Sword of Coming

Chen Pingan walked out of Jingzhe Mansion, holding an emerald green hiking stick that complemented the bamboo forest, and walked alone to the head of the bamboo forest.

After hesitating for a moment, she took out the talisman boat and headed to Yuying Cliff in the wind. In fact, during the Chunlu Garden, she temporarily borrowed the talisman boat. The maid of the mansion laughed and said that all the gods' money expenses were spent on the talisman boat traveling between the mansion and Laohuai Street. Jingzhe's house had a bag of fairy money ready, but Chen Ping'an never opened it. It's one thing to follow the local customs and follow the rules. You also have your own rules. As long as the two don't conflict with each other and you stay leisurely, then the cage of rules becomes a talisman that can help people navigate the great mountains and rivers.

When Chen Ping'an drove the talisman boat made by Taizhen Palace, a lineage of Taoist talismans, to Yuying Cliff, he saw that Liu Zhiqing had taken off his boots, rolled up his sleeves and trousers, and was standing in the stream below the Qingtan, bending down to pick up pebbles. , when he saw one that pleased his eyes, he threw it accurately into the clear pool on the edge of the cliff without raising his head. After Chen Pingan landed and took the treasure boat into a talisman and put it into his sleeve, Liu Zhiqing still didn't raise his head and walked barefoot all the way downstream, saying in a bad tone: "Shut up, I don't want to listen to you."

Most likely, the uncle of the young master of the Golden Crow Palace did not believe that the money fan would put hundreds of pebbles back into the clear pool. As for the bigger reason, it was that Liu Zhiqing was a little demanding about the things he remembered and wanted to be perfect. He should have already done it. Yu Jian returned to the Golden Crow Palace, but halfway there, he always felt that the Qingtan was empty, and he became upset. He simply returned to Yuying Cliff and said goodbye to the man named Chen at the shop on Laohuai Street, but he couldn't force the money man. Quickly putting the pebbles back, Liu Zhiqing had to do it himself, picking up as many pebbles as he could.

Chen Ping'an also took off his boots and walked into the stream. He just picked up a cute pebble and wanted to help throw it into the clear pool.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhiqing said: "That one won't work, the color is too bright."

Chen Ping'an still threw it towards the clear pool at the foot of the cliff, but Liu Zhiqing swung it away with his sleeve and knocked the pebble into the stream. Liu Zhiqing said angrily: "The surname is Chen!"

"Okay, okay, good intentions should be treated as donkey's liver and lungs. From now on, we will each do our own thing."

Chen Pingan stretched out his hand and grabbed the pebble, took it back into his hand, rubbed his hands together, wiped off the water stains, took a breath, put it into the things close by with a smile, "They are all real gold and silver. Press your hands, really press your hands."

The source of spring water in the clear pool under Yuying Cliff is the intersection of mountain roots and water veins. It is uniquely blessed with abundant spiritual energy. The stones at the bottom of the clear pool are of the best quality. They have been soaked by the spiritual energy and clear springs for thousands of years. The stones in the stream are slightly different. It's inferior, but it can be used to carve seals or handles similar to mutton-fat jade. It can be slightly modified and rubbed casually. It is still a first-class gift for high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Having this thing in the study will "beat it." "It is very eye-catching. It may not be able to prolong life, but it is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.

Liu Zhiqing picked and picked very carefully, throwing dozens of stream stones into the clear pool.

It feels like more care is taken when choosing a wife or a Taoist companion.

Chen Pingan followed Liu Zhiqing and picked up the ones he picked up. Most of them were picked up by Liu Zhiqing, looked at them for a while and then put them down, so another forty or fifty pebbles came into his account. Chen Pingan had already thought of a store on Laohuai Street that specializes in selling office supplies. For a time-honored shop, the shopkeeper can't afford to hire an old master, and the shopkeeper may not like these pebbles. Chen Ping'an only needs to find one or two shop assistants to apprentice. Even if they are only half the skills of the old shopkeeper, they will be more than enough to deal with these pebbles. , let them help carve it, whether it is a seal or a handle or a small inkstone. When the time comes, put it in your own shop and say that it is produced in the old pit of Yuyingya, and then casually tell people about the story of the Golden Crow Palace, the Liujianxian, who can see the stone and realize the sword. Story, prices have gone up.

As for the pebbles fished out from the bottom of the Qingtan, you still have to put them all back honestly. If you want to do business for a long time, shrewdness always comes after integrity. After all, having a shop in Chunlu Garden is no longer considered a real baggage house. As for why the Chunlu Pu Patriarch Hall gave a shop to the family, it is very simple. The evil-looking old woman in the Ferry Tieyou Mansion has already revealed the secret. In the small book "Chun Lu Pu Winter Is", it is indeed necessary to write a few strokes of "Chen Jianxian" ", but when Song Lanqiao mentioned this matter, he made it clear that the author of Chunlu Pu, before Chen Ping'an left Chunlu Pu, would publish the content about him in a new edition of "Chun Lu Dong Zai" and hand it over first. Let him read it first and see what can and cannot be written. In fact, Chunlu Pu has long been confident. He has been doing business in the mountains for so many years and is very clear about the Taboos of the Immortal Family.

Chen Ping'an enjoyed these business tips for making money and did not feel bored at all. He chatted with Song Lanqiao very enthusiastically at that time. After all, Luo Luoshan can also use them to learn and apply them in the future.

Liu Zhiqing went ashore and walked towards Yuying Cliff. Seeing that the guy had no intention of coming ashore, it seemed that he planned to search the stream again to avoid missing anything.

Liu Zhiqing smiled angrily and said, "Good brother, are you obsessed with money?"

Chen Ping'an bent down and picked up a pebble with a texture as fine as ink jade, turned it over gently to see if there were any pleasing natural lines, and said with a smile: "I was afraid of poverty when I was young, so what can I do?"

The reason why Liu Zhiqing left Chunlu Garden without a sword was because he wanted to watch the guy return hundreds of Qingtan stones to their original places, so that he could feel relieved.

But Liu Zhiqing now doubted whether this guy would put it away immediately after he left. He always felt that the man named Chen could really do such a crazy thing.

Chen Ping'an put the stone that looked like black jade close at hand, his eyes wandering. It was much easier to pick up money on the ground than to put it into his own purse than to earn money from other people's pockets. Chen Ping'an was afraid of being struck by lightning if he didn't even bend down and stretch out his hands.

Because of Chen Pingan, Liu Zhiqing spent half an hour walking back to Yuying Cliff.

When the two of them arrived at the thatched pavilion, Chen Pingan stood still while Liu Zhiqing just stared at him.

Chen Ping'an slapped his head, shouted "Look at my memory", waved his sleeves, and hundreds of pebbles fell like rain into the clear pool. Liu Zhiqing concentrated on staring at the pebbles. The approximate number was about the same, but the key was that all the dozen of his favorite pebbles were the same. Not missing any pills, Liu Zhiqing's complexion improved. If one is missing, he feels that he will not come here to drink tea in the future. Whether he is a money-lover or not is a family matter for the surnamed Chen. It is his ability to make money from himself, but if he does not keep his word, then Two very different things. If Yuying Cliff falls into the hands of such a person, Liu Zhiqing will regard Yuying Cliff as ruined and will not have any nostalgia for it.

Chen Pingan patted his sleeves and said: "Have you ever thought that picking up stones from the stream is also a way to cultivate your mind? I have a rough idea of ​​your temper. You like to pursue perfection. With this state of mind and temperament, sword refining may be a good thing. , but on the journey of cultivating your mind, if you cleanse your sword with the heart of the Golden Crow Palace, you will probably be very upset, so I actually regret now that I told you those things."

Liu Zhiqing shook his head and said: "The more troublesome it is, the more it means that once the sword cleaning is successful, the harvest will be greater than I imagined."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I just found an excuse to remind you."

Liu Zhiqing hesitated for a moment, sat down, and began to draw the talisman with his fingers, but this time he moved slowly and did not deliberately conceal the ripples of his spiritual energy. Soon there were two more bright red fire dragons circling, raised up and asked: "Have you learned it?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I have memorized the technique, and I can roughly see the movement of the spiritual energy clearly, but I can't do it now."

Liu Zhiqing frowned and said, "If you were willing to spend half of your thoughts on business on cultivation, what would be such a bleak situation?"

Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Zhiqing, don't sit here and talk without hurting your back. I am a person who has broken the Bridge of Immortality. To be able to be in today's situation is not bleak."

Chen Ping'an knew Liu Zhiqing's character from the three previous discussions.

The earliest appointment was made with Liu Zhiqing, a bottleneck swordsman in the Golden Core Realm, but he only contributed five points. He just punches.

Chen Ping'an drew a circle with a radius of ten feet, and then used his cultivation level in old Longcheng to deal with Liu Zhiqing's flying sword.

Liu Zhiqing used the flying sword for the first time. Because he underestimated Chen Ping'an's physical toughness and was not used to the opponent's method of exchanging injuries for injuries and knocking him down with one punch without delivering two punches, the sword was originally named Since it was agreed that the flying sword of "Waterfall" would only determine victory or defeat, not life and death, Liu Zhiqing's flying sword appeared for the first time. Although it was as fast as a waterfall from the sky pouring down into the world, it still only pierced his heart. He moved up an inch, but the man allowed the flying sword to pierce his shoulder, and he was in front of Liu Zhiqing in an instant. The extremely fast flying sword spun back again and stabbed the man's ankle. Liu Zhiqing had just moved a few feet away. , was followed by that person like a shadow, and punched him out of the circle. Fortunately, the opponent also deliberately kept his strength after punching and before hitting, but Liu Zhiqing still fell to the ground and slid several feet away, covered in dust.

Liu Zhiqing was just a little embarrassed. After he stood up, he looked at the guy whose shoulders and ankles were indeed penetrated by the flying sword and asked, "Doesn't it hurt?"

The most difficult thing about sword cultivators and flying swords is that, in addition to their speed, once they penetrate the opponent's body and Qi, they are extremely difficult to heal quickly, and they will have a terrifying effect similar to the "conflict of the great road", unlike other attacks in the world. Magic weapons can also cause long-lasting damage and even endless troubles, but they are not as difficult to deal with as sword energy. It is quick but fierce, like a flood bursting its embankments in an instant, like a dragon crossing the river breaking into the small world of the human body, turning the river upside down and greatly affecting the Qi. The circulation of spiritual energy in the mansion, while monks are fighting for their lives, often a disorder of the spiritual energy will be fatal. Moreover, the physical training of ordinary Qi practitioners is not as good as that of military monks and pure martial artists. A sudden pain will inevitably affect the state of mind.

One sword is like this, but what if you practice several swords with many swords?

At that time, the man laughed and said: "It doesn't hinder punching."

After the second sparring session, Liu Zhiqing began to be careful about the distance between the two sides.

You know, sword cultivators, especially Earth Immortal Sword Cultivators, are very good at long range and close combat.

Chen Ping'an began to use his cultivation level when he first arrived at the Skeleton Beach to fight against the enemy, in order to avoid the elusive Liu Zhiqing's natal flying sword.

After that scene, the two of them sat cross-legged outside the circle. Chen Ping'an had numerous small wounds all over his body, and Liu Zhiqing was also covered in dust.

At that time, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but ask: "I once learned how to fly a sword from an old Jindan swordsman. Why did you do it so fast when you only exerted 70% of your strength?"

Liu Zhiqing was in a bad mood at the time, "It's just seven points, believe it or not."

On the third day, Liu Zhiqing looked at the guy who seemed to have nothing wrong with him, "Aren't you just pretending? Today the sword is out at nine points. Although you and I have agreed that there will be no distinction between life and death, but..."

Before Liu Zhiqing could finish speaking, the man smiled and said, "Just draw the sword."

Chen Ping'an used his cultivation after withstanding the Yunhai catastrophe, but he just didn't use some of the most powerful punches to face the enemy again.

In the end, Liu Zhiqing stood outside the circle and had to rub his red and swollen cheeks with his hands, slowly dispersing the congestion with his spiritual energy.

Chen Ping'an stood on the line of the circle with a bright smile. There were just a few bloody holes on his body. It was not a fatal injury anyway, it only needed a period of recovery.

Liu Zhiqing had to ask the same question again, "Doesn't it really hurt?"

Chen Ping'an blinked at that time, "What do you think?"

After three sparring sessions.

They are friends.

Chen Ping'an and Liu Zhiqing knew it, but neither of them wanted to talk about it.

Otherwise, Liu Zhiqing would be so aloof, why would he be willing to support Chen Ping'an's Laohuai Street Flingfly Shop, and then walk down the street dragging a skeleton with his head and temper?

At this moment, the scene of the gleaming water under the Yuying Cliff reappeared. It was lost and found, which was particularly touching. Liu Zhiqing was in a good mood.

As for Chen Pingan's Changsheng Bridge being interrupted.

Although Liu Zhiqing was shocked and didn't know how the Changsheng Bridge was rebuilt, he didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Zhiqing dispersed the slender fire dragon formed by the two characters on the table, and asked: "How is the injury?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "It's okay. I can make money while recuperating on Laohuai Street."

Liu Zhiqing asked again: "You said earlier that the boxing manual that is the foundation of your boxing technique comes from the southeastern area of ​​Luzhou in our Beiju. The clues are related to the fact that the earthworm moved rocks into the water. Is there any harvest?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head, "In order to save money and save effort, I told the phone shop that there would be no discounts. As a result, I missed many opportunities to talk, which is a pity."

Liu Zhiqing nodded, "You deserve it."

Chen Pingan smiled helplessly.

In addition to the origin of the Mountain-Shaking Boxing Manual, there is actually one more thing.

It was the tragedy of the cross-continental ferry that destroyed Dajiao Mountain in the middle of Aquarius Continent. But Chen Pingan didn't need to ask, because he couldn't ask anything. This fairy family has been closed for many years. The stack of landscape newspapers bought by the little water monster on the ferry earlier contained a few news about Dajiu Mountain, most of which were indifferent and scattered rumors. Moreover, Chen Ping'an is a foreigner. If he suddenly asks about the inside story of Dajiu Mountain, someone may have some unforeseen accidents. Chen Ping'an is naturally cautious.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an has already planned to go to the middle of Beiju Luzhou, and walk along the great promenade that runs east to west across the continent.

What needs to be carefully avoided is naturally the Chongxuan Department Yunxiao Palace of the Dayuan Dynasty.

That Yang Ningxing, aside from the "scholar" who was the embodiment of evil thoughts like mustard seeds, was actually a very impressive Taoist.

However, the reputation of the Dayuan Dynasty Chongxuan Office in Luzhou, Beiju, was mixed, and its actions were extremely strong and domineering. This was a huge problem.

Therefore, during that long trip to Dadu, Chen Ping'an needed to be more careful to inspect the landscapes, temples, and the power of immortals in various countries.

No matter what, Lu Chen's calculations aside, since this is where his young boy in green will have the opportunity to become enlightened, Chen Ping'an, Cui Dongshan and Wei Bo have repeatedly deduced this matter, and they all believe that the matter is over and can be done. Therefore, Chen Ping'an will naturally do his best to handle this matter.

Chen Pingan remembered something, slapped the sword gourd, and flew out of the first fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Liu Zhiqing glanced at it and said angrily: "What a waste of natural resources."

In fact, he had already seen that the vermilion wine pot was a sword gourd, half based on the weather and half guessing.

As for the fact that these two flying swords, whose quality could not be seen, fell into the hands of Chen Ping'an, it is not unfair to this "good brother" at all.

Liu Zhiqing said slowly: "The speed of these two flying swords, if a sword cultivator has truly refined them, will be very fast. Unfortunately, you are not an innate sword embryo, and they are not your natural objects. I don't know what you call the golden elixir master." How lethal is the sword cultivator? Not to mention the weird talent of his flying sword, at least the speed of his flying sword is really slow. If you think that the sword cultivator in Luzhou, Beiju, I, Liu Zhiqing, is just an exception. Flying Sword If you are so slow, then you will definitely suffer a lot in the future. When the Earthly Immortal Sword Cultivator fights to the death, he will not only use his sword for ten points, but also after using some magical powers and spells that do not hesitate to waste his own energy, he will have twelve points. possible."

Chen Ping'an stretched out his palm, and two pocket flying swords, one snow white and one green, hovered gently in his palm, looking at the junior high school sword whose real name was Xiao Fengdu, "At the very beginning, I wanted to refine this sword as a weapon. The natal object outside the Five Elements was a lucky success. I dare not say that it is as good as the sword repair natal flying sword, but it is naturally stronger than the current situation. Because the person who gave it to me has no doubts, but this flying sword , not very happy, just willing to follow me and stay in the sword-raising gourd, I can't force it, let alone force it."

Chen Ping'an shifted his gaze and looked at Feijian Fifteen, "I like this one very much. It's not that I can't trust the people I do business with. Logically speaking, I can have no doubts about it, but I'm just afraid of what might happen. So I always feel sorry for it.”

Liu Zhiqing said in a deep voice: "The higher the rank of refining flying swords left by sword immortals, the greater the risk. I will only say one thing, do you have key acupoints suitable for their habitat, nourishment, and growth? This matter If you don’t succeed, everything will fail. It doesn’t matter how much money you earn from the gods or how many treasures you possess. There is a reason why sword cultivation is the most valuable in the world.”

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, "Yes, or three."

Liu Zhiqing suddenly said: "Chen, please teach me some curse words!"

Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "I am a person who is a bit heavy-handed with my fists, but I am the least able to hurt others and curse them."

Liu Zhiqing stood up and said, "No need to talk, let's go."

Chen Ping'an also stood up, suppressed his smile, and asked: "Liu Zhiqing, before you return to the Golden Crow Palace to wash your sword, I have one last thing to ask you."

Liu Zhiqing asked: "But it doesn't matter."

Chen Pingan said slowly: "Why do you want a Golden Crow Palace? Everything will suit your wishes?"

Liu Zhiqing remained silent.

Chen Ping'an said: "Before washing the sword, it's better to think clearly first."

Liu Zhiqing smiled and said, "It's simple. As long as I clean the sword successfully, the Golden Crow Palace will have one more Nascent Soul sword cultivator. He who suffered from my sword cleaning in the past will be blessed with the protection of the Nascent Soul in the coming year."

Chen Ping'an curled his lips and said, "Sword cultivator is so refreshing."

Liu Zhiqing smiled and said, "How about I imitate you and bask in the sun at the door of the shop or touch stones in the stream?"

Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "Go away, go away, I'm annoyed just by looking at you, and it's even more annoying when I think of the possibility of you becoming a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator. If we have another competition in the future, how can I let you Liu Jianxian eat dirt?"

Liu Zhiqing sneered and said: "Are you bothered? The pebbles in the water of Yuying Cliff, the pebbles originally cost several hundred taels of silver, but you can't sell one or two of them for such a high price? I guess you have already thought about it, what about forty taels of silver?" Don’t rush to sell the nine pebbles, just squeeze them and wait for the price before selling them. It’s best to wait until I reach the Nascent Soul realm before selling?”

Chen Ping'an laughed and said: "It's a pity that you don't learn from me in business. There are materials that can be made."

Liu Zhiqing was about to travel far away with his sword, and Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "I'll give you a little free tip. When you get to the Golden Crow Palace, don't be in a hurry to clean your sword. You can first be... the accountant and make a rubbing of the genealogy of the Patriarch's Hall. Put it in your hand, and then silently watch the Golden Crow Palace on the other side of your mountain for a year and a half, observing the words and deeds of all the monks from a distance, who said what, what they did, and recorded it, which is related to their earliest origins, Make a comparison with your current state. Think more about why you say and do this. The longer you look at it, the more clearly you will understand all the connections in the human heart. Just like the god who sees the mountains and rivers in the palm of his hand, you will wash them in the future. I should be more comfortable with the sword."

Liu Zhiqing nodded, "It's feasible."

Chen Pingan waved goodbye and said, "I wish Liu Jianxian a good sword."

Liu Zhiqing asked: "What will happen to the shop on Laohuai Street when you leave?"

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Just leave it to a disciple of Song Lanqiao or a monk of Zhaoye Thatched Cottage. Ninety-one points will be divided. I left several magic weapons in the shop, including pairs of two large and small golden crowns, and There is a dragon chair from a certain Lake Lord in Cangjun Lake. The price is fixed anyway. When the time comes, I will return to the shop and count the goods, and I will know how much money I will earn. If I accidentally lose or lose it when I am not in the shop, It was stolen, and Chunlu Garden will surely compensate me at the original price. Anyway, I don’t have to worry about it, the harvest will be guaranteed regardless of drought or flood."

As for the purple robes and other items, Chen Pingan will not sell them.

This kind of fairy items are special and extremely rare, similar to military armor pills. They often cost a huge premium, but they are still expensive and have no market. In the future, when there are more people on the hills including Luolu Mountain, there will only be too few.

Liu Zhiqing suddenly hesitated.

Chen Pingan said: "Which one do you like? Friends are friends, and business is business. I will make an exception and give you... a 20% discount at most. It can't be any lower."

Liu Zhiqing smiled and said: "There are so many sets of hard yellow copies of the Goddess Pictures of Skeleton Beach Mural City. You are selling two Xiaoshu coins in the shop. There seems to be a lot of backlog. How about you give me a set? Talking about money hurts feelings, what? If it’s 20% off or not, I won’t buy it, just give it to me.”

Chen Ping'an glanced in the direction of Laohuai Street and said, "It's far away."

Liu Zhiqing sneered and said, "I can go to Xingying Shop to get it myself. Remember to change the lock later."

Chen Ping'an sighed, took out a set of pictures of goddesses that had been left nearby, and threw them to Liu Zhiqing together with the wooden box.

Liu Zhiqing put it in his sleeve, feeling satisfied.

Liu Zhiqing still likes beauties, beautiful scenery, good wine and tea. The several maids he had on the Molten Peak of the Golden Crow Palace were all very beautiful, but they were just for eye candy. Furthermore, if the Casting Peak does not accept them, their appearance and mediocre qualifications will make them fall into the hands of the palace mistress of the nephew, which is nothing more than a few ripples of thunder and lightning from the thunder clouds one day.

Chen Pingan suddenly said: "Actually, I have two sets of Pang Shanling's most proud works. Compared with these already sophisticated enough gallery-filled books, they are still different."

Liu Zhiqing shook his head and said, "You can keep it for yourself. A gentleman does not take away what others like."

Chen Pingan stretched out two fingers and twisted them gently.

Liu Zhiqing said angrily: "No money!"

Chen Pingan put away his hand and said with a smile: "I can't give you those two sets of pictures of goddesses. But when I return to Pima Sect, I can talk to Mr. Pang and see if I can ask him to write again. OK, I'll send it to the Golden Crow Palace Melting Peak, if it doesn't work, just pretend it didn't happen."

Liu Zhiqing's sword is far away from Yuying Cliff.

Chen Ping'an also took out his talisman boat and returned to the Bamboo Sea.

One night, walking a lot, practicing, practicing, this is the true multitasking, without delaying either.

Late at night, Chen Pingan picked up the sword gourd and put it on the table, took out the sword fairy from the bamboo box, and took out an object from the fifteen flying swords. With lightning speed, he unsheathed the sword and The sword was slashed, splitting a long sword sharpening stone in two. Chu Yi and Fifteen were hovering aside, eager to try. Chen Pingan's whole arm holding the sword began to feel numb, and he temporarily lost consciousness, but he still hurriedly lifted it. The sword fairy stared at the sword's edge with wide eyes and saw that there were no minor flaws or gaps, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Pingan sat cross-legged and began to practice small exercises with two pieces of the Dragon Slaying Platform, intending to put them into the two acupoints, let Chu Yi and Fifteen leave the sword gourd, sharpen the edge of the sword, and eat the two apart bit by bit. The dragon-slaying platform.

This dragon-slaying platform is the largest of the three sword-sharpening stones given to me by Sister Sword Spirit after she appeared in Old Dragon City.

I have always been reluctant to eat it on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Now that you have truly embarked on the path of spiritual practice, especially if you have made up your mind to refine the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month into a natal object that shares life and death with you, there is no need for any hesitation.

After discussing with Liu Zhiqing, a bottleneck sword cultivator in the golden elixir, Chen Ping'an felt that his method of controlling the bottom of the box was still a bit lacking, not enough, far from enough.

Too many skills don't overwhelm the body.

Even the talisman can be used as a cover-up.

Wearing a robe, he hid a large pile of ordinary talismans in his sleeves, pretending to be a talisman monk who relied on quantity to win.

After getting up close, he is a pure martial artist.

During the fight, he assessed the situation and looked for an opportunity to become a swordsman again. The two natal flying swords, which were greatly improved in speed, allowed the opponent to evade the first grade of junior high but not the fifteenth grade.

Finally, there is the sword fairy.

In the early morning, Chen Ping'an went to Laohuai Street, but he did not open the door for business. Instead, he went to the time-honored shop that specializes in selling study supplies, looking for an opportunity to get close to an apprentice, and roughly negotiated the deal. Intention, the young apprentice didn't think it was a big problem, but he only insisted on one thing. The forty-nine pebbles from Yuying Cliff could be carved by him into various elegant objects. Yes, within three days, ten days at most, Ten pieces of snow cost money, but they couldn't be sold at the Pingying Shop, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make a living on Laohuai Street in the future. Chen Ping'an agreed, and the two of them made an appointment to talk in detail at the Xingying Shop after the shop closed.

Chen Pingan then went to Zhaoye Cottage, which was a long way away, and met Master Tang Xian, one of the two great gods of wealth in Chunlu Pu. This man was also a legendary monk in Chunlu Pu. His early qualifications were not outstanding and he was not among the A direct disciple of the three lines of the Zushitang, he was finally good at doing business. Relying on the generous income sharing, he broke through the realm again and again, and finally reached the golden elixir realm, and no one underestimated him. After all, the monks in Chunlu Pu have always attached great importance to business.

Tang Qingqing was naturally present.

However, Wei Bai and the old nanny of Tiemou Mansion have returned to the Daguan Dynasty.

Tang Qingqing made tea in person, and while they were chatting with each other, the Tang Immortal Master learned that the young Sword Immortal planned to be a hands-off shopkeeper, so he took the initiative to ask for a smart monk to be sent to the Pingying Shop to help.

Chen Ping'an said 91%, Tang Xianshi smiled and said there is no such good thing, 10% dividend is too much, it is just a simple job of squatting in a shop to collect money every day, it is better to fix the remuneration, and after one year, Zhaoye Thatched Cottage The monk sent to the shop only needs thirty pieces of snow. However, Chen Ping'an felt that it was more reasonable to divide it into 91%, so Master Tang Xian agreed, and instead asked in detail if he could sell at a premium by relying on his eloquence and ability on Laohuai Street without damaging the reputation of repeat customers and the shop. , how to calculate it, Chen Pingan said that the premium should be divided in half. Master Tang Xian smiled and nodded, and then tentatively asked the young swordsman if he could allow the guys sent by Zhaoye Caotang to raise the existing prices by 10% or 20% after entering the Pingying shop in the future, so as to satisfy the customers. Bargaining, but the bottom line of bargaining, of course, will not be lower than the price of today's young swordsman. Chen Pingan smiled and said that this is the best. Doing business by yourself is still shallow, and it is best to leave it to Zhaoye Cottage to take care of it. choose.

After drinking tea, chatting about business, and saying some kind words like "you say good to me and I say better to you," Chen Ping'an said goodbye and left.

Tang Qingqing and her father stood outside the gate. She said doubtfully: "Dad, I have made it clear to you about the things on the ferry. Now that Chunlu Garden values ​​him so much, he is still a person who can make people happy." Liu Jianxian left Yuying Cliff and went to Jingzhe Mansion to invite the master to drink tea. Today, he came to our door and drank our tea. What a shame. Why is dad so fussy? I really want to be friends with him. Our family has no shortage of fairy money, so wouldn’t it be better to just buy out all the store’s inventory? He’s made a lot of money, and we’ve made a small loss, but it’s not a loss-making business, wouldn’t it be better?”

The man shook his head and said: "There is no business like this in the world. If this young swordsman came to ask for money openly, my father would not only give it to me, but also give him a large amount without even frowning. He would treat it as a waste of money and a disaster." But since he is here to do business with our Zhaoye Caotang, we need to follow the rules, so that we can truly last long and not turn good things into bad things."

Seeing that his daughter hadn't fully understood it, the man smiled and said, "Except for the situation of sudden wealth, there are all the long-term transactions, various businessmen, and various ways of making money in the world. One thing is the same.”

The man took out one of the most common copper coins of the Yamashita Dynasty from his sleeve, which he had treasured for many years. He spread it out in the palm of his hand and said, "This thing must be respected."

Chen Pingan then went to visit an old woman who was the mentor of Jindan ship owner Song Lanqiao. The old woman was also a Jindan monk, but she had a place in the Chunlu Pu Patriarch Hall, but Song Lanqiao did not have such treatment. In short, Chunlu Pu When discussing matters in the ancestral hall, eight people including the old woman and the ancestor Tan Ling had chairs to sit on. Tang Qingqing's father also had a chair, but it was at the very back, while Song Lanqiao could only stand.

When the old woman saw the young swordsman, she smiled brightly. She held Chen Pingan and exchanged polite greetings for more than half an hour. Chen Pingan remained calm and unhurried until the old woman spoke and said that she would not delay Chen Jianxian's practice. Then Chen Pingan stood up and left.

The gift I gave to the old woman when I visited her home was a spiritual weapon that I had not put in the shop. It was not tacky, but it was not too valuable, but it was very pleasing.

The old woman wanted to return the gift, but Chen Pingan declined politely, saying that if the senior was like this, he would not dare to come empty-handed next time. The old woman laughed heartily and then gave up.

When Chen Ping'an returned to Laohuai Street, just after noon, he opened the door of the shop and still sat on the small bamboo chair to bask in the sun.

Business is a bit deserted.

Coming and going, looking at the excitement, it took an hour to complete a transaction, and six snow coins were received. A young female cultivator bought a boudoir item from the Moon Palace, and she dropped the fairy on the counter. After making money, my steps were in a hurry when I went out.

Chen Pingan was too embarrassed to say that he would come again next time.

Chen Ping'an regretted not bringing Liu Zhiqing back as a buddy.

Liu Dajianxian had the nerve to ask for a set of pictures of goddesses filled with paintings for nothing. Why was he so embarrassed to let him help the shop attract business?

This is to help you Liu Zhiqing cultivate your mind, okay?

As dusk fell, the apprentice from the time-honored shop walked over quickly. Chen Pingan hung up the closing wooden sign, took out the forty-nine pebbles from a package, and piled them on the counter.

The young man swallowed and asked tremblingly: "Is it really something from Yuying Cliff?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not a hot thing. As for where it came from, don't worry about it. You only need to know that I own a short shop on Laohuai Street, and I have so many valuable things. Inside, do you think I would try to see how fast Liu Dajianxian’s flying sword is for this little fairy money?”

The young man breathed a sigh of relief.

He grabbed a pebble, weighed it, then looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a stone from the Yuying Cliff Spiritual Spring. The stone is exceptionally clear and moist. Without that pebble, it would be difficult to remove it from the jade in the mountains." The anger is indeed a good thing. In the eyes of the craftsmen at the foot of the mountain, I am afraid that beautiful stones are not carved. Shopkeeper, I have made this deal. I have finally learned a skill from my master over the years. It’s just that the mountain Good items are hard to find, and our shop has high standards. Master doesn’t want to waste good items, so he likes to do it himself, just letting us watch from the sidelines. We apprentices can’t do anything about it, so we just use it to practice our skills..."

At this point, the young man felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. No matter how ugly the truth is, it is still the truth. I just hope that you can practice your skills, but you still have to put more thought into it. After all, there are only so many stones in the old pit of Yuying Cliff. If you carve one out, you will lose one. pieces."

The young man put his fingers together and twisted his wrist. With a confident look on his face, he patted his chest and assured the young shopkeeper: "These are the first few times I've done since I debuted. I won't be careless."

Chen Ping'an lay on the counter and said with a smile: "Then I will give you the first pebble as a congratulation to Little Master Xu for his first sword."

The young man said shyly, "This is not good."

Chen Ping'an pointed at the pair of pebbles and said with a smile: "Pick one at will, but you must promise me that after the first pebble is carved, it will be yours. The rest will be cut after that, and you must take care of it."

The young man blushed and said, "Shopkeeper, just don't worry! I guarantee that everything is done with my full strength and success! Maybe there is a magic stroke or two, but in short, I will never let the shopkeeper's cockroach shop trust anyone."

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.

Carving stone is like burning porcelain and drawing blanks.

It is also important to note that practice makes perfect, but everything is difficult at the beginning.

The first pebble belongs to the young man. As long as he works hard and really pays attention, then the next pebble will have a natural meaning. Even if it is a little distracted, it will be better than the previous pure transaction. Knives, in general, the overall quality of all stones will still be better. Pingying Shop can naturally sell it for a higher price, and can easily make up for the loss of a Yuying Cliff pebble. Not surprisingly, Pingying Shop will earn only More.

Things in the world are never simple, it just depends on whether you are willing to think about it.

As for whether the young man's future with the master would be ruined by coming to the Pingying Shop to take on private work.

There are many smart people in Chunlu Garden who are good at planning.

Chen Ping'an asked the young apprentice to take away the cobblestones together with the package. After each piece was carved into a piece for the study, he only needed to bring it to the shop by himself or a friend, saying that he was a friend of the old shopkeeper. When the time came, the new shopkeeper would There won't be any difficulties. Or he could carve one and come to the shop to pick one up. After weighing the pros and cons, the young man felt that the latter was more stable, so he reassured the talkative young shopkeeper that if a certain pebble was lost, he would pay for it out of his own pocket. Snow money.

Unexpectedly, the young shopkeeper said again that it was really lost and he couldn't afford to pay for it, so it didn't matter. As long as the craftsmanship was there, it would be easy to negotiate with the Pingying Shop.

The young man left with a smile.

Chen Pingan stood at the door of the store and watched the man leave.

I vaguely saw the shadow of a straw-shoe boy picking up and delivering letters.

The next day, the Pingying Shop, which had been closed for two days, opened its doors to find a new shopkeeper. He had good eyesight and knew that this person was from the Zhaoye Cottage of Master Tang Xian. And the goods in the shop can finally be bargained for.

On this day, Chen Ping'an, who was still wearing an ordinary green shirt, carried a bamboo box, a bamboo hat, and a hiking stick in his hand, and told the two maids of the mansion that he was leaving Chunlu Garden today.

The young female cultivator who is the direct disciple of the Golden elixir cultivator has already sent a message to the mansion to give the talisman boat to Chen Jianxian, so there is no need to be polite.

After Chen Pingan thanked him, he was really rude.

I took out the talisman flying boat and went to Laohuai Street. At the end of the street was the old locust tree that shaded several acres of land.

The young man in green shirt stood under the locust tree and looked up for a long time.

Many people and events in the past are imaginable and beyond our reach.
