Sword comes

Chapter 466

The narrow Qilong Lane is a slope with a long staircase. The Caotou shop is at the bottom of the steps, and the lucky shop. The two shops are the ancestral business of Shi Jiachun's family, a little girl with shofar braids. The little girl did not go to Da Sui Academy with Li Baoping and Li Huai to study, nor did she stay in the small town like Dong Shuijing. Instead, she followed her family and moved to Dali Capital, where she sold the two shops. With the help of Ruan Qiong, it was transferred to Chen Ping'an.Every time Chen Ping returned to his hometown, Dong Shuijing still saw him, but Shi Jiachun never saw him again after that separation.

The Caotou shop was first owned by the Shi family, and it sold sundries, including many old objects. It was the earliest pawn shop in Lizhu Dongtian. Later, when it was relocated, the Shi family selected some relatively pleasing antiques and curios. Half of them stayed in the shop, so it can be seen that even if the Shi family came to the capital, they would be a big family.At the beginning, after Chen Pingan got the shop, especially after knowing the value of those items, when he returned to Lizhu Dongtian for the first time, he still felt a little guilty and had a disturbed conscience. When visiting relatives in a small town, they returned the shop and its contents to the Shi family at the original price. However, Ruan Xiu didn't agree at the time, saying that buying and selling are business and favors are favors. It's just a pimple, but now that I'm used to doing business with people, I don't think about it anymore, but if the Shi family is willing to be shameless and send someone to ask for the shop back, Chen Pingan thinks it's okay and won't refuse, but the two sides will not be able to talk about incense in the future Love, of course, his Chen Ping's incense, worth a few dollars

There is only one clerk in the shop to take care of the business, she is an old woman with a simple temperament, it is said that when Ruan Xiu was the shopkeeper of the shop, she often chatted with her.

Chen Ping'an naturally recognized the woman. She was born in Xinghua Lane. According to the generations spread in the town, even if the age difference was nearly 40 years, he only needed to call Aunt Chen, but it was not a real relative.

Although the old woman is getting old, she has been working in the fields all her life, and she is in good health. Even though her children have moved to Longquan County and lived there several times, she really can't bear the big and deserted house there. I couldn't even find an acquaintance who quarreled and quarreled, so I just went back to the small town. My sons and daughters are filial. A lot of old mothers-in-law ran out to earn those few copper coins, especially the shopkeeper of that shop, who was the poorest junior in Niping Lane back then.

Chen Pingan brought Pei Qian to the shop, called Aunt Chen as soon as he entered the door, and asked how he was doing, whether the crops were still working these years, and how the harvest was.

Then Chen Pingan chatted with the old woman for a while, all in small town dialect.The old lady was talkative, talking about old things, and then looking at Chen Pingan, who is now a great success, the old lady couldn't help it, her eyes were moist, and said that if Chen Pingan's mother saw the current situation, how wonderful it would be, I spent my whole life patronizing hardships, but didn’t enjoy one day’s blessings. In the last year, I managed to get out of bed, and I couldn’t even survive that winter. God is not open.Speaking of her heartbreak, the old woman complained about Chen Ping'an's father. What's the use of talking about a good man?But at the end, the old woman patted Chen Ping'an's hand lightly, and said don't blame your father, just treat it as your mother owed him in the previous life, and it's good to pay off the old debt in this life, it's a good thing, maybe In the next life, we should be reunited and enjoy happiness together.

Chen Pingan sat obediently on the bench with this Aunt Chen, held by the old woman's withered hand, listening to her complaints, and dared not speak back.

Pei Qian took a small bench and sat not far away, nibbling melon seeds, quietly looking at the somewhat unfamiliar master.

Pei Qian learned all languages ​​very quickly, and he was familiar with the dialect of Longquan County, so Pei Qian could understand both of them chatting.

Master seemed to be chatting with the old man, both sad and happy.

And Pei Qian is also very strange, the master is such a powerful person, no matter who he meets, he is almost never so respectful, it seems that no matter what the old woman who babbles says, it is right, the master will listen to it, Every word and sentence will be kept in my heart.And at the moment, Master's state of mind is very peaceful.

In fact, before the master went down the mountain and came to the shop, Pei Qian felt that he had been greatly wronged, but it was not good for her to disturb the master who was going to practice boxing in Luoluo mountain.

So she just stayed at the New Year's Eve shop, stepping on the small bench in a daze, feeling depressed all the time, really unable to get any energy up, and went out to wander around like before.Thinking of those big white geese in the small town, who should bully passers-by again, Pei Qian became even angrier.

Because she heard a lot of gossip from the townspeople a few days ago.

In fact, a few years ago, Pei Qian also heard about it, but it was just bits and pieces. At that time, Pei Qian felt that he was a Jianghu person, and he should be more magnanimous, so he didn't deal with them on the spot, but secretly recorded it in a small ledger. Quietly hid at the bottom of the small bamboo box, where was the day, and what kind of words did I hear from the little kid tortoise grandchildren, grandchildren, wives, and aunts.

However, when Master returned to Luopo Mountain, there were a lot of bad things recently. There were a lot of idlers who were full and did not die, as well as acquaintances who were about the same age as Master, and some gossips. Chewing tongues together at the corners of streets and alleys.

Most of them are the old things that happened in Niping Lane, and some gossip about Chen Ping'an's apprenticeship in the dragon kiln.

He likes to make jokes about Chen Ping's poor things when he was a child, which is not too much. There are also some more disgusting words, such as master's friend Liu Xianyang, neighbor Song Jixin, maid Zhigui, and Gu Canniang kissing that The widow, even Ruan Xiu's sister, took it out to make up the right and wrong. For example, the master was able to achieve today's glory by being courteous to Ruan Xiu. He also said that he had an affair with Gu Canniang, so he often helped the widow. I often borrow money from Song Jixin and still not repay it, which is too much.

Pei Qian remembered it firmly. Every time he returned to the New Year's Eve shop, he would take Shirou on his back and take out the ledger at the bottom of the press box. When writing, he gritted his teeth, so the ink marks were particularly heavy.If it wasn't for the fact that Master is now in Luopo Mountain, Pei Qian would have made a move long ago, no matter how old you are, a kid, or an aunt and aunt who is dozens of years old.

Later, Shi Rou noticed the clue one day, so she explained Pei Qian, saying that whether it is in the market or in the temple, there are a few people who really see the good of others, there must be some, but few.When we met face to face, it is normal to flatter you, say good things about you, turn your head away, and chew your tongue behind your back.

As a result, Pei Qian replied at the time, saying that I don't care, and that my master is no good.

Shi Rou felt that it was tricky, and she was really afraid that one day Pei Qian couldn't hold back, and he would hurt someone if he made a shot that didn't matter how serious it was.

So this time when Chen Pingan came to the shop, she actually wanted to talk about it, but Pei Qian was stuck with her master, and Shi Rou had no chance to speak for the time being.

It's just that when Pei Qian saw the master today, he heard the old woman's annoying chatter.

All of a sudden, being angry is still being angry, being wronged is still wronged, but not so much.

Especially when Pei Qian remembered that one year he helped his master pay homage to his parents' graves. When he was walking back to the town, he met an old woman who went up the mountain halfway. Standing on the other side of the grave of the father and mother, they are bending over to put the plate containing glutinous rice cakes and smoked tofu in front of the grave.

Pei Qian ate melon seeds and grinned.

I stopped telling Master about the bad things.

Furthermore, in the future, I will call this master Aunt Chen's old lady, and smile more on weekdays.

After leaving the Caotou shop, Chen Pingan did not send Pei Qian back to the New Year's Eve shop directly, but took Pei Qian to go shopping, walked up the steps of Qilong Lane, walked up the stairs, and then took a detour and walked through the streets and alleys , went to the ancestral house of Liu Xianyang's family, opened the door, Chen Pingan picked up the broom and began to clean, Pei Qian is no stranger to this place, when he left in Hongzhu Town, the master gave him a bunch of keys, among them was here, every three days Cha Wu, I will follow the girl in the pink skirt to clean it together. During the parting, the master specifically told her not to touch the things in the house. Having said that, as soon as the girl in the pink skirt hesitated, Pei Qian knew she was gone, so she squatted on the threshold, feeling melancholy for a long time, and let the girl in the pink skirt go about her work alone. strength.

Today is different, Master sweeps the floor, she doesn't need to turn over the almanac to see the time, she knows that she has all the strength today, ran to the kitchen, picked up the bucket and rag, and scooped it from the water tank where there was still some water. water, helping to clean the tables, stools and windows in the house.Chen Ping smiled and told Pei Qian a lot of stories about how he and Liu Xianyang went up and down the mountains in the early years, using tricks to catch wild animals, making slingshots, making bows and arrows, catching fish and catching birds and snakes. There were many interesting stories.

When Chen Pingan was not talking, Pei Qian had nothing to do, and he would read something similar to the public order, the township covenant, and the family precepts, so catchy that even Chen Pingan didn't know where she learned it from. And recited it.

"As soon as the rooster crows, sweep the courtyard and clean the inside and outside. Lock the door and check it yourself. A gentleman saves a porridge and a meal three times. Think about hard-won utensils and clean. Crock pots are better than gold and jade. Don't forget the kindness you give, and never forget the kindness you receive. .Keep your order and live your life, and obey the weather.”

Listening to her reciting, Chen Pingan didn't ask any more questions, just looked at Pei Qian who was working there and shaking his head, Chen Pingan was smiling all over his face.

After work, one big and one small, sit on the threshold to rest together.

Pei Qian asked: "Master, do you have such a good relationship with Liu Xianyang?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "That's not true. Master was Liu Xianyang's little follower back then, and later there was a little slug who was the oil bottle behind Master's ass. The three of us had the best relationship back then."

Pei Qian turned to look at the much thinner master, hesitated for a long time, and asked softly: "Master, I mean if, if someone speaks ill of you, will you be angry?"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "You won't be angry if you speak ill of me to my face. You won't be angry if you speak ill of me behind my back."

Pei Qian wondered: "Master, don't you say that the clay bodhisattva is also angry, why don't you get angry?"

Chen Ping patted Pei Qian's head, "It's useless to be angry."

Pei Qian handed over a handful of melon seeds to the master, and after Chen Pingan took over, the master and the apprentice ate the melon seeds together, Pei Qian said sullenly: "Then let others speak ill of you, Master, it's not right."

Chen Pingan sat there lazily, eating sunflower seeds, looked forward, and said with a smile: "I want to hear a bigger truth, or a smaller truth."

Pei Qian smiled and said, "I want to hear it all."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then let me tell you a big truth first. It is for you, and it is also for yourself, so it doesn't matter if you don't understand it for the time being. How should we say it? What do we say and do every day?" Is it really just a few words and a few things? No, these words and things, line by line, gather together, just like the streams in the mountains in the west, and finally become the Longxu River and the Tiefu River. The river is like the most fundamental foundation of each of us. It is a main vein hidden in our hearts, which will determine the greatest joys and sorrows in our life. This long river can accommodate many fish and shrimps. Ah, crabs, aquatic plants, and rocks, but sometimes they will dry up, but there may be floods. It’s not sure, because too many times, we ourselves don’t know why it becomes like this. So the article you just recited In it, it talks about the three provinces of a gentleman. In fact, there is another Confucian saying called self-restraint and restoration of rites. When Master later read the literati's writings, he also saw a great Confucian who was hailed as a perfect man through the ages in Tongyezhou. The plaque is inscribed with the word "controlling anger." I think if this is done, in terms of mood, there will be no floods, bridges rushing over bridges, embankments bursting, and flooding the roads on both sides of the river."

Pei Qian asked, "What about the little one?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Small reason, it's even simpler. When you are poor, when you are told right and wrong, you can only endure words. It is impossible to poke someone's spine. Just don't poke them. If The family is rich, and their life is good. Others are jealous, and they are not allowed to say a few bitter words. Go back to each family. The family that lives well, say a few words to others, the blessings of the ancestors will not be reduced by half, and the poor Family, maybe you will lose your own virtue and make things worse. If you think about it this way, won’t you stop being angry?"

Pei Qian folded his arms around his chest, frowned, tried hard to think about this little truth, and finally nodded, "I'm not so angry anymore, I'm still angry."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "It's human nature to be angry, but when you are angry, you don't rely on your ability to beat others, and you don't use big mistakes to deal with other people's small mistakes. That's good."

Pei Qian jumped up and said: "Master, after hearing so many bad things, I haven't beaten someone even once."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then master will reward you verbally once."

Pei Qian said with a smile: "Master, it's fine to give a few copper coins as a reward."

Chen Ping shook his head with a smile, "That's not acceptable. You need to pay attention to profit and loss in doing things, but you can't be like this in life. Since you have followed a master like me, you have to suffer like this."

Pei Qian smiled and said, "What kind of trouble is this?"

Chen Ping turned his head and saw that Pei Qian's melon seed shells were placed in the palm of his hand after eating, which was exactly the same as his own, so it was natural.

Chen Pingan poured the melon seed husk in Pei Qian's palm and said, "One day, you will meet some people who will criticize you as long as you throw the melon seed husk on the ground in the alley. There are two types of people, one is born in a wealthy family and has never been in the mud, and the other is people who you left Qilong Lane, but they are destined to stay in Qilong Lane for the rest of their lives. You In the future, in the arena, you must be more careful about the latter. Because the former is arrogance, but the latter is heart

Bad. "

Pei Qian stared wide-eyed, with an incredulous expression on his face, "Throw melon seed shells casually, and still scold people for chicken dung and shit all over the floor, don't scold the world."

Chen Pingan did not talk about two more extreme "causes and effects", such as the moral flaws of the saints in the article, and the accidental good deeds of the vicious people.

It's too early to talk to Pei Qian about this, and it's too big, it won't make Pei Qian more reasonable, it will only become a burden on Pei Qian.

And Chen Pingan didn't want Pei Qian to become his second self.

So Chen Pingan tried his best to figure out some truths for himself. He said that when he listened to Pei Qian, it was a bowl of millet porridge and a steamed bun. If you can't eat anymore, you can also put it aside for the rest.On Pei Qian's side, Chen Pingan hoped that he would not hand over a bowl of bitter medicine, a bowl of strong wine, or a dish that was too spicy.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "The reason why I told you this is because I am afraid that you will hide alone in the future and sulk. I just want you to know that there are such people in the world. And these people you may not like, in a certain event What you do is not to your liking, but in other places, you may do better than you. So, let's try to understand this world as much as possible."

Pei Qian scratched his head, "Master, my head hurts."

Chen Ping touched her head, "It's enough to know the general meaning. From now on, I will walk around the rivers and lakes by myself, watch more and think more. Don't be vague when it's time to act. Not all right and wrong will be vague."

Pei Qian timidly said: "Master, if I travel in the rivers and lakes in the future, if I don't go far, will you not buy me a little donkey?"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Of course not."

Pei Qian was relieved now.

That's good, you can go back to Luopo Mountain to catch up with dinner.

Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "Do you plan to travel the rivers and lakes for the first time, how far will you go?"

Pei Qian felt like facing a big enemy, his eyes rolled sharply, but he couldn't think of a good idea, and he didn't want to lie to his master, so he was a little at a loss.

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Let's go to Hongzhu Town anyway."

Pei Qian was relieved, fortunately, Master didn't ask him to go to places as far away as Huang Ting and Da Li Jingcheng, and promised: "If there is any problem, I will bring enough dry food and melon seeds."

Chen Pingan smashed a chestnut down.

Pei Qian hurriedly endured the pain and did not forget to cover his hands to prevent those melon seed shells from falling to the ground.

Chen Ping stood up, locked the door, and left the alley with Pei Qian.

Randomly picked up a branch on the side of the road.

When there was no one around, Chen Pingan smiled and asked Pei Qian to have a "Scattering Flowers".

Pei Qian's chick pecked at the rice, clutching the melon seed shells in his hands, "Master, I'm starting."

Chen Pingan nodded with one hand behind him and a branch in the other.

Pei Qian gave a soft drink, and threw the melon seed shell in his hand high.

Chen Ping'an didn't move, nor did the branch in his hand, but the cuffs and corners of his green shirt swayed without wind.

Chen Pingan took a step forward, leaving only a cyan afterimage on the spot.

The shells of the melon seeds were touched by the "tip of the sword", and they shattered with a bang.

When Chen Pingan stood still again, within a radius of one zhang, Pei Qian saw that it seemed to be covered with portraits of master and others who drew swords.

Pei Qian clapped his fists, "Master, your peerless swordsmanship is even better than my crazy swordsmanship. It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Chen Pingan threw away the branch and said with a smile, "This is your crazy sword technique."

Pei Qian blinked, "There are still crazy swordsmanship in the world that won't hit you."

Chen Pingan couldn't help laughing. After thinking about it, he was a bit playful and said with a smile: "Look, there is another trick."

Pei Qian immediately took a deep breath, slowly lowered his palms, and put on a posture of sinking his dantian, "Master, please make a move."

Chen Pingan glanced at the branch on the ground, put his fingers together, turned his body forward suddenly, his sleeves fluttered, and the branch on the ground was controlled by Qi like a flying sword, drawing an arc, and when Chen Pingan stood still, his fingers To one place, "go you"

The branch was like a long sword, nailed straight into the far wall.

Pei Qian laughed out loud.

Master is still learning from her.

How can a master secretly learn the housekeeping skills of a disciple?

Chen Ping laughed loudly, and returned to Qilong Lane with Pei Qian who was bouncing around. Pei Qian ran back suddenly, pulled out the branch from the wall, and said that she should treasure this magic weapon.

After sending Pei Qian to the New Year's Eve shop, Chen Pingan greeted the old lady and Shi Rou respectively, and was about to return to Luopo Mountain.

Pei Qian said he wanted to give it off, so they walked together in Qilong Lane.

Chen Pingan arrived at the entrance of the alley, let Pei Qian go back.

Pei Qian ran back quickly, and when she reached the door of the shop, she saw that the master was still standing there, so she shook her hand vigorously. After seeing the master nodding, she swaggered into the shop, raised the branch in her hand, and stood facing the counter. Shirou smiled and said: "Sister Shirou, can you tell what kind of baby it is?"

Shi Rou looked at the radiant Heitan girl, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, and shook her head, "Forgive my poor eyesight, I can't see it."

Pei Qian looked pitifully, and lamented: "Sister Shi Rou, you can't even tell, it's just a branch."

Shi Rou couldn't laugh or cry.

She was sure that if she said it was a branch, Pei Qian would say something else.

The end of the alley.

After Pei Qian's figure disappeared, Chen Pingan continued walking, but suddenly looked back.

Back then, on another small street, there was also a big and a small walking side by side, but compared to him and Pei Qian's master-student status, that time, there was nothing but rain.

Chen Ping just looked at the alley like this, as if watching the "two people" walking towards him slowly.

"Chen Ping, the heart of a child is not blindly simple, thinking of the complicated world very simply. It is that you know a lot, world affairs, human relationships, rules, and principles. In the end, you are still willing to insist on being a good person, even if you experience it yourself. After a lot, you suddenly feel that good people are not rewarded, but you will still tell yourself silently that you are willing to bear the consequences, no matter how good the bad people are, they are still bad people, and that is wrong after all."

"Can you understand"

"Mr. Qi, I understand"

"Can it be done?"

"I dare not say that I can do it now."

"It's okay, take your time."

At this moment.

It was replaced by a young man wearing a green shirt, and suddenly said: "Beyond the reason, the walking is already very slow, and we can't go any slower."

Chen Ping closed his eyes.

The site was chosen to be built at the Wu Temple in Longquan County, Dali, beside the Immortal Tomb.

The idol shakes.

Not only that, but many statues of Bodhisattvas and Heavenly Officials in the Immortal Tomb began to shake.

On the gates of every household in Longquan County, as long as they are Wumen gods, they are all shining with golden light.

The majestic statue in the Wu Temple in the small town seems to be struggling to suppress, trying not to let his golden body leave the statue to worship someone.

Improper

Dislike

But inside the martial arts temple, a stream of strong martial arts poured down like a waterfall, and the mist filled the air.

And the statues of Confucian Temple gods in Laocishan are also full of strange things.

If the sages of Wumiao in Longquan County were shocked and unwilling, the sages of Confucian temples who were emotionally connected were even more horrified and puzzled.

Piyun Mountain, and Luopo Mountain, almost at the same time, some people left the mountain top, some people left the house and came to the railing.

Wei Bo appeared next to the barefoot old man in an instant.

Wei Bo was also puzzled, and asked softly: "Is this?"

Cui Cheng said with a stern face: "It's just a martial artist breaking through the five realms, and the trivial things like sesame and mung beans are not worth mentioning."

Wei Bo was helpless, but you, Cui Cheng, a warrior of the ten realms, completely suppressed the smile on your lips.

Cui Cheng suddenly became solemn, and said to himself: "Boy, don't be afraid of making trouble, whether it's a martial artist or a swordsman, no matter how reasonable you are, you must have this spirit."

Wei Bo had a headache.

Cui Cheng frowned and said, "What are you doing in a daze, help cover up your aura?"

Wei Bo hurriedly waved his sleeves and began to circulate the fortune of the mountains and rivers.

Cui Cheng suddenly laughed heartily and slapped the railing.

Wei Bo had also heard about the "speech" at the end of Qilong Lane, and was speechless. This was the Chen Ping'an in his memory.

The end of the alley.

The fairy sword behind Chen Ping'an had already unsheathed by itself, and the tip of the sword touched the ground, standing right beside Chen Ping'an.

After Chen Ping opened his eyes, he put his palms on the hilt of his sword, looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "Whether you want this martial arts or not, that's my business. If you don't come, of course not."

Mind moving.

The sword fairy returned to the sheath.

When Chen Ping's words were settled.

In the Immortal Tomb, a bright white rainbow as thick as the mouth of a well grew from the ground in the Wu Temple, and it swept towards Chen Ping'an. Ping An did not retreat but advanced, slowly walked back to Qilong Lane, caught the white rainbow with one hand, received as much as it came, and finally rubbed his hands together to form a bright dragon pearl, when the pearl was as bright as glass When Chen Pingan was born, Chen Pingan had already walked to the door of the lucky shop. Shi Rou seemed to be overwhelmed by the power of heaven, squatting on the ground trembling, only Pei Qian stood in the shop in a daze, confused.

Chen Ping crossed the threshold, holding the slowly rotating bead in his palm, walked up to Pei Qian, bent down and said with a smile, "Catch it."

Pei Qian stretched out his hands.

Her eyes were like the sun and the moon competing for glory in a blessed land.

Chen Ping put the bead condensed by martial arts in Pei Qian's palm, and it disappeared in a flash.

Heaven and earth return to silence.

Pei Qian burped suddenly, and said blankly, "Master, what is this?"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "One of the master's principles."

Pei Qian wiped his mouth, patted his stomach, and said with a bright smile: "Master, it's delicious, what else?"

Chen Pingan bent down again, grabbed Pei Qian's ear, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Pei Qian chuckled, "Yes, if not, it doesn't matter."

Just as Chen Pingan was about to speak, he seemed to be pulled by someone, and his figure dissipated. When he came to the Luopo Mountain Bamboo Building, he saw the old man and Wei Bo standing there.

Wei Bo smiled and cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations."

Cui Cheng said expressionlessly, "So-so."

Chen Pingan felt a little more settled, and it seemed that he could indeed leave for Caiyi Country and Shushui Country.

Going here now, just in time to eat a bowl of fried meat with winter bamboo shoots from the old mother, and then invite old man Song to have a hot pot meal.

In the end, before Chen Pingan could be happy, the old man had already turned around and walked into the house, saying, "Come in, let you, the great master of the six realms, see the scenery of the ten realms. I've seen it, healed my wounds, and someday I can go down." The bed is already on its feet, so it’s not too late to start.”

Wei Bo ran away without saying a word.

Only Chen Pingan, who was sad from it, was left behind.

Pei Qian actually didn't understand what happened. After the master came and left inexplicably, she walked behind the counter with her hands on her hands, and looked at the female ghost squatting on the ground with her head in her arms. Pei Qian jumped onto the small bench, feeling a little Bored, he took out a yellow paper talisman from his sleeve, patted it on his forehead, then turned his head and said to Shi Rou: "Coward"
