Chapter 382: On the Chessboard
Chen Ping'an returned to the inn and found that not only Pei Qian was not sleeping, but he was playing with a talisman on his forehead, and the four of them gathered in a room, also waiting for the results of the Wenwu Temple.
Chen Ping'an was a little strange, their group walked from the middle of Tongye Continent to the Qingluan Kingdom in the southeast of Aquarius, and they had experienced so many battles of life and death, so it stands to reason that they should not be interested in the civil and military temples of the small county town, even if there is such a demon wind and demon rain in the small place, it is destined not to make big waves, Chen Ping'an quickly figured out the joint, it is very likely that tonight is the first time his student Cui Dongshan "shot", presumably they are more concerned about Wei Xian Sui's right.
After sitting down, Zhu Yong had already handed over the tea, and Chen Ping'an said frankly: "It is true that someone has done something to Wenwu Temple, Cui Dongshan will handle it safely and will not delay tomorrow's trip." β
Sui's right side was the most straightforward, and asked bluntly: "This Cui Dongshan, is it really your student?"
Chen Ping'an touched Pei Qian's head and asked her to go to sleep first, but Pei Qian said that he couldn't sleep, he was afraid of ghosts, and said that he didn't sleep well and liked to kick the quilt.
Because Chen Ping'an mentioned some rules and taboos to Pei Qian about the Fu matter, such as Fu is not only a talisman for trekking through mountains and rivers, but it can deter evil spirits and make some low-end landscape gods and ghosts feel awe, but at the same time, it is also a bright light, which is easy to attract the extra covetousness and hatred of some powerful ghosts who are not afraid of the wind in the sun.
Chen Ping'an didn't force Pei Qian to go to sleep next door immediately, and said to Sui You: "Although Cui Dongshan came up with a dead face at the beginning, but now he is indeed my student, along the way, you should have a general understanding of his temper, he is a very conceited person, as long as you don't provoke him, Cui Dongshan will not take the initiative to design you." Many rules and regulations for walking in the world, such as what I said to Pei Qian before, do not deceive the mountains and water, and when entering the temple to worship the Buddha, there is no need to wait for many people, these are actually what Cui Dongshan told me when I traveled with him. β
In fact, Chen Ping'an didn't say it too bluntly, probably in the eyes of the young man's skinned Dali National Teacher, the four people who walked out of the lotus flower blessed land were not worth his crooked thoughts.
It's just that this kind of big truth is too hurtful, and Chen Ping'an is embarrassed to say it.
Just like on the day of the reunion, Cui Dongshan first talked about Du Mao's immortal relics, and begged Chen Ping'an to generously give him the relics, Cui Dongshan may not value it much in his heart.
Cui Dongshan is willing to pester him Chen Ping'an, the real vision may not be on him, he has been in the extremely distant shadows and behind the curtain, it is the deceased Mr. Qi, the old Xiucai of Wensheng who has no body and body, and paints the ground as a prison and "joins the way" with the whole vast world, Ah Liang, who has soared to the outer heavens and wrestles with the second Taoist teacher, and Lu Shen, the Taoist master who is now sitting on the twelfth floor of the five cities of Baiyujing.
Da Li was able to build the sword tower that imitated Bai Yujing, and there were already the figures of the Yin and Yang family and the Mo family, plus Zhenwu Mountain and Fengxue Temple as the ancestral court of the soldiers in Aquarius, especially the former, which had long been deeply involved with Da Li, plus the southernmost prosperous old dragon city of merchants, among the most powerful schools of thought outside the three sects, in addition to the Legalists and Zongheng families, the Da Li Dynasty had actually won the favor of many forces outside of one continent.
This is where the confidence of the Dali Song clan to annex half of the Aquarius Continent lies.
Da Li Iron Cavalry, the vassal king Song Changjing, is a superficial fight against the country, and how to defend the country is a test of the skill and heritage of the Da Li Dynasty.
These things are what Chen Ping'an figured out by himself after seeing a period of history and a long river of time in the blessed land of lotus flowers, and there may be some gaps from the truth, but there should be no mistake in the general direction.
And the whole game of chess of the Dali Dynasty going south involves so many complex forces, and the person who specifically planned and helped the Dali Song clan to "get everything ready" was the "young man in white" who stayed in the Wumiao.
Looking back now, Chen Ping'an's travels in Aquarius, the Great Sui and the Huang Ting Kingdom in the north, the Caiyi, Guyu and Comb Water Kingdoms in the middle, and then the southernmost Old Dragon City, every step actually fell on the national teacher Cui ?? In the chessboard, he has never walked out of the chess game, but Cui ?? and Cui Dongshan, an old man and a young man who were separated from his soul and wore their own skins, did not pay attention to him Chen Ping'an.
Lu Baixiang smiled and asked, "This Mr. Cui, is he a cultivator who has cultivated to a high level and returned to the basics?"
Chen Ping'an didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "I used to be a Confucian protΓ©gΓ© of the Eight Classics, my hometown was in Aquarius, and later I went to Middle Earth Divine Continent to study, and I used to cultivate to the realm...... It's relatively high, but then he fell through the realm, and now he is the first realm of a qi practitioner, I can't see it, and I didn't ask him. β
Zhu Yong smiled and said: "I heard that the young master said that the great monk in the world has a tough physique, and he is not inferior to the pure martial arts of the three realms of refining the gods, I don't know how the mountain immortal with this young man's face is, how is his fist technique? β
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Ugly words ahead, if any of you are willing to test Cui Dongshan, I will definitely not stop it, but I will bear the consequences." β
Pei Qian whispered: "I don't dare to compete with him for the great disciple of the mountain, so I will call him senior brother in the future." β
Cui Dongshan pushed the door in, and said angrily: "Little Nizi, why are you scolding behind your back?!Who is your senior brother, you are the senior brother, speak well!"
Cui Dongshan inexplicably asked the teacher for his guilt, which frightened Pei Qian's face pale.
Chen Ping'an asked, "Where is the Wu Temple?"
Cui Dongshan poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and said with a smile: "It's settled, Wenwu Temple and the mastermind behind the scenes, I have seen it, both sides are good to discuss, students, I will reason with them, if I don't rush back to report to Mr. in a hurry, maybe the masters of the Wenwu and Wuwu temples will pull up the land at this time, take some jars of aged wine buried deep in the ground, and talk to me until dawn." β
Chen Ping'an was puzzled: "Who is making trouble?"
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "It is a local rich man who cherishes his life and wants to live for twenty or thirty more years, and it happens that there are children and grandchildren in the family who practice in an immortal sect in Qingluan Country. As well as the feng shui improvement of the Yin House, naturally there was a dispute with the local civil and military temples, and the cultivators learned to become immortals, and those young so-called heavenly pride in the small sect naturally had a bad temper, and they didn't do it endlessly, and the young monk almost wanted to take the golden body together. It is said that now the mountains and rivers in Qingluan and Qingshan Kingdom are obscene shrine gods, the entire southeast of Aquarius Continent has almost killed the imperial courts of various countries, but the golden body fragments are still in short supply, if there is a problem with the incense in the two temples of civil and military, the local monks will shoot, and the appearance is ugly, but it will not be pursued to death by the sages of the academy, if the young monks and the backers behind them operate properly, they will learn about this matter directly in the imperial study of Qingluan Kingdom, and the news will not reach the Guanhu Academy......"
Hearing this, Chen Ping'an felt heavy and took a sip of small refining wine.
Cui Dongshan's expression was as usual, as if he didn't notice the strangeness of his husband at all, and continued to say with a smile on his face: "The god of mountains and rivers?, each has its own fate, and also has its own good and evil retribution, but it is just a little ahead, and when the Dali Dynasty really annexes a continent in the future, it is a sure thing about this forbidden obscenity, and the method will only be more ruthless. According to the map, in the two years that Mr. was not in Aquarius, just south of Huang Tingguo, north of Caiyi Country, and above the dragon road underground, there were 62 large and small countries, and more than 4,000 obscene shrines that did not conform to the rules and violated the etiquette system. Guanhu Academy is naturally happy to see the ban on obscenity, even if it is no longer willing to deal with the Dali court, it still sent dozens of gentlemen and sages led by the deputy mountain chief to help Dali investigate the matter, and demarcate the boundary for the Dali court. β
After babbling about this, Cui Dongshan put down the teacup, looked around, and said with a smile: "What are you doing, go to bed early and get up early, you don't know how to maintain health, do you want to delay my husband's rest?"
Pei Qian was the first to get up and run away, and the four people in the picture scroll had different expressions, none of them spoke, and left one after another.
Cui Dongshan finally got up and said goodbye to Mr.
Chen Ping'an needed to bolt the door, and walked to the door of the house with Cui Dongshan, one outside the threshold, one inside the threshold, Chen Ping'an asked: "If you carry me behind your back and secretly mix in the debate of Buddhism and Taoism in Qingluan Kingdom, you'd better make it clear to me in advance, it's a big deal that I will bypass the capital and wait for you at the easternmost Xianjia ferry, so that you and I can turn against each other when you can save the time, and you Cui Dongshan will do another trick of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors." β
Cui Dongshan had an aggrieved expression on his crotch stained with yellow mud, "Mr. is open-minded, like a bright wind and a moon, when the teacher and student traveled to the Great Sui, the students were like a spring breeze all the time, how could they spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"
Cui Dongshan sighed: "I know, it must be that the four Hu never get on the road, Mr. has been with them for a long time, it is inevitable that he will get a little bit of market gas, if he doesn't worry, Ming'er students will ......."
Chen Ping'an closed the door and said angrily: "Get out." β
Cui Dongshan, who was dressed in white and fluttering like a fairy out of the dust, spun in a circle in the corridor and walked away, which should be regarded as rolling sideways.
When passing by Pei Qian's house next door, Cui Dongshan stopped for a while, and reminded kindly while turning around in place: "Pei Qian, you and I have the friendship of teachers, then I will tell you a good news, as long as you don't open the window, you will definitely not see the hanged ghost with his tongue hanging upside down, as long as he doesn't get his head out of the bed, he won't see the embroidered girl ghost lying on the side of the bed, wearing a bright red wedding dress, and marrying the ghost king of the mass grave, as long as he doesn't get up to drink water when he is not thirsty in the middle of the night, he will definitely not see the white water ghost with a big belly of water grass after drowning... ... Oh yes, some long-haired girls who died in vain like to curl up at the feet of little girls, don't be afraid, no matter how you look at it horizontally and vertically, it's just a big ball of hair......"
Pei Qian hid in the quilt, shivering, and covered his ears with his hands.
When he arrived at the four-person room in the picture scroll, Cui Dongshan, who was spinning non-stop, just laughed outside Lu Baixiang's door: "I heard my husband say that you are superb in chess, and I will learn how to play chess with you tomorrow." β
Lu Baixiang, who was playing chess games in the house, said with a smile: "If Mr. Cui is willing, why don't you talk about a game and then rest?"
Cui Dongshan has gradually faded away, "Forget it tonight, learning chess is such a thing, you have to pick the time and look at the mood." β
Outside the small inn.
There are two golden-bodied gods who are invisible to the naked eye, one on the left and one on the right, one literate and one martial, with a straight face like two door gods, guarding the inn.
