Entering the alley house, Liu Qingfeng and Chen Ping'an reminisced about the past, but compared to the reminiscences between fellow villagers Chen Ping'an and Zhao Yao, they were more "outside".
Most of them talked about the customs and customs of Qingluan Country, as well as Liuqing Mountain and the Lion Park. Liu Qingfeng's younger brother Liu Qingshan, after getting married to Liu Boqi, the crown prince of his master's knife room, he has been traveling far away for many years. During this period, he went to Daoxuan Mountain. It was a bit like visiting relatives. Becoming a disciple on the mountain was like reincarnation. Liu Boqi's mentor was the garrison. The old lady with the crown hanging upside down at the gate, Jiang Yunsheng, the "little Taoist boy" from Baiyujing Green City, and Zhang Lu, the swordsman of the Great Sword Qi Wall, are two worlds apart from each other. When Liu Boqi returned to his master's knife room that year, Liu Qingfeng visited Daoxuan Mountain for the first time. The news was received from the summer palace, but Chen Ping'an did not show up at that time.
After sitting down, Chen Pingan smiled and said: "The first time I saw a certain landscape travel book in a foreign land, my first thought was that Mr. Liu had no intention of pursuing an official career and wanted to sell his writings to make money."
The old man who had an old relationship with Li Jin, the water god of the Chongdan River, was the head of the Qing Li Department in the temple. The Qing Li Department, Zhao Yao's Civil Service Examination Department, and the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War had always been Da Li. The most powerful "small" yamen in the dynasty. The old man once participated in a landscape hunt carefully set up by Da Li to surround and suppress a man wearing a bamboo hat and a sword in Hongzhu Town. It's just that there's not much suspense, so I singled out a group for that person.
After that, the old man took Ruan Xiu and Xu Xiaoqiao from the Longquan Sword Sect to the south of Shujian Lake, and finally settled in Furong Mountain, where he stuck to a stick to catch butterflies and flies, and hunted down a native of Dali. The martial arts embryo. So the old saying goes that there are many old stories about old people.
He is no stranger to this mountain owner of Luo Luo Mountain. Moreover, for more than two decades, no matter how Peiyun Mountain of Beiyue Mountain King Wei Bo helped Luolu Mountain cover the clouds and fog, it could not escape the scrutiny of the three parties of the Ministry of Rites of Dali, the Supervisory Office and Luolu Mountain God Song Yuzhang. However, as time went by, Song Yuzhang's golden body and ancestral temple were moved to Qidun Mountain, and the supervisor Cao Gengxin was also promoted to the capital of Dali. In addition, the ascension platform collapsed, and this earth-shattering incident caused the Ministry of Rites of Dali to collapse. The secret surveillance of Luolu Mountain has also come to an end. Whether it was the support and respect that the two Dali emperors had for Beiyue Wei Bo, the choice of the careless Cao Gengxin to serve as the kiln supervisor who could directly report secrets to the imperial study, and the move of Song Yuzhang out of Luolu Mountain, it was also a show of goodwill.
So the young sect leader’s straightforward joke after he sat down made the old man detect a hint of murderous intent.
Is he planning to settle accounts with Da Li Qiuhou?
To be honest, if it was not his duty, the old doctor would be very reluctant to deal with this young man.
My life experience is too complicated. Acting style, too cautious. Over the years, the old doctor has often read the secret files of the Ministry of Etiquette from time to time, as a dish to accompany wine. I want to find out what is "natural" in the process of the young mountain owner of Luoluo Mountain's success. But whether it was Chen Pingan's bleak years as a kiln worker's apprentice in his hometown, or his later work as a bookkeeper in Shujian Lake, the old man could only see the words "lost and dejected." But it seems like every timeAs soon as the pages of the book are turned, Chen Ping'an will quietly climb to a higher place again. If it were an ordinary young man, many of the old grievances located at the lower part of the mountain would have been settled quickly and neatly. As a result, the young mountain owner just stayed there, year after year, and refused to move.
According to the fairy family on the mountain, the mountaintop at the boundary of Beiyue and the Longxing land of the Dali Song family are actually only a few steps away. They are quietly under the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. Being promoted to a sect and bypassing the Great Li Dynasty was in line with the etiquette of the Confucian Temple, but not reasonable.
Just like the townspeople and villages full of trivial matters, a simple and honest man who has endured most of his life suddenly bought a pot of good wine one day, drank silently, and drank a lot, smelling of alcohol all over his body at night. He raised the knife and came out.
In this fish and meat village of evil gentry and dandy children, others can still be wary, but how can one predict an honest man's violent murder?
There is no tea or wine on the table.
Anyway, Chen Pingan is also a guest.
Liu Qingfeng said with a smile: "If I am really a ghostwriter, except for the opening few thousand words, I will keep them all without changing a word, and the rest will be greatly changed. I will meet by chance in the rivers and lakes, and talk about how beautiful it is, imitating the beach of bones." The painting of the mural city is imitated by the Huashen Mountain in Yunku Blessed Land, and is accompanied by twelve colorful paintings of beauties. The strange and strange scenes on the mountain are mostly written with twists and turns, and the color is thick and colorful. The emphasis is on the character of fighting with people, and the decisiveness of the killing. Never be sloppy, and emphasize the word ruthlessness. When you are in an officialdom, you should praise him for being an old Taoist government, and for being impeccable in life, highlighting the word "steadiness". The famous people of the three religions talked about it sincerely, discussing Taoism and the teachings of Zen, which are nothing more than idle words. It makes people feel that they are walking on high places, with mountains as the ground, white clouds at their feet, and flying birds on their shoulders. . The simplicity of the text is straightforward and takes advantage of the complexity of the text, but it is an embroidered pillow. In the final analysis, it is just the human nature of a person who is "fearful of poverty". The word "Business" is what I do. When I get money, it's for profit, for pragmatism, for the sake of improving my realm, and for the sake of my future. Where I lose money, it's for fame, for raising hopes, for accumulating moral virtue, and for earning beauty. "Heart."
"Find the Qionglin Sect in Luzhou, Beiju, and give me a ninety-one account. I don't even need a copper coin. I just want all the market books in every place under the mountain except Xianjia Ferry." How many landscape travel notes should there be? The first volume? The person who wrote the first volume has a subtle and bottomless mind. There are dozens of details in the book that are worthy of careful consideration and can be chewed by gentlemen and hypocrites. In the second volume, it is written that he acted brightly and had an upright mind. In the midst of chaos, he sneaked into the military tents of the wild world and defeated many great monsters on the throne. With his own strength, he played with people's hearts, like a fish in water, and made immortal achievements with his whole heart. "< /p>
Hearing this, Chen Pingan smiled and said: "The key to whether the travel book will be published in another volume depends on whether this person can escape safely and return to his hometown to establish a sect."
Fortunately, these It's all a review of the chess game. Fortunately, Liu Qingfeng is not like thatA book writer.
A scholar who can only stand up and talk about his heart cannot afford to make trouble at all. His wonderful pens and numerous works may not be able to compete with a nursery rhyme, and the world will be turned upside down. But every scholar who can gain a firm foothold in the officialdom, especially if this person can rise to the top, should not be easily provoked.
Liu Qingfeng laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, have you ever thought that I am actually very wary of you?"
Chen Ping'an was noncommittal and asked, "I know very well Liu Your husband's character is not that of a person who worries about whether he can win a reputation during his lifetime. So he is worried about not being able to 'finish his affairs as king'?"
Liu Qingfeng patted the handle of the chair, shook his head and said: " I also firmly believe in Mr. Chen’s character, so I never worry that Mr. Chen will become the second Haoran Jia Sheng or that he will become a well-educated scholar in Aoping Island. I am just worried that the chair in Aoping Island is still loose. It was not really solid yet. After Mr. Chen returned home, he took advantage of the general trend and had good fortune. Then he sat there and swayed, and it collapsed accidentally."
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "So that's why. What do you mean by His Majesty the Emperor?"
Liu Qingfeng said: "So His Majesty the Emperor hopes that Master Chen can also serve as the head of Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain. Whether it was the old Zhuying dynasty in the central part of the continent, Tongyezhou or Beiju Luzhou, the Dali imperial court would do their best to help the literary sage lineage spread its branches. Within the mountains and rivers of the three continents, the knowledge of the literary sage lineage was the only one respected, but We will not reject the contention of a hundred schools of thought. We will strive to have at least ten academies in the Sanzhou territory, including Shanya Academy, Linlu Academy, Guanhu Academy, Yufu Academy, and Dafu Academy, erect monuments and inscriptions at the mountain gates. Take the Sui Shanya Academy as an example, which has the inscription "Encouraging Learning" and the Linlu Academy erecting the monument "Cultivating the Self". Maybe one day, there will be a thirty-second academy erecting a monument."
Haoran. In Jiuzhou, Confucianism established seventy-two academies as a rule.
As for the inscription at the mountain gate of the academy, there are no restrictions. Whether or not a stone tablet should be erected at the mountain gate, as well as the content of the inscription, only depends on the preferences of the previous academy chiefs. However, it generally followed a rule that only increased but never decreased. There was only one exception, that is, after the end of the March 4th War, because the statue of Wen Sheng was moved out of the Chinese Confucian Temple and lost its status as a companion, many academy inscriptions were revoked.
Chen Ping'an leaned back in his chair and asked with a smile: "What do you need me to do?"
Liu Qingfeng shook his head, "Master Chen only needs to be the owner and chief of the mountain. It is the blessing of Dali and Aquarius Island that everyone should be safe and sound."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "The matter is important, let me think about it carefully, the sage taught me to think twice before I act. Anyway, one thing can be guaranteed, I will never make it difficult for Mr. Liu to be a human being, and Luo Po Shan will never make it difficult for Shangshu Liu to be an official."
"I wish Luo Po Shan a successful career in the Haoran Sect. Every step is going smoothly, the sun is high in the sky, and the sky is high."
Liu Qingfeng stood up, clasped his fists and smiled: "I believe this day will definitely come, but according to what Mr. Guan said.Well, Mr. Liu is already in his thirties who can't walk, can't chew meat, and can't bear to comb his hair. It's a pity that he probably won't be able to see such a grand occasion. No matter what, Mr. Chen has such a proud disciple as Bianxiu Cao, and Mr. Liu has such a half-disciple. He needs to express his gratitude in person and give an extra congratulation to Mr. Chen. The cultural line is flourishing.
Chen Pingan returned the salute with clasped fists, "Cao Qinglang is the second best student in the new department, and he is also a half-official protégé of Mr. Liu. It's a blessing." I also need to say congratulations to the Dali imperial court for its brilliant literary talent. ”
In the examination held by the capital of Da Li, because the territory still covered the mountains and rivers of half of the continent, there were thousands of students who took the examination. According to the new rules, Da Li divided the Jinshi into the top five, and finally except for the top one The top three were awarded Jinshi and the title of Maolin Lang, 15 people were awarded the title of Jinshi in the second place, more than 300 people were awarded the title of Jinshi in the third and fourth places, and dozens of people were awarded the title of Jinshi in the fifth place. The examiner was Liu. Qingfeng, the two junior examiners, are the deputy principals of Shanya Academy and Guanhu Academy. According to the rules of the examination hall, Liu Qingfeng is the master of this imperial examination. All Jinshi are Liu Qingfeng's disciples. Because of the last imperial examination, during the more than 100 years since Xiu Hu Cui Chan served as the imperial advisor, Emperor Da Li had always followed the proposed candidates and just went through the motions
Zhao Yao's reputation was relatively unknown. , is one of the many marking officers, assigned to the examination hall, and is one of the dozen examination room masters. Moreover, Zhao Yao's Chinese disciples have the smallest number of Jinshi compared to other marking officers, with only two second-class Jinshi.
The top pick Zhang Ding, the second pick Cao Qinglang
The youngest among the eighteen, Yang Shuang is very handsome. If it were not for a fifteen-year-old prodigy who was a Jinshi, Yang would only be eighteen years old. Shuang is the youngest new scholar in the examination, and Yang Shuang's "exploration of flowers" on horseback in Lijing City once attracted a crowd of people.
Among the fifteen other second-class scholars, Lang Mao Lin. Wang Qinruo has the best literary talent and is known as "ethereal and ethereal, with many fairy words". In addition, the two brothers are both surnamed Cheng. The two brothers are highly regarded.
The first three, together with the three Maolin Langs Wang Qinruo and "Er Cheng", these six people are now assisting bachelors and literary leaders in the Hanlin Academy. The compilation, screening, and editing of four major books.
After the three of them walked out of the house, Liu Qingfeng stopped at the door and said with a smile: "I will chat with Mr. Chen for a few more words. ”
The old man from the Qing Dynasty Bureau nodded, said goodbye to Chen Pingan first, and left quickly, walking out of the alley.
Liu Qingfeng and Chen Pingan walked in the alley together. As expected, it was just chatting, talking about something irrelevant to the situation of a country and a half of the continent, and said softly: "There must be a few disciples of the Jianghu sect who can dance with spears and sticks, and who can dance with writing. Otherwise, the master's superb boxing and kicking skills and the wonderful legend of the world would be buried. In the same way, in the scholarly literary world, or even in the larger Confucian orthodox context, the truth is actually the same. Once the incense has faded, there will be no successors, and the writing skills will not be good, or it will be used to promote the great achievements of the ancestors.If you are not good at it, you will suffer a big loss. As for what is true or false here, or is it partly true or partly fake, it is similar to the landscape travelogue I mentioned earlier. People actually just watch the excitement. There are so many worries in life, so how can they have so much free time? Go find out the truth. It was like someone was mourning in the alley next door. Passers-by might find those heart-wrenching cries a bit annoying and unlucky. When we were welcoming a bride on the street, the sedan chair overturned. When passers-by saw the beautiful bride, they were overjoyed and got it for nothing. If the bride is mediocre in appearance and vulgar, or the groom falls off his horse and looks ugly, delaying the bridal night, others will be a little happier. As for whether the bride is good-looking or ugly, it actually has nothing to do with it. Passers-by don't matter, but who cares. ”
The old man was okay when he was sitting and talking, but when he walked and talked, Liu Qingfeng’s breath was a little unsteady and his steps were slow.
Chen Ping’an had already reached out to hold the old minister’s arm. He nodded and smiled: "I don't know when everyone in the world will be able to read books, recognize truth, and distinguish truth from lies. "
Liu Qingfeng let out a sigh and said in surprise: "You can't distinguish right from wrong? ”
Chen Pingan said: “It will always be difficult to know the truth and falsehood of things in the world. As for whether you have right and wrong in your heart, it has little to do with whether you read or not.
Liu Qingfeng nodded, and then reminded: "The more peaceful and prosperous the times are, the flattery of scholars, especially when they get involved in officialdom, will be full of flowers, and the ferocity of scholars will be dipped in ink, and they can be hidden very well." , the better you write, the longer it will last, so you have to be careful. If you are not a disciple of the Literary Sage lineage, these are all external matters and you don’t need to worry about them. You can achieve immortality and cut off the world of mortals. You can stamp your feet and shake your shoulders. There is something happening at the bottom of the mountain, but nothing happens on the mountain. You are still you, and you are light-hearted in everything. ”
Enter the door
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is a minister of the Ministry of Rites of Dali who has experienced the turmoil of the officialdom. The mountain master was talking about business.
When he left the house, he was just Liu Qingfeng, a scholar in his twilight years, talking about the world and people's hearts.
I couldn't tell. Chen Ping'an, who is the leader of a clan, is still a scholar and has not endured many hardships. He does not know how to follow the local customs without being able to do it. Wanli Road, the poor boy in the back alleys has really succeeded in traveling far away.
Chen Pingan said: "Mr. Liu, please don't worry, in addition to Liu Qingshan and Liu Boqi, who are friends, there are also people from Qingluan Kingdom. I will try my best to protect the people and things that should be protected in the Lion Garden, Liu's ancestral home, and in every future reading seed. "
Liu Qingfeng said helplessly: "I didn't mean that. ”
Chen Ping’an smiled and said: “Unfortunately, I have this intention. "
Liu Qingfeng is not that kind of pedantic person. If he smiles knowingly, he will accept it kindly.
Liu Qingfeng was silent for a moment, stood with Chen Pingan at the intersection of the alley, and asked Said: "Together with the three people living in seclusion in Huimeng Mountain,Internally, you always like to look for trouble and trouble yourself, just for the sake of something.
Chen Pingan thought for a while and joked: "It rains suddenly and the roads are muddy. Who shouldn't be drowned a few times?"
Liu Qingfeng nodded and said: "It's the first day after the rain, and it's the hot summer season, so it's a bit lovely in winter." "
There was a carriage not far away, and the two parties bowed and said goodbye.
After Liu Qingfeng walked out for a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "That doctor of ours? "
Chen Ping'an looked confused, "Who? "
Liu Qingfeng hummed and said suddenly: "I am too old to remember things. The doctor just said goodbye and left."
The old man turned around, then turned around and asked with a smile: "How big is the hidden official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi?" "
Chen Ping'an replied: "The official is not small, but the official power is not great. ”
Chen Pingan leaned against the wall of the alley, with his hands in his sleeves, watching the old man board the carriage and leave slowly in the night.
If there is no accident, he and Mr. Liu There is no chance to meet again. With the nourishment of medicinal food and elixir, it can at least extend the life of ordinary people who have never practiced mountain climbing. Faced with the end of life and death, there is no way to save it. And the more properly nourished, the better. When the body and mind are exhausted, the body and mind become haggard, and it becomes more and more like an unstoppable flood bursting its banks. If you try to continue your life by force, it will be a three-point poison, and you may even have to exchange your life span for something similar to "returning to the light" < /p>
In addition to the medicine for regret, there is actually no magic pill that can cure all diseases.
As soon as Liu Qingfeng left, he probably accompanied the lord Song in the capital to gather his salary. He breathed a sigh of relief, but his majesty, the emperor of the capital, had to worry about the posthumous title. It was more trouble than guilt.
Dong Shuijing came to Chen Pingan and asked: "Chen Pingan, you already know about me. Is the identity of the person who borrowed the knife? "
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I don't know.
Dong Shuijing did not hide anything, "It was Mr. Xu who went to the wonton shop on the mountain and found me and asked me to consider being a credit card holder." After weighing the pros and cons, I agreed. I have walked barefoot for too many years, but I don’t want to wear only straw sandals for the rest of my life.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Which of us is following whom? Don't talk to me about these nonsense. I feel that I have no money to marry a wife, and I am worried that Lin Shouyi is the college boy." , or is he a god on the mountain, he will be the first to get there, so he is determined to make a lot of money and save enough money to be a wife, so that he can have the confidence to go to Uncle Li to propose marriage? Let me tell you, you are too thin-skinned. If you leave me alone, haha, the water tank at my uncle and aunt's house is never empty every day. Li Huai goes to Sui Dynasty? Just follow. Uncle, aunt, and the others are going to Luzhou, Beiju. The worst they can do is leave later and follow them. Anyway, they will be stalking each other. ”
Dong Shuijing almost suffered from internal injuries, except for Chen Ping’an, otherwise who wouldn’t try to open a certain pot?
Dong Shuijing suddenly looked at this guy and said : "That's not right. According to your statement and the information I heard from Li Huai, it seems that this is what you did.Right? Protect Li Huai when he travels far away to study, build a good relationship with his future brother-in-law, and work hard all the way. Li Huai has the best relationship with you alone. Visiting guests across continents, helping to attract business in a shop at the foot of Lion Peak, and making neighbors praise you?
Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said, "Can I be the same as you and Lin Shouyi?" Since you like a woman, you are so timid and timid. "
Dong Shuijing sighed, "That's right. You said you were going to the Sword Qi Great Wall, so you went. ”
Dong Shuijing actually admires Chen Ping’an the most.
When he was a boy, he carried his sword and traveled far away from the upside down mountain to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, just to be with his beloved. Meet the girl. If you like her, you have to let her know. It's best if she doesn't like it. It seems that the boy is not afraid of knowing it.
The same goes for Lin Shouyi. The two were cowards, and in the end they could only drink together and put on some bluster.
Dong Shuijing suddenly said: "You can walk such a long distance without fear of thousands of mountains and rivers. So what about Shenxiu Mountain? It’s so close to Luolu Mountain. Why don’t you go there even once? ”
Chen Pingan was silent, not knowing whether he was speechless or the answer in his heart was not suitable to be said.
There are some things on the road of life, not only the love between men and women, but also a lot of regrets , just like a person who has never been to the Great Wall of Swords.
Maybe he never wants to go, but he never knows.
————
Chen Pingan hid his figure and returned to Luolu Mountain from Yufeng in Zhoucheng.
In the archives room at Jilingfeng, the main mountain, was Zhang Lu. In Changshou's territory, Jiang Shangzhen and Cui Dongshan have carefully read the secret records about Zhengyang Mountain and Qingfeng City. There are dozens of them, filed into nine categories, involving the landscapes prefixed by the two sects. Genealogy, vassal power, overt and covert financial resources, the status of many guests and ministers, the roots of the disciples, the intricate grievances on the mountain, and the strength of the enemies on both sides... There are detailed annotations and circles on top of each secret book. Painting, with vermilion words written on the side including "conclusive", "doubtful", "expandable", and "must dig deeper".
Although Zhang Jiazhen is a young accountant in Quanfu, these are actually the words. For so many years, Zhang Jiazhen has been assisting in the classification of files and information.
Seeing Chen Pingan knocking on the door, Zhang Jiazhen said softly: "Mr. Chen. ”
It’s out of habit.
Just like those sword fairy embryos, when they see Chen Pingan, they still like to call Master Cao. Chen Lingjun still likes to call him Master.
< p>Chen Pingan smiled and nodded in greeting. He came to the table and opened a secret book with "Zhengyang Mountain Incense" written on the page. He found the entry of the Dali Imperial Court and took a pen to write down the name of the feudal lord Song Mu. The name was circled and a comment was made beside it: "This person does not count, the feudal residence remains." Chen Pingan took out the genealogy of the Zhengyang Mountain Patriarch Hall and circled Tian Wan's name repeatedly.After drawing it, I asked Chang Ming for a page alone and started to write. Jiang Shangzhen was amazed. Cui Dongshan kept saying good words and good words. Finally, Chen Pingan sandwiched the piece of paper in the book and closed the book. , stretched out his hand against the book, stood up and said with a smile: "It's just such a number one person. He is even more humble than us in Luo Luoshan. He is a senior in both his work and life. That's why I mobilized all my troops to let you two explore together." No matter how hard it is, don't let her escape. As for whether it will scare the snake, don't force it. If she sees something bad and decides to run away, you can just invite her to Luopo Mountain as a guest. No matter how big the noise is, Tian Wan will be ignored. The weight is not a bit lighter than Zhengyang Mountain, a sword-like cloud."Jiang Shangzhen said: "Han Yushu?"
Chen Pingan nodded: "It's very likely."
Jiang Shangzhen was gearing up and said in high spirits: "Now that Tongye Continent has been established and Aquarius Continent has been established, then a certain mastermind behind Luzhou in Beiju is hiding in Qiongzhou, where Qiongfeng is not making any money. Is Lin Zong there?”
Beiju Luzhou is a place where Jiang Shangzhen is very familiar. It is his second hometown. He has friends all over the mountain. In Beiju Luzhou, all he needs to do is say Jiang Shangzhen’s name and drink. No need to spend any money.
Cui Dongshan said softly: "Sir, we only need to use the knife, and the knife must be fast, so fast that it has cut the opponent's neck without the opponent knowing it. Accurate, steady, and ruthless. Just like Mr. Taiping in Taiping Mountain, pick up a Han Yushu."
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Liu Xianyang and I are in the light, and you two are in the dark. The land of Three Continents is not close to the Middle Earth Divine Continent, so it is enough. . After all, there is only one swordsman, Pei Min, and we just met him again."
There are really not many people that the three of them can deal with together.
Cui Dongshan looked at Chief Zhou with a smile and said: "If someone wants to imitate half of the Zhongxing ancestor of your Jade Guizong, be the Dragon Crossing the River?"
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile : "Of course we must show our kindness as landlords. Even if there is no Dragon Crossing the River, we must rely on Sister Tian Wan and me, 'Han Yushu', to create opportunities for the Dragon Crossing the River to visit Aquarius Continent." p>
Chen Ping'an glanced at another pile of books, which were secret records about the Xu family in Qingfeng City. After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't turn the pages.
Afraid that he might not be able to hold it back, he called Liu Xianyang and went straight to Qingfeng City. Compared with Zhengyang Mountain, the grievances there are simpler and clearer.
So Chen Pingan just pulled out a booklet recording the landscape genealogy of Zhengyang Mountain and found the mountain-protecting offerings on the first few pages.
Cui Dongshan lay on the table and said with emotion: "This mountain-moving ancestor has already made a name for himself in the whole continent."
Jiang Shangzhen glanced at the real name of the mountain-moving ape. , Yuan Zhenye. Most of the people who move mountains in the world have the surname Yuan.
Jiang Shangzhen looked solemn, "A being that can allow the mountain master and Ning Yao to join forces to fight against the enemy. They cannot defeat them, but can only outwit them?"
Sifting intelligence and recording secret records with his own hands? Zhang Jiazhen was shocked.
Lord Yin Guan and Ning Yao once joined forces to fight against Yuan Zhenye?Could it be that I missed some shocking inside story? But here at Luopo Mountain, no one from the chief steward Zhu Lian, to the head officer Changming, to Wei Shanjun mentioned this secret matter.
Zhang Jiazhen stared at that page, and her mind suddenly changed. This protector of Zhengyang Mountain used to protect Tao Zi on his trip to Lizhu Cave, and there were two huge incidents. feat.
I almost moved Piyun Mountain back to Zhengyang Mountain.
With the old vassal king Song Changjing, at the Supervisory Office, the two sides stopped and had a fist fight, regardless of the winner or loser.
Later on, the Piyun Mountain was promoted to the New North Mountain of Great Li, and finally to the Great North Mountain of the entire Aquarius Continent.
As for Song Changjing, he first rose to the top of the world from the ninth level martial artist, and finally on the Dadu battlefield in the middle of the capital, relying on the martial arts of Banzhou, he used the legendary eleventh level martial arts posture, boxing Kill two immortals.
So the reputation of the mountain-moving ape increased accordingly.
Zhang Jiazhen knows these things very well. But according to my previous evaluation, Yuan Zhenye's cultivation level, even if it is calculated in terms of Yupu level, is at most equal to Xu Hun, the lord of Qingfeng City.
Chen Pingan pinched the page with his fingers, turned it over, and then turned it back to check the content. He did not look at Yuan Zhenye’s monastic habits or who he was friends with, but only looked at the mountain ape. Since I have served as the guardian of Zhengyang Mountain for thousands of years, I have read dozens of deeds, large and small, on the mountain and down the mountain twice.
Zhang Jiazhen became increasingly uneasy and said softly: "Mr. Chen, I made an oversight and shouldn't have written so carelessly."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Is this still careless? Ning Yao and I were at such a high level back then that it was certainly very difficult to build a mountain to protect Zhengyang Mountain and we had to work hard."
Jiang Shangzhen sighed: "Moving Piyun Mountain and asking Song Changjing, Accepting Chen Yinguan and Feishengcheng Ning Yao's joint sword inquiry, each one was more scary than the last. My years in Beiju Luzhou were really in vain. I was so energetic that I caused trouble everywhere, which is not as good as the days of Patriarch Yuan. The wealth accumulated through hard work. Who dares to be disrespectful when traveling to the Divine Continent? It’s so annoying.”
Chen Ping’an closed the book and said, “Don’t be angry.” p>
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Because the ancestor who moved the mountains is not a human being."
Jiang Shangzhen nodded and said: "Then I am called a beast."
Zhang Jiazhen listened. I couldn't even get a word in.
Long-lasting palms and full smiles.
Chen Pingan took Jiang Shangzhen and Cui Dongshan to the old temple site on the top of the mountain.
First, Cui Dongshan set up a landscape restriction of golden thunder pools around the white jade railings on the top of the mountain.
Chen Pingan then took out a heavily restricted picture scroll from something close by. He grasped the white jade scroll at one end tightly with one hand and shook it gently. The picture scroll spread out. Chen Pingan let go and gently Lifting both sleeves, the scroll "soars", hangs in the air, and rotates slowly.
Cui Dongshan and Jiang Shangzhen looked at each other, then smiled at each other, both sides suddenly realized.
At that time, Chen Ping'an was outside Tiangong Temple and asked Pei Min about the sword.
Cui Dongshan and Jiang Shangzhen, in fact, have always been puzzled about a crucial link, that is, how their respective husbands, the mountain masters, could withstand Pei Min's full force. How could the sword protect the white jade hairpin in the end? Before Cui Dongshan got the jade hairpin, even if Pei Min couldn't kill with one sword without swordsmanship, he could still kill Chen Ping'an again if he smashed the white jade hairpin.
This picture, which is now very likely to become the Luolu Mountain Protective Formation, is the answer.
Hanging upside down on the mountain, Jingjian Pavilion, there is a picture scroll of the Sword Immortal.
These half-sword spirits
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Sword immortals and heroic spirits once accompanied the young hidden officials and guarded the half-sword together. Qi Great Wall.
Chen Pingan twisted out three sticks of incense and gave them to Cui Dongshan and Jiang Shangzhen, one stick each.
Chen Ping'an saluted and said silently in his heart: "Crossing the upside-down mountain, the sword reaches the awe-inspiring heights."
Then Jiang Shangzhen and Cui Dongshan left Luopo Mountain to explore the road first.
Whether it is Jiang Shangzhen or Cui Dongshan, either one of them can do things that are reassuring enough. With both of them together, Chen Ping'an doesn't know how to write the word "worry".
Chen Ping'an walked to the bamboo house and took out a bottle of wine, feeling a little hesitant.
Zhu Lian came to sit down at the stone table by the cliff and asked softly: "Is the master worried?"
Chen Ping'an originally wanted to find the old cook and said As soon as he discussed this matter, he told Zhu Lian about the state of mind that Pei Qian had seen when he was young, and also told Zhu Lian about the Five Dreams and Seven Hearts of Lu Chen taught by Bai Yujing San.
I dreamed of the Confucian master Zheng Xu respectively. In the dream, I rested on a skull and dreamed again. I dreamed that the oak tree was alive, the dream spirit turtle died, and the dream turned into a butterfly. I don’t know who is who.
In addition to the five dreams, there are seven more phases, which are manifested one after another following Lu Chen's journey on the great road. Woodcock, toon tree, mole, kunpeng, oriole, quail, butterfly.
Of course, there is also the lotus crown of Blessed Land Ding Ying.
Zhu Lian cupped his fists and said with a smile: "First of all, thank you for your sincerity."
Then they were silent.
Chen Pingan turned his head and found that Zhu Lian looked at ease, leaning on the stone table, looking out over the cliff, smiling, and even a little... relieved, as if he had finally woken up from a big dream. , and like a tired person who has not been able to sleep soundly for a long time, he finally falls into a sweet dream, seeming to be sleeping but not sleeping, seeming to be awake but not awake, the whole person is in a mysterious and mysterious state. This is by no means the state that a pure martial artist would have, but more like the enlightenment of a Taoist, I understand.
Wei Bo felt the feeling in his heart and immediately appeared in Luolu Mountain, but he did not dare to approach the stone table and just stood under the bamboo corridor.
Chen Lingjun and Zhou Mili, who had returned from the mountain patrol, came strutting along the path. Wei Bo put a finger up to his mouth, signaling the two to stop talking.
Zhu Lian turned his head, looked at Chen Ping'an, and said: "If this is a big dream, Lu Chen will wake up first and I will help him."I helped Lu Chen reach the fifteenth level, what should I do? "
Chen Pingan replied without hesitation: "What should I do? It's very simple, Zhu Lian must still be Zhu Lian, don't sleep, wake up. Besides, it’s just me traveling far away with my sword and asking Bai Yujing. "
Zhu Lian stood up, and Chen Pingan also stood up. He reached out and grabbed the old cook's arm, "It's settled. "
Zhu Lian smiled and nodded: "I finally know where the dream is, so I will have a target next. Interpreting dreams is actually not difficult. Because the answer is already halfway there. "
Chen Pingan said: "My senior brother Xiuhu and student Dongshan. ”
Lu Chen returned to his hometown of Haoran Tianxia and set up a fortune-telling stall in Lizhu Cave for many years. It is very likely that he had a "convenient" Taoist contemplation, waiting for Cui Chan and Cui Dongshan's marriage. The difference between souls and Cui Dongshan’s creation of porcelain figures are all stones from other mountains that can attack jade.
Zhu Lian noticed that Chen Ping’an was still holding his arm and said with a smile: “Sir, so do I. She is not a beautiful woman. Don't let it spread out and cause misunderstanding. "
Wei Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed that Zhu Lian turned his head and looked at him with a smile. Wei Bo had to swallow his words back.
Chen Pingan let go. He held his hand and said with a smile: "You really think I'm stupid. Shi Rou's attitude towards you has changed so much when she closed the plank road there. She must have seen something, otherwise her temper is definitely not what you said to her. It makes sense to her. I just think that everyone has their own secrets, and they deliberately don’t ask and pretend not to know. "
Zhu Lian stretched out a finger, rubbed his temples, and asked tentatively: "Sir, will I show my true face to others in the future? ”
Chen Pingan nodded and said, “Why not?” We in Luopo Mountain are all sects, so this is not a problem. "
Zhu Lian turned his back to the bamboo building and took off his two faces, revealing his true face.
Crazy Wu. Your noble son. Banished the immortal.
Chen Pingan is very clear about the rumors about Lotus Flower Blessed Land that are spread all over the world, but what kind of noble son he is, what kind of immortal he is, and what kind of immortal appearance and magnanimity he has. In the past, Chen Pingan felt that he was exhausted, that is, Lu Tai, Cui Dongshan, and Wei Bo Like this.
So at this moment, Chen Pingan was stunned for a long time as if he was struck by lightning. He turned his head and glanced at Wei Bo, who was gloating about his misfortune, and then glanced at Zhu Lian, who was still stooped. Chen Pingan bared his teeth. Grinning, the smile turned awkward at the end, and he even subconsciously took two steps back, as if he felt at ease if he was far away from Zhu Lian's face. He lowered his voice and persuaded: "Zhu Lian, I'd better be your old cook. This kind of thing, Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water, Making money is unconscionable, and the reputation is not very good. "
"Indeed, the most shameless thing in the world is to rely on your face to make a living. ”
Zhu Lian nodded, with a warm and unfamiliar voice, and then smiled and covered two pieces of dough again, one from the shopkeeper Yan Fang and one from the old cook.
< p>Chen Pingan reminded: "Voice, don't forget your voice. "Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Okay. "
Finally, his face and voice became that of the familiar old cook.
Chen Pingan was relieved, but he added, "If Luopo Mountain is really short of money in the future, let's talk about it."
Luopo Mountain's Mirror Flowers and Moon in the Mirror is indeed worth looking forward to.
Zhu Lian.
Jiang Shangzhen, Mi Yu, Wei Bo. Cui Dongshan.
Among the guests, there is also Liu Zhiqing. In the future, we can add Lin Junbi...
The younger generation, Chen Li, Bai Xuan...
There are so many talents, there is no need to worry about the lack of talent.
The two sat down, and Chen Pingan took out two pots of glutinous rice wine and waved to Wei Bo.
Chen Lingjun followed Wei Bo, taking a bite from Brother Wei, which was as hot as a plate of food that had just been served to the table.
The attitude towards Wei Shanjun has been repeated since Chen Lingjun came to Luopo Mountain. There is an obvious watershed. The mountain owner went down the mountain to travel far away and had no support at home. Chen Lingjun was more polite with Wei Shanjun. The master of the mountain was on Luolu Mountain, and Chen Lingjun and Brother Wei were not related to each other.
Monks who climb mountains usually forget about eating but not about eating. Uncle Jingqing is better, he only thinks about eating but not about eating.
A limping child came to the stone table with a bruised nose and swollen face. For the first time, he did not have his hands behind his back.
Bai Xuan covered his face with one hand and said vaguely: "Master Yin Guan, I still have to practice boxing, but can you not let Pei Qian teach boxing? She is not kind and does not stress the situation. Ah."
Chen Lingjun lowered his head and struggled to hold back his laughter.
Zhou Mili scratched his face, stood up, made way for the taller Bai Xuan, and asked in a low voice: "How much pressure do you want Pei to have?"
Bai Xuan Xuan Nu said: "I gave her a high look and thought she was in the Golden Body realm. She had already agreed in advance that she could conquer the Fourth Realm. She pretended to be polite to me and said that she could conquer the Fifth Realm."
Bai Xuan quickly turned his head and looked at the path near the bamboo house. There was no sign of Pei Qian, and then he continued: "It turned out that her punches were so fierce that I couldn't even see her punch. I was floating back and forth in the air, scurrying around like a flying sword. After receiving many punches, I finally landed. As soon as I landed, the instep of Pei Qian was right in front of me. When I woke up, Pei Qian squatted aside and said that she temporarily closed her feet, otherwise I would have to vomit blood while eating, or... walk around while sleeping."
Bai Xuan looked sad, rubbed his cheeks that were as red and swollen as steamed buns, and said sadly: "Master Yin Guan, how did you accept a disciple? Pei Qian is a liar. How can there be such a way to feed a fist in the world? Talking about friendship as if I were her enemy."
Chen Pingan felt a little sad, and then said softly: "Are you stupid? Next time I ask Quan if she can beat the Sixth Realm, as long as she nods. Promise, I will never be biased about what happens next."
Bai Xuan rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "Is it possible to conquer the Seventh Realm?"
Chen Pingan frowned slightly, as if he was a little disgusted, "You can ask yourself, I don't care."
Bai Xuan stood up unsteadily, staggered to the side of the path, and reached a deserted place. , immediately ran away to find Pei Qian, and said that your master Chen Pingan said that he wanted you to conquer the Seventh Realm, haha, I will never have an overnight feud in my life.
After about a moment of burning the incense, Bai Xuan staggered back to the stone table. Both sides of his cheeks were so red and swollen that he looked unrecognizable. This time, his ambiguity was not false at all, and he was weak. : "Young master, I won't practice boxing anymore. Master Cao, I'm going back to the sword worship platform. Can you let Mr. Wei Shan give me a lift? Young master, I watch the sky at night. It's not suitable to fly with a sword today."
Chen Ping An smiled and said: "It's not good to practice boxing half way. Let's change to someone else to teach boxing in the future."
Bai Xuan sat on the position vacated by the millet grains, put his face on the stone table, and ate it It hurt, and she immediately shivered and was silent for a moment, "Practice boxing, practice boxing, and Pei Qian, Pei Qian. One day, I will let her know what a true martial arts wizard is."
Bai Xuan remembered something and asked sickly: "Master Yin Guan, what is Pei Qian's level? She said that hundreds or even thousands of Pei Qian can't beat her master."
Chen Pingan He said helplessly: "You really believe it."
Bai Xuan stood up and said, "Ask for the boxing!"
Chen Lingjun's eyes widened and he looked at him with admiration. There was someone on Luoluo Mountain who was not inferior to him. A hero? !
Bai Xuan limped away.
On the trail, I met Pei Qian.
"Sister Pei, sister Pei."
Bai Xuan swayed his shoulders, walked forward quickly, then turned sideways, walked on the edge of the path, and began to move little by little: " It's getting late. Your master asked me to go and have a good rest. See you later."
When he passed by Pei Qian, Bai Xuan sprinted away with all his strength. When he came to his senses, Already reaching the steps, Bai Xuan didn't dare to turn around and go back to his residence, so he walked up the steps and finally sat on the top of the mountain and rubbed his face.
After Cen Yuanji climbed to the top of the mountain, Bai Xuan had already turned around, and his whole life's reputation was ruined. The young master had not yet imitated the hidden official and went down the mountain to kill everyone.
Cen Yuanji sat down to rest, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Bai Xuan, what's going on?"
Logically speaking, no one would bully Bai Xuancai on Luolu Mountain. right.
Bai Xuan said sadly: "I fell down while sleepwalking in the middle of the night."
Cen Yuanji stood up sadly and continued walking down the mountain.
Zhu Lian and Wei Bo took advantage of the moonlight and returned to the courtyard to talk about a game. They both missed Brother Dafeng.
On the cliffside outside the bamboo building, Nuan Shu walked to the Lotus Root Blessed Land and returned.
So the last row of people sat on the edge of the cliff, Chen Ping'an, the little lotus figure above his head, Pei Qian, Nuan Shu, millet grains, Jing Qing.

At the Niujiao Mountain Ferry, Chen Ping’an took Pei Qian and Xiao Mili and took the Skeleton Beach ferry to Beiju Luzhou, leaving quickly and returning quickly.
BigThe route leads to Pima Zong, Ghost Valley, Chunlu Garden, and Paidi Peak. Taihui Sword Sect, Duckweed Sword Lake, Dragon Palace Cave Sky, and finally returned to the Skeleton Beach, returning home across continents.
On the sea, the Pima Zong ferry going north suddenly received a message for help sent by a flying sword. A Beiju Luzhou ferry going south encountered the legendary night cruise ship. The ferry boat cannot be avoided and is about to crash into the secret realm.
Chen Pingan originally planned for Pei Qian to continue escorting Xiaomili and go to Pima Sect to wait for him, but Chen Pingan changed his mind and just went with him.
They quietly left the ferry, letting Pei Qian take the millet grains to ride the wind slowly on the sea, while Chen Pingan went to high places with his sword alone, with a wider view, overlooking the world, and at the same time keeping an eye on Pei. Qian and Xiaomi Li then traveled south, looking for traces of the strange ferry.
One night, Chen Pingan fell on the sea with his sword, sheathed the sword, and brought Pei Qian and Xiaomi Li to a place. After a while, Chen Pingan frowned slightly, and Pei Qian narrowed his eyes. frown.
A ferry as big as a mountain passed them on the sea.
Pei Qian asked in confusion: "Master, is it so weird? It's not like a trick or a mirage. There's no ripples of spiritual energy at all."
Zhou Mili crossed his arms and wrinkled his chest. With sparse and slightly yellow eyebrows, he nodded vigorously: "It's just a little weird."
Chen Pingan thought for a moment and took out a talisman boat. As expected, the elusive boat was extremely difficult to intercept. The night ferry boat suddenly jumped out of the water from the sea. The boat seemed to be stranded and appeared at the gate of a huge city. Pei Qian concentrated his energy and looked up. Above the city, The golden light flashed away, like a hanging plaque, blurry. Pei Qian said softly: "Master, it seems to be a place called 'Itu City'."
"Itu City? Unheard of."
p>Chen Ping'an smiled and said to Pei Qian and Xiao Mili from his heart: "Remember one thing, after entering the city, don't speak, especially don't answer anyone's questions."
< p>There is no city ban, but when Chen Ping'an and the others entered the city, it suddenly became clear that as far as the field of vision could be seen, there were crowds of people, traffic, and bustling, and it was as lively as a prosperous capital city.Chen Pingan turned around and saw Pei Qian holding a hiking pole and carrying a basket. Inside the basket stood a millet grain, carrying a golden pole. He reached out and patted Pei Qian on the head, and then He patted Xiao Mili's head and said with a smile: "I don't care about that anymore. Just ask and answer whatever you want. The world is big and we can do whatever we want."
