Sword of Coming

Rouge County, the prefect's residence.

After stealing his father's candidate map of a county, the thief Liu Gaohua felt guilty and felt that fifty taels of silver was a bit hot, so he thought of making up for it, so he left the three bearded swordsmen hanging in the living room and ran to his father's house. The official who handles government affairs said that during his travels, he met the immortals in the books. Among them, the bearded man who wielded the sword was a famous knight in the world. He was the number one master in the county. He may not be his three-in-one enemy, so he must not be neglected. There is also Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain, who carries a mahogany sword on his back. He has a long history in family education and can kill demons and subjugate them with ease. The last one named Chen is even more remarkable. Although he looks like a young man, he is actually eighty or ninety years old. He is just "successful in cultivating Taoism and has the appearance of a young boy."

His son Liu Gaohua's extravagant praise made the county governor doubtful. With a little bit of uneasiness, he brought along a well-informed palace staff member and went to the living room to entertain the distinguished guests. As a result, County Sheriff Liu was greatly disappointed. The man was indeed missing. He had seen many gods and spirits, but his eyesight on people was really not bad. After saying hello, he sat down and drank a cup of tea, but he lost interest and asked Liu Gaohua to entertain the three distinguished guests, so he found an excuse to return to the official hall.

Along the way, Sheriff Liu shook his head and said: "What a heroic heavenly master, he did not live up to his name. He tricked and tricked me into my house. He is so bold. If they dare to make unreasonable demands in the future, I will let them sit in jail and eat their fill." "

The old staff member laughed softly and said: "It's not like eating and drinking together. It's hard to tell between the young Taoist priest and the boy with the sash. The swordsman does have some real skills. The nursing home in the house is definitely no match. Mr. Liu, you know Before I entered the government, I had traveled around the world for more than 20 years and met several famous masters. In the southern part of Caiyi Country, they are all top masters. In terms of bearing, the bearded man is no less impressive. Polished and dignified."

The county guard nodded, "That makes sense."

The old staff reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, think about it, the general stationed in this state is recognized as the great master of the four realms. We once watched from a distance at the banquet. At that time, we felt that even though we were drinking and talking and laughing, there were still many people. His unruffled and self-defeating spirit is very scary. If you think about it carefully, is the Jianghu man who calls himself Xu somewhat similar to him?"

Sheriff Liu frowned and said, "What do you mean, do you want to win over each other? But I heard that when dealing with people in Jianghu, it is considered heroic to spend a lot of money. If you only spend a few taels of silver as payment, it is not a polite friendship. On the contrary, it is humiliating and will offend those gangsters. I have always been an honest official and have no surplus. What should I do if I can take action? Is it possible that I have to borrow money from the rich people in the county? "

At this point, the official of Yi County looked a little unhappy, "If the relationship is so full of copper stench, I don't mind it."

Scholars look down upon Jianghu Han, especially those who have obtained official status in the imperial court. In fact, they still look down upon them in their hearts.

The old staff member sighed in his heart, Commander Liu couldn't handle the connections he brought to his door, and he couldn't complain that he was only a fourth-rank official despite being a good writer. What's more, Commander Liu's chief minister was still a high-ranking official in Caiyi Kingdom. If he were the county guard, let alone borrowing money from the rich, he would not hesitate to sell the iron. Assuming that the bearded swordsman was a martial arts master who was a minor master of the Three Realms, as long as it was related, then under the table There are so many things that can be done. Besides, people are friends, how can you be human without a relationship? It is not the way to serve as an official if you want to ask others for everything. You have some contacts with the rich and powerful families in the county and only borrowed a few hundred taels of silver. You, County Sheriff Liu, are really embarrassed. Lost face? Wrong, you gave that family face. It's just that Governor Liu didn't like to hear these things. He thought it was insulting to politeness. After the old staff said it once or twice, he knew it well.

Thinking of this, the old staff became a little disheartened. The officialdom is so tortuous, why is it not the same in the world? Before he became anonymous, he had actually served as a confidant for a leader of the Caiyi Kingdom's Southern Jianghu. There were grudges and grudges, but more importantly, there were so many little things in the world. No matter how heroic you are, you are full of high spirits and you can't use them. It will be worn out in a few years. Remember how heroic and heroic the old alliance leader was, but in the end he ended up with his wife and children separated and his family destroyed?

After Sheriff Liu left lukewarmly, Liu Gaohua was a little embarrassed. In addition, the mansion of the governor was so shabby that even a few guest rooms could not be spared. The bearded swordsman asked Liu Gaohua to take him to the nearest inn to stay. As long as the god When the old Taoist priest Gaozong entered the county mansion, he quickly informed the three of them, and Liu Gaohua responded repeatedly.

Because of its good location and time-honored name, the inn's business was booming. Fortunately, the governor's son's face was still worth some money, so he just offered three guest rooms without daring to raise the price. Liu Gaohua also accepted this favor from beginning to end. He didn't realize that the innkeeper was worried about cutting the flesh, which made the bearded swordsman laugh. Even Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng shook his head.

Humanity is also knowledge. These knowledge are not taught much in the books of sages, but they are available in the world, and Chen Ping'an sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart.

In fact, there were also shops like Ni Ping Lane and Xinghua Lane in the past.

The three of them were chatting in the bearded man's room, and naturally talked about their trip to the ancient house, and about Zhang Shanfeng's magical talisman. After Xu Yuanxia asked about the price, she found out that it was so expensive, and she felt a little sorry for it. Ju Luzhou Taoist priest said with a smile that he must gain something from his next trip to slay demons. Although Zhang Shanfeng was afraid of poverty, he did not complain at all. This made Xu Yuanxia look at him with admiration. The man knew that on the way to practice, Qi practitioners accumulated a lot of wealth. Family background is so important. Xu Yuanxia, ​​who has traveled north and south, knows very well the rules of some immortal families in the mountains. Qi practitioners practice here and there, cultivating their minds and strength, and what they cultivate is real gold and silver. If the young Taoist priest has always been like this If you can't make ends meet, it will definitely be difficult to move to higher places. No matter how good your character is, you can't withstand such a dull knife.

After chatting, Chen Pingan learned more about the scenery of the lower five realms of Qi Practitioners for the first time.

The previous time he returned from the Sui Dynasty with "disciple student" Cui Han, because Lin Shouyi was already half a mountain god at that time, Chen Pingan was a little curious about this. During a rare chat between the two, Chen Pingan asked him about it for the first time. Things like practicing Qi.

As a result, the young Cui Zhang rolled his eyes and said, "Go to the fifth realm?" It's all rubbish. It's so boring to talk about that. It's simply detrimental to Mr.'s high mountains and rivers. Sir, let's talk about the upper five realms, shall we? Thinking back then, when I was a student, I was in the twelfth realm after all...

At that time, Chen Ping'an was deeply prejudiced against him, so he didn't want to listen to the white-clothed boy's boastful talk, so he got up and went to practice setting up a sword furnace in a distance.

Now that Chen Pingan thinks about it, does it hurt Cui Zhang's self-esteem? "At least" I once served as an immortal in the Twelve Realms, and even played chess with the lord of Baidi City among the colorful clouds...

Chen Ping'an scratched his head and lowered his head to take a sip of tea, but what he was thinking about was regretting the two thousand taels of silver notes he sent to "Cui Dongshan" together with the letter. Isn't this insulting?

The lower five realms of Qi Practitioners are the five realms of mountain climbing, the Copper Skin Realm, the Grass Root Realm, the Willow Tendon Realm, the Bone Qi Realm, and the Building Building Realm. Among them, the first four realms are to cultivate the skin, flesh, muscles, and bones respectively. They are said to be Qi Practitioners, but in fact they have raised a Qi Practitioner. A tough physique is also valued very much, but the truth is simple. If the human body is a water bowl, one pound of Qi can be produced. If the water bowl can only hold eight taels, the other two taels will become empty talk. The last state is the state of integration and melting, which is the state of perfection for the human body as a Qi training tool. It probably means that you can officially climb the mountain.

Because Yang Huang, the ghost ghost, mentioned Liujin Realm many times and said it was the "Retention Realm", the bearded man emphatically explained it to Chen Ping'an, a layman. He talked about it with gusto, full of pure warriors' ridicule of the gods on the mountain. , making the young Taoist priest who happened to be stagnant in the Three Realms very helpless.

"There once was an amazingly talented monk named Liu. He directly entered the upper five realms and achieved the supreme immortal body just by practicing muscle exercises. He is said to be unprecedented and unparalleled. Therefore, this realm is named after Liu Jin. And There is a saying of retaining the realm of human beings, because many monks who extravagantly hope to take shortcuts have gone astray in this realm, trying to get into trouble with the incomplete secrets left by the monk surnamed Liu, delaying for too long, and ruining their lives."

The bearded man drank tea with the same boldness as if he were drinking wine, and there was a lot of ridicule in his words, "We warriors are always looked down upon by the monks on the mountain, but there is one thing that we are better than Qi practitioners, that is, we are solid step by step, and there are no messy shortcuts to take." , the most down-to-earth, so this Liujin realm has retained countless lucky young monks in the world, and the Qi practitioners in the lower five realms, as long as they are not military strategists and sword cultivators, have met the purity of our third realm. A warrior, you can’t get even the slightest advantage!”

As the only Qi practitioner present, the young Taoist priest said gloomily: "After you warriors have reached the third level of Qi refining, and we Qi practitioners have reached the middle fifth level, let's compare again? We, the Qi practitioners, must have a better chance of winning. "

The bearded man chuckled and said: "We are only competing for the same realm. The Jindan realm Qi practitioners in the ninth realm are immortal enough, right? Try it when you meet a pure martial artist in our mountain top realm? Then Song Changjing, the king of the Great Li clan , How dare you, the tenth level qigong practitioners, stand in front of him? This Song Changjing is one of our pure warriors in Aquarius Continent!"

The bearded man held out his thumb.

He still refused to put away his thumb and praised him greatly: "These warriors are the real heroes in the world. They are at the foot of the mountain, but they can look down on the mountain. I only hate that I, Xu Yuanxia, ​​can't see him, otherwise I have to respect him even though I am shameless." A bowl of wine!”

Chen Ping'an looked strange.

The vassal king Song Changjing was Song Jixin's uncle. He once passed by in Mubo Alley, and Chen Ping'an even met Song Changjing face to face.

Besides, a pure martial artist who is at the same level as Song Changjing only has Li Huai's father in his hometown, a small town, not to mention Cui Chan's grandfather...

Chen Pingan had no choice but to drink tea silently.

Afterwards, the three of them went to eat on the first floor of the inn. There was a lot of discussion at the lobby table. It turned out that there was an old immortal who was about to visit Rouge County. He had magical powers and was unpredictable. The immortal in the book could spread beans and make soldiers, and he could throw away enemies. Paper is a beauty, and those graceful women with all kinds of graces, after the pieces of yellow paper fall to the ground and appear, each one is completely the same as a living person, able to sing, dance, and answer questions fluently.

The old immortal's journey south has already made the dignitaries from all over the Caiyi Kingdom couldn't help but marvel. Therefore, the old immortal has not yet arrived at Rouge County, the Caiyi Kingdom that is famous for its beautiful women. They are already looking forward to it. , men are looking forward to whether those magical beauties transformed from paper have a unique charm. Women with a little beauty are all eager to win. How can a piece of thin paper be better than their real person?

Chen Pingan was not very interested.

The bearded man and Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng were eager to try and said they must go and have a look. One vowed that the old immortal might be a demon in human skin, while the other nodded vigorously in agreement, saying that demons would never be allowed to deceive people's hearts.

Chen Ping'an looked at the two righteous guys and wondered if you two could wipe off your saliva before talking. Don't you just want to see beautiful women? Let's be honest, I won't laugh at you.

Alas, after all, they have never seen a really good-looking girl. Chen Ping'an is very confident about this.

Because he felt that he had already seen the most beautiful girl in the world.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains.
