Sword of Coming

Just when Zhu Lian thought that he would have nothing to do with this ghost hunting trip, the door of the mansion opened and someone walked out.

Zhu Lian couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you the concubine of that female ghost? He's a pretty big deal. This man looks no worse than Mrs. Xiao Luan's Baihujiang God."

The man who walked out was tall and tall, wearing armor, and had a green snake with golden eyes entwining his arm. His breath was filled with white mist, like incense in a temple.

Chen Pingan recognized this person. He had appeared with Xu Ruo on the Xiuhua River. The person in front of him was most likely one of the water gods of the Xiuhua River or Yuye River.

Regarding Xiuhua River, Yuye River and Qidun Mountain, as well as this mansion, they are all very particular. Wei Bo once said frankly that they are all hidden existences used to suppress the remaining luck of Shenshui Kingdom, so they are also the righteous gods of Jiangshui, Embroidery, and Jade. The Yeliangjiang God is slightly higher in rank than the Great Li Water God who has similar jurisdiction over the water area.

The embroidered river god said solemnly: "Chen Ping'an secretly broke through the mountain and water barrier and broke into the Chu family's mansion without permission. According to the mountain sealing law formulated by Da Li, even a genealogy master will have his household registration revoked. , removed from the genealogy, and moved thousands of miles away!"

Chen Ping'an asked doubtfully: "That Mrs. Chu?"

The Embroidered River Goddess waved his hand: "She has left the mansion a long time ago, and there is a new owner here. Since you have the peace card with you, it has been recorded in the Ministry of Etiquette and allows you to leave quickly. This will not happen again."

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask Jiang Shen, where is Mrs. Chu now?"

The god of Jiang Shui, who appeared in a golden body, frowned and glanced at the long sword carried by Chen Ping'an. "I only know that Mrs. Chu went to Guanhu Academy, and a scholar died there. She wanted to collect the bones." , but she will definitely not return here in the near future."

Chen Pingan sighed, his trip must have been in vain. He felt a little sorry for the two yellow paper talismans, and apologized to the water god: "I was rash when I visited Mrs. Chu this time. I must pay attention next time."

The Water God sneered: "Is there a next time?"

Before Chen Pingan could say anything, the Water God squinted at the rickety old man, "Why, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a warrior in the Far Traveling Realm?"

Zhu Lian wiped his face, turned around, and said to Chen Pingan: "Master, please let me fight. This guy's face really deserves a beating. I will definitely pay the master a gold and copper coin back later. "

Chen Pingan's eyes first signaled to Zhu Lian that there was no need to test the truth. The ghost in the wedding dress was probably not in the house.

Chen Ping'an smiled at the water god and said, "We'll leave now."

At this moment, a billowing black smoke rose up from behind the Chu family's mansion. It surged forward with great momentum and turned into a human form after landing, wearing a black robe.

The embroidered river water god had an expressionless face, "Master Gu, aren't you repairing the water veins of the mountain roots?"

Chen Ping'an never thought that the current head of the palace was the Gu family's Yin Shen who had escorted them all the way, and he was Gu Can's father.

Yin Shen and Chen Pingan nodded, and then smiled at the water god and explained: "I sensed a monk breaking the barrier before, and thought that the water god happened to be at the house to check the progress, so I ignored it. I just thought about the chaos that is now spreading in Dali. , I was worried that the Sui monks wanted to forcibly destroy the foundation of this place, but I didn’t expect that an acquaintance was visiting.”

The Water God narrowed his eyes and said, "Back then, Palace Master Gu escorted Chen Pingan to Sui Dynasty, and we were indeed familiar with each other. I wonder if Palace Master Gu would like to invite Chen Pingan in, set up a banquet, and greet his friend?"

Gu's Yin Shen laughed and said: "Since I have become the master of Gu's Mansion, I naturally don't dare to delay the business at hand, so I will just chat with Chen Ping'an for a few words and send him out of the jurisdiction of Chu's Mansion."

"Repairing the roots of water veins is a delicate work that cannot be interrupted. I hope Master Gu will not delay too long, otherwise I will definitely do business and write you down in the official document." After the Water God put down these words, he turned around and walked in with a stride. Mansion.

Gu's Yin Shen thanked him with his fists, and then came to Chen Pingan. Before Chen Pingan, who looked surprised, could speak, he laughed and said: "I can't help it. I got a hard credit from the Rites Yamen for that errand back then. I have acquired the identity of a nondescript mountain god, so everything is out of my control and I can’t invite you to my house as a guest.”

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. There will be more opportunities in the future, and it's not far from Longquan County."

Gu's Yin Shen suddenly bowed his head to the end, and then said with a sad face: "Last time I traveled far away, I left without saying goodbye. Because I had my life on my side, I didn't dare to talk about a private matter without permission. Now I am one of the Great Li gods. Although Our responsibilities are ours and we cannot leave without permission, but I just took this opportunity to not hide anything anymore and save myself a worry."

Speaking of this, Gu's Yin Shen smiled and used his magical power to make the originally erratic and blurry face become clearer. He smiled and said, "Who do you think he looks more like?"

Chen Ping'an looked at him for a moment and said in shock: "Could it be?"

Gu's Yin Shen laughed heartily and clasped his fists again, "Chen Ping'an, without you, Gu Can would not have received such great blessings in vain! It is not too much for Gu to repay this kindness with death! "

Chen Pingan seemed to have not recovered for a long time and said: "No wonder I always felt that you were secretly peeking at me. At that time, I mistakenly thought that you had ulterior motives. Uncle Gu, you should have told me earlier!"

Afterwards, we chatted about trivial stories about old friends in Mu Ping Lane, and soon arrived near the mountain and water barrier. Gu's Yin Shen said bitterly: "Don't dare to violate the rules. By the way, as the Water God said, the Chu family's mansion is not well managed, and the mountains and rivers are The pulse is in dire straits, and it is already in a state of disconnection. I can't leave for too long, so I will send you away far away, and we will say goodbye here."

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "I am returning from Old Dragon City this time, because Shujian Lake is located in the middle of Aquarius Continent, and the war is in full swing, and the Xian family ferry is not willing to get into trouble. I plan to go to Shujian Lake to see Gu Can in the near future. , I wonder if Uncle Gu knows how Gu Can is doing now, and how well does Lord Jie Jiang treat him?"

Gu's Yin Shen laughed and said: "The two of them are very good. Xiao Can has become the direct disciple of Zhenjun Jiejiang. There is nothing to worry about. Otherwise, how could I stay here with peace of mind."

Chen Ping'an nodded, cupped his fists and said, "I wish Uncle Gu will rise to the throne soon!"

Gu's Yin Shen reminded in a low voice: "By the way, Chen Ping'an, have you heard that over there in your hometown, many of the Immortal Family forces that bought the hills in the past have begun to sell them at low prices. You'd better go back quickly, maybe you can even get a lower price." Don’t miss this opportunity to buy one or two mountains at a reasonable price.”

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I've heard about it, so Feijian summoned Piyunshan and asked Wei Bo to help take a look."

Gu's Yin Shen waved his sleeves, and a gate appeared out of thin air in the mountain and water barrier. Chen Ping'an stepped into it, turned around and said goodbye to Gu's Yin Shen with fists clasped in his hands.

Walking on the mountain road again, Chen Pingan said with emotion: "I never thought that Uncle Gu would become a Yin God and become the master of this mansion. I just didn't know when the three of them would be able to reunite."

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Although I didn't see the ghost girl in wedding clothes, my trip was worthwhile. Just like the Qidun Mountain that the young master said before, it was originally a quiet place where Wei Bo became a low-end god and earth god. In one fell swoop, it became the birthplace of the Great Li Beiyue Zhengshen. So, things in the world are unpredictable, but that’s it.”

Chen Pingan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to Hongzhu Town."

The two quickened their pace slightly and headed to Hongzhu Town where Pei Qianshirou was located.

After walking for dozens of miles from the top of the mountain, the two of them chatted all the way. Zhu Lian slowed down, cautiously, and with his martial arts ability of focusing sound into a line, he suddenly asked: "Master, what should you say next?"

Chen Ping'an's face remained as usual, and he also used his voice to form a line, and replied: "Don't worry, we will make the next step of planning when we get to Hongzhu Town, otherwise Uncle Gu will be in big trouble."

The gate of the Chu family's mansion.

The face of the embroidered river water god was gloomy. He looked at the palace master who was slowly returning and said sternly: "Gu Tao, I asked you to stay close to the main water supply of the palace and never leave! How dare you run out on your own?! "

The arm of the burly water god with the green snake around his arm shook. The green snake with golden eyes coiled on the ground after landing, and turned into a giant snake as thick as a bucket. Then it swam slowly, just in time to catch the owner and The palace master circled in a large circle, then raised his head high and stared coldly at Gu's Yin Shen.

The Water God stretched out his hand to grab it, and a long, refined spear appeared in his hand. Golden light flowed like water, and he sneered: "The Imperial Master has an order. As long as you make the slightest move beyond your limits, I will kill half of your soul! If you are not convinced, I will kill you." You can use the Chu family's mansion to try to resist."

Gu's Yin Shen remained motionless and said with a helpless face: "The reason why I showed up this time was just to tell the secret. It has been accumulated for too long and I won't be able to tell it quickly. The Water God came to visit this time and acted on orders, and he had already reminded me. , I accept the punishment! But I hope that before the execution, the Water God can tell you why I can’t even see Chen Pingan’s face? I hope that the Water God can give me a clear explanation, otherwise even if I accept the punishment, I will still be unwilling!"

The Embroidered River Water God stared at this Yin God. He was not hesitating whether to break half of the Yin God's soul, but whether to break all his souls directly.

Gu Tao's life and death are between two choices.

If you suffer a crime, you will definitely not be able to escape. However, Gu Tao is really needed to repair the fortune of the Chu family's mansion. After all, this place now belongs to the Beiyue realm. As the first new Five Mountains deity in the Great Li Dynasty, Wei Bo is increasingly revealing his deity, so when will Gu Tao be dismissed? For half of his soul, in addition to asking the National Master, according to the laws of Dali Mountains and Rivers, he also needs to report to Wei Bo.

This means that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

If Gu Tao hadn't shown the slightest sign of persuading Chen Ping'an to go to Shujian Lake from beginning to end, and instead persuaded Chen Ping'an to return to his hometown to buy a mountain, Gu Tao would have died by now.

This is also reasonable. The rumors about Shujian Lake that Gu Tao learned from Hongzhu Town several times privately were actually the news that the Dali spies wanted the palace master to know.

The water god threw the long spear out without any warning, penetrated the Yin God's abdomen, and nailed it into the ground at an angle. The golden light of the long spear bloomed, directly burning a hole in Gu Tao's body, and he transformed from the body of Yin into the golden body of the god. Gu Tao's body still suffered a heavy blow.

Gu Tao was indeed a tough man. He remained silent, his face began to distort, and black smoke billowed out from his body.

The water god stretched out his hand and spread out a scroll. The mountains and rivers of the Chu family's mansion governed all the scenes in the territory. As the water god's mind changed, the scroll pictures quickly changed and changed, and the people and things on the painting appeared in every detail.

Open another picture, which is the territory under the jurisdiction of Xiuhua River.

He said in a cold tone: "As long as there is a little hint that makes me suspicious, I would rather kill you by mistake."

Gu Tao, who still had a golden thorn piercing through his abdomen, said angrily: "Are you crazy?! How could the Imperial Preceptor let you act so wantonly! Do you really think I don't know that you have admired Mrs. Chu for hundreds of years?" Years?! Why, now that I have occupied Mrs. Chu’s mansion, you are dissatisfied with me and must get rid of me quickly? Why bother to accuse me? Well, well, well, I have learned a lesson from you, the embroidered river god The amount of belly!"

The Water God ignored the grief-stricken Gu Tao at all, and just stared down at Chen Pingan and Zhu Lian on a scroll, observing their expressions and conversations, not wanting to let go of every detail.

As for what the Imperial Master is planning, the Embroidered River Water God is not interested at all, and does not dare to have the idea of ​​​​exploring it, not at all.

During the more than one hundred years of the Great Li Dynasty,

For this national advisor who always stands in the shadow of His Majesty the Emperor, every time he steps out of the shadow, it will bring about a bloody storm, with heads falling, no matter it is a powerful nobleman or an immortal master on the mountain, there is no exception, no matter how you are ranked What kind of earthly immortals are the central ministers and frontier officials of Yaojin?

Either he disappears or he ends up worse than dead.

The Water God waved his hand and drove the long spear back to his hand, "You quickly return to the mansion and repair the local luck, and wait for your fate, whether it is life or death, you wish for the best of luck."

Gu Tao stretched out his hand to cover his abdomen. His golden body was injured and his Taoism was damaged, which made the Yin God in great pain. "You should know my general roots, so this matter is not over!"

The Water God looked indifferent, "Our biggest backer, Dali, is the laws established by the Imperial Master with the help of His Majesty the Emperor."

Along the soft and beautiful Xiuhua River, we came to the still noisy Hongzhu Town.

Once in a bookstore here, Chen Ping'an bought Li Huai a copy of "Big Cliff Broken Water".

Pei Qian and Shi Rou stayed at the inn where Chen Pingan stayed before.

After entering the room, Pei Qian, who was about to tell his master about the interesting things about Hongzhu Town, glanced at Chen Pingan and immediately stopped talking.

Zhu Lian closed the door and stood near the window. Chen Pingan became silent.

Chen Ping'an's first sentence was straight to the point, "I don't plan to return to Longquan County yet. Zhu Lian, you protect Pei Qian Shirou to Luo Mountain. There is a Xianjia Ferry in Huangting State. I will try there to see if there is any If the ferry to Shujian Lake is not possible, just walk to Shujian Lake. Once you get to Longquan County, it will be even harder to leave."

Zhu Lian thought for a moment and said slowly: "I know the art of disguise, so why not let me pretend to be the young master, and the young master can pretend to be someone at will, and then find a suitable opportunity, and the young master will leave Hongzhu first?" Town, let’s stay here for a few more days. This is a little safer, and it may not be able to hide the truth, so let’s just think it is better than nothing.”

Shi Rou was confused.

Pei Qian was even more confused.

Zhu Lian said softly: "Master, you said it yourself, don't rush everything, take your time."

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know it."

Zhu Lian nodded, "The young master should be careful, otherwise Cui Dongshan will definitely lose in this fight in Longquan County."

From the moment the Embroidered River Water God showed up first, and Uncle Gu arrived later, Chen Ping'an noticed a familiar aura.

So Chen Pingan chose to remain silent at that time, waiting for Uncle Gu to speak, instead of just blurting out Uncle Gu.

as expected.

There was something in Uncle Gu's words, and he revealed the identity of Gu Can's father "for the first time".

Chen Ping'an then cooperated with Uncle Gu in the scene.

What kind of person reminded Chen Ping'an to quickly return to Longquan County to buy Shantou.

The two girls have nothing to worry about in Shujian Lake.

As long as Chen Pingan listens to everyone in turn, everything will be fine.

In addition, the two of them have a good understanding of each other. They never speak another word or make eye contact.

Because the embroidered river god must be spying in secret.

Next, Zhu Lian began to help work out the details. For example, tonight he went to drink the unique boat girl wine in Hongzhu Town. There were many people there, which was the best place for people to spy on him. Chen Pingan took off the piece of clothing that he had to wear to the slips. Hu's robe was made of gold and Li, and he changed it into a green shirt so that Zhu Lian could pretend to be Chen Ping'an and go to Luolu Mountain. Without the gold, it would be too abrupt.

Zhu Lian and Chen Ping'an checked each other's mistakes and filled in the gaps.

Pei Qian sat aside obediently and would not make a joke at this time.

Shi Rou protected the window position.

She would no longer think that Zhu Lian's suggestion to drink the flower wine was just for personal gain.

That night, Chen Ping'an and Zhu Lian left the inn and had a drink of wine. Chen Ping'an sat upright and Zhu Lian was like a fish in water. They chatted with the boatman's daughter so much that the young woman felt like she was born to you before I was born.

The next day, Chen Pingan took Pei Qian to visit Hongzhu Town, buying various items, as if he was close to his hometown and winter was about to come, so he could start preparing for the New Year.

A middle-aged man with an average appearance left Hongzhu Town quietly.

Instead of taking a ferry to march down the Xiuhua River, I took a busy official road to the border, near the pass. Instead of passing the customs clearance document and entering the Huangting Kingdom, I was like the wild monk of Shanze who didn't like to be restrained. Crossing the mountains with ease, we continued on our way day and night.

After a long journey, we arrived at a fairy ferry in Huang Tingguo. The middle-aged man did not ask the deacon at the ferry. He just chatted and learned that there was no ferry directly to Shujian Lake. The route had long been stagnant, so he chose one to go there. There is a ferry named Gusu Mountain. It is said that if you change the ferry there, you can go to a vassal state of the Zhuying Dynasty. After that, you can only walk to Shujian Lake.

The man paid a fortune and got a private room on the ferry, living in seclusion.

When they arrived at Mount Gusu, the man heard another bad news. Now even the ferries to the vassal country of the Zhu Ying Dynasty had stopped.

The man stayed in Gusu Mountain for a day, walking around, and finally spent a lot of money. With the fairy money that was far higher than the market price, he paid half of the price first and directly hired a private ship that was not willing to stick to the rules. With a flattering face but a look full of fools, the man boarded the ferry and was the only guest.

Jackals are around.

The man didn't know whether he was not experienced enough and didn't realize it, or he was a brave man and turned a blind eye on purpose.

When a ferry informed a guest that it needed to dock for supplies, the man finally left the cabin, changed into a white robe, carried a long sword on his back, a hairpin on his head, and a wine flask on his waist.

He went directly to the ship owner who was in the sea-viewing realm, slapped the vermilion wine bottle in the eyes of an ordinary monk, took out the sword gourd with a flying sword, and said: "It's easy to make money from gods, but it will be gone if you lose your life." .”

The old monk, the ship owner, who had long been interested in murdering people and selling goods, also came from a wild background. Since the guests saw through it, he didn't bother to hide anything. He glanced at the wine gourd and said with a smile: "The guests probably don't know the market of our industry. One Raising a sword gourd is more valuable than my life and this boat, what do you think..."

Before the old monk could finish his words, the flying sword flashed away.

After all, the old monk was a wild cultivator in the mountains who had climbed to the sea-viewing realm. He was no stranger to the sword cultivator, one of the four most difficult ghosts on the mountain. He happened to have a spiritual weapon at the bottom of the box that could provide a slight balance.

It was just that the old monk managed to avoid the flying sword by relying on his natal weapon, and another flying sword from the sword gourd was nailed between his eyebrows.

It won't kill you, but if you make a slight movement and the tip of the sword penetrates a little further, your life will be gone.

When the old monk in Guanhai Realm was shocked that a sword cultivator actually had two natal flying swords.

The punch has arrived.

The old monk was beaten until all the spiritual energy in his Qi Palace evaporated like boiling water.

Another punch.

The old monk was able to use his spiritual energy to feed back and temper his body. His body was as tough as a martial artist in the fourth realm, but he was still punched so hard that he vomited bile and fell to the ground.

The two flying swords even drove into the old monk's two natal auras, shattering them into pieces, causing the captain of the sea-viewing realm to fall back to the cave abode on the spot, wailing endlessly.

The man looked around, picked a chair, sat down, and said to the others: "Keep on going."

The old monk then sat in a small corner of the relatively spacious room, with two flying swords slowly spinning around.

And that guest actually kept sitting there reading books.

The old monk plucked up the courage and asked if he could heal his wounds on the spot, lest he could not even save the cave realm.

The man nodded without any objection.

After that, the man read a book, occasionally took a nap, occasionally stood up, walked slowly, and punched slowly.

After the ferry arrived at the largest vassal state on the border of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, the man gave the remaining half of the fairy money before getting off the boat.

After asking the old monk with a sluggish expression about the general direction of Shujian Lake, the man took off his long sword from behind and threw the sword and sheath into the air.

Yu Jian went far to Shujian Lake.
