Sword of Coming

The old master who visited Donghua Mountain was invited by the deputy headmaster of Shanya Academy to preach and teach at Quanxue Hall this afternoon.

Chen Ping'an and Pei Qian walked across the corridor, and outside the leafy Quanxue Hall, they happened to catch up with the lecture and saw Li Baoping gliding through the sea of ​​people like a little koi, and he immediately took the lead and ran away. After leaving the hospital, Li Baoping clenched his fist to reward himself. Soon he saw Chen Ping'an and Pei Qian, and Li Baoping quickened his pace. Pei Qian looked at Li Baoping who was flying around the academy and admired her more and more. Sister Baoping was really fearless.

After the three met, they went to the guest house together. Li Baoping and Chen Pingan told many interesting things. For example, when the old master was giving a lecture, there was a snow-white elk sitting next to him. It is said that it was when the old master opened a private academy. , the gods sensed that the white deer was waiting for the master, so that the academy built in the deep mountains and old forests could be protected from wild beasts and mountain spirits.

Li Baoping finally said that the white deer next to Old Master Zhao seemed not as beautiful as the one that Sister He from Shengaozong brought into our Lizhu Cave back then.

Chen Ping'an felt a headache when he thought of He Xiaoliang, and even more so when he thought about his future plans. He just hoped that he would never see this woman who was the most blessed woman in the world again in this life.

Back then, at the stone cliff by the Longxu River, Chen Ping'an met He Xiaoliang, the representative of Shengaozong, who represented the unified lineage of Taoism, for the first time. He had seen the shining white deer. Afterwards, he casually asked Cui Dongshan about it, and then he learned about it. The elk is not a simple deer. Its snow-white appearance is just a deception trick used by Taoist Lord Qi Zhen. In fact, it is a colorful deer that is coveted by monks in the five realms. Since ancient times, only those with good fortune and good fortune can keep it by their side.

At that time, the head coach Lu Chen used the supreme Taoist method to build a long bridge of destiny between him and He Xiaoliang, so that after the Lizhu Cave Sky shattered and sank, Chen Pingan and He Xiaoliang could share the same fate. Of course there is something here Lu Chen's far-reaching plan for Mr. Qi's cultural background, this kind of tug-of-war on psyche, is extremely dangerous, repeated again and again, if it had been anyone else, I'm afraid he would have been somewhere on the twelfth floor of the fifth city of White Jade Capital in the Qingming world. It looks like a beautiful scenery, but in fact it is reduced to a puppet.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an felt deeply about the four words "good fortune and misfortune depend on each other".

It's just that Chen Pingan's character, although he has not been drawn to Lu Chen's side in Baiyujing, has also unknowingly left many "roots of illness". For example, Chen Pingan has been repelling the search for the secret realm of the Broken Cave Paradise until he went to Lu Tai. After the trip, and then Zhu Lian's unintentional words, Chen Ping'an began to seek change, and became more determined for the inevitable trip to Luzhou in Beiju in the future.

That place is known as a place where swordsmen are as good as the forest and where martial arts is the most respected in the world. Even the saints of the Confucian Academy were so angry that they beat the earthly immortal to make sense.

Chen Pingan wants to go there to practice swordsmanship.

Just one person.

The purest form of sword training.

Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "Master's lecture, how did it go?"

Li Baoping thought for a while and said: "There is a book written by this admirer of Mr. Zhao, who said that when the Master lectures, if there is a lone crane coming across the river from the east, it will suddenly roar, and the river will surge and the moon will turn white. I listened to it for a long time , I think there is some truth in it, but it is not as exaggerated as what is said in the book. However, the most powerful thing about this old master is the insight of climbing up the tower and looking at the sea. He admires the use of poetry to "meet" the sages and ancients. For hundreds of generations, he can still resonated with him, and then further elaborated and introduced his knowledge of heavenly science. However, in this lecture, the old master was very detailed and only selected one Confucian classic as the object of exegesis. He did not bring out the special skills of his cultural background. I am a little bit I’m disappointed. If I hadn’t been in such a hurry to find my uncle, I would have asked the old master when he would be able to deal with human nature.”

Chen Ping'an thought for a while and asked: "Is this old master from the lineage of Saint Lu from Ehu Academy in Nanbosu Island?"

Li Baoping smiled brightly and said: "You know so much, little uncle! No, the ancestor of Master Zhao is none other than the Sage Lu who is known as 'who has the world in his mind and the vast sea in his heart'."

Chen Ping'an remembered the record in the book "Shan Hai Zhi" given to Yu Lu. Lu Shengren had a good relationship with Chunru Chen. I wonder if Liu Xianyang has a chance to meet him.

Pei Qian always wanted to interrupt, but he was confused from beginning to end. He was afraid that the secret would be exposed as soon as he opened his mouth, and instead he would be looked upon as a fool by Master and Sister Aquarius, so he felt a little disappointed.

Fortunately, Chen Ping'an pulled Pei Qian's ear and lectured: "Did you see that your sister Aquarius knows so many schools of knowledge and their essence? Even though you are not an academy student, studying is not your profession... …”

Pei Qian stamped his feet and said aggrievedly: "Master, she is Sister Aquarius. How can I compare with her? How about comparing myself to someone else, like Li Huai? He has been studying in the academy for so many years. Compared with him, I still suffer."

Chen Pingan stopped nagging, laughed, let go of his hand, and patted Pei Qian on the head, "You are the only one who is smart."

After returning to the guest house, Yu Lu was waiting there early, standing side by side with Zhu Lian under the eaves, and seemed to be chatting with Zhu Lian very well.

With Yu Lu around, Chen Pingan felt more at ease.

It was Yu Lu who silently put the final word on the turmoil in the academy and beat the sage Li Changying down Donghua Mountain in front of a sword cultivator.

After Chen Ping'an had eaten, he continued to go to Mao Xiaodong's study to talk about refining natal objects, and asked Yu Luduo to help look at the money. Yu Lu agreed with a smile.

After Chen Pingan left, Li Baoping said he wanted to go back to the dormitory to take notes from Master's lecture today. Pei Qian made an excuse not to follow, and then went to Chen Pingan's guest dormitory to move out the bamboo box and take out Duobao. Box, she and Li Huai had a secret master battle at the top of Donghua Mountain.

Yu Lu accompanied Pei Qian to climb the mountain, but Zhu Lian had left silently, following Chen Ping'an's instructions to secretly protect Li Baoping.

When they reached the top of Donghua Mountain, Li Huai was already sitting upright there, with the delicate yellow wooden box of good origin in front of him.

Pei Qian grinned and placed the treasure box on the table.

Yu Lu squatted on the stone bench and looked at the two children confronting each other, finding it interesting.

After Li Huai saw the treasure box, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, "Pei Qian, you make the first move!"

Pei Qian sneered and opened the treasure box that Yao Jinzhi had given him back then. It was in a nine-square format. Inside, there were exquisite and small wood-carved Ganoderma lucidum, as well as a few rare rare coins purchased by Yao Jinzhi, which can be called a famous fountain, and a piece of years. The long-standing and heavily patinated Taoist token is carved with a red-faced beard, golden armor and red robe, and a Taoist spirit official statue with open eyes between the eyebrows. Master Chen Ping'an has identified it. Except for the Lingguan token and the wooden Ganoderma lucidum, most of them are worldly treasures and cannot be regarded as immortals. Household weapon.

Pei Qian gently took out the token and placed it on the table, "Please accept the move!"

Li Huai opened the delicate yellow box and took out a clay figure of a knight-errant wielding a sword. He folded his arms around his chest and said, "I have a sword fairy to defend myself against the enemy, and I can also kill the enemy. What should you do?"

Pei Qian immediately took out the piece of wood-carved Ganoderma lucidum with delicate texture and simple shape. "Even if you are struck by the sword of your general, Ganoderma lucidum is a great tonic and can prolong your life! Do your best!"

Li Huai groaned and took out the second clay sculpture, which was a watchman with gongs and drums, "beat the gongs and drums, I'll make you die!"

Pei Qian sneered and took out the famous fountains and put them on the table, "Money can make the world go round. Be careful that your minions rebel and in turn make noise with gongs and drums outside your window! It's your turn!"

Li Huai placed the third clay figurine, which was a statue of an armored general. "These generals on the battlefield are the most loyal to me. If you use money, you will never come back if you only know how to beat a dog with a meat bun!"

Then Li Huai took out a Taoist clay figurine of a fly whisk, "This is an immortal master who lives in a Taoist temple on the mountain. If a fly whisk is thrown over, it can overwhelm the rivers and seas. Do you admit defeat?"

Pei Qian did not take out the treasure from the treasure box this time. Instead, he carefully took out the sachet and money bag given by Mrs. Gui from his sleeve. He turned around first and poured out the private money and cinnamon twigs and cinnamon leaves inside, hiding it. After finishing it, he put the sachet that exuded a fresh and fragrant scent on the table, "My Qiankun Bag can contain all kinds of magical arts and magic weapons. The whisk of an old Taoist priest with a smelly nose is nothing!"

Then Pei Qian put the crystal clear and lovely cinnamon branch on the table and started to brag again, "This is a branch of the moon palace laurel tree. If you throw it on the ground, a tree bigger than the building will grow tomorrow." Want a tall laurel tree!"

Li Huai quickly took out the last clay figurine, which looked like a fairy riding a crane. "My maid's mount is a crane. I can secretly steal your cinnamon branches!"

Pei Qian took off his bamboo sword from his waist and slapped it heavily on the table, "One sword cut off the crane's claws, and one sword cut off the maid's head!"

Li Huai finally took out the painted puppet of his number one general. It was half an arm high and far larger than the set of clay figurines presented by the Wei and Jin Dynasties in Fengxue Temple. "Grab your sword with one hand and your sword with the other!"

After that, the two began to do whatever they could.

The small, refined hiking stick, and the rest of the worldly objects in the treasure box are just valuable but not helpful for spiritual practice.

Li Huai took out the book "Broken Water Cliff", and even the Jingmei who lived in it when A Liang slapped her into the book also took it out and said.

But generally speaking, Pei Qian had the upper hand.

The stone table was filled with a dazzling array of belongings belonging to Pei Qian and Li Huai.

Yu Lu watched the intrigue between the two little guys with great interest.

Finally, Li Huai let out a long sigh, clasped his fists and said, "Okay, I lost. My skills are inferior to others, and I am just one move behind in chess. I, Li Huai, am an upright man and can afford to lose!"

Pei Qian crossed his arms across his chest, nodded, and looked at Li Huai with appreciative eyes, "It doesn't matter, you are called glory in defeat. In the world, there are only a handful of heroes who can compete with me for so many rounds!"

Li Huai turned his head and said to Lu: "Yu Lu, you are lucky to have seen this peak battle."

Pei Qian said angrily: "I'm not the kind of person who likes fame, so just remember Yu Lu yourself and don't need to publicize it everywhere."

Li Huai and Pei Qian looked at each other and grinned in unison.

Cherish each other.

Pei Qian thought that when Li Huai went on a study tour in the future, he must let him know what a true martial arts master was, and what it meant to be the best swordsman and domineering swordsmanship in the world.

Li Huai thought about leaving the academy for a long trip in the future, and he would definitely take Pei Qian with him to travel around the world, and he would feel more at ease if they could chat together again.

Yu Lu squatted aside silently, amazed.

Not only were they amazed that the two little guys could own so many precious things, but they were also impressed by how thick-skinned and similar they were.

Because Li Huai skipped school and came here, there were no academy students or visitors visiting the mountain top at the moment. This saved Yu Lu a lot of trouble and allowed the two of them to slowly start packing up their belongings.

Yu Lu is the Crown Prince of the Lu Dynasty, and the Lu family was famous for its "rich treasures" in the north of Aquarius Continent. Among the group of people, excluding Chen Ping'an, his vision may be better than Xie Xie who practices in the mountains. Therefore, Yu Lu knew that the wealth of the two little guys was almost comparable to that of monks in the Dragon Gate Realm, and even some golden elixir immortals among wild cultivators. If their natal belongings were put aside, they might not have such a rich family fortune.

Yu Lu joked to Pei Qian: "Pei Qian, aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of my wealth?"

Yu Lu knew Li Huai's temperament very well, and he had a big heart, so he would not ask this question.

Pei Qian rolled his eyes at Yu Lu, feeling a little disgusted. He felt that this guy named Yu Lu didn't seem to be very bright. "You are my master's friend. Can I not believe in your character?"

Yu Lu was speechless.

————

Over there in the study room, after the two of them had deduced all the details of refining objects together, Mao Xiaodong slapped the ruler on his waist, and pieces of heavenly materials and earthly treasures used to refine golden bile floated out of the ruler and landed on the table. , a total of eighteen kinds, different sizes, with high and low prices. There are still six pieces missing at the moment, four of which can be sent to Cliff Academy soon, and two more are more difficult. They are not replaceable, but more or less. It will affect the final grade of the golden bile after refining. After all, Mao Xiaodong has very high expectations for this. He hopes that Chen Pingan can refine a perfect and flawless natal object in Donghua Mountain where he is stationed, and sit in the second place of Qi. Mansion.

Mao Xiaodong kept some words in his stomach and did not tell Chen Pingan. First, he wanted to give Chen Pingan an unexpected surprise, and second, he was worried that Chen Pingan would be worried about gains and losses, which would be unsightly.

Once the golden gallbladder is successfully refined, it can be like a powerful prince opening a mansion, or like a general on the battlefield erecting a big banner. It can accelerate the speed of absorbing spiritual energy at a special time and place, such as the five elements of gold stems and branches, Geng , Xin, Shen, You. The suitable places to absorb spiritual energy are the two places due west and southwest of Lingshan and Xiushui. Furthermore, gold is righteousness, and it is responsible for killing. If a practitioner is chivalrous and righteous, has a strong character, and has a strong killing spirit, he will get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, it is known as "The autumn wind blows loudly, ringing like bells and drums, why worry about not being famous in the court."

It's just that these mysteries are mostly potentials possessed by all five-element gold natal objects in the world. Chen Ping'an's golden literary courage has a more secret layer of opportunities.

Mao Xiaodong was able to learn the inside story only after reading the records in an extremely obscure and isolated book. Even Cui Dongshan didn't know it.

Refining a very high-grade golden gallbladder, as a natal object, is difficult to find and cannot be obtained. However, as long as it is flawless and the most important thing is to refine it, more than He is the kind of Taoist who has good luck and is good at killing, and his character must be consistent with the literary spirit contained in literary courage, and then it is refined by the superior method of refining things. The links are linked together without any flaws, and finally it is refined. Only with golden literary bold can one reach a mysterious and mysterious realm, "Morality is one's own, so one should not be confused by external things"!

Entering a place of filth and evil, I dare not say that I will be able to be immune to all evil and keep all evil things and ghosts in the world at bay. At least I can innately suppress and defeat those existences that are not regarded as orthodox in the world.

This effect is similar to the dragons that lived in the lakes and seas of Jiangdu in ancient times. They were born to be able to drive and frighten thousands of aquatic people.

Mao Xiaodong put away his thoughts, and while Chen Pingan carefully looked at the treasures of heaven and earth, he said slowly: "In the past few days, we try to avoid the crowded daytime and visit the Confucian Temple and other places in the capital of the Sui Dynasty at night. In a place rich in cultural fortune, I need to retrieve and advance some cultural fortune from the gods, some of which our Cliff Academy is equivalent to...'deposited' with them. To put it in a philistine sense, it is actually equivalent to dividends from business. Even the Gao family and the Rites Yamen of the Sui Dynasty will turn a blind eye to this. After all, they are just taking back Donghua Mountain for me. As you said, Donghua Mountain is still the territory of the Sui Dynasty."

Mao Xiaodong reminded: "During this period, you just stand by my side, I don't need to say anything. The reason why I brought you with me is to try to see if there is a literary opportunity that is unique to you. Why, do you feel awkward? Chen Ping'an, This is why you are thinking wrong. In fact, you only know the superficial aspects of the debate about Confucian cultural context. You only look at its appearance and don’t understand its meaning. In short, you don’t have to think about it for the time being. Just do what I say. I’m not asking you to argue about it. Don't be nervous if you recognize your ancestors and return to your clan."

Chen Pingan nodded, "Okay."

Mao Xiaodong said bluntly: "Now the capital of the Sui Dynasty is brewing evil winds and evil rains, and it is very uneasy. This time I take you out of the academy, and I have an idea. It can help you get out of the dilemma, but there will be danger, and No, do you have any ideas?"

Mao Xiaodong clearly wanted to use himself as bait.

Chen Pingan said worriedly: "Of course I am willing, but Master Maoshan, if you leave the academy, it is equivalent to leaving a world of saints. Once the other party comes prepared, the first person to target is Master Maoshan who is in the academy. In this way, how can Master Maoshan Isn’t it very dangerous?”

"If you want to deal with me, even if you leave Donghua Mountain, the opponent must have a Jade Purity monk to be sure."

Mao Xiaodong laughed and said: "But do you think that the upper five monks in Aquarius Continent are the gadgets collected by Pei Qian and Li Huai, and they can just show them off casually? The only Yupu monk in the Sui Dynasty , is an ancestor of the Geyang Gao family, and is a storyteller who is not good at fighting. He has already gone to Piyun Mountain in your hometown. In addition, the great monk of Tongyezhou Ascension Realm has died, and the Glazed Gold The pieces of his body are scattered in the sky above Aquarius Continent. Those thousand-year-old bastards who are qualified to compete, such as Qi Zhen, the Heavenly Lord of Shen Gao Sect, the ancestor of the Jiang family who is rumored to have secretly entered the immortal realm, and Feng Wei Du Yexiu. The Jade Pu Realm monk, these guys must be busy in a battle of wits, otherwise the rest, like the Fengxue Temple Wei and Jin Dynasties, gathered in the middle of Aquarius Continent, preparing to fight against the Tian of Beiju Luzhou. Jun Xie Shi fought hard."

Mao Xiaodong sighed: "There are more than 200 dynasties and vassals in Aquarius Continent, big and small, but how many upper five realm monks are there in the local area? You can count them on one hand. When Cui Chan and Qi Jingchun arrived, Before Aquarius Continent, when one's luck was bad, one might be even more shabby, just one hand would do. So no wonder the monks from other continents looked down on Aquarius Continent. They were really incomparable with others. This was true in all aspects. Well, I should say except for martial arts. , after all, Song Changjing and Li Er appear one after another, and they are so young, which is very shocking."

Chen Ping'an then told the story about Shanshi Daofang's reward for the head of Song Dynasty.

Mao Xiaodong smiled and said: "The world is accustomed to looking down on Aquarius Continent. When you travel to other continents in the future, if you say that you are from the smallest Aquarius Continent, you will definitely be looked down upon by others. Let's talk about the construction of Cliff Academy. Chu, do you know what the only thing Qi Jingchun accomplished in those twenty or thirty years was?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, "I don't know."

Mao Xiaodong smiled and said: "That is, after working hard to cultivate a number of reading seeds for the Dali Dynasty, they all wanted to go to the more famous Guanhu Academy to study. For this reason, Qi Jingchun did not stop him. , the most ridiculous thing is that Qi Jingchun still needs to write letters of recommendation to those young scholars and say good things for them so that they can stay in Guanhu Academy smoothly."

Chen Pingan was stunned.

Mao Xiaodong looked indifferent, "At that time, almost all scholars in the Great Li Dynasty felt that the teachings of your Aquarius sages, even a wise man from Guanhu Academy, could speak better than the mountain master from Cliff Academy. "

There was silence in the study for a long time.

Mao Xiaodong turned to look out the window and laughed at himself: "So from our husband, to Qi Jingchun, and finally to me, Mao Xiaodong, no one can be sure about who is the direct disciple of the Eight Classics." It’s hard to tell how many of them are real disciples who have entered the family, and who is the real disciple who has closed the door. Chen Ping’an, do you think it’s fun? Looking at the other major cultural backgrounds, it’s called an orderly inheritance and strict laws. What a good one. The stars gather together, creating a magnificent scene.”

Chen Ping'an didn't know what to say, so he took off the sword gourd and took a sip of wine.

Mao Xiaodong walked to the window and before he knew it, it was a scene of moonlight and stars.

The tall old man turned his head and saw that the young man who still refused to admit that he was his junior brother was hesitating whether to continue drinking.
