Chen Pingan and Cui Dongshan went to their own shop on Laohuai Street.
Chen Pingan was sitting on a small bamboo chair at the door, basking in the warm autumn sun. Cui Dongshan drove away the acting shopkeeper Wang Tingfang, saying that he was letting him rest for a day. Wang Tingfang smiled and nodded when he saw the young boss, He left the shop confused.
The business on this day was not bad, because everyone in Laohuai Street heard that a rare and handsome young man had arrived, so there were especially many young female nuns. Cui Dongshan was very good at drinking semen soup, so he He made a lot of unconscionable fairy money, but Chen Pingan didn't care.
The next day at Fushuidu, Tan Ling and Tang Xi appeared together, and of course Song Lanqiao, who was in charge of the Chunlupu ferry.
After the greetings, Chen Pingan and Cui Dongshan boarded the ship, and Song Lanqiao followed them all the way. The well-informed old Jin Dan discovered a strange thing and saw the young swordsman and the boy in white alone. When the two of them walked together, they were always unable to connect each other, especially the teacher and the student. It was even more unimaginable. But when the two of them walked together, there was an indescribable fit. Could it be that both of them were holding green hands? The reason for the bamboo walking pole?
Song Lanqiao didn't dare to say anything more, he just said one thing and thanked her sincerely.
It turns out that Song Lanqiao just got a chair in Chunlupu Patriarch Hall. Although it only replaced Tang Xi’s bottom position, with Tang Xi on the left and right, they seemed to have become two statues in Chunlupu Patriarch Hall. Door God, but taking this step will skyrocket the reputation of the immortal family and the secular dynasty on the mountain. It will be a large amount of extra immortal money every year, and it will also allow some human family members to ascend to heaven.
So when Song Lanqiao faced the young swordsman, it was not an exaggeration to say that he had received a great favor. It's just that this is where Song Lanqiao is smart. He is used to doing business and is pragmatic, and he doesn't bother to be courteous to the young man named Chen.
On the ferry, Song Lanqiao arranged a room with a high ceiling for them. After thinking about it, he simply did not let the maids who were former female cultivators of Chunlu Pu show their faces.
In the room, Cui Dongshan poured a cup of tea for Chen Pingan, and lay on the table. Two snow-white sleeves occupied nearly half of the table. Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Sir, when it comes to fighting, ten spring dews None of them are as good as the Pima Sect, but when it comes to business, Chunlu Garden is really not inferior to the Pima Sect. From now on, we can talk to Chunlu Garden in Luopo Mountain and we will definitely be able to deal with each other frequently."
Chen Pingan drank tea and said nothing.
Cui Dongshan said: "Tan Ling is a person who seeks stability, because Chunlu Pu's business has reached its peak now. On the mountain, he only focuses on the Pima Sect, and down the mountain, he mainly focuses on winning over the Daguan Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with that. But after the shelf was set up, Tan Ling also discovered many shortcomings of Chunlu Garden, that is, many old people were used to enjoying the blessings, or were still motivated to practice, so there were too few available people. Even if she had wanted to support Tang in the past, Xi will also be too wary, worried about the God of Wealth, and Gao Song, who only works hard to make money and can't lose his tail. If there is a nest of snakes and rats, Chunlu Garden will be finished by then. When the time comes for her to talk about the mausoleum, Chun Lupu will change dynasties and turn overThere are a lot of disciples in Tan Ling's lineage, but there are not many who can do the job. The green and the yellow are not connected, which is very fatal. They will not be able to withstand Tang Xi and Gao Song joining forces. When the time comes, the disciples will not be able to do anything, and they will be defeated again and again. Compared with Money bag, that's even more different. "
"So it is the safest way for Tang Xi to form an alliance with Lin Chao. Although Lin Chao has a bad temper, he is unambitious after all. He is also loyal to Chunlu Pu, plus he has a man who talks to her. Song Lanqiao burst into tears with gratitude, and the three of them hugged each other, and Chunlu Garden had a new look. If we, Luopo Mountain, handed over another pillow to help Chunlu Garden open the gap in the north of Aquarius Continent, even if it was just a small gap, It will make many monks on the mountainside and foot of the mountain in Chunlupu who are familiar with business feel inspiring. However, Aquarius Island is currently under construction everywhere, and there are people in Chunlu Garden who have property and money. We, Luo Luoshan, both have what we need, so they are the most suitable business partners. However, it is also necessary to note that Chunlu Pu is not accustomed to the acclimatization of Aquarius Island. Fortunately, the Dali imperial court, from the civil servants to the military commanders on the battlefield, and the Chunlu Pu monks pee in the same pot. ”
“Mr.’s far-reaching layout and precise and meticulous placement can be called the style of a national player. "
Hearing this, Chen Ping'an finally couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are the one who ruined the feng shui of Luolu Mountain, right? "
Cui Dongshan said aggrievedly: "How is that possible! Chef Zhu, Senior Sister, and Brother Dafeng are all experts in this way! Besides, the feng shui of Luolu Mountain is so bad now.
Chen Ping'an said: "I didn't deliberately plan to cooperate with Chunlu Pu. To put it bluntly, I didn't dare to think about it. It would be great to do some Baofengzhai business." If it really works, most of the credit is due to you. "
Cui Dongshan raised an arm, stretched out his fingers and tapped three times on the table, drawing a triangle, "Tang Xi, Lin Shang'e, and Song Lanqiao are three. Tanling line, Gaosong line, Tangxi hilltop, another three. Luolu Mountain, Pima Sect, and Chunlu Garden are still three. The various forces that Mr. Xiang has gathered are located at the southern end of Luzhou in the north and the northern end of Aquarius Continent. They are a larger three. This is the most stable relationship in the world. Sir, are you still unwilling to admit that you are a national player in chess? "
Chen Pingan shook his head and said with a smile: "It was just an accident. "
Cui Dongshan sighed, "Sir, you are so open-minded, and the students have learned a lesson. ”
Chen Ping’an laughed and scolded: “Get the hell out of here.” "
Cui Dongshan was about to speak, but Chen Pingan immediately said: "Are you coming? ! ”
Cui Dongshan only felt that his unique skills and eighteen weapons were useless.
Sure enough, Mr. is still very powerful.
Cui Dongshan suddenly Asked: "When we arrive at the Skeleton Beach, would you like to meet Gao Cheng for a while? I can guarantee that my husband will have a worry-free trip back and forth. "
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "I won't go to Jingguan City for the time being. "
Cui Dongshan asked: "Because this person took the initiative to break the sky in order to sacrifice the sword for Pu Chuan? Is there any heroic spirit left? ”
Chen Pingan said: “No such thing.”It’s so simple, but it’s more complicated, and we’ll talk about it later. ”
Cui Dongshan naturally had no objection.
After passing Suijia City and Cangjun Lake, Chen Pingan left the house, and Cui Dongshan stood with him by the bow railing. , overlooking the earth.
The vast Cangyun Lake looks like a green stone lying quietly in the Yuyingya stream.
I still owe a drink to a certain fire temple over there.
I can only owe it first.
Cui Dongshan said softly: "Sir, don't take risks like this in the future. . "
Chen Ping'an said: "Of course I should nod and agree. I really understood it now and told myself that I must stay away from the storm and become a cultivator on the mountain. Things at the bottom of the mountain are external affairs. But you and I know that once things come to a head, it will be difficult. "
Cui Dongshan was lying on the railing, his legs bent, and his two sleeves exposed outside the railing, like two small snow-white waterfalls.
Chen Pingan asked: "Are Zhou Mili still used to staying in Luopo Mountain? "
Cui Dongshan nodded, "I am very used to it. I always feel that Pei Qian who copies books every day is a scholar. I am eagerly waiting for Pei Qian to write her the story of the big water monster in Mute Lake in his own hand in the future. The little girl is a mess. She is Pei Qian's little tail every day, carrying a hiking pole on her back. Now she is the right protector of Qilong Lane and was promoted by her husband to become the right protector of Luo Luoshan. Now, she is doing well with her. Before people speak, they have to cough twice to moisten their throats, and then speak in an old-fashioned manner. This is a bad habit I learned from my senior sister. "
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Very good. ”
Cui Dongshan asked curiously: “Do you really want to put the little girl into the genealogy of the Luopo Mountain Patriarch Hall and become the right protector enshrined on the top of a mountain? "
Chen Pingan said: "Of course. This is no child's play. I was a little hesitant before, but after seeing the dense hills and undercurrents in Chunlu Garden, I became determined. I just want outsiders to think Luolu Mountain is so strange and incomprehensible. It's not that I don't know the cost of doing this, but I can try to make up for it elsewhere. It can be me, Chen Ping'an, the mountain master, who makes more money and practices diligently, or it can be you, a student, or Zhu Lian , Lu Baixiang, our existence is the reason for the existence of Zhou Mili and Chen Ruchu, and it will also be the reason why some new faces from Luoluoshan will think, "It's not strange that this is the case." ”
“I do not object to Luolu Mountain becoming a sect-headed mountain gate in the future, but I will never deliberately abandon the flowers and plants on the roadside in order to gather power. Those flowers and plants on Luolu Mountain would not have been seen before. It is a dispensable existence and will never happen again. What's more, they are never just beautiful scenery on the roadside. They are part of my life. Being able to take care of those who deserve to be taken care of makes me feel particularly at ease. "
Chen Pingan turned around and said: "I said this, is it understandable? "
Cui Dongshan nodded vigorously, "Understand and accept! ”
Chen Pingan sighed: “But it must beIt won't be easy. ”
Cui Dongshan said: “Every heroic word and every ambition will not be easy as long as you practice it. ”
There are some words that Cui Dongshan doesn’t even want to say.
All the joy of meeting again after a long separation will be the sadness of parting in the future.
But This does not prevent those reunions that can make people happy, drink, and make people happy.
But don’t forget that sometimes, parting is just parting.
Chen Ping'an also lay on the railing, looking at the golden sea of clouds under the bright sun in the distance, and asked: "Won't you feel uncomfortable becoming my disciple? "
Cui Dongshan said: "No.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "There is a huge difference in realm and knowledge. Of course you are a good student." "
Cui Dongshan said: "Sir, if you say this, the students will be unconvinced. If Pei Qian's martial arts improves by leaps and bounds, breaking through the realm quickly, like eating millet grains, bowl after bowl, let him The people eating at the same table were all dazzled. Could it be that Mr. Ming also felt uncomfortable? "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Of course I feel uncomfortable. Where can I put Master's face? When you are explaining the truth, if your voice is too loud, you have to worry about giving the disciple a backhand, but don't you feel panic? "
Cui Dongshan laughed heartily.
Mr. traveled north and cultivated his mind very well.
After a moment of silence, Chen Pingan said: "I am a stubborn person. , I like to get into trouble. One day, there will be some trivial matters on the other side of Luolu Mountain that will become my big problems. When the time comes, you can give me some suggestions. "
Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "As the sage has said, if something happens, the disciple will do his duty. "
Cui Dongshan turned his head, pressed his cheek against the railing, and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "If you have wine and food, sir, do you ever think you are filial? "
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Don't tamper with the original meaning of moral articles and ruin the good intentions of sages. "
Cui Dongshan said: "Sir, don't forget that when I was a student, I was a high-spirited, sharp-edged, and knowledgeable person who could not even hide it from his pocket, nor could others stop him. Unstoppable. It’s not that I’m bragging that I don’t draft drafts. The great sacrificial wine of the Academy is at your fingertips. If you really want to be more philistine, the deputy leader of the Middle Earth Confucian Temple can’t do it.
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I believe what the Imperial Master said. As for you, you can pull him down. The wind is strong here on the bow, so be careful of your tongue." "
Cui Dongshan chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, students really don't need to draft when they are bragging. "
Chen Pingan asked: "Is the Middle-earth Divine Continent very big? "
Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "It's very big. Only the combined territory of the eight continents can rival the Divine Continent of Middle Earth. From the remaining eight continents, if one or two people can squeeze into the list of ten in Middle-earth, they are capable. For example, Chen Chun'an, a scholar in Nan Po Sua Continent, Great Heavenly Master with the surname Longhu Shan in Beiju Lu Continent, Huo Long Zhenren, and Liu Da Caishen from Aai Ai Continent. ”
Chen Pingan said: “Then you must go and see it in the future.” ”
Cui Dongshan’s resentmentSaid: "That is the sad place for students."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You asked for a beating, and you still have to grin with a bruised nose and swollen face."
Cui Dongshan said helplessly: "Mr. It’s not fair.”
When the ferry entered the boundary of the Skeleton Beach, Song Lanqiao took the initiative to come to the door, carrying a heavy gift.
That’s two copies.
He has a share for himself, and Chunlu Putanling has a share.
His gift of thanks was actually a magic weapon selected by his mentor Lin Chao from the Ancestral Master Hall. It was a bamboo and yellow dragon-patterned scripture book box made of Chunlupu's specialty fairy wood. It also contained Four jade albums.
Tan Ling's gift is even more valuable. It is one of the treasures on the mountain that can be counted with both hands in Chunlu Po, a set of eight ingots of brocade ink.
When he handed it over, Song Lanqiao felt sorry for Tan Ling.
Chen Ping'an did not refuse, and Tan Ling did not personally deliver the gift at Fu Shuidu. He ordered Song Lanqiao to deliver it when he was about to dock at the Skull Beach ferry. This in itself was sincerity.
This was Song Lanqiao's first public and family matter after becoming a member of Chunlupu Ancestral Master Hall. It went smoothly, which made Song Lanqiao relieved.
Just sitting and drinking tea with the couple of students, Song Lanqiao felt a little restless, especially with Cui Dongshan sitting next to him.
Cui Dongshan twisted the cup with two fingers, wiped it gently on the table, and smiled, "Lan Qiao, there are so many poor people in the world who can't find the temple with their pig heads. Lan Qiao, you are lucky." ”
Song Lanqiao was listening to Chen Ping’an calling him Senior Song a moment ago, but now he was being beaten by his students on the left and right, and of course he felt awkward.
Chunlu Pu treats people with sincerity, and Chen Pingan certainly will not let Cui Dongshan make jokes here. He waved his hand to indicate that he had something to discuss with Song Lanqiao.
Unexpectedly, with just such an action, the next scene would make Song Lanqiao sweat drip from his forehead.
The young man in white seemed to have been slapped by Chen Pingan and was knocked out. He and the chair spun countless times in the air. In the end, he and the chair just stuck to the wall and slowly slid down. Cui Dongshan looked sad. , the chair was against the wall, the person was leaning against the chair, and he said timidly: "The students can just sit here."
Chen Pingan had a dark face.
Song Lanqiao was shocked. Could it be that this kind-hearted Chen Jianxian was just like Taihui Sword Sect Liu Jinglong? He was not an earthly immortal at all, but a hidden Jade Pure Realm swordsman. ?
Chen Pingan was too lazy to pay attention to this Cui Dongshan, and began to discuss with Song Lanqiao Zheng'er Bajing, trying to negotiate the future cooperation between Luo Luoshan and Chunlu Pu. It was just a general framework and direction, and Song Lanqiao definitely couldn't do it now. Lord, we still need to return to the ancestral hall to have a few quarrels. Once the two parties finally decide to cooperate, Luopo Mountain will also need Zhu Lian and Wei Bo to set the rules for all specific matters in the future. Chen Ping'an knew a lot about Chunlu Pu's business, so he started chatting with Song Lanqiao. Okay, isn't his Baofuzhai?For nothing. The biggest support of Luolu Mountain is of course the Niujiaoshan Ferry as an important hub of operation. With Wei Dashanjun at Piyun Mountain, the Niujiaoshan Ferry can accommodate most of the Beiju Luzhou cross-continental ferries, which is equivalent to a Baofengzhai now has a shop, and all the money in the world stops somewhere for a while and then circulates, which is how money begets money.
Occasionally, Chen Ping'an would even think about how many monks a worn-out snowflake had seen. A thousand? Ten thousand? Could it be that he has traveled all over the nine continents of the world?
Song Lanqiao was concentrating on chatting with Chen Ping'an about important matters. Somehow, the old Jindan monk even felt that what he talked about today would very likely determine the general trend of Chunlu Garden in the next hundred years.
Then Song Lanqiao saw Chen Jianxian glance at the wall opposite.
Song Lanqiao followed his gaze and saw that the young man in white was holding the handle of the chair with both hands. He was swaying, and the chair was swaying from side to side, as if using the chair legs as human feet, he was staggering. .
After being discovered by his husband, Cui Dongshan immediately stopped his movements, raised his head and whistled.
Song Lanqiao smiled politely and looked away.
Is this guy mentally ill? It must be!
Chen Pingan and Song Lanqiao chatted for a full hour. Both sides raised many possibilities and had a great time talking.
When Song Lanqiao came to the back, he relaxed a lot and got into a better state. Many thoughts that had been accumulated for many years but could not be expressed could be expressed quickly. Young Jian, who was sitting opposite, often added tea to both parties. Xian is a rare businessman, and his words never say categorically whether it's okay or not. Most of them are "Something is unclear here, please explain it in more detail, Senior Song", "I have some different ideas about this matter, Senior Song." Listen, if you have any objections, please speak up." Such gentle words were used, but the other party was unambiguous. Some of Song Lanqiao's small measures to dig holes for Gao Song were not revealed by the young swordsman in person. He only said, "Senior Song may need to do this. Please pay more attention to Chunlupu Patriarch Hall."
The boy in white had been doing nothing, rocking the chair and circling around the table. Fortunately, when the chair walked, it was silent and did not make any movement.
Song Lanqiao could already turn a blind eye.
After the chat, Song Lanqiao felt refreshed and there was no tea left on the table. Although she still had some unfinished thoughts, she still stood up and left.
Song Lanqiao told Mr. Chen not to send him away. The young man smiled and nodded, and just sent him to the door of the house, asking Cui Dongshan to see him off.
After Song Lanqiao walked into the corridor, he did not see the swordsman in blue, but only a beautiful young man in white. Old Jindan immediately felt his heart tightening.
The young man walked backwards, closed the door gently, and then turned to look at Song Lanqiao with a smile.
Song Lanqiao's smile began to stiffen.
Cui Dongshan came to Song Lanqiao who was bending down subconsciously, jumped up and hugged Song Lanqiao's neck, pulling theThe old Jindan walked forward together, "Brother Lanqiao, you are eloquent and full of witty words."
Song Lanqiao almost couldn't help but call Mr. Chen to help him out.
Song Lanqiao suddenly felt frightened and wanted to stop, but he didn't expect that he couldn't do it. He was dragged by the young man with little strength. After taking one step, Song Lanqiao knew that something was wrong.
The next moment, the boy in white had disappeared.
Song Lanqiao found himself in a vast white mist, with no scenery around him, just like a small dead world. The sight was filled with a chilling snow-white color, and when walking, his feet were slightly visible. It is soft, but not like any other soil in the world. If you put a little more force on your steps, you can only make circles of ripples.
He cautiously started walking on foot. After burning a stick of incense, he began to control the wind. An hour later, Song Lanqiao still offered up the magic weapon. No longer caring about any etiquette or disrespect, he began to pour out the treasure light and smash it wildly. Still unable to change this small world at all, a year later, Song Lanqiao sat cross-legged, with a haggard face, ready to die.
In an instant, Song Lanqiao raised his head and saw a huge head. The young man's face was obviously smiling, but his eyes were cold. He slowly raised his arm.
Song Lanqiao’s scalp was numb. It turned out that he had been spinning on the opponent’s snow-white sleeves?
The next moment Song Lanqiao, who was haggard, found himself standing in the ferry corridor. The young man not far away had his hands in his sleeves and looked at him with a smile.
Song Lanqiao, who survived the disaster, almost burst into tears.
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "My husband asked me to give him a ride, so I took it upon myself to give him a little longer. Lan Qiao, please don't complain to my husband afterwards. Otherwise, it will be ten or a hundred years before I see you off. It will be hard to tell who is mentally ill."
Song Lanqiao said tremblingly, "Thank you, senior."
Cui Dongshan asked: "I am used to the abundant aura in Chunlu Garden, and I am used to the thin aura on the ferry. Why am I not used to it in a place of lawlessness?"
Song Lanqiao was stunned.
Cui Dongshan passed by him, patted Song Lanqiao on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Lan Qiao, the cultivation of the mind is crumbly, and the golden elixir is papery."
Song Lanqiao is slow. He slowly turned around and bowed in thanks, this time he was sincerely convinced, "The teachings of the elders have allowed the younger generation to see the halo of the moon as if it were a puzzle. They have not yet truly seen the bright moon, but it is also of great benefit."
Cui Dongshan ignored it and knocked. Door, "Sir, would you like to bring you some fruits and tea?"
Song Lanqiao looked at the profile of the young man's face, and the old man felt as if he was in another world.
Chen Pingan opened the door, held Cui Dongshan's head, pressed it down gently, turned to Song Lanqiao and asked: "Senior Song, am I, my disciple, disrespectful to you?"
Song Lanqiao didn't know whether he was mad or because he was blessed, but he said something that he would never dare to say even if he was beaten to death in the past, "To be honest, it's unspeakable."
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, "I know. "
The young man in white was grabbed by the ears, howling and dragged into the house by Chen Ping'an.
There were still curses: "Song Lanqiao, you bastard, you have no conscience." Damn it, you wait for me... Sir, I was helping brother Lan Qiao practice with good intentions. I really didn't play tricks on him... Sir, I was wrong! ”
Song Lanqiao shook his sleeves and strode away.
Comfortable.
————
The boat stopped at the Skull Beach Ferry , Song Lanqiao simply didn't show up and asked someone to see him off. He made an excuse and disappeared early.
Cui Dongshan rubbed his chin with his palm and looked around.
The two got off the boat and went to Pima Zong Muyi Mountain together.
Cui Dongshan began to complain, "Sir, when Zhu Quan met me, he said that he never mentioned students. Pretending not to know me made me very sad. ”
Chen Ping’an smiled and said: “I mentioned you a few times to Sect Master Zhu, but I am the master of a sect and cares about everything. I also need to be careful of the entire Ghost Valley, so I accidentally forgot about it.” , there is nothing strange about it. "
Then Chen Ping'an reminded: "Master Zhu is a rare cultivator in the mountain, and I respect him very much. When we get to Muyi Mountain, don't make any trouble for me. And that young man Pang Lanxi is the direct descendant of the ancestral hall who Muyishan has high hopes for. You are an outsider, so don't talk nonsense. I know you actually do things in a measured way, but after all, this is the beach of bones, not the mountain of desolation. ”
Cui Dongshan nodded and glanced at Muyi Mountain, feeling a little regretful.
With nothing to do, it’s a bit boring.
Arrived at Muyi Mountain On the other side of Yishan Mountain Gate, there is no obstruction. Chen Ping'an and most of the Pima Sect monks know each other, and they have returned from traveling not long ago.
Zhu Quan is not on the mountain, and has already gone to Qinglu Town in Guixi Valley.
p>However, Du Wensi has returned to the Ancestral Master Hall and has begun to retreat to break through the realm and become a Nascent Soul. There is great hope.
Cui Dongshan mentioned Du Wensi and said with a smile: "Sir, this kid is infatuated. It is said that Huang Ting, the crown prince of Taiping Mountain, went to the Ghost Valley before, and she went there just for Du Wensi. She just didn't want Du Wensi to think too much, so she said, "I, Huang Ting, have no Taoist companion in this life." It was heartbreaking. Although Du Wensi was sad, he still had some small thoughts. He couldn't have the girl he longed for. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about being owned by other men. It was a blessing in misfortune, so Du Wensi began to think about it. After thinking about it, I feel that my level is still not high, but if I am enough, I will have some opportunities, such as visiting Taiping Mountain in the future, or going one step further and traveling the mountains and rivers with Huang Ting..."
< p>Chen Pingan smiled and said: "You haven't been in Muyi Mountain for a few days, and you already know everything about it? "Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "It's just a wandering. There is no difference between the mountains and the mountains. When everyone has free time, they like to talk about the love between children and crazy men and women. Especially oneThe young female cultivators who admired Du Wensi were even worse than Du Wensi. They all complained and said what was so great about Huang Ting was that he was in a higher realm, good-looking, and had a bigger sect..."< /p>
Muyi Mountain, the main peak of Pima Sect, is similar to the peak where most of the Immortal Family’s Ancestral Halls are located. Most of the climbing paths are straight up.
It’s just that the direct disciples can often ride the wind and sword. Yes, there are some mountains where even ordinary disciples have no taboos. However, in the Xianjia Cave, each bird has its own way, with different heights and different routes. , coupled with Longquan Sword Sect and Luopo Mountain, there are not many disciples in the first place, and they don't pay much attention to these red tapes, so they appear to be very different. When replaced by time-honored immortal schools such as Pima Sect and Chunlu Pu, they have many rules and strict laws. In Chen Ping'an's view, it is actually a good thing.
It's just that there is no such thing as a one-and-done solution. The reason why Chunlu Garden is so unsettling is that the patriarchal laws and rules on paper have not really taken root in people's hearts. .
At this point, Pima Sect makes Chen Pingan sincerely admire him. From the sect leader Zhu Quan, to Du Wensi, to Pang Lanxi, they all have different temperaments, but they have the same demeanor.
Life and death are small matters, but the sect is a big matter.
People who practice Taoism obviously pursue immortality, but everyone in the Pima Sect dares to die for the sect. Zhu Quan. With all the sect masters and ancestors of the past, whenever there is a life-and-death battle, he will set an example and be willing to die first!
The Patriarch of the Pi Ma Sect walked down the steps and came in the wind, falling in front of the two of them, the old man and the two of them. The man smiled and said: "Master Chen, Taoist friend Cui, we are missing you and we are far away. "
After greeting him, Chen Ping'an discovered something strange. This old patriarch of the Pima Sect seemed to be very close to Cui Dongshan, and he seemed to be a confidant between words.
Could it be that Cui Dongshan Was he not just wandering around on Muyi Mountain?
Otherwise, even if Cui Dongshan fought with Jingguan City, he would not be so impressed by the Patriarch of Zhang Lu. All of them were monks who were fighting their way through the pile of bones. Even the seemingly gentle and gentle Jindan monk like Du Wensi had been fighting in the Ghost Valley for a long time.
The old master personally led the two of them there. The house where Chen Ping'an lived.
The cross-continental ferry from the Pima Sect that travels between Bone Beach and Old Dragon City will take about ten more years to return to Beiju Luzhou.
Pang Lanxi and his great-grandfather Pang Shanling were already standing at the door
The young man smiled and waved: "Mr. Chen! "
When the two met, Pang Lanxi's first words were to announce the good news, and whispered: "Mr. Chen, I have asked my great-grandfather for you and brought two sets of pictures of goddesses. ”
Chen Ping’an asked softly: “What’s the price?” "
Pang Lanxi smiled and said: "According to the market price..."
Pang Lanxi paused, "It's impossible! Delivery, no charge! ”
Chen Ping’an smiled and said: “Master Pang Xian feels very sorry for you.But let's calculate it according to the market price. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. "
Pang Lanxi was a little disappointed, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is Mr. Chen so out of touch? "
Chen Ping'an lowered his voice and said: "It's a polite word and it doesn't cost anything. You're polite first, and I'm polite too, and then we don't need to be polite anymore. "
Pang Lanxi smiled from ear to ear.
Learned again.
Mr. Chen is really knowledgeable.
The four of them Sitting down, Pang Lanxi was the youngest and the lowest senior, standing behind his great-grandfather.
Chen Pingan went straight to the topic and talked about Chunlu Garden.
The man named Chunlu Garden. Yan Su's Patriarch of the Pi Ma Sect immediately flew his sword to summon a Nascent Soul monk on a mountain elsewhere, named Wei Yusong. He was one generation younger than Yan Su, but not too young. He was a fellow disciple with Pang Lanxi. Wei Yusong holds a fortune, similar to Gao Song of Chunlu Pu. He is a thin, short and capable old man. After meeting Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan, he was very polite.
Since Zhuquan became a man with Luo Luo. After the small business at Niujiaoshan Ferry, the first thing he did was to talk to Wei Yusong. On the surface, he wanted to care about Wei Yusong's spiritual practice as the sect leader. In fact, of course he wanted to take credit. Wei Yusong couldn't laugh or cry, so he just said half a sentence. He didn't even talk nonsense, but it made Zhu Quan extremely frustrated. Wei Yusong could only say that he had a good impression of the young man in green shirt, but there was nothing else about him.
The young-looking Taoist Cui was so impressed that he fell to the ground with admiration. The reason was very simple. After Cui arrived at Muyi Mountain, he wandered up and down the mountain for two days. Then he found the Pima Sect Patriarch Hall and gave him a large stack of blueprints. He spoke straightforwardly about the protection of Muyi Mountain. The Shanda Formation was a little rough, and the combat power of the heroic spirits was somewhat wasted. As a result, after the Muyi Mountain Ancestral Master Hall gathered, they also invited an old priest who was a Mohist organ master, and found that the Muyi should be modified according to Cui Daoyou's drawings. The Shanda Formation only costs a thousand Grain Rain coins, and can increase the power of the Formation by 20%! The Mohist Mechanic was so ashamed that he almost resigned from the title of enshrinement after diligently completing the inspection and filling the gaps in the Formation.
To be honest, even if it only increases the power of the mountain guarding formation by 10%, even if it only increases the power of the mountain guarding formation by 10%, let alone the small expense of a thousand Grain Rain coins. It's a good deal that deserves to be proclaimed to the ancestors.
So the old monks of the Pima Sect's Ancestral Hall regard Cui Dongshan as much as they like.
Especially. When the young man in white dropped the drawings and talked about some key matters in the Patriarch Hall, he walked away struttingly and continued to wander around Muyi Mountain, chatting with the immortal sisters.
Afterwards, Zhu Quan came forward in person. Ask Cui Dongshan how the Pima Sect should repay this matter. As long as Cui Dongshan opens his mouth, the Pima Sect will sell iron and make credit with others, and they have to pay back the incense.
Cui Dongshan doesn't have it either. You're welcome,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Named Du Wensi and Pang LanxiIn the future, after each person reaches the Nascent Soul realm, they will serve as registered worshipers in Luopo Mountain. They are just registered. Luopo Mountain will not ask these two people to do anything unless they are willing.
Zhu Quan was still a little confused at the time, was that it?
Cui Dongshan asked, what kind of trouble is going on?
Zhu Quan's face was full of guilt at that time, and he said something that pierced his heart, and sighed: "Well Chen Ping'an, it's really shameful for me not to mention you as a student at all, your conscience is eaten by a dog. , next time he comes to Bone Beach, I will scold him for you."
Cui Dongshan was about to cry and said pitifully: "Sister Zhu, your conscience must have been eaten by a dog."
p>
Zhu Quan then said something fair, "Chen Ping'an should be proud to have a student like you."
Cui Dongshan reciprocated, "Sister Zhu is such a good woman, now There is no Taoist companion, and God cannot tolerate it."
So the two almost started fighting, and Zhu Quan was still angry when he went to Qinglu Town in Guixi Valley.
Wei Yusong is a smart man who is familiar with business. Otherwise, for an obscure sect leader like Zhu Quan or an unreliable old master like Yan Su, no matter how few direct disciples the Pima Sect has, they would have been dismissed by the capital long ago. Guancheng cut the flesh with a blunt knife and wiped away all the sect's heritage. Every time Wei Yusong discusses matters in the Patriarch Hall, even when facing Zhu Quan and his mentor Yan Su, he never smiles. He likes to bring his account books to discuss matters, and while flipping through the account books, he says harsh words, one sentence after another, over time. , he said that the seniors of the Zushi Hall all smiled and pretended not to hear, just get used to it.
Wei Yusong felt that there was no problem in helping Chunlupu transport goods to Aquarius Island, but he had to work hard on the issue of dividing accounts.
When Wei Yusong was about to settle accounts, Yan Su and Pang Shanling began to smile habitually. Cui Dongshan felt that he had no place to talk at the moment, so he winked at Pang Lanxi. Pang Lanxi was attracted by this handsome man. I am very wary of "peers" who are shameless. After all, it is the nature of a teenager to worry about the girl who is my childhood sweetheart. When she meets a better peer, she will inevitably have some thoughts. Especially when she went down the mountain to meet her in the Mural City, she casually chatted about this foreign boy who came to the shop to buy pictures of goddesses. Although she said ordinary words about a boy with a weird temper, Pang Lanxi felt a bucket of water in his heart. Eight times.
Pang Lanxi has been almost dying of worry lately.
So I especially want to ask Mr. Chen for advice.
Chen Ping'an, the wild cultivator of Baofengzhai, and Wei Yusong, who was in charge of all the Pima Sect's money, each committed suicide.
Even Chen Pingan was a little helpless.
This Wei Yusong is really stingy.
There is no trace of the demeanor of the Immortal Master with the prefix Zong.
Once there are some difficult details, Wei Yusong will bring out a distant traveling ancestor other than Yan Su. Anyway, he is just throwing dirty water and talking about how this ancestor is so old-fashioned and pedantic, and how he is in every situation. Ke Xue spends money with baht, and if there is something that harms the interests of the sect, even if it is just a suspicion, this ancestor will ask questions in the ancestral hall.No one will give face to sin. He, Wei Yusong, has the lowest status in the Pima Sect. Anyone who asks for money from him will have a loud voice. If he doesn't give it, he will fall out. All of them are either relying on their high cultivation or seniority, and some are even more shameless. Relying on his low seniority and low cultivation level, he can cause trouble.
Anyway, listening to Wei Yusong's complaints, it seems that in the entire Pima Sect, Wei Yusong is the least useful person and his words are the least effective.
So Chen Pingan was at a loss. He gently put down the teacup and coughed.
Cui Dongshan, who was yawning, immediately sat upright and said, "There is actually room for improvement regarding the Muyi Mountain Mountain Protection Formation."
Wei Yusong patted the table, "All According to Mr. Chen, it’s settled!"
Chen Pingan asked with sincerity: "Will it make it difficult for Pima Sect to be a good person?"
Wei Yusong? Dayi said solemnly: "Are you kidding? As long as the Pima Sect has money-related matters, let alone the leader of Zhu, I, the King of Heaven, can't control me, Wei Yusong!"
Chen Pingan pretended to be surprised and nodded with a smile. .
Wei Yusong’s smile did not change.
They are indeed like-minded people.
————
Wei Yusong left with Yan Su and Pang Shanling.
Wei Yusong insisted on reminiscing with fellow Taoist Cui, so Cui Dongshan had no choice but to follow him.
Only Chen Pingan and Pang Lanxi were left. After Pang Lanxi sat down, he said softly: "Mr. Chen, is this Senior Cui really your student?"
Chen Pingan nodded. , "It doesn't feel like it, but it's normal."
Pang Lanxi hesitated to speak.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If it's hard to ask for help, then..."
Chen Pingan stopped talking, raised his hands and gestured.
Pang Lanxi immediately understood that it was a picture of a goddess in the corridor.
Pang Lanxi left in a hurry, returned to the house in a hurry, and placed the two wooden boxes on the table.
In addition, there is also a letter sent from Yunshang City. The recipient is Pang Lanxi and it is addressed to "Good Man Chen".
Chen Pingan put the letter into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Do you have the confidence to speak now?"
Pang Lanxi whispered: "Mr. Chen, I am a little worried."
Chen Pingan understood clearly.
Pang Lanxi is a young man who doesn’t have to worry about practicing. The young man on the mountain is worried. If the worry is not about practicing Taoism, then it can only be the survival of the sect. However, Pima Sect cannot say that it has this hidden worry, or that it has always been a hidden danger. Heavy, but all the monks have become accustomed to it, so that's the only thing left.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "You tell me first, and I will help you analyze it."
Pang Lanxi just said those things, but in fact it was nothing.
It’s just that young people are ignorant of emotions and sometimes wander around mountains and rivers. It’s not just girls who do this thousands of times.
After Chen Pingan heard this, he thought about it, held back his laughter, and said: "Don't worry, the girl you like will definitely notWhen you meet someone, you will be moved by your feelings, and you will fall in love with Cui Dongshan, and Cui Dongshan also doesn't like your beloved girl. "
Pang Lanxi blushed and said with great annoyance: "Mr. Chen, I'm going to be angry. What does it mean that Cui Dongshan doesn't like her?" ! ”
Why is Mr. Chen so unable to speak!
It wasn’t like this before.
Chen Ping’an couldn’t help laughing.
< p>Pang Lanxi thought about it and scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.The knot in his heart disappeared.
Not only that, deep down in his heart, the young man felt that he must be aggrieved. To practice well, you must know that your girl likes you, she is definitely not wrong about the person, and you will never regret it in your life.
Chen Pingan then said: "That girl likes you, not because of you Pang Lanxi. You are a monastic genius, but if you can prove that you are a real monastic genius, then the girl who likes you will be even more happy, happy for you, and then she will be happy herself. "
Pang Lanxi asked softly: "Is that so? "
Chen Pingan nodded, "That's right, I'm extremely sure about this. "
Pang Lanxi lay on the table, stunned.
Chen Pingan opened the wooden box, took out a volume of pictures of goddesses, spread them out on the table, and looked at them carefully. As expected of Pang Lanxi, Shanling's proud work
Pang Lanxi suddenly asked: "Mr. Chen, there must be many girls who like you, right? "
Chen Pingan slowly put away the picture of the goddess, shook his head and said: "It's nothing. "
Pang Lanxi shook his head, "I don't believe it. ”
Chen Ping’an opened the letter from Xu Xingjiu and spoke concisely and concisely about the current situation in Yun Shang City. He was already ready. He would only wait for Mr. Liu’s sword inquiry to succeed and then pay another visit to Tai. Hui Jian Sect, this time we will go down the mountain for training, from Tai Hui Sword Sect in the north to Bone Beach in the south.
Chen Pingan read the letter and said, "I have a friend who is the writer of the letter. Xu Xingjiu in Yunshang City, he may come here to travel in the future. If you are free at that time, you can help me entertain him. If you are busy, there is no need to deliberately distract yourself. These are not polite words. If you are not my friend, you will definitely be your friend, so there is no need to force it. "
Pang Lanxi nodded in agreement and said: "Okay, then I will send a letter to Yunshang City first to make an appointment. Whether we can become friends or not will be decided when we meet in person. ”
Mr. Chen’s friends are definitely worth making.
Just like when Mr. Chen and Brother Wei discussed Chunlu Garden earlier, although Pang Lanxi was not familiar with common affairs, the Pima Sect monks were So much, I understand to some extent the Pima Sect's attitude towards Chunlu Garden. I can't say I look down on them, but I definitely can't call them friends. They are just business contacts. After all, the smell of copper in Chunlu Garden is a bit stronger, and the monks of the Pima Sect , I don’t like these very much, so Chunlupu has always wanted to honor Wei Yusong for so many years, but did not dare to go too far. Moreover, Song Lanqiao, who is in charge of the Chunlupu ferry, has no relationship with Yuanying Wei Yusong. After all, Wei Yusong is in Pima Sect, and he doesn't speak very fluently.He is aloof and notoriously difficult to talk to.
But when Mr. Chen asked the three forces to do cross-continental business together, Pang Lanxi found that Senior Brother Wei was relaxed from the beginning and had no intention of refusing.
Pang Lanxi feels that this is what she needs to learn from Mr. Chen.
He has a lot of knowledge in dealing with people.
Chen Pingan finally said: "Did you know that when you are worried about Cui Dongshan, the girl you like is actually the happiest time, so she smiles more than usual? You must think clearly about this, because she really feels your nervousness."
Pang Lanxi turned from worry to joy and smiled brightly.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Why are you still standing there? Just pretend to be a public servant and go to the bottom of the mountain to see her."
Pang Lanxi stood up and said, "If I had known better, I would have given more to Mr. Chen." I want a set of pictures of goddesses."
The young man left.
Chen Pingan sits alone.
After a long time, Cui Dongshan entered the yard with two big sleeves dangling.
As a result, I saw a blue brick placed on the table in front of my husband.
Cui Dongshan was a little flustered and immediately stopped and stood on the spot, "Sir, I didn't know anything about Pei Qian practicing martial arts in advance. It was Zhu Lian, Zheng Dafeng and Wei Bo who knew about it but didn't report it." , Hiding it from sir, it has nothing to do with the student!"
Chen Ping'an said angrily: "It has nothing to do with it. Every injustice has its owner, and I won't cause trouble for you."< /p>
Cui Dongshan immediately smiled and said, "Sir, if you want to teach the three of them a lesson, the students can help."
Chen Ping'an ignored this and pointed to the piece of wood that was not yet in the mountain temple. The Taoist blue bricks, which had completely refined the water transport and Taoism, said: "I have gathered a total of thirty-six of these green bricks. I plan to spread them on the ground at Luopo Mountain for six people to practice boxing. I, Pei Qian, Zhu Lian, Zheng Dafeng, Lu Baixiang, Cen Yuanji."
Cui Dongshan stretched out his right hand and one finger of his left hand as if he were mourning his concubine, and wailed: "Sir, what about me? What? I'm Mr.'s proud disciple!"
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "I'll give it to you."
Cui Dongshan then stretched out two fingers. He rubbed the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Tears of sadness turned into tears of joy. Sir, this is a stroke of genius."
Chen Ping'an looked at him sideways.
Cui Dongshan sat down honestly.
Chen Pingan pushed the blue brick over and said, "Your handwriting is good. I just remembered this and wanted you to write some pleasant words and carve them on the back of the brick. When the time comes, The two of us laid the green bricks secretly so that no one could see it. Maybe someone might accidentally see it one day, and it would be a small accident. It would be fun. ”
< p>Cui Dongshan's little chicken pecked the rice, sat cross-legged on the stone bench, leaned forward, lay on the table, pressed the green bricks with both hands, and said softly: "Sir, let's sum up these thirty-six sentences. It must be written shockinglyThe earth weeps ghosts and gods. ”Chen Pingan asked: “Do you think we can secretly write a message to everyone in Luolu Mountain and engrave it on it?” As for the rest, you can just transfer the words of the sages from the book as you like. "
Cui Dongshan said happily: "That's good! "
Chen Ping'an said: "Afraid? "
Cui Dongshan said angrily: "Sir, he is so good at telling jokes. "
Chen Ping'an rubbed his chin, "This Luo Shan Feng Shui was ruined by you. "
Cui Dongshan raised his hands and imitated the elder sister's words, "The conscience of heaven and earth! "
————
The two took the cross-continental ferry of the Pima Sect and began to truly return home.
In addition to practicing boxing, Chen Pingan I took the initiative to find Cui Dongshan next door and asked a question
"Confucian sages have so much knowledge, why don't they talk about it in more detail and not so complicatedly on such things as self-cultivation, study, and doing good deeds." , at least within Confucianism, everyone has his own words? There are different opinions, but it is not a quarrel, but it is better than a quarrel. "
For the first time, Cui Dongshan did not flatter others, but looked seriously and asked: "Do you think that many knowledge are complicated and unrealistic, which makes the world at a loss? "
Chen Pingan thought for a while and nodded.
Cui Dongshan shook his head, "Some knowledge should be higher. The reason why humans are different from grass, trees, birds and animals, and from all other living beings, is because of the knowledge hanging above their heads. The knowledge that can be used at any time must be acquired, explained clearly, clearly and in a regular manner. But if there is no knowledge and fascination in the heights, and you go out of your way to have a look, then you are wrong. "
Chen Pingan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "That makes sense. "
Cui Dongshan said slowly: "Let's go back to the first question, sir. ”
Chen Ping’an said: “Don’t worry, I’ll think about it myself.” Shall we play chess? "
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Sir, your chess skills have returned to the original nature and reached the sky. Do you need a disciple like this to teach you? Ashamed, terrified, terrified. "
As he spoke, he took out the chess jar and chessboard.
Chen Ping'an said with a straight face: "From now on, you should talk less in Luolu Mountain. "
Cui Dongshan raised his sleeve with one hand, stretched out his hand to twist a chess piece, hung it in the air, and said with a smile: "Master is silent, how can I dare to speak? "
Chen Ping'an also twisted the chess pieces.
When Cui Dongshan sat in front of the chessboard, his whole aura changed and he said calmly: "Students are bold, Si Wuyou , Zhongtianyuan, plus three side lines, making Mr. Twelve. "
Chen Pingan glanced at Cui Dongshan who was serious, silently put the chess pieces back into the chess jar, got up and left, and left directly.
