Shi Rou stood up suddenly, looked up, on the second floor, the barefoot old man was holding Chen Ping'an's neck in his hand, lightly lifted it, higher than the railing, and dropped it casually, Shi Rou hurriedly caught it.

The old man said, "This guy thinks too much and sleeps too little. Let him sleep well first, and during this time, let no one bother him. ”

Shi Rou hurriedly put Chen Ping'an on the bed on the first floor, quietly withdrew, closed the door, and obediently sat on the bamboo chair at the door as the door god.

The old man walked down the bamboo building, came to the cliffside, today the clouds and mist are thick, covering the field of vision, the picture scroll is magnificent, like the wind shaking the sea tide, being in the high place of the Luoluo Mountain, as if being in a Ze country. On the left side, there is a mountain peak adjacent to Luoluo Mountain, which is alone above the sea of clouds, such as an immortal stepping on stilts, the old man waved his sleeves casually, and easily dispersed the entire sea of clouds, such as opening the door to the mountains and rivers.

Seeing this scene, Shi Rou's eyelids trembled slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her gaze.

If this is a sleeve on her immortal relics, I really don't know if my soul will completely disappear.

Cui Dongshan, who she was most afraid of before, had visited Luoluo Mountain, on the second floor, Shi Rou had never seen such a lost Cui Dongshan, the old man sat in the house and did not come out, Cui Dongshan sat in the corridor outside the door, and did not go in, but called the old man grandpa.

From that moment on, Shi Rou knew how to deal with the old man, very simply, try not to appear in the sight of the old man surnamed Cui.

The old man stopped and looked into the distance.

A huge black snake with a golden thread in its belly and four claws, from the side of the mountain gate, along the wide mountain road, quickly climbed the mountain, approached the bamboo building, the black snake did not dare to approach, Pei Qian knew that it obeyed the rules, and was not embarrassed by it, fell to the ground, bowed forward and ran, the girl in the pink skirt followed behind, like a pink butterfly flying, extremely cute. The little boy in Tsing Yi looked listless, slid off the tail of the black snake, and hung slowly behind the two guys, about to see Chen Ping'an, the little boy in Tsing Yi didn't know why, he was still a little weak-hearted.

Pei Qian arrived at the bamboo building, Shi Rou hurriedly repeated the old man's words, Pei Qian was both disappointed and worried, walked lightly at the door of the bamboo building, trying to see the scene inside the house from the cracks in the green bamboo, of course she found nothing, she still did not give up, walked around the bamboo building, and finally sat on Shi Rou's bamboo chair, arms around her chest, sulking, after the master returned to his hometown, he was not the first to see her, she, the pioneer disciple who shouldered a heavy burden, was not too broad, not too particular.

Pei Qian secretly threw a look at the girl in the pink skirt.

The girl in the pink skirt immediately understood, ran to the barefoot old man, and asked softly, "Grandpa Cui, is my master okay?"

The old man nodded and said: "It's a little troublesome, but it's not impossible to solve it, wait for Chen Ping'an to sleep enough, feed the fist, and you can get it back." ”

The girl in the pink skirt turned pale.

Hey boxing?

She knows what the situation of the old man was back then, what a tragic word.

The boy in Tsing Yi, who had been pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation, also looked worried. Poor old man, he jumped into a big fire pit before he got home. It's no wonder that this trip to the distance has to be wandered for five years before he is willing to come back, and if he is replaced, he may not dare to come back for fifty years.

Chen Ping'an slept for two days and one night before waking up, after opening his eyes, a carp sat up, walked out of the house, and found Pei Qian and Zhu Yong keeping vigil outside the door, one person and a small bamboo chair, Pei Qian leaned on the back of the chair, stretched his legs, was already asleep, and drooled. Chen Ping'an took a light step, squatted down, looked at Pei Qian, and after a while, she raised her arm, wiped her saliva indiscriminately, and continued to sleep, whispering and slurring.

Chen Ping'an stood up, motioned for Zhu Yong to follow him, and the two came to the cliff together, where a stone table engraved with a chessboard and four quaint stone benches carved with moire patterns were built.

Zhu Yong lowered his voice and laughed softly: "If Pei Qian sees the young master's appearance, he will be distressed." ”

Chen Ping'an sighed, "It's already very good, I made the worst plan at the beginning, thinking that I wouldn't be able to get out of Shujian Lake in seven or eight years." ”

Zhu Yong nodded, "Although I don't know the specific reason, some letters are exchanged, and the old slave doesn't dare to ask on paper, but it is very difficult to let the young master live like this." ”

Chen Ping'an took out two pots of Shujian Lake Wuti wine, and Zhu Yong had a pot of wine, gently bumping, Chen Ping'an leaned against the stone table, rested one arm on it, took a sip of wine, and said with emotion: "It's hard to say." ”

"What is the wind and bones, it is nothing more than being able to withstand the heavenly grinding. ”

Zhu Yong turned his head to stare at Chen Ping'an's side face, took a sip of wine, and persuaded softly: "The young master looks like now, although he is haggard, but the old slave is the person who came from the love scene, and he knows that the young master is the most pitied by the woman, and in the future, when he goes down the mountain to the town or the county town, the young master had better wear a hat and cover up one or two, otherwise be careful to repeat the mistakes of Ziyang Mansion, just to give the women on the street a few more looks, and to provoke a few romantic accounts and fat powder debts out of thin air." ”

The long-lost whiskers shoot the horse.

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and rubbed his cheeks, and said with a smile: "Are you stupid for me, or are you blind for those women?"

Zhu Yong sighed: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, young master, you just wait, when you get outside the mountain, sooner or later you will be ...... by the woman."

Chen Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand, "Stop, stop, drink your wine." ”

Zhu Yong was heartbroken, "Loyalty is against the ear!"

Chen Ping'an smiled silently, squinting into the distance by the pure moonlight that sprinkled the world.

Although he is looking to the south at the moment, Chen Ping'an's new family business is north of Luoluo Mountain.

In addition to the Niujiao Mountain, which was originally "encamped" in Baozhai, the immortal forces who had seen the opportunity and planned to jump off the "sunken ship" of Da Li, including the cinnabar mountain selected by the Xu clan of Qingfeng City, the rest are chela back, worship sword platform, Weixia Peak and Gray Meng Mountain, etc., except for the worship sword platform is located in the westernmost part, the shape is alone, and the mountain is not big, the rest is mostly the south position in the west of the mountains, just not far from Luoluo Mountain, especially the Gray Meng Mountain, covering a vast area, the previous immortal power, has invested a lot of money, coupled with the hard work of a large number of Lu family relics, has created a continuous piece of fairy mansions, like a fairyland on earth, and finally it is equivalent to half selling and half sending, and it was also given to the Dali court.

The gold and copper coins that the Song clan owed on credit in the old dragon city were matched by Wei Yan, and then Chen Ping'an used them to buy mountains, and then wrote them off, which was also refreshing.

Especially the Niujiao Mountain, which built a fairy ferry, is about to be pocketed by Chen Ping'an, but it must be temporarily named on Wei Yan's side, otherwise the name is not right, the interests are too huge, and Chen Ping'an will also be jealous of the powerful people of Da Li, but in private, this source of living water, there are fairy money flowing in it, and Chen Ping'an will share half of the dividends with Wei Yan.

Back then, he helped Gu Can's family and others grab water in the fields countless times, but he never thought that he could now guard such a "good field" with an amazing harvest.

Chen Ping'an retracted his thoughts and asked, "Zhu Yong, haven't you often talked to Cui's seniors?"

Zhu Yong smiled and shook his head, "The old-timer's fists are extremely hard, and he has already reached the end of the martial arts that our martial artists dream of, who doesn't admire it, but I don't want to disturb the senior's Qing Xiu." ”

Zhu Yong leaned back and turned his head to look at the bamboo building, "If I say so, the old-timers won't mind, right?"

There was silence and no response.

Zhu Yong said with a smile: "Except for the occasional hiking stick in hand, the old-timers traveled to the mountains, and learned from a few old masters of the Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain, and they were generally reluctant to show up. ”

Zhu Yong remembered something and said: " I was in the county town, and I accidentally found a good seedling, it was a rich daughter who moved from Dali Jinggi to Longquan, not very old, thirteen years old, and our money-losing goods, about the same age, although I have only started to learn martial arts now, I started a little late, but I barely had time, I have made it clear to her elders, now just wait for the young master to nod, I will lead her to Luoluo Mountain, and now Luoluo Mountain has built a few new mansions, in addition to our own residence, used to treat people, more than enough, and they are all silver from Dali, we don't need to pay a copper coin。 ”

Chen Ping'an nodded, now that there are more people in Luoluo Mountain, there should indeed be these shelters, but when the contract is officially signed with the Dali Rite Department and those mountains are bought, even if the few mountains leased to Ruan Qiong are removed, it seems that one person monopolizes a mountain, it is also no problem, it is really rich and rich, and Chen Ping'an will become the big landlord of Longquan County second only to Ruan Qiong, occupying the three-percent boundary of the mountains in the west。

Chen Ping'an asked curiously: "If you are willing to lead her up the mountain, of course you can, but in what capacity will you stay in Luoluo Mountain, your disciple?"

If it was Zhu Yong's first disciple in the Haoran world, Chen Ping'an was really looking forward to her martial arts climbing path.

The four people in the picture scroll of the lotus blessed land, Zhu Yong is now in the highest realm, and he is a real martial artist in the distant travel realm, although he has taken a shortcut, but deep in his heart, Chen Ping'an feels that Zhu Yong's choice seems to be eager for quick success, but it is actually the most right.

Zhu Yong shook his head and said: "The old slave is not interested in being a master for others, let her be a registered disciple of Luoluo Mountain first, and whoever likes her root bone qualification in the future can just take it." What the old slave did was nothing more than fat water not flowing into the fields of outsiders, thinking of adding popularity to the young master's Luoluo Mountain, otherwise it would be full of gods and ghosts, not very like words, and always felt that it was not conducive to feng shui. Having said that, if this is in the lotus flower blessed land, a disciple as talented as a girl is like I picked it up on the side of the road when I went to the bookstore to buy books, but in my hometown, it is estimated that the grandmaster of the rivers and lakes can make a basket of them, and they will fight for you to beat me and I will kill you, and their brains are splashing, which is very Jianghu. ”

Zhu Yong crossed Erlang's legs, pinched the wine pot of the Xianjia brewing with two fingers, shook it gently, and sighed: "It is worthy of being a vast world, and there are many talents, and it is by no means comparable to the lotus flower blessed land." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "How do you convince the girl's family? ”

Zhu Yong said with a smile: " Things are not complicated, the family, the reason why they moved to Longquan County, is that they can't get along in Gyeonggi, the girl is stubborn, the parents and elders are also hard, unwilling to bow their heads, so they provoked the local forces that should not be provoked, the old slave helped to settle the wave of chasing over the river dragon, the girl is a family home, there are two reading seeds in the family, there is no need for her to support the façade, and now she is involved in the elder brother and younger brother, she is already very guilty, thinking of being able to be in Longquan County on the side of the immortal family, without saying a word, she agreed to come down, in fact, what is going on with learning martial arts, how much suffering to suffer, now I don't know at all, she is also a silly girl, but since she can be favored by me, Naturally, there is no shortage of aura, and the young master will know at first sight that it is similar to the right side of Sui, but it is not the same. ”

Chen Ping'an snorted.

Zhu Yong is still reliable in doing things.

Zhu Yong suddenly turned his head and roared, "Losing money and goods, your master is going out again, and he is still sleeping?!"

Pei Qian fell down with the bamboo chair, and in a daze, he saw the familiar figure and rushed over, but as soon as he saw Chen Ping'an's appearance, he immediately burst into tears like rain droplets, wrinkled a face like black charcoal, the corners of his mouth were pressed down, and he couldn't speak, how did the master become like this? So black and thin, what should she do? Chen Ping'an sat up straight and said with a smile: "Why have you been in Luoluo Mountain for three years, and I haven't seen you grow up? Why, can't you eat enough? Have you patronized and played? Have you forgotten to copy books?"

Pei Qian hugged Chen Ping'an, which was a cry, very sad.

She should have gone with Master back then, with her taking care of Master's diet and daily life, no matter how clumsy she was, there would be someone who could accompany Master to talk and relieve boredom on the side of Shujian Lake.

Chen Ping'an glared at Zhu Yong, who was gloating on the side.

Zhu Yong lifted the wine jug, drank a big sip of punishment wine, and then took advantage of Chen Ping'an's efforts to comfort Pei Qian softly, Zhu Yong carried the small jug with half a pot of black wine left, got up and left.

It seems to leave the moonlight and time to the pair of masters and apprentices who have reunited after a long absence.

Pei Qian finally cried his nose and sat on the stone bench on the side.

The height is slightly taller, but it is not obvious, and the average thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, at this time, her body should be like a willow draw, and her face will grow.

But Pei Qian seems to be still the black charcoal girl on the occasion of the separation in Red Candle Town.

She chattered and told her master about her "great achievements" in Longquan County over the years Every year in the first month and the Qingming Festival, I will go to the grave to take care of the two shops in the Dragon Lane, and in addition to copying books every day, I also have to hold a walking stick, ride the black snake, and conscientiously inspect the Luoluo Mountain Boundary to prevent thieves from sneaking into the bamboo building, and I must practice the six-step pile walking pile taught by the master every day, the sword qi stops eighteen stops, and the female crown sister taught her the white ape back swordsmanship and drag the knife technique, not to mention that she has to perfect the mad demon swordsmanship that can reach the peak with only a little bit...... In short, she is very busy, she is not fooling around at all, she is not doing her job, and she has a conscience!

As for the little things such as dogs, geese, and shuttlecocks, she feels that there is no need to talk to the master, as the master's founding disciple, these heart-wrenching deeds and feats are her own affairs, and there is no need to show them off.

Chen Ping'an patiently listened to Pei Qian's words and asked with a smile: "What didn't Senior Cui teach you?"

Pei Qian's eyes rolled slightly, shook his head vigorously, and said pitifully: "The old man has a high vision, he can't look down on me, Master, you don't know, the old man is very human, as a senior in the rivers and lakes, he is more immortal than the monks on the mountain, it really makes me admire, alas, it's a pity that I couldn't get into the eyes of the old man, and I couldn't let the old man give me a point or two on my crazy demon swordsmanship. ”

Probably afraid that Chen Ping'an would not believe it, Pei Qian, who had already curried favor on both sides of his words, high-fived him with a fist, his voice was crisp, and he was very annoyed and said: "It's me who has embarrassed the master!"

Chen Ping'an bent forward and smashed his fingers on Pei Qian's forehead, so painful that Pei Qian covered his head and gasped.

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "If you can't endure hardship, let's be honest, what kind of vision is high, who are you bluffing?"

Pei Qian rubbed his slightly reddened forehead, his eyes widened, and he said with a stunned expression: "Master, didn't you learn the immortal mind contemplation technique when you go out this time? Master, what's the matter with you, how can you learn great skills no matter where you go! This still makes me, a big disciple, chase after Master? Can I only eat dust behind Master's ass for the rest of my life......

Chen Ping'an twisted the sycophant's ear, "Yo, keep making it up, I'll see how long you can make it up." ”

Pei Qian grinned, but as soon as he saw the master's face, he wanted to cry again, and he didn't even have the intention of joking with the master, and lowered his head.

Chen Ping'an sighed, patted the little head, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you a good news, soon the mountains of Gray Meng Mountain, Cinnabar Mountain and Cerachia Back will all belong to your master, as well as the fairy ferry port of Niujiao Mountain, and the master accounts for half of it, and you will be able to follow all kinds of characters who come and go in the future, and you will be so bold that you can collect toll money." ”

Pei Qian was not very interested, and sighed.

Chen Ping'an clasped his hands in his sleeves, and continued to look at the night view south of Luoluo Mountain, and heard that when the weather is fine, as long as the eyesight is good enough, you can see the outline of Red Candle Town and the Embroidery River.

Pei Qian lay on the stone table, his fingers gently wiped along the carved lines of the chessboard, and looked at the master intently.

The two were speechless.

After getting the news of Zhu Yong, the boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in the pink skirt came together from the newly built mansion, Chen Ping'an turned his head, smiled and beckoned, let them sit down, and with Pei Qian, they just got together at a table.

The girl in the pink skirt ran quickly, saluted Chen Ping'an, and said respectfully: "Master." ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi also looked good, bowed, raised his head, and had a bright smile, "Master, your old man is finally willing to come back, and you don't see a few little masters with you?"

The girl in the pink skirt glared angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The boy in Tsing Yi dug his nostrils, sat on the stone bench opposite Chen Ping'an, and learned Pei Qian to lie on the table, and said with a puzzled expression: "Master, are you wearing a human-skin mask to walk the rivers and lakes? ”

Chen Ping'an smiled: "This means that you don't want red envelopes?"

The boy in Tsing Yi raised his head and looked left and right, "I never thought that after taking a closer look, the old man has become more and more manly." ”

Chen Ping'an scratched his head, Luoluo Mountain?

Chen Ping'an then took out three things from the nearby objects, the Nine Palace Treasure Box given by the old monk at the ferry port of Qianqi Country, a piece of old dragon cloth rain jade pendant compensated by the Fu family of the Old Dragon City, and only a fox skin beauty talisman paper left by his side, which were given to Pei Qian, the Tsing Yi boy and the girl in the pink skirt respectively.

As soon as Pei Qian opened it, he saw a dazzling array of small objects, which were exquisite and chic, and the key was the large number.

The boy in Tsing Yi hesitated, but still took the priceless old dragon cloth rain pendant.

The girl in the pink skirt twisted the fox skin talisman paper and couldn't put it down.

Chen Ping'an explained to her with a smile: "In the future, you don't have to work alone to clean the house, after infusing the aura, you can let a talisman puppet help, and the spiritual intelligence is no different from that of an ordinary girl, and you can also chat with you." ”

The girl in the pink skirt got up again and bowed to Chen Ping'an to thank her, meticulous.

Chen Ping'an couldn't stop it.

The boy in Tsing Yi suddenly said, "Isn't it more valuable?"

Chen Ping'an quipped: "The sun is coming out in the west?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi sighed and thought for a while, "I can't accept it, I happened to hear about the rarity of this kind of jade pendant in the old Dragon City, and it is not a snake gallstone involving the Great Dao, no matter how much I give me, I will not refuse to come......"

The boy in Tsing Yi put the jade pendant on the table.

Seeing that his eyes were firm, Chen Ping'an did not insist on asking him to accept this gift, nor did he take it back into his sleeve, picked up the black wine, and took a sip of wine, "I heard that your brother of the water god of the imperial river has come to our Longquan County?"

The boy in Tsing Yi drooped his head, "Not really." ”

Chen Ping'an said: "Don't feel stupid, it's your water god brother who is not smart enough." If he comes again in the future, he can do whatever he wants, if he doesn't want to see him, just say a place to retreat, let Pei Qian help you stop it, if you are still willing to see him, you can continue to entertain him with good wine, if you don't have money to buy wine, whether it is money or wine, you can borrow it from me. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi had a strange face, "I thought you would persuade me not to see him." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Friends in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, it's a pity to scatter, but friends continue to do it, some help, you can't help, just tell people directly, it's really a friend, and I will understand you." ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi muttered: "Mixing the rivers and lakes, telling my brother that I can't do it alone, that's not arrogant." ”

As soon as the boy in Tsing Yi said this, he became even more empty-hearted.

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Okay, as long as it's related to money, even if you still want to be on the side of the Water God Brothers, slap your swollen face and become fat, if you can't do it, you have to say okay, it doesn't matter, you can come to my side to borrow money when the time comes, and keep you as the arrogant and heroic second leader of Yujiang back then." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi was completely stunned, and he didn't care about calling the master, so he called him by his name and said: "Chen Ping'an, did you knock out your brain on this trip?"

Chen Ping'an sat there quietly, his hands clasped in his sleeves, and the breeze was blowing, "One day, when you figure it out for yourself, your brother is no longer a brother, even if your friends can't do it, you can at least have a clear conscience and think that you have never been sorry for your brother." In Luoluo Mountain, it's not that we can't eat, so the people in the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes, as long as there is still wine to drink, what is the money? You don't have it, I have it. You don't have much, I have a lot. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi grabbed the old dragon cloth rain pendant, wiped his face, said nothing, and ran away.

Pei Qian and the girl in the pink skirt looked at each other.

Chen Ping'an actually had some words, but he didn't say them to the boy in Tsing Yi.

No matter what, Chen Ping'an didn't want the boy in Tsing Yi to be too disappointed in the rivers and lakes he missed.

Wei Yan suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff and coughed lightly, "Chen Ping'an, I have news for you." ”

Chen Ping'an stood up, "What do you say?"

Wei Yan pointed to the side of the mountain gate, "There is a good girl who visits Luoluo Mountain at night." ”
