Volume 1 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 42 Genius

There are more and more fresh faces from other towns in the town, and the business of inns and restaurants is booming.

At the same time, on the side of Fulu Street and Taoye Lane, many young children of this generation in high-ranking families began to quietly leave the town, most of them were smart and handsome young people, and there were also unknown children of partial houses, or loyal children, and the son of the family Zhao Miao was among them. As for Gu Cang, the child in Mud Bottle Lane, he was caught by Liu Zhimao, the true monarch of the Intercepted River, and it was an exception.

Chen Ping'an went to Liu Xianyang's house to get a basket of fish baskets, left the town and went to the creek, when there were many people, Chen Ping'an of course would not practice the pile-shaking pile, out of the town, there was no one around, Chen Ping'an began to recite the mantra silently, recalling the steps, posture and momentum of Miss Ning when she walked the pile, and she didn't want to miss every detail, and walked out of the six steps over and over again.

Chen Ping'an was in the house of Mud Bottle Lane at the time, when he imitated Ning Yao for the first time, he was so clumsy and funny, compared to ordinary people, in fact, the cognition of young people and girls, there was a misunderstanding that made a ghost, Chen Ping'an always knew that he had a problem, and he found that he had an eye disease from the beginning of the porcelain kiln, but his hands were slow, to be precise, it was due to the eyes of the young man. The eyesight is too brilliant, resulting in the hands and feet not being able to keep up at all, which means that if someone else imitates Ning Yao's walking pile, there may be three or four points similar to it the first time, rough and lame, but it is not like Chen Ping'an who is one or two points similar, this is precisely because Chen Ping'an sees it too clearly and is too harsh on every link, so it is too much, and after the hands and feet can't keep up, it looks particularly ridiculous, and under the nine points of dislike, there is a rare and valuable god like.

These Ning Yao didn't know that imitating her, the Heavenly Sword Immortal embryo, even if it was a nine-point shape, it was not comparable to a god.

Of course, having said that, Mo said that she only looked like Ning Yao, even if she had seven or eight points, Ning Yao would not feel how amazing she was.

What Ning Yao saw in his eyes, as far as he could see, was only the inaccessible martial arts in the distance, and the people standing side by side, the top of the few sword paths.

Chen Ping'an sat on the steps under the plaque of the covered bridge to rest, and the young man roughly calculated, twelve hours a day, even if he insisted on five to six hours a day, repeating the practice of walking piles, it would only be about 300 times to die, 100,000 a year, and ten years to complete a million tasks. The straw sandals boy turned his head to look at the crystal clear water and muttered, "Let me hold on for ten years, it should be possible, right?"

Although Chen Ping'an did not show any unusual emotions during these days, the revelation of the heavenly opportunity before Lu Daochang's departure broke the vicious methods of Cai Jinjian of Yunxia Mountain one by one, which still made the young man feel heavy. There is one thing that Chen Ping'an never mentioned to Lu Daochang and Miss Ning, that is, after Cai Jinjian poked his eyebrows and slapped his heart, the young man was in the mud bottle alley at that time, and he had already vaguely felt that something was wrong with his body, so he stayed at the gate of his yard for so long, in order to make up his mind, it was a big deal to break the jar, and he had to fight hard with Cai Jinjian.

After all, Chen Ping'an at that time, according to the young Taoist Lu Shen, was too lifeless, not at all like a young man who should have been vigorous, Chen Ping'an looked at life and death more lightly than most people at that time.

Cai Jinjian used martial arts means to "instruct" and let the straw sandals boy forcibly open his mind, so that Chen Ping'an's body was like a house without a courtyard gate, and he could indeed move in and absorb more objects, but every time there was snow, snow and rain, the house would collapse extremely severely and quickly. That's why Lu Shen will assert that if there are no exceptions, if there is no serious illness and disaster, Chen Ping'an can only live to be thirty or forty years old.

After the city gate collapsed, Cai Jinjian almost blocked the normal operation of this pass, which not only cut off Chen Ping'an's cultivation avenue, but also accelerated the speed of Chen Ping'an's body decay.

Cai Jinjian's two hands, the real terrible thing is that after the door is opened, on the one hand, Chen Ping'an has been unable to practice the method of immortality, which means that he cannot make up for the portal with magic powers, and he cannot cultivate the solid yuan, on the other hand, even if the young man is lucky enough to enter the hall in the martial arts, he can indeed rely on tempering his physique to strengthen his body, but for Chen Ping'an, the huge risk will always be accompanied by opportunities.

It is imperative that Chen Ping'an needs a martial art that can flow through the water and nourish the vitality, whether this martial arts is powerful and domineering, and whether it makes the realm of martial arts a thousand miles in a day, but it does not matter.

Chen Ping'an's hopes are all in the "Shaking the Mountain" that Ning Yao can't look at, for example, she said that after taking the pile, there is a standing pile "Sword Furnace" and a sleeping pile "Qianqiu".

But Chen Ping'an didn't dare to practice indiscriminately, he just glanced at it a few times, and he couldn't help but look at it, he felt that he should still let Miss Ning identify it, confirm that it was correct, and then start practicing.

As long as you are on the right path, no matter how bad your understanding is, as long as you are diligent and tenacious enough, you will make progress every day. Walking in the wrong direction, the smarter and harder you are, the more you will do and the more wrong you will be.

These words were said by Liu Xianyang, of course, his focus was on the last sentence, "You Chen Ping'an is the first kind of person, the clever ghost of Song Xiaofuzi is the second type, only I, Liu Xianyang, am the kind of real genius who is smart and takes the right path." ”

At that time, when Liu Xianyang boasted about himself, he was accidentally heard by the old man Yao who was passing by, and the old man who had always been a proud disciple of Liu Xianyang and regarded him as a proud disciple, I don't know which sentence of the young man hit the old man's sadness, and the old man Yao was furious for the first time, and chasing Liu Xianyang was a violent beating. Anyway, after that, Liu Xianyang never said the word "genius" again.

Chen Ping'an exhaled heavily, stood up, walked up the high steps, and entered the corridor of the covered bridge, only to find that a group of people gathered in the distance, four or five people, standing or standing, as if guarding one of the women, Chen Ping'an only saw the woman's sideways, only to see her sitting on the railing of the covered bridge, her feet naturally hanging on the surface of the stream, closing her eyes to recuperate, her hands and five fingers in a strange posture, fingers wrapped or bent.

gave Chen Ping'an the feeling that she was obviously closing her eyes, but she seemed to be looking at something with her heart.

Chen Ping'an hesitated, didn't continue to move forward, turned around and walked down the steps, planning to wade across the stream, and then go to Liu Xianyang, today he carried two baskets, one large and one small, to return the slightly smaller basket to Master Ruan's blacksmith shop, after all, it was borrowed by Liu Xianyang from someone.

In the distance of the covered bridge, after seeing the shabby-looking straw sandals boy turning around, they looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak, for fear of breaking the mysterious "water view" mood of the "same year" woman.

There is no doubt that the root of this Dharma originated from Buddhism. It was only later adopted, selected, fused, and refined by many cultivation sects, and many paths branched off on the last path.

It's just that Dongbao Aquarius has always been regarded as the place where Buddhism ends, and after several catastrophes that have affected the territory of Banzhou, Buddhism has gradually declined in the past thousand years, and its reputation is far less than that of Confucianism and Taoism in the three religions.

"I only hear about the true monarch and the heavenly master, but I don't know the protector and the great virtue", which is the real situation of Dongbao Aquarius today.

However, there are indeed countless immortal sects that have benefited from Buddhism.

Chen Ping'an rolled up his trousers and waded through the water, went to the opposite bank, and suddenly heard exclamations and angry reprimands from the side of the covered bridge, thought about it, and did not mix.

When he arrived at Master Ruan's blacksmith shop, it was still a hot scene, Chen Ping'an didn't wander around, stood next to a well, and asked someone to help inform Liu Xianyang.

I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but I didn't think that Liu Xianyang would come soon, pulled him and walked to the stream, lowered his voice and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come!"

Chen Ping'an wondered: "Master Ruan urged you to return the basket?"

The tall young man rolled his eyes and said: "What is a broken basket worth, I have important things to say to you." After you pick up the stones and return to my yard, wait for the lady to find you, that is, the woman whose son is dressed in red, the mother and son we met at the mouth of Mud Bottle Alley last time, after she comes to the door, you don't say anything, just hand over the big box to her, she will give you a bag of money, you remember to count it in person, twenty-five copper coins, but there is no one missing!"

Chen Ping'an was shocked and said: "Liu Xianyang, are you crazy?!Why do you want to sell to outsiders?!"

Liu Xianyang hugged the neck of the straw sandals boy vigorously, glared and said: "You know a fart, a great future is in front of Lao Tzu, why did you miss it in vain?"

Chen Ping'an's face was full of suspicion, not believing that this was Liu Xianyang's original intention.

Liu Xianyang sighed and whispered: "That lady wants to buy my family's ancestral treasure armor, and the other pair of master and servant wants a sword scripture, my grandfather told me before he died, when there is really no way, the treasure armor can be sold, of course, it is not allowed to be sold cheaply, but that sword scripture, even if it is death, it must not be admitted in our old Liu family." I promised to sell the treasure armor to the lady, in addition to negotiating the price, I also asked her to agree to a condition, after she got the treasure armor, she also had to persuade the burly old man at first glance, don't trouble me in the near future, it's just a procrastination, and when I become Master Ruan's apprentice, these things will not matter. ”

Chen Ping'an asked bluntly: "Why don't you drag that lady along? Could it be that she can still come to the blacksmith shop to trouble you? Besides, she can't break into the door and snatch your family's treasure armor." ”

Liu Xianyang let go of his hand, squatted by the stream, touched a stone and threw it into the stream, pouted: "Anyway, it's not that Baojia can't be sold, now that there is a fair price, it's not good, and it can make things more secure, maybe you don't need Miss Ning to take the risk, so I don't think it's bad." ”

Chen Ping'an also squatted down, and said in a hurry: "How do you know that the price she gives now is very fair? If you regret it in the future, what should you do?"

The tall young man turned his head and grinned: "Regret? Think about it, we have known each other for so many years, when did I, Liu Xianyang, do anything I regret?"

Chen Ping'an scratched his head, always feeling that something was wrong, but the young man was clumsy, and he really didn't know how to convince Liu Xianyang.

Liu Xianyang has always lived very freely in his life, and he never seems to have stumped his hurdles, and there has never been a knot in his heart that cannot be untied and things that cannot be done.

Liu Xianyang stood up and kicked the basket behind the straw sandals boy, "Hurry up, I'll take it and return it to Master Ruan, and when I return to wait for me to officially apprentice to the tea, you can come and have a long experience." ”

Chen Ping'an got up slowly, and stopped talking, Liu Xianyang scolded with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, your uncle, am I selling your heirloom? or your daughter-in-law?"

When Chen Ping'an handed him the basket, he asked tentatively, "Don't think about it anymore?"

Liu Xianyang took the basket, took a few steps back, jumped high without warning, and came with a fancy roundhouse kick.

After landing calmly, Liu Xianyang was triumphant and asked with a smile: "Amazing, right?

Chen Ping'an replied angrily to your uncle.

After staying away from the Ruan family's shop, Chen Ping'an, who was very thoughtful, went into the water to pick up stones, I don't know the reason for his restlessness, or the relationship between the decline of the stream, today's harvest is not big, until Chen Ping'an is close to the covered bridge, only more than 20 snake gallstones are fished, and none of them can make people's eyes shine, love at first sight.

Chen Ping'an took off the basket of fish, put them in the grass by the stream, took a deep breath, turned around in the stream, and began to practice walking piles.

After a trip back and forth, Chen Ping'an's heart tightened, and he saw a short boy squatting in the place where the basket of fish was hidden, with a green fluffy dog's tail grass in his mouth.

It is the grandson of Granny Ma in Xinghua Lane, who has been regarded as a fool since he was a child, and Granny Ma has a really bad impression in the hearts of Chen Ping'an's generation of teenagers, stingy and mean, and her baby grandson is used as a punching bag?

This silly boy whose real name is Ma Kuxuan has long been remembered, has always been very strange and bullied, but he never took the initiative to complain to Granny Ma, nor did he cry or wagging his tail and begging for mercy, he always had a very plain face and indifferent eyes. Therefore, the children on the other side of Xinghua Lane don't like to play with this little fool, Ma Kuxuan learned to play with himself very early, and he likes to watch the clouds on the dirt slope or rooftop.

Chen Ping'an has never bullied Ma Kuxuan, nor has he ever pitied this peer, let alone thought that two guys with the same disease would try to huddle together to keep warm.

Because Chen Ping'an always felt that people like Ma Kuxuan were not stupid, but they were very similar to Song Jixin in their bones, and even surpassed them.

They didn't seem to speak, but they seemed to be waiting, as if they were silently saying that God owes me a lot, and sooner or later I will get it all back. If you owe me a copper coin, Song Jixin may want God to obediently return a tael of silver, Ma Kuxuan, or even a tael of gold!

Chen Ping'an didn't think they were so bad, but he didn't like it.

That young man was no longer like the fool before, he spoke clearly, and asked with a smile: "You are Chen Ping'an from Mud Bottle Lane, don't you live next door to Zhigui?"

Chen Ping'an nodded, "Is there something wrong?"

The young man smiled, pointed to Chen Ping'an's basket, and reminded: "Maybe you haven't noticed that the stream has dropped a lot, and the good stones are only left in the deep pool under the covered bridge, and the puddle on the back of the green ox, and the two places are not good, just like the one in your basket, you can't keep that breath, the stone will change soon, some are lucky, and they will die to make a good whetstone, and some can become an inkstone for readers, and in the end, these things are still good things, and it is definitely not difficult to sell them at a high price, but ...... Forget it, you may not understand it. ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and didn't say anything.

The short boy suddenly said, "You just practiced boxing in the creek?"

Chen Ping'an still didn't speak.

Ma Kuxuan's eyes were shining, and he laughed: "It turns out that you are not stupid, yes, you are similar to me, you are a person all the way." ”

Chen Ping'an bypassed the young man, said I will go first, and then carried the basket and went ashore.

The young man squatted in the distance, spit out the chewed dog tail grass in his mouth, shook his head and whispered: "Boxing is not good, there are many mistakes, no matter how much you practice, you can't practice the flowers." ”

Ma Kuxuan didn't turn his head, "Have you retrieved our soldiers' tokens?"

A man behind him smiled and said, "In the future, remember to call Master first." ”

The young man ignored it, got up and turned his head and asked, "Can you show me that little sword mound?"

It was the Soldier Grandmaster who carried the sword and hung the Tiger Talisman, claiming to be from Zhenwu Mountain, and he once threatened to fight with the little uncle in the division where the golden boy and jade girl were located.

The man shook his head and said, "It's not yet time." ”

Then he was a little annoyed, "Why do you want to deliberately spoil that woman's water view state of mind, do you know this kind of thing, once you do it, you will be the enemy of life and death for a lifetime!"

The young man said with an indifferent face: "The avenue is hard, if you can't even withstand this little hardship, you dare to hope for that high immortal life?"

The man smiled angrily: "You dare to speak out before you even enter the door, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue?!"

The young man finally grinned, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "In the future, when I encounter this kind of opportunity to break through the realm on the path of cultivation, I will take the initiative to inform the woman, and when the time comes, Master, you are not allowed to interfere, let her come to harm my good deeds." ”

The man sighed: "Do you know that the fate of the world is divided into size, the fortune is thick and thin, and the roots and bones are high and low, if you measure everyone by your own reason in everything, one day you will meet people with bigger fists, deeper cultivation, and higher realms, and when people are in a bad mood, they will interrupt your bridge of eternal life with a punch, how do you deal with yourself?"

The young man smiled and said, "Then I'll accept my fate!"

The man laughed at himself: "In the future, I will never reason with you as a teacher again, and play the piano to the cow." ”

The boy suddenly asked, "How does that guy from Mud Bottle Lane know the beauty of the stones in the water?

The man's expression suddenly became stern, "Ma Kuxuan, no matter what kind of character you have as a teacher, but there is one thing you must keep in mind, our soldiers are authentic sword cultivators! Cultivate a sword to break ten thousand laws, cultivate a sword to follow your heart, and cultivate a sword to seek invincibility, but it is absolutely not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately, not to bully the laity, and not to be above the way of the sword in the future, because of jealousy of others, you will deliberately stumble on the people in the same way!"

The young man stretched, "Master, you think too much, no matter how powerful that guy in Mud Bottle Lane is, as long as he doesn't provoke me, it has nothing to do with me, in the end, no matter how high the achievements of these people in the town are, they will be nothing more than a stepping stone for me in the future, jealous? ”

The man said helplessly: "It really doesn't make sense, I estimate that Zhenwu Mountain will not stop in the future." ”

The young man asked curiously, "What are you in the first place in Zhenwu Mountain?"

The man smiled, "If you don't say this, it will hurt your face." ”

The young man rolled his eyes and said, "I knew earlier and apprenticed later." ”

The man laughed.

He didn't make it clear to his apprentices that there are many kinds of geniuses in the world, and so are talents.

The straw sandals boy before, who seemed to be a plain six-step pile, was actually walking with fist intent all over his body.
