mean, you want to use the customs and people of the Golden Crow Palace as a A place to wash swords?
The scholar in white clothes smiled and said: "A person with the same rice-white appearance can have a thousand meanings in one sentence. Liu Jianxian is talented and intelligent, and he can understand it on his own."
Liu Zhiqing looked at the straight line and said to himself: "No matter what the result is, whether I will clean the sword with this in the end, just this thought will be of great benefit."
Liu Zhiqing raised his head and said, "As agreed, this Yuying Cliff belongs to you." After getting the land deed, I will go to Chunlu Pu Patriarch again
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Just a word. ”
A piece of gold and jade paper that was priceless in itself fell in front of Chen Pingan. The two sides signed, Chun Lu Pu is the ancient seal character Chun of the jade seal of the Zushitang, and Liu Zhiqing is the character Liu like a sword. Two hundred years later, the word still contained the meaning of sword.
Chen Ping'an did not immediately put away the land deed worth at least six Guyu coins and asked with a smile: "Liu Jianxian is so generous, what do I think?" Thoughts, in fact, are of no benefit, and can’t be said to be a bad thing. I have always been fair and fair in my dealings, and I would not dare to harm a swordsman with infinite killing power. Please also ask Liu Jianxian to take back the land deed, so that I can come here and drink tea without paying in the near future. "
Liu Zhiqing was thoughtful and said with a smile: "After leaving Yuying Cliff, if he really returns to the Golden Crow Palace and cleanses his sword with all kinds of human hearts, it will naturally not be this kind of method. So just take away the title deed. "
Chen Ping'an thought for a moment, then used a folding fan to draw vertical lines from top to bottom on the horizontal line of the table, "The master of the Golden Crow Palace, the Lord of Dayue Mountain. My wife, Jin Le, the female cultivator who persuaded Jin Le not to use the sword against me, each of them has their own origins, inheritance of teachers, cultivation points, experience down the mountain, allies and close friends, believe in the truth, love and hatred... You Liu Zhiqing is innocent. Interested to know? Once you choose to clean your sword, you need to go straight to your heart. As a golden elixir bottleneck sword cultivator, your natal flying sword, with your cultivation and seniority, is actually your biggest enemy. Can you really put it aside temporarily? If your Liu Zhiqing is halfGiving up on the journey and being unable to go all the way to the other end will only damage the original intention, causing the sword's heart to become dusty and the sword's intention to be defective.
Liu Zhiqing smiled and said: "I can confirm that you are no longer a sword cultivator. You may not be clear about the hardships of practicing and the hardships of killing one's mind." Cleaning the sword in the Golden Crow Palace is difficult because there are so many trivial things, and it is also difficult because people are unpredictable and subtle. However, in the final analysis, it must be exactly the same as the earliest difficulty in refining the sword embryo. It's just like taking a trip back to the earliest path of cultivation. I could do it at the beginning, but now I have become a golden elixir sword cultivator. How difficult is it? "
The scholar in white shook his head and smiled: "The same thing, time has changed, but there are two difficulties. "
Liu Zhiqing chewed for a while, smiled and nodded: "I have learned a lesson. "
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I pretend to be profound, but Liu Jianxian really believes it? Are you really afraid that I will take you from the Xian family's mansion to the ditch at the foot of the mountain? "
Liu Zhiqing stood up and said, "I won't bother you anymore. I hope I have the opportunity to come here to drink tea as a guest in the future. The host remains the same. "
In Liu Zhiqing's eyes, he is already a guest at Yuying Cliff here.
Chen Pingan glanced at the land deed on the table, then looked up at the young man in white, " Why is there a sword cultivator like you in the Golden Crow Palace? Did your ancestors accumulate virtue? "
Liu Zhiqing smiled and said: "Your words are unpleasant, but I take them as good words. To be honest, I, Liu Zhiqing, must not boast, but the reputation of the senior monks of the Golden Crow Palace in the early years was indeed much better than it is today. It's a pity that good reputation cannot be exchanged for moral conduct and family fortune. There is nothing more helpless than this. So many times, I think that the nephew just did something that didn't suit his wishes, rather than really doing anything wrong. "
Chen Pingan stood up and said, "How about I make another deal with you? "
Liu Zhiqing asked: "How do you say this? "
Chen Pingan asked a question first, "Brother Chunlupu, will you spy on this place? "
Liu Zhiqing pointed to the hut outside the pavilion, "Do you think my sword is just a decoration? Some rules still need to be explained. For example, when I drink tea here, I will abide by the rules of Chunlu Garden. Once in the Jiamu Mountains, when I saw an enemy of the Golden Crow Palace who wanted to sword, I would turn a blind eye. So courtesy should be reciprocated. If Chunlu Pu doesn't follow these rules, I think this is the way to die if you ask me to draw the sword. ”
“This is the best. "
Chen Ping'an pointed at himself, "Aren't you struggling to find a sharpening stone? "
Liu Zhiqing looked around, "Aren't you afraid that Yuying Cliff will be destroyed? Now Yaquan is yours.
Chen Pingan said: "Choose a place, draw the ground as a prison, you use the sword and I throw the punch, how about it?" "
Liu Zhiqing smiled and said: "I'm afraid you'll die. ”
“I can’t get it. "
Chen Ping'an put on his folding fan and repeated: "I can't ask for it. "
A sentence has two meanings.
————
At the Spring Festival Banquet, Liu Zhiqing, the sword fairy of the Golden Crow Palace, did not show up.
The young swordsman living in the Jingzhe mansion also did not show up.
This makes everyone in Chunlu Garden, where gossip is flying everywhere, regretful.
Leaving him alone, Liu Zhiqing was one of the most outstanding monks on the southeastern coast of Beiju Luzhou. Although he was only at the Golden Core realm, he was still young and a sword cultivator.
The golden sign of the Golden Crow Palace Sword Cultivator was almost supported by Liu Zhiqing's sword after the death of the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator's palace master Bing Jie.
But Liu Zhiqing is familiar to everyone. The locals and monks from Chunlu Pu are more interested in the young foreign swordsman with many stories.
First, a sword split open the thunder cloud protecting the mountain of Golden Crow Palace. Rumor has it that this was said by Liu Zhiqing himself and cannot be false. He also invited this person to drink tea at Yuying Cliff.
The second is that according to the rumors on the ferry, this person relied on the innate sword embryo to temper his body to an extremely strong level. He was not inferior to the martial arts of the Golden Body Realm, and he defeated the Grandmaster of the Tiekou Mansion with one punch. It is said that he only had half a life left after falling into the ferry. Wei Bai, the young master of Tiemou Mansion, did not deny this and had no hidden secrets. Tang Qingqing of Zhaoye Thatched Cottage even admitted that this young swordsman had nothing to do with Chun. Lu Pu is very close, and he is an old acquaintance with his father and the ferryman Song Lanqiao.
Thirdly, the man named Chen Jianxian who stayed at Jingzhe Mansion in Zhuhai would go back and forth between Zhuhai and Yuying Cliff every day. As for his relationship with Liu Zhiqing, the outside world can only speculate.
During this period, there was another secret meeting in Chunlupu Patriarch Hall. After the discussion, some false and big rumors were allowed to spread without restraint, but they began to help cover up the young man intentionally or unintentionally. Jianxian Chen's whereabouts in Chunlupu, his true appearance, and the specific process of the previous ferry incident began to spread suspicions. Rumors spread all over the Jiamu Mountains. Today it was said that he had moved in at Guyu Mansion, and tomorrow he was said to have moved there. After arriving at Lichun Mansion, the day after tomorrow, I said I went to Zhaoye Caotang to drink tea, so many monks who came there because of his fame were unable to witness the grace of the sword immortal.
After the Spring Farewell Banquet, more ferries left Fu Shuidu, and the monks went home one after another. Song Lanqiao, the golden elixir monk from Chunlu Pond, also later boarded the ferry that had already made a round trip to the Skeleton Beach.
But on Laohuai Street in the Jiamu Mountains, there was a small shop. The shopkeeper was changed and it opened quietly.
The shopkeeper is a young man in a green shirt, with a vermilion wine bottle hanging on his waist and a folding fan in his hand. He is sitting on a small bamboo chair at the door. He doesn't do much business, he just baskes in the sun, and anyone who wishes will take the bait.
Laohuai Street, a bustling business district, is rich in land and bustling with monks. For a palm-sized shop, the annual rent paid to Chunlu Pond is a large amount of fairy money.
This small shop with a plaque of "蚍蜉" is filled with miscellaneous objects from the mountains and the mountains, but each piece is placed in an orderly manner on the Duobao grid. There is a A piece of rice paper was cut into strips with the four characters "No counter-offer" written on it. The head and foot of the note were held down by two seals as paperweights. In addition, each Duobaoge also has a stickerThere is a page filled with the names and prices of the goods sold.
The shop is divided into inside and outside, but the door of the back shop is closed, and there is a paper posted, "The treasure of the shop, those who are destined to get it", the words are as big as a fist, if someone is willing to look carefully, they will I found that next to "The one with the predestined relationship will get it", there are four more small-scale characters that look like a side note, "The one with the highest price will get it."
After all, it is a shop that can be opened on Laohuai Street. It is difficult to say the price, but the authenticity of the goods is guaranteed. What's more, a newly opened shop, according to common sense, will definitely bring out some good things to gain attention. Several time-honored shops with strong Shanmen on Laohuai Street have one or two magic weapons as the store's treasures for people to visit. , there is no need to buy it, after all, there are easily a dozen Grain Rain coins, and a few people can afford it, which is actually to help the store gain popularity.
This "荍蜉" shop is relatively shabby, except for a pair of white jade bones marked as coming from the Skeleton Beach, which are somewhat rare, and a complete set of hard-yellow pictures of goddesses from the Mural City. It's not bad, but I always feel that it lacks some real treasures of the immortal family that people can remember at a glance. More, there are some fragmentary antiques, the spiritual weapons may not be counted, and... the powder is too heavy. Yes, there are two shelves of Duobaoge, both of which are filled with items that look like the boudoir of a wealthy woman.
So after ten days, almost all the customers in the shop turned into women who came after hearing the news. They included young female nuns from various mountains and women from many powerful families including the Daguan Dynasty. They gathered in groups. The team, Yingying and Yanyan, came hand in hand and went to the shop to browse and pick up. When they came across something interesting, they only needed to shout to the door of the shop and ask the young shopkeeper if they could get it cheaper. The guy would wave his hand, no matter how soft and gentle the women were, it was all useless, the young shopkeeper was just unstoppable and would never give in.
Many women who had no shortage of thousands of gold and silver but were most annoyed by "not being able to bargain for one or two copper coins" were particularly disappointed and annoyed, and left in anger.
But the young shopkeeper would at most smile and welcome the customers back again, never trying to stop them or changing their minds.
Over time, this small shop got a bad reputation for ripping people off.
Unexpectedly, one evening at dusk, Tang Qingqing brought a group of Chunlupu nuns who had a good relationship with Zhaoye Caotang and came to the shop noisily. Everyone picked an object that was only eye-catching. , didn’t bargain, put down the fairy money one by one and left, and only visited this small shop on Laohuai Street. After buying, I stopped shopping. After that, the store business got better again. What really made the store overcrowded was that Liu Jianxian, who was more beautiful than a beauty in the Golden Crow Palace, actually entered the store, spent money, and for some reason, dragged a skeleton Tan Baigu walked all the way before leaving Laohuai Street.
On this day, the shop hung a closing sign. The young shopkeeper, who had neither a cashier nor a waiter to help him, was lying on the counter alone, counting the fairy coins. Snow coins piled up in mountains, and there were also a few Xiaoshu coins. .
A young man in white with a gold hairpin on his head crossed the threshold, walked into the shop, and looked at theThe shopkeeper, who is obsessed with wealth, said helplessly: "I just don't understand. Are you so shrewd in seeking wealth?"
Chen Ping'an didn't even raise his head, "I told you, Liu Dajianxian, that all of us The rootless wild cultivator of Shanze is making money with his head tied to his belt. You genealogy masters will not understand."
Liu Zhiqing shook his head, "I have to go, I have already talked to Patriarch Tan. I’ve talked about Yuying Cliff, but I still hope you won’t sell it, and it’s best not to rent it to others, otherwise I won’t come to Chunlu Pond to collect water and make tea.”
Chen Pingan raised his head. He smiled and said: "That's six grain rain coins, and I can't stay in Chunlu Garden permanently. Then I can find a Chunlu Garden monk to help me take care of the shop. It's just a matter of dividing the accounts. I can still make money, but If Yuying Cliff is not sold or rented, what will I do if I keep the land deed? It will become moldy and become invalid after three hundred years."
Liu Zhiqing sighed.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Actually, it's not easy to come to Chunlu Pond to make tea. You give me three Grain Rain coins, and for the next three hundred years, you can come wherever you want. Before I leave, I will talk to Chunlu." You made a promise in advance, and no one will stop you when the time comes."
Liu Zhiqing asked, "Do you think my Guyu money fell from the sky?"
Chen Pingan waved. Waved his hand, "I'm kidding you, I can make tea anytime from now on."
Liu Zhiqing stood still.
Chen Pingan asked doubtfully: "What's wrong, do I still have to spend money to invite you to drink tea? Isn't this too much?"
Liu Zhiqing said angrily: "Then a few hundred Why are there no pebbles left at the bottom of the clear pool? They are worth two or three hundred pieces of snow. Are you greedy?"
Chen Pingan slapped the table and said, "I have the land deed in my hand. Yuying Cliff is my family property, how many broken stones do you care about if I put them in my pocket?"
Liu Zhiqing said helplessly: "Then I will buy those pebbles from you and put them back. How about it under Yuying Cliff?"
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and said, "Five Xiaoshu coins, no discounts in this store!"
Liu Zhiqing slapped the counter. After taking his hand, there were five more Xiaoshu coins on the table. Liu Zhiqing turned around and left, "Next time I come to Chunlu Garden, if there is a pebble missing from the water, see if I don't chop you to death!"
Chen Pingan gently pressed the counter with one finger, otherwise so many snowflakes arranged one after another would mess up the formation.
It’s a bit annoying to have five more Xiaoshu coins.
It’s not good to be too good at business.
Chen Pingan felt that today was a good day for doing business, so he put away all the fairy money, went around the counter, went to pick up the closing sign outside the door, and continued to sit on the small bamboo chair in front of the store, but From basking in the sun to enjoying the cool weather.
The purpose of sparring with Liu Zhiqing was to test how fast the flying sword of Jindan Bottleneck Sword Cultivator was.
In three games, Liu Zhiqing’s effort went from five points to seven points and finally to nine points.
Chen Pingan has a rough idea.
But that Golden CrowIt's not his fault that Gong Xiaoshi's uncle is so angry now.
After all, I'm afraid Liu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zhiqing has never eaten so much dirt in his life.
Of course, Chen Ping'an and Liu Zhiqing had their own difficulties in the three discussions, and they were not very comfortable.
There will be no fourth game.
Otherwise, the two sides can only face each other in life and death, which is unnecessary.
As for why Chen Ping'an still stayed in Chunlu Garden after three competitions, in addition to working as a Baofengzhai to earn some money and make some space for nearby objects, he also had to wait for a reply. .
Previously, a secret letter was sent to Pima Sect Muyishan through the Chunlu Pu Sword Room. The so-called secret letter, even if the letter was intercepted by the flying sword, it was some young man from the Pima Sect. Pang Lanxi sent home affairs to Longquan County.
So when Longquan County sends a letter to the Skeleton Beach and then to this Spring Dew Garden, you only need to see when the Tan Patriarch appears.
The Yuanying Patriarch, who was in charge of thousands of genealogy masters and handyman disciples in Chunlu Garden, never appeared in front of Chen Pingan, but as long as Pi Ma Zong Mu Yi Shan really He replied that no matter how strong her concentration was and no matter how many things she had to do, she would never be able to sit still and would only go to the shop or Jingzhe Mansion.
In the night, Laohuai Street is brightly lit.
Xingying Shop made some money again.
After Chen Pingan got up and planned to close the door, he only needed to borrow a talisman boat that he had borrowed temporarily to ride the wind back to Jingzhe Mansion in the Bamboo Sea.
As soon as Chen Pingan picked up the small bamboo chair, he put it down and looked towards the store. A slender young woman appeared out of thin air and stood with a smile.
Chen Pingan crossed the threshold, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Greetings, Mrs. Tan."
The owner of Chunlu Garden, whose surname is Tan, has the character Ling. In Chunlu Garden, other than her, the direct descendants of the ancestral hall's immortal masters all have three-character names. For example, Jindan, Song Lanqiao, is the descendant of Lan.
Tan Ling did not stay long, just exchanged polite greetings, and handed the Pima Sect Patriarch Hall sword box to Chen Pingan, and then left with a smile.
Chun Lu Pu’s business no longer needs to take risks in order to achieve success.
Chun Lu Pu sent out a small shop on Old Huai Street, and then a talisman flying boat that was the icing on the cake. The heat was just right.
Chen Pingan closed the shop and took a talisman boat to the Zhuhai Mansion in a quiet place. He opened the sword box in the room and found two flying swords. Tan Lingchun Lupu also received a letter from the Pima Sect The flying sword sent a message, saying that it was a gift in return from the Muyi Mountain Patriarch Hall to Mr. Chen. The two flying swords hidden in the sword box could travel a hundred thousand miles back and forth, and the Nascent Soul was difficult to intercept.
Chen Ping'an is no stranger to sword boxes. He has one himself, the one at Shujian Lake. The distance is not long and the quality is far inferior to this one.
Sitting in the room, opening a letter and looking at the handwriting, Chen Pingan smiled knowingly.
The founding disciple of mine rambled on for thousands of words in the letter, telling the master seriously about her academic career in the school., rain or shine, studying hard in the cold window, meticulous, the old masters were almost moved to tears...
For some matters that really involve secrets, Cui Dongshan should be the one who personally serves as the knife and pen official.
For example, regarding the matter of Zhou Mili, the letter contained a vague sentence: "The students have understood it, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Chen Pingan read it several times.
Well, Pei Qian's handwriting has become more and more neat, so he must have really not been lazy in copying.
As for "Master, my crazy swordsmanship has been perfected. It would be a pity for Master not to go home and take a look at it", "I have earned a mountain of money for the shop, Master, please hurry up" Go home and take a look, I can't stop the money if it runs away." "Master, although dozens of soldiers were killed under my command, I have recruited two guardians on the left and right. Every household in Qilong Lane does not pick up lost items." "Master, please be careful. Short winter melon is very obedient here in the shop. She is just a loser, and she is not very good at making money. I have to use my personal money to help her pay for food. Now I have completed my studies. I have peerless swordsmanship, swordsmanship and boxing skills. Even if someone bullies me, I won’t care about them. But I will definitely protect Xiao Donggua because he is what Master calls a weak person, and I am no longer..."
Chen Pingan smiled and put away the letter from home, folded it gently, and slowly put it away among the square items.
Chen Ping'an has already taken off his two golden robes and snowflake robes, and only wears a green shirt hanging from the wine pot.
I stood up and walked to the corridor, looking into the distance high up on the courtyard wall. I saw a dense sea of bamboos and the green color of the world.
————
After Cui Dongshan rushed back to Longquan County after a long journey.
Having dinner at the Qilong Lane shop, the main seat at the dinner table was always empty. Cui Dongshan wanted to sit down, but he and Pei Qian had to fight for a long time before he could only sit opposite Pei Qian. , the little water monster Zhou Mili was sitting next to Pei Qian. Shi Rou only had to sit down, which was always on the bench with her back to the door. Moreover, she didn't need to eat at all. She used to chat with Pei Qian, but she didn't dare not come today.
For one meal, Shi Rou just made up for it and moved a few chopsticks symbolically, while the other three devoured the food in a voracious manner, especially Zhou Mi Li, who took off his chopsticks like flying.
After that, Cui Dongshan left the Qilong Lane shop, saying he was going to Luopo Mountain to have some drinks.
Pei Qian ignored him and practiced a set of crazy sword skills in the yard, while Zhou Mili applauded vigorously.
Cui Dongshan did not go directly to Luoluoshanzhulou, but appeared at the foot of the mountain. Now there is a decent mansion. In the yard, Wei Bo, Zhu Lian, and the rickets guard The man is playing chess. Wei Bo and Zhu Lian are playing chess. Zheng Dafeng is eating melon seeds and giving advice.
Cui Dongshan sat on the wall, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but cursed: "Three stinky chess baskets piled together will blind my eyes!"
Cui Dongshan fell over. , just after he sat down, Wei Bo and Zhu Lian each picked up the chess pieces and put them back into the chess pot. Cui Dongshan stretched out his hands., "No, it's not fun for a child to play chess."
Zheng Dafeng started to chase people away.
Wei Bo returned directly to Piyun Mountain.
Zhu Lian and Cui Dongshan climbed mountains together.
Cui Dongshan waved his sleeves like an old hen flapping its wings, fluttering and flying up three or two steps.
Cui Dongshan asked casually: "Did Jiang Shang really come to Luopo Mountain?"
Zhu Lian smiled and said: "You said Brother Zhou Fei came here and said he wanted to As a Nascent Soul Realm, I will serve as a worshiper of our Luopo Mountain."
Cui Dongshan sneered: "You agreed?"
Zhu Lian put his hands behind his back and turned his head with a smile. Said: "What do you think?"
Cui Dongshan kept his sleeves up, "Hey, Zhu Lian, have you made progress?"
Zhu Lian said with a smile: "Don't slap me in the face. The rest. , Whatever."
Cui Dongshan hovered in the air, no more than a foot above the ground, squinting at Zhu Lian, "Jiang Shang is really not simple, and Xun Yuan is not simple either."
Zhu Lian said with a smile. : "So I refused. This guy is not good at flattery and needs to practice hard. He will not be able to enter my mountain of desolation for the time being. Brother Zhou Fei also thinks this is the case. He said that he should go back and study hard and come back to me for advice next time. After a while."
Cui Dongshan landed on the ground, continued to flap his two snow-white "wings", and flew upwards slowly, "That Jade Purity Sword Master Li Cai?"
Zhu Lian snorted, "Brother Zhou Fei is very talented, but I think everything is a little off. Maybe this is a fly in the ointment. This is how flattering is, and it is also true when dealing with women. Then Li Cai can't stand Brother Dafeng. He wanted to draw a sword, but I couldn't stop him, so the guy from Zhulou gave me a... half-punch, and Brother Zhou Fei tried hard to dissuade me."
Cui. Dongshan's face was gloomy.
Now he is in charge of affairs in the south, but he really doesn’t know much about matters in the north.
Zhu Lian said with a smile: "When a family has a big business, it is normal for the three religions and nine schools to have their own tempers."
Cui Dongshan sneered: "Not yet Is it because you are not good at boxing?"
Zhu Lian said helplessly: "I am holding back my punches when I urinate and defecate, what else do you want me to do?"
Cui Dongshan put his feet on the ground and started walking up the mountain. He said casually: "Lu Baixiang has begun to conquer the country and take over the territory."
Zhu Lian put his hands behind his back, bent down to climb the mountain, and said with a playful smile: "With the same virtue as Wei Xian, a wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, and a dog travels thousands of miles still eats shit."
Cui Dongshan suddenly stopped and said, "I won't go up the mountain. You tell Wei Bo and let him He flew his sword to summon the Pima Sect Muyishan, asking Gao Cheng's birth date, hometown, genealogy, the location of his ancestral graves, anything. Anyway, just know what you know, the more the better. If the entire Pima Sect is of no use at all, It doesn’t matter. But let Wei Bo finally say something from the bottom of his heart to Pima Zong, there is no such good thing in the world to make a lot of money while lying down."
Zhu Lian asked:"Wei Bo was in front of you earlier, why didn't you say anything?"
Cui Dongshan smiled and said, "If you go and say it, you owe me a favor."
Zhu Lian nodded, " It makes sense."
Cui Dongshan stopped climbing and Huahong returned to the town.
Now that Blacksmith Ruan is not in Longquan County, he can come and go freely.
Cui Dongshan went to the heavily guarded Lao Ci Mountain at night, carried a large bag and left.
Then he stayed for a few days in an ancestral house where he had stayed, and he didn’t know what to do every day.
Even if Pei Qian left, Cui Dongshan did not open the door.
Pei Qian and Zhou Mili planned to go up to the house to uncover the tiles. After climbing up, they found that there was a patio. Unfortunately, when they looked down, it was so foggy that they couldn't see anything.
Pei Qian had no choice but to take Zhou Mili back to Qilong Lane.
On this day Cui Dongshan came to the shop in a big way and happened to meet Pei Qian and Zhou Mili running down the steps.
When they arrived at the yard, Pei Qian contacted Crazy Demon Sword Art and asked, "Someone is planning to bully the short winter melon again today. What should I do?"
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "Just hide if you can. What else can you do? It doesn't make sense. Could it be possible to beat them to death with a stick?"
Pei Qian stopped holding the hiking stick in his hand, and Zhou Mili quickly moved it to the small bench. After Qian sat down, Zhou Mili squatted aside, his upper and lower teeth chattering lightly, playing around.
Pei Qianheng put down his mountain stick and frowned: "What's going on with the old masters who teach? Do they only teach the principles of each word? Who doesn't know how to endorse..."
At this point, Pei Qian raised his chin and said, "Defender Right! It's your turn to take action."
Zhou Mili had a tacit understanding and helped the elder sister say the remaining words: "What's the use! ”
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: “If you don’t dislike people everywhere, it’s natural that you don’t like everything in your life. If you don’t like everything in your life, it’s natural that you dislike people everywhere.” >Pei Qian was furious, "Are you talking about me?"
Cui Dongshan held the back of his head with both hands, leaned back, raised his feet, and shook gently without falling, "How could he be talking about you? I'm explaining why I asked you to avoid these people before and never get close to them. They are like water ghosts and will drag people into the water."
Cui Dongshan, who was swinging there, raised his head. With one hand, he pretended to hold a folding fan and gently shook his wrist.
Pei Qian asked: "If you like fans, why did you give them to my master?"
Cui Dongshan kept moving, "I have a lot of fans, but I just like them the most." Just give it to Mr. Pei Qian asked in a low voice: "What are you doing in that house? Are you stealing things?"
Cui Dongshan closed his eyes and slept.
Pei Qian made a gesture, led Zhou Mili to the left and the right, and tiptoed to Cui Dongshan, who was lying on his side without falling.
Zhou Mili stretched out a palm to cover her mouth, "Senior Sister, I really fell asleep."
Pei Qian rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and waved his hand, indicating that he would go back to the room with her to copy books.
After that, Cui Dongshan quietly left Qilong Lane and Longquan County, but Pei Qian was a little strange. The old masters who had always lived in seclusion in the small town school in Longquan County opened by the Chen family in Longwei River, She actually started to visit Meng Tong's home. Every household in the streets and alleys was not allowed to leave. For example, an old lady came to the shop in Qilong Lane where she was, and she talked with Shi Rou for a long time, and finally had a meal. Not only that, but the teachers who originally only taught moral knowledge and explained the books of saints in the school would also help work in the fields, go up the mountain to cut firewood, and take the students to visit the dragon kiln, etc., privately It seemed that some masters complained that these were vulgar behaviors that were insulting to politeness, but they just complained a few words, and it was the same. Soon after, the school quietly resigned from several masters, and several new-faced teachers came. .
A young man in white clothes walking all the way south has long been far away from Dali. On this day, he was holding the moon in his hand by the mountain forest stream. He lowered his head to look at the moon in his hand, took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "Stay here." You can't live in the moon, but you can drink water."
Then he shook his sleeves, and out of the big snow-white sleeves came out a small porcelain man more than a foot tall. There were still countless cracks in the body and limbs, and his face had not yet been "opened." "Compared with the porcelain boy who appeared in the old house back then, there are just a lot of steps missing, and the technique is actually more skillful.
Cui Dongshan turned to look, stretched out his hand, gently touched the porcelain man's little head, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, brother Gao?"
