After Liu Xianyang and Chen Ping'an walked out of Mud Bottle Alley, they found two groups of people standing on the left and right, the little girl riding on the neck of the burly old man, and the proud boy in a bright red robe standing next to the graceful woman. When Liu Xianyang walked through it, he was calm and calm, and in the eyes of the white-haired old man, he could be regarded as a bit of a general's demeanor, and the cautious and restrained that the straw sandals boy tried his best to hide was quite unpopular.

After Lu Zhengchun said goodbye to the two, he stayed where he was trembling and cautiously reported: "Liu Xianyang suggested that the immortal masters give a suitable price, and next time he will reluctantly cut his love and sell the family heirloom." ”

The woman looked at the white-haired old man on Zhengyang Mountain and asked with a smile, "What does the ape senior think?"

The old man thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's not more than three, before that, according to what Liu Xianyang said, give him a monstrous wealth is that Zhengyang Mountain can give this young man the identity of a true disciple of the mountain gate, in addition, I will also borrow him a magic weapon privately for a hundred years." As for your Xu family in Qingfeng City, you can do it yourself. ”

The woman was shocked and said: "The true identity of Zhengyang Mountain is already extremely noble, and the ape predecessor even wants to take out a magic weapon? Could it be that this young man surnamed Liu is still a cultivation genius who was leaked by the porcelain buyer when he was nine years old?"

The old man turned a deaf ear, and just smiled at the little master: "There are many shops in the town, each with its own origin, the young lady can go shopping, maybe she can pick up the leak." ”

The little girl shouted childlike "drive, drive", and the old man, who was the chief worshipper of Zhengyang Mountain, laughed and jogged, moving like a mountain.

The boy smiled and said, "Zhengyang Mountain is really majestic!"

The woman motioned to Lu Zhengchun to go back to her house first, and she took her son to walk on the street casually, explaining to him the origin, "In addition to the ordinary main mountaineering road, Zhengyang Mountain also has a special 'sword path', which has been inherited so far and has opened up six roads to the top, which means that there have been six genuine Dao Sword Immortals in Zhengyang Mountain. ”

The boy sneered and said, "What's the use of the old yellow calendar, how many years can you eat the old instinct?"

The woman took the child's hand and said with a smile: "Then do you know that in the past hundred years, there have been two brand-new sword paths that are about to reach the top of Zhengyang Mountain? That little girl of the same age as you, what is surprising is that she can advance and retreat freely on that 'sword top', and stay for a long time, even compared to several ancestors of Zhengyang Mountain." ”

The boy was stunned, then stopped, and said with great annoyance: "Since that stupid girl has such a good background, why didn't you tell me earlier, mother, I wouldn't have confronted her along the way, and if she had nothing to do, she would contradict me, if I let me marry her as a daughter-in-law in a few years, and then form a Taoist couple in the future, wouldn't it be a great benefit to our Qingfeng City?!"

The woman looked at the beautiful face that was still childish, angry, like a young tiger, she didn't get angry but laughed, "You and that little girl are both cultivation giants who are expected to ascend to the 'Upper Five Realms', so your marriage line will be more complex and changeable, and if you go your own way and do it deliberately, it will not be beautiful." Do you really think that girl now just hates you with all her heart?"

The boy frowned and said, "Otherwise?"

The woman said softly, "Let it be." ”

The boy suddenly said seriously: "Mother, I don't like the guy who follows Liu Xianyang. At first sight, I didn't like it!"

The woman asked curiously, "Why is that?"

The child thought for a moment and replied: "This guy is a little strange, he is different from Lu Zhengchun, who understands everything, and Liu Xianyang, who doesn't understand anything. Also, I hate his eyes!"

The woman only thought that her son was a child again, so she persuaded: "In the town, you can't do whatever you want, but you have to think about it, after everyone here collapses, you will feel much more comfortable." ”

The child nodded, and subconsciously repeated the two words when he first saw the straw sandals boy, "Mole ant!"

————

Out of the town, Chen Ping'an and Liu Xianyang soon saw the covered bridge, Liu Xianyang asked casually: "You said that Song Jixin is his old man, why do you want to build this covered bridge......?

In the end, the tall boy was amused by himself.

At this end of the covered bridge, a gold-lettered plaque is hung, which is a four-character plaque that I don't know from anyone's handwriting, and the words are very large, "the wind and water rise." ”

When the two teenagers walked up the steps, Liu Xianyang stomped a few feet and said mysteriously: "Old man Yao once told me that there was something strange under this step, saying that when the covered bridge was just built, late one night, Song Jixin and his father ordered someone to dig a big pit here and bury a large porcelain jar of human height. Are you afraid?"

Chen Ping'an said angrily: "What is there to be afraid of." ”

The two walked into the shady covered bridge, and Liu Xianyang said in a low voice: "Do you say that it is because of the deep pool under the bridge, it is better than a few people to drown, and you need to invite monks and Taoists to suppress evil spirits?"

Chen Ping'an never talked about ghosts and gods.

Liu Xianyang couldn't get an answer, so he lost interest.

This newly built wooden covered bridge, now there is still a faint smell of wood and lacquer, the wood of the main beams and pillars, all of them are cut down in the deep mountains and old forests that have been closed for countless years, it is extremely difficult to carry out the mountain, the creek that goes around the mountain is usually not high, far enough to float those huge wood, I have to choose the time of the rainstorm, the mountain road is muddy and slippery, and one will fall into the flood if you are not careful, which can be described as extremely dangerous, fortunately, there was no young and strong people who fell into the water and died, some people say that it was the trip to transport wood out of the mountain, Mr. Qi Jingchun personally went to help, and taught people how to operate by hand, so it was thanks to Mr. Qi's blessing, so everything was safe。

When he arrived at the steps of the covered bridge in the north, Liu Xianyang suddenly sat down and sat on the huge long bluestone, and Chen Ping'an had to squat on the side with him.

Liu Xianyang asked with a smile: "If it weren't for me, would you and Song Jixin become very good friends?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "It may be better, but it's not much better." ”

Liu Xianyang asked curiously: "Why, you two neighbors are about the same age, to be honest, Song Jixin likes to drop the bookcase, and his speech is ugly, but he doesn't seem to have done anything hurtful, you have a good temper, why can't you?"

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, wait until we get to the blacksmith shop, you must not be a fool, whether you can keep your family's treasure armor depends on whether you can become Master Ruan's entry apprentice." ”

"I know, I know, Chen Ping'an, to be honest, you like to talk about your temper, you really have to change it in the future, otherwise you will be annoyed to death. ”

Liu Xianyang fell backwards, rested the back of his head on the top steps of the covered bridge, looked at the blue sky, and said, "You have followed Old Man Yao far and climbed the mountain very high, so how far can you see the scenery?"

Chen Ping'an pulled out a licorice with his hand, dusted off the dust, put it in his mouth and chewed, and said vaguely: "The farthest time, it should be the year before last, I went back and forth with Old Man Yao, it was about ten years, and I bypassed more than ten banned mountains alone, and finally walked to a very strange mountain, so high that it was terrifying, you may not believe it, when you climbed halfway up the mountain, you saw at a glance, it was already full of clouds and mist, and finally I and Old Man Yao finally reached the top of the mountain, and the result was ......"

Liu Xianyang waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the next step, turned his head and smiled: "If you don't like this, you will lift the crotch!"

Chen Ping'an was a little sentimental and said softly: " You also know that the old man Yao has a very bad impression of me, almost never reasoned with me, and did not want to teach me the true ability to burn porcelain, every time he entered the mountain, the old man Yao did not like to talk, often from the mountain to the return to the dragon kiln, together, in fact, there were not a few words, but after that time to the top of the mountain, the old man Yao was probably in a good mood, so he said more, said let me see the scenery over there, just see it, don't talk too much after going down the mountain, you should bury your head in things, just play lip service, even if you go out of the town in the future, it will be a shame. ”

Liu Xianyang comforted: "It's not that I say good things to Old Man Yao, he doesn't like you, but he doesn't hate you, he has that stinky temper to everyone, so it's a little better on my side." ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "So in fact, from the bottom of my heart, I have always been very grateful to Old Man Yao." ”

Liu Xianyang suddenly said angrily: "It's so much, you haven't said what you see!"

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, "The mountain we climbed is already very high, but when I look at the top of the mountain, there is a mountain in the easternmost part, even higher, I can't tell how high it is." ”

Liu Xianyang scolded and said: "Isn't it just to see a high mountain, I fucking thought you saw a fairy flying through the clouds!"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, and said with longing: "Maybe there are really immortals on that mountain?"

Liu Xianyang asked with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, do you think the immortals also need to eat, drink, and Lasa?"

Chen Ping'an rubbed his chin, "If the gods want to, it's not like it." ”

Liu Xianyang slapped Chen Ping'an on the head, then stood up and ran, "This isn't a fairy who on top of your head!"

Liu Xianyang's attack was not light or heavy, this time Chen Ping'an was a little dizzy, and he didn't think about chasing and killing the tall boy, and after getting up, he said to himself: "Thunder, are the immortals sleeping and snoring?" If it rains, it shouldn't be the gods peeing, then we are too miserable......

Chen Ping'an quickened his pace and soon caught up with Liu Xianyang.

After making a fuss, I finally came to the blacksmith shop by the stream, and seven or eight yellow mud houses and huts had been built, in Chen Ping'an's eyes, these were a lot of copper coins.

There are also a large number of small town teenagers and young men who are digging wells, and most of their peers are apprentices from dragon kilns like Liu Xianyang, and after losing the porcelain rice bowl rewarded by the emperor, it is already very lucky to be able to continue to mix an iron rice bowl in the blacksmith shop. However, according to Liu Xianyang, most of these helpers are temporary handy-time workers, and Master Ruan said that he only accepts a few disciples at most, and the rest become long-term workers at most.

Liu Xianyang waved his hand and said: "You wait here, I'll go and say hello to Master Ruan, and see if I can show you the scene of striking iron, tsk, if you see his daughter beating iron, I promise to scare you to death!"

Chen Ping'an stood in place and did not move around at will.

Looking around, there are already seven rudimentary wells, and there are still wheels and fences at the wellheads, and some wellheads are constantly drilled out with dustpans on their heads.

Looking at the busy people who were digging wells, Chen Ping'an habitually squatted down, pinched up a handful of soil, and slowly rubbed it on his fingertips.

It feels more moist, but it is not actually water-based soil, on the contrary, but igneous soil, but it belongs to the last kind of igneous soil, according to Yao Laotou, this is called "July flow fire soil", the soil will turn into warm and cool by itself, not too dry, plastic, and this means that when the well wall is reinforced, it is not easy to collapse, which is a good thing.

Obviously, Master Nguyen, the blacksmith, was definitely not a layman, if not an expert at digging wells.

It's just that Chen Ping'an doesn't quite understand what to do with so many wells in such a big place.

Chen Ping'an turned his head to look in the direction of the creek and grinned.

Now this nameless stream, in the eyes of the straw sandals boy, is a treasure trove of gold, silver and copper coins.

It's just that after touching the snake gallstone tonight, Chen Ping'an wants to secretly go to Mud Bottle Alley, and dig under the big water tank in his house according to Gu Cang's whisper before he left the town. Gu Cang walked away with a burning butt at that time, and he didn't say anything, only said that it was his family's treasure, and even his mother didn't know that he was hiding things there.

Chen Ping'an wanted to laugh when he thought of that slug.

In the past, Chen Ping'an was Liu Xianyang's follower behind his buttocks, and followed Liu Xianyang to catch fish, catch snakes, and dig birds' nests.

For the helpless straw sandals boy, one is his older brother and the other is his younger brother.

One needs him to repay the favor, and the other needs him to take care of it.

So after so many years, Chen Ping'an has lived a very hard life, but he is not bitter.
