A small inkstone, named "release pool", is cute and amiable, and the heart is happy when you look at it, and some Buddhist scriptures say that the meaning of compassion is born. According to Princess Cui, this inkstone came from the people, and was later searched into the wealthy Cui family, which was one of her dowries.

There is a slender bamboo tube, only put aside eight bamboo sticks, the years are long, some dry cracks, the vermilion lacquer falls off, and the insect and bird seal of "the world's text is authentic" is written. They are dry for the sky, Kun for the earth, earthquake for thunder, Xun for the wind, Kan for water, separation for fire, Gen for the mountain, and Dui for Ze.

In the end, Chen Qingniu rummaged through the east and west, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and even found a bookmark with a very good history for him, which was made of the wings of the fat relics of ancient beasts, and this thing could best "calm the water".

Princess Cui looked at the young man with a bookmark between her fingers and her eyes shining, and asked suspiciously: "This thing can dispel moisture and miasma, I know it, is there any other use?"

Chen Qingniu put the bookmark into an ancient book, and then asked her for a small bookcase, in addition to the five books, the inkstone and the bamboo tube were also put into it. Chen Qingniu covered the box, and then said: "Avoiding water and calming water are two concepts, the former is like a scholar participating in the imperial examination and winning the promotion, but later it is a jinshi and the first, a world of difference......"

She blinked her eyes and interrupted Chen Qingniu's words, "Suzaku is okay, if it is in the Sui Dynasty in the north, there has always been a saying of 'gold lifting people, silver jinshi', and it is more embarrassing to be admitted to the jinshi, and it is extremely difficult to fill the gaps, so it is better to raise people in the local ......"

Chen Qingniu rolled his eyes. Princess Cui seized the opportunity, and after such a small evil breath, she felt a lot less depressed in her heart, and she no longer continued to expose her shortcomings.

Chen Qingniu patted the bookbox and continued: "Don't underestimate the little gadgets that are more than an inch long, it seems to be not much different from the cicada wings, but if it falls among the maritime merchants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is a truly priceless treasure, which is tantamount to a cornucopia, because as long as this thing is placed on a ship, it will not be affected by all floods and floods, and the sea voyage, with it, it is equivalent to having a talisman, a trip of tens of millions of miles, the risk is huge, and the benefits are even greater, so the value of a fat bookmark can be imagined." It is rumored that the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was a disciple of the Sanqing Dynasty, and when he went down the mountain, he was given a whole fat wing by the ancestor, with this thing, his maritime trade was invincible, and then he established the country with this, and now the country has stretched for thousands of years......"

She asked casually, "The release pond and bamboo skewers are not as precious as the fat wings?"

Chen Qingniu hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Make do, it's good, that's it." ”

Princess Cui sneered: "If I guessed correctly, then the release pond and the eight bamboo sticks, even in Master Chen Daxian's Guanyin Seat, are still first-class treasures, right? I don't know who it was just now, trying my best to hide my emotions, I still have an unobstructed view of my scalp tingling, sweating on my back, trembling hands, and red eyes!"

Chen Qingniu was not embarrassed at all, but was a little disappointed by his lame cover-up, "It seems that my skills in picking up leaks in this pit do need to be strengthened." There's no way, my temperament is too sincere, and it's harder for me to deceive people than to ascend to the sky......"

Among the treasures and magic weapons collected by Chen Qingniu at present, it should be the best "square inch sword mound" given by Bai Jiao, even if those flying swords that have been raised for an unknown number of years are abandoned and lost, it will not delay it from winning the crown. If it weren't for the heaviest chance of the world's treasures, or no matter how big Shanghu Lake was, Chen Qingniu would be willing to look for the traces of those small swords, which would really be tantamount to "looking for a needle in a haystack". It can be seen from this that Chen Qingniu is obsessed with wealth.

Then there is the book "Rites and Justice" and the eight bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube.

Next is the inkstone release pond and the "elbow back long life note".

However, this is only Chen Qingniu's rough estimate, it is impossible to be accurate, and the person who is really qualified to palm their eyes and accurately estimate their value is actually the woman who likes to drink.

As for the "most valuable" fat testament bookmark, it was a clumsy trick performed by Chen Qingniu, and he never wanted to give Princess Cui a glimpse of it, and it was exposed on the spot.

Chen Qingniu "ate and drank enough", a big autumn breeze, in a good mood, and said: "It's good to be rich, you look at this study, I estimate that I will soon be able to buy a glass workshop." ”

Princess Cui laughed at herself: "What's the use?"

Chen Qingniu replied in a non-believable manner, "When you are penniless, you will know what is the use." ”

Chen Qingniu walked around casually in the study and began to ponder a question, if the more than a dozen vassal kings of the Suzaku Dynasty were so generous, coupled with a large inner palace that collected the treasures of the whole country, and the Guanyin Throne was exhausted, wouldn't it be possible to directly compete with Longhu Mountain and Jisui Xue Palace?

It's just a red bird, far from being able to loot the Nanzhan Continent to the point of drying up and fishing, why don't you do it? Presumably, the other forces will not join forces to fight quickly for a while and a half, and they have already tossed the Guanyin Seat to the sky and swaggered back to the ancestral court of Qing'e Mountain.

What is it that makes Guanyinzuo constrained? The branch of the Lotus Peak where he is located has been in decline in the past few years, but in the end, there are still Rouge Mountain and Linglong Cave Heaven supporting on the table, looking at the southern Zhanbu Continent, it is still an invincible posture. After Zhu Hongying heard that he was a guest of Guanyin, Chen Qingniu remembered the posture of bowing low and being small.

Infighting?

From the sword embryo Huang Dong to Xiao Xue, there is indeed intrigue within the Guanyin seat, and he even does not hesitate to fight.

Further, what are the three branches of the Guanyin Throne, each supporting a secular dynasty? So will the Zhu family of the Suzaku Dynasty itself be the forbidden body of a certain force?

Chen Qingniu finally set his eyes on the woman in front of him.

Princess Cui looked ignorant and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Chen Qingniu smiled casually: "It's beautiful and delicious." ”

She suddenly said angrily: "Please respect yourself!"

Chen Qingniu didn't care, picked up the small bookcase, sandwiched it under his armpit, and before leaving the study, Zhengse promised: "Zhu Zhenying's matter, I will definitely help solve it before I leave Liangzhou." ”

She wanted to speak, but she stopped.

Chen Qingniu said bluntly: "Treating the symptoms or treating the root cause, it's already beyond my ability, don't expect too much, I only dare to guarantee the safety of the current county lord, as for the behind-the-scenes people who shot at Zhu Zhenying, as long as he doesn't come to me for trouble, I won't take the initiative to provoke him." ”

Chen Qingniu had a sentence in his stomach that he didn't say. If you Princess Cui are actually already involved, then the gods will be difficult to save.

Chen Qingniu walked out of the study, and for no reason remembered the "Rites and Justice" that could have been ten grades, as well as those pocket flying swords that were thrown away by Bai Jiao as garbage, and lamented: "They are all losers!"

————

Chen Qingniu walked out of the Biluo building alone, and saw Xie Shiji standing beside Bai Jiao, who was dressed in white like snow, but temporarily wore a hat to cover her face, she was trembling, mixed with a little excitement that even she couldn't explain, just like a carp saw the legendary dragon gate.

Chen Qingniu knew in his heart that the most suitable place to raise dragons between heaven and earth, in addition to the monk's magic treasure and the natural cave blessed land, there is actually an excellent place in the world, that is, the palace, there are two sayings among the monks, respectively called "the foot of the Son of Heaven is the Dragon Pond", "on the side of the emperor's couch, there must be a real dragon to sleep" The meaning of the two sentences is simple, one is to say that there must be a dragon swimming around the emperor, as if in the dragon pool, and the other is to say that the king of a country to whom the destiny of heaven returns, in fact, there is also a real dragon in a sleeping state hidden around him, and its thickness and size symbolize the strength and weakness of a country's fortune. It's just that the truth of this matter is in the hands of the Wangqi scholars, especially the officials of the Qin Tianjian Prison, ordinary monks can only vaguely feel the existence of the dragon qi, and the military generals of the Wenchen army gather on the side of the king, and often describe it as "clouds follow the shadow", not without reason.

If two dragons confront each other, there will be a disaster of military revolution in a country, or a rebellion or usurpation.

The vassal king serves the python, the python is different but close, naturally close, as long as no one on both sides shows signs of turning into a dragon, it will not be rejected.

For the young Bai Jiao, Zhu Hongying, the Liang King with a prominent background, has a common hatred, but this mansion is a well-deserved treasure of feng shui.

Chen Qingniu lowered his voice and said bluntly to Bai Jiao: "Have you thought clearly?"

Bai Jiao nodded lightly, and said with a wince: "Think clearly, Jiaolong will take revenge, it's not too late for a hundred years." It's a big deal that after Zhu Hongying died of old age, I secretly went to dig his grave. ”

Chen Qingniu: "The secret of your white Jiaohua people, I estimate that the Liangwang Mansion has long known it, probably because of your shallow Taoism, so that they can be safe, after all, a lake and a place can entrench a dragon, which means more wind and rain, Zhu Hongying, as the lord of the domain, needs to feed tens of thousands of border troops in Xiliang, even if he has a personal grudge against you, he can only pinch his nose and not do the work of cutting grass and roots." Even ......"

Chen Qingniu didn't continue.

Zhu Zhenzhi secretly coveted Princess Cui's beauty, so he fell in love with this little Jiao, up and down inside and outside this Liangzhou City, which place was not under the control of his father Zhu Hongying? How could the spy not know such superficial information, maybe Zhu Hongying had been watching coldly, using Zhu Zhenfeng, who was destined to not be able to help up, as a bait to determine whether the young Bai Jiao should be killed.

If Zhu Zhenliang or Zhu Zhenhu, the two leaders of the sect and domain, were deeply involved, Zhu Hongying would definitely throw this little Jiao into the oil pot and kill him.

In the final analysis, a commercial lake and a white Jiao have a lot of impact on the entire northwest customs, but it is still not enough to be fatal.

Chen Qingniu asked curiously, "Why did you leave the Dragon Palace and come to the world?"

Bai Jiao shrunk his neck, "How fun the world is." ”

Chen Qingniu sighed: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and young white calves are not afraid of people. ”

Bai Jiao muttered: "What is so terrible about people, except for the two of you, as long as I exhale, I can blow them into disappearance and ashes." ”

Chen Qingniu laughed angrily: "Then do you believe that the monks in this mansion who have at least the number of hands can make you peel off your muscles and bones with a breath?"

Bai Jiao was dumbfounded, blinking, faintly visible were a pair of erect golden eyes, very different from people, she said with a sincere face at this time: "Otherwise, I'll go back to the building boat first, and come back in two days, right?"

Chen Qingniu turned his head to look at Xie Shiji, who said slowly: "The slave maid only said that there are countless glazed tiles, glazed cups and glazed screens in the palace, and she came. ”

Chen Qingniu reached out and twisted the young Bai Jiao's ears, "Your ears can only hear the word glass?!"

She had to stand on her heels, tilt her head, and cry bitterly.

Chen Qingniu suddenly let go of her ears and said, "Maybe you really have a relationship with Buddhism." ”

Chen Qingniu looked around, "Here, it will be your blessed land, maybe it's not enough." ”

She blessed her soul and said, "You tricked me into coming here, but you can't harm me!"

Chen Qingniu smiled, "Okay." ”

————

In the courtyard of Yuanjiapu, Chen Qingniu came back with a drag oil bottle, the female ghost in a wedding dress, I don't know when she put a purple bamboo reclining chair in the corridor, shaking it gently, she didn't look at Chen Qingniu and the young Baijiao, and sighed to herself: "The person who was born cultivates the law of the world and takes the way of death." ”

Chen Qingniu didn't care, picked a stone bench and sat down, and said with a smile: "This sister, on other people's territory, don't say anything auspicious, and still talk about these bad words, aren't you afraid that the master will beat you out with a stick?"

The female ghost was silent for a moment, and then changed the topic and said: "I once read an article in the Zhongshan Study Building of the Ma family in the city, which was written by a Confucian sage who ridiculed the style of the world and loved stones, and I have almost forgotten the content, but it is a digression, and my memory is still fresh. ”

Chen Qingniu smiled: "Let's talk about it." ”

She said slowly: "The chaos of the world is known from the rise and fall of a country's Beijing Division, and the prosperity and decline of the Beijing Division is obtained from the rise and fall of the garden." ”

Chen Qingniu nodded and said, "Knowing autumn when a leaf falls, this is a qualification that a cultivator must have. ”

The female ghost covered with a red scarf turned her head, as if she had a deep meaning, and said: "Then do you know that the swaying wind that destroys the mountains and cities starts at the end of Qingping." ”

She sighed again: "The white dragon fish suit is already unwise, let alone the white fish dragon suit." ”

Chen Qingniu put his hands around his chest and smiled as usual.

The young man sitting on the steps next to the female ghost was busy in a daze, ignoring Chen Qingniu and Sister Zhu Hong's fights.

At this moment, except for the teenagers, Chen Qingniu, Xie Shiji, the female ghost and Bai Jiao, the circulation of qi in the body was stagnant, although it was fleeting, but it was extremely clear.

Chen Qingniu looked up in the direction of the Medicine Extraction Temple, the tallest building in the city, which was also the place where the bells and drums were heard.

A slightly larger town, often have bells and drums for the people to tell the time, once every hour, generally the sub-hour in the next five hours punctually, all hit the morning bell, noon in the last five hours to beat the dusk drum, but the bell and drum sound is not strictly regulated, there are also city bells and drums in unison, generally are the sound of the day is loud and the sound of the night is light, in order to prevent disturbing the people.

There is a big bronze bell hanging in the bell tower of Liangzhou City Medicine Picking Temple, it rings for more than 500 years, it is still a melodious bell so far, but the giant bell of the Medicine Picking Temple is not originally used to tell the time, it is only the use of Buddhism's excess, only once in the morning and dusk, each time it rings one hundred and eight times, for the man and woman who believe in the Buddha in the city, remove one hundred and eight kinds of troubles.

Over the past few hundred years, the owners of Liangzhou City have changed and changed, and the surnames of the mansions of the wealthy have changed and changed, but the bell of the medicine collection temple has not changed.

Even the young children in Liangzhou City, everyone will sing the song that seems to be incomplete, "The bell is heard, the troubles are light, the wisdom is long, Bodhi is born, from hell, out of the fire kang, willing to become a Buddha, save all sentient beings ......"

Chen Qingniu returned to Liangzhou City this time, and when he heard the bell of the medicine collection temple for the first time, he actually noticed the mystery.

The bell of the medicine collection temple falls into the ears of the monks, which is particularly special, the bell is like a torrent, with the bell tower of the medicine collection temple as the center, spreading to the surroundings.

In this way, the sea of qi of all the people in the city will collide with it, and the ordinary people will naturally be almost silent and negligible, but as long as they are cultivators, if they are not suppressed and concealed, they will immediately leak their traces and fall in the eyes of the qi-seekers standing on a high place, just like stirring up waves, and even occasionally there are stormy waves erected in the city, like the mainstay of the river.

It is in this way that the temple explores the exact location of the cultivators in the city, as well as the general depth of the path.

After all, the medicine temple is the authentic Buddhism, the bell is upright, mighty, and has the effect of making people feel peaceful, and has the intention of opening the door to welcome guests, so for so many years, the cultivators come and go, and the cultivation is different, but no one has raised any objections to this, and I have not heard that anyone has gone to find trouble in the medicine picking temple.

Chen Qingniu didn't love or hate Taoism and Buddhism, and when he was young, he secretly went to the medicine collection temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, but unfortunately he kowtowed and banged, and he couldn't let the Bodhisattva manifest.

At that time, the woman in the Qinglou, who was terminally ill, was already as thin as wood, and vaguely listened to the child's guilty words with crying, and the child said that it must be all the copper coins on her body, which was only enough to invite three incense sticks, so the Bodhisattva disliked him for not being sincere enough, so he couldn't get better from his mother's illness.

That day many years ago.

The woman smiled hard and clapped the child's hand vigorously, saying that the Bodhisattva had heard it, and the mother was much better.

Today, many years later.

In the warm spring breeze, Chen Qingniu clasped his hands around his chest, leaned on the edge of the stone table, and looked at the sky in a daze.
