Sword comes

Chapter 404

Cui Dongshan casually put down the pair of chopsticks, lowered his head, placed the two chopsticks neatly, raised his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are sure that I will not kill here."

Cui Dongshan clapped his hands and laughed, and got up slowly, "You're right. I really won't let my temper kill me indiscriminately. After all, I have to return to the Cliff Academy. Forget it, descendants have their own blessings. As an old ancestor , I can only help you here.”

Cai Jingshen stretched out his hand to signal Cui Dongshan to sit back, and asked, "How do you prove that your words are effective? It is effective in the Great Sui Dynasty, and it is also effective in the Dali Temple."

Cui Dongshan leaned lazily on the chair, stretched out his hand to play with his bun, and twisted it gently, "It's hard to prove."

Cai Jingshen had no choice but to take a step back, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Then how do you pick Cai Feng out, and it must be the kind that will not cause future troubles and will not affect his future career. Cai Feng defected and betrayed his friends for glory. This will hinder Cai Feng's path to becoming a god after his death. Cai Feng will be related to Sui Guozuo, Wenyun and Fengshui relatives in the next hundred and thousand years. He has done such disgusting things. It is not difficult to be honored in life, but after death, you will be rejected by the incense of the Sui Dynasty."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Shanren has his own ingenious plan, don't worry, I guarantee that Cai Fengsheng's former official will go to six ministers, except the Ministry of Rites, this position is too important, Lao Tzu is not the emperor of Dali, as for after death, he will be a big state within a hundred years Master Chenghuang Pavilion, except for the land of Longxing in Gao's Geyang, how about it?"

Cai Jingshen asked tentatively: "Then my Cai family's decision and reputation?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will let you and the Cai family cooperate in two bitter tricks, and everyone will give you a thumbs up, Cai Jingshen. From now on, history books will definitely be good words."

Cai Jingshen hesitated to speak.

Cui Dongshan sneered and said: "You and I signed a mountain and river covenant with earth immortals, Cai Jingshen, I advise you not to do so."

Cai Jingshen thought of those golden pupils standing upright, and felt terrified in his heart. Although he and the Cai family were slaughtered by others, he felt aggrieved, but compared to the unbearable consequences of dragging the entire family into the abyss because of Cai Feng alone, it would even implicate his family. This old ancestor's practice, the current depression is not unbearable.

Now that it has become a temporary ally.

Cai Jingshen just wanted to express a little sincerity, "Back then, Mr. Cui was assassinated with a gold thread in the academy and escaped with a death talisman. Doesn't Mr. Cui want to know who is behind the scenes or do you think it is actually a group of people? "

Cui Dongshan squinted at Cai Jingshen.

Cai Jingshen felt uncomfortable at the sight, and didn't understand what he said was wrong.

Cui Dongshan stood up, and took a jug of unopened old wine from the table, "I was so bored in the academy that I was about to hang myself on the top of the mountain. It was so hard to wait for such an interesting thing. Look at how I did it after the wait." For a long time, I didn't see them continuing to attack and assassinate me, so I had no choice but to go to Qingxiaodu and stretch my neck. In the end, no one dared to make a move, so I had to move a few big cars to Qingxiaodu Luzhu back to the academy to lay the floor. I will give Xiaoshu money at any price. Why should I be grateful to them for relieving me? In order to deal with the second assassination, I have planned so many countermeasures. To pass the boring time."

Cui Dongshan walked around the table and patted Cai Jingshen on the shoulder, "Xiao Cai, you are still too young to know my temper. After getting along for a long time, you will find that you have recognized a good ancestor. Go to your ancestor's grave when you have time Look, there must be green smoke billowing. If the ancestors of the Cai family entrusted you with a dream recently and thanked me with snot and tears, you can tell them that you don’t need to thank me. Being kind and generous has always been the foundation of my knowledge. "

Cai Jingshen kept a straight face and ignored it.

The yellow ox monster belonging to the field ox has already gone to the "cow pen" to rest.

Wei Xian has been sitting at the wine table where Cui Dongshan and Cai Jingshen are, without saying a word, just drinking.

Wei Xian followed Cui Dongshan to the residence.

After the two sat down, Cui Dongshan drew a thunder pond with the golden flying sword to isolate Cai Jingshen from prying eyes.

Cui Dongshan kicked his boots, sat cross-legged on a chair, and asked with a smile, "Come and help me conclude with a sentence or two."

Wei Xian said slowly: "The high-flying bird dies from delicious food. The deep spring fish dies from fragrant bait."

In Wei Xian's view, Cai Jingshen and his ilk are not worth mentioning.

Under the general trend, the torrent is rolling, even a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal is still a car with the arms of a mantis.

Before entering Zhoucheng, Cui Dongshan showed Wei Xian a lot of spies about the inside story of the Sui Dynasty. The conspiracy of Cai Feng in the capital was a trivial matter compared to the hidden secrets of Cai Jingshen, the old priest of the Gao family.

The Gao clan of the Great Sui Dynasty was able to join hands with the Lu Dynasty to suppress the rise of Dali, which owns the national teacher Cui Chan and the Shanya Academy, and it was delayed for decades.

It's not just as simple as Emperor Gao's vision of the Great Sui Dynasty.

At the beginning, Dali had a branch of the Mo family and the Lu family of the Yin-Yang family who helped build the imitation Baiyujing, Da Sui and the Lu family. Back then, there were also great monks from various schools of thought, hiding behind the scenes and pointing fingers.

Cai Jingshen is a deeply buried and important chess piece.

Don't look at Cai Jingshen's timid performance tonight, the situation is completely in the hands of Cui Dongshan, in fact Cai Jingshen, even when he "resigned in anger" and moved his family out of the capital, it seemed that he couldn't bear the humiliation. It must have been authorized by the elders.

Today, the Great Sui Dynasty and the Great Li have formed a mountain alliance of the highest rank. On the one hand, Donghua Mountain, where the cliff academy is located and where the dragon's royal spirit gathers, and on the other side, the Beiyue Piyun Mountain, the latest dynasty, is used as the place for the mountain alliance to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.It seems that everyone is happy, Da Sui won't have to go head-to-head with Da Li's iron cavalry, and has won a great opportunity to recuperate for more than a hundred years, but he just ceded the subordinates of Huang Tingguo and the Ping Fan, while Da Li was able to preserve his strength and went south with all his strength. The border of Ying Dynasty.

But behind the scenes of living in peace, Da Li Song and Da Sui Gao naturally have their own thoughts.

Especially after the death of Great Li Emperor Song Zhengchun, even though the Great Li Center kept it secret, I believe that the Great Sui side might have already noticed it, so they were ready to move.

Although the Dali Iron Cavalry is powerful now, covering half of the Aquarius Continent, it is just not stable. Once the backyard of Dali and Dasui catches fire at the same time, and the Guanhu Academy and Zhuying Dynasty suddenly exert their strength, Dali's situation will be greatly reduced. It seems that the chess game with a good situation will be slaughtered by the dragon in an instant, and the entire northern territory will be trampled and crushed by the big Li cavalry. In the eyes of the behind-the-scenes boss who won the victory, there are pieces of big fat that can be justifiably put in his mouth. Meat.

Cui Dongshan's trip, and Wei Xian's frank confession, had no purpose, and it varies from time to time. Whether it is a solicitation, suppression, or as a bait, it just depends on how Cai Jingshen responds.

Wei Xian didn't dare to say that Cui Dongshan would definitely win against those behind-the-scenes figures on top of the mountain.

But a Cai Jingshen is definitely not a problem, he will only be played and applauded by Cui Dongshan.

That's why Wei Xian has the saying that birds and fish are greedy for bait.

Cui Dongshan shook his head, Cui Dongshan extended his fingers together and wrote the same sixteen characters in the air.

If the tiger humbles its power, there will be blows.If the raccoon shrinks its body, there will be something to take.

Wei Xian frowned and said, "Da Sui really wants to tear up the covenant and put all his eggs in one basket. Could it be that he wants to replace Da Li?"

Cui Dongshan laughed and pointed to himself.

Wei Xian was stunned for a moment, cupped his hands and cupped his fists, "The national teacher is far-sighted and far-sighted, very human."

Cui Dongshan complained a bit, "From now on, it's fine to call Mr. Cui, one teacher at a time. I always feel that you, the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, are taking advantage of me."

Wei Xian sighed and said: "Little Nanyuan is only a land of several states in Dali. At the beginning, there were immortals who were exiled, leaving only a few words, so I ordered the alchemists of Nanyuan Kingdom to go to the mountains to find hermits and go out to sea to visit the immortals, but I didn't really come. If you go to Haoran Tianxia, ​​you still can't imagine the real size of the world."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "There is a very powerful scholar in Shenzhou, China. He once lamented a drop in the ocean and a mustard seed on the land. If I have a chance in the future, I will take you to meet him. It will be very suitable for you to feel like a frog at the bottom of a well." It's about time."

Cui Dongshan held the handle of the chair with both hands, shook it, and the chair began to "walk". Cui Dongshan seemed to be jolting on a horse, which looked extremely ridiculous.

It's just that Wei Xian has been used to getting along with Cui Dongshan day and night during this period of time. In dealing with this matter, Wei Xian and Yu Lu have to adapt far earlier than Xie Xie.

This is probably the heart of the emperor and the crown prince.

Cui Dongshan said slowly: "I told you the answer. Anyway, the behind-the-scenes of the Sui Dynasty and Dali are all competing for successors. Whether pawns like Cai Feng are alive or not, and whether Cai Jingshen and others surrender If I can’t make waves, then the reason why I stayed in Zhoucheng instead of going to the academy in Beijing is actually not as complicated as you think. My husband loves little treasure vase the most, Mao Xiaodong is a man who can’t hide his words, and he will definitely tell him Da Sui This dishonorable conspiracy, if I bump into it now, I will definitely be angered and scolded for not doing my job properly."

"If I talk about the great cause of the community with my husband, it's even less pleasing. Maybe even my students can't do it. But things still have to be done. I can't say sir, don't worry, the children of Aquarius Li Huai are sure to be fine. , Sir, knowledge is becoming more and more complete now, from the order of the original intention, to the final goal, as well as the choice of road during the period, it has a rough prototype. My set of cold-blooded philistine's business and wording is very easy to deal with. Difficult."

"So it's better for me to hide here, make up for my mistakes, produce real results, help cut off some contacts, and then go to the academy to accept the punishment. At worst, I will be beaten up. It's better than letting the master settle down, and then I'm done. Once he is determined to have evil intentions, the gods are hard to save, even if the old scholar intercedes, it may not be effective."

Wei Xian thought for a moment and was about to speak.

Cui Dongshan, who had already moved the chair to the window, turned his back to Wei Xian and waved his hands, "You Wei Xian is not qualified to comment on the entanglement between me and my husband for the time being, so watch more and talk less."

Cui Dongshan murmured: "Wu Yuan, the governor of Longquan County, Wei Li of Huang Tingguo, Liu Qingfeng of Qingluan Kingdom, Wei Liang, the governor, and you Wei Xian, are all good candidates in our favor. I understand that the starting point is the highest, but the future success still depends on your own abilities. Wei Liang does not talk about him, Guyun Yehe is not a pawn in the true sense, it belongs to the complementarity of the avenue, but Wu Yuan and Liu Qingfeng are his Carefully cultivated, and you and Wei Li were chosen by me, and the four of you will fight for us in the future."

What he said was a bit cloudy and foggy, Wei Xian silently remembered it in his heart.

Cui Dongshan suddenly slapped the arm of the chair, "Shi Rou, that stupid thing, I probably don't know it until now, the words on the origami in the kit are my words from the bottom of my heart, and the words are blood and tears. The most precious experience of a person who has been here. Next time I see you in the academy, if you don’t make any progress, let’s see how I can deal with her. Huh, Du Mao’s fairy relic, she doesn’t need to eat, drink, and sleep, so she can endure the nausea. When the time comes, she will be asked to eat, drink, and take a bath, and do it several times in one go, and make her know what a real man is."

Wei Xian bid farewell and left.

With a wave of his sleeves, Cui Dongshan removed the restriction of the thunder pool surrounded by golden light.

Wei Xian sincerely admires and respects this person.

What I admire is that Dali can have the great momentum it has today. From a small country under the vassal of the Lu Dynasty, it has been able to have this phenomenon in less than a hundred years.

But these are not enough to make Wei Xian feel awed by the national teacher Cui Chen. When this person conquered the world, he was thinking hard about how to defend the country.

Wei Xian thinks this is the real game of chess.

After Wei Xian left, Cui Dongshan flicked his wrist, took the pot of wine on the table into his hand, and took a sip of wine.

During the ups and downs of his travels, he has seen too many people and things, read more books, and seen countless mountains and rivers.

During the thrilling March [-]th dispute that year, there was a civil servant whose life and death were inconspicuous, and there was a sentence that probably no one paid attention to, but it has always moved Cui Chen, and he has remembered it to this day.

"Heaven and earth are endowed with destiny, life must die. Plants spring and autumn, glory must wither, this is the law of heaven, you Qi trainers who disregard the law and ignore human life, and the mountain gods who treat the people like ants, are you different from the monster race?"

Cui Dongshan held the jug with two fingers, leaned against the chair, and murmured to himself, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, intermittently: "I used to be that exiled immortal, and I drank the spring water of the God of Heaven to brew wine, and what I drank was the water from the Baidi City. I see the iron face and horizontal waves. I am unhappy and penniless. I eat under the clouds and drink the dew, and the cool breeze is full. Lighting up and drinking, can defeat the wind and rain. Who is the first in the human heart, the boy is not right, he hangs his head and sleeps, but he hears the chirping of insects on the walls, and he and Mr. He undressed and put on the boy's clothes. He staggered and fell into the broken hut, sleeping on the ground, snoring like thunder , a thousand-year dream in the world"

Cui Dongshan suddenly stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, "It's not interesting, change to another, what to change, um, yes."

Start humming an unknown folk song, "One toad with one mouth, two toads with four legs, jumping into the water, the toads don't drink water, it's a peaceful year, the toads don't drink water, it's a peaceful year"

Cai's mansion in the capital.

The chariots and horses were silent, guests gathered together, and all the talents arrived.

Cai Feng, the second-best man in the Imperial College, is already considered a handsome figure.

I never thought that tonight, among the seven or eight people, Cai Feng was just the one with the lowest official position.

Guo Xin, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, Tao Jiu, the right servant of the Ministry of War, Miao Ren, the Dragon Niu General after the founding of the country, and Song Shan, the deputy commander of the infantry yamen who was in charge of public security in the capital.

Most of them were young and strong officials in the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and they were not very old.The elders are like Tao Jiu, but they are only 45 years old.

Cai Feng is a tall and handsome young man with a magnificent appearance, even in the face of these high-ranking officials, he still does not lose his aura.

This is not only self-reliance on talent and learning, but also has something to do with the surname of this mansion.Even if Cai Jingshen, the patriarch of the Cai family, becomes a laughing stock again, he is still an old immortal who has protected the capital of the Sui Dynasty for many years.

Whether everyone is drinking tea or drinking, they have already planned properly, and it is very likely that the future trend of the Sui Dynasty, and even the future trend of the entire Aquarius Continent, will be decided in this Cai Mansion tonight.

Half a decade later, His Majesty the Emperor will hold a banquet for thousands of elders. Before and after this, everything can be done

Cai Feng got up and said loudly: "Study the books of sages and sages hard, the whole country, the people will not be insulted, protect the country's surname, and will not be overridden by foreign surnames. I am a scholar, and I sacrifice my life for righteousness. This is the time."

Another new champion who was still in the Imperial Academy stood up suddenly, threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground, smashed it, and said in a deep voice: "A son has no two fathers, and a minister has no two lords. I would rather be a broken jade than a tile. Most of the 36 generals who founded the Sui Dynasty were Confucian scholars.”

The crowd was indignant, impassioned and generous.

Someone raised his arms and shouted, "Swear to kill the literary demon Mao Xiaodong!"

Someone wept, and slapped the handle of the chair again and again, "How can I, Sui, bow down to that barbarian Song, cede land for peace, and lose without a fight? It's a great shame."

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Cai Feng didn't see anyone off, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.

Although Song Shan had already made proper arrangements, and the night ban near Cai's house had been cleaned up, all of them were the confidants of the deputy commander of the infantry's yamen, but it's better to be careful.

Cai Feng stayed alone in the lonely banquet hall, and the smell of wine still permeated the air.

Cai Feng's eyes were hot.

To turn the tide, who else but me Cai Feng

Miao Ren and the Xinke champion Lang Zhangdai left in the same carriage.

The two sat opposite each other in the carriage.

Miao Ren looked at the young man with a calm expression, and laughed at himself in his heart. He was not as calm as a junior at the age of a weak crown. Chu Tong, together with Cai Feng, known as the four spirits of the capital, was a leader of the younger generation in the Sui Dynasty. In addition, there were four chiefs including Pan Yuanchun, the son of the late general Pan Maozhen. After Pan Yuanchun, the youngest, left the academy to join the army on the border, the four chiefs were all in the army.

There are a total of eight of these four spirits and four chiefs. After the great feats, such as Chu Tong, Pan Yuanchun, there are four.There are also four people working hard in the poor and common people, such as Zhang Dai and Li Changying in front of me.

Miao Ren knew that there were as many as three young people who were involved in this plan.

Therefore, Miao Ren felt that all the heroic spirits of the Sui Dynasty would protect them and they were done.

Miao Ren lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside. The night was dark and it was still a long time before dawn.

On the way back, Chen Pingan was still thinking about what Lin Shouyi said, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel that he had done anything worthy of Lin Shouyi's gratitude.

If it is Li Baoping and Li Huai who are thinking about it, Chen Ping'an is not surprised at all.

But Lin Shouyi was different, probably because of his more sensitive background, he had always been meticulous, assertive, and ambitious, so Chen Pingan was not surprised that he got involved in the road of practice early on the way to study.

Zhu Lian had a keen intuition, so he didn't go straight back to his guest house, but followed Chen Pingan into the room, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

The titular master and servant, fighting to the death one after another, cultivated a tacit understanding.

Chen Pingan did not hide anything from Zhu Lian. After pouring two bowls of wine, he nodded and said, "Master Mao Shan told me that recently someone in the Sui capital wanted to target the academy students. Envoy Li's participation in the grand event, once there is a problem with the academy, can stir up the anger of the people of the two countries, and then break the delicate balance, and maybe set off a border war. In the past two years, the Sui Dynasty and the opposition, for Emperor Gao's initiative to look at the eyes The barbarian Dali bowed his head and listened to his ears, and he was already suffocating evil fire. From the humiliated civil servants and generals, to the outraged scholarly literary world, to the bewildered common people, as long as there is an opportunity, they will "

Zhu Lian then said: "A single spark can start a prairie fire, once it is out of control, there will be no turning back for the Sui Dynasty. Even Emperor Gao will be forced to tear up the Shanmeng League."

Chen Pingan said indifferently: "I understand these important court affairs, seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence without resentment, so I would not care about it at first. Aquarius and the others were involved."

Chen Pingan drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and stopped talking.

Zhu Lian was slightly surprised.

So heavy murderous.

In the lake of the heart, there was a surge of ferocity.

Zhu Lian hesitated to speak.

Chen Ping's face was calm, "I know."

Chen Ping poured a bowl of wine, "The more you practice swords, the more you will be affected by the sword fairy Wei Jin's sword that split the night and the killing around Jiaolonggou. Dare to do whatever I want, but later I was seriously injured by Du Mao's Swallowing Sword Boat, and later, when I met my enemy Li Baozhen, I became more and more aware that there was something wrong with my state of mind. It may even be the same as when I was in the earliest days. Brokenness has a lot to do with it, anyway, it’s very troublesome.”

Zhu Lian worriedly said: "Then how the young master will deal with this seems to involve a knot in the heart or the inner demon of a cultivator."

Chen Ping raised the wine bowl, touched Zhu Lian, smiled and said, "Read more."

Seeing Zhu Lian's incredible expression, Chen Ping smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not joking with you."

Zhu Lian took a sip of his wine and shook his head.

If this is not a joke, there are still jokes in the world

Chen Pingan said softly: "Before I arrived at Donghuashan Academy, I actually began to read the books of sages and sages, intentionally or unintentionally. Why did I read the books of scholars in Qingluan country? Some of my inexplicable intentions are not completely compatible, and the effect is not great, so under the suggestion of Cui Dongshan, I want to verify the Confucian moral articles and the fundamental knowledge of Legalism. Looking back, it is indeed useful. When I arrived at the academy, I saw the ruler around Master Maoshan’s waist, and saw the engraving on it. I suddenly realized that I was on the right path. It was just that I was confused and followed my intuition. In fact, I didn’t know where I was going. , you may not be clear, I, Chen Pingan, are most afraid of that kind of "

Chen Pingan began to prepare words.

Zhu Lian tentatively said, "I drew my sword and looked around in a daze."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "That's what it means. As long as I see someone standing at a certain distance or high place, no matter how far or high, I will not be afraid."

Chen Ping lightly wrote on the table with his fingers, and said slowly: "The sage has a saying: do what you want and do not exceed the rules. This is the right medicine."

Holding up the wine bowl, Zhu Lian felt that it was wrong to drink it, and it was wrong not to drink it.

Chen Pingan laughed and said: "Drinking still needs a reason to go."

The two drank the wine in the bowl.

Chen Pingan felt that since the experience of a martial artist, the enemy of life and death, can benefit his cultivation the most, then it is possible to practice Qi warriors by himself, so as to sharpen his mind and character, and to have fun in hardship, as a dragon-slaying platform for practice.

Just like when he was on Zhongyue in Chengtian Kingdom, on the ferry boat, Zhu Lian punched Pei Qian and let Pei Qian dodge.

Shi Rou is not a pure martial artist, so he doesn't know what is so wonderful about Pei Qian relying on "instinct" to break through and escape the punches from all directions.

Zhu Lian was also not a cultivator and didn't understand the horror of the earth immortals who regard the demons as mortal enemies, so he didn't understand how high Chen Ping's realm was.

Had a drink.

Zhu Lian began to calculate habitually, and said: "I heard from Shi Rou that last time on the wall of the Lion Garden, the young master almost got into a fight with that girl Liu Boqi in the master's knife room, and almost drew out the long sword behind her, but Shi Rou was behind you , found that even if the young master just held the hilt of the sword, his palms were burned and injured afterwards, and he had to withdraw his hands into his sleeves, lest Liu Boqi find out the truth."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "There is no way, half-immortal soldiers are so difficult to serve."

Zhu Lian was puzzled.

Regarding the battle between Ouhua Fudi and Ding Ying, Chen Ping'an once said it carefully, it was a replay of the chess game between master and servant.

Chen Pingan explained: "Although the long-qi sword I told you about was higher in rank, it was broken by the boss sword fairy most of the restrictions, otherwise I would not be able to pull out that sword until I die. , and the Fu family of Old Dragon City, as the sword immortals who made amends, on the one hand, they watched the show with heart, knowing that they sent me off, which meant that the so-called half-immortal soldiers were just tasteless for a long time, and on the other hand, they were in compliance with the rules. They helped to open all the restrictions, which means that this sword is like a house, without the door key, it fell into my hand, Chen Ping'an, and it can be used. If it accidentally falls into someone else's hands, you can enter and leave the mansion freely. , On the contrary, it is an act with ulterior motives.”

Chen Pingan reached out and grabbed the fairy sword on the bed, "I have been using the method of small refining to peel off the cocoon of those secret art restrictions, and the progress is slow. I probably need to be among the seven realms of martial arts to crack all of them one by one. Restriction, you can use it freely, like an arm and a finger. Pull it out now, it will kill one thousand enemies and damage eight hundred, it is best not to use it unless it is a last resort."

Zhu Lian was stunned, took a sip of wine, and then said slowly: "Li Baoping, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, Yu Lu, thank you. The five of them are all from Dali. It doesn't make much sense to assassinate Yu Lu, thank you for identifying your identity , is a survivor of the Lu family. Although he was once a cultivating genius in the mansion of the largest immortal family in the Lu family, this status determines that the amount of thanks is not enough. The first three are all from the Lizhu Cave, and Mr. Qi taught him carefully in the past Among them, Xiao Bao Ping and Li Huai are the best. One family patriarch is Dali who enshrines Yuanying, and one father is the master of the limit. If any one of them has a problem, Dali will not let it go. One is unwilling, and the other is afraid.”

Chen Pingan didn't mention Li Xisheng's matter to Zhu Lian, so Zhu Lian gave "dare not" to Li Huai whose father was Li Er.

Back then in Niping Lane, Li Xisheng used a sixth-level qi trainer to face off against a nine-level sword cultivator who was an innate sword embryo.

Afterwards, he drew amulets on the Luopo Mountain Bamboo Building, and the words were tens of thousands, which made the whole Luopo Mountain sink.

In fact, these are not important.

For Chen Pingan.

Li Baoping's own safety is the most important.

Chen Pingan poured another bowl of wine for Zhu Lian, "Why do you feel that you will not have a safe day if you follow me?"

Zhu Lian drank heavily, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Master, if you had entered the blessed land of lotus flowers earlier and met the old slave at the most beautiful time, you would not have said such things. Life and death are always a snap of the fingers. between."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "At that time, I was able to beat Ding Ying, and it had something to do with his blindness. If you meet someone who doesn't pay attention to the demeanor of a master, I guess I will die."

Zhu Lian quickly drank the wine in the bowl, licked his face and stretched out the wine bowl, "Just say this to the young master, this old slave should drink an extra bowl of fine wine."

Chen Pingan really poured another bowl of wine for Zhu Lian, feeling a little emotional, "I hope you and I, no matter it's ten years or a hundred years, will often have the opportunity to drink together like this."

Zhu Lian grinned and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

Chen Pingan didn't drink less tonight, far more than usual.

After the two separated, Chen Pingan went to Mao Xiaodong's study, and chatted in detail about refining natal objects.

in the dark.

Chen Pingan walked alone.

Before the schoolhouse lights out.

Pei Qian blushed and said, "Sister Bao Ping, I don't sleep well."

Li Baoping thought for a while, then went to move the mountain of small books that occupied a bed and stacked them on another mountain of small books.

The two lay in their respective quilts, Li Baoping lay up straight, said the word "sleep", and fell asleep in an instant.

Pei Qian carefully tossed and turned, and fell asleep very late.

When I woke up the next day, I found that I was like a rice dumpling, wrapped in a warm quilt that was padded by the corners.Pei Qian turned his head and saw that Li Baoping's quilts were neatly arranged, like tofu cubes cut out by a knife. When Pei Qian thought about how he packed the quilts in a pot every time, he felt a little guilty and felt guilty again. I fell asleep comfortably.Only by raising your spirits can you continue to fool that stupid Li Huai and two guys who are even more stupid than Li Huai today.

As for arm wrestling with Li Baoping, Pei Qian felt that when he was as old as Li Baoping, let's talk about it, anyway, since he was young, he would not be ashamed to lose to Li Baoping.

Next year, I will be 12 years old and Li Baoping will be 13 years old. Naturally, they will still be one year older than her, so Pei Qian doesn't care.Next year and next year, there will be so many next year, which is pretty good.

Li Baoping went to look for Chen Pingan early in the morning after waking up, but there was no one in the guest house, so he rushed to Mao Shanzhu's yard.

wait at the door.

Mao Xiaodong, as a Confucian sage who sits in the academy, can see everything about the academy as long as he wants, so he had to tell Chen Pingan that Li Baoping was waiting outside.

Chen Pingan left the study and went to take Li Baoping back to the study. On the way, he said that he could not visit the capital of Sui Dynasty today.

Li Baoping learned that Chen Ping'an would stay in the academy for at least a month, so he was not in a hurry. He thought about going to some places he hadn't been to today, or he would bring Pei Qian first, but Chen Ping'an suggested, Today, I will take Pei Qian to visit the academy first. I will take Pei Qian to visit all the famous places in Donghua Mountain, such as Master's Hall, Library and Bird Pavilion.Li Baoping thought it was okay, and before reaching the study, he ran away in a hurry, saying that he wanted to have breakfast with Pei Qian.

Mao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I have to worry about being assassinated when I go out, and I can't bear to disappoint Li Baoping, don't you think it's troublesome?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I am very hesitant."

Mao Xiaodong asked: "Just don't ask, do I know who are the powerful and influential people of the Sui Dynasty who are planning this matter?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, "Even this academy is still the land of the Sui Dynasty."

"The current priority is still your refining."

Mao Xiaodong waved his hand, "Cui Dongshan sprays shit all over his mouth, but there is a saying that is quite human. Our academy is established, and our wealth and knowledge are only in one line."

Mao Xiaodong stood up and walked slowly, "Buddhas say that letting go of attachments, all kinds of suffering in this life will not be suffering, it is a kind of great freedom. Taoism pursues purity, suffering is like a flying boat that flies through the void, avoiding the world early , It is a kind of true carefree. Only we Confucianism, facing difficulties, people in the world are suffering in this life, do not escape or avoid, on the road, books of sages and sages, like lanterns, guide people.

Chen Pingan couldn't help but said softly: "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go."

Mao Xiaodong stopped in his tracks, deeply convinced, and sighed: "That's exactly the reason."

In just two hours, Li Baoping took Pei Qian to finish the trip to the academy. If he didn't have to patiently explain to Pei Qian, Li Baoping could solve it in an hour.

In the end, Li Baoping took the towering tree on the top of Dongshan with him, climbed up the branches one after the other, took Pei Qian to look into the distance, and then stretched out his fingers to tell Pei Qian where the Sui capital was. Those fun and delicious things are like a treasure, and the boldness, like the whole capital city, is her family's courtyard.

Pei Qian took a peek at Li Baoping.

It is conceivable that Sister Bao Ping, who is wearing a red skirt or a red padded jacket, has been standing here all these years, waiting for the little uncle.

The two sat on the branch, Li Baoping took out a red handkerchief, and when he opened it, there were two pieces of soft glutinous pastry, each of them gnawed on one.

Pei Qian said that she can go shopping by herself in the afternoon.

Li Baoping nodded in agreement, and said that in the afternoon there was an old master outside the academy who had a great reputation, and it was said that he was even louder. He wanted to come to the academy to give lectures. He was a master of exegesis of a certain Confucian classic. Since my uncle has something to do today, there is no need to go If she was wandering around the capital, she wanted to hear whether the old master from the far south was really that knowledgeable.

Pei Qian, who didn't even know what exegesis was, asked timidly, "Sister Aquarius, do you understand?"

Li Baoping nodded and shook his head again: "In the books I copied, there are actually many explanations, but I have a lot of questions that I can't understand. The gentlemen of the academy will either persuade me not to be too ambitious, saying that Li Changying from the academy is almost the same. Now Even if you tell me, I don't understand, but I don't understand, I didn't say anything, how do you know that I don't understand, forget it, they are masters, I can't say that, these words, just Can hold back and roll in the stomach. Or there are some masters who talk about him, anyway, he will not be like Mr. Qi, who can always give me an answer every time. It will not be like the little uncle, who knows what he knows If you don’t know, just tell me that he doesn’t understand either. That’s why I like to go outside the academy often. You probably don’t know that the earliest mountain masters in our academy taught me, Li Huai, and others. There is Mr. Qi, Lin Shouyi, who was just learning, he said that all the knowledge still needs to fall on one word. How to interpret the word has two meanings. One is to travel thousands of miles to increase knowledge, and the other is to master it. To learn, to cultivate oneself, govern the family, rule the country and the world, I am still young, so I can only run around more."

When talking about this, Pei Qian found that Li Baoping frowned rarely.

Pei Qian sighed sincerely: "Sister Aquarius, you really think a lot."

Seeing that Pei Qian hadn't finished eating the pastry, Li Baoping laughed like a little mouse eating corn, and patted Pei Qian's shoulder, "Little uncle thinks a lot."

Li Baoping shook his feet and said solemnly: "Cui Dongshan once said that one day, my little uncle will meet his favorite girl, and I can only be the second in my little uncle's heart." , maybe one day in the future I will meet someone I like more, and my junior uncle will also be second in my heart. I think Cui Dongshan is talking nonsense. I don’t mind if my junior uncle has a girl he likes, but How could I like others more than my junior uncle, right, Pei Qian?"

Pei Qian nodded quickly.

Li Baoping was very satisfied with Pei Qian's attitude, patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "In the future, you will travel with my uncle, you have to make persistent efforts and be more sensible. It's okay to be naughty, but don't be naughty all the time. Uncle works hard, my little uncle, your master, did not fall from the sky. The little uncle will also have troubles, sad things that need to be drunk, so you have to be more sensible, see if you can do it Back then, my junior uncle didn't drink alcohol, but now he drinks alcohol, which shows that you, the great disciple of Kaishan, are not good enough, right?"

Pei Qian still nodded, sincerely convinced.

Regarding the small silver gourd and narrow knife auspicious talisman that he lent himself, Li Baoping said the words that his master Chen Pingan and Zhong Kui said back then, the general meaning is exactly the same.

At that moment, Pei Qiancai admitted that there was a reason for Li Baoping to call Chen Pingan his junior uncle.

The two slipped down the tree one after another.

Li Baoping was going to listen to the lecture given by the foreign master, so he rushed away, among a group of old masters and young academy students, Li Baoping was undoubtedly the youngest, with a touch of bright red, which was extremely eye-catching.

Pei Qian stepped on the time when Li Huai and the other three finished class, and went to their school.

The three are still walking together.

Liu Guan asked: "Ma Lian, tell me, if someone in the family becomes an official and gets the imperial decree, it's really like what Pei Qian said, there are so many things to pay attention to just by placing it."

Ma Lian nodded vigorously, "There are some small discrepancies, but it is basically what she said."

"And Pei Qian said that the Babu bed she slept on when she was a child was really that big and could hold so many messy things."

Ma Lian still nodded, "Yes, my sister has one."

Liu Guan said helplessly: "Come on, it's really a noble princess. The next time we meet, how can we salute and give her a big bow? Is it enough to kneel and kowtow?"

Ma Lian looked puzzled: "His Majesty the Emperor and the prince and princess have been to my house, but I was too young to remember them at all."

Li Huai said happily: "What's the matter, Your Highness, she is not Chen Ping'an's apprentice, it's okay, when you see her, you will be just like me, everyone will treat it as a meeting in the rivers and lakes, sit on an equal footing, and bow your hands as a salute."

Liu Guan nodded and said, "That's good. Anyway, she herself said that she is from the rivers and lakes, so we don't need to lose our position."

I saw Pei Qian at the door.

The three clasped their hands together.

Pei Qian raised his brows and cupped his fists in return.

Into the dormitory.

Pei Qian soon began to vividly describe a conflict between the rivers and lakes to the three of them.

A group of reckless scissors sprang out from both sides of the grass, dozens of burly men with knives, guns and sticks, and eighteen kinds of weapons.

The leader, holding a Xuanhua axe, raised his arm and pointed at my master with the blade of the axe, shouted loudly, his voice was as loud as a thunderbolt from the blue sky, this road was opened by me, if you want to live from now on, and leave money to buy your life, if you put yourself in the same place, just ask Are you afraid?

Ma Lian nodded.

Liu Guan chuckled and said: "Anyway, you are protected by your master, it's just bandits and thieves, what are you afraid of?"

Pei Qian put his arms around his chest, and gave Liu Guan a blank look, "My master asked back, what if you don't pay, you don't know, my master was so heroic at that time, the mountain wind was blowing, even if my master didn't move One step, you already have the guru demeanor of taking the head of a general from among thousands of troops, looking at the vast number of bandits, they are simply such juniors, local chickens and dogs, inserting bids to sell Seoul"

Pei Qian couldn't help admiring himself. Those novels about the battlefield and the rivers and lakes were really worth reading, and they will come in handy now.

Liu Guan said impatiently: "Your master is amazing. We have heard a lot about it. You are unparalleled in boxing and invincible in swordsmanship. I know that you are a sword fairy and a master of martial arts. I just want to know how the situation will develop next." Not a bloody battle”

Pei Qian glared and said: "Do you think that there are only reckless and vulgar people fighting and killing in Jianghu? Jianghu people, no matter whether they are green forest heroes or Liangshang gentlemen, no matter how high or low they are, they are all real people and no one is stupid?"

Liu Guan was scolded, and for the first time, he didn't answer back.

Pei Qian jumped off the stool and walked to the side, "The big bandit in the head became furious, and raised a huge ax weighing seventy or eighty catties, and became angry from embarrassment, and asked my master, boy, are you tired of living? alive"

Pei Qian trotted a few steps, turned around and said, "I just heard my master say a word lightly and thoughtfully. The situation changed all of a sudden, and the gang of thieves was clamoring and aggressive."

Liu Guan and Ma Lian listened attentively.

Li Huai was eating melon seeds.

He has seen the whole world with Chen Pingan, and he has even dealt with the wedding gown ghost, a bunch of little bandits, he, Li Huai, doesn't take it seriously.

Pei Qian ran forward again, pretending to have a ferocious face, turned around and said, "Just listen to that guy say sternly, boy, do you know how to write the word dead?"

Pei Qian ran back the same way, "My master said two more words, I know."

Then Pei Qian immediately used his finger as a pen, wrote a dead character in the air, turned his head and said to the three people: "I did such an action at that time, how is it?"

Ma Lian's eyes were dull.

Liu Guan clapped his hands.

Pei Qian walked to the table. Ma Lian had prepared some tea earlier. She took a sip, moistened her throat, and continued: "The gang of thieves were so angry that they screamed, beating their chests and feet, like drums beating on the battlefield. That man roared to the sky, his eyes were bigger than a copper bell, and he gave orders to the minions who were accepted, brothers, copy guys, hack this guy who likes to pretend to be garlic, especially the little girl with the wrong sword in her waist, Don't look at her young age, but she is an old Jianghu, her cultivation is unpredictable, and she should not be underestimated."

Pei Qian suddenly stopped "storytelling".

It turned out that a big warm hand was pressed on his head.

Pei Qian turned his head and smiled angrily, "Master, you are here, I am talking to Li Huai and the others."

Pei Qian wanted to tell the truth that he was talking nonsense.

I never thought that Chen Pingan had already smiled and said: "Okay, Li Huai and the others are still students in the academy, so don't talk too much about these rivers and lakes. If you can in the future, you will become friends, and you can study abroad in Li Huai, Liu Guan and Ma Lian. When the time comes, you will travel with them and learn more, and then talk to the three of them in detail."

Pei Qian gave a heavy hum, elated.

Chen Ping asked Li Huai to have dinner with his friends first, and then went back to the inn to find him, while Chen Ping took Pei Qian to find Li Baoping.

On the way, Chen Ping reminded in a low voice: "If there is a chance in the future, study with Li Huai and the other three, and remember one thing. At that time, how much martial arts you have and how many rivers and lakes you have been through, you must be with them. Make it clear, you can't blindly brag about yourself, make a big deal, and mistake them for the so-called Jianghu, but if this is the case, then things will easily happen, remember?"

Pei Qian nodded and said, "Remember that."

Chen Ping said seriously: "Take it to heart."

Pei Qian grinned and said, "I will engrave it on the bamboo slips without missing a single word later on."

Walking on a secluded academy path, Chen Pingan felt something in his heart, and said softly: "Why do you want to walk the rivers and lakes? It's not just to chase those beautiful scenery, it's not just to practice boxing and martial arts to make yourself stronger. There are more Meet people in the quack who are better than yourself."

"Like me, Master, I saw Zhang Shanfeng who was hungry on the Dajiao Mountain ferry, Xu Yuanxia who rushed into the haunted house with a chivalrous aura, and the old sword master of the Shushui Kingdom who appeared in the dilapidated ancient temple. The pair seemed terrifying. Ghost couples who love each other, Fan Er from Old Dragon City, and Master Liu Youzhou from Yuanxuan Mansion in Daoxuan Mountain will also feel ashamed, admired and envied, and even occasionally jealous."

Pei Qian said in surprise: "Master will still do this."

Chen Ping rubbed his little head, "You think Master also has seven emotions and six desires, and also has a lot of stinky problems. There are never many people who don't like or look up to Master. It's just that you can see better people, and you can't see them in vain. If you want to look up at a high mountain, even if you can't reach it, you will be fascinated by it."

Pei Qian walked slower and slower.

After Chen Ping walked a dozen steps, he turned his head and saw the little girl Heitan who was standing still, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Pei Qian laughed, "Sister Baoping, she said that her little uncle didn't fall from the sky, but I think the master did fall from the sky back then."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If you have the ability, tell your Aquarius sister."

Pei Qian quickly ran to Chen Pingan, "I'm not stupid"

I looked at the master's back earlier.

Pei Qian was suddenly sentimental.

Walking mountains and rivers on foot, a long journey.

They once saw a lot of rolling stones on the official mountain road in heavy rain and mud.

Pei Qian felt that it would be fine to go around.

But the master would stop in the heavy rain and remove the stones from the road.

Under the pitch-black rain, Master dressed in white was busy.

They also stopped by a long-repaired wooden bridge on the Tea-Horse Road. Master just looked at the wooden bridge for a long time in a foolish way, and then ran to the deep mountains by himself, cut the big logs and carried them back, split them into planks, and threw away the firewood. Replace the knife with a hammer, ding ding dong dong, and mend bridges.
