The heavy rain smashed on the bamboo hats of the two of them, crackling.

Chen Ping'an said in a deep voice: "This hairpin is very ordinary, just ordinary jade. ”

Ah Liang stared at the serious young man, as if he heard the biggest joke in the world, bared his teeth, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "It doesn't matter what you said." ”

Chen Ping'an's forehead was oozing sweat, but it was quickly washed away by the rain splashing on his face, looked at the man, and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Ah Liang smiled and asked, "Do you think you're going to die?"

Chen Ping'an suddenly felt desperate at this moment.

Because Master Ruan has been here and gone.

And the man in front of him was still standing in front of him.

Ah Liang is still the smiling Ah Liang, carrying the green bamboo knife cross-legged.

The man smiled at the young man, not tall, with thin clothes, sturdy straw sandals, and of course, the finishing touch of the jasper hairpin.

If he is not mistaken, the hairpin is engraved with eight small characters that are beautiful and shiny.

Chen Ping'an's lips were blue, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Can you let them go?"

Ah Liang did not speak.

Chen Ping'an lit the lamp and stayed up late the night before leaving, imagining all the predicaments as much as possible, he didn't think that this time he went to the Mountain Cliff Academy to study, and he would encounter big and small hurdles on the road, because just his enemies, there were Yunxia Mountain, Laolongcheng and Zhengyang Mountain on the bright side, all of them were immortals on the mountain, but they all had a life and death enmity with him, so Chen Ping'an was very worried that because of himself, it would affect the study of the little girl in the red cotton jacket.

That day, I told Li Baohua about the ups and downs of going into the mountains when he was a child, not because the young man wanted to complain and wanted to put on the prestige of the little uncle, but because Chen Ping'an wanted to tell the little girl one thing, that is, they went to the academy that had been moved to Dasui, and the distance was definitely farther than when he went into the mountains to collect medicine. If one day he is gone and there is no way to be by her side, and Li Baohua wants to go there to study, just because she has no confidence in herself, then Chen Ping'an hopes that she can go into the mountain like that time, walk a few more steps, walk, and maybe she will come.

It's just that at that time, these words ran to his mouth, Chen Ping'an suddenly felt that the two of them had just started to travel far away, and it was too unlucky to say such words, so he only said half of it, and swallowed the other half back into his stomach, and changed it to hope that she could become the first little master, Mr. Woman. It is not only to please auspiciousness, but also to Chen Ping'an's expectations for the little girl.

Ah Liang said with a smile: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, that hairpin is an ordinary literati ornament, and it doesn't belong to you." Take a hundred steps back and say, I don't believe that the hairpin that Qi Jingchun has solemnly kept for so many years will have no hidden mysteries, such as that it is actually an unknown small cave heaven, or a feng shui treasure land with the qualifications to become a blessed land. If you only take a step back, it will be even more powerful, it may be a token of the cultural lineage, just like the token of the three main veins of Taoism, a peach talisman, a feather coat and a Taoist crown. If it is true, the hairpin is really Qi Jingchun's husband's token, Chen Ping'an, do you think it is appropriate to wear it on top of your head?"

Chen Ping'an replied: "Ah Liang, can you let Li Bao and Li Huai go of them?"

Ah Liang smiled and asked, "How can you be sure that I promised you and will not regret it afterwards?"

Chen Ping'an's toes moved slightly.

Ah Liang clasped his hands around his chest and said with a smile: "Don't be impulsive, young man, aren't we reasoning, wait until the reason doesn't make sense, and then it's not too late to do it." ”

Chen Ping'an was silent, his face pale.

Ah Liang looked the boy up and down, "It's really a bit like that." ”

Ah Liang restrained his joke and stretched out his hand, "Hand over the hairpins, I won't kill them." ”

Chen Ping'an's fingers trembled.

Ah Liang said slowly: "This is Qi Jingchun's relic of Mr., and this is also Qi Jingchun's relic. ”

Chen Ping'an raised his arm and stretched it out to the top of his head.

Ah Liang smiled: "You break the hairpin with your own hands, I won't kill you." I never lie. ”

Chen Ping'an suddenly stopped his hand, took a deep breath, and retreated with one foot, like a fighting start.

Ah Liang asked: "Do you think that if you die anyway, I will let Li Baohua and them go, so even if you die, you have to try it, can you protect this hairpin with your ability?"

Chen Ping'an didn't say a word, stepped on the ground in two steps, rushed to Ah Liang's body, and threw a punch.

The next moment, Chen Ping'an suddenly found that there was no longer Ah Liang's figure in front of him.

Chen Ping'an's body turned around stiffly, and sure enough, the man with the hat was standing there, but there was an extra hairpin in his hand.

Ah Liang sighed, didn't seem to have much interest in the hairpin at all, stretched out his hand and handed it to the young man, "Take it back." ”

Chen Ping'an cautiously stepped forward a few steps, took the jasper hairpin from him, and in an instant the young man only felt that the top of his head sank, it turned out that the man with the hat gently pressed a hand on his head, and the two stood side by side, but the two were facing the opposite. The man who had always shown his face as a hanger sighed, "Chen Ping'an, don't do stupid things in the future, how can there be dead things in the world, more important than human lives? ”

The man in the hat patted Chen Ping'an's head, looked up at the dark sky, and said with a smile: "You must know that no matter how valuable this hairpin is and how significant it is, since Qi Jingchun is willing to hand it over to you, he must believe in you, so as long as you need to make a choice between life and death, you must choose life, not death." Heroic and fierce to death, impassioned to die, romantic and freehand to die, but to die is to die. ”

The man with the hat withdrew his hand, "Qi Jingchun is very disappointed in this world, that's his business, you Chen Ping'an is you, don't learn from him, you haven't really seen the good and bad of this world." Life is less than 100, often with a thousand years of worries, that's their scholar's business, I'm not a scholar, and you're not Chen Ping'an for the time being, so ......"

In the end, the man didn't say the original content after "so", but just said softly: "Chen Ping'an, believe in my vision, you can go a long way in the future, even farther than Qi Jingchun." ”

The young man asked in a loud voice, "Why?"

The man's palm gently rubbed the handle of the bamboo knife and said with a smile: "Because I am Ah Liang." ”

The two eventually walked down the hill together in silence.

Chen Ping'an asked, "Two people on the hillside over there?"

Ah Liang thought for a moment, "Dead man?"

Chen Ping'an wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it, but still didn't get to the bottom of this question, changed the topic and asked, "Why don't you take the hairpin?"

The corners of Ah Liang's mouth twitched, and he lamented: "After I got the hairpin, I realized that it was only 10,000 steps back than I imagined, not to mention that it was tens of thousands of steps back, it was really just a broken hairpin, so what do I want it to do?"

The boy was speechless.

Ah Liang shook his head and said, "Real scholars are poor, you will understand later." I should have thought a long time ago, according to the temper of the old man in Daode Lin and Qi Jingchun's temperament, it is normal to pass down such an ordinary hairpin. ”

Ah Liang suddenly smiled and turned his head, "You know, you took the same thing that I thought was in the bag, do you know how many wrongful roads I have taken for this?"

The hat is raining, and the boy is confused.

Ah Liang snorted angrily: "I have even carved a word somewhere, but in the end, when I came to my fart, the result was such a bleak situation, so you have to thank me for not killing." ”

Ah Liang said to himself: "If you don't have the ability to carve two or three words there in the future, see if I don't cut you." ”

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Ah Liang, can you say something that I can understand?"

"Yes. ”

Ah Liang laughed and said, "My name is Ah Liang, kind Liang." ”

Chen Ping'an helped him finish the next sentence, "I am a swordsman." ”

At this moment, the corners of Ah Liang's mouth curled, and he slapped the young man on the shoulder, "Then it's decided!"

Chen Ping'an was even more puzzled, "Huh?"

Ah Liang has already put aside the topic, "I will send you to the border of Dali and leave, I believe that at that time, you children will also be able to travel and study refreshingly, and there will be no more smoky miasma for the time being, so after that, you will have to ask for more blessings, whether you can take them to the Dasui Mountain Cliff Academy, and then whether you can return to Dali Longquan County alive depends on your own ability." ”

Chen Ping'an said suddenly: "Thank you." ”

From the first time they met, until now, the boy began to completely trust this man who called himself Ah Liang.

Ah Liang shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just making up for my debts, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Many years ago, there was a young scholar surnamed Qi, who was tired of reading and said that he wanted to go with him to explore the rivers and lakes, but the swordsman named Ah Liang did not nod his head and agreed.

The man felt that if he had been a little more patient at that time, the boy would not have come to this point.

Ah Liang finally said: "Chen Ping'an, do you know?"

The boy said, "What?"

Ah Liang said earnestly: "In the future, a peerless master like me will have to respect from the bottom of my heart." ”

The young man asked curiously, "Can you beat the Zhu River?"

Ah Liang had a headache.

I think this guy is even more annoying than Qi Jingchun back then.
