Sword comes

Chapter 457 A lamp in the ancestral house in the alley

This Xianjia ferry will not go directly to Dali Longquan County. After all, Baozhai has already evacuated from Niujiao Mountain, and the ferry is almost completely abandoned. It is temporarily requisitioned by the Dali military in name, but it is not an important hub. There are few ferries, and most of them come here. The dignitaries of Dali who visited the mountains and rivers in Longquan County, after all, now Longquan County is waiting for prosperity, and there are gossips that Longquan County, which has a vast jurisdiction, will soon be promoted from the county to the prefecture, which means that in the officialdom of Dali, there will be more people out of thin air. Dozens of high-rank seats, with the momentum of the Dali Iron Cavalry, covered half of the Aquarius Continent, which made the local officials of Dali rise in status. Beijing officials", now once they are released to serve in various vassals in the south, they will be promoted to a higher level, and it is a certainty.

The ferry that Chen Pingan is on will dock at the ferry of a small country called Qianhe Country. Qianhe Country has many mountains, the country is weak, and the land is barren. There are different customs for ten miles, and different sounds for hundreds of miles. There is not even a piece of Li cavalry A peaceful place to set foot in.The ferry is controlled by a cave on a mountain. The owner of Fuyin Cave is not only the national teacher of Qianhe Country, but also the leader of a country's immortal masters, but there are only dozens of genealogical masters in the entire Qianhe Country. He is only at the Longmen Realm, and the disciples in the door, three or two kittens and puppies, are not good enough. The reason why he can have a fairy family ferry is the Fuyin Cave, which was once one of the ruins of the broken cave in ancient times. This kind of production can be exported to the south, but the money earned is hard work, and there are not a few small summer money all year round, so there are no monks from other places coveting this place.

Chen Pingan plans to go back to Longquan County first, and then go to Caiyi Country and Shushui Country. There are many matters in his hometown that he needs to go back and make decisions in person. For this matter, Wei Bo can help, but he cannot replace Chen Pingan and sign a new "land deed" with Dali.

There were a few twists and turns along the way. A group of immortal masters from Qingfeng City felt that an ordinary horse was able to occupy a place at the bottom of the ferry, and it was a humiliation to be with the spirit birds and beasts they carefully raised and trained, so they were a little dissatisfied Fortunately, Chen Pingan took good care of his beloved horse, which he privately nicknamed "Qu Huang", and often let Fei Jian Fifteen steal away quietly to avoid accidents. You must know that Chen Ping'an is very grateful to this loving horse who has accompanied him all the way in the past few years.

So when Qu Huang was frightened at the bottom of the ferry, Chen Ping'an felt it. First, he let the 15th day go straight to the void, penetrate the layers of decks, and directly reach the cabin on the bottom floor, blocking a strange beast on the mountain from biting Qu Huang. .

Chen Pingan then rushed to go, but was stopped by the ferryman guarding the bottom of the ferry. Chen Pingan knew it well, stretched out his hand and grabbed the young man's shoulder, and half dragged and half dragged him to the place where Qu Huang was. After entering it, all the spirit birds and beasts trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground, especially the beast near Quhuang, whose whole body was as black as ink, only its four feet were snow white, like a dog, but it was as big as a calf. According to the records in the fairy book purchased from Daoxuan Mountain, it should be one of the descendants of the ancient beast, the coyote. Otherwise, the real coyote would not be variegated. Somewhat similar.

When the coyote descendant spirit beast saw Chen Ping'an, it was more afraid than the other docile and prostrate spirit beasts in the cabin, and curled up with its tail between its legs.

Chen Ping let go of the ferryman's shoulder, and the man rubbed his shoulder and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, it's probably because your horse and the beast next door had a disagreement and clashed. This is a common thing on the ferry. I will separate them and move a nest for the young master's love horse, and there will never be any more accidents."

Chen Ping glanced at the fence between Qu Huang and the descendants of the coyote, but there was nothing there.

Between the cage and the fence, there should have been some low-grade talismans. Once the spirit birds and beasts crossed the thunder pool, the ban would be triggered immediately, so that the ferry would come forward to "persuade the fight", but the birds and beasts that could be brought on the ferry by the monks , more spiritual, and will not cause trouble for the master, otherwise, if you lose money and eliminate disasters, what you break is the way of a practitioner. Once you get into problems that money can't solve, it will be a disaster.

It's just that in the eyes of the owner of the descendant of the coyote, a roadside guy who can lead a horse to board a boat, what can he do if he gets offended?

Chen Ping reached out and touched Qu Huang's head. It stepped on the ground lightly, but there was not much panic.

In the mountains south of Shujian Lake, Qu Huang followed Chen Pingan to see the world.

Chen Ping withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "You guys are trying to ruin my way!"

The ferryman was stunned for a moment, guessing that the owner of the horse would most likely ask for a crime, but he never expected that he would be on the line like this.Is it a scam

That's all right.

The young handyman was overjoyed and wished that the two sides would fight.

Anyway, no matter what the background is, no matter why this person can make those beasts shudder, as long as you offend the monks of Qingfeng City, you will have good fruit to eat

The Immortal Master in Qingfeng City has always been a distinguished guest of this ferry, and they are very familiar with each other. Because of the production of Fuyin Cave in Qiangu Country, a certain kind of spiritual wood in it was attracted by the Fox Hill Fox Charm, which seems to be a small country belonging to a dynasty. Love, so this kind of spiritual wood that can moisten fox fur was almost rounded up by the fairy master over there in Qingfeng City, and then sold to Xu's, that is double the profit.As for why Mrs. Xu in Qingfeng City didn't make this trip in person, the ferry side also asked curiously. The cultivator of Qingfeng City laughed, saying that Mrs. Xu would care about this, and others would have such leisure time to earn such a small profit from them. , the descendants of the Xu family who have a good way of making money have already earned more fairy money. The Xu family in Qingfeng City sits on a fox mound, but they are used to being the God of Wealth who only needs to count money at home.

A group of immortal masters dressed in snow-white fox fur slowly walked into the cabin on the bottom floor, which was a bit eye-catching.

The fox fur in Qingfeng City can not only keep warm in winter, but also dispel the heat in summer. It is nothing more than one thick and one thin. However, in summer, wearing fox fur, no matter how thin it is, still looks awkward, but It was originally a kind of amulet for monks to walk down the mountain. The face of Qingfeng City is not small in the northern part of Aquarius Island.Especially now, the Patriarch of the Xu family in Qingfeng City, it is said that he has got a great opportunity. His Taoist partner helped him obtain a piece of precious wart armor from the Lizhu Cave, and he has made great progress. The family also has a piece of Dali Taiping Wu The event card, the rise of the Xu family in Qingfeng City, is unstoppable.

Without further ado, Chen Ping'an still had a loose fist, and one sick man, but he came to the group of monks in a few steps, and knocked down one of them with one punch. Among them was a girl with a round face, who rolled her eyes on the spot, He fainted to the ground, and in the end there was only one handsome young man left in the center, with sweat dripping from his forehead and his lips moving slightly, probably because he didn't know whether to say something hard or soft.

Chen Pingan stood in front of him with his hands covered in sleeves, and asked about the inside story of Qingfeng City.

After all, whether it is the Xu family in Qingfeng City or the mountain-moving ape in Zhengyang Mountain, each has an old account on Chen Pingan's heart.

That pampered young monk, when he saw that the people close to him and his personal entourage had already fallen to the ground, he didn't care about losing face or strength of character.

Chen Ping asked in detail, and the young monk answered seriously.

For example, the teacher is asking about the homework of the Mongolian children in the school.

The ferry handyman guarding the cabin on the bottom floor was a little dazed after seeing this scene. What's going on? Didn't everyone say that the immortal monks who came out of Qingfeng City are all supernatural?

Chen Ping turned his head and looked at the handyman who was thinking endlessly. At the same time, he slapped the forehead of the young monk behind him with a plop, and the latter fell back straight.

This is called empathy.

Chen Pingan looked at the terrified handyman and asked, "Can I get the fairy money for helping with this kind of business?"

The young handyman shook his head, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, I didn't take a single snowflake money, I just wanted to be courteous and get familiar with these fairy masters. Maybe they will just say a few words in the future, and I will have it." A way to make money."

Chen Pingan asked: "Who came up with the idea?"

The young handyman said without hesitation: "It's the idea of ​​the fairy masters of Qingfeng City, I'm just helping, I implore the gods to forgive me."

Chen Pingan stomped his feet lightly, and the young boy's body bounced, and he woke up in a daze. Chen Pingan smiled and said, "The brother on the ferry said that you were the one who murdered my horse, what should I say?"

The young man in Qingfeng City was furious, sat on the ground, and began to curse.

Chen Ping walked out of the cabin on the bottom floor, and said to the young man with a smile, "Don't kill people."

The young man struggled to stand up, and walked towards the ferryman with a smirk, "Good guy, dare to trick me, I won't peel you off!"

The young man suddenly turned his head and looked at the door of the cabin, the man in the blue shirt was stopping, turned his head to look, he quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't kill people, I dare not kill people, just to give this bad guy a little memory. "

Chen Pingan walked out of the cabin.

The wicked have their own grind.

It's hard to say who is more evil, the monk in Qingfeng City or that handyman.

But deep down in Chen Ping's heart, he actually hated that weak handyman on the ferry even more, but in his future life, there would still be no good way to deal with these "weak people".On the contrary, facing those arrogant and domineering monks on the mountain, Chen Ping had more chances to make a move.Just like Han Jingling, the prince of Shihao Kingdom who met on a narrow road in the snowy night, he would kill him if he said he would kill him.It's hard to say that there will be no prince in the future. If he really gets to that lawless Beiju Luzhou, the emperor can kill him.

Chen Pingan came to the bow of the ferry, held on to the railing, and walked slowly.

Zhengyang Mountain and Qingfeng City are doing quite well now.

Especially the former, after Li Tuanjing, No. 1 under the Five Realms of Aquarius Continent, has become more and more powerful. Fenglei Garden is destined to be a long dormant period of humiliation and burden in the past hundred years.If the new garden owner Jianxiu Yellow River and Liu Baqiao are unable to quickly enter the Nascent Soul Realm, they will probably be oppressed by Zhengyang Mountain in the next few hundred years.

As for the Xu family in Qingfeng City, they sold off the hilltops in Longquan County at a low price before. It is obvious that they are more optimistic about the Zhuying Dynasty and Guanhu Academy. Now that the situation is clear, they hurriedly make up for it. The Yuan family of the Zhu Kingdom has established a relationship. There is a side-in-law other than the long house, the daughter of the Xu family, who is married to a concubine of the Yuan family in Dalijing City, and the Xu family of Qingfeng City also fully supports a family controlled by the children of the Yuan family. A cavalry.

Check it out.

No matter the enemy or us, everyone is busy.

On the avenue, everyone strives to be the first.

When Chen Pingan thought of his situation, he laughed at himself.

Breaking through the bottleneck of the five realms of a pure martial artist in one fell swoop, and entering the sixth realm, this is something that Chen Pingan could easily do before entering Shujian Lake. After the strongest third-level martial artist you forcibly achieved, you punched more than 100 million punches by yourself, and finally you have the world's strongest fifth-level martial artist. Be reserved and suffer less.Chen Pingan didn't care too much about the gift of martial arts. Even if he had the opportunity like the dragon in the sea of ​​clouds in the old dragon city, he should still fight back with one punch.

I never thought that this delay would take another nearly three years.

As for making up the five elements and rebuilding the Longevity Bridge, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it. According to A Liang, "I have a watermelon rind swordsmanship. Wherever I slide, the sword will be there, and I will follow the fate."

Chen Pingan smiled knowingly.

Turning his head, Chen Pingan ignored the group of monks from Qingfeng City who came to make an apology. After the other party was roughly sure that Chen Pingan had no reluctance, he left angrily.

Afterwards, the owner of the ferryboat also came to plead guilty, vowing that he would punish the handyman who caused the trouble severely.

Chen Pingan didn't pay much attention to it, and just said that he had learned his lesson.

The ferry docked at the mansion in Fuyin Cave in Qianhe Country. If it had been in the past, Chen Ping'an would have buried his head on his way.But this time, Chen Pingan still went to visit the owner of Fuyin Cave, maybe because he knew about the turmoil on the ferry. The old monk is not unfamiliar with the rough inside story after the shattering of the blessed land. After all, Fuyin Cave is still famous. Although the size is only more than ten miles in diameter, the secret treasures and relics of the fairy family were dug up by the seniors early. Empty, the aura of the cave is not too abundant. Later, by coincidence, the old monk came to take over this place. As a place for cultivating Taoism, it spread its branches and leaves, and faced all kinds of visitors. It has its own set of polite expressions, which can be said What should be said in detail, what should not be said is absolutely not said.As soon as the old monk heard that Chen Ping'an was from the Dali family, he became more and more enthusiastic. He insisted on keeping Chen Ping'an to stay for a few days. The special product of Fuyin Cave is carved out of nine squares. The price is actually not high. The market price in Qianhe Country is about twenty snowflakes. For the secular dynasty, it is of course a sky-high price. , is not a rare gift.

After Chen Pingan received the small treasure box, he gave back a pot of bee tail crossing water well immortal wine in Fuyin Cave. When the old monk in Longmen Realm heard that it was the bee tail ferry wine, he was overjoyed and invited Chen Pingan to go to Qianhe next time. Country, no matter what, I have to come to Fuyin Cave to sit here. There is no such fine wine as made by the fairy of Shuijing, but Qianhe Country has some unique scenery that cannot be found elsewhere. Last time, this trip was definitely worthwhile. He, the national teacher of Qianhe Kingdom who is a joke, is willing to accompany Chen Pingan on a trip.

The old monk personally sent Chen Pingan to the border of Qianhe Country, and then returned home.

There was a young direct disciple beside him, who was a little puzzled, wondering why the master took so much trouble, the old monk at the Longmen realm said with emotion: "On the way of cultivation, as long as you can form a good relationship, no matter how big or small, don't miss it. "

The young disciple seemed to have realized something, but the old monk was afraid that the disciple would go astray, so he had to remind him aloud: "At your age, you still have to practice diligently and devote yourself to enlightenment. , wait until the day when the master is so rotten and unable to walk the mountain road, then do these things again. As for the so-called master, in addition to teaching you the Tao, you also have to do these helpless things that may not be in line with your wishes, so as to teach the disciples in the sect In the future, the path of practice will become wider and wider."

The old monk rubbed his disciple's head and sighed: "The last time you went down the mountain alone to practice, and the absurd behavior of the rich and powerful children of the Qianhe Kingdom, the master has actually been by the side and watched it. It is only good to win the relationship, but in fact, the heart is not happy, otherwise the master will be disappointed in you. People who practice the Tao should know what the real foundation of standing is, where there is no need to care about those human feelings, what is the meaning? False."

The young disciple was terrified.

The old monk said with a smile: "I just took this opportunity to break through the confusion in your heart. The twenty snowflakes sent by Master will not be wasted."

The young disciples saluted, "Master's kindness is profound, and Wan Jun must remember it in his heart."

The owner of the Fuyin Cave, stroking his beard and smiling, walked along the ridge path with a wide view with his proud disciples who had high hopes.

Chen Pingan rode a horse with a sword in his hand, and continued northward from the northern border of Qianhe Country.

Of course he didn't guess that when he visited the Fuyindong mansion earlier, an old monk at the Longmen Realm took the opportunity to wake up a disciple of the robe and bowl.

In a slanting wind and rainy summer, Chen Pingan passed the border pass of Dali smoothly by handing in the pass certificate alone.

This time when I returned to Longquan County, I chose a new road instead of taking the route of Hongzhu Town and Qidun Mountain.

Along the way, there was heavy rain, and the dampness and heat were extremely steaming and suffocating. Chen Pingan almost mistakenly thought that he was walking in the summer when Shujian Lake was like a steamer.

However, it is hot in summer and cool in autumn.

Crickets chirped in the night.

During the period, under an ancient pine tree on a mountain top, as the sun was setting, I saw a heroic scribe with his chest exposed and a feather fan in his hand, surrounded by beautiful maidservants, singing birds and swallows, and farther away, stood two old men with long breathing , obviously they are all practitioners.

Chen Ping led the horse past without looking sideways.

After going far to the top of the mountain, Chen Pingan felt a little sad. In the past, the scholars of Dali, even the scholar Junyan who had been able to study in the Cliff Academy, still sharpened their heads one by one to go to the Guanhu Academy, or to the Great Sui Dynasty. , Going to the Lu Dynasty, after all, Dali couldn't keep people.According to Cui Dongshan, in the Dali literary world at that time, before scholars quarreled or started to write, they did not mention the names of scholars from other countries, did not read a few works of other countries' literary giants, and did not find a few writers from other countries' literary circles. The relatives of the family are not ashamed to speak, and have no confidence to write.

I don't know what the situation of Dali Shilin is like today.

In fact, Chen Pingan was not interested either.

As dusk approached, Chen Ping finally passed several post stations in the east of Longquan County, and then entered the town. The wooden fence gate no longer exists, and the town has been surrounded by a stone wall. There are no gate guards and soldiers at the gate, allowing people to come and go , Chen Ping went through the door and found that Zheng Dafeng's thatched hut was still standing alone by the roadside. The gate of the small town naturally dare not compete with the Longquan County Mansion in the north and the county government in the town. If Zheng Dafeng dared not, he would definitely not be able to lose a copper coin.

Chen Ping'an was supposed to arrive in the town ten days later, but he hurried a little later, which made him a lot earlier.

At the beginning of entering the customs, I sent a letter to Luoposhan through the border post station, telling them my approximate date of returning home.

Chen Pingan didn't go to the ancestral house in Niping Lane first, but led his horse across the stone bridge to visit his parents' graves. He still took out cotton bags filled with soil from all over the place to add soil to the graves. Not long after Qingming passed, There are still some slightly faded red hanging papers on the grave, which are pressed by flat stones. It seems that the girl Pei Qian has not forgotten her instructions.

It’s not surprising that most of the people on this journey are unfamiliar faces. Most of the local people in the small town have moved to the new county town of Longquan in the west and north of the mountain. There is a pair of big stone lions guarding the gate at the gate, and the worst is the expensive drum stone, which is no worse than Fulu Street and Taoye Lane back then. Most of the people who are still in the town are old. The old people who don’t want to move are still guarding the increasingly deserted alleys, and there are many new neighbors who bought a house but don’t see each other all year round. speech.

Chen Ping returned to the small town in this way, and walked to the mud bottle alley that has hardly changed at all, but this alley is no longer inhabited, and the few remaining families have all moved to Xinjun City. The ancestral house was sold to a foreigner, and they got a large sum of money that was unimaginable in their dreams. Even if they bought a big house in the county town, it was still enough to live comfortably for several lifetimes.Gu Can's family's ancestral house was not sold, but his mother also settled in the county town and bought one of the largest mansions in the county town, with a deep courtyard, small bridges and flowing water, and a rich and noble style.

Chen Pingan took out a bunch of keys from the square-inch objects, opened the courtyard door, let Qu Huang sit in the small courtyard, loosened the reins, and let him stay by himself.

Chen Pingan opened the door, it was still the same, small, without adding any big things, moved an old bench, sat by the table for a while, Chen Pingan stood up, walked out of the yard, and re-read the door god and Spring Festival couplets , and then stepped into the yard, looked at the word spring.

Twilight fell.

Chen Ping sat at the table and lit a lamp.

Thinking of sitting for a while, I went to Luopo Mountain and gave them a surprise.

After sitting for a while, Chen Pingan still didn't get up, just wanted to sit for a while.

All the joys and sorrows start from here.No matter how many miles you have traveled and how many years you have traveled abroad, you can only feel at ease if you end up here.

After his parents left, Liu Xianyang often lay on the bed here, talking nonsense about longing for the distance, and the little slug also often complained about the unreasonable adults here.

If parents are not traveling far, they must travel well.Parents are no longer there, and there must be a way to swim.

On the other side of Hongzhu Town, which is not too close to Longquan County, Pei Qian brought a boy in green clothes and a girl in pink skirt to sit on a high roof, looking eagerly into the distance. The three bet who would see that figure first.

On the Luopo mountain, the barefoot old man was resting with his eyes closed on the second floor.

Zhu Lian began to admire the talisman characters on those bamboo buildings again and again.

The female ghost, Shirou, sat bored on a bamboo chair under the eaves, and when she arrived at Luoluo Mountain, her hands and feet were bound everywhere, feeling uncomfortable.

The top of Piyun Mountain.

Wei Bo, the god of the North Mountain of Great Li, and the old Huang Tingguo stood side by side, one with a relaxed smile and one with a solemn look.

Overlook the small town in the distance.

In an alley, a single light was dimly lit.

Shine bright. https:
