Chapter 1020 The Sun and Moon Are Like Duckweeds on the Water

(Sorry, I uploaded the chapter two hours late. It is a 28,000-word chapter.)

It rained heavily at noon, the sky was dark, the road was muddy, and mud splashed everywhere.

There is a rope bridge across the river. The water is surging under the bridge. The iron-locked wooden boards of the ancient bridge are swaying violently with the wind and rain, almost turning over.

There was a group of people walking by the river holding umbrellas. There was a swordsman in green clothes, and beside him was a woman in yellow clothes.

Behind them followed a pair of young men and women. The man had a beautiful tree facing the wind, and the woman had her hair tied into a bun.

There are also two men who look like followers, one old and one young, wearing yellow hats, green shoes and green bamboo canes, walking at the back.

The raindrops were as big as soybeans, hitting the oil paper umbrella with a crackling sound.

There is a light in the distance as small as a firefly.

Chen Pingan glanced at the rope bridge floating in the wind and asked: "Is this the Chilin River where the Immortal Picture first appeared?"

Ye Yunyun nodded and said solemnly: "This is the place."

At dawn today, Ye Yunyun suddenly found Chen Pingan and said straight to the point that she wanted to ask him for a favor. Since she and Du Hanling of Jinding Temple were definitely not going to be able to catch the thief and the stolen goods, they just wanted to see if they could follow the clues so that she and Du Hanling could catch the thief and the stolen goods. Du Hanling had a valid reason for going to the mountain to ask for boxing.

This king of Tongyezhou Mountain actually dares to be his "taoist companion for a moment" with him? Ye Yunyun had to weigh it up. How many kilograms does a Jinding Temple monk with a hidden head and tail weigh in kilograms? As for whether Du Hanling is the Nascent Soul now, or has sneaked into Yupu, she only needs to ask a question, and the truth will come to light. Then she can know what the immortal bones and bones of Du Guanzhu, who are dressed in golden branches and jade leaves, will be after they are dismantled. There are several layers.

Ye Yunyun has not lost her mind. Now she will definitely not delve into the so-called "Fu Luan Ascension Method" on the wall picture. It has been sealed in the Pushan secret warehouse.

Anyway, if you owe one favor, you owe it to two, so Ye Yunyun wants to drag Chen Pingan to come to Chilinjiang to explore the truth and see if he can help her find some missing clues.

The other party agreed to go down the mountain together.

As expected of Junior Brother Xiuhu, he is really thoughtful. He is also the mountain master. The difference between the two sides is not just a star. People are more infuriating than others. These scholars are better at using their brains to calculate people. Last night in the pavilion, the young mountain master just After a few glances at the Immortal Pictures, he was able to see through the layers of confusion and help her shed some light on the secrets.

Ye Yunyun began to explain in detail to Chen Ping'an how to get the Immortal Picture, "The Immortal Picture came to me all the way, but the place where I really got it was a small ferry on the mountain called Lvshang Ferry. It was located in Yuan Kingdom, at the foot of our feet. This Immortal Garden Kingdom is adjacent. A few years ago, I heard that on the border of the Yuan Kingdom not long after the restoration of the country, there was a big monster hiding in the mountains, and clues were accidentally exposed. Xue Huai rushed over first, and followed the instructions on the Dafu Academy side. The intelligence showed that the other party was inferred to be a ghost cultivator of the Nascent Soul Realm. I was worried that the other party had hidden his realm. The gentleman from the academy was going to die. Xue Huai couldn't save anyone, so he went down the mountain alone again. It was a pity that he stayed there. After more than ten days, I searched the mountain to no avail."

"During this period, I happened to pass by the Green Shang Ferry that Pushan had rented out in the early years. At that time, there was a wild cultivator from Shanze in the Lower Five Realms. The old man and a young man set up a stall on the roadside. I took a casual look and saw that they were all... There were many worthless things, including a beautifully crafted gold cabinet, which was of acceptable quality, but could barely be used to hold things, so I planned to give it to Ye Xuanji. When the old monk saw that my eyes were lingering, he began to boast about himself, saying this Is it an old object from the Yuan Kingdom Palace, or is it a desk clearance in the emperor's study room? At a glance, the door opens wide, and it is so close to all the emperors of the Yuan Kingdom. For hundreds of years, it must have been infected with the aura of the dragon. , the old monk raised his hands and offered ten copper coins, probably because he was afraid that I would find it too expensive, so he said eight would be enough, and the price really couldn't be lower."

Hearing this, Cao Qinglang was a little confused. A gold cabinet made in the palace was only sold for ten cents? So she turned to look at Pei Qian who was aside. She was very familiar with the ways of the world and the lingo of the mountains.

Pei Qian explained with a smile: "Baofengzhai has its own slang. It is said to be ten coins, but it is actually ten snow coins. If someone doesn't understand this, that Baofengzhai can just kill pigs as much as they like... ”

Chen Ping'an asked: "Did the golden cabinet in the Yuan Kingdom's palace contain that immortal picture?"

Ye Yunyun said angrily: "That's the problem. In fact, the golden cabinet was empty at that time, so I mistakenly thought I picked up a huge leak. When I bought the golden cabinet with eight pieces of snow, it would be scattered." Xiucai seemed to remember something and asked me if I knew anything about calligraphy and painting. He also had a treasure with better quality on hand. It was definitely a treasure inherited and ordered by the Yuan Kingdom. The old monk raised his hand and swore that if there was any fraud, he would keep it. The sky was thundering, but I didn't take it seriously. I just said I could take a look. As a result, the dull young man next to the old monk rummaged through a sack at his feet, pulled out the scroll of the Immortal Picture, and threw it away casually. On the stall.”

Chen Ping'an laughed when he heard this and said: "Young and old can sing double recitals together, so you are a qualified Bao Fu Zhai."

Ye Yunyun just pretended not to hear the ridicule and continued: "As soon as I got the scroll, I already knew that it was something good, because the Taoist heart created a ripple, which is exactly what the Taoist monks seize the opportunity of the Taoism. After I unfolded the scroll a little, I managed to calm down. At that time, I mistakenly thought that it was a mysterious and mysterious gift of "lucky fate" from the mountain not long after I entered the Yupu realm, so I spent ten more without hesitation. Xue spent money and bought the painting of immortals. After both parties agreed to part with it, I left the stall a few steps and found that the old monk had packed up and ran away with the young man. I thought it was funny at the time, but only now I know that I am the fool."

"After I got the Immortal Map, I thought I was careful enough, because I secretly visited the Imperial Palace of Yuan Kingdom. The old one had been reduced to ruins and was newly built after the war, so there were indeed many secret files scattered around. I also found a large number of similar ancient camphor wood gold cabinets in the Huangshichen warehouse over there. Naturally, they were not the emperor's study room as Baofengzhai said. After that, I continued to check the books, and sure enough I found them. The entry about that ancient painting is indeed true. The written record above is clear. It turned out that it came from a quarry office on the bank of the Chilin River in the Ruan Kingdom three hundred years ago. The quarry craftsmen accidentally salvaged a piece of stone from the bottom of the river. Although the iron box is not a beautiful stone, the official office did not dare to hide it. The iron box and the beautiful stones mined from the river were all sent to the capital as tribute. And the emperor of the Yuan Kingdom of that generation I had an average impression of the scroll, and after seeing it, I quickly gave it to Huang Shichen's collection, and the iron box containing the painting, which according to archival records showed that "all six sides were painted with water," had long since disappeared. In the end, I still felt uneasy. I personally came to the Chilin River to explore the bottom of the river for six hundred miles, including several tributaries, just to see if there were any ruins of the Immortal Mansion, but I couldn't find any abnormalities at first."

Just because the words of the old monk from Baofengzhai were proven to be false, Ye Yunyun took them more seriously.

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "It is very common for Emperor Shicheng to encounter thieves, and they are all elegant thieves who are difficult to guard against."

Looking at the turbulent and turbid Chilin River, Chen Pingan remembered the Longxu River in his hometown for no reason. Not long after he left his hometown, countless people took notice of the news. Almost every household carried a basket on their back and went into the water to hunt for treasures. The kind of snake gallstone that everyone would only regard as a plaything for children at home, but the people in the small town came late and rarely gained anything.

Maybe the early bird catches the worm?

So last night at the Pushan pavilion, Chen Ping'an and Huang Yiyun said, "The news on the mountain is fairy money." They were full of sincerity.

On the road when Yufeng came, the knowledgeable Xue Huai had already mentioned the Chilin River to Chen Ping'an and the others. Since ancient times, there has never been any water god He Bo, but the river is rich in beautiful stones, which sound like clear chimes and are as bright as jade. , with different colors, mostly blue, and red is the best. The stone pattern is like the scales of a red carp, which is very famous. The large one can be used as a feng shui stone for wealthy families, while the small one can also be used as a study room by literati. Therefore, in the history of Yuan State, quarrying offices were established on the riverside intermittently to mine river stones to fill the national treasury.

Whenever the imperial government abolished the water seal period, there would be athletes who were proficient in water properties and secretly went to the bottom of the river to quarry stones. The financial resources of Lvshangdu came largely from this. It was just a combination of fraud and splicing by merchants in pursuit of profit. There are endless tricks, and they will deliberately "chisel" the mountain into a thin and leaky shape. This means that the price of the holes in the stone belt will double, and thousands of taels of gold will be made out of thin air. It’s the same reason as diseased plums and official plums that are deliberately cut into strange shapes are much more expensive than ordinary wild plums. Over time, the local people in Yuan Kingdom and some surrounding immortal masters tacitly understood that they were deceiving those stupid and wealthy foreigners anyway.

The children of Pushan Yuncaotang are talented and elegant, and almost all have one or two desk confessions carved from beautiful stones. Of course, they cannot be fakes.

The nobles in the central area of ​​Tongyezhou are usually divided into six levels, including Gaoliang, Huafu and Jia, Yi, Bing and Ding, and Tongyezhou is the most secluded among the nine continents. One, there are really too many fertile lands with luxuriant products, a continent with multiple plains, a land of fish and rice, and countless awe-inspiring landscapes and scenic spots. Otherwise, even though there were not many sects in Tongye Continent back then, there were no exceptions. , are all great immortal families with profound foundations, but in the end they don’t even have a cross-continental ferry.

As for the fairy family on the mountain, the emperors, princes, and princesses at the foot of the mountain, they can be said to be the richest people in the world, and the most powerful.

Pushan, which owns a land title on Yixiangshan, is an excellent example. It's just that those "enclaves" in Pushan were of good origin. They were purchased by the ancestors of past dynasties at extremely low prices with real money from gods or incense.

Chen Ping'an suddenly asked: "Since it is said to be hundreds of years old, it is common for rivers to change their course in history, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. When Lord Ye Shan came to Chilin River to visit the immortals, did he ask? Meet the local people, or carefully search the historical maps of the Yuan Kingdom, and read the local county annals?"

Ye Yunyun remained silent, her face full of embarrassment.

I was in a hurry and didn't expect to get so much.

In order to alleviate Huang Yiyun's embarrassing situation, Chen Ping'an had to take the initiative to change the topic, "In the secret files of the Imperial History, about the iron box, besides the water map drawn on six sides, are there any more written records?"

Ye Yunyun immediately nodded and said: "Yes. In addition to the water picture, the six sides are divided into two ancient seal characters: ups and downs, twists and turns, turbidity, mist, deep and clear."

Chen Ping'an could only say something unconscionable, "Master Ye Shan is still very careful."

Ye Yunyun's smile was forced. The kind words of the man next to her sounded like curses.

But Chen Ping'an still couldn't help but ask, "Is there any copy of the Six Sided Water Map in the newly built Huangshichen Archives in Yuan Kingdom?"

It stands to reason that there will definitely be relevant rubbings at Huang Shicheng's side, and there will definitely be only a few steps away from the warehouse.

So Master Ye Shan continued to remain silent.

How come I was a young boy in a school and met a teacher who was checking my homework.

Chen Pingan was a little helpless.

Forget it, it's all a confusing account to be settled after the fall. Anyway, the matter is at this point, and it's useless to say more.

On the sidelines, Pei Qian asked himself, at most, if he could think of looking for rubbings more than Huang Yiyun, it was because he wanted to carry the treasure together. For example, Pei Qian would never have thought of the diversion of river tributaries.

Xue Huai was filled with emotion in his heart. It really echoed the old saying that when comparing goods, you have to throw away people rather than kill them. Yuncaotang still lacks a real pillar. Otherwise, it will only rely on the master to support the facade, and the master will have to make decisions in every aspect. , it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes. If there is such a careful young swordsman sitting on the top of the mountain in Pushan, I guess I can really sit back and relax.

Master Xue secretly glanced at his master without showing any trace, and then at the green-robed swordsman with his sword hanging on his head, eh? Master, do you have a chance to shout to someone...Master?

I just don’t know if Chen Jianxian has any Taoist companions on the mountain now. However, with Chen Ping'an's level, status, appearance and demeanor, there will definitely be no shortage of confidantes both at home and down the mountain. Otherwise, he would not have become close friends with Jiang Shangzhen.

Chen Ping'an didn't know what Master Xue was thinking, so he just turned around and smiled and chatted, "Before I came to Pushan, I read a strange novel. In addition to the love and hatred between Donghai Fu and Qinghong Jun, the book also wrote about a How much of the book’s story about the real person’s travels in Longhu Mountain is true and how false?”

Xue Huai shook his head and said: "It is hard to tell whether it is true or not, and there is no evidence to check. In the past, I could only rely on some random gossip to try to find those fairy ruins. Unfortunately, I followed the pictures and found nothing."

It is said that thousands of years ago, when a Heavenly Master from Longhu Mountain went down the mountain to visit Tongye Island, he encountered a cave on the side of Dadu Ancient Dragon Palace. There were more than ten evil land dragons causing trouble, causing trouble and causing endless floods. This man was not enlightened at the time. The Huang Zi nobleman of the Tianshi Mansion fought with the dragons who were causing trouble, divided and conquered them, and killed most of them. He also nailed a dragon to the cliff with a peach wood sword, cut off the dragon's tail, and refined it into a green bamboo sword. Lianshan Mountain was used as a rope to bind the dragon, and a Heavenly Master issued an order to it, ordering it not to leave the mountain for a thousand years. The other dragon fled in all directions and was desperate. Finally, it was driven into a local Taoist temple by the heavenly master. It had to be turned into a door knocker and promised the heavenly master to protect the Taoist temple for three hundred years.

Finally, the Heavenly Master dug an ancient well with his own hands, cast an iron tree next to it, and suppressed the evil dragon in it.

The Heavenly Master then went to the Dadu Dragon Palace to question the old dragon who had failed to discipline him well and had neglected his duty.

The old dragon was so aggrieved that he had to intercede with the dragon king who was in charge of the entire East China Sea waters. It is said that this landscape lawsuit was finally brought to the Chinese Confucian Temple.

Haoran Yamashita's novels have many themes, and they are full of bizarre and weird writings, including legendary koans, smoky pink fox monsters, mysterious marriages, and the true meeting of immortals...

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If Mr. Xue has a chance in the future, he can try his luck with the Daquan Dynasty and start with Huang Shichen or the Ministry of Rites to see if he can borrow the archives."

Xue Huai nodded and said: "Just listen to Shanzhu Chen. If there are any clues and I accidentally find out where the main ruins of the Dadu Dragon Palace are, I will definitely inform Shanzhu Chen as soon as possible and we will go into the Dragon Palace to hunt for treasures together." All profits afterwards will be divided between Luolu Mountain and Pushan."

Ye Yunyun said angrily: "Xue Huai, what are you dreaming about? Today is different from the past. There is now a King of the Four Seas in the vast world. Even if such sites are lucky enough to see the light of day again, they will naturally belong to the true dragon of Aquarius Island. , if you dare to covet the treasure of Molong Palace, aren't you afraid that she will come ashore from the East China Sea, raise an army to punish you, and then flood Mount Pu if you disagree?"

Speaking of this, Ye Yunyun asked curiously: "Master Chen, I heard that the place where the true dragon practices Taoism is the Lizhu Cave where your Luolu Mountain is located. So, wouldn't she be very close to you? neighbor?”

Chen Ping'an treated people with sincerity, nodded and said: "We are neighbors."

Ye Yunyun asked further: "I also heard that the newly promoted Lord of the East Sea Sea has already reached the Ascension Stage. Is Master Chen familiar with her?"

After leaving the pavilion last night, apart from feeling sulky, Ye Yunyun was actually not idle at all. She hurriedly reported the landscape mansion to make up for it, and even made a special trip down the mountain to visit the Water Temple in Kouxuanqu and the Qingshui River Mansion at the mouth of the sea. , and asked for a large pile of newspapers related to Aquarius Continent, especially Luoluo Mountain. I didn't know it, but I was shocked to find out that the little cave sky that was broken and fell to the ground and was demoted to the rank of Blessed Land actually had so many "young geniuses" emerge at once, except for the one who became the only true dragon in the world. Among the women in the Ascension Realm, there are Chen Ping'an from Luopo Mountain, Liu Xianyang from the Longquan Sword Sect, Ma Kuxuan, one of the top ten young candidates in the world, and Zheng Juzhong from Baidi City with the Taoist name "Zhanran" and nicknamed "The Madman" Direct disciple...

Chen Ping'an could only say: "Next door neighbor."

Ye Yunyun didn't understand. After all, aren't the monks on the mountain considered "next door" even if they are thousands of miles away?

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Literally."

Seeing that the other party seemed reluctant to talk more about the real dragon, Ye Yunyun remembered another interesting incident and asked casually: "How many times has Lord Chen attended the night banquets at Piyun Mountain in Beiyue?"

Chen Ping'an was extremely embarrassed, "Not even once."

Ye Yunyun was a little confused, why did she feel that she had recovered all the places by mistake?

In the heavy rain, a group of people walked following the faint light. It turned out that there was a teahouse on the shore. Business was deserted. There were no customers taking shelter from the rain. There was only an old woman sitting around with a girl who was probably her granddaughter. Chatting by the brazier, watching the heavy rain outside the shed together, the fire was warm, and they were boiling a pot of rice wine to ward off the cold. The girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although her clothes were shabby, she had a snow-skinned face and a graceful manner. Charming.

Chen Ping'an stood at the door of the tea shed, turned around first, turned his back to the tea shed, and shook off the rainwater.

The group of people put away their oil-paper umbrellas.

But Xiaomo is missing.

Although she was surprised to see this group of guests, the old woman immediately got up to entertain the guests and asked them how many bowls of hot tea they wanted.

Ye Yunyun smiled and said that everyone would have a bowl first. After she was sure that business was coming, the girl stood up, walked a few steps, looked back and glanced sideways, not knowing what she saw, and then smiled down at her servant girl.

The old woman and her granddaughter served tea to the table together, and then sat at the brazier again. The old woman smiled and said, "This is an old fish blowing the waves. Guests, please don't make a fuss."

The business of the tea shed depends on the day. If there is a temple fair or a festival in the county town, some people going to the market may stop here to have a bowl of tea soup on their way to and from the tea shed.

At the moment, the old woman is speaking the Mandarin of a country, with a strong local accent. And unlike Aquarius Island, the Mandarin of Dali is the elegant language of a continent. When traveling, unless it is the remote counties of some small countries, the speech is extremely smooth.

The Yizhou Yayan of Tongyezhou can be regarded as the most unworthy of its name among the Nine Continents. It is often the official dialect of each country, and each country speaks its own language. After the war, only the Daquan Dynasty will spare no effort to promote Yizhou Yayan. The words were related to the awe-inspiring elegance of the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth, and were included as one of the evaluation contents of the Beijing Inquisition Plan. They were effective in practice. In fact, within a few years, officials from the capital to the localities took the lead. The government and the public were almost familiar with the two kinds of things. Yayan.

Ye Yunyun helped convey the content to Chen Pingan.

The old woman glanced at the man in green shirt sitting next to the woman in yellow, and asked with a smile: "Is this madam accompanying me to our place to enjoy the scenery?"

It looks like a perfect match.

Ye Yunyun was a little helpless, so she stopped repeating it, shook her head and said, "We are just friends with him."

The old woman smiled and said: "What a pity."

After being reminded by Chen Pingan, Ye Yunyun just copied the original words and asked the old woman with a smile: "Old grandma, do you know if there are any rivers, streams or the like that have dried up in the upper and lower reaches of the Chilin River? Is there anything weird now?"

The old woman smiled and said, "To tell you my wife, I have never heard of any river without water, but there are often ghosts on this river. They like to go into the water during the day and find someone to die for, not to mention us locals. Even those immortal masters who pass by have no choice. The officials from the county government come here almost every year to ask people to perform rituals. I have opened this tea shed for many years, and I have seen some Taoist priests and monks. As for the inside I don’t dare to ask if there is a legendary immortal master.”

Xiao Mo walked into the tea shed and sat next to Chen Pingan. Chen Pingan had just ordered an extra bowl of hot tea and handed it to Xiao Mo.

After Xiao Mo took the tea bowl, he took out a few pebbles from his sleeves and placed them gently on the table.

Chen Pingan picked up one of the red stones, and the texture was indeed like layers of red fish scales.

Pei Qian gathered his voices and asked: "Master, are these river bottom stones a bit like the snake gallstones in Longxu River?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Like, but the rank is much lower. It may be that there are really descendants of dragons who have been hiding here to practice Taoism for a long time. Invisibly, part of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was transformed into dragon energy. The stones at the bottom of the river have been imbued with that Taoism for thousands of years." Yunlong Qi is like a monk forming an elixir, or... deliberately peeling off some old scales and turning them into beautiful red stones that can be used by the mountain immortal master to refine immortal materials. It is like saying hello to someone, Shouting from a distance, 'Don't forget this place.'"

Chen Ping'an didn't gather his voice into a line or speak from his heart, "If the rumors in the book are true, the real person from Longhu Mountain really passed by this place, and there were also magical miracles that subjugated demons. I guess it was the remnant of the dragon, and he was not worthy of death for his sins back then." , so I imprison myself here as a sin. I dare not leave the country without permission and cross the thunder pond. I have to lie down and stay still. I can only wait hard for thousands of years for a real person's decree from the Tianshi Mansion."

Seemingly unintentional. It means something.

The old woman glanced at the swordsman in green shirt.

Chen Pingan just turned around and smiled at the old woman.

But the old woman looked at Ye Yunyun, pointed at the pot of rice wine, and asked: "Madam, do you want to drink some wine? It is better than tea soup to warm the stomach. It is brewed at home and can be sold in tea shops, but it is not cheap. A pot of wine costs twenty cents."

Ye Yunyun glanced at Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an was reminded by Xiao Mo's inner voice and nodded towards Ye Yunyun. Then, holding the stone in his palm, he stood up and walked directly to the brazier and squatted down. He put the stone into the charcoal fire, like simmering taro, keeping warm nearby and lowered his head. , rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "God is not good at it, the wind and rain will follow the torrents. Even if you are in the big waves, you will not be afraid or worried."

It turned out that Xiao Mo just took a closer look, and by coincidence, it turned out to be an engagement shop.

The person who made the move was not the old woman, but the girl next to the old woman. Just now, the newcomer returned to the old business, and she had shown her weakness on Xiaomo's side, otherwise she would have been in trouble again.

In ancient times, the engagement shop controlled the world's marriage certificates. They checked the documents to the moon and tied the ankles, wrists and hearts of men and women according to different marriage relationships.

There was once a Marriage Department in the old Heavenly Court, with each Mingyue Mistress taking charge of one department, and the number of betrothal shops within the territory varied.

After ten thousand years, Xiaomo returned to the world, not to mention seeing this kind of engagement shop with his own eyes before. Even if he looked through Shandi's newspaper and Shanxia's miscellaneous books, he never saw this long-standing name.

On the other hand, there are countless sayings about Yue Lao pulling the red thread and checking the marriage book. Marriage in the world is determined by the Yin Stallion and cannot be changed.

The old woman's foot on the road is nothing special at all, just an old and decrepit old Qiu. It is probably because of the opportunity and status that I got halfway that I built this engagement shop.

Back in the human world back then, when Xiao Mo met him, he didn't even bother to take a look.

Generally speaking, the other party doesn't dare to look at him, for fear of being mistaken for a question of swordsmanship?

Therefore, even those real dragons on land and water who were holding the Heavenly Rain Talisman would have given way immediately when they saw him thousands of years ago.

At that time, Xiao Mo liked to travel around the world alone, probably because he was dressed in bright clothes, so he was easy to identify.

There is no need to guess what the temperament of a swordsman who can chat with the master of Bixiao Cave and make wine together.

Raising his head, Chen Ping'an looked at the young girl who moved the bench and sat next to the old woman. He stood up, raised his feet, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't mess with the marriage line. Please put it away."

The girl looked confused, looked cute, innocent and ignorant.

Chen Ping'an put his fingers together, lightly swiped towards his feet, and cut off the invisible red thread that pulled his and Ye Yunyun's ankles on the spot.

The girl suddenly narrowed her almond-shaped eyes.

According to the master, there is no doubt that he is a mountain swordsman!

He cut off the marriage line he had set up in an instant without using a magic weapon or a natal flying sword, and it was as easy as cutting through tofu with a knife, so he must be at the Immortal Realm.

The old woman stared blankly at the "swordsman" in green clothes. She sighed and patted the girl's head, signaling that she was not afraid. Perhaps the old woman knew that today was destined to be a bad day. She lowered her head and smiled, and took out something from her sleeve. A purple lens with a subtle curvature, then twist the corner of the clothes and wipe it gently. The material is similar to glass but not glass, and the precision of the stone work cannot be polished by the skilled craftsmen in the mountains.

The old woman raised her head, regained her original voice, and said hoarsely: "I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet such a young Land Sword Immortal so far away from the ancient Shu Kingdom."

Chen Ping ignored it and just put his hands in his sleeves. He glanced at the objects in the old woman's hands and gained a lot of experience.

Jade is planted in the Dragon Palace and purple glass is cultivated.

The texture is crystal clear, almost the secret product of Liuli Pavilion in Baidi City in later generations. And in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, this thing still has a wonderful use. It is most suitable to be used to refine it into an instrument to assist in far-sightedness. It can be used by some old and dim Yamashita officials, or high-ranking officials whose eyesight has been damaged at a young age. The nobles can use this to restore their eyesight to what they were when they were young. In addition, the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor of the various countries in China also possesses a secret secret made by the Lu family of the Yin and Yang family. It is said that ordinary people with naked eyes can also see the stars from a distance as if they are now. Looking at the stars in the sky, the context is clear, as easy as a god looking at the mountains and rivers of the world.

Chen Ping'an squatted down again, warmed his hands by the fire, and asked with a smile: "That iron box with a water map on the bottom of the river, is it an old thing from the Dragon Palace somewhere, a treasured old collection of the old lady? Who was it that was fished out three hundred years ago? We will send it to the Yuan Kingdom Palace together?"

The old woman looked at the gentle-looking Sword Immortal in blue and said with a smile: "As long as the Sword Immortal can help take away a talisman, I will definitely know everything I can say today. Otherwise."

The old woman shook her head, "Otherwise, even if the young master is a mountain swordsman, he really wouldn't dare to kill me."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "A talisman handwritten by a real person from the Tianshi Mansion is indeed not only a thunder pool restriction, but also can be used as a life-saving talisman."

The old woman glanced at the Pushan Huang Yiyun, then withdrew her gaze, looking at the green-shirted man in front of her who spoke Tongyezhou's pure and elegant words, and sincerely admired: "Young Master is indeed very discerning. He can read the old almanac and check the inside story. So many family treasures.”

Three thousand years ago, in the battle of killing dragons, the descendants of dragons and thousands of aquatic tribes in the world were killed. They all stagnated in the Nascent Soul Realm and stopped there.

There are no more changes in the world.

Now that the mountains and rivers are lifted, the aquatic people of the world are amnesty. They gather at the Dragon Gate on the other side of Baidi City. They swim upstream and jump over the Dragon Gate. As long as they can successfully enter the small cave of the Yellow River, they can be granted the title of Confucian Temple in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that no real person from the Tianshi Mansion came here to help her remove the powerful forbidden talisman from Longhu Mountain.

It seemed like he had completely forgotten about it.

Ye Yunyun took a sip of tea soup and felt depressed.

The heavy rain stopped suddenly outside the tea shed.

Walked into a Taoist priest dressed in purple.

The old Taoist priest is now the protector of the Liang Kingdom.

The surname of the Great Heavenly Master in Longhu Mountain is Liang Shuang.

The old woman looked at the old master with rich purple and yellow Dao Qi. She was familiar, too familiar. Although she was not the young Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain back then, she was finally greeted by a real Celestial Master from the Celestial Master's Mansion. Her expression was dull for a moment. , suddenly had a sharp voice, and the fingers of his hands were like hooks, pressed tightly against the dry cheeks, smiling but not smiling, crying but not crying, looking like crazy, almost begging, and said in a trembling voice: "I beg the Heavenly Master to take away the talisman, and ask for the Dharma of the real person." Forgive me, I know I was wrong..."

The old man put his hands behind his back and ignored the sad-looking old woman. He just smiled and said: "In this world, it is not easy to learn how to do good deeds. If you still want to start well and end well, it will be even harder."

Liang Shuang came to the brazier, gently pressed one shoulder of Chen Pingan who was about to stand up, and then squatted together. The old man picked up the pot of boiling rice wine, drank it all in one gulp, twisted a piece of red charcoal between his fingers, and wiped the corners of his mouth. , and then threw the empty wine bottle back casually, and threw it into the Chilin River.

The old man was still thinking about himself and said: "Just like this young friend Chen Xiaoyou who I fell in love with at first sight, he is young and frivolous. He easily doesn't know the heights of the world, so he does things based on his ambitions and sacrifices his life for charity. He has done it several times at a young age. Fortunately, Immortality, in the eyes of outsiders, is naturally just a matter of good luck, but what it feels like here, knowing the joys and sorrows, is not enough for outsiders to understand."

Chen Pingan took out two pots of glutinous rice wine and put them into the charcoal fire.

The old man waited for the wine to gradually warm up and asked casually: "Little friend Chen, since you like reading miscellaneous books so much, do you have any favorite legendary novels? Don't tell me yet, let me guess, whether there is Wen Qi, if so If so, is it the article by Wen Feiqing? Huh?"

"It's a real person who knows how to be a real person."

Chen Ping'an smiled knowingly, nodded and said: "Among the three favorite legends of this younger generation, there is indeed the one "Dou Yi"."

In fact, he used a pseudonym at that time. Among the large list of alternative names, Dou Yi, whose name was rare, actually once competed with Cao Mo. Now he plans to travel to the Middle-earth Divine Continent with Liu Jinglong in the future, so he uses this pseudonym.

The old man asked again: "This article is the most wonderful, and where is it?"

Chen Ping'an replied: "Young man Dou Yi spent five years quietly planting trees. When I think about what it's like to come here, only the people in the book know the joys and sorrows. I'm afraid Wen Feiqing can't feel the same."

The old man threw the piece of charcoal fire into the basin, smiled while stroking his hands, and said loudly: "Sure enough, I fell in love with Chen Xiaoyou, there is a good reason!"

As the Yin Shen of the real person Liang Shuang, all joys, anger, sorrows and joys are unrestrained.

Except for the two parties involved in the conversation, everyone else in the tea shed was completely confused.

Cao Qinglang, Xiaomo, and Master Xue from Pushan, these scholars have certainly heard of "Wen Feiqing" who is known as the master of graceful poetry, but they really don't know what novels Wen Qi has written that have been handed down from generation to generation.

Only then did the old man raise his eyes, looked at the old woman who was already kneeling on the ground, and said: "What can I ask for? Is it useful?"

The old man smiled and said, "Besides, there's no need to beg. I won't drink your bottle of wine for free."

The old woman was surprised to find that the Heavenly Master Talisman on her body had disappeared without even realizing it.

The old master reminded: "Don't kowtow, otherwise I will shorten my life. In anger, I will put a new talisman on you. Get up quickly. It is a matter of blessing and misfortune, just like opening the door to welcome guests. It is not a matter of asking or not." Something to ask for.”

The old woman sat on the bench, looked at the green-robed Sword Immortal, and said seriously: "I'm telling the Sword Immortal, there was a young Taoist priest who traveled here and bought the iron box from me. I saw that he was Taiping. Taoist Shan, the other party also showed me the jade plaque of the Ancestral Master Hall. I verified the authenticity and then agreed. I just want to make it clear to Chen Jianxian that there was actually nothing in the iron box."

Chen Ping'an knew clearly in his heart that he was the culprit who created the civil strife in Taiping Mountain together with the sword-carrying old ape. The other party was well hidden and unnoticed. He was indeed one of the direct monks of Taiping Mountain.

The opponent is one of the great demons in the wild world who has been hiding in Tongyezhou for a long time. After twists and turns, in the final analysis, it is Wen Hai's careful plan.

It seems that Zhou Mi was indeed determined to win Pushan.

The old woman looked at the expressionless Sword Immortal Chen, feeling worried in her heart. She subconsciously hugged the girl beside her and said, "She is the only disciple I have accepted. She had the temerity to lead the red line before, and she was also my instigator behind the scenes. I beseech the Heavenly Master Even if you and Chen Jianxian are punished, don't implicate her."

Chen Pingan nodded, stood up, spoke to Lao Zhenren and Xue Huai in his heart, and walked out of the tea shed together.

When he arrived at the riverside, Chen Ping'an stopped, looked at the unknown Master Xue from Pushan, narrowed his eyes and said, "You can come out now. Since the old master is here, I think there is no need to hide, right?"

Jiang Shangzhen's prediction was absolutely correct.

There is indeed a backhand hidden inside Pushan Yuncaotang.

It was this Yuanyoujing warrior with the best reputation in Pushan who was Huang Yiyun's most valued direct disciple, "Xue Huai".

The purple-clothed Taoist stroked his beard and smiled. It was just a Jade Pu realm ghost that lived in the soul of the martial artist. It was hiding under his nose. It was like saying something.

Isn't it the fourteenth realm to bully poor people?

In a moment, without giving the Jade Pure Realm monster a chance to cause trouble, the old master had already "searched the mountain" and back, holding a soul the size of a mustard seed between his two fingers.

Xue Huai felt that his head was split and the pain was as painful as a knife, so he had to raise his hands. Chen Ping'an immediately reached out and grabbed Master Xue's arm to help stabilize the opponent's pure Qi, so that it would not turn upside down in the human world like a flood. Floods generally damage the fundamentals of the body.

After a while, Xue Huai was covered in sweat and said with a wry smile: "Master Chen, was it me who fell into the trap earlier?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's because the other party was calculating mentally but not intentionally. Moreover, he is a ghost of the upper five realms who is proficient in the art of ecstasy. Master Xue doesn't need to blame himself too much."

In fact, it was Chen Ping'an who was blind, and it wasn't all random guessing. People and things that are dark under the lamp are often closest to the light.

Anyway, Chen Pingan is very familiar with this kind of thing.

So there are only a handful of candidates who can succeed Huang Yiyun in Pushan. In addition to Xue Huai, who is not high in seniority but is very prestigious, there are actually Tan Rong, the headmaster of Pushan, and the money manager of the Ancestral Hall, Ye Yunyun's brother. So at the gate of the mountain, Chen Ping'an deliberately talked about Jinshi, just to take the opportunity to chat with Lao Yuanying, so that Xiaomo could observe more secretly.

There have to be some people who are smarter than the bad guys, so that more good people can be rewarded, and more good people can do good things, regardless of the consequences.

Xue Huai hesitated to speak, but finally nodded and clasped his fists silently.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to return the favor with cupped fists.

The old master smiled and said: "Master Xue, you just go back to the tea shed first, and I will have a few words with Chen Xiaoyou."

Xue Huai still didn't say anything, but he bowed to this purple-clothed Taoist who was definitely not just a real protector of the Liang Kingdom, stood up, turned around and strode away.

After Xue Huai returned to the tea shed, Lao Zhenren and Chen Ping'an took a slow walk by the river after the rain.

"In today's world, there are different paths, including humans and ghosts."

"Oh, slaying demons and eliminating demons, real demons, slaying and subduing, real-life heavenly kings, are all at your fingertips. They just rely on the Taoism of a certain realm, like the common people in the world who are strong and strong. The so-called difference between yin and yang, the clear and distinct paths, are nothing more than the way to achieve the Tao. Sir, once you open your heavenly eyes, you will know at a glance. It is a pity that there are ghosts in the human heart that cannot be cut off, and there are flies and dogs that can't be eliminated."

The old man sighed and held his beard in silence.

"It's hard, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky, it's easy, it's as easy as turning the palm of your hand."

Chen Ping'an smiled and answered: "Even if we are destined to run out of manpower, we must do our best first and then listen to fate. It is nothing more than being able to accomplish the task in front of us, and being able to contribute every effort at hand is important."

The old man stroked his beard and nodded, "Yes, of course."

The old master was about to return to Liang Guo Taoist Temple. Before leaving, he smiled and said: "Let's encourage each other."

It means that the old master himself will stay here for many years to mend the old mountains and rivers of Tongyezhou, and there will be no shortage of opportunities for the two parties to interact with each other in the future.

Chen Ping'an said in a deep voice: "Let's encourage each other."

The old man finally smiled and said: "In order to test the depth of your Taoist heart outside the mountain temple, I had to tell you a lot of nonsense. Just forget it, I don't have any grudges."

The young man said categorically: "Real people, just don't worry, juniors don't hold grudges the most!"

After returning to the tea shed, Chen Pingan discovered that two pots of hometown glutinous rice wine were warm and ready, but the old man left without drinking, so he picked them up and drank them among everyone, including the old woman and the girl.

The smiling old woman, it would be no exaggeration to say that she was overjoyed. She had been sitting next to the brazier wiping tears from the corners of her eyes. When she saw Chen Pingan, she drank the bowl of glutinous rice wine and even called her benefactor.

The girl on the side stared wide-eyed, holding the wine bowl but not drinking. She just looked at the sword fairy in blue, very curious.

It seems that the scenery in her eyes is better than the wine.

Ye Yunyun was also much more relaxed, although she still couldn't get conclusive evidence from Chilinjiang, so that she could have a fight with Du Hanling.

However, the disciple Xue Huai did not have the strange disaster that was very likely to cause civil strife in Pushan. Ye Yunyun, who had always had a cold expression, was still smiling like a flower.

When Chen Ping'an stood up to leave, the old woman quickly stood up and gave her a blessing. She said with tears of gratitude: "Chen Jianxian, this time I escaped from the trap, and I am free from now on. I have nothing to repay, so I will never thank you for your great kindness..."

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, since you said you would never say thank you for your kindness, what else can I say?

Originally, he wanted to ask the old woman whether the two parties could make a deal on the mountain at a fair price for those beautiful stones from the river that Xiaomo said were in considerable quantity.

To say the least, it would be much better than that young girl who was the manager of the engagement shop to imitate the misleading language in the books and suddenly say, "The young master is so kind and virtuous, and the young lady pledges her body to him."

When the young girl was about to turn around and leave, the green-robed swordsman suddenly blinked her eyes.

Chen Ping'an turned around with lightning speed, glared hard at the girl whose wrists were gently twisted, and warned from the bottom of his heart: "This girl, don't repay kindness with vengeance!"

The girl looked innocent, burped, covered her mouth and smiled.

————

After Chen Ping'an left the tea shed, he did not go to Pushan again. Instead, he made a temporary decision and did not return to Xiandu Mountain. He took a short detour and took a trip to the water area called "Liaohe" because his family The Feng Yuan Ferry crosses three continents and mountains and rivers. In this Tongye Island, from north to south, there are Qinghu Palace in Qingjing Mountain, Zijia Xiandu Mountain, Yeyundu in Lingbi Mountain, and Taoye Ferry in Daquan Dynasty. It is a long river with many tributaries. , and then there is Yugui Zong and Qushandu in the south.

Including Aquarius Island and Beiju Luzhou, with five ferry landings each, there are a total of 17 Xianjia ferry crossings.

The group of people hovered in the white clouds against the wind. Chen Pingan looked at the big river at his feet, which was located near the water source. There was already a prototype of the Xianjia Ferry on the ground, which of course belonged to another family.

This vast river connecting to the West Sea has long been favored by many forces. They have all chosen this geomantic treasure land that is very likely to become a treasure trove, because in the vast area nearby, let alone sects or sect candidates, they are not even called... There are no Nascent Soul realms with names, only a few who are busy worshiping as national masters or establishing sects.

Therefore, there are five or six Xianjia forces that are quite far away from their own mountains, or with those nearby Yamashita dynasties and vassals that have just restored their kingdom or are newly established. The Xianjia sects of Xianghuoqing formed an alliance with each other, and one after another began to build their own ferries on both sides of the river. They then invited monks who were proficient in water magic to come out to help, or use their natal magical powers or set up formations to gather the water transport of the long river. Other forces compete for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It is an extremely simple truth. If people at the same table eat the same bowl of rice, whoever eats more will get less, and whoever is full will be hungry.

Chen Ping'an continued on his way along the big river, heading to the middle section of the river, and soon reached his destination.

According to Cui Dongshan, the forces from all sides colluded, overtly and covertly, and fought several times. In the end, only three hilltops in the two places at the source and tail of the river, plus the middle section, were able to gain a firm foothold. The other forces followed one after another. Either actively or passively gave up.

As a result, a half-finished riverside ferry has been demolished and taken away. Everything that can be dismantled and taken away has been moved, but a rudimentary shell of the ferry is still left. However, the foundation of the ferry over there has been laid. Don't underestimate these geotechnical matters. Just tamping the earth would consume a lot of manpower and material resources. The moment the ferry landed and docked, the mountain roots would shake. If the ferry was not strong enough, a large hole with wide implications would appear on the spot. Therefore, the old owner of the ferry here had lost a lot of magic money. He was really not sure that he could make any money, so he stopped in time and withdrew.

The construction of a mountain ferry is like using gold and silver to fill a huge lake. The risks are huge and it can be regarded as a big gamble.

In addition to extensive construction work, building landscape formations, and building docks, gathering the spiritual energy of the landscape will also be a huge expense. Otherwise, which ferry company is out of their minds and is willing to spend money to dock here to replenish spiritual energy, and once the ferry is completed However, in the end, there were not many ferries to visit, and it was even more difficult to make ends meet. Not only was the money was wasted, but the teacher was also hanged on a tree. A worthless magic weapon can be resold at a low price, but who would be foolish enough to take over such a motionless mountain ferry?

Furthermore, the emergence of any new ferry would be a competition for people and money for the neighboring Xianjia ferry, and it would be tantamount to a battle for the avenues.

Because the number of ferries increases and decreases roughly, building a new ferry will take a piece of the same bowl.

Chen Pingan looked at the river at his feet,

This is the third Xianjia Ferry on the top of our own mountain after Niujiao Ferry and Yeyun Ferry.

In the eyes of outsiders, the brand-new and unusual ferry "ruins" here have been picked up for free by an unknown immortal master from a shameless sect.

A young man in white clothes set up a stall there not long ago to welcome heroes from all walks of life. He placed three bowls of wine on a table and threatened to use three punches and three attack techniques. As a swordsman, he could only hand them over. Two swords were thrown, how could one withstand three swords?

Anyway, if I don’t have money, I will die.

Beat me to death with three strikes and two swords, and give me dozens of blows. If I still can't get up, this ferry will be yours.

Therefore, at the ferry that was only a thousand miles away, a martial arts master with a golden body was hired with a lot of money to come and punch here.

The handsome young man with the mole between his eyebrows shocked all the monks watching.

It’s not that a young man pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, how can he reach the sky with his magic skills, but after being asked about punching, he only received one punch, and he flew ten feet away, rolled all over the ground, and then fell to the ground for a long time, still shaking. Weiwei raised an arm, which probably means slow down. Let me slow down first. I will be able to stand up soon. I will definitely be able to...

After the Golden Body Realm martial artist handed over the fist, he stood there stunned for a long time and did not take action immediately. Of course, the question about the fist was true. After all, he took a deposit of immortal money from the nearby Fukou Immortal Master, but he didn't want to really cause trouble. ah. Nowadays, Dafu Academy has strict rules. As long as there is a dispute at the foot of the mountain or the death of a genealogy master, it must be reported to the academy immediately. He has been bothered by studying since he was a child, so naturally he does not want to go to Dafu Academy to make up for his studies. debt.

When the young man stood up unsteadily, patted his chest, and said "come again", a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost lay on the ground and continued to rest.

Therefore, the martial artist's second punch had to be slightly restrained, but it still made the young man in white spin in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The martial artist was puzzled on the spot. His punch, not to mention how light it was, was definitely not powerful enough.

For the third punch, Wu Fu almost forced himself to increase the force. After all, if the boy could still stand up after three punches, his trip would have been in vain and he would lose half of the immortal money.

After the punch, the poor boy put his hands on the ground several times and tried to get up. He vomited blood several times, fell down heavily and was dying. Finally, with his face to the ground, he tremblingly raised a hand and gave a thumbs up, probably Do you want to say...a good punch?

This made the golden body martial artist feel a little guilty.

Finally, when the boy was about to count to nine, he sat up and staggered to his feet again.

Wufu quickly helped the young man up and supported him, or rather dragged the young man, to the wine stall. Wufu drank three bowls of wine by himself and said goodbye with his hands clasped in fists, saying that he was offended. As for the remaining half of the immortal money that can only be pocketed if you win a fist, this golden body martial artist doesn't think much about it at all. He does whatever he wants, anyway, I can't deal with that ruthless hand.

That day, the force that was building a ferry at the source of the Liao River immediately invited an old monk who was at the bottleneck of the Golden Core Realm. The two natal items, combined with the offensive techniques, were extremely lethal.

After three consecutive spells almost instantly, the boy in white was lying in the pit, ragged, foaming at the mouth, and twitching.

As a result, before the ten count was finished, he got up with difficulty and walked towards the wine table like a drunkard. Lao Jindan failed to succeed and just snorted coldly and left without drinking.

In less than an hour, at the ferry at the mouth of the river, a Jindan realm sword cultivator was sent out on horseback and arrived with a sword.

The fight turned out to be even more inexplicable, with Rou Baozi beating the dog. Somehow, the Jindan sword cultivator seemed to have just had a heart-to-heart chat with the young man, but he actually started to turn his back on him. The sword cultivator stopped. After depositing a large sum of money, he didn't refuse the payment, but he used his flying sword towards the big river, slashed the air with three swords, and called it a day.

That's all. That stupid Jindan sword cultivator actually replaced the young man in white to guard the stall. He even threatened the outside world that the rules had been changed. Asking about fists and swords, and studying Taoism were all the same as before, but he would return the favor three times. sword.

In this case, who dares to get into trouble?

This golden elixir sword cultivator was a hundred years older, just thirty years old, and his name was Tao Ran.

He is a local sword cultivator in Tongyezhou, but he has always been a Yamazawa Yexiu cultivator.

Now I am fishing by the river, occasionally catching an old turtle and making a pot of stew. I brought seven or eight kinds of seasonings with me when I came here before, so I will never treat myself badly.

Chen Ping'an landed by the river early and took a walk towards the simple stall.

The sword cultivator in the distance was dragging a fishing net toward the stall on the shore. There were several fish jumping alive in the net.

I just don’t know how skilled this swordsman is.

The reason why Chen Ping'an came here is actually a secret, that is, someone will establish a country here near the ferry, rather than restore the country, but to be precise, it can be regarded as a kind of restoration.

The Qingping Sword Sect of Xiandu Mountain, the future genealogy monk of the ancestral master hall, and the Nascent Soul realm sword cultivator Shao Poxian will help the maid Menglong beside him, give her a surname of Dugu, and change her name to Dugu Menglong, while he himself will continue Hiding behind the scenes, let the Dugu surname of the old Zhuying dynasty of Aquarius Island, who was destined to have no hope of restoration, re-establish the country in Tongyezhou and rebuild the Ancestral Temple. This can be regarded as a continuation of the country and an appropriate separation from the motherland of Aquarius Island. relationship.

Of course, Shao Poxian received Cui Dongshan's instruction and support for all this.

With the character of Zhongyue Mountain Lord Jin Qing, he will definitely bow to the south again from the top of his mountain... and salute from afar.

The Golden Elixir Sword Immortal arrived next to the stall, threw the fishing net on the ground, pointed at the three bowls of wine on the table, and reminded the group of people walking by the shore in Yizhou Yayan, which was awkward to speak. : "I am now a guest of Xiandu Mountain whose name remains anonymous."

Sword cultivator Tao Ran signed up his number first, then stretched out his finger, pointed at the three wine bowls on the table, and said: "Notice, now the rules have changed, each has three moves."

As for where Xiandu Mountain is, the Jindan Sword Cultivator, who is an unnamed guest, actually doesn't know at the moment. He only knows that in the north, the man who is temporarily in charge is the young man in white, surnamed Cui.

The reason for "turning sides in the face of battle" is

First of all, I was injured in that battle in the early years, the sword heart was almost broken, and the Tao heart was even more pulpy. In fact, it was just a paper golden elixir that was of no use.

If I don’t want to work as an errand inside the palace, I will never go there in my life. I can't stand those people who do one thing before and another after the other.

Otherwise, no matter how bad things get, Tao Ran is still in the Golden Core realm and is still a sword cultivator, so he will not be exposed to the public, earning such shameful godly money, and doing such errands of using other people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

But when we got here, we really couldn't beat the opponent. There was a huge disparity in strength. The guy who looked like a young man turned out to be in the Nascent Soul realm.

Then there is the other party, who promises that one day he will officially serve as the guest of Xiandu Mountain, and he can get a valuable mountain treasure that can be used to mend the heart of the sword and warm the soul. The magic weapon is of high quality.

It's just that he didn't take these kind of beautiful words seriously. Yamazawa Yexiu was kind of good, but he knew how to admit his mistakes.

But there was another addition that really made his heart flutter. It had nothing to do with money or anything. The man surnamed Cui said that he knew a few sword cultivators from the Great Wall of Sword Qi and could help introduce them to them in the future.

Tao Ran was half convinced, and of course more suspicious.

Because if I remember correctly, there seems to be only one swordsman named Wang Shizi among the swordsmen in Tongyezhou who went to the Sword Qi Great Wall to practice.

Like himself, he was from the distasteful Yamazawa Yexiu, and the other party was from the Great Wall of Sword Qi who went to the Golden Core Realm.

Although he was a golden elixir when he left, he was still a golden elixir when he returned, but because he dared to go to the Great Sword Qi Wall alone and was willing to be on the battlefield, Tao Ran was willing to sincerely admire him.

But this guy had a brain cramp, and he actually went to Tongye Sect to be worshiped in the ancestral hall. From a hero at the foot of the mountain to a lackey on the mountain, he thought he had made a mistake.

Tao Ran's current situation was also a self-inflicted fate. He killed a little demon beast in the Golden Core realm, but the other party was responsible for it. However, he was soon seriously injured by a follower of an old Nascent Soul beast. He flew away with his life. The sword was badly injured that time, and once it was mended, it would definitely be a bottomless pit that would cost countless people money. In fact, when gunfire was everywhere, there was no battlefield with disparity in strength and one-sided slaughter?

Countless capitals, capitals, prefectures, counties and cities were swept by the monster army. This sword cultivator from Shanze Wild Cultivator held back and said it was none of my business.

In the end, it was just because of a small thing, maybe because my brain was cramping, but I couldn't hold it back anyway.

I have no choice but to suffer a lot. I always eat it again and again and forget it. I will be like this for the rest of my life and I can't change it.

I never thought that in the end, only Jiang Shangzhen, whom I originally disliked the most, could be considered a man.

Do you need a reason to scold Jiang Shangzhen? unnecessary.

What's more, he really had several reasons. For example, the two mountain fairies he had admired in the early years were both raped by the same pig.

As the head of the Jiang family in Yunku Blessed Land, Tao Ran could scold him as much as he wanted, which meant that he was of low level and couldn't beat the opponent, otherwise he would have to scold him in person.

But as the old leader of the Jade Gui Sect, Tao Ran really couldn't scold Jiang Shangzhen for what he did.

Therefore, Master Cui Xian, before leaving the ferry, even boasted about himself.

He said that as long as he became a registered guest in his family's Xiandu Mountain, even if he scolded Jiang Shangzhen in front of him, Jiang Shangzhen would not retaliate and would even make excuses.

So Tao Ran is now alone, helping others to look after the family property. In this way, he is only slightly better than Master Wang. They are both watchdogs. But since Xiandu Mountain has no reputation at all, it is no better than that Tong. Ye Zong, okay.

As for when to officially start the groundbreaking and continue to build this ferry, Cui Xianshi said that it would have to wait until next year. He vowed that a group of bastards wanted to compete with him for business and were making trouble.

Wait, turn around and merge with it.

The boy in white shook his snow-white sleeves, waved his hand, and drew a big circle. When he said that, here would be the scene of one country with two crossings on the east and west.

Just get used to it, he is a man who talks a lot about ferry boats.

Fortunately, that Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level is real.

Chen Pingan smiled from the bottom of his heart: "We are all from Xiandu Mountain."

Tao Ran was stunned. Was he still half a member of his family?

Hearing that the other party was from Xiandu Mountain, Tao Ran was a little curious. This was the first Xiandu Mountain person Tao Ran had met besides Master Cui. But why does he not look like a Taoist, but a pure martial artist?

But it seems that he is more serious and normal than Master Cui Xian.

Could it be that he is the disciple and grandson of Cui Lao Yuanying?

After all, monks on the mountain often seem younger, higher in level, and older.

The other party smiled and introduced himself: "My surname is Chen, my first name is Pingan, and I am Cui Dongshan's husband."

Good guy, here comes another unreliable talker.

Doesn’t it mean that one family doesn’t enter the same house?

A gentleman who is an old immortal in the Nascent Soul Realm?

At least change the title to something more decent, like Master? Preachers?

Why don't you just say that you are Chen Ping'an from Aquarius Continent?

I really want to hold the heads of these proud men and young swordsmen of the fifth realm and ask them how they got to their realms?

The small Aquarius Continent, a far bigger place, a continent, unexpectedly, within a short period of time, three swordsmanship geniuses appeared one after another, Fengxue Temple Wei and Jin Dynasties, Longquan Sword Sect Liu Xianyang, Luoluoshan Chen Ping'an, it seems that They are all in the Jade Pure Realm in their forties.

Damn it, when I was two years old, these young swordsmen were still wearing crotchless pants and playing in the mud.

The man in green shirt in front of him had two swords folded on one side of his waist.

Or a pure martial artist. Either these two narrow knives are magic knives forged by the immortal master on the mountain.

Chen Ping'an sat at the table, picked up a bowl of wine, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I heard from my student that your name is Tao Ran, and you are a golden elixir swordsman."

Tao Ran squatted aside and was busy stewing fish, and said casually: "He's just in the Golden Core realm, he's just a bullshit swordsman."

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked: "Can I ask, how did you hurt your natal flying sword?"

Tao Ran said angrily: "Put yourself in my shoes, would you answer?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded: "It makes sense. Let's find opportunities to have a few more drinks in the future. We can talk if we want to."

Tao Ran sneered and said: "Don't do this, I'm not familiar with you. I'm just living in your Xiandu Mountain, living with a pure martial artist who shows off his power, but I can't urinate in a pot."

Chen Pingan laughed it off and turned to look at the river.

According to Master Xu's explanation of characters, the old locust tree makes fire and the fat condenses into fire.

Tao Ran saw that the guy seemed to be waiting for a free meal of stewed fish. Jian Xiu's expression became more and more displeased. He frowned and said in a low voice, "It's okay to just drink. Don't even think about eating."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Tao Jianxian doesn't look like he was a casual cultivator at all."

Tao Ran turned around with a dark face and said, "Can you shut up?"

Chen Pingan raised the wine bowl in his hand, of course.

Xiao Mo smiled and asked, "Tao Jianxian, do you want my help?"

Tao Ran said impatiently: "Crawl away."

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, and imitated his master and lifted the wine bowl in his hand. Okay.

Tao Ran looked at this group of people out of the corner of his eye. He was annoyed, but his temper was quite acceptable.

If you go back and complain to Mr. Cui, wear small shoes for yourself, and talk about what you say behind your back, I will no longer be a shitty guest.

In the end, Tao Ran, who was cooking rice and stewing fish, squatted not far away and began to eat by himself.

Chen Ping'an put down the empty wine bowl and said, "Tao Jianxian, the ginger is a little too little and the cinnamon is a little too much."

Tao Ran grinned, which was interesting. This sentence is quite pleasing to the ear.

Chen Ping'an didn't plan to wait here to meet the master and servant Shao Poxian and Menglong.

After standing up to say goodbye, Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Back at Xiandu Mountain, I'll treat you to a real fish stew."

Tao Ran rolled his eyes.

Seeing that the guy who claimed to be Chen Pingan left immediately, the sword cultivator hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chen Pingan can't be the one from Luoluo Mountain in Aquarius Continent, right?"

I never thought that the swordsman in green shirt would actually smile and nod: "If nothing else happens, I will."

Tao Ran was speechless, then twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his head and let out a sigh.

Fortunately, the group of people turned into rainbows and left in an instant.

————

Returning all the way to the north, we stopped at Daquan Dynasty on the way, and stayed at the Fairy Inn called Taoyuan Bieye at Taoye Ferry in the capital city.

After spending Chen Pingan's two small sums of money, he still only had two smallest houses, which were only slightly better than a single room.

In the inn, there are also some beauties with talismans from the old Shuyi Building "Yin Zhai" who have long been purchased by immortal masters from outside Yuzhigang. They are now also one of the golden signs of Taoyuan Villa.

And according to Lord Fu Yin's gossip, the proprietress behind this Taoyuan villa is also one of the secondary beauties on the rouge list, and her ranking is not low.

To guests who stay here, when they leave the inn, Taoyuan Villa will give them a gift box for free, which contains a peach charm, several peach blossom notes, and a peach blossom fan. In fact, if they are added together, they can contain more than a dozen snowflakes. It’s money, but it means a lot. If you spend a lot of money and live in a Taoyuan villa, you can't say anything to the outside world, and you will fall into the lower class. But when you go out, you may hang a peach charm on your waist, or hold a peach blossom fan, or you may send a message with a flying sword to your friends. At that time, I wrote words on the peach blossom paper.

When outsiders see it, they understand it.

He is indeed a rich man who has lived in Taoyuan Villa.

If you stay in a single-family house, there are two pocket peach wood swords as gifts, which have more uses. They can be used as exquisite fan pendants for the peach blossom fan, and the female immortal master can also use them as hairpins to hold up her bun.

For example, Mr. Yuwen on the Peijiang cruise ship earlier was this type of rich man.

Aquarius Island, you must drink the wine from Changchun Palace, Tongye Island, you must live in Taoyuan Villa.

This is how business really works.

The reason for being so lavish is that Chen Pingan asked Cui Dongshan to help make an appointment with someone and they would meet here secretly.

The chief worshiper of Jinding Temple is Lu Ying.

Lu Ying mistook him for Fei Ran, the co-leader of the Wilderness.

This old Yuanying who mastered a useless "ancient Shinto art of fortune-telling" is also a talent.

It can be compared with Immortal Yunqiao from Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion.

One person believed so firmly that everyone was so drunk that they regarded him as the lord of Baidi City.

A determined person believed that Chen Ping'an was the outstanding incarnation of the wild world.

They are all wizards on the mountain who are hard to find with a lantern. In Chen Pingan's mind, they are only slightly inferior to the genius brother in Zhengyang Mountain who works hard and is in charge of espionage.

Chen Pingan looked at the freshly released Zhongtu Di newspaper and sighed.

Does the Shanhai Sect of the Middle Earth Divine Continent have any grudge against me?

As expected of Taoyuan Biye, the information is better informed than that of ordinary sect candidates.

That's right, the local monks of Tongye Continent don't have the spare money and time to collect newspapers from the Middle Earth Divine Continent. At most, they just want to know what's going on in the mountains of Aquarius Continent and Beijulu Continent.

What's more, everyone knows the reputation of Tongyezhou now, so why bother asking for trouble and spending money to get scolded?

I turned to read a few local mountain landscape newspapers. The one with the most pages was the Huashen Mountain Rouge List of Yunku Blessed Land, which also had two main and negative reviews.

First the chief and then the deputy, the women who were judged included Yao Jinzhi, the empress of Daquan, Xu Qingzhu, the master of Bailong Cave, and Han Jiangshu, the daughter of the Wanyao Sect leader of Sanshan Blessed Land.

On the sub-commentary, there is Xiao Longqiu's Linghu Jiayu, a female crowned female from Jinding Temple, a princess from the Yu Dynasty, and a heroine from the Jianghu.

It is a pity that the women who were not selected for the main review probably have nothing of their own. On the contrary, the men who admire them will definitely have to spend all their money and compete for a high ranking for the woman they like in the side review.

For example, one of the Shanshui Di newspapers specifically wrote about a romantic incident.

There was a new dynasty that restored the country and was extremely upright. A young official who served in the Ministry of Household Affairs was not an ordinary audacious man. He dared to embezzle the national treasury privately for a small fifth-rank official. He converted all of it into three million taels of silver. The fairy money was thrown to the Flower God Mountain in Jiang's Cloud Cave Blessed Land!

Not only did he lose his official position, he almost lost his head because of this. The reason why he almost lost his head was because the family was selling iron. The father who was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and who had a son late in life borrowed money from friends and got credit from banks. Anyway, he could use it. All methods were used, and all the favors that could be owed were owed, and most of the shortfall was made up.

The young man, on the other hand, rode in a carriage with a few followers, and hung a seal engraved by himself on his waist. The bottom of the seal was engraved with three characters, one household.

There is no place for me to stay here. I have my own place to stay. I go to travel around the mountains and rivers.

When Cui Dongshan climbed Qingping Peak together, he specifically talked about this interesting incident with his husband. He also said that he took a break from his busy schedule and watched a good show there.

It turned out that the young man's father couldn't stop him, and he was so angry that his face was livid and his lips were trembling. He threw the teacup on the spot in the study room, saying that he was an unworthy, treacherous, and evil son!

Even though his ears didn't hurt after being scolded, the young man still left home and went to Beijing. Anyway, he wouldn't go to find the fairy he admired, even if he met her once.

When it comes to spending money, I just want justice. This is called celebrity romance.

The sound of lust in the picture is obscene. It’s definitely not something done by the romantic handsome men of my generation.

Besides, my appearance is a bit unsatisfactory, as I follow my father but not my mother. I guess even if I ask to see the fairy, I will be rejected. Why bother, why not leave a good thought for yourself.

As a result, not long after leaving the capital, he returned to the capital. Not only did he make a fortune, he made up for the deficit in the national treasury, he was promoted and became the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

It turned out that I met a like-minded person on the way. The other person claimed that his surname was Zhou. He was a foreigner from Aquarius Continent. He was a dilettante monk whose realm was not worth mentioning. His Taoist name was Zhenjun Beng, and he said that he came to Tong. It didn't take long for Yezhou, but unexpectedly, he felt like he was hit in the head immediately. He was stunned and dizzy. He actually saw his feat, and his impression of the entire Tongyezhou suddenly changed. In the end, he left three fairy coins that he had never seen before. When the young man returned to Beijing and inquired again, he found out that they were the most valuable Guyu coins in the legend!

Brother Zhou also left a letter with sincere words. It’s not that his friends couldn’t say such things. In the past twenty years, how unscrupulous and thought of himself as a fool did he have to praise him for his handsome appearance? This letter is different. Instead, it asks him to serve well as an official and flourish in his official career. He is not greedy for money anyway, so why not just be an upright and good official and enjoy blessings based on the merits of his ancestors? Who wouldn't do it? If you are a fetus, you still need to learn to enjoy yourself? Spend a lot of money and still need someone to teach you? On the contrary, if you succeed in the hard-working business, you will be considered the real first-class romantic dandy in the world...

The young man understood it right away, which was much more effective than if his father had been nagging in his ears for more than 20 years.

Being the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, who has a noble status and does not do any serious work, is nothing more than a blessing. If you want to be the minister of the Ministry of Works, your father starts to curse you as a treacherous son and a naughty son.

In the end, he actually went to work as an errand in the Ministry of Industry, only then did he realize that if he didn't secretly make money, life would be so miserable and the official duties were heavy. In addition, he was so excited that he took the initiative to take over the work. He traveled to the local prefectures and counties, slept in the open air, and had bubbles on his lips. , my hands and feet are calloused, and I am so tired that I fall asleep every day. What else do I want about women? I'm so tired that I don't even have erotic dreams anymore. Young people only feel that the good life of more than 20 years has been paid back with interest.

As a result, when he returned to the capital, his father had been waiting eagerly at the door for a long time. He was really waiting for his son to return home from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Only when Master Shangshu saw the carriage did he immediately return to the study and sit upright. When the old man looked at This son, who has lost a lot of weight since he was only a month old, did not drop the tea cup again. He was silent for a long time. When he spoke, he was still the same treacherous son and naughty son as always said...

In fact, the young man felt extremely bitter. Originally, he wanted to give up when he returned to Beijing this time. You can go to the Ministry of Rites, or return to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and become a minister. The job of being a minister in the Ministry of Industry is really not a job for one person.

But when the court meeting ended one day, the young minister looked at his father in the distance. He was obviously already gray-haired and stooped, but he was full of energy and laughed with his colleagues in a loud voice.

The young minister silently told himself that he had to stay in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry for another year and a half...

From this we can see that Cui Zongzhu is always busy and always free when he is free.

The reason why Chen Pingan said those heartfelt words to Liang Shuang in the first place.

"The phoenix tree is really unwilling to wither, and its leaves still make a sound in the wind."

In addition to talking about the group of young swordsmen from Tongye Sect, it also talks about young people under the mountain like this.

A house in Taoyuan.

Some people are extremely anxious right now.

If the opponent doesn't come, it's like having a sword hanging over your head, and it's about to fall, but if the opponent is really coming, you don't know how to deal with it, and you always feel that you can't defeat it in a competition of scheming.

Left alone and restless, the old monk lamented.

It's another way of doing things without anyone noticing.

Someone appeared behind Lu Ying, stretched out a hand, and gently pressed the old Yuanying's shoulder, "Chief Lu, we meet again."

As for the other side of the door, there was still the young woman with her hair in a bun, arms folded across her chest, leaning against the door.

The man behind him smiled and said: "Chief Lu, if you are so restless, are you trying to use my head to claim credit from the Chinese Confucian Temple?"

Lu Ying was so frightened that he jumped up and said with a wry smile: "Fei Ran Sword Immortal, please don't scare me anymore. I am a wild cultivator from Shanze, and I am not as courageous as the Immortal Genealogy Master."

Lu Ying suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, slapped himself hard, changed his title, and said with a flattering smile: "I have met Cao Keqing."

Chen Ping'an moved a chair and sat opposite Lu Ying. He raised his palm, pressed it twice, crossed his legs, took out the tobacco rod and bag, and started puffing smoke with skillful movements, sparks dotted.

Lu Ying asked cautiously: "Cao Keqing, do you have any instructions for summoning me this time?"

The last time we met, the guy in front of me reported a series of identities, such as the second-class minister of the Jiang family in Yunku, the second-class guest minister of Jiuyifeng of Jade Guizong, and the third-class guest minister of Shenzhuan Peak Patriarch Hall. His name was There is only one, Cao Mo.

But when we met again today, the other party not only had two more narrow knives on his waist, but also smoked dry cigarettes.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Lu Zongfeng chose to go out at noon for this long trip down the mountain, right?"

Lu Ying looked embarrassed.

Last time, it was the woman at the door who helped reveal the secret. Only then did Lu Ying realize that there was something behind his words, otherwise "something would happen sooner or later."

Chen Pingan asked: "You're not superfluous, are you?"

Although the other party spoke in a dark and unclear way, Lu Ying understood immediately. Old Yuanying did not boast, his own character and cautious behavior were still a bit higher than Yuanying's realm. Although he stood up, he had already bent down hard. , the old monk said cautiously: "Cao Keqing should just be careful, and he will never do anything unnecessary. In the Golden Summit Temple, a chief worshiper should not miss what he should see, and should not say a word. Didn’t say anything.”

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Sit down and chat."

Telling a smart person a certain truth will make the other person a little suspicious. It is far better to let the smart person figure out the truth on his own and be convinced.

Lu Ying was ordered to sit down, but he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The earthly immortals who were born in Shanze Yexiu, even if they are just golden elixirs, are all used to the wind and rain. Their Taoist hearts are tenacious and their ambitions are good. They may be even better than those Nascent Souls who were born as genealogy masters. good.

Fortunately, the other party quickly got to the point, "When did your Guanzhu Du reach the Jade Pu realm? Or is it already the Jade Pu realm?"

Lu Ying said doubtfully: "Returning to Cao Keqing to ask questions, I returned to Jinding Temple this time, and that Du Hanling has never shown any signs of retreat."

From Nascent Soul to Yupu, the movement will not be small.

Without thinking about that Fei Ran nodded directly and said: "It's probably Yu Pu already."

Lu Ying thought about it for a moment and was filled with admiration. He was indeed the wild co-leader who was bold and daring, but had not been found by the Confucian Temple so far. How amazing!

Lu Ying ignored the shock in his heart and quickly made up for it, "Before going down the mountain, I had a drink with Yin Miaofeng and didn't let anything slip. But it seems that, with some clues about the Taoist temple's treasury, his disciple Shao Yuanran is very likely to be there soon." If you go into seclusion, your chances of becoming a Nascent Soul are not small."

Yin Miaofeng's master is Yin Miaofeng, whose Taoist name is "Taoist Baozhen".

Both master and apprentice were once royal servants of the Daquan Dynasty, and were responsible for helping the Liu court at that time supervise the Yao family's border troops.

Chen Pingan nodded, suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you really not superfluous? Chief Lu, why do I feel like you are setting me up?"

Lu Ying suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, shrunk his sleeves with one hand, clasped a jade pendant in his hand, and said in his heart: "Cheng Shanchang, if you don't close the net now, when will you wait?!"

Xiao Mo, who was sitting in the courtyard, couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, his young master had caught him by surprise, and he could still be saved.

For Lu Ying, once the incident comes to light and the matter is exposed, he will be colluding with the wild world! Not to mention the Chinese Confucian Temple, the methods of Xuegong Academy are now very different from those in the past. Even the local monks of Tongye Sect will eat him alive if they find out about this.

So before coming to Taoye Ferry, Lu Ying made up his mind and secretly sent a letter to Du Hanling at the Fairy Ferry at Jinding Temple without telling him.

Just waiting for that Fei Ran to throw himself into the trap.

Even if you are unlucky, you can still distance yourself from Fei Ran and Savage World. If you are lucky, it is a great achievement! No matter what is happening in front of you, whether it is the incarnation of the Yin God, or some other messy means, as long as you are caught by the Confucian Temple, you might be able to obtain permission from the Confucian Temple and start a sect.

If the last time we said goodbye to Huang Heji's Luoshike Dojo mansion, the two sides would never meet again. At worst, I would walk on my single-plank bridge, while Feiran would continue walking on your Yangguan Road. If you ignored me, Lu Ying, I would just pretend that I had never seen you. Anyway, I, Lu Ying, didn’t do anything, I just chatted a lot of nonsense with you in Yunku Paradise. Even if Dafu Academy and Zhongtu Confucian Temple were held accountable afterwards, the worst possible outcome would be that I would be arrested and sent to the Merit Forest to study the books of sages for a few years. Maybe we can even meet Liu Cha.

It's just that the academy jade plaque in his sleeve has not moved at all, and his inner thoughts and words are like a mud cow drowning in the sea.

Lu Ying instantly felt like falling into an ice cave.

Damn it!

There was no response from Dafu Academy and Cheng Longzhou. Could it be that we are burning bridges across rivers? Are you going to let yourself have a fight with Fei Ran first? Knocking an egg to death means death. I am just a broken Nascent Soul, can I hurt the other party at all? !

You stupid scholars, who talk so much about the teachings of saints and sages, but end up being full of bad ideas, are worse than us casual cultivators who are eating like wild dogs...

Is it just another flash of inspiration, or is Cheng Longzhou, an old Jiao-born Academy Master, actually a wonderful hidden chess piece in front of him?

Lu Ying was in a complicated mood for a moment and was speechless, except that he would definitely have to walk around without being able to eat.

Could it be that my hometown, a continent with mountains and rivers that finally had some semblance of semblance, would have to make the same mistakes sooner or later?

Lu Ying feels that the current monastic life is actually not bad. Although there are constant bumps and bumps, he can always avoid some major disasters. In any case, he now has this hard-won peace in the world.

pretty good.

Is it going to disappear again?

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Whether it's because he wanted to be a hero because of his passion, or because he just wanted to protect himself out of selfish motives, Tongyezhou monk Lu Ying did something... personal matter."

Xiao Mo, who was sitting on the steps of the courtyard, laughed heartily, "This old monk is a little sad."

Pei Qian gathered his voices into a line and said to his master: "Lu Ying's mind picture, a scene appeared for a moment, and there was a woman with a blurry face."

On the way here, Chen Ping'an had already passed the sword room of Feng Yuan Ferry. Feijian sent a letter and told Dafu Academy three things.

The Luopo Mountain Society will establish the next sect in the beginning of next year, and invite the Academy Master Cheng Longzhou to watch the ceremony. Then they ask Zhong Kui how to send the message. Finally, if the Golden Summit Temple enshrines the reed eagle, he secretly sends a message to Dafu Academy, saying that he is Feiran, and the academy The matter can be documented as usual over there, but there is no need to mobilize troops to "encircle and suppress Feiran" here at Taoye Ferry.

Lu Ying was confused.

He is considered a kind person, but now that he is older and has a higher level, he wants to be stable.

For example, after becoming the chief worshiper of Jinding Temple, he traveled far away and willingly recommended himself as a pillow mat, or he wanted to change his family and recognize him as his master or even his godfather. He could be counted on one hand.

And for so many years, the two women who have been asking for and missing the most, one is Huang Ting of Taipingshan, is a young and crazy woman.

There is also the female founder of Yuzhigang who caused such a big disaster. Now the entire Tongye Continent is cursing a dead person.

But instead of scolding her, Lu Ying made a special trip to the Yuzhigang ruins. In the ruins there, he squatted, drank, and muttered to himself.

Because you are the Immortal Genealogy Master, you are the Immortal Genealogy Master. You may be a little stupid, but you are a good person.

After slamming a bottle of wine to the ground, this infamous old Yuanying finally forced out a crooked smile and laughed. At that time, he originally wanted to take advantage of most of the ancestors of Yuzhigang to go to Yugui. Zong participated in a grand opening ceremony, and Wei Ying became the master of Shenzhuan Peak. It was a big deal. Lu Ying planned to come to Shuyi Building here to steal some talismans, but hey...

Before Old Yuanying left the ruins, he said one last thing, What an unexpected surprise, I accidentally peeked at your beauty out of the bath, but I didn’t look too much, and I missed your neck, and you discovered your whereabouts, otherwise I would remember you now. A bit more realistic.

Ripples rippled, mist rose, and an elegant old man with a high crown and a scholar's degree appeared out of thin air. He was Cheng Longzhou, the current mountain chief of Dafu Academy, the former Huangtingguo Laojiao, and the deputy mountain chief of Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain.

Chen Ping'an put away his tobacco pole, stood up and bowed to the Academy Headmaster.

Cheng Longzhou bowed in return.

If Chen Pingan was just the young mountain master of Luopo Mountain and received the secret letter from Lu Ying, even if Chen Pingan was still a close disciple of Wen Sheng, Cheng Longzhou still wouldn't dare to take it lightly, but this young swordsman still has an identity, so Cheng Longzhou came alone this time.

However, the academy will still secretly record this matter as stated in Chen Ping'an's letter, and Cheng Longzhou has also immediately sent a letter to the Zhongtu Confucian Temple to report the matter.

Seeing the old man with a high crown and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, Lu Ying was completely confused. What was going on?

Cheng Longzhou smiled and said: "Cleverness leads to mistakes. This Cao Mo in front of you is not Feiran at all. Of course, you can continue to misunderstand. For example, I am from the demon clan, so I have colluded with this 'Feiran' for a long time, so You should never send a letter to Dafu Academy."

Lu Ying looked embarrassed.

Even if I can't trust myself, I can still trust the vision of the Middle Earth Confucian Temple.

There is the most holy teacher, the sage of etiquette and the lesser sages, not to mention the new sage of literature.

Cheng Longzhou threw a copy of the Shanshui Residence newspaper to Lu Ying, "Look for yourself, the answer is there."

Lu Ying turned over and over again, fearing that he would miss a word, so he just read it twice, not wanting to understand what the Academy Headmaster wanted me to read.

There isn’t even a few words about Cao Mo.

If you want to say that Cao Mo is a pseudonym, why not Fei Ran from the Savage World, but Wei Ying from the Jade Gui Sect's Great Sword Immortal? That’s why you walked side by side with Jiang Shangzhen?

Otherwise, it’s that outsider from the Sword Qi Great Wall... Chen Pingan?

Interrupting the Immortal Hairpin City in the wild world, dragging the throne demon Concubine Fei into the river, evacuating Tuoyue Mountain, and finally killing an Ascension Realm sword cultivator, the chief disciple of the Tuoyue Mountain Ancestor?

If it's true.

I immediately knelt down and kowtowed a few times.

Anyway, if it gets out, it will be a good talk.

Cheng Longzhou said: "Although Cao Mo is not Fei Ran, you did not choose to collude with the misunderstood 'Barbarian Fei Ran'. Instead, you took risks and revealed the secret. Dafu Academy will record it in the book and will not announce it to the public until you need this credit in the future." At that time, for example, it can be used to make up for the mistakes, but the ugly words are ahead of the time. There are some mistakes that cannot be offset by the merits and demerits. You have to weigh it yourself."

Lu Ying quickly pretended to bow and salute, and thanked Mr. Cheng Shan.

Chen Ping'an accompanied Cheng Longzhou to the courtyard. The Academy Headmaster was in a complicated mood.

When the two sides met for the first time, the other party was a young man holding a hatchet and wearing straw sandals. He was as tanned as black coal. However, although the young man looked thin, he gave people a strong feeling. He could be regarded as round on the outside and square on the inside.

Cheng Longzhou smiled and said: "It's not easy to get to where we are today."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It's all the same."

The old man opened his palm, and the old scholar who was no longer a literary sage gave him a golden text.

Like a riddle.

Volt.

The dormant volts are also the volts of the Dafu Academy today.

Chen Pingan asked: "Yang Pu of your Dafu Academy is not a sage now?"

At the Taiping Mountain site, Yang Pu, a Confucian scholar from the academy, stayed at the gate of the mountain for a full three years. He was looked down upon and ignored, which was equivalent to enmity with many forces on the mountain. Moreover, Yang Pu had not received instructions from the academy, but just had a brain. He was hot, so he went to Taiping Mountain to guard the gate regardless of it. At that time, the post of mountain director of Dafu Academy was still vacant. It was after Yang Pu stayed there for a while that Cheng Longzhou took office, and then the academy really started to support Yang Pu.

Chen Pingan faced a golden elixir, a Yuan Ying, a Yu Pu, and an immortal at the gate of Taiping Mountain.

Li Zhen, the disciple of the great ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain, and Han Yushu, the immortal of Wanyao Sect in Sanshan Blessed Land.

These two are both first-class rich men.

These two fights were the most fruitful after Chen Ping'an fought.

Not to mention... half of the boxing manual.

Because that Sect Master Han had received a punch from an eleventh-level warrior.

"Already."

Cheng Longzhou smiled and said: "This brat has just become a sage, and he starts asking me how to become a gentleman. The reason is very good. He said that Sect Master Jiang once personally promised that one day he will become a gentleman. I made an appointment with Master Chen to have a drink together, and we made an appointment at Dafu Academy."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "This is the truth."

Cheng Longzhou said: "I have contacted Zhong Kui and asked him to go directly to Xiandu Mountain to find you."

Chen Pingan cupped his fists to say thank you.

Cheng Longzhou smiled and waved his hand, and disappeared in a flash.

Lu Ying didn't dare to leave the house until he was sure that Chief Cheng Shan had left. He was really afraid of being settled by this guy who was not Fei Ran.

The other party is not Fei Ran, but better than Fei Ran.

No wonder at the beginning, he said "Feiran's grandson" every time.

There is really no one in the world who dares to say such a thing, and is suitable to say it, but the last Yinguan of the Sword Qi Great Wall is the only one, right?

Seeing the green-shirted figure sitting on the steps, he started puffing away again.

Lu Ying had no choice but to take one step forward, landing directly at the bottom of the steps, and then sat down again.

Chen Ping'an took out the tobacco stick, knocked it, replaced it with tobacco, and asked, "Have you been to Yuzhigang?"

Lu Ying was greatly surprised, and then just nodded silently.

There are so many beauties in the world, but I never thought that in the end, I would still think more of that woman I only glimpsed.

How much I like it, of course, I can't talk about it. Earlier, it was just a man's lust. Now, it's just a touch of sadness, lingering in my heart, lingering, hard to let go, and there seems to be no reason to explain.

Chen Pingan asked: "Lu Ying, what do you think?"

Lu Ying said without hesitation: "If I were the monk of Yuzhigang's Patriarch Hall and I was there at that time, when she was obsessed with opening the door to take in the refugees, I would have slapped her directly in the face. I couldn't wake her up even if I scolded her. Can’t wake her up?”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, she is in the Jade Pu realm, and Chief Lu is just a Nascent Soul. It's hard to say who will beat whom."

Lu Ying nodded, "That's right."

When my mother-in-law was alive, she was very fierce.

Of course, she is still a little better than the young female champion swordsman from Taipingshan.

The two fell silent.

Lu Ying asked tentatively: "Chen Jianxian, are you really that hidden official?"

This kind of thing, no matter how true it is, still makes people feel incredible.

According to calculations, a foreigner from Aquarius Continent, when he arrived at the Great Sword Qi Wall, the man next to him who was still a young man at the time became such a "high official" in the Great Sword Qi Wall.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Otherwise?"

Lu Ying began to think of words and said slowly: "Lord Yin Guan, before I came to Taoye Ferry, I was at the Jinding Temple. Not long ago, I opened a Shanshui Di newspaper from Aaizhou, saying that the two seals were exactly the same. It is written by Lord Yin Guan, so... can you give me a seal book? Of course, if it is a seal, it would be even better. I will treasure it well and keep it as a family heirloom, although I have never been a formal mountain Taoist monk. , has no heirs for the time being, but this kind of thing will not be difficult after all with a little effort..."

Lu Ying was rushing to become a Taoist couple with Huang Ting, but the result was not good and he almost hacked himself to death. The problem is that that little girl is not authentic. Before the fight started and during the fight, she didn't say that she was from Taiping Mountain. If Lu Ying had known the identity of the other party, let alone provoking Huang Ting, he would have left as soon as he saw her. If he walked slowly, he would have acted like he had no brains. At that time, Tong Yezhou was recognized as one who should not mess with the Taipingshan monks.

Although the "descendants of the immortal family" born to the Taoist monks in the mountains may not necessarily be successful, as long as they are able to practice independently without relying on immortal money, their qualifications are often beyond ordinary people.

For example, Linghu Jiaoyu from Xiaolongqiu, Ma Linshi, the direct disciple of Xu Qingzhu from Bailongdong, and Youqi, the direct grandson of their master in charge of law, all have excellent Taoist aptitudes.

As a result, as he was talking, Lu Ying noticed that Lord Yin Guan was squinting at him.

Lu Ying shut up immediately.

Got it, it’s time to flatter him.

Isn't this a flattery that wants to find a tricky angle?

With the prominent status of this hidden official, will he be short of those with ordinary skills to flatter him?

It seems that I thought wrongly.

After receiving Xiao Mo's heartfelt words, Chen Ping'an stood up, raised the tobacco stick in his hand, pointed at the smoke in the air, and condensed twelve words, "I'll treat it as a gift to you."

It turned out that Lord Fuyin Yao Xianzhi came here again.

Over at Chen Ping'an's house, Yao Xianzhi smiled when they met: "Your Majesty has agreed, our Daquan Dynasty can do this business with Xiandushan in partnership!"

In fact, that was not what he said at the beginning. His Majesty the Emperor left the palace incognito after retiring from the court early one morning. When she arrived at the Yao Mansion, after a heart-to-heart talk with her grandfather, she found Yao Xianzhi waiting at the door. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor When she heard about this, she rejected it without hesitation, and her face was not very good-looking. But for some reason, before returning to the palace, she changed her mind and said that this was feasible.

His Majesty rubbed his brows at that time and added that the treasury was short of money.

But Yao Xianzhi didn't say anything more to Mr. Chen about these family matters.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor is a woman, and a woman's heart is deep in the sea. How could he, a rough old man, guess that he is not Mr. Chen?

The reed eagle in the other house looked at the gradually dissipating smoke words and read them twice. The old monk felt that it was meaningful. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly clapped his knees and cheered loudly.

"Quietly meditate, be respectful and alert to the world, and stay away from the Tao until you can practice it."

After returning to Xiandu Mountain, Chen Pingan continued to travel north, leaving Cao Qinglang behind. He only brought Pei Qian and Xiaomo with him to visit Xiaolongqiu.

Xiaolongqiu is not far from Xiandu Mountain, and can barely be regarded as a neighbor on the mountain.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. How can we not become familiar faces?

Huang Ting, the female crown of Taiping Mountain who first met in the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, is now cultivating on the edge of the ancestral hall of another family.

In fact, Xiao Longqiu had a friend from the mountain whom he didn't know before.

It was Zhang Liuzhu, one of the two earthly immortals who served as door gods at the gate of Taiping Mountain, Xiao Longqiu's chief guest.

Old Yuanying is proficient in water magic and is obviously quite conceited about it. It can be seen from his Taoist name, Narcissus.

Like Lu Ying, he was born as a wild cultivator. Instead of taking refuge in the colorful world, he transformed himself and followed the same "climbing" path as Lu Ying, and became a genealogy immortal master.

According to Chief Zhou, anything can go up the mountain now. From the early years when everyone was shouting and killing Shanze Yexiu, he has become the mainstay, backbone and backbone of Yizhou Mountains and Rivers.

At that time, the two sides fought, and Lao Yuanying was split in half without even seeing the enemy's face.

Later, he was detained and taken to the gate of the mountain. His soul was stripped out and hung above his head. Waves of heart-cutting pain hit his heart like a tidal wave.

And the temper of that strange monk on the mountain is really... hard to describe.

He just raised his foot and stepped hard on a Jade Purity female cultivator who was a proud woman of heaven. He cursed and kicked her one after another, leaving a big hole and the woman's head was missing.

Different from the Golden Elixir Immortal of the Yu Dynasty, this old Yuanying, who is now extremely noble, was sent away by Jiang Shangzhen at the Taiping Mountain.

A nightmare.

After the old Yuanying returned to Xiaolongqiu, he did not dare to say what happened there. He just spoke vaguely, saying that he was unable to defeat someone in a duel and was injured.

Huang Ting is easy to find, she is at Ruyijian of Xiaolongqiu Zu Mountain.

Chen Ping'an walked into the simple thatched hut. The young woman was munching on corn, and there was a lot of it in the brazier.

No need to be polite, Chen Pingan sat on the stool, bent down to pick up a piece of corn, and said straight to the point: "Huang Ting, do you need some immortal money? We still have a lot of surplus in the Luopo Mountain treasury. Here at the Xiandu Mountain Sect, I won’t ask Luo Po Shan for money, so I won’t delay the business. Anyway, it’s just like a number lying on the account book. If you really feel bad about it, we can calculate the interest.”

In the ruins of Taiping Mountain, the mountains and rivers are broken, thousands of miles away, and the spiritual energy is as thin as catkins floating in the wind. To rebuild, besides spending money, you have to rely on fairy money to make up for the lack of spiritual energy in the world. Before that, it is necessary to build a large formation and recruit a large number of landscape gods to build golden bodies and build ancestral temples to fill the gaps and help gather the spiritual energy to prevent it from dissipating rapidly, otherwise it will only be used as wedding clothes for others.

According to Jiang Shangzhen's rough estimate, if a new Taiping Mountain is to restore 30% of the landscape and climate of the sect's peak in the past two to three hundred years, it will require at least three to four thousand Grain Rain coins.

In addition, there are all kinds of messy human relationships, managing relationships with neighbors on the mountain, and business dealings with the dynasty at the foot of the mountain. Dozens of landscape temples were arranged as quickly as possible to help the gods in the jurisdiction obtain canonization from the court...

Chen Pingan knows the hardships here.

Especially in Taipingshan, Huang Ting is the only one left now.

Unlike his own Luo Luo Shan, even in the early days of the establishment, the mountain had Zhu Lian as the big housekeeper. Moreover, next door was the tiger Wei Bo, who had a close relationship with him.

Huang Ting shook his head and said: "It's not necessary for the time being. I still have some wealth, which can be converted into a lot of fairy money. If one day I am really short of money, I won't be polite to you, a rich man."

Chen Pingan nodded.

I cultivate myself in Taiping Mountain, and the incense continues in the Patriarch Hall.

When he was there before, Chen Pingan planned to defend Taipingshan for Taipingshan within eighty years.

The little dragon Qiu at the feet of both sides is the descendant of the big dragon Qiu of the Middle-earth Divine Continent. In fact, to be precise, it is "going down the mountain".

In fact, those two self-proclaimed great sages and kings were not the only ones who moved around that year. They were just following the example of Immortal Master Xiao Longqiu.

However, Qinghu Palace in Qingjing Mountain moved to Aquarius Island and made great achievements there, while Xiao Longqiu crossed the sea and claimed to have found a secret landscape. It was relatively fast to move back then, and it wasn't that slow to return home later. Then he fell in love with the Taiping Mountain ruins, and planned to join the sect, move the ancestral hall, and cast an ancient moon mirror imitating Taiping Mountain.

And the Great Longqiu of the Zhongtu Sect is the well-deserved Immortal Family with the title of the sect. All the monks from the Ancestral Hall are mirror craftsmen on the mountain. The immortal master casts precious mirrors, among which the two highest-ranking precious mirrors are named "Stop the Moon" and "Stop the Water" have mysterious magical powers. They have always been rare and valuable treasures with price but no market.

Most of the Taoist cultivators carry several similar objects when they travel through mountains and rivers, such as a mountain search map, a demon mirror, and a stack of landscape barrier-breaking talismans.

It's just like the Jianghu people who need gold, silver and fire to make a living.

The process of refining demon mirrors in the world can be divided into six lines with clear division of labor. Dalong Qiu Mirror Master has a monopoly on one of them. The casting of precious mirrors can best defeat the water-born spirits. The demon mirrors of the "Cash Mountain" lineage, The demand is greatest in the mountains, so Dalongqiu's financial resources are so abundant that it is difficult not to make money. Monks from all walks of life in the world climbed up poles to give money.

In other continents, the sects that collaborated with Dalongqiu to do business and help sell precious mirrors included Tianyu Dongtian of Liuxia Continent and Qionglin Sect of Beiju Luzhou. It's just that the treasured mirrors sold by the former are of high quality and expensive, and even those who are not earthly immortal genealogy monks or direct disciples of the sect will be put off by them.

Qionglin Sect only sells the most entry-level Dalongqiu Demonic Mirror. Even casual cultivators in the lower five realms can get a mirror if they grit their teeth.

Unlike Pushan and Bailongdong, Xiao Longqiu, who was also a candidate for the sect, did not participate in the massive Peach Leaf Alliance.

Huang Ting was silent for a moment, then joked with a smile: "I met Ning Yao, and his level is very high. If it is any higher, it would be a bit unreasonable. She is beautiful...that's all."

Chen Ping'an smiled, gnawed on the corn, and said straightforwardly: "In my eyes, Ning Yao is the prettiest anyway."

Huang Ting said: "Is there anything else?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said vaguely: "I plan to invite you to be the guest minister of the next sect, and if I have an idea, it depends on what you mean."

Huang Ting said: "Tell me about it."

Chen Ping'an said: "I want to be your worshiper at Taiping Mountain and make a name for it."

Huang Ting laughed and said, "There's nothing embarrassing about this. It's settled like this, but I have to be the chief guest of your sect."

Chen Pingan nodded, "No problem."

This is Chen Ping'an's second time serving in Bijiashantou, besides serving as the unnamed guest of the Liu family in Aaizhou. Rather, it was a direct offering, not even a registered guest.

Chen Pingan suddenly said: "If you are not suitable for Shuang Express Sword, I can kill him without anyone noticing."

Huang Ting looked at the man in green shirt, his face was expressionless, his tone was indifferent, and he... looked calm.

Huang Ting stared blankly at the guy. She was stunned for a long time, shook her head, and said softly: "It's better to say goodbye."

Chen Ping'an hummed and continued to eat corn.

After eating the corn in his hand, Chen Ping'an stood up and left, saying that he would go to Xiaolongqiu for a casual visit.

Huang Ting smiled and said, "I won't give it away. You are a guest and a worshiper. There are many opportunities to meet."

Wearing a green shirt, his back is far away.

Huang Ting then turned her head and glanced at the sword on the wall. She frowned slightly. It's strange. I'm not afraid of him. You have a sword. What are you afraid of?

————

Return to Qingping Peak of Xiandu Mountain again.

Chen Pingan found Cui Dongshan, first sacrificed a caged bird, and then asked Cui Dongshan to open the unknown small cave he got from Tian Wan, and then followed Cui Dongshan and entered it with only Xiao Mo.

In Xiaodongtian, Chen Pingan even asked Cui Dongshan to set up another golden thunder pool.

At the same time, let Xiaomo pay attention to whether there are outsiders snooping here.

Cui Dongshan's expression became solemn.

This may be the first time that Mr. Wang has mobilized a large number of people in this way. When we teamed up to deal with Wu Shuangjiang on the night cruise, Mr. Wu might not be as good as he is today.

Chen Pingan sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, with his hands in his sleeves. After Cui Dongshan sat down, he asked in his heart: "How can you deceive yourself and deceive heaven?"

Cui Dongshan asked in a deep voice: "Sir, do you want it?"

Chen Ping'an said something that made Cui Dongshan feel confused at first, and then his heart was shocked, "I have forgotten it myself. I only know that I must ask you for advice on this method again."

The Empress Dowager Nanhan of Great Li also had similar methods, but they could only be regarded as the most inferior and least popular methods.

Compared with the heavenly means that Chen Ping'an wanted, it was far behind.

Cui Dongshan remained silent.

Chen Pingan began to close his eyes and rest.

Cui Dongshan stood up, walked around in circles, suddenly shook his two snow-white sleeves, lowered his head to look at it, and sighed again and again.

Finally, he stood still and looked into the distance.

Back then, at the ancestral home of the Yuan family in Lizhu Cave, I, the "young Cui Han," reunited with Qi Jingchun and his two senior brothers.

Qi Jingchun once asked, intentionally or unintentionally, why you fell from the Twelve Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The half Cui Chan at that time, the Cui Dongshan in the future, his thoughts and explanations were not concealed, they were all truthful.

Because according to his "own" understanding, Qi Jingchun's knowledge is from the lineage of literary saints but can be unique, but he and that old bastard have been implicated too much,

The old scholar's knowledge was banned, and the status of the statues was reduced again and again. They were even moved out of the Confucian Temple and smashed into pieces. In Cui Dongshan's view, it was because Qi Jingchun had "come ashore", but as the first disciple of the Confucian Saint, "Cui Chan" It is necessary to break down and then build up again, completely abandon the orthodoxy inherited from the master, rely on meritorious service and knowledge, make a comeback in a continent, return to the immortal, and even ascend to the realm of ascension.

Qi Jingchun had another question at that time.

"That day, you and Cui Minghuang were acting for Wu Yuan, but actually they were acting for me. Are you tired?"

Shit, you're so tired.

You two should wait until you are tired from watching jokes.

Because in fact, this Qi Jingchun, isn't he cooperating with his senior brother Cui Chan to act for the future "nephew Cui Dongshan"?

The key is that the two senior brothers have no verbal communication, and they don't even need to meet.

It's just a tacit understanding.

The two sides rely on their chess skills, and it seems that they are tit for tat at every turn, and their moves are all true, but in fact, they end up playing the same game on the chessboard.

Cui Dongshan's youthful nature is not Cui Dongshan's pretense, it is naturally the result of that old bastard Cui Han's deliberate behavior.

This is only the first level. There is still a second level. Cui Han has set up many restrictions and barriers for himself. It's like it's all him. Why should you, an old bastard, be richer, even more knowledgeable and powerful? Stronger?

Then there were three words: "tired or not" back then.

Perhaps it was Qi Jingchun's unique words of comfort to his senior brother Xiu Hu?

And in that conversation, Qi Jingchun looked sad at the end, and with those three words softly, it seemed to end the conversation.

"Senior Brother Cui."

The lineage of Literary Saints, at that time was still a weird reunion between the senior brother and the junior brother.

Junior brother Qi Jingchun started with the words "Are you tired?" and ended with "Senior Brother Cui".

At this moment, Cui Dongshan put away his thoughts and raised his two snow-white sleeves again. On each of the big sleeves of his robe, there was a string of small regular script, which undulated like waterweeds and floating duckweeds.

"The sun and moon are caged birds, and the universe is floating on the water."

Cui Dongshan turned to look at his husband.

Chen Pingan opened his eyes, looked gentle, and said with a smile: "Sir and student, you and I should be in a state of mind that is like spring all year round."
