Chapter 187: Old People in the New Year

This flying sword is no longer the vulgar appearance of a silver ingot, except that it is extremely slender, it is no different from a sword, except that it is between the illusory and the substantial, crystal clear, and full of fairy energy.

Under the morning glow, the small and delicate flying sword flashed with layers of halo, dazzling brilliance.

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a long time, and finally spoke: "What, it's the New Year, do you want to run out to take a breath? Why, you flying swords also pay attention to the New Year's Festival?"

The tip of its sword moved slightly, spinning slowly.

Chen Ping'an's heartstrings were tense and ready to flee at any time.

After it turned around, the tip of the sword was slightly cocked, and the hilt of the sword fell, as if it was recognizing this somewhat unfamiliar world.

There was a sound of a boy in Tsing Yi getting up and yawning in the house, and the flying sword swished, sweeping Chen Ping'an's eyebrows, so fast that there was still its afterimage in place, dragging out a slender brilliance like a long rope in the air, far beyond Chen Ping'an's imagination, there was no way to hide, the next moment, Chen Ping'an only felt a cold eyebrow, and reached out to touch it, but instead of stabbing a hole in the flying sword, there was not even the slightest mark.

Sweeping into the body and returning to the hole, it is a breeze.

It is as if a land sword immortal is fighting his sword on the battlefield to open the way, as if entering a no-man's land.

Chen Ping'an planned to go back and ask Miss Ruan if the flying swords in the world were so mysterious.

At the door, the young boy in Tsing Yi, who was eager to try, held a large bundle of bamboo tubes that had been prepared long ago, and stepped out of the threshold with the sleepy-eyed girl in the pink skirt, he kicked her lightly, and the girl in the pink skirt quickly patted it, this is the new clothes that the master bought for her, and then glared at him angrily, "What to do?"

The boy in Tsing Yi stood in the courtyard and sighed: "Are you stupid, as a fire python, you are congenitally proficient in fire magic, so hurry up and light firecrackers?"

The girl in the pink skirt blinked, it turns out that the fire magic power can still be used like this?

Along the way, cooking rice and making soup, the old man has made his own fire every time, even on rainy nights and snowy nights, so she never thought of this stubble.

Chen Ping'an never mentioned it, she couldn't think of it at all. The boy in Tsing Yi probably didn't bother to say.

With the partnership of the two little guys, light the firecrackers and say goodbye to the old year.

Soon the sound of firecrackers sounded elsewhere on this side of Mud Bottle Lane, echoing from afar.

The little boy in Tsing Yi had a lot of fun, and the girl in the pink skirt waited until the last bamboo was burned, and then she was going to the house to get a broom and prepare to sweep the floor, Chen Ping'an took the broom with a smile, stuck it against the wall, and put the broom upside down. It turns out that according to the customs of Longquan Town, on the first day of the first lunar month, every household stands upside down with a broom, indicating that nothing will be done today, just rest.

Chen Ping'an stood by the wall, looking at the deserted courtyard next door, with mixed feelings. He hesitated for a moment, but still went to get an extra Spring Festival couplet and two blessing characters from his home, and went to the next door to paste them.

The boy in Tsing Yi smiled and asked, "Is it a very good friend of the master?"

Chen Ping'an said softly: "I hope it's good if it's not an enemy." ”

Go back to his yard, Chen Ping'an stood in the alley at the door, looking at the two painted door gods on the door, one article and one martial arts, Wen holds the jade wat and the martial arts hold the iron mace, Chen Ping'an thinks how strange it is, in the past, the town sold paper door gods at the end of the year, all kinds of things, in addition to the civil and military door gods, there are many "gods" including the God of Wealth , but this year, all the door gods in the town are all this regulation, I heard the shopkeeper say that it is the rules set by the government office, and in the future, the new Confucian Temple and the Wu Temple in the town will be enshrined in the golden body of the lord, which is the two who painted on paper.

Chen Ping'an remembered what Old Man Yang said, and his feelings became deeper and deeper.

Chen Ping'an swept away the gloom in his heart, sat in the courtyard and began to bask in the sun, not thinking about anything.

The girl in the pink skirt continued to sit on the small bench and eat melon seeds, and the boy in Tsing Yi walked around the yard with his hands behind his back, full of ambition, shouting that he would practice diligently this year, and he must impress the old man and the stupid girl, so that at the end of the year, he could walk sideways in the town, and he was no longer afraid of any bullshit sword cultivation in the eight or nine realms.

In the end, the little boy in Tsing Yi smiled flatteringly: "Master, you just need to give me a few better snake gallstones, don't say the end of the year, tomorrow I will be able to fight all over the town invincible, when the time comes, you take me to the street to bully men and women, to be the lawless local tyrant and inferior gentry, see which girl is beautiful, drag it to Mud Bottle Lane, wahahahaha, master, is it happy to think about it?!"

Chen Ping'an grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the girl in the pink skirt, nodded and said, "It's good if you're happy." ”

The longing smile of the boy in Tsing Yi collapsed suddenly, and he sat next to Chen Ping'an with a long sigh, one left and one right with the girl in the pink skirt, like two small door gods, but he felt that the first day of the New Year this year did not have a good start, and he was a little unlucky, so he took out an ordinary snake gallstone and ate it with a clatter, so he could only ask for a good fortune for himself.

At this time, Chen Ping'an suddenly took out two exquisite small bags from his sleeve, which were one of the New Year's goods sold by his New Year's shop in Qilong Lane, handed them to the two of them, and quipped: "Take them all, the master gave you the New Year's money." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi didn't think there would be any surprises, but as soon as he opened it, his eyes couldn't be more round, and it turned out to be a snake gallstone in excellent condition, with a brilliant color like sunset.

The one on the hand of the girl in the pink skirt is also an excellent snake gallstone.

The boy in Tsing Yi saw it clearly at that time, except for eighty or ninety ordinary stones, after Chen Ping'an returned to this ancestral house, there were still eleven priceless snake gallstones left in the package at that time, and then he gave them two for each person at once, which is missing four, and now he took out two more, isn't it half gone all of a sudden?

Chen Ping'an, do you really think that you are a fortune boy who has a good relationship?

Although he clenched the snake gallstone in his hand, the little boy in Tsing Yi couldn't help but remind: "Master, you give things like this, you can't save a rich family, what should you do if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future?"

The girl in the pink skirt held the "New Year's money" in both hands, lowered her head and was silent, and tears fell down her pink and fair little face.

The little boy in Tsing Yi twisted and pinched, really not vomiting or unhappy, and asked: "Master, aren't you afraid that I will eat these three snake gallstones, and my cultivation will skyrocket, but as a result, my lord, you will not be able to catch up with me in your life?"

Chen Ping'an asked rhetorically: "If you have a friend who is doing well, will you be happy?"

The boy in Tsing Yi nodded and said, "Of course I'm happy, I've made friends and brothers in my life, and they're not the kind of people who talk about it." ”

Chen Ping'an asked again: "Then if your friend is much better off than you, will you be happy?"

The boy in Tsing Yi was a little hesitant.

Chen Ping'an swallowed the melon seeds and said with a smile: "I will be happier." ”

At this moment, the boy in Tsing Yi looked a little dazed, and suddenly felt that the rivers and lakes that he had been mixing for hundreds of years did not seem to be the same as Chen Ping'an at all, was his own rivers and lakes too deep? Or was Chen Ping'an's rivers and lakes too shallow?

After Chen Ping'an said it, he didn't think much about it, just chatted casually.

However, the boy in Tsing Yi has been sullen, and the girl in the pink skirt was also a little silent after receiving the stone.

Chen Ping'an regretted a little, could it be that this New Year's money was sent wrong? Or should it be sent later?

Sad.

In this mud bottle lane, Song Jixinzhigui, Gu Cang and his mother-in-law walked, but there was one more new family, and he took the initiative to take out an ancestral deed a year ago, and ran to hand it over to the Longquan County Yamen, and the Yamen also wanted to carefully inspect it, because now the town is expensive, and I don't know how many people outside want to squeeze in, even if they can't buy a house, they are willing to rent a house here, so the county yahufang thinks that we must be cautious, don't take advantage of the loopholes for the cunning people.

But soon, Wu Yuan, who was promoted from the first county magistrate of Longquan County to the first Taishou of Longquan County, personally killed the county government and took over the matter completely.

Soon there was a young man named Cao Jun in Mud Bottle Lane, whose ancestors moved out from this place and now returned to his hometown to work hard.

Cao Jun lived in a simple place, almost never showed up, the neighbors were quite curious about this, because of the opening of the mountain to build a mansion, the local people in the town, many participated, and from the county government, the county government of a number of regulations publicity, for the world is indeed a fairy, the people of Longquan have to believe, at the beginning also guessed that Cao Jun, who is handsome and different from mortals, will not be one of the immortals, but looking back, the immortals who live in Mud Bottle Lane are too worthless.

And then today two strangers came to Mud Bottle Alley.

A rich old man with a green silk rope in his hand, and a young man with a long sword behind him, walked towards Mud Bottle Lane together, and walked in from the Gu Cang's house, so they passed through the courtyard of Song Jixin and Chen Ping'an's family, the courtyard wall was low, and the old man glanced at the boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in the pink skirt, and his smile was a little playful.

The girl in the pink skirt was a little ignorant and didn't take it seriously. The boy in Tsing Yi seems to be careless, but in fact, he prays and recites silently in his heart, won't he be some old fairy and monster again?

The young swordsman smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him: "Chen Ping'an, let's meet again." ”

Chen Ping'an stood up and opened the courtyard door, and asked with a smile: "Are you here to greet people with us?"

The young swordsman shook his head and said, "There are some things to deal with, but it's okay to say New Year's greetings by the way." ”

The old man smiled and said, "I heard that it was you who caused my family's ancestral house to trample on the roof of a mountain moving ape, and then you helped pay for it to be repaired?"

Sword cultivator Cao Jun's family elder?

Chen Ping'an's heart tightened, and he apologized: "Old man, I'm sorry, I really blame me for this incident." ”

The old man waved his hand, "I know in my heart, it's just such a dilapidated house, and if it is not repaired, it will definitely collapse by itself." What to apologize, it should be our Cao family to thank you. That guy Cao Jun wanted to steal your stuff before, right? Don't worry, I'm going to teach him a lesson...... Haha, forgot to say, Happy New Year, Happy New Year. ”

In the end, the amiable old man took the initiative to hold his fists and shook slightly, which was regarded as a New Year's greeting.

Chen Ping'an hurriedly returned the gift.

The young swordsman frowned, stepped forward quietly, just between the old man and Chen Ping'an, hugged the latter's shoulders, walked towards the courtyard gate with a smile, turned his head to the old man and said, "Mr. Cao, you go home first, and I will visit you later." ”

The old man squinted and nodded, unimpressed by this, and slowly left alone, not knowing that after a few hundred years, he finally revisited the old place.

The two painted door gods on the gate of the courtyard, after Chen Ping'an and the young swordsman crossed the threshold, the little bit of spiritual light that could not be seen by the naked eye has disappeared.

After the young swordsman entered the door, he said softly: "In the future, when walking the rivers and lakes, holding fists and saluting, remember that the man needs to hold his right hand with his left hand, which is called Jibai, otherwise it will be a taboo, and it is easy to cause the other party to touch the head." ”

Chen Ping'an suddenly looked at the young swordsman, and he seemed to be careless: "These exquisitenesses, just keep them in mind." ”

There were three small benches at home, and the girl in the pink skirt hurriedly gave up, and the young swordsman did not sit down in a hurry, and said with a smile: "On the first day of the new year, it is not like to be empty-handed, so I will give two gadgets." ”

He stretched out his hand, and there were two wordless jade plates stacked on top of his palm, but the four corners of the jade plaque were engraved with the unique cloud pattern of the Dali Song family, "They are called Taiping Nothing Cards, and they can usually be hung around the waist, which is a little useful for the two of you to settle here in the future." If you go far away, it will be more convenient to walk in the territory of Dali. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi was a little greedy, because he knew the preciousness of this thing.

The girl in the pink skirt didn't know what to do, she just looked at Chen Ping'an, whether she accepted it or not, it depended on what her master meant.

Chen Ping'an hesitated, but nodded and said, "Take it." ”

The girl in the pink skirt and the boy in Tsing Yi took the hand and bowed to the young swordsman in thanks.

The young swordsman gave the greeting gift and immediately took his leave.

Chen Ping'an didn't know how to keep it, so he had to send it to the gate of the hospital.

On the side of the Cao family's old house, the rich man stood next to the pool in the house, and on the mouth of the roof patio, there was a red fox.

After the young swordsman walked in, the old man smiled and asked, "You have a good relationship with that young man?"

The young swordsman smiled and said, "With Mr. Cao's cultivation and status, he would even make a move on a young man from a bad alley?"

Cao Xi laughed and said: "It's just a slight punishment, at most, it's just a year of bad luck entangled in the family, it's nothing, even ordinary people with a little more ancestral shade and a little more yang can afford it." Besides, don't you also get in the way and help the boy get rid of that little calamity? ”

The young swordsman shook his head and said no more.

The world is so absurd, it is also a big man who came out of Lizhu Dongtian, Xie Shi has a loyal personality, his reputation has spread all over several continents, and he is recognized as a grandmaster. On the other hand, Cao Xi has a strange personality and a bad reputation, and they all say that this person is mean and unkind, but the opportunity is too good, so he climbs all the way and is unstoppable.

But Cao Xi, a sword immortal who was born in the wild road, now chooses to stand in the same camp as Da Li, but Xie Shi wants to do something not very honorable.

Cao Jun stood up and said with a smile: "I know you, it's Xu Weak of the Mo family." I think the reason why the Wei and Jin dynasties of Aquarius have been messing around all the year round and don't like to stay in the mountains may be to learn from you when you were young. ”

The swordsman remembered the high-spirited young sword immortal in the Wind and Snow Temple, shook his head and smiled, "He didn't learn from me. ”

Cao Xi suddenly remembered something, jumped into the dry pool, turned over a bluestone slab, and there was a rusty ordinary copper coin hidden in it, this land sword immortal who was famous on a continent, laughed heartily, put away the copper coin into his sleeve, and sighed: "Good omen, good omen." ”

Cao Xi looked up at the young swordsman, "If you want me to see, the broken natal porcelain back then was the fault of your Da Li and Long Quan, which led to a mistake, but Da Li made compensation at the beginning, and the other party accepted it. In fact, it is very easy to solve, kill Xie Shi in one go, I am here, you are here, plus the saint Ruan Qiong, the three of us join forces, Xie Shi will not only lose, but he can't run away if he wants to. Xie Shi is looking for death by himself, and he can't complain about others. ”

The young swordsman asked, "Even if Xie Shi is killed, but this shattered and falling Lizhu Cave Heaven is completely destroyed, what should we do with Da Li?"

Cao Xi stood and spoke without backache, "The effect of killing a Xie Shi and knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger is too good, not inferior to creating a white jade king." ”

The young swordsman didn't talk.

Cao Xi continued to demagogue, "Aren't you Da Li going south soon? After killing Xie Shi, look at the old Wang Ba of the Ten Realms and the Upper Five Realms in the Great Sui Territory, how many will be left at that time? I bet it will definitely not exceed one hand." If I, Cao Xi, lose, and leave all the extra old Wang Ba to me to solve, how about it?"

The young swordsman was puzzled, "You have a deep hatred for Xie Shi?"

Cao Xi shook his head and said: "No, it's just a fellow countryman, and he is not a generation, he has never met, and there is no entanglement between the two ancestors." I just can't get used to Xie Shi relying on cultivation to bully Da Li, I'm too forgetful, I'm from Da Li, I don't think about the grace of parenting, and I'm still working against Da Li, this kind of person, I Cao Xi can't look at it. ”

"Fuck your stinky fart!"

The fiery red fox on the roof said a word, and sneered: "The mellow Confucian Chen family of Nanpo Suo Continent was one of the branches of the Middle Earth Divine Continent back then, and the real Chen family has always been at odds with the Taoists, and killing a thank you is the biggest bride price in the world, not to mention marrying a mellow Confucian Chen family woman to Cao Jun, or marrying another woman to Cao Xi in the Middle Earth family." ”

"You mouth. Cao Xi scolded with a smile and raised his hand and waved his sleeves.

The fiery red fox exploded with a bang and turned into powder.

It took a lot longer to regain its original appearance than it had been split by Cao Jun's flying sword.

It lifted a tile and threw it at Cao Xi, as fast as thunder, and then it turned around and ran.

Cao Xi gently caught the tile, threw it up, and threw it back to its original position.

In fact, the tile was already in pieces.

The Mo family hero, named Xu Qiao, rejected Cao Xi's suggestion, "This kind of thing is not something I can call the shots without permission. ”

Cao Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Then who can call the shots?"

Xu Miao smiled and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the vassal king Song Changjing, and the national teacher Cui Yun, just these three." ”

Cao Xi said angrily: "That's the one that comes, what does it mean that you are weak and don't just watch the show and don't make a move?" Since Xie Shi dared to come alone this time, he must have something to rely on, in case, the three of us will let him run away when the time comes, and when the time comes, give him the goal to achieve, and give him to run back to Juluzhou, when the time comes, the three of us poor worms, plus you Dali Song Clan, will all be finished!"

Xu Wan nodded and said, "It will come." ”

Cao Xi fell silent for an instant.

Because he has always liked to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, he is very afraid that Da Li will clean up Xie Shi and clean himself up again.

What's more, the Dali Song family is not a gentleman.

A real gentleman, a guy who is more powerful than him Cao Xi and Xie Shi, is already dead and can't die anymore.

Die right here.

Of course, this matter is no wonder that the Dali Dynasty is not righteous, and it is not enough to complain that the Song Emperor should be a turtle with a shrunken head.

But Cao Xi just felt that it was too unlucky and unlucky.

In addition, on the way here, he received a spy report from Da Li about Lizhu Dongtian, which mentioned the collapse and repair of his ancestral house, which made Cao Xi even more unhappy.

If it weren't for the mellow Chen clan to speak, he actually didn't want to be this Jiang Long at all.

Especially Cao Xi still hasn't figured out where Qi Jingchun's death-defying situation is, which makes him uncomfortable as soon as he enters Longquan County.

Therefore, he hopes that Xie Shi's death can seduce him, and at that time, even if it is the worst result in the conjecture, there will be the Dali Song family, the sage Ruan Qiong and the Fengxue Temple behind him, as well as the mellow Confucian Chen family behind him, and the Middle Earth family Chen family, to share the risk together.

Wealth and danger are sought.

It's the same down the hill and up the hill.

————

The Xie family's old house is in Taoye Lane, and the heirs of the family are not luxuriant, but in this generation, they have actually fallen into the middle of the family, if it weren't for the long-eyebrow boy who became Ruan Qiong's registered disciple, he would have already reached the bleak point where he needed to sell his ancestral house to make a living.

A middle-aged man began to knock on the door.

It was a young girl who opened the door and asked, "Are you?"

The man replied, "It's your ancestor." ”

The girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes seemed to be graceful, but in fact she had a pungent temperament, and suddenly said angrily: "On the first day of the new year, why do you scold people when you open your mouth? Believe it or not, I will whip you with a broom?"

The man's expression was as usual, "You go through the family tree and find the Jiazhu book, there will be a person named Xie Shi on it, and it will be me." The word 'real' is missing a little. ”

After a stick of incense, the Xie family knelt on the ground outside the family ancestral hall.

Xie Shi ignored the trembling juniors of the family, pushed open the door of the ancestral hall without saying a word, and went in to burn three incense sticks.

Then he said in a deep voice: "The one with longer eyebrows than ordinary people can come in and burn incense, and the rest of the people will go back, anyway, when the ancestors see you, they don't need you to burn incense, and they will have a belly full of anger." ”

Outside the ancestral hall, a woman with a face full of surprise and excitement burst into tears, grabbed her son's arm and covered her mouth with the other hand to prevent herself from crying.

The young man with long eyebrows took a deep breath, and after his mother let go of his hand, he stood up, trembling across the threshold of the ancestral hall, and walked towards the back step by step.

————

On the post road outside the town, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly.

The horseman was in Liu Prison, who had stopped a certain swordsman in Qidun Mountain, and in the carriage sat an elegant old man who looked like an old master, and a girl with naturally cold and sharp eyebrows.

The national teacher Cui Yun, the palace maid Zhigui.

Or is it Lao Cui Yun, and Wang Zhu?

————

In the small courtyard, the boy in Tsing Yi began to hug his head and wail again.

Why is this town under the mountain so annoying, it's only the first day of the new year, and two powerful characters who can't see the depth come running, thinking with their knees and butts, and knowing that they are the kind of terrible characters who can punch themselves to death. The boy in Tsing Yi used to think that he had seen strong winds and waves, but now that he has arrived here, he knows that the previous wind and waves are simply no better than a puddle of water in the mud bottle alley outside the door.

He began to sincerely admire Chen Ping'an, it was not easy to live to this day! Sure enough, to be able to become his master, it would not be a simple person, no wonder he was followed by such a murderous disciple at the beginning.

So the little boy in Tsing Yi grabbed Chen Ping'an's hand with tears in his eyes, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Master, I will definitely treat you better in the future." ”

Chen Ping'an pushed his head away and said with a smile: "You are most afraid of things, you are not ashamed." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi looked at the heartless stupid girl out of the corner of his eyes, feeling that he was quite embarrassed, and sat back on the bench silently and sulked.

The girl in the pink skirt is indeed bigger than him, holding the delicate and warm Taiping Nothing card, and she can't put it down.

Of course, the biggest heart is still their master Chen Ping'an.

He took out pieces of bamboo slips engraved with words and placed them on the yellow mud low wall in the middle of the two courtyards.
