A ferry heading to the boundary of Zhongyue in the old Zhu Ying Dynasty stopped at a ferry called Mianyun.
Two men and one woman disembarked quietly.
Wei Bo stood on the observation deck on the top floor of the ferry and watched the three people leave.
After approaching the Zhu Ying Dynasty, it was equivalent to leaving the top of his own mountain and entering someone else's territory. Wei Bo's perception of Piyun Mountain had weakened a lot. When he arrived at the Great Li Xinzhong Mountain, he would only be more influenced by nature. Overwhelming victory, this is the invisible rule that all the mountain and water gods in the world have to abide by. The mountain god wades through the water, and the water god climbs the mountain, so his hands and feet must be restrained, and a Dayue mountain king who leaves his own territory and visits his fellow mountain kings cannot escape this same rule.
But even so, it is still not a big problem.
There is no way, Wei Bo is now the first five-level tiger in the history of Aquarius Continent. The Zhongyue Mountain King who is not very polite, even if he is equal to the Yupu Realm, is not a real one after all. The gods of the upper five realms.
This time he left Beiyue territory, both public and private, Wei Bo had a decent opinion, and the Dali court was willing to turn a blind eye even if it was not happy to see the outcome.
Wei Bo's recommender on the stage of Dali Temple was Xu Ruo, a Mohist knight-errant.
Wei Bo left Qidun Mountain with Xu Ruo and went to Piyun Mountain.
The stooped Zhu Lian was using his bare hands.
The slender Lu Baixiang wears a narrow knife to stop the snow.
On the other side of the ferry, after Liu Chongrun got off the boat, he couldn't help but said to Zhu Lian who was walking beside him: "Mr. Zhu, it is not difficult to find the water palace dragon boat. The water palace can be said to be an ancient artifact." The immortal has completely refined the thing. I have mastered the method of opening the mountain for this important treasure of the immortal family. When I put it together, a water palace is no more than the size of a carriage and can be carried to the ferry. But the dragon boat has only a small level of refinement. I want to To bring it back to Longquan County, we can only spend some immortal money and use the dragon boat as a ferry to swagger through the city."
Zhu Lian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, there will be special personnel for us at the Great Li Cavalry. We will escort you to the treasure hunt, and then we will take the dragon boat back to Luolu Mountain without any obstruction."
Liu Chongrun smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhu, are you really kidding me?"
Zhu Lian said seriously: "Liu Chongrun said with a smile. The owner of the island is the master of the sect, and he is also a golden elixir immortal. I am a bad old man, how can I dare to make mistakes?"
Liu Chongrun felt that he could only take one step at a time.
The dragon and boat in the water palace have always been Liu Chongrun’s worry.
Who to give it to is a big question. Even if you accidentally give it to the wrong one, it will be a bleak ending for Zhuchai Island that will not be peaceful for a hundred years. Whether you can keep the Ancestral Master Hall is a matter of course.
Before doing business with Luopo Mountain, in order to continue to establish a foothold in Shujian Lake and not be annexed by the Zhenjing Sect as a vassal island, Liu Chongrun weighed the pros and cons and revealed the water palace to the Zhenjing Sect. Zhuchai Island was under the shelter of others and had to bow his head. Liu Chongrun regarded it as a waste of money to eliminate disasters. The Zhenjing Sect was worthy of being the next sect of the Jade Guizong, the leader of Tongyezhou. As expected, he had no evil intentions and could not commit murder.By silencing everyone and monopolizing the treasure, Zhuchai Island was not only able to retain the ancestral hall, but also obtained a piece of peace and quiet plaque issued by the Ministry of Punishment of the Great Li to the monks on the mountain. This was the first time that Liu Chongrun did not visit Luoluo Mountain in person. The reason was just to dispatch a few direct disciples of Zhuchai Island who were relatively familiar with Chen Ping'an.
It’s just that the subsequent development of events was beyond imagination. Inexplicably, the Zhenjing Sect gave up on seizing the water palace. Not only that, the Wu Shi Pai was not taken away from Zhuchai Island. For this reason Liu Chongrun went to Gongliu Island with great trepidation. Of course, he could not see the leader of the Jiang clan who had never seen the dragon. He only saw Liu Laocheng, the chief minister of the Zhenjing Sect. Liu Laocheng said that this was the wish of the clan leader, so that Liu Chongrun could rest assured. , the "Nothing Card" won't be hot, Liu Laocheng dismissed Liu Chongrun in a few words.
When you leave Miyagi Island, do you feel at ease? Liu Chongrun was not worried at all.
But there is nothing we can do, we cannot force the Zhenjing Sect to take over the Water Palace.
That’s why Liu Chongrun finally decided to move to Longquan County, personally went to Luopo Mountain as a guest, selected a location on the back of the fish, and mentioned the secret to Luopo Mountain. Liu Chongrun did not deliberately conceal the fact that Zhenjing Sect learned about Shui The news about Dian Longzhou also mentioned the decision of the Zhenjing Sect. Zhu Lian, the chief steward, smiled a little weirdly at that time and said that Island Master Liu should just rest assured. Zhu Lian also promised that even if Luo Luo Mountain would not dig up treasures, at least this news would not If it is leaked to anyone, it will not cause the monks from Zhuchai Island to have valuable treasures and get into trouble.
Liu Chongrun still didn’t dare to rest assured.
At this moment, Liu Chongrun really embarked on the road of treasure hunting in his hometown. Liu Chongrun had mixed feelings. If it were not for the resurrection of the water palace dragon boat, Liu Chongrun would never set foot on this sad place again in his life.
Liu Chongrun had no hesitation about the choice of water palace dragon boat.
The Water Palace is the foundation of a sect. It can be said to be a natural cave of immortals. It integrates the ancestral hall, the place where earthly immortals practice Taoism, and the landscape formation. It is placed near the water. Shu Jian Lake is something that even an Earth Immortal monk would covet, and it is enough to support a Nascent Soul Realm monk to practice here. Therefore, the Zhenjing Sect handed Liu Chongrun a priceless "No Matter Card" without saying a word. It's sincerity.
Although that huge dragon boat cannot cross continents, it is enough to carry a large amount of goods to and from a continent. For the small-scale Zhuchai Island, it is useless, and for the ambitious Luo Luoshan To put it bluntly, it solves an urgent need.
While Liu Chongrun was wandering thousands of miles away, Lu Baixiang was secretly talking to Zhu Lian using the martial arts method of concentrating sound into a line. Lu Baixiang asked with a smile: "Even if the dragon boat is successfully retrieved, you still have to go all over the place." If you run away, won't it delay your practice? Now that you have become the face of Luopo Mountain, and you can no longer be that unscrupulous martial arts madman, won't you feel uncomfortable every day?"
Zhu Lian smiled. He replied: "I feel very comfortable after being busy every day."
Lu Baixiang said: "If you, Zhu Leng, have an agenda, as long as it is revealed, even if Chen Ping'an misses you and lets you go, I will I will kill you with my own hands."
Zhu Lian said: "You don't have such a chance.
Lu Baixiang asked: "Does it mean that I am destined to be unable to kill you, or are you really keeping to yourself in Luolu Mountain?" "
Zhu Lian asked in reply: "What a great talent Master Lu is. Lu Baixiang in the history of Ouhua Blessed Land has always been decisive in killing, how come he has become so crooked? "
Lu Baixiang stopped talking.
In that world, Lu Baixiang is the ancestor, and Zhu Lian is the later generation.
Zhu Lianxiao Said: "As expected, only my young master understands me best, and Cui Dongshan can only count half of it. As for you three fellow countrymen, even less so. "
Lu Baixiang laughed it off and gently rubbed the handle of the narrow knife with his palm.
Zhu Lian glanced at Lu Baixiang's small movements and said, "Believe it or not, you are now drawing out the knife." Even the sheath can't do it? "
Lu Baixiang smiled and said: "I don't really believe it. "
Zhu Lian said: "Looking for a chance to practice with you?
Lu Baixiang shook his head and said, "Let's save it for now. We'll talk about it in a few years."
Zhu Lian said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Master Lu alone. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I'm used to staying in remote areas. My life is too comfortable, so it's easy for me to not know how high the sky is." "
Lu Baixiang turned his head and looked at Zhu Lian.
Zhu Lian looked at him: "Lu Baixiang, from the blessed land of lotus flowers where there are no cultivators, came to In a world full of ghosts, monsters and gods, especially in recent years, have you always been close to your side? What? With the Dharma Sword in my hand, do I have everything in the world? Why don't you simply go and learn from the Sui Dynasty's right-hand man, and directly practice cultivation to seek immortality? It wouldn't be better. "
Lu Baixiang frowned and said: "You are hiding on Luolu Mountain, do you need to pay attention to the fight at all times? How can you compare with me?
Zhu Lian sneered and said: "Practice boxing is a family matter. Don't ask me. The answer is good or bad. I can tell you whatever you want to hear." As for the truth, you have to ask yourself. "
Lu Baixiang sighed, "It's a bit troublesome.
Zhu Lian smiled and said: "In a small place, if you have good qualifications and good luck, but some impurities will not show up, it will not be possible in a big world." There are four of us in the picture scroll. I just think you are a little more pleasing to the eye. If you are likable, you should say a few words less. ”
Lu Baixiang nodded, and he listened.
Although Liu Chongrun didn’t know what the two were communicating, Lu Baixiang’s murderous intention was revealed just now, which actually made her This Jindan Immortal was a little frightened.
Who was Lu Baixiang? It was just one of the names on the Luopo Mountain Patriarch Hall's genealogy.
Liu Chongrun felt a little sad. When can Zhuchai Island become a truly stable Xianjia sect, without having to look at people’s faces or renting mountains?
Leave Shujian Lake with all the direct monks, leaving only an empty ancestral hall. Is it really a wise choice to settle in Longquan County and build a mansion on the back of the fish?
Liu Chongrun doesn’t know the answer now.
At the moment, Liu Chongrun only knows that there is no one around him.Zhu Lian and Lu Baixiang in the distance are both first-class martial arts masters. In any dynasty in the history of Aquarius Continent, they are the guests of emperors and generals. They dare not neglect them, and their fists are the only reason. The key point is that the warriors of the third realm of refining the gods have already been involved in the military fortune of a country. They are no worse than the gods of mountains and rivers who consolidate the power of a region's jurisdiction, and even have an even greater effect.
It's just that Liu Chongrun is not sure what level of martial arts Zhu Lian and Lu Baixiang are. As for who is more powerful, Liu Chongrun has no way of knowing. After all, he hasn't had the chance to see them actually take action yet.
For the impression of Zhu Lian, he is more of a great housekeeper from Luolu Mountain, who smiles at everyone and has dealt with him several times. Apart from being impeccable in dealing with people and being good at doing business, Liu Chongrun actually doesn’t know much about him and seems to have met him many times. , but it made her even more confused.
On the other hand, Lu Baixiang is a master who is not easy to mess with at first glance. He has such an imposing manner that not even a blind person can see it.
Liu Chongrun discovered that Luolu Mountain seemed to hide many unknown secrets. As long as there was a chance to come into contact with them, one after another would appear, making it dizzying.
Wei Bo, the king of Beiyue Mountain in Dali, was a frequent visitor to Luolu Mountain. The hunchbacked man with evil eyes did not show any respect to Wei Bo.
The shopkeeper named Shi at the New Year's Shop in Qilong Alley had a weird skin, and seemed to have a hint of femininity, which made Liu Chongrun completely unable to see the depth of his cultivation.
Chen Ruchu, Chen Lingjun, Zhou Mili, and the three monsters, especially the kid in green, seem to be about to reach the bottleneck of the Dragon Gate Realm. Once it reaches the Golden Core Realm, a Golden Core monster belonging to the dragon family, can The extraordinary golden elixir cultivator can compete with him and can be treated as half a Nascent Soul. But it seems that Chen Lingjun is the most disliked person on Luolu Mountain, and it seems to be ignored and doesn't feel anything wrong. If this was left in Shujian Lake, he would have rebelled long ago, right?
Liu Chongrun occasionally wonders, does the young mountain master want to reach the sky in one step and turn the originally unknown Luopo Mountain in Longquan County into a sect with the title of a sect? Compete with the Longquan Sword Sect of Saint Ruan Qiong?
Isn’t it a bit whimsical?
After all, there are many warriors and few monks on Luolu Mountain, and it is hard to tell who is the powerful Earth Immortal who is expected to reach the upper five realms.
On the other hand, the Longquan Sword Sect, which is adjacent to Luopo Mountain, has only a handful of monks despite the number of disciples it has recruited. Not to mention the saint Ruan Qiong himself, Dong Gu is already a golden elixir. Regarding Ruan Qiong’s only daughter, Ruan Xiu and Liu Chongrun were from Shujian Lake. One night, she had seen the strange phenomenon of the island with her own eyes and had a piece of peace and quiet beside her, so she heard some mysterious gossip, saying that Ruan Xiu had been with A young man in white with unknown origins working together to hunt down an old Nascent Soul sword cultivator from the Zhu Ying Dynasty is simply shocking.
Furthermore, a famous mountain cannot accommodate two golden elixirs. It is an unwritten rule on the mountain to be allies when far away and enemies when close.
Longquan County’s territory, even if it is not small and has abundant spiritual energy, cannot support two people.A prosperous Zongzitou fairy family.
Zhu Lian, who had obviously never been to Xianjia Ferry, was very familiar with the road. He led Liu Chongrun and Lu Baixiang. As soon as the three of them left Mianyun Ferry, Liu Chongrun saw a group of elite cavalry. Not many, just about twenty riders.
But it made Liu Chongrun instantly horrified.
The first three knights, in the middle is a young man who has been through a lot of work. He has a calm expression and is not wearing armor, but he has a large Li standard sword hanging on his waist.
The rider next to him was a handsome young man in black robes, wearing long and short swords. He was squatting on the horse and yawning.
On the other side is a stocky man.
Liu Chongrun felt that except for the central commander, the other two were very dangerous.
As for those big Li Jingqi, Liu Chongrun was born as the eldest princess of the subjugated country. He had been in charge of government affairs for many years and took care of the housework, which was to take care of the country. Therefore, he was naturally an expert and could spot the Biao of those Jingqi at a glance. Strong and good at fighting.
The Great Li cavalry are good at fighting, not only willing to die generously on the battlefield, but also exuding an aura of orderliness.
They are all traces of the careful polishing by the national master Cui Chan.
Zhu Lian looked up at the dark-skinned man, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Isn't this our Lord Wu Xuanlang, Mr. Wei!"
The man whom Zhu Lian called Wu Xuanlang Man, indifferent.
The young man in the middle turned his head and smiled: "Brother Wei, who is this old man?"
The man replied solemnly: "My surname is Zhu Minglian, an old acquaintance from my hometown. Madman Wu is now traveling far away and working as a steward in Longquan County."
The young man was a little surprised.
Grandmaster of the Eighth Realm?
Why have you never heard of it? He knew exactly which far-traveling warriors there were in Da Li, because most of them joined the battlefield, and almost no one stayed in the world.
As for the Eighth Realm Qi Practitioners, he didn't care to hear about them.
He is a member of the first-class generals of Da Li. He was born in the Chier Street in the capital, where generals are like clouds. He has never had a good impression of Taoists, but he only has a fondness for warriors, whether on the battlefield or in the world. , all have a natural closeness.
His ancestors fought for the Dali court and their family name with one punch and one sword.
When it comes to himself, the same is true. He, Liu Xunmei, is just like his good friend Guan Yiran. What he despises the most is the group of moths in Yichi Lane who are enjoying their blessings on the merits of their ancestors. He, Liu Xunmei, The name was given by Mr. Guan himself.
Many of the dandy boys in Yichi Lane and Chier Street really cannot afford to be supported. Under the arrangements of their parents, they work in the yamen to make money, help local wealthy people to make connections, or introduce the immortal masters in the mountains. Serving as worshipers of a well-to-do family, they entertain endless banquets and banquets all year round. This group of people, regardless of the size of the official circles and banquets in the capital, are all uncles. The maids around them must be female cultivators from the fairy family, and the servants must be the gods on the mountain. , can you let them go to Chier Street to have a look? Which one is not shrinking?Holding his neck and talking in a low voice?
Liu Xunmei turned over and dismounted, clasped her fists at Zhu Lian and smiled, "Liu Xunmei, I have met Senior Zhu!"
Zhu Lian quickly returned the favor with clasped fists and said with a smile: "General Liu He is young and promising, and he is full of confidence in offering incense to his ancestors in the ancestral hall."
Liu Xun was so happy that he didn't feel that it was rude at all for the other party to use the incense of his ancestors to make excuses.
The general dismounted, Wei Xian followed suit, and the other elite cavalry dismounted one after another.
Only the young black-robed swordsman with a pair of red phoenix eyes continued to squat on the horse, nodded and said: "It is very powerful to control the wind. Wei Xian, there are talents in your hometown, this At one point, follow us in Mubo Alley."
Sword repairman Cao Jun.
Cao Jun is a monk born and raised in Nanbosu Continent, but Cao Xi, the ancestor of the family, was born in the Mupin Lane in Lizhu Cave.
Lu Baixiang, who had been walking behind Zhu Lian and Liu Chongrun, stood side by side with Zhu Lian.
Wei Xian nodded towards Lu Baixiang, who smiled and nodded in return.
After Wei Xian left Cui Dongshan, he joined the army of the Great Li and became a monk accompanying the Great Li cavalry. He fought in real and dangerous battles, and now he is temporarily serving as the commander of the army, only waiting for the documents from the Ministry of War. According to the order, Wei Xian, who gets Wu Xuanlang, will be promoted to the rank of commander immediately. Of course, if Wei Xian is willing to lead the troops in battle in person, he can be promoted to the sixth rank military general according to the law, leading an old battalion and commanding more than a thousand troops. .
The corps commanders of Dali should be the most valuable corps commanders in the world. They can meet all military generals from the third-grade real power general to the following on the road. There is no need to salute. If you are in the mood, just clasp your fists. It doesn't matter if you turn a blind eye if you like.
Wei Xian has now been awarded the sixth rank among the twelve rank Wusanguan of the Great Li Cavalry. Wu Xuanlang, whose character starts with Wu, and the first five Wusanguan, are generally awarded only for outstanding achievements in battle on the battlefield. Military general. The Dali imperial court, which established its country through military force, has always had the first rank of military officials, namely Shangzhu Kingdom. However, the extremely respected title of Shangzhu Kingdom is not necessarily awarded only to warriors.
Cao Jun has always been Wei Xian's immediate boss. With his military merit, he is in charge of all the monks accompanying the army of a large force of ten thousand cavalry. Although Wei Xian is only the captain, he is somewhat similar to Cao Jun's auxiliary officer. , according to Cao Jun, a lazy man, don't use your brain if you can, so troublesome things like mobilizing troops and punishing generals are all left to the ignorant Wei Xian. Wei Xian said he was a military monk, but more importantly Like a pure martial artist, there was some criticism at first. I always felt that this guy was a disciple of a certain big boss in the Ministry of War. After watching the war end, he came to take advantage of the military glory. However, after a few battles, the rumors disappeared, and the truth It's very simple. The monks who were accompanying Wei Xian and who should have died in the battle all survived.
Da Li Jingqi prepared their horses here, and everyone rode together to the place where the treasure was hidden. It was not too far from Mianyun Ferry, more than two hundred miles away, and the Water Palace Dragon Boat was buried in a river. At the bottom of the mountain, the secret passage is extremely hidden. Only Liu Chongrun masters the methods to crack the many landscape restrictions, otherwise even if he finds the treasureUnless the roots of the water transport mountain are destroyed, there is no way to enter the secret realm. But once this is done, the mechanism is triggered, and the water palace dragon boat will collapse.
Liu Chongrun was even more shocked when he learned that the young cavalry general Liu Xunmei, who was less than thirty years old, was actually a fourth-grade military general of Great Li Zheng.
On the one hand, I was surprised by this person's rapid career advancement. To advance to the rank of a general in Dali, you must have a foundation of military merit. This is an iron rule. A general with an ancestor's background may have a higher starting point, but There are several. On the other hand, I was surprised by the popularity of officialdom in Luolu Mountain. The one who showed up was the military general Liu Xunmei, so the one who nodded and agreed to this must be a high-ranking and powerful general. Even if he was not Cao Ping and Su Gaoshan who had been appointed as hunting envoys, he should be the only one below them. Li is a distinguished general.
In fact, not only Liu Chongrun couldn't figure it out, but even Liu Xunmei himself couldn't figure it out. This time he led the team to travel, it was the message personally conveyed by a confidant of General Cao Peng. Among the cavalry, there were also There were two great spies from Lubo Pavilion monitoring the army all the way, looking for signs, not to see if the other three were acting in a disciplined manner, but to see if Liu Xunmei would cause trouble.
This is very confusing. Could it be that the new hunting envoy Cao Ping has great hands and eyes and wants to enrich his own pockets with a certain big boss in Lubo Pavilion? Then General Cao chose to hide behind the scenes and send his confidants to deal with the matter personally? If he is so bold, shouldn't he, Liu Xunmei, be replaced by another loyal general? If Liu Xunmei felt that this matter violated the military laws of Dali, he would definitely report it to the court. Even if he was secretly executed and silenced by Cao Pang, how would he clean up the mess? The Liu family on Chier Street was not a family that Cao Ping could just clean up. The key was that this move broke the rules. Over the past hundred years of civil and military affairs in Dali, regardless of their family style, skills, and temperament, they were accustomed to following the rules in important matters.
Being held accountable by the court, the confidant and beloved general was killed to take the blame? This is not like General Cao's behavior.
But to say that someone is so powerful that he can make Cao Ping obey orders, and make a hunting envoy who is equivalent to the temple's Shangzhu Kingdom personally plan, Liu Xunmei can't believe it, and he will never Is this what the National Master means?
Are you so sneaky for a secret treasure in the mountains and rivers where someone is guiding you?
The Great Li Iron Cavalry went all the way south, and the collected objects on the mountain piled up into a mountain. Thousands of landscape temples were banned and destroyed, all operating in accordance with the established rules of Da Li.
Is this the difference?
Liu Xunmei was full of curiosity.
And I hope I can live to know the answer.
Liu Xunmei and Liu Chongrun walked side by side to discuss the route.
Wei Xian and Lu Baixiang followed closely behind, chatting about the past together.
Lu Baixiang is the one who seems to be the easiest to get along with among the four people in the picture scroll, and he can chat with everyone.
The other three could hardly speak to each other.
Zhu Lian ended up hanging on the tail of the cavalry with Cao Jun for some reason, chatting happily, calling each other brothers, and talking about everything.However, it would be disrespectful for two big men not to talk about women.
No matter what you, Cao Jun, say, the words I, Zhu Lian, answer cannot reach your heart. Even if I, an old cook, am not good at cooking, I don’t know how to read someone’s dish.
Cao Jun's eyes lit up when he said that, and he wanted to leave the army and go to Luopo Mountain to worship.
————
Li Xisheng took the book boy Cui Ci, and after leaving Lion Peak, they returned to a state city in Qinghao Kingdom, a remote small country in Luzhou, Beiju. , but it is not a vassal state of some great power.
In the inner city of Zhoucheng, Li Xisheng bought a small house in a place called Dongxian Street. Opposite there lived a family named Chen. They were well-off and not considered wealthy in the capital. In Gaomen, there was a peer of Li Xisheng, whose name happened to have the character "宝" in it. His name was Chen Baozhou. He was an idle scholar with no imperial examinations. He was good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Li Xisheng often traveled with this person, but they couldn't get around very well. Far.
Li Xisheng came to Beiju Luzhou from Baopingzhou, traveled all the way north, and then stopped here. Through some connections, he got a job in Yizhou Academic Affairs Office. Before going to Qingliang Sect, Li Xisheng had to walk by the "Kaitianwenyun" archway at the entrance of the Yamen Office every day. There were twelve entrances to the Yamen Office, which was not too small.
Master Xuezheng is very fond of Li Xisheng and thinks that this young foreigner has a lot of knowledge. Of course, Master Xuezheng is a well-known civil servant with a clean and elegant style. He can suddenly rise from a Qingshui Yamen to the center of the temple. As the Minister of Etiquette, of course there is some extra "knowledge" here. One time, Li Xisheng and Li Xisheng exchanged cups and drank to drown their sorrows. Li Xisheng gave those "learners" secretly and kept them secretly. .
The next day, Li Xisheng became a subordinate official in the Academic Affairs Office.
Cui Ci felt shocked at first. Why would his famous husband do such a thing? How could a scholar act like this?
Li Xisheng did not explain anything to Cui Ci.
This time when I returned to Zhoucheng, I found that Li Xisheng’s position was no longer available in the Academic Affairs Office. They gave Li Xisheng a random excuse and removed him from his status as a subordinate.
Li Xisheng didn’t care either.
On the way here, Cui Ci asked his husband how long he would stay in Qinghao Country this time. Li Xisheng replied that it would take a long time, at least thirty or forty years.
Cui Ci was a little flustered at first, fearing that it was only after hundreds of years, but when he heard that it was just thirty or forty years later, he was relieved.
After all, he and his husband are no longer ordinary people at the foot of the mountain.
As for Cui Ci himself, when he thinks about his origins, he always has lingering sorrow. But every time he worries about this matter, the young man no longer worries because he has that sorrow.
On this day, Li Xisheng spread out another calligraphy and painting and looked at the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
Cui Ci knew his husband's habit of burning incense early in the morning. In fact, Li Xisheng was not that arty, but Cui Ci liked to do this and didn't stop him.
PaintingOn the scroll, there is an old master sitting and talking about Taoism. The old master is a sage from Yufu Academy. Cui Ci listened attentively for the first few times, but then he really found it boring and boring. , just say one truth, and then turn it over and over again, twisting it around, just telling all kinds of small truths about this big truth. Cui Ci felt very boring. Who would not understand these principles if they had read the book for a few days? Do you need the old master to explain it in such detail?
No wonder his husband later took him to visit Fushui Academy and learned that this old gentleman was laughed at as an old man who was looking for chapters and sentences. He was also regarded as the least talented person in the academy. Sage, later on, the Confucian disciples studying in the academy couldn't bear the issue of teaching, so the old gentleman arranged this job for the academy. He was responsible for the academy's mirror flowers and water moon, and gave lectures to the monks on the mountain. Not only the academy knew that this was just a formality, but also probably even the elder The old man himself knows very well that no one will listen to his nonsense, but he still talks for thirty years. The old man enjoys his leisure time. Sometimes, he will bring a few of his favorite books, notebooks, and copybooks to choose from. A word can be spoken casually according to one's own mood.
Cui Ci was on the street full of book shops near Yufu Academy and heard a lot of old stories about the old man. It was said that the reason why he got the title of sage was because of his good luck. It doesn't matter whether you have great or small knowledge. In the beginning, there were smart people from all walks of life. At first, they became friends in poetry and singing with the gentleman who was not yet old at that time. Scholars from various countries and major local academies warmly invited this person to give lectures and preach. In the end, even the kind of burning stove in the officialdom was no longer interesting. A copybook, calligraphy, fan inscription, couplet, etc. of this person could be easily sold for a thousand taels of silver in the earliest days. Later, it was sold for a few hundred taels of silver, but less than a hundred taels. Nowadays, no one buys it, let alone even 10 taels of silver. People who give it away may not be willing to accept it.
However, Cui Ci discovered that every time his husband listened to this old gentleman’s lectures, he never failed to listen, even when the Qingliang Sect was giving lectures to the nine named disciples of the He Sect Master. I will watch the Flowers in the Mirror of Yufu Academy.
On the scroll, the old master sat in the same position for thirty years, moistened his throat, picked up a book he had just bought, a landscape travelogue, and quickly reported it. After the title of the book, the old master made a clear statement, saying that today he would talk about the sentence in the book: "The small stove in the village is just starting to fire, and the peach and plum trees in the temple are falling." What is so wonderful about it, and why the words "village" and "in the temple" are so flawed. The old man blushed slightly and looked unnatural. He raised the travel book high and held the book in both hands, as if to make the title of the book clearer.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Cui Ci looked helpless, "Sir, is this old master going to starve to death? Why did he help the book shop?" "Business?"
Li Xisheng smiled and said, "This is my first time. I've never done this before. I guess it's a request from an old friend."
Cui Ci lay down at the table. He sighed and said: "A wise man should indeed have an old face when he is in this position.red.
Cui Ci smiled and said, "But it's good that the old master doesn't talk about those empty truths today. Otherwise, I would be sleepy after keeping a stick of incense." "
Li Xisheng listened to the old man in the scroll talking about poetry and asked: "Who said knowledge must be useful to be good knowledge? "
Cui Ci mistakenly thought that he heard wrongly, "Sir? "
Li Xisheng always looked at the scroll, listened to the old gentleman's words, and smiled with Cui Ci: "Cui Ci, let me ask you a small question, one or two and one pound, two portions, how much is it? Heavy? "
Cui Ci became more and more confused. Is this a problem?
Li Xisheng continued: "Who set the rules for the two weights? Who made the scales and weights in the earliest times? In my hand, ten thousand years ago or ten thousand years later, will there be the slightest deviation? If it is even slightly wrong, what impact will it have on the operation of everything in the world? "
Cui Ci thought deeply for a moment and felt a splitting headache.
Li Xisheng said slowly: "Some of the most pure knowledge in the world seems to be very far away from the human world, but it cannot be said. They are of no use anymore. There are always some seemingly useless knowledge, and someone has to do it. If I tell you something, can it help you earn a copper coin? Or the slightest improvement in cultivation? "
Cui Ci shook his head, "Not really. ”
Li Xisheng looked at the old academy scholar in the scroll, feeling a little sad. He closed his eyes, turned his head, and looked at this "inhuman" young man who was just made up of a pile of broken porcelain. , said: "Quenching spiritual energy, turning it into one's own use, reaching the sky step by step, and becoming immortal is the question of cultivation. We Confucians return moral articles and knowledge on paper to the secular world, which is Confucian persuasion. The spring breeze sneaks into the night, moisturizing things silently, which is the state of knowledge. "
Li Xisheng was silent for a moment, looked at the incense curling above the incense burner, and said: "Once you put it away, that day and man will become one, and you will realize immortality. Once released, all the sages and sages have been lonely since ancient times, leaving only articles for thousands of years. True Confucian disciples never only seek immortality. ”
The old gentleman is getting old after all. He feels tired after talking about it. In the past, he could chatter about his schoolwork for an hour for half an hour longer.
Today he is actually tired. After half an hour, he lost the energy and energy to continue talking. The old master looked sad, looked straight into the distance, and said to himself: "I actually know that no one is listening. No one is listening to what I am saying." . "
The old man said softly: "Twenty years ago, when I listened to the Master of the Mountain, every once in a while, there would be an increase in the spiritual energy of Xue Qianqian. Ten years ago, it was very rare. Every time I listen to it, If someone is willing to spend money on my poor knowledge, I will find someone to drink with..."
At this point, the old man forced a smile and grabbed the travel book, "That's it. The old guy who engraved this book and sold it for money, in the blink of an eye, after just a few drinks, he became old. "
"In recent years, I have been unable to rely on this knowledge to help the academy earn a piece of snow money, and I feel guilty about it. ”
The expression of the old manXiao Suo put down the book and suddenly laughed angrily: "Old bastard named Qian, I know you are looking here, are you afraid that I won't help you sell the book?! Put your fucking legs down for me, don't let me go That’s fine. Remember not to finish the food and wine. Just leave some for me to have a few bites when I leave the academy.”
The old man stood up and bowed, “This is a lecture. I humiliated myself for the last time in the academy. It would be better if no one listened, so as not to waste money. It is not easy to cultivate Taoism on the mountain. The knowledge I have been talking about for thirty years is really useless. Look at me, so and so Does he look like a scholar? I don’t think so.”
The old master is going to put away the mirror. He has the title of Academy Sage, but he is not a spiritual person and cannot wave his hand. wind and rain.
At this moment, Li Xisheng from the Qinghao Kingdom gently dropped a grain rain coin, stood up, bowed and saluted, "Li Xisheng, a scholar, has benefited a lot. I would like to thank you sir."
The old man was stunned on the spot for a long time, and his eyes filled with tears. He waved his hands and said: "You deserve it, you deserve it."
Then the old man felt a little embarrassed and mistakenly thought Someone threw a Xiaoshu coin and whispered: "Don't buy that book of landscape travels. It's not cost-effective. It's so expensive. It's not cost-effective at all! No matter how much you have fairy money, you shouldn't squander it like this. In the world, The two things of self-cultivation and family-building may sound big, but in fact we should start with small things..."
Having to talk about big principles again out of habit, the old man suddenly closed his mouth, looked lonely, and laughed at himself: "No more, no more."
Suddenly another person smashed a Grain Rain coin and said loudly: "Liu Jinglong, I have been listening to my teacher's teachings for thirty years. I would like to thank you. This time I leave the customs." , I finally didn’t miss Mr.’s last lecture!”
Not only was the old man struck by lightning, but even Cui Ci couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, it’s from the Taihui Sword Sect! Young swordsman Liu Jinglong?"
Li Xisheng smiled and nodded.
The old gentleman burst into tears, and finally straightened his clothes, straightened his back, and said with a smile: "You must come to me for a drink if you have the opportunity in the future! I am no longer in the academy, but I will never leave him. It’s far away, easy to find, just say you’re looking for Mr. Binding Feet, and you’ll definitely find me. Then I’ll complain about why you didn’t reveal your identity earlier, so that I can look good in the academy.”
Suddenly, a third person didn't spend any money, but a voice echoed, "This lecture is the worst. I'm pretty good at helping people sell books. Why don't you open a bookstore yourself? I, Zhou Mi, would be willing to buy a few books."
The old master lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "Master Zhou Shan?"
The man laughed and said: "Otherwise? In Luzhou, Beiju, who can combine 'I Zhou Mi' three times?" How can you say it so confidently?"
The old gentleman quickly ran away and closed an open book of sages to prevent the three of them from seeing his embarrassment.
As an old scholar, you still have to show some respect.
————
It was the time when the tiger Wei Bo leftOn the occasion of opening Piyun Mountain.
A large convoy of vehicles and families moved out of Huaihuang Town, Longquan County.
It’s not that they don’t have money to go to Niujiao Mountain to take the Xianjia Ferry. It’s because someone didn’t agree. This makes a woman who is in charge of money and power very regretful. She has never been able to take the Xianjia Ferry in her life. Woolen cloth.
There was nothing I could do, her son didn’t nod, and she, as a mother, had no choice but to obey.
In the Ma family on Xinghua Lane, after the old woman died, the old woman’s grandson quickly left the town, and the ancestral home has been empty. However, the old woman’s son and daughter-in-law have long since moved out of Xinghua Lane. In the ancestral home, the Ma family is rich, but they don't show off. Just like Lin Shouyi's father, who works in the Kiln Supervision and Construction Department, he has power but doesn't show it. He gives the impression that he is just a low-ranking subordinate. Two households. People are in a similar situation.
The Ma family moved out of Xinghua Lane back then, but did not purchase properties on Fulu Street and Taoye Lane. Now they have quietly sold the Long Kiln handed down from their ancestors to a sky-high price. The Xu family of Qingfeng City.
Then, under the arrangement of his son, the family moved to the territory of Zhenwu Mountain, one of the ancestral homes of the military family. From now on, generations will take root there. The woman is actually not willing, as her husband They were not very interested either. The couple wanted to settle down in Dali Capital City. Unfortunately, their son said that as parents, they had no choice but to do it. After all, their son was no longer the silly boy from Xinghua Lane. It was Ma Kuxuan, the most outstanding Taoist genius in Aquarius Continent now. Even the Jindan Sword Cultivator of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, who was famous for being good at fighting, had killed two of them for their son.
The woman lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a young woman riding outside. She was an incredibly beautiful young woman. She was now her son's maid, and his son gave her the name "Shu Dian".
The woman found it a bit amusing. Only this incident made her feel that her son was still the same stupid son as before.
I am angry with others.
In the early years, Song Jixin, who was rumored to be the illegitimate son of the supervisor in Mubo Alley, had a maid named Zhigui beside him.
According to what my mother-in-law said when she was still alive, my son actually always liked that Zhigui.
The woman riding her horse slowly beside the carriage noticed the woman's gaze and planned not to see it at first.
But the young man riding at the front of the cavalry turned his head and looked at him with cold eyes.
She was so frightened that she shivered, immediately turned her head to look at the car curtain, and asked softly: "Madam, do you need to stop and take a rest?"
The woman smiled and shook her head, slowly. Slowly lower the curtain.
The young woman named Shudian glanced at the back of the young man riding in front of her. She felt miserable in her heart, but she did not dare to show it at all.
Back then, she entered the Lizhu Cave with her mother and son of the Xu family in Qingfeng City and the mountain-moving monkeys from Zhengyang Mountain. Everyone came here for the opportunity, but in the end, she turned out to be the most miserable one. It was a blessing. She didn't get it, but she also caused a huge disaster, a real disaster of annihilation. Her grandfather, the master of the Tide Cavalry, was destroyed by the unstoppable Da Li soldiers and horses.After that, he had already followed the trend and lost his military power, but retained an official position in the court, and then was able to retire and return to his hometown, but this young man appeared.
When he returned to his hometown, more than a hundred people, including the escorts dispatched by the imperial court and his grandfather's personal military retinue, were all dead, with corpses everywhere.
She knelt down with the old man.
Ma Kuxuan stood between the two people kneeling on the ground, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the two heads, saying that if the two heads are not paid back, even if the entire Tide Cavalry is dead, the debt will not be paid back. superior.
Ma Kuxuan asked the old man what he should do.
The old man began to kowtow, begging Ma Kuxuan to let go of his granddaughter and just take his life.
After a lifetime of military service and numerous military exploits, he never expected that he would end up like this. The woman knelt down beside her.
Ma Kuxuan pressed down with one palm, leaving a horribly limp corpse on the ground.
In the end, Ma Kuxuan did not kill her, but kept her by his side, and rewarded her with a Shudian name without a surname.
The lost Shudian finally followed Ma Kuxuan to Longquan County.
The young man who killed many people along the way, after returning to his hometown, the first place he went was not Xinghua Lane, let alone his parents’ residence, but walking along the bank of Longxu River. At the mouth of the waterfall at the junction of the Longxu River and the Tiefu River, Shudian saw the appearance of a god holding a sword. He was the first-class water god of Dali, named Yang Hua.
Ma Kuxuan was squatting at the boundary of the river, gently throwing stones into the water, and smiled at the extremely high-status Dali spirit: "I know you are the maid of the Queen Mother. As for me, I am just the grandson of the River God under your command. Logically speaking, I should be somewhat respectful to you. But I heard that you are not very polite to my grandma, so you should be careful. In this world, whether you are a cultivator or a Gods and ghosts must repay any debts they owe. When I return here next time to visit grandma, if you still haven't paid off your debt and dare to boss around this dragon-bearded river, then I will detain your golden body to On Zhenwu Mountain, you are tempered every day. I will feed you as much incense essence as you crush, and I want you to pay it back for a thousand years. Even if I, Ma Kuxuan, die, as long as Zhenwu Mountain is still there, you will have to suffer for a thousand years. If you lose even one day, I, Ma Kuxuan, will lose."
Water God Yang Hua sneered.
Ma Kuxuan said again, "Since you can become the Lord of the River, you are not afraid of hardship. It doesn't matter. You are a woman after all, and your human nature is not there. Some qualities are difficult to get rid of. I will do it every time." Every few years, capture some obscene gods or mountain monsters, go to Zhenwu Mountain, and teach them a Shinto secret technique that has long been lost, so that they can be blessed in disguise and let you know what it means to pay debts with money. "< /p>
Ma Kuxuan finally said: "I am telling you this because I hope you will not imitate some people and be so stupid as to think that many small things are just trivial matters. Otherwise, I, Ma Kuxuan, will break through too quickly and you will have to pay off your debt." It will be soon."
The Iron Talisman River Water God was speechless and just smiled sarcastically.
Ma Kuxuan tilted his head, "You don't believe it, right?"
Ma Kuxuan smiled and said: "Then just wait. I have changed my mind now, and it will happen soon. One day, I will ask the Empress Dowager to personally issue a decree and hand it over to you, asking you to go to the territory of Zhenwu Mountain and serve as the water god of the river. At that time, I will visit you again. I hope that the water god empress can entertain you kindly. I will return the favor and invite you. Go to the mountain as a guest."
Yang Hua looked solemn.
Ma Kuxuan shook his head, "Sorry, it's late."
Yang Hua narrowed her eyes.
A Zhenwu Mountain protector appeared behind Ma Kuxuan and smiled slightly, "Water Goddess, killing someone without authorization is against the rules."
Yang Hua sneered: "Ma Kuxuan is already the mountain master of your Zhenwu Mountain?"
The military monk shook his head and smiled: "Of course not. It's just that Ma Kuxuan's words seem to be more effective than our mountain master. Some, I have been dissatisfied for a long time, and I have no choice but to do anything."
Yang Hua noticed that the monk winked at Qing Qing.
Yang Hua sighed and said to Ma Kuxuan: "Ma Lanhua will soon have his own river god temple."
Ma Lanhua, the mother of Longxu River, came from After He Po was promoted to River God, she was unable to build a temple.
If the Golden Mouth of the Tiefu River Water God is opened and it is reasonable to build an incense temple, neither the local government of Longzhou nor the Ministry of Rites of the Dali Court will be embarrassed.
Ma Kuxuan stood up and clapped his hands, "Okay, then I, Ma Kuxuan, will also regret it. From now on, the Water Goddess Empress will be my honored guest, Ma Kuxuan."
After that, the slender Ma Kuxuan, dressed in black and with a white jade belt, looked like a handsome young man from a wealthy family who was out touring the mountains and rivers. He walked by the Longxu River. When he no longer concealed his energy, he deliberately leaked it. After breathing out his breath, not far out, water plants appeared in the river, swaying in the river, as if they were spying on the movement on the shore.
As if she did not dare to recognize Ma Kuxuan, the woman whose appearance was no longer old and senile, after sticking her head out of the river, she looked at the young man on the bank. The river water god will not shed tears. The woman wiped her face subconsciously.
That was the first time that the maid "Shu Dian" saw the young demon Ma Kuxuan and she smiled brightly. She also discovered that such a hard-hearted bad guy could also shed tears.
Ma Kuxuan was sitting by the river that day, sitting side by side with her. The woman gently held Ma Kuxuan's hand and kept murmuring.
Ma Kuxuan just sat there, not speaking for a long time, with a somewhat unfamiliar face, but it was the most familiar nagging in his life.
Grandma said a lot of things about the parents and scolded a lot of people, but in the end she told him not to worry about anything.
She finally asked her grandson to wait for a while, then went to the shabby mansion in the water, moved all the accumulated belongings back, placed them neatly around the two of them, told them about their origins one by one, and finally wanted to Ma Kuxuan took them all away, saying that these were the wives she had saved for her grandson.Ben, I just don’t know if I have found a girl I have fallen in love with in recent years. Anyway, that Zhigui is a naturally charming girl. She is really not a woman that can be married into the family. Apart from her, she will accept any woman as her granddaughter-in-law.
Ma Kuxuan said it was Zhigui.
The woman habitually stretched out her finger and gently poked her grandson on the forehead, scolding him for being obsessed with things and not knowing at all. He was a fool who didn't care about his father or mother, and he deserved to suffer a lot.
In the end, the woman started to cry as she talked, saying that she had to suffer a lot in order to become this river woman. If she hadn’t thought about having a grandson like him, she would have no one to take care of her. She really couldn't get through it.
Ma Kuxuan took a deep breath and wiped his face with his hand.
The woman asked Ma Kuxuan to promise her something. Ma Kuxuan said that she didn’t have to be afraid of this. If she really wanted to follow the clues and find the Ma family in Xinghua Lane, that Chen Ping’an would dare to kill someone. People, he will kill the two people he cares about most, Chen Pingan, no matter how many. The woman just shook her head and insisted that Ma Kuxuan agree to her, crying and saying that they are your parents, how could they settle accounts like this.
Ma Kuxuan was silent.
In the end, the woman used her trump card and said that if he didn't agree, she would have no grandchildren in the future.
Ma Kuxuan had no choice but to agree first. Deep down in his heart, he actually had his own concerns. So after the separation, Ma Kuxuan still did not go to his parents. Instead, he went to Yang’s shop and learned that he Grandma had to stay behind Longxu River, and there was no need to discuss this matter. Ma Kuxuan had to change his mind and asked his parents to sell the ancestral dragon kiln at a high price, and the family left Longquan County. Finally, we took this slow trip away from home.
During this trip, Shudian discovered something strange.
For some reason, it seems that Ma Kuxuan has a normal relationship with his parents. It’s not like they are alienated like immortals. It’s like they haven’t had any feelings since they were young. After going to the mountains to practice Taoism, the two sides became more and more distant. The couple seemed to have been immersed in great joy. Regarding Guangzong Yaozu's son, he was almost silent without a smile. The couple didn't think there was anything wrong at all, as if it was only natural that their son was so superior. matter.
The couple, the man in ordinary gentry attire, exudes the ability of a wealthy gentry, and the woman has a pair of peach blossom eyes, but her beauty is not outstanding. There was a smile on his face, but there was still a hint of coldness.
Along the way, some blind and unlucky people and spirits died.
Ma Kuxuan seemed to have deliberately chosen those mountains and rivers where there were roads but poor mountains and rivers, and he wanted to kill the bandits and spirits in order to relieve his worries.
During this period, her master monk came to save her for the second time.
The first time was when the Patriarch brought people to confront Ma Kuxuan in person, but Ma Kuxuan killed dozens of people with his own hands, crushing them like ants in front of her.
Before Ma Kuxuan took action, he asked her to make a second choice.Either they live or the person who saved them dies.
If she gets the answer wrong, she will die.
Shu Dian got the answer right. So those people died.
This time, a fellow disciple who was expected to become her Taoist companion on the mountain came with his mountain friends to save her from the dire straits.
Ma Kuxuan asked her to make a choice again, whether to be the desperate mandarin duck or to live alone.
Shu Dian still has to live.
So the senior brother she had always thought she loved deeply, and several of his friends, were all dead again, without any suspense.
It was raining heavily and it was muddy. Shudian had completely collapsed. He sat on the ground and loudly asked why he asked for death the first time. Ma Kuxuan refused to agree. After that, he did it twice. wish.
Ma Kuxuan, who was wearing a long gown that was not stained by any rain at that time, smiled at her and said: "I want you to live a life worse than death. If there is anything you don't understand, your incomprehension is just like a fairy. When will you understand the reason why you have to sit in the mud and moan pitifully today, you will be able to live a relaxed and comfortable life, and all the things in the past are not worth mentioning."
Ma Kuxuan grabbed her head. He threw her on the horse and said, "If you are a slave, if you are disrespectful again, you will have your tongue cut off. If you don't do it again, you will never do it again."
The convoy continued on its way in the rain.
In late spring, the sun is warm.
Ma Kuxuan was at the front of the cavalry, sitting on his horse, swaying, silently calculating in his mind how many upper-level monks there were in Aquarius Continent who were squatting in manholes and not shitting.
Not counting the Grand Master of Great Li and Cui Chan, the embroidered tiger, this old gentleman is indeed the one who does great things.
Having been hiding in the Great Li capital for many years, the giant of the Mohist branch managed to survive the death of a monk from the Lu family of the Yin-Yang family, which was considered a skill.
Ma Kuxuan has seen those twelve mountain ferries with his own eyes. He looked up and saw that the sky and the sun were blocked. The human territory with a radius of hundreds of miles under the ferries seemed to be stuck in the middle of the night. This is the Big World. The fundamental reason why Li Tieqi can quickly go south is that the construction of each huge ferry is equivalent to cutting off a large piece of flesh from the Da Li court and the Emperor Song. Not only that, the Da Li Song family also owes the Mohist family the land. A large amount of foreign debt was owed to China's big bosses such as the main line and merchants. The Li cavalry scraped the ground three feet on the way south to repay the debt secretly. As for when the debt can be paid off, it is hard to say.
The Mohist ranger named Xu Ruo should not be underestimated.
Xie Shi, the Heavenly Lord of Beiju Luzhou, has already left for Beijulu. There is no point in staying in Aquarius Continent. Moreover, I heard that this Heavenly Lord is suspected of having a fire in the backyard and will not return to Beijulu. Zhou, will make a joke.
The rest seem to be dispensable existences. After death, the spiritual energy returns to the world. When alive, they are just mountain thieves who know some magic skills, and misers who eat without spitting them out.
Qi Zhen, the Heavenly Lord of the Shen Gao Sect, could not even keep a disciple of the sect like He Xiaoliang who was blessed with such good fortune, so he broke her limbs and left her in the Shen Gao Sect, treating her like a cornucopia. Okay?
Moved from Jade GuizongThe lower sect Zhenjing Sect, after annexing Shujian Lake in one go, is in the spotlight. However, Jiang Shangzhen is very good at life, and the dignified sect leader is actually willing to do it with his tail between his legs. Any conflicts between the disciples of the sect and the outside world will be ignored at all, regardless of the reason. It was my own fault, and the family at the Zushi Hall took care of him. He helped the enemy sects several times and took the initiative to kill him, thus avoiding a lot of troubles and hidden dangers.
Liu Laocheng, a wild cultivator from Gongliu Island, is at the Jade Pu Realm, and Liu Zhimao, the True Lord of Jiejiang, has also broken through, becoming the second wild cultivator to reach the upper five realms. Of course, they are now regarded as genealogy masters of the Zhenjing Sect. .
The childish-looking old patriarch of Fengxue Temple has not left the mountain for hundreds of years, but he showed up once during the fight between Zhengyang Mountain and Fenglei Garden.
A certain female monk on the other side of Zhenwu Mountain is even more silent than the ancestor of Fengxue Temple, who is also the ancestral home of the Aquarius Continent military family. However, many disciples have always been very active in the Dali frontier army. active.
The head of the Yunlin Jiang family has been hiding behind the scenes.
The first deity in the history of Aquarius Continent to reach the upper five realms is Wei Bo from Piyun Mountain.
The fifth-level sword cultivator from the Zhu Ying Dynasty who has not shown up yet, did not know whether he died in seclusion or chose to continue to endure.
As for the storyteller from the Sui Dynasty, he is now a prisoner in Piyun Mountain, guarding a prince of the Gao family. It is not that Ma Kuxuan looks down on this old guy, except for a Jade Pu realm. , what's left?
Finally, Ma Kuxuan thought of the mud-legged man in Mud Bottle Lane.
Ma Kuxuan opened his eyes on the horse, intertwined his fingers, and pressed down gently. He felt a little funny. He left the town, as if all the peers he met were trash, but his hometown This guy is a real opponent who can interest him.
I don’t know if I need to fight with all my strength next time.
Probably still not used.
This is a bit boring.
Ma Kuxuan closed his eyes again and began to think about the proud son of the Middle-earth Divine Continent.
As for the maid behind her, one day, she will sadly realize that, without realizing it, she has no desire for revenge. Instead, one day, she will truly feel that staying by Ma Kuxuan's side is the only one in the world. of stability.
At that moment, it was time for her to die.
Ma Kuxuan will also leave behind part of her soul and memory. With some lost secret techniques that even the ancestors of Zhenwu Mountain cannot master, he can follow those clues to find her reincarnation. The time has come. , just give her the memory, so that she will never be able to escape from life to life, reincarnated as a human again and again, and life will be worse than death.
As long as Chen Pingan dares to take revenge, he will only be worse off than her.
But before Chen Pingan seeks revenge, Ma Kuxuan will not do anything more. After all, it was their Ma family who was at fault.
No matter how ruthless Ma Kuxuan was, he would not kill irrelevant people indiscriminately, but there were many people in the world who wanted to die. By chance, he Ma Kuxuan was offended, so he just helped him get away.
————
On Luolu Mountain, early in the morning, Pei Qian had prepared all her belongings, large and small, and she was about to go on a long trip!
Because the old man told her yesterday, "Put the small bamboo box on your back and your hiking poles. Go to your hometown and go on a study tour together. Don't worry, just think of it as just relaxing with me and practicing boxing." Let’s talk about it later.”
Pei Qian had just yelled, “Old Cui, have you had enough to eat today?” Then he pushed open the bamboo door on the second floor, determined to have another meal.
Anyway, if you don’t say one or two heroic words, you will be beaten, so you might as well take advantage of it and just think that you have earned a few copper coins in vain.
As a result, the old man, who was wearing a green shirt and no bare feet, said this.
Pei Qian was still a little uncomfortable, and then he replied, "The old cook is gone, but there is still Nuanshu girl on the mountain to take care of our food. Besides, I don't have anything at the dinner table either." Can I grab your bowl?"
Cui Cheng almost couldn't help but punch this girl hard again.
In recent days, Cui Cheng has often appeared and served meals.
Cui Cheng only said one sentence, "Go downstairs and cool off."
Pei Qian's eyes turned rapidly, and he hesitated for a long time before he walked out of the bamboo swagger. Building, standing in the corridor, hands on hips, shouted: "Zhou Mili!"
The little girl in black sitting on the stairs on the first floor immediately ran to the open space and asked: "Today Why didn't you hear the roar?"
Pei Qian raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms across his chest, and sneered: "What do you think? After entering the second floor, there is no winner. Do you think I can? Come out?"
Zhou Mili frowned, thinking hard about the problem, and finally asked: "Did we put laxatives in that bowl of rice? Why didn't I know about this in advance? Leave it to Nuan Shu, I am the right protector of Luo Luo Shan, so I am the right one to do it..."
Pei Qian jumped off the second floor and landed next to Zhou Mi Li. With a twist of the idiot's head and wrist, Zhou Mili began to spin in place.
In the end, Zhou Mili found it interesting and started running in place.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Pei Qian stretched out his fingers and shouted softly: "Stop!"
Zhou Mili immediately stood still. , I haven’t forgotten to stare wide-eyed and motionless.
Pei Qian put his fingers up in front of him, made a gesture with his other hand to sink the Dantian, nodded and said: "My Immortal Body Holding Technique is indeed amazing, even the one from Mute Lake Even the big water monster can't escape."
Zhou Mili still didn't dare to move, his eyes were bright.
Pei Qian was quite satisfied and threw his fingers at her, "Move!"
Zhou Mili clapped her hands quickly and said happily: "It's amazing, I really couldn't move just now. "
On this day, Pei Qian and Zhou Mili went to play with Chen Ruchu again. The three girls gathered together and chattered, just like the countless peach blossoms in the mountains, with orioles on the flowers.
Then the day passed by in a flash.
This morning, not only Chen Ruchu and Zhou Mili arrived, but also Zheng Dafeng, and Chen Lingjun.
Zheng Dafeng’s face was expressionless.
No wonder Zheng Dafeng can’t stop him.
Chen Lingjun glanced at the old man Cui Cheng, then stopped looking and walked to the cliffside to be alone.
Cui Cheng said to Zheng Dafeng: "Tell Zhu Lian not to use half of the martial arts. It's very good."
Zheng Dafeng held a tung leaf umbrella and said with a playful smile: "Old man If the cook doesn't want it, just give it to me."
Cui Cheng kicked him, but Zheng Dafeng could easily avoid it even with his staggering steps.
Pei Qian showed off the long-lost swords and swords on his waist, including bamboo knives and bamboo swords.
There are also people holding hiking poles and carrying small bamboo boxes.
The old man is also wearing a Confucian shirt today.
It’s not that Pei Qian has never seen the old man dressed like this before, it’s just that he feels it’s particularly strange today.
Cui Cheng smiled and said: "I don't know, I am also a scholar. I was quite knowledgeable in my early years. I am one of the most scholarly scholars in Aquarius Continent."
Pei Qian Said: "Did you count it yourself?"
Cui Cheng smiled and said: "Oh?"
Pei Qian immediately said loudly: "Probably not! It is definitely on Aoping Island Mountain This is a fact recognized by everyone under the mountain."
Zheng Dafeng sighed in his heart, "The location has been chosen, and according to the wishes of the seniors, we will start from a remote mountain in the west of Nanyuan Kingdom."
Cui Cheng nodded, turned to look at Pei Qian, "Are you ready?"
Pei Qian nodded vigorously, clenched the hiking pole in his hand, and said with a trembling voice: "Something is ready!"
In the end, the old man and the young child seemed to be flying through the clouds and landed on the top of an inaccessible mountain.
Pei Qian's face turned pale.
Cui Cheng chuckled and said, "When you finish this journey, you won't be so scared anymore. Trust me."
Pei Qian stabbed the hiking stick in his hand hard on the ground. He sneered and said: "I'm afraid of a hammer!"
Cui Cheng looked into the distance and said: "Then please put away the talismans in your sleeves."
Pei Qian had one sleeve lightly Shake, pretending not to hear anything.
The two of them hiked down the mountain together.
Pei Qian was a little uneasy at first, but as she was used to walking on mountain roads, as she walked, she felt that there was really nothing to be afraid of, at least for the time being.
It is still far away from the capital city of Nanyuan Kingdom. Now, what is under our feet is just the barbarian land that used to be the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, and it is not the real territory of Nanyuan Kingdom.
In the evening, Pei Qian was already familiar with cooking a small pot of fish soup and rice.
There was a river at the foot of the mountain. Pei Qian cut a bamboo pole himself, tied it with a fishing line and hook, then threw the pole into the water and squatted quietly by the river. The fish completely bit the hook, and suddenly Pull it up and go ashore.
Cui Cheng looked at the thick fish at that timeI have a headache just because I have a pole. Can this be called fishing or fishing, right?
But when he was drinking fish soup from a big bowl, the old man sitting cross-legged didn't care about it. It was a bit salty. When the black girl asked him how it tasted, the old man said it was okay without conscience.
Pei Qian gave himself a spoon of fish soup to eat with rice. It was delicious. With fish soup, the thief would eat!
Pei Qian squatted on the ground and swayed his shoulders. The little girl was very happy.
The old man is too lazy to say that sitting has the appearance of sitting, and eating has the appearance of eating.
He is not Chen Pingan.
If Chen Pingan dares to talk about these trivial matters in the future, the old man feels that he may not be able to help but reprimand him. What's so great about being a master? Taking care of things, Pei Yatou's character, in fact, How old are you...
Just thinking about this, the old man laughed at himself and whispered to Pei Qian: "Eat slowly, no one will fight with you."
Pei Qian! He made a sound and began to chew slowly.
After putting away the bowls, chopsticks and pottery pots for cooking soup, Pei Qian took out the kettle, washed the handle, and then took out pens, pens, paper and ink from the small bamboo box where various objects were sorted and neatly arranged one by one. , using the small bamboo box as a writing desk, began to copy the book seriously.
Cui Cheng sat aside and said with a smile: "When you get here, you don't have to copy the book. If Master blames you later, just say I agreed."
Pei Qian copied meticulously. After finishing a sentence, he turned around and glared: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Cui Cheng waved his hand.
After Pei Qian finished copying the book, it was already dark, so she carefully put away all the items.
In fact, for Pei Qian today, seeing at night is as simple as drinking water and eating.
Seeing that old man Cui was taking a nap, Pei Qian held a hiking stick and tiptoed to the far side of the mountain to practice his crazy swordsmanship.
Cui Cheng smiled and asked: "Since it's swordsmanship, why don't you use the bamboo sword on your waist?"
Pei Qian stopped his swordsmanship and replied loudly: " Just follow the example of Master, Master won’t use the sword easily, you don’t understand. Of course I don’t understand either, just follow it.”
Cui Cheng asked: “What if your Master is wrong?”
Pei Qian continued to practice this set of crazy swordsmanship, whistling like the wind, so that her words seemed a bit intermittent in the ears of ordinary warriors. Fortunately, Cui Cheng heard clearly and heard clearly. "Master is here with me. How can I teach the wrong disciple? It won't be wrong. It will never happen in this life. Anyway, if it is wrong, I think it is right. None of you can control it."
Cui Cheng He smiled, stopped talking, and began to close his eyes and rest.
At around midnight, Cui Cheng woke up Pei Qian, and Pei Qian rubbed his eyes without complaining.
Traveling day and night, traveling through mountains and rivers, what’s so strange about it.
When going down the mountain, Pei Qian was carrying an unusual fishing rod on his back.
Cui Cheng asked: "Aren't you tired?"
Pei Qian seemed to be waiting for this sentence and said pitifully: "I'm tired."
Cui Cheng said: "Don't think about me carrying the fishing rod for you, I can't afford to be embarrassed."
Pei Qian lamented and asked Cui Cheng waited for a moment, took off the fishing line, put it away together with the hook, and put it back into a small package in the bamboo box. After putting the bamboo box on his back again, he grabbed the fishing rod and shouted softly: "Let's go." !”
The fishing rod was nailed into a big tree in the distance.
For the morning and evening meals of the next day, I still cooked fish soup and rice because I was walking along the big river.
Cui Cheng sipped the fish soup and said, "If we walk along the river, will we eat this every day?"
Pei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Just eat whatever you have. "I'm satisfied, why bother?"
Pei Qian finally hummed: "You don't know, when I traveled around the world with Master, it was just me and Master, there was no old cook. What did they do? It was hard work at that time. Master was testing me at that time, and he had not officially accepted me as the founding disciple. Master was very good at fishing, but I was not good at it. One time I was really hungry and panicked. You didn’t ask me to come over to eat. What do you think I came up with?”
Cui Cheng smiled and said, “Can Chen Pingan give you a bite of food?”
Pei? Qian sneered and said: "Shit, I went to a river with turbid water. The water is not deep. Come to my waist. With a plop, I plunged in with a sudden force. Then I stretched out my arm and dug in the gap between the stones. I poked inside, and as soon as I stirred it up, I caught a big fish. It was a big catfish about as long as my arm. It was fierce and would not let go when it bit people. I quickly surfaced, ran ashore, and swung it. I shook my arm hard several times before smashing the big catfish to the ground."
Pei Qian said with some pride, "Master was dumbfounded and gave me a thumbs up. Full of praise!"
Cui Cheng said with a smile: "It's a lot of nonsense."
Pei Qian immediately relaxed his shoulders, "Well, Master really didn't give a thumbs up. She didn’t say anything nice about me, she just glanced at me.”
In fact, that time, the Heitan girl was so angry that she hid her injured arm behind her back and glared at Chen Pingan.
At this moment, Pei Qian quickly swore to the old man: "I really caught that big catfish..."
At this point, I was worried. Cui Cheng didn't believe it. Pei Qianma Liu'er rolled up his sleeves, but he was very annoyed and sighed, "I forgot that the mark was gone a long time ago."
Pei Qian soon smiled, " Fortunately, my master grabbed a handful of herbs, smashed them in front of me, and applied them on my arms. It didn’t hurt at all. Do you think it’s strange or not? Don’t you understand?”
Cui Cheng smiled and nodded.
After that.
Pei Qian still copies books every day and practices the crazy sword technique from time to time.
Cui Cheng just walked slowly with Pei Qian.
Watching Pei Qian beating water with stones that day, the old man asked casually: "Pei Yatou, what are you doing in your life?"What's the saddest thing you've ever heard? "
Pei Qian deliberately didn't hear.
The old man asked again.
Pei Qian squatted by the water and said slowly: "Just twice Well, once I was at the border inn of Daquan Dynasty in Tongyezhou. Master actually didn’t say anything, but he just looked at me, which made me sad. "
"Later, there was a sentence said by the big white goose. He asked me if I would only practice boxing after my master died. It’s also sad and keeps people awake. ”
Cui Cheng said nothing more.
Pei Qian, who seemed to be carefree soon, had already picked two unknown grasses by the river and was minding his own business. Playing with the grass that is the favorite of children in the countryside
The mountains and rivers are far away, and they gradually reach the place where there are people.
Cui Cheng still takes Pei Qian to the scenic spot. , on a cliff, the old man put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "What a iron flower embroidered rock wall, murderous and quiet. "
Pei Qian hummed and nodded slightly, as if he understood completely.
Cui Cheng turned around and smiled: "I am used to walking through mountains and rivers with my feet on the ground. Come down and let's go for a real hike over the mountains? Do you dare? "
Pei Qian put a talisman on his forehead and said boldly: "People in the world, only can't, but don't dare! ”
Cui Cheng did not ride the wind and swim far away, but climbed up the wall, followed by Pei Qian who followed the same pattern.
When he reached the top of the mountain, he was separated from the green mountains in the distance. At least ten miles away
Cui Cheng smiled and said: "Hold on to the hiking pole and the bamboo box. ”
Before Pei Qian could ask anything, the old man grabbed his shoulder and shouted with a smile, “Let’s go!” "
Pei Qian, who was like a fairy on the mountain controlling the clouds and mist, was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold at first, but he soon got used to it. With a whoosh, he started to play with the dog paddle. Looking down, he saw the mountains and rivers winding under his feet. .
There is nothing to be afraid of.
When he was about to hit the green mountain on the opposite side, Pei Qian adjusted his breathing slightly, stretched his body in the air, changed his posture, and changed his trajectory slightly. , stepped on a towering tree with her feet, her knees bent instantly, and she curled up. The whole tree was broken by her step. When the broken tree hit the ground, Cui Qian touched the ground lightly with her toes. Cheng was already standing beside her and said: "Climb to the top earlier than anyone else. "
Pei Qian ran like a wisp of smoke. Cui Cheng just kept a distance of five or six feet from Pei Qian, so he could see and couldn't catch up.
Yi Lao After a while, the mountain road that followed was a straight line. When there was no way to go, Cui Cheng threw out Pei Qian.
In the end, Pei Qian could even be seen in the clouds. Show off that crazy swordsmanship.
One day when the moon and stars were dim, they landed at the foot of a famous mountain in the Nanyuan Kingdom.
Pei Qian blinked. He was eager to try: "Throw me up? "
Cui Cheng smiled and said: "It's time to walk. Scholars should respect the mountains. ”
Pei Qian nodded, "That's right."
The mountainous land of Nanyuan Kingdom naturally has no truly miraculous people in the past history. As for the legendary deeds in the official history, there may be no less. .
But it’s hard to say now.
Cui Cheng took Pei Qian to climb the mountain. As they walked on the steps, Pei Qian leaned on the small bamboo box and tapped the steps lightly with his hiking pole. He smiled and said: "It is somewhat similar to the steps of our Luolu Mountain. Well."
Cui Cheng said: "Every scenery in the world is similar if you don't look carefully."
Pei Qian nodded and decided to keep this sentence in mind for the future. Take it out and show it off so that you can fool that little fool Zhou Mili.
Cui Cheng climbed the mountain slowly, looked around, and recited a poem, "Thousands of mountains are covered with scales, thousands of valleys are filled with pines and waves, and strange things have shocked a centenarian."
Pei Qian nodded and said: "What a poem!"
Cui Cheng smiled and said: "Do you understand?"
Pei Qian grinned and said, "I said it for the master."
Cui Cheng laughed heartily.
At the top of the mountain, there was a Taoist temple with a closed door. Cui Cheng did not knock on the door, but just took Pei Qian for a walk and looked at some inscriptions and cliff carvings. Cui Cheng looked into the distance and said with emotion: "The sages once said that the fate of a person lies in his vitality, and the fate of a country lies in his heart. Such words are sincere, such words are sincere..." Pei Qian turned to look at the old man, and finally remembered what the old man had said about him. Is a scholar.
It was rare for the two of them to hike down the mountain. As they went further down, there were rural picnics, markets and towns, and post roads and official roads.
I met a lot of people along the way, from all walks of life, and most of them passed by each other without incident.
The two of them were at a roadside tea stall that day, and Pei Qian paid for two large bowls of herbal tea.
Pei Qian made himself a bamboo hat.
With a sword on his waist, a small bamboo box on his back, a bamboo hat on his head, and a walking stick placed sideways by the table, he looked very funny.
Pei Qian was a little flustered when a group of wealthy businessmen came to the next table. Pei Qian, who was sitting opposite the old man's table, quietly sat on the bench to the side of the old man.
Quickly taking a look at the real people in the world, Pei Qian lowered his voice and asked the old man: "Do you know what things are necessary to travel in the world?"
Cui Qian lowered his voice and asked the old man: Cheng smiled and said: "Tell me about it."
Pei Qian said softly: "A big bag of gold leaves, a tall horse, a sword that can cut iron like mud, and a famous nickname in the world. , Master said that if you have these, you will be successful wherever you go."
Pei Qian suddenly felt a little happy, "I don't want any high-ranking people in the future. Master promised me that when I go to the world, You will definitely buy me a little donkey."
Cui Cheng nodded with a smile.
The Jianghu people with swords on their waists were sitting next door. One of them did not sit down immediately, stretched out his hand to press the little girl's bamboo hat, and laughed loudly: "Where did the little black tan escape from? She is also a little heroine, wearing a sword, so majestic."
The man reached out and pressed Pei Qian's head hard, "Tell me, who did you learn this from?"
Cui Cheng just drank tea.
Pei Qian's face was pale and he said nothing. He slowly raised his head and said timidly: "I learned from my master."
The Jianghu man took a step back with a smile and raised his feet. He kicked the green bamboo box of the girl wearing a bamboo hat and said, "How can you walk around the world and carry a tattered bookcase?"
Pei Qiangang wanted to ask Cui Cheng for help, but the old man smiled and said: " Solve it yourself."
Pei Qian wiped the sweat from his face. When he saw that the man was trying harder and kicked the bamboo box behind him, Pei Qian stood up and moved away subconsciously. He reached out and grabbed the hiking pole in his hand.
The man stepped on the air and just felt that he had lost face. He was a little embarrassed and became angry. When he saw the scene of the little black charcoal taking the object from the air again, he began to sweat on his forehead, and his somewhat unkind face changed. He tried his best to put on a friendly expression, then bowed his head, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "You have admitted the wrong person, you have admitted the wrong person."
Pei Qian thought for a while, then sat back down.
Cui Cheng asked with a smile: "Are you afraid to fight back?"
Pei Qian shook his head and said gloomily: "At first, I was a little afraid that he would break the bamboo box, but just now After seeing his kick, I became even more afraid that I would punch him in the chest accidentally."
Cui Cheng asked again: "Why are you afraid of this? Should the other party be afraid of you? "
Pei Qian still shook his head, "Master said that walking in the world is not only about grudges, but also about being able to hold back your fists when encountering small things. A person who practices martial arts is very capable."
Cui Cheng smiled.
I don’t know whether he was laughing at the little girl’s big words or the small town saying of “coming to the door”.
Cui Cheng finished the tea in the bowl and said: "You only have a few pennies in your possessions. If you lose a copper coin, of course you will be heartbroken. When you have a lot of fairy money, you will lose it again." A few cents each..."
Pei Qian said firmly: "I still have to look for it all over the place!"
Just kidding, there is no reason to not get the money back.
Master said that every copper coin that belongs to one’s money bag, if lost, is that poor little homeless person.
When Pei Qian saw that the old man was silent, he said strangely: "In other words, I will listen."
Cui Cheng laughed and said: "The old man also has the same old saying. When there is no reason."
Pei Qian was a little disappointed, "Think about it again?"
Cui Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't want to."
Next door. The people at the table didn't drink any tea, so they mounted their horses and drove away.
It seems there is a real emergency.
Cui Cheng took Pei Qian and continued on his way, looking into the distance and smiling: "Catch up and say something to them, anything."
Pei Qian Qian was a little hesitant.
Cui Cheng waved his hand.
Pei Qian took a deep breath and helpedHe picked up his bamboo hat and began to run away, and then carefully thought about what he should say to appear reasonable and polite. After a while, Pei Qian, who was running faster than the horse, had already caught up with the man and the horse.
She gradually slowed down her pace, raised her head and said to the man on horseback who looked like he was mourning for his heir: "When traveling in the world, you must be moral!"
Seeing that the man looked stupid.
Pei Qian emphasized his tone and asked loudly: "Do you remember?"
The man trembled: "Remember!"
Not only He, and even his other friends in the world couldn't help but answer.
After Pei Qian got the answer, he stopped suddenly and waited for the old man behind him to catch up with him.
After that, Pei Qian and the old man walked through the high city of Zhoucheng.
Pei Qian burned incense in various Taoist temples, sold all kinds of delicious food in the market, visited bookstores in his hometown, and bought books for Sister Baoping and Li Huai. Of course, he was down and out. Friends on the mountain also prepared gifts from their own pockets. Unfortunately, in this hometown of Nanyuan, fairy money does not work. Looking at the copper coins and silver coins, it felt like they had gone to another family. Pei Qian was still a little sad. Coming.
When Cui Cheng walked out of the bookstore with Pei Qian, he asked: "Is it boring to imitate your master's behavior in everything?"
Pei Qian walked away in a swagger. In the bustling streets, "Of course not. What's the point of living? What else can I do if I can eat and drink enough every day? I used to be a beggar in the capital city of Nanyuan. My body was in rags and I didn't even have a door." I can't even get in. It's so pitiful. I can only stick to the wall and pray to gods and bodhisattvas as close as possible. The bodhisattvas can't hear me. I'm still grumbling when I should be hungry. I'm still in pain even if I should be beaten. My stomach is spinning."
Cui Cheng said with a smile: "Don't think so. Didn't the Bodhisattvas hear it in the end and let Chen Ping'an stand in front of you and become your master?"
p>Pei Qian suddenly stopped, her eyes turned red for a moment, and asked the old man to wait for her. She ran to the temple in the city alone, invited incense and offered incense, and took off the small bamboo box and put it aside. , she kowtowed many times on the futon at the feet of the Bodhisattva.
After the two left the city, Cui Cheng said that he was heading to the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom.
Pei Qian nodded and said nothing.
On the bank of a river not far from the capital.
Cui Cheng sat by the river, and Pei Qian squatted aside, scooping water and washing his face.
The old man asked: "Are you still afraid of that Cao Qinglang? If you are, we can enter the city later."
Pei Qian remained silent and stared blankly at the other side of the river.
The old man picked up a stone and threw it gently into the river. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are afraid of one person or one thing. But don't be so afraid that you dare not face it. Scholars study, How can the ordinary descendants catch up with the many sages who have preached the truth? Why don’t we stop learning? How can we compare with the poems and verses that were first written by the predecessors and only stared at by the descendants?Have you written an article? What I fear the most is that since I am on a path that is destined to be difficult to avoid in my life, I will deceive myself and others and only do the comfortable work that is within reach.
The old man pointed to the distance, "But you have to know what the scene is like over there. Open your eyes and look carefully. Don't be afraid, just hide. Then you will be afraid for the rest of your life." "
The old man smiled and said: "I am not just an outsider talking sarcastically. ”
The old man continued: “When I was a student, and later in my studies in the study, my heart was as high as the sky, and I never lost when I argued with others. Later, when I practiced boxing, I was alone, traveling thousands of miles with only my fists, and this was even more so. Pursuing, studying is the same as practicing martial arts, it is the one in the book that even though there are thousands of people, I will go there. "
The old man sighed: "There are no heroes, only Zhuzi becomes famous. The saddest thing about this sentence is not that Zhuzi became famous, but that there was no hero at all. So don’t be afraid of how good others are. If others are good and you can be better, that is true growth. "
"You Pei Qian, one day, you will not only be the founding disciple of Chen Ping'an, you Pei Qian will be Pei Qian. Of course Chen Pingan is willing to take care of you all the time. He is the kind of person who can easily change his temperament. Maybe he will mind his own business in the future, but those of you close to him who have gathered around him are the responsibilities that Chen Pingan will have to shoulder throughout his life. , he is not afraid of hardship and enjoys it. For this kind of person, if you advise him to think more about himself in this kind of matter, he will be talking like a chicken to a duck. He will definitely listen to the truth and it will be difficult to change. "
The old man stopped talking.
Pei Qian raised his head and said, "Let's go to the capital, I will lead the way! "
One old and one young went to the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom. The old rule was that if there was no customs clearance document, they would climb over the wall quietly.
Anyway, it was Cui Even if the master knew what the old man had done with her, he wouldn't be too angry, right?
Pei Qian slowed down as he entered the Nanyuan capital that Pei Qian was still very familiar with.
The old man did not urge him.
After walking through Zhuangyuan Lane, he passed by the martial arts gym that was still open, and then arrived at the Xinxiang Temple.
< p>Pei Qian was already walking a little faster.But when Pei Qian was not so scared, the old man stopped at the door of the small temple, and there were no pilgrims coming or going.
Pei Qian wanted to follow him in, but Cui Cheng shook his head and said, "You should walk the last part of the journey by yourself. "
Pei Qian nodded vigorously, turned around and walked away, walking along a street and heading to the alley alone.
The old man kept looking at the thin back and smiled. I walked into the temple without burning incense, and finally found a quiet corridor and sat there
————
Pei Qian was there on the other side of the alley. Finding that the courtyard door was locked, she sat on the steps outside the door until dusk, when a young man in a green shirt walked into the alley.
Pei Qian stood up. Looking at him
Cao Qinglang walked forward quickly with a smile on his face..
Pei Qian said slowly: "Long time no see, Cao Qinglang."
Cao Qinglang smiled and said: "Hello, Pei Qian."
Then Cao Qian As Qinglang opened the door, he turned around and asked: "Last time you left in a hurry and didn't have time to ask you how Mr. Chen was..."
Pei Qian was a little annoyed and blurted out: "Why do you deserve a beating so much?" What?"
Cao Qinglang burst into laughter.
He is really a little afraid of her.
Pei Qian looked at him.
Cao Qinglang asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Pei Qian strode into the courtyard and picked the familiar little bench, "Cao Qinglang, let me tell you something. Something!"
Cao Qinglang sat down with a smile.
Two small benches, two young old friends.
————
In the corridor of Xinxiang Temple, Cui Cheng closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, as if he had been waiting for the reunion in the alley and wanted to know the answer. Only then can you rest assured.
It’s just that Cui Cheng looked increasingly tired. After Pei Qian left, he could no longer hide his old look.
During this period, a monk approached, but Cui Chengdu just smiled and shook his head. The monk smiled, clasped his hands together, lowered his head and turned to leave.
Cui Cheng has been sitting cross-legged, as if he has finally let go of his worries. He folds his hands lightly, his eyes are in a trance, and he is silent for a long time. He gently closes his eyes and murmurs: "There is a true meaning in this, I want to distinguish it." Forgot to say."
