At the beginning, Qi Jingchun used the locust branch that Li Bao Vase moved, and the locust wood sword that was secretly cut out and quietly placed in Chen Ping'an's back basket, lived a golden incense villain of unknown origin.

It's just that after the two brief appearances of the Qiulu Inn and Cao's Zhilan Mansion, the shy incense villain never appeared again, and Chen Ping'an let it be natural and didn't force anything.

The night was deep, the Yang family's shop, the old man was smoking dry cigarettes, frowned, stretched out a grab, and the incense villain fell to the ground from the void.

Old man Yang said coldly: "Qi Jingchun has painstakingly hidden you, what do you want to do?"

She stood timidly on the ground, as if she was afraid of the old man, her hands clutching the corners of her clothes, her lips moving slightly.

The more Old Man Yang listened, the more his face wrinkled, and he pondered for a long time, "I agreed." ”

He knocked the ground with a cigarette stick, rolled out of a small temple, and stood in front of the incense villain.

The incense villain's face was full of excitement, and he was about to walk into it, when he suddenly raised his head and stopped talking.

Old man Yang said with a cold face: "Of course, it's best to know everything, but if you can't do this, you just don't know anything." That's how you can live well. ”

The incense villain still seemed a little hesitant, wanting to return to Mud Bottle Alley to say goodbye to the young man.

Old man Yang lifted the cigarette stick again and spit out heavy smoke, "Only when you put all your cleverness in your belly can you call it really smart." Do you really think that kid doesn't want to do anything, except for practicing boxing, he knows that he is kind and charitable, and when that good money boy, you follow him all the way, you are really stupid, he is not stupid. ”

The incense villain pursed her lips, a little deflated, but when she walked into the small temple, she was stunned.

She is like a very small grain of rice, in a large vat.

On the tall walls of the small temple, the names shine brightly, exuding the brilliance of different colors.

On the top of the incense villain's head, the stars are shining brightly and brilliantly.

The old man put away the cigarette stick, put his hands behind, walked out of the pharmacy with his hands on his back, and walked out of the town all the way, when he passed the stone arch bridge, he sighed, full of regret and incomprehension, slowly got off the stone bridge, and came to the blacksmith shop along the Longxu River, did not walk into it, but came to the river, and stomped her feet gently, the river god woman immediately flew upside down from the bottom of the river, her soul shook, and she was a little dizzy, and after finding out that it was the old man Yang, she immediately smiled flatteringly: "Why do you need to use the supreme supernatural power, just shout it." ”

Old man Yang said expressionlessly: "You go to the source of the Longxu River immediately, take the initiative to disperse half of the golden body, blend into the river, and help Ruan Qiong increase the gloomy weight of the water." ”

The young woman was stunned.

Cutting off half of the golden body, the old man said lightly, but whether it was the pain suffered during the period or the damage of the avenue, it was immeasurable.

The woman was eager to flee 108,000 miles away.

It's a pity that she can't escape.

Old man Yang added: "It's done, Ruan Qiong opened the furnace and successfully forged the sword, I will help you ask for a river temple, at most fifty or sixty years, you will be able to restore the complete golden body, and after a hundred years and thousands of years, the incense will be endless, this is a small amount of income, you will definitely earn." ”

The woman was submissive, her voice was weak and inaudible, "Breaking up half of the golden body, it's too painful, I'm afraid it hurts......"

The old man didn't speak, just looked at the sparkling surface of the dragon's beard.

The woman cautiously asked, "Daxian, can I refuse?"

Old man Yang nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The woman was overjoyed and surprised, when did this great immortal be so reasonable?

Old man Yang sneered: "I will break your entire golden body, the effect will be better." Don't worry, when your soul is gone, I will make amends to your children and grandchildren in the future. ”

The woman was a little desperate, and after some consideration, she asked in a trembling voice, "Daxian, the good fortune only falls on my grandson, okay?"

Her heart was full of luck, because she knew that no matter how this great immortal did things fairly, it was actually different for her grandson Ma Kuxuan.

But Old Man Yang still refused on the spot, "No." ”

The woman's face was as dead as ashes, and she said miserably: "Then I should go to the source of the Longsu River." ”

Old man Yang was noncommittal.

The river goddess gritted her teeth and began to swim up the river, crossing the stone arch bridge that was no longer unusual, and heading straight for the mountains.

Ruan Qiong came to the shore, stood beside the old man, and asked, "I am not in a hurry at all to help that girl forge a sword, whether it will be successful or not, and I have no idea of doing business with you." ”

"Sword forging is not a sale. ”

Old Man Yang shook his head and said, "But your daughter's true identity, I can help cover it up for thirty years, but you have to make sure that you create that sword as soon as possible, this is the deal I have to do." ”

Ruan Qiong's expression was as usual, and he smiled: "True identity?"

The old man said indifferently: "You Ruan Qiong only need to nod or shake your head." ”

Ruan Qiong was a little aggrieved, but he still nodded.

The old man smiled, "It's worth it when you look back." ”

Ruan Qiong asked a strange question, "So what counts as 'not worth it'?"

The old man smiled: "Ruan Qiong, it's not a good habit to eavesdrop on others." ”

Ruan Qiong confessed generously: "You, the eldest grandson of the Li family, Wei Yan, the three of you, I must keep an eye on you." ”

The old man nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It might be better to reverse the position between me and Li Xisheng." ”

Ruan Qiong smiled and asked, "A thousand years, or ten thousand years later?"

The old man stopped talking.

Once you enter the troubled times where a hundred schools of thought contend, heroes and geniuses will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, breaking the ground crazily, and overnight, it will be a new scene that changes the world.

The old man had seen that magnificent picture, and more than once.

Ruan Qiong is only a saint of the Bing family in the end, not a saint like the Yin and Yang family, although he has seen far away, such as the growth of his daughter Ruan Xiu, but it is still not far enough.

The old man suddenly said, "Of course it's not worth it, two ordinary people, what's the use of collecting souls, and the price you need to pay for it is not small." If it is replaced by Ma Kuxuan, of course, two words. ”

Ruan Qiong smiled and asked, "The seniors were not optimistic about Chen Ping'an from the beginning?"

Old man Yang said expressionlessly: "It's okay if someone is optimistic about him." ”

————

The reopening of the northbound post road has made the already lively Red Candle Town even more peaceful.

At night, a painting boat hanging green bamboo curtains, leisurely sailed out of the inlet, sailed to the town, just entered the river that divided the town into two, there was business coming to the door, it was a rich old man wearing brocade, and a middle-aged strong man in coarse linen clothes, looking like a rich old man with a nurse, went out to drink flower wine.

The painting boat belongs to the medium scale, there are five boat girls, two people support the boat, two play the piano and cook wine, and there is one beautiful lady with the most outstanding appearance, sitting next to the old man and serving carefully, like a small bird, which makes the old man in brocade laugh heartily, and stretched out his hand to point to the rough man opposite, "How about it, Lao Xie, people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, the old saying is right?"

The man didn't know whether he was annoyed or angry, or he was upright, so he took a glass of wine from the woman who cooked the wine, thanked him, and said to the old man: "Don't thank you, I don't know you well." ”

The old man was a thick-skinned man, and when he took the drink, he took the opportunity to touch the back of the boatgirl's hand, and did not forget to wink at the graceful woman and raise his eyebrows, making the boatgirl so disgusted that he couldn't do it, but he had to force a smile, and the old man didn't care about this, and took a sip of wine with taste, "You don't know me, but I know you well, your old Xie's name has spread from the northeast to our south." Every time I talk to my old friends about you, after they learn that you are fellow villagers with me, they beg me one by one to help introduce you, saying that they are such big heroes and heroes, and it is a pity that they don't see each other. ”

The man just frowned and said nothing, bowing his head and drinking.

The old man has two beards, sitting cross-legged at this time, his head is tilted, looking at the lights on the shore, rotating the wine glass with one hand, rubbing his beard with his fingers with the other, this dignity, how others look at it, how obscene it is, not to mention that the old man sits cross-legged, his knees deliberately against the plump buttocks of the woman next to him, and even the woman who is used to seeing the wind and snow has regretted not sitting next to the taciturn man.

When the old man raised his arm to stroke his beard, he showed a sleeve tube, and the boatmen who were good at observing words and colors in the painting boat were a little disappointed, it turned out that the old man had a dark green long rope tied around his wrist, if he wore it on the hand of a child, it was a little slender and cute, but it was really nondescript when worn on the old man's hand.

The old man suddenly retracted his gaze and asked the beautiful woman beside him, "You happy women, do you believe in the oath of the mountains and the sea?"

Not only did she not know how to answer, but the rest of the boatmen also looked at each other a little, not knowing what medicine the old man sold in the gourd.

The old man laughed and stretched out his hand to the man opposite, "Looking for him, it really works." He is a mountain king, in charge of many mountains, the mountain alliance and the sea oath, the mountain alliance and the sea oath, the mountain alliance here......"

The man frowned and said nothing, slowly drinking the wine, absent-minded.

The old man pointed to himself, "Actually, it's useful to find me, there is a very tall building in the world, the name is old and domineering, called Zhenhai Tower, on the seaside, my home is near Zhenhai Tower." ”

The man finally couldn't help it, his face was full of displeasure, "The surname is Cao, what are you doing with them to show this?"

The old man took a sip of wine, sandwiched a chopstick to the snacks, and squinted at the man, "It's interesting to talk about this with them who don't understand anything." Show off these things with the people on the mountain, that's what makes it boring. ”

The man's eyebrows were full of gloom, and he drank with his head bored.

The mountain alliance and the sea oath, in the market of the secular dynasty, are now mostly mentioned by storytellers who walk all over the world, and are mostly used for love between men and women, and its true meaning is long unknown to ordinary people.

In fact, this statement is quite important for the people on the mountain, which means that the cultivator can swear to the mountains and the sea respectively, and the oath has an indescribable binding force, which is more effective than the black and white words between the people under the mountain.

As long as the mountain is the Wuyue Zhengshan enshrined by the imperial court in the country, it is okay, the higher the realm of the qi practitioner, the higher the requirements for the rank of the mountain, most of them are alliances between major powers, or business contracts, and as time goes by, matchmaker marriage contracts gradually occupy the majority. The sea oath has lost most of its significance. Because with the fall of the last true dragon in the world, the five lakes and seas in the vast world, and the nine territories outside the nine continents, have no owner, and the secular dynasty has no power to enshrine the righteous gods of the five lakes and the four seas, so there is no justifiable water god who can come forward to rule the five giant lakes and the four vast and boundless seas.

Legend has it that the sun rises in the east and sets in the West Mountain, and this place of sunrise is somewhere in the East China Sea.

The old man surnamed Cao didn't care about the man's feelings at all, ate the appetizers, chewed loudly, stretched out his hand and put it on the thigh of the woman next to him, and asked with a smile: "This beautiful sister, do you know Xiongzhenlou?"

The woman shook her head.

"How can this work!" the old man gently patted the woman's sturdy and elastic thighs, "Junior Brother Rong, let me tell you, in our world, there are nine lucky buildings that I don't know who built them, and they stand in nine places. They are Zhenshan, Zhenguo, Zhenhai, Zhendemon, Zhendemon, Zhenxian, Zhenjian, Zhenlong, these eight towering and almost sky-high majestic high-rise buildings, all of which are two-word names, but the last one, is three words, the most strange, called ......"

The man slapped his chopsticks and said angrily: "Enough, Cao Xi, are you finished?!"

As the chopsticks slapped on the table, at the same time, all the boatgirls fell into a strange state, which did not prevent them from breathing, and their hand movements were skillful, but they seemed to have completely turned a blind eye to the two foreign guests who were close at hand on the ship.

"Now that we are here, the identities of the two of us will soon be seen through, you are really a character who went out from the Lizhu Cave Heaven, if you deliberately conceal your identity, it will make people suspicious, it is better to be like me, swaggering into the town, not to mention a fight, let Da Li see and understand, so that they don't take a land sword immortal seriously. ”

When Cao Xi said this, he glanced at the man opposite, and said with a smile: "It is said that Ju Luzhou's gratitude is bright and fair, like the sun hanging above his head, and he doesn't do anything bad in his life, what's the matter, this time I want to make an exception?"

Cao Xi leaned forward, picked up a pickled radish from a small pink and green porcelain dish, and threw it into his mouth, "Isn't it just a piece of broken porcelain, as long as you open your mouth and nod your head, I will help you solve it." Thank you, thank you, I really didn't say you, you said that we got into this situation, why do you still lead people by the nose?

The man sneered: "Aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?

Cao Xi said with a look of surprise: "Why, Lao Xie, you are not well-informed enough, I haven't heard that a junior in my family has just been engaged to a woman of the Chen family? Chen asked a master of the Lu family to help him calculate a hexagram, guess what, eight big characters! This is really not something I brag about, in our continent, it is really not a trivial matter." ”

Xie Shi sneered: "This kind of thing, you Cao Xi is not ashamed, how can you still be proud? Who gave you the face?"

Cao Xi's skin was as thick as a wall, and he asked rhetorically: "Why is it embarrassing? My daughter-in-law who was abducted by my descendants with real skills, why am I, the ancestor, not happy?"

Xie Shi clasped his hands around his chest, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Say, why did you call me here?" If it's about that porcelain, you don't have to say it anymore, I won't promise you, it's my own business, not to mention that I can't trust you Cao Xi." ”

Cao Xi sighed and rubbed his eyes, "It is worthy of being a well-known Xie Daxia, this body is awe-inspiring and upright, it is really dazzling, I have to rub my eyes quickly, otherwise I can't stand the ......"

This seemingly absurd old man, the green silk rope on his wrist reappeared.

Everyone in Nan Po Suo Continent knows that Cao Xi's swordsmanship is not top-notch among the land sword immortals, but his saber, as a magic weapon, is enough to rank among the top ten in a continent.

Cao Xi actually had a veritable river of water hanging on his wrist, rolling and flowing.

This river is Cao Xi's sword.

Xie Shi had heard about these non-secret news from other continents for a long time, but even so, he still asked directly: "Do you need to fight before you can shut up?"

Cao Xi just ate and drank, shook his head and said: "Po Suozhou all say that I Cao Xi is moody and has a perverse temperament. Thank you, do you think it's hard to deal with people like me?"

Xie Shi began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Whenever a passenger boarded the boat, after the business was negotiated, the boatwoman would take off a lantern hanging at a fixed position on the bow of the boat, signaling that the boat was full and would not accept customers.

Cao Xi shook his chopsticks, "Wrong, big mistake, the most difficult person in the world to deal with is a person like you Xie Shi, it's too difficult to communicate." ”

Xie Shi closed his eyes, "My patience is limited. ”

Cao Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." Some people can't see the rise of the Dali Song clan, you Xie Shi is just brainless, keep your promises, and have to go out of the mountain, so that the trip to the upside-down hanging mountain has to be delayed. ”

"It's not a coincidence, the mellow Confucian Chen family can't see Qi Jingchun's goodness, and even had a very bad impression of Da Li before, but now he has changed his mind, the reason is unknown, I don't care, anyway, the mellow Confucian Chen family is not only in the town, in the name of the Chen family in Longwei County, Aquarius, opened a school, but also let me go this far away, which is regarded as a bride price for the descendant of my family, in order to stop you and thank you. ”

"I don't know exactly what to do, but I'm going to keep an eye on you and keep an eye on you. ”

Xie Shi didn't open his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were a little sarcastic, "Are you sure you can stop it?"

Cao Xi finally finished eating all the dishes in the small plates, put down his chopsticks, and said confidently: "I'm not sure if I can beat you, but I'm sure I can stop you." ”

Xie Shi suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look.

A young swordsman, instead of hanging a long sword or carrying a long sword on his back, placed the long sword horizontally behind him, and lazily rested his elbows on the scabbard, just smiling and looking at Xie Shi.

This person was in the mansion of the ghost in the wedding dress where the plaque of "Xiushui High Wind" was hung, and he was not more than an inch out of the sheath, so he used a pocket mountain range that he moved in front of him to block the fierce sword of the land sword immortal Wei Jin.

In Red Candle Town, he met Ah Liang and drank alcohol. On the Embroidery River ferry, he greeted Chen Ping'an again, and it seemed that it was the first time Chen Ping'an had saluted with someone. In the end, he and one of his subordinates, Liu Prison, took Wei Yan of Qidun Mountain to Longquan.

Shenxiantai Wei Jin called him "the one of the Mo family" at that time.

————

Chen Ping'an sat in the room for a long time against the locust wooden sword, and finally found that he couldn't calm down, he couldn't read, he couldn't practice calligraphy, and he couldn't even walk the pile and the sword furnace.

Chen Ping'an then carried the basket on his back, loaded the Huai Mu sword, left the ancestral house, walked out of the mud bottle alley, and rushed straight to Luoluo Mountain.

When he appeared in front of the bamboo building, the boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in the pink skirt were surprised.

Chen Ping'an walked up to the second floor of the bamboo building, and his heart calmed down suddenly.

The girl in the pink skirt wanted to keep up, but was grabbed by the neck by the boy in Tsing Yi, and he whispered: "You are really stupid, don't you see that the master is not in a good mood?"

The girl in the pink skirt looked dazed.

The little boy in Tsing Yi dragged her to sit on the small bamboo chair on the first floor, and swore an oath: "With our master's temper, there are only two situations that can make him so wrong." ”

The girl in the pink skirt pricked up her ears and listened attentively.

The boy in Tsing Yi stretched out a finger and lowered his voice: "One situation is that the money is lost, and the amount is not small. ”

The girl in the pink skirt thinks so.

The little boy in Tsing Yi smiled evilly: "Then the old man has been seriously injured, such as tossing and turning alone, sleepless, and having a whim, he ran to confess to Miss Ruan Xiu, but she refused." Or when he confessed to his beloved girl, he had to inch in, wanted to kiss him, hugged him hard, and then slapped Miss Ruan and scolded a stinky hooligan, which made our master angry, so he had to come to the bamboo building to cool and cool. ”

The girl in the pink skirt will be suspicious: "The master will not do such a thing." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi sighed, "You don't understand us men." ”

Chen Ping'an sat on his legs on the second floor, looking into the distance through the gap in the railing.

The locust sword rests horizontally on the knee.

He took out the silver sword embryo and stared down at it, unlike the strange movement in Mud Bottle Alley, the sword embryo was as quiet as a dead thing.

For some reason, Chen Ping'an is already in a peaceful mood, even more stable than when he usually practices boxing, with a clear mind and clear thoughts.

Chen Ping'an raised his head again, clenched the sword embryo in his palm, and said in a calm tone: "It's not mine, even if it's under my feet, after I pick it up, I will only take the initiative to find the owner and return it to others." It's mine, it's mine, you can't go anywhere, even if you escape to the edge of the sky, I'll get you back. ”

The silver sword embryo gradually became warm, and it didn't take long for it to be hot.

Chen Ping'an gritted his teeth, just held it tightly with one hand, and gently placed the other hand on the Huaimu sword as some kind of emotional support, and then he had to hold the sword body tightly.

The palms of his hands had already been burned red.

The pain is heart-wrenching, and the soul is trembling.

The pain caused by the burning of the sword embryo, in addition to the flesh and blood of the skin, is more of a horror similar to the melting copper juice poured on the heart.

The method of eighteen stops the operation of sword qi naturally began to flow, impacting those qi points with names that were very different from today's ones again and again, desperately resisting the shock caused by the fire.

Chen Ping'an had been stagnant between six and seven before, and he couldn't break through that threshold alive or dead.

No matter how Chen Ping'an practiced boxing and piles, and how he practiced with the children in Tsing Yi to temper his physique, he couldn't do it, so he couldn't enter the door.

In order to reduce the degree of pain perception as much as possible, Chen Ping'an's body trembled violently, and he began to have to try his best to be distracted to think about other places, to think about the content of the sage classics recited aloud by Cui Dongshan, to think about the prescription font of the young Taoist Lu Shen, to think about the sword of the Fengxue Temple Wei Jin to break through the sky and break ten thousand laws, and to imagine the strange scene of the white rainbow flying sword hitting the spring leaves and autumn wind in the mud bottle alley today......

It's still useless to think about everything.

In addition to the blurred flesh and blood of Chen Ping'an's palms, which were glued to the sword embryo, he also began to bleed from the seven orifices, and that's not all, the tiny pores of the skin of the whole body began to ooze blood, and finally condensed into shocking blood beads.

The appearance is miserable, but the inside is even more unbearable, and the meridians between the qi in the body are like being trampled by the hooves of an iron horse.

Chen Ping'an finally thought of a girl.

He smiled.

I can only smile.

Because Chen Ping'an's face had already been distorted into a stiff and rigid hideous look, it was impossible to change in the slightest.

Chen Ping'an is still silently suffering from great pain.

From beginning to end, there was no word.

He was already confused, confused, and in a daze, Chen Ping'an thought of a personal name, wandering, familiar, the scene will be relatively clear and long-lasting, and the less familiar will disappear in a flash.

There is like, admiration, respect, fear, disgust, disgust, pity, hatred, doubt......

Knock knock knock......

If someone is knocking on the young man's heart with his finger.

It's like asking something.

Up to the heart.

There is only a trace of consciousness to support the young man who is unwilling to admit defeat, and he can only answer with his heart, and even he will not know the answer.

When manpower is exhausted.

Chen Ping'an finally couldn't support it, fell backwards, slammed the back of his head on the green bamboo ground, and was slightly sober.

Buzz.

I only felt a strange movement in my stomach.

The human body is a small world, and suddenly the sword roars unevenly!
