Chapter 651: Fifteen years without knowing it

Niujiaoshan Ferry is no longer just a ferry for the Dali military, but more and more commercial ferries are coming and going.

Pei Qian’s eyes lit up when he saw it. They were all fairy money rolling into Master’s pocket.

This "far trip" was on her own territory, so the little girl in black next to Pei Qian, carrying a small pole on her shoulders and holding a hiking pole, felt that she could not be more impressive.

Zhou Mili still felt a little regretful that he could not put two pieces of paper on his forehead, one writing about the guardian of the fallen mountain right, and the other writing about the big water monster of the mute lake.

Chen Nuanshu was not far away, talking about trivial things with Chen Lingjun who was about to leave for Beiju Luzhou, and Chen Lingjun kept yawning.

Pei Qian crossed his arms across his chest, looked around, looked at the master's great land, and nodded lightly, feeling very satisfied.

Zhou Mili asked softly: "Chen Lingjun is about to leave, why don't we say a few words? If we squeeze out more tears, it seems more sincere."

Pei Qian rolled his eyes. Said: "Those tenets of Luopo Mountain, are you eating them as rice in a bowl?"

Pei Qian freed up his hand, touched the head of the little winter melon, and said sincerely: "My master said However, the truth is that the big white bowl and other external objects are the food inside. As long as the bowl is not lost, you can always eat. So what is the truth? I can't figure it out, Mi Li, you are so confused. You’re too broad-minded, so we just need to remember the mountain rules of Luolu Mountain, and there will be nothing wrong.”

Zhou Mili frowned, then quickly relaxed, understanding. He said softly: "As soon as we talked to Chen Lingjun, we had to give him a farewell gift, but we didn't win! Our relationship is so good anyway, so don't make it up!"

Pei Qian tugged at the millet grains. On his cheeks, he smiled and said, "What the hell."

Zhou Mili laughed along with him.

Pei Qian stood on the spot, took a deep breath, and then punched very short and very slowly. He muttered to himself: "Pinch a needle with your finger, sweep a large area with your fist, punch like an arrow, and then close it." The punch is like a flying sword..."

Zhou Mili asked: "What?"

Pei Qian still punched slowly and said seriously: "After the crazy sword technique, I I also created a unique set of boxing techniques. I made up all the formulas myself. They are so powerful.”

Then Pei Qian started talking nonsense, “Except for my master’s boxing technique, the two are the strongest in the world. The two are also very strong, one is a self-taught Wang Baquan, and the other is a disciple of the Tianqiao sect."

Zhou Mili felt that he was not stupid, but he was just doubtful, "How is your boxing technique so powerful? After practicing boxing, can you fly around?"

Pei Qian said angrily: "That can only be done by a martial artist from the Far Traveling Realm. I'm still early. I won't be able to do it in just a few years. ."

Zhou Mili stamped his feet and said angrily: "It took so long! How many melon seeds did it take to become a master?"

Pei Qian said helplessly: "You think it's easy to become a martial artist in the Eighth Realm? "

Zhou Mili was stunned, holding the hiking stick in his arms and stretching out his hand to scratch it.He scratched his cheek and said, "But you are Pei Qian."

Pei Qian smiled brightly, withdrew his fist, held down Xiao Mili's head, and shook it, "You are such a big-headed kid, don't you look at it?" "Why are you so enlightened?"

Zhou Mili shook his head for a long time and suddenly sighed, "Why doesn't the mountain master go home?"

Pei Qian smiled. He smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? On the other side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, because Master helped you spread the word, there are now many stories about the big water monster of Dumb Lake being circulated. That is another world! You, just secretly Have fun."

Zhou Mili started scratching his cheek again, "But I would rather he stop telling the story and come back soon."

Pei Qian made a face, "My master. When you get home, why don't you treat him to pickled fish?"

Zhou Mili frowned and said timidly: "If you don't want to eat in a big bowl, why not eat in a small bowl?"

Pei Qian was happy, but also a little sad.

When you grow up, it is difficult to be like before. Sorrows, big and small, are always like guests visiting your heart. They come and go as quickly as they come.

In the past, Pei Qian didn't quite understand why his master didn't want him and Sister Aquarius to grow up quickly.

Looking at the millet grains now, Pei Qian understood.

Chen Lingjun was about to board the cross-continental ferry. Pei Qian patted Zhou Mili on the head and said, "Let's go and say goodbye. Remember, master said that if a friend takes the Xianjia ferry for a long distance, "You, we can't say it's a smooth journey."

Zhou Mili nodded vigorously, "I know, I know!" Say goodbye to him.

Chen Lingjun was a little uncomfortable with it, but even though he was a little awkward, he was still a little happy, but he just didn't want to show his feelings on his face.

After Chen Lingjun left.

Pei Qian and the others waited until the ferry passed through the sea of ​​clouds before returning to Luolu Mountain.

Chen Nuanshu turned his head and looked at the sea of ​​clouds.

Pei Qian said softly: "Don't worry, it'll be okay. Even if Chen Lingjun doesn't seem to be upright, he's actually quite smart."

Chen Nuanshu smiled, and Pei Qian held hands. Get a little girl.

Now Pei Qian is much taller than them.

Finally like a girl.

Chen Lingjun was in the ferry room, doing nothing but lying on the table in a daze.

In fact, Chen Lingjun regretted it the moment he stepped on the Pima Sect cross-continental ferry at Niujiaoshan Ferry. I really want to jump off the ferry and sneak back. Anyway, the Luoposhan family has a lot of business and territory now. I can just find a place to hide. Wei Bo is probably annoyed by seeing him, and he may not be willing to talk about it with the old cook, Pei Qian and the others. , a few days later, I will go to Luopo Mountain to show up again, I will find any excuse to fool him, I will forget to turn to the almanac to pick an auspicious day, I will not be worried about going to Huanghu Mountain, I will forget to go to Yujiang to say goodbye to my friends in the world, and I will concentrate on, work hard at home, There is actually nothing wrong with practicing diligently...

There is a bigBamboo box, in fact, Wei Dashanjun was rarely generous and lent him a very close item.

In the bamboo box, there are many maps of the Luzhou situation in Beiju, drawn by the Immortal Family on the mountain, as well as many secrets of the imperial government, plus a lot of messy local chronicles, and Chen Ping'an. The several booklets I wrote by myself are full of small and large things to note. In the words of the old cook, they have all been written down except where I have peed and pooped. If I still can't succeed, I will drown myself. Deadly pull down.

Chen Lingjun is actually still afraid.

In the past, when I was on the Yujiang River in Huangting Kingdom, I actually didn’t like to move around. I recognized the Yujiang Water God as my brother, and they acted arrogantly together. But when they arrived at Luopo Mountain, they still didn’t move around. Occasionally, he would go to Hongzhu Town for a stroll. Chen Lingjun would only visit the mountains and mountains of Luopo Mountain, chatting with the old immortal masters in his neighborhood. He took the black snake and swaggered around various places. Carefree and at ease.

Since the blind old Taoist named Jia Sheng moved from Qilong Lane to Jie Mao in Huanghu Mountain to practice, Chen Lingjun has been a frequent visitor and has become very popular. If bragging really works, the whole world will be like this. It's their private garden.

However, Chen Lingjun now also knows that the reason why the other party praises him so much is because of Chen Ping'an.

Chen Lingjun doesn’t dislike this kind of thing, he quite likes it.

No matter how good the atmosphere of Luolu Mountain is, it is still inevitable that there will be people near and far away who will be divided into those who come first and those who arrive first.

He and Nuanshu, that stupid little melon seed, are after all the earliest "old men" in Luoluo Mountain.

Later, there were the old cook, Pei Qian, Shi Rou, the silly Cen Yuanji, Hanniuer Yuanbao, and the second idiot Yuan Lai, because the big idiot was Cao Qinglang,

Later, Chen Pingan abducted a millet grain from Beiju Luzhou.

Sometimes Chen Lingjun himself felt that guys like Old Chef Wei Bo looked down on him and blamed them for their high-mindedness. He really blamed himself for not being motivated, for liking to wait until death, bragging and spanking.

There are many people, it’s lively, it’s great.

I was so lonely that I went all the way to Beiju Luzhou to practice as a hammer.

What about Skeleton Beach, Pima Sect, Mural City, Zhuquan, the sect leader, and two Luoluoshan named worshipers, what about Mute Lake, Willow Zhiqing, Chunlu Garden, Yunshang City, and that Jidu River , the Dragon Palace Cave in the middle, the westernmost mountain, plus Lion Peak, Li Er and his wife, Li Huai and his sister Li Liu. Her brother Li Xisheng is Xiaobaoping.

The master is his friend, a fire temple, Liu Jinglong of the Taihui Sword Sect, and his disciple Xiao Baitou.

Is this me practicing for a bright future? How about going door-to-door and delivering gifts?

It’s impossible not to hop on a ferry!

Chen Lingjun packed his luggage and slipped from the second floor to the first floor of the ferry. As a result, Wei Bo appeared out of thin air near the railing of the ferry.

Chen Lingjun laughed and said: "Wei Dashanjun, why are you so polite? You don't need to send me away."

Wei BoHe smiled and said: "The territory of Beiyue is under my jurisdiction, have you forgotten?"

Chen Lingjun ran to rub the tiger's arm: "How dare you forget this, even if you have urine?" I am holding back, for fear of tarnishing the great rivers and mountains of Beiyue!"

Wei Bo said: "The mountain of Beiyue Prince is located at the northernmost point of Aquarius Continent. I will say hello to the mountain god and watch the ferry. Go to the sea. If you don't wait too long, I won't care. You can go back slowly. As for landing at the border of Dongyue, it depends on your mood."

Chen Lingjun was dumbfounded. .

————

The prosperous Qingfeng City has been singing and dancing for hundreds of years. Dynasties have changed, and the mountains and rivers have changed colors. The Qingfeng City built at the foot of the mountain has always remained unchanged. Since then, emperors and monarchs have always treated Xu with great respect.

Because of a great good relationship formed by their ancestors, the Xu family was able to sit in a fox kingdom, which was worth half of a blessed land.

It is rumored that the fox fairy that the ancestor of the Xu family met already had seven tails, but I don’t know if there is one more tail now.

The fox fur beauties produced abundantly by the Xu family in Qingfeng City are expensive, rare and in short supply.

It is a unique feature of Aquarius Continent. As the cross-continental ferries from Beiju Luzhou become more frequent, the Xu family in Qingfeng City becomes stronger and stronger. Especially in the past few years, the head of the Xu family has changed his ancestral tradition. , let the Fox Kingdom open the Mirror Flowers, Water Moon, and directly double the price of a fox skin talisman.

Xu hired masters of painting to draw four beauties, eighteen ladies, or carefully engrave or copy them, plus scattered four princes in the study, folding fans, once they were launched, they were all Sold out.

Some of the immortal families on the mountain who have no dealings with Qingfeng City have some sour remarks. The Xu family is the only one who has not sold erotic pictures. If Xu Hun dares to sell this, he will be considered a true hero.

Deliberately belittled and evaluated Na Xu Hun as a man wallowing in makeup.

It’s just that this man is a real Nascent Soul Realm military monk. After possessing that weird war armor, he has become even more powerful and has outstanding combat power. He is one of the top five warriors in Aquarius Continent. Countless killing power is outstanding.

In a private room of a restaurant in the bustling city of Qingfeng City, a young man continued to eat. A scholar in green shirt had already put down his chopsticks, stood up and stood by the window, looking at the bustling people on the street outside. The beautiful woman, indeed many.

Liu Chicheng shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "This couple in Qingfeng City, one devotes himself to spiritual practice and the other runs the house and makes money, they are a perfect match."

The young man just immersed himself in eating, Liu Chicheng rarely moved his chopsticks, but he ordered a large table of dishes, leaving a lot of food on the table.

Liu Chicheng turned to look at the young man and asked with a smile: "Gu Can, you never said why you came here to hang out, and you deliberately left Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi aside. Can you tell me now? ?"

Gu Can stopped his chopsticks, swallowed his food, raised his head and said, "I have a friend who was almost beaten to death by a man named Lu Zhengchun. Chun is a descendant of the Lu family on Fulu Street, now it seems that the Xu family is doing well in Qingfeng City. ""

In Lizhu Dongtian, there are four major surnames and ten major surnames. Song, Li, Zhao, and Lu are all first-class families.

It’s just that the small town Lu family was too involved with the ruined dynasty, so the end was the most disastrous. After Li Zhu Cave fell to the earth, only the small town Lu family had no achievements to speak of.

There was only one Lu Zhengchun who followed the wife of the Xu family of Qingfeng City in his early years and left the town together. The Xu family treated him favorably, gave him a lot of monastic resources, and also gave him the status of a direct descendant of the ancestral hall. The amulet was given to Mr. Lu in all respects.

Liu Chicheng was not interested in Lu Zhengchun, but asked out of curiosity: "How can a person like you have friends?"

Gu Can nodded and said: "Yes or no. "

Liu Chicheng said with a smile: "Actually, there is only one Chen Ping'an, right?"

Gu Can shook his head, "He has never regarded me as a friend since he was a child. There is a big age difference, and I am the same. We are half relatives, but it is different. As for Liu Xianyang, who has a big heart, he is closer to me only because of Chen Pingan, otherwise he and I would never be the same person. , He was not before, and he will never be in the future, but he can still be regarded as a friend."

When Liu Xianyang returns from Nanbo Suozhou, he should become the direct disciple of Ruan Qiong, the Longquan Sword Sect. It was because my ancestor was the keeper of the Chen family's tomb that he was taken away from home.

There is one thing about Liu Xianyang that Gu Can admires the most. He is naturally good at following the local customs, and he will never be acclimatized.

As for myself, after arriving at Shujian Lake, I even lost all my greatest strength, patience.

When Gu Can looked back on the seemingly beautiful days of Qingxia Island, he realized that he was actually walking towards death step by step.

Young age is no excuse at all.

Gu Can looked at the dishes on the table and continued to eat with chopsticks.

Liu Chicheng suddenly said: "When you go to Baidi City in the future, break off these relationships if you can."

Gu Can looked as usual, just eating and not talking.

Liu Chicheng didn’t think he could change Gu Can’s temperament. He probably had to look at his senior brother’s preaching skills, so he changed the subject, “What did you mean when you said you were doing well before? Since it is Are you a fellow of the same age as you, a Golden Core Sword Cultivator? Or a Nascent Soul Qi Practitioner?" Gu Can said: "He is now a Four Realm Qi Practitioner, and within ten years, he is expected to become one. Dongfu Realm. Help Xu manage a small part of the business of the Fox Kingdom. If you are not happy with your cultivation, you can use the immortal money to make money."

Liu Chicheng put away the folding fan, knocked on his head, and said with a smile: "Future junior brother, are you kidding me, or are you telling a joke?"

Gu Can has a calm expression, doesn't drink, eats chopsticks slowly, and likes to chew slowly, "If you kill I have to run away, can I really have a stable and stable place in this life?"

Liu Chicheng laughed dumbly and shook his head."A waste with such poor cultivation is worthy of you killing people and running away? I am a very easy-to-talk person. Just nod your head and I will help you solve it. It's just Xu Hun, he's not even on the fifth level. It's a trivial matter."

Gu Can asked, "What if? Why bother?"

Liu Chicheng was speechless.

Gu Can put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "But if you really want to take action against your mortal enemy, you have to make sure that the opponent doesn't even have anyone to collect the body."

What's more, let others not be able to pick. Something went wrong.

As for others, there are only two types, one is Chen Ping'an, plus all the others. If you have to make a choice, don't worry about the latter.

In short, Chen Ping'an will never think of completely severing the relationship with himself in this life.

Liu Chicheng smiled brightly.

This guy is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

Being the protector by yourself is really the first time for a young lady to get on the sedan chair, but she is willing to do so and feels very comfortable.

This made Liu Chicheng want to accept a disciple.

Gu Can asked: "If I really become your junior brother, can I learn the most advanced magical powers?"

Liu Chicheng couldn't help but laugh, "Baidicheng City." The collection is extremely rich. If you become my junior brother, of course you can learn it. It’s up to you to choose. It’s just hard to say whether you can succeed.”

Gu Can said: “I want to learn it. "

Liu Chicheng tapped Gu Can with his folding fan and said with a smile: "You are young and ignorant, and you are just talking in your dreams."

It's not that you don't know Gu Can's excellent Taoist qualifications, otherwise. There was no thought of taking it to the Middle-earth Divine Continent as a stepping stone to return to Baidi City, but the Baidi City founded by his senior brother was not an ordinary dojo in the world.

It is true that Liu Chicheng has a deep resentment towards his senior brother, but regardless of these old grievances, senior brother is indeed Liu Chicheng's life

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

The most awe-inspiring person.

Then there is the Great Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and then there is Cui Chan, who played the Caiyun chess game with his senior brother.

That’s it for these three.

Liu Chicheng couldn't help but remind him: "My senior brother has an unpredictable temperament. You may reach the sky in one step, or you may become an ordinary person. What's worse, you may lose it for several lifetimes. Don't even think about it. It was too light. In order to carve out a potential candidate for seclusion, my senior brother had been keeping an eye on that poor guy for six hundred years. For the poor guy himself, his whole eight lifetimes were actually spent closing the door on Baidi City in his last life. The disciple made the wedding clothes, but in the end, in the ninth life, that person was still abandoned by the senior brother for some reason. The senior brother was best at distracting himself, practicing, playing chess, running Baidi City, refining weapons, and recruiting disciples... almost. There is nothing that senior brother is not good at, and he does everything calmly and without leakage."

Gu Can nodded and said, "Then I have found a good master."

Liu Chicheng laughed endlessly.

Gu Can stood up to pay the bill.

Liu Chicheng suddenly said in surprise: "What a handsome girl."

p>

Gu Can didn't care.

/p>

Gu Can frowned, walked quickly to the window, and looked at the young woman leading the horse slowly. She was dressed in red, with a wine gourd and a narrow knife hanging from her waist.

It’s Li Baoping.

Why did she come to Qingfeng City?

Gu Can said: "We are not in a hurry to leave. We will wait until she leaves Qingfeng City. Regardless of whether there is any turmoil during this period, I owe you a favor."

Liu Chicheng He asked doubtfully: "Do you know this woman?"

Gu Can remained silent.

Liu Chicheng counted his fingers, suddenly cursed, and quickly covered his nose. Blood still seeped out from between his fingers.

Liu Chicheng looked solemn, rarely restraining his cynicism, and said in a deep voice: "Don't get involved! Just treat it as my senior brother's advice to you, my future junior brother!"

Gu Can Staring at the retreating figure of the woman in red, he said: "Meet in. If something happens, you save her and I will take care of myself."

Liu Chicheng said angrily: "What are you trying to do?! ”

Gu Can closed his eyes and began to mentally calculate all the inside information about Qingfeng City.

Liu Chicheng uttered an ouch, leaned against the window, and laughed at himself: "I have such a hard life."

————

Zheng Dafeng goes Before going to Yang's store, I went to a wine shop, and I was already familiar with the wine-selling woman, but even though I was not a good friend of mine, I still had some problems with her.

The woman is fierce, and the people in the town call her Huang Erniang, but her real name has long been forgotten.

In the early years, there was that drunk man who knocked on the widow’s door at night. When the woman opened the door, he threw a kitchen knife across his head and almost killed her. He lost a lot of money afterwards, but after that, he squatted on the wall. There are no more men who talk dirty and steal clothes by climbing over walls. It is not worth risking the life of the boss for the sake of the second child.

Besides, Huang Erniang didn’t mind at all when they talked about dirty things in the wine shop. They came and went, mostly men begging for mercy. When she served food and wine, she touched the little hands of the drunkards, but It was just a kick from her and a few words of laughter and scolding. This deal was a good deal. If the more handsome young students came to drink, the treatment would be different. The more courageous ones would not even get a roll of their eyes. Who is taking advantage of whom? , both said.

The wine shop is booming and overcrowded. Master Ruan, who turned from a blacksmith to a fairy in the early years, often comes here to buy wine. As time goes by, Huang Er’s family’s wine has become the golden sign of the town. , many outsiders are willing to come here to enjoy the immortality of Saint Ruan, the chief enshrinement of Dali. The pastries here and the New Year's shop in Qilong Lane are now doing very well.

Zheng Dafeng stood at the door of the shop, feeling a little worried. With so many sloppy men staring at him, he guessed that Huang Erniang was too shy to tease him. Moreover, now that the shop is bigger and two busboys have been hired, Zheng Dafeng feels that drinking is a pleasure.The taste is not as good as before.

It’s not like when the shop was quiet, but she was a big customer here. Huang Erniang was lying on the counter, and when she saw her, it was as if she saw her own man coming home, and she would shake her waist every time. , go around the counter, bite Brother Dafeng in one mouthful, or twist his arm, and curse the heartless devil in a low voice, until he is about to turn into a piece of peach blossom cake.

She still insisted on holding his arm and walking into the shop together. How could there be such a heavy hidden weapon in the world? It was so hurtful that Zheng Dafeng was afraid of hurting his arm. Every time he sat down, he had to rub it for a long time before he could lift the wine bowl.

Seven or eight wine tables were full of people. Zheng Dafeng planned to come back when there were fewer people. He never expected that there would be a table full of local men. One of them waved and said: "Hey, yo, yo, Isn't this brother Dafeng? Come and sit here, let's talk first. You're treating me today. I've given you so many drinks at weddings and weddings. Now I'm helping the gods on the mountain to look after the door. How generous. Sure enough, this man, Dou Only when you have money can you straighten your waist."

Zheng Dafeng, who was stooped, ran over and sat on a bench with the man. He said with a smile: "Why should I invite guests? I am saving money for my wife. Well, you are no better than Liu Dayanzi. You sold two ancestral houses and bought two large houses and many shops in Zhoucheng. How grand is this? Zhang Fugui's face?"

Big eyes are a common folk saying, which means that you can't see people.

The man surnamed Liu is not angry at all. He is used to bickering with Zheng Dafeng. The exchange of words between each other is like drizzle. Whoever is angry will lose.

The man has not come to the town often in recent years. The two ancestral houses occupying a large area have been sold long ago. , the road is too far, so during the Qingming Festival, burning more yellow paper on the roadside outside the big house in Zhoucheng is considered as filial piety.

The man lowered his voice and said: "Did you know that the widow in Mud Bottle Lane is so great now? She is really rich and powerful."

The man gave a thumbs up. , "In terms of family wealth, that pretty widow can count this now."

The man immediately regretted and said: "I had known that there would have been more, otherwise there would be more than a few houses and shops in Zhoucheng now, not to mention two or three streets." They all have to bear my surname!"

Zheng Dafeng poured a bowl of wine by himself. The wine was not brought to his mouth by Huang Erniang with her own hands. The taste was not much better. Zheng Dafeng raised the wine bowl first and gave a toast. The people at the table had a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp. The few people sitting here were all neighbors who were about the same age as Liu Dayanzi. Now they all have a family business in Zhoucheng and live a life they never dreamed of before. I can't imagine the happy days. Between the yellow-faced old woman who comes first and the charming concubine who comes last, there is a lot of excitement all year round. Coupled with those smart maids who miss me a little, ordinary days are more lively than ever during the New Year. Still lively.

Zheng Dafeng made a toast. Except for a relatively honest acquaintance, who offered a bowl in return, the others did not move and pretended not to notice.

Zheng Dafeng doesn't care about this. I just came here to drink. Why do I want to lose face?

Hurryly pouring another bowl of wine, Zheng Dafeng wiped his lips and said with a smile: "I'm not sure. I wasn't very familiar with Mrs. Gu back then, you know that."

Liu Dayanzi joked: "I'm surprised. You're also a pretty widow, the wife of the Gu family in Mu Ping Lane, and you're still soft-tempered. Why don't you try to hook up with her? How come you're just like Huang Erniang?"< /p>

Zheng Dafeng smiled.

The man on the other bench had a shrewd philistine look on his face. He was notoriously stingy back then. He seemed careless and casually asked with a smile: "Dafeng, I heard that you are following Mu Bottle Alley now. That kid is fooling around with you? You're getting better and better, and you're going back home. In the early days, you didn't care about the gate, but now you're doing it to a young man who's not as good as you. Besides, look at you now. , it doesn’t look like someone who got rich along the way. Why don’t I help you? I’ve been a good brother for many years. Don’t you still have a small shabby house in the east of the town? I’ll help you find it over there in Zhoucheng. A rich buyer?"

Zheng Dafeng started pouring wine again, waving his hands and saying: "No, just lie down there in my little nest, you're a mess, my butt is facing me. A fart in the east will shake the window paper in the west. It's not worth anything."

The man glanced at Liu Da's eyes, and the latter immediately persuaded him: "Brother Dafeng, the state is now. There is money everywhere in the city. To be honest, if there is a bunch of copper coins falling on the ground, it is not gold or silver. If you sell that yellow mud house, go to Zhoucheng! What kind of beautiful daughter-in-law can’t be found in a home? Besides, when we go to Zhoucheng, we are all old brothers, so we can help each other. Isn’t it better than being a gatekeeper?”

Zheng Dafeng started to make the paste, and he didn't refuse, just dragging it on. Next time we meet, we can have a drink.

In the end, everyone at the table lost their patience with Zheng Dafeng, and they didn’t even pay when they left.

Zheng Dafeng called a familiar face to sit down, and the familiar face called his acquaintance to drink. Then Zheng Dafeng wanted to apply oil on the soles of his feet.

I never thought that the woman had sharp eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Dafeng, are you short of money in your pocket or a handful in your crotch? If you are short of money and can't pay the wine bill, what does our relationship have to do with it? It’s free of charge for drinks, but if you’re missing something, I can’t help you.”

Zheng Dafeng kept walking, pretending not to hear.

Huang Erniang slapped the table, "Zheng Dafeng! Get back here, my tofu, if you are brave enough and not afraid of the knife, you can eat it as you like, but you dare to owe me the money for the drink? The king of heaven will lend it to you." Are you a coward?"

The folk customs of this small town have always been simple.

Zheng Dafeng turned around, wandered to the counter, and laughed softly: "We are short of money. When will we not be short of money? Huang Erniang, you don't know if you are short of other things." ? Brother Dafeng, a fierce and powerful man, is definitely not a wasted person."

Huang Erniang leaned against the counter, chewing melon seeds, "Why don't you gamble now?Already? Entering the mountains and falling into a sow's nest? ”

Zheng Dafeng said with a playful smile: “I gamble just for fun and never ask for money. Have you ever won when you saw me gambling?” "

Then Zheng Dafeng said earnestly: "The gambling table earns tens of millions of dollars, but it is just a piece of land by the river. The money of life and death has been going around in circles for sixty years. One skill is worth the money, and it is passed down through three generations. A piece of land, money for crops, tens of thousands of years.

Huang Erniang rolled her eyes and said, "You just like to pretend to be a scholar." "

Zheng Dafeng glanced at the woman's clothes, stretched out his hand and said, "Sister, what kind of fabric is this from? It's so strong, let Brother Dafeng take a look." ”

The woman was just eating melon seeds, not hiding, she really didn’t believe that this guy dared to touch the fabric on her chest.

As expected, Zheng Dafeng retracted his hand angrily, Pretending to find a step for herself, she wiped the tabletop and complained: "Sister, I really don't know how to find a hard-working job because I'm talking about you. Look at the tabletop. It's so greasy that even flies can't even touch it." If you can't move your feet, if you are not careful, will you be crushed to death by two mountains? "

The woman just sneered, "You have the nerve to call me sister? Do the math on your own fingers. How long has it been since the shop took care of business? "

Zheng Dafeng lay on the counter, turned his head and glanced at the noisy wine table, and said with a smile: "What else do I have to take care of now? I don't need a few bowls of wine. "

The woman took advantage of the rickety man to turn his head and look away. Her eyes turned red, but she quickly covered them up.

It seemed like many years passed in the blink of an eye.

When she first opened this shop, she was still a young woman, and she was better-looking than she is now. She didn’t have the wrinkles around her eyes, and her hands were very supple. Looking back on those days, she had the courage to give her customers When they brought the wine to the table, almost all the drunkards glanced at her chest. Only one young man also looked at her breasts, but he also liked to look at her little hands. He would say many pleasant things and follow the book. It's so eloquent and docile that I can't quite understand it, but it makes me feel happy.

The man in front of me helped the shop with a lot of help, not just drinking. Simple.

When she was the most beautiful, she was embarrassed by those words. Now that she is older and knows more about the world, she is not so beautiful.

< p>She just felt that Zheng Dafeng was different from other men.

In fact, his eyes and mouth were not honest, but his hands were honest.

The woman didn’t know until later. It turns out that this is the real honest person.

Zheng Dafeng turned his head and said, "Old rules, accounting, by the way, give Brother Dafeng another bowl. ”

The woman threw the bowl on the table and poured the wine into the bowl herself. She faced the wine jar and when she turned and bent over, she knew that the man must be looking at her.

Huang Erniang poured the wine, leaned against the counter again, looked at the man who was sipping the wine, and said softly: "Liu Dayanzhu and this group are fighting.The idea of ​​your house, be careful. Maybe this time I came back to town, it was just for you. "

Zheng Dafeng nodded, "It's still a girl who knows how to care for people. "

"Let me tell you something serious!

Huang Erniang emphasized her tone slightly and frowned: "Don't worry about it. I heard that now that these people have money, they are very careless in doing business in the city. The money falls into a good place." In the hands of others, he is a heroic hero, but in the pockets of these people, he is a harmful person. Your shabby house is small, but the location is good. To the east of the town is the Tomb of the Immortals, which is now a martial arts temple. Over the years, how many high-ranking officials have gone to burn incense and worship at the top of the mountain? How grand? You don't know? But I also want to advise you, if you find a suitable buyer, just sell it. Don't be too secretive. Be careful when the yamen offers to buy from you. Then the price will be high and the price will be as low as your feet. Are you going to sell it or not? If you don’t sell it, can you calm down in the future? ”

Zheng Dafeng snorted.

So when it comes to dirty things and bad things, there are many in the market, in every household, who hasn’t ordered chicken shit and dog shit? But to say smart , kind-hearted, in fact, there are a lot of them. Who doesn’t have a few bowls of clean rice in every house?

The woman suddenly felt sad, “I’m almost old.

Zheng Dafeng smiled and said: "That's right. Your kids are all scholars now. I heard they have the nickname of Little Scholar?" How about it, Brother Dafeng never lies to you, right? That kid is a good piece of material at first glance, a serious reading material. The spring couplets in the wine shop were written by that kid, right? Sister, you will wait for me later. Let's enjoy it. The heirloom is not money, but the accumulation of virtue and good deeds. "

Huang Erniang glanced at him.

Zheng Dafeng pretended to be shy and blocked it with a wine bowl, "Sister, your look is not very serious. Brother Dafeng looks like he is not wearing any clothes. Clothes out. ”

Huang Erniang was helpless.

She really has to thank him for teaching her children. In the early years, the little widow carried a small oil bottle, and she really wanted to cut off the flesh. She wanted her children to have enough to eat, drink, and wear warm clothes. As the children got older, she was reluctant to beat or scold them at all. The children would run wild and even dared to skip classes in school. She just felt that it was not good and she didn’t know how to teach them, so she persuaded them. If he doesn't listen, the child always agrees, and still often goes down the river to catch fish and goes up the mountain to catch snakes. Then Zheng Dafeng once drank and made a lot of dirty talk. He hid the saying that making money requires finesse and treating others with kindness. Don't be lenient to your children.

Huang Erniang listened and gave the child a good beating.

Huang Erniang suddenly said: "Being distracted. , neither three nor four, five or six people, a mess, inseparable from ten, he is a coward. ”

This was once a curse word used by Zheng Dafeng when he was drinking in a liquor store.

In fact, it is not strong, it is too sour, and the curse is not painful or itchy.

But Huang Erniang I thought it was quite interesting, so I remembered that it didn't seem to be the same as those women who scolded first and then scratched their faces, and those country men who scolded people.

Zheng Dafeng pretended not to.He understood, but began to feel sorry for himself, "A bachelor is sad and cold. What a poor way? Rats starve and have to move. Mosquitoes and lice can barely drink a few sips of wine. After saving enough wife books, which girl is willing to come to the house."

Huang Erniang asked with a smile: "How old is the girl?"

Zheng Dafeng glanced at the woman and said with a smile: "Well, it doesn't matter how old you are, it doesn't matter. It should be big, but it should be big."

Huang Erniang threw a handful of melon seeds and threw them at the man.

Zheng Dafeng dodged. When he finished a bowl of wine, he put down the wine bowl, reached out and patted his face, and said with his tongue: "What a person who drinks like a long whale sucking in hundreds of rivers, and who is as drunk as a jade mountain general." Collapse. Girl, you have good eyesight."

Huang Erniang sneered: "You are just a stick who fell into the pit when you were drunk.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)< /p>

Drown or eat to death, it’s up to you.”

Zheng Dafeng said: “Let’s go, I will pay you back later.”

Huang Erniang suddenly said. Asked: "Are you going far away again?"

Zheng Dafeng said: "It's not too far."

The blessed land of lotus roots is said to be close, but it is as close as Luolu Mountain, but it is said to be far away , actually far away.

Huang Erniang lowered her voice, "I haven't suffered enough, what good things are there out there?"

Zheng Dafeng turned his head and said with a smile: "I once saw a sentence in a book Huang Si's house is full of flowers, but it's not as good as Huang Er's. "Can't we just leave? I'll always owe you the money for the drinks,"

Zheng said. Gale shook his head and left.

The woman kept watching the man with his arm around his back gradually go away, and she had already lost her sight clearly.

Zheng Dafeng came to Yang's shop to help temporarily. The precocious junior sister Su Dian and the inexperienced junior brother Shi Lingshan are now going to practice.

At present, there is only one Yang family kid in the shop looking after the business. Zheng Dafeng is now much thicker-skinned. Even though he is still not treated well by his master, he only stays in the front shop anyway and does not bother with the backyard. As long as he is an old man.

As he approached the shop, Zheng Dafeng quietly let go of the smell of alcohol and entered the shop. The young waiter was dozing there and heard the sound of Zheng Dafeng moving the small bench. When he woke up, he continued to sleep. The children of the Yang family have been bothered by Zheng Dafeng for a year or two, and they don’t want to get involved with him. A bachelor who is looking at the gate, went on a long journey, lost half his life outside, and came back in despair to continue looking at the gate. How promising can it be? If the old man of the Yang family hadn't said a few gentle words, a slovenly guy like Zheng Dafeng wouldn't have even thought of coming to the shop to help with his little relationship with the old man in the backyard.

The Yang family has not been going well in recent years, and even the younger brothers of the Yang family have not been doing well. In the past, the four surnames and ten clans, except for a few who directly moved their families to Dali Capital, only There are still some people left in their hometowns, and they are all working hard in the city, and each one is prosperous and prosperous, making money every day, so those who are young and have some ambitions are more jealous and enthusiastic. Mrs. YangI secretly have a cold heart and don't want to take care of it. Let's just let this group of unworthy descendants go.

The old man’s only confidence was the prescription given by Old Man Yang in the backyard.

But this transaction was handled by only three people in the entire family, exactly three generations, which was enough without the worry of being left behind.

When there are more children and grandchildren, the person who is in charge of the family likes to give more to those who are truly promising, and to support those who have no money. They will not starve to death, and those who can make money will only become richer.

Zheng Dafeng moved a bench and sat at the door of the shop. It cost no money to bask in the sun, and it was whitening without being exposed to the sun. He could enjoy the flowers and the moon on the mountain, and join in the fun at the market below. It was the best of both worlds.

Zheng Dafeng looked up at the sun and saw everything in the blue sky?

I just watched it like this for a long time. It has been like this since I was a child. After watching it for a long time, it is not dazzling and has no feeling. Later, Zheng Dafeng learned boxing and martial arts and stopped thinking too much.

Zheng Dafeng looked away and patted his knees, "Last year I was looking forward to a good year, but this year I still have a broken cotton-padded jacket. This year I am thinking about next year, next year will be good"

The young man at the counter muttered : "It's so noisy."

Zheng Dafeng turned around and said with a smile: "Are you dead?"

The young man glared and said: "How can you talk!"

< p>Zheng Dafeng looked puzzled and said: "If you don't use your mouth, why don't you use your butt?"

The young man slapped the table and said, "Zheng Dafeng, please keep your mouth clean!"

< p>Zheng Dafeng smiled, raised his hand and pressed it a few times, and said patiently: "Keep your voice down, our common people's tables are either used to place rice bowls or place incense burners. What else do they do? It doesn’t matter, for example, the abacus, it doesn’t matter. So don’t slap the table, it’s disrespectful to the gods of heaven and earth.”

The young man said with a smile: “You are talking nonsense here. You are so lame and hunchbacked that you have been working as a watchdog all your life. Do you really think of this shop as your own home?”

The tip of an ox’s horn is not as powerful as a knife’s mouth.

It’s just that what Zheng Dafeng has learned the most from is not the martial art with his senior brother Li Er, but his verbal skills.

There are not many people in the town, but this one has the most talkative masters.

Mud Bottle Alley and Xinghua Alley are full of outstanding people and masters.

Let’s just say that Chen Ping’an, the boring gourd, didn’t make any moves during those teenage years. In fact, he was building up his internal strength in this skill day after day.

Zheng Dafeng was immediately happy. Su Dian was too stubborn and Shi Lingshan was too naive. Finally, someone who could talk and chat came here. It was so exciting that Zheng Dafeng moved the stool closer to the threshold and said with a smile. : "Yang Shu, I heard that you always like to burn incense at the Tiefu Jiangshui Temple? Do you know the real rules of burning incense? If nothing else, this kind of thing requires paying attention to the old rules, right? You know I don’t know why you hold the incense in your left hand? Then do you know that you are left-handed, so that’s not good?”

The young man named Yang Shu felt a little confused, but his expression was according toI was so disdainful that I didn’t even bother to talk to him.

Zheng Dafeng said with a smile: "Fifteen loves the neighbor's wife. Thirty likes other people's sons. Fifty-sixty is a good daughter-in-law. The Yang family has three bedrooms and a good family tradition."

Yang Shu suddenly blushed, picked up the abacus, and smashed it at the bastard.

The head of the Yang family's third-family house does have a bad reputation on Fulu Street and Taoye Lane. He is the kind of rich man who "has an unknotted belt".

Zheng Dafeng stretched out his hand to catch the abacus, "This is your Yang family's money-earning possession, and you can't throw it away. If it breaks, who should I ask to pay for it? I am a barefoot man, and you have a small amount of money, even if Is it going to work to throw dirty water at me? Who will pay in the end? You are waiting to go to the city to make some unconscionable side money. Let me see, it is better not to go. The prosperity of the family depends on it. Etiquette does not matter whether you are rich or poor. If you study hard, you can still hope to have more children to honor your ancestors."

Yang Shu's face turned livid, and he was so angry. Trembling all over.

Zheng Dafeng shook his head and raised his hand, "Don't fight with me. I don't strike lightly or hard. With this punch, you will probably start practicing Drunken Boxing. You can teach yourself without a teacher." That kind of thing."

Yang Shu was about to go around the counter, not fight, and go home.

Suddenly the curtain was lifted, and the old man said: "Yang Shu, don't you feel embarrassed to compete with a janitor?"

Yang Shu snorted coldly, but there was a step to step down. , I still have to leave Yang's shop, but my pace is slower and more steady.

When Yang Shu crossed the threshold close to the door and finally walked away, Old Yang, who rarely walked to the front of the shop, came to the door and said: "Competing with a waste, is it fun? The other party understands Are you talking?"

Zheng Dafeng had already stood up and straightened his back as much as possible.

The first thing for an old man to do is to accept a disciple and respect the teacher and the teachings.

Zheng Dafeng followed the old man to the backyard. The old man lifted the curtain and put it down casually when the person passed the threshold. Zheng Dafeng held it gently, but continued to hold it and put it down gently when the person passed.

Old man Yang sat on the steps of the main room, knocked on the cigarette rod, and picked up the cigarette bag at his waist.

Soon he started puffing away again.

The thin bamboo cigarette rod was given by others, and the tobacco leaves were given by that little brat Li Huai. Over the years, the cigarette rod has been rubbed and smoked from its original green color. Light bamboo yellow.

Old man Yang said: "Even if you go to a small lotus root blessed land, what's the point?"

Zheng Dafeng said: "After all, it is a vast world."

Old Yang glanced sideways at this disciple.

Being too smart is never a good thing.

Zheng Dafeng said helplessly: "Listen to Master."

Okay, now I really have to go far away.

Old man Yang said: "When you get there, start all over again. The road will be more difficult, but as long as the road is not difficult, there will be more people. The reason why Fan Junmao becomes the King of Nanyue Mountain, not you ,Not without reason. "

Zheng Dafeng just listened to the teachings anyway.

Old man Yang asked: "Why do you think it was at this time that the fifth world was opened up for Confucianism? You know, that world has been discovered a long time ago. "

Zheng Dafeng replied: "Lest the war is imminent, the various schools of thought will not help, but will be hindered and trapped." Now that an extra piece of the world has appeared out of thin air, fight for it if you can. "

Old man Yang asked again: "Do you know why Taoism and Buddhism are the most tolerant in the world? In the Qingming world, do Confucian academies and Buddhist temples have a foothold? "

Zheng Dafeng looked solemn. If you think about this question by yourself, you will never be able to come up with an answer.

Old man Yang actually waved his hand to disperse the smoke and asked: " I once called the saints of the Three Religions Pixiu, right? "

Zheng Dafeng nodded.

The old man smiled and said: "I just don't know who will be the first to slap me in the face. ”

Now Master, on his side, doesn’t mind talking more.

But Zheng Dafeng actually misses the bleak years in his early years when “Master talked little, but did not cross” .

Zheng Dafeng was suddenly stunned.

Old man Yang sneered: "Finally remembered? I think you are not as smart as Li Er, but you are never convinced. ”

Li Er once reminded Zheng Dafeng, think carefully about why Master never spoke more than ten words to you.

Back then, Zheng Dafeng felt that it was dark under the lamp. The master felt that he was an eyesore and was not willing to say another word.

The tenth realm of martial arts.

At the beginning, he was at the peak of the martial arts realm. I traveled south to Old Dragon City, guarding that dusty shop, and then met Chen Ping'an, and then I almost broke through. It was really just a little bit close, I was about to break through two bottlenecks in a row and jump directly from the eighth realm to the tenth realm!

Old man Yang sneered: "If you had the ability to ask me to say one more word back then, you would have been in the tenth realm a long time ago. How could there be so many messy things now. You wandered around, asking Qi Jingchun, chatting with that old man Yao, so what? Is it now the tenth realm or the eleventh realm? Well, multiplying by two is almost enough. "

Zheng Dafeng is still quite accustomed to such a master.

However, Zheng Dafeng rarely talks back once, "Mr. Qi and Old Man Yao are still very knowledgeable. It's because I have poor understanding and can't learn the subtleties. "

"Did I say you have a good understanding?

Old man Yang twisted out some tobacco and said with a sarcastic look on his face, "What is the most troublesome thing about a house?" The window paper is torn? The door is broken? Is this a big deal? It’s a poor family in Niping Lane and Xinghua Lane. Can’t afford this small amount of sewing money? Let’s just say that Chen Ping’an’s ancestral house is a big boy. He can carry a hatchet and go up and down the mountain to replace the old one with a new one. No matter how well you learn other people's principles and think you understand them thoroughly, in fact it is just a job of sticking up to the doorkeeper and hanging Spring Festival couplets., it faded away. "

Zheng Dafeng said: "It's about changing beams and pillars, and going to war. "

Old man Yang nodded and said: "Do you think other people's principles are really so easy to learn? What has to be done is to tear down the original beams and pillars, which is a major renovation of the mind. This is the true meaning of cultivating the mind. You have to compete with yourself and endure it. ”

Old man Yang sighed, “Let’s not talk about the distance. Let’s just say that Qi Jingchun asked his heart in Lizhu Cave for a while, but he couldn’t come up with a ‘just and right’ way. Let’s look at Chen Ping’an. , how many truths do you think he thinks he knows? Not many, just a few. As a person, who am I? Scholarship is about how to understand the world. Cultivation, how to gain a foothold in the world, how to live in harmony with the world, and how to live better. Just three things, just a few principles. Is it complicated to be a good person? Add up a little and make a lot. Is it complicated to be a truly good person? It's very simple, but is it easy to do? It's hard. ”

Old man Yang can roughly guess Qi Jingchun’s intellectual background at that time.

Taoist ancestors once said, loss of morality will lead to virtue, loss of morality will lead to benevolence, and loss of benevolence will lead to righteousness.

Qi Jingchun is probably thinking about the solution to this matter, maybe trying to push back, not the order, but the order.

Qi Jingchun may even be thinking about something bigger than this.

It’s a pity that everything has passed.

Zheng Dafeng asked: “That disciple? ”

Old man Yang asked back: “It’s up to the master to bring him in to practice. Does he still need the master to teach his disciples how to eat and poop?” "

Zheng Dafeng said: "After going to that world, I will think about it carefully. ”

Old man Yang raised his hand, shook his sleeves, and threw out the small temple that had been refining and put away. The old man waved his palm, and the golden light flashed away and disappeared into Zheng Dafeng. Between the eyebrows.

Zheng Dafeng did not move at all.

Old man Yang said: "The property belongs to its original owner and is not an eyesore. I won't look at it anyway. It's just annoying." "

Those golden lights are Zheng Dafeng's soul.

Zheng Dafeng stood up, bent down and clasped his fists, "Disciple thanks the master for preaching and protecting the Tao. ”

Old man Yang puffed out smoke.

Zheng Dafeng sat down immediately.

Just standing like that is not very respectful.

Zheng Dafeng turned to look, and not long after, a young man in a Confucian shirt walked in with a bright eyebrow, carrying a bamboo box and holding a hiking stick.

Zheng Dafeng had a sullen face. p>The dusty young man walked quickly to Old Man Yang, squatted down, rubbed his shoulders, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, these muscles and bones are still strong, like a young and strong young man, it's not too much to marry a wife." You are serious, Da Feng. Why did you become a disciple and you didn’t even know how to help your master look for someone? It's hard for you to find a wife, is it also hard to find a mistress? "

Old man Yang doesn't care.

Zheng Dafeng is no longer surprised.

In the world, Li Huai is probably the only one who dares to treat the old man like this.

Old man Yang asked: "Are you going to study at Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain again?"

Li Huai simply sat down on the ground, "This is the second best, I'm going to fight Pei Qian. Of course it's a literary fight. We haven't seen each other for a few years. We have both accumulated a lot of money. This is just a fight in the square outside the Jise Peak Ancestral Master Hall, a grand event where top masters compete with each other. She took a look at the sword. Great Wall, we met in the academy before. She said she had to pack up her treasures and fight again later."

Li Huai said regretfully: "It's a pity that Li Baoping went to travel alone in the world, in case he lost Pei Qian. Fortunately, if I accidentally defeat her, I won’t be able to get down to Luopo Mountain without Li Baoping’s help.”

Zheng Dafeng said with a smile: “Is there anyone else you’re afraid of?”

Li Huai nodded and said: "Afraid, afraid of Mr. Qi, afraid of Baoping, afraid of Pei Qian, so many academy masters and gentlemen, I am afraid."

Zheng Dafeng joked: "Chen Are you afraid of Ping An?"

Li Huai thought about it seriously and said, "As long as he is here, you won't be afraid."

There are people who have traveled to Beiju Luzhou. The scholar Li Xisheng, Li Baoping who studied at the Sui Cliff Academy, and Zhao Yao who traveled far away to the Divine Continent of Middle-earth.

In Taoye Lane, there is Xie Ling, the direct descendant of the Longquan Sword Sect, Tao Ya, a maid of the Wei family who is going to the capital of Dali, and Lin Shouyi, who is practicing Taoism and studying with peace of mind.

In Muping Alley, there are Chen Ping'an who went to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Gu Can who caused a storm in Shujian Lake and started to sleep again, Song Jixin who became the king of the Great Li clan, and his maid Zhigui.

In Xinghua Lane, there is Ma Kuxuan, who is known as the young genius leader of the continent.

The siblings Li Liu and Li Huai.

Dong Shuijing is doing business.

Yangjia Shop also has Sudian and Shilingshan.

Those with the best luck in small towns often have strong roots, such as Li Huai and Gu Can. When the old locust tree lost its leaves, Gu Can was actually the one who shed the most leaves. Unknowingly, that little slug had a big bag full of them. When I returned to Mu Ping Alley and was reminded by Chen Pingan, I realized there were so many locust leaves in my pocket.

The one with the toughest fate is probably Chen Pingan.

However, nearly fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye for the children and teenagers in the streets and alleys of Lizhudongtian in the past. It is not a smooth sailing for everyone to have their own encounters, opportunities and achievements. Smooth.

Unknowingly, in the past fifteen years, many children in the small town have reached the age of frailty, and the group of young men back then will be thirty years old.
