Sword of Coming

Ding Tong held onto the railing with both hands. He had no idea why he was sitting here and asked blankly, "Am I going to die?"

The scholar in white took out his folding fan, stretched out his arms, and patted the railings.

Ding Tong turned around and looked at the observation deck on the second floor of the ferry. There were Wei Bai from Tieyou Mansion, Fairy Qingqing from Chunlu Garden, and the ugly and intimidating old nuns. Those who usually didn't mind that he was a martial artist and were willing to go with him. The Immortal Master who drank too much and everyone was indifferent.

On the first floor, some people were watching the excitement, and some people secretly smiled at him, one person in particular even gave him a thumbs up.

Ding Tong turned his head, despairing, then numb, looking down at the sea of ​​clouds at his feet.

The scholar in white raised his hand, and a golden sword light flashed out of the window, then rose into the sky.

He smiled and said: "Do you know why I never took action against you even though you were a waste and the culprit? Why did I kill that old man with a golden body, even though he could stay out of it?"

Ding Tong shook his head and said hoarsely: "I don't quite understand."

After the scholar in white took out his sword and controlled it, there was no movement. He raised his head and looked into the distance, "A seventh-level martial artist can do evil things casually, and you, a fifth-level martial artist, can do evil with all his strength. For this aspect, There is a world of difference in the influence of heaven and earth. The smaller your territory, in the eyes of the weak, the more you look like God who holds the power of life and death. What's more, that paper-made golden body has promised no grievances, no killing, and the first punch I have already killed the foreigner in his mind, but I can accept this, so I sincerely let him punch the second and third punch, and he started to seek death on his own. As for you, you have to thank the man who called me Sword Immortal Young man, I stopped you from jumping out of the observation deck and came down to ask me for boxing skills. Otherwise, the person who died would not have been the old man who helped you ward off the disaster, but you. Looking at the facts, your crime is not worthy of death, not to mention that Gao Cheng is still here It's a little suspenseful and deliberately disgusting. It doesn't matter, I just think that you are like me back then, someone else used Taoism in your heart, so your temperament was pulled, and you did something that was 'seeking death'."

"Principles are not something that the weak can only use to complain and cry out for grievances. They are not words that must be spoken by kneeling down and kowtowing."

Ding Tong's mind went blank and he didn't hear much at all. He was just thinking whether he should wait for the sword to fall and then die, or he should be more heroic, jump off the ferry, and travel to the Eight Realms with the wind. Takefu.

The scholar in white also stopped talking.

You people are the warriors on horseback who go to the mountains to die one after another. By the way, you will kill a few pedestrians who are just an eyesore to you. On the road of life, there are unknown wilderness areas everywhere, and you are committing murderous acts. A great place for evil.

In the countryside, in the market, in the rivers and lakes, in official circles, and in the mountains.

There are countless such people.

This is true for parents, this is true for themselves, and so is true for future generations.

I can't even stop it.

Why was the little girl sad and disappointed when she was at Jinduo Temple in Huaihuang Kingdom?

Because Chen Pingan, the scholar in white who deliberately did this at that time, if he puts aside his true identity and cultivation level, and only talks about his words and deeds on that road, he is exactly the same as those who go up the mountain to die.

What hurt her the most was not the pedantry of the frail scholar, but the sentence "If I am knocked unconscious and an outsider robs the book box, will you pay for it?" This kind of words and mentality are what makes the little girl sad the most. I gave kindness to the world and others, but that person not only didn't appreciate it, but also gave her some ill will. But the good thing about the little girl from Jinduo Temple is that even though she is so sad, she still sincerely cares about the safety of that stupid and bad person. What Chen Pingan can do now is to tell himself that "doing good and doing evil is family business", so Chen Pingan feels that she is much better than him and should be called a good person.

The scholar in white was silent, not only waiting for the group of Pima Sect monks to leave and return, but also listening to his own voice.

Gao Cheng's method of asking questions is not too clever.

Yangmou is a bit impressive.

The scholar in white put a folding fan against his heart and said to himself: "What does being caught off guard this time have to do with the Pima Sect? Even I know that it is not in my nature to anger the Pima Sect like this. How can I allow some ants to use it?" You can see through the tricks. Gao Cheng is just a little bit beyond your control, so you can't bear this frustration? For a cultivator like you, I don't think your cultivation will be any better. I'll treat you like a obedient person. A swordsman, let alone a swordsman."

Zhu Quan told him with the ripples in the heart lake that Yu Jian met in the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, and once again the magical power to separate the world, the ordinary people on the ferry would really waste their energy. He got off the ferry and headed straight to the south for ten miles to Yu Jian.

Chen Pingan stood up and took a step forward. A golden sword light fell from the sky and hovered just under his feet. The man and the sword disappeared in an instant.

In the sea of ​​clouds, in addition to Zhu Quan and the two ancestors of the Pi Ma Sect, there was also a strange old Taoist. He was wearing a Taoist robe that he had never seen before. He was obviously not among the three lineages, and he was not a Taoist from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. . While Chen Ping'an's sword was hovering, a middle-aged Taoist broke through the sea of ​​clouds and strode from a distance. The mountains and rivers were shrinking, and the road to the clouds and seas for several miles was only two steps.

The middle-aged Taoist said solemnly: "The formation has been completed. As long as Gao Cheng dares to spy on us with his magical power of seeing mountains and rivers, he will suffer a little."

Zhu Quan looked a little embarrassed, but still said: "It's my fault that I couldn't find any clues left by Gao Cheng on that warrior."

The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, and when he saw the Patriarch of the Patriarch Hall of the Pima Sect beside him shaking his head, the old Taoist did not speak.

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I lost to Gao Cheng and was tricked by him once. I can't blame others."

Zhu Quan still held the little girl in black in his arms, but the little girl had fallen asleep soundly now.

Zhu Quan still made no secret of it, and said straightforwardly: "After we left before, we had actually been paying attention to the movement on the other side of the ferry, just to be afraid of what might happen. In the end, you and Gao Cheng will be afraid of whatever happens. We all heard the conversation. When Gao Cheng dispersed his remaining soul, the little girl took a breath, and then a wisp of green smoke floated out of her mouth, just like the martial artist. It should be the Guiling Cream Fortunately, this time, I can assure you that besides staying in Jingguan City, Gao Cheng may have control over our mountains and rivers. For the rest, I, Zhu Quan, can assure you, at least on the little girl. , there is no backup plan.”

The middle-aged Taoist's tone was indifferent, but it made people feel more sarcastic, "For one person, you will risk the entire Skeleton Beach and even the entire south of Juluzhou. If you, Chen Pingan, weigh the pros and cons, think about it for a long time, and then do it." Well, Pindao stayed out of the matter, so it’s hard to say anything, but it’s better for you not to hesitate.”

Chen Pingan's words made the middle-aged Taoist almost feel upset, "You are not very profound in Taoism."

The middle-aged Taoist sneered and said, "Since you value love and righteousness so much, you are willing to hand over a treasure if you pick up a little water monster on the road. If I were a wicked person, it would be a great blessing for me to meet you."

The Taoist saw the scholar in white wearing two robes, taking out a folding fan and patting his head gently, "Are you in a higher realm than Du Mao?"

The middle-aged Taoist sneered and said: "Although I don't know the specific truth, what level are you in now? You must have been even more unbearable back then. Facing an ascended person, you Chen Ping'an was able to escape, not because of that secret power." Backer? No wonder you dare to threaten Gao Cheng, threatening to go to the Ghost Valley to give Jingguan City an accident. Do you need Pindao to help you send a message across the continent with your flying sword? "

The scholar in white said with a smile: "Do you know that my backer doesn't even bother to look at you? Are you angry?"

The middle-aged Taoist's face was gloomy, and then he smiled casually, "I'm not angry, I just don't like you. You are a half-hearted swordsman who will be regarded as a member of the same Taoist class by Gao Cheng. You have a powerful backing, and you are so profound at such a young age. City Palace, Gao Cheng has a good eye for judging people. You are not bad either. You can chat and laugh happily with Gao Cheng, the co-owner of the Ghost Valley Heroic Spirit. If word spreads, someone will give Gao Cheng a bottle of wine, and Gao Cheng will finish it. Now, your reputation in Luzhou, Beiju, Chen Pingan, will spread to all the sects on the mountain overnight."

The scholar in white said oh and slapped his palms with a folding fan, "You can shut up. I just want to be polite to you for the sake of Master Zhu. Now your quota of talking to me has been used up."

The middle-aged Taoist smiled and said: "Show each other? Don't you think you are good at fighting?"

The scholar in white said: "Then for the sake of your master's cup of thousand-year-old peach pulp tea, I will tell you one more thing."

The middle-aged Taoist waited for a while.

As a result, the man remained silent and just looked at her with pity.

The Taoist suddenly realized that the so-called saying one more thing was really just that.

Zhu Quan was a little worried.

She was really afraid that if the two of them continued to talk like this, they would roll up their sleeves and fight. When the time comes, it won't be good for her to help anyone, and it's not her temperament not to help both. Or openly break up the fight, and then give each of them a few blows? She, Zhu Quan, was good at fighting, but not very good at breaking up fights. It was reasonable to have some accidental injuries.

The old Taoist said softly: "It doesn't matter, it will be a good thing for Chen Pingan and my disciple."

Zhu Quan sighed and said: "Chen Ping'an, since you have already guessed it, I won't introduce it further. These two Taoist masters are both Xiaoxuan Duguan from Guixi Valley. They were invited by us to come out this time. You also know that our Pima Sect is pretty good at fighting and killing, but to deal with Gao Cheng's evil methods, we still need Taoist masters like Guanzhu to keep an eye on us."

Chen Pingan nodded and said nothing.

According to what Jiang Shangzhen said, this old Taoist from Xiaoxuan Duguan should be Yang Ningxing's short-term Taoist protector.

That night, at the cliffside of the Tiesuo Bridge, the person who was expected to be the Heavenly King kept watch all night, fearing that he would directly beat Yang Ningxing to death.

As for the cup of thousand-year-old peach pulp tea delivered by a golden-armored god, was it the whim of a Taoist true monarch, or was it a hospitality similar to Gao Cheng's? Chen Pingan knew very little about Xiaoxuandu Temple. , there are too few threads, and it is still impossible to guess the other party's true intention.

Chen Ping'an glanced at the little girl in Zhu Quan's arms and said to Zhu Quan: "Maybe I have to trouble Master Zhu a little more. It's not that I can't trust the Pima Sect and Guanzhu, but I can't trust Gao Cheng, so I'd like to trouble the Pima Sect. After sending the little girl to Longquan County by cross-continental ferry, I told Wei Bo of Piyun Mountain and asked him to help me find a person named Cui Dongshan, and told him that I would ask Cui Dongshan to return to Luolu Mountain immediately and investigate the little girl carefully. spirit."

Pima Sect monk, Chen Pingan believed that, but in front of him, the master of Xiaoxuandu Temple who taught such a disciple Xu Song, coupled with the Yuanying disciple in front of him who had a bad temper and a bad mind, he really Don't quite believe it.

The middle-aged Taoist frowned.

I heard that Wei Bo of Piyun Mountain, as the righteous god of the Northern Mountains of Da Li, is expected to be promoted to the Jade Pu Realm immediately. Nowadays, there are some auspicious phenomena vaguely appearing in the territory of Dali Beiyue.

Zhu Quan is straight-tempered, "Can this Cui Dongshan do it?"

Chen Pingan said slowly: "If he can't do it, no one can."

The old Taoist master of the temple smiled and said: "You really need to be more prudent in your actions. I can only say that after trying my best, I couldn't find any clues in this little girl. If it is really a mistake, the consequences will be serious. One more person to investigate, It’s a good thing.”

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "There are a lot of temple masters."

The old Taoist laughed it off.

When Zhu Quan saw that the conversation was almost over, he suddenly said: "Master, you guys go first, I'll stay and talk to Chen Ping'an about some personal matters."

The middle-aged Taoist put away the Sea of ​​Clouds Formation.

Not to mention anything else, this Taoist method allowed Chen Pingan to see the mystery and ruthlessness of the magic on the mountain.

It turns out that if a person uses his palm to view mountains and rivers, he may get angry.

Xiaoxuan watched the two masters and apprentices. The two ancestors of the Pi Ma Sect were the first to go south against the wind.

Zhu Quan got straight to the point and said: "The great disciple of the Guanzhu has always liked to say weird things. I've been annoying him for a day or two, but it's hard to do anything to him. However, this person is very good at fighting, and Xiao Xuan is impressed by it." It is said that he learned 70% to 80% of the skills at the bottom of the box. You don’t need to pay attention to him now. When your level reaches a higher level, just beat him to death."

Chen Pingan put away the folding fan and came to Zhuquan with his sword. He stretched out his hand. Zhuquan handed the little girl to the young swordsman and teased: "You are a grown man, but you can also hold a child? Why, you can learn from Jiang Shangzhen." Yes, do you want to use this kind of eccentric tactics to deceive women in the rivers and lakes and mountains in the future?"

Chen Pingan sat down cross-legged and held the little girl in his arms. He snored slightly. Chen Pingan smiled, with a smile on his face and a hint of sadness in his eyes. "When I was young, I held my child every day. Amuse the kids and take care of the kids.”

Zhu Quan glanced at the young man, and it seemed that it must be true.

Zhu Quan was sitting on the sea of ​​clouds, seemingly hesitant to speak. This was unprecedented.

Chen Ping'an did not raise his head, but he seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said slowly: "I have always felt that Master Zhu is the smartest person in Skeleton Beach, but he is just too lazy to think and do it."

Zhu Quan nodded and said, "Then I understand. I believe you."

Then Zhu Quan said with a smile: "But the true and false words you and Gao Cheng made, even I, who are familiar with you, have to be suspicious, let alone the old temple master who is not familiar with you, and that cultivator." The great disciple who is incapable of cultivating his mind.”

Chen Pingan said: "The first words are all true. I have prepared for the worst. The little girl died on the ferry. I can't protect her. I can only take revenge. It's that simple. As for the latter, it's not worth it. As soon as they tested each other, both sides were trying to see more of each other's thoughts. Gao Cheng was also worried. He watched me all the way and the results were all intentionally shown to him. He was afraid that if he lost twice, he would lose again. I no longer have the energy to compete for that little Fengdu. In the final analysis, it’s just a little mental tug-of-war.”

Chen Pingan freed up a hand and gently tapped the sword gourd on his waist. The flying sword slowly flew out and hovered on Chen Pingan's shoulder. It was rare to be so docile and well-behaved. Chen Pingan said calmly: "Gao Cheng has something to say. Of course it is true. For example, I feel that he and I are really in the same boat. I probably think that by gambling again and again, we can straighten our almost crushed and broken spine little by little, and then move higher and higher. Just as you respect Gao Cheng, there is no doubt that you can kill him. Even if it is just the loss of Gao Cheng's soul, Sect Master Zhu feels that he owes me, Chen Ping'an, a huge favor. I will not let him die because of it. A great enemy cannot see all his powers.”

Zhu Quan hummed, "That's right. Look at things separately, and then do whatever you want. There are many sect secrets that I can't tell you to outsiders. Anyway, Gao Cheng, this ghost, is not simple. Just like me The day Zhuquan completely kills Gao Cheng and beats Jingguan City to a pulp, I will definitely bring out a jug of good wine to pay homage to Gao Cheng, the foot soldier back then, and to the current lord of Jingguan City, and finally I respect him and Gao Cheng for sharpening our Taoist heart for our Pi Ma Sect."

Chen Ping'an said: "I don't know why, in this world, there are always people who feel that it is a good thing to grin at all evil people, and there are so many people who like to discuss things when they should ask their minds, and when they should discuss things Ask your heart again."

Zhu Quan thought for a while, then slapped Chen Ping'an heavily on the shoulder, "Bring me some wine. I need two jugs, so I can beat him. After drinking, I'm going to tell you some wonderful words from the bottom of my heart!" "

Chen Ping'an took out two bottles of wine and gave them to Zhu Quan, and reminded in a low voice: "When you drink, remember to dispel the smell of alcohol, otherwise she may wake up, and when she sees me, she will have to persuade her to let her go." She went to the Skeleton Beach. This little girl has been craving for my drink for more than a day or two. It doesn't hurt that Sect Leader Zhu told her directly about Guiling Gao. The little girl is actually very courageous and can't hide anything. Evil thoughts.”

Zhu Quan drank a pot of wine in one gulp, leaving no trace of wine left in the pot.

It's just that she drank with her head raised, her posture was bold and not at all elegant, and at least 20% of the wine must have been poured.

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Sect Master Zhu, do you really need to change your drinking habit? Do you have to respect heaven and earth every time you drink?"

Zhu Quan laughed angrily and said, "I've already given you wine, do you care?"

Chen Ping'an looked into the distance and said with a smile: "It would be great if we could be friends with Sect Master Zhu, but if we do business together, we would cry to death."

Zhu Quan regained his expression and became a little serious, "The real strength of a monk is not to live happily with the world, even if he can stand out from the crowd. It is how much he has changed the world besides attaining immortality... He can even say that he is ruthless on the mountain. Words, no matter whether the results are good or bad, have nothing to do with the good or evil of people's hearts. As long as they have changed a lot of the world, he is a strong man. We must recognize this!"

Chen Pingan nodded, "After recognizing that they are strong, you dare to punch them, you are truly strong."

Zhu Quan nodded and opened the mud seal. After drinking this time, he started to be diligent and thrifty. It was just a small sip of wine. It was not that she really changed her temper, but that she had always been like this.

When there is a lot of wine, drink heavily; when there is little wine, drink slowly.

Chen Pingan turned to look at Zhu Quan with a smile and said: "Actually, one of my students and disciples once said something similar to the meaning of Master Zhu. He said that the true strength of a country is not the ability to cover up mistakes, but the ability to correct mistakes. Ability."

Zhu Quan smiled and said: "I don't care about things at the bottom of the mountain. One Gao Cheng is enough to deal with a ghost valley in this life, which is enough for me to drink a pot. But in the future of Pima Sect, Du Wensi and Pang Lanxi will definitely do better than me. Better. You can wait and see."

Zhu Quan breathed out a heavy breath and asked: "There are some things that will be embarrassing to say, so I'd better ask them, otherwise I won't be happy if I hold them in my heart. Rather than making myself unhappy, it's better to make your kid feel unhappy too." Otherwise, it’s useless no matter how much I drink. You said you could give Jingguan City an accident. You said it at the beginning. It’s true. Naturally, I can’t guess what you will do, and I don’t care. Anyway, you Don't say anything else, the boy is still prudent in doing things. He is cruel to others, but the most cruel to himself. In this way, you really can't blame that Taoist Xiaoxuan Duguan. You are worried that you will become the second Gao Cheng. Or form an alliance with Gao Cheng.”

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I can understand this seemingly human thought, but I don't accept it."

Zhu Quan asked bluntly: "Then Gao Cheng threatened you to take out this flying sword on your shoulder because of the Guiling Gao thing. Were you really deceived by him?"

Chen Ping'an nodded without hesitation: "Yes. So in the future, I will think more about a Jade Purity monk's magical powers besides killing."

Zhu Quan asked: "Then between the first year of junior high school and the little girl, you made the decision in that moment to abandon the first year of junior high school and save the little girl?"

Chen Pingan still nodded, "Otherwise? The little girl is dead, where can I find her? In the first year of junior high school, even if Gao Cheng didn't lie to me and really had the ability to take away the flying sword on the spot and throw it directly to Jingguan City, so what? ?”

Chen Ping'an narrowed his eyes and smiled strangely, "You know, how much I hoped Gao Cheng would take away the flying sword so that I could do something that I have never done in all these years of life and death, something that I have never done even once. , but it is something that everyone on the mountain and down the mountain likes very much and thinks it is a natural thing!"

Chen Pingan put his hand between his eyebrows. After relaxing his brows, he gently handed the little girl in his arms to Zhu Quan, stood up slowly, flicked his wrist, and quickly rolled up his sleeves.

Chen Ping'an stood above the Sword Immortal, standing in the foggy sea of ​​clouds.

Chen Pingan's eyes were hot, "Gao Cheng can be said to have used all his methods. If he really takes the Flying Sword in the first year of junior high school, I, Chen Pingan, will have no choice. This will be a very interesting thing. Guess, Master Zhu Look, what would I do?”

Zhu Quan hugged the little girl, stood up, and said with a smile, "I can't guess."

I saw the scholar in white eloquently saying, "I will first let a man named Li Er, who is a ten-level martial artist, return me a favor and rush to the Bone Beach. I will ask my Nascent Soul who is temporarily I am a student and disciple who came across the continent to Skeleton Beach to relieve my husband's worries. I will go to ask for help. This is the first time I, Chen Pingan, have asked for help in so many years! I will ask that old man who is also at the top of the ten realms of martial arts to come out of the mountain and leave the Bamboo Tower. , punch once for Chen Pingan, who is half a disciple. Since I have asked for help, there is no need to hold back anymore. I will finally beg a sword cultivator named Zuo Zuo. If the junior brother is in trouble, I beg the senior brother to use the sword! When the time comes, Just beat him to pieces!"

Zhu Quan, the majestic leader of the Pi Ma Sect and the one who dared to stab Gao Cheng without stopping, actually felt a hint of... fear.

That young man had a pure aura that had nothing to do with good or evil.

The man raised a hand high and stamped his foot, causing the half-immortal sword to fall straight down. He said calmly: "If Gao Cheng is not dead, what will happen if another person or two escapes?" It doesn’t matter if I have a backer for the Ascension Realm. I don’t need to ask for help, I don’t ask for help from anyone.”

Zhu Quan saw the man laughing loudly, and finally spoke softly, as if whispering to others, "I have a sword, come with me."

The sword immortal that the semi-immortal soldiers originally wanted to snatch back actually did not dare to get close at all, and hovered far away at the edge of the sea of ​​clouds.

But in the end, Zhu Quan saw the man, lowered his head, looked at the rolled-up sleeves, and shed tears silently. Then he slowly raised his left hand, grabbed a sleeve tightly, and choked up: "Mr. Qi died because of me." Death, the last person in the world who should disappoint him, isn't I, Chen Ping'an? How can I do this? Anyone can do this, but Chen Ping'an in Mud Bottle Lane can't do it."
