Chapter 267: Approaching the Inverted Hanging Mountain
When Chen Ping'an woke up on the roof, he found that he was covered with a piece of clothing, and the sword gourd was placed beside him, if it was in the past, Chen Ping'an was drunk and fell asleep all night, and the first time he must have jumped off the roof to check the locust wood sword box that was placed on the table in the house last night, but today, Chen Ping'an just slowly put away the clothes, folded them carefully, and was not in a hurry, because he believed that the wooden box was there.
Chen Ping'an believed in that old boat.
Chen Ping'an didn't want to raise a sword at his waist, sat cross-legged, turned his head to look at the east, and the morning glow was bright.
Compared with Chen Ping'an's previous state of mind when he left Jiaolonggou to chase Osmanthus Island, there is a world of difference, one heart is ape, erratic, and the other has a tethered horse stake.
Chen Ping'an stood up, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and admired the scene of the morning glow, he once saw in a landscape travel book, the morning glow scattered color shy hanger, I really don't know how the reader can come up with such a beautiful image.
Chen Ping'an suddenly turned his head to look at the outside of the small courtyard of Guimai, there was a young girl dressed as an osmanthus lady, standing under a sparse green laurel tree, bored, looking up at a laurel leaf, stretching out his finger and pointing, probably guessing the odd and even number of the leaves, Chen Ping'an followed her line of sight, fixed her eyes, grinned, and said loudly: "Girl, it's thirty-two leaves!"
The girl turned her head blankly, and when she saw the little sword fairy on the roof, her cheeks were crimson, and it seemed that the morning glow in the sky would also favor some more beauties.
The osmanthus lady, who was found to be lazy, couldn't help but feel shy, and asked, "Does Childe want to have breakfast now?"
Chen Ping'an smiled: "Okay, I'm tired of the girl to take more, I'm hungry." β
The osmanthus girl blinked, the figure fell into the courtyard, disappeared suddenly, and the girl's mood suddenly improved.
A few days ago, although this little sword fairy was also polite, she was still very afraid, and always felt that she had done something wrong, even if he would definitely not go to Aunt Gui to complain, he would definitely be seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart. So she was a little afraid of him, he told her that she didn't see anyone, so she honestly blocked many guests who came to visit, and refused a bunch of mountain immortals, I don't know how many white eyes and hangings I ate.
Chen Ping'an had breakfast, began to practice boxing in the courtyard, a morning of shaking the mountain boxing pile, in the afternoon is to practice the sword alone, still an illusion of holding the sword, the main attack of the avalanche style, because Chen Ping'an felt that this move swordsmanship is very enjoyable, after entering the fourth realm, the spiritual qi began to be restrained, between the six steps of walking on the pile, looking light and fluttering, as if Feihong stepped on the slush, but every time there was a subtle and rapid pause, the fist spirit poured out, especially rapid.
Turning to sword practice, Chen Ping'an found that the luck routes of the two sides were completely different, but that "meaning" was the same, which made Chen Ping'an more and more at ease, because he found that practicing boxing diligently is practice, and it can be practiced a lot. When Li Xisheng was drawing talismans in front of the Luoluo Mountain Bamboo Tower, he said that drawing talismans is practice, Ah Liang gave people a punch to the world, and he also said that practicing boxing to the extreme is practicing swords.
Then the fourth realm of martial arts will go on like this, before Chen Ping'an would feel dazed and confused, but now he is much more determined.
In the evening, Chen Ping'an practiced sword furnace stakes.
When eating supper, Mrs. Gui did not let the osmanthus lady come forward, and the woman personally brought the food box.
This Aunt Gui seemed to be preoccupied, and she didn't know how to speak, Chen Ping'an had already taken the lead in speaking: "Aunt Gui, this time I helped Fan Xiaozi keep Osmanthus Island, can you help me send a flying sword to him, just say that I like this Guimai courtyard very much, and it will be mine in the future?" Aunt Gui, I don't think Fan Xiaozi will be too stingy, but most of the Fan family members will not agree, can you help me talk about it when the time comes?"
Aunt Gui was full of suspicion, looked at the young man carefully, her expression did not seem to be fake, she had mixed feelings for a while, and said with a smile: "Over there in the Fan ancestral hall, if you dare not agree, then Aunt Gui will drag Fan Xiaozi to shout grievances, a shrew scolds the street, and the other rolls on the ground, it will definitely be done." β
Aunt Gui sat beside Chen Ping'an, watching him gobble up, as if she was amused by herself, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Osmanthus Island alone pulled out a small courtyard, this is a rare thing that has not been done before, Aunt Gui will go to personally draft a land deed, according to the rules of the yamen, in duplicate, let's draw the charge first, cut first and then play, and then let Fan Xiaozi throw his head into the ancestral ancestral hall, and run away, regardless of whether the old men are willing or not." β
Chen Ping'an smiled: "Aunt Gui, the title deed is not needed, I don't need this with you." β
Aunt Gui stared into the young man's eyes, "Really don't need to?"
Chen Ping'an looked at her and nodded, "Really." β
The woman sighed slightly, and suddenly put her arms around the young man and held her in her arms, although the lady Gui was mediocre but graceful, she smiled softly: "Although he is about the same age as Fan Xiaozi, that time he picked up a bamboo boat, it was heroic, and today it is like this...... Alas, it is true that the hearts of all women in the world are about to be crispy. β
Chen Ping'an was still holding chopsticks, his body was crooked, a bit like the crooked neck old willow tree on the bank of the Tiefu River, he didn't think much about it, he just felt that Mrs. Gui said good things about himself, but where was the good thing, Chen Ping'an really didn't understand, especially if a woman was crispy or not, what kind of attention was it? It was a metaphor for a literati scholar? And Aunt Gui's way of expressing the kindness of friends and the kindness of elders was indeed a bit inappropriate, but fortunately, the age difference between the two generations was too much, and I believe that even if outsiders saw it, they wouldn't think much about it......
The woman had already let go of Chen Ping'an, smiled slightly, and looked at the young man's face was not red and his heart was not beating, only the cute appearance of his eyes were blank, Aunt Gui squinted, and the woman who had always been dignified showed a delicate and charming look for the first time, and quipped: "Oh, it turns out that he is still a child like Fan Xiaozi." β
From beginning to end, Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed, so he had to bow his head to eat and drink occasionally.
Aunt Gui smiled and got up to leave.
As a result, I saw an old man with a playful smile at the door, full of wine, shaking the wine jug, striding into the yard, shouting what wine is for Huanbo, removing worries and happiness, the toad and rabbit are moving, and the laurel tree is shaking.
Mrs. Gui smiled helplessly, disagreed, and left, followed by the shade of osmanthus trees.
The old man of Zhouzi suddenly got drunk and swept away, and said: "Chen Ping'an, my master suddenly came to Osmanthus Island, and he asked for you by name, saying that he wanted to give you a message, can you see it?" I can only be sure that the old master is not a bad person, and he has always been compassionate, but I am also not sure that such a good person will do a bad thing. The reason why I don't want to climb the mountain to come to this small courtyard ......"
The old man was suddenly a little embarrassed, "It stands to reason that I, who is an apprentice, should be ashamed of His Holiness, but this kind of thing, forget it, I'll tell you well, Master and his old man, he used to be the first boat of the Osmanthus Island Ferry, whether it was playing penny, those origami chariots and horses and high-rise buildings, all of which were the rules he taught, but after that, the master quickly disappeared, and only appeared once five hundred years ago, and he accepted me as a registered disciple, which can be seen...... Master and his old man have some thoughts about Mrs. Gui, but unfortunately they don't know how to annoy Mrs. Gui, and Master is not allowed to set foot on Osmanthus Island for half a step in this life. β
Lao Zhouzi suddenly said: "I guess that Master and his old man are the boatmen recorded in the Taoist classics, and they have been at sea for hundreds of years at a time, and they will give ...... The guy you're talking about is holding the boat. So this time he came to you, I only helped to ventilate the news, whether to go or not, Chen Ping'an, you think about it yourself. β
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, nodded and said, "Go." That Lu ......"
Lao Zhouzi hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows, stopped Chen Ping'an's words, and lowered his voice: "If you are called by some people, the saint who is through the Tao can feel it. If you think about it, why are ordinary people in the market often admonished not to call out the names of their deceased elders? Is it just out of etiquette? It's not that simple. β
Chen Ping'an hummed and went down the mountain with Lao Zhouzi.
The old man joked: "Aren't you afraid that I have bad intentions?"
Chen Ping'an pretended to be mysterious and said softly: "Whether others harm me or not, I also have some feelings." Senior, doesn't this mean that I have the potential to be a saint?"
The old man couldn't help but laugh, the saint and the upper five realm qi practitioners are actually two kinds of people, if they want to become saints, especially the saints of the three sects in the hundred schools of the princes, even if they are only saints of the ten realms, I am afraid it will be more difficult than other qi practitioners to enter the Yupu realm.
After going down the mountain, close to the familiar ferry, Chen Ping'an and Lao Zhouzi were a little surprised, and they felt reasonable.
Madame Gui stood at the ferry, her sleeves fluttering, detached from the world, as if she was preventing a middle-aged man from stopping his boat and landing on the shore.
Mrs. Gui is the owner of the small world of Osmanthus Island, so she naturally knows the proximity of the two, and she doesn't want to entangle with this person anymore, so she spoke sharply, and said angrily to the middle-aged Zhouzi with a wooden look: "Hurry up, you want to chat, go to the sea to chat, you don't want to set foot on Osmanthus Island! β
The middle-aged man with a rough appearance is the boatman who used to travel far away with the boat under the left and right feet of Jian Xiu, and he should also be the preacher of the old Zhouzi beside Chen Ping'an.
The middle-aged man was originally a sullen gourd who couldn't be beaten, but the lady Gui in the ferry was where his death was located, seeing that the woman was so unkind, and even the first time he was so fierce, this made the honest man only feel that the sky was falling apart, and life was no longer tasteful, so he was also anxious, lost the penny, stomped his feet again and again, and wailed: "Well, well, isn't it that after being rejected by you, I was hurt by great affection, and after getting drunk, I was drunk and cowardly, and secretly ran to hug the laurel tree a few times, and it was also unbearable and forgivable...... Who am I, you don't know, even my husband says I'm honest and honest. β
Mrs. Gui was so angry that she sneered: "Yo Yo Yo, interlocking, first move with affection, then know with reason, and finally move out of the backer, amazing, who taught you this set of wording?"
The courage that the man finally mustered up, he was wiped out, and said in a dull voice: "Xiao Qi of the Divine Decree Sect ......"
Mrs. Gui stretched out her hand and scolded angrily: "You are a big man, do you still have a little responsibility and righteousness, people Qi Zhen helped you with advice, and you betrayed others like this?
The middle-aged man sat on a small boat with his ass in his head, shaking his hands and feet, and shouted: "What a way to live! Life is so interesting!"
Lao Zhouzi stopped, unwilling to take another step forward, stretched out his hand to cover his face, and beat him to death not to see the scene of the master and his old man, the teacher was so mad, it was really a great shame to be a disciple.
Lao Zhouzi turned around suddenly, "Let's go, look at it again, my broken Dao heart, even if I was lucky before, I was not broken by Lao Jiao, but I have to return it to the master." β
The man shouted to Lao Zhouzi: "Little bucket, when you see the master, you don't say hello?"
Lao Zhouzi, who was called the nickname of his childhood, stopped, sighed, but after turning around, he resolutely did not look at the master, saluted with lightning speed, and said "Long live the master, farewell to the disciple", and hurriedly ran up the mountain.
Chen Ping'an walked all the way to Mrs. Gui's side, both sides nodded and smiled, Chen Ping'an squatted on the side of the ferry port, looking at the man who looked at himself and Mrs. Gui, Chen Ping'an was a little creepy, thinking that this man's eyes were a little wrong, how could he look like a woman in Mud Bottle Lane and Xinghua Lane, looking at the eyes of his own man and Gu Can's mother? Chen Ping'an was a little suddenly realized, looking at a very honest person, why is he so small-bellied? No wonder Mrs. Gui doesn't like it.
Chen Ping'an asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
The middle-aged man roughly repeated what he had said to Jian Xiu left and right before.
Before the open and honest speech, the man stomped his feet lightly, the penny bounced up, was held in the palm of his hand, and knocked on the board of the boat, in an instant, the man with the world-shattering supernatural powers, temporarily created two small worlds, the small one, is between him and Chen Ping'an, close at hand, the larger, then in one breath encompasses the entire osmanthus island, so that I am afraid that even some Taoist priests of the inverted hanging mountain, and the saints of Nan Po Sazhou can not investigate here.
After all, he is the registered disciple of Lu Shen.
Unwilling to take over the sword and repair the left and right swords, or in front of Mrs. Gui is similar to a rogue man, in a vast world, there is only the name of Zhouzi in the rare classics, but it does not mean that this person's strength is not strong, and the Taoism is not high.
Madame Gui knew the roots of this person, so it was not surprising that in the small world beside her, the figures of the two were blurred, and the voices of both sides would not be leaked in the slightest.
After Chen Ping'an listened, he nodded and said, "Okay." β
The middle-aged man said slowly: "You don't want to become a close disciple of my husband, if you agree, I will thank you and owe you a great favor." β
Chen Ping'an looked at this man, simply sat on the edge of the ferry, took off the sword gourd, and just drank and didn't speak.
The man held a penny in one hand, looked up at the sky, and said softly: " Mr. has never regarded me as his disciple, a servant who helped him support the boat in the early years, although several of his descendant disciples, when they come to this world to travel, will take the initiative to find me, and are willing to call me a senior brother, but I know that Mr. has always disliked me for being dull, my qualifications are not good, and I can't even give up a love word, so I have been looking for countless years on the sea, and I want to follow Mr.'s footsteps, go to that green world, and formally learn from Mr. Formal apprenticeship, but Mr. does not want to see me, but if you are willing to agree to Mr. today, Mr. as long as he is in a good mood, meet me, I am sureγ β
Chen Ping'an smiled lazily: "Then do you know that the disciple that your husband wants to accept is me now, not me after becoming his disciple." β
The man stretched out his hand and patted his head, but he still couldn't figure it out, and said angrily: "I'm confused for you." Why, why do you gentlemen's disciples and protΓ©gΓ©s speak so strangely, so unpleasant. Even if it was Xie Shi of Beiju Luzhou, his speech was also crepe, and the scolding words were hidden in the praise, which made me come back to my senses after more than a hundred years, and I knew that he was scolding me for not being enlightened, so I was disliked by Mrs. Gui. β
The man then sighed, "It's still my fault, I'm too stupid." No wonder others are too smart. β
Chen Ping'an stopped drinking and smiled, "Why don't you blame this world?"
The man stood on the boat, and the boy sat on the edge of the ferry.
The two of them just looked at eye level.
The man grinned.
Chen Ping'an had already changed the topic, "Your disciple has been injured so badly, you don't care?" It seems that he had been to the Yuanying Realm before, and then fell back to Jindan ......."
The man said angrily: "I'm his master, not his father, a five-hundred-year-old person, and you still want me to pee a handful of?"
Chen Ping'an put down the sword gourd, stretched out a finger with his left hand to hover in the air, and then pulled his right hand to the right, and then stopped, between the two fingers, like an invisible ruler, "The truth I said, at this end, the reason you said, at this end, seems to make sense, but your reason, in fact, can't refute my reason, do you know why? Because your reason, you shouldn't go so far at once." β
Chen Ping'an's right hand slowly moved to the left, nodded in the middle, and then nodded left and right, and said with a smile: "Your truth, if you are just here and standing here, it may be the real truth, and you can deviate a little from left to right...... But when the truth is in the right position, how can we measure the weight and magnitude of the truth? Do you know the magician? It is not the art of yin and yang, but the art of arithmetic, and with the help of the Legalist, with these two smaller rulers, it is useful......
The man said indifferently: "Don't think about ruining my avenue!"
Holding the penny, he knocked the board again.
Chen Ping'an smiled brightly.
Because I'm right again.
Chen Ping'an stood up with a smile, no longer pretending to be mysterious and making something out of nothing, in his dream last night, he had a dream, read a book all night, and was mysterious.
seemed to realize that he was being tricked, and the man was a little annoyed, scratching his head, but he didn't get angry with Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an blinked, "Madam Gui looks, what do you think she will think of you if you treat your disciple like this?"
The man seemed to be enlightened suddenly, his eyes lit up, he hesitated, and took out a stack of gold books from his bosom that were perforated with simple straw ropes and strung together, "I finally picked it up from the bottom of the sea, handed it to the small bucket, remember to give it to him in front of Mrs. Gui, can you do it?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Of course you can! I'll help you say a few more good words." β
The man smiled: "Then you just calculated my affairs, and I won't record it in the account book." β
Chen Ping'an took the golden book, didn't look at it, carefully put it in his sleeve, glanced at the woman who seemed to be a stone's throw away, but in fact was not in a small world at all, she was looking at the moonlit night on the sea, her expression was confused, Chen Ping'an retracted his gaze, a little curious, and asked in a low voice: "You are so high, you have lived for so many years, why do you love Mrs. Gui alone?" And you know that your avenue is in the way, it is that love word, see that you are still enjoying it?"
The man was stabbed in the heart, and said angrily: "It's your business!"
Chen Ping'an paced the shore with a wine jug and asked, "Let's talk, Mrs. Gui can't hear us, right?"
The man nodded.
Chen Ping'an still lowered his voice and said: "Of course, Mrs. Gui's temperament is very good, but how good is her appearance...... It shouldn't be too ...... The story between the two of you, why did you like her in the first place, why did she dislike you, how did you like someone, and what kind of separation, what annoyed Mrs. Gui, I take it as a warning...... Oh no, I'm trying to help you with advice! You don't know, I know a lot of girls, and I know a lot about the love between men and women!"
The man rolled his eyes and said: "I like a person, if I can say a lot of things, I can be considered a fart like it, talking to you as a layman, it's really boring, the little bucket is blind to the dog's eyes before he is willing to drink with you." β
Chen Ping'an grinned.
The man suddenly stretched out his hand and beat his chest vigorously, and swore an oath: "Also, Mrs. Gui is in my mind, that is the posture of the country and the city, no one in the world can compare, you kid will be careful when you speak to me in the future, and if you dare to say bad things about her, I will beat you into a fool!"
The man spat at Chen Ping'an, "What kind of eyes, I can't see the slightest beauty and ugliness!"
The middle-aged boat turned the bow of the boat with a penny, and left the boat alone, and it was thousands of miles away in an instant.
Chen Ping'an patted his chest, and after shouting to Aunt Gui happily, "Let's go, I asked the old man for a secret book from his master." β
Chen Ping'an didn't forget to say good things to the middle-aged man, and it was two, "He is an atmospheric man." It's just a little too honest. β
Mrs. Gui nodded and smiled, "Hmm." It's just that the appearance is not too outstanding. β
Chen Ping'an swallowed his saliva, stiffly turned his head to look at the one person and one boat who had long disappeared, that man was really unkind......
Mrs. Gui patted the young man's head lightly, obviously not really angry, and said softly: "Look at what, let's go." β
The two walked side by side along the mountain road, and Madam Gui asked casually: "In another month, we will reach our destination, Chen Ping'an, do you have any acquaintances in the Inverted Hanging Mountain? If not, it will be a little troublesome to go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and the signboards of our Fan family and Osmanthus Island are not very useful over there." And upside down the mountain, there are some things, even if you have money, you really can't let the ghost grind. Because ......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Gui paused slightly, and said helplessly: "That Dao Er, he has made some strange rules, and for thousands of years, no one has ever been able to cross the Thunder Pond for half a step. β
Chen Ping'an didn't believe it, "Never?"
Madame Gui sighed and said: "Many people have tried it in history, and afterwards, the corpses and spirits were thrown into a small Lei Ze in the upside-down hanging mountain by a certain Taoist Great Heavenly Monarch...... None of them had a good end, and no one could change that Taoist's decision. β
It seems that the golden body appeared in Jiaolonggou at the beginning, and the true body of the Taoist who was far away in the inverted hanging mountain also used his magical powers to isolate the heaven and earth, so that Osmanthus Island could not see the slightest truth.
Chen Ping'an was worried, and roughly described the appearance of the Taoist, and Madame Gui looked surprised, "How did you recognize this Great Heavenly Monarch of the Inverted Hanging Mountain?"
Chen Ping'an grinned and smiled bitterly.
At this moment, a white rainbow pierced the night sky, swept over Osmanthus Island, and left a sentence, "Everyone on Osmanthus Island climbs the Inverted Hanging Mountain, and they are all exempted from passing money, and if someone wants to go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi through the Inverted Hanging Mountain, they don't need to spend money." β
Chen Ping'an suddenly raised his arm, clenched his fists, and said with a smile: "He won!"
After January, the passengers of Osmanthus Island can already see the majestic outline of the upside-down mountain in the sky.
And above the sea, every short distance, there are all kinds of transcontinental ferries, which are magnificent.
As time passed, the inverted hanging mountain became more and more majestic.
After Mrs. Gui's nod and agreement, Chen Ping'an secretly left the Guimai courtyard before dawn that day, and finally sat on the high branch of the osmanthus tree on the top of the mountain, swaying his feet and looking up vigorously.
I heard that the inverted hanging mountain is the border between the two worlds.
He Chen Ping'an is a pure martial artist, and he is not a Traveling Realm Grandmaster who can resist the wind, so he can only walk step by step, or take a ferry.
From Da Li, the northernmost part of Aquarius, to the southernmost Old Dragon City, it is already so far. If you go from one world to another, it sounds far, far.
Chen Ping'an sat on the high branch, smiling and punching at will, his body twisting left and right.
Under the tree, a young woman who had come to the top of the mountain early in the morning sighed and muttered, "I still think this guy is stupid." β
