This Xianjia ferry will not go directly to Dali Longquan County, after all, Baozhai has been evacuated from Niujiao Mountain, and the ferry port has almost been completely deserted, nominally temporarily requisitioned by the Dali military, but it is not a hub, there are few ferries, and most of them are Dali magnates who come to Longquan County to visit the landscape, after all, Longquan County is now in ruins, and there is gossip, Longquan County, which has a vast jurisdiction, is about to be promoted from the county to the state, which means that in the Dali officialdom, there are more than a dozen seats with a high rank out of thin air, just like the "Beijing official" of an ordinary small vassal country, now once he is released to serve as a vassal in the south, the official will be promoted to one level, which is a certainty.

The ferry boat that Chen Ping'an took would dock at a ferry port in a small country called Qianqi Country, which has many mountain ranges, weakened national strength, barren land, ten miles of different customs, and a hundred miles of different sounds, and it is a peaceful place where the big Li iron riders have not set foot in. The ferry is mastered by a mountain cave, the owner of Fuyin Cave, is not only the national teacher of the Thousand Gully Country, but also the leader of the Immortal Master of a country, but the spectrum of the entire Thousand Gully Country is only dozens of immortal masters, and the national teacher of the Thousand Gully Country is only cultivated in the Longmen Realm, the disciples in the door, three or two kittens and puppies, not into the climate, the reason why they can have a fairy ferry, or the Fuyin Cave, was one of the ruins of the ancient broken cave, which has several kinds of production, which can be exported to the south, but all the money earned is hard money, and there are few small summer money all year round, and there are no foreign monks coveting this place。

Chen Ping'an plans to go back to Longquan County first, and then go to Caiyi Country and Comb Water Country to go through, many matters in his hometown, he urgently needs to go back and make a personal decision, after all, there are some things, you need to come forward in person, personally deal with the Dali court, like buying a mountain, Wei Yan can help, but can not replace Chen Ping'an and Dali to sign a new "land deed".

This way, there are a few twists and turns, there are a group of immortal masters from Qingfeng City, who feel that there is an ordinary horse, which can occupy a place at the bottom of the ferry, and be in the company of the spirit birds and beasts they carefully raise and train, it is a kind of humiliation, so they are a little dissatisfied, and they want to toss a little trick, of course, the method is relatively hidden, but fortunately, Chen Ping'an named the horse in private and nicknamed it "Qu Huang" Beloved horses, take good care, often let the flying sword fifteen quietly sweep away, so as not to have accidents, you must know that in the past few years, Chen Ping'an is very grateful to this loving horse.

Therefore, when Qu Huang was frightened at the bottom of the ferry, Chen Ping'an felt that he first let the fifteenth day of the first month directly turn into nothing, penetrate the layers of decks, and directly reach the bottom cabin, blocking the bite of a strange beast on the mountain to Qu Huang.

Chen Ping'an then rushed to it, but was stopped by the ferry handyman guarding the bottom of the ferry, Chen Ping'an knew it in his heart, reached out and grabbed the young man's shoulder, half dragged and half dragged to the place where Qu Huang was, when Chen Ping'an, who was indifferent, walked into it, all the spirit birds and beasts trembled, crawling on the ground, especially the strange beast near Qu Huang, the whole body was as black as ink, only the four-legged snow white, like a dog, but the size was as big as a calf, according to the book of immortals purchased from the inverted hanging mountain, it should be one of the descendants of the ancient fierce beast mountain dog, otherwise the real mountain dog will not appear variegated, but the mountain dog is in a vein, and the temperament is violent, which is somewhat similar to the mountain moving ape。

When the spirit beast of the descendant of the mountain dog saw Chen Ping'an, it was even more frightened than the rest of the tame spirit beasts in the cabin, and curled up with its tail between its legs.

Chen Ping'an let go of the shoulders of the ferry handyman, the man rubbed his shoulders, and said with a flattering smile: "This son, most of the time your horse and the beast next door have a bad temper and have a conflict, this is a common thing on the ferry, I will separate them, and give the son a nest for the horse, there will definitely be no more accidents." ”

Chen Ping'an glanced at the fence between Qu Huang and the descendants of the mountain dog, which was empty.

Between the cage fences, there should have been some low-grade talismans, once the spirit birds and beasts crossed the thunder pool, the ban would be triggered as soon as possible, so that the ferry side came forward to "persuade the fight", but the birds and beasts that can be taken on the ferry by the monk are more spiritual, and will not cause trouble to the master, otherwise the wealth will be ruined, and the road of the cultivator will be broken, and once the problem that money cannot be solved, it will be a disaster.

It's just that in the eyes of the owner of the descendants of this mountain dog, a roadside cargo who can lead a horse to board the boat, what can he do if he provokes it?

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and touched Qu Huang's head, which lightly stepped on the ground, but there was not much panic.

In the mountains south of Shujian Lake, Qu Huang followed Chen Ping'an to see the world.

Chen Ping'an withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Are you trying to damage my avenue?"

The ferry handyman was stunned for a moment, guessing that the owner of the horse was very likely to ask the master for the crime, but he didn't expect that he would be so on the line. Is it to rip off money?

That's good.

The young handyman was overjoyed and longed for a fight.

Anyway, no matter what the origin, no matter why this person can make those beasts shudder, as long as you provoke the monks of Qingfeng City, you can have good fruits to eat?

The group of immortal masters in Qingfeng City have always been the distinguished guests of this ferry, and they are very familiar with each other, because of the production of the Fuyin Cave of the Thousand Gully Country, some of the spiritual wood is loved by the fox hill fox charm that seems to be a small country of the dynasty, so this kind of spiritual wood that can moisten the fox skin is almost wrapped up by the immortal master on the side of Qingfeng City, and then sold to the Xu family, which is double the profit. If you want to say why the Xu family of Qingfeng City didn't go on this trip in person, the ferry side also asked curiously, and the monk of Qingfeng City laughed, saying that the Xu family would care about this point and others to earn this little profit from them?

A group of immortal masters dressed in snow-white fox furs slowly walked into the cabin on the ground floor, a little dazzling.

The fox fur of Qingfeng City can not only keep warm in winter, but also dispel the heat in summer, it is nothing more than a thick and thin, but in summer, wearing a fox fur, no matter how thin, it is still awkward to look at, but this is a kind of talisman for monks to walk under the mountain, and the face of Qingfeng City is still not small in the northern area of Aquarius. Especially now the head of the Xu family in Qingfeng City, it is said that he has a great opportunity, his Taoist companion, from Lizhu Dongtian to help him get a heavy treasure Qizi armor, a hundred feet further, the family also has a big Li Taiping no matter card, the rise of the Xu family in Qingfeng City, unstoppable.

Chen Ping'an didn't say a word, he was still a loose fist fight, a sick man, but he came to the front of the monks in a few steps, knocked down one with a punch, and there was a girl with a round face, who rolled her eyes on the spot and fainted to the ground, and finally only a handsome boy in the middle was left, sweat oozed from his forehead, and his lips moved slightly, he shouldn't know whether to say something hard or soft.

Chen Ping'an stood in front of him with his hands in his sleeves and asked some inside story about Qingfeng City.

After all, whether it is the Xu family of Qingfeng City or the moving ape of Zhengyang Mountain, they all have an old account on Chen Ping'an's heart, and Chen Ping'an will not turn the page with both sides even if he walks through Shujian Lake again.

The pampered young monk, when he saw that the people close to him and his personal servants had fallen to the ground, he didn't care whether he had face or not, whether he had wind bones or not, and poured beans from the bamboo tube, and he knew everything and said everything.

Chen Ping'an asked in detail, and the young monk answered seriously.

For example, Mr. Teaching is asking about the schoolwork.

The ferry handyman who guarded the cabin on the ground floor, after seeing this scene, was a little in a trance, what is going on? Doesn't it all say that the immortal masters and monks who came out of Qingfeng City are all powerful?

Chen Ping'an turned his head and looked at the handyman who was thinking about it in his heart, and at the same time slapped his palm on the forehead of the young monk behind him, and plopped, and the latter fell straight back.

This is called sharing difficulties.

Chen Ping'an looked at the handyman with a panicked face and asked, "Can you get the fairy money if you help do this kind of thing?"

The young handyman shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, I didn't take a single snowflake money, I just wanted to be courteous and familiar with these immortal masters, maybe they would casually mention a few words in the future, and I would have a way to make money." ”

Chen Ping'an asked, "Who came up with the idea?"

The young handyman said without hesitation: "It's the idea of the immortal masters of Qingfeng City, I just take a hand and ask the immortal master to forgive me......"

Chen Ping'an stomped his foot slightly, the young boy's body flicked, and he woke up in a daze, Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "This brother on the ferry, you said that the idea of murdering my horses was from you, what do you say?"

The young man of Qingfeng City was furious, sat on the ground, and began to curse.

Chen Ping'an walked out of the cabin on the ground floor and said with a smile to the young man, "Don't kill anyone." ”

The young man struggled to his feet, and walked towards the ferry handyman with a cruel smile, "Good fellow, dare to pit Lao Tzu, don't peel off a layer of skin from you......"

The young man suddenly turned his head to look, at the door of the cabin, the man in green shirt was stopping, turning his head to look, he quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't kill people, don't dare to kill people, just give this bad kind a long memory." ”

Chen Ping'an walked out of the cabin.

The wicked have their own grinding.

It's hard to say who is more evil, the monk of Qingfeng City, or the miscellaneous servant.

However, deep down in Chen Ping'an's heart, he actually hates the ferry handyman with weak hands and feet, but in his future life, he will still have no good way to deal with these "weak people". On the contrary, in the face of those arrogant mountain monks, Chen Ping'an had more opportunities to make a move. Just like Han Jingling, the prince of Shihao Kingdom who met on a snowy night back then, said that he would kill him. I can't say that I won't say anything about the prince in the future, if I really get to the lawless Beiju Luzhou, the emperor can kill it.

Chen Ping'an came to the bow of the ferry, held on to the railing, and walked slowly.

Zhengyang Mountain and Qingfeng City are now very prosperous.

Especially the former, after the first person under the five realms of Aquarius was dissolved, Li Shujing has become more and more powerful, and the Wind Thunder Garden is destined to be a long dormant period of enduring humiliation in the past hundred years. If the new garden master Jian Xiu Huang River, as well as Liu Baqiao, cannot quickly enter the Yuanying Realm, and in the next hundreds of years, I am afraid that he will be suppressed by Zhengyang Mountain and unable to breathe.

As for the Xu clan in Qingfeng City, he sold the mountain of Longquan County at a low price before, and it was obvious that he was more optimistic about the Zhu Ying Dynasty and Guanhu Academy, but now that the situation was clear, he hurried to make amends, according to the young monk's statement, at the end of last year, he had a relationship with the Yuan family of Shangzhu State, and there was a side branch of the in-law outside the long house, the daughter of the Xu family, and she married a concubine of the Yuan family in Dali Capital, and the Xu family of Qingfeng City also vigorously funded an iron horse controlled by the children of the Yuan family.

Take a look.

Whether it's friend or foe, everyone is busy.

On the avenue, everyone is vying to be the first.

When Chen Ping'an thought of his situation, he laughed at himself.

In one fell swoop, he broke through the bottleneck of the five realms of pure martial arts and entered the six realms, this is something that can be easily done before Chen Ping'an entered Shujian Lake, at that time, he was close to his hometown, and he wanted to show the old man surnamed Cui of Luoluo Mountain, after the strongest three realms that you fought out of by yourself, he relied on himself to fight more than one million punches, and finally had the strongest martial artist in the world. Chen Ping'an didn't pay much attention to the gift of martial arts, even if he had the same chance as the Yunhai Jiaolong of the Old Dragon City, he should still be beaten back.

I never thought that this delay would be nearly three years.

As for the completion of the Five Elements Natal Objects and the reconstruction of the Immortal Bridge, it is not to be mentioned, according to Ah Liang, that is, "I have a watermelon skin swordsmanship, and the sword is where it slides, and it follows the fate."

Chen Ping'an smiled.

Turning his head, he saw the group of Qingfeng City monks who came to apologize, Chen Ping'an ignored it, and after the other party was roughly sure that Chen Ping'an had no idea of not reluctantly, he left in a huff.

Later, the owner of the ferry also came to confess, and swore that he would severely punish the troublesome servant.

Chen Ping'an didn't pay much attention to it, just said that he had learned a lesson.

The ferry docked at the Fuyin Cave Mansion in Qianqi Country, and if it was in the past, Chen Ping'an would have buried his head in the road. But this time, Chen Ping'an still went to visit the owner of Fuyin Cave, maybe he knew about the turmoil on the ferry, the old monk of Longmen Realm, the dignified national teacher of the Thousand Gully, is still very enthusiastic, Chen Ping'an was cheeky, and asked some rough inside story after the broken heaven and earth, the old monk is no stranger to this, after all, Fuyin Cave is still a little famous, although the size is only more than ten miles away, the secret treasures and immortal relics have also been dug up and hollowed out by the predecessors early, the aura of the cave is not too abundant, and later by chance, the old monk entered this place, as a place of cultivation, spreading branches and leaves, facing visitors from all walks of life, he has his own set of polite wording, what can be said in detail, what should not be said is absolutely not said. As soon as the old monk heard that Chen Ping'an was a member of the Da Li family, he became more and more enthusiastic, and he had to keep Chen Ping'an for a few days, Chen Ping'an shirked it, and the old monk gave a nine-palace grid treasure box as a parting gift, which was carved from a few pieces of Fuyin Cave specialties and made up nine grids, in fact, the price is not high, the market price of a thousand gullies, about 20 snowflakes, for the secular dynasty, of course, it is a sky-high price, but in the eyes of the monks on the mountain, it is not a rare and heavy gift.

After Chen Ping'an accepted the small treasure box, he gave back a pot of Bee Tail Crossing Water Well Immortal Brew in Fuyin Cave, the old monk of Longmen Realm heard that it was the wine brew of the Bee Tail Crossing, and he was very happy, and invited Chen Ping'an to pass through the Thousand Gully Country next time, no matter what, he would come to Fuyin Cave to sit here, such as the Shui Jing Immortal brewed such a mellow wine, no, but the Thousand Gully Country has some unique scenery that is not available elsewhere, and I dare not say that the monk will linger, if you only watch it once, it will definitely be worth the trip, he is a joke The National Teacher of the Thousand Gully Country, is willing to accompany Chen Ping'an to travel together。

The old monk personally sent Chen Ping'an to the border of the Thousand Gullies Country, and then returned home.

There was a young disciple beside him, a little puzzled, wondering why the master had to go to such great lengths, the old monk of Longmen Realm sighed with emotion: "On the road of cultivation, as long as you can make a good relationship, no matter how big or small, don't miss it." ”

The young disciple seemed to have realized something, but the old monk was afraid that the disciple would go astray, so he had to remind him loudly: "At your age, you still have to practice diligently, concentrate on enlightenment, and don't be too distracted by human feelings and sophistication, just know the stakes, and one day when you are as corrupt as the master and can't walk the mountain road, you will come back to do these things." As for the so-called master, in addition to teaching you the Dao, you should also do these helpless things that may not be in line with your heart, so that the disciples in the sect can follow the path of cultivation in the future, and go wider and wider. ”

The old monk rubbed his disciple's head and sighed: "Last time you went down the mountain alone to practice, and those absurd behaviors with the children of the powerful people of the Thousand Gullies Country, Master has actually been by the side, looking at it in his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that you were acting on the spot, thinking that it was good to win over the relationship, in fact, the master would not like it, otherwise the master would be disappointed in you, cultivators, you should know what the true foundation of your life is, where you need to care about those red dust and human feelings, what is the meaning? ”

The young disciple was terrified in his heart.

The old monk smiled: "Just take this opportunity to break through the obstacle in your heart." It won't be in vain to waste the twenty snowflakes that Master gave out. ”

The young disciple bowed, "The teacher's kindness is deep, and Wan Jun must be remembered in his heart." ”

The mountain master of Fuyin Cave stroked his beard and smiled, and walked together on the ridge path with a wide field of vision with a proud disciple with high hopes.

Chen Ping'an rode on horseback with a sword and continued north from the northern border of the Thousand Gully Kingdom.

Of course, he couldn't guess that he had visited the Fuyin Cave Mansion earlier, and asked an old monk of the Dragon Gate Realm to take the opportunity to wake up a mantle disciple.

In a slanting wind and drizzle, Chen Ping'an rode alone, handed over the pass, and successfully passed the Dali border pass.

This time, when I returned to Longquan County, I chose a new road, and did not take the line of Red Candle Town and Qidun Mountain.

Along the way, the heavy rain was in vogue, and the humid and hot air was abnormally steamy, which made Chen Ping'an almost mistakenly think that he was walking in the summer time when Shujian Lake was like a steamer.

However, it is hot in the summer and cool in autumn.

Crickets hiss at night.

During the period, under the ancient pine on the top of a mountain, the sun was setting, and I saw a heroic scribe with a bare chest and belly, holding a feather fan, surrounded by beautiful maids, the sound of warblers and swallows, and further away, there were two old men who breathed long, obviously both of whom were cultivators.

Chen Ping'an led the horse by, not squinting.

After going to the top of the mountain, Chen Ping'an was a little sad, in the past, the scholars of Da Li, even if they were scholars who had been able to enter the Mountain Cliff Academy to study, still sharpened their heads one by one and went to Guanhu Academy, or to the Great Sui, to the Lu Dynasty, after all, Da Li couldn't keep people. According to Cui Dongshan, in the Dali literary world at that time, before the scholars quarreled or put pen to paper, they did not mention the names of a few scholars from other countries, did not open a few books of writers from other countries, and did not find a few relatives in the literary circles of other countries.

I don't know what the situation of Dali Shilin is today.

In fact, Chen Ping'an was not interested.

Approaching dusk, Chen Ping'an finally passed through several post stations in the east of Longquan County, and then entered the town, the wooden fence gate no longer exists, the town has been surrounded by a stone city wall, there is no access control and military guards at the door, let people enter and exit, Chen Ping'an passed the door, and found that Zheng Dafeng's thatched hut is still standing alone on the side of the road, compared with the neatly planned shops nearby, it seems a little eye-catching, it is estimated that the price has not been negotiated, Zheng Dafeng is not willing to move, the ordinary town portal, naturally dare not compete with the Longquan County Government and the county government in the town in the north, Zheng Dafeng has nothing to dare, there must be one less copper coin。

Chen Ping'an was supposed to arrive in the town ten years later, but he was a little faster later, so he was a lot ahead of schedule.

At the beginning of entering the customs, he sent a letter to Luoluo Mountain through the border post station, telling them the approximate date of his return.

Chen Ping'an didn't go to the ancestral house in Mud Bottle Lane first, led the horse across the stone bridge, and went to the grave of his father, still took out a cotton bag full of soil from all over the country, adding soil to the grave, not long after the Qingming Festival, there were still some slightly faded red hanging paper on the grave, pressed on the flat stone, it seems that Pei Qian's girl has not forgotten her instructions.

This way, most of them are unfamiliar faces, and it is not surprising that the local people of the town have moved to the new county town of Longquan in the north of the west mountain, almost everyone has lived in a new and bright high-door household, and there is a pair of big stone lions guarding the courtyard at the door of every house, and there are also expensive drum stones at the most unfortunate point, which are not worse than Fulu Street and Taoye Lane of the year, and those who are still in the town are mostly old people who are old and unwilling to relocate, and they are guarding the alleys and alleys that are becoming deserted, and then there are many new neighbors who have bought a house but can't see each other all year round, even if they meet, they are also chickens and ducks, and they can't understand each other's words。

Chen Ping'an returned to the town like this, and walked to the mud bottle alley that had hardly changed at all, but this alley is now uninhabited, and the few remaining families have moved to the new county town, sold their ancestral houses to outsiders, and got a large sum of silver that they could never dream of, even if they bought a big mansion in the county town, it is still enough to worry about food and clothing for several lifetimes. Gu Can's ancestral house was not sold, but his mother also settled in the county town and bought one of the largest mansions in the county town, with a deep courtyard, small bridges and flowing water, and wealth and grandeur.

Chen Ping'an took out a bunch of keys from the square inch, opened the courtyard door, and let Qu Huang loosen the reins in the small courtyard and let it stay by itself.

Chen Ping'an opened the door, it was still the same, small, did not add any big items, moved an old bench, sat at the table for a while, Chen Ping'an stood up, walked out of the courtyard, looked at the door god and the Spring Festival couplets again, and then stepped into the courtyard and looked at the spring word.

Twilight was dreary.

Chen Ping'an sat at the table and lit a lamp.

Thinking of sitting for a while, I will go to Luoluo Mountain and surprise them.

Just sat for a while and for a while, Chen Ping'an still didn't get up, he just wanted to sit for a while.

All the joys and sorrows start here. No matter how many years you have traveled thousands of miles or traveled abroad, you can only be truly at ease when you land here.

After his father and mother left, Liu Xianyang often lay on the bed here, talking nonsense about longing for the distance, and the little slugs often complained about the unreasonableness of those adults here.

Parents are not far away, and there must be a way to travel. My parents are gone, and I have to travel in a good way.

On the side of Red Candle Town, which is not close to Longquan County, Pei Qian took the boy in Tsing Yi and the girl in the pink skirt, sitting on a high roof, looking into the distance, and the three of them bet who would see that figure first.

On Luoluo Mountain, the barefoot old man is closing his eyes on the second floor to recuperate.

Zhu Yong began to appreciate the talisman characters on the bamboo floor repeatedly.

The female ghost Shi Rou sat bored on a bamboo chair under the eaves, and when she arrived at Luoluo Mountain, she was bound everywhere and uncomfortable.

The top of Phiyun Mountain.

Da Li Beiyue Zhengshen Wei Yan and the old Jiao of Huang Tingguo stood side by side, one smiling leisurely and the other looking solemn.

Overlooking the town in the distance.

In an alley, a grain of light is faint.

Shine brightly.
