Chapter 669 Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow

Chen Pingan found A Liang at the corner wine shop.

A Liang was hooking up with a swordsman, saying, "Why are you sad? Nalan Caihuan has your heart, so what, can she get your body?" It's impossible, she, Nalan Caihuan, doesn't have the ability. The man didn't feel any better, but he wanted to drink more and more. He reached out unsteadily and picked up the wine bottle on the table. It was empty. A Liang quickly asked for another bottle of wine. Hearing boos from all over, he saw thank you. The lady twisted her waist and walked around the counter. She looked out of the restaurant with a smile on her face. A Liang turned around and saw that it was Chen Pingan who was here. At the Great Wall of Sword Qi, we scholars are so precious. We are welcome wherever we go. .

After Chen Pingan sat down, he smiled and said: "A-Liang, I invite you to have a meal at Ning Mansion. I will cook it myself."

Mrs. Xie placed a pot of wine on the But he didn't sit down at the table. A Liang nodded and agreed to Chen Pingan's invitation. Now he looked up at the woman. A Liang's drunken eyes were hazy, and he looked left and right, "Xie sister, what's going on? I I can’t even see your face.”

The woman sneered: “Are you going to talk about seeing two hanging mountains every time you’re drunk? You don’t have anything new to say, Ah Liang? I'm old. Look through the Second Shopkeeper's Jianjianxian Seal Book more, that's what a scholar should say."

A Liang was a little sad that Xie Meizi liked the new and disliked the old.

The two left, and after Chen Pingan walked some distance away, he said: "When I looked through old files at the summer palace, I only said that Xie Yuan was seriously injured. After that, Mrs. Xie made a living selling wine. ."

A Liang shook off the alcohol and slapped his cheek, "It's wrong to call her Mrs. They stood out. They were younger than Yue Qing and Mi Hu, and they were swordsmen of the same generation as Nalan Caihuan. Together with Cheng Quan and Zhao Chen, the woman he had been thinking about, they were the most outstanding young girls on the Sword Qi Great Wall back then. ”

A Liang said with emotion: “The light rain was falling, the sky and the earth were hazy, and the handsome scholar suddenly saw a woman walking with an umbrella. She was wearing green clothes, holding the umbrella like flowers blooming on the street, and the person was like a willow leaning against the spring rain. "It's absolutely beautiful."

Chen Ping'an said: "Remove the 'handsome scholar' and leave only the woman, and the picture will be really beautiful."

A Liang. He smiled and said: "Without that handsome scholar seeing it with his own eyes, how could you know this beauty?"

A Liang continued: "Xie Yuan was on the battlefield with a junior sister of Sword Immortal Shou Chen, They exchanged a flying sword of their own, and each of them shattered. She was seriously injured and had no time to evacuate, but Shou Chen rushed over and added another sword. If she had not suffered this disaster, Xie Yuan would have reached the fifth level easily. . So Xie Yuan and Wen Hai are closely related and have a sworn hatred. You beat that Jiashen Zhangliu half to death, so Xie Yuan is naturally grateful to you."

A Liang. He gloated: "For this kind of thing, when you meet, you can just say thank you. Why make an exception and not charge money."

Chen Pingan then understood in his heart that A Liang would not call him there for no reason. Have a drink in a wine shopliquor.

It turned out that it was to untie the knot for Xie Yuan. Of course, A Liang also drank for nothing.

When they arrived at Ning Mansion, Chen Pingan went to the kitchen to cook. Aunt Bai helped, and the two chatted about trivial matters.

A Liang was in the wing of Chen Ping'an's residence, flipping through the thunderous Jianjianxian Seal Book. There were many blank fans and plain seals made of plain material on the table, but it looked like they should be I won’t use pen or knife anymore.

Ning Yao sat aside and asked: "What is going on with the demon outside the sky? Isn't it possible that the White Jade Capital can't completely suppress it?"

Haoran Tianxia has never had a precise explanation of the origin of the demon. As for the sword cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, they didn't care at all.

A Liang only gave a rough idea: "It's not the disaster caused by us cultivators. We can't clean our own butts, so we can only deceive ourselves and others and let it go. Year after year, floods occur. Qingming Tianxia can only use the stupidest method to build embankments to block the water, and build embankments to contain the water, and raise them higher and higher. Over time, it will become a dangerous scene of "flood above the head, hanging high in the sky". It cannot be entirely blamed. Bai Yujing's stinky nose treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It is said that Dao Lao Er's senior brother is responsible for tracing the root cause. Dao Lao Er and Lu Chen actually have their own reasons. The corresponding strategy was too deliberate, cruel and easy, and Lu Chen's method was too casual. I guess Taozu didn't like it very much, so more hope was placed on the eldest disciple."

A Liang said with a smile: "Don't blame me for being vague. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention. Once a cultivator has the intention, it is often a big obstacle, especially in this transformation. When it comes to dealing with external demons, the more talented you are, the less powerful you are. Of course, there are always exceptions, and Ning Yatou is the exception. But once I tell you, it is inappropriate, so let it take its course."

Ning Yao nodded.

The reason why she asked about the demon outside was because she was still worried about Chen Pingan's future ability to form a golden elixir and give birth to a Nascent Soul.

As for herself, she doesn’t seem to have any hidden worries. She has reached the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms, or even the Yu Pu realm, which is just a stone’s throw away. As long as Ning Yao wants to break through, it will not be difficult.

A Liang revealed another secret, "The Taoist priests in Qingming World are busy and not relaxed. It is a different battlefield from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, but the level of tragedy is similar. The Buddhist Kingdom in the West is also It’s almost the same. Under the Nine Springs, the ghosts of injustice gather like a sea. Who do you blame?”

Ning Yao said: “Human?”

A Liang said: “Learning is the beginning of worry. . Then of course people will have more worries and hidden dangers when they practice Taoism."

Ning Yao said in confusion: "A Liang, you should talk to Chen Ping'an, he can answer it." /p>

A Liang smiled and said: "I won't put any more burden on him. Ning girl, youOnce you hear it, you forget it, so it’s only right to chat with you. "

A Liang twisted a plain jade-like seal in the palm of his hands, without any words or inscriptions, and said slowly: "Cultivation is ultimately overcome by the great road of heaven and earth, and on the road of practice, , are used to gaining without losing, taking without giving, taking without letting go, of course the consequences will be endless. The sages practiced mountain climbing and drank poison to quench their thirst. They couldn't do it without drinking. We, the younger generations, are just greedy and think about what we think. People in ancient times and today are really two people. That's why there is such a saying, people in ancient times were externalized but not internalized, and people today are internalized but not externalized. These are the heartfelt words that the old people can't help but curse when they are really angry. But deep down, the old people actually hope that the young people in the future can prove that their angry words are wrong.

A Liang put away the seal, put it back in its original position, and said with a smile: "No matter what, you have to recognize the characters, read the books, cultivate the Tao, and walk the road." Yes, you need to eat food! "

Ning Yao said: "Don't persuade Chen Ping'an to drink. "

A Liang stood up and said: "Have a drink, I promise not to drink too much, but you have to drink. If the wine seller doesn't drink, he must be the shopkeeper

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

Heart-hearted, I have to help the second shopkeeper prove his innocence. ”

Today in Ning Mansion, there are four people at a table eating together, all home-cooked food.

Chen Ping’an can only drink a bowl of wine.

Ah Liang was not polite, sat on the main seat, and asked with a smile: "You are the senior brother on the left and right, but you have never been to Ning Mansion?

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "I mentioned it before, senior brother said that Mr. Ning has never been a guest at Ning Mansion. He, a student, came to show off first. What's going on?" After a series of questions and answers, it turned out that during the sword practice at the top of the city, the senior brother's sword was relatively heavy, so he should have blamed me for being ignorant. "

A Liang took a sip of wine, shook his head and said: "You are also stupid, don't you know how to tell me, when the time comes, you will vacate the main seat for the old scholar? The old scholar had already taken his seat in advance. How dare he, a student, not sit down and accompany him? Even if your husband is not around you, he must be in your heart. "

Chen Ping'an felt that it made sense and felt deeply regretful. With the temper of his senior brother, I believe that as long as he moves out the husband, it will work whether he is present or not.

A Liang is worthy of being an elder. Jianghu, I still lack a lot of skills.

Aunt Bai complained: "My uncle is an honest person, not as crooked as you, A Liang. ”

A-Liang quickly raised the wine bowl and said, “Miss Bai, I’ll punish myself with one drink, and you and brother A-Liang will have a drink together.” "

Bai Lianshuang glared at A Liang and ignored him. She just helped Ning Yao and Chen Ping'an pick up a chopstick each.

She is a bad old woman who calls others girls. Is it okay to say this in front of the young lady and her uncle?

A Liang looked at the gray-haired old woman and felt a little sad.

I remember that when I first met Bai Lianshuang, it seemed that she was still a little sad. She is a slim girl. A woman is a pure martial artist, but she is not as good as a female Qi practitioner.

She is at a disadvantage.The sword nun of the Great Wall of Qi, it is difficult to tell her true age just by looking at her appearance.

Nalan Yexing, who is the steward of the Ning Mansion, when he first met the girl Bai Lianshuang, he actually did not look old. He looked like a man in his early forties. However, later, Bai Lianshuang first became a girl. She turned into a young woman with white hair, and Nalan Yexing also fell from the immortal state to the jade state, and her appearance suddenly looked older. In fact, when Nalan Yexing had the appearance of a middle-aged man, in A Liang's words, Brother Nalan, you are somewhat handsome. In the world, you are a first-class in-demand commodity!

Although Bai Lianshuang, who was very beautiful when she was young, was born as a maid of the Yao family, she had no worries about getting married in the Great Wall of Sword Qi where there were many swordsmen and warriors were rare.

It’s just that Bai Lianshuang has great vision and excellent martial arts qualifications, and he doesn’t like any swordsman. Year after year, the little girl turns into an old girl, and the old girl accidentally becomes an old nanny.

A Liang smiled and said: "Miss Bai, you may not know that Nalan Yexing and Jiang Yun's grandfather is the one named Jiang Chu, nicknamed Shi Zi. He is about the same age as you. There are several drunkards who are still bachelors now. When they met you in the early years, they were all scared to death and did not dare to speak. Later, they met in private and called each other shameless. Jiang Chu especially likes to scold Nalan Yexing for being old and shameless. No matter how old he is, his seniors will be obedient to his predecessors. Nalan Yexing's scolding skills are really poor and terrible. Fortunately, he is good at fighting. I once saw him with my own eyes. , while Jiang Chu was asleep, he sneaked into the Jiang family's mansion and beat him with a sap. He knocked him unconscious with one blow of the stick, and then hit his face with a few more sticks, all in one go. He would not leave until the stick broke. Every time Jiang Chu woke up, I don’t know why I got a bruise and a swollen face, but later I bought several evil-exorcism talismans.”

The old woman laughed it off, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of an empty spot near the door.

Ning Yao was a little worried and looked at Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an shook his head gently, signaling her not to worry.

For some words, Aunt Bai is the elder in the family, and Chen Pingan is just a junior after all, so it is difficult for her to speak.

It is only appropriate for A Liang.

A Liang and Bai Lianshuang talked about some old memories again.

Aunt Bai didn’t say much, she just listened.

She is indeed still unclear about many people and things related to her, because she has never cared about them before, and perhaps because she is only in this mountain.

Chen Pingan found that Ning Yao also listened very carefully, and felt helpless.

A Liang suddenly asked: "Chen Pingan, in your hometown, there are not many girls of the same age that you miss or like you?"

Chen Pingan said without thinking. : "No. I'm too young to understand this. Besides, I went to Long Kiln as an apprentice very early. According to the old rules in my hometown, women are not allowed near the entrance of the kiln."

A Liang said: "That's not right. I heard Li Huai say that your clay vaseOver there in the alley, there is a family next door with a little girl who is very charming. These are the so-called childhood sweethearts in the book. How bad can their relationship be? Li Huai said that you got up early every morning just to help carry water. He also said that there was a hole dug in the wall of your house, except that there was no window left. "

Your uncle every day.

Chen Pingan cursed in his heart and said: "Liu Xianyang likes her, but I don't. And when Li Huai met you, Aliang, he had never been to Mud Bottle Alley. Li Huai's family never went to the iron lock well to collect water, as it was too far away. There are two walls in my house. One side is next to each other and no one lives in it. The other side is next to Song Jixin’s house. If Li Huai tells lies, whoever believes them will be stupid. "

Ning Yao said: "I have seen her, and she is quite good-looking. She is not very tall, but when I looked at Chen Pingan's yard from the next door yard, if she didn't tiptoe, I could only see half of her head. "

A Liang rubbed his chin, obviously wanting to talk more, Chen Pingan raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, "After drinking, I'm going to eat. ”

During this meal, A Liang was mostly bragging about his past deeds in the world, the interesting mountain gods, narcissus, and evil spirits he had met, and said that he had once seen a person who “eat words and become fat.” He is a ghostly scholar who really knows how to eat books, and eating books can really improve his cultivation. Fortunately, he accidentally attended a mountain banquet called the Banquet of the Hundred Flowers God, and met a little girl who was hiding and crying. It turned out that she was a little Basho monster, complaining about the scholars in the world, saying that there were very few poems written about Basho, which caused her to be low-level and not accepted by her sisters. A Liang was very indignant and followed the little girl to scold scholars for not being a scholar. Then A Liang was so full of ideas that he wrote a few poems on the spot, inscribed them on the leaves, and planned to give them to the little girl. As a result, the little girl didn’t take any of the leaves or poems, and ran away. For some reason, she cried even harder. A Liang also said that he once looked at the mirror and the moon with several skeletons in the tombs in the mountains. He said that he recognized the fairy among them, but no one believed him.

Once on the small bridge in the market. , he met a woman from the mountains who was famous for her coldness as ice. When she saw no one around, she fluttered her skirts. She was so cute. He also met a group of women with long tongues on a mountain trail overgrown with weeds. The female ghost scared me to death. I also met a lonely little girl in a dilapidated grave. She was so confused that when she saw him, she shouted "Ghost" and ran around.

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

, suddenly submerged into the ground, suddenly jumped out, but could not leave the vicinity of the tomb no matter what, A Liang had to explain to the little girl that he was a good ghost. No harm. The little girl finally regained her consciousness little by little and felt sad for Ah Liang and asked him how long it had been since he saw the sun. Later, before Ah Liang left, he made a small nest for the little girl. The land is not big, it can hide the wind and collect the water, and it can be seen from the sky.

After talking about this, the man who had been in high spirits lost his smile and took a sip of wine. "I passed by again later. I'll go. Looking for the little girl, I want to know if she has grown up.Didn't get to see it. After asking, I found out that there was a passing immortal master who killed demons without asking the reason. I remember when the little girl said goodbye to me happily, she told me, haha, we are ghosts, and I will never have to be afraid of ghosts again.

A Liang picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully, "If I think about it more, even just a little bit, for example, I won't feel like a little ghost so much." Daoxing, who cares about being in the wilderness? Why do you have to be taken by me to settle down with a certain mountain and water god? After moving her nest, receiving some incense and gaining some stability, will the little girl become less happy? I thought too much about things that I shouldn’t think about, and I didn’t think too much about things that I should have thought about, such as the monks on the mountain who asked questions without thinking too much. There are so many things in the world, but I didn’t think too much about them. ”

A Liang murmured: “Many years have passed, and I still want to know whether such a helpless little girl will survive when she completely leaves this world. In fact, you still remember such a swordsman, would you want to have a word with that guy? If she wanted to say something, what would she say? Never know. "

When A Liang said this, he looked at Chen Ping'an and said, "What nonsense did I tell you about not caring about anything but ignoring it? You didn't listen to me. That's fine. This is the Li I know. Bead Cave Sky Mud Legs, everything you see in your eyes is a big deal. You don't think that A Liang is a swordsman anymore, so why bother to let go of such a trivial matter and bring it up again at the wine table. ”

A Liang raised the wine bowl and drank it all by himself.

The separation of life and death of the strong still has a sense of grandeur, while the joys and sorrows of the weak are silent. It was hard to hear whether there was any sobbing.

Ning Yao and Aunt Bai left the table first, saying they wanted to sit together at the Zhanlongya pavilion. Ning Yao asked Chen Pingan to accompany A Liang again. After drinking, Chen Pingan said that he would clear the dishes later.

After the two drank, Chen Pingan sent A Liang to the gate.

Chen Pingan suddenly remembered A Liang. Like in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Gao Hao has never had a serious place to stay.

I only know that every time A Liang finishes drinking, he hangs around with his sword, among the idle swordsmen outside the city. He can just live in the private house he left behind.

He can also lie down and sleep on the other side of the city.

A Liang said: "In the next six months, you won't be able to go to the city anyway. If you are ready to fight, then plan for yourself, raise swords, practice boxing, and refine things, so you can be busy. There is Chou Miao at the summer palace, and sword cultivators from the Yinguan lineage, even if a few young outsiders leave, can fill the vacancies and continue to perform their duties. Chunfanzhai and Yan Ming and the others are both wrong. It's okay. I'll give you a suggestion. You can go to the old deaf man's prison a few more times. If you have nothing to do, go and experience for yourself the suppression of the great demon in the Immortal Realm. It's a pity that the Ascension Realm's head was pulled out. Otherwise the effect would be better. I will say hello to the old deaf child and help you keep an eye on it so that there will be no accidents. You can take the opportunity to sharpen your natal magical power as a bird in a cage and your bottleneck as a martial artist in the seventh realm. ”

Chen Ping’an hesitated to speak.

A Liang said: "We can't delay it any longer, and there's no need to delay it any longer. It's only half a year, which is enough for the boss Sword Immortal to arrange a retreat."

Chen Pingan nodded.

A Liang smiled and said: "I have been here for the past six months."

A Liang suddenly said: "The boss swordsman is a kind man, with good swordsmanship, good character, and kind eyes. , Thick eyebrows, big eyes, a strong back and strong waist, that’s what a handsome person looks like..."

Chen Pingan was confused, wondering why A Liang’s flattery was so blunt, and then Chen Pingan found himself in the middle of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Above the city.

Near the hut, there are either old swordsmen or great swordsmen around.

The tomboy Yuan Zaixuan once gave them the top ten swordsmen in the minds of these children.

The eldest swordsman, Dong Sangen, A Liang, Lord Yin Guan, Chen Xi, Qi Tingji, left and right, Nalan Shaowei, the old deaf boy, Lu Zhi.

At this moment, Chen Pingan’s senior brothers were already in Tongyezhou, replaced by A Liang who had returned to the Sword Qi Great Wall.

As for Lord Yin Guan, he is still there, but he has been replaced by Chen Pingan from Xiao Xun.

For some reason today, ten people need to gather at the top of the city.

The old swordsman Chen Xi took the initiative to smile at the young Yin Guan, and Chen Pingping returned the gesture with fists.

Chen Qingdu put his hands behind his back and asked with a smile: "Master Yin Guan, you are the only one here who is not a swordsman."

Chen Pingan nodded helplessly.

Nalan Shaowei looked sideways and smiled.

Chen Pingan turned a blind eye and listened but did not hear.

A Liang and the old deaf boy were arm-in-arms and chatting together. The old deaf boy bowed his head, twirled his beard with his fingers, glanced at the young man for a few times, and then nodded vigorously.

Chen Qingdu said: "After we have finished talking, let's all disperse."

Most of the sword fairies returned with their swords.

Even A Liang didn’t say anything and walked away with the old deaf boy.

Chen Pingan was stunned on the spot. What?

Chen Qingdu waved his hand and said: "I brought you here, just to make up the numbers."

Chen Pingan asked tentatively: "Boss Sword Immortal, I really have nothing to do with you. ?”

Chen Qingdu shook his head with pity in his eyes.

Chen Ping'an had no choice but to use his talisman boat and returned to the city confused.

Earlier, I saw the Fengxue Temple Sword Immortal practicing swordsmanship at the northern city wall. He said hello and said that Wei Da Sword Immortal was enjoying the sun.

Wei Jin looked at the boat going away with a smile on his face, a look of pity that was no different from that of the boss swordsman. He felt stupid, a bit stupid.

When I returned to Ning Mansion, I only saw Aunt Bai at the pavilion, but not Ning Yao. The old woman just smiled and said she didn't know where the lady was.

Chen Ping'an had nothing to do for a while, but he didn't know what to do, so he went to the summer palace with his sword to find something to do.

Ning Yao is sitting in his room, writing the word "Chen" seriously.

After I finished writing, I lay on the table in a daze.

On the table, ChenSeveral books were placed next to the landscape travel notes presented by Pingan. Chen Pingan's name was written on every page, and only his first name was written on it.

Write Chen today, Ping tomorrow, and An the day after tomorrow.

Only write one word a day, and a Chen Ping'an every three days.

She is different from Chen Pingan. After Chen Pingan met her, he traveled thousands of miles and had many stories.

After she and Chen Ping'an reunited in Hanging Mountain, her story seems to be that there is only one Chen Ping'an.
