The green bamboo suddenly straightened, and it turned out that Ah Liang jumped to the ground, stretched out his hand to pull the Qidun Mountain Master up, and said with a smile: "My gambling is not good, but your gambling luck is very good." ”

The young land's face was snow-white, and he frowned, although he said that he had survived the rest of his life, and finally saved the only remaining half of the bamboo forest, but when he saw the white python whose head was broken off in the distance, the young land couldn't help but have mixed feelings, for hundreds of years, it has been living next to each other, although it is a bad neighbor, friction is constant, but it is generally safe, at least there has never been a life-and-death fight, today the snake python should have been about to embark on the Yangguan Avenue of cultivation, but at this time, he was blown up with a sharp sword qi, and the shock brought to him was so great that it can be imagined.

The young land sighed, dejectedly, and said softly: "Just as the predecessors thought, a philistine villain like me is a lowly person who does not go to the house for three days, but now it is really full of beatings, and I hope that Ah Liang's predecessors pity the poor villain, I am really scared, and I don't have the slightest heart, and then Ah Liang's predecessors just speak, and the villain will definitely do it." ”

Ah Liang didn't make a fool of himself, looked down at the empty green bamboo scabbard, nodded and said, "You choose a better old bamboo, I want to change it to a bamboo knife, and it will be a gift from your friend." And then there are so many bamboos that have fallen on the ground inexplicably, and there are a lot of them, and it's not good to waste them. ”

The corners of the land lord Wei Yan's mouth twitched, and he only dared to slander in his heart, Ah Liang, you are called a lost conscience, Ah Liang, your uncle's goodness.

Ah Liang rubbed his chin, "My friend made a loss-making deal, and indirectly helped you win half of the bamboo forest, be kind, and repay the favor if you have kindness, what do you think?"

Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "It should be so, it is justified." ”

Chen Ping'an ran to the white python's corpse with half a firewood knife, and cut off the remaining flying wings, which were crystal clear, the same length as a human arm, and when touched in his hand, it was as cold as snow, and under the sunlight, bursts of brilliance continued to flash. Ah Liang said in small talk before that the most valuable objects on this white python, except for the snake gall bladder, which is the wings, are priceless, and there is no market, and the rest of the python skin, tendons and bones and other things, although they are also rare and valuable, but compared to the preciousness of the first two, there is a world of difference.

Chen Ping'an tied the firewood knife around his waist and trotted all the way to the bamboo forest, only to see that the young land was bending over and squatting, and pulled out a green bamboo upside down with both hands.

After seeing the straw sandal boy with the "Golden Belt of Murder and Goods", the young land who was sweating profusely subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and then he gently put the green bamboo in his arms back into the soil, looked around, and finally selected a piece of green bamboo whip as thick as a child's arm, sighed, raised his head to look at Chen Ping'an, and asked with a far-fetched smile: "Can you lend me a firewood knife?"

Chen Ping'an approached and handed half of the firewood knife to the young land, who held the firewood knife in his hand, took a deep breath, cut off the bamboo whip, and handed it to Ah Liang, Ah Liang shook his head and smiled: "You make one according to the style of the bamboo knife I used to make, and when you turn around and leave the border of Qidun Mountain, give it to me together with the white donkey." ”

Wei Yan naturally didn't dare not agree, and when he returned the firewood knife to Chen Ping'an, he said with heartfelt emotion: "What a sharp blade." ”

Chen Ping'an took the firewood knife, thought about it, and said: "If you want it, I can give it to you, anyway, this half of the firewood knife is not suitable for opening the mountain and leading the way, and it is of no great use for me to hold it." ”

Wei Yan smiled dryly: "A gentleman does not take the favor of others. ”

Ah Liang smiled and said: "If you want it and are embarrassed to ask for it in vain, then you can buy it, Tong Su is not bullied, and it is fair to buy and sell, right?"

Wei Yan looked "suddenly realized", stood up and rubbed off the soil on his hands, and said with a smile to Chen Ping'an: " If you are a woodcutter who often enters the mountain, you will know that if a bamboo forest is too dense, it is not conducive to the growth of bamboo, and if it is dense, the bamboo forest can grow, so it must be cut down, and the really valuable part of this bamboo forest is the bamboo whip connected to the mountain root in the ground, and the bamboo pole on the ground. ”

The more the young land is talking, the smoother it gets," Now Ah Liang's predecessor's bamboo knife was cut by me, ashamed to say, I saw it from the first sight, I coveted half of the firewood knife in your hand, or I bamboo knife also do, the bamboo building is still built, the bamboo knife can be handed over to Ah Liang early, just a small bamboo building, I'm afraid it will be completed later, when the time comes for the black snake to go to Luoluo Mountain in Longquan County, I will accompany it, both to avoid it all the way north, cause any trouble, and at the same time let it carry these bamboos, I arrived at Luoluo Mountain, I will find a beautiful mountain and clear water, A place with pleasant scenery to build a bamboo building for you. ”

Chen Ping'an looked at Ah Liang, and the man in the hat explained with a smile: "There are ten most important immortal bamboos in the Zhuhai Cave Sky, bamboo has ten virtues, and the immortal bamboo corresponds to it, and the ancestors of this bamboo are the descendants of the 'Fenyong Bamboo'. ”

Wei Yan hurriedly echoed: "Yes, the bamboo forest here is the heir of the brave fairy bamboo, and the history books record that 'the power of the soldiers has been revitalized, such as breaking the bamboo, after a few sections, it will be solved', which is secretly in line with this meaning." Therefore, practicing in the bamboo building must be extremely nourishing to the soul. ”

Chen Ping'an was about to speak, Ah Liang stepped forward quickly, put his arm around the young man's shoulders and walked out of the bamboo forest, "It's hard to be gracious, the guest is as you go." ”

Chen Ping'an whispered: "The firewood knife hasn't been given to anyone yet." ”

Ah Liang said with a big grin: "Go back and give him the half of the blade in the back basket." ”

After that, the man with the hat did not forget to turn around and remind: "The gall of the white python that has not yet taken shape, don't want it, it's bloody, it's too scary, and it will be handed over to the black snake to swallow along with the python meat, so that even if you don't have a pair of flying wings, you can still make it grow for two or three hundred years. ”

Finally, Ah Liang stretched out his hand to volley the void and pointed to the young land that had lost his soul, "It's good to do it yourself." ”

The young land stood at the edge of the bamboo forest, looking at the backs of the two people, the mountain breeze in the forest, passing through the green trees and clusters of red flowers, with the refreshing fragrance of flowers and trees, the young man who looked as beautiful as a stunner, holding the green bamboo cane of the mountain monarch who symbolized his identity, his white clothes fluttering, his big sleeves fluttering, the previous shock, fear, anxiety and wandering, swept away with the breeze, and was replaced by a solemn solemnity consistent with the identity of the gods of a place.

He looked around and sighed softly, "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, but that's it." Thank you Ah Liang for your unintentional reminder to help me untie my heart knot and break the magic barrier. ”

Young Land closed his eyes, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "Since ancient times, the famous mountains have treated saints, so it doesn't matter if the saints don't come, I can devote myself to becoming holy." ”

When he opened his eyes, a pale gold earring appeared in the handsome man's ear, and the delicate ring swayed slightly with the mountain wind, setting off the young land like a mountain god.

The two returned to the waterhole the same way, different from the fast running when they came, at this time the two tacitly chose to take a walk and chat.

"Ah Liang, does the black snake really eat the remnants of the white python's corpse? Aren't they partners who have depended on each other for hundreds of years?"

"The black snake that aims to become a dragon, of course, has a mouth, not only the genus of the dragon, in fact, all the mountain spirits, ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts, all take food as the sky, but the dragon snake python that inhabits the mountains and forests, especially the cannibalism of the same kind, this is similar to the reason why a mountain does not allow two tigers, the reason why the black snake keeps the white python is to open the mind, the wisdom increases, and there is no idea of waiting for it to get married and then have a full meal. By the way, if you want to see the black snake devouring the white python, we can turn back. ”

"Forget it. ”

"Having said that, don't blame me for making an assertion for you, and promised the black snake to eat the python gall, since it will go to Luoluo Mountain to help you control your luck, then a python gall will be sold by you, no matter how high the price is, it is not as cost-effective as the black snake to become an ink Jiao earlier. ”

"I'm actually curious why you want to kill the white python, why don't you wait for me to stop it? Are you afraid that I, Ah Liang, will not be saved when I see death?"

"How is it possible, Ah Liang, I can trust you. ”

"What about you?"

"Ah Liang, before answering your question, I also want to know if you saw that I found ...... when I was sparring with Zhu He What are the three caves, and the truth inside them?"

"To tell the truth, I knew from the beginning that there were strange and mysterious things in those three trick points, but it was more embarrassing to say, even I couldn't see it really, I could only guess that it was a wisp of sword qi containing three kinds of Dao meaning, which three of them were specific, I didn't dare to be sure, of course, if I wanted to forcibly watch the scene inside the Qi Mansion, at the expense of harming your body and qi, it would not be difficult at all, but in that case, it would be very inferior, I, Ah Liang, as a peerless master, had the demeanor and bearing of a master. ”

"Understood. Ah Liang, do you know that there is a memorial arch in our town, and there are four plaques on it?"

"I knew that there was such a thing, Qi Jingchun mentioned it to me back then, but I didn't remember the content, I forgot it a long time ago. ”

"There is a plaque with four words written on it, don't ask for it. I have a peer next door who reads a lot, and he says that this is the Zen machine of Buddhism, which means to warn everyone to specialize in the Dharma and not to seek anything from those outside of the Dharma. I thought it was very reasonable at first, but then I burned charcoal on the mountain, and when I was fine, anyway, I was bored and pondered by myself, and I felt that for me, whether it was burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, or paying homage to the Bodhisattva, I had to do what I could first, and if I still couldn't achieve my wish, I really couldn't help it, and then I begged, and the Bodhisattva would nod and agree, otherwise why would the Bodhisattva help you, right, Ah Liang?"

"Seek the Buddha first and seek yourself. ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!"

"Well, it barely makes sense. But I have to make one thing clear to you, I, Ah Liang, have pulled a little bit out of my fingernails, and I am thicker than your family. So you think it's very troublesome to me, so you'd rather lose a sword qi? In fact, for me Ah Liang, it's just a small matter of casually pulling out the sword and unsheathing. That's what you have to do with this account. ”

"It can't be counted like that!"

"Huh?"

"Old man Yao, who taught me how to burn porcelain, was rarely willing to talk to me, but there were two times when he spoke very seriously, and I remember it very clearly. The first time was when I was an apprentice potter, and he said that he could learn to burn porcelain with me, but as long as you dare to be lazy once, you will get me out of the dragon kiln. The second time was when I went back into the mountain with him, and he said that it was okay to go into the mountain with me to find soil, but no matter if you broke your leg or what, as long as you dare to cry in front of me once, don't go into the mountain again in the future. ”

"Where is this, Chen Ping'an, what do you mean?"

"Then let me put it another way, Ah Liang, do you like to sleep lazy?"

"Nonsense, you don't like it?"

"I like it too, but you may not believe it, since the first day of my apprenticeship as a potter, until today, I haven't slept once, when should I get up, I get up when I wake up, so I haven't slept once. ”

"What do you want to say about going around in such a big circle? Bullying me Ah Liang is not a scholar?"

"What I mean is that if you think anything is bad, you should simply not have the first time, don't do it once, and you can't go out in a small step, otherwise you will look back and see that you are still the one who suffers. Just like me, if I was lazy once, I would definitely not be able to become an apprentice potter, let alone enter the mountains, so where can I have today's situation? Maybe I am now similar to those thousands of small towns, going into the mountains to open roads, cutting down trees and building bridges, and receiving some copper coins every day, and that's it. How can there be five mountains? Five mountains, how much is worth, Ah Liang, do you know? Ah Liang, you must go to my mountain to see if you have the opportunity in the future......

"Stop, stop, Chen Ping'an, you are going around in such a big circle with me, just to show off that you are rich?"

"Ah Liang, you really haven't read a book. ”

“......”

"Ah Liang, in the future, if there is really one more bamboo building in my Luoluo Mountain, can you give me a name?"

"'Ah Liang is very fierce', how? Is the momentum enough? Why, dislike the noisy and dominant, and overpower you, the king of the mountain? Okay, then I'll change to a more subtle one, it's called 'Mengzilou', I'm Ah Liang has sacrificed a lot, and I'm not satisfied?"

"Ah Liang, I suddenly feel that it's good that Zhulou doesn't have a name. ”

The man in the hat rolled his eyes.

Chen Ping'an laughed, "Don't worry, it's called Mengzilou." ”

Ah Liang suddenly turned his head and asked, "Do you want to learn swords?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I don't want to do it for the time being." ”

Ah Liang smiled and said, "Are you afraid of being distracted?"

Chen Ping'an sighed and nodded.

Ah Liang knew why the young man sighed, at the top of Qidun Mountain, in order to stop the white python from killing Zhu Lu, the maidservant of the Li family, the young man squandered all the money he had accumulated all the way to practice boxing.

Fortunately, walking the pile is a strong body and an imminent move to live, and the stake sword furnace can nourish the soul and make a breakthrough in the battle of Shiping, which paves the way for the young man to accurately find the tricks hidden in the three sword qi when he learns martial arts with Zhu He later.

Ah Liang quipped: "Without such a powerful wisp of life-saving sword qi, is it distressing?"

Chen Ping'an said without hesitation: "Don't feel distressed, the breath I had accumulated in my heart before has finally come out." It's a lot of fun now. ”

Ah Liang smiled: "Let's talk about it." ”

Chen Ping'an looked ahead, "I am willing to reason with others, and I can let others listen to my reasoning, this feels very good! In the past, I practiced martial arts to strengthen my body, or to survive, but now I feel that my goal can be a little farther and higher!"
