Sword of Coming

A tall young man, together with a beautiful woman, entered the Longzhou territory of the Great Li Dynasty, the land of geomantic omen after the Lizhu Cave was broken and took root in the past.

There are many stories of mountains and rivers here, and it is also a first-class practice site in Aquarius Island.

It's just that all the landscape and human affairs seem to be covered with mountains and rivers, making it hard to see clearly.

When the two went all the way to Huaihuang County along the Tiefu River, they passed by a water god empress shrine temple full of incense. Due to their identities and cultivation roots, the two dared not enter the door to burn incense. When they finally saw the east gate of the county , The young man felt relieved and said with emotion: "It's finally here. Miss Ma, shall we visit Mr. Chen's mountain first, or go to Gu Can's house in Zhoucheng as a guest? Luopo Mountain may be harder to find, and Zhoucheng is relatively easier to find the way. "

This couple's trip northward to Longzhou was not easy. The main reason was that Gu Can suddenly asked them to go northward by themselves. He and that weird scholar named Liu Chicheng were going to the Xu family in Qingfeng City. The cowardly Zeng Ye was very disturbed. In the early years, he was dragged out of the big fire pit on Maoyue Island by Zhang Di, the manager of Qingxia Island, and brought to the hut at the entrance of the mountain. When he saw the accountant, Zeng Ye's life changed Ushered in earth-shaking changes, and later met Gu Can, from fear to intimacy, to today's dependence, in fact, it only took a few years, for those who like to meditate, it seems like a snap of the fingers.

I don't know when, Zeng Ye, who was going to have nightmares just by looking at it casually by Gu Can, is now without Gu Can by his side, and instead feels uncomfortable everywhere, wandering around the mountains and rivers, making every step unsteady.

In fact, Zeng Ye, who was born suitable for the practice of ghosts, has broken through the realms in these years without slowing down, and it can even be said to be extremely fast. It is only because he has Gu Can by his side that he is not conspicuous.

Zeng Ye is now a veritable sea-observing Qi practitioner, and he can be regarded as a "Master of the Five Realms" in the rivers, lakes and mountains of ordinary small countries.

Because he has practiced heresy techniques and has a heavy yin energy, Zeng Ye, during his trip to the north, when Gu Can was with him, was able to get close to those mountain and water temples and fairy family hills. When he parted ways with Gu Can, he didn't have the courage Besides, Ma Duyi beside her is even more ghostly. She can walk in the world only by relying on that fox fur talisman. Treacherous filth exists.

Ma Duyi hung a jade tablet around her waist, it was the Peace and Peace card that Gu Can left them as a talisman, she thought about it, and said with a smile: "Let's go to Luopo Mountain first, we are so familiar with Mr. Chen, we should not be rejected, Even if Mr. Chen is not there, it's not difficult to ask for a cup of tea with someone, right?"

Zeng Ye grinned and said, "Okay, I think so too."

There are always some people who feel more at ease when they think about it.

After passing through Huaihuang County, I asked the local people for directions, but I couldn’t understand the language. I talked with ducks. I finally found a shopkeeper who could speak Dali Mandarin, but the shopkeeper couldn’t tell the exact address of Luoluoshan clearly. In general, after passing the small town, first find the Pearl Mountain, just a small hill, and then find a chance to ask the mountain gods for directions.

Entering the continuous mountains full of aura, the two of them searched hard, only to find the Huimeng Mountain, which is the vassal land of Luopo Mountain. The mountain gate is not too far away, but Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi saw an unimaginable scene. First, they saw a little girl in black with her back to them, looking up at the high cliff where the sea of ​​clouds hovered like a snow-white belt. Carrying a small golden pole on one shoulder, and a green bamboo walking stick on the other, he shouted loudly: "Pei Qian, Pei Qian, don't jump wrong this time, it's very troublesome to fill the hole."

Zeng Ye glanced around the little girl, the ground was full of potholes.

The green bamboo walking stick on the little girl's shoulder is very familiar!

The little girl in black suddenly turned her head, looked at the two foreigners who had stopped in the distance, and fled away with lightning speed.

Zeng Ye suddenly looked up.

A black speck broke through the sea of ​​clouds, and with a howling sound, it fell suddenly. In an instant, a thin and thin figure who was not tall hit the ground heavily. There was a loud noise, the earth trembled, and dust flew up.

Zeng Ye concentrated and stared into the distance.

In the middle of the big pit, there was a girl with dark skin and a thin body, squatting on her knees, slowly got up, turned her head to look at the little girl in black who was squatting on the edge of the big pit with her head in her arms, and complained: "Little girl!" Mi Li, what's going on, if I hadn't been sharp-eyed and changed the route to the ground, you would have fallen into the pit, what would you do if you were hurt, didn't you want you to stay where you are..."

Between the words, the girl with shocking behavior seemed to take a few casual steps, walked up to the little girl, and then intentionally or unintentionally, blocked between Zhou Mili and the two strangers.

Ma Duyi found a pair of sloppily woven straw sandals on the girl's feet, with blood flowing.

Ma Duyi couldn't help but glanced at the cliff, and then at the girl.

Is this committing suicide by jumping off a cliff, or is it just a joke?

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were not pure warriors after all, and they didn't know many subtleties of the girl jumping off the cliff and "smashing the ground".

Ask punch!

The girl is fighting with the earth with her body.

It is necessary to restrain all the fists that seem to be protected by the gods, and "deliver the heaviest punch" from the sky to the world with pure flesh and with the help of the falling force.

In the words of the girl, it is to give the cerebellum on the ground a hard blow!

This is the girl's own way to practice boxing. Of course Nuanshu disagrees and thinks it is too dangerous. Pei Qian is only at the fifth realm and his physical body is not strong enough. Xiaomi Li thinks it is feasible, two on one, so he can do it. Chen Nuanshu wanted to ask the old cook, but Pei Qian stepped on the six green bricks on the ground outside the bamboo building, walked six steps to clear the way, jumped up, and disappeared.

Zhou Mili was lying on the edge of the cliff with his butt stuck out. Chen Nuanshu was extremely anxious. The old cook had appeared on the edge of the cliff unknowingly. He glanced at the ground and clicked his tongue.

Chen Nuanshu breathed a sigh of relief, it looked like nothing was going to happen.

Later, Pei Qian quickly climbed up the cliff, then limped, his eyes sparkling, and he laughed and said: "It's so good!"

Zhu Lian didn't say anything, turned around and left.

As a result, there were many big pits on the ground.

Zhou Mili quietly made a pricking gesture towards Pei Qian, and scolded Chen Nuanshu, who was rarely angry.

Hence the scene that Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi saw today.

If this is Luo Luo Shan's way of hospitality, it would be considered unique.

Pei Qian took a few more glances at the two strangers who had come from afar and asked, "Is the abacus sound coming from the left or the right?"

Zeng Tie was at a loss.

Ma Duyi replied: "Facing the mountain gate, the accounting room on the left."

Pei Qian then smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The founding disciple of Luolu Mountain, Pei Qian has met fellow Taoist Zeng and Sister Ma!"

Ma Duyi felt sad in her heart, what a clever girl. Better eyesight! You must know that Gu Can said in private that Liu Chicheng used a cover-up trick on both of them to help cover up the aura of evil spirits. However, Gu Can also said that this matter did not need to be revealed to Zeng Ye. When traveling abroad, Zeng Ye had to be careful when walking. That's it. Ma Duyi laughed and cursed at that time, was he worried that I would cause trouble by wandering around, right? Gu Can smiled and said nothing, and just handed over the priceless peace and quiet card.

Only then did Ma Duyi stop arguing with Gu Can. In fact, in the final analysis, Gu Can should think more and become more mature. Sometimes when I get along with Zeng Ye and Gu Can is not around, I will also sigh that Gu Can learns things too quickly. No matter what he is learning, there is no need to say much about practice. The Mandarin dialects of various places are spoken in various places, and he rides horses with the heroes he meets by chance. Traveling around, chatting happily with officials and officials out for spring, and chatting with woodcutters in the countryside and ordinary people in the market. It seemed that Gu Can was able to follow the locals everywhere, and he easily opened up a lot of distance between Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye.

At this moment, Zhou Mili was standing next to Pei Qian, tilting his head and frowning. Then he pretended to be enlightened and nodded slightly, pretending that he was used to the world and understood everything.

Since we were entertaining guests, it was not easy to take the cliff route home, so Pei Qian took the two guests to take a detour to the mountain gate.

Of course, I didn’t forget to introduce the millet grains of Luoluo Shanyou Dharma Protector.

Zhou Mili reminded in a low voice: "It's the right protector of Luolu Mountain. I used to be the right protector of Qilongxiang, but now I have given up to you..."

Pei Qian coughed.

Zhou Mili immediately shut up, stood on tiptoes, stretched out his palms to cover his mouth, "Don't keep accounts, don't keep accounts, I haven't said anything yet."

Pei Qian rubbed her little head and said nothing. What account. Xiaomili and Nuanshu actually only have credit books, and they don't have such small ledgers at all. It's just that you can't talk about this kind of thing, otherwise the millet grains will easily become swollen.

After hearing this, Ma Duyi's expression remained as usual. In fact, he was stunned for a long time. Zeng Ye was fine on the contrary. Mr. Chen always viewed human affairs in the world calmly as long as it did not interfere with the principles.

When we arrived at the mountain gate, Zheng Dafeng was no longer there.

Now the young man Yuan Lai is staying there temporarily and is responsible for guarding the gate.

Cen Yuanji just happened to practice boxing from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Now he is a martial artist in the fourth realm, but the bottleneck of the three realms is broken a little staggeringly. It is good but not very good. The old cook said it is very good, but Cen Yuanji himself is not satisfied. No matter how good the relationship between Yuan Bao and Yuan Bao is, both of them are pure martial artists, so there will definitely be competition. This is often the case with women. No matter how good the relationship is, there will be little competition hidden between the cute eyebrows and beautiful smiles. These are just human beings. The common feeling is actually more graceful and touching than the man's competitiveness.

What's more, the master of Yuanbao Yuanlai's sister and brother is Lu Baixiang, and Cen Yuanji has always regarded Mr. Zhu as his preaching teacher. Mr. Zhu and Lu Baixiang seem to be of the same generation in Luolu Mountain, and there is no dispute between the two seniors. What, she and Yuan Bao, as their disciples, still have to compete.

Yuan Lai, a young man in green shirt, was taking advantage of his sister's absence to sit under the wall and read a book. When Cen Yuanji walked six steps to the foot of the mountain, he stopped reading and looked at Miss Cen.

Before Uncle Zheng traveled far away, he left a lot of books for Yuan Lai in the study room of the house, and told the young man earnestly that when he got older, he could go to the old cook's private library, where the books would be great for learning. . The young man was fascinated.

Seeing Pei Qian and his party, the young man had no choice but to pull his mind out of Miss Cen's beautiful eyes and quickly walked towards the mountain gate archway. After listening to Pei Qian's introduction, he asked the two young mountain masters It was an old acquaintance from out of town who bowed and saluted. The young man suddenly realized that this was the etiquette of scholars. If his sister found out, he would be scolded. Yuan Lai quickly clasped his fists and smiled.

After Cen Yuanji said hello, he continued to practice boxing and mountain climbing alone.

Mr. Zhu once warned that if you walk the right path, you can make up for your weakness with diligence. You can't practice boxing to death. If you want to improve your body in boxing, you must find a source of flowing water in boxing. This is the so-called martial arts practice boxing to climb , make up your mind first. In the end, Mr. Zhu asked Cen Yuanji to think about what he was looking for in practicing boxing. If he figured it out, practicing boxing would no longer be a hard job.

On the mountain, Pei Qian found that the old cook was not at home.

Fortunately, with Chen Nuanshu, there is no need to worry about neglecting the two guests.

As long as you are a guest of Luoba Mountain, there is no distinction of status.

Zhu Lian went to the Sword Worship Platform.

Sword repair Cui Wei, young Zhang Jiazhen and Jiang Qu all live here now.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Wei Bo climbed slowly together with Zhu Lian who was summoned temporarily by him.

Wei Bo laughed and said, "Fortunately, it's not Master Ruan who is in charge of the Longquan Sword Sect, but Miss Xiuxiu, otherwise even I might not be able to cover everything up."

Zhu Lian's expression was not relaxed, "The identity of the woman has been confirmed?"

Wei Bo nodded and said, "It was the woman on the ferry that Chen Pingan asked us to look for, to take the ferry boat to Chunshui."

After the cross-continental ferry crashed in the territory of the Zhuying dynasty, she survived by chance. She changed her name to Shiqiu, and on a hilltop of a fairy family, she exposed the collusion between Xieshi, the king of heaven, and the Dali Song family through the mirror, and blamed Zhu Ying. Ying Dynasty.

Regarding this matter, Emperor Dali’s imperial study had actually discussed it specifically. If it wasn’t for the national teacher Cui Chan who felt that this was a leak, the so-called incident would not matter at all, or Cui Chan hoped to use this matter to seduce the big fish to bite the bait Otherwise, even if the maidservant on the ferry was quietly taken away, with Dali's spies intertwined into a web, a female monk in the lower five realms, even if an expert rescued her, she would still die.

Zhu Lian asked, "It's very troublesome."

Wei Bo laughed and said, "Of course, I can call you here if you don't bother me? This kind of thing seems to be big or small, but it is the most taboo after all."

Zhu Lian said: "It's not too much trouble, I just need to make sure of one thing."

Wei Bo nodded, "As long as you know what's going on in your mind, I have a bad reputation anyway, so I'm not afraid of this."

Zhu Lian shook his head and said, "It's not so easy, it's fine, I know the way, I just walk by myself, when you go back to Piyun Mountain, just pretend you don't know anything."

Wei Bo frowned.

Zhu Lian said: "If you want long-term love, don't waste it. Brother Wei, our friends are friends, and things are things. Since we are friends, there are some things that shouldn't involve you."

Wei Bo laughed and said, "Then I'll keep an eye on the surroundings of the Sword Worshiping Platform. If there is any disturbance, we can discuss and come up with a regulation."

Zhu Lian nodded.

Friends are kind, and they can be kind in return.

This is the morality of the rivers and lakes.

Wei Bo, who "detained" the group of people from the edge of Beiyue to the Sword Worship Platform earlier, disappeared.

Zhu Lian saw a group of travel-worn people.

Cui Wei, the Golden Elixir Bottleneck of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, sword repairer Cui Wei, was confused, just guarding the group of people who appeared on the top of the mountain inexplicably.

A young man whose surname is Dugu, Meng Long, a maidservant, and a woman named Shi Qiu.

After Zhu Lian arrived, he nodded with Cui Wei, and the latter left with his sword.

Zhu Lian looked at the woman whose real name was Chunshui, and asked, "Miss Chunshui, I just have two questions, please tell me frankly."

Meng Long, the maidservant, looked displeased.

The pale young master had a calm expression on his face.

Chun Shui nodded.

Zhu Lian looked kindly, and asked with a smile: "First, Miss Chunshui wanted to find my young master herself? Second, when did she come up with such an idea? After the ferry crashed, she wanted to find the only person she could trust in a foreign land , or is it a last resort now that there is no way out?"

Chun Shui's eyes were clear, and he said: "I never thought of looking for Chen Pingan before, but now I regret it because I got Mr. Dugu to be hunted down. I only hope that Mr. Dugu can live, and Chen Pingan can hand me over to Dali dynasty."

Chun Shui paused for a moment, smiling sincerely, "It may be childish, but it's the truth."

Zhu Lian nodded and said with a smile, "I can trust Miss Chunshui."

Then the crooked old man turned his head with a smile, "The Zhuying Dynasty is a nobleman in exile, right?"

Young Master Dugu nodded and said: "That's true, I dare not deceive seniors. My real name is Dugu Duanshun, and now I am aliased as Shao Poxian. I really don't want to die for the time being, so I came up with this bad plan to blackmail Miss Shiqiu with my kindness and bring me back I have come here to seek refuge in the Lost Mountain."

Zhu Lian asked: "Do you feel that you will be able to survive in Luopo Mountain, or do you go to the doctor in a hurry?"

Young Master Dugu said, "The latter."

The three of them fled this way, and went through two interceptions, one was an unexpected encounter on a narrow road, and the other was Dali's monks who followed the army and came prepared.

Zhu Lian smiled, "What kindness do you have for Miss Chunshui? Tell me, I'm just in charge of trivial matters on Luoluo Mountain. I don't have much reading and little knowledge. I really need to ask Mr. Dugu for advice."

The loneliness is smooth and dumb.

The reason why he took the risk to rescue "Shi Qiu" was of course not purely motivated, and it was definitely not some kind of chivalrous act.

The servant girl Meng Long had a miserable face.

How could my son be reduced to such a field?

Zhu Lian was silent for a moment, and asked, "Where did the last fight take place?"

Dugu Duanshun said: "Nanjian Kingdom is very far away from Dali Longzhou. The reason why it was intercepted and killed was because some of the monks in Dali army held the jade seal of the Zhuying dynasty and could follow the clues to find me. After the fight, I pretended to go south, interrupted the dragon veins in the small world of the human body, and then quietly went north, so I should not be followed by Da Li."

The words of young people can be described as concise.

As for the extreme danger and the price paid, it is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Zhu Lian asked: "Shao Poxian, would you rather linger on a three-acre land, or die generously for the country?"

Dugu Duanshun smiled and said: "Senior, this question is unnecessary."

Zhu Lian nodded, looked at the bleak Beiju Luzhou female monk, and said with a smile: "Miss Chunshui, do you know that what I did would cause my young master a big problem?"

Chun Shui was about to speak.

Zhu Lian already smiled and said: "What do you think? I said it before. I have a good memory. I know it after hearing it. So I'm just telling the truth now."

Chun Shui nodded, bit her lips tightly, blood oozing out.

She hid one hand in her sleeve, clenched tightly, her arm trembling slightly.

Apart from repaying the life-saving grace with the lonely son, she actually has selfish motives.

She hoped to be able to send something to Luoluo Mountain. After that, even if Luoposhan takes credit for her and Dali Song, it doesn't matter.

Zhu Lian laughed and looked around.

There are many wild persimmon trees in the Sword Worshiping Terrace. When winter comes, they hang on the high branches one by one, and they are red and lovely.

In the hometown of Ouhua Fudi, persimmon has another name, very unique, Lingshuanghou.

Zhu Lian finally said to the dazed young woman: "If my young master is here, he will be very happy to meet Miss Chunshui again after a long absence."

After Zhu Lian finished speaking, he left the Sword Worshiping Platform.

The maidservant Meng Long asked softly: "My lord, this is?"

Lonely smiled and said openly: "It's not bad to live under the fence and ask for food."

After Zhu Lian stepped down from the sword worship platform, Wei Bo appeared.

Zhu Lian laughed angrily: "Is there such a big tiger like you who has made a lot of trouble?"

Wei Bo laughed and said, "Anyway, I'm too busy."

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Lian said slowly, "That girl 'Shi Qiu' must be saved. As for the other two, they just need to figure out one thing."

Wei Bo said: "That is whoever told him that if he came to this unrecognized desolate mountain, he would be able to live."

Zhu Lian was shocked and said: "Brother Wei, great advice!"

Wei Bo responded with a polite smile.

Zhu Lian scratched his head, smiled and said, "That's fine, I can find something to do, I can't always be a cook wearing an apron, and people dislike me every day. It's time for us to take the initiative to solve it in Luoba Mountain. It's time for trouble. Otherwise, there will only be more and more unnecessary troubles."

Zhu Lian sneered and said, "Pick up soft persimmons?"

Wei Bo smiled knowingly.

It seems that the matter of Yuye River Water Goddess has not calmed down.

Wei Bo looked towards Luopo Mountain, and said, "Coincidentally, there is another guest at the door."

The two disappeared out of thin air together and appeared on Luoluo Mountain.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi saw the fairy man who was facing the wind in the jade tree.

As for the kind-hearted old gentleman beside him, he is really compared to others, far inferior to the handsome man with the gold ring in his ear, so that people can't take their eyes off him.

Chen Nuanshu got up quickly, and introduced Zhu Lian and Wei Bo to the two of them, Mr. Zhu, the steward of Lupo Mountain, and Mr. Wei, the king of Beiyue Mountain.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were scared to death.

Today, the great mountain kings of one continent and five mountains, among them, Wei Bo has the highest realm and the greatest reputation!

Pei Qian reminded: "Old cook, it's time to eat, and you have to show off your unique skills."

Mi Li wiped her mouth, "You must."

Zhu Lian called out softly, and immediately went to the kitchen in the backyard to get busy.

It seems that the small kitchen is Zhu Lian's small world.

Wei Bo felt helpless.

Compared with Jiang Shangzhen, he can rely on his face to eat more, and he insists on being a cook.

At the new year's shop in Qilong Lane, old friends also reunited.

Dong Shuijing, Lin Shouyi.

There was also the little girl who was worried that the nickname "Little Stone" would spread. After moving to Dali Capital with her family, she is now married.

Shi Jiachun.

Li Baoping was once the best friend.

The New Year's Eve Shop in Qilong Lane and the Caotou Shop next door were once Shi Jiachun's ancestral business.

And Shi Chunjia and Shi Lingshan, who was born in Taoye Lane, are also somewhat related, but Shi Chunjia's seniority is higher, and if they really want to meet, they have to call her aunt.

The world is unpredictable, the classmates and friends back then were separated from each other in the town and scattered in all directions. After more than ten years, they already have completely different identities.

Now Shi Jiachun is happy to be a husband and a child. The husband is a son of a family, surnamed Bian and named Wenmao. The family has no relationship with the Danqing master whose paintings can be placed in the imperial study. The family of Bian Wenmao has lived in the capital of Dali for several years A hundred years ago, the ancestors belonged to the wealthy family of the Lu family, probably because of the long ancestral shade, and the trees moved the dead and the living. The families that took root in Dali are not considered prominent in officialdom, but most of them are very noble, and there are many family members. , are all well-known scholars in the Dali literary world in their early years.

There is also the family name enshrining of the gods on the mountain, which is even more impressive. One is the elder of the Patriarch Hall of the Changchun Palace, and the other is unlucky. I don't know why I had a conflict with the saint Ruan Qiong, and it didn't end well, but I managed to save my life, and I was luckier than another fellow Taoist who died directly.

The reason for this meeting was that Dong Shuijing once went to Dali Capital to do business and went to find Shi Jiachun. Shi Jiachun wanted to make an appointment with his former classmates and friends to gather together in his hometown Huaihuang Town.

It's just that Li Baoping traveled south this time and missed it.

So Shi Jiachun is currently complaining about Aquarius.

A group of people sat in the backyard of the shop to catch up on the old days. The shopkeeper Shi Rou moved the tables and stools, brought tea and pastries, and left quickly.

Dong Shuijing listened to Shi Jiachun's chatter, and said with a smile: "Aquarius doesn't even sell your face, it really shouldn't be."

Lin Shou nodded, "Let Li Huai tell her to go later."

Shi Jiachun rolled his eyes and said: "Li Huai? Pull it down, you have the guts the size of a needle eye, how dare you kick your ass in front of my vase?"

Suddenly realizing that her husband was still sitting beside her, Shi Jiachun quickly sat down and calmed down.

Bian Wenmao is a suave and suave student who was given a very good name by his elders. Now he is compiling history books in the Imperial Academy. The literary world in Lijing City has a firm foothold, and is still working in the Imperial Academy, which is known as the "Place of Prime Ministers". Once it is released, the official position will not be small in the future.

That is to say, he came to Huaihuang County, where the two surnames of Cao and Yuan were contested. When he went to other places, Bian Wenmao was always a first-class guest in the yamen.

Bian Wenmao's impression of these two young men is that one is very average and the other is not bad.

Very ordinary, it was Dong Shuijing who was born as a merchant.

The one who made do was Lin Shouyi who was studying at Da Sui Shanya Academy.

As for the family background of the two, Shi Jiachun roughly mentioned it, all of which were casual words. Dong Shuijing's family background is not very good, but he started his career early. As for the matter of starting a family, there is some uncertainty.

Lin Shouyi's father worked successively under three dragon kiln supervisors. It is said that he is also working in Dali Capital now, but he has little contact with the Shi family. Shouyi, if he can study in Shanya Academy, he should not be too bad in the officialdom of Dali in the future.

Li Huai rushed into the backyard in a hurry, "Okay, little Shitou, the sheep's horn girl, you haven't seen each other for so many years, and you will speak ill of me when you meet?"

Shi Jiachun turned his head and was stunned for a long time. Li Huai, who had a thick head and a tiger head, why did he suddenly grow into a tall young man?

Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing, the former hasn't changed much, he has always had the same appearance and virtue, and Dong Shuijing is also fine, but Li Huai has nothing to do with the impression he had when he was a child.

For example, when Li Baoping threw his underpants on a tree, Li Huai rolled all over the floor and cried, just to get Mr. Qi to come.

Shi Jiachun stood up and joked, "Li Huai? Haven't you eaten less all these years?"

Bian Wenmao got up slowly, smiled and said nothing.

Li Huai is a classmate whose wife talks a lot. He speaks without taboo and said a lot of embarrassing things, so he is also the one that Bian Wenmao is least interested in. At first glance, he looks like an elm lump who doesn't know how to study. Even if this kind of person gave him a few steps, he would not be able to stand in the cliff academy, and sooner or later he would retreat to the bottom of the steps. That Dong Shuijing had some skills at least, and there was some vague gossip that said that this person had attached himself to Cao Duzao and Yuan Junshou at the same time. If this was the case, the business should not be too small.

Li Huai first greeted Wen Mao over there. He obviously didn't like him very much, polite and distant, but he couldn't let his good friend Shi Jiachun get off the stage, he had to have a smiling face.

Going to sit opposite Shi Jiachun, Li Huai grabbed a piece of pastry and said vaguely: "Before Aquarius left, she said that she would go to the capital to find you before she returned to the academy."

Shi Jiachun smiled and said, "It's kind of a conscience."

Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing sat opposite each other. In fact, the two had always had a good relationship, but Shi Jiachun thought it was fun because of the thimble.

Shi Jiachun didn't think that Lin Shouyi's background was better, he was still a scholar, so Li Liu would definitely like Lin Shouyi.

Shi Jiachun always felt that Li Liu, who often went to school to pick up his younger brother from school, felt strange, but it was not so strange. Logically speaking, Li Liu was older and already a girl, and everyone she saw was weak and weak. The Zhigui next to Song Jixin in Niping Lane, the two have completely different temperaments, and they are both beauties, but Shi Jiachun feels that they really need to get along with each other. The maid Zhigui who doesn't have a smiling face may not be as good as Li Liu Difficult to deal with.

Bian Wenmao still had a social gathering with friends in Zhoucheng, but his wife seldom left Beijing to return home, and they were all her childhood friends, so this Tanhualang kept his temper and didn't show any emotions.

Shi Jiachun was considerate, stayed in the New Year's shop for about half an hour, then got up and left, and went to Zhoucheng, there was a horse-drawn carriage of my husband's friend waiting on the side of Qilong Lane.

Li Huai and the others sent them to the door of the shop together, just as Yu Lu and Xie Xie also descended from Linlu Academy to Qilong Lane, planning to go to Luopo Mountain together.

Previously, Li Huai went there alone, and returned to Piyunshan Academy, and kept repeating about losing and losing.

Bian Wenmao didn't pay too much attention, and bid farewell to everyone politely, helped his wife into the carriage, and finally bowed to say goodbye.

After watching the carriage go away, everyone continued to chat in the backyard of the shop. Li Huai held the back of his head with both hands, "This Bian Wenmao, I have a lot of airs in my heart."

Lin Shouyi said indifferently: "Shi Jiachun is looking for a husband, Bian Wenmao really likes her and that's it. Shi Jiachun is not looking for a friend for us to get along with."

Dong Shuijing nodded.

Li Huai pouted, "I just think Shi Jiachun can find a better one."

Lin Shou shook his head, "There's no reason."

Li Huai was suddenly worried, "Is it okay for Bao Ping to walk alone in the rivers and lakes? She is not a practitioner either."

Lin Shou thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out the mystery.

Yu Lu and Xie Xie also have similar attitudes.

The only one kept in the dark is probably Li Huai who is unlucky when he goes out and depends on whether there is dog poop on the ground.

Before Lin Shouyi went to Luopo Mountain, he asked Li Huai and the others to wait a while, and went to the ancestral house, sweeping the courtyard and the ancestral hall. The young scholar, alone, recited the family motto in his heart.

Finally, after burning three sticks of incense, he murmured, "Thanks to the sages."

Li Huai was in a hurry, and said that he was going to Zhenzhu Mountain to wait.

When they arrived at the hill not too far away from their ancestral home, Pei Qian and Zhou Mili had already been waiting there.

Pei Qian said: "The defeated general!"

Li Huai quickly said: "Although defeat is glorious, I dare not speak bravely!"

Pei Qian nodded and went on the road.

Pei Qian asked, "Where are the two fellows who are at the helm?"

Li Huai said guiltily: "Those two articles were written wrongly, and the master scolded them bloody, and they are currently chewing on the pen."

Pei Qian shook his head, then pointed to the millet beside him: "Zhou Mili, from now on, he will be the co-pilot of our sub-rudder."

Zhou Mili was stunned on the spot, overjoyed! Now I have a lot of official titles!

Li Huai was overjoyed.

Originally, there were only three people at the helm, but now it finally looks like a strong army.

After that, everyone went to Luopo Mountain in a mighty way.

When he arrived at the mountain, Yu Lu stopped at the entrance of the mountain, saying that he would climb the mountain later and chat with the young man Yuan Lai who was watching the door and flipping through the books.

Xie Xie also wandered alone, and met Cen Yuanji, who was walking and practicing boxing, and Yuan Bao, a girl who was standing on the side, at the temple on the top of the mountain.

Thank you Some look in a trance.

It's like seeing myself who practiced Taoism on the mountain carefree in my early years.

After that, after the old cook and Wei Bo nodded, Pei Qian took the millet grains and went to the blessed land of lotus roots. Together, they walked along the road they had traveled before, trekking through mountains and rivers, and arrived at the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom.

Passing Zhuangyuan Lane, went to the temple to burn incense, and then sat in a daze on the side of the corridor.

Zhou Mili just stayed with Pei Qian anyway, when Pei Qian was happy, Xiaomi would talk more, and when Pei Qian was not happy, she would keep silent.

In the end, Pei Qian chose a private house, which she secretly bought with money. In fact, the old cook knew it too, and turned a blind eye to her.

That place is the secluded mansion where Ding Ying, the great devil in the past, took Ya'er and Zhou Shi, the hairpin of Chunchao Palace, to stay together.

Pei Qian sat cross-legged over there, rolled up his sleeves like his master, and began to close his eyes and rest his mind, warming his fist.

The reason for coming here is to break through the barriers of martial arts.

Martial luck in the blessed land of lotus roots, she Pei Qian had to rely on her own ability to get back as much as she could.

And when the time comes, Wei Bo will open the gate of the blessed land, and Pei Qian will also break up all the martial arts won from Haoran Tianxia, ​​still learning from his master, and feed back the lotus root blessed land.

Grandpa Cui just left, so he had to find a way to go home.

Then she will bring the martial arts that Grandpa Cui left behind here to Luopo Mountain.

In the central area of ​​Aquarius Continent, the excavation of an unprecedented sea-ditch has already started, involving more than a dozen rivers and dozens of hilltops with mountain shrines and earth temples.

Even the elders who have lost their country can't help but marvel at this kind of magnanimity. That big barbarian really dares to think what others dare not think, and what a human being can't do.

The Dali court is so laborious and wasteful, and the young emperor is so greedy for meritorious service, is he really afraid that prosperity will be prosperous and death will be sudden? When the time comes, the people from all over the world will suffer?

Just hearing that Guanhu Academy, the well-reputed New Zhongyue Mountain, and the long-established Yunlin Jiang family will participate in it makes people have mixed feelings.

Is it possible that the entire Aquarius Continent will really have the surname Song in the future? Become a place with one family name?

The Dali court dispatched three people from the local area to be responsible for the excavation of Dadu. They were Guan Yiran, the great-great-grandson of the Guan family of Shangzhu Kingdom, Liu Xunmei, the general of Chier Street in the capital, and Liu Qingfeng, the civil servant of Qingluan Kingdom.

Except for the last one who has never heard of it, the officialdom of Dali Capital City is no stranger to Guan Yiran and Liu Xunmei, two young juniors. Firstly, both of them come from high-ranking families, and secondly, they are both handsome figures among the younger generation. , especially Guan Yiran, who threw himself into the pass early on. As a monk in the army, he grew up among the dead. Liu Xunmei is not bad either. She has traveled all the way south, and she is an official who has fought hard.

The Guan family has been in charge of the official department of Dali for too many years, and they are known as the Shangshu adults who are as stable as mountains, and the servants and doctors who are as smooth as water.

Generally speaking, the servants, especially the left servants, who were transferred from other places to serve as the chief officials of a territory, even if they were of the same rank, they were considered relegated.

Therefore, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, there are many jokes circulating in the officialdom of Dali. It is said that there were two big officials who left the capital to serve as officials in Xinjiang.

However, the Great Li Chaotang was extremely unfamiliar with Liu Qingfeng. As a matter of fact, even the official department where Mr. Guan was in town, after looking through the files, they couldn't get acquainted with Liu Qingfeng.

When the vassal Qingluan State reopened water transportation, the official evaluation was average and only received a good grade. Although he had no merit but a little hard work, he was able to take charge of the government and was transferred by the imperial court to a border county as the county guard. I never thought that before my butt was hot, I would immediately need to go north to deal with a large group of unattainable landscape gods and mountain gods. I was promoted from the fourth grade to the third grade. The Dali court granted a temporary appointment as the Dadu Supervisor. , Guan Yiran and Liu Xunmei's rank has not changed, so they seem to have become the deputy of a civil servant in a small vassal country.

However, Liu Qingfeng was not the first person to be suddenly promoted from a vassal official to a high official in the Dali officialdom. The old vassal of the Sui Dynasty belonged to the Huangting Kingdom, and Wei Li, the prefect of a county, jumped several levels and was promoted to the current Dali Longzhou. Among the governors, among the gods of mountains and rivers, it is a strange rumor in official circles that a certain land lord from Hongzhu Town, the confluence of three rivers, was promoted to the city god of a state.

It is said that Wei Liang, the governor of Qingluan Kingdom, is also showing signs of promotion, and some rumors have been revealed from the Li Department of Li.

Qingluan Kingdom, located in the southeast of Aquarius Continent, has inexplicably transformed from a remote place into a geomantic treasure land with prosperous officialdom.

Officials distinguish between muddy and muddy flows. Nowadays, the biggest distinction between pure and muddy flows in Aquarius Continent actually depends on whether one is born in the mainland of Dali.

However, these official changes are nothing compared to the fact that Wei Bo, the land of Qidun Mountain, the remnant god of Shenshui Kingdom, was first promoted to the mountain god of Piyun Mountain, and then followed the trend to become the mountain king of Beiyue, a continent. It is not worth making a fuss about.

The Great Li cavalry has been fighting south for many years, and there are actually more young faces who have become military generals. In addition to the descendants of the generals' families, many of them came from poor and humble backgrounds.

It's just that the Dali frontier army died quickly and was promoted quickly. The people of Dali have long been accustomed to it after more than a hundred years of influence. The system of civil servants and landscape genealogies has always been rigorous, so it is relatively eye-catching when someone suddenly shows up.

Today is the first gathering of the three officials in charge of Dadu excavation. There is no such thing as a banquet, just on the bank of a big river.

Liu Qingfeng, retinue Wang Yifu.

Guan Yiran was confused. This descendant of Shangzhu Kingdom was also confused. According to his grandfather, he was supposed to be in charge of a north-south mountain ferry route. Even his friends arranged it, but he came here on his own. Here, of course, there was a lot of scolding.

Liu Xunmei, accompanied by two guards, Cao Jun and Wei Xian.

Wei Xian followed Cao Jun, the son of the Sword Immortal, whose ancestral home was located in Muping Lane, and Liu Xunmei, who didn't look like a descendant of a noble family at all, and managed to get along quite well.

As a monk accompanying the army, Wei Xian was awarded a military honors officer by virtue of his solid military exploits. Now he has real power, and he and Cao Jun are Liu Xunmei's right-hand man.

It is rumored that Wei Xian has an impression of Cao Ping, the second hunting envoy in Dali.

As for Cao Jun, he is even more famous in the Dali Army.

The three of them each introduced themselves.

In fact, Guan Yiran and Liu Xunmei are close friends.

So the only thing that needs to be known is actually Liu Qingfeng who was born out of nowhere.

Then not far away came a young man in white clothes, riding on the back of a child, holding a branch in his hand, shouting to drive.

Approaching the crowd, the boy laughed loudly and said, "I have a little donkey that never complains of hunger!"

In Qingfeng City, a woman in red led a horse out of the city. In the dark, she walked into a mountain 30 miles away in the suburbs.

In the middle of winter, the road was full of peach blossoms.

Li Baoping led the horse and walked slowly, looking around, the scenery was pleasant.

There are green mountains on all sides, and white clouds are constantly rising from the mountains.

Not far ahead is the destination of this trip to Qingfeng City, which is a thatched hut connected to the firewood gate by the green water.

Li Baoping glanced at the sky, there was a big round jade plate hanging high, it must be the biggest moon cake.

When he thought of this, Li Baoping suddenly laughed.

It seems that I have become the little girl who walked through the green mountains and rivers with my little uncle back then, and my mind is full of these thoughts.

But at that time, there was still a small bamboo box dangling behind her, and she was wearing small straw sandals.

The little girl in the red padded jacket likes to hang around her little teacher and uncle. The mountains are high and the roads are far away, as if no matter how far away they are, they are not afraid.

Li Baoping lowered his head and glanced at the snow-white narrow knife at his waist, and the gourd that raised the sword.

Li Baoping stood there.

A human face with peach blossoms stands in the bright moon.
