Sword of Coming

(This is a big chapter of 27,000 words, so the update is a bit late.)

The mountain light suddenly sets, and the moonlight gradually rises.

Let the world light a lamp in the sky.

A Peijiang River meanders into the sea, with rich water vapor. There are sixteen large and small docks along the river section for ferry boats to dock on the mountain. Business is prosperous. Around each dock, there is a small town built on the water, as big as Sophora japonica. In the county town, after night falls, the lights are as bright as day. There are many martial arts halls on both sides of the river, and there are many martial arts halls. Even in the eyes of the newly-introduced Earth Master Kanyu family, it can be seen that the martial arts here is extremely powerful, the best in the continent.

Wu Shu has been traveling to other continents for more than twenty years, and now he has returned to the wild world. In addition, this martial saint is too careless about recruiting disciples, so he has only accepted one disciple. Therefore, the only martial artist in Tongye Continent is There is only one Ye Yunyun left, which gives Pushan a very high reputation now.

"Yizhou Boxing is only found in Pushan."

Pushan Yuncaotang is indeed worthy of this praise. Every year, it teaches boxing on the Beginning of Summer and Beginning of Winter according to ancestral tradition. Except for the secret technique of Yuncaotang, which does not teach the stance, the rest are not secretive and are willing to learn from anyone. Martial arts from all walks of life are taught to each other. At the same time, every Pushan martial artist who comes down from the mountain will hold three public martial arts performances to learn martial arts or give fists to others. If a foreigner with the same martial arts status wins, he can He won a lot of favors and was invited to Yuncaotang as a guest.

It seems that the bright moon in the sky loves the water here. The river is covered with bright moonlight, like a Milky Way on earth. The night is quiet, the river breeze is gentle, the scenery is pleasant, and the heart is relaxed and happy.

A tourist boat traveling down the river, with only two floors above the deck, one dwarf. As long as there is a passing cruise ship passing by, it is often a situation where others lower their heads while I look up.

At an open-air tea stall on the second floor, Chen Pingan asked a tea lady for two pots of mountain tea, a pot of Yunwu tea and a pot of Laocong Narcissus. She also gave some pastries and fruits for free.

The tea lady on the ferry just tried her best to sell this narcissus tea, saying that it is a famous rock tea from a fairy mountain in Aquarius Continent. It is extremely difficult to obtain. A tea tree that takes a hundred years is called tall and a thousand years old, so the price is expensive. If The guests think the taste is average, but if they say something bad, Lou Chuan can give them half the price.

Judging from her posture, if she doesn't order a pot of Lao Cong Narcissus, she probably won't give me fruit snacks.

Chen Ping'an was smiling. It was Dong Bancheng, a fellow countryman, who was responsible for this.

Spring water, tea, Xianjia wine, tea and wine utensils, all items that have become famous in Aquarius Continent in a few years, especially those with high quality and high price, it is estimated that at least half of them are inseparable from Dong Shuijing.

Tea is of course good tea. Xu Yuanxia's unpublished landscape travelogue specifically records this kind of Lao Cong Narcissus. The problem is that Brother Xu could afford to drink Lao Cong Narcissus back then. The price of tea in the local area is high and low, but Just imagine.

In the end, we just moved to another place along with the cross-continental ferry. A pot of tea here costs two snow coins. Even if you are really thick-skinned and say that the tea tastes average, you still need one if you get half the discount on the ferry. Snow money?

Dong Shuijing, who is extremely talented in business, has to start in the Ascension Realm.

Chen Pingan took out the last Zuowangdan from Qinghu Palace from his sleeve and swallowed it with tea.

There is no need to doubt the follow-up pills from Qinghu Palace. One or two batches of Yuyi Pills will definitely be delivered to Xiandu Mountain soon.

With the way Old Immortal Lu lives his life, not to mention Chen Ping'an himself, together with the lower sect, in the next few hundred years, they will not worry about running out of Zuowangdan.

In the words of Old Immortal Lu, it is your own good things. Of course, you should stick to your own family first.

It's okay, Luolu Mountain and Qingping Peak will reciprocate their love. In the future, the landscape aura of Qingjing Mountain will only be more abundant than when Qinghu Palace was at its peak.

After passing three docks and about two hundred miles of waterway, you can reach the mountain gate of Pushan Yuncaotang.

Pei Qian asked: "Master, can we at Luopo Mountain learn from the fact that Yuncaotang warriors go down the mountain to feed people with fists?"

Chen Pingan nodded, "Of course you can learn."

Cao Qinglang said: "The prerequisite is that the martial arts style is very good, the martial arts on the mountain are strong enough, and when dealing with people at the foot of the mountain, the words cannot be too casual. How can I put it, the boxing is in the ring and the boxing is also outside the boxing, otherwise it will be clearly taught The punches are serious and the punches are given cautiously, but just because one or two sentences are wrong and people misunderstand, it will lead to acrimony, not to mention smashing the sign, there will be constant disputes, and enemies will be made everywhere. It will not take a few decades to be isolated by the world. Get up. When the time comes, we obviously have good intentions, but when we turn back we are met with bad words, no one can bear it. If we go back and forth, one party will despise the other party for having no conscience, and the other party will feel that the other party is overbearing, and the two will become disgusted with each other."

Pei Qian said: "Isn't our family's family tradition good?"

Cao Qinglang smiled and said: "Everything will be successful if you are prepared, and if you are not prepared, it will be ruined."

Chen Ping'an took a sip of tea, nodded and said with a smile, "That's all good."

What kind of trick is this? Both the first disciple and the proud student are indeed good.

The river breeze is gentle and the waves are sparkling. After winter, tourists will not feel cold even on the boat.

This is due to the thick roots of Pushan, which makes the surrounding mountains and rivers still warm even when the snow melts, just like a natural ground cage incense burner.

The Ye family of Yuncaotang is also recognized as a big landowner on the mountain. He owns many land titles. Even the two small country mountains and two large lakes are actually the private property of Pushan.

Four people gathered around the table to drink tea. Chen Pingan raised his legs and took out the dry tobacco stick. It was made of ordinary green bamboo in the mountains. The cigarette holder came from the Longxu River and was carved from a white jade stone. Chen Pingan pinched a bag of golden shredded tobacco into a piece. Small group.

There are only two situations when learning from Old Man Yang to smoke dry cigarettes. Either you need to think about things with your mind and think about all the long-term and immediate worries. Otherwise, it will be like now, with nothing to do and nothing to think about today.

Xiao Mo took advantage of the bright moonlight to drink tea while reading a novel written by literati who wrote about the mysterious and mysterious world. There was an allusion to the Peijiang River in it.

Because on the main road of Peijiang, there is a water temple with a long history in the source and the tail, respectively dedicated to the East China Sea Woman and Qinghong Lord. The most surprising thing is that different temples, but the local people have different views. It is a joint sacrifice to two water gods, which is somewhat similar to the Tu Gong and Tu Tu Po in some earth temples. According to the book, the water goddess whose temple was built at the source of the Peijiang River was formerly a dragon girl from the East China Sea. She loved writing and calligraphy since she was a child. However, because of the aquatic spirit of the dragon family, she was born unable to "carry words", so she He often led the maids of the Dragon Palace to transform into mortal ladies, traveling by boat across the sea and the Peijiang River. He asked the scholars who borrowed the books to help them copy the contents of the books, and kept them in the library of the Dragon Palace boudoir, so that they could show off to their peers. Unexpectedly, she attracted the attention of a land tiger, who coveted her beauty. He ordered his troops to intercept at the mouth of the sea, and asked Shanyue's subordinate Qinghong Hongjun to take the lead and overturn the dragon boat. After the tiger succeeded, the golden house concealed the beauty and imprisoned the dragon girl in Pei. A palace was built for her at the source of the river. Because every time the dragon girl complained and cried, the Peijiang would cause floods. The tiger had no choice but to allow her to look at the sea in the distance at the temple where the Peijiang enters the sea every ten years to relieve her homesickness. Feelings……

Xiao Mo raised his glass and took a sip of the unique Yunwu tea from Pushan and Peijiang, and said with emotion: "What a hateful tiger, he covets beauty and abuses his official tools. I pity the dragon girl, who is homesick and unable to return home."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Xiao Mo, you can walk alone to the Qinghong Temple at the mouth of the sea. Anyway, it's only seven or eight hundred miles of waterway. It's here in a blink of an eye. What's the truth? I met the two parties at the same time. I'll know it face to face. .”

Xiao Mo said: "Let the young master finish talking to Pu Shan first, and then Xiao Mo will see if there is a chance to visit Qinghong Temple."

Pei Qian said: "Different from Mr. Xiaomo's notes on the strange monsters at the foot of the mountain, there is actually a different version of the legend on the mountain. It is said that the dragon girl was trying to escape from marriage, and she was unwilling to leave Peijiang because she had long had a crush on the Qinghong Lord. If you belong to someone, please ask the tiger to cooperate in a play. The tiger takes pity on the two of them, but as the tiger of Dayue, it is inconvenient to quarrel with the forces of the Dragon Palace. In addition, the Qinghongjun under his command has a golden statue. It’s not enough. It’s not right to marry the noble Dragon Girl. The Dragon Palace is very powerful and pays attention to bloodline. This marriage is absolutely not allowed, so I have to be the villain and bear the infamy.”

Cao Qinglang nodded and said, "This statement is more reliable."

Xiao Mo suddenly said: "In this way, the tiger is respectable, and the dragon girl and Qinghong are very happy. Although they are not married, it is indeed a fly in the ointment, but in the end it is far better than being separated from each other, but the two sides have to The river and the sea are forever separated.”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said nothing, just puffed away his breath leisurely. If the millet grains were here, there would definitely be more to talk about.

The Pushan Yuncaotang that the group is about to visit has a line of martial arts similar to the Lei Gong Temple in Aaizhou. Although it is famous in the continent, it is a small boxing type that is extremely difficult to spread. The threshold is high and the harvest is difficult. Tu Yan, it is very difficult for those who want to learn boxing to gain access to the palace and have profound boxing skills.

The incense at Pushan Yuncaotang is somewhat similar to the Banzisun Jungle of Buddhism and Taoism. Yuncaotang has always been named Ye, just like Yunku blessed land has always been named Jiang. Because Ye Yunyun, the contemporary head of the Ye family in Pushan, likes to wear yellow clothes, she is nicknamed Huang Yiyun.

Previously on Tongyezhou Mountain, ten historical figures of Yizhou Martial Arts were selected.

There are only two people alive, except Wu Shu, the martial sage who wears a bamboo sword and a wooden spear on his back, and Ye Yunyun, who likes to wear yellow clothes.

A man and a woman, two masters of martial arts, have no records of boxing so far. They are like water in a well that does not interfere with the river, each of them controls half of the continent with their boxing.

It's just that the former likes to travel alone, and his reputation is mixed with praise and criticism. Naturally, he is not as responsive as Huang Yiyun and Pu Shan were in Tongyezhou, and the shadows gathered in the crowd.

Privately, the monks on the mountain actually had quite some complaints against Wu Shen. The reason was that this martial arts leader neither cared about his family nor cared about his family. After a great battle, from beginning to end, he only gained fame in the mountains and rivers of other continents, punched fiercely, and killed monsters constantly, while watching the mountains and rivers of his hometown fall into ruins.

Pei Qian said softly: "Master, this Senior Ye, last time we met at Huang Heji's side, it seemed that he was just a bottleneck in his energy and his foundation was average. Even if he barely made it among the ten people, he should be ranked at the bottom, or at most ranked. We should not be ranked sixth when we are eighth or ninth."

In the Shanshui Di newspaper, there were actually many immortal masters who defended Huang Yiyun. They felt that this ranking was too low and that she should be ranked after Wu Shu.

Pei Qian felt that this kind of thing was a piece of cake.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If you add Grandmaster Ye's Jade Pu Realm cultivation, ranking sixth, it won't be a big problem."

But if we were to judge purely on the basis of martial arts, as Pei Qian said, martial arts master Ye Yunyun would be ranked at the bottom.

This kind of thing, to put it harshly, means that today's people bully the ancients and they won't speak up.

On the other hand, Wu Shu is ranked fourth, which is not a big problem.

The founder of Pushan Yuncaotang, the genius who created Pushan Boxing with the help of six immortal pictures, is actually only ranked fifth.

Ye Yugu, the warrior who has stopped the journey, ranks third in the Ye family ancestral hall that enshrines gods and performs sacrifices according to time. He is also revered as the ancestor of Immortality.

This man once made a huge name in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, and later he had a very impressive comment, "A single person, with two armies, he can defeat three continents."

The so-called three continents were his hometown Tongye Sect, plus Aquarius Continent and Beiju Luzhou in the north. As for Aquarius Continent at that time, it could only be regarded as being used by La Zhuang Ding to make up the numbers.

In Chen Ping'an's view, if nothing unexpected happened, Ye Yugu had not yet reached the final level of martial arts when he was at the peak of his martial arts. It is probably because he could not break through the bottleneck of the Guizhen level that he once traveled the world in exchange for a powerful atmosphere. Ye Yugu, but the results were not great, he had to transfer to the Yupu realm, and entered the upper five realms as a monk. Ye Yugu can naturally have extra lifespan, hone his skills with water, and slowly build up his physical foundation. , look for opportunities to make further progress on the road to learning martial arts.

But the fact that Ye Yunyun only wore yellow clothes reminded Chen Pingan of Little Treasure Ping.

I don’t know which master or prophecy is involved in this Huang Yiyun.

Chen Ping'an's thoughts wandered far away. His Qingping Sword Sect in Xiandu Mountain was not like the Shang Sect in Luolu Mountain and had the suffix "Sword Sect". However, from the current view, Cui Dongshan intended to build the lower sect into a behemoth. Of course you must have swordsmanship. This is the unshakable foundation of a swordsmanship sect for thousands of years. However, there are more various types of Qi practitioners. This is what a large sect on the top of the mountain should have.

There are often hundreds or even more than a thousand people on the mountaintops of larger sects, such as Zhengyang Mountain. The Shen Gao Sect of Aquarius Continent has a middle-rank Qingtan Blessed Land, and the sect has even as many as two thousand registered disciples, while some large sects of Zhongtu Shen Continent, plus the lower sects and vassal mountains, can have as many as Of course, tens of thousands of people cannot all be Qi practitioners. They include the families of the immortal masters in the mountains, as well as the servants, maids, cooks and servants at various peaks and immortal mansions.

It can be roughly divided into the direct descendants of the ancestor hall, the inner gate, and the outer gate, which are like a palace city, imperial city, and outer city of the capital. Together with the surrounding vassal hills, it is the capital of the capital. If there is a lower sect, it will be built similarly. A companion capital.

A few people in the mountains are like water without a source.

However, if the mountain gate does not have the inheritance of several superb Taoist methods, it will be a tree without roots. It will also be unable to retain the immortal talents for cultivating Taoism, and it will also be difficult to flourish.

Just like the rain-praying stele and Taoist formulas that Chen Ping'an buried next to the river shrine, it is most suitable for the cultivation of earth immortals. And many mountains in the world will have one or even several ancestral Taoist methods and immortal tactics. It can help disciples to gain enlightenment as soon as possible. After becoming a Qi practitioner, they can also enter the cave realm as soon as possible. They can climb mountains quickly and have steady steps. These fairy secrets and Taoist secrets are known as the "opening method" and "leading the way" respectively. It directly determines the depth of the foundation of an immortal sect, and can attract a large number of Taoist embryos to work together to break through the realm in the early stages of mountaineering.

Similar to the Rain Prayer Technique, it is a mountainside Taoist method that can avoid the hidden danger of a sect being out of business.

In fact, if Chen Ping'an really wants to do everything possible, there is a way that has immediate results and a shortcut in front of him.

The white-haired boy in Qilong Lane who is still just a "disciple who does not record genealogical records" has inherited most of Wu Shuangjiang's memories, except for some undisclosed secrets about the removal of the palace. The secret technique blocks the memory like a mountain, but it is still very impressive in the field of "Miscellaneous Studies". Therefore, the white-haired boy himself is like a secret storehouse of Taoism that is half a year old. However, Chen Ping'an is neither willing nor suitable to open this mouth. .

The former demon "Konghou" who was the palace maid Xiu Tianran was just a guest at Luopo Mountain.

Whether it is Luolu Mountain or Qingping Sword Sect, they both have a long way to go and a promising future.

There was a woman at the table next to her. She frowned slightly and waved her hand to disperse the smoke.

She had tolerated the man at the next table for a long time, and the smoke swayed in the wind, causing most of the aroma of the tea on her side to disappear.

It's just that it's not appropriate for her to say anything about this kind of thing. It's like drinking in the same restaurant. If someone makes a loud noise, it's only at their own wine table.

Chen Ping'an noticed the woman's movement, quickly put away the cigarette stick, and cast an apologetic look at her.

The woman smiled slightly and nodded in greeting.

She thought for a moment, then held the bamboo hat in her hand as a return gift.

After all, they are all monks on the mountain traveling abroad. It is already rare for the man in green shirt to be willing to show weakness like this.

According to some Shanshui Di reports from other continents, if it was Luzhou in Beiju, it would be considered polite for the other party not to bang the table but to just say "What are you looking at?"

Therefore, today's Tongyezhou monks, even if someone travels across continents, will first choose South Posuo Continent, and will never take the initiative to go to the two northern continents.

He probably discovered that the guest in green shirt was as timid as a mouse, and he was definitely not a genealogy master from the Great Immortal Family.

Therefore, there was another table of tea-goers not far away, and a tall and powerful man asked: "Young lady, you are very talkative. Who gave you the qualifications to dare to point fingers at the rankings of these martial arts masters on the top of the mountain? "

If you are really rich, who would choose this little broken boat to enjoy the scenery along the Peijiang River? This was not the case for my group. They were Mr. Yuwen, who was born in a noble family in Tianhuang and was an accomplished Taoist monk. In order to understand the sufferings of the people, it would be no problem to just use a talisman boat on the mountain to travel across the Peijiang River. As a retinue, the man was a six-level warrior who was only half a step away from the title of grandmaster. In addition, he was also an admirer of Huang Yiyun, so of course he couldn't stand a young woman talking nonsense there.

With such a loud tone, why don't you go and have a boxing match with Huang Yiyun? Not to mention Lord Ye Shan, I can't even see him. He is a disciple of her direct disciple Xue Fuzi. If there is a boxing contest, don't be beaten to tears when the time comes.

Pei Qian said calmly: "Teacher."

There was a handsome young man at the table, who seemed to be the leader. He held a folding fan and hung a cute peach wood sword fan pendant with golden silk thread. He asked with a smile: "May I ask the girl what her name is? Who is her teacher?" ?”

Pei Qian said: "We meet by chance in the rivers and lakes, and we meet by chance. Why ask for your name?"

The man who spoke first couldn't stand the way a little girl spoke in such an old-fashioned way. He banged his teacup on the table and said with an angry smile, "Who gave you the courage to talk to Mr. Yuwen like this?"

Pei Qian squinted at the man and said with a smile: "Fists and kicks."

The man laughed angrily and feigned anger: "Who taught such a shrewd bitch?!"

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Me."

Previously, at Yeyundu, which was only in the name of Lingbi Mountain, Chen Pingan made a lame excuse, saying that he had fallen in love with something and changed his mind to buy it. He turned back alone, used Yun Shui Shen, and went to the prison where Qi practitioners were imprisoned in Lingbi Mountain. He went to meet the man who dared to take advantage of Pei's money in the shop. He didn't take any money and taught him a "traveling skill" for free. The simple truth is that if you can’t take care of your eyes, you have to take care of your hands.”

By the way, I asked about the origins of this group of people. It turned out that they belonged to His Royal Highness the Prince of the old Xia Dynasty, which had a hard time recovering the country. There were as many as twenty royal servants like them who went out to make money, and each of them also had responsibilities. On a secret mission, he recruited the immortal masters of the old genealogy who had been displaced by the collapse of the mountains, as well as the wild cultivators of the mountains and rivers, and the heroes of the green forest who had fallen into trouble. After a trip to the "capital", registering with the Ministry of Rites and registering in the household registration, you can reach the sky in one step and immediately become the enshrined master of the Great Xia Dynasty, eat royal food, obtain an official status, and enjoy peace and prosperity.

Probably the immortal master who traveled down the mountain from the table had never seen anyone chatting like this before, so he found it interesting and less irritating.

There were already people around who couldn't help laughing.

Among them, two women at different tables, with full eyes and affectionate eyes, looked at the same person by chance.

The person they were peeping at was Cao Qinglang.

What a handsome man, gentle and elegant, with a bookish air.

As for the other two men at the same table, they were not bad in appearance, especially the man with a hosta on his head and a green shirt and long coat... It was a pity that he was a bit older.

The young man named Yuwen held a folding fan in his hand, clasped his fists in his hands, and said with a smile: "Don't mind your unintentional remarks."

Chen Pingan raised his tea cup towards the table, indicating that it was okay.

The cruise ship is near a dock.

Since boxing is in Pushan, then if a foreign martial artist wants to be famous for boxing, of course it will only be in Pushan.

There is a water-side arena built next to the dock. It is made of black and white mountain stones and is paved with a large picture of yin and yang fish, which is extremely solid.

There happened to be two long-established martial arts masters, both of whom were in the Golden Body realm and worthy of being called masters. The two parties met here to compete in martial arts tonight.

A middle-aged martial artist, whose skills were inferior to others, was hit hard in the chest by an old man with a two-handed cannon hammer. By coincidence, the man flew backwards, and his back directly hit a passing colorful boat. The old man's fist It was extremely heavy and the man could not unload all his strength. A large boat was knocked out of the water instantly, flipped several times out of thin air, and the tourists on the boat fell into the water like dumplings.

There was no need for the master to say anything. Pei Qian's figure was no longer visible at the table. She put one hand against the big boat that was about to tilt and fall into the river, and gently pushed it to place it safely on the river.

Those who fell into the water in the Peijiang River were pulled by fists one after another. The drowned chickens were dragged back to the boat one after another as if they were being grabbed by their collars.

Pei Qian pressed his palm again to break up the turbulent waves that were contained by his fist, so that they would not affect his cruise ship.

Returning to the cruise ship, before sitting down, he saw the two warriors, one stepping on the river and the other in the ring on the shore, clasping fists with him from a distance to thank him. The middle-aged warrior standing still treading water had a sincere expression and invited Pei Qian to come ashore to talk. , Pei Qian just clasped his fists and regarded it as a polite refusal.

The Immortal Master who dialed the genealogy began to feel restless, especially the man who had had a "small talk" with Pei Qian. Until this moment, he really understood what it means to be a disciple, fists and kicks, and what it means to meet by chance without asking the name.

This little girl is actually a martial arts master from the Far Traveling Realm? !

Chen Ping'an joked with the immortal masters at the table: "It's just a matter of effort, don't take it too seriously."

The young man named Yuwen felt a little awkward and relieved at the same time.

Let's just say that the two women who originally fell in love with Cao Qinglang at first sight, and looking at the man in green shirt with a jade hairpin on his hair, they don't seem to be too old.

It's a pity that in the Pushan realm, no immortal master is allowed to open the mirror, flower, water and moon.

As for the disciples of Pushan Yuncaotang, practicing in the mountains must be focused and not distracting, and all kinds of landscape paintings are banned.

Therefore, the Confucian Temple's previous ban on Tian Xia Di Bao had almost no impact on Pushan disciples. Only those disciples who were able to go down to the mountain to experience it would feel a little regretful.

The family rules are strict and the family tradition is strict. No one inside or outside Pushan dares to violate the rules.

Chen Ping'an landed at a dock. There were still more than twenty miles of mountain road to go from the mountain gate of Pushan Yuncaotang.

And the Pu Mountain itself is not really a big mountain, and its scale may not be as big as the Prince's Mountain of a small country.

In fact, a group of people led by Mr. Yuwen were supposed to disembark here, carrying a secret letter written by the emperor to discuss important matters with Mr. Xue of Yuncaotang.

It's just that the young man hesitated for a moment and decided to get off the boat at a dock ferry and take a detour so that he could see more scenery.

Xiao Mo carried a bamboo box on his back and held a hiking stick in his hand. He tapped the green bamboo stick gently on the ground and asked with a smile: "Sir, it's rare to see a sect like Yun Caotang that combines immortality and martial arts, right?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and pointed at Pei Qian, "You have to ask her. Pei Qian has traveled to more continents and has wider knowledge."

Pei Qian was a little embarrassed. He had traveled across a lot of continents, but he was just looking at the scenery along the way, absent-mindedly, so he had to count it in half, but Master was not like that, so he counted it in double.

If he folds it in half and the master doubles it, there is a huge difference.

Seeing Xiao Mo waiting for his answer, Pei Qian had no choice but to say: "The cultivation path of Yuncaotang disciples is not common in the world, but if Pushan disciples successfully form elixirs or become a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm, Unless you are a first-class genius, you can continue to take two paths at the same time with the permission of the Ancestral Master Hall. Otherwise, you need to choose one of the two, and you can only focus on Qi refining or martial arts. In the Middle-earth Divine Continent, There is a sect, but there are not many people on the mountain. The sword cultivators in the Zushi Hall are all Talisman monks without exception. There is another sect in the history of Jinjiazhou, which is similar to Pushan, but it also has the ability to make alchemy, but the sect is barbaric. The demon clan has been defeated, and now there are less than ten disciples left. There is only one Earth Immortal. Their ancestors and teachers have all died in the battle. There is not even a protector left. They want to restore the sect's old glory. , it’s difficult.”

Pei Qian once fought side by side with them on several battlefields from south to north of Jinjiazhou.

She also saved the young immortal who was determined to die.

Chen Ping'an explained: "This is because the many pole frames of Pushan Boxing are very exquisite and have a long history. They are derived from the six 'Immortal Pictures' handed down from Pushan's ancestors, which are named Guanwan Picture, Making Jiao, and Tamping Practice. Playing the harp, chanting by the masters, fishing for the moon with the bamboo basket. Therefore, the martial arts of Yuncaotang has been passed down from generation to generation, coupled with the continuous improvement and addition of the mountain masters and ancestors of the past generations, and finally derived from the six immortal pictures, sixty There are many pile frames and boxing moves, and this is how the saying 'the pile comes from the picture and the punch goes to the picture' comes into being."

As Pei Qian said, there are not many such sects in the whole world. Although the monks walk two paths and have tough bodies, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, but the disadvantages are not small. For example, the cloud-covered building not far away In the mist-shrouded Pushan, the martial arts and boxing are even higher, but so far they have not been able to become the Immortal Family of Zongzitou. In fact, Pushan has had two opportunities in its history. The first time was the founder of the mountain, Ye Yugu, who reached the Jade Pu Realm that year. After leaving customs, I went down the mountain to visit friends and reminisce with Xun Yuan, a close friend of Yu Guizong.

It's a pity that a huge disaster happened during this trip down the mountain. For some reason, he was plotted by an expert. However, Ye Yugu came back seriously injured, but he didn't say who it was until his death. Even with the ancestral hall and his direct disciples, it seemed that Not a word was mentioned. This has become another unsolved case on the mountain that has been unsolved for thousands of years.

It was only now that Tongyezhou began to open old accounts, and there was a lot of rumblings. It was said that the person with a nose and eyes, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, was the ancestor of Zhongxing who had a narrow reputation in Tongye Sect. He was worried that if Ye Yugu was promoted to the immortal realm, With the ultimate martial art, Pushan, which was founded less than a century ago, might be able to directly compete with the Tongye Sect. So Du Mao personally took action and secretly intercepted Ye Yugu's dead hand. In the end, Ye Yugu fell into a terrible situation. A few years after returning to Pushan, he died of serious injuries and passed away sadly.

Another opportunity was for Ye Yunyun. Outside of the realm of martial arts, she was still a relatively unknown Jade Pu realm monk. However, she was delayed by the war. After Ye Yunyun reached the upper five realms, she only stayed in Pushan. The Ancestral Master Hall mentioned it casually, and the members of the Ancestral Master Hall were not allowed to disclose the matter to the outside world. Now they have no intention of reporting the matter to Dafu Academy. It is obvious that, at least in the near future, Pushan has no intention of joining the sect.

It seems that Pushan is always a little bit behind in joining the sect, God's will.

God is not good?

As if as compensation, Ye Yunyun got the seventh fairy picture not long ago, which is extremely precious and priceless.

Chen Ping'an heard Jiang Shangzhen mention it emphatically that it was a wall-facing painting, and its quality was higher than the six ancestral paintings.

Moreover, before Chief Zhou left Haoran Tianxia, ​​he left a special letter in Luopo Mountain mentioning this matter.

According to the description in Jiang Shangzhen's letter, the origin of this picture is extremely unusual. It depicts a monk wearing cassocks on the back, wearing a Taoist crown on his head, holding a jade tablet in his hand, facing a mural.

There are paintings within the paintings, and on top of the mural is a rubbing of an ancient bronze tripod, as well as densely packed thousands of ancient seal characters.

Pei Qian suddenly smiled and said: "Master, since Sister Huang Ting has returned to her hometown, when will we go find her?"

She still had a very good impression of the female crowned sister. He has a cold face and a warm heart, but he is very different from Sui Youyou anyway.

Chen Pingan said: "We will go back to Xiandu Mountain first, and then go to Xiaolongqiu together."

Walking on a secluded road leading to the gate of Pushan Mountain.

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but take out the tobacco stick again and squinted his eyes to think about something.

Why Pushan was able to escape in the dilapidated mountains and rivers of Yizhou is actually a very intriguing thing.

On the mountain, from the Fuji Sect to the Taiping Mountain, even though the Yugui Sect has preserved its ancestral heritage and will not be extinguished, there are only a few living people left in the ancestral hall. To this day, every time there is a discussion, half of them are still empty. Seats.

At the foot of the mountain, the only one who protected the country was the Daquan Dynasty. Countless soldiers died in the battle, but they could only retreat step by step, and finally managed to hold on to a mirage city.

Only Pushan seems to have just fought a few painless battles on the mountain. The thunder was loud and the rain was light. A few military tent monsters watched from a distance. For some reason, they had a tacit understanding and did not really pay attention to Pushan. Take action.

Otherwise, Ye Yunyun would not have thought of going to Daquan Dynasty to fight.

According to Cui Dongshan, it was Wenhai Zhoumi who had high hopes for this humble Pushan.

Chen Ping'an clearly understood that it involved the death of a pure martial artist and the reopening of Shinto in the world.

But today's Tongyezhou monks have ignored this matter intentionally or unintentionally, and only regard it as the protection of the Ye family of Pushan Yuncaotang, bringing great blessings to the sky.

As he approached the mountain gate, Chen Pingan put away his tobacco pole.

I'm still not used to this stuff. It chokes others and even more so myself. It seems to be harder than drinking.

————

Xiaolongqiu Ancestral Mountain, Longmian Mountain, the top of the mountain where the Ancestral Master Hall is located, is also known as Xinyi Peak.

There is a female crown who is an outsider and practices cultivation here. After asking the sword, she still didn't leave.

Nailing an ancient sword into the ground on the top of the mountain seemed to make the top of the mountain her territory.

But even Brother Xiao Longqiu had to admit that the woman's posture when asking for a sword was very cool and elegant.

Fortunately, Xiao Longqiu had tried his best to block the news. In addition, there were not many well-established immortal sects in Tongye Continent, and there were not many reports on the mountain. Otherwise, if this news got out, outsiders would laugh out loud.

Unlike Haoran Biezhou, Tongyezhou is notoriously closed-minded, like an old antique who is sluggish but arrogant.

That's why Jiang Shangzhen became so lively.

Fuqi Sect and Taipingshan, two huge sects, now only have one person left, like a single seedling.

The female crowned Huang Ting is standing on the edge of the cliff, holding a sword in both hands and looking up at the moon.

She entered the jade realm in the colorful world. She had good luck there and had many opportunities, but this kind of blessing from heaven had been something she had been accustomed to since she was a child.

Anyway, when I was a child, a wandering expert who passed by Taiping Mountain said that she was a lucky person.

The previous sword split the mountain and water restrictions of the mountain-protecting formation, the second sword seriously injured the mountain master Xiao Longqiu, and the last sword split the ancestral hall into two.

She held her sword in the air and only uttered a few words to the stunned monks.

"Whoever picks up the sword after that, be careful about getting killed."

"But if anyone can take over the Three Swords, I will pay to repair your Ancestral Hall."

Of course no one dared to take the sword.

This Taipingshan female crown, Huang Ting. She was one of the most legendary female cultivators in Tongyezhou in the past.

Jade Guizong Jiang Shangzhen's bad luck, Huang Ting's good fortune in Taiping Mountain, they are both called the two gems in one continent.

Huang Ting's sudden return to his hometown this time surprised the whole Xiaolongqiu. Because when the gate of Tongyezhou opened, leading to the new world of refuge, the Confucian Confucian Temple set a one-hundred-year deadline before it would open on time.

That's why Huang Ting's sudden appearance caught Xiao Longqiu off guard. In fact, a stranger who visited the Taipingshan ruins had already made Xiao Longqiu aware that something was wrong. When Huang Ting showed up to ask for the sword, he gave up completely. .

Nowadays, when discussing matters in the Patriarch Hall, we are not thinking about expelling people, but discussing how to make amends with one person, the female sword cultivator of the sect, before we are willing to move out of the Patriarch Hall, even if we don't leave the heart, just move to another place.

The Nascent Soul cultivator that Xiao Longqiu is actually in charge of now, he originally planned to take up the new position of Three Fires, help the sect occupy the ruins of Taiping Mountain, collect the remaining Dao Yun, add one of his own natal items, and try to refine it again A bright moon mirror is a great benefit to both public and private people. This is more practical than creating a "wild garden" for people to visit.

Huang Ting looked around. All around Xiao Longqiu was the water country Zeguo. The guardians of the mountain were on the left and right, a rare moon-picking ape that did not belong to the mountain-moving genus, and a large turtle.

In addition, in the realm of mountains and rivers, there is a giant green tail and a giant catfish that have become immortals. They have not been crowned by the imperial court. They have proclaimed themselves the Great Sage of Qihe and the Great King of Huangshui. I just heard that during the war, they all ran away, and when the war ended, they all came back.

It's just that Xiao Longqiu didn't care about anything with these two Uncle Shui. They probably thought that the two golden elixirs would not go to outsiders, so they could just be used as decorations.

Xiao Longqiu's mountain-holding treasure is a Grain Rain gourd.

The female mountain master who took her sword was named Master Qingshuang.

It's just that the person who is really in charge now is her junior brother, who has great ambitions but little talent, and has a bad mind.

The reason is very simple. One sword cut through the restriction of the mountains and rivers. Master Qingshuang, who was in seclusion, broke out and took Huang Ting's second sword. On the other hand, the man seemed to prefer watching a show and was secretly stealing the sword. Happy. After all, the Mountain Lord Senior Sister will need to retreat for a longer period of time. She can't even think of returning to her original state after forty or fifty years. This person has a natal object, which is a fishing rod. It seems that he can use the bright moon in the water as bait, which is similar to the Dragon King's basket.

Now the only monk Xiao Longqiu who dares to approach the hut is a young female monk named Linghu Jiaoyu, whose Taoist name is Fushu.

The Taoist name of the monks in the mountain is just like the word on the crown of the man at the foot of the mountain. A Qi practitioner is not something you can just get. You have to be in the Dongfu realm of the middle five realms.

My father and mother are both Xiaolongqiu monks, a pair of Taoist couples in the mountains. As the only daughter, the little girl naturally loves her very much. However, they both died in the battle outside the mountain. They didn't have to die. I heard that there are old friends outside and they must be rescued. , perhaps in the eyes of many people, even in the eyes of Xiao Longqiu's own monks, this is seeking death, which is simply ridiculous. But Huang Ting didn't find it ridiculous at all.

That's why the little girl named Linghu Jiaoyu came here as a "guest".

The little girl has a green snail hanging from her waist, which is a magic weapon used by those who call the mountains. It is somewhat similar to the Mountain Exorcism Duo, but it can only be used to "train the mountains" to the mountain gods and the land. It is not as powerful as the latter, which can drive away the mountains. , drive the mountains into the sea.

This little Longqiu seems to be incompatible with the mountains. For example, there is a cooking stone platform on the mountain, and there is a rolling mountain river outside the mountain.

The only interesting thing is that in ancient times, two immortals once played chess in the mountains. Panasonic only left a remnant of the chess game, unaware of the coming of spring and autumn in the world.

Huang Ting has been there for shopping, and he does have some knowledge.

She turned her head and saw the little girl walking this way. When the other party approached, Huang Ting walked towards the hut, and the little girl followed, with great understanding.

In the hut, there was only a bed and a stool. After winter, a brazier was added, and a bag of charcoal was placed in the corner. Huang Ting sat on the edge of the bed, with his feet on the edge of the brazier, leaning forward, holding a fire tong, and flicking the charcoal. .

Linghu Banana Fish squatted aside and stretched out his hands to keep warm.

Huang Ting said: "You don't want to sit on a stool?"

Linghu Jiaoyu then stood up and moved around, sitting on the bench across from Huang Ting around the fire.

Huang Ting said casually: "Linghu Banana Fish, a burnt and mushy fish? What did your parents think of giving you such a name?"

Linghu Banana Fish said with a smile: "Sister Huang Ting, there is a way here. When my mother was pregnant with me, she had a dream one day. She dreamed of a fish swimming in the quiet pool under the green shade of a clump of banana trees. When we got to the shore, the fish raised its head and looked at my mother, and even spoke. My parents thought it was a good omen, and they gave me a name like mine."

Nowadays, the elders and classmates on the mountain will deliberately avoid talking to her parents. Of course, they are well-intentioned and are afraid that she will be sad.

But in fact, she won't think too much about it, she even thinks,

My parents are such good people, why don't they say a few words? They must be too happy and sad.

Such as now.

Huang Ting asked: "Aquarius Continent in the north, there are big and small dragons, do they have anything to do with you?"

Linghu Jiaoyu looked confused, "Huh?"

This was the first time she heard that there was also a little Longqiu on Aquarius Continent.

Huang Ting asked: "Do you want to go to Taiping Mountain with me to practice Taoism?"

Linghu Jiaoyu thought for a while, shook his head, and said timidly: "No way."

Huang Ting only had a temporary idea, and casually said that if the little girl didn't want to, forget it, and joked: "Anyway, you don't have to worry about getting married."

The latest rouge list of Huashen Mountain in Yunku Paradise, and the picture of this little girl in front of me happened to be on it.

Linghu Jiaoyu felt a little embarrassed. He raised his head and glanced at Sister Nu Guan, who was illuminated by the light of the charcoal fire. She was much prettier than him.

Huang Ting pointed to a sword hanging on the wall and said with a smile: "Unlike you, I am a sword cultivator. If you have a pretty face, you can't make a living."

As for the sword she brought back from Colorful World, she picked it up from a secret ruins.

Perhaps the immortal soldier had some spirit, so he automatically recognized his master, lit up a sword light, and came straight to her. At that time, she was just following a group of immortal masters to watch the fun.

Seeing those middle five realm gods setting up formations and so on, they were busy and hard, but she was just bored and distracted. In the colorful world at that time, a golden elixir earth immortal dared to start a sect.

In addition, Huang Ting also accepted a little girl as his apprentice there, who seemed to be a "local" child born in the colorful world.

It's just that this time I didn't bring the child back together, and gave the child to the care of Feisheng City. After all, in that colorful world, there is actually a mountain top with a monument and the words "Taiping Mountain" engraved on it.

No monks are allowed to enter within a thousand miles radius, otherwise they will ask her for swordsmanship.

The reason why she was able to leave the colorful world as an exception was because Ning Yao, the best person in the world, found her inexplicably.

At that time, Ning Yao was accompanied by an eccentric girl, holding a green bamboo stick and an inkstone hanging from her waist. She seemed to be named Guo Zhujiu.

The little girl talks very interestingly. She claims to be the direct disciple of Master Yin Guan. Her sword skills are average and her boxing skills are very strong.

Ning Yao told Huang Ting about the current situation of Taiping Mountain in Tongyezhou, saying that Chen Ping'an disrupted Xiao Longqiu's plan to occupy the old site there.

He also said that if Huang Ting is willing to return to his hometown and help Guo Zhujiu protect the road in the long river of time, as a thank you, the Confucian Temple will not stop it. The Taiping Mountain "downsects" here, and Feisheng City can help take care of it for a hundred years...

Huang Ting looked at the woman carrying the sword box who seemed to be discussing with him.

It’s really difficult for this number one person in the colorful world.

At that time, Guo Zhujiu said loudly: "Master, please take care of me."

Then the girl lowered her voice and said: "Master, don't worry. When I get to Luolu Mountain in Aquarius Continent, if I find those charming people who dare to pester Master again and again, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

The little girl made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Ning Yao touched the girl's head, with a gentle look on his face, and said with a smile: "Your master is not afraid of anything. He is most afraid of something, and I happen to know this best."

It was not until that moment that Huang Ting was surprised to discover the truth through Guo Zhujiu's three titles. It turned out that Guo Zhujiu's master was the hidden official of the Jianqi Great Wall, also known as Luo Luoshan Chen Ping'an.

Huang Ting knew very well that if it weren't for Chen Ping'an, there would be no need to waste his merits in the Confucian Temple because of the incompatibility between Ning Yao and himself.

Looking at Ning Yao's face and eyes, Huang Ting found it very interesting. If you are Ning Yao, can you be such a woman?

But maybe this is a woman and she just likes it. Be willing to become less like yourself for someone.

Linghu Jiaoyu lowered his head and said timidly: "Sister Huang Ting, Grandmaster asked me to ask you a question. I don't dare to refuse, and I don't dare to say it to you."

Huang Ting couldn't help but laugh, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay, just tell him that I will leave when I get tired of staying here."

Linghu Bananayu nodded vigorously.

Now that I have an answer, I'm relieved.

Glancing at the innocent little girl, Huang Ting sighed and asked again and again, "You really don't want to practice with me?"

Linghu Jiaoyu shook his head slightly, bent down, stared hard at the charcoal fire in the stove, and whispered: "Every year, I have to pay homage to my parents' graves. If I go to Taiping Mountain to practice, I won't be able to do it."

Huang Ting nodded and hummed.

In Taiping Mountain, I am the only one left now.

Wherever you are, Taipingshan is there.

Being in a foreign land, I just feel lonely.

Returning to my hometown, I felt lonely.

A small country in the middle of Tongyezhou that has just restored its status as a state, in the county seat of Liuzhou, has finally regained some vitality after so many years of war.

At a late-night snack stall, a scholar and a fat man sat at the same table, each eating a bowl of hot snail noodles.

In fact, along the way, from autumn to winter, the two of them, or to be precise, two ghosts, had seen the grain transport convoy crossing the river beside the stream mill at the foot of the mountain. A pheasant hangs.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the old cow is by their side. The Tian family accounts for the climate, and it is said that this will be a good year.

At this moment, the two bowls on the late night snack stall are actually not too small, but compared to the bowls in Biyou Palace, they appear to be particularly small.

The fat man shook his head while eating, "This cinnamon is almost boring. The pickled bamboo shoots don't use the yellow mud tips in the spring bamboo shoots, not to mention the pickled sansho pepper. It's not as good as the Mihe Shuifu that I was a guest before."

The scholar tapped the table with his chopsticks, "That's about it. A big bowl of snail noodles costs five cents. It's cheap and good enough. What else do you want?"

The key is that this fat man talks like a mother-in-law. He has already eaten two big bowls, and depending on his posture, he can still have another bowl.

The fat man who gave himself the pseudonym "Gusu" suddenly stopped his chopsticks, raised his head, stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, and then wiped it on the bottom of the table, "I have been holding back and not saying anything, so I have to hold back and not ask. I'm so suffocated that I'm dying. What happened to you when you were crossing the water earlier? Did you see someone? Or did I catch a big fish that slipped through the net for you? It's obviously a good thing, and it's not that pretty aunt. Is there anything you can't share? Yes, being happy alone is not as good as being happy together.”

Zhong Kui raised his hand and planned to pay.

The fat man became anxious and shouted: "What are you doing? The gap between your teeth is not filled up. I want another bowl."

Zhong Kui ignored him, but when he paid, he gave him four bowls of snail noodles in copper coins.

The fat man burped. He still had some sharp eyesight. If he put things aside, he could be promoted.

Zhong Kui sat with his hands folded, letting the fat man in front of him eat his second bowl of snail noodles.

This guy is really rare. It is said that he was addicted to gambling when he was young. He forgot about food and sleep, was idle and had no moral integrity. Before this fat man usurped the throne and founded the country, he once smashed people to death with a chessboard and was also killed by an unknown person on the street. A woman of his status slapped her face to face but didn't fight back.

He can also write some acid words about the beautiful young man with the golden whip, who went to jump on the green horse. At that time, his spring clothes were thin and apricot blossoms were blowing all over his head.

Just like now, it can be said that the man is very hungry. As soon as he works again, his food will be delicious, he will eat and drink enough, and he will sleep on the pillow. When you sleep, you will feel at ease. Not to mention that you will no longer miss the big girl you saw during the day. Even the emperor is not timid anymore. How can he have free time to think about those things that are there and not there.

Zhong Kui said softly: "Cure all kinds of diseases with poverty, which is a very bitter term."

The fat man rolled up a big bowl of snail noodles with chopsticks. It smelled bad and tasted terrible. He curled his lips and said, "No matter how hard it is, you still have to accept your fate. Water has a source, trees have roots, mountains have their ins and outs, and people have their own birth, aging, illness and death." , since it is a rule set by God, we have to bow our heads even if we don’t. Besides, I am not a scholar like you, and I don’t care about what is sad. The world is miserable, and the people are always suffering. Taking ten thousand steps back, my reputation in future generations will be worse. , but back then, when I was still the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, my own people stretched their necks to be chopped off by monks from other countries. Do you think they dared to chop them down? So let me tell you, the Song family of Dali in the north now, at most It can be regarded as the realm I achieved long ago.”

Zhong Kui said with a smile: "It's better to save such bold words first."

Gu Su grinned, "It doesn't matter if you are in front of that person, I will keep my word."

In fact, both parties should have gone to Dafu Academy a long time ago. The reason why they changed the route and wandered all the way around the water and then around the mountains to this point was because Uncle Zhong Kui had more ideas.

Gusu didn't have the ability to tell fortunes. He didn't know what Zhong Kui was thinking. When he was an official and didn't wear a dragon robe, the former emperor, who was more moody than himself, would bring a fortune teller over from time to time and ask them to tell them. Tell your own fortune when you will die. One can imagine the fate of the fortune tellers.

Dafu Academy was rebuilt on the old site. The new academy chief is Cheng Longzhou, who comes from Linlu Academy of the Great Li Dynasty, and is the real name of the monster from the Yellow Ting Kingdom's Ten Thousand Years Water Dragon.

After the fat man finished eating, Zhong Kui took him to a county god's temple. The yamen was brand new and there was a new county god.

Gusu asked: "Brother Zhong, why don't you go directly to the city god? If that doesn't work, we can go to the county god to show off our power."

Because it is the seat of the state and the government at the same time, the governor's office, the government office, and the county government are all in the same city, and it is still a layout of two counties in one city. Well, they can be regarded as brothers in need. According to the officialdom According to the doorway, this is called the unlucky magistrate of the third life and attached to Guo, and the evildoer of the third life attached to the provincial capital of Guo. Similar to the magistrate of Fuguo, the city god of the same place is in a similar situation, and it is even more difficult to become an official.

After wandering around the city during the day, they heard some gossip. It was said that the two Fuguo counties here had been competing for the title of "First County" in the past two years.

The ranking of Fuguo counties is generally based on the length of history, but counties with good names such as "Shangyuan" and "Renhe" seem to be given priority.

Nowadays, Zhong Kui's status is aloof, similar to the kind of imperial envoy in the unofficial history of the barnyard official who helps His Majesty the Emperor to "tour the world, pacify the army and support the people."

Even though Zhong Kui doesn't actually have a serious official status in Fengdu yet, it's almost like what is written in the romance novel. He holds Shang Fang's sword and can kill first and then play. Therefore, he has greater authority than the local minister of border affairs, because Zhong Kui can act cheaply.

Zhong Kui stood at the door, not in a hurry to enter, and suddenly said: "I received a secret letter earlier."

Gu Su rubbed his face with both hands, "What, besides interrupting Fairy Hairpin City, what other extraordinary things did your friend do? Come on, why not tell me and see if you can scare me to death."

Zhong Kui laughed from the bottom of his heart and said: "It's nothing, it's just that someone robbed half of the Yiluo River, emptied Tuoyue Mountain in one fell swoop, killed a great Ascension Realm demon, and joined hands to move Mingyue Haocai to the Qingming world."

Gu Su chuckled and said, "I thought it was no big deal, just like that."

The fat man wiped his forehead. Fortunately, there was no sweat.

"Brother Zhong's friends are my friends. Since they are all friends, what kind of realm can we talk about? Let me tell you, your friend is getting more and more handsome as he looks at me. Men have to be like this. At first glance, he doesn't look good. But it makes it more exciting for others to watch.”

Gu Su gave a thumbs up, "Zhong Kui, you're pretty good at making friends. I'm really not as good as you in this matter, so I have to give you a sincere thumbs up."

Seeing that Zhong Kui was smiling but not smiling, the fat man rubbed his face with his thumb, "His appearance, when I was young, I would have given him three points!"

This fat man is obviously starting to make amends.

I used to think that the young hidden official who could kidnap Ning Yao to become a Taoist companion must be a big pig's hooves who is good at smooth talk. He is also a master with a bad stomach and cannot eat coarse food.

As a result, I heard about these major changes in the wilderness hinterland.

Gusu contacted Zhong Kui again about the conversation between Zhong Kui and the great demon Wu Tiao. The fat man thought with his buttocks, knowing who had done the series of things.

Even if Chen Ping'an didn't personally hand over the sword, it was the young hermit official who took the lead and took great credit, so he immediately changed the direction and said, "This kind of hero who has not been seen in a thousand years must help me introduce him when he comes back, let alone call him brother. Even if I call him brother, I won’t feel guilty.”

Zhong Kui smiled and said, "We'll meet soon."

Looking back at the street, Zhong Kui suddenly changed his attention and said with a smile: "Find a place to drink."

The fat man slapped his chest and said, "As per the old rules, I'll pay the bill!"

Zhong Kui looked at the fat man.

The fat man said angrily: "The new rule is that from now on I will always pay the bill, as agreed in advance, except for drinking flower wine."

Otherwise, in accordance with the consistent tenet of his uncle Gusu, he should not be greedy for generosity as a person, and he should not be greedy for generosity as a ghost.

Zhong Kui asked with a smile: "I heard that you have been collecting the Thirteen Lines on the Jade Edition?"

The fat man turned around and let out a loud sigh, "Which historian is so deceived by lard that he throws dirty water on me and ruins my reputation!"

Zhong Kui patted the fat man on the shoulder, "If not, I advise you not to see that friend of mine. Take it easy, he is very vindictive."

The fat man on the side quickly turned his eyes and began to weigh the pros and cons.

Zhong Kui walked to a roadside wine shop, sat down, and started drinking in silence.

Smart people are willing to do stupid things, and good people can accomplish great things.

What it means to be a knight is that there is a river and lake flowing in one's bones.

Have fun tonight, have guests and wine, take advantage of the clear wind and white moon.

————

It was dark at night, and when they arrived at the gate of Pushan Yuncaotang, Chen Pingan and the two concierge monks announced their identities.

But compared to last time, there is an additional identity of Xiandushan.

The concierge had obviously been greeted, and he had only heard of "Cao Mo", so he asked Immortal Cao to wait and immediately conveyed the matter with an origami blue bird talisman.

Xiao Mo took a look and found it looked familiar. This secret messenger talisman from Pushan looks like a woman riding a blue bird.

Soon two people came to the mountain gate to greet Chen Ping'an and other distinguished guests.

Xue Huai, a martial artist who traveled far and wide. This old man has a pale appearance and an elegant demeanor. He wears a silk scarf on his head and floats out of the dust, which has an ancient meaning.

Therefore, although he is a martial arts master, he has always been respectfully called Master Xue outside the mountain.

Xue Huai was followed by an old Nascent Soul monk with an immortal spirit, holding a fly whisk in his hand.

The last time Xue Huai served as a protector, he had already met Cao Mo and Zheng Qian when he visited Huangheji, the blessed land of Yunku.

As one of Ye Yunyun's direct disciples, Xue Huai and Lu Ying, the chief worshiper of the Golden Summit Temple, are both protectors of a large group of young people.

Master Ye Yunyun wanted to ask Cao Mo about boxing, but Cao Mo claimed to be a junior and declined the question.

I heard what the master said afterwards that Jiang Shangzhen said that his good friend Cao Mo had rejected him three times in a row.

But since the other party was Zheng Qian's master, Xue Huai didn't think it was Cao Mo who was playing tricks.

Not to mention a master disciple taught by the opponent himself, who was able to kill everyone on the two battlefields of Jinjia Continent and Aquarius Continent, kill countless monsters, and save many people. Not to mention this disciple, who had four fist fights with Daduan Cao Ci. Even Xue Huai himself, even a far-traveling martial artist, didn't think he could accomplish similar feats as a disciple of others. He only talked about the matter of boxing with Cao Ci, and it is estimated that Cao Ci was not willing to take action at all.

On the way down the mountain after a long journey, Xue Huai actually saw Cao Qinglang and Xiao Mo holding a hiking stick at first sight.

Xue Huaiquan apologized and said: "Master Cao Xian, my master and a friend are traveling. They are not on the mountain, but not too far away. The Ancestral Master Hall has sent a message with flying swords. We can return to Pushan in an hour at most."

On the side, the old immortal Master Yuanying dusted himself off, bowed his head and saluted, and said respectfully: "Tan Rong, ancient wood sandalwood, water Sheng Rong. Now I am the Zhanglu of Pushan, and I pay my respects to Master Cao."

It's not that the old immortal master is easy to talk to and gives big gifts to everyone he meets. In fact, Tan Rong is notoriously hard to talk to in the Pushan Patriarch Hall. Huang Yiyun, the head of the family and the owner of the mountain, doesn't care about things, so Tan Rong can't help but act like a villain if he doesn't set the rules. .

Moreover, there are almost no good-tempered masters in the celestial mountains and sects in the world.

In fact, Pushan owes a huge favor to this talented Cao Xianshi. Previously, a direct messenger of Lu Yong from Qinghu Palace took the initiative to visit Pushan and delivered two stoves. Yu Hua Wan, not even a single fairy coin was confiscated.

According to the mountain owner, it was Master Cao in front of him who helped Pushan connect with Qinghu Palace.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and smiled: "I have heard for a long time that Tanzhanglu is a master of gold and stone in the mountains. He has thousands of seals and thousands of seals. I will definitely take this opportunity to visit Tanzhanglu's Qianjinwanshizhai."

"Have you ever thought that Immortal Master Cao could be as good as this?"

The smile on Tan Rong's face grew wider. You need to know that this old Yuanying has two most painful things in his life. One is that at half a hundred years old, he was the direct descendant of the "Two Golds" of the Pushan Patriarch Hall. He was both a monk in the Golden Core realm and a He is a martial artist in the golden realm, so he once personally carved a pair of seals for his private collection. Furthermore, Tan Rong has an extremely rich collection of seals.

Tan Rong led this group of guests from Xiandu Mountain and rode the wind to the reception place of Pushan, which was located on the sea of ​​clouds outside the cliff near the Ancestral Hall on the top of the mountain.

Yuncaotang would only choose this place to entertain distinguished guests. Deep in the white clouds there is a lush green towering ancient tree, covering several acres of shade and surrounded by a white jade railing.

The disciples of Yuncaotang, both male and female, are all talented, and almost all of them are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is where their great contribution comes from.

I had a very pleasant conversation with Master Cao Xian along the way. At first, I thought that the other person was just talking about Jinshi and some polite words to get closer to each other. Unexpectedly, the more we talked, the more we got along, and we started talking about some things that few people knew about. When it comes to sealing, the other party's comments about Zang's disapproval are often to the point and are very insightful. They are by no means an expert's words that can be said by reading a few sealing books before going up the mountain.

Xiao Mo then figured out another truth: all the eighteen martial arts skills will never go unused and will always be useful.

Pei Qian glanced at someone sideways, as if to say, "My master can do it, can you?" How did he become his proud disciple?

Cao Qinglang was helpless and missed Junior Sister Guo for no reason.

If Guo Zhujiu were here, Pei Qian would be the biggest headache.

Whenever the flowers bloom on the tree, and one flower blooms, an exquisite and lovely woman will appear among them. They are all the charming flowers and plants that have been successfully formed.

This unique and beautiful fairy scene on the mountain consumes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Not even Tan Rong and Xue Huai can see it if they want to. Pushan's family owners throughout the generations have always been respectful to those little guys and should not disturb their cultivation at will. Therefore, the little guys have a bad temper and are often passive and slow in their work. Once the flowers bloom, they will lie there motionless, which will make a joke. It's not like we've never had this embarrassing situation before. We couldn't train and scolded, and we were even more reluctant to beat and scold. What else could we do? You know that last time two distinguished guests came to visit, but Xun Yuan, the old master of the Yugui Sect, led the new master Jiang Shangzhen to join hands. Visit Pushan.

When the flowers bloomed last time, there were countless curses, one after another, and there were even a lot of demons who would akimbo or jump to spit at Jiang Shangzhen.

The careless new sect leader rushed around, picking up the "rainwater" with his hands, licking his face and thanking him again and again.

Finally, he added the following sentence: "Good rain knows the season, and it happens when it meets me."

It's better for such a distinguished guest to come less frequently.

Therefore, before Tan Rong came down from the mountain this time, he made a special trip here to say hello in advance. He had to say hello to today's group of distinguished guests. Cao Mo, one of them, although he pretended to be a guest minister at the end of Yugui Zong, he was actually He has nothing to do with Jiang Shangzhen. Then the old master was worried that he would be self-defeating, so he solemnly talked about the two furnaces of Qinghu Palace sitting in Wangdan, as well as the deeds of "Zheng Qian". The little charms looked attentive, and they were very envious of it early on.

The white clouds are like lichen covering the sky, and they are as bright as day.

After Tan Rong and other guests had sat down beside dozens of white jade stone benches arranged in a starry pattern, the old immortal master took out a small bronze chime with a color like jasper from his sleeve and tapped it three times with his fingers.

From high to low, flowers bloom one after another on the tree. The women in the flowers are either dancing gracefully, playing the piano or flute, and singing songs in ancient proverbs. They are about one finger long, and they are all immortals with beautiful eyebrows, acting as ancient servant girls. The hair is in a bun, the clothes are smoky, the sleeves of the skirt are wide and long, the fragrance is swirling, the scene is charming and fairy-like.

When the vision was over, Chen Ping'an stood up and hugged the immortals living in the ancient trees to thank them. Of course, Xiao Mo and the other two stood up too.

Among them was a miniature woman, wearing a white jade spiritual seal and a simple Taizhen crown on her head. Her face was charming and her hair was clear. She moved a few steps and stood next to the petals. She asked: "Master Cao Xian, listen to the law of Tanzhang. Are you from the Jade Gui Sect? Do you recognize the old sect leader Jiang who has brilliant military exploits?"

Tan Rong was immediately worried, but it was difficult to remind Cao Mo of something like this.

But Chen Ping'an had already understood it. When he was out, especially in front of women, who could say whether he and Jiang Shang were really friends or stupid? So he shook his head without hesitation and said with a smile: "Cao Mo is just a low-ranking guest of the Jade Gui Sect. Where can I go?" Being lucky enough to know Sect Master Jiang is beyond your reach."

In my Luoposhan family, we only have Chief Zhou Fei, but never Jiang Shangzhen.

The woman seemed doubtful, and in the end she just clicked her tongue and shook her head and said, "It's a man."

She didn't ask any more questions.

Pushan's wine is more famous than Yunwu Tea, and is known as Xiaobaihua Brewing in the mountain.

Just give it away, not sell it, Pushan is not short of money.

There are more than 70 landscape rentals outside Pushan, so the founder of Pushan has always had the easiest time managing money. There was a previous meeting in the Patriarch Hall to discuss the issue of rent collection in various places after the war. Ye Yunyun was concise and concise about the matter and only gave two words, forget it.

Ye Yunyun usually doesn't take much part in the actual affairs. She earns and spends money just as the shopkeeper. However, whenever she shows up, she always keeps her word.

When the mountain owner speaks, there is no need to discuss anything. Pushan is very quick to get the word out. Regardless of famous mountains, rivers, lakes, or temples, as long as he is the legitimate successor, he will be rent-free for a hundred years.

Waiting for Ye Yunyun to return to the top of the mountain, Tan Rong once again thanked Master Cao for the two batches of Yuyi Pills.

If it weren't for the old money man who was in charge of money, who was now running around and busy buying a few new mountains, otherwise when Cao Xianshi visited Yuncaotang this time, a shameless old guy like him would probably have to bow and say thank you, because this person's Several direct disciples were each assigned a Feather Pill, making the matter of breaking through the realm more certain, or having clues.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said that he just helped and said that Pushan planned to buy a furnace of forgettable pills, and he did not expect that Qinghu Palace would give it away in the end. It was probably because of the old god Lu that he sincerely recognized Pushan's style, otherwise at most That is, the buying and selling prices are somewhat affordable.

Of course, Tan Rong and Xue Huai knew the truth, but the other party said it deliberately. It was regarded as helping Pushan carry the sedan, which was a matter of honor after all.

The two sides casually chatted about Wu Shu's founding disciple, the Golden Body Realm martial artist Guo Bailu.

Xue Huai praised this junior without hesitation, and was sure that Guo Bailu's future martial arts achievements would be very high. The key to a twenty-year-old golden body was that he had won the title of "strongest" twice at a young age and had good martial arts luck.

Chen Pingan nodded and said, Guo Bailu must have a bright future.

Pei Qian sat upright, expressionless.

Whether you are a pure martial artist or a monk on the mountain, you all agree on one thing now.

That is, led by Cao Ci of the Daduan Dynasty, who alone will take the lead and be the best on the road to martial arts.

In addition, those behind Cao Ci, such as Zheng Qian from the Aquarius Continent, Yu Xuanfu from the Middle-earth Divine Continent, and Guo Bailu from the Tongye Continent, who have won the title of "strongest" in the past twenty years, can be regarded as The most valuable young generation is, after all, the strongest in the two worlds of Haoran and Wilderness.

Xue Huai hesitated for a moment, but gave up the idea of ​​sparring with Zheng Qian. After all, they were distinguished guests. It was not etiquette for the other party and his group to start a fight before they met the master.

Besides, this is a boxing contest with no suspense about the outcome.

Xue Huai really didn't think he could survive twenty moves under Zheng Qian's hands.

Can you survive ten strokes? You just have to try it and find out.

After all the gossip, after three rounds of drinking, the mountain owner still did not rush back to Pushan. It was later than expected, so Tan Rong had no choice but to take Cao Xianshi and his party to his Qianjinwanshizhai.

Ordinary guests would never want to set foot here. They cherish the Tibetan Seal like a hero looking at the sky with blank eyes. Books are like beautiful women, so why bother showing them to a blind man?

When Pushan Zhangluyin talked about the Hundred Swords Immortal Seal Pu and the Jian Sword Immortal Seal Pu, I was unable to include them for the time being, and I was very sorry.

I just said that I have already said hello to the stewards of the two cross-continental ferries from other places, and I must help myself and the mountain top of Aai Aizhou to buy it with a lot of money, including the travel expenses. Anyway, it doesn’t matter how expensive the price is.

One of the old ferry stewards who had been to Daoxuan Mountain would always talk about the young Yin Guan of the Sword Qi Great Wall as "the new Yin Guan" and would never call him "the last Yin Guan". The ferry steward had an eyebrow. Feiyang said that although he was not able to discuss face-to-face with the new Yin Guan in person, the chair where he sat in Chunbanzhai in Hanging Mountain was only two chairs away from Yin Guan's throne! After the discussion with Shao Yunyan, Yan Jianxian and Nalan Huancai, he touched the back of the chair, soaked in the immortal energy, "Don't laugh at Tanzhanglu, I just got up a little slower at that time, but I couldn't compare with those people." My shameless colleague ended up having to queue up.

Such spitting words made Pushan Zhanglu dumbfounded. Of course the Great Wall of Sword Qi knew about it, but it was just more information, so it didn't really matter.

Tongyezhou has never asked about the affairs of the world and other continents.

But after all, he was asking for something, so Tan Rong could only pretend to smile and nod. When the other party told him not to laugh, Lao Zhanglu could only put on a serious face and stop smiling.

Finally, the old steward started to brag about not drafting, saying that it would have been better if you had asked for the two seals earlier. I would discuss it with the new hidden official and it would be possible to give them away for free.

What else could Tan Rong do at that time, he continued to nod in agreement.

At this moment, the old immortal master did not notice that except for the calm-looking Master Cao beside him, the three guests all looked strange.

————

On the edge of Pushan territory, in a water god temple at the source of Peijiang River, in an elegant and quiet wing, there is a woman in yellow, drinking tea with two friends. It is the kind of tea that is sold far away from Aquarius Island. The local Lao Cong Narcissus drank so much that she frowned. She had already used Peijiang first-class spring water to make tea, but the result was still the same. Who set the price must have lost sight of money.

The other three people in the house are all women. One of them is the host of this temple, the Water Goddess, who is commonly known as the "Women of the East China Sea" by the immortal masters on the mountain. Her surname is Kou and her name is Xuanqu. If Huang Yiyun hadn't nodded to drink from this foreign country, Rock tea, she was really embarrassed to serve it to guests.

Ye Yunyun came to the temple this time to talk to Kou Xuanqu about the specific matters of walking on the river. Because he is the water god of Peijiang, it is meaningless without the reason of walking on the Peijiang River. Therefore, Ye Yunyun had previously negotiated with the Daquan Dynasty. Yes, the buried river where the old Dadu Dragon Palace was located was chosen. Emperor Yao Jinzhi personally came forward to talk about it, and it went smoothly.

Liu Rou, the buried river water god and the master of Biyou Palace, was also very easy to discuss and quickly wrote back a letter from the Mirage City Palace with just two words, "Welcome."

Opposite Ye Yunyun, sat a slender girl in a pink haze, red ribbon and lotus root silk skirt, and a crane cloak.

She looks like a young girl, but she is a very senior Nascent Soul Realm in Tongyezhou.

It is the contemporary cave master of Bailong Cave, his name is Xu Qingzhu, and his Taoist name is Leap Moon.

She has a beautiful appearance, a relaxed expression, and a forest atmosphere.

Xu Qingzhu liked to walk barefoot since he was a child, and had the strange habit of "never wearing socks throughout his life".

The reason why Pushan Yuncaotang participated in the Peach Leaf Alliance was because Jinding Temple Du Hanling suggested that she should be the lobbyist. However, with only one reason, Xu Qingzhu was able to convince Xu Qingzhu who was originally unwilling to participate in the peach leaf alliance. And my friend Huang Yiyun.

Tongyezhou needs a warrior who is willing to punch, regardless of the cost or consequences, to intimidate the monks from other continents.

Xu Qingzhu had been a guest in Pushan for a long time before, because she would soon be in retreat, and the success or failure of breaking through was unknown.

The last woman is the youngest and has the lowest moral standards. She is Ye Yunyun's junior and a descendant of the Ye family. Ye Xuanji, the family ancestor of this young female cultivator, is Ye Yunyun's brother and has always been in charge of the Yuncaotang's treasury.

Whenever Ye Xuanji goes out, she is accustomed to wearing a Dragon Girl Xiang skirt robe and a string of pearl bracelets on her wrists. When she lifted the tea bowl, she raised her wrist, glanced at her precious bracelet, and smiled secretly.

Because Mrs. Dandan, who is now the master of land and water transportation in the world, let Lushui Keng let out the news, and there were no more Qiuzhu in the mansion, not even a single one was left. Therefore, this kind of pearl bracelet can be regarded as a last resort. Therefore, now in the mountains, the price of bracelets has skyrocketed, more than quadrupling the original price. It's a pity that she emptied her pockets and borrowed money from her classmates, but she only bought three strings of pearls. Therefore, the ancestor who is now the God of Wealth in Pushan is embarrassed to say that she spends money carelessly.

Xu Qingzhu said: "I need to go back to the mountain for retreat immediately, so I won't be able to protect the Xuan Canal on the shore."

Kou Xuequ raised the wine bowl, which was an imitation flower cup from Aquarius Continent, and said with a smile: "How dare you ask the cave master to protect the road? If you can still violate the law in the future, I will help the cave master again."

Xu Qingzhu, who had a cold expression, also smiled and raised the well-made tea cup, "Let's encourage each other."

After drinking tea, Ye Yunyun did not let Kou choose Qu to accompany him. The three of them left the temple and walked on the bank of the source of Peijiang River.

Xu Qingzhu touched Ye Xuanji's head and asked with a smile: "Xuanji, it's rare for me to go out with the mountain master this time. Did you secretly buy the newspaper?"

Ye Xuanji glanced at Huang Yiyun, who was both the head of the Ye family and the head of Pushan Mountain.

I dare not say it.

Ye Yunyun said: "As long as you don't take the Shanshui Di newspaper you read back to Pushan."

Ye Xuanji then started chatting, telling the mountain master and Senior Leyue many interesting and interesting things about Aquarius Continent and Beiju Lu Continent in the north.

For example, I heard that Piyun Mountain, the northern mountain of Aquarius Continent, is going to hold a night tour banquet again.

It's a pity that the news in Tongyezhou's Shanshui Dibao is too late. Moreover, many things on the mountain are spread by false rumors, or they are just copying and copying the contents of Baopingzhou's Dibao. Therefore, it is the second or even third-party dealers. It doesn't mean much. . For example, until now, Ye Xuanji didn't know that Pima Zong Zhuquan of Luzhou Skeleton Beach in Beiju had resigned from the position of sect leader long ago. And during the discussion in the Chinese Confucian Temple, there was an unknown expert who suddenly appeared. He called himself the "young Taoist". He was invincible in Taoism and his magic skills were so perfect that he beat an old Feisheng to the point where he was unable to fight back. Another immortal from Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion, Yuanyangzhu, who was also in a place of right and wrong, was questioned about swordsmanship by a young swordsman of unknown origin, and the former almost died. Of course, there is also the unknown hilltop called Luopo Mountain. A viewing ceremony on Zhengyang Mountain, the sect of Tongzhou Sect, caused a huge commotion. It is no exaggeration to say that the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked.

Hearing the audience, Xu Qingzhu finally smiled and said: "Yunyun, what a coincidence, that young mountain master seems to be named Chen Ping'an. He has the same level of climbing as you. He is both a monk and a martial arts master."

Ye Yunyun had obviously heard of the other party's name, and shook her head and said: "It sounds similar, but it's actually much different. The other party is not only a Qi practitioner, but also a sword cultivator, and he is similar to Wei Jin, the great swordsman of Fengxue Temple. He is in the Jade Pu realm when he is in his forties. If I just go by what the Di newspaper said, if I could have a fight with him, my chances of winning would be slim."

Xu Qingzhu clicked his tongue twice, "This kind of thing can only be said by Huang Yiyun without pain in her back."

She then looked a little resentful and said, "It's so irritating to compare people to each other. You go out and get two batches of Yuyiwan for nothing. Look at me, I provoked the Fu Yin of the Daquan Dynasty, surnamed Yao, without even moving around at home."

Ye Yunyun always speaks directly, "This means that if there are few adults in the house, there will be more ghosts and monsters causing trouble. If there are many small people in the house, it will be easy for people to talk and argue."

Xu Qingzhu was so angry that he reached out and twisted Ye Yunyun's arm.

Ye Yunyun ignored it, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyebrows, as if she was more worried than Xu Qingzhu.

Among Xu Qingzhu's direct disciples, there was a child nicknamed Linzi, named Ma Linshi. This little bastard often got into trouble when he went on a trip. First, he followed a one-armed lame man in the Mirage City of the Daquan Dynasty. There was a big fuss, and later we found out that he was the governor of the capital, the younger brother of Empress Daquan, and a first-rank prince.

Later, he had a conflict with a group of people at Jiang's Cloud Cave Blessed Land. As a result, You Qi was kicked to the ground by a child who claimed to be nicknamed "Invincible Little God Fist". Moreover, he still looked like he was so helpless. The crushing power of fighting back. A cultivator in the Dragon Gate Realm, who was only one step away from becoming an Earth Immortal, actually gave a child who was practicing boxing a harsh lesson.

But here in Bailong Cave, after a meeting at the Ancestral Master Hall, there was no longer any thought to get to the bottom of it and find out who to fight against.

She, the ancestor who has been the cave master for many years, finds it troublesome, not to mention that she is now at a critical moment when she is about to enter seclusion and try to break through. It is best not to touch the common people in the mountains and outside.

Furthermore, Bailongdong is even more afraid that a big trouble will get bigger and bigger. For the sake of face, hurting one's lizi will only result in more losses than gains.

Whether it was a prince of the Daquan Dynasty and the governor of the capital, or the blessed land of Yunku, the man standing next to Ye Yunyun at that time, who always called "Sister Ye", how frivolous and dissolute he was, could not make Ye Yunyun say anything. , which already explains things very well. What's more, there was an unfathomable young man in white beside those children at that time. In his words, he didn't take Bailong Cave seriously at all.

The beloved disciple who reached the cave realm when he was less than ten years old was therefore banned by her. He seemed to be a very honest child while practicing in the mountains, but he never thought that he would become a troublemaker once he left the mountain.

It was not that Ye Yunyun deliberately rubbed salt into her friend's wounds.

But the hidden worries on the mountain top of my family are indeed bigger than the sky.

Not to mention Xu Qingzhu, an outsider, even this girl Ye Xuanji didn't know about some of the inside stories.

For example, Guo Bailu, an extremely talented and extremely young martial artist in the Golden Body Realm.

Not long after the other party left the boundary of Pushan, he encountered a silent attack, which was extremely dangerous. Only with Jiang Shangzhen's interference, Guo Bailu was able to escape the unreasonable disaster that was destined to be traceless. Even with Jiang Shangzhen's level and means, he was unable to really take down the assassin. The assassin seemed to have used an extremely clever method of death.

Afterwards, Wu Sheng, the Martial Saint, received the cross-continental flying sword message from Pushan Yuncaotang, and immediately quietly returned to his hometown of Tongyezhou.

He originally planned to have a fist fight with Ye Yunyun. However, he was rejected by Ye Yunyun. Although Wu Chen was surprised, he did not force it.

It's not that he was angry at Pushan because his disciple Guo Bailu was attacked, far from it, but Wu Shu felt that he just happened to be "on the way".

Thanks to Jiang Shangzhen's early warning and fear that both she and Wu Shu would fall into a trap, Ye Yunyun did not agree to the long-awaited boxing match with Wu Shu.

After that, Ye Yunyun began to secretly sort out the context, which was a painting of a fairy facing the wall. Only the back was visible, but the face of the person in the painting was not visible.

There is quite a sense of "life and time are at odds with each other, which is not tolerated in the world".

Therefore, there are rumors from the outside world that Huang Yiyun of Pushan Yuncaotang is preparing to retreat, put aside martial arts, concentrate on practicing Taoism, and hope to gain immortality and ascend to the realm. It is really not some nonsense.

Ye Yunyun suddenly said to herself: "Why don't Pushan just follow the announcement of the lifting of the ban? It seems that the situation cannot help us pretend to be deaf and dumb."

After all, Tong Yezhou is no longer the same Tong Yezhou who had higher eyes than before.

Back then, "everything but Middle Earth is Middle and Lower Continent" has now become a big joke.

And from now on, he is destined to be laughed at by the other eight continents for hundreds of years.

In the past, during the Yamashita Dynasty, when local officials met officials from the Ministry of Human Resources who were out of the capital, there was a saying that they would be promoted to the third level of officialdom.

Now in Tongye Continent, when I see monks from other continents, especially Aquarius Continent, they seem to be in the same situation, how useless and aggrieved.

Ye Yunyun turned around and said: "In the leap month, I wish the retreat a success."

Xu Qingzhu laughed at himself: "Even if you are lucky enough to reach the upper five realms, so what? I have never seen a dwarf watch a show. They just follow other people's opinions."

In the small Aquarius Continent in the north, when the war became fierce, Da Li was actually able to block the pace of the barbarian army with the power of one country, so that the two sides fought from Laolong City to Dadu in the central part. The heritage of this continent is truly After the truth came out, outsiders were shocked to discover that it was such a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Ye Xuanji suddenly whispered: "Grandma, the newspaper said that the Chen Jianxian of Luo Luo Mountain was also dressed in a green shirt with a hosta on his head, and that young mountain master also had a disciple who founded the mountain, I think his name is Pei Qian. Haha, Zheng Qian, make money, Pei Qian, lose money..."

Ye Yunyun glared and said, "Read more, practice diligently, and say less stupid things."

Ye Xuanji immediately stopped, lowered her head, and said oh.

Ye Yunyun raised her hand, twisted a blue bird talisman, opened the origami and looked at the contents, put the talisman away into her sleeves, and said to her friend: "It's leap month, a guest has come to the mountain, are you going back to Pushan with me?"

Xu Qingzhu smiled and said: "Forget it, I'm done touring the mountains and rivers, I'll go back home directly."

Ye Yunyun thought for a moment and said, "I'll send Xuanji some distance back to the mountain first."

Ye Xuanji got the decree from her grandma and immediately hurried back to Pushan against the wind.

Traveling north with Xu Qingzhu Yufeng, Xu Qingzhu asked with a smile: "Can I ask who it is that makes you have to rush all night to entertain guests?"

Ye Yunyun smiled and said: "He is the distinguished foreigner who can ask Qinghu Palace to send two pots of Yuyiwan. Logically speaking, I should actually greet him at the mountain gate."

Xu Qingzhu was in high spirits, "I changed my mind. I will go back to Pushan with you! What does Master Cao look like, how old is he, and does he have any Taoist companions?"

Ye Yunyun said: "Continue on your way."

In the end, they said goodbye to Xu Qingzhu thousands of miles away. The two parties were not very fast in wind control. After all, this time the master of the White Dragon Cave was going to close the barrier of life and death.

But even so, she still returned to Pushan earlier than Ye Xuanji.

Because after Ye Yunyun said goodbye to her friends, she let go of her hands and feet and switched to Zhijiang Wufu to travel far and wide, with wind and lightning and thunder in the sky.

The place where Pushan entertains guests has been replaced by a listening to clouds and watching rain pavilion located on the top of the mountain and on the edge of the cliff.

Chen Pingan only let Xiao Mo enjoy the scenery in a white jade square outside the pavilion. Pei Qian and Cao Qinglang had already stayed in two adjacent mansions in Xianfu.

Chen Ping'an had a frank and heart-to-heart talk with Huang Yiyun.

Some straight to the point words, self-reported identity.

Chen Pingan of Luopo Mountain is about to establish the next sect in Xiandu Mountain in Tongyezhou and invites Senior Ye to participate in the sect celebration at the beginning of next year.

Moreover, Jiang Shangzhen is the chief worshiper of Luopo Mountain.

Ye Yunyun didn't have any doubts. No wonder Jiang Shangzhen was so close to the green-robed guest in front of him last time at Yunku Paradise.

And why did "Cao Mo" call himself a junior? Because he was just a young man in his forties.

After being shocked, she became even more determined. Not only did she need to lift the ban on her own Shantou Mansion newspaper, but she also needed to buy a few more Mansion newspapers from other immortal houses in the future. She couldn't be frugal with that little fairy money.

In the past, I was worried that the disciples of Yuncaotang would be distracted, but now people from all over the world are crossing the river and doing many things overtly and covertly. How can the future Pushan Yuncaotang not be distracted?

Ye Yunyun looked solemn and asked: "Does Chen Jianxian want to rely on the lower sect and join forces with the Yugui Sect, so that the south and the north can cooperate with each other, and in our Tongye Continent... establish a mountain rule where all the heroes bow their heads?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Luopo Mountain does not think so, but some of the actions in the future may give outsiders the impression that they are done like this. As for Jiang Shangzhen, he is only the chief worshiper of our Luopo Mountain, but Luopo Mountain and Yu Guizong There is no entanglement of interests.”

Ye Yunyun frowned slightly, but she didn't think the other party said nonsense.

Even the fools on the mountain can see that in Tongye Continent today, shopping malls are like battlefields, a battleground for military strategists. Otherwise, why would those cross-continental ferries come to Tongye Continent? Let's just say that Xu Jun, the swordsman who drives the mountain crossing, doesn't like to stay on the top of that mountain and drink the northwest wind every day.

Chen Pingan continued: "What I call 'outsiders' refers to both the local monks from Tongye Continent and the monks from Aquarius Continent from my hometown. To put it simply, there are no exceptions outside of Xiandu Mountain."

Ye Yunyun took out two pots of her own wine and threw one to the other party. She raised her head and took a sip of wine. She wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand and asked, "If Chen Jianxian can really keep his word, it will be easy for him to be a different person inside and outside. In the end, he will fall into the trap." Neither of them pleases both sides, so why does Chen Jianxian want to do this? He is not naturally interested in upholding justice, right?"

Chen Ping'an said: "If the lower sect wants to grow, of course it will make money, and of course it will compete for territory. Xiandu Mountain will definitely be looking for Taoist embryos in the future, but the style of conduct will be measured, and it will be reasonable with everyone on the mountain and down the mountain. It will be like chess, where you eat me and I eat you, or exchange pieces with each other. In the end, no matter who wins, both sides will have a broken game."

Ye Yunyun asked with a smile: "So it's more like a game of Go? Unless Chen Jianxian and Xiandushan slay the dragon, then the loser will still have a lot of chess pieces left on the board?"

Speaking of hands, Huang Yiyun is actually a well-deserved national player on the mountain, but she rarely plays chess with outsiders, and her disciple Xue Huai is so good at chess that he is known as the top ten in the continent outside the mountain, but under her master On the side, Xue Huai has never won a game.

Chen Pingan was silent when he heard the words, he just smiled and raised the wine bottle, and he and Ye Yunyun drank separately.

Ye Yunyun had been drinking, and she was indeed straight-tempered, "Could Chen Jianxian please tell me the right words!"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "It's just like Lord Ye Shan said, and the first sect leader of our sect has extremely high chess skills. Even if you look at the entire world, he is a master."

Ye Yunyun asked: "Isn't it Zheng...Pei Qian? Is it Cao Qinglang, the Qi practitioner?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said with a smile: "None of them. We will know when Lord Ye Shan attends the celebration in person."

Ye Yunyun hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "Master Chen, I have to say something unpleasant. Why do you want to reason with outsiders in a foreign country? Are you even willing to embarrass people in your hometown?"

Tigers in the mountains harm people, and it is even more hateful to work for tigers.

Ye Yunyun will never allow her Pushan Yuncaotang to be led by someone's nose without knowing it, and eventually do anything that goes against her original intention and conscience.

If today's young swordsman who is about to have his next sect cannot really convince himself, then Ye Yunyun will even double the price and convert it into a large amount of immortal money, and return the two furnaces of Yuyiwan with Qinghu Palace, and will never let them go. Pushan has any connection with Xiandu Mountain.

Chen Pingan was silent for a moment and said from his heart: "My husband, among the three continents of Hedao, you are Tongyezhou."

Ye Yunyun was about to drink, so she quickly put away the flask and said in shock: "Chen Jianxian's husband is the literary saint who has regained his status as an accomplice of the Confucian Temple?!"

"Do I dare to talk about this kind of thing?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Master Yeshan, the ban on the Pushan Residence report can really be lifted. If nothing happens, the news on the mountain will be worth a lot of money. After all, we are not just worried about having no place. Chief Zhou, who spends money, works hard to earn money according to his conscience, and does not mind having too much money."

Tonight, during the discussion in the pavilion, the other party didn't say a word of nonsense. I never thought that Ye Yunyun would endure it again and again. Finally, she couldn't help but said a word of nonsense, "Then you are Cui Guoshi's junior brother?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Of course."

Ye Yunyun suddenly smiled, "Mr. Chen, it's better to hurry up than to hurry up. How about we play the next round?! If you win, let alone attend the next sect celebration, I will be your honored guest in Xiandu Mountain."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Forget it today, there will definitely be a chance in the future."

You may also need to play a few games with one of my proud disciples who calls himself "The True Tradition of Mr. Jinde's Chess Techniques".

Seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to play chess, Ye Yunyun felt regretful, but it was difficult to hold the other party's hand and talk. There was no such kind of friendship between landlords in the world.

I have to blame myself. I don’t have a good reputation for playing chess. I guess it’s because my opponent thinks my skills are not good enough?

Afterwards, she asked her disciple Xue Huai to teach her a game of boxing. The old boy played so many games of chess outside the mountain, and she didn't even say who did you learn chess from?

Chen Pingan asked: "Master Ye Shan, can you lend me the picture of the immortal facing the wall?"

Ye Yunyun nodded, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and gently threw it to the other party.

Only then did she realize that the two of them were in a small pavilion, as far apart as possible.

Chen Ping'an hung the scroll in front of him, then put the wine bottle in his hand aside, then put his fingers together and touched it gently, slowly unfolding the scroll, squinted his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

Chen Pingan did not raise his head, and continued to slowly unfold the extremely long scroll. He had just finished reading the preface, and asked in his heart: "I heard Jiang Shangzhen say something before, saying that after Lord Ye Shan reached the Yupu realm, he did not complete the work of his ancestors. My long-cherished wish is to help Pushan become a sect in a legitimate way. There seems to be a secret involved in this? Regarding this matter, Jiang Shangzhen didn’t say a word and just asked me to visit Lord Ye personally in the future."

Ye Yunyun said: "Before the death of the ancestor, he left a last word for future generations of mountain masters to pass on from generation to generation, and it can only be passed down personally. Before Tongye Sect seals the mountain, Pushan is not allowed to join the sect."

Chen Ping'an raised his head and said: "The assassination of Guo Bailu seems to have been done by the other party to scare the snake, and the young man was in danger. In fact, it was... Jiang Shangzhen did it."

Ye Yunyun was a little surprised, but she quickly figured out the reason and smiled: "It is indeed his usual style. If you do a good deed, you will be scolded."

If it hadn't been for this matter, Ye Yunyun might have actually agreed to Wu Chen's questioning.

Wu Shun's Wenquan, there is no point-and-finish statement. This is also the source of criticism for this martial arts saint. His shots are too heavy and his martial ethics are lacking. In those Wenquan fights that were famous all over the world, the people who took the boxing were... It didn't end well. One of the great masters who was a martial artist in the past even had his body in pieces because of the heavy punch.

If Guo Bailu, the great disciple who he highly regarded as the founding disciple, was really cut off from martial arts under the nose of Pushan Yuncaotang, I am afraid that no matter how deep Wu Shu understands the righteousness, the matter of boxing would be neither serious nor light.

Once Ye Yunyun is seriously injured or her martial arts falls, Ye Yunyun, who has this picture of the Immortal Facing the Wall, has only one choice, to concentrate on practicing.

Ye Yunyun put down the wine bottle, raised her hand, and made a circle. She paused several times during the process, as if a series of key points were linked together, starting from this wall picture and ending with this fairy picture. . Ye Yunyun, who dares to scheme like this, and who can scheme against a martial artist at the end of the world and a Qi practitioner at the Jade Pu Realm,

At least you have to start as an immortal. At the same time, there is no Ascension Realm in Tongyezhou today. Du Mao and Xun Yuan are both dead. Jiang Shangzhen briefly reached the Ascension Realm, but fell down during the battle. Wei Ying was still just an Immortal Realm sword cultivator. The last time I met Jiang Shangzhen at Yunku Blessed Land, I mentioned Du Hanling, the master of Nascent Soul Realm of Jinding Temple. Earlier, Ye Yunyun met Du Hanling at Taoyedu in Daquan Dynasty. The two parties didn't talk much. At that time, it was mostly her friend Xu Qingzhu who was talking to her.

Jiang Shangzhen had warned Ye Yunyun before in Huangheji that she should be careful about two things.

The origin of the wall-facing picture, Wu Shu's Wenquan, and the Golden Summit view of Du Hanling.

The target was pointed at Du Hanling. In fact, Jiang Shangzhen just didn't tell Ye Yunyun at that time. If he really wanted to have a stable life as a monk, he would have to kill Du Hanling directly.

Ye Yunyun had previously been sure of the ins and outs of this painting, and there was nothing wrong with it. Jiang Shangzhen said that if there is no problem at all, there must be a big problem.

He even said that if Cao Mo didn't show up, he would follow him and hide in Pushan Yuncaotang to help protect the road and see if he could find one or two people who were cheating and plotting evil intentions.

In the end, Jiang Shangzhen beat his chest hard, and said with certainty and vows, Sister Ye, just wait, and soon Du Guanzhu, who is as good at breaking through the realm as himself and better at suppressing the realm, will be in the Yupu realm.

Jinding Temple, a sect candidate, Du Hanling ascended to the Yupu realm, Jinding Temple took advantage of the opportunity to become one of the Haoran sects, it was just and natural, it was a matter of course.

The sky resembles the shape of the earth, with seven appearances and two concealments, and the sky resembles the earth. Together with this formation, we use the golden top to view the top of the mountain, which is refined into the sky pivot. Nine furnaces cook the sun and the moon. The iron ruler commands thunder. At dawn, the water of the five lakes is refined. At night, Fried Dipper. Sitting in the great formation, Du Hanling's state was equivalent to that of an immortal who "leads the formation to kill". In the northern part of Tongyezhou, it is completely invincible. He can replace the dying Tongye Sect and become the leader of the Immortal Family in the mountains and rivers of Banzhou. He can be a veritable king of the mountain. With the Peach Leaf Alliance as his body, he can lead the heroes and compete with the forces of other continents externally. In fact, he can compete with Yugui in the south. Zong Yaoyao confronts each other, sets up a large formation, ascends to the sect, strives for luck, and gathers the power of the times. In the end, it is equivalent to taking half of the continent's mountains and rivers into his pocket...

Chen Ping'an seemed to understand what Ye Yunyun was thinking, and said with a smile: "Guanzhu Du is a hero, the one who achieves great things."

At Chunshan Academy, Chen Pingan mentioned this matter to his husband. There was no taboo in talking to him. Chen Pingan directly expressed his suspicion that Jinding Guan and Du Hanling had most likely met Wen Hai in their early years. careful.

The old scholar scratched his beard, but in the end, he could only say "just wait and see what happens" and let the disciples who were closed down pay more attention.

A picture on the wall has been completely spread out in front of Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, "Master Ye Shan, I have a guess. It may be nonsense and a little offensive, so I hope Lord Ye will listen to it and forget it."

Ye Yunyun smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, just tell me."

Although this person was Jiang Shangzhen's close friend on the mountain, and there was a suspicion that "birds of a feather flock together, people flock together", Ye Yunyun still knew the general character of the other person after getting along with him twice. She was not the same person as Jiang Shangzhen, and was definitely not like him. He is someone who likes to mess around with women.

This fairy scroll is full of prefaces, postscripts and seals, but they are all fakes, except that the handwriting and seals are almost authentic. There is a postscript in it, which is taken from the sentence of a Taoist from the valley. After all, how many people have a real deer, and they don’t know that they dream of being a fish all day long. Chen Ping'an can guarantee that this verse is where the formation's eye is, or one of it.

Chen Pingan said slowly: "It is very possible that there is a person hiding behind the scenes, just waiting for Lord Ye Shan to fall into the trap and get into it by mistake. For example, when he is retreating against the wall to try to break the bottleneck of Yu Pu Realm, this person in the painting will Turn around. If we use another inappropriate analogy, all the postscripts and seals are a collection of characters, a code, and a deception. In the final analysis, they are a formation with sinister intentions. In the end, the characters may be refined into a poem that confuses people's hearts. "True Poetry", then the man behind the scenes will be able to float to the secret room of Pushan. The other person is like an alien demon who has escaped from the trap. He has long been eyeing Lord Yeshan. He is just waiting for you to take the initiative to open all the restrictions on the picture scroll. By then, you will not know who he is in the dream. As a guest, that person can forcibly become a Taoist companion with Master Ye Shan...for a while."

There are some words that Chen Pingan should not be too explicit about, such as the dream of clouds and rain, the joy of fish and water, etc.

Although the Taoist theory of Fangzhongshu is a heretical way, it is not a demonic way. Monks would not regard this technique as a scourge. But this one is, of course, an exception.

Layers of formations and looking at flowers in the fog are meant to cover up a certain truth. For example, this so-called picture of an immortal facing the wall is actually an... erotic picture.

Ye Yunyun stared at Chen Pingan for a moment, nodded and said solemnly: "Master Chen, I've got it all."

It is tantamount to an eviction order.

Chen Pingan stood up to say goodbye, put away the scroll again and returned it to Ye Yunyun, then left the pavilion with the pot of wine.

See, this is what happens when you tell the truth.

Ye Yunyun felt heavy, sighed, and shook her head vigorously. She put away the scroll, faced the back of the green-shirted figure who had walked out of the pavilion, clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for reminding me!"

Chen Pingan turned his head, kept walking, smiled and waved his hands.

Ye Yunyun walked down the steps quickly, followed up with Chen Jianxian who had two swords hanging on his waist, and asked curiously: "Why did Mr. Chen go out with swords this time?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "This time I came to Tongyezhou to establish the next sect. I didn't think there would be any opportunities to fight and kill."

There is Xiaomo by my side.

Ye Yunyun glanced at the young monk with a yellow hat and blue shoes, and smiled: "Can I ask a question, is this Xiao Mo a sword cultivator?"

The man was carrying a bamboo box and holding a hiking pole. He noticed Huang Yiyun's gaze and immediately nodded politely and smiled.

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "It's a sword cultivator."

Afterwards, Chen Ping'an said he wanted to enjoy the scenery for a while longer, and Ye Yunyun left first.

Xiaomo raised his head and glanced at the night. After looking back, he stopped talking.

In ancient times, the Beidou was an imperial chariot. It was used to command orders, establish the four seasons and the five elements, and move the knots to determine the various periods, all tied to the Beidou.

Du Hanling from the Golden Summit Temple is not very high-level and has great ambitions.

Chen Ping'an looked at the stars elsewhere and said with a smile: "This Lu family in Middle-earth has extremely high ambitions. He probably wants to imitate an ascension platform. Once he succeeds, the so-called earth immortals in the Lu family in Middle-earth will become It’s truly an immortal.”

Compared to the imitation white jade capital of the Great Li Dynasty, if one could imitate an ascension platform, it would be a truly masterpiece.

Xiaomo thought for a while and finally gave a three-word comment, "I want to go to heaven."

Xiaomo raised his head and looked at the moon. He saw the Qingshu Palace in the world and the Guanghan Palace in the sky.

The two ascension platforms in ancient times were in charge of the ascension of men and women on the earth.

One of the ascension platforms uses the goddess bluebird to send messages to the human world.

Chen Pingan stood by the railing with his sleeves in his sleeves, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and breathed out a breath of mist.

Those who stand in my way of patching up a continent's mountains and rivers are monks asking me for swordsmanship, and warriors asking me for boxing. The consequences are at your own risk.

Xiao Mo held the green bamboo stick in his arms, leaned on the railing, turned around and asked with a smile: "Master, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and replied: "You must practice well."
