Chapter 379: Precursor

This rain contains an unusual gloomy atmosphere, after Chen Ping'an's words were broken, the key to really making the two groups of wealthy families in the grottoes die down is not the bitter and bitter walking that cannot be narrow, or even the hand of Chen Ping'an's shaking lantern charm, but only in one sentence, "The old immortals of Jin Guiguan have not yet made a move."

This means that Jin Guiguan either plots and then acts, shows the enemy weakness, and lures the snake out of the hole, or it is invincible, and can only shrink the Taoist temple to avoid its edge.

No matter what the reason, this kind of mountain immortal fight, even if there is some incense, the rouge woman from the Yunxiao country, is still unwilling to put her life into it, as for the old devil Zhu Fengxian, who has set off a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes of several countries, is an old and serious person, this mountaineering, is to build a ladder for his granddaughter to cultivate the road to the sky, Jin Guiguan can take advantage of the situation to receive a proud disciple, both sides take what they need, Daze Gang is not a dwarf, Zhu Fengxian is not willing to give the Jinding Guandao people as a pawn.

Chen Ping'an returned to his original place, Pei Qian turned out a small stone slab out of nowhere, used it as a small bench for Chen Ping'an, squatted on the ground and wiped the soil with his hands, while raising his head and comforting: "Master, you are still very stylish, but there are some flaws in the closing stage, but they can be ignored." ”

At the end of the game, he often watched Lu Baixiang play against others, learned it by hearing and seeing, and got along with the four people in the picture scroll day and night, Pei Qian still learned a lot of things, such as the battle formation and the art of war on Lao Wei's side, "Fighting on the battlefield, what kind of long snake formation, dragon gate formation, but it is a fixed line, is vertical and horizontal six words, and in the end, each with his ability, kills with a knife, and cuts it with a knife." Zhu Yong saw that she often worked hard and hard-working, so he gave Pei Qian a book, Pei Qian saw that Pei Qian forgot to sleep and eat, and asked Sui Right to learn a lot of black words about walking the rivers and lakes, such as "If you want to live from now on, leave your life and money", "Boldly cut the path of the thief, eat me a shot" and so on.

Zhang Shanfeng glanced at the rain curtain outside, was more worried, and said softly: "Such a big rain, it has been raining for so long, the monks of the Sea Viewing Realm may not be able to hold it, unless the rain diversion formation has been laid out a long time ago, but this kind of handwriting, if it is really the formation traction, not its own Dao Law, it is to sprinkle snowflake money from the sky to the ground, so the possibility of the Longmen Realm monks is greater, I don't know what kind of realm the Taoist priest of Jin Guiguan is, and whether he can deal with this rain that affects the luck of the mountains and rivers." ”

Zhang Shanfeng's voice is not big, but Zhu Fengxian and the old woman of Rouge Zhai are both martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes, and if you pay a little attention, you can hear it really, and Zhu Fengxian doesn't care about his "eavesdropping", and smiled at the old woman: "Since Rouge Zhai has a good relationship with Jin Guiguan, you must know the level of the master's immortal technique, right?"

The old woman hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "According to legend, Guan Zhuguo is already two hundred years old, and it is the Longmen Realm cultivation that is like a dragon in the clouds, calling the wind and rain. ”

Zhu Fengxian frowned and said: "The recent boiling Jianghu saying, isn't it that Zhang Guo has been in retreat for decades, and this time he has successfully exited the customs, has he already become a legendary land immortal?"

The old woman smiled bitterly and said: "The earth immortal who formed the golden pill, how transcendent is the world, and what do you do with apprentices? Concentrate on cultivation, pointing directly to the avenue, and change it to the old gang leader of Zhu, become a fairy guest, and are still willing to pick up money in the muddy pond? That is, there is really gold and silver in the mud pond, and we are rare in the rivers and lakes, and we have to bend down to touch it in the mud, will the gods on the mountain be rare? However, the Guan Zhiguo has the posture of the earth immortal, it is true, the old gang leader Zhu does not need to doubt, the time is only sooner or later, your granddaughter worships Zhang Guo as a teacher, and practices in Jinguiguan, the future will not be bad. ”

Zhu Fengxian nodded, his expression slightly improved.

Longmen Realm monks, as a martial artist of the Seven Realms, Zhu Fengxian will be jealous, but he will definitely not be afraid, and the monks of the Cave Mansion Realm and the Sea Viewing Realm who died in his hands have already been counted.

But a Longmen Realm Taoist who is expected to be a Jindan Earth Immortal in the future, Zhu Fengxian is willing to show enough respect and is already qualified enough to serve as the preacher of his granddaughter.

Every year, the Daze Gang will definitely take out a sum of filial piety silver and send people to secretly send it to this Qingyao Mountain Golden Guiguan.

Zhang Shanfeng sighed in his heart, it's not that the people on the mountain don't know what is going on the mountain, the immortals in the minds of Zhu Fengxian and the old woman of Rouge Zhai are too high in the void and not muddy, what about the Jindan Immortals, it is not the same as the need to work hard to accumulate family foundation, and the practice is the biggest bottomless pit in the world. It's just that the vast majority of the earth immortals, except for the scattered and accustomed mountain and wild cultivators, and the great monks who own the mountain head cave mansion, do not need to take care of their own affairs, they have their own sect people to make some connections, and they only need to concentrate on cultivating.

At this moment, in the deep mountains in the distant rain curtain, there was a sudden lightning and thunder, a great earthquake trembled, the wind and rain were skewed, and there was a loud sound like a lion's roar, one after another.

After a few moments, the vision stopped, and only this rainstorm remained in heaven and earth.

After about a stick of incense, on the right side of Sui in the grotto, Zhu Yong and Zhu Fengxian looked up at the outside of the grotto almost at the same time.

Zhu Fengxian's expression was as usual, but his heart was tight.

Among the young immortal master's subordinates, there were actually two people who had keen intuition that was not weaker than their own?

You must know that you are one of the four great grandmasters of the three kingdoms of Qingluan, Qingshan, and Yunxiao, although the battle with the immortals thirty years ago broke some martial arts fundamentals, after thirty years of healing, he still did not recover the peak of martial arts, and became the bottom of the four great grandmasters, but the tiger will not fall, he Zhu Fengxian is far from being down, but he has just retreated from the second to the fourth place, and he is still a well-deserved great grandmaster.

This three-year grand event of Buddhism and Taoism has attracted many monks who hide their heads and tails, but there are only a handful of top masters in the rivers and lakes, and some so-called little masters are just some imaginary martial artists of the Seven Realms.

In addition to the beautiful sword-bearing woman, the seemingly approachable rickety old man, the man with the sword, and the taciturn and fierce man, it is clear that he is also a master of the rivers and lakes with extremely hard ideas, this is the only reason why Zhu Fengxian is impressed by Chen Ping'an from beginning to end. The clouds are from the dragon and the wind from the tiger, if the young immortal master is a snake and a cat, how can he subdue these martial arts masters?

The heavy rain gradually faded.

In the rain curtain, there are a number of young Taoist priests and Taoist children come together, for the first line of the Jinguiguan Taoist priest, the face is like a crown of jade, the smile is charming, the Taoist behind him, in addition to holding his own umbrella, but also holding a handful of oil paper umbrellas, only the front of the Taoist priest has nothing else, after entering the grotto, put away the ** oil paper umbrella, graceful demeanor, and the noble son of the family is different from the kind of wealth, there is no charm, he looked at the crowd, smiled and said:" There are demons who are haunting, trying to use the rain to spoil my golden laurel view of the landscape, you don't need to panic, our master and two close friends from afar have put away their magical powers, you can rest assured that I will climb the mountain, that group of demons have been granted the first law, and no one has escaped from the law. ”

The old woman of Rouge Zhai quietly glanced at the girl "Qingcheng", the old woman's eyes were full of irrepressible excitement, the old woman saw the thunder before, and had already had some luck guesses, and the mood was agitated, once it was serious, Qingcheng, who had high hopes for the teacher, this apprenticeship, it was difficult for an accident to happen, and at this moment I heard the handsome Taoist priest confirm that "the best friend of the Lord helped out" Before the grandmother died, when she was dying, she still let the young her and a senior sister hold the two ends of the scroll and spread out the scroll, so that she could take one last look at the man on the portrait.

This time they worked tirelessly to escort the "Qingcheng" to the mountain to cultivate, it was the fairy man who ordered someone to send a letter to Rouge Zhai, more than 100 years, this is the first time he took the initiative to talk to Rouge Zhai, the master and the disciple, everyone was overjoyed.

A handsome Taoist priest with an elegant temperament said with a smile: "These oil-paper umbrellas, the umbrella surface is just ordinary, but the umbrella handle is our predecessors in the view, made of aura cinnamon branches, which can resist the demon wind and rain, whether it is crossing the mountains and forests into the lake, or walking alone in the cemetery at night, holding the cinnamon umbrella of our Taoist temple, there is no need to worry about the evil invading, when they meet this umbrella, they will retreat away." The viewer was worried that there were family members and children who had never practiced martial arts in your team, so he made a special trip to let us go down the mountain to deliver umbrellas. ”

More than 10 cinnamon umbrellas with Jinguiguan specialties were sent.

A little Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth, saw his only peer Pei Qian early, and as soon as he waited for his uncle to send an umbrella, he immediately ran quickly to the little girl with black charcoal, and Daotong gave him a cinnamon umbrella in his hand, grinning.

Pei Qian is not uncommon with this Jin Guiguan small broken umbrella, but Chen Ping'an is next to him, so she still has to talk about the "Master Rules and Family Law", so she politely rejected Xiao Daotong's oil-paper umbrella, and then honestly thanked the little guy.

Xiao Daotong was a little worried, saying that this rain should not be underestimated, it is most likely to hurt people's yang, people with weak bodies, and people whose lives are not hard, will fall into the root of the disease all of a sudden, and it will not work when the medicine is taken, anyway, this umbrella is lent to you by their Taoist temple, do not accept cash, why not, take it, the handle of the cinnamon umbrella, and it is not heavy.

Pei Qian only hated himself for not being able to roll his eyes.

Looking at the cute little Taoist boy who explained to Pei Qian the severity of this rainy rain at a glance, Chen Ping'an smiled, rubbed Pei Qian's head, asked her to accept the oil-paper umbrella, and then looked at the handsome Taoist priest, "This Taoist leader, I heard that Guiguan opened the mountain to collect disciples this time, I wonder if we, the foreigners who happened to meet at the meeting, can go up the mountain to watch the grand event and bother it?"

The handsome Taoist priest smiled and nodded, "Of course, after climbing the mountain, you only need to get a booklet and pay attention to some of the Taoist taboos recorded on it." ”

Xiao Daotong immediately turned his head and shouted to the handsome Taoist priest: "Uncle Xiao, I have memorized the matters on the booklet, otherwise let me tell this son?"

The handsome Taoist priest smiled and said, "If Childe is willing to listen to your noise, you can accompany Childe to climb the mountain together." ”

Chen Ping'an hugged his fists and thanked the two Jinguiguan Taoist priests, one big and one small, and said with a smile: "Thank you, the Taoist chief, there is Lao, the little Taoist chief." ”

Chen Ping'an turned his head to look at Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng, and the two nodded slightly, signaling that there was nothing wrong with climbing the mountain and entering the view.

After making up her mind, Xu Yuanxia was even more pleased, Jin Guiguan closed doors all the year round, so that outsiders could not appreciate the style, there are rumors under the Qingluan Mountain, the Baishui Temple of the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers, Guizi all over the ground, those golden cinnamon sources, is the golden Guiguan behind the thousands of years old laurel trees, there is a wandering immortal descended the figure, came to the Taoist temple, fingered the laurel tree, Chrysostom Yuyan: "This month is also planted."

The yellow earth cow did not even enter the grotto before, after all, it was born as a monster, and this time it suffered a change, the Taoist monk may not be suspicious, once it provoked the suspicion of Jin Guiguan, Chen Ping'an had to explain a lot, fortunately, the ox is also well versed in the disputes on the mountain, and told Chen Ping'an in the distance of the grotto in his heart that it was waiting under the mountain in the near future, unless the earth immortal patrolled, it was not easy to be found whereabouts, Chen Ping'an asked it to be careful, once there was a situation, just run to Qingyao Mountain, he would come forward to make it clear.

Taoist temple is on the top of Qingyao Mountain, the road is muddy, it is not easy to climb the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the gate of the Taoist temple, the widest part of the path is just three people walking side by side, no need to expect the carriage to pass, it can be seen that Jin Guiguan is really reluctant to deal with the mountain.

Chen Ping'an and the others went to the Qinghu Palace in Qingjing Mountain and built a full 3,000-step Dan ladder, which was even more magnificent than the imperial palace Danbi of the emperor's family.

Jin Guiguan is not big, but accommodates forty or fifty Taoist cultivators, those who carry the younger generations to climb the mountain, and invite people to build thatched huts on the mountainside of Qingyao Mountain early, as a place to shelter, Jin Guiguan does not stop this, some of the hearts and eyes are lively, and they are the Jianghu sects of the Qingluan country, seeing that Jin Guiguan is good to speak, they simply hired dozens of young people on the side of the mountainside, broke ground and started construction, and the scale of the houses built was no less than the inn restaurant in the downtown area.

Jin Guiguan is a not very common jungle temple, but according to the handsome Taoist master's small talk, the Taoist temple property does not completely belong to the lineage of the Taoist French descendants, and the Guan master will receive the apprentices, when the time comes, you will get the golden jade spectrum issued by the Qingluan State Imperial Court, as long as you worship under the Guanguan Guomen, rather than simply live in the Jinguiguan to practice, even if you become a naturalized immortal master, I am afraid this is the fundamental reason why the wealthy and powerful families in the rivers and lakes are willing to bring the younger generations of their families to flock to it.

Only those Taoist palaces, will be equipped with three capitals, five lords and eighteen heads, Jin Guiguan is only forty or fifty people, naturally there is not so much attention, in addition to the view of the fruit, but three or two deacons, five or six heads including the head of the library, the handsome Taoist priest Xu Borui, is the drum head of the Jin Guiguan, after all, no matter how small the Taoist temple, the bell and drum are still indispensable.

If it is said that the largest descendant temple in the world, there is no suspense, it must be the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion in the Middle Earth Divine Continent.

Zhang Guo, the old immortal of this Taoist temple, put the matter of accepting apprentices the day after tomorrow, Zhu Fengxian's Daze Gang, as one of the largest snakes in Qingluan Country, has long been halfway up the mountain, and has built a "summer palace" that costs more than 100,000 taels of silver, which is extremely eye-catching in many buildings, and it seems that Zhu Fengxian has no doubt about his granddaughter's selection.

Rouge Zhai also hired someone to build a chic courtyard garden, but Taoist priest Xu Borui said bluntly: "Liu Qingcheng, Zhu Ziyang, the two of them can enter the temple together with the poor Dao, and Jin Guiguan has already cleaned up two elegant rooms." ”

Then Xu Borui smiled at Chen Ping'an: "The Taoist temple is simple, the hospitality is not good, there are only two houses left, if the son is willing to live alone, he can go up the mountain with the poor road now, if he is not willing to be separated from his friends, and there is nowhere else to live, the poor road can come forward to help the son say hello to some familiar nobles of the Qingluan country, and borrow it for a few days, it is not a big problem, but it is a good deed to get married." ”

Zhu Fengxian laughed loudly: "Why should Daoist Xu be so troublesome, just let Gongzi and his party go to live with me." ”

The old lady of Rouge Zhai also wanted to invite Chen Ping'an and his party, but it was a pity that they were all women and needed to avoid suspicion, so it was really inconvenient to speak, so they could only watch this great good fate and rob it to Daze to help those vulgar martial artists.

When the rain stopped, Chen Ping'an asked Xu Borui if he could go to see the Taoist Laurel Tree today, Xu Borui smiled and said that he had no choice, but he needed to lead the way, and he was not allowed to walk around in the Taoist Temple at will.

So Chen Ping'an took Pei Qian, Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia to continue climbing the mountain together, and the four of them followed Zhu Fengxian, the "old devil of Qingluan Kingdom", to his residence.

Xiao Daotong likes to be close to Pei Qian, holding a large oil-paper umbrella in his arms. There is no way, the Taoist temple is his youngest, and the rest are mostly old antiques, and there are not a few teeth left when he opens his mouth, otherwise it is a serious Taoist priest like Uncle Xu Borui, and it is not easy to meet a peer who can chat, and the little Taoist child is of course extremely excited.

Pei Qian was a little impatient, how could he put such a little sparrow chirping, shouldn't the cultivators on the mountain be like blind, dumb and deaf?

Liu Qingcheng, a girl from Rouge Zhai, and Zhu Ziyang, the granddaughter of Zhu Fengxian, left the protection of the master and elders, the former was a little cowering, and the latter was not afraid of heaven and earth, and had been confirming with the Taoist priest Xu Borui that some rumors of Jin Guiguan were true or false, Xu Borui should be a person born with a gentle temperament, and answered them one by one, neither adding oil and vinegar, nor hiding and hiding them, so that Zhu Ziyang even had a good impression of Jin Guiguan.

Liu Qingcheng plucked up his courage and asked softly to the round-faced girl of the Daze Gang, "You didn't call it 'night'?"

Zhu Ziyang slapped his forehead, "How can there be such an innocent Jianghu person as you?"

didn't directly say that the goose-faced girl was stupid, and it was already regarded as Zhu Ziyang's mercy.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhu Ziyang caught a glimpse of the delicate short knife on Liu Qingcheng's waist, with the inscription "Yuer" on the bamboo sheath, and asked with a smile: "Your short knife is very good-looking, show me?"

Liu Qingcheng shook his head and said timidly: "This is a relic of my grandmother, and I can't give it to others casually." ”

Zhu Ziyang still has to entangle, Liu Borui smiled and said: "Zhu Ziyang, don't let the strong man make it difficult." In the future, if you practice in the same school, you should pay attention to it the same. ”

Zhu Ziyang has a good impression of this handsome Taoist priest who is one of the disciples of the Guanzhi Guoyan lineage, and he may soon be his "senior brother" in Jinguiguan, so he let go of the soft Rouge Zhai little aunt beside him.

Liu Qingcheng gave the Taoist priest a grateful look, and the latter laughed at it.

Chen Ping'an looked at the two girls who were about to become cultivators on the mountain, and naturally remembered the encounter in Caiyi Country, a young girl with a bell to practice qi, once fought side by side with Chen Ping'an, together to subdue demons and eliminate demons, although she was not high, but did not add to the busy, she was a very chivalrous girl, and later became the envy of others The son of the Divine Sect. There is also the pair of suffering brothers and sisters who met for the first time in the firewood room, and now the two children should be regarded as half a cultivator.

The world is mysterious, in the drinking peck.

Arrived at the Taoist temple, Zhu Ziyang and Liu Qingcheng two lucky girls, were taken to the collapse by the Taoist, Xiaodao Tong and the brothers to place the cinnamon umbrella, these objects, very expensive, if you are willing to sell in the mountain, listen to Uncle Xu said that a handful can be sold thousands of taels of silver at a sky-high price, worthy of the ancestral laurel tree split down the "Moon Palace" laurel branch, the Taoist child reverie, a cinnamon branch umbrella handle is so valuable, the six laurel trees sold at a discount, their own Qingyao Mountain must not become a big gold mountain and silver mountain?

Xu Borui led Chen Ping'an and his party through the quiet Taoist temple that was not big, went to the back door, and went straight away, after the rain and the sky was clear, the vision was clear and open, and the tall laurel trees that had been ancient and vicissitudes could already be seen, with lush branches and leaves, and the one in the center was particularly towering. Each old laurel tree has its own name, Xu Borui introduced the past one by one, which mountain master said which witty words under which tree, Xu Borui came one by one, concise and to the point, and funny.

There is a criss-cross bluestone road between the laurel trees, there are stone tables and stone benches under the shade of the trees, the stone table under the ancestral osmanthus tree, the desktop is also depicted as a chessboard by the Taoist temple, Xu Borui stayed here for a while, wiped the table chessboard with his fingers, and said with a smile that this chessboard is not carved by a knife, but a sword fairy who has traveled here, spitting sword gas, and "measuring" with sharp sword qi And out, the Taoist in Guannei once carefully compared with the measuring stick, and found that there was no difference between horizontal and vertical spacing, so that sword immortal must be at least Jindan Sword Cultivator, and it may even be a Yuan Ying Sword Immortal who was not born in Aquarius.

Speaking of this, Xu Borui was full of energy and said with a smile: "A long time ago, there was a senior in our view, who had to get to the bottom of the matter, traveled thousands of miles, and made a special trip to Fengxue Temple, Zhenwu Mountain, Zhengyang Mountain and Wind Thunder Garden, looking for that sword immortal, and met with many famous sword cultivators, and finally came to a conclusion, it is very likely that it is Li Junjing, Li Da Sword Immortal, the head of the Aquarius Yuan Infant in Wind Thunder Garden. It's a pity that after that senior returned to the Taoist Temple, he didn't have the heart to return to the Wind Thunder Park to confirm this matter, and in the hundred years since then, this has become an unsolved case. ”

Chen Ping'an said: "I once saw the sword of the master of the Wind Thunder Garden through the picture scroll of the immortal family on a ferry, and it is very powerful. It's a pity that after the owner of Li Yuan learned about the old feud with Zhengyang Mountain, it is said that he has been relieved, so I don't know if Wind Thunder Garden can find the reincarnation of this sword immortal, so that he can return to the mountain gate to practice and renew the incense and fire path. ”

Xu Borui was surprised: "Li Dajian Immortal, has already passed away?!"

It seems that in the past 100 years, Jin Guiguan has indeed been a little ignorant of the world.

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "I heard that this is the case, but what is the truth, Li Dajian Immortal's cultivation is to reach the sky, I don't dare to make a conclusion, maybe I am seeking an opportunity to break the bottleneck of the Yupu Realm." ”

Liu Baqiao of Fenglei Park is one of Chen Ping'an's few friends on the mountain.

Liu Baqiao once chased Chen Ping'an's ferry with a special sword for the sake of the fairy Su Jia, and the two sides met once.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an knows that it is true about Li Lujingbing's explanation, but such a major event, as a friend of Liu Baqiao, of course, it is not good to talk to outsiders, and he will know the inside story of this matter as a show off talk.

But Chen Ping'an, who was accustomed to seeing people in subtleties, suddenly found that when he casually said "Jade Pu Realm", Xu Borui's eyes changed slightly.

Chen Ping'an realized at this time that not all qi practitioners knew the name of the Upper Five Realms, and even all their lives they just looked up at the word "Earth Immortal".

This is the same as when Zhu He firmly believed that the end of martial arts was the peak of the Nine Realms Mountain, and there was no possibility of going up.

However, Chen Ping'an is in his current state of mind, and he doesn't care much about this kind of innocuous mistakes, walking the rivers and lakes, settling grievances with pure martial artists, or climbing mountains to enjoy the scenery and dealing with qi practitioners.

After seeing these immortal laurel trees of the Golden Guiguan, the Taoist temple tour came to an end, Xu Borui sent Chen Ping'an and his party outside the mountain gate again, and solemnly invited them to come here to watch the ceremony the day after tomorrow, and he would help arrange the seats. After Chen Ping'an thanked him, he went down the mountain to the mountainside, walking more than 100 steps, Xu Yuanxia glanced back at the Taoist priest who had not turned around and entered the Taoist temple for a long time, still watching them leave, Xu Yuanxia turned his head and laughed softly: "This Xu Daochang is a caring person, and he will definitely mix well in Jinguiguan in the future." ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "The immortal mansion on the mountain needs a faΓ§ade figure who treats people well. ”

Zhang Shanfeng was a little sad.

Obviously, I remembered my master, and after a few years of wandering outside, I missed my master's nose and snoring like thunder.

If he hadn't met Chen Ping'an and Xu Yuanxia, I'm afraid that this Heavenly Master surnamed Longhu Mountain, who had not yet entered the spectrum, would have returned to Beiju Luzhou gloomily.

When they arrived at the mansion compound built by the Daze Gang, there was already a shrewd and capable steward who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, bending slightly sideways, leading Chen Ping'an and them to their residence.

After Chen Ping'an and his entourage settled down.

In a quiet house deeper than the laurel tree behind the Golden Guiguan, Xu Borui stood respectfully in the courtyard.

The corridor under the eaves is extremely wide and plain, and there are three pairs of clog boots under the steps.

There are also two distinguished guests who "acted righteously" and suppressed wrongdoers, in fact, they both intersected with Chen Ping'an.

The burly young Jiang Yun, the governor of Qingluan State, Wei Liang.

At this moment, the three of them are sitting around a table, each eating a bowl of somen noodles, spring bamboo shoots, mountain mushrooms, plus several wild vegetables that grow in the mountains and forests in spring, oil gluten, and noodle soup made by simmering, the fragrance is permeated.

After Xu Borui said his general opinion of Chen Ping'an and his party, Guan Zhiguo smiled and asked the disciple to step back and rest.

The old Taoist priest asked, "Is it a coincidence, or did you find them by touching the vine?"

Wei Liang thought for a while, "Coincidentally, if it weren't for Xu Borui's big face, these people would have blocked the door of my house." ”

Wei Liang turned his head to look at Jiang Yun, "Seeing the change in your expression before, is it possible to know this person?"

Jiang Yun nodded and said: "It's a local of Lizhu Dongtian, the first time I met, I was still an ordinary person, after all these years, the world has turned upside down, I almost didn't recognize it, the person is good, but I estimate that this person is involved in a lot of things, I met in Beeweidu before, I didn't dare to talk to him a few more words." ”

Wei Liang smiled: "Since it is a native of Lizhu Cave, it is not strange. ”

Jiang Yun has no objection to this.

He, the outsiders who came to the door with gold and copper coins to look for opportunities, are actually still not as good as a certain local who is waiting for the fortune to fall on his head.

However, he is one of the luckier outsiders, and he can take away the lock dragon rope and refine it into a natal object, which is a great surprise, with the master's cultivation, he is still shocked, very happy, and laughs that he may have taken a lot of luck from the Yunlin Jiang clan in order to achieve this great creation. At that time, the iron chain hanging in the cave water well was caught by him at a glance, and after he succeeded, the master specially asked a friend to help identify it, and came to the conclusion that at least it was a precious relic of the great monk of the Immortal Realm, and before all the secret art prohibitions were unlocked, it was already a genuine half-immortal soldier.

It is rumored that the highest rank of this kind of dragon rope is called the dragon rope, and the power is more exaggerated than the dragon king basket that can imprison and capture the ancient immortal dragon, as long as the monk throws it out, he can easily tie the dragon, and with a shake of his hand, he can directly peel the dragon on the spot and cramp, leaving only a spine and a bead.

However, the biggest opportunity of Lizhu Cave Heaven is not in these "dead things".

But those five little things are not something that anyone can find by digging three feet into the ground, so they can only rely on their lives.

Jiang Yun didn't even see one side of them.

The old Taoist Zhang Guo put down his chopsticks and patted his stomach, "Bigu has been in the valley for many years, in order to entertain you two first-class guests, I made an exception, and it feels good." ”

Zhang Guo squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "Governor Wei, this time Jin Guiguan spent so much effort, and he opened the door to accept apprentices, and deliberately revealed the secret of my family's ancestor Guishu, which can refine the half-immortal soldiers, so that the unscrupulous people can mix in it, so that the door is closed and the dog is beaten and the dog is helped you Qingluan Kingdom kill more than a dozen foreign monks." The Tang Emperor didn't say anything?"

Wei Liang smiled: "Yes, didn't I sit here and eat a bowl of somen noodles?"

Zhang Guo stretched out his finger and pointed at Wei Liang, "The Taoist ancestor was right back then, Iron Rooster! No wonder you want to pass down the word, and ask Jin Guiguan to deal with your Governor's Mansion." ”

Wei Liang still had half a bowl of somen left, and he had already put down his chopsticks, but the burly young man took the bowl over, Wei Liang turned a blind eye to this, and said to Guan Zhiguo: "You are content, at the beginning of the construction of Jin Guiguan, there was no incense, who invited Li Lujing to come to you to eat somen noodles? And this time, Yunlin Jiang's eldest son Jiang, you Zhang Guo invited him to come? A bowl of broken somen noodles, even if you serve it in front of others, Jiang Yun is willing to pick up chopsticks?"

Jiang Yun buried his head in eating noodles, not giving Wei Liang much face, "A pair of chopsticks is enough, just a few more bowls of somen noodles." ”

Zhang Guo laughed and was in a good mood.

In my impression, the children of the Jiang clan in Yunlin, one is higher than the other, this young monk named Jiang Yun is not the same, since he is accompanied by Wei Liang, and the relationship is irreversible, it should not be from the side branch of the Jiang family, which is a bit interesting.

Wei Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhang Guo, that little girl from Rouge Zhai, I will trouble you to take care of it more in the future." ”

Zhang Guo smiled playfully, "The paper knife 'Yuer' on the little girl's waist should be an object that you gave to a certain female ancestor in Rouge Zhai back then, right?"

Wei Liang sighed.

Zhang Guo didn't get an inch, these red dust hatreds, in fact, every monk of the Middle Five Realms would have more or less, and when he looked back, it was just a passing moment.

It depends on whether the monk misses the old or not.

In the early years of Yamashita's enmity, when one of them became an immortal family, the situation would be very complicated.

Monks hold grudges, grievances are still fresh for a hundred years, and there are often some local wealthy families, inexplicably flying to wreak havoc, an unwarranted disaster, often cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, leaving no one.

The monk thinks about it, so the descendants of a certain mountain person for more than ten generations may have been able to quietly enjoy the blessings of the ancestors, and they may not even know why, why they can escape every calamity, and in the dark, it seems that there is always a big hand to shield them from the wind and rain.

Zhang Guo said: "Among them, the best qualification is the little girl of the Daze Gang, the granddaughter of Zhu Fengxian, and now she is a Qi practitioner in the Three Realms, she should be the only one with the qualification of an earth immortal, and the remaining more than 70 people, the highest achievement is just the Rouge Zhai little girl's cave realm, which is expected to view the sea realm, so except for Zhu Ziyang and Liu Qingcheng, among the remaining seven people, I don't see any of them." ”

Wei Liang and Jiang Yun said in unison: "Not necessarily." ”

Zhang Guo's eyes lit up, "Which one is it?!"

Wei Liang smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Yun raised his head, and also did not give an answer, but changed the topic and asked: "That demon of the Earth Ox, don't care, didn't you think about taking it under your command a long time ago, so that it could serve as the mount of your Qingluan Kingdom Beiyue God?"

Wei Liang shook his head and said: "Forget it, the matter of chance, you can only take advantage of the situation, the twisted melon is not sweet, in fact, the god of Beiyue has told me a long time ago, this ox, it seems to be docile and harmless, but in fact it is fierce, a monster in the Longmen realm, who is willing to be confined to a mountain, and give a mountain god for a lifetime? Once its ferocity is stimulated, it is estimated that it will be a curse or a blessing for the Beiyue landscape. ”

Zhang Guo sighed: "If this demon can sit in the poor Qingyao Mountain, it is a good thing of mutual benefit and reciprocity, the big deal is that the two sides are on an equal footing, Jin Guiguan regards it as a mountain protector, Wei Dadudu, do you think it is feasible?"

Wei Liang still shook his head, his eyes were deep, and he reminded with a smile: "That Chen Ping'an, you'd better not provoke it, after this person leaves the Lizhu Cave Heaven, he is very likely to become a disciple of a certain Legalist master, you should know the style of our Legalist disciple." On the mountain and down the mountain, no one is treated. ”

Zhang Guo said helplessly: "I know, the four difficult ghosts on the mountain, bullshit sword cultivator, Mo family credit knife man, master knife room Taoist, and the last one is your most unreasonable Legalist disciple." ”

Wei Liang smiled: "We are unreasonable?"

Zhang Guo was a little weak-hearted, and suddenly smiled: "Then why don't you Wei Dadu Governor reason with that scalper monster?"

Wei Liang said indifferently: "The legal principles of the world are people-oriented. ”

In Chen Ping'an's house, Pei Qian was copying books.

Zhang Shanfeng practiced diligently in his own house next door.

This young Taoist priest from Beiju Luzhou, claiming to have mediocre qualifications, back then the master just took pity on him and had nowhere to go, so he pinched his nose and accepted him as a closed disciple, and the subsequent cultivation path also proved that his master's vision was not bad, Zhang Shanfeng was indeed making slow progress, and now he has not yet succeeded in entering the Middle Five Realms. It's just that Zhang Shanfeng has a tough heart and has never been discouraged, and the occasional loss is just a lack of his ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, in this matter, his attitude is the same as Chen Ping'an, it is nothing more than walking on his own feet, as long as he does not compare with others, he can't talk about good or bad talent, but can walk firmly and steadily.

The so-called talent of the qi practitioner is very particular, and the mysteries are all in the word "congenital", and the size of the cave is divided into different sizes, which determines the amount of aura that can be accommodated. In addition, there is also a difference in the speed of absorption, and on top of this speed, there is also a difference in the degree of refining the essence of the aura, whether it is a pitiful stream or an amazing river. After that, he is qualified to pay attention to the meteorological level of the Dan room, as well as the appearance of the future Yuan Baby.

Chen Ping'an now often practices the awkward posture of the heaven and earth pile, supporting the ground with his fingers, but after practicing boxing for so long, Chen Ping'an has also figured out some doorways, such as shaking the mountain boxing three piles to practice together, walking six steps in the posture of the heaven and earth pile, and then pinching the sword furnace with one hand, during this period, the operation of the sword qi eighteen stops.

There is no other world.

It's just that there is also a price to pay, Chen Ping'an often goes astray on the uninhabited mountain and forest trails, "walking and walking", leaving the road that everyone walks, falling into a stream or falling down a hillside.

Later, Pei Qian came up with a stupid way to tie the rope to the top of the walking stick, and then tie it to the sword raising gourd on Chen Ping'an's waist.

One big and one small, so back and forth, worthy of the name of the same people.

At this time, Chen Ping'an roughly drew a circle around the table, upside down and "walked".

After Pei Qian finished copying the book, he read Chen Ping'an's heaven and earth pile countless times, and Pei Qian still found it interesting no matter how he looked at it.

Chen Ping'an turned around and took a deep breath.

From the old dragon city to the beetail crossing, and then to the golden guiguan of this Qingluan country, after being beaten by Du Mao's sword-swallowing boat and piercing the abdomen "one sword", the strength of the three realms has slowly recovered to the current four realms, and it is far from the peak of the five realms, and it takes a lot of time to cultivate by walking piles and small refining medicine and wine.

However, in this way, there are pros and cons, the disadvantage is of course that it greatly delays the speed of entering the Six Realms, and the advantage is that the foundation of the Five Realms will be more solid.

Zhu Yong once half-jokingly said that even if he didn't rely on external objects, the two sides would be pure martial artists, and Chen Ping'an could use his Five Realms Peak to defeat the four of them at the Six Realms Peak.

Sui sneered at this, but Lu Baixiang agreed.

As for Wei Xian, who was stuffy, he was busy talking nonsense with Pei Qian at that time.

Chen Ping'an sat back at the table, checked the content of Pei Qian's copy, and after confirming that she was not sloppy with any word, he signaled that she could play.

Pei Qian whispered: "Master, I think those laurel trees at the back of the Taoist temple are far inferior to the laurel leaves and laurel branches that Aunt Gui gave me, they are far behind, how can those Taoist priests still be a treasure to offer?

Chen Ping'an's heart moved slightly, and said: "Don't talk about others behind your back." ”

Pei Qian sighed.

Chen Ping'an suddenly laughed to himself, "I don't think you're wrong." ”

Pei Qian smiled brightly, "Master thinks so too, I'll just say it." ”

Chen Ping'an restrained his smile and advised: "So next time you see Aunt Gui, you have to be more polite." ”

Pei Qian nodded and said, "Of course, Aunt Gui, I really like it." ”

Chen Ping'an quipped: "What about the little Taoist boy who borrowed your umbrella from Jin Guiguan?"

Pei Qian slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "This guy is very annoying, if I meet him in a narrow way, why should outsiders be present, I have to beat him so that his father and mother don't recognize him." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled: "Now that you know that you are annoyed, think about it, how did you entangle Wei Xian and Lu Baixiang?"

Pei Qian's eyes widened, and after thinking about it for a long time, he had to take out his favorite pagoda town demon talisman, stick it on his forehead, and sighed: "In this way, Lao Wei and Xiaobai are quite pitiful. ”

Chen Ping'an smashed a chestnut over, "Do you just know? The book says that a gentleman is self-conscious, so you should reflect on it." ”

Pei Qian stood up abruptly with his head in his hands, ran to the door of the house, turned his head and said with a smile: "Master, I'll go and tell Old Wei Xiaobai, next time I go to the market, I will go back and buy a string of sugar gourds for each of them." ”

After Pei Qian left, Chen Ping'an began to think about refining the second natal object.

As for the relict of Du Maoyang, who was equivalent to the golden body of the Immortal Realm, Chen Ping'an decided to wait until he went to the Great Sui Mountain Cliff Academy and consulted with Cui Dongshan, who was proficient in this way, before making a decision.

Chen Ping'an believed in the character of this "young national teacher" from the bottom of his heart, but he believed in the knowledge and insight of the first disciple of Wensheng in the past.

This time I reunited with Zhang Shanfeng and asked him a lot of cultivation things, especially this refining natal object, Zhang Shanfeng of course knew everything and said everything.

Although Zhang Shanfeng's cultivation is not high, his vision and insights are not bad, probably related to his origin in an orthodox immortal family, after all, his master is a Heavenly Master with the surname of Longhu Mountain.

Chen Ping'an took out a pot of osmanthus brew, found a wine glass, and drank it alone.

According to Zhang Shanfeng, even under the premise that financial resources and chance are not big problems, the natal object is still not the more the merrier, and it is best to make up the five elements, a celadon bottle natal object similar to a yellow earth ox is used to help quickly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, which is a must, one is used to fight and attack, such as the natal flying sword of sword cultivation, which is the ultimate in attacking natal objects in the world, one is used for defense, to achieve the effect of similar to the golden liquor robe, the soldier's armor pill, and one is similar to the square inch arsenal, The sword mound is close at hand, but this rare thing is almost impossible to meet and even more difficult to find, a warm and nourishing nascent nascent acupoint, with this thing, the innate evil demons have a deterrent power, and can continue to grow their own yang energy, through many unpredictable yin places, water and fire do not invade, filth is not close.

Zhang Shanfeng also said that refining the natal object is a double-edged sword, since it is a natal object, once it is damaged, it will implicate the fundamental damage and shaking of the Great Dao, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Moreover, each natal object needs to occupy a trick cave mansion, once it is filled indiscriminately, or if it does not consider the route of the aura, it is easy for the attributes to clash with each other, but it hinders the cultivation of the qi practitioner, and it is possible to go mad.

Zhang Shanfeng finally said that gathering the five elements natal objects is the result that all qi practitioners dream of in addition to sword cultivation, but there is no need to deliberately pursue this matter, it consumes too much fairy money, and pays too much attention to chance, generally speaking, it is enough to have three natal objects with slightly better quality, one attack and one defense, and one assists qi practitioners to absorb and gather aura, most of the five realms qi practitioners in the world are like this, unless it is those earth immortals and the like, they will pursue more.

Chen Ping'an was a little hesitant whether to refine the golden gall given by the Rouge County City God of the Colorful Cloth Country.

However, inside the cyan wooden box, it is said that it is a certain generation of Longhu Mountain Great Heavenly Master, personally carved the "Caiyi Country Rouge County City God Xianyou Bo Seal", Chen Ping'an decided to take it as a parting gift with Zhang Shanfeng, to this Longhu Mountain's future surname Heavenly Master.

Shen Wen, the city god of Rouge County, attaches great importance to this method seal, Chen Ping'an guessed that it is very likely to be a half-immortal soldier, Shen Wen personally said that as long as this seal is combined with the Five Thunder Righteous Law passed down by Longhu Mountain, the power is amazing.

At the beginning, the Dharma Seal was sealed in the City God's Pavilion, and it was able to block the invasion of the evil qi of the huge mass grave outside the city of Rouge County, which showed that the quality was high, and it was definitely not a treasure that could be achieved.

Chen Ping'an has never opened the cyan wooden box once since he got the French seal.

The reason why he hesitated to refine the golden gall was that Chen Ping'an had a white bowl painted with the true shape of the five mountains of the ancient Yu Kingdom in the battle of Caiyi Country. Of course, Chen Ping'an would not use the white bowl that makes a profit of "five snowflakes" every year as his natal object of the Five Elements.

But Chen Ping'an thought of the southward momentum of the Dali Iron Cavalry now, it is completely overwhelming, there is his hometown of Phiyun Mountain in the north, and it seems that Fan Junmao is sitting in Dali Xinnanyue in the south, once it comes true, the land of a state as the territory of the dynasty will become extremely expensive, and the Dali court will definitely control it very tightly, so if Chen Ping'an can determine now that the address of the remaining three mountains outside the north and south is located, collect enough five-color soil, and then find a suitable carrying artifact, it will definitely be a great benefit。

But the difficulty lies in where the location of the three mountains is located, and the hidden danger lies in taking this as a natal object, and the short-term benefits are huge, but it will be related to the ups and downs of the country of Dali, and it is closely related, but under the upper five realms, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and it can quickly become an earth immortal.

At this time, Chen Ping'an was drinking, thinking of the group of Dali scouts in the wind and snow, and thinking of the next-door neighbor Song Jixin.

After drinking the last bit of osmanthus brew in the cup, Chen Ping'an finally decided to dispel the idea of refining the soil of the five-color society.

After making a decision, Chen Ping'an no longer had any hesitation, then he was ready to refine the golden courage!

It's just that if you want to be like the old dragon city, it is difficult to occupy the right time, place and people.

Chen Ping'an stood up, came to the window, and lay on the window railing, stunned.

After all, this is not like practicing boxing, perseverance over and over again, and one day you can always finish a million punches.

Xu Yuanxia knocked on the door and entered, Chen Ping'an sat back at the table, took another wine glass, and the two drank together.

didn't talk about anything serious, Xu Yuanxia said that his landscape travelogue said that he hoped that one day there would be bookstores willing to publish the edition and earn some private money.

Chen Ping'an took out a few small bamboo slips that recorded what he saw and heard along the way, the old dragon city osmanthus island, the huge fairy ferries of the mountain turtles, the sea of clouds above the city, the statue of the rain master god of the sea sect, the cloth rain laojiao who fell into the sea near Jiaolonggou, the sword fairy on the portraits in the Lingzhi Zhai of the upside-down mountain, the horse road of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the shouting sky street of the Tongyezhou Fuping Sect, and the sunrise of Zhaoping Peak outside the mirage city...... handed these emerald bamboo slips engraved with dense text to Xu Yuanxia, Xu Yuanxia asked some more details, the two drank wine, asked and answered, and time passed in the wine.

Just next door, the young Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng was in the house, sat down and forgot to vomit, and began to play boxing slowly, which is not the same as most of the boxing techniques in the world, seeking slow rather than fast, not suitable for killing the enemy, probably can only be used to practice boxing to cultivate his body, but Zhang Shanfeng feels that it is the most suitable for his friend.

This set of boxing was created by him, and now it is only a prototype, the boxing theory comes from the master's drunken words and his own perception, I just don't know if Chen Ping'an will dislike it, and whether he is willing to learn it.

In the capital of Qingluan Kingdom, in the twilight, two Confucian scholars in green shirts who came from afar sat at a small table with a lot of grease in the roadside stall, and a bamboo tube was placed on the table, which was full of bamboo chopsticks.

An emaciated Confucian who was about a year old was familiar with the other party's temperament, so he said solemnly: "Zhou Juran, say it in advance, I can't eat spicy." ”

The young Confucian named Zhou Juran smiled: "Monkey, because you don't eat spicy, how many delicacies in the world do you have to miss." ”

The elderly Confucian scholar, nicknamed "Monkey", shook his head helplessly.

This journey really made him tremble, no way, Zhou Juran This guy is simply a troublemaker, the right and wrong in this person's heart are always more vague than other sages in the academy, but fortunately, he can generally accept himself.

This emaciated Confucian scholar, who is more in line with the temperament of the academy than Zhou Juran, looked around, this time the Tang Emperor of the Qingluan Kingdom insisted on going his own way, and he actually wanted to win the debate between Buddhism and Taoism, as the state religion, his status was higher than that of Confucianism.

If it weren't for their Guanhu Academy, now their attention was all drawn to the Taoist Heavenly Monarch of Beiju Luzhou, and they had no time to take care of this matter, it would not be that he Hou Zheng and Zhou Juran and a gentleman and a sage "traveled around" the Qingluan Kingdom, but the two of them went straight to the palace and reprimanded the Tang Emperor.

The sage Zhou Juran ordered two servings of local delicacies from Pian Erchuan, one spicy and one not spicy, and ate them with the "monkey" from Old Dragon City.

The young sage, who likes to call himself Zhou Ju outside, rolled a large piece of chopsticks into his mouth, and said vaguely: " I heard Mr. said that the debate of Buddhism and Taoism in Qingluan Country is a bit unique, and it is said that Buddhism and Taoism are taught to the outside world, each sending ten real people and monks, and then quarreling in the palace, to see who has the greater ability to quarrel, but what really determines the outcome is the dark, specially invited an old man of Yunlin Jiang as the president, and then let the two earth immortals view the mountains and rivers with their palms, and observe a Taoist priest and a monk throughout the whole process. The winner and the loser are divided on the Daozang, and they also have to compare the skills of life and persuasion, learning, self-cultivation, and education, just competing in three games. ”

The elder Confucian frowned, this inside story was the first time Zhou Juran said it, and after thinking for a while, his brows relaxed, "No wonder the mountain lord is not angry, the stone of his mountain can attack jade, and Qingluanguo's move is not all bad." ”

Zhou Juran smiled knowingly, and pointed at the Confucian scholar opposite with chopsticks, "You Hou Zheng has the most temper with me at this point, you can see it, and you can see it well." ”

The academy gentleman named Hou Zheng shook his head and said nothing.

Zhou Juran asked, "There is such a big thing in Old Dragon City, why don't you go home and take a look?"

Hou Zheng still shook his head, "It's useless to go, the family style passed down by the Hou ancestors, there is not much left, the wind and candles are just in their last years, I go, but to twist the wick flame brighter, it is better to hang my life so half-dead, I can only hope that there will be a responsible junior, and I dare to help." ”

Zhou Juran nodded, "It's still thoughtful." ”

Hou Zheng smiled bitterly: "After all, I was born and raised there, can I not think about it more?"

Zhou Juran stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Have you eaten enough?"

Hou Zheng glanced at the empty white bowl in front of the other party, there was not even soup left, and he ignored Zhou Juran and buried himself in eating.

Zhou Juran sighed, turned his head and shouted, "Shopkeeper, another bowl...... Remember to put a little less spicy, the heavy spicy of your stall can really kill a person's life. ”

On the street, there were women and young women who returned from an outing, and Zhou Juran sighed: "The beauty who returned from the spring outing, sweating slightly, and the fragrance that was faintly brought back from the mountains, wilderness and lakes, is really beautiful." ”

Hou Zheng turned a deaf ear.

Zhou Juran said again: "Otherwise, I will also join this bureau and let the debate of Buddhism and Taoism in Qingluan Kingdom simply become a small dispute between the three religions?"

Hou Zheng replied very quickly this time, without raising his head, and said indifferently: "No." ”

Zhou Juran slapped the table, "The shopkeeper has to be spicy!"

When the sages and gentlemen of the academy sat and ate a piece of Sichuan, not far from this capital, there was a small Taoist temple with a small reputation, the master was a middle-aged Taoist priest, and he was nameless in Qingluan's nationality, if he was just a cultivator, it was really not worth mentioning, this master was not even a practitioner of the five realms, compared to the ancient Taoist temples in Qingluan country with a long history of thousands of years and hundreds of years, this Baiyun Temple, built for more than 100 years, the feng shui treasure of the capital has long been carved up by those "predecessors" Taoist temples on a first-come, first-served basis.

It is like the Baiyun Temple the size of a tofu block, and has to be next to a noisy Fang City, there are still a few ancient trees in the view, but it is so reluctant to get it, and it has caused a lot of trouble for the Baiyun Temple, the children in the nearby Fang City like to put paper kites, and often hang on the big trees in the view, so every once in a while, there will be women and men leading their own children who are crying and crying, and they scold the street outside the Baiyun Temple, and then rush into the Taoist Temple, reprimand those little Taoist priests who are cowering, and ask them to climb the tree to retrieve the paper kite with broken threads, and take back the paper kite, the children burst into laughter, and the adults who delayed the affairs at hand, most of them still scolded, inevitably have to leave a few words of these obstructive broken trees and cut down firewood early.

The middle-aged viewer who described the withered master would actually walk out of the study every time, and only dared to stand in the distance secretly with a sad face, and the junior or his own disciple would ward off the disaster.

Once, his own little Taoist boy secretly ran out, and the familiar neighborhood children put the paper kite together, accidentally hung on the tree, heaven and man fighting, really distressed by the paper kite, still stubbornly told the Taoist temple, the result finally to the master of the master caught the punching bag, hit almost the butt flowering, but that day the little Taoist boy smiled and bloomed, it turned out to be his residence in the quilt, I don't know how to have a porcelain doll that has been greedy for a long time, so that he and other Taoist children for a long time.

It was already deep twilight at this time, and the middle-aged Taoist priest raised his head in the small study and stared at the words of the book for a long time, which made his eyes hurt slightly.

On the four walls of the study, two of which reach the top of the bookshelf, in addition to a complete set of vast Taoist collections, in fact, there are also a lot of Buddhist scriptures and Confucian classics.

The middle-aged Taoist priest has read it carefully, and there are more than 900,000 words of small block scripts written by his reading experience over the years.

Others practice, for the sake of light princes and slow princes, for the sake of immortality, in order to break free from the cage of heaven and earth, this small Taoist contemplator, but in order to be able to live a few more years and read more books.

The books of the sages of the three religions and hundreds of schools must be read through.

Although Chen Ping'an and his entourage were living under the eaves of the Daze Gang at the moment, Zhu Fengxian did not come to the door once to get close to Chen Ping'an, but in the early morning of the day of the ceremony, he beckoned Chen Ping'an to climb the mountain together and go to the top of the mountain Jinguiguan.

On the way to the mountain, Zhu Fengxian and Chen An walked side by side, and what they talked about was just the customs and customs of Qingluan country.

When he arrived at the gate of Jinguiguan, Xu Borui greeted him with a smile and arranged Zhu Fengxian and Chen Ping'an in the adjacent position in the front row of the Taoist temple's apprenticeship location.

The old immortal Zhang Guo finally received nine disciples, Zhu Ziyang and Liu Qingcheng were among them without any suspense, and the remaining seven people, two of them were sisters and brothers from the market, and the remaining five were all children of wealthy families in Qingluan, Qingshan and Yunxiao.

With the addition of Xu Borui, there are twelve descendants.

The little Taoist boy who lent Pei Qian an umbrella has now become one of the nine senior brothers who have entered the same door later, standing behind Xu Borui, and he is so happy that he can't close his mouth.

Then he hurriedly looked at Pei Qian, but found that she didn't look at him at all, and Xiao Daotong was a little lost.

The matter of the Daomen Immortal Master accepting apprentices is not an exaggeration to describe it as red tape, and it took nearly an hour.

After the ceremony, Chen Ping'an, Zhu Fengxian, and the old woman of Rouge Zhai, the principals of all forces, Jin Guiguan all presented a valuable oil paper umbrella with a cinnamon branch handle.

Zhu Fengxian still has to stay in the middle of the mountain for a few days, after all, Zhu Ziyang has just become a disciple of Jin Guiguan Zhang Guo, in case he is not accustomed to the water and soil, or he is not used to it, Zhu Fengxian is not at ease and leaves the mountain.

After watching a ceremony in vain, he also took a cinnamon umbrella in vain, and said goodbye to Zhu Fengxian and the old woman of Rouge Zhai, Chen Ping'an and his party left Qingyao Mountain, continued to hurry, and went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion along the secluded and deep mountain and forest paths.

The yellow earth ox joined the team, and Pei Qian sat on its back.

Pei Qian proposed to ride a scalper for the first time before, and he took a chestnut from Chen Ping'an, but the scalper did not refuse, and Pei Qian sat on his back.

Compared with the four people in the picture scroll of the lotus blessed land, Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia know more about the mountain, so they are particularly surprised.

After another decade, I passed a village surrounded by mountains on three sides, at dusk, the smoke curled up, the black tiles and white walls, the carved beams and painted buildings, the paradise.

Chen Ping'an They walked down the ridge path, to the head of the village, and found that the language was incomprehensible, and then rushed to a village school gentleman, with a jerky Aquarius dialect to communicate with Chen Ping'an, coincidentally, Chen Ping'an only knew that almost all the surnames in this village were Chen, and they had practiced martial arts and darts for generations, but according to the ancestral rules, no matter how poor the door was, the child had to go to school for four years before he could drop out of school and go to the field to farm.

The patriarch is an ancient old man, in good spirits, walking like flying, wearing a gray gown, stepping on cloth shoes, according to the school teaching Mr. said, the old patriarch in this radius of hundreds of miles, profound martial arts, and high morality, because there was a feat of stopping horses to save children in the downtown in those years, so there is the reputation of "Chen Archway". As soon as the old man heard that Chen Ping'an was also surnamed Chen, he was extremely happy and warmly invited them to his home as guests.

Although the old man likes to drink, he doesn't like to persuade people to drink at the wine table, so Chen Ping'an is a little drunk.

In the end, I don't know how to get to the house, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I found that I was lying on an antique strange bed, lifted the quilt, put on boots and pushed the door out, looked up, the dougong was exquisite, at the beginning of the lotus flower blessed land, and the national teacher asked for a lot of books on the construction of the bridge, including a "construction of the French style", Chen Ping'an read the most, not only the bridge, but also the introduction of houses, attics and other buildings, Chen Ping'an also looked fascinated.

The houses on this side of the village are often connected to each other, so the corridors are often very long, and the brothers are next to each other after they are separated.

Chen Ping'an walked out of the corridor and walked along the bluestone road to a pond, where he stood for the night.

Actually, I didn't think much about it, I was just in a daze.

The next day, he was retained by the old patriarch who was gracious.

Although Pei Qian doesn't speak the local dialect, he still plays with a large group of peers.

When I went to call Pei Qian for dinner that day, a group of children were playing eagles and catching chickens.

Pei Qian asked Chen Ping'an to play together, Chen Ping'an smiled and hooked his fingers, raised his hand and made a gesture of knocking chestnuts.

It's just that Pei Qian can't be stalked, Chen Ping'an is the old hen who protects the chickens, and Pei Qian is the eagle who catches the chickens.

Where did Pei Qian catch the "chicken cub" on the tail of Chen Ping'an's group.

So she switched places with her peers.

As a result, Pei Qian laughed the loudest.

A young Taoist priest stood in the distance, smiling and waving, signaling that he would wait for the two of them to come to the table to eat.

The children had almost dispersed and gone home, accompanied by smoke and sunset, and the elders shouted their children's names at the door of their homes.

Chen Ping'an took Pei Qian's hand and walked towards Zhang Shanfeng.

When the three of them walked in the alley, a short old Taoist with a rosacea nose suddenly appeared in front of them, wearing a black Taoist robe, and the left and right sleeves were embroidered with a lifelike red fire dragon.

Zhang Shanfeng was stunned on the spot.

Chen Ping'an held his breath and condensed, as if facing a great enemy.

Pei Qian only glanced at it a few times, and then quickly turned his head and didn't dare to look at it again.

Zhang Shanfeng walked forward quickly, puzzled, "Master, why are you here?"

The old man glared and said, "If the teacher doesn't come to arrest you and go back to the mountains to cultivate, do you still want to marry a wife and have children outside?"

Zhang Shanfeng turned his head and smiled helplessly at Chen Ping'an, probably meaning that my master is so virtuous, don't care too much.

After the young Taoist priest turned his head, the old man looked at Zhang Shanfeng, whose face was slightly pale, and then looked at his apprentice's shoulder pierced by the natal flying sword, stomped his foot, and said angrily: "Who dares to hurt you......? Let's go and tie his straw man!"

Zhang Shanfeng stretched out his palm and wiped his face, with such a master, he really didn't have the face to see Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an's face was solemn, and he saluted this old Taoist priest from Beiju Luzhou.

As an old man surnamed Heavenly Master outside Longhu Mountain, he nodded to Chen Ping'an, and said to him bluntly with the ripples of the heart lake: "Boy, your Changsheng Bridge has been destroyed and rebuilt, right? However, your current natal object of the Water of the Five Elements, this hand refining is really full of fairy energy, well, not bad, not bad. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Shanfeng again, and asked him to stretch out his palm, the old Taoist put his fingers together in the palm of his hand to draw a talisman in the air, after the talisman was completed, he waved his sleeve casually, the golden light flashed, and it was fleeting, and then the real martial sword that should have been temporarily placed in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, as well as Xu Yuanxia's short knife, fell out of thin air.

Zhang Shanfeng was not surprised, stretched out his hand to catch the real martial arts sword and short knife, and did not forget to turn his head and explain to Chen Ping'an: "My master's cultivation is not high, and he can't do anything else, but he is still very good at this kind of little trick that is sideways." ”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, his face was full of pride, and he was not ashamed to expose the shortcomings of the closed disciples, but was proud.

Chen Ping'an glanced at the young Taoist priest, and then at the old Taoist priest embroidered with fire dragons on his sleeves, and always felt that you Zhang Shanfeng was not dark under the lamp, and he misunderstood your master too deeply.

The old man seemed to be a random "ghost drawing" on the ground with his toes, and there was no trace on the bluestone slab, and then he asked Zhang Shanfeng to stand in it, Zhang Shanfeng wanted to speak and stopped, and the old man said in an undoubted tone: "As a teacher, I want to take you to Longhu Mountain." ”

Zhang Shanfeng walked into the "Fu?" that didn't seem to exist. In the middle, he threw the short knife in his hand to Chen Ping'an, and said with a wry smile: "Help me apologize to Brother Xu, I was in too much of a hurry, so I had to say goodbye without saying goodbye." ”

Chen Ping'an took Xu Yuanxia's short knife, remembered something, and hurriedly took out the cyan wooden box from the square inch, and threw it to Zhang Shanfeng, "Inside is a method seal of the City God's Pavilion of Caiyi Country Rouge County, I gave it to you, it is best to use it with the Five Thunder Righteous Method." ”

Zhang Shanfeng saw that the wooden box was old and seemed to be very ordinary, so he was relieved to put it in his arms.

The old man squinted suddenly, and then returned to normal in an instant, and asked with a smile: "If you make a request, I will do it dozens of times, and I will not wait for it." ”

Chen Ping'an said without hesitation: "Then bother the old man, teach Zhang Shanfeng some advanced Taoism, and implore the old man to ...... a little With snacks. ”

The old man laughed heartily, stretched out his hand and nodded at Chen Ping'an, and said, "Good boy, turn around and scold people." ”

The old man stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Shanfeng, the figures of the two disappeared in a flash, and Chen Ping'an found that the thin aura around the alley did not move at all.

Chen Ping'an fell into deep thought.

Pei Qian tugged at his cuffs and asked, "What should I do?"

Chen Ping'an came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Let's eat." ”
