Sword of Coming

The warm sun is melting, the spring is shining, flowers are coming, plum blossoms and peach blossoms are blooming one after another.

In Liulichang, the capital of the capital, where there are many bookstores, a handsome young man with a purple gourd wine flask that is as shiny as oil hangs from his waist. He is sitting at the door of the shop and basking in the sun, eating a bowl of pea yellow that he bought on the way here. , while bargaining with the shopkeeper who was familiar with the house, saying that the few books he was interested in were old girls who couldn't get married, he was also flirting with the proprietress of the bookstore next door who had set up a roadside stall to sell books. At the same time, here Waiting for the rabbit, killing three birds with one stone.

The shopkeeper who lent a bench to the young drunkard sat behind the counter and carefully wiped a piece of imitation official porcelain. He raised his head and looked at the rogue guy outside the door who was looking sideways and flirting with the shopkeeper next to him, and said with a smile: "Servant Cao, if you dare to touch her hand and hug her a few times in broad daylight, I will sell you all these books in my shop at a 50% discount. How about that?"

The young man picked up a piece of pea yellow and threw it into his mouth. He said with a playful smile: "Forget it during the day. I have a bad reputation. Can I just listen to the corner at night?"

The two men at the door spoke in loud voices, and obviously neither of them deliberately avoided the MILF. Upon hearing this, the woman grabbed a book from the stall, laughed and cursed, and threw the book at it. That handsome man who has never been upright all day long, "One has no eggs and one has no courage. They both only know how to talk. Isn't it interesting?"

That Shilang Cao was not just a nickname, but a real Shilang from the officialdom of Dali, and besides, he was still an official in charge of officials.

The young man caught the "hidden weapon" without reading the title of the book. He just sniffed it and gently threw the book back to the beautiful woman's stall. "The content has no meaty taste and the text has no color. If you don't want to read it, It’s boring, boring.”

Cao Gengxin shifted his gaze a little and saw a few people walking out of an antique shop in the distance. They were all foreigners from Luzhou, Beiju.

The tall, middle-aged man wore a worn-out old mink hat, a cotton-padded jacket, and a pair of suede boots. The man's face was not bitter at all, just poor.

It is Liu Xu, the sword cultivator of the Liu family in Luomahe.

Yuan Xuan of Sanlang Temple has a young appearance and is wearing a mud-gold robe.

On this cross-continent trip south to Aquarius Continent, the heir of Sanlang Temple, nicknamed "Yuan Yichi" and "Yuan Zhangshui", still only brought two followers, Fan Yu, a martial artist who traveled far away. This female martial arts master once went to the capital of Dali and the battlefield of Dadu, and sacrificed her life. Therefore, the Ministry of Rites of Dali has a detailed record. Fan Yu visited the mountains and rivers in Dali, and the gods of various mountains and rivers. After receiving the customs clearance document, if Fan Yu publicly reveals his identity, he must treat him with courtesy. If she intends to travel at night in brocade clothes, there is no need to disturb her travels.

The high-ranking gods of Da Li all have such a "gift list" in their hands for easy reference and hospitality at any time. Regardless of whether he is a mountain monk from a foreign country or a warrior in the martial arts world, as long as he has repaid Da Li with morality on the battlefield, the court will treat him as a national scholar and treat him with courtesy.

Liu Wuding, an old swordsman in Yuanying Realm, is different from Fan Yu who has a similar status as a son. The old man is the first-class worshiper of Sanlang Temple. His annual salary is quite considerable. He gets a lot of money. In fact, he only does one thing, to give to the direct descendants of the Yuan family. The disciple's protector used to be Yuan Yitu, but now he is replaced by Yuan Xuan.

When the old sword cultivator was young, he was a genealogy cultivator, but later he became a wandering Shanze wild cultivator. This was due to the fact that when Liu Wuding had just entered the golden elixir realm, a few days after leaving seclusion, So I secretly went to demolish another family's ancestral hall. It was the first time I had done this kind of thing. I didn't have enough experience in the martial arts. I accidentally failed to hide my identity and the other party saw that my swordsmanship was weak. This caused a big disaster. , a direct descendant of the ancestral hall who was expected to succeed as the leader, a young genius with a bright future, had to be expelled from the sect and fell into silence.

But looking back at the sword-fighting two hundred years ago, the old man never regretted it.

It doesn't matter if you are young and energetic, I have been young after all.

Cao Gengxin hurriedly swallowed the last mouthful of pea yellow, shook his sleeves, stood up, shook his robe, smiled and waved: "Liu Jianxian, Mr. Yuan, Liu Jianxian, Grandmaster Fan. Ha, Liu Liu has the same pronunciation. If I had known, I would have called him only one." .”

The young minister spoke in a very authentic and elegant manner in Luzhou, Beiju.

Liu Xu frowned and asked, "Are you? Entrusted by the Ministry of Punishment? Want to investigate and verify our identities?"

The mountain people from the Da Li Dynasty who dealt with foreign monks were usually worshiped by the Ministry of Punishment in name. If Da Li monks were sent to accompany the army, it would not be hospitality.

However, Yuan Xuan recognized the other party's identity and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, he is not from the Ministry of Justice, but from the Ministry of Justice of Lijing, Cao Shilang, a very famous person in the mountains."

This person was indeed very famous, and he was able to make an exception for Emperor Song of Dali to allow Cao Gengxin to bring a jug of wine to the Yamen, but the rule was that he could only drink one jug of wine a day, and no more wine was allowed that day. If he was on duty during the overnight ban, he would also He gave Minister Cao a jar of Changchun Palace Immortal Brew as a reward, euphemistically calling it fishing with wine, so that Cao Gengxin would not find an excuse to ask for leave and not go to Dianmao. According to official rumors, Cao Gengxin, who returned to Beijing to become a minister, had already prepared more than a dozen excuses to avoid various official duties that he felt would be the same without him, and he would do it all over again every time he used them.

To the north of Luzhou, the north-south Zhongtiao Mountain runs along a large river. The mountain is long and narrow, and the entire majestic mountain range is like a god with his eyes raised between his eyebrows.

The Liu clan of Luomahe and the Yuan clan of Sanlangmiao are located to the east and west of the mountain range extremely rich in mineral resources, occupying a cornucopia and an armory respectively.

Cao Gengxin gave Yuan Xuan a thumbs up, "Young man is so knowledgeable!"

Yuan Xuan smiled and said: "Servant Cao, I am actually quite old."

Cao Gengxin nodded and said: "Then we are the same, with a tender face, which gives us an advantage."

Liu Xu asked: "From the official department? What do you want from us?"

Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not looking for you, I'm just waiting for someone with you. I have been his neighbor for many years, but I have never met him. After thinking about it, I always feel uncomfortable."

Yuan Xuan asked: "Is it that Lord Chen Shan?"

Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "Master Yuan is so smart, he guessed right."

Yuan Xuan cursed in his heart, you will wait for whomever we are looking for, what is so hard to guess about this. What's more, the Longquan County Kiln Supervision and Construction Office is neighbors with that Luolu Mountain.

Liu Xu said, "Why did you see him?"

In fact, this question is a bit inappropriate.

Cao Gengxin, the official, doesn't care what Liu Xu does when he comes to Dali, and Liu Xu, the swordsman, certainly doesn't care who Cao Gengxin wants to see.

But it can be seen from this that the relationship between Liu Xu and Chen Ping'an is definitely not as ordinary as he and Yuan Xuan said.

However, Cao Gengxin did not show any signs of annoyance. He patted the wine gourd on his waist, turned to the beautiful woman who was setting up a stall to dry out books, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Nangong, what do you want to say?"

The woman smiled and said: "One of Su Zi's famous poems is in order, 'The woman said that I have a bucket of wine stored away for a long time, just in case my son needs it from time to time.'"

Cao Gengxin said with a smile: "I still need to introduce myself. My name is Cao Gengxin, and I am named Shucheng. I am a native of Beijing. I worked as a kiln supervisor for many years. I got along like a fish in water at the old site of Lizhudongtian. Now I am working as an official. Working as an errand to earn a living means you are depressed and frustrated. If there are no noble people in the court to support you, it will be difficult to become an official. "

Cao Gengxin turned his head and said with a smile: "The rightful master is here."

Liu Xu and Liu Wuding looked at each other.

This man named Cao is not only a Qi practitioner, but also has a high level of cultivation.

Cao Gengxin glanced at Liu Xu and Liu Wuding.

Once upon a time, a Nascent Soul realm qi practitioner, not to mention a swordsman, was already so unattainable. Now looking at old gods like them, it seems like that.

Just like when Cao Gengxin was young, he remembers the first time he went to visit Liu Gao in the alley outside Renyun Yiyun Building. Because he knew the realm of the old god in advance, he was still a little uneasy. Even after carrying two jugs of good wine, he still had to worry about etiquette. If it's not enough, will he be rejected? Looking at it now, he can still drink with Brother Liu.

When he was younger, when he was young, Cao Gengxin was a little worried about what he saw and heard among his family elders and what they discussed about state affairs. Even in a temple calculation where he was sure to win, he deliberately pretended not to be sure.

Now we, the children of the Great Li Dynasty, all regard the Great Li Dynasty as one of the most powerful countries in the world, and regard this kind of thing as the most natural thing.

Especially the gang of bastards in Yichi Lane and Chier Street have begun to calculate their respective advantages and disadvantages with the Daduan Dynasty and Xuanmi Dynasty in Middle-earth, and speculate on when Da Li will catch up.

In fact, it wasn't like this before.

I remember that when I was young, Cao Gengxin once asked my grandfather about an official story that was famous between the government and the public. Did Shen Shen, Minister of the Ministry of War, really scold Cui Guoshi like that? Since Shen Chen resigned from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and established an academy in his hometown with his stubborn character, why did he later want to return to officialdom? Did Cui Guoshi personally come forward and actively invite Shen Chen to take charge of the Ministry of War in Beijing?

After all, Cao Gengxin's grandfather was the head of the Cao family in Shangzhu Kingdom. The outside world could only rely on guesswork, but this old man could ask Shen Chen face to face to find out the truth.

It turned out that Cui Guoshi had visited the local academy and indeed personally invited Shen Chen to return to officialdom. The reason for persuading the stubborn and tempered Shen was very simple.

Cui Zhang asked Shen Chen to raise his eyes and take a longer view.

Since it will all be the land of Dali soon, why do you, Shen Shen, care about those trivial things?

If the anecdote was limited to this, Cao Gengxin actually felt that Cui Guoshi was so talented and powerful that it would not make the young man's scalp numb and his back chilly.

It turned out that the old man had told his most valued grandson a more trivial matter at that time, saying that when Cui Guoshi showed up at the private academy, the academy that Shen Chen had worked so hard to establish with all his family property had been converted into a government-run institution, and the new appointee The mountain chief is already on his way to take office, and that mountain chief is a literary scholar whom Shen Chen originally disliked. He has three generations of scholars and five Jinshi. Once this person takes over the academy, there will be public enmity and conflict between the two sides. Personal grudges, I guess Shen Shen will be disgusted to death. The so-called resigning and living in seclusion in his hometown is a miserable waste of water.

Cui Han gives you a choice, and there is no second choice.

You Shen Shen can either suffocate in your hometown until you die, or you can obediently go to the capital of Dali and become a high official, serving the country and the people as your own, and serving the common people and the country as your three immortal aspirations, working hard and fulfilling your ambitions.

Therefore, Cao Gengxin came to the conclusion very early that the smarter the person, the more afraid he is of Cui Guoshi.

Cao Gengxin has been the kiln supervisor for so many years. Do you really think that Cao Duzao doesn't want to have a successful career? It's just that Cao Gengxin is smart enough and doesn't dare to be smart.

After leaving Qianbu Corridor, Jiang Shangzhen said he was going to Changchun Palace to take care of some personal matters.

Xie Gou is still at the Fire Temple.

Chen Ping'an, with only Xiao Mo by his side, came here to find Liu Xu and his party.

Cao Geng bowed heartily and took the initiative to apologize: "I have been an official in a small town for many years, but I did not go to Luopo Mountain to visit Master Chen. I am very rude."

"I didn't go to the Yamen Supervisory Office to visit my parents, so I think it's even."

Chen Ping'an returned the salute and asked with a smile: "Why is Minister Cao here, waiting for me, waiting here?"

Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Master Chen."

Chen Pingan asked: "Do you have anything to discuss?"

Cao Gengxin shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a meeting, a greeting, and I'm satisfied after seeing you. If Master Chen needs to invite friends to drink, just say that there are restaurants on the other side of the Changpu River, big and small, and I can record them with my name." It costs nothing.”

Chen Ping'an asked in confusion: "Shilang Cao's salary is so high?"

Cao Gengxin said without shame: "Master Chen is drinking with his friends when he is drinking, he is keeping accounts at the restaurant, he is keeping accounts, Cao Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Service is responsible for his debts, and Cao Gengxin, a poor man, is paying back his money."

Liu Xu was filled with admiration when he heard this. He and Cao Gengxin were not from the same place, and they didn't have the same atmosphere. It didn't take much talking to know that they couldn't be friends, but Cao Gengxin and the second shopkeeper could definitely get along.

Chen Ping'an cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness."

After that, Chen Pingan took Liu Xu and the others out of Liulichang and asked Liu Xu if he had chosen an inn. Liu Xu said that he didn't have any at the moment, so Chen Pingan recommended a place and said that he was actually not familiar with the Xianjia Inn, but Nowadays, it is very famous in Aquarius Mountain.

Of course Liu Xu didn't care. After all, it was Yuan Xuan who paid the money. Yuan Xuan naturally didn't care either. He didn't spend a lot of money on the trip to Liulichang, so he was worried about having no place to spend money.

Mr. Cao returned the small bench to the shop and finally got what he wanted and bought the books he had been coveting for a long time.

The proprietress of the shop next door who was setting up a stall to display books saw this and asked curiously: "How did you make the iron rooster pluck its feathers? What kind of ecstasy soup was poured into him?"

Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "I told Lao Hong that the person who was standing chatting with me in front of his shop just now is Master Chen of Luopo Mountain. As soon as Lao Hong was happy, he gave it to me for free."

"You're really not lying?"

The woman was doubtful, and quickly turned her head to look at the back of the Qingshan figure in the distance, and murmured: "She doesn't look very handsome either. She looks worse than you."

I remember that the Liulichang bookstore used to sell a landscape travelogue, and the sales were quite good. The protagonist in the book was said to be a young and heroic man, with a face like a crown jade, and a graceful demeanor. Please come, you will have an unstoppable romantic encounter...

Cao Gengxin put the book in his arms and said with a smile: "Be a down-to-earth person, a cheerful person with a broad heart and a fat body. You can eat well, drink well, and sleep well."

Walking out of the noisy Liulichang area, Liu Xu asked: "Are we really going to the Changpu River to drink?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? I can tell where I went with my knees. It's useless to report Cao Gengxin's name. I'm sure nine out of ten restaurants will kick people out."

What's more, the restaurants on the other side of the Changpu River are quite smelly, and there aren't many places to drink vegetarian wine. Minister Cao obviously decided that Master Chen didn't dare to go there too much.

Yuan Xuan took courage and asked shyly: "Master Chen, do you still remember me? Last time I was fishing on a raft in Tonglu Lake, I introduced myself as Yuan Xuan, from Sanlang Temple."

Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I remember it, I remember it deeply. Mr. Yuan was young at that time, and he was an old man in the world. He had a kind heart, but acted in a sophisticated way."

Yuan Xuan suddenly became energetic and turned to look at the people around him.

How about it? !

Or is it just a polite word? !

The old sword cultivator pretended to be surprised, and Fan Yu nodded slightly, all applauding him.

Liu Xu was a little speechless. How could you be sure that this was just a polite word?

For a little fool like Yuan Xuan, no matter how much money he has in his pocket, it will be useless when he arrives at the Great Wall of Swords. He is no better than Wei Jianxian of Fengxue Temple. It will become just a number on the account book of the second shopkeeper.

The two sides met for the first time in the bronze-green lake in Guixi Valley. According to the records of "Xinxinji", there is a local specialty fish, covered with treasures. There are rumors on the mountain that the most mysterious thing is that if the Qi practitioner eats this fish, he will not be immune to the evil spirits. The entanglement of any nightmare in the world.

The higher the realm of monks, the less dreamy they are. If a monk still has many dreams after reaching the fairyland, it is natural that his practice has gone awry, and it is easy for him to become obsessed and lose his Taoist mind.

Chen Ping'an went to Tonglu Lake to try his luck at that time. It was the best if he could catch fish. It didn't matter if he couldn't.

The last time Yuan Xuan visited the Ghost Valley, he also tried his luck. But not as indifferent as Chen Ping'an.

Because of his aunt, Yuan Yihu, she has been plagued by nightmares for a hundred years, which is why she has been unable to break the Nascent Soul bottleneck.

Although ordinary people couldn't see anything unusual about her, Yuan Yihui was already haggard. If an expert could see the truth, she would be skinny and bones.

It's just that women love beauty, so she used a talisman method, but in the end this was an "illusion" that deceived herself and others, so within a hundred years, she only appeared occasionally a few times, and even stopped participating in the ancestral hall meetings. The last time he showed up was when Liu Jinglong visited Sanlang Temple, Yuan Yihui had to cheer up. Even if she didn't want him to see his true face, she still wanted to see him for the last few times.

Ever since Gao Cheng, the heroic spirit of Guixi Valley, disappeared inexplicably and voluntarily abandoned a Jingguan city, Guixi Valley, now without a leader, was no longer able to compete with the Muyi Mountain. The Pima Sect had completely taken over the entire small world. The Sanlang Temple has a very good relationship with the Pima Sect. Anyway, there is no longer any obstruction by Gao Cheng. When Zhu Quan, who had not yet stepped down as the sect leader, heard about this, he simply went to the bottom of the river to let everyone know. The monk used the method of moving water and set up a net to catch fish. As a result, he caught a lot of the silver carp known as the "small lake dragon". The meat was thick and not suitable for the greedy eyes. The only valuable ones were After the silver carp survives for a hundred years, the two fish tentacles can be used to refine treasures such as demon-binding ropes, fairy-binding ropes, or whisks.

There are several silver carp among them, which are huge in size and weigh more than 500 kilograms. However, compared to the unique earfish in Tonglu Lake, there are silver carps in many large lakes in Beiju Luzhou, so they can only be regarded as ordinary things. As for the cockroaches, they also caught a pair, but they were not old enough. They were carefully brought back to the family by monk Yuan. Yuan Yihu glanced at the two cockroaches and said they were useless.

Yuan Yihui just kept the pair of swimming fish in the fish tank in the courtyard and played with them in his spare time. He didn't know whether it was really useless or unwilling to take them apart.

Yuan Xuan's face was full of embarrassment, "Master Chen, my trip to Aquarius Continent is actually...to find you, to see the old site of Lizhu Cave Sky, and then to Luopo Mountain..."

Liu Xu saw that Yuan Xuan was squirming and couldn't fart for a long time, so he helped him and said: "He has an elder in Sanlang Temple who is very qualified to practice Taoism. His name is Yuan Yihui. She is a very qualified female swordsman." , about a hundred years ago, she was in a secret ruins, and her Taoist heart was infected by something weird. After that, whenever she fell asleep or concentrated on practicing, she would be invaded by nightmares. Not to mention practicing diligently, she would not be able to sleep even if she was an ordinary person. It is difficult, so he has been stagnant in the Nascent Soul Realm for too many years. Judging from the current situation, Yuan Yihui's soul will turn into a ball of mud within a few years, and it will be difficult for the gods to save him. Therefore, he needs a long enough old cockroach. , as for the fact that this fish can expel troublesome nightmares, the rumors are true or false, in short, it is a dead horse being treated as a living horse."

Chen Ping'an asked doubtfully: "Have you ever asked an expert for help?"

Yuan's reputation on the mountain is so good, it stands to reason that if a Nascent Soul Realm monk is to pass the pass, he can just invite an Ascension Realm monk to defeat him ten times at a time.

Liu Xu shook his head and said: "Yuan Yitou is, after all, a woman waiting to be married. She probably has something to hide, so she doesn't want to go to Paidi Peak to find Master Huolong, and Sanlang Temple didn't even say hello to Chongxuan Department Yang Clan Tianjun. At first, the ancestor of the Sanlang Temple wanted to discuss the matter behind Yuan Yitou's back, but Yuan Yitou, who had expected it, had already said a few cruel words, and the ancestor of the Yuan family had to give up. Her stubborn temper, No one can resist it."

Chen Ping'an became increasingly confused and asked, "Then why did you think of coming to me?"

Master Huolong and Yang Tianjun of Chongxuan Department are men, so am I a woman?

Although on the battlefield of the Sword Qi Great Wall, the young Yin official did pretend to be a female sword cultivator. He was originally well hidden, but later it was leaked out for some reason.

If he was confused by a weird nightmare and hurt his heart, Chen Pingan's first thought was that Lu Chen could help "interpret the dream", and he believed that he could definitely catch him.

It's a pity that Headmaster Lu has returned to Qingming World at this moment.

Then there is the student Cui Dongshan, who is very accomplished in Shenhun. But if Yuan Yihui is unwilling to let the male Qi practitioners help, it will be very troublesome.

Otherwise, Xiaomo's "peeling off the cocoon" is also a masterpiece.

Liu Xu said: "The old turtle who proclaimed himself the King of the Black River used Laolong Cave as his dojo. He raised a pair of golden cockroaches that were old enough as a dowry for his daughter. Only in Laolong Cave, the old turtle The turtles have been raised for eight hundred years, and they are probably the ancestors of the turtles. But according to some gossip, it is rumored that when you visited the Ghost Valley, the old turtle returned to the temple to practice, Sanlang Temple The ancestor of the Yuan family went to find it personally, and after asking, he found out that the celadon water bowl used as a fish tank and the turtle fish had all been stolen. The old turtle had no choice but to say that he could not help. "

"As for the little turtle who calls himself Fuhai Yuanjun, and a precious carved mother copper coin in the Laolong Cave, they mysteriously disappeared and their whereabouts are still unknown. The old turtle also prayed to Patriarch Yuan to help find it. The whereabouts of its daughter."

"It was originally the dowry given to her by the old turtle, so she would not be a thief in this family. If she eloped with someone, then the little turtle has the appearance and figure of a human queen. She can talk about it, and she is also a first-rate hero. Now, I want to get to know each other."

Hearing this, Chen Ping'an understood and looked a little embarrassed.

Shanzhu Chen, who is upright and has a brilliant reputation, is reluctant to mention a few things. Apart from the incident of pretending to be a female cultivator at the Sword Qi Great Wall, most of the things happened in Luzhou, Beiju. In addition to the trip to Ghost Valley, there are also I was invited by the mountain spirit to compete in poems, and then I did business with Taoist Sun in partnership at the ruins of the Immortal Mansion... I was still young after all at that time, and I just felt that the world was huge and I was not in my hometown. Who would know or remember me? What have you done.

When I traveled to Luzhou in Beiju, I was just a childish and innocent boy, occasionally picking up rags. How could I be the same as the thief of the black-clothed scholar who never left the house without even a blade of grass growing?

During that trip to the Ghost Valley, he and the "wild cultivator" who was created by beheading three corpses of the little Tianjun Yang Ningxing and called himself Yang Mumao, were scheming all the way, working together to make money and trying different ways to deceive each other.

One is Yang Mumao who sees injustice on the road, and the other is a good person who faints at the sight of blood.

As for the last time the two sides met again, it was already in Feisheng City in the colorful world.

Chen Pingan said: "Yuan Xuan, I just have a clue as to the whereabouts of the pair of cockroaches, but I can't confirm anything yet. I can help you ask right away. Just wait for my news in the near future."

The Three Mountain Mirrors, a pair of golden cockroaches from the Old Dragon Cave, and the priceless carved mother-of-pearl were once cast by a certain hidden immortal of the Dezong of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, there are many other harvests, all of which were made by the scholar "Yang Mumao" in black. They come here to rob homes and homes in Guixi Valley and make easy money.

Compared with Chen Haoren's walking around picking up some rags, hammering here and there, and earning some hard-earned money, it is incomparable.

Although Chen Ping'an still doesn't know the whereabouts of the little turtle and the pair of cockroaches, he guesses that they are destined to be related to Yunxiao Palace.

Moreover, he is now nominally the boxing master of a certain prince of the Dayuan Dynasty.

In fact, after the little turtle took refuge in Yang Mumao, he did get a fortune from the landscape. Just as the scholar in black said at the riverside at that time, there were many imperial edicts stamped with jade seals in his home, and he had accumulated a lot of money. Dui, just fill in a name, and you can take office as the god of mountains and rivers. According to the agreement, or because of the threat from the ruthless Yang Mumao, Xiao Yu did not dare to reveal his whereabouts after leaving Ghost Valley. As for the two silverfish as "dowry", they no longer have anything to do with her, and are now kept in a pond in Chongxuan Department.

How many things in the world and people's hearts have gone around in circles, only to find that they are still where they are.

Yuan Xuan thanked him.

On the way here, Uncle Liu said that the second shopkeeper might not nod, but as long as he nodded, the matter would be considered safe.

Chen Pingan smiled and said that there is no need to be so outspoken, I am a regular customer of your Sanlang Temple.

Yuan Xuan was curious and asked why he said that, so Chen Pingan brought out Liu Jianxian and asked him to help buy two pieces of Lingbao Armor.

When Yuan Xuan asked about the price, he nodded and said that my aunt still had a lot of face. If it were him to negotiate the price, it would cost more than ten Guyu dollars.

Chen Ping'an was quite familiar with Dali Capital. He had been to Liulichang before, and when it was time to eat, he took them to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

After hearing that Yuan Xuan said that Uncle Liu was already the head of the family, Chen Pingan hurriedly congratulated him. He didn't plan to drink at first, so he asked for a few bottles of wine from the restaurant, and the dining table turned into a wine table.

The Liu family in Luomahe has a total of sixteen houses, and every house is full of talented people. Moreover, unlike other wealthy families, the Liu family is famous in the continent for making money wisely and being thrifty and thrifty. The rich will be rich, but they have nothing to do with wealth, arrogance and extravagance. But Liu Xu was not willing to take over the family business, and preferred to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.

When he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, he went to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, saying that he wanted to break the bottleneck and reach the upper five realms.

But among the elders in the Liu Family Ancestral Hall, none of them were worried. They were afraid that Liu Xu would not be able to get along there, and they were even more afraid that even if Liu Xu reached the Jade Pu Realm, there would need to be an event in Beiju Luzhou one day. Island sacrificial sword.

So when Liu Xu returned to his hometown, the first thing my grandfather said when he saw his grandson was that he should not be the head of the family.

Never would I have imagined that a meeting at the family ancestral hall would result in a highly anticipated "talented" family head with just a cross-continental ferry.

Liu Xu likes to drink, but he always takes his time. He rarely drinks happily and never gets bored.

This is true in my hometown, and it is also true in Jianqi Great Wall.

I am already a rich man, why should I pretend to be outside?

Luzhou in Beiju has the largest number of swordsmen, the most addicted to alcohol, and the best drinking capacity. What are the taboos at the drinking table? In addition, the Great Wall of Sword Qi calls Dong Sangen and Qi Tingji by their first names. Foreign Swordsman If you practice as the locals do, there will be nothing you dare not say or cannot say.

It was probably the second shopkeeper who had heard about Liu Xu's family background early and knew that he was the young head of the Liu family in Luomahe. In the words of those who are both drunkards and shills, even if a fat pig is running around in front of the second shopkeeper's house, and the second shopkeeper doesn't step forward and stab him, he will not be sorry for the fat pig.

So at the beginning, when the wine shop business was not so prosperous, I always thought of Liu Xu as a rich man who spent a lot of money, and asked him if he wanted to join the business together. With connections, he could make a steady profit without losing money. Later, Liu Xu was really Chen Pingan was tired of the entanglement, so he told Chen Pingan frankly that he had never been in the habit of bringing money with him when he went out. If he looked for someone else to take advantage of, he was looking for the wrong person.

After that, the second shopkeeper often invited him, not just invited him, to sit on the roadside and drink together. It seemed that he really regarded him as the kind of pauper who only had spare money when he returned to inherit the family business.

Liu Xu didn't lie. Except for practicing swordsmanship, he didn't pay attention to anything else.

The family was worried that he would need immortal money to refine his sword in a foreign land he was not familiar with, so they sent money to Chunbanzhai in Daoxuanshan every now and then. However, Liu Xu never went to get the money, and later he sent it directly. When they arrived at Sun Juyuan's house, Liu Xu still pretended not to know, so Sun Juyuan greeted him and said that your family had saved money at the house, but Liu Xu said that it was not needed and just keep saving it.

Until the end, Liu Xu left the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Liu Xu did not take away a single fairy coin from Chunfanzhai and Sun Juyuan's private residence.

The reason why Liu Xu went there to cheer for the wine shop as soon as it opened was that he hoped to have a taste of his hometown wine there. As for the result, it's hard to describe.

There are ten people in a gambling bureau, eight shills, and one is Chen Ping'an, who is the banker. Only one of them is still complaining about his bad luck, and he will definitely make a lot of money next time.

Since the wine table was open today, Fan Yu, the female Grandmaster of the Traveling Realm, filled a large bowl of wine and offered to toast Shanzhu Chen, who drank it all in one gulp.

It turns out that she was rescued once by Zheng Qian when she broke through at the Dadu battlefield in Aquarius Continent. To be precise, Fan Yu was grabbed by Zheng Qian's shoulders and fell directly out of the murderous encirclement.

Fan Yu later learned that the martial arts senior nicknamed "Zheng Qingming" was actually the founding disciple of Master Chen, whose real name was Pei Qian.

Now that he has become a master, Chen Pingan likes to hear other people say this the most.

After having enough wine and food, Liu Wuding talked the least and drank the most. The old Jianxiu was so drunk that he staggered without help.

Yuan Xuan knew full well that this was because Grandpa Liu had practiced swordsmanship in his life but had never been to the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Therefore, there were bowls of wine on the table today, and the old man drank back and forth, drinking the guilt that surged from his heart into the bowl.

His face turned red after drinking, not only because he was too drunk, but also because he was facing this young man from the Sword Qi Great Wall, the last hidden official who was also a foreigner, the old man felt guilty and blushed.

There are so many things in the world, you can't help yourself when you drink, and you can't help yourself when it comes to difficulties and embarrassments.

Earlier at the wine table, the old man said that he wanted to toast Chen Yinguan. Chen Pingan smiled and said no. Instead, he called himself a junior and offered the old man a bowl of wine.

After that, the old man drank alone and became more and more silent.

Liu Xu raised his elbow and lightly tapped Chen Ping'an beside him, indicating that you should comfort Lao Liu with a few words. "Second shopkeeper, you are the best at this. See if you can help him untie his knot."

Back then, in that small wine shop, the second shopkeeper would come right out of his mouth and brag without making any drafts. All the people squatting and drinking on the street liked to listen to the second shopkeeper's story without paying any money.

Chen Ping'an shook his head, why bother adding salt to the old Jianxiu's wounds.

Besides, if you haven’t been to the Sword Qi Great Wall, you haven’t been. I don’t care about heaven or earth, and I don’t care what your reasons and difficulties are.

So at the wine table earlier, it didn’t matter if you wanted to give a toast to Master Chen Shanzhu, or simply call him Chen Ping’an by name. I was a junior on the mountain, so I would definitely drink it, and I would definitely drink it in return. bowl.

But since you, Liu Wuding, are called Yin Guan, and you are a swordsman from Luzhou, Beiju, I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with you.

Liu Xu said in his heart: "Mirage, do you know? Several qi practitioners followed me to the wine shop and had a drink. They were obviously not from the sword cultivating sect, and none of them had sect names, but they died at the Great Wall of Sword Qi. He has many direct disciples. Liu Dingwu was once the direct disciple of Mirage, and he almost became the master. However, he was expelled from the master because he had a fight with Haishi Wenjian and injured many swordsmen there. Otherwise, if nothing unexpected happened when he reached the Golden Core level, he would soon have passed the Hanging Mountain to reach the Great Sword Qi Wall."

Liu Xu was silent for a moment, looked at the old man with a sad back in front of him, and continued: "Liu Wuding felt that he had repaid his kindness to the Yuan family. He had just resigned from the Sanlang Temple not long ago and planned to travel to the wild world alone, but Yuan Xuan didn't know about this yet, so Liu Wuding had no intention of telling him about it. Liu Wuding still doesn't know one thing. It was his master who did it deliberately and asked Haishi to cooperate in a play, hoping that he would do this. A good seedling can stay in Luzhou, Beiju, practice swordsmanship well, and one day reach the upper five realms. It doesn't matter whether he is a genealogical monk of the Mirage Sect. Because Liu Wuding's master knows very well that with this disciple's character and temperament, As a Jindan realm sword cultivator, and with the identity of the next leader of the Mirage Sect, when he arrives at the Sword Qi Great Wall, he is destined not to return home alive."

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, rubbed his face with his hands, nodded, walked to the old man's side, and said in his heart: "Senior Liu, there are two Qi practitioners from Luzhou in Beiju. The sword cultivator of the sect is named Yuhe, who is a sword cultivator in the Golden Core Realm. One is a direct disciple of the headmaster of the Mirage Sect, named Gao Jie, who is the master of Dengxian Peak. They often go to the shop to drink together. I was very happy at that time. It's strange how two disciples of a sect who clearly have a feud can drink together. One time when we were drinking together, I just listened to their chat. Yuhe said that what happened back then was that he was at fault first, and he was sorry for that Gao Jie As a result, he was expelled from the sect. The other one started to curse, saying that if you hadn't seen through his identity, Master Liu would have been our leader long ago, and we would have an additional Jade Pu Realm sword cultivator in Luzhou, Beiju. Ai Aizhou is going to be shorter than us again, you have no ability, you only have a broken mouth, I can't drink you to death... For today's drink, whoever is the bastard will pay the bill, the second shopkeeper will bring two more jugs of good wine."

The old man listened carefully, remained silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's all based on emotion, there is actually nothing right or wrong."

"Senior, if you feel really uncomfortable, how many times should I scold you? I'm very good at this. I can start with a hundred sentences without repeating them."

"..."

"Let's go, Old Sword Immortal Liu, let's have a drink alone."

Calling a Nascent Soul realm sword cultivator a sword immortal was just fine, but it turned out to be even more outrageous: Liu Lao Sword Immortal.

"There's more left."

"There goes and comes back."

"Then we'll make an agreement with Yin Guan!"

Strive for this.

Try to drink the remaining wine from this year in the coming year.

Liu Xu's trip to the south was just to have a drink with Chen Ping'an, nothing more. He had nothing to talk about. Isn't drinking with friends just business?

So after drinking, Liu Xu prepared to go to Old Dragon City alone. There was some mountain business there that he needed to discuss with the Fu family. As for Luo Luo Mountain, he wanted to go and see the situation.

Yuan Xuan and the other three, this trip was worthwhile. Of course, they can return home. They need to go to the Xianjia Inn recommended by Chen Ping'an and send a message from Feijian to the family to announce the good news.

Liu Wuding escorted Yuan Xuan back to Sanlang Temple, and then rushed to the wild world. Then he would go to the ruins of the Jianqi Great Wall.

Liu Xu followed them to stay at the inn. Yuan Xuan smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, Master Chen has really made you a friend."

Liu Xuxiao asked: "How?"

Yuan Xuan said: "I heard that that inn is famous for killing pigs and killing guests. It has a very average reputation in the mountain."

Liu Xu said: "It's hard to say whether you treat me as a friend or not. I guess Chen Ping'an gets a share of the dividends from that inn."

Fan Yu said: "That's not true."

Liu Xu said: "I don't think it's the case. That's because you are not familiar with Chen Ping'an yet."

Fan Yu became more and more strange. In this case, how could you become such good friends?

It's not like one person likes to kill acquaintances when doing business, and the other person likes to be taken advantage of because of the money.

Liu Xu said calmly: "I am a sword cultivator, money is nothing."

On a Xianjia ferry on its way back north, suddenly there were monks who claimed to be worshiped by the Dali Xingbu. They found a few of them and asked Bai Deng to go to the Dali capital immediately. They said that the Ministry of Rites in the capital asked Bai Deng to discuss the iron talisman. The river god fills the gap.

Bai Deng had gone out with the ghost Yinlu and Jinghao's direct disciple Gao Geng before, but he never thought that he would be the Tiefu River Water God when he came back.

Gao Geng and Yinlu both congratulated Bai Deng. The Dali Ministry of Rites said it was a discussion, but in fact it was nothing more than a discussion. It was not an obvious matter.

I came out of Luolu Mountain before, the sky was vast and the sky was high, and I felt so happy!

The few of them at least have the great freedom of "I can stop drinking if I want not to drink today"!

The foot of the great road of Jade Pujing Jianxiu Baideng belongs to the dragon family. He was born in the "old emperor's family" on the mountain in the past and was one of the land dragon palaces in the ancient Shu territory.

Although there were so many large and small dragon palaces on the sea and land in those days, and there were a lot of dragon sons and grandsons, the bloodlines of their descendants were very complicated, but not everyone could call them "real dragons".

Previously on the mountain, a few of them were summoned once for no apparent reason. They went to a small vassal country south of Dadu. It was a trivial matter. Gao Geng was extremely familiar with the customs, customs and officialdom of the world. The ghost was the lowest level. , there are many crooked ideas and bad ideas, and it is more than enough to be a dog-headed strategist. Coupled with Bai Deng's identity as a sword cultivator and Jade Pu realm, it can be said that the errand was handled flawlessly and beautifully.

Originally, Taoist Bai Deng was about to be crowned a high-ranking god in the continent, so he should have a drink to congratulate him. There were several kinds of immortal wine on the ferry, but the three of them had a tacit understanding not to mention it.

Gathered in Bai Deng's house, Gao Geng said from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Bai is the water god of the Tie Fu River. The only disadvantage is that he is deeply involved with Guo Zuo of the Song family in Da Li."

Yinlu smiled and said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime bargain, let's get it first. As for the Song family's luck, we will talk about it later."

Gao Geng said: "Unless."

Yinlu also said the word "unless" with a smile, and they both looked at each other and smiled.

Unless that Lord Chen Shan becomes the Great Li State Master.

Of course, if Bai Deng wants to successfully obtain canonization from the Dali imperial court and become an orthodox landscape deity, he still needs to follow a "spiritual path."

It's just like what Zhao Duanjin, the Minister of Rites, asked during the previous discussion in the Royal Study Room, if there will be any surprises on Bai Deng's journey to become the Water God.

Instead of asking "What is the possibility of success?", you know that Bai Deng's road to "becoming a god" is still very smooth as long as there are no major accidents.

This is the innate advantage of the dragon-like deity.

Reborn, molded into a golden body, built a temple, enjoyed the incense of the world, and finally successfully became a mountain and water god... It is the most difficult thing for a human Qi practitioner.

For Bai Deng, who saw the light of day again, because he had been drinking at the same table with someone, he no longer had the slightest idea to go to the White Emperor City in the Middle-earth Divine Continent to "leap over the dragon gate".

The next best thing is to become the righteous god of rivers and rivers enthroned by the Dali court. The first choice is the land of Dali's capital, and the second choice is the territory of Beiyue. The stronger the dragon's energy, the better. The rest are not considered.

As a result, Bai Deng's wish came true and his dream came true.

Pushan Fu Dechong, after returning to the Taoist temple from the capital of Dali, met a wandering Taoist priest who called himself Taoist name "Self-examination".

The young Taoist priest who only spoke the slogan but not his name entered the Weishan Temple, which is the mountain of the Prince of Zhongyue, but did not offer any incense. He just stood outside the main hall door, facing the golden statue in the hall, and shouted Pushan in his heart. The name of the mountain god means that the trail is encountering some difficulties, and I would like to ask the mountain god to meet and talk about it.

The sneaky Taoist priest who didn't dare to give his real name said that he came from a small sect where "from the Xiaodao generation up, there is only one master", but he admired Pushan very much, and he admired Pushan beyond measure. He wanted to discuss with God Fu Shan, so that he could "request" a Taoist book and worship it properly... Fu Dechong had just visited Dali Capital City, and he was already in a good mood. He saw that the young Taoist priest was talking nonsense, but he still had a few words. Fu Dechong... The words were funny, so he walked out of the golden body, and at the same time isolated a quiet world, so as not to make a fuss among the pilgrims who were offering incense in the hall. Fu Dechong didn't want to make a fuss for him, so he threw away a copy of "Huang Ting Jing" that even a layman could buy. 》Give it to the Taoist priest, but after all, it is an old collection of his own study, and it is indeed stained with some essence of incense.

Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest was ungrateful and ignorant. He only looked at the title of the book and began to complain that it was not a fairy book from the mountain. It was not worth a few dollars at all. He threw it back to Fu Shanshen. Not only that, the Taoist priest also took it from his heart. He took out a Taoist book from his pocket and said, "You, a mountain god, have become such a big official, but you are so stingy and disappointing. No matter how poor you are, you still know how to prepare a generous gift to visit..." After cursing, the young Taoist priest will He threw the book to Fu Dechong and left Pushan angrily, but with a bang, his head hit the incense-filled landscape barrier. Fu Dechong had no choice but to apologize with a smile to the Taoist priest, opened the barrier, and sent him out of the country as a gift.

As for the "Book of Taoism" that reciprocated with courtesy, Fu Dechong did not take over it, but just let it hover in the air. After the Taoist priest came down the mountain, Fu Dechong waved his sleeves and moved the book to the warehouse dedicated to miscellaneous books.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, his immediate boss, Dia Zishan Jinqing, appeared in the Pushan Hall with a livid face. He asked Fu Dechong if he had taken the wrong medicine and was going to rebel? !

Fu Dechong was at a loss. He had no idea why Jinshan Lord was so intimidated. Seeing Fu Shanshen's dumbfounded look, Jin Qing lightly stomped his feet on the blue bricks of the main hall, connecting with the roots of Pushan. After a moment, he became more and more... With a solemn expression, he asked: "Do you know that just now, the fate of the entire Diazi Mountain and the water transportation of the Yongjiang River seemed to be led by your Pushan?!"

Fu Dechong became more and more confused, shook his head and said: "My subordinates really don't know."

Jin Qing asked: "You didn't notice anything weird?"

Fu Dechong thought for a moment and said, "Just now, a foreign Taoist priest who called himself Taoist 'Self-examination' came here and asked me for a Taoist book to take back and worship. He thought the book I gave was not valuable, so he gave me a Taoist book instead. There is no book title on the cover, only the word "Sign", save yourself... I just think of it as the kind of Taoist priest who wants to come to my Pushan place and help him comment on the Taoist book he compiled. , so that we can become famous in the mountains.”

Jin Qing said in a deep voice: "Where is the book?!"

Fu Dechong said: "I just threw it into the warehouse."

Jin Qing asked: "God Fu Dashan, why don't I beg you to quickly bring that Taoist book over and let me have a look at it?"

Fu Dechong was a little embarrassed and moved the Taoist book back to the main hall again. Jin Qing didn't even dare to open the book casually. He still hung it in the air and looked at it intently. The cover of this Taoist book made of ordinary material only had the words "Ji Sheng" on it. "" two characters, but the upper character "ji" seems to be written in gold ink, this character is like a golden silk thread, and the lower character "province" seems to be written in green ink. Jin Qing held his breath and concentrated, put his fingers together, and lightly crossed the two words on the cover. Like a layman suddenly touching hot coals, Jin Qing quickly retracted his fingers and shook his sleeves vigorously. The Zhongyue Mountain Lord sneered, "Sure enough, it is. This book is causing trouble!"

It's just that in the entire Pushan realm, even the Beiyue realm, there is no trace of that Taoist priest.

Jin Qing glanced sideways at Fu Dashan, who had a dull look on his face, then focused his attention on the title of the book again and said, "Fu Dechong, try opening the book."

Fu Dechong nodded and carefully reached out to flip through the book. As a result, the Taoist book did not move at all. Even if Fu Dechong sat on the mountain next and used his magical power, he still could not open the book.

Jin Qing suddenly laughed and said: "What a 'Ji Chu' wooden chicken. The person the other party is teasing on purpose is you, the guy who keeps saying he admires him the most. The silk thread 'ji' is Ji, and the word 'province' that condenses water transport is Ji Chu." ! You Fu Dechong doesn’t know where the Ji Zhu Wood Chicken first came from. Who knows? Then Master Fu Dashan, tell me yourself, who gave you this Taoist book? "

Fu Dechong suddenly realized.

Have you really met Master Lu?

No wonder the other party didn't offer incense. Master Lu really wanted to offer three sticks of incense to the golden statue in the hall. Fu Dechong was afraid that the golden statue would fall to the other party.

Earlier when he was with Master Chen in the Great Li capital, why did Fu Dechong deliberately call Master Lu by his first name? Wasn't it because he was lucky and just in case.

Jin Qing said angrily: "Hurry up, I don't have time to read your jokes."

Fu Dechong whispered: "I beg the tiger to clear up some confusion."

Jin Qing laughed angrily and said, "Hurry up and say something nice to this Taoist book! The other party must still be listening."

Fu Dechong quickly took three steps back, bowed to the Taoist book and said, "Fu Dechong from Pushan, I sincerely welcome the Taoist book back to the mountain."

Sure enough, this Taoist book fell into Fu Dechong's hands.

Jin Qing smiled and said: "It makes people envious and greedy."

Fu Dechong smiled awkwardly.

Jinqingshudi Mountain Range, returning to the Zishan Temple, and sure enough, the vision of heaven and earth at the Zhongyue boundary has dissipated.

Fu Dechong was filled with emotion. The relationship between Master Lu and Mr. Chen was indeed not that good.

The mountain god raised his sleeves vigorously. The Taoist book given by Master Lu was really heavy.

In the entire mountain god hall, only the mountain god Fu Dechong himself didn't know. Behind the statue, there was actually a Taoist priest who had gone and returned. Following the crowded flow of people, he slowly moved forward. The young Taoist priest clenched his hands in front of him and said: While walking, I swayed and murmured something, hoping that the mountain god would bless everything going well and safely on the trail.

After Lu Chen quietly left Pushan, he went to the stone monument on the border of Zhengyang Mountain. Before going to Qingming Tianxia, ​​he also went to the heart of a female cultivator in Beiju Luzhou to sleepwalk.

Lu Chen picked up the nightmare, which had a decent level of cultivation, and put it in his sleeve. Only then did he soar into the sky and truly return to Bai Yujing.

In Nanhua City, Lu Chen sat in the dojo, raised his arms, held the Taoist crown above his head with both hands, and took a deep breath.

Lu Chen didn't even dare to separate a piece of his mind, or the kind of yin spirit that left the body, but used his true body to walk through the void and start a real journey against the current.

In the middle of Tongye Island, at the Yulin Ferry outside the capital city of Yunyan State, on both sides of the ferry, there are high-rise buildings and wealthy private residences with bright lights and entertainment on one side, and on the other side there are small restaurants that are actually not very good and cheap.

As the night falls, the number of guests on the river bank is getting thinner and the restaurants are closing one after another. On the opposite side, the lights are getting brighter and the traffic is busy.

A sword fairy in white and an old man in yellow sat opposite each other and ordered a few special snacks and barley wine. The latter asked with a smile: "Are all the rich people in the world night owls?"

Mi Yu, who rarely left the ferry, smiled and said: "I'm not from here, and I don't have much money in my pocket. Otherwise, I would invite my young Taoist friends to drink wine on the other side."

The young Taoist smiled and said: "What's the point of drinking flower wine? Drinking and drinking is just for money. I admire those poor scholars in the book who came to Beijing to take the exam. They only rely on their mouths to deceive people."

Miyu laughed it off.

It's strange to say that in my hometown, I always thought about women, but here, I don't seem to have any ideas at all.

Are you really old?

Or is it really what Chef Zhu said?

A book with simple words, smooth stories, and a few witty words is enough to make people feel thunderous.

If there are so many articles, they are all like flowers and brocades. If they are piled up blindly, they will be far inferior to the taste of a plate of pickles and porridge. The same goes for women.

Mi Yu and Taoist Nen drank this meal until dawn.

Of course the restaurant owner was concerned about money, so after getting a few snow coins, he went back to sleep. Anyway, even those two customers wouldn't be worth a fairy coin if they demolished the shop.

During this period, Taoist Master Nen also went to the kitchen to work as a cook and cooked several dishes for Mi Da Jianxian to accompany the wine.

In the early morning of this day, Li Huai took the fox charm named Wei Taizhen wearing a power fence to the gate of Luolu Mountain.

Because Li Huai wanted to travel to the wild world, he had already asked for leave from Cliff Academy, and the mountain chief approved it.

Mainly thinking about the old blind man who still doesn't even know his surname or first name. He is still on the other side of Shiwanda Mountain, all alone. Although he became a master and disciple in a daze, when he thinks of the old man staying there alone, Li Huai It was quite unpleasant, and I wanted to go over there and see the old man.

So this time Li Huai was called to Luopo Mountain by Chen Ping'an just because he wanted to say it face to face.

No matter who he is with or what his relationship is, as long as he is close to someone, Li Huai will try to say goodbye to him.

There is nothing up and down the mountain, the distance is long or short, the time is long or short, after all it is a separation.

Now the gatekeeper of Luopo Mountain is a young and strange Taoist priest.

Suddenly, a white-haired boy appeared, claiming to be the genealogist of Luopo Mountain, Master Yinguan's loyal confidant on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and the number one general under Shanzhu Chen...

Wei Taizhen beside Li Huai didn't dare to look up at the mountain gate archway.

Regardless of whether they are from the wild world or not, they are members of the monster clan. When they hear the title of "hidden official", they are inevitably frightened.

What's more, Wei Taizhen is standing at the foot of Luo Luo Mountain.

Her father, the old fox who used to pretend to be a landowner in Baojing Mountain, met Wei Taizhen last time. By collecting landscape reports and some clues from the past, the old fox followed the clues and found out about the man who almost became his son-in-law. This guy turned out to be the current Master Chen of Luoluo Mountain in Aquarius Continent. The old fox was so angry that he beat his chest and beat his feet. He was so angry that he almost burst into smoke. "That bastard named Yang misled me. Damn it, wait until I reach a higher level in the future." , when you become the mountain god, you have to slap him to death! What a great marriage. Just because this guy interfered with it, it slipped away under your nose. I also blame you for not listening to dad's advice back then. Forget it. Forget it, Master Chen Shanzhu, Chen Dajianxian, such a big man, we, a small family, cannot reach such a high level, and you are indeed not worthy of it. Alas, that's not right, marriage between men and women is not necessarily, There are so many novels about talented people and beautiful women, which one of the men and women is a good match for their status?"

Thinking of this, Wei Taizhen had a headache, so she glanced at the scholar next to her through the power fence gauze.

When he heard that the fox demon was in the Nascent Soul Realm, the white-haired boy was obviously not interested when he took up the pen to record it, but at least it was in the middle fifth realm, which was slightly better than the upper fifth realm.

Asked again about Li Huai's level, after hearing that he was neither a qigong practitioner nor a martial artist, the white-haired boy suddenly smiled from ear to ear, as if he had just hit good luck after just a few steps out of the door!

Of course the white-haired boy recognized Li Huai.

Wei Taizhen plucked up his courage and said timidly: "Master Konghou, my young master is a wise man in the academy."

The white-haired boy put away his pen and paper, put his hands on his hips, and said with a grin: "I've had a good winter, sage, you are amazing, you are young and promising!"

Li Huai wished he could dig a hole and go down on the spot.

Li Huai quickly changed the subject, "Is Pei Qian back?"

The white-haired boy led Li Huai to sit at the table, "No, that little Heitan named Pei is still busy with big things in Tongyezhou."

Of course, today's Pei Qian is no longer Xiao Heitan. The white-haired boy is more depressed about this. Why don't we all act like short winter melons? We have to jump up.

Li Huai asked: "Where is Uncle Zheng?"

The white-haired boy sat cross-legged and ate melon seeds to himself. "I have been idle all day, so I went to chat with the old cook again. It was called a discussion of knowledge, but in fact it was just two bachelors talking obscenely there. There are bulges here and there, and I have no ears to hear them.”

With the kid in green clothes, I watched so many scenes of "Flowers in the Mirror" every day, and I couldn't bear to throw away a few fairy coins... But the family's scandal should not be made public, and the white-haired boy had no shame to talk about it.

Li Huai was born and raised in the small town, so it was actually okay to hear these contents.

But the fox charm next to him was so embarrassed.

Jiang Shangzhen did not follow him back to Luolu Mountain. Instead, he went to Changchun Palace first, and then asked Wei Shanjun to help him drag him back to Niujiao Mountain Ferry.

We just returned to Luopo Mountain, and before we reached the old cook's house, we noticed a slender woman wearing a snow-white robe standing on the road.

Jiang Shangzhen smiled and clasped his fists, "The Palm of Longevity."

Changsheng nodded and smiled: "I've met Chief Zhou."

Jiang Shangzhen asked: "What is the law of longevity?"

Changsheng said: "I happened to be passing by."

Jiang Shangzhen nodded.

I don't want to talk to her anymore.

In her desolate mountain, I am afraid that except for the mountain owner, everyone is more or less afraid of her.

She suddenly smiled and said: "Chief Zhou, I heard that you described me in two sentences. One sentence is, 'In our Luolu Mountain, I, Mr. Zhou, like the most long-lived Taoist friend', and the second sentence is, 'Palm. Sister Lu narrowed her eyes and smiled, making the man's heart tremble? I never thought that in Chief Zhou's heart, I would be so beautiful and rated so highly, I am really flattered."

Jiang Shangzhen's scalp was numb, and he knew something was wrong, so he immediately clarified: "Fellow Taoist Changshou, it's just a joke at the wine table, it can't be taken seriously!"

Brother Jia has a tight mouth and will not let this kind of thing get out. It must be Chen Lingjun who is the talkative uncle.

The route of wealth circulation in the world is the road to wealth. It may seem illusory, but in fact it is not. In the eyes of the monks on the mountain top, this road is real.

Otherwise, why would Master Chen Shan let one of his own masters of law sit in charge of Feng Yuan Ferry?

If she offends Sister Changshou, she only needs to visit the blessed land of Yunku. Even with Ni Yuanzhan's three-legged golden toad, which can help gather wealth and fortune, she probably won't be able to survive.

Although Changshou's appearance is not the kind of beauty that would captivate a country, but to be honest, the femininity of Changshou's sister is really... rare, rare.

Jiang Shangzhen has his own way of evaluating beauties in the world. He adds points and subtracts points in seven or eight categories, which is extremely rigorous.

One hundred coins, just talking about the beauty of Taoist Taoist Changshou, is about 80 coins, but if you add her unique charm, it is at least 95 coins!

However, Jiang Shangzhen knew very well that a woman like Taoist Fellow Changshou was destined not to be passionate about anyone.

Falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is ruthless. The wishful thinking of all men in the world is today's green mountains and sunset. They cannot be chased or kept.

At this point, Jiang Shangzhen had no choice but to use a trump card to keep his head.

In his Luolu Mountain, Jiang Shangzhen then used the method of isolating the world, "Do you know if the mountain master knows something?"

Changshou nodded: "I know that Young Master has known for a long time, but he must pretend that he doesn't know in some way."

The questions and answers from both sides were very convoluted.

This involves a very important secret matter, which can even be said to be the top priority between the upper and lower parties.

View the world.

Think of Lotus Flower Blessed Land as a world with a complete and orderly circulation of avenues.

For example, where did the first sword cultivator in the world come from and why did he become one?

The mountain master may not be able to grasp a clear context when he views the Tao in this way, but as long as it is achieved, the Tao will be of great benefit to Chen Ping'an.

This is similar to the time when Taoist Master Sun asked Fatty Yan to think about a question in Xuandu Temple: "Why are there only sword cultivators in the world?"

But no outsider can remind Chen Pingan about this matter. Let alone beating around the bush, not even saying a single word.

Otherwise, it would be like someone forcibly handing Chen Ping'an a bamboo basket and asking him to go to the river to fetch water for the moon. His work is destined to be in vain.

Therefore, Cui Dongshan could only worry on the sidelines, and did not dare to make any hints to his husband, so as not to add any unnecessary fuss.

Jiang Shangzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In that case, this is the best!"

Qingming Tianxia, ​​Xuandu Temple, received a Feijian letter from Bai Yujing.

The sender is Lu Chen, who has just returned to Qingming World, and the recipient is Bai Ye, who is practicing swordsmanship in Xuandu Temple.

Bai Ye read the secret letter, and then went to inform Jun Qian, who was currently a guest in the Taoist temple, that we would go back to Haoran Tianxia together. Your little junior brother, please go to Luo Po Mountain.

Moreover, Lu Chen said in the letter that Bai Yujing would not care about the two of them traveling far away this time, so there was no need to report it.

Liu Shiliu asked with a smile: "Junior brother just asked me to go, what are you going to do with me? Bai Yujing has kicked people out, do you think it would be more troublesome for you to stay here?"

Bai Ye said: "According to Lu Chen's explanation, it is an exchange with Haoran Tianxia. I will return home, and another sword cultivator named Xiaomo will come over here and let him be a guest of Mingyue Haocai, so that he can talk to that Guanzhu Uncle Master, reminiscing about old times. When I return to Qingming World, that sword cultivator will return to Haoran World."

Bai Ye's sword practice was actually very simple, especially after he reached the Jade Pu realm. In fact, it didn't take long for him to become an immortal.

There have been countless poems handed down from generation to generation, among which there is one sentence: The immortal caressed my head and tied my hair to receive immortality.

One day before, Bai Ye was looking at half a pond of green lotus flowers, and he suddenly realized that just for a moment in seclusion, with just one stick of incense, he would have visions of heaven and earth.

The hair grows and grows, and the immortal is floating on the top.

When he walked out of the room with the door open, Bai was already a swordsman.

However, Qi practitioners who have reached the Immortal Realm can change their true appearance, but Bai Ye did not do this, and still has the appearance of a young man.

Liu Shiliu glanced at the "young man's" tiger head hat and asked with a smile, "How do you say that?"

Bai also rubbed the hat on his head, "I seem to be used to wearing it."

Liu Shiliu said: "I have agreed beforehand that if you see my husband this time, you must not deny my husband's face in front of me."

"Not in person?"

"You have to give it too!"

Baidi City in Middle Earth.

"Two" Zheng Juzhong, who was both a monk in the Fourteenth Realm, stood side by side in a realm that looked like Taixu. He once drew a vast star map with his own hand.

In addition, he also built a replica of the Guanqianjian Palace in the middle. In the vast world, the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and the wild world, the natal flying swords of sword cultivators of all ages are densely packed and chaotic.

One person looks at the sky and the other looks at the sword diagram.

His master, Chen Qingliu, did not teach him swordsmanship to his founding disciple.

As for the other so-called direct disciples, their qualifications are insufficient. For example, the young disciple Liu Daochun and Chen Qingliu have no point in teaching him. They cannot learn his swordsmanship at all. Not to mention the spiritual similarity, it is difficult to achieve the level of physical similarity.

Zheng Juzhong didn't have any grudges about this, and had no grudges at all.

If the preacher does not teach this way, then how can the disciples not learn it on their own?

Qingming Tianxia is a small Taoist temple located in a remote area.

Because there is an old man and a young man who are related, they depend on each other in this Taoist temple. In the early years, they relied on money to open the way, and finally managed to get the identity of the resident Taoist priests. However, there was no genealogy, and because the young man was relatively lazy, the Taoist temple was cleaned every day. The old man helped the young man with matters concerning the courtyard, as well as with the morning bells and evening drums. The old man who was called Uncle Chang by the young man was nagging a lot, and the young man named Chen just ignored him.

In the night, I was reading with a lamp on, and the light was dim. An old man named Chang Geng was explaining in detail to the young man named Chen Cong. Enter.

After hearing Uncle Chang's explanation, the young man couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Chang, is this Confucian knowledge? Can you teach me this without violating any taboos?"

The old man nodded, picked up a peanut from the plate, threw it into his mouth and chewed it carefully, making a squeaking sound. The lamp on the table burned slowly, and the old man smiled and said: "This is from a treatise on heaven written by an old scholar. . As for whether it violates taboos or not, only you know and I know, no one knows when you leave the house, so what does it matter."

Chen Cong smiled and said: "Just a scholar? His fame is not great."

Uncle Chang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Who says it's not the case?"

Chen Cong asked curiously: "Uncle Chang, there are no outsiders here, tell me everything. Do you know him? Are they all the kind of poor scholars?"

Uncle Chang did not answer this question, but asked the young man to repeat the meaning of that sentence.

"Uncle Chang once said something about the wheel of a car, and the events of the ages are lost in the sound of books, then..."

With a smile on his face, the young man began to shake his head, "What does it mean for a gentleman to respect those who are in oneself but not to admire those who are in heaven? This is because the sun is advancing... Listen to me carefully..."

The old man pretended to be angry and glared: "I don't stand well during the day, and I don't sit well at night. I have told you so many times, sit upright..."

The young man is not afraid of this Uncle Chang. In the old man's eyes, every time he looks at him, there is the kind of love and gratification that his elders feel towards his younger generation. He is still the kind of younger generation who is very promising.

Maybe this is a day of nothing, family sitting around, and the lights being bright.
