Volume 1 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 74 The Fire Dragon Walks the Water

Chen Ping'an returned to the blacksmith shop, after working, while eating and resting, Chen Ping'an held the bowl and found Master Ruan who was squatting under the eaves with Miss Ruan, Chen Ping'an said that he wanted to borrow money, maybe fifteen or sixteen taels of silver. Ruan Qiong didn't even ask Chen Ping'an why he borrowed money, stopped his chopsticks, glanced at the straw sandals boy, and popped out two words, "Get out." ”

Chen Ping'an hurriedly ran away.

Ruan Xiu frowned and said, "Dad, you can't talk well?"

Ruan Qiong snorted coldly: "If you don't beat him, you're already very good at talking." ”

Ruan Xiu hugged and said: "People work so hard to be an apprentice for you, and the salary is not confiscated, when it is dark, everyone stays in the house and sleeps, or just chatting, only Chen Ping'an is still moving soil from the well, one trip after another, busy with this and that, not idle at all, who is the most diligent in doing things at these times, Dad, you don't count in your heart? You yourself touched your conscience and said, people ask you to borrow fifteen or sixteen taels of silver, why is it too much?"

Ruan Qiong didn't speak with a dark face, thinking to himself that my father and I just had too many numbers in my heart, so I wanted to hack this little bastard who dug the foot of the wall.

If this young man had the cultivation ability of moving apes in Zhengyang Mountain, his father would have learned from Qi Jingchun a long time ago and beat him half to death. It's just that when he thought of this, Ruan Qiong was a little discouraged, although even if he put aside his identity as a saint in this heaven and earth, it was still a sure thing to be better than the mountain moving ape, but it was obviously impossible to decide the victory with Qi Jingchun like that.

Ruan Qiong had no choice but to comfort himself, although he was a nominal soldier sword cultivator, his real pursuit was not the strength of the battle, but to become the world's top swordsmith, casting a living sword that has the hope of cultivating his own spirituality, so that there is one more real creature in heaven and earth who can live and die, can practice, can reincarnate, and can even pursue the Great Dao.

Ruan Qiong put down the dishes and chopsticks, raised his head and looked at the sky, and scolded his mother inexplicably, "Do you really think that after Qi Jingchun dies, you will be able to be lawless? My rules have been clearly told to you, now since you don't follow them, take out the ability to be unruly, if not, then die." ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Ruan Qiong, who was originally squatting, rose from the ground, like a snow-white rainbow exploding on the earth, shooting towards the sea of clouds in the sky.

Above the sea of clouds, there are several palace women, women and men in brocade clothes and jade belts, walking together in the sky, talking and laughing, all of them are dashing fairy people, from time to time overlooking the whole picture of the land of the former Lizhu Cave, it can be said that there is a veritable wind between talking and laughing.

There was a loud bang.

The head of a graceful woman with a golden hairpin cracked. Then there was a beautiful girl beside her, whose head also blossomed. In turn, men and women, no exception.

Ruan Qiong's figure hovered above the sea of golden clouds, his eyes were sharp, he looked around, and sneered: "Why, just use such a little miscellaneous fish to test my Ruan Qiong's bottom line? Isn't it too contemptuous of people, although my Ruan Qiong is an iron-striker, far inferior to Qi Jingchun, but what is the difficulty of killing one or two tenth-floor monks who are not long-eyed here?" So from now on, there is one more rule here, you can hear it clearly, even if you hide outside the border line and covet the blessed land of Lizhu, as long as I, Ruan Qiong, are in a bad mood one day, I will catch you in the sky above the blessed land, and then smash your head, believe it or not. ”

The next moment I saw him holding down the head of an old man with one hand, and after grabbing it back within the boundary, he pressed his five fingers together, and the old man begged for mercy: "Master Ruan! Master Ruan! If you have something to say, the old man is a ...... of the nearby Ziyan River."

Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Ruan Qiong pinched the immortal master's head and threw the corpse out of his blessed land territory, but the emerald rainbow light that escaped from the corpse, Ruan Qiong only glanced at it coldly, and did not beat the water dog. The green rainbow, which was no more than three feet long, flew wildly for nearly a thousand miles, and plunged into a faint purple smoke rising and swirling the river, the river water was grand and magnificent, far better than the water of the general river in the territory of Dali.

Ruan Qiong, whose five fingers were still bloodstained, said loudly: "Within Jiazi, it will be like this." ”

In the sea of clouds in the distance, a female monk hid her figure through the clouds and mist, and said indignantly: "The methods are so bloody and cruel, where is it done by a saint who sits majestically in a place with good luck." ”

Ruan Qiong laughed angrily, "Yo he, you learn smart, you only muttered when you hide so far away, you think I have nothing to do with you, right? Damn, Lao Tzu is not Qi Jingchun's stupid guy who reads and reads, you talk about morality and etiquette with me as a soldier and sword cultivator, you have a hole in your brain, right?"

Ruan Qiong tilted his arms downward, put his fingers together, and said silently in his heart: "Tiangang shakes the wind, the earth is thundering and the pond is on fire, and it is as urgent as a law!"

In an instant, there were two places in the heavens and the earth that were surging rapidly, like two springs that had just appeared.

A warm voice hurriedly reminded him in another place: "It's not good, it's Ruan Qiong's natal wind and thunder twin swords!Lan Ting, retreat quickly! Ruan Qiong's natal thing is different from ordinary people, and it is not contained in the acupuncture, it exists between the three thousand miles of heaven and earth around him, and the two military yin gods who follow him wander around......"

Above the sea of clouds, there is a touch of colorful green fireflies, desperately fleeing for their lives, outside the fireflies, there is a branch of crystal clear peach blossoms lingering and circling, escorting the owner.

After almost eight hundred miles of faint green streamer, it was pierced through the skull by a cyan silk thread that fell from the sky.

The man who spoke up for her saw that the opportunity was not good, so he disappeared early with his unique escape technique.

The heavens were silent, and no one dared to make a noise.

Ruan Qiong sneered, no longer bothered with this group of ill-intentioned ghosts, and his body fell back to the stream near the blacksmith shop, and the blacksmith, who was full of evil and blood, stretched out his hand to wash away the blood in the stream.

Ruan Qiong sighed and said sadly: "Qi Jingchun, if you are half unreasonable with me, why are you so aggrieved?"

————

On the shore, Chen Ping'an was walking the pile for an hour, on the way back, after the practice, he was stretching and relaxing, Chen Ping'an suddenly saw Master Ruan walking ashore from the stream, hesitated, slowed down, and did not touch the nails. For some reason, Chen Ping'an always felt that Master Ruan didn't have a good impression of himself, and his eyes looked at him a bit like Old Man Yao, revealing a sense of disgust.

Ruan Qiong didn't pay attention to the young man, and walked back to the blacksmith shop with arrogance.

Chen Ping'an suddenly turned his head and looked at the stream.

Calm as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.

But Chen Ping'an's heart was cold, like a man's back, like a water ghost who had died unjustly in the stream, staring at himself, a very absurd feeling.

It's just that in the sight, the stream is murmuring, cheerful and soft.

Chen Ping'an didn't give up, picked up a few stones of just the right weight, turned around and walked downstream along the stream, carefully examining the movement in the stream, trying to find some clues.

The more Chen Ping'an looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, in broad daylight, the stream actually gave people a gloomy look, even if Chen Ping'an dived into the pit under the back of the green cow so many times, he had never had such a clear feeling of boredom. Chen Ping'an can now be sure of one thing, there are incredible spirits and monsters, lonely souls and wild ghosts in the world, Mr. Qi used to be in the town, so all evils do not invade, now Mr. Qi is no more, maybe the current situation is the situation where ghosts are haunting everywhere, he must be cautious, even if Master Ruan is the next so-called "saint", Chen Ping'an does not dare to take it lightly, in the final analysis, Chen Ping'an still trusts Mr. Qi more, for Master Ruan, who is not smiling, there must be awe, and there is no closeness.

The reason why Chen Ping'an dared to follow his feelings and take the initiative to find out the strangeness in the stream was that Master Ruan only walked on his front feet, Chen Ping'an didn't think that if there were really ghosts in the water, he dared to go out of the water and kill himself under the nose of the saint. Besides, Chen Ping'an now has the pair of landscape prints given by Mr. Qi in his sleeves, one of which is the "water" character seal, so the young man is particularly bold.

After Chen Ping'an threw two handfuls of stones one after another, he was about to bend down to pick them up, when someone not far away asked, "What are you doing?"

The girl with a ponytail in Tsing Yi turned out to be Ruan Xiu.

Chen Ping'an had been engrossed in dealing with the water, not noticing Miss Ruan's approach, nor hiding, not afraid of her jokes, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the surface of the stream, and replied honestly: "I think there is something dirty in the water, so I wonder if I can use a stone to smash it out." ”

Ruan Xiu looked at the stream, staring intently, her face sank.

Chen Ping'an asked, "Is there really a problem?"

Ruan Xiu shook her head, "I can't see it." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled: "It should be that I am suspicious." ”

Ruan Xiu said in a low voice: "You go back first, I want to eat something here and then go back to the shop, if my father asked, you said you didn't see it." ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "No problem." ”

He remembered something, took out an angular stone from the ground, and asked, "Miss Ruan, can I ask you what some words mean and how to read them?"

Ruan Xiu suddenly felt like a great enemy.

Study?

Books are the most terrifying enemies in the world. Flip through a page of the book casually, each text is like a big monk in a formation, to Ruan Xiu Yaowu, Ruan Xiu really has a headache every time she sees it, originally she followed her father Ruan Qiong into the town, she should go to the school to study, there is no need to help fight the iron sword, but I can't kill it, my stomach hurts today, my head is hot tomorrow, it may rain the day after tomorrow, and my feet are broken the day after tomorrow...... Ruan Qiong was really too lazy to hear those lame excuses anymore, so he let Ruan Xiu go.

It's just that today Ruan Xiu didn't want to show his cowardice in front of the young man, so he forced himself to calm down, and said with a far-fetched smile: "You write first." ”

When Chen Ping'an carved two words on the ground with a stone, Ruan Xiu changed her body, her face was radiant, and she smiled confidently: " These two words, it's too simple, I know them very young, a god word, a court word, together, is the name of a human body acupuncture point, the divine court, the so-called trick point, the reason why we are the head of all spirits, many of the spirit monsters who have cultivated the avenue, and finally have to transform into a person, it is because the human body is the most suitable for practice, three hundred and sixty-five large and small trick points, all are treasures like gold and silver mountains, the ancients have clouds, trick points, that is' The three souls and six spirits of our people are like children who eat a hundred meals, eat a bowl of rice in this family, drink a bowl of water in that family, and then continue to nourish and grow. ”

Ruan Xiu spoke eloquently, then stretched out a finger, pressed his head, and said with a smile: "As for this divine court, it's here, you pick up the hairline on your head, go up five minutes, this trick point, for me and my father, a soldier sword cultivation, is not very important, well, in our jargon, it doesn't belong to' The place where soldiers must fight', is dispensable, but those things that survive on incense, and the tricks here are very important, but my father said that those gods and ghosts have no great potential, no matter how big the magic power is, no matter how wide the ghost road is, it is just a poor worm under the fence, not worth mentioning. ”

Chen Ping'an couldn't understand everything, so he could only memorize by rote, and then asked "Juque" and "Taiyuan" respectively.

Ruan Xiu also replied one by one, although the girl doesn't like to read, it just doesn't like the classic books of Confucian sages, for the cultivation of soldiers and the practice of swords and sword casting, the girl likes it very much, and she has been familiar with the names of these tricks since she was a child.

Without waiting for Chen Ping'an to open her mouth to ask for help, the girl grinned and said, "In the future, when I have time, I will tell you the names, directions and uses of the three hundred and sixty-five tricks one by one." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled: "I'm sorry to trouble Miss Ruan." ”

Ruan Xiu asked, "Do you find it troublesome to ask you to buy pastries for me so many times?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head. It's a little bit of effort, of course, and it's not a hassle.

Ruan Xiu smiled happily: "Isn't this enough." ”

She suddenly felt a little regretful, "These things, even if you know them, they actually don't mean much, the reason why there are so many sideways and crooked ways in the world's cultivation is that they have different paths for cultivating qi and refining qi, and the difference is thousands of miles." Of course, my family also has its own two major mental methods of dispersing qi and nourishing qi, but it can't be passed on, it's not a question of whether my father agrees or not, Chen Ping'an, I'm sorry. ”

Chen Ping'an is not the kind of character who has to inch inch, so he quickly explained with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I just want to know more words, I didn't think about it so much." Besides, I have a boxing book that I can practice, but I almost can't practice the boxing pile on this boxing book, how can I be distracted. ”

Ruan Xiu smiled with relief and patted her chest gently, "That's good." ”

Trembling and majestic, the scenery is unique here.

Chen Ping'an hurriedly retracted his unintentional gaze, got up and said, "Miss Ruan, go back and wait for you to be free, I can go back to Mud Bottle Lane later anyway." ”

Ruan Xiu got up, nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”

Chen Ping'an trotted towards the blacksmith shop.

Ruan Xiu walked down the shore and came to the stream, she first took out a handkerchief, threw a piece of pastry into her mouth, and slowly chewed the aftertaste.

After Chen Ping'an arrived in the town, she reached out and rolled up a sleeve, revealing the scarlet bracelet, looked at the clear stream, and said in a deep voice: "The fire dragon walks the water." ”

The bracelet liquefied instantly, and a living creature awoke, struggling and twisting, until it finally turned into a small dragon wrapped in flames, which connected from end to end, just around the girl's wrist.

With the order of the girl in Tsing Yi.

The crimson dragon, which was originally less than a foot long, leaped into the stream.

One zhang, three zhang, ten zhang.

Fire dragons can also walk on water!

Ruan Xiu ordered: "It's okay." ”

The ten-foot-long fire dragon no longer continued to grow, but all the nearby streams evaporated, and not only that, but the upstream streams were like frightened defeated soldiers, and they did not dare to continue to charge, so they piled up together, causing the water level of the streams to continue to rise, while the downstream streams continued to rush away.

Ruan Xiu squinted.

Wait for the water to come out.

She walked at the bottom of the dry stream of the riverbed, and followed the ten-foot fiery dragon forward.

Now that the cave is shattered, the prohibition carefully arranged by the four saints has also disappeared, so it is no longer forbidden to spell magic.

This is also the root of why Ruan Qiong wants to make rules and thunder as soon as he makes a move, even if it was once the smallest of the thirty-six small caves, it is also the least known for its natural and earthly treasures, but after all, it is a blessed land from a small cave, and all kinds of benefits are still greatly beneficial to practice, and now there is no big array to restrain them, once no one restricts them, the monks from the outside world flock in, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the mind is not pure, and in the end, there are more than 6,000 people in the town, except for the old turtle king eight who survived by luck, the rest of the mortals are estimated to die within a day.

In fact, soldiers also pay attention to rules, but they are more flexible, far more flexible than Confucianism, and can act cheaply depending on things and places.

After about a stick of incense, the fire dragon that kept fluttering left and right in the riverbed seemed to have finally caught the cunning target, pressed it fiercely with one claw, and slowly lowered its head.

Ruan Xiu walked near the head of the fire dragon and looked down, under the claws of the fire dragon, there was a woman curled up, she was grabbed by the claws on her waist, she had a waist-length green silk, protecting her whole body.

She asked curiously: "Little river god, dare to spread wild at my doorstep? My father killed six river gods in a row back then, haven't you heard of it?"

The river woman, who had turned from a withered old woman into a young woman, pleaded: "Great immortal, great immortal, slaves and maids are just passing through this place, and they are absolutely harmless." What's more, the slave and maid dared to leak the breath of the Yin God, hoping to help Ruan Shengren increase the weight of the stream, thinking that he could do a little bit of his best, the great immortal should not be angry, if he felt that the small one was ugly and annoying, the small one would only dare to wander at night in the future......"

Ruan Xiu asked bluntly, "Do you know Chen Ping'an?"

The river woman who was held down by the fire dragon on the waist, her appearance aged rapidly, but she only dared to whimper pitifully, and the chick pecked the rice and nodded: "I know, the little one is the one from Xinghua Lane, and Chen Ping'an is an orphan in Mud Bottle Lane, and there are occasional intersections, but there are no grievances, the slave maid is just a few people who have rarely seen the town by the stream recently, and today I saw the young man practicing boxing, and I felt curious, so I took a few more looks, where did I think of it and caused such a catastrophe, the great immortal thought that the slave and maid did not understand the rules, and the subordinates were merciful......"

Ruan Xiu waved her hand, and the fire dragon returned into a red bracelet with a simple pattern and wore it on the girl's wrist.

Ruan Xiu was still standing in the distance, with the surging swift stream behind her.

But a scene that frightened the river woman appeared, if the stream encountered a high natural enemy, it descended before fighting, automatically bypassed, and rushed downstream.

What's even more terrifying is that He Po can sense this girl in Tsing Yi and does not use any Dao magic powers at all.

Ruan Xiu smiled and said: "Don't be in a daze, talk about the things in Xinghua Lane and Mud Bottle Lane, all of them, you can say whatever you know." ”

The river woman who regained her free body, her appearance and skin began to slowly regain her youth, but the next moment, she was so frightened that she couldn't help screaming, the original crow-blue waterfall green silk was shrinking in length, and she said heartbreakingly: "Why is my Tao passing!"

The girl in Tsing Yi ate the pastry and said vaguely: "Ah, so, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that I was born with the body of the god of fire, and I am the natural enemy of water." ”

He Po forced herself to calm down, and silently wept and begged: "I beg the great immortal to be merciful and forgive the slave and maid for this unintentional offense." ”

Ruan Xiu thought about it seriously, "In the future, I will call you over to tell the story, don't worry, I will hide my natal aura at that time." ”

He Po cried with a sad face, and did not dare to refuse, so she had to agree.

Ruan Xiu walked to the shore and turned around and said, "Don't take it as an example." ”

He Po said again and again that he didn't dare.

When the girl came ashore, she wagged her ponytail and walked to the blacksmith's shop.

Hepo's body was submerged in the stream, and her face was full of hideous resentment, but after suffering several losses, she began to know how to suppress this anger.

A string of other people's voices from elsewhere rang in her heart.

"Fool, put away your ignorance, do you know what the opportunity for that girl to preach in the future is? That is, to kill all the rivers and water gods of a continent, you little river woman, dare to have murderous intentions for this person? I am not afraid of making people laugh and lose their big teeth, even if people stretch out their necks for you to kill, it will only be you who will die in the end! Do you know how keenly she perceives any yin in the water? So what you are thinking in your heart at the moment, you are not mistaken, the first river god she will kill in the future is you! So think about how to remedy it, this disaster that was originally destroyed is also the seed of a great opportunity for you. ”

"This is the last time to remind you, if you have the slightest act of transgressing the rules, I will let you live and not die without anyone else's help. ”

After the sound of the river woman disappeared, she hovered in the water in a dementia, her body swaying, but lifeless.

The avenue is uncertain and frustrating.

————

Ruan Qiong saw his daughter jumping in the sword-casting room, and said angrily: "Are you happy to bully a river woman who is not in the climate?"

The girl smiled brightly and said, "Then wait for her to become the god of the river, and then I will bully her." ”

Ruan Qiong frowned and said: "Xiuxiu, don't take the river god and the river god seriously, in the end, it is the orthodox water god who is included in the spectrum of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas on a continent, although it is not as good as the five mountain gods of various countries, but it is not easy to kill them in the water." ”

The girl sighed and said casually, "Then let them have no water to live in." ”

Ruan Qiong's heart was shocked, and then he quickly suppressed the smile that was about to appear on the corner of his mouth.
