Volume 1 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 63 I see

At that time, on the small street, the rain gradually stopped, Ning Yao turned her head to look at Chen Ping'an, who had a steady breath and a calm demeanor, although she didn't like Old Man Yang in her heart, but she had to admit that the old man was a real master of the world.

"Old man Yang is not a simple person. ”

Ning Yao paused for a moment and turned his head to look, the inconspicuous Yang family shop, the light rain on the heavenly street was as moist as a crisp, and the pharmacy after the rain had a soft outline and hazy water vapor, and the girl had made some slight modifications by herself: "Old man Yang, it's not simple." ”

Chen Ping'an didn't hear the difference between the two, just snorted and said with a smile: "I used to think that Grandpa Yang was very good and fair, but now I know that Grandpa Yang is deeply hidden, Miss Ning, he should also be regarded as a cultivator, right?"

Ning Yao said something that Chen Ping'an couldn't understand, "It's a little similar, but it's actually different, but for you, it's no different." ”

Now at the southern end of the covered bridge, Chen Ping'an, who is immortal, looks back at the girl in Tsing Yi and looks back at the young man's state of mind.

When she heard the footsteps, she stood up with a shy smile, and saw the straw sandals boy and the green-robed girl standing side by side, the girl with a ponytail, and she was slightly cramped and uneasy. Chen Ping'an didn't dare to treat the girl named Ruan Xiu in front of him as an ordinary girl, of course, the most impressive image of the girl was still the four words of sitting and eating empty mountains.

Ruan Xiu glanced at Ning Yao, who looked indifferent and domineering, and she didn't dare to say hello.

Ning Yao glanced at the delicate girl who was petite and delicate but easy to raise, and was reluctant to say hello.

The three of them walked down the steps of the covered bridge together, and Chen Ping'an said softly: "I heard Mr. Qi say that Liu Xianyang is fine." ”

Ruan Xiu nodded vigorously and said: "Wake up, wake up, after the shopkeeper of the Yang family's shop saw it, he said that it was Lord Yan who was kind and let Liu Xianyang go, so that he could pick up this life." The old shopkeeper also said that as long as he woke up, it would be no big deal. I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I wanted to tell you as soon as possible, but my father wouldn't let me walk across the bridge......"

The girl chattered, like a chirping yellow finch on the branches, and in the end, she was a little apologetic.

The girl actually had some things not to say, after Liu Xianyang woke up, she rushed out of the door as soon as possible, and after coming to the covered bridge, she patronized and told the young man the news, and she simply forgot her father's advice that she was not allowed to enter the town, but she was just about to run down the covered bridge from the north end of the steps, and was pulled back by her elusive father.

This is not the beginning of love, or the love of children, but the kindness that arises spontaneously.

Of course, the premise is that Chen Ping'an, this guy, did not make the girl feel annoying, on the contrary, there are some good feelings, or recognition of Chen Ping'an.

All this is the first time the two of them have seen each other, the young man is willing to go into the water to fish for others, and afterwards the wound on his left hand hurts so much that he doesn't feel sorry, and then Liu Xianyang suffers an accident, and the young man is willing to stand up and take on the things that should be taken care of, Chen Ping'an's own accumulated blessings, bit by bit.

All this is the persistence of the young Chen Ping'an for a long time, but he happened to be bumped into by the girl Ruan Xiu, in fact, Chen Ping'an missed, of course, more, such as the golden carp in the fish basket, the loach given to Gu Cang, and the four-legged snake, those locust leaves that fell in front of the young man's eyes, etc., all these missed lucky chances will never be caught by the young man because Chen Ping'an is a person who cherishes blessings.

Chen Ping'an, Ning Yao and Ruan Xiu walked down the covered bridge, and the teenagers and girls didn't realize that the droplets of water of different heights quietly fell into the stream.

The water droplets were either originally embellished under the eaves of the covered bridge, or gathered on the railing of the covered bridge, or in the potholes on the outer edge of the aisle of the covered bridge.

Eventually they all fall into the creek and merge into the stream.

At the same time, the backyard of the Yang family's shop, which has a lot of water and a small pond, ripples and bursts, regaining its turbid and muddy appearance, just like all the backyards in the world, above the water surface, there is a fuzzy figure covered in smoke, vaguely visible, a hunchbacked old woman with an unclear face.

Old man Yang was not surprised by this, smoked a dry cigarette again, and asked, "What do you see?"

The figure was like a water weed, swaying involuntarily "with the water", and said hoarsely: "That little girl, after all, is the only daughter of our next saint here, how noble is her identity, why do you fall in love with the young man in the alley?"

Old man Yang sneered, "That's it?"

The old woman on the water trembled and didn't dare to speak again.

The old man said slowly: "Now that you have come to this point, there are some rules that you should make clear to you, so as not to die in the future, and you don't know what's going on, and you still feel wronged." ”

The old man seemed to be brewing a heavenly opportunity, and did not rush to speak.

After the rain stopped, the stagnant water in the courtyard gradually dived, and the figure of the old woman became more and more blurred, and she said pitifully: "Daxian, I just want to see my grandson a few more times." ”

Old man Yang, who was interrupted from his thoughts, was a little impatient: "What do you think, it's your business, I'm too lazy to care about this." ”

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were a little dazed, and he said to himself: "Count yourself lucky, if you fall into the hands of the three sects, you will have two words about whether you have an afterlife, where will you be now." Buddhism has the saying of subduing the heart ape and the horse, the two things of thinking and vows, are very important, Confucianism is better, and the management is not so broad, but the bitter mouth and the heart of the teaching, admonishing the disciples and grandchildren, must be cautious and independent, which means that don't be duplicitous. As for Taoism, the importance of 'how to think' has been elevated, and they do not hesitate to regard the demons as the great enemy of cultivation, which is more stringent than Buddhism, so as soon as many people take a fork in the road, there are many so-called side doors. Because of the purity pursued by Taoism, it attaches great importance to asking oneself, and once one of the questions left by the Taoist ancestor stops asking oneself, it will be like a numb heart......"

The old man smoking dry cigarettes is like a hidden dragon in the sea of clouds, and the old woman listens even more like falling clouds, after all, she is a native of this place, and she has never read a book, so she naturally can't understand these mysterious and mysterious knowledge, she can only memorize by rote.

Old man Yang suddenly smiled and said, "You don't have to remember this, because we don't care about this." ”

The old woman froze.

Old man Yang repeated, "We don't care what you think, we just see what you do." ”

The old woman said worriedly: "Daxian, I remember." ”

Old man Yang tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Since you are a river woman, you have to be responsible for all the affairs of the river, not only to accumulate yin virtue for yourself, but also to win the incense of the people of water and soil for yourself." If you can let people build an ancestral temple for you, shape a golden body, and make a wisp of doppelganger stand in it, that is your ability, after that, you must strive to let the imperial court accommodate you, among the orthodox genealogy of the mountains and rivers in a country, and get an officially recognized identity, if you can't do it, at least be recorded in the local county annals. If the ancestral temple dedicated to you is finally treated as an obscene temple, and the government is ordered to eradicate it, and the golden body is torn down, then your life will be difficult, and it will be more uncomfortable than a lonely ghost. ”

The old woman plucked up her courage and asked: "Daxian, as you said before, we will all ban it here, so what can I, a little river woman, do except to live with light? Daxian you said about the ancestral temple incense, mountains and rivers spectrum or something, and the local county chronicles......

Old man Yang said: "This is before, it will be difficult to say in the future, in the future, here, it will be downgraded from a small cave to a small blessed land without a threshold, anyone can come here, and there is no need to pay those three bags of copper coins." This is also the root of why Emperor Dali was so unscrupulous, some things were done sixty years earlier, or sixty years later, the result would be completely different. ”

The old woman gritted her teeth and asked, "Daxian, is the reason why you are willing to shelter me because of my grandson?"

Old man Yang nodded, and did not hide his original intention.

The old woman asked again, "In that case, why did the Great Immortal let the Zhenwu Mountain soldiers take away my horse Kuxuan? Why don't you cultivate it yourself?"

It turned out that this old woman who was incarnated as a river woman was the Ma Po Ma who was slapped to death by someone else.

Old man Yang lightly knocked the cigarette stick, and the figure on the water formed by the condensation of the old woman's soul suddenly twisted and wailed.

This pain without warning, like an ordinary man, suddenly suffered heart-wrenching pain, how can the old woman bear it?

Old man Yang said indifferently: "Although in my eyes, there is no difference between good and bad, there is no difference between good and evil, and not using this to measure yin virtue does not mean that I like what you do." I didn't care about anything with you before, but even if I wipe you out in the future, it's just a thought, so don't make an inch. ”

The old woman knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Daxian, I don't dare!"

Zhenwu Mountain Sword Cultivation cost a huge price, and the true god surnamed Yin was invited, in the face of the rude questioning of the young man Ma Kuxuan, even the soldier sword cultivator felt palpitations at that time, for fear of provoking thunder and anger, why in the end, the true god surnamed Yin replied to the young man seriously?

This is not a question and answer between man and God at all.

It's just that this is unusual, I'm afraid that even the sword cultivator whose status is already transcendent doesn't know what to do, and it is only regarded as the true god's own rules and considerations that are unknown to others, but the old man in the small courtyard knows it.

That young man is the destiny of heaven.

is not inferior to the servant girl childish.

Wang Zhu, Wang Zhu.

Together, they are beads.

A real dragon, what is the most precious?

Bead!

Why did she choose to cling to Song Jixin, the prince of Dali?

The emperors of the world have always liked to regard themselves as true dragons, and one person's luck can be linked to the dynasty and the country, and it is obvious that the two are strong and complement each other.

But having said that, when it comes to cultivation, the road is long, luck, talent, roots, chance, and temperament are all indispensable, but in the end, on the road of cultivation, there are both step by step and late bloomer, so there is no absolute.

In this generation of the town, in addition to Ma Kuxuan and Zhigui, in fact, Song Jixin, Zhao Xuan, Gu Cang, Ruan Xiu, Liu Xianyang, and those children with their own fate, can be said to be the pride of the sky.

Even if it is the bottomless old man Yang, he doesn't dare to say whose achievements will definitely be higher than whom.

Old man Yang glanced at the stagnant water in the courtyard and said, "Go ahead, you only need to keep an eye on the movement on the other side of the covered bridge for the time being." ”

The old woman said in fear: "Daxian, the side of the covered bridge, especially the deep pool, even I can't get close, as long as I pass a little bit every time, it's like boiling in an oil pot......"

Old man Yang smiled, "You don't need to get close, just keep your eyes on the covered bridge, for example, if something flies out from under the covered bridge in the future, you can see where it goes." ”

The old woman hurriedly took the order and left.

Above the stagnant water in the courtyard, the ethereal figure of the old woman disappeared in an instant.

"Master, Master!"

At the back door of the main hall of the Yang family's shop, Zheng Dafeng laughed and shouted, and hurriedly came to report the good news.

One after the other came to the backyard, and there was wind at the feet of Zheng Dafeng in front, "Senior brother is back, great news!"

Old man Yang looked at the honest man behind Zheng Dafeng, who nodded.

But the man wanted to speak and stopped, full of questions, but he was clumsy and didn't know how to ask.

In the end, the man just said in a sullen voice: "Master, why did you accept Ma Kuxuan as an apprentice instead of that young man? ”

Old man Yang glared and said, "So you took the initiative to grab that golden carp and sell it to Chen Ping'an?!"

The middle-aged man had much backbone compared to Zheng Dafeng, who was bound in front of the old man, and sat on the bench where Chen Ping'an was sitting before, "What's wrong?" Master, don't you really like that kid very much?"

If Chen Ping'an was present, he would definitely be shocked, because the middle-aged man he met selling fish on the street was exactly this person.

Old man Yang laughed angrily: "What happened to the result? The fish basket and the golden carp were sent to Chen Ping'an?

The man was sullen and silent.

Zheng Dafeng fanned the flames on the side, "Senior brother, I didn't say you, I blinded your dragon king basket, who is not good, but I gave it to Da Li's nemesis, the little prince of Da Sui." Be careful, Song Changjing will settle accounts with you in the future. Besides, the fat water doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders, so it's okay to leave it to my nephews and nieces, what, senior brother, you think the baby is hot, it's really not good, give it to me. ”

Old man Yang's gaze was cold, Zheng Dafeng was silent, he didn't dare to say more than half a word, raised his hands, and sat honestly on the steps.

The old man said: "Take Fu Nanhua and go to the Old Dragon City together." ”

Zheng Dafeng's face was full of surprise, and he turned his head to look, only to see the old man's expressionless face of vicissitudes.

The bachelor man who guarded the door of the town, after slowly retracting his gaze, patted his knees, got up with a wry smile, didn't say a word, walked down the steps, and walked to the back door of the shop.

The old man's majestic voice came from behind, "Remember, don't reveal your roots when you die!"

Zheng Dafeng smiled even more, nodded, did not turn around, and quickened his pace.

After walking to the corridor at the back door of the main hall, the man turned around, knelt down and kowtowed his head three times, and said in a deep voice, "Master, take care of your body." ”

From beginning to end, the old man did not say a word.

Zheng Dafeng left the Yang family shop gloomily.

Li Er, the man sitting on the bench, was a little upset for Zheng Dafeng, who was a fellow junior: "Master, you are too ...... to your junior brother."

The old man smiled: "Unkind?"

The man nodded, "Although the junior brother has not been doing anything right, but you are good at the master, to be honest, I can't compare to him." ”

The old man was noncommittal, "Anyway, it's rootless duckweed, and even the weeds on the side of the road can't be compared, where to die is not to die." ”

The man sighed and said, "Senior brother will definitely feel uncomfortable when he leaves the town this time. ”

"Generally speaking, if you want to inherit the same lineage and pass on the torch, you need to have three disciples, one is 'able to be useful', able to light the master's door, after the master's death, he can afford to take the lead and control the field, which is both face and lining. A person who can 'continue the incense', it seems that he is not as good as the former, but he is better than the tough, the sky falls, even if the useful disciple is dead, but this person can ensure that the incense of the master continues, and in the heyday, the effect is not obvious, and it is very important when it comes to the dangerous moment when the court is sluggish. The last one must be 'interesting', with good talent, good roots, good bones, good everything, very interesting, and you don't even have to be grateful to the master and the sect, as a master, you will not talk about the rules with such a disciple in everything, as the saying goes, the apprentice of the church starves the master, and in the end, this apprentice is like this. ”

The man asked curiously: "I, junior brother, and Ma Kuxuan, which one of us are?"

Old man Yang smiled: "After so many years, who said that I only have you three apprentices?"

The man was stunned, and his smile was a little embarrassed, "I forgot about this stubble." ”

Old man Yang smiled and asked, "What about Song Changjing?"

The man thought seriously for a moment, but only two words popped out, "Not bad." ”

Old man Yang smoked dry cigarettes, swallowed clouds and spitted mist, and said in amazement: "That's very powerful." ”

The man said: "Song Changjing promised......"

Without waiting for the apprentice to finish speaking, Old Man Yang stomped his feet, and the world was silent.

The man smiled and said, "Master, what we have done all these years is not hidden, so do we need to care about these?"

Old man Yang said slowly: "Don't even do it, are you going to rebel?"

The man asked rhetorically, "Are there two things?"

Old man Yang looked up at the sky, his gaze passed through the three layers of heaven and earth, and the old man was silent.

The man had a heavy heart and asked, "Master, my two cubs really want to go to that Mountain Cliff Academy?"

Old man Yang, "Since Qi Jingchun is willing to take this in exchange, why don't you go?" Such a good thing, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not encountered in a hundred years. ”

Old man Yang asked, "Why didn't Qi Jingchun give it to Chen Ping'an in one go?"

Old man Yang smiled and said: "Do you think that is to help Chen Ping'an? I don't like that child to die fast enough, do you believe that if you successfully sent out the Dragon King Basket and the Golden Carp at that time, within three days, Chen Ping'an would definitely die somewhere in the town?"

The man was puzzled: "Chen Ping'an was broken by his father before he was six years old, so there was no restraint, although this child can't keep any big chances, but this is both a bad thing and a good thing, he is like a light in the dark room, there are so many moths to fight the fire, during this period, the poor child got the same thing, isn't it a normal thing?"

Old man Yang explained: "As long as it is in a small town, Chen Ping'an will not have any good luck, the opportunity is too great, the child can't afford it, he can't keep it, it's a poor life empty-handed, it is not easy for him to survive." Replace those so-called proud sons of the sky, who will not die seven or eight times. ”

The man grinned and said, "So this is also the reason why Master is willing to help him, Master, what you can give, it just happens to be the only one that Chen Ping'an can catch." ”

Old man Yang hesitated for a moment and spit out a puff of heavy smoke, "Then do you know that you tried to give Chen Ping'an that opportunity, and you almost killed him." The prince and eunuch of the Great Sui, Ning Yao, the criminal assassin, the strange Taoist...... Chen Ping'an almost died on this line. ”

The man frowned.

Old man Yang changed the topic, "In the past, the saints who were in charge of this heaven and earth often took office The first thing they did was to check the four things left by the ancestors, and the second thing was to come to my side and say hello, but even these saints, the vast majority of them, knew what it was, and didn't know why. There are two kinds of people who will not come to my side, the first situation is mostly in the early years, when the Buddhist power of Dongbao Aquarius was prosperous, and there were still many bald donkey monks, this group of people did not dare to come, for fear of cause and effect. In another situation, Qi Jingchun is like this, and the above deliberately did not tell him the truth, hoping that Qi Jingchun and I had a conflict and a big fight. The reason why Qi Jingchun came today was because he figured out the aftertaste by himself, or ......"

The old man's face was solemn, "The possibility of this situation is too small, and the consequences are too great to imagine, I hope not, and ...... Probably not. ”

In the small world, there is no cave.

Qi Jingchun sat on one side, and Old Man Yang seemed to be a feudal town, and there was no sign of sending people under the fence.

Old man Yang sighed with emotion: "A Confucian sage before Mr. Qi Jingchun said, 'The sage did his best to use his eyesight, and thought that the square circle was straight', what does it mean, simply put, you ordinary people, to be grateful for the great kindness of the Holy Master, it is his old man who spent his old strength and exhausted his vision to establish these rules and frameworks, so that future generations can walk in them, and will not suffer disasters and disasters, so that they will have the opportunity to continue to be reincarnated in the next life." ”

The man scratched his head and said, "Master, what are you telling me about this, I don't understand at all, Zheng Dafeng can talk to you." ”

Old man Yang smiled: "If you Li Er can talk, I won't open this mouth." One speaks, one listens, one asks and one answers, just right. ”

Old man Yang stood up and raised his eyes into the distance, "If one day, that child can get out of the town alive and wander outside for decades, he will definitely be surprised, it turns out that the hometown town is so big." ”

The master stood up, and the man had to follow suit, although he couldn't slip around and shoot the horse, but he still understood the rules.

Old man Yang said, "Don't stay here either, take that shrew from your family and go to a place." In Dongbao Aquarius, you have no hope of breaking through the realm in your life. Song Changjing is a cautious eye, and he will be pressed by the realm in the future, you don't feel disgusting, I, who is a master, still feel disgusting. By the way, son and daughter, if you are really reluctant, you can take one away, and if it's a big deal, you can take a little less of Qi Jingchun's gift. ”

The man asked, "Master, what should I do if my daughter-in-law has to take the two babies away together?"

Old man Yang said angrily: "Who is in charge of your family?!"

The man said with a natural face: "She!"

The old man took a deep breath and waved his hand to drive people away, "Get out, a family of four, what's the love!"

The man walked down the steps, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Then Master, you?"

The old man sat back on the bench, reached out to touch the dry tobacco in his pocket, and found that it was empty, and after withdrawing his hand, he said calmly: "What else can I do, just wait for death." ”

The man walked to the eaves over there, turned his head for no reason and smiled: "I don't think Ma Kuxuan can take that kind of thing with him." ”

The old man's expression was gloomy, and he laughed at himself: "If he can't take it away, then no one can take it away." ”

————

The four surnames and ten clans in the town suddenly got the news that within three days, all outsiders must all withdraw from the town, and Lizhu Cave Heaven is only allowed to go out for the time being, and is not allowed to enter.

Although the grievances were overwhelming, in the end, no one even questioned the matter.

In the eastbound team, the ancestor of the Li family did not hesitate to come forward in person and secretly escort the little ancestor of Zhengyang Mountain away.

The next day, far west of the town, there was a rumbling sound, like a cow turning over on the ground, earth-shattering.

It turned out to be the Zhengyang Mountain moving ape, which really raised a huge peak.

The old ape, who had revealed his true body, was about to carry it on his back.

The old ape's shoulders tilted suddenly, as if something heavy was pressing on his shoulders, and the old ape raised his head and squinted.

On the top of the mountain on the shoulder, there is a small figure of "one".

Qi Jingchun.

The old ape laughed and said, "Qi Jingchun, don't be so stingy and miss a big thing!"

Qi Jingchun said in a deep voice: "Put this Phiyun Mountain back." ”

The old ape raised his shoulders upward, shouted angrily, and said wildly: "What if you don't let it go?!"

The next moment, the mountain moving ape suddenly left the bottom of the mountain peak with both hands, rolled on its side, and its huge body crushed the nearby trees countless times.

The next moment, the giant ape was trampled into the ground.

That person is the real person who stands up to the sky, and compared with the mountain moving ape, it seems to have become someone else's foot mole ant.

Another kick trampled the old ape, who was trying to struggle to get up, and sank deep into the ground again.

One more kick.

The old ape was paralyzed in the pit, covered in blood, and dying.

The man bowed his body, as if his head was against the sky, looked down at the mountain moving ape, and sneered: "If I had been sixty years ago, the first thing I would do after I went out would have been to set foot on Zhengyang Mountain!"
