The cross-continent ferry of the Phi Ma Sect is dragged by a mighty heroic spirit wrestler, running in the sea of clouds, galloping.

The ferry boat was at the Niujiaoshan ferry, slowly landing on the shore, and the hull shook slightly.

Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan stepped off the ferry, Wei Yan had been waiting for a long time, Zhu Yong was now far away in the old Dragon City, Zheng Dafeng said that he had broken his foot, and he couldn't get out of bed for at least half a year, so he asked Cen Yuanji to help guard the mountain gate.

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Give us a ride to the foot of Luoluo Mountain." ”

Wei Yan was relieved, nodded, and the three of them disappeared out of thin air together and appeared at the gate of the mountain.

After Cen Yuanji saw the three people, he was just about to stand up, and saw that the three people had begun to climb the mountain, and the young mountain master nodded to her, and then stretched out his hand to press it, signaling her to continue practicing boxing.

Wei Yan asked, "Got it all?"

Chen Ping'an nodded.

Senior Cui left a suicide note in Luoluo Mangosteen Building, not on the second floor, but on the bookcase on the first floor, with the envelope written "Warm Tree Unpacked".

According to the old man's wishes, there is no need to be buried after death, and the ashes can be scattered somewhere in the lotus root blessed land, and this matter cannot be delayed. In addition, you don't have to care about the wishes of the Cui ancestral hall, the letter directly wrote that those who dare to climb the Luoluo Mountain will be beaten back with one punch.

Wei Yan explained: "Pei Qian has been staying over there, saying that he will wait until the master returns to the mountain, and then say hello to her. Zhou Mili also went to the lotus root blessed land and accompanied Pei Qian. Chen Lingjun left Luoluo Mountain and went to Qilong Lane to help Shi Rou take care of the business of the New Year's shop. So now only Chen Ruchu is left on Luoluo Mountain, but at this time she should go to the county town to buy sundries, and then the two disciples collected by Lu Baixiang, Yuanbao Yuanlai brother and sister. ”

Chen Ping'an said: "Congratulations on breaking the realm. ”

Wei Yan laughed at himself: "There have been some small moves on the side of the Dali Imperial Court, and the reasons are high-sounding, and even I think it makes sense." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "The matter of Jin Qing, the traces of the intention of Piyun Mountain are too obvious, the two Dayue Mountain Monarchs are in the same breath, even if Emperor Dali knows that you don't have too much selfishness, there will be mustard in your heart." ”

Wei Yan said: "There is no way to do it, just look at Jin Qing's pleasing eyes, change to other mountain gods to sit in Zhongyue, and the days of Beiyue will only be more responsive in the future, the five mountain monarchs of all dynasties, whether it is a dynasty or a vassal family, there is no one who is not forced to fight-for-tat, weigh the pros and cons, and Piyun Mountain has to do it." It's better to act as a single, anyway, the matter has come to this point, and the Song Emperor has to admit it if he doesn't recognize it. Jin Qing, this guy is even more scoundrel than me, on the side of His Majesty the Emperor, he keeps saying that Piyun Mountain is good, and Wei Dashan Jun's moonlight is windy. ”

Chen Ping'an said: "Sure enough, those who can be the king of the mountain are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”

When he arrived at the Luoluo Mangosteen Tower, Chen Ping'an said softly: "I didn't expect to return to Nanyuan Country so soon. ”

Cui Dongshan said suddenly: "I've already been there, so I'll stay here and take care of my family." ”

Wei Yan took out the paulownia umbrella that he kept for the time being, after all, this thing was very important.

Wei Yan gently opened the small tung leaf umbrella and said: "Now it has just been promoted to a medium blessed land, I should not go in and out of the lotus root blessed land frequently, I will send you to the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, "Excuse me." ”

Chen Ping'an's figure disappeared in a flash.

Wei Yan sighed softly.

Cui Dongshan was already standing in the corridor on the second floor, lying on the railing, with his back to the door, looking into the distance.

Wei Yan put together the paulownia umbrella and sat down at the stone table.

Cui Dongshan suddenly said: "Wei Yan, you don't have to worry. ”

Wei Yan shook his head, "It's not worrying. ”

Then Wei Yan asked, "When are you leaving Luoluo Mountain?"

Cui Dongshan thought for a while, "When Mr. and Pei Qian return to Luoluo Mountain, I will leave soon, I have accumulated a lot of debts, and that old bastard holds the most grudges." ”

The two sides were not all the way, and in fact, there was nothing to talk about, so they went silent.

Wei Yan asked: "Is Senior Cui so worried about Chen Ping'an? If you don't see the last one, you have to scatter the ashes in the lotus root blessed land early, and you don't want to be buried on Luoluo Mountain." ”

Cui Dongshan replied: "Because my grandfather has the highest expectations for my husband, my grandfather hopes that my husband will worry about him as little as possible, so as not to punch in the future and be not pure enough." ”

————

On a familiar street in the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom.

Chen Ping'an carried a bamboo box on his back, held a hiking stick, walked slowly, turned into an alley, stopped at the door of a small house, looked at the Spring Festival couplets a few times, and knocked lightly.

It was Pei Qian who opened the door, and Zhou Mili sat on a small bench, carrying a green bamboo cane.

Pei Qian stood in place, raised his head, and wrinkled his face vigorously.

Chen Ping'an rubbed her little head, "Master knows everything, don't think about anything, you haven't done anything wrong." ”

Pei Qian clenched his hands into fists, lowered his head, and his body trembled.

Chen Ping'an gently pressed the little head and said softly: "So sad, why do you hold back and not cry, after practicing boxing, Pei Qian is not the master's founding disciple?"

Chen Ping'an squatted down, Pei Qian hugged him, whimpered, and didn't cry, so it was even more heartbreaking.

Zhou Mili also cried.

When Pei Qian cried until his heart was gone, Chen Ping'an patted her head, he stood up, took off the bamboo box, Pei Qian wiped his face, and quickly took the bamboo box, Zhou Mili ran over and took the hiking stick.

Chen Ping'an looked around, he was still the same, as if nothing had changed.

Zhou Mili held two hiking sticks of different lengths, and then placed his bamboo chair at Chen Ping'an's feet.

"Looks a little taller. ”

Chen Ping'an also rubbed the head of the little girl in black, sat on the bamboo chair, was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile: "When I see Cao Qinglang, Mr. Chong and some people, I will go back to Luoshan together." ”

Pei Qian's eyes were red and swollen, he sat beside Chen Ping'an, and reached out to gently tug Chen Ping'an's sleeve.

Chen Ping'an said softly: "Tell Master about your trip with Senior Cui?"

Pei Qian snorted, and talked about the trip carefully.

It's been a long time.

Chen Ping'an listened attentively.

Someone gently pushed the door and saw the young man in a green shirt.

Cao Qinglang, a young man in a Confucian shirt, shouted softly, "Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to hold Pei Qian's hand, stood up together, and said with a smile: "Sunny, now I look like a scholar." ”

Cao Qinglang saluted.

Chen Ping'an was a little helpless, he was really a reader.

Pei Qian stood on tiptoe, Chen Ping'an bowed her head sideways, she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and whispered: "Master, Cao Qinglang has secretly become a cultivator, is it considered a serious job?

Chen Ping'an smashed a chestnut down.

Pei Qian showed signs of flooding again.

Zhou Mili, who was holding two walking sticks in his arms, gasped.

It's fierce.

The two of them used to roam the rivers and lakes together, but he never beat himself like this.

Zhou Mili frowned his thin eyebrows, tilted his head, and pondered hard, could it be that Pei Qian was a disciple picked up by the roadside?

Chen Ping'an stretched out his thumb, gently rubbed the chestnut where Pei Qian's forehead landed, and then beckoned Cao Qinglang to sit down.

Cao Qinglang moved a small bench and sat next to Chen Ping'an.

Pei Qian sat between the two of them with a small bamboo chair.

Zhou Mili stood behind Pei Qian.

Chen Ping'an asked, "Sunny, how are these years?"

Cao Qinglang smiled and nodded, "Very good, Mr. Chong is my school master, and after Mr. Lu arrived in our Nanyuan Kingdom, he often came to me and sent me a lot of books." ”

Then Cao Qinglang asked: "Mr. Chen, have you ever heard the poem 'Iron Flower Embroidered Rock Wall, Murderous Silence Frog Frog'?"

Chen Ping'an nodded, casually said the name of the poet and the name of the poetry collection, and then asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Pei Qian originally wanted to scold Cao Qinglang for being shameless, but at this time, he was already with his arms around his chest and squinting at Cao Qinglang.

Cao Qinglang pointed at Pei Qian, "Mr. Chen, I learned from her." ”

Pei Qian said angrily: "Cao Qinglang, believe it or not, a punch made your brain bloom?"

Cao Qinglang nodded and said, "Believe." ”

Pei Qian was so angry that his teeth itched.

Chen Ping'an said: "Later, you can take me to Mr. Seed, there are some things to discuss with Mr. Seed." ”

Cao Qinglang nodded.

Chen Ping'an laughed, "Mr. Chong is already on the way, and he will be there soon, so we will wait." ”

Then Chen Ping'an said to Pei Qian: "Is there any fall in the daily copying of books?"

Pei Qian shook his head.

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand, "Take it and take a look." ”

Pei Qian immediately ran to the house to get a large handful of papers, Chen Ping'an turned over the pages one by one, and after reading it carefully, he returned it to Pei Qian and nodded: "I'm not lazy." ”

Pei Qian grinned, and Chen Ping'an helped her wipe away her tears.

Then Chen Ping'an stood up, "You stay here, I'll go talk to Mr. Chong about something." ”

After Chen Ping'an left, Pei Qian put the papers back in the house, sat back on the small bamboo chair, and supported his cheeks with both hands.

————

At the corner of the street and alley, Chen Ping'an happened to meet Chongqiu.

I haven't seen him for many years, and Mr. Chong's temples are more frosty white.

The two walked together on the street where they had fought and fought side by side, and both sides felt a lot of emotion.

Regarding the current situation of the lotus root blessed land, Zhu Yong wrote in the letter, Li Liuyou said, Cui Dongshan later elaborated on it, and Chen Ping'an was already familiar with it.

Nanyuan Kingdom, Songlai Kingdom, Northern Jin Kingdom, Biansai Grassland A total of four patterns, the territory seems to be the same, but this belongs to the category of "mountains and rivers change color", only the Nanyuan country allocated to Chen Ping'an is a person with a complete soul, in addition to all spiritual beings, grass, trees, mountains and rivers, have not "faded", and have not been reduced to those "people" who have not been reduced to a blessed land of white paper. According to Li Liu, the spiritual beings in the other three places have "lost their meaning", so Zhu Yong said that they were three "white painting scrolls". But just like Lu Tai, Yu Zhenyi and others, as well as the young man from the scholarly family in the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, they all disappeared out of thin air in this blessed land, and if they were cut off elsewhere, the teachers of Nanyuan Kingdom would disappear out of thin air, and they were one of the very few special cases who were added to the blue eyes of the old Taoist who watched the Taoism.

This is a veritable change of heaven and earth, and the Tao leads to the sky.

Chong Qiu got straight to the point and said: "His Majesty the Emperor already has the heart of cultivation, but I hope that before leaving the lotus root blessed land, I can see the Nanyuan Kingdom dominate the world." ”

Chen Ping'an asked, "What does Mr. Chong have in mind?"

Emperor Nanyuanguo, he met in a nearby restaurant back then, the restaurant banquet, not counting Chen Ping'an, the other party was a total of six people, Huang Ting was among them at that time, from the former Fan Waner and Tong Qingqing, after looking at the glasses, he turned into a Taiping Mountain female crown Huang Ting, a Tongyezhou genius female cultivator who was so blessed that even He Xiaoliang was her junior. Chen Ping'an had traveled to Beiju Luzhou before, and he had no chance to meet this female champion who fought to death with Qi Jinglong on the mountain, but according to Qi Jinglong's statement, in fact, the combat power of the two sides was equal, but Huang Ting was a woman in the end, and the two sides fought to the end, and she had no mind of life and death.

At that time, in the restaurant, in addition to the emperor Wei Liang who was in the prime of life, there were also Empress Zhou Shuzhen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wei Yan, the ambitious but failed second prince Wei Yun, and the youngest princess Wei Zhen.

Chen Ping'an has an excellent memory.

That banquet where everyone had their own thoughts, not only everyone's appearance, demeanor and words, but also what wine everyone drank and what dishes they ate, Chen Ping'an remembered it clearly.

The old monk of Xinxiang Temple not far from the alley, the place to eat in the night market of Baihe Temple, the library of the eunuch's house, and the story of the poor scholar and the pipa woman in the Zhuangyuan Lane are still vivid and memorable.

Chong Qiu was silent for a moment, his expression gloomy, "A little disheartened." ”

His tireless pursuit of self-cultivation Qi family rule the country and the world, as if after the truth was revealed, what he did was just someone else stretching out a palm to repeat things, and Chongqiu was a little tired.

I even think, is it really my own mistake, and Yu Zhenyi is right?

Chen Ping'an said slowly: "In the future, in this world, cultivators, mountain spirits, mountain gods, and ghosts will all spring up like mushrooms after a rain." Mr. Chong should not be discouraged, because although I am the nominal owner of this lotus root blessed land, I will not interfere in the trend of the human world. The lotus root blessed land will not be my Chen Ping'an's crop land and big vegetable garden before, and it will not be in the future. If someone happens to go up the mountain and cultivates the Tao, then the Tao is cultivated with peace of mind, and I will not stop it. However, the affairs of the world under the mountain are left to the world to solve by themselves, whether it is war or chaos, whether it is the unification of Haiyan Qingping, the emperors and generals, each by his ability, the temple and the civil and military, each with his conscience. In addition, the matter of the incense gods must be followed by the rules, otherwise the whole world will only accumulate more and more evil, become a miasma, everywhere people are not ghosts, and gods are not immortals. ”

Chong Qiu smiled and asked, "Do you want to see the avenue of the world as a world?"

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, "I didn't think about it deliberately, but when Mr. Chong said this, it was a bit similar." ”

Chong Qiu asked, "What is the situation of the vast world outside?"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while and replied: "People's hearts are still people's hearts." But compared to Nanyuan Country, my hometown, the world, is full of wonders. And there is a sky outside the sky, and there is more than one world. Mr. Chong should go out and take a look, it's okay to be late. ”

Chong Qiu nodded and said: "Before I came to see you, His Majesty the Emperor had officially abdicated and was succeeded by the eldest prince Wei Yan, as for the second prince Wei Yun, he had been detained early by the current emperor, and I had just resigned from the national teacher, but I would not leave immediately, and I planned to go all over this small world first." Chen Ping'an, I hope you can keep your promise, and don't treat the people of this world as puppet playthings, just as goods that can be bought and sold casually. But I don't know how to be pedantic and sour Confucian, I won't only pretend to be a villain, as long as you Chen Ping'an finally formulated the rules, I recognize, then everything will act within the rules in the future, even if I can't bear it, I still won't say anything. ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Actually, there is another way to make Mr. Chong more at ease." ”

Chong Qiu asked, "Do you want me to be the guest secretary?"

Chen Ping'an clasped his hands in his sleeves and walked slowly, without denying it at all, "Mr. Chong is the genius of the Martial Sect Master of the Wen Sage, how can I miss it, no matter what, I have to try it." ”

Chong Qiu said with a smile: "Aren't you having that Zhu Yong by your side? To be honest, among the few people I admire the most in my life, Zhu Yong, the son of the family who turned the tide, is counted as one, and Zhu Yong, the martial madman with pure boxing skills, can still be counted as one." Zhu Yong, who had seen a big living person before, was close at hand, as if he had seen someone walking out of the page, which made people feel absurd. ”

Chen Ping'an said: "Just hang your name in my Luoluo Mountain Patriarch Hall, and don't delay Mr. Chong's future travels, and there will be no restraints." ”

Chong Qiu was puzzled: "Luoluo Mountain?"

Chen Ping'an nodded.

Chong Qiu said: "Good name, then I will put a name on this mountain." ”

Chen Ping'an looked lonely.

Someone once scolded himself when he punched, he was young, lifeless, and lonely, and he was worthy of being the mountain master of Luoluo Mountain.

————

After seeing the first emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, Chen Ping'an took Pei Qian and Zhou Mi Li, said goodbye to Cao Qinglang, and left the lotus root blessed land together.

Chen Ping'an still looks as usual, living on the first floor, practicing boxing and walking in the open space outside the door, practicing behind closed doors, only occasionally going to the second floor to stand in the corridor and look into the distance.

Late that night, Pei Qian sat alone on the top of the steps.

Cui Dongshan slowly climbed the mountain and sat next to her.

Pei Qian glared at the big white goose vigorously, and after a while, he asked softly, "Grandpa Cui is gone, aren't you sad?"

Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "I want you to see my state of mind, you can see it, if you don't want you to see it, then you won't be able to see it in your life." ”

Pei Qian clapped his fist and said with annoyance: "I really don't have a high level of Taoism." ”

Cui Dongshan shook his head and said: "Regarding this matter, putting aside some ancient gods, then I call myself second, and no one dares to call it first." ”

Pei Qian sighed.

The big white goose next to him is indeed quite powerful.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said slowly: "If you don't have anything to do, when the elders leave, they often cry loudly, and their hearts and lungs are in their faces and tears. ”

"Look at those young men with a lot of tears and snot, most of the fathers and elders around them are silent, and at the time of the funeral, they are sent to talk to others, and they can laugh. ”

"This is life, maybe it is the same person, two sorrows on the road of two lives. You don't understand now because you haven't really grown up yet. ”

Pei Qian snorted, "I don't understand this, and I may not understand it in the future, and I don't want to understand it." ”

In Nanyuanguo, a place that she didn't consider her hometown, when her father and mother left one after another, she didn't actually have too much sadness, as if they just took the first step, and she would soon follow, maybe starvation, freezing to death, and being beaten to death, but what about keeping up? Isn't it that they dislike it and are regarded as a burden? So after Pei Qian left the lotus lotus blessed land, even if she wanted to be sad, on the master's side, she couldn't pretend to be it.

But Grandpa Cui is different.

In addition to his own master, Pei Qian really recognizes the elders.

Beat her again and again, she was in pain, and at first she dared to shout that if she didn't practice boxing, she would be beaten harder, and said so many bastard things that made her sad more painful than her injury.

But Pei Qian now knows what is good and what is bad.

She doesn't even use her eyes to peek at people's hearts.

Cui Dongshan looked up at the night, the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to begin, and the moon was reunited.

Cui Dongshan said softly: "So Mr. has never wanted you to grow up, so don't be too anxious." ”

"When you grow up, you will want to take on something yourself, and when the time comes, your master will not be able to stop you, and he will not stop you again. ”

"Do you still remember the time when your master left the Great Sui Academy?"

Pei Qian nodded vigorously, his dark face finally had a little smile, and he said loudly: "Of course, I'm happy, Sister Aquarius is even happier." ”

Cui Dongshan smiled and asked himself: "Why do we all have to join forces and make such a big battle?" Because Mr. knows that maybe the next time we meet, we will never see the little girl in the red cotton jacket in my memory again, with red cheeks, small size, round eyes, and a brittle voice, carrying a small bookcase of just the right size, calling Uncle Xiao. ”

"If you only rely on your eyes, you are destined to never see again. ”

"So I only stayed in my heart, this is the unspeakable regret of adults, I can only put it here and hide it. ”

Cui Dongshan pointed to his heart, and then waved his sleeves slightly, as if he wanted to drive away some worries.

True sorrow is only in the silence.

"These annoying things are things that you will only figure out by yourself when you grow up, but I still want you to listen to them, at least know that there is such a thing. ”

"My grandfather is gone, and my husband is no less sad than me. But the gentleman won't let people know how sad he really is. ”

"Have you ever thought about one thing, why does your master like to put away those used pens, worn straw sandals, bottles and cans that are not worth a few dollars, one by one? Because he has been accustomed to life and death since he was a child, he has been watching others go away, and he can't save many people and things, so if he can stay, then try to keep all of them. In fact, it is not only Mr., all of us will experience all kinds of separations, many of us are like this, but often the past is over, far less attentive than Mr. for a long time, closed doors, carefully hidden, unknown. ”

Pei Qian turned his head and said worriedly, "Then what should Master do?"

Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "Didn't I just say it, Mr. is used to it." ”

Pei Qian stood up, "This is not good! This is not right!"

Cui Dongshan was silent and fell back.

Pei Qian ran all the way down the mountain to the bamboo building.

I found the Master sitting alone at the stone table, with two jugs of wine on the table and some dirt, but the Master did not drink.

Master straightened his waist and clenched his hands into fists, resting lightly on his knees, not knowing what he was thinking.

Pei Qian stood in place and shouted loudly: "Master, don't be sad!"

Chen Ping'an turned his head and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Pei Qian looked at such a master.

Just like his master, when he was young, he looked at Ah Liang under the hat.

Chen Ping'an stood up, moved two small bamboo chairs, and sat down with Pei Qian.

Chen Ping'an said softly: "Pei Qian, Master will be leaving his hometown again soon, you must take care of yourself." ”

Pei Qian nodded and said, "Master also has to take care of himself!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's not that the master is bragging, just talking about the ability to take care of yourself, which is rare in the world." ”

Pei Qian lifted the small bamboo chair under his buttocks with both hands and moved it closer to the master.

One big and one small, looking into the distance together.

On this day, Chen Ping'an was in a golden state.

Disciple Pei Qian is about to become the strongest fourth realm in the world.

The sitting posture, demeanor, and eyes of the master and apprentice are the same.
