After shopping through Guanshui Street, the items that should be bought have been purchased, Chen Ping'an was about to go home, but Ah Liang proposed to take a boat to Chongjiang River at night, and there were few responders, only Lin Shou nodded and agreed.

Chen Ping'an didn't mind going to see the dangerous shoal after putting things away, but Li Baohua pulled his sleeve, Chen Ping'an understood, weighed some money bags, and the scattered copper coins were enough to buy sugar gourds.

Zhu Lu took his father Zhu He to go shopping for weapons shops, Li Huai yelled that he was hungry, and Ah Liang asked Yi Cheng to take him back to the pillow post for supper.

The group went their separate ways.

Lin Shouyi walked side by side with the man in the hat, and asked softly: "The predecessors said that Li Huai is the most blessed, and the seemingly newly carved "Broken Water Cliff" is the most valuable?"

Ah Liang nodded lightly, and revealed the heavenly secret: "It's just looking new, it's been a few years, the things written in the book are not valuable, and the messy water law cultivation is deliberately used to mislead people's children, but the material of the book is more precious, and it will not be moth-eaten if it is stored for hundreds of years." ”

Ah Liang took off the small gourd and poured a sip of wine, " And if I'm not mistaken, there have been a few silverfish in this book, of course, you can't see it with the naked eye, this thing belongs to one of the world's essences, extremely subtle, swimming between the lines, just like a river live fish, silverfish with the spiritual energy contained in the words of the book as bait, after growing, the largest is only the thickness of the hair, there are many kinds of silverfish in the world, the varieties in that book are ordinary, but if you take out your hand and sell it to dignitaries who like to hunt for curiosities, how should there be three thousand taels of silver, so it is one of the most valuable books in that bookstore。 ”

The boy was speechless.

The silverfish that can't even be seen can earn three thousand taels of silver when it changes hands, is it true that money is the least valuable in the world outside the town?

Ah Liang seemed to see through the young man's thoughts, and said with a smile: "When you really set foot in cultivation in the future, you will understand that the gold and silver in the eyes of the people in the market will be piled up and overspent, but in a flick of your fingers, it will be gone." Having said that, since you have to spend money like running water, it means that the vulgar yellow and white things are the most valuable. ”

Lin Shou nodded.

Ah Liang smiled: "If you tell Chen Ping'an this, he may not understand." ”

Lin Shouyi shook his head and said, "It's about money, he definitely understands." ”

Ah Liang laughed, and took the boy to the riverside of Red Candle Town, the crowd was boiling, the boy was used to the coldness of his hometown town at night, and he was a little uncomfortable, especially every time he breathed, he seemed to be able to smell the fat powder, and at first he felt the aroma was fragrant, but when he smelled too much, he felt a little tired.

When the two of them came to the river through the alley, the vision suddenly opened up, the river banks are full of heavy bluestone pavement, warblers and swallows, laughter, many beautiful women leaning on the railing of the tall building, revealing the pink arms like white lotus, how big the women's dresses are red and green, and a series of lanterns are hung on the high-rise buildings, reflecting the radiant faces of those women, more and more bewitching and moving.

Painting boats of different sizes in the river run slowly along both banks, hanging bamboo curtains, mostly two women sitting at the bow and tail of the boat, plus one rowing boat.

Compared with the high-rise woman's unbridled posture and loud solicitation of business, although those boatgirl are also dressed in spring, but there is a little more demure between their demeanors.

The younger young women are like the little jasper next door, and the older women are like the ladies of everyone. From time to time, some high-rise women will also ridicule and abuse those boatgirls who compete for business, throwing vegetables and fruits, the latter is accustomed to it, and does not care, unless they are hit on the spot, they rarely get up and scold angrily.

Once the boat girl and the Qinglou woman have a conflict, it will inevitably provoke a burst of men's applause in unison, lest the world be chaotic.

Lin Shouyi's scalp was a little numb, "Senior Ah Liang, aren't we going to Chongjiang River to enjoy the scenery?"

Ah Liang said as a scoundrel: "Since it is the confluence of three rivers, then of course this place is also a chongjiang river." ”

Lin Shouyi was speechless.

Ah Liang squatted by the river, looking at the painting boats that were slowly driving away at hand, every time a boatgirl secretly sent Qiu Bo, or greeted with soft and glutinous words, Ah Liang would silently take a sip of wine, take care of himself and break his thoughts, Lin Shouyi squatted down, pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, and intermittently heard what was like a jade, a righteous gentleman, a knife on the head of the color word, etc., Lin Shouyi couldn't help but laugh, yes, dare to love Ah Liang's predecessors are not much better than themselves?

Ah Liang turned his head slightly, looking at a small painting boat not far away, a woman with a mediocre posture sat on the bow of the boat, looking around generously, not like a woman in the leather and meat business, but like a wealthy lady on a night tour, but a twenty-eight girl rowing behind the woman, with a delicate face.

Ah Liang stood up, waited until the boat approached, and suddenly took out a dazzling gold ingot, "Is it enough?"

The woman smiled softly and did not nod or shake her head, and the rowing girl had straight eyes, eager to take the deal for her.

The woman's eyes went around the man in the hat, stretched out her finger, and nodded at the young man Lin Shouyi, "This little young master, you can board the boat alone." ”

Ah Liang quickly put away the gold ingot, "This kid is poor, he has no money!

The woman said softly, "I don't have to take any money from him." ”

The girl followed the direction of the woman's finger and saw a young man with a flushed face, with red lips and white teeth, and a graceful demeanor.

The poor man with a hat who couldn't spend the money was hung aside, his face was full of incredulity, thinking that this woman was blind, or did she have a tricky appetite, a handsome and dashing man like herself, and a man who was in her prime, didn't like it, but fell in love with Lin Shouyi, who looked like a thin bamboo pole?

Ah Liang muttered, "It's hurting feelings." ”

The woman looked at the young man with a smile, and for some reason, the plain woman was a little foxy, "Don't you get on the boat?"

Lin Shouyi shook his head.

Ah Liang sat on the steps and took a sip of wine, "Boy, hurry up and board the boat, it's just that you won't have to drink gourd wine in the future." There is no wine in the world that tastes better than flower wine. Don't miss it. ”

Lin Shou didn't move at all, but the young man rolled his eyes at the back of the man in the hat.

The painting boat had to continue walking, and the peers behind him had already begun to urge.

The woman turned her head and smiled back at the boy.

The boy was indifferent and stared at her coldly.

There are constantly painting boats swimming in front of the two of them, and the fat and thin boatgirl is spread out like a picture of a lady.

Lin Shouyi asked softly, "Ah Liang, are you waiting for her on a special trip?"

Ah Liang helped the hat, shook his head and smiled: "It's just a whim, I just want to know how big this fishing net is." ”

The young scholar sat beside him and looked at the fat powder women generously.

On the stone pavement along the riverside, there are children running around with baskets, and the crisp voice of selling apricot blossoms is sounded in the east and in the west.

Zhu Lu wanted to pick a dagger for himself, and while the blade was sharp, he hoped that the appearance would look better. I never thought that the armory shop was closed, and the girl stood at the door sullenly, without saying a word.

Zhu He comforted: "Come back tomorrow." ”

The girl leaned her back against a hitch post outside the shop and looked up at the night sky.

Zhu He asked softly, "Something on your mind?"

Zhu Lu shook his head.

Zhu He asked cautiously: "On the last leg of the journey from Qidun Mountain, Miss took the initiative to ask to ride the same mountain turtle with you, did she say something to you?"

Zhu Lu snorted and said listlessly: "Miss wants me to be polite and polite to everyone." ”

Zhu He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Miss is not wrong, when you go out, you should be kind and make money." ”

Zhu Lu said in a low voice: "That Ah Liang is okay, after all, he is from the Fengxue Temple, although he is not at all like the immortal I imagined before, but the immortal is the immortal, no matter how annoying it is, I can bear it." But what are Lin Shouyi and Li Huai, but because they have been classmates with Miss for a few years, they don't regard themselves as outsiders at all, an illegitimate son born to a cheap maid, a son who is a wreck, why should they be on an equal footing with our Miss? Especially that ......"

Seeing that she was reluctant to continue, Zhu He took over, "Chen Ping'an?"

The girl pursed her lips.

Zhu He sighed, "There are no outsiders here, what Dad said next may be a little unpleasant......

The girl suddenly rejuvenated, interrupting the man's words, "Dad, the son in the letter to the young lady, the back of the special wrote me a lot of essays, the son's book and regular script are becoming more and more perfect, the letter told me that he personally followed the people to chase and kill a group of horse thieves ups and downs, said that he met a Chen Zhuguo's eldest grandson, and also said that the scene of the peaceful fire, said that there are no strange things in the capital of Dali, and there are people riding snake pythons on the street, The crane swaggered through the city, and the people of the capital have long been surprised, the son also said that the north gate of the imperial city of the capital of Dali, there is a living golden armor gate god on the left and right, it is said that it is a Taoist sect to give Dali the founding gift, the height is four or five zhang, Dad, do you say it's fun?"

Zhu He said helplessly: "It's safer to call the second son." ”

The girl smiled, "The eldest prince is not here, not to mention that the eldest prince is so honest, even if he hears it, he will not be angry." ”

Zhu He shouted lightly: "Don't be rude!"

Zhu Lu's eyebrows and eyes are lowered, and his eyelashes move slightly.

Zhu Lu whispered: "Childe, well, it was the second son who once said to us, those who have a good life, can enjoy happiness while lying down, and those who have a bad life will suffer if they come to this world once." Li Huai's life is good, Lin Shou's life is good, he has become a student of Mountain Cliff Academy, and most of them will become famous in the future, take a step back and say, it is more than enough to be a rich man with a lot of money. ”

The girl slowly raised her head, "That Chen Ping'an's life is actually not bad, at least he doesn't have to call other people's young ladies and sons." ”

Zhu He was a little afraid to look at his daughter's sight.

The reason why a family child is a family child is that it starts from the mother's womb.

Zhu He wanted to speak and stopped.

The girl's eyes were resolute, and her tone was firm: "Dad, it doesn't matter, the second son said, when you arrive in the capital of Dali, there is a way to get out of the lowly status, and the border army of Dali is willing to recruit female warriors. ”

Zhu He looked at the girl in front of him, a little unfamiliar, but also a little relieved, nodded and said: "When the time comes, our father and daughter will join the army together, and we will still have a care." The second son is now gaining a firm foothold in the capital, and strive to let him help us choose a better border army, there will not be too many vicious battles, and the merits will not be too difficult to obtain, in short, before leaving the lowly status, we must not insult the family style of our Longquan Li family, even if we really stand on our own in the future, we must be grateful to the Li family......"

The girl laughed, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Zhu He's arm, pulled him back to the pillow post together, and teased: "I know, I know, Dad, when did you talk so much." ”

Zhu He rubbed his daughter's head, hesitated for a moment, but still decided to speak, "If you have a chance, say sorry to Chen Ping'an, a battle on the top of Qidun Mountain, no matter what the original intention is, if you do something wrong, if you do it wrong, then you have to apologize if you apologize, and you have to make up for it." ”

Zhu Lu was silent for a moment, perhaps because he was in a good mood tonight, and said with a bright smile: "Okay!"

Red Candle Town follows the ritual system of Da Li, with two temples of civil and military, Wenchang Pavilion and Wusheng Temple, which are not small in scale, respectively enshrine a statue of a civil official holding a jade wat in his hand, and a statue of a military general who wears armor and hangs a sword and steps on a tanuki.

The two temples in Red Candle Town were built in the south of the city, and the two sides were not far apart, about five or six hundred steps.

The night was dark, and the two idols shook almost simultaneously, dust falling from their bodies, and pale golden ripples rippled on the surface of the idols.

At the same time, the Jiang Shrine on both sides of the Embroidery River and the Yuye River, the two clay statues of the golden body are also similar to the scene.

In the north of Red Candle Town, a man with a bare chest and abdomen, carrying a wine jug in his hand, and three wine jugs hanging from his waist, although he was drunk and drunk, his steps staggered, but every time he stepped out, the distance was as long as five or six zhang, walking on the mountain road, as if walking on the ground, he soon came to the top stone flat of Qidun Mountain, burped, and stomped his feet.

Wei Bai, the land lord of Qidun Mountain, appeared not far away.

The man glanced at the handsome young man holding the green staff, and said with a smile: "It's gratifying, I finally broke the magic prison on my body, restored the true body of the land, not to mention, and hope to become a mountain god by myself, it seems that I have recently got a great opportunity." ”

Wei Yan's face was gloomy, "I have something to say." ”

The man wiped his mouth and asked bluntly, "How strong is that swordsman named Ah Liang?"

Wei Yan was silent.

The man said indifferently: "The stakes are very high, I am not in the mood and have no time to spend with you, if you don't speak, I will destroy your golden body, and you will have no chance of resurrection." ”

Wei Yan asked, "Can I know the reason before I answer?"

The man nodded and said: "That person killed two of our top dead soldiers in Dali, Li Hou of the seventh realm of martial arts, and Hu Yinglin of the eighth floor qi practitioner, all of whom are the first-character masters of the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion under the command of that mother, Your Majesty was very unhappy when he learned the news, and felt that this person broke the rules first, so Da Li wanted to ask him for an explanation." ”

Wei Yan was in a heavy mood.

The man's tone was solemn, and he sneered: "I advise you not to get involved, it's best to be able to pick yourself clean, if you can't pick it clean, maybe you will have to go to Chongjiang to take a bath again." But I'm sure that no one will be willing to fight for your soul this time, and they will still help you pick up the pieces from the bottom of the river, piece by piece together the golden body, and finally secretly bring you back to Qidun Mountain. Right, Beiyue Zhengshen of the Shenshui Dynasty?"

Wei Yan smiled miserably.
