Sword of Coming

Qingping Jianzong's Shanshui Di newspaper is placed at Yunzheng Mountain, and Zhong Qiu is temporarily responsible for it.

In the future, Cui Dongshan placed "Jing Hua Shui Yue" on Ci Miao Mountain instead of Zu Mountain, which has the best scenery, or Yunzheng Mountain, which is closest to the ferry.

Unexpectedly, but within reason, Xiandu Mountain is the place where swords are practiced, and Yunzheng Mountain is where martial artists learn boxing. Both are very pure.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Master Zhong, you are the accountant, why don't you go through the account books so that the ancestors of the Shangzong including my husband can have an idea."

Say it and make everyone happy.

The sect's celebration is no different from the ordinary opening ceremony of the Golden Core cultivator. Those who come to congratulate are usually from the sect's top sect with strong financial resources. They are often generous and the gifts are not light.

The Yamashita dynasty that is close to the sect, as well as the Immortal Mansion of the vassal sect, and the gods of various mountains and rivers, in order to save face, will almost grit their teeth and give a worthy gift. This is also the dilemma for the Loushan Huangliang Sect and Yunxia Mountain as neighbors on the Aquarius Island side. They have watched the ceremony too many times and can only go in and out. This means they often take the initiative to send money to Yunxia Mountain, which is shaped like a vassal mountain. It feels aggrieved, loses face, and hurts the treasury's family fortune.

Some immortal sects, especially those who are not authentic, will also specially arrange for people to "roll call" and directly report the content of the congratulatory gifts, including a few fairy coins, what kind of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and rare treasures they have given, and they will open the skylight and speak out. , made public directly at the viewing ceremony, and made it clear, for example... Aaizhou Paidi Peak, because Master Huolong is very good at recruiting disciples, he often holds celebrations. It is said that after every celebration, the highly respected Master Huolong often sends gifts in person. When guests come down the mountain, the old man looks kind and always asks the other person whether he has encountered any difficulties at home recently.

Zhong Qiu nodded with a smile and took out an account book from his sleeve, "This time the Qingping Sword Sect held a sect celebration. From the time the first invitation letter was sent to today, in the recent period, Mi Xuefeng has There are many distinguished guests, not counting the Liu family and his son from Aaizhou, and Mr. Yu from the Xuanmi Dynasty. The three of them are temporarily climbing the mountain to observe the ceremony today. Mi Xuefeng has not arranged accommodation. The remaining thirty-two distinguished guests have to pay the expenses to send them there. , plus the tea and melon seeds from the Patriarch Hall today, the total is seven hundred and twenty-six taels of silver."

Fortunately for Huang Ting, she was a spectator at all the ceremonies in Taiping Mountain back then. It was similar to what Tao Jianxian said earlier, she only needed to sit and doze off.

But Huang Ting, who has a deep destiny, no longer has to worry about immortal money on her way to practice. She still knows what "seven hundred and twenty taels of silver" means.

Ye Yunyun is the leader of Pushan Yuncaotang. No matter how much Huang Yiyun likes to leave the general affairs to Tan Rong and Xue Huai, she still has to look at it and nod for approval without actually handling it. Therefore, Ye Yunyun is extremely Knowing the expenses of a fairy sect to hold a ceremony, arranging a place for the guests to stay, just the daily wine and tea of ​​the fairy family, and the fruits carefully cultivated by the farm monks, it is a large amount of money every day, and then there is the hosting of a ceremony. The scene is full of flowers and water, and the sect's spiritual energy consumed is a landscape scene that needs to be smashed out with money. In addition, there are some monks who are watching the ceremony. We can't just throw them into a "lawless place" with thin spiritual energy when they arrive at Pushan. , wouldn't it delay their practice, which requires Yuncaotang to crush a lot of snow in advance and spend money to "water" spiritual energy in various fairy mansions and snail shell monasteries in advance, creating a building that is conducive to practice. It is a scenic place with beautiful landscapes. According to the saying on the mountain, every breath of the Earthly Immortal monk is worth fairy money. It is indeed not a joke, it is really money. In addition, we must prepare some return gifts for the guests to take down the mountain after the celebration is over. The accountant and treasury on the mountain went to the local dynasty or other fairy houses early to purchase some unique and elegant gifts... A ceremony, all the expenses before and after, when added together, can easily amount to an astronomical amount of fairy money. Once the sect's face is really concerned about, it is even possible to make ends meet after deducting the income from gifts.

As a result, the Qingping Sword Sect was in a good situation and spent more than 700 taels of silver, less than a piece of snow!

Chen Ping'an had a sullen face, and he said, "How did you calculate that six pieces of silver, Mr. Zhong? This is a bit too much."

Wei Wenlong was filled with emotion. He was also a cashier, he had learned a lot, but a master just didn't do anything, and once he did, he became a blockbuster.

As expected of the Nanyuan Kingdom's national master in the old Lotus Flower Blessed Land, Wei Wenlong sighed to himself that he was very careful with his budget. The next time there is an opening ceremony in Luoluo Mountain, he must go to a higher level.

Zhong Qiu turned over the first page of the account book, and the next thing was the income from the gifts for this celebration.

In the Daquan Dynasty, Li Xiling, the Minister of Rites, competed with the old general Yao Zhen and the governor Yao Xianzhi. Later, when they arrived at Mi Xuefeng, in addition to the eighty Guyu coins they carried with them, Daquan Emperor Yao Jinzhi also took the initiative to make a promise to the Qingping Sword Sect. In the future, every sword cultivator found by the Daquan Dynasty in the country and within the vassal country will be immediately sent to Xiandu Mountain to practice swordsmanship. All the money required for sword refining will be provided by the Daquan household department. If Xiandu Mountain is like this It is of course the best if Bian is willing to accept sword cultivators as direct disciples of Zhufeng. If they feel it is not suitable, let them go home and return to Daquan. However, His Majesty Emperor Daquan made one and only one request. This group of Xiandu Mountain Sword cultivators who are born in the family and who succeed in cultivating Taoism in the future must go down the mountain to serve as royal servants of the Daquan Dynasty, or as monks accompanying the border army. The period is at least a period of sixty years.

As the younger brother of Emperor Daquan, Yao Xianzhi, who is still serving as the governor of Mirage City, actually knew this for the first time.

He finally understood why he had a chair in the Qingping Peak Patriarch Hall. In addition to his personal friendship with Mr. Chen, in the future, these swordsmen from the Daquan Dynasty would gradually enter the Qingping Sword Sect, so he would be Their backer?

Chen Pingan laughed and joked with his heart: "It's too late for you to regret it now. Qingping Sword Sect and Daquan Dynasty are allies. There will be a seat for you in the Patriarch Hall. If you change it, it will still be the same, so If you find it troublesome, are thin-skinned, and are worried that you are not qualified for this position, I can help discuss it with Cui Dongshan and wait a few years before your Majesty the Emperor recommends others. If you don't mind it, just sit back and relax. , anyway, I am just the mountain master of Luolu Mountain, not the master of Qingping Sword Sect. If you encounter a dispute in the future, you can argue as much as you want. Don’t be afraid of Sect Master Cui. I can at least guarantee one thing. If you are here in the future, No matter who you are with, no matter how fierce the quarrel is, there is no need to worry about falling out. There will definitely be no less trivial things in the future, but there is no need to worry about it. "

Yao Xianzhi gathered his voices together and joked: "Mr. Chen, I have replaced someone and come and sit in my seat. How dare they make trouble? Sitting here, they must not dare to take a breath, let alone argue with anyone based on reason." I guess that if you occasionally come here to attend meetings on behalf of our Daquan, you are destined to just sit here and act like a fool. It is not possible to do whatever Sect Leader Cui says. This is not possible. It must not be possible. Besides, I am also familiar with Miss Pei, just like Mr. Chen. As I said, no matter how loud the noise is behind closed doors, when the door is opened, we are still one of our own family."

Yao Xianzhi glanced at the only hanging portrait in the Patriarch Hall.

Who dares to make trouble here?

Cui Dongshan, the sect leader, is an immortal. You must know that before that war, Xun Yuan, the old sect leader of Yugui Sect, was in the immortal realm.

What's more, the current chief minister, Mi Yu, is still an Immortal Realm sword cultivator, and even more so the Mi Banyao of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Furthermore, Mr. Chen has made his meaning very clear. He is the founder of Shangzong and the husband of Sect Master Cui. In addition, Mr. Chen has a passionate relationship with Daquan. Many times, without Mr. Chen opening his mouth, it is a kind of expression of respect for the Daquan Dynasty. Invisible favoritism.

Zhongqiu continued: "Pushan Tanzhanglu, this time to congratulate me on climbing the mountain, I gave away two land deeds. They are two enclaves far away from Pushan and closest to Xiandu Mountain. According to the most conservative estimate, they are worth at least five Six hundred Guyu coins can be used as a starting point for Jindan monks. As for whether it can be opened into two smaller Xianjia ferries, further detailed investigation is needed for the time being."

Ye Yunyun smiled and said: "Tan Rong discussed this matter with me in advance. According to my personal opinion, it is enough to just take out a land deed. However, both Tan Rong and Xue Huai felt it was inappropriate, so they used a good thing in pairs. Reason, I wanted to say something at that time, but Tan Rong started to threaten me with the posture of "Master of the mountain, if you talk nonsense, I will resign as the manager", there was no choice, let him go, anyway, Pushan earned a lot of money. I have always relied on them when it comes to money, they don’t feel bad, and it’s not my turn to point fingers.”

Jia Sheng sighed: "I didn't dare to say anything before. I was worried that I was a frog in the well and didn't have much knowledge. After hearing these sincere words from Master Ye Shan, I can finally be absolutely sure of one thing. The atmosphere of Pushan is not the same as our Luolu Mountain." We are naturally close to Qingping Sword Sect, so our alliance is a natural fit, a match made in heaven."

If the "good words" stopped here, he would not be the immortal Jia who immediately went to a private academy to teach.

"The poor Taoist can't speak, but when he does speak, he goes straight to the point and doesn't know how to read people's words. I didn't know much about Pushan Yuncaotang before. I just thought that Lord Ye Shan was the one who started the whole thing. All the burdens have been borne, and now I know that there are many responsible people here in Pushan, and there is no shortage of heroes. I have offended many people by saying a few words from the bottom of my heart, and I hope Lord Yeshan will forgive me."

There was silence in the meeting hall.

It seems that whenever Master Jia speaks, he has a unique aura.

Ye Yunyun could only clasp her fists and smile: "Thank you."

Zhong Qiu turned over a page and said with a smile: "From the Jade Guizong side, the gift is eight hundred grain rain coins."

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but ask: "How much?"

"Grain Rain money, eight hundred."

Zhong Qiu said: "Besides, on the other side of Yunku Blessed Land, Young Master Jiang Heng made a verbal promise, but there is no written contract. On their side of the blessed land, they will transfer Huangheji and Yanshan to two other places within five hundred years." All the proceeds from the place were given to our Qingping Sword Sect as a gift for the Jiang family’s blessed land and had nothing to do with the Yugui Sect. According to Young Master Jiang, this was already at the Jiang’s ancestral hall before his father went down the mountain to travel. The resolution was adopted without any objection.”

Xiao Mo felt a little ashamed of himself. This down-and-out Shan Zhou chief, who had only heard his name but never seen his face, was indeed a majestic person.

Liang Shuang, an old man, pointed out that Yuan Lingdian of Xuanfeng, Liu Jinglong of Taihui swordsman, and Xu Xie, the great swordsman of Jinjiazhou, all paid for a few grain rain coins. In fact, this is the common sense for viewing ceremonies on the mountain.

Among them, Tieshushan, the immortal was indeed extremely polite and took out two private treasures as gifts, one for Tieshushan and the other as his personal congratulations.

Cui Dongshan chuckled and said: "It's a pity that our Wei Hailiang is not on the mountain, otherwise Sect Master Liu would not be able to say that he has an invincible drinker."

Pei Qian said nothing.

She knows exactly how Wei Hailiang got his nickname.

Among the four people in Lotus Flower Blessed Land Picture Scroll, the one Pei Qian is closest to, besides Zhu Lian, is Wei Xian who "claims he has a very good drinker, and then drinks a glass of wine."

This was because Pei Qian had gotten along with the old cook for a long time when he arrived at Luopo Mountain. If we really talk about the relationship at the beginning, the little girl Hei Tan was still the best with Wei Xian.

Moreover, when we left Ouhua Paradise and traveled together to Tongyezhou, Wei Xian took Pei Qian out for a walk the most. I dare not say that he came back with a full load every time. After all, Wei Xian was also poor at that time and did not have much money in his pocket, but Make sure the little girl has a round belly and burps all the way.

So now when looking at Wei Xian's direct disciples, the young girls Chai Wu and Pei Qian, they have a different mentality. In fact, the Xianjia wine that Chai Wu drinks now is all paid for by Pei Qian.

Then there is Qiu Du. Because the old woman was first a guest at the ceremony and then a worshipper in the Patriarch Hall, she secretly visited the ruins of the old Dragon Palace before. As a result, under the eyes of Zhu, the new king of the East Sea, she walked on thin ice and took out a small part. Except for the three favorite items at the bottom of the box, all the treasures in the Dragon Palace's old collection were taken out by the old Dragon Palace's instructing nun as a dowry in the future. Qiu Du didn't even keep any of them for himself.

After Cui Dongshan helped Zhang Yan earlier, he valued six hundred Grain Rain coins.

At the same time, it can be seen that the family of the Dadu Dragon Palace in the past was rich and had considerable financial resources.

Qing Tong had also taken the initiative to find Cui Dongshan before, along with a close-by object, which was mostly a collection of solitary books and some secret treasures. If we ignore the few treasures on the mountain, they were equivalent to about 10% of the belongings previously stored in the Demon Town Tower.

So according to Cui Dongshan, Zhong Qiu directly reported a number at this moment. The congratulatory gift from fellow Taoist Qingtong was one thousand two hundred grain rain coins.

Cui Dongshan suddenly said: "Sir, Yu Jin claims that he is willing to give 50% of his family wealth as a gift."

This is because Zhong Kui helped mediate it before, which is equivalent to helping the fat Gu Su come to the door to "collect debts". Otherwise, Cui Dongshan and Xiao Mo would only firmly deny that such a thing happened, and the other would just say that it never happened. Cross the sea.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You are the leader of the next sect. Ask me what to do with this kind of sect affairs. If you really want me to say something, 50% is too much, and 30% or 40% is enough."

Cui Dongshan said: "Understood!"

Finally, there are the two "rich locals" Liu Jubao and Yu Panshui. They are not disappointing at all. They can be said to be extraordinary. One of them is a large ferry named "Tongyin". Although it can be said that Liu Aaizhou A joint gift from the Xuanmi Dynasty and the Xuanmi Dynasty, the "Tongyin" ferry is not an expensive and sky-high cross-continental ferry like Feng Yuan, but its quality is not inferior to the ink-turning dragon boat in Luolu Mountain, so its route can include Tongyezhou is a land of mountains and rivers, and its cargo capacity is even better than that of the dragon boat that was used as an ornamental boat in the past. For Qingping Sword Sect, this is a good thing if someone gives you a pillow when you doze off. After all, nowadays In the world, high-quality ferries are in short supply, and even if you have money, you can't buy them. As long as there are such ferries, you will have a cornucopia of wealth.

Cui Dongshan glanced at Pei Qian and said cautiously: "In addition to this 'Tongyin' ferry, Liu Jubao and Yu Panshui both hope that the eldest sister can serve as the registered guest of the Liu family and the Xuanmi Dynasty in Aaizhou. The eldest sister is willing to be Offering is better. As long as the elder sister nods, both parties are willing to give 600 Guyu coins and 400 Guyu coins in one go. If it is the offering, the number of Guyu coins will be doubled directly. Moreover, they both promise that it is only in name. To serve as a 'registered' guest or to make offerings, the eldest sister will not need to attend any family ancestral halls or the capital meetings of the Xuanmi Dynasty. The eldest sister will at most make an appearance in Aai Ai Continent or the Xuanmi Dynasty every hundred years. can."

Chen Pingan was speechless.

Mrs. Liu is really rich and wealthy to an outrageous degree.

No need to guess, Tongyin Ferry is the property of the Liu family and has nothing to do with Yupanshui. Maybe even the "thousand" Grain Rain coins that invited Pei Qian to be the honored guest came from Liu Jubao's pocket alone. , so it’s different to have a rich friend who is “the richest in the world”.

Chen Ping'an wanted to ask those two privately, do you still accept Zijing Wufu?

As for Liu Jubao and Yu Panshui, as extremely pragmatic businessmen, of course they do not have money and nowhere to spend it, but they have certain selfish motives. The good relationship between the swordsman Xu Xie and Pei Qian is a clear proof.

Back then in Jinjiazhou, "Zheng Qian" saved many mountain qigong practitioners and dynasty generals on the battlefield. This taciturn female martial artist was young and punched hard. Although her military exploits were not as great as Cao Ci's, she didn't know. Why, all the natives of Jinjiazhou have discovered a strange thing. It seems that Zheng Qian has an sworn hatred with the wild monster clan. On the battlefields from south to north, she punched the enemy. Cruel, even more cruel than Cao Ci and Yu Xuanfu, who are also pure martial artists. Many times, Zheng Qian simply intentionally tortures and kills demon monks. She often punches out, breaking half of the opponent's body on the spot. Or deliberately smashed half of the heads of the demon monks, especially several demon immortal sword cultivators, who were tortured by Zheng Qian who "specially freed up his hands". There was once a man who was rumored to have gone to the top of the Sword Qi Great Wall to refine swords. The young swordsman was unfortunately found by Zheng Qian, and his head was "plucked up" by Pei Qian. At that time, a Yuanying demon monk who was a protector was used by Zheng Qian to open the way with his palm, and forced a spell. Instead of retreating, he advanced and split the opponent in half on the spot. The female master, who was already covered in blood, just passed through.

On the battlefield of Jinjiazhou, from the genealogy monks to the troops at the foot of the mountain, everyone has a grudge and is burdened with a sea of ​​blood and blood. There is no way to retreat, so everyone is seeking revenge.

But the revenge that Zheng Qian helped to avenge was undoubtedly the most satisfying to the Jinjiazhou natives on the battlefield.

But in fact, the reason why Pei Qian, a foreign martial artist, punched like this in Jinjiazhou, so ferocious that it was almost abnormal, was just a way of silently venting her anger.

It was you, these wild beasts, who made it impossible for my master to return home.

According to Cui Dongshan's humorous statement, every time someone in Jinjiazhou mentions Mr., they will say, "Oh, it turns out he is the master of Grandmaster Zheng."

So it’s hard to say where else the husband and the senior sister would go together, but in Jinjiazhou, the senior sister would definitely be more popular.

In short, when the Liu family in Aaizhou was doing business in Jinjiazhou, Pei Qian was the first to serve as the registered enshrinement and guest minister on a certain mountain, which was a very important gold-lettered signboard.

Pei Qian said: "Yes, it's okay to use it as an offering. But Guyu Qian will be divided equally between Qingping Sword Sect and Luo Luoshan."

In fact, Sword Immortal Xu Xie had mentioned this to her before, but she did not agree or refuse directly. She only said that she had to ask her master.

Cui Dongshan was about to peck at the rice, but Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Keep this fairy money for yourself."

Pei Qiannan smiled and said: "Master, I am a martial arts practitioner, why do I keep so much money from the gods?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Master has the final say."

Pei Qian said oh.

Listen to Master.

When the ferry was being built, Cui Dongshan once asked Pei Qian a question while his husband was away.

When the senior sister was in Jinjiazhou, did she have no intention of returning to Luolu Mountain?

Pei Qian was silent for a long time, just drinking. Cui Dongshan insisted on asking the senior sister to give an answer, and then Pei Qian gave his true thoughts.

As long as Master does not return to Luo Po Mountain, Luo Po Mountain will no longer be her home.

What she meant was that when her master was gone, her home would be gone.

It's just that Cui Dongshan still doesn't dare to say this to his husband.

I'm afraid that my senior sister will take revenge on me, and I'm even more afraid that my husband will be sad after hearing this.

Cui Dongshan clapped his hands and said, "There will be a second viewing ceremony. Let's rest for half an hour."

Because there is also an opening ceremony for the Qingping Sword Sect’s golden and jade genealogy.

Chen Ping'an and Li Baoping walked out of the main hall and did not go straight to the square outside the gate of the Patriarch's Hall. They sat on the steps outside the door.

Cui Dongshan took Pei Qian to find the two rich men.

Cao Qinglang, Xiao Mili, and of course Jia Lao Shenxian, were busy in the Patriarch Hall, rearranging the chairs.

There will be a table with pens, inks, paper and inkstones placed. The first person to write the pen will write down the name, place of birth, and inheritance of Cui Dongshan, the first master of the Qingping Sword Sect, and the first genealogy written in the Qingpingfeng Ancestral Master Hall. Page.

This person is of course Chen Pingan.

Then it was Changsheng, the patriarch of the Shang Dynasty, who inscribed Cui Wei's name on the genealogy of the lower sect.

After that, Cui Wei took his seat and was responsible for writing the names of all the genealogy monks who were included in the Qingping Sword Sect, Mi Yu, Zhong Qiu, Cao Qinglang...

After that came the apprenticeship ceremony. Cui Dongshan accepted Hu Chuling and Jiang Qu as his disciples.

Cui Wei accepted his disciples in Xiehui. Mi Yu accepted He Gu as his direct successor, and Sui Youyou accepted Cheng Chaolu as his disciple, etc.

After they drank the apprenticeship tea, the disciples kowtowed, and they were considered official masters and disciples on the mountain.

Among the second-generation disciples of the Shangshanxia Sect, as direct disciples of the mountain master Chen Pingan, there are Cui Dongshan, Pei Qian, Cao Qinglang, Zhao Shuxia, and Guo Zhujiu.

Zhu Lian brought Cen Yuanji up the mountain and two of Lu Baixiang's disciples, Yuanbao and Yuanlai. Wei Xian's disciple, Chai Wu. Jia Sheng's two disciples, Zhao Denggao and Tian Jiuer.

Then there are the six sword immortal embryos including Bai Xuan, except King Sun Chun who is Ning Yao's unnamed disciple.

Among the third-generation disciples, there is Pei Qian, the eldest disciple, and the little mute from the New Year's Shop in Qilong Lane, whose real name is Zhou Junchen.

As well as Jiang Qu and Hu Chuling, who are about to become Cui Dongshan's direct disciples, thank you, they all.

According to the seniority on the mountain, when they see Chen Pingan in the future, these people will be called the Patriarch.

Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "Why did you just come here today?"

Li Baoping said: "I traveled to the entrance of Suishan Mountain in Zhongtu before. I had prepared a draft early. When I went up the mountain, I wanted to discuss it with the Etiquette Department of the Tiger Mansion to see if they would allow me to engrave a monument. . It turned out to be such a coincidence. I was wondering before, why I heard a drum sound in the middle of the night on the border of Suishan. When I drove through the night and reached the foot of the mountain, it was just dawn, and Zhou Shanjun showed up in person. , in addition to saying that there was no problem with rubbing the monument, he also told me the reason for the drum sound, saying that my uncle left the solar term courtyard in Suishan last night. If I had entered the Zhongyue boundary earlier last night, he could help me talk to my uncle. Hello. I estimated the time, and it seemed that it was less than a stick of incense. I was anxious, so I called my brother. Being implicated, my brother and Zhou Shanjun both bowed and apologized. After that, my brother did not He was released immediately and helped to calculate the specific time of the celebration for my uncle, so I had no choice but to be patient and accompany my brother to build the monument."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's confusing, who is accompanying whom to build the monument?"

Li Baoping laughed.

Chen Ping'an said: "I blame me for walking too hastily."

Li Baoping said: "My brother said that it is not appropriate for him to show up here for the time being. He plans to go to the Buddhist Kingdom in the West first. After coming back, he may first go to Baidi City as a guest, and then come to meet you, my junior uncle, to catch up and have a drink."

Chen Pingan nodded.

I just hope that in Baidi City, the two sides can just play chess and never start a fight.

After all, if you really want to care about it, you can't escape the relationship.

Looking at the slightly frowning Junior Master, Li Baoping suddenly laughed and said, "My brother said that his future visit to Baidi City has nothing to do with Junior Junior Uncle. I want you not to think too much about it."

Chen Pingan was silent for a moment, put his hands in his sleeves, and said softly: "There will always be some people who make us want to be like that."

Li Baoping said: "My uncle has always been like this."

Chen Ping'an took out the sword gourd and shook it, "Don't drink too much."

Li Baoping then took off the sword-raising gourd, lightly bumped it with his junior uncle's wine gourd, and drank each other.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Do you want to travel to Tongye Continent? My junior uncle can accompany you."

Li Baoping blinked, "My brother said that before he returns, he can't disturb my junior uncle's practice. When he said this, my brother looked serious and fierce."

Chen Ping'an held back his laughter, "How cruel can it be?"

Li Baoping made a serious face and began to imitate the look and tone of his elder brother Li Xisheng, "Baoping, you really need to listen to me about this once. Don't glance back and forth. Don't say anything. Then you have to nod. Okay, okay." Yes, you will take it as the default."

Pei Qian and Cui Dongshan quickly walked into the door and sat on the steps together. Cui Dongshan sat next to his husband, and Pei Qian sat next to sister Baoping. Li Baoping touched Pei Qian's head and said "Grow up" Well, the girl is too nice, but she is worried about getting married. Pei Qian narrowed his eyes and smiled, then he would not marry.

Chen Pingan asked: "After the second viewing ceremony, can we use a compromise method to bring Yu Guizong in to participate in the excavation of Dadu?"

"Just treat it as a common test to decide whether the two sides will form an alliance. But if we really do this, will the Jade Guizong think that we are pushing the envelope?"

"I'm actually not very good at dealing with this kind of interest exchange between large sects. Dongshan, do you think it's appropriate?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Sir, there is something that you may have misjudged."

Chen Pingan asked: "How to say it?"

Cui Dongshan said: "In this Tongye Continent, we have nothing to belittle ourselves. There are actually only two forces on the mountain that can really speak now. The ones who need to act based on people's faces are not our Qingping Sword Sect, but them Jade Guizong. If the other party thinks that we just didn’t immediately agree to the alliance, and they think we are overbearing and deliberately arrogant, then it means that their Jade Guizong thinks too highly of themselves and underestimates our Qingping Sword Sect. .”

"I think your husband's suggestion is actually very well-measured. Zhang Fenggu and the others should be content to be able to participate in discussions in our Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall as outsiders. How can we say that it is to make things difficult for them? It is obviously a kind of Reciprocating the favor has given them a big step up."

"So, sir, it's still easy to talk."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "This statement is very good for swordsmen."

To put it another way, he is actually very meritorious and very conscientious.

Nothing bad.

I had already warned the guests before, so everyone quickly gathered at Qingpingfeng Square again.

Tao Ran came to Mi Yu's side, and there was also the registered worshiper from the Shangzong, named Xi Zhu, whose name was strange, wearing a yellow hat and blue shoes, holding a green bamboo stick in his hand, accompanying Chief Mi, with their backs leaning against the railing on the cliffside. Small talk.

Mi Yu straightened up and said with a smile: "Tao Jianxian, do you have anything to do with me? I don't know what to order."

Previously, Master Yin Guan and Tao Ran came together to attend the celebration. The conversation on the mountain road made Mi Yu almost kneel down in front of the majestic Tao Jianxian.

I advised Mr. Yin Guan in a serious manner not to talk about Tao Jianxian in the future, but he didn't like to hear it. Before that, I just asked him about swordsmanship...

Tao Jianxian, you really don’t know what will happen to the target of our Lord Yin Guan’s sword.

However, Mi Yu suddenly had a kind of respect for Tao Ran. In our sect, there are people who are so strong-willed. Is there anyone in the sect on Luolu Mountain? It seems not.

Tao Ran asked: "May I ask boldly, Taoist friend Xizhu, is he also a sword cultivator?"

Xiaomo smiled and nodded.

Tao Ran said bravely: "There were some bastard words earlier. Just forget it, fellow Taoist Xizhu, and don't take it to heart."

Once in a shop by the Ling River, Tao Ran exchanged harsh words with this fellow Taoist.

Crawl away.

Tao Ran was not a fool. He just looked at the seating arrangement in the Patriarch Hall today. The chair for Taoist Brother Xizhu was right next to Pei Qian.

Xiao Mo smiled kindly, shook his head and said, "Tao Zongfeng is worrying too much, just call me Xiaomo from now on. Xiaomo doesn't even remember some of the bastard things Tao Zongfeng said, so why should he take it seriously?"

Tao Ran felt relieved and did not directly ask the other party's state of mind, which would easily violate taboos. What's more, the two sides don't have much friendship. Really speaking, it was only the second time they met, so the relationship was not so close that one could ask about one's level.

Xiao Mo seemed to have read Tao Ran's thoughts and said with a smile, "Chief Mi and I are in different situations."

Tao Ran nodded.

Nascent Soul realm sword cultivator? Probably not enough.

This senior Xizhu is probably a Jade Pu Realm Sword Immortal.

Miyu grinned and didn't explain anything.

In fact, Tao Ran had already accepted his fate. If you are willing to call him Tao Jianxian, if you don't think the price has dropped, it doesn't matter to me.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo changed his mind first and called himself Tao Zongfeng. Looking at Chief Mi again, Xiao Mo was worthy of being a person from Luopo Mountain of Shangzong, and he was more particular about his words.

Elsewhere, Liang Shuang and Qing Tong were standing together. The old man asked curiously: "Fellow Taoist Qing Tong, how come you have become a worshiper here?"

Qingtong smiled and explained: "My Taoist name is 'Qingtong', and we share the same character 'Qing' with the Qingping Sword Sect, which means we are close to each other."

The old man was stunned and speechless for a moment.

It’s really ridiculous.

Not only did Liu Youzhou meet Pei Qian just now, but she actually agreed to her father's invitation to serve as her family's worshiper. She was still happy now.

Yu Panshui patted the young man's shoulder and asked, "When will we have the wedding banquet?"

Liu Youzhou blushed and pretended to be stupid: "What do you mean?"

Liu Jubao smiled and said nothing. If it really happened, it would be a great joy. He and Liu Youzhou's mother had already talked about this in private. She was looking forward to it but also worried. She also asked Liu Jubao, himself Isn’t the son a bit unworthy of that girl? But if he really wants to marry her, Pei Qian is a martial artist after all. If there is a quarrel, the son will be bruised and swollen. He will not dare to complain to his parents, and he will even be stupidly worried about his wife’s slap. Does it hurt? How dare Liu Jubao comment on this matter? He has to admit that it is too difficult for his son to marry Pei Qian as his wife. His silly son may not have noticed it yet. As Pei Qian's Master, the young hidden officer looked at his son as if he were guarding against a thief. Not only that, Chen Ping'an also felt like he was looking for a place to put a sack.

Li Baoping took Pei Qian and found Zheng Youqian, the eldest disciple of his uncle Liu Shiliu.

The three of them happened to be the three further disciples of Jun Qian, Qi Jingchun and Chen Ping'an from the literary sage lineage.

Jiang Qu never expected that he could become Cui Dongshan's direct disciple.

It is estimated that the founder of the mountain has already been selected, but Sect Leader Cui deliberately ignored it. But Jiang Qun dare not expect to become the great disciple of the leader of a sect.

Jiang went to take a deep breath. Zhang Jiazhen just stood there, cupping his hands and shaking them a few times. The accountant, who looked at least ten years older than Jiang Qu, had a sincere smile and was sincerely happy for his peers from the same hometown, but there was no icing on the cake. talk.

Jiang Qu was about to speak but stopped. Back in Luolu Mountain, Jiang Qu, who was devoted to cultivating talismans, was dragged by Zhu Lian to work on the civil engineering work.

In fact, Zhu Lian once said to Jiang Qu, "Only when you have a real relationship with Zhang Jiazhen can you be considered successful in cultivating your mind. Then I will help you find a preacher."

In addition, the old cook also had a frank meeting with Jiang Qu.

Be careful, don't become the first mountain monk to be expelled from the mountain.

What I mean by delisting is not necessarily on the genealogy of the Patriarch Hall, but here.

The old cook held the wine flask and tapped it against his heart.

Let me remind you in advance that this kind of thing is not easy to do. I advise you not to be smart and pretend to be polite and cordial with Zhang Jiazhen. Does it work? That would be stupid.

You might as well think about it carefully for yourself. Most of us in Luolu Mountain regard your little thoughts like Jiang Qu as just playing? It's almost as shallow as a small beach after rain.

Jiang Qu couldn't hold it back, stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Jiazhen's arm, and said, "Jiazhen, don't grow old too fast!"

Although Zhang Jiazhen felt strange, she still nodded and smiled: "Okay, okay."

I just felt that Jiang Qu seemed to be different, as if...he had returned to his hometown again. Both of them were just part-time workers in the liquor store.

Bai Xuan, Chai Wu, and King Sun Chun were waiting for the millet grains.

There is no distinction between them on this small mountain, they are all friends.

Now they are about the same size.

After finishing the "moving" of the chairs in the Patriarch Hall, the little girl in black rushed out.

Chai Wu asked the question that interested her the most, "Defender Right, you are discussing matters over there at the Patriarch Hall, can you drink?"

If possible, she would practice more seriously.

The drinks over there should be the kind of expensive Xianjia wines, right?

Xiaomi Li scratched her face, this question was a bit tricky, and tentatively said: "Okay..."

The good mountain master didn’t say no, but he just didn’t see anyone drinking it. Even the good mountain master and the martial arts leader, such big officials, were just drinking outside on the steps.

Bai Xuan crossed his arms across his chest, "You can ask Lord Yinguan directly if you have such a question."

Chai Wu said: "How busy is Master Chen, that he can be disturbed casually?"

It was rare for King Sun Chun to speak, "Master Yin Guan is busy, so he is very patient."

Back then, I left Luhua Island with Master Yin Guan and took a talisman boat to travel across the sea. In order to take care of these big boys, Master Yin Guan did all the big and small things by himself, and I didn't see him complaining. He is a very patient person. It was later that Cheng Chaolu began to share a part, and later, the relationship became familiar, except for Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting, who had prejudices against Lord Yin Guan... White-eyed wolf, of course, was the nickname given by Bai Xuan. King Sun Chun felt that He didn't accuse them unjustly, not to mention that compared to his own dead fish eyes, King Sun Chun didn't think their nickname was too unpleasant.

Not far away stood an outsider, Qiu Zhi, who wanted to get closer but was shy.

After looking all over Qingping Peak, there were only people of the same age here, and they were standing together, so Qiu Zhi wanted to chat with them.

After all, Qiu Zhi was still a child. Before he was taken up the mountain, he did not come from a wealthy family. He could only be regarded as a well-off family at the foot of the mountain, belonging to a scholarly family of farmers and scholars in Tongyezhou.

Bai Xuan put his hands behind his back and walked around him, "Your name is Qiu Zhi? I heard you are from Jiuyifeng of the Jade Guizong?"

Qiu Zhi nodded.

a little nervous.

I heard Grandpa Zhang say in private that those children on Luopo Mountain might be from the Sword Qi Great Wall.

In the world of Haoran, it is okay not to be a sword cultivator, but to be a sword cultivator. Facing the Great Wall of Sword Qi, except maybe Beiju Luzhou, all will have an extremely complicated mentality.

Although Qiu Zhi is not very old, during the short period of practicing in Jiuyifeng, he has gradually begun to realize the weight of these words, Yu Guizong, Jiuyifeng, and Jianxiu.

Bai Xuan asked: "Then have you heard of me?"

Qiu Zhi nodded and said, "My name is Bai Xuan."

The memory is profound. In addition to the fact that the other person is about the same age as himself, not only this Bai Xuan, but also several others have something that Qiu Zhi feels he cannot explain.

Especially this Bai Xuan, he is the clearest.

Qiu Zhi still doesn’t know yet.

It was a kind of self-confidence that bordered on arrogance.

There are two types of sword cultivators in the world, Sword Qi Great Wall and Beyond.

I come from the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

In the streets and alleys of my hometown, sword fairies can be seen everywhere.

I am young and have never been to Chengtou, but I will definitely go there in the future.

Because about every hundred years, there will be a big war waiting for us to fight. Once we climb the city, we can fight with the entire wild world.

So a sword cultivator who grew up in a place like this will still have a natural edge even if he reaches the vast world.

Qiu Zhi asked curiously: "Bai Xuan, can I ask, are you the direct disciple of Lord Yin Guan?"

Bai Xuan waved his hand, "I have a master in my hometown. Besides, I have a nickname, 'Little Yin Guan'. It would be inappropriate to become a disciple of Master Yin Guan."

Qiu Zhi asked in confusion: "Then who is the 'Xiao Yinguan'?"

Bai Xuan yawned, "Just a few years older than me, that guy is not worth mentioning."

Xiaomi Li immediately said: "'Little Yin Guan' Chen Li is in the Golden Core realm."

Bai Xuan said: "Yes, that's why I said it's not worth mentioning."

Qiu Zhi was amazed.

It’s amazing, even the Golden Core realm is nothing.

I will come to Qingping Sword Sect often as a guest in the future.

Bai Xuan asked casually: "Qiu Zhi, what state have you reached?"

Qiu Zhi hesitated for a moment, but told the truth, "Dragon Gate Realm."

Not only was Bai Xuan not surprised, but his eyes were filled with pity. The young swordsman in the cave realm sighed, shook his head, patted Qiu Zhi on the shoulder, and comforted: "Then the sword training method is the same as that of Chen Li. , the qualifications are not enough, so work hard to get it together. When you return to Jiuy Peak in the future, remember not to slack off in your practice. Give me a mailing address later, and Feijian will send you a letter every now and then. I have to remind you a few words."

Qiu Zhi laughed and nodded slightly.

It is indeed the Qingping Sword Sect founded by Lord Yin Guan, and it is indeed nothing to be a swordsman in the Golden Core Realm.

However, Qiu Zhi felt that this was only reasonable and that it should be like this.

Bai Xuan remembered something, looked around, then put his arm around Qiu Zhi's shoulders, and pulled the latter away without any explanation. After walking a long distance, deliberately turning his back to Xiaomi Li, Bai Xuan carefully took out a pocket book from his arms. He lowered his voice and said, "Qiu Zhi, you and I hit it off like old friends. Since today is the celebration of our sect, it must be an auspicious day. I have a booklet here. Come and sign it." From now on, the two of us will be like the kind of friends who chop off chicken heads and burn yellow paper, the kind of sworn friends. Oh, I forgot that I didn’t bring a pen and ink. It’s okay. I brought ink pads and stamped my fingerprints. It’s all accurate.”

Bai Shou watched that scene from a distance, feeling filled with emotion, what a sin.

Wang Ji smiled and said: "In the Jade Gui Sect, from Shenzhuan Peak to Jiuyi Peak, Qiu Zhi would not have such a conversation. This child is completely relaxed at the moment."

Zhang Fenggu said with a smile: "It's good. Those children will not take the identity of the Jiuyi Peak Master too seriously, either in their mouths or in their hearts. If Qiu Zhi can have a few peers here, he can become the future leader." We are long-term friends, so Jiu Yifeng will make a profit from this long trip."

Wang Ji frowned slightly, "Would you like to remind Qiu Zhi not to stamp your fingerprints casually?"

There are all kinds of strange magic techniques on the mountain. No wonder Wang Ji is suspicious. Wang Ji himself is also very heroic in the world. However, Qiu Zhi, this child, is so highly regarded by the Jade Gui Sect that the leader Wei Ying went to Haoran. Before Tianxia, ​​he actually left words similar to his last words, and they were recorded in the Ancestor Hall.

If he himself is unable to return from the wild world, he will be entrusted to Zhang Fenggu, Wang Ji and others in the ancestral hall to protect Qiu Zhi at any cost!

As for the position of the leader of the Yugui Sect, he would rather remain vacant for a hundred years or even longer than let Qiu Zhi grow up slowly and fill the vacancy for the next leader.

Zhang Fenggu thought for a moment and said, "We don't need to be so nervous. The Qingping Sword Sect's ethos is still trustworthy."

To put it bluntly, even if they return without success this time, in the future, the Jade Guizong and the Qingping Sword Sect will still be an open and aboveboard battle between gentlemen.

Zhang Fenggu could trust the local sword cultivators of the Sword Qi Great Wall, and he could trust the last hidden official who was willing to defend the city.

Wang Ji laughed at himself and said, "I judge the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain."

Zhang Fenggu said with a smile: "You can't say that, don't think so."

Zhang Fenggu hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Wang Chongfeng, from now on when discussing matters at the Shenzhuan Peak Ancestral Hall, can you curse Jiang Shangzhen less?"

Wang Ji listened to this clueless reminder and didn't know how to answer for a while.

As the patriarch of the Jade Gui Sect of the same generation as the old sect leader Xun Yuan, Zhang Fenggu knew more inside information than Wang Ji.

Many years ago, Wei Ying, the sword cultivator who was still the master of Jiuyi Peak, approached the old sect master Xun Yuan and suggested that Yu Guizong should take the lead and gather a group of Tongyezhou sword cultivators to learn from Beiju Luzhou and rush to Sword Cultivator. The Great Wall of Qi has been like a swallow holding mud for a long time. Using the stupidest method, it finally won a considerable amount of kendo luck for the entire Tongye Continent. And as the leader, Yu Guizong, there might be a chance for an Ascension Realm... sword cultivator to appear!

Zhang Fenggu, who was Xun Yuan's junior brother, happened to be present at that time, but Xun Yuan did not agree or give an explanation. He only said that the matter would be discussed later, and the so-called reconsideration actually meant that Xun Yuan never mentioned it again.

This made Wei Ying extremely puzzled. I won’t feel resentful, but loss is inevitable.

When Zhang Fenggu also asked privately, senior brother Xun Yuan still didn't give a reason.

The final facts proved that both Xun Yuan and Wei Ying were right and wrong at the same time.

For the entire Tongyezhou, Wei Ying was wrong for Xun Yuan, but for Yu Guizong, Wei Ying was wrong for Xun Yuan.

Because once Yu Guizong is too deeply involved with the Great Wall of Sword Qi and shows too much attention, there may be at least one more demon from the old throne in the encirclement of the mountain by the monster army, such as Fei Fei, or Moving Mountain. Ancestor Yuan Shou would even add a Qie Yun. The Jiazi Zhang in the wild world may directly level the peaks of the Yugui Sect regardless of the cost, even if it delays the attack on Aquarius Continent. As a kind of The method of killing chickens to scare monkeys is to show your attitude to the vast world. This is the fate of those who dare to associate with the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

However, Zhang Fenggu was sure of one thing. From that day on, senior brother Xun Yuan recognized Wei Ying and began to truly plan for Wei Ying's future sect master, secretly paving the way for him.

In a sense, it even broke the tradition and allowed Jiang Shangzhen, who was not the master of Jiuyi Peak, to be the next leader of Yugui Sect, while letting Wei Ying go to Aquarius Continent to succeed the leader of Zhenjing Sect.

It was like the two parties had switched positions. Xun Yuan was obviously prepared for the worst, letting Jiang Shangzhen stick to the Shenzhuan Peak of Zushan and die if he died, and let Wei Ying and the Zhenjing Sect pass on the incense of the Yugui Sect. Go down.

That is to say, from the beginning, Xun Yuan first regarded Jiang Shangzhen as a roadblock for Wei Ying to become the leader of the clan, and placed it outside the Aquarius Continent, which was similar to conferring a king and a vassal at one time. However, when the war was imminent, he turned around, just like again Let His Highness the Prince stay away from the capital, stay away from the dangerous place with no way out, and let the "lord of the feudal lord" enter the capital.

Is Jiang Shang really unaware of this plan of the old sect leader Xun Yuan?

It must be clear and well understood.

Any resentment?

No complaints.

Therefore, Zhang Fenggu viewed Jiang Shangzhen with an extremely complicated mentality.

Because even the Yugui Sect itself and most of the monks with chairs in the Patriarch Hall are still unaware of this matter.

It seems that Jiang Shangzhen doesn't want anyone to notice the truth at all, and is happy to continue to be scolded. Jiang Shangzhen has never been a kind-hearted master. As the head of the Jiang family who holds the blessed land of Cloud Cave, his hands are stained with blood. Even if it is simply a monk, Jiang Shangzhen, who often travels far away, can be criticized in terms of personal ethics. There are indeed too many places. Perhaps this is a lack of personal morality and no lack of righteousness, so Jiang Shangzhen can have a clear conscience? Having a clear conscience is not selfish. I remain unmoved when outsiders criticize me. That is not called having a clear conscience. The older such people get, the thicker their skin becomes. That is called being old and not dying, which is a thief.

That's it, the dust has settled.

No one knows what Xun Yuan was thinking back then.

Maybe the only confidant is Jiang Shangzhen.

Because he once practiced at Shenzhuan Peak, Xun Yuan personally brought him up the mountain, and later served as the genealogical sword cultivator of the Zhenjing Sect, so today Sui Youyou brought his disciple Cheng Chaolu to Zhang Fenggu and Wang Ji to reminisce about old times. For Sui Youyou, this is already an extremely rare thing.

After saying goodbye, Cheng Chaolu asked in a low voice: "Master, do you feel lost if you don't become an official?"

Sui Youyou smiled and said, "Why do you think so?"

Cheng Chaolu scratched his head and said, "Just asking casually."

Sui Youyou asked back: "The master is neither the Patriarch of Palm Law nor the Chief Enshrined One, and his level of swordsmanship is not high yet. You practice swordsmanship and boxing with me, but it seems that you have little potential. Do you feel disappointed?"

Cheng Chaolu shook his head vigorously, "There's nothing to be disappointed about."

Sui Zuoyi said: "Chen Ping'an, Zhu Lian, Lu Baixiang, Wei Xian, and of course the master's own unique boxing technique. You must study it carefully. As for how much you can learn in the end, your determination depends on yourself, and your success depends on your destiny. .”

Cheng Chaolu asked doubtfully: "Can I also learn Master Yinguan's boxing skills? Does this count as stealing from my master? Isn't there any taboo?"

Sui Zuoyi smiled and said: "No."

The second viewing ceremony at Qingpingfeng Ancestral Hall was carried out step by step.

Even after the celebration was over, the location for the excavation of Dadu was actually the Qingpingfeng Ancestral Master Hall. This shows how seriously the Qingping Sword Sect takes this matter.

In addition to Qingping Jianzong, Taipingshan, Daquan Dynasty, Pushan Yuncaotang, there are also Yugui Zong, Zhang Fenggu, Wang Ji, Qiu Zhi, and Jiang Heng.

Liu Jubao and Yu Panshui were also invited, and Liu Youzhou and Xu Xie were invited to attend.

On the side of the Qingping Sword Sect, there are Chen Ping'an, Chang Ming, Wei Wenlong, Pei Qian, and Xiao Mo. Cui Dongshan, Mi Yu, Cui Wei, Zhong Qiu, Cao Qinglang.

The only strange thing is that He Gu, the direct disciple of Mi Yu, the chief worshiper, and Yu Xiehui, the disciple of Cui Wei, the chief priest, are also included in the meeting.

Yu Panshui looked at Chen Ping'an and his group on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Can I change positions? You and I, Xiandu Shan, are actually on the same team."

Although our side has a large number of people and is strong, the other side looks a little weak, but in fact, there are many "house thieves" in our row, and it doesn't look like they can take advantage.

Young Yin Guanming and Sect Leader Cui, you two have a clear division of labor. One is responsible for tricking dogs into getting in, and the other is killing pigs behind closed doors. Taipingshan and Pushan must be accomplices.

After that, the excavation of Dadu was discussed for about a full hour, mainly Cui Dongshan, Ye Yunyun and Li Xiling talked a lot. Just the main branch of the new Dadu took more than half an hour.

There is still no real conclusion, because several forces here have objections about which section of the river they will be responsible for digging in the future.

This is normal. Both Jade Guizong and Pushan will definitely need to go back to hold a meeting in their own ancestral hall first. The Daquan Dynasty will even hold a grand meeting in the court hall and a small meeting in the imperial study room.

After the important meeting in Qingpingfeng, which at least determined that "Tongyezhou will definitely have a brand new road", an old scholar appeared in the Ancestral Hall, where Cao Qinglang closed the door, and made a fuss. Shen Dantian's posture and steady body were much better than expected earlier. He did not sit directly on the ground. The old man who had finally escaped from the Merit Forest of the Confucian Temple turned around, put his hands behind his back, looked at the portrait, and twisted He smiled proudly and said, "Except for Jun Qian, who is a little bit shy, none of my disciples are not handsome. In terms of appearance and bearing, they all follow the teacher. After all, when I was young, I would go out to buy a drink. The only one who is going to be taken advantage of is the aunt at the fish market, who went too far, really went too far. The person who sold us crabs back then was missing arms and legs, and she lied to me and said they were very fresh..."

The old man walked to the chair next to the leader and stretched out his hand to hold the back of the chair. As a teacher, he could travel across continents in one step from Gongdelin. Why, of course, he was sitting in this chair. The student who attended the school, this closed disciple, used all his merits, plus the merits of all his senior brothers, to do something together behind their husband's back.

When the Holy Master returned to Gongde Forest, a unicorn followed him.

The Most Holy Master made a special trip to get Li Sheng and Jing Sheng Xiping to have a drink with the old scholar. Finally, he said that he should remember to let your closed disciples go to heaven for a trip.

In the dusk, inside Cui Dongshan's house in Mi Xuefeng, a group of people sat around the stove, which was a bit crowded.

Chen Pingan, millet grains. Pei Qian, Li Baoping. Cao Qinglang, Zheng Yougan.

Only Cui Dongshan was pitifully sitting alone on a bench.

Except for Xiaomi Li, who does not belong to the literary sage lineage, the other six people, from two generations, can almost be said to be classmates in the strictest sense.

Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan just took a break from their busy work and rested here for a while. There were still a lot of things waiting for them to do.

Li Baoping said something. He once met Gu Can in the Fox Country in Qingfeng City.

Chen Pingan listened to Li Baoping's story and nodded with a smile.

In fact, Chen Ping'an never mentioned some of the past even to Liu Xianyang.

For example, the boy from Muping Alley, who was an apprentice kiln worker, would take the little slug out to play every time he returned to Mudping Alley from the Long Kiln, and buy something that Gu Can was usually very greedy but couldn't afford. Once, I let a little slug sit on my neck. The child opened his hands and shouted, "Fly, fly, fly." The straw-shoe boy laughed and ran in an alley. But by accident, a pedestrian appeared at the corner. In order to avoid him, he The boy had no choice but to tilt his body in a hurry. As a result, the little slug's head hit the wall and he burst out laughing. The boy quickly squatted down and put the child on the ground. A large red and swollen bump soon appeared on the child's forehead, and blood oozed from it. , at that scene, the young man's face was pale and colorless, his hands were trembling, and he wanted to rub it gently with his palms, but as soon as he touched the wound, the child started crying in pain and became more and more heartbreaking. The hurried young man hurriedly hugged the wound. The child went to the roadside and found some herbs, crushed them and chewed them. Then she carefully applied them on the child's wounds. Then she helped to wipe away the child's tears and nose, and repeatedly asked him if he was still in pain. The child exerted all his strength. He sniffed, forced a smile, put his hands on his hips, and said that his balls hurt... After that, they walked to Madam Hu's bun shop. The young man paid the bill and bought two meat buns. The little slug stood aside, greedy. , while subconsciously rubbing the redness and swelling on his forehead with his hand, he frowned, gritted his teeth and said nothing, just wiped away the two pieces of snot that were about to hang on his mouth, and handed the two hot buns to the little slug. Without saying a word, the child returned a meat bun to the boy, saying that he couldn't eat that much. Finally, the big one and the little one were walking on the street. The little slug shook his head and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious. The most delicious meat buns in the world are Mrs. Hu's meat buns." The boy holding the other bun held the child in one hand, waiting for the little slug to finish eating the bun, and then handed the bun in his hand over to him. The little slug was indeed not full, so he broke the bun in half and filled it with the filling. Most of them were on the boy's side. This time, the boy didn't start eating until he saw the boy eating. While eating, he said vaguely, "Chen Pingan, when I get rich in the future, I will give you half of all the good things. Wait, wait." When I grow up, I must be very rich. It doesn’t matter if I have copper coins in my pocket. I have a lot of gold and silver at home. I’ll keep half of it for you. I mean what I say!

The straw-shoe boy smiled and said yes, yes.

In fact, he didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, at that time, one of the Clay Bottle Alley boy and the little slug had only seen gold and had never really touched silver, and the other might not have seen silver yet, but had only touched copper coins.

Many years later, they left their hometowns, and then when they reunited again, the opening words were a slap in the face in full view of the public.

The little slug was still very happy after being beaten. But the person who hit him was very sad.

So no one knows why Mr. Qingxia Island Accountant, who later left Shujian Lake, felt that he would be strong if he ate two Chishuicheng steamed buns after meeting that weird old man on his way back home. in argument.

When he returned to Mud Bottle Alley that day, the little slug saw his mother, ran over to her, deliberately shuddered, made a face, pointed to his forehead where the herbal medicine had begun to reduce swelling, and said that he was running around. , accidentally kowtowed to the wall. But the woman who usually doted on her son the most just looked at the straw-shoe boy who looked awkward and hesitated to speak. She didn't complain at all and didn't give the boy a chance to speak. She knelt down and patted the dust off the child's body. , smiled softly and said it's okay, be careful in the future, walk slower and don't run around.

Chen Pingan put away his thoughts, lowered his head, picked up the iron tongs and gently fiddled with the charcoal in the basin.

In just an instant, Chen Pingan and Cui Dongshan were the first to notice something strange at the Patriarch Hall almost at the same time.

The next moment, the old scholar came outside the house with a bright smile. He stretched out his hand and pressed twice, "Sit down, everyone. Sit down. Everything is fine. Everything is fine."
