Chapter 454: The Bright Moon Shines in the Sky
The river flows outside the window, for a long time, lying on the windowsill Chen Ping'an squinted for a while, and his spirit was soothed, which is a rare thing, Chen Ping'an has no sweet sleep, too long and too long.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi have not yet returned, and Chen Ping'an is still a little worried.
As he expected, he saw the ventilation report Zhang Jing, returned to Shujian Lake and then left Qingxia Island, this trip from Liuguan to Meihua Country, along the way there were indeed shadows, some people followed far behind, the realm was extremely high, and the hiding was very deep, so that Chen Ping'an only occasionally had a slight feeling in his heart, Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were kept in the dark from beginning to end, Chen Ping'an did not break it, saving them from worrying, easy to expose the horse's feet, causing unnecessary trouble.
Even if the other party did not show the slightest kindness or hostility, it still made Chen Ping'an feel like a man.
There were only a handful of monks who could do this before, Liu Laocheng of the Jade Pu Realm disdained this, and Liu Zhimao, the old Yuanying, would not do this.
Da Li Song is reluctant to make extraneous branches, and Chen Ping'an is a Da Li family after all, Lu Baixiang and others have entered the Da Li edition, even if the Da Li high-level outside Cui Qi is ready to move, such as the henchman of the palace lady, he definitely does not have the courage to do anything in the chess game of Shujian Lake, because this is under Cui Yun's nose, and Cui Qi acts, the most important rules, of course, Da Li's rules, from the temple to the military, to the mountain, almost all of them are formulated by Cui Yun.
Chen Ping'an can almost conclude that that person is one of the monks from the countryside on Gongliu Island, the top spot, it is unlikely, Shujian Lake is very important, otherwise he would not have suppressed Liu Zhimao,
This requires him to personally sit on Gongliu Island, so it should be the second and third in command who has passed through Jianglong to keep an eye on himself and wait for an opportunity. Fortunately in misfortune, the other party does not want to kill himself directly, it seems that he has not yet come up with a foolproof strategy that does not leave hidden dangers, but once he makes a move, it must be thunderous.
In this regard, Chen Ping'an still thanked Liu Laocheng a little in his heart, Liu Laocheng not only gave him advice, but did not even watch the fire from the other side, but secretly reminded himself once and leaked the heavenly opportunity. Of course, there is also a possibility here, that is, Liu Laocheng has already told the other party about the jade plaque of the Holy Humanities Temple, and the monks from other towns are worried that the jade will be burned, which will fundamentally damage their overall plan in Shujian Lake.
However, Chen Ping'an vaguely felt that Liu Laocheng was a ...... Wonderful people, the former is more likely.
It's a pity that Liu Laocheng is not the person who finally decides the trend of Shujian Lake, so that the chessboard that he worked so hard to build, with Liu Zhimao, Tan Yuanyi, and Liu Laocheng, the two chess shapes were destroyed in one fell swoop, Chen Ping'an had to admit that this chessboard was only not overturned to the ground, and now it is Su Gaoshan, the main general of Da Li, and the group of foreign monks playing chess in Yishujian Lake, including him Chen Ping'an, the rest of the people, etc., all have to stand aside.
But if you want to say that you are working hard and working hard, in the end it is just a waste of work, but Chen Ping'an doesn't think so.
Whether you want to accept your fate or not, you need to know your fate before you accept your fate, just like Chen Ping'an wanted to see Su Gaoshan, and got a rather domineering "get out" The two-word reply, Chen Ping'an was able to accept it calmly, because of a trip to Shihao Country, seeing and hearing with his own eyes, coupled with the previous summary of the Liuwu Island Mansion Newspaper, for Su Gaoshan, Chen Ping'an dared to say that he still knew the temperament of this person, born in the Han clan, experienced hardships, and took Xuanhe's military exploits as the foundation of his life, this kind of person is in a high position, so he is extremely tenacious, his heart is like a rock, and his mood has long been similar to the heart of the great monk. Song Changjing, when he gave orders, even if there was no shortage of accountability, he must have respected Su Gaoshan a little bit in his heart.
But resigned to fate, in the end, it was a hard work, but there was no gain, of course, there will still be disappointment.
This point is actually no different from Zhang Jing who appeared in the Eagle Mountain.
Chen Ping'an wanted to touch the sword and drink a sip of wine, only to remember that he had taken it for Ma Duyi and hung it on his waist, so he sat back at the table, thought about it, and simply took out the calligraphy of the bookish county lieutenant, spread out the calligraphy one by one, and admired it, how to see and how to like it.
Consistent, hearty, unrestrained.
How is this different from a takefu's punch?
The spirit is moving, and the maneuver advances and retreats, all of which are in line with the way.
What is the difference between this and the sword immortal coming out of the sword?
There will always be some similarities in the world.
On each copybook, there are different private seals of the young county lieutenant, most of which are one and one seal, and rarely one double seal.
One of the postings, the content is very strong, "If you hold me to stick to the water, don't be afraid that the words will turn away." If you hold me for a night tour, I can teach the ghosts and gods to have no hide. β
There are two seals on the adjacent plates, "young Jiao is strong", "thin dragon god fat".
There is another one, but also to the word on the paddle stamped down three seals, at that time the young county lieutenant's action, so that Chen Ping'an was particularly impressed, his face was as bright as a scholar and an immortal, haha laughed lightly princely, "meet a fool to sell my immortal family words with immortal wine, happy and happy!" The seals are "Kaiyuan", "Changshu" and "Mochi Immortal".
Chen Ping'an put them away one by one.
In the future, it must be treasured in Luoluo Mountain, no matter who opens his mouth in the future, no matter how high the price is, he will not sell it, and he will pass it on as a family heirloom!
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile.
Chen Ping'an stretched his waist, clasped his hands in his sleeves, and kept turning his head to look at the river.
There was once a beautiful poem excerpted from the book and engraved on the bamboo slips, a small bamboo slip, but it carried such a big artistic conception.
The mountains are lofty, and the moon in Chengjiang is clear.
The magnificent river scenery outside the window, unconsciously, opened up the mind.
Mr. Qi, what I can't do in the inverted hanging mountain, there is a saying, after hard work, I may have done it now.
After Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi came back, Zeng Ye was very interested, saying that he really saw the water god of the Chunhua River, hairpin embroidered clothes, very kind, saw them, and made a special appearance, and personally took them around the water temple.
Ma Duyi rolled his eyes, saying that the old man's eyes were uncomfortable, and he was squinting, and when he looked at her waist and raised a sword, he didn't look at her waist less.
Chen Ping'an didn't have much to say about this.
The Chunhua River is the largest river in the plum glaze country, and the plum glaze country has always respected the water god, as the premier river god, the water god of the Chunhua River is certainly not simple.
In fact, the gods of mountains and rivers, Chen Ping'an has seen a lot, the earliest Qidun Mountain Wei Bai, the wedding girl ghost who was half of the god of mountains and rivers, and the embroidered river god who later appeared next to Gu Can's father, the buried river water god Niangniang on the side of Tongyezhou, on the way north of the Daquan Dynasty, encountered a pair of rival gods fighting for mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers shook, and of course, in the Ziyang Mansion of Huang Tingguo, the Baihu River water god Niangniang who made Chen Ping'an feel big.
I just don't know what the relationship between the boy in Tsing Yi and his friend in the rivers and lakes, the god of water in the river, is on the side of Luoluo Mountain.
Wei Yan and Zhu Yong sent a flying sword message from Qingxia Island, and the letter more or less mentioned this matter, but they didn't say much, only said that Huang Tingguo's water god of the Yujiang River got a Taiping and nothing to do card, and personally visited Longquan County, and the boy in Tsing Yi was in Luoluo Mountain to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, and finally invited the water god to drink a send-off wine in the town. After that, the boy in Tsing Yi no longer mentioned this good brother who values love and righteousness.
Chen Ping'an was a little worried, but with a few words on the letter, it was not good to tell the boy in Tsing Yi casually.
In the eyes of outsiders, the almost childish righteousness of the Tsing Yi boy, in fact, Chen Ping'an never disliked it, and even in his eyes, it was the most valuable thing about the Tsing Yi boy.
It's better to be stupid than to be shrewd and not smart at all.
At least in Chen Ping'an's Luoluo Mountain, this is very important and crucial.
Because this is Chen Ping'an's small world, the rules are set by him, Chen Ping'an's own personal likes and dislikes, just like the old Taoist who views Taoism, in a lotus flower blessed land, is "God".
Outside the scope of the circle, many shrewdness in dealing with people and everyone competing for the first place are different, Chen Ping'an also admitted, not even disliking it, but also felt that it was quite desirable, such as Sun Jiashu, who sat on a whole hundred-mile long street outside the old Dragon City, the young head of the Sun family, was not only shrewd, but had a unique wisdom in life, but in the end, Chen Ping'an and Sun Jiashu, and the ancestral house of the Sun family could only part ways, but in the end, when he left the old Dragon City by ferry, Chen Ping'an's perception of Sun Jiashu was already deeper.
The same rice is not only to raise a hundred kinds of people.
If you are willing to see more about the good of others, you will not get into the horns.
You also need to know more about the differences between others and yourself, so that you can know why others live well and don't live well.
Think about it, turn it a thousand times.
is like those cursive calligraphy of the young county lieutenant, so sloppy and crazy that Zeng Ye can't recognize a word at first glance, but in fact, it falls to the root, and it is not a word?
But looking at the characters and appreciating the miracles of calligraphy, I don't know the characters, the characters don't know me, just look at the momentum, and it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. But when everyone is in this complex world, you don't know the rules and constraints of this world, especially those rules that are the lowest and most easily ignored, life has to teach people to be people, which has nothing to do with good and evil, the road is selfless, the four seasons flow, time passes, and no one suffers.
Chen Ping'an was a little worried, the little Taoist boy with the golden sword on his back said that he was going to move to another world, didn't he say that the lotus flower blessed land should also be brought to the green world? Nanyuan country's national teachers Chong Qiu and Cao Qinglang, what should they do? Is there still a chance to meet again? The blessed land is under the control of the old Taoist, will next time Chen Ping'an be able to return to the blessed land, Chong Qiu is already an ancient person who has won a great reputation in the history of Nanyuan Guoqing? So what about Cao Qinglang?
For Cao Qinglang's kind-hearted child, Chen Ping'an has always been thinking about it and never forgetting it.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi sat at the table chatting, munching on melon seeds, and before they knew it, they found that Mr. Chen seemed to be a little sad again.
Fortunately, this sorrow is not the same as before, it is not heavy, it is just the melancholy of remembering someone or something, it is a green ant floating on the surface of the wine, and it has not become the sadness of aging old wine.
But this bookkeeper never said a word about his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and always suffered them alone.
This made Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye actually feel a little lost in their hearts.
There was a knock on the door, and this Xianjia inn built near the river sent a copy of the Xianjia Mansion newspaper compiled by Mei Xuguo himself, which was freshly baked, with the unique long-term ink fragrance of the Xianjia.
After Chen Ping'an thanked him, he looked at it, browsed both sides, handed it to Ma Duyi, and said helplessly: "Su Gaoshan has begun to attack Meibei Kingdom on a large scale, leaving the border line near the pass, which has all been lost. β
There is a detailed record of this matter in the newspaper.
Zhou Mi, one of the three commanders of the Meihua Kingdom, was responsible for garrisoning the upper reaches of the Chunhua River. Has defected to the Dali Iron Cavalry, intended to lead the army to mutiny, secretly contact Da Li, as a result of the early awareness of the Emperor of the Mei Glaze Kingdom, sent several royal family to worship the monks, together to kill, at that time Zhou Mi around the Da Li with the army monks, three people were killed in battle, including a Da Li local Jin Dan Di Xian, Su Gaoshan was furious, let the three generals under his command make a military order, within one month, be sure to attack the three places of the Mei Glaze Kingdom, form an encirclement of the stubborn Mei Glaze Kingdom capital, and threatened to cut off the head of the Emperor of the Mei Glaze Kingdom as a wine jug, next year, on the occasion of Qingming, take it to the grave to toastγ
Zeng Ye just watched the excitement, and he couldn't understand it anyway, but he just sighed that the Dali Iron Horse was so powerful and domineering.
Mountain monks often do not have too deep feelings for their family and country, and the longer they practice, the longer they leave the world, the more indifferent they become.
Stand by and look at it coldly.
Otherwise, if you don't cultivate enough, you haven't really stood on the top of the mountain, and you will still be caught up in the general trend and have to go down the mountain.
Therefore, the middle-aged Taoist who met by chance in the stream, took the initiative to go down the mountain and help the poor at the foot of the mountain, which would make Chen Ping'an respectful, but the cultivation of the avenue, the demons in his heart together, the suffering and confusion, outsiders really can't say much, Chen Ping'an does not feel that the middle-aged Taoist must be firm in his heart, and doing good deeds in the world is the right way, otherwise he will fall behind.
Ma Duyi saw farther than Zeng Ye, and asked suspiciously: "Why is Su Gaoshan so anxious that he must quickly take down the Meihua Kingdom?" Although I don't know anything about military affairs, I have traveled through the roads of the Meihua Kingdom, and I also know that the waterways of the Meihua Kingdom are criss-crossed, and they are not suitable for the Dali cavalry to gallop. β
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "We say that it is the Dali Iron Cavalry, but it is not really only the cavalry, but the Dali is famous for its iron cavalry, and it is easy for people to mistake it for the infantry of the Dali Border Army." This way to the south, what kind of dynasty and vassal have not been taught, Da Li to take the Mei Glaze Country, is the general trend, but you are not wrong, so anxious to take the Mei Glaze Country, it is bound to pay more than the cost of breaking through the capital of Shihao Country, the soldiers and horses of Da Li and the Mei Glaze Kingdom will be lost, there will be more, the mystery here, may only Su Gaoshan himself know. I believe that someone should be urging Su Gaoshan and Cao Yu, such as the real backbone of the Da Li Iron Cavalry, the vassal king Song Changjing. β
Ma Duyi hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Why doesn't Mr. seem to care too much about the battlefield war."
The life and death of those battlefield warriors are not as concerned as the common people?"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while and drew a circle on the table with his finger, "There is a hometown proverb, if the clay pot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die." Joining the ranks and competing on the battlefield is equivalent to tying your head to the waistband of your trousers. Just like the general of the Lingguan Temple, do you think that after his death, he will regret sacrificing his life for the country? There is also the stragglers of Shihao Country who grabbed food with the people in the small county town, that young soldier, even if he died so many robes, how could he really draw a knife against the common people. β
Chen Ping'an drew a larger circle, "You may not know that in Shihao Country before, I stopped a mountain spirit boy who wanted to kill someone at a dog meat shop in a county town, and gave him a ...... Fairy money. But if the demon clan invades the vast world on a large scale, there will really be a day, even if I know that among the demon clan, there will be the fox charm of the ancient temple in the early years, and there will be this spirit boy who finally gave up killing, but when I face the mighty army in front, I am the only one in front of them, and behind me is the city and the people, what do you say I should do? Go to the battle array, and ask the demon clan one by one, why do you want to kill, are you willing to kill people?"
Chen Ping'an said indifferently: "Since I chose to stand there and block the road, it means that I am ready to die, and since the other party has killed there, it should be the same." For example, the Confucian sages sit in the academies, and the Taoist Zhenjun sits in the Taoist temple, why is there such a favorable time, place, and people? Probably this is part of the reason. When they are in it, outsiders have to follow the customs. β
Chen Ping'an asked, "Can I understand this?"
Zeng Ye shook his head honestly.
Ma Duyi asked: "I understand the general truth, but there is a problem again, what if outsiders can forcibly break through the saint heaven and earth?
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "This shows that you haven't thought clearly, why the saint can sit in heaven and earth, this is the fundamental, this is the thread of the vein, the beginning of the sequence." After that, I wonder why I was still destroyed by external forces, and the seemingly unreasonable outsiders used their fists to win the reason. As for why I say 'seemingly', it's even more complicated, and when I have the opportunity to encounter something tangible in the future, I will talk to you in detail, otherwise you will only feel more and more like a mess, as if there is reason everywhere, and as a result, everyone is unreasonable. β
Ma Duyi nodded, "Okay, wait and see." β
Chen Ping'an smiled: "But I hope I don't have that opportunity." β
Ma Duyi became more and more confused.
Chen Ping'an said slowly: "We have seen with our own eyes the misfortune of Shihao's family and country, only poets and heroes, the voice of the country, the words of grief and indignation, and those civil and military generals who died and died are the easiest to be remembered by the history books." We have also walked through the Meihua country, more or diligent people, firmly complaining literati and ink writers, living a fairly stable life, which one do you say is luckier Shihao country or Meihua country?"
The answer is obvious.
Dying generously is a last resort after all, and no regrets do not mean that there are no regrets. And living well, even if it is not so comfortable, is always the most simple wish of the world.
Chen Ping'an smiled: "We don't know a lot of simple truths, and it's difficult for us to empathize with the suffering of others, but isn't this our luck?"
No matter how good a person is, he can't truly empathize with the painful suffering of others.
At that time, under the young Zhao Shu who was holding a firewood knife in Rouge County, Caiyi Country, why was the little girl who was desperately guarding, why was she only willing to believe Chen Ping'an, because children are often more sincere, more sensitive to suffering and more difficult to resist, the little girl nicknamed Luan Luan was in Chen Ping'an, who was closer to the situation, and she felt the joys and sorrows of the same, not because at that time in the eyes of the child, Chen Ping'an must be better than the girl next to him who was also a good person.
At this moment, Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye looked at each other.
Chen Ping'an finally looked calm and said: "But these lucky people who don't know how to be blessed come from, shouldn't they know and cherish it? When everyone is unwilling to delve into this matter, when a catastrophe is coming, don't complain and cry out for grievances, God shouldn't listen, right? That's why there are Bodhisattvas sitting upside down on that altar, right?" However, I still think that at this juncture, scholars should still take some responsibility, read more books than the common people, have fame, shine on the lintel, and enjoy greater blessings than the common people, so they should take on some more burdens. β
Chen Ping'an gently put his hands on the chair handles.
When everyone sits in an improper posture, how comfortable and how to come, the tenon is loose, the chair is shaking, and the world will not be peaceful. Therefore, Confucianism will pay attention to self-cultivation in learning, be sure to sit upright, and be cautious and independent.
After reading the book Jane Lake, I was so disappointed.
But when Chen Ping'an left Shujian Lake, walked more roads and thought about more things, he was not so disappointed.
After a short two-day rest, they left the Immortal Inn and headed for the southernmost part of the Plum Glaze Kingdom.
On the way south, Chen Ping'an met a down-and-out scholar, who talked and dressed, showing a good family background.
At that time, the scholars of Meihua Kingdom were disheartened by the official career, and there was no shortage of silver, so they hired chariot and horse servants to accompany him on his journey through the mountains and rivers, and as a result, some of them saw the wealth and became interested in the other two to seek money and kill them, and almost pushed the scholar who liked to sing poetry down the cliff plank road, if it were not for a good footman to stop him, it is estimated that he would not be able to wait for Chen Ping'an to make a move, and the scholar was gone, and the family may not even be able to find the bones afterwards.
After Chen Ping'an stopped, he asked how the scholar would deal with those carriage and horse servants, the scholar was also a strange person, not only gave them the salary and silver they deserved, let them take the money and leave, but also said that they remembered their household registration, as long as they dared to do evil again in the future, let him know, the new account and the old account should be settled together, a capital crime of losing his head, not a problem. The scholar left only the porter.
Then he had to go with Chen Ping'an, change his route, and go south together.
The scholar fell in love with Ma Duyi at first sight.
Chen Ping'an is not blind, even Zeng Ye can see it.
Moreover, the scholar's overtures were too lame, and he had nothing to say, so he deliberately talked to Chen Ping'an and talked about current affairs, otherwise he would be facing the wonderful landscape, chanting poems, and feeling nostalgic.
Ma Duyi was very annoyed, and for the first time he wanted Mr. Chen to put away the fox skin talisman and put himself in his sleeve, so that he could not see it, and his ears would not be annoyed.
If it weren't for the scholar who hadn't lost his clean reading, after all, he wouldn't be embarrassed to report his family and show off his family background, Ma Duyi would have scolded him, and asked the scholar to put away the complaining ink as soon as possible.
The scholar is obviously a child of the Meihua family, otherwise the pride revealed in the speech is not the high school champion at the age of the weak crown, but after three years of training in the Hanlin Academy and the household yamen in the capital, he was sent out to the local government as an official, and he took various measures to deal with the malpractices of officialdom in a county.
I really want to be a good official and get the reputation of a big man.
It's a pity that after leaving office, not to mention an umbrella for the people, only the infamy of chicken feathers, the subordinates of the county government, scolded him for being pedantic behind his back, didn't know how to fight for some benefits for the yamen, patronized them to find guilt, and the local gentry also scolded him for not knowing how to do general affairs, and the common people also scolded him, scolding him for selling his reputation and fame, and working hard for the people and losing money.
One day, when it came to the sad place, he drank too much wine, and the scholar was in tears, and he couldn't care about pretending to be a writer and a celebrity on Ma Duyi's side.
Chen Ping'an didn't say much.
He only talked about his rough views on clean officials and good officials, and roughly talked about the advantages of the former and the difficulties of the latter.
When the scholar heard this, he was drunk and indignant, saying that the harmony in the officialdom is already unacceptable, and if he wants to be in the same stream, then what kind of scholar should he be, what kind of official, a real scholar, he should rely on his true talent and learning, step by step in the center of the important thing, and then cleanse the turbidity, this is regarded as self-cultivation and governance, otherwise he will simply not be an official, sorry for the sage in the book.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said that it also made sense.
Didn't persuade much.
It's not that Chen Ping'an thinks the reason doesn't make sense, or that the scholar's ideas are too naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve.
It's the bad thing for this kind of reader.
Chen Ping'an saw it with his own eyes.
Wu Yuan, who holds the title of a national teacher's disciple, first served as a county magistrate in Longquan, and ran into walls everywhere.
But the soft nails with a pleasant face were secretly buried inside and outside the government office, which made Wu Yuan anxious, and his career was not smooth, and he finally had to "move out" The town, for the sister-in-law of Yuan Cao and the two surnames, moved the nest, with the promotion of Longquan from the county to the county, Wu Yuan was of course promoted from the county order to the county guard, but Chen Ping'an dared to assert that Wu Yuan's impression in the Dali court has fallen to the bottom, there is a background and a backer, and it is not difficult to go smoothly for a while, but it is destined not to be smooth sailing.
In fact, Wu Yuan did say a heartfelt word to a child of a wealthy family in the capital around him, and the secretary Lang made it clear that everyone should write a plaque for the Wenwu Temple, or the difference between the two of them is to break the deadlock in Longquan by the Lao Jia family, and the incense is not only between friends, but even within the family, it will also run out, so don't use it indiscriminately.
If Chen Ping'an heard about this now, maybe he would have to sit down with Wu Yuan and have a good drink, just this sentence is enough for a pot of good wine.
In the lotus flower blessed land, Chen Ping'an has seen many generations of hairpins of official eunuchs, to the local officials, thinking that they can, in fact, many people from the scenery to the gloom, and then to complete silence, during the period there will be a shortcut to break the rules, after a moment of profit, local officials also pinched their noses and admitted the loss, but they often silently rebounded, for those officials from the capital, more and more group rejection, the wrist is more and more skilled and insidious, as a fool to tease and play.
Therefore, Chen Ping'an is now afraid of Su Gaoshan, who has changed from a clay leg to a general in the army, but he will not underestimate Cao Gaoshan, who has a noble surname and is unique in the initial stage of officialdom.
Ma Duyi was half angry, endured it for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to speak, but Chen Ping'an shook his head and signaled him not to speak.
Chen Ping'an can actually understand the scholar's predicament.
It was the same as his own situation in Shujian Lake.
Does he want to seek skin with the tiger, and become an ally with Liu Zhimao, who is a life-and-death enmity and should never die? Make rules for Shujian Lake together? If he doesn't do it, he will naturally save worry and effort, and if he does it, if he doesn't say anything else, he will not be happy in his heart, and sometimes, in the dead of night, he has to ask himself, whether his conscience is missing two pounds or two, will there be a day when he is the same as Gu Can, one wrong step, no turning back, and unconsciously, he has become the kind of person he liked the most back then.
Chen Ping'an respects the choice of scholars.
Maybe he is not an official, he has both the talent of the champion and the family background, and he has been studying for decades, and he is full of peach and plum, isn't it a better way to break the situation?
Also.
That beautiful possibility is in front of the scholar's path.
How can Chen Ping'an be willing to say more, scholar, you are wrong, you should be sure to be a scholar with a guilty conscience, there is an extra good official in the temple, but the country is missing a real gentleman? Chen Ping'an did not dare to make a conclusion about the trade-offs and gains and losses.
These are all things that Chen Ping'an looked at and thought of from the books and the books.
Many words that once only knew that they were good but didn't know where the good was, Mr. Qi's, Ah Liang's, Old Man Yao's, on bamboo slips, all kinds of people, the words they left to this world are becoming clearer and clearer, as if they were picked up by later generations, innocent and true.
If there is gathering, there will be dispersion.
No matter how much the scholar likes Ma Duyi, even if he no longer cares about Ma Duyi's indifference and estrangement, he still has to return to the capital and indulge in the mountains and rivers, which is not the main business of a scholar after all.
When he parted, he told him about his family history, because if Mr. Chen asked him for drinks and asked people for directions in the future, he would always have an address.
It turned out that the scholar was the grandson of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Meiglaze.
If you meet and fall in love, you will drink, and if you don't leave, you can make an appointment again, which is probably a good Jianghu.
Zeng Ye actually still doesn't quite understand why Mr. Chen is willing to spend time with a sour scholar like this, and insists on accompanying the scholar to walk around the landscape of the unjust road for more than 100 miles.
Even if the scholar is the grandson of a scholar, what about it? Zeng Ye didn't think that Mr. Chen needed to deliberately make friends with such a human figure.
It's not worth it.
Not to mention Mr. Chen, it is Zeng Ye, a mountain and wild cultivator who has not yet entered the Middle Five Realms, has nothing to do with whether he belongs to the arrogance of the mountain monks, but Zeng Ye met the same people and the same thing, and he died and saved people and drank wine, and then dispersed.
But when I thought that it was Mr. Chen, Zeng Ye was relieved, didn't Ma Duyi say Mr. Chen in person, not happy, Zeng Ye actually felt this way, but it was a little different from Ma Duyi, Zeng Ye felt that such a Mr. Chen was very good, maybe in the future, when he had Mr. Chen's current cultivation and state of mind, he would meet that scholar again, and he would talk more?
Zeng's
The heart of cultivation has invisibly changed from having to hold on to Mr. Chen's sleeve and survive from the beginning, to even if he leaves Mr. Chen in the future, he must live a more enjoyable life, which is different from the wild cultivation predecessors of Maoyue Island and even the entire Shujian Lake.
For example, be more patient with the ordinary masters under the mountain?
Zeng Ye must not have thought through enough now, but he finally began to think about it.
The tall boy probably didn't know that the boy in Mud Bottle Lane back then walked like this, so he had today's Mr. Bookkeeper.
After separating from the scholars, the three horses came to the southernmost part of the Meihua country called Jingzhou, the largest official in it, not too shou, but the master of the Caoyun chief military officer Yamen, the chief military officer is one of the members second only to the governor of Caoyun, Chen Ping'an stayed for a long time, because he found that this place is full of spiritual energy, far better than the general local towns, beneficial to Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye's practice, he chose a large inn near the water, let them practice at ease, he himself wandered around the city, during which he heard a lot of things, the chief military officer has an only son, the talent is mediocre, the imperial examination is hopeless, and there is no intention to pursue a career, perennial in the Qinglou Goulan lingering, notorious, but I haven't bullied men and women, but I have a quirk, like to let people catch cats, dogs, foxes, etc., bend their feet, slap them backwards, watch their children, and take pleasure in it.
As a result, the chief military officer's office, soon spread a horrific statement, the chief military officer's only son, was broken hands and feet, the end is like a cat, dog and fox in his hands, the mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, thrown on the bed, the young man who had already been hollowed out by wine, obviously seriously injured, but did not die, the chief military officer was furious, after determining that it was a demon, he spent a lot of money, invited the immortal master of the two immortal caves to go down the mountain to subdue the demon, and of course, he wanted to use the immortal family law to cure the crippled son.
At that time, Chen Ping'an happened to be walking on the bank of the Cao Canal and saw with his own eyes a group of mountain immortal masters who entered the city on a fairy boat.
The person standing at the bow of the ship was actually a Dragon Gate Realm monk.
This is a vassal vassal like Mei Glaze Country, please move a Longmen Realm, it is a big deal, it seems that the chief military officer's mansion is indeed rich.
In addition to the convenience of Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi's practice, there is actually a more hidden reason for choosing to stay in Jingzhou.
According to the records of the immortal mansion of the inn on the bank of the Chunhua River, the woman in green clothes and the young man in white who were born out of thin air, once stopped the old sword cultivator of the Zhu Ying Dynasty who was known as "one foot in the Yuan Infant Realm" in the sky above the boundary of Jingzhou.
Chen Ping'an guessed that Cui Dongshan and Ruan Xiu were "fishing", luring one or two Yuanying sword cultivators to leave the mountain and lose the protection of the landscape formation, and then rushed to the territory of Meixu Country regardless of it to save the Jindan Sword Cultivator who was the great promise of the Great Dao and the important weapon of the country.
Otherwise, with Cui Dongshan's Yuanying cultivation and a magic weapon, there is no need to trouble at all to deal with a Jindan sword cultivator.
It is very likely that in the border area of Meibei Country, there are Ruan Qiong or Xu Qiang of the Mo family hiding, even if both of them are there, Chen Ping'an will not be surprised.
It is worthy of being the spectrum immortal master of the Longmen realm monks, after gathering with another group of less powerful peers, he cured the son of the powerful, but he will be slightly lame when he walks in the future, and he is destined to be unable to lift heavy objects.
In fact, being able to torture the only son of the chief military officer in such a human way, sneaking in quietly, and leaving quietly means that it is easy to kill that young man, but for some reason, the monster did not kill, but only hurt people.
In the night, Chen Ping'an has been watching from the side of the city, standing by.
If it weren't for the stupidity of the monster, intentionally or unintentionally choosing a route that is not conducive to the long escape, there would definitely be heavy casualties in Jingzhou City tonight, not that it was wrong to subdue demons and catch monsters, but that the immortal master of the spectrum made a move again and again, which was really reckless.
In the end, the monster escaped from the city.
Immortal masters like butterflies swept over the city, leaving behind those Caoyun officers and soldiers who could only wave their flags and shouting, and continued to go out of the city to chase and kill, the officers and soldiers in the city must have broken their heads and couldn't think of it, the two groups of immortal masters went out of the city to chase and kill, the momentum was violent, but in fact, they stopped quickly, even if there was no trace of the monster, it was still deliberately the spirit weapon came out one after another, and it was constantly smashed against an open space, which was extremely gorgeous.
At the same time, the old immortal master of the Longmen Realm, who had not made a strong move from beginning to end, changed direction when he left the city and quietly left the team of demon hunters.
Chen Ping'an jumped down from the city and followed far behind.
In the mountains more than 20 miles away from Jingzhou City, Chen Ping'an stood on the branch of a big tree, watched the old monk fight, and after a fight, he used a silver-white magic weapon to bind the demon rope and successfully restrained the raccoon fox that showed his true body.
The old monk succeeded, dragged the snow-white fox covered in blood with a demon rope, and went straight to Chen Ping'an's vicinity, and asked with a smile: "What, do you want a piece of the pie?"
Chen Ping'an fell to the ground and said with a smile: "The old immortal master has done a good deal, the disciple, go back to the chief military official mansion and say a big demon and untamable wording, anyway, everyone in the city has seen your shot, do your best, dazzling, presumably the feudal official has trouble sleeping, and he has to obediently hand over a large amount of fairy money, I implore the old immortal master You must catch the demon to the end, here, the old immortal master secretly captured the monster, and then casually find the fox spirit that has just turned into a human form, and hand it over to the chief military officer's office, and they are all happy." β
The old monk stroked his beard and smiled, "You have good eyesight in this later life. Among my dull disciples, there are a few fools who don't know the idea, and you can know the joints just by looking at them a few times. β
Chen Ping'an joked: "The old immortal master shouldn't be trying to kill people, right?"
The old monk laughed, "I'm not the crazy wild cultivator, for the sake of money, my father and mother can disown it, let's say, you make a price, if the price is fair, it will be a windfall for you, and the horse has no night grass and no fat." β
Chen Ping'an asked, "I don't know what the old immortal master captured this thing for?"
The old monk lifted the demon rope in his hand, and the demon wailed, "After all, it is a demon who has worked hard to cultivate to the realm of viewing the sea, after taking it back to the mountain gate, adjust it, go to its anger, and use it as a mountain protection to worship and cultivate, not that I boast, this is also a great blessing for it." β
Chen Ping'an nodded and said with a smile: "There are true and false, don't care." However, I still advise the old immortal master to think carefully and not to catch me with that demon binding rope. β
The old monk's eyes were dark and uncertain, "You are really ignorant of what to do in this later life, and you are really not afraid of good things turning into bad things with the heart of a villain?"
Chen Ping'an clasped his hands in his sleeves and restrained his smile, "You actually have to be grateful to this monster, otherwise you have done too much evil in the city before, and you will be half dead by this time." β
The old monk of the Longmen Realm seemed to hear a big joke, and laughed loudly, and the leaves shook and fell.
Chen Ping'an sighed, "There is a way to make money, and what I get is the ill-gotten wealth of Caoyun officials, I think it's very good." But in order to make money, not to mention the lives of the people, it is not very good to join forces with people at this time, wait for them to come when they hear the news, catch demons and kill people, and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. β
The old monk looked at the young man, who at first glance was just a sick man.
The more you look at it, the more wrong it becomes.
It became more and more fearful.
Cultivators, once they really make a feud, it is easy for one party to die, otherwise it will be a hundred years of entangled grievances.
Chen Ping'an said: "I'll pay you to buy it, how about it?"
The old monk hesitated.
Chen Ping'an threw out a jade plaque.
Qingxia Island is enshrined in the first class.
The old monk didn't dare to reach out to catch it, the monk's secret technique is strange, who dares to take it lightly.
Chen Ping'an didn't return the jade card early, let it hover in the air, and the old monk of the Longmen Realm carefully looked at it, and then threw out a Gu Yu money, "Now our Qingxia Island is a little chaotic, and the momentum is not as good as before, you are a well-known immortal master in the plum glaze country, otherwise you are already dead at this time, this magic weapon binding demon rope will also be in my bag, take the money, just stop some, otherwise you will be with your disciples for the rest of your life, obediently hide on the mountain and cultivate in peace." β
Chen Ping'an smiled, "Of course, the price of a Gu Yu Qian is definitely not fair, but the price is fair, is it worthy of this jade plate?"
Chen Ping'an patted the sword gourd.
Two flying swords swept out and disappeared in a flash.
The old monk's eyelids trembled, and with a wave of his sleeves, he flicked the jade card back to the young "Sword Immortal" in a cyan cotton robe, and then accepted the Gu Yu money, made a joke, and said with a smile: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, if you can trust it, you can come to our Longpan Mountain as a guest in the future." β
Chen Ping'an put away the jade card, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, he also swept back the sword cultivation gourd, and said with a smile: "The old immortal master is so good at doing business, I don't dare to send money to the door." β
The old monk laughed heartily, shook the demon rope, and the snow-white fox fell to the ground, put away the magic weapon, and said a few tough words, "As long as Qingxia Island is still standing firm in Shujian Lake, the little dragon Panshan will only give money, and dare not accept gifts, and it will be hot." I don't dare if Qingxia Island is gone one day, I hope we don't meet again, otherwise it will hurt our feelings. β
The old monk was not ambiguous, and after leaving the words, he said that he would leave.
Chen Ping'an swept the branches, and after a while, he fell to the ground, and he was really gone.
The snow-white fox curled up on the ground, his eyes widened as he healed, glaring at the young monk.
What a sword cultivator?
After she went down the mountain, she didn't dare to swagger through the city, and she didn't see many monks on the mountain, so it was the first time in her life that she saw a sword cultivator.
Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "Let's go, don't show weakness to the enemy, I know that although you can't fight with people, you have no obstacles to walk, remember not to appear in Jingzhou in the near future." β
She blinked.
Chen Ping'an quipped: "What, blame me for delaying your Great Dao Fortune in Longpan Mountain?"
She said in a crisp voice: "Longpan Mountain has raised a very terrible evil python, it is a real mountain protection worship, and it likes to devour spirits, so that old villain is lying to you, you must be careful in the future." β
Chen Ping'an nodded, signaling that he would pay attention, and then did not move forward, but squatted down in place, "Isn't it strange why I am a wild cultivator of Shujian Lake, why do I want to save you?"
She quickly closed her mouth and said not a word.
Chen Ping'an smiled and threw out a small porcelain bottle, rolled down in front of the snow-white fox fox, and said, "If you don't worry, you can keep it for now." β
She finally couldn't help but speak, "What is Childe trying to do?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, in order not to hurt the innocent, you were almost caught in the city, what do you want?"
She smiled and narrowed her eyes, a raccoon fox behaved like this, and she looked like a woman in the world, so it was very funny, she said coquettishly: "Childe, we are fellow believers, alas?"
It's just that she quickly made a bitter face and was a little sorry.
I always feel that saying this is a little sorry for this benefactor.
Because of them, those who are lucky enough to be born as human beings, in the scolding words, there are birds and beasts that are not as good as this.
Chen Ping'an was noncommittal, waving his hand, "Let's go, let's go, people's hearts are ghostly, it's terrible, don't rely on your cultivation in the future, you will play in the world, you fight with heaven and earth, you have already won once, this is why you have today's cultivation, you must cherish it more." But when you fight with people, where are the opponents of those mountain and wild cultivators and spectrum immortal masters, let's go, even if you can't help but come to the world to walk again in the future, wander around the market, be careful and be careful. Also, don't think that you can meet someone like me every time in the future, how do you know that today's good people will become bad people in the future?"
She gently raised one paw, "covered her mouth", and said with a smile: "How can someone who can say that become a bad person, I don't believe it." β
Chen Ping'an clasped his hands in his sleeves, squatted there, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can, but I can remind you that the old villain of Longpan Mountain, maybe he will regret it, and after meeting with the rest of the immortal masters, he will kill you, catch you, and serve that evil python as a Chinese meal." β
The snow-white fox hesitated for a moment, quickly put away the porcelain vase, and rushed out, but more than ten steps away, it turned its head, stood on two feet, and said goodbye to the world.
The young man had been crouching there, but he hadn't forgotten to wave at her.
After the little guy left, Chen Ping'an stood up and slowly walked towards Jingzhou City, which was regarded as a night tour of the mountains and forests.
Thinking of losing another Gu Yu money, Chen Ping'an sighed and said that he couldn't be such a loser next time.
It's just that this bookkeeper probably forgot that after giving away a small summer money at the dog meat shop, he seemed to remind himself like this.
Chen Ping'an completely forgot about this stubble, and while walking, he looked up, the bright moon was in the sky, and he forgot about it.
