Chapter 425: Revisiting the Old Land, Beautiful Water and High Wind
Zhu Yong found that after Chen Ping'an took advantage of the sword and returned to the plank road, he felt something on his body, and something was different.
It's a mystical feeling.
It was only after Zhu Yong and Chen Ping'an got along day and night that he was able to realize this similar subtle change, just like ...... The spring breeze blows and ripples in the pond.
Chen Ping'an asked Pei Qian, who had been waiting for most of the day, to go to bed first, and called Zhu Yong to drink together, and the two sat cross-legged on the cliff outside the plank road, Zhu Yong smiled and asked: "It seems that the young master is a little happy? Is it because the feeling of traveling far away is too good?"
Chen Ping'an asked rhetorically, "Do you remember Cao Ci?"
Zhu Yong said with a smile: "This name, how can the old slave forget, on the side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the young master has lost three games in a row, and the person who can make the young master lose convincingly, the old slave can't wait to meet tomorrow, and then beat him to death with one or two punches and pull him down, saving him from competing with the young master for the world's martial arts in the future, and delaying the young master to enter the legendary eleventh realm, the martial god realm." β
Chen Ping'an didn't care about Zhu Yong's sycophants and jokes, and drank leisurely, "I don't know if it's an illusion, Cao Ci may have broken through the realm again." β
Zhu Yong asked strangely: "Then why does the young master still feel happy? The number one position in the world can't sit on the butts of two people." Of course, now that the young master and that Cao Ci are talking about this, it's too early. β
Chen Ping'an took a small sip of the old Jiao's salivating wine in the sword cultivation gourd, and asked, "You say that we are pure martial arts, practicing boxing and learning martial arts, for what?"
Zhu Yong said with a smile: "Naturally, it is to obtain great liberation and freedom, and if you encounter anything you want to do, you can do it, and when you encounter something you don't want to do, you can say nothing." In the history of the lotus blessed land, the first person in the world, although there will be some differences in their own pursuits, but in this general direction, different paths to the same end. On the right side of Sui, Lu Baixiang, Wei Xian, and I, Zhu Yong, are the same. It's just that the lotus flower blessed land is a small place in the end, and everyone doesn't feel deep about immortality, even if we are already standing at the highest place in the world, we won't think much about it, because we never knew that there was still 'heaven', and the world was much stronger than us. Visiting the immortal asked, at this point, the four of us, Wei Xian has gone the farthest in relative terms, the person who is the emperor, shouts long live to the courtiers and the people, how much will he think long live, long live. β
Chen Ping'an pointed to himself, " In the early years, I didn't tell you too much, I first practiced boxing, because I interrupted the Changsheng Bridge, and I had to rely on practicing boxing to hang my life, so I persevered, and so on according to the agreement, carrying the sword cast by Ruan Qiong, I went to the upside-down hanging mountain to send the sword to Miss Ning, and when I walked a long, long way, I finally walked to the inverted hanging mountain, and I was almost about to finish a million punches, at that time, I actually had some doubts in my heart, and I didn't need to practice boxing in order to survive, and I Chen Ping'an was not the kind of person who liked to compete with others everywhere, what should I do nextοΌβ
"Is it to become the next Zhu He? It's not difficult, or the next Song Yuyao of the Combing Water Country, it's not too difficult, or is it boring to fight another million punches, you can have the luxury of looking forward to the demeanor of the Golden Body Realm martial arts? You know, I was on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the place with the most sword cultivation in the world, where I lived, a few steps away, there lived in the thatched hut with the oldest boss Sword Immortal with the most seniority in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and at my feet, there were words carved by the boss Sword Immortal, and there were also words carved by Ah Liang, do you think I would not want to go to sword practice? β
"That's why I was so eager to rebuild the Changsheng Bridge at that time, and even thought about it, since it's not good to be multitasking, should I just give up practicing boxing, try my best to become a sword cultivator, raise a natal flying sword, and finally become a veritable sword immortal?
Zhu Yong took a big sip of wine, "The old slave and the young master met too late, and they missed the young master's sorrow that may not be there again in the future, so I must take a sip of wine and pour out the regrets in my heart." β
Chen Ping'an raised his head, hugged the sword raising gourd with both hands, patted it gently, and said with a smile: "At that time, I met Cao Ci. So I'm grateful to him, I'm just embarrassed to say it. β
Chen Ping'an pointed to himself again, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the high mountain cliff on the opposite side of the plank road, "Cao Ci may be over there, I'm far away." Although I don't deliberately pursue the first in the martial arts, but I am not a fool, who would like to be the first myself? Of course, I want to be the first, but I just ...... Willing to slow down, just like before I walked on the railing in the treasure building of Ziyang Mansion, I was thinking about a slow word, and I figured out a lot of things, if you trace back to the source, in fact, from the time I was an apprentice to the dragon kiln to learn to pull the blank, in fact, I came into contact with this word, Old Man Yao disliked me for not having talent, never willing to teach me the truth, and even didn't like to talk to me, but at that time I took the kiln as the foundation of my life in the future, what to do, Old Man Yao didn't teach, then I listened to him and Liu Xianyang again and again, There were also speeches from other apprentices, and Old Man Yao told them that their hearts should be fixed, so that their hands could be steady, and they could change from slow and errorless to fast and right. In fact, it's still not, only when I have traveled a long way, seen a lot of people, and many truths that I don't have long feet, will I live in my heart as the Lord of Maoshan said, and the truth will be my own.
"When Cao Ci appeared, I knew, it turned out that among my peers, there were not only Ma Kuxuan, but also Cao Ci, no matter how dazzling Cao Ci was, I would never hate it, not to be jealous of Cao Ci, at most I was a little lost, beside my beloved girl, in front of her, losing to others three times, of course I would be a little unhappy in my heart, so at that time, I made up my mind that one day, no matter how high Cao Ci's martial arts realm is in the future, no matter how outsiders say that he is a martial arts embryo that has never been seen before or since, I will strive to make him lose three games in a rowοΌ
Chen Ping'an's expression was calm, his eyes were shining, "Only on the boxing technique!"
Zhu Yong slapped his thigh, "Strong! The young master's mind is majestic!"
Chen Ping'an patted the sword gourd, looked at the mountain wall opposite, and said with a smile: "I talk about wine and drunkenness." β
Zhu Yong thinks that he is the most understanding of the style, the least will not spoil the scenery, after a jar of new wine mud sealed, put it up, wait is, where is the reason to quickly open it and smell it. So Zhu Yong
began to change the topic, "What does the young master seem to be worried about all the way?"
Chen Ping'an nodded, "You also pay attention to the national situation of Da Li, so it's not surprising that the national teacher Xiuhu is busy laying out the land and collecting nets and fishing elsewhere, why did Cui Dongshan appear in the Mountain Cliff Academy?"
Zhu Yong asked: "The supernatural powers of the Upper Five Realms are unimaginable, and the souls are separated, isn't it strange? β
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "Cui Yun and Cui Dongshan are already two people, and they have begun to walk on different avenues. So, how do you think two people with the same heart and temperament should get along in the future?"
Zhu Yong said with a smile: "With Cui Dongshan's temper, except for the young master, he will never be inferior, even if it is ...... Neither can you. β
Chen Ping'an muttered: "Then how will a person who plays the colorful cloud spectrum play chess with himself?"
Zhu Yong began to frown, his expression was solemn, and he turned his head to look at Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an nodded, "I guess, I'm the chessboard." We probably started playing chess from the moment we arrived in Old Dragon City, and the two of them started playing chess. β
Chen Ping'an stretched out a finger and drew a staggered horizontal and vertical one, "One by one, criss-crossed, the big ones, such as Qingluan Kingdom, and the Mountain Cliff Academy, the small ones, such as the Lion Garden, any Xianjia ferry to Dasui, and the Ziyang Mansion that we passed by recently, are all possible." β
Zhu Yong asked, "Cui Dongshan shouldn't be able to harm the young master, right?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head, "He has been trying his best to help me, no doubt about this." β
Zhu Yong couldn't help but stand up, his figure was stiff, and he said in a deep voice: "This is not a trivial matter!"
Chen Ping'an was still sitting, gently shaking the sword gourd, "Of course it's not a trivial matter, but it doesn't matter, I have come over for a bigger calculation and a more powerful chess game." β
Zhu Yong walked slowly, rubbing his palms together, "You have to think about it." β
Chen Ping'an comforted in turn: "Don't worry, it won't involve life and death, so it can't be the kind of life-and-death battle that fights to the flesh, nor will it be the kind of death situation where a Du Mao suddenly appeared in Old Dragon City." β
Zhu Yong thought about it and frowned, "This is getting more and more tricky, isn't the old slave unable to exert half of his strength? Could it be that when the time comes, he will stare dryly at the side? Then the old slave must not be suffocated." β
Chen Ping'an looked at the opposite cliff, straightened his waist, and hugged the back of his head with both hands, "No matter, take one step at a time." There is no reason to be afraid of going home!"
Zhu Yong looked at Chen Ping'an's side face, "The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth? β
Chen Ping'an sighed for no reason, "I know more about the truth, and occasionally my heart will be confused." β
Chen Ping'an bent down, his palms stacked, and his palms pressed against the top of the sword raiser, "The vertical and horizontal lines on the chessboard are rules, rules and principles are dead, straight forward, but the way of the world will make these straight lines become crooked, and even the lines in some people's hearts will probably become a crooked circle, this is called self-justification, so I have read a lot of books in the world. There will be so many people who are still unreasonable, and there are many people who talk to themselves, and they can live well, because they can be at ease, fixed-minded, and even less bound than people who can abide by the rules, how to live, just do it according to their hearts, as for how to seem reasonable, so that they can live more at ease, or use this to cover up, let themselves live better, three teachings and hundreds of schools, so many books, find a few sentences in the book, temporarily borrow the truth you want and use it, what is difficult, not difficult at all. β
Zhu Yong sighed.
Sitting next to Chen Ping'an again, putting down the wine pot that had been drunk unconsciously, Zhu Yong propped his fists on his knees, and the thin old man with a rickety figure was a little sad.
These heartfelt words, Chen Ping'an and Sui on the right, Wei Xian and Lu Baixiang said, most of the three of them will not be too immersed in it, Sui's right sword heart is clear, focusing on the sword, Wei Xian is the battlefield enemy who sits on the dragon chair, and Lu Baixiang is also the ancestor of the Demon Sect in the Lotus Flower Blessed Land. In fact, it's better to talk to Zhu Yong, it's ...... Interesting.
Zhu Yong seems to have no heart and lungs, big and small things, all are idle things, and he never cares about my heart. But Zhu Yong is the one who has seen the most human beings in the lotus flower blessed land among the four people.
Born in the family of the wealthy lord who has been hairpinned for generations, he knows the real wealth and nobility in the world, and he has seen the emperor and the general at close range. At that time, Zhu Yong was the most prestigious handsome man in the capital, casually a painting of ink treasures, an article, a spring, I don't know how many women in the family were moved, as a result, Zhu Yong was a noble official for a few years, and then found a reason, and ran to study thousands of miles alone, in fact, he was a tour of the mountains and rivers, patted his ass, and went to the rivers and lakes.
mixed up, a prodigal and unruly noble son, inexplicably became the first person in the world, and by the way, he became the hurdle that countless martial arts fairies and women in the hearts of rivers and lakes couldn't pass.
After the scuffle of various countries, the mountains and rivers were broken, Zhu Yong withdrew from the rivers and lakes and returned to the family, threw himself into the battlefield, and became a Confucian general born out of thin air, six years of military career, Zhu Yong only used the art of war, did not rely on martial arts, turned the tide, and forced the general to support a fallen building for many years, but the general trend, even if Zhu Yong devoted himself to assisting a prince for several years, personally presiding over the government, still could not change the ending of the country's ruin, Zhu Yong finally settled the family, he returned to the rivers and lakes again, and was always alone.
According to Zhu Yong's own words, when he was forty or fifty years old, he was still suave, and the taste of an old man's wine was still the "Zhu Lang" in the minds of countless cardamom girls.
Chen Ping'an said: "Next, we will pass by a mansion where a female ghost sits, with a plaque of 'Mountain High and Water Show', I plan to take you with me, let Shi Rou take Pei Qian, bypass that mountain, and go directly to a place called Red Candle Town to wait for us." β
Zhu Yong was eager to try, and asked with a smile: "Well, the young master mentioned this stubble before, but he didn't elaborate on it at the time, and now it seems that it belongs to the kind that is dangerous, not dangerous?"
Chen Ping'an nodded, "There is a female ghost in a wedding dress living in that mansion, when I passed by with the treasure bottle, there were some festivals, so I thought about ending it." β
Zhu Yong said suddenly: "No wonder the young master recently asked Shi Rou in detail, some natal spells of the genus of yin ghosts, and he also stopped and stopped, just to nourish his spirit, he wrote down so many yellow paper talismans." β
Chen Ping'an suddenly raised his palm, "Shut up." β
Zhu Yong is stupid, he is worthy of being his own young master, and he understands himself.
Last time, I didn't ask the young master what the appearance of the ghost in the wedding dress was, is it beautiful or ugly, fat or thin? Zhu Yong has been itching.
After all, in the blessed land of lotus flowers, there is no beautiful female ghost who has made a family in a tomb admires herself, and when she arrives in the world, how can she miss it?
However, the water god Niangniang of the Baihu River is similar to Shi Rou, a god and a female ghost, who don't seem to look down on herself, Zhu Yong rubbed his chin, and said indignantly: "What's the matter, the women here, whether they are ghosts or gods, like to judge people by their appearance?"
Chen Ping'an picked up the sword gourd, "Let's go." β
Zhu Yong glanced at the wine jug at his feet, and said with a bitter face: "Young master, my wine jug is empty." β
Zhu Yong licked his face and rubbed his hands, "Young master, don't worry about the amount of alcohol that the old slave drinks, in Pei Qian's words, it's a problem! Another pot, just quenched your thirst, two pots, slightly drunk, three pots, and you'll be happy." β
Chen Ping'an smiled, opened his mouth wide, shook his head, made an inhalation movement, and then turned his head and gloated with a look of schadenfreude: "Drink the northwest wind, go to you." β
Zhu Yong held back for a long time, planning to be a loyal minister who gave a death advice, and didn't want to be that flattering and traitorous to death, and said with a righteous attitude: "Young master, such a bad joke, it's really hard for the old slave to make a sycophant." β
Chen Ping'an's heart moved slightly, took out a pot of wine from the nearby objects, threw it to Zhu Yong, and asked, "Zhu Yong, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Zhu Yong took the wine and said without thinking: "Good man." β
Chen Ping'an smiled: "This wine is not given to you in vain. β
Zhu Yong shook his head and said, "Even if there is no such pot of wine, it is also said like this." β
Chen Ping'an said to himself: "I'm a good person." β
Zhu Yong laughed heartily, "Young master, just let me say sycophancy again, don't take it seriously." Drink and drink!"
An old man in Zhong Mingding's food house, a young man with muddy legs in an alley, neither of them actually took the distinction between master and servant to heart, and drank wine slowly by the cliff.
Zhu Yong wiped his mouth, and suddenly said, "Young master, the old slave will sing you a hometown song?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay." β
Zhu Yong hurriedly took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and then began to hum, shaking his head, it was the official language of a court that had long since died in the lotus flower blessed land.
Chen Ping'an naturally didn't understand, but Zhu Yong hummed leisurely and was intoxicated, even if he didn't know the content, Chen Ping'an still listened to it with a unique charm.
After Zhu Yong finished singing, he asked, "Young Master, what's the matter?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." β
Zhu Yong shook the wine jug with half a pot of wine left, "If the young master can reward another pot, the old slave will sing it in the official dialect of Da Li." β
Chen Ping'an didn't say a word, and directly threw a pot to Zhu Yong.
Zhu Yong put the pot of wine aside and hummed softly, "The spring night lights and candles are like human eyes, seeing that lady fades the buttons, the green onion fingers twist the Luo belt knot, the crisp chest is white and snowy like a peak, the belly is soft, the poor candlelight is not visible, the back is smooth and the waist is tightened, and the big gourd is hung, the little lady, thinking about the long journey has not returned to the heart, the heart is like a deer, and the heart and liver are thousands of knots...... The lady twisted her waist and looked back at the double pillows, covering the top of the mountain with her hands and complaining, since a moment is worth a thousand gold, who will earn ten thousand taels?"
Zhu Yong stopped, took a sip of wine, and felt more enjoyable.
Chen Ping'an asked, "Is this the end?"
Zhu Yong was very surprised, and said in a daze: "The young master didn't even have the idea of beating me?"
Chen Ping'an sneered: "I have walked through so many rivers and lakes, I have seen the world, what is this, I used to walk the dragon river under the ground, I took a fairy ferry, and the immortals in the cabin above my head fought regardless of day, hehe." β
This is called hindsight, in fact, it is still due to Zhu Yong, and of course, the long time of the lotus blessed land.
Zhu Yong asked, "Give it to you?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Yes, but return the pot of wine to me first." β
Zhu Yong hesitated for a moment and handed the flask to Chen Ping'an.
After Chen Ping'an collected the goods at hand, "It was really a tragic battle." β
Zhu Yong waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the following, "No?"
Chen Ping'an stood up, "Otherwise?"
Zhu Yong hurriedly got up and followed Chen Ping'an, "Young master, return the wine to me!" It's just such a pitiful few words, saying it is equivalent to not saying it, it's not worth a pot of wine!"
Chen Ping'an ignored Zhu Yong.
On the plank road, a figure flipped and walked upside down with the heaven and earth piles.
Zhu Yong stood in place, annoyed. Suddenly turning his head to look at Shi Rou who had forgotten to practice, Zhu Yong grinned.
Shi Rou opened her eyes and said angrily, "Get away!"
Zhu Yong raised his hand, picked up his orchid finger, and waved it lightly at Shi Rou, "I hate it." β
Shi Rou is disgusting.
Suddenly, after a startling glance, she was stunned.
It turned out that Zhu Yong pressed one finger on his sideburns and made two movements, one tearing and the other wiping, and stayed for a moment during the period.
The old man tugged at the corners of Shi Rou's mouth, then turned around, put his hands behind his back, walked slowly, and began to walk alone in the night.
Only one of the old year's dry bones and ghosts who seemed to have seen a ghost was left.
In the distance, Zhu Yong said, "What do you mean?" β
ββββ
After walking the plank road, crossing the border between Nanyuan and the Dali Dynasty, between a majestic mountain range, Chen Ping'an and Zhu Yong walked on the mountain road.
Shi Rou has already taken Pei Qian to make a detour, and will follow the embroidered river to Red Candle Town, and when the time comes, the two sides will converge there. It's just that Chen Ping'an asked Shi Rou to carry Pei Qian on his back and he could use his magical powers, so it was no surprise that Shi Rou Pei Qian must have arrived in that Red Candle Town earlier.
Chen Ping'an smiled and talked about an old story, it was on this mountain road that he met three masters and apprentices, a crippled young man, carrying the dilapidated banner of "subduing demons and catching ghosts, eliminating demons and guarding the road", and as a result, he became a difficult brother and brother, and they all caught the ghost in the wedding dress and went to the mansion where countless red lanterns were hung. Fortunately, in the end, both sides were safe and sound, and when they separated, the shabby old Taoist priest also sent a picture of the ancestral search of the mountain, but the three masters and apprentices passed by Longquan County, but did not stay in the town, and they met with Ruan Xiu girl at the shop side of the Dragon Lane, and finally continued to go north to the capital of Dali, saying that they were going to try their luck there.
Deliberately chose a twilight time to climb the mountain, and after walking to the mountain path where the ghost hit the wall, Chen Ping'an stopped and looked around, nothing unusual.
Chen Ping'an carried the sword fairy and the bamboo box on his back, and felt that he was like half a scholar.
However, the female ghost in the wedding dress was unmoved, this is also normal, at the beginning of the Fengxue Temple Wei Jin broke the canopy with a sword, and there was a heroic Xu weak appearance, presumably the female ghost in the wedding dress who had suffered a big loss, now he doesn't dare to indiscriminately mutilate the passers-by.
Chen Ping'an thought for a while and said to Zhu Yong: "You go to the high place in the sky to see if you can see that mansion, but I don't think it's very likely, there will definitely be a way to cover it." β
Zhu Yong rose from the ground and traveled far away to the realm of martial arts, that's it, you can go to all corners of heaven and earth.
After a while, Zhu Yong fell back to the trail, shook his head and said, "I really can't see it, and I have to waste two talismans from the young master." β
Chen Ping'an smiled and took out two talismans, the Yang Qi Lantern Charm and the Landscape Barrier Breaking Talisman, which were twisted separately, both of which were painted on the yellow paper in the stack of talisman paper given by Li Xisheng.
The accumulated aura from the qi mansion where the golden gall in the body was located was poured into one of the yang qi lantern talismans.
The flame is minimal.
Chen Ping'an swept up the branches of the woods, circled, carefully observed the burning speed and the size of the flames of the fingertip lantern talisman, and finally determined a general direction.
Relying on the guidance of the lantern charm, he went to find the landscape barrier of the mansion, just like a layman who walked at night with a lantern and illuminated the road with a lantern in his hand.
Finally, Chen Ping'an came to a mountain wall, the flames suddenly exploded, Chen Ping'an shook his wrist, the charm of the mountain barrier breaking charm was filled with aura, and it was bright, Chen Ping'an pasted this talisman to the mountain wall, and the vision changed sharply, the mountain wall was like snow and fire, quickly melted, and a palm-sized hole appeared.
By the time the landscape barrier breaking charm burned near, the hole had become the size of the courtyard gate, and Chen Ping'an and Zhu Yong stepped into it.
In the col of the ancient trees, Chen Ping'an was still holding the Yang Qi lantern talisman that still had most of it, and swept forward with Zhu Yong.
Zhu Yong didn't touch the ground and followed behind Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an did not elaborate on the grievance with the ghost in the wedding dress.
But Zhu Yong had never been in Chen Ping'an before, and he saw Chen Ping'an so really persistent about a "little thing".
In order to see the ghost in the wedding dress, Chen Ping'an made many arrangements and means in advance, Zhu Yong had experienced the changes in the old Dragon City with Chen Ping'an, and felt that Chen Ping'an was also very cautious in the dust pharmacy, no matter how big or small, they were all weighing, but the two were similar, but they were not all, for example, Chen Ping'an seemed to be waiting for this day, he had been waiting for a long time, when this day really came, Chen Ping'an's mentality was more strange, just like ...... The boxing in the shape of his ape, every time there is a big fight, before he shoots, he must collapse and shrink first, instead of the spirit of an ordinary pure martial artist, and the fist intent is poured out.
The Yang Qi Flame Talisman burned faster, when the last bit of ash fell.
The two finally stood in a square, and in front of them was the majestic mansion hanging like an immortal writing "Xiushui High Wind" plaque, and there were two huge stone lions at the door.
Chen Ping'an narrowed his eyes and looked up at the plaque.
There was once a female ghost in a bright red wedding dress, floating there.
She's infatuated, she's been a good ghost, and she's always had her own reason.
It is said that there was a scholar who first walked at night and recited the sages' poems aloud on the mountain road to strengthen his courage, and she was seen in her eyes.
The scholar and the female ghost, the two are different from yin and yang, but they still love each other, and she still willingly wears the red wedding dress.
Chen Ping'an tugged at the corners of his mouth.
There is no difference between intimacy and intimacy, this is what Chen Ping'an said himself.
If you are unreasonable, you can be happy, how to live and how to live better, it is your own way, but one day you meet someone who is reasonable and has a harder fist than you, then you will have a good birth in the next life, which is also what Chen Ping'an said.
Chen Ping'an
Zhu Yong couldn't help but turn his head.
Rao is Zhu Yong, a martial artist who travels far away, and he feels a strange momentum from Chen Ping'an.
This is the atmosphere of the Great Perfection of the Five Realms of Pure Martial Arts?
Like the moon rising into the sky.
But this is nothing, compared to this kind of thing that still belongs to the category of martial arts, Zhu Yong is more shocked by the appearance of Chen Ping'an's mood and momentum.
The bright moon is like a pearl held by a dragon.
