Chapter 1051: Borrowing Thousands of Mountains and Rivers From the Lords (8)

Chen Pingan originally planned to go straight to Lingyuan Gongshui Mansion, but he changed his mind temporarily and planned to go elsewhere. With his thoughts in mind, he ignored the distance between mountains and rivers, put on a green shirt and stood under a sycamore tree in the capital of Dayuan Dynasty. Looking up and looking into the distance, Chen Ping'an took another step and came to a palace with only black and white, as if he were a borderless person, as if he was in a land where there is no one.

This Dayuan Dynasty was founded by Shui De. Last time Chen Ping'an met with Emperor Lu at the Yunxiao Palace in Chongxuan Department to discuss business. At that time, the emperor only had a young prince named Lu Jun with him. Now he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In addition to giving Prince Lu Jun a copybook written by Mr. Chen Ping'an, he also gave the boy a handwritten copy of the boxing manual, which was the Shanshanquan Boxing written by Gu You, a martial artist at the end of the Great Seal Script Dynasty.

As for Lu Jun's cultivation and martial arts qualifications, they were actually very average. Chen Ping'an was also honest and told the truth at the beginning, and did not use polite words to deal with it.

In the end, something went wrong and both parties became anonymous masters and apprentices.

It was still dark, and there was still some time before the morning court. Emperor Lu Yang woke up early and found it difficult to fall asleep. He simply asked the eunuch to light a lamp and sat cross-legged on the kang of a small warm room. He was reviewing memorials, rubbing his eyebrows, and laying out the warm room. With Earth Dragon, even in the middle of winter, it will be as warm as spring. However, occasionally His Majesty the Emperor will give orders to stop burning charcoal in the palace, saying that it will strengthen the body by freezing the bones and strengthening the bones. On the other hand, the princes of the Lu family studying in the south veranda of Wenying Palace would only be given a hand stove unless they encountered the bone-chilling cold weather that only happened once in decades. Otherwise, they would have to read loudly while quietly stamping their feet. I was trembling, but I couldn't move in and out. I was just studying. It doesn't count as hard, just not easy.

Unknowingly, he felt sleepy. In his daze, Lu Yang vaguely heard a knock on the door and said subconsciously: "Come in."

Outside the threshold of Nuan Pavilion, a man wearing a green shirt said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I took the liberty of coming here to see Haihan."

Lu Yang opened his eyes and looked at the green shirt outside the door. He was absent-minded for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He got off the heated bed, stepped on his boots casually, and walked quickly towards the door without even putting on his boots. He laughed heartily and said, "It turns out that it's Mr. Chen who's here. I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you."

Chen Ping'an stood there, clasping his hands and clasping his fists, and said apologetically: "The incident happened unexpectedly, and there is no way to notify the access control. I promise it will only be this once."

"Odd people have their own strange things. Mr. Chen is a man of enlightenment, so why bother with these red tapes."

Lu Yang reached out and grabbed Qingshan Ke's arm and said with a smile: "I hope Mr. Chen can come here as a guest often. Come on, let's go sit down in the house and chat."

After Chen Ping'an crossed the threshold, Lu Yang let go of his hand, and the two of them sat on the side of the heated kang. Lu Yang just spread the memorials on the table without any taboos.

Lu Yang listened to Chen Pingan's concise explanation and learned the truth. He was extremely surprised and couldn't help but sigh: "It's unbelievable, so strange."

The Lu emperor, who was famous for his talents and strategies throughout the continent, said without hesitation: "In fact, Mr. Chen does not need to come to the capital at all. An extra trip will easily delay the business."

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "No matter how high-ranking the Chongxuan Office is, it is still one of the agencies under the jurisdiction of the Dayuan Dynasty after all. No matter how virtuous and respected Yang Tianjun of Yunxiao Palace is, and no matter how selfless the Yang family's children, they are still subjects of the Dayuan Dynasty."

Lu Yang laughed heartily, without even looking at the door from beginning to end.

Nice words? Nice words of course.

Just nice words? more than.

This in itself is a clear statement of the young hermit official's view of the relationship between the Dayuan royal family and the Chongxuan Department.

The gods on the mountain and the emperors below the mountain are like one in charge of the sky and the other in charge of the earth. The relationship between the two parties is complicated. They share weal and woe in both glory and glory, but there is also some tacit discord. They may appear to be in harmony with each other, but may even plot against each other, run counter to each other, and treat each other as beings. Qiu Kou.

Jun'er of my family is so lucky and has good luck, so I did not recognize this boxing master in vain. Mr. Chen, who has a high status, always has his elbows turned inward.

They are also hidden officials of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Whether they have inscriptions or not, there is a huge difference.

The last time the two sides met at Yunxiao Palace to discuss matters, Chen Pingan had not yet traveled far into the wild world, and there was no inscription on the city head.

Lu Yang smiled and asked: "While there is still half an hour before the court meeting, can I go to the Chongxuan Department of Yunxiao Palace with my husband?"

There was no temptation, nor was it that he couldn't trust the other party. Lu Yang was just a monarch of a country and a noble person, but he was still a little fascinated by the kind of flying in the clouds and mist.

Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "I'm sorry."

When the young Yin official finished his words, Lu Yang soon became a little disappointed, because he seemed to have moved to a place just in the blink of an eye. It was the place where they met last time. He was not the kind of fairy who could fly in the clouds and ride the wind. , has nothing to do with the expected feeling of calmness.

Chen Ping'an and Lu Yang stood side by side, and soon an old master appeared at the Chongxuan Department. It was Yang Qingjin, the national master. The old master held a white jade pole with the tail engraved with the word "Wind God".

Practice makes perfect for Chen Ping'an. When he apologized to the Taoist Heavenly Lord, Yang Qingxin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I will just treat it as a fugue."

Yang Qing was afraid of having a fight with His Majesty the Emperor, "I have met Your Majesty."

Lu Yang put his hands behind his back, nodded to the Imperial Master, and said with a smile: "I am just joining in the fun, the Imperial Master just pretends that I don't exist."

If the Chongxuan Office is an official institution set up by the Dayuan court, then the Yunxiao Palace, like the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, is a jungle of descendants. Although the Dayuan court set up a Taoist government office here, it was actually just a decoration. Anyway, the Taoist officials, big and small, were either surnamed Yang, or were granted ultimatums in Yunxiao Palace.

Although the Taoist of Yunxiao Palace is not a water god, Yang Guoshi has both Taoism and water luck, not to mention that Dadu Shangshui Shuizheng, who was not able to become a prince, is nearby. The temple of Situ Jidan is nearby.

The three of them each sat down on the stone bench under the tree, which was actually the same position as last time. After hearing about Chen Ping'an's deal, Yang Qing smiled casually and said: "Just because of the merit of this gift, if Pindao is in his heart If there is even the slightest grudge, it means you have not practiced enough and your heart is not strong enough.”

Chen Ping'an was determined that this trip was worthwhile.

But he couldn't just slap his ass and leave as soon as the deal was concluded, so he took the initiative to chat with Lao Tianjun about the current situation of brothers Yang Ningzhen and Yang Ningxing in Colorful World. However, he did not mention the meeting between him and "Brother Mumo". He only said that he heard the rumors at the summer palace in Ascension City. Yang Qingwen first heard that the two brothers had broken through the realm one after another, and the other had become friends with Yuan Qingshu who was in the corner of the cave that day. The old Tianjun always looked as usual, but waited until the young Yinguan seemed to casually say something about Qingming Tianxia Qingshu. In the Divine Dynasty, regarding the matter with the elegant Prime Minister Yao Qing, Yang Qingxue glanced at the Sword Immortal in Blue Shirt, smiled slightly, and nodded lightly.

Yang Qingyin said suddenly: "I have admired Mr. Chen for a long time. Do you want to take this opportunity to meet and talk to me today?"

Chen Ping'an just regarded it as a casual remark from the old man and nodded: "Of course."

Yang Qing smiled fearfully, and with a slight flick of the tail, a young-looking Taoist priest appeared, seemingly being detained here.

After this person appeared here, he looked around, with a Taoist heart that was still intact, and he quickly called the Taoist priest to the three of them, "I pay homage to your majesty. I have met the ancestor, Yin Guan."

Yang Houjue, in the Yupu realm, had a Taoist name of "Tuan Ni".

In Luzhou, Beiju, and even in the entire Haoran world, he is regarded as an extremely young monk in the upper five realms. Although the person holding the two titles of National Master and Tianjun is still Yang Qingjin, in fact, no matter whether it is the Dayuan court The Chongxuan Department of the Yang family and the Yunxiao Palace of the Yang family, both court affairs and housework were handled by Yang Houjue. In addition, Yang Houjue was not only the elder of the brothers, but also half of their evangelist.

Previously, Chen Ping'an helped Caique Mansion find three guest ministers, all of whom had great backgrounds.

In addition to Yuan Lingdian, who refers to Xuanfeng at Padi Peak, and Yuanying Sword Xiu Rongchang, who is Li Cai's disciple, the third person is Yang Houjue, the person in charge of Chongxuan Department.

Later, I heard that Chen Ping'an was the candidate personally recommended by Emperor Lu, and Yang Houjue agreed without hesitation.

This is actually an unusual thing.

Except for Yang Houjue, who was still standing for the time being, the three people present were all sophisticated.

It was just an extremely subtle pause between the young hidden official and the old imperial master.

Emperor Lu immediately understood the key points.

It should be that Chen Pingan needs a little buffer time to determine whether God can call Yang Houjue in person and whether he needs to do it for him.

And Yang Qing probably took advantage of the situation and used his superb immortal power to directly "move" Yang Houjue from outside the world to Chen Ping'an's dream world.

After Yang Houjue sat down, he happened to be sitting opposite Chen Ping'an. He looked sincere and said with a smile: "I happened to have something to do last time and missed it. In fact, I have wanted to see Yin Guan for many years. Today I got my wish. I'm very lucky."

Yang Qingjin briefly explained the reason to this junior member of the family who had high hopes for him. Yang Houjue nodded lightly, and then Lao Tianjun smiled and joked: "Actually, there are two distinguished guests in the Chongxuan Department at the moment. They are similar to Houjue. They are very interested in Mr. Chen." I am also fascinated by it. I wonder if Mr. Chen has ever heard of Gao Xianting?"

Chen Ping'an looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Grandmaster Gao's name is like thunder. Moreover, although Chief Gao's Qunyu Mountain is not a swordsmanship sect, it has been a frequent visitor to the Sword Qi Great Wall for the past thousand years."

From the perspective of Beiju Luzhou, after Gu You's death, there are now only three Zijing warriors left in Beiju Luzhou. The unscrupulous old man Wang went to Sui, and after re-entering the mountain, he made many military exploits and recovered. Now that I am free, I no longer have to go to Tianjun Xie Shi’s place every year to “do the rounds” on time.

And Li Er, the guest of Lion Peak, is a great master who appears suddenly. In addition, there is Gao Xianting, who is in his early 100s. When he was traveling to the Far Realm, Gao Xianting served as the chief worshiper of a northern sect, Qunyu Mountain, as a pure martial artist. Facts have proved that the ancestor of Qunyu Mountain has an excellent vision. As a young martial artist, he did not break through the realm too quickly, but his path to the top was very steady. He eventually became a martial artist who has reached the end of the realm, and is expected to reach the first level of return to the true realm. Gao Xianting's wife, a Taoist monk on the mountain, is a female swordsman who has been in the Yupu realm for a few years. Her name is Zheng Yunzhi, and her Taoist name is Qingluo. In the end, Gao Xianting became the chief worshiper and then became the Qun Yushan. son-in-law.

Xiao Shu, the contemporary sect master of Qunyu Mountain, is Zheng Yunzhi's senior brother. He is a monk in the Immortal Realm. Although he is not a swordsman, he leads a group of more than 30 people from the sect. At that time, he and Taihui Sword Sect Han Huaizi traveled south across the continent and rushed to The Great Wall of Sword Qi. Because he shot too hard and went too far out of the city, he was seriously injured and almost fell. Without exception, those groups of people in Yushan were all monks directly descended from the Patriarch Hall, and they suffered heavy casualties.

However, it is rumored that the relationship between Zheng Yuanzhi and Li Cai is not harmonious, just because there is a culprit named Jiang who once offended Zheng Yuanzhi miserably.

And this famous Jiang thief in Luzhou, Beiju, now happens to be the chief minister of his Luolu Mountain, which is a mess.

After chatting for a while, Yang Houjue suddenly stood up, took three steps back, and greeted Chen Ping'an again, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for helping Pindao end a fate in the world of mortals back then in Ghost Valley." My long-cherished wish is that Yang Houjue in this life will be an old friend of the Longshan Kingdom in the past. For myself and for her, I sincerely thank Mr. Chen."

Not only was Lu Yang confused, but even Chen Ping'an himself was confused at first. It was only when he heard Yang Houjue calling himself "an old man of Longshan Kingdom" that he suddenly realized it.

After standing up and hesitating for a moment, Chen Ping'an still kept his temper and turned back to Yang Houjue, a Taoist priest, and said softly: "Duckweed gathers, we will meet again if we are destined."

Lao Tianjun sighed softly, but there was still a more relaxed look between his brows.

It turns out that Chen Pingan and that good brother once traveled together to a secret cave. There were two bones inside. One was a female monk from Fengming Peak of Dezong of Qing Dynasty, and the other was the monarch of Longshan Kingdom. In his early years, he was also a monk of Qingde. Zong Na was one of the Taoist embryos who "opened up the golden door with the sound of a drum, and thirty immortal materials grew green", but later the national crisis hit him, and he had to give up halfway, give up his practice, go down the mountain again, and inherit the throne.

In this way, it was a matter of course for Yang Houjue to be willing to serve as the guest minister of Xiao Caique Mansion.

It's no wonder that the good brother went to the summer residence of the empress in Peoluo Mountain, and that he "happened" to find the secret tunnel.

After sending Emperor Lu back to the Imperial Study Room in the capital, Chen Ping'an went to the Swinging River Temple and met the He Bo named Xue Yuansheng again.

When Chen Ping'an visited Luzhou in Beiju for the first time, after he left the Mural City, it was He Bo, who liked to be the punter, who gave him a ride.

Xue Yuansheng is still the same, a dark-skinned old man, like an old farmer, facing the loess and back to the sky every year.

But at that time, Chen Ping'an was dressed in a bamboo hat and a wine flask, and crossed the river by boat.

After confirming Chen Ping'an's identity, Old Hebo was amazed and shook his head: "I can't believe that my small ancestral temple has even accepted incense from a hidden official."

At that time, Xue Yuansheng mistakenly thought that he had met a fool who was not familiar with the world.

He actually allowed such a great blessing to slip through his fingers, and finally missed the chance to be recognized by a goddess riding a deer in a mural city.

Xue Yuansheng and the green-robed Sword Immortal walked out of the temple and walked to the river together. It was hard to imagine that this old man, who was as golden as the God of Jiangshui, was still a prostituted Hebo who had not been crowned by the imperial court. .

Xue Yuansheng pointed to a place by the river and said with a smile: "That little girl named Pei broke through here, and the weather was so scary. Well, it has only been a few years, and now she has to call her Grandmaster Pei. .”

After the battle at Guanli Zhengyang Mountain in Luolu Mountain, this incident became a big topic of discussion between Xue Yuansheng and his old friends at the wine table.

I once stood still by the river and received the realm-breaking punch from Grandmaster Pei.

The two parties have become acquainted without fighting. I helped her cross the river in a boat, and we got along well with each other.

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.

Pei Qian's opportunity to break through the situation at that time was due to the battle between the truth in her heart and the truth in the world.

Chen Ping'an once asked Li Huai in detail about the big and small things that happened during his trip with Pei Qian.

When a little girl grows up, becomes a girl, and then becomes a young woman, she should hide her worries.

Even Chen Ping'an, who is the master, can't ask too many questions.

Xue Yuansheng habitually squatted down, rubbed the soil, and said with a smile: "What were you thinking back then? Others couldn't get good luck, but you couldn't avoid it. At first, I mistakenly thought that you were a wooden person who didn't understand the style, or... A fool who can't figure it out, otherwise it really doesn't make sense. Now think about it, how could a person who can become a swordsman and a hidden official be stupid? Then he must have been pretending to be stupid back then. "

Chen Pingan sat casually on the shore, nodded and said: "I was really pretending to be stupid at that time, but I was really afraid."

Xue Yuansheng smiled and said: "That goddess who rides a deer is very noble. She is the only person she despises. But then a foreigner appeared out of nowhere. She was already half angry with you back then. If she hears such a bastard If you say that, I will make you mad to death again."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Everyone has his own merits, there is no distinction between them."

Old Hebo couldn't help but sneered. It was strange. It seemed that the young swordsman next to him had passed by the mural city and saw the eight painted goddesses in the mural city: Spring Official, Baogai, Ganoderma, Changqing, Immortal Staff, and Riding Deer. , rain, hanging inkstone, all turned into white drawing patterns. Of course, the first five people have left the mural city long ago. They are alive and dead, and each has his own fate.

But can this Lord Yin Guan be regarded as a person who just sits on the sidelines and is the final official?

Chen Pingan took out the sword-raising gourd and took a sip of wine. This was so real that he could no longer drink fake wine.

There are only three remaining painted murals from that time. The Goddess Riding a Deer was heartbroken by a young stranger. However, due to fate, she turned to the leader of the Qingliang Sect, who was in harmony with her Taoism. He Xiaoliang. The Goddess of Rain, named Shu Shi, who is good at playing chess, made a contract with the young monk who was holding an ancient jade tablet and knelt down and kowtowed until his forehead bones were exposed. Then she would go to " "Li Liu" apologized.

As for the Goddess Guayan, she had already followed her master to Liuxia Continent. Before leaving the Skeleton Beach, she visited the Ghost Valley and pocketed the Jixiao Mountain Pocket Thunder Pond.

And the owner she identified was none other than the city lord of Appearance City on the night voyage, Shao Baojuan.

Every time Chen Ping'an thinks about this, he gets very angry. I only dug a few Jixiao Mountain Thunder Whips based on my ability. Why did I start a dispute with you? Could it be that your main road is just a field road? Even if it's just a field path, if you just turn sideways, you'll just pass each other and go your own way.

Xue Yuansheng asked curiously: "Is this in Master Yinguan's dream?"

Chen Pingan nodded.

Xue Yuansheng couldn't help but sigh: "Is this okay?! It's really a great accomplishment in Taoism. A good man will treat you with admiration after three days."

"It's just a trick."

"What you scholars say is watertight."

"It's only worth eight pieces of silver."

Xue Yuansheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Tell me what you want from me this time."

After getting Chen Ping'an's answer, Xue Yuansheng frowned and said, "What are you trying to do? Is it worth it?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Anyone can ask this kind of question, but Master Xue asked too much."

If it were worth it, Hebo Xue Yuansheng's current height would be at least 50% higher.

If this is the case, now that Dadu has been enthroned, Xue Yuansheng can fill the vacancy and become a desecrated temple, which is more than enough.

Xue Yuansheng raised his hands, rubbed his cheeks fiercely, nodded and said: "Then it's settled, it's just a stick of incense sincere, and I'll treat it like I'm paying homage to the one in my heart who doesn't deserve it."

Both parties were very cheerful when talking about business, but in fact it was just a matter of a few words.

Instead, they started talking about Pei Qian, and the conversation started immediately. One of them was willing to talk more, and the other liked to hear this and couldn't bear to leave.

Xue Yuansheng said that no matter what, he could not connect the money-obsessed girl back then with the later "Zheng Saqian" and "Pei Qian".

It only says that the girl brought out a set of tools, weighed the silver with the basket, and then carefully cut out eight coins from the broken silver with small scissors. In addition to the small basket with green bamboo poles, there were also a lot of weights, among which Two of them were engraved with the words "never lose money" and "only make money"... No wonder she would later change her name to Zheng Qian and travel around the world...

After apologizing to Xue Yuansheng, she would be extremely upset and say that she was as good as a hammer in boxing.

At that time, there was a young scholar wearing a Confucian shirt. He was very nice, but to be honest, at first glance, it seemed that he was not particularly good at reading.

Regarding Xue Yuansheng's evaluation of Li Huai, Chen Ping'an could only be speechless.

Chen Pingan put away the sword gourd in his sleeve and asked: "Is Xue Hebo willing to be the river god canonized by the imperial court?"

If Xue Yuansheng agrees to this, soon a minister of the Ministry of Rites of the country will come here holding a golden edict from the emperor to abbot the imperial canonization ceremony, and at the same time, a deputy mountain chief of Yufu Academy will also be present. .

This is also the reason why Chen Ping'an changed his route before. He needed the help of Dayuan Emperor Lu Yang and Chongxuan Department to help bridge the gap.

The imperial court canonizing the gods of mountains and rivers consumes a country's luck, and Xue Yuansheng is famous for not caring about incense, so that everyone respects the Swaying River Bodhisattva, but all the imperial courts where big rivers flow through do not If you dare to take the initiative to find Xue Yuansheng, you are afraid that you will not be able to make ends meet, which will affect the fortune of the country.

It's just that Chen Ping'an has his own means to smooth out this debt, and he will definitely not treat the court badly afterwards.

Xue Yuansheng looked strange and said with a smile: "If you insist on pushing this temple of obscenity to this position, Master Chen, what do you want? You are planning to find me to do business in partnership, similar to that of Pima Sect and Chunlu Pu." ? I hope that I, the new river god, will take care of the river transportation, and then we can make money and share the accounts together. You will have a lot of money, and I will have a prosperous life?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Uncle Xue He thinks too much."

Xue Yuansheng joked: "Why, are you still asking me not to do it?"

Chen Pingan held back his laughter, "Then I beg you."

Xue Yuansheng asked doubtfully: "A majestic swordsman, the master of a sect, is face so worthless?"

Chen Ping'an replied: "Although it is not too valuable, it is worth some money, but Mr. Xue can't afford it."

Xue Yuansheng shook his head, still insisting on his opinion, "If I were the god of rivers, I would have become the god of rivers a long time ago. I am not happy with it. There are too many restrictions. It is better to be free now."

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This is true. Zhu Quan, the previous head of Pima Sect, was a very forthright mountain mother-in-law. She came to see me twice and said the same thing. Old Xue, you don’t mind being a little He Bo. Poor? Give me the right word, and I will help you run it, and keep knocking on the door one by one. In the future, seven or eight temples will rise along the banks of the swaying river. Even if I have no sign in Zhuquan, what about it?

But Xue Yuansheng didn't even nod.

Xue Yuansheng turned his head and said: "Please give Chen Shanzhu some accurate words. Otherwise, even if I reject this matter today, I will have to worry about it in the future."

Whether sword cultivators in the world can talk about it or not, the ancestral halls on Luzhou Mountain in Beiju know best.

Chen Ping'an waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xue Hebo, don't think too much. If you don't agree, forget it. I just made it up on the spur of the moment and said it casually."

Xue Yuansheng said angrily: "I believe in you. Show some sincerity!"

Chen Pingan thought for a while and gave the answer he had in mind, "Although I am not very old, I have traveled to many places in my life, and I have not met many old people."

Xue Yuansheng sighed, "With your words, it will be done. It will be much more comfortable than being the high-ranking god of Jianghe."

Chen Ping'an said from the bottom of his heart: "Xue Hebo, if you have always been the prostitute Hebo, you may miss a big opportunity."

Xue Yuansheng reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, I appreciate your kindness. Keep going, it's important to be on your way."

Chen Pingan nodded.

Xue Yuansheng stood up and asked with a smile: "It's not easy after all these years, right?"

"To put it into perspective, it's actually simple. It's nothing more than..."

Chen Ping'an paused briefly and said slowly: "People do things, and things teach others."

Xue Yuansheng nodded and said: "It seems that breaking the sky is the ultimate truth."

Chen Pingan smiled brightly and said goodbye with clasped fists.

Xue Yuansheng silently clasped his fists.

It was not until today that Old Hebo realized that the Great Wall of Sword Qi and the Last Hidden Official had achieved mutual success and lived up to each other's expectations.

————

Jidu Lingyuan Palace.

At dawn, a group of Yingying Yanyan, who did not need to go to the official hall for the time being, gathered together to chat in a Chaoshou veranda. Because it did not belong to the "official road" of Shuifu, no outsiders were destined to pass by this place, so they There is no need to pay too much attention to etiquette. Their identities are mostly female officials of the Water Mansion Traceability Department and the Boundary Demarcation Department. The former is responsible for determining the origins of large and small water veins, as well as protecting the sources of these water veins from ordinary people. The latter's status and responsibilities are similar to those of the Qintian Prison. They draw clear boundaries and are responsible for regularly inspecting the boundaries of all rivers, lakes and streams, and guarding the boundary monuments. Both are veritable Qingshui Yamen, with little authority, no oil and water, and few ordinary things. .

These women are either narcissus or female ghosts from the old Nanxun Water Palace, or young monks who have just entered the water palace. Most of them are still childish and have lively personalities, and have not yet been completely polished off. They gather together, chattering, and it is very lively. . If you are close to the houses of important government offices such as the Audit Department and the Rewards and Punishment Department, you will never see this beautiful scenery.

A girl who came from a wealthy family in the Great Seal Script Dynasty couldn't help but ask: "According to Master Xu's interpretation of the word, the word "du" is interpreted as "小gul", so it is just a small ditch. What's going on?"

A female official from Nanxunshui Palace nodded and said with a smile: "The literary saint also has a chapter on self-cultivation. There is a sentence in it, 'If you hate its source, open up its blasphemy, the river can be drained.' It is obvious that in our literary saint, It seems that this "blasphemy" is smaller than the river, which verifies Master Xu's statement. As for how this "blasphemy" evolved into a major blasphemy, I used to work in the archives office of Jiushui Palace and read a lot of official books and unofficial histories. There seems to have never been a written record.”

Another Taoist monk who was born in the market timidly asked: "How come he is 'our' literary sage?"

Of course she knew about the old master who restored his position in the Confucian Temple, but wasn't the Confucian Master a Chinese surname?

The waters of Jidu are divided into two and are still vast. There are nearly eighty dynasties and small vassal states under the jurisdiction of Lingyuan Palace. For example, the Great Zhuan Dynasty near the entrance of Jidu issued a decree a few years ago. , together with the Dazhuan Zhou clan itself, and a dozen vassal states, they "offered" nearly fifty monks to Shuifu in one go. In addition, there were some additional support from the officialdom, and they were able to enter Shuifu to practice through the back door. , in fact, it is the gilding method of some wealthy and powerful children, which is equivalent to getting the genealogical status of Dadu Water Mansion for free. Regardless of whether these men and women succeed in cultivating Taoism within ten years, whether they stay on the spot or are eventually deported back to their hometowns, It all counts as having a future.

Just like this moment, a girl sitting on the railing at the edge of the corridor was studying a paper horse carrying water talisman. It was a hand-painted golden talisman. The paper was made of gold foil and had a picture of a god general wearing armor and riding a horse. The pattern is similar to the speeding method and shrinking method of the gods on the mountain, but it uses the secret method of Shuifu, taking the path of gods and incense. Because there is an extra process of sacrificial burning, the talisman is truly completed, so ordinary talisman monks cannot draw talismans. Yes, this talisman has the reputation of "paper money, armor, horse, fruit, and mysteries, thousands of miles away".

When you practice cultivation, you will not realize that spring is coming, and every inch of time is worth an inch of gold.

"You don't even know this?"

The female officer who once worked in the Archives Office of Xunshui Palace in the Old South let out a laugh, "Back then, we, the sword cultivators of Luzhou in Beiju, traveled together in great force across the sea, and landed at Aai'aizhou to fight against the monks from Yizhou. , it was Mr. Wen Sheng's kind words that prevented the fight from happening, but our trip was not in vain. After that, Aai Aizhou lost the word "北". This is something recognized by the Confucian Temple. For thousands of years, Haoran Jiuzhou, changing the name, just this once, can it be a small matter?"

Speaking of this, the female officer was full of energy, "So, Wen Shengming is obviously more towards us, and he is half of Beiju Luzhou's own family."

"Besides, that direct disciple of Wen Sheng, Mr. Zuo Zuo, the Great Sword Immortal Zuo, has the best swordsmanship in the world. Pei Min has to step aside for any swordsmanship. When the Great Sword Immortal Zuo went on a long trip to the sea, he once came to us. Here, Ji Yue, the Sword Immortal of Yuanwei Mountain, took swords to the coast one after another. They all had learned Mr. Zuo's swordsmanship. Of course they lost, but even though they lost, it was still an honor. Think about it, ordinary swordsmanship is so good. Not enough, the realm is not enough, even if I happily go to Zuo Dajianxian to ask about the sword, they will be willing to take care of it, but if you want me to see it, let alone raise your hand, you won’t even raise your eyelids, right?"

"Even if we don't talk about these old almanacs, we will just say that things have been better in the past few years. On the other side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the young hidden official who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, the Taihui Sword Sect, and Duckweed Sword Lake , who doesn’t know what the relationship is? Chen Li and Gao Youqing of Duckweed Sword Lake are not the two sword immortal embryos that young Yin Guan personally handed over to Lord Lihu? Then Chen Li, there is also a Xiao Yin Guan As for the title, I heard from Grandma Liu that Chen Li claims to be a hundred-year-old swordsman on the "Nothing" card. Ha, bragging? Wrong, he is self-effacing. He has reached the upper five realms within a few years. It's possible."

The girl from the wealthy family at the foot of the mountain pecked at the rice and said: "I know, I heard my grandfather said before coming to Shuifu Mansion that the young hermit official and the Master Liu of the Taihui Sword Sect were the best drinking buddies. No matter how much you drink at the wine table, you can’t beat Sect Master Liu. So, our swordsmanship in Luzhou, Beiju, will definitely lose to that of Jianqi Great Wall, but we can’t compare at the wine table. It’s true. Not afraid of their local sword cultivators at all, Huang Lao Zhanglu of the Taihui Sword Sect said that when he left the Great Wall of Sword Qi, he drank the old swordsman named Dong Sangen who was seeing off guests at the wine shop. Vomited."

She seemed to remember something and said in a low voice: "There seems to be a rumor that Marquis Longting said that he and the Yinguan master are brothers who cut off chicken heads and burned yellow paper. Is it true or false?"

If it is true, it is really powerful. Although he is a Dadu Marquis and is slightly inferior to his own Lingyuan Gong, in this matter, it seems that the Marquis Mansion can win back a victory?

The female official who was an old official of Nanxunshui Palace said angrily: "You're just bragging, whoever takes it seriously is a fool. Outsiders may not know the virtues of Marquis Longting, but we old neighbors of Longgong Cave..."

A nun who happened to be passing by the corridor heard these words from a distance. She immediately stepped forward and scolded her sternly: "You are so impudent! You are a child with a yellow mouth and you are not ashamed to speak loudly."

This Aunt Liu is now in charge of the Etiquette Department of the Sixteenth Department of Shuifu. She was once an official at the site of the Great River Dragon Palace in Luzhou, Beiju. She is an old woman who pays great attention to etiquette. She slowly walks up to these girls. In front of the film, he said angrily: "You dare to talk nonsense and stir up trouble. There are no rules at all. If this is spread to outsiders, they will mistakenly think that our government has no laws. You guys, as long as you speak, you will I recorded it once in Bo Lusi's office, and if he makes similar remarks again, he will be expelled from the mansion on the spot as soon as he is discovered!"

The old woman stared at the chicks like a hawk. Not only the old water palace official, but also all the other women were frightened into silence and turned pale.

The stern old woman was really angry, but she really wasn't deliberately making a fuss out of a molehill to show off her power over a group of girls. Now that she was in her position, it was unnecessary. It's just that this kind of nonsense, no matter how big or small, but if it really reaches the ears of the Longtinghou Mansion, if you are not careful, it will be a disaster. It was inevitable that there would be a gap between the master and the Marquis of Longting, who had a harmonious relationship with each other.

Even if Lord Longting has a strong temper and doesn't take it seriously when he hears it, he is afraid that the officials of the Hou Mansion are stubborn and have the ancient spirit of humiliating their ministers to death. There are many mountains and rivers bordering the two mansions, so it is easy to There were constant disputes. In the countryside and fields, armed fights often broke out just because of grabbing water, let alone the two mansions of Dadu Gonghou.

What's more, you little girls who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, do you really think that Li Yuan, who didn't even pay attention to the Shuilong Sect when Shui Zheng was in power, is easy to get along with?

Let’s just talk about the Leishen Mansion on Baby Mountain in the far west of Dadu. Even two words were deducted from the plaque at the entrance of the mountain. Why was it finally released with pinched noses? If Li Yuan hadn't spoken, if he dared not to let people go, he, the Marquis of Longting, would flood the Thunder God's house! Why did Shuizheng, who had only been the Marquis of Longting for a few days, dare not take his official position and the rules of the Confucian Temple seriously? Is he, Marquis Longting, a fool?

It's a pity that Mr. Longtinghou is not present, otherwise I would have to reply, "You are wrong. I really only rely on my passion and loyalty."

This is called stabbing someone for the sake of a friend. First stab yourself, then ask the other person if they are afraid. If the other person is not afraid, then stab the other person again. In this cycle, it depends on who is more ruthless and can withstand it better.

There is a woman in palace attire, who looks like an imperial concubine, is graceful and beautiful, and is extremely beautiful.

The spirit is clear and the bones are beautiful, just like a distant mountain hibiscus.

The woman is none other than Shen Lin, the former owner of the Nanxun Water Palace and now the Duke of Dadu Lingyuan. She is followed by two goddesses of the Water Palace. They are the leaders of the Inspection Department and the Qing Gong. One has a high position and the other is in charge... ...receiving gifts.

Shen Lin smiled softly and said, "I won't do it next time. This time, there will be no need to record it with the Bookkeeping Department."

The old woman immediately prayed to Duke Lingyuan for blessings, and Duke Lingyuan even spoke of Chrysostom. It was a great blessing for those little girls.

The female officials and subordinates saluted Shen Lin one after another.

Shen Lin asked them all to stand up, then touched the heads of the girls who were chatting most enthusiastically, with a gentle look on his face, and said with a soft smile: "In the future, you should be more careful when speaking outside. Liu Lizhi has good intentions but also acts according to the rules. . But it’s not a big problem if you go back to your own place and whisper something behind closed doors. You don’t have to be too formal. Well, be especially careful and don’t let you ‘old-fashioned’ people listen to you. Then everything will be fine.”

Of course, the old woman was given such an unpleasant nickname by the officials of Shui Mansion, but she didn't care much about it. When she heard Duke Lingyuan's teasing, the old woman couldn't help laughing.

Shen Lin smiled and said: "It's still early, so you can continue chatting. It's always good to praise others more and less to hurt others."

Then he turned to the old woman and said, "Liu Lizhi, I want to talk to you about something by the way."

After walking out of the corridor, the old lady asked: "Master, are you still worried about the name of the dojo?"

Shen Lin nodded and said, "It's not a problem to keep putting it off. Marquis Longting has already thought of a name. After reporting it to the Confucian Temple, it seems that it has been approved."

For example, in Aopingzhou in the south, there is Changchun Hou Yanghua in Dadu. There are two plaques hanging on a mansion, Changchun Hou Mansion and Bixiao Palace.

One is the official gate of the Confucian Temple, and the other is the temple of the gods.

Qidu Linlihou, Laojiao was born in Fengshui Cave, and his old priesthood was that of Qiantang Chief. After being granted the title of Marquis, a plaque was already hung on Yunwen Palace.

They were written by two mountain masters from Linlu Academy and Guanhu Academy.

Only the Lingyuan Gongshui Mansion has never been revealed. Shen Lin was lucky at first and wanted to see that existence to see if he could ask for a name. However, at the beginning of the construction of the mansion, Shen Lin quietly flew The sword sent a message to Lion Peak, and then it was like a mud cow sinking into the sea, and there was no more. It was obvious that the other party was not willing to pay attention to him at all, and Shen Lin no longer dared to disturb the other party's cultivation.

Another way is to be like the Marquis of Changchun and the Marquis of Linli and ask for a name from the headmaster of the academy in this continent. If you have personal friendships and connections in the Chinese Confucian Temple, please use those who offer wine and ministers in the academy. Of course it is better, but not to mention the Confucian Temple, even the chief and deputy heads of Beiju Luzhou Yufu Academy can't be said to have any incestuous feelings. After all, helping with the name is not a simple matter of giving two words.

Think of one yourself?

Shen Lin really didn't think he was any better than Li Yuan in terms of naming.

Shen Lin rubbed his eyebrows. He really had a headache. The matter was not small and urgent. How could he not worry about it? He couldn't help but sigh, "Liu Lizhi, you and Deputy Director Zhao of Yufu Academy are fairly acquainted. Find an opportunity to pay him a visit and see if you can invite him to visit the Water Mansion. There is no need to mention the name."

The embarrassing thing about this kind of thing is that the other party agreed, helped to pick a name seriously, and took out a calligraphy painting. If he was unhappy and felt that the name did not match the Shuifu Avenue, wouldn't it be a slap on the other party? Face?

The old woman nodded and said: "I know the pros and cons. Master, please be a little relieved. I believe that with the Feng Shui of our water house, the boat will naturally straighten up to the bridge."

Shen Lin forced a smile and said, "I hope so."

The old woman set off immediately, holding the Shuifu token in hand, to visit Deputy Mountain Chief Zhao at Yufu Academy.

Shen Lin walked into the boundaries of the Old Nanxunshui Palace. Most of the yamen, large and small, were filled with goddesses, but there were also men, but the number was relatively small.

Some of the diligent officials of the Shui Palace had already sat down in their respective public rooms and started to deal with the matters at hand before the official office was even called.

Shen Lin returned to his study and hung a study plaque with a gold-lettered list, which has a long history.

Shen Lin said: "Pass this message, and within one month, we will thank guests behind closed doors. As for the Spring Festival Ceremony of the Zhou family in big seal script, please decline it for me. I'll just let Bo Lu Si Cuiwan write the letter. You can do it later." Send her my official seal. If it’s not important, don’t disturb her.”

Standing outside the study room, a personal goddess who also serves as the female official of the Seal and Seal Department of the Water Palace said with a respectful expression: "Accept the decree."

Shen Lin waved his sleeves, closed the door, made magic spells with both hands, and opened the layers of extremely hidden landscape restrictions. Then his figure dissipated, turning into a mysterious and mysterious picture, like a water painting.

The golden half of the Dadu main vein, the pale golden rivers, some relatively minor rivers are silvery white, and there are also the largest number of gray streams.

Shen Lin quietly came to the secret realm of Nanxun Hall, which is the location of Shen Lin's real Taoist temple. It is equivalent to the ancestral hall of the sect on the mountain. It is also where Shen Lin's golden body is kept. The real body of the Taoist temple is a refined green snail. It is made of a genuine snail shell and is used as a dojo. This "Dharma snail" comes from a large sect that has disappeared. It is one of the sacrificial ritual vessels. There is an extremely profound water magic formula engraved on the inner wall. If it weren't for this thing, Shen Lin I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the Supreme Being again.

The space of the dojo is not large, similar to the study room outside, but it is a manifestation of the Taoist "heart studio". It can be imagined that the old owner of this conch has an incredible level of Taoist attainments.

Inside the dojo, there was nothing except a golden urn made of purple material.

The talisman surrounded by purple energy is as big as a vertical landscape painting, hanging in the void, with a string of golden words shining brightly, which is the "room of justice and light".

Threads of incense are gathered here from large and small water mansions, rivers and temples. The essence of human incense is floating in the room like stars.

Shen Lin originally planned to take a break from her busy schedule and spend a month to refine her golden body. There were many affairs in the Shui Mansion, and she was not like Li Yuan who liked to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Shen Lin worked more meticulously and had to do everything personally, but Shen Lin did not do it because of his status. There is no slack in the changes. In the final analysis, gods like them use incense to temper their golden bodies and raise the height of their gods, which is where the root of the great path lies.

Shen Lin suddenly noticed that something was wrong. She immediately put her hand to the center of her eyebrows and closed her eyes subconsciously. It was like a pale golden eye opened in the center of her eyebrows. However, Shen Lin's tense heartstrings immediately relaxed a little, and she silently put away a stream of water. The law attacks magical powers.

Shen Lin smiled brightly. He was actually the uninvited guest who was so bold and impudent. He had a perfect manner, folded his crotch and said a blessing, and said softly: "Shen Lin, an old man from Nanxun Water Palace, has met Mr. Chen."

The guest in green shirt in front of me is the foreigner who was called "Mr. Chen" by "Li Liu" back then.

Shen Lin was indeed grateful to him and owed him a lot.

Looking back, if he had not met "Li Liu", then the Shuilong Sect would have supported Shuizheng Li Yuan, who shared the honor and disgrace, to occupy the two prestigious positions of Dadu Gonghou, and then he would have obtained Duckweed, Jianhu and Li Yuan. Cai Jianxiu's support, but with the background of the Dayuan Dynasty Chongxuan Office, in this kind of matter, they will definitely try their best to support Situ Jindang, who is in Shuizheng of Jidu Shangsi Temple, so he still has no chance of winning.

But if Mr. Chen hadn't visited the Dragon Palace Cave, Li Liu was destined not to return to the Dragon Palace Cave, one of the many summer palaces in the past, let alone help Shen Lin recover his golden body.

Therefore, it is absolutely true that this Mr. Chen is her benefactor, Shen Lin.

Chen Pingan bowed in return and said, "Coming here uninvited will offend you."

Shen Lin smiled and said: "It will only make the flowers shine."

Compared with Shuizheng Li Yuan, Shen Lin, who was nominally in charge of the wind and rain in the Dragon Palace Cave in those years, was actually water without a source in the Nanxun Water Palace, and Shen Lin's golden body was a tree without roots.

In the Yuan Dynasty of Dayuan, the Chongxuan Department of Yunxiao Palace set up checkpoints to intercept the Dadu Water Transport and the amount flowing into the Dragon Palace Cave was maintained at an extremely delicate water level, so that Shen Lin would not collapse due to the depletion of water transport. Although it is bad, it is difficult to use water transport to temper and stabilize the golden body and fill the gaps in the golden body. It is like waiting to die...waiting to die.

Therefore, Chen Pingan, who visited the Dragon Palace Cave for the first time, met Shen Lin for the first time. In addition, the Water Goddess had no intention of using a trick to hide her true appearance. Therefore, at that time, Chen Pingan's first impression was that his face was broken. Just like the glaze of celadon, there are countless tiny cracks, which are too horrible to look at. That is the point where the golden body is broken and about to collapse. It is not an exaggeration to say that its life is hanging by a thread.

Shuizheng Li Yuan served as the Longting Marquis of Dadu, which was a promotion and the icing on the cake.

But for the Water Goddess of Nanxun Water Palace, it was a life-saving help in times of need.

After many years of being dependent on others, she was like a frustrated little daughter-in-law who finally worked hard to become a mother-in-law.

Chen Ping'an didn't take a second look at the dojo and asked, "Can I change a place to discuss matters with Duke Lingyuan?"

Shen Lin smiled but said nothing.

Mr. Chen, have you forgotten that in your...dream, the host and guest have already exchanged identities? How can I, Shen Lin, lead the way?

Chen Ping'an smiled and explained: "Lingyuan Gong just needs to visualize a familiar scene."

Sure enough, Shen Lin started to think for a moment, and the two of them were in the study outside Fa Luo.

However, Shen Lin soon discovered something strange. The objects he remembered clearly were paintings, while the objects he had never paid attention to were black and white.

When Shen Lin's eyes touched those black and white objects, they turned into colorful paintings for an instant, seeming to add vitality to them all of a sudden.

Shen Lin didn't want to differentiate between host and guest, so he moved two chairs. Chen Ping'an gently pulled his green robe and long coat and sat upright.

Shen Lin said: "Mr. Chen, just call me by my first name."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then just call Mr. Lingyuan Mrs. Shen."

I heard that it was about the stick of incense. Of course Shen Lin knew about it. The most important thing is that as a person who offers incense, he must have the so-called sincerity and integrity, and he cannot fake it in the slightest.

Otherwise, this stick of fragrant incense is easy to ignite, but the inner fragrance that maintains the incense is destined to be unable to be ignited.

It's just that on Shen Lin's side, there is no problem. It is true that he hates the Tongyezhou monk, but since Mr. Chen's sect is all established in Tongyezhou, why is it difficult to be sincere?

Just think of it as a way to thank your benefactor from a distance.

As for the merit, Shen Lin declined it politely at first, but when he saw Mr. Chen persisted, he became angry and annoyed. Chen Pingan continued to reason, and Shen Lin became emotional with a sad expression. When Chen Pingan continued to formulate words, Shen Lin became angry. His eyes were red, with faint tears, and he asked, Mr. Chen, did you deliberately put me in an unkind and unjust place, or did Mr. Chen, from beginning to end, think that I, Shen Lin, was an ungrateful and unkind person? Chen Ping'an had no choice but to retract his words and apologize to Mrs. Shen. As a result, Shen Lin suddenly laughed and started to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb.

Chen Pingan took out a copy of the manuscript from his sleeve, handed it to Shen Lin, and explained: "It can barely be considered as a congratulatory gift to congratulate Mrs. Shen on becoming Lord Lingyuan, but I must have selfish motives."

Shen Lin found the booklet, opened a page, and was surprised: "Is it the golden rule of the water and land dojo?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "I met a Master Dedao in Tongyezhou before and asked for some knowledge. The Master was generous in giving me advice. Mrs. Shen can give it to Sect Leader Sun in the name of Lingyuan Water Mansion."

What Shen Lin calls the "golden rule" is the foundation of Taoist rituals. It is a veritable golden rule, and it is an "old rule" that cannot be bought with money from gods.

The rites of Taoist altar opening rituals are generally divided into yang rituals such as praying for blessings and warding off misfortunes, dispelling misfortunes, and honoring gods and giving thanks, and rites including recommending ancestors, prescriptions for saving the dead, and refining and giving food. Secret rituals. Among them, the original manuscript is the most precious. As the saying goes, it is true that things are explained according to the textbook. For example, the emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty who worshiped Buddhism in Tongyezhou worked hard on the original matter and tried to restore the old system.

Previously, Chen Ping'an was walking by the Chilin River with Liang Shuang, the Great Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. They were busy chatting. In addition to asking the old man about Longhu Mountain's unique rituals, he also talked about the Shuilong Sect's fasting ceremony. For one thing, on the tenth day of October and the fifteenth day of October every year, two sacrificial ceremonies following ancient rituals are held in the Dragon Palace Cave. According to different years, there are gold, jade, and yellow dojos.

That's why the old man couldn't help but joke, "You guys are just gathering wool here."

Shen Lin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Chen give this to Marquis Longting and ask him to help deliver it to Sun Jie or Shao Jingzhi?"

This is a huge favor.

The sect on the mountain attaches great importance to the benefits of this kind of trickle of water.

In terms of personal friendship, Mr. Chen is of course better with Li Yuan. Before today, how many words did Mr. Chen have with me in total? There are only a handful of them.

Shen Lin didn't doubt that Chen Ping'an had any intentions towards his Lingyuan Water Mansion or himself.

Mr. Chen is so bright and clear in the clear moonlight breeze, a gentleman is magnanimous.

Chen Ping'an explained with a smile: "Li Yuan can't hide his words. Once he's drunk, he's easy to talk to others. He'll talk out the truth. It might not have mattered before, but now he's the Marquis of Longting. You still have to be careful. Li Yuan The threshold for making friends is high, and I can only count a few. If I take out this basic information at once, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings in the Water Dragon Sect. If it were me, I would also suspect that Li Yuan was the water dragon sect in the early years. In the long years of Zheng, we clearly have this ritual book, but why haven't we brought it out? This is human nature, no wonder Sect Leader Sun and the others think too much about it."

Shen Lin nodded. Mr. Chen's move was indeed mature and prudent.

Chen Pingan continued: "But on Mrs. Shen's side, there is no need to be so restrictive. There are many strange people and strangers in the Lingyuan Palace now. It can be explained that someone obtained something from an old collection somewhere, and then it was stolen by Mrs. Shen. A wise eye recognizes pearls, so it is only now that it has seen the light of day. It is presented to the Shuilong Sect. Naturally, this is the meaning of the title. It also counts as a good beginning and a good end, and a new relationship has been formed and a good beginning."

Shen Lin pursed his lips and smiled, overjoyed. He managed not to laugh out loud, and said softly: "There is another reason. If I get this extremely precious and unusual Taoist ritual book, given Shen Lin's situation back then, unless I don't want to live, Only then can we hide it."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's inappropriate for me, a guest, to tell such a big truth."

Shen Lin smiled like a flower.

I recall that when we first met, the young man was holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, his eyes bright, like lights in the rain.

Chen Pingan said: "Helping others is helping yourself."

Shen Lin nodded. Shen Lin was certainly aware of Mr. Chen's so-called selfish motives earlier, because Li Yuan would help this "brother who worships" with something every year.

Chen Pingan bought the Fushui Island in Longgong Cave at a very low price.

Now reciprocating a favor with a favor, isn't it a kind of good beginning and good ending?

Chen Ping'an was about to stand up and say goodbye.

Shen Lin suddenly said: "Winning the crowd will move the heavens, and the good will will prolong the life."

Chen Ping'an smiled knowingly, stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Then I'll borrow Mrs. Shen's good advice."

These are the words of my husband, the words of the sages that were engraved in black and white and recited and annotated by countless scholars.

It is most appropriate for Mrs. Shen to say this now.

Shen Lin stood up and persuaded him to stay: "Mr. Chen, why are you coming and going in such a hurry? You should not miss this moment, right? At least let me lead the way and ask Mr. Chen to visit the old site of Nanxun Water Palace?"

Chen Ping'an could only tell the truth: "Traveling far away in a dream, wading through a long river of time, requires a certain amount of merit."

Shen Lin looked puzzled and said: "It's only a few steps, and I think it's a lot of losses. What's more, on my side, did Mr. Chen consume any merit? Could it be that Mr. Chen was sure from the beginning that I would not accept the merit?"

Chen Pingan felt helpless and could only say polite words, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey."

Mrs. Shen and Zhu Quan, the leader of the Pima Sect, seem to have completely different personalities, but they are equally powerful.

Of course, the one who gave Chen Ping'an the biggest headache was a certain female sword fairy from Ai Aizhou.

After that, Chen Ping'an followed Shen Lin, and the two parties walked in the water mansion where the truth and truth are unpredictable and the truth and truth are easily confused.

The shoulder distance between the two sides is just enough to accommodate one person.

Shen Lin found it interesting. She had heard some news from the mountain before, saying that during the years when he was the "Second Shopkeeper", Ning Yao often locked him out of the house because of drinking and spent the whole night to deal with him. ? And you don’t have any temper at all?

Is that Ning Jianxian really that powerful?

No wonder she can become the number one person in the colorful world. It's not without reason.

According to the landscape etiquette established by the Confucian Temple, green glazed tiles can be used in the "Gonghou's House" in Dadu, Wuyue.

Compared with Li Yuan's Longting Marquis Mansion, the two occupy roughly the same size, but this one is slightly cruder. Civil construction is still in progress. Back then, the Shuilong Sect lent money to Li Yuan first and paid for it. Of course, Li Yuan was not polite at all when he offered a large sum of immortal money to help build the Hou Mansion.

Moreover, the Shuilong Sect privately received private instructions from Shen Lin to consider Marquis Longting first. As for his own side, he did not need the Shuilong Sect to take care of him. However, in the end, the Shuilong Sect breathed a sigh of relief and still invested in this side. There is a lot of manpower and material resources, but money is running out, but there is still no shortage of genealogy monks who can support themselves.

Fortunately, the old Nanxunshui Hall has been moved out of the Dragon Palace Cave and can be used as the hub of various departments. The large and small buildings have been opened as government offices for various departments.

The residence of Duke Dadu is no different from a small court, with numerous government offices. According to the ritual system stipulated by the Confucian Temple, there are generally sixteen departments. If the number increases or decreases slightly, it is not a big problem.

Although the official ranks of Duke Lingyuan and Marquis Longting are equivalent in the gold and jade genealogy of the Confucian Temple, there are still some differences. For example, Shen Lin can build two du temples and has two Shuizheng in charge of incense. Li Yuan only has one quota. In addition, the number of Jiangshui Zhengshen under his jurisdiction is 20% more in the Lingyuan Palace than in the Longting Marquis Palace. As for the rivers of Hebo and Hepo, there is no fixed number. It only depends on the number of tributaries. Depends.

When Shen Lin walked near the Incense Department, he asked softly: "Mr. Chen, do you have any suggestions for candidates for the two temples?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head, "I traveled to Beiju Luzhou twice before, and I didn't have many interactions with the gods of mountains and rivers along the way."

Nowadays, the many landscape gods along the road were once under the jurisdiction of the imperial courts of various countries, but now they have two immediate superiors out of thin air.

However, compared to Li Yuan who went to the post alone, Shen Lin, in addition to the goddesses of the Nanxun Water Palace, also took away a group of narcissus and ghosts from the Dragon Palace Cave. It can be regarded as a person who has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. In addition, Shen Lin also gathered a considerable number of people, including monks in the middle and fifth realms, as well as water-born spirits who took the initiative to defect. Just like the teaching nun next to him who is in charge of the etiquette department, is the best example.

Nowadays, there are a total of eighteen government offices in Lingyuan Shuifu Mansion, which are well organized and each performs their duties.

When it comes to business management, several Li Yuans put together may not be able to compare to one Shen Lin.

After all, Li Yuan was used to being a loner, the type who would never sit down and doze off when he could lie down and enjoy the blessings. And Shen Lin was famous for being a good housekeeper. In the past, there was only one Nanxun Water Palace in the Dragon Palace Cave. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Today is different from the past. Every time I go out to inspect the territory under my jurisdiction, the ceremony is strict and very powerful.

When he walked to the door of the Qing Gong Department, Shen Lin looked a little shy.

A group of female officials in the room were confirming a list again.

It turns out that every river god in the world has a day of enlightenment every year, which is similar to the birthday of Shanxia Yazi.

It's just that ordinary landscape gods, those of low rank, don't care about this, and won't make a fuss about it. At most, there will be more human incense in their respective temples. Otherwise, if it is done once a year, who can bear it? Neighbors in the Shanshui officialdom, just like those at the foot of the mountain, must pay attention to the courtesy of money exchanges, so there is an unwritten rule that has been agreed upon, which is usually done at a glance, or simply ignored.

But for a Dadu Duke like Shen Lin, who had only been in office for a few years, she had no choice but to be simple.

And Shen Lin's enlightenment day happens to be this month, so the female official leader of the Qing Dynasty Division next to her has been extremely busy at the end of every year in recent years. Not to mention entertaining guests, she only collects and counts various gifts, or... The tribute is a truly huge project, involving the imperial courts of various countries, the powerful families, the large and small sects and immortal mansions on the mountain, the land of various river gods and mountain gods within the jurisdiction, as well as the city god temples in the prefectures, counties and counties...

The few pots of sky-high-priced orchids in the Lanfang Kingdom, the carefully brewed eagles in the Jinfei Kingdom, and the several koi in the Jinlin Palace. As well as Chunlu Po and the Dazhuan Dynasty...

Which gifts need to be repaid in the future and what kind of gifts they are, and which ones need to be recorded in a book and then classified into categories. Each one needs to be filed in the same place as the previous gifts. All these need to be finalized one by one by the Provisions Department and discussed with the Ceremony Department. Negotiate without making any mistakes.

Chen Ping'an visited Luzhou in Beiju for the first time. After leaving the Skeleton Beach, he walked through Lanfang Country and Jinfei Country, and finally arrived at Chunlu Pond, where he accidentally met our Liu Da Jiuxian.

I remember that Lanfang Country was prosperous in commerce, so women who married merchant wives would often throw money into the water to ask for good luck. Moreover, he released his word and became popular among both the government and the public. Whenever there is a drought or flood, he likes to take out the Paper Dragon King to vent his anger.

In the area north of Chunlu Pu, there are more than a dozen countries including the Great Seal Dynasty. Since ancient times, they have worshiped martial arts, their folk customs are fierce, and warriors are rampant. Most of them have the Great Seal Dynasty as their suzerain country. Their martial arts are prosperous, and they often call for friends, hundreds of warriors, and surround them. Scenes of beating up a sect on a mountain happen from time to time. It is probably the only one in the whole world. Poor Jinlin Palace, the old Nascent Soul Immortal is miserable. Every time his disciples travel down the mountain, they are beaten and beaten. Sack, it's really no joke.

Mountain Shaking Fist, Senior Gu You. He was once an old manager of a villa whose pseudonym was Qiu Fengjia.

In the end, he and Ji Yue, the sword fairy of Yuanwei Mountain, exchanged fists and swords.

I heard that the personal retainer of Emperor Zhou in Dazhuan was a female martial artist who used a sword.

Originally, when she entered the Far Traveling Realm, she was considered to have reached a dead end, but unexpectedly, she reached the Mountain Top Realm.

In the government office of the Construction Department, there was a young minister from the Ministry of Industry of Luying Kingdom, who was discussing matters with relevant officials. When he heard that Duke Lingyuan had just returned from a tour, he announced that he was closing the door to thank guests, and the young minister was a little agitated. It's a pity that I originally thought it would be nice to meet her once, but I didn't dare to expect more.

As the entrance of Jidu to the sea, Luying Kingdom has taken the initiative to do things in recent years. Without even saying hello to Lingyuan Duke, it started to build a building for Shen Lin to use as a station for patrolling Dadu. Within a few years, The Green Eagle Kingdom not only emptied the national treasury of gold and silver, but also borrowed external debts, which is probably an astronomical figure. Of course Shen Lin doesn't want to spend so much money on the Green Eagle Kingdom.

It's just that the Luying Kingdom itself didn't complain about being poor. It kept saying that the treasury was in surplus, so there was no problem. When several female officials from the Construction Department came to the Luying Kingdom in person, with a decree from Duke Lingyuan, all expenses were still reimbursed to the Shuifu Mansion. Low price, this kind of slanderous behavior made Shen Lin dumbfounded, so he had to issue a stern secret order again, not giving the Green Eagle Kingdom any chance to argue, and the follow-up project, which was just over halfway, must be completely handed over to Shui Shui. The Department of Government Construction takes over, otherwise it will be so abandoned. Whoever wants to move in in the future is up to you, the Green Eagle Kingdom.

At the Etiquette Department, the officials were in a bit of a dilemma.

Because Liu Lizhi, the old nun in charge, had just left the Shuifu Mansion, Lord Lingyuan closed the door again to thank the guests. However, at noon today, two distinguished guests would come to the door soon.

Shen Lin smiled and said, "These exchanges of favors are really tiring."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I understand deeply."

Shen Lin asked: "Does Mr. Chen have any tips for dealing with this kind of thing?"

The reputation of Luolu Mountain on the mountain south of Beiju Luzhou is excellent.

Chen Ping'an put his hands in his sleeves, shook his head and smiled: "I can only tell myself one thing, it doesn't matter whether you are getting rid of your heart or not getting rid of your problems, it doesn't matter if you are getting rid of your problems or not getting rid of your heart, you have to do one of them, don't get rid of both your worries and not getting rid of your worries."

After a moment of silence, Chen Pingan held back his laughter and said, "Actually, there are shortcuts. As long as you find a competent butler, you can be your own boss without worries."

Shen Lin shook his head, "I can't learn."

Over the years, there has been an endless stream of guests at Lingyuan Gongshui Mansion, and there is a lot of traffic outside the door all year round. However, in a few years, the situation will probably get better.

After walking around the various government offices, Chen Ping'an stopped and said, "Mr. Chen, next time you visit Luzhou in Beiju, whether you have something to do or not, you must come here as a guest."

Chen Pingan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Absolutely."

Shen Lin said abruptly: "Mr. Chen, I have a need to help you!"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "No problem, I can send a letter to sir."

In fact, Chen Ping'an had already guessed that it was because of the name given on the plaque, so Shen Lin really found the right person.

Not to mention one plaque, even ten plaques. With my husband's knowledge, he can help Lingyuan Gongshui Mansion.

But Shen Lin looked embarrassed and said: "How dare I bother Master Wen Sheng? Can Mr. Chen do it himself?"

Chen Pingan laughed dumbly, Mrs. Shen, you really think about it. How can you be so careless about such a big thing? He quickly waved his hand and said: "The naming thing is really not my specialty."

Shen Lin had a playful look on his face, stroked his temples, and smiled softly: "That's not what Chen Lingjun said back then."

Chen Pingan shook his head.

Shen Lin took a deep breath, and had no choice but to use his trump card, and said bravely: "Maybe Mr. Chen doesn't know it yet, but I have actually been the abbot of the Golden and Jade Dojo in the Dragon Palace Cave Sky behind the scenes."

If it was not a last resort, how could Shen Lin take the initiative to say such a thing? She really hoped that Mr. Chen could leave a calligraphy treasure, so she had to take this step.

Chen Pingan looked calm and was silent for a moment. When Shen Lin couldn't help but change his words, Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Then it's embarrassing."

Returned to Shen Lin's study.

Chen Pingan shook his wrist, and a bucket pen appeared out of thin air in his hand. He poked it lightly. The bucket pen in his hand seemed to be dipped in thick ink, but the ink was golden.

In calligraphy, large regular script is far more difficult than small regular script, so it is even more difficult to write a good calligraphy.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Pingan said: "If you don't use this name, Mrs. Shen doesn't have to bear any burden, just treat it as a small note of correspondence."

Mrs. Shen felt relieved and nodded: "Of course it's no problem."

Chen Pingan held the pen in his left hand, put the fingers of his right hand together, and with a slight stroke, a piece of half-cooked snow-white rice paper was spread out in front of him.

Finally, I wrote three words: Deyou Palace.

Taken from the phrase "Germans travel around the world".

Virtue travels in the sky, the autumn moon is cold on the river. I ask about my studies every day, and a traveler longs for his hometown.

It also means that the water of Dadu is flowing continuously, and only the merits are stable, like a lotus emerging from cement, which can be a place of peace of mind.

Shen Lin concentrated his attention and looked at the strokes on the paper.

The words are like a dragon rising out of the sea, with majestic momentum.

Chen Pingan put away his pen, shook his sleeves, and said goodbye with his hands clasped in fists.

Shen Lin was speechless. When Chen Pingan left quietly, Lord Lingyuan also forgot to say goodbye.

After a long time to regain consciousness, Shen Lin felt as if he had found a treasure, only to find that there was no figure in Qingshan in the study. Shen Lin bowed and saluted, and then carefully put away the calligraphy.

The next moment, Shen Lin returned to the dojo.

In that upright and bright room.

Shen Lin stood in the void, just like a hibiscus in the distant mountains, standing gracefully.

Tomorrow is the beginning of spring.

But today, Shen Lin felt as if he was bathed in the spring breeze.

————

Cangjun Lake in Yinping Kingdom is not far from Suijia City and governs one lake, three rivers and two canals.

Yinhou, the Lord of the Lake, who is wearing a bright purple robe, has restrained himself a lot in recent years. Although the Confucian Temple issued the gold and jade pedigree of the gods of mountains and rivers before, Cangjun Lake has not been promoted, but Yinhou can be regarded as looking away, and it is not enough. It's more than enough. When you're unhappy, just think about Huangyue City and Baodong Wonderland, and you'll feel relieved.

The mountain is made of iron, and the immortal master is the flowing water.

The dragon that crossed the river back then was a guy who called himself Good Man Chen. He was a deep and ruthless man.

At that time, beside the young swordsman, there was Du Yu, a military monk from Ghost Ax Palace who seemed to be a follower he met by chance in the world.

Cangjun Lake had hit an iron plate. At this moment, Yin Hou would vaguely feel a bit of "pain in his toes".

Otherwise, if Yin Hougui is a great lake water lord, there is no need for him to take the initiative to drink with the small fire temple in Suijia City every now and then.

Just like a Liubu Langguan from the Qing Dynasty in the capital, does he need to be brothers to a local county magistrate?

After Yin Hou practiced today, he planned to go out to relax, but he stumbled and stumbled into... the secret landscape of the monks on the top of the mountain?

As a result, when he looked closely, he saw an acquaintance with a smiling face. Marquis Yin immediately saluted and said, "Marquis Yin pays homage to Chen Jianxian."

With just a few words from Chen Jianxian, Lake Lord Yinhou said categorically: "Whatever Jianxian says, Cangjun Lake Dragon Palace will do it!"

It’s the same old saying from back then, unchanged.

Ordinary words, two minds.

Last time, I was forced by the situation, like a knife on my neck, I had to obey.

Both sides battled wits, courage, and swordsmanship, but both lost to this wealthy and ruthless foreign swordsman.

Cangjun Lake is not without its misery, especially since those few confidants are all lost on their own territory. Cangjun Lake has transformed from a bustling city to a clean place with few people.

Who among the mountain immortal masters from dozens of countries around Cangjun Lake dares to come here to drink again? How many more lives do you have than the average person?

He agreed so readily, but when he saw that the sword fairy in blue showed no sign of leaving, Yin Hou complained in his heart. With our friendship, we wouldn't sit down and exchange cups, right?

Could it be that he did something wrong and this extremely difficult guy came to settle the score again? For example, Du Yu’s visit last time? The problem is that Yin Hou thinks that he is very benevolent and can't really help Du Yu. He is not a direct descendant of that large sect, let alone a wild cultivator of Shanze. Where can he go if he offends the Qionglin Sect? You Sword Immortal, if you raise an army to investigate because of this matter today, then I, Marquis Yin, will... stick out my neck and do whatever you want. Anyway, as long as you don't beat me to death, I will go to Yufu Academy. While crying out for injustice, begging for justice!

Chen Ping'an was like "dragging" a lake king, walking side by side in the familiar Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake, and then soon came to the surface of the water, crossing the waves to go to the once dilapidated Narcissus Temple.

As for that stick of incense,

Many times, that kind of heartfelt fear will also bring sincerity.

Chen Ping'an asked with a casual smile: "Now there must be a lot of new faces in Lake Lord's Dragon Palace Assistant Officer?"

Yin Hou carefully chewed the aftertaste of these words.

Is the other party rubbing salt into the wound?

cant.

It was a great honor for me to be able to exchange a few words with Chen Jianxian.

A passer-by who was willing to bear the catastrophe of Suijia City, and a guy who went on a killing spree in Cangjun Lake and sat on a high chair like a god. What a terrifying...monster.

For the sake of caution, Marquis Yin nodded and said, "The new owner of the Zaoxi canal was a very chaste and fierce woman during her lifetime. If Chen Jianxian doesn't believe it, just change the route and see the current landscape and weather of the Zaoxi River."

As for the other canal owner who failed more than succeeded, it was okay not to mention it. Anyway, Chen Jianxian and I both knew the root cause.

But it is strange to say that there were two Narcissus temples in the early years. One was like a prosperous and wealthy family, full of guests all year round, and the other was an extremely miserable dilapidated family. Even the painted statues in the temple could not withstand the money of the canal owner. body.

On the contrary, this stupid old woman with insufficient brains is the only one among the river gods Narcissus in Cangyun Lake who got a blessing in disguise. Now she has become prosperous. The Narcissus Temple has been repaired like new, and the three stained painted statues have been repainted. Painted with gold.

On the contrary, it was the famous Zaoxi who took over as the canal master and was the first to say no during the turmoil that year.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Of course I can trust Mr. Yin Hu."

Before going to the Dragon Palace, I had already seen the landscape of the brand-new Narcissus Temple. After changing the owner, the atmosphere was indeed completely new. It still had the plaque saying "green water flows forever". Fortunately, I tried my best to stop Du Yu. Advise him not to be so obsessed with money that he can't get out of it, and to keep a line in his life so that we can meet each other in the future... Otherwise, the place of the plaque in the ancestral temple may have been changed by now.

Nowadays, the algae stream is full of algae at the bottom of the stream. Each branch is several feet long. It is as beautiful as a phoenix tail. The stream is crystal clear and floats with the current, so graceful and lovely.

Although the stream next to the road below is not comparable to Zaoxi Creek, it can be regarded as a great change. The two sides are no longer a bleak scene with overgrown weeds. The road paved with cobblestones is flat and clean, which can make people feel comfortable. The horse-drawn carriages were allowed to pass, but the canal master's temple was only a few dozen miles away from the market on the mountain road, and the incense was in a state of withering. Even the statues in the temple could not carry the divine light, and could only be placed on the water side. , tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall every year, borrowing money to survive, everyone said that it is not difficult to borrow again and again. She has accumulated many years of old debts, but she can just borrow incense, which is considered her ability.

Chen Ping'an asked: "Did her Liaoyan cup come from the Qing De Sect?"

Marquis Yin nodded and said: "Chen Jianxian has good taste. This object is indeed one of the ritual objects of the Qingde Sect of the Taoist Sect in the early years."

Chen Ping'an joked: "In the end, the channel owner used it to carry the ecstasy soup and bring luck to her?"

Yin Hou suddenly looked embarrassed.

Arriving outside the Narcissus Temple, Chen Ping'an and Yin Hou retreated to the mountains and rivers without passing through the door. In an instant, the two parties came to an ancient alum-carrying road near Cangjun Lake.

Chen Ping'an was walking in the mountains and asked: "According to the geographical map records in the local county annals, this place seems to be called Daishishan. Is there a place nearby for jumping tail?"

Marquis Yin became increasingly unsure of what this guy was going to do, so he could only nod his head and say, "Chen Jianxian is not a noble person at all."

Chen Ping'an took out a hiking stick in his hand, poked the ground gently, and joked: "Flattery is really not suitable for Mr. Yin Hu. Let's not make each other miserable next time."

After reaching the top of the mountain, Chen Pingan looked down at the surroundings and could see the White Sword Waterfall in the distance, a strip of white water that looked like a sword hanging upside down.

There are mountains nearby that are rich in porcelain clay, which can be fired into porcelain, which can be shipped along the Zao River and sold to various places via waterways.

Yin Hou asked tentatively: "Has Chen Jianxian been to Suoyun Sect?"

This extremely disturbing question about swordsmanship has already spread in Luzhou, Beiju.

Liu Jinglong, the young sect leader of the Taihui Sword Sect, and an unknown swordsman surnamed Chen, climbed Yangyun Peak together and demolished the ancestral hall of a sect with a profound history.

Immortal Wei Jingcui, even though he sacrificed a Moon Mirror that was at the bottom of the box, still failed to take on Liu Jinglong's sword challenge, and now he is in seclusion to recuperate.

But for some unknown reason, not long after, Yang Que of the Suoyun Sect came down the mountain in person and actually took the initiative to conclude an alliance with the Taihui Sword Sect, claiming that he was half a vassal on the mountaintop.

Chen Ping'an laughed at himself: "Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles."

Just as Yin Hou was about to say something, he suddenly remembered Chen Jianxian's previous reminder, so he stopped talking and swallowed back those words that were indeed disgusting.

Marquis Yin asked again: "What about the Qionglin Sect's Patriarch Hall?"

Later than the Suoyun Sect, there was another change in the Qionglin Sect's Patriarch Hall, but it was relatively small. The Qionglin Sect spared no effort to cover up the matter, but the Qionglin Sect was well-known on Luzhou Mountain in Beiju and had many friends. How could there be no one in this country to "speak for justice"?

Although it is still a mystery who did it, the only thing that can be determined is that it was the sword cultivator.

For example, Duckweed Sword Lake published a newspaper, using a wording that monks from other continents are bound to be stunned, but Beiju Luzhou is very accustomed to, saying that since no one admits that they demolished the ancestor of Qionglin Sect, Tang, then our duckweed sword lake will have to be splashed with dirty water. Since the explanation is not clear, then there will be no explanation...

The problem is that the Qionglin Sect has never provoked Duckweed Sword Lake, and it has not even suspected Li Cai. Why are you throwing dirty water? What on earth are you, the female sword fairy, trying to explain?

The reason why Yin Hou had this idea was because Du Yu was a guest in his Dragon Palace and confessed that he had offended the Qionglin Sect.

Then, just a few days after Du Yu left Cangyun Lake, Qionglin Sect suffered such a sudden disaster.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said, "Can this be blamed on me?"

It's none of my business what Liu Jinglong, Rong Chang and Liu Zhiqing did together.

Chen Pingan turned his head and looked towards the Zaoxi Temple.

There was once a handsome young man standing on a raised eaves with a yellowed bamboo flute tied around his waist. He Lu from Huangyue City and Yan Qing from Baodong Wonderland were the golden boy and beautiful girl on the mountain.

He Lu, Yan Qing. Singing to the wine about how much life is like, how bitter it is when the morning dew is gone. Haiyan Qingping. They are all good names, put together, like...a fateful prophecy?

The nine children who were later taken out of the Sword Qi Great Wall by him included the fat boy Cheng Chaolu and Na He Gu.

Since there is that "fortunately, I am safe and can see the sun again, what else can I do, I am only the first to show up". There is still that "in a peaceful world, the Dharma is like the morning dew, and its simplicity never fades."

Maybe this is what is called no coincidence.

Chen Ping'an came back to his senses and said: "Cangyun Lake did not insult Du Yu before, but did what he could. Mr. Yin Hu is still very kind."

Yin Hou's smile was far-fetched, but actually it didn't sound like he was saying anything nice.

Then take it as a good word.

Yin Hou asked in his heart: "Can I ask Chen Jianxian his real name?"

It's not a big deal that I'm always so worried.

The green-robed swordsman actually reported his name and place of origin.

"My real name is Chen Ping'an, from Lizhu Cave Heaven."

Yin Hou was shocked to the extreme in an instant. He was horrified and his heart was like a turbulent sea. He swallowed, hesitated and said vaguely: "Mr. Chen is the closed disciple of Master Wen Sheng?"

Yin Hou deliberately did not mention the more shocking identity of the sword cultivator.

Chen Pingan smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Of course."

Marquis Yin is reminding himself that you, Chen Ping'an, are a serious Confucian disciple with a Taoist background and a scholar. Young master, don't be so quick to kill and kill as it is insulting to your gentleness?

Chen Ping'an held a hiking pole, turned around and asked with a smile: "Have you even heard of Lizhu Cave?"

Yin Hou nodded and said: "Of course!"

In today's vast world, who wouldn't know about the small cave sky that has long been shattered and fell to the ground.

Ma Kuxuan, Liu Xianyang, Gu Can...

These young monks all come from Lizhu Cave, which seems to be only the size of a palm.

Among them, there is the hidden official Chen Ping'an, who is like a man who has found pearls in Tanli, and the rest of his peers have their own scales and claws. In short, they are all top-notch talents in the world.

Chen Ping'an's face was calm, and he looked southward, as if his sight could span the sea and extend to Aquarius Continent, the Great Li Dynasty, and the old Longzhou in the south.

In an instant, the figure in green shirt was no longer visible on the top of the mountain.

Yin Hou immediately returned to the Dragon Palace of Cangjun Lake. He felt like he was going through the gates of hell, and he had lingering fears for the rest of his life.

Just a moment later, Yin Hou murmured in a low voice: "I once fought with him back and forth. If this spreads out, will it be okay?"

————

In Mi Xuefeng Mansion, Huang Ting has already gone to refine his sword.

Yu Fushan lay on the railing and continued to look at the scenery.

Suddenly, his expression was in a trance, and the smoke and water gradually dissipated, and he was still sitting in Mo Xiandu's shop.

Not surprised, Yu Fushan sneered and turned around to see the man wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat. He visited the shop again. He gently took off the bamboo hat and shook off the rainwater outside the door. He smiled. Said: "Fellow Taoist Master Fushan, we meet again. How is our hospitality at Xiandu Mountain?"

Yu Fushan said in a deep voice: "Master Chen, you are good at Taoism!"

The guest in green shirt smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just want to ask fellow Taoist Master Fushan for something. I won't force you to agree or not."

"Since Chen Jianxian is in Xiandu Mountain, why should he act so sneakily? It can be discussed in person."

"To be honest, I am not in the mountains at the moment. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

"I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Fellow Taoist Master Fushan is going to be a master who worships the monks at Taiping Mountain. Why are you so arrogant?"

"..."

After talking about the business, Yu Fushan was very curious, "How to do it?"

"Sincerity leads to spirituality?"

“Can I teach, can I learn?”

“Easy to learn, hard to teach.”

"..."

Later, also in Mi Xuefeng, Chen Pingan found Lao Qiu, whose pseudonym was Qiu Du.

If a person who practices Taoism wants to attain Taoism, no matter how good or bad his qualifications are, unless there are some very rare exceptions, he can't escape the word "diligence".

Qiu Du was breathing heavily at the moment. After opening his eyes, he quickly stood up and saluted, "I have met Shanzhu Chen."

Afterwards leaving Xiandu Mountain, Chen Ping'an went to Biyou Palace to find the empress buried in the river. It didn't look like she was there to talk about business. Instead, she had a meal of genuine fish noodles, luckily it wasn't pickled fish.

Lifting one leg and stepping on the bench, the Water Goddess rolled up a large piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew on it, and asked: "My dear, when are you going to call your senior brother Jun Qian? You two can be guests together."

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded: "No problem."

Liu Rou sincerely praised: "My little master is getting better and better at eating spicy food. Next time I will ask Old Liu to add two more handfuls of dried chili peppers."

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "I really don't need it."

"You're welcome, let alone two handfuls, how much is a basket of dried chili worth?"

"It's not about money."

Lion Peak.

Li Liu heard Chen Pingan's request and smiled: "Unconsciously, Mr. Chen has changed a lot, but this is good. It's just a stick of incense. It's not a big problem. Mr. Chen is worrying too much."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "If this is what you are asking for, I won't come to you. It involves too much."

He came to Li Liu to ask for a token, but when he went to Mrs. Dandan, who was the co-owner of land and water transportation, he felt like he was pretending to be powerful. After all, that Lushui pit was once Li Liu's summer resort.

Li Liu joked: "Will you find that Zhigui who only knows how to act petty?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "Forget it for her. Among the princes in the Four Seas, I only look for Marquis Li Ye."

Mrs. Dandan, whose name was Qingzhong, was approached by Chen Ping'an. The two parties seemed to be standing on both sides of a border. She was hesitant at first, obviously wanting to shirk something, but she was mainly worried about the incompatibility with Li. , eating and drinking at the Confucian Temple.

You, Chen Ping'an, have a literary saint as your teacher, but I don't. I don't have anyone to support me at the Confucian Temple, which is very painful.

Just when Chen Ping'an took out the token given by Li Liu, Mrs. Dandan immediately let out an ouch, with a smile on her face, saying that for such a trivial matter, there is no need for a hidden official to come to the humble house in person, she can just find someone to send a message to her. ah.

The Prince of Nanhai Sea, Li Yehou, agreed without any hesitation. Anyway, it was just another business.

Merit becomes rarer as time passes. This is the consensus of a small group of mountain monks.

Chen Ping'an didn't care. Lord Yin Guan was wealthy and didn't take it seriously, but Marquis Li Ye took it very seriously. If the Confucian Temple were to hold him accountable afterwards, with Chen Ping'an's character, he would definitely not back down even half a step. It would be impossible for a young hermit official to do such a thing that would kill a Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. Besides, there are old scholars. In the Confucian Temple, you are not afraid of the sky falling. When it comes to quarrels, the old scholar has never lost. As for the determination and ability to protect the calf, haha, in the vast world, it seems that no one can compete with the old scholar.

But before Chen Ping'an left, Marquis Li Ye couldn't help but ask him a question, "Even if you are repairing a continent, why are you in a hurry? Wait until..."

However, after the word "wait until" was uttered, Li Yehou stopped talking.

I believe Chen Pingan knows what he wants to say.

As a result, the guy said, "Sword cultivators can do whatever they want, and there is no limit to heaven and earth."

Li Yehou shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, indicating that he would not see the guests off.

It’s hard to say who is the guest and who is the host.

Damn swordsmanship is just...happy.

Over at the Yulong Sect, the sect leader Nalan Caihuan was in high spirits today. He found the Zhangluyun Dian and threw her a jade tablet.

The simplest Wushi card style, there is no front or back to say about it.

One side is engraved with the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and the other side is engraved with the awe-inspiring world.

It's just that on the side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, in addition to the two characters "Yin Guan" in small seal script, there is also a number in small regular script.

Yunzhuan asked doubtfully: "This is it?"

Nalan Caihuan smiled and said: "I have just accepted a direct disciple for you, this is his apprenticeship ceremony."

Yun Zhuan was slightly annoyed. How could it be such a childish act? He had never even seen the other party, but there was another direct disciple?

Nalan Caihuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, that young man has good cultivation qualifications, and... he is definitely not a pervert!"

Nalan Caihuan slumped on the chair in Yunzhuan's room, crossed her legs, and swayed, "If he is a swordsman, it will not be your turn."

Yun Zhuan was still easy to talk to. He held the jade tablet in his hand, raised his hand, and asked, "Is there anything special about it?"

Nalan Caihuan pointed at her, "You know how to practice when you practice. You have this stinky habit of not hearing what's going on outside the window. You don't even read the latest newspaper?"

Yun Zhuan said with a shy face: "I look through it occasionally, because I haven't read enough."

Nalan Caihuan brought up old matters again and chatted with her manager about the inside story.

At that time, in the Chunbanzhai Assembly Hall, there were people like Baixi of the "Wapen" ferry, Dai Hao of "Taigen" in Aaizhou, Liu Shen, the owner of "Nishang" in Xianjia Island, and "Fuzhong" of Liuxiazhou. "Liu Yu and others, this group of fifty-four ship owners and stewards from the eight continents of Haoran, each received a small gift from the young hermit official, and everyone who saw it had a share.

In addition, the number on Wu Qiu's jade plaque is nine, Tang Feiqian's twelve, and Liu Shen's ninety-six.

In today's vast world, some good people have made statistics. In the end, it seems that they did not collect ninety-nine jade tablets, only more than eighty, and it was definitely less than ninety anyway.

This is because the young Yinguan did not participate in many meetings in person. In addition, the number of cross-continental ferries to Hanging Mountain was limited after all. Together with the Middle-earth Divine Continent, there were only more than 150 or 60 ships in total, and there were not many of them. Few ferries only make a trip to Daixuan Mountain every few years or even ten years.

It is said that the young Yin Guan personally drew the symbols and carved the text. Each jade tablet contains the sword energy of two to three sword immortals. According to Miyu at the time, it was not valuable, but it was unique.

Is it really worthless? What a liar.

Back then, Jiang Gaotai had taken the initiative to exchange the piece in his hand for ninety-nine.

Now it seems that Captain Jiang is really far-sighted! It's a pity it didn't work out.

And the "one" and "ninety-nine", these two jade plaques with the most special numbers, have they ever appeared? If they have appeared, who will they get? No one knows yet.

Many jade tablets were given to closed disciples by the ship owners, or handed over to heirs of certain families who were expected to shine brightly. They will ask the latter to put it away properly, because at a critical moment, this jade tablet is a talisman, or even... a life-saving talisman!

As for the opening ceremony of some golden elixir earth immortals, as a gift from the sect's ancestor hall, this object has occasionally appeared in the world, and then the outside world has learned about it.

The reason for this strange appearance is that the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect in Nan Posuo Continent announced a piece of news to the world through the Chunru Chen family's academy newspaper.

The Longxiang Sword Sect recognizes both people and brands, but it does not recognize the mountain top. The Dragon Elephant Sword Sect will consider at its discretion whether to help solve the problem and help overcome a certain difficulty. If it's done, the jade token will be taken back. If I can't help, I'll talk about it later.

To put it simply, these jade plaques obtained from Chunbanzhai on Hanging Mountain can be passed down from generation to generation and "hereditary and irreplaceable". But if these signs are left in the sect or immortal mansion, holding the jade sign, and come to ask the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect for help, I'm sorry, but the jade sign will be left behind.

After that, Xie Songhua, Song Pin, Pu He, etc., these sword immortals who had been to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, also responded, as if they were interacting with the Longxiang Sword Sect, but also as if they were... grabbing business. ?

After Yun Zhuan knew the truth, he nodded and said: "No wonder it has become so valuable. It is really a life-saving charm. For monk Haoran, even if the jade token is kept and not used, it will be passed down from generation to generation, which will be an invisible power to the enemy. Deterrence. It’s just that this kind of jade token doesn’t seem to be particularly necessary for you, the sect master, right?”

Nalan Caihuan rolled his eyes and said, "Are you stupid? With this jade token, if the Yulong Sect really has important matters in the future, such as if we need help, or if there are some things that we should not show up for, we can go to Lu Zhi. Otherwise, Song Pin, especially Pu He, who is very wild, ask them to help kill people."

Yunshuan suddenly realized and sighed. Sure enough, it was right for him to be just a showman and Nalan Caihuan to be the leader of the sect.

Nalan Caihuan turned to look out the window. Spring was about to begin, but there was a heavy snowfall in the Yulong Sect.

I recall back then, that young but high-ranking guy was sitting in the Chunbanzhai Assembly Hall, holding his chin with one hand, staring blankly at the heavy snowfall outside the door.

Damn it, looking back on it now, Nalan Caihuan actually looks a bit like a dog.

The first cross-continental ferry to Daoxuan Mountain in history was the "pillow water" of Nanposu Island.

The second article is from a sect in Fuyao Island named Yundu Mountain, and the ferry is named "Pitching". The third ferry, the "Tong Umbrella" in Tongyezhou, sank in a shipwreck.

On the other side of the Sword Qi Great Wall, there was once a distant memorial ceremony for this.

Even the Yizhou Sacrificial Sword in Luzhou, Beiju, was born out of this.

It's just that, the years are long, the time is too long, if it weren't for the young hermit official, who had eaten enough to support himself, carefully read every archive book in the Hidden Han Palace, and then said it himself during the meeting. Otherwise, even Nalan Caihuan wouldn’t know.

Nalan Caihuan left the house in a big way.

Yunzhuan continued to practice, and she was suddenly shocked to find a strange man walking out of the clouds and mist. He was wearing a green shirt and a long coat, with a slender figure and a warm expression.

Yunzhuan hurriedly stood up from the futon and said angrily, "Who are you? How dare you break into the Yulong Sect!"

How could he possess such unbelievable magical powers if he was not a great monk in the Ascension Realm who was proficient in Taoism and Taoism? Could it be that he is a remnant of the barbarians hiding in the vast sea?

I saw the man in green shirt carrying a sword, gently raising his hand, holding a jade plaque with the word "Yin Guan" in ancient seal script, and said with a smile: "Master of the Yunshuan Sect, my name is Chen Pingan, I was once the Hidden Official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. "

Yun Zhuan was extremely surprised, but she still frowned and shook her head: "How can I prove my identity with this thing alone? Do you think I am so easy to fool?"

Chen Pingan said: "I once asked Chunbanzhai Shao Jianxian to deliver a secret letter to you, so that the green mountains will not have to worry about having no firewood."

He put his fingers together and wrote a secret letter out of thin air. The size and arrangement of the fonts, the fine handwriting, and the private seal were all exactly the same.

Yunshang took a long breath, and it turned out that the benefactor of the Yulong Sect, who had never been masked before, was here in person!

Yunzhuan quickly saluted. If it weren't for the advice of the person in front of him, then the entire Yulong Sect's incense would have been completely cut off.

Yunzhu asked tentatively: "Why did the hidden official show up in this way?"

Chen Pingan apologized: "It's a long story. I will visit the Yulong Sect in the future and make amends with the leader of the Yunshuan Sect."

The Yulong Sect is a place where water transport gathers, just like the location of a spring. It is even a bit like a vassal town. Even the South Sea Lord Li Yehou cannot completely control the flow of water transport here. According to the records of the summer palace, there are some records of the origin of the Yulong Sect. There are two speculations, either it was the place where the Rain Master once stayed in the human world, or it was the place where he fell in the battle to ascend to the sky.

Yunzhuan blushed slightly and said, "I don't dare to hide the hidden official. Now I am just the leader of the Yulong Sect, and the sect leader is Nalan Caihuan."

Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "Afterwards, please ask fellow Taoist Yunzhuan to help send a message to Nalan Caihuan. I will come to congratulate her next time."

Nalan Caihuan is a person who can't afford to be early without profit. However, her coming to serve as the head of the Yulong Sect is a good thing for both the Yulong Sect and her.

The reputation of the Yulong Sect in the world is very average now, so the Confucian Temple's support for the Yulong Sect after the war was extremely limited. If the Yulong Sect's geographical location was not too important and it occupies a geographical advantage, it would probably be unstoppable. The country is gradually going downhill. Without a strong-armed sect leader, it will only become more and more incense and wither. Of course, it's easier to invite gods than to give them away. With Nalan Caihuan's temperament, it is estimated that she will never give up until the end of the world.

Once a sword cultivator reaches the immortal realm, he is different from other Qi practitioners. In addition to tirelessly refining swords, one is to temper the edge, and the other is to find more divine powers for his natal flying sword. But other than that, compared to Compared with ordinary mountain top monks, sword cultivators often don't particularly care about opening a mansion and refining many natal items. Therefore, ordinary mountain top monks who have become immortals, especially those in the Ascension realm, often focus on opening up mansions and refining natal items. Regarding these two things, there suddenly became nothing to do. However, the sword cultivator could free up his hands to check for omissions and make up for the shortcomings.

However, it is not easy for Nalan Caihuan to reach the immortal realm.

After all, she is not Lu Zhi.

Yunzhuan deliberately ignored the word "was", and after hearing the young Yinguan's explanation, he immediately agreed.

Chen Ping'an said: "Senior Yunzhuan, don't rush to agree to this matter. It's best to discuss it with Nalan Caihuan. After all, it involves the sect's water transport, which is of great importance."

Yunzhuan shook his head and said: "No, I am the Patriarch of the Yulong Sect, and I can make decisions on this kind of thing myself."

Chen Ping'an thanked him and left.

Yun Zhuan hesitated to speak, but raised his hand and then put it down. The other party had already traveled far away, not to mention that even if the young Yin Guan stayed for a while, he didn't seem to know what to say.

For some reason, she frowned and blushed slightly.

————

There are thousands of miles of yellow sand, and the mountain tops are exposed, almost barren of grass, and red.

At the foot of a mountain where running water rarely passes, a small wine shop opened a few years ago. The flag was hung very high, but the flag was wrinkled and limp. There is a big wine vat inside the shop, and the wine is sold in dimes or bowls. The proprietress is an ordinary-looking woman in a Jingchai sarong. There are only a few old faces who often come to the wine shop, including the mountain god and the girl. The others who look like He Po don't come often, they are just some insignificant spirits, many of which are half-refined, and can barely be regarded as repeat customers. Anyway, in this place where birds don't shit, the practice is stable, according to that According to the Master of the Mountain God, those who can settle down here, regardless of their origins, are all people with a strong Taoist heart and extraordinary perseverance. They should be cherished and cared for. They all felt that the wine-selling woman was the concubine of the mountain god master. She could only say dirty words and never dare to be rude.

Our mountain god is also pitiful. We have heard that the mountain god of other places is a land father-in-law. Can he find a land woman who is as beautiful as a flower and a virtuous housekeeper?

Even if you don't say that the country is beautiful and fragrant, you still have to look at youth.

The wine-selling woman likes to read, but she is the same person as the mountain god who likes to recite poems and compose poems, and can speak well.

As for the poor mountain god here, he patrols a volcano crater twice every morning and evening. This is actually not a rule set by the Confucian Temple. It’s just that this mountain god feels that he has a great responsibility from heaven and must shoulder the burden himself, so even if he does it every day The next time I went to the crater with trepidation, I would often go to the liquor store and have a drink to calm down.

Nowadays, the wine shop business is somewhat better. No matter how poor he is, he is still a half-baked Qigong practitioner.

But the drinks here cost no more than fairy money or a few taels of silver, but the three wine tables were never full.

He never wiped the oil stains on the table. His business depended on wine.

Even the mountain god who came here to sit here for a while only mistook Yang Zhi for a water-born monk who had successfully refined his form, probably from the cave realm.

As for those dirty rumors. The mountain god was so angry that he jumped up and down, bah!

Master, am I that unselective? !

The sun is scorching, and at the turn of winter and spring, the heat is still rising like a steamer. The guests at the table inside the shop are all weird. They are all sweating, shirtless, drinking, bare-chested and backless, and fisting there. The women are also completely It didn't matter, she was just reading her book. She suddenly raised her head and closed the book gently. The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled and said, "What a rare visitor."

The woman picked up an old yellowed cattail leaf fan on the table and gently fanned the breeze. Her hair on her temples was gently flowing, "Come in, but if you want to drink, you still have to spend money."

From a distance, a man in green clothes wearing a bamboo hat came slowly, holding a green bamboo stick. He took off the hat, put it gently on the table, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, a bowl of wine."

Holding a cattail leaf fan in hand, Yang Zhi actually stood up and went to bring Chen Ping'an a bowl of wine and put it on the table. However, except for the two of them, all the other customers in the wine shop seemed to be stuck in a stagnant river of time. .

Chen Ping'an didn't have any doubts, picked up the white bowl and took a sip of wine.

Liu Cha was forced to stay in Haoran Tianxia by Chen Chun'an.

In comparison, Yang Zhi was even more aggrieved. Liu Qi, who was first returned to Haoran from the blessed land of poetry in the Qingming world, used spells to spells to completely crush Yang Zhi, who was on the sea on the battlefield.

Later, when Yang Zhi saw that he was unable to defeat him, he had no choice but to flee.

However, a deputy leader of the Confucian Temple came to wait for him and detained him in a volcano group that was rumored to have been the Taoist alchemy furnace.

That is the land under Chen Ping'an's feet.

Yangzhi sat across from the wine table and gently shook the cattail leaf fan.

There were quite a lot of grievances between the two sides, both public and private. Back then, on the battlefield, Yang Zhi once broke off the head of a great swordsman named Yue with his own hands in full view of the public. The latter traveled south to the wilderness and hid his identity for many years. , this swordsman drew his sword decisively and wandered around in the hinterland of the wild world, disrupting two important supply lines. The group of monks from the upper five realms of the demon clan who were responsible for maintaining the stability of the routes were exhausted from doing so, so much so that the Jiazi account over there , and had to let the two great demons of the old throne, Huang Luan and Yang Zhi, hunt down this person in person. On the battlefield, the Summer Palace strictly ordered the sword cultivator not to rescue. Perhaps this incident was just because the young hermit official and the Summer Palace acted "too audaciously" and too cold-blooded.

Not only has Feisheng City been talked about so far, many sword cultivators have also complained. Even the nine sword immortal embryos that Chen Pingan brought out of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, two of them, have always been difficult to care about because of this matter. The last two children , he and Yu Yue recognized their master, erased their names from the genealogy of the Jise Peak Ancestral Master Hall, and chose to follow the Liuxiazhou old sword cultivator to leave Luopo Mountain.

In addition, there was Jiashen Zhang Jian Xiutan, who was regarded as a half-closed disciple of the old master of Yiluohe, and was highly regarded by her.

What's more, the entire Nantang Lake in Aquarius Island seemed to have been drunk by Yang Zhi, resulting in the height of the lake after the war being less than 10% of what it was back then.

Chen Pingan asked: "Is it a fine wine from the Jiuquan Sect?"

This kind of loss-making business cannot be done by ordinary people.

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Can you drink all this?"

In fact, the wine was seriously watered down, and the spiritual energy was so thin that it was almost non-existent. In fact, it could no longer be called a fairy wine from the mountains. First of all, there was not much wine stored in the things that were close to me. Drinking a pot would result in a pot less. Yang Zhi also didn't want those customers to have an aftertaste after drinking, then the wine shop wouldn't be able to open.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Don't forget that I am a brewer myself."

Yangzhi said in confusion: "You are drinking in a dream, how can you taste it?"

Chen Pingan smiled and did not give an answer.

Before going to Yiluo River and Wuding River, I passed by Jiuquan Sect and stopped there for a drink.

It is said that both Yang Zhi and Qie Yun took good care of the Jiuquan Sect, so that a sect that was not good at fighting could stand firm in the wild world for a long time.

Seeing that Chen Ping'an didn't speak, Yang Zhi didn't bother to ask, so he just thought it was a strange skill on the mountain.

Yangzhi and Fei Fei are two great demons of the old throne. They once shared 80% of the water transport in the wild world, just because neither could win against the other. To put it more accurately, it was simply that neither could eat the other, which made both of them unable to become The common master of water transport in the world naturally cannot advance to the Fourteenth Realm by virtue of this. However, in addition to this great battle on the surface, there is actually a more hidden and dangerous fight. It is not only a fight for water transport, but also a battle between water and fire. ,

Because Feifei's Dao roots are extremely special, and Feifei is a rising star, in fact, she is a junior who is admired.

The solution given by Wen Hai Zhou couldn't be simpler: help both parties find a larger piece of land and get what they need.

This is the only reason why they are willing to follow the Tuoyue Mountain Ancestor wholeheartedly and rush to the vast world.

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "I have now figured it out. The so-called cultivation is a very boring thing."

Due to God's will, she was stopped and left here, but Fei Fei successfully returned to the wild world, only to be snatched away by the green-shirted man in front of her, half of the water transport in the river.

Presumably Fei Fei's promotion to the Fourteenth Realm has become a distant and illusory matter.

Yang Zhi doesn't take pleasure in others' misfortunes, but rather feels sympathy for them.

Chen Ping'an held the wine bowl and asked: "Is it because you think it's destiny? Just rely on yourself and work hard in vain?"

Yang Zhi twitched the corners of his lips, "Probably."

Chen Ping'an glanced at the book that had been lying on the table before, and asked with a smile: "Can I borrow a book or two?"

Yang Zhi said playfully: "This is a banned book, isn't it a taboo?"

Chen Pingan waved and took the book, which was the "New Book" written by Haoran Jia Sheng in the past. "There is nothing to be taboo about. Leaving aside the enemy and our camps, many of his knowledge are not only recognized by my husband, but I also think it is very reasonable." .”

In fact, many Haoran monks felt sorry for the former Haoran Jia Sheng, and even openly fought against him. However, when the war came, there was no sound.

Finding that the book had many dog-eared pages, Chen Pingan turned to one of the pages and glanced at the content. It was the story of the two-headed snake and a conversation.

"I saw two snakes on the road today. I'm afraid they may die soon." "Don't worry, I'll kill these snakes. Heaven will reward those with evil deeds with blessings."

So in the eyes of "Haoran Jia Sheng" in the past, what is a two-headed snake?

In the eyes of the later "wild and careful" people, what did they see as the two-headed snake blocking the way of the world?

Yang Zhi smiled and asked, "For example?"

Chen Ping'an said: "For example, offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods is insincere and disrespectful. Another example is the sentence 'Rites are forbidden before what happens, and the law is forbidden after what has happened', and another example is the sentence 'Let the people do good and stay away from sin. "You know yourself," and there is another saying, "Change the customs and change the customs, so that the world will change its mind and follow the Tao."

Yang Zhi's eyes were strange.

It really is?

I thought that this young hidden official just said something perfunctory.

Yang Zhi put down the cattail leaf fan and went to pour himself a bowl of wine, "I thought you would be most fond of the saying, 'You are an innocent child, and you will be taught to practice'."

Yang Zhi raised the wine bowl towards the other party, but the other party was indifferent. Yang Zhi smiled and raised his head to drink. He finished the drink in one gulp. After putting down the wine bowl, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?" "

When Chen Ping'an finished speaking, Yang Zhi sneered and said: "This is nothing. Not to mention that I lit a stick of heart incense. Can that water-borne essence incense leave this place and eventually flow all the way to Tongye Continent? I Even if we agree, what’s the point of using this little water transportation benefit to mend such a big hole?”

"That's not something you need to think about."

"Chen Pingan, have you forgotten something?"

"How to say?"

"Since it's a business, what benefits should I get?"

“I’ll still be able to sell wine while still alive.”

"Lord Yin Guan, do you like telling jokes so much?"

"I know you know I'm not kidding."

Yang Zhi covered his mouth and smiled, then stretched, "We've broken down the conversation, right?"

Chen Ping'an glanced at Yang Zhi. Her ink-colored dragon robe of Immortal Soldier rank was made using Jincuicheng's unique secret technique of weaving and refining the robe.

Nowadays, the reason why the female nuns in Caique Mansion have turned into weavers day and night is largely due to the fact that Chen Pingan asked Mi Yu to send a robe from Jin Cuicheng as a sample and completely dismantled it. After the solution, Caique Mansion's skill in refining robes has reached a new level. The Great Li Dynasty alone has ordered more than a thousand robes from the Caique Mansion.

It is known as one of the top ten robes in the world, in addition to the feather robe worn by the second son of the White Jade Jingdao, Zhao Tianlai, the great master of Longhu Mountain, Yao Qing, the chief minister of the Qingshen Dynasty, and the talisman Yu Xuan. The "Purple Qi" of Taoist robes are all included in this list. Therefore, there is another saying that "Taoists account for half of the best robes in the world".

Chen Ping'an finally said with a smile: "If you don't nod, what can I, a sword cultivator who is not even at the Jade Pu Realm, do?"

At worst, next time I travel to the Middle-earth Divine Continent, I can bring Xiaomo here to have a drink together.

Yang Zhi sneered and said, "That's nice to say!"

This time it was Chen Pingan's turn to be surprised.

Yang Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "I can detect the great aura in you even from hundreds of miles away!"

Bai Ze must have returned to the wild world!

As for that guy, God knows why he woke up from the bright moon and ended up with the last hidden official of the Great Sword Qi Wall.

Seeing that Chen Ping'an was showing signs of leaving, as expected, the wine shop returned to normal in an instant. The mountain god continued to speak the unfinished words before, touching the scene and shaking the wine bowl, "The crows crushed the sunset sky, the cold The flower is thin and pitiful."

The girl at the same table, He Po, took a sip of wine and sighed: "The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and bad luck only seeks out the poor. It is true that the strong have the best luck, and the poor are even more miserable."

The mountain god couldn't help but act like an elder, bent his fingers, tapped the wine table lightly, and reminded: "You are young, don't always say depressing words pretending to see through the world."

But almost at the same time, both parties discovered that at some point, there was a man in blue shirt on the table next to the wine shop. The old mountain god and the little river lady looked at each other for a moment. Could it be that they were land gods?

Yang Zhi asked in his heart: "Chen Ping'an, do you want to make another refreshing deal?"

Chen Ping'an was a little strange and waited for the next chapter.

Yangzhi said: "Please help me reserve a part of the Yiluo River water transport. If possible, you can help me talk to the Confucian Temple and see if you can allow me to be like the Taoting and the Xiaomo beside you. The world of Haoran is free to go, of course I can swear that no matter the outcome of the battle in the wild world, I am willing to learn from Bai Ze and stay in the world of Haoran for at least a thousand years. If you agree to these two things, I will teach you a trick Magic. To me, it is useless, but to you, it can solve your urgent needs."

"To take a step back, even if you can't practice this method, the Fire Dragon Master lying on the Earth Peak may be an opportunity for the great road, and with this, another village will be bright. I know that you have a very good relationship with him."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "You want me to be a guarantor?"

Yangzhi asked: "How?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It's not very good. Let's talk about it next time."

Standing up, Chen Pingan picked up the bamboo hat again and asked, "Why did you give yourself such a pseudonym?"

Look up and stop.

The high mountains stand still?

Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment, then raised her finger to the sky.

Chen Pingan became more and more confused. He followed his gaze and glanced at the scorching sun in the sky.

Glancing at Yang Zhi again, she looked a little dazed, not like she was just looking for a cover.

Yang Zhi sighed, just thinking of something made her need to stabilize her Taoist heart.

In ancient times, there was one of the highest beings, who sat in the sky and flickered the stars, cooking the four seas and refining the five mountains. He was a towering fire virtue, and all the gods looked up to him.

At the beginning of Yang Zhi's practice, he was far from attaining the Tao and becoming an Earth Immortal, but he had witnessed an extremely brutal fight with his own eyes. The so-called Earth Immortals were as cheap as ants on the Dao.

She was very lucky. Although she couldn't escape, she was not affected. Among the corpses on the battlefield, she was the only one who survived and stood still.

After opening his eyes, he saw that being, left the throne, and finally came to the little girl. He bent down, stretched out his hand to hold the latter's head, and looked into her eyes.

Finally, I said, the little reptile is a bit ugly.

Chen Pingan withdrew his gaze, put on his bamboo hat, and continued his journey.
