Sword comes

Chapter 454 The moon is in the sky

Outside the window, the river flowed through the ages, and Chen Ping'an, lying on the window sill, just squinted for a while, and his spirit was relieved. This is a rare thing. Chen Ping'an has not slept soundly for too long.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi have not yet returned, Chen Pingan is still a little worried.

As he expected, he had seen the letter Zhang Die, returned to Shujian Lake, and then left Qingxia Island. This trip from Liuguan Pass to Meiyang Country, there were indeed shadows along the way, and someone followed him from afar. It was so deep that Chen Ping'an only had a slight feeling in his heart occasionally. Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were kept in the dark from beginning to end.

Even if the other party didn't show the slightest kindness or hostility, Chen Pingan still felt like a thorn in his back.

There were only a handful of monks who could do this in Shujian Lake before. Liu Laocheng in the Jade Pujing Realm disdained this, and the old Yuanying Liu Zhimao would not do such a thing.

The Song family of Dali is unwilling to create extra problems, and Chen Pingan is a member of the Dali family after all, and Lu Baixiang and others have all entered the Dali family. The empress's confidant, the spy, has absolutely no guts to play a game of chess in Shujian Lake, because this is under the nose of Cui Chan, and Cui Chan's actions are the most important rules. Of course, the rules of Dali, from the temple to the military , and then to the mountains, almost all of them were formulated by Cui Chan.

Chen Pingan can almost conclude that that person is one of the foreign monks on Gongliu Island, the top spot, it is unlikely, Shujian Lake is of great importance, otherwise he will not take action to suppress Liu Zhimao,

This requires him to sit in the Palace Liudao himself, so it should be the second and third in command of the dragons who have crossed the river to keep an eye on him and wait for the opportunity to move.Fortunately in the misfortune, the opponent didn't intend to kill him directly. It seemed that he hadn't figured out a perfect strategy that would not leave hidden dangers, but once he made a move, it would definitely be thunderous.

For this, deep in Chen Ping'an's heart, he still thanked Liu Laocheng. Instead of making suggestions, Liu Laocheng didn't even watch the fire from the other side. Instead, he secretly reminded himself once and leaked the secret.Of course, there is another possibility here, that is, Liu Laocheng has already told the other party about the jade tablet of the Confucian Temple that accompanied the saint, and the monks from other places are also worried that the jade and stone will be destroyed, which fundamentally ruins their overall plan in Shujian Lake.

However, Chen Ping vaguely felt that Liu Laocheng was a wonderful person, and the former was more likely.

It's a pity that Liu Laocheng is not the person who finally decides the trend of Shujian Lake. As a result, the hard-built chessboard, with Liu Zhimao, Tan Yuanyi, and Liu Laocheng, has been destroyed. Chen Pingan has to admit that this chessboard The only thing missing was that the chessboard was not overturned to the ground. Now it is Su Gaoshan, the main general of the Great Li, who is playing chess with the group of foreign monks in Yishujian Lake. Including him, Chen Pingan, the rest of the people have to stand aside.

But if you say that painstaking efforts and hard work are just a waste of work in the end, Chen Pingan doesn't think so.

If you want to accept your fate, you need to know your fate before accepting your fate. Just like Chen Ping'an wanted to see Su Gaoshan, but when he got the rather domineering "Get out" reply, Chen Ping'an was able to accept it calmly, because he had a trip to Shihao country and saw him with his own eyes. Hearing it with his own ears, plus the previous summary of Liuxu Island's mansion newspaper, Chen Pingan dared to say that he knew Su Gaoshan's temperament quite well. He is in a high position, so he is extremely tenacious, his heart is like a rock, and his state of mind has long been similar to that of a great monk. It is impossible to say that Cui Chan and Song Changjing gave orders to him, even if there is no shortage of orders and accountability. Gao Shan respected him somewhat.

But accepting fate, after all, is a hard work, but it is fruitless, of course there will still be disappointment.

This point is actually no different from Zhang Dian who appeared in Falcon Mountain.

Chen Pingan wanted to touch the raising sword gourd and take a sip of wine, only to remember that he had given it to Ma Duyi and hung it around his waist, so he sat back at the table, thought for a while, and took out the calligraphy of that pedantic county captain , spread out the copybooks one by one, appreciate them, and like them no matter how you look at them.

All the way through, hearty, unrestrained.

How is this different from Wufu punching

The look is moving, and it is in harmony with the way to advance and retreat.

What's the difference between this and the sword fairy

There will always be some similarities in the world.

On each copybook, there are different private seals of the young county lieutenant, most of which are printed on one post, and rarely have two seals on one post.

One of the copybooks has a very strong tone of content, "If you hold me to post the photo of Linshui, don't be afraid that the words will turn into dragons. If you hold me to post the night tour, it will teach ghosts and gods to hide."

There are two seals printed next to each other, "Young Jiao is strong" and "Slender Dragon is fat".

There was another one, where three seals were stamped on the copybook one after another. Chen Pingan was particularly impressed by the actions of the young county lieutenant at that time. "When you meet a fool and sell my immortal family characters with immortal family wine, you will be happy and happy." The seals are "Kaiyuan", "Changshu" and "Mochi Immortal".

Chen Ping put them away one by one.

In the future, it must be kept in Luoba Mountain for collection. In the future, no matter who asks for it, no matter how high the price is, it will not be sold. It must be passed down as a family heirloom.

Thinking of this, Chen Pingan couldn't help but smile.

Chen Pingan stretched his waist, covered his sleeves with both hands, and turned his head to look at the river.

There was once a beautiful verse that was excerpted from a book and engraved on a bamboo slip. A small bamboo slip carries such a great artistic conception.

Luomuqianshan, the sky is great, and Chengjiang is a clear month.

The magnificent river view outside the window, unknowingly, my heart is also opened up.

Mr. Qi, there is a saying that I can't do things in Daoxuanshan, after working hard, I may have done it now.

After Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi came back, Zeng Ye was very interested. To tell you the truth, he met the water god master of Chunhua River, who was very kind with his hairpin and embroidered clothes. A circle of water temples.

But Ma Duyi rolled his eyes, saying that the old man's eyes were uncomfortable and lewd, and when he looked at her waist raising a sword gourd, he didn't miss her waist.

Chen Pingan couldn't say much about it.

The Chunhua River is the largest river in the Plum Country, and the Plum Country has always revered the water god. As the leading god of river water, the Chunhua River Water God is definitely not simple.

In fact, Chen Pingan has seen many landscape gods. The earliest Qidun Mountain Wei Bo was a ghost in wedding dress who was half a landscape god, and the embroidered Jiangshui general who appeared next to Gu Can's father, Tong Yezhou The Goddess of the Buried River over there, on the way to the north of the Daquan Dynasty, met a pair of deadly rival gods who were fighting against each other, shaking the mountains and rivers, and of course the one in Ziyang Mansion of Huang Tingguo, who made Chen Ping'an feel dizzy Empress Baihu, the water god of the river.

He just doesn't know what is the relationship between the little boy in Tsing Yi and his friend from the rivers and lakes, Yujiang Water God, on the other side of his own mountain, Luopo Mountain.

Wei Bo and Zhu Lian sent a message about Feijian on Qingxia Island. The letter mentioned this matter more or less, but they didn’t say much, only that the water god of Huang Tingguo got a peace card and personally I paid a visit to Longquan County, and the little boy in Tsing Yi greeted him at Luopo Mountain, and finally invited the water god to have a farewell wine in the small town.After that, the little boy in Tsing Yi didn't mention this good brother who valued love and righteousness any more.

Chen Pingan was a little worried, but relying on the few words in the letter, it was not easy to tell the boy in Tsing Yi casually.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Pingan never disliked the almost childish loyalty of the boy in Tsing Yi. In his eyes, it was precisely the most precious part of the boy in Tsing Yi.

It's much better to be stupid than to be shrewd and not smart at all.

At least in Chen Pingan's Lost Mountain, this is very important and crucial.

Because this is Chen Ping's small world, the rules are determined by him, and Chen Ping's own personal likes and dislikes are like Taoist temple veterans, in a blessed place of lotus flowers, they are "God".

Outside the delineated range, Chen Pingan also recognizes the difference between shrewdness in dealing with people and the way that everyone strives to be the first, and it is not even a dislike. Sun Jiashu of Changjie, the young head of the Sun family, is not only shrewd, but also has unique wisdom in dealing with the world. But in the end, Chen Pingan and Sun Jiashu had to part ways at the Sun's ancestral house, but in the end When leaving the Old Dragon City by ferry, Chen Pingan's impression of Sun Jiashu had already deepened.

The same kind of rice is more than raising a variety of people.

If you are willing to look at other people's goodness, you won't get into a dead end.

And you need to know more about the differences between others and yourself, so that you can know why others live well and not live well.

Think about it, turn it around a thousand times.

Just like the cursive copybooks of the young county lieutenant, they were so scribbled and crazy that at first glance, Zeng Ye couldn't recognize a single word, but in fact, it was not a single word at all.

But looking at characters and appreciating the miracles of calligraphy, it doesn't matter if I don't know the characters or I don't know me, just look at the momentum roughly, and it doesn't matter if I don't read it.But when everyone is in this complex world, you don’t know the rules and constraints of this world, especially those rules that are at the bottom and most easily ignored by people. Life must teach people to be human, which has nothing to do with good and evil, and the way is selfless. Four seasons go by, time goes by, no one can say "I knew the beginning" after suffering.

Chen Pingan was a little worried. The boy who burned the fire with the golden sword gourd on his back said that he would move to another world. Didn't he mean that the blessed land of lotus flowers would also be taken to the Qingming world? And Cao Qinglang, what should I do? Is there a chance to meet again? What about Cao Qinglang, an ancient man who received a posthumous title of great beauty in history?

For Cao Qinglang's kind-hearted child, Chen Ping'an has always been thinking about it, never forgetting it.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were sitting at the table chatting, eating melon seeds, and unconsciously found that Mr. Chen seemed a little sad again.

Fortunately, this sadness is not the same as before, it is not heavy, it is just the melancholy of thinking of someone or something, it is the green ants floating on the wine, not the sadness of turning into old wine.

But this accountant never said a word about his own emotions, and always endured them alone.

This made both Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye somewhat disappointed.

There was a knock on the door, and this Xianjia inn built along the river sent another Xianjia Mansion Newspaper edited by Mei Yangguo himself.

After thanking Chen Pingan, he turned the page, browsed both sides, handed it to Ma Duyi, and said helplessly: "Su Gaoshan has started to attack the Meihuang Kingdom on a large scale, leaving behind the border near the pass, which has been completely lost."

There are detailed records on this matter in the mansion newspaper.

Zhou Mi, one of the three naval commanders of the Meihuang Kingdom, is in charge of guarding the upper reaches of the Chunhua River.He had already defected to the Dali Iron Cavalry, deliberately led the army to rebel, and secretly contacted Dali. As a result, the emperor of the Meihuang Kingdom, who had been aware of it for a long time, sent several royal families to enshrine the monks and killed them together. People, including a Jindan Earth Immortal from Dali, Su Gaoshan was furious, and ordered the three generals under his command to issue military orders. Within one month, they must attack the three places of the Meihuang Kingdom. The capital of the country formed an encirclement circle, and threatened to cut off the head of the emperor of the Meihuang Kingdom and use it as a jug, and use it to toast the grave next year during the Qingming Festival.

Zeng Ye just watched the excitement, so he couldn't understand it anyway, but felt that the Dali Iron Cavalry is really too powerful and full of domineering.

The monks on the mountain often don't have too deep feelings for their family and country. The longer they practice, the longer they leave the secular world, the more indifferent they become.

Stand by and watch with cold eyes.

Otherwise, if you don't have enough cultivation, you have never really stood on the top of the mountain, and you will still be engulfed by the general situation and have to go down the mountain.

That's why the middle-aged Taoist who happened to meet in the stream, took the initiative to go down the mountain, and helped the poor at the foot of the mountain, which made Chen Ping'an respectful. Chen Ping doesn't think that middle-aged Taoists must be firm in their hearts, and doing good and accumulating virtue in the world is the right way, otherwise they will be inferior.

Ma Duyi looked further than Zeng Ye, and asked suspiciously: "Why is Su Gaoshan so anxious that he must quickly take down the Meiyang Kingdom? The waterways criss-cross and criss-cross, which is very unsuitable for the Dali Cavalry Army to gallop."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "We said it was the Dali Iron Cavalry, but it is not true that there are only cavalry. It is just that Dali is famous for its iron cavalry. It is easy for people to mistakenly think that the foot soldiers of the Dali Frontier Army are ordinary. This way south, what? Such a dynasty and feudal vassals have never been taught before. It is the general trend for Dali to win the Meiyang Kingdom, but you are right. If you are in such a hurry to win the Meiyang Kingdom, you must pay a higher price than breaking the capital of the Shihao Kingdom , the soldiers and horses of both Dali and Meihuang Kingdom will be damaged more. The mystery here may only be clear to Su Gaoshan. I believe that someone should be urging Su Gaoshan and Cao Ping, such as the true strength of the Dali Iron Cavalry. The backbone, the feudal lord Song Changjing."

Ma Duyi hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Why doesn't he seem to care much about the life and death of those fighters on the battlefield, and he doesn't care as much about the common people as he does about the battles on the battlefield?"

Chen Pingan thought for a while, and drew a circle on the table with his finger, "There is a saying in my hometown, if the earthen pot is not separated from the mouth of the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. Joining the army and fighting in the battlefield is like tying your head to the waistband of your trousers." Just like the general in Lingguan Temple, do you think he will regret dying for the country after he dies? And the stragglers of the Shihao Kingdom who fought with the people in the small county town for food, that young soldier, even if he died There are so many robes, how can they really want to draw swords on the common people."

Chen Pingan drew a bigger circle, "You may not know that earlier in Shihao Country, I stopped a mountain spirit boy who wanted to kill someone at a dog meat shop in a county town, and gave him a Immortal money. But if the monster clan invades the Haoran world in a large scale, one day, even if I know that among the monster clan, there will be a fox spirit from the ancient temple in the early years, and there will be this strange boy who finally gave up killing people, but when I face the mighty The army is in front, and I am the only one standing in front of them. Behind them are the city and the people. What do you think I should do? Go to the battle formation and ask the monsters one by one, why do you want to kill people, and are you willing not to kill people?"

Chen Pingan said indifferently: "Since I choose to stand there to block the way, it means that I have made a plan to die. Since the other party has killed there, the same should be the same. The sage of the military family sits on the ruins of the ancient battlefield, and he sits in the world." , For example, Confucian sages sit in colleges, and Taoist true emperors sit in Taoist temples. Perhaps this is part of the reason why there is such a favorable time, place, and people. When they are in it, outsiders have to follow the Romans."

Chen Pingan asked: "I said this, can you understand?"

Zeng Ye honestly shook his head.

Ma Duyi asked: "I understand the general truth, but there is another problem. If outsiders can forcibly break through the saint's world, does it mean the original truth, no?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said: "This shows that you haven't thought clearly about why a saint can rule the world. This is the root cause, this is the thread of the thread, the beginning of the sequence. After that, come to wonder why it was still destroyed by external forces." , I was beaten by a seemingly unreasonable outsider with my fist. As for why I say it seems, it is more complicated. When I have the opportunity to encounter something real in the future, I will explain it to you in detail, otherwise you will just It will become more and more confusing, as if everything is reasonable, but in the end, everyone is unreasonable."

Ma Duyi nodded, "Okay, wait and see."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "But I hope I don't have that chance."

Ma Duyi became more and more confused.

Chen Pingan said slowly: "We have seen with our own eyes the misfortune of Shihao's family and country. Only poets and heroes, voices of subjugation, words of grief and indignation, and those civil servants and generals who died for their country are most likely to be remembered by history books. We have also passed through the Meiyang country, and more of them are hard-working common people, complaining literati, and living a fairly stable life. Which one do you think is luckier, the Shihao country or the Meiyang country?"

The answer is obvious.

To die generously is a last resort after all, and not regretting it does not mean that you have no regrets.And to live well, even if it is not so comfortable, is always the simplest wish of the world.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "We don't know many simple truths. It is difficult for us to empathize with other people's suffering, but isn't this our luck?"

No matter how good a person is, they cannot truly empathize with the heart-wrenching suffering of others.

Back then in Rouge County of Caiyi Country, under Zhao Shu, a young man with a machete, why was the little girl who was guarded so desperately that she was the only one willing to trust Chen Pingan, because children are often more sincere, more sensitive to suffering and harder to resist, that The little girl nicknamed Luan Luan felt the similar joys and sorrows in Chen Pingan who was in a closer situation, not because in the eyes of the child at that time, Chen Pingan must be better than the girl who was also a good person beside her.

At this moment, Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye looked at each other in blank dismay.

Chen Pingan looked calm at last, and said: "But where do these lucky people who are in the blessings and don't know the blessings come from? Shouldn't they know and cherish it? Calling for injustice, God probably won’t listen, so there is a Bodhisattva sitting upside down on the altar, but I still think that scholars should take some responsibility at this juncture, and have read more books than ordinary people Books, fame, glory, enjoy greater blessings than ordinary people, so you should shoulder more burdens."

Chen Ping put his hands lightly on the handle of the chair.

When everyone's sitting posture is not straight, no matter how comfortable they are, the tenons are loose, and the chairs are shaking, the world will not be peaceful.That's why Confucianism pays attention to academic study and self-cultivation, and it is necessary to sit upright and be cautious of being alone.

After reading Shujian Lake, I was so disappointed.

But when Chen Pingan left Shujian Lake, walked more roads, and thought about more things, he was not so disappointed.

After a short two-day rest, they left this fairy inn and went to the southernmost territory of Meiyang Kingdom.

On the way to the south, Chen Pingan met a down-and-out scholar. His conversation and clothes showed a good family background.

At that time, the scholar of the Meihuang Kingdom was discouraged by his official career and had no shortage of money, so he hired chariot servants to accompany him on a journey through the dangerous mountains and rivers. As a result, one of them was motivated by money and joined forces with the other two to murder him. He was about to push the scholar who liked to chant poetry down the cliff path. If a kind-hearted porter hadn't tried his best to stop him, the scholar would have disappeared without Chen Pingan's action. Afterwards, the family might not even be able to find his bones.

After Chen Pingan stopped him, he asked how the scholar dealt with those chariot servants. The scholar was also a strange person. He not only gave them the salary they deserved, and asked them to take the money to leave, but also said that they remembered their household registration. No matter how daring to do evil, let him know, new and old accounts will be settled together, a capital crime of losing his head is nothing to worry about.The scholar left only the porter.

Then I had to go with Chen Pingan, change the route, and go south together.

The scholar fell in love with Ma Duyi at first sight.

Chen Pingan was not blind, even Zeng Ye could tell.

Moreover, the scholar's overtures were too lame, he had nothing to say, and deliberately talked with Chen Pingan to criticize current affairs, or he was reciting poems and composing poems in front of the strange landscape, feeling unappreciated.

Ma Duyi was very annoyed. For the first time, he wanted Mr. Chen to put away the fox-skin paper figurine talisman and put himself in his sleeve, so that he could see nothing but hear nothing.

If it wasn't for the scholar who was not so gentle in his studies, after all, he didn't have the nerve to declare his family name and show off his family background, Ma Duyi would have cursed at him, and asked the scholar to put away his complaining ink as soon as possible.

The scholar is obviously a descendant of the aristocratic family of the Meiyang Kingdom, otherwise, the arrogance revealed in the speech, it is not a high school champion at the age of a weak crown, but a three-year experience in the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Household Yamen.

Years later, he was sent to the local government as an official, and he took various measures to deal with the abuses in the officialdom within a county.

He really wanted to be a good official and gain the reputation of being a master of Qingtian.

It's a pity that after resigning from office, let alone an umbrella for all people, he has only a reputation of chicken feathers. The subordinates of the county government secretly scolded him for being pedantic, not knowing how to win some benefits for the government, and patronizing them. He was ignorant of common affairs, and the common people also scolded him, scolding him for fame and reputation, wasting money and wasting money.

One day, when he was talking about his sadness and drank too much wine, the scholar's eyes filled with tears, and he didn't care about pretending to be a famous writer with Ma Duyi.

Chen Pingan didn't say much.

I only talked about my rough views on honest officials and good officials, and roughly talked about the benefits of the former and the difficulties of the latter.

When the scholar heard this, he was drunk and resentful, saying that being in the same place in the officialdom is already undesirable, if he still wants to be in the same boat, then he should be a scholar or an official. A real scholar should rely on his true talents. In practical learning, it is important to be in the center step by step, and then to cleanse the turbidity, this is self-cultivation and governing the country, otherwise, just stop being an official, sorry for the sages in the book.

Chen Ping smiled and said it made sense.

There is no more persuasion.

It wasn't that Chen Pingan felt that the reasoning didn't make sense, or that the scholar's ideas were too naive.

It's a bad thing for this kind of readers.

Chen Pingan saw it with his own eyes.

Wu Yuan, who bears the title of a national teacher's disciple, first served as the county magistrate in Longquan, and hit a wall everywhere. If you want to talk about those big surnames, aren't they afraid of Cui Chen?

But it was soft nails with a pleasant face that were secretly buried inside and outside the government office, causing Wu Yuan to suffer a lot and her official career was not going well. In the end, she had to "move out" of the town to move the nest for the sons of Yuan and Cao. County, of course Wu Yuan was promoted from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, but Chen Pingan dared to assert that Wu Yuan's impression in Dali Chaotang had fallen to the bottom. It is doomed not to have a smooth life, and the hardships, whether it is the rich or the children of the powerful, will feel bad and suffer.

As a matter of fact, Wu Yuan did say something from the bottom of her heart to a son of a wealthy family in the capital around her back then, and she made it clear to that literary secretary, please write a plaque for the Wenwu Temple, or trouble the family to break the deadlock in Longquan Differences, incense, love, not only between friends, even within the family, will also be used up, so don't use it indiscriminately.

If the current Chen Pingan heard about this matter, maybe he would sit down with Wu Yuan and have a good drink. Just this sentence is enough for a pot of good wine.

In Ouhua Blessed Land, Chen Pingan has seen many generations of officials and eunuchs with hairpin tassels. When he became an official in the local area, he thought he could do it, but in fact, many people would take shortcuts to break the rules from the scenery to the gloom, and then to complete silence. After a moment of gain, the local officials also pinch their noses and admit their losses, but they often rebound silently. They become more and more repulsive to those official children from the capital, and their wrists become more sophisticated and insidious, teasing and playing like a fool.

That's why Chen Pingan is afraid of Su Gaoshan, who has turned from a mud-legged man to a general in the army, but he will not underestimate Cao Ping, who has a noble surname and is uniquely blessed at the beginning of the officialdom.

Ma Duyi was so angry that he was so angry that he endured it for a long time. He couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to speak, but Chen Pingan shook his head to signal him not to speak.

Chen Pingan can actually understand the plight of this scholar.

It was exactly the same as his own situation in Shujian Lake.

Should he seek skin from the tiger, and become an ally with Liu Zhimao, who is a life and death enemy and should never die? Let's make rules for Shujian Lake. If you don't do it, you will naturally save worry and effort. If you do it, if you don't say anything else, you will feel unhappy in your heart , Sometimes, in the dead of night, you have to ask yourself whether your conscience is lacking, or whether one day, like Gu Can, you make a wrong step and never look back. The kind of person who likes or dislikes the most.

Chen Pingan respects the choice of the scholar.

Maybe I won't be an official anymore. I have both the talent of the top scholar and the family background. I have devoted myself to studying for decades. Isn't it a better way to break the situation?

Also.

That beautiful possibility lies ahead of the scholar's path.

How can Chen Ping be willing to say one more thing, scholar, you are wrong, you should be a scholar with a guilty conscience for the sake of the common people at one time and one place, and there will be one more good official in the temple, but the country will lose a real one Chen Pingan did not dare to jump to conclusions about the trade-offs and gains and losses of Mr.

These going around and going around are all what Chen Pingan read from the book and wanted to come.

Many words that were only known to be good principles but did not know where they are good, Mr. Qi’s, A Liang’s, Yao’s old man’s words, written on bamboo slips, all kinds of people, the words of truth they left to this world , it became clearer and clearer, as if the thread was picked up by later generations, innocent and true.

When there is a gathering, there will be a breakup.

No matter how much a scholar likes Ma Duyi, no matter how much he doesn't care about Ma Duyi's indifference, he still has to go back to the capital and indulge in the mountains and rivers, after all, it's not a scholar's job.

At the time of parting, he only told about his family background, because in the future, if that Mr. Chen asks him for a drink or asks directions, he must have an address.

It turns out that the scholar is the grandson of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Meihuang.

Drink when you meet and hit it off, and make another drink when you part. This is probably a good river and lake.

In fact, Zeng Ye still didn't quite understand why Mr. Chen was willing to spend so much time with a sour scholar, and he insisted on accompanying the scholar on a stroll of more than a hundred miles.

Even if the scholar is the grandson of a Shangshu master, how could he never feel that Mr. Chen needs to deliberately make friends with such a human figure.

Not worth it.

Not to mention Mr. Chen, it is Zeng Ye, a mountain wilderness who has not yet entered the middle five realms. It has nothing to do with the arrogance of being a monk on the mountain, but Zeng Ye met the same person and the same thing, and died. After saving people and drinking, they broke up.

But when he thought that it was Mr. Chen, Zeng Ye felt relieved. Didn't Ma Duyi tell Mr. Chen to his face that he was uncomfortable? Zeng Ye actually felt the same way, but it was a little different from Ma Duyi. Zeng Ye felt that such a Mr. Chen was very good. Yes, maybe in the future, when I have Mr. Chen's current cultivation base and state of mind, I will talk more with that scholar again.

Zeng Ye's heart of cultivating the Tao, invisibly, from the beginning that he must hold on to Mr. Chen's sleeves and live, has become even if he leaves Mr. Chen in the future, he must live a more enjoyable life. All the senior wild cultivators in Shujian Lake have to live a little differently.

For example, treat ordinary masters at the foot of the mountain with more patience

Zeng Ye must not be thinking clearly enough now, but after all, he started to think.

The tall boy probably didn't know that the boy from Mud Ping Lane back then walked like this, and that's why he is today's accountant.

After separating from the scholar, Sanqi came to a city named Jingzhou in the southernmost part of the Meiyang Kingdom. The biggest official in it was not the prefect, but the owner of the Yamen of the Water Transport Commander. One of the Governor's members, Chen Ping'an, stayed for ten years. Because he found that this place was full of aura, far superior to other local towns, and beneficial to Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye's practice, he chose a large inn near the water for them. He practiced with peace of mind, while he wandered around the city by himself. He heard a lot of things during this period. The chief military officer had an only son, his talents were mediocre, he had no hope in the imperial examination, and he had no intention of official career. The domineering girl has only one quirk. She likes to let her servants catch cats, dogs, foxes and the like, bend their feet, turn them backwards, and watch their wretches for pleasure.

As a result, a shocking rumor soon spread from the office of the chief military officer, that the only son of the general military officer had his hands and feet broken off, and ended up like a cat, dog, and fox that suffered in his hands. His mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth and thrown in the On the bed, the young man who had already been emptied by wine and lust was obviously seriously injured, but he did not die. The commander-in-chief was furious. After confirming that it was a demon, he spent a lot of money and invited two immortal masters from the caves of the immortal family to descend the mountain to subdue the demon. Of course, there is also the desire to cure the crippled son with the magic of the fairy family.

At that time, Chen Pingan happened to be walking by the Canal River, and saw with his own eyes a group of immortal masters on the mountain entering the city in a small boat from the immortal family.

The leader standing at the bow was actually a monk in the Longmen Realm.

For a vassal like the Meiyang Kingdom, it is a big deal to invite a Longmen realm. It seems that the mansion of the chief soldier is indeed very rich.

In addition to the convenience of Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi's practice, there is actually another more hidden reason for choosing to stay in Jingzhou.

According to the records of the Xianjia Mansion Newspaper of the inn by the Chunhua River, the woman in green and the young man in white, who were born out of nowhere, once stopped the Zhu Ying Dynasty's "one foot already in the Yuan Dynasty" in the sky above the border of Jingzhou. In addition to this confrontation, before and after Jingzhou, the Jindan old sword cultivator of "Infant Realm" had a total of three "stop" fights, and finally killed Jianxiu at the border between the Meiyang Kingdom and the Zhuying Dynasty.

Chen Ping guessed that Cui Dongshan and Miss Ruanxiu were "fishing", luring one or two Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators to leave the mountain, lose the protection of the landscape formation, and then rush to the territory of Meiyang Kingdom regardless, to save the Daoist The Golden Core Sword Cultivator who is hopeful and the country's most important weapon.

Otherwise, with Cui Dongshan's Nascent Soul cultivation base and a magic weapon, it would not be troublesome to deal with a Golden Core Sword Cultivator.

It is very possible that Ruan Qiong, a military strategist, or Xu Ruo, a Mohist family, are hiding in the border area of ​​Meiyang Country. Even if they are both present, Chen Pingan will not be surprised.

It is worthy of being the genealogical master of the monks in the Longmen Realm. After gathering with another group of less powerful colleagues, he cured the noble son, but he will be slightly limping when he walks in the future. He is destined to be unable to lift heavy objects. , using the secret treasure of the fairy family and a spiritual creature, followed the clues, and found the monster that dared to attack the commander's mansion that night. In a bloody battle in the city, the immortal masters were more fierce than each other. The monster has always been just Detours to avoid, danger abounds.

In fact, to be able to torture the only son of the chief soldier in such a human way, sneak in and leave quietly, means that it is easy to kill that young man, but for some reason, the monster didn't kill people, but hurt people.

In the night, Chen Pingan has been watching from the top of the city, standing by.

If it wasn't for that monster being stupid and intentionally or unintentionally choosing a route that is not conducive to fleeing away, there would definitely be heavy casualties in Jingzhou City tonight. as a result of.

In the end, he was still escaped from the city by the monster.

Immortal masters flitted across the city like butterflies, leaving aside those water transport officers and soldiers who could only wave their flags and shout, and continued to chase out of the city. The officers and soldiers in the city must have broken their heads. Even though there are no traces of the monsters, the spirit weapons are still intentionally thrown out one after another, bombarding an open space continuously, extremely gorgeous.

At the same time, the old immortal master of the Longmen Realm who hadn't put all his strength into attacking from the beginning to the end, changed his direction when he left the city, and quietly left the monster hunting army.

Chen Pingan jumped down from the top of the wall and followed him from afar.

In the mountains more than 20 miles away from Jingzhou City, Chen Ping'an stood on the branch of a big tree, watched the old monk fight, and successfully restrained the demon with a silver-white magic weapon. The fox that showed its real body.

The old monk succeeded, and dragged the bloody snow-white fox with the demon rope, and came straight to Chen Ping'an, and asked with a smile: "Why, I want a share of the pie."

Chen Pingan floated to the ground, and said with a smile: "The old immortal master has done a good job. Disciple, go back to the commander-in-chief's mansion and talk about the unruly words of the big monster. Anyway, everyone in the city has seen your actions. Do your best. Do your best and be dazzled. Presumably the big official in the frontier has trouble sleeping and eating, and he has to obediently hand over a large amount of fairy money. I implore the old fairy master to catch the monster to the end. Here, the old fairy master secretly captured the monster. Just find a fox spirit who has just turned into a human form, and hand it over to the commander-in-chief's government, and everyone will be happy."

The old monk stroked his beard and smiled, "You are young, but your eyesight is not bad. Among my stupid disciples, there are some idiots who don't understand. You just glanced at the side and you know the joints. "

Chen Pingan joked: "The old immortal master is probably going to kill people to silence his words?"

The old monk laughed loudly, "I'm not that crazy wild cultivator. For the sake of money, parents, teachers and apprentices can deny it. Come on, you make a price. If the price is fair, it will be an accident that you deserve. The wealth, the horse has no night grass and is not fat."

Chen Pingan asked: "I don't know what the old immortal master used to catch this thing?"

The old monk lifted the rope that bound the monster in his hand, and the monster wailed endlessly, "After all, it is a monster that has worked so hard to reach the sea-watching state. After taking it back to the mountain gate, I trained it to get rid of its hostility, and used it as a mountain guard to enshrine and cultivate. This is also one of its blessings.”

Chen Pingan nodded, and said with a smile: "I don't care if it's true or not. However, I still advise the old fairy master to think carefully and don't catch me with that demon-binding rope."

The old monk's eyes were dim, "You youngster, you really don't know what's good or bad. You treat a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, and you're not afraid that good things will turn into disasters."

Chen Ping wrapped his arms around his sleeves and restrained his smile, "You actually have to be grateful to this monster, otherwise you have committed too many crimes in the city before, and now you are half dead."

The old monk in the Longmen Realm seemed to hear a big joke, and laughed out loud, the leaves trembled and fell down.

Chen Pingan sighed, "There is a way to make money, and what I get is the ill-gotten wealth of the water transport officials. I think it's very good. But in order to make money, I don't care about the lives of the people. Now I have to join hands with others and wait for them to hear about it." It’s not very kind to catch monsters and kill people, to cut grass and roots.”

The old monk looked at the young man who at first appeared to be a sick man.

It's getting worse and worse.

It also became more and more fearful.

For practitioners, once there is a real enmity, it is easy for one party to die, or it will be an entangled century-old grievance.

Chen Pingan said: "I will pay you to buy it, how about it?"

The old monk hesitated.

Chen Ping threw out a jade token.

Qingxia Island's first-class offering.

The old monk didn't dare to reach out to catch it. The monk's secret techniques are so strange that no one dares to take it lightly.

Chen Pingan didn't take back the jade tablet early, let it hover in the air, and the old monk at the Longmen Realm looked at it carefully, and then threw out a grain rain coin, "Now our Qingxia Island is a bit chaotic, and the momentum is not as good as before. You are another The well-known Immortal Genealogy Master of Meiyang Country, otherwise you would be dead right now, and this magic weapon to bind demons would also be in my pocket. If you take the money, just stop a little bit, or you will be with me for the rest of your life. Disciple together, obediently hide on the top of the mountain and practice Taoism with peace of mind."

Chen Ping smiled, "Of course, the price of a piece of Grain Rain money is definitely not fair, but the price is fair, is it worthy of this jade token, right, old fairy?"

Chen Ping patted the sword gourd.

Two flying swords flitted out and disappeared in a flash.

The old monk's eyelids were trembling, he waved his sleeve and pushed, and returned the jade token to the young "Sword Immortal" in the blue padded coat, then accepted the grain rain coin, slapped his head, and said with a smile: "Don't fight!" I don’t know each other, but if fellow Taoists can trust you, you can come to our Longpan Mountain as a guest in the future.”

Chen Ping put away the jade token, and returned the sword gourd on the 15th day of the first day of the junior high school, and said with a smile: "The old immortal master is so good at doing business, I dare not come to give money."

The old monk laughed heartily, shook the demon-binding rope, and the snow-white fox fell to the ground, put away the magic weapon, and said a few tough words, "As long as Qingxia Island stands firmly in Shujian Lake, little Xiaolong Panshan only gives money, dare not accept gifts, it is hot. If Qingxia Island disappears one day, I hope we will not meet again, or it will hurt our feelings."

The old monk was also unambiguous, and left as soon as he said it.

Chen Ping flew up to the branch, and after a while, he floated to the ground, and he was really gone.

The snow-white fox curled up on the ground, while healing his wounds, stared at the young monk with wide eyes.

What a swordsman

After she went down the mountain, she didn't dare to show off in the city, and she didn't see many monks on the mountain, so it was the first time she saw a sword cultivator in her life.

Chen Ping waved his hand, "Let's go, don't show weakness to the enemy. I know that although you can't fight with others, you can walk without hindrance. Remember not to appear in the border of Jingzhou again in the near future."

She blinked.

Chen Pingan joked: "Why, blame me for delaying your great fortune in Longpan Mountain"

She said in a crisp voice: "Longpan Mountain has raised a terrible vicious python. It is a real mountain guard and worships. It likes to devour spirits and monsters. That's why that old villain just lied to you. You must be careful in the future."

Chen Pingan nodded, indicating that he would pay attention, and then he did not go forward, but squatted down on the spot, "Is it strange why I am Yexiu from Shujian Lake, why should I save you?"

She quickly shut her mouth and didn't say a word.

Chen Pingan smiled and threw a small porcelain bottle, which rolled down in front of the snow-white fox, and said, "If you are worried, you can keep it for now."

She finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you drawing, sir?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, in order not to hurt the innocent, you were almost caught in the city, what are you planning?"

She squinted her eyes with a smile, she acted like a raccoon fox, and she looked like a woman in the world, so it was very fun, she said coquettishly: "My lord, we are in the same race!"

It's just that she soon put on a bitter face, a little apologetic.

I always feel that I feel a little sorry for this benefactor.

Because those guys who are lucky enough to be born as humans, among the cursing words, there is a saying that animals are not as good as this.

Chen Ping was noncommittal, and waved his hand, "Let's go, people's hearts are ghosts, it's scary, don't play around in the world relying on your own cultivation, you have already won once in the fight against heaven and earth, and this is how you have today's cultivation Why, you must cherish it more. But when you fight with people, where are the opponents of Shan Zeyexiu and the genealogy master, let's go, even if you can't help but come to the world again in the future, wandering in the market, you must be careful Be careful. Also, in the future, don’t think that you will meet someone like me every time. How can you know whether the good person today will become a bad person in the future?”

She raised one paw lightly, "covered her mouth", and said with a smile, "How can someone who can say that become a bad person? I don't believe it."

Chen Ping put his arms around his sleeves, squatted there, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it, it's up to you, but I can remind you, that old scoundrel in Longpanshan may regret it, and after meeting the other immortal masters, he will kill him." , caught you, and gave that vicious python a meal."

The snow-white fox hesitated for a moment, quickly put away the porcelain vase, and rushed out with a swish, but after running a dozen steps away, it turned its head, stood on its two feet, and bowed farewell like the people in the world.

The young man has been squatting there, but he didn't forget to wave his hand to her.

After the little guy left, Chen Pingan stood up and walked slowly towards Jingzhou City, thinking it was a night tour in the mountains and forests.

Thinking of losing another Gu Yu coin, Chen Pingan sighed and said that he should not be such a prodigal again next time.

It's just that the accountant probably forgot, and he seemed to remind himself like this after the dog meat shop gave away a small sum of money.

Chen Pingan completely forgot about this, and while walking, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, forgetting the world.
