(Final chapter of this volume.) ）

At the time of the winter solstice, although the days are short and the figures are long, it is actually the beginning of the recovery of the yang energy of heaven and earth.

The emperors and monarchs of the Aquarius continent will worship the mountains on this day, and even if they can't come in person, they will let the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Rites go to the mountain temple to burn incense.

Similar to Longquan County, Meihua Country has the same custom of the New Year, although it is a poor family, according to the local customs, it is also necessary to prepare dumplings, mutton soup or glutinous rice.

Chen Ping'an rode on the glutinous rice dumplings bought in the market and returned from Jingzhou, the southernmost part of the Meihua Kingdom.

At a border pass, Chen Ping'an stopped his horse, let Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi pass first, Chen Ping'an drove his horse to a hill alone, after reaching the top, there happened to be an old monk slowly walking to the top of the slope, Chen Ping'an turned over and dismounted, the old monk smiled in a slightly rusty Aquarius Yayan: "You may not know me, but I am very familiar with you." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "The hard-working seniors escorted all the way. ”

The old monk ignored the sarcasm in his words, and no one who was watched all the way would feel comfortable.

The old monk smiled: "I used to be a cultivator of the Tongye Sect, so this journey of forbearance is really hard. ”

Chen Ping'an asked, "Was it?"

The old monk still suppressed his breath on the realm of Jindan Earth Immortal, and above his skin, the brilliance flowed, like the sun and the moon flowing in the small world of his body, he did not answer this question, and looked this young man up and down, as if he wanted to see some clues, what could he rely on to become the Great Sword Immortal...... Friends, fellow disciples, and brothers? It's hard to say for the time being, but it's all possible. It's just that there is no blessing in the world that is consumed in vain, especially on the mountain, if you accidentally lose everything.

The old monk stood on the top of the hill and looked around, the mountains and rivers of the plum glaze country were really boring and boring, and the aura was thin, and it was far inferior to Shujian Lake.

There are some secrets, I didn't tell this young man, he is now traveling here with the Yin God out of the body, and the Yang God carries the secret paulownia leaf card to monitor him, so as to cover his true whereabouts and avoid this meeting from being detected by Shujian Lake. The reason why he is willing to take such a big risk is naturally due to his thoughtful consideration and calculation. They were a group of outsiders who were regarded as guests of the palace willow island seat by Liu Laocheng, who was a wild cultivator of the Yupu Realm, and they could be carefully selected and thrown into Shujian Lake, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, and he was naturally no exception.

It's just that on the avenue, it depends on the price to sell people's lives.

He felt that the price was lower.

Even if he has been surveyed by the Great Yin and Yang Family as hopeless to ascend to the Five Realms, he is still an old Yuan Infant who is good at fighting, and he still has two hundred years to live, if he is willing to spend a lot of money to hang his life, it is possible to live for another three hundred years.

After receiving this secret mission, he thought about it and always felt that it was a chain buckle that borrowed a knife to kill people, and the leader of the upper five realms was used as a knife for others, and he was even more so. It's a pity that Aquarius is not its own territory, there is no foundation, and there is no one to use, otherwise, find a knife again, a little faster, a little worse brain, I can't say that I am rich and dangerous, I can really get a splash of wealth, of course, it may also be a grasshopper on a line, borrowed and borrowed a few knives, everyone is finished together, as for the real person behind the scenes who can't even guess his identity, he will be happy.

The old monk asked, "I have a mutually beneficial deal, will you do it?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

The old monk smiled: "But I want to get a promise from you first, at least for a hundred years, you Chen Ping'an will not be able to tell anyone about the transaction between us." ”

Chen Ping'an asked: "Even if I promise to come down, the question is do you dare to believe it?"

The old monk nodded and said, "I don't believe it completely, but I plan to gamble, and my standing here and appearing in front of you is already a proof." Practicing on the mountain, as long as the Tao is higher than me, I can't see through the depths, but who I have been with for so long, and then look at the temperament, it's not too difficult. I've met a lot of people like you, most of whom I met when I was young, and it turned out that most of you died early and died halfway, so I just said that this was a hundred-year covenant. ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "It's almost the New Year, please trouble the seniors to say a few auspicious words." ”

The Yuanying Grand Monk smiled and said, "If I say some polite greetings to you, won't you be suspicious?

Chen Ping'an felt that this was not wrong.

After about a stick of incense, Chen Ping'an drove the horse down the hillside, his already not good-looking face became like gold paper, sitting on the back of the horse, crumbling, as if he had experienced a catastrophe of life and death, and his already weak physique was almost exhausted.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi, who were so frightened that they stopped waiting after passing the customs, were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Before, almost the entire pass inside and outside saw the sword light like a rainbow on the side where Chen Ping'an disappeared.

Chen Ping'an shook his hand, "It's okay, it's settled, let's continue to hurry, this trip back, there will be no more things on the road, it's still the old rule, you don't return to Shujian Lake with me at that time." ”

On the other side of the hill, the Yuanying Monk had already removed the magic power, and it was actually a middle-aged woman with a mediocre appearance, and a grain of blood slowly oozed from the center of her eyebrows, which she gently wiped away with her fingers, but that trace fell in the eyes of any Middle Five Realm monks, and if she looked at it slightly, it was an extremely piercing existence.

After the two parties made up their minds to do business, they scrutinized the details, and after several temptations, the young man coped with it decently.

She looked at the sky, saluted, pious and frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Furui is vulgar, she can only offend the gentleman, she doesn't dare to offend the villain, it's rude." ”

After a few moments, the heavens and the earth fell silent.

The woman smiled dumbly, probably thinking too much about herself.

Now that Aquarius is in turmoil, there is too much need for the accompanying saint to keep an eye on people and things, there are too many, Xie Shi, the Heavenly Monarch of Beiju Luzhou, Song Changjing, the king of the Dali Domain, the emperor of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, etc., how can it not be her turn and that Chen Ping'an, even if Liu Zhimao, who was detained at the bottom of the water prison, said it himself, and now Chen Ping'an has that piece of "I am good at raising Haoran Qi" The saint jade card, but about the saint who sat in the canopy of a continent, she knew a little bit of the inside story, as long as there was no too surprising fight in the world under her feet, she would not divert her gaze and glance at it, as for the old sect master of Taiping Mountain who personally chased and killed the old ape with the sword on his back, the momentum was too great, and it would definitely be noticed by the saint of Tongyezhou for the first time.

But be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Some of the etiquette that should be there is more than less is better than less, and some is better than nothing.

After leaving the pass of Meibei Country, when he was about to enter the boundary of Shujian Lake, Chen Ping'an was near a rural village, turned his head to look at the two guys behind him who were not very interested, and said with a hoarse smile: "I make you worried, I think about more things along the way." ”

Ma Duyi covered his heart, "Mr. Chen, you have finally returned to your soul, you are either in a daze or frowning along the way, you haven't drunk for a long time, and the two of us are about to die of scare." ”

Zeng Ye nodded vigorously.

Chen Ping'an comforted softly: "I can't figure it out for a while, I'm sorry." ”

Ma Duyi smiled and asked, "Have you figured it out now?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "I still haven't figured out the reason, but I retreated to the next best thing and roughly figured out how to deal with it." ”

Ma Duyi said worriedly: "Is it really okay?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Ma Duyi hesitated, "Then Mr. Chen, you have a drink and show us, otherwise we won't be at ease." ”

Zeng Ye looked embarrassed.

Of course, Chen Ping'an didn't really take a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "You guys just stop here, remember not to disturb the people nearby, practice well, urge each other, and don't slack off." I will try to meet you at the beginning of spring next year at the latest, perhaps sooner. At that time, we will go to the south of Shujian Lake, where there is a miasma, many mountains and spirits, and it is said that there are evil cultivators and people in the Demon Dao, which will be much more dangerous than Shihao and Meixuguo, you two don't drag your feet too much. ”

Ma Duyi snorted coldly.

Zeng Ye hurriedly promised to practice diligently.

Chen Ping'an rode away alone.

However, before leaving, he handed over the golden demon rope and a few talismans to Ma Duyi, just in case of accidents, and then remember to hide the demon rope, not to appear in the world easily, once it was seen by Lu Ye Xiu, it would be a sure disaster from the sky.

When it comes to life and death, Ma Duyi didn't dare to slack off at all, and he didn't make any jokes, just to reassure Mr. Chen, they would never be so careless.

Chen Ping'an slept in a wilderness on this day, and the evil atmosphere was quite strong, and he was almost sure that there were powerful ghosts hiding in it, but there was nothing to do all night, which made Chen Ping'an a little strange, and now it is inconvenient to show his true cultivation, and the other party is very hidden, most of them are involved in the luck of the mountain roots of a place, so he has to give up.

Ride away slowly.

Sorrowful.

According to the implicit statement of the old monk Li Furui, the main envoy who sent her out of Gongliu Island was a monk of the Upper Five Realms of the Tongye Sect, who once managed the rules and precepts of the ancestral master hall, and his status was respected, even when Du Mao was alive, he was also quite a powerful existence, and the current sect master of the Tongye Sect had to shout his uncle.

This is not the thing that worries Chen Ping'an the most.

The really terrifying thing is that this great monk of the Tongye Sect is now the worship of the Yugui Sect, and it is the Yugui Sect that is about to choose the Shujian Lake in Aquarius as the foundation of the next sect!

Yu Guizong, the old man surnamed Xun who appeared in the dust pharmacy in the Old Dragon City, the future place of cultivation and Taoism on the right side of Sui, and Jiang Shangzhen who appeared in the Qinghu Palace earlier.

Among them, Jiang Shangzhen is more likely to be the first sect master in the history of the Yugui Sect, but there is no conclusive statement in the Yugui Sect's Ancestor Hall, so there are still variables.

Because Jiang Shangzhen has never rushed to Aquarius for a long time, it is also one of the evidences.

As for the chief worship of the next sect, it is naturally Liu Laocheng of Miyanagi Island.

That Yuanying monk Li Furui said so much.

Since Jiang Shangzhen, who likes to join in the fun, did not show up, but the ambitious ancestor of the Yuan Tongye Sect became the pioneer of the Yugui Sect, maybe this great monk had some natural ideas to break his wrist with Jiang Shangzhen and compete for the position of the sect master.

No wonder Li Furui will track all the way, waiting for the opportunity.

It's no wonder that Su Gaoshan will not fake his colors, you must know that even Tan Yuanyi knows part of the Green Wave Pavilion files, knows that he is inextricably linked with Da Li, and Su Gaoshan, who does not put Tan Yuanyi in his eyes at all, will only know more, when he reaches a high position like Su Gaoshan, although he can't arbitrarily call the Green Wave Pavilion spies, but it is not difficult to consult the archives and even learn more inside stories than Tan Yuanyi.

Fortunately, Li Furui is cautious enough and awe-inspiring enough to be in awe of the unpredictable impermanence.

only to play a bitter trick with his own losses.

Of course, it is to meet again from somewhere on the border of the pass beyond the hillside.

Being able to poke a little scar at the center of an old Yuanying's eyebrows, this news spread, and tens of thousands of wild cultivators on more than 1,000 islands in Shujian Lake outside Gongliu Island didn't believe it.

But as long as Liu Laocheng does not have the idea of harming himself, and does not take the initiative to reveal his true details, after all, this means that Liu Laocheng will harm others and himself, and he will completely tear his face with a future first-class worship of the lower sect of the Yugui Sect, as long as Liu Laocheng does not say anything, or is vague, and says something that is not painful, then on the side of the ancestor of the original Tongye Sect, most of them will be suspicious, and this is enough.

However, on the hillside, Chen Ping'an still reminded Liu Laocheng of the summons with Liu Zhimao's flying sword, and did not say a word about it, and did not use it as a reassuring pill that did not cost half a copper coin but had an immediate, and showed favor to Li Furui because he wanted Li Furui to form an alliance.

There are some things that can't be done.

Otherwise, Chen Ping'an would really have to reflect on it and weigh his conscience carefully, whether he has become a complete scholar and a thorough scholar.

Chen Ping'an, Li Furui.

Unexpectedly, after the two sides left the pass one after another, on the head of the border city, there were faint ripples, uncertain and uncertain, and finally an acquaintance who both sides actually knew appeared.

If Li Furui knew about this, it was estimated that a Dao heart would be frightened.

Because this uninvited guest is the first person to cultivate in Aquarius Continent who is more expected to be among the immortals, Liu Laocheng, after getting the piece of glass gold body that Daojun Qi Zhen wants to grab.

When he left Shujian Lake this time, he should have gone to Su Gaoshan to discuss important matters, but of course he did, but how to return to Gongliu Island and when to return, no one can control him Liu Laocheng.

Even the monk of the Upper Five Realms who switched from Tongye Sect to Yugui Sect and stole a heavy treasure from the Ancestral Master Hall did not dare to restrain Liu Laocheng too much, let alone test it casually three times or twice.

The wild cultivation of the Upper Five Realms, even in Tongye Continent, which is far wider than the Aquarius Continent, is an extremely difficult existence.

No matter why Liu Laocheng appeared over there at that time, Liu Laocheng waved his sleeves and put away the palm view of mountains and rivers that was almost immortal realm cultivation, a mountain and wild cultivator, there must be one or several particularly brilliant tricks, huge but extremely hidden killing moves or magic weapons, turtle shells generally shelter the natal objects of the yin god and yang god, escape, snooping, the more the merrier, the more skills are not pressing, the more complex and refined the ability, the longer the wild cultivation without backing the mountain.

Li Furui rose from the ground, turned into a rainbow and flew away, and the sky above the pass shook like winter thunder, rumbling.

After Liu Laocheng appeared, he smiled and said, "Good boy, let's talk a little about the morality of the rivers and lakes, you are smart." Otherwise...... Hehe. ”

Liu Laocheng disappeared in a flash.

This kind of fate hangs by a thread, the kind of ghost gate hidden on Yangguan Road, even if Chen Ping'an walks through it in person, he still doesn't know it.

Things in the world are often like this, but many times, it will not be a matter of life and death, but will become a lighter thing, such as inexplicable opportunities, loss of power without warning, disputes for no reason, sudden fortune, one by one, one by one, all teach people to be confused, or ecstatic, or bitter.

It seems that there is a fixed number, but in fact, it is not in the destiny but in the people.

People are doing it, the sky is watching, even if the sky is not watching, others are also watching.

As for what should be done, everyone has their own fate, which is nothing more than the different trade-offs of their respective environments, treating people with sincerity, mercenary, and getting by, all of which can become the foundation of life, but the only ridiculous thing is that it is such a simple truth, good people and bad people, many people don't know, and it is still useless to know it, and comfort yourself that the world is like this, and the truth is useless. After all, everyone can go to every moment, there is a potential truth support beyond its words, everyone's most fundamental ideas and context, just like those most critical beams and columns, change the word, it is not easy to say that it is more difficult, such as repairing the attic of the house, adding bricks and tiles, but it costs money, if the beams and columns are shaking, the house must be unstable, or just want to replace the tiles, repair the window paper, if you try to replace the beams and columns? The older you are and the more experienced you are, the more accustomed you are to living in your existing house, and the more difficult it is to change. Once the tribulation is coming and you are in trouble, at that time, it is better to think about the way of the world and everyone is like this, and then borrow a few words from the book to try to have a temporary peace of mind, otherwise it is a reasonable idea to take a look at the more pitiful things of others.

Chen Ping'an approached Shujian Lake, but suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped towards Meihua Kingdom.

But instead of getting together with Zeng Ye Ma Duyi, he gave up his mount and stocked it in the mountains and forests, as for whether they can meet in the future, it depends on fate.

Chen Ping'an went directly from a barren path where only woodcutters walked, crossed the mountain border on foot, and found a person.

A young monk who was able to subdue the heart ape.

At the foot of the cliff, Chen Ping'an stopped, folded his hands, and saluted to the high grotto.

The young monk got up from the futon, didn't seem surprised, returned the salute, and then stretched out a palm, signaling Chen Ping'an to just climb up the cliff.

Chen Ping'an traveled all the way, even if he didn't perceive that someone was following, he never walked too fast, and pretended that his breathing was not as smooth as usual, as for the inner weather, he had Li Furui's unique secret method to help cover it, but he still needed to be careful everywhere, otherwise he would harm others and himself, and he would not only affect Li Furui, but also put himself in danger.

Like mountain forests, apes climb rocks.

The young monk stood on the side of the narrow grotto, and after Chen Ping'an had settled down, he sat down cross-legged inside, but gave the futon to the guest.

Chen Ping'an hesitated, but still sat on the futon.

As for the heart ape, it kept its eyes closed, as if it was sleeping.

The young monk spoke: "I am from Tongye Continent, you Aquarius Yayan, I am not familiar with it, about the Buddha's principles, I only know the skin, and there are two text barriers, one is the language between you and me, the other is the distance between the meaning of the Dharma and the words of the Buddhist scriptures, I dare not speak falsely." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled in Tongyezhou's Yayan: "Fortunately, I have traveled to Tongyezhou, and I can speak Yayan over there, and I can barely break a small barrier." ”

The young withered monk smiled slightly, "Does the donor know that Tongyezhou has a saying that 'there is a different bull's head faction'?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I don't know." I am extremely shallow about the Dharma, and I have not had the opportunity to touch the Buddhist scriptures after several previous trips. ”

The young monk raised a single palm in front of him, "It's okay if you don't know, go to the heart fence less." ”

Chen Ping'an thought about it together, but gently pressed it down.

After all, the matter of surrendering the heart ape is an opportunity for the monks in front of him, and outsiders can't easily mention it, so they want to ask some doubts in their hearts.

The young monk already smiled and said, "The donor has a relationship with the Dharma, and you and I also have a relationship, the former is visible to the naked eye, and the latter is vaguely visible." Presumably, when the donor traveled to the north of Tongye Continent, he once walked through a mountain peak and saw a little elf who seemed to have lost his mind, and kept asking 'How to become a Buddha with such a heart', is it right?"

Chen Ping'an was dumbfounded.

The young monk smiled slightly, "Yes." ”

The young monk looked out of the grotto, as if he had seen thousands of miles away from a continent, and said slowly: "That's right, I can't give an answer." ”

The young monk continued: "On the way to learn the scriptures, I was both a master and a disciple, and I didn't know it, and I was deeply obsessed with it. The road to learning from the scriptures was actually broken again at that time, and it was broken again and again, without looking back. I still don't know, traveling from continent to continent, after a lot of hardships, leaving this world, and finally seeing the Pure Land of Buddhism, but I turned my head back, and my heart was empty. ”

The young monk sighed and looked at Chen Ping'an, "Donor, ask." ”

Chen Ping'an slowly said some questions in his heart, including the difficulties in the Buddhist scriptures and the confusion of life.

The young monk used the Dharma to solve his doubts.

Chen Ping'an only read a few Buddhist canons recommended by Cui Dongshan, and he had no concept of the rather complex factional inheritance of Buddhism, and he didn't particularly care about these.

Purely with the mind of asking reverently, listen to the answer of this traveling monk from Tongye Island.

There are several places where Chen Ping'an is very impressed, including the study of cause and understanding.

One question and one answer, in addition to the answer, the young monk has extension, some of the sayings, there are obviously traces of Confucianism, Taoism and the hundred schools of thought, the monk has no scruples about this.

When Chen Ping'an had no more problems, the young monk smiled and said, "Don't be afraid that if you ask the Dharma, you will run away from Zen, which is a misunderstanding of the world." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded.

He really respected the Dharma, but he didn't really want to become a monk.

After that, I talked with the young monk about the experience of the Xinxiang Temple in the lotus flower blessed land, especially the small talk with the old monk, and told the young monk one by one.

The monk listened carefully, and occasionally understood, so he sang softly.

Finally, Chen Ping'an stood up from the futon, took a step back, and bowed his head to the young monk again, "I have solved my doubts." ”

The young monk then got up, bowed his head and sang, and muttered, "If you go, if you come, Shenxiu will take a seat." ”

Chen Ping'an exited the grotto and returned to the bottom of the cliff.

The young monk looked at the futon, folded his hands again, and repeated the second half of the sentence, "Shenxiu is seated." ”

Chen Ping'an didn't understand the deep meaning.

I only remember that there is indeed a high mountain on the side of my hometown, and the seal is engraved with the four big characters of "Tiankai Shenxiu", at the earliest, I trekked through mountains and rivers with people, and walked over there, but at that time, Chen Ping'an's eyesight was not good, and the clouds and mist were shrouded, so I couldn't see it clearly. Later, it was Wei Yan who took him to travel to the jurisdiction of Beiyue before he was able to see it. At that time, I felt that the reason why Master Ruan chose that mountain as the main mountain for the founding of the sect was because Miss Ruan's name had the word "show" in it.

Chen Ping'an returned to the border of Meihua Kingdom, and found the horse in the mountains and forests, and after seeing Chen Ping'an, it galloped towards him, very intimate.

Chen Ping'an patted the horse's back lightly and joked: "I found out that we both lost weight." But you're okay, knocking forward the skinny bones, as if with a copper sound. I'm skinny, I don't have a few pounds of meat, and I will fall when the wind blows. ”

Turn over and go straight to Shujian Lake.

The sword at the waist is wrong, and the sword is hung to raise the sword.

It's just that Chen Ping'an is now estimated that this was the way he looked at the beginning, and there would be no sinister knocking from the rivers and lakes in Ziyang Mansion that night.

It's no wonder that the old swordsmen in the rivers and lakes who stayed over there were not all the green shirts, they were all sword immortals.

Chen Ping'an entered Shujian Lake from Lvtong City again, and still fostered the horses in the inn in Lvtong City, and also went to the alley, where he bought four cheap and high-quality meat buns in the bun shop, but it seems that the current shop, compared with half a year ago, the business is much colder, and the young shopkeeper looks depressed, often sighing. Chen Ping'an nibbled on buns along the way, found the ferry boat at the ferry, cleaned it, and rushed back to Qingxia Island.

At the end of last year, there were three goose feather snowfalls in a row, and the aura of Shujian Lake increased significantly, and even the cultivators who were very indifferent to the New Year seemed to have a good year. I never thought that this year was not over yet, it was already such a field, including Qingxia Island, more than 1,000 islands needed to be handed over half of the family funds, and the tribute was given to the Dali Iron Cavalry under Su Gaoshan, and some islands related to the Zhu Ying Dynasty and the vassal Shihao Kingdom and Meiwei Kingdom, it was really miserable, not to mention the great loss of vitality, and it was not pleasing to both sides.

The most terrifying place is still Tan Yuanyi of Grains Island, including Sulu Shimada Hujun and Yu Hui, who have earth immortal monks among all the island ancestors, such as the Huangli Island earth immortal couple, and form an alliance again, this time there is no dispute, and they cooperate very sincerely, and take the initiative to take the four cities including Shujian Lakeside Pond and Green Tong as the "pass" , stretch out an encirclement line, any monk who dares to abscond with the money and wealth of the island without permission, will be arrested, handed over to the people in charge of the Dali Iron Cavalry stationed here, there are both iron cavalry generals, a civil official, and two monks with the army, four people are stationed in the city, a heaven and earth net, tens of thousands of mountains and wild repairs are besieged in it, can not get out, can only cut the flesh on their own bodies, boxes of fairy money continue to be transported to Chishui City, during which there are many changes and conflicts, after the death of nearly a hundred mountain and wild cultivators, among them there are two Jindan monks, Shujian Lake finally fell silent, obediently with his tail between his legs。

It is said that this is the first round.

In the next few big islands, there will also be permission from the big Li Tieqi, the big fish will eat the small fish and the shrimp together, and the vassal islands will be vigorously explored, and finally the more than 1,000 islands in Shujian Lake will most likely go to the ancestral hall of 30% of the size within a year, cut off the incense, and completely become a vassal of the big island. In this inevitably bloody process, all the monks who dare to resist, only one end is waiting for them, it is rumored that Su Gaoshan will set up a new position without rank, the horse monk, which means to those regular Dali army monks, as their horse leader, once Su Gaoshan tears through the plum glaze defense line, plus Cao Yuan's army, the two iron cavalry are divided into five places, then they will work together to form a huge encirclement of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, this group of horse monks, the only luck, is that they can fight with Zhu Ying's border army on the battlefield, accumulate military merits, and are expected to be among the bottom of the army monks。 It's just ten monks, whether two or three of them can survive and become monks with the army, God knows. Even if he becomes a monk with the army, what should he do if he has to go south?

This saying has a nose and eyes. Because it can stand up to scrutiny, Su Gaoshan, the big man who wants to go crazy for money, really did this kind of trick of killing chickens and taking eggs.

But now that people's hearts are scattered, and the big forces have long since fallen apart, who dares to take the lead in unmasking?

At this time, Shujian Lake is cultivated, but everyone thinks of Liu Zhimao, back then they were afraid that Liu Zhimao would be among the five realms, but now they only hate Liu Zhimao's cultivation and lack of concentration, otherwise why would he become a prisoner of Gongliudao and unable to serve Shujian Lake?

Chen Ping'an landed on Qingxia Island, sat in the mountain gate house for a while, and found that there was no dust, and quickly relieved, it should be done by Gu Can.

It seems to be a violation of the agreement between the two parties, but in fact it is a good thing.

Chen Ping'an walked out of the house and glanced at the lake.

Along the way, you have to pass through many islands, and you must have known the news.

It's just that this time is different from the past, and there are no more guests who come to visit, in fact, the last time Chen Ping'an returned to Shujian Lake from Shihao Kingdom, it was already this kind of lonely situation.

Yu Hui, the owner of Zizhu Island, Liu Chongrun of Zhuhai Island and other island owners are endless, visiting one after another, as if Chen Ping'an is the monarch of Shujian Lake.

The rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor in the downtown no one asks.

Since ancient times.

Chen Ping'an was happy to be quiet, but he still went to the ruins of Hengbo Mansion to stay for a while, and if he looked at it more, he could experience more of the sinister nature of the cultivation on the mountain.

This time, Gu Can quickly came to the ruins of Hengbo Mansion and stood beside Chen Ping'an, "I thought you would come back after the New Year." ”

Chen Ping'an sighed: "Next, I have to go to the mountains south of Shujian Lake, which may take a little longer. ”

Gu Can nodded.

Chen Ping'an asked, "Has Tian Hujun looked for you?"

Gu Can said: "I have found it, I said it more sincerely, and persuaded me to take the initiative to lower my body, saying that since I am from Longquan County, it is a lot of capital, I might as well go to Chishui City to find a young monk with the army, saying that at such an age, to be able to garrison Chishui City, it must be a big deal, and I can have a relationship with this person, maybe I can ask for a safe situation." It's just that I can't quite believe her. Now she is closer to Han Jingling and Huang He in private. ”

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "The reason why she persuaded you to go to Chishui City is not a lie, but it may not be possible to get her that result, you didn't agree to go to Chishui City to find that Dali military monk, it's not wrong." Because you don't know what kind of temperament that so-called well-known monk in the army is, whether he would have been stumbled by Han Jingling and Huang He a long time ago. I don't know, but I can say something about people's common feelings, for example, if the young monk is really a son of a wealthy lord, but he can join the army and serve as a monk who must go into battle and fight, it means that this person is not only arrogant and unwilling to rely on the family to succeed, this is one of them, and the son of the family often understands your Gu Can's previous style of acting in Shujian Lake, even if he understands, he will not approve of it, because they are familiar with the rules of officialdom and recognize that set of rules of conduct. So, I'm not saying that if you don't go to Chishui City, it's necessarily right, but it's certainly not wrong. ”

Gu Can turned his head to look at Chen Ping'an, and asked with a smile, "How do you understand this?"

Chen Ping'an pointed to his eyes, and then pointed to his head, "If you look and think more, you will make fewer mistakes, and you will be ready to know and correct your mistakes at all times. The road can't get narrower and narrower, otherwise one day you will suddenly find yourself in a dead end of a dead-end road. ”

Gu Can squatted down, picked up a piece of gravel, and threw it out casually, "Don't you also say that you'd rather be broken than broken?"

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "That's when you don't have a choice, at this point, you have to think about it first, what is really no choice, and why did you come to that step where there is no way out, and then think about it, is it possible, there is no endless road, in fact."

There are also options. ”

Chen Ping'an also squatted down and picked up a piece of green glazed tile that was resting on the secular dynasty, "You may feel a little complicated now, it's because you haven't built this vein yet, so you feel annoyed and troublesome." In fact, it is not so difficult, this is like a person walking between the mountains and rivers, paving the road in the mountains, building bridges in the water, as long as you know how to pave the road and build bridges, you will find that in fact, when encountering mountains and rivers blocking the road, the difficulties of life are not so difficult to pass, of course, knowing the method of paving the road and building the bridge, how to find those materials, it will also be very tiring, pick up the stones by yourself, go up the mountain to chop firewood, there is really no money, and you have to owe credit with friends, and even have to whisper, to borrow money from people you don't like, in order to pave the road and build a bridge, but when you cross the river and climb the mountain, you will find that everything is worth it。 What's more, in the end, you may not be able to succeed, but only at that moment can you say, I have a clear conscience, I am still in a desperate situation, and then talk about what you said earlier that it is better to be broken than to be complete, which is in order. ”

Gu Can lowered his head and muttered, "In Shujian Lake, that's what you did." ”

Chen Ping'an lowered his head and blew away the dust of the green glazed tile, and snorted, "You may not want to listen to it, I arrived at Qingxia Island, and after I was very disappointed in you, I realized the difference between us, the words are ugly, but the words belong to me, you listen first." That's when we first step out of the Lizhu Cave Heaven, we are all scared of this world, right?"

Gu Can nodded vigorously.

Chen Ping'an said slowly: "But we have chosen different truths, I am carefully looking at this strange world, for all the people who appear around me, I try my best to see their true thoughts, to learn from their good, to think about how they can become strong." As for you, it is to find the most worry-free and effortless shortcut, I can understand your hardships on Qingxia Island, as well as your protection of your mother, I have to admire you, but there are some things, not that I am close to you, knowing your suffering, I can say to you Gu Can, Gu Can, you are doing the right thing. Things in the world, in fact, right and wrong are clear, don't think that people's hearts are complicated, even the most basic right and wrong are confused, I'm here, to say something more bastard, even if you are a bad person, you should know what you are, how many rules you have broken, such a bad person, can be a disaster for thousands of years. You don't understand this, and you used to like to pretend not to understand. ”

Gu Can sighed and complained: "It's not your fault, you came to Shujian Lake so late, and if you told me this earlier, I would definitely be able to listen to it." ”

Chen Ping'an was not angry at all, this was just a child's habitual hard mouth, but it was a manifestation of recognition in his heart.

It is different from the first meal at the dinner table in Chunting Mansion before, and Gu Can's admission that night that he "likes to kill".

Chen Ping'an rubbed Gu Can's head.

Gu Can lowered his head.

Chen Ping'an said softly: "If your mother secretly tells you one day that she is going to deliberately plan an assassination in Chunting Mansion, so that I can stay on Qingxia Island and be the door god for you two mothers, don't promise her, because it's useless, but you don't have to quarrel with her, because it's useless, have you ever thought that it is not even your father who can really change some of your mother's minds, but you?"

Gu Can raised his head with a shocked expression.

Chen Ping'an smiled: "What, I already told you?"

Gu Can sighed and muttered, "I'm a little afraid of you, Chen Ping'an." ”

Chen Ping'an put down the glazed tile in his hand and said hoarsely: "That was when I was in the town, I hid it well, and I didn't tell you many bad things." ”

Gu Can laughed, "That's right, where would I think about this at that time, thinking about you buying this and buying that, every time you take copper coins back to Mud Bottle Lane from the Dragon Kiln, I'll be the same as the New Year, by the way, don't you really feel sorry for money?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "If it were someone else, I would feel distressed, but on your side, I have never been distressed." At first, I wanted to repay the kindness, but then it was not, and it became natural to get used to it. ”

Gu Can suddenly asked a question, "Then have you ever thought that your friend might feel burdened?"

Chen Ping'an smiled, "That's a good question." ”

Gu Can smiled.

Chen Ping'an raised his arm, drew a long line, and said seriously to Gu Can: " First, our life, under normal circumstances, is very likely to be longer than the common people, so we have to look at the long term, think more about good people, good things, travel all over the world, see the mountains and rivers thousands of miles, on the road of life, I will also encounter the hurdles that I can't pass, encounter things that I can't figure out, at that time, I will come to you for help, I will not be embarrassed, so I will tell you before, good friend relationship, such as the old wine cellar, the remaining year, will be fragrant. ”

Chen Ping'an clenched his fists lightly, "Second, Gu Can, have you ever thought that I have also seen a lot of people who make me feel ashamed of myself?" Yes, in fact, there are more than one or two, even in Shujian Lake, as well as Su Xinzhai and Zhou Guonian, even if I put aside my relationship with you, just meeting them, it makes me feel uneasy, and I feel that there can be such a good ...... People, ghosts?"

Chen Ping'an looked at Gu Can, watching the subtle changes in his eyes and face.

And make no secret of his observations.

Gu Can and Chen Ping'an looked at each other, "Chen Ping'an, can I ask you for something? Can you send my mother out of Shujian Lake? For example, go back to Mud Bottle Lane, or send it to my father." ”

Chen Ping'an asked, "What about you?"

Gu Can said: "You said that being reasonable and unreasonable actually have to pay a price. I understand the price of being unreasonable, and I want to try the price of being reasonable. The trip to the mountains south of Shujian Lake, I will go with Zeng Ye, you only need to send my mother away from Shujian Lake. ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay." ”

It's like I've been waiting for this sentence, I've been waiting for a long time.

Gu Can clasped his hands in his sleeves, and Chen Ping'an also clasped his hands in his sleeves, looking at the ruins together.

After that, Gu Can returned to Chunting Mansion, and about the new agreement with Chen Ping'an, he didn't say a word to his mother, only said some words to comfort her.

And Chen Ping'an went to Chishui City.

That Dali Taiping Nothing Plate, I can't see Su Gaoshan's face, and I see a monk stationed in this city, it is still enough.

As a result, after entering the heavily guarded Fan Mansion, they saw the young monk, and both of them looked at each other.

Guan Yiran.

Chen Ping'an.

It is a small world.

Guan Yiran is very polite, warm and sincere.

But when Chen Ping'an said that he would send Gu Canniang from Qingxia Island to Longquan County, Guan Yiran did not agree, but did business, saying that this matter could be big or small, and he was not good at making decisions without authorization, so he had to report to the general Su Gaoshan.

Of course, Chen Ping'an has no objection.

This is the rule of doing things.

People are confused, there is no distinction between public and private, it seems to be a stepping stone to take a shortcut, the exchange of human relations is extremely smooth, and the temporary friendship is sweet, but in fact, one by one the troubles are left on the road of life, maybe one day they will be unhappy.

Guan Yiran said that within ten years, half a month at the latest, the general would give an answer, and no matter whether it was good or bad, he would notify Chen Ping'an as soon as possible.

Talked about business.

The two drank again, and Chen Ping'an was treated.

As Guan Yiran said last time at the gate of Shihaoguo County, this young monk of Dali joked that he could pay for anything, but the king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't owe him Guan Yiran's wine.

Although Guan Yiran is the great-great-grandson of the head of the Guan family of the contemporary Dali Dongliang, as Chen Ping'an guessed before, the more ambitious the children of the official eunuchs, the more important they are to the word rules, and if Gu Can comes here, Guan Feiran is very likely to let him eat directly behind closed doors, and the Yellow Crane and the like, have indeed been blowing a lot of wind on Guan Pingran's side recently, and the sinister intentions are not how clever they are, Guan Feiran can see through it at a glance, you need to know that the Guan family is the mainstay of Dali officialdom for two hundred years, and she has seen too much about this set, Guan Feiran will even feel that Huang Crane and others are still not smart enough, even if they can exchange a Gu Can for short-term benefits, but at least in his Guan Yiran line, don't want to catch it, the gains and losses, Huang He may have thought of it, but the immediate benefits are too tempting, and he may not think of it, because he can't imagine the depth of Guan Pingran's family background, and Guan Feiran has never revealed his identity to outsiders.

However, these insider stories, just like Chen Ping'an's reminder that he did not leak Liu Laocheng from Li Furui's side, even if Guan Pingran felt that Chen Ping'an was in love, he would not take out Huang He, Su Lian Shimada Hujun and their group as a talking point for small talk and wine.

Ten years later, Chishui City Flying Sword sent a message to Qingxia Island, Guan Yiran told Chen Ping'an that the general Su Gaoshan had personally promised to come down, Gu Can's mother, could take the Xianjia ferry back to Longquan County, but he was not allowed to carry too much fairy money, or the treasures of Qingxia Island's secret vault, and in exchange, Chen Ping'an must hand over the Dali Taiping Nothing Affair card, return the Da Li, and sell the file at the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to completely losing the talisman of the first-class monk of the Great Li, and if you want to get a piece in the future, you have to rely on meritorious service in exchange.

Chen Ping'an agreed without hesitation.

On the side of the Spring Court Mansion, when the woman suddenly heard the news, she was like being struck by lightning, and she was like hearing great bad news.

After stabilizing her mind a little, seeing that Chen Ping'an and Gu Can tacitly did not speak, the woman seemed to accept her fate, so she asked Chen Ping'an, what should Gu Can do, and said that if Gu Can did not leave Shujian Lake together, she would not leave Qingxia Island if she died.

Gu Can looked at Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an said: "You can leave together, and I can go by myself for the trip to the mountains south of Shujian Lake." ”

Gu Can asked, "Is my mother's return to Mud Bottle Lane this time, is it safe?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Whether it's Su Gaoshan or Guan Yiran, as long as you agree, you can believe it." If you really don't feel at ease, I also hope that you can accompany your mother to go back, there are some things, as long as you sincerely want to do, you can do it. ”

Gu Can fell into deep thought.

The woman timidly asked, "Will you be able to come back later?"

Chen Ping'an said: "There is this opportunity, but I don't dare to guarantee it now." ”

After that, the woman asked for many details about her return to her hometown, and Chen Ping'an replied one by one, obviously what she thought of, Chen Ping'an thought of, and even what the woman didn't think of, he also thought of.

This made the woman with a knife feel a little more comfortable.

can take away part of the savings of the Spring Courtyard Mansion, such as a large pile of fairy money, and can also select five or six maidservants of the mansion, calligraphy and painting antiques, and also have a share of the three major boxes. She was also able to personally select ten spiritual weapons and one magic weapon from the secret treasury of Qingxia Island.

After that, the woman was like an ant moving, and her fighting spirit was high, radiating a brilliance similar to that of the swallows in Mud Bottle Lane and replenishing the family.

Chen Ping'an didn't care about these anymore, Gu Can had been with her.

In the end, Gu Can came to the house at the gate of the mountain to find Chen Ping'an, saying that he planned to accompany his mother on this trip, otherwise he would still not be at ease.

Chen Ping'an smiled and agreed.

The two sat on a small bamboo chair built by Chen Ping'an, basking in the warm winter sun.

Gu Can asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head: "The things I am most afraid of have happened, and I have faced them, so it is difficult to be disappointed." ”

Gu Can was carrying the charcoal cage hand stove that Chen Ping'an had handed over earlier, "I'm sorry." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "The same, I also made the worst plan at the time, I told you the same before, I had a ten-year appointment with a girl, if I really want to spend so many years in Shujian Lake, I will also leave for a while, take a trip to the Inverted Hanging Mountain and the Great Wall of Sword Qi, I have seen her, and she told the reason for the matter, and then return to Shujian Lake, what do you say? Go, as long as it really comes back, ten years and a hundred years later, later, it doesn't matter." ”

Chen Ping'an turned his head, "But I said in advance, if you come late, it's better not to come at all." ”

Gu Can nodded and said, "No." Believe me once. ”

Chen Ping'an nodded.

At the end of this year, there was not a single snow in Shujian Lake.

One day, Sulu Shimada Hujun personally asked a boat from Qingxia Island to dock at the ferry, and the woman took six of the most pleasing maids and maidservants, as well as boxes, and boarded the ferry.

Chen Ping'an stood at the bow of the boat with Gu Can.

Tian Hujun didn't show up again except for saying hello at the beginning, I don't know if he was judging the situation or feeling guilty, so he didn't show up anyway.

Gu Can asked softly, "For this matter, let's spend it again." ”

Chen Ping'an carried the charcoal cage to keep warm, "I used to fight for water for your family at night, and I beat people many times. Even after becoming a potter, because I went back to the town to help your family do farm work as soon as I was free, the gossip that came out, the words were so bad that I almost didn't break down back then, that kind of discomfort is not better than paying some external things now, in fact, it will be more difficult. It will make me feel constrained, and I feel that it is not right to help, and it is not right not to help. ”

Gu Can actually didn't care much about the chewing tongues of these long-tongued women, and gently bumped Chen Ping'an on the shoulder, "Chen Ping'an, tell you a secret, in fact, I always felt that you really wanted to be my father, in fact, it wasn't bad, change to other men, dare to enter my house, see that I don't pee in his rice bowl, and pour feces into the rice tank in his house." ”

Chen Ping'an's face darkened instantly, and he slapped Gu Can's head hard.

Gu Can said with a hippie smile: "Joke, don't take it seriously." ”

Immediately, Gu Can was a little gloomy, "To be honest, I really don't have the slightest impression of that father." I don't know what else to say after meeting. ”

Chen Ping'an sighed, "Take your time." ”

When he arrived at Chishui City, Guan Yiran greeted him in person and had a very happy conversation with Chen Ping'an after getting off the boat, which made Tian Hujun, who was staying in the cabin on the top floor, a little surprised.

Gu Can and Chen Ping'an parted and said, "Don't worry, I will rush back soon, maybe you can leave Shujian Lake earlier than expected, and then do your own thing." ”

Chen Ping'an carried the charcoal cage, nodded, and watched them leave, on the Fan's White Jade Square in Chishui City, there was already a Xianjia ferry personally dispatched by Su Gaoshan, and there was a Jindan monk sitting in it, in addition to two monks accompanying the army.

Now the entire northern part of Aquarius is the territory of Da Li, in fact, even if there is no Jindan Earth Immortal, there will not be much risk.

The ferry slowly lifts into the air.

Chen Ping'an retracted his gaze, Guan Yiran stood beside him, and said with a smile: "Your matter, I just heard about it before, I knew that there was a strange bookkeeper on Qingxia Island, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but after I found out that it was you, I recently picked out some Liuwu Island Mansion newspapers, and transferred some Green Wave Pavilion spy reports, and took a deeper understanding, I have to say, it's really the most stupid method." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Grinding bricks for mirrors, snow for food, what if it really happens?"

Guan Yiran said: "But if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have the courage to write one more letter to the general and have the courage to urge it." This is not an invitation, let alone boasting, but now I am still afraid, you don't know the temper of our general, I was the earliest old army commander, and now I am also a real general, plus my current boss, on weekdays, blowing his beard and glaring at us, like the old man seeing his son-in-law, how to look at how it is not pleasing to the eye, but when they themselves see the general, one by one with the mouse to see the cat, one by one will be more than the other will be sloppy and pat, without blushing, so I have to ask you for a pot or two of wine to drink, suppress the shock. ”

Chen Ping'an laughed, and Guan Yiran and a few of his friends, drank a meal together, the wine was from Chen Ping'an, they asked Fan for a few plates of wine and side dishes, because there are rules, sitting on the gold and silver mountains, no one dares to fish and meat, and can only touch Guan Pingran's light, and finally caught a wronged head, so he worked hard to gather wool, not soft at all, a young man named Yu Shanfang, is also a monk with the army, but at that time in the county town of Shihaoguo, Guan Feiran is still the same rank, this time is a subordinate, the man complained, saying that Guan Feiran's stinky little white face is a good tire, he is not convinced。 Guan Yiran shook his head, smiled hippiely, and said that he didn't accept that you would beat me.

As a result, Yu Shanfang hesitated for a long time, and then gently "touched" Guan Yiran's shoulder with a fist, and then smiled, turned his fist into a palm, and wiped it gently, saying that General Guan has the smallest belly, and his ability to kill the enemy is not big, and his ability to hold grudges is not small, how dare I.

Looking at the gags between their robes, Chen Ping'an just smiled and drank.

Then Guan Yiran told an interesting story about Shihao country.

In fact, it's a mess of their gang.

At that time, there was a pedantic old scholar who had just moved his family from the capital to the city, I heard that the family background was very large, but it was only two generations down, and it was far worse than before.

So the angry Yu Shanfang personally led the troops to the door, and saw an unforgettable scene so far.

When Yu Shanfang talked about it at the moment, he was still embarrassed and took a sip of wine.

That day.

An old man who was nearly blind, dressed in an old green shirt that had been washed to almost gray, was sitting in the lobby, and the old man was sitting there alone.

I can't see the big armor clearly, but the clanging of the iron armor and the sound of footsteps are enough to make the Shihao County Guards tremble in the battlefield.

But Yu Shanfang didn't expect it in more than ten elites, and before they could speak, the old scholar sneered in the most upright and round official language: "That's how Cui Qi taught you to fight the world?! Qi Jingchun taught you the truth?! What a majestic big Li iron horseman, what a big Li who listened to the sound of the century-old Langlang books of the Mountain Cliff Academy!"

The old man in the Confucian shirt slapped the handle of the table suddenly, tried his best to widen his eyes, and glared angrily at those captains and military guards, "I want to see if such a bullshit Dali can jump for a few years!"

The old man stood up, stretched out his fingers, and scolded angrily at the elite of the big li wearing iron armor.

scolded Yu Shanfang aggrieved, but in the end, he was always included, not a soldier, no one drew a knife out of the sheath, and he didn't even say a cruel word.

He left the mansion and did not allow anyone to harass it.

After Guan Yiran found out, he personally wrote to Su Gaoshan and asked if he could make an exception and allow this family not to post the god of Yuan Caomen.

In fact, Guan Yiran also felt that it was unlikely, after all, Dali had an iron law, and no one dared to cross the line one step.

As a result, Su Gaoshan sent a letter back, scolding Guan Yiran with a bloody squirt, saying that now Shihao Kingdom is my Dali domain, such a scholar, if you don't respect it, do you respect Han Jingling's turtle son, and the Huang family's waste? This matter, so it is decided, allow the old gentleman not to post the god of Da Li Gate outside the door, once the national teacher is accountable, he Su Gaoshan will bear it, even if it is noisy to the prince's side, he Su Gaoshan will do this, if you have a kind, there is really a day when the national teacher holds a grudge, remember to say a good word to Lao Tzu on your grandfather's side, and then go to the national teacher to say a good word, maybe you can let the national teacher dissipate his anger.

Chen Ping'an listened silently.

Guan Yiran finally leaned back in a chair, looked at Chen Ping'an, and said, "I think there can be more such scholars, Chen Ping'an, what do you think?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "The more the merrier." ”

Guan Yiran squinted and smiled, and raised the wine bowl, "Here, you and I are half a scholar, these rough men and martial artists in Yushanfang know a fart, come and come, just the two of us will go one." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and lifted the wine bowl, bumping into Guan Yiran's wine bowl, there was no difference between the top and bottom of the wine glass and wine bowl, "Then let's go." ”

Yu Shanfang snorted, also pulled the rest of the robes, and said loudly: "Let's be a good man at the border, go by yourself, don't bother with these sour talents." ”

It was also a bowl bump, and the sound was crisp.

In the end, they were all a little drunk, and after Guan Yiran sent Chen Ping'an to the door of the mansion alone, the cold wind of the winter night blew, his eyes became a little clearer, and he reminded softly: "Regarding the overall trend of Shujian Lake, at least in the near future, you should not get involved." Since even I can't access some of your files, I can't hide it, about this matter, I also made a special trip to Feijian to send a message to the capital family, and the reply is also very vague, full of mysteries, so what does this mean, I know it well, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just ......"

Chen Ping'an had already nodded and quipped: "It seems that the wine is not drunk properly, so you will say these words, otherwise except for the first sentence, you don't have to tell me the rest of the rest." ”

Guan Yiran slapped his palm on Chen Ping'an's shoulder, "Good guy, you said this yourself, and you owe me a drink." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "When the overall situation is decided, it will be regarded as a promotion for you, and then I will invite you to drink a celebration wine." ”

Guan Yiran smiled and nodded.

It's all in plain sight.

If Chen Ping'an often comes to the door after that, Guan Yiran will also like it, but this involves many officialdom taboos, and there will be some sequelae for both parties.

But this kind of words, Guan Yiran can only put it in his stomach, feeling that since he has recognized a friend, he has to pay this price, otherwise he Guan Yiran is really just greedy for a cup, and he is greedy for Chen Ping'an's family background of wine collection, and a few sips of Xianjia wine? He, the future head of the Guan family, the pillar of the Dali Temple, will lack this? What he lacks is just a friend that he recognizes.

But since Chen Ping'an was able to figure out the matter from the first sentence and said the words "the overall situation has been decided", Guan Yiran was even more happy.

True friends, drinking happily is a must, but life is unsatisfactory, there are always some unpleasant things there, if friends can look at it, on the heart, willing to think about each other, that is really the best, no bowl in the hand, but people like drinking alcohol.

The young man in the cotton robe walked slowly on the quiet and deserted street.

Guan Yiran looked at the emaciated back, and remembered the emaciated sunken cheeks.

For no reason, Guan Yiran felt a little sad, but he felt that friend was actually a little chic.

Probably a real swordsman will be like this, above the banquet, he will also drink to his heart's content, and the banquet will disperse, and he will still walk alone.

Guan Yiran has drunk with many people, and he has invited many people to drink.

But once there was a notorious monk who was a high god, and when he returned home from the border that year, the fairy himself appeared and found him on Chi'er Street, saying that he wanted to invite him to drink and talk about something.

Guan Yiran smiled and asked, "Are you worthy?"

At that time, everyone around him felt that Guan Yiran was too drunk, and he would definitely cause a lot of trouble, even if it was Guan's, he would have to eat a glass of fine wine.

Afterwards, when he returned to the Yichi Lane Mansion, Grandpa Tai laughed and patted the young great-grandson on the shoulder.

That was the second time Guan Yiran was so happy to see his grandfather, the first time was when he decided to join the army and go to the border pass to be a lowest-level scout monk.

There are always some people who feel that their status can determine whether a person can sit at certain wine tables.

These people, even if they are lucky enough to sit at a certain wine table, they will only bow their heads and bow their waists, take the initiative to toast again and again, and when they get up and clink glasses, the wine glasses are lowered again and again, and they can't wait to lie on the ground and drink.

It's fun and funny.

Guan Yiran hugged the back of his head with both hands, and said with a smile: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, these people, too, must understand, after all, some are still forced by life and have to do it, but more, they still sharpen their heads, and use their upbringing, family style and backbone in exchange for real silver. However, at least if I close this table, they won't want to drink at the table. In order to be able to contact these guys less in the future, I should also work harder, or I will have to toast them one day, and it will be the end of it. When the time comes, in addition to himself, and the entire Guan family, there are so many friends who have drunk together. ”

Chen Ping'an, who had already left Chishui City, of course couldn't guess that Guan Yiran would think so much and so far.

After returning to the ferry port, I found that the Qingxia Island ferry boat was still waiting.

This is a natural thing.

An identity cloudy but scary enough Guan Yiran is enough for Tian Hujun and them to re-examine the situation.

Maybe after Huang He heard about it, he would dispel the idea of inviting himself to drink, because he couldn't make a show with himself.

After boarding the boat, Tian Hujun said with a guilty face: "I can only watch the little junior brother and aunt leave the Spring Courtyard Mansion, I'm sorry." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Manpower is limited, just do your best." ”

Tian Hujun looked at that face, especially the eyes of the bookkeeper, and didn't find any sarcasm, but he was still worried in his heart, after all, after Master Liu Zhimao almost had no possibility of making a comeback, what she did was true to try her best to plan for herself and Su Lin Island, and did her best for her master and junior brother...... It's not at all.

Chen Ping'an has changed the topic, "How to deal with Chunting Mansion?"

Tian Hujun said with a smile: "As long as Mr. Chen is willing, he can move in at any time." ”

Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "Forget it, the original house is used to living." ”

Tian Hujun didn't say anything more.

Chunting Mansion is Qingxia Island's second only to Hengbo Mansion's spiritual energy, as soon as the woman moved away, almost all people, including Yu Hui, began to covet it, as for that Hengbo Mansion, everyone wants to take it into their pockets, but no one has that ability, even if it is Tian Hujun, the current Qingxia Island talker, he doesn't think he can rebuild Hengbo Mansion and enter it.

Looking for death?

As for the Chunting Mansion, Tian Hujun will definitely take it back, and as for letting Chen Ping'an move over, it is just a polite remark that is not true, and it is clear that Chen Ping'an will not agree.

It's still relatively easy to deal with smart people, especially smart people who talk about rules.

If it weren't for Chen Ping'an who appeared out of thin air with a friend named Guan Yiran, Tian Hujun might still stop at the ferry, but he would never greet him in person, and it would be a waste of saliva to accompany a bookkeeper who has gone here.

Tian Hujun was silent for a moment, then said goodbye and left.

Chen Ping'an carried the charcoal cage and nodded with a smile.

Tian Hujun looked at the haggard man's smile, and his heart rippled slightly, but he didn't think deeply.

Chen Ping'an turned his back to Tian Hujun, looking at the lake view, and traveled thousands of miles.

Yugyuzong.

It's dark under the lights, I really didn't expect it.

If it is Yuguizong's words, then when it comes to the battle of the Great Dao that I couldn't figure out before, it is really proportionate, just right.

But the twists and turns here are still hiding behind the scenes.

So Guan Yiran was reminded by a bystander, and Chen Ping'an recognized it.

It's just that in this way, many plans can only wait and see, maybe this can only wait for one to end without a problem.

For example, some new rules were formulated for Shujian Lake, such as occupying an island in Shujian Lake, specifically for ghosts and spirits, and creating a mountain sect that is indisputable and has the power of self-preservation.

Chen Ping'an actually thought a lot, but since the world is unpredictable, he can only make changes according to the situation.

The good and bad, the ups and downs, the trade-offs and the trade-offs, are not enough for outsiders.

There are many things, but there is silence.

Returned to Qingxia Island, Chen Ping'an returned to the house, the stove burned charcoal, adding some warmth to the whole house, there was not much charcoal in the bag, Chen Ping'an laughed at himself, if it wasn't for Guan Yiran's appearance, it is estimated that if you want charcoal, you have to ask Qingxia Island for it, of course, you will still give it. But now, someone should come to me tomorrow to ask, Mr. Chen's house charcoal needs to be replenished?

Chen Ping'an sat down at the desk and continued to settle accounts.

I didn't sleep all night.

After dawn, Chen Ping'an pushed the door and walked to Zhu Xian's Mansion, the porter Hongshu is still on an errand in Chunting Mansion, I don't know if since the beginning of this year, with his loss of power, the broken mouth of the housekeeper and maid in the house will make a comeback, or will it become more and more intense, but it doesn't matter, this time it will be different. Presumably, after three times or twice, the Chunting Mansion should also have a longer memory, and the days of red crisp should not be too difficult

。

Zhu Xian's Mansion ghost cultivator Ma Yuanzhi, after seeing Chen Ping'an's more and more inhuman and ghostly honor, he was very happy, no way, in this matter, the ghost cultivator is really kind, when it comes to his marriage with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Liu Chongrun, we must be more vigilant against young men like Chen Ping'an, so that one day Chen Ping'an did not drink his own wedding wine, but what did he receive Chen Ping'an and Liu Chongrun's wedding card.

Chen Ping'an accompanied Ma Yuanzhi to chat a few words, and then left Zhu Xian's mansion.

Ma Yuanzhi has been smiling from ear to ear, how to see how pleasing Chen Ping'an is, a mouthful of Mr. Chen, has never been so sincere.

Chen Ping'an couldn't cry or laugh, and he was too lazy to continue to fight with Ma Yuanzhi.

The new gatehouse of Zhu Xian Mansion is a maid from the Chunting Mansion, and when she saw Chen Ping'an, she was very enthusiastic, you must know that this is the "birthplace" of the red crisp, just because of the attachment to Mr. Chen, he was able to be a small leader in the Chunting Mansion for a leisurely day, Chen Ping'an was also polite to the woman, but that's it. Talk more, and what can you talk about. There is a huge Qingxia Island, and there are only a few red cakes.

Sure enough, as Chen Ping'an guessed, a few more acquaintances came to Qingxia Island today to talk with him about the past.

Chen Ping'an is now dealing with these, practice makes perfect, and he is no longer as awkward and unnatural in his speech as before.

It's all bit by bit, experienced.

Chen Ping'an did not celebrate the New Year on Qingxia Island, and left Shujian Lake by boat, during which the boat stopped far outside Gongliu Island and continued to hurry.

I went to Lutong City and led the horse, but unfortunately the bun shop has been closed, but I don't know if it is unsustainable, or it will be closed for the New Year, and it will be opened again after the Lantern Festival.

Chen Ping'an spent the New Year on the road.

Right on horseback.

Relax.

Don't think it's bitter.

happened to find Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi, who had been waiting for a long time, on the first day of the first lunar month.

Chen Ping'an rested for a day, and set off on the second day of junior high school, and the three horses circled the border of Shujian Lake and went all the way south.

Finally, at a Xianjia ferry where the ferry had been stopped for a long time, Chen Ping'an said that he would wait for someone here, and if he couldn't wait within ten years, they would continue to hurry.

After Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were practicing, they ran together to visit the Xianjia Ferry, where there were many shops and a dazzling array of goods.

After Ma Duyi went shopping, he said that he couldn't watch it anymore, otherwise the more he looked at it, the more worried he became, and he would feel that he was too poor.

Chen Ping'an gave Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi a small summer money each, saying that this was a New Year's red envelope.

Zeng Ye was embarrassed to accept it, so he didn't agree, Ma Duyi was not a little hypocritical with Mr. Chen, and asked if he could give her Zeng Ye's one as well.

Chen Ping'an smiled: "Don't think silver is pressing, right?"

Ma Duyi chick pecks rice.

Of course, Chen Ping'an didn't agree, and took back the little summer money, "I'm sorry, I don't think silver is pressing." ”

Zeng Ye laughed, gloating, and hit Ma Duyi with an elbow, which hurt him so much that he bared his teeth.

At Xianjia Ferry, I waited for nearly ten years.

At dusk that day, a ferry boat had the courage to dock at the ferry, but when the monks saw the flag on the ferry, they were suddenly surprised.

Dog's day, it's the battle flag of the big barbarian.

Chen Ping'an led the man back to the inn, Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi looked embarrassed.

Because it's Gu Can.

Zeng Ye was purely afraid of Gu Can.

Ma Duyi was worried in his heart, because Gu Can's appearance at this time was really not a good thing.

The last wishes of many feminine ghosts were originally on Mr. Chen's side, and they worked. It is very likely that as soon as he sees Gu Can himself, he will regret it on the spot, and even the resentment in his heart will intensify, and many yin things may directly become powerful ghosts who have completely lost their minds, and then they will have to squander Mr. Chen's talisman in vain.

Chen Ping'an asked Zeng Ye to move out of the prison Yama Hall from the big bookcase that night and put it on the table in his room.

There was only Gu Can in the house.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi both returned to their respective rooms, and then Ma Duyi found Zeng Ye for the first time, and the two sat together in a daze.

In the second half of the night, Chen Ping'an knocked on the door gently.

After Ma Duyi ran quickly to open the door, Chen Ping'an motioned for them all to sit down, and after he sat down, he said softly: "Don't worry about me, you think, no matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as we did at the beginning?"

Zeng Ye snorted.

Ma Duyi also nodded slightly.

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "Isn't it tiring to accompany me like this?"

Zeng Ye shook his head vigorously.

Ma Duyi rolled his eyes and said: "My heart is tired to death." ”

Zeng Ye said timidly: "Miss Ma, how can you still die." ”

Chen Ping'an couldn't help laughing.

Ma Duyi rarely ate deflated on Zeng Ye's side, and under the table, he stepped on Zeng Ye hard.

Chen Ping'an clasped his hands in his sleeves, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and said softly: "I'll squint for a while, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Before going to bed.

Chen Ping'an thought, I don't know if the people in my hometown who care about him are okay?

In addition to his hometown Longquan County, this world, there are other places in the world and that blessed land, is it okay during the Spring Festival of the year?

Chen Ping'an fell asleep slowly.

Some slight snoring.

It looks like I'm really sleepy.

Zeng Ye originally thought that Ma Duyi, who loved to break up with Mr. Chen, would make fun of Mr. Chen.

But when the tall boy turned his head to look, he found the horse girl, snorting, tears in her eyes.

The young man was puzzled, didn't Mr. Chen just snort a little while sleeping, Miss Ma, why are you so sad?

————

Longquan County.

The owner of a family in Mud Bottle Lane is actually a small house that has not returned from a long journey.

On the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the new Spring Festival, the blessing character and the door god have all been meticulously posted.

Not only is there a large table of extremely rich Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but the cook is also a distant realm martial artist, an old man who eats with chopsticks and is older, and a ten-realm martial artist who once almost entered the Martial God Realm, and a man in white with a demeanor like a god is the Beiyue Zhengshen of Da Li.

There is also a female ghost who lives in the remains of immortals.

Dead skin sat on the main seat with a face, but she was a black charcoal girl, saying that she was sitting for his master, no one was allowed to fight, the family had family rules, the master was not there, she, the founding disciple, had to provoke the rules.

In addition, there is a boy in Tsing Yi squatting on a bench, and a girl in a pink skirt who is well-behaved.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the old man surnamed Cui was the first to leave the house, and Wei Yan and Zhu Yan went out to travel together and casually walked around the town.

There were still three "little ones", who kept vigil around the fire together.

After dawn, outside the ancestral house in Mud Bottle Lane, firecrackers crackled.

A black charcoal girl with a wrong sword at her waist hugged her chest with her hands and nodded, expressing her satisfaction.

Pei Qian scrupulously obeyed the orders of her teacher, and did not only care about setting off firecrackers in the morning, otherwise she would wake up the people of the whole town with her temper.

Pei Qian let go of the firecracker and waved his big hand, "Let's go, let's fight!"

The girl in the pink skirt didn't join in the fun, so she had to watch the house. Shi Rou was even more lazy to accompany Pei Qian to mess around, and after she came to Longquan County, she became closer to the girl in the pink skirt.

The boy in Tsing Yi kept up with Pei Qian, lest the world be chaotic.

The boy in Tsing Yi, after seeing the rickety old man and the black charcoal girl for the first time, felt that he had to have a little shelf as the senior master of Luoluo Mountain, so he kept pressing his jumping temperament, pretending to be old-fashioned every day, which was very tiring, which made the girl in the pink skirt very uncomfortable.

Later, he found that the little black charcoal couldn't understand what he was talking about at all, he just stared at him in a daze and was stupid, so he completely let go of his hands and feet, took her to play crazy, and rode the black snake with a golden thread in his belly, and crossed the mountains and mountains.

After getting along with Pei Qian for a long time, the lingering melancholy and loss in the heart of the little boy in Tsing Yi has fainted a little.

As for Zhu Yong, he has met the old man surnamed Cui, and he is very respectful, but that's all.

In Pei Qian's eyes, it seems that as soon as the old cook arrived in Longquan County, he lost his sycophancy. However, he chatted with the handsome and lawless mountain god master, and often went to Piyun Mountain as a guest.

Pei Qian took the boy in Tsing Yi to "go door-to-door" in the streets and alleys, but he was very disappointed.

None of the opponents dared to come out to fight.

Pei Qian stomped his feet, "It's really boring!"

The little boy in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "Isn't there still that scurrying earth dog, look for it!"

Pei Qian hesitated, "It's the first day of the first month, isn't it good?"

The boy in Tsing Yi rubbed his chin, "That's right." Then let's talk about it tomorrow?"

Pei Qian nodded.

Pei Qian's so-called "fights" are actually those big white geese stocked in the alleys of the town, which are really arrogant and bullying.

Such a big alley, each going its own way, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so it is not okay? Do you have to peck me? Don't you know that to provoke the master is to pay the price of blood and tears?

The first time they met on a narrow road, Pei Qian and the fierce rival, the two sides fought wits and courage, and finally gave Pei Qian a handful of grabbing the neck of the big white goose, spinning in place a few times, and shouting to leave you.

Muddleheaded.

I never thought that the big white goose became more and more frustrated, fluttering its wings and fighting again, Pei Qian also found the trick, and succeeded again and again, the snow-white goose feathers in one place, picked it up for her, and made a shuttlecock with copper coins.

Over time, as long as they met that black charcoal girl, they took the initiative to take a detour. This made Pei Qian feel a little lonely, and then he was a little happy, feeling that he had tasted the taste of a grandmaster who was unbearable in a high place, thinking that he was still so young, he was so promising, he was worthy of being the master's founding disciple, and he didn't embarrass the master in his hometown!

Later, Pei Qian and Tsing Yi Xiaotong met a particularly wild earth dog in the mountains to the west.

Is this worth it?

Pei Qian is a person with great ambitions, and one of them is to fight the wildest dog.

Then there was a chase all over the mountains.

The boy in Tsing Yi helped block the road and intercepted it, which was very enjoyable, and after that, the two guys often went to trouble the earth dog who had become a spirit.

Pity the earth dog that suffered an unwarranted disaster, now the backer is just not in Longquan County, can only run around with his tail between his legs, the key is that even if it escapes to the mountain of Longquan Sword Sect, it can't escape the catastrophe, those two ruthless little bastards, just rushed up the mountain one by one, the immortal disciples on the mountain saw it, and didn't dare to care, Ruan Qiong saw it, and he was also happy, and he didn't stop it at all, but let the disciples in the door not have to restrain the two stubborn guys.

Pei Qian didn't forget the etiquette, holding a walking stick, seeing Ruan Qiong, he hugged his fists and saluted, very charismatic.

Ruan Qiong, who had never smiled on the disciple's side, even rubbed the little girl's head with a smile, saying that if you want to enter my sect to learn swords in the future, you can do it whether you have a name or not.

Pei Qian refused on the spot, once again reiterating that he was the founding disciple of the master.

She is not very afraid of this famous military saint, but is a little close, here, she hides a little secret.

Because after she saw the long river of time, she firmly remembered the sister in Tsing Yi, and felt that even if it was difficult to be a teacher, but it was okay to be a second teacher?

Ruan Qiong laughed and said that he would talk about it later, not in a hurry.

But I guess if he knew this little girl's inner thoughts, he wouldn't be able to laugh.

I also want to scold the kid surnamed Chen, he is really a thief, and the little hoe that digs the foot of the wall is unguardable.

Pei Qian and the boy in Tsing Yi walked to the vicinity of Mud Bottle Alley, Pei Qian suddenly ran to the iron lock well that had lost its chains, lay down there, and looked inside.

The boy in Tsing Yi squatted aside and asked, "What are you doing?"

Pei Qian said softly: "You all said that there are a lot of valuable things hidden in Longquan County, I want to see if there are any treasures in it, if there is, wouldn't it be rich?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi rolled his eyes and said: "I advise you not to think about it, it's better to say elsewhere, this is now a private forbidden place, that is, my face is big, so you can go to this side without a big face, don't you find that there are no people in the town to draw water?"

Pei Qian was disappointed and high-fived him with his fist, "What's the matter, when you get to Master's hometown, you have to find a good thing!"

The boy in Tsing Yi scratched his head, helpless.

Let's talk to Pei Qian about chance, people don't care at all, just casually say that it's lucky, people are interested.

is really playing the piano to the cow, and even the little boy in Tsing Yi who feels that he has enough brains to enter the water has to feel sorry for her.

The two sat at the mouth of the well, and the boy in Tsing Yi sighed.

Pei Qian asked, "What's wrong?"

The boy in Tsing Yi rubbed his cheeks, "I don't know what happened to my brother who is the god of water in the river." ”

Pei Qian sighed, "That's it, what else can I do, without you, people can't survive, it's not that I said you, you just think too much, what a fart." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi rolled his eyes.

Pei Qian crossed his arms around his chest, no longer cared about the children in Tsing Yi, and said to himself: "Master is really, he hasn't come back for so long." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi nodded, "This unreliable old man, but he owes me a few red envelopes." ”

Pei Qian hesitated, turned around, and took out a few copper coins from the embroidered bag given to him by Mrs. Gui of Lao Longcheng, "It's just a red envelope given to you by my master, is it enough?"

The boy in Tsing Yi was stunned and looked at the copper coins that Pei Qian had spread out in the palm of his hand, and suddenly felt sad and full of resentment, but he still stretched out his hand and wanted to take those copper coins, and the mosquito legs were also meat.

Pei Qian smiled and clenched his fists and put it away, putting it back in the embroidery bag, "Dream about you, I don't want to have so much money." ”

Then Pei Qian restrained his smile and patted the boy in Tsing Yi on the shoulder, "It's not easy for you to get mixed up in such a miserable situation, and you won't even let go of a few copper coins." It doesn't matter, my master said a sentence, keep the clouds open and see the moon, I will send you this sentence, I will be righteous, right?"

The boy in Tsing Yi hugged his head and wailed.

How did you live these bitter days?

Pei Qian sighed, he was really a guy who didn't grow up, so he had to take out the copper coins again and hand them to the boy in Tsing Yi, "Take it." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi immediately smiled.

Pei Qian shook his head angrily, and said: "Seeing that Qian's eyes are open, there is no interest!"

————

Another spring.

A woman in Tsing Yi and a young man in white did not return all the way north with the large group, but jumped off the ferry at the side of Red Candle Town.

The two then walked back to Longquan County on foot.

It was Ruan Xiu and Cui Dongshan.

In a bookstore in Red Candle Town, Cui Dongshan was so idle that he found an excuse and deliberately teased a group of guests.

One of them was anxious, and he didn't care that there was a beautiful girl standing next to the little white face, and shouted urgently: "When I see others doing well, I am not allowed to be blushing? Seeing others having a bad time, I am not allowed to be happy? Who are you, can you manage it?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, this is a good habit, don't change it." I'm not your father, you have such a good habit, why do you persuade you to change it?"

Ruan Xiu was neither bored nor amused.

As soon as Cui Dongshan saw that she began to take out the embroidered handkerchief again and start eating pastries, he hurriedly took her away and complained in a low voice: "Can you not eat this thing in front of me, I will panic if you take the pastry." ”

Ruan Xiu's eyes lit up, "You know?"

Cui Dongshan said helplessly: "I'm a great monk who almost didn't fly to the Ascension Realm, and now it's a little miserable, but my vision is still there, and I'm the guy who knows your roots the best in the world, can I not know?"

Ruan Xiu smiled slightly.

What should I do when I want to eat the real food of the world but can't put my mouth to it? She came up with a little way to eat something else, which is better than nothing.

The two continued on their way, passing by the Qidun Mountain.

Stopping at the top of the mountain, Cui Dongshan raised his eyes and looked south.

Emperor Dali is actually already the first emperor.

This news is almost too much to contain, and soon the central part of Aquarius will be known to passers-by.

The heirs of the Song family of Da Li, among the princes, Song He, of course, is the most vocal, the prince Song Mu who seems to have fallen from the sky, up and down the government and the opposition, without roots and foundation. The Dali Sect's Mansion is very secretive about this, no one dares to divulge half a word, there may be people who have had a slight movement in their minds, and then they evaporated from the world. Over the years in Zongrenfu, several old people have not been able to survive the scorching heat and cold, and they have died of illness.

With the "untimely death" of His Majesty the Emperor.

The truth is only in the hands of three people, the lady who was demoted to Changchun Palace to practice is the biological mother of the two princes, Song Changjing, the vassal king of the prison country, and Cui Yun, the embroidered tiger of the auxiliary country.

One occupies the righteousness and orthodoxy of the bloodline, the other is in charge of the entire Dali army, and the other is the national teacher of the Dali century-old national policy and all out of hand.

The three of them maintain a delicate balance between the opposition and the mountains, up and down the mountain.

Before the Zhu Ying dynasty is defeated, there will be no problems.

After the laydown.

There will be big trouble.

That lady, of course, has no doubt that she will do her best to favor Song He, who has stayed by her side since she was a child and watched him grow up, in fact, Song He is also a disciple of the old bastard.

Song He, or Song Jixin, is Qi Jingchun's disciple.

But there is only one person who can really decide who can become the new emperor of Da Li, the vassal king Song Changjing.

Even if he is not satisfied with being the prisoner of the country and becoming the emperor himself, the old bastard is also willing, this is one of the results of the calculation of the old and young "embroidered tigers" back then.

However, at present, it seems that Song Changjing is really not here, otherwise he would have taken off his iron armor and put on a dragon robe.

The mountain breeze is gusting, and the fragrance of grass and trees in early spring is shining.

Cui Dongshan narrowed his eyes.

It's really poured eight lifetimes of blood mold, there is a deliberate flower arrangement that does not bloom, and an unintentional willow and willow shady, first in the Dasui Mountain Cliff Academy, but I casually chatted with Mr. about the vein barrier, and almost fell on the stinky bull's nose avenue.

Cui Dongshan gave himself a big mouth.

There is also that old man Yao's hidden plan, and Old Man Yang definitely can't get rid of the relationship, so he is even more implicated.

Cui Dongshan gave himself another slap in the face.

Ruan Xiu has long been accustomed to this.

Cui Dongshan glanced at the cliff, thought about it, forget it, jump down, no one can die, but shame.

Cui Dongshan suddenly opened his teeth and claws, and scolded, "Old bastard, if you lose, you will lose, my husband and I will both admit it! But you shouldn't have a conscience and talk about a fart gentleman's dispute! Qi Jingchun is dead, my husband lost so badly, he didn't say anything in Shujian Lake, and he also suffered heavy losses, you even played chess with a dead man, the dispute between gentlemen, the fight for your uncle, you get out of here, let me fan your two big mouths, and see if you can spit out ivory in your dog's mouth......

Ruan Xiu squinted and smiled.

Cui Dongshan swallowed his saliva, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and said indifferently: "The moon is really round today." ”

It turned out that beside him, there was an old man in a Confucian shirt, who was the national teacher Cui Yun.

Cui Dongshan turned his head slowly, and said with an innocent face: "Why are you here?

Cui Yun sneered: "What, don't you say a word about the falling flowers season and the king?"

Cui Dongshan broke the jar, pointed at Cui Yun's nose, jumped to his feet and scolded: "Old bastard, what, I'm not convinced, which of my words is wrong? If you can point it out, I will be surnamed Cui, and you are my grandson!"

Ruan Xiu shook her head.

I've seen people looking for death, and it's rare to dare to look for death in such a different way.

Cui Yun actually ignored it at all, and the high-rise buildings in Chishui City on the edge of Shujian Lake back then would still pay attention to it a little bit.

Cui Han looked to the south, then shifted his gaze to the west, "Do you know where the real chessboard is?"

Cui Dongshan frowned and said, "Middle Earth, old Xiucai, there is a doorway?"

Cui Yun sneered: "You are now a frog at the bottom of a well." ”

Cui Dongshan heyed and slapped Cui Yun on the shoulder, "The old bastard who climbed up the well, give me this frog at the bottom of the well and say?"

Cui Zhenyi flicked Cui Dongshan's claws away, and said slowly: "The chessboard between me and Qi Jingchun is the world, all the world. A smoky Shujian Lake, what is it?"

Rao is Cui Dongshan, and his heartstrings are shaking at this moment.

Ruan Xiu didn't think about this, lazy.

Cui Yun said indifferently: "That's all there is to say, you just wait." But even you have to wait many years before you understand the key to this game. Even Chen Ping'an, the authority, has no way of knowing what he did back then for a long time, even in this life. ”

Cui Dongshan no longer had any cynical demeanor, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Cui Yun, then I'll wait and see!"

Cui Qian disappeared in a flash.

Cui Dongshan sighed.

Continue to rush with Ruan Xiu.

After that, there was no word all the way.

It's just that after entering the boundary of Longquan County, it rained a drizzle.

Cui Dongshan seemed to be overjoyed, reached out to catch the rain, and muttered: "Mr. Report is also the hometown of Xinghua Spring Rain." ”

————

Among the mountains of the difficult Lake of Shujian.

Another year of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The group walked all the way.

It's just that compared to the previous two times, there is one more Gu Can.

So the walk is getting slower and slower, and the more bumpy and difficult it is.

As for the conflict with those evil cultivators and ghost cultivators, in comparison, it is not painful.

In the territory of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, there have been wars.

On that trip, even Zeng Ye found a strange place.

Those mountain spirits, ghosts, monsters, beasts and monsters wandering in the mountains, as long as Mr. Chen appeared in front of them, and their minds fluctuated slightly, they would almost all be a little afraid, and some of them were even more timid and fled directly.

Gu Can also became more and more silent, but his eyes were firm.

During this period, Gu Can had hesitation, struggle, anger, and even chose to give up twice.

Mr. Chen, who changed from a blue cotton robe to a green shirt and back to cotton cloth, didn't say much, just stood beside Gu Can, sometimes he could speak, and sometimes he would be silent.

In the face of those ghost cultivators who kill people and rob money, Mr. Chen will punch and sword.

Obviously it is a weak physique, a turbulent soul, punching, sword, but extremely fast.

Indomitable.

It is the half-immortal soldier named "Sword Immortal", which has gradually become extremely docile, and every time it is unsheathed, before returning to the sheath on its own, it will haunt the owner and circulate slowly, like a bird depending on a person.

This year is over.

On the way back.

Finally, a goose feather snow was ushered in.

In the spring breeze this year, I returned to Shujian Lake.

In a high mountain, you can vaguely see the green lake.

Gu Can suddenly said, "Chen Ping'an, next, let me go down by myself." ”

Chen Ping'an turned his head to look at Gu Can, who had resolute eyes, and asked gently, "Have you thought about it?" I can walk with you for another year. ”

Gu Can shook his head and said, "Enough!"

Chen Ping'an rubbed his head.

Gu Can said: "But if one day, I mean, if you Chen Ping'an kills someone, I will definitely endure it first, and then kill his entire family, and the graves of the eighteenth generations of ancestors will be opened one by one." Anyway, at that time, you can't control me, and you can't scold me. ”

Chen Ping'an smiled helplessly.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were terrified when they heard it.

You must know that after Gu Can's determination to practice, the speed of his cultivation really made Ma Duyi feel that he was a cripple on the road of cultivation, and Gu Can didn't walk, he took the Xianjia ferry directly.

Because Gu Can is now a Dongfu Realm cultivator, and he is about to break the bottleneck.

Chen Ping'an parted ways with Gu Can and the others, rode alone, saying that he would go all the way north, and he might take the Xianjia ferry one day and return to Longquan County sooner.

One ride, one person.

Walked through the border of Shujian Lake and walked into the territory of Shihao Country.

There are often passers-by who see a ranger in a green shirt with a sword, people and horses are almost thin into bamboo poles, but the young man on a horse has a sparkling eye.

After that, Chen Ping'an stopped riding a horse and slowly traveled north.

The skinny horse quickly grew stronger, but the owner was still so thin.

On this day, Chen Ping'an led his horse along a dirt road, passing by an endless field of rape flowers.

Chen Ping'an stopped, and the horse also stopped its hooves almost at the same time.

Chen Ping'an sat on the ridge of the field, and the horses wandered beside him.

Chen Ping'an scratched his head, took off the sword cultivation gourd, took a sip of wine, and then held the sword cultivation gourd, "Mr. Qi, you are really gone, I thought I could see you again." ”

Chen Ping'an laughed.

It's okay, seeing that he looks so bleak, he can't even be Mr. Qi's little junior brother, right?

————

There was once a snowy night on a mountain cliff plank road.

After a white lord separated from the boy with his maidservant, he cut off one of the maidservants' tails.

On the plank road, a middle-aged Confucian with pale temples appeared, smiling and waiting.

At that time, Master Bai smiled, "Okay, I have the heart to look for you, you don't show up, you don't have hope, you came by yourself." ”

The big fox demon who looked like a woman in palace clothes trembled, took the initiative to stay away from the two of them, and opened a long distance.

Before separating from Bai Ze, the green-shirted Confucian gently handed a ball of water balls formed by the condensed essence of water transport to Bai Ze, and said with a smile: "In a few years, it may be two or three years, it may be four or five years, and I don't dare to assert the specific time now, so I will take a look at it if I have anything to do, and after reading it, I will make a decision again." ”

Bai Ze was slightly puzzled, but still nodded and agreed, and took the gadget.

Because this Confucian is Qi Jingchun.

When he arrived at the Middle Earth Divine Continent, on the bank of the big river near the White Emperor City, Bai Ze said to the great sacrificial wine of the Rite Book Palace, "I want to take another look." ”

On that lonely island.

After seeing Zhao Miao leave.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar handed the most proud scholar in the world, a bowl of water, and said with a smile: "Sir is extremely disappointed in the world, then I have to make a bet with Mr. ”

The scholar smiled and said, "Others can't, make a bet with you Qi Jingchun, it's okay." ”

Therefore, the scholar, after Qi Jingchun left, he didn't see the great sacrificial wine of the Yasheng lineage.

He's going to have to wait and see.

In the end, the last meeting and the last parting on the side of Caiyi Country.

Qi Jingchun smiled at a teenager and said, "Accompany you to punch one last time."

The teenager punched.

Qi Jingchun was on the side, punching leisurely, and said slowly in his heart: "Little junior brother, it's hard work." I'm sorry that I personally put such a big burden on your shoulders. ”

At that moment, the teenager just punched sadly.

didn't know that Mr. Qi, who he respected the most, burst into tears and was full of guilt.

————

In the spring of this year.
