Sword comes

Chapter 651 Unconsciously 5 Years

The Niujiaoshan Ferry is no longer just the Dali military ferry. More and more commercial ferries come and go.

Seeing that Pei Qian's eyes were shining, it was all the fairy money that rolled into the master's pocket.

This "far trip", because it was his own territory, the little girl in black beside Pei Qian, carrying a small pole on her shoulder and holding a walking stick, felt that she could no longer be more imposing.

Zhou Mili still felt a little bit regretful that he couldn't stick two pieces of paper on his forehead, one was written on the right protector of Luoluo Mountain, and the other was written on the dumb lake monster.

Chen Nuanshu was not far away, talking trivial things with Chen Lingjun who was about to leave for Beiju Luzhou, and Chen Lingjun yawned all the time.

Pei Qian put his arms around his chest, looked around, looked at the great rivers and mountains of his master, and nodded slightly, very satisfied.

Zhou Mili asked softly: "Chen Lingjun is about to leave, why don't we say a few words? Squeeze some more tears, it seems more sincere."

Pei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Did you eat those tenets of Luopo Mountain like rice in a bowl?"

Pei Qian freed his hand, touched the head of the little winter melon, and said earnestly: "My master said, the truth is that the big white bowl, and other external objects are the food in it. I can eat. Then what is the reason, I can’t think of it, Mi Li, you are so confused, let alone, so we only need to remember the mountain regulations of Luoluo Mountain, and there will be nothing wrong. "

Zhou Mili frowned, and soon relaxed his brows. He understood, and said softly: "As soon as we talk to Chen Lingjun, we have to give a parting gift. We won't win! Anyway, our relationship is so good, so don't mess with it!"

Pei Qian tugged at Mi Li's cheek, laughed and said, "What and what."

Zhou Mili followed suit and laughed.

Pei Qian stood on the spot, took a deep breath, and then punched very short and slow, muttering to himself: "Pick up a needle with your finger, sweep a large area with your fist, punch like an arrow, and retract your fist like a flying sword..."

Zhou Mili asked, "What?"

Pei Qian still punched slowly, and said solemnly: "After the crazy sword technique, I have created a set of peerless boxing techniques. The formulas are all compiled by myself, and they are so powerful."

Then Pei Qian began to talk nonsense, "In the world, besides my master's boxing, which is the strongest, two are also very strong. One is the self-taught Wang Baquan, and the other is stealing from the Tianqiao sect."

Zhou Mili felt that he was not stupid, but was only half-convinced, "How is your boxing technique so powerful? After practicing boxing, can you fly around?"

Pei Qian said unhappily: "That's something only a martial artist who travels far away can do it. I'm still early, and I haven't worked hard for a few years. It's absolutely impossible."

Zhou Mili stomped her feet and said angrily, "It's been so long! How many melon seeds do I have to eat!"

Pei Qian said helplessly: "You think it's easy for martial artists of the eight realms."

Zhou Mili froze for a moment, embraced the trekking stick, stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, "But you are Pei Qian."

Pei Qian smiled openly, retracted his fists, held down Xiaomi Li's head, and swayed back and forth, "You have a big brain, you don't look very big, why are you so enlightened."

Zhou Mili shook his head for a long time, then suddenly sighed, "Why isn't the owner of the mountain coming home yet?"

Pei Qian smiled, "Didn't I tell you that on the side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, because Master helped you spread the word, there are many stories about the dumb lake monster, that is another world! You , just have fun."

Zhou Mili started scratching her cheek again, "But I would rather he didn't tell the story, and come back sooner."

Pei Qian made a funny face, "My master is back home, why don't you treat him to pickled fish?"

Zhou Mili frowned, and said timidly, "Don't eat a big pot, eat a small pot?"

Pei Qian was happy, but also sad.

After growing up, it is difficult to be the same as before, big and small worries, always just like guests visiting the door of the heart, come and go quickly.

In the past, Pei Qian didn't quite understand why Master was unwilling to grow up quickly with Sister Bao Ping.

Now looking at the millet grains, Pei Qian understood.

Chen Lingjun was about to board the transcontinental ferry, and Pei Qian patted Zhou Mili on the head, "Go, say goodbye. Remember, Master said that if a friend travels far away on the Xianjia ferry, we can't talk about that journey." Downwind."

Zhou Mili nodded vigorously, "I know I know!"

A stupid melon seed Nuan Shu, Pei Qian and Xiaomi Li all said goodbye to him.

Chen Lingjun was a little uncomfortable, but at the same time she was a little awkward, she was still a little happy, but she didn't want to put her emotions on her face.

After Chen Lingjun left.

Pei Qian and the others waited until the ferry boat passed through the sea of ​​clouds before returning to Luoba Mountain.

Chen Nuanshu turned his head and glanced at the sea of ​​clouds.

Pei Qian said softly: "Don't worry, it's okay. Chen Lingjun is actually very clever, even though he is not a decent person."

Chen Nuanshu smiled, and Pei Qian took a little girl by the hand.

Now Pei Qian's height is much higher than them.

Finally like a girl.

Chen Lingjun was lying on the table in a daze with nothing to do in the ferry room.

In fact, at the Niujiaoshan Ferry, Chen Lingjun regretted it the moment he boarded the Pimazong cross-continental ferry.I really want to jump off the ferry and sneak back. Anyway, the Luoluoshan family has a lot of land now, so I can find a place to hide. I guess Wei Bo will be annoyed when he sees him, and he may not be happy to talk about it with the old cook, Pei Qian and the others. , In a few days, I will go to Luopo Mountain to show my face again, find any reason to fool the past, forget to look through the almanac to pick an auspicious day, worry about Huanghu Mountain, forget to go to Yujiang to say goodbye to friends in the river and lake, concentrate on, work hard at home, There is nothing wrong with working hard...

There was a big bamboo box on the table. In fact, it was rare for Mr. Wei Dashan to be generous, and he even lent him a close thing.

Inside the bamboo box, there are many pictures of the situation of Luzhou in Beiju, not only drawn by the immortals on the mountain, but also in the secret collections of many imperial courts, plus a lot of local chronicles, and a few booklets written by Chen Pingan himself. They are all big and small precautions. In the words of the old cook, they are all written down if they don’t want to piss or shit anywhere.

Chen Lingjun was actually still afraid.

In the past at Huang Tingguo's Yujiang side, in fact, I didn't like to move my nest. I recognized Yujiang Water God as my brother and acted like a domineering together. When I arrived at Luopo Mountain, I still didn't move my nest. Pei Qian and Xiaomi Mili would occasionally go to Hongzhu Town. While wandering around, Chen Lingjun just wandered around the big and small hills of Luopo Mountain, playing in the mountains and rivers, chatting nonsense with the neighbors and old fairy masters, and taking the black snake, swaggering around everywhere, carefree and carefree.

Ever since the blind old Taoist named Jia Sheng moved from Qilong Lane to Jiemao practice in Huanghu Mountain, Chen Lingjun has often visited as guests, and they hit it off very well. If bragging really works, the whole Haoran Tianxia will be their private garden .

However, Chen Lingjun is also clear now that the other party is holding him like this,

Or because of Chen Ping'an's sake.

Chen Lingjun didn't dislike this kind of thing, he liked it very much.

No matter how good the customs of Luopo Mountain are, it is inevitable that there will be relatives who are far and near, who come first, first come first.

After all, he and Nuan Shu, that stupid little melon seed, are the earliest "old men" in Luoluo Mountain.

Then came the old cook, Pei Qian, Shi Rou, the stupid Cen Yuanji, the silly girl Yuan Bao, and the second idiot Yuan Lai, because the big idiot is Cao Qinglang,

Later, Chen Pingan abducted a grain of rice from Beiju Luzhou.

Sometimes Chen Lingjun himself felt that the old chef Wei Bo looked down on him, and could not blame them for being high-minded. He really blamed himself for not being motivated, like to eat and wait for death, bragging and playing fart.

There are many people, lively, and wonderful.

Lonely, I ran all the way to Beiju Luzhou to practice a hammer.

What is Bone Beach, Pimazong, Mural City, Suzerain Zhuquan, and two Luobashan named enshrinements, what is Dumb Lake, Liu Zhiqing, Chunlu Garden, Yunshang City, what is Jidu, the Dragon Palace in the middle, the westernmost What kind of mountains are there, plus Lion Peak, Li Er and his wife, Li Huai's sister Li Liu.Little Aquarius her brother Li Xisheng.

Master and his friend, a fire temple, Liu Jinglong of Taihui Sword Sect, and his disciple Xiaobaitou.

Is this Lao Tzu going to cultivate for a bright future?Is it better to go door to door and give gifts?

It is impossible not to jump a ferry!

Chen Lingjun packed his luggage and slipped from the second floor to the first floor of the ferry, but Wei Bo appeared near the railing of the ferry out of nowhere.

Chen Lingjun laughed and said, "Wei Dashanjun, why are you being so polite, you don't need to send it away."

Wei Bo laughed and said, "One continent and Beiyue territory are all under my jurisdiction, have you forgotten?"

Chen Lingjun ran to rub Lord Tiger's arm in a desperate manner: "How dare you forget this, even if you have to urinate, you will hold back, for fear of tarnishing the great rivers and mountains of Beiyue!"

Wei Bo said: "Beiyue Chujun Mountain is located at the northernmost tip of Aquarius Island. I will say hello to that mountain god and watch the ferry go to the sea. At that time, if you don't jump too late, I don't care. You can go back slowly. Hurry up, as for going ashore at the boundary of Dongyue, Ganzhou Mountain, it depends on your mood."

Chen Lingjun was dumbfounded.

----

Qingfeng City, where business is flourishing, has been singing and dancing for hundreds of years, dynasties have changed, mountains and rivers have changed color, this Qingfeng City built at the foot of the mountain has always stood still, and emperors and monarchs have always paid respect to the Xu family.

Because of the great good fortune formed by the ancestors, the Xu family is able to sit in a fox country, which is worth half of a blessed land.

It is rumored that the fox fairy that Xu's ancestor met back then already had seven tails, but I don't know if there is one more tail now.

The fox fur beauties produced by the Xu family in Qingfeng City are expensive, and they are rare and in short supply.

It is a unique feature in Aquarius Continent. As the cross-continental ferries from Luzhou in Beiju become more frequent, the family background of Xu family in Qingfeng City has become stronger and stronger. As a result, the direct price of a fox fur talisman doubled.

The Xu family hired Danqing masters to draw the Four Beauties and the Eighteen Ladies, which were either carefully engraved or copied, plus scattered four lords of the study and folding fans. Once they were released, they were all sold out.

Some fairy families on the mountain who were at odds with Qingfeng City spoke sour words, this Xu family was only short of selling the spring palace map, if Xu Hun dared to sell this, he would be considered a real hero.

Deliberately belittling Xu Hun as a man rolling in a pile of makeup.

It's just that this man, a real Nascent Soul Brigade cultivator, has become even more powerful after possessing that weird wart armor.

In a private room of a restaurant in the downtown area of ​​Qingfeng City, a young man continued to eat. A scholar in green shirt had already put down his chopsticks, got up and stood by the window, watching the bustling crowds on the street outside. There were indeed many good-looking women.

Liu Chicheng waved his folding fan and said with a smile: "The couple in Qingfeng City, one devotes himself to cultivation, and the other manages the family to earn money. They are really a perfect match."

The young man just buried his head in eating, Liu Chicheng seldom moved his chopsticks, yet he ordered a large table of dishes, and there was a lot of food left on the table.

Liu Chicheng turned his head to look at the young man, and asked with a smile, "Gu Can, you never said why you came here for a stroll, and you deliberately left Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi aside, can you talk about it now?"

Gu Can wanted to talk to others, so she stopped her chopsticks, swallowed her food, raised her head and said, "I have a friend who was almost beaten to death by a man named Lu Zhengchun. This Lu Zhengchun is a descendant of the Lu family on Fulu Street. Now it seems that the Xu family is doing well in Qingfeng City."

In Lizhu Dongtian, there are four families and ten major surnames, Song, Li, Zhao, and Lu, all of whom are first-class sects.

It's just that the small town of Lu's had too much to do with the ruined dynasty, so it ended up being the worst one. After the Lizhu Cave fell to the ground, only the small town of Lu's had no achievements to speak of.

There was only one Lu Zhengchun who left the town together with the wife of the Xu family in Qingfeng City in the early years, and the Xu family treated her favorably. Lu's.

Liu Chicheng was not interested in that Lu Zhengchun, he just asked curiously: "A person like you also has friends?"

Gu Can nodded and said, "Yes, there are."

Liu Chicheng smiled and said, "Actually, there is only one Chen Pingan, right?"

Gu Can shook her head, "Since I was a child, he has never regarded me as a friend. There is too much age difference, and I am the same. I can be regarded as half a relative. It's different. As for Liu Xianyang, who has a wider heart than the sky, he just Because of Chen Ping'an, he got closer to me, otherwise I have never been with him, not in the past, and will not be in the future, but we are barely friends."

When Liu Xianyang returns from the Chen family of Chen Confucianism in Nanba Suozhou, he should become the direct disciple of Ruan Qiong, the Longquan Sword Sect. Back then, Liu Xianyang was taken away because his ancestor was the tomb keeper of the Chen family.

There is one thing about Liu Xianyang that Gu Can admires the most. He is born good at following the customs of the country, and there will never be any unacceptable situations.

As for myself, after arriving at Shujian Lake, even the greatest strength, patience, was completely lost.

Gu Can looked back on the seemingly beautiful Qingxia Island years, only to realize that he was walking towards death step by step.

Being young is no excuse at all.

Gu Can looked at the dishes on the table, then continued to eat with chopsticks.

Liu Chicheng said suddenly: "When we go to Baidi City in the future, these relationships should be broken as soon as we can."

Gu Can's expression was as usual, she just ate and didn't speak.

Liu Chicheng didn't think he could change Gu Can's disposition. He might have to look at his senior's preaching skills, so he changed the subject, "What did you say before that 'you're good enough'? Since you're from your same age, Is that the golden core sword cultivator? Or the Nascent Soul trainer?"

Gu Can said: "Now I am a qi practitioner in the four realms. Within ten years, I hope to enter the cave realm. Help the Xu family manage a small part of the fox country's business. If you don't practice fast, you can pile it up with fairy money."

Liu Chicheng put away his folding fan, tapped himself on the head, and said with a smile, "Little brother in the future, are you kidding me, or are you telling a joke?"

Gu Can's expression is calm, he doesn't drink, eats his chopsticks slowly, and likes to chew slowly, "If you kill someone, you have to run away, can you really have a stable and stable foothold in this life?"

Liu Chicheng laughed dumbfounded, and shook his head, "Is a trash with such unbearable cultivation worth killing and fleeing? I'm easy to talk, so you nod, and I'll help you out. It's just Xu Hun, who can't even reach the fifth level. No, little things."

Gu Can asked back: "What if? Why bother?"

Liu Chicheng was speechless.

Gu Can put down her chopsticks, smiled and said, "But if you really want to attack your mortal enemy, you have to let the other party have no one to collect the corpse."

What's more, let others make mistakes.

As for others, there are only two types, one is Chen Pingan, plus all the others, if you have to make a choice, don't worry about the latter.

In short, Chen Pingan would never want to completely separate himself from him in this life.

Liu Chicheng smiled brightly.

This kid is really more pleasing to the eye.

It was really the first time that Huang Hua's daughter got on the sedan chair to be the protector herself, but she was willing to do so and felt very comfortable.

This made Liu Chicheng want to accept disciples.

Gu Can asked: "If I really become your junior, can I learn the top magic skills?"

Liu Chicheng couldn't help laughing, "White Emperor City has a lot of collections. If you become my little junior, of course you can learn it. You can choose whatever you want, but it's hard to say whether you can learn it."

Gu Can said: "I have to learn."

Liu Chicheng tapped Gu Can with his folding fan, and said with a smile, "You are young and ignorant, and you are just dreaming."

It's not that he doesn't know about Gu Can's excellent aptitude for cultivation, or he didn't even have the idea of ​​taking him to the Shenzhou of Zhongtu as a stepping stone to return to Baidi City, but the Baidi City founded by the senior brother is not an ordinary Taoist place in the world.

It is true that Liu Chicheng has deep resentment towards his senior brother, but regardless of these old grievances, his senior brother is indeed the person Liu Chicheng respects the most in his life.

Then there is the Great Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, and then Cui Chan who has played Caiyun chess game with his senior brother.

That's all three.

Liu Chicheng couldn't help reminding: "My senior brother's temperament is unpredictable. You may reach the sky in one step, or you may become an ordinary person. What's worse, you will lose several lives. Don't think too lightly. Senior brother once In order to carve out a potential candidate for closed-door disciples, I stared at that poor guy for 600 years. For the poor guy himself, the whole eight lifetimes were actually making wedding clothes for the closed-door disciples of Baidi City in the last life. , that person reached the ninth life, but for some reason, he was still abandoned by the senior brother. The senior brother is best at distracting things, practicing, playing chess, managing Baidi City, refining weapons, accepting apprentices... There are almost no things that the senior brother is not good at, and Everything is calm and watertight."

Gu Can nodded and said, "Then I found a good master."

Liu Chicheng laughed out loud.

Gu Can got up to pay the bill.

Liu Chicheng suddenly said in surprise, "What a handsome girl."

Gu Can didn't care.

Liu Chicheng clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "It's not common, it's not common. It has a lot of background. That silver and white gourd, if I read it correctly, is one of the seven highest-ranking sword gourds."

Gu Can frowned, walked quickly to the window, and looked at the young woman who was walking slowly with a horse, wearing a red dress, a gourd of wine hanging from her waist, and a narrow knife.

It's Li Baoping.

Why did she come to Qingfeng City?

Gu Can said: "We are not in a hurry to leave, we will talk about it after she leaves Qingfeng City. Regardless of whether there is any disturbance during this period, I owe you a favor."

Liu Chicheng asked suspiciously, "Do you know this woman?"

Gu Can remained silent.

Liu Chicheng counted with his fingers, suddenly scolded his mother, and quickly covered his nose, but blood still oozed from between his fingers.

Liu Chicheng's expression was dignified, and it was rare to restrain his cynicism, and said in a deep voice: "Don't meddle! Take it as a suggestion from senior brother to you, a future junior!"

Gu Can stared at the distant figure of the woman in red, and said, "You have to get involved. If something really happens, you save her, and I will take care of myself."

Liu Chicheng said angrily, "What are you trying to figure out?!"

Gu Can closed her eyes, and began to mentally calculate all the inside information about Qingfeng City.

Liu Chicheng said hello, leaned against the window, and laughed at himself, "I'm so busy."

----

Before Zheng Dafeng went to Yang's shop, he went to the wine shop, and he was acquainted with the woman who sells wine for a long time.

The woman is pungent, and the people in the town call her Huang Erniang, but her real name has long been forgotten.

In the early years, there was a drunken man who knocked on the widow's door at night, and the woman opened the door. A kitchen knife fell across the head and covered the face. He almost killed the man and lost a lot of money afterwards. The man with the clothes is gone, and it's not worth taking the life of the boss for the sake of the second child.

What's more, Huang Erniang didn't mind the nasty talk in the wine shop. Most of them came back and forth, mostly men begging for mercy. It's just a few words of laughter and cursing, this deal is a good deal, if the handsome young people come to drink, the treatment will be different, and the bolder ones can't even roll their eyes, and they can't say who is taking advantage of whom.

The wine store is booming and overcrowded. Master Ruan, who turned from a blacksmith to a fairy in the early years, often comes here to buy wine. After coming and going, the wine of Huang Erniang's house has become a gold-lettered signboard of the town. Many foreigners are willing to buy wine here. Come here, take a breath of Dali's chief enshrining the immortal spirit of Ruan Shengren. The pastries here and the New Year's Eve shop in Qilong Lane are doing very well now.

Zheng Dafeng stood at the door of the shop, a little worried. With so many sloppy men staring at him, he guessed that Erniang Huang was thin-skinned, so she must be embarrassed to tease herself.And now that the shop is bigger and has hired two handymen, Zheng Dafeng feels that the taste of drinking is not as good as before.

It's not like when the shop business was cold back then, I was the big customer here, Huang Erniang was lying on the counter, seeing her, it was almost like seeing her man coming home, she would shake her waist every time, go around the counter, and take a bite. Brother Dafeng, or he twisted his arm, and cursed the heartless ghost in a low voice, so that he would be crumbled into a peach cake.

She insisted on holding his arm high and walking into the shop together. How could there be such a heavy hidden weapon under the sun?It was very hurtful, Zheng Dafeng was afraid of hurting his arm, every time he sat down, he had to knead for a long time before he could lift the wine bowl.

Seven or eight wine tables were full of people, Zheng Dafeng planned to come again when there were few people, never thought that there would be a table full of local men, one of them beckoned: "Yo Yo Yo, isn't this brother Da Feng? Sit here, let's talk first, today you treat guests, every wedding and wedding, how much wine I gave you, and now I help the gods on the mountain to watch the gate, how rich, sure enough, this man has money in his pocket, so he can waist Straighten."

The stooped Zheng Dafeng ran over all the way, sat on the same bench with the man, and said with a smile: "Who am I going to invite? I'm saving my daughter-in-law's money. It's no better than you, Liu Dayan, who sold two ancestral houses and sold them in the state. The other side of the city bought two big houses and a lot of shops in one go, what a grandeur, I treat you? Isn't this the face of a rich and noble man who hit your big Liu eyes?"

Big eyeballs is a local idiom, which means that people cannot be seen.

The man surnamed Liu wasn't angry at all, he was used to bickering with Zheng Dafeng, and they exchanged such little words with guns and sticks, drizzle, whoever gets angry loses.

Men don't come to the town very often in recent years. The two ancestral houses that occupy a large area were sold early, and they don't miss the old days. They used to pass by when they went to the grave, but later they didn't even bother to go to the grave. The road is too far. On the side of the road outside the mansion in Zhoucheng, burn more yellow paper, and it will be regarded as filial piety.

The man lowered his voice and said: "Do you know that the widow in Niping Lane is now a big deal, that's the real rich and powerful."

The man gave a thumbs up, "In terms of family background, that pretty widow can count on this."

The man immediately regretted and said: "If I knew it earlier, there would be more, otherwise, let alone a few houses and shops in Zhoucheng, two or three streets would have to follow my surname!"

Zheng Dafeng poured a bowl of wine himself, it wasn't the wine brought to his mouth by Huang Erniang himself, the taste was not much better, Zheng Dafeng first raised the wine bowl, offered a bowl of wine to the table, and drank it all in one gulp. , are all old neighbors who are about the same age as Liu Dayanzhu, and now they all have a family business in Zhoucheng, and live a happy life that they never dared to dream of before. Between the flirtatious little concubine who came into the house lately, there was a lot of turmoil all year round, plus those clever maids who were thinking about it, the ordinary days were more lively than the New Year's Eve in the past.

Zheng Dafeng toasted, except for a relatively simple and honest acquaintance who returned a bowl, the rest did not move, pretending not to see.

Zheng Dafeng doesn't care about these things, I'm just here to drink, why should I be ashamed?

Quickly poured another bowl of wine, Zheng Dafeng wiped his lips and said with a smile: "I don't know. I didn't know Mrs. Gu's well back then, you know it."

Big Eyeball Liu joked: "I'm so weird, she's also a pretty widow, a lady from the Gu family in Niping Lane, she's still soft-tempered, why don't you go to hook up, what's wrong, just like Huang Erniang?"

Zheng Dafeng smiled.

The man on the other bench, with a shrewd philistine face, was notoriously stingy back then, seemingly careless, and asked with a casual smile: "Da Feng, I heard you hang out with that kid from Mud Bottle Lane now? Look at you." Promising, the more you get around, the more you go back. In the early years, when you looked at the gate, you didn't care about it anyway. Now you are helping a younger generation who is inferior to you. Don't be ashamed to panic? Besides, looking at you now, it doesn't seem like you are following along. You made a lot of money. Why don't I help you? I've been a good brother for many years. Don't you still have a small shabby house on the east side of the town? "

Zheng Dafeng started pouring wine again, waved his hand and said: "Don't, my little nest, just lie down there honestly, fart big, my ass farts to the east, the window paper on the west will shake, no Worth the money or not."

The man glanced at Liu Dayan

Zhuzi, the latter immediately persuaded: "Brother Dafeng, there is money everywhere in Zhoucheng nowadays. To be honest, there is a string of copper coins on the ground now. It's not the gold and silver. I don't care to bend it." Waist! If you sell that yellow mud house and go to Zhoucheng to make a home, what kind of beautiful daughter-in-law can’t you get? Besides, when you go to Zhoucheng, our old brothers are all there, so we can help each other, no better than Is it better for people to see the gate?"

Zheng Dafeng started making paste, and he didn't refuse, just procrastinating, and next time we meet, he can still have a drink.

In the end, all the people at the table had worn out their patience for Zheng Dafeng, and they didn't pay the bill when they left.

Zheng Dafeng called a familiar face to sit down, and the familiar face called his acquaintance to drink, and then Zheng Dafeng wanted to rub the soles of his feet with oil.

I never thought that the woman had sharp eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Dafeng, are you short of money in your pocket, or are you short of handles in your crotch? But if something is missing, I can't help you."

Zheng Dafeng kept walking, pretending not to hear.

Huang Erniang slapped the table, "Zheng Dafeng! Get the hell out of here. My wife's tofu is bold enough and not afraid of knives, so you can eat whatever you want, but you dare to owe the money for the drink? Is the king of heaven borrowing your courage?"

The folk customs of the town have always been simple.

Zheng Dafeng turned around, wandered over to the counter, and whispered with a smile: "Lack of money and money, when is it not short of money, and other shortages, Huang Erniang, don't you know? Brother Long Jinghu fierce Dafeng , is by no means in vain."

Huang Erniang leaned against the counter, nibbling melon seeds, "Why don't you gamble now? You went into the mountains and fell into the sow's nest?"

Zheng Dafeng said with a playful smile: "I gamble just for fun, I never ask for money, have you seen me gamble and won?"

Then Zheng Dafeng said earnestly: "The gambling table earns tens of millions of dollars, but it is just a piece of land by the river. The money of life and death goes around for 60 years. A skill, the money of craftsmanship, is passed on for three generations. Slap the land, the money of crops, thousands of years .”

Huang Erniang rolled her eyes, "You are the only one who likes to pretend to be a scholar."

Zheng Dafeng glanced at the woman's clothes, stretched out his hand, and said, "Sister, what kind of fabric is this on your body? It's so strong, show Brother Dafeng."

The woman was just nibbling melon seeds, not dodging or evading, she really didn't believe that this guy dared to touch the fabric of her chest.

Sure enough, Zheng Dafeng withdrew his hand in resentment, pretended to find a step for himself, wiped the tabletop, and complained: "Sister, it's not that I'm talking about you, I don't know how to find a job with hard hands and feet, look at this tabletop Son, it’s oily, a fly will not be able to move its feet when it lands, and if you’re not careful, won’t it be crushed to death by two mountains?”

The woman just sneered, "How dare you call me a sister? Do the math yourself, how long has it been since you have a shop to take care of business?"

Zheng Dafeng lay on the counter, turned his head and glanced at the noisy wine table, and said with a smile: "What are you taking care of now, I don't lack my bowls of wine."

The woman took advantage of the stooped man to turn his head to look away, her eyes turned red, but she quickly covered it up.

It seems that many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

When she first opened this shop, she was still a young woman, and she was even more beautiful than she is now. She didn't have the wrinkles around her eyes, and her hands were even more supple. Back then, when she had the courage to serve wine to the guests , almost all the alcoholic eyeballs are looking at her chest, except for a young man who also looks at her chest, but he also likes to look at her little hands, and he can say a lot of pleasant things, all of which are like words in a book. , I don't quite understand it, but it makes people happy.

The shop was able to survive the early dismal years. The man in front of him helped a lot, not just drinking.

It's just that when she was the most beautiful back then, she patronized and was ashamed by those words, but now that she is older and knows more about the world, she is not so good-looking anymore.

She just felt that Zheng Dafeng was different from ordinary men.

The eyes and mouth are actually dishonest, but the hands are honest.

The woman didn't realize until later that this was the real honest man.

Zheng Dafeng turned his head, "Old rules, bookkeeping, by the way, give Brother Dafeng another bowl."

The woman dropped the bowl on the table, and went to pour the wine into the bowl herself. She faced the wine jar, and when she turned around and bent down, she knew that the man must be looking at her.

Huang Erniang poured the wine, leaned against the counter again, looked at the man who was sipping the wine, and said softly: "Liu Big Eyeball and his group are trying to get your house, so be careful. Maybe you will go back to town this time. It's coming for you."

Zheng Dafeng nodded, "It's still a girl who knows how to love others."

"Talking to you seriously!"

Huang Erniang slightly accentuated her tone, frowned and said: "Don't be careless, I heard that now that these people have money, they are not particular about doing business in Zhoucheng. The money fell into the hands of good people. In the pockets of these gangsters, you are a villain. Your dilapidated house is small, but the location is good. To the east of the town is the Immortal Tomb, and now it has become a martial temple. Over the years, how many high-ranking officials have gone to burn incense How big is it? You don’t know? But I also want to advise you, if you find a suitable buyer, just sell it, don’t hold it too close, and be careful that the yamen will buy it from you, when the time comes The price is suspended, and the price is as low as your feet, are you going to sell it or not? If you don’t sell it, will it stop in the future?”

Zheng Dafeng hummed.

So if you want to talk about dirty things, bad things, there are many in the market, and every household, who hasn't ordered chicken shit and dog shit?But if you want to say that you are smart and kind-hearted, there are actually a lot of them.Every household, who doesn't have a few bowls of clean rice?

The woman suddenly felt a little sad, "I'm getting old soon."

Zheng Dafeng smiled and said: "That's right, your son is now a scholar, and I heard that he has the nickname of a little scholar? Why, Brother Dafeng never lied to you, right? The reading seeds of Er Ba Jing and the Spring Festival couplets in the wine shop were written by that child, they look good, sister, you can wait to enjoy the blessings in the future. Family heirlooms are not about money, but about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.”

Huang Erniang glanced at him.

Zheng Dafeng pretended to be shy, and blocked it with a wine bowl, "Sister, your eyes are not serious, Brother Dafeng seems to be going out without clothes."

Huang Erniang was helpless.

She is really grateful to him for teaching the child. In the early years, the little widow carried a small oil bottle. She really wanted to cut off the meat and let the child eat, drink and wear warm clothes. No matter how big the child was, she couldn't bear it. Beating and scolding, the child will go wild, even dare to skip school, she just thinks it is not good, and she doesn't know how to teach, if she doesn't listen to persuasion, the child always agrees every time, or often goes to the river to touch her Fish, go up the mountain to catch snakes, and then Zheng Dafeng once drank, in a lot of dirty talk, hidden a sentence to earn money, you should be lenient to others, but not to your children and grandchildren.

Huang Erniang listened to it, and gave the child a good beating after a solid beating.

Huang Erniang said suddenly: "One-hearted, half-hearted, half-hearted, five-on-one, six-on-one, chaotic, almost inseparable, you are a coward."

This used to be Zheng Dafeng's cursing words when drinking in wine shops.

In fact, it doesn't have much strength, it's too sour, and it doesn't hurt to swear.

However, Erniang Huang thought it was quite interesting, so she remembered that it seemed that cursing was not the same way as those women who scolded first and then scratched their faces, as well as those country men.

Zheng Dafeng pretended not to understand, but began to complain to himself, "Single is sad and cold. How can I be poor? The mice are hungry, and they have to move. The mosquitoes and lice barely drink a few sips of wine. If you have enough money for a daughter-in-law, what girl would want to do it?" Go to the door."

Huang Erniang asked with a smile, "How old is the girl?"

Zheng Dafeng glanced at the woman, and said with a smile: "Age, it doesn't matter how old or young, it's just that it should be older."

Huang Erniang threw a handful of melon seeds at the man.

Zheng Dafeng hid himself, and when he finished drinking a bowl of wine, he put down the wine bowl, patted his face with his hand, and said, "Drink like a long whale and suck up hundreds of rivers, drunk like a jade mountain, you will collapse. Girl, you have good eyesight." what."

Huang Erniang sneered and said, "You're just a club. Get drunk, fall into the latrine, drown, or eat to death, it's up to you."

Zheng Dafeng said: "Let's go, the money will definitely be paid back in the future."

Huang Erniang suddenly asked, "Going out again?"

Zheng Dafeng said: "It's not too far away."

That land of blessed lotus roots is said to be near, but it is close to Luopo Mountain, and said to be far away, it is actually far away.

Huang Erniang lowered her voice, "I haven't suffered enough, what good is there out there?"

Zheng Dafeng turned his head and said with a smile: "I've seen a sentence in a book that Huang Siniang's family is full of flowers, but in fact it is not as good as Huang Erniang."

Huang Erniang asked: "I have to leave? Drink money, if you owe it, you will always owe it."

Zheng Dafeng shook his head and left anyway.

The woman had been watching the man with the shoulders and back gradually going away, and she couldn't see clearly a long time ago.

Zheng Dafeng came to Yang's shop to help out temporarily, the Zaohui junior sister Su Dian, and the unresponsive junior Shi Lingshan have gone to practice now.

At present, there is only one Yang family boy in the shop looking after the business, Zheng Dafeng has a thicker skin now, even if he is still not treated well by his master, anyway, he just stays in the front shop and does not go to the backyard to bother his old man.

Approaching the shop, Zheng Dafeng quietly dissipated the smell of alcohol and entered the shop. The young man dozed off there and heard the sound of Zheng Dafeng moving the small bench. Dafeng has not been around for a year or two, and he doesn't like to get involved. A bachelor who guards the gate, travels far away, loses half his life outside, and runs back in despair to continue guarding the gate. How promising can he be?If the old man of the Yang family hadn't said a few insignificant words, a scruff like Zheng Dafeng wouldn't even be able to rely on his relationship with the old man in the backyard to help the shop.

The Yang family has not been going well in recent years, and even the younger brothers of the Yang family are not doing well. In the past, the four surnames and ten clans, aside from a few, directly moved to Dali City with their families. As long as there are some people left in their hometown Yes, they are all tossing around in Zhoucheng, and they are getting better and better, and they are making money every day, so those who are young and have a little ambition are more jealous, while the old man of the Yang family is secretly cold-hearted. I don't want to take care of it anymore, a group of unworthy descendants, let it go.

The old man's only confidence is the prescription from old man Yang in the backyard.

But for this business, there are only three people in the whole family, which happens to be three generations, and it is enough to eliminate the worry of missing out.

When there are many children and grandchildren, those who are in charge of the family like to give more to those who are really promising. If they have no money, they will support them. They will not die of hunger. Those who can earn money will only get richer.

Zheng Dafeng moved a bench to sit at the door of the shop, basking in the sun does not cost money, does not bask in the sun, enjoys the flowers and the moon on the mountain, and joins the fun in the market below, two good things.

Zheng Dafeng looked up at the sun, everything can be seen in the blue sky?

I watched it like this for a long time, it was like this when I was a child, after watching it for a long time, it was not dazzling, and I didn't feel much. Later, Zheng Dafeng learned boxing and martial arts, so he didn't think much about it.

Zheng Dafeng withdrew his gaze and patted his knees, "Last year I hoped that this year would be good, but this year is still a ragged jacket. This year I think about next year, next year"

The young man at the counter muttered, "It's noisy."

Zheng Dafeng turned his head and smiled, "Is he dead?"

The young man stared and said, "How are you talking!"

Zheng Dafeng asked with a puzzled face: "Don't use your mouth, can you use your butt?"

The young man patted the table, "Zheng Dafeng, keep your mouth clean for me!"

Zheng Dafeng smiled, raised his hand and pressed a few times, and said patiently: "Keep your voice down, the tables of our common people are either used to put rice bowls or incense burners, and there is nothing else to do. Take it easy, such as the abacus, it doesn't matter. So don't slap the table, the gods of the world are disrespectful, it's not worth it."

The young man sneered: "Don't you fucking talk nonsense here. You're a cripple and a hunchback. You've been treated as a watchdog for the rest of your life. Do you really think this shop is your own home?!"

A bull's horn piercing someone is worse than a knife's mouth piercing someone.

It's just that what Zheng Dafeng had the most to learn from was not his martial arts with senior brother Li Er, but his verbal kung fu.

There are not many people in the small town, but this master of tricks has the most.

Niping Lane and Xinghua Lane are all outstanding people and masters come forth in large numbers.

It's just that Chen Pingan, the boring gourd, didn't make any moves during that period of youth. In fact, this kung fu was accumulating internal strength day after day.

Zheng Dafeng was overjoyed immediately, Sudian was too stubborn, and Shi Lingshan was too naive, finally someone who could talk and chat came, and he was so excited, Zheng Dafeng moved the stool closer to the threshold, and said with a smile: "Yang Shu, I heard Do you always like to go to the Tiefu Jiangshui Temple to burn incense? Do you know the real rules of burning incense? Apart from anything else, this kind of thing, you have to pay attention to the old score, right? Do you know why you have to hold the incense in your left hand? ? Then do you know that you are left-handed, so that would be bad?"

The young man named Yang Shu was a little swayed in his heart, but his expression was still disdainful, and he didn't bother to talk to him.

Zheng Dafeng smiled and said: "Fifteen loves the wife next door. Thirty likes other people's son. 56 Ten is a good daughter-in-law. The third wife of the Yang family has a good family style."

Yang Shu blushed immediately, and as soon as he pulled up the abacus, he slammed it hard at that bastard.

The owner of the Yang family's three-bedroom family did not have a good reputation on Fulu Street and Taoye Lane. He was the kind of rich man who "unknotted his belt".

Zheng Dafeng reached out to catch the abacus, "This is your Yang family's money-making belongings. You can't throw it away. If it breaks, who will you pay for it? I'm barefoot, and you have a little extra money. Even if you pour dirty water on me, it will work." Do you think who will pay in the end? Now you are waiting to go to the city to earn that unconscionable side fortune. Let me see, or don’t go. Read some books, you can't do it, and if you have a few more cubs with handles, there is still hope that you can rely on your descendants to honor your ancestors."

Yang Shu's face turned ashen, trembling with anger.

Zheng Dafeng shook his head and raised his hand, "Don't fight with me, my shots are neither light nor heavy, after this punch, you probably will start practicing Zuiquan, the kind of self-taught."

Yang Shu was about to bypass the counter, not fight, and go home.

Suddenly the curtain was lifted, and the old man said: "Yang Shu, you are not ashamed to compete with a gatekeeper?"

Yang Shu snorted coldly, but there was a step down, and he still had to leave Yang's shop, but his pace was slower and he walked more steadily.

When Yang Shu crossed the threshold close to the side of the gate, and finally went away, the old man Yang, who rarely came to the front of the shop, came to the door and said, "It's fun to compete with a trash? Can the other party understand human language?"

Zheng Dafeng had already stood up, trying to straighten his back as much as possible.

It is the most important thing for the elderly to accept apprentices, to respect the teacher, respect the way and offer incense.

Zheng Dafeng followed the old man to the backyard. The old man lifted the curtain, and when he passed the threshold, he put it down casually.

Old man Yang sat on the steps of the main room, knocked on the cigarette rod, and picked up the cigarette pouch on his waist.

Soon the puffing began again.

The thin bamboo tobacco stem was given by others, and the tobacco leaves were given by that little bastard Li Huai. After these years, the tobacco stem has changed from the original green color to a light bamboo yellow after being rubbed and smoked.

Old man Yang said: "What's the point of going to a small blessed land of lotus roots?"

Zheng Dafeng said: "Anyway, it's a world of grandeur."

Old man Yang glanced sideways at this disciple.

Being too smart is never a good thing.

Zheng Dafeng said helplessly: "Listen to Master."

Come on, now I really have to go far away.

Old man Yang said: "When you get there, start over again. The road will be more difficult, but as long as the road is not difficult, there will be more people. The reason why Fan Junmao became Nanyue Mountain Lord instead of you is not without reason."

Zheng Dafeng just listened to the teaching anyway.

Old man Yang asked: "Why do you think it was at this time that the fifth world was opened up for Confucianism? You know, that world has been discovered a long time ago."

Zheng Dafeng replied: "In case the great battle is imminent, all the schools of thought will not help, but instead drag their feet and make trouble in their nests. Now there is an extra piece of the world out of thin air, and if you have the ability, fight for it."

Old man Yang asked again: "Do you know why Taoism and Buddhism are the most tolerant of Taoism and Buddhism? Do you say that there is a place for Confucian academies and Buddhist temples in Qingming Tianxia?"

Zheng Dafeng's expression was dignified, and he would never be able to think of an answer to this question on his own.

Old man Yang waved his hand to disperse the smoke, and asked: "I used to call the saints of the Three Religions as Pixiu, right?"

Zheng Dafeng nodded.

The old man smiled and said, "I just don't know who it is that will slap me first."

Now Master, on his side, doesn't mind talking more.

But Zheng Dafeng somewhat misses the bleak early years when "Master seldom talks, but crosses".

Zheng Dafeng froze suddenly.

Old Man Yang sneered and said, "Finally remembered? I thought you were not as smart as Li Er, and you never convinced me."

Li Er once reminded Zheng Dafeng, think about it carefully, why Master never speaks to you more than ten words.

When Zheng Dafeng was dark under the lights, he just felt that Master felt that he was an eyesore and was unwilling to say another word.

ten.

Martial arts ten realms.

At the beginning, I was in the martial arts realm at the peak of the Yuanyou realm, and traveled south to the old dragon city, guarding the dusty shop, and then met Chen Pingan, and then broke the realm, almost, really just almost, and broke two bottlenecks in a row , From the eighth realm directly to the tenth realm!

Old man Yang sneered and said, "If you had the ability to let me say one more word back then, you would have already reached the tenth realm. How could there be so many smoky things now. You wandered here and there, and asked with Qi Jingchun, and with that old man Yao Just chatting, so what? Is it the tenth realm or the eleventh realm now? Well, multiplying by two is almost enough."

Zheng Dafeng is quite used to such a master.

But Zheng Dafeng seldom spoke back once, "Mr. Qi and old man Yao are still very knowledgeable. It's because I have poor comprehension and can't learn the subtleties."

"Did I tell you that your understanding is good?"

Old man Yang twisted some shredded tobacco, with a sneer on his face, "What is the most painful thing about a house? The window paper is broken? The door is broken? Is this a big deal? It's the apricot flower in Niping Lane." The poor families in the alley, this little sewing money, still can’t get it out? Just say that Chen Ping’an’s ancestral house, a big kid, carried a hatchet, and went up and down the mountain, and he could replace the old with a new one. You can learn from other people’s principles. No matter how well you do it, if you think you know everything, it’s actually just a job of sticking up door gods and hanging Spring Festival couplets. In just one year, the wind and rain will fade away.”

Zheng Dafeng said: "It's a change of pillars, a big fight."

Old man Yang nodded and said: "Do you think other people's principles are really so easy to learn? The original beams and pillars have to be removed, which is a major overhaul of the mind. This is the real meaning of cultivating the mind. Competing with yourself, you have to endure."

Old man Yang sighed, "Let's not talk about it, let's talk about Qi Jingchun, who asked Xin Yijiazi in Lizhu Cave, but couldn't come up with a 'natural' way, and look at Chen Pingan, how much do you think he thinks he knows?" One truth? Not many, just a few. Being a human being, what kind of person am I? Studying, how to understand the world. Practice, how to gain a foothold, survive in the world, how to get along with the world and live better. It’s just these three things, just a few principles, whether you are a good person or not, how little can add up, and being a really good person, is it complicated? It’s so simple, but is it easy to do? It’s hard.”

Old man Yang can roughly guess the background of Qi Jingchun's knowledge back then.

The ancestor of Taoism once said, lose morality and then come to virtue, lose virtue and then benevolence, lose benevolence and then come righteousness.

Qi Jingchun was probably thinking of a way to solve this matter, maybe trying to push back, not the sequence, but the sequence.

Even Qi Jingchun's thoughts and concerns were bigger than this.

It's a pity that everything has passed.

Zheng Dafeng asked: "The disciple?"

Old man Yang asked back: "It is up to the master to lead the disciples to practice. Does it still need the master to teach the disciples how to eat and shit?"

Zheng Dafeng said: "When I go to that world, I should think about it carefully."

Old man Yang raised his hand, shook his sleeves, and fell out of the small pocket temple that had been refined and put away. The old man waved his palm, and the golden light flashed away, sinking into the center of Zheng Dafeng's eyebrows.

Zheng Dafeng remained motionless.

Old man Yang said: "Return the property to the original owner and put it on my side. It won't be an eyesore. I won't look at it anyway. It's just a shame."

Those golden lights are the soul of Zheng Dafeng.

Zheng Dafeng stood up, bent over and clasped his fists, "The disciple thanked Master for preaching and protecting the Tao."

Old man Yang swallowed his breath.

Zheng Dafeng sat down immediately.

Just standing there, not very respectful.

Zheng Dafeng turned his head to look, and not long after, a young man in Confucian shirt with flying eyebrows walked in, carrying a bamboo box and holding a walking stick.

Zheng Dafeng sullenly.

The travel-worn young man walked quickly to Old Man Yang, knelt down, kneaded his shoulders, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, your muscles and bones are still strong, like a young and strong boy, it's not too much to marry a wife. Dafeng you It's true, how can you be an apprentice without knowing how to help your master find someone? It's hard for you to find a daughter-in-law, is it also difficult to find a teacher's wife?"

Old man Yang doesn't care.

Zheng Dafeng was no longer surprised.

The sky is big and the earth is big, probably only Li Huai dared to treat the old man like this.

Old man Yang asked: "Going to study at Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain again?"

Li Huai just sat down on the ground, "That's the second thing, I'm going to fight Pei Qian, of course it's Wen Dou, we haven't seen each other for a few years, and she and I have accumulated a lot of property, so why don't we make an appointment to fight in the Patriarch Hall of Jise Peak?" In the square outside, there is a grand event in the Jianghu where the top masters fight. She walked to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and met in the academy earlier, and she said that she must pack up her treasures and fight again later. "

Li Huai said with regret: "It's a pity that Li Baoping went to travel alone. It's okay if I lose Pei Qian. If I accidentally win her, I'm afraid I won't be able to get down Luopo Mountain without Li Baoping's help."

Zheng Dafeng smiled and said, "Is there anyone else you are afraid of?"

Li Huai nodded and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of Mr. Qi, I'm afraid of Aquarius, I'm afraid of Pei Qian, I'm afraid of so many teachers and masters in the academy."

Zheng Dafeng joked: "Is Chen Ping'an afraid?"

Li Huai thought about it seriously, and said: "With him here, I won't be afraid."

On Fulu Street, there are Li Xisheng, a scholar who traveled far away to Luzhou in Beiju, Li Baoping, who studied in Dasui Shanya Academy, and Zhao Yao, who traveled far away to Shenzhou, Middle Earth.

In Taoye Lane, there is Xie Ling, the direct heir of the Longquan Sword Sect, Tao Ya, a maid from the Wei family who went to Dali Capital, and Lin Shouyi, who is peaceful in cultivating Taoism and studying well.

In Niping Lane, there is Chen Pingan, who went to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Gu Can, who set off a turbulent wave in Shujian Lake and began to dormant again, and Song Jixin, who became the king of Dali Fan, and his maid Zhigui.

In Xinghua Lane, there is Ma Kuxuan, who is known as the young genius leader of Yizhou.

Li Liu and Li Huai are siblings.

Dong Shuijing is a businessman.

Yang's shop, there are also Su shop, Shilingshan.

Those with the best luck in a small town often have strong roots, such as Li Huai and Gu Can.Gu Can was actually the one with the largest number of fallen leaves on the old pagoda tree. Without anyone noticing, that little slug back then filled a big bag.When I returned to Niping Lane and was reminded by Chen Pingan, I found so many locust leaves in my pocket.

The one with the hardest life is probably Chen Pingan.

But for all of this, nearly 15 years have passed in the blink of an eye for the children and teenagers in the streets and alleys of Lizhu Dongtian in the past. It is not smooth sailing for everyone to have their own opportunities, opportunities and achievements.

Unknowingly, in the past 15 years, many children in the small town have already reached the age of weak crowns, and the group of young boys back then will even stand in their thirties.
