On the way back to the north.

Chen Ping'an stopped his horse on the top of an unknown mountain, because he planned to find a nearby Xianjia ferry and take a ferry back to Longquan County, Dali, so he took advantage of the last opportunity of the sun to dry up those bamboo slips that had not been turned out for a long time, including the bamboo pieces of the descendants of Qingshen Mountain in Qidun Mountain, as well as the purple bamboo material of the ordinary mountain green bamboo and the island of Shujian Lake.

The nearby mountains are undulating, but there is an ancient tea horse road for merchants in the mountains, and after entering the mountain, there are still some merchants who are in a hurry, hurrying back and forth.

Chen Ping'an deliberately chose a fork in the road, walked a few miles of ridge road, and came to this mountain top to dry bamboo slips.

turned out all the bamboo slips, Chen Ping'an squatted aside, stunned.

The thought of being in so much debt is a pain in my head.

Chen Ping'an took a sip of wine, continued to comfort himself, and returned to Longquan County, under the operation of Wei Yan, he was a big landlord, and he took out a little bearing, a little foreign debt, what is it.

Chen Ping'an rubbed his cheeks, thinking that it was this reason, money is something outside the body, and a gentleman has a way to use it...... Chen Ping'an slapped himself on the cheek, he really thought he was a good money boy, didn't he?

Then Chen Ping'an turned his head to look, an old Confucian who had met in the middle of the road before, panting and standing in the distance, seeing himself, seemed to be afraid of meeting a madman, and was about to turn around and go down the mountain.

At that time, Chen Ping'an rode over the figure of the old Confucian scholar and the scholar, looking at the footsteps and breathing, they were all ordinary people, of course, if the other party was a master and hid it deeply, Chen Ping'an would not intend to explore.

The young scholar who was carrying the burden on his shoulders did not come with the old Confucian scholar, perhaps because the old Confucian wanted to climb the heights alone, and after expressing his heart, he would immediately return and continue his journey.

Of course, it could also be a hidden monk, dressed in the cloak of Confucianism, who regarded him Chen Ping'an as a fat sheep, and wanted to come here to kill people and sell goods?

Chen Ping'an doesn't care.

The old Confucian seemed to have gone through a battle between heaven and man in his heart, but he still made up his mind, came to Chen Ping'an more than ten steps away, bent down to look at those bamboo slips, looked at them for a moment, was relieved, turned his head and asked with a smile: "Young man, is you traveling to study alone?"

Chen Ping'an thought about it, nodded and smiled: "Sort of, I want to walk more." ”

"Well, yes, yes, travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books, today's future generations, buying books and reading are becoming more and more labor-saving, and the more unbearable the hardships are. ”

The old Confucian nodded first, and then asked, "Don't you mind if I walk around and take a few more looks at your precious bamboo slips?"

Chen Ping'an smiled: "The old gentleman just watchs." ”

Soon Chen Ping'an regretted a little, the old man not only looked at the bamboo slips, rummaged through and picked up, but also liked to ask this and that, and there were a lot of questions, this sentence and this, where did it come from, sometimes Chen Ping'an said the name of the book and the master of the sentence, the old man was even more interested, and asked Chen Ping'an to know the scholarly roots and purpose of the book, Chen Ping'an answered a little hard, the old Confucian language was not very polite, some Chen Ping'an was not familiar with, The old man is extremely familiar with the knowledge in his heart, and the latter has to teach Chen Ping'an a good lesson, so Chen Ping'an has to nod frequently and humbly accept the old man's comments.

The old Confucian was really not afraid of trouble, and the young scholar shouted twice in the distance, but the old man refused, and finally the scholar simply put down his burden and sat there alone with a long sigh.

After more than an hour, the old man finally finished reading the bamboo slips and asked questions.

The old man suddenly smiled and asked, "Young man, I especially like twenty bamboo slips, can you give them to me?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head decisively, "No." ”

I don't know you old gentleman well.

Chen Ping'an has just made up his mind that he will not be the good money boy in the near future.

The old man was a little anxious, "You are a person, you have read so many books and truths, how can you be so petty, the scholars in the world are a family, what is it to send a few bamboo slips." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's not a coincidence, the old gentleman is a knowledgeable reader, I don't count it now, besides, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, it's also the truth in the book, the old gentleman don't have to be strong, otherwise he won't be very good." ”

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Ping'an, "Good boy, read some crooked reasoning, just read it, since you have pressed me with such a big truth as 'do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself', I have no choice but to pinch my nose and say, 'A gentleman does not take the favor of others', to comfort myself." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled but did not speak.

The old man obviously didn't give up, and seeing that Chen Ping'an didn't say anything at all, he had to ask cheekily again: "If you really don't want to give me it?" If twenty bamboo slips are too much, twelve will also be successful. ”

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Old man, I really can't send it, these bamboo slips and the content on them are of great significance to me, and they are to be taken home and treasured. ”

The old man exhaled angrily: "That means that you are reading a dead book, and the truth is really going to be read into your stomach, where do you still need to look at bamboo slips." ”

Chen Ping'an was amused, damn you, the old gentleman, the truth is one after another, in the final analysis, don't you want to take twenty-four bamboo slips for nothing, and get them in your pocket? Chen Ping'an has already discovered that among the forty-five bamboo slips that the old gentleman loves the most, most of them are the green bamboo of Qingshen Mountain and the fairy purple bamboo of Zizhu Island, once Chen Ping'an nodded and agreed, the old gentleman directly took away the bamboo slips that lingered in the aura, if you really like the text content above, it's just that, but if you have a little eyesight, The monks who coveted the spiritual bamboo itself, did Chen Ping'an still turn his face and deny it, and couldn't get the bamboo slips back?

Seeing that Chen Ping'an's attitude was very resolute, the old man had to give up, muttering and complaining.

Chen Ping'an began to pack up the bamboo slips, and saw that the old gentleman seemed to have slipped away from his hand, and his face was full of distress.

Seeing that Chen Ping'an was a little unbearable, twenty-four bamboo slips were not negotiable, and twelve were not good, otherwise he would send out six bamboo slips, what does it mean? Otherwise, the old gentleman spent more than an hour here, Chen Ping'an was a little tired, presumably this old gentleman was not much better, even if he coveted those bamboo slips, his heart was not tired, but he was a lot older, and he was tired of squatting for half a day and nagging for half a day. Moreover, the old gentleman's stomach is full of knowledge, and in his conversation, he can't really do it. It's just that I'm obsessed with money, and this is a fellow believer with myself.

The old man had done everything he could, and hurriedly "kindly" dissuaded Chen Ping'an: "Young man, the sun is so big, don't be in a hurry to put it away, take advantage of the good weather, and then dry it, the bamboo slips are afraid of insects and flooding...... If you're worried that if you start again, you won't have time to clean up, I'll come, I can help, you're doing this, I'm sorry for these bamboo slips and so many beautiful words!"

Chen Ping'an was a little convinced, stopped his movements, and asked with a smile: "Old man, let me ask a somewhat offensive question, okay?"

The old man shook his head and asked tentatively, "Then don't ask, right? ”

Chen Ping'an asked, "Does the old gentleman still want to give away a few bamboo slips?"

The old gentleman said categorically: "Just ask!"

Chen Ping'an wiped his face, always feeling that he had fallen into the pit.

The old man secretly took out a green bamboo slip on the ground beside him, and murmured: "The soil is a mountain, and the wind and rain are prosperous." That's a good point...... It's a little bit of a bad carving, powerful and airless, unbearable, and a broom to cherish itself, it's better to give it away, and re-engrave ......"

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Old man, my ears are sharp, and I can hear it." ”

The old gentleman looked stunned, "I didn't say anything, how can you hear me?" Young man, are you a fairy on the mountain, can you hear my heart?"

Chen Ping'an looked at the old gentleman's expression, and that look.

The thief is sincere.

Chen Ping'an was a little strange, was he really just an old Confucian passing by.

However, it is not surprising that the monks of the Confucian Academy, in this area, are indeed scarce compared to Shujian Huye Xiu and the mountain immortal masters.

And for more than an hour, without revealing the slightest clue, I'm afraid that a gentleman of the academy can't do it, Chen Ping'an doesn't think that the saint of Guanhu Academy has the leisure time to joke with himself.

The old gentleman said with a regretful face: "You don't have to ask about the warmth and coldness of people, and I hate myself if I don't touch the book with my hand." ”

Chen Ping'an pretended not to hear.

The old gentleman said angrily: "Young man, what about the ears before?!"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, looked up at the sky, "Old man, I admit defeat, you go pick up the bamboo slips by yourself, I still have to hurry up, but remember which book slip you picked, you don't need to tell me, I'm afraid I can't help but regret it." ”

The old Confucian asked, "Twenty-four?"

Chen Ping'an nodded, "It can be less, not more." ”

The old Confucian snorted, and Lao Huai said with relief: "Yes, young man, you have to be more angry, it should have been like this a long time ago, it is difficult to buy an inch of time, you see, how much time we have wasted here, is it not more valuable than a few bamboo slips?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the old gentleman is right." ”

In addition to the bamboo slip in his hand, the old gentleman began to get up, and went around to select the rest of the bamboo slips he liked, deliberately grinding.

Chen Ping'an suddenly coughed.

The old gentleman pretended to be deaf.

Chen Ping'an had to smile bitterly: "Old man, with the bamboo slip in your hand, it's almost thirty." Since you are a scholar, can you talk about some credit?"

The old gentleman suddenly realized, put the last bamboo slip into his sleeve, and the position where the old man was standing was a little far away from Chen Ping'an, and he said a few words politely and implicitly, and left.

When he arrived at the scholar's side, the old Confucian hurriedly urged: "Let's go, hurry up!"

One old and one young, with oiled soles on their feet, running fast.

Chen Ping'an can roughly be sure at this time that he has really met a "master".

Chen Ping'an smiled, silently put away all the remaining bamboo slips alone, and then led the horse down the mountain, came to the ancient tea horse road, and continued to ride the horse slowly.

Chen Ping'an was on horseback and took a nap.

I don't know it.

An old gentleman was leading a horse for him.

The old gentleman asked with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, it is a very good thing for a person to build bridges and pave roads in the mountains on the road of his heart." So is it possible that future generations can also walk along the bridge road and go through the difficulties of their lives?"

Chen Ping'an still didn't know it, but he had already spoken from the bottom of his heart, and slowly said: "Old man, I'm just a careful bookkeeper, not a teacher, I don't dare to think about it." ”

After that, there is a question and answer.

"Have you ever conceded defeat in this questioning game?"

"Of course I lost. ”

"So disappointed?"

"I'm a little disappointed in myself, I didn't do well enough, but I'm not so disappointed in the world. ”

"That's right. ”

After that, there was "small talk".

The old gentleman said a little off-topic, thinking of where to go.

"Chen Ping'an" on horseback listened.

"Taoist doctrine, especially what the Taoist ancestor said, heh, the wisdom of the people has not been opened, or the wisdom of the people has been opened, and the two most extreme ways of the world can be implemented, so as to hope that it can truly become the main vein of all learning in the world. Therefore, the Taoist family is highly educated, and the Taoism of the Taoist ancestor must be even more unreasonable, but unfortunately, the threshold is too high. ”

Chen Ping'an was speechless.

That's right......

Forget it, let's just think of it as the old master figured it out himself. Listen to it, it's not a bad thing, don't talk back, don't say anything no.

Chen Ping'an didn't want to quarrel with anyone.

He really doesn't have that heart for the time being.

If you've eaten four cheap and high-quality meat buns in Lutong City, you might be able to try it.

"The backs of the sages are getting farther and farther away, as descendants, just following them and looking at them from a distance, how will you feel Chen Ping'an?"

"I only feel that the mountains are upright, and if there is a real opportunity in the future, I will walk on the same road with them, even if it is just to look at the backs of the gentlemen from afar, I should feel ...... With honor. ”

"Good!"

The old gentleman let go of the horse's reins, and the young scholar who carried the burden in the distance behind him was covered in glazed brilliance and uncertainty.

Chen Ping'an, on horseback, continued to ride slowly in the "dream", and walked farther and farther on the ancient tea horse road.

The old gentleman stopped on the road, and his body was as ethereal, as a cloud of smoke.

When Chen Ping'an made a stirring on horseback, he suddenly realized that it was late at night, and one person and one rider had already walked out of the mountains and came to a river.

————

Dali Dynasty, the twelfth year of Yongjia, at the time of the spring equinox.

When the spring came, Su Gaoshan, Cao Yu's third Dali iron cavalry into the battlefield, Zhu Ying Dynasty began to retreat on several fronts, the capital was besieged, Zhu Ying Dynasty's king Yuxi, Taimiao Divine Lord, is about to be covered with dust, only in the evening.

However, the vassal king Song Changjing did not enter the territory of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, and in the spring breeze on this day, the mighty Mojia organ giant boat swept over the territory of the Zhu Ying Dynasty and continued to the south.

Song Changjing stood at the bow of the main ship, condescending, overlooking the earth, constantly scattered sword cultivation, unwilling to survive, the sword rose, to this huge "fleet" that has never appeared in the history of Aquarius, launched an attack, and fell one by one without suspense, like the belated sound of firecrackers in the alley to welcome the spring, and like the crane on the mountain wailing, cutting through the sky, so that every Zhu Ying people who saw this scene on the land and heard the sad sound were sad.

Song Changjing was still wearing the old fox fur, when Xu Weak's side branch of the Mo family chose to bet on Da Li, in fact, he did two things, one was to join forces with the Yin and Yang family to create the extremely arrogant imitation Bai Yujing, in addition, Da Li annexed all the wealth including the Lu Dynasty, especially the "road money" of Lizhu Dongtian In addition, there are all the major treasury seizures all the way south, all used to build these Nandu flying boats, dignified Li, these years, the national strength is not fake, in fact, every year is beyond the means, even so, it is still a lot of credit owed to the Mo family, especially when the main vein of the Mo family selected Da Li, spending money is even more water, but not the rattling and flowing of the small river, but like the big desecration of the flowing water, the water is deep and silent, there may not be a sound, the treasury is empty.

For Da Li, especially for the household department, this is a kind of courage, but also ability, why does the national teacher Cui Yun look at the household department Shangshu with admiration? Even he Song Changjing and the entire military are willing to have respect for the household officials, the root of which lies in this, of course, when the iron cavalry goes to the household department to ask for military salaries, no one will show mercy, crying father and calling mother, pretending to be poor one is more familiar than the other, Song Changjing looked at this in his eyes, and did not feel that there was any problem, Da Li's civil and military officials, quarreling and quarreling, In the process of bumps and bumps, as well as the younger generation of scholars, the pen from Rong and the children of the border pass have entered the officialdom, and the civil and military boundaries in the Song temple are constantly blurred, which is a good thing.

As for the Ministry of Works, which has the closest relationship with the monks of the Mo family, it is the behind-the-scenes hero who can't be bypassed.

On the contrary, it was the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials with the highest status in the future, once they were rewarded for meritorious deeds in the future, it would be more embarrassing, so in the matter of Dali Xinbeiyue, as well as the alliance with the Great Sui and the envoy to the Great Sui, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would spare no effort to show their heads, no way, the farther away from the battlefield now, the Dali Temple in the next hundred years, will inevitably lose its confidence, and its voice will not be loud, and it is even very likely to be eaten up and infiltrated by the remaining six Yamen.

After all, the Yamen of the Dali Criminal Department still has made achievements in the two matters of espionage and entrapment of monks, which should not be underestimated.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites, now that there are some small moves, I am afraid that when everyone is expanding their territory, only they, the most respected yamen of the six departments of Dali in the past, fell into the dust, and became a clear water yamen, with only cold benches in it, how can they spit out the old and accept the new, and sit firmly in the high position of the noble and real power of the first department of Dali, how can they be a new year and a new atmosphere every year?

There is only one official left who is noisy, because the old lady of the relevant family is in charge, no matter how noisy his people are behind closed doors, they still have rules and regulations when they go out.

Even if the Ministry of Rites is shouting vigorously to demand that the Taiping Nothing Affair card is a matter, it must be included in the Ministry of Rites from the recommendation, inquest, issuance, recording files, and evaluation, so that the Criminal Department, which was originally responsible for about half of the duties, will be completely delegated, and the old man of the Guan family is just making paste, not expressing his position, just dragging it, and in the end, he even took out the clumsy means of taking leave due to illness. The old fox is really getting older, the thicker his skin, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who is one generation shorter than the old man, even if he is half of the protégé disciple of the old man, it is said that he is so angry that he complained in the palace forbidden duty room, saying that the old man also relied on the old man and betrayed the old.

Dali officialdom is lively and busy, and all the yamen have actually made a lot of jokes.

Yichi Lane and Qi'er Street in the capital, in the first month of this year, are going back and forth to pay New Year's greetings, and they move around frequently.

Song Changjing doesn't care much about these officialdom of "Chunjiang Plumbing", under the general trend, it is human nature, as long as he doesn't get too angry and doesn't cross the line too much, he won't care, in fact, he doesn't need to be a battlefield martial artist to worry about these messy affairs.

Because Song Changjing had to admit that the Da Li Iron Horse was able to go south smoothly and steadily, and the embroidered tiger was a great achievement.

A faint rainbow light exploded on the ground, and a young sword cultivator hid between the mountains, as if he had spotted Song Changjing, a big barbarian who looked like a "big official", the sword light was like a white line, drawing an arc, stabbing Song Changjing, and the flying sword was full of grief and indignation in the spirit of seeing death as home.

Song Changjing waved his hand, signaling those military monks who were among the likes of the Earth Immortals not to be hindered, the weak flying sword of a Six Realms sword cultivator, did it tickle a Ten Realms pure martial artist?

With a punch in his hand, Song Changjing smashed the natal flying sword back to the ground, and just fell into the ground beside the young sword cultivator, the pale sword cultivator was shaky, still trying his best to stand firm, looking at the man on the bow of the boat whose strength was beyond imagination.

The flying boat swept through the sky, and the young sword cultivator no longer had the strength to make a sword, so he sat on the ground,

After that, the Mo family's flying boat, like a swarm of locusts, deliberately flew over the top of Nanyue Mountain in the Zhu Ying Dynasty.

Thousands of sword cultivators with mortal death in their hearts met the enemy together with the revered Nanyue deity.

There were more than ten sword boats in the ferry, and the flying swords fell to the earth like rain.

In the sky and on the earth, the two flying swords were connected like a rain curtain, and the sword boat flying sword that the Mo family spent countless immortal money to build, and the natal flying sword of sword cultivation, the jade was burned.

Occasionally, the natal flying sword became a fish that slipped through the net, and was recruited by the local people of Dali and the Yuan Infant and the Earth Immortal Monks, who successively sacrificed magic weapons, and broke them one by one, and the sky above Nanyue showed a dazzling colorful glass color, just like the legendary Heavenly Court Wonderland.

The golden body of the mountain god, holding a sword qi giant sword that was gathered by the unique secret techniques of the royal family of the dynasty, slashed towards the ferry where Song Changjing was, but was shattered by Song Changjing's punch, and another punch shattered the golden body of Nanyue Zhengshen, Song Changjing finally stood on the roof of Nanyue Temple, and Nanyue Zhengshen, who temporarily lost his golden body, was going to reshape the golden body with the accumulation of thousands of years of incense, and fight this person again.

Song Changjing said: "It's almost enough, Da Li has no intention of killing you all, and the sword cultivation under the earth immortals will all go down the mountain, and they will not be blamed for the past." Earth Immortal Monks, those who are willing to surrender, can follow this king to the south, if they are not willing to surrender, they will stay on Nanyue Mountain honestly, I can guarantee that even if some of them settle accounts after the autumn, they will not kill indiscriminately, everyone has the opportunity to break the wealth and eliminate disasters, and will ensure that you Earth Immortal Sword Cultivators are the foundation of their lives, as for the external objects, most of them will be used as military expenses for Da Li. ”

The top of Nanyue Mountain is silent.

Song Changjing swept away, and violently collapsed most of the main hall of Nanyue, and smashed an earth immortal sword cultivator who tried to connect the rest of the great sword cultivators and swore to resist the Great Li barbarians with one punch, along with his body and Jin Dan, leaving only the Yin God and the natal primordial infant with the decay of the meteorology.

If a monk looks up from the foot of the mountain, he can see a fairy mansion near the top of the majestic Nanyue, turned into ruins, raising dust, like a large yellow cloud around the top of the mountain.

Song Changjing returned to the temple on the top of the mountain, nodded to the god Nanyue who was standing in the square, and signaled the interest of the Nanyue Temple, and he Song Changjing understood it.

Song Changjing rose from the ground and returned to the ferry.

This god of the Zhu Ying Dynasty had complicated eyes, and finally bowed down to the incomparable Dali vassal king, many young sword cultivators, until this moment, they were shocked to realize that from beginning to end, the mountain formation had not been opened.

It is not only that this god himself is afraid of death, afraid of the road being cut off, but also afraid of stubborn resistance, the entire Nanyue and more than 1,000 sword cultivators died tragically, the reason for this ambush is naturally that all sword cultivators from all sides generously went to death, and did not hesitate to martyr the country with swords, but also had many selfish plans, such as he, the god of Nanyue, the reason why he agreed to sword cultivation to climb the mountain, was to hope that the old master, Both sides of the new lord have an explanation, so that in the future of this land of death, after losing the title of Nanyue, they will be abused countless times, and the incense will wither, but because of today's war, they can win some praise for themselves, and they can also save some trouble for Da Li, and try to win the throne of the mountain god such as the head of Da Li in the future.

In the chaotic world of Aquarius, Zhu Ying is obviously going again, and he always wants to find a way out for himself.

Song Changjing returned to the bow of the boat, stretched out his hand and put his hand on the railing where the aura was slowly circulating.

————

Shujian Lake, the residence of the Fan family in Chishui City.

A guest visited and handed over a yellow post, saying that he wanted to see General Guan Yiranguan.

The porter did not dare to slack off.

Now the four garrison cities, the rank and authority of the four great Li people, among which Chishui City Guan Yiran, in the last year, gradually improved his status, vaguely becoming the leading figure, the other three, often need to come to Chishui City to discuss matters, and Guan Yiran never needs to leave Chishui City, a few traces, enough to explain everything.

Even the statement that Guan Yiran is actually Su Gaoshan's fast son-in-law has come out, with a nose and eyes.

In addition, the porter always felt that one of the young men among the visitors was somewhat familiar, but he was wearing a gray cotton robe, and his face was thin, and he did not recognize it.

Soon the porter led the three to meet the general Guan who had an official office in Fan's house.

The three guests were all carrying a large bamboo box.

Guan Yiran, who had already taken off the armor of the monks in the army, stood under the eaves outside a row of simple houses in the government office, and was a little surprised.

After waiting for a long time for a drink, he didn't wait, but he waited for a guy he didn't like very much, Gu Can.

Regarding Gu Can's behavior in Shujian Lake, Guan Yiran naturally didn't like it, not only because of his personal temperament, but also because of the subtle edification of the family. But since he is a friend of that person, Guan Yiran will not be closed. A friend's friend may not be a friend, but this bit of face, Guan Yiran still has to give it.

Now in Shujian Lake, where the main force of the Dali Iron Cavalry has been evacuated, the young Guan Yiran is actually the real monarch of the rivers and lakes, holding the power of life and death of tens of thousands of wild cultivators, and even more worthy of the name than Liu Zhimao of Qingxia Island back then.

Gu Can, who looked calm, Zeng Ye, who was trembling, and Ma Duyi, who was also worried in his heart, visited Guan Yiran together.

The two sides walked forward almost at the same time, standing in the courtyard, Guan Yiran smiled and said, "You are Gu Can, is there something wrong?"

Gu Can smiled and took out a pot of wine, the osmanthus brewed by Lao Longcheng, handed it to Guan Yiran, and said with a smile: "Chen Ping'an asked me to bring a pot of wine to General Guan, saying that it was owed to the general." ”

Guan Yiran didn't refuse, took the pot of wine, and just smiled angrily: "The wine has arrived, but the people have not arrived, what's the matter." ”

Guan Yiran immediately laughed at himself: "Compared with the arrival of the person, the wine has not arrived, it seems that it is still better?"

Guan Yiran laughed to herself.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were relieved, it seems that this young and promising general has a really good relationship with Mr. Chen.

Guan Yiran suddenly asked, "Gu Can, do you know why Chen Ping'an asked you to deliver wine?"

Gu Can nodded and said: "I know, if I want to make a familiar face on General Guan's side, even if I can't take care of one or two, as long as General Guan has a drink, then I can still have less trouble when I return to Qingxia Island this time." ”

Guan Yiran smiled and said: "You're not stupid, why were you so arrogant and domineering before, and you didn't care about your head?"

Gu Can said calmly: "I used to be ignorant, and I always felt that everyone was stupid, but now I don't dare." ”

Guan Yiran nodded and said: "Okay, then that's it, in the future, you can find me to accommodate small things, if it's a big thing, don't come to this official office to find yourself boring, I really have a mediocre impression of you." ”

Gu Can nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Gu Can is here to thank General Guan first, there are really small things that need to worry about the general, don't dare to say anything else, now that he is in debt, there are too many places that need to be expensed, but a pot of wine will still be brought." ”

Guan Yiran glanced at Gu Can, didn't speak, and nodded, "I'm busy with official business, so I won't entertain you." ”

Gu Can said goodbye and left.

Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi followed and turned around and walked out of the Fan family's mansion.

Walking on the streets of Chishui City, Ma Duyi complained a little, "I'm not very old, but I'm a big official." ”

Gu Can didn't care, shook his head and said, "Being able to see us shows that the shelf is not big enough." The two major events at the end of this year and the middle of next year are indispensable to deal with this General Guan, and if Miss Ma is not happy to come to the official office here, you can go shopping with Zeng Ye on Ape Crying Street. ”

Ma Duyi didn't refuse, and was a little apprehensive, "The official spirit here is too heavy, especially the two Da Limen gods posted on the gate of the Fan family, their eyes are not good, I don't want to come here to suffer." ”

Zeng Ye nodded vigorously, "I also think that looking at my eyes, it's not very friendly, there's no way, I'm a ghost cultivator, I didn't stop me from letting in, I'm already surprised." ”

Gu Can took them to rent a ferry that is now part of the official Da Li, whether it is a monk or a dignitary who enjoys the scenery, he must submit his household registration at the ferry, and only after passing the inspection can he enter and exit Shujian Lake, this is the new rule. However, if you have a Taiping Nothing to do card issued by Da Li, whether it is high or low, there is no need for this, the ferry can also take the initiative to provide a pan lake ferry free of charge, but it is just such a huge Shujian Lake, there are only a handful of earth immortal monks with this honor, Su Scales Island Tian Lake Jun, Qingxia Island first class worship Yu Hui, Huangli Island Dixian couple, so far there is no such treatment, it can be seen that even if it is a piece of the lowest rank of the Taiping Nothing card, how valuable it is.

Recently, there are two pieces of news that have spread all over Shujian Lake and shaken the Quartet.

One is that it has little to do with Shujian Huye Xiu, but the matter is too big, and Emperor Dali died of illness.

Another one, with tens of thousands of wild repairs and more than a thousand islands are closely related, when this appalling truth came out, Shujian Lake woke up, why the situation of Shujian Lake in the first two years, why is it so incomprehensible.

It turns out that Tongye Continent's largest immortal family sect is now prefixed, Yugui Sect, chose Shujian Lake as the location of the next sect of Aquarius.

Therefore, since the beginning of spring this year, the news about the size of the Yugui Sect has been flying like a goose feather heavy snowfall.

It's just that for Gu Can, these big things have nothing to do with him.

Chen Ping'an handed over the opening of Luo Tianda Jiao and the water and land dojo to Gu Can.

In addition to transferring all the account books to Gu Can, the rules and regulations about the two major events were meticulous to the point that Chen Ping'an wrote tens of thousands of words and handed them over to Gu Can.

For this reason, Ma Duyi also joked that Mr. Chen is not a monk.

The money needed, Chen Ping'an and Gu Can discussed, and divided it in half.

That's not a small amount of money. The little belongings that Gu Can's mother moved away from the Chunting Mansion were far from enough.

Gu Can didn't see anything else, and said that he would owe Chen Ping'an a credit first.

Before Chen Ping'an left, he sat down with Gu Can and calculated an account, and then Gu Can would need at least two years, counting Luo Tian Dajiao and the water and land dojo, plus Chen Ping'an's previous experience in Shihao Country and Mei Glaze Country, Gu Can could only repay half of the debt, and then Gu Can still need to continue to walk in all directions, and strive for the future If there is a chance, create a mountain island suitable for ghost and yin cultivation in Shujian Lake.

The three of them took a ferry boat and slowly went to Qingxia Island.

Gu Can stood on the bow of the boat with a bamboo box on his back, and the young man who worked hard to repay his debts had been carrying the prison Yama Hall for more than a year.

Being able to turn into a ghost after death seems lucky, but it is actually a kind of suffering.

Whether it is a common man or a cultivator, it must be a deep obsession before his death, and he does not go to the world, but life and death are the principles of heaven, and the rules and punishments of heaven and earth fall on them, time flows, twenty-four solar terms, spring thunder shakes, midsummer yang, all kinds of invisible winds that flow through the world and the world, and the ordinary masters have no damage, but they are tormented and tormented by ghosts, and there are the morning bells and dusk drums of the ancient temples and Taoist temples, the incense of the two temples and the city god pavilion, the door gods posted in the market, the momentum of the golden iron horse in the battlefield, etc., will cause different degrees of damage to the ordinary yin ghosts。

Not to mention that there are also spectrum immortal masters to slay demons and eliminate demons, accumulate merits, mountains and wild cultivators, especially those ghost cultivators, are even more fond of capturing yin spirits, soul stripping, reshaping, yin poison techniques, endlessly, or Gu cultivation techniques, or secret methods, all kinds of calamities, it is better to be alive than dead, and death is better than life.

Before Chen Ping'an came to Shujian Lake, Gu Can certainly knew some of these things, but he didn't take them seriously, and he never bothered to delve into them.

Not anymore.

Halfway through the waterway, a Qingxia Island building boat came quickly.

Tian Hujun floated on the tiny ferry where Gu Can was.

Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye both thought that Gu Can would not board the building boat, but Gu Can did not refuse Tian Hujun's invitation, hugged his fists with the small ferry boat to thank him, and boarded the huge building boat.

Tian Hujun smiled Yan Yan.

Gu Can smiled and spoke.

It seems that there is no mustard, it is still the most beautiful time on Qingxia Island back then, the pair of senior sisters and junior brothers.

Tian Hujun joked, our Mr. Chen owes a lot of money, the secret treasury of Qingxia Island is complaining, the palace of the king of Hades is imprisoned, and the imitation glazed pavilion that helped Mr. Chen give Yu Hui an IOU, the two ghost cultivation magic weapons, are not small amounts.

Gu Can smiled and said a word, such a big matter, you can wait for the master to return to Qingxia Island, and the master and his old man will decide.

Tian Hujun suddenly looked embarrassed.

Now in Shujian Lake, almost no Ye Xiu believes that Liu Zhimao can leave the Gongliu Island Water Prison alive.

As long as he was able to leave, Liu Zhimao would have returned to Qingxia Island long ago, so why delay it until now? Now that Su Gaoshan is gone, just waiting for the new sect master of the Yugui Sect to appear, everyone believes that at that time, it will be Liu Zhimao's death.

Gu Can, who had not been wearing the dark green python robe for a long time, clasped his hands in his sleeves, turned his head to look at Tian Hujun, who looked uncertain, and said softly: " Senior sister, in order to reach the top of the avenue, doing something against your will is actually not a fault, but one or two bottom lines, there are still to be there, I am a monk halfway and became Liu Zhimao's closed disciple, among which there are twists and turns, intrigues, mutual use, everyone can see Shujian Lake, so the kindness of master and apprentice, this is not my Gu Can's bottom line, but senior sister, you are a proud disciple brought out by Liu Zhimao, since then, all kinds of opportunities, Qingxia Island has not treated you too much, if you do a disproportionate, just imagine, in the Dali file, in Guan Yiran's mind, in the eyes of Shujian Huye Xiu, and the future Yugui Sect's lower sect monks' views on you, will not be much better。 Since he is already an Earth Immortal Cultivator, I wonder if I can see further? After all, there are many rules in Shujian Lake today. Our previous approach is no longer applicable to the current Shujian Lake. ”

Tian Hujun asked softly, "Is it Mr. Chen who wants you to tell me?"

Gu Can shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with Chen Ping'an, what you do, he can only see it more truly and thoroughly than me, so naturally he won't tell you this, but over the years, I still have some love for my senior sister, so this is my little truth." Whether to listen or not to listen is the senior sister's own business. I understand the reason why I don't get to the wine table if I am poor, and I don't persuade people, but I think that even if it is annoying, I still have to talk to the senior sister. ”

Tian Hujun sighed, "There is no turning back." ”

Gu Can smiled, just another Gu Can back then.

It's a pity that the master sister Tian Hujun didn't meet her Chen Ping'an.

As soon as Gu Can thought of this, he began to look into the distance, feeling that the sky and the earth were big, even if the future was slim, but there was no need to be too afraid.

After a few points of depression in his heart, Gu Can retracted his gaze and said: "Senior sister, don't worry, the remaining territory and heritage of Qingxia Island, you fellow senior sisters and brothers, as well as the vassal worshippers, even if you fight, I can't fight for anything, and I don't want to fight for anything." With my ability, I can't bargain with you, so it's better to sell a good job and take the initiative to quit, maybe I can still ask you for a glass of wine in the future. Besides, I can't stay on Qingxia Island for a few days all year round, so instead of being wary of me, Senior Sister might as well go through all walks of life. ”

Tian Hujun gave Gu Can a scheming word, and his face became more and more unnatural, but with Gu Can's words that he was willing to "have a heart-to-heart" with her, the senior sister, it was better than her being suspicious.

It's not that Tian Hujun believes all of Gu Can's "heartfelt words", but now Gu Can, before entering Shujian Lake, he needs to go to Chishui City Fan to find a talisman, and after boarding the boat, he must use the wording of "Liu Zhimao may leave Gongliu Island safely" that no one believes in to win a way out for himself, so that Tian Hujun can feel a little at ease, Gu Can, who has lost the loach and does not have Chen Ping'an by his side, is really useless!

The boat docked on Qingxia Island, Gu Can did not say that he wanted to go to Chunting Mansion, saying that he could live in the house at the gate of the mountain and be neighbors with his friends.

As a result, Ma Duyi monopolized Chen Ping'an's room and drove Gu Can to Zengye's side.

Gu Can doesn't care.

After getting along all the way day and night, Gu Can didn't hate Ma Duyi, who had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and after a long time, he felt very good.

Chen Ping'an may feel that the truth of his life has been finished in Shujian Lake.

And Gu Can felt that in his life, all the words of others who were sloppy and slapping horses had been heard in the years of Shujian Lake.

After that, Gu Can went to see the ruins of Hengbo Mansion, and stopped outside the Spring Courtyard Mansion for a while.

On this bright spring day, Gu Can and Zeng Ye Ma Duyi sat side by side on small bamboo chairs to bask in the sun.

A tall woman in palace clothes came to the shore and disembarked.

Liu Chongrun, Zhuhai Island.

Gu Can only knew that Chen Ping'an felt a little guilty about this island owner, saying that he owed her some fairy money, so this trip back to Shujian Lake, even if Liu Chongrun didn't come to Qingxia Island, Gu Can would go to Zhuchai Island and talk to Liu Chongrun about something, lest this beautiful Liu Island owner mistakenly think that Chen Ping'an was in debt and ran away. Today's Liu Chongrun, but amazing, the strangest place, even if Liu Chongrun showed the true cultivation of Jindan Dixian, but he was able to kill a bloody way, under the eyes of a large number of big island owners, he got a piece of entry-rank Dali Taiping Nothing Affair card, or caused a lot of speculation, such as whether Su Gaoshan fell in love with Liu Chongrun's posture? Or Guan Yiran, a high-powered young man, is a good beauty? After all, Liu Chongrun was a high-ranking princess who made Zhu Ying's royal sword immortal dream of her Royal Highness the princess.

Of course, Gu Can knew that there were no such beautiful things as these black miasma, because Chen Ping'an had leaked some heavenly secrets, Liu Chongrun, as a princess of the dead country of the Great Dynasty, exchanged a secret treasure of the Water Temple that had not been excavated by the Zhu Ying Dynasty for the protection of the nothing-to-do card, not only was able to keep all the belongings of Zhuchai Island, but also ascended to the sky in one step and became one of the monks worshipped by Da Li.

As for whether Chen Ping'an had a matchmaking here, he didn't say.

Liu Chongrun saw Gu Can, who got up to greet him, and asked with a smile, "When will Mr. Chen return to Shujian Lake?"

Gu Can shook his head and said, "I don't know for the time being, but it's unlikely to be in the near future." ”

Liu Chongrun's expression was as usual, and he nodded, he was going to leave like this.

Gu Can stood up, followed the Lord of Liu Island, and chatted with her about Chen Ping'an's words.

Liu Chongrun was noncommittal, and he didn't have a word, so he left.

Gu Can returned to the small bamboo chair.

As a result, on the other side of the ferry, a ghost cultivator of Zhu Xianfu appeared.

Liu Chongrun hesitated for a moment, but still stopped, and sighed, "Ma Yuanzhi, after being entangled for so many years, is it interesting?

Ghost Xiu, who deliberately changed into a plain green shirt, grinned and said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, knowing that Chen Ping'an is not on Qingxia Island, I still have to go on this trip, I know it in my heart." ”

Liu Chongrun was a little annoyed, "Get out of the way." ”

Ma Yuanzhi didn't dare to block the road, obediently gave way to the road, and let Liu Chongrun go straight to the Zhuhai Island ferry.

just failed to control a pair of dog eyes, and sneaked a few glances at the back of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, which is really good.

Liu Chongrun stopped and turned his head.

Ma Yuan said sharply: "You are looking for death?!"

Ma Yuanzhi swallowed his saliva and said aggrievedly: "Isn't this worrying about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, after this turmoil, have you become haggard and emaciated, but now you are finally relieved." ”

Ma Yuanzhi took advantage of this opportunity and glanced at her chest again, the peaks and peaks were undulating, and they were beautiful.

Liu Chongrun said angrily: "Dogs can't change the thing that eats!"

Ma Yuanzhi complained: "I don't allow Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to abuse herself so badly, Her Royal Highness just trampled me under my feet, and I have no complaints, but My Highness said this about herself, and I didn't agree." In my heart, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will always be the most moving and flawless strange woman in the world......"

Liu Chongrun was shocked to realize his gaffe, and in annoyance, he flicked out his sleeve and slapped the ghost cultivator directly out of the ferry.

After Ma Yuanzhi stabilized his body and mind, he had mixed feelings, tears in his eyes, wiped his face, and only felt that after so many years, he had been wronged and worked hard, and finally had some compensation, and murmured: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the woman is thin-skinned, and I am embarrassed to say those love words directly about Qingqing and me, it doesn't matter, beating is kissing and scolding is love, I still understand." ”

After Liu Chongrun uploaded, he used immortal skills to control the ferry and left quickly.

It's really annoying to the rice man with a hole in his brain.

Ma Yuanzhi nodded, his smile was bright, and his eyebrows became more and more shy, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she is so shy, but it is a rare thing that has not been encountered in a hundred years, it seems that she really intends to open her heart to me, there is a play, there is definitely a play! Chen Ping'an, you just wait to drink the happy bar! What a good brother! If it weren't for telling me, dealing with women, you have to think more about the meaning of their words, where could I think of the good intentions of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?" If you want me to become a Jindan Earth Immortal as soon as possible, isn't it just a hint that I am a big man, and I am not allowed to lag behind her too much, but I am not worried that I am already a Jindan to His Highness, and I have a bad heart? If His Highness is not affectionate towards me, how can he speak so hard? Chen Ping'an, Mr. Chen, Brother Chen! You are really my great benefactor!"

After the ghost cultivator swaggered away happily.

Zeng Ye was a little unsure of the relationship between the ghost cultivator and the owner of Zhuhai Island, and asked in a low voice: "This ghost cultivator senior, did you misunderstand something?"

Ma Duyi swallowed melon seeds and said with a hammer: "If I were the master of Liu Island, I would slap him to death and count, and if I could save a face, I would rub oil on that pair of dog eyes." ”

Gu Canxiao asked, "Do you think Island Master Liu will like Chen Ping'an?"

Zeng Ye thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, she is so much older than our Mr. Chen, and she doesn't deal with each other often, after all, Lord Liu is a Jindan monk with a firm Taoist heart, even if Mr. Chen is very good, I don't think it's like it." ”

Ma Duyi sneered: "Liu Chongrun likes Mr. Chen, what's strange, but our Mr. Chen doesn't like an old woman." ”

Gu Can, who was sitting on a small bamboo chair in the center, laughed.

Ma Duyi threw a handful of melon seeds over, Gu Can dodged, and it all fell on Zeng Ye's head, which is not counting, Zeng Ye still has to bend down to pick it up, after all, it is difficult to follow Mr. Chen for so long, it is difficult not to be obsessed with wealth and not to pick the door.

————

Miyanagi Island.

In the water prison.

The prisoner under the stairs, dressed in plain white linen, sat cross-legged in a rather spacious prison, looking calm.

Outside the prison, there was an old monk from the Upper Five Realms of Tongye Continent, who was the ancestor of the original Tongye Sect who followed the two sect masters of Taiping Mountain and Fuping Sect to kill the big demon, but now he has switched to the Yugui Sect, and he also took away a heavy treasure of the Zhenshan Mountain in the Ancestor Hall of the Yugui Sect, which almost caused a big battle between the Tongye Sect and the Yugui Sect. Fortunately, Xun Yuan, the old sect master of the Yugui Sect, personally came to the door and sat down with the sect master of the Tongye Sect of the Eleventh Realm Sword Immortal for a good talk, and after the talk, the Tongye Sect did not continue to investigate, presumably the Yugui Sect gave compensation.

The old monk's name is Zhou Fenglu, and he is the person who is responsible for the location of the lower sect of the Yugui Sect this time, as for whether it is a pitiful pawn, the key depends on the candidate for the final sect leader of the lower sect, whether it is him who has worked hard and made great achievements, or Jiang Shangzhen, the bastard who has already held the blessed land of the Cloud Cave.

The reason why Zhou Fenglu did not directly kill this Liu Zhimao was because he wanted to get more credit, so that the Yuguizong secretly supported the small number of high-ranking old guys on his throne, and he could convince the old stubborn of the ancestor hall who were inclined to Jiang Shangzhen, of course, the Yuguizong was not monolithic, and for the younger Jiang Shangzhen, who had been in the limelight for thousands of years, many old people were not pleasing to the eye for a long time.

This is Zhou Fenglu's chance.

Once he becomes the first sect master of the next sect, he is a first-class feudal official of the Yugui Sect, and he can directly occupy a place in the ancestral hall of the main mountain of the Yugui Sect, and the seats will be extremely forward, maybe he will sit next to Jiang Shangzhen, I believe that many old guys in the Yugui Sect who do not want Jiang Shangzhen's family to be the only one are happy to see it, which can not only suppress the arrogance of the Jiang family, but also disgust Jiang Shangzhen.

Zhou Fenglu's face was displeased, "Liu Zhimao, this is the third time I've looked for you, it's only three things, do you understand?"

Liu Zhimao squinted at him, "We, the wild cultivators that you don't look down on as immortal masters, are used to wild dogs and can't be domestic dogs." ”

Zhou Fenglu sneered: "Take the initiative to contact Tan Yuanyi and take refuge in the Dali Song family, is it not the same as being a watchdog?"

Liu Zhimao said with a smile: "Working hard for Da Li, that is also free-range, it is better than raising countless captives, besides, the most unaccustomed thing in Lao Tzu's life is your high-spirited spectrum immortal master." ”

Zhou Fenglu's face was gloomy, "Liu Zhimao, do you really think I don't dare to kill you? A Yuan Infant Earth Immortal, in such a corner of your Aquarius Continent, it is amazing, but in our Tongye Continent, it is really nothing." The demise of the monks of the Upper Five Realms is not a few. Every hundred years, if a few Yuan Babies don't die, Tong Yezhou feels embarrassed to say hello to the great monks of other continents. You Aquarius, okay?"

Liu Zhimao laughed, "Scare me?"

Zhou Fenglu shook his head, "It's really not to scare you, a person's patience is limited." ”

Liu Zhimao tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Don't you know, we wild dogs, who have been practicing all our lives, have always been frightened again and again, and we are too frightened, either we are frightened, or just like me, the ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night, and I have to ask if you are here to do business with me." Why, you are already the sect master of the lower sect of the Yugui Sect, can you judge my life and death in one word? Take a step back and say, even if you become the sect master, shouldn't you weigh it more carefully, how to make the best use of a Yuan Ying Ye Xiu? What if one day I suddenly open my mind and agree to be your worship? Aren't you a big loss? You detain me, a formation, and cost a few immortal coins? I don't understand this account? How can I still be the sect master?"

Liu Zhimao's whole body was entangled and constrained by the veins of the water prison, especially the key points of warming and nourishing the natal object, which was blocked by the water veins of Gongliu Island, he yawned, "I really think that you outsiders can do whatever you want in Aquarius?" Just for your patience, I think your suzerain throne can't sit steadily, it can't be worse than me, the sovereign of Shujian Lake, the chair is not hot, so you have to get up quickly and give way obediently." Fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, I really don't believe it, Yuguizong is willing to give such a big piece of fat to half an outsider. ”

Liu Zhimao actually began to teach the old monk in front of him with amazing combat power and a heavy treasure in hand, "It's really not that I said that you are immortal masters, you, just say that your heart is tough, and it may not be comparable to our wild cultivation." Isn't it just because of those superior Dao methods and sect inheritances that we can go unimpeded? Give us those Dao methods, even if we all start from the earth immortals, and the two sides spend the same amount of time, Ye Xiu is guaranteed to be able to beat you out of the. Anyway, you've betrayed the Tongye Sect, the rules of the Patriarch's Hall are tattered and sparse, it's a fart, why don't you teach me the immortal method of the Tongye Sect directly to the Upper Five Realms? But do you dare?"

Liu Zhimao in the cage, laughter was unbridled.

Laughing.

It shows its majesty, and of course there are some ruffians.

Zhou Fenglu shook his head, "Liu Zhimao, I hope that the next time we meet, when you become the sect master of the next sect, you can still speak so hard." ”

Liu Zhimao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, even if we become the sect master, we can still chat, we are cultivated in the mountains and fields, and the wind is a fart, and I like to see the wind and rudder the most." ”

Zhou Fenglu was silent and left the water prison.

This book Jian Hu Yuanying Ye Xiu, it is really dog meat not on the table, you can't kill it, you can't eat it, Zhou Fenglu made up his mind, as long as he became the sect leader of the next sect, he would slaughter Liu Zhimao on the same day, and he wouldn't talk nonsense with this Ye Xiu.

After Zhou Fenglu returned to his mansion.

The real owner of Gongliu Island, Liu Laocheng, walked into the bottom of the water prison, and along the way, the monks of the Yugui Sect pretended not to see it, neither greeting nor stopping him.

Shujian Lake has three fundamental water veins, the water transport is thick, and the rest of the water veins are numerous but slender, fragmented and messy, and are divided up by the remaining more than 1,000 island forces.

One of them was monopolized by Miyanagi Island, and the water prison formation was used as the foundation.

This is also the key to being able to easily suppress Liu Zhimao.

Qingxia Island also stole most of the water veins, and Hengbo Mansion was the eye of the array, but unfortunately it was destroyed, and the water transportation was scattered, and the group of earth immortal monks on the vassal islands were cheapened in vain, such as Tian Hujun and Yu Hui.

The three large islands of Qingzuka, Tianmu and Grain Millet were divided together into the last fundamental water vein of Shujian Lake.

After Liu Laocheng reached the bottom of the water prison, he immediately isolated a small world.

Liu Zhimao raised his head and frowned.

He is not very afraid of that Zhou Fenglu, but he is still very jealous of Liu Laocheng, the predecessor of Jianhu.

Because Ye Xiu is always the most familiar with Ye Xiu.

On the contrary, the Spectrum Immortal Master was confused for a while.

Liu Laocheng took out a picture scroll, shook it slightly, spread it out gently, and walked out of the picture scroll with a man with a smile on his face.

He walked to the side of the prison, put his hands behind his back, bent down and squinted at Liu Zhimao, and asked: "I heard that you and Chen Ping'an are also friends and enemies, vague, and don't talk about him, but listening to Liu Laocheng, you both recognize each other as half of your confidants?"

This time it was Liu Zhimao's turn to be confused and did not answer the question, "Are you ...... Yugui Sect Jiang Shangzhen?"

The man smiled and said, "You answer my question first, and then I'll see if I want to answer your question. ”

Liu Zhimao glanced at Liu Laocheng, on Zhou Fenglu's side, Liu Zhimao roughly knew Zhou Fenglu's bottom line after the previous two "discussions", so he could delay it again and again, but in the face of this Yugui sect family, which is very likely to be Jiang Shangzhen's Yugui sect family, Liu Zhimao was a little heavy for a while, and he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "I and Chen Ping'an can't be friends for a lifetime, whether I am among the upper five realms, or he has the ability to break my wrists with me in the future, maybe there will be a fight." But Chen Ping'an and I are half confidants for now, which can be regarded as having a few drinks before and after. ”

The man clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "That's it, Xiao Liu, plus Lao Liu behind me, we will be friends on grasshoppers from now on!"

Liu Zhimao looked at Liu Laocheng again, the latter's face and mood were all unwavering, and he didn't give Liu Zhimao the slightest reminder.

The man smiled and said, "You guessed correctly, I am that Jiang Shangzhen, the late sect master of the Yugui Sect." ”

The man suddenly wiped his face, miserable and miserable, like a woman complaining: "I feel bitter in my heart, Zhou Fenglu's stinky and shameless thing almost ruined my good deeds, if it weren't for Li Furui being smart enough, even if I fought hard at this time, I would have killed that Zhou Fenglu, and then carry the head of the old thief and go to apologize to others! ”

Jiang Shangzhen gently beat his heart, his face was full of sadness, and he scolded: "I, Jiang Shangzhen, didn't come to Shujian Lake to wipe my ass, the top priority is to catch up with Chen Ping'an, now, talk about it, Zhou Fenglu, this old thing who has more than enough success and more than failure, is not a pity to die, didn't I just set up a few tables of wine banquets on the side of Tongye Sect, but now they are all my own people, and they still cheat me like this, with sinister intentions, damn it, it's really damn ......"

Liu Zhimao was dumbfounded.

Liu Laocheng's eyelids also trembled slightly, obviously he had already learned Jiang Shangzhen, and it was slightly better than Liu Zhimao, who seemed to be in the thunderstorm.

Jiang Shangzhen suddenly retracted his words and smiles, was silent for a moment, and asked softly: "Liu Zhimao, let me ask you a word for Zhou Fenglu, would you like to be the worship of the lower sect of the Yugui Sect?"

Liu Zhimao hesitated.

In an instant, he caught a glimpse of Liu Laocheng nodding lightly at him.

Liu Zhimao took a deep breath and nodded lightly, "Yes." ”

Then he found a verdant willow leaf, hovering right at the center of his brow.

Jiang Shangzhen snapped his fingers and said with a hippie smile: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, Liu Zhimao, from now on, you are the third seat to be enshrined in my next sect, Liu Laocheng, Zhou Fenglu, Liu Zhimao." But I hope that after you enter the Five Realms, you can help me slaughter that Zhou Fenglu, no matter what the method is, you can do it. I can promise you now, the jade Gui Sect's Zhenshan treasure in Zhou Fenglu's hand, the next sect can borrow you for a hundred years, as long as the credit is enough after that, it will not be difficult to borrow it for another hundred years. But if you don't kill and get killed, no wonder I don't help you collect the body. ”

Liu Zhimao asked, "What about being in the Five Realms?"

Jiang Shangzhen stretched out a thumbs up and pointed to himself, "What does Lao Tzu have? When you get acquainted with me, you will definitely be able to pity me, you are too rich, it is really sad. ”

Jiang Shangzhen sighed, "Don't say it's your poor Ye Xiu in Aquarius, even our Spectrum Immortal Master of the Five Realms of Tongye Continent, I don't know the trouble of being as rich as me, it's very annoying." ”

Liu Zhimao looked at Liu Laocheng again, isn't it really panicked to cooperate with this kind of person? Is it really more stable to take a boat with Zhou Fenglu?

Liu Laocheng's face was expressionless.

I don't know if it's unfathomable, or scolding my mother in my heart.

The need to know about money is really the most heart-wrenching place for all the mountains and wild cultivators in the world.

Late spring.

The night was deep, and it was silent in a secluded place in Shujian Lake.

There is an old gentleman standing by the lake, with a wave of his sleeves, he swept out 20 bamboo slips, and the words on the bamboo slips are shining with golden light, and the brilliance is like the immortal moral articles of Confucian sages, which can compete with the sun and the moon.

Bamboo slips, falling into the lake of book slips.

Twenty-four bamboo slips, twenty-four solar terms.

In the entire Shujian Lake, only a few people have feelings and palpitations.

Jiang Shangzhen, Liu Laocheng, Zhou Fenglu.

But even though the three of them swept into the air almost at the same time, looking around, they still couldn't detect the slightest clue.

But in fact, that old master was right under their noses, but even the three Upper Five Realm cultivators still couldn't see it.

However, Liu Zhimao, a prisoner who had not yet walked out of Gongliu Island, remembered one thing for no reason.

Zhujian Lake, the earliest was a place where the aura was weak, there was once a Confucian sage who traveled here from Middle-earth, got the avenue, resonated with heaven and earth, the weather is thousands, the lake is called Shujian, full of aura, and benefits future generations.

The old master stood by the lake and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world thinks that this is a dung pit, but some people say that you are the heroes of heaven and earth, and you are still awe-inspiring, so what do you think?"

The ripples of the lake are bursting, and the righteousness of the ages is magnificent.

The old master smiled and said: "I, old master, don't want you to be grateful to that little master, people don't need it, scholars do things, that's it, it's not trading." Therefore, I just want you to sacrifice your lives for righteousness, and die again in the future, and with me, do not fail this world that is still saved. ”

The old master smiled again: "Of course, the young man also said that he is not a scholar for the time being, but just a bookkeeper, so what we should do next, we can discuss it." ”

————

A fairy ferry port in the middle of Aquarius.

In the summer of this year, a young man in a green shirt stopped with a horse.

At the age of seventeen, I went to Shujian Lake and spent the thirty nights of the Chinese New Year's Eve alone in the house at the gate of Qingxia Island.

On the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve of the following year, at an inn in Shihao Country, he talked with Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi around the fireplace.

Another year, on the back of the horse that went to meet Zeng Ye Ma Duyi, in the bumps, leisurely, alone spent the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Another year, I went to the mountains south of Shujian Lake, and on the way back, with Gu Xuan, Zeng Ye, and Ma Duyi, I finally had a Chinese New Year's Eve meal that could make up a table.

This year, at this moment, after taking the horse on the ferry, Chen Ping'an touched the hosta on his bun, and it turned out that he had unconsciously reached the so-called year of the crown in Confucianism.

Then on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Chen Ping'an originally planned to ask for a table of sumptuous dishes with the Xianjia ferry, but he regretted it temporarily, he still took out dry food and wine, stood on the windowsill, and looked at the sea of clouds, which was regarded as celebrating his birthday, and even dealt with the crown ceremony, after all, there was only one person in the family, and there were no elders or temples, so there was no need to pay attention to so much red tape.

Just swallowed the last mouthful of dry food and wine, Chen Ping'an just burped, and he had already put away the wrong sword, and he felt that the sword fairy behind him suddenly sank, as if it had changed from a few catties of objects to thousands of catties in an instant, so that Chen Ping'an staggered back and fell to the ground with his sword.

It's just that after a blink of an eye, the sword immortal in the sheath was still lifeless, without any movement, Chen Ping'an tried to sit up, and there was nothing unusual.

Chen Ping'an was a little puzzled, for fear of any calculations and subtleties, he sat at the table, pulled out the sword fairy sword, and looked at it for a long time, and it was not strange.

seems to have taken the initiative to invite Chen Ping'an to step on it.
