There are many luxury cars and horses on the official road, or some strangers in bright clothes, except for the ignorant Pei Qian, in addition to only seeing that there is money, Chen Ping'an's vision of the three will only be better than that of the incense hander, and now there are really many qi practitioners who travel in Qingluan Country and wade through troubled waters.

Pei Qian is estimated to be still distressed about the snowflake money with incense and inscriptions, and his spirit has not eased up, and he is sick, of course, he may also be guilty of his worst handwriting.

Zhu Yong didn't make much fun of Pei Qian this time.

So the road was relatively quiet, which made Shi Rou a little uncomfortable.

According to the normal route, they will not pass through the fox charm of the lion garden, Chen Ping'an at the fork in the road that can lead to the lion garden, without any hesitation, chose to go straight to the capital, which made Shi Rou feel relieved, if she was a willful master who likes to fight all the grievances in the world, she would have to cry to death.

The Lion Garden as the private residence of the old waiter Liu, is a famous garden in the southwest direction of the suburbs of Beijing, the Liu family is a scholarly family, generations of officials, the lion garden is the generation of Liu people continue to expand and build, not the old Liu Lang's generation of soaring, overnight, so in the word incorruptible, Liu actually has nothing to criticize the place.

There used to be a good deed person who specially collected poems and articles written by literati in the past dynasties to describe the scenery of the Lion Garden, and after collecting them into a volume, the engraving was excellent, and it is said that the bookstores around the country sold well.

It's just that after they traveled more than 20 miles, the incense hander of the Hebo Temple actually caught up and sent two things, saying that it was the meaning of the temple blessing, a beautifully carved bamboo incense tube, depending on the size, there was a lot of water incense inside, and then it was the Lion Garden collection.

Chen Ping'an did not immediately accept the gift from the Hebo Ancestral Temple, and rubbed the sword gourd on his waist with the palm of his hand.

The man said bluntly, his eyes were sincere, "I know this is difficult for a strong man, but to speak from the heart, if I can, I still hope that Chen Gongzi can help the Lion Park once, the fox charm is not hurtful, seven or eight gods from all walks of life go to subdue demons, without exception, all of them are worry-free, and if Chen Gongzi is unwilling to make a move, even if he goes to the Lion Park as a sightseeing tour, when the time comes, he will do what he can, depending on the mood to choose to shoot." ”

Zhu Yong sneered: "What, do you want to suppress my young master with the word morality?"

The man smiled bitterly: "How dare I be so aggressive, let alone act like this, I really have seen Chen Gongzi, and I think of the Liu scholar, I always feel that the two of you have similar temperaments, even if you meet in Pingshui, you can talk." I heard that this concubine of the Liu family, for the sentence in the book, 'There is a place for demons to haunt you, there must be a heavenly master peach wood sword', specially went out on a long trip to find the so-called Dragon and Tiger Mountain travel immortal master, but when he walked to the Qingshan country, he suffered a disaster, and when he came back, he was already lame, and his career was cut off. ”

Chen Ping'an suddenly took the incense tube and books in the man's hand, nodded and said, "I can only say that I will take a look, and I don't guarantee that I will definitely make a move." ”

The man clenched his fists and smiled: "That's the best!"

The incense hander returned to the Hebo Temple the same way, and did not mention anything to lead Chen Ping'an to the Lion Garden.

Zhu Yong sneered: "A trader who is a small profit, does not work hard to make money, but learns the ancient way of the chivalrous man, it is really not a good job." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "The ancient road is hot, and there is no distinction between people. ”

Shi Rou's face was expressionless, but he hated the Hebo Temple to death in his heart.

The group needs to turn back more than a mile, and then fork off the official road to the Lion Park.

Pei Qian asked in a low voice, "Master, when I get to the Lion Garden, can I put a talisman on my forehead?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and reminded: "Of course you can, but remember to stick that lantern talisman, don't stick the pagoda town demon talisman, otherwise I'm afraid that the master won't want to make a move, and he will have to make a move." ”

Pei Qian agreed loudly.

Chen Ping'an suddenly asked, "Since you are so afraid, why don't you just stop Master from going to the Lion Garden?"

Pei Qian was stunned and smiled brightly, "Adults can't talk about children." ”

Chen Ping'an laughed and patted her little head.

Zhu Yong sighed: "Pei Nuxia can, the sycophant kung fu is invincible in the world." ”

Pei Qian snorted coldly: "The one who is close to ink is black, I didn't learn it from you, the master didn't teach me this!"

Zhu Yong smiled, "Then you are already better than the blue." ”

Pei Qian clenched his fists angrily, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, compared to the sycophants of Zhu's seniors, the juniors are far behind." ”

Zhu Yong returned the salute with a fist, "Where is it, the future life is terrifying." ”

With the interruption of the old and the young, I went to the Lion Park and walked leisurely and carefree.

Adjacent to the lion park in the col, if you don't count the slender stream and yellow mud path, it can actually be said to be surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Chen Ping'an said with emotion: "I knew that I should borrow a Taiping card from Cui Dongshan." ”

Zhu Yong was puzzled: "Isn't the Dali Iron Cavalry stationed in the middle of Aquarius now? There is also Guanhu Academy to confront it, whether it can go south smoothly has not yet become a foregone conclusion, otherwise the Dali Song clan will not have to go to such a great deal of trouble in the Old Dragon City, and it is also necessary to invite the Tongye Sect Du Mao, this is a measure to lure the wolf into the room, and it is easy to cause public anger in the Aquarius Continent." In the history of the lotus blessed land, there were countless feudal separatist forces that eventually lost the foundation of the country for this immediate benefit. ”

Chen Ping'an explained: "It is actually different from the history of the lotus blessed land, and Dali plans a continent to be more stable in order to have a good pattern of today's high-rise buildings...... I might as well tell you something, you will have a general idea of Da Li's far-reaching layout, after Cui Dongshan left the Baihuayuan Inn before, someone came to visit again, you know?"

Zhu Yong nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's some secret matter, so the old slave will stay in his own room." ”

Chen Ping'an patted Pei Qian's head and said with a smile: "You first tell Zhu Yong about the origin of the Taiping Nothing card." ”

After Pei Qian learned about the role of the Taiping Nothing card, she was determined to get that thing, and she thought that she must save money and buy herself a piece as soon as possible.

The Taiping Nothing Affair card was the first to be the ancestral garden of the two soldiers in the north and south of Aquarius, the military talisman of Zhenwu Mountain and Fengxue Temple, which was used to shelter the children of the soldiers who went down the mountain to practice, and the monks of Zhenwu Mountain went down the mountain to join the army, and the Dali Dynasty was of course the first choice, plus the military saint Ruan Qiong of the Fengxue Temple entered the Lizhu Cave and served as a sage, and later directly opened a sect in Longquan County, which was not destined to be an overnight decision, which meant that the Dali Song family hooked up with the Fengxue Temple a long time ago.

At the beginning, the Mo family hero Xu was weak, and the man who could easily block the sword immortal Wei Jin of the Fengxue Temple gave Chen Ping'an a jade medal to the boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in the pink skirt next to him. But now that I look back, I still underestimate Xu Weak's big strokes.

Zhu Yong listened to Pei Qian's roots in the Wufu card, and said with a smile: "Next, the young master can put the finishing touch." ”

Chen Ping'an only used the martial arts method of gathering sound into a line, and secretly said a word to Zhu Yong, "The man who went to the inn to find me is a Dali spy, holding a Taiping Nothing Affair card of the second highest grade of the Dali Dynasty." ”

Zhu Yong instantly understood, "Understood." ”

Although Qingluan is prosperous and its national strength is not weak, it is stronger than Qingshan and Yunxiao countries, but if you look at it in the entire Aquarius, it is actually still a small land, compared to those big dynasties, it is not too much to say that it is a small country.

So this means that the Dali Dynasty has long been eyeing the Qingluan Kingdom, and it is extremely heavy, and it is regarded as a must-win place for a temple.

Then the waves of the wealthy families who were affected by the war in the central part of Aquarius, the scholars migrated south and crossed the south, but they were just invited to enter the urn that Da Li had planned a long time ago.

This Qingluan country is not a paradise for refuge at all.

Zhu Yong exclaimed: "With the general trend of Banzhou, it is really a good means to simply catch the fish into the net, catch them all, and wait for the fish to be caught." No wonder the arrogant Lu Baixiang is the only one who is most fascinated by this Caiyun Spectrum national player. ”

Chen Ping'an smiled.

Previously, the Great Li National Teacher, to be precise, was half an embroidered tiger, far away in front of him, but there were four people in the picture scroll, and only Wei Xian, who was the most dangerous in the game between the two sides, took the opportunity to recognize his identity.

Between the towering green mountains and the gurgling green water, the vision suddenly opens up.

The lion park with white walls and black tiles is located in a wide mountain col.

Such as mountains and wild orchids, such as vanilla beauties.

Zhu Yong laughed and said: "The scenery is beautiful, even if you only accept this picture scroll in your eyes and hide it in your heart, this trip is worthwhile." ”

Zhu Yong always has some strange opinions, such as looking at the beautiful scenery, and the inclusion of the eyes is equivalent to the inclusion of my sleeve, which is my favorite, and it is also in my Zhu Yong's pocket.

Chen Ping'an always felt that something was wrong, but he felt that it was actually very good.

Chen Ping'an has never regarded the four people in the picture scroll as puppets, because of his own personality, but also because the four people in the picture scroll have their own merits?

In the past, the road could only accommodate one carriage, but on the way here, Chen Ping'an was very curious about these three or four miles of landscape roads, if two cars met, what should happen?

There is a towering ancient tree entrenched on the bank of the stream, and the stone cliff is snow-white and craggy.

There was a small pavilion nearby, and out came an elegant old man who looked like a steward, and a cardamom girl who was dressed elegantly.

The two walked briskly towards Chen Ping'an, and the old man asked with a smile, "Are you immortal masters who have come from afar?"

Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed.

However, the old man took the lead in helping to relieve the siege, and said to Chen Ping'an: "Presumably now that the Lion Garden has changed, the son has already known that the fox ghost has been haunting very regularly recently, and it appears once in ten years, and the last time he appeared to bewitch people's hearts, it has only been half a decade now, so if the son comes here to enjoy the scenery, it is actually enough." The debate on Buddhism and Taoism in the capital will begin in three days, and the Lion Garden does not dare to take away the beauty of people, and does not want to delay the itinerary of all the immortal masters. ”

Chen Ping'an didn't go around in circles, and said: "Then let's bother for a few days and take a look at the situation first." ”

The old steward should have seen a lot of immortal masters from all walks of life during this time, and I am afraid that those Shan Zeye Xiu, who usually don't show their heads, have not received less, so on the way to the Lion Park with Chen Ping'an, he saved a lot of circles, and directly talked to Chen Ping'an, who only reported his name and did not say the background of the teacher, and told Chen Ping'an about the current situation of the Lion Park in 1510.

The fox charm calls himself the old man, and his Taoism is extremely high, and all kinds of demon methods emerge in an endless stream, which makes people tired to deal with. The root of the calamity is that last winter in the bazaar, after this big demon saw the young lady, he was shocked, he must be a fairy Taoist, the first was to bring gift money to the door to ask for relatives, at that time his own master did not see through the handsome young man's fox demon identity, only as a fair lady, the gentleman is good, not angry, only when it is a young heart, with the youngest daughter already had a family affair, politely refused the teenager, the teenager left with a smile at that time, when the lion garden thought that the matter was revealed, but the young man came to the door again on the Chinese New Year's Eve, saying that he wanted to play ten games with Liu Lao Lang, he won and went to the church with the young lady, and he could also give the entire Liu clan and the lion garden a fairy fate, enough for chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.

Although Liu Lao Lang is good at hand talking, even if he is a few chess edicts in Qingluan Country, he will naturally not joke about his daughter's marriage and refuse again.

After that, the handsome young man came to the door every other day to entangle, and the young lady also became thinner and thinner, so haggard that he could barely walk normally, and the old waiter Liu realized that disaster was coming, and immediately asked people to go to the capital for help, but the man was a ghost hitting the wall, and walked back to the lion park again and again, and he couldn't get out of the landscape path. Fortunately, a staff member of the Lion Park was familiar with the family affairs of the immortals, and after some hard planning, it was not easy to pass on the turmoil in the Lion Park.

First of all, an old fairy of the Taoist temple in Beijing who was good with the Liu family, came generously, successfully broke through the barrier of the landscape, successfully entered the lion garden, guarded the poor girl's embroidery downstairs, set up an altar practice, and drew talismans, but the next day the lion garden found that this virtuous Longmen realm immortal was tied with his hands, and the red stripes were hung on a big tree. After being rescued, the old watcher was ashamed, and only said that this fox demon was too high, and he was not an opponent.

Since then, a group of qi practitioners have come to expel the fox demon, both chivalrous people who admire the Liu family's style, and there are also three ancestral antiques of Liu Lao Lang.

It's all embarrassing for the fox demon.

So that the fox demon said openly to the old servant Liu, it visited the lion park once in ten years, and the "old man" just invited guests from all over the world to fight with him, a fast son-in-law who rode the dragon, so as to teach the lion garden to know its power, and later became a family.

Chen Ping'an listened silently in his ears.

The cardamom girl with some freckles on the tip of her nose was the daughter of the housekeeper of the Lion Garden, and the girl did not speak all the way, and she should have accompanied her father to talk and chat in the pavilion.

Before entering the park, he glanced at the lantern talisman on Pei Qian's forehead, Chen Ping'an quietly pointed his finger, and the talisman that was extremely sensitive to yin qi did not move.

Chen Ping'an didn't have the idea of taking off the talisman, his mood was not relaxed, this bold fox demon must have its unique technique, maybe it is really a big demon of the earth immortals.

There are still three groups of monks in the Lion Garden, waiting for the fox demon to appear after half a decade.

plus Chen Ping'an, it is a group of four people.

Chen Ping'an and the others were arranged to live in the four corners of the young lady's embroidery building in the Lion Garden, but in fact, the fox demon came and went without a trace, and this kind of rough arrangement was just a little appeasement.

On the way to the residence, enjoy the pleasant scenery of the Lion Garden, the halls, pavilions, bridges, walls, plants, plaques, and couplets, all of which give people a comfortable feeling of genius.

Scholarly family, if it is rich and expensive, in this private garden, walking in it, even if you don't deal with people, no piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, drinking and tea, you can be so pleasing to the eye.

There is no room full of gold and jade as imagined by the people in the market, and there will be no few gold poles and a few silver stools at home.

The prime minister's concierge has seven officials, and there is no dog barking in front of the family's house.

If you don't talk about the power, just talk about the perception of the door, some of the noble families that have suddenly risen up are not comparable to the real hairpin family.

Chen Ping'an and the four of them live in an elegant independent courtyard, in fact, the location has passed the flower courtyard, only a hundred steps away from the embroidery building, in the customs and etiquette are not in line, Aquarius some places with unique science, will be extremely particular about women's doors do not go out of the two doors, and there is the so-called good family, but now the girl's life is difficult to protect, and the father of the old servant Liu is not pedantic and sour, so he naturally does not care about these.

Liu Lao Shilang has three sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter has married the right family Junyan, and returned to her parents' house with her husband in the first month, and she couldn't leave without thinking about it, and stayed in the Lion Park. The rest of the children are also in such a bleak situation, only the eldest son, as a county parent official near the Hebo Temple Temple, did not go home for the New Year, only to escape, after the incident Liu Lao Lang passed out the letter, including a family letter, the wording is strict, the eldest son is not allowed to return to the lion park, must not be private.

The second son of the old waiter Liu is the most pitiful, he went out for a trip, and when he came back, he was already a lame.

It is said that it is Liu Lao Shilang, in fact, Liu Jingting is not too old, but he was born as a prodigy, and the imperial examination was extremely smooth, he was the top student in high school at the age of eighteen, and he was an official for 30 years, of which 12 years were sitting in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so after resigning and retiring before the age of 50, the government and the opposition like to be called Liu Lao Shilang.

As soon as Chen Ping'an put down his luggage, Liu Lao Lang came to the door in person, he was an old man with an elegant demeanor, with a strong literary atmosphere, although the family suffered a great disaster, but Liu Jingting still looked calm, and when he talked with Chen Ping'an, he talked and laughed, not the forced smile, but the worry and fatigue between the old man's eyebrows and eyes, which made Chen Ping'an feel better, both as the head of the family and as a father's sincere feelings.

Sending Liu Jingting outside the courtyard gate, the old waiter smiled and asked Chen Ping'an to walk around the Lion Garden more.

Back in the courtyard, Pei Qian copied the book in the house, with the talisman on his head, and he didn't take it off when he planned to sleep.

Shi Rou was a little helpless, it turned out that the yard was not big, just three living rooms, and the housekeeper of the Lion Park thought that the two elderly people were squeezing into one room, which was not considered rudeness.

Who knew that there was a female ghost with dry bones living in the remains of "Du Mao", so that Shi Rou and Zhu Yong lived in the same room, Shi Rou would rather be in the courtyard all night until dawn, anyway, as a yin thing, sleep or not, without hurting the soul.

It's just that Chen Ping'an said that he wanted her to live in the main house, and he came to live with Zhu Yong.

Shi Rou hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and thanked him.

Zhu Yong had a regretful expression on his face, and he saw that Shi Rou's heart was overturned.

Zhu Yong turned his head to look outside the courtyard gate, Chen Ping'an nodded at him, Zhu Yong got up and went to open the door, and there were six people walking in the distance, which should be two groups of qi practitioners who came to the Lion Park to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

A monk couple, the man looks older, in his forties, and the woman is relatively younger, around thirty years old, it should be the realm of Dongfu, the man carries a long sword with a sharkskin sheath, which is also the usual path of monks, if the qi practitioner travels with a sword, there will be a deterrent effect invisibly, in case it is a sword cultivation?

The palace woman, the posture of the middle, but the skin is better than the snow, which gives people some natural beauty.

The remaining four people, old and young, look at the position, led by a young man with a face like a crown of jade, is actually a pure martial artist, and the other three are the practitioners of the Eight Classics, the old man in black squats on his shoulder with a bright red scalp and a smart little fox, and the tall young man's arm is wrapped around a long snake as green as a bamboo leaf, and the young man is followed by a beautiful girl, like a personal maid.

Zhu Yong led them into the courtyard and greeted them politely with Aquarius Yayan.

The husband and wife are from the Yunxiao country, and they come from a mountain sect.

The young man's surname is Dugu, from a big dynasty in the middle of Aquarius, they are a group of four, and divided into master and servant and master and apprentice, the two sides are friends who met on the road, and together they have dealt with a group of demons and evil spirits who occupy the mountain as the king and endanger the Quartet.

The young man said that there was another one, who lived alone in the northeast corner, was a middle-aged female crown with a sword, and the Aquarius Yayan was difficult to understand, and her temperament was a little withdrawn, so she couldn't call her to come here to visit the people in the same way.

Chen Ping'an saw him off again to the gate of the hospital.

When he returned to the courtyard, he remembered the saber crown and said to himself, "It shouldn't be such a coincidence." ”

Zhu Yong asked curiously, "Is there a saying?"

Chen Ping'an nodded, "I once went to a place called Shidaofang on the inverted hanging mountain in the south of Po Saozhou. ”

The second Taoist priest has a lineage of Taoist priests, who all use magic knives and are known as Taoist priests in the division knife room.

used to be very famous in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, but later he had an encounter similar to the mysterious credit knife man of the Mo family, and slowly faded out of sight.

Shi Rou remained indifferent.

After Chen Ping'an noticed this detail, he knew that the Taoist priest of the sword room was indeed not famous in Aquarius.

The reason is very simple, it is ridiculous to say, this vein method sword dao person, all eyes are above the top, not only is the cultivation high, extremely strong, but also has a very bad temper.

I can't look down on the small place of Aquarius at all.

Chen Ping'an was on the wall of the division knife room at that time, and he once saw with his own eyes that someone posted a list to offer a reward, wanting to kill Song Changjing, the king of the Great Li Domain, on the grounds that Aquarius was such a small place, and he was not qualified to have a martial artist of the Ten Realms. In addition, the national teacher Cui Yun and the ranger Xu Weak both issued bounties on the walls. It's just that Sword Immortal Xu is weak because of an infatuated woman, and he hates because of love, and as for Cui Yun, it is because he is too notorious.

After Chen Ping'an told the rumors of the Taoist priest in the sword room.

Shi Rou's face finally changed slightly.

Zhu Yong saw Chen Ping'an looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly swore and said: "Young master, don't worry! No matter how martial the old slave is, no matter how important he is, he will not provoke a female crown from other continents who may be the master knife room, besides, if she is a moving woman, where is Zhu Yong willing to destroy the flowers with her hands, and give her the lion garden flower garden to pick flowers and fold willows to be diligent and courteous, it is too late." Alas, in this way, the old slave is really a little curious, I don't know what the posture of the female crown is, although Miss Shi Rou must have been a peerless beauty during her lifetime, but every day against Du Lao'er's skin, the old slave no longer judges people by their appearance, and it is really a little ...... I'm tired of it. ”

Zhu Yong said with annoyance: "It seems that the realm of the old slave is not enough, and he can't see through the appearance of the skin." ”

The rickety old man turned his head and apologized to Shi Rou: "Miss Shi Rou, please rest assured, I think this kind of vulgar vision is unacceptable, I have to change, if you don't mind, I Zhu Yong will live in the same room with you tonight, and exercise my state ......of mind!

Chen Ping'an coughed twice, took off the wine jug and prepared to drink.

Shi Rou's face was like frost, turned around and went to the main house, slamming the door shut.

Chen Ping'an smiled softly and asked, "When will you let her go." ”

Zhu Yong said awe-inspiringly: "The young master doesn't know, this is also the journey of my generation's merry son's spiritual cultivation. ”

Between the words, Chen Ping'an shook his sword gourd.

Zhu Yong understood.

A handsome young man in a black robe squatted on the wall, clapping his hands and shouting: "Okay, good, I said it very well to my heart, I never thought that you old man had high fist intentions, and people were even better!"

Chen Ping'an raised his head and asked: "There is a difference between immortals, demons don't commit, birds have bird paths, and rats have rat paths, can't they go their own way?"

The handsome young man sat on the wall with his legs hanging on the wall, one left and one right, and his heels gently touched the snow-white wall, and said with a smile: "The well water does not interfere with the river water, everyone is safe, the truth, it is such a reason, but I want to drink both the well water and the river water, what can you do with me?"

Suddenly, a touch of snow-white brilliance flashed from the neck of the black-robed young man.

The head fell from the wall.

There just not a drop of blood.

The figure of the handsome young man who moved his head dissipated, and it turned out to be a mysterious illusion, and in addition, there was a black fox fur as thin as a hair, fluttering in the air.

The fox demon's angry words echoed in the courtyard, "The ugly woman is so handsome! You wait, one night the uncle will definitely cover his eyes with a cloth and blow the lamp, so that you can learn the uncle's crotch swordsmanship!"

On the other side of the roof, there was an expressionless female Taoist priest, holding a snow-bright long knife, standing on the tip of the eaves, slowly retracting the knife into the sheath.

Chen Ping'an and Zhu Yong glanced at each other.

It's really a female crown of the knife room.

This female crown is a Jindan monk, and it is more tricky.

Zhu Yong didn't dare to hold it up.

Ordinary Aquarius Continent's Jindan Earth Immortal, Zhu Yong, as a martial artist in the Far Traveling Realm, should have a great chance of winning. Even if the foundation of the self-proclaimed Golden Body Realm is not good enough, it is still compared with Zheng Dafeng and Zhu Yong's previous six realms.

But against the Daoist who was able to make a great name in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, Zhu Yong didn't feel that he would definitely be able to bargain.

The middle-aged female crown with thin and sunken cheeks and a withered appearance, after collecting the knife, said slowly in the lame Aquarius Yayan: "This fox demon is in my bag, if you dare to rob it, don't blame me for not having eyes when the knife comes." ”

Zhu Yong smiled.

This temper is against the appetite.

The rickety old man was about to get up, since he had the right appetite, then he couldn't bear it.

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Yong, and then spread his palm out of the courtyard wall, signaling that the female crown of the division knife room could leave.

The figure of the saber crown disappeared in a flash.

Zhu Yong smiled and asked, "What do you say?"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "Just wait." ”

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
