Chapter 1073 Give Way

Li Er took his wife and daughter, and his son-in-law Han Chengjiang, to visit the Hualing Dynasty in the north of Luzhou, Beiju. This was the first time the two families had visited relatives since they got married.

The woman got off the carriage and went to a place called Qiaozi Lane, which was wider than the main street. When she saw her son-in-law's mansion, she began to feel uneasy before she even crossed the high threshold. , I don’t know where to put my two hands.

The son-in-law had previously told about the origin of this Qiao Zi Lane, about the tall trees rising up and the catalpa trees bending down, and some other truths. The woman didn’t understand it, so she didn’t take it too seriously. She just waited until she heard about it. The entire alley belongs to the Han family, and according to the ancestral teachings of the Han family, there is no separation of ownership. This made the woman stunned. The son-in-law's family was too rich. In such a long alley, everyone's surname was Han? Just a year’s worth of food is not a small amount of money, right?

Just saying that there was a gold-lettered plaque as big as the door, plus the two squatting white jade lions that were taller than a person, had already given the woman a solid deterrent. When she entered the house, she was bending around. She was so dizzy that she didn't eat any chicken or dog shit along the way, and she didn't even dare to spit. The woman pinched the man's waist hard. The man turned around and grinned, then reached out to hold her hand. The woman hurriedly slapped it away. She is an old married woman and she is not ashamed. What if the scholars here see her and look down on us Huaizi?

The woman had no choice but to pinch her arm gently. It hurt. It was not a dream.

Previously, I took my daughter and son-in-law back to my hometown town together. They were also living at a relative's house, and the woman dared to despise the sister-in-law who was in charge of the cooking for her poor skills. But now that she was at her son-in-law's house, she was so angry that she didn't even dare to take a breath.

In fact, the woman had known for a long time that her son-in-law came from a good family, from a so-called rich family and a scholarly family. But how could the woman imagine that the threshold for her son-in-law's family would be so high, something she would never dare to dream about.

Now that her daughter is married, she is still the same and boring. Li Liu has had this temper since she was a child. She is not generous and has no choice. She has a temper like her father. Fortunately, her daughter's appearance and figure follow her, otherwise she would probably be unmarriageable now. The old girl is out.

My own man, on the other hand, usually doesn't show his virtues. He doesn't think about the critical moment, but he can still control the situation. He doesn't feel frightened when he meets anyone, and he doesn't talk much. He keeps a straight face and nods. , indeed more calm than myself. This made the woman feel a little more at ease, but she couldn't help but remind the man softly, Li Er, that's it, don't talk, anyway, don't embarrass Huaizi, otherwise I will get angry with you and sleep on the floor tonight.

Li Er grinned and nodded.

The woman quickly glared, looking like a coward.

Han Chengjiang hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, don't be so formal, just treat it as your own home."

In fact, the mother-in-law was nervous, and Han Chengjiang was even more nervous, but he just didn't show it on his face. He was afraid that the red tape in the family would make his wife and family of three uncomfortable.

So on the way back home, Han Chengjiang sent two letters home to Qiaozi Lane in Jiang County, reminding the family that etiquette was indispensable and that he should try not to stir up trouble. If grandpa hadn't personally replied to a letter, telling his grandson to just rest assured, Han Chengjiang would have been able to write another one.

The woman's voice was like a mosquito, and she said cautiously: "Chengjiang, I heard that you are the eldest son and grandson. Your family has a big business, so you must have many rules. Our family is different. We are small families who are used to being poor. Liu'er is also a boring gourd, so... I’m afraid I’ll embarrass you.”

In my hometown of Huaihuang County and the small town at the foot of Lion Peak, if there are even a little more people in the house, there will be a fight over it. Why should the Han family, such a wealthy family, have to break their heads?

After staying in the Han Mansion for a few days, I found out that my son Li Huai was a sage from the Cliff Academy in the Sui Dynasty. This was the best thing the woman could do.

As a result, when I got here, I learned that my son-in-law’s family, the deputy headmaster of the academy, and all the gentlemen and sages could be counted on one hand.

The woman really couldn't stay any longer and couldn't get used to it. She was afraid of making a joke and making a fool of herself. At that banquet, she didn't know where to put her chopsticks when eating or picking up vegetables.

Fortunately, Han Chengjiang's grandfather, Mr. Han, was very kind. He used to be an official in the capital. When he got old, he retired and returned to his hometown. At the banquet, he didn't have any airs of an official at the banquet. He let the woman give birth to a child. I have an illusion. Could it be that the Han family in Qiaozi Lane owes our family money?

I heard that Han Chengjiang's parents are on their way to Jiangxian County now, because Han Chengjiang's father is also a Beijing official and needs to take leave from the court when he returns home.

Han Chengjiang's father was the chief minister of the Hualing Dynasty.

And this old man Han happened to be the first minister and had been the prime minister of a country for nearly forty years. He was a well-deserved leader of the ministers.

The personnel and military departments of the Hualing Dynasty were always either surnamed Han or were disciples of the Han family in Wuzhi.

The woman thought that she had met her in-laws, so she went to the small town shop at the foot of Lion Peak early. It was more comfortable there, where she could hear chickens crowing and dogs barking, and she spoke louder, but who cares.

It's not like here, where the maids and servants walk without making a sound. Even those big boys, when they see them in the house, they will follow the master's bow one by one. Maybe this is called being knowledgeable and sensible.

In a study room with floor coverings, Mr. Han, who is nearly a hundred years old but still energetic, looks at his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. The old man smiles kindly and is very pleased.

Han Chengjiang was actually a Qi practitioner in the Lower Five Realms. He was on the path of spiritual practice by accident. He had no intention of doing this. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. He had no interest in the so-called enlightenment and immortality.

Mr. Han looked kindly, looked at the soft and frail woman, and asked with a smile: "Are you still getting used to living here?"

Li Liu smiled and said, "I'm okay, but my mother is not used to it."

Mr. Han nodded and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Outside the county town, the Han family has a mountain property. Let Chengjiang take you to live there. It's no different from the countryside."

Li Liu thanked him.

As the head of the Han family in Wuju, Mr. Han is of course very well-informed about the information. Moreover, Li Er and Shizifeng didn't do much to hide it, so they had a general knowledge of this family.

Li Er of Lion Peak is a martial artist who has reached the end of the realm. In fact, he is not a native of Luzhou in Beiju. He comes from Lizhu Cave of Aquarius Continent. It's just that not many immortal masters on Luzhou Mountain in Beiju know about this matter.

I heard that the old man Wang Fushu once went to the foot of Lion Peak, where he was beaten by Li Er, and then discussed matters in the Confucian Temple over Yuanyangzhu. At the end of the mountain, warriors gathered together for fishing. Wang Fushu seemed to have told people Li Er's boxing skills are actually average and not heavy.

The Hualing Dynasty in Luzhou in the north is similar to the Dayuan Lu Dynasty in the central part. They are both large countries with great national power. They are also one of the few dynasties whose temples at the foot of the mountain can manage the immortal mansion on the mountain. You must know that this is in the north. Ju Luzhou, and this family ancestral hall is located in Wuzhi Han family in Jiangxian County, Quwo County. In the Hualing Dynasty, it has always been nicknamed the "Tai Shang Huang". In history, there are more than a hundred people with the posthumous titles of "Wen" and "Wu" There are a considerable number of Han sages who deserve to enjoy the Ancestral Temple.

However, Han Chengjiang, the eldest grandson of the Han family, was already in his forties, but he still had no achievements in the temple. As an official, he only became a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and then studied for five or six years, and simply resigned a few years ago.

Previously, during the Hualing Dynasty, the Hualing Dynasty began to compile a large volume. The Hanlin Academy's bachelor's degree, who served as the chief official, recommended Han Chengjiang, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, as the chief editor.

Mr. Han asked: "What are you doing now?"

Han Chengjiang has been traveling abroad these years, and the number of times he has met his grandfather and grandson can only be counted on one hand.

Han Chengjiang, who was sitting upright, replied respectfully: "We are compiling two books, tentatively named "Hundred Schools of Miscellaneous Notes" and "Warning Statements and Lianbi"."

Han Chengjiang's reading was very complex. He divided the prefaces and postscripts, edicts, biographies, canons, memorials, memorials, etc. that he read into categories, transcribed and organized them. Whenever he encountered a wise saying from a sage, regardless of ancient or modern times, he would jot it down casually. Han Chengjiang picked out these sentences separately and divided them into ten categories, including scholarship, conservation, conduct, and literature. They were clearly organized and compiled into a volume.

Mr. Han nodded with a smile, "That is similar to the "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" selected by Liang Wu, and the "Zui Gu Tang Sword Sweep" by Lu Xiangke."

Han Chengjiang said: "I'm just picking on others' wisdom."

Mr. Han waved his hand and said: "If these two books are well done, they can be regarded as a treasure raft for becoming a person and a ladder for saints and sages. Come back and show me the draft to help you check it. If I can engrave a book in the future, Just remember to use a pseudonym."

Han Chengjiang agreed.

The old man suddenly smiled and said: "Li Liu, Chengjiang is good at calligraphy. What about the Spring Festival couplets at the ancestral home in Huaihuang County?"

His grandson Han Chengjiang's calligraphy was indeed very skillful and highly favored by today's emperors. Therefore, every time the Hualing Dynasty made an imperial tablet, Han Chengjiang was bound to write it. Before he became the editor-in-chief, even the name of His Majesty the Emperor's study was written. It's all Han Chengjiang's handiwork.

Han Chengjiang is recognized as a young prodigy. At a young age, he got the first place in the second class. It is said that this is because Han Shoufu used the reason that "the son of an official should not take the lead in the world's poor men" and took the initiative to request that his eldest son, Han Chengjiang, be lowered in the imperial examination. Ranking. Therefore, the Chief Minister of Han returned to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors, and especially needed to meet his relatives. His Majesty the Emperor gave him a jade Ruyi, which means "everything goes well during his trip to Beijing." In addition, he also gave the inner palace more than a hundred unique books. Of course it is specially for Han Chengjiang.

Li Liu smiled and said: "The Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" were both written by my brother."

Speech without restraint, straight to the point.

Mr. Han was speechless when he heard this.

Han Chengjiang couldn't help laughing when he saw this unusual expression on his grandfather's face.

Li Liu glanced at the plaque in the study room and felt ashamed.

It is taken from Ya Sheng's phrase "You should look up to heaven and be worthy of others", and it also echoes the Qiao Zi Lane at the door.

There is a couplet hanging on the wall, with iron paintings and silver hooks.

When the wind comes and the sea stands, there is dragon energy in the scabbard.

The clouds hug the mountains, and everything except the wine glass is a feather.

Han Chengjiang chuckled softly: "Grandpa actually doesn't like drinking, he just likes this couplet."

When my grandfather was young, he participated in the battlefield. He served in the army for more than ten years and was a famous Confucian general.

Therefore, Mr. Han, the chief minister, had a strange saying later in official circles.

Most of my friends are young people you don’t know.

The old man said with emotion: "Lion Peak is a good place for spiritual practice. I have only been there once when I was young. This kind of world-famous mountain ashram has been there for a long time. It is not only a geomantic treasure for those who practice Taoism, but also a place for scholars to broaden their minds and inspire the most." People have the ambition to be saints and virtuous people, and they have the desire to benefit themselves and others.”

The Master of Lion Peak, a well-known old Nascent Soul monk, is close friends with the former Headmaster of Yufu Academy.

The old man suddenly asked a question that would seem extremely unbelievable to outsiders, "Can I ask, why do you like Chengjiang?"

Li Liu said straightforwardly: "It's a matter on the mountain. It has both grudges and fate. It needs to be settled neatly in this life."

When she got married to Han Chengjiang, they had just held a wedding reception in the small town at the foot of Lion Peak, and no one from the Han family showed up.

Han Chengjiang and the Wuju Han family are also easy to talk to.

Han Chengjiang's two previous lives, in the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth and the Liuxia Continent, had a lot of intersection with Li Liu, who was known to have been reincarnated from time to time.

When Old Man Yang asked Li Er's family of three to leave the town and move to Beiju Luzhou, Han Chengjiang, who was traveling that time, happened to meet Li Liu, and they went to Lion Peak together.

It's like a fate destined by fate.

Li Liu knew very well that it was Cai Daohuang's handiwork entrusted to him by Old Man Yang. He opened the marriage tree in the engagement shop, wrote his name, and pulled the red thread.

In exchange, Old Man Yang gave Hu Feng an opportunity, and he was able to go up the mountain to practice.

But the golden cicada that hides a cave was just made by his younger brother Li Huai.

Mr. Han was speechless, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Li Liu, what is your current state?"

Li Liu said: "Immortal realm."

Mr. Han glanced at Han Chengjiang. It seemed that this was the first time he heard about this matter, but he had an indifferent expression on his face. He was generous and blessed, which was true.

Han Chengjiang had previously accompanied Li Liu, who had returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and was able to do the work of fetching water and cutting firewood in Huaihuang County, and had a simple meal. However, his friend Liu Xianyang was so frightened that he deliberately sent Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing is said to be a demon king who likes to put on sacks and beat sap since he was a child.

I had attended the celebration of the establishment of the sect in Luopo Mountain, and had a drink with Shanzhu Chen who took the initiative to come down from the mountain to visit. The other party was too drunk to drink.

Mr. Han was silent for a long time, stretched out his sleeve, lifted it up, and asked softly: "Is there any hope of getting to the next level?"

Li Liu nodded and said: "At most a hundred years, it is inevitable."

Mr. Han was silent again.

Now we have only one Ascension Realm monk in Luzhou, Beiju, for the time being.

The real fire dragon in Paidi Peak.

The old man smiled and said: "There are not many people who can achieve great feats and remain famous until later in life. Li Liu, from now on Chengjiang will be entrusted to you."

The issue of high achievements and shocking masters has always been a dangerous hurdle that the ancients could not get around on the way to becoming a prince or becoming a prime minister.

Li Liu nodded and said, "No problem."

The old man asked curiously: "I heard that Chen Yinguan was also born in Lizhu Cave Heaven. He seems to be very young now. How old is he exactly?"

Li Liu said: "A little over forty years old."

The old man hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I ask Chen Yinguan about his realm?"

According to what was said before, as one of the ten young people in the world, Chen Shiyi of the Great Wall of Sword Qi is a Jade Pu Realm swordsman and a Mountain Top Realm martial artist.

Li Liu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

————

Red Candle Town, a bookstore in an alley.

A dull man with short stature came, looked at the young man in black lying lazily on the wicker chair, and said, "Come and buy books."

Li Jin, the water god of the Chongdan River, immediately sat up and said with a smile: "It's rare to see a rare visitor."

The guy in front of me was asking for the position of City God directly with Da Li. If he was only given the title of City God of the county, he would continue to stay at the Earth Temple in Mantou Mountain and not move anywhere.

Promotion in Shanshui officialdom is a carrot and a pit, which is more difficult than filling vacancies in the imperial court. However, the Dali court really agreed to this matter.

Once upon a time, a young man who was only twenty years old helped the founding emperor of Shenshui Kingdom to conquer nearly half of the country's vast territory in less than ten years.

It almost unified the territory of ancient Shu in history. The Shenshui Kingdom at that time had a vast territory, including the current Sui Dynasty and Huangting Kingdom, and even the suzerain state of the Song Dynasty in Dali in the past, the Lu family at the northernmost tip of Aquarius Continent. The dynasty also has part of its territory, which belongs to the border states and counties of Shenshui Kingdom.

A famous general and founding hero of the country.

When he retired after his success, he seemed to be less than forty years old.

But this person's name is not unusual at all, Zhang Ping.

Now there are several people named Zhang Ping in Hongzhu Town.

At the first night banquet at Piyun Mountain in the North Mountains of Dali, the only landscape deity within the jurisdiction who was not present was the little land master from Mantou Mountain.

The outside world speculated that he was not invited because his rank was too low, but in fact, the first batch of invitations to the Tiger Mansion were handwritten by Wei Bo, and the person who invited him was Zhang Ping.

And Wei Bo was once the King of Dayue Mountain of Shenshui Kingdom. It's just that at that time, the Shenshui Kingdom was constantly split off, and its territory was greatly reduced.

After the Song Dynasty of Dali was established, Wei Bo, a remnant of the country's subjugation, was demoted again and again. From the king of Wuyue Mountain in a great dynasty, he was finally reduced to the land prince of Qidun Mountain.

Jin Qing, the tiger of the old Zhu Ying dynasty, was in a completely different situation. No wonder the two Dayue tigers were notoriously disliked by each other.

The Zhoucheng God asked: "Do you have a military book?"

Li Jin pointed to a bookshelf, "They're all over there."

Zhang Ping walked to the bookshelf, glanced at it a few times, and pulled out a well-engraved biography of the Twenty-Seven Histories and One Hundred Generals, which was about the famous generals of the Central Earth Divine Continent. He flipped through a few pages and put them back. , took out another book, as if he had found a biography of a famous general that he wanted to read, put the book in his sleeve, turned around and asked: "How much is it?"

Li Jin smiled and said: "I will make an exception and won't charge you any money. I will give it to you as a gift."

Zhang Ping didn't want to be polite and turned around to leave.

Li Jin waved and said, "Let's chat for a while. If I remember correctly, is this your first time coming to the bookstore?"

Zhang Ping stopped and asked, "What's going on?"

Previously, there was a lot of movement in the Hongzhu Town bookstore, and even the Chenghuang Temple in Zhouzhou City noticed the strange phenomenon here.

Li Jin smiled and said: "The great housekeeper of Luopo Mountain gave me two paintings. Master Chen came here not long ago to help with gold tracing and seal sealing."

Zhang Ping nodded and said, "Congratulations."

"The body retreats after the merit is achieved, which is the way of heaven."

Li Jin shook his head and said with a smile: "You are a soldier, but you look like a Taoist Qi practitioner."

Just like in that biography of famous generals, one of them is the god of death whom Zhang Ping highly admires, his surname is Bai.

Martial arts temples all over the world were built according to the etiquette of Confucian temples.

At the county and county levels, only the statues of the ten philosophers in the martial arts temple are hung. In the martial arts temples at the state level, if there is insufficient financial resources, the statues are hung. Those with the financial resources can make statues for the ten people in the temple.

The capitals and capitals of various countries were divided into ten people in the palace and sixty-two people in the two verandas, enjoying the incense of the world together.

It is rumored that the Zhongtuya Holy Mansion has a red-edged black-painted door with a Suan Ni inlay. Going around the screen wall, there is the Yimen. On both sides are two painted door gods of human height. A total of four martial arts temples accompany the saints. Four of the ten sages of the martial arts temple who had "flawless martial arts".

Li Jin smiled and said: "The one you admire is really too murderous and his methods are too cruel."

Zhang Ping said calmly: "I'm not even worthy of holding a horse for him. As for you, don't make any comments."

There are seventy-two generals in the Wu Temple, ten in the main hall, and sixty-two in the two verandas. Unlike the Confucian Temple, which has very few changes, the Wu Temple often changes its deities, which is quite frequent. However, generally speaking, the statues and statues are replaced by the candidates to accompany the worshippers. There is no big difference between Haoran Tianxia and the God Master. There is only one exception. He has been worshiping in the temple for a long time. From the earliest martial temple, he was the deputy worshiper of Shizhe. However, his status has been degraded again and again in later generations. He was first withdrawn from the main hall. He moved to one of the two mansions, and then his ranking became lower and lower, and he almost lost the qualification to accompany the two mansions. Now in the Martial Temple, he is only ranked among the fourth-class famous generals.

Aquarius Continent is a small place. In history, only one military general was selected into the martial arts temple. However, his time as a priest was extremely short and he was quickly kicked out because he was replaced by a famous general from another continent.

So much so that later generations of Aquarius Island did not even know that there was such a page in the almanac of the military strategist.

And this person is Zhang Ping from Shenshui Kingdom.

Li Jinxiao asked: "Where is the little guy who depends on you for life?"

Zhang Ping glanced at the Earth Temple in Mantou Mountain and said angrily: "The little boy went over there to order mao again."

Li Jin couldn't help laughing, "It's also a big good cause."

About two hundred miles to the west of Hongzhu Town, in the middle of the river where the water is vast and the water is stable, there is a lonely hilltop, commonly known as Mantou Mountain. There is a earth temple with a decent incense on it.

Now that Zhang Ping has become prosperous, this historic earth temple has not been abandoned. Although the golden body of the god has moved to the Zhouchenghuang Temple, it is like going down the mountain. There are temple blessings, guest rooms have been repaired, and under the desperate advice of the incense villain Then, I took out some money to repaint and gild the clay statue here. It finally looked a bit human-like.

There was a little incense man wearing a red robe with a white jade belt around his waist. He was about the height of a palm and was cursing. Zhang Ping was a bastard. He brought him here, but he left as soon as he said he wanted to leave without taking anything with him. Take a ride on your own.

No matter how you say it, you have survived the hard times and finally become prosperous and wealthy.

The boy in Zhu Yi stamped his feet fiercely because he suddenly remembered something and was speechless. What should he do? I need some mao today, is it still late?

It immediately used a magical power and issued a "legal decree" that could barely be regarded as an edict. A moment later, a three-foot-long cyan carp swam up, like a ferry docking.

The boy in red clothes jumped onto the back of the carp with a vigorous step, holding two fish tentacles in his hands like reins, cutting through the waves. When he arrived at Hongzhu Town, he hurriedly jumped ashore and walked around the pink and fragrant river. Many The Dali merchants who are outsiders all celebrate the New Year in the various state guild halls here. The little guy ran all the way to the vicinity of Qidun Mountain. The mountain god of the mountain is the "Song Jintou". Like his own City God, they are all stones in the stinking pit. However, the land man under the Song Mountain God and the second most powerful person in the Zhoucheng God's Temple are the old men. They met the incense man. He immediately looked flattering and without asking, he summoned a bucket-sized white snake. The boy in red clothes thanked him, jumped up on the snake's back, stretched out his hands and grabbed two snake scales. Speeding like lightning, I headed straight to Luo Luo Mountain, murmuring along the way, "I'll make it in time, I'll definitely make it in time, I won't fail." I've almost hit the 100th time on time...

When they arrived at the Luolu Mountain Realm, the white-flowered snake came back, and the boy in red clothes ran wildly with his head buried in the ground, his poor little legs dangling rapidly, like the wheels of a cart.

The little guy arrived at the mountain gate in a hurry. It was so late at night that he couldn't see the fairy guarding the gate.

The gatekeepers here at Luolu Mountain were first the witty brother Dafeng, then Cao Qinglang and Yuanbao who could only read some serious scriptures, and then the Right Protector who was very discerning, very knowledgeable about people, and very appreciative of himself. Sir, but now it is that young Taoist priest.

It looked around, gritted its teeth, lay on the ground, and slipped through the gap under the house door. When it reached the door, the boy in red clothes jumped up, knocked on the door hard, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xianwei Xianwei, Go to bed so early, sleep like a hammer, get up quickly, how dare you not keep vigil on New Year's Eve, do you know the rules..."

The little guy knocked on the door for a long time and said weakly and bitterly: "Master Xianwei, please open the door. Please, I know you are not sleeping. There is a fire in the room. Please, I sincerely mean it!"

He wanted to lie down on the ground and squeeze in through the crack in the door, but the result was no better than the big door. He was so crowded that his brain hurt and he couldn't get in. The little guy stood up, his eyes were dull, he beat his chest and feet, sat down on the ground, and started howling, his life is miserable. .

If that doesn't work, go to the mountain and look for Nuan Shu. She will definitely be keeping vigil today, and it's right on the first floor of the Bamboo House.

The only problem is that I don't know if my two thin legs will make it in time.

With a creak, Xianwei rolled up a book in his hand, opened the door, squatted on the ground, and said with a smile: "Finally you know how to call me Taoist Master Xianwei, tell me what you want to do when you come to the door in the middle of the night." "

The little guy straightened his back, put his hands on his hips, raised his head high, and said angrily: "What are you doing? What else can it be? Master, come here and order your thumbs on time!"

"Damn it, over at the City God's Temple, there are a bunch of official colleagues who came to my house to ask for dinner. It's not like you don't know that Zhang Ping is an unreliable master. He is a loser who doesn't understand the world at all. I can't help him. I was waiting for guests, so I accidentally got drunk, and then I went to Mantou Mountain. It was a good run, and I almost died from exhaustion."

Only then did Xian Wei remember that this little incense man seemed to really need to come to Luopo Mountain to light his incense today.

They really treat Luopo Mountain as a government office.

But the little guy is sincere.

Xianwei turned around and walked into the house. The little guy ran quickly, jumped to the edge of the stove, and squatted to warm himself up. For the boy in Zhuyi, the brazier was like a small volcano.

The little guy complained: "Zongzi, taro headlines, nothing, Xianwei, I'm not telling you, why are you so miserable and your salary deducted by the old cook?"

The Xianwei turned a deaf ear and took out a small booklet from the desk drawer. It was the size of a palm and was left here with millet grains. Each page was marked with a date. He asked the little incense man to circle it every time and it would be considered as if he had done it that day.

The boy in Zhuyi gave the order: "Hurry up, what are you doing standing there, waiting for me with pen and ink? With your understanding and eyesight, if you want to join the officialdom, you will be damned."

The Xianwei rolled his eyes at the little guy, bent down to pick up a piece of charcoal from the brazier, and threw it on the edge of the brazier. The little guy had to pick out a small piece of charcoal to use as a pen, with a serious look on his face. After drawing circles on the booklet, he felt relieved.

Xianwei threw the book back on the table, only to be scolded again. Just get used to it.

Xianwei sat on the small bamboo chair and asked curiously: "I never asked, what are you planning to do when you click on your fingers on time every half a month?"

The little guy was born in the city god's temple in the state. The city god's official rank in the Shanshui officialdom is not low. As the head of the city god in a state, Zhang Ping is in charge of all the city god's temples at the county and county levels, as well as the land lords and land ladies. The boy in red clothes in front of me,

The little incense man looked at the young Taoist priest with a look that looked like an idiot, "As long as I click the thumbs enough times, I will be promoted step by step. How can a man stay depressed for a long time?!"

Due to some strange combination of circumstances, probably because fate has not arrived yet, I have not been able to see that Master Chen. According to Captain Pei, if you click the button a hundred times at the mountain gate, you can take the initiative to say hello to the mountain owner when you see him again.

Xianwei couldn't laugh or cry, "Promoted? How big an official?"

The little guy was stunned, scratched his face, and immediately lowered his voice, "Anyway, we, Captain Pei and Lord Protector Zhou, have a clear conscience. I don't know. It seems insincere to never ask these questions."

That year, Zhu Yitongzi took over as the right guardian of Qilong Lane, replacing Zhou Mili.

Moreover, according to our Protector Zhou’s wishes in private, Pei Qian may set up the Chief Protector of Qilong Lane in the future, and he will have unshirkable responsibilities. I will take on such a heavy responsibility!

Over the years, in fact, their secret hilltop has only held one "Ancestral Master Hall" meeting.

This martial arts conference was huge and grand. In the square outside the Jise Peak Patriarch Hall in Luolu Mountain, there was a table and four benches, and the tables were filled with fruits and snacks.

The chief helmsman of Longquan County has now expanded his power horribly, and already has two branches under his jurisdiction, the Donghuashan branch and the Qilongxiang branch.

The chief helm leader's token was handed over to Pei Qian by Li Baoping, who took over as the leader and chief helm of the Wulin League.

Pei Qian is now the helmsman of the Donghuashan branch and the helmsman of the Qilongxiang branch. He holds two positions, with a high position and a prominent position.

After Zhou Mili resigned as the right guardian of Qilong Lane, he was promoted to the deputy helmsman of Qilong Lane and became a senior official.

As for the enshrined rudders, there are Chen Nuanshu and Chen Lingjun.

There is also a small school in a certain school under the jurisdiction of the Donghua Mountain Branch. The small helm is led by Li Huai, who is in charge of two minions. Liu Guan and Ma Lian, who are classmates of Shanya Academy, are Liu Guan and Ma Lian.

In that grand martial arts competition that year, the little incense man of Chenghuang Temple, who had no merit but hard work, was promoted to the right guardian of Qilong Lane, and was allowed to sit at the table to discuss matters by the sub-ruler Pei Qian as an exception.

That time, the chief helmsman Li Baoping and the honorary helmsman of Qilong Lane, Cui Dongshan of the Big White Goose, were both absent from the meeting.

As a result, Captain Pei, who was decisive in killing the big white goose and disowned his relatives, was given a major demerit on the spot.

As for the left guardian of the Riding Dragon Alley, hehe, he couldn't do anything, so he could only lie down under the bench next to the table.

The boy in Zhuyi said, "Let's crack some melon seeds."

Xianwei peeled off a melon seed and placed it on the edge of the brazier.

The boy in Zhu Yi nodded in appreciation and said: "Xianwei, let me have a heart-to-heart talk with you. When I get promoted one day, I will make a strong recommendation with Captain Pei and Protector Zhou. The free Protector on the right side of Qilong Lane This position belongs to you alone.”

Xian Wei smiled and said: "Should I thank you, or should I thank you?"

Tiger Jin Qing secretly left the Tiger Mansion and visited the Huangshan Sword Sect to find the swordsman Yuan Bai.

Yuan Bai joked: "Don't you want me to be a slave of those three surnames?"

Jin Qing said: "I think you should think about it carefully."

Yuan Bai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No matter who the first mountain master of the Huangzhu Sword Sect is, or whether I can join the sect in the future, I still hope to stay here."

"The lower sect of Luopo Mountain, Xiandu Mountain Qingping Sword Sect, will be the first swordsmanship sect in Tongye Continent."

Jin Qing continued to persuade: "Chen Ping'an values ​​you very much. It's not about the realm of swordsmanship or your identity. It's just the sympathy between swordsmen."

Seeing Yuan Bai smiling and saying nothing, Jin Qing said: "Don't get me wrong, I think you can help someone when you get there. I just think it's better for you to go there than to stay in this smoky Huangshan Sword." Pie is more comfortable."

In fact, according to the agreement with the young hermit official, Jin Qing should have first confirmed the restoration of the Dugu clan on the Ling River in the middle of Tongye Continent, and then came here to persuade Yuan Bai to dig into Zhengyang Mountain.

Yuan Bai still shook his head and said: "Forget it, I won't go to Tongyezhou."

Jin Qing nodded and asked, "Then I'll just fly my sword and send a message to Luo Po Mountain?"

Yuan Bai smiled and said: "Thank you Jinshanjun."

Aquarius Island Nantang Lake.

Mr. Qinhu is holding a white bowl with a drop of water in it.

A small drop of water contains 80% of the water of the old Nantang Lake.

If the sword fairy Shao Yunyan hadn't reminded her that she was not in harmony with the etiquette, otherwise she would have really wanted to secretly build a living shrine similar to a "family temple" and erect a memorial tablet for offering incense every day.

As the Lord of Yihu Water, in accordance with the current rules of the Dali Imperial Court and the Zhongtu Confucian Temple, he was allowed to open a mansion as a rule, similar to the Golden Elixir Earth Immortal Kaifeng on the mountain. This woman, Lady Hu, plans to ask Guanhu Academy and Shanya Academy for a sacrificial vessel from the Confucian Confucian Temple, and a book by a sage from the Confucian Temple.

Previously, she took the initiative to give up the merit gift from the young hermit official. Because it's not a business matter.

In Luzhou, Beiju, at Dadu Gongfu, Lingyuan Gong Shen Lin built a plaque overnight and hung it high, even higher than the Lingyuan Gongfu plaque.

Deyou Palace.

In the night, Shen Lin stood outside the gate of his mansion, looking up at the plaque handwritten by the young hidden official, squinting and smiling.

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

With a smile on his face, Shen Lin murmured: "A virtuous man travels to heaven, and the autumn moon is cold on the river. The sun and moon learn, and the traveler misses his hometown."

The Middle Earth Divine Continent is said to be the volcano complex where the Taoist ancestor’s alchemy furnace was located.

In a small wine shop, the woman selling wine smiled and said: "Ganzhou, do you want to recognize me as your master and learn immortal magic?"

The girl asked directly: "What's the benefit?"

Yang Zhi said: "I can teach you several water techniques."

The girl frowned and said, "I may not be able to appreciate the techniques of your Qi Practitioners, and even if I do, I may not be able to practice them."

This means that there are differences between gods and men, and there are different paths.

The woman smiled and said: "You can definitely practice. Maybe in the future you will turn from turbid to clear and become a god of river water, and you can continue to practice all the way."

The old mountain god Gong Xinzhou, according to the current golden and jade genealogy of the Confucian Temple, his rank is from the seventh rank, which is the clear official body in the officialdom of mountains and rivers.

The Chaoqiu Xiaohe Po in front of me, like He Bo and Tu Tu Ye, were all subordinate officials from Zhuoliu who were at the bottom, not as good as those county gods who were born in Qingliu.

There is no way, the young official warned, the old scholar also hinted.

If you don't know better, Yangzhi will worry about being put in the shoes.

Moreover, Chen Ping'an was accompanied by his "retinue" Qing Tong at that time, and it was said that Xiao Mo was now a close friend of the young hermit official.

The old scholar who regained his status as a literary sage came with the ceremonial sage.

Xiaohe Po asked: "Do I need to kowtow and serve tea during the apprenticeship ceremony?"

He raised his head and flapped his cattail leaf fan, smiled and shook his head and said, "Anonymous master and disciple, no need."

Xiaohe Po said boldly: "Why don't you write down your name? Just write down your name. You can get it right in one step."

Yang Zhi smiled, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay."

Afterwards, both parties drank a bowl of wine, and both parties became masters and disciples. It was very worry-free and labor-saving, and they had no appetite for Yang Zhi.

Before, Yangzhi asked Chen Ping'an if she could communicate with the Confucian Temple to see if she could be like the wild peach pavilion or Xiaomo, and be able to move freely in the vast world. She could make a commitment to the Confucian Temple. I swear, I will follow the example of Bai Ze, who is nominally imprisoned in a corner, so I can live up to my reputation, and will not make a big fuss every time I go out to travel.

Unfortunately, Chen Pingan did not give a clear answer at that time.

Although the Li Sheng came in person later, Yang Zhi did not dare to say this, as he was suspected of pushing the envelope.

What kind of temper the young master has, Fei Fei and other barbaric juniors can only hear about it at most, but Yang Zhi has seen it with his own eyes.

It should be noted that none of the earliest "scholars" in the world was a fuel-efficient lamp, and this young master, as one of the four candidates for the "Ten Greatest Talents in the World" in ancient times, is even more... difficult to describe in a word. Anyway, when the mountaintop monk from the Wild Monster Clan saw this little master, he only had one thought. It wasn't that he had to take a detour to avoid it, but... I shouldn't have gone out.

After Xiaohepo left the wine shop, a gentleman from the academy came with a jade pendant hanging on his waist. He did not hide his whereabouts, and his figure flew through the air and landed at the wine shop.

Gong Xinzhou, the old mountain god on the other side of Torreya Mountain, noticed the movement and glanced at the other party's figure. He was really a handsome young man rarely seen in hundreds of miles.

The gentleman from the academy said straight to the point: "Within a thousand years, without the permission of the Confucian Temple, you are not allowed to go to Nanposuo Continent and Fuyao Continent. The other seven continents, especially the three Guixu, are not allowed to go near. If you break the contract, you will be executed."

"But there is a prerequisite here. You must go to Tongyezhou immediately."

"Master Chen of Luolu Mountain will help you reserve a portion of the Yiluo River water transportation, but you need to use it to dig out the Great Dam in Tongye Continent as the price for your freedom for a thousand years."

Yangzhi asked: "Is that all?"

The gentleman nodded and said: "If you agree, I can immediately send a letter to the Confucian Temple and report the matter to the records."

Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment, "Is it accurate?"

The academy gentleman laughed dumbly, "This is a decision of the Confucian Temple, not a joke."

Dayue Juxu Mountain, an old Taoist priest left Huangliang Liquor Shop, rode a green bull, and rose up on the clouds to go to his home Taoist temple.

The Qingniu Taoist priest made a decision. The tiger Huailian was ignorant, but he had to pay attention to it. Anyway, it was just a stick of incense. It was the icing on the cake, so why not do it.

It would be a good idea to say hello to Fellow Taoist Chen and remind him that Pindao is currently practicing here at Juxu Mountain and he is welcome to be a guest here.

After the old Taoist priest left the night ship, he returned to Niaoju Mountain, the deputy mountain of Juxu Mountain, and opened a Taoist temple, which was the seat of this real man in the past.

At that time, the five great mountains in the world, the tigers and water gods were all assistant officials of their group of earthly immortals. To put it simply, thousands of years ago, the current tiger Huailian was nominally under his control.

Now, it's reversed.

Tongyezhou, Demon Town Tower.

The group of people arrived at the top floor.

The Most Holy Master leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "In the middle of Tongye Continent, the excavation of Dadu required great monks to work hard. Now we have Taoist Yangzhi and Nen, plus the support of fellow Taoist Qingtong. , get twice the result with half the effort.”

Chen Ping'an came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Maybe we need to discuss it with Lord Donghaihai."

Just now, Chen Ping'an separated his mind and gathered books and words.

Previously, the tiger king Jin Qing presented a tablet, which summarized all the cliff-engraved books and inscriptions and stone carvings on Zhongyue Mountain in the old Zhuying Dynasty. There were more than 2,000 tablets.

In the Ziyang Mansion of Huang Ting Kingdom, the sword box sent by Wu Yi not only contained an extremely rare sword pill "Niwan", but the sword box itself contained more than 60 treasures and true imperial inscriptions, which were also extremely precious.

In the Qililong waters of the Qiantang River, Chen Ping'an also collected poems by literati and poets from past dynasties, totaling 300,000 words, and won by quantity.

The Holy Master looked into the distance, "A long river of time is like two words."

Chen Pingan said: "Now."

The Holy Master sighed softly: "If you make mistakes, you will end up with them, and if you have troubles, you will end up with them."

Chen Pingan said slowly: "If a person is capable of one thing, he will be able to benefit from a hundred; if a person is capable of ten, he will be able to benefit from a thousand. That's all."

“A strong person can think a little more, a weak person can think a lot less.”

The Holy Master nodded, remained silent for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "I asked you earlier whether there are any sentences that you particularly like or dislike when reading books, so is there a certain sentence that impressed you the most?"

"some."

Chen Ping'an hummed and said softly: "The Yu family is poor and cannot write a book to read."

The Holy Master smiled knowingly, "This is a good idea, because it was also the biggest feeling for us 'scholars' back then."

As for the one in Chen Pingan, there are now several people in the world. If we leave aside the ruins of the ancient heaven outside the sky, there are no more than ten people who know about it.

Then don't forget, even if Chen Ping'an is the new person and the old person, one is still one.

Even if it is only half of the supreme existence back then, it is almost exactly half of the Zhou Mi that ascended to the sky.

The Holy Master said: "Chen Ping'an, you must guard your heart. At least until you reach the fourteenth level of sword cultivation, it is best not to let him go. Pay special attention to not letting him take the dominant position."

Chen Pingan said in a deep voice: "Fight for it!"

To say that he is half a monk in the fifteenth realm is nothing to be afraid of.

So what if you are half of the Sixteenth Realm?

The Holy Master stroked his beard and smiled, "Don't talk about Lu Chen, even I am afraid."

For example, there must have been such a person in the Mud Bottle Alley, who asked Dao Ancestor to give way.
