Sword of Coming

Sui Jingcheng was a little uncomfortable.

In my impression, senior Wang Bu was the first person in martial arts since the founding of the Wuling Kingdom. He was said to be the great master who could fight all over the Wuling Kingdom with one hand. He was well-known in both the government and the public, whether he was a martial artist or a scholar. , or traffickers and pawns, they all say that the old man Wang Bu is an elegant old man in blue shirt. He is good at all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition to his extraordinary skills, he is also worried about the country and the people. He once wore a blue shirt on the border. One man took charge of the pass and intercepted an enemy cavalry force attacking from the south at the Kengguan Pass, buying enough time for the Wuling Kingdom's border troops to arrange their troops...

Chen Ping'an took the seat first, followed by Sui Jingcheng.

Wang Dun stood up again, went to the counter and picked up three bottles of wine, one for each person, and said proudly: "I'm treating you."

When Wang Dun put the jug in front of Sui Jingcheng, he whispered: "The daughter of the old servant Sui Xinyu, right? She looks really good. The four beauties are equally famous, each with his or her own merits. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. Give us the women of Wuling Kingdom a higher Losing face, I am more worthy of receiving a plaque from the emperor than me, the bottom of the world, but I have to say it's fair, the swordsman you found, whether it is the master or the husband, is stingy I will only give you a bowl of wine."

Sui Jingcheng glanced at Chen Ping'an across the table, but he just opened the mud seal and poured wine into the big white bowl. Sui Jingcheng smiled at the old man who claimed to be covered with dough: "Old Master Wang..."

Wang Dun was not very happy when he heard this, and waved his hands and said: "You are not old, you are old, your heart is not old, just call me Master Wang. If you call him by his first name, just call me Wang Dun. That's fine."

Sui Jingcheng nodded, "Master Wang, now the Qingci swordsman Xiao Shuye is dead."

Wang Dun sighed and heard the implication of this "Beauty of the Sui Family". He raised his wine bowl and took a sip of wine, "But I'm still not at the bottom? Any old guy picked up by the Great Seal Dynasty is even more skilled than I am tall."

Sui Jingcheng felt that he had nothing to say.

Wang Dun smiled and turned to look at the young man in green shirt. He was a swordsman named Chen whose deeds had been published in several landscape newspapers. The earliest record should be a visit to Chunlu Garden. On a ferry, he abandoned his flying sword and just used fist to fist to knock down a martial artist named Liao from the Tiekou Mansion of the Daguan Dynasty. Later, Liu Zhiqing, the swordsman of the Golden Crow Palace, passed by with his sword, saying that it was A sword split the thunder clouds protecting the mountain of Golden Crow Palace, and then the two fellows who were supposed to be enemies and fight ended up drinking tea together at Chunlu Garden Yuying Yaqing. Rumor has it that they became friends, and now they are in Wuling Kingdom again. Removed Xiao Shuye's head.

Wang Dun asked: "This foreign swordsman won't kill me with a sword just because I said you are not generous enough?"

Chen Pingan smiled helplessly: "Of course not."

Wang Dun raised the wine bowl, and Chen Ping'an followed suit and bumped it lightly. Wang Dun drank the wine and asked softly: "How old are you?"

Chen Pingan said: "About three hundred years old."

Wang Dun put down the wine bowl and touched his heart, "I feel a little better now, otherwise I always feel like I have lived a long life like a dog."

Sui Jingcheng smiled slightly.

Although he couldn't compare with the senior Wang Dun in his impression, it seemed that it would be better to sit at the same table and drink with such an old owner of Sasu Villa.

Wang Dun lowered his voice and asked: "Did you really just fight fist to punch and beat the man surnamed Liao from Tieyou Mansion to the point where he fell off the ferry?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's a bit too much, it's very dangerous."

Wang Dun smiled and asked: "Then let's compare notes? The kind that lasts until the last minute. Don't worry, it's just that I drank some wine and met a real master from this world, and my hands are a little itchy."

Chen Pingan shook his head.

Wang Dun said: "You drank two bottles of wine for free, and you don't want to do such a small thing?"

Wang Dun saw that the man showed no sign of changing his mind, "Then I beg you?"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, nodded and said: "Just follow what Senior Wang said, fist to fist, just click."

Wang Dun stood up, looked around, and seemed to have picked out a wine table next to him. He pressed it lightly with his palm, and the four table legs turned into powder, but there was no sound, and the tabletop fell gently to the ground.

Chen Pingan said: "If you feel that the two people jumping on the table to discuss things seem a bit like a show in the eyes of others, then we can just move the table."

Wang Dun was stunned for a moment, "I do want to do this. Aren't I afraid that you, the swordsman, will feel that you will lose your status?"

The two walked onto the table almost at the same time.

Sui Jingcheng wanted to get up and walk out of the restaurant, but Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to signal her not to get up.

After Wang Rui stood still, he cupped his fists and said, "Wang Rui of Wuling Kingdom's Sansao Villa has a small mastery of boxing skills. I hope you can teach me."

Chen Pingan clasped his fists in return, but said nothing. He stretched out his hand and said, "Please."

It is inappropriate to report your true place of origin and name.

I don't want to say that I am a good person.

The spectators in the distance were in an uproar. Why did this old wine seller become Senior Wang Dun?

But when the old man tore off the mask on his face and revealed his true face, the crowd became excited. It turned out to be the old man Wang Dun who had never been seen before!

Wang Duan's fist shot out like a rainbow, with fierce momentum but no murderous intent.

That green shirt is more defensive than offensive.

When the two of them stood side by side, Wang Bu smiled and said: "Now that we have figured out the general details, can we let go a little bit?"

Chen Pingan nodded.

In the distance of the street and on the roofs and trees on the walls, the martial arts warriors were excited to watch. This kind of peak battle between the two sides was limited to a small area, which was really unprecedented in a century.

Senior Wang Dun is worthy of being the number one person in our Wuling Kingdom. When he met a swordsman, he dared to throw punches without losing.

Although the swordsman has not yet used a flying sword, but just by saying a word of conscience, senior Wang Dun has already risked his wealth and life, and the dignity of a martial artist who has never been defeated in his life, to give all the martial arts in Wuling Kingdom. The middle man has earned a huge amount of face! Senior Wang Duan is truly the bravest man of our Wuling Kingdom!

Those heroes who only dared to watch the battle from a distance. Firstly, there were no real martial arts masters. Secondly, they were far away from the wine shop. Naturally, they could not see it as clearly as Sui Jingcheng.

For example, she saw that when the senior was about to end the sparring, he suddenly sped up his shot, took a step forward, twisted his wrist, and knocked away Wang Duan's punch. On the door, Wang Dun should be able to slap the table below the two sides with one palm. Unexpectedly, Wang Dun quickly winked, and the senior nodded slightly. Wang Dun's originally slightly slower punch was the same as the senior's palm. Hitting each other almost at the same time, the two of them slid forward two steps together. Both sides had a clear understanding of each other, and they both landed on the edge of the table.

Sui Jingcheng saw that Wang Dui started to wink again, and the senior in green shirt also started to wink. Sui Jingcheng was confused. Why did it feel like he was bargaining for a deal? However, despite bargaining, the two of them punched and palmed each other faster and faster. Every time they came back and forth, the results were almost evenly matched. No one took advantage. From the outside, it looked like a neck-and-neck contest. The Battle of the Grandmasters.

In the end, the two people must have agreed on the "price". One person punched the other person's chest, and the table below them split into two. They each stomped their feet and stood still, and then each clasped their fists.

Call it a day.

Wang Dun laughed and said: "I never thought that a swordsman could have such good boxing skills."

The other party said loudly: "Your Wang Bu's fists are more powerful and polished to be more flawless. It can take ten years or five years. I will come to Sasu Villa to learn boxing skills with you Wang Bu."

Sui Jingcheng rubbed his forehead and lowered his head to drink. He felt that he couldn't bear to look at it. He felt that the two people were complimenting each other, and he felt that the real world was like wine mixed with water.

If Hu Xinfeng, Xiao Shuye and his like did this, she, Sui Jingcheng, would not care. But he and senior Wang Bu were so shameless that Sui Jingcheng almost had the world shattered. She never wanted to touch the Jianghu romance novels in her life.

Wang Dun walked to the door of the wine shop, held his fists high in the air, saluted everyone, and then waved his hand, "Let's all disperse."

Cheers and cheers came and went, and then gradually dispersed.

Senior Wang Dun said this, so naturally it was hard for everyone to stay any longer.

When Wang Dun sat back down, the swordsman in blue had already picked up the two half-torn tabletops on the ground and stacked them on a nearby wine table.

After Wang Dun sat down, he took a sip of wine and said with emotion: "Since you have such a high level of cultivation, why do you take the initiative to seek out me, Wang Dun, for the sake of the family behind Nizi of the Sui family? I hope that I, Wang Dun, will be with you. After you two leave Wuling Kingdom and go to the mountains to practice, can you help take care of me?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "I don't have any such request. I just hope to show my face here to remind some people in the dark that if they want to take action against the Sui family, they should consider the consequences of seeking revenge from me."

Wang Dun hummed and nodded, "The intrigues among the cultivators on the mountain are actually just grievances and grievances that have lengthened the lifespan of both parties. Ultimately, they are the same and have no meaning. On the contrary, you should be a young sword cultivator. , not like the gods on the mountain I have seen before, so I don’t feel like I’m wasting the drinks by inviting you to drink. Am I saying that in a too strong tone?”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Martial arts practice is all about being down-to-earth. There are no shortcuts. If you are not ambitious and see farther, how can you reach the top step by step?"

Although Wang Dun sells wine, he doesn't seem to have much of a hobby for drinking. He mostly drinks slowly and in small sips, never drinking heavily. He said sadly: "This wine shop can't be opened. Many people in the world can't listen to their true words." ”

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Master Wang doesn't like to hear good words so much?"

Wang Dun curled his lips and said, "I also like to listen. When I was young, I liked to listen very much. Now I love to listen even more. It's just that I like to hear good things. If I don't listen to more truthful and unpleasant words, I'm afraid that I, Wang Dun, will drift into the sea of ​​clouds. Once inside, when the time comes for people to drift away, and they don’t have the magical powers of the Immortal from the Sea of ​​Clouds, they still fall to death?”

Chen Pingan glanced at the sky.

Wang Dun smiled and asked: "As agreed before, apart from a dozen jars of good wine, what else should I bring out from the villa?"

Chen Ping'an said: "Two fast horses, and the address of the Fairy's Ferry in the Green Warbler Kingdom."

Wang Dun wondered: "That's it?"

Chen Pingan said: "It's already a lot."

Wang Dun pointed at the counter, "The more wine is placed below, the mellower the taste. Sword Immortal can take it as he pleases."

Chen Ping'an got up and went to the counter and started pouring wine into the sword gourd.

Jar after jar was opened.

After the five jars of old wine were unsealed, Wang Dun couldn't sit still. He lay on the counter and whispered softly: "On the Jianghu Road, if you drink and get into trouble, that's about it."

The young swordsman in green shirt turned his back to Wang Dun and kept pouring the wine in his hand. "It's okay. Put more wine in it and you can drink less."

Wang Dun hesitated for a moment and reminded: "I can change my face and continue selling wine in another place."

The young swordsman raised his head and said with a smile: "Then I wish the owner of Wangzhuang good luck in starting his business and great wealth."

Seeing that he didn't follow the way, Wang Dun had no choice but to continue: "The jars of old wine down there are too strong, and they are called Shou Meijiu. They are actually the wines from my old cellar at Sasao Villa. Generally, people who come to this wine shop don't know the name of the wine, even if they pay for it. If you can't afford it, you don't dare to drink two bowls of it. It has too much stamina, so it's called two bowls of sloshing or three bowls of pouring. You might as well mix it with ordinary wine, it will taste better."

The young man shook his head and said: "It's okay. Drinking is not tea. There is no need to pay attention to the long aftertaste. Drinking to get drunk is natural."

Wang Dun couldn't bear it anymore, "Nowadays, there are so many distinguished guests in Zhuangzi, including official family members, friends from the world, and celebrities in the literary world. They can't wait any longer. The thirty jars of plum wine stored in Zhuangzi have probably been exhausted. So I came here to hide in peace and quiet, and I also wanted to keep a few jars of plum wine, can't you be considerate?"

The young man had already opened the last jar of plum wine and said angrily: "Senior, why didn't you tell me earlier that once the mud seal is opened, it can't hide the taste? We have already drank almost all of it at the wine table, otherwise we can have a taste." It’s a pity, a pity, that the taste of this plum wine is not put into my wine flask right now. Well, since Mr. Wang wants to keep a jar for himself, I would only like to share a bowl of wine with others. It's a stingy act to drink, but I'd better forget it and leave this jar to Master Wang."

Wang Duan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where is it? Just pour the wine. I, Wang Duan, am not that kind of person. I give good wine to the Sword Immortal. I hide the wine to nourish the sword gourd. Beautiful things in the world. It's a good thing."

So in the end, not a single jar of plum wine was left.

Wang Rui turned around, as if watching his daughters getting married in distant places, feeling a little sad and unwilling to look again.

Wang Dun turned his back to the counter and sighed, "When are you leaving here? It's not that I don't want to be hospitable to guests, so I'd better not go to the Villa. It's just some boring entertainment."

Then Wang Dun told the detailed address of the Xianjia Ferry in Green Ying Country.

Chen Ping'an walked around the counter and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Wang to get two horses. We won't spend the night in the town and will leave immediately."

Wang Duan waved his hand and called a disciple of the villa who came after hearing the news to him from the far corner of the street. He was a middle-aged swordsman with a face as beautiful as a jade. Wang Duan had mixed martial arts skills, whether it was boxing or light kung fu. , or swords and guns, he is the well-deserved number one in the Wuling Kingdom, so among the direct disciples, each has his own proficiency. This person who came to the wine shop is the proud disciple who has learned the true inheritance of Wang Duan's swordsmanship. He is a stable disciple in the Wuling Kingdom. The top three masters in swordsmanship, after meeting Chen Ping'an, listened to his master's instructions. Before leaving the wine shop, he did not forget to salute the green-robed swordsman with clasped fists: "Wang Jingshan, a disciple of Sasu Villa, pays homage to the swordsman. From now on, the swordsman If you ever pass by the villa again, please ask the Sword Immortal to give you some pointers on swordsmanship."

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Wang Dun smiled and said: "What kind of swordsmanship are you talking about? If the flying swords on the mountain come and go, you, Wang Jingshan, will lose. Just say that you want to see the sword immortal's destiny with your own eyes, and you are not ashamed to give any bullshit reasons."

Wang Jingshan was obviously familiar with his master's temper and did not feel embarrassed. He smiled and left.

Soon Wang Jingshan brought two horses from the villa. In addition to Wang Jingshan, there were also two riders, a pair of boys and girls, who were Wang Jingshan's junior brothers and sisters.

Three people and five horses came to this county town not far from Sasu Villa.

Ordinary people in the villa would not dare to go to a wine shop with Wang Jingshan to harass the master. To see the legendary swordsman, the two master's favorite disciples, was so tough that Wang Jingshan had to bite the bullet and take them with him.

Wang Dun and the two foreigners were not at the wine shop, but the three of them stood at the door of the inn near the wine shop.

Without any polite greetings, Chen Ping'an and Sui Jingcheng got on their horses and rode away.

The young man who carried a sword like Wang Jingshan clenched his hands into fists and exclaimed: "He is indeed the swordsman mentioned in the book!"

Wang Dun smiled and asked: "Which of your dog eyes can see that?"

The young man was not afraid of Master Wang Duan at all. He bent his fingers and pointed at his own eyes, "You can see it all!"

This movement was naturally learned from the master.

The girl was wearing a sword and said disapprovingly: "I don't see any clues anyway."

The young man sneered and said: "You are a swordsman, unlike me. Naturally, you cannot feel the endless sword power of the sword immortal. I am afraid of scaring you. I just took a few glances and it benefited greatly. Next time you Let me spar, if I just borrow a little bit of the Sword Immortal’s sword intent, you will definitely lose!”

Wang Dun slapped the young man on the head, "You look silly, why didn't you say this when the sword fairy was here just now?"

The young man said seriously: "The Sword Immortal's momentum is too strong. I was suppressed by the earth-shattering sword power and couldn't open my mouth."

Wang Dun slapped him again, causing the boy's head to dangle, "Get out of the way."

The young man walked out swaggeringly, turned around and said with a smile: "On the way here, I heard that Senior Brother Jingshan said that Lu Dayong, the river-turning dragon, had learned the flying sword of the Sword Immortal. I went to ask if he accidentally learned it again. After a trace of the true meaning of Feijian, haha, let alone senior sister, even senior brother Jingshan will not be my opponent in the future. For me, it is gratifying, but for senior brother Jingshan, it is really sad and lamentable."

After saying that, the boy carrying the sword walked as fast as flying.

Wang Jingshan suppressed his laughter, "Master, who does this little junior brother's bad habit come from?"

In order to distance himself, Wang Dun started to throw dirty water at random, "It should be your senior sister."

Fu Loutai, Wang Dun's eldest disciple, is also one of the top three swordsman masters in Wuling Kingdom, and Fu Loutai's swordsmanship skills are also very good. However, a few years ago, the old girl got married, and she actually married her husband and raised her son. She made a thorough choice. She left the world, and the man she married was neither a well-matched hero nor a son of a powerful family, but an ordinary man from a well-off family, and he was seven or eight years younger than her, which was even more strange. The whole Sasao Villa, from Wang Dun to all the junior brothers and sisters in Fu Loutai, didn't think there was anything wrong, and they never paid attention to some gossips in the world. In the early years when Wang Dun was away from the villa, it was actually Fu Loutai who taught martial arts. Even though Wang Jingshan was older than Fu Loutai, he still had great respect for this senior sister.

Therefore, the young girl felt aggrieved and complained: "Master, I can't let you, the senior sister, go to the villa and kill the donkey. This is too unethical."

Wang Dun ignored it and walked back to the wine shop with his two disciples.

After closing this wine shop, it was natural to move.

Wang Dun sat at the wine table, and Wang Jingshan began to take this opportunity to report to the old man the current situation of Saswei Villa, financial income and expenditure, human relations, the appropriate hanging of the emperor's imperial plaque, the chosen day as the auspicious day of the zodiac, and which sect members. The hero handed over his name card and gifts, but did not stay in the villa. Who complained to Wang Jingshan when he stayed at the villa? When did he want to ask Wang Dun for help in communicating with someone, and who from which sect was there? At the birthday party for the old man Jianghu, Saswei Villa needs someone to show up and return the gift. A servant from the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment personally sent a letter to the Villa, asking Zhuangzi to send people to help the government solve a suspenseful murder case in the capital...

Wang Dun poured the wine from the flask on the table into the big white bowl, and drank the wine in sips. For some things that Wang Jingshan had already decided, the old man mostly just nodded, even if it was passed. If he felt that it was not safe enough, he would give a few words of advice. Some of the things that Wang Dun thought were more important were explained in detail, and Wang Jingshan wrote them down one by one.

The girl with the sword yawned as she listened, but did not dare to ask for a drink. She just lay on the table, looking at the street beyond the inn, secretly thinking about the face of the woman wearing a power fence, and whether she could Will she be a great beauty? If the power fence is removed, will it be just like that, and won't it make people feel amazing at all? However, the girl was still a little disappointed. The Sword Immortal who she originally thought she would never have the chance to meet in her lifetime, except that she was surprisingly young, did not seem to fit the image of the Sword Immortal in her mind at all.

Wang Jingshan talked for nearly half an hour before finishing all the recent bustling matters at the villa.

Wang Jingshan never drinks alcohol, is extremely dedicated to swordsmanship, does not approach women, and is a vegetarian all year round. However, after his elder sister Fu Loutai retired from the world, most of the affairs of the villa were managed by him and an old housekeeper, who took charge of the house. Except for Wang Jingshan, in fact, the old housekeeper is old and has suffered many illnesses in the world in his early years. He is no longer energetic, so Wang Jingshan is more responsible. For example, after his master Wang Dui became one of the ten, the old housekeeper was in a hurry. , Wang Jingshan needs to come forward to manage the relationship. After all, many famous people in the world have to carefully consider the identity and cultivation level of the disciples of Sasu Villa who are responsible for receiving them. If Wang Jingshan comes forward, he will naturally have a good face. If Lu Zhuo, who was the least qualified among the many disciples of senior Wang Dui, was responsible for entertaining, so that would be embarrassing.

Wang Dun picked up a bowl to drink, put it down, and said: "Jingshan, do you blame your Senior Sister Fu? If she was still in Zhuangzi, you wouldn't have to shoulder all these messy affairs, and maybe you could be promoted to the throne earlier. Seven realms.”

Wang Jingshan smiled and said: "I don't believe it myself when I say I don't complain at all. It's just that I don't complain much. What's more, I complain about why Senior Sister Fu found such a mediocre man. I always feel that Senior Sister can find a better one."

Wang Dun smiled and said: "If the love between men and women could be reasonable, I guess there wouldn't be so many novels about talented people and beautiful ladies that are so common."

Wang Jingshan never gets too involved in such topics.

In fact, even if he didn't like the timid and unflattering man who occasionally followed Sister Fu to the villa a few times, Wang Jingshan was polite and courteous, with no lack of courtesy. Not only that, but also Try your best to restrain those junior brothers and sisters, worrying that they will accidentally reveal any emotions. In the end, it is Senior Sister Fu who is the most difficult person.

Wang Dun paused for a moment, feeling a little sad, "Master feels a little sorry for delaying your sword practice, but to put it bluntly, seeing you busy with your work makes Master feel very happy. I always feel that It is very satisfying to accept you as my disciple and teach you swordsmanship. But no matter what, master still wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

Wang Jingshan sat upright and said, "Master, please speak. Disciple is listening."

Wang Dun smiled and said softly: "Jingshan, if one day you feel tired, really tired of these villa servants, and want to travel around the world with one sword, don't feel guilty, don't feel guilty at all, just be generous. Find the master and bring a jug of good wine. After the master drinks, he will see you off. Whenever you want to go home, come back. After resting, go out into the world again. This is how it should be, and how it should be."

Wang Jingshan hummed.

The girl with the sword on the next table had tears in her eyes.

It would be very sad to think that senior sister is no longer in the villa, and if senior brother Wang Jingshan is also gone.

But what makes the girl even more sad is that her master is getting old.

Wang Jingshan suddenly said: "Master, then I will go to the world now?"

Wang Dun was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Don't bother me. Master drank too much today. He just said some drunken talk to you for free. Don't take it seriously. Even if you take it seriously, it will be later. Now Zhuangzi still needs You take the lead..."

The girl rolled her eyes, turned her head, and lay on the table.

This master who never behaves like a master in front of his own people is really annoying to me.

However, whether it is Senior Sister Fu or Senior Brother Wang Jingshan, they are both Wang Dui, the number one person in the Wuling Kingdom in the world, and the master who is always slacking off at Sasao Villa are two different people.

She and her junior brother also believed this.

Because both Fu Loutai and Wang Jingshan had traveled through the world with their master.

Master has had several conflicts with the Taoist cultivators on the mountain in his life, and there have been several near-fatal fights.

The reason why Master took action was exactly the same as what Senior Sister Fu Loutai and Senior Brother Wang Jingshan said: Master was nosy.

But for some reason, when Fu Loutai and Wang Jingshan said this, not only did they not complain about their master at all, but their eyes seemed to be filled with brilliance.

The young man with the sword on his back came to the wine shop like the wind and sat down on the bench next to his master Wang Dui.

Among Wang Dun's disciples, this young man was the only one who could do this without any scruples.

Wang Dun smiled and asked: "What, have you gained anything?"

The young man lamented: "That river dragon, Lu Dayong, was exaggerating. He sprayed saliva all over my face, so I always had to be careful to block his hidden weapon of spit. Besides, Lu Dayong only repeated a few sentences over and over again. I'm not really a god. Think about it." There isn’t much true meaning of Feijian, so Senior Brother Wang’s luck is better than that of Young Senior Sister, otherwise I would already be the number one among Master’s disciples.”

Wang Jingshan smiled and said: "Then I will go back and thank Master Hu for his mercy?"

The young man waved his hand, "No need. Anyway, my swordsmanship is better than yours, either today or tomorrow."

Wang Jingshan smiled and said, "Oh?"

The boy changed his words and said: "It's either this year or next year!"

Wang Jingshan stopped talking.

Although this little junior brother doesn't have any rules.

But it’s about practicing swordsmanship.

But the young man is the most well-behaved person in Sasu Villa.

This is enough.

Wang Pu glanced at the three disciples who had different temperaments but were all very good. He felt that he could drink a little more wine today, so he got up and went to the counter, but was stunned.

Why are there three extra bottles of unfamiliar wine?

After opening one of the pots, all three disciples could smell the clear and distant aroma of wine.

Wang Dun laughed loudly, and before he sat down, he asked the girl to take a bowl with him. Even Wang Jingshan was asked to take a bowl to fill the wine. He said that he was allowed to have a drink and taste the wine of the gods on the mountain, and then the old man gave them to them. Everyone poured different shades of Xianjia wine into their bowls.

The young man took a sip and said in surprise: "Mom, this drink is very refreshing, much better than our Zhuangzi's Slim Plum Wine! It is indeed a gift from the Sword Immortal, it's amazing!"

Wang Jingshan also took a sip and felt that it was indeed different, but still did not want to drink more.

After the girl took a sip, she didn't think anything of it, but it was still hard to swallow. Is there any drink in the world that tastes good?

The old man smiled at the young man and asked, "You are a swordsman, but your master is not a swordsman. Do you feel regretful?"

The young man took a sip of the immortal wine and said carelessly: "That disciple is not a swordsman either."

The old man smiled and nodded. The hand that was always ready to hit the young man on the back of the head with a chestnut quietly changed to the palm of his hand and touched the young man's head. His face was full of kindness: "He is still a conscientious person."

The young man nodded vigorously, and then while the master lowered his head to drink, he turned to wink at the girl, probably wanting to ask me if I was smart or powerful, so that I could escape disaster and save myself a chestnut.

The girl began to complain to the master.

Wang Jingshan began to add insult to injury.

The young man began to act stupid and crazy.

Wang Dun didn't say anything, he just poured the wine in their bowls into his own white bowl, raised his head to gather the bowls, and drank it all in one gulp.

To go to the Green Eagle Kingdom, which is located on the eastern coast of Beiju Luzhou, you need to go all the way north from the Wuling Kingdom and pass through the two countries of Jingnan and Beiyan.

They are not big countries, but they are not vassals of a big dynasty either.

Jingnan has many swamps and lakes, while Northern Yan has many mountains and mountains.

However, the relationship between Jingnan and Wuling Kingdom has not been very good. There have been many frictions on the border, but there have been very few wars involving more than 10,000 border troops in the past century.

The Wuling Kingdom's border troops mostly rely on the dangerous passes in the north, while the Jingnan navy is strong, making it difficult for both sides to penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland. Therefore, if there are border generals who like to defend the border, the border between the two countries will be peaceful and border trade will be prosperous. But if If it were the border generals who like to accumulate small military achievements and seek temple fame, there would be countless small battles. Anyway, it is destined that there will not be a war involving all the national strength. The border troops will have no worries no matter how much they do. The emperors of the two countries have a tacit understanding and try not to At the same time, warriors who like to kill will be used to guard the border. However, the foreign relatives in Jingnan Kingdom are now very powerful. More than ten years ago, a young and noble foreign relative took the initiative to request to be transferred to the south to strengthen his troops and build a cavalry. He started several times. Provocations, and it is rare for the Wuling Kingdom to have a local Confucian general who has risen from the border and is proficient in the art of war. In the past few years, he was in charge of the northern defense line, so there has been a series of small-scale killings in recent years. Ten years ago, if it were not for Wang Blunt happened to be visiting the border, and inadvertently blocked the elite cavalry of Jingnan Kingdom from knocking on the pass without warning. Maybe Wuling Kingdom would fall to one or two important border towns. Of course, they could also capture them, but the two sides fought. The number of soldiers and soldiers dying on the battlefield will definitely be the largest in a hundred years.

Chen Pingan and Sui Jingcheng rode at a small pass in the Wuling Kingdom that was not heavily guarded. They handed over the ultimatum and crossed the border. Then they did not take the official road of Jingnan Kingdom. They still followed Chen Pingan's route plan and planned to choose some mountains and fields. The path leads through mountains and rivers, looking for dangers and secluded places.

As a result, not long after entering the country, I watched a fight on a narrow road from a distance on a secluded trail.

There are two groups of scouts, each with dozens of horses.

The elite cavalry going south are the scouts of the Wuling Kingdom, and the scouts returning north are the elite cavalry of the Jingnan Kingdom.

Sui Jingcheng wondered: "It's always the barbarians from the Jingnan Kingdom who go south to raid the pass and harass them. Why did our scouts take the initiative to enter the enemy's territory?"

Chen Pingan said: "This shows that the young Confucian general of your Wuling Kingdom who is famous in both the government and the public has great ambitions. A person who joined the army at a young age and became a third-rank general on the border of a country in less than ten years is definitely not simple."

The two riders left the trail early and stopped in the dense forest beside the road. After tying their horses, Chen Ping'an and Sui Jingcheng stood on a tree overlooking the battlefield.

The Jingnan Kingdom has always had an outstanding naval force, second only to the Da Zhuan Dynasty and the Daguan Dynasty in the south. However, it has almost no regular cavalry that can actually enter the battlefield. In the past ten years, the military general who was a relative of the country bordered the west. After the Liang Kingdom bought war horses on a large scale, they gathered together a cavalry army of about 4,000 people. Unfortunately, there was no success in the expedition. They met Wang Dun, the number one man in the Wuling Kingdom. Facing such a great master of martial arts, even if the cavalry army was Even with its six legs, it couldn't catch up with the horse. It was doomed to fail and the military information would be leaked, so he retreated back then.

On the other hand, the infantry and cavalry of the Wuling Kingdom have never been outstanding in the territory of more than ten countries, and can even be said to be quite inferior. However, they have always been at an advantage when facing the soldiers and horses of the Jingnan Kingdom, which only focuses on water divisions.

Therefore, Sui Jingcheng, as a member of the Wuling Kingdom, felt that after the two groups of scouts met, his side of the border army would definitely win.

However, the situation on the battlefield turned out to be a one-sided outcome. After the scouts from both sides encountered each other, there was no room for maneuver on the path, and the scout leaders from both sides did not hesitate at all.

The scouts from the two countries rode forward in silence without any roar.

The first few rounds of bow and crossbow cavalry shooting resulted in casualties. The Jingnan scouts Xiaosheng shot and wounded five Wuling scouts, but the Jingnan Jingqi itself only had two dead and one wounded.

Draw the knife and fight again.

The two sides passed each other.

Again, the scouts from Wuling Kingdom who secretly entered the country suffered more casualties.

After the two sides exchanged positions on the battlefield, two Wuling Kingdom scouts who were injured and fell off their horses tried to escape from the trail, but were shot in the head and neck by several Jingnan Kingdom scouts holding arm crossbows.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Jing Nanguo scout fell to the ground, and his fate was even worse. Several arrows were driven into his face and chest. He was also bent sideways by a rider, and a knife was accurately smeared on his neck. Blood was spilled on the ground.

The Wuling Kingdom scouts located in the south of the battlefield continued southward with only one horse and two horses.

In fact, the scouts on both sides were not riding alone, but fighting on a narrow road and rushing past in a hurry. Some of the horses that tried to follow their owners through the battle formation would be shot or chopped as much as possible when the other side dug into the formation.

Therefore, the Wuling Kingdom scout rode two horses in exchange for a colleague who decisively gave up his mount.

Otherwise, one person and one rider will not be able to run very far.

The rest of the Wuling Kingdom scouts turned their horses' heads one after another, with a simple purpose: to risk their lives to hinder the pursuit of the enemy scouts.

Of course, the scout who had lost his horse also took a deep breath and stood with his sword in hand.

On the battlefield, a large group of cavalry did not dare to fight and then retreat. The most elite scouts in the cavalry could actually do it, but in this case, it would be easy for even that cavalry to be unable to compete with this group of cavalry. The barbarians from the Southern Kingdom were moved to distance themselves.

The two sides were originally about the same strength, but there was a gap in strength. After crossing the formation, one man and two cavalry from the Wuling Kingdom fled the battlefield, so the disparity in combat power became even greater.

After a while.

Just corpses everywhere.

Jingnan Kingdom's scouts, with three horses and six horses, silently pursued him.

Under the orders of a young soldier, the other scouts dismounted from their horses, or pressed their light crossbows against the forehead of the injured enemy scout on the ground. With a bang, the arrows were nailed into the skull.

There were also two scouts from the Jingnan Kingdom standing behind a seriously injured enemy cavalry, and they began to compete with each other for the accuracy of their bows and crossbows. The loser became so angry that he drew his sword, walked forward quickly, and chopped off his head with one blow.

The young soldier had an expressionless face. He stepped on the corpse of a Wuling Kingdom scout with one foot and slowly wiped away the blood on the sword in his hand with the face of the corpse on the ground.

A Wuling Kingdom scout who should have been seriously injured and died suddenly pointed his arm crossbow at an enemy who approached him and cut off his head. The latter had no way to hide and subconsciously raised his hands to protect his face.

The young warrior seemed to have expected it. Without turning his head, he threw out the sword in his hand. The blade just cut off the crossbow-holding arm. The Jingnan Kingdom scout whose life was saved became furious and his eyes widened. Bloodshot and striding forward, he was about to chop the broken-armed scout into pieces. He never thought that the young man in the distance said: "Don't kill to vent your anger, give him a good time. Maybe one day we will end up like this." .”

Although the Jingnan Kingdom scout was furious, he still nodded, silently moved forward, stabbed the man on the ground in the neck, twisted his wrist, and quickly pulled it out.

Not long after, the three cavalry scouts returned, with the head of the Wuling Kingdom's inescapable cavalry in their hands. The headless body was placed on the back of an auxiliary horse.

The young soldier reached out to take the sword handed over by a subordinate scout, gently put it back into the scabbard, walked to the headless corpse, and searched out a pile of military intelligence collected by the other party.

The young soldier leaned on his horse and carefully read through the intelligence reports. He remembered something and raised his head and ordered: "After my brother's body was collected, the enemy scouts beheaded him, collected the body, dug a hole and buried it."

One of the strong scouts complained plaintively: "Chief Gu Biao, this kind of dirty and tiring work can only be done by the garrison nearby."

The young soldier smiled and said, "I won't let you do it in vain. For my two heads, you can decide among yourselves who should give them to me this time."

Cheers spread.

In the end, this group of Jingnan Kingdom scouts with astonishing combat power roared away.

Standing on a tree in the dense forest beside the road, Sui Jingcheng's face was pale, and she remained silent from beginning to end.

Chen Pingan asked: "Why don't you ask me to save people?"

Sui Jingcheng just shook his head.

The two led the horse out of the dense forest. After Chen Pingan got on his horse, he turned his head and looked at the end of the road. The young soldier appeared in the distance and stopped his horse. After a moment, the man grinned and looked at the man in green clothes. He nodded, then turned his horse's head and left silently.

Sui Jingcheng asked: "Is he a master of martial arts hidden in the army?"

Chen Pingan gently pinched the horse's belly, and rode forward slowly, one by one. He shook his head and said: "It didn't take long for him to reach the third realm. It should be the realm he got through fighting on the battlefield. It's amazing."

Sui Jingcheng was a little confused.

Because for a swordsman who casually beheaded Xiao Shuye, how could a border soldier who was no more than a martial artist deserve to be called "very remarkable"?

Chen Ping'an said: "Probably most of all the people on the mountaintops in the world have come here step by step."

The two horses rode side by side. Because they were not in a hurry, the horses' hooves were light and not hurried. Sui Jingcheng asked curiously: "What about the remaining people?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Good luck."

Sui Jingcheng was speechless.

Chen Pingan said: "There are some things that you didn't have when you were born, and you may not have them in this life. There is nothing you can do about it, you have to accept your fate."

After a moment, Chen Pingan smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter. There are still many things that we can win by ourselves. If we keep staring at the things that are destined to be nothing, we will really have nothing."

Sui Jingcheng thought it made sense.

But when she thought about her life situation, she felt a little guilty.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Isn't it a better thing to be born with it? There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Sui Jingcheng probably felt that he had benefited a lot. He was silent for a moment, turned around and said with a smile: "Senior, can you just let me say a few words from the bottom of my heart?"

Chen Pingan said: "Shut up."

After the power fence, Sui Jingcheng's eyes were filled with resentment and he pursed his lips.

The two riders continued their journey north.

I have seen the brutal fight when they met on a narrow road, and later I also saw the beautiful scene of children running after yellow butterflies and flying into cauliflower to find nowhere.

There was also the noise of a group of country children chasing their two mounted figures.

On the top of a famous mountain peak, they accidentally met a Taoist monk in the sunset on the top of the mountain. He was hovering in the wind near an ancient pine tree with a knotted posture on the cliff, spreading out rice paper and slowly painting. When he saw them, he just smiled and nodded, and then the master of painting on the mountain went to work on painting the ancient pine trees, and finally left quietly in the night.

Sui Jingcheng raised his eyes and looked at the retreating figure of the qi practitioner.

Chen Pingan started to walk away.

After Sui Jingcheng looked away, he asked cautiously: "Senior, if I have cultivated the immortal method and encounter that kind of border fighting, can I save people if I want to?"

Chen Pingan said: "Of course you can. But you have to think about whether you can bear the consequences that you can't imagine. For example, the scout was rescued by you and fled back to Wuling Kingdom, and the intelligence and military information was successfully handed over to the frontier general. , it may be shelved and useless, it may be a provocation on the border, and hundreds of thousands more people will die, or it may even affect the whole body, and the two countries will fight, the lives will be devastated, and eventually thousands of miles away will starve to death, and the victims will be everywhere."

Sui Jingcheng was silent.

Chen Ping'an kept walking and said slowly: "So people who practice Taoism are not stained by the world of mortals and stay away from the world. They are not all indifferent and hard-hearted. It doesn't matter if you don't understand this for the time being. I also try to change it after I have truly practiced cultivation. A kind of vision, looking at the world at the foot of the mountain, I slowly figured it out. Did you forget that I reviewed the town on the top of the mountain with you earlier? In that chess game, who do you think should be rescued? Who should be helped? That Lin Shu, who was foolishly loyal to the former emperor? Or the scholar who had already planned a way out for himself? Or those young people who died in vain in the Zhengrongmen lobby? It seems that the last kind of people should be saved the most. Have you ever thought about saving it? After getting rid of them, what will happen to Lin Shu? What will happen to the scholar's great cause of restoring the country? A little further, between the emperor of Jinfei Kingdom and the previous emperor, regardless of whether they are good or bad, who has made more contributions to the common people of a country, do you want to To know? What should we do with those people in the world who know the truth and are still willing to die generously for the former prince? Are you happy to be a good person, with high spirits and a sword like a rainbow? "

Sui Jingcheng nodded lightly and sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff. The breeze blew on her face. She picked off the power fence, and the blue hair on her forehead and hair on her temples swayed unsteadily.

Chen Ping'an came to her side, but did not sit down. "Being a good person is not what I think, and doing good deeds is not what I think. So, there is nothing wrong with being a cultivator. You can see more and further."

Chen Pingan took out the hiking stick that had not been seen for a long time, held it with both hands, and shook it slightly, "But when there are more people who practice Taoism, there will be some trouble, because there will be more and more strong people pursuing absolute freedom. . And even if these people only make one or two slight moves, it will be an earth-shaking movement for the human world. Sui Jingcheng, let me ask you, will a stool or chair shake if you sit on it for a long time? "

Sui Jingcheng thought for a while, "It should... definitely be possible, right?"

Chen Pingan turned around and said, "Have you never seen a rocking chair in your life?"

Sui Jingcheng said nothing and blinked, looking a little innocent.

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Have you never seen it before?"

Sui Jingcheng was a little shy.

The Sui family is one of the most wealthy families in the Wuling Kingdom.

Chen Pingan rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "How can I continue talking about this?"

So he put away his hiking pole and continued walking.

Sui Jingcheng was a little disappointed, but also a little happy for no reason.

She couldn't understand it herself, but what did it matter.

Anyway, it was still far away from the Fairy Ferry in Green Ying Kingdom, and they were not walking fast.

She suddenly turned around and asked with a smile: "Senior, I want to drink!"

The man said: "If you spend money to buy it, you can discuss it, otherwise there is no need to discuss it."

She smiled and said, "No matter how expensive it is, I'll buy it!"

As a result, the man shook his head and said: "At first glance, it looks like you owe money on credit, so don't talk about it."

Sui Jingcheng sighed and fell to the ground. The stars in the sky were like the most beautiful treasure inlay, hanging above the lights of thousands of houses in the world.
