Chapter 282: Thinking of Innocence
(I've kept everyone waiting~)
Chen Ping'an waited quietly at the Stork Inn, leaving the lawless place of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and his boxing became relaxed again, and before he knew it, he had finished the last eight thousand punches.
On this day, Chen Ping'an stopped the last fist pile, sat silently at the table, and took out a green and lovely little bamboo slip, which was different from other bamboo slips, not engraved with timeless and beautiful words, but a small prop used by Chen Ping'an to calculate, when 100,000 punches, 200,000, 500,000, all engraved with the rough process on it.
Chen Ping'an stretched out his fingers, carefully rubbing the upper side of the notch, occasionally there will be a record of a thousand punches or even hundreds of punches counting notches, those times, is often the most irritable period for Chen Ping'an, such as the dilapidated ancient temple and Mr. Qi after the separation, such as the early days after the catastrophe on Osmanthus Island, etc., there are many unknown moments, in short, when the heart is not quiet, even if there are more punches and piles, Chen Ping'an will not be counted in the list of one million punches.
That's it, a million punches.
is plain, the four realms are still the four realms, Chen Ping'an is still Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an put away the bamboo slip, and the old man was relieved and returned to the field, and selected a brand new piece of Qingshen Mountain bamboo slip, planning to engrave it on it with a million punches.
The sunlight outside the window slipped into the room, like a group of children who don't like to laugh, when they were tired, and then they lazily lay on the table, on the ground, on the shoulders of teenagers.
Chen Ping'an sat quietly in place, not thinking about anything, or thinking about something but not remembering it, which is also good.
A familiar knock on the door sounded, Chen Ping'an immediately came back to his senses, this time he didn't ask who it was, everything about the gatekeeper Sword Immortal, Chen Ping'an remembered it very clearly, spoke emphatically, his face was expression, sword spirit, turning around, Chen Ping'an remembered deeply, even if it was an inconsequential detail like the knock on the door, Chen Ping'an did not let it go, went out, and sailed carefully for ten thousand years, the importance of this caution is not inferior to boxing at all.
Chen Ping'an didn't ask who it was this time, he got up and went over to open the door, sure enough, it was the sword fairy who liked to doze off, he entered the room, put a thin soft golden rope on the table, and said with a smile: " The demon rope made of the old Jiao's long beard, a veritable magic weapon, I found a Taoist Fu Sect of the inverted hanging mountain, he intercepted two thumb-length Jiao whiskers, symbolic as a reward, in fact, he made this rope The cost of heaven and earth treasure, must be much more than this loss, just from a green word on the careful peeling off of the three cloud patterns, no worse than two Jiao whiskers. The reason why I say these things is not to ask you for credit, there is just one thing to say, in the final analysis, it is still Ning Yatou's face, these are incomparable. β
Chen Ping'an never sat down, and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Sword Immortal seniors." β
The man who still rested his saber on the top of the tethered horse stake waved his hand and pointed to the golden demon rope, "After rough refining, wherever the mind goes, the demon clan in the middle five realms will not be able to escape the restraint, but in the face of the two realms of Jindan and Yuanying, it will not be able to support it for long, but under Jindan, it may not be able to break free." The reason why the demon rope is spread all over the world, especially the high-quality demon rope, is most loved by the qi practitioners who travel all over the world, is that it is similar to the dragon king's basket, one move to defeat the enemy, and it belongs to the superior magic weapon that can be called 'one trick fresh, eat all over the world'. β
The man suddenly noticed that Chen Ping'an's face was strange, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Ping'an said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to refine the magic weapon. β
The man smiled angrily: "Chen Ping'an, are you joking, or do you think I'm so fooled? The two flying swords in your sword-raising gourd, if it weren't for the refining perfection......
The man was worthy of being one of the few sword immortals in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, his face became solemn, he glanced at the sword cultivation on Chen Ping'an's waist, nodded, no longer cared about this matter, let alone got to the bottom of it, and said straightforwardly: " Then I will pass you a popular mantra for refining magic weapons, rest assured, don't admit my feelings, this door trick is a rotten street on the side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, you should buy one get one free, and use this recipe to refine utensils, the advantage is that it is easy to get started, and the disadvantage is that this formula is refined into a virtual demon rope, once it is forcibly taken away by the earth immortals, it is easy to cut off the prohibition you arranged, and it will become someone else's bag. β
The man smiled: "So, in the future, when you meet the powerful demon clan in the world, if you don't have to, you can run, just don't take out this thing, don't think about relying on it to retreat from the enemy, so as not to be a treasure boy." Okay, I can't stay longer, I'll teach you the mantra and some precautions in my heart, and if you can't remember it once, I can say it twice. β
Chen Ping'an nodded, above the heart lake, the ripples rippled slightly, and the mellow voice of the sword fairy slowly sounded in his heart, and Chen Ping'an silently wrote it down.
The sword immortal asked, "How many percent do you remember?"
Chen Ping'an said honestly: "I have written it down, but I implore the Sword Immortal seniors to repeat it again." β
The sword fairy smiled: "You kid is not welcome. β
The sword immortal didn't feel the slightest trouble about this, but he appreciated Chen Ping'an's straightforwardness a little, so he said the mantra again, and talked about his own experience more than the first time, which was naturally an extremely high-level opinion, Chen Ping'an definitely couldn't understand it at the moment, so he could only memorize it by rote.
The man is not a person who drags mud and water, and after finishing the mantra, he got up and left, but before he walked out of the house, he said to Chen Ping'an: "Ning Yatou's generation, the qualifications are really good, so good that all the old men can dream of laughing and blooming." And it's not three or five dozens, it's more than thirty people, so the world will definitely not sit still, and the young demon who won me is very famous, and he may not be the strongest genius in a hundred years, the Great Wall of Sword Qi has ushered in a big year that is rare in a thousand years, after the demon clan has been attacking one after another for hundreds of years, I found one thing very strange, that is, even if it is a half-cut cultivation genius who is inferior to Ning Ya, it seems that they are hiding one by one, which is very unreasonable, so I am a little worried, I always feel that the wild world is planning something big, and the battle of the thirteenth is just a prologueγ β
Seeing that Chen Ping'an listened carefully, the man laughed at himself: "It seems useless to tell you this." You've heard it, forget it. β
Chen Ping'an insisted on sending this senior sword immortal to the door of the stork inn, and when he arrived at the alley outside the inn, the sword fairy said helplessly: "I just said that you are not welcome, but now you are polite, then I am not welcome." β
The sword immortal turned into a rainbow light and rose from the ground, heading towards the foot of Gufeng Mountain, and the majestic sword qi disappeared in an instant.
Chen Ping'an had a headache, and sure enough, on the side of the inn, several guests looked at each other, and the young shopkeeper stood behind the counter, crackling and calculating, seemingly careless, but in fact, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The guests of his own inn come from an extraordinary background, which is certainly not a bad thing, and he is full of light and can have a long face.
When Chen Ping'an walked back to the inn, those mountain immortals who were no longer outstanding in the inverted hanging mountain, otherwise they would not have stayed in a small stork inn, even if the inn lobby was spacious enough, those people still subconsciously took the initiative to give way to the road. Chen Ping'an had no choice but to pretend that he didn't see anything, returned to the house, and began to refine the demon binding rope with the mantra taught by the sword immortal, like a talisman, but he still couldn't control this high-grade magic weapon for a long time, and everything was only in the "one go" of pure martial arts.
The long qi is the greater the strength.
But unlike the making of a talisman, for Chen Ping'an, who had the Changsheng Bridge shattered, the use of the demon rope was more tricky, but fortunately, after entering the fourth realm, the ventilation was more concealed and rapid, and the old and the new alternated, far faster than the previous three realms, so the use of the demon rope can be aimed at the demon clan of the three realms of Dongfu, Guanhai and Longmen in the middle five realms, as a killer weapon at the bottom of the box, surprise, after imprisoning the opponent, and then giving the enemy the greatest attack in the shortest possible time.
Of course, the Demon Binding Rope is useful for all Qi practitioners, but it is better to deal with the Demon Clan.
This demon rope, if it can be combined with a few talismans that are adapted to local conditions and different from person to person, coupled with fist techniques to kill the enemy, Chen Ping'an feels a lot more confident.
Chen Ping'an spent a full three hours refining the demon rope little by little, and when he was done, he was already sweating profusely, but fortunately, there was the tried and tested dust cleansing talisman in the house, which saved a lot of trouble.
After that, Chen Ping'an took off the sword raiser, put it on the table, and stared at it in a daze.
Regarding the battle of the Thirteenth, Ning Yao did not shy away from what he said.
It's just that Ning Yao is willing to speak carefully, and the clouds are light and light.
Chen Ping'an listened to her, didn't dare to ask more questions at all, and pretended to just listen to a heart-wrenching story.
Even Ning Yao would tell him in person, "I'm very sad that my father and mother are gone, but it's just to kill the enemy with my own hands and take revenge, I won't think about it, and you don't have to think about it too much." β
After saying these words, Ning Yao raised his head and drank wine, and gently covered his heart with one hand.
In Chen Ping'an's heart, Ning Yao's edge, at that moment, was far more straightforward than the first time he saw her imperial sword.
The only thing that can be compared is in her hometown town, Ning Yao put her fingers together, pressed against her eyebrows, like opening the eyes of the sky, threatening to unfold the world of Lizhu Cave Heaven, a trace of golden oozing out, almost to sacrifice her natal flying sword.
So Chen Ping'an decided to practice swords.
To become a Great Sword Immortal.
One day, he will engrave words on the southern city of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
Chen Ping'an took a deep breath, put away the sword gourd, and pinned it to his waist, Chen Ping'an actually stopped drinking recently.
Since he decided to practice swords, and he already has a "Swordsmanship", and he still has a "long qi" temporarily lent to him by the old sword fairy behind him, Chen Ping'an began to think about this matter seriously, and even more solemnly than when he decided to practice a million fists "Mountain Shaking Boxing".
Chen Ping'an stood up, closed his eyes, and slowly paced around the table.
Sword cultivation uses swords, and swordsmen also use swords, but the two are high and low, and there is a world of difference.
The Fengxue Temple Wei Jin who took away the donkey at the beginning, the sword immortal of the Yupu Realm, but the demeanor of a sword, even now, Chen Ping'an remembers it vividly.
And whether it is the old Song seniors of the Sword Saint of the Combing Water Country who won the rivers and lakes of a country, or the sword god of the Caiyi Country who died at the hands of Ma Kuxuan, no matter how high their swordsmanship is, no matter how famous the rivers and lakes are, it is really difficult to compete with the qi practitioners on the mountain, especially the sword cultivator.
The reason why Chen Ping'an wanted to go to Juluzhou to practice before was because he heard that the swordsmen of the rivers and lakes in Juluzhou had swordsmanship attainments that were higher than those of Aquarius, much higher.
If you want to become a sword immortal, you need to become a sword cultivator, you must first have an immortal bridge, the old one, it can't be repaired, and the achievements are limited if it is repaired, so build a new one, how to start? Go to Tongyezhou to find the East China Sea Taoist Temple, find an old Taoist who doesn't even know his name now, since the old Taoist can be talked about by the old sword immortal, he must be a pretty amazing old immortal, see or not see himself, and say two things.
Chen Ping'an circled the table again and again, and once unconsciously took off the sword raiser, and was almost about to drink, but fortunately, the wine was fragrant and intoxicating, which invisibly reminded Chen Ping'an not to return to his waist.
The old sword immortal's "long qi", after arriving in Tongye Continent, can point out a general direction, so Chen Ping'an chose to land in the central area of Tongye Continent, first determine the north and south, and then pursue all the way.
When Chen Ping'an was thinking about the details of his trip to Tongyezhou, a couple came to the Stork Inn, saying that they were looking for Chen Ping'an, and they were old acquaintances with the boy.
On the upside-down hanging mountain, hurting people is death, this rule is very effective, although there are many advanced secret methods, you can get away with it, but once it is found, even if it is an old case decades ago and a hundred years ago, the upside-down hanging mountain master knife man, and even Jiaolong Zhenjun, will still go out in person, so the inverted hanging mountain is always a rare peaceful time and pure land.
The young shopkeeper led the couple to the corridor of Chen Ping'an's house, pointed in the direction, and did not continue to follow.
The woman thanked him, the young shopkeeper smiled and said yes, and then left with confidence, but around the corner, the young man couldn't help but look back inexplicably, the couple and the couple, the appearance was mediocre, and the temperament was gentle, but the young shopkeeper always felt that something was wrong, shook his head, and didn't think about it anymore, the stork inn wanted to regain the glory of his ancestors, and there was a long way to go, and there were a lot of trivial things every day that he needed to bow to.
Outside Chen Ping'an's door, the man complained: "Just appear in this kid's room, why bother." β
The woman glared and said: "How can you not talk about the slightest etiquette, the girl is already such a character, and there is another you, if I am still, if Chen Ping'an is really a mud bodhisattva, who can bully it? Why? Just because the girl is lucky to find such a good child, I think everything is natural?"
The man exclaimed angrily: "You see him is the most pleasing to the eye! He found our precious girl, isn't he lucky? If there is an ancestral hall, it is not too much to burn a hundred high incense sticks." β
The woman was also stubborn, and as soon as she heard the man say this, she stopped knocking on the door and decided to have a good fight with her man, so as to save herself from talking nonsense after entering the house, which would be more difficult to clean up.
After all, Haoran World is not a great wall of sword qi accustomed to life and death, hanging outside the mountain, words hurt people, especially unintentional words, which are very heavy.
Her own man is rough and doesn't like to pay attention to these, but she is a woman, where can she not care.
The man quickly admitted his mistake, "Okay, okay, all listen to you." β
The woman glared at her man, who said helplessly, "I really know it's wrong." β
The woman knocked softly on the door and asked softly, "Chen Ping'an?"
Chen Ping'an in the house immediately paced, so nervous that he couldn't get worse, sweat oozing from his forehead, and immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, I'll come out immediately." β
After a few moments, the boy opened the door.
Changed his clothes and wore that golden robe, under the earth immortals, it would be regarded as a snow-white robe.
Finally, he took off his straw sandals that had not changed for 10,000 years and put on a new pair of boots, also white.
The "long qi" that he was carrying before had been resting on the table, and there was no "ginger pot" on his waist that raised a sword and a wine pot, but there was no one on the table, and it was actually hidden by the young man.
The woman and the man looked at each other and smiled.
It seems that they have guessed their true identity.
The couple crossed the threshold, Chen Ping'an gently closed the door, and then asked, "Do you want tea?"
After the woman sat down, she shook her head with a smile, then pointed to a stool, and said: "Chen Ping'an, you also sit, before we were in Jingjian Pavilion to cover our faces, it was a last resort, after all, the Inverted Hanging Mountain is not the Great Wall of Sword Qi, it has its own rules, I hope you can understand." β
Chen Ping'an sat on the opposite side of the table, his fists clenched on his knees, and nodded vigorously.
The man squinted at the restrained young man, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, so unatmospheric, not chic, no matter how he looked at it, he was not worthy of his daughter.
As a result, the man stomped on the woman severely, and he had no choice but to look at his nose and nose, and leave everything to the woman.
After the woman removed the blindfold, the man did the same, and the two of them revealed their true faces.
The women are stunning, and the men are handsome.
Probably this is the real fairy couple.
will have such a moving daughter as Ning Yao.
The woman seemed to introduce herself in one fell swoop, "You should already know, I am Ning Yao's mother, what about him, it is Ning Yao's father, the two of us have actually died in the south of the Great Wall of Sword Qi a long time ago, but the remnants of the soul were retained by the boss Sword Immortal, although it is contrary to the customs of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, but people are dead, and they still care about what they do, they will fight and kill all their lives, and after they die, they will 'live' for themselves for the last time, it should not be too much, after all, Ning Yao was still ......young at that time."
At this point, the woman could not go on.
The man had no choice but to follow her words, and continued, "Ning Yao ran away from home for the first time, and after coming back, we knew that something was wrong......
The woman coughed softly.
The man had no choice but to change the wording, "I know you, in fact, our daughter didn't figure it out at the time, but later I knew that you were going to help send the sword to the inverted hanging mountain, and when she had something to do, she would wait for you." β
Alone, sitting on that dragon slaying platform.
It makes the man's heart feel uncomfortable.
The man hesitated for a moment, his face was not a little kind, "Can you really live up to Ning Yao?" You should know that Ning Yao is very different from ordinary women, and this is true in all aspects. β
Although Chen Ping'an was so nervous that he was sweating, he still said with a straight face: "I thought about it, the worst result is that Ning Yao will regret it in the future and like someone else, if that person treats her better than I treat her, I will no longer see Ning Yao." If Ning Yao has always liked me, I will work hard, the next time we meet, it will not be like this time, I can only become a burden to her, whether she is in the city in the north, on the head of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, or on the battlefield further south, I will be by her side, do my best to protect her. β
Chen Ping'an's sweat blurred his vision, quickly wiped it, and continued: "If it has nothing to do with the war, just two people get along, then if you like a person, you may think that she is all good, but when you are together in the future, you must learn to like her badly." I know that. When I was very young, my father and mother would quarrel, but never in front of me, and after the quarrel, my father would also be stuffy in the yard, but the next day, the two of them were fine. Although I have always felt that my father and mother are the best people in the world, but there are really people in the world who are really good at everything, and this is definitely not the case, but I will try to know what is right and wrong, what is good and what is bad, and then leave the best to Ning Yao. β
The man looked dumbfounded.
I've finished talking to you, kid, what am I talking about?
Also, how old are you Chen Ping'an, how can you understand these truths?
The woman raised her hand, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and then laughed softly: "Chen Ping'an, you had a hard time when you were a child, right?"
Chen Ping'an hesitated, but still nodded and did not speak.
But after enduring it for a long time, Chen Ping'an wrinkled his face again, pressed down the corners of his mouth on both sides, and said in a trembling voice: "When my mother left, I died of bitterness, I was too young at that time, and there were too few things I could do, so my mother still left." β
Go up the mountain to collect medicine, pawn things at home, cook and cook, carry water, decoct medicine, go to the immortal tomb to secretly pray for blessings, put a handful of wild fruits in the back basket, cover the back corner for her mother in the middle of the night, and ask her if she is better today......
It didn't work, it didn't work.
It's just that Chen Ping'an only said such a sentence and didn't say anything anymore.
That's a sentence that denies one's own coffin.
Too young, too little.
The woman lowered her head and lifted her sleeve again.
The man sighed.
How strange is there so much suffering in the world?
Any child with a rough background, who lacks this?
But the strange thing lies in the word hardship, how to eat.
The suffering of the world is needless to say, and it is impossible to say.
The woman exhaled lightly, raised her head, and squeezed out a smile, "Chen Ping'an, Ning Yao will be handed over to you to take care of in the future, there is something wrong with her, you are a man, you must take care of it." β
Chen Ping'an said in a trembling voice: "Are you leaving?
The woman stood up and said with a smile: "Ning Yao knows and knows, so you don't have to worry about this, I am not Ning Yao's mother, so I said that she is good, but the girl you Chen Ping'an likes, it is really good." β
Chen Ping'an could only nod.
The woman turned to look at the man who was getting up with her, "Do you have anything to say?"
The man nodded.
The woman was understanding, "Then I'll wait for you outside?"
The man hummed, and the woman walked out of the room and stood at the corner of the corridor.
The man looked at the young man and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ping'an!"
The man, who had always been lukewarm to Chen Ping'an, suddenly laughed, walked around the table, stretched out his broad palm, and patted the young man on the shoulder, then put away his hand, took a step back, still raising his palm, palm facing Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, quickly stretched out his hand, and knocked his palms on each other.
The man squeezed the young man's palm heavily, "Chen Ping'an, in the future, my daughter, Ning Yao, will be handed over to you to take care of! Can you take care of it?"
Chen Ping'an choked loudly: "It's okay to die!"
The man let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Whatever dies or doesn't die, live well." β
The man glanced Chen Ping'an up and down, and said with satisfaction: "Well, worthy of my daughter." β
The man turned around and strode away, Chen Ping'an wanted to send him off, but the man had already raised his hand and signaled that Chen Ping'an did not need to follow.
The man never turned around, slowly walked to the door, and said with a smile: "Next time you go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, let Ning Yao take you to the grave to toast us and report safety." β
After the man crossed the threshold, he suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "What's wrong with drinking, what kind of wine jug is hidden, the most chic sword immortals in the world love to drink." β
The man stretched out his fist, cocked his thumb, and pointed at himself, "Like your husband and me!"
Chen Ping'an has been standing in place.
ββββ
At the ferry port on the other side of Shangxianglou, there will be a treasure-swallowing whale ferry to Tongyezhou setting sail today.
Before going to the ferry, Chen Ping'an first went to the foot of Gufeng Mountain, because there was no jade plate for the entrance to the upside-down hanging mountain, but he just looked at the gate from a distance outside the fence, his lips moved slightly, as if he was talking to himself.
The man with the sword sitting on the stake of the tethered horse, still dozing off in the daytime, just muttered to himself, and said three more words, compared with the first time, the word "near" was changed to "far".
When the young man approached this gate, he was close to the sword qi.
The young man is far away from the inverted hanging mountain, that is, the sword qi is far away.
Today's boy in Mud Bottle Lane, wearing a snow-white robe, carrying a long sword, and raising a sword at his waist, has an outstanding demeanor.
Young, innocent, the most moving.
