Chapter 276: Between the Strongest
Chen Ping'an has seen a lot of good-looking peers, Song Jixin, a neighbor in Mud Bottle Lane, Zhao Xuan, who once studied with Mr. Qi in the school, Lin Shouyi, and then the red-makeup man on Osmanthus Island who is difficult to distinguish between male and female, Gao Xuan, the prince of the Great Sui, but they are not as good as the young man in Huangliang Wine Shop.
After this person finished inscribed on the wall, he sat at the next table with the wine jar in his hand, asked for two big white bowls, and called Xu Jia to drink together, and Xu Jia, who knew the price of Huangliang wine best, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, uncovered the mud seal, helped pour the wine, touched the bowl and drank, very happy, and the smile on the old shopkeeper's face was a little more, but he was pitiful of the caged bird, with his back to the sunshine boy, sick.
The young man took the initiative to raise the wine bowl to Chen Ping'an and said with a smile: "My name is Cao Ci, a member of the Daduan clan in Middle Earth." ”
Chen Ping'an had no choice but to pick up the wine bowl, "My name is Chen Ping'an, the Great Li Clan of Aquarius." ”
Cao Ci nodded, his eyes full of appreciation, "Your martial arts foundation in the Three Realms is very good." ”
Chen Ping'an didn't know how to answer, so he had to take a sip of wine silently, always feeling a little strange.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally figured out the aftertaste, it turned out that this young man from the Middle Earth Divine Continent, whether it was gas or tone, did not look like a peer, but was very much like the barefoot old man in the down-and-out Mangosteen Tower. It's just that the young man lacks the condescending arrogance of the old man surnamed Cui, on the contrary, the big young man named Cao Ci speaks calmly, but even if the two sides are casually talking, Chen Ping'an will feel an invisible pressure.
How about Cao Ci, Ning Yao didn't feel anything, she was just a little unhappy, there was an extra eye-catching guy out of thin air, and she was a lot less interested in drinking.
and Chen Ping'an scribbled half a jar of yellow sorghum wine, and pulled Chen Ping'an to the door of the wine shop.
When Chen Ping'an was about to leave the wine shop, Cao Ci called out to Chen Ping'an with a smile, "Miss Ning you like, it's very good." The only bad thing is that we met many times and don't remember my name. ”
Chen Ping'an replied with a smile: "I think it's better." ”
Cao Ci laughed heartily, raised the wine bowl with one hand, waved goodbye to Chen Ping'an with the other, and smiled sincerely, "Chen Ping'an, after three days, I will start to strive to become the strongest fourth realm in the world." ”
It's another sentence that would seem strange if you chew it slightly.
Chen Ping'an clasped his fists, didn't say anything, turned his head and followed Ning Yao out of this small yellow sorghum blessed land.
In the wine shop, Xu Jia asked in wonder, "Do you like Miss Ning?"
Cao Ci smiled and waved his hand: "I like the invincible master in my mind, I like the queen mother who has two small dimples when she laughs, and I like Miss Ning who doesn't take me in her eyes, but they are not the kind you think, the love between men and women is very slow down to practice." ”
Cao Ci took a sip of wine and sighed: "I really can't imagine that I will like a certain girl in the future." ”
Xu Jia sighed, he believed whatever Cao Ci said, and then the shopkeeper was full of excitement, and changed the topic: "Listen to your tone, you are about to enter the fifth realm?"
Cao Ci nodded and said, "After staying in the Great Wall of Sword Qi for so long, it's time to break through the realm." ”
Xu Jia grinned and said, "If you were in your hometown, I guess you would be in the seventh realm now." ”
Without waiting for Cao Ci to speak, Xu Jia immediately added: "And before the Seven Realms, it will be the strongest Fourth Realm, Fifth Realm, and Sixth Realm!"
Xu Jia talked about this, and he was even happier than Cao Ci himself, "The old shopkeeper said that your current Fourth Realm is the strongest Fourth Realm in history, not the first person among the current Four Realms martial artists, which can be called unprecedented and unprecedented, is it true?"
Cao Ci said helplessly: "There is no ancient, I can probably be sure, but there is no one who will come later, I am just a pure martial artist, and I will not calculate the martial arts of the world for a hundred years and thousands of years in the future." ”
Xu Jia laughed, "Cao Ci, if I can't help but go to the eldest lady one day, I will definitely go to the Daduan Dynasty to play with you by the way." ”
Cao Ci nodded, "Then I'll prepare the wine early." ”
Xu Jia suddenly lowered his voice and prayed: "Cao Ci, why don't we fight, and then you deliberately lose to me, and then I will leave the Inverted Hanging Mountain, so I can go around and tell people that I won Cao Ci, you think, ten years later, a hundred years later, at that time, you are invincible in the world, and even the second Dao who fought in the world has changed from really invincible to really enemy, and I will become the only one who has won against you Cao Ci, and then I will definitely ask who this guy is all over the world, maybe the eldest lady will be impressed with me." ”
Cao Ci squinted with a smile, held the bowl in one hand, and gently patted his head with the palm of the other, "Okay, you Xu Jia defeated me Cao Ci, out of the inverted hanging mountain, just tell people so." ”
Xu Jia was a little weak-hearted, "You don't care now, you won't regret it in the future, right?"
Cao Ci drank the wine in the bowl, turned his head, and beckoned to the old shopkeeper: "Old Lu, are you reluctant to give me a jar of wine to drink?" I regret it now, I don't have a stomach, I can't suppress that remorse, if I drink more jar of forgetful wine, I will have no regrets for at least a hundred years!"
Xu Jia looked at the old shopkeeper pitifully.
The old man smiled and said: "Xu Jia, go and bring a jar of wine to Cao Ci, and remember, remember to think more about the shopkeeper in the future, don't secretly scold me all day long, or complain that I don't let you go to the rivers and lakes." ”
Xu Jia went to move wine.
Cao Ci only had the last bowl of wine left, and when he was waiting for the new wine to be served, he held the wine bowl in his hand, got up and stood under the wall, his eyes roamed, it had been nearly three years since the first drink, and there were a lot more new words on the wall, and finally Cao Ci looked at the three words in the lower corner, writing upright but rigid, and asked curiously: "Old Lu, the word that Chen Ping'an left on the wall is this 'sword qi chief'?"
The old man asked, "What, this kid is not simple?"
Cao Ci squatted down, took a sip of wine with a big white bowl, and his eyes were indifferent, "He may be the strongest three realms after me." ”
The old man is a little pity, the Wu Bird in the cage, to determine the length of a pure martial artist's martial arts, there is a time limit, not after the inscription, the Wu Bird can fly out of the cage at any time to peck out, but before and after Chen Ping'an's inscription, it happened to be a song and a tail for the master and apprentice, and there is no need to expect the Wu Bird to leave the bird cage during this time.
I don't have the guts.
Cao Ci and Xu Jia drank a jar of forgetful wine in half.
Xu Jia couldn't drink enough, the more he drank, the more drunk he became, and finally he slept dead on the wine table.
Cao Ci is a person who becomes more sober the more he drinks, and his eyes are shining.
Cao Ci suddenly said, "If it weren't for the master to pick me up, I really wanted to go to the world south of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, at most forty or fifty years, I would be able to dare those dozen big demons to break their wrists, before that, it would inevitably be a hearty battle of life and death." ”
The old man smiled: "Do you believe it or not, as long as you go out of the city, you will die?"
Cao Ci sighed.
The reason is very simple, the old man can understand it at a glance.
It is very likely that he, Cao Ci, has already entered the field of vision of the peak demon, and he is a person who must be killed, and he will definitely not give him forty or fifty years, or even a day more.
Cao Ci said helplessly: "Then go back to the Middle Earth Divine Continent honestly." ”
The old man said intentionally or unintentionally: "Kill the ancestor of the Dong family who penetrated the wild world and finally came out of nowhere, one sword qi Great Wall is enough, and there will only be one." If the demon clan raises tigers again and raises a Cao Ci who is expected to be in the eleventh realm of martial arts, I think they can kill themselves. ”
Cao Ci snorted, "I have to ask Master if he has reached the Eleventh Realm." I hope there is no ......"
The old man smiled and quipped: "You are too unconscionable as an apprentice, aren't you? Why don't you think about the master's goodness, at this point, you Cao Ci is almost as virtuous as Xu Jia, it's very bad." You are Cao Ci, alas, how can you be so mediocre. ”
Cao Ci shook his head, raised his arm, stretched out his palm, raised it above his head, and wiped it above the wine table, his voice was soft, but his eyes were determined: "Now Master's martial arts are so high that he can almost compete with those real mountain peaks...... Comparable, then if it weren't for the Eleventh Realm, wouldn't my Master, or me in the future, ......"
The old man smiled and said, "You can wait and see." ”
Cao Ci turned his head to look at the old man, "There are too few old-timers like you who are so talkative. ”
The old man laughed at himself: "That's because I'm a bad old man, and I've already accepted my fate." ”
Cao Ci sat silently at the wine table, Xu Jia snored like thunder, the old man had disappeared and gone elsewhere, of course, the Huangliang blessed land was slightly larger than imagined, and there would not really be only such a place as the wine shop, but it was indeed dilapidated, if it weren't for the efforts of one of the ancestors of the hundred schools of the princes to maintain it, it would have been similar to Lizhu Dongtian, and completely lost the suffix qualification of "Dongtian Blessed Land".
What will the saints of the Three Sects and the Hundred Schools of Thought be busy with every day?
How did the ten cave heavens, the thirty-six small cave heavens, and the seventy-two blessed lands come about?
After the Lizhu Cave Heaven in Aquarius was shattered, could it be that there were only thirty-five Cave Heavens?
In fact, many of the saints in the world need to open up their territory and expand the territory of the world.
At this point, the Taoist saints in the Qingyin world are different, they mainly pursue the height of Bai Yujing, layer upon layer, and keep going up.
And the heaven and earth of Buddhism is to seek the distance of Buddhism, and in the past and present lives and in the next life, people must live without doubt and without attachment.
Of course, the Confucianism in the vast world, in addition to opening up a new cave heaven and blessed land and educating the common people, also needs to keep an eye on the demon clan in the wild world.
The other two worlds are not idle.
The Taoist master taught Lu Shen to make waves in the vast world, and laid out the layout.
Doesn't the Confucian sub-sage accept disciples and preach in the world?
In the wine shop, even if Cao Ci had no one to chat with and no wine to drink, he was still in a stable mood and sat like that.
It's hard to imagine that people in martial arts will find it boring to break through the realm, and it's fun to press the realm.
When the old shopkeeper came back, he asked with a smile: "Cao Ci, apart from reaching the top of martial arts, I don't want anything else in this life?"
Cao Ci smiled: "What am I thinking?" ”
The old man teased: "Then you are not as good as my Xu Jia and that Da Li boy." ”
Cao Ci nodded.
In the end, the young man in white walked out of the wine shop, did not go to find the master who stayed in the private residence of the surname in a certain place in the inverted hanging mountain, but went straight to the foot of Gufeng Mountain, and near the gate of the square, the little Taoist boy and the man holding the sword said hello to the young man, Cao Ci stopped and chatted with them for most of the day, and then walked into the mirror, but when he got there, the old sword cultivator who was immersed in refining the natal sword, and the master Dao Gu who wore the magic sword on his waist, greeted him with a smile, Cao Ci stopped again and chatted with them for a long time.
Talk about Taoism, talk about swordsmanship, chat.
Cao Ci can talk to anyone about anything.
It's been like this for the past few years.
And those senior immortals who have already achieved fame, whether they are hidden masters or sword immortals who are in their prime, will even benefit a lot, and even feel ashamed of themselves because of a young man in the four realms of martial arts.
Cao Ci.
Cao Ci of Middle-earth Divine Continent.
The family background is mediocre, the ancestors have been farming for generations, and it is not even a small rich family, a war, the paradise was razed to the ground, and began to be displaced with the refugees, and there will be life and death every day.
Then he was seen by a tall woman riding a horse alone and accepted as a disciple.
The woman held him in her arms at that time, and rode a horse together in the snowy night, and she smiled at the child who was only seven or eight years old: "Cao Ci, from now on, you will be the only disciple of my Pei Cup." ”
Cao Ci walked slowly through the city north of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, chatting with acquaintances along the way, and if no one greeted him, he would occasionally stop and look up at the fluttering paper kites, the high raised eaves, or the painted door gods that were pasted on the doors.
Finally, he slowly walked up to the city, returned to the small thatched hut behind the old thatched hut, had nothing to do, flipped through a few books, read a few pages and put them down, walked out of the thatched hut, and walked seven or eight miles on the road before finding the grandfather Chen who was standing on the head of the city and looking at the south.
The young man in white jumped lightly onto the city.
One old and one young, two by two speechless.
————
Out of the shop, after Ning Yao asked the location of the Stork Inn, he took Chen Ping'an in the direction of catching and releasing the ferry.
As a result, at the entrance of the alley where the inn was located, Chen Ping'an met Mrs. Gui with an anxious face, and Jin Su, who was sullen.
Seeing Chen Ping'an, who was safe and sound, Mrs. Gui was relieved, she didn't say anything serious, and she didn't even ask Chen Ping'an why she hadn't returned for a long time, but just said hello to the "Ning girl" that Chen Ping'an said, and returned to Guihua Island, where the ferry was captured.
Jin Su originally wanted to complain a few words, this guy caused himself to scold the master so bloody, but when she saw the girl with a sword in a dark green robe for the first time, looking at this girl surnamed Ning with a calm expression but sharp edge, Jin Su was a little afraid to speak.
The three of them didn't go to the alley inn, and Ning Yao heard that they were going to visit the attractions including the Elk Cliff on the Inverted Hanging Mountain today, so she said that she hadn't been to see it either, so they would go together.
Although Jin Su was a little uneasy in her heart, she didn't want to be too cowardly, so she took the initiative to speak and chatted with the "Ning girl" who didn't look very easy to get along with.
Ning Yao is actually not arrogant, just lazy, but if a half-baked person like Jin Su asks her to ask her, Ning Yao will answer, but every time she answers very briefly.
In the end, Jin Su really didn't know how to deal with her, so he began to be silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
But deep down, Jin Su turned the river into the sea.
This young girl Ning claimed to be from the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
Outsiders enter the Great Wall of Sword Qi from the Inverted Hanging Mountain, as long as they have money, but the sword cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi want to enter the Inverted Hanging Mountain, and it is difficult for the sword immortals who have made great achievements.
No wonder Jin Su was in a reverie, in fact, she was not wrong, Miss Ning's surname played a big role.
But Jin Su only guessed half right.
There are many inside stories that happened on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and Mrs. Gui was reluctant to say more to this proud disciple, so Jin Su only roughly knew about the previous battle of the Thirteenth Battle, even if the girl surnamed Ning next to her only dared to think that she was one of the descendants of the Ning family of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and this trip may be burdened with a family task.
The reason why Jin Su didn't dare to rely on the most exaggerated "truth" was very simple, there was still Chen Ping'an by their side.
Due to the appearance of Ningyao, Elk Cliff, Shangxianglou, Lei Zetai, three scenic spots, Jin Su are all restrained, not very comfortable, dull and tasteless.
After all, Jin Su was born in an osmanthus girl, not only has excellent cultivation qualifications, but also has a delicate heart, so many times, she will deliberately distance herself and let Chen Ping'an be alone with the Ning girl who doesn't like words. When Ning Yao and Chen Ping'an are together, they often say whatever comes to mind.
Chen Ping'an is not very interested in those turbulent dynasty changes, the general trend of the world, and the rise and fall of the human race.
Actually, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand.
But when Ning Yao said this, he was willing to write them down one by one and take them to heart.
Jin Su is actually a little strange, why such a cold-tempered girl is willing to talk so much with the stuffy gourd Chen Ping'an.
During this period, the three of them climbed the Lei Ze Terrace with other tourists, and suddenly an old Taoist holding a gold and silver dust whisk in his hand appeared, standing on the steps, and smiled at Ning Yao: "Master Zun ordered to come down, if Miss Ning needs anything in the Inverted Hanging Mountain, you can mention it." Even if you go to Gufeng to see the three clear bells, you can do it. ”
Ning Yao naturally looked at Chen Ping'an, Chen Ping'an shook her head slightly, she shook her head and said, "We won't go to Gufeng Mountain." ”
The old Taoist smiled, "Then the poor Dao will not bother, as long as there is something, Miss Ning will find a Taoist priest to inform the inverted hanging mountain." ”
Ning Yao didn't really want to talk, but when she saw Chen Ping'an hugging her fists with the old Taoist to thank her, she nodded and said two words, "Okay." ”
Jin Su muttered, "Jiaolong Zhenjun?"
The old Taoist was already about to leave Lei Zetai, as the third-in-command of the inverted hanging mountain, the Taoism was so profound that even the monks of the entire Nanpo Continent were like thunder, that is, Jin Su was silently reciting in his heart, and he could "hear" it clearly, and after hearing the sound, he smiled and asked: "This girl, but is there something?"
Jin Su's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the younger generation admires Lao Zhenjun too much, so he can't help but speak out, and hopes that Lao Zhenjun will forgive his sins." ”
The old Taoist smiled heartily: "The poor road is not so domineering, and the rules of the upside-down hanging mountain, there is no road that says the poor road, and you will be punished." ”
The old Taoist disappeared in a flash.
Jin Su swallowed.
This old immortal of the upper five realms of the upside-down hanging mountain is a Taoist true monarch who is famous for killing the dragon of the South China Sea, and then he just stood in front of him and chatted with himself?
Jiaolong Zhenjun's eleven realm cultivation is definitely enough to crush the vast majority of Jade Pu Realm Qi cultivators in the world.
No one doubted that the title of Heavenly Monarch was in the pocket of the old Daoist.
In the end, when the three of them returned to the Stork Inn, Ning Yao began to take the initiative to chat, asking and answering questions with Jin Su, and the latter said less.
Ning Yao was in a good mood, Chen Ping'an had bought a pair of small spiritual weapons, in the style of yin and yang fish, at the vendor at the foot of Elk Cliff Mountain.
When he arrived at the Stork Inn, the unsmiling young shopkeeper said that it was full, so Ning Yao didn't say a word, and directly took out a Gu Yu money, put it on the counter, and asked if it was enough.
The young shopkeeper's eyelids twitched, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Ping'an had already snatched back Gu Yu's money, and smiled at the young shopkeeper: "Miss Ning is friends with us, the shopkeeper, you are accommodating?"
The young shopkeeper smiled and said, "I want to be accommodating, but I can't drive away the other guests, right?
Ning Yao said bluntly: "Then I'll change to another inn to stay." ”
Chen Ping'an took a deep breath, took out another Gu Yu coin, and gently placed it on the counter, "Trouble the shopkeeper to discuss it with the guests?"
The young shopkeeper smiled slightly, put away Gu Yuqian, "Okay, the guest officer is waiting." ”
Chen Ping'an returned the original Gu Yu money to Ning Yao, and she asked, "What is this?"
Chen Ping'an smiled: "I'll invite you to stay in the guest house." ”
Ning Yao shook his palm, weighed the Gu Yu money, and said helplessly: "How hard it is for you to earn a Gu Yu money, but on this side of our Sword Qi Great Wall, this thing is not very valuable." You call it a swollen face and a fat man, it's boring, what is it to change an inn, where to live is not to live, I'm not as squeamish as you think. ”
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Then you will return Gu Yu's money to me?"
Ning Yao glanced at him, decisively put away the Gu Yu money, and gloated: "You just wait and feel distressed." ”
In the end, the Stork Inn vacated the largest set of rooms, outside the side door of a study, there was a private courtyard, Chen Ping'an felt very good.
Ning Yao didn't feel anything.
Before the young shopkeeper finally left, in front of the three of them, he put the Gu Yu money on the table with a smile, "After thinking about it, I think this money may be too hot, I don't dare to accept it, the girl lives here, like Chen Gongzi, how much money should it be, I will record it in the account, and go back to Osmanthus Island to ask for money." ”
Chen Ping'an was confused.
Jin Su reciprocated with a grateful look.
Chen Ping'an sat at the table and was about to reach out to pick up the Gu Yu money, but was held down by Ning Yao and put away by her.
Seeing Chen Ping'an's dazed face, Ning Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was provoking. Chen Ping'an smiled and pretended that nothing had happened.
Jin Su said goodbye and left.
After the door was closed, Chen Ping'an took out his belongings and treasures and put them on the table.
Even Ning Yao was a little surprised, and said with emotion: "Chen Ping'an, you can, your ability to make money is so great, how did you change from a good money boy to a rich boy? You are the fake Chen Ping'an, right?"
Chen Ping'an learned from Ning Yao, leaning back, his hands around his chest.
The boy's face was full of pride.
Today, the upside-down hanging mountain.
There is a Ning Yao who has never been like this, and there is Chen Ping'an who has never been like this.
Until the two met beautifully and reunited.
