Sword comes

Chapter 455 Report Mr. Returns Home

(The final chapter of this volume.)

At the winter solstice, although the days are short and the shadows are long, it is actually the beginning of the recovery of yang energy in the world.

The emperors and monarchs of all countries in Aquarius Continent will offer sacrifices to the mountain on this day. Even if they can't come in person, they will let the senior officials of the Ministry of Rites go to the mountain temple to burn incense.

Similar to Longquan County, there is also the custom of celebrating the New Year in Meiyang Country. Even if the family is poor, according to local customs, they still have to prepare dumplings, mutton soup or glutinous rice.

Chen Ping San rode back from Jingzhou, the southernmost city of Meiyang Kingdom, eating glutinous rice balls bought in the market.

At a border pass, Chen Pingan stopped his horse and let Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi pass the pass first. Chen Pingan drove his horse to a hill by himself. After reaching the top, an old monk happened to be walking slowly towards the top of the hill. Chen Pingan got off his horse. , the old monk said with a smile in a slightly unfamiliar Aquarius language: "You may not know me, but I am very familiar with you."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Senior worked hard to escort you all the way."

The old monk Yuanying ignored the sarcasm in his words, no one would feel comfortable being followed all the way.

The old monk said with a smile: "I used to be a practitioner of Tongye Sect, so it is really hard to endure this journey."

Chen Pingan asked: "Was it?"

The old monk still suppressed his aura in the realm of the golden core and earth immortal. On the skin, the brilliance flowed, as if the sun and the moon flowed in the small world of his body. He didn't answer this question. To find out some clues, what is it to become the... friend of the Great Sword Immortal?Brothers from the same school?It's hard to say for the time being, but it's possible.It's just that there is no such thing as a blessing in vain in the world, especially on the mountain, where one careless will lose everything.

The old monk stood on the top of the small hill and looked around. The landscape of the Plum Glazed Kingdom was really boring and boring, and the aura was thin, and it was far inferior to Shujian Lake.

There are some secrets that I did not tell this young man. He traveled here with the Yin God out of his body, and the Yang God carried the secret tung leaf card used to monitor himself, so as to cover up his true whereabouts and avoid this incident. The meeting was noticed by Shujian Lake.The reason why he is willing to take such a big risk is naturally due to his deliberate consideration and calculation.The group of outsiders who were treated by Liu Laocheng, a field repairer in Yupu Realm, as guests of Gongliu Island, could be carefully selected and thrown into Shujian Lake, and none of them was a fuel-efficient lamp, and he was naturally no exception.

It's just that on the avenue, if you work hard for someone, you also have to look at the price.

He felt that the price was lower.

Even though he has been determined by the Great Yin-Yang family to be hopeless in the fifth realm, he is still an old Yuanying who is good at fighting and has 200 years of life left. If he is willing to spend a lot of money to hang himself, he may live another 300 years.

After receiving this secret mission, after much deliberation, he always felt that it was a chain of killing people with a borrowed knife. The leader of the upper five realms was used as a knife by others, and even more so by himself.It's a pity that Aquarius Island is not my own territory, there is no foundation, and I have no one to use, otherwise, I will find a knife, the faster one, and the poorer brain. Wealth, of course, may also be a grasshopper on the thread, a few borrowed knives, and everyone will die together. As for the real behind-the-scenes person who even he can't guess the identity, he will be happy and happy.

The old monk asked: "I have a mutually beneficial deal, do you want to do it?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

The old monk smiled and said: "But I need to get a promise from you first. You, Chen Pingan, can't tell anyone about our deal for at least a hundred years."

Chen Pingan asked: "Even if I agree, the question is, do you dare to believe it?"

The old monk nodded and said: "I don't believe it all, but I'm going to take a gamble. Standing here and appearing in front of you is already a kind of proof. As long as I practice on the mountain, as long as I am higher than me, I can't see through the depth, but with Who gets along so long day and night, it's not too difficult depending on temperament. I have met many people like you, most of whom I met when I was young, and it turned out that most of you died early and died halfway, so I just Said that this is a century-old agreement."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, please say something auspicious, senior."

The Nascent Soul monk smiled and said: "If I say some polite words to you, won't you be suspicious? How can you do business?"

Chen Ping felt that this was right.

After about a stick of incense, Chen Pingan drove his horse down the hillside, his already unattractive face turned into a face like gold paper, sitting on the horse's back, crumbling, as if he had experienced a catastrophe of life and death, already weak Physique is almost exhausted.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi, who were so frightened that they stopped their horses and waited after passing the barrier, were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

Previously, inside and outside almost the entire pass, the sword light from the place where Chen Pingan disappeared was seen like a rainbow.

Chen Ping shook his hand, "It's okay, it's settled, let's continue on our way, and there will be no more incidents on the way back from this trip. It's still the old rule. You won't return to Shujian Lake with me then."

On the other side of the hillside, the monk Yuan Ying had already removed the blinding magic power, and it turned out to be an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman with a bead of blood slowly oozing from the center of her eyebrows, which she gently wiped away with her fingers, but the traces were gone. In the eyes of any middle-five monk, it is an extremely eye-catching existence after a little scrutiny.

It is safe to do business with that young man. After the two parties made up their minds to do business, they carefully considered the details, and the young man responded appropriately after a few trials.

She looked towards the sky, bowed and saluted, reverent and fearful, and tremblingly said: "Li Fuchu is so vulgar, I can only offend gentlemen, I dare not offend villains, it's impolite."

After a while, the world was silent.

The woman laughed dumbfounded, probably because she was thinking too much.

Now that Aquarius Continent is in chaos, there are too many saints who need to keep an eye on people and things. Beiju Luzhou Heavenly Monarch Xie Shi, Great Li Fan King Song Changjing, Emperor Zhuying Dynasty, etc., can’t get their turn. She and that Chen Pingan, even though Liu Zhimao, who was detained at the bottom of the water prison, said that Chen Pingan now wears the saint jade tablet of "I am good at cultivating noble energy", but what about the accompanying saint sitting in the sky of Yizhou? , she knows some inside stories, as long as there is no too surprising fight in the world, she will not divert her gaze and take a glance. The sage of Tongyezhou noticed it immediately.

But be careful sailing for thousands of years.

Some proper etiquette, after all, is better than little, better than nothing.

After leaving the pass of Meiyang Country and about to enter Shujian Lake, Chen Pingan was near a rural village. He turned his head to look at the two uninterested guys behind him, and said with a hoarse smile, "I'm worrying you. Thinking about things along the way.”

Ma Duyi covered his heart, "Mr. Chen, you finally came back to life. You were either in a daze or frowning along the way. It's been a long time since I've had a drink. Both of us are about to die of fright."

Zeng Ye nodded vigorously.

Chen Pingan comforted softly: "I'm sorry that I encountered something that I couldn't figure out for a while."

Ma Duyi asked with a smile: "Have you figured it out now?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "I still haven't figured out the reason, but I've settled for the next best thing, and I've roughly figured out how to deal with it."

Ma Duyi said worriedly: "Are you all right?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "It's all right."

Ma Duyi hesitated, "Then Mr. Chen, take a sip of wine and show us, otherwise we won't worry."

Zeng Ye looked embarrassed.

Of course, Chen Pingan didn't really take a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "You guys stop here, remember not to disturb the people nearby, practice hard, supervise each other, and don't slack off. I will strive to come and meet with you in the spring of next year at the latest. When you meet, maybe it can be earlier. At that time, we will go to the south of Shujian Lake, where miasma will be rampant, there will be many mountains and lakes, and it is said that there will be evil cultivators and people in the magic way. There are many dangers in the country, so don't delay too much, you two."

Ma Duyi snorted coldly.

Zeng Ye hurriedly promised to practice diligently.

Chen Pingan rode away alone.

But before leaving, I handed the golden demon-binding rope and a few talismans to Ma Duyi in case of accidents, and remember to hide the demon-binding rope well, and don't let it appear easily, once Guo Lu Yexiu sees it, it will be a sure thing disaster.

When matters of life and death were involved, Ma Duyi didn't dare to be negligent, and he didn't make any jokes. He just reassured Mr. Chen that they would never be so careless.

Chen Ping'an was sleeping in a wilderness that day, and the evil spirit was quite strong. It was almost certain that there was a ghost hiding in it, but it happened that nothing happened overnight, which made Chen Ping'an a little strange. The concealment is extremely deep, and most of it is related to the luck of the mountain root in a place, so I had to give up.

Ride away slowly.

Worrying.

According to the veiled statement of the old Yuanying monk Li Fuqu, the envoy who sent her to leave Gongliu Island was a monk of the upper five realms of the Tongye Sect. When Mao was alive, he was also quite powerful. The current patriarch of Tongye Sect would call him uncle.

This is not the thing that worries Chen Pingan the most.

The really scary thing is that this big monk of Tongyezong is now enshrined by Yuguizong, and it is Yuguizong who is about to choose Shujian Lake, Baopingzhou, as the foundation of the next sect!

Yu Guizong, the old man surnamed Xun who appeared in the Dust Pharmacy in Old Dragon City, the place where he would practice Taoism in the future on the right side of the Sui Dynasty, and Jiang Shangzhen who appeared earlier in Qinghu Palace.

Among them, Jiang Shangzhen is more likely to be the first suzerain in the history of Yuguizong's next sect, but there is no conclusive statement on Yuguizong's ancestor hall, so there are still variables.

Because Jiang Shangzhen has not rushed to Aquarius Island for a long time, which is also one of the evidences.

As for the chief priest of the next sect, it was naturally Liu Laocheng of Gongliu Island.

That Nascent Soul cultivator Li Fuqu said so much.

Since Jiang Shangzhen, who likes to join in the fun the most, did not show up, but the ambitious ancestor of the Yuantong Yezong became the pioneer of the Yuguizong. Break your wrists and fight for the position of the next suzerain.

No wonder Li Fuqu followed her all the way, waiting for an opportunity.

It's no wonder that Su Gaoshan is not false to him. You must know that even Tan Yuanyi knows part of the Lubo Pavilion files, and knows that he is inextricably linked with Dali. Su Gaoshan, who does not put Tan Yuanyi in his eyes at all, will only Knowing more, at such a high position as Su Gaoshan, although it is impossible to use the Lvboting spies wantonly, it is not difficult to check the files, and even learn more inside stories than Tan Yuanyi.

Fortunately, Li Fuqu was cautious enough to be in awe of the unpredictable impermanence.

It was only then that he played a bitter game with himself, each with its own losses.

Of course, it is to meet again from somewhere on the border of the pass beyond the hillside.

The news that a little scar could be poked between the eyebrows of an old Yuanying was spread, and no one believed it.

But as long as Liu Laocheng doesn't have the determination to entrap himself, and doesn't take the initiative to reveal his true details, after all, it means that Liu Laocheng will harm others and not benefit himself, and will completely tear him apart from a future first-class enshrinement of Yu Guizong's next sect. It's embarrassing, as long as Liu Laocheng doesn't say anything, or ambiguously speaks something innocuous, then the ancestor of Yuantong Yezong will probably be suspicious, and that's enough.

However, on the hillside, Chen Pingan still didn't mention the reminder about Liu Laocheng's summoning with Liu Zhimao's flying sword, and didn't use it as an instant reward for not spending half a coin just because he wanted Li Fuqu to form an alliance. As a reassurance, he expressed his affection to Li Fuqu.

There are some things that cannot be done.

Otherwise, Chen Ping'an would really have to reflect on himself and weigh his own conscience, whether he has become a complete letter Konosuke.

It doesn't matter whether it's Chen Ping'an or Li Fuqu.

They didn't even know that after the two sides left the pass one after another, there were faint ripples on the frontier city, and the reality was uncertain. Finally, an acquaintance figure that both sides actually knew appeared.

If Li Fuzhi knew about this, it is estimated that his Dao heart would be shattered.

Because this uninvited guest is the No. 1 Aquarius Island Wild Xiu, Liu Laocheng, who is even more likely to enter the fairyland after getting the piece of the glazed golden body that Taoist Qi Zhen would grab.

When he left Shujian Lake this time, he was supposed to go to Su Gaoshan to discuss important matters, of course he did, but how and when to return to Gongliu Island, no one can control Liu Laocheng.

Even the upper five-level monk who transferred from Tongyezong to Yuguizong and stole a treasure from the Patriarch Hall didn't dare to restrain Liu Laocheng too much, let alone try it casually again and again.

Yexiu of the upper five realms, even in Tongye Continent, which is far wider than Aquarius Continent, is an extremely difficult existence.

No matter why Liu Laocheng appeared there at that time, Liu Laocheng waved his sleeves and put away his supernatural powers of palm viewing mountains and rivers that were almost cultivated in the fairyland. A mountain wilderness must have one or several special specialties, A killer move or magic weapon with great lethal power but extremely hidden. The tortoise shell protects the natal creatures of the yin and yang gods. Escape and spy. Live longer.

Li Fuju rose from the ground, and the rainbow flew away, and the sky over the pass shook like winter thunder, rumbling.

Liu Laocheng appeared behind him, and said with a smile, "My boy, you're smart if you talk about morals in the world. Otherwise...hehe."

Liu Laocheng passed away in a flash.

This kind of life hangs by a thread, and that kind of ghost gate hidden on Yangguan Road, even if Chen Pingan walked through it himself, he still didn't realize it.

This is often the case in the world, but most of the time, it is not a matter of life and death, but a lighter matter, such as inexplicable opportunities, loss of power without warning, disputes for no reason, sudden good luck, a piece of Cases, piles, all make people confused, or ecstatic, or complain endlessly.

It seems that everything has a definite number, but in fact it is not destiny but human beings.

People are doing it, and the sky is watching. Even if the sky is not watching, everyone else is watching.

As for what to do, each person has his or her own destiny, which is nothing more than the different choices of their own circumstances. Treating people with sincerity, seeking profit only, and muddling along can all be the foundation of one's life. The only thing that is ridiculous lies in such a simple truth , Good people and bad people, many people don't know, it's still useless to know, comfort yourself that the world is like this, the reason is useless.After all, everyone can go to every moment, and there are potential reasons beyond the text to support each person. The most fundamental thoughts and contexts of each person are like the most critical beams and pillars. It is not easy and even more difficult. It is like repairing the attic of a house, adding bricks and tiles, but it costs money. If the beams and columns are shaking, the house will inevitably be unstable. Or just want to replace the tiles and repair the window paper?Naturally, it is a tough thing that is tantamount to hurting one's muscles and bones and asking for trouble. Few people can do it. The older and more experienced, it means that the existing house is more used to living, so it is more difficult Change.Once tribulations are imminent and you are in a difficult situation, at that moment, it is better to think about how the world is like this, and everyone is like this, and then borrow a few muddled sayings about life from the book for temporary peace of mind. Seeing other people's more pitiful things is all reasonable thoughts.

Chen Ping'an approached Shujian Lake, but suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped towards the Meiyang Kingdom.

But instead of reuniting with Zeng Ye Ma Duyi, he gave up his mount and raised it in the mountains. As for whether we can meet again in the future, it depends on fate.

Chen Pingan went directly from a deserted path that only woodcutters walked, across the mountain border on foot, and found a person.

A young monk who can subdue the Mind Ape.

At the foot of the cliff, Chen Pingan stopped, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the grotto above.

The young monk got up from the futon, didn't seem surprised, returned the salute, and then stretched out a palm, signaling Chen Pingan to just climb up the cliff.

Chen Ping'an walked this way, even if he didn't feel that anyone was following him, he still walked not too fast, and pretended that his breathing was not as smooth as usual. As for the weather inside, he had Li Fuqu's unique secret method to help cover it up, but he still needed to be careful everywhere. Otherwise, if you harm others and yourself, you will not only implicate Li Fuqu, but also put yourself in danger.

Like a monkey climbing up a rock in a mountain forest.

The young monk stood on the other side of the narrow grotto. After Chen Pingan stood still, he sat down cross-legged inside, but gave the futon to the guest.

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, but still sat on the futon.

As for the heart ape, he kept his eyes closed, as if in a sound sleep.

The young monk said: "I'm from Tongyezhou. I'm not familiar with the elegant words of Aquarius Island. I only know superficially about Buddhism. There are two barriers between you and me. As far as words are concerned, once there is a distance between the meaning of Buddhism and the words of Buddhist scriptures, I dare not speak falsely."

Chen Pingan smiled with Tongyezhou's elegant words: "Fortunately, I have traveled to Tongyezhou, and I can speak the elegant words there, and I can barely break a small obstacle."

The young and haggard monk smiled slightly, "Does the benefactor know that there is a saying in Tongyezhou that 'don't come out of the bull's head school'?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm extremely ignorant about Buddhism, and I didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with Buddhist scriptures during my previous travels."

The young monk raised a single palm in front of his body, "I don't know, let's get rid of the barriers in my heart."

Chen Pingan thought together, but gently suppressed it.

After all, the matter of subduing Xinyuan is the great opportunity for the monk in front of him. Outsiders should not mention it lightly, just want to ask some doubts in their hearts.

But the young monk laughed and said: "The almsgiver has a predestined relationship with Buddhism, and you and I have a predestined relationship. The former is visible to the naked eye, while the latter is faintly visible. It must be that the almsgiver once walked through a mountain when he traveled to the north of Tongyezhou. A little spirit who seems to have lost his mind, muttering words, constantly asking 'how can such a heart become a Buddha', right or wrong?"

Chen Ping was dumbfounded.

The young monk smiled slightly, "Yes."

The young monk looked out of the grotto, as if he saw thousands of miles away from a continent, and said slowly: "You asked the right question, I can't give you the answer."

The young monk continued: "I was both a master and a disciple on the way to learn the scriptures. It was a stick, killing countless people. At that time, the road to learning the scriptures was actually broken again, and it was broken again and again, without turning back. I still don’t know it. I traveled far away from continent to continent. In the world, I finally saw the pure land of the Buddha, but I turned my head back, and my hands and hearts were empty."

The young monk sighed and looked at Chen Pingan, "Benefactor, ask."

Chen Pingan slowly expressed some doubts in his mind, both in Buddhist scriptures and in the world.

The young monk used Buddhism to solve his doubts.

Chen Pingan only read a few Buddhist scriptures recommended by Cui Dongshan, and he had no idea about the rather complicated faction inheritance of Buddhism, and he didn't particularly care about them.

Purely out of a pious question, I listened to the answer of this traveling monk in Tongyezhou.

Among them, Chen Ping'an was deeply impressed, and among them was the study of Yin Ming.

One question and one answer, in addition to the answers, the young monks also extended, some sayings, there are obvious traces of Confucianism, Taoism and theories of a hundred schools of thought, and the monks have no scruples about this.

When Chen Pingan had no more questions, the young monk smiled and said: "Don't be afraid that if you ask about Buddhism, you will escape from meditation. This is a misunderstanding of the world."

Chen Ping smiled and nodded.

He does respect Buddhism, but he doesn't really want to become a monk.

After that, I talked with the young monk about the experience of the Xinxiang Temple in Ouhua Blessed Land, especially the chat with the old monk, and I told the young monk one by one.

The monk listened carefully, and occasionally understood, and then sang softly.

Finally, Chen Ping stood up from the futon, took a step back, and bowed his hands together again facing the young monk, "I have solved my doubts."

The young monk then got up, bowed his head and sang to the Buddha, muttering: "As you have gone, as you have come, my lord, Shenxiu."

Chen Pingan exited the grotto and returned to the cliff by the same route.

The young monk looked at the futon, put his palms together again, and repeated the second half of the sentence, "Your Majesty Shenxiu."

Chen Pingan didn't understand the meaning behind it.

I just remembered that there was indeed a high mountain and a big wall in my hometown, and the four characters "Tiankai Shenxiu" were engraved on it. In the earliest days, I went there with people, but Chen Ping'an's eyesight was not good at that time. , plus the clouds and mist, even if you look up, you can't see clearly.Later, it was Wei Bo who took him to travel around Beiyue's jurisdiction, so he was able to meet him.At that time, I felt that the reason why Master Ruan chose that mountain as the origin of the sect was because of the word "Xiu" in Miss Ruan's name.

Chen Pingan returned to the border of Meiyang Country, and found the horse in the mountains. After seeing Chen Pingan, it galloped towards him, very intimate.

Chen Ping patted the horse's back lightly, and joked: "I just found out that we are both thin. But you are okay, knocking the thin bone forward, and you still have a copper sound. My name is skinny, and I don't have a few catties of meat. Blow it down."

Get on the horse and go straight to Shujian Lake.

The sword is wrong at the waist, and the sword gourd is hung.

It's just that the current Chen Ping'an reckons that he looked like this at the beginning, and there will be no sinister knocks on the door of Ziyang Mansion that night.

It's no wonder that the old swordsmen in the rivers and lakes on the other side of the pass are left behind. If you want to say that not all the blue-clothed swordsmen are the sword fairy.

Chen Pingan entered Shujian Lake again from Green Tong City, and still kept the horses in the inn in Green Tong City, and went to that back alley, where he bought four cheap and good-quality meat buns at the bun shop, just like the current shop , compared with half a year ago, the business is much colder, and the young shopkeeper looks sluggish and often sighs.Chen Ping gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun along the way, found the ferry at the ferry, cleaned it up, and punted back to Qingxia Island.

As the new year approaches, Shujian Lake is now even worse than last year, even worse than that meat bun shop. At the end of last year, there were three consecutive heavy snowfalls, and Shujian Lake’s aura increased significantly. Even practitioners who are very indifferent to the New Year are like It's been a really good year.I never thought that this year is not yet over, there are already such fields, including Qingxia Island, more than a thousand islands need to hand over half of their property, and pay tribute to the big Li cavalry under Su Gaoshan's command, and some of them are related to the Zhuying Dynasty and the vassals. The islands related to Hao Country and Meihuang Country are really miserable, not to mention hurting their vitality, and they are not pleasing to both sides.

The most frightening thing is that Tan Yuanyi of Lisu Island, together with Mr. Tianhu of Sulin Island and Yu Hui, joined forces with all the island's ancestors who have earth immortal monks, such as the couple of Huangli Island, to form an alliance again. This time there is no dispute , extremely sincere cooperation, took the initiative to use the four cities including the lakeside pool and Lutong as "passes", and stretched out an encirclement line. Any monk who dared to abscond with the island's money without permission will be arrested and handed over to the Dali Iron Cavalry. The persons in charge stationed here include an iron cavalry general, a civil official, and two monks accompanying the army. The four of them were stationed in the city respectively, and a network of heaven and earth surrounded tens of thousands of mountains. He scalped and cut flesh on himself, and boxes of immortal money were continuously transported to Chishui City. During this period, many accidents and conflicts occurred. After the death of nearly a hundred Shan Zeye cultivators, among them were two Golden Core cultivators, Shujian Lake. Only then did he finally calm down, obediently behave with his tail between his legs.

It is said that this is the first round.

In the future, some large islands will be allowed by the Dali Iron Cavalry. The big fish will eat the small fish and shrimps together, and wantonly develop the vassal islands. In the end, there are more than a thousand islands in Shujian Lake. In the future, there will be [-]% fewer visits to the patriarchal halls, large and small, and the incense will be cut off, and they will be completely reduced to the vassal of Da Dao.In this bloody process, all the monks who dare to resist have only one fate waiting for them. It is rumored that Su Gaoshan will set up a new position with no rank, the monk who leads the horse, which means to give those regular Dali soldiers The monks, as their horse-leading retinue, once Su Gaoshan tore through the plum glaze defense line, together with Cao Ping's army, and the two cavalry divided into five places, they would work together to form a huge encirclement circle against the Zhuying Dynasty. The monk, the only luck is that he can accumulate military merits by fighting with Zhu Ying's border army on the battlefield, and is expected to become a monk at the bottom of the army.It's just ten horse-leading monks, whether two or three of them can survive and become army monks, God knows.Even if he became a monk accompanying the army, what should he do if the Dali Iron Cavalry had to go south?

This statement has been spread with nose and eyes.Because it can withstand scrutiny, Su Gaoshan, that big li barbarian who is crazy about money, can really do this kind of trick.

But now that the hearts of the people are scattered, and the big forces have long been torn apart, who dares to take the lead in rebelling?

Now, in the book slip, Hu Yexiu, everyone thinks of Liu Zhimao. At that time, everyone was afraid that Liu Zhimao would enter the upper five realms, but now they only hate Liu Zhimao for not concentrating on cultivating the Tao, otherwise, why would he be a prisoner of Gongliu Island? Can't stand for Shujian Lake?

Chen Pingan landed on Qingxia Island, and sat in the mountain gate room for a while, and found that there was no dust, and quickly relieved that Gu Can should have done it.

It seems to have violated the agreement between the two parties, but it is actually a good thing.

Chen Ping walked out of the house and glanced at the lake view.

There are many islands to go through along the way, presumably interested people have already known the news.

It's just that today is different from the past, there are no more visitors. In fact, the last time Chen Pingan returned to Shujian Lake from Shihao Country, it was already such a lonely scene.

Yu Hui, the owner of Zizhu Island, Liu Chongrun of Zhuchai Island and other island owners came to visit one after another. It was as lively as if Chen Pingan was the lord of Shujian Lake.

Rich has distant relatives in the mountains, and no one asks the poor in the downtown.

Since ancient times.

Chen Pingan was happy to be quiet, so he went to the ruins of Hengbo Mansion to stay for a while, and if he had a look, he would be able to experience the danger of cultivating Taoism on the mountain.

This time, Gu Can quickly came to the ruins of Hengbo Mansion and stood beside Chen Pingan, "I thought you would not come back until after a year."

Chen Pingan said with emotion: "The next step is to go to the mountains south of Shujian Lake, it may take a little more time."

Gu Can nodded.

Chen Pingan asked: "Has Mr. Tianhu looked for you?"

Gu Can said: "I've looked for it, and I spoke more sincerely, and advised me to take the initiative to lower my profile, saying that since I was born in Longquan County, I have a lot of capital, so I might as well go to Chishui City to find a young woman." The monk who accompanied the army said that at such an age, he must be able to garrison Chishui City. He must have a lot of background. If he has a relationship with this person, he may be able to find a safe situation. But I don’t dare to believe her. Now she, Han Jingling and Huang He, Get closer in private."

Chen Pingan thought for a while, "The reason why she persuaded you to go to Chishui City is not a lie, but it may not be able to get her result. You didn't agree to go to Chishui City to find the Dali army monk. It is not wrong. ...Because you don't know what kind of temperament that so-called military monk with a strong background has, and whether Han Jingling and Huang He have tripped you up. I don't know, but I can say something about him. It's normal, for example, if the young monk was really a descendant of the Dali Hao clan, but he was able to join the army and serve as a monk with the army who had to go to battle, it meant that this person was not only arrogant, but also unwilling to rely on his family to make things happen. , and the aristocratic family, often even if they understand your behavior in Shujian Lake, they will not approve of it, because they are familiar with the official rules and recognize that set of rules of conduct. So, I am not saying that you will not go to Chishui City , it must be right, but it must not be wrong.”

Gu Can turned to look at Chen Ping'an, and asked with a smile, "How do you know this?"

Chen Ping pointed to his eyes, then pointed to his head, "If you look more and think more, you will make fewer mistakes, and you will always be ready to know your mistakes and correct them. Apart from life and death, everything will be left to you. There is some leeway, and there is a retreat. The road cannot be narrowed, or one day you will suddenly find yourself in a dead end."

Gu Can squatted down, picked up a piece of gravel, and threw it casually, "Don't you also say that it is better to have broken jade than to be whole?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "That was the time when there was no choice. On this point, you have to think clearly about what it means to have no choice, and why you have reached the point where you have nowhere to go. Think again, there is no choice." There is no possibility, there is no unparalleled road, in fact, there are still options."

Chen Pingan also squatted down and picked up a piece of green glazed tile that was overridden by the secular dynasty, "You may find it a bit complicated now, that's because you haven't built this vein yet, so it's annoying and troublesome. It's actually not that difficult , It's like a person walking between mountains and rivers, paving roads when encountering mountains, and building bridges when encountering waters. As long as you know how to pave roads and build bridges, you will find that in fact, when mountains and rivers block the road, the difficulties in life are not so difficult to overcome, of course , Knowing how to build roads and bridges, how to find those materials, it will be very tiring, picking stones by yourself, chopping firewood on the mountain by yourself, really running out of money, and you have to borrow credit from friends, or even have to humbly talk to people you don’t like. People borrow money to pave roads and build bridges, but when you cross the river and climb the mountain, you will find that everything is worth it. What's more, you may not succeed in the end, but only at that moment , you can just say a word, I have a clear conscience, and I am still in a desperate situation, so let’s talk about what you said earlier, it is better to be broken than to be whole, which is in line with the principle of order.”

Gu Can lowered her head and murmured, "In Shujian Lake, that's what you did."

Chen Pingan lowered his head and blew away the dust from the green glazed tile, and hummed, "To tell you something you may not want to hear, I realized the difference between us after I arrived at Qingxia Island and was very disappointed in you. It’s ugly, but it’s my truth, listen first. That’s when we first walked out of the Lizhu Cave, we were all afraid of this world, right?”

Gu Can nodded vigorously.

Chen Ping said slowly: "But we have chosen different principles. I am carefully examining this strange world. For all the people who appear around me, I will do my best to see their true thoughts and learn from them. They are good, think about how they can become strong. As for you, it is to explore a shortcut that saves worry and effort. I can understand all your hardships on Qingxia Island and how you treat your mother. I have to admire you for your protection, but there are some things that I can tell you Gu Can without being close to you and knowing your suffering, Gu Can, you did the right thing. In fact, things in the world are clearly right and wrong. Don't think that people's hearts are complicated, and even the most basic right and wrong are confused. I am here to say something even more stupid. Even if you are a bad person, you should know what you are and how many rules you have broken. Such a bad person , to be able to harm Yi for thousands of years. You don’t understand these things, and you used to like to pretend that you didn’t understand.”

Gu Can sighed, and complained: "It's not your fault, you came to Shujian Lake so late, if you tell me this earlier, I'm sure I can listen to it."

Chen Pingan was not angry at all, it was just a child's habitual stubbornness, but it was a manifestation of approval in his heart.

It was completely different from the first meal at the Chunting Mansion's dinner table earlier, and Gu Can's admission that night that he "likes to kill people".

Chen Ping rubbed Gu Can's head.

Gu Can lowered her head.

Chen Pingan said softly: "If your mother secretly tells you that one day in the future, she will deliberately plan an assassination in Chunting Mansion, so that I can stay on Qingxia Island and be the door god for you two, don't promise her, Because it's useless, but there's no need to argue with her, because it's also useless, have you ever thought that the one who can really change your mother's thoughts is not even your father, but you?"

Gu Can raised her head with a look of shock.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Why, I already told you?"

Gu Can sighed and muttered, "I'm a little afraid of you, Chen Ping'an."

Chen Pingan put down the glazed tile in his hand, and said hoarsely: "That was in the small town back then, I hid it well, and I didn't tell you many bad things."

Gu Can laughed, "It's true, I didn't think about these things at that time, I just wanted you to buy this and that all day long, every time you bring copper coins back to Niping Lane from Longyao, I feel like it's New Year's Eve , By the way, don't you really care about money?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "If I were someone else, I would feel distressed. I never felt distressed when I was with you. At first, I thought about repaying the kindness, but later I didn't. I got used to it."

Gu Can suddenly asked a question, "Then have you ever thought that your friend might feel a burden?"

Chen Pingan smiled, "That's a good question."

Gu Can chuckled.

Chen Pingan raised his arm, drew a long line, and said seriously to Gu Can: "First, our life, under normal circumstances, is very likely to be longer than that of ordinary people, so we have to take a long-term view and think more about it." Good people, good things, I have traveled all over the world, I have seen thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, on the road of life, I will also encounter hurdles that I can’t get over, and things I can’t figure out. At that time, I will come to you for help, no I would be embarrassed, that's why I told you before that a good friend relationship, like that old wine cellar, will be fragrant for a year."

Chen Ping gently clenched his fists, "Second, Gu Can, have you ever thought that I have met many people who made me feel ashamed? Yes, in fact there are more than one or two, even in Shujian Lake, there are Su Xinzhai and Zhou Guonian, even if they put aside their relationship with you, just meeting them still makes me feel uneasy, thinking how can there be such a good...people, ghosts in the world?"

Chen Pingan looked at Gu Can, watching the subtle changes in his eyes and face.

And made no secret of his observations.

Gu Can and Chen Ping'an looked at each other, "Chen Ping'an, can I ask you something? Can you send my mother out of Shujian Lake? For example, go back to Niping Lane, or send it to my father."

Chen Pingan asked, "What about you?"

Gu Can said: "You said that there is a price to be paid for being reasonable or unreasonable. I understand the price of being unreasonable. I also want to try the price of being reasonable. The mountains south of Shujian Lake On the trip, Zeng Ye and I will go together, you just need to send my mother away from Shujian Lake."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Okay."

It's like I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

Gu Can put his hands on his sleeves, and Chen Pingan also put his hands on his sleeves, looking at the ruins together.

Afterwards, Gu Can returned to Chunting Mansion, and regarding the new agreement with Chen Pingan, she didn't say a single word to her mother, only said some words to comfort her.

And Chen Pingan went to Chishui City.

The Da Li Tai Ping all right card is not enough to see Su Gaoshan's face, but to see a monk who is stationed in the army with the army.

As a result, after entering the heavily guarded Fan's mansion, they saw the young monk, and they both looked at each other in blank dismay.

Guan Yiran.

Chen Pingan.

Where in life do not meet.

Guan Yiran was very polite, enthusiastic and sincere.

But when Chen Pingan said that he would send Gu Canniang from Qingxia Island to Longquan County, Guan Yiran did not agree, but dealt with business affairs, saying that this matter can be big or small, he can't make a decision on his own, and he must report it to the general Su Gaoshan.

Of course, Chen Pingan had no objection.

That's the way things should be done.

Human relationship is confused, public and private are not distinguished, it seems to be a shortcut to stepping into the door, human relationship is extremely smooth, temporary friendship is sweet, but in fact one after another is left on the road of life, maybe one day there will be retribution.

Guan Yiran said that within ten days, half a month at the latest, the general would give an answer, whether good or bad, he would notify Chen Pingan as soon as possible.

We talked about business.

The two had another drink, and Chen Pingan treated them.

For example, the last time Guan Yiran was at the gate of the city of Shihao Country, the young Dali monk jokingly said that he could renege on anything, but the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu could not owe him Guan Yiran's wine.

Although Guan Yiran is the grand-great-great-grandson of the head of the Guan family in Dalidongliang, as Chen Pingan guessed before, the more ambitious the sons and daughters of officials and eunuchs, the more important they are to the word rules. Coming here, Guan Yiran is very likely to let him get shut out, and Huang He and others have indeed been listening to Guan Yiran's side recently, and their sinister intentions are not very clever. Knowing that the Guan family has been the mainstay of Dali's officialdom for 200 years, he has seen too much about this. Guan Yiran even feels that Huang He and others are not smart enough. Even if he can exchange a Gu Can for short-term benefits, at least he will Don't try to catch up with Guan Yiran's line. Huang He may have thought of the gains and losses, but the benefits in front of him are too tempting to think of, because it is impossible to imagine the depth of Guan Yiran's family background. He has never revealed his identity to outsiders.

But these inside stories, just like Chen Pingan never leaked Liu Laocheng's reminder to Li Fuyu, even if Guan Yiran felt that Chen Pingan was sympathetic, he would not use Huang He, Sulin Daotianhu Jun, and the others as gossip Talk about wine.

Ten days later, Chishuicheng Feijian summoned Qingxia Island, and Guan Yiran told Chen Ping'an that General Su Gaoshan had personally agreed to come down. Gu Can's mother could return to Longquan County on the ferry of the fairy family, but she was not allowed to bring too much fairy money. , or the treasures of Qingxia Island’s Secret Treasury. At the same time, in exchange, Chen Pingan must hand over the Dali Peace and Peace card, return it to Dali, and sell it at the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to completely losing the amulet of the first-class monk in Dali. If you want to get another piece in the future, you have to rely on meritorious service in exchange for it.

Chen Pingan also agreed without hesitation.

At the Chunting mansion, when the woman heard the news suddenly, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, as if hearing the terrible news.

After calming down a bit, she saw that Chen Pingan and Gu Can did not speak in tacit agreement, and the woman seemed to accept her fate, so she asked Chen Pingan what to do with Gu Can, and said that if Gu Can did not leave Shujian Lake together, she would not die. Will leave Qingxia Island.

Gu Can looked at Chen Ping'an.

Chen Pingan said: "We can leave together. I can go to the mountains south of Shujian Lake by myself."

Gu Can asked, "Is my mother safe and sound when she returns to Mud Ping Lane?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Whether it's Su Gaoshan or Guan Yiran, as long as you agree, you can believe it. If you are really worried, I also hope that you can go back with your mother. There are some things that you just want to do sincerely. It's all in time."

Gu Can fell into deep thought.

The woman timidly asked: "Can I come back in the future?"

Chen Pingan said: "There is such a chance, but I can't guarantee it right now."

Afterwards, the woman asked many details about returning home, and Chen Pingan answered them one by one. Obviously, Chen Pingan thought of everything she thought of, and even thought of what the woman didn't think of.

This made the heartbroken woman feel a little better.

You can take away part of the savings of Chunting Mansion, such as a large pile of fairy money, and you can also pick out five to six maids in the mansion, calligraphy, painting and antiques, and there are also three big boxes.She can even let her choose ten spiritual weapons and one magic weapon from the secret storehouse on Qingxia Island.

After that, the woman moved like an ant, full of fighting spirit, radiating a brilliance similar to that of swallows holding mud in Niping Lane to supplement their household.

Chen Pingan no longer cared about these things, it was Gu Can who was with her all the time.

In the end, Gu Can came to the house at the gate of the mountain to find Chen Pingan, and said that he planned to accompany his mother on this trip, otherwise he was still worried.

Chen Ping smiled and agreed.

The two sat on the small bamboo chair made by Chen Pingan himself, basking in the warm winter sun.

Gu Can asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back if I go?"

Chen Pingan shook his head: "The things I fear most have happened and I have faced them, so it's hard to be disappointed."

Gu Can was holding the charcoal hand stove that Chen Pingan handed over earlier, "I'm sorry."

Chen Ping smiled and said: "It's the same, I also made the worst plan at the time, I told you the same before, I had a ten-year relationship with a girl, if I really want to spend so many years in Shujian Lake , I will also leave for a while, take a trip to Daoxuan Mountain and the Great Wall of Sword Qi, met her, and told her the reasons for the incident, and then return to Shujian Lake, what do you think? Go, as long as you really The ones will come back, ten or a hundred years later, it doesn’t matter if it’s later.”

Chen Ping turned his head, "But I told you in advance that if you come late, you might as well not come at all."

Gu Can nodded and said, "No. Trust me once."

Chen Pingan nodded.

At the end of this year, Shujian Lake has not even snowed.

One day, Mr. Tianhu of Sulin Island personally ordered a Qingxia Island boat to dock at the ferry, and the woman boarded the ferry with six of the most pleasing maids and maids and boxes.

Chen Pingan stood on the bow of the boat with Gu Can.

Except for saying hello at the beginning, Mr. Tianhu didn't show up again. I don't know if he was judging the situation or feeling guilty, but he didn't show up anyway.

Gu Can asked softly: "For this matter, it's costing again."

Chen Pingan carried the charcoal cage to keep warm, "I used to fight for water for your family at night, and I beat others many times. Even after I became a kiln worker, I went back to the town to do farm work for my family whenever I was free. The gossip and gossip that came out were so ugly that I almost didn't collapse back then. That kind of discomfort is not at all better than giving some external things now. In fact, it will be more difficult. It will make me feel tied up, and I feel that it is not good to help, and it is not good to not help. No, everything is wrong."

Gu Can actually didn't care much about the gossip of these gossip women, so she lightly bumped Chen Pingan with her shoulder, "Chen Pingan, let me tell you a secret. In fact, I always thought that you would really be my father. It’s not bad, if it’s another man who dares to enter my house to see if I don’t urinate in his rice bowl or pour dung into his rice bowl.”

Chen Pingan's face darkened instantly, and he slapped Gu Can hard on the head.

Gu Can said with a playful smile, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Immediately, Gu Can was a little sad, "To be honest, I really don't have the slightest impression of that father. I don't even know what else to say when we meet."

Chen Pingan sighed, "Take your time."

When they arrived at Chishui City, Guan Yiran greeted him personally, and had a pleasant chat with Chen Pingan after he disembarked, which surprised Mr. Tian Hu who was staying in the cabin on the top floor.

Gu Can and Chen Ping said goodbye, and said: "Don't worry, I will come back soon, maybe you can leave Shujian Lake earlier than expected, and then go to your own business."

Carrying the charcoal cage, Chen Pingan nodded and watched them leave. On the Fanshi Baiyu Square in Chishui City, there was already a Xianjia ferry dispatched by Su Gaoshan himself. A Golden Core cultivator was sitting in it. A monk in the army.

Now the entire northern part of Aquarius Continent is the territory of Dali. In fact, even if there is no Jindan Dixian, there will not be too much risk.

The ferry slowly lifted off.

Chen Ping withdrew his gaze, Guan Yiran stood beside him, and said with a smile: "I just heard about your matter before, and I knew that there was a strange accountant on Qingxia Island, so I didn't pay much attention to it. After I found out that it was you, I Recently, I picked up some Liuxu Island mansion newspapers, and picked up some Lvbo Pavilion intelligence, and got to know it in depth, and I have to say, it is really the most stupid way."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Bricks are ground to make mirrors, and snow is to be used as food. What if it really happens?"

Guan Yiran said: "However, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have the courage to write another letter to the general, boldly urging me. This is not asking for credit, let alone boasting, but I am still terrified now. Are you I don't know the temper of our general. My earliest old corporal leader is now a general with real power, and my current immediate boss blows beards and stares at us on weekdays, like an old man seeing a son-in-law. Why? It doesn't look pleasing to the eye, but when they see the general, one by one, and the cat when they see the mouse, one by one is more sycophant than the other, and they don't even blush, so I have to ask you for a pot or two of wine. Shock."

Chen Ping laughed, and had a drink together with Guan Yiran and a few of his friends. The wine was all from Chen Pingan, and they asked Fan for a few plates of side dishes. The rule is, sitting on the mountain of gold and silver, no one dares to fish and meat, so they can only be exposed to the light of Guan Yiran. After finally catching a big guy, he tried his best to squeeze the wool, not soft at all, a man named Yushan The young and strong man in the room was also a monk with the army, but at the time of Shihao County, he was on the same rank as Guan Yiran, but now he is a subordinate. The man complained endlessly, saying that Guan Yiran, a stinky boy He cast a good tire, he was not convinced.Guan Yiran shook his head, smiled playfully, and said that if you don't agree with me, come and hit me.

As a result, Yu Shanfang hesitated for a long time, just "touched" Guan Yiran's shoulder with a light fist, then smiled, turned his fist into a palm, wiped it lightly, and said that General Guan has the smallest guts, and his ability to kill the enemy Not big, the ability to hold grudges is not small, how dare I.

Watching the gag between them, Chen Pingan just smiled and drank.

Then Guan Yiran told an anecdote about Shihao country.

In fact, it's an embarrassment for them.

At that time, there was a pedantic old scholar who had just moved his family from the capital to the city in the county city. The native officials of the Hao Kingdom didn't take it seriously, and this family was unwilling to post the Dali Gate God anyway.

So the furious Yu Shanfang personally led the troops to the door, and saw a scene that is still unforgettable.

When Yu Shanfang was talking about it, he was still sobbing, and took a sip of his wine.

That day.

An old man who is nearly blind, wearing an old green shirt that was washed to almost gray, was sitting in the lobby, and the old man was sitting there alone.

He couldn't see the Dali soldier clearly, but the clattering of the iron armor and the sound of footsteps were an aura on the battlefield that was enough to make even the county guard of Shihao country tremble with fear.

But none of Yu Shanfang's more than ten Dali elites thought that before they opened their mouths, the old scholar sneered in the most formal Dali official dialect: "That's how Cui Chan taught you to fight the world?! That's what Qi Jingchun taught Are you reasonable?! What a majestic Dali iron cavalry, what a Dali who has listened to the sound of books in the cliff academy for a hundred years!"

The old man in Confucian shirt suddenly slapped the table handle, tried his best to widen his eyes, and glared at those captains and soldiers, "I'd like to see, such a bullshit Dali can dance for several years!"

The old man stood up, even stretched out his fingers, and cursed at the group of big Li elites in iron armor.

Yu Shanfang was aggrieved by the scolding, but in the end, he was always included, one soldier and one soldier, and no one drew his sword out of its sheath, not even a single harsh word.

Just left the mansion, and did not allow anyone to harass the mansion.

After Guan Yiran found out, he personally wrote to Su Gaoshan, asking if he could make an exception and allow this family not to post Dali Yuan Cao's door god.

In fact, Guan Yiran also thinks that the possibility is unlikely, after all, Dali has strict rules and no one dares to cross the line.

As a result, Su Gaoshan sent back a letter, scolding Guan Yiran, saying that now Shihao Kingdom is my Dali clan's vassal. If you don't respect such scholars, why should you respect Han Jingling's son of a bitch, and Huang's? Waste?This matter is settled like this, the old gentleman is allowed not to post the Dali Gate God outside his door, once the national teacher is held accountable, he, Su Gaoshan, will bear it all, even if he quarrels with the prince, he will also do the same Do it, if you Guan Yiran has the guts, there will be a day when you will be held hostage by the national teacher, remember to say a good word to me on your great-grandfather, and please go to the national teacher to say a good word, maybe it can make the national teacher calm down Well.

Chen Pingan listened silently.

Guan Yiran finally leaned on the chair, looked at Chen Pingan, and said, "I think there can be more scholars like this, Chen Pingan, what do you think?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "The more the better."

Guan Yiran squinted his eyes and smiled, and raised his wine bowl, "Here, you and I are only half-educated, Yu Shanfang's gang of rough men and warriors know what a shit, come, come, just the two of us go."

Chen Pingan lifted the wine bowl with a smile, and bumped it with Guan Yiran's wine bowl. There was no distinction between the height of the wine glass and the bowl, "Then let one go."

Yu Shanfang snorted, and also drew the rest of the robes, and said loudly: "We frontier heroes, let's go alone, don't pay attention to these sour talents."

It was also the collision of wine bowls, and the sound was crisp and clear.

In the end, they were all a little drunk, and after Guan Yiran sent Chen Pingan to the gate of the mansion alone, the cold wind in the winter night blew, his eyes became clearer, and he reminded softly: "As for the overall situation of Shujian Lake, at least in the near future, Don't meddle in it. Since I can't even access some of your files, to be honest, I sent Feijian a special trip to send a message to the Jingcheng family about this matter, and the reply was very vague and full of mystery, so what does this mean? , I know it well, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just..."

Chen Pingan nodded, and joked: "It seems that the wine is not drunk enough to say these words, otherwise, except for the first sentence, you don't need to tell me the rest."

Guan Yiran clapped his hands on Chen Pingan's shoulder, "Good guy, you said that yourself, and you owe me another drink."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "When the overall situation is settled, it will be regarded as a promotion for you, and then I will treat you to a celebration wine."

Guan Yiran nodded with a smile.

it is more than words.

If Chen Ping'an came to visit frequently in the future, Guan Yiran would also like it, but this involves a lot of official taboos, and there will be some sequelae for both parties.

However, Guan Yiran can only put this kind of words in his stomach, thinking that since he recognized his friend, he has to pay this little price, otherwise, Guan Yiran is really just greedy for drinking, greedy for Chen Pingan's family wealth, so he would like those few sips Xianjia wine?He is the future head of the Guan family who is the mainstay of the Dali Temple, will he lack this?All he lacked was a friend he recognized.

But since Chen Pingan was able to figure out the matter from the first sentence, and said "the overall situation has been decided", Guan Yiran was even happier.

For a real friend, it is necessary to drink happily, but life is hard to satisfy, and there are always some unpleasant things there. If a friend admires, cares about, and is willing to think about each other, then it is true and the most Well, there is no bowl in hand, but it makes people feel like drinking wine.

The young man in the cotton green robe walked slowly on the quiet and deserted street.

Guan Yiran looked at that thin back, and remembered that thin and sunken cheek.

For no reason, Guan Yiran felt a little sad, but also felt that that friend was actually a bit chic.

Probably a real swordsman would be like this. He would drink to his heart's content during the banquet, and when the banquet was over, he would still walk alone.

Guan Yiran has had drinks with many people, and also invited many people to drink.

But once there was a notorious Dali Yuanying monk, who was a high-ranking god. When he returned from the border that year, that god showed up in person, found him on Chi'er Street, and said he wanted to buy him a drink , talk about something.

Guan Yiran asked with a smile, "Are you worthy?"

At that time, everyone around felt that if Guan Yiran had drunk too much, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble. Even Guan Shi might have to drink a glass of fine wine.

Afterwards, when he returned to the Yichi Lane mansion, the great-grandfather burst out laughing and patted the young great-great-grandson on the shoulder vigorously.

That was the second time Guan Yiran saw his grandfather so happy, the first time he decided to enlist in the army and go to the border to be the lowest scout monk.

There are always some people who feel that their status can determine whether a person can sit at certain wine tables.

These people, even if they were lucky enough to sit at a certain wine table, they would just bow their heads and take the initiative to toast again and again.

It was so fun and funny.

Guan Yiran clasped the back of his head with both hands, and said with a smile: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and these people must understand, after all, some of them are forced by life, and they have to do it as a last resort, but more, they are still sharpened. Heads, with upbringing, family style, and backbone, in exchange for real money, some of them will really climb to the top. But at least I care about Yiran's wine table, and they don't even think about it. Drinking at the table. In order to get less contact with these guys in the future, I should work harder, otherwise one day it will be my turn to toast them. Wouldn’t it be the end of the day. At that time, it will be ruined, except for myself and the entire Guan family. There are so many friends who have drank together."

Chen Pingan, who had already left Chishui City, certainly couldn't guess that Guan Yiran would think so much and go so far.

After returning to the ferry, I found that the Qingxia Island ferry was still waiting.

This is a matter of reason.

A Guan Yiran whose identity is covered by clouds and mist but is scary enough is enough for Tian Hujun and the others to re-examine the situation.

Maybe after Huang He heard about it, he would give up the idea of ​​buying himself a drink, because there was no way to show off with himself.

After boarding the boat, Mr. Tianhu said with guilt on his face: "I can only watch my junior brother and aunt leave Chunting mansion. I am sorry."

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Manpower is limited, just do your best."

Looking at that face, especially the eyes of the accountant, Tian Hujun didn't find any sarcasm, but he was still worried. After all, Master Liu Zhimao had almost no chance of making a comeback. It is true that Su Lindao tried his best to plan, and devoted himself to the master and junior brother... it is not at all.

Chen Ping'an has already changed the subject, "How should Chunting Mansion deal with it?"

Mr. Tianhu smiled and said, "As long as Mr. Chen is willing, he can move in at any time."

Chen Ping waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm used to living in the original house."

Mr. Tian Hu didn't say anything more.

Chunting Mansion is the most aura-rich place on Qingxia Island after Hengbo Mansion. As soon as the woman moved away, almost everyone including Yu Hui started coveting it. As for the Hengbo Mansion, everyone wanted it in their pockets. However, no one has that ability. Even Mr. Tianhu, who is currently the leader of Qingxia Island, doesn't think he can rebuild Hengbo Mansion and take over it.

Looking for death?

As for the Chunting Mansion, Mr. Tianhu will definitely take it back. As for letting Chen Pingan move there, it is just a courtesy talk, and he knows that Chen Pingan will not agree.

It is relatively easy to deal with smart people, especially smart people who follow the rules.

If it wasn't for Chen Pingan to show up a friend named Guan Yiran out of nowhere, Mr. Tianhu might still stop the boat at the ferry, but he would definitely not greet him in person. It would be a waste of saliva to accompany an old accountant here.

Mr. Tianhu accompanied him in silence for a moment, then took his leave and left.

Chen Pingan held the charcoal cage and nodded with a smile.

Looking at the smile of the haggard man, Mr. Tian Hu felt a slight ripple in his heart, but he didn't think deeply.

Chen Ping'an turned his back to Mr. Tianhu, looked at the lake, and traveled thousands of miles.

Yu Guizong.

It's dark under the lights, I really didn't expect it.

If it's Yu Guizong, then it's really just right when it comes to the battle of the Dao that I couldn't figure out before breaking my head.

But the twists and turns here are still hidden behind many scenes.

So Guan Yiran, a bystander, reminded Chen Ping'an very much.

It's just that in this way, many plans can only be waited and watched. Maybe this class can only wait for one to come to an end without a problem.

For example, formulate some new rules for Shujian Lake, such as occupying an island in Shujian Lake, and creating a mountain-top sect that is indifferent to the world and has the power to protect itself for ghosts and ghosts.

Chen Pingan actually thought a lot, but since the world is unpredictable, he can only make changes according to the situation.

The good and the bad, the ups and downs, the trade-offs and gains and losses, are not for outsiders to understand.

Many things, only silence.

After returning to Qingxia Island, Chen Pingan returned to the house, and burned charcoal on the stove to add some warmth to the whole house. There was not much charcoal in the bag. Chen Pingan laughed at himself. I have to ask Qingxia Island for it, of course I will still give it.But now, someone will take the initiative to come to ask tomorrow, do you want to add charcoal in Mr. Chen's house?What's more, starting tomorrow, there should be more visitors with familiar faces on my side.

Chen Pingan sat behind that desk and continued to settle accounts.

I didn't sleep all night.

After dawn, Chen Pingan opened the door and went for a walk to Zhuxian Mansion. The concierge Hongsu is still working in Chunting Mansion. I don't know if this year, with his loss of power, will the bad mouth of the servant girl in the mansion make a comeback, or Is it getting worse and worse than it was at the beginning?But that's okay, it's different now.Presumably after three or two times, the Chunting mansion should also have a longer memory, and the days of Hongsu should not be too difficult.

Ma Yuanzhi, the ghost cultivator of Zhu Xian's mansion, was very happy after seeing Chen Pingan's more and more honor without being a human being or a ghost. For Liu Chongrun's marriage, we must be more careful about young men like Chen Pingan, lest one day Chen Pingan does not drink his own wedding wine, but he receives some wedding invitations from Chen Pingan and Liu Chongrun to tie the knot.

Chen Pingan chatted with Ma Yuanzhi for a few words, then left Zhu Xian's mansion.

Ma Yuanzhi kept smiling from ear to ear, how he really liked Chen Ping's eyes, and Mr. Chen, he had never been so sincere.

Chen Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was too lazy to continue talking with Ma Yuanzhi.

The new concierge of Zhuxian Mansion is a maidservant from Chunting Mansion, she is very warm when she sees Chen Ping'an, you must know that this is the "place of prosperity" of Hongsu, and it is only because of clinging to Mr. Being able to be a little leader with a leisurely life in Chunting Mansion, Chen Pingan was also polite to that woman, but that was it.Talk more, what can we talk about.How many red crisps are there on such a large Qingxia Island?Just one.

Sure enough, as Chen Ping'an guessed, several acquaintances came to Qingxia Island today to chat with him.

Chen Ping'an is now able to deal with these things, practice makes perfect, and he is no longer as awkward as before, and his words are not natural.

It's all little by little, out of experience.

Chen Pingan did not celebrate the New Year on Qingxia Island, so he punted away from Shujian Lake. During the period, he stopped the boat far away from Gongliu Island and continued on his way.

Went to Lvtong City, took the horse, but unfortunately the steamed stuffed bun shop was closed, I just don't know if it is unsustainable, or it will be closed for the Chinese New Year, and it will reopen after the Lantern Festival.

Chen Ping'an spent his years on the road.

Right on horseback.

Take it easy.

Don't feel bitter.

Just on the first day of the first lunar month, I found Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi who had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Ping took a day off and set off on the second day of junior high school. The three riders circled the border of Shujian Lake and headed south all the way.

Finally, at the Xianjia Ferry where the ferry had stopped for a long time, Chen Pingan said that he would wait for someone here, and if they couldn't wait within ten days, they would continue on their way.

When Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were not practicing, they went to Dangxianjia Ferry together, where there were many shops and goods.

After Ma Duyi went shopping, she said that she couldn't watch it any more, otherwise the more she watched it, the more worried she would feel that she was too poor.

Chen Pingan gave Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi each a Xiaoshu coin, saying it was a red envelope for the New Year.

Zeng Ye didn't have the nerve to accept it, so he didn't agree no matter what, Ma Duyi was a person who didn't pretend to be in love with Mr. Chen, and even asked if he could give her Zeng Ye's one too.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "You don't think the money is overwhelming, right?"

Ma Duyi chicken pecks rice.

Of course, Chen Pingan did not agree, and took back the Xiaoshu money, "I'm sorry, I don't think the money is too much."

Zeng Ye laughed out loud, gloated, and hit Ma Duyi with an elbow, the pain made him grit his teeth.

At the Xianjia Ferry, I waited for nearly a ten-day period.

At dusk that day, a ferry boat dared to stop at the ferry, but when the monks saw the flag on the ferry, they suddenly realized.

The ugly one is the battle flag of the Great Li barbarian.

Chen Ping led the man back to the inn, Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi looked embarrassed.

Because it was Gu Can.

Zeng Ye was purely afraid of Gu Can.

Ma Duyi was worried because it was really not a good thing for Gu Can to appear at this time.

The last wishes of many ghosts and ghosts were originally on Mr. Chen's side, so they worked.It is very likely that once seeing Gu Can in person, he will regret it on the spot, and even intensify the resentment in his heart. Many yin creatures may directly become ghosts who have completely lost their wits, and then they will squander Mr. Chen's talismans for nothing.

That night, Chen Ping asked Zeng Ye to take it out of the big book box from the Hall of Hell and put it on the table in his room.

There was only Gu Can in the room.

Both Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi returned to their respective rooms, and then Ma Duyi found Zeng Ye for the first time, and the two sat together in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Chen Pingan gently knocked on the door.

After Ma Duyi quickly ran to open the door, Chen Pingan signaled them all to sit down, and after he sat down, he said softly: "Don't worry about me, think about it, no matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as when we first started?"

Zeng Ye hummed.

Ma Duyi also nodded slightly.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Is it tiring to be with someone like me?"

Zeng Ye shook his head vigorously.

Ma Duyi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm exhausted."

Zeng Ye said timidly, "Miss Ma, why are you dying?"

Chen Pingan suppressed a smile.

It was rare for Ma Duyi to suffer from Zeng Ye's side, and stepped on Zeng Ye's foot under the table.

Chen Ping put his arms around his sleeves, leaned against the chair, closed his eyes, and said softly, "I'll just squint for a while, you don't need to worry about me."

before going to bed.

Chen Pingan thought, wondering if those people he cares about in his hometown are all right?

In addition to the hometown of Longquan County, there are other places in this world and that blessed land. Is it okay during the Spring Festival of the year?There are also willows everywhere, are the spring flowers blooming?

Chen Pingan slowly fell asleep.

Some snore slightly.

It seems really sleepy.

Zeng Ye originally thought that Ma Duyi, who loves to make trouble with Mr. Chen, would make fun of Mr. Chen.

But when the tall boy turned his head to look, he found that the horse girl was sniffling and tearful.

The young man was puzzled, Mr. Chen just grunted while sleeping, Miss Ma, why are you so sad?

----

Longquan County.

The owner of a family in Niping Lane is actually a small house that has traveled far and never returned.

On New Year's Eve, the new Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, and door gods have all been meticulously posted.

Not only is there a large table of extremely sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, but the cook is also a martial artist who travels far away, an older man who eats vegetables with chopsticks, and even a martial artist of the ten realms who once almost entered the realm of martial gods. The man is Dali's Beiyue Zhengshen.

There is also a female ghost living in the slough of a fairy.

She was sitting on the main seat with a shameless face, but she was a black charcoal girl, she said that she was sitting for his master, no one was allowed to argue, there were family rules, and the master was not around, so she, the great disciple of Kaishan, had to provoke the rules.

In addition, there was a boy in Tsing Yi squatting on a long bench, and a well-behaved girl in a pink skirt.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the old man surnamed Cui left the house first, and Wei Bo and Zhu Lian went out together, wandering around the town casually.

There are still three "little guys", watching the night around the fire together.

After dawn, firecrackers crackled outside the ancestral house in Niping Lane.

A black charcoal girl with a sword in her waist crossed her arms and nodded, expressing her satisfaction. The atmosphere of the master's family is quite generous.

Pei Qian abided by her teacher's order and didn't just focus on setting off firecrackers all morning. Otherwise, with her temper, she would like to wake up the whole town.

Pei Qian let go of the firecrackers and waved his hand, "Go, let's fight!"

Girls in pink skirts don't join in the fun, so they have to look after the house.Shi Rou was even more lazy to mess around with Pei Qian. After she came to Longquan County, she got closer to the girl in the pink skirt.

The little boy in Tsing Yi kept up with Pei Qian, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

The little boy in Tsing Yi, after seeing the rickety old man and Heitan girl for the first time, felt that as a senior expert in Luoluoshan, he had to be a bit airy, so he kept suppressing his temper and pretending to be old-fashioned every day, which was very tiring. It makes girls in pink skirts very uncomfortable.

Later, he found that little Heitan didn't understand what he was saying at all, just stared in a daze and looked stupid, so he let go of his hands and feet completely, and took her to play wildly together, riding that black snake with a golden thread in its belly, across mountains and ridges .

After getting along with Pei Qian for a long time, the lingering melancholy and loss in the heart of the little boy in Tsing Yi subtly faded a little.

As for Zhu Lian, he met the old man surnamed Cui and was very respectful, but that was all.

In Pei Qian's eyes, it seemed that the old cook lost his flattering skills as soon as he arrived in Longquan County.On the contrary, he chatted very well with the handsome and lawless mountain god master, and often visited Piyun Mountain as a guest.

Pei Qian took the little boy in Tsing Yi to "walk around the house" in the streets and alleys, but the result was very disappointing.

No opponent dared to come out to fight.

Pei Qian stomped his feet, "It's so boring!"

The little boy in Tsing Yi laughed and said, "Isn't there still that scurrying dirt dog, go find it!"

Pei Qian hesitated, "It's the first day of the first lunar month, isn't it very good?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi rubbed his chin, "That's right. Let's talk about it tomorrow?"

Pei Qian nodded.

Pei Qian's so-called "fights" are actually those big white geese that are freed in the alleys of the town. They are really arrogant and bullying.

Such a big alley, each walks its own way, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, can it not work?Do you have to peck me?Don't you know that to provoke a master is to pay the price of blood and tears?

The first time they met on a narrow road before, Pei Qian and that formidable rival fought wits and bravery, and finally Pei Qian grabbed the big white goose by the neck, spun it around several times, and let you go with a loud shout.

dizzy.

Never thought that the big white goose became more and more courageous, flapping its wings and coming to fight again. Pei Qian also found the trick, and succeeded again and again. She picked up the snow-white goose feathers all over the ground and made a shuttlecock out of copper coins.

Over time, whenever they met that Heitan girl, they took the initiative to take a detour.This made Pei Qian feel a little lonely, and then a little happy. He felt that he had already tasted the taste of a master who was so high. Come on, don't embarrass Master!

Later, Pei Qian and the little boy in Tsing Yi met a particularly wild dog in the mountains to the west.

Is this okay?

Pei Qian is a person with big ambitions, one of which is to beat the wildest dogs.

Then there is a chase through the mountains and plains.

The little boy in Tsing Yi helped to block the road and had a great time. After that, the two guys often went to trouble the fine dirt dog.

Poor that local dog who has suffered an indiscriminate disaster, the current backer happens to be not in Longquan County, so he can only run around with his tail between his legs. The key is that even if he escapes to the top of the Longquan Sword Sect, he will not be able to escape. Those two ruthless Little bastard, he rushed up the mountain with all his strength. The disciples of the immortal master on the mountain saw it and didn't dare to take care of it. Ruan Qiong saw it, but he was also happy and didn't stop him at all. Instead, he let the disciples in the door not restrain the two stubborn guys.

Pei Qian did not forget the etiquette, holding a trekking stick in his hand, when he saw Ruan Qiong, he clasped his fists and saluted, very charismatic.

Ruan Qiong, who never had a smiling face with his disciples, even smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, saying that if he wants to join my sect to learn swordsmanship, it doesn't matter whether he is famous or not.

Pei Qian refused on the spot, and reiterated that he is the master's first disciple.

She is not very afraid of this famous military saint, on the contrary, she is a little close. Here, she hides a little secret.

Because after seeing the long river of time and lanterns, she firmly remembered the elder sister in Tsing Yi, and felt that even being a teacher's wife is difficult, but being a second teacher's wife is okay, isn't it?

Ruan Qiong laughed loudly, saying that I will talk about it later, and there is no rush.

But it is estimated that if he knew the inner thoughts of this little girl, he would not be able to laugh at all.

He still wants to scold that kid surnamed Chen, he is really ruthless, he is hard to guard against the little hoe that digs the foot of the wall.

Pei Qian and the boy in Tsing Yi walked near Niping Lane, when Pei Qian suddenly ran to the chained well and lay down there, looking inside.

The little boy in Tsing Yi squatted aside and asked, "What are you doing?"

Pei Qian said softly: "You all said that Longquan County hides a lot of valuable things, I want to see if there are any treasures in them, if there are any, wouldn't it be rich?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi rolled his eyes and said: "I advise you not to think about it. It's okay to talk about other places. This place is now a private forbidden area. It means that I have a big face, so you can walk here freely without anyone stopping you. Did you find that there are no townspeople coming to draw water?"

Pei Qian was very disappointed, and clapped his fists, "What's the matter, when you come to Master's hometown, you can find even a good thing!"

The little boy in Tsing Yi scratched his head, helpless.

Talk to Pei Qian about chance and reason, they don't care at all, just talk about luck, they care about it.

It's really playing the piano to the cow, even the little boy in Tsing Yi who thinks he has enough brains has to feel wronged by her.

The two sat on the mouth of the well, and the boy in Tsing Yi sighed.

Pei Qian asked, "What's wrong?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi rubbed his cheeks, "I don't know how my brother Yujiang Water God is doing now."

Pei Qian snorted, "That's it, what else can I do, people can't live without you, I'm not talking about you, you just think too much, what a shit."

The little boy in Tsing Yi rolled his eyes.

Pei Qian put his arms around his chest, no longer cared about the little boy in Tsing Yi, and said sadly to himself: "Master is really, he hasn't come back after so long."

The little boy in Tsing Yi nodded, "This unreliable master owes me several red envelopes."

Pei Qian hesitated for a moment, turned around, and took out a few copper coins from the embroidered bag presented to him by Mrs. Gui of the old Longcheng, "Take it as a red envelope from my master, is it enough?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi stared blankly at the few copper coins that Pei Qian laid out in his palm, and suddenly felt sad and resentful, but he still stretched out his hand, wanting to take those copper coins, mosquito legs are also meat.

Pei Qian laughed, closed his fists, and put it back into the embroidery bag, "You're dreaming, I'm not willing to part with so much money."

Then Pei Qian suppressed his smile and patted the boy in Tsing Yi on the shoulder, "It's not easy for you to be so miserable that you don't even let go of a few copper coins. It doesn't matter, my master said something , keep the clouds open to see the moon, I give this sentence to you, am I showing loyalty?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi hugged his head and howled.

How are you going through this bitter day.

Pei Qian sighed, he was such a young guy, so he had to take out the few copper coins and hand them to the boy in Tsing Yi, "Take it."

The little boy in Tsing Yi immediately smiled.

Pei Qian shook his head in an old-fashioned way, and said a lesson: "If you see Qian's eyes open, you are worthless!"

----

Another spring.

A woman in green and a young man in white didn't go all the way back north with the big team, but jumped off the ferry at Hongzhu Town.

Then the two returned to Longquan County on foot.

It was Ruan Xiu and Cui Dongshan.

In a bookstore in Hongzhu Town, Cui Dongshan was in a panic, so he found an excuse to deliberately tease a group of customers.

One of them was in a hurry, ignoring that there was an extremely handsome and charming girl standing beside the little white face, and shouted anxiously: "I am not allowed to be jealous when I see others living well? I am not allowed to be happy when I see others living in misfortune." Huh? Who are you, can you manage it?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "It's a good habit, don't change it. I'm not your parents. You have such a good habit. Why do you persuade you to change it?"

Ruan Xiu was neither bored nor interesting.

As soon as Cui Dongshan saw that she started to take out the embroidered handkerchief again and started eating cakes, he quickly took her away and complained in a low voice: "Can you stop eating this in front of me? If you take the cakes, I will Just panic."

Ruan Xiu's eyes lit up, "You know?"

Cui Dongshan said helplessly: "I am a great monk who almost didn't ascend to the Ascension Realm. It's a bit miserable now, but my vision is still there, and I am the guy who knows your roots best in the world. Can you not know?"

Ruan Xiu smiled slightly.

What should you do when you want to eat real delicacies in the world, but you can't eat them?She thought of a little way to eat something else, which was better than nothing.

The two continued on their way, passing the Qidun Mountain.

Stopping on the top of the mountain, Cui Dongshan raised his eyes and looked to the south.

Emperor Dali was actually the first emperor.

This news is almost out of reach, and soon everyone in the central part of Aquarius Continent will know about it.

Among the heirs of the Song family in Dali, Song He is of course the most vocal. The prince Song Mu, who seems to have fallen from the sky, has no roots and no roots in the ruling and opposition parties.The Dali Sect's mansion kept a secret about this, no one dared to reveal a word, maybe someone had a slight change of mind, and then disappeared from the world.Over the past few years in the clan's mansion, several elderly people failed to survive the severe heat and cold, and "died of illness" at the end of their lives.

With the "untimely death" of His Majesty the Emperor.

The truth is only held by the three of them. The empress who was demoted to the Changchun Palace to practice is the biological mother of the two princes, Song Changjing, the vassal king of Jianguo, and Cui Chan, the embroidered tiger of Fuguo.

One occupies the righteousness and blood orthodoxy, the other controls the entire Dali army, and the other is the national teacher who is the national policy of Dali for a hundred years and is all done by himself.

The three of them maintain a delicate balance between the ruling and the wild, the mountains and the mountains.

Until the Zhuying dynasty is defeated, there will be no problems.

After laying down.

There will be big trouble.

That empress, of course, would undoubtedly do her best to favor Song He who had been by her side since she was a child and watched him grow up. In fact, Song He could be regarded as the bastard's disciple.

Song He, or Song Jixin, is Qi Jingchun's disciple.

But there is only one person who really decides who can become the new emperor of Dali, the vassal king Song Changjing.

Even if he is not satisfied with supervising the country, the bastard is willing to be the emperor himself. This is one of the results of the old and young "embroidered tigers".

But at present, it seems that Song Changjing's true ambition is not here, otherwise he would have taken off his iron armor and put on the dragon robe long ago.

The mountain breeze is blowing, and the grass and trees are fragrant in early spring.

Cui Dongshan narrowed his eyes.

It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes, intentionally arranging flowers but not blooming, unintentionally arranging willows and willows to make shade, first in Dasui Shanya Academy, but just casually chatting with Mr. about the veins, and in the end almost fell on that stinky bovine-nosed avenue.

Cui Dongshan gave himself a big mouth.

There is also that old man Yao who is hiding a very deep plan, and old man Yang is absolutely unable to separate the relationship, so he is even more involved.

Cui Dongshan slapped himself again.

Ruan Xiu has long been accustomed to this.

Cui Dongshan glanced at the cliff, thought about it, or forget it, jumping down, no one can die, but it is embarrassing.

Cui Dongshan suddenly opened his teeth and claws, and yelled, "Old bastard, if you lose, you lose. My husband and I both agree! But you shouldn't go against your conscience and talk about a gentleman's dispute! Qi Jingchun is dead, my husband lost! It's so miserable, not to mention that you got nothing in Shujian Lake, and you also lost a lot. You even played chess with a dead man, a gentleman's dispute, a dispute with your uncle, you get out of here, let me slap you two big mouths, look See if you can spit out ivory from your dog's mouth..."

Ruan Xiu squinted and smiled.

Cui Dongshan swallowed, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "The moon is really round today."

It turned out that standing beside him was an old man in Confucian shirt, who was Cui Chan, the national teacher.

Cui Dongshan turned his head slowly, and said innocently: "Why are you here? Such a coincidence?"

Cui Chen sneered and said, "Why, don't you just say a word and meet you again in the season of falling flowers?"

Cui Dongshan smashed the pot, pointed at Cui Chan's nose, jumped up and scolded: "You bastard, why, you are not convinced, what did I say wrong? If you can point it out, I will tell you that your surname is Cui, you It's my grandson!"

Ruan Xiu shook her head.

I've seen people courting death, and those who dare to change their tricks to court death like this are really rare.

Cui Chan actually didn't pay any attention to it. The tall buildings in Chishui City on the edge of Shujian Lake back then would still pay attention to him a little bit.

Cui Chan looked to the south, then shifted his gaze to the west, "Do you know where the real chessboard is?"

Cui Dongshan frowned and said, "Middle Earth? Is there a way for the old scholar?"

Cui Chan sneered, "You are now a frog in a well."

Cui Dongshan said hello, and tapped Cui Chen on the shoulder, "The old bastard who climbed up the mouth of the well, said to me this frog at the bottom of the well?"

Cui Zhenyi flicked away Cui Dongshan's claws, and slowly said: "The chessboard between me and Qi Jingchun is the world, all the world. What is a smoky Lake of Letters?"

Even Cui Dongshan's heartstrings would be shocked at this moment.

Ruan Xiu didn't think about it, she was lazy.

Cui Chan said indifferently: "That's all, you just have to wait. But even you will have to wait for many years before you understand the key to this situation. Even Chen Pingan, who is in charge, has been waiting for a long time. For a period of time, even in this life, there is no way to know what he did back then."

Cui Dongshan no longer showed any cynical demeanor, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Cui Chan, then I will wait and see!"

Cui Chan disappeared in a flash.

Cui Dongshan sighed.

Continue on the road with Ruan Xiu.

After that, I was silent all the way.

But after entering the boundary of Longquan County, a drizzle fell.

Cui Dongshan seemed to be suddenly happy, stretched out his hand to catch the rain, and muttered: "Mr. Report is back, the hometown of Xinghua Chunyu."

----

Among the mountains of Shujian Lake.

Another year of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

A group of talents completed all the distance.

It's just that compared to the previous two times, there is one more Gu Can.

So the journey became slower and more difficult.

As for the conflicts with those evil cultivators and ghost cultivators, in comparison, they are not painful or itchy.

In the territory of the Zhuying Dynasty, wars are already raging.

On that trip, even Zeng Ye discovered something strange.

Those mountain spirits, ghosts, monsters, beasts and monsters wandering in the mountains, as long as Mr. Chen appeared in front of them, they would almost all be a little afraid, and some timid ones would even retreat and run away.

Gu Can also became more and more reticent, but her eyes were firm.

During this period, Gu Can felt hesitant, struggling, angry, and even had to give up twice.

That Mr. Chen who changed from a blue cotton robe to a green shirt and back to cotton cloth didn't speak much, he just stood beside Gu Can, sometimes he could talk, and sometimes he would be silent.

In the face of those ghost Xiu Yexiu who murdered people and robbed wealth, Mr. Chen knew how to throw punches and swords.

It is obviously a weak body and a turbulent soul, but when he punches and swords, he is extremely fast.

Go forward.

Even the half-immortal weapon named "Sword Immortal" has gradually become extremely docile. Every time it is unsheathed and before returning to the sheath by itself, it will linger around its master and circulate slowly, like a bird clinging to a person.

This year is the end of the year.

On the way home.

Finally ushered in a heavy snow.

In the spring breeze of this year, I returned to Shujian Lake.

In a high mountain, you can vaguely see the green lake water.

Gu Can suddenly said: "Chen Pingan, next, let me go on by myself."

Chen Ping turned to look at Gu Can, who had firm eyes, and asked softly, "Have you figured it out? You might die. I can walk with you for another year."

Gu Can shook her head and said, "Enough!"

Chen Ping rubbed his head.

Gu Can said: "But if one day, I mean, if you, Chen Pingan, are beaten to death, I will endure it first, and then kill his whole family, the graves of the eighteen generations of his ancestors, and dig them up one by one. Anyway At that time, you can't control me anymore, and you can't scold me."

Chen Pingan smiled helplessly.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were terrified when they heard this.

You know, after Gu Can decided to practice, he practiced so fast that Ma Duyi really felt that he was a cripple on the road of practice. Gu Can didn't walk, he took the ferry of Xianjia directly.

Because Gu Can is now a monk in the Dongfu Realm, and is about to break through the bottleneck.

Chen Pingan parted ways with Gu Can and the others, and rode alone, saying that he would go straight to the north, and that he might take the Xianjia ferry one day and return to Longquan County sooner.

Ride alone.

Passed the border of Shujian Lake and entered the territory of Shihao Country.

Passers-by often see a ranger in a blue shirt with a sword in his hand. The man and the horse are almost as thin as bamboo poles, but the young man on the horse has shining eyes.

After that, Chen Pingan stopped riding a horse and walked northward slowly.

The skinny horse quickly grew strong, but the owner was still so thin.

On this day, Chen Pingan led his horse along a dirt road and passed an endless rapeseed field.

Chen Pingan stopped, and the horse also stopped its hooves almost at the same time with a tacit understanding.

Chen Pingan sat on a field ridge, with horses hovering beside him.

Chen Ping scratched his head, took off the Yangjian gourd, took a sip of wine, and then held the Yangjian gourd, "Mr. Qi, you are really gone, I thought I could see you again."

Chen Pingan laughed.

That's okay, seeing yourself in such a bleak state, maybe even Mr. Qi's junior brother can't do it, right?

----

There was a year of snowy night, the cliff plank road.

After a master Bai took his maid and separated from the young man, he cut off one of the maid's tails.

On the plank road, a middle-aged Confucian scholar with slightly white temples appeared, smiling and waiting.

At that time, Master Bai smiled, "Well, I wanted to look for you, but you didn't show up, you gave up hope, and you came here by yourself instead."

The big fox demon with the appearance of a woman in a palace costume was trembling, and took the initiative to stay away from the two of them, and opened a large distance.

Before separating from Bai Ze, the Confucian scholar in green shirt handed a ball of water essence to Bai Ze lightly, and said with a smile: "A few years later, maybe two or three years, maybe four or five years, the specific time , I don’t dare to say anything right now, so please take a look at Master Bai if you have something to do, and after reading it, Master Bai will make a decision.”

Bai Ze was slightly puzzled, but still nodded in agreement, and took the gadget.

Because this Confucian scholar is Qi Jingchun.

When we arrived at Zhongtu Shenzhou, it was on the banks of the big river near Baidi City, so Bai Ze said to the chief priest of the Book of Rites Academy, "I want to take another look."

On that lonely island out of the sea.

After watching Zhao Yao leave.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar handed a bowl of water to the most proud scholar in the world, and said with a smile, "Sir, I am extremely disappointed in the world, so I will make a bet with you."

The scholar smiled and said: "Others can't do it, but you, Qi Jingchun, can bet."

So that scholar, after Qi Jingchun left, he didn't see the great sacrificial wine of the sub-sage's lineage.

He has to wait and see.

In the end, on Caiyi Country's side, they met for the last time and parted for the last time.

Qi Jingchun smiled and said to a teenager, I will fight with you one last time.

The boy punches.

Qi Jingchun was at the side, punching leisurely, and said slowly in her heart: "Little brother, you have worked hard. I personally put such a big burden on your shoulders, I am sorry."

At that moment, the teenager just punched in sadness.

Unbeknownst to him, Mr. Qi, whom he respected the most, burst into tears, full of guilt.

----

This year's spring.

Middle Earth God Continent.

Bai Ze left the Xiongzhen Building and came to the Confucian Confucian Confucian Temple on his own initiative.

The most proud scholar in the world travels far away with his sword, and he is also unparalleled in romance. No matter what swordsman you are in the world, no one can match you.

And in Aquarius Continent, there was a young man sitting on horseback, actually fell asleep.

The flowers on Longshang bloomed again, and the husband returned home slowly.
