When the second snow came, Chen Qingshan rented a small courtyard in Shanyue City.

It is a small alley with quite high ground, and when you get out of the alley, it is like going down a mountain, and you have to walk a long slope to enter the long streets of the city.

This alley is called Guhuai Lane.

As the name suggests, there is a very old locust tree in the alley.

It was just outside the small courtyard that Chen Qingshan rented.

When negotiating the price, the landlord used a proverb from a thousand years ago to fool people in order to increase the rent.

There are ghosts next to the wood, and the world is peaceful.

Chen Qingshan scoffed.

Huai'an, Huai'an.

Four generations of emperors, none of them ended well.

There has never been real peace in the world, where is there peace in the world next to the wood?

If you say such a thing, probably the world will not believe it.

But probably because that person didn't look like Chen Qingshan as a worldly person, he wanted to gamble, betting that he was a Taoist who was pure and cultivated and didn't care about the world.

It's a pity that Chen Qingshan not only asks about the world, but also often asks a lot.

It's just a pity that before he could say anything, he just put his hand in his sleeve, and someone came up from the end of the alley.

"This is a person who views mountains and rivers, if you play such a trick with him, you are not afraid of being remembered by their people?"

The owner glanced at Zhuxi, who came up in a black robe, and when he looked back at the young man in black, his face changed, and he didn't even ask for rent, so he ran away.

Chen Qingshan stood at the entrance of the courtyard, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuxi who was walking in the snow, and stretched his hand out of his sleeve, it was a money bag.

Although the landlord said it was nonsense, Chen Qingshan actually didn't plan to bargain, so if Zhuxi didn't come, probably the landlord would have been able to receive a large amount of objective rent.

Zhuxi looked at the money bag in Chen Qingshan's hand, and was also stunned.

"It seems that you people who view mountains and rivers are very rich, and you don't blink an eye for such a wrongful behavior, and you plan to pay."

Zhuxi said with a sigh.

Even if he was the ruler of the Heavenly Prison in Shanyue City, his monthly salary was only ten taels of silver.

Naturally, he couldn't be so generous as Chen Qingshan.

Chen Qingshan threw the money bag in his hand to Zhuxi, and said calmly: "In the cold winter, we always have to find a place to celebrate the New Year, and the people of our River Sect naturally don't really live in the river. ”

After all, if this logic is followed, then the people of the Qingtian Dao will probably have to live in the heavens in order to meet the expectations of the world.

Zhuxi looked at the bag of money in his arms and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Chen Qingshan turned around and pushed open the courtyard door and walked towards the small courtyard.

"People are scared away by you, and the money naturally wants you to give it to him, and people who view mountains and rivers have always had a good reputation."

Maybe it's just a bad reputation.

Zhuxi didn't say anything, opened the money bag, touched more than half of it, walked to the gate of the courtyard, shook the rest of the money in the money bag, looked at Chen Qingshan and said, "Actually, it's only a small half." ”

Chen Qingshan stepped on the snow in the yard, stopped, looked back at the two coins in Zhuxi's hand, smiled softly, and said, "If you feel pity, you can keep the rest of the money yourself." ”

Zhuxi raised his eyebrows, then stuffed the money back into the money bag, and said, "The reputation of the Heavenly Hell is also bad, but it is still better than your view of mountains and rivers. ”

Zhuxi stuffed the money bag into his arms, and then leaned against the door, quietly looking at Chen Qingshan who was walking in the snow in the courtyard.

"What are you looking for?"

Chen Qingshan said without raising his head: "This courtyard looks like no one has lived in it for a long time, and it needs to be cleaned." ”

"The broom is in the left corner." Zhuxi said, but looked at Chen Qingshan in surprise. "Are you a little short-sighted?"

Chen Qingshan said calmly: "It's just a little bit. ”

Zhuxi said very curiously: "How did you get here?" ”

Chen Qingshan walked to the corner that Zhuxi said, picked up the broom, tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "It's not how it came from, it's born." ”

Zhuxi raised his eyebrows and said, "I probably know why you went up the mountain to cultivate in the first place. ”

Chen Qingshan smiled, walked through the snow curtain with a broom, swept some dust at the door, and said, "Yes." ”

There was a slight sound of falling snow in the yard, and the sound of sweeping the floor.

Zhuxi quietly looked at the young man in the courtyard who didn't have good eyes.

"When I first started going up the mountain, Master told me that you should leave some sermons in your eyes so that you can see more clearly. I originally wanted to keep the word green mountains, but Master asked me to keep the mountains and rivers. ”

Chen Qingshan swept the ground and said softly.

He said that it is not enough to just look at the green mountains, but to see farther. It's just that I didn't think at the time that what Master said about looking at mountains and rivers was different from what I thought of looking at mountains and rivers. The mountains and rivers he spoke of should be farther and vast. ”

"Later, I realized that he wasn't talking about mountains and rivers."

"It's human."

Chen Qingshan said, but he stopped with a broom, raised his head and squinted at the snow outside the eaves.

Squinting is naturally not to do anything deterrent, but just to focus the gaze and see farther.

"The world has never heard of Chen Qingshan as a short-sighted person."

Zhuxi stood at the gate of the courtyard and said.

"Because they heard that Chen Qingshan is the Chen Qingshan of the cultivation world. The cultivation of a great avenue will naturally not be short-sighted, and the vitality of heaven and earth falls in the eyes, and you can see as far as you want. ”

Chen Qingshan said calmly: "My initial idea was just like this. ”

Of course, people will change, as a matter of course.

"Then why are you short-sighted today?"

"Because it's almost the New Year." Chen Qingshan lowered his head with a smile and continued to sweep the ground. "Even if you think you are a wicked person in the world, you have to give yourself a little vacation to rest."

Zhuxi was silent for a moment and said, "I thought you were waiting to cross the mountain." ”

"Over the hills? Naturally, you can live as long as you want. It seems that when I talked to Chen Huaifeng that day, you didn't go far. ”

Bamboo Creek certainly didn't go far.

Although he was shocked by Chen Qingshan's words, he felt very embarrassed, but after all, shame is shame, and no one can see it.

"Why don't you go back to your mountains and rivers for the New Year, and stay in Shanyue City for the New Year?"

Chen Qingshan raised his head, laughed softly, and said, "Because I'm worried that someone will have nothing to rely on and no one will accompany him for the New Year, so I will rent a house here and wait." ”

Zhuxi looked at Chen Qingshan quietly, but he didn't say anything about this sentence.

The courtyard was quiet again, Chen Qingshan swept the ground for a while, probably a little lazy, so he put the broom in his hand aside and sat down on the steps under the eaves.

"You haven't swept there yet." Zhuxi looked at Chen Qingshan and said.

"I know." Chen Qingshan faced the slowly drifting snow in a courtyard, "I am clean, unstained with sludge, scorching hot and sincere, I can be described as a little saint in the world." ”

Zhuxi looked at this young man who probably really liked to praise himself, and was speechless.

"When you left Shanyue City a few days ago, I thought you were going back to the north."

Chen Qingshan said softly: "The north is not good, there is a senior brother in the north who watches Xuemei, if I am not in the view, but wandering outside the view, I may be killed there by him, so it is better to stay away." ”

"And where did you go?"

Chen Qingshan tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Liuyun Mountain Range, spent a lot of money and hired a killer. ”

"Kill whom?"

Chen Qingshan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuxi, and said, "Do you suspect that I will plot against you?" If I want to kill you, why bother. ”

Zhuxi said softly, "Who knows? After all, anyone can see that the sword wound in your heart has not healed yet. ”

"Hahaha." Chen Qingshan probably thought it was very interesting, sat there and squinted at Zhuxi, and said, "Dear little Taoist, why do you always like to overestimate yourself? ”

Zhuxi is certainly not a gossip.

A Dao Sect Upper Realm monk in his forties, who is in the Nine Realms of the Path, will not be a Pathist.

But listening to the words in Chen Qingshan's laughter, Zhuxi felt a little irrefutable.

"Anyway, it's none of your business." Chen Qingshan stopped smiling, looked at Zhuxi and said, "You don't have to keep staring at me, and I won't invite you to eat hot pot." ”

Zhuxi was silent for a while, didn't say anything, turned around and held the bag of money, braved the wind and snow, and walked out.

The downhill road of the alley is very similar to going down the mountain, and the wind and snow are slowly drifting, but there is a person standing under the roadside tree and watching.

Seeing Zhuxi walking out of the alley in a black robe, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop."

Zhuxi said calmly in a voice.

The man stood there obediently, standing in the snow, his sleeves rolled up, his eyebrows bent, looking at Zhuxi very flatteringly and smiling.

"Is there anything else your lordship doing?"

Zhuxi walked down the slope, stopped in front of the man, then took out the money bag in his arms, loosened the strap, reached out and grabbed most of the money from it, and then threw the money bag to the man.

The one who was waiting downhill outside the alley was naturally the owner of the yard.

Although he was scared away by the two, he probably still had some hopes, although he no longer had any idea about being able to receive the rent, but he still wanted to see if the Taoist of the mountain and river temple was staying, or leaving, and if he left, he could continue to find tenants, so he hid here tremblingly and peeked.

At this time, watching Zhuxi take out the bulging money bag, the man was also a little overjoyed, although he saw Zhuxi take out most of the money, but he didn't care, after all, something is better than nothing, so he took the money bag with a smile.

"Thank you, sir, just take the rest."

Zhuxi said calmly: "What do I want your money for?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, looked at the money in Zhuxi's hand, and said hesitantly: "Then this is?" ”

Zhuxi also threw the money in his hand into the man's arms, and then passed by, the man hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes and continued in a panic, and then heard Zhuxi say lightly: "I will go to the Chengju Division and pay the fine to the Chengju Division." ”

The man still wanted to struggle, but before he could turn around and chase after the Celestial Adult, he heard a chuckle from the alley behind him.

When I turned around, I saw the Taoist of the mountain and river view leaning on the alley with his arms crossed, looking at this side with a smile.

I guess it's a lot of fun.

The man smiled apprehensively, trying to return the money.

The Taoist just waved his hand, and then walked back into the alley.

Kamigawa's laws have always been strict.

So probably he is going to be on the public list in front of the government.

There seemed to be some subtle, distant bells in the wind and snow.

The man sighed and crouched down, picking at some spilled coins in the snow.

It wasn't long before I heard a creaking sound.

When the man raised his head, he saw that the Taoist of the mountain and river view had gone and returned, and stopped in front of him.

"What's your name?"

The man flatteringly held the money in his hand and said with a smile: "Zhang San, a real person, the little one is called Zhang San." ”

"Zhang San ....." Chen Qingshan laughed softly and said, "There are not many people called Zhang San. ”

Although the name Zhang San is known in the world, there are probably not many people who will be named Zhang San.

"Also, you don't have to call me a real person, although there may be other Taoists who like to be called a real person, but I don't like it."

Zhang San listened to Chen Qingshan's words, thought about it with some trepidation, and said, "Then what should I be called?" ”

Chen Qingshan took out another money bag from his sleeve, threw it into the arms of Zhang San, who was squatting on the ground and picking up the money, and said with a chuckle: "Call me a fairy." ”

When Zhang San heard this title, he was a little hesitant.

Although many years ago, there was indeed a saying that those who cultivated the Tao were called immortals.

But in the current world, there are few such titles.

Because His Majesty is probably not very fond of people thinking about becoming immortals.

"If you call me an immortal, the people of Heavenly Hell will not dare to have any ideas." Chen Qingshan said with a smile, "You just swagger and call Chen Shenxian, your Lord Zhuxi won't have more than a word." ”

Zhang San looked up at this young Taoist, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Okay, Immortal Chen." ”

"Help me get some groceries." Chen Qingshan continued.

Zhang San looked at the other money bag in his arms and understood why this Taoist had gone and returned.

"What do the gods want to buy?"

Chen Qingshan thought for a while and said: "Of course, it is something that makes people happy like a fairy, such as wine, such as delicious food, and then buy some groceries, such as small chairs, small hot pots and the like." ”

Zhang San nodded hurriedly, and didn't pick up a few coins on the ground, holding the money bag and walking towards the long street in the snow below.

Chen Qingshan looked at Zhang Sanyuan with a smile, and he didn't know if he would take some kickbacks.

In short, the name Zhang San sounds easy to make people feel like an outlaw fanatic.

Chen Qingshan laughed for a long time, and then suddenly turned around, his robe flew in the snow, and his whole body spread out, pointing to the alley.

The bell in the alley rang loudly, and someone cut through the wind and snow with a sword, and also stopped the sudden mountain and river.

"Actually, I don't think the gods are good, it's better to be called immortals, maybe it's better."

The black-robed sword cultivator who appeared in the alley at some point calmly returned the sword to the sheath, and then caught the umbrella that had just been released, stood under the tree, and looked at Chen Qingshan at the entrance of the alley and said.

Chen Qingshan withdrew Dao Yun, lowered his hand, and quietly looked at the person under the locust tree.

Presumably, there are indeed ghosts next to the wood.

"Immortals are born, and immortals are those who enter the world and can be worshipped." Chen Qingshan said calmly, "So I'm an immortal. ”

The black-robed sword cultivator was stunned for a moment, and said, "Where did you say that?" ”

"I said it."

The alley was speechless for a long time.

"The people who view the mountains and rivers are probably indeed some geniuses."

"Naturally." Chen Qingshan said, his gaze fell on the sword in Jian Xiu's hand, and then said softly, "Falling Leaf Cold Bell, Flowing Cloud Sword Sect Ye Han Bell." ”

The black-robed sword cultivator's left hand gently rubbed the sword grid under the hilt, and a slight bell rang in the alley, and he said calmly, "Yes." ”

Chen Qingshan quietly watched the Liuyun Sword standing under the tree with an umbrella and sword for a long time, and then said lightly: "What are you doing here?" ”

Ye Hanzhong said calmly: "A few days ago, you went to the Sword Sect and found my junior brother Han Cicada and asked him to kill someone. ”

"Yes."

"I don't think it's right."

Chen Qingshan squinted at him and said, "Why is it not appropriate." ”

Ye Hanzhong said softly: "My price is fairer than his, so it's not appropriate." ”

Chen Qingshan said calmly: "At the beginning, you went to kill Liu Yueyue. ”

Ye Hanzhong wasn't curious about how Chen Qingshan knew about those things in Daze, but said slowly: "Yes, it's a pity that he was rescued." ”

"So I'm looking for the chiller, not you." Chen Qingshan said calmly: "Our people from the River Sect will not kill Liu Yueyue, and you will, so we are not all the way, since we are not all the way, even if the price is fair, I will not look for you Ye Hanzhong." ”

Ye Hanzhong said softly: "That's really a pity. But I'm curious why you've been standing at the mouth of the alley. ”

Chen Qingshan sneered and said, "Because it's probably too close to the people of the Liuyun Sword Sect, it's not fair to negotiate the price." ”

Therefore, Chen Qingshan would talk to Chen Huaifeng in close proximity, but he was always separated from Ye Hanzhong by a whole alley.

Ye Hanzhong gently rubbed the long sword in his hand, sighed and said, "It's a pity, but what if I keep standing under the tree and don't leave?" ”

Chen Qingshan raised his hand, surrounded by the wind, and said calmly: "Then probably we have to go into the mountains and rivers to talk about some other things." ”

Ye Hanzhong stood under the tree for a long time, and then said softly: "Forget it, you Chen Qingshan is too difficult to kill, but I'm curious, how did you know that I was here." ”

Chen Qingshan said calmly: "Probably when the wind and snow blew through your sword and a bell rang in the world. ”

Ye Hanzhong looked down at his sword, and then said softly, "I'll pay attention next time." ”

Ye Hanzhong walked out of the tree with an umbrella and walked towards the other end of the alley.

"It's useless to pay attention next time."

Chen Qingshan stood in the alley, looked at Ye Hanzhong's back as he left in the snow, and said calmly: "Because next time, my injury will be healed." ”

"So if there is a next time, it can only be paid attention to in the next life."

Ye Hanzhong walked quietly in the snow, smiled softly, and said, "Pay attention to what? ”

Chen Qingshan said slowly: "Be careful not to meet a person named Chen Qingshan. ”

The wind and snow are all over the alley.

Ye Hanzhong walked for a long time, and said lightly: "The matter of the next life, let's talk about it in the next life." ”

It wasn't until the sword cultivator of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect left the alley that Chen Qingshan walked towards the small courtyard again.

Push open the courtyard door that was covered by the wind and snow.

Chen Qingshan squinted his eyes and whispered, "It seems that this wind and snow are indeed not so calm. ”

Someone in the courtyard coughed softly and said, "Yes, senior brother." ”
