I saw something strange along the way on the ferry.
There was a group of female monks in colorful clothes, swinging under a sea of clouds. Their laughter and laughter aroused the shouts of many male monks on the ferry. If you just pass by them this time, you will never see them again. , their language is a bit unscrupulous.
As a result, a huge dragon head slowly poked out from the sea of clouds, frightening many monks on the boat. The mysterious existence that was not a real dragon gently hit the tail of the ferry with its head, and the ferry healed. Castration is like an arrow.
Chen Pingan wrote down this scene, returned to the guest room, and continued to do an ordinary thing.
After arriving at Tongyezhou in Daoxuanshan and separated from Lutai, Chen Pingan mistakenly entered the blessed land of lotus root and left the Taoist temple with Pei Qian and the painting scroll. Chen Pingan began to write some landscapes. knowledge. With the help of memory, I started from leaving Daixuan Mountain, getting to know Lutai, arriving at Tongyezhou, walking through Fujizong Shoutian Street, and writing about the Yunzhongjiaolong push ferry in Luzhou, Beiju today.
The paper on the table is divided into two parts.
It was divided into a first draft and a transcript by Chen Ping'an. The draft would be erased and revised, and would be considered and considered over and over again, just like a letter that was not sent. long.
The copy that was copied later looked clean and neat, like an assignment given by a student to his teacher.
Sometimes, there is really nothing to write about. I haven’t seen any interesting landscapes or people for a long time, so I either don’t write anything, or occasionally I write something like “Nothing happened today, everything is safe.” ".
In the blessed land of lotus flowers, birds are vying to cross the river. They are surrounded and killed, and they punch and sword the local No. 1 man in the world. At an inn on the border of Daquan Dynasty, I met a gentleman who could write limericks. Yin Shen traveled far and met the grumpy empress buried in the river. She visited Biyou Mansion and discussed the order with the empress who admired the old gentleman's knowledge. After living in the dusty shop in Old Dragon City, he took the increasingly sensible Heitan girl to the Qingluan Kingdom in the southeast of Aquarius Continent. On the fifth day of May of that year, he received the first birthday gift in his life. Gift...
The only time I didn't write anything else was during the years when I was the accountant at Shujian Lake.
In the end, he had to return to his hometown of Mubo Lane. When he was alone in his ancestral home and lit a lamp to keep vigil, Chen Pingan thought about it and wrote only one sentence.
"These years have been a bit difficult, but after it has passed, it seems to be okay."
Chen Ping'an finished writing one copy and transcribing another. The large pile of paper is all written in neat small regular script. It is estimated that in the eyes of experts, these words are still written with great craftsmanship. Putting aside the content, there are more than 300,000 words written in a eloquent way.
Chen Ping'an put away his pen and ink, stretched out his two hands, gently pressed on the two books that seemed to have not been bound into a volume, smoothed them gently, and pressed them.
With no worries for the time being, he wandered thousands of miles with his thoughts. After returning to his senses, Chen Pingan put the two stacks of paper into a square object and started to get up and practice.Fist, it’s still those three punches in one.
Nowadays, martial arts practitioners practice boxing and practice Qi, which consumes roughly half the time. During this period, drawing talismans is the biggest pastime.
After Chen Pingan bought two Shanshui Di newspapers, he arrived at the Xianjia Ferry in Longgong Cave without any incident.
The Dragon Palace Cave Heaven is the same as the Lizhu Cave Heaven in my hometown. They are both among the thirty-six small cave heavens. It is the ancestral industry of the Shuilong Sect and was first discovered and occupied by the founder of the Shuilong Sect. However, this area The territory was so enviable. After the two major turbulences caused by both foreign and domestic troubles, the Shuilong Sect attracted the Chongxuan Office of the Dayuan Dynasty and Duckweed Sword Lake, and only then could they earn a stable income that could guarantee harvests during droughts and floods.
Shuilong Sect is an old sect in Luzhou, Beiju. It has a long history and many allusions. Chongxuan Department of Dayuan Dynasty and Duckweed Sword Lake can only be regarded as rising stars compared to Shuilong Sect, but now However, the latter two are far superior to the Water Dragon Sect in terms of momentum.
Due to the prohibition of landscapes set up by Shuilong Sect, which is built near the water, the passengers on the ferry could not see the outline of Shuilong Sect’s Immortal Mansion. They could only see the shore of Dadu, a hundred-mile radius, and the vast mist. , when the ferry passed through the clouds and mists that were rich in moisture all year round, and slowly descended to the ferry, we were able to see the majestic and stretching buildings of Shuilong Sect.
Chen Ping'an discovered that this was his first time taking the Beiju Luzhou Ferry. After docking, all the passengers disembarked on foot.
Thinking of the domineering behavior of the Lu emperors of the Dayuan Dynasty, the deeds and rumors of the Yang family of the Yunxiao Palace of the Chongxuan Department, and Chen Ping'an's personal experience with the sword fairy Li Cai of Duckweed Sword Lake, it became clear that Not to mention surprised.
Munudu of the Shuilong Sect is planted with more than a thousand fairy orange trees, all of which were planted by the founder of the Shuilong Sect. This ancestor once had his last words when he died in Bingjie. His life was mediocre, but only There are thousands of wooden slaves, who are bequeathed to his children.
Chen Ping'an, dressed in a green shirt with a sword on his back, a sword gourd hanging on his waist, and a green bamboo walking stick in his hand, walked slowly along the large ferry with an archway on which was embedded a Chinese-earth inscription. A certain calligrapher saint's handwritten book "Underwater Cave in Heaven". Dadu flows through here, and the water surface is extremely open, even up to three hundred miles wide. The Dragon Palace Cave is under the water of Dadu, similar to the Dragon Palace Palace in Cangjun Lake. However, there is no need for monks to avoid the water to visit, because the Water Dragon Sect consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to build There is a long underwater bridge, which allows tourists to enter the water and visit the Dragon Palace Cave. Of course, they need to pay a toll. Ten pieces of snow cost money. After paying the money, if you want to enter the legendary ancient times through the long bridge, there are thousands of roads. Dragons are entrenched and people are ordered to go out to the Dragon Palace Cave to make clouds and rain. Additional expenses are required, including a small summer coin.
This is obviously pig killing.
When Chen Pingan thought of the hundred-eyed Taotie robe he picked up from Yang Ningxing in Yunxiao Palace, he felt that these fairy money were not unbearable.
The Skeleton Beach, Ghost Valley, and Yang Ningxing, the "little heavenly king" of the Yang family in Yunxiao Palace.
On the border of Wuling Kingdom, Sui Jingcheng, the direct disciple of Duckweed Jianhu Li Cai.
The ruins of the Immortal Mansion, the direct descendant of the Shuilong Sect Patriarch Hall next to the young Marquis Zhan QingWhite jade.
It seems that on the road of spiritual practice, those relationships are like a mess, and every big and small knot is an encounter, giving people the illusion that the world is actually only so big.
Munudu is bustling with people and noisy. It does not look like a fairy ferry, but more like a bustling street in a secular city.
Because the following October 10th and October 15th are two important days, both down the mountain and even more so on the mountain.
One is one of the three major ghost festivals, and the other is the day when Shuiguan relieves misfortune.
The Shuilong Sect held two Taoist rituals in the Dragon Palace Cave that is open to the public. The ceremony is ancient and highly respected. Depending on the size and year, the Shuilong Sect monks may build gold urns, jade urns, or yellow urns. The temple helps all living beings pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. Especially the second Shuiguan's birthday, because this ancient god is the master of many gods in the water, it has always been the most important day for the Water Dragon Sect.
Except for the majestic archway, Chen Pingan found that the style regulations here are somewhat similar to the Xianfu ruins. After the archway, there are dozens of stone monuments. Could it be that all the waterfront places near Dadu are like this? Fastidious? Chen Pingan looked over one by one. There were not a few people who were the same as him. There were also many Confucian scholars who were studying abroad. They seemed to be from academies. They were immersed in copying the inscriptions next to the stone tablet. Chen Pingan browsed it carefully. The "Notes on the Construction of the Stone Bridge by the Sages" in the Daping Period, and the "Dragon Pavilion Throwing Water Stele" written by the local calligrapher and saint in Luzhou, Beiju, because these two inscriptions explain in detail the construction process of the stone bridge in the water, and are related to The origin and excavation of Longgong Cave.
The team was as long as a swimming dragon. Chen Pingan waited for nearly half an hour before he saw the monk from Shuilong Sect who was responsible for collecting passing money.
After paying ten snow coins, I got a seal token carved from ancient fairy orange wood. It was antique and had excellent seal writing. The Shuilong Sect monk said that when you reach the other end of the bridge, you can just hand it over to the Shuilong Sect monk at the other end of the bridge.
This is the first time Chen Pingan has seen the wooden seal of the Immortal Family on the mountain. The seal is "rest" and the margin is "fame and wealth are a matter of life, life and death."
Chen Pingan asked whether these wooden seals could be bought and sold.
The Water Dragon Sect female cultivator smiled sweetly and said that the orange wood seal across the bridge belongs to the sect and is not for sale. Each seal needs to be recorded. However, there is a shop inside the Dragon Palace Cave that specializes in selling all kinds of seals. Not only the immortal orange wood seal unique to Shuilong Sect, but also all kinds of famous stone seals. Guests can definitely buy their favorite things when they go to the Dragon Palace Cave. .
Chen Ping'an just wanted to ask about the price of the wood seals inside the Dragon Palace Cave.
The people behind him complained and cursed, telling him to get out of here and stop teasing the fairy.
Chen Pingan had no choice but to turn around and apologize, and then quickly left the team to make way for the guests behind him. Chen Ping'an was a little regretful. The large and small items in the Xianjia shop were not only expensive, but also the higher the sect's hilltop, the harder it was to pick them up. On the contrary, it was Aquarius Island Qingfufang and Fengweidu Baofuozhai.It's a small ferry, but there are still some opportunities.
The long bridge itself with an extremely wide bridge deck has the effect of diverting water. An arch bridge is still an arch bridge, but the bridge entering the water seems to be hanging upside down. It is said that the bottom of the arc in the center of the bridge is close to the bottom of Dadu Water. Undoubtedly another surprise.
Going onto the bridge is equivalent to walking into Dadu Water.
The bridge is extremely wide and the bridge is bustling with traffic. It is even more exaggerated than the imperial streets of the capital of secular dynasties.
It can be seen that Shuilong Zong just collects the money to buy the way, and makes a lot of money every day.
Chen Pingan looked up and saw that the water in Dadu was clear and faint in color, not as turbid as ordinary rivers.
The bridge is more than three hundred miles long, so carriages and horses can be hired to travel between the two ends of the stone bridge.
On the other side of Dadu and Shiqiao, the Shuilong Sect also has endless mansions and buildings. There is a Yupu Realm Patriarch on each side, so they are customarily divided into the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect. The Ancestral Hall is located in the north of Dadu, and the predecessor of the Shuilong Sect's Ancestral Hall is one of the three ancient temples in Jidu. Therefore, it is said that the children of the Northern Sect have always regarded themselves very highly and are from the same sect as the Southern Sect. There is a vague line between the two. Invisible boundaries.
Chen Ping'an can understand it. As long as it doesn't involve big rights and wrongs, this kind of human mentality is inevitable.
In the future, once Lu Baixiang spreads its branches outside Luopo Mountain, it may be the same. Lu Baixiang’s direct disciples may also feel uncomfortable if they arrive at the Luopo Mountain Patriarch Hall.
How to prepare for a rainy day is the greatest test of a mountain’s style of work.
Reading books and understanding ancient stories, observing people on the road means observing oneself. This is probably the purpose of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles.
There are many things that you just have to think about on your own, no matter how hard you try
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
You can’t figure out real knowledge even if you think about it. Even if the truth is derived through careful analysis, it will inevitably be empty. As Cui Dongshan said, once a good truth is taken out of the belly and placed on the road of materialistic world, it will be vulnerable. How can it not be a pity.
It’s just that some people have experienced a lot of things, but they haven’t been able to sort out one or two threads. After drifting with the crowd, they comfort themselves with the world. Although it is helpless, it is a pity after all.
Chen Pingan was still walking slowly and thinking about all the gains and losses.
No matter how strange the scenery of the Long Bridge in Dadu Water is, after walking for dozens of miles, it is actually ordinary.
Even if there are strange swimming fish that are as bright as firefly lanterns around the long bridge in the water, and many ghostly creatures swimming around under the command of the water god He Bo, if you look at them too much, you will lose interest.
Chen Ping'an found that during the first ten miles, almost everyone was in high spirits, looking left and right, leaning on railings and looking into the distance, making loud noises, and then gradually quieted down, with the only sound of cars and horses passing by.
Chen Ping'an's greatest interest is to see the margins and seals of the wooden seals hanging on the waists of tourists and memorize them one by one.
If the fairy orange wood seal in the Dragon Palace Cave is too expensive later, you can choose it yourselfGood wood seal carving is the way to go.
After traveling for more than a hundred miles, there are more than ten teahouses and restaurants on the bridge, which are somewhat similar to roadside pavilions on the landscape road.
Chen Ping'an picked a five-story restaurant and ordered a pot of Shuilong Sect's specialty Xianjia Liquor, San Geng Liquor, two dishes to go with the wine, and then added money to get it on the first floor. A window seat with a wide view. The first floor of the restaurant was full of people. As soon as Chen Pingan took his seat, the restaurant waiter soon brought a group of customers over. He smiled and asked if he could share a table. If the guests agreed, the restaurant would give them a free table. After a bowl of wine at midnight, Chen Pingan looked at the group of people, two men and one woman. They didn't look very fierce. The young men and women were neither pure martial artists nor monks. They seemed to be from a wealthy family. An old man beside them The servant was probably a six-level warrior, so Chen Pingan agreed. The young master smiled and nodded his thanks, and Chen Pingan picked up the wine bowl as a return gift.
In fact, if you want to have a better view and go to a higher level, it is very simple, just add money.
I just walked more than a hundred miles and saw all the underwater scenery in Dadu. It would be a waste of money to pay extra.
Of course, there are many people who do not regard fairy money as money.
Chen Pingan drank wine and listened silently to the chatter of the drinkers.
The fire can’t be contained by paper. Even though the Emperor of the Da Zhuan Dynasty strictly ordered not to leak the results of that battle, people had mixed eyes, and various gossips gradually leaked out, and finally appeared on Shanshui Dibao. Therefore, the life-changing fight between Ji Yue, the Sword Immortal of Yuantiao Mountain, and Gu You, a ten-level martial artist, has now become the talk of the monks on the mountain, and it has become more and more intense. Compared with the previous great sword Immortal of the North who died in the Sword Qi Great Wall, the news was passed on After returning to Beiju Luzhou, he could only sacrifice his sword. Ji Yue was also a swordsman in this continent, and his death was unknown, especially when he died at the hands of a pure martial artist. The taboo and the meaning of "the dead are the most important" made everyone talk more unscrupulously.
The reputation of this restaurant is almost one-sided.
Even the sword cultivators were praising the great master Gu You. When mentioning the sword immortal Ji Yue, there was only ridicule and anger.
Gu You’s boxing technique has no disciples to pass it down.
Ji Yue still has a powerful Yuanwei Mountain, with many disciples in the sect. However, Yuanwei Mountain is a bit out of date, and now there is no Upper Five Realm sword cultivator sitting on the top of the mountain.
When Ji Yue was alive, one Immortal Realm sword cultivator was enough.
When Ji Yue died, his reputation as a swordsman and his power during his lifetime seemed to have become an unforgivable sin.
Someone said angrily: "What a bullshit great swordsman! He didn't dare to go to the Sword Qi Great Wall to kill monsters, but he even gave his life to a martial artist to kill him, which has completely disgraced us sword cultivators!" "
Someone nodded in agreement and sneered: "It is said that Ji Yue's time to reach the Immortal Realm is still short. Let me see, in fact, it is not an Immortal Realm at all. It has always been the unbeatable Yupu Realm Sword. "Xiu, Ji Yue calls himself the Great Sword Immortal."
Some people lamented his misfortune and were angry, "Although his opponent is one of the four great warriors in our continent.This Ji Yue died a bit cowardly, he actually locked the natal flying sword to Gu You, smashed his body with one punch, shattered the golden elixir Yuanying with two punches, and died with three punches. How could the dignified Sword Immortal of Yuanwei Mountain be so careless? It was a good thing that he did not go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Otherwise, he would be even more embarrassed. He taught the local swordsmen to mistakenly think that the sword immortals in Luzhou, Beiju, were all embroidered by Ji Yue and his ilk. Pillow. "
After a while, a monk who had some relationship and affection with Yuanwei Mountain said angrily: "Everyone in the continent knows how good Ji Jianxian is in cultivation. Why bother talking in strange ways after Ji Jianxian died in battle? , what did you do early? ! ”
Someone tutted and said, “Hey, finally a friend from Yuanwei Mountain has stood up and spoken out.” ”
Someone deliberately “lowered their voice” and said with a smile: “Let’s all be careful. Ji Yue, the Great Sword Immortal of Yuanwei Mountain, has many friends. If we just say these unpleasant words, we will be beaten.” Shut up obediently, the rules of Yuan Cry Mountain are so big, and the sword is so fast, it scares a person to death. ”
Soon someone started singing along and sneered: “Why, we are only allowed to talk nonsense about Ji Dajianxian, but we ants are not allowed to talk about our conscience?” This Yuan Cry Mountain sword cultivator has such a big air and majesty that he cannot allow outsiders to say even a fair word? "
Chen Ping'an drank wine and looked at the flowing water of Dadu outside the building, like a mute old man who had been speechless for eternity.
Someone else slapped the table and stood up, "Where in the world is this? With such an unbearable swordsman, don’t you talk-talkers use your brains? Or do you think that if you were to fight against Senior Gu You, you would be sure to win? "
Someone immediately responded tit-for-tat, slammed the wine glass in their hands on the table, and laughed: "Haha, why, I am not a swordsman, so I can't make half the truth? Then in Luzhou, Beiju, except for that small group of people, do we all have to shut up? Is there such a thing in the world? Is it possible that there is a shop for truth, founded by Ape Crying Mountain, and it is the only one in the world? ”
Chen Pingan smiled.
It seems to make sense.
The few monks who fought against Ji Yue and Yuantong Mountain were all aggrieved. No.
More people were very happy. Many people loudly asked the restaurant for a few more jugs of wine. Some people drank the wine and directly removed the unsealed wine jugs. , threw out of the restaurant, saying that it was a pity that he had not been able to meet that senior Gu in this life, and that he had not been able to witness the deadly battle on the Yuxi River with his own eyes. Even if he was a Taoist who looked down on the martial artist at the foot of the mountain, he should offer a pot of wine to the martial artist Gu Youyao. .
The three people at the same table with Chen Pingan were just whispering.
The woman asked softly: "Wei Qi, is that Yuanwei Mountain monk really acting arrogantly? Why is it so outrageous? ”
The young man named Wei Qi shook his head and said with a smile: “Actually, it’s not bad. Jianxiu Mountain has no temper, but Yuanwei Mountain has a better reputation than the Taihui Jianzong to the north.” It's worse.
The old man said calmly: "What's the point of scolding the martial artist Gu You? As a cultivator, only by scolding the great swordsman and respecting the martial artist in turn canAppear elegant. "
The woman asked curiously: "Do the monks who scolded the most fiercely have any grudge against Yuanwei Mountain?
Wei Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "If we really want to enmity, we won't let the news of Ji Yue's death be revealed outside." People who have resentments in their hearts and are willing to express them with their mouths are never the ones with mortal enemies, but those with half-baked relationships. The words of these people are often the most able to confuse the hearts of those who are watching. In the marketplace, in official circles, in the mountains and rivers, everything is not the same. After seeing and hearing too much, that is actually the case. "
Chen Pingan glanced at Wei Qi and the young woman who was hesitant to speak, and reminded him from his heart: "A monk has a sharp ear, and a young man should be careful when speaking. "
Wei Qi nodded with a smile, took the initiative to raise the wine bowl to the green-shirted guest, and replied with ripples in his heart: "It should be like this, just drink, don't talk about right and wrong. ”
Chen Pingan was slightly surprised.
He is actually a Qi practitioner with a high level?
Chen Pingan really didn’t realize it before.
However, Wei Qi was actually quite shocked. The sword-backing ranger in front of him, who looked like a pure martial artist in the fourth and fifth realms, turned out to be a Qi practitioner.
There were several people in the restaurant lobby. The like-minded strangers were all cheerful people who cursed Yuan Mingshan and Ji Yue. Everyone raised their wine bowls high and toasted each other.
Chen Pingan could even see the sincerity in their eyes. The bright look on his face when he was drinking was not a fake. This was the most interesting thing.
Chen Ping'an had no objections to them. In life, it was rare for him to speak out loudly if he didn't like what he wanted. It's so unreasonable, and after saying that, the past is gone, and there is another excitement, and there are some bold words that can be paired with wine.
What Chen Ping'an pays attention to is the other people who speak more clearly and make sense. It's not that extreme, it's more understanding and more reasonable.
Between the words of the world, it seems that there are sages and gods walking around at night, and ghosts running rampant during the day.
It’s a big monster in the mountains, so it’s okay for pedestrians to give in.
There are many enchanting water ghosts in the river, swaying and quietly pulling people into the water.
There are also people on the second floor. Chatting about things on the mountain. It was just about the competition in the lobby. Everyone on the second floor was chatting about their own affairs without deliberately suppressing the figures. Chen Pingan heard someone talking about Qi Jinglong's retreat and guessing which three sword immortals would ask the sword. Taihui Sword Sect, talk about the battle between Huang Xi and Xiu Niang, the Qingliang Sect that has risen rapidly, and the young female sect leader who threatened to have a Taoist companion.
Over there on the third floor, Chen Ping'an heard someone talking about business, speaking loudly but in a low voice. Every transaction could cost thousands of snow coins.
The conversation on the fourth floor was just that. It's hard to hear clearly, and there are many magic restrictions. Naturally, Chen Ping'an won't pry without permission. He can hear as much as he can.
I vaguely heard that someone was talking about the general situation of Aquarius Continent. When we arrived at Beiyue and Wei Bo, we were still talking about Aai Ai Continent and Middle Earth Divine Continent, for example.Let’s guess whether Cao Ci, a young warrior from the Daduan Dynasty, has reached the golden realm now, and at what age he will reach the end of martial arts.
As for the fifth floor on the top floor, only the slight clinking of wine glasses and bowls could be heard from time to time.
Chen Pingan slowly drank a bottle and a bowl of midnight wine, then got up and went to the counter to pay the bill, and left the restaurant alone.
During this period, he did not forget to nod to the three people. Wei Qi also smiled and returned the salute, gently raising his wine glass.
Chen Pingan was walking on the long bridge in Dadu, and there was a luxury car in the distance
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Driving suddenly When you see them, they are driving along the Shuimai Avenue. It looks like a noble family is going out for an outing. There are old men in purple robes and jade belts holding jade tablets, there are also gods in silver armor holding iron guns, and there are goddesses in white looking at them. The two rays of brilliance actually overflowed from his eyes and remained there for a long time.
These beings are the narcissus water monsters recorded in the official and unofficial history. They have lived in the Dragon Mansion for a long time and are responsible for the good weather of a place.
The entrance to the Dragon Palace Cave is somewhere on the Long Bridge fifty miles away.
Dragon Palace Cave is a genuine Dragon Palace ruins.
According to the inscriptions, there were indeed ancient narcissus living here and dragons entrenched here.
Compared with the Jiaolonggou where the descendants of the dragon lived, this Dragon Mansion is like a mansion on the mountain, and the Jiaolonggou is like a martial arts sect.
Chen Pingan saw the outline of a city head. When he got closer, he saw a gold plaque with the words "Jidu Summer Retreat" hung on the city tower.
Under the largest plaque, there are dozens of plaques handwritten by everyone, layer upon layer.
There are both the handwriting of the Fulu Immortal whose aura of talismans has lasted for thousands of years, and the methods of the Sword Immortal that contain abundant sword power.
Probably because you have to spend a small sum of money, the city gate is not as crowded as the one at the bridge.
Small caves such as Dragon Palace Cave Heaven, which have been managed by the sect for thousands of years, have no chance to be left to future generations, especially outsiders, because even if a treasure of heaven, material and earth emerges at the right moment, it will all be destroyed. He was targeted early by the Water Dragon Sect and no outsiders were allowed to get involved. Even the local snake of Shuilong Sect couldn't suppress the covetousness of some great monks from across the river. At any rate, Yang's thunder method of Yunxiao Palace and the flying sword of Duckweed Sword Lake helped to shock people's hearts.
In the history of Dragon Palace Cave, there was a huge incident in which a great thing was stolen. In the end, three families worked together to find it. The identity of the thief was unexpected and reasonable. He was a The famous Sword Immortal, as a handyman of the Water Dragon Sect, had been hiding in the cave for decades, but he still couldn't succeed. The water-borne treasure was not warmed, so he had to hand it back and live in the three sects. Under the pursuit of the old master, he survived by chance and fled to Aai'aizhou, where he became a worshiper of Liu, the God of Wealth. He still dares not return to Beiju Luzhou.
Chen Pingan was just about to hand over a small summer coin, but before he thought, someone whispered to dissuade him: "Save it if you can, no need to pay."
Chen Pingan turned aroundHe was very surprised, but he didn't call out the other person's name.
However, there was unconcealable joy in his eyes.
It turned out to be Li Liu who was supposed to be practicing at Lion Peak.
When they reunited at Sui Academy, according to Li Huai, his sister has now become a monk at Lion Peak, serving tea and water to the old gods on the mountain every day. As for his parents, He opened a shop in the market at the foot of the mountain and made a lot of money. His wife's fortune was settled.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "What a coincidence. I originally planned to finish walking through Jidu, visit Baby Mountain, and then go to Lion Peak to find you."
Li Liu shook his head gently. , smiled and said: "It's not a coincidence, I came here specifically to see you."
Chen Ping'an hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed all his words.
Li Liu is clearly an accomplished Qi practitioner, and his level is obviously extremely high.
It’s just that Chen Pingan’s feeling disappeared in a flash.
Li Liu took out a simple Chilong jade tablet. The Shuilong Sect monk guarding the city gate glanced at it and immediately saluted the unidentified young woman respectfully. Li Liu led Chen Ping'an directly Enter the city gate and climb up the white jade steps with no end in sight.
For some reason, Chen Pingan turned his head and looked around. It seemed that martial law was enforced over the city gate, and no one could enter the Dragon Palace Cave.
The group of pedestrians in front, as small as mustard seeds, gradually climbed higher.
Li Liu said softly: "Mr. Chen."
Chen Ping'an quickly said: "Just call me by my name. My temporary name is Chen Haoren."
Li Liu had a pair of moist eyes, smiling crescent moon.
Chen Ping'an also felt that he was a little shameless. He was thinking about whether to choose another pseudonym, and said, "Then you should call me Mr. Chen."
Li Liu He nodded, and then the first sentence was very important, "Mr. Chen had better reach the golden realm as soon as possible, otherwise, if it's too late, something will happen in Jinjiazhou."
Chen Pingan hesitated and said : "Strive for it."
Li Liu's second sentence made Chen Ping'an feel uneasy, "Previously, Zheng Dafeng sent a letter to Lion Peak, and I went to Luolu Mountain, the land of lotus flowers. Now it is divided into four, Luopo Mountain occupies one part, and the tung leaf umbrella is the entrance. Zhu Lian and the others urgently need to upgrade the site temporarily named Lotus Root Blessed Land to a medium blessed land, otherwise it will be abandoned. So we need two to three thousand Grain Rain coins."
Chen Ping'an looked stiff and asked cautiously: "Grain Rain coins?"
Li Liu nodded: "Gu Yu coins."
p>Chen Pingan lamented, "It won't help even if I sell the iron."
Li Liu then gave a general explanation of the current situation at Zhu Lian's side.
Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to borrow money is still considered a skill.
Who to borrow from, how much to borrow, and how to pay it back? Zhu Lian already has a charter. Chen Ping'an is careful.After listening, no one had any objections. With Zhu Lian taking the lead and Wei Bo and Zheng Dafeng helping to make plans, nothing would go wrong.
The key is that the burden of owing two to three thousand grain rain coins will ultimately fall on the shoulders of this young mountain owner, and he cannot escape.
Of course Chen Pingan will not run away. At this time, he has begun to work as a bookkeeper. He has recalculated the belongings he saved during his trip to Luzhou in Beiju, from picking up rags to carrying them all. After all the items that can be sold are sold, how many Grain Rain coins can he afford? Putting aside the borrowed money that he has patched together, can Chen Ping'an make up for the gap in Luo Luoshan in one go? The answer is simple, no.
When Chen Pingan came to his senses, Li Liu just changed the subject, "Actually, the earliest access road to Lizhu Cave is similar to the Dragon Palace Cave."
Chen Pingan said regretfully : "I haven't walked through it. By the time I left my hometown, Lizhu Cave had already taken root."
Li Liu smiled and said, "Sit for a while? No one is following us anyway."< /p>
Chen Pingan sat on the steps without hesitation, took off the sword gourd, and took a sip of wine. As for drinking in the future, he could only drink glutinous rice wine.
Li Liu said: "As long as I have that jade tablet, there won't be anyone in Shuilong Sect who can use their palms to see the mountains and rivers and check what's going on here without authorization."
Chen Ping'an still didn't ask any more questions.
My impression of Li Liu is actually very shallow. She is nothing more than Li Huai's sister and the woman that Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing like at the same time.
Before today, the two of them had never interacted with each other.
Li Liu hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Chen, I have a copy of the rubbings on the mountain, which has something to do with you, but not much. I didn't plan to give it to you. I was worried that it would cause unnecessary problems and delay Mr. Chen's work." Travel."
Chen Pingan was a little confused, thought about it, and said, "It doesn't matter. Since it is something that will be known sooner or later, it is better to make plans early."
Li Liu then followed. He took out a treasure from the mountain that looked like a copybook from his sleeve. The copybook hung in the air. Li Liu stretched out his finger and tapped it gently. The ripples spread out and the mist filled the air.
On the calligraphy scroll, a woman sitting upright appeared.
The pseudonym is Shi Qiu, a female monk from a small sect in Aquarius Continent.
From Dajiu Mountain in Luzhou, Beiju, she worked as a maid on the cross-continental ferry that crashed in the Zhuying Dynasty of Aquarius Continent.
Li Liu looked ahead and stayed out of the incident.
She has seen too many joys and sorrows in the world, and she can hardly feel anything.
The last scene of "Through the Looking Glass" shows the woman who begged for death, picking up a bag of tips that she had carefully collected for many years. She wrinkled her face, as if she was trying not to cry, and squeezed out a smile. He raised the brocade bag high, shook it slightly, and said softly: "Hey, who is that? Qiushi likes you. Did you hear it? Did you see it? If you don't know, it doesn't matter. If you know, Just knowJust say it. ”
Chen Pingan sat quietly and listened to the story without missing a word.
She is Qiushi’s sister, named Chunshui.
Chen Pingan saw it at first glance.
Finally, Chen Pingan murmured: "Okay, I understand. "
There was silence for a long time.
Li Liu put away the copybook and put it into his sleeve.
Chen Ping'an didn't care about his sword gourd, and there didn't seem to be any sadness or resentment on his face.
Li Liu didn’t find it strange either.
Li Liu just said something that seemed very inhumane, “Now that the matter has come to this, she will do nothing but die. Meaningless. "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Generally speaking, it is like this. ”
Li Liu asked: “Is there such a thing as ‘unusual’? "
Chen Pingan did not give an answer, but turned around and said: "I plan to continue on my way and won't visit the Dragon Palace Cave. I can't afford anything anyway. If I just do this, will it cause trouble for you? ? "
Li Liu smiled and said: "Mr. Chen is overly worried. I have no trouble in Luzhou, Beiju. At least the least, save your life and worry-free. ”
Chen Ping’an said he was going on his way, but he didn’t get up immediately.
He thought of the couplet he planned to hang in the Luoluo Mountain Bamboo Tower in the future. The first couplet was about the wind and rain outside the mountain. Chi Jian, if necessary, he would pick up the sword and go down the mountain.
Chen Pingan would hang the sword on his back on his waist.
This should be Chen Pingan's first time. Wearing a sword in the true sense.
I was used to just carrying a sword on my back.
Li Liu asked: "Mr. Chen, shouldn't I ask Jian Dajioshan directly?" Li Dynasty and Sanwen Tianjun thank you, right? ”
Li Liu actually doesn’t like using swords very much. Whether it is ancient gods or today’s monks, she doesn’t like it.
Chen Pingan stood up and shook the sword gourd. , smiled and said: “No, I’m not strong enough, so I’ll just drink to make it happen. ”
Li Liu smiled and nodded. She sat where she was and did not get up. She just watched the young man in green shirt and sword slowly walk down the steps.
What if you have something to do? ?
Go down the mountain with your sword.
What if the world is bigger than your ability? No, the answer can only be in your heart.
