Sword of Coming

Before Chen Ping'an boarded the treasure-eating whale bound for Tongye Island, he made a special trip to the market outside Shangxiang Tower and bought an incense tube, which contained eighty-one incense sticks specially made by Xuanxuan Mountain. The fragrance is astounding to the nostrils. Whether it is to worship gods or burn incense for meditation, it is a good product, but the price is not cheap. One Xiaoshu coin is equivalent to a hundred snow coins.

The reason why he spent the money was that Chen Ping'an remembered that there was a mountain temple in Luoluo Mountain in his hometown. If friends came to visit in the future, he might as well give this incense to them. The guests are sincere and the gods enjoy the good fragrance. After all, it is a beautiful thing.

In addition to this incense stick from Shangxianglou and the two treasures he bought with a lot of money from Lingzhi Zhai, Chen Pingan also bought a set of "Sword Immortal Pictures" copied by the master of Posuzhou Danqing from a shop outside Jingjian Pavilion. Each of the five pictures is a long scroll, with twenty swordsmen in the painting. Each swordsman is only an inch long on the scroll, lifelike and ethereal.

The first edition of "Pictures of the Sword Immortal" was created by a master painter who watched the battle at the Great Wall of Sword Qi. It has been copied countless times since then.

There are too many sword immortals in Jingjian Pavilion. This set of "Sword Immortals Pictures" called Shiqu Edition only selected a hundred of them according to the personal preferences of the masters of painting. At that time, there were several versions in the store, and the prices were very different. The version was the most expensive. After careful comparison, Chen Ping'an found that the sword fairy painted in this Shiqu version was the most suitable for him, so he gritted his teeth and bought it.

This expense is really not small, a full fifty summer coins.

The shopkeeper with a smile on his face, either because he was happy to meet someone he had taken advantage of or because he felt that Chen Ping'an was discerning, told some interesting and interesting things about "Sword Immortal Picture", saying that there were several swordsmen in the world who had inadvertently obtained early skills. After finishing the remaining scrolls of the Sword Immortal Pictures, I realized the true meaning of the Sword Immortals on their respective scrolls, and became immortals in one step, becoming the famous land sword immortals.

Chen Pingan planned to give this set of "Sword Immortal Pictures" as a gift to the saint Ruan Qiong in the future. At that time, when he left his hometown of Longquan County, Master Ruan had not yet held the celebration for the founding of the clan, but it should have been completed by now. Fifty pieces of Xiaoshu coins are certainly not worth mentioning to Ruan Qiong, but at least they were brought from Daixuan Mountain to Dali Longquan. They were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, so they seemed to be somewhat polite and affectionate.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

As Chen Ping'an walked towards Shangxiang Ferry, several young female immortal masters glanced at him a few times, and then looked at them again, instead of just sweeping them away.

Chen Ping'an's trip to Tongyezhou to find the path was more serious than his trip to deliver the sword to Upside Down Mountain. After confirming that the young female Qi practitioners did not have malicious intentions, he stopped thinking about it.

The Shangxiang Ferry was larger than the Catch and Release Ferry, but Chen Ping'an, who had a jade pendant hanging on his waist to board the boat, did not see the treasure-eating whale that must have been huge. Instead, he saw a mountain with pavilions and pavilions built on its back. Turtles, a giant chariot pulled by a blue luan crane, and something unique to Fuyao Island recorded in "Mountains and Seas", a small mountain peak shaded by green trees.

I just don’t know whether it’s Feilai Mountain or Fei Qufeng. According to legend, the mountain roots formed by the condensed spiritual energy of these mountain peaks are the great tonic for dragons in the world. In ancient times, the giant land dragons could transform into dragons by walking along the river. After choosing a certain road leading to the sea. After the sacrifice, people will be asked to move the flying mountains and flying peaks and throw them by the water, so that they can eat in time to prevent exhaustion and depletion of qi and blood.

Chen Ping'an had just begun to learn the elegant language of Zhongtu Shenzhou. When it came to asking for directions, it was destined to be like chickens and ducks. If that didn't work, he would have to take out bamboo slips and write on them to ask for directions.

Fortunately, Chen Pingan found several ferry passengers with the same hanging style, and followed them silently. After walking for a while, he soon came to a crowded place. Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, and was tapped on his left shoulder. , Chen Pingan turned his head and looked to the right, and saw a familiar face. Seeing that Chen Pingan had not fallen into the trap, the man felt a little bored and said lazily: "What, you are also going to the Fuji Sect of Tongyezhou? So? What a coincidence? You must have some plot against me, right? Are you coveting beauty? "

The bad guy complains first?

Chen Pingan had a good impression of this person.

This handsome man wears a hairpin, a pink skirt, and a ribbon around his waist.

If taking the Osmanthus Island ride from Laolongcheng to Daoxuan Mountain together was fate, then taking the trip from Daoxuan Mountain to Fuji Zong on the same day was most likely an ulterior design.

This young man surnamed Lu, who was once kicked out of Shangxiang Tower by the gatekeeper Taoist boy, clearly saw Chen Ping'an's caution. He patted the jade boarding plaque issued by the Treasure-Eating Whale on his waist and laughed and said: " As you can imagine, when I went to Fuji Sect this time, I was waiting for you."

What kind of openness and honesty is this?

Chen Pingan was a little confused, but he made up his mind to stay away from this person.

Not only does this guy look as stunning as a woman, he also has a clear and sweet voice that makes it difficult to distinguish between male and female. They had "accidentally" visited the catching and releasing pavilion together before. His words and deeds showed that he was a person who had an out-of-touch temperament and didn't act according to common sense. Although Chen Ping'an I don't dislike this person's attire, temperament, and hobbies, but I don't want anyone to disturb my peaceful life.

The man put his hands behind his back, intertwined his fingers, tilted his chin slightly, and looked at Chen Pingan with squinted eyes. His posture was delicate and graceful than a woman, and he said softly: "Whether you believe it or not, I have to tell the truth. My surname is Lu, and my name is Tai. I mean Lu from the land, and Tai from the upper balcony. I am a descendant of the Lu family from the Divine Continent of Middle-earth. I was not well-received in my family, so I ran out to travel around the world on my own, and traveled across the nine continents of the vast world. Five. Originally I didn’t plan to go to Tongyezhou, but now I’m really short of money, so I just want to find a good guy who will eat and drink without coveting my beauty. I think you are the one. Anyway, I already owe you. You have one Guyu coin, and you don’t mind owing one more. Maybe when I get to Tongyezhou, if I step on dog poop on the road, I can pay you back, and by the way, I can earn my travel expenses home.”

Seeing Chen Pingan's expressionless face, he who called himself Lu Tai was obviously unwilling to believe his nonsense.

He sighed, "Okay, to be honest, I come from the Yin Yang family and am good at divination and fortune-telling. It's true that I don't have any money in my pocket, and it's false that I can't make any money. But after I owe you a piece of Grain Rain money, I'll forget it for myself." The first hexagram is Dongyou Tunbao, Tongye Fenghou, and Shang Shang hexagram. The meaning of this hexagram is very superficial, but to prevent accidents, I still stayed here for a full two decades. This is what I said before, "wait for the rabbit." The origin of this, when I finally saw you, I knew that if I didn’t go on this trip to Tongyezhou, which was blessed by my ancestors, I would be struck by lightning from the sky.”

Chen Ping'an didn't say anything bad, nor did he show the slightest impatience. Instead, he asked in a kind and conciliatory tone: "Master Lu, you follow the Daji hexagram to go to Tongyezhou. Of course I won't." I can't stop you even if I try to stop you, but can you and I go our separate ways? If you are in urgent need of money, Mr. Lu, I can lend you some more Xiaoxia money..."

He suddenly interrupted Chen Pingan's words, and said with a naturally charming tone and look: "Young Master Lu, in order to avoid trouble, just call me Miss Lu, otherwise others will look at me very strangely."

Chen Pingan's scalp was numb.

If you mind how others look at you, why don't you mind how I look at you?

Lu Tai actually started acting coquettishly, "Chen Ping'an, can you please give me a ride? I can swear to God, if I have any bad thoughts towards you, I will be struck by thunder and thrown into a bath in Leize. , was suppressed at the foot of Suishan Mountain, detained in the furnace of the Deep Sea Dragon Palace, and exiled to a desolate secret land thousands of miles away..."

While talking nonsense, he stretched out a hand that was slender and fairer than the woman's and tried to grab one of Chen Ping'an's arms.

Chen Ping'an had goosebumps all over his body. He didn't care about being polite. He slapped Lu Tai's hand away and said sternly: "Master... Miss Lu, please respect yourself!"

Lu Tai retracted his hand angrily and stood there, biting his lip, his eyes filled with resentment, and he was about to cry.

Chen Pingan turned around and left.

Lu Tai followed him like a shadow. When Chen Pingan stopped, he stopped. When Chen Pingan turned around, he turned around. He took out an exquisite small bronze mirror from somewhere, and twirled an open rouge box between his fingers. , like a beauty dressing up in front of the mirror in the boudoir.

Chen Ping'an, who knew this scene quite well, only felt horrified. However, there were many male Qi practitioners around him with dazzling eyes. Some of them were old and advanced Jindan Yuanying, even though they still saw through Lu Tai's deception. Knowing his identity as a man, his eyes were still hot.

The road to spiritual practice is a long one with no taboos.

Lu Tai was like a pitiful abandoned wife who did not dare to complain to the heartless man, but only dared to follow him reluctantly.

The sight around him was full of amusement.

Chen Ping'an had never experienced such a disgusting battle where people would not pay for their lives. He was very angry, but he had nothing to do with this Lutai.

As people continued to disappear out of thin air in front of the ferry, Chen Ping'an realized that the boarding place of the treasure-swallowing whale was the beautiful lichen spread on the ground. At that time, he bought the jade plaque of the ferry, which was divided into "Yun Zaifeng" and "Yi Ni Garden". , "Bishui Lake" three types, with different prices. Chen Pingan chose the middle Bishui Lake. Looking at the three lichens at this time, the scenes were very different. There were misty clouds and mist, a single peak, vast blue waves, and houses on the lake. , dotted with flowery courtyards and pavilions.

"Miss Lu" not far behind her timidly explained: "You can never board the ship from the mouth of the treasure-swallowing whale. This treasure-swallowing whale is very large, second to none in Jinjiazhou. There are four small secret places in the body of the treasure-swallowing whale. Three of them were built as residences for passengers. The Treasure Whale in Old Dragon City had only one secret realm, which was simply shabby compared to it. These three lichens were actually three extremely high-grade shokuchi. It can help passengers connect directly to the three places."

Chen Ping'an suddenly realized.

Regarding the secret realm, the all-encompassing fairy book "Shan Hai Zhi" has detailed records. After Chen Pingan saw it, because it involved Dongtian Paradise and even Lizhu Dongtian, Chen Pingan was particularly concerned and went to find it. The young shopkeeper of the Stork Inn asked for some knowledge that was not in the books.

People born and raised in Daoxuan Mountain, regardless of their level of cultivation or family background, are often loud and knowledgeable when speaking. Saints, heavenly kings and earthly immortals speak freely without any inhibitions. However, what I saw and heard was mixed and broad, indeed better than any place other than Hanging Mountain.

The young shopkeeper was not very talkative at first. Perhaps he regarded Chen Ping'an as a noble person, so it was rare for him to have a good chat at that time.

Many cave heavens and paradises that have grown old and decayed on their own, or been destroyed by external forces, often leave some realms of different sizes and traces behind after being broken, so they are called secret realms. In fact, the one selling Wangyou wine on the upside-down mountain The shop is the only secret place left in Huangliang Blessed Land.

Many opportunities for Taoists are often inseparable from secret realms. Secret realms can be the icing on the cake, or provide help in times of need. It can be said that the existence of secret realms, large and small, fills Qi practitioners with longing and hope. Almost half of the wild cultivators owe their rise to the harvest from the secret realm.

Unintentionally break into an unoccupied secret land, or a paradise with the essence of vegetation, or a miasma-ridden barbarian land, or a cave where immortal soldiers are defeated. If you are lucky, you can soar into the sky, and if you are not lucky, you can soar into the sky. Yes, he might die of old age or suffer a misfortune, and his relics after his death would become one of the opportunities for future generations.

Chen Pingan wanted to know if there was any secret realm left in the world after the Lizhu Cave Sky shattered and fell.

You can ask Wei Bo later.

At this time, Chen Pingan walked towards the piece of lichen leading to the Bishui Lake of the Treasure-Swallowing Whale. Lu Tai sighed, quickened his pace, and walked slowly, blocking Chen Pingan's way. He stretched out his hand and said: "I was also going to the Bishui Lake. Since you hate me so much, then I won't stand in your way. I can change my residence, add some money, find someone to change my place, and go to that prestigious beautiful garden. Let's go our separate ways like this, Chen Pingan, previously You said you could lend me some summer vacation money, do you still want to count? Otherwise, I won’t be able to go to Yiyi Garden..."

A pitiful man who looked awkward no matter how he looked at him.

Chen Ping'an directly took out a large amount of Xiaoshu money that had been used to ward off disasters, took a few steps closer, and quickly handed it over to Lu Tai.

As long as this person no longer bothers him and allows him to practice boxing and sword practice, Chen Pingan is willing to spend the money.

After Lu Tai took the money from Xiaoshu, he stared at Chen Ping'an with a pair of autumn eyes, filled with endless grievances, and finally turned around sadly, probably looking for someone to discuss changing his residence.

When Chen Ping'an walked up to the weird earth-shrinking talisman, he saw Lu Tai with a happy face. He winked at him and raised a new jade plaque in his hand, with the word "blue water" engraved on it.

It turned out that Lu Tai was very strapped for money, so he could only buy the cheapest Yun Zaifeng jade tablet, and then gave him a lot of deceptive words. Chen Pingan gave him a handful of summer money...

Lu Tai's steps were light and he walked towards Chen Ping'an's lichen lively and playfully, feeling proud and his face becoming more and more beautiful.

Before Chen Pingan disappeared, he couldn't help but cursed the "girl".
