Sword of Coming

The first day of spring.

It has the meaning of the beginning of all things and the rebirth of all things.

It is both the beginning of the fourth season and the first year of the year.

By the time Chen Ping'an returned from the Solar System Academy on the top of Suishan Mountain to the Demon Tower in Tongyezhou Town, the Holy Master and Chunyang Taoist were no longer there.

Xiao Mo, who was left with only the yellow hat, green shoes and green bamboo cane, stood in the corridor on the top floor accompanied by Qing Tong, who was wearing a green robe.

Chen Ping'an put the night tour behind his back again and prepared to go home. On this long trip, he left Xiandu Mountain with Xiao Mo, entered the Demon Suppressing Tower, and walked into Zou Zi's secret instructions and Qing Tong's own hands. The twelve illusory worlds were laid out, and then he traveled to dozens of landscape temples in the dream. At the Fenhe Temple in Mengliang Kingdom, he met Lu Chen again, and then together they climbed Mount Huangliang Sect... Compared with all my previous travels, the passage of time actually lasted a short time according to the real scale. However, if you count the journey of mountains and rivers in the twelve scrolls, plus the journey of your heart, it really feels like a lifetime ago.

Qing Tong saw the young hermit official who was in the dust, and hesitated to speak. Of course he wanted to participate in the celebration of the next sect on the Xiandu Mountain, but it was difficult to say it for a while. In fact, Qing Tong had already made up his mind, and he must embrace Xiandushan's thighs must not let Chen Ping'an run away like this tonight.

In Qingtong's view, it is no longer that important for a scholar who can beat the spring drum for the Literary Sage after thousands of years to be a close disciple of the Literary Sage.

Qingtong even speculated that as long as Chen Ping'an is willing and willing to work hard in this direction, he will be the deputy leader of the Confucian Temple in the future.

Chen Pingan looked at Qing Tong, who wanted to speak but stopped talking several times, and asked with a smile: "Senior Qing Tong, do you have something to say?"

Qing Tong smiled awkwardly and gave up a little.

The other party no longer calls him by his first name, and he is not even a fellow Taoist Qingtong. Haha, senior Qingtong may seem friendly, but in fact he is very different.

It was obvious that he wanted to burn bridges across the river and draw a clear line between himself and the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

In fact, after traveling far away with Chen Ping'an and spending a long time with this young hermit official who he once mistakenly thought was Zheng Juzhong of Baidi City, Qing Tong felt that he had some ability to know the subtleties, such as playing tricks, talking about Zen tricks, and observing people's emotions. I know the elegant meaning after hearing the string.

Xiao Mo couldn't stand Qing Tong's nagging and nagging, delaying his young master's journey, so he said bluntly: "Sir, Qing Tong wants to participate in the celebration of the next sect in Xiandu Mountain."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's a small thing, it's just a matter of attending the ceremony. Fellow Taoist Qingtong, don't think too much about it. I just feel that Xiandu Shandu didn't send out the invitation, which is inconsistent with the etiquette. I'm worried that I'm treating fellow Taoist Qingtong lightly."

Qing Tong coughed quickly and signaled Xiao Mo to finish what he said and stop being so sloppy.

My journey to the mountains and rivers has been hard work without any credit. You, Xiandu Mountain, should be given the title of "chief" no matter what.

Besides, it would be a big joke for a great monk in the Ascension Realm, let alone the host of half of Tongye Continent, to beg someone to be a sect worshiper and guest.

Xiao Mo said: "Qing Tong also wants to be the registered worshipper or guest of the Qingping Sword Sect. Just after chatting, he wanted me to help with a few words. I said that this may involve adding a seat for the ancestor of the lower sect. As for the important matter of the chair, I am just a name-dropper from Luo Luo Shan. Of course, it doesn’t count. Whether it succeeds or not has to be decided by the young master himself. Besides, we at Luo Luo Shan are not a one-man court, so it must be quite difficult."

Chen Pingan suddenly realized, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Qingtong, if you are willing to condescend to attend the ceremony, and then be a registered guest to worship the guest, of course Xiandu Mountain will be prosperous because of this, which is really a good thing that we can only hope for. But Xiaomo I really didn’t mean to deceive you. When it comes to the next matter, my student Cui Dongshan and I have already made an agreement. I almost never interfere and leave it all to Cui Dongshan. It’s really hard to make exceptions for anyone and break the rules. Besides, even if At the Shangzong Luopo Mountain, I held a meeting at the Patriarch Hall. I blamed myself for being unreliable. During the years I became the mountain master, because I was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper who never saw anyone, I was away from the mountain all the year round. Everyone had grievances. Well, they deliberately irritate me and contradict me about many things."

Xiao Mo immediately followed up, "So when I saw Qing Tong before, I didn't seem to believe it, so I gave a ready-made example. Cui Xianshi, the proud student of the young master at that time and now the first sect master of Xiandu Mountain, vouched for the recommendation of sect master Jiang Lao. Serving as the chief worshiper of Luo Luo Mountain didn't come with a lot of objections, and the process was quite tortuous. I heard from Protector Zhou that at that time in the Jise Peak Ancestral Hall, they all had a quarrel, and it was about to have a huge quarrel. It was not easy to become Luo Luo. Chief Mountain."

Qing Tong said with a straight face: "If you are really in trouble, just pretend I didn't mention it."

No matter how much you love me, I really don’t want to serve you anymore.

Chen Ping'an is smiling, and you are going against me. I really don't like you.

Xiao Mo reminded her from the bottom of her heart: "While the young master has just traveled far away, Qing Tong has emptied several rooms of his treasures that have been collected for many years. Judging from the situation, they are going to be used as celebration gifts."

Chen Ping'an glared at Xiaomo, "Why don't you tell me this kind of thing straight to the point?" Master Yin Guan immediately raised his voice and let out a long, drawn-out sigh, "How can Fellow Taoist Qing Tong still say such angry words? Don't do this. Just based on my friendship with Qing Tong, the term 'fellow Taoist' is simply a measure of concern for the three of us." It is said that one should build one's own body, both in public and private matters, in matters of emotion and reason, Xiaomo and I should strongly recommend one or two to get you a chair in the Qingpingfeng Ancestral Hall!"

Qing Tong nodded.

He seems to be still angry.

Before leaving the Demon Suppressing Building, Chen Ping'an suddenly smiled and said: "Qing Tong, let's not talk about anything else. I just talk about 'fellow Taoist'. I am a fellow Taoist friend. I am very sincere."

Qing Tong nodded and said: "I only believe this sentence."

Xiaomo glanced at his young master.

Chen Pingan nodded quietly, understanding.

This fellow Taoist Qingtong is different from the past, and he is not easy to deceive.

Afterwards, Chen Pingan took the lead in twisting the Three Mountain Talisman. Qing Tong was quite surprised, but remained calm.

Is it because he is in a hurry to return to Xiandu Mountain, or does it mean that Chen Ping'an no longer needs to consume merit when he uses this great talisman?

With the help of Shuchi Shanhe of the Three Mountain Talisman, he arrived at a mountain in a few blinks of an eye.

We are already in the realm of Qingping Sword Sect. Xiandu, Yunzheng, and Chumiao are three mountains standing side by side. It is a pattern of one master and two auxiliaries.

I am Cao Feng in the Miao Mountain, this is the retreat place of Cao Qinglang.

Including Yunzheng Mountain, the two mountains are still covered by the formation.

The three mountains were once the old mountain ruins of Tongyezhou. After Cui Dongshan's careful construction and repair, they have taken on a new look.

On the main peaks of the two mountains, steles were erected on the tops of the mountains respectively, which were inscribed by Cui Dongshan himself, saying "I cannot come out" and "Purple Qi of Heaven and Earth".

Chen Ping'an, who carries a sword in a green shirt, Xiao Mo, who wears a yellow hat, green shoes and a green bamboo cane, and Qing Tong, who is dressed in a green robe and has a handsome appearance.

There are green bamboo forests in the mountains. The wind shakes the bamboo forest, and the whole mountain is full of rhythm. There is a quiet stream below, and its sound is loud and soft at times.

The three of them were walking along the water, and the stream among the bamboo forests was gurgling. There were rocks above the water, and there were clumps of cattails, which were green and lovely.

There are many small pools formed by concave rocks in the water. The water in the pool is particularly clear and deep, and there are many fish swimming up and down.

There are many bamboo bushes on both sides of the stream. Under the bamboo bushes, the rocks are clustered together like teeth, reflecting in the water, like cattle and horses drinking in the stream.

Chen Ping'an introduced with a smile: "The main peak of Yunzheng Mountain elsewhere, Wucao Peak, will be the dojo of Cui Dongshan, the sect leader of the lower sect. He also serves as the first mountain master of Yunzheng Mountain. In addition to the abbot, he will For a specific matter, a wide range of disciples will be recruited. Taoist tactics, swordsmanship, boxing, talismans, alchemy, formations, economic methods, etc. will be divided into categories and each will accept disciples. After today's daytime ceremony, the first Qing Dynasty During Pingfeng’s discussion, Cui Dongshan will also propose that among the young genealogy monks who will become the Qingping Sword Sect in the future, the first swordsman to reach the Jade Pu realm can become the master of Wucao Peak and serve as the second mountain master.”

"And the Jingxing Peak under our feet, not the entire Cimu Mountain, will be temporarily handed over to Cao Qinglang, who is in retreat here to form elixirs, because Cao Qinglang is the first Taoist cultivator at Jingxing Peak, and he will also There is no doubt that he will be the next sect leader. Both the upper and lower sects have known this for a long time. Then Qingping Sword Sect has another tradition, which is an unwritten rule. Starting from the sect leader Cao Qinglang, the third sect leader and all the next sect leaders will be the peak masters of Jingxing Peak. In this regard, we obviously learned from the Jiuyi Peak of the Jade Gui Sect."

"Since the name of the sect is Qingping Sword Sect, of course it is based on swordsmanship. As the ancestral mountain, Xiandu Mountain is the place where future sword cultivators will settle. Yunzheng Mountain may be responsible for hosting pure martial artists, except Cui In Dongshan, the lower sect also has Mr. Zhong and Sui Youyou from Banxian Peak. In addition, we have a very good relationship with Pushan, so it is not a big problem to teach boxing. On the side of Qimiao Mountain, there are hundreds of qi practitioners from various schools. There will be some."

In fact, Qing Tong was not very interested in these sect affairs. When he heard Chen Ping'an talking about it, it fell into his ears and flowed away slowly like a stream, not in his mind.

However, when it comes to a sect’s successor candidates and hereditary secret methods, it is not a trivial matter in any mountaintop fairy house. It’s just that at this moment, Chen Ping’an is calm and a little light. In fact, it has a certain influence on the future genealogy of Qingping Sword Sect. For monks, it may be countless love and hatred, and the ups and downs of people's hearts. Therefore, Chen Ping'an did not regard his fellow students as outsiders.

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "Friend Qingtong, I have heard about many things for the first time, so don't be so absent-minded."

Qing Tong looked helpless, but he said something hidden: "I can't take out a booklet and write down these words one by one. "

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "I built a dojo at the foot of Xiandu Mountain, in a place just named Luobaotan. I believe that in the future I will be worshiping with Qing Tong or visiting Qing Tong, and we will often talk to each other about old times. "

Qing Tong's face was stiff.

Chen Pingan asked abruptly: "In all these years, you haven't recruited a few disciples to teach Taoism or boxing?"

After all, Qing Tong is an Ascension Realm monk who is half as good as a warrior in the End of the Realm. Moreover, with Qing Tong's temperament of frequenting Lotus Flower Land, at first glance he doesn't seem to like someone who likes to live a too lonely life.

Qing Tong shook his head and said, "Never before."

The main reason is because he is responsible for controlling the Demon Tower and his responsibilities are too special. Qing Tong would not dare to accept disciples casually for fear that he would make himself smelly. Moreover, the old temple master of the East China Sea and the master of the Bixiao Cave also once said to him unceremoniously. I have beaten Qingtong and said that Qingtong is not the material to start a sect on his own.

Facts have proved that Qing Tong was really careful in sailing the boat for thousands of years. The disaster at Taiping Mountain is the best lesson for the future. The Demon Suppression Tower will most likely end up in a similar situation. Moreover, Qing Tong feels that once he has a founding disciple, he will definitely not be able to stop recruiting disciples. Just like the room after room of collections in the Demon Suppressing Building, Qing Tong never cares about appearance or rarity. , just looking at the situation, then the arrival of the closed disciples will definitely be far away.

Chen Ping'an said with emotion: "Fellow Taoist Qing Tong is really dedicated to seeking the truth, which makes others feel ashamed."

Qing Tong hesitated to speak again.

Because the reason why he shamelessly got involved with Xiandu Mountain is that now that the world situation has changed, Qing Tong's thoughts have changed accordingly, and he really wants to get Dangdang, the first generation ancestor of a certain sect.

Chen Ping'an seemed to have read through Qing Tong's thoughts and said: "I'll repay you with kindness. After I retreat, I will go on a long trip to Haoran with my friends. During this period, I will pass by the Middle Earth Divine Continent. I will grab my husband at the Confucian Temple to help you with a few words." If you say that, see if you can be allowed to open a sect somewhere in the middle of Tongye Continent, near the Demon Suppression Tower, and try to allow the local demon monks here in Tongye Continent to join your sect, and save them from being in trouble all year round. , Taoism is distracted, and there is no intention to practice at all. As time goes by, this group of demon monks who have become resentful will pose some hidden dangers to Tongye Continent."

"Qingtong, you took the initiative to come to Qingping Sword Sect with us for selfish reasons. I brought you to Jingxing Peak for my own selfish reasons."

Qingtong asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Chen Ping'an walked on the path in the bamboo forest with his hands in his sleeves. "A person who is far-sighted and cautious can achieve great success. A person who is loyal, kind and honest can be entrusted with great things."

"In my opinion, the existence of fellow Taoist Qingtong can be completely ignored, leaving aside the Demon Suppression Tower. It is the fourth mountain besides our Qingping Sword Sect's Immortal Capital, Yunzheng, and Qianyou."

"Fellow Taoist Qing Tong may not be an outstanding first ancestor of the sect, but he will definitely be an extremely responsible and dedicated Taoist protector."

Xiao Mo was greatly surprised.

He said three words "ji" in one breath. Does Qingtong really deserve this evaluation?

My young master's words didn't even have any underlying meaning. He just put all the meaning on the table. He hoped that Qingtong could become the behind-the-scenes protector of Qingping Sword Sect, at least one of them.

Qing Tong was even more surprised, smiled bitterly, and laughed at himself: "Even if you say it sincerely, I don't believe it myself."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You can believe this, because I have come through this step by step."

"Fellow Taoist Qingtong, just rest assured and don't worry about falling into a trap of right and wrong. I will make an agreement with Cui Dongshan and the others in advance and promise not to involve you in any sect affairs because of your realm and identity, so you just need to As a half outsider, I should pay more attention to the development trend of Qingping Sword Sect year by year. As long as I feel something is wrong, even if I can't say what is wrong, I can contact Cui Dongshan or the second sect leader in the future. Cao Qinglang took the initiative and put it forward without worrying about whether his views were right or wrong."

Qing Tong nodded, "I can only promise that I will do my best. I don't make any other promises."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Then it's a deal."

The group of people walked to the top of Jingxing Peak. The sky was clear and clear, the mountains were green and the moon was white. They looked around and felt relaxed and happy.

Because of Lu Chen's evaluation, which described the inscription as "some kind of immortal transformation" that has lost its form, Chen Ping'an looked at the stone tablet a few more times this time.

A young man in a Confucian shirt quickly walked out of the stone room, bowed and said, "Sir, I am a stranger to you, senior."

As expected by Lu Chen, the golden elixir that Cao Qinglang formed was between the first and second grades.

To become a first-grade elixir is to qualify for ascension, such as Wei She from Ai Aizhou in his early years, and Yao Qing from Qing Mingtianxia. But in fact, many of the great monks who stand on the top of the world today are mostly second-grade alchemy masters.

Chen Pingan smiled happily and said: "The elixir is above the second level, which is great. It is much better than the elixir that Mr. made back then."

Then Chen Ping'an began to introduce Qing Tong beside him, "This fellow Taoist, whose Tao name is 'Qing Tong', is a local monk in Tongye Continent and is in the Ascension Realm. Because the Tao name and the name of our Qingping Sword Sect both contain a The word 'Qing', fellow Daoist Qing thinks it is a rare fate, and he has been invited by me several times, so he will be the registered enshrinement of the Qingping Sword Sect."

Cao Qinglang bowed and saluted again, "Junior Cao Qinglang, I have met senior Qingtong."

Qing Tong nodded in greeting with a smile on his face and a small sneer in his heart. Lord Yin Guan really came with his mouth open.

Chen Ping'an said: "The realm and qualifications of fellow Daoist Qingtong are all clearly stated there. Just because Mi Yu is already the unofficial chief minister, fellow Taoist Qingtong can only take second place."

Qing Tong was speechless.

Is this the second place for worship?

Isn’t this just a statement?

Cao Qinglang smiled warmly and said: "After all, our Qingping Sword Sect is still a swordsmanship sect, so we can only wrong Senior Qingtong."

Qing Tong said with a smile: "It's not a grievance. It's an honor to be associated with the Qingping Sword Sect."

Don't dare to feel a little aggrieved.

What's more, Xiao Mo next to me, a perfect sword cultivator in the Ascension Realm, is not only a registered worshiper of Luolu Mountain, but he is not as good as himself, and he still doesn't have a second place.

A young man in white clothes with a mole between his eyebrows came flying in the wind. When his figure swayed and settled, his two snow-white sleeves made a sound, and he bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."

As soon as Cui Dongshan got up, a young woman with a bun and a little girl in black came to Jingxing Peak.

It turned out that after Cui Dongshan noticed the traces of his husband and his group, he knocked on the door and asked the senior sister Pei Qian to call Xiaomi Li, who was already staying up all night by the fire together in the house.

Xiao Mi Li was very excited and announced the good news: "Good Lord Mountain, Yu Mi has broken through. He is the well-deserved, justifiable and genuine Mi Great Sword Immortal!"

Chen Ping'an deliberately showed a look of surprise on his face and praised: "It's amazing."

Qingtong's heart moved slightly.

That Mi Lanyao of the Sword Qi Great Wall, the first chief priest of Xiandu Mountain, is actually an Immortal Realm sword cultivator? !

Chen Ping'an bent down and rubbed Xiao Mi Li's head, "Do you often guard the gate for Mi Da Sword Immortal?"

Xiaomi Li grinned and said, "Yeah, sometimes."

Xiaomi Li put his hand to his mouth and whispered to the good mountain master: "Yu Mi said, the process of retreat can be dangerous and dangerous, but whenever the Taoist heart is unstable, I often think of Master Yinguan's indiscretion on the battlefield. After being in chaos, my mind calmed down, and I finally broke through the situation by luck, so Yu Mi repeatedly told me that this time I was able to break the bottleneck and get out alive. In addition to my sincere thanks to Liu Zongzhu of Taihui Sword Sect, the remaining half of the credit is all thanks to It’s a gift from Master Yinguan, and it has nothing to do with his own cultivation, sword heart, or even a single copper coin.”

Chen Pingan laughed angrily and blurted out: "Fucking fart."

Xiaomi Li scratched his face.

Chen Ping'an immediately became friendly and said, "Don't worry about him for now, let's go back to Mixue Peak."

Qing Tong was silent.

As for the atmosphere in Luolu Mountain, because Chen Ping'an chose to stay at home while wandering around in a dream, Qing Tong has never been able to experience it personally.

However, Xiaomo's words and deeds have made Qingtong mentally prepared, but judging from the current situation, it seems that it is still not enough.

Chen Pingan helped introduce Qing Tong.

Then two more figures came from the ghost city in the Dayuan Dynasty, they were Zhong Kui and the ghost immortal Yu Jin who called himself Gusu. Chen Ping'an had to introduce Qing Tong's identity again, but Omitting the realm of Zhenyao Tower and Qingtong, it’s not that I can’t trust Zhong Kui, but that I can’t trust that greasy-looking fat man, an imperial hero who almost completed the feat of a continent and a country earlier than the Song family of Dali, history books The so-called "husband killed millions of heads with a white blade" is not a flattering word.

Zhong Kui glanced at Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan nodded.

Zhong Kui secretly gave a thumbs up.

Chen Pingan also gave Zhong Kui a thumbs up.

We meet each other in the heart, only in words.

Not bad either.

Because two friends are like one responsible for opening the road, and the other responsible for helping to protect the road.

Chen Ping'an also witnessed with his own eyes some of Zhong Kui's "invincible appearance" on the ghost path. It's not easy to open the way, but it's even harder to protect it.

Throughout the northwest boundary of Tongye Continent, Zhong Kui almost relied on himself. Using a spectacular method similar to Bai Ye's "sword transformation" in Fuyao Continent, he transformed his body into countless roads and helped countless ghosts. The Yin Spirit guides the way forward, while resisting the strong wind between heaven and earth, forcibly suppressing the immortal Qi practitioners and various landscape gods along the way, innately suppressing the lonely souls and wild ghosts, and escorting them into the gates leading to the underworld one by one. Inside the gate, that is definitely a feat that even the Ascension Realm monks cannot accomplish. At the same time, Zhong Kui also personally took a trip to the underworld. Without the need for him to meet the respected "lord" of Fengdu, he directly issued decrees one after another, strictly ordering the underworld's subordinates, ghost servants and numerous ox-headed horse faces on the road. , and no one who enters the country can be flogged without authorization. The key is that the entire Fengdu, which has a transcendent status and can even ignore the etiquette and rules of the Confucian Temple, Bai Yujing, and the Taoist decrees, seems to have no objections to this, which is tantamount to acquiescing to Zhong Kui's arrogance. Lift.

Therefore, in this late night when the old and the new are changing, it may be destined to be a sleepless night for the Taoist cultivators in Tongye Continent, the three Confucian academies, the emperors and generals of various countries, and the gods of mountains and rivers.

In fact, when Zhong Kui set out, he also took the fat man Yu Jin with him on a far journey, so that all the aura of heaven and earth in Yu Jin's body was exhausted.

For the ghost fairy Yu Jin, it was a unique way to protect the Tao.

When he returned to the dilapidated ghost town with no ghosts left, the fat man collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. He didn't feel much sense of accomplishment, and it was rare that he didn't complain to Zhong Kui.

An exhausted fat man lay on the ground and only said something from the bottom of his heart, a little self-deprecating: "I never thought that besides killing people, I would do such things in my life."

The fat man who was brought to Xiandu Mountain by Zhong Kui was still chattering on the way here, complaining that Zhong Kui didn't know how to care about people, even a donkey working like a mill, and he was exhausted to death after being used like this.

But when Yu Jin came to Jingxing Peak, he felt that the trip was worthwhile, and his eyes suddenly lit up because he saw the beautiful woman in a green robe.

The fat man sincerely admired Chen Ping'an. Huang Ting, Ye Yunyun, and Her Majesty the Empress Daquan, whose relationship was unclear, were all great beauties.

It's too shameful to mess around with women.

While Chen Ping'an and Zhong Kui were chatting there, the fat man walked towards the fairy sister, "The young man's surname is Yu and his first name is Gusu. He and Master Chen are close friends. I don't know that the girl besides her Taoist name is Qingtong." "What's your surname? Where is your ancestral home? Where do you live now? There is a mountain top of Shimen Mountain. Xiaosheng likes to travel in mountains and rivers the most. I am willing to go down the mountain with Sister Qingtong after the ceremony and meet the elders by the way."

Qing Tong was actually reluctant to deal with this ghost fairy.

Because Yu Jin had followed Zhong Kui around Tongye Island before, Qing Tong had glanced at the master and servant a few times and knew Yu Jin very well.

As for being mistaken for a female cultivator by this fat man, Qingtong didn't have any grudges.

Yu Jin smiled and said: "I am not a talented young man, but I happen to have some understanding of poetry. For example, when I saw a girl, she was as beautiful as a scroll, just like a lady standing in the shade of paulownia. In the bright moon, there was a wind blowing across the parasol. The phrase "leaves are green and cool" was spoken with emotion... I am afraid of scaring the girl when I say it. I will tell you the truth. Xiaosheng is actually a ghost, but girls should not be sad about it. When Xiaosheng was alive, he once wrote tens of thousands of poems, but now he has changed his mind. , turning to the rest of the poem. When I look at the girl's elegance, I can tell that she is a forest figure who is good at this. For example, Xiaosheng's recent lyrics include the melting moon, the light wind, and the catkins next to the pear blossoms. I just always feel that this side in this sentence is The meaning of the word is still unfinished, it seems that it is difficult to call it the best, does the girl think so? If it is changed to the word "Fu", the breeze blows on the face, will it be better? If it is changed to the word "support", will it have the longest aftertaste? "

Qing Tong was so annoyed that he could only sneer in his heart: "Yu Jin, I have read some of your nasty limericks. When it comes to plotting to usurp the throne and leading troops to fight, you are the best person in the world. But When it comes to writing poetry and lyrics, you don’t seem to be even a low-ranking person.”

Yu Jin's eyes were sad, and he glanced sideways at Chen Ping'an, and said angrily: "This person really has a close friendship with Miss Qingtong, and he talks about everything."

Cui Dongshan asked: "Sir, why don't you go to Mixue Peak to rest first, and then I'll ask Xiao Mili to inform you half an hour before the celebration?"

Xiaomi Li took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and tightened his grip on the hiking pole and golden pole. He had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I just need to take a nap and relax for a while."

Cui Dongshan said: "Then let me and my husband talk about something while going down the mountain?"

After that, Cao Qinglang and the others returned to their residence at Mi Xuefeng in Xiandu Mountain.

Xiaomo returned to Luobaotan at the foot of the mountain alone, and Pei Qian would arrange for Qingtong to live there.

However, Chen Pingan left the millet grains and walked with Cui Dongshan down the mountain to Jingxing Peak.

Cui Dongshan does have a few things that he needs to discuss with his husband.

The first thing is whether to dig out a new road in the middle of Tongye Continent.

This was also the case at the old general Yao Zhen's house and at the Pushan Yuncaotang.

Unlike Aquarius Continent, Tongye Continent has an old path in its history. However, as time has passed, it has been cut into pieces by dynasties, various small country cities, and fairy mansions along the central part of the continent. It is of little significance to repair the old road as before. , the old is not as good as the new. Fortunately, there is a ready-made successful example that can be copied and applied, that is, the Qidu crossing of Aquarius Island. Moreover, the difficulty of digging this great crossing in the past was far greater than that of the old crossing of Tongyezhou.

Otherwise, even if Chen Pingan and Xiandu Shan Qingping Sword Sect are one of the initiators and the real leaders, they will inevitably have to quarrel a few times, and many fundamental differences will inevitably arise.

In addition, how many Grain Rain coins are needed to build a large road depends on how big the stall will be in the new road that has not yet been named.

The Daquan Dynasty has obviously been planning this for a long time, and now has a rough prototype of the Dadu Riverbed. However, in Cui Dongshan's eyes, there are too many things that need to be corrected, and it is not a trivial matter that only needs outsiders to check and fill in the gaps. .

Chen Ping'an heard the general outline and asked: "When you talked about this with the old general and the others earlier, did you talk about the candidates for several high-ranking water gods in Dadu?"

Because according to the rules of the Confucian Temple, together with Dadu, it is equivalent to allowing Tongye Sect to create three more high-ranking water gods out of thin air. Let's just talk about Gonghou Bo, at least three high-ranking water gods.

If we say that in addition to the leading Xiandu Mountain and Qingping Sword Sect, the Yao family of the Daquan Dynasty, Pushan, or the Taiping Mountain of Huangting are all the initiators.

So these forces sat down, closed the door, and divided up the three precious spots early on.

Or should we open the door as wide as possible, attract as many countries and immortal sects as possible, list the most suitable water god candidates, and actively give up one or even two of them?

In fact, it is quite a problem.

Some literati have bad habits that do not serve their purpose but only lead to bad things.

And it's not just being selfless that can make things happen.

Cui Dongshan blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Earlier, the students were in the old general's house, and everyone was talking about this matter around the fire. It was just because everyone at that time, what they saw in front of them, were all urgent, and they were more worried about whether this matter was feasible or not. , after all, it’s still unclear whether we can get off to a good start. My husband wasn’t here, so we didn’t and didn’t dare to talk so far.”

Chen Pingan glared.

Cui Dongshan obviously wants to make his husband work hard.

Cui Dongshan chuckled and said: "In the Daquan Dynasty, our Biyou Palace where the River Goddess is buried will definitely occupy one of the places of the Duke."

Chen Pingan said softly: "This matter depends on Liu Rou's own wishes."

The bigger problem is that Dadu should not be too straight, otherwise the water will surge into the sea and easily take away the vitality of mountains and rivers in a continent. Ordinary dynasties and kingdoms along the way and fairy mansions on the mountains will not be able to retain them. Therefore, whenever the Dadu River is straight, , just countless complaints.

However, a Dadu should not be too winding or winding, otherwise it will easily damage the destiny of a continent. At the same time, this means that cities and cultivated fields in many countries will inevitably be submerged by the water of Dadu, just because of the relocation of people along the way. One incident is likely to involve millions or even tens of millions of people. Therefore, whenever Dadu makes twists and turns, it will attract countless criticisms. In addition, together with Dadu, in addition to the excavation of the river bed, it involves the diversion of a large number of rivers. Many mountains in the plains, especially in the basins, are very likely to become the old almanac, for the monarchs and courts of various countries who have just restored the country Generally speaking, they are all immediate and unmitigated huge losses, so the weighing of pros and cons here still involves all aspects and extremely complex conflicts of interest.

In Aquarius Continent, Da Li is one country, and there is no need to care about the pros and cons of each country. In addition, Da Li officials are capable in government affairs, and no one dares to point fingers and hold back. How does Tongyezhou compare?

In the final analysis, there are two major problems, money and people's hearts.

Chen Ping'an looked helpless and said: "The easiest thing to do is to use the fairy money to buy the entire road that Dadu flows through."

If you want to save worry and effort, you have to spend a lot of money and use enough money to fill the big hole in people's hearts.

Xiaomi Li frowned and sighed: "How high and how big a mountain of money will we need to clear?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "There may be only one person with such financial resources, and that is Liu Caishen of Aai Aizhou."

Xiao Mili exclaimed: "That's too rich. It's a pity that I'm not familiar with Aaizhou Liu Caishen. When we met, we couldn't even talk to each other."

Cui Dongshan smiled and reached out to touch Xiaomi Li's head.

The little girl hurriedly bowed her head and shook her head. The big white goose was getting more and more presumptuous. Look, this person is so cowardly before he becomes the leader of the clan. When he becomes the leader of the clan, he will be great, great, not great.

Chen Ping'an said: "You represent Xiandu Mountain and are fully responsible for specific matters. I will only help take the lead, but don't feel wronged. First of all, I have to come out to the Confucian Temple and Academy. Secondly, I have made an appointment with Yang Zhi for you." Well, maybe Taoist Master Nen will come to Tongyezhou to help in the future. If you only talk about the cost of relocation, you can already save an astronomical amount of money. In addition, the Demon Suppressing Tower Qingtong will also help. Qingtong has served as the second minister of our Qingping Sword Sect, and he will definitely not sit idly by."

Cui Dongshan smiled and rubbed his hands, "That's enough, that's enough. I have to learn from you, sir, and accept it when it's good, and accept it when it's good."

Chen Ping'an said: "Is there anything else?"

Cui Dongshan told the truth. It turned out that he planned to relocate more old Wuyue and Xianfu ruins and take root in the sect's territory one after another.

Many of these old mountain ruins were useless in the hands of the new monarchs who restored the country, because many of the new Wuyue Mountain monarchs who were supported after the war were actually unwilling to open mansions on the dilapidated old sites. It was inevitable that they would feel that they were useless. It's a bit unlucky, and those dilapidated hills, not to mention the mountains that have been ruined by demon monks, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth have been plundered, are just big holes. It's really a headache for those tigers to open a house on the old hills. Later emperors and monarchs also had their own pragmatic considerations. They were not only greedy for power and seeking greatness, but also wanted to leave a name in history. After all, in the past dynasties, not everyone had the opportunity to enshrine a mountain. The threshold for monarchs who want to be ennobled has been extremely high since ancient times. , if the location of the mountain is changed, not only can the mountain be officially enshrined, but it can also help a country's luck, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, just like the new year's atmosphere in the city below the mountain.

As a result, Cui Dongshan's family fortune, which only includes the fairy money and not the piles of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, may be squandered by his lavish spending.

Therefore, the first sect leader of Qingping Sword Sect still has a sense of crying for poverty.

Our lower sect is really powerless to pay for the excavation of Dadu. We can recruit people. As for paying for it, we can only rely on my husband and the upper sect Luo Po Shan.

Chen Ping'an shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "I really have a good student, a proud disciple."

No wonder Cui Dongshan deliberately let Xiaomi Li walk between the two of them because he was worried about being beaten.

The third thing finally doesn’t involve money.

It turned out that it was the Jade Gui Sect who took the opportunity to establish a new sect in Luolu Mountain and took the initiative to show goodwill to Xiandu Mountain. He did not hesitate to let the new peak master of Jiuyi Peak, the young swordsman Qiu Zhi, come to Xiandu Mountain in person to attend the celebration.

Should the Qingping Sword Sect take advantage of the situation and form an alliance with the Yugui Sect? In fact, each has its own pros and cons.

Once the alliance is formally formed and the two parties conclude a mountain contract, it means that both parties have recognized the future one-continent mountain pattern of "South Yugui and North Qingping".

Even if Xiandu Mountain does not have such ambitions, at least Yu Guizong is willing to unilaterally admit the matter, which is a great deal of sincerity.

If the two sides form an alliance, the previous Peach Leaf Alliance will become a piece of waste paper.

But if the two sides do not sign an alliance, it will mean that the two sides have invisibly drawn a road, with Daquan Dynasty, Linghe River, etc. as the boundary, or in other words, Dadu in the future as the border, Qingping Jianzong and Yugui Zongjing Water does not interfere with rivers. If there is a dispute in the future, since there is no incest love, it can only be dealt with business affairs.

Chen Ping'an said: "You can decide on this matter yourself, I won't give you any opinions or suggestions."

Cui Dongshan was not surprised either. He pinched his chin with a sad look on his face.

Chen Ping'an didn't even bother to take a look, so who was he pretending to be?

The last thing Cui Dongshan wants to confirm with his husband is the trend in the next hundred years.

Perhaps only this matter is the most crucial and top priority for Cui Dongshan and Xiazong.

Chen Ping'an said: "I will first retreat for a period of time, return to the Yupu realm, and then travel around the world, including several continents I have never been to."

In Zhuhai Dongtian, opening a wine shop without charging rent was a personal promise from the Holy Master.

And because of something explained by Aunt Feng in the capital city of Dali, Chen Ping'an had to go to the Paradise of Hundreds of Flowers. As for being a guest in some blessed land, there is no need for that.

Cui Dongshan asked tentatively: "Sir, are you in retreat here at Mixue Peak?"

Chen Ping'an said: "I will return to Luopo Mountain and give the small Cave Heaven Dojo to Chai Wu and King Sun Chun's children."

Cui Dongshan stamped his foot and said, "Xiaomili, please give me a word of justice for my junior brother."

Xiaomi Li shook her head and laughed, "I want to go home too."

Cui Dongshan said sadly: "Why is our Xiandu Mountain not the home of the Right Protector?"

Xiao Mili thought for a while and gave her answer, "There is no need for me to patrol the mountains every day."

She is smart. Here in Xiandu Mountain, the so-called mountain patrol means that she finds something to do by herself.

In Luolu Mountain, it's different.

From the old cook, to Sister Nuanshu, to the Taoist priest Xianwei at the gate of the mountain, and to the Qilong Lane on the other side of the town, everyone felt that Xuanshan was not just messing around, she was a conscientious person who could do a good job. Although it is a small matter no bigger than a grain of rice, only Zhou Mili can do it.

When Cui Dongshan heard what Xiao Mili said, he knew that there was no room for mediation. If he dared to say anything, he would probably be scolded by his husband.

Chen Ping'an rubbed Xiao Mili's head and asked Cui Dongshan: "How are the specific positions arranged at the Ancestral Master Hall?"

Regarding the specific process arrangements for the next sect celebration, Chen Ping'an really didn't know in detail. Furthermore, different mountains have their own family laws and rituals.

Something too far away. Out of sight, out of reach, out of reach.

When something really good happens, it feels like a dream again.

That's why the previous sect establishment ceremony in Luolu Mountain seemed so careless and casual from beginning to end.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Sir, as the head of the sect, of course there is no need for the abbot to hold the incense ceremony. There is no need to offer incense."

After all, the portrait hanging in the middle of the lower sect's ancestral hall is Chen Ping'an himself, the head of the upper sect.

There is no reason to offer incense to oneself.

This is of course also because the establishment of Luo Luo Shan and Qing Ping Sword Sect, the Shang Sect and the Lower Sect, were too one after another.

At the beginning of the establishment of most of the lower sects in the world, it can be seen that the founder of the upper sect was not seen. There were only hanging statues and no living people.

Cui Dongshan continued: "For example, the long-lived Taoist friend who is the leader of Luopo Mountain, and our second steward Jia Lao Shenxian of Fengyuan Ferry, because they are both from the Shangzong, there are still some differences from the guests attending the ceremony. They will be like Behind the husband, before our members set aside the genealogy certificates, we should first offer incense in turn. As for the position of the two rows of seats in the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall, anyway, on the mountain, the left and right are different, and there is no fixed rule, so According to the rules when you were on the Great Wall of Sword Qi and going to Chunbanzhai, you should respect the left."

For example, in the Dali imperial court, officials respected the left and military officers respected the right. It's just that in the officialdom, promotion is called moving to the right, and demotion is called moving to the left, which is interesting.

"There is a row of upper sects on the left, and a row of lower sects on the right to show respect to the lower sects. Without the water source of the upper sect, how can there be rivers of the lower sect."

"But in the future, at Qingping Peak, if the upper and lower sects discuss matters together, the seats will have to be swapped. According to the general rules, in the lower sect's ancestral hall, except for you, sir, there will be permanent seats, and the rest will be the chairperson of the upper sect. Even the chief minister, Jiang Shangzhen, will not arrange fixed seats for them because they are not members of the Qingping Sword Sect’s Ancestral Hall.”

"Then there are Yao Xianzhi, Ye Yunyun and Huang Ting. This group of guests will first come to offer incense as guests of the ceremony. After our first meeting in the Ancestral Hall, after they each have the status of worshippers and guests, they will come for the first time. Officially, I re-enter the Qingpingfeng Ancestral Hall as a member of my family. Hey, walk out with the front foot, turn around and return with the back foot."

Cui Dongshan asked with a smile: "Sir, just ask, what are the arrangements for the location of the hanging statues in the ancestral hall of our lower sect?"

Chen Pingan said angrily: "Whoever is the leader of the next sect will have a headache."

Cui Dongshan took out some pieces of paper from his sleeves and said, "Sir, please take a look at these lists."

Three sheets of paper.

In fact, it's just a formality.

The whole genealogy members of the lower sect,

As well as the members of the Qingping Sword Sect’s Ancestral Hall, those who have seats in the Qingpingfeng Ancestral Hall, and the specific positions they will each hold in the Qingping Sword Sect.

Finally, there are the guests.

Chen Ping'an took it over and read it carefully. When he saw the two names on the last piece of paper, he wondered: "How come Liu Jubao and Yu Panshui are also on the list of spectators?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "For the excavation of Dadu, sir, I plan to involve the Liu family of Aaizhou and the Xuanmi Dynasty. People are stupid and have too much money to take advantage of them."

Chen Pingan frowned slightly.

Cui Dongshan immediately said seriously: "Sir, don't worry. When they come, they are only responsible for giving money in advance and dividing the accounts afterwards. They are not allowed to use the excavation of the Great Dam to secretly build puppet temples and immortal mansions on Tongyezhou. It's just that. For this kind of thing, signing a paper contract is actually of little use, but requires a kind of...gentleman's agreement."

At this point, Cui Dongshan began to move sideways, "The student has such a bad reputation and reputation, of course it won't work, it won't work anymore."

"So the gentleman has to take action himself!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and turned to wave to the proud student.

Unknowingly, the three of them had reached the foot of Miao Miao Mountain.

Chen Ping'an looked up at Xiandu Mountain, the lower sect of Luolu Mountain, and at the gate of Qingping Peak, the couplets presented by Wu Shuangjiang would be hung, a real treasure of the mountain.

Every word on the couplet is full of infinite charm and unity of spirit.

Before taking a break, Chen Pingan planned to go to Mixue Peak and meet Zhang Shanfeng first.

Zhang Shanfeng's senior brother, who refers to Yuan Lingdian of Xuanfeng, is actually a registered guest of his Luolu Mountain.

Cui Dongshan was left to do his own thing, and Xiao Mili continued to watch the New Year with Pei Qian. As a result, Chen Ping'an walked to the house alone. Yuan Lingdian said that his junior brother Zhang Shanfeng was breathing, so he had to give up.

Because he just planned to take a short rest, Chen Pingan did not go to Xiaodongtian Dojo. After all, there were many guests watching the ceremony on the mountain, all of whom were climbing mountains for the first time, such as the old master Liang Shuang, Yu Guizong and his party, and of course Pu Shanzhang Lu Tanrong.

The temporary resting place seemed to be specially prepared by Cui Dongshan for his junior brother Zhao Shuxia. The house was not big, so when he entered the courtyard, Chen Pingan chose a wing room.

Chen Ping'an just sat down cross-legged and was about to close his eyes and rest for a moment.

He found a little girl running on the road outside the door. After approaching the house, she began to walk on tiptoes, stood quietly, and then acted as a doorkeeper at the door, holding a green bamboo stick and a golden pole in her arms.

Chen Pingan stood up with a smile and walked towards the door.

In a house not far from Mi Xuefeng, Liu Jinglong looked at the sullen disciple and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Logically speaking, after Chen Ping'an returned to Xiandu Mountain, Bai Shou should take some reassurance and no longer have to worry about being beaten by Pei Qian for no reason.

Bai Shou's face was full of tangles, and he said dejectedly: "It's my fault that Bai Xuan has given me a huge problem."

Liu Jinglong didn't ask why.

Bai Shou asked: "Liu, do you think that when a person travels in the world, face is more important, or loyalty is more important?"

Liu Jinglong smiled and said: "Don't ask me, you can figure it out yourself."

Bai Shou scratched his head with both hands, feeling annoyed, "We are all surnamed Bai, why should we bother those surnamed Bai?"

It turned out to be Bai Xuan, who had a booklet in which he recorded many names. It was euphemistically called a hero's book, in which there were all tough-minded heroes.

Earlier, Bai Xuan asked Bai Shou if we two brothers should participate in the grand event together so that we can seek justice from someone in the future.

If he helped Bai Xuan hide the matter, Bai Shou always felt that paper could not cover the fire, and sooner or later, he would be beaten. None of the heroes and heroes whose names are written in the book can even think of running away.

But when it comes to snitching on Pei Qian, Bai Shou couldn't get over it. He seemed to be too ungrateful, which was not Bai Shou's usual style.

Don't tell the truth, I'm really afraid that Bai Xuan, that stupid young man, has secretly recorded his name in the book. When the matter is exposed, his crotch will be covered with yellow mud, which is either shit or shit.

This made Bai Shou hesitate, but in the end he felt that for the sake of safety, he told the matter to Liu, so that even if he was settled by Pei Qian in the future, he would have a witness.

Liu Jinglong heard about the secret incident and said with a smile: "It's not a problem. To untie the bell, you still need the person who tied it."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Shou was confused when he heard this, and said angrily: "You can't ask me to say anything to Pei Qian in a low voice. Don't even think about it! It's okay for a big man to be beaten a few times. If we fight in real terms, his skills are not as good as others. Even though it’s an honor to lose, do you still want me to take the initiative to surrender?! Let her eat her shit..."

Bai Shou quickly shut up.

Liu Jinglong said helplessly: "What I want is for you to find Chen Ping'an, and for you to find me as a witness, it would be better to ask Pei Qian's master."

Bai Shou fisted his palm, "Wonderful!"

Outside the door, there were two people standing, one big and one small.

Chen Pingan in green shirt, little girl in black.

Chen Pingan knocked on the door, smiled and crossed the threshold with millet grains.

This guy climbed over the wall and entered the yard without knocking. Bai Shou could no longer care about such a trivial matter. Anyway, the entire Mixue Peak was his brother's territory. After Bai Shou stood up, he laughed and said: "Chen Pingan, You have heard about it. From now on, when Bai Xuan is beaten up, you have to help me explain it to Pei Qian."

Chen Ping'an crossed the threshold and nodded with a smile, "Of course it's no problem."

At this moment, looking at his happy Baishou, he obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

millet grains,

I have silently written down two things.

A big thing is the hero book about Bai Xuan.

Another little thing is that the master of Pianran Peak, the Golden Elixir Sword Immortal Baishou, calls our good mountain master by his first name.

The big event in front of me involves the "grievances and grievances in the world." It's not good for me to be the one who informs Pei Qian'er.

But if someone accidentally let this little thing slip, it wouldn't be a big problem, right?

Liu Jinglong glanced at the millet grains, then shifted his gaze, and found that Chen Ping'an was really holding back his anger.

Liu Jinglong coughed,

Bai Shou was not stupid at all. He was startled and immediately put on a bright smile and said: "Xiaomili, please remember to help me with today's matter. The main purpose is to help Bai Xuan keep it a secret."

Xiaomi Li immediately said seriously: "I definitely don't know what the booklet is, I've never heard of it!"

Bai Shou felt that everything was safe, so he waved his hand, "Good brothers, sit down and chat, drink and drink."

Chen Pingan was about to take out a bottle of wine from his sleeve.

Liu Jinglong smiled and said: "I have already met Han Zhoujin in the Great Li capital city. Thanks to someone, I have benefited a lot. Miss Han is very polite to me."

Without saying anything, he took out two pots of Changchun wine that had been prepared for a long time.

Of course, two pots per person.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Sect Leader Liu would not be able to enjoy his drink to the fullest, Han Zhoujin said there were still a few more pots left.

Chen Ping'an shook his sleeves, stood up from the chair and said, "I want to see Zhang Shanfeng, so I won't chat with you for now."

Liu Jinglong said with confusion on his face: "I just came here and I'm leaving now. Why don't you have a drink?"

I saw the Master Chen, who was full of righteousness and said: "Which one of us is following the other, we will have this meal of wine. Wait until the celebration is over, and we will talk about it later, no matter how polite it is, 'don't say' will be fine."

After walking out of the house, Xiao Mili lowered his voice and asked softly: "Good Lord Mountain, has Sect Leader Liu been persuaded to drink again?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it's a matter of method. Liu Dajianxian has a good drinking capacity and is well-known. I can't envy him."

After that, Chen Ping'an knocked on the door of a house. The person who opened the door was Liang Shuang, a great master from Longhu Mountain, who was also an old man.

As for Ma Xuanhui, who lives in a wing on one side, he is a Taoist and often sleeps lightly before he truly attains Taoism.

The young female crown quickly walked out of her side room and looked at the three people chatting around the table in the main room. She had heard her master mention the real reason for the strange phenomenon in Tongyezhou before. Ma Xuanhui became even more awed when he met the man in blue shirt from his lower sect. The master sighed at that time, from now on you younger generation of monks will regard this man as a land god.

Just looking at the man in green shirt, and then at the little girl in black who was sitting on the same bench with him, sipping wine, especially when he raised his head and smiled with her and called her "Miss Ma, Ma Xuanhui". He nodded in greeting, smiled shyly, and quickly retreated into the house. For some reason, Ma Xuanhui felt a little afraid of him despite being such an approachable person.

After that, Chen Ping'an took the millet grains to the old Zhanglu's house where Pushan Yuncaotang stayed at Mixue Peak.

When Tan Rong saw Chen Ping'an, he smiled bitterly and clasped his fists, saying, "How disrespectful. It makes people laugh."

Chen Pingan clasped his fists in return and said apologetically: "In the Yuncaotang earlier, this junior did not intend to conceal his identity."

Tan Rong said: "Can I ask Mr. Chen for... several seals?"

The old monk wanted to say a seal, but he quickly changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

Chen Pingan nodded in agreement and asked Tan Zhanglu if he had any favorite seals. Tan Rong only said that it all depends on Mr. Chen's free expression.

On the Mixue Peak side, there is a relatively rare large mansion with a deep courtyard and winding verandahs. It is specially used to receive the monks of the sect's genealogy.

It had been idle at first, but when the Jade Gui Sect monks came to watch the ceremony, it came in handy.

During a night visit, Chen Ping'an met Wang Ji, the ancestral hall of the Yugui Sect, who was enshrined in the Yupu Realm.

There is also the master of Jiuyi Peak, a genius swordsman who can only be regarded as a child, Qiu Zhi.

As well as the direct disciples of Wei Ying, the contemporary leader of the Jade Gui Sect, there are two young Jindan realm sword cultivators, senior brother Wei Gusu and junior sister Wei Xianyou.

There is also an old man named Zhang Fenggu, Taoist name "Old Elephant", sitting in the main seat.

In addition, Jiang Heng, the "young master" of Yunku Blessed Land, and his party, as well as the Great Sword Immortal Xu Xie, who was an outsider of Yugui Sect, did not show up.

Regarding the old patriarch of the Yugui Sect, who is of the same generation as the old patriarch Xun Yuan, he is an immortal.

The old monk had his own reasons why Zhang Fengguzhi did not show up in the previous battle when the demon clan besieged Yu Guizong.

Because of his fundamental knowledge of this person, Qing Tong took the initiative to reveal the secret.

It is said that in the past, the largest dynasty in Tongye Island built an elephant house. Over time, each one had its own spirituality. Together with the monarch and the immortal master, all the elephants could perform the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. Only one old elephant still looked like an ancient person. The gift. Therefore, that dynasty had its masters paint paintings to commemorate the elephants. Most of them were large and charming, but this old elephant was completely different.

Chen Ping'an felt a little close to the child named Qiu Zhi at the first glance.

It's an eye-catching sight.

And Qiu Zhi, after seeing the famous Yin Guan with his own eyes, was almost the same. He was very different from the image of Yin Guan, Sword Immortal and Sect Master in his imagination.

Even if you don't feel domineering and don't show off your edge, even if you are a wise man, reserved, chatty, willing to be pleasant, and approachable, after all, it will be difficult to make Qiu Zhi sincerely feel like the young elder on the mountain in front of you. , seems to be on an equal footing with others all the time.

When Chen Pingan was chatting with Zhang Fenggu and Wang Ji, he couldn't help but look at Qiu Zhi.

Such an old child is already a Dragon Gate realm sword cultivator.

And it seems that Qiu Zhi has already touched the bottleneck of Longmen Realm, and will soon be the golden elixir.

Chen Pingan almost blurted out that he would go to Jade Guizong Jiuyifeng to attend the ceremony in the future.

Just thinking about the purpose of the other party's trip, Chen Ping'an had to forcibly hold back these words and only said something that seemed to be very polite, "There is a successor to Yu Guizong."

After saying goodbye and leaving, he found Yao Xianzhi with the millet grains. Chen Pingan asked softly: "Is the old general asleep?"

Yao Xianzhi nodded and said with helplessness on his face: "I finally fell asleep because grandpa finally had some idea about the excavation of Dadu. He originally planned to stay up until dawn, but grandpa is old after all and can't resist the sleepiness. "

Chen Ping'an chuckled softly and said: "When the old general wakes up in the morning, tell him that the construction of Tongyezhou will be settled by me and Xiandu Shan."

Yao Xianzhi's face was full of surprise, "Seriously?!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Is this something you can joke about?"

In the wing room opposite Yao Xianzhi's house, the lights were yellow, faintly shining through the window paper.

It was Li Xiling, the old minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was still reading at night.

The old man also has another identity. He is the uncle of the current Emperor Daquan.

Lao Shangshu once personally accompanied Cui Dongshan on a trip to the Northern Jin Dynasty. It was through this person's matchmaking that he bought an old mountain, which is today's Diao Miao Mountain.

The new king of the Northern Jin Dynasty was very courageous and only offered fifty grain rain coins. He also hinted that Master Cui would only need two hundred grain rain coins if he was willing to take over all the old Five Mountains.

This is not a sale, but is equivalent to giving it away for free.

It's just that for some transactions in the world, many times, it's really not just about money.

For example, if there is just a mountain where the Golden Elixir Earth Immortal sits, even if the price doubles or even quadruples, the Northern Jin Dynasty offers 800 grain rain coins to buy the five old mountains in a package.

It is estimated that everyone from the emperor himself to the government and the public would only feel that he was humiliating the Northern Jin Dynasty, or even provoking the Northern Jin Dynasty.

The old minister, who was reading a book at night and watching the New Year's Eve, had a profound family background, rich collections and fine connoisseurship. He was the most powerful son of the Daquan Dynasty. He was also recognized as a young prodigy and a talented man. Until he met Yao Xianzhi's aunt, he completely stopped. In order to marry her, because the Yao family of the border army abided by a family ancestral motto, they were unwilling and did not dare to marry a high-ranking family in the capital, and were worried about being jealous of the Daquan Li family, so they went through a lot of bumps and bumps. Fortunately, there was still love. People eventually get married.

However, as the Minister of Rites, Li Xiling, because his father was the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, now in Daquan Court, many things are not just close to His Majesty the Emperor. His disciples, former officials, vague party members, and the elders of the previous dynasty, most of them take refuge in Li Xiling Under the sect, there are also a group of young and middle-aged civil servants, as well as several generals from the border army. From the temple to the local government, there are generally three forces, which are intertwined. Since it was rare for a woman to become emperor in the Daquan Dynasty, the former maternal relative Yao became the current royal nobles, headed by Yao Xianzhi who is now the governor of the capital.

Chen Pingan asked Xiaomili to stay with Yao Xianzhi and went to knock on the door opposite. When he saw the old man coming out of the house, he bowed and said, "Chen Pingan, who is of the literary sage lineage, has met Li Shangshu."

Because Li Xiling went to Dafu Academy to study when he was young and studied under a gentleman in the academy, so he was not only a Confucian disciple in the broad sense, but also a disciple of the academy.

As a scholar who reads sages' books every day, Li Xiling must not show timidity no matter who he meets.

The old minister, who was still a little deliberately sullen at first, suddenly smiled and bowed quickly in return. However, when he stood up, the old man had slightly subdued his smile and said, "I can't afford it. I definitely can't afford this great gift from Mr. Chen."

There was no shortage of topics to talk to Li Xiling. After all, Chen Pingan was very familiar with the Daquan Dynasty, so he was pulled by the old minister to chat for a full hour before Chen Pingan was able to escape.

After that, Chen Ping'an took Xiaomi Li to Pei Qian's place and found that Cao Qinglang was also sitting by the brazier, and there was Mi Dajianxian who seemed to be waiting for him.

Xiaomi Li began to take out the melon seeds from the cotton cross-body bag, divided the melon seeds and ate the melon seeds!

Except for those who stayed in Luolu Mountain and Qilong Lane, Zheng Dafeng was in Colorful World. Chief Zhou and Wei Xian both went to the wild world.

Lu Baixiang, one of the four people who made the Lotus Flower Blessed Land Picture Scroll in the past, took Yuan Bao Yuanlai, his two direct disciples, and formed his own sect.

Among the nine sword immortal embryos brought back by Chen Ping'an from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting have already become apprentices to Yue in Luopo Mountain and traveled to other continents with the old sword cultivator.

Chen Lingjun and Guo Zhujiu, Chen Ping'an's current disciple, are still watching the opening ceremony of the Huangliang Sect on the Lou Mountain side of Aquarius Continent.

Unknowingly, time passed by, and thanks to Xiao Mili’s cotton satchel, he had a “rich family background”.

At dawn, it was bright outside.

There is a waning moon in the sky with a few stars, the spring mountain smoke is about to close, in the human world outside the mountains, the rooster cries out to retreat to the Maodian moon.

Chen Pingan stood up and said with a smile: "I'm going to take a rest."

About half an hour before the next sect celebration, the genealogical members of Luolu Mountain and Xiandu Mountain, as well as the guests attending the ceremony, began to arrive at the square outside the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall one after another.

In fact, the first group of people there were Xiaomi Li. They were still an hour away, but they had already arrived here. In addition to Xiao Mili, there were also Bai Xuan, Chai Wu, and Sun Chun Wang. They were a small mountain. Head.

Of course, there is also Jia Sheng, who is busy greeting people early in the morning.

Zhong Qiu will arrive at the square a little later than Jia Lao Shenxian.

When Mr. Zhong, who was about to serve as the accountant and God of Wealth of the next clan, arrived, Jia Sheng naturally stood behind Mr. Zhong and didn't say much.

More and more guests who came to Xiandu Mountain to watch the ceremony appeared in the square outside the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall.

However, some of these guests will soon change their identities.

Already standing in the square, there are three people from the Daquan Dynasty, the old general Yao Zhen, and the governor of Daquan Mirage City Yao Xianzhi. Li Xiling, Minister of Rites.

The girl from Taiping Mountain is crowned Huangting, and she is a swordsman in Yupu realm.

Next to Huang Ting, stood a person who returned to her hometown from the colorful world. The newly acquired mountain guard was enshrined in Fushan, with the Taoist name "Fushan".

A pair of masters and disciples came from the Iron Tree Mountain in the Middle Earth. As expected, the immortal, with the Taoist name "Longmen", led his disciples to talk about Yingzhou.

Next to the master and apprentice, there is Zheng Yougan, who is the direct disciple of Chen Pingan's senior brother Jun Qian.

Pushan Yuncaotang, the master of the mountain is Ye Yunyun, the eldest disciple is Xue Huai, and the master of Pushan is Tanrong.

In the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth, the surname of Tianshi in Longhu Mountain is Liang Shuang. The old master has accepted a disciple in Tongyezhou, the female crowned horse Xuanhui.

In the north of Luzhou, there is a pair of senior brothers, Yuan Lingdian and Zhang Shanfeng.

Jade Guizong Jiuyifeng, the new peak master, a sword cultivator in the Longmen realm, young Qiu Zhi. Jiang Shangzhen's eldest son, Jiang Heng, lives in the blessed land of Jiang's Cloud Cave.

The two direct descendants of the sect leader Wei Ying are sword cultivators, Nianjiu and Suiyu. Their real names are Wei Gusu and Wei Xianyou.

The Ancestral Hall of Shenzhuan Peak is dedicated to Wang Ji and is in the Yupu realm. The Liu family of Aaizhou is a guest of Qing Dynasty, driving the mountain to cross the mountains. Xu Xie, the great swordsman, is an outsider.

Jiang Heng is about to meet Chen Pingan for the second time. The last time, we were on Guihua Island, one of the cross-continental ferries in Laolongcheng, going to Daixuan Mountain. At that time, the identities and realms of the two parties were completely different.

I was born in Qiudu, the old Dadu Dragon Palace. The old woman's only direct disciple, a girl named Hu Chuling, nicknamed Jeju, lives in an engagement shop by the Chilin River.

Zhong Kui brought the fat man Yu Jin, who was a ghost and immortal, and called himself Gusu.

Wei Xianyou secretly looked at the Mi Da Sword Immortal in white clothes and snow.

It looks really good.

Xu Xie took the initiative to find Pei Qian.

The unsmiling "Sword Immortal Xu Jun" saw a rare smile on his face when he saw Pei Qian.

Pei Qian cupped his fists and saluted.

On the Jinjiazhou battlefield, a swordsman and a martial artist fought side by side several times.

In fact, Xu Xie was willing to escort Yu Guizong this time just because he wanted to chat with Pei Qian.

The young great swordsman who came from Jinjiazhou looked at Pei Qian the same way he looked at his very promising junior.

Xu Xie also asked Pei Qian when he would visit Jinjiazhou again and say hello to him then, saying that he was there and had some connections in the mountains.

Zhong Kui chatted happily with the old general Yao Zhen.

Fatty Yu Jin's eyes were not idle, and when he saw the young female crowned horse Xuanhui, he was filled with emotion.

On the right side of the Sui Dynasty was his disciple Cheng Chaolu. She stood with Huang Ting and took the initiative to ask about the customs of the colorful world.

Yu Fushan was chatting with the old woman Qiu Du.

A group of people from the Yu Gui Sect stood together with Liu Jinglong, the leader of the Taihui Sword Sect, and the white-headed master of Pianran Peak.

Bai Shou avoided that Bai Xuan intentionally or unintentionally.

As expected, Yuan Lingdian and the Immortal Realm named "Dragon Gate" gathered together because Master Huolong Zhenren and Guo Loting were old acquaintances.

In the square, after learning that the little elf named Zheng Yougan was actually Liu Shiliu's disciple, many people couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Since he is Liu Shiliu's disciple, he is Chen Ping'an's nephew according to his family background.

Everyone in the world knows clearly what the atmosphere of the Literary Sage lineage is like.

Xiao Mo stood with a group of Xiandu Mountain's latest genealogy monks. In fact, the latter didn't even know who this guy with the yellow hat, green shoes and green bamboo staff was.

As a result, Qingtong seemed a bit alone.

Then the square suddenly became silent, but everyone quickly continued talking about their own things. Apparently they just felt a little surprised and didn't take it too seriously.

Because just now, at almost the same time, three people appeared inexplicably, Ai Aizhou and Liu Caishen, accompanied by their only son Liu Youzhou.

There was also the Supreme Emperor of the Xuanmi Dynasty, Yu Panshui.

Both parties showed up here in a way that was recognized as the most upstart on the mountain.

Liu Jubao took the initiative to clasp fists and salute the old man Liang Shuang, while Liu Youzhou's eyes wandered, and then he saw her at once.

Yu Panshui walked to Cui Dongshan and Cao Qinglang, who were standing side by side.

There was about a stick of incense left before the celebration. On the mountain path connecting Misue Peak and Qingping Peak, there was a sword cultivator, Tao Ran, who was preparing to step on the spot to participate in the "mountain opening" celebration.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw that it was the man in green shirt whom he had met once before on the bank of the Lian River. However, today he did not carry a pair of swords, but instead wore a sword on his back.

There are quite a lot of tricks.

The man followed Tao Ran and greeted with a smile: "Tao Jianxian."

Tao Ran nodded with a dark face.

Chen Ping'an said: "Don't worry, today's celebration will not last long, everything will be kept simple."

Tao Ran said: "Whatever, after I offer incense to the statue hanging on the wall, I can sit on the chair and take a nap."

Chen Pingan nodded and smiled: "Of course, no problem."

Tao Ran said straightforwardly: "As an elder of Mr. Cui's sect, the opening ceremony is not a trivial matter on the mountain. It's a bit shameful for you to be so unhurried, isn't it?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Anyway, I have already finished what I should be busy with. Why should I take a break from my busy schedule now?"

Tao Ran asked casually: "Have you turned on Mirror Flowers, Water Moon?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "No, I can't do such fancy things as pretending to be fat."

Tao Ran chuckled and said, "That's right."

It's not easy to say so openly that you have no money in your pocket.

Tao Ran said angrily: "Don't talk about Tao Jianxian from now on, I don't like to hear it. If it were left in the past, with my temper, it would be like asking me about swordsmanship."

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."

After detouring through a small road, the views of both sides suddenly became clearer. Climbing up the steps, you will find the White Jade Square outside the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall.

This time, there was real silence.

Tao Ran nodded secretly. Even though the mountain was small, he never thought that the family tradition was quite strict.

As for the guests attending the ceremony, how many earthly immortals can come to Tongyezhou today to congratulate them?

Then we, Tao Jianxian, saw that from a distance... Pushan Huang Yiyun!

Tao Ran used to be a wild cultivator in the mountains and rivers, and he didn't want to deal with the mountains. No matter how he didn't recognize anyone, he would not recognize Ye Yunyun, who was both a great beauty and a martial artist.

Wait a minute, why does that man look so much like Liu Caishen from Ai Aizhou?

And that group of people wearing clothes and swords, why do they look like Jade Guizong sword cultivators?

Just to deceive a golden elixir sword cultivator whose own flying sword has been shattered, you Xiandu Mountain won't put up such a big battle, right? !

Next, Tao Ran saw everyone in the square moving toward him. Everyone looked solemn and saluted each other.

On Qingping Peak, the swordsman in green shirt returned the salute with a smile and cupped fists.
