Sword of Coming

Chen Pingan and Xiao Mo ascended gradually.

Homesickness is nothing more than people and things from the hometown. Then the home-cooked dishes that the old cook can always make people feast on the table will always make the worries of the wanderers in other places come true.

On the steps of the mountain road, Zhu Lian was sitting, a girl in a pink skirt was standing, the old cook waved, and Chen Nuanshu, the master who had returned home, and Mr. Xiaomo who had returned to the mountain, gave a blessing from afar.

On the other side of the mountain gate behind him, Xianwei helped Zhu Yi boy to draw the dots, and the little incense stick stood on the shoulders of the Taoist priest with his hands on his hips, looking at the back of the mountain master, and muttering silently, the demeanor of the mountain master is really high. The lord's treatment of people is like a spring breeze...Zhu Yi boy was very moved, he raised his foot and stepped on the shoulder of the Taoist priest Xianwei, envious, and said Xianwei Xianwei, you are lucky, never thought that there are such heroes in the world A person with both sages and sages, President Pei really treats people with sincerity, Xianwei, you have to send it.

Chen Pingan asked in his heart: "With Taoism like you and Bai Jing, can you see Zhu Lian's true face under the cover of his face?"

Earlier, Chen Pingan mistakenly thought that the "face skin" made by Zhu Lian himself was just a Jianghu skill of Ouhua Blessed Land. Later, Chen Ping carefully studied the disguised skins presented by Zhu Lian, and realized that Zhu Lian used some kind of talisman similar to the one on the mountain. This method, supplemented by Wu Fu's true energy, which lingers on the face like a cloud and condenses, can "cover up the secrets" to a certain extent. The way, cannot be said to be more sophisticated, but more subtle. For example, Chen Pingan was still unable to detect Zhu Lian's subcutaneous "truth" on two levels in the previous Jade Realm, so this time he must ask Zhu Lian for advice. .

This means that in the blessed land of lotus flowers in the past, it only said that pure warriors set foot in cultivating immortals. Yu Zhenyi of the Hushan School of Songlai Kingdom may not be the first person in the true sense. Zhu Lian is the one who has a seniority in the world.

Xiao Mo replied: "If you observe with your heart, it's okay. It's just that Mr. Zhu doesn't want people to see his real face. It must be some unspeakable difficulties. Xiao Mo naturally doesn't want to spy on it without authorization. As for whether Bai Jing looked at each other without authorization." , so I offended Mr. Zhu, Xiaomo doesn't know for the time being."

Chen Ping'an looked strange, and said: "It is estimated that Bai Jing rarely held back his curiosity and did not investigate."

Xiao Mo asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that, Young Master?"

Chen Pingan said in a complicated mood: "It's meaningless if you don't talk about it."

To put it bluntly, looking at the two worlds, it seems that the only person who can make Chen Pingan take a few steps back involuntarily "against the enemy" is Zhu Lian who exposed his face and revealed the truth to others.

You know, on the other side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, together with the Great Patriarch Tuoyueshan and Wenhai Zhoumi, the Wild Fourteen Thrones never made Chen Pingan take half a step back.

When Chen Ping'an and Xiao Mo approached, Zhu Lian stood up and said with a smile, "I'm busy preparing dinner, and the young master will be back."

The girl in the pink skirt asked in a low voice: "Master, didn't the rice grains go home together?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "She and Zhang Lv Changming took the Fengyuan ferry home together. I got off the boat with Senior Song of the Shushui Kingdom in the Old Dragon City and walked a section of the landscape together. After that, I and Song The senior parted ways, hurry up, but came here first. Wait a moment, Xiaomo, can I trouble you to pick up the right protector?"

What made Chen Pingan tirelessly specialize in this matter, there was the six-step walking pile of Shaking Mountain Fist before, and now it is the sword light escape method that Ning Yao can understand at a glance and can be proficient in.

The sword light is gorgeous, as if the rosy clouds are scattered into a beautiful sky. In the night, the bright moon is gathering snow, and the moonlight is like snowflakes. There is a very appropriate metaphor, the stupid bird flies first.

Xiaomo smiled and nodded, "Okay."

As soon as we talked about millet grains, Xiaomo, who was already gentle, became even more gentle.

Chen Pingan joked: "Dinner, dinner, dinner later, we can wait for Xiaomo and the right protector to come back together. By the way, we will say hello to Xianwei and the right protector of Qilong Lane, and have dinner together."

Xiaomo hurried on his way, and rushed to the gate of the mountain first, inviting Xianwei and Zhu Yitong to go to Mr. Zhu's house for dinner, and then go up the mountain in about half an hour. After that, Xiaomo disappeared in a flash, and traveled thousands of miles in an instant. If there was a sea of ​​clouds as a ferry, the sword light would be even more swift. Liu Xiazhou is probably far inferior. Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an couldn't help coveting this kind of immortal ferry, which is said to be the fastest in the world. I don't know when Luopo Mountain will have a Liuxia boat? However, Liuxiazhou seems not to be suitable as a long-distance commercial ferry, as it consumes too much immortal money. It is mostly used by top sects as a facade, such as holding celebrations, and specially picking up certain mountaintop monks with high morals and status.

In Zhu Lian's house, Chen Pingan had nothing to do, so he sat on a bamboo chair under the eaves, weaving an unfinished bamboo basket, and a rattan reclining chair next to it. Presumably, when there were no guests, the old cook would lie on his back. On the side of the rattan chair, you can enjoy the coolness in summer and enjoy the snow in winter.

Zhu Lian went to the kitchen, put on his apron, and started to get busy. It was rare for the young master to eat together, so he had to cook a hearty meal. Back then when he left his hometown blessed land with Xiao Heitan, Pei Qian wanted to "ask fists" with the four of them. Zhu Lian once said that he was the best at fighting among the cooks, and the best at cooking among the warriors. Qian Ge was so happy that he let Zhu Lian go, winning was boring, and the victory was useless. Later I heard that Zhu Lian had the reputation of "Zhu Lang Banished Immortal" and nicknamed "Young Master" in Jianghu, Pei Qian almost rolled on the ground laughing, those fairies and heroines in Jianghu must be so blind , You have to be so new to the world, and you have to have a lot of heart, to be able to call "Zhu Lang" face to face with the crooked old cook when you were young. It's better for Old Wei to be honest and talk about this in private. Thinking over and over with Pei Qian, Lao Wei said that he guessed that Zhu Lian was very rich at that time, young and rich, and he was a son of an official who had read a few books. Well, as soon as a man has money in his pocket and is a talented person, he looks handsome in the eyes of women. Pei Qian thinks it makes sense. Old Wei doesn't read much and has a lot of knowledge.

Chen Nuanshu sat at the side, with a soft voice, talking to his master about the current situation on the mountain and down the mountain.

In fact, the god of ear rewards on Luoba mountain, the famous right protector can only be ranked second.

The time of leisure and leisure always goes faster, unconsciously, about half an hour later, Xiaomo brought back Zhou Mili from the Fengyuan ferry, landed at the mountain gate, and called to Xianwei Daoist Going up the mountain to have dinner with Zhu Yitong, Zhou Mili jumped up the steps, his face full of joy, above his two thin and yellowish eyebrows, it was like two small benches, full of small people who went out to bask in the sun Son, either a relative or a neighbor, happy, happy, happy, happy, jumping for joy...

"Go home."

The boy in Zhu Yi walked over the mountains and ridges aside, and said cautiously: "Vice Steward Zhou, I have met with the Lord of the Mountain before, and we have spoken. The Lord of the Mountain has seen that I am diligent and hardworking, so he promised me For one thing, the establishment of the new Chief Guardian of Qilong Lane is finally on the horizon. If you are willing to recommend me to take up this position, what is Zhou Fuduo's idea? The position of Dharma Guardian has been studied for a few years, and I have accumulated more contacts and qualifications. Then I will take advantage of the opportunity to have dinner with the good mountain master today, and bite the bullet. Even if I am misunderstood by the mountain master, I don’t know. Anyway, it’s better than after I took office, I didn’t deserve my virtue, I didn’t do things well enough, and in the end I made Lord Shanzhu fall into the suspicion of not knowing someone well, then my crime will be serious.”

The officialdom is very complicated. It's not that once the top speaks, the bottom can sit firmly. It's true that you have a backing, and you need to work hard yourself.

Xian Wei rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

Why does it feel like I've been wandering the world for many years, and I've been mixed up with Zuo Dharma in Qilong Lane.

Zhou Mili slowed down, tugged at the rope of the cotton satchel, frowned, thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "We are a good mountain master, and we seldom personally recommend anyone for an important position. Do you have confidence in yourself?"

Zhu Yitong's face was full of light when he heard it, "Yes, why not, I will go through fire and water without hesitation,"

Not to mention the chief protector of Qilongxiang who only cares about a left protector, he has the confidence to be a new sub-rudder and small rudder master!

For example, in Zhoucheng, some cronies and confidants with excellent personal character and outstanding ability are all subordinates in Chuzhou Shanshui official circles. They have known each other for many years and know their roots and bottoms. Just like erecting a banner of a well-known general on the battlefield, he can immediately build a whole set of imitation six-part yamen, and he can pat his chest and feel his conscience to assure that the No. 7 and No. 8 minions under his command are all first-class elite soldiers Strong generals, capable ministers and officials, all of them are well-informed and quick in handling things. They only talk about collecting intelligence from various sources for the chief helm, and there is absolutely nothing to say.

It's just that this move, after all, is somewhat suspected of trespassing. Chief Pei and Deputy Chief Zhou knew about it in advance. How could Zhu Yi boy dare to move to the stage early? Those who achieve great things do not seek the public.

Just like Zhuyi Boy was secretly included in the Shanshui genealogy of Zhulou, and it was recorded in the book, but in fact, even the ancestor Lingjun, who is the minister of Luoba Mountain Conglong, has not been included in it so far.

Can you talk about this kind of thing? Don't you want to be beaten half to death by the ancestor Lingjun who can go to Luzhou in Beiju?

It is said that whether Patriarch Ling Jun can register his name on the genealogy is still in the stage of investigation. The key is that Vice-Headmaster Zhou once recommended him once, but he was dismissed, saying that it will be discussed in the future.

At a dining table, Chen Pingan was of course sitting at the head of the table, while Zhu Lian and Xiao Mo were sitting opposite each other.

Xian Wei took the initiative to invite Xiao Nuanshu to sit on a bench, Zhou Mili sat next to the old cook, Zhu Yi boy was the most special, he couldn't sit on the bench, so he could sit at the table, the little guy carried a fingernail-sized "Wine vat", just drink some glutinous rice wine.

On Luopo Mountain, Taoist Xianwei has a good impression of everyone, but he still likes the little warm tree the most, none of them.

The reason why she filed a complaint on Chen Ping's side before was because the confused Miss Xie had provoked Xiao Nuanshu.

Otherwise, why would Xianwei, who thought he had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, do such superfluous things that are easily hated by others.

After Chen Ping took his seat, he took a bowl of rice from Nuan Shu, saw that no one moved his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Don't just stand still, move your chopsticks, how polite you are here."

Chen Pingan first took a chopstick of spring bamboo shoots fried meat for Nuan Shu, and then steamed perch with apricot flower for Xiaomi Mili.

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "It's okay to say that bamboo shoots are available at home, but this apricot perch is rare. It is the first-class freshwater fish that ordinary immortals can't eat, or the young master personally caught a few fish in the Tiaobo River. We didn’t want to eat it, and kept it in the ice tray specially used to store the ingredients. We have such a good taste. This sea bass eats apricot blossoms all the year round, so the meat is so delicate, steamed That’s right, if it’s braised in soy sauce, it’s a bit wasteful, you all have a taste, if it’s delicious, it has nothing to do with my cooking skills, if you think the taste is mediocre, then I have to reflect on it.”

Chen Pingan laughed at himself: "It's not all about you, and we are reluctant to enjoy the blessings alone. Those of us who like fishing, after finally catching good things, why don't we go around the village twice?"

When he was a teenager, Liu Xianyang often did this kind of thing, and he even brought Chen Pingan together to walk back and forth between Xinghua Lane and Niping Lane. Looking back now, the embarrassment is really embarrassing.

Xiao Mili always eats food very quickly, upon hearing this, she immediately pretended to be chewing carefully, shook her head, and gave Zhu Lian a thumbs up, "It's delicious, it's really delicious! The old chef's craftsmanship is also the icing on the cake."

Xianwei just picked up a chicken leg, and he quickly picked up a big apricot perch with chopsticks. He has heard of this kind of freshwater fish for a long time. Try it? Things that I dare not even think about, what is the best thing to show off in the world, money.

Zhu Yitong was born as an incense villain. In fact, he has no interest in delicious food, and he can’t taste the taste anyway. Just because he often comes here to eat, Nuanshu specially prepared it for Zhu Yitong. It's just a small oil dish, and you can put a chopstick dish in it, compared to ordinary people, it is equivalent to a big table of meals.

Zhu Lian chatted about it, "Young master, there are quite a few families with the surname Chen who moved from Huaihuang County in Zhoucheng. It seems that they have just passed the new year, and now they are busy re-compiling the family tree. He beat around the bush and wanted to establish a relationship with the young master. Well, these news are all obtained by us, the right protector of Qilong Lane."

Zhu Yitong complained in a low voice: "This kind of trivial matter is also worthy of the old cook. You bring it to the dinner table and say it. You have belittled Luobashan and me."

The little guy is on the old cook's side, so he is not so rigid in his speech. First, Zhu Lian is easy to talk, and there is no taboo. Besides, although Zhu Lian is the big steward of the entire Luoluo Mountain, he is indeed a high-ranking and powerful person, but he can't control himself. The promotion of officials in Qilong Lane and Zhulou lineage, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, so it doesn't matter if this thigh is not hugged. It's outrageous to please everyone, which means not to please anyone, so as not to give Mr. Pei the impression of being a sycophant.

Xian Wei smiled and said: "Aren't you a fellow apprentice of Master Jia?"

Zhu Lian ignored the ungrateful boy in Zhu Yi, and continued to ask: "What should I do about this matter? Shall I go and say hello to the two yamen in the prefecture and county, and let them come forward to help stop it? Otherwise, those A notation maker who takes money to do things, can't write vaguely."

When the world was good, the profession of music maker was shady in the past, and most of them were poor literati without fame, who made a living by it, and only dared to make money secretly. Now it is different, in the southern part of Aquarius Island The countries are everywhere, and many of them have switched to this craft,

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, it's whatever you like."

Zhu Yitong decided to be a loyal minister of that bone, and remonstrated bravely: "My lord, you can't ignore this kind of thing. If you are not careful, the uncles and uncles in Zhoucheng are like bamboo shoots after the rain." , There will be a lot of people popping up overnight, of course they dare not come to Luopo Mountain to display the scores of the elders, but in the state city, there are too many people talking, and it is not good to spread it, Mr. Shanzhu, you If you can trust me too little, I will go down the mountain after dinner, and I will talk to Mr. Gao...all the town god's temples and land temples in the counties and counties below Gao Chenghuang, and there are my good friends everywhere, and they don't often communicate with Gaoping. , I still have a little friendship with me. After all, the relationship between the city and city gods has been taken care of by the small ones in these years, and they have done it by themselves. Very well, it’s not some kind of fake public benefit, let me speak up, and keep this unreasonable crooked trend that can be killed!”

Chen Pingan explained with a smile: "It's okay, you don't need to mobilize people like this. Some of them, my ancestors, are indeed related to each other. Distant relatives who don't communicate with each other are also relatives by name. If you are so One stop, it's easy to cut things across the board. I guess even these sects dare not ask people to write and revise the genealogy. They can't let them deliberately erase the names of my ancestors. If you want to go to Zhoucheng for this matter, and There is no reason for the two groups of Chen surnames to greet each other separately, anyway, there are not many family trees with their own surnames, so it is up to you whether there are more or less Chen surnames in other family trees."

Zhu Yitong was silent for a moment, then he said in a daze: "A good mountain master must be as big as a hundred Gaoping."

The little guy sitting cross-legged, fearing that Lord Shanzhu might misunderstand, quickly raised his arms and put his fingers together, "You can swear to the sky that you are not flattering!"

President Pei said that her master is unique and decent, so she dislikes the flattery of others the most in her life. She often teaches her, the great disciple who started the mountain, that if she wants to get along well in the world, she will be friends everywhere. Then you have to be honest, every saliva is a nail!

This kind of "Jianghu Cheats", which is hard to buy with a lot of money, is firmly in my heart, how dare the boy in Zhu Yi go in with one ear and out with the other.

Chen Ping glanced at Nuan Shu, and asked, did Pei Qian teach him?

The girl in the pink skirt pursed her lips and smiled, neither suing the master nor lying.

Chen Pingan has a habit, as long as he is on the Luopo Mountain side, drinking never delays his meal. In his own wine shop in Jianqi Great Wall, there is often a bowl of wine and a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

Xiao Mo said: "My lord, I heard that Bai Chang from Luzhou in Beiju started formal retreat not long ago."

Chen Pingan asked with a smile, "Who is the protector? Is there any news?"

Xiaomo shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Bai Chang, the number one Sword Immortal in the North, has been in the Immortal Realm for many years.

What's more, Baishang and Tian Wan from Zhuyu Peak in Zhengyang, Zou Zi's junior sister,

If it wasn't for Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan's interference, it is estimated that Bai Chang's ascension state, although it did not come from the right path, is equivalent to calculating the luck of the entire Aquarius Island for nearly a thousand years of swordsmanship, but at least Baishang's swordsmanship will be more pure , the future achievements in swordsmanship will only be more lofty. In the final analysis, good and evil are the human heart, but not the heart of heaven.

Chen Pingan said casually: "Either Bai Chang hired a trustworthy immortal who is good at fighting to help guard the pass, or this is false news. In fact, Bai Chang has already ascended to the Ascension Realm, and he is waiting on the sidelines, deliberately waiting for someone to come back." People go to ruin their good deeds."

Because of the relationship with Xu Xuan, the only direct disciple, Bai Chang had a very tense relationship with He Xiaoliang, the patriarch of Qingliang Sect, and even blatantly let out a very heavy and cruel sentence, making He Xiaoliang never even think about reaching the Ascension Realm in his life.

Then with He Xiaoliang's heart and means, if Bai Chang really retreats, he will never stand by and watch, and this Sect Master He's wrist is definitely not bad, and he is the best at judging the situation. When Chen Pingan set foot on the Luzhou Skeleton Beach in Beiju for the first time Well, the turmoil in the Ghost Valley, especially the attack by the ghost Gao Cheng in Jingguan City, was the result of He Xiaoliang seemingly doing nothing but doing everything. With He Xiaoliang's way of hospitality, of course Chen Ping'an was not polite to her, and soon reciprocated at the city of the car, and reciprocated.

If you want to practice Taoism in the mountains, if you want to be more pure, you should really not get too involved in the world of mortals.

"It's more likely to be a cover-up, the ecstasy array."

Zhu Lian laughed and said: "If I were a certain person, I would be afraid that Bai Chang was really retreating. This matter is not false at all, but Bai Chang is sure to break through the barrier and exit the barrier very quickly. This is the most troublesome thing. If you can't get in the way, you'll be left on the sidelines instead. During the period of retreat, breaking the way of others is one of the taboos on the mountain. Even if someone has Xie Shi as an ally, Xie Shi shouldn't stop Bai Chang once he strikes the sword this time. If someone is not careful, even if someone escapes this sword-chasing pursuit, the foundation of the sect that cannot be moved may be in danger."

Chen Pingan nodded.

However, Chen Ping's intuition told Chen Pingan that He Xiaoliang would definitely take risks to delay Baishang's breakthrough and ascend to the Ascended Sword Cultivator, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Xian Wei asked suspiciously: "Who is this person? It sounds very powerful, and it can disturb the retreat of a great sword fairy? Or is it equivalent to being an enemy of half a sword cultivator in the Ascension state? How much hatred and hatred are there to do this Endless mutual calculations?"

Zhu Lian smiled and didn't speak. Zhu Lian, who habitually sat cross-legged on the bench, raised his wine bowl and took a sip of wine.

Chen Pingan didn't want to talk more about it, so he changed the subject, "How is the lotus root blessed land going?"

Zhu Lian put down the white bowl and said, "It's a bit mysterious. I just said that not long ago in Songlai Kingdom, there was a local temple that was not built by the imperial court. The incense was worshiped, and finally the golden body was dyed and made to appear. Although the golden body of the water god is not high, according to the gold and jade genealogy promulgated by the Dali court today, it has just entered the rank of Qingliu. Officials, although they are incomparable in rank with those mountain gods and water gods, it is the first time in a blessed place that a deity who has not been consecrated by the imperial court receives the incense of the people and then manifests in a golden body."

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "If there is one thing, there will be another one. It is indeed a great thing."

Xian Wei was stunned, "What?! You still have a private blessed land in Luoba Mountain?!"

Chen Pingan, Chen Dashanzhu, you can really pretend to be poor. No matter how rich you are, you have to learn how to walk at night like that brocade clothes, and high-ranking officials ride skinny horses.

Besides, this kind of thing is also hidden from me, thinking that I am a fake Taoist priest who has not conferred the ultimatum, so treat me as an outsider, right?

Chen Nuanshu smiled and corrected softly: "Daoist Xianwei, we are us."

Xianwei said with a resentful smile: "Yes, yes, it is us, we are Luoposhan."

Zhu Yitong raised his fingers again without anyone reminding him, "I swear that I will keep everything I heard at the dinner table today in my stomach, and I will keep my mouth shut when I walk out of the mountain gate!"

Xianwei thought for a while, with his status as the gatekeeper of Luoluo Mountain, and his superficial Taoism in Aquarius Island, if he went to that blessed place, wouldn't he have to pretend to be a Taoist priest and a fairy? That's right.

Chen Pingan asked: "Over the back mountain, how is Cao Yin's training and Cao Yang's learning of boxing going? Are they going well?"

Zhu Lian nodded and said: "Cao Yin has good aptitude. Although she has not broken through, she has already touched the bottleneck of the Sea Viewing Realm. Cao Yang has strong roots, is willing to endure hardships, and is quick to learn boxing. She will soon reach the fifth realm of martial arts. It is a material that can be made, if it is possible, I think Cao Yin can actually practice martial arts seriously."

"When Cao Yin becomes a monk's golden core or a martial arts golden body in the future, he can still make a choice. If he goes a step further, he can be like the young master, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his body and a mouthful of pure true energy. They parted ways, but in fact they reconciled with each other and formed a pattern where the lake water does not interfere with the river water, it is Cao Yin's fortune."

If a Qi trainer wants to learn martial arts at the same time, and achieve success in his studies, so as not to go astray, there are two extremely difficult thresholds to cross. In addition to his own aptitude is enough, in addition, he must either have a unique family background, or be able to Find a teacher who has a master to guide, and at the same time, there is a whole set of self-introduced mental methods and Taoist secret books in the fairy mansion as assistance, both of which are indispensable. In this way, let alone Aquarius Continent, even if you look all over Haoran Tianxia, ​​there are not many such mountain gates, it can be called one of the few.

Even Luobashan, his own family, dare not say that he has found a stable path.

How can others learn from my son's way of climbing high?

Another example is Zhongqiu, who is now not only a pure martial artist who travels far away, but also a hidden golden elixir, and a Confucian Qi trainer in the strict sense. way to go.

But Zhongqiu's practice path is still difficult to be imitated by others, because it is too particular about the state of mind. In the old days in Ouhua Blessed Land, the national teacher Zhongqiu has already been hailed as "Wuzongshi Wenshengren". Chen Pingan intentionally puts Cao Qinglang next to Zhongqiu, which is in itself a kind of Mr.'s expectation for the proud students. He hopes that Cao Qinglang will be better than blue. On a road that Mr. is doomed to be unable to move forward half a step, students can go further.

Chen Pingan said slowly: "I had a fist fight with Ye Yunyun at the Banxian Peak of Xiandu Mountain, and she didn't deliberately hide her secrets, so Pushan Yuncaotang was transformed from the mysterious boxing methods of those immortal pictures, I still know a little bit, and Ye Yunyun's Yuncaotang has always opened up a lot of doors, except for the traditional boxing techniques of the Zushitang, which cannot be passed on to outsiders, and is willing to pass on boxing to martial arts from all walks of life in the continent. In addition, I have some experience, which I just plan to do in the near future. Compiled into a book, the copy may be sent to Ye Yunyun in the future, and our Qingping Sword Sect is now an ally with Pushan. I believe that as long as the disciples of Pushan's genealogy travel to Aquarius Island, they will definitely visit Luobashan. As a bridge, the principles of boxing are naturally similar, and the two sides can improve each other's martial arts. Now I am worried that Cao Yin's martial arts is late, and the true meaning of this set of boxing techniques I have figured out is not perfect after all. When a person walks into the Patriarch Hall through the side door, it's easy to turn a tiger into a cat, and if one is not careful, it will delay a good seedling."

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "My lord, just rest assured to teach boxing, I'll just watch over the rest of the matter."

Chen Pingan raised the wine bowl, "Go one."

In fact, Cen Yuanji has been walking this path for a long time, but Zhu Lian taught boxing and preaching, the way is too obscure, so she has been kept in the dark.

This is also the fundamental reason why Cen Yuanji, who is obviously talented and diligent in boxing practice, is not able to break through quickly.

One must know that Zhu Lian's own boxing technique, in Ouhua Blessed Land, is famous for its speed of breaking through the realm.

Chen Pingan also sees through this, but it is a good thing for Cen Yuanji anyway, a pure martial artist, the better the foundation is, the higher the achievement will be.

First there is Cen Yuanji, then there is Cao Yin. Zhu Lian intends to use more successful cases to help Laopo Mountain pave a brand new climbing road. There are fewer passes on the road, the threshold is getting lower and lower, and the road is getting wider and wider. .

You can't really think that he is just an old cook wearing an apron. Cooking three meals a day by himself doesn't take much time, so you have to find something to do.

Xianwei asked curiously: "Master Chen, the Ye Yunyun you are talking about, but Huang Yiyun from Tongyezhou?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "It's her. Why, have you heard of the Taoist priest Xianwei?"

Xianwei grinned and said: "I once wandered around a ferry of a fairy family. I heard that this great master of female martial arts likes to walk down the mountain in yellow clothes. She has good boxing skills and looks better. Lord Chen, this In a duel, is it a win or a loss?"

A few years ago, when I was still wandering in the rivers and lakes, I discovered that there were only a few monks in Aquarius Continent who had a bad reputation in Tongye Continent, and only a few people would have a few good words. The suzerain Great Sword Immortal Wei Ying, the old fairy Lu Yonglu of Qingjing Mountain, then the majestic and powerful Empress Yao Jinzhi of Daquan, and then the legendary Huang Yiyun with peerless beauty.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "It's a tie."

Zhu Yitong suddenly said: "That means winning."

Xianwei asked in confusion: "How did you come to the conclusion?"

Zhu Yitong looked at the idiot's eyes, "Master Shanzhu has always had a style of belittling himself and praising others. I still need to ask? Daoist Xianwei, what's the matter with you? Otherwise, you can teach Mr. Pei to be like this in the arena. A well-known good apprentice?"

Chen Pingan felt that there was an opportunity to remind Kaishan University disciples a few words, just tout his master like this, I would be ashamed if you don't blush.

Although Xiaomi Mi didn't chat much, she must be the happiest one.

When the good man Shanzhu is not at home, we gather to eat together at the old cook's side. It is lively and lively, and we don't feel deserted. But when the good man Shanzhu is not there, it seems that something is wrong after all. I don't know why. Anyway, the good man Shanzhu is at home. It's the best.

Xiao Mo said suddenly: "Xie Gou, I'll take care of it."

Zhu Lian smiled strangely.

Xianwei is used to eating with a bowl, so he raised his head now, solve it? It sounds so weird, if it wasn't for Mr. Xiaomo, and someone else said this kind of thing, Xian Wei would have thought it was a murderous Jianghu slang.

Chen Ping joked: "Forget it, you can't beat them, and you will definitely not be able to drive her away if you rush. If you really make her anxious, Miss Xie will dissociate herself from you and Luoposhan, and simply pay for it out of her own pocket. Buy a house in the small town and settle down, or if she is more ruthless, she will buy one of the three hills near Luopo Mountain, Tiaoyu Mountain, Fuyaolu and Tiandu Peak, and become our neighbors, and then she can justify her name, Sitting on the roof every day, staring wide-eyed at the scene on the Luopo Mountain side, does this make sense to you?"

Xiao Mo was devastated for a moment, and with Bai Jing's style, it was not a possibility, but a certainty.

Xiaomi Li immediately grasped the key point, "It turns out that Miss Xie, who just arrived, is so rich?"

Now who wants to buy a certain mountain in the western mountains, the price is not cheap!

When Pei Qian was still a little black charcoal, she was thinking about saving money all day long. One day, she wanted to buy the Tiandu Peak, and she didn't even frown, and the other party asked for a price.

After saving enough immortal money, he first secretly bought Tiandu Peak, and then told Master about it on a certain day in a certain year, in order to give Master an even bigger surprise.

As for which day it was and why it was bigger, Pei Qian didn't tell Zhou Mili.

Now Zhou Mili felt that she was naive at that time, asking Pei Qian every few days how many coins were missing, which annoyed Pei Qian. As a result, for a long time, Pei Qian was not willing to take her with her. But the grievances of Zhou Mili were broken, and those piggy banks kept by sister Nuanshu, Pei Qian ignored her for a day, and she didn't add soldiers to her family's gold and silver mountains for a day, and then somehow Pei Qian took the initiative to accompany her to patrol the mountains Once there, she hurriedly brought a "Little Qianshan" camped out into the capital that day, and successfully joined forces!

Chen Ping said with a smile: "He is indeed a very big local rich man."

Xiaomo is full of helplessness, Bai Jing is indeed rich, and they are about the same age in Ascension Realm, in terms of family wealth and ability to make money, Bai Jing may be second only to the "scholar" who once worked with the accountant "scholar" and made money in partnership. Somebody with money.

Chen Ping turned around and asked, "Xiaomo, why didn't she go up the mountain with you today?"

Xiao Motou said in pain: "She was busy posting notices all over the town. Before that, she often went to Fulu Street and Taoye Lane. She felt that there were many rich people there, so the notices were torn off, and she posted them again overnight. As a result, two days ago at Taoye Lane, he was caught straight and almost got beaten up."

The other party heard that she was a clerk at the New Year's Eve shop in Qilong Lane, so he didn't bother with her.

Zhu Lian said with a smile: "If you really want to fight, it will be a few pushes at most. Miss Xie will definitely not fight back, maybe you will accidentally sprain your feet, or hit the wall, and then return to Qilong Lane with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Let Xiaomo take a good look at how much he has been wronged outside."

Xiao Mo smiled helplessly. This kind of thing, today's Xie Gou, can really do it.

It can't be said that she was just joking. In the final analysis, Bai Jing, like Xiao Mo, used some kind of ancient secret technique to separate out a "smaller Bai Jing" with a relatively single personality.

After Xian Wei heard about this incident, his impression of the girl in the sable hat changed a lot, so he gave a thumbs up to Miss Xie for being so willing to make money, and called her Daoist friend.

In the eyes of Taoist Xianwei, who is used to living a poor life, the most helpless thing in the world is just two words, no money!

Chen Pingan glanced at his gatekeeper, feeling complicated.

You have no money now, but the first coin in the world, if the Confucian Temple's records are correct, it seems that you minted it yourself.

At the beginning, as the way money to enter the Lizhu Cave, it was purchased with the Dali court in exchange for three gold and fine copper coins, namely, Yingchun, offering, and pressing. I don't mention it myself, but I only say that the copper coin itself is excellent in style, and has long been highly praised by everyone in the famous spring of Baopingzhou. However, on top of this kind of carved mother money, there is still a more "unique" ancestral coin, the ancestral coin of Xuehuaqian , it must be at the Liu family's home in Aiaiazhou. As for this "qi trainer", what kind of appearance he chooses to show others has always been a mystery.

In the old prison on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, beside the criminal officer Hao Su, there were two maids following him. They had the status of master and servant, but they were more like fellow Taoists who practiced on their own.

Chen Pingan met them for the first time, at the bank of a stream, there was a woman making clothes and a maid who washed yarn. The former is the current Luoluoshan Zhanglu Changshou, she is the incarnation of the ancestral money of gold and copper coins, and the latter is now the grand master of Haosu. The maid beside disciple Du Shanyin, whose pseudonym is Ji Qing, is the incarnation of the ancestral money of the world's grain rain money.

It's just that Changshou and Jiqing are still far away from the first coin "Zuquan" in the world in terms of age.

Before raising the rank of lotus root blessing land, in the process of throwing down the fairy money like rain, Zhang Lv Changshou was the sharpest, and because of the blind date on the road, she was the first to discover a problem that could not be revealed in the picture scroll of mountains and rivers. It was an ethereal woman in the "Human World" of the blessed land. At that time, she was stealing books in a scholarly family on the border of the Northern Jin Kingdom. This woman was temporarily named "Scholarly" by Ji Sefeng. The whole world's literary and scholarly fragrance is condensed, and she belongs to a certain sense of Dao manifested. There are several worlds, a total of seventy-two blessed lands, and there are well-documented ones. Together, it seems that only ten have appeared. Seven similar existence.

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Recently, I have received a lot of invitations on the mountain. They are all kindly inviting you to go outside, my lord. There are all kinds of excuses and excuses. They can almost be compiled into a book. In short, there are all kinds of strange reasons. There are many. I don’t care about the sects of Immortal Mansion who don’t have any friendship at all, and some monarchs under the mountain in the south. As for those who are familiar with us in Luoluo Mountain, as long as the matter is not urgent or serious, I will take the initiative to help the young master and decline it. For the rest, I will write back a letter, saying that the mountain owner is traveling far away temporarily and needs to be decided by the mountain owner himself. Those invitations have been collected. Later, I will let Nuan Shu move to the bamboo building. A small basket, the most important of which is Yes, I put them all at the front, and you can look through them when you have time."

People who practice the Tao, if they spend too much energy on these things, not to mention wasting their time, they will easily consume their minds and exhaust their minds.

Chen Pingan nodded, took a sip of wine with a bowl, and said softly, "Maybe for Luoluoshan and me personally, it's just a lot of troublesome confidential letters and invitations, but for most senders For the masters who sent out the invitations, no matter what their respective reasons are, it can be roughly confirmed that for them, it must be a rare and important event, otherwise they would never send letters to Ji Sefeng Jianfang easily, so we You can decline the invitation, but don’t think the wording on the invitation is ridiculous.”

Zhu Lian immediately restrained his expression, and said in a deep voice: "This kind of heart-to-heart talk, only the young master can say it!"

Chen Ping originally wanted to tip a rolling word, but saw Nuan Shu nod vigorously, and Xiaomi Li started her signature silent applause.

Xianwei was very sincere and deeply appreciative, and Zhu Yi boy felt that he had heard some sages' teachings, but hated that he had no paper and pen at hand.

There are only a few people at a dining table.

So Chen Pingan had to swallow that word back.

Xianwei asked curiously: "Why didn't Baixuan return to Luopo Mountain together? What did he do in Xiazong Xiandu Mountain?"

Chen Lingjun and Bai Xuan are both very familiar with Xianwei, but they are still a bit different. Chen Lingjun likes to ask questions about his health, eat melon seeds and chat, while Bai Xuan doesn't talk much. It is said that he goes down the mountain every morning and returns to the sword worship platform in the evening. They all carry a purple clay pot filled with wolfberry tea. Every time I come to the gate of the mountain, I ask Taoist Xianwei for some advice. It is obvious that I want to lay the foundation for my future travels down the mountain. My master, I have worked so hard to practice swords. , isn't it just trying to be an invincible swordsman, so that the spectators next to him will applaud.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "This uncle stayed there to practice swords. Now it means that someone is urging him to break through. He will not return to the sword worship platform for the time being. It is estimated that he must be at least at the Dragon Gate level before Bai Xuan is willing to take the initiative to move, otherwise he will have no face to come back."

After dinner, Nuan Shu and Xiaomi Mili helped clean up the dishes.

Chen Pingan left Zhu Lian's house, went outside the bamboo building, and sat alone at the stone table by the cliff.

Huimeng Mountain in the north, and Chen Pingan, who was facing the outside of the cliff, turned his head and looked at the moment. The Tiandu Peak on the left is a close neighbor. It is closer to Luoba Mountain than Tiaoyu Mountain and Fuyaolu Mountain, but it covers a vast area. The Huimeng Mountain has been acquired by Luopi Mountain and has become a vassal mountain, but this Xiandu Peak, which has a great name, has always been owned by a central Xianfu whose mountain gate background is similar to that of the Huangliang Sect. The peak is different. They never communicate with Luopo Mountain. There are not many monks in the mountain. There are only a dozen or so people. Dandy Sin.

If it is the monks of the two mountains, each standing on the top of the mountain looks at each other, and the Luopo mountain is higher.

Therefore, Xiandu Peak does not hinder the wide view of the top of Luopo Mountain. Chen Ping'an turned into a dozen sword lights, came to the top of the mountain, stood on the railing, with his hands wrapped around his sleeves, looking at the small town in the east. The lights were dim, and Chen Pingan had a panoramic view of those streets and alleys.

In the past, in the small town, young and strong men, and some old bachelors, were very happy to take the mud bottle alley, even if they took a detour. As for the peers who are about the same age as Chen Pingan and Song Jixin, they are actually not willing to walk in Niping Alley. Occasionally passing by Niping Alley, I don’t know if it was taught by the elders in the family or they thought it up on their own. Speaking words similar to a family reunion. One scolded the two, one was an orphan who killed his parents, and the other was an illegitimate son who was said to be an illegitimate child left outside by Song Duzao, no wonder they would get together as neighbors.

Every Chinese New Year’s Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, as well as during the Ching Ming Festival, every family and every family in the town will have their own common ancestor’s graves that need to be worshiped and offered incense. The Chen surname in the small town, of course It's not a common surname, and it's not among the four surnames and ten clans on the other side of Fulu Street and Taoye Lane, but it has several branches. When Chen Pingan was young, he used to go to the grave with his father to worship his ancestors, and there was an established route. After his parents passed away, he also went to the grave along the route in his memory alone with a plate and a red paper incense stick. When I was bumped into by someone one time, those men surnamed Chen who were originally called Mrs., Uncle, or Uncle according to the folk seniority all had ugly expressions on their faces, but because of the ancestral rules passed down from generation to generation, they did not stop the descendants from giving to their elders. The reason why the ancestors went to the grave to hang the paper, after all, did not say anything bad, but one year on the first day of the first lunar month, Chen Pingan found that the paper hanging on yesterday's New Year's Eve had disappeared. Throw it into the field below the grave mound.

Regardless of being sad, the child jumped down from the ridge of the field, and carefully picked up the discarded red paper. He was at a loss for a while, wondering if it would be a taboo to put the paper in his hand under the gravestone again, but if he just took it home , and worried about breaking the rules.

The helpless child just stood alone in the field for a long time, not angry, just empty in his heart.

After that year, Chen Pingan only went to visit the graves of his parents.

Between the fields, between heaven and earth.

Chen Pingan sat on the railing, took out the Yangjian gourd, raised his head and took a sip of the wine.

Zhu Lian's house, Xiaomo, Xianwei, and Zhu Yitongzi all stayed behind.

When he had nothing to do, Zhu Lian brought a chess pot and played chess with Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo learned chess very quickly, and his chess skills were as fast as a bamboo, and he reached a level every day.

Zhu Yitongzi was about to sit on a chess piece that was lifted from the chessboard.

Xianwei smiled and picked up a chess piece from the chess jar, and put it beside the table. The boy in Zhu Yi asked what it was, and Xianwei laughed and said that you are the only one who talks too much nonsense.

What kind of onion are you, dare to be so presumptuous with the new chief protector of Qilongxiang? As for the rebellion, Zhu Yitong and Taoist Xianwei began to quarrel and quarrel.

Xianwei thought of Huang Yiyun again, and asked in a low voice: "Old cook, how beautiful do you think that Master Yeshan is... Do you think we will be tempted if we see her?"

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "Probably not."

Xianwei sighed: "Everything is good here, except that there are few strange women."

Zhu Lian groaned, "It kinda rhymes."

Xianwei tugged at his collar, "If Xiaodao hadn't had a high vision, how could he be single until now."

Zhu Yitong laughed loudly, "Just you? Xianwei, Xianwei, if you grow old one day, you will have the face of the old cook, and you may not be as kind as the old cook."

Zhu Lian laughed and said, "What are you doing with me?"

Zhu Yitong pretended to burp and turned the page.

The moonlight in the spring night, the light clouds and mist, are always the places where young people enjoy themselves. It's a pity that the old man is not young, and Taoist Xianwei is a little worried before he has a place to go. He can't be alone all the time. Look at this old cook, he is a bad example.

"A talented man occupies the field of poetry, and he is really a gentleman in white clothes. A prodigal son walks in the flowers, always a flirtatious man."

Zhu Lian twisted the chess pieces with one hand, scratched his head with the other, and said with a smile: "Time is the most rascal in a hurry, with a young man who turned his head white, and Zhu Yan also resigned from the mirror, and secretly exchanged for cherry red and banana green."

Xianwei chewed his meaning, and asked tentatively: "Old cook, when you were young, didn't you also have some sentimental stories about men and women?"

Zhu Lian said solemnly: "An honest gentleman who has read the books of sages will not fight with women casually."

Xian Wei laughed and said, "Like me, like me."

Zhu Yitong laughed until his stomach ached, "Like Gao Ping, you both are alike."

By coincidence, the three of them looked at Xiaomo at the same time, and Xiaomo felt helpless and said: "I also like it, I also like it."

When Chen Ping returned to the bamboo building, he found that Nuan Shu was guarding the door, and said with a smile, "I have the key."

Chen Nuanshu was stunned intentionally, and Chen Pingan smiled, "It's all right, I just came into the room to sit for a while."

The first floor of the bamboo building is spotless.

There is a pot of green calamus on the desk. It is not a fairy, but a warm tree that was relocated from the stream in the mountain in the early years, and it has been well taken care of.

In the past, the god of Jiuyi Mountain, in order to congratulate his husband on restoring the Confucian Temple, he also presented a pot of calamus, but it is Wenyun calamus, of course it is not an ordinary thing. A drop of water the size of a fingernail can be condensed. This pot of Wenyun calamus was donated by Chen Pingan to the girl in the pink skirt. Now she is in charge of taking care of it carefully. Half of the Wenyun pure water drops are left in the blessed land of lotus roots, and the remaining half is let Chen Nuanshu put it into the ruins. In the mountain streams, the river flows far away, the Longxu River, the Tiefu River... just because it is a small stream of cultural gain, there is no possibility of immediate results, so the price of calamus in Jiuyi Mountain will not change on the mountain. The sky-high price, of course, those pots of calamus with a "dao age" of 3,000 years have to be calculated separately.

Chen Pingan took out stacks of books from the things close at hand, and they had already been sorted into different categories. They were placed in different positions on the bookshelf together with Nuanshu. , exactly the same, both have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but Chen Pingan is not as serious as the latter.

Finally, Chen Pingan gave Nuan Shu a stack of books. The girl in the pink skirt holds the book in both hands and bows to express her gratitude.

Nuan Shu planned to leave without disturbing the master to rest.

Chen Ping moved a chair over and said with a smile, "Read a book with me."

She put the book on the table for the time being, and picked up another book, one big and one small, and read together.

Chen Ping suddenly smiled and said, "It's good that there are not many people on the mountain, Nuanshu doesn't need to be too tired."

Thinking about it this way, the matter of being poached by his own students made Lord Shanzhu feel better.

Otherwise, Cui Zongzhu thinks that certain things can be turned over here, heh, that would be too naive.

Chen Nuanshu hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Master, Cui Zongzhu sent me a letter, in which he said that you will be home soon, Master, and asked me to say hello to Mr. I made a list, wrote down your favorite dishes, Master, and finally at the end of the letter, told me not to tell Master about this matter."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Let's settle the score with him later."

Nuan Shu hesitated to speak, but Chen Pingan said: "So what if he guessed it, if he dares to say anything, dare to think, I will settle the score with him again. Forget it, forget it, I still don't want to embarrass you, I will pretend that I don't know anything have no idea."

Nuan Shu smiled shyly.

Chen Pingan laughed at himself for no reason: "Actually, I don't know how to be this gentleman. I'm worried, very worried."

Nuan Shu raised her head, thought for a while, and said with a sweet smile: "Master, anyway, Cui Zongzhu knows how to be a good student, so you can worry about it, but don't worry so much?"

Chen Ping was stunned, "That's right!"

There was only the sound of flipping books in the room, and Chen Pingan said casually, "Nuan Shu, are you anxious about the realm occasionally?"

Nuan Shu raised her head and blinked her eyes.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "I have to make a statement. I'm not urging you to practice. I'm just worried that you have an idea. I'm embarrassed to say it. I, the mountain owner, often go out and stay away from home all year round. It's really outrageous, so I thought Ask your thoughts, if you don't have such thoughts, then let it go, if you have, don't feel embarrassed, I will think of a strategy today, and I can start preparing tomorrow, and I promise to be safe. "

Nuan Shu quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "Master, no need."

Chen Ping smiled and rubbed her head, "Then don't worry."

Nuan Shu smiled brightly and continued to read with her head down.

Pei Qian, Cao Qinglang, Mr. Zhang, Cen Yuanji...everyone in Luopo Mountain.

The master actually sees it in his eyes and keeps it in his heart.

Of course, there is also that tired lazy guy who likes to slap his swollen face all day long to pretend to be fat.

Although the room on the first floor of the bamboo building is small, it has many treasures.

In addition to the "At that Time Post" presented by Wu Shuangjiang on the wall, in the Naiheguan market, a "sensible and honest" inkstone was presented by the little ghost, and there was also a piece of landscape and thinness presented by Lin Qingqing, a guest of the Qiu family in Yuzhou. The old pit field Huang Sui Xing Zhang. At this moment, Chen Pingan put them on the desk.

During the discussion period of the Confucian Temple, Zhang Zhi opened the Baozhai in Yingwu Island. Chen Pingan had no cash at that time, so he owed some debts with Liu Chicheng and Mrs. Yan Yan, and also bought some favorite things. As for all kinds of mountain treasures that should not be placed in the study room, there are not a few. For example, in Luzhou, Beiju, the Suoyun Sect raised Yunfeng. A military strategist Golden Crow Armor?

There is also the white jade Ganoderma lucidum sent by the immortal Yun Mo of the Nine True Immortal Pavilion.

In addition, in the Water Dragon School, Sun Jie, the patriarch of the Northern School, gave a pair of bull-roaring fish, and Shao Jingzhi gave a pair of gnats on the mountain, also known as Xiaomojiao, in the Southern School. Before Ye Zhou, he gave them respectively. There is also the "Junqingyuxiang" jade plaque that Li Yuan gave, unfortunately it has already been given to Fan Junmao, otherwise it will be given to Chen Lingjun as a congratulatory gift for the enshrinement and left guardian of Luopo Mountain, or as a congratulatory gift for Qingping Sword Sect The enshrined old lady Qiudu is a good choice as a gift in return.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Nuanshu read about half of the book, got up quickly, took the book and said goodbye, Chen Pingan said that he also wanted to take a walk, and sent her back to the house, only to find that Xiaomi Li was standing upright As the door god, Chen Nuanshu hurriedly apologized to her, Xiaomi Li grinned, and the two little girls waved goodbye to Chen Pingan together, and went to chat.

Chen Pingan returned to the bamboo building, sat on the stone table by the cliff again, pretended not to know, and after a while, turned his head to look, his face full of surprise.

Sitting next to the table was a little figure of a lotus flower, who just jumped out of the mud, then jumped onto the stone table, and finally jumped onto the stone table.

Chen Pingan smiled and put the little guy on his shoulders, and looked into the distance together. As usual, he told the little guy some interesting stories about this long trip.

One spoke carefully and the other listened patiently. Chen Pingan finally murmured: "I've gone home, nothing happened today."
