Chapter 304: Look down at the well, look up at the sky
Chen Ping'an didn't expect this trip to the rivers and lakes, he walked for half a year, not to find the way to view the Taoist temple, too far away, but Chen Ping'an with the instructions brought by the "long qi" behind him, in a majestic city around the circle, it took a full three months, and failed to find the so-called Taoist temple, in the capital of this Nanyuan country, Chen Ping'an asked all the peddlers and pawns, the warriors of the rivers and lakes, the leaders of the dart bureau, the officials of the yamen, etc., and never heard of any Taoist temple, Chen Ping'an flipped through various historical books, There are still no clues in the county chronicles and private notes, and the only gain is probably that Chen Ping'an can already speak Nanyuan official dialect fluently.
In this way, from the twilight autumn to the goose feather snow, to the spring rain, until the arrival of the beginning of summer, Chen Ping'an can be sure that the entrance to the Taoist Temple is in this capital, but it is never allowed to enter.
Even if he was as determined as Chen Ping'an, he began to be a little shaken and irritable.
During this period, Chen Ping'an had a lot of strange experiences, and saw a floating cyan dress at night, which danced like a beautiful woman, and her big sleeves were like flowing water.
I inadvertently saw through a blindfold and saw a section of the inner city wall supported by bones, and each piece of blue brick was engraved with Buddhist scriptures.
He also met monks who are not easy to see in Aquarius, Buddhism is popular in Nanyuan country, and there are many temples around the country, Chen Ping'an knows the attention of many monks' robes, as well as the differences between chanting monks, preaching monks, teaching monks and protecting the Dharma. Once left the capital, went out to breathe, is far away to follow a group of monks with the secret order of the imperial court, went to a fierce battlefield, Chen Ping'an witnessed more than 100 chanting monks sitting on the lotus futon, several chanting monks took off their boots, walked barefoot, bowed their heads and folded, between the feet walking, and when the lips opened and closed, there were snow-white lotus flowers, monks all have a string of prayer beads wrapped around the palm, if there is a strong ghost entanglement, will be repelled by the golden luster emitted by the prayer beads.
The rosary is golden, the monk is solemn, and the lotus flower is born step by step.
dragged the tens of thousands of resentful souls, and followed them into the "ghost gate" bordering yin and yang.
In the end, Chen Ping'an sat in the distance, learning from the monk to fold his hands and bow his head silently.
After returning to the capital, Chen Ping'an still couldn't find the Taoist Temple, just when Chen Ping'an gritted his teeth and was about to go to the palace secretly, on this day, the scorching sun was in the sky, Chen Ping'an came to a well, looked down, bottomless, dark and lightless.
Chen Ping'an looked at it for a while.
But he couldn't see the doorway, so he withdrew his gaze and continued to wander.
Looking back at the well, Fang was standing there, and it seemed a little cool.
ββββ
Since the battle with the Great Sui to worship Cai Jingshen, Cui Dongshan has won a cheap title of the ancestor of the Cai family, and he is very popular in the Mountain Cliff Academy.
Cui Dongshan can walk around the academy at will, always followed by a personal maid named thank you, today the two went to listen to a lesson of the old master Ge, halfway through listening, Cui Dongshan, who was lying on the windowsill outside, fell asleep, thank you stood aside, did not dare to disturb his son's spring and autumn dreams, causing the students in the house to endure laughter, very hard, the old master Ge couldn't wait to beat Cui Dongshan with a ruler, but when he thought of Cai Jingshen who moved out of the capital with his family, the old master couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart, and when he turned around, he must say to Mao Xiaodong, the deputy head of the mountain, that Cui Dongshan is not allowed to approach his class in the futureγ
After Cui Dongshan opened his eyes, it took a long time for him to come to his senses, swagger, and return to his residence with his maidservant thanks.
When Xie Xie closed the courtyard door, Cui Dongshan took off his boots and crossed the threshold, waved his big sleeves, and the mist rose, and finally a map of the mountains and rivers of Aquarius appeared.
Cui Dongshan wrapped one hand around his chest and pinched his chin with the other, first standing in the northernmost part of the "Aquarius Continent" of the Great Sui, his eyes moved southward, crossed the territory of Huangting Kingdom and the Great Sui, and stayed in the central Guanhu Academy, Caiyi Country and Combing Water Country, and finally he suddenly lay on the ground and looked left and right.
Thank you for sitting on the threshold, this picture of a continent occupies almost the entire room, and she will definitely be scolded and beaten when she enters.
Cui Dongshan kept lying over there, and asked casually: "You said that now in the territory of the Great Sui Kingdom, in the temples and rivers and lakes, on the mountains and under the mountains, is there anyone who scolds the emperor for begging for mercy without a fight, cutting the land and seeking peace?"
Xie replied honestly: "I don't know about the things outside, in the academy, the masters from the Great Sui are just frowning and sighing, but I have never heard of anyone speaking insults. β
Cui Dongshan got up and said with a smile: "Scholars are a little good, they don't scold the king, they only scold traitors, eunuchs, fox spirits, relatives, and scold the heavens and the earth...... Of course, there are no absolutes, there must be those who dare to scold the emperor, but there are very few who can scold well and hit the nail on the head. β
Thank you for getting used to getting along with Cui Dongshan, and said perfunctorily: "Childe Gaojian." β
She is really perfunctory and undisguised, not to mention the great Li national teacher who seems to be a "literary demon" and "old fox spirit", even Li Huai, who is not long-sighted, can see through it at a glance.
But Cui Dongshan just didn't mind this.
Cui Dongshan crossed his hands on his hips, opened his mouth, and sucked in suddenly, swallowing all the mist of the map.
Then Cui Dongshan raised his hands, opened his teeth and claws, and grinned like a tiger.
The corners of your mouth twitch when you see it.
Cui Dongshan patted his sleeves and was complacent, "It's really like a tiger, amazing, amazing." β
The maid thanked herself, only hated herself and didn't dare to roll her eyes.
She turned her head to look at the high wall of the courtyard, no matter how the undercurrent of the Great Sui Dynasty and the opposition surged, this Dongshan and the academy were another peaceful day.
A golden thread suddenly came from outside the hospital!
Silent, lightning-fast.
Although it is extremely subtle, it is not even as good as a green silk that the woman thanks, but when this slender gold wire appears out of thin air, the temperature of the whole yard increases in the late autumn when the climate turns cooler, making people feel like they are in the hot summer.
Thank you jaw-dropping, there was no time to react.
Her mind was blank, although the temperature in the courtyard was scorching, but Xie Xie was cold, stiff and turned his head, only to see that Cui Dongshan's eyebrows happened to be pierced by the golden silk thread, fell backwards, and fell to the ground with a bang.
It must be the assassination method of a land immortal!
In the distance, a vicissitudes of life voice sounded happily, "The demon is in chaos, it's not a pity to die!"
Farther away, Mao Xiaodong, the deputy mountain chief who was the master of this small world, shouted angrily: "Dare to commit murder in the academy?!"
Thank you for his dull eyes, still sitting on the threshold, looking at the young man in white who fell to the ground, just dead?
Someone patted his shoulder lightly, Xie suddenly woke up, his body tensed, and when he turned his head to look, he was about to slap it with his backhand.
But thank you hurriedly stopped, with a daytime hellish expression.
It turned out that Cui Dongshan was standing in front of her, bending down to look at her, he squinted, one hand was behind, and the other hand gently stretched out his fingers, a little on Xie Xie's forehead, and pushed her into the house, but the mystery is that Xie Xie's body has fallen back on the floor, but the ethereal soul has remained in place, and Cui Dongshan forcibly separated the body and soul with a brutal secret technique.
Cui Dongshan looked at Xie Xie's soul, and finally found something strange in one of her qi mansions, and said with a smile, "Hide and seek with me, be a little tenderer", only to see him like a chess player with two fingers, grabbed a dark green light spot from Xie Xie's soul, and pinched it between his fingers at will, and his body was pulled by the soul, and the delicate body that had lost his senses, like a fish on a chopping board, jumped hard.
Cui Dongshan slapped Xie Soul's "face", and scolded with a smile: "Things that are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, go back." β
The spirit returned to its place, thank you slowly woke up, her head was splitting, she struggled to sit up, supported the ground with one hand, covered her forehead with the other, and her face was full of tears.
Cui Dongshan strode into the threshold, bent down and picked up a high-ranking stand-in puppet in the house, pinched it into ashes with his fingers, turned his head and smiled: "Mao Xiaodong, can you bear this?!" Everyone is and pee in your house!"
During the pursuit, Mao Xiaodong's sneering voice came into the small courtyard and said, "Yes, you are that piece of!"
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "I walk around every day, so isn't our Mountain Cliff Academy a thatched toilet?"
Thank you without a word.
Cui Dongshan didn't bother to explain the danger and mystery to her, sat down cross-legged, frowned and pondered.
Why is Guanhu Academy so forbearing?
According to the original plan, he had to go through at least four hard battles, one was a secular dynasty near the central part of the country, one was torn with Guanhu Academy, one with the White Frost Dynasty in the South Aquarius, and one with the mountain forces in the south of the Aquarius.
Could it be that Aquarius has quietly poured into many forces outside the Great Li Mo Family?
It's a pity that now he is no longer a national teacher of Da Li, and many of the inside information on the top of the mountain can no longer be obtained, and even who the chess player is and what the chess style is, all of them are blind.
Cui Dongshan suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about taking root in Dali Longquan?"
Thank you shook his head, "I didn't think about it. β
The tall old man Mao Xiaodong strode into the courtyard, "It's a Yuanying monk who doesn't know the origin, and he ran away." β
Cui Dongshan didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "This time it's just a temptation, you better be more careful about the masters and students of the academy, there are always some self-righteous so-called good people in the world, and they think that the way of the world should be how it should be, it has to run according to their ideas, once the mountain cliff academy and the capital of the Great Sui are opposed, the two mountain alliances of the Gao family and the Song family, so it is not impossible to invalidate." β
Mao Xiaodong frowned and said, "Do you really want to close the mountain?"
As for today's assassination, there is not much difference between the original intention of some mountains in the Great Sui Dynasty and the handiwork of the enemies of "Cui Yun", because the possibility that Cui Dongshan mentioned is by no means a joke.
Cui Dongshan sneered: "What, do you feel faceless?"
Mao Xiaodong made up his mind, turned around and left.
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "Mao Xiaodong, if you say that you are a piece of, something happens, I can help the academy." β
Mao Xiaodong turned his head and said expressionlessly: "I'm a piece of." β
Cui Dongshan said stupidly: "If I say that I am two pieces of, can I take back my previous words, and then watch the fire from the other side comfortably?"
The old man tugged at the corners of his mouth, put down the word "no", and left quickly, Cui Dongshan sighed, fell backwards, slammed to the ground, stood up with his fingers together in front of him, muttered "Hurry like a law", and just rolled around in the house.
Thank you for gently wiping the sweat from your forehead.
Cui Dongshan stopped his childish behavior and lay on the floor like a corpse, but said even more childish words, "Sir, when are you coming back, the disciple has bullied others." β
Thank you helplessly.
Cui Dongshan raised his head and asked, "Do you think your son-in-law is telling a joke?"
Thank you hesitated, but nodded.
Cui Dongshan lay on his side, supported his head with one hand, and sneered: "With Chen Ping'an, no matter whether his cultivation is high or not, I just need to contribute, if you are right, you will not be scolded, if you are wrong, you will be scolded, anyway, you don't have to think about it." As for you, you can be beaten less by me, Yu Lu is such a heartless person, just watch the excitement. Lin Shouyi will turn to cultivation even more, Li Huai, if he is timid, there is even more reason to be timid, anyway, Chen Ping'an is protecting him. β
"All the worries are taken care of by my husband anyway. β
Cui Dongshan was lazy and no longer spoke.
Thank you for being a little curious, missing a little girl who likes to wear red clothes.
Cui Dongshan sighed, "Probably only a small treasure bottle, I will feel sorry for my husband." β
Oops, Cui Dongshan began to roll on the ground again, holding his heart in his hand, shouting, "When I think of this, I feel sorry for me."
ββββ
After the brief assassination turmoil, the Mountain Cliff Academy began to seal the mountain gate at the insistent request of the deputy mountain chief Mao Xiaodong, and no matter whether it was Mr. Master or the student miscellaneous servants, they were not allowed to go out. The titular mountain chief, the Shangshu of the Great Sui Rite Department, had quite objections to this, but His Majesty the Emperor supported this matter, and secretly sent a few more worshippers to hide near Dongshan, and also let the prince Gao Xuan officially enter the academy to study.
On this day, Gao Xuan accompanied his friend Yu Lu and fished by the lake together.
As time passed, Yu Lu finally met Gao Xuan frankly, one is his identity, the former crown prince of the Lu Dynasty, and the other is his martial arts cultivation, the Seven Realms.
Gao Xuan only let out two sounds after hearing it, one oh, one wow.
The eyes of the prince of the Great Sui were sparkling at that time, and he was proud of his vision for choosing friends.
Yu Lu didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he reciprocated with peach, Gao Xuan also said a lot of sad things about his own family, getting along with women, hoping that he would be perfect, not necessarily really liking her, interacting with men, being able to care about his shortcomings at all, treating each other with sincerity, most of them really regarded him as a friend.
Two peers, each with a green bamboo fishing rod, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait, Gao Xuan asked: "Didn't you say before that the treasure bottle would hold a martial arts conference, why did I enter the academy for so long and never see you to participate again?"
Yu Lu smiled and said: "The treasure bottle has been done three times, and after that, I will no longer gather the heroes, and it is difficult for others to say, anyway, I am a little disappointed." β
Gao Xuan pointed to the path on the shore and said with a smile: "Li Huai is over there." β
Yu Lu didn't turn his head to look.
You don't need to look at it at all, you know that Li Huai must be playing crazy with two friends, one is lively and cheerful, Some stubborn Han people's children, a generation of hairpins but cowardly and introverted powerful grandsons, the three somehow got together, inseparable every day, it is said that under the proposal of the Han people's children, the three little guys also cut off the chicken head to burn the yellow paper, and worshiped the brothers, the so-called chicken head, but the birds caught from the tree, the yellow paper is the pages that were quietly torn from the book books, after the matter was revealed, for this three people also gave Mr. Teach the ass to bloom.
The three of them used the branches in their hands as swords by the lake, you came and went, whistling by, Li Huai naturally saw Yu Lu fishing on the shore, but he hesitated, but still did not say hello to Yu Lu.
If it was Lin Shouyi, Li Huai might still go to chat a few words, for Lu and thank you, Li Huai is not particularly close.
In the team of the Great Sui who traveled to study back then, Li Huai, Li Baohua, and Lin Shouyi were classmates and fellow villagers, and their friendship was heavier than Yu Lu and thank you.
Lin Shouyi now goes to the study building less, in addition to attending classes every day, more or staying in a small courtyard with a single house to practice, this is a respected old master to help him and the academy to come, the old gentleman is a cultivator, willing to teach Lin Shouyi, not only for him to explain Lin Shouyi carried the "Langlang Book on the Cloud" many subtleties, but also to the small courtyard to bring a few of their own treasured fairy family secrets, casually Lin Shouyi read, as soon as the old master has time, he will come to the small courtyard, for Lin Shouyi a row of difficult puzzles.
One old and one young, although there is no name of master and apprentice, but there is the reality of master and apprentice.
In addition to learning the boring classics and scriptures, Lin Shouyi put more attention on pure practice.
Yishin asked.
ββββ
In the cold autumn, there is a little girl in the academy, who has replaced the thin red dress with a heavier one, and as for the cotton jacket, she can't use it for the time being.
She would often be alone, come to the tall tree on the top of the East Mountain, sit there in a daze, or eat some craving-free pastries, and when her homework was complicated, she would also sit on the branch with a book and recite it, so as not to be punished by her husband the next day.
So she now has the nickname of "Book Copying Girl" in Mountain Cliff Academy.
Today, Li Baohua dangled his feet on the tree, snapped his fingers, and carefully calculated how long he had been separated from his little uncle.
It's been so long, why hasn't Uncle Xiao come yet?
Li Baohua's eyes were a little gloomy.
Haha, since it's been so long, does it mean that the next time we meet, it's closer?
Li Baohua was happy again.
So the little girl in red stood up, jumped up on the branches, and tried her best to look high and far away.
Smack.
Li Baohua fell to the ground, disgraced and dusty.
Fortunately, he has a lot of experience and knows how to make his fall less painful, and in the end, Li Baohua was not injured, but he was sore and swollen, that's for sure.
The grinning little girl hurriedly looked around and saw that no one saw her embarrassment, so she staggered down the mountain.
Along the way, many people took the initiative to greet her, and Li Baohua agreed to go over one by one.
Returned to the schoolhouse, had nothing to do, and began to copy books again, Li Baohua glanced at the "belongings" on the desk, and smiled brightly, hey, the next time Uncle Xiao comes to the capital of Dasui, she can skip class for ten years, and after the master's accounting, she will move out of this book mountain to him.
The more Li Baohua thought about it, the more he felt that he was smart, he was skillful in copying books with a pen in one hand, stretched out his thumb with the other, his eyes lit up, and he said: "It is worthy of being the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he is domineering!"

On Luoluo Mountain in Longquan County, after receiving a letter, the boy in Tsing Yi, who rarely goes out, first went to the town to reply to a letter, full of confidence, and then went to Piyun Mountain for the first time, and went to the Beiyue Hall of Dali to find Wei Yan.
But after returning to the bamboo building, the girl in the pink skirt found that he was not very interested, although she didn't know what he was asking for, it shouldn't be going well.
The little boy in Tsing Yi didn't want to complain to her, just sighed alone on the cliffside, and soon was high-spirited, and went down the mountain to a small town, the county government and the kiln superintendent built the house, all of them went to the head of the shop, and when they came back, they were sick again, and after two days, they went to the newly built Longquan County Town outside the mountain in the north, and found the county guard Wu Kite.
After the little boy in Tsing Yi was busy, the girl in the pink skirt was confused.
Although he is not serious on weekdays, she knows that he is arrogant, that is called an eye above the top, even Wei Bai couldn't look at it in the past, don't look at Wei Dashan God, he will be very flattering, but after slapping the horse, he will spit when he turns his head, not to mention what Yuan County Order, Cao Duzao or Wu County Shou.
The girl in the pink skirt couldn't help but ask, he only said that you know how to fart, and then moved a bamboo chair and sat alone on the cliffside.
Finally one day, the boy in Tsing Yi began to walk with the wind again, swaggering.
The girl in the pink skirt was afraid that he would dislike himself and be annoying, so she endured it and didn't ask, the boy in Tsing Yi was in a good mood this time, and took the initiative to move two bamboo chairs under the eaves, and stilted her legs to swallow melon seeds, the girl in the pink skirt thought, I'm afraid it's not stupid, right?
The little boy in Tsing Yi was full of spirits and said with a smile: "What Brother Water God entrusted me with has been done! I have already sent a letter to the Huangting Kingdom Yujiang Water Temple!"
The girl in the pink skirt was stunned and said, "What does the god of water in the river want you to do?"
The little boy in Tsing Yi grinned and said: "Isn't this Huang Tingguo becoming a vassal state of Da Li, the water god brothers heard that I was very prosperous in Da Li, so they wanted me to help him match, in addition to ensuring that the water temple was not demolished, it is best to give him and Da Li a piece of peace and sound, this trivial matter, what is it, isn't this becoming?!"
It turned out that the god of water in Yujiang sent a letter from Huang Tingguo and asked him to do something, and the boy in Tsing Yi patted his chest and promised that he was convincing in the letter, and said a lot of big words, just let the water god brother rest assured, some small things, not worth mentioning, and wait for his good news.
The girl in the pink skirt slandered in her heart, a trivial matter? What is the appearance of you scratching your ears and cheeks all day long, and having no love?
Besides, how can you be embarrassed to say that you are so prosperous here in Longquan, and even practicing diligently is just to be beaten to death by two punches.
I guess every time I have the courage to go down the mountain, I am trembling.
The girl in the pink skirt asked softly, "Did Wei Shanshen help you solve it?"
The little boy in Tsing Yi's face changed slightly, his smile was a little far-fetched, and he pretended to be heroic and said: "Of course, what is the relationship between me and Wei Yan, I am so familiar, I call him brother and brother every day, this is just a little help, where does Wei Bai dare to say a word, the first time he climbed Phiyun Mountain to visit the Beiyue Palace, but Lao Wei has something to go out, you don't know, the auxiliary officials and gods of the Mountain Hall are polite to me, and set up a big table of banquets to entertain me, I said no, they just dragged me down the mountain, alas, I was worried about the personal ......"
The girl in the pink skirt didn't say anything.
She just didn't want to expose the cowhide, after all, he was so desperate to save face.
The boy in Tsing Yi spat and danced his eyebrows, but in the end, he lost his spirit, and simply stopped talking and silently swallowed melon seeds.
The second time they met, Wei Yan did nod and agreed, and as the god of Beiyue, he opened his mouth to the Dali court and asked for two talismans for his brother who was the god of water in the imperial river.
But he paid a little, in exchange.
A high-grade snake gallstone given to him by Chen Ping'an.
The boy in Tsing Yi was very painful, but he did not regret it.
He suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the south, "Stupid girl, when you go to Yujiang in the future, I will take you to the mansion of my brother who is the god of water, drink wine in a big bowl, and eat meat in a big piece, so that I can teach you how good my popularity over there is!
The girl in the pink skirt was speechless.
But she inadvertently caught a glimpse of his face, and her face was bright, so she couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Okay, remember not to eat big fish and meat, I'll just eat some seasonal mountain delicacies." β
The boy in Tsing Yi laughed, "What's so difficult about this, I have a word!"
The two began to fall silent.
He suddenly said, "If the master is in the mountains, I should be able to make a few fewer trips, right?"
The girl in the pink skirt hummed softly.

The big mountain in the west, Dong Shuijing's wonton stall, business is getting better and better, good men and women who come to the mountain temple to burn incense, all love to come here to eat a bowl, relieve fatigue and satiety, kill two birds with one stone, the business is bigger, the stall is too small, so Dong Shuijing simply built a shop, so that the bad wind and rain weather can also let the guests enter the door to eat while waiting for the rain to stop, and this young man is easy to talk, even if he doesn't pay for wontons, just use the shop as a pavilion to rest, not only do not drive people, but also let the two newly hired shop guys send a hot bowl of teaγ
The cost of the shop is large, but the price of each bowl of wontons has not risen, and the taste remains the same.
So much so that several officials and masters in Longquan County rushed to hear the news, such as Wu Yuan, the Taishou with the largest official hat, who ate a bowl of fragrant wontons in the shop and was full of praise.
In the twilight of this day, the shop was about to close, so the shop guy greeted the sparse and sparse few tables of customers, Dong Shuijing was rarely busy, tired after a day's work, exhausted, so he sat at the door of the shop, took a bowl of tea, and drank it slowly.
Dong Shuijing got up suddenly, quickly drank the rest of the tea, walked quickly, and walked down the mountain, among them was a familiar face, she should have followed the elders of the family to climb the mountain and burn incense.
Dong Shuijing greeted with a smile, looked at the age with the adults, called uncles and aunts, and then looked at the slightly taller girl and asked, "Shi Chunjia, when did you come back?"
Now the little girl no longer wears her horns and braids.
Shi Chunjia followed Li Baohua Dong Shuijing and them through a thrilling short journey, and after returning to the town, these children were divided into three groups and went their separate ways, each with their own choices.
Li Baohua, Li Huai and Lin Shouyi followed Chen Ping'an to study in Dasui. Dong Shuijing stayed in the town, went to school for a period of time, and soon left, leaving two ancestral houses in the town, leaving one to sell the other, not only bought half a street of high-ranking mansions in the county town, but also used the remaining silver money as the capital, and started trading alone. Only Shi Chunjia, who sold the ancestral shop in Qilong Lane at home, moved to the capital of Dasui with his family, I don't know if he returned to his hometown this time to worship his ancestors or what.
Shi Jiachun's father and mother, just heard of Dong Shuijing, but never seen it, seeing that his daughter was reluctant, he took the opportunity to say that he wanted to eat a few bowls of wontons, Dong Shuijing personally cooked, personally handed it to the table, and returned to the back of the counter after greeting a few words, Shi Jiachun scribbled to eat, then got up and ran to Dong Shuijing, and whispered to ask if there was any news about the treasure bottle, Dong Shuijing could only retell some of the things that Chen Ping'an had said, Shi Jiachun pricked up his ears, and he didn't want to miss a word.
Dong Shuijing looked around, saw that the wontons over there were almost finished, and asked seemingly casually, "When you come back this time, do you want to stay?"
Shi Jiachun nodded and said: "I heard that the new school here was founded by the Chen family of Longweixi, and my grandfather let me and my father and mother come back, anyway, the shop was sold, but the ancestral house is still there, and there is land to live." β
Dong Shuijing nodded.
In the end, they still received money with Shi Jiachun, but it was less copper coins per bowl than usual.
Shi Jiachun is a girl with a straightforward personality, and when she saw that Dong Shuijing dared to collect money, she glared fiercely at this classmate who lost money.
Dong Shuijing smiled slightly, unimpressed.
Seeing them leave, I know that there are many opportunities to meet in the future.
When doing business, acquaintances come to the door, and you must not kill the acquaintance, but you can't not collect money, don't make money or lose money, it's the best.
Otherwise, the more you do business, the less friends you have.
You lose money again and again, and that person still likes to come to the door from time to time to prove that the other party doesn't treat you as a friend.
Every time you earn more than usual, it becomes even more clear that you didn't consider that person a friend at all. If that's the case, it's cool.
If it's the former, you're going to worry about it.
Sure that there will be no more customers, the two shop guys have been tired of the rack, Dong Shuijing made two large bowls of wontons for each of them, watching them gobble up, Dong Shuijing looked at the night outside the store, and then saw a man with a long sword hanging horizontally behind him, crossing the threshold.
The Mo family hero named Xu Weak, who had just returned to the ferry port of Longquan County from Old Dragon City, found it directly, smiled at the tall young man and asked, "I have already told you the news about her, so have you decided now?"
Dong Shuijing nodded.
Now that she is already a fairy, she can't live like this anymore.
If you do that, you can live for decades or even hundreds more.
Regardless of whether or not I can end up with that girl, it's always good to be able to look at her a few more times.

A little devil surnamed Gu appeared in Shujian Lake.
Named Gu Can, he is the closed disciple of Liu Zhimao, the true monarch of Qingxia Island, and he can control a dragon whose strength is comparable to the peak of Jindan, in the previous bloody battle of internal strife with the same door, that dragon killed the corpses of Qingxia Island all over the place, and what is even more strange is that Liu Zhimao did not stop him from beginning to end, even if the eldest disciple was bitten to death by that beast, he still did not show up.
If it stops here, Gu Xiaogui's fierce reputation will not spread to Shujian Lake, which is the most extensive water area in Aquarius, because after that, on the blue waves of Shujian Lake, there is often a seemingly innocent child, wandering around, and at the beginning, there are qi practitioners who mistakenly think that the child is using water control and water avoidance techniques, so that he can swim leisurely on the lake without moving his feet.
Generally speaking, it is well water that does not interfere with river water.
But once, when a catastrophe was caused, more than 20 young qi practitioners who had a good relationship with their teachers and disciples took a huge building boat and traveled together in the lake, and they accidentally met the child.
As a result, when the two sides were about to collide together, the child with his arms around his chest suddenly rose, it turned out that he was stepping on a huge dragon under his feet, it pressed a claw, and cut off a building boat, first tried to escape from the sinking ship, and was sprayed by the beast's mouth, after a rush, only a skeleton remained, as for the group that became a soup chicken, it was a claw, disemboweled, and those who were unlucky were put into the big mouth to chew.
All weapons and supernatural powers, smashed on it, it doesn't hurt at all, it doesn't even bother to dodge, the most miserable person, is trying to capture the thief and capture the king first A "smart man", he is a sword cultivator with a golden identity, in the Shujian Lake where the heroes rise together, a little famous, with a natal flying sword to assassinate the child who stood on the top of the head of the Jiaolong's head.
Jiaolong, who had always had a playful mentality, immediately became extremely irritable, harnessed the lake around his body, set off a monstrous wave, and trapped the sword cultivator in a square blue water cage, and then I don't know what kind of secret method the beast used, he actually pumped out all the air, and let the sword cultivator's spiritual energy dry up and his body exploded to death.
There was a loud bang.
The cage, blood splattered.
It's like a huge flower.
The child sat cross-legged on top of the dragon's head and laughed.
Some of the Longmen Realm monks and Jindan Realm bosses who rushed to the scene, after seeing this scene at close range, they were frightened, the previous infighting on Qingxia Island, the distance was far away, and the beast did not show similar magical powers to the qi practitioner at that time, and so on, only more than a hundred zhang apart, I saw that the beast seemed to have enlightened and understood the natal supernatural power, if the ancient book records about the Jiaolong clan were not wrong, wouldn't it be as long as it went further, it was a veritable dragon of the earth immortals? If you can transform into a human form and rest in the ancient times when the dragon was prosperous, I am afraid that you are qualified to have a dragon palace in the middle of the great river.
This group of famous Shujian Lake Grand Monks was lucky at the beginning, and wanted to secretly save one or two disciples, but when an old monk of the Longmen Realm took the lead in doing this, he gently waved his claws to the beast, and the entire body of the old monk dozens of feet away inexplicably had a huge paw print, which was exploded in the air.
The battle between the monks of the Middle Five Realms, even if they are separated by one or two realms, the suspense of victory or defeat is definitely not large, but it is generally not such a life and death judgment.
Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, no one saved those sect disciples who fell into the water, and chose Mingzhe to protect his life and retreat quickly.
After that, someone smuggled into Qingxia Island, wanted to assassinate the demon Gu Can, but they were all killed one by one by Liu Zhimao, the true monarch of the Intercepted River, within half a year, five or six assassination methods one after another, were stopped by Qingxia Island, half a year later, headed by Liu Zhimao, Gu Can and the beast as the main force, killed those assassins on the island sect, without exception, only selected some young people and girls with acceptable cultivation qualifications, and the rest of the people, etc., all executed, scraped the ground, collected all the treasures and magic weapons, and for a time Qingxia Island vaguely became the lord of the archipelago of Shujian Lake, and those who followed it prospered, and those who went against it diedγ
Now Gu Can and his mother live in one of the most magnificent mansions on Qingxia Island, several times the master and apprentice have joined forces to destroy the mountain of the sect, after the end of the war, Gu Can will let the senior sister who ventilated for him back then, help him choose some beautiful embryos with brilliant appearances, they are not very old, as a candidate for the future "cardigan", and also specially asked someone to teach him calligraphy and painting with piano, chess, and calligraphy.
Today, Gu Can rarely didn't go out to play, accompanied his mother to the back hall, knelt on the futon respectfully, and kowtowed to a tablet.
Over the years, the woman has been pampered, and her face and posture have become more and more plump and moving.
When the woman got up, she closed her eyes, folded her hands, and murmured softly, as if she was saying goodbye to her dead husband.
Gu Can stood in the solemn and silent lobby, looking up at the incense curling in front of him, this child, whose hands had been stained with countless blood, was speechless.
The two of them crossed the threshold together, and Gu Can suddenly called out to her mother.
The woman holding Gu Can's little hand looked down and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Can squeezed out a smile, shook his head, and said that it was okay.

In the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, there was a hungry and thin little girl, with tattered clothes and indifferent eyes, and cautiously walked to a powerful Qinghefang, and came to the back door of a luxury mansion with familiarity, the scorching sun was scorching, and the thin and dark little girl walked sweating profusely, but her expression was still cold, squatting in the green shade of a big tree, she looked up, looked at the sun in the sky, the light, and saw her eyes cry.
She silently withdrew her gaze and wiped away her tears.
Soon the back door of the house was secretly opened, and through the narrow door, a peer about the same age as the thin girl slipped out, a rich little daughter carved in pink and jade, dressed beautifully, she was holding a small wooden box with some difficulty, sweating profusely, trotting all the way to the thin girl, and said with a bright smile: "A gift for you." β
In the middle of summer, some water stains seeped out of the small wooden box.
The thin girl frowned and took the wooden box, held it in her arms, and pushed the lid open with one hand.
The beautiful little girl on the other side laughed happily, "Do you remember, we built this snowman together last winter, and I asked the people in the house to put it in the ice cellar, and I deliberately took it out and gave it to you today, do you like it?"
The thin little girl lowered her head and stared at the little snowman, unable to see her expression clearly.
The beautiful girl who walked out of the princely and noble house was still over there asking for credit, innocently asking if she liked it.
The thin little girl slowly raised her head and asked, "Where's the food?"
The beautiful girl sighed and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot." β
She cried with a sad face and kept apologizing, "I'm going to go to the temple with my father and mother to burn incense and pray for blessings in a while, I can't bring you anything to eat today, I'm sorry......"
The thin little girl tugged at the corners of her mouth, and looked down at the little snowman in the small wooden box again.
Smack.
The wooden box "accidentally" fell to the ground.
The pretty little girl was crying and quickly squatted down.
The thin little girl squatted down as well, but she reached out and picked up a stone at the base of the wall, and she looked at the little snowman who had broken in half in the wooden box, and then she raised her hand high and threw it at the girl in a splendid dress.
A fresh breeze blows.
When the beautiful little girl raised her head, squeezed out a smiling face, and wanted to say to her good friend that it was okay, she was surprised to find that there was an extra stranger in front of her, wearing a beautiful snow-white robe, carrying a sword, and a small vermilion gourd hanging from her waist.
found his best friend and was held by the man.
The guy with the sword on his back smiled and pointed to her in the direction of the back door and said, "You go home first, you see, someone is waiting for you." β
Sure enough, the housekeeper Grandpa Zhao had already found it, and the beautiful little girl was holding a small wooden box, a little hesitant, not knowing whether to give it to her playmate, or take it home and continue to hide it in the ice cellar.
Fortunately, the stranger made a decision for her again, "Take it back, you can't keep it outside, it's a pity, you can wait until it snows this winter, and then build this little snowman into a big snowman." β
The little girl nodded vigorously, hugged the small wooden box, and said goodbye to the good friend who had known her for nearly two years.
The thin little girl was silent.
When the door closes.
Chen Ping'an let go of the little girl's hand, for this little madman, he felt incredible, the two children obviously had a good relationship, just because the other party didn't bring food once, they wanted to kill someone?
Chen Ping'an looked down and asked, "Who are you?"
The little girl looked up and asked, "What do you care about me?"
