Sword of Coming

Chapter 1009 Dao Hairpin

Chen Pingan and Xiaomo walked onto an arch bridge and stopped.

On the Changpu River, a sudden breeze came, and the water was covered with scales and golden light shimmered.

Xiao Mo asked: "Master, are you worried?"

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to hold down the railing, "I'm trying to estimate how much money we can make by opening a restaurant here in one year."

Xiaomo laughed dumbly.

Guimai Small Courtyard on Osmanthus Island, Yuying Cliff and Xiaoying Shop in Chunlu Garden, and Tianfu Water Island in Longgong Cave, which was bought with only 80 grain rain coins.

In addition, when Jiang Shangzhen served as the head of Zhenjing Sect, he once allocated five islands and gave Luolu Mountain an enclave, but it was temporarily under Zeng Ye's name. Of course, there was a secret record in the Dali Ministry of Rites. So Luolu Mountain can be taken into the pocket at any time.

Today, Chen Pingan has a lot of private property.

Chen Pingan turned to look at this "entourage" with a yellow hat and blue shoes, and joked: "I will give you a hiking stick and a bamboo box later. When you go out, you will look more like a weak scholar on a study tour." .”

Xiao Mo nodded and said: "Then Xiao Mo takes it seriously. If the young master accidentally forgets this matter, Xiao Mo will shamelessly remind the young master."

Chen Ping'an said: "Liu Qi, who was sent back to Haoran in the past, used magic against magic to block her return, preventing her from escaping into the Guixu passage. Now she seems to be banned by the Confucian Temple in a place where it is said to be the Taoist ancestor in the past." In the volcano group of the Alchemy Furnace, if we have the opportunity to travel to the Middle-earth Divine Continent together in the future, I can take you to talk to her for a few words."

Xiao Mo thought for a while, raised his hand and pressed his hat, "Actually, there is nothing to reminisce about with Yang Zhi. But that Zhu Yan is really annoying. He seems to be reckless in his words and deeds, but in fact he is shrewd and calculating. Back then, Xiao Mo and others were relatively upright. All of his old friends had suffered losses at the hands of Zhu Yan, and they had suffered quite a lot, so when Xiao Mo woke up this time, he originally planned to return to the earth. First, he would try to gather together the old six-dong men. The second thing was to get two friends together. To watch the battle, I have to fight with Zhu Yan Wenjian."

It's said to be asking for swords, but of course it's a siege to get rid of Zhu Yan. Otherwise, why would Xiaomo drag along two old friends.

If the news is accidentally leaked and Bai Ze or Tuo Yueshan stops him and saves Zhu Yan, then he will find another chance next time.

Perhaps this is the unique style of behavior of the top throne in the wild world. That unruly attitude is engraved in his bones.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "The ancestor who moved mountains challenged three people, what a heroic spirit."

When Xiao Mo heard this statement, he was filled with admiration. As expected, his young master was very knowledgeable and could speak well.

Chen Ping'an said: "Xiao Mo, let's go to the Xianjia Inn where the Earthly Branches monks belong."

Xiao Mo nodded and said: "It's just right. I can thank the shopkeeper girl and give her a robe that I knitted last night. Master, is this appropriate?"

Chen Ping'an said: "Don't reach out to hit the smiling person, let alone a gift giver. There is nothing inappropriate. Whether the other party accepts it or not, you are suitable anyway."

During this trip to the Great Li capital, the most important natal porcelain has been taken care of. There is also an unexpected surprise. I followed the clues and found out the ancestor of the Lu family in Middle-earth, Lu Wei. As the old saying from my hometown goes, don't be afraid of bad things early. , Good things are never too late.

As long as Ning Yao's retreat ends, Chen Ping'an will leave the capital. However, some things still need to be finished, such as Nine Realm martial artist Zhou Haijing. It is a foregone conclusion that she will join the Earth Branch lineage. Her current hesitation is just out of her usual caution. , but as long as Zhou Haijing still wants to seek revenge against Yu Hong, who is the first-class enshrinement of Da Li, and the kind of revenge that pleases people, she will definitely join the Dizhi lineage and find for herself a card that is better than the first-class innocent card of the Xingbu Department. Big amulet.

Furthermore, when he returned to the capital of Great Li this time, Liu Gao asked for two seals from him, indicating that the contents of the seals must be "Sword Immortal" and "National Master".

The head of the Zhao family in Tianshui, the founder of the Yiguange style and a well-deserved master of calligraphy, gave "Liu Ka" two calligraphy and painting tubes of calligraphy and painting, as many as twenty-two, especially the " "Yuanjia Qingyi Tie" is amazing.

Chen Ping'an just reciprocated the gift of seals from both parties. This kind of reciprocation is indeed the more the merrier.

Ning Yao was still in retreat, so Chen Pingan stopped going to the next door room to carve seals, fearing that it would distract her.

But if he were to do this in Renyun Yiyun Building, Chen Ping'an would be a little awkward, not to make people laugh but to be generous. After all, senior brother Cui Chan's calligraphy skills are known to the whole world and are one of the three magnificent things. The Xianjia Inn is more suitable for seal engraving.

After leaving the brightly lit Changpu River, he and Xiao Mo walked to a relatively secluded alley. Chen Ping'an used his water cloud body to hide himself, and used the wind to go to the Xianjia Inn.

The two parties dropped down and came to the door of the inn at the end of the alley. It was similar to an inn for Qi practitioners to stay and rest. There were seven or eight places in the capital of Li Dynasty. Chen Pingan could guarantee that this place would definitely be the one with the least business. ,none of them.

Xiao Mo took the lead and walked to the door where two highly painted door gods were posted. He gently clicked the gold-plated animal head ring. After knocking slowly three times, he waited for a long time before walking out of the inn. The proprietress, Caiyi, is a ghost in the Golden Core realm.

When Chen Ping'an came here for the first time, this "painter" female ghost gave him a big blow.

Gaiyan saw Chen Ping'an tonight. It was obvious that a ghost was seeing a human being, but she was just like a human being seeing a ghost.

Chen Ping'an joked: "Business manager Gaiyan is as frugal as ever. He is not willing to spend the money to hire a concierge for his own inn. No wonder the business is so good."

Gaiyan's smile was far-fetched, "Returning to Shanzhu Chen, the inn has actually been looking for someone, but they just haven't found the right candidate."

This was really not a lie. Regarding the inn concierge and maid, she had discussed it with Han Zhoujin and Yu Yu. Han Zhoujin wanted to find some decent-looking women as Qi practitioners, as long as they had smart hands and feet. , have a gentle temperament and don’t cause trouble, so there is no need to care too much about their appearance. However, Yu Yu said that this would not work. Of course, they must find some charming women with breasts that can kill people. In the end, the two sides did not come to an outcome, so the matter was shelved for the time being. .

Gaiyan took the two of them to an unused courtyard.

During the period of Xiaomo, Gaiyan gave Gaiyan a robe, which was placed in a pocket green bamboo tube.

Gaiyan was so greedy that she accepted it without saying a word and refused without any politeness.

Chen Ping'an's original intention tonight was just to find the prince Song Xu or the young man You Cun and ask them to tell the other monks. Anyway, the Communist Party didn't say much.

Unexpectedly, tonight, nine monks from the Earth Branch lineage would soon gather together. For example, Ge Ling and Xiao Shami got the news at the last minute and hurried from the Daolu Academy of the Capital and the Scripture Translation Bureau respectively. As for Yuan Huajing, Several of them left the Luosi Dojo inside the inn, and when they arrived, they all looked at Chen Pingan with a strange look.

Because here at the inn, a confidential intelligence report from Rizhui Ferry was just obtained during the day.

Over there in the wild world, two truly major changes occurred.

Following the three sword cultivators Chen Qingdu, Long Jun and Guanzhao, thousands of years later, the Great Wall of Sword Qi once again asked the sword to return the gift to Yueshan.

In the end, a Tuoyue Mountain disappeared and disappeared.

In addition, after Dong Sangen pulled the moon and fell into the world, there was a bright moon, which was moved to the Qingming world by several sword immortals.

As a result, in today's wild world, there is only one moon left in the sky.

Yu Yu asked cautiously: "Mr. Chen, is that right?"

The girl, who had always been bold and daring, used a vague statement.

According to the Dali spy report, it seems that there are two "Chen Ping'an" appearing in the world at the same time, one each in Haoran and Manhuang. The key is that both of them are extremely high, or extremely high. According to Qin Tian The inference from the prison side is that it may be the legendary Fourteenth Realm...

The only difference was that the Taoist Chen Ping'an, who was wearing a lotus crown, carried a sword on his back and teamed up with several sword immortals to go deep into the hinterland of the wilderness, while the green-shirted sword immortal who traveled south to various parts of Aquarius Continent alone did not carry a sword.

Chen Pingan asked: "What?"

Yu Yu blinked.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Just say so."

Then Chen Ping'an got straight to the point: "I'm here today to tell you three things."

"First, the rules remain the same. As long as they are within the rules set by Senior Brother Cui, I will not interfere too much with your practice, let alone tell you how to act outside. But if any of you is willing to fly the sword and pass the message Ji Se Feng, you are welcome to ask Luo Po Shan for advice on how to practice. You can tell me everything you know."

"Secondly, about every ten years, I will ask the Ministry of Rites and Punishments for a resume, entry and exit, and examine your cultivation achievements. Whoever reaches the Jade Purity Realm will be exempted from the evaluation as an exception. "

"In the end, I have the final say whether the first two will count or not."

None of the nine Earthly Branch monks had any objections.

No matter how proud and arrogant they are, they are really not worth mentioning in the face of this being who once toyed them with applause.

Just like Yuan Huajing, who had a strong desire to win and lose, now he has completely lost his temper to compete with Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan said that he would stay here for a while and let them go back to their respective places to continue practicing.

As for the young monk who always stood behind Chen Pingan with a smile, no one could see the depth of Taoism, and no one dared to explore it casually.

We can only learn from the landscape information from the Ministry of Punishment today that this humane name is Xi Zhu, his name is Stranger, and he is a new registered minister of Luo Po Mountain.

Stranger went to the palace with Chen Pingan not long ago. There is only so much news.

I heard from Gaiyan that a stranger came to the inn last night, claiming to be Chen Pingan's follower. In addition to converting the immortal money, he also asked for an extra bag of golden melon seeds.

It's another weird thing that cannot be inferred by common sense.

There are many mysteries in the Luolu Mountain, and the secrets are bottomless. It is now a consensus on the Aquarius Continent Mountain.

Just like the protector named Zhou Mili, he was the most secretive, because in that ceremony, it seemed that the right protector of Luolu Mountain was the only one who hid his cultivation state and did not reveal the mountain or the water. It's terrible.

Therefore, there are different opinions on how high the realm of that "little girl" is. Some say that she is at the base of Jade Pu realm, while others speculate that she is an immortal. Earthly Immortal? Is he blind, or is his brain flooded? How can you survive in Luo Luo Shan, where martial arts masters and Yuanying monks are worthless? Is he worthy of being worshiped as a mountain protector?

Besides, the young man in white with the mole between his eyebrows and the chief worshiper named Zhou were obviously extremely respectful to the right protector.

Chen Ping'an sat on the steps and took out two plain seals from something close by. Back then, he and Yan Zhuo were doing business together at the Jianqi Great Wall, and there were still a lot of stone seals left behind.

Then he offered a copy of the Sword Immortal Flying Sword from Hate Sword Mountain, coughing thunder.

As for the pine needle imitated from the "Gu Cui" sword, it had been crushed by Pei Min with two fingers.

Chen Pingan held Ke Lei as a carving knife and began to carve the margin, which was exactly the content of the "Yuanjia Tsing Yi Tie", and finally the word "Sword Immortal" at the bottom.

As for the second seal of "National Hand" on the bottom, the side stamp is a number from the family motto of the Zhao family in Tianshui. What Chen Pingan likes most is that the weather should be clear and high, the knowledge should be profound and far-reaching, and the person should be strong and sincere. , the color should be soft and bright.

The seals of these two parties were inscribed "Chen Shiyi" and "Luo Luoshan Chen Ping'an" at the end of the margin.

It took half an hour of Chen Pingan's time.

If we were at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, since the seals rarely have margins, it is estimated that there would be seals from twenty parties.

Putting away the flying sword, Chen Pingan held the seal in each hand. He lowered his head and breathed lightly, blowing away some debris and dust in the gaps between the seals. He raised his head and said with a smile: "This is called worthless, ten thousand gold is worthless." Sell."

Xiao Mo said: "Young Master is too modest."

Putting the two seals into his sleeves, Chen Pingan took out a piece of white jade Ganoderma lucidum. Seeing Xiao Mo curiously looking at the two lines of inscriptions, he simply handed it to Xiao Mo. Chen Pingan explained with a smile: "The movement technique I used when I came to the inn earlier , I learned from the old owner of this white jade Ganoderma lucidum."

Xiao Mo saw the beautiful meaning of the inscription and praised it endlessly.

A man who has been crystal clear and flawless for thousands of years, the home of the fragrance of orchid for hundreds of generations.

It is a perfect gift for my son.

Giving gifts like this is considered the realm.

Therefore, I must meet that generous immortal master if I have the opportunity in the future.

Chen Ping'an learned from the cloud-water body of the Immortal Yunqiao of Jiuzhenxianguan. The meaning of this method comes from the dense bamboo that does not block water, and the high mountains that do not block clouds.

Yun Jie also has a magical power that is at the bottom of the box. It is known as the "Water Essence Realm" on the mountain. It is a small world of its own, which is quite impressive.

When he was in the fourteenth realm of Lu Shen, Chen Ping'an was traveling around Aquarius Continent. He made the best use of everything and did not waste anything. He checked out several paintings related to Yun Tie from Xinhu Library. The time scroll of the battle, the stone from other mountains can attack the jade, the derivation of the method, the evolution of this method, Yun Jie's self-created water essence realm, already somewhat similar, this matter is more complicated than the reversal of the secrets of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain That minefield is much simpler.

After a battle on the river in Yuanyangzhu, the suspicious immortal Yunqi received a secret letter from Chen Ping'an. Yunqi quickly replied respectfully and sent a piece of white jade Ganoderma lucidum with the rank of a half-immortal soldier as a gift. Forest.

When traveling to the Divine Continent of Middle-earth in the future, if Chen Pingan had a conflict with anyone, no one would believe him if he said sincerely that I am not Yunqi.

Xiaomo returned the white jade Ganoderma lucidum to Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan held the white jade Ganoderma lucidum and gently tapped the palm of his hand.

After the selection of the next sect's location was completed, and he practiced in seclusion for a period of time, striving to return to the Nascent Soul Realm and the True Realm level, Chen Ping'an planned to take Liu Jinglong with him to travel around the world. The route is almost the same as Luzhou in the north, Aaizhou, Zhongtu Shenzhou, Posuzhou in the south, and then go to Fuyaozhou, all the way to Jinjiazhou and Liuxiazhou in the north.

In addition to the northern boundary of Beiju Luzhou, Chen Ping'an was actually very familiar with it, and Aai Aizhou, the Liu family of the God of Wealth, and the Lei Gong Temple in Pei Axiang were all visitors.

As for the Middle-earth Divine Continent, there are more places that need to be visited or visited along the way, such as Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, Laokeng Blessed Land of Fu Lu Yuxuan, Tianqing Divine Mountain in Zhuhai Cave, Daduan Dynasty where Cao Ci is located, Yu Panshui was the mysterious dynasty of the Supreme Emperor...not to mention the many beautiful places recorded in the two immortal books "Shan Hai Zhi" and "Bu Zhi".

Chen Ping'an looked up and saw a flash of light in the night not far away. There was a Taoist who seemed to be fleeing against the wind. Then there was a sword light following closely behind him, instantly pulling out a golden lightning that was a hundred feet long.

The Qi Practitioner fled hastily, changing his route several times, but was still wrapped around his ankles by the ever-present golden rope, and was then violently dragged to the ground. Neither the one escaping nor the one pursuing was the Earth Immortal cultivator.

The place where Jianguang and the Qi Practitioner fell together was only about a mile away from the inn. Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Idle time is also idle, let's go and see the excitement."

In this strict and strict city of Li Capital, there are still qi practitioners who dare to control the wind and volley without permission and fight with others?

The only people who can hang in the air here, apart from the royal family members of the Song family in Dali, are the Wushi Pai owners who are recorded in the Ministry of Punishment in Dali.

For example, every time Chen Ping'an travels in the capital, he has to show off with a piece of the Ministry of Punishment's "Nothing to Do" card.

He and Xiao Mo moved together, shrinking down the mountains and rivers, and came to the place where the sword light fell.

Dali Capital occupies a huge area, and the inn here is neither rich nor expensive. It is only slightly better than where Zhou Haijing stayed in the capital.

There seemed to be a group fight on the street. Two big gangs, Wuyangyang, were facing each other. It looked like they were all members of the Jianghu. It doesn't look like someone who just went to a table to drink after making some harsh words, and is about to get serious about it.

The two groups of people together, even excluding the hidden stooges secretly mixed in with the flow of visitors, must have numbered 140 or 50 people.

Chen Ping'an squatted on the outside wall of a house, with his shoulders hunched and his hands in his sleeves, like a farmer looking at the fields.

Xiao Mo sat aside and found that there were many people coming here to watch the excitement in the nearby streets, and they were not afraid of trouble at all. Instead of closing the door to hide from trouble, they came in swarms because the far-escape qi practitioner was killed by the sword. It was pulled back to the ground, and the sound of falling to the ground was not small. In addition, the two groups were confronting each other in the street. It was so noisy that even those who were sleeping in the nearby houses and houses had to be woken up.

In the middle of the street, the man who used the flying sword was a short old man in brocade clothes. He held his hand behind his back, made a hand with his two fingers, and shook it gently.

The victory is guaranteed, the old god is here.

The hair on the top of the old man's head is sparse, like a dry field without water from the canal. There are only a few weeds, far apart from each other.

But compared to the rice fields after the autumn harvest, it is still slightly better.

But if we follow Xiao Mo's words, this old man with an unassuming appearance looks arrogant and arrogant.

Because the old swordsman did not put away the flying sword, the golden light formed by the flying sword still wrapped around the opponent's ankle. As the old man moved his fingers together, the young monk who was detained by the sword light had a sword energy around his ankle, and he was young. The man had a look of pain on his face, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but he didn't beg for mercy, he just stared at the old man fiercely.

Xiao Mo glanced at the confrontation between the two groups of people on the street and asked: "Master, if you are so provocative and disturbing the people in the middle of the night, the capital's Yamen will not care about you?"

As for this battle between immortal masters, it must have been illegal, but I don't know how the Yamen will deal with both parties afterwards.

Chen Pingan said softly: "As long as there is no murder, it is not a fight with weapons, both sides fight with bare hands, and the government will probably turn a blind eye. The capital of a country is often a mixed place, with sects and martial arts schools. Escort bureaus, bank accounts, canal transporters, horse and carriage shops, and even thieves all have their own ancestors, mountain sects, and branch names. I heard an anecdote from shopkeeper Liu before, saying that this place in the capital city Over there, there is a guy who owns thirty-seven capital excrement channels, and he makes more money than opening a restaurant over the Changpu River."

Of course, there are also some young people who are just starting out, with youthful spirit, relying on their toughness, and always regard government laws as nothing, and regard eating a few more prison meals as their qualifications in the world.

Chen Pingan said: "Xiao Mo, help me listen to what the old swordsman said."

Xiaomo nodded.

The young monk turned livid with anger, "It's a despicable method to frame and blame!"

The old swordsman laughed loudly and said: "If there is an injustice, why are you running away? Why will the Punishment Department Yamen still wrongly accuse you? You are obviously a thief with a guilty conscience."

At the same time, he said in his heart: "I'm just afraid that you won't run away. If not, I really can't do anything to you."

The old sword cultivator shook his head and said: "As a cultivator, I control the wind above the capital without permission, but I am violating the ban first-class. Why bother? It's not like I can't sit down and chat slowly. Gang Leader Fan is the most reasonable person."

The words from his heart are different, "Little bastard, I will keep you tonight. Even if the Ministry of Rites convicts you later and the Ministry of Punishments holds you accountable, it will still be much better than you."

Open your eyes and tell lies, and smart people tell foolish things.

After that war ended, the Great Li Dynasty still had strict control over the Immortal Family on the mountain. However, now the Song Dynasty was very open-minded and tolerant towards Jianghu affairs and people in the martial arts. The yamen did not care much about Jianghu affairs, so the Jianghu sects of Dali sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain. Many Dali accompanied the knights from various countries south of the capital and went north together with the merchants.

Sensing Xiao Mo's inquiring gaze as he turned around, Chen Ping'an said calmly: "It's easy to confuse the good and bad of people with the right and wrong of things. The laws of the Great Li Dynasty always treat things differently than people."

There was a martial arts gym nearby, and a group of young and strong men came. The martial arts gym had strict rules, and there was a night ban. The master did not allow them to cause trouble outside, so they could only sneak out to join in the fun. At this moment, when I looked up, I saw that someone had already climbed on the wall first. One of the powerful young men asked: "Brother, where is this place?"

Chen Ping'an moved to Xiaomo's side to make some space, and said with a smile: "It's just the two of us, you can do whatever you want."

One by one, they rushed forward towards the top of the wall, jumped up high, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and then suddenly lifted their breath, reaching the top of the wall.

It was a long-simmering dispute between the Jianghu sects, but it was just a twist, and somehow it got involved with these mountain gods who were flying high in the clouds. It was like dumplings taking turns in the pot, and the opportunity was rare.

The man asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you also a practicing master?"

Breathing calmly, with a lot of energy.

Of course, if you can climb this high wall, you will definitely not be the kind of scholar who is powerless.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "After practicing boxing and kicking for a few days, I can learn some martial arts. My family is doing business and I need to travel around a lot. I have some skills to keep me safe."

Next to that man squatted a young martial artist, secretly turning his face and returning martial arts. He must be a rich man who had read a few bad books.

The man continued to ask: "Brother, have you ever heard about our Yangyuan Martial Arts School? Although our master Wu is not very old, he is a well-known hero in the arena around Gyeonggi."

Chen Pingan said: "I am ignorant."

Regardless of whether the gym owner is a good man or not, the martial arts gym is definitely short of money anyway.

Otherwise, you won't have to recruit anyone you meet on the street to join the gang and use them as the money bag of the culprit.

Jianghu sects need financial sponsors, which is actually similar to the temples of landscape gods that need a few big pilgrims.

Seeing that the man seemed to be uninterested, the man refused to give up, "Brother, have you ever heard of the hero Situ Qiuting, nicknamed the 'Six-Armed Divine Fist'? He was a martial arts master named Dong Dali. He is the handler of our area in the north of the capital, and we have to approach him to resolve any disputes between the government and the government. Our tavern owner often drinks with Situ Daxia."

Chen Pingan nodded. He had actually heard of it. In fact, the other party was not that old. He was just a pure martial artist who got a sum of medicine money from his founding disciple. He didn’t know what this six-armed divine fist hero was thinking. , and seemed to enshrine the bag of money. If Pei Qian had the temper he had when he was a child, this hero would end up in a dire situation.

However, it is indeed enough for a golden body martial artist to wander around the world.

I remember when I mistakenly entered the Lotus Root Blessed Land, a world under heaven, a master seed, and a sword sharpener Liu Zong. They were not yet able to reach the golden body realm warriors at that time. Of course, the old temple master did this intentionally, and the great avenue of the blessed land suppressed it invisibly. related.

The man asked: "Brother, are you a foreigner?"

Chen Pingan took out his sleeves with both hands, turned his head and clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I have a good sense. I am indeed a foreigner from a small place. My surname is Cao and my name is Mo. We are friends with each other."

The man nodded, pretending to understand. He didn't know the words, but he didn't hesitate to call her.

Chen Pingan smiled and added, "It's spit."

A handsome young man walked out of the street. He was twisting a wine pot with his fingers. He was drunk, wearing a crane cloak, and his eyes were blurry.

The man's eyes lit up, "Brother Cao, our capital city is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Not to mention a group of old masters who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts. Their attacks are as powerful as thunder, and they are not inferior to the gods on the mountain. There are also four great beauties, and four The young masters are all gifted. They are the geniuses who learn martial arts. For example, the one in front of me is one of the young masters. He and Brother Cao are both foreigners. They have only been in the capital for three to five years and have made a big name. , it is said that he often goes in and out of Chier Street."

Qi practitioners only see the mountains, while martial arts practitioners only see the rivers and lakes.

The junior brother next to the man, the senior brother listened to so many storytellers in Tianqiao and restaurants, and he didn't spend money in vain.

A young man from a martial arts school stood on the wall. He twisted his butt, and a fart popped out.

The man turned his head and laughed and cursed: "If your fart doesn't stink, it won't make a sound. It's better to be on your side. I asked you not to eat the garlic cloves as food. It's okay now. Even a fart can kill someone. Just take it easy, kid. Listen." The daughter of this family is said to be weak now, so if you make such a big noise, you might scare her soul away."

"Liu Xiaokui, please keep your mouth clean, what nonsense are you talking about!"

It turned out that inside the house, two young girls were about to set up a ladder to lean against the wall. A frail woman was twisting a handkerchief, gently holding it against her nose, frowning slightly.

Two maid-looking girls on the side were responsible for holding the ladder with their hands so that their young ladies could take a look at the scene outside. One of the maids was more aggressive. She had her hands on her hips and glared at the man on the wall who couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth. Facing each other.

But none of the three people chased anyone away.

Another maid quickly reminded: "Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, if the master finds out, we will be left with nothing to eat, and the lady will be grounded."

The man named Liu Xiaokui turned around and squatted, and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Miss Fengsheng? I heard that you hired a Taoist priest to perform the ritual, and now the house is peaceful? Does the Taoist priest who came to help perform the ritual to exorcise evil spirits have any traces on him? Giving an ultimatum? I don’t look like a serious person, so don’t let your money be cheated. If you ask me, just ask our host to help keep a vigil for your family. Sit over there, and just rely on our host’s With his yang energy, all dirty things will be scared away, and you won’t have to spend any money. How about it?"

The maid spat, "Liu Xiaokui, you know nothing. Apart from a few kilograms of shank meat, what else do you have? A small martial arts school that only knows how to cheat money can't care about the things on the mountain that only immortal masters like this can care about!"

Liu Xiaokui smiled, not annoyed at all, and didn't say anything back. He just stretched his neck and looked at the girl's breasts. From here, the scenery was unique.

While listening to Xiao Mo's narration of the heart-felt conversations and gatherings on the other side of the street, Chen Ping'an turned to look inside the house, a little confused. It's okay for an ordinary small country's capital to have some foxes, ghost houses, or lewd things. The gods are causing trouble, but in this great city of Li, there are ghosts wandering around? In addition to the Du Chenghuang Temple and the Du Di Di Temple, there are many other yamen here. Just the wandering gods of the day and night can make the ghosts and ghosts unable to eat and wander around. How can they dare to wander here wantonly? It is like a little thief who is not a good person. , openly at the gate of the county government office in broad daylight, challenging the county lieutenant who specializes in catching thieves, arrest me, are you going to kill me?

In this house of a well-to-do family, there is indeed a trace of evil spirit, which circulates erratically, but it is very faint. It has to avoid the places where the door gods are posted, and only lingers in the shadows of the house. The yang energy is slightly heavier. If you are someone else, you can let them get out of the way. Chen Ping'an looked at the expressions of the three women at the corner of the wall, and there was nothing strange about them.

When this happens, one way is that someone is weak in body, has an unstable soul, and lacks Yang Qi, and violates taboos outside the home, inviting what the people call dirty things into the house. The other way is that someone in the family has bad morals, causing the house to lose the protection of the ancestral shade. . It's just that for this family, the two situations don't look alike. This is most likely the Taoist priest's trick of leaving with his left hand and entering with his right hand. He is specifically looking for these wealthy families with a small family background to make some noise first and scare people so that they can defraud money.

Just like the door god can stop the evil spirits, but cannot stop the ghosts in the human heart.

The plump maid covered her breasts with her hands and glared fiercely at the row of sparrow-like figures on the wall. Among them were two unfamiliar faces, especially one of them. At this moment, she was looking into her courtyard. He turned around and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, I think that guy who hangs out with Liu Xiaokui is not a kind person."

Chen Pingan looked back and smiled.

Implicated.

Xiao Mo smiled and retorted: "Young lady has misunderstood my young master. My young master is a gentleman."

The girl sneered and said: "Haha, only the gentleman in the Liang Dynasty is the right one."

At the same time, Xiao Mo relayed his thoughts, "Hey, he is so handsome and bookish. Could he be a foreigner who came to Beijing to take the exam?"

Chen Pingan was puzzled.

Xiao Mo smiled and explained: "It's the voice of this Fengsheng girl."

Chen Pingan silently wrote down the faces of the Qi practitioners and "ganghu masters" on the street, and then asked: "Xiao Mo, can you find the guy who makes a lot of money?"

Xiao Mo nodded and said: "Easy."

Chen Ping'an said: "Then move the place and let's go meet this Taoist priest who 'makes money rightly'."

For some reason, Chen Ping'an always felt that this was a temporary blessing or misfortune... opportunity. Not big, not small, dispensable, ethereal.

For Chen Pingan, this kind of mood swings is extremely rare.

Even when he met the self-proclaimed "poor guy who couldn't keep money" Xun Qu, Chen Ping'an only realized afterwards that Xun Qu was actually the reincarnation of a god.

After being taken to an ordinary inn nearby by Xiao Mo, the two of them appeared out of thin air outside a slightly shabby house. The door bolt fell off on its own. Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment and pushed the door open.

There was a young Taoist priest sitting cross-legged, wearing an old Taoist robe washed white. He was reading a Taoist book at night. There was a bowl of wine and two plates of appetizers on the table. When Chen Pingan and Xiao Mo showed up, that one The young Taoist priest slowly turned his head and said calmly: "We're finally here."

Chen Ping'an narrowed his eyes after hearing this opening statement.

The young Taoist priest still didn't get up, he just raised his head and looked at the two guys who crossed the threshold. Among them, the young man with the yellow hat and blue shoes closed the door.

The young Taoist priest closed a poorly engraved Taoist classic in his hand, sat motionless as a mountain, leaned forward slightly, and bowed his head, "Fu Sheng Boundless Heavenly Lord."

Then he put his fingers together, gently moved an empty wine glass forward on the table for a few minutes, stretched out a palm towards the two uninvited guests, and said with a carefree smile: "Yunshui people, those who come are guests, only turbid wine One drink, a poor person, and a poor reception. As for the two of you, who is drinking depends on your fate."

"Young master, you look like a monk in the lower fifth realm. He looks calm on the surface, but in fact his heart is trembling and he is very panicked."

Xiao Mo said from the bottom of his heart: "Unless...unless he is a great Ascension Realm monk who is better at hiding his identity than Lu Wei and Cao Rong, and he must be at the pinnacle of the Ascension Realm, and he prefers to play in the world."

Chen Pingan sat expressionlessly across the table from the young Taoist priest, took the wine glass, picked up the wine flask, and silently poured himself a glass of wine.

The young Taoist priest shook his head and said with a smile: "The immortals on the mountain are not ignorant, but the common people in the world are stubborn and foolish."

He stretched out another finger and tapped the rim of his wine glass gently, "I have been serving for a long time, and it is not too early to enter the mountains."

Xiao Mo stood behind Chen Ping'an, confused. Is this guy in front of him playing tricks?

"Ouch, it hurts."

Suddenly, the young Taoist priest began to grin. It turned out that Chen Pingan came to him and grabbed one of his arms.

Chen Ping'an said: "We are from the Yamen. We know what you have committed."

The young Taoist priest turned pale and said loudly: "I was wrong! I shouldn't have gone to that house to pretend to be a ghost..."

As soon as he heard that the two men were government servants, the Taoist priest couldn't pretend any longer. He poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told them his trick of deceiving and abducting them.

Coming from a vassal state in the middle of Da Li, of course there are no Taoist priests, and they dare not wear Taoist crowns casually. After all, pretending to be a Taoist priest who travels all over the world, and pretending to be a Taoist priest from a certain Taoist lineage, the difference between the guilt and the guilt is huge. , one is under the control of the imperial government, and the other is under the control of the immortal master of the Taoist sect on the mountain.

Chen Pingan let go of his hand and glanced at this bold young Taoist priest. No matter how he looked at him, he couldn't tell the slightest clue.

The young Taoist priest had a mournful face, rubbed his arms, feeling the pain, and asked timidly: "May I ask these two officials, with thirty taels of silver, how many times will they be beaten in the Yamen of Dali Jingcheng, and how long will they be in jail?"

This guy, whose real name is Nian Jing, whose courtesy name is Xianwei, and who also named himself "Taoist Priest Xu Xuan", seems to be a habitual offender.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Taoist Master Xuxuan, you earned thirty taels of silver from that ritual, how many taels do you have left now?"

The young Taoist priest glanced at the books and wine flask on the table and said, "The capital is very expensive and there is not much left. Only seven or eight taels are left."

Chen Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth, and the young Taoist priest immediately changed his words and said: "If I go back to the official, if I add my savings, I will have twenty taels of silver."

Chen Ping'an began to look around. The young Taoist priest sniffed and said with a trembling voice, "There is also a gold ingot."

Xiao Mo thought it was a bit funny, this kid didn't feel happy even when he pooped.

Just for a moment, Xiao Mo was about to take a step back subconsciously, but with his extremely tenacious Taoist heart, he resisted and did not move. Xiao Mo came to Chen Pingan instead. Just when he was about to say something from his heart, he never thought that Chen Pingan had already spoken. Said: "It's okay. I already know."

Xiao Mo used his natal flying sword for the first time, and he used four of them at the same time.

Chen Ping'an reminded from his heart: "Put away the flying sword."

Xiao Mo hesitated to speak, but seeing his young master's firm expression, he had no choice but to put away the flying sword silently.

It turned out that the young man pretending to be a Taoist priest had a wooden Taoist hairpin in his bun, which was simple and unique.

That hairpin looks so familiar to Xiao Mo!

Although the wooden hairpin on the head of the young Taoist priest in front of him was definitely not the one from back then, the mere fact that it was the same style made Xiao Mo's heartstrings vibrate.

Chen Ping'an was still sitting where he was, with no change in his expression.

Perhaps this was the reason why he personally cut the Immortal Hairpin City into two parts in the wild world?

"It seems you have guessed Pindao's identity."

The young man smiled, stood up slowly, shook the sleeves of his Taoist robe, and was about to speak, but he started to say oh, it hurts, it hurts, my hand is about to be broken, please forgive me...

I was complaining endlessly in my heart. No matter how good I was at observing words and expressions, no matter how eloquent I was in talking nonsense, I couldn't bear a single word of pain. These people in the government are just reckless, like to use violence, and are so uncivilized...

After leading the "Taoist Priest Xu Xuan" out of the inn, the young Taoist priest slung his parcel across his body and of course did not forget to pay the room fee at the counter.

The young official with a bad temper said that he wanted to move to a more spacious place to live. The young man sighed, the prison food was not good.

Inexplicably, he gave him a yellow paper talisman, saying it was a Yang Qi Lantern Talisman, and asked him to go to that house tomorrow and post it at the door of the ancestral hall.

I thought I was going to the Yamen, but I didn't expect to walk all the way in twists and turns. The young Taoist priest was sweating profusely from walking, and finally came to an alley. The young Taoist priest suddenly stopped and looked panicked. He took the initiative to take off the package and handed it to The guy next to me, who called himself Cao Mo, chattered his teeth and said, "You can cheat, but don't commit murder! Including that gold ingot, all my belongings are worth less than a hundred taels of silver. There is no need to commit murder!"

When it came to the end, the young man leaned against the wall and started to cry a little.

Liu Ji and Zhao Duanming stayed inside the Baiyu Dojo, watching the show outside the alley. The master and apprentice looked at each other. Did Mr. Chen bring back a living treasure?

"You can keep the baggage for yourself. I don't like this little money. Nian Jing...forget it, it's more convenient to call you Xianwei. As for your real name, just keep it for now."

Chen Pingan waved his hand and said with a smile: "By the way, I am from the mountains. From now on, you will follow me to practice Taoism."

The dumb and speechless Xianwei seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, and he was doubtful in his heart. Could it be that there is a mountain higher than the other? Did he encounter a master of lying? Besides defrauding money, what else does the other party do? The question is, what else can he do? He is not a woman... When he thought of this, Xian Wei glanced at Cao Mo's entourage and suddenly felt sad. He threw the baggage to Cao Mo and sat down on the ground. I won't move even until I die.

With a dark face, Chen Pingan had no choice but to raise his hand and pull out the Five Thunder Seal from the palm of his hand. The light flowed and shone through the alley.

Xianwei was in a daze, and suddenly came to his senses. Ma Liuer picked up the baggage from the ground, slung it across his body again, and followed Cao Mo to the alley. A true man, even if he walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire, he didn't even frown.

"Master Cao, could it be that in the market, you fell in love with my immortal roots at a glance? Do you think I am the kind of person who can be made?"

"May I ask which mountain mansion in Aquarius Continent Master Cao comes from? But that legendary land immortal who can raise his hand to catch the moon and stars?"

"Master Cao Xian, why don't I just call you master? The red tape of worshiping a master, serving tea, and hanging a statue can be relaxed for a while. Master, do I have a senior brother or sister now? When can we see each other?"

Seeing that the god on the mountain didn't answer anything, the Xianwei touched his belly, gritted his teeth, changed his name to Master Cao, and asked tentatively: "Is there anything to eat? After walking all the way, I'm so hungry."

Chen Pingan took out the key, opened the door of the house, and said with a smile: "Xiao Mo, go buy a midnight snack and come back."

Xiao Mo nodded silently and disappeared in a flash.

In the front yard, Chen Pingan asked Xianwei to stay in a wing temporarily and asked him not to wander around and stay in the house honestly. Chen Pingan walked to the alley again and chatted with the master and his apprentice. After that, he handed the seals that the two parties had just completed to Liu Gao to help deliver them to the head of the Zhao family in Tianshui.

Returning to the front yard of the house, the "young Taoist priest" was engrossed in eating. Xiao Mo stood at the door. Chen Pingan glanced at the Taoist hairpin again before returning to the library.

Nothing happened all night.

After Xianwei had eaten and drank enough, he tossed and turned, and finally drifted off to sleep.

The next day, the young Taoist priest discovered that Cao Mo had disappeared. He was indeed a mountain god with an unstable temperament and mysterious whereabouts. The only person in the yard who called himself "Xiao Mo" accompanied him to the house. The Xianwei had his own explanation, and then he gave Master Cao the lamp-carrying talisman as a gift to him and pasted it at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and that was all. Then Xiao Mo grabbed his shoulder and felt like it was soaring in the clouds. When he looked again, he came to a Xianjia ferry outside the capital, Jiansu Ferry. The name was not very pleasant, but Xianwei knew why he named it that way. , the Dali frontier army has fought many battles in the past hundred years. The reason why he slept in the open air, walking all the way north to the capital of Dali with only one pair of feet, wasn't he sincerely fascinated by the invincibility of the Dali cavalry?

It's just a penny that stumps a heroic man. If he really had money, why bother to deceive him? He would have spent a lot of money in the restaurant on the other side of the Changpu River.

Xiao Mo just asked Xianwei to stand where he was. The latter took a closer look and found that there was a fortune-telling stall in the distance. It was the Xianshi Cao who had changed his clothes and wore a green gauze Taoist robe. There was a fortune teller on the table.

Here at the ferry, the sky was slightly brighter, and the stall at this moment was actually doing business. She was an ordinary-looking woman with two children, a pair of boys and girls with somewhat similar eyebrows, and the three of them were sitting there. Sit on the bench in front of the stall.

Standing next to him was an elderly butler.

But a little further away, there seemed to be two burly men with sharp eyes. They were undoubtedly the nursing home.

Xianwei still has some good eyesight, the woman's demeanor, and the two servants' vigorous aura. All in all, it seems that they are not an ordinary family, and they may be from some general family in the capital.

Cao Xian's Master Council is really powerful, his Taoism is indeed better than mine. It’s really not a loss to recognize a master.

Chen Pingan previously traveled to Aquarius Island, and made a special trip to the hometown of General Su Gaoshan on the way. He did not build a mansion or a big tomb, and his family did not ascend to heaven. The relatives and relatives have only changed from poor families to well-fed people. Farming and reading heirlooms.

At this moment, the fortune teller who called himself "Taoist Priest Xu Xuan" was interpreting the fortune teller for the woman, which was used to calculate the future of a long journey. Fortunately, one of the fortune tellers won the lottery. The woman listened carefully and looked at her with a bit of joy.

In addition to the pre-agreed fortune, the woman gave an additional ten taels of silver.

The young Taoist priest smiled and took out a white jade fortune sign from his sleeve, then patted his head and said that good things come in pairs. He took out another fortune sign and said it was for your noble son and your daughter. .

May you be blessed with good fortune and good health, be prosperous and prosperous, may all your gains be as you wish, and share the fragrance of orchids across thousands of miles.

The roots are strong, the leaves are luxuriant, the rain moistens the crops, the home is safe, and the descendants are happy.

When the woman saw the inscription on the blessing sign, she was delighted and accepted it. She took out a snowflake from an old embroidery bag and placed it gently on the table, "I beg you, Taoist Master, to accept it."

But the Taoist Priest, who was young but well-spoken, gently pushed back the fairy coin and said with a smile: "Opportunity is something that cannot be bought with a million dollars. Madam, there is no need to be polite, just treat it as a good deed."

Xiao Mo asked from the bottom of his heart: "Master, will the Song family of Da Li have any thoughts on doing this?"

Chen Pingan replied: "Then let them want to go."

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded slightly, because the two children beside the lady had a pair of red lanterns hanging behind them.

There is a string of golden words on each lantern, secretly made by Jise Peak Patriarch Hall, and signed by Chen Ping'an.

There is a private seal printed on it.

Hidden official.

The lady left the fortune-telling stall with her two children, but she did not forget to ask them to thank the young Taoist priest.

After walking for a while, the woman seemed to have a few words with the old housekeeper, and then she learned the truth. She suddenly turned around and saw that the young Taoist priest with a jade hairpin on his head had stood up, with his hands in his sleeves and a smile on his face. , waving goodbye to them.

The woman stopped, turned around, and gave the young man a long blessing from a distance.

The man took a step back and bowed in return.

Although she is a first-grade imperial concubine of the Dali imperial court, a woman who doesn’t know much about government affairs and battlefields. In fact, she only found out today that the last hidden official of the Great Sword Qi Wall was also from our Dali people.

In the early morning, the moon sets and the sun rises, and the climate is fresh.

Just like a person walking at night, wearing the stars and the moon, it is dawn.
