After Ruan Xiu ran back to the blacksmith shop, he found that his father was the only one sitting on the bamboo chair under the eaves, handed over the pot of wine, and then sat on another chair by himself, "Dad, are you done talking?"

Ruan Qiong opened the wine jug, no need to drink, just sniffed, there was a little headache, it was a peach blossom spring burn, but where do you need two taels of silver for the best peach blossom spring burn, it is clearly the cheapest spring burnt that only needs eight coins of silver for a pot, Ruan Qiong caught a glimpse of his own daughter who was a thief with a weak heart, twisting the corners of her clothes with both hands, her eyes wandered, and she was clearly afraid that she would expose her, Ruan Qiong sighed in her heart, so she had to pretend that she didn't find anything, and raised her head and poured a sip of wine, she was really depressed and aggrieved, and the man said slowly: " After the talk, the talk was okay, and I asked people to go to the Kiln Affairs Office, find the Dali official named Wu Kite, and take the old and new maps of the situation of mountains and rivers, and it is estimated that after Chen Ping'an comes to his senses, he will come to ask me for it. ”

Ruan Xiu was relieved, smiled and sighed, stretched her legs together, stretched out comfortably, and leaned on the smooth and cool back of the small bamboo chair.

Ruan Qiong thought that he was going to open up the situation here, everything was difficult at the beginning, the omen was good, and his mood was a little better, and it was rare to say a good word from Chen Ping'an, "That kid in Mud Bottle Lane has a simple temperament, but he is not stupid." ”

Ruan Xiu smiled happily: "Dad, that's called great wisdom and foolishness, do you know?"

Ruan Qiong smiled and didn't say anything.

Men are just slandering in their hearts, and I know that the wisdom of a hammer is foolish.

Ruan Qiong looked at the stream in the distance, held the neck of the wine jug with two fingers, and shook it gently, "There are some words, it is inconvenient for my father to tell him directly, lest he want to think too much, but it will be self-defeating. ”

Ruan Xiu asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Ruan Qiong was silent for a moment, picked up the wine jug and drank a small sip of spirits, and then said: "You just tell him, don't have extravagant hopes for Longji Mountain, even some people who have no roots in the Five Realms may not dare to open this mouth, such a large piece of dragon slaying platform, Fengxue Temple and Zhenwu Mountain took a lot of effort, plus my father's current identity, I barely ate it, and there are still many people who are secretly red-eyed and hide behind the scenes and secretly grit their teeth." Of course, you don't have to explain these curves to Chen Ping'an, just tell him straightforwardly, and Longji Mountain doesn't need to think about it. After all, there are only more than sixty peaks in total, and he Chen Ping'an can only buy five mountains at most, no matter how many they are, it will be difficult for me to protect him and his mountains. Third, Dad has just made up his mind to ask Da Li for the three mountains dominated by Shenxiu Mountain, when you ask Chen Ping'an to check the situation map, pay attention to the large and small mountains around Shenxiu Mountain, Picklamp Mountain and Hengli Peak, Dad is not an unreasonable person, he will not let him spend all his money to buy nearby, only need him to take out half of the gold and copper coins. Having said that, if he is really smart, it is the right way to buy more mountains and one peak around your father. Finally, you can also tell him that if you can leave a few copper coins, buy a few shops in the town, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of good shops to change hands in the future, because many small town portals that are related to the outside are most likely to move out, so the price is definitely not expensive, and it is a copper coin to die. ”

Ruan Xiu asked tentatively: "Dad, why don't you buy the New Year's shop?" Didn't you put away my two bags of copper coins, you can give me one back first, just one, how about it?"

Ruan Qiong smiled and said, "Don't think about the copper coins that my father has saved here, I advise you to die quickly." By the way, you can let Chen Ping'an pay for it, now he is the rich man of our town. ”

Ruan Xiu said without hesitation: "Then how can it be done, he is poor, and he has to borrow more than a dozen taels of silver." ”

The corners of Ruan Qiong's mouth twitched, she couldn't help it, she turned her head and asked, "Oh, Dad's money is not money, just him Chen Ping'an?"

Ruan Xiu smiled: "I'm not unfamiliar with him." ”

Ruan Qiong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, this is not familiar? Not familiar, you can let your father drink this kind of rotten wine with a clear conscience, and then fill your own pockets, just to lend money to that bastard? Girl, how ripe do you think is ripe? Ruan Qiong poured a mouthful of mediocre soju and stood up, "Anyway, my father has said everything, you can choose some words by yourself, and talk to Chen Ping'an tomorrow." ”

The man strode away, and his practical ass knew what to say, what not to say, and what the girl would say tomorrow.

The more Ruan Qiong thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, the girl couldn't scold, the rabbit cub who was carrying a small hoe and planing the corner of the wall, couldn't beat, the man had to scold his mother in a low voice, walked to the empty space where no one was around, threw away the empty wine pot that was no longer drinkable, and his body rose from the ground, and in an instant, he landed at the door of the shop that sold peach blossom spring burning in the town, at this time, of course, the shop had closed down, he knocked on the door hard, and soon a woman got up from the backyard with sleepy eyes and opened the door, scolding and scolding, what "anxious to find death and reincarnation", " Drinking in the middle of the night, why don't you drink pee, and it doesn't cost money", "Dare to knock on the widow's door at night, I'm not afraid that the old lady will break your three legs", you're not welcome at all.

Ruan Qiong stood at the door, his face gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

After seeing that it was Master Ruan of the blacksmith shop, the woman took advantage of the moonlight to cut the middle-aged man's muscular arm, and suddenly changed a face, her eyes were like silk, and she grabbed the man's arm with great enthusiasm, which was really hard as iron, and the woman who had been in the rain for a long time smiled more and more earnestly, and when she led the way, she stumbled and was about to fall into the man's arms, but unfortunately the man who struck the iron did not understand the amorous feelings, and gently held her shoulder, and finally he dropped the silver, took two pots of wine and strode away.

The woman stood at the door, her face full of sarcasm, and she laughed loudly: "What a sturdy man, but the result is the same as the surname! Soft master, oh no, Master Ruan, if you come to my shop to buy wine in the future, I will charge you double the price! If Master Ruan's waist is stiff one day, I may not charge a penny, and the wine will be drunk in vain, and people will sleep in vain." ”

Ruan Qiong walked indifferently all the way to the end of the street, his figure flashed, and instead of returning to the shop in the south of the town, he went to the north, in front of a hill.

It was full of broken porcelain, piled up into a mountain.

Ruan Qiong was thirty paces away from the hill, and found a random place to sit cross-legged.

A voice sounded not far away, "What a coincidence, you are also there." ”

Ruan Qiong nodded and threw over a jug of wine.

The old man took the wine, weighed it, and sighed: "At this time, if you go to Widow Liu's shop to buy wine, you will have to suffer a little loss if you are a man." ”

Of course, Ruan Qiong didn't want to talk about this, but asked: "Mr. Yang, the young man next to the new superintendent Wu Yuan, who is sacred, I can't see the depth, but on the surface it is no different from ordinary people." ”

The old man was the old man Yang from the Yang family's shop, and he took a sip of wine, "The identity is unknown, but as the old saying goes, those who come are not good will not come, right?"

After Old Man Yang said this, he looked up with a smile.

On the top of Porcelain Mountain, there is a young man in a green shirt, standing with his hands on his sleeves, a mole on his eyebrows, and a spring breeze smile.

The young man took out a hand from his sleeve and shook it, "Call people first when you enter the door, and worship God first when you enter the temple." I know the rules, I met Master Ruan first, and then I came to see Elder Yang, and I can't find fault with the etiquette. ”

Old man Yang didn't continue to drink, he found a rope somewhere, tied the wine jug around his waist, took a puff of dry tobacco, and said with a smile: "Enter the mountains and rivers, draw talismans to deterre." I just don't know if you're drawing a ghost talisman or a fairy talisman?"

The young man put away his hand, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "No matter how Elder Yang and Master Ruan misunderstand, in short, I came to the door this time to ensure that after greeting the two of them, there will be no more intersections." Well, if there really is, I'm afraid it's just the establishment of the City God Pavilion, for the time being, I am in charge, and I will be a little involved with the two of them, as for the Wenchang Pavilion Wusheng Temple, I can't care about it, I just have a City God Pavilion the size of a sesame mung bean. ”

According to the market opinion, within the boundaries of a county, the county order has full jurisdiction over all the affairs of the yang world, and as for the clay statue of the city god, he will actually be responsible for keeping an eye on the night and the yin things under his rule.

Ruan Shi frowned, is it the Ministry of Rites of the Dali Imperial Court, or is it the Qi Practitioner of Qin Tianjian?

However, whether the root foot is in the Ministry of Rites, the Qin Heavenly Prison, or somewhere in the Dali Imperial Palace, since he can stand on the top of the porcelain mountain so boldly, he must be at least a tenth-floor monk standing at the highest place in the Middle Five Realms.

So this teenager is definitely not a teenager.

The delicate monk with his eyebrows like a little cinnabar looked at Old Man Yang and said, "Old man, if you have words first, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”

Old man Yang took a hard puff of dry smoke, but in the end he only spit out an extremely fine wisp of smoke, and soon dissipated silently from heaven and earth.

The monk, who looked like a handsome young man, still had his hands in his sleeves, but the cuffs moved slightly, as if he was pinching his fingers.

Ruan Qiong sighed heavily, "For my sake, the two of you will give up, otherwise the three of us will fight, will it be possible to really destroy this square mile?"

The young man immediately left his hands on his sleeves and raised them high, very suspicious of seeing the wind turning the rudder, and said with a smile: "I'm fine." ”

Old man Yang inhaled his nose, and two imperceptible wisps of purple smoke quickly flew into the old man's nose.

The old man sneered, "You know a lot. ”

The young man reached out and pinched his nose, "No more, no less, just right, for example, I only know that I should call you Qing...... Mr. Big, not Mr. Yang. ”

The boy deliberately missed a word.

It wasn't a joke or funny, but at the moment when the word was about to blurt out, he really felt the old man's killing intent, resolute and decisive, so he chose to take a step back for the time being.

The young man leaned back and said with a smile: "Don't say goodbye, I hope there is no goodbye, Yangguan Road, single-plank bridge, or ghost gate, each goes its own way, each shows its magical powers." ”

The young man in the green shirt who fell backwards was nowhere to be seen.

Ruan Qiong said in a deep voice: "It may be the Upper Five Realms!"

Old man Yang sneered and said, "What's a fuss, aren't you Ruan Qiong also in the Five Realms." No matter how small Dongbao Aquarius is, it is also one of the nine continents, not to mention the eleventh and twelfth floors, and the thirteenth floor to practice qi, it is not that there is no chance to emerge. ”

Ruan Qiong was not in a relaxed mood, shook his head and said: "After all, I am only on the eleventh floor for the first time, and my realm has not yet been stabilized, although I am from a military family, I am still good at attacking and killing, but I can ......"

The old man shook his head, turned to leave, holding a cigarette stick, swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, "You can be content, there are more than 10 million monks in the world, and monks on the tenth floor are already rare, not to mention the upper five realms." In the final analysis, if you are afraid of that person, that person is not afraid of you. Porcelain collides with jade, you two are actually empty-minded. ”

Ruan Qiong thought about it, he was not a bull horn, so he simply didn't care about the origin of the strange young man, it was best for both sides to be able to do well water without river water, and make money in harmony.

With a bang, Ruan Qiong's figure rose to the sky, and after reaching the sea of clouds, he quickly fell to the side of the stream.

Old man Yang, who slowly swayed back to the town, smiled, "Young and vigorous." ”

————

A young man in a green shirt walked in the alleys of the town, muttering: "There must be a night ban, a husband must have, and a fang market must also be had. ”

The delicate young man with a mole on his eyebrows gently rotated a string of old keys and walked into an alley called Erlang Lane, which is next to Xinghua Lane, and it is said that there were two great people on the ancestors, but who is it and what he did, no one can say, and over time, it has become under the old locust tree in the past, and the old people are making a mysterious conversation.

Now that the old locust tree has fallen, the popularity of the town seems to have decreased a lot. The children are not deeply touched, but the young people feel that their horizons are broad, and there is a large open space for nothing, which is very good, only the nostalgic old people occasionally sigh for a long time. Erlang Lane and Xinghua Lane do not live in rich and expensive families, but they are not enough than the above, and they are more than enough than the bottom, such as the people near Mud Bottle Lane, most of the people who see these two alleys can't raise their heads, and Granny Ma and her grandson Ma Kuxuan live in Xinghua Lane, which is a very good family in the town.

The young man stopped at the door of a house, and two brand-new painted door gods were pasted on the door, and the young man looked up at one of the silver-armored door gods holding a short halberd, majestic, with one foot upturned, and the golden rooster was independent, making King Kong angry, and the young man smiled: "The brocade clothes are back home, but that's it." ”

The boy opened the door and entered, it was a small but exquisite house, there was a square patio above his head, a pool was chiseled on the ground, the ventilation was excellent, and there was a beauty on the second floor, which was suitable for watching the stars at night and enjoying the snow in winter. The young man was very satisfied, and muttered that it was good, it was a good place to cultivate himself.

The boy moved a carved wooden chair, sat down next to the pool, shook his sleeves, and slid out a large pile of broken porcelain, as big as a fist and as small as a grain of rice. In the end, it was so full that it was estimated that it could not fit a basket, and it was all suspended above the pool under the patio.

This hand is a veritable sleeve.

The young man looked left and right, rubbed his eyebrows, and said to himself, "Where to start?"

"It's you. Finally, the most eye-catching piece of jujube red porcelain in his photograph fluttered out of the pile of porcelain and quietly stopped in the air a foot in front of him.

After that, broken porcelain flew out of the hill and came to the boy, and then he gently placed it somewhere.

It's like piecing together a piece of porcelain.

————

The next day, in the blacksmith shop, Ruan Xiu handed Chen Ping'an two maps, one old, the paper was yellowed, and the mountains on the map were undulating, but the names of the mountains were all A1, B3, etc., and the new map was still full of fresh ink, in addition, there were also more names such as Longji Mountain, Zhenzhu Mountain, and Shenxiu Mountain, and finally there was one more "Dali Longquan County".

Ruan Xiu pointed to the names of those places and mountains, explained and introduced the past to Chen Ping'an one by one, and finally reminded: "Although the two maps look like the position of the size of a fingernail, when you enter the mountain, you will find that there may be a gap of several miles of mountain roads, because after the Lizhu Cave falls on the ground of Dali, the surface of the ground shakes greatly, and there are even some peaks with weak roots, which directly collapse and collapse at that time, which will also make you have a lot of accidents on the way forward, you must be careful yourself." ”

Chen Ping'an carefully put away the two maps, and finally carried a backpack, which was similar to the last time he took Chen into the mountain, and apologized to Ruan Xiu: "This time, I will strive to go to the area of Pickeng Mountain and Hengli Peak on the map, and it is estimated that I will return here in at least half a month, and at most a month." ”

Ruan Xiu said softly: "It's been so long, how can you bring enough things to eat?"

Chen Ping'an couldn't help laughing, "I'm used to staying in the mountains, I can eat wild game and mountain fruits, and I can find them, I promise that I won't be hungry." ”

Ruan Xiu nodded and smiled: "My father promised to borrow you a dozen taels of silver, and after you leave the mountain, I will definitely be able to give it to you." ”

Chen Ping'an thought about it, and still said honestly, "Miss Ruan, don't wronged yourself, I can figure out a way for the money, you can't really insist on ten days and half a month, and you don't eat the snacks of the New Year's shop, right?"

Ruan Xiu's face turned red, and she couldn't understand how he knew the truth.

Chen Ping'an was a little helpless, smiling and not speaking. I thought that with Master Ruan's stinky temper, it was strange that he was willing to lend himself silver, so it was not that my eyes were like torches, but that Miss Ruan, your cover-up was really not clever.

Chen Ping'an saw that she was a little lost, and hurriedly comforted: "Miss Ruan, I appreciate the kindness, thank you." ”

Ruan Xiu pursed her lips and smiled.

She suddenly said, "I'll send you." ”

Chen Ping'an had already strode away, turned his head and waved his hand: "No, I am very familiar with the road, and I can walk with my eyes closed." ”

The ponytail girl let out a soft sigh and waved goodbye to him.

After Chen Ping'an walked out of Ruan's shop, he rushed all the way upstream along the stream.

A few hills near the town, Chen Ping'an is not interested, although it is not big, the price is not expensive, but he does not want to buy here, it is too close to the town, this kind of limelight can not come out, and Master Ruan has said a few hints before, "Dizhen Mountain" and "Yuanmu Peak" Several peaks in this area, the bottom of the mountain was actually good, but unfortunately it has been almost hollowed out for so many years, so it is just a few embroidered pillows, to go all the way to the west, to the Pearl Mountain has improved.

Chen Ping'an walked for a full day and a night, during which he only rested for less than two hours, and finally climbed to the top of a small mountain, took a deep breath, and his heart and lungs were full of the fragrance of mountains and wild plants.

The straw sandals boy puffed up his chest, stomped his feet heavily, and said arrogantly: "This is mine!"
