(20,000-word chapter, updated a little late.)
Such an unexpected heavy snowfall is like an immortal crushing a white jade plate, scattering countless snow coins.
A thick layer of snow quickly accumulated on top of the city. The squatting Chen Pingan deliberately gathered his fist and sword energy, letting the snowflakes fall on his head, shoulders and green shirt. .
Those who practice Taoism are immune to cold and heat. The so-called cold and heat actually refer not only to the changes in the four seasons, but also to the joys and sorrows of human beings in this world.
The ruins of the Jianqi Great Wall today are like a deserted city outside the Great Wall with no one to guard the border. Suddenly, the snow falls densely, and there are dots of flowers. The pieces are as big as copper coins. Thousands of mountains are cold and steep, and birds are hard to find. , the four wild people disappeared, there was a vague sound of broken jade, and the snow in the sky sang in harmony.
Lu Chen had already stood up and put away the set of drinking utensils that he didn’t know where he came from in the autumn wind. Originally, Lu Chen planned to leave and return to the Qingming world. There were many friends there and a lot of fun. Moreover, The master visited Bai Yujing earlier and gave his proud disciple a kind and considerate decree. He no longer needed to go to the outer world to do useless work. He returned to the Qingming world and had nothing to do. Even the most disciplined senior brother Can't even talk about him. But it was really rare to visit the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Lu Chen couldn't bear to leave so soon. He worked hard to use the magical power of a saint to have Tianxian in his mouth to attract such a heavy snowfall. He shamelessly didn't move and started to reach out to pick up the snow. Snow soon kneaded him into a snowball, which kept beating, becoming denser and heavier.
Lu Chen gently threw the snowball and rubbed his chin with one hand, "The moon in the sky seems to be gathering snow, and the snow in the world is like breaking into pieces. The lonely light shines in the eyes, the moon and snow are both clear, only human beings "It's superfluous."
Chen Ping'an chuckled, the kind of person who only smiles but doesn't smile at all. In fact, it's better not to smile at all.
Lu Chen chuckled and threw the snowball out of the city, making an arc and falling.
As expected, we scholars are the most elegant. Pure sword cultivators like Miss Ning and Xingguan Haosu are a little less interesting.
Chen Pingan asked: "Master Lu is still not leaving?"
Lu Chen said sadly: "The mountains can drive the mountains away, but don't drive others away."
< p>In the early years when Chen Qingdu was still here, Lu Chen actually wanted to come here as a guest, but because of a face-hungry senior brother, Lu Chen had to give up this plan, otherwise because of Alian's temper, he would have gone to Tianwai. Tian, and if it falls near Bai Yujing, it will definitely have to go to the fire. Even if you, Yu Dou, are truly invincible, you don't dare to go to the Great Sword Qi Wall to fight the boss Sword Immortal, leaving it to Lu Chen.As a junior fellow student, wouldn’t it be outrageous if he and the boss Sword Immortal fell in love at first sight and became brothers. This is just like the family at the foot of the mountain. The brothers and sisters in the family have never married, so it is naturally difficult for the younger brother and younger sister to get married early.
In fact, Yu Dou even walked to the gate of the Great Wall of Sword Qi back then, but in the end he still did not have a sword fight with Chen Qingdu, leaving only a catch-and-release pavilion that would be visited by future generations of tourists. As for the upside-down mountain, as the largest mountain seal in the world built by Yu Dou himself, it actually has no far-reaching meaning. It is thisHeadmaster Bai Yujing Er, whose Taoist name is really invincible, thought that one day in the future when he would ask Chen Qingdu for a sword fight, there would be a ferry there, so he would not have to look at the face of the sage at the Confucian Temple. If he defeated Chen Qingdu, he would go directly from the wilderness. The swords of the world soared back to Bai Yujing.
Of course, until Chen Qingdu opened the way for Feisheng City with his sword, Dao Lao Er Yu Dou did not take action.
As long as he had the opportunity to praise Yu Dou and Lu Chen, the senior Taoist priest, he would naturally not be stingy with his kind words, and soon spread some words that were fair and comfortable, saying On the top of the sword mountain, each one is invincible. The two peaks stand side by side. Everyone has their own business. How can they not be truly invincible? Who dares to say otherwise? Come to Xuandu Temple and have a drink with Pindao. There is a distinction between superior and inferior at the wine table. How dare you talk nonsense? Bad Tao is the one who points the finger at all the fights in our Qing Ming world. Poor Tao is the first to be angry and cannot kill you.
Chen Ping'an suddenly turned to Ning Yao and said: "Master Lu usually won't lie to others when he talks to others, but he can't be completely believed."
Follow It is the same reason that believing in books is worse than having no books. Some people like to deliberately tell only part of the truth, which is not the truth, and may even make people stay away from the truth. .
Chen Pingan's words were not expressed in his heart.
Ning Yao nodded and said: "In the small town, I have learned this a long time ago."
Lu Chen patted the snow on his shoulder and said with a shy face: "Speak to someone in person. It's just like punching someone in the face, which is against the rules of the world. It is said that noble people are slow to speak and speak little, so they should not give up everything. They should speak less and nod more. "
Chen Ping'an just looked at the heavy snow. Thoughts are flowing one after another, and the mind is wandering thousands of miles away. No longer deliberately restraining one's complicated thoughts, the horse is free to rein, just like a white horse passing through the gap, running around the small world.
The poet Haoran once said that snow is something with roots and shoots, not a flower of wealth in the world.
Many local customs and old sayings passed down from generation to generation in small towns often have great origins and are indeed very different from ordinary towns and villages. The rain, snow and dew that have not yet fallen between heaven and earth are commonly called rootless water by the old people in my hometown.
Nowadays, the world's water transportation is divided into two. Mrs. Dandan of Lushui Keng is in charge of land water transportation, and the new four-sea water kings, including Zhigui, are in charge of all other water transportation.
Aunt Feng is not the only wind god in ancient times, so she does not rank among the twelve gods. Even in the Chinese Confucian Temple, which has the richest collection of the old lunar calendar, and the summer palace, which is least concerned about taboos, it seems that there is still no complete catalog of the twelve high-ranking gods. It seems that both parties are complying with an agreement and deliberately concealed it to prevent future generations. People read.
If Jiashen Zhangjian Xiu Yusi is the reincarnation of the Rain Master, as the assistant officer of the water god, one of the five supreme gods, but like Aunt Feng, he has never been among the twelve gods, which means that Yusi This reincarnation of a god who was born in a barbaric land, had been assigned part of the divine responsibilities in ancient times, and Yusi, the former rain master, was the assistant this time, and the water god was the main one. To respect.
Earlier, Lu Chen mentioned the sissy from Longyao in his hometown, and Chen Ping’an immediately began to feel uneasy.At the same time, he sacrificed a caged sparrow to protect his Taoist heart, so that Lu Chen, who was standing next to him, could not explore it casually. Then he went to the inspection entry built by the heart lake to search for any clues.
Seeing that Chen Pingan continued to be a dull gourd, Lu Chen smiled to himself and said: "Besides, I said this half-heartedly, but you, Chen Pingan, did the same. You deliberately refused to talk to me and chose to continue to act stupid. . But it doesn’t matter. Comparing one’s feelings with one’s own is a Buddhist thing. I am a Taoist, but you are just a Buddhist, and you are not really a monk. Neither of us has this kind of respect.”
Lu Chen then raised his hands and laughed. After taking a breath of mist, he kept rubbing his hands and said with a playful smile: "I can't control my heart, and I can't walk around the world. How can I not wear out one pair of straw sandals one after another."
Chen Pingan just pretended not to hear Lu Chen's words and turned a deaf ear. .
In fact, this hidden line that seems to be far away, but is actually close to you, once picked up, can help you see the complete ins and outs of a clue. For Chen Ping'an and Chui Ran's divinity, In that xinxing tug-of-war, there might be a certain winner, which is too crucial.
Back then, Chen Pingan carried the ancient sword "Chang Qi" lent to him by the boss Sword Immortal on his back, left the Great Wall of Sword Qi, traveled to the lotus flower blessed land of the old temple master, and returned to the treasure land from Tongye Island. Behind Pingzhou, above the sea of clouds in Old Dragon City, under the protection of Fan Junmao, Chen Ping'an once set out to refine the natal substance of the Five Elements Water.
Fan Junmao, who later became the female tiger of Yizhou Nanyue, was also Fan Er's sister. Because she was the reincarnation of a god, she practiced a path and broke through realms so quickly that she never had any obstacles to speak of. The first time the two parties met, they happened to go in opposite directions. They were on two ferries on the Long Road. Fan Junmao later directly pointed out that her trip to the north was to find Old Man Yang, which was equivalent to openly acknowledging her god. Reincarnation status.
When Chen Ping'an completed the refining of the water-character seal, I remember that when Fan Junmao saw the atmosphere of his water house, he was willing to let the little man in green clothes who was purely from the water law lineage Following Chen Pingan's order, she was quite surprised. She stood up immediately, spoke hurriedly, and said something strange that Chen Pingan didn't think much about back then. Fan Junmao actually asked Chen Pingan directly if he was the reincarnation of the Rain Master.
Chen Ping'an was confused when he heard this, and even joked that Fan Junmao had made a fresh and refined flattery. In the end, Fan Junmao seemed to have denied the speculation, and said something more eloquent, in which he mentioned "sissy" and said that Chen Ping'an was far behind.
What's more, even though Chen Ping'an was worried at that time, all his thoughts were placed on Lu Tai, who he had traveled with all the way, and he really didn't think much about the man from Longyao in his hometown.
Even Chen Ping'an even speculated whether Lu Tai was the Rain Master. After all, the two parties first took the Osmanthus Island ferry together and passed by the Yulong Sect with the statue of the Rain Master, and Lu Tai's body The cassocks and ribbons are indeed somewhat similar. Looking back now, is it all Zou Zi's deception? Deliberately let yourself be in the dark, not to think too much about your hometownthing?
In Jia Shen Zhang, Tan’s natal flying sword is "Jia Qi", and Jian Xiu Yusi, who has the natal flying sword "Waterfall", in the secret file of the summer palace, is actually more beautiful than the bamboo basket , Liubai and Huitan, all have more. These two sword cultivators followed Zhou Mi to heaven and occupied a divine position in the old heaven. Yu Si, in particular, seemed to have inherited the divinity that was stripped away from Li Liu, making the original divine position in ancient times no longer in the twelve. Among them, Yusi suddenly occupied a high position, which was equivalent to jumping several levels in a row, and directly served as one of the five highest water gods.
It’s just that Chen Pingan still doesn’t know anything. Assuming that the man who worked at the Long Kiln in his hometown was indeed a high-ranking rain god, then he was really dead. Old Man Yang used the magic weapon to block out the sky and the sun. The magical power, therefore, its divinity dissipated, returned to heaven and earth, and was collected by Old Man Yang. Who was it finally given to? Or is he the man who spent his whole life complaining about himself and being born in the wrong child, but he has taken advantage of the situation and "entered" the ancestral family of the military family such as Fengxue Temple and Zhenwu Mountain, and has the same stable situation as Aunt Feng?
In fact, before meeting Lu Tai, Chen Pingan's memory of that effeminate man had long been blurred. Apart from the guilt buried deep in his heart, Chen Pingan didn't think much about it. If he hadn't met Lu Tai, Chen Ping'an might not have said a word, or even said anything to Ning Yao who had nothing to say in his entire life.
A grown man with a soft voice, rough fingers, and calluses on his palms, but he likes to raise his orchid fingers when speaking.
However, this man is very good at needlework. The rough house over there at Long Kiln and the festive paper-cuts posted on the windows every year were all made by this man who stayed up late at night and carefully cut out with scissors. The hometown woman None of his craftsmanship can match him.
The biggest impression of Chen Pingan is that he was a kiln worker who was used to being bullied. He often helped people clean and mend clothes. He wore a brass thimble on his finger and bit it off under the lamp. Threads, shaking out the mended clothes, squinting and smiling.
It is not unfair to say that he looks like a pussy.
Chen Ping'an can only say that he doesn't like or dislike him. The annoyance will definitely annoy him, but Chen Pingan can bear it. After all, the only person this man could bully back then was the boy from Mud Bottle Alley who was even more pitiful than him. Once, a man took the lead in making noise and said something too much. Liu Xianyang happened to be passing by and slapped the man until he was spinning in circles. His face was as swollen as a steamed bun. Then he kicked him to the ground. If it hadn't been for Chen When Ping An stopped him, Liu Xianyang picked up a discarded sagger on the side of the road and was about to smash it on the man's head. After being stopped by Chen Pingan, Liu Xianyang threw the sagger and smashed it on the ground. He threatened the man who was still sitting on the ground after being beaten, covering his stomach and rubbing his cheeks with a smile on his face. You are a bad person and you only dare to bully good people. I'll catch you, use a knife to cut your face, and kill your desire to be a bitch.
Later on, men really didn’t dare to cause trouble for Chen Pingan. At most, they would say some innocuous flirtations behind his back. Because everyone knows that Liu Xianyang is Old Man Yao’s favoriteAs an apprentice, all the kiln workers at that time knew very well that Liu Xianyang would most likely be the next kiln master of Long kiln. The key is that this guy is young, tall, and has a bad temper. It doesn't matter, he just gets along with people on weekdays, laughs and laughs, and is easy to deal with. Liu Xianyang is also generous on weekdays, and he never keeps money. He pays money at the beginning of the month and spends it all in the middle of the month, so most people don't want to mess with him. Liu Xianyang was popular and had better porcelain making qualifications.
In fact, Chen Ping'an is not the only person who comes from a small town and lives a miserable life. Who has the right to say that he is impatient? Besides, how can a person worry about trivial things more than having no money in his pocket and no hope for the future?
Anyway, on the first day of every month, all kiln workers and apprentices can receive more or less wages from Old Man Yao. At that time, no one will be bothered.
When you think of Yusi and others, you will inevitably feel worried. I feel a little sad when I think of that sissy who was in a miserable situation. Just thinking of Liu Xianyang made Chen Pingan smile again.
Probably as Lu Chen said, Chen Pingan is really good at tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, moving things, and changing places. Maybe he is afraid of being poor, not the kind of poor who cannot live a good life, but almost. He was so poor that he couldn't survive, so since he was a child, Chen Pingan liked to carefully classify all the things he had on hand and tidy them up properly. What you gain and what you lose are all clear. Probably because of this, in the Huanghua Temple of the Daquan Dynasty, I felt sorry for the obsessive-compulsive disorder of His Highness the Prince who had to arrange every book neatly. Chen Ping'an had almost never lost anything in his life, so he took the little treasure bottle with him on his first trip. After he lost the hairpin, he didn't even look for it. He just continued to build a small green bamboo bookcase with Lin. Shouichi said he couldn't find it.
Chen Pingan put away his thoughts, closed his hands, and breathed gently.
When things happen in Dali Capital, I really need to go to the Yang Family Pharmacy immediately.
Lu Chen stretched out and yawned, "Let's go, Hao Su, we made an appointment. Don't die in the wild world. Take your time with your sword and accumulate enough battle achievements. We're here." Qing Ming Tianxia, remember to have a drink with Pindao. With your swordsmanship and your official position in the Sword Qi Great Wall, you can become a city lord in Bai Yujing... It’s really hard to operate that fat spot in the city, but if you wait for a hundred years and become one of the owners of the twelfth floor, I will really be able to work hard.”
Chen Pinganhuang. Shaking his head, he shook off the snow all over his body, stood up slowly, patted his green shirt, and asked with a smile: "Lu Chen, how about we make a deal?"
Lu Chen immediately stopped and said nothing. Agreeing, "Okay."
Chen Pingan turned to look at Ning Yao.
She nodded, raised her eyes to look into the distance, and raised her eyebrows, which was exactly what she meant.
Chen Pingan looked at the other side of the city and asked with a smile in his heart: "Sect Master Qi?"
Qi Tingji nodded and said: "ThenTry to engrave one more word. What Senior Zongyuan missed, I will do it. "
Chen Pingan asked again, "Mr. Lu? "
Lu Zhi had a rare smile and said, "I've been waiting for your words. "
The Sword Fairy, a slender, slightly tall and thin woman, had a bigger smile on her face, "If we are lucky, we can both return alive, and there is no need to say anything more. If only one of us can come back alive, we will pour a pot of wine for each other on top of this city. ”
Chen Pingan agreed to this with a smile.
Lu Chen looked leisurely.
Whether Chen Pingan asked Qi Tingji first or Lu Zhi first, this There is a knowledge of human nature hidden in it.
Lu Zhi would definitely agree, but Qi Tingji would not be the same. .
It's just that Lu Chen had a minor accident. Not only did Qi Tingji agree to use the sword, but he also seemed to have had such intention? After giving up the plan of being the number one in the colorful world and establishing a foothold in the vast world, if he chooses to follow everyone out of the city to hand over the sword, life or death is uncertain, and no one dares to say that he will be able to leave the wild world alive. As for the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect, Once the sect leader and chief minister are lost, why should Qi Juechen be in the Haoran world? Maybe it is a swordsmanship sect that does not live up to its name in Nan Po Suo Continent.
Lu Chen asked curiously: "Old Qi. Sword Immortal, why are you willing to do this? It doesn't seem to be in line with your usual style of planning and then acting. "
Qi Tingji smiled and did not give an answer.
In Lu Chen's eyes, he saw the young-looking old swordsman standing on the top of the city, with a slender figure and handsome appearance. , the color of the clothes is the same as the snow, and he wears a black sheath sword on his waist. The Jianqi Great Wall is indeed a handsome man.
Maybe this is the sword cultivator of the Jianqi Great Wall.
If you do things. You need to reason, why do you work hard to practice swords?
The two swordsmen on the battlefield, A Liang, are still foreigners.
Yin Guan is about to rush to the battlefield. Chen Ping'an is also a foreigner.
I, Qi Tingji, as the oldest local sword cultivator in the Great Sword Qi Wall, would like to toast all the foreign sword cultivators who died here.
Chen Pingan finally asked: "What did the criminal officer say?
Haosu crossed his arms across his chest and said, "We agreed in advance that if he has any military exploits, his head can be picked up and given to me so that I can do business with the Confucian Temple." This favor I owe you will be repaid in the future when I get to Qingming World. If you are willing to agree, I will follow you for this life. No matter how incompetent I am as a prison officer, I will still be a swordsman after all. So don't worry, as long as you draw your sword, you don't care about life or death. "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "No problem. ”
Because Lu Zhi had no words, the Great Sword Immortal of Fengxue Temple, who roughly guessed the truth, raised his head and looked at the flying snow in the sky. Wei Jin seemed to think of the winter in his hometown sect when he was young. Young Sword Master Immortal Terrace, walking together in the wind and snow.
Wei Jin stretched out his hand to hold the long sword across his knees and said, "Add me, and I promise not to hold you back."
Chen Ping'an shook his head, "You are not yet at a high level."
p>
Although Wei Jin was a swordsman in the Immortal Realm, it was inappropriate and unsuitable for him to travel to the wild hinterland this time.
Chen Ping'an's current words seemed to tell Wei and Jin that Cao Jun could not enter the summer palace, which was correct.
Cao Jun couldn't help but feel sorry for the great swordsman of Fengxue Temple, and said in his heart: "Chen Ping'an is at a lower level than you, how dare you say such a thing?"
Wei Jin As if he didn't care at all, he changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding the sword with both hands, which was equivalent to giving up the plan.
Cao Jun said anxiously: "Wei Jin, what's the matter with you? When you get to Chen Ping'an, you are not tough at all in what you say and do."
Wei Jin answered the question and said: "Previously I was wrong. In fact, you can go to the Summer Palace."
Cao Jun's eyes lit up.
Wei Jin added: "Anyway, there is already Mi Yu who is at the bottom. If you go to the summer palace, he will definitely follow you."
Cao Jun said doubtfully: "That Mi Yu is the one who is standing at the bottom." , He was extremely powerful with his sword in Old Dragon City, and his deeds were legendary. In his early years at the Summer Palace, he had such a miserable life?"
Wei Jin nodded and said: "It was worse than you imagined, and in the end you could only do so. He hid in Chunfanzhai, with the table by the door, and worked as a doorkeeper every day."
Cao Jun looked at the smiling Wei Jin and sighed, a little envious of fellow countrymen like Wei Jin and Chen Ping'an. He is a native swordsman from the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
Wei Jin smiled and said: "This Great Wall of Sword Qi is the best river and lake I have ever walked in."
Wei Jin paused for a moment and then said: "The only flaw is that The drinks here are quite deceptive."
Lu Chen held up the lotus crown on his head, suppressed his smile, and said softly: "Don't think twice before good things happen. Are you being impulsive in taking risks like this? Is that enough?"
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Young man, don't be sullen."
Lu Zhong patted the Daoguan, and then said: "That's right. I forgot to ask how to do this deal. "
"I suffered a little loss, so I lent Lu Chen his boxing skills and swordsmanship temporarily. Lu Chen only lent me his Tao skills temporarily."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Master Lu, this little thing can't trouble you, right?"
Lu Chen looked shocked and said: "Exchange boxing and swordsmanship for Dao, two for one. Are you suffering too much?"
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Patience shows skill, suffering brings blessings."
Lu Chen nodded, convinced.
Chen Pingan turned to look at Lu Chen, with a serious look on his face, and said: "One code, one code, Mr. Lu, I have something to do, thank you."
After learning boxing and sword practice, he often Whenever Lu Chen is mentioned, he is called by his first name.
When he serves as a hermit official and returns to his hometown, he is usually called Master Lu.
In fact, when he was a boy, Chen Ping'an always called Lu Chen "Daozhang Lu".
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing, he just raised the sleeves of his Taoist robe, and the breeze blew, picking up snowflakes.
It seems that Cui Dongshan, a student of Chen Ping'an, likes to name one of his sleeves "the place where you beat up stupid people".
On the other hand, the poor man is willing to name one of his sleeves "beating up all the smart places in the world".
Lu Chen raised his head to look at the sky and murmured: "Chen Ping'an, don't forget, the moon is like day in Nanhua City, and the Twelve Jade Towers are not my hometown. My hometown is this vast world. ”
Ning Yao squinted and looked into the distance.
How I draw my sword in the wild world is beyond your control.
Lu Chen reminded: "Everyone, before I leave, Rong Pindao has to say something too much and pour cold water on me at an inappropriate time. The family in the wild world is not thin, and maybe you will meet some very capable people." The five swordsmen, Chen Ping'an, Ning Yao, Qi Tingji, Lu Zhi, and Hao Su, had a tacit understanding, and they all smiled knowingly without saying a word.
To look down on the wild world is to look down on the Great Wall of Sword Qi that has stood here for thousands of years.
How could it be so, how could it be so.
Lu Chen stretched out his hand to support Dao Guan. OK, let’s work together to bully the outsiders.
Old Master He Shou, who was sitting in the Confucian Temple here to worship the sages, saw the scene at the top of the city below and was filled with emotion.
Until this moment, the old master truly understood what a "hidden official" was.
Even in the Confucian Temple, almost every person accompanying the saint, offering wine in the academy, and the academy director would check the secret files and review their experiences. He Shou felt that he knew this young man well enough. It turns out that’s not the case, and it’s still far from the truth.
Let’s not talk about Chen Pingan’s Taoist companion Ning Yao.
I only mentioned Qi Tingji, the old swordsman who carved the inscription on the city wall, Lu Zhi, who came from a noble family but always regarded the Sword Qi Great Wall as his hometown, and there were also very few people who showed up in public and slaughtered Ascension Realm monks whenever they made a move. The criminal officer Hao Su.
These few people seem to pay more attention to Chen Pingan's identity as a hidden official than the monks in the world.
Lu Chen suddenly said: "By the way, I'm just rushing to talk. I just remembered something. Chen Ping'an, Miss Ning, and of course Mr. Xing Guan. Do you three know that Great Sword Immortal Zhang Lu’s true identity, Daodaoji?”
Hao Su shook his head. He knew very well how he became a criminal officer. He probably would have been scolded badly if he signed up for himself in Feisheng City.
Chen Pingan and Ning Yao looked at each other and shook their heads. It was obvious that Ning Yao had not heard anything extra about Zhang Lu from any of his elders, and Chen Ping'an had not found any secret files about Zhang Lu at the summer palace.
Ning Yao only knows that Zhang Lu is over 500 years old, has excellent sword training qualifications, and is very close friends with his parents. Zhang Lu and A Liang are also very close, even after what they have experienced. After losing the Thirteen Battle, Zhang Lu’s reputation in the Great Wall of Sword Qi is still not bad. He can have a drink and chat with anyone, but Zhang Lu doesn’t seem to be special with anyone.Don't give in.
Lu Chen rubbed his eyebrows,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He had a headache and said: "Chen Ping'an, you haven't thought about it, Boss Jian Why did Xian let Zhang Lu guard the gate at Daoxuan Mountain? Zhang Lu had a close relationship with Xiao Xin, the former hermit official. Could it be that the boss Jianxian couldn't see Zhang Lu's hatred for Haoran Tianxia? He had such a temper and never hid it. Even if Zhang Lu betrayed the Sword Qi Great Wall in the end, why did Zhang Lu stay at the site of Daoxuan Mountain without moving even a step, guarding the gate from beginning to end? Zhang Lu didn't leave until the wild demon clan retreated from Haoran like a tide?"
Chen Pingan asked in confusion: "Could it be that Zhang Lu was not just using his body to make amends?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen shook his head and said: "Zhang Lu is just a gatekeeper. It is true that he betrayed the Sword Qi Great Wall, and it is true that he does his duty honestly."
Chen Pingan frowned. He only knew Zhang Lu before. He was a native sword cultivator who was a homeless prisoner. When he was in the middle five realms, he had a Taoist companion. After she died in the battle, Zhang Lu never married again, and he never even started to recruit disciples. , but Zhang Lu taught swordsmanship to young swordsmen very casually and without any personal secrets, but there was no master-disciple status. Zhang Lu's sword is called Mountain Rhinoceros, and the scabbard is covered with black scales. It is said that in his early years, this great swordsman captured a Jade Pure Realm monster during his hunting trip in the wild world, refined its sinews and bones into a long sword, and refined its skin. For the scabbard. There are only a few words left in the files of the summer palace. It seems that Zhang Lu was close to the sword and clothing workshops in his early years. Because he was proficient in the craft of refining and casting, his status was somewhat similar to that of a supervisor.
Concerning this matter, Chen Pingan was not surprised at all after he entered the summer palace and looked through the files, because before he left Daoxuan Mountain in his early years, Zhang Lu not only helped Ning Yao deliver the dragon-slaying platform, In addition, Zhang Lu helped cast a blind eye on the golden robe. As for the demon-binding rope made from the long whiskers of the old dragon, Zhang Lu said at that time that he had asked an expert from the Xuanshan Talisman Sect to help him. The Taoist intercepted some of the dragon whiskers as a reward. Three cloud patterns peeled off and merged into the demon-binding rope, so it was Chen Ping'an who made the profit. In the end, Zhang Lu even taught Chen Pingan an additional refining formula.
Lu Chen reluctantly reminded: "Food, goods, wine, Zhang Lu admires that Su Zi very much. He is also good at refining things, especially making bows. If I remember correctly, the spring of Feisheng City There are still a few good bows hidden in the house that have been gathering dust for a long time. Even if they are of excellent quality, they will only end up in ashes. There is no other way. They are all pure swordsmen, and no one is willing to use bows."
Chen Pingan thought for a moment, Su Zi is heroic and likes drinking. There was once Yunjiu, Tianlu, I got this, isn't it a blessing from heaven. And the food and goods annals directly say that the drinker is the beauty of heaven.
But these are just "add-ons." Chen Pingan sighed, raised his hands, and rubbed his cheeks vigorously.
It turns out that Zhang Lu, like the old deaf boy guarding the prison, is not a human monk, but a demon clan.
It’s just Zhang Lu’sHis identity is somewhat similar to that of Bai Ze, and he is accepted by the vast world.
Because this "Tianlu" is not only the name of the wine, but also an auspicious beast recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas". Since ancient times, dignitaries in the world like to put the statue of Tianlu Placed in front of the tomb, it has the purpose of protecting the ancestral tomb and making the house peaceful.
If it is Zhang Lu's own choice to betray the Sword Qi Great Wall, and the boss Sword Immortal is willing to respect his choice, then the only thing Zhang Lu has to do is to agree to Chen Qingdu and continue to stay. Next, guard the gate, like guarding a "grave", and finally, take care of the ruins of the Sword Qi Great Wall, which is like a tomb.
Zhang Lu also kept his promise.
Then it is still a pure sword cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
No wonder that during the discussion between the two worlds, they were already in different camps, and A Liang was still willing to smile at Zhang Lu and remain good friends.
Chen Pingan took a deep breath. Regardless of this, the two sides really want to meet again on the battlefield this time, and each uses their swords with all their strength. This is the greatest respect.
Chen Pingan asked: "Master Lu, what kind of temporary Taoist method is this?"
Lu Chen smiled and took off the lotus Taoist crown on his head and threw it to Chen Pingan casually. , the Taoist token of Bai Yu Jingsan’s leader was given away casually.
Chen Pingan took it with one hand, and Ning Yao began to help Chen Pingan untie the bun. Chen Pingan took off the white jade hairpin, put it in his sleeves, and put the lotus crown on it without hesitation. on his own head.
Lu Chen said with a playful smile: "Take it and wear it, and I will stay in it later. What a coincidence, we both happened to be the Yinshen traveling far away from the body. But we had agreed in advance that we would carry the burden of You must bear the consequences of the Fourteenth Realm of Taoism, good or bad. Forget it, you know this better than anyone else."
Chen Pingan said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I asked Jianbei Julu. Before Zhousuo Yunzong, he wore a Taoist crown with a similar style, and had an alias, his Taoist name was Wudi."
Lu Chen looked left and right, he saw a good boy wearing a Taoist crown, with a green shirt and a sword on his back. , the more the jade tree is facing the wind, chanting, "Fate, fate."
Chen Pingan supported the Taoist crown, turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, why don't you borrow some money from Master Lu?" Let's fight side by side with a good sword that we have. No matter how polite we are, it would be pretentious. We borrowed it and it's not that we won't return it. If there is any loss, we can just convert it into fairy money. Even if we don't return it, Master Lu will definitely come to ask for it. ."
Lu Zhi is accustomed to using standard long swords made by sword workshops. But this time, for the sake of caution, it would be safer to borrow some good swords from Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
Pindao considers himself to be a shameless person, Chen Ping'an, you are even more capable.
On the other side of the city next door, Lu Zhi had already extended his hand, "It's easy to say, I welcome Headmaster Lu to come to collect debts in the future. The Dragon Elephant Sword Sect is located on the beach of Nan Posuo Continent. It's easy to find."
p>Lu Chen groaned again.
Although Pindao’s hometown is as grand as it is in the world, it’s not something you can just come to if you want to.The rules of etiquette are left there.
You two are determined to deceive others and renege on their debts, right?
Lu Chen sighed, and had no choice but to lift up one sleeve and groped inside it with one hand, scratching and scratching, as if he was rummaging through a treasure house.
Chen Pingan reminded: "Headmaster Lu, you are going to give it away anyway, so just grit your teeth and be more generous, otherwise you will be looked down upon by Master He."
Lu Chen While looking through the many treasures in Qiankun in his sleeves, he said: "Borrow, not give away!"
Finally, Lu Chen took out a palm-sized sword box, jumped on the spot, jumped high, far away He threw it far away to Lu Zhi and shouted: "Mr. Lu, use it sparingly."
Lu Zhi caught the sword box and said: "It depends on your mood."
Lu Chen finally asked a question, "Chen Pingan, what if during our trip, we accidentally fell into that person's plan?"
Chen Pingan said calmly: "So what? I am still me, We are still us, and we still have to do what we have to do."
Lu Chen nodded, "Then there will be no problem on my side. I will start setting up a big world right away, so next, I will do it. Before we go on our way, you have to adapt for a while and sharpen your sword before chopping wood. Alas, this is another truth you know best."
As he spoke, Lu Chen's figure disappeared and turned into a rainbow. The light swept into the lotus crown, and strange phenomena arose between the sky and the earth, so that the wind and snow covering thousands of miles around suddenly stopped. The next moment, all the snow that had fallen between the sky and the earth disappeared with it, like a The majestic heavy snow has never come to the world.
If Lu Chen merges into the Yin Shen with the Taoist crown, it is a boat of inconsistency.
Then Chen Ping'an at the moment is just like a person supporting mugwort in a boat, which is a mysterious and mysterious "manifestation of the great road".
Ning Yao stood there, not paying attention.
The criminal officer Hao Su on the side tilted his shoulders subconsciously. An extremely lethal Ascension Realm sword cultivator actually felt a little uncomfortable. Hao Su couldn't help but turn his head and glance at this strange "Chen Ping'an" ".
The young man wearing a blue shirt, long coat and cloth shoes has changed into a simple and elegant green gauze robe.
He still carries a Night Sword, but with an extra lotus crown.
Chen Pingan bent his knees slightly, so that half of the Hedao city trembled, but he quickly straightened his back, as if he was carrying a piece of the great road of heaven and earth, but instead Relieved.
Just looking up and looking into the distance, he saw the wild and chaotic battlefield in an instant.
I couldn’t see the real battle situation because it was obscured by the rising sky, but I could already see the outline of the mountains and rivers over there.
He has both A Liang’s sword spirit and the sword spirit of his senior fellow apprentices.
Among them are earth-shattering spells and various colorful magical powers.
Chen Ping'an said in a deep voice: "Everyone, let's go together to the hinterland of the wilderness!"
Wearing green clothes, he took the lead to turn into a rainbow and leave the city.head.
Ning Yao followed closely behind, his sword shining like a rainbow.
Hao Su wields a sword and travels with lightning speed.
On the other side of the city, Qi Tingji, who was dressed in snow-white, was thousands of miles away from the city in an instant with the light of his sword, and Lu Zhi was walking with him.
Two groups passed through the gate of the upside-down mountain ruins. One group was Chen Sanqiu and Diezhang who left the Yulongzong ferry with swordsmen. The other group was also swordsmen who did not take the cross-continent ferry. They rushed to the Great Wall of Jianqi, but Yu Jian left Tongyezhou. It was not that they did not want to take the ferry to travel far, but they made an unpleasant fuss about it. At that time, a ferry docked at Fuyaozhou and heard that they were from Tongyezhou. After the sword repair, he actually drove people away and asked them how they had the nerve to go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
If it hadn’t been for a female swordsman in the team to stop him, someone would probably have died on the spot.
This group of Tongyezhou sword cultivators whose sect was closed but went on a long journey are none other than Yu Xin, Wang Shizi and Li Wanyong. This group of "rebellious swordsmen" from the younger generation of Tongye Sect in the past ".
As the only female sword cultivator, Yu Xin wears a golden shirt and robe, a dragon girl fairy dress and a Xiangshui skirt, and a pair of embroidered shoes from Baihua Blessed Land.
Li Wanyong carried the long sword "Chizhuan" on his back. This trip to the Sword Qi Great Wall was mainly to see the two sides.
In addition, there are Du Yan and Qin Shuihu.
Except for Master Wang, who is a worshipper, the others are all direct swordsmen from the Tongye Sect’s ancestral hall.
They, Chen Sanqiu and Diezhang fell to the top of the city at about the same time.
In the end, I only saw five long lines of sword light drawn between heaven and earth after the five people traveled together.
————
In the back alleys of Dali Capital City, Zhou Haijing used the pure Qi of a martial artist to pull the clothes back into his hands like a fishing rod. .
The eyes of the two young men at the door were shining brightly. This foreign aunt was really a master with special skills. If she really waited for her, she might learn some real skills.
Zhou Haijing looked at the man in green shirt outside the door. She regretted not being at the Taoist temple to ask more about Chen Ping'an.
She never imagined that this guy would follow him all the way here. For no reason, you are a swordsman on the mountain, can you hold on after eating enough?
Zhou Haijing continued to collect the clothes on the clothes drying pole, turned around and said with a smile: "Zongzhu Chen is so leisurely and relaxed, and he is willing to come to a place like this. Chicken and dog excrement doesn't smell good."
p>The two young men at the door immediately turned their heads to look at the man. Haha, can't you tell, he is still a man with status and status in the world?
Sect leader?
Isn’t he similar to the gang leader and helmsman of that sect, but he looks more like a teacher, not like a guy who dances with guns and sticks.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's okay, just get used to it."
Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal who traveled far away, the second class of the Ministry of Punishment enshrined Wushipai, and Da Li followed the army Monk.
Zhou Haijing is a martial artist at the top of the mountain. Of course, according to worldly standards, she is still a good-looking woman.
Everyone's words and deeds are like a ghost traveling far away from the body.
In the eyes of others, everyone is like a Yang Shen.
Chen Pingan knew why she acted so aggressively even though she knew her identity. Zhou Haijing seemed to be saying the same thing. She is a woman. You, a swordsman on the mountain, should not come here to find fun. .
When they met before, Zhou Haijing discovered that Daolu Geling and the young novice monk from the Bible Translation Bureau were in awe of this person. They spoke from the bottom of their hearts and could not fake it. As for Su Lang, he was scared to his core.
Chen Pingan, the master of Luolu Mountain, the master of a sect, and the swordsman.
He is also a martial arts master who is unknown for some reason. The reason is very simple, because he is Pei Qian’s master. However, Zhou Haijing cannot tell the depth of martial arts or the level of martial arts for the time being. He looks like He is a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm, but I don't know if he is hiding his clumsiness.
However, the man in front of me is indeed gentle and polite.
Even Zhou Haijing, who has a picky eye, has to admit that this swordsman is indeed outstanding.
However, people's hearts are separated from each other, and God knows if there is a belly of evil hidden in a good skin and a good spirit.
Zhou Haijing asked: "Is something really wrong?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It is really something."
Zhou Haijing sighed, "Then come in and chat , I am a yellow-flowered girl, and it will be difficult to find a good man to marry after being seen by the neighbors."
Chen Ping'an thanked her and crossed the threshold. The house was just that big, except for that. The courtyard consists of a main hall and two side rooms, one of which is also a kitchen.
There was a white porcelain tea set of poor craftsmanship on the table. Zhou Haijing smiled and said: "I can only treat the guests badly. Not to mention there is no good wine, and there is no tea. Do you want boiled water?" "
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I will just drink a bowl of water."
For this kind of small house, Chen Pingan actually has a natural affinity with his hometown. Very similar.
After Chen Ping'an sat down, he took the bowl of water and asked directly: "Mr. Zhou had a problem with that Yuhong, and the grievances were not small?"
If he just beats around the bush, it will be wrong. Makes people suspicious.
In his early years at Sui Cliff Academy, Cui Dongshan once asked two seemingly similar questions, hoping that this nominal gentleman could help answer his questions.
For so many years, especially on the Sword Qi Great Wall, Chen Pingan has been thinking about this question, but it is difficult to give an answer.
Cui Dongshan’s two problems are how to pursue a correct result in the wrong way. Right or wrong?
So using the wrong method, we achieved an extremely rare correct result. Wrong, is it wrong?
Two questions with the same context, the latter is certainly more difficult to answer than the former.
Chen Pingan hopes that today’s worshipThe interview can give the student Cui Dongshan a belated "half answer".
At most, it’s a half answer.
What can Chen Pingan teach the so-called teacher-student? It seems that there is nothing he can teach Cui Dongshan.
As time went by, Chen Pingan really regarded himself as Cui Dongshan’s husband.
Zhou Haijing laughed dumbly and put down the water bowl, "Zongzhu Chen is joking, I am a fisherman, a country girl, and a great master of martial arts like Senior Yu, even if he burns high incense every day, he will climb It’s not about half a copper coin.”
She continued: “By the way, don’t call me Mr. Zhou. It sounds awkward. Just call him by his first name. You can also call him Miss Zhou. . Anyway, the age difference between us is not too big, let’s just treat it as people of the same generation." Seeing that the young swordsman was silent, Zhou Haijing asked curiously: "Why is Sect Master Chen asking this? Are you friends with Senior Yu? Or a friend of that kind of friend?" Zhou Haijing seemed to suddenly realize, and said with a surprised look on his face: "Is it possible that Master Chen also learned boxing from Yu Hong?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I have never heard of Yuhong before."
Zhou Haijing joked: "Then what are you doing here? It's not just for sex, right? What do I think? Sect Master Chen doesn’t look like this kind of person. I heard that the gods on the mountain view the beauty of women and the beauty of the men below the mountain are completely different.”
Chen Ping’an said: “This is true. I came here uninvited and took the liberty of visiting. It was an unkind invitation. If Miss Zhou didn't want to answer, I wouldn't force her to do anything. But if she was willing to talk about the past, I would owe Miss Zhou a favor if anything happens in the future. If you find it difficult, just send the message to Luolu Mountain with Feijian, and I will be there at your call. Of course, the premise is that what Miss Zhou asks me to do does not go against my heart."
"That sounds good. In fact?"
Zhou Haijing clicked his tongue: "I almost thought that I was not at home at this moment, but still in the small Taoist temple of Ge Daolu."
Chen Ping'an. He smiled and said: "Understood, I will leave after drinking this bowl of water and will not embarrass Miss Zhou."
Looking at the man in green shirt drinking water from the bowl, Zhou Haijing said: "Sect Master Chen What a fastidious person."
Chen Ping'an asked doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"
Zhou Haijing smiled and raised the white bowl, "Nothing, just replace the wine with tea."< /p>
Chen Pingan lifted the bowl and took a sip.
Zhou Haijing saw it, and her face was filled with a smile.
Obviously he comes from a wealthy family, he can make do with things, and he can make things happen naturally, without making others feel awkward. This is probably the so-called attention to detail.
Zhou Haijing, a son of aristocratic and wealthy families in the local area, traveled to various countries after learning boxing. He had seen some of them. There were many embroidered pillows and they were sanctimonious. There are some who are scholarly and elegant, but not many.
It’s just that the person in front of me, wearing a blue shirt and long coat, has a pair ofThe spotless cloth shoes revealed the secret.
In this shabby place full of chicken excrement, dog excrement and pig pens, he is worthy of being a swordsman who comes and goes like the wind and never touches the ground.
These people have some contempt in their hearts, and the contempt in their hearts is actually very difficult to hide. In Zhou Haijing's opinion, it's not as good as those dog eyes that look down on others.
These high-ranking genealogy masters, the place where they practice Taoism in the mountains, the place where they have lived for a long time, is not the place where the white clouds are born, eating the glow and drinking the dew.
Zhou Haijing suddenly asked a question, "If you let Chen Zongzhu choose, would you rather drink plain water than coarse tea."
Chen Pingan said: "To be honest, it doesn't matter. "
Zhou Haijing tapped the white bowl with his fingers and said with a smile: "Seriously?"
He is also a bit picky and is used to living a life of poverty. He simply has nothing and the breeze on his sleeves. , It is said that he is happy in poverty, but he can't stand the dull knife that has to deal with trivial matters every day. He is poor and has a little money, but he can't buy anything good.
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "What's the point of fooling Miss Zhou?"
After drinking a bowl of water, Chen Pingan was about to stand up and leave.
Zhou Haijing sighed, "Sect Leader Chen still seems a little unwilling. Now that you are gone, I will be even more flustered, so I might as well say what I have to say directly, open the skylight and speak clearly, maybe I will change my mind. Okay. But after that, we really want to keep things straight."
Chen Pingan nodded, "Then I'll say something straight and won't talk around in circles with Ms. Zhou." /p>
Zhou Haijing smiled sweetly, "Walking alone in the world, life and death can be taken lightly, and you can't care too much. In fact, Sect Master Chen doesn't have to be like this. The more polite and polite he is, the more he worries that he is a weasel paying New Year's greetings."
< p>Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Although I don't know how Ge Ling and Song Xu talked with Miss Zhou, I can be sure that Miss Zhou will finally agree to join the Dali Dizhi lineage, because they need an amulet and feel that they are killing Killing a fish rainbow is not enough, it is not a big revenge.""In the previous fight at the Fire Temple Arena, Miss Zhou's show of weakness was very measured, and ordinary Nine Realm warriors would not be able to see it. I can see some clues."
"And the only thing Miss Zhou has on her is your own belongings, because if I remember correctly, according to the fishermen in Miss Zhou's hometown. According to custom, when a woman wears a 'Hua Xin Qi' silk sachet embroidered with swallow patterns, she is signaling to outsiders that she is a woman."
"I believe Ms. Zhou can see that, and so can I. As a pure martial artist, he knows very well that if a woman wants to reach the ninth level of martial arts at the age of fifty, no matter how talented she is, she needs at least one or two introductory boxing books when she is young. From then on, she will encounter one or two on the road to martial arts. A person who helps teach and feed boxing, and teaches boxing principles, either from home or from a teacher.
Miss Zhou is not the same as Ye Yunyun from Tongyezhou. You are a fisherman, Miss Zhou You haven't made many detours, you have a solid foundation in the Nine Realms, and you've played very well.Far more promising than Yuhong to reach the end. Naturally, you have to pass a half-way master's biography. "
"With such a good future in martial arts, she did not hesitate to exchange lives with Yu Hong, and even sought more. After arriving in the capital, Miss Zhou acted cautiously. She had met Ge Daolu and the others in the alley earlier. Previously, Miss Zhou in the carriage did not hesitate to use a burst of Wufu's pure Qi to injure her internal organs in order to pretend to vomit blood. "
Zhou Haijing just had an expression on his face that said I can't understand no matter what you say, as if he was listening to a storyteller talking nonsense.
Chen Pingan said: "I won't do it. I just want to know what happened in the early years when I have a dispute with Miss Zhou and Yu Hong. "
Zhou Haijing gently rotated the white bowl, "It's a small thing. There is no need to talk too much about a little bitterness to an outsider. ”
Chen Ping’an thought for a while, “Since Miss Zhou likes to do business and is good at it, and her management skills amaze me, let’s put it another way. "
"The Great Li Earthly Branches are temporarily under my control. "
"As long as Miss Zhou is reasonable, you will still be responsible for your grievances with Yu Hong, but I can guarantee that in addition to the Earthly Branches and the Rites and Punishments, no one will meddle in others' affairs. ”
If before, Zhou Haijing was like listening to Mr. Shu telling stories, now listening to Chen Jianxian’s bold talk is more like listening to the Book of Heaven.
You Does this guy really think that his surname is Song?
Or does he think that he is the national master Cui Chan?
The Dali Dizhi lineage is temporarily under your control, and now the whole Haoran world is under your control. I know one thing, the monks on the mountain in Aquarius Continent are the least able to hold their heads high in the dynasty at the foot of the mountain.
Zhou Haijing suppressed a smile, waved his hand, and changed his title, "Mr. Chen, we." We really can't talk together. Can I ask a final question, what level of martial arts are you at? ”
Although Zhou Haijing knew that the green-shirted swordsman in front of him was Pei Qian’s master, he was just a martial artist. The disciple was better than the master, and there were many cases where the disciple was more promising than the master. Master Leading people to practice cultivation is a personal matter, just like Yu Hong's master, who is just a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm, and is very inconspicuous in the Zhu Ying Dynasty where swordsmanship is as high as the clouds.
As for herself, it is even more so. The person who taught boxing was a six-level martial artist. Of course, she was still young at that time, and she regarded him as a god.
He was the one who drank water. You will think about it when you drink, eat, or walk.
Only by practicing hard can you forget for a moment.
Chen Pingan said: "It's not much different from Miss Zhou. "
Before Zhou Haijing could say anything to chase people away, Chen Ping'an had already stood up, cupped his fists and said, "I promise not to bother Miss Zhou again in the future.
Zhou Haijing stood up and smiled: "That's good, but having said that, I really don't believe that the master nicknamed 'Zheng Qingming' can be a very evil person." So in today’s chat, if I have offended anything, Mr. Chen will be more generous and forgive me. Anyway, I willWe will never see each other again, and there is no problem in mentally or verbally cursing Zhou Haijing for being disrespectful. ”
She found the man and seemed quite happy after hearing these words.
It seems that Chen Ping’an is right
(This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page Page)
That disciple Pei Qian is really proud of him.
The two young men at the door never left.
He shouted: "Aunt Zhou, if that person dares to be rude, just shout, and Wan Yan and I will kill him immediately. ”
Zhou Haijing turned around and said angrily: “Auntie, what auntie, call me sister!”
The tall young man chuckled and said: "As long as Aunt Zhou is not angry, let alone calling me sister, I can call her aunt or sister!" "
The handsome young man named Wan Yan grinned.
Chen Pingan turned his head and looked at the alley at the door. He didn't know that the lotus root blessed land in his early years was in the small county town. , the future Nanyuan National Master Zhong Fuzi and the first mountain climber Yu Zhenyi, when they were young, did they look a little generous?
Zhou Haijing glanced at the man. She was a little surprised by her facial features and expression.
My dear, you have a good reputation. If I look at him a few more times, I might fall for him.
Now she feels a little regretful. The mountain scenery of Pingzhou is too uninformed. If it weren't for Su Lang's reminder, I wouldn't have believed that the guy making way in the alley was the most popular young swordsman in Aquarius
In fact, Zhou Haijing's heart trembles every time she thinks about the expenses of those mirror flowers and moonlight.
It is said that there are only a few or a dozen snow coins, but as long as they are converted into real gold and silver, especially when converted into one Not to mention strings of copper coins, Zhou Haijing put on his night clothes, randomly found a piece of cloth to cover his face, and thought of going to the mountains to rob houses.
Chen Pingan said goodbye and left, and Zhou Haijing was sent to the hospital. Over there at the door.
The tall young man laughed in a low voice: "Sister Zhou, this guy looks very nice. He looks like a gentleman at first glance. Why, I thought he didn't have money in his pocket, so I didn't take a fancy to him. ? "
Zhou Haijing smiled and said: "He has no money? Gaoyou, Gaoyou, you have such good eyesight. No wonder you stole money from me and missed such a real rich man. ”
Gaoyou turned around and looked at the man’s back. Are you rich? You can’t?
The handsome young man suddenly ran all the way, caught up with Chen Pingan, and turned sideways Walking almost close to the wall, he said softly: "Sect Master Chen, my name is Wan Yan. "
Chen Ping'an turned around and said with a smile: "The Wanyan who relies on horses and Wanyan? "
The young man nodded vigorously, hesitated for a moment, then asked with a red face: "Can you box and kick? ”
“A little bit. ”
“Can you teach it to outsiders? "
"Can't. ”
“I can give money. If the money is not enough, I will owe it first and I will definitely pay it back. I can swear to it.” ”
Chen Pingan still shook his head.The boy didn't agree.
The young man looked sad, "It's useless for us to learn the stances of those martial arts masters. I heard that they also need boxing manuals, meridians and so on. We haven't read the books and can't learn the real skills. ”
Actually, there are still some things I can’t say. I have been practicing nonsense with Gao You for several years. It’s hard to say whether I have gained some strength or not. Anyway, I get hungry easily, so I have to go when I’m hungry. Stealing money from the streets. No one in the capital's large or small martial arts schools is willing to accept two paupers, and it's even harder to get involved with gangs.
Chen Pingan asked: "Why do you want to learn boxing?"
Wan Yan said: "You won't be bullied. It will be easier to make money if you learn the skills."
>Zhou Haijing, who was leaning at the door, shouted with the young swordsman: "It's too late to learn boxing. We met seven or eight years ago. Maybe I would be willing to teach them some three-legged cat kung fu. Now I teach them If you punch them, they will only harm them. With their temper, they will be beaten to death in sect fights sooner or later. It is better to be a thief with less ability and less trouble."
Gao You said angrily: "Sister Zhou, don't look down on people. Wan Yan has a good mind. He just doesn't have money to study, otherwise he can just take the Jinshi exam."
A handsome young man with a shy smile Shy, scratching his head, looking a little uncomfortable.
The two of them were about to reach the end of the alley, and Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Why do you want to learn boxing from me? Isn't your sister Zhou also a member of the world, so why bother to seek distance from the near."
Wan Yan said: "I think Mr. Chen is a master."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Yes."
Wan Yan immediately changed his words: "He is also a master!"
p>The young man turned around and smiled apologetically at Zhou Haijing.
Zhou Haijing was amused.
Chen Ping'an couldn't help laughing and said: "I am a master, how can I tell?"
Wan Yan said: "Awe. Sect Master Chen walks and talks differently from us, but unlike Zhou "Like aunt."
Chen Ping'an hummed, nodded and said: "It is a good habit to observe the world carefully, which will allow you to avoid many bumps and bumps inadvertently. It's just that we can't do this on our own. It’s proven by your own body. You should treat it as a person’s experience.”
Confucianism talks about being cautious, and Buddhism talks about self-certification, but they actually mean the same thing. It's just that there's no point in saying this to a young boy right now. I have to admit that many truths actually have thresholds. In addition, it also depends on whether one is willing to learn and whether one is willing to listen.
Chen Pingan stopped at the alley and smiled with the young man: "Your Aunt Zhou is easy to talk to. Please beg her more. Also, be smart and find something to do on weekdays, such as taking the initiative." It’s definitely not difficult to buy wine for Aunt Zhou and learn some tricks to keep fit.”
Wan Yan nodded, “I understand, you still have to spend money!”
< p>Chen Pingan laughed, walked out of the alley, and left.Zhou Haijing curled his lips.
Wan Yan stopped for a long time, waiting until he could no longer see thatAfter wearing a green shirt, he ran back to his good friends Gao You and Zhou Haijing.
Zhou Haijing said: "I advise you to give up on learning boxing. The reason is that you two brats are not evil enough."
Gao You asked doubtfully: "Not evil enough?"
Zhou Haijing rolled his eyes, turned around, walked into the house, and closed the courtyard door.
Looking at the white bowl on the table, she just hoped that this bookish swordsman, Pei Qian's master, would really keep his word and stop pestering her.
Zhou Haijing sat on the threshold of the main room and looked at the courtyard door outside.
The fishermen on the seaside are exposed to the sun all year round and the sea breeze is smelly. Most of the boys and girls fishing for pearls have skin as dark as charcoal, and you can easily see where they are.
There was once a foreigner who stopped in a seaside village and would help fishermen dry sea salt and build dams.
Her hometown is close to the sea. Her ancestors have passed down from generation to generation that this is the place where the sun closes its eyes to rest and opens its eyes to wake up.
Thinking back to those days, poor women were as ignorant as a mirror.
Chen Pingan gradually walked away and murmured to himself, "Flowers and fruits at the same time."
————
Front yard of Yang’s Pharmacy, Sudian He and his junior brother Shi Lingshan continued to look after the shop. There was no business anyway.
Su Dian left the front yard and went to the backyard to sit. Even though the master was gone, she still behaved herself and did not dare to sit on the steps of the main house or the long strip. Sitting on the stool.
Shi Lingshan raised the curtain, looked at his senior sister, and lamented, I am so worried about this bastard Zheng Dafeng! He kept telling lies and doing a lot of harm to people. A few years ago, after listening to this old bachelor’s bad idea, I met Yu Lu at a battlefield site in the old Zhu Ying Dynasty, and he said that he was not Su Dian’s junior brother, but hers. His son... As a result, after that, even after being punched, the senior sister never gave him a good look. Even to this day, she is not willing to talk to him.
Shi Lingshan asked softly: "Sister, are you worried?"
Su Dian didn't seem to hear.
Shi Lingshan asked in a low voice: "Senior sister, do you miss Master?"
Su Dian did not turn around, just said: "Go and see the shop."
< p>Shi Lingshan sighed and ran back to the front yard happily. The senior sister said four words to him today.Su Dian is indeed missing someone, but it is not her most respected master, but her uncle.
There once was a dragon kiln, and there was a child with a yellow face and thin skin. He was so dirty that no one could tell him apart from a boy or a girl, but no one cared about it anyway.
Her uncle, because he couldn't stand the looks and harsh words from his neighbors, sold his land at a low price and went to work as a kiln worker. In order to make things easier for her, her uncle didn't tell anyone about their relationship. He just privately begged Master Yao to let her do some trivial things there as he could, and that's why he stayed there.
Later my uncle died.
She felt it was better to stay in the small town and be scolded to death than to be beaten to death and then stabbed to death herself with broken porcelain pieces.
When Su Dian thought of this, he raised the back of his hand and rubbed his eyes.
During those years, occasionally my uncle would say something from his heart when he was drinking. Probably because she never said anything and just listened silently every time, so he mistakenly thought that she was too young or something. Don't even understand.
My uncle said that the look in my eyes was like seeing something dirty. I know it all, so what can I do, I can only pretend not to know.
I can’t hide or run away. I don’t blame them, I brought it on myself.
Her uncle gave her a nickname, which is now "Rouge". In fact, she disliked it very much and even always hated it.
When he was in a good mood, he would often say something to her, "Little Rouge, you are a girl, and it is the best thing to like rouge and gouache."
In those years, the only person my uncle could bully was actually the short, thin boy with straw sandals.
Because the boy was too poor and a helpless orphan. The most unpromising uncle seems to be able to become rich, face-saving, and confident in his speech only when he is with the man named Chen.
She had seen the guy who was older than her from a distance many times. When he was drawing blanks, he would frown slightly and purse his lips hard, but every time he made something, it was still the same. no.
Uncle came at the end and told her, little Rouge, if something happens in the future, go find that person, Chen Pingan from Mud Bottle Lane. He will help you, for sure.
But don’t bother others too often. If you do it too often, it will still annoy others.
She didn’t know it at the time, but these were almost her uncle’s last words.
Su Dian sat on the steps, huddled and lost in thought.
One night in Mud Bottle Alley, a tall and thin man who had specially changed into clean clothes sneaked back to the town overnight while the owner of the house needed to stare at the kiln fire.
A dark and skinny little girl is responsible for helping her uncle guard the door at the alley.
The man climbed over the wall and entered the yard, but hesitated for a long time and lingered, holding a rouge box in his hand.
Before that, the man secretly went to Yang's pharmacy, found the lonely old man, and bought an ointment.
The reason why I am afraid of death is just because I am afraid of pain. Hanging oneself to death looks ugly, and drowning oneself to death is so uncomfortable. Just thinking about it makes me so scared that I dare not die. This makes the man more and more sad as he thinks about it. What a pussy.
When a man is in a bad mood, he likes to sit by the water, or cut red paper, or braid the little girl who depends on each other. He does other things except the crops he has disliked the most since he was a child. Life is actually very ingenious. When I'm by the river, I'll face the water and keep turning my head, as if I'm looking in a mirror. I often raise my palms and gently stroke my temples. Being a kiln worker is hard work, but there is no single room to live in. A big man can take care of you.If someone bumps into the mirror, you will get a lot of gossip.
The person he once hated the most, no one would have thought, was not the guys who were used to bullying him, but the straw-shoe boy from Mud Bottle Alley.
Because when the young man looked at him, there was no mockery or even pity in his eyes, just like... looking at a person.
But the more Chen Pingan behaves like this, the more uncomfortable he, a sissy, feels.
He wished that everyone was a piece of shit, and he would rather that young man had the same virtues as all the kiln workers, so he liked to pick the fight, and fanned the flames against the kiln worker apprentice who was born in Mud Bottle Lane. .
Until that day, he caused a big disaster, cut off the fire of the dragon kiln, and hid in the mountains and forests. The young man was actually the first to find his traces, but he said nothing and pretended not to. After seeing him, he helped conceal his traces.
Later, his legs were broken and he spent half a year recuperating in bed. In the end, the person who took care of him the most was the charcoal boy who didn't know how to refuse other people's requests.
It was also during those years that he, a sissy, often chatted with Chen Ping'an. However, the young man was taciturn, and it was mostly the men who talked and the young man listened.
"Chen Pingan."
"You are a weirdo, actually weirder than me, but you are really a good person."
"As the old saying goes, good people are If you don’t live long, good people will be rewarded, what do you think?”
“You don’t know, right?”
“When you are older, you will. You will know how hard it is to be a good person."
Occasionally, Chen Ping'an would say a few words from his heart, saying that he was a good person and wanted to beat him, but he was afraid of being beaten once by Liu Xianyang. , I don’t have to take action.
The last conversation between the two was about Sissy wanting to give Chen Pingan something.
"I give you something, it is my only valuable thing."
It is the extremely precious rouge box. It's like all the energy and energy in his life and all the good hopes for life are hidden inside.
But the boy was sitting on the threshold, shaking his head and saying: "No."
"It's not dirty."
"It's not that it's dirty. I just don’t like it. I’ve taken it and it’s useless. I can’t sell it for money.”
“Take it, even if I beg you, I’ll never be scolded like a sissy again.” Come on, if no one helps me keep that box of rouge, I can't help but take a look. Once I take a look, I have to look at it a few more times. After a few more looks, I can't help but apply some more and start thinking about this month. If you pay me too much, you will be called a sissy again.”
But in the end, the boy still didn’t accept the rouge box.
That’s why that night, the man sneaked back to the small town’s Mud Bottle Lane and climbed over the wall to Chen Ping’an’s ancestral home.
But in the end, Sissy still didn’t follow her original intention of digging up the earth to bury the rouge box. Instead, she climbed over the wall to the alley again and hid it in the alley far away from the house.It's in the nearby alley, not facing the courtyard gate.
The sissy’s thoughts and reasons were very simple: she was afraid of dirtying the clean place.
As he walked to the entrance of the alley, the man held the little girl's hand and looked back with tears on his face. He closed his eyes and thought in his heart.
I just hope that God will open his eyes and stop looking at himself, just look at Chen Pingan, and bless good people with good rewards.

Listening to the words of the boy riding the bull, Chen Lingjun was stunned. He really didn’t understand what the name was, so he had to ask: "Fellow Taoist, are you looking for someone Who, can you say it again? Anyway, I am idle. I can lead the way for fellow Taoists. I can walk down the streets and alleys in Huaihuang County with my eyes closed."
This person. The foreign Taoist is looking for someone with a very strange name. I have never heard of it.
The young Taoist boy smiled and said: "I can just find it myself. Cultivating yourself is where the fun lies."
Chen Lingjun didn't care about this, and first talked to the green bull from his heart He asked tentatively: "This fellow Taoist, do you understand what I am saying? If you do, just nod or something."
After all, the young Taoist boy had previously called him "fellow Taoist" , maybe he is a spiritual monster who is successful in cultivating Taoism, but is he a fellow Taoist?
Seeing that the green cow was indifferent, Chen Lingjun was completely relieved. It turned out to be a junior who has not yet enlightened himself. Haha, he played the piano to the cow and played the piano to the cow.
It can be seen from this that the Taoism of this young man riding on the back of an ox must not be much higher.
Otherwise, the immortal mounts on the top of the mountain do not have the fifth realm of cultivation and the magical power of refining, and the Immortal Master of Genealogy would be embarrassed to take them out?
Then he reminded the young Taoist boy: "Fellow Taoist passerby, your horse won't run away, will it? If it hits a passerby, it will be bad. It's a small matter to pay money, but you will also be sued. , especially the people in the small town. Autumn is about to come. The people who stayed in the county and have not moved their homes will soon be very busy. Even if they collect the money, the autumn harvest will be delayed and they will suffer. After all, Not beautiful."
The young Taoist boy said with a smile: "Didn't my fellow Taoist say before that your name is very famous in the entire Beiyue realm?"
Chen Lingjun rolled his eyes and said: " Help a friend, no matter how we talk about loyalty, we can't act recklessly. We should be reasonable. If we really want to hit someone, then we are in the wrong. The other party is willing to use money for personal gain. If you don't have money, of course I can pay. , Let’s not talk about borrowing or repaying, but if someone insists on dragging you to the county government to reason with you, what else can I do? The county magistrate is not my son, so I will listen to whatever he says.”
The Taoist boy nodded and said slowly: "It makes sense."
It was just three words, but the young man deliberately spoke slowly, as if there was truth.
Chen Lingjun felt a headache after hearing this. He shook his head and sighed. This fellow Taoist is not very practical and does not have enough Taoism. He just makes up for it with words.
The Taoist boy turned over and got off the back of the green ox, and asked, "Do you have any issues with that Headmaster Lu?"
Chen Lingjun chuckled and said, "Can I have any issues with him?"What's the point of celebrating a festival? The realm of such an old immortal who is far away in the horizon is as high as Pearl Mountain, and his Taoism is as long as Longxu River. I, a nobody with small arms and thin legs, can't reach such high heights.
The young man asked with a smile: "Do you ever know your true face?" "
Chen Lingjun hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I was raised by nature, without a father or a mother, so it is not natural to talk about anything. "
The young man stood on the spot and said: "Fellow Taoist's statement is quite interesting. Straight to the point, straight to the point of mind.
Chen Lingjun was happy, "Ha, fellow Taoist, you are a wandering Taoist priest, how can you speak some Buddhist language and not worry about being blamed by your own ancestor?" Fellow Taoist, you have to be sincere. Even if the Patriarch can't listen, you still have to take it easy.
The young man laughed it off and asked again: "Won't your master help you to investigate and trace your ancestors?" Ordinary people, when dealing with this matter, even have family trees and genealogies, let alone Taoist monks like me. Light a few sticks of incense and burn some paper on the roadside as a way to pay homage to your ancestors from a distance.
Chen Lingjun couldn't help but speak from the bottom of his heart again, "Let's start with it. I'm too lazy to say it. Ever since I can remember, I haven't had a father or a mother. Just get used to it and you won't be so sad." After all, it's not something worth talking about. It's too unheroic to always bring it up and ask for mercy. As for my master, he doesn’t care much about my past. He doesn’t talk about it when he sees me, and he never asks me about it. He only believes in one thing, and takes me back home, so he has to be responsible for me... Actually, it’s okay. After going up the mountain, the master I often travel far away, and when I get home, I don’t care much. The more I do this, the more sensible I become. ”
“What do you think the largest mountain and river in the world look like? "
"Whatever you want to do with this thing, there is a hammer for it. Fellow Taoist, can you tell me? ”
“Does the vast Nine Continents look like nine mountains emerging from the water, or is it just a mountain, just surrounded by the sea? "
Chen Lingjun nodded when he heard the words. It really meant something. He laughed and said: "Fellow Taoist, this statement is also quite knowledgeable.
Chen Lingjun stood on tiptoes and secretly patted a horn, "There is a hilltop in my house. It's like spring all year round. There are exotic flowers and grasses all over the mountains and plains. There are so many sweet and green grasses. I can't take care of them." "
Qingniu shook his head slightly, as if he glanced at the child in green.
Chen Lingjun nodded and said happily: "As soon as I heard about eating, my understanding came, which is a good thing. In the future, I might actually be able to practice immortal magic. ”
The young Taoist boy smiled and didn’t say anything. He just patted Qing Niu on the back, signaling to calm down his temper.
This time he visited this small town. It is to trace back to the origin and see what one is.
The monk who went to a dragon kiln from the river wanted to know how one became one.
< p>As for the old master outside the school, they want to know where this one is going.The young boy Tianjun who has been imprisoned for more than ten thousand years does not hesitate to use the god of fire Ruan Xiu and the god of water Li Liu. The deceitful method that can be discarded will eventually lead to success step by step.Interlocked with each other, hiding from the sky and the sea, how dare you really make a brand-new co-master of the old heaven who had no connection with the road to become that one, who is about to reappear in the world.
Chen Ping'an in Mud Ping Lane, that young man who grew up eating hundreds of meals, if there are no accidents in the future, he will have the greatest chance of becoming that one in the end.
This was never the case at the beginning.
Old man Yang seemed to have quietly broken up the one with his own hands, and then allowed everyone within the small town to compete for that one. Everyone is qualified to compete for this thing, even Ruan Xiuhe. The reincarnation of gods like Li Liu also has a chance. Everyone has a chance, good or bad, or hard. Everyone has a chance.
Ruan Xiu, Li Liu, Li Xisheng, Li Baoping, the sissy man of the kiln worker, Ma Kuxuan of Xinghua Lane, Song Jixin of Niping Lane, Zhenlong Zhigui, Li Huai, Liu Xianyang, Gu Can, Zhao Yao, Lin Shouyi, Su Dian, Xie Ling...
Everyone is silent and unknowingly involved in this situation.
In addition, Lizhu Cave has many intricate connections.
Because of this, the secret of heaven is not revealed and there is no trace to be found. What's more, there was Qi Jingchun in front of him and Cui Chan in the back...
Chen Lingjun looked at the young Taoist boy and asked: "What's going on? Are you distracted? You're still embarrassed to let me help lead the way. Why are you so polite? , tell me where to go."
Daozu said with a smile: "That gentleman of yours is very powerful. I want to meet him if I have the chance."
Chen Lingjun patted him. The young Taoist boy put his shoulders on his shoulders, and then with a face full of triumph, he put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Did you talk nonsense, fellow Taoist?"
An old master came to the boy in green with a smile and patted Chen Lingjun on the head. , smiled and said: "Talk to Taoist ancestors, don't be big or small."
Chen Lingjun slapped the old master's hand away with one hand. After thinking about it, let it go. We are all scholars. I don't care about anything with you. He just looked at the young Taoist boy with a smile and said, "Fellow Taoist, your name is too big. It's homophonic with 'Tao Ancestor'. Change it. If you have a chance, change it."
The boy The Taoist boy smiled and said: "Taozu is not a name, it is just a Taoist title given by others. I don't think there is any need to change it."
The middle-aged monk followed and appeared on the street.
Chen Lingjun choked for a moment, glanced at the monk in the distance, then looked up at the old master next to him with a kind smile, and finally looked at the young Taoist boy. Chen Lingjun took a deep breath and said, He knelt down, clasped his hands together, raised them high, and remained silent. It was really not that he was disrespectful of etiquette, but that among these three, which one should be addressed first? It seems that no matter who you call first, it’s wrong. No matter what, let’s kowtow nine times first as a sign of respect, and then treat it as three kowtows for each person. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about this trivial matter, the founder of the three religions.
The old master clasped his hands behind his back and said: "Let me see, the matter is over, not to mention that for the time being, there is still no definite answer, so we can't see each other. It's better to go directly to the old heaven. The ruins are busy with business, and the worldly affairs are left to the people in the world."
Daozu smiled.
The Holy Master also laughed.
After Chen Lingjun finished his nibbling, he quietly raised his head and found that something seemed to be wrong. He didn’t care about it anymore and kowtowed nine more times, no, eighteen times!
The middle-aged monk looked at the plaque with Buddhist sayings on the archway building and said, "Don't ask for help from outside." Then he looked at the immortal tomb, clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddha chant, and made endless wishes.
Daozu glanced at a room in the backyard of Yang's medicine shop. There was a letter left for Chen Ping'an. The letter just said one sentence, "Have you ever had enough?"
The old master sighed, what a Qi Jingchun.
