(I've kept everyone waiting~)

When the snow melts, it is especially cold.

Either the roads on the official roads are muddy, or the snow on the secluded paths is so deep that it rustles when you step on them.

And according to the estimation of several earth immortal monks in Shujian Lake, at the end of this year, there will be a bigger snow in the vast territory of Shujian Lake, and at that time, in addition to Shujian Lake, the heavy snow that is rare in a hundred years will also include several Zhu Ying Dynasty vassals including Shihao Kingdom, Shujian Lake monks are naturally happy to see it, and several vassal countries are afraid that they will suffer, but I don't know if the three heavy snows after the winter will invisibly block the southward speed of the horse's hooves of the Da Li Iron Horse, and win more breathing opportunities for the Zhu Ying Dynasty, which adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness for the first time since the founding of the country.

It's just that these general trends in the world seem to have little to do with the daily life of the monks who are stable on the mountain, after all, the "world" is divided into mountains and mountains.

In the main hall of the Lingguan Temple, Zeng went to the surrounding area to collect firewood and lit a bonfire.

Chen Ping'an was still wearing a thick cotton robe, no different from Qingxia Island, but he no longer carried a sword, but used the wrong style of the sword "created" by Pei Qian, and hung a homemade bamboo knife and a large imitation canal yellow sword purchased from Ape Crying Street in Chishui City on the side of his waist.

The two of them ate dry food, this trip was the first time Zeng Ye went far away in his life, so compared to the taciturn Chen Ping'an, Zeng Ye of the young heart, it was inevitable that he was a little excited, and after passing a pass, he handed over the spectrum issued by the Qingxia Island Patriarch Hall to the border soldiers of Shihao Country, which can make Zeng Ye feel fresh, but he didn't dare to reveal it, Mr. Chen's heart is heavy, Zeng Ye is not blind, this point of human sophistication, Zeng Ye still has.

The two were almost speechless.

After Chen Ping'an ate dry food, he began to spread out a map of Shihao County, now the southern territory of Shihao is fine, only the sparse and sparse Dali Iron Cavalry Scout Cavalry roams among them, Chen Ping'an and Zeng Ye have seen twice, but in fact, the south that has not been affected by the war has also shown signs of chaos, such as the Lingguan Temple where the two are located, is an example.

This is an old Lingguan temple that has not been repaired for a long time, slightly dilapidated, according to the explanation of the nearby villagers, the old temple in charge of the incense passed away in the autumn of this year, the county government should have elected a new temple Zhu, generally speaking, as long as the person chooses a clean life, and there is a Taoist priest who is in the body to help sign, the state and county will nod, this little sesame thing, there is no need to trouble the Beijing Ministry of Rites, but as soon as the big Li barbarian comes, the world is very chaotic, and he can't take care of it, after all, the people flee and return to their hometowns afterwards, and the court will not blame, but the temple Zhu This kind of chicken rib position, but it is similar to the county order master, bear"Defending the land is responsible" four words, so the two candidates originally intended by the county government, even if the county government took a big step back, and made it clear in private that they didn't need to spend their own money to have a relationship with a certain high-ranking Taoist in the county, they were still unwilling to take office, so they dragged it out again and again, and it is estimated that when the big Li barbarians who have surrounded the capital of Shihao Kingdom have freed their hands, and then go south, this Lingguan Temple, which has little incense, will be completely lost next year's incense.

In troubled times.

The common people are too busy to take care of themselves, where can they manage the matter of entering the temple to worship incense, they are full, so they can care about whether the fairy master of the clay sculpture is full of food, which is the normal feeling of people.

Chen Ping'an handed over the bamboo box to Zeng Ye to carry, and there was the ghost magic weapon that came from the secret treasury of Qingxia Island on credit inside, and "went to prison" Yama Palace.

As for Yu Hui's later visit to Qingxia Island, he took the initiative to sell the high-quality spiritual weapon that imitated the glazed pavilion to Chen Ping'an, and temporarily put it in the close distance for Chen Ping'an, twelve houses that can warm up the ghosts and the like, and they are all full of yin spirits and ghosts with relatively full and complete souls, except for one of them, the remaining eleven yin ghosts are all qi practitioners who are still dead under the hands of Tan Xue in the Five Realms before their deaths, and their anger is relatively heavy and their obsessions are deeper.

Although Zeng Ye's cultivation qualifications are mediocre and his temperament is reckless, he is a tall young man with diligent hands and feet and a living eye.

However, Chen Ping'an is not the kind of immortal master who is accustomed to brocade clothes and jade food, and he does not need to serve, so the two of them who are like masters and apprentices but have no master-apprentice status, they go in harmony and nature along the way. More than 20 counties, Zeng Ye has a headache, because half of them are located in the north of Shihao country, the army is chaotic, maybe you have to deal with the northern barbarians, but when I think of Mr. Chen is a fairy, Zeng Ye is a little relieved, the poor boy was taken to Shujian Lake since he was a child, and grew up as a teenager on Maoyue Island, he had never traveled with the elders of the division before, and he had not tasted the taste of "immortal master on the mountain", and he still had a trace of innate fear for the court and soldiers and horses.

It seems naïve, but in Chen Ping'an's opinion, this is right, otherwise if you encounter that strange iron cavalry from the far north, and mistakenly think that it is those ordinary soldiers and horses in the central territory of Aquarius, once there is a conflict, not to mention Zeng Ye, such a monk of the lower five realms, or a Jindan earth immortal who is enough to be above 10,000 people under Shihao Country, will run into a wall on the side of the Dali Iron Cavalry, maybe it will be the end of death.

Regarding this matter, Chen Ping'an did not deliberately remind Zeng Ye that many seemingly superficial truths must be experienced in person before they can be profound, and at least they should be heard and seen with their own eyes.

Zeng Ye began to practice, with the secret art of the immortal family taught by Mr. Chen, breathing and breathing, diligence can make up for clumsiness, the more poor and white the wild cultivation background, the more able to cherish this hard-won opportunity.

Chen Ping'an's cultivation is not easy now, and the matter of cultivating strength is naturally stagnant, and the cultivation of fist and swordsmanship and the cultivation of absorbing spiritual energy are the same.

Chen Ping'an stood up, crossed the threshold, and came to the main hall of the Lingguan Temple, frowning slightly.

There is an old saying in the village that is widely circulated, saying that one person does not live in the temple, and two people do not look at the well.

The common people may not really understand the subtleties, but those who cultivate the Tao will feel it more deeply.

When a person's heart is in the house, good thoughts are scattered like a tree, and distracting thoughts and evil thoughts will flow in, and vice versa.

Pushing to temples and Taoist temples, which were originally places where incense flourished, it was almost the same, it was originally a place where ghosts and gods sat and behaved, once there was no incense, the aura was dispersed, and it was easier to provoke the coveting and prying eyes of ghosts and ghosts.

Many literati's reading notes record a series of strange and strange things that happened in ruined temples, which is the reason.

Once between the country of Caiyi and the country of comb, Chen Ping'an encountered a fox charm in a dilapidated temple.

That time, there was a meeting and a parting.

Chen Ping'an lowered his head and held his hands, gently exhaled a mouthful of white mist, rubbed his palms together to keep warm, thought about it, and went to close the door, so as not to disturb Zeng Ye's practice.

Zeng Ye has a simple heart, but on the way to the Tao, not tenacious enough, it is easy to be distracted, so tonight to refine the aura, warm and nourish the Qi Mansion, just started, will be interrupted, have to start again, once or twice it doesn't matter, the number of times, once the formation of a Zeng Ye himself is not aware of the trajectory of the mind, is a big trouble, people's inertia, greed, etc., more so, it seems to be quietly born, righteous, in fact, in the eyes of others, there have already been traces.

Therefore, in the early stage of Zeng Ye's cultivation, Chen Ping'an had to bother more and take care of the young man.

Although he is not a master, he is quite like a protector.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an smiled dumbly.

Chen Ping'an was not only not in a heavy mood, but a little more relaxed, probably remembering some happy things in the past, so that unconsciously, his brows were stretched, and he smiled: "Come out, I know your existence." Although this Lingguan Hall has been hidden and sleeping for many years due to the withering of incense, one of the golden body Dharma clones has been hidden and sleeping for many years, and the Lingguan Master only has divinity left, which is not enough for it to appear and shelter a place, but you both have no grudges and no hatred, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, it is better than making a feud for some reason, right? You can eat the remnants of incense outside the main hall, I believe that the spiritual official behind him may not be angry, the difference between yin and yang, ordinary people often like yang and hate yin, but Taoist spiritual officials may not be like this, you die and survive, it is the will of heaven and chance, so you can wander around outside the main hall to help yourself maintain a little spiritual light, but the main hall should not enter. ”

Chen Ping'an said patiently and carefully, because many yin ghosts and ghosts who are angry, hateful or obsessive after death are muddy, and their cognition of this world is not more than when they were human beings in life, and I am afraid that they are not as good as the mountains and wild cultivators of the lower five realms like Zengye.

In Chen Ping'an's eyes, near the back door of the front hall, there are several yin things hidden there, the yin wind gusts, not rich, now it is a severe winter, the common people with a little more yang, such as young and strong men, standing in Chen Ping'an's position, may not be able to clearly feel the yin and evil qi emitted by the yin object, but if it is the people of the world who are weak and prone to calamity, they may be hit, and the yin qi invades the body, and it is easy to be infected with wind and cold, and they can't afford to get sick. The qi-tonifying drugs in the countryside may not work, because the symptoms are not cured, and the patient hurts the soul, but it is the local method of conjuring the soul and fixing the spirit that some gods and women have a fresh trick, which may be effective.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of Chen Ping'an, or if the reason makes sense, those yin things gradually receded, and I gave up my plan to enter the main hall of the Lingguan Temple.

Since they stopped, Chen Ping'an didn't say much or do anything.

The first place they want to go to on this trip is a small hill fairy house in Shihao Country, where women are in the world and walk in the yang world, Chen Ping'an often asks their opinions, you can support yourself in Zeng Ye, but if you feel awkward, you can also temporarily put yourself in a fox skin beauty talisman paper from Qingfeng City Xu in Chen Ping'an's hand, with a moving talisman woman, placed in the near world or Chen Ping'an's sleeve during the day, and can appear at night, they can follow Chen Ping'an and Zeng Ye to travel together.

Twelve fox skin beauty rune papers, like inns, are now staying in them, and they used to be Shihao people, so at night, where there is no one around, Chen Ping'an will take out the rune paper and take out the rune basket where they live, but Chen Ping'an needs to consume some snowflake money, otherwise the rune paper will be closed, so that they can't return to the yang world, and can't take a few more glances at the moving scenery of this world and can't freeze the ghosts and yin.

If it is in the usual night, Chen Ping'an and Zeng Ye are around, it is really chattering, warblers and swallows, very lively, among the twelve runes, even if there are some female femininities who do not like to communicate, but they have been together for a long time along the way, there are more or less one or two women and ghosts who are close to each other, each holding together, chatting about some boudoir words, as for the avenue and practice, it will not say a word more, it is useless to say more, and it will be sad in vain.

As for why they showed up tonight, it was Chen Ping'an who invited them to return to the rune paper, because they wanted to stay overnight in the Lingguan Temple, follow the customs of the villagers, and not offend these ancestral temples, there are a few women who are a little bolder, and they also make fun of and complain about Chen Ping'an, saying that these rules, the rural people are just that, Mr. Chen is a fairy on Qingxia Island, where do you need to pay attention, the little Lingguan Temple gods really dare to walk out of the clay statue, Mr. Chen called back. It's just that Chen Ping'an insisted, so they could only obediently return to the fox skin talisman paper carefully crafted by the Xu family.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an stood in the corridor, and the main hall behind him enshrined a red-faced, bearded, yellow-robed and gold-armored Lingguan master, holding an iron whip, and the golden rooster was independent and majestic.

According to legend, he is one of the more than 200 orthodox spiritual officials recorded in Taoism.

There is also an extremely hidden rumor, which has spread in the vast world in the past hundred years, and most of them are earth immortals such as the Great Monks of the Upper Five Realms and Liu Zhimao, who are qualified to hear about it.

That is one of the three Taoist masters who sat in Bai Yujing in the last session, the second Taoist with a true invincible reputation, proposed the genus of five hundred Taoist spiritual officials, and all the people in the three worlds, even if they were the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and even if they were not originally disciples of Taoism, whether it was the other two sects or the protégés of the hundred schools of Zhuzi, they all had the opportunity, once they accumulated enough merit and good luck, they would be able to return to their positions, and finally accompany them in the Lingguan Palace, one of the five cities of Bai Yujing, and enjoy endless incense.

Then aside from the fact that there are more than 200 spiritual officials and gods who are "ranked in the immortal class", it means that there are still half of the gods hanging empty. The destiny of heaven is waiting for the vacancy.

Chen Ping'an walked down the steps, pinched a snowball, gently tamped it with both hands, and did not go to the front hall, but just wandered around the courtyard between the two halls.

This is probably also the well water does not interfere with the river water.

Chen Ping'an thought about some things.

Nanpo Saozhou, Tongye Zhou and Fuyao Zhou, the three continents closest to the inverted hanging mountain, the heavy treasure was born, and the heroes competed with each other. Du Mao's ascension failed, and the fragments of the glazed golden body were scattered, and this great opportunity was rumored to have triggered a competition among many monks of the Five Realms on the Aquarius Continent.

Then there was the saying of the five hundred spirit officials.

This is the real trend of the world.

Among them, Chen Ping'an also personally experienced the Tongyezhou Rebellion, and was slightly affected by the pond fish, fortunately, it was not a worry about his life, but he was handed out a jade plaque of the Patriarch's Hall of Taiping Mountain, the "young Taoist", and the calculation was very miserable.

Zhong Kui became a ghost because of this, and lost his identity as a gentleman of the academy.

On the avenue, the danger is dangerous and dangerous, but the mystery is more mysterious, that is, the risk and opportunity coexist, whether it is fishing in troubled waters, profit, or even getting rich overnight, far better than a hundred years of accumulation, or the avenue is damaged, a slump, in the final analysis, it depends on whether the cultivator's own ability is high. Under the sweep of the general trend, Zhong Kui of Taiping Mountain is like this, and so is Du Mao of Tongye Sect, and he will not distinguish between good and evil.

These things, knowing them, may not be useful, but knowing the context is definitely better than keeping them in the dark from beginning to end.

Because this trip has to go through various states and counties in the north and south of Shihao Country, Chen Ping'an knows a lot about the rivers and lakes and customs of Shihao Country in Qingxia Island.

Shihao country advocates Taoism, worships a Taoist scattered immortal real person as a national teacher, the so-called scattered immortals, naturally is not in the four main veins of Taoism, among which the Taoist ancestor seat under the three veins, the style of the Taoist robe is also different, but the crown on the head is the easiest to distinguish, respectively, the hibiscus crown, the fishtail crown and the lotus crown, the Taoist priest in the Taoist door of the rank of the level, the crown of the Taoist also has a lot of subtleties. In addition, it is the Longhu Mountain lineage of the Middle Earth Divine Continent, which belongs to the local Taoist forces in the world.

It is rumored that this time to block the southward movement of the northern barbarian Dali Iron Cavalry, the real people who protect the country called for wind and rain in front of the battle, scattered beans into soldiers, and protected the capital without loss, which was a great achievement.

In addition to these paper news from the Xianjiadi newspaper on Liuxu Island, Chen Ping'an also made a special trip to set up a banquet in Chishui City, and found an opportunity to feast Gu Can's two brothers, Han Jingling, the prince of Shihao Kingdom, who had fled for nearly a year, and Huang He, the son of the general of Shihaoguo's border army.

Chen Ping'an asked a lot, chatted shallowly, and was polite.

Although Han Jingling is His Royal Highness the Prince of Shihao Kingdom, one of His Majesty's sisters-in-law today, a noble Tianhuang who has been out of Beijing for many years, but before the war was fought, he found an excuse to leave his domain and quickly went south to take refuge, it is not difficult to guess what kind of temperament he has. However, the world is unpredictable, Da Li Iron Cavalry went south, and everywhere he went, in the north of the stubborn Shihao country, there was often no grass and the war was fierce, but it was Han Jingling's jurisdiction, because the dragons had no leader, they escaped a catastrophe, and there was no military accident, in the territory under their jurisdiction, Han Jingling inexplicably had the reputation of a "virtuous king", but Chen Ping'an knew that most of this was Han Jingling's staff members who were helping the dragons around him, helping to make suggestions.

When Han Jingling faced the famous Mr. Qingxia Island Bookkeeper, he naturally knew everything and said everything, and he couldn't wait to take out his heart, liver and lungs to take a look at Mr. Chen, who had been famous in Shujian Lake several times. Huang He, the son-in-law of the general of Shihao Kingdom, left Shujian Lake before, and went to plan with his Lao Tzu, who had taken refuge in Dali Iron Cavalry, to support Han Jingling as the new emperor of Shihao Kingdom, and it is said that he had already seen Su Gaoshan, so this trip back to Shujian Lake Chishui City was to report good news to Han Jingling.

Chen Ping'an didn't give them the opportunity to call him brothers, and of course Han Jingling and Huang He didn't have the courage to do so. However, there are subtle differences between the two hearts, the former is in difficulty, and the heart is not high, as for what kind of situation will it be after successfully becoming the new emperor of Shihao Kingdom, will he regret his groveling at the banquet in Chishui City, Han Jingling should not have been able to think of that step for the time being, Chen Ping'an doesn't care. As for the latter, in the face of Chen Ping'an, Huang He seemed to be more humble than Han Jingling, hiding a trace of thoughts that seemed to be gradually tightening the bowstring, because the great Li military general Su Gaoshan, this majestic mountain, was like giving them a great reassurance to the Huang clan of the border army, and one day they really fell on this backer, not to mention the little devil Gu Can, who was no longer rebellious, even if it was Chen Ping'an, I am afraid that when they meet again in the future, they will have to treat him with courtesy to Huang He.

These subtle aspects of people's hearts are about to move, Chen Ping'an just silently watched in his eyes.

As for the Liuxu Island Mansion newspaper, the emperor of Shihao issued an edict to the government and the opposition, which used the words "arrogant and indulging in the army, arranging the army and harming the people", and the father of Huang He, who was once named "Zhongyi Marquis" by the first emperor, was conclusive.

Huang He, who had been giving Chen Ping'an and Han Jingling a drink and said little, only mentioned this matter, his expression was a little flamboyant, and his face was full of smiles, saying that after his father heard the edict, he was not angry, and only said the words "angry".

Chen Ping'an looked at the high-spirited young face at that time, and drank a glass of wine alone, when he saw him lifting the wine glass, Han Jingling hurriedly greeted Huang He and drank together.

There is a bit of a sense of participating in the grand event.

made Chen Ping'an cry and laugh.

On this kind of wine table, there is all the fucking knowledge, and the best wine has no taste.

After the banquet that seemed to be happy and enjoyable for the guests and guests dispersed, Chen Ping'an returned to Qingxia Island alone, and Chen Ping'an glanced at Su Gaoshan, the great military general, again, and last time, it was because of Tan Yuanyi's advance and retreat on Lisu Island.

Chen Ping'an came back to his senses.

It turned out that there was a tall yin in armor on the front hall, and he may have been a battlefield captain with an official body before his death.

This yin creature walked out of the front hall, crossed the threshold with his left foot, and said with a fist: "This immortal master, we and our subordinates were offended before, and we almost disturbed the spirit official master of the main hall. ”

Speaking of this, the pale-faced captain Yin Wu smiled sadly, put away his hands, and habitually reached out to press the handle of the long knife at his waist.

Whether it is armor or a sword, it is the same as the body of the feminine, it is the illusion of various obsessions before death.

Looking at the scarred Shihao national warrior, especially the two wounds on his chest and neck that were cut out by the saber, although Chen Ping'an had not really experienced the battlefield battle between the two armies, he also knew that this person died on the battlefield and deserved the four words vigorous.

Yin Wu looked back at the front hall, then turned his head and continued: "The immortal master is a mountain person, and he may understand that we are ghosts who are disgusted by heaven and earth, the more we die, the more intense the idea of life is stronger than that of the living, as long as I can survive, I will do whatever it takes, so after the battle died, I and my fellow townsmen under my command, the ghost is not gone, day and night travel, all the way to the south, come here, some brothers can not support, in the middle of the way has been scattered, some to the hometown, have seen their wives and children, parents, mostly in the ancestral hall, Those places in the ancestral tomb can be regarded as safe on the road, but there are also many brothers who are becoming more and more demonic, as long as they meet living people at night, they want to devour their yang energy, or pass through places like the local Lingguan Temple, where there are no gods to sit in, regardless of it, they want to have a full meal, it is extremely difficult to restrain it, and it is becoming more and more difficult to ......"

Chen Ping'an nodded and asked, "Dare to ask this general, if someone in the robe wants to do this, such as harming the people halfway, and can't stop it, how should the general deal with himself?"

It's a very unsettling question.

The military general gently pushed the scabbard of the knife, his face was full of pain, but he did not hesitate at all, "I have to ask my knife, whether I agree or not! Before our death, we were warriors who defended the country, since we died in battle, then we have no way to serve the country, but if you want to say that you are dead, you will go to kill the people, and you will pass my pass first." ”

The general's yin took a deep breath and grinned, " We are also from the earliest Yin soldiers in the eyes of the common people, more than 600, to less than 10 now, we have not killed any of the people in the yang world, but in the mass graves all over the place, we have exterminated nearly 100 lonely souls and wild ghosts full of anger, but it is a pity that the monks in our army, at that time one ran faster than the other, so that I didn't have time to ask after my death, I don't know if our behavior of eliminating harm for the people, can we accumulate yin virtue for the brothers, and have a good birth in the next life。 ”

Chen Ping'an first bowed his fists and saluted, then withdrew his hand, and said in a deep voice in an undoubted firm tone: "Heaven and earth are selfless, but people have a way, I believe that the general and the robe will have the shade of yin and virtue, which can protect themselves and benefit the descendants of the family!"

As soon as the military general heard this convincing sentence from the mouth of the immortal master himself, an iron-clad warrior on the battlefield actually cried on the spot and turned his head, "Did you hear it, I didn't lie to you!"

On the back door of the front hall, a number of military soldiers appeared, each holding their fists, I don't know whether to thank the military general who lives and dies together, or to the young man in the blue cotton robe for his "coffin closure".

When the heavens and the earth are cold and the bones are frozen, and when the mountains and rivers of a country are shattered, the iron armor on their bodies is clanging.

In the darkness of the night, Chen Ping'an took out a pen and paper and recorded the names and origins of the more than 600 yin objects in the generals, saying that in the future, there would be friends who would hold two Sunday Jiao and water and land dojos, and he could try it and help them list their names in it. During the period, Zeng Ye, who had come to an end of his practice tonight, after opening the door of the main hall, gave Chen Ping'an and the dozen or so Yin soldiers a lot of help, Chen Ping'an's Aquarius Yayan, of course, was extremely familiar, but he was not unfamiliar with the official language of the Zhu Ying Dynasty used by the monks and the people in the Shujian Lake area, but when the generals and soldiers brought the accents from all over Shihao Kingdom, they had a headache, and it just happened that Zeng Ye could "match".

was busy until the rooster crowed, and Chen Ping'an finally recorded all the names.

For the yin thing, the rooster crow does not necessarily have to retreat, some of the ghosts with strong yin energy, as long as it is not the noon time when the sun is exposed, walking in the sun during the day, may be the same unimpeded, but the rooster cries and rests on the yin thing, some of which are similar to the sunrise of a living person, almost instinctive.

The military general surnamed Wei who died in battle, after Chen Ping'an put away the pen and paper, said that he was about to leave, and wanted to go for a walk outside the Lingguan Temple with Chen Xianshi, of course Chen Ping'an would not refuse.

The two walked through the front hall, and after stepping out of the gate, the military general Yin Wu laughed softly: "Immortal Master Chen is a spectrum immortal master from a foreign country, right? ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "From the north." ”

The military general subconsciously rubbed his neck and said with a smile: "Even if it's from Da Li, it doesn't matter." I have to admit that the big Li iron cavalry is really ...... Amazing, on the battle array, the two sides don't need to go to the battlefield with the monks at all, one thinks it's unnecessary, the other doesn't dare to die, fight, almost the same strength, but the battlefield situation is completely one-sided, or that big Li soldiers and horses, because of our dismount to fight, battlefield skills, and momentum, our Shihao national soldiers can't compare with others, it's one thing to lose a nest and be aggrieved, otherwise my brothers and I won't die blindly, but then again, I am also a little convinced. ”

Chen Ping'an snorted.

The military general stopped, "I don't ask anything, but I'm not stupid, I know that Immortal Master Chen is actually the one who is going to hold the Zhou Tian Jiao and Water and Land Dojo." So ......"

The military general shook his armor slightly, released the handle of the knife with his palm, and was about to kneel on one knee.

I never thought that he was held by Chen Ping'an's hands, and he couldn't kneel down alive or dead.

Chen Ping'an smiled: "No need to do this, I can't afford this big gift." ”

The military general had no choice but to give up, jokingly: "Immortal Master Chen, so polite, do you want me to die again?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Chen Ping'an clasped his hands in his sleeves, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the sky was about to be slightly bright, and the night was gradually thinning, and he said softly: "General Wei is actually much stronger than me, and he knows how to do the right thing from the beginning, so that he is really good for Paoze, I am not as vigorous and resolute as General Wei, not to mention that I am tired, but I will also be affected by everyone." ”

The military general was silent for a moment and asked: "Why don't you talk about it when you are tired? You are not happy anymore, and you are not allowed to say it? Where does it come from that you want to cause others to be affected?" Chen Xianshi, although I am an outsider, but this way down, I know that it is really not easy, especially to the robe Ze knife to each other, that sin, it is really more uncomfortable than I was beaten by the knife of the big Li iron horse, and when I felt that I couldn't get by, I privately called a few brothers under my command and beat them, otherwise I would have been driven crazy, it is estimated that the brothers have not lost their wisdom and turned into a ghost, and I will first become a ghost who harms the Quartet. So Immortal Master Chen, you shouldn't think like that. ”

Chen Ping'an pondered it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, I feel much better for General Wei to say this." ”

The military general surnamed Wei laughed and said: "I'm not a general, I'm just a martial artist from the sixth-rank official body, in fact, I'm still a commander, but a real general, running away, avoiding war, I was able to lead so many brothers......"

Speaking of this, he stomped his foot lightly and stepped on the snow on the side of the road, "It's just going to die, it's not a feat, it's just a heartwarming thing." ”

Chen Ping'an remembered something and took out a handful of snowflake money, "This is the fairy money on the mountain, you can use it to absorb spiritual energy and maintain spiritual intelligence, it is the most worthless one." ”

The military general hesitated, but still stretched out his hand to take it, and quipped: "Immortal Master Chen can give more, I don't think the immortal money is sinking, before and after death, I love money, and the most unpressing thing in the world is silver?"

Chen Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am now a bookkeeper, doing business, very shrewd, I know your origins, no more, no less, I should give you a few fairy money for night travel, the door is clear." ”

The military general surnamed Wei laughed heartily.

Okay.

Are there businessmen in the world who are afraid that others will not know that they are "shrewd"?

Chen Ping'an asked, "Since General Wei is from a guard post on the northern border of Shihao Kingdom, does he plan to send his brothers off and then return to the north alone?"

In fact, the military general surnamed Wei, who was only in his early thirties, shook his head, "You don't have to go back, my father and mother left early, and I don't have a wife or children, and the people I know in my hometown are dead." His Majesty the Emperor began to mobilize the border army on a large scale the year before last, in addition to the northern border army, which was originally hard-boned, several border troops that dared to fight and could fight tough battles were also mostly transferred to the north. ”

Chen Ping'an said slowly: "If General Wei is willing, after you have done everything, you will go to Shujian Lake Yunlou City alone to find a sword cultivator of the Eight Realms named Du Shooting Tiger, if Du Shooting Tiger is not in the city, go to the Liu family in Meizi Lane, ask their family master to introduce you, and take you to Qingxia Island by boat." Whether it is Du Shooting Tiger or the head of the Liu family, you can say that you are Chen Ping'an's friend, and when you arrive at Qingxia Island, you will be received by someone, you can live at the gate of Qingxia Island first, temporarily live in Zengye's house, and wait for us to return. If General Wei is willing, I can write a letter and give General Wei another token. ”

The military general surnamed Wei asked with a smile: "Could it be that Immortal Master Chen or a friend around him who is proficient in the method of ghost paths? and plans to train me to become a ghost general? Immortal Master Chen has a great favor to me, so I will ask this question, otherwise I will simply not open this mouth, the big deal is to promise to come down, and when the time comes, I will wander around, but I don't go to Shujian Lake, and I hope that Immortal Master Chen Haihan." To be honest, I really don't have the slightest interest in fighting and killing, if I can, even if I just wait for my soul to fly away day by day, I will accept my fate. Chen Xianshi's great kindness can only be repaid in the next life. ”

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "Although I know some ghost secret methods, and I also have two spiritual weapons suitable for ghosts and ghosts to live in, but I don't want General Wei to use it for me, but I don't want General Wei to dissipate into the world like this, as long as I go to Qingxia Island, I will stay in the future, as long as I can trust me, it will be decided by General Wei himself, even if General Wei wants to become a ghost general, I will not nod and agree, this is not only humiliating, but also self-humiliating." ”

The yin surnamed Wei hugged his fists and said: "As soon as I say this, I am relieved, living a few more days is earning a few days, as for how much immortal money Chen Xianshi consumed during the period, I still have that shameless sentence, I have the opportunity to pay it back in the next life! If I don't have a chance, I will be Chen Xianshi, the account man, and I will not be shrewd enough!"

Chen Ping'an took off his sword raiser and took a sip of wine.

It's rare not to refresh yourself, but just to drink.

Back at the Lingguan Temple, Chen Ping'an wrote a letter, handed over a Yang Qi lantern charm, and a small book made of purple bamboo, all of which were handed over to the military general surnamed Wei, and finally secretly stuffed him with a small summer coin.

By the end of the day.

All the femininities temporarily inhabit the front hall of the Lingguan Temple.

Chen Ping'an returned to the main hall, Zeng Ye had already packed his luggage and carried the bamboo box.

Chen Ping'an clenched his fists at the painted statue and said apologetically: "The two of us settled here tonight, and there are also a group of Yin soldiers in the front hall to spend the night, so there is a lot of trouble. ”

Zeng Ye had no choice but to clench his fists together and confess.

When they walked out of the main hall and passed by the front hall, the military general surnamed Wei just hugged the two of them and did not say any more words of gratitude.

After leaving the Lingguan Temple, they continued to travel north, and the two of them walked in the snow, Zeng Ye asked softly, "Mr. Chen, can you ask a question?"

Chen Ping'an was bending down to grab a handful of snow, washed his face casually, and said with a smile: "Say it." ”

Zeng Ye asked: "For no reason, Mr. Chen, have you broken the bank again and again? On Maoyue Island, Master and everyone have said that our cultivators consume the most money, and if we don't know how to be frugal in small things, we are destined to have no great future in this life." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "Then do you think I have a great future now?"

Zeng Ye scratched his head and said, "Of course there is! Mr. Chen is already a great monk!"

Chen Ping'an said: "Isn't this done, anyway, I am already a great monk in your eyes, and it doesn't matter if I don't be frugal once in a while." ”

Zeng Ye always felt that Mr. Chen, who has always treated people sincerely, deliberately did not explain himself thoroughly on this issue, but seeing that Mr. Chen was not willing to elaborate, Zeng Ye was not embarrassed to get to the bottom of it.

Chen Ping'an sighed with emotion: "Last night, we stayed at the Lingguan Temple, so do you know the origin of the Lingguan and the responsibilities of these gods?"

Zeng Ye shook his head and said, "I only heard that the master said that it was a Taoist deity, which is a little older than the origin of the deity of mountains and rivers." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Then you have always heard the old saying that there is a god in the three feet of your head, right? The spirit official used to be one of the gods who pickled the merits and mistakes of everyone in the world. Although this statement is not very effective now, but I think that believing in this is much better than not believing it in the end, whether it is the common people, or we are so-called cultivators, if in my heart, the sky is not afraid of the earth, and in the end I am only afraid of the wicked and the evil ghosts, I don't think it's very good, but this is my own opinion, Zeng Ye, you don't have to care too much about this, you have heard it. ”

Zeng Ye nodded and said, "Then I'll write it down first." Maybe you'll need it someday. ”

Chen Ping'an turned his head to look at Zeng Ye and smiled.

Zeng Ye was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, did I say the wrong thing again?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and walked forward slowly, "No, you said it very well. Some truths are used to survive and help oneself live a better life, while others are used to reassure oneself. As for which truths are better and more suitable for the moment, it depends on each person's own family background and state of mind, anyway, I think they are all useful truths. In the future, you will also know such and such big truths, and when you encounter something, you will take it out, think about it more, and then make a choice. ”

Zeng Ye said sincerely: "Mr. Chen, I know a lot of truths. ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Don't talk like this in the future, there will never be a shortage of sycophants like you by your 'Mr. Chen'." ”

Zeng Ye carried a big bamboo box on his back, turned sideways, and said with a cheerful smile: "Now I am the only one who accompanies Mr. Chen, so I want to talk more about these sincere sycophants, lest Mr. Chen has not heard people talk about sycophants for too long, and he will not be able to adapt to it." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and squinted, suddenly squatted down, skillfully, pinched a palm-sized little snowman, and put it on the bamboo box behind Zeng Ye, looking at the tall boy confused.

Chen Ping'an clapped his hands, "I will take an introductory boxing pile next, it's very simple, just punch every six steps, you can learn from me, but you can learn boxing, you must ensure that the little snowman on the bamboo box can't fall down." I'll teach you three times, and then the next way, if you have anything to do, just follow this boxing pile, I don't force it, you don't have to force it, it's just a little way to relieve boredom. ”

Chen Ping'an then rehearsed Zeng Ye three times, Zeng Ye stared intently at Chen Ping'an's footsteps, and the last punch.

Chen Ping'an saw it in his eyes and asked Zeng Ye to take a look by himself.

is flat and stable, compared to the straw sandals boy in Mud Bottle Lane, it seems to be walking much better.

But Chen Ping'an sighed in his heart, he didn't know what he wanted to see, and he didn't get started for three years.

Zeng Ye's boxing comprehension is far inferior to the thin boy who stood in front of him with a firewood knife in the Rouge County City of Caiyi Country.

But it's not a big deal, just like Chen Ping'an said, it's just to let Zeng Ye find something to do, so as not to stare at himself along the way, after all, those fox skin beauty runes can't be taken out often, and Chen Ping'an is really afraid of those women who are more and more lively and unscrupulous. It's just a matter of teasing Zeng Ye, one by one secretly betting, coming to their side to secretly send Qiu Bo lamely, what are they not humiliating themselves? How many sinister rivers and lakes have I seen Chen Ping'an?

After all, Zeng Ye was a qi practitioner who was cultivated by throwing money on Maoyue Island, and his physique was strong, so he had to take the shape of the mountain-shaking fist pile, as long as Chen Ping'an didn't say anything, Zeng Ye felt quite satisfied, anyway, the little snowman on the top of the bamboo box behind him never fell to the ground crookedly.

After Chen Ping'an walked the fist pile three times, he no longer continued to walk the pile, and took out the Kanyu map from time to time to look at it.

That night, the two were going to camp out in a wilderness, and as long as there was no snow, it was actually fine.

Chen Ping'an took out a piece of fox skin beauty talisman paper, in which inhabited a female feminine object named Su Xinzhai.

She was a monk in the cave realm before her death, Shihao country, her father was patriarchal, when she was young, she was taken to Huangli Mountain by the practitioners of a fairy cave in Shihao country, and officially cultivated, practiced on the mountain for more than ten years, never went down the mountain to return to her hometown, Su Xinzhai has long been without the slightest emotional concern for the family, his father once personally went to the foot of Huangli Mountain, praying to see his daughter, Su Xinzhai is still closed, hoping that his daughter will help his son to contribute to the imperial examination, but he has to return in vain, scolding and scolding along the way, it is extremely difficult to hear, it is difficult to imagine the words of a biological father, these are secretly followed Su Xinzhai listened to it really, completely heartbroken, Su Xinzhai, who originally planned to help the family once, and then really cut off the red dust, returned to the mountain gate.

Su Xinzhai traveled down the mountain for the last time, and together with the two senior sisters and sisters, he was taken away by a Longmen Realm ancestor on Suscale Island in Shujian Lake, and finally died tragically in the mouth of the dragon, and the other two women in the same door had already died at the hands of the ancestor on Suscale Island.

Su Xinzhai appeared with the appearance of a woman painted on fox skin talisman paper, smiling skillfully and with expressive eyebrows.

She is the most open-minded and out-of-the-box of the twelve women's femininities, and many of the ghost ideas that tease Zeng Ye are her ideas.

If it weren't for the fact that she was going to enter the Huangli Mountain Realm soon, Chen Ping'an really didn't dare to invite her out.

Regarding the recent situation of Huangli Mountain, Chen Ping'an had already told Su Xinzhai everything he knew at the beginning.

The teacher she was thinking about had passed away a few years ago, but Huangli Mountain was still stable now, after all, it was only a second-rate immortal family in Shihao Country, not up or down, it was relatively easy to avoid disasters in the chaos, and the third-rate ones had already been annexed by the surrounding Immortal Cave Mansions.

There are more than 30 monks in Huangli Mountain, who belong to the spectrum immortal master recorded in the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, plus vassals such as miscellaneous servants and maids, and now there are about 200 people.

Su Xinzhai's last wish was to return to Huangli Mountain, and put three incense sticks on each of the master's grave and the ancestral hall, and there was nothing else to ask for, not even the idea of living in the Yama Hall of the Prison or imitating the Liuli Pavilion.

After Su Xinzhai appeared, he didn't make fun of Zeng Ye or the bookkeeper for the first time.

Zeng Ye felt strange, but Chen Ping'an didn't.

The proximity to the countryside is timid.

Zeng Ye was a little happy when he saw Su Xinzhai.

The young man's mind is clear to the bottom.

Chen Ping'an knew that Su Xinzhai actually knew, but she pretended to be ignorant, whether a girl is emotional or not, she is often more particular about love at first sight than an older woman.

Men are moved when they see beautiful women, and women are moved when they see men handsome, all of which are bumpy and unbreakable truths, and they are not worth making a fuss about.

Poor Zeng Ye, a tall young man, is better than the situation of Zhu Xianfu's ghost cultivator, but it is not much better.

Chen Ping'an saw that Su Xinzhai was worried, so he changed his mind and told Zeng Ye to sleep for another hour in addition to his cultivation and rush overnight.

It was rare for Zeng Ye to be able to do something for Su Xinzhai, so naturally he slapped his chest and shook the sky, and he could see that Chen Ping'an was holding his forehead, and he was still a fledgling who had never flown over the flowers.

However, Chen Ping'an still gave Zeng Ye a chance to walk away alone, leaving Su Xinzhai by the bonfire to "protect the way" for Zeng Ye who was practicing.

Chen Ping'an secretly left two flying swords over there, and then walked alone on the ridge path where the snow was loose and the snow occasionally fell.

Turning his head to look, he found that Su Xinzhai was running briskly with her skirt, and she deliberately stepped on the snow to make a sound, leaving a long series of footprints behind her, not because she was a monk in the Dongfu Realm when she was alive, but because the Xu clan of Qingfeng City was a fox skin talisman paper beauty as a cash cow, it was not difficult to do this.

The sky is high and the earth is wide, and there are no surprises.

Cultivators, step by step, climb high and look far away, and can always see more beautiful scenery than the foot of the mountain.

Su Xinzhai came to Chen Ping'an's side, walked side by side with him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen really can't be a matchmaker, can't you see that I am not moved by that stupid boy in Zeng Ye at all?"

Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly: "If you don't move, you won't be moved, I won't force you to do anything, but don't deliberately hurt people's hearts, Miss Su will be clean in the future, but I still have to get along with that stupid boy for several years." ”

Su Xinzhai pretended to be surprised, and said with a smile: "A fairy master like Mr. Chen, would he still care about the mood of a stupid boy? ”

Chen Ping'an smiled angrily: "I don't care about you. ”

Su Xinzhai suddenly wanted to reach out to grab Chen Ping'an's arm, but Chen Ping'an jumped away and dodged, glaring and saying, "Isn't it a fight?"

Su Xinzhai covered his mouth and smiled, bent down and pinched a snowball, and asked casually: "What about the small charcoal cage that Mr. Chen carries with him, I can help make a fire." ”

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "Don't waste charcoal, in Qingxia Island, don't worry anyway, someone will help add it when it runs out, here, it's gone, you have to pay for it yourself to buy it in the market, your hands are warm, but it's distressing." ”

Although Su Xinzhai has appeared many times along the way, he has long understood the door picking of this bookkeeper, but he still feels fresh and interesting.

She asked that question just to hear the answer.

Su Xinzhai walked in front of Chen Ping'an, then walked backwards, and said with a smile: "When you arrive at Huangli Mountain, Mr. Chen must have eaten a crispy and crispy Osmanthus Street twist in the town at the foot of the mountain, so it is worth the trip, and it is best to buy a hemp bag and carry it." ”

Chen Ping'an said angrily: "You pay for it?"

Su Xinzhai rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, my Mr. Chen, Old Immortal Chen, you have made such a special trip, do you still care about a few taels of silver?"

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "At first glance, she is a girl who can't live, and she dares to look down on Zeng Ye, who is honest and responsible?"

Su Xinzhai was annoyed, and threw the snowball in his hand at once, giving Chen Ping'an, who was already slightly collapsed, easy to dodge, Su Xinzhai had to pinch another snowball, Chen Ping'an was busy and said: "Stop, stop, I don't want Zeng Ye to misunderstand the two of us." ”

Su Xinzhai really gave up, and quipped: "Is Mr. Chen embarrassed by the sea, or does he have a thief's heart and no thief's courage?"

Chen Ping'an smiled: "It's not enough for outsiders." ”

Su Xinzhai looked at the young man's eyes and made a grimace, "Yo Yo Yo, it turns out that our wooden man Mr. Chen really has a girl he likes." Alas, the bet was lost again. ”

Chen Ping'an laughed.

In the end, Chen Ping'an asked Su Xinzhai to return to Zengye first, saying that he would go casually again.

Su Xinzhai made fun of the old fox at a young age, I really don't know how many girls have been harmed, so that I can have this dripping mind.

Chen Ping'an accepted it as a good word and didn't care about her.

Su Xinzhai returned to Zengye and squatted by the bonfire.

Chen Ping'an did not return for a long time.

After Zeng Ye finished practicing, he just smirked when he saw Su Xinzhai beside him.

After Chen Ping'an returned, he continued on his way.

Due to the proximity to the boundary of Xianjia Cave Mansion, Chen Ping'an did not take out the remaining nine fox skin talisman paper beauties, and in the past, he passed through the ancestral temple of the god of mountains and rivers, or the two temples of the Chenghuang Pavilion and the civil and military temples, which were also the same.

In fact, a jade plaque on Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake, there is no need to worry about the small troubles that may arise, and because of the proximity of Shihao Country to Shujian Lake, which is full of wild cultivation, most of them are not strange to many strange people and strange things on the territory of other small countries. It's just that Chen Ping'an insisted on this, and Su Xinzhai and the other nine yin things just complained a few words, not even like complaining, like they were coquettish with an elder.

Before going up the mountain, although Chen Ping'an said that he was not willing to spend money, he still bought a bag of osmanthus street twist flowers, assorted fillings, the most expensive one, distributed to Su Xinzhai and Zeng Ye, it was indeed crispy and sweet, after eating a few bites, Chen Ping'an turned around and went to buy two big bags, while people were not paying attention, secretly included in the close by, seeing Su Xinzhai's smiling face, Chen Ping'an turned a blind eye.

The two monks guarding the mountain gate of Huangli Mountain are two disciples of the Lower Five Realms who are not very well-qualified, one old and one young.

When Chen Ping'an took out the jade plaque of Qingxia Island, which was full of aura, and roughly explained his intentions, the two of them were shocked, they didn't have the slightest idea of reporting, and directly led the three of them to the mountain.

Regarding Su Xinzhai's identity and those two things, Chen Ping'an did not hide it from Huang Lishan.

The old monk actually remembered the name Su Xinzhai, after all, she was the proud son of the sky with high hopes in Huangli Mountain, but the tragic incident under the mountain made Huang Lishan not only have the slightest idea of asking for guilt, but also took the initiative to send people to Sulan Island in Shujian Lake to make amends with the ancestor who was the old immortal of Longmen Realm, of course, she also had the idea of "turning evil into good and turning bad into good", thinking of having something to do with Sulan Island, and fortunately, a banner was erected on the top of Huangli Mountain to deter those enemies from far and near. It's just that Sulin Island didn't let the monk of Huangli Mountain enter the mountain gate at that time, and he didn't have any face, but fortunately, after the monk returned to Huangli Mountain, he deliberately released some ambiguous rumors in private, which could be regarded as bringing some tangible benefits to his own master.

So I heard that it was a worshipper from Qingxia Island who showed up to visit, where did the old monk dare to slack off.

The ancestor of the Huangli Mountain Master Sect quickly walked out of the mansion, brought a few monks in power on the mountain, and personally received this unattainable Chen Da to worship.

For Shihao country, there are more than 1,000 islands in Shujian Lake, tens of thousands of unruly wild cultivators, and more than 100 of them need to remember the name firmly. It seems that the highest land immortal in the world, Huangli Mountain has no way of knowing the ups and downs of Shujian Lake in the past two months, but about Liu Zhimao's successful ascension to the throne of the monarch of the rivers and lakes, Shi Hao is still well known to everyone except for those low-end sects that are closed to the world and isolated from the world.

Su Xinzhai saw the familiar face of the ancestor of Huangli Mountain, tears welled up in his eyes, and he immediately knelt down, crying silently.

This move frightened the old ancestor and the people of Huangli Mountain.

Chen Ping'an used it tactfully, and said the words he had said to the monk of the mountain gate again.

These statements were all figured out by Su Xinzhai himself.

Chen Ping'an just copied it.

After Huang Lishan learned the "truth", everyone was relieved, for Su Xinzhai, who had changed her appearance, the little girl back then, the old ancestor of the Guanhai Realm who had never been able to enter the Longmen Realm, even after the two sides sat down, they greeted her with cold and warmth, somewhat sincere, and they couldn't fake it. For Su Xinzhai's nostalgia, it made the monks of Huangli Mountain sigh.

Then Su Xinzhai successfully went to the Patriarch Hall of the Mountain Gate to worship incense, which was handed over by the patriarch of Huangli Mountain himself.

In the end, Su Xinzhai went to the master's grave, this time only Chen Ping'an and Zeng Ye were the companions, and she herself politely rejected the patriarch of Huangli Mountain and the rest of the senior monks.

A middle-aged monk looked at the distant backs of the group, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "This Chen worship who came from Qingxia Island from afar is really ...... No one should be a man. ”

The old patriarch of Huangli Mountain said with a smile: "What are you talking about, are you praising or belittling people? It's a shame that Chen Xian is not here, otherwise, with your words, our little Huang Lishan will probably be eaten and hanged." ”

However, the old patriarch quickly stroked his beard and smiled: "But it's really a person who can't look good, his appearance is ordinary, and he doesn't have any dazzling magic weapons on his body, if it weren't for the jade plaque, it really can't be believed, such a young monk is already the first-class worship of Qingxia Island! ”

Not waiting for what the middle-aged monk wanted to say.

The old patriarch glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "It's all like this, do you still need us to do more in Huangli Mountain? It's not good to dislike good things, so you have enough to eat and hold on, and do some tricks to add to the snake?"

The middle-aged monk immediately nodded knowingly.

Although he had already walked away, Su Xinzhai keenly noticed that Chen Ping'an looked helpless, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?

Chen Ping'an shook his head with a smile, "No, you're saying good things about me." ”

Su Xinzhai asked curiously: "What, if Mr. Chen is young and promising, and it is okay, Mr. Chen can respond generously, but if you praise Mr. Chen for his handsome appearance and lofty appearance, Mr. Chen, you must not take it seriously." ”

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, and the vision of your Huangli Mountain monks is really similar." ”

Su Xinzhai smiled.

After that, she walked a little slowly.

Chen Ping'an slowed down.

In the back mountain of Huangli Mountain, where the aura is far inferior to that of Qingxia Island, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and a grave.

After the incense, kowtow.

Su Xinzhai was reluctant to get up for a long time.

Chen Ping'an squatted in the distance, grabbed a small handful of soil with his hand, and twisted it gently.

Zeng Ye looked at Su Xinzhai's figure from afar, and the young man was also sad and sad.

After Su Xinzhai got up, wiped his tears, and walked to Chen Ping'an's side, his expression relieved, and his eyebrows and eyes were no longer worried.

Chen Ping'an threw away the dirt and stood up.

Su Xinzhai smiled and said, "Mr. Chen can take back the talisman paper." ”

Chen Ping'an wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, took back the fox skin talisman paper, and put it in his sleeve.

There is only a woman's femininity in front of her.

Chen Ping'an asked: "I really don't want to live in the fox skin talisman paper? Even if there is that Zhou Tian Jiao and the water and land dojo, reincarnation, it is still ......."

Su Xinzhai had already shaken his head, "I don't regret it, not at all." ”

She took a few steps back, smiled at the bookkeeper whose face was no better than that of a feminine object, and cast a graceful blessing.

She turned her head and smiled at Zeng Ye, whose eyes were moist, "Silly boy, follow Mr. Chen in the future, practice hard, remember to be among the Middle Five Realms, and then become an earth immortal!"

Zeng Ye nodded vigorously.

Then she looked at Chen Ping'an and said softly: "May Mr. Chen, all your wishes come true and be carefree." ”

Chen Ping'an asked hoarsely, "Think about it again?"

Su Xinzhai said again: "May Mr. Chen, with that favorite girl, a fairy couple." ”

Chen Ping'an took a deep breath and raised his hand to clench his fists, "I hope to meet Miss Su again." ”

Su Xinzhai's face was full of tears, but he smiled happily: "Thousands of thousands, when the time comes, Mr. Chen won't recognize me?"

Chen Ping'an nodded lightly.

Su Xinzhai tilted his head slightly, staring at the young man's eyes, as if to determine whether he was lying, and finally smiled, "Ha, I found out that our Mr. Chen is extremely handsome." ”

Chen Ping'an squeezed out a smiling face, trembled, and stretched out his thumb, "This girl, her vision is not bad." ”

Su Xinzhai no longer has any obsession, bit by bit, he begins to scatter, like a lady's painting, burned out, ashes scattered, and returned to heaven and earth.

Chen Ping'an waved goodbye to her.

Zeng tucked his face and wept.

Finally, Chen Ping'an patted the young man's shoulder, "Let's go." ”

Zeng tucked his head and nodded slightly.

Chen Ping'an said softly: "If you really like Miss Su so much, since you haven't been able to say that you like her in the end of this life, it doesn't matter, in the next few decades and more than a hundred years, even if you look all over the world, you have to see her again, and tell her loudly that you like her." If a hundred years is not enough, then strive to become an earth immortal who competes for longevity with heaven and earth, as long as he still likes her at that time, while cultivating diligently, he travels thousands of miles to find her for a thousand years. ”

Zeng Ye raised his head suddenly, choked up, and said, "But my qualifications are poor." ”

Chen Ping'an said in a deep voice: "Zeng Ye, before you have made efforts far beyond ordinary people, you are not qualified to say that you are not talented and have poor qualifications! If you say this kind of thing to others a thousand times or ten thousand times, I don't care about you, but here with me, as long as you still want to follow me to cultivate, then you can only say it once!"

Zeng Ye was stunned.

Chen Ping'an took the lead and said the last words to Zeng Ye, " I'll wait for you at the gate of the mountain, before that, I will go to say goodbye to the monk of Huangli Mountain, you don't have to follow, you have some heartfelt words, you can stay here alone, as for whether you want to say it or not, it doesn't matter, can you really remember it for a long time, that is the proof of how much you like Miss Su, but to say something that you may not want to listen to at the moment, even if you fall in love with other girls in a few months, or a few years later, I will not look down on you because of this, but if you ...... If you can always remember Miss Su, I will definitely look up to you Zengye!"

Chen Ping'an left Zeng Ye alone over there and returned alone to thank and say goodbye to the monk of Huangli Mountain.

Descend slowly.

Sit on the bottom steps at the mountain gate.

Turning his head, a tall boy was running down the mountain.

————

On Songhe Street, a state city where the magnates of Shihao country gathered, there is a Ma mansion with a very high threshold, which is a first-class county family, and later because he gave birth to a good daughter who is more golden than the emperor's relatives, so that the family has gone further, and in the huge state city, it is very prestigious, that is, the Thorn Shi who has always been high and arrogant, and every New Year's holiday, he will take the initiative to send people to the Ma Mansion as a guest.

At the end of the year, in the early morning of this day, the horses' hooves burst out, resounding on the bluestone street, and three riders entered the city early to come to this Songhe Street.

As the war has spread to the central part of Shihao Country, which is only separated by one state, this year's New Year, Songhe Street is no longer as joyful and full of flavor as in previous years.

The three horsemen dismounted.

A young man with a languid expression, dressed in a blue cotton robe, learned the ranger's sword.

There are two men and women leading horses around him, the woman has a graceful posture, but unfortunately she wears a hat to hide her face, and there is a sturdy young man with a bamboo box on her back.

The porter was a middle-aged man dressed as well as the county gentry, yawning, squinting at the foreigner who was the leader, a little impatient, but when he heard that this person was from Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake, he was excited, and he was completely sleepy, and immediately bowed his head and said that the immortal master would wait a while, and he would go to report to the head of the family. The porter ran quickly, not forgetting to turn around and smile and beg the young immortal master not to be in a hurry, he must go and return quickly.

The mansion was vast, and after about half a burnt incense, the sweaty porter hurried over with a thin and elegant man with frosty white temples.

Behind the two of them, the old man who is not in a hurry but is not slow at all, Mr. Jiajuku.

The woman under the hat was already in tears, but she bit her lip and did not speak.

Chen Ping'an took out the jade plate, and the old gentleman took it, both sides of the front and back, carefully examined it, handed it back to Chen Ping'an, and said softly: "I don't know that the immortal master is here, and it is not welcome." ”

The head of the Ma family was surprised and in awe in his heart, and hurriedly invited the three people from Qingxia Island who came from afar to enter his mansion.

The head of the Ma family originally wanted to open the door to show his sincerity, but he politely refused to the young immortal master.

Chen Ping'an followed the wording that had been discussed early with this Ma mansion, the daughter of the glorious lintel, and the head of the family who was nearly half a hundred years old but well-maintained, and went straight to the point: "Ma Duyi was in Shujian Lake, the first was a monk of Songfeng Island, and he was thrown under an old monk named Shao Dongtian, and there was no hope at all. ”

These words, as a guest, were actually very polite and condescending, which was very in line with the tone of a Shujianhu monk, and also in line with the mountain demeanor of the top spectrum immortal master of Shihao Country.

But whether it is the head of the Ma family or the family worship, he thinks that this is the right way.

Otherwise, I really have to immediately weigh the identity of this young man's worship, whether it is a fraud, and seeing that the Ma family is now in danger, he deceived his own head. Otherwise, at most, it will be good to eat and drink, and serve a meal diligently, so as to send the gods out quickly, for the sake of safety, so as not to cause extraneous branches, after all, what Ma needs now is a real charcoal in the snow, not a painless icing on the cake.

Although he is still suspicious of the so-called Qingxia Island worship identity of young people, there are more elements of belief in the end, so the kind words become more polite, almost flattering.

Anyway, a basket of kind words doesn't cost a penny.

Ma's family background today is not just based on the bitter ancestors, generations and children and grandchildren reading the sage books.

The only trouble is that Ma has been too beautiful in the past few decades, too much left and right, and wants to earn any money, but he has made a lot of trouble, and Ma is not afraid of spending silver to settle the trouble, and he is afraid of spending a lot of money.

If this young immortal master is really Ma Duyi's new uncle, then everything is really fine!

Today's Shihao country, from the capital to the locality, is boiling, and an immortal monk with enough weight is more effective than the poor big guys in the six yamen!

Entering the lobby of the mansion, Chen Ping'an was still concise and to the point, saying that Ma Duyi had a good relationship with him, if the Ma family was in trouble, he could try to help a little, and if the family business was stable, then see if the family had any good seedlings suitable for cultivation, in case there was such a blessing, as for whether to send that good seedling to Shujian Lake to practice or leave a sum of fairy money, both can be.

Three days later, the three rode out of the city.

The woman who always wore a hat looked back at the city wall of the state city, and her eyes were complicated.

Ma's urgent need, after a young worshipper from Qingxia Island appeared, he went to the Assassin's Mansion and was able to spend it peacefully.

A child of the Ma family, who barely has the qualifications of the four or five realms of qi practitioners, took refuge in an old immortal sect in a state city and began to cultivate, not the kind of registered disciple, but a veritable disciple, who needs to be recorded in the imperial court yamen unmistakably, which means that the child, on the premise of having a famous teacher, has a steady stream of fairy money in the family, which can enter his master's pocket every year, of course, it will not be all used to pave the way for the child to cultivate the way, but no matter what, that child is equivalent to having no worries, more or less, he will get a part of his own real benefits。

Chen Ping'an sat on horseback and did not speak.

It is Zeng Ye, a young man who is not very enlightened in terms of human feelings, in the past few days in the Ma Mansion, he has seen that from the head of the Ma family to the woman, there is no affection for his daughter Ma Duyi, who has long left his side...... In short, about Ma Duyi's change from a monk on Songfeng Island to a monk on Qingxia Island, the couple also asked a word or two, but it was like a kind of entertainment on the wine table and officialdom, some scenes have to be said, questions and answers, in fact, it doesn't matter, otherwise the appearance will be ugly, that's all.

The estrangement of father-daughter, mother-daughter relationship, maybe Ma Duyi has been away from home for too many years, and his practice on Songfeng Island is not smooth, which makes the old ancestor disappointed, and he is only a monk of the Five Realms until his death, and he has not been able to leave Shujian Lake to return to his hometown to visit relatives, so the distance between the two sides is too far, maybe the parents feel that they have become disparity with their daughters, or maybe the family heirs are thriving, and the children under Chenghuan's knees will naturally be more pleasing to the elders than the daughters who "marry far away...... There can be a thousand reasons for this, but there is only one fact.

At this time, any words that outsiders say will only be a knife in their hearts, and every word they say will hurt a word.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an hinted at Zeng Ye with his eyes during a stop from the horse, so that this simple young man who couldn't help but open his mouth to comfort him not to say anything.

Chen Ping'an didn't put away the fox skin beauty talisman where Ma Duyi lived, let her ride a horse to relax, and followed them to the next place.

After two days, Zeng Ye's eyes began to change, and his appearance and voice were no different, but the eyes of people are the spiritual gathering place of physiognomy, and it is easy to affect others' perception of the entire physiognomy.

Ma Duyi finally stopped losing his soul, probably because he thought that Zeng Ye's current situation was more interesting.

It was a miscellaneous ghost of Qingxia Island, and it began to possess Zeng Ye, which was still different from the "please go to the gods" and "open the door to the spirit" that ordinary Shan Zeye Xiu was good at.

As for the real doorway, Ma Duyi certainly can't see the depth.

Nearby is a rural village.

I saw an old woman with a rickety figure, her clothes were plain, and even if there were some sewing, it still didn't give people a sense of dilapidation.

She was returning from the stream, holding a large bamboo basket and staggering.

This is not easy for an elderly country woman.

It is not easy for the poor to live like a rich man, but it is even more difficult to live comfortably and calmly.

"Zeng Ye" turned over and dismounted, staggered forward, ran to the old woman's side, and knelt on the ground, just kowtowing and banging.

The old woman looked dazed, hurriedly put down the bamboo basket, didn't care about the clothes that had just been cleaned, whether they would be stained with mud on the ground, squatted down, a little struggling, and wanted to help this strange young man up, and asked anxiously in a local voice that Chen Ping'an and Ma Duyi couldn't understand: "What is this? What is this......?

In the night.

In the old woman's house, there is an extra fox skin charm paper beauty, but there is actually a man living inside. On the table was a pile of immortal money left behind by a departed man, and the aura was enough for him to last for twenty years.

For the old woman to die, it is still okay to let the old woman live for the rest of her life.

After the guests traveled far away, the old woman and the "grandson" who had been away from home for many years shook hands with each other and sat opposite each other and cried.

On the country road, it was still three horses left.

Zeng Ye was still a little shaken, and he had to breathe slowly.

The three riders returned slowly.

Ma Duyi suddenly said: "The old woman is a good person, but when she learned the truth, she still shouldn't have talked to you like that, she paid her life for her life, the truth is right, but what does it have to do with you." ”

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I think it should be said that, it's right to say it." ”

Ma Duyi suddenly snorted coldly, and said with a face full of chagrin: "Look, an old woman in the countryside is more old than my ruthless father!"

Chen Ping'an turned his head and smiled: "I'm angry, right? Otherwise, when I go back to Zhoucheng, I'll help you get back that fairy money? ”

Ma Duyi, who was riding on horseback leisurely, snorted at the bookkeeper, "Don't imagine! Sure enough, it's a lard-covered bookkeeper, and I think I can earn a little." ”

Chen Ping'an laughed.

Ma Duyi suddenly smiled and said: "Do you know why my father and mother want to give me this name? Because when I was not born, the midwife said that it must be a big fat son, but after I was born, my father, who was guarding the door, was immediately dumbfounded when he heard that it was a girl, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet and left directly. But in the end, I walked back in a huff, and my mother often said to me, "Your father, when you see me for the first time, I am not at all like those ugly children, who are very good-looking, and my father is immediately happy." By the way, do you know why it's called 'Duyi'?

Chen Ping'an smiled and shook his head.

Ma Duyi shook his head like the old master of the family school who was extremely tired of him when he was young, and said: "The talent is high, supplemented by learning, and the heart and hand are corresponding, and the road is unique, Yizai!"

Chen Ping'an asked: "Isn't it 'alone in the world'?"

Ma Duyi laughed, "Okay, Master Chen, pull out the fox's tail for me?!"

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Okay, okay, just be smart." ”

Ma Duyi turned his head and asked softly, "Mr. Chen, why are you doing this to us?"

Chen Ping'an let go of the horse's reins, hugged the back of his head with both hands, and muttered, "Yes, why?"

Ma Duyi looked at the emaciated cheeks stupidly, it had nothing to do with the love between men and women, but he was a little sad when he saw it, and for a while, he even suppressed his haunting sadness.

I saw that the gentleman in the cotton robe withdrew his hand and clapped his hands, "There is an answer!"

Ma Duyi looked curious.

Mr. Bookkeeper, who has the wrong sword on his waist, at this moment, it is rare to smile so widely, "Yizai!

Ma Duyi laughed along, but he said, "What a bullshit answer." ”

Chen Ping'an clasped his hands in his sleeves and said, "If you complain again, be careful to put you away." ”

Ma Duyi was not afraid at all, and didn't take it seriously, "Where is the next place?"

Chen Ping'an smiled, squinted into the distance, and whispered, "Anyway, it's all in the world." ”

Ma Duyi suddenly said loudly: "Yizai!"

Chen Ping'an echoed with a smile: "Good." ”

The horses' hooves went away to the country villages where chickens and dogs barked.

The last and biggest snowfall of the year came unexpectedly.

Windy and snowy nights.

Long away from the village.

Ma Duyi is the yin thing, not afraid of the heavy snow, as well as the leisurely and elegant, reciting famous poems, saying that the snow is like a flying gull, and he looks forward to seeing the flat eaves ditch, and the village is deep out of the wind......

Chen Ping'an rode on horseback, looked around many times, trying to find a shelter to shelter from the wind and snow, and couldn't help but complain in a trembling voice: "Where is the wind crack, it is clear that it is going to freeze ......to death."

Ma Duyi smiled and asked, "Master Chen, at this time, is it still appropriate?"

Chen Ping'an ignored her, from sitting on horseback to standing on horseback, looking around as far as possible, and after a while, he finally found a rare light somewhere in the distance.

Chen Ping'an frowned.

This journey of the three rides belongs to the original way back, and the scene seen along the way before, Chen Ping'an silently remembered it, and there should not have been this light.

Just when Chen Ping'an was about to face the cold of the wind and snow like a knife, he continued to hurry, bypassing those vague lights.

But I found that the little light seemed to be slowly shifting, and if nothing else, the lights and the three riders would eventually converge in front of the road.

Chen Ping'an calmed down, this kind of weather, he can keep an eye on himself, and he is so far away, he can still wait for the opportunity to move, most of them are not robbers and grass cowards, but if it is really a mountain and a wild cultivator, or a monster and ghost, it is also worry-free.

The world is big, and sometimes, it may not be easy to survive, but it is easiest to find death.

Ma Duyi was a little worried, she finally noticed the vision in the distance, and asked softly, "Mr. Chen, should we take a detour?"

Chen Ping'an said indifferently: "No." ”

Ma Duyi was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until this moment, after leaving Shujian Lake, that he was probably used to the best talkative bookkeeper, and Ma Duyi remembered that in fact, this Mr. Chen, as long as he felt that he didn't need to talk well, it would really be harder to talk than anyone else!
