Sword of Coming

Chen Ping'an was extremely familiar with the road back home from the capital city of Sui Dynasty to Longquan County of Dali.

He still tried his best to choose mountain roads with no one around. In addition to walking on the sky and earth piles, he also asked Zhu Lian to help him with his fists every day. The more he fought, the more he became more and more serious. Zhu Lian went from being in the sixth realm to the final peak of the seventh realm. The commotion became louder and louder, which made Pei Qian worried. If the master hadn't been wearing that golden robe, how much more money would he have spent on clothes? During the first sparring session, Chen Ping'an called for a stop halfway through the fight. It turned out that his boots had torn a hole, so he had to take off his boots and fight Zhu Lian with his bare feet.

After leaving the Sui border, Chen Pingan put on straw sandals, which made Pei Qian very happy. Then Chen Pingan also made a pair for her, and Xiao Heitan couldn't stop laughing. The straw sandals were strong and made it easier to climb mountains and water than usual. The boots were more reliable, but they eventually hurt the feet. Fortunately, Chen Ping'an didn't insist on Pei Qian wearing them all the time. When Pei Qian used a needle to pick out the blisters on the soles of his feet, Zhu Lian was beside him and making sarcastic remarks. The old and the young were accustomed to verbal battles every day.

Chen Ping'an was sitting next to the stream, taking off his straw sandals and stepping into the water, his thoughts drifting away.

I can’t talk about the feeling of being close to home, but compared to my first trip back home, I have many more things to worry about: the ancestral home in Muping Lane, the down-and-out Mangosteen House, the purchase of the mountain mentioned by Wei Bo, the business of the two shops in Qilong Lane, There are many repairs to the clay Bodhisattva and Tianguan statues in the Immortal Tomb. Many of them are things that Chen Pingan has never thought about before, and he often thinks about them. As for returning to Longquan County, after that, I first went to Shujian Lake to visit Gu Can, and then went to Caiyi Country to visit the couple and the old woman who was good at cooking home-cooked meals, as well as the old swordsman Song Yu of Shushui Country. She needs to meet him, and he still owes the old man a hot pot meal. Chen Pingan also wants to show off to the old man. His beloved girl also likes him, and is not as scary as the old man Song said.

Cui Dongshan, Lu Tai, and even Liu Qingshan of the Lion Garden, Chen Pingan naturally yearned for the celebrities and celebrities with poetic and calligraphy in them, but it did not make Chen Pingan blindly move closer to them.

This is called liking the new and never getting tired of the old, so the more you save, the more you have.

Chen Pingan feels that this is a good habit. Like his talent in naming, it is one of the few "good tricks" that can make Chen Pingan feel proud.

Chen Ping'an suddenly turned to Pei Qian and said, "From now on, you and Li Huai and the others will travel together in the world. You don't have to be too restrained, and you don't have to imitate me everywhere."

Pei Qian said shyly: "I really want to learn from Master, but I can't learn from Master even if I want to."

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Pei Qian, from now on I will compile a book of flattery and it will be sold in the world. The money earned by then will have to be divided equally with you."

Pei Qian said seriously: "You are not allowed to go back on your word, we will split it 50-50!"

Zhu Lian reached out and tapped Pei Qian, "You, you will never be able to get out of the eyes of money."

Pei Qian imitated Li Huai, shook his head and made a face, saying, "If you don't want to listen, you're just a bastard chanting sutras."

Chen Ping'an smiled knowingly, "I heard from Li Huai that you have decided to dig for treasures together in the future?"

Zhu Lian joked: "Oh, what a magical couple, they decided to make a lifelong decision at such a young age?"

Pei Qian said angrily: "Li Huai and I are close friends in the world, so we are in love. Old cook, please stop talking about naughty things here!"

Then Pei Qian immediately changed his face and smiled at Chen Ping'an: "Master, you don't have to worry about me turning my elbows outward in the future. I'm not the kind of woman in the book who gets dizzy when seeing a man. I dug everything with Li Huai I have made an agreement with him to share the valuable treasures equally, and when the time comes, my share will definitely go into Master’s pocket.”

Chen Pingan laughed it off.

Afterwards, the group of people walked smoothly to the Huangting Kingdom County City, which was located on the bank of the Yujiang River. At that time, Chen Pingan and Cui Dongshan were walking here together. They saw several sword cultivators crossing the street with their swords, and they were very excited. At that time, Chen Pingan did not He could not stop it with his own strength at the time, so he could only watch with cold eyes.

As the old saying goes, a small demon in the temple is a big evil.

Not to mention the southern territory of Da Li, let’s talk about the territory of Sui Kingdom and the capital of Qingluan Kingdom. It seems that the Qi practitioners dare not act so unscrupulously.

On the contrary, in these small vassal states, in the prefectures, counties and big cities, the genealogical masters and the wild cultivators of the mountains and rivers were very indulgent. Even the common people were affected by disasters and considered themselves unlucky afterwards. Because there is nowhere to seek justice. The court is unwilling to take care of it, which is a thankless task, but the local officials dare not take care of it. Even if there are chivalrous people who are angry and resentful, they are powerless.

It was in this county that Cui Dongshan conquered the literary atmosphere of Zhilan Cao's library and gave birth to a girl in pink skirt who was actually a fire python, and a boy in green who was still dominating the territory under the jurisdiction of the Yujiang Water God.

The girl in the pink skirt belongs to those "literary spirits" who were born from famous articles and popular poems and songs. As for the little girl in green, according to Wei Bo's letter, she seems to have some connection with Lu Chen, so that this person is now The Taoist leader in charge of Bai Yujing wanted to take the boy in Tsing Yi to Qing Ming Tianxia, ​​but the boy in Tsing Yi did not agree, so Lu Chen left the golden lotus seed and asked Chen Pingan to stay in Luzhou, Beiju in the future. , help the boy in Tsing Yi, a water snake, to walk across the river and turn into a dragon.

Chen Pingan had no objection to this, or even much doubt.

The county and city are still lively. It seems that the people of Huangting Kingdom do not have much feelings about the change of the tribute paying country from the Gao family of the Great Sui Dynasty to the Song Dynasty of the Great Li Dynasty. The days are still leisurely.

However, I heard that the Great Li cavalry was marching south at that time, and one of the cavalry troops went south along the border between the Great Sui Dynasty and the Huangting Kingdom.

It can't be said that Qiu Bubu committed any crime, but it did not cause too much trouble in the Huang Tingguo government and the public.

Along the way deep into the hinterland of Huangting Kingdom, we can often hear the discussions among the people in the market. Regarding the invincibility of the Dali cavalry, they actually reveal a sense of pride as a citizen of Dali. Regarding the wise decision of the Emperor of Huangting Kingdom, he was skeptical from the beginning. Waiting and watching has now turned into overwhelming recognition and appreciation.

At the same time, the Ziyang Mansion, Yujiang River, Hanshijiang River, and Five Sacred Mountains of the Huangting Kingdom became the first immortal mansions and landscape gods recognized by the Dali court, and they were in the limelight for a while.

As dusk approached, Pei Qian was undoubtedly the happiest after entering the city. Although there was still a long way to go from the Dali border, she was getting closer and closer to Longquan County, as if she was going home with every step she took. , the whole person has been glowing with joy recently.

Zhu Lian didn't feel much at all. He probably still regarded himself as a rootless duckweed, floating around without ever touching the ground. It was just a change of scenery to see. However, Zhu Lian was still curious about Longquan County, which was once a small cave. Especially after learning that there was a master of the End of the World in Luopo Mountain, Zhu Lian wanted to see him.

Only Shi Rou was full of anxiety.

Chen Ping'an chatted intermittently, and Cui Dongshan described to her how Longquan County was like a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Shi Rou always felt that she would be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth with this immortal relic.

In particular, Cui Dongshan deliberately teased "It's not easy for immortals to survive", which made Shi Rou even more worried.

When Chen Ping'an entered the city, he first bought some scattered items, then chose a downtown restaurant, had a few drinks with Zhu Lian, bought two jars of wine, and then went to find an inn to stay.

When Chen Ping'an walked through the bustling streets of this county town again, he didn't meet the "chic" swordsman in the game world.

Otherwise, Chen Ping'an wouldn't mind if they hurt people wantonly and would knock them off the flying sword with one punch.

As for whether there will be subsequent turmoil and several mountain ancestors being implicated, Chen Ping'an doesn't mind.

After walking through the territory of Daoxuan Mountain and Liangzhou, you will know that in small vassal countries such as Huangting Kingdom, generally speaking, Jindan Dixian is already the leader of the country's immortal masters and is unattainable. Besides, if he really met the Nascent Soul cultivator, Chen Ping'an wouldn't dare say that he could win in a single battle. With Zhu Lian, a far-traveling warrior who was able to dominate the battle, and someone who could swallow a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivation Flying Sword and remain unharmed. Shi Rou, running away is not difficult after all.

For example, that group of people stayed at the private residence of Huang Tingguo's old minister of household affairs who was hidden in the mountains. Cheng, the old minister, was the author of "The Collection of Iron Sword Flicks" which was well-known in the northern literary circles of Aquarius Continent. He was a great scholar in Huangting Kingdom.

Chen Pingan later learned that the old minister actually traveled the world with different identities and appearances in the history of Huang Tingguo. At that time, the old minister warmly entertained Chen Pingan and his party who happened to pass by.

There is a big cliff near the elegant house, which is a beautiful place with a lot of tourists and wonderful scenery.

Later, Cui Dongshan revealed the secret. The old servant was a dragon species leftover from the ancient Shu Kingdom that had been dormant for a long time. He had been recommended by his student personally and had been recruited by the Dali court to be the deputy head of Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain. The old dragon His eldest daughter is the founder of Ziyang Mansion, the largest mountain sect in Huang Ting Kingdom, and his youngest son is the God of Hanshi River Water. Among them, the eldest daughter of Lao Jiao is a golden elixir female Jiao. Limited by her own qualifications, she tried to use other methods of cultivation to finally break through the golden elixir bottleneck and become a Nascent Soul. Unfortunately, she still fell short. , within a hundred years, don’t think about going any further.

Those belonging to the dragon family are blessed with great blessings on the path of cultivation, but after forming the elixir, it becomes difficult to reach the sky.

The five biggest opportunities in Lizhu Cave Sky that year were the golden carp owned by Prince Gao Xuan of the Sui Dynasty, the four-legged snake that refused to stay in Chen Ping'an's ancestral home, the fire dragon that turned into a bracelet and entangled itself on Ruan Xiu's wrist, Zhao Yao's temporarily dormant wood-carved Chilong paperweight, plus the loach that Chen Ping'an personally caught and gave to Gu Can. The reason why they are so coveted is that they will rise to Yuanying without any hindrance. Who can Raising one of them means having a follower whose combat power is equivalent to that of a Jade Pu Realm monk.

In Aquarius Continent, where there are only a handful of Five Realm monks on the mainland, which monk wouldn't be jealous?

Moreover, these five dragons who are very close to the true dragon bloodline, once they recognize their master and are soul-involved with each other, they will be able to continuously feed their master's body. Invisibly, it is equivalent to finally giving the master a body equivalent to that of a pure martial artist in the Golden Body Realm. Strong physique.

When Chen Pingan was about to take the lead into an inn, he and Zhu Lian turned to look at the street.

A tall woman with an indifferent face came slowly, walked up to Chen Ping'an and the others, smiled, and said in straight Dali Mandarin: "Mr. Chen, my father and your Dali Beiyue Zhengshen Wei Bo are My good friend, I am now the deputy headmaster of Linlu Academy, and I once entertained Mr. Chen. Before leaving Huang Tingguo, my father told me that if Mr. Chen passes by here in the future, I must do my best to serve as a landlord and not neglect it. Not long ago, I received a letter home from Piyun Mountain, so I have been waiting nearby for a long time. I hope you will forgive me if these snoops have offended Mr. Chen. Here, I sincerely ask Mr. Chen to come to my Ziyang Mansion for a few days. day."

Chen Ping'an asked: "Because I am in a hurry, if I decline my senior today, will it cause trouble to my senior?"

It was Lao Jiao's eldest daughter and the tall and slender woman who founded Ziyang Mansion and said with a smile: "Of course not, but I really hope Mr. Chen can stay in Ziyang Mansion for a day or two. The scenery there is not bad, and there are some specialties from the mountains. , it’s pretty good. If Mr. Chen doesn’t agree, I won’t be scolded by my father and the Mountain God. But if Mr. Chen is willing to give me this face, I will definitely be able to be punished by my father. Remember this with Wei Zhengshen. A small credit.”

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then we will bother the seniors for a day or two?"

A tall woman who was a relic of the ancient Shu dragon species took out a small carving boat as small as a woman's finger and threw it on the ground. When the mist filled the air, a miniature boat with carved railings and painted buildings suddenly appeared, three stories high. , it doesn’t matter if there are forty or fifty people on board, but fortunately when she is throwing this nuclear carving magic weapon, the woman has silently waved her sleeves and gently pulled the pedestrians on the street to both sides of the street.

At the same time, she twisted out a stack of talisman papers of different colors from her sleeves. After letting go, the talisman papers fell to the ground, and a slim and beautiful girl appeared. She looked at them and couldn't recognize them a moment ago. Or a stack of talisman paper figurines.

They were agile and quickly moved out a boarding plank from the building ship.

The tall woman smiled and said, "Master, please board the ship."

Pei Qian could not take his eyes off it. He felt that in the future he would also have two treasures like the ship and the talisman, and he would buy them even though he was selling iron, because it was so prestigious!

Chen Pingan patted Pei Qian on the head and led her to board the ship with the tall female cultivator.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the building boat slowly took off into the sky, sailing far away in the wind at an extremely fast speed, spanning ten miles in a blink of an eye.

Standing on this Xianjia ferry owned by the ancestors of Ziyang Mansion, under your feet is the Yujiang River that winds for nearly a thousand miles.

Chen Pingan stood by the railing and looked at the picturesque mountains and rivers on the ground with Pei Qian.

Chen Ping'an thought of his hometown for no reason, as well as the counties and small town markets on the way to Longquan County. Those mountains and beautiful waters were firmly remembered in Chen Ping'an's mind as soon as he walked through them.

I thought of some people from my hometown again.

Among the classmates who left Lizhu Dongtian with Ma Fuzi from the school, Li Huai and Lin Shouyi eventually followed Chen Pingan and Li Huai.

One of Dong Shuijing and Shi Chunjia chose to stay in their hometown, while the other moved to Dali Capital with their family.

In fact, Chen Pingan has a very good impression of them. One has a simple temperament, probably because of similar origins. Chen Pingan was closest to Chen Pingan back then. The other has pigtails, lively and cute, and looks smart and smart.

Chen Ping'an doesn't think their choice is wrong.

Deep in Chen Pingan's heart, he hopes that the mountains and rivers of his hometown will remain the same. Whether they are those like Dong Shuijing and Shi Chunjia who have stayed in their hometown, or those like Liu Xianyang, Gu Can and Zhao Yao who have left their hometown, they still have the green mountains and rivers of their hometown in their hearts. .

Of course, on his way back home this time, Chen Ping'an also had to pay a visit to the ghostly mansion of a married woman hanging in a beautiful place.

I need to talk to her about some of the things I had been holding back in my stomach back then.
