Chapter 520: Admire for a long time

The night was deep, and after surviving the sleepiest time, Sui Jingcheng actually lost sleep. There was a saying in romance novels about being a night owl, and she felt that this was who she was now.

The methods of breathing and breathing recorded in the booklet are all at noon. Different solar terms have slightly different practice times during the day. There are four very touching words at the end of the volume: Ascension in the daytime.

At the official farewell, the old minister took off the bamboo robe as thin as cicada wings and gave it back to his daughter Sui Jingcheng. He said goodbye reluctantly and privately warned his daughter that now she is honored to follow her. The Sword Immortal practices Taoism on the mountain, and is protected by the spirits of the ancestors of the Sui family in heaven, so he must maintain a correct posture and not have any airs of being a lady, otherwise it will ruin the ancestral virtues.

The man was always practicing boring punches.

Sui Jingcheng got up and went around to pick up some dead branches. Following the same example, he baked them next to the campfire to disperse the water contained in the dead branches without throwing them directly into the fire.

Her practice over the years has been stumbling and very unsatisfactory. Because there is no master to guide her, and the content contained in the booklet, in addition to the practical magical power of controlling a golden hairpin like a flying sword, she can Sui Jingcheng had learned 70 to 80% of the text, but the rest of the text was like the beginning of a Taoist scripture with clear meanings. It was too concise and abstract, making it confusing, just like the person who casually said before, "the truth is inevitably too high", and No one helped her review the book and solve the mystery, so even though Sui Jingcheng had been studying the booklet since he was a child, he still felt that he couldn't get it right. So even in his early thirties, Sui Jingcheng still A second level bottleneck Qi practitioner.

Sui Jingcheng was actually a little hesitant about whether to take the initiative to take out the three items of the Immortal Family: the bamboo clothes, the golden hairpin and the booklet. If the senior swordsman with great magical powers took a fancy to it, she actually didn't care, but She was afraid that the person would mistakenly think that she was flirting with her little cleverness again, and she had backfired more than once.

Chen Ping'an stopped his boxing, sat back by the campfire, stretched out his hand and said: "I'll save you a worry, bring it here."

Sui Jingcheng carefully took out three pieces of food from his sleeve. A gold hairpin, a booklet that is as bright as new and without any wear and tear. The ancient seal script title is "Shang Shang Xuan Xuan Ji".

Sui Jingcheng said softly: "Senior, the hairpin is a bit weird. It has been involved with me since I was a child. If others hold it, it will get burned. In the early years, a maid tried to steal the gold hairpin, but the whole palm of her hand was burned. It was burned, and he was rolling on the floor in pain, which soon alerted other people in the house. Even though the injury on his hand healed, he seemed to be suffering from amnesia, sometimes awake and sometimes stupid, for some reason."

"It's okay."

Chen Pingan took the booklet with one hand and spread it out with the other. Sui Jingcheng relaxed his hand, and three golden hairpins with shining light and colorful colors fell into Chen Pingan's palm. The golden hairpin trembled slightly, but Chen Pingan's palm was safe and sound. Chen Pingan looked at it for a moment and said slowly: "The golden hairpin is your destiny. There are three levels of refining things in the world. Small refining can transform the void, which can barely be absorbed into the monk's Qi Palace Aperture. Acupoints, but anyone can rob them. After refining, you can open an immortalThe various magical functions of magical instruments are just like... This nameless mountain has a mountain god and a temple to stand on it, and the Great Lian is its destiny. The worldly master who gives you these three opportunities is a real master. His Taoism must be said to be very mysterious. He is undoubtedly an immortal at the very least. He may be a Nascent Soul monk. As for why this person sent you to climb the mountain, but abandoned you for thirty or forty years..."

Sui Jingcheng, who had been listening carefully, said softly: "It's only been thirty-two years.

The man smiled and said, "Would you like to talk about it in a few months?" ”

Sui Jingcheng looked embarrassed.

Chen Pingan first put the booklet on his knees, twisted a gold hairpin between his fingers, and gently tapped the other one in the palm of his hand. The sound was as crisp as gold and stone, and with every knock, circles of light rippled out. Chen Pingan raised his head and said, "These three golden hairpins are a set of magic weapons. They look exactly the same, but they are not. They are named 'Ling'." Su Qingwei', 'Wenqing Shenxiao' and 'Taixia Yonggui'. Mostly related to the thunder method, the leader of all methods. "

Sui Jingcheng looked incredulous and said sincerely: "Senior is really well-informed and knows everything! ”

This is what she said from the bottom of her heart.

Three golden hairpins that look the same, but even their names can tell the truth?

Chen Ping An glanced at her and said, "There is an inscription on the golden hairpin. The characters are very small. Your cultivation level is too low, so you can't see it. "

Sui Jingcheng's face was stiff.

Chen Ping'an gently threw the three gold hairpins back to Sui Jingcheng, and began to flip through the booklet with the weird name. He frowned and just turned the page. After reading two pages, he immediately closed it.

When he opened the pages of the "Shang Shang Xuan Xuan Collection", a flash of light flashed, even Chen Ping'an's eyesight and memory failed. Being able to remember the outline of a page of text is like a battle formation that was originally well-ordered, instantly falling apart and becoming disorderly and chaotic. Needless to say, it is another Sui Jingcheng's natal item, and it is most likely not just one. Sui Jingcheng could only see the main text after opening it. Even if Chen Pingan asked her to hold the book and turn the pages, the content they saw was still completely different.

Chen Pingan waved Sui Jingcheng to sit next to him and let her flip through the book. Sui Jingcheng stared in confusion and just did as he was told. Chen Ping'an quickly asked her to put away the booklet and said: "This immortal magic technique is of high quality, but it's just incomplete. The person who gave the book to you must have very high expectations for you." , but I couldn't let your preacher be your protector again, so I stayed away for more than thirty years. ”

Sui Jingcheng held the gold hairpin in one hand and the book in the other, with a smile on her face and joy in her heart, which was even stronger than when she found out that she was the "Beauty of the Sui Family".

Chen Pingan He began to close his eyes and rest his mind, and gently held the small golden thunder whip made into a green bamboo with both hands.

There were no words on the "green bamboo", only densely packed scratches. < /p>

Sui Jingcheng suddenly asked: "Senior, would you like to take a look at that robe called Bamboo Clothes? ”

Chen Pingan opened his eyes with a strange expression on his face. Seeing her sincere face,Looking eager to try, Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Don't look at it, it must be a good treasure of the immortal family. The magic robe is always precious. There are many fights in mountain cultivation. Generally speaking, Qi practitioners will have two things. One is for attack and the other is for defense. Since the master gave you three golden hairpins, the bamboo robes and robes are probably of the same quality." Sui Jingcheng was a little hesitant and his face was slightly pale. Hong, no more words.

After a moment of silence, the man stopped practicing boxing and walking, but began to concentrate like a monk. His breathing was long and vague. Sui Jingcheng only felt that there were layers of brilliance flowing around his body, a bright light like The light is as soft as the moonlight. Sui Jingcheng only thought that this senior Sword Immortal was a person who had attained Taoism. She had many auras. Even if she had little Taoism, she could still see clues. In fact, Sui Jingcheng was indeed a Taoist monk with excellent qualifications. He couldn't see the inscription on the golden hairpin. It was due to the limitation of his eyesight. The vision that Chen Ping'an was seeing at the moment was because she was gifted, and her perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far better than that of ordinary monks in the lower five realms.

Sui Jingcheng suddenly remembered something. After hesitating for a long time, he still felt that the matter was not a big deal, so he had to ask: "Senior, the reason why Uncle Cao Fu and Xiao Shuye went on this trip in a roundabout way and in a sneaky way, In addition to not wanting to attract the attention of the Great Seal Dynasty and the emperor of a certain small country in the north, are they also very afraid of the master who gave me the opportunity? Maybe Master Cao Fu, the Golden Pill Immortal, and the Golden Scale Palace? The master's uncle, the ancestor, was unwilling to show up. It was also similar to when he was blocking the road. Cao Fu asked the sword-wielding martial artist to show up first to test whether the senior swordsman was hiding. Is it the same reason? "

Chen Ping An opened his eyes again and smiled without saying a word.

This Sui Jingcheng has a really good character.

Chen Pingan patiently explained: "Once the monks on the mountain become enemies, it is easy to stay entangled for hundreds of years. This is the rule of the mountain, and the rules of the rivers and lakes. Cao Fu and Xiao Shuye despised the rivers and lakes from the bottom of his heart, feeling that One foot at the foot of the mountain can lead to the bottom of the rivers and lakes. They are all small fish and shrimps. However, they do not understand the taboos and complex situations of practice on the mountain. Their masterminds behind the scenes will also be clear about it, so they have Such a situation. They are now afraid of me. Cao Fu is just afraid of my flying sword, but the people behind the scenes have another concern. That is the wandering master you have already thought of. If he is your preacher, he is just one of them. As a foreign immortal, after weighing their balance, they don't mind making a bigger deal, but if the guardian sent by the preacher for you is a golden elixir sword cultivator, the people behind the scenes will have to weigh their own. How can Jin Liang and his family survive the joint revenge of the two 'Nascent Soul Monks'?"

Sui Jingcheng's eyelashes trembled slightly.

The man spoke straightforwardly and plainly, and "hidden murderous intent." Sui Jingcheng was originally a smart woman with a sweet heart. The more she thought about it, the more she gained, and she felt that the magnificent mountain picture in her mind finally slowed down. Slowly revealed a corner.

Sui Jingcheng asked a question that was not in line with her past temperament, "Senior, do you really want none of the three immortal things?"

Chen PingAn shook his head and said, "There's a reason for it."

Sui Jingcheng smiled knowingly.

Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "No more ideas?"

Sui Jingcheng was stunned, thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "No more."

Sui Jingcheng did have lingering fears. What was it that was refined into a living cauldron by Master Cao Fu? After being taught Taoism, he practiced dual cultivation with the Patriarch of Jinlin Palace...

Although Sui Jingcheng devoted himself to Taoism, he did not become this kind of person who could not help himself. The poor puppet.

Chen Pingan sighed, "Then have you ever thought about the original intention of the master who gave you the opportunity? Have you ever thought about the possibility that if this person is better than Cao Fu behind the scenes? People are taller, their intentions are more sinister, and their calculations are more long-term?" Sui Jingcheng broke out in a cold sweat.

Chen Pingan stretched out his hand and pressed twice, signaling Sui Jingcheng not to be too afraid, and said softly: "This is just a possibility. Why does he dare to give you three important treasures? The great opportunity to practice Taoism has put you in danger. Why didn't he directly take you to his sect? Why didn't he place a guardian around you? What's the mystery behind your mother's strange story about the dreamer holding a baby girl?" Sui Jingcheng stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then put the back of his hand on his forehead and shook his head: "I can't even figure it out? ."

Chen Pingan nodded, "Most things in the world are like this. You can't understand it no matter how much you think about it. It might not be a good thing if you really want to understand it."

Sui Jingcheng looked confused.

During this period of time, she was wandering around like a lost dog, with twists and turns, ups and downs. What happened tonight, and this man's few words made her mood rise and fall even more.

Chen Pingan said: "I am only telling you this after you have decided to go to Aquarius Continent. I want you to make another mental decision about how to treat the person who may never be seen in this life." The wandering master will appear, and may appear tonight. Suppose that master has good intentions for you, but at the beginning of your practice, he took too much care of you to avoid overthrowing your efforts. However, he does not yet know about Wuling Kingdom and Sui Dynasty. Family matters, after all, the higher the level of Taoism, the less aware of the cold and heat of the world. Then you can go to Aquarius Island temporarily, but you can't rush to worship Cui Dongshan as your teacher from the beginning. No need to worry about it, but after all, neither you nor I can determine the truth of the matter."

Sui Jingcheng asked confusedly: "What should I do?"

Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said, "What should I do?" Sui Jingcheng wiped his face and suddenly laughed, "If I had been saved before I met senior, or if someone else had saved me, I would have I don’t care about anything anymore, the farther I run the better, even if I am ashamed of my pastThe wandering master who has been so kind to me will also try not to think too much about it. Now I think Senior Jianxian is right. Scholars at the foot of the mountain must protect themselves in times of trouble, but they must have a little compassion. So monks on the mountain must have a sense of gratitude if they run away in times of trouble. So Jian Regardless of Senior Immortal or Senior Cui Dongshan, even if I am lucky enough to become one of your disciples, I will only register my name until I meet that wandering master again in this life. Even if his realm is not as high as the two of you, I will I sincerely ask you two to allow me to change my disciples and become my disciple to that wandering master! "

Chen Pingan nodded, "Just right. ”

What is even more commendable is that Chen Pingan can actually tell whether Sui Jingcheng’s words are sincere or not.

Some words need to be seen rather than listened to.

This is the beauty of practicing on the mountain.

So Chen Pingan sighed: "I hope that the previous guess is that I am too dark-minded. I still hope that the wandering master can become your teacher in the future. Travelers, join hands to climb mountains and enjoy the views of mountains and rivers. "

Sui Jingcheng snickered and narrowed his eyes to look at him.

Chen Pingan immediately wanted to understand the silent words in her eyes and glared at her, "You and I, We just have the same way of looking at the world, but our minds are very different. "

Sui Jingcheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was rare for a child to have the temperament and began to look around, "Master, where are you? ”

God knows whether he will be like the senior swordsman in green shirt carrying a bamboo box, maybe far away, or maybe close in front of him?

Chen Pingan laughed. .

Of course, Sui Jingcheng's "master" did not appear.

The two did not deliberately hide their whereabouts after that, but because Sui Jingcheng needed to practice at a fixed time during the day, he went to the capital of Wuling Kingdom. On the way, Chen Ping'an bought a carriage and became a coachman himself. Sui Jingcheng took the initiative to talk about some of the key points of practice in the "Shang Shang Xuan Xuan Collection" and told some of the eyes that would appear at different moments when breathing in and out. Chen Ping'an couldn't actually give any advice on the different scenes of his eyes being as warm as steam, itching and tingling like lightning lingering around, and his internal organs vibrating and ringing suddenly. Furthermore, Sui Jingcheng, a layman, had practiced nearly a decade on his own. Thirty years later, there are no signs of illness. Instead, the skin is delicate and the eyes are clear. There should be no big difference.

This journey is smooth, day and night.

Just like escorting Li Huai and the others to Sui Academy, there were not only bumps and bumps, but also more trivial atmosphere.

Just like every time Li Huai went there. Chen Pingan is the only one who dares to urinate and urinate, especially in the middle of the night. Even if it is the second half of the night after Yu Lu's stay, or the first half of the night, Chen Pingan is already in a deep sleep. He will still be woken up by Li Huai, and then the sleepy Chen Pingan will be woken up by Li Huai. , just walk away with the guy who is covering his crotch with his hands or holding his buttocks. It has always been like this. Chen Pingan never said anything about Li Huai, and Li Huai never said anything.A word of thanks.

But rural children are indeed not used to saying thank you to others. Just like the scholar, it is true that he is not willing to say that I am wrong.

But after all, Li Huai was interested in him, so everyone could see that among the group of people back then, Li Huai cared most about Chen Pingan. Even after so many years and studying in the academy for many years, Li Huai has his own friends, but towards Chen Pingan, he still has the mentality of being a coward and a coward. When something really happens, the first person he thinks of is Chen Pingan, not even his parents who are far away in another continent. With my sister, one is dependence, the other is nostalgia, different feelings, but the same depth.

Although Sui Jingcheng was a dabbler in Taoism, he still had not been repelled, and he was a woman, so there was no trouble at all

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

Less.

So when Chen Pingan bought a carriage in a prosperous county town, he deliberately stayed an extra day and stayed in an inn. I borrowed some money and said I was going to buy some items, then I put on a new dress and bought a power fence to hide my face.

Not necessarily taking care of Sui Jingcheng, but in fact Chen Ping'an himself was not in a hurry. He already knew the rough itinerary and would not delay arriving at the Green Warbler Country in autumn.

So one day at dusk, on the bank of a rocky cliff in a fast-flowing river, Chen Pingan took out his fishing rod to fish. The sand turned and the boulders did not move, and he inexplicably caught a green snail weighing more than ten kilograms. While people were drinking fish soup, Chen Ping'an said that there is a bluestone in a mountain lake in Tongyezhou that is the most magical. As long as one lives for more than a hundred years, there will be a bluestone of different sizes in his mouth. It is extremely pure. After the secret technique is crushed and exposed to the sun, it becomes the material for drawing talismans that the monks of the Fulu Sect dream of.

Sui Jingcheng was startled when he heard this.

The two would occasionally play chess, and Sui Jingcheng finally determined that this senior swordsman was really a bad chess player. He had strong hands at first, and was subtle and flawless, and then his moves became more and more bad.

The first time they talked, Sui Jingcheng was very serious, because she felt that the senior must have been hiding his clumsiness during the game in Xingting.

Later Sui Jingcheng accepted his fate.

This senior really just memorized some first-hand formulas by rote.

Fortunately, the senior did not feel embarrassed. He lost ten of the ten games. Every time he reviewed the game, he would humbly ask for advice on some of Sui Jingcheng’s chess moves. Naturally, Sui Jingcheng did not dare to hide his secrets. Finally, when I was browsing a bookstore in a county town, I picked up two chess books. One was "The Book of Grand Officials", which was mainly about life and death, and the other was dedicated to recording fixed positions. Back then, her seniors gave her some gold and silver in the county town and asked her to keep it for herself, so she bought the chess records and still had a surplus.

While driving at night and passing a tomb in the wilderness, the senior suddenly stopped the carriage and called Sui Jingcheng to get out of the carriage., and then tapped her eyebrows with two fingers, making her look at one place with concentration. Sui Jingcheng lifted up the veil, and saw a white fox carrying a skeleton on the grave, looking at the moon and worshiping. She asked why this was, and the senior said he didn't know. He had seen many fox charms transforming into beautiful women and bewitching scholars. He was still the first to see such a person worshiping the moon with bones on his back.

The carriage continued on its way.

Hearing the noise, the white fox disappeared in a flash with bones on its back. A moment later, there was a graceful woman posing on the roadside in front. Chen Pingan turned a blind eye. Sui Jingcheng, who was sitting outside the carriage, was a little annoyed. He picked up the power fence and exposed her. True appearance, the woman seemed to have been struck by lightning. She muttered, cursed, turned around and left. Sui Jingcheng raised his eyebrows, put on the power fence, and hung his legs outside the car, swaying slightly.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Why are you so angry with a fox charm?"

Sui Jingcheng said: "Transform into women and seduce men. No wonder people in the market like to use the word coquettish fox. "Say, when I become immortal, I must teach them a lesson."

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Fox monsters are not all like this, some are naughty but also kind-hearted." There is a Celestial Fox enshrined in the Celestial Master's Mansion at Longhu Mountain in Tushen Continent. In order to express its gratitude to the Celestial Master, it had the Celestial Master's Seal stamped on its fox skin, which helped her escape the mighty event that reached the fifth realm. Tianjie, so he has been protecting the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion since then, and even helped to sharpen his Taoist heart."

Sui Jingcheng silently remembered this incident on the mountain that was even more unbelievable than a strange novel. But my last thought was that that fox spirit might not be as good-looking as me.

One evening at dusk, I passed an ancient local temple. According to legend, the waves were often rough, making it impossible for people with boats to cross the river. So there were ancient immortals who drew talismans on paper, and a stone rhinoceros jumped out of the white paper and jumped into the river. The water monster was suppressed in the water, and everything was calm from then on. Sui Jingcheng and Chen Ping'an went to the temple to burn incense. They went to the incense shop where the incense was sold. The shopkeepers were a young couple. Later, when they arrived at the ferry, Sui Jingcheng found that the young couple had followed the carriage, and for some reason he started to lie down on them. And worshiping means praying to the immortals to help them cross the river together.

Chen Pingan nodded in agreement. Finally, together with the carriage, Chen Pingan, Sui Jingcheng, and the couple took a huge ferry across the river. After landing, the carriage slowly traveled for several miles. Young The couple asked to get out of the car. Sui Jingcheng and the young couple were sitting in the carriage, which was a little crowded, and they discovered more strange things. When the carriage and the ferry were crossing the river together, the couple were sweating profusely, and it seemed that they would capsize and sink into the river at any time. The two of them were They cuddled up to each other, held hands, and looked at death as though they were home. This made Sui Jingcheng worried. He mistakenly thought that there were spirits in the river and could overturn the ferry at any time. However, he felt more at ease when he thought that Senior Sword Immortal was sitting outside.

After the young couple got out of the car, they knelt down and kowtowed three times and nine times.

Sui Jingcheng didn’t say anything when he saw his senior, he just stood there and accepted this great gift, but the young couple with tears in their eyesAfter the couple got up, the senior said softly: "Ghosts and spirits, if they do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and are impartial, they will protect themselves."

Sui Jingcheng only felt that strange things were happening one after another. After hearing these words, the young couple felt as if they had gained something. The amnesty was like an enlightenment, yet one had to kneel down piously.

But this time, the senior reached out to support the young man, "Let's go, the mountains and rivers are long and the road is difficult, so take care of yourself."

The young couple did not walk on the official road. After walking out of the road, in the distance, young women stopped and turned around. One of them bent down and bowed, and the other gave a blessing.

Then when the carriage entered a path, Sui Jingcheng, who was about to ask the couple about their whereabouts, suddenly widened his eyes and saw ripples and a golden-armored godman holding an iron gun standing on the road. superior.

Chen Pingan stopped the carriage, fell to the ground, clasped his hands in his fists, and then asked: "Have we caused trouble to the Water God by acting without permission?"

The golden-armored god with a solemn look. He shook his head and said with a smile: "It used to be bound by rules. It was my duty and I couldn't let them go for personal gain. That couple should be so lucky. They were protected by the merits of the husband and had to wait for a hundred years to cross this river."

The golden-armored god gave way to the road, stood sideways, and gently poked the ground with the iron gun in his hand, "The little god will send you off for a long journey."

Chen Pingan clasped his fists again, said goodbye with a smile, returned to the carriage, and slowly Slowly drive past the golden-armored god who sits on the river.

Sui Jingcheng was silent for a long time and asked softly: "Senior, does this mean you have achieved success in cultivating Taoism? To be able to have a golden-armored god who has been around for a long time take the initiative to clear the way for senior to see him off."

Chen Ping'an didn't answer the question, and said slowly: "You have to know that there are more than just people like Cao Fu in the mountains, and people like Xiao Shuye are not the only ones in the world. There are some things that no matter how much I tell you, it's better for you to experience them yourself. ”

In the night, the carriage stopped in a quiet and uninhabited place. The senior swordsman spent a rare amount of energy and time to stew a large pot of spring bamboo shoots and bacon.

Sui Jingcheng was too lazy to think about why those spring bamboo shoots were still so fresh in midsummer and why they were not taken out of the bamboo box.

However, Sui Jingcheng just felt that after crossing the river, the young senior was still in a good mood.

As for the age of Senior Sword Immortal, Sui Jingcheng had asked this question before. At first, the senior ignored it, but then she couldn't help being curious and asked in a roundabout way twice before he said that he could probably be considered. He must be over three hundred years old.

Sui Jingcheng became more and more determined to follow the Tao.

On this day, I passed a lively county town near Sasao Villa and happened to encounter a temple fair.

Every once in a while, there will be similar stalls, filled with clay dolls and small porcelain figures on the ground. You can exchange the stall owner for a small bamboo ring for one penny, or a small bamboo ring for two pence. There are large folded willow rings, and there are many people. There will also be adults helping the children to throw bamboo rings and willow rings. Once an adult catches one of the little clay or porcelain figures, the children around them will be happy and dance.

Chen Pingan laughed at that timeHe asked: "Are there so few Jianghu people in your Wuling Kingdom?"

Sui Jingcheng didn't know why he asked this question at first, but he just said: "Our Wuling Kingdom still has a more prosperous literary style, so there is a After Senior Wang Duan, both the government and the public, even civil servants like my father, would feel honored and hoped to get to know Senior Wang Duan through Hu Xinfeng."

When the carriage drove some distance away, Sui Jingcheng saw him. Only then did I figure out the reason for my senior’s question.

If there were more warriors, there might still be stalls like temple fairs, but there would definitely not be so many, because if one was unlucky, it would obviously be a loss-making business. It will not be like those businessmen at temple fairs today, where everyone just sits and makes money, earning more or less.

Sui Jingcheng was sighing.

Maybe this is one of the hidden threads in the world.

If I hadn’t met this senior, I might never have thought about these things in my life.

If you don’t think about it, you won’t lose anything, and you will continue to live your life. If you think about it, there may not be any immediate benefits.

No wonder that senior also said that thinking about context, reasoning, and scrutinizing worldly affairs are never things that save worry and effort.

Once when passing by a melon field, the carriage stopped. Chen Pingan squatted beside the field and stared at the green and lovely watermelons.

Thinking back to the days of the small town, under the old locust trees, many families would lift bamboo baskets from the iron-locked wells. The old people would tell old stories, and the children would eat cool watermelons under the shade of the locust trees. , the heart is also cool.

Sui Jingcheng jumped off the carriage and asked curiously: "Would a mountain immortal like Senior also want to eat watermelon?"

Chen Pingan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "What if? One day I can do whatever I want, and if I can steal a watermelon and run away, it shows that I have truly succeeded in cultivating my mind. Only then has the influence of the candied haws on my mind been completely eliminated.”

Sui Jingcheng felt. This is a strange saying that is even stranger than a strange thing, and it is difficult to understand.

On a dangerous mountain road near the capital, I met a group of strong men cutting the path. Sui Jingcheng felt that these guys who showed off their power were extremely lucky...

Chen Ping'an let Sui Jingcheng casually reveal his hand, and a golden hairpin was like a flying sword, which scared the shit out of them.

Later, the senior sneaked into the village with Sui Jingcheng and saw the simple houses over there, with roosters crowing and dogs barking, smoke curling up from cooking stoves, and an emaciated child flying an old paper kite there. One of them A path-cutting bandit squatted aside and grinned. Next to him stood a short old man in a ragged green shirt, cursing that the man was incompetent. If there was no more harvest, the village would be in ruins. Those few inside The kid also read a shitty book. When he was reciting books in school, his stomachs growled loudly, even louder than the reading. The man scratched his head and said that that girl was amazing, she was probably a fairy mentioned in the book. If we hadn't run fast today, we would have been beaten to death instead of starving to death.

Chen PingAn took Sui Jingcheng and left quietly, returned to the carriage and continued on their way.

In the night, Sui Jingcheng was not sleepy, so he sat outside the carriage, sitting sideways and looking at the woods beside the road.

Sui Jingcheng said to himself: "First I saw how they were robbing homes and houses, and I wanted to kill them all. Senior, if I really did this, would I be wrong?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "That's right."

Sui Jingcheng asked again: "But if I meet them on the road after seeing their lives, what if I leave them alone?" Is it wrong to have a bag of gold and silver?"

Chen Ping'an smiled: "It's not wrong, but it's not right either."

Sui Jingcheng suddenly felt guilty.

Chen Pingan said: "As promised before, I just lend you the gold and silver, and I won't care what you do. So you stay outside the village secretly, and you don't have to worry about my accountability. ."

Chen Ping'an finally said: "The world is complicated, and it is not just a matter of words. The context I told you depends on the human heart. Once you have achieved some success, it seems complicated. In fact, it is simple, and the theory of sequence seems simple but is actually more complicated, because it not only relates to right and wrong, but also involves the good and evil of people's hearts. So I talk about the context everywhere, and ultimately it is to move towards the sequence, but no one teaches me how to proceed. I, for the time being, I have just understood the methods of cutting and encircling the Heart Sword. I have already briefly explained these to you. Since you have nothing to do, you can use these three methods to take a good look at what you saw today. "< /p>

The sun was shining brightly and the heat was high on that day. Even though Sui Jingcheng was wearing a bamboo robe, he still felt bored sitting in the carriage. Unexpectedly, dark clouds would soon cover us, followed by heavy rain, making the mountain roads muddy and difficult to navigate.

Fortunately, there are mansions built by literati nearby in the mountains and forests, which can provide shelter from the rain.

Sui Jingcheng knew the owner of this house because he had some interactions with the Sui family in the early years. Like her father, he was a master of chess, but his official career was not very important. After becoming a doctor in the Ministry of War, he resigned and returned home. However, Among the disciples, there are many talented people, including the chess player Daizhao who is better than the others in chess skills, and two young disciples who were born in Jinshi. Now they have officially filled the vacancies and become officials, so this hilltop, which was originally not famous, It began to mean that there are immortals and spirits wherever the mountains are not high. Even though the house is located in a secluded mountain, there are still guests and traffic coming and going all year round.

The old concierge of this family was very polite when he heard that the Mili girl was from a branch of the Sui family and married away from home. This time she was returning home to visit relatives. However, he was a little disappointed when he heard that she did not need accommodation. After all, the old minister of the Sui Dynasty was the mainstay of the Wuling Kingdom, and he was also a Yilin Immortal just like his own master. Therefore, the woman's status as a Sui family member was not comparable to that of ordinary family members of high-ranking officials.

While Chen Pingan and Sui Jingcheng were taking shelter from the rain, even though Sui Jingcheng never took off the power fence, the concierge still asked a servant to bring tea.

I don’t know if the maid leaked the news or something, but soon a handsome young man came over and made some pleasantries.He also asked some questions about whether the woman was proficient in hand-to-hand conversation. Sui Jingcheng responded to them perfectly. The young man was also a man who could sit still. He was able to find something to talk to himself even though he had nothing to talk about. He didn't even feel embarrassed at all. The young coachman in a green shirt could talk a few words. Hearing that he was the nephew of the family delivering family letters to the lady, he was very enthusiastic and looked like he didn't have the airs of a child of a noble family.

After the rain stopped, the noble family member personally sent the two of them to the door of the mansion. After watching them leave, he smiled and said: "She must be a peerless beauty. In the mountains and fields, there are orchids in the empty valleys. It's a pity that I can't see the beauty."

The old concierge seemed to be familiar with the young master's temper, and joked: "Why don't you escort him personally?"

The young man shook his head and walked back. Mansion, go and talk to a beautiful maidservant.

On the road, Sui Jingcheng sat next to the car curtain, picked up the power fence, gently lifted it, and asked: "Senior, if the other party takes advantage of the situation and causes trouble, am I wrong? Will it? After all, there is something wrong. After all, my beauty comes first, and when people see it, they covet me later."

Chen Pingan sighed, this is the theory of context and sequence. The trouble is that it is easy to get people into a messy situation at first. It seems that there are bad people everywhere, everyone has bad intentions, and there seems to be some reason for the evildoers.

If Chen Pingan is really her preacher and protector, generally speaking, she will not tell the truth directly, leaving it to her to think deeply, but since she is not, and she is already smart, there is no such thing He was worried and said directly: "The order of things is not what you said. There are many right and wrongs between heaven and earth, especially after a continent and a country have established conventions. Being lustful and bullying others

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

It is undoubtedly your fault. It does not mean that you are rich, it is wrong, and it does not mean that a woman is good-looking. Wrong. Only after knowing these things can we talk about the order of precedence and right and wrong. Otherwise, even if a woman in the market is showing off and showing off, it is not a reason to rob a woman. There is no such thing as the crime of a child holding a treasure in the market. , do you really think it’s the child who is wrong? It’s not the case. It’s just the way the world is, and these helpless old sayings are just to warn good people and the weak to be more careful.”

Chen Ping'an turned his head and asked with a smile: "This is how things are in the world, and they have always been like this, right? I don't think so."

Sui Jingcheng's eyes sparkled, "Senior, great advice!"

Sui Jingcheng asked cautiously: "Senior, do you have any prejudice against scholars?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm full. The book of abdominal poetry is a reader, and it’s not like he hasn’t read itA person who cannot read or read is not a scholar. "

Sui Jingcheng was about to sigh.

Chen Pingan had already said: "Stop talking nonsense. "

Sui Jingcheng couldn't help but said shyly: "Senior is really a prophet of the future. ”

Chen Pingan turned his head.

Sui Jingcheng blinked, silently lowered the car curtain, and after sitting down, she endured it, but she still couldn’t hold back the slight smile on her face.

Afterwards, when entering the capital of Wuling Kingdom, the senior would stop his carriage to take a look at the various places of interest, and occasionally he would engrave some plaques, couplets and inscriptions. , engraved on the bamboo slips.

On the way, I also encountered young heroes and girls walking in the rivers and lakes. Two horses passed by and the carriage passed by.

The sleeves of the clothes and the horse's mane were fluttering in the wind.

I also passed by a rural village, where groups of children were playing and playing together, and some of them jumped over a creek one after another. The weak girls took a few steps back and then rushed past.

There was a child standing struttingly beside the creek. Instead of running across the ditch, he shook his arms and tried to stay on the spot. He jumped over with strength, and then fell into the ditch in the middle of winter.

At that time, the carriage was parked not far away. Sui Jingcheng saw the profile of the senior, and he saw what happened. , squinting his eyes and smiling a little.

The carriage bypassed the capital of Wuling Kingdom and went to the north.

It went straight to Sasou, the number one person in the world of Wuling Kingdom. Villa.

Since he did not deliberately go out of counties and cities, he was involved in many things, so he heard some news that had spread to the government and the public.

Wang Dun joined the ranks. Among the ten people on the new list, although they are at the bottom among the ten, Wuling Kingdom still feels a bit like a national celebration.

Because there are five people in the Dazhuan Dynasty alone, it is said that they are still hidden. There were several elderly masters who had not shown up for a long time. Only Xiao Shuye from the Qingci Kingdom ranked ninth. No one from the Jinfei Kingdom with strong folk customs and powerful troops was on the list. Lanfang Kingdom didn't even think about it, so Even if he is at the bottom of the list, this is a great honor for senior Wang Bu, and it is also a good thing for everyone in Wuling Kingdom, who has "a weak literary style and no heroes".

The Emperor of Wuling Kingdom specially sent him. The envoy from the capital sent a plaque.

So Sui Jingcheng guessed that the Sasu Villa must be full of guests and congratulators.

But he didn’t know. Senior Bu Wu met the Emperor of the Dazhuan Zhou family, and then took the Xianjia ferry back from the capital of Dazhuan.

As for the news about Sui Jingcheng, the momentum was not at all lighter than that of Wang Bu's appearance on the list. It was lively, especially when people in the arena mentioned this, everyone spat, and most of the women wandering around the arena looked unhappy.

Sui Jingcheng would secretly glance at him every time, either. Drinking and eating in silence at the restaurant, or drinking low-quality tea at the tea stall that quenches thirst but does not relieve the heat.

This.It made her a little disappointed.

I also encountered a group of literati drinking wine among the mountains and rivers of a beautiful place.

Some people raised their glasses and shouted, "In the forest, they are giant trees, and out of the mountains, they are small grass." Their faces were full of tears, and everyone present felt sad. Some people stood up and danced with swords, which was probably considered impassioned.

The carriage passed by slowly.

Sui Jingcheng said with a smile: "If it's a conversation between celebrities and a meandering river drinking wine, does the senior know which two types of people are most indispensable?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and shook his head, "I have never participated. "Excuse me, tell me."

Sui Jingcheng said with a smile: "For these literati gatherings, there must be someone who can write popular poems, and it is best to have a master who can draw people's faces. If you have one of the two, you can leave a mark in history. If you have both, it will be a great event that has been passed down for thousands of years." Chen Pingan nodded and said, "These words are very reasonable, and I will definitely tell them in the future. A friend, maybe he will be written in the landscape travel notes."

Sui Jingcheng wore a power fence on his head, covered his mouth with a smile, and sat sideways outside the carriage, swinging his legs.

Already approaching Sasu Villa, in a county town, Chen Pingan sold the carriage at a discount.

I asked for two rooms in the inn. Near the county town, there were obviously more people in the world. They should all go to the villa to congratulate me.

I have to admit that the love in the world can be achieved by running away, just like many friendships can be achieved by drinking at the wine table.

Those who can become seniors in the world are either extremely skilled in martial arts and have a heroic temperament no matter how bad their temper is. Or they are those who are second-rate in martial arts but are first-rate old foxes and oily men, and have a good reputation. As for Those juniors who also know how to deal with the world have survived by living until the second-rate seniors have died of old age, and one after another the top seats have been vacated, and they have become the old-timers of the world sitting on the chairs, but this way of standing out , after all, there are some flaws. Therefore, those young people who are sharp-edged have always been disliked by the old people in the world.

But according to Sui Jingcheng, senior Wang Dui is truly highly respected.

Chen Pingan stood at the window and looked at the bustling street for a while.

Chen Pingan went to the next door and knocked on the door, saying that he was going to a county wine shop and planned to buy a few bottles of wine.

Sui Jingcheng put on the power fence again and walked out of the threshold, feeling a little uneasy. She said she wanted to go drinking together on the roadside. In the past, she had only seen it in Jianghu romance novels. During the martial arts feast, all the heroes gathered. She was quite curious about eating large pieces of meat and drinking from large bowls, and wanted to try it.

Chen Pingan did not stop her.

The two of them arrived at the busy wine shop at the corner of the street. After a table of people paid their bills and left, they found a seat. Chen Pingan asked for a pot of wine and poured her a bowl.

Sui Jingcheng wore a power fence on his head, so when drinking, he could only lower his head and uncover a corner of the power fence.

The tables in the wine shop are not far apart, and most of them are noisy and busy with flowers and wine.There were boxers and some chatting about interesting things about the world. A man sitting on the bench behind Sui Jingcheng looked at each other and smiled at a table of friends from the world. Then he deliberately stretched out his hand to punch, intending to knock down the fence above Sui Jingcheng's head. However, Sui Jingcheng leaned forward, Just barely escaped. The man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't push the envelope any further. He just couldn't hold it in any longer. This woman looked really good in figure. It would be a big loss if she didn't take a look at it. But before they could make any move at the table, there would be someone new. A group of wealthy people from all walks of life, all wearing bright clothes and angry horses, turned over and dismounted without tying their horses. Looking around, they saw the man and woman sitting opposite each other. There were two empty benches, and they were only looking at the woman. Sitting sideways, as if he was drinking the best wine in this county, a burly and strong man sat down on the bench between the woman in power and the man in green clothes. He cupped his fists and said with a smile: "I'm Lu Dayong from the Wuhu Gang." "My friends on the road gave me the nickname 'Fanjiang Jiao'!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I've admired him for a long time, and I'm glad to meet you."

This Daxia Lu is the one who travels with me. People, he grinned and said: "You don't mind sitting together, do you? You are a gangster, don't stick to trivial matters, just squeeze in..."

But just as he was about to invite the other three people to sit down, naturally there was someone Those who wanted to sit on a bench with the Mili woman, such as himself, had already stood up and planned to give up the bench under his buttocks to his friend and squeeze in with her. Jianghu people pay attention to a person who is bold and heroic, and they are not as particular as the bad rules about men and women not being intimate.

I never thought that the young man smiled and said: "I don't mind."

But Daxia Lu obviously didn't expect such an answer at all. He had already stood up, and the burly man had already smelled it. For a fragrance that is more attractive than the fragrance of wine, you should sit on that bench openly.

Just the next moment, not only did the martial arts hero stop his movements, but the onlookers who had clearly heard the word "mind" before stopped laughing and secretly swallowed their saliva. Others have already raised their buttocks and are planning to run away.

Because there was an exquisite and compact green flying sword, hovering just a few inches away from the burly man's eyebrows.

The young man in green shirt smiled and said: "Now do you mind crowding in with me and drinking together?"

Don't you mind?

Mind?

Why does Lu Dayong feel that no matter how he answers, it will be wrong?

The three Jianghu friends behind Lu Dayong stood on the spot one by one, looking at their noses and hearts. They were probably not familiar with the hero Lu Dayong.

Chen Pingan waved his hand, and Lu Dayong and the three people behind him ran away.

The other drinkers also looked frightened and were about to run away.

I never thought that the legendary "Sword Immortal" who had never been seen in a century said something else, "It's not too late to leave before you pay."

As a result, several tables of high-rollers went directly to the counter. After losing the silver ingot, he quickly left.

Except for Chen Pingan and Sui Jingcheng, there are no guests.

Chen Pingan pretended to be exhausted and looked around.The flying sword hovering in the air was teetering on the edge of the table, and he quickly put it into his sleeve.

The corners of Sui Jingcheng’s mouth turned up.

The old shopkeeper inexplicably got a huge windfall. After seeing that scene again, he smiled and said: "You, a swordsman in the mountain, are really not afraid of causing bigger troubles? Are all the heroes in the world like this? He holds grudges very much and is good at clinging to groups. He likes to help relatives but not others, help the weak but not the strong."

Chen Ping'an turned around and said with a smile: "There is a worldly master like the old shopkeeper sitting in the wine shop. There shouldn't be much trouble."

The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "You have good eyesight."

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "Both each other."

Sui Jingcheng asked softly: "Can I take off the power fence?"

Chen Pingan nodded.

Sui Jingcheng took off the power fence and could finally drink in peace and quiet.

The old man exclaimed, "What a pretty little lady, I have never seen a more beautiful woman in my life. You two must be the so-called immortal Taoist couple on the mountain, right? No wonder you dare to walk around like this. . Okay, you just have to drink today and don’t have to pay for it. Anyway, thanks to you, I have already made a lot of money.”

Chen Pingan was about to raise his bowl to drink when he heard. After the old shopkeeper said these words, he stopped what he was doing, hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and took a big sip of wine.

Sui Jingcheng has a pair of long autumn eyes, full of subtle smiles.

The old man glanced at the distance outside, sighed, looked at the back of the young man in green shirt, and said: "I advise you to let your wife wear the power fence. After all, Mr. Wang is not in Zhuangzi now. Here, if something really happens, even if I help you for a while, I can't help you all the way. Are you just waiting for Mr. Wang to return from Dazhuan Capital and establish a relationship with him before you dare to leave? , Mr. Wang comes to my place for drinks from time to time. I know his temper best. He has always had a very bad impression of you mountain gods, and he may not be willing to see you."

Sui Jingcheng glanced at him. Looking at the face of the senior opposite, he suppressed a smile and explained to the old shopkeeper: "I am just a registered disciple, we are not some immortal Taoist couple."

The old man bent his fingers and pointed. His own eyes, "Do you think I'm blind?"

Sui Jingcheng turned his head and looked to the opposite side, with a pitiful look on his face that said I had no choice but to do anything.

But Chen Ping'an didn't seem to care about this at all. He just turned his head, looked at the old man, and asked with a smile: "Old senior, why did you withdraw from the world and hide in the market?"

The old man smiled and said: "Of course you can't survive in the world, so you packed up your bed and left. You, a mountain man, are really a living god who doesn't know the sufferings of the people."

Chen Pingan asked again Said: "If I were a weak scholar, and I didn't meet my senior in the wine shop, then if I encountered what happened today, would I get up angrily and be beaten half to death, or would I endure the humiliation and let others bully me?"

The old man lay on the counter, took a sip of wine, scratched his head, gently put down the glass, and said: "Forbearance, as long as you live, there is always a chance to make amends with others, right?"

Chen Pingan laughed loudly, raised the wine bowl high, and drank it all in one gulp.

The old man still drank in small sips, "But, it was wrong after all."

Soon, the roof near the wine shop was filled with spectators.

One look at the legendary Sword Immortal can reveal a lifetime of experience to others.

However, although there were many spectators, no one really took a few steps to get into trouble. Although Daxia Lu called his friends and hid among them, he did not lose his mind. Instead, he was very happy. He told people that he had experienced the style of a swordsman. He spattered and said that the flying sword was only a few inches away from the center of his eyebrows. To an inch! It's really dangerous, life hangs on a thread.

After Chen Pingan drank wine, he was not polite when his senior was polite, and he had no intention of paying for the bill.

He just stood up, clasped his fists and said softly: "I have met old man Wang Dun."

The old man smiled and nodded: "I just said that you have good eyesight, why don't you ask Why do I like to wear a mask here and pretend to be an old wine seller?"

Chen Pingan shook his head.

The old man sneered and said: "You are among the ten but you are at the bottom. Do you want to be quiet and have a drink to relieve your worries? Do you want to be congratulated by people all day long and laugh about it and say you are lucky?"

Sui Jingcheng quickly stood up and gave a blessing to the senior Wang Dui whom he had admired for a long time.

The old man waved his hand, "Although you look good as a man, you also need to practice well. There are really not many good men in the world. Whenever something happens, they all like to call you a beauty." Trouble."

Sui Jingcheng turned to look at the senior.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I have succeeded in cultivating my mind, but it is not what it used to be."

But he glanced at the power fence on the table.

Sui Jingcheng quickly put it on.

Wang Dun suddenly said: "You two, can't you be the foreign swordsman and Sui Jingcheng? I heard that because of that Sui family beauty, the ninth Xiao Shuye died in the same place. In the hands of a foreign swordsman, the head was taken back to the Qingci Kingdom. Fortunately, even though I was selling iron, I had to buy a Shanshui Di newspaper, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money."

Chen Ping'an. He smiled and said: "Senior, you have good eyesight."

Wang Dun said "Hey, hey", walked around the counter, and sat down on the bench at the table where they sat, "Sit down, sit down, don't leave in a hurry. Ah, I, Wang Bu, have admired the monk on the mountain for a long time, and I am glad to meet you."
