Chapter 252: The Mud Bodhisattva crosses the river with his sword
(11,000 word chapters.) οΌ
After paying the money into the city at the west gate of the old dragon city, walking through the city hole that can almost be described as a long time, Sun Jiashu took Chen Ping'an to a wide carriage, at first glance in addition to the larger vehicle, the horses pulling the carriage are more docile, and the rich man can not see the style of the rich man at all, the coachman is an old man who is not smiling, and when Chen Ping'an sits in the carriage, he finds that there is a hole in the sky, there are four plain white futons, facing the wall of the car curtain, is a row of bookcases to the top, slowing down the books, there is a charming brass incense burner, purple smoke curling, Chen Ping'an and Sun Jiashu sit opposite each other, Chen Ping'an is actually a little restrained, for fear of stepping on this dusty small"Study", Sun Jiashu looked at Chen Ping'an's straw sandals, and said with a smile: "When I was very young, according to the family rules, my grandfather began to take me to the north and south, before the age of eighteen, almost every year to change places, so I have been a shop guy, a fisherman, a rice shop vendor, a yamen Xu official, there are more than a dozen kinds of businesses to make a living, I actually can also weave straw sandals, but it is very rough and sloppy, not as solid and fine as your feet." β
Sun Jiashu sat cross-legged on the futon, without any lazy posture, but he still felt very relaxed and calm, he asked with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, do you know what farm work I was most afraid of doing back then?"
Chen Ping'an is not an immortal who can pinch and calculate, let alone the roundworm in Sun Jiashu's stomach, of course he can't guess. What's more, Sun Jiashu is a very strange person, although the two have not met for a long time, the more they get along, the more blurred they become.
Sun Jiashu smiled and said: "It's picking mulberry leaves, and finally picking a basket of mulberry leaves, my grandfather stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the back basket, and it became a half-back basket. And every time I go up the mountain, I will always be cut by the grass and trees barb a very slight wound, as soon as the sun shines and the sweat comes out, it will be hot and painful. Instead, he planted rice in the field, and was bitten by leeches, but he thought it was funny, and his grandfather liked to smoke dry tobacco, and it would fall off if it was burned. β
Chen Ping'an thought so, and said: "In our hometown, the paddy field was bitten by leeches, which was very troublesome, because I was reluctant to salt and vinegar, I had to toss for a long time, and those annoying leeches fought wits and courage, and finally the blood on the legs flowed, fortunately, there will be a kind of grass called 'Green Lady' in our local dialect next to the field, and the grass blades will be pasted on the wound, and the bleeding will soon be stopped." I never saw him again after I left my hometown. β
Sun Jiashu nodded with a smile, "The real poor family is not particular, and it is more durable to endure the crime, of course a rich young master like me can't compare, no matter how hard he endures, it is difficult to compare with you." At the beginning, when I went out on a long trip with my grandfather, I would cry every once in a while, shouting to go home, but now that I think about it, if I had taken a grandson like me with me, I would definitely not have the temper and patience of my grandfather. β
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "There is really such a day, maybe you will be different, maybe you will have a better temper." β
Sun Jiashu was slightly surprised, and then nodded: "It's really possible." β
A man who sits on the entire street outside the old dragon city, a teenager who he said missed an old dragon city, chatting about these local trivialities, both of them feel natural and not awkward.
The carriage drove smoothly, and although the incense burner kept rising purple smoke, the carriage did not become smoky, but there was a fresh smell of spring breeze and green grass.
Chen Ping'an said: "You run such a big family business, and you came to pick me up, how much money do you have to lose? β
Sun Jiashu shook his head and said: "How to make money is one thing, the baht must be compared, even a copper coin needs to be calculated with others, but how to spend it with money depends on each other's habits." Like me, I'm really trying to make money all year round, just so that I don't have to be too stingy in making friends, and I have to worry about a word of money. β
Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "It makes sense!"
I can't wait to take out the remaining bamboo slips in the square inch, and quickly engrave Sun Jiashu's truth on it.
When he really has money, if someone says that he is a bad person in the future, he will use Sun Jiashu's words to refute the other party.
Chen Ping'an has always been a good listener, and from the conversation, Sun Jiashu's original vague impression gradually became clear, and he was a very "calm" ...... Rich!
It's not a great thing that my Sun Jiashu is so rich, but I don't have to deliberately manipulate with others, deliberately lower my value, get along with other friends that Sun Jiashu identifies, and truly sit on an equal footing from the inside out.
Chen Ping'an felt that this was what a truly rich person should look like.
The carriage came to a rural place, under the horse's hooves is a yellow mud road, so the vehicle is a little bumpy and undulating, Sun Jiashu saw Chen Ping'an a little strange, smiled and lifted the curtain, outside the car window is a large bush of reeds, verdant green, with the carriage forward, there are even golden rape flowers, it is pleasing to the eye, it stands to reason that the flowering period of rape flowers has long passed, Chen Ping'an only thinks that the water and soil of the old dragon city are different from his hometown.
Sun Jiashu explained: "This is the ancestral land of my Sun ancestors, and future generations have always tried their best to maintain the original appearance, for fear of damaging the feng shui ancestors, and there is also the meaning of remembering the ancestors." The Sun family entertains distinguished guests, and the gods and emperors on the mountain are all placed in the Sun Mansion in the inner city, which is a place full of gold and jade, no worse than the old dragon mansion of the Fu family. But entertaining real friends, or willing to pull here, more than ten miles ahead, is the ancestral house of the Sun family, covering a small area, the courtyard of the three entrances, the house is near the water, facing a river, you can fish, I hope you will like it. β
Chen Ping'an smiled brightly: "I like it, how can I not like it." β
Sun Jiashu smiled and asked, "Why don't we get out of the car and walk?"
Of course, Chen Ping'an had no objections, so the two got out of the car and walked to the ancestral house of the Sun family, Sun Jiashu said the general situation of this ancestral land, and said lightly, "A radius of 100 miles, all of which are our Sun family, there are six villages, about 2,000 households, raising silkworms and growing tea, all the production, all the Sun family bought at a price slightly higher than the market price, and the villagers' income is acceptable, so they can live and work here in peace and contentment", so that Chen Ping'an really understood the size of the old dragon city and the generosity of the Sun family.
When he could already see the outline of the Sun family's ancestral house, Chen Ping'an asked, "Is there a cross-continent ferry to the Inverted Hanging Mountain in Old Dragon City?"
Sun Jiashu nodded and said: "Yes, the old dragon city is actually the largest business hub in the Aquarius Continent, where you can make money, you can go wherever you want, but if you want to go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi through the inverted hanging mountain to make money, not everyone has this ability, even if it is the five major surnames including the old dragon city Fu family and the Sun family, this business must be done carefully, and all aspects must be taken care of." β
Speaking of this, Sun Jiashu sighed with some emotion, and said slowly: "For thousands of years, not to mention the city lord Fu family, the five surnames of the old dragon city have all been changed several times, except for the Sun family, and the ones planted on the side of the inverted hanging mountain account for most of them. Now there are only six ferries in the old dragon city that can go to the inverted hanging mountain, the Fu family accounts for two, the six ferries are very large, at least one time can carry more than 2,000 people, the Fu family ferry, is a treasure swallowing whale and a Mo family giant to build a floating mountain, known as the 'small upside down', the pavilions and pavilions on the top, Qionglou Yuyu, the scenery is very good, it is the preferred ferry boat for the gods on the mountain, almost every time there will be many monks in the Jindan Yuan Infant Realm. And our Sun's ferry, is a mountain turtle captured and tamed by the ancestors, the back of the tortoise shell is as big as a mountain peak, can accommodate 2,400 guests, of course, more goods, a trip to the upside-down hanging mountain, the real money, is definitely not the guest to take the ferry that little bit of the fee, but all kinds of Aquarius and Juluzhou materials and specialties, as long as it can be sent to the inverted hanging mountain, it is a million profits, but the road is far away, there are many accidents, the ferry casualties are heavy, and it is not impossible to return home. Therefore, it is already a university to choose the right ferry boat according to the year, season and hexagram. β
In the end, Sun Jiashu was a little self-deprecating, and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you that the old Longcheng Fu family and our five major surnames are all protΓ©gΓ©s of merchants among the hundreds of princes, and the ancestors of each family's big house are different from the Confucian saints in the Confucian Temple." I heard that in the earliest days, there was a Confucian palace sage who finally enjoyed the Confucian Temple and was in a very high position, and said that dog meat was not on the table, in fact, it was about our business. This kind of evaluation is quite polite, what kind of businessman is cheap, the last seat of a hundred schools, a copper smell, businessmen will have no benevolence and righteousness, and the world is becoming more and more meritorious, these scolding are even more ruthless. Therefore, there are many merchants on the nine continents of Haoran World, but they will definitely not be promoted as the mainstream by any dynasty. β
Chen Ping'an could only listen to these inside stories about the purpose of the hundred schools of thought, and did not dare to make arbitrary comments and draw conclusions.
When I arrived at the small ancestral house of the Sun family, there were no beautiful maids and pretty maids, only a dozen old men and women who took care of the house, Sun Jiashu invited Chen Ping'an to have a meal, neither dragon liver and phoenix marrow, nor coarse tea and light rice, all from the seasonal vegetables and fish, shrimp, chicken and duck near the house, made very good, the only hard dish, should be a soup of several seafood ingredients, Chen Ping'an is used to eating river fresh, not very accustomed, Sun Jiashu did not persuade him to eat more, anyway, Chen Ping'an only according to his own preference to put chopsticks and vegetables.
After eating, the two walked by the river outside the house, and Chen Ping'an asked, "Sun Gongzi, do you know a place called Dust Pharmacy in Laolong City?"
Sun Jiashu thought for a moment, "I haven't heard of it before, but I can help you find it soon." β
Chen Ping'an thanked him.
Sun Jiashu smiled and waved his hand, signaling that Chen Ping'an didn't need to be so polite. He stooped down and picked up a flat stone, threw it sideways, and floated all the way to the opposite shore.
On the opposite bank is a field of rape flowers, spreading all the way out, and as far as the eye can see, it is all golden.
Chen Ping'an had already put the package in the room where he lived, and re-pinned the sword cultivation glove to his waist, of course, he was still carrying the sword box. I took off the "ginger kettle" and took a sip of wine, and the river flowed slowly, like a quiet and serene old man.
Sun Jiashu stopped and said: "I have roughly calculated, there are three ferries left to the inverted hanging mountain in the near future, and the remaining three have not yet returned, one is our Sun family's mountain turtle, and then the Fu family's treasure swallowing whale, and the Fan family's osmanthus island." If from the perspective of stability, I recommend that you take the Treasure Swallowing Whale, because in the past ten years, the transcontinental waterway to the inverted Hanging Mountain, the climate is harsh, and the mountain turtles are not as good as the Treasure Swallowing Whales, and even the Osmanthus Island made of islands, after all, no matter how good the temper of the mountain turtles is, after all, they are flesh and blood creatures, and the wreck and crash of the Da Jiao Mountain Kun boat in the middle of the Aquarius Island is an example. And the treasure swallowing whale, being able to swim far in the deep sea, is the most stable, and that channel is a familiar route that the Fu family has opened up for many years, and how to avoid those big demons in the water has long been familiar with it. If you want to save money and be comfortable, it must be my mountain turtle, you stay on top, don't dare to say how to enjoy happiness, after all, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you don't have to worry about anything......"
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a long time, and then burst out of a sentence, "Either mountain turtles, or osmanthus island, I will definitely not take the treasure swallowing whale." β
Sun Jiashu was surprised and asked, "Why?"
Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed, "In my hometown Lizhu Dongtian, I almost killed Fu Nanhua, the young city lord of Old Dragon City, where did I dare to take his ferry." β
Sun Jiashu couldn't help but stretch out his hand and put his hand on Chen Ping'an's shoulder, and slapped it hard, "Chen Ping'an! I have seen many heroes and heroes, but there are not many who are as bold as you!"
Chen Ping'an sighed, because listening to Sun Jiashu's tone, he knew that Fu Nanhua was really not easy to mess with.
Sun Jiashu endured it for a long time, but he couldn't help laughing, "The young city lord of the old dragon city, although there is more than one, there are several disciples of the Fu family who are expected to inherit the ancestral old dragon robe, but everyone in the world knows that Fu Nanhua is the most valued by the city lord Fu Qi, and one of the Fu family ancestors who holds a half-immortal soldier is also the preacher of Fu Nanhua, but in recent years, he has been in retreat, and it is rumored that he is sprinting to the five realms. Therefore, Fu Nanhua is most likely to become the next city lord. Chen Ping'an, you can, if this spreads, I guarantee that within a month, you will immediately become famous in Banzhou. β
Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "This kind of reputation, let's not want it." β
The more Sun Jiashu laughed, the happier he became, "Although I have dealt with Fu Nanhua a lot, and I am not even a simple friend of wine and meat, of course, Fu Nanhua and Liu Baqiao are still far from comparable, and when I hear this truth today, I just want to laugh, it seems that I am too unkind." So Chen Ping'an, you should also be leisurely, be friends with people like me, don't be too friendly for the time being, you must be everywhere. β
As a result, Chen Ping'an said, "Actually, I am not very familiar with Liu Baqiao, and I have met twice in total." β
Sun Jiashu was a little aggrieved, "Then Liu Baqiao said in the letter that it is like you were born and died a hundred times, what's the matter? β
Chen Ping'an asked tentatively, "The nickname is Sun Tzu?"
Sun Jiashu stretched out his hand to support his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Can you guess this?"
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Although I have only seen it twice, I know Liu Baqiao's temper, and he is the least positive." β
Sun Jiashu sighed: "The relationship between me and Fu Nanhua is nothing more than the end of a white head, you and Liu Baqiao, a bit of a familiar thing at first sight." β
The coachman appeared in the distance, Sun Jiashu glanced back, and said to Chen Ping'an: "I have to go to the Sun Mansion in the inner city to see a guest immediately, and I have made an appointment." Someone will tell you about the dust pharmacy before dark at the latest. And since you have a mortal enmity with Fu Nanhua, as long as you go out in the near future, you must have someone greet me first, and I will ask someone to arrange the itinerary. In this way, the ferry boat travels far away, and the Fu family swallowing treasure whale can be eliminated first, and you can simply take my mountain turtle to the inverted hanging mountain, and set off on time in twenty days. During this time, you can live in my ancestral house, you want anything, as long as the old dragon city has it, I can help you send it over, don't feel embarrassed, before you speak, you can keep telling yourself, 'That grandson is rich and rich, be a friend, it is blessed and enjoy the hardships together, enjoy the blessings first, fight side by side in the future, and then endure the hardships, so that there is no loss'. β
"Okay, I'm not going to be polite to you. β
Chen Ping'an nodded with a smile and blinked, "This sentence was said by Liu Baqiao, right?"
Sun Jiashu stretched out his thumb, "No wonder Liu Baqiao wants to be friends with you, you know him!"
Sun Jiashu said goodbye and left, followed the old coachman who Chen Ping'an couldn't see the depth, and gradually walked away, taking a carriage to the inner city of the old Dragon City.
So Chen Ping'an, who was alone, began to practice six steps along the river.
The calm river, the endless rape fields, the ordinary dirt road, if it weren't for the lack of a stone arch bridge and a Ruanjia sword shop, Chen Ping'an would almost think that he was in his hometown.
Chen Ping'an practiced boxing all the way out of more than ten miles, and then there was a small village built along the river, there were chickens and dogs barking, and there was smoke curling, Chen Ping'an stopped practicing boxing, looked around, there was a small wooden bridge across the river around him, at this moment, he felt like a world away for no reason.
Chen Ping'an was about to turn around and walk back to the ancestral house of the Sun family, when he found that in the rape field on the other side, a group of plainly dressed children walked out, most of them were young people from private schools, and some were younger, with snot hanging on their noses. There are two older boys, holding wooden swords and bamboo swords that should be cut out by the elders of the family, the style is simple, only a rough embryo of a sword, the two seem to be competing in swordsmanship, walking on the ridge of the field, facing the rape flower is a chop, and shouting and shouting, full of momentum.
Poor field ridge rape flowers for the two children cut all over the place, soon there was a young child behind, suddenly crying, it turned out that he was quite happy at first, only to find out that this rape field is his family, if this to the father and mother to know, he returned home and not the butt flowered?
But he didn't dare to stop the two old "swordsmen", so he had to cry heartbreakingly, but fortunately, one of the swordsmen soon realized that something was wrong, took out a piece of frozen rice candy slices baked by his own family, and then told the child a few words, and the young child with snot and tears on his face immediately smiled, swaggered behind the two swordsmen, and watched them swish out of the sword, which was very powerful. I thought that when I was older and had the strength, I would have to ask my father who was a carpenter for a sword and cut down all the rape flowers, how majestic would that be? The neighbor's little girl with green flowers could only like to play with Xiaoxiu at the back of the village? At that time, she would definitely stick to herself every day.
Chen Ping'an looked straight at it.
Liu Xianyang liked to do this kind of annoying thing the most, not only to chop rape flowers with a wooden sword, but also to knock down the ridges of high and low fields, to smash ducks in the river with stones, to be scolded by women every day, and to be beaten by others, and later he and Chen Ping'an both became potters, Liu Xianyang did less, felt bored, and liked to run into the mountains, catch snakes and catch pheasants. But there is an extra Gu Can behind Chen Ping'an's buttocks, which carries forward Liu Xianyang's ability, but compared to Liu Xianyang's generous way to do bad things, the young slug Gu Can is too alert, and he will almost never be discovered, both the perseverance and perseverance that Chen Ping'an admires, and the precocious cunning that does not match his age.
Under the sun, just to catch a yellow eel, Gu Can could pout his ass and wait for most of the day alone.
Every time it was time to eat in Mud Bottle Alley, the shouts of Gu Can's mother would be heard.
Chen Ping'an squatted by the river and threw stones into the water.
The children came from the side of the single-plank bridge, head after head, like a long string of sugar gourds.
Seeing Chen Ping'an's unfamiliar face, the children were not afraid, just looked at it a few more times, and walked to the village not far away, but a child holding a bamboo sword, turned around three times in one step, and his eyes were always on the sword box behind Chen Ping'an, and finally he couldn't resist his curiosity, turned around and ran, came to Chen Ping'an's side, and asked in a straight Aquarius dialect: "Are you a swordsman?"
Chen Ping'an stood up, clapped his palms, and asked with a smile, "Are you too?"
The child rolled his eyes, feeling that this question was so naΓ―ve, and said angrily: "I still need a peerless secret book." β
Chen Ping'an held back a smile and nodded, "Me too." β
The child looked down at the bamboo sword in his hand, then looked up at the hilt of the sword in the wooden box behind the guy, and asked, "Can you show me your sword?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "No." β
The eldest child tugged at the corners of his mouth and glanced at the vermilion wine gourd on Chen Ping'an's waist, "You are stingy, you don't look like a swordsman walking the rivers and lakes at all." I don't think your jug contains wine, but water. β
Chen Ping'an asked, "Then have you ever seen a real swordsman?"
The child nodded vigorously.
A little girl with a flushed face said timidly, "We have only been to the market dozens of miles away, and we can't see the swordsman." β
Soon, a sincere child chimed in: "Mr. Xueshu told us some poems of swordsmen, and some very expensive villain books will be sold in the bazaar, and there are many heroes painted on them, among which the swordsman is the most powerful, and all the bad guys can't beat them." β
The child, who admitted that he had seen the real swordsman, glared back, and the two children behind him immediately shut up.
In addition, the slightly older child holding a wooden sword, who was tiger-headed, asked Chen Ping'an, "How powerful are your swordsmanship?"
This question really stumped Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an had no choice but to say: "I have seen a very powerful swordsman with my own eyes, not drawn in your villain book." β
The bamboo sword child sneered.
The honest boy holding the wooden sword believed it for seven or eight points, and asked: "Then have you learned swordsmanship from those heroes?" If you can play swordsmanship, I believe that you are a real swordsman." If you can, will you take me as an apprentice at that time? I want to learn swordsmanship from you, not the kind of rape flowers, for example, if you go down with a sword, you can cut the bridge in our village, and I can learn from you now!"
Chen Ping'an couldn't help laughing.
Just his own swordsmanship, and he still learned from his own teacher?
Chen Ping'an didn't know that the Sun family's ancestral house, which is a hundred miles of local people, is a famous paradise in the old dragon city, although the people who have lived in this generation are mostly ordinary villagers with simple temperaments, but there are also many masters in the secret to help the Sun family keep an eye on the feng shui of this ancestral house and not be destroyed by outsiders. It's just that the mountains up and down the mountains seem to be worlds apart, but in fact, there are some situations where the gods don't know before. In addition to the two old men of the ancestral house of the Sun family, there is also a woodcutter who lives in seclusion on the mountain, and an old man who is scattered here and full of children and grandchildren, all of whom are real monks, three gold pills and one yuan baby, both the ancestors of the Sun family who ignore mundane things, and the worldly masters who come here to take refuge and live in seclusion, of course, there are also people who are hired by the Sun family with a lot of money, the wealth is moving, and the gods are inevitable, after all, every year the money is collected, and the money is collected by Gu Yu.
The four great qi practitioners gathered in front of the woodcutter's hut at this moment, because it was one of the eyes of the formation, so the woodcutter who looked like a young man waved his hand, the mountains and rivers were filled with mist, gathering into a picture, and everyone's vision always followed the young man with the back sword who practiced boxing along the river, and the four began to bet on this person's realm, some people said that since he was a friend of Sun Jiashu, he was a talented sword cultivator, and his fist intent was just a disguise, it must be a young Dongfu realm sword cultivator, and some people retorted, saying that he may not be among the five realms. The other two are arguing about whether the boy is a martial artist in the fourth realm or the fifth realm, one of them said that the boy is the fourth realm with an excellent foundation, not the ordinary martial arts fifth realm, in addition to his own excellent talent, the boy must also have been helped by a master since he was a child, and he is the child of a top tycoon who has been soaked in a medicine jar, maybe he was born in a thousand-year-old family in a rich country.
Although the four immortals each held one end and fought for red faces, they were also happy.
ββββ
The small pharmacy in the inner city, the not very serious man squatted on the bench and came to the mouth of the alley, but today he didn't bring melon seeds, but a miscellaneous book bought by a girl in the shop, on which a lot of empty stories were written, mostly the deeds and teachings of the saints of Confucianism and Taoism, written with their feet off the ground 108,000 miles of the truth, where would the man see this in the past, but he squatted at the entrance of the alley for so long, and no woman was willing to talk to him, so that the man felt that he might be a little less bookish, and he flipped through the book with a book in his hand, maybe there would be an unexpected joyγ
In the scorching summer, the woman's clothes are much cooler, the man sits in the shade of a small tree, pretending to read a book, and the corner of his eyes is actually sticky to the woman's face and figure like sweat.
It's a pity that the man found out that he had taken a book as a reader, and no woman was willing to look at him squarely.
Except for a certain woman, here again, bucket waist, pockmarked face, face plate bigger than the man's buttocks, the man cried and mourned, and finally began to seriously turn the book, the young woman who lived nearby, walked back and forth several times, the waist was not twisted, but swayed, the man always pretended to be blind, and then the woman really couldn't bear the scorching sun, and reluctantly glanced at her lover in the photo, and went home satisfied.
The man turned the book very quickly, and finally stopped on a page of the book, recording a Taoist great sage with the suffix "Zi", by telling a story about the "Void Boat", in order to explain the truth of the Dao. It is said that someone was in a small boat in the river, and a small boat came to each other, and the person shouted three times to remind him, but he still bumped into it, and the person cursed, and finally found that there was no one on the boat, so he laughed.
In the end, of course, there will be the golden words of the saint who will be passed down to future generations, and the saint will say, "To be alone is to be unique." The only one is the most noble. β
The sage also said, "Only man can swim in the void in the world, and he will not avoid others." β
The man didn't think that this was nonsense, and even he could understand the true meaning of it, but even if he understood these big and inappropriate truths, it would be of no benefit to him.
Because he is not the same as the Taoist sage.
Even if it was the teacher's school, he had secretly audited it many times, and he understood all the truths, even if it was some difficult and obscure places, he had quite a feeling, but it was useless for his own cultivation.
But the thing that he didn't understand the most was that the senior brother who was also practicing in a small place, that guy was doing the vulgar things of a rural village man all day long, but he was able to climb all the way up the realm and went to the Great Sui Palace, and that guy has even become a martial artist in the Ten Realms now. I like to scold my master all year round, and I often say that the senior brother has a good understanding.
He didn't hold a grudge against his master or brother because of this, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had been living a very poor life for so many years, and he didn't even have the heart to prove it to his master, so he became more and more aggrieved.
Until the master drove him from the town in the north to this old dragon city.
He had no complaints.
He was just worried that the old man would stay in the town alone, Li Er was gone, no one to boast about, he was also gone, no one to scold, the old man who smoked dry cigarettes all day long, how boring was it?
He is a pure martial artist who has long been at the peak of the Eight Realms, guarding a small pharmacy all day long, and teasing those long-legged girls with meat words.
Master, who rarely said a word to himself, finally said a little more, but it was an unfortunate sentence that covered the coffin, "You Zheng Dafeng don't expect the Nine Realms of Martial Arts in your life." β
The man closed the book and fanned it vigorously in his ear as a fan.
Then his face darkened, and he skilfully picked up the bench and ran back to the alley pharmacy.
The girl who dared to covet his beauty didn't die, went home and changed into a fancy dress, and began to wander around the street again.
Frightened back to the pharmacy, the man collapsed on the shopkeeper's chair, suddenly his eyes lit up, he raised his butt and wiped it, wow, there are beauties who have secretly sat down, and there is still residual warmth on the chair, but you can't squander it, hurry up and rub it.
A young girl with a resentful look in her eyes reluctantly took out a few copper coins, slammed them into the palm of a woman's hand, and then glared at the shopkeeper fiercely.
The man knew it in his heart, hehe smiled, the big and small girls are betting on themselves, to see if they can be wise and martial to perceive the body temperature of the beauty, it is really naughty.
Someone came to visit, it was a handsome young man, with his dress, it could be seen that he was a rich family, but how rich he was, the woman in the pharmacy was born in the market, and her eye sockets were still shallow, so she couldn't tell. But men like to look at beauties, and women like to look at handsome men, what's wrong?
The warblers and swallows in the store were all in good spirits, and the man was suddenly listless, and said weakly: "Fan family boy, what are you going to do?"
Facing the sloppy man, the young man was a little restrained, and then endured the discomfort in his heart, pinched a small bench with two fingers, sat next to the man, and said softly: "Mr. Zheng, my father asked me to ask, when can you officially teach me boxing?"
The man said perfunctorily: "Fan boy, the three realms break the four realms, and you can't come in a hurry." β
The young man had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to urge this Mr. Zheng.
The man thought that he had only taught the young man a little fur from beginning to end, which was really not worth a few dollars, and it was not as valuable as this inner city pharmacy, and a martial artist in the five or six realms could teach it.
The man was a little unbearable, lowered his voice, and said: "Pure martial arts are not as good as qi practitioners, the latter likes to travel thousands of miles a day, the talent is scary, and it is okay to break a realm in a day, but martial artists are not good, no matter how good the qualifications are, they must be down-to-earth, step by step, and even sometimes, they can clearly break through the realm, they have to press hard, and they must peel off the cocoons little by little, and repair them little by little." What you are doing now, the ointment I want your father to boil for you, and the hot spring that you have created, are all cultivation, but the cultivation you need most at the moment, not some rush to enter the Qi Refining Realm. β
The man finally smiled and said: "Okay, what your father wants you to come, it's your kid who is in a hurry." β
The young man in the old dragon city was frowning and ashamed.
It is too difficult for the three realms of martial arts to reach the fourth realm.
That's why he is called the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, almost all of it depends on his own talent, and the martial arts masters of the Seven Realms can't give guidance. The great master of the Eight Realms who traveled far away in the realm may teach a shortcut, but generally speaking, the qi practitioners of the Eight Realms are easy to find, but the martial artists of the Eight Realms, a huge Aquarius Continent, can there be a handful! And almost all of them are nobles who have been tried their best to be enveloped and respected by the Great Dynasty, and it is said that this also involves the illusory martial arts of a country, where can it fall on the head of the old Dragon City? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is, the Fu family and the Sun family are richer than his family, and it will definitely not be the turn of the Fan family.
The man patted his chest and promised: "Fan boy, wait a little longer, as long as you polish to the real bottleneck of the Three Realms, I will take action, and I will not let your Fan family's money go down the drain, and it will be difficult for you kid not to break through the realm at that time." β
The young man came to the shop full of sorrow and left the alley refreshed.
Along the way, the Jindan Realm Ancestor was secretly following the escort.
You must know that a ferry boat on Osmanthus Island, on the day the boy was born, had already rowed to his name, and only on the day he made the crown ceremony, he would be able to call on the amazing wealth that skyrocketed year by year.
As soon as the boy left, the women began to chirp again, asking about the young man's family history, the man stretched out a palm, made a grasping motion, his eyes swept over their chests, and said shyly: "The old rules of the pharmacy, which of you is willing to pay the capital, the shopkeeper will tell her the identity and name of the young man, where he lives, whether he likes to be plump or petite and delicate......"
None of the women took the bait.
The man said regretfully: "I can't bear to be a little lover, I'm really upset for you." β
The women had long since dispersed, whispering in small quarters and whispering about the young man.
The man slumped comfortably on the chair and said to himself: "My Zheng Dafeng's woman's fate is comparable to the fortune of the surname Chen Xiaozi in his early years, it's hard to be a brother, it's hard to be a ......brother, it's hard to be a brother, it's hard to be a brother."
This pharmacy shopkeeper named Zheng Dafeng, from Lizhu Dongtian, used to be in charge of guarding the door and collecting a bag of gold and copper coins from people.
Not long ago, Master brought him a letter, asking him to prepare to help Chen Ping'an break up the four "True Qi Eight Tael Talismans".
But at the end of the secret letter, he also said that if Chen Ping'an could break through the realm by himself, let him Zheng Dafeng ensure that the young man was in Old Dragon City and had a smooth ride.
Zheng Dafeng turned his head to look at the alley outside the shop and muttered, "The Fan family kid, a martial arts genius in the eyes of the world, should at most post a few true qi half-catty talismans, right? That elm pimple surnamed Chen, I haven't seen him for a few days, and he is already so violent? Even if he practices boxing, even if he Chen Ping'an started learning that breathing technique, how many years has it been?"
The man laughed at himself: "Master, you really haven't wronged anyone, sure enough, the senior brother is more perceptive, I was very optimistic about Chen Ping'an at that time." β
Suddenly, a young girl was full of anger and screamed at the man: "Shopkeeper Zheng!
Zheng Dafeng coughed, took out the book from his arms, and put it on the counter.
The girl's face flushed, "And what!"
Zheng Dafeng suddenly took out a woman's intimate profane clothes from his arms, wrapped them in a ball in his hand, gently placed them next to the books, and explained with a weak heart: "Your package is so open, and the corner of the book is exposed, I am a little curious, after taking the book, I found that the profane clothes are a little dirty, so I am kind and want to help you clean ......"
The girl with pink cheeks quickly put away her dirty clothes, then grabbed the book, slammed it on the man's face, and exclaimed angrily: "Big color embryo!
The man took the book and said seriously: "You misunderstand that I am not a righteous gentleman, even if I suffer this humiliation, because you are good-looking, I can forgive you, but the dirty clothes are dirty, and you must not live up to the kindness I helped you clean." β
There was a burst of laughter in the pharmacy, mixed with the laughter and scolding of the women, and the broken mouths of the girls.
Zheng Dafeng hugged the back of his head with both hands, squinted and smiled.
ββββ
The paradise sheltered by the Sun family on the other side of the outer city of the old dragon city, near the wooden bridge near the village.
The four mountain immortals have already withdrawn the landscape formation, after all, it is not interesting to watch a young man from a foreign country fighting with a group of country children.
As for whether the young man with the sword on his back was a sword cultivator with excellent camouflage or a pure martial artist in the body refining realm, the four of them still did not quarrel and came up with a result that could convince the public. However, the four are well-informed monks, the old dragon city is the most mixed area in the Aquarius Continent, and many talented people from the three continents in the east will pass through here, and most of them are willing to enjoy their faces, become the guests of the Fu family and the five surnames, and take over a small incense, so the four qi practitioners who are very high in their own cultivation can't talk about how to surprise the young man.
But without exception, they all thought that the guest that Sun Jiashu personally brought to the ancestral house, whether it was a qi practitioner or a pure martial artist, must be a very uncheesy young genius, maybe the next time he came here, the young man might have become a middle-aged man, and he would be a Jindanke, and he would be my generation. Or enter the seventh realm, it is expected that he will be able to use his martial arts physique to resist the way of heaven, so as to travel far away against the wind, and at that time, it is the distinguished guests of the four who need to show up to greet them, not just a friend of Sun Jiashu.
By the river, the children, led by two little swordsmen, began to encourage Chen Ping'an to show off his swordsmanship, so as to prove that he was a swordsman who walked the rivers and lakes, not a charlatan who pretended to be a hero with a wine gourd.
At first, Chen Ping'an just missed the time when he was a child, joking with these children and teasing them.
Later, it was discovered that although the child was young, he was innocent, and he had never seen the real Old Dragon City, let alone any rivers and lakes and swordsmen.
But some of their feelings are real, such as the bamboo sword child, although his mouth is full of sarcasm, but looking at the depths of his Chen Ping'an's eyes, there will still be a trace of hope, hoping that he will be the master of the rivers and lakes painted in the villain's book, and he can defeat the wicked with swordsmanship.
The wooden sword child is extremely eager to worship the master as a teacher, he even thought about kowtowing and burning incense, just waiting for the "adult" with the sword on his back in his eyes to be able to draw the sword out of the sheath.
The rest of the children also opened their eyes one by one, waiting for Chen Ping'an to show off his skills, so that he could brag to his father and mother when he went home for dinner.
Chen Ping'an scratched his head, "Then I'll show my hand?"
All the children were neatly pecking at the chickens, and the wooden sword boy did not forget to complain with the method of agitation: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I am not happy, I see that you are a liar, I am afraid of revealing the stuffing, right?"
Chen Ping'an laughed, and was about to subconsciously reach out to take off the sword cultivation glove, but after thinking about it, he still withdrew his hand and stopped drinking.
He turned his head to look at the other side, where the river was four feet wide.
Chen Ping'an turned around and faced the riverbank, "You have a good look." β
The kids couldn't take their eyes off and didn't know what this guy was going to do.
Chen Ping'an jumped on the spot twice and shook his legs.
The three realms break the four realms, and it is said that the mud bodhisattva crosses the river.
Chen Ping'an has completely forgotten about this stubble at the moment.
Chen Ping'an slowly raised his arm and reminded again: "Okay?"
The children nodded in unison.
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and rounded his shoulder, holding the locust wood sword in the wooden box.
Instantly drew the sword, threw it to the other side of the river, and used martial arts skill, after a turn in the air, the sword turned into the tip of the sword pointing straight at the opposite bank, and flew straight away, but it didn't fly fast.
"Let's go!"
Chen Ping'an laughed, tiptoed a little, his figure swept away, and his feet stepped on the wooden sword one after the other.
At first, it was a little swaying, but after standing firm, the boy seemed to step on a flying sword to resist the wind and cross the river.
Wow!
It's really a fairy swordsman, not a liar.
The children were dumbfounded, their faces full of envy and adoration.
Chen Ping'an, who finally stepped on the sword to cross the river, moved sideways, landed on a small ridge on the other side of the river before the Huaimu sword, and then caught the falling Huaimu sword.
He stood among the golden rape flowers, and near his hands and feet, wisps of invisible true qi were crumbling and drifting.
Chen Ping'an's heart was shocked, first he was a little less stunned than the children, and then he turned around and stretched out a thumbs up to those children, pointed to himself, and said with a smile: "My name is Chen Ping'an, and I am a swordsman!"
Chen Ping'an went in the direction of Sun's ancestral house, this time he threw out the Huai Mu sword, and the momentum sank, so the wooden sword flew away quickly, Chen Ping'an got up again to catch up, this time stepping on the sword to resist the wind, he was already extremely familiar.
Finally, there is a little bit of the demeanor of a young sword fairy.
One man and one sword, cross the river again.
Chen Ping'an stepped on the sword, wrapped his arms around his chest, closed his eyes, raised his head high, and silently felt some wonderful flow between heaven and earth.
Facing the breeze, Chen Ping'an, who was relaxed, had already crossed the river with mud bodhisattvas, so now it is the fourth realm.
