Sword of Coming

At Mao hour, the sky was slightly bright, the mountains were foggy, the air was fresh, and the morning dew condensed on the flowers and leaves. They were round and round, swaying, and they were ashamed to speak.

With a cotton parcel under his arm, Chen Pingan chose a path to the back mountain and walked alone, feeling relaxed and happy.

Stopping, Chen Pingan turned around and looked around. After a moment, he saw a stooped old man walking quickly, holding a flower branch in his hand. In the eyes of ordinary people, if Mi Jianxian does this kind of thing, it is romantic, but if the old cook in front of him does it, he is a little bit old and shameless.

Zhu Lian made a fist with one hand and put it against his abdomen. The hand holding the flower branch was wrapped around his back like a sword. He laughed at the top of his voice and said, "It's better to hurry up than to catch up. This is where I ran into the young master."

The young master always does things quietly and resolutely in the spring breeze.

I just said yesterday that I would teach Cao Yin and Cao Yang boxing, and I came here early this morning.

People in the world often mistakenly believe that traveling around the world is just walking on two legs, and wanderers leave their hometowns and travel to thousands of mountains and rivers.

In fact, it is not the case. Every time you think about something and achieve something, it is a long journey on the road of your mind.

Chen Ping'an stood on the side of the road, waiting for Zhu Lian to catch up, walking side by side, and asked: "There is no need to stop those outside visitors under the trees or climbing high?"

Both of them have the surname Zhao. One is Chen Ping'an's direct martial arts disciple, and the other is the eldest disciple of the blind Taoist priest Jia Sheng. They probably have similar temperaments, and because they have similar backgrounds, Zhao Shuxia and Zhao Denggao usually talk to each other better. Come on, plus Zhou Junchen, Tian Jiuer, Cui Huahuasheng and others from the two shops on the other side of Qilong Lane, it can be regarded as a small hill, but it is relatively less noticeable than the Shanzhulou lineage.

Zhu Lian nodded, "The government has secretly released news that outsiders are not allowed to approach Luopo Mountain casually. We in Chuzhou have strict inspection regulations. Once we go back and forth, we can help stop many wild cultivators who come here to seek enlightenment." , Wenquan Wufu didn't dare to complain. After adapting to it in the past few years, the rules of the Dali Imperial Court were really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, there are still monuments on the top of the ancestral mountains of each Xianfu sect. It’s not a joke.”

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Sure enough, the government's words are more effective."

Zhu Lian said: "I guess this is not the intention of the governor Wu Yuan, let alone the governors of Baoxi and Longquan. Officialdom is very particular, and I am worried that it is superfluous. Maybe it is..."

When Zhu Lian said this, he raised the flower branch and pointed to the sky.

It is the instruction of His Majesty Emperor Dali.

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "No surprise, it is a decree given to Wu Yuan by Song He."

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "I'm determined."

So Zhu Lian curiously asked: "Since His Majesty the Emperor is so sincere, he personally participated in the wedding banquet and invited the young master to come out in person. Why did the young master not agree to the Song family's appointment as the national advisor? Are there any concerns?"

In terms of both public and private affairs, and between emotions and reasons, it is a matter of public expectation for our son to succeed Cui Chun as the Great Li State Counselor. There is no doubt that both parties will benefit from the cooperation. Of course, in this case, the son will be distracted. There are too many things going on at the foot of the mountain. After all, the Da Li court is not a small country and occupies half of the Aquarius Continent. Zhu Lian is very familiar with the character and temper of the young master. If he really agrees to "come out and serve as an official", at least for a period of time, it will consume a lot of attention and effort. His energy is concentrated in Dali Jingcheng and the capital Luojing. At the same time, the one who will benefit the most is naturally the Emperor Song of Dali, because once the young master is willing to serve as the national teacher, he will be equal to the vassal king Song Mu. Unless the emperor takes the initiative to abdicate, The great power will be passed down from brother to brother, otherwise it would be impossible for Luo King Song Mu to go further.

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I have a lot of concerns."

Zhu Lian didn't ask in detail, "Then just take it slow and wait and see."

Looking at the cotton parcel under the young master's arm, Zhu Lianxiao asked, "Is it a gift for the double-walled man?"

Chen Ping'an explained: "They are some rare books given to Cao Yin. Qingtong from Zhenyao Tower is now the registered guest of Qingping Sword Sect. She previously gave many expensive rare books to Xiandu Mountain, so I will I selected some unique copies that have been classified as lost and scattered outside."

Zhu Lianxiao asked: "How many percent of the original books did the young master leave to Xiandu Mountain?"

Chen Pingan patted the old chef on the shoulder, "Be generous in your life and be magnanimous in your actions. Well, that's what I advised the proud student at the time. Dongshan listened, and he even asked more. There are more rare books left. , do you want to take more back to Luopo Mountain? Since the students are polite to the husband, why should the husband be polite to the students?"

Zhu Lian held back his laughter and said, "Sect Master Cui still respects his teachers very much on the young master's side."

Chen Ping'an said: "I already have a general framework for Nuanshu's 'leakage'. Last night I took the initiative to talk to Nuanshu about it, but she still didn't agree. She didn't want me to be distracted by these things. Nuanshu is You are so sensible, how can I bear to say a harsh word, haha, if it were Chen Lingjun, I would have pressed Chen Lingjun's head to the ground."

Zhu Lian laughed loudly. Maybe this is the difference between raising a daughter and raising a son?

Zhu Lian finally suppressed his smile, nodded, and said sternly: "One thing to say, Nuan Shu's breakthrough is indeed more difficult than Chen Lingjun's, much more difficult. Matters involving the illusory literary fortune are hard to come by. Xiao Nuanshu is most afraid of trouble others, so how could he agree to such a thing like this?"

Chen Nuanshu was the fire python incarnated in the literary fortune of the library in the past, but now he is in the Dragon Gate realm. Therefore, in the ordinary sense, it is meaningless for Nuanshu to be a water-born person who walks along the river and turns into a dragon.

The girl in a pink skirt and the boy in Tsing Yi who were the first to follow the young master actually have opposite personalities. One is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, the other is strong on the outside and soft on the inside. Chen Ling may not be considered soft at all, which is called a coward.

Chen Ping'an said: "So in addition to some arrangements on my side, I also need some external items. I plan to buy a pot of Wenyun Iris that is three thousand years old from Jiuyi Mountain. It just so happened that the God of Jiuyi Mountain invited Madam Blushing there. While being a guest, Shao Jianxian will definitely go with Mrs. Rouyan. There are only a few pots of this kind of Taoist calamus in total. It is the favorite of the God of Jiuyi Mountain. It is normal that he is not willing to sell it. It is not easy. Anyway, I They are all determined to win, and everything is easy to discuss, but since it is related to Nuan Shu's road, then we have to think about it separately.

If Shao Yunyan cannot reach an agreement with Jiuyi Mountain, Liu Jinglong and I will definitely visit Jiuyi Mountain when we travel to the Middle Earth Continent in the future. "

At this point, Chen Ping'an twisted his wrist and said with a smile: "Don't force me to take advantage of others and just drop the money and run away."

Now the leader of Luo Shanquan Mansion and the God of Wealth in charge of the treasury, Wei Wenlong, is still in the Golden Core realm.

Wei Wenlong is the direct disciple of Sword Immortal Shao Yunyan. Ever since they parted ways in Chunbanzhai on Hanging Mountain, master and disciple have never met again.

Chen Ping'an wondered whether he should let Shao Jianxian come to Luolu Mountain first.

Zhu Lian suddenly said: "Since I want to be the peacemaker for Aunt Feng and Baihua Blessed Land, I have to give you that colorful knot. I would like to trouble you next time you visit the Blessed Land, and help me verify something. What is mentioned in the book of ghosts and monsters?" Are you, the commander of the Flower Planting Temple, really in charge of the fragrance of flowers? These immortal officials of the Blessed Land are all women, but there are also male immortals. I sincerely ask you to pay attention to me..."

Chen Pingan agreed with a smile.

Zhu Lian said: "Sect Master Cui previously gave Cao Yin three Taoist secrets, which correspond to Cao Yin's sea-viewing realm, Longmen realm, and how to break the bottleneck of Longmen realm to form golden elixirs. Just the personal annotations by Sect Master Cui are as many as six thousand. From this, it can be seen that Cui Zongzhu is the real master of construction, with uncanny craftsmanship, and can use Cao Yin's small world as the foundation to build large-scale construction and tailor-made."

"Pei Qian, and Sui Youyou both taught boxing to the young girl Cao Yuan several times during the time when they were practicing at Jie Mao at Baijiantai."

Young Cao Yin, courtesy name Fengsheng, is a swordsman and a bottleneck in Guanhai Realm. The girl Cao Yang, nicknamed Wutong, is a peak martial artist in the four realms.

When Zhengyang Mountain held a sect celebration, as the most important guest, Cao Ping chose to leave early. The hunting envoy sent an obvious signal to the guests from all peaks, and it was not a hint. , but made it clear that the relationship between Zhengyang Mountain and the Dali Imperial Court was really ordinary.

Therefore, Dali is between Luopo Mountain and Zhengyang Mountain. If you have to make a choice, Cao Xunshou has already helped give the answer.

Through Guan Yiran's matchmaking, Chen Ping'an secretly reached a three-hundred-year-old alliance with the Cao family of Shangzhu Kingdom. All the Taoist monks and martial arts wizards from the Cao family could be sent to Luoluo Mountain to practice. If he opens his mouth, Chen Pingan can also help introduce him to other sects in other continents. At that time, the Cao family's children only need to bring a letter of recommendation from Chen Pingan, such as the Taihui Sword Sect in Luzhou in the north, the Dragon in the South Posuzhou in the future. Xiang Jian Sect. Now there are several more choices, including the Pushan Yuncaotang in Tongyezhou, the Chongxuan Department Yunxiao Palace of the Dayuan Dynasty in Luzhou, Beiju, and even the Demon Suppressing Tower in Qingtong. So Chen Ping'an planned to let Cao Yin communicate with the head of the family, Cao Ping.

Cao Ping must have left a channel of contact with Cao Yin. Otherwise, Cao Ping would have taken a fancy to this side branch of the Cao family. Even if Cao Yin was a swordsman, he would not be interested in Cao Ping, who had become the ultimate military minister in the Great Li Dynasty. In other words, it is nothing, but since Cao Yin has been chosen to practice in Luopo Mountain, it means that Cao Yin, a branch of the Cao family, will rise in status in the Shangzhu Kingdom as long as Cao Yin succeeds in his studies at Luopo Mountain. , unstoppable.

For a towering tree, some originally thick branches will rot and peel off in the wind and rain, while some slender branches will gradually grow into thick branches, and then grow and extend more branches with lush green leaves for future generations to enjoy the shade. It is the blessing of Zuyin.

Chen Ping'an and Zhu Lian arrived at the Houshan House. The door had been opened, and swords were gleaming in the courtyard.

Cao Yang was practicing an ancestral hob skill of the Cao family that was derived from battlefield martial arts in the courtyard that was opened as a martial arts arena. The hair on the girl's forehead was condensed into strips with sweat.

Stopping at the door, Zhu Lian laughed softly and said: "The little girl is so strong. No matter what stakes she learns or what weapons she uses, she is still practicing swordsmanship. It's like fighting against others, just rushing to kill people. "

Chen Ping'an said: "If you don't have the desire to win, why should you learn martial arts?"

According to Zhu Lian, the biggest difference between practicing martial arts and cultivating immortals is that with the same genius, Qi practitioners can enjoy blessings all the way and successfully break through the realm. With a few flashes of inspiration, they can jump up in the clouds and mist, and their realms will soar upwards. But martial arts are different. They don’t have such a good life. Even the more talented they are, the harder they have to endure. Otherwise, if they break through the realm too quickly and run up the mountain without stopping for too long at each step, their foundation will be unstable. The realm is really true. , the embroidered pillows are also genuine.

When Cao Yang saw the two figures at the door, she immediately sheathed her sword.

The girl looked panicked and at a loss.

Mr. Zhu is a frequent visitor to the house, and he is amiable, so he is not unfamiliar and feels close to him.

But that green shirt really made Cao Yang extremely nervous. She only met Chen Ping'an once when she arrived at Luopo Mountain. Furthermore, sword cultivators in the world can be hailed as sword immortals with the golden elixir on the mountain, but there are only a handful of martial arts masters in the world. Like Aizhou, a continent with few martial arts, there is only one person named Lei Gongmiao Pei Axiang. That’s all.

What's more, the young mountain master in front of him, who seemed to have a warm expression and gentle eyebrows, had personally taught a great disciple who was also the great master of the End of the Mountain.

He also went to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, where the swords were as strong as clouds, served as the last hidden official, and guarded the city alone for many years before returning home...

One after another, for Cao Yang, they are all things done by people in the world.

So in terms of awe, facing Chen Ping'an, who has countless identities, Cao Yuan must be much more respectful than his master Cao Yin.

The girl's state of mind at this time was like that of a child who was reading aloud and suddenly found a Confucian sage standing at the door.

If a martial arts practitioner who has not yet entered the palace encounters a great master who has reached heaven on the top of a mountain, he will of course regard him as a god.

Zhu Lian was not surprised that the girl was nervous and reserved, it was normal.

Chen Ping'an has also seen others like this.

Now others are looking at him like this.

It's like the mountains and rivers on the road of life are repeated, and I and the outside are each other's scenery.

Chen Ping'an crossed the threshold and reminded with a smile: "Cao Yang, just now you sheathed the sword, a breath of pure zhenqi gathered in your body, it seems there are more mistakes, starting from Hegu, to Piianli, Quchi, and then again, the speed is too slow , in addition, when the qi reaches Tianfu, it should pause for a while, so that the skin, flesh, qi, blood and muscles can be warmed and nourished. There must be water flowing around the mountain, from Lingfu to Lingxu, and then to Fu. Rabbit, Liangqiu and Xiajuxu need to work hard again to turn into a waterfall. The energy flows as fast as it can, creating a scene like a dragon hitting a deep pool and splashing thousands of layers of water. The Dazhong acupuncture point can sound like thunder and penetrate directly into the spring. Therefore, you just pursued a steady step and deliberately gathered a thin line of Qi movement, while abandoning the true meaning of the boxing method. This is naturally wrong. It seems that the boxing pile is stable. There is no meaning anymore. It is about seeking concentration within concentration, which is too rigid. If you can follow my suggestion, the true energy will flow into the Yongquan point, just like beating a drum with a fist hammer, and the Yongquan energy and blood will surge, just like a stone falling in the middle of a lake. , the water is mighty, don't be afraid of this kind of "chaos", you need to know that this is the meaning of a martial artist tempering his body, and it is also consistent with your Cao family's martial arts mentality. If you use this to seem like your energy is scattered, , the steaming clouds and rosy clouds generated by the surging waves, calmed down the mind, and quickly raised a breath of pure Qi, from releasing it to withdrawing it, just like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, climbing up layer by layer, reaching Guanyuan and turning to Sidu on the back. The Qi pauses for a moment, like a dragon pan, and integrates the sword skills into Cao's mind. Control the true Qi like a dragon rolling the wall, just like charging into the battlefield, ready to go, and then the iron cavalry switches out. At this time, you need to use your sword skills. In the method, imagine moving up and down to the front and back. Visualize one person holding a sword and thousands of horses chiseling into formation on the flat ground, rushing to the sun, along the Shinto, passing through the Feng Mansion like knocking on the door, climbing high like walking on the flat ground, and finally returning to the divine court. "

Cao Yang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and sweat dripped from his forehead, as if it was more tiring than practicing swordsmanship.

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "Don't remember? Then I'll say it again."

Chen Pingan repeated it again, and Cao Yang held his breath and concentrated on it, remembering everything word for word.

Chen Pingan stood on the spot and said with a smile: "I will demonstrate it again, and it will slow down the speed of the flow of Qi. You are not mature enough at the moment, and you will definitely not be able to explore the flow of my Qi. It's just to see what it means, just like we laymen look at calligraphy and painting. It’s hard to tell the reason for the real thing, but you have to understand the good and the bad. In the future, when you go down the mountain to practice, you will definitely see people punching, and the same is true, first look at the intention and then think about it.”

When Chen Ping'an was speaking, he stretched out one hand as if to hold a knife, then moved one step further, just like Cao Yang had put away the knife before, and all the details were exactly the same.

Cao Yin had also walked out of the house and stood under the eaves of the corridor, not daring to disturb Master Chen's "preaching and teaching" to Cao Yang.

Zhu Lian quietly came to Cao Yin, squatted on the steps, and laughed softly: "You kid, don't imitate blindly. This is a route specially set up by our mountain master for Cao Yuan. The martial arts energy flows like a pedestrian, and the direction of the road is consistent." The pace of your steps is very particular. Cao Yang can take it over immediately and learn and use it now, but if you follow the gourd's instructions, you will only have mishaps everywhere, and your internal organs will be harmed if you are not careful."

Cao Yin smiled shyly. No wonder he immediately felt suffocated just after trying to follow Shanzhu Chen's "Guidance Technique".

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "If you really want to learn boxing, you can ask the mountain master for advice yourself."

"But don't worry about it at all. The demons cannot tell the truth. My mountain master has a rare opportunity to teach boxing to others. It is not only hard to buy for a lot of money. Cao Yin, you can give it a try. The first to get the moon is the one who is near the water."

Cao Yin shook his head and said, "It's hard to chew off more than you can chew. It's hard to practice Qi and martial arts at the same time. I don't dare to make such unreasonable demands and waste Shanzhu Chen's precious time."

Looking at the man in green shirt's calmness, then looking at Cao Yuan's face full of surprise as he realized something, and finally looking at Shanzhu Chen gently nodding his head, as if he approved Cao Yuan's drill.

The young man thought to himself that this was probably the style of the legendary master.

Chen Ping'an laughed and said: "Just talking and listening is of no use. Practicing boxing while walking in a quiet place. No matter how hard you work to strengthen your body and become proficient in moves, it will just be like an empty lecture given by an old scholar in his study. There is no real skill. Without a lot of sparring and actual combat, no matter how you learn thousands of brilliant boxing moves, or you are still using your fists and embroidering your legs, you will easily fall to the ground with just a few punches when you meet those martial artists of the same realm who don’t have many moves but can combine the principles of three or two boxings into their true meaning. Yang, why don't you and I join hands?"

Cao Yang's face turned red.

She really didn't dare.

Zhu Lian teased softly: "It's because the little girl is thin-skinned. If it were Bai Xuan, he would have already rushed towards the mountain master with a loud roar and punches."

Cao Yin said from the bottom of his heart: "Cao Yang respects Shanzhu Chen the most. Every time we talk about Shanzhu, she seems to be a different person."

Zhu Lian gathered his voices into a line and whispered to the young man: "Don't worry, Cao Yang is just showing respect to our mountain master, and it does not involve love between men and women. The person he likes this year still has the same appearance as last year."

Cao Yin didn't think about it at all, but when the old cook said this, the young man blushed instantly.

Chen Ping'an gently threw the package under his arm to Zhu Lian, then stretched out his hand to grab a wooden gun on the weapons rack in the martial arts arena.

The five fingertips moved the wooden spear several times in the palm of the hand, like a dragon rolling against the wall. Suddenly he tightened his grip, and the tip of the spear buzzed like a dragon.

Wearing a long green shirt and a pair of cloth shoes, Chen Ping'an stood in the middle of the courtyard holding a wooden gun and said: "Just take this opportunity to let me see the foundation of your Cao family's martial arts."

The implication of Chen Ping'an's words couldn't be clearer. It doesn't matter if Cao Yang loses his fist, just don't disgrace Cao's swordsmanship.

"Discussion in the same situation."

Chen Pingan said: "When it comes to martial arts, there is no status, only boxing skills, no age, only meaning. Cao Yang, if you are worried about hurting me, of course you can be merciful. I will be in this fight. Return the gift of thanks to the kind-hearted Cao Yuan."

The girl was speechless.

Cao Yin, who was watching the battle under the eaves, always felt that the man in green shirt in front of him was very different from the cheerful Chen Shanzhu who chatted with them outside the bamboo house last time. They were completely different.

Zhu Lian smiled knowingly.

The martial artist who walked out from the second floor of the Bamboo House taught people how to use boxing. He also spoke like this. A few words were often more powerful than his fists.

Chen Pingan narrowed his eyes, as if he was about to move forward with a wooden gun.

In an instant, Cao Yang took a step back with the knife. She lowered her head and bent over, staring at the man whose aura changed completely, like a towering green mountain.

Her intuition told her that she would die with just one move from the other party, and it would be a frustrating way of dying without knowing how.

Chen Ping'an still stood where he was, "Retreat? Where can you retreat? Why don't you stand against the wall? Or simply break through the wall, retreat and escape, and swing your knife a few times in the middle, even if you fight me. , it will be a reputation after all."

Chen Ping'an said so, but in fact Cao Yang's retreat was not bad. This shows that Cao Yang's consciousness is extremely sharp. This is an instinct that only Wufu's fist has to help a pure person. A martial artist can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages without even realizing it. But this is not enough. In Chen Pingan's view, it is still a matter of choosing the last at the expense of the good.

Chen Ping'an's words are actually quite reserved.

Otherwise, if we follow the words of Senior Zhulou Cui, he retreats when he encounters the enemy, and even dares to retreat even more intently. Since he is learning boxing like this and likes to pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons, then he should stop learning and starve to death. What kind of boxing should he learn? Go out to beg for food, hold a broken bowl and kowtow to everyone. It is just to recognize a few more ancestors with different surnames. What's the shame? If you go back to the grave to worship the ancestors, you can also take credit. I just say that I have helped you recognize more relatives and be more filial. …

Cao Yuan gritted his teeth and took a step forward. Instead of running forward in a straight line with the knife, he moved sideways like a light swallow, touching the water like a dragonfly. The pure energy in his body circulated rapidly, and he moved faster in an instant, and came to the side of Chen Ping'an. , the gesture of a girl holding a sword, is the most famous of Cao's sword skills, dragging the gun away with heavy snow. Cao's sword skills come from the battlefield, bring together the leaders of hundreds of schools, and are refined over time. They are not limited to the sword skills themselves, only Cao's sword skills can be seen. Yang twisted his wrist, and the sword was as bright as snow, slashing at the man from the side.

"What's the use of just being fierce? Who will show you if you waste all your strength?"

Chen Ping'an didn't see how Chen Pingan would take action. The wooden spear had already hit Cao Yang's forehead. The girl's head shook violently and she flew backwards. Her forehead became red and swollen quickly visible to the naked eye. Cao Yang slapped the ground with his palms and spun around. , and then poked the ground with the tip of the knife several times. Sparks suddenly flew everywhere in the martial arts arena. The girl turned around, walked in a half circle around the green shirt, and then raised the knife at an angle again. When she got closer to Qing Shi, the wooden gun missed the blade at a faster speed. With a bang, it hit Cao Yuan's shoulder directly. The girl's shoulder tilted and she spun around. When Cao Yuan turned around, God, the tip of the motionless wooden spear was already pressed against his neck.

"When confronting a strong man, his heart is unstable and he will only show off his blood and courage. Do he think that he will lose before taking action? Do he only want to die quickly?"

Chen Pingan withdrew his wooden gun and said, "Come again."

No matter how Cao Yuan launched his offensive, he couldn't get close enough to Yi Qingyi, no more, no less. The two sides were always within a wooden spear's distance.

During this period, Chen Ping'an's wooden gun swept across and hit the girl's waist hard. Cao Yang was lifted up, and his whole body was bent like a bow in the air. Then, a piece of the wooden handle of the spear hit the center of the mouth and hit the wall. The girl's body He stood in mid-air like a civet cat, with his knees slightly bent, stepping on the wall, and used his strength to rush towards the man in green shirt who was strolling in the courtyard. The latter seemed to be too lazy to use a spear to fight the enemy, and just raised his hand, Putting his fingers together, it was like "gently" pushing away the tip of the knife, and then struck with an elbow. Cao Yang's face was covered with blood, and he fell to the ground. He stabbed the ground with the gun and then raised it diagonally. This time, the girl's figure could no longer condense into purity. Infuriated, he flipped around in the air several times and hit the weapon rack firmly with a crashing sound. Cao Yang vomited blood and stood up with one hand on the ground. His eyes were firm, but the arm holding the knife was , trembling involuntarily, at the same time, Cao Yang began to move, always facing the man who was slowly walking towards him.

Chen Pingan nodded unconsciously. The old cook was indeed right. Girls can indeed endure hardships and learn things quickly. Just like at this moment, Cao Yuan may not even know that he has already used the method taught by Chen Pingan before. The flow of infuriating energy.

This is talent. The master leads you to practice personally, and if you persevere, over time, the disciple will not be inferior to the master.

Chen Ping'an walked slowly and said: "The hardest thing in life is to raise one's energy and to lose one's energy easily. When learning martial arts, the ultimate learning is still in being a human being."

"What kind of person can master what kind of boxing moves and understand a few boxing principles to melt the boxing skills. Cao Yang, besides practicing martial arts, have you ever thought about why you want to learn boxing and what kind of boxing you want to learn? It's up to you. Who is he again?"

Cao Yuan was stunned.

As a result, Chen Ping'an laughed and said: "The enemy is facing us, how dare you be distracted?"

With a bang, the girl hit the wall, slumped to the ground, and leaned on the ground with a knife. She tried to get up several times in vain. She tapped her toes, leaned her back against the wall, and stood up slowly.

Cao Yuan's eyes blurred, and she turned her head subconsciously. The sound of the wall breaking could be heard in her ears. If she hadn't avoided this, she would have been stabbed through the head with a wooden gun on the spot.

Zhu Lian smiled and comforted the young man beside him, "Don't worry, every time the mountain master makes a move, he is very measured and thinking about Cao Yuan. If teaching boxing only stops at moves and boxing theory, then the mountain master is wasting himself." time. Because you are an outsider, you don't know clearly. The real suffering of Cao Yang at this moment is that her intuition has been deliberately pulled by the mountain master. She is sure that if she is not careful, she will hurt her roots and be beaten casually. Breaking the martial arts path, only in this way can it be considered a competition, otherwise it will just be a light fisting exercise. This kind of teaching boxing, as the mountain master said, is too meaningless, just because in the final analysis, deep in Cao Yang's heart, there is a kind of The idea that I am invincible, but in fact, to outsiders, it seems that there is no suspense between victory and defeat, but for the person in the game, Cao Yang, it is the difference between life and death."

"The martial arts path is the journey of our lives. We must be down-to-earth every step of the way and never fail. If we want to get the best out of all our hardships, we can only endure more hardships. Details such as the route of the true energy flow can be taught and learned, but the thoughts of a person are the same as the body. If you want to pursue the two purity of the boxing intention, you can only endure the hardships one after another. At every moment, you can't even have the thought that the rewards will come after all the hardships."

Zhu Lian chuckled and said, "I guess the young master will add more firewood."

Sure enough, Chen Ping'an did not pull out the wooden gun nailed into the wall, and said: "Cao Yang, take a rest for a while, I guess you will be unconvinced, thinking that I learned boxing early and have a high level, so I can only say a few big words to you. Empty truth, being condescending is annoying, and it belongs to the art of suppressing Dao, so I will suppress you in the next level and compete with you as a martial artist in the third level. I will only use the introductory fist moves of Shanshan Fist to see how many moves you can withstand."

As long as he was not teaching boxing to Pei Qian, Chen Ping'an wouldn't find it difficult even if he was at Banished Immortal Peak, constantly feeding Ye Yunyun, and finally, by chance, helping her reach the final level of Qi Sheng.

It's really... I have a good apprentice, so that when I am a master, teaching boxing is more difficult than practicing boxing myself.

After that, Chen Ping'an used the three-level martial arts to beat Cao Yuan again until he was unable to resist.

In the end, the girl knelt down on one knee and leaned on the ground with a knife. Cao Yuan shook his head, but he was still dizzy and his vision was blurry. The girl's face was covered with blood, dripping on the ground drop by drop.

Cao Yin said in his heart: "Mr. Zhu, will Cao Yang be okay?"

In fact, this question is inappropriate. It is tantamount to questioning Shanzhu Chen's teaching methods. If it goes a little further, it will be doubting Shanzhu Chen's intentions.

But the boy couldn't help it.

Zhu Lian rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "The mountain master's attack is not light, but it is not heavy either. Anyway, it is within the range that Cao Yang can bear."

As the contemporary head of the Cao family in Shangzhu Kingdom, Cao Ping was somewhat knowledgeable and knew how to send Cao Yin and Cao Yang to Luopo Mountain.

From today on, these young and girl, who have never been tainted by the secular world, have truly come under the eyes of their own young master. Haha, the young master will definitely come here often in the future.

To be honest, if the young master returns to Luopo Mountain later, Zhu Lian will go to Xiandu Mountain to rob people, because he is afraid that the big white goose will do things unethically and deliberately restrain the young master's heart.

If Cui Dongshan, who has been tricked by his clever calculations, succeeds, then it will be okay. Is the master the mountain owner of Luolu Mountain or the mountain owner of Xiandu Mountain?

When Cao Yuan stood up unsteadily, Chen Pingan said: "Look at what happens next, I will only practice it once, and you will learn as much as you can. This set of boxing techniques comes from the Ye family of Yuncaotang, Pushan, Tongyezhou, and is derived from the ancestral Six The paintings of immortals are respectively titled Watching the Waterfall, Making Jiaos, Practicing with Pounds, Playing the Qin, Songs of the Taoist Master, and Fishing for the Moon with a Bamboo Basket. All the martial arts of Yuncaotang came from the paintings and were passed on to the contemporary mountain master Ye Yunyun. More than 60 stances and boxing moves have evolved. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the stakes come from the picture and the fists go to the picture'. Among them, there are more than 40 that can be shown to others, and there is no taboo for outsiders to learn boxing."

Cao Yang nodded, raised his hand to wipe his face, and widened his eyes, fearing that he would miss any punch.

After that, Chen Ping'an deliberately slowed down and practiced more than forty stances and boxing moves for Cao Yuan. At the same time, he gave detailed instructions to the girl on the infuriating routes of different stances.

The threshold for practicing martial arts is not as high as becoming a qi practitioner or mountain climbing, but it really can't be learned by just throwing in a few boxing books. The key is to become a pure martial artist worthy of the name, not just an empty martial arts master. It's just a stance. Whether you can condense a breath of pure Qi is a huge difference. Whether you can make this breath truly integrate with the fist moves and complement each other is a huge difference.

Chen Pingan stopped the last punch and asked with a smile: "Do you remember everything?"

Cao Yang took a deep breath and said, "I remember everything!"

Zhu Leng just stood up and suddenly squatted down again.

Because I saw that my young master had no intention of calling it a day. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and said seriously: "I will teach you another set of boxing techniques. The stance, stance, and boxing moves are all unknown. She comes from the Great Wall of Sword Qi. She is a female grandmaster. My elders.”

There may be quite a few monks on the mountain who are called seniors by their own young master. After all, it is a courtesy when going out.

But there are not many people who are sincerely regarded as elders by their own master.

After Chen Ping'an finished a whole set of boxing techniques, as if he was afraid that Cao Yuan would not be able to remember them, he rehearsed them again and slowed down again.

The body structure and footwork are very restrained, but the punches are very fast, and there is no trace of makeup. Cao Yuan can see that this boxing method is most suitable for female martial arts practice.

After Chen Pingan withdrew his fist, he smiled and said: "In the previous two fights, you have to have two minds. Losing today is inevitable. Don't think too much. It is possible to win in the future. You have to think more about it."

"Cao Yuan, I don't care about other martial artists. Everyone has his own fate and destiny. But since you have come to Luopo Mountain to practice martial arts, I must remind you that you must first have the desire to save your own life before you are qualified to learn boxing. Win with fists and kill others."

Cao Yuan clasped his hands and said in a hoarse voice: "Junior, please follow your instructions!"

Master Chen Shanzhu gave two punches today. In fact, generally speaking, this was a treatment that only direct disciples could receive.

The instructions are given face to face and the heart seal is secretly passed on, which is called personal transmission!

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Hurry up and get rid of the blood on your face. It's scary in broad daylight."

Cao Yuan immediately said goodbye and walked into the residence in the backyard of the house.

Cao Yin sighed in his heart. Sure enough, Master Chen who no longer taught boxing was the familiar Master Chen again.

Zhu Lian had already run to collect the wooden poles and spears, and then put up the weapon rack again.

Cao Yuan quickly returned here, and then the group drank tea and chatted in the side hall of the main house. Cao Yuan, the maid, did not need to do any work, Zhu Lian took care of it, not to mention that he roasted the tea himself.

Chen Pingan seemed to be addicted to teaching boxing, as if he had found a little confidence in being a teacher from Cao Yang. Halfway through drinking tea, he took out a scroll from his sleeve, spread it out on the desk, and called the boys and girls to watch it together. An authentic work by the head of the Zhao family in Tianshui, the authentic long scroll is far longer than the length of a desk, and is a full three feet long, so much so that Chen Ping'an and Zhu Lian need to stand on both sides to hold the jade axis. Even so, Cao Yin and Cao Yang still can't. See the whole picture of this word.

One word per line, the characters are very large. The opening line is "In the sixth year of Yuanjia, the floods in the bitterly cold land have subsided, and a solitary boat in green clothes is crossing the river gracefully." The ending line is "A smile crosses the river, and I return home at night holding a candle."

The words are like spears and halberds, with a majestic momentum and an overwhelming force.

Chen Ping'an explained: "Cao Yang, boxing skills can't only be gained from fighting day after day, year after year. The real good boxing in the world must come from outside the boxing manual. The former teaches us the basics of martial arts. Strong, but the latter teaches us to be the best in martial arts. Just like this calligraphy, it has both form and spirit. Maybe literati and calligraphers look at it to see the meaning of the calligraphy. At most, they just copy the calligraphy. But if it were replaced by us When martial artists look at it, they can see more meaning, and even create their own punches. After a while, I will teach you this punch, and you will know that what I said is true."

Zhu Lian helped put away the scroll, and Chen Pingan said seriously: "Besides the logic, I also want to show off my collection to you."

The boy and girl looked at each other.

Zhu Lian tied the knot of the scroll and gently handed it to Chen Ping'an, "A rich collection is nothing, as long as you have a little money in your pocket. But the beauty of the collection can surpass the peers, and it is hard to compare with others." , it really depends on the collector’s appreciation.”

Chen Pingan smiled and returned to Fang Cunwu. The old chef's kind words were indeed the truth.

You must know that when Pei Qian was a child, he complained to Old Wei in private. Xiao Heitan looked sad and sighed sincerely, saying that the old cook's bad behavior can't be imitated.

Old Wei nodded and said that some people's special skills are not determined by manpower but by Tiancheng.

In the end, Wei Xian did not forget to add, such as your ability to observe words and my ability to drink.

Everyone sat down again. Chen Ping'an planned to leave after drinking a cup of tea and asked: "Cao Yin, have you encountered any problems in practice?"

"Not yet." Cao Yin shook his head. With the three secret books given by Master Cui Xian to help clear the way, no matter how inexperienced the Qi practitioner is, he can make progress step by step.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If you have any questions in the future that you can't figure out, just ask Cui Dongshan for advice. Although I am also a swordsman, my ability to teach and resolve doubts in this area is far inferior to Cui Dongshan's. , when the time comes, go to the Jise Peak Sword House and fly your sword directly to Tongyezhou Xiandu Mountain. Don’t worry about troublesome Cui Dongshan. I will make an agreement with him in advance, so if you don’t ask, it will be in vain. .”

Cao Yin stood up and bowed to express his thanks, and Cao Yang followed suit and clasped his fists.

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded in greeting, and was about to stand up and leave, but Cao Yin took the initiative and asked: "Master Chen, can I talk about my practice experience and ask the Master for advice?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Of course."

Zhu Lian had already served tea to several people.

Cao Yin said: "Master Chen, I think the cultivation of Qi practitioners and even the practice of martial arts are a series of calculations and problem solving."

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "How to say? Dao Ruxu's house is like pillars, why don't you give an example."

Cao Yin gave a specific example of dismantling a martial artist's tempered body into skin, flesh, sinews and bones. From this, it can be seen that Cao Yin, as a sword fairy embryo, is not worried about his own practice, but the young man is very concerned about Cao Yang's martial arts practice. the road.

Zhu Lian smiled and said nothing.

Childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts can actually become strangers in the future.

Just because the boy flipped through the book too quickly.

Girls like to fold corners when reading.

Chen Pingan listened carefully and nodded in appreciation: "This is a good example."

Cao Yin was a little shy and said: "Maybe people with poor qualifications would dismantle it like this."

Chen Ping'an just wanted to praise the young man again, and your idea coincided with mine.

As a result, Cao Yin's statement immediately made Master Chen swallow the words that were on his lips.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Cao Yin's opinion. It can even be said to be a very insightful insight into spiritual practice.

In fact, Cao Yin is certainly a genius. At such a young age, he is already a Qi practitioner at the bottleneck of Guanhai Realm, and he is also a swordsman.

But the problem is that there are indeed a handful of geniuses among geniuses in the world, such as Ning Yao, Cao Ci, Pei Qian, and Chai Wu, all of whom fall into this category.

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "Do you know anything about Buddhist classics?"

Cao Yin replied: "I have seen some, but not many."

Chen Pingan asked a question, "How do you view the sudden and gradual differences between northern and southern Buddhist Zen?"

Cao Yin was a little frightened. How could he dare to speak casually about such a major issue involving a major divergence of Buddhism? Moreover, the young man had never thought about it deeply.

Chen Ping'an asked again: "Then let me ask you, can you really become a Buddha instantly? How can you stay in the state that comes from sudden enlightenment?"

Cao Yin seems to have realized something, but it seems that the words in his heart have become the enemy of expressing his true heart.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Think slowly."

Chen Ping'an took a sip of tea and said, "What question did you want to ask just now?"

Cao Yin came back to his senses and plucked up the courage to say: "What is Shanzhu Chen's specific time schedule every day? Can you elaborate on it? I want to copy it. How much true meaning can I learn from it?"

Looking at other people's lives is like looking at a map. The marked mountains and rivers are famous, but they always seem to have nothing to do with yourself.

But if you have the opportunity to get close to those "famous mountains and rivers", the scenery will be different. Just like when the weather is fine, standing in the distance and looking at a poor mountain, you don't feel how high it is.

The closer you get to this mountain, the higher it becomes. When you reach the foot of the mountain, you will find how towering it is.

Just entering the mountain and being in Luolu Mountain seems to be a different scenery.

Zhu Lian was startled and coughed quickly to remind the young man that this question was inappropriate.

Chen Pingan shook his head and smiled: "Of course you can say that, but you can't learn it. There are too many things to pay attention to in practicing a religion. It varies from person to person, from time to time, and from place to place. Different sects and teachers have different skills. There are different inheritances of Taoism, the techniques of breathing and exhalation are very different, the different natal objects, the time changes of yin and yang during the day and night, Qi practitioners who practice fire method and water method will have completely different daily routines and dojo choices."

Therefore, it is so difficult to find a master on the mountain who can help guide you when you encounter obstacles or problems. This is why there is a saying that worshiping a master is like reincarnation.

You can avoid many detours and suffer unnecessary hardships. It is recognized that wild cultivators have a tough mind, but do you think they are really willing to do so?

Although he frankly told the young man that he couldn't learn and didn't need to learn, Chen Ping'an still thought about it seriously. What he said as an opening statement made Zhu Lian feel that today's trip was worthwhile.

"I left my hometown when I was young, and I was often on the road in a hurry. At that time, I was constantly walking and practicing boxing in order to survive. I punched while walking, trying to adjust my breathing and exhalation with every step. Whenever I stopped to rest, I would also Practice Shanshanquan's Jianlu Zhuang. Before lying down to sleep, practice sleeping Zhuang Qianqiu, trying to get the fist intention on the body. The more the better, ten thousand punches, tens of thousands of punches, one hundred thousand punches, one million punches. I only know When you put the fist on your body, you can be possessed by gods. You have to believe it even if you don't believe it at the time. Just like calligraphy, there are ghosts and gods under the wrist to help you, and your imagination is whimsical. Whenever I have free time, I read some books and make excerpts. I firmly believe that a good memory is not as good as a bad writing. Chapter 1 When I came to the Great Wall of Sword Qi for the second time, there were not many opportunities to devote myself to practice in that summer palace. The only one that really conformed to the routine of a Taoist in the general sense was when I was in a dojo in Xiandu Mountain in Tongyezhou not long ago. . That’s why I said, you can’t learn my practice routine. But having said that, if you break down your practice to the smallest details, breathing, walking, and sleeping, I don’t think there is any problem. So in the final analysis, it is still the same. There is no fixed law for all things, but there is one law for all things.”

Cao Yin smiled brightly, "I understand!"

At certain stages of practice, a Qi practitioner will have nothing to do.

Now the boy feels that he has a lot of things to do.

Cao Yuan was a woman after all, and she was as careful as hair, so she was a little confused. Isn't Shanzhu Chen a great swordsman who has achieved Taoism? Why did he seem to have white hair?

Zhu Lianan sat aside quietly, looking at the young mountain master who was talking to the young man. What kind of woman would not be tempted by such a young master?

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If you have similar questions in the future, please ask more. Even if I don't come here, you can take the initiative to find me."

Zhu Lian sighed softly: "It turns out that Buddhism only talks about ordinary things."

Chen Ping ignored him, stood up, and finally said three words to the boy.

"The Master said that at the age of fifteen he was determined to study."

"There is no waste of happiness, and a good man will rest."

"How can a teenager not drink?"

In the first sentence, Cao Yin could hear Shanzhu Chen's expectations for him. In the second sentence, he also warned himself not to be too obsessed with breaking the situation. It was also very reasonable and wise words.

It was just this third sentence that made the young man a little confused, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Walking out of the house together, Cao Yin's face was full of longing and expectation, and he plucked up the courage to ask: "Master Chen, have you seen the Holy Master?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I've seen it before."

Cao Yin was speechless for a moment. Looking at the back of the blue-robed swordsman, the young man could not calm down for a long time.

Zhu Lian moved a little later, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "A few years later, someone asked, Cao Jianxian, has he met Mr. Chen?"

Cao Yin suddenly smiled, and the girl beside him also smiled like a flower.

"Next time we come, we have to drink."

Zhu Lian clasped his hands behind his back, his body stooped, and quickly caught up with his young master.

Cao Yuan whispered: "Mr. Zhu must have had many deeds in the world before going up the mountain, right?"

Cao Yin nodded vigorously, sure.

Chen Pingan slowed down and waited for Zhu Lian to catch up.

"Sir, I don't know whether to say something or not."

"It's inappropriate to talk about it."

"I had some ideas after admiring the young master's skill in boxing and his smooth flow."

"Your hands are itchy? Come on, let's fight."

The young mountain master of Luolu Mountain and the old cook of Luolu Mountain.

On the mountain path, the punching speed of both sides can be called "astonishing". In short, you are jumping and throwing punches, I am shaking my head to avoid it, you are like a black tiger picking out the heart, and I am like a monkey picking peaches, tossing and turning, and a turtle. Climb and climb to show off your expert style...

It's a good thing that those young girls and boys never witnessed this boxing contest with their own eyes, otherwise there would be no talk about the master's demeanor Chen Jianxian and Mr. Zhu with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

The romantic children of Jianghu Lao, from youth to old age, actually the wine glass is never empty, because after drinking the wine in the glass, the glass is refilled with stories.
