Chapter 404: Hearts and Minds
Cui Dongshan casually put down the pair of chopsticks, lowered his head, arranged the two chopsticks neatly, raised his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are sure that I will not kill here?"
Cui Dongshan clapped his hands and smiled, and slowly got up, "You bet right." I really won't kill indiscriminately, after all, I still have to return to Mountain Cliff Academy. That's it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I, as an ancestor, can only help you get here. ”
Cai Jingshen stretched out his hand and motioned for Cui Dongshan to sit back in his position, and asked, "How can you prove that your words work, in the Great Sui Dynasty and the opposition, and in the Great Li Temple?"
Cui Dongshan leaned lazily on the chair, reached out and grabbed his hair bun to play, and twisted it gently, "It's hard to prove." ”
Cai Jingshen had to take a step back, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Then how do you take Cai Feng out, and it must be the kind that does not leave future troubles, and it will not affect his future career? ”
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Shanren has their own clever plan, rest assured, I guarantee that Cai Feng was an official to the six Shangshu during his lifetime, except for the Ministry of Rites, this position is too important, Lao Tzu is not the Emperor of Dali, as for after death, within a hundred years, he will be the lord of the Chenghuang Pavilion in a big state, except for the land of Longxing in Gao's Geyang, how about it?"
Cai Jingshen asked tentatively: "Then my Cai family's choice and reputation?"
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will let you and the Cai family cooperate with the two bitter schemes, and everyone will give you Cai Jingshen a thumbs up, and the future history books will definitely be good words." ”
Cai Jingshen wanted to speak and stopped.
Cui Dongshan sneered and said, "Between you and me, sign the Landscape Covenant of the Earth Immortals?" Cai Jingshen, I advise you not to do this. ”
Cai Jingshen thought of the pair of erected golden pupils, and his heart was terrified, although he and the Cai family were slaughtered by others, and he felt aggrieved, but compared to the unbearable consequences, because Cai Feng alone dragged the entire family into the abyss, and even affected the cultivation of his ancestor, this sadness at the moment is not unbearable.
Now that it has become a temporary ally.
Cai Jingshen wanted to express a little sincerity, "Back then, Mr. Cui was assassinated by someone with a golden thread in the academy to escape in place of the death talisman, doesn't Mr. Cui want to know the mastermind behind the scenes? Or do you think it's actually a group of people?"
Cui Dongshan squinted at Cai Jingshen.
Cai Jingshen looked uncomfortable, and he didn't understand what he said wrong.
Cui Dongshan stood up and took a pot of unopened cellar wine from the table, "I was so bored in the academy that I was about to hang myself on the top of the mountain, and it was not easy to wait for such an interesting thing, do you see what I did afterwards? After waiting for a long time, I didn't see them continue to sneak attack and assassinate, so I had to take the initiative to go to Qingxiaodu to stretch my neck, but as a result, no one dared to make a move, so I had to move a few big cars Qingxiaodu Luzhu back to the academy to lay the floor, what should be the price, I will give as much summer money as I want, why?" Thank them for relieving my boredom, I planned so many back-ups in order to deal with the second assassination, although I didn't have the opportunity to show it, but the process of using my brain was still very good to pass the boring time. ”
Cui Dongshan walked around the table and patted Cai Jingshen on the shoulder, "Xiao Cai, you are still too young to know my temper, and after getting along for a long time in the future, you will find that you have recognized a good ancestor." If you have time to go to your ancestral tomb to take a look, you must be billowing smoke, if there is a dream from the ancestors of the Cai family to you in the near future, and you will be grateful to me with a handful of snot and tears, you will tell them, don't thank me, be kind and charitable, it has always been the foundation of my knowledge. ”
Cai Jingshen kept a straight face and ignored it.
The cattle monster of the genus of the ground cow has already gone to the "bullpen" to rest.
Wei Xian kept sitting at the wine table where Cui Dongshan and Cai Jingshen were, not saying a word, just drinking.
Wei Xian followed Cui Dongshan to his residence.
After the two of them took the two, Cui Dongshan drew a thunder pool with that golden flying sword to isolate Cai Jingshen's prying eyes.
Cui Dongshan kicked his boots, sat cross-legged on the chair, and asked with a smile: "You can help cover the coffin with a sentence or two." ”
Wei Xian said slowly: "The high-flying bird, died of food. The fish of the deep spring, died of the bait. ”
In Wei Xian's opinion, Cai Jingshen and his ilk, the two ends of the first rat, are not worth mentioning.
Under the general trend, the torrent is rolling, even if it is a primordial infant earth immortal, it is still a mantis arm as a car.
Before entering the state city, Cui Dongshan showed Wei Xian a lot of spy reports about the inside story of the Great Sui, and the conspiracy of Cai Feng in the capital was just a trivial matter compared to the secret hidden by the Gao clan elder to worship Cai Jingshen himself.
The Great Sui Gao clan was able to join forces with the Lu Dynasty to suppress the rise of Da Li, who had the national teacher Cui Yun and the Mountain Cliff Academy, which dragged on for decades.
It's not just that the Gao Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty is far-sighted.
At the beginning, Da Li had a branch of the Mo family and a master of the Lu family of the Yin and Yang family, who helped build the imitation Bai Yujing, Da Sui and Lu family, and there were also great monks of the hundred schools of Zhuzi back then, hiding behind the scenes, pointing fingers.
Cai Jingshen is a deeply buried and important chess piece.
Don't look at Cai Jingshen's performance tonight is cowering, the situation is completely in the hands of Cui Dongshan, in fact, Cai Jingshen, even when he "resigned from the negative anger" and moved his family out of the capital, it seems that he can't stand the humiliation, and it should be instructed by the masters.
Now the Great Sui and Dali have formed the highest rank of the mountain alliance, one side to the mountain cliff academy is located, the dragon vein royal qi gathered in the Donghua Mountain, the other side to the latest dynasty Beiyue Piyun Mountain as the mountain alliance sacrifice to the heavens and the earth. It seems that everyone is happy, Da Sui does not have to fight hard with Da Li's iron cavalry, and has won a good opportunity to recuperate for more than 100 years, but it is just to cede Huang Tingguo's subordinates, while Da Li can preserve his strength and go south with all his might, and he has reached the border of the Zhu Ying Dynasty.
But behind the peace and quietness, the Dali Song family and the Da Sui Gao family naturally have their own thoughts.
Especially after the death of Emperor Song Zhengol, even if the center of Dali is secret, I believe that the Great Sui side may have been aware of it, so it will be ready to move.
Once Da Li and Da Sui caught fire in the backyard at the same time, coupled with the sudden force of Guanhu Academy and Zhu Ying Dynasty, Da Li's seemingly good chess game will be slaughtered by Da Long in an instant, and the entire northern territory that will be trampled and crushed by Da Li Iron Horse will be trampled and crushed by Da Li Iron Horse at that time.
Cui Dongshan's trip to Wei Xian frankly has no purpose, and it varies from time to time, whether it is to provoke a killing, or to use it as a bait, it only depends on how Cai Jingshen responds.
Wei Xian didn't dare to say that Cui Dongshan would definitely be able to win over those behind-the-scenes mountaintop figures.
But a Cai Jingshen is definitely not a problem, and he will only be toyed with and applauded by Cui Dongshan.
That's why Wei Xian has the saying that birds and fish are greedy for bait.
Cui Dongshan shook his head, Cui Dongshan stretched out his fingers and put his fingers together, and wrote the same sixteen words in the air.
The tiger is humble, and there will be a blow. The raccoon shrinks its body, and there will be a take.
Wei Xian frowned and said, "Da Sui really wants to tear up the covenant and make a desperate bet, do you want to replace Da Li?"
Cui Dongshan laughed and pointed at himself.
Wei Xian was stunned and clasped his fists, "The national teacher is far-sighted and very capable. ”
Cui Dongshan complained a little, "Just call Mr. Cui in the future, a national teacher, I always feel that you, the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, are taking advantage of me." ”
Wei Xian sighed: "Little Nanyuan, but in the land of several states, there were also immortals at the beginning, leaving only a few words, so I ordered the Nanyuan country to go into the mountains to seek hidden and go to the sea to visit immortals, but if you don't really come to Haoran World, you still can't imagine the real size of the world." ”
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "There is a very powerful scholar in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, who once sighed with a drop in the sea and a mustard seed on the land, and if there is a chance in the future, I will take you to meet him, and then you will be a frog at the bottom of the well, which is very appropriate." ”
Cui Dongshan held the handle of the chair with both hands, shook it, and the chair began to "move", and Cui Dongshan was like riding a horse bumpy, which looked extremely funny.
It's just that Wei Xian has been getting along with Cui Dongshan day and night for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to it, and in dealing with this matter, Wei Xian and Yu Lu have to adapt far earlier than thank you.
This is probably the heart of the emperor and the crown prince.
Cui Dongshan said slowly: "I told you the answer, anyway, the people behind the scenes of Da Sui and Da Li are competing for the backhand, whether Cai Feng is a pawn or not, as well as Cai Jingshen and others, whether they surrender or not, they can't set off the storm, so the reason why I stay in the state city and don't go to the capital academy is actually not as complicated as you think." My husband is most distressed about the little treasure bottle, Mao Xiaodong is a person who can't hide his words, he will definitely tell him about the disgraceful conspiracy of Da Sui, I will bump into it at this time, and I will definitely be angry and scold me for not doing my job. ”
"If I tell my husband that the great cause of the society is even more unpleasant, maybe I won't even be able to do it as a student. But things still have to be done, I can't say that sir, you can rest assured, the children of Li Huai in the vase, must be fine, Mr. is now more and more complete, from the order of the original intention, to the final goal, and the choice of the road during the period, there is a rough prototype, my set of more cold-blooded philistine wording, to deal with, very difficult. ”
"So it's better for me to hide here, make up for my mistakes, come up with tangible results, help cut off some contacts, and then go to the academy to admit punishment, the big deal is to be beaten, it's better than letting Mr. fall into the knot, then I'll be finished." Once he is determined to have bad intentions, it is difficult for the gods to be saved, and even Lao Xiucai comes forward to intercede, which may not work. ”
Wei Xian pondered for a moment and was about to speak.
Cui Dongshan, who had already moved to the window with a chair, turned his back to Wei Xian and waved his hand, "You Wei Xian are not qualified to comment on the entanglement between me and Mr. for the time being, so watch more and talk less." ”
Cui Dongshan muttered: "Longquan County Guard Wu Yuan, Huang Tingguo Wei Li, Qingluan Guo Liu Qingfeng, Dadu Governor Wei Liang, and you Wei Xian, all of them are me...... The good seedlings in our phases, among them, you and Wei Liang have the highest starting point, but what the future will do depends on your own ability. Wei Liang didn't talk about him, Guyun Yehe, he was not a chess piece in the real sense, and he belonged to the complementary avenues, but Wu Yuan and Liu Qingfeng were carefully cultivated by him, and you and Wei Li were selected by me, and the four of you will come to the ring for us in the future. ”
said something cloudy, Wei Xian silently remembered it in his heart.
Cui Dongshan suddenly slapped the chair handle, "Shi Rou, that stupid thing, I guess I don't know until now, the sentence on the origami in the bag, but my heartfelt words, sincere feelings, blood and tears, are the most precious experience of a person who has come over." The next time I see her in the academy, if she doesn't grow up at all, see how I clean her up! Hmph, Du Mao's immortal relics don't need to eat, drink, and sleep, so she can endure the nausea, I will ask her to eat, drink, and take a bath at that time, and do it a few times at once! I also want her to know what a real man is!"
Wei Xian said goodbye and left.
Cui Dongshan waved his sleeves and removed the thunder pool prohibition with a circle of golden light.
Wei Xian sincerely admired and respected this person.
Admiration, lies in the fact that Dali can have today's general trend, from a small vassal country of the Lu Dynasty, in less than a hundred years, it can have this atmosphere, which is made out of nothing.
But these are not enough to make Wei Xian feel in awe of the national teacher Cui Yun, who was thinking hard about how to defend the country when he was fighting the world.
Wei Xian felt that this was the real game of chess.
After Wei Xian left, Cui Dongshan shook his wrist, took the pot of wine on the table into his hand, and drank in small sips.
During the ups and downs of his travels, he has seen too many people and things, read more books, and seen countless mountains and rivers.
In the thrilling battle between March and Fourth, there was an inconspicuous civil official who lived and died, and there was a sentence that no one took to heart, but it has always moved Cui Yun and remembered it to this day.
"Heaven and earth give life, and there must be death in life. In the spring and autumn of the grass and trees, there will be withering in glory, this is the principle of heaven! You qi practitioners who ignore the law and ignore people's lives, and regard the people as ants on the mountain immortals, how different are you from the demon clan?!"
Cui Dongshan twisted the wine pot with his fingers, leaned back in the chair, muttered to himself, his voice was as subtle as a mosquito and a fly, and he was intermittent: "I used to be that immortal, drinking the spring water of the Heavenly Court God, and the colored clouds in the White Emperor City...... I look at the iron-faced transverse waves, and I am not happy...... Penniless, the meal is full of dew, and the cool breeze is full. Zhang Lantern Xingjiu, can be defeated by wind, rain, thunder and lightning...... Mr. drunk and shook his head, raised the empty glass, and asked who was the first in the hearts of the people, the boy was not right, and he fell asleep with his head down, but he heard the chirping of insects on the four walls, and the sound of Mr. was harmonious...... Mr. stripped and dressed the boy, stumbled, fell and broke into the house, sat on the ground and slept, snoring like thunder, a thousand dreams in the world......"
Cui Dongshan suddenly reached out and scratched his cheek, "It's not interesting, change one, change what?" Well, there is!"
Began to hum an unknown folk song, "A toad with a mouth, two toads with four legs, crackling and jumping into the water, the toad does not draft, the year of peace, the toad does not draft, the year of peace does not drink, the year of peace ......"
————
The Cai family's mansion in the capital.
The carriages and horses quietly, the friends gathered, and the sages came.
Cai Feng, who is now serving in Guozijian, is already a handsome figure.
I never thought that tonight, among the seven or eight people, Cai Feng was just the one with the lowest official position.
Guo Xin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Tao Ying, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, Miao Ren, the general of Longniu after the founding of the country, and Song Shan, the deputy commander of the Yamen of the infantry army who was in charge of the security of the capital......
Most of them are young and strong officials in the capital of the Great Sui, and they are not very old. The elder is like a clay vulture, but he is only forty-five years old.
Cai Feng is a tall and handsome young man, with a lofty instrument, even in the face of these high-ranking officials, he still does not lose his momentum.
This is not only self-reliance, but also related to the surname of this mansion. Cai Jingshen, the ancestor of the Cai family, even if he becomes a laughing stock again, he is also an old immortal who has sheltered the capital of the Great Sui for many years.
Everyone is drinking tea or drinking, and they have already planned well, and it is very likely that the future trend of the Great Sui, and even the future trend of the entire Aquarius Continent, will be decided in this Cai Mansion tonight.
Half a year later, His Majesty the Emperor will hold a banquet, and before and after this, you can do anything!
Cai Feng got up and said loudly: "Read the books of the sages hard, the whole mountain and the river, the people are not humiliated, protect the country's surname, and not be overridden by foreign surnames, my generation of scholars, sacrificing their lives for righteousness, is at this time!"
Another new champion who was still in the Hanlin Academy, suddenly got up, threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, smashed it, and said in a deep voice: "There are no two fathers for sons, and there are no two kings for ministers." Most of the 36 founding generals of the Great Sui Dynasty were born as Confucian scholars!"
The crowd is indignant and generous.
Someone raised his arms and shouted, "Swear to kill Wen Demon Mao Xiaodong!"
Someone burst into tears, and slapped the chair handle again and again with his palm, "How can I, the Great Sui, grovel to the barbarian Song clan, cut the land and sue for peace, and be defeated without a fight, which is a great shame!"
The crowd dispersed.
Cai Feng didn't see anyone off, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.
Although Song Shan has already arranged it, and the night curfew near Cai's house has been cleaned up, all of them are the henchmen and lieutenants of the deputy commander of the infantry army, but it is better to be careful.
Cai Feng was left alone in the lonely banquet hall, and the smell of wine was still permeating.
Cai Feng's eyes were hot.
Turning the tide of the tide, who else is Cai Fengqi?!
Miao Ren and the new champion Lang Zhangdai left in a carriage.
The two sat opposite each other in the carriage.
Miao Ren looked at the young man with a calm expression, and felt a little self-deprecating in his heart, he was not as calm as a junior at the age of a weak crown, worthy of being a young man known as the prime minister, and the future gentleman of the Mountain Cliff Academy, Li Changying, Nanxi Chu Dong, plus a Cai Feng, known as the four spirits of the capital, is the leader of the younger generation of the Great Sui, in addition to the four kui including Pan Yuanchun, the son of the late general Pan Maozhen, but these are the seed brothers, after the youngest Pan Yuanchun left the academy to join the army at the border, the four kui were all in the army.
These four spirits and four kui, a total of eight people, after the meritorious deeds of the lords, such as Chu Tong Pan Yuanchun, there are four people. Striving for the Hanmen Shu clan, there are also four people, such as Zhang Dai and Li Changying.
Miao Ren knew that there were as many as three people who were involved in this plan only these young people who had a bright future and were destined to have a smooth career.
Therefore, Miao Ren felt that all the heroic spirits of the Great Sui would protect them, and they were done.
Miao Ren lifted the curtain and looked out, the night was deep, and it was still a long time before dawn.
————
On the way back, Chen Ping'an was still thinking about what Lin Shouyi said, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel that he had done anything worthy of Lin Shouyi's gratitude.
If it is Li Baohua and Li Huai's heart, Chen Ping'an is not strange at all, Xiaoma,
But Lin Shouyi is different, probably because of his sensitive background, he has always been delicate, very assertive, and ambitious, so he set foot on the road of cultivation early on the way to study, Chen Ping'an is not surprised.
Zhu Yong's intuition was sharp, and he didn't go straight back to his guest house, but followed Chen Ping'an into the house and asked softly, "Is there a situation?"
The nominal master and servant have fought to the death one after another, and have developed a tacit understanding.
Chen Ping'an did not hide it from Zhu Yong, and after pouring two bowls of wine, he nodded: "Lord Maoshan told me that some people in the capital of the Great Sui have recently targeted the students of the academy, hoping that during the critical period when the Emperor of the Great Sui held a banquet for thousands of people, there will be envoys from the Great Sui to participate in the grand event. In the past two years, the government and the opposition of the Great Sui Dynasty, for Emperor Gao's initiative to bow down to the barbarian Dali in his eyes, he was already holding back an evil fire, from the humiliated civil and military generals, to the indignant Shilin literary circle, and then to the bewildered common people, as long as there is an opportunity, it will ......"
Zhu Yong continued: "The spark is burning the plain, and it is out of control, and the Great Sui will have no way back, even the Emperor Gao will be forced to tear up the Mountain Alliance." ”
Chen Ping'an said indifferently: "These major events in the court, I understand that I don't care, I don't care, I don't want to be in his position, I don't want to be in his position, and I don't want to be in the same way as we walk the rivers and lakes to bear life and death, but it involves the treasure bottle ...... them."
Chen Ping'an drank all the wine in the bowl and stopped talking.
Zhu Yong was slightly surprised.
It's so heavy and murderous.
In the heart lake, a fierce aura stirred up.
Zhu Yong wanted to speak and stopped.
Chen Ping'an's face was indifferent, "I know." ”
Chen Ping'an poured a bowl of wine, "The more I practice swords, the more I am affected by the sword immortal Wei Jin who split the night with a sword, as well as the killing of the Quartet in Jiaolonggou left and right, I am a timid person, and I dare not do what I want, but then I was seriously injured by Du Mao's sword-swallowing boat, and then later, when I met the enemy Li Baozhen, I became more and more aware that there was something wrong with my state of mind." It is even possible that it has a lot to do with the breaking of the natal porcelain when I was at the earliest, in short, it is very troublesome. ”
Zhu Yong said worriedly: "How should the young master deal with it?" This seems to involve a knot in the heart...... Or is it the inner demon of a cultivator?"
Chen Ping'an lifted the wine bowl, touched it with Zhu Yong, and said with a smile: "Read more." ”
Seeing Zhu Yong's unbelievable expression, Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly: "I'm not joking with you. ”
Zhu Yong took a sip of wine and shook his head.
If this is not a joke, there is still a joke in the world?
Chen Ping'an said softly: "Before I arrived at Donghuashan Academy, I actually began to read the books of precision sages intentionally or unintentionally. It is because I found that only reading Confucian books, it seems to be not completely consistent with some of my inexplicable intentions, and the effect is not great, so under the suggestion of Cui Dongshan, I want to verify the Confucian moral articles and the fundamental knowledge of Legalism, and verify each other......”
Chen Ping'an began to brew words.
Zhu Yong said tentatively: "Draw your sword and look around. ”
Chen Ping'an smiled: "It means a little bit." Just show me...... I'm not afraid of someone standing in the distance, or in a high place, no matter how far and high. ”
Chen Ping'an wrote lightly on the desktop with his fingers, and said slowly: "The sage has clouds: do what you want from your heart, and do not exceed the rules." This is the right medicine. ”
Zhu Yong held the wine bowl, and always felt that it was not good to drink, and it was not good not to drink.
Chen Ping'an laughed and said, "Do you need a reason to drink?"
The two of them drank the wine in their bowls.
Chen Ping'an felt that since the martial arts experience, the enemy of life and death, can be the most beneficial to cultivation, so can he practice qi warriors by himself, so as to temper his mind, make fun in suffering, and use it as a dragon slaying platform for practice?
Just like when he was in Zhongyue in the Kingdom of Chengtian, on the ferry boat, Zhu Yong handed a punch to Pei Qian and dodged Pei Qian.
Shi Rou is not a pure martial artist, and he doesn't know what the magic is about Pei Qian's "instinct" and breaking through the realm to dodge a punch in the four realms.
Zhu Yong is also not a cultivator, and he doesn't understand the horror of the earth immortals who look at the demons in his heart like a mortal enemy, so he doesn't understand how high Chen Ping'an's realm is.
Drunk.
Zhu Yong began to habitually calculate, and said: "Listen to Shi Rou, last time on the wall of the Lion Garden, the young master almost fought with Liu Boqi, the girl in the master's knife room, and almost pulled out the long sword behind his back, but Shi Rou was behind you, and found that even if the young master only held the hilt of the sword, his palm was burned and injured afterwards?
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "No way, the half-immortal soldiers are so difficult to serve." ”
Zhu Yong's face was puzzled.
Regarding the battle between the lotus blessed land and Ding Ying, Chen Ping'an once said carefully, which can be regarded as a chess game review between the master and servant.
Chen Ping'an explained: "The 'Changqi' sword I told you before, although it has a higher rank, was broken by the old sword immortal to break most of the prohibitions, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pull out that sword until I die, and the old dragon city Fu family will make amends." Sword Immortal', on the one hand, they are watching the show, knowing that sending me means that the so-called half-immortal soldiers for a long time are just chicken ribs, and they are also in line with the rules, they help open all the prohibitions, which means that this Sword Immortal Sword, just like a house, directly lost the door key, fell into the hands of me Chen Ping'an, can be used, if it accidentally falls into the hands of others, you can freely enter and exit the mansion, but it is a deliberate move. ”
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword immortal on the bed, "I have been using the method of small refining to peel off those secret art prohibitions, and the progress is slow, I probably need to enter the Seven Realms of Martial Arts to break all the prohibitions one by one, and use them freely, like an arm and a finger." If you pull it out now, you will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and it is best not to use it as a last resort. ”
Zhu Yong suddenly took a sip of wine, and then said slowly: "Li Baohua, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, Yu Lu, thank you." All five are from Dali. The assassination of Yu Lu is of little significance, thank you has already made your identity clear, you are a remnant of the Lu family, although you were a cultivator genius in the mansion of the first great immortal family of the Lu family, but this identity determines that the weight of thank you is not enough. And the first three, all from Lizhu Dongtian, is Mr. Qi's careful teaching in the past years of the disciples, among which the best identity of the small treasure bottle and Li Huai, a family ancestor is already Da Li to worship Yuan Ying, a father is the end of the great master, any one has a problem, Da Li will not give up, one is unwilling, one is not dare. ”
Chen Ping'an didn't mention Li Xisheng to Zhu Yong, so Zhu Yong gave "don't dare" to Li Huai, whose father is Li Er.
When Li Xisheng was in Mud Bottle Lane, he used the Six Realms Qi Cultivator as a confronting a Nine Realm Sword Cultivator who was born with a sword embryo, and his defense was not leaky, and he did not fall behind at all.
After that, draw a talisman on the Luoluo Mangosteen Building, and the words are ten thousand, which makes the whole Luoluo Mountain sink.
None of this matters.
For Chen Ping'an.
The safety of Li Baohua itself is the most important.
Chen Ping'an poured another bowl of wine for Zhu Yong, "How do you feel that if you follow me, you won't have a stable day?"
Zhu Yong drank a big gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Young Master, if you had entered the lotus blessed land earlier and met the old slave at the most beautiful time, you would not have said so. ”
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "At that time, I was able to win against Ding Ying, and it also had something to do with his blind trust, if I met you who didn't pay attention to the grandmaster's demeanor, it is estimated that I would die." ”
Zhu Yong hurriedly finished drinking the wine in the bowl, licked his face and stretched out the wine bowl, "Just say this to the young master, the old slave should drink one more bowl of punishment wine." ”
Chen Ping'an really poured another bowl of wine for Zhu Yong, and felt a little, "I hope that you and I, whether it is ten years or a hundred years, can often have such opportunities to drink." ”
Zhu Yong grinned: "What's so difficult about this?"
Chen Ping'an drank a lot of wine tonight, which was far more than usual.
After the two separated, Chen Ping'an went to Mao Xiaodong's study, and they couldn't talk too much about refining the natal object.
In the night.
Chen Ping'an walked alone.
————
Before the lights go out.
Pei Qian said with a smile: "Sister Aquarius, I don't sleep very well. ”
Li Baohua thought about it, and went to move the small book mountain that occupied a bed and stacked it on top of another small book mountain.
The two of them were lying in their respective futons, Li Baohua lay upright, and after saying the word "sleep", they fell asleep in an instant.
Pei Qian tossed and turned cautiously, and fell asleep in a daze very late.
When I woke up the next day, I found myself like a rice dumpling, wrapped in a warm futon with a quilt cushion. Pei Qian turned his head to see that Li Baohua's futon was neatly packed up, like a tofu block cut out of a knife, Pei Qian thought of the casual pot of bedding every time he cleaned up, thought about it, felt a little guilty, and then slept comfortably again. Take care of your spirits, and only today can you continue to fool that stupid Li Huai and the two dumber guys than Li Huai.
As for wrestling with Li Baohua, Pei Qian felt that when he was as old as Li Baohua, let's talk about it, anyway, he was young, and it was not a shame to lose to Li Baohua.
Next year, she will be twelve years old, and Li Baohua will be thirteen years old, so naturally she is still one year older than her, and Pei Qian doesn't care. Next year, next year, so much, it's pretty good.
After Li Baohua got up, he went to find Chen Ping'an early in the morning, and there was no one in the guest house, so he rushed to the courtyard of the master of Maoshan Mountain.
Wait at the door.
Mao Xiaodong, as a Confucian sage sitting in the academy, can watch the fire in the academy as long as he wants, so he had to tell Chen Ping'an that Li Baohua was waiting outside.
Chen Ping'an left the study and went to take Li Baohua back to the study, and on the way he said that he would visit the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, but he couldn't do it today.
Li Baohua learned that Chen Ping'an would stay in the academy for at least a month, so he was not in a hurry, so he thought about going to some places he hadn't been to today, otherwise he would bring Pei Qian first, but Chen Ping'an suggested that he should take Pei Qian to finish the academy today, and take Pei Qian to take Pei Qian to take a look at the famous places in Donghua Mountain, such as the Confucius Hall, the Library Building and the Flying Bird Pavilion. Li Baohua thought it was okay, and without waiting to walk to the study, he ran away in a hurry, saying that he wanted to accompany Pei Qian to breakfast.
Mao Xiaodong said with a smile: "I have to worry about being assassinated when I go out, but I can't bear to disappoint Li Baohua, don't you think it's troublesome?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "It's very hesitant." ”
Mao Xiaodong asked: "Don't ask, do I know which Great Sui tycoons and magnates are planning this?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head, "Even if it is this academy, it is still the land of the Great Sui after all." ”
"The current priority is still your refining. ”
Mao Xiaodong waved his hand, "Cui Dongshan is full of dung, but there is a saying that is quite human, where our academy stands, our life and academic skills are only in one line." ”
Mao Xiaodong stood up and walked slowly, "Buddhism says that letting go of attachment, all kinds of suffering in this life, there will be no suffering, it is a great freedom. Taoism pursues purity, suffering is like the flying boat that crosses the void, and avoiding the world early is a kind of true leisure. Only we Confucianism, facing difficulties, people in the world are suffering in this life, do not escape or avoid, on the road, a sage book, like a lantern to guide people.
Chen Ping'an couldn't help but whispered: "Although tens of millions of people are gone. ”
Mao Xiaodong stopped, thought it was true, and sighed: "That's right!"
————
However, in two hours, Li Baohua took Pei Qian to finish a trip to the academy, if it wasn't for Pei Qian's patient explanation, Li Baohua could solve it in an hour.
In the end, Li Baohua also took the towering tree to the top of the East Mountain, climbed the branches one after the other, took Pei Qian to look high into the distance, and then stretched out his finger to tell Pei Qian what fun and delicious food there are in the capital of the Great Sui...... The entire capital is the courtyard of her home.
Pei Qian peeked at Li Baohua.
It is conceivable that the sister of the treasure bottle in a red skirt or a red cotton jacket has been standing here all these years, waiting for the scene of the little uncle.
The two sat on the branches, Li Baohua took out a red towel, and after opening it, there were two soft glutinous pastries, and each person nibbled on one by one.
Pei Qian said that she could go shopping by herself in the afternoon.
Li Baohua nodded in agreement, saying that in the afternoon, there was an old master outside the academy, who had a great reputation, and it was said that he had a bigger tone, and he wanted to come to the academy to give a lecture, which was the exhortation of a certain Confucian classic.
Pei Qian, who didn't even know what the reprimands were, asked timidly, "Sister Aquarius, do you understand?"
Li Baohua nodded and shook his head again: "The books I copied, in fact, all of them are said, but I have a lot of questions that I don't understand, and the gentlemen of the academy either persuade me not to be too ambitious, saying that the Li Changying in the academy came to ask about it, and now he told me, I don't understand, but I don't understand it very well, I didn't say it, how do I know that I don't understand, forget it, they are masters, I can't say this, these words, I can only hold back and roll in my stomach." Either there are still some masters, and he will not be like Mr. Qi anyway, and he will always give me an answer every time. He won't be like Uncle Xiao, who will say what he knows, and tell me bluntly that he doesn't understand if he doesn't know. So I like to often go to the academy to run, you probably don't know, our academy, the earliest mountain master, is to teach me, Li Huai and Lin Shouyi to learn Mr. Qi, he said that all knowledge still has to fall on a 'line' word, how to solve the word line, there are two meanings, one is to travel thousands of miles, increase knowledge, the other is to integrate and understand, with what I have learned, to cultivate the Qi family to govern the country and level the world, I am still young now, I can only run more. ”
When he said this, Pei Qian found that Li Baohua frowned a little.
Pei Qian sighed sincerely: "Sister Aquarius, you think so much. ”
Li Baohua saw that Pei Qian hadn't finished eating the pastry yet, like a little mouse gnawing corn, so he laughed and patted Pei Qian on the shoulder, "Uncle Xiao thinks a lot." ”
Li Baohua shook his feet and said seriously: "Cui Dongshan once said that one day, my little uncle will meet his favorite girl, and I can only rank second in my little uncle's heart, maybe one day in the future, I will also meet someone I like more, and my little uncle will also be second in my heart." I think Cui Dongshan is talking nonsense, Uncle Xiao has a girl he likes, I don't mind, but how can I like others more than Uncle Xiao, right, Pei Qian?"
Pei Qian nodded hurriedly.
Li Baohua was very satisfied with Pei Qian's attitude, patted her shoulder, and said earnestly: "In the future, follow Uncle Xiao to travel through the rivers and lakes, you have to make persistent efforts and be more sensible, it's okay to be naughty, but don't always be naughty, let Uncle Xiao work hard, my Uncle Xiao, your master, didn't fall from the sky." Uncle Xiao will also have troubles, and there are sad things that need to be drowned out by wine, so you have to be sensible, can you do it? You see that Uncle Xiao didn't drink alcohol back then, but now he has drunk, which means that you, a great disciple of the mountain, have not done enough, right?"
Pei Qian still nodded, convinced.
Regarding the small silver gourd and narrow knife auspicious charm lent to him, Li Baohua said what his master Chen Ping'an and Zhong Kui said at the beginning, and the general meaning was exactly the same.
At that moment, Pei Qian admitted that there was a reason for Li Baohua to call Chen Ping'an a junior uncle.
The two slipped down the tree one after the other.
Li Baohua wanted to listen to the lecture of the foreign master, and rushed away, among the group of old masters and young academy students, Li Baohua was undoubtedly the youngest, and a touch of bright red, extremely dazzling.
Pei Qian stepped on the point where Li Huai and the three of them got out of class and went to their school.
The three of them are still walking together.
Liu Guan asked: "Ma Lian, tell me, if someone in the family is an official and gets the holy decree, is it really like what Pei Qian said, just by placing it, there is so much attention?"
Ma Lian nodded vigorously, "There are some small discrepancies, but in general they are exactly what she said." ”
"And Pei Qian said that the stepping bed she slept on when she was a child is really so big that it can put so many messy things?"
Ma Lian still nodded, "Yes, my sister has one!"
Liu Guan said helplessly: "Well, it's really a noble princess! Then the next time we meet, how will we salute? Is it enough to make a big bow to her? You can't kneel and kowtow, right?"
Ma Lian looked embarrassed: "His Majesty the Emperor and the princess have been to my house, but I was too young at that time to have no impression at all." ”
Li Huai said happily: "What's wrong with Her Royal Highness the Princess, she is not Chen Ping'an's apprentice, it's okay, when I see her, just like me, everyone should be a meeting in the rivers and lakes, sit on an equal footing, and give up your hands." ”
Liu nodded and said: "This is good, anyway, she herself said that she is from the rivers and lakes, so we don't have to lose our share." ”
I saw Pei Qian at the door.
The three of them clasped their hands together.
Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and returned the salute with a fist.
I entered the school house.
Pei Qian soon began to paint a vivid description of a conflict between the three of them.
A group of scissor thieves who don't know whether they are alive or dead, rushing out from both sides of the grass, dozens of big men, knives, guns, sticks, and eighteen kinds of weapons.
The first person, holding a Xuanhua big axe, raised his arm and pointed directly at my master with the axe blade, and shouted, his voice was as loud as a thunderbolt in a sunny day, "I opened this road, if I want to pass from here, I will leave to buy life and money!"
Ma Lian nodded.
Liu Guan said with a smile: "Anyway, with your master's protection, it's just a thief, what are you afraid of." ”
Pei Qian clasped his hands around his chest and glanced at Liu Guan, "My master asked rhetorically, if you don't pay for it, what if you don't pay it? Don't you know, what a heroic demeanor my master was at that time, the mountain breeze was blowing, even if my master didn't move, he already had the grandmaster style of 'taking the head of a general in the army like a bag', looking at those vast bandits, it was simply ...... Such juniors, local chickens and dogs, sell Seoul!"
Pei Qian couldn't help admiring himself in his heart, those few books about the romance of the battlefield and the rivers and lakes, if they really didn't read it in vain, it would come in handy at this time.
Liu Guan said impatiently: "Your master's power, we have heard a lot, the fist is unparalleled, the swordsmanship is invincible, both the sword immortal and the martial arts master, I know everything, I just want to know how the next situation will develop? Is it a bloody battle?"
Pei Qian glared and said: "Do you think that the rivers and lakes are only reckless and vulgar fighting, killing and killing? The people of the rivers and lakes, whether they are heroes in the green forest or gentlemen on the beams, no matter how high or low they are cultivated, they are all living people! And no one is stupid!"
Liu Guan was reprimanded, but he did not return the favor for the first time.
Pei Qian jumped off the stool and stepped aside, "The big thief who was the leader was furious, lifted a giant axe weighing seventy or eighty pounds, became angry, and asked my master, 'Boy, are you tired of living?!, don't you want to live anymore?'"
Pei Qian trotted a few steps, turned around and said, "I just heard my master Yun Danfeng say one word lightly, think." For a while, the situation changed, and the thieves were clamoring and violent. ”
Liu Guan and Ma Lian listened attentively.
Li Huai swallowed melon seeds.
He has seen the world with Chen Ping'an, and he has even dealt with the ghost of the wedding dress, a group of little thieves, and he Li Huai still doesn't pay attention to it.
Pei Qian ran forward again, pretending to have a hideous face, turned around and said, "Just listen to that guy, good boy, do you know how to write dead words?!"
Pei Qian ran back the same way, "My master said two words again, I know." ”
Then Pei Qian immediately used his fingers as a pen, wrote a dead word in the air, and turned his head to the three people: "I did such an action at that time, how about it?"
Ma Lian's eyes were glazed.
Liu Guan clapped his hands and applauded.
Pei Qian walked to the table, Ma Lian had prepared tea before, she took a sip, moistened her throat, and continued: "That gang of cockroaches was so angry that they screamed, beating their chests and feet, like a drum on the battlefield, the leader of the man, roared angrily towards the sky, his eyes were bigger than copper bells, and he gave orders to the minions who accepted them, 'Brothers, copy the guy, hack this guy who likes to pretend to be garlic!, especially the little girl with the wrong sword at her waist, don't look at her young age, but look at the old rivers and lakes, her cultivation is unfathomable, and she should not be underestimated......"
Pei Qian suddenly stopped "storytelling".
It turned out that a warm hand was pressed on his head.
Pei Qian turned his head and smiled stupidly, "Master, you're here, I'm ...... with Li Huai and them."
Pei Qian wanted to honestly confess that he was talking nonsense.
I didn't think that Chen Ping'an had already smiled and said: "Okay, Li Huai, they are still students of the academy, you don't have to talk too much about these things in the future, if you can in the future, you will become friends, you can study with them again when Li Huai, Liu Guan and Ma Lian are on a study tour, and then you can talk to the three of them in detail." ”
Pei Qian hummed heavily, elated.
Chen Ping'an asked Li Huai to have dinner with his friends first, and then went back to the guest house to find him, while Chen Ping'an took Pei Qian to find Li Baohua.
On the way, Chen Ping'an reminded in a low voice: "If you really have the opportunity to study with Li Huai and the three of you in the future, remember one thing, at that time, how much martial arts cultivation you have, how many deep and shallow rivers and lakes you have traveled, you must make it clear to them, you can't blindly brag about yourself, take care of everything, and give them the mistaken so-called rivers and lakes, but so, then it will be easy to have trouble, remember?"
Pei Qian nodded and said, "Remember!"
Chen Ping'an said: "You have to take it to heart." ”
Pei Qian grinned and said, "When I turn around, I will not miss a word on the bamboo slip!"
Chen Ping'an walked on a secluded academy path, felt something, and said softly: "Why do you want to walk the rivers and lakes, not only to chase those beautiful scenery, but also to practice boxing and martial arts to make yourself stronger." I also want to see more people who are better than myself. ”
"Like Master, I saw the hungry Zhang Shanfeng on the Jiao Mountain ferry, Xu Yuanxia who rushed into the ghost house with a chivalrous and heroic spirit, the old sword saint of the Combing Water Country who appeared in the dilapidated ancient temple, the ghostly and spirited couple who seemed terrible but loved each other, Fan Er of the Old Dragon City, and Liu Youzhou of the Upside Down Mountain Ape Mansion...... Master will also have such and such shame, admiration and envy, and even occasionally some jealousy. ”
Pei Qian was surprised: "Master will still be like this?"
Chen Ping'an rubbed his little head, "Do you think?" Master also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also has a lot of stinky problems, and there are never fewer people who don't like and are not optimistic about Master. It's just that if you see a better person, you can't look at it in vain, you must look up to the mountains, although you can't get there, you can't go to it, and you can't look for it......"
Pei Qian's pace is getting slower and slower.
After Chen Ping'an walked more than ten steps, he turned his head and saw the little black charcoal girl standing in place without moving, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Pei Qian laughed, "Sister Aquarius, she said that her little uncle didn't fall from the sky, but I think that the master fell from the sky back then. ”
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Do you have the ability to talk to your Aquarius sister?"
Pei Qian hurriedly ran towards Chen Ping'an, "I'm not stupid!"
I looked at Master's back earlier.
Pei Qian suddenly felt a little sentimental.
Walking through mountains and rivers, a long journey.
They once saw a large pile of tumbling stones on the official road of the mountain road in heavy rain and mud.
Pei Qian felt that it was enough to bypass it.
But the Master would stop in the heavy rain and move the stones off the road.
The black rain curtain, the master dressed in white, was busy.
They also stopped by a long-maintained wooden bridge in the Tea Horse Road, and the master stupidly looked at the wooden bridge there for a long time, and then ran to the mountains alone, cut down a large log and carried it back, split it into wooden planks, lost the firewood knife and replaced it with a hammer, and sewed the bridge.
