Chapter 563: Suddenly like a traveler from afar

Chen Pingan left the ferry midway and went to Qinghao Country, which was located in a remote corner of Luzhou in Beiju.

During the journey of thousands of miles, Chen Pingan chose the mountain roads and traveled day and night, as fast as thunder.

He soon found the state city. Just as he entered the not-wide Dongxian Street, the door of a house opened and a slender man wearing a Confucian shirt walked out, smiling. waving.

Chen Pingan looked up, looking a little dazed.

Put away your thoughts and walk quickly.

As Li Xisheng walked down the steps, Chen Pingan saluted and said, "I've met Mr. Li."

Li Xisheng smiled and bowed in return.

The young Cui Ci stood inside the door, looking at the two fellow countrymen who reunited after a long separation outside the door. Especially when the young man saw the smile on his husband's face, Cui Ci became happy.

After arriving in Luzhou, Beiju, my husband would always frown and think about something. Even if he relaxed his brows, there seemed to be many things waiting for him to think about. Unlike this moment, my husband seemed to have nothing to worry about. Think about it, just having fun.

Li Xisheng walked into the house with Chen Pingan, turned around and said with a smile: "I almost didn't recognize you."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I guess I'll wait until next time I would feel the same way when I saw the little treasure vase in the academy."

When I arrived at Li Xisheng's study, the room was not big, there were not many books, and there were no extra artifacts such as calligraphy and painting.

Li Xisheng asked Cui Ci to study by himself.

Li Xisheng moved out the chair behind the desk and sat opposite Chen Pingan, who had just taken off his bamboo hat and bamboo box.

Li Xisheng nodded and said: "Very good, I feel more settled."

Chen Ping'an scratched his head.

Li Xisheng smiled and said: "There are some things that were not suitable to talk about before, but now it's time to talk to you."

Chen Pingan, who was already sitting upright, became more and more upright. , "Mr. Li, please speak."

Li Xisheng said: "I have never been very clear about myself."

Chen Pingan hesitated, "The same is true "

Li Xisheng smiled and shook his head, "It's very different."

Li Xisheng continued: "Do you still remember that I wanted to give you a peach charm?"

Li Xisheng said: "Before that, I had a fight with the swordsman Cao Jun in Mud Bottle Alley, right?"

Chen Pingan laughed: "Mr. That made Cao Jun very helpless."

Li Xisheng said slowly: "It is difficult for a Qi practitioner to practice in Lizhu Cave, but I broke through quickly and walked out of Lizhu Cave. Ma Kuxuan in Xinghua Lane is nothing compared to me."

Chen Pingan said nothing and waited quietly for the next chapter.

Li Xisheng revealed the secret with one word, and he kept saying it without surprising, "I also deduced it repeatedly afterwards and figured out the reason. The luck that originally belonged to you, or the chance of the great road, fell to me. On my body. Same as you,I have always felt that everything in the world is about a balance. You gain and I lose. Every big and small "one" will never disappear or increase out of thin air, not at all. "

When Chen Pingan was about to speak, Li Xisheng waved his hand and said, "Wait until I finish speaking." "

Li Xisheng said: "You and I think about things in the same way, and do things in the same way. You know, you have to do something to feel at ease. Although I didn’t know in advance that I had your share of destiny, but since my realm has risen and my chess skills have gradually increased, I have pushed back step by step and calculated a clear result. Now that I know it, of course I can’t accept it calmly. , although I still don’t know the root of that piece of peach charm, no matter how I calculate it, I can’t calculate the result, but I know very well that for me, the peach charm must be very important, but it is precisely the importance that I wanted at the beginning. I give it to you as a kind of exchange of state of mind. I subtract and you add, and both parties return to balance. During this period, it’s not that I, Li Xisheng, was in a slightly higher state than you at that time, or that the peach charms were very precious, so it wasn’t equal, so I should give you something in exchange. It shouldn't be like this. I have obtained your share of the great power, and I should give it back to you with my own great power. This is the true repayment of one for one. It's just that you didn't want to accept it at that time, so I had to take a step back. That’s why I told Senior Li Er of Lion Peak, whether it’s a gift of talisman or a talisman for the Bamboo Tower, if you come to see me, Li Xisheng, out of gratitude, it will only add to the troubles for you and me, and make the mess even more messy. It's better not to see you. "

Chen Pingan looked calm and nodded gently.

Li Xisheng smiled and said: "As for the "Authentic Alchemy Book" and some talismans, they are not included here. As Brother Aquarius, thank you for protecting her all the way. "

Chen Pingan still nodded.

Li Xisheng suddenly looked a little lonely and said softly: "Chen Pingan, aren't you curious why my younger brother is called Li Baozhen? The word 'treasure' is different only for me? "

The three children of the Li family on Fulu Street are Li Xisheng, Li Baozhen, and Li Baoping.

Chen Pingan shook his head, "I have never thought about this. ”

The little girl in the red cotton jacket talked about everything when she was with her junior uncle. Chen Pingan heard that her mother seemed to favor Li Baozhen more towards her two sons than her eldest son. Li Xisheng is not that close. As he said, Chen Pingan just heard about these little treasure bottles and would not go into them.

Li Xisheng stood up and walked to the window. , looking into the distance.

Every Spring Festival in the Li family, there is an unwritten family custom. The mother of the three brothers and sisters will ask the maids and servants in the house to say some idioms with the word "李". , poems, such as the beautiful peach and plum, which is self-contained, the touching peach, the lovely peach, and even if a child accidentally said the sentence that is not a compliment, "every peach is common." Li", their mother was not angry and still gave her a piece of New Year's money. However, when she heard the words "reciprocate a favor", her smile disappeared.Many, after hearing the saying "Peach Dai Li Jian", the woman who was always amiable to all the servants could not hide her anger for the first time.

Li Xisheng was still a young man at the time, and he happened to be standing at the corner of the Chaoshou Veranda not far away when he saw that scene and heard those words.

Li Xisheng didn't understand it at the time, and just buried his curiosity deep in his heart. He didn't think it was a big deal at first, but he was vaguely and a little uneasy.

Since ancient times, poems and sentences are like peaches and plums that have always been adjacent to each other.

Li Xisheng turned his head and said softly: "The family named Chen lives across the street. There is a Confucian disciple named Chen Baozhou who is a few years older than Li Baozhen. If you meet him, you will know I understand why I, Li Xisheng, am the only one lucky enough to be able to succeed you."

In fact, there is no need to go see him.

When Li Xisheng said this, Chen Ping'an already understood everything.

Li Xisheng suddenly smiled and said: "I'm fine."

Chen Xisheng, Fairy Street, Luzhoudong, Beiju.

Li Baozhou in the Lizhu Cave of Aquarius Island.

That’s how it should be.

This also explains why a regular tree, which symbolizes the birth of a sage, grows out of the ancestral grave of the Chen family in the deep mountains.

Because this Mr. Li should have been named Chen. < /p>

Chen Pingan stood up and said: "Mr. Li should be sad, but it seems that he doesn't need to be so sad."

Li Xisheng laughed, his eyes clear and bright, "These words are very comforting. ."

Chen Pingan laughed.

Then Li Xisheng suggested that the two play chess.

The two of them played chess and chatted casually.

Chen Pingan plays chess slowly. In the final stage, he only says one or two words after each move.

"Before I came to Beiju Luzhou, I was actually quite scared. I heard that there were many swordsmen here, and they all behaved unscrupulously on the mountain and down the mountain, so I thought about coming here to follow Kuan Xin, and then I found out It turns out that as long as you can't control your heart, you can wander far away in the wind, with your feet in the mud."

"I was afraid that I would go from one extreme to another, so I took on the pseudonym Chen Haoren. What's fun is to remind myself that when I come here to experience, I can't be careless and follow the crowd."

"Maybe deep down in my heart, I have been secretly thinking that if I can be a truly good person, That's good."

Li Xisheng didn't say much. Hearing this, he said: "I admit that I have selfish thoughts, but I can always do good. Chen Ping'an, do you know what this is?" p>

Chen Pingan shook his head.

Li Xisheng picked up a chess piece, placed it gently on the chessboard, and said: "This is what our Confucian sages have been thinking about, be careful about being alone, restrain yourself and return to etiquette."

Chen PinganShaking his head, he didn't think so.

Li Xisheng didn't say much, just looked at the chess game, "But the stinky chess basket is really a stinky chess basket."

Chen Pingan said: "I really don't have anything to do with playing chess. What kind of talent?"

Li Xisheng smiled and said: "Is that true?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Because I have no pattern in playing chess, and I can't bear to do it."

Li Xisheng said: "Everyone in the world is playing their own chess game in the world. There are many smart people who are like chess pieces in their hands. You, Chen Pingan, are not missing."

Chen Pingan smiled. : "Mr. Li's words are very comforting."

Li Xisheng said: "I am telling the truth, you are flattering me and making judgments."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said : "We are in Luolu Mountain, walking around the country, and everyone has the word "sincerity" carved on their foreheads!"

Li Xisheng smiled and raised his hands and fists, "Nice to meet you."

Chen Ping'an suddenly smiled. Far-fetched.

Li Xisheng sighed in his heart.

It should have reminded me of the bamboo building in Luolu Mountain.

Life between heaven and earth is suddenly like a traveler from afar.

————

When the ferry goes from north to south, it passes through the Dazhuan Dynasty, Jinfei Kingdom, and Lanfang Kingdom in order, and then arrives at Fushui Ferry in Chunlu Garden.

It is now the time of autumn, and Chen Ping'an has missed the spring banquet in Chunlu Garden for another year. Fu Shuidu is much deserted compared to last time.

The excitement of Chunlu Garden is all in spring.

Chen Pingan stepped off the ferry. Compared to the attire he wore when he left last year, there was not much difference. However, he replaced the sword fairy with a bamboo box to carry. He was still wearing a green shirt and a bamboo hat while hiking. stick.

Chen Pingan went straight to Laohuai Street. The street was more lively and bustling than the ferry. When he saw the small shop with a plaque hanging on it, Chen Pingan smiled knowingly. There were two big characters on the plaque. It was really Well written, he took off his bamboo hat and stepped through the door

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

There were no customers in the shop for the time being, which made Chen Pingan feel a little sad again. The acting shopkeeper who had already raised his head and greeted him with a smile, a young monk from Zhaoye Caotang, found out that it was the new owner, and his smile became more sincere. He quickly walked around the counter, bent down and clasped his fists, saying: "Wang Tingfang has seen the owner of Sword Immortal." "

As for the title, Wang Tingfang had been thinking about it for a long time, but he did not expect that he would return to the young swordsman named Chen so soon. After all, the monks on the mountain would often travel far away. There has been no trace of it for decades.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and returned the salute, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper Wang."

Wang Tingfang asked softly: "Junior, are you going to get the account book now?"

The businessman said Business experience is more practical than any pleasantries.

Chen Pingan nodded and walked behind the counter together. Chen Pingan took off the bamboo box and placed the bamboo hat on the hiking pole.

Wang Tingfang took out two books of accounts. When Chen Pingan saw this scene, he felt a little sad and smoked.After all, if the business is really bad, can you keep two accounts?

Chen Pingan had already seen the many items on the treasure racks in the shop, and he understood clearly in his heart. Then he started to check the accounts. When he saw one place, he was surprised and said: "There are really people who pay such a high price to buy it." Are you going to buy that pair of golden crowns of magical quality?"

Looking at the shipping date, Chen Ping'an looked strange and asked: "Is it a young woman from Wuling Country? A guard carrying a sword?"

Wang Tingfang said in shock: "My boss, can you even count this?"

Chen Ping'an was helpless and did not tell Sui Jingcheng and Duckweed Sword Lake Nascent Soul Sword Xiu Rongchang. He shook his head and sighed: "You really don't regard money as money, but you still sold it at a low price."

Wang Tingfang was a little frightened.

Chen Pingan lay on the counter, slowly flipped through the account book, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang has done his best on this transaction. I am just familiar with the other party, so I am just talking nonsense. No. As for being so familiar, if I were to sell the goods in person in the shop, I would never be able to sell the goods at the price of Shopkeeper Wang." While looking through the account books carefully, he chatted with Wang Tingfang about the current situation and photos of Chunlu Garden. Yecaotang business matters.

Wang Tingfang smiled and said: "It was just a coincidence, relying on the great reputation of the boss, that I sold the golden crown, the treasure of the store. Only last year's business books looked beautiful, and I have a good relationship with the younger generation. Not big. The junior dared to pray to the master not to tell the truth to the master, otherwise the junior would definitely pack up and leave the shop. The master is very concerned about the business of the senior’s shop. He must personally review the profit and loss of every quarter and summon him. The junior went over to ask."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I brought some Caique Mansion Xiaoxuanbi tea cakes this time, and I will come to the door in person to express my gratitude to Master Tang. The business of the shop is better than I thought. There are too many. If Shopkeeper Wang is not worried that I am superfluous to Master Tang, I will definitely say a few nice words for Shopkeeper Wang."

Wang Tingfang took two steps back and bowed to thank you, "Sword Immortal's boss's kindness is as great as a mountain. The younger generation can only keep up the good work and help the Pingying Shop make more money."

Chen Pingan closed the account book and simply stopped reading the second one. Since Wang Tingfang said that Zhaoye Cottage would take a look at it. Chen Ping'an was polite and reciprocated, but if he took a closer look, he would slap Wang Tingfang and Zhaoye Caotang in the face.

Gently pushing the two account books towards Wang Tingfang, Chen Pingan smiled and said: "There are no mistakes in the account books. Remember them carefully and clearly. I have nothing to worry about. In addition, shopkeeper Wang will do business in the future, as long as there is a steady flow of water. , Don’t be too demanding about the shop’s annual profit, it looks good on the books. After I leave Chunlu Garden this time, I will probably be a hands-off shopkeeper for many years, so I’ll thank Shopkeeper Wang for your troubles.”

Wang Tingfang smiled. After agreeing, he put away the account book and carefully locked it in the drawer.

Chen Pingan turned around and took out two things from the bamboo box. One was the jade bracelet with the appearance of "water and fire", with a palindrome poem engraved on it. There is also an ancient bronze mirror, which is undoubtedly a mirror to ward off evil spirits. It has the most valuable words "Made by the Palace Family". With the gall pot and the fasting tablet, all four things areA gift from Master Huang, a martial artist. Afterwards, when I thought about that trip to the mountains to hunt for treasure, I realized that being able to part ways with Master Huang was not a good reunion at all, but a good separation.

The tree gall pot itself is not of high quality, but the old master Huan Yun said clearly that this old thing can help Qi practitioners absorb the spiritual energy of the wood spiritual treasure, which is suitable for the current refining. For Chen Pingan, the third natal object of wood, it was exactly what he needed that a lot of money could not buy. On his way south, Chen Pingan used Master Huolong's three-mountain refining method to refine it into the key to the location of the wooden house. An auxiliary treasure from the cave was placed in the wooden house.

As for the fasting tablet, Chen Pingan also plans to refine it in the wooden house. However, refining it is too time-consuming. In addition to refining the blue brick water transport at the six unshakable hours every day, he can Successfully refining tree galls in a pot was considered a sign of Chen Ping'an's diligent practice. After taking the ferry several times, Chen Ping'an spent almost all of his free time refining artifacts.

Chen Pingan put the jade bracelet and ancient mirror in his hands on the table, roughly explained the basis of the two objects, and said with a smile: "Now that two golden crowns have been sold, the shop has disappeared. Treasure of Calm, these two items, shopkeeper Wang took them to make up the number, but if they were not sold, he could charge a sky-high price. Anyway, they were just put in the shop to attract the customers of the immortals. The shop is small, so top-notch goods are needed. "More."

Wang Tingfang smiled and nodded in agreement. He carefully put away the two items and said, "Then, I will buy two matching wooden boxes with the best quality from Chunlupu, otherwise I will be sorry for these two valuable treasures."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "This kind of "Expense, shopkeeper Wang doesn't need to talk to me anymore. I can trust Zhaoye Caotang's business experience, and I can trust shopkeeper Wang's character."

Wang Tingfang bowed and thanked him again.

Chen Pingan left the wormwood shop and went to meet the young man who helped carve the forty-eight Yuying Cliff cobblestones. The latter burst into tears of gratitude. Chen Pingan didn't say much, just smiled and chatted with him for a while. , then went to see the old locust tree, stood there for a long time, and then drove the talisman boat presented by Huan Yun to Zhaoye Thatched Cottage and the old woman who was the mentor of Song Lanqiao, the ferry steward of Chunlu Pu. , the gifts that came to visit were all small Xuanbi gifts given by Wu Yu, the founder of the Caique Mansion.

The old woman is particularly happy. The status of her disciple Song Lanqiao in Chunlu Garden has risen sharply, all because of this young foreign swordsman. The young man came to visit her twice, and even more It was a show of respect. The old woman didn't return the favor that time, and she still didn't return the favor this time. It wasn't the old woman who was so stingy, but the young swordsman who always regarded himself as a junior. He said a flattering saying, "Things can only be done if they come together." , which made the old woman laugh heartily, and she personally took her all the way to the foot of the mountain. After returning to the mountain, the old woman who had a high position in the Chunlupu Patriarch Hall thought about it and decided to look back. Except for the Zhaoye Cottage, which she had a mediocre relationship with, there are many other things. In addition to walking around, he also told his disciple Song Lanqiao to take more care of the business of Fengxing Shop in the future. He no longer had to hide and worry about obvious signs and fell behind. From now on, he would directly make his attitude clear.She was asked to do it by her master. Who would dare to say that the two golden elixirs between the master and the disciple were vegetarians?

At Taihui Jianzong Pianran Peak, they should have given out a can of Xiaoxuanbi to fulfill their promise, but Chen Pingan did not dare to add fuel to the fire at that time. Xu Xingjiu’s previous trip was sincere. Visited and asked Qi Jinglong to drink until he was full, but ended up drinking tea after finishing the wine? Chen Pingan had a bad conscience, so he planned to send it to Qi Jinglong in Chunlu Garden, and he would accept it even if he refused.

When I visited Zhaoye Cottage earlier, Tang Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of Master Tang Xian, was not on the mountain. She went to meet her lover at Tiefou Mansion of the Daguan Dynasty. According to the tone of that Cottage, Master Tang Xian, the two parties were about to get married and become a couple. The Taoist couple on the mountain, Chunlu Pu Zhaoye Thatched Cottage and Tiemou Mansion will become in-laws after that. Master Tang Xian invited Chen Jianxian to a wedding banquet. Chen Pingan found an excuse to decline politely, and Master Tang Xian did not force it.

Chen Pingan really didn't like the Tieyou Mansion. In fact, Chen Pingan had a deadly feud with him. On the ferry, he personally killed the Jin Shen Liao who was born on the battlefield. Jing Wufu, but instead of being held accountable, the Wei family of Tiemou Mansion behaved very respectfully. Chen Pingan understood the other party's forbearance, so the two sides tried their best to stay on the same page. Smile away the grudges and forget it.

Drinking several times with Liu Zhimao, the Shu Jianhu Jiejiang True Lord, they became temporary allies and did business together. As Chen Pingan said, the world is complicated, and you have to adapt even if you don't adapt.

I reunited with He Xiaoliang on the shore of the West Sea in Luzhou, Beiju. During the seemingly calm chat, Chen Pingan said that if the ape moving in Zhengyang Mountain asked him to kowtow, Liu Xianyang could avoid it. In times of calamity, Chen Ping'an, let alone kneeling down and kowtowing, can even kowtow a flower.

This is also true, and it is not a joke.

But later Liu Zhimao broke through and entered the upper five realms, and Luo Luoshan still did not congratulate him.

On the road of life, there are two types of bowing your head to others. One is relying on others and being forced by the situation, and the other is the tireless pursuit of maximizing interests.

The former will make people depressed, but the latter will make people happy.

Chen Pingan took a talisman boat and went to the Yuying Cliff, which was once the place where Liu Zhiqing brewed tea in the Golden Crow Palace. Now, like the Hingying Shop, it is his own territory.

Chen Pingan found an acquaintance standing in the pavilion of Yuying Cliff, the owner of Chunlu Garden and the ancestor of Yuanying, Tanling.

Chen Pingan put away the talisman boat and walked quickly to the pavilion.

Tan Ling walked down the steps of the pavilion and said with a smile: "When I heard that Chen Jianxian was coming to Chunlu Garden, I happened to have nothing to do, so I came uninvited."

Chen Ping An and Tan Ling walked into the pavilion together and sat opposite each other. Then they smiled and said, "Mrs. Tan, you are so polite." Collection, said: "This is the latest book "Winter Dew and Spring is Here". Afterwards, the feedback from Shanmen was that the article about Chen Jianxian and Liu Jianxian about drinking tea and asking about Yuying Cliff was the most popular."

Chen Ping'an took the booklet and turned to his own article. It was beautifully worded and had decent content. He planned to go back and show it to his founding disciple.

Chen Ping'an put it in his sleeves, looked at the white jade cliffs and deep streams, and said softly: "It's really a pity to miss the Spring Festival banquet twice. I have to say goodbye here, and I don't know. When can I return to Chunlu Garden?"

Tan Ling is actually a little surprised. Why is this young swordsman so "impressed" with Chunlu Garden?

In the previous meeting, Tan Ling could only be said to be polite, but slightly distant, because for Tan Ling and Chun Lupu, there was no need to do any additional business, and everything was stable. Can.

But not long after this young green-shirted swordsman left Chunlu Pond, in the Fuhu Kingdom not too far to the north, there were Taihui Sword Sect Liu Jinglong and a certain swordsman. Together on the top of the mountain, the feat of sacrificing swords. It was a golden sword light that shot straight into the sky and broke through the night. Based on the previous incident of the Golden Crow Palace splitting thunderclouds, Tan Ling had some guesses.

A sword cultivator who got to know Jinwu

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

Gong Xiaoshishu Liu Zhiqing, a sword cultivator, Tan Ling can meet and chat a few words .

In addition to having an irreversible relationship with Jindan sword cultivator Liu Zhiqing, he is also qualified to travel and sacrifice swords with Liu Jinglong, a Taihui swordsman who is already a Yupu realm swordsman. Then if Tan Ling no longer loses face At one o'clock, I should go to the Pingying Shop in Laohuai Street and wait outside.

It's not that Tan Ling can't let go of this little bit of face, but he's worried that his appearance twice, his change of attitude, and being too stiff will make the young swordsman feel contemptuous and look down on the entire Chunlu Garden.

In the pavilion, the two sides still chatted politely.

But the young swordsman’s previous words had already made Tan Ling feel that his trip was worthwhile.

Tan Ling and Chen Ping'an exchanged greetings for a moment, then stood up and left. Chen Ping'an walked to the steps of the pavilion and watched the Nascent Soul female cultivator Yu Feng leave.

Chen Pingan wrote three secret letters, visited the Chunlu Garden Sword Room, and sent them to Taihui Sword Sect, Yunshang City and Jinwu Palace respectively.

In addition to sending letters to Qi Jinglong, of course it is the Xiaoxuanbi.

The letter talked about the imitation swords in Henjian Mountain and the purchase of treasures from Sanlang Temple. One hundred Grain Rain coins were given, and Qi Jinglong was asked to take over the three sword quests and then decide what to do on his own, guaranteeing the purchase of a sword. If the immortal imitation sword and a piece of Sanlang Temple treasure armor are not enough, he can only ask Qi Jinglong to pay for it in advance. If there is still a surplus, he can buy an additional Henjianshan imitation sword and try to select as many idle treasures from Sanlang Temple as possible. , buy whatever you want. The letter was unambiguous. He asked Qi Jinglong to show some of the demeanor and courage of the Five Realm Sword Immortal to help him negotiate for a price. If the other party was not honest, he might as well say shamelessly several times, "I am the Taihui Sword Sect." ', "I am Liu Jinglong".

At the end of the letter, I wish Qi Jinglong smooth success in taking over the three sword-fighting missions of Li Cai, Dong Zhu and Bai Shang.

The letter sent to Xu Xingjiu in Yunshang City said that he had already met the "Mr. Liu", and the last time he had a drink was actuallyIt’s not all fun yet, mainly because three battles are about to take place and you need to cultivate your mind and character. However, Mr. Liu approves of the quality of your Xu Xingjiu. So when Mr. Liu succeeds in the three sword quests, don't be shy. You Xu Xingjiu can definitely go to Taihui Sword Sect again, and this time Mr. Liu may be able to drink openly. By the way, I would like to send a message to myself and the young man named Bai Shou. When Bai Shou goes down the mountain to travel in the future, he can take a trip to Luoluo Mountain in Aquarius Island. At the end of the letter, he told Xu Xingjiu that if there was a reply, he could send it to the Pima Sect in Gugutan. The recipient should write Pang Lanxi, the direct descendant of Muyishan Patriarch Hall, and ask him to pass it on to Chen Haoren.

The last letter was sent to the Golden Crow Palace Rongzhu Peak, and the recipient was of course the old owner of Yuying Cliff, Liu Zhiqing.

The text in the letter is very sparse, only two sentences, "It is not easy to cultivate one's mind, so you and I can encourage each other."

"When I return to the Skeleton Beach, I will definitely be with Mr. Pang. I’ll help you get a set of masterpieces of goddess paintings.”

After returning to Yuying Cliff, Chen Pingan sat alone in the pavilion and thought for a long time.

The ferry that goes between Chunlu Pond and Bone Beach will take two days to reach Fu Shuidu.

It seems like there are a lot of things to do, and it seems like there is nothing to do.

Chen Pingan left the pavilion, rolled up his sleeves and trousers, and went to touch stones in the stream below the deep pool.

————

Song Lanqiao, an old monk from Chunlu Garden Jindan, was a little embarrassed.

Because on the home ferry that set off from Skeleton Beach, a very scary passenger came on board.

It is a handsome young man in white who is going to Chunlu Garden.

Song Lanqiao was not able to witness the huge movement that shook the world and made the ghosts cry at the border between the Skeleton Beach and the Ghost Valley. Because the incident happened suddenly and ended quickly, Song Lanqiao was not able to see it with his own eyes, but he has some identity. What the genealogy monks on the mountain are best at is collecting information from all sources and looking for clues. After the handsome young man holding a green bamboo stick boarded the ship, the first thing Song Lanqiao did was to fly his sword to Chunlupu Zushitang. He must be careful to deal with this person. He had a weird personality. The first thing he did when he arrived at the Skeleton Beach was Tear apart the canopy of Ghost Valley and smash the magic weapon on the head of Gao Cheng, the Jade Pu Realm hero in Jingguan City!

Gao Cheng, who is in charge of Jingguan City, has a level of cultivation equivalent to that of an immortal, and he has not yet pursued and killed this "young man" who came to make trouble.

Once Chunlu Garden suffers a disaster, what else can be done?

While the ferry was going to Chunlu Garden, the young man in white sneaked off the boat and went to the mountain river at the foot of Cangjun Lake. However, he quickly caught up with the ferry in the wind and paddled the water like a dog. Quietly returning to the ferry late at night, if it weren't for Song Lanqiao who was restless and had been staring at his ferry these days, it would have been impossible to imagine that this person was so powerful and could use a ferry with the Chunlu Garden's secret law to enter and exit an uninhabited land. .

Song Lanqiao became increasingly frightened.

The young man seems to be very idle, often leaving the house and wandering around on the ferry deck every day.

CloseAfter the Spring Dew Garden, the handsome young man with the red mole on his eyebrows became a little impatient. He seemed to dislike the ferry being too slow, but for some unknown reason, he kept his temper and stayed on the boat instead of leaving.

This day, the young man took the initiative to find Song Lanqiao, knocked on the door, and asked straight to the point: "How is the business of your clam shop on Laohuai Street now?"

I didn't notice it at all before. When Song Lanqiao saw the other party coming to visit, he asked cautiously: "Senior and that Chen Jianxian are... friends?"

The young man's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Fuck you, how can we be friends? !"

Song Lanqiao's expression changed slightly, and his heart was filled with confusion. Could it be that this person and the young swordsman were enemies? Is Chunlupu implicated? So what should I do?

The young man sneered: "What, you know each other?"

Song Lanqiao had a battle between heaven and man, and finally gritted his teeth and said with a bitter face: "This junior does know Chen Jianxian, so it's okay Familiar. The first time Chen Jianxian went to Chunlu Pu, he took the junior ferry." Unexpectedly, the young man slapped Lao Jindan hard on the shoulder and said with a bright smile: "What a good boy. , The road has become wider!"

Song Lanqiao staggered after being slapped so hard that Lao Jindan was confused for a moment.

The young man's smile did not diminish, and he invited Song Lanqiao to sit down and drink tea. Song Lanqiao was uneasy. After sitting down, he took the tea cup, a little trepidation.

Unconsciously, Song Lanqiao had forgotten that this was actually his own territory.

The young man himself did not drink tea. He just placed the green bamboo hiking pole horizontally on the table beside his hand, folded his hands on the table, and said with a smile: "Since he is an acquaintance of my husband, then he is me. Cui Dongshan’s friend.”

Song Lanqiao became more and more confused. He could count all the monks in the upper five realms of Aquarius Continent.

Among the monks in the upper five realms, there is no such person as Cui Dongshan, but there is one named Cui. He is the Great Li State Master Cui Chan. Among the monks on the top of Luzhou Mountain in Beiju, he is the most famous A very resounding name.

As for the "young man" in front of him, how did he become the student of the young swordsman?

It’s not that Song Lanqiao looked down on the young man who traveled far away. This matter was absolutely unreasonable.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "My husband misses the past the most. Before returning to Muyi Mountain, he will definitely visit your Chunlu Garden."

This is mainly because there is an old locust tree there. .

Only Cui Dongshan is so sure.

Song Lanqiao couldn't help but ask: "Is Chen Jianxian the senior's husband?"

Cui Dongshan squinted and said: "Envy? Are you envious? My husband recruits disciples, and he chooses them from thousands of places. There is no one to choose from.”

Song Lanqiao was about to collapse.

This is nothing.

The young swordsman who had some affection with Chunlu Pu walked along the way, treated people, and chatted with every detail. He was polite and courteous. Looking back afterwards, it made people feel like spring breeze. How could he be like this? locationWeird student?

Cui Dongshan suddenly smiled and said: "Lan Qiao, do you not believe that I am Mr.'s disciple, or do you not believe that Mr. has a disciple like me?"

Song Lanqiao was already terrified. , two statements that seem to have almost the same meaning, are actually very mysterious. How to answer must be more careful. In fact, there are not many choices for him. There are only two options: say good things about the person in front of him, or lose his mind and go crazy. To say good things about the young swordsman would inevitably lead to belittling the courageous, eccentric man with many magic weapons and high cultivation level in front of him.

Song Lanqiao quickly weighed the pros and cons and felt that it was better to treat others with sincerity and be on the safe side. He said slowly: "I really can't believe that Chen Jianxian, who is so young, has a student like my senior."

Cui Dongshan shook his head and said: "What a pity, what a pity, the road has been narrowed again."

Song Lanqiao cursed in his heart, I saw a weird senior like you with ulterior motives. , before the road is dead, it’s time to reach Chunlu Garden and offer incense to the ancestors.

Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "After returning to Chunlu Garden, it's time to burn incense for your ancestors."

Song Lanqiao's heartstrings tightened instantly.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "If you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I'm not a ghost, and you don't have any bad intentions. What are you afraid of?"

Song Lanqiao said bitterly: "Senior Just kidding."

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "I talked to you with a smile, so what you said, Lan Qiao, is very knowledgeable. Have you read a book?" /p>

Song Lanqiao was speechless.

Cui Dongshan picked up the hiking pole and stood up, "Then I will go ahead and try my luck to see if Mr. is already in Chunlu Garden now. Lan Qiao, you will be less worried." ”

Song Lanqiao always felt that what he said was meaningless, so he simply shut up and silently sent this senior out of the house.

The handsome young man in white clothes and green bamboo cane crossed the threshold and strode down the corridor. He raised his hand and waved, "No need to send it off."

Song Lanqiao stood there in shock, sweating profusely. Drenching, unaware.

Cui Dongshan walked to the bow of the ship and stood up. The entire ferry dropped dozens of feet. The man turned into a rainbow and disappeared away, a snow-white figure with a thunderous momentum.

————

Chen Ping’an was bending down to pick up stones in the stream. He picked out the stones and put them all in the rolled-up pocket of his green shirt, guarding them with one hand. Suddenly he stood up and turned around to look.

I saw Cui Dongshan.

Chen Pingan was stunned for a long time and asked, "Senior Cui is gone?"

Cui Dongshan hummed and lowered his head.

Chen Pingan said: "I'm fine, are you okay?"

Cui Dongshan raised his head, "Sir, it's not good."

Chen Pingan Let the pebbles fall into the stream and walk towards the shore. Unknowingly, the gentleman was half a head taller than the student.

Chen Pingan reached out and pressed Cui Dongshan's shoulder and said, "Then let's go home together."
