There is a gathering and there is a dissolution, and life is a willow break.

In the long river of time, there seems to be a number of ferries with willows clinging to each other, and in each period of time and journey, there will be people leaving the boat, someone boarding the boat as a companion, and then there will be a new gathering and parting at the next ferry.

is like the hard-working boy in Mud Bottle Alley, who has been away from everyone at the last ferry.

At dawn, Li Er's family of three had already prepared their bags and said goodbye to the group at the foot of Donghua Mountain, compared to the first time in his hometown town and relatives apart, Li Huai is no longer heartless this time, not only does he feel that he has no restraints, he can eat sugar gourds and chicken legs all day long, but a little more sad, the child has grown up.

Li Baohua, Lin Shouyi, Yu Lu, thank you, and Cui Dongshan, a beautiful young man, all came to see him off.

The woman's eyes were red, unwilling to let go of Li Huai's hand, and she babbled trivial words about adding clothes and eating and drinking in the cold, and Li Huai listened quietly. Li Er always stood beside him silly, and after Li Liu straightened Li Huai's clothes that were brand new and neat enough, he looked back at the plaque of the Mountain Cliff Academy, and the girl was indifferent to the glances of the two peers of Xie Xie and Yu Lu.

The woman was finally willing to leave, and when she went out, she was ruthless and did not turn her head again. Li Er patted Li Huai's head, smiled and followed his daughter-in-law's footsteps, Li Liu patted his younger brother's shoulder, and then gave everyone a blessing and left.

Li Huai lightly kicked Lin Shouyi, who was holding a letter with sweat in his palm, the cold young man shook his head, looked at the girl's back, and muttered, "Next time." ”

Li Huai didn't want to show his sadness in front of them, so he endured his sorrow, found an interesting topic, and said with a smile: "Cui Dongshan, if you are Chen Ping'an's student, we are all disciples of Mr. Qi, and the treasure bottle is called Uncle Chen Ping'an, what do you do with our generation?"

Cui Dongshan put his hands on his back, Yushu was in the wind, and said proudly: "I am the founding disciple of my husband, and my seniority is very high, 108,000 miles higher than this Donghua Mountain. ”

Li Huai was stunned for a moment, "Is it difficult to call you senior brother?"

"Senior brother?"

Cui Dongshan suddenly became anxious, "Your whole family is a senior brother! Lao Tzu don't be a senior brother, how else can you shout." ”

Li Huai was a little confused, "Then it's a bit awkward to call you little brother?" ”

Cui Dongshan's eyes lit up, "Hello little senior brother, you respect your brother and show kindness, you can call me little brother in the future, Yu Lu, thank you, from today on, you are no exception, you don't need to call Gongzi, you are too angry, just follow the treasure bottle and call me my little brother together." ”

Li Baohua snorted coldly: "I didn't agree!"

The little girl in the red cotton jacket rushed out of the archway, and Li Huai shouted: "Li Baohua, there is still a class later!"

"Punish copying the article, I have already picked up the lamp to write it last night, what are you afraid of! I want to go shopping here alone, and then I can take my little uncle shopping. Li Baohua raised his head high, galloped all the way, chasing a group of pigeons in the blue sky, pigeon whistles one after another, melodious and clear sounded in the capital of the Great Sui.

Li Huai opened his voice and shouted, "Then bring me with you." ”

Li Baohua turned a deaf ear, compared to her slender figure far away from the archway of the academy, the little girl's thoughts were thousands of miles away.

————

Having already walked to a mountain on the border of Huang Tingguo, Chen Ping'an washed his face on the bank of the mountain stream.

Different from the girl in the pink skirt who only carries a few people's bookcases, the little boy in Tsing Yi carries a square inch of things, and there are always a lot of strange things, at first he didn't want to show anything in front of the master, and then he was obsessed with the snake gallstone, and he couldn't think about it every day, so he began to take it out, begging Chen Ping'an to exchange the snake gallstone for him for a baby.

Just like this, the little boy in Tsing Yi took out a bunch of small bottles in the form of a bunch of them, squatted beside Chen Ping'an, explained the fun of these bottles to the old man, pulled out the cork of one of the pink and green porcelain bottles, poured it into the stream, and soon a large piece of soft moonlight flowed out of the porcelain bottle, sprinkled on the stream, like a dream.

The little boy in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "Master, it's good-looking, this is the Yuehua bottle that cultivators like quite a lot, in addition, there are also Yunxia bottles, daylight bottles, and all kinds of things, specializing in picking up clouds and clouds from the side of the five mountains, the sun and the moon, etc., the aura contained in it is not much, naturally it is not as rich and abundant as those caves and blessed land, and the water is long, but it is no match for these bottles pouring - the scenery that comes out is beautiful, what do you think, master?"

Chen Ping'an was indeed a little shocked, between the lush mountains and forests, it was still slightly shady in the daytime, and at this time, looking at the moonlight flowing slowly on the stream, he really felt that there was indeed nothing strange in the world.

The little boy in Tsing Yi said step by step: "A small bottle in exchange for the master's snake gallstone, it is definitely not kind, I also have three bottles here collectively known as the Liangliang bottle, the name is derived from the 'aftersound around the beam, three days endlessly', all filled with all kinds of beautiful sounds between heaven and earth, such as the frog in this bottle, the sound of the tide, and the sound of the pine waves in the mountains, master, do you want to open one of the bottles when you sleep, and the sound of the tide next to the pillow, how pleasant, not excited?" I have so many precious bottles, so I will exchange a snake gallstone with you! Only one will be exchanged for one! As long as the lord nods, these seven or eight bottles will immediately belong to you, master, if you don't do this kind of business, you will be hit by five thunderstorms in the sky......

Chen Ping'an silently calculated in his heart that there were still a lot of snake gallstones in excellent condition, nodded and smiled: "Okay." ”

The girl in the pink skirt waved her hand vigorously beside her, giving her master a look, trying to dissuade Chen Ping'an from agreeing to the deal.

The boy in Tsing Yi pushed the bottle to Chen Ping'an, jumped around with joy, stretched out two fingers to the girl in the pink skirt, and said proudly: "One more than you, now it is one realm higher than you, when you get to the master's hometown, eat the stone, the uncle will have two more realms than you stupid girl, when the time comes, you will be a little more interesting, don't stay with the master and lose the master's people, the master has my little scholar is enough, where do you need any stupid girl......"

The girl in the pink skirt pursed her lips, wrinkling her little face with a puff, and the storm was coming.

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "If you bully her again, I will regret it." ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi immediately coughed, and said to her seriously: "In the future, you have to take care of the old man'......s clothing, food, housing and transportation, you have to be more attentive, you know, don't you know?"

Chen Ping'an put away those rare vials of different materials, and looked at the head of the boy in Tsing Yi with a chestnut, "Don't talk nonsense here." ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi pretended to say: "The master has taught a lesson." ”

Chen Ping'an squatted on the stone by the stream again, took out a piece of dry cake and chewed it, and asked casually, "Do you know what the Dragon King Basket is?"

The two little guys turned slightly pale at the same time, and the boy in Tsing Yi was even stiffer, not to mention gags, and he couldn't even walk.

The girl in the pink skirt said cautiously: "I have seen a record in ancient books, as long as the qi practitioner throws it into the river, he can capture the dragon, the most terrifying place is that the dragon genus, originally in the water is the geographical advantage, that is, the enemy is one or two realms higher than their own qi practitioners, will definitely not suffer, but if the other party has the dragon king basket, even if the realm is one or two realms lower than ours, the same can let us be captured." ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi subconsciously took a few steps away from Chen Ping'an and squatted in the distance, "It's not so easy, once you are caught in the Dragon King Basket, it is not better than a mortal being in an oil pot, and you will suffer from that thousand knives all the time, this is the secret of the largest sect in the ancient Shu Kingdom, they specialize in weaving the Dragon King Basket and sell it to those Qi practitioners who come from afar and try to capture our race." ”

His voice trembled, his fists clenched, and he shook it, "A dragon king basket of this size can catch me." ”

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hands and gestured in front of him, "What if it's so big?"

Not to mention the boy in Tsing Yi who knows how powerful the dragon king basket is, even the girl in the pink skirt is too scared to speak.

The little boy in Tsing Yi said with a sad face: "Master, don't say you've seen it, I've never heard of such a big dragon king basket, you shouldn't have one, right?"

He resisted the urge not to have a second snake gallstone, and said tentatively: "If there is really such an exaggerated Dragon King Basket, let you be the ancestor of the dragon for thousands of years, you must also obediently accept your fate." Master, do you think that the pile of bottles is actually not very good-looking? It's okay, the master stays in his hand to play, if you really don't like it, you will return it to me when you get to the master's hometown, as for the snake gallstone, the master doesn't give it to the mood to ......"

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and said: "I don't have a dragon king basket, even if I have, you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”

It's no wonder that Gao Xuan, the prince of the Great Sui, felt unhappy after buying the golden carp and the dragon king basket, in addition to giving a bag of gold and copper coins, he also wanted to express his gratitude in the capital of the Great Sui this time.

At that time, when he met the man who was selling fish in a fish basket in the town, Chen Ping'an saw at a glance that it was unusual. How could it be that the carp could still be alive and kicking off the shore for so long. After becoming a potter, he was still able to save some copper coins, and Chen Ping'an never had any extra expenses, and it was already extremely difficult to deal with firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

The second was intercepted halfway by Gao Xuan and the old man.

Chen Ping'an threw a stone into the stream, and the young man was a little sad at the moment, not because he had lost something and lost a lot of good fortune, but because he felt that several gold and silver mountains had passed by him.

So in the end, it's still distressing about money.

In fact, Chen Ping'an didn't know that the man was Li Huai's father, Li Er, one of Old Man Yang's apprentices. At that time, Li Er was already the pinnacle martial artist of the Nine Realms of Martial Arts, different from the gatekeeper who was responsible for receiving gold and copper coins, Li Er had a good impression of Chen Ping'an, as for why Li Er didn't give Chen Ping'an directly at that time, it was a big deal, Master Yang Old Man This person on the road has always respected the word "fairness", so Li Er casually quoted a price at that time, in order to bargain with the boy in Mud Bottle Lane, which seemed more real.

It's a pity that a prince of the Gao clan of the Great Sui Dynasty was killed halfway, and Li Er, who had already broken the rules first, suddenly woke up in his heart, and didn't dare to force Chen Ping'an to give this great fortune, and afterwards Old Man Yang also reprimanded Li Er, telling him a cruel truth, if Chen Ping'an really accepted the fish basket and carp, then whether he could leave the town alive or not is not a matter of words.

These undercurrents are surging in the town, and Chen Ping'an has not yet learned all of them.

On the avenue, there will always be blessings and misfortunes, one thing, whether a friend makes things worse, or an enemy sends charcoal in the snow, no one can say in a short time, and maybe it can't be said.

The three of them got back on the road and stayed on the top of the mountain overnight, although there was no need for Chen Ping'an to keep vigil, but Chen Ping'an was still used to sleeping late after walking the pile, and guarding the bonfire for a period of time before sleeping.

In the middle of the night, the top of the mountain is silent.

Around the bonfire, the boy in Tsing Yi added firewood to the fire, and hooked his finger at the girl in the pink skirt, "Silly girl, come here." ”

The girl leaned against the bookcase left by Cui Dongshan in the distance and shook her head vigorously, "I don't." ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "I won't eat you." ”

The girl was beaten to death and did not come forward.

The boy in Tsing Yi said angrily: "But if you don't come, I'll really eat you! What's the matter with you, you don't listen to good words, you have to be beaten?"

The girl in the pink skirt had to sit on the opposite side of the campfire.

He asked, "You said that the master is very ordinary and boring, how can there be such a murderous and terrible disciple?"

She thought for a moment, "The old man has a good heart, and good people have good rewards. ”

The boy in Tsing Yi sneered: "People can eat as food?"

She craned her neck.

He sneered: "It's a monster who has cultivated in the Five Realms, and there are some special skills, can you have a little backbone?"

She really had a bit of backbone this time, and retorted softly: "You chased and killed two thousand miles for the Lingyun Sect's Supreme Elder Imperial Sword, why don't you see that you have backbone?"

The boy in Tsing Yi was not annoyed, and patiently explained: "I'm not afraid of that old witch who is a lot old, it's really stinky and shameless, she is old, and she smeared a few catties of rouge on her face, uncle, I, I am a hero who is invincible with both fists, if I eat the old witch, I will annoy the entire Lingyun faction, and when the time comes, my water god brother will suffer, and I can't go in my heart." ”

The girl in the pink skirt quietly turned her head and rolled her eyes secretly.

That's all she dared.

The boy in Tsing Yi said indignantly: "You stupid girl are going to rebel?! Don't open the house for three days! With the support of my master, you won't take your uncle seriously, right?"

She was so frightened that she was about to shout Chen Ping'an.

The little boy in Tsing Yi hurriedly waved his hand, signaling her not to act rashly, sighed, and changed the topic: "Our master is only in the martial arts realm of the Second Realm, although it is not worse than the ordinary martial arts of the Third Realm, but you and I know that he is still very weak, and looking at his clothing, food, housing, transportation, speech and demeanor, he does not look like a child who came out of everyone's portal at all, and he really sits on five mountains in his hometown? Can there be so many snake gallstones? Could it be that the murderous guy deliberately deceived us? Want to take us to the small ravine?"

The girl in the pink skirt curled up and looked at the flames that she was naturally close to, and the whole person felt warm, and muttered, "I don't care." The two generations of Cao descendants of Zhilan Mansion have bad intentions, and I am sorry for the scholarly family that their ancestors worked hard to run, I don't like them in the first place. It's good to follow the master back to his hometown. ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi had a solemn face, and he no longer saw his usual hippie smiling face, and said softly: "Cao's did take a crooked path, but there is no way, if you change to someone else, you will do this, you can be a god, who is willing to be stupid to study and get famous, what is good at being good in the world, it is all a deception of Confucian saints, I have been in Yujiang for so many years, and I have seen the misfortune of many scholars, not to mention anything else, only to say that the previous assassin history, The county guard met my brother who was the god of water, and he was even more dog-legged than when he saw the official of the capital, as long as someone in the cultivation made a mistake, he would go to ask my brother for help in mediating overnight, and if my brother was in a bad mood, he would hang them outside the ancestral temple for several days, and those officials didn't dare to let go of a fart, and they were bored. ”

The girl in the pink skirt wanted to speak again and again, but finally remained silent.

The boy in Tsing Yi grinned and said, "The master has fallen asleep, but the uncle still has a long night and has no intention of sleeping." The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold...... Silly girl, why don't you be my daughter-in-law?"

The girl in the pink skirt suddenly had red eyes and scolded: "Stinky rascal!"

The boy in Tsing Yi glared, "What the hell? This is a great blessing, your ancestral grave is smoking, do you know?!" Do you think I really like you? If I hadn't coveted your snake gallstone ...... yet?"

She stood up, "I'll tell the master to go!"

He had no choice but to back down again, beckoning vigorously: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, how about we become brothers and sisters? After tying the knot Jinlan, your things are mine, and my things are still my ......."

She simply ran away with the bookcase on her back.

The boy in Tsing Yi stood up, crossed his waist and laughed, and after reining in his smile, he pursed his lips and muttered, "What a stupid girl." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi ran all the way to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly said loudly: "In the world of life, you and I are all going against the tide!

Chen Ping'an, who should have been asleep in the distance, curled the corners of his mouth, and then stopped running the eighteen-stop sword air flow and began to really sleep.
