A ferry to the Zhongyue realm of the old Zhu Ying Dynasty docked at a ferry called Miasma.

Two men and a woman quietly disembarked.

Wei Yan stood on the observation deck on the top floor of the ferry, watching the three of them leave.

After approaching the Zhu Ying Dynasty, it is equivalent to leaving his own mountain and entering other people's territory, Wei Yan's perception of Phiyun Mountain has attenuated a lot, and when he arrives at the new Zhongyue of Da Li, he will only be more overwhelmed by nature, this is the invisible rule that all the gods of mountains and rivers in the world have to abide by.

But even so, it's still not a big problem.

There is no way, he Wei Yan is now the first Upper Five Realms Mountain Monarch in the history of Aquarius Continent, the Zhongyue Mountain Monarch who is not very polite, even if it is equivalent to the Jade Pu Realm, after all, he is not a real Upper Five Realm God.

Leaving the Beiyue boundary this time, Wei Yan has a passable saying in public and private, and the Dali court is willing to turn a blind eye even if it is not happy to see it.

Wei Yan's introducer on the table of the Dali temple was Xu Qiao, a Mojia ranger.

Back then, Wei Bai was the Qidun Mountain that left with Xu Weak and went to Phiyun Mountain.

Zhu Yong, who is rickety, is bare-handed.

Lu Baixiang, who has a slender figure, hangs a narrow knife to stop the snow.

On the side of the ferry, after Liu Chongrun got off the boat, he couldn't help but say to Zhu Yong, who was walking beside him: "Mr. Zhu, it is not difficult to find the dragon boat of the water hall, that water hall is good to say, it is an ancient immortal refining complete thing, I have mastered the method of opening the mountain with this treasure of the immortal family, put it away, a water hall is only the size of a carriage, it can be carried to the ferry, but the dragon boat has only been a small refining, if you want to bring it back to Longquan County, you can only consume some fairy money, use the dragon boat as a ferry, and swagger through the market." ”

Zhu Yong said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be special people to escort us to hunt for treasures, and then we will take a dragon boat back to Luoluo Mountain, which will only be unimpeded." ”

Liu Chongrun smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhu is really not joking?"

Zhu Yong said seriously: "Lord Liu is the master of the sect, and he is also the Jindan Earth Immortal who is soaring through the clouds, I am a bad old man, how dare I make a mistake." ”

Liu Chongrun felt that he could only take one step at a time.

The two things of the dragon boat in the water hall have always been Liu Chongrun's heart disease.

Whoever it is given to is a university question, even if you send it and accidentally send it to the wrong one, it will be the bleak ending of Zhuhai Island for a hundred years after that, whether you can keep the ancestral hall is two words.

Before doing business with Luoluo Mountain, in order to continue to gain a foothold in Shujian Lake and not be swallowed up by the True Realm Sect as a vassal island, Liu Chongrun weighed the pros and cons, and then revealed the matter of the Water Hall to the True Realm Sect. Monopolizing the treasure, Zhuchai Island was not only able to retain the ancestral hall, but also exchanged for a piece of Taiping Nothing Incident card issued by the Dali Punishment Department to the monks on the mountain, which is the reason why Liu Chongrun did not visit Luoluo Mountain in person for the first time, but only sent a few disciples of Zhuchai Island who were familiar with Chen Ping'an.

It's just that the subsequent development of events is beyond imagination, inexplicably, the True Realm Sect actually gave up the seizure of the water hall, not only that, but the nothing card was not taken away from Zhuhai Island, so Liu Chongrun trembled and ran to Gongliu Island, of course, he couldn't see the Jiang sect master who saw the head and the tail, but only saw the chief of the True Realm Sect to worship Liu Laocheng, Liu Laocheng said that this is the meaning of the sect master, so that Liu Chongrun can rest assured that the nothing card will not be hot, Liu Laocheng sent Liu Chongrun away in a few words.

When you left Gongliu Island, you can rest assured? Liu Chongrun was not at ease at all.

But there is nothing to be done, and it is not necessary for the True Realm Sect to accept the Water Palace.

Therefore, Liu Chongrun finally decided to move to Longquan County, personally went to Luoluo Mountain as a guest, selected the site of Chelica Fish, and mentioned the secret matter with Luoluo Mountain, Liu Chongrun did not deliberately conceal the news that the True Realm Sect learned about the Dragon Boat of the Water Temple, and also said that the decision of the True Realm Sect, the chief steward Zhu Yong smiled a little strangely at the time, and also said that the owner of Liu Island should rest assured, Zhu Yong and promised that even if Luoluo Mountain does not dig up treasures, at least this news will not be leaked to anyone, so as not to let the monks of Zhuhai Island carry heavy treasures and cause trouble.

Liu Chongrun still didn't dare to rest assured.

At this time, he really embarked on the road of treasure hunting in his hometown, Liu Chongrun had mixed feelings, if it weren't for the rediscovery of the dragon boat in the Water Temple, Liu Chongrun would never have set foot in this sad place again in his life.

Regarding the choice of the dragon boat in the Water Palace, Liu Chongrun did not hesitate.

The water hall is the foundation of a sect, it can be said to be a natural immortal cave mansion, set the ancestral hall, the place of the earth immortal cultivator, and the landscape formation, resting in the water-friendly Shujian Lake, no matter you are an earth immortal monk, you have to salivate, and it is enough to support a Yuanying realm monk to practice on the ground, so at the beginning, the True Realm Sect didn't say a word, and handed Liu Chongrun a priceless nothing-matter card, which is sincerity.

Although the huge dragon boat does not cross continents, it is enough to carry a large number of goods to and from a continent, which is a chicken rib for Zhuhai Island with a small door and a small household, and it is a solution to the urgent need for the ambitious Luoluo Mountain.

When Liu Chongrun was traveling thousands of miles, Lu Baixiang was secretly talking to Zhu Yong with the martial arts method of gathering sounds, Lu Baixiang asked with a smile: "Even if you successfully retrieve the dragon boat, you still have to run around without delaying your cultivation?"

Zhu Yong replied with a smile: "I am very comfortable every day. ”

Lu Baixiang said: "If you Zhu Yong have any plans, as long as the matter is revealed, even if Chen Ping'an lets you go, I will kill you with my own hands." ”

Zhu Yong said: "You don't have this kind of opportunity. ”

Lu Baixiang asked, "Do you mean that I am destined not to kill you, or are you really keeping to yourself in Luoluo Mountain?"

Zhu Yong asked rhetorically: "Sect Master Lu is so majestic and strategic, Lu Baixiang in the history of the Lotus Flower Blessed Land has always been decisive in killing, how did he become so crooked?"

Lu Baixiang stopped talking.

In that world, Lu Baixiang is the ancestor, and Zhu Yong is the descendant.

Zhu Yong smiled: "Sure enough, only my young master knows me best, and Cui Dongshan can only be counted as half." As for the three of you fellow villagers, it's even worse. ”

Lu Baixiang smiled, his palm gently rubbing the handle of the narrow knife.

Zhu Yong glanced at Lu Baixiang's small movements, "Believe it or not, you can't even pull out the knife and unsheath it now?"

Lu Baixiang smiled: "I don't believe it." ”

Zhu Yong said: "Looking for an opportunity to accompany you to practice?"

Lu Baixiang shook his head and said, "Let's stay for now, and then talk about it in a few years." ”

Zhu Yong said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that Sect Master Lu is alone, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he is used to staying in the poor countryside, and his small life is too comfortable, and it is easy to not know the height of the sky." ”

Lu Baixiang turned his head to look at Zhu Yong.

Zhu Yong looked at him: "Lu Baixiang, from the lotus flower blessed land of no cultivators, to the vast world full of ghosts and gods running all over the mountain, especially in recent years, have you always been unable to leave the knife? ”

Lu Baixiang frowned and said, "You are hiding on Luoluo Mountain, you need to pay attention to fighting at all times, how can you compare with me?"

Zhu Yong sneered: "Practicing boxing is my own business, don't ask me, the answer, it's good, it's ugly, whatever you want to hear, I can talk about it casually." As for the truth, you have to ask yourself. ”

Lu Baixiang sighed, "It's a little troublesome. ”

Zhu Yong said with a smile: "In a small place, the qualifications are good, the fortune is good, and some are not pure, so they can't be revealed, and when they reach a big world, they won't be done." Let's draw four people, I will see that you are a little pleasing to the eye, and if you are pleasing to the eye, you have to say a few words. ”

Lu Baixiang nodded, and he listened to it.

Although Liu Chongrun didn't know what the two were communicating, Lu Baixiang's murderous intent was revealed in an instant, which actually made her, a Jindan Earth Immortal, feel a little palpitating.

And who is Lu Baixiang? It's just one of the names on the pedigree of the Luoluo Mountain Patriarch's Hall.

Liu Chongrun was in a gloomy mood, when will Zhuhai Island become a truly stable immortal sect?

Is it really a wise choice to leave Shujian Lake with all the heirloom monks, leaving only an empty shelf of the Patriarch Hall, settling in Longquan County, and opening a mansion on the back of the crayfish?

Liu Chongrun doesn't know the answer now.

At the moment, Liu Chongrun only knew that Zhu Yong and Lu Baixiang, who were not far away, were both first-class martial arts masters, and any dynasty in the history of Aquarius was the guest of the emperor and general, and he did not dare to slack off.

It's just that Zhu Yong and Lu Baixiang are in the martial arts realm, Liu Chongrun can't be sure, as for who is more powerful on both sides, Liu Chongrun has no way of knowing, after all, he hasn't had a chance to see them really make a move for the time being.

For Zhu Yong's impression, he is more of a big housekeeper in Luoluo Mountain, smiling at people, dealing with him several times, in addition to treating people without leakage and being able to do business, Liu Chongrun actually doesn't know much, and it seems that she has met more times, which makes her more foggy.

It's Lu Baixiang, at first glance, he is a master who is not easy to provoke, and his momentum is not bad, and he can see it if he is not blind.

Liu Chongrun found that Luoluo Mountain seemed to hide many unknown secrets, and as long as there was an opportunity to contact it, one after another would pop up, which made people dizzy.

Wei Bai, the king of Dali Beiyue Mountain, is a frequent visitor to Luoluo Mountain, and the hunchbacked man with improper eyes is not respectful at all on Wei Bai's side.

The shopkeeper surnamed Shi of the New Year's Shop in Dragon Riding Lane has a strange skin, and there seems to be a trace of femininity, so that Liu Chongrun can't see the depth of the other party's cultivation at all.

Chen Ruchu, Chen Lingjun, Zhou Mili, and the three-headed spirit, especially the little boy in Tsing Yi, seem to be about to reach the bottleneck of the Longmen Realm. But it seems that Chen Lingjun is the most unpopular one on Luoluo Mountain, and it seems to have been left out in the cold, and it doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. This is going to be left in Shujian Lake, and it has rebelled a long time ago, right?

Liu Chongrun occasionally thinks, that young mountain master, this is trying to ascend to the sky in one step, and directly create a sect with the Longquan Sword Sect of the sage Ruan Qiong?

Wouldn't it be a little whimsical?

After all, on Luoluo Mountain, there are many martial artists and few monks, and I can't tell who is the strong earth immortal who is expected to be among the five realms.

On the other hand, the Longquan Sword Sect adjacent to Luoluo Mountain, plus the disciples received, although the monks are still only a handful, not to mention the sage Ruan Qiong himself, Dong Gu is already a golden pill, about Ruan Qiong's only daughter Ruan Xiu, Liu Chongrun because she is from Shujian Lake, one night, she once saw the vision of the island with her own eyes, and there is a piece of peace and quiet card by her side, so she heard some very mysterious gossip, saying that Ruan Xiu once worked with a young man in white with unknown roots to hunt down and kill an old Yuan Ying Dynasty sword cultivator, which is simply appalling.

Moreover, a famous mountain cannot accommodate two golden pills, far away allies, close to enemies, is the unwritten rule on the mountain.

The territory of Longquan County, even if it is not small, and the aura is even more abundant, it can't support the two thriving sect head immortal families.

Zhu Yong, who had obviously never been to Xianjia Ferry, was very familiar with the way, leading Liu Chongrun and Lu Baixiang, and as soon as the three of them left the Miasma Ferry, Liu Chongrun saw a team of elite riders, not many of them, more than 20 riders.

But it made Liu Chongrun instantly frightened.

The first three horsemen, in the center is a young man who is dusty, with a calm expression, not wearing armor, but wearing a large Li standard war knife on his waist.

Riding next to him, there was a handsome boy in a black robe, wearing a long and short sword, squatting on horseback, yawning.

On the other side, there is a stocky man.

Liu Chongrun felt that except for the main general in the middle, the other two were very dangerous.

As for those big horses, Liu Chongrun was born as the eldest princess of the dead country, and he has listened to politics for many years, and he is in charge of housework, so he is naturally an expert, and he can see at a glance that those elite horses are fierce and good at fighting.

The Great Li Iron Rider is able to fight well, not only willing to die generously on the battlefield, but also exudes an orderly and orderly atmosphere.

are all traces carefully polished by the national teacher Cui Yun.

Zhu Yong looked up at the dark-skinned man, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Isn't this our Lord Wu Xuanlang Wei!"

The man who was called Wu Xuanlang by Zhu Yong was indifferent.

The young man in the center turned his head and smiled, "Brother Wei, who is this old-timer?"

The man replied with a glance: "The surname is Zhu Mingyi, an old acquaintance from his hometown, a martial madman, and now he is traveling far away, and he is a steward in Longquan County." ”

The young man was a little surprised.

Eight Realms Grandmaster?

Why have he never heard of it? He knows exactly what kind of martial artists are in Dali's own country, because they are generally engaged in the battlefield, and almost no one stays in the rivers and lakes.

As for the Qi Cultivators of the Eight Realms, he had not heard of them uncommonly.

He was born in the first class of Da Li, born in the capital of the cloud-like Qi'er Street, and has never had a good impression of cultivators, but he has a natural affinity for martial artists, whether it is the battlefield or the rivers and lakes.

His ancestors were all punches and knives, fighting for the Dali court and the family business for their surnames.

When it comes to himself, the same is true, he Liu Xunmei and his good friend Guan Yiran are the same, and the most despised is the moth lying on the merit book of his ancestors in Yichi Lane, and his name Liu Xunmei was given by Mr. Guan himself.

Under the arrangement of their fathers, they fished for oil and water in the yamen, helped the local tycoons to match, or introduced the immortal master on the mountain to serve as the worship of the good family, and the wine banquet that could not be entertained all year round, this group of people, don't look at the officialdom and banquets in the capital, all of them are uncles, and the maids around them must be fairy cultivators, and Hu Cong must be the immortals on the mountain, so let them go to Chi'er Street to see?

Liu Xunmei turned over and dismounted, hugged her fists at that Zhu Yong and smiled, "Liu Xunmei, I've seen Senior Zhu!"

Zhu Yong hurriedly returned the salute with his fists, and said with a smile: "General Liu is young and promising, and he is full of confidence in offering incense to his ancestors in the ancestral hall. ”

Liu Xun was happy, and he didn't think that the other party was rude to talk about the ancestral incense.

The master will dismount, Wei Xian will dismount, and the rest of the elite horsemen will dismount one after another.

Only the young black-robed swordsman who gave birth to a pair of red phoenix eyes continued to squat on the horse's back, nodded and said, "It's a very powerful Wind Realm." Wei Xian, your hometown is full of talents, this point, follow us in Mud Bottle Lane. ”

Sword cultivator Cao Jun.

Cao Jun is a monk born and raised in Nanpo Suozhou, but the ancestor of the family, Cao Xi, was born in the mud bottle lane of Lizhu Cave.

Lu Baixiang, who has been walking behind Zhu Yong and Liu Chongrun, stood side by side with Zhu Yong.

Wei Xian nodded at Lu Baixiang, who smiled and nodded in return.

After Wei Xian left Cui Dongshan, he joined the army of Dali and became a monk of the army of Dali Iron Cavalry, relying on a real and dangerous fight, and now temporarily serving as the commander of the army, just waiting for the document of the Ministry of War to be issued, Wei Xian, who got Wu Xuanlang, will be immediately promoted to the standard commander, of course, if Wei Xian is willing to personally lead the troops to fight, he can be promoted to the six-rank military general according to the law, leading an old-fashioned battalion, and commanding more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.

This kind of Wu Chang of Da Li should be the most precious Wu Chang in the world, and he can see all the generals from the Sanpin real power general to the road below, no need to salute, if you are in the mood, you can just hold your fists, if you are not happy, it doesn't matter if you turn a blind eye.

Wei Xian is now the sixth rank among the twelve-rank martial arts officers of the Dali Iron Cavalry, Wu Xuanlang, who starts with the martial character, and the five martial officers in front of him, generally only awarded meritorious generals who have outstanding military achievements on the battlefield. The Dali Imperial Court, which was founded by martial arts, has always been the first rank of military officials, and it is the Shangzhu State, but the title of Shangzhu State is extremely respected, and it is not necessarily only awarded to martial artists.

Cao Jun has always been Wei Xian's top boss, relying on military merits, in charge of all the monks who accompany the army with a large number of iron horses, although Wei Xian is only a military commander, but somewhat similar to Cao Jun's auxiliary officer, according to Cao Jun's lazy man, don't use your brain if you can use your brain, so you like to throw troublesome things such as transferring troops and reprimanding generals, I like to throw it to Wei Xian, who doesn't know the roots, Wei Xian said that he is a soldier monk, but it is more like a pure martial artist, at first there was some criticism, I always felt that this guy was a guest of a certain big man in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, who should have died in battle, all survived.

Da Li Jing rode here to prepare horses, and everyone rode together to the place where the treasure was hidden, not too far away from the miasma ferry, more than two hundred miles away, the water temple dragon boat was buried at the bottom of a river, and the secret passage was extremely hidden, only Liu Chongrun mastered many methods of cracking the mountain prohibition, otherwise even if he found the treasure house, unless he broke the water transport mountain roots, he would not want to enter the secret realm, but once he did so, he would trigger the mechanism, and the water temple dragon boat would collapse.

When Liu Chongrun learned that the young cavalry Liu Xunmei, who was less than thirty years old, was actually the official body of the fourth rank military general of Da Lizheng, he was even more shocked.

On the one hand, I was surprised that this person was on the road to the top, and the military generals of Dali would advance, and there must be military merits to lay the foundation, which is an iron law. On the other hand, I was surprised by the officialdom incense of Luoluo Mountain. It was the military general Liu Xunmei who showed up, so the one who nodded and promised this matter must be a high-powered general, even if it is not Cao Yu and Su Gaoshan, who have been enshrined as patrol envoys, they should be the only outstanding military generals under the two of them.

In fact, not only Liu Chongrun couldn't figure it out, but even Liu Xunmei herself couldn't figure it out, this time he led the team to travel, which was personally conveyed by a confidant of the general Cao Yu, and among the cavalry, there were also two big spies from the Green Wave Pavilion who supervised the army all the way, looking at the signs, not staring at the other three of them to behave unruly, but staring at him Liu Xunmei will not have any extraneous branches.

This is very chewy, could it be that the new hunting patrol envoy Cao Yu has his hands and eyes to the sky, and wants to fill his own pocket with a certain big boss of the Green Wave Pavilion? Then General Cao chose to hide behind the scenes and send his henchmen to deal with this matter himself? If he is really so bold, shouldn't he Liu Xunmei be replaced by other loyal generals? If Liu Xunmei feels that this matter violates the military law of Dali, he will definitely report it to the imperial court, even if he is secretly killed and sealed by Cao Yu, how to clean up the mess? The Liu family on Chi'er Street is not a gateway that he Cao Yu can clean up casually, the key is that this move has broken the rules, and Dali has been civil and military for a hundred years, no matter what their family style, wrists, and temperament are, after all, they are used to obeying the rules in major events.

Being held accountable by the imperial court and beheading the confidant who would be guilty of the crime? This is not like General Cao's style of acting.

But to say that someone is so powerful that he can make Cao Yu obey orders, so that a patrol envoy who is equivalent to the temple Zhuguo personally plans, Liu Xunmei can't believe it, it can't be the meaning of the national teacher, right?

For a secret treasure of mountains and rivers that someone leads the way, is it so sneaky?

Da Li Iron rode all the way south, and the objects on the mountain that were collected were piled up into a mountain. Thousands of temples that have been forbidden and smashed are all operated in accordance with the established rules of Da Li.

Worse than this one?

Liu Xunmei is full of curiosity.

And I hope I live to know that answer.

Liu Xunmei and Liu Chongrun walked side by side to discuss the route.

Wei Xian and Lu Baixiang followed closely behind, chatting about the past together.

Lu Baixiang is the best one among the four people in the picture scroll, and he can talk to everyone.

The other three could barely speak to each other.

Zhu Yong somehow hung on the tail of the cavalry with Cao Jun, chatted very happily, called brothers and sisters, and talked about everything, of course, the two old men, don't talk about women.

No matter what you Cao Jun say, the words I Zhu Yong answered can't say that you Cao Jun is in your heart, even if I, an old cook, am not good at cooking, I won't watch people put off the plate.

Cao Jun's eyes lit up, and he wanted to leave the army and go to Luoluo Mountain to worship.

————

Li Xisheng took the scholar Cui Ci, and after leaving Lion Peak, he returned to a state city in Artemisia County, which is a small remote country in Luzhou, Beiju, but it is not a big vassal.

In the state city, Li Xisheng bought a small house in a place called Dongxian Street, opposite which lived a family surnamed Chen, a solid door, not a rich and noble high gate in the capital, there was a peer of Li Xisheng, there happened to be a treasure word in the name, named Chen Baozhou, he was an idle prose person who did not have the fame of the imperial examination, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were not cheesy, Li Xisheng often traveled with this person, but they did not go far.

Li Xisheng came to Beiju Luzhou from Aquarius before, traveled all the way to the north, and then stopped here, and through some relationships, he made a turbidity errand in a state school administration office, before going to Qingliangzong, Li Xisheng had to walk next to the archway of "opening the astronomical luck" at the head of the government office every day, and the government office was twelve in, which was not small.

Of course, the Xuezheng is a well-known Qingliu civil official with two sleeves, and can suddenly rise from a Qingshui Yamen to the center of the temple and serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

The next day, Li Xisheng became a servant of the Academic Administration.

Cui Ci felt that the five thunders were booming at first, why would his own gentleman in the beautiful scenery do such a thing, how could a scholar be so meritocious?

Li Xisheng did not explain anything to Cui Ci.

When he returned to the state city this time, there was no place for Li Xisheng in the School Administration Bureau, so he casually gave an excuse and eliminated Li Xisheng's status as an official.

Li Xisheng didn't care either.

On the way to Cui Ci, he asked Mr. how long he would stay in Artemisia Country this time, and Li Xisheng replied that it would be a long time, at least thirty or forty years.

Cui Ci was still a little flustered at first, afraid that it had been hundreds of years, but when he heard that it was just thirty or forty years later, he was relieved.

After all, he and Mr. are not ordinary people under the mountain.

As for Cui Ci himself, when he thinks of his roots, he always has lingering sorrows, but every time he worries about this, the young man is no longer worried, because he has that sorrow.

On this day, Li Xisheng spread out a calligraphy and painting again to see the flowers and moons in the mirror.

Cui Ci knows his husband's habit and burns incense early on the side, in fact, Li Xisheng does not have this vassal elegance, but Cui Ci likes to do this, and he does not stop it.

On the picture scroll, there is an old master sitting and discussing, the old master is the sage of the Yuzhu Academy, the first few times, Cui Ci also listened carefully, and then he really felt bored, and he spoke very much The wife and aunt wrapped the footcloth, every time he lectured and preached, he only said one truth, and then turned over and over, and went around, which is to talk about all kinds of small truths of this big truth. Cui Ci felt very bored, who would not understand these truths after reading the book for a few days?

No wonder later Mr. took him to travel to the Shui Academy, and learned that the old gentleman was laughed at as an old carving insect looking for chapters and sentences, and the old gentleman was also regarded as the most untalented sage in the academy, and later taught the matter, the Confucian protégés of the academy couldn't stand it, so the old gentleman arranged this errand for the academy, responsible for the academy's mirror, and lectured for those monks on the mountain, not only the academy knew that this was a scene, it is estimated that even the old gentleman himself knew that no one would listen to his nonsense, but he still talked for 30 years, the old gentleman was happy to be idle, and sometimes, he would bring a few books that he liked to have, pen notes, calligraphy, choose one of the words, according to your own mood, casually speak.

Cui Ci in the Yushu Academy side of the street full of bookstores, heard about the old gentleman a large basket of old things, it is said that the reason why he won the title of sage, or hit the luck, has nothing to do with the size of the learning, at the beginning there were all kinds of smart people, began to with the gentleman who was not old at the time, became a fellow friend of poetry and singing, Shilin from all over the world, major local academies, all kindly invited this person to lecture and preach, in the end, even the kind of cold stove in the officialdom, no interest. This person's calligraphy calligraphy, fan inscriptions, couplets, etc., at the earliest, can be sold casually for a thousand taels of silver, and later hundreds of taels of silver, less than a hundred taels, to this day, not to mention ten taels of silver no one buys, give away people may not be willing to receive.

However, Cui Ci found that every time his own husband listened to this old gentleman's lectures, he would not fall behind again and again, even during the lecture period of the Qingliang Sect for the nine registered disciples of the He Sect Master, he would still watch the mirrors of the Yuyu Academy.

On the picture scroll, the old master, in the same position for thirty years, sat upright, moistened his throat, picked up a book that he had just started, it was a landscape travelogue, after quickly reporting the title of the book, the old master opened the book, saying that today I want to talk about the sentence in the book, "The small stove in the village is on fire, and the peach and plum in the temple are falling" What is the magic of "the village" and "the temple" Why are these two words the burden of the fly in the ointment, the old gentleman blushed slightly, his expression was not natural, he held the travelogue high, and held the book in both hands, as if to make the title of the book more clear.

Cui Ci looked helpless, "Sir, is this old master going to starve to death?

Li Xisheng smiled: "It's the first time, I haven't had it before." It is estimated that it is an old friend's request, and it is difficult to refuse. ”

Cui Ci lay on the edge of the table, sighed and said, "When a sage deserves this part, he should indeed be blushing." ”

Cui Ci smiled, "But now the old master finally doesn't talk about those empty truths, it's good, otherwise I will be sleepy after keeping a stick of incense." ”

Li Xisheng listened to the old gentleman in the picture scroll talk about the way of poetry, and asked: "Who said that knowledge must be useful to be good learning?"

Cui Ci mistakenly thought he had misheard, "Sir?"

Li Xisheng always looked at the picture scroll, listened to the old man's words, and said with a smile to Cui Ci: "Cui Ci, let me ask you a small question, one or two pounds, two weights, how much does it weigh?"

Cui Ci is becoming more and more confused, is this also a problem?

Li Xisheng continued: "The two weights, who set the rules, the earliest time, who is in the hands of the scales and stones, before 10,000 years, after 10,000 years, will there be the slightest deviation? If there is a slight mistake, what is the impact on the operation of everything in the world?"

Cui Ci thought deeply for a while, and then had a headache.

Li Xisheng said slowly: "Some extremely pure knowledge in the world seems to be extremely far away from the world, but it can't be said that they are useless. There is always some seemingly useless knowledge, and someone has to do it. Let me tell you something, can I help you earn a copper coin, or will I improve my cultivation in the slightest?"

Cui Ci shook his head, "Not really." ”

Li Xisheng looked at the old academy scholar in the picture scroll, a little sentimental, retracted his gaze, turned his head, looked at this "inhuman" young man who was just a pile of broken porcelain, and said: "Refining the aura, turning it into one's own use, ascending to the sky step by step, and immortalizing oneself is the cultivation of the question." Our Confucianism will be moral articles, paper knowledge, feed back to the world, is Confucianism persuasion, the spring breeze sneaks into the night, moisturizing things silently, is the realm of learning. ”

Li Xisheng was silent for a moment, looked at the incense above the incense burner, and said, "One harvest is the unity of heaven and man, and the Tao is immortal." Once released, the sages have been lonely since ancient times, and only the articles have been left for thousands of years. A true Confucian disciple never only seeks immortality. ”

The old gentleman is getting old in the end, and he is tired when he talks about it, and he can nag for half an hour more than half an hour of college homework in the past.

Half an hour had passed, and the old master looked straight into the distance with a sad expression, and said to himself, "I actually know that no one listens, no one is listening to me. ”

The old man said softly: "Twenty years ago, listening to the mountain master, every three or five times, there would be an occasional increase in the aura of snowflake money, ten years ago, it was very rare, every time I heard that someone was willing to spend money for the old man's poor knowledge, the old man had to find someone to drink and ......."

Speaking of this, the old man squeezed out a smile and grabbed the travelogue book, "It's the old guy who engraved this book and sold it for money, and in the blink of an eye, he didn't drink a few meals, and he was old." ”

"In recent years, I haven't been able to rely on this knowledge to help the academy earn a snowfier money, and I can't go with my conscience. ”

The old man looked gloomy, put down the book, and suddenly laughed angrily: "Old bastard surnamed Qian, I know you're looking here, I'm afraid I won't help you sell books, right?! ”

The old man stood up and made a gesture, "This lecture is the last time I have brought humiliation on myself in the academy, no one listens better, so as not to spend unjust money, it is not easy to cultivate the Tao on the mountain, I have been talking about this knowledge for 30 years, it is really useless, look at me, I look like this, like a scholar, a scholar? I don't think it is like it." ”

The old master was about to put away the mirror flowers and water, he had the title of sage of the academy, but he was not a cultivator, and he couldn't wave his hand to the wind and rain.

At this moment, Li Xisheng of the Qinghao Kingdom gently dropped a Gu Yu money, stood up, and saluted, "Li Xisheng, a scholar, has benefited a lot, and I thank Mr. Xie here." ”

The old gentleman was stunned on the spot, stayed for a long time, and was a little tearful, waved his hand and said, "Worthy of it, worthy of it." ”

Then the old man was a little embarrassed, mistakenly thinking that someone had smashed a small summer money, and whispered: "That landscape travel book, don't buy it, it's not cost-effective, the price is too expensive, it's not cost-effective at all! The two things of self-cultivation and family in the world are big to say, but in fact, they should be started small......"

Habitually nagging about those big truths again, the old gentleman suddenly closed his mouth, looked lonely, and laughed at himself: "Don't say it, don't say it." ”

Suddenly, another person smashed a Gu Yu money and said loudly: "Liu Jinglong, I have been listening to Mr. for 30 years, thank you here." This time, I finally didn't miss the last lecture of Mr.!"

Not only was the old gentleman as if he had been struck by lightning, but even Cui Ci couldn't help but ask, "Sir, is it Liu Jinglong, the young sword immortal of the Taihui Sword Sect?"

Li Xisheng smiled and nodded.

The old gentleman called an old tearful, and finally straightened his clothes, straightened his waist, and said with a smile: "If you have a chance in the future, you must come to me for a drink!" I am not in the academy, but it is not far away, it is easy to find, just say that I am looking for Mr. Bound Feet, and you will definitely find me. When the time comes, I will complain about why your kid didn't reveal his identity earlier, so that the old man can have a bright face in the academy. ”

Suddenly, a third person didn't spend money, but a voice echoed, "This lecture is the worst, the ability to help people sell books is not small, why don't you go to open a bookstore by yourself, I am willing to buy a few copies." ”

The old master lowered his voice and said tentatively: "Master Zhoushan?"

The man smiled and said, "Otherwise, in Beiju Luzhou, who can say the three words 'I am thorough' so justifiably?"

The old gentleman hurried away and closed an open book of sages, so that the three of them would not see his embarrassment.

The old scholars who are old still have to talk about their faces.

————

It was just when the mountain monarch Wei Bai left Piyun Mountain.

A convoy was mighty, and the family moved away from Huaihuang Town, Longquan County.

It's not that she doesn't have the money to go to Niujiao Mountain to take the Xianjia ferry, it's that someone didn't nod and agree, which makes a woman who is in charge of money and power very regretful, she has never been able to take the Xianjia ferry in her life.

There's no way, it's the son who doesn't nod, and she, who is a mother, has no choice but to go along with it.

Xinghua Lane Ma family, after the death of the old woman, the old woman's grandson also left the town quickly, the ancestral house has been empty, and the old woman's son and daughter-in-law have long moved out of the ancestral house of Xinghua Lane, the Ma family is rich, but it is not obvious, just like Lin Shouyi's father who worked as an errand in the Kiln Supervision Department, the power but not show, giving people the impression that it is just a non-mainstream official, two families, is about the same situation.

The Ma family and his wife, who moved out of Xinghua Lane back then, did not buy property in Fulu Street and Taoye Lane, and now they have quietly sold the dragon kiln handed down from their ancestors to the Xu family of Qingfeng City at a sky-high price.

Then under the arrangement of the son, the family moved to the boundary of Zhenwu Mountain, one of the ancestral courts of the soldiers, and the future generations will take root and settle down there, the woman is actually not very willing, and her man is not very interested, the husband and wife hope to go to the capital of Dali to settle down, but unfortunately the son said, they should be the father, they can only do it, after all, the son is no longer the stupid boy of Xinghua Lane back then, it is Ma Kuxuan, the most outstanding monk genius in Aquarius Continent now, even the Zhu Ying Dynasty's famous Jindan sword cultivator who is good at fighting, all of them slaughtered two of their sons。

The woman lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a young woman riding outside, who was too beautiful to talk to, and now the maidservant of her son, who had given her the name of the "number dictionary".

The woman thought it was a little funny, but this was the only thing that made her feel that her son was still the stupid son he was back then.

I'm angry with people.

In the early years, it was rumored that Song Jixin, the illegitimate son of the Governor, had a maidservant named Zhigui by his side.

Listening to what his mother-in-law said when she was alive, her son actually always liked that child.

The woman riding slowly beside the carriage noticed the woman's gaze, and at first she didn't want to see it.

But the young man at the front of the team turned his head to look at him with a cold look in his eyes.

She was so frightened that she immediately turned her head to look at the curtain of the car, and asked softly, "Madam, do you need to stop and rest?"

The woman smiled and shook her head, slowly lowering the curtain.

The young woman named Shudian glanced at the back of the young man riding in front of her, she felt sad in her heart, but she didn't dare to reveal the slightest.

Back then, she entered the Lizhu Cave with the mother and son of the Xu family in Qingfeng City, and the moving ape of Zhengyang Mountain, everyone came for chance, and in the end, she turned out to be the most miserable one, a fortune was not obtained, and it also caused a big disaster, a real disaster to destroy the door, her grandfather, the owner of the Haichao Iron Horse, after being destroyed by the unstoppable Dali soldiers and horses, had already taken advantage of the situation and lost the military power, but he kept an official body on the side of the court, and then was able to return to his hometown, but this young man appeared.

When Rong returned to his hometown, the accompanying guards drawn by the imperial court, plus his grandfather's personal army and subordinates, more than 100 people died, and there were corpses everywhere.

She fell to her knees with the old man.

Ma Kuxuan stood between the two kneeling on the ground, stretched out his hand and pressed on the two heads, saying that the two heads, if they can't pay off their debts, even if the entire Haichao Iron Horse is dead, they can't pay it back.

Ma Kuxuan asked the old man what he should do.

The old man began to kowtow, begging Ma Kuxuan to spare his granddaughter and take his life.

A lifetime of horse fighting career, countless achievements, where did I think that I would end up like this, the woman knelt on the side.

Ma Kuxuan pressed it with one palm, leaving a miserable paralyzed corpse on the ground.

In the end, Ma Kuxuan did not kill her, kept her by his side, and rewarded her with a name in the dictionary without a surname.

The number of dejected and depressed books finally followed Ma Kuxuan to Longquan County.

After returning to his hometown, the first place he went to was not Xinghua Lane, let alone his father's residence, but walked on the bank of the Longxu River, at the mouth of the waterfall at the border of the Longxu River and the Tiefu River, and then Shudian saw the appearance of a sword-holding god, who was the first-class water god of Dali, named Yang Hua.

Ma Kuxuan was squatting at the boundary of the river at that time, gently throwing stones into the water, and smiled at the Dali god with a very high divine position: " I know that you are the maid beside the Queen Mother, what about me, just the grandson of the river god under your command, it stands to reason that I should respect you a little, but I heard that you are not very polite to my grandmother, then you have to be careful, life in the world, whether it is a cultivator, or a god and a ghost, the debt is to be repaid, and wait until I return here next time to visit my grandmother, if you still haven't paid off the debt, dare to dictate to this dragon beard river, then I will detain your golden body to Zhenwu Mountain, temper every day, how much incense essence is broken, I will feed you how much incense, I want you to pay back a thousand years, even if my horse Kuxuan is dead, as long as Zhenwu Mountain is still there, you will suffer for a thousand years, one less day, it's all my horse bitter loss. ”

Yang Hua, the god of water, scoffed.

Ma Kuxuan said again, "Since you can become a god of Dajiang, you are naturally not afraid of hardship, it doesn't matter, you are born as a woman, human nature is not there, and some temperaments are difficult to get rid of, I will catch some obscene gods every few years, or mountain spirits, go to Zhenwu Mountain, and then teach them a Shinto secret technique that has long lost its inheritance, so that they can be blessed by misfortune, and let you know what it means to pay money and debts." ”

Ma Kuxuan finally said: "I am telling you this because I hope you don't learn from some people, who are so stupid that they think that many small things are just small things." Otherwise, my horse Kuxuan will break through the realm too quickly, and you will repay your debts quickly. ”

The Iron Fu River Water God didn't say anything, just sneered.

Ma Kuxuan tilted his head, "Don't believe it, right?"

Ma Kuxuan smiled and said, "Then wait." I have changed my mind now, and one day soon, I will let the Queen Mother personally make a decree and hand it over to you, so that you can go to the jurisdiction of Zhenwu Mountain and serve as the god of water in the river. ”

Yang Hua's expression was solemn.

Ma Kuxuan shook his head, "I'm sorry, it's late." ”

Yang Hua narrowed her eyes.

A true martial mountain protector appeared behind Ma Kuxuan and smiled slightly, "Water God Niangniang, killing people without permission is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Yang Hua sneered: "Ma Kuxuan is already the mountain master of your True Martial Mountain?"

The soldier shook his head and smiled, "Naturally not. It's just that Ma Kuxuan's words seem to be more effective than our mountain master, and I have been dissatisfied for a long time, so I have nothing to do. ”

Yang Hua noticed that the monk glanced at herself.

Yang Hua sighed and said to Ma Kuxuan: "Ma Lanhua will soon be able to have her own River God Temple. ”

Longxu River River Po Ma Lanhua, after being promoted from the river goddess to the river god, has not been able to build an ancestral temple.

If the Jinkou of the water god of the Tiefu River is opened, it is reasonable to build an incense temple, whether it is the local government of Longzhou or the Ministry of Rites of the Dali Imperial Court, it will not be difficult.

Ma Kuxuan stood up and clapped his hands, "Okay, then I, Ma Kuxuan, will also regret it, and in the future, the water god Niangniang will be my Ma Kuxuan's honored guest." ”

After that, the slender Ma Kuxuan, dressed in black and white with a jade belt, was like a handsome boy who walked out of the mountains and rivers to play in the mountains, he walked on the bank of the Longxu River, when he no longer hid the qi, deliberately leaked his breath, and not far away, there were aquatic plants in the river, swaying in the river, as if he was spying on the movement on the shore.

As if she didn't dare to recognize Ma Kuxuan, the woman who was no longer old and senile, poked her head out of the river, she looked at the young man on the bank, the river god would not shed tears, but the woman subconsciously wiped her face.

It was the first time that the maidservant girl "Shudian" saw the young demon Ma Kuxuan, and she smiled brightly. She also found out that this hard-hearted bad seed would also shed tears.

That day, Ma Kuxuan sat by the river, sitting side by side with her, and the woman gently grabbed Ma Kuxuan's hand and kept muttering.

Ma Kuxuan just sat there, didn't speak for a long time, and had some unfamiliar faces, but it was the most familiar nagging in his life.

Grandma said a lot of parents and scolded a lot of people, but in the end she asked him not to care about anything.

She finally asked her grandson to wait for a while, and then went to the shabby water mansion, moved all the accumulated belongings back, and put them neatly beside the two, talking about the origin one by one, and finally asked Ma Kuxuan to take them all, saying that these are the daughters-in-law she saved for her grandson, but I don't know if there is a favorite girl over the years, anyway, that childish Gui is a natural fox, and she is really not a woman who can marry into the family, except for her, any woman is her granddaughter-in-law, she recognizes.

Ma Kuxuan said that it was Zhigui.

The woman habitually stretched out her finger and gently poked her grandson's forehead, scolding him for being a ghost and not knowing anything about it, and that he was an idiot who didn't care about his mother and deserved to suffer hardship.

In the end, the woman cried as she spoke, saying that in order to become this river woman, she had suffered from sin and pain, and if she hadn't thought that there was a grandson like him, she would have been unable to survive without a person to take care of her.

Ma Kuxuan took a deep breath and reached out to wipe his face.

The woman asked Ma Kuxuan to promise her one thing, Ma Kuxuan said that she didn't have to be afraid of this, she really wanted to follow the clues to find the head of the Ma family in Xinghua Lane, that Chen Ping'an dared to kill one person, and he would kill Chen Ping'an, the two people he cared about the most, only more, not less. The woman just shook her head, and she had to agree with Ma Kuxuan, with a crying voice, saying that they are your father and mother, how can they settle accounts like this.

Ma Kuxuan was silent.

In the end, the woman used a killer plan, saying that if he did not agree, she would have no grandson in the future.

Ma Kuxuan had to agree first, deep down, in fact, he had his own plans, so after the separation, Ma Kuxuan still did not go to his father, but went to the Yang family's shop, and learned that his grandmother had to stay in Longxuhe, the matter was not negotiable, Ma Kuxuan had to change his mind, let his father and mother sell the ancestral dragon kiln at a high price, and leave Longquan County with his family. Eventually, there was this slow trip away from home.

Along the way, Shudian discovered a strange thing.

I don't know why, it seems that Ma Kuxuan's relationship with his parents is very ordinary, not the kind of alienation that the immortals have, as if he has no feelings since he was a child, after going to the mountain to cultivate, the two sides are becoming more and more estranged and distant, and the couple seems to have been immersed in a huge mood of joy, for the son of Guangzong Yaozu, he almost didn't even have a smile on his face, and the couple didn't think there was anything wrong at all, as if their son was so high, this is a matter of course.

The husband and wife, the man in the ordinary gentry attire, exudes the ability of a gentry giant, the woman, gave birth to a pair of peach blossom eyes, but the posture is not brilliant, looking at people's eyes, even with a smile on their faces, still revealing a trace of coldness.

Along the way, some people and spirits who are not long-sighted and unlucky have died.

Ma Kuxuan seems to have deliberately chosen those mountains and rivers that have a way to go but are poor mountains and mountains, and want to kill those rogues and spirits to relieve the boredom in his heart.

During this period, her monk came to her rescue for the second time.

The first time was when the patriarch brought someone to ask Ma Kuxuan Xingshi for his guilt, and was killed by Ma Kuxuan himself, and he crushed him to death in front of her.

Before Ma Kuxuan made a move, he asked her to make a second choice, whether to live by herself or to save their people to die.

If she answers incorrectly, she will die.

The number dictionary got it right. So those people died.

This time, it was a fellow senior brother who was expected to become a Taoist companion on the mountain with her, and his mountain friends rushed to save her from the dire situation.

Ma Kuxuan asked her to make a choice, whether to be the outlaw mandarin duck or to live alone.

The dictionary still has to live.

So the senior brother she always thought she loved deeply, and several of his friends, all died again, and there was no suspense.

At that time, the heavy rain was muddy, and Shudian's whole person had collapsed, sitting on the ground, and asked loudly why he begged for death for the first time, but he Ma Kuxuan refused to agree, and then twice, she fulfilled her wish.

Ma Kuxuan was wearing a long shirt without the slightest rain, and smiled at her: "I want you to live better than death, what do you not understand." If you don't understand, it's the reason why a fairy has to sit in the mud and wail pitifully, when you understand, you can live a relaxed and comfortable life, and all kinds of things in the past are not worth mentioning at all. ”

Ma Kuxuan grabbed her head and threw her on the horse's back, "If you are a slave or maid, if you are disrespectful in the future, you will cut off your tongue and not make an example." ”

The convoy continued its journey in the rain.

In late spring, the sun is warm.

Ma Kuxuan was at the front of the horse team, sitting on the back of the horse, swaying, silently calculating in his heart which monks of the Upper Five Realms in the Aquarius Continent were squatting in the pit and not.

Da Li National Teacher, embroidered tiger Cui Yun, not counted, this old gentleman, is indeed the one who does great things.

Hiding in the capital of Dali for many years, the giant of the Mo family branch survived the Lu monk of the Yin and Yang family, which is also a skill.

The twelve veritable mountain ferries, Ma Kuxuan has seen it with his own eyes, looking up, covering the sky and the sun, the human territory within a radius of 100 miles under the ferry, such as falling into the middle of the night, this is the fundamental reason why the Dali Iron Horse can go south quickly, the construction of each huge ferry is equivalent to cutting a large piece of meat on the Dali court and the Song Emperor, not only that, but the Dali Song family also owes the Mo family the main vein, A large amount of foreign debts from merchants and other middle-earth bigwigs, Da Li Tie rode three feet to the ground on the way south, which was to repay the debts in secret, and it is difficult to say when the debts will be paid off.

The Mo family ranger named Xu Weak should not be underestimated.

The Heavenly Monarch of Beiju Luzhou Xie Shi has already set off to return and continue to stay in Aquarius, it is meaningless, besides, I heard that this Heavenly Monarch is suspected of a fire in the backyard, and if he does not return to Beiju Luzhou, he will make jokes.

The rest seem to be dispensable existences, dead, the aura returns to heaven and earth, and alive, they are thieves on the mountain who know some immortal methods, and misers who don't spit out when they eat.

Qi Zhen, the Heavenly Monarch of the Divine Decree Sect, can't even keep a disciple of the blessed sect like He Xiaoliang, so it's not good to break her hands and feet and leave her in the Divine Decree Sect, as a cornucopia?

The lower sect Zhenjing Sect, which was relocated from the Yugui Sect, was in the limelight after annexing Shujian Lake in one go, but Jiang Shangzhen was really good at being a man, and the dignified sect master was willing to be a man with his tail between his legs, and the disciples of the sect had any conflicts with the outside world, and they didn't ask the reason at all, it was all their own fault.

Gongliu Island Ye Xiu Liu Laocheng is the Jade Pu Realm, and Liu Zhimao, the true monarch of the Intercepting River, has also broken through the realm and become the second Upper Five Realm Ye Xiu, of course, now they are all regarded as the spectrum immortal master of the True Realm Sect.

The child-like old ancestor of Fengxue Temple has not come down the mountain for hundreds of years, but he has shown his face once in the battle between Zhengyang Mountain and Fenglei Garden.

A certain female monk on the side of Zhenwu Mountain is even quieter than the ancestor of the Fengxue Temple, who is also the ancestor of the Aquarius Soldier Family, but many disciples have been very active in the Dali Border Army.

The head of the Yunlin Jiang family who has been hiding behind the scenes.

The first god of the Five Realms in the history of Aquarius, Wei Bai of Phiyun Mountain.

The sword cultivator of the Upper Five Realms of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, who had not appeared so far, didn't know whether he was dead in retreat or chose to continue to forbear.

As for the storyteller of the Great Sui Dynasty, now staying in Piyun Mountain as a prisoner under that step, protecting a prince of the Gao family, it's really not that Ma Kuxuan looks down on this old guy, except for the realm of a jade realm, what is left?

In the end, Ma Kuxuan remembered the mud leg in Mud Bottle Alley.

Ma Kuxuan opened his eyes on the horseback, interlaced his fingers, pressed down gently, felt a little funny, and left the town, as if all the peers he met were all rubbish, but it was this guy from his hometown who could be regarded as a real opponent who could make him interested.

I don't know if I need to make a move next time?

It is estimated that it is still not used.

That's a bit boring.

Ma Kuxuan closed his eyes again and began to think about the pride of the heavens in the Middle Earth Divine Continent.

As for the servant girl behind her, one day, she will sadly find that before she knows it, she has no desire for revenge, but one day, she will sincerely feel that staying by Ma Kuxuan's side is the only stability in the world.

When that time comes, it's time for her to die.

Ma Kuxuan will also leave part of her soul and memory, with some lost secret methods that even the ancestors of Zhenwu Mountain can't master, follow that clue, find her reincarnation, and when the time comes, give her back the memory, so that she will not be liberated from life to life, reincarnated as a human again and again, and it is better to die than to die again and again.

That Chen Ping'an, as long as he dares to take revenge, will only be worse than her.

But before Chen Ping'an sought revenge, he Ma Kuxuan would not do much, after all, it was their Ma family who was at fault first.

No matter how ruthless he is, he won't kill anyone indiscriminately, but there are many people in the world who seek death, and if he accidentally provokes him Ma Kuxuan, he will help give him a ride.

————

On Luoluo Mountain, early in the morning, Pei Qian prepared large and small belongings, and she was about to go on a long trip!

Because yesterday the old man told her, "Carry a small bamboo box and a walking stick." Go to your hometown, study together, don't worry, just accompany the old man to relax and practice boxing, and I will talk about it later. ”

Pei Qian just shouted at the time, "Old man Cui has not eaten enough today", and then pushed open the bamboo door on the second floor, and wanted to eat another meal with an iron heart.

Anyway, if you don't let go of one or two heroic words, you will be beaten, it is better to take a small advantage, and treat it as if you have earned a few copper coins for nothing.

As a result, the old man in a green shirt and barefoot came with such a sentence.

Pei Qian was still a little uncomfortable, and then replied, "The old cook is gone, but there is still a warm tree girl on the mountain who takes care of our meal, besides, I didn't rob you of your bowl at the dinner table, right?"

Cui Cheng almost couldn't resist giving this girl another sturdy punch.

In recent days, Cui Cheng has often appeared and eaten at the table.

Cui Cheng only said one sentence, "Go downstairs and cool off." ”

Pei Qian's eyes rolled sharply, and he struggled for a long time, and then swaggered out of the bamboo building, stood in the corridor, crossed his hands on his waist, and shouted: "Zhou Mili!"

The little girl in black, who was sitting on the stairs on the first floor, immediately ran to the open space and asked, "Why didn't you hear the screaming today?"

Pei Qian raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms around his chest, and sneered: "What do you think?

Zhou Mili frowned, thought hard about the question, and finally asked: "Shall we put laxatives in that bowl of rice?" Why didn't I know in advance, this kind of thing shouldn't be handed over to Nuanshu, I am the right protector of Luoluo Mountain, and I will do it......

Pei Qian jumped off the second floor, floated beside Zhou Mili, made a lightning move, pressed the head of this unenlightened little fool, and with a twist of his wrist, Zhou Mili began to spin in place.

Later, Zhou Mili himself found it interesting and ran in place.

Pei Qian stretched out his fingers and shouted softly: "Ding!"

Zhou Mili immediately stood still, not forgetting to stare wide-eyed and motionless.

Pei Qian put his fingers in front of him, and the other hand made a posture of a dull dantian, nodded and said: "My hand Immortal Family Fixing Technique, sure enough, even the big water monster of the Dumb Lake can't dodge." ”

Zhou Mili still didn't dare to move, and could only shine with bright eyes.

Pei Qian was more satisfied, and threw his fingers at her, "Move!"

Zhou Mili hurriedly clapped his hands and said happily: "It's amazing, I really can't move." ”

On this day, Pei Qian took Zhou Mili to find Chen Ruchu again, and the three girls got together and chattered, just like the countless peach blossoms in the mountains, and there were yellow orioles on the flowers.

Then the time of the day passed in a flash.

Early this morning, not only Chen Ruchu and Zhou Mili arrived, but even Zheng Dafeng also came, as well as Chen Lingjun.

Zheng Dafeng's face was expressionless.

No wonder he Zheng Dafeng really can't stop it.

Chen Lingjun glanced at the old man Cui Cheng, then stopped looking at it and walked to the cliff side in a daze alone.

Cui Cheng said to Zheng Dafeng: "Tell Zhu Yong, don't want that half of the martial arts, it's very good." ”

Zheng Dafeng held a paulownia umbrella and said with a hippie smile: "The old chef doesn't want it, give it to me." ”

Cui Cheng kicked it, not fast, Zheng Dafeng could easily dodge it if he staggered.

Pei Qian showed off the long-lost sword on his waist on the side, and the bamboo knife and bamboo sword were all there.

There are also walking poles in their hands and small bamboo boxes on their backs.

Today, the old man also wears a Confucian shirt.

It's not that Pei Qian hasn't seen the old man's outfit, but he just feels that it's very strange today.

Cui Cheng said with a smile: "I don't know, the old man is also a scholar, and his knowledge in his early years is not small, and he is one of the few Confucian writers in our Aquarius Continent." ”

Pei Qian said: "Did you count it yourself?"

Cui Cheng smiled: "Oh?"

Pei Qian immediately said loudly: "It shouldn't be! It is definitely a fact recognized by both the mountains and the mountains of Aquarius." ”

Zheng Dafeng sighed in his heart, "The location has been chosen, according to the meaning of the seniors, starting from a wilderness deep mountain in the westernmost part of Nanyuan Country." ”

Cui Cheng nodded, turned his head to look at Pei Qian, "Ready?"

Pei Qian nodded vigorously, clenched the walking stick in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "It's a little appropriate!"

In the end, one old and one young, as if riding through the clouds, landed on the top of an inaccessible mountain.

Pei Qian's face turned slightly pale.

Cui Cheng laughed softly: "When you finish this journey, you won't be so afraid, I believe the old man." ”

Pei Qian poked the walking stick in his hand to the ground and sneered: "I'm afraid of a hammer!"

Cui Cheng looked into the distance and said, "Then please put away the talisman in your sleeve." ”

Pei Qian shook one sleeve lightly, pretending not to hear anything.

The two hiked down the mountain together.

At first, Pei Qian was still a little uneasy, but she was used to walking mountain roads, and as she walked, she felt that there was really nothing to be afraid of, at least temporarily.

It is still far away from the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, and now at the foot of the feet, it is just a barbarian land of lotus flowers in the past, and it is not a real territory of Nanyuan Kingdom.

In the dusk of this day, Pei Qian had already cooked a small pot of fish soup and rice.

There was a river at the foot of the mountain, Pei Qian sharpened the bamboo pole by himself, tied the fishing line and hook, and then threw the rod into the water, squatting quietly by the river, the fish completely bit the hook, one suddenly pulled up, and went ashore.

Cui Cheng had a headache when he looked at the thick fishing rod, this can be called fishing, called pulling fish, right?

However, when he was drinking fish soup in a big bowl, the old man sitting cross-legged didn't care about these, it was a little salty, and the black charcoal girl asked him how it tasted, and the old man said it was okay with a clear conscience.

Pei Qian spooned himself fish soup and soaked rice to eat, fragrant, with fish soup, the thief eats!

Pei Qian squatted on the ground, his shoulders swayed, and the little girl was happy.

The old man didn't bother to say that he sat and ate.

He is not that Chen Ping'an.

In the future, if Chen Ping'an dares to talk about these trivial things, the old man feels that he may have to reprimand him a few words, what is the great thing about being a master, he is in charge of the east and the west, Pei Yatou's heart is actually how big......

It's just that as soon as he thought of this, the old man laughed at himself a little, and said softly to Pei Qian: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

Pei Qian sighed and began to chew slowly.

After cleaning up the bowls, chopsticks and the clay pot for cooking soup, Pei Qian took out the kettle, washed the handle, and then took out the book, pen, paper and ink from the small bamboo boxes that were sorted into various objects and placed neatly one by one, and used the small bamboo box as a bookcase and began to copy books seriously.

Cui Cheng sat aside and said with a smile: "When you get here, you don't need to copy the book, and in the future, the master will blame you, and you will say that I agreed." ”

After Pei Qian meticulously copied the entire sentence, he turned his head and glared: "What are you talking nonsense!"

Cui Cheng waved his hand.

After Pei Qian finished copying the book, it was already dark, and she carefully put away all her belongings.

In fact, seeing things at night is like drinking water and eating for Pei Qian today, it is too simple.

Seeing that the old man Cui was napping, Pei Qian held a walking stick and tiptoed to the far side of the mountain to practice the crazy demon swordsmanship.

Cui Cheng smiled and asked, "Since it's a swordsmanship, why don't you use the bamboo sword on your waist?"

Pei Qian stopped his swordsmanship and replied loudly: "Learn from the master, the master will not use the sword easily, you don't understand." Of course, I don't know much about it, so I just do it anyway. ”

Cui Cheng asked, "Then what if your master is wrong?"

Pei Qian continued to practice this set of crazy demon swordsmanship, whistling into the wind, so that her words seemed a little intermittent when they fell on the ears of ordinary martial artists, but fortunately, Cui Cheng was of course clear in his ears and heard it clearly, "Master is on my side, how can he teach the wrong disciple, it won't be wrong, it won't be in this life, anyway, it's wrong, I also think it's right." None of you can control it. ”

Cui Cheng smiled, stopped talking, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Around the hour, Cui Cheng woke up Pei Qian, Pei Qian rubbed his eyes, and didn't complain anything.

Day and night, trekking through mountains and rivers, what is so strange.

When going down the mountain, Pei Qian was carrying an extra fishing rod that was not quite like words.

Cui Cheng asked, "Not tired?"

Pei Qian seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and said pitifully: "Tired." ”

Cui Cheng said: "Don't think that I will help you carry the fishing rod, the old man can't afford to lose this face." ”

Pei Qian sighed, asked Cui Cheng to wait for a while, picked up the fishing line, put it away with the hook, put it back in a small package in the bamboo box, and after carrying the bamboo box again, grabbed the fishing rod and shouted softly: "Go you!"

The rod was driven straight into a large tree in the distance.

After that, I had two meals a day, morning and evening, and because I walked along the big river, I still cooked fish soup and rice.

Cui Cheng took a sip of fish soup and said, "If we go down the river, we will eat this every day?"

Pei Qian rolled his eyes and said: "Some people are content when they eat, what kind of trouble do you have to make." ”

Pei Qian finally snorted: "Don't you know, when I walked the rivers and lakes with the master, there were just me and the master, there were no old cooks, what did they do, at that time, it was called hard work, the master tested me at that time, and he hadn't officially accepted me as a great disciple of the mountain, the master was very good at fishing, I couldn't, once I was really hungry and panicked, and the master didn't call me to come over to eat, guess I came up with a solution?"

Cui Cheng smiled: "Ask Chen Ping'an to reward you with a mouthful of food?"

Pei Qian sneered: ", I went to a river with muddy water, the water is not deep, go to my waist, plop, I stabbed it down with a fierce son, and then stretched out my arm and probed in the crack of the stone, so as soon as I stirred it up, I caught a big fish, a big catfish about the length of my arm, but it was fierce, and I didn't let go if I bit people, so I quickly surfaced, quickly ran ashore, picked up my arm, and shook it several times before smashing the big catfish to the ground!"

When Pei Qian said this, he was a little proud, "Master was dumbfounded, gave me a thumbs up, and was full of praise!"

Cui Cheng smiled: "There are many nonsense. ”

Pei Qian immediately slackened his shoulders, "Okay, Master didn't really give me a thumbs up, nor did he say anything nice about me, he just glanced at me." ”

In fact, that time, the black charcoal girl was so angry that she hid the injured arm behind her and glared at Chen Ping'an fiercely with her eyes.

At this moment, Pei Qian quickly swore and said to the old man: "That big catfish was really caught by me......

Speaking of this, worried that Cui Cheng would not believe it, Pei Qian Ma'er rolled up his sleeves, but he was very annoyed and sighed, "I forgot that there was no mark for a long time." ”

Pei Qian quickly smiled, "Thanks to the master back then, he grabbed a handful of herbs, threw them in front of me, smashed them and put them on my arm, so it didn't hurt at all.

Cui Cheng smiled and nodded.

After that.

Pei Qian still copies books every day and practices that set of crazy demon swordsmanship from time to time.

Cui Cheng just took Pei Qian and hurried slowly.

On this day, watching Pei Qian drift with stones, the old man asked casually: "Pei girl, what is the saddest thing you have ever heard in your life?"

Pei Qian deliberately didn't hear it.

The old man asked again.

Pei Qian squatted by the water and said slowly: "Just twice, once at the border inn of the Daquan Dynasty in Tongyezhou, the master didn't actually speak, but the master just looked at me, and I was sad." ”

"Later, there was a sentence that was said by the big white goose, and he asked me, is it only when the master dies that I am willing to practice boxing? It's also sad and makes people unable to sleep. ”

Cui Cheng didn't say anything more.

Pei Qian, who seemed to be carefree soon, had already picked two nameless grasses by the river, and played with the favorite grass of the country children.

The mountains and rivers came all over, and gradually came to the place where there were people.

Cui Cheng still took Pei Qian to the landscape-shaped place, on a cliff, the old man put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "What an iron embroidered rock wall, murderous and silencing." ”

Pei Qian hummed and nodded slightly, as if he completely understood.

Cui Cheng turned his head and smiled: "I'm used to trekking through mountains and rivers with two feet on the ground, so let's have a real climb over the mountains and mountains?"

Pei Qian put a talisman on his forehead, and said arrogantly: "People in the rivers and lakes, only can't, no dare!"

Cui Cheng did not travel far away against the wind, but went up to the wall, followed by Pei Qian, who painted a gourd in the same way.

When you reach the top of the mountain, you are at least ten miles away from the green mountains in the distance.

Cui Cheng smiled: "Grasp the trekking poles and bamboo boxes." ”

Without waiting for Pei Qian to ask anything, he was grabbed by the old man on the shoulder, and shouted with a smile, "Leave you!"

It seems that Pei Qian, who is like a fairy on the mountain controlling the clouds and mist, was scared at first with cold hands and feet, but he quickly adapted to it, wow, played with the dog planer, looked down, the mountains and rivers were winding under his feet.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

When he was about to crash into the green mountain opposite, Pei Qian gently adjusted his breathing, stretched his body in the air, changed his posture, changed his trajectory slightly, stepped on a towering tree with his feet, his knees bent instantly, the whole person curled up, and the whole tree was broken by her stepping. Cui Cheng was already standing beside her and said, "Reach the top earlier than anyone." ”

Pei Qian ran wildly, like a wisp of green smoke, Cui Cheng just kept a distance of five or six zhang from Pei Qian, which could be seen and couldn't catch up.

One old and one young, in the subsequent mountain road, it was a straight line, and when there was no way ahead, Cui Cheng threw out Pei Qian.

In the end, Pei Qian could even play that crazy demon sword technique in the clouds.

One day, when the stars were scarce, the two landed at the foot of a famous mountain in Xiyue, a Nanyuan country.

Pei Qian blinked his eyes and said eagerly: "Throw me up?"

Cui Cheng smiled: "It's time to walk, scholar, you should pay homage to the mountains." ”

Pei Qian nodded, "That's right." ”

In the mountainous land of Nanyuan Kingdom, in the past history, there was naturally no real supernatural person, and as for the legends and deeds in the history of the barnyard official, there may not be a few.

But it's hard to say now.

Cui Cheng took Pei Qian to climb the mountain, walking on the steps, Pei Qian carried a small bamboo box, gently tapped the steps with a walking stick, and said with a smile: "It is a little similar to the steps of our Luoluo Mountain." ”

Cui Cheng said: "The scenery of the world, if you don't look carefully, will be similar." ”

Pei Qian nodded, and decided to write down this sentence silently, so that he could take it out in the future to show off, so as to fool Zhou Mili's little fool.

Cui Cheng slowly climbed the mountain, looked around, and recited a poem, "Thousands of mountains are full of scales, thousands of pines are full, and strange things are shocking to the centenarian." ”

Pei Qian nodded and said, "Good verse!"

Cui Cheng smiled: "You understand?"

Pei Qian grinned, "I said it for Master." ”

Cui Cheng laughed heartily.

When I arrived at the top of the mountain, there was a Taoist temple with the door closed, Cui Cheng didn't knock on the door, just took Pei Qian for a walk, looked at some inscriptions, Cui Cheng looked into the distance, and sighed: "The sages once said, the life of a person is in the vitality, the life of the country is in the heart of the people, honest words, sincere words, sincere words......"

Pei Qian turned his head to look at the old man, and finally remembered that the old man had said that he was a scholar.

It is rare for the two of them to go down the mountain on foot, and then go down, there will be rural cooking smoke, there are market towns, and there are post roads.

I met a lot of people along the way, most of them passed by, and there was no turmoil.

On this day, the two were at a roadside tea stall, and Pei Qian paid for two large bowls of herbal tea.

Pei Qian made a bamboo hat for himself.

The sword on his waist is wrong, he is carrying a small bamboo box on his back, he is wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and he is diagonally placing a mountain stick on the side of the table, which looks very funny.

A group of high-rollers who turned over and dismounted came to the next table, Pei Qian was a little flustered, and she, who was originally sitting opposite the old man's table, quietly sat on the bench on the old man's side.

Quickly glanced at the real people in the rivers and lakes, Pei Qian lowered his voice and asked the old man: "Do you know that you must have those things to walk the rivers and lakes?"

Cui Cheng smiled: "Let's talk about it." ”

Pei Qian said softly: "A big bag of gold leaves, a tall horse, a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay, and then a well-known nickname in the rivers and lakes, the master said that with these, go to the rivers and lakes again, and eat fragrant miles wherever you go." ”

Pei Qian suddenly became a little happy, "I don't want any high-headed horses in the future, Master promised me that when I go to the rivers and lakes, he will definitely buy me a little donkey." ”

Cui Cheng smiled and nodded.

The Jianghu people who pulled their waists and swords sat next door, and one of them did not sit down immediately, reached out and pressed the little girl's hat, and laughed: "Where did the little black charcoal run out, yo, or a little woman? ”

The man reached out and pressed Pei Qian's head hard, "Tell me, who did you learn from?"

Cui Cheng just drank tea.

Pei Qian's face turned pale, he didn't say a word, slowly raised his head, and said timidly: "I learned it from my master." ”

The Jianghu man smiled and took a step back, raised his foot and kicked the green bamboo box of the hat girl, "Why are you walking in the rivers and lakes and carrying a tattered bookcase?"

Pei Qiangang wanted to ask Cui Cheng for help, but he didn't think that the old man smiled and said, "Solve it yourself." ”

Pei Qian wiped the sweat on his face, and when he saw that the man was about to increase his strength, he kicked the bamboo box behind him, Pei Qian stood up, moved to dodge, and subconsciously reached out to grab it, and held the hiking stick in his hand.

The man stepped into the air, just felt that he had lost face, a little embarrassed and angry, and then saw the scene of the little black charcoal volleying in the air, he began to sweat on his forehead, and tried his best to stretch his somewhat unkind face into a kind look, and then bowed his head and waist, rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "I recognize the wrong person, I recognize the wrong person." ”

Pei Qian thought about it and sat back in his place.

Cui Cheng smiled and asked, "Don't you dare to fight back?"

Pei Qian shook his head and said sullenly: "At first, I was a little afraid that he would break the bamboo box, but after I saw his kick handed out, I was even more afraid that if I was not careful, I would punch him through the chest." ”

Cui Cheng asked again: "What are you afraid of this, isn't it supposed that the other party is afraid of you?"

Pei Qian still shook his head, "Master said that walking the rivers and lakes is not only about happiness and revenge, but also about fighting and killing. When encountering trivial things, being able to contain your fists is the ability of those who practice martial arts. ”

Cui Cheng smiled.

I don't know if it's a joke about the little girl's big words, or a joke about the small town saying of "to the door".

Cui Cheng drank the tea in the bowl and said: "You only have a few pennies of your belongings, and you lose a copper coin, of course you have to worry about your heart and lungs, and when you have a lot of fairy money, you will lose a few pennies......"

Pei Qian was categorical: "You still have to look for it all over the place!"

Just kidding, there is no reason why you lose money and don't get it back.

Master said that every copper coin that belongs to his money bag, if he loses it, he is the poor little homeless worm.

Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Pei Qian said strangely: "If you talk about it in another way, I will listen." ”

Cui Cheng laughed and said: "The old gentleman also has the old saying that he has finished speaking, and the old man has not talked about it." ”

Pei Qian was a little disappointed, "Think again?"

Cui Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't want to." ”

The people at the next table didn't drink any tea, so they got on their horses and rode away.

It seems that there is a real urgency.

Cui Cheng took Pei Qian and continued to set off, looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "Catch up, say a word to them, whatever you want." ”

Pei Qian was a little hesitant.

Cui Cheng waved his hand.

Pei Qian took a deep breath, helped the hat, and began to run with his legs, and then carefully thought about what he should say, so that he seemed reasonable, polite and courteous, and after a while, Pei Qian, who was running faster than the horse, had already caught up with the person and the horse.

She gradually slowed down, raised her head and said to the man on the horse who was like a mournful woman: "Walking the rivers and lakes, you must preach morality!"

I saw that the man looked demented.

Pei Qian accentuated his tone and asked loudly, "Remember?"

The man said in a trembling voice, "Remember!"

Not only him, but even the rest of his friends couldn't help but answer.

Pei Qian got the reply, so he stopped abruptly, waiting for the old man behind him to follow him.

After that, Pei Qian walked with the old man through the high head of the state city.

I have burned incense in Taoist temples and temples in various places, sold all kinds of delicious food in the bazaar, visited the bookstore in my hometown, Pei Qian also bought books for Sister Aquarius and Li Huai, of course, the friends on the Luoluo Mountain also prepared gifts out of their own pockets, but unfortunately in this hometown Nanyuan country, the fairy money does not work, looking at the copper coins and grains of silver, as if going to another door, Pei Qian is still a little sad.

When Cui Cheng walked out of the bookstore with Pei Qian, he asked, "Do you feel very bored to learn from your master everywhere?"

Pei Qian swaggered and walked on the bustling streets, "Of course not, what is there to live a person, you can eat and drink enough every day, what else do you want, I used to be a beggar in the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, my body was in tatters, I couldn't even enter the door, how pitiful, I could only stick to the root of the wall, try to get as close as possible to pray to God and worship the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattvas can't listen, they should be hungry or cooing, and they should beat people and still hurt their intestines." ”

Cui Cheng smiled: "You can't think like that, didn't the Bodhisattvas hear it in the end, let Chen Ping'an stand in front of you, and become your master?"

Pei Qian stopped suddenly, her eyes turned red in an instant, and asked the old man to wait for her, she ran to the temple in the city alone, asked for incense, didn't say anything about incense, and took off the small bamboo box and put it aside, she kowtowed a lot on the futon at the feet of the Bodhisattva.

After the two left the city, Cui Cheng said that he was going to the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom.

Pei Qian nodded and didn't say anything.

On the banks of a river not far from the capital.

Cui Cheng sat by the river, and Pei Qian squatted on the side to wash his face.

The old man asked, "Are you still afraid of that Cao Qinglang?" If so, we can enter the city later." ”

Pei Qian was silent and looked at the other side of the river in a daze.

The old man picked up a stone casually, gently threw it into the river, and said with a smile: "Afraid of a person, one thing, in fact, it doesn't matter." But don't be so scared that you don't dare to face it. How can we compare the poems and verses that have been written by our predecessors and can only be stared at by our descendants? What I am most afraid of is that since we are on the same road, it is destined to be difficult to get around in this life, so we will deceive ourselves and others and only do some comfortable work that we can reach at hand. ”

The old man pointed into the distance, "But you have to know what the situation is over there, keep your eyes open and take a closer look, you can't be afraid, just hide, then you will be afraid for the rest of your life." ”

The old man smiled: "It's not the old man who is an outsider, talking about cool things." ”

The old man continued: "The old man studied in the past, and then studied in the study, his heart was higher than the sky, and he never lost in disputes with others. Later, when he practiced boxing, he was alone, and he traveled thousands of miles with only his fists, even more so. What you seek, learning is the same as practicing martial arts, which is the one in the book that although tens of millions of people go to me. ”

The old man sighed: "There are no heroes, and the erector becomes famous." This sentence, the saddest, is not in the erection of fame, but in the time when there is no hero. So don't be afraid of how good others are, others are good, and we can be better, that is the real growth. ”

"You Pei Qian, one day, not only his founding disciple of Chen Ping'an, but you Pei Qian is Pei Qian. Of course Chen Ping'an is willing to take care of you all the time, he is this kind of person, the country is easy to change, and he may be less nosy in the future, but those of you who are close to you who have gathered around him are the responsibilities that Chen Ping'an has to pick up all his life, he is not afraid of hardships and enjoys it. This kind of person, this kind of thing, if you persuade him to think more about himself, that is, the chicken and the duck talk about it, and he will definitely listen to the reason, and it will be difficult to change. ”

The old man was silent.

Pei Qian raised his head, "Let's go, go to the capital, I'll lead the way!"

One old and one young, went to the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, the old rules, there was no customs clearance paperwork, so they quietly passed over the wall.

Anyway, Old Man Cui took her to do it, even if the master knew, he shouldn't be too angry, right?

Entering the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, which Pei Qian was still very familiar with, Pei Qian slowed down.

The old man did not have any urging.

When I walked through the Zhuangyuan Alley, I passed by the martial arts hall that was still open, and then I went to the Xinxiang Temple.

Pei Qian has already walked a little faster.

But when Pei Qian was not so afraid, the old man stopped at the entrance of the small temple, and no pilgrims came in and out.

Pei Qian wanted to follow in, but Cui Cheng shook his head and said, "The last part of the journey, you should go by yourself." ”

Pei Qian nodded vigorously, turned around and left, along a street, and went to the alley alone.

The old man kept looking at the thin back, smiled, walked into the temple, did not burn incense, and finally found a quiet and unmanned corridor, and sat there.

————

On the other side of the alley, Pei Qian found that the courtyard door was locked, and she sat on the steps outside the door.

It wasn't until twilight that a young man in a green shirt walked into the alley.

Pei Qian stood up and looked at him.

Cao Qinglang walked forward quickly, smiling.

Pei Qian said slowly: "Long time no see, Cao Qinglang." ”

Cao Qinglang smiled: "Hello, Pei Qian." ”

Then Cao Qinglang opened the door and turned his head and asked, "Last time you were in a hurry, I didn't have time to ask you how Mr. Chen ......"

Pei Qian was a little annoyed, and blurted out: "Why are you so badly beaten?"

Cao Qinglang smiled dumbly.

He was a little afraid of her.

Pei Qian looked at him.

Cao Qinglang was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Pei Qian strode into the courtyard and picked the small bench that was very familiar, "Cao Qinglang, tell you something!"

Cao Qinglang sat down with a smile.

Two small benches, two old people who are not very old.

————

In the corridor of the Heart Phase, Cui Cheng closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, as if he had been waiting for the reunion in the alley, and he could rest assured after knowing the answer.

It's just that Cui Cheng's expression is getting more and more tired, and after Pei Qian leaves, he can no longer hide his old state.

During this period, a monk approached, and Cui Cheng just smiled and shook his head. The monk smiled and folded his hands, bowed his head and turned away.

Cui Cheng has been sitting cross-legged in place, as if he has finally let go of his thoughts, his hands are gently folded, his eyes are in a trance, he has been silent for a long time, he gently closed his eyes, and muttered: "There is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten to distinguish it." ”
