When Chen Ping'an returned to the ancestral house in Mud Bottle Lane, the girl in the pink skirt was cleaning the yard with a broom, and the boy in Tsing Yi was lying on the edge of the small water tank, opening his mouth wide on the water surface, and there was a distance of two feet, but there was a column of water going upstream, which was sucked into the mouth of the boy in Tsing Yi.

Chen Ping'an sat on the threshold, and the girl in the pink skirt noticed that her master was a little strange, and she opened her mouth empathetically without bothering. In fact, the yard has long been cleaned by Ruan Xiu, but the girl in the pink skirt always feels that if she doesn't do something, she will have a bad conscience, and she can't stand the snake gallstone generously given by the master.

Chen Ping'an traveled thousands of miles, and suddenly remembered that Cui Dongshan had talked about Song Jixin, stood up, took out the set of keys that Song Jixin secretly threw in his yard when he left the town, and ran to open the courtyard door of the house next door, and sure enough, he saw three stacked books on the study table, "Primary School", "Lile", and "Guanzhi".

Chen Ping'an moved a chair and sat and flipped through the "Primary School".

In the second half of this trip, I walked with Cui Dongshan, and often listened to him recite the classics, only to know that "Primary School" is not simple, just look at the title of the book, at first glance, you may feel that this is a "very small knowledge", but according to Cui Dongshan's casual chat, among the secular school and Mr. Teaching, "Primary School" will never be regarded as a classic of Mongolian learning, probably only Mr. Qi can preach and solve the confusion so deeply and easily that Li Baohua They never felt that the "Primary School" was so big.

Chen Ping'an did not take the three books back to his ancestral home, and after turning over more than ten pages of "Primary School", he felt that he could not do it with only his trivial knowledge and kung fu.

Chen Ping'an had no choice but to close the book, take out the silver sword embryo from his sleeve, gently hold it in the palm of his hand, and continue to sit on the threshold of his house in a daze as before.

Passing by the stone arch bridge twice, there was no sense, and in the dark, Chen Ping'an realized that she would really disappear for a whole time, and used half of the dragon slaying platform to sharpen the blade. As for the Dragon Slaying Platform, which has already been divided into three, it has been divided by the tripartite forces of Ruan Qiong, Fengxue Temple and Zhenwu Mountain, if she acts like this, will she cause trouble, Chen Ping'an has no way to speculate, let alone interfere.

At the beginning, on that snowy night in the cold winter, the girl fainted at the gate of her own courtyard, Chen Ping'an saved her, but she finally became Song Jixin's maidservant, renamed from Wang Zhu to Zhigui, and finally followed Song Jixin, whose real identity was the prince of Dali, to go to the capital together.

Kiln Supervision Bureau, Covered Bridge Plaque "Wind and Water", bottomless lock dragon well, every locust leaf contains the old locust tree of ancestral shade, the old porcelain mountain of the fairy tomb......

Not to mention that there are so many land snakes and river dragons in the town.

Mess.

No wonder Old Man Yang would say, one day, you, Chen Ping'an, will find out how big this town is.

Thinking of the old man in the pharmacy who advocated fair trade, Chen Ping'an's expression was gloomy, he gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, subconsciously clenched the sword embryo in his palm, stood up, hid the sword embryo in his sleeve pocket, and left the house abandoned by Song Jixin. Back at his home, Chen Ping'an handed the girl in the pink skirt the string of keys to Liu Xianyang's house, and asked the two of them to move over there, after all, the house in Mud Bottle Lane was too small.

The boy in Tsing Yi hadn't drunk enough well water, so he got up from the water tank babblingly, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Master, didn't you use an ordinary snake gallstone to exchange a lot of rags with me...... Rare bottles, since you have such a close relationship with Miss Ruan, why don't you give her those Yunxia bottles and Yuehua bottles as gifts? Master, judging from my rich experience in galloping the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, the women in the world, no matter how high your status is, they all like bells and whistles, no better than a piece of broken bamboo slip?"

The boy in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "What, is it because the old man is reluctant to give those bunch of baby bottles to Ruan Xiu? Then I have to dare to say a few words to the master, Ruan Xiuke is the only daughter of a soldier saint, and the master is to give away all 10,000 bottles, which is still a good deal!"

Chen Ping'an helped the girl in the pink skirt carry the bookcase, and said angrily: "Don't you see that Master Ruan doesn't like me?"

The boy in Tsing Yi carefully recalled the scene at that time, as if the sage lord who was like a sullen turtle was indeed lukewarm to Chen Ping'an, and the boy in Tsing Yi hugged him unevenly and said: "He is blind, so he can't see that your future is bright, master, don't be angry, your body is not worth ...... when you are angry."

Suddenly remembered that Ruan Qiong was the master of this heaven and earth, within the jurisdiction, if the emperor sat on the dragon chair, that is the whole world, it is not the king's land, so he has many unimaginable Taoist powers, the boy in Tsing Yi quickly slapped himself, "Tong Yan Wu Ji Tong Yan Wu Ji, the sage dozed off, I didn't hear anything, don't blame me if I hear it......

The boy in Tsing Yi asked again: "But whether this bottle is sent to Ruan Xiu or not, what does it have to do with whether Ruan Shengren likes the master or not?"

Chen Ping'an explained casually: "I want to send bottles, I must send them out, when Miss Ruan goes home with such a large number of bottles and cans, most of them will be discovered by Master Ruan, and I will be even more annoying, maybe he will be mistaken for ill-intentioned, and in case Miss Ruan and her father have a dispute, it will not be good after all." ”

The girl in the pink skirt nodded abruptly and said, "The master is really thoughtful." ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi was shocked, "Master, what do you mean by mistakenly thinking that you have bad intentions, don't you have obvious ill intentions towards that Ruan Xiu?"

"What nonsense!"

Chen Ping'an slapped the boy in Tsing Yi on the back of the head, making him stumble out of the threshold, and the boy in Tsing Yi ran to the yard, stood at the gate of the courtyard, turned around and said with a hippie smile: "Master, don't kill people, I promise to keep my mouth shut like a bottle, more than Li Bao's bottle, and more than a bottle around Liang!"

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to support his forehead, feeling faceless.

The girl in the pink skirt looked at the mud bottle alley outside the courtyard gate, and once again felt that her eyes had been opened. The first time was to feel the abundant aura of Longquan County, the second time was to see the potential mountain assets of the Luoluo Mountain, the third time was to see the handsome and extraordinary Wei Yan, and the fourth time was to walk into the beautiful bamboo building that can condense the luck of the mountains and rivers.

Now it is the fifth time, and in the eyes of the girl in the pink skirt, there is a radiant and elegant reader, standing in the dark alley, and at this moment, it is like the rising sun.

The man in the green shirt smiled and asked, "What's wrong with my vase?"

The boy in Tsing Yi suddenly tensed his body, turned his head stiffly, and after seeing the young man, he looked left and right, and there was no one else, full of suspicion.

The girl in the pink skirt blinked vigorously, this fire python who grew up in the Zhilan Cao Clan's study, found that the scholar seemed to have lost all his brilliance in an instant, no matter how you looked at it, he was just an ordinary scholar man.

The boy in Tsing Yi grew wise, even if he didn't see the clues of the young man, he still didn't say anything, and smiled and pretended to be stupid, "Li Baohua is my master's best friend, so I can admire that little girl, may I ask you?"

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Chen Ping'an had already uncovered the mystery, for fear that the boy in Tsing Yi would make a moth and walk to the gate of the courtyard.

Li Xisheng said with a little guilt: "I forgot to say, the books I gave you earlier, in the blank space of the pages, there are many annotations and questions that I personally felt, the ink criticism is some superficial annotations, and the Zhu criticism is some questions that I want to ask the sage face-to-face." I'm here to tell you that you don't have to worry about these words for the time being, don't read them if you can, just forget it, don't let me misinterpret the original purpose and meaning of a book because of my thoughts. ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "I wrote it down." ”

Li Xisheng smiled and turned his head to look at the boy in Tsing Yi, and said softly: "It's okay to joke, but remember that if you say too much, you will lose." Every word in the world has power. Words are combined into words, words are concatenated into sentences, and sentences fit into articles. The avenue is in it. ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi looked up at his head and stared at this inexplicable reader, sneering in his stomach, but he didn't blurt out, and endured a little hard. If it weren't for the fact that he had just suffered in the blacksmith shop, the boy in Tsing Yi wanted to ask you that this guy is so good as a teacher, why don't you go to Confucianism to be a saint in the Academy of Confucianism?

Li Xisheng seemed to see through the thoughts of the boy in Tsing Yi at a glance, and even heard his heart directly, smiled kindly, and patiently explained: "Buddhism has a second order, Taoism has a step by step method of the Changsheng Bridge and a ladder to the sky, and we Confucianism have step-by-step rules, so I have to participate in the imperial examination first, as for whether I can become a Confucian saint in the future, it is too far away to dare to hope." ”

The little boy in Tsing Yi was like a mourner, and he didn't dare to look at the scholar anymore, but he just turned his head and looked at Chen Ping'an for help, his expression was desolate, he had nothing to love, and he didn't dare to say a word.

It feels like complaining to my own master, this Longquan County is really terrible, casually walking over and sitting on a bamboo chair, he is a soldier saint, and he casually runs alone and stands in the alley, he is a Confucian gentleman who can see through his own thoughts?

So next time, will someone casually punch themselves to death?

The girl in the pink skirt blushed, plucked up her courage, and asked aloud, "Sir, why do we often suddenly lose recognition of certain words when we are reading?

Li Xisheng was slightly surprised, looked at the petite and cute girl in the pink skirt, and knew something in his heart, revealing a trace of appreciation, this Li family scholar bent down, winked at her, lowered his voice slightly, and said half-truthfully: "Because at a certain moment, some words were secretly borrowed by some saints." ”

The girl in the pink skirt was a little angry, she would have a special stubbornness in the matter of books and learning, and she actually taught others a lesson for the first time, "If the gentleman doesn't know the correct answer, don't solve the puzzle randomly, where can there be such an unreasonable thing in the world......!"

The further back, the weaker the girl in the pink skirt became, and her voice became lower and lower, so that in the end, she was so weak that she probably couldn't even hear herself.

Chen Ping'an smiled and patted the little head of the girl in the pink skirt, and said to Li Xisheng: "Brother Li, don't be angry, she is not like this in general. ”

Li Xisheng laughed heartily and said happily: "That's good." ”

Hearing that Chen Ping'an was going elsewhere, Li Xisheng left Mud Bottle Lane with him.

Chen Ping'an suddenly found that in the alley in front of him, there was a young man standing with his hands behind his back...... Swordsman?

On the waist of the swordsman near Chen Ping'an's side, a short sword that was only slightly longer than a dagger was hung, and on the other side, a saber that was much longer than an ordinary long sword was hung.

The scabbard of the short sword is snow-white, and the scabbard of the long sword is pitch black.

The young swordsman's side face is feminine, and the corners of his mouth are congenitally habitually upturned, giving people the feeling that he is smiling all the time, so that his appearance is quite like a fox. He narrowed his eyes at this time, staring at the old mansion that was far more complete than he had imagined, which made the young swordsman feel a little unhappy instead of happy.

The young swordsman turned his head and looked at Chen Ping'an and his party with a "smile", his tone was soft, and his voice was warm: "Do you know who repaired this house?"

Chen Ping'an's face didn't change in the slightest, and asked, "What's the matter, the house is broken, shouldn't it be repaired?"

The young swordsman shook his head and smiled: "Don't talk about whether the cultivation is good or not, but is there any such thing as 'Tai Sui's head breaking ground' in your Dali Longquan County?"

Although the young swordsman had been laughing, Chen Ping'an didn't dare to take it lightly at all, and even felt a chill in his heart.

This seemingly well-spoken young foreigner is dangerous!

Li Xisheng suddenly stepped out, stretched out his hand to stop Chen Ping'an and the three behind him, and said softly: "Stand behind me, don't say don't do it next, just look at it." ”

The young swordsman smiled even more, holding the hilt of the saber with both hands, shaking his head, trying to find Chen Ping'an behind the scholar in the green shirt, and finally stood still, "Why, so coincidentally, I just met the main master? As for you, what do you want to do, look for death?"

Li Xisheng said with a smile: "The truth can be explained well, sword, don't just take it out of the sheath." ”

The young swordsman shrugged his shoulders and smiled innocently, "But the truth is in the scabbard." ”

Li Xi Shengyun sighed lightly, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and suddenly said, "It turns out that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to me?"

The young swordsman smiled, "It's not as complicated as you think, I don't even know your last name." I just saw you for the first time, and it was not pleasing to the eye, and after listening to your nonsense, it became even more uncomfortable. Wouldn't it be beautiful to just hit the right shot, killing two birds with one stone, and even you and that little guy taught a lesson together?"

The young swordsman pressed his palm against the hilt of the short sword, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I, Cao Jun, use the sword and rarely kill." ”

Li Xisheng frowned and asked, "Your ancestor is Sword Immortal Cao Xi?"

The young swordsman sighed, and replied to the question: "You scholar, why bother to come, with my Cao Jun's identity cultivation, even if you don't like that young man, how can you bully him? At most, it's just a little bit of martial arts foundation that broke him, and as a result, you have to be the first bird, if you are big enough, or too small, it's okay to say, if your ability is not up or down, you only lose to me by half a chip, and then the young man is angry with me, don't you hurt him?"

After the young swordsman said this, he grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Okay, don't go around in circles, let's be honest, I, Cao Jun, am gifted and able to perceive certain strange existences, such as ...... A piece of sword embryo. Everything else, what is unauthorized to move my ancestral house, what is to see you as an eyesore, it is ...... It's true. But don't worry, I'll bid on the sword embryo, and the price is definitely not low. As for whether you will feel forced to buy and sell, it's none of my business. ”

Li Xisheng asked, "Before you are ready to start, can I ask you a question, what is your current realm?"

"There's no such thing as asking this before a fight, but since you're so funny, I really don't mind answering you. The young swordsman squinted his eyes and sneered, and when he mentioned the way of the sword and the realm, he suddenly became like gold, "Sword, eight, nine, between." ”

Li Xisheng nodded, "Got it." ”

The sword embryo in Chen Ping'an's sleeve gradually became hot, Chen Ping'an wrapped his left hand around his back, twisted his wrist, and held it tightly.

Ruan Qiong had recently come to the banks of the Longxu River from time to time, reaching into the water to weigh the weight of the yin qi contained in the river.

The boy with long eyebrows often followed behind the man.

Ruan Qiong squatted on the bank of the river today, suddenly poured out the river water in his palm, and snorted coldly, "If you have a good ancestor, you dare to break my rules?" ”

Above the river, the confrontation scene in Mud Bottle Alley gradually emerged.

The young man with long eyebrows looked at the young man who was wearing a long and short sword, and stretched out his finger to point, "Master, is it him?"

Ruan Qiong nodded, revealing the heavenly secret and said: "His ancestors have produced a sword immortal named Cao Xi, thank you to your ancestor, you can be regarded as one of the few people in our Aquarius Continent, in other continents, you can stand firm, start a sect, and divide one side, it is indeed good." ”

The young man with long eyebrows didn't seem to be very interested in this, just staring at the picture on the river, "Master, what do you say? ”

"Stop the fart!"

Ruan Qiong sneered: "When he hurts someone, I will kill him, this is the rule." ”

The young man with long eyebrows asked the reason for this conflict, and after Ruan Qiong roughly said it, the young man said in surprise: "Under your nose, Master, that Cao Jun still dares to buy and sell when he sees money, and the people outside are so arrogant and unreasonable?"

Ruan Qiong said expressionlessly: "If you want to seek heavenly treasures, you need to use worldly wealth. What's so strange, since that sword embryo, even I couldn't see the mystery before, but it was so valued by Cao Jun, which shows that Cao Jun has a unique vision, and once that sword embryo reveals its true face, it must be extremely shocking, if it weren't here, Cao Jun would still be somewhat restrained, let alone bid, just kill people and leave. ”

The young man with long eyebrows, who had just set foot in cultivation and had not been climbing the mountain for a long time, felt that this world was too unbelievable, and asked, "Master, how did such a wicked person become such a powerful qi practitioner?"

"You haven't read a book, what do you talk about good and evil? Remember, the mountains don't talk about that. ”

Ruan Qiong stood up, and after leaving a sentence, his figure flashed away.

————

In the Li family's mansion, an old man teased the caged bird, in fact, he was absent-minded, his eyes were full of expectant smiles, lest the world be chaotic, and muttered: "Hurry up and fight, one blow, the carp jumps the dragon gate, no one in the world knows the king......"

————

On the top of Phiyun Mountain, Wei Bai, who was fluttering in white, sat cross-legged on a cloud of mist, less than a foot from the ground, Wei Bai slept soundly, and his head fell from time to time, like a chicken pecking rice.

Under the mist, it was crowded with birds and beasts, all wishing to get close to the cloud, as close as possible to the white-clothed god with a golden ring hanging from his ear.

A body fell to the ground, and the top of the mountain really showed birds and beasts.

Wei Yan was sleepy-eyed, his face was dazed, and after discovering the figure of the man, the clouds and mist dispersed, and he floated to the ground, "Rare guests, honored and honored." ”

Ruan Qiong said in an unfamiliar tone: "Just to remind you, Sword Immortal Cao Xi may be killed here in the near future, and you can stand by and watch when the time comes, but don't fan the flames." ”

Wei Yan glanced at the small town's mud bottle lane, "Is someone deliberately using Cao Xi as an article for you and Da Li?

Ruan Qiong's face was solemn.

The rest is good, it's nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, I'm afraid it's against his daughter.

Ruan Qiong looked at the town, but it was not the mud bottle alley where the war was imminent, but the Yang family's shop.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruan Qiong came and went in a hurry.

Wei Yan complained: "I'm annoyed, I have calculated and calculated, and there is no stop." ”

He also disappeared in a flash, and the next moment he came to the Luoluo Mangosteen Building, lying in the corridor on the second floor, and continued to sleep.

The water fell out, and it turned out that the dragon was entrenched. The wind and grass are blowing, and they are already eyeing the tiger.
