Sword of Coming

Cui Dongshan was alone and took the lead to walk out of the forbidden land of thunder pool created with golden sword energy.

Xiao Mo said: "There is nothing wrong with it."

Cui Dongshan nodded and said with a smile: "Sir, you need to retreat for a while, we will just wait."

The young man in white holds the back of his head with both hands, and Xiao Mo, who wears a yellow hat and blue shoes, holds a green bamboo stick in his arms.

Cui Dongshan said from his heart: "In addition to the most important thing, sir, I will also refine the 'Moon in the Well' a little bit to see if I can concretely create a series of... mazes of heaven and earth, maybe the Xiandu Mountain outside, It may be the summer palace that no longer exists, or it may be the Lizhu Cave Heaven before his hometown fell to the ground. The more detailed Mr. understands about the "maze", the closer he gets to the "truth". Therefore, if this matter comes to pass, Mr. In addition to quantity, this natal flying sword has mastered the second kind of 'evolution' magical power, and combined with the caged bird that forms its own small world, it can be even more foolproof."

Xiao Mo was a little confused and asked: "May I ask Sect Master Cui, why didn't the young master use the moon in the well to cooperate with the bird in the cage?"

Cui Dongshan laughed dumbly, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. From zero to one and from one to ten, the former is always more difficult to think of and achieve. What's more, I said, sir, what you pursue is the 'truth', not an illusion, so every It is already very difficult to make the people, objects, and events that evolved from 'Moon in the Well' almost real."

Xiao Mo understood at first glance, nodded and said: "In this way, it is indeed as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Chen Ping'an's inspiration came from Li Baoping's hand gestures at the Chinese Confucian Temple, "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, and three gives birth to all things." And later, he met the culprit of Tuoyue Mountain, Wenjian, and the dense corridor built by the latter. Chen Pingan was again at the waterless pond behind the Luoluo Mountain Bamboo Tower, and remembered the Buddhist saying, "It's like a lotus flower without water, just like the sun and moon without staying in the sky." Finally, Chen Pingan remembered the prison in the Great Wall of Jianqi. The self-built "Xingting" inside.

That's why he asked Xiaomo to help protect the road at Wangxing Flower House in Daquan Dynasty. Chen Ping'an made two attempts. One was to "copy" Tuoyue Mountain with the help of many "rubbings" from Xinhu Library. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the land, every flower, every grass, every mountain and every house, are all present in detail, but he failed when he tried to "flower". After being reminded by the stranger outside the house, Chen Ping'an no longer pursued the big idea, only the great road. It manifested the growth of a purple-gold lotus seed, but before the flower bloomed, it still gave up on its own initiative.

Xiaomo's eyes lit up and he stopped talking.

Cui Dongshan seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking, nodded and said: "You have thought of it, and I have thought of it, so sir must have thought of it earlier. It's just that this move consumes too much money, and it's not the three kinds of fairy money. But it’s extremely scarce gold and copper coins. Moreover, my husband has fallen into decline again. The most urgent thing is to recuperate from his injuries and restore his realm, so it’s probably that he put it on hold temporarily.”

"The four sides of the house hang down to form the universe, and the top of the boat is called the universe."

Cui Dongshan looked up at the sky, stamped his foot on the ground, put away his hands, shook his sleeves, and murmured: "The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe."

A Moon in a Well, the number of flying swords is directly linked to the level of the realm. For example, when Chen Ping'an and Lu Chen borrowed the Taoist methods of the Fourteenth Realm, they had a sword battle with the disciple of the great ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain, which evolved in one go. There are nearly half a million flying swords. In fact, Chen Ping'an "hid his clumsiness" intentionally or unintentionally. If he did not hesitate to lose his spirit, he could use his hands and feet to use the sword that was almost at its peak in quality and perfect in appearance. "Moon by the Well" or even "Moon in the Sky", the number of flying swords is estimated to reach a staggering 800,000.

As for the bird in the cage, Chen Pingan, as Cui Dongshan had expected, had long figured out the possibility of the second natal magical power, which was related to the long river of time.

This is why Chen Ping'an recently traveled and smoked dry cigarettes like Old Man Yang. Even if he couldn't adapt to it, he still smoked it.

Every time Old Man Yang discusses matters with people in the backyard of the medicine shop, he smokes dry cigarettes to obscure the secrets of heaven. The root of the great road is just to confuse and disturb a long river of time. Unless you are the founder of the three religions, you will be a great monk who is proficient in the fourteenth realm. , such as the old Taoist temple masters, would never even think of trying to find any clues by going upstream along a long river of time.

It's just that the clouds of dry smoke are the incense of the world that only gods can control, or to say the least, the second-class authentic works similar to calligraphy and paintings are gold and copper coins.

So Chen Pingan quietly asked Changsheng for a few bags of gold and copper coins at Fengyuan Ferry. Of course he knew how to keep accounts.

In Cui Dongshan's view, once the moon in the well can transform the world, it is almost "the truth".

Coupled with the caged bird, one can control the flow of time in a small world.

If outsiders are involved, the consequences can be imagined.

Xiao Mo suddenly felt guilty and said, "If I had known this was the case, I would have promised Fellow Taoist Lingchun."

Cui Dongshan turned his head and asked with a smile: "How do you say it?"

It turned out to be Changming, the headmaster of the sect with the name Lingchun. On the Fengyuan Ferry, she wanted to buy some of the best swordsmanship that had been lost from Xiaomo for the new direct disciple Nalan Yu. The price was random. Xiao Moding, she can exchange it with bags of gold and copper coins.

Xiao Mo felt that he was already a registered worshiper of the Shang Zong. How dare he accept money to teach Nalan Jade Swordsman the swordsmanship? It was just a small matter. No matter how politely he refused, Xiao Mo had to say a harsh word. If he wanted to give For money, I won’t give you the sword manual.

As a result, Zhang Lu's longevity really doesn't require swordsmanship.

Anyway, when it comes to spending money to buy sword skills, she casts a wide net.

Cui Dongshan joked: "Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, you are too honest and upright. How can this kind of thing be so rigid? Just ask Changsheng sister for a bag and a half of gold and copper coins, and you will also give away your sword skills. It's a favor." There you have it, the best of both worlds.”

Xiao Mo accepted the instruction humbly, nodded and said, "I still haven't been able to truly follow the local customs."

Cui Dongshan said: "I have a suggestion. At the foot of Cishan's Immortal Peak, isn't there a Qingyi River and a Luobao Beach? Later I will give it to you as a place to practice Taoism. You can build a hut or something like that. Preach there regularly,”

Xiao Mo was a little embarrassed, "Xiao Mo can only say that his realm is acceptable, but this matter of discussing Tao, no matter how important it is, is really a shallow Tao practice, and teaching others will probably only make people laugh. There are also Young Master and Cui Zongzhu Zhu Yu in front of me, Xiao Mo How dare you be a teacher?"

In ancient times, no matter what the origin of a "Taoist" was, the word "preach" carried an unimaginable weight.

Cultivation, enlightenment, attainment, and preaching.

Only one of the four is indispensable to be considered a true "Taoist".

So earlier, at Taoyuan Bieye, my young master and the Nascent Soul monk named Lu Ying gave away twelve words for free.

Meditate, respect and warn the world, rest on the path and practice it until you can practice it.

It simply spoke to Xiaomo's heart.

People who practice Taoism need to calm down and think, respect everything in the world, and at the same time be wary of the world, so don't easily say that you have cultivated a great way.

Still a long way to go.

Cui Dongshan raised his hands and made fists respectively. Finally, with their palms facing each other, he clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "Have you ever told me, sir, that you should neither be arrogant, arrogant, or look down on others, nor should you belittle yourself and have no self in your heart? Look down on yourself. Only when you don't go to extremes can you be considered a gentleman and a decent person."

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "That makes sense."

In fact, Cui Dongshan had one more thing that he didn't say much.

The old owner of this place was Tian Wan, so her senior brother Zou Zi must have walked through this cave ruins. Once he can walk freely in the long river of time, he can find an opportunity to have a sword fight with Zou Zi in the future.

Although it may not be possible, it is not impossible.

No mountains or rivers can stop or defeat the pair of straw sandals on Mr.'s feet.

Xiao Mo said: "After leaving here, when the Feng Yuan ferry returns to Xiandu Mountain, I will go to find fellow Taoist Lingchun and ask for a few bags of gold and copper coins."

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "It is not easy to buy golden body fragments nowadays. There is no need to think about Aquarius Continent. The Great Li court will not miss anything. Even if someone sells it, it will be at a sky-high price. Tong Yezhou, plus the Fuyaozhou, may still have a chance. After the golden bodies of the landscape gods were broken, they may not have all been raided by the barbarian military tents, but they can only be regarded as small leaks that can be picked up. After these years, We need to recuperate and recuperate, and everyone on the mountain and down the mountain has recovered, and everyone is full of ghosts and ghosts."

Wearing a green shirt, he walked out of the restricted area of ​​​​the thunder pool.

Cui Dongshan's mood was complicated, and he was not deceiving others by deceiving himself.

Someone is listening.

The husband wants to be separated from him.

When a group of people came to the foot of the mountain, Cui Dongshan introduced: "This mountain is called Chisong Mountain. It is a surprise to be able to win it. In fact, at first, Chief Zhou and I fought hard to prevent Tian Wan from leaving Aquarius Continent. It was Ben Ben." We went to the famous Cicada Cave."

This unknown cave site in history is not among the thirty-six small caves. It is now named Changchun-Dongtian by Cui Dongshan.

Tian Wan, the genius brother in charge of intelligence at Zhuyu Peak, Zhengyang Mountain, and Shuilong Peak...

Chen Pingan and Cui Dongshan looked at each other.

Cui Dongshan nodded vigorously, this is feasible.

Chen Pingan shook his head. This kind of impromptu idea was inappropriate and inappropriate.

Cui Dongshan's eyes indicated, sir, you have to ask Xiao Mo what he means, otherwise it will be a different kind of one-note speech, not like sir.

Chen Pingan still shook his head.

When facing the members of Luopo Mountain and Xiandu Mountain, Xiaomo would set up a barrier by himself and not check his heartstrings, let alone his own son and Sect Master Cui, so he only vaguely realized that the matter was related to him, and said tentatively: " If the young master encounters any difficulties with Xiao Mo, it will be Xiao Mo's dereliction of duty."

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with sir. I want to put a burden on Xiao Mo and take care of the Luopo Mountain spy matter. Unfortunately, sir refused."

Xiao Mo thought about it and said, "I can take the initiative first and help you from the side. If it turns out that Xiao Mo is quite good at it, of course I am willing to share some of the worries for the young master."

Chen Ping'an joked: "Xiao Mo, you are a peak swordsman in the Ascension Realm, and you have to deal with spies every day. Don't you feel that you have lost your status?"

Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "Just think of it as being able to read books without spending any money. Reading like this is the most interesting thing in the world."

Cui Dongshan nodded vigorously, "It makes sense, just like wine that you don't have to spend money to drink. It is the best wine in the world."

Chen Ping'an slapped Cui Dongshan on the head, "I run my own shop and make wine. How much does it cost to drink?"

Cui Dongshan continued to introduce: "This small cave has a small boundary of mountains and rivers, only a hundred miles in radius. However, the abundance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not inferior to that of Tongye Sect's Wutong Small Cave. The total amount is at most two to three percent less." , this is because I didn’t throw any fairy money into it.”

Cui Dongshan shook his snow-white sleeves and said proudly, "Ha, who made me recognize my half-sister who has been separated for many years."

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, "The common people in the world look at the sky, and the blue sky is like a mirror. The Taoist monks overlook the mountains and rivers on the mountain. In fact, it is also a mirror, but it is relatively bumpy."

If he is not careful, the monk will be like seeing an abyss on the mountain. I see all kinds of people again.

Cui Dongshan nodded, knowing that his husband was reminding him not to play with people's hearts.

There is a gurgling stream at the foot of the mountain. The stream is red, like cinnabar carefully refined by the immortal family, and the weight of the flowing water is far beyond ordinary.

In his hometown of Lizhudongtian, Ruan Qiong built a blacksmith shop and a sword-making furnace by the river because he found the gloomy Longxu River suitable for making swords.

Chen Pingan squatted by the stream, holding water in his hands, which had the luster of beautiful jade.

Cui Dongshan squatted aside and explained: "The reason why the stream has this strange phenomenon is that the ancient pines on the mountain, which are often thousands of years old, and the immortal flowers naturally wither and flourish, nourishing the flowing water year after year, turning the red 'The characters are constantly being consolidated, and they are naturally an excellent material for talismans. We can use this to make a deal with Lao Yu or Longhu Mountain later. According to my estimate, if we ration 3,000 kilograms of water a year, it will not Affects the foundation of the great path of Dongtian.”

But at least within a few years, Cui Dongshan does not plan to make any money from this cave, which will be of great use.

The exotic flowers and plants in Chisong Mountain, including Zhi Ginseng and Poria cocos, have been marked one by one by Cui Dongshan and recorded in the book.

On the way to the mountain, Chen Pingan asked casually: "Do you have any account books?"

Cui Dongshan said: "I have some here, but Master Zhong doesn't have them yet. There are countless strange flowers and plants in the mountain. There are 216 trees in a small hill at the age of 100 years. There will be 216 trees in the next three years. A hundred years is a medium hurdle, and those who have passed three hundred years old are seventy. A thousand years is a big hurdle, similar to the life and death of monks. There are sixteen who survive this calamity. In addition, there are three unique red pine trees in the mountain. There are one hundred and sixty trees, which are more ancient than the flowers and plants. There are one hundred and ninety-five trees that are more than a thousand years old and alive, and there are nineteen trees that are more than three thousand years old. Overall, the number is extremely impressive."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "A veritable mountain of gold and silver."

In addition, on the top of the mountain, there is a Jiangque Immortal Mansion surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds.

Chen Ping'an came to a withered ancient pine that had collapsed on the ground. The growth rings were extremely fine. After a quick glance, he found that the tree was about four thousand years old. Chen Ping'an broke off a large piece of golden rosin and held it in his hands. , whether it is used for medicine or for refining ink and making incense, it is excellent. Chen Pingan looked around and saw that this mountain was really full of fairy money. As long as you climb the mountain, you can pick it up at will.

For no reason, I thought of my visit to Luzhou in Beiju. It was obviously much harder.

Therefore, Xiandu Mountain, the lower sect of Luolu Mountain, built by Cui Dongshan, is actually not short of money, and the shortage of people is only temporary.

No wonder Cui Dongshan, the leader of the lower sect, can be so tough. Of course, he spares no effort to dig up the upper sect's walls.

Chen Ping'an did not put the rosin in his sleeve, but casually placed it on the rotten and withered pine branch.

Xiao Mo noticed that Sect Master Cui on the side seemed to be looking forward to it, his eyes full of expectation. When he saw his young master put the rosin back, he looked a little disappointed.

Chen Pingan clapped his hands, continued climbing, and asked casually: "The Cicada Slough Cave has disappeared for a long time, but it has never been removed. It is still one of the thirty-six small caves. Is there anything to say about it?"

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "The Cicada Cave is one of the most important sites in the ancient Shu world, because it is said that there were several ancient sword immortals who escaped from the cicada and ascended to the sky during the day. Cicada Slough. Sites like Dadu and Jianghe Dragon Palace in later generations are simply incomparable. Because every Sword Immortal's remains and Tao Yun remnants may carry one or even several ancient swordsmanship."

Chen Pingan asked curiously: "How did the cicada disappear from Aquarius Continent?"

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "This was originally the place where master Zheng Juzhong attained enlightenment. This guy was good at swordsmanship and had a fierce temper. He was a foreigner who traveled across continents to Aquarius Continent, but he still got this biggest opportunity. Well, it was in this small cave that he ascended to the Ascension Realm. Later, for some reason, this guy aroused public anger and was beaten by more than a dozen local and other continent sword immortals. The two sides fought and fought. The landslide and the ground cracked, causing heavy casualties. Eight upper-level sword cultivators and six Nascent Soul sword cultivators, a total of fourteen people, none of them ran away. They were all killed by that guy. Because it was a sword cultivator fight, both sides had to fight before handing over their swords. The status quo of life and death was established, and the battlefield was within the Cicada Cave, so the innocent people below the mountain were not harmed, and the Zhongtu Confucian Temple did not care much."

Xiao Mo praised him endlessly, no wonder he could become the man who slayed the dragon later.

Even if we don't talk about the level of swordsmanship, just talk about temper, it is very satisfying.

Chen Ping'an said: "Did Aquarius Island's sword luck start to decline from that time?"

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "Among the sword immortals who died in the battle, most of them were local sword cultivators in Aquarius Continent. They were like a wealthy family. It seemed as if their home was ransacked overnight. The situation naturally took a turn for the worse. The family fortune has been in decline for three thousand years. , it was still in a state of collapse, and Tian Wan and Bai Shang secretly joined forces to interfere with it, so it was not until you, sir, rose up that you regained some of your strength."

"The sequelae of that sword quest were huge. For Aquarius Continent, not only were all the sword immortals who died in the Cicada Cave, but also many kendo immortals were implicated. This cut off the incense of the master and the kendo spirit of all sword cultivators. Luck has been sealed within the Cicada Cave, and there is a more troublesome thing, just like the entire Aquarius Continent's swordsmanship has been completely suppressed by a foreign swordsman."

Cui Dongshan finally said with a playful smile: "After all, he is Zheng Juzhong's preacher, so he is still quite a bit arrogant."

Chen Pingan asked: "Why has there not yet been a mountain spirit that has awakened and reshaped itself in Chisong Mountain?"

Cui Dongshan sighed, "The old owner of this place must be an ancient immortal with great supernatural powers. He is probably a veritable mountain man who lives in seclusion. He is pure-minded and doesn't like liveliness by nature, so he uses a true seal. With the mountain's method, even if thousands of years pass, the plants and flowers in the mountain will still not be able to awaken. Even if he leaves this place, he still has not unlocked the prohibition of the mountains and rivers."

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but sigh: "Strange people and strange things."

According to what Tian Wan said at the time, the cicada's transformation into the cave was not with her.

She didn't lie. To be precise, she didn't even know where she was.

It was a more sophisticated mountain-closing ban than the Queen Mother's South Hairpin, and it must have been the handiwork of Tian Wan's senior brother Zou Zi. When Cui Dongshan "searched the mountain" for inspection, he was just looking for the mountain gate in Tian Wan's soul. Cui Dongshan almost got caught and capsized in the gutter.

Now Tian Wan only has a key to "open the mountain" with her. She speculates that she was taken to Lizhu Cave by her senior brother. But no matter how much Cui Dongshan divined and deduced afterwards, he could not find any clues.

Approaching the top of the mountain, Cui Dongshan suggested in a low voice: "Sir, before you go to Qingming World, you can concentrate on cultivating Taoism here."

In this Tao Mountain, you can study swordsmanship with peace of mind, practice the Tao, and melt all your life's learning and miscellaneous skills into one furnace, and finally achieve Tao ascension.

At the same time, this means that Mr. Xia Zong can stay for a long time.

As for the Luopo Mountain of Shangzong, you are used to being a hands-off shopkeeper anyway, and you have an old cook to take care of things. You also have a wealthy Chief Zhou. Mr. Xiaomo, who is an Ascension Realm sword cultivator, should be honored by name. The Ascension Realm's Transformed Heavenly Demon has become a handyman disciple...you still have the nerve to compete with me as your husband?

Chen Pingan politely declined the matter, and instead suggested: "I'll forget it. It's better to let Chai Wu, Bai Xuan, and Sun Chun Wang's three children come here to practice."

Nowadays, Chai Wu has received the "fire" as a gift from Xiao Mo, and she has successfully refined it into a life object, and she can barely be regarded as a sword cultivator.

Chen Ping'an was a little worried before. On his previous trip to the south, on the Yeyundu side of Lingbi Mountain, Feijian sent a letter to Xiandu Mountain. In addition to sending Cui Dongshan a picture of what he had witnessed and drawn by himself along the way. The mountain and river situation map also specifically asked about Chai Wu's sword refining in the letter. He received a reply from there that the little girl's sword refining went very smoothly.

In ordinary mountain sects, even within large sects, it has always been a big problem how to treat the handful of direct descendants of the ancestral hall whose monastic qualifications are worthy of the word "amazing".

Either it is easy to develop a habit of arrogance, or it is too old-fashioned and only knows how to practice, and has no understanding of the world.

For example, Ma Linshi of Bailong Cave, as the direct disciple of cave master Xu Qingzhu, has high seniority, good talent, and is a descendant of Taoist monks on the mountain. He is favored by thousands of people.

Until now, Luolu Mountain has been "unique" in this matter. It is very different from the general world on the mountain. It is simply a strange family style.

Such a sect is not something that Chen Ping'an can achieve alone. At most, he has learned from Ruan Qiong and Huolong Zhenren successively, and almost copied some of the unwritten sect rules of Longquan Sword Sect and Paidi Peak.

Among the third generation descendants of Luolu Mountain, Chai Wu. King Sun Chun, Bai Xuan.

These three children are undoubtedly the most qualified to practice Taoism. Chen Pingan and Luo Luoshan will naturally not deliberately pursue the so-called smoothness of a bowl of water.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "The qualifications of the little girl Hailiang and the little girl with dead eyes are so good. I will definitely keep them with me and preach to them carefully. But now that they all have clear teachers, I can only do some icing on the cake." It's nothing more than passing on a few side sects to them and teaching them some swordsmanship.

"For example, with Chai Wu, I'm trying not to overthrow her talent, nor to waste her cultivation qualifications. I'll see if I can help her... reach the sky in one step, directly from the Liujin Realm to the Jade Pu Realm. From the current point of view, I have some confidence. Yes, of course you still need some luck, but sir, you can expect a little bit."

After hearing this, Chen Pingan had no choice but to take out a bottle of wine and drink to calm down his shock.

It's just that Chen Ping'an doesn't mind drinking this kind of stress-relieving wine a few more times.

Liu Qi, Zhou Mi.

There is also the talented female cultivator in Qing Ming Tianxia who is among the ten young candidates.

As well as a certain reincarnation of Li Liu, they all directly entered the upper five realms from the Liujin realm.

Even if there are some omissions, they are still well-deserved. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a once-in-a-thousand-year event in the world.

Cui Dongshan said sternly: "Three Chai and Wu, it doesn't really matter whether you come here to practice or not. Even if you want to come, there is no rush. So I still stick to my previous statement and hope that you, sir, can practice here alone."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "So that I can retreat here and occupy this 'one'?"

A small cave in a sealed mountain can just support a Taoist cultivator to ascend to the realm of ascension.

Xiao Mo suddenly understood, no wonder Sect Leader Cui was eagerly waiting for the young master to put away the inconspicuous piece of rosin.

Cui Dongshan was angry and did not deny the matter.

Chen Ping'an thought for a while and said: "When Liu Jinglong and I travel to the Middle Earth Continent and return here, I will give you a definite answer. If you really want to retreat here, you have to agree to one condition."

Cui Dongshan understood the idea, nodded and said: "The student union will first step down from the position of the leader of the lower sect, and then travel around the world of Qingming with your husband."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "The former doesn't matter, you and Cao Qinglang can discuss it, but the latter must be counted and you are not allowed to break the promise."

When he reached the top of the mountain, clouds and mist shrouded his side. Cui Dongshan snapped his fingers. The clouds and mist dissipated in an instant, and his vision suddenly became clear. The vermilion door slowly opened, and the screen wall inside the door turned out to be a huge stone monument. After Chen Pingan crossed the threshold, he raised his head. Looking at the ancient words, they roughly explained the origin of this mountain, but the content of the words was obscure. To put it simply, I could recognize the words, but most of the meanings were unclear.

Daoshan Jiangfu, the fairy city thousands of miles away from Suo Chanjuan... The struggle to cross the road, the sharp enemy comes first, and the jade and the stone are all burned. The spirit and the body are all rotten, and the drinking water is the underworld... Casting a golden body with sharp iron is an act of weakening the world and belittling the world...

After bypassing the stone monument, there is an empty hall with twelve golden statues standing there, but their faces are all blurry.

Xiao Mo said: "They are the twelve high-ranking gods who once stood high in the sky."

Chen Ping'an felt the feeling in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and then took out the narrow knife to "execute". He held the knife with both hands and touched the narrow knife to the ground. In an instant, the fog of one of the statues disappeared, revealing his true appearance. He slowly opened his eyes. It was as if he was looking at Chen Ping'an.

The narrow knife that Chen Ping'an held against his palm came from the command of one of the five highest swordsmen in the past, and was named "The Executioner" by later generations.

Cui Dongshan suddenly said: "Xiao Mo, let's exit."

Xiao Mo nodded and followed the boy in white back the same way. When they stood outside the door again, the door slammed shut.

Except for the "executioner" sleeping near the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

There is also the "One-eyed One", a high-ranking god who has been dormant in the colorful world for thousands of years and was killed by Ning Yao with his sword. In the past, the priesthood was subordinate to the Armored One, and his duties changed day and night. At this moment, this statue also stands in the main hall. .

The high-ranking god who appeared in Tongye Continent from the outside once walked through the mountains and rivers of the earth and crossed the sea to the old dragon city of Aquarius Continent. However, he was blocked from landing by Chen Pingan's two senior brothers. His name was "The Echoer".

The ancestor of the male earth immortals, Old Man Yang, who lives in the backyard of the medicine shop, is the Qingtong Tianjun.

The ancestor of the female Earth Immortal was also a human monk, and she was the co-owner of the Moon in the Sky in ancient heaven.

Both sides are respectively in charge of an ascension platform that guides earthly immortals to ascend to the heights and become gods.

And these two people always treat the earth as their hometown with goodwill.

They are Taoist cultivators of the same generation as the earliest owner of the Taoist hairpin in Immortal Hairpin City and the old temple master who was the master of Bixiao Cave in Luobaotan in his early years.

Xiaomo is a little later in cultivation than these others, and is a little younger.

"The sleeper" is the master of dreams, making it easy for all living beings other than gods, especially monks who start mountain climbing, to fall into upside-down dreams, and then give birth to inner demons.

The "Speechless One" possesses the magical power of "stopping speech", so he is also called the "Heart Voice One". The heartfelt words of cultivators and the concentrated voices of pure warriors are said to come from this.

The "replicator" has created countless replicas of the sun, moon and mountains and rivers, so he is also called the "imaginer" or the "caster".

The leader of the Lei Department.

"The Arranger", under the command of the God of Fire, is responsible for the placement of the corpses of all gods.

"The one who brings order to chaos", under the command of the Water God, controls the orderly flow of the long river of time.

Finally, there is a high-ranking deity. Whether it is the Chinese Confucian Temple, the Western Buddhist Kingdom, the White Jade Capital of Qingming World, or the summer palace of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there is no record in later generations, and no name is used. It is just like a distant tribute. .

Ancient Five Supreme.

The co-lord of heaven, the one who holds the sword, the one who wears armor, the god of fire and the god of water.

After that comes the twelve high positions.

In addition to the only "anonymous", there are respectively the executioner, the one-eyed one, the sleeper, the voice of the heart, the replicator, the echoer, the leader of the Lei Department, the organizer, the turbulent person, and more The ancestors of the above two male and female earth immortals.

also.

Aunt Feng, one of the ancient wind gods.

Rain Master, the kiln worker in his hometown.

As for the old coachman in Dali Capital, his status is slightly lower. He is similar to the difference between the Six Ministers and Langguan. However, although the latter has a slightly lower "official status", he has a prominent priesthood and great authority, because the old coachman is The chief official spirit of one of the divisions of the Thunder Department in the old heaven.

Twice, Chen Pingan took out three sticks of incense from his sleeves and offered incense to the two statues.

One of them has great merits for all sentient beings in heaven and earth. Another person, Yu Chen Ping'an, has a great debt of gratitude to himself.

As the old saying goes, suffering is a blessing and teaches people to do good.

To endure hardship is to endure hardship, and it will only become more and more miserable.

There are some unspeakable sufferings. When a person finally gets through it, he can just endure it silently. Don't say anything frivolous to others who are suffering. That is just making trouble.

Walk out of the hall, walk around the stone monument, and open the door.

The eyes are clear, the vision is broad, the sky is clear and the earth is bright.

This year, during the light snow season in Tongyezhou, there were several heavy snowfalls. It was extremely cold and freezing. Every household in the fairy house on the mountain opened their doors and the mountain was covered with snow. The thick snow pressed down on the branches everywhere in the world, and the sound of broken jade could be heard one after another. I never expected to wait until the heavy snow season, but instead it just fell into a perfunctory sleet.

The twin peaks of Qingping and Banxian in Xiandu Mountain stand side by side. Qingping Peak, which is the ancestral mountain and the main peak, and Fuyao Ping on the top of the mountain are also the location of the Xiazong Ancestral Hall.

As for the secondary peak, Banxian Peak, there is the Qingyi River at the foot of the mountain and Luobaotan on the bank. Naturally, it has no connection with the Luobaotan of Bixiao Cave, the old temple master. Cui Dongshan just used it to seek good luck, hoping that For the future monks of the lower sect, whether they go to the mountains to visit immortals or go down the mountains to experience, treasures will fall like rain, and they will be put into their bags for safety. The flower-sweeping platform at the top of this peak had already been spotted by Sui Zuoyou, and she opened it as a place for cultivating Taoism.

In addition, Xiandu Mountain also has a slightly lower branch mountain, which is named Mixue Peak by Cuidong Mountain. The cliffs are very exposed and are jade-white. There will be fifty or sixty mansions built on the mountain.

Currently there is only one house, which barely looks like a fairy mansion. It was specially prepared by Cui Dongshan for his husband. No one else has this kind of treatment.

Cao Qinglang and Pei Qian followed Zhanguang and lived in the east and west wings respectively.

In the early morning of that day, Chen Ping'an withdrew from the small world of his body. After getting out of bed, he was about to put on his cloth shoes. He looked up at the light rain outside the window and put on another pair of boots.

After walking out of the house, he found Pei Qian sitting under the eaves watching the rain. After the master appeared, Pei Qian said that Cao Qinglang and Mr. Xiao Mo had gone to help the little senior brother.

As for Pei Qian herself, of course she had to stay here to take care of her master's daily life. She first asked her master if he wanted to have breakfast. After Chen Pingan nodded, Pei Qian asked his master to wait and went to the kitchen to be busy for a while. The food was quickly brought to the table.

Chen Pingan sat at the table with his hands in his sleeves, squinting and smiling.

On the table is a bowl of warm millet porridge, two plates of pickles, and a cage of crab noodle soup dumplings?

Chen Pingan picked up his chopsticks, ate porridge and vegetables, then picked up a crab meat soup dumpling. He nodded with a smile and said: "The craftsmanship is good, it warms the stomach and nourishes people. From now on..."

I wanted to say that when Pei Qian gets married in the future, whoever gets married will be lucky, but when he thinks of this kind of thing, Chen Ping'an's awkward mentality of being both a teacher and a father starts to trouble him again, and he stops talking.

After finally raising his own daughter, why should he be thrown away by his married daughter? How in the world can there be such a stupid reason?

But if Pei Qian really meets the person of his dreams in the future, just marry him. It's just that boy, don't expect to see a good face on your side. If you don't get put in a sack, just burn high incense.

Pei Qian noticed that his master's expression was changing, which was an extremely rare occurrence. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you worried?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It's okay."

But after holding it in for a long time, Chen Ping'an was still cautious, deliberately using an understatement, and asked seemingly casually: "In those years, when the master was not around, you traveled alone and walked such a long distance, did you have any questions?" Meet more outstanding peers, or young talents from the mountains?"

Pei Qian thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I've seen some of them, and they are quite capable."

Chen Ping'an smiled all over his face, "Is there anyone who impressed you the most? What's his name?"

The master later traveled to the Middle-earth Divine Continent and had to meet him for a while.

Pei Qian looked strange, and finally began to realize that something was wrong, "Master, what's going on?"

Chen Pingan said seriously: "Just chatting."

Pei Qian complained: "Master, don't think blindly. I don't have the love and affection between children as written in the books. I just practice martial arts and boxing, that's enough."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I met two pairs of masters and disciples on a strange mountain top."

Pei Qian was confused.

Chen Pingan joked: "There was a little Heitan among them. He was in a daze. He was still in a daze when he saw the master. He dropped the chestnut, held his head and screamed."

Pei Qian grinned.

In Tongyezhou, Chen Pingan, a ten-level martial artist who became the "strongest" in the world today, found that the martial arts gifts were less than expected. However, Chen Pingan soon knew the answer. It turned out that the martial arts luck was invisibly lost. For two, it was like being forcibly dragged to a strange world, where eleven people stood on the top of a weird mountain.

In a big world, martial arts are as thick as water. Eleven pure warriors are surrounded by a circle. Therefore, there is no distinction in ranking. They are all the strongest warriors in a certain realm "unprecedented in thousands of years".

Among them were two pairs of masters and apprentices.

Daduan Dynasty in Central China, Pei Bei, Cao Ci.

Aquarius Island Luolu Mountain, Chen Ping'an, Pei Qian.

And this guy Cao Ci actually occupied four positions on the top of the mountain.

Chen Ping'an used to worry that practicing boxing was too hard, and whether Pei Qian, who was most afraid of pain when she was a child, would give up halfway.

Now I am worried that Pei Qian's hard work in practicing boxing will not be worth it, because practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current or retreating if you don't advance. With a breath of pure Qi, like an iron cavalry, patrolling mountains and rivers, unlike a monk who only needs to refine After finding the natal objects, he opened up mansions everywhere, just like building a city, dividing his troops to occupy the dangerous passes, knowing his own mountains and rivers well, and then step by step, absorbing the spiritual energy of the world, or digging mountains or filling lakes, and constantly adding wealth to the inside.

After Chen Pingan finished his breakfast, he put down his chopsticks and asked coldly: "Pei Qian, Master asked you, why did you reach the top of martial arts?"

He pushed the bamboo drawer on the table towards Pei Qian and said with a smile, "There's no need to answer in a hurry. We'll talk about it after eating."

Pei Qian picked up the last crab noodle soup dumpling and said vaguely: "There is no one in front of me except Master."

"not enough."

Chen Pingan shook his head and smiled: "Answer again."

Pei Qian looked surprised, "Huh?"

She quickly swallowed the soup dumpling and wiped her mouth. Isn't this enough?

Seeing that the master was still waiting for the answer, Pei Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and whisper: "Only one level lower than the master?"

Chen Pingan glared.

Pei Qian scratched his face and said, "Then you dare to be in the same situation as Master?"

Chen Pingan laughed angrily, put his fingers together, and tapped the table like a chestnut, "Be serious!"

Pei Qian only felt that he was worried to death, and the master still wanted to take him seriously.

Chen Ping'an thought about changing his explanation. He suddenly looked solemn and asked in his heart: "Pei Qian, you have won the word 'strongest' several times, but you haven't met any strange people or strange things?"

The key is that Pei Qian is also on the top of the mountain, and she has a place.

Pei Qian began to check his memory, and then remembered something, nodded and said: "Master, I guess I have a dream. When I was a child, I seemed to have a dream, and then I saw a strange man who couldn't remember who he was. He took me with him... It wasn't mountaineering. But when I was going down the mountain, the other person asked me what I was doing to learn boxing. I was young and ignorant at the time, so I honestly answered what was in my mind at the time."

Apparently the groundwork has begun.

At that time, I was young and ignorant, and liked to talk nonsense. Master, please don’t take it seriously. You can’t settle the accounts later.

Chen Ping waited quietly for the rest.

Pei Qian felt increasingly guilty, but he didn't dare to hide anything. He explained the process to his master in detail.

It turned out that at that time, Pei Qian felt that he was just dreaming, so he was afraid of a hammer, so he absentmindedly talked about learning the hammer boxing. As the master's first disciple, he just had to learn something from the master, otherwise the boxing practice would be so miserable. Why bother? On the way down the mountain, Xiao Heitan was hopping around and hooting like the big white goose. He also punched the very tall guy next to him and asked him if he was afraid or not.

When Chen Pingan heard this, he couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.

It's not surprising, it's what Xiao Heitan would say and do.

Then Pei Qian's next sentence made Chen Pingan laugh angrily and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"You're not afraid, right? Then you wait. When my master comes, you have to kneel down and kowtow. Believe it or not, do you believe it or not?"

Chen Pingan kept smiling and raised his palms, "Come here. Master has accepted such a great disciple like you. What a blessing."

Come on, if you haven’t had enough food, you’ve got enough chestnuts.

Pei Qian smiled awkwardly, said "Master, I'm going to clear up the dishes," and ran away.

In rainy and snowy weather, Chen Ping'an took a walk alone under an umbrella, along a winding mountain road to Cui Dongshan's simple thatched house to discuss the candidates for the ceremony.

It's a pity that there are no cliff carvings yet. In fact, if Xia Zong is really shameless and willing to let Zhu Lian catch the knife, it can be fake and real. It is estimated that in a few days, countless famous cliff carvings will appear. Of course Cui Dongshan can do it himself.

Wearing a green shirt, he gently rotated the umbrella handle in the drizzle.

Now that a specific date has been set, and the lower sect's founding celebration will be the beginning of spring next year, the upper sect's Luolu Mountain and a new sword room in Xiandu Mountain have begun to get busy. Feijian sent a message to invite guests from all over the world to watch the ceremony. .

It's just that compared to the celebration of the founding of the sect in Luopo Mountain, there were fewer people watching. Even not everyone from Luopo Mountain came.

For example, Chen Ping'an only invited Liu Jinglong, Zhong Kui, and Huang Ting, who was equivalent to one person and two sects.

In today's colorful world, a Jindan monk can start a sect, and the Chinese Confucian Temple won't care about it anyway.

In addition, there are Lu Yong from Qinghu Palace, Ye Yunyun from Pushan Thatched Cottage, Liu Rou, the empress of river water from Biyou Palace of Daquan Dynasty, and a pair of Taoist couple from the mountain and water deities, Zheng Su, the mountain deity from Jinhuang Mansion, and Liu Yourong, the water lord from Songzhen Lake.

Whether it was the number of people present or the scale of the celebration, it might not be as good as a golden elixir opening ceremony.

When he arrived at the door of the thatched cottage, Chen Ping'an closed his oil-paper umbrella, leaned against the wall outside the door, and stepped inside. He saw a large bookcase filled with hand-drawn drafts and drawings written by Cui Dongshan.

Cui Dongshan put down his pen and took a step back. He bowed to his husband across the desk and bowed. Chen Pingan waved his hand, indicating that he should continue working on his work. He sat on the bench and picked up a manuscript made of earthwork on the table that still smelled of ink.

The four treasures of the study on the table were all extremely shabby. I chopped green bamboo from my own mountain to use as a pen holder, and placed a bundle of Daquan Dynasty chicken spat pens casually. The rest of the cooked rice paper and pine smoke ink were purchased from the market.

Chen Pingan put down the drawing, raised his head and asked: "Although I lent Lin Shou a hundred Grain Rain coins, there is still a lot of surplus of fairy coins in Luopo Mountain's treasury. Five or six hundred Grain Rain coins, why are we taking them?" It’s possible, so you really don’t need it?”

Since all the output of Changchun-Dongtian cannot be turned into fairy money for the time being, we have to think about it separately.

On the other side of the Luo Mountain, the Skeleton Beach of Luzhou in Beiju, the trade route of Pima Zong and Chunlu Pu, almost included the treasures of heaven and earth along the southeast coast of Yizhou. Later, Yunshang City and the Dayuan Dynasty were added, and the floating Pingjian Lake has made Luo Luo Shan rich in resources over the years.

Cui Dongshan shook his head and said with a smile: "Sir, you really don't have to spend any money."

Chen Ping'an nodded and mentioned the list of guests he had invited to watch the ceremony. Cui Dongshan was a little helpless, "No matter how much you care about the lower sect's affairs, you are still my husband, and even more so the master of the upper sect. What's the point of discussing this trivial matter?"

Chen Ping'an found Fang's private seal on the table. He picked it up and saw that there were many words on the margin.

In the severe cold season, the ponds dry up, the lotus leaves are all gone, the dead branches are lying sideways, and there is no longer a rain cover, so the swimming fish disappear...

Chen Pingan gently put the seal back in its place, knowing that Cui Dongshan was talking about the incident in Lizhu Cave.

The eight-character Zhu inscription at the bottom, the insect and bird seal script is like a book from heaven: the laws of nature and the earthly meaning, explain the text and explain the characters.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "When I was a guest at Caizhi Mountain at the top of Chujun Mountain in Nanyue, I and the pure young man from Zhuhai Dongtian had nothing to do. We had some complaints and expressed our feelings. I learned from the teacher. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so we started to carve seals. It's down. If you like it, sir, take it. It can be used as a book seal."

Chen Pingan shook his head and declined the matter, and asked: "Do you need help with relocating the remaining two mountains?"

Cui Dongshan said: "No need, it is much lighter than this Xiandu Mountain and the two auxiliary mountains. If you go back and forth twice, walk faster, it will take a month and a half to survive."

Chen Pingan briefly talked about the process of the trip to Pushan.

Cui Dongshan said: "Actually, to be careful, Huang Yiyun should hand over this fairy painting to the Chinese Confucian Temple, otherwise it may be a big hidden danger if it stays in Pushan. For example... forget it, there is no such thing as a similar one. of."

Cui Dongshan is afraid that he has a bad mouth. If he really wants to hit the mark, for Pushan, it will be a shocking event that is not inferior to the catastrophe of Taiping Mountain. For example, an immortal picture, because it is a layer-by-layer formation. Once the mastermind behind the scenes uses cunning means to remotely open the restriction, manipulate the formation hub, and explode in an instant, the power is at least equivalent to the self-destruction golden elixir, Nascent Soul, and Skin Soul of an Immortal Realm monk. It's so big and so lethal, it's roughly equivalent to a full-strength sword strike from an Ascension Realm sword cultivator. It's estimated that half of Pushan is left, and it's considered lucky.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Ye Yunyun knew the importance of it and was very easy to discuss, so the authentic painting of the fairy painting had actually been secretly kept in Xiaomo's sleeve. It was regarded as helping Pushan keep it for a few days. As for Pushan's secret treasury There is just a fake inside, Ye Yunyun didn’t even tell Xue Huai, and then we’ll see if we can catch an extra big fish.”

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "Xue Huai may be just the first layer of cover-up. On the Pushan side, if one is not careful, there will be hidden tricks."

With his careful acting style, since Pushan's long-term plan has come to nothing, he will never show mercy.

Chen Pingan said: "For example, Ye Yunyun's brother, after the war ended, he has been running around outside the mountains these years and has never been in Yuncaotang."

Just like this time when Chen Pingan visited Pushan Yuncaotang, he was unable to see each other.

Not being afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice and being willing to extend the greatest kindness to others may seem contradictory, but in fact they are not in conflict.

Later, when he heard about a trip to Chilin River, Cui Dongshan's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "It turned out to be an engagement shop?"

Obviously, Cui Dongshan had heard of the engagement shop, but probably had never seen it with his own eyes. He rubbed his hands and said, "Sir, the old woman and the girl who opened the tea shed by the Chilin River, are you willing to be the worshipers of our Xiandu Mountain? Not only do we offer worship, we also treat them as guests, by name or not. You can follow them."

Chen Ping'an laughed angrily and said, "Now you start calling me sir and saying 'we'?"

The old man Liang Shuang is now the Great Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. There is no problem for him to remove the talisman.

After the old woman regained her freedom, Chen Ping'an didn't ask where the master and the disciple would go from now on with the girl who liked to mess with things.

Chen Pingan said: "If you really want to try to recruit them, you can send a message to Pushan with Feijian and ask Ye Yunyun or Xue Huai to ask for help."

Cui Dongshan chuckled and said, "I'll just wait for what you say, sir!"

Chen Pingan laughed.

Cui Dongshan laughed endlessly.

The nine sword fairy embryos brought back by Chen Ping'an from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting have followed Yu Yue to other places, leaving seven children. Among them, Cheng Chaolu has now followed Sui Youyou to practice swordsmanship at the flower sweeping platform. , Yu Xiehui pinched his nose and recognized Cui Wei, the master, as his master. He Gu's master was Mi Dajianxian, who was about to be the chief worshiper of the next sect. If you add the Nalan jade ultimatum on the Feng Yuan ferry, he was abducted by the next sect. Four came.

If you add King Sun Chun, there will be five.

Only Bai Xuan and Yao Xiaoyan were left in Luolu Mountain and the Sword Worship Platform.

Bai Xuan is afraid of the big white goose, but this is only a small part of the reason.

Yao Xiaoyan fell in love with the new master who was about the same height as both of them.

It's just that since Qingping Sword Sect is a swordsmanship sect, Chen Ping'an will admit that his student Cui Dongshan is poaching him like this.

But in the end, Cui Dongshan, the leader of the lower sect, did everything he could. He even had to poach himself to come to the lower sect. After all, once he chooses to retreat in Changchun-Dongtian, no matter whether he comes from Yupu in the future The bottleneck reaching the level of immortal or higher is not something that can be solved in a few months. It can easily take several years or even longer.

Chen Pingan said: "I am hesitating whether to invite Li Furui from the Zhenjing Sect."

After all, this Nascent Soul female cultivator is still a guest of Luopo Mountain.

As for Zhenjing Sect's leader Liu Laocheng and chief worshiper Liu Zhimao, forget it.

In addition to the three-color jade bracelet of Fu, Lu and Shou that he fell in love with at first sight, Chen Ping'an shamelessly asked Xiao Mo for a robe and planned to send both items to Zhou Caizhen of the Aquarius Continent Zhenjing Sect.

Cui Dongshan shook his head and said: "It doesn't mean much, just save a robe for the next sect."

Chen Pingan asked: "What do you mean?"

Cui Dongshan held back his laughter and said, "Sir, Xiaomo has agreed with me that before the next sect holds a celebration, he will give me some robes so that members of the ancestral hall and direct disciples of the lower sect can worship the guests. Anyway, there are only a few of them. , then everyone will have one, and everyone who sees it will have a share. As for the guests who come to Qingping Peak to watch the ceremony, it is a bit uncertain. It is not good for the next sect to favor one thing over another, it will hurt the feelings, so I simply don’t give it to anyone. "

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "This Xiaomo!"

He only said that he would accompany him to Piyun Mountain for the first time. Xiaomo immediately gave away two precious treasures of semi-immortal weapon rank, and the gifts were extremely heart-warming, because the pair looked at the cute little weapons in their pockets. It is useful, especially if it falls in the hands of a Wuyue Mountain Lord, it can be used to its best advantage. A sapphire ax can be used to "open mountains", and a yellow jade ax can be used to "suppress water transportation".

Now Wei Shanjun can probably laugh out loud in his dreams.

Wei Bo couldn't wait for Xiaomo to visit Beiyue again with his fingers crossed every day?

Cui Dongshan shouted, "Mr."

Chen Ping'an was a little puzzled, "Huh?"

Cui Dongshan smiled brightly, "Sir, although he does not carry the sword now..."

Chen Pingan said categorically: "Stop it!"

Cui Dongshan still spoke: "The anger swallows mountains and rivers, and the sword energy sweeps across the autumn."

Chen Ping'an stood up and muttered: "You are the cause of this unhealthy trend in Luopo Mountain."

Cui Dongshan looked aggrieved, "Sir, after much thought, I have finally determined who is the biggest contributor to our Luoluoshan culture."

Chen Pingan was a little curious, "Who is it?"

Cui Dongshan lowered his voice and said: "It's a little treasure bottle!"

Chen Ping'an was stunned, sat back, rubbed his chin, and then quickly smiled and cursed at Cui Dongshan, "Don't complain about Xiaobaoping's cunning behavior here, you don't want to be patted on."

Cui Dongshan rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly.

If we talk about junior sister Guo Zhujiu, she may be Pei Qian's only fault, and Pei Qian is the fault of many people.

So of course Cui Dongshan is the little girl in the red cotton jacket back then.

But not many people know about this matter.

Cui Dongshan said: "Sir, if you have something to do, please do it first."

Chen Ping'an just turned around, continued to sit, looked at the drizzle outside the door, and laughed softly: "Not busy."

Xiandu Mountain, a side branch of the mountain, the top of the Immortal Peak, and the flower-sweeping platform.

Sui Youyou taught swordsmanship and boxing skills to her disciple Cheng Chaolu, so she went to enjoy the scenery at the Luobao Beach of the Qingyi River at the foot of the mountain.

Yu Xianhui came here to relax during his sword practice. The rain stopped halfway, so he held a closed oil-paper umbrella and played with it as a sword.

The masters of the two sword immortal embryos are both Yuanying realm sword cultivators, but now one is an official and the other is not.

Yu Xianhui placed the oil-paper umbrella on the railing of the cliff, pointed his toes on the ground, sat down on the railing, and watched the little cook practice boxing and walking, and he looked quite impressive.

When Cheng Chaolu finished practicing his boxing and came to Yu Xiehui's side, the little cook hesitated for a long time and still didn't feel embarrassed to speak.

Yu crossed his arms across his chest, shook his legs, and said, "If you fart, let it go."

Cheng Chaolu whispered: "Have a rest, although I don't like Cui Wei very much, but..."

Before Cheng Chaolu could finish speaking, Yu Xiehui became a little unhappy. He took over the conversation and said angrily, "Cui Wei is the head of the lower sect after all. This guy is petty, so be careful what you say."

If you don’t like Cui Wei, why should you? You're a little cook, but you're still a low-level sword cultivator?

Take a break, this is the nickname Bai Xuan gave to Yu Xiehui, Cheng Chaolu's little cook, Nalan Yushu's little abacus, but it is better than the "dead fish eyes" of King Sun Chun, and better than the previous one. Not enough to compare with the inferior, so Yu Xie replied and they all acquiesced.

Of course, there is also Bai Xuan's self-proclaimed little hidden official, but no one admits it. It seems that the last time I met that "little hidden official" Chen Li, Bai Xuan was deflated.

Cheng Chaolu rubbed her fat cheeks out of habit and let out a sigh.

Among the nine children who traveled to a foreign country, the little fat boy was the one with the best temper.

However, last time at Yunku Paradise, Cheng Chaolu challenged someone for boxing for the first time in his life, and he won with a clean victory, as if the other party was a Dragon Gate monk. Although the big white goose had secretly moved its hands and feet, it had already impressed the children. They don't say it with their mouths, but they all know it in their hearts. Even Cui Dongshan had a minor accident at that time. Unexpectedly, he was still a bad-tempered person who was unequivocal in his actions.

After all, he was born in a place like the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Being able to fight is more important than his surname.

The high-ranking disciples of Taixiang Street and Yuhu Street are fine if they are not swordsmen. If they are swordsmen, they are weak with swords on the battlefield and cannot earn any real military achievements. This is the most looked down upon.

Cheng Chaolu said cautiously: "Have a rest, no matter what, I can see that Lord Yin Guan doesn't look down on your master at all, no, he looks down on you very much! As for why, I don't understand. Anyway, that’s what happened.”

Yu Xie went back to school, Lord Yin Guan put his hands in his sleeves and nodded with a straight face. The little cook finally said something decent.

If you look down on him, can that Cui Wei settle down in Luopo Mountain as a worshiper? The ranking is not low. Now he is the leader of the next sect.

If you don't think highly of them, how can you drink at the same table with Mr. Yinguan and Big White Goose? He could see clearly and remember clearly that Cui Wei ranked second in the number of times Mr. Yin Guan took the initiative to toast with others.

Cheng Chaolu said: "I wonder where Yu Qingzhang and He Bookcase are now."

Yu Xiehui said angrily: "These two heartless things, I don't care where they are."

Cheng Chaolu whispered: "Does it mean that everyone has his own ambitions?"

Yu turned around and sneered, noncommittal.

Yu glanced sideways into the distance. The Sui Zuoyi, who didn't smile at all, had already walked far away. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Little cook, tell me the truth, okay?"

"What?"

"Your master, and our Lord Yin Guan, huh?!"

Cheng Chaolu was confused, "What do you mean?"

Yu Xiehui reached out and took out his sleeves, patted the little fat man on the shoulder, imitating Yin Guan's movements, and then imitating Yin Guan's tone of voice, "Chao Lu, you are just a fool with a stupid blessing."

I heard that there is an unwritten rule on the table of the wine shop in Jianqi Great Wall. Calling people by their names without "ah" will make them appear unfriendly, and they are just outsiders, not trustworthy.

Cheng Chaolu chuckled. Foolish people are blessed. I love hearing this.

Yu Xianhui suddenly jumped off the railing.

Cheng Chaolu turned around and saw that Lord Yin Guan was here.

Yu Xie reminded him, "Don't say what you shouldn't say!"

Cheng Chaolu nodded vigorously, "I know!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "What shouldn't be said?"

Yu Xianhui lamented, "The little cook secretly likes the Nalan Jade Certificate."

Cheng Chaolu was stunned for a moment.

Chen Ping'an exclaimed, pretending to be surprised and said, "I thought Cheng Chaolu liked Yao Xiaoyan."

Picking up the oil-paper umbrellas in his hands and slapping his palms, Chen Pingan nodded to himself and said: "Yes, yes, no wonder he spends money to buy books from Nalan Yudou. It turns out that he is deliberately trying to get close to you. Cheng Chaolu, you can do it, little one." If you have this kind of understanding at your age, you won’t have to worry about finding a wife in the future.”

Cheng Chaolu blushed, that was not the case at all.

Nalan Yudou, the little money-lover, did have a good habit. She would copy down every word of the good words that Lord Yin Guan said. Cheng Chaolu was worried that he would miss boxing principles, so he had to borrow the "files" from her often. , it costs money to read every page. In fact, there are only a few words on a page, often just one sentence. Nalan Yuuliao even created an account book for Cheng Chaolu, the kind that calculates interest.

Yu leaned back to the side and laughed.

After Yu Xie smiled back, he whispered: "Master Yin Guan, I can assure you that I will definitely reach the cave realm soon, and I won't be much slower than King Sun Chun and Bai Xuan."

Cheng Chaolu saw that he had issued a military order after taking a break, so he could only follow up and said: "Master Yinguan, I will try not to be at the bottom."

To be honest, among the nine peers, there is always one at the bottom, and I am not bad either.

What's more, Master Yin Guan has already said that stupid people have stupid ways to practice.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "The most difficult knowledge in the world is hard work, and the easiest knowledge in the world is results."

Yu Xianhui nodded.

Then Chen Ping'an blinked and turned around to tease the little fat man, "Remember to tell Nalan Yuzhao this sentence later. This will give you a chance to chat with her. Don't thank me."

Yu Xianhui started laughing again.

Cheng Chaolu sighed, if Nalan Yu's ultimatum was found out, she would be beaten to death.

Chen Pingan took out four books from his sleeves, two for each person. Two of them, "Swordsmanship Sermon" and one "Shashan Fist Manual", are of course hand-copied copies. The boxing manual was given to Cheng Chaolu. There is also a booklet, which was given to Xiehui, and Chen Ping'an did not have it either. He spoke in his heart and said with a smile: "Yu Xiehui, remember to keep this booklet well and don't show it to outsiders easily. The content in the book may not be useful, so just treat it as a miscellaneous book."

Yu Xiehui's natal flying sword happened to be named "Po Zi Ling".

Because of the night sailing, Chen Ping'an read some books at the Confucian Temple and gained some insights, so he selected the contents and recorded them in a book.

The two children took the books with both hands solemnly and thanked Master Yinguan.

Chen Pingan reached out and touched the heads of the two children.

After Yu Xiehui put the two volumes of books into his arms, he suddenly whispered: "Master Yin Guan, I heard that you have met countless confidantes in the world."

Chen Ping'an's heart tightened, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile: "Who said that?"

Yu Xie replied: "Bai Xuan, who else could it be? He has a nose and eyes. Cheng Chaolu can testify."

The little fat man started to act stupid.

Probably everyone except that King Sun Chun was a little afraid of Bai Xuan.

Previously, at the sword worship platform at the top of Luolu Mountain, Uncle Bai Xuan really didn't care about practicing swordsmanship at all. However, he practiced boxing harder than Cheng Chaolu. He often chanted a mantra, "I, Uncle Bai Xuan, still need to practice swordsmanship." Are you practicing swordsmanship? Did you follow Mr. Yin Guan here to become an immortal? Of course not, I came here to learn boxing, so that I can avoid being around in the world later and say that I, a swordsman and an immortal, bully them to dance with guns, use sticks and beat them to improve their health. of."

However, Bai Xuan is extremely lazy in practice, but he is extremely fast in sword making, so he likes to go from house to house with his hands behind his back every day, "so as to be a teacher" and give guidance to others on their practice. The problem is that Bai Xuan's few words often hit the mark. , really useful.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Okay, I will have a good chat with Bai Xuan later."

Finally, the three sword cultivators, one young and one young, stood beside the railing and looked at the scenery in the distance.

After the rain, the weather is clear and the weather is new.

The earth and rivers seemed to be ownerless things. After the rain, the mountains and rivers look like they are made of gold and iron.

On the Feng Yuan Ferry, in addition to the high-spirited second steward Jia Sheng, the accountant Zhang Jiazhen, who only works hard at settling accounts every day, and the idle manager Chang Ming, it is her direct disciple, the little abacus Nalan Yushu, who is really capable in the accountant's office. Helped Zhang Jiazhen, kept accounts and settled accounts in an orderly manner.

Of course, the most boring one must be the Mi Da Sword Immortal who is nominally escorting Feng Yuan Ferry.

After going back and forth, Mi Yu became quite familiar with the little girl Chai Wu. She seemed to be in love with the ferry life where the clouds came and went in the mist. She did not settle down in Xiandu Mountain. Instead, she stayed on the ferry and practiced. , just lie on the window sill and look at the scenery, or walk a few times around the bow and stern of the ship.

It is very common style for a little girl to drink alone.

Just like her practice, no one taught her, she was born with it.

With a slurp, he nodded and picked up a salted peanut, a plate of cucumbers and a plate of sauced meat.

Master is right, it is good to be a god and eat meat without spending money.

Therefore, you must practice well, never be kicked off the boat by the mountain master, and strive to become a direct disciple.

Chai Wu was a little worried. The mountain master, who was said by his master to be as drunk as him, seemed to think that he was stupid and not suitable for practice. It is estimated that the mountain master did have a lot of things on his hands, and he was not happy anyway. I personally taught him knowledge, but later I asked Mr. Xiao Mo to take charge.

Chen Ping'an asked Mi Yu to help the little girl protect her recently. After all, among Qi practitioners, sword cultivators and Fulu cultivators have notoriously high thresholds. The most important thing is whether God will reward them with food or not.

The ferry went all the way south and took a trip to the southernmost Quishan Ferry.

On the top of a hill in Qishandu, there was a guest from the Liu family of Aaizhou stationed there. In name, he was helping to pick up some cross-continental ferries, but in fact there was nothing to do.

This Xu Xie, known as "Xu Jun", is only two hundred years old and is already a great swordsman.

In his hometown of Jinjiazhou, Xu Xie once used his sword to block Wanyan Laojing's betrayal attack. Before that, Xu Xie's reputation was unknown until the advent of troubled times, when he suddenly emerged.

Wang Ji, who played chess with Xu Xie on the top of the mountain for "a small gambling pleasure", was enshrined in the Yugui Sect's ancestral hall, and was nicknamed the Supervisor.

Wang Ji and Zhong Qiu were both scholars. They hit it off and even took the time to play a few games of chess. As for Mi Yu and Xu Xie, who were watching the game, they had nothing to talk about. They just looked at each other and said nothing more.

On the Feng Yuan Ferry side of Bicheng Ferry of Yu Gui Sect, I learned that Shenzhuan Peak, which had been vacant for many years, had just got a new owner, and the Yu Gui Sect's Patriarch Hall had no objections, and it was dedicated to this sword cultivator. As an exception, he could enter Shenzhuan Peak ahead of schedule without reaching the Golden Core level.

Because that child is only nine years old now and is a Longmen realm sword cultivator.

It is said that he has three natal flying swords.

It seems that there is no reason to explain other than "the proud man of heaven came into being".

The Yugui Sect now has private ferries that can accommodate several cross-continent ferries at the same time. Not including the Zhenjing Sect of the Lower Sect of Aquarius Continent, there are as many as three. In addition to Bicheng Ferry, there are also Nilvdu and Yuanyuan Ferry. Shandu, the latter two are both built on the top of the feudal mountain.

Afterwards, the ferry returned north, staying suspended near the Liao River.

Zhongqiu and Miyu went to the stall by the river together.

Tao Ran was quite polite to Mr. Zhong. He had met him a few times and had a good impression of him.

The Jindan sword cultivator said that a group of people had come earlier, claiming to be from Xiandu Mountain. One of the swordsmen in green shirts also said that he was Mr. Cui Xianshi, named Chen Ping'an.

This person drank a bowl of wine here and didn't cause any trouble. He just said that he was the Chen Jianxian from Aquarius Continent.

Since the words are so funny, why not make a lot of money by telling stories under the overpass.

Mi Yu's eyes were filled with pity, and he reached out his hand, wanting to pat the Golden Elixir Sword Immortal's shoulder to express comfort.

If Pei Qian heard Tao Ran's words, haha.

Tao Ran tilted his shoulders and avoided the claw. He was not familiar with this guy who called himself Yu Mi at all. Both times they met, he was dressed in white. Do you think you are Qi Tingji from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, or are you sitting at the same table with the old swordsman Qi? Have you been drinking?

Besides, when Tao Ran saw the appearance and demeanor of this guy, he was a romantic child on the same level as Jiang Shangzhen, which was very annoying.

Mi Yu put away his hand, picked up a bowl of wine on the table, and took a sip. He drank so much that Mi Dajianxian frowned. Was it mixed with water?

Today's Tao Ran really doesn't know one thing. In the old days of the Great Sword Qi Wall, almost every time it was Qi Tingji's turn to inspect the city, he would take the initiative to go to the clouds to have a drink with Mi Yu.

Although there is a big difference in age and swordsmanship between the two sides, they are both handsome men recognized by the Great Wall of Jianqi. Moreover, one is "on the road together" and the other is "on the road", making them very talkative.

Zhong Qiu smiled and didn't explain anything. He just gave Tao Ran some instructions.

Tao Ran was not impatient and wrote them down one by one.

After Feng Yuan Ferry docked at his home in Xiandu Mountain, Mi Yu failed to see Mr. Yin Guan. Cao Qinglang said that his husband was practicing, but Mi Yu got a message that Mr. Yin Guan asked him to return to Aquarius Continent Niujiao Ferry this time. , we must bring Bai Xuan.

Miyu was a little gloating.

Later, when passing by the Qinghu Palace in Qingjing Mountain, the old god Lu Yong personally handed a porcelain vase to Zhong Qiu and asked Master Zhong to help deliver it to Master Chen.

It is said that it is the latest batch of Zuowangdan that has been successfully refined. Unfortunately, there are not many of them, only three.

Zhong Qiu clasped his fists in thanks.

Mi Yu only has one sentence: Does Mr. Lu have any enemies?

Lu Yong laughed endlessly and waved his hands repeatedly.

After the ferry left the land of Tongyezhou and entered the sea, Mi Yu had nothing to do. Feeling bored, he jumped off the Feng Yuan ferry and swam north with his sword, watching a white rainbow sweep across the sky.

Qingping Peak, inside Changchun Xiaodongtian.

Chen Ping'an chose the highest point of an attic in the Daoshan Jiangque, with all the doors and windows closed.

In the room there is a futon, a table, and an incense burner.

There are several books on the table, including "Shaking Mountain Boxing Manual", "Authentic Book of Alchemy", "Swordsmanship Sermon", "Thunder Game" written by myself and compiled into a volume, and a book from Luzhou, Beiju. The "broken book" from the ruins of Zuoxianfu...

There are also a large number of bamboo slips with characters engraved on them.

Chen Pingan sat on the futon, with his palms facing up and stacked on his abdomen, closing his eyes and concentrating, breathing slowly.

Like an old monk entering concentration, like a true king sitting in oblivion, like a god or a man sitting with a corpse.

To the north of the central part of Tongyezhou is a small country belonging to a vassal state.

Near dusk, a young man in scholar's shirt and a fat man were walking together at a commercial ferry. There was lightning and thunder, and a heavy rainstorm. The shabby scholar asked for two bowls of lotus root powder with rock sugar.

The fat man raised his head, raised the bowl high, shook it vigorously, and found that there was really no lotus root starch left. Then he put the bowl down and complained: "Brother Zhong, since we are on the road, wouldn't it be better to take a fairy ferry?" .”

"The celebration will be held on the first day of spring next year, so there's no time to miss it."

Zhong Kui said: "If you are willing to pay the bill today, I will pay for you to take the ferry."

The fat man said without hesitation: "The scenery on the boat is the same and not very interesting. I still travel on two legs and encounter more mountains and rivers. Just like now, there will be new things, not big or small."

The fat man pointed to the waterside outside the shop. It turned out that a salt merchant hired a large boat and moored it under the ancient temple to watch the tides in the rain. The rainstorm came suddenly and went quickly. After the rain stopped, there was a woman by the water window of the building. She was fishing with a pole and a bracelet around her arm, which highlighted the whiteness of her sleeves. Lotus root, Fatty is someone who has been here for a long time. He has long understood that being thin is worse than being fat. After looking at the woman for a few times, he lost his soul and couldn't move his eyes away. Every time she took back her pole and threw it again, Fatty's heart trembled a little.

It's a pity that the woman's bun style means she is married. If it were a girl waiting to be married, the fat man would board the ship and meet his father-in-law.

As for the other party, it doesn't matter if the other party is a skeletal beauty who can disguise himself. Fatty really doesn't care. Is it vulgar to care about this?

Zhong Kui just looked at Lou Chuan out of the corner of his eye and said, "Don't mess with her. She's just an infatuated woman with a miserable life. She will leave after repaying her kindness."

The fat man muttered in a low voice: "With you here, who do I dare to provoke? As soon as I entered the small county town god's temple, my good fellow, you have an official status, but I am a lonely ghost. I was almost handcuffed on the spot. Put on the shackles, what do you think I said? Brother Zhong, to be honest, I have never suffered such shame and humiliation before my death... Another bowl of rock sugar lotus root starch."

Zhong Kui waved to the shop assistant, ordered two more bowls of lotus root noodles, and said with a smile, "Didn't the City God apologize to you afterwards?"

Don't say that there are no ears and eyes in the sky, but my heart is full of wandering thoughts in the dark room.

The fat man who named himself Gusu had already finished another bowl of lotus root starch and glanced at the bowl where Zhong Kui had not yet touched the spoon.

Zhong Kui pushed the white bowl to the fat man.

The fishing woman on the boat was obviously aware of the scholar and the fat man in the shop on the shore. However, she was not well-educated and could not tell their identities and realms. She could only be sure of one thing. Could it be that they had seen a ghost?

The fat man asked in his heart: "This river is not short, isn't it? Isn't there a water god named He Po? There are no Chenghuang temples on both sides of the river? This female ghost is quite courageous."

Zhong Kui said: "That armband is a keepsake of Shuifu. There is a big lake three hundred miles upstream. Mr. Shuishenfu likes to pretend to be a boatman and sell lotus roots in exchange for wine. He has a good relationship with the middle-aged man who once threw the memorial poem into the water. I'm a salt merchant, so I'm an old acquaintance."

The fat man frowned and said, "How can you tell?"

Zhong Kui said: "Use your eyes."

When Zhong Kui paid for it, the fat man asked: "When we get to that Xiandu Mountain, do you think that with my cultivation, I will be invincible except for Chen Ping'an?"

Even if he falls down, he is still an immortal.

Zhong Kui smiled and said, "We'll know when we get there."

The fat man asked tentatively: "Then Brother Chen and I are asking for a chief minister, guest minister or something like that. It's not Luoposhan, it's just a subordinate sect. It's not too much, right?"

Zhong Kui glanced at the fat man and said, "Ask yourself, I won't stop you."

The fat man smiled and raised the empty bowl in his hand, flipping his wrist, "It must be easy."

After that, the fat man followed Uncle Zhong, who didn't know how to enjoy happiness, and traveled across mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping in the open air all the way. Unfortunately, all the autumn fat he had finally gained was lost.

At the end of the New Year, they arrived at the boundary of Xiandu Mountain. There were mansions on the mountain and the ferry at the foot of the mountain. There were massive construction projects everywhere and dust was flying. The fat man waved his hands and frowned slightly, "It's just such a small area. It's too shabby. Wait until I see Brother Chen." , I have to talk about it."

On the other side of the ferry, I saw a group of people gathered around the table, making gestures on the manuscript paper.

Standing at the table were a young man in white with a mole between his eyebrows, a young woman with a bun, and a young monk in a yellow hat and blue shoes.

The fat man clicked his tongue and marveled, "Hey, little girl, she doesn't look like much at first glance, but at second glance, she looks quite pretty."

Pei Qian saw Zhong Kui coming for a walk. She walked quickly with a bright smile, clasped her fists in the distance and said, "Zhong Accountant!"

The two sides stopped, Zhong Kui stretched out his hand to indicate the height, and asked with a smile: "Little Heitan?"

Pei Qian nodded, squinting and smiling.

Zhong Kui joked: "Are you married?"

Pei Qian smiled and said: "Marry a hammer, not a human being!"

Zhong Kui laughed loudly, "That's right, except Chen Ping'an, who can control you."

I think back on those days when, at a young age, I could fool two policemen from Fox Town.

Xiao Heitan at that time was really... hard to describe.

Cui Dongshan and Xiaomo came here.

Zhong Kui cupped his fists and said, "My name is Zhong Kui. I'm just kidding."

Cui Dongshan bowed and said, "Cui Dongshan, the sect of Luopo Mountain, has met Mr. Zhong."

Xiao Mo bowed in the same way and said, "I worship Xiao Mo. I have met Mr. Zhong."

Xiao Mo glanced sideways at the fat man who was a ghost in the fairy realm, wondering if he had some evil intentions. This guy was only thinking about Pei Qian. How could Mr. Zhong have such an unreliable personal attendant next to him.

The fat man asked in his heart: "Xiao Mo, what are you looking at me for?"

Xiao Mo smiled and replied: "The visitor is a guest, why don't you come?"

The fat man heard the implication and clicked his tongue, "Oh, hey, I was almost scared to death. No, you scared me to death. Fortunately, we are guests, otherwise we have to clear the way... to practice our skills?"

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "I don't dare. Neither Luopo Mountain nor Xiandu Mountain has such a way of hospitality."

The fat man looked horrified, "Brother Xiaomo, are you taking revenge now?"

Xiao Mo's smile remained unchanged, "How dare you call yourself a brother to an immortal?"

Cui Dongshan glanced at Zhong Kui. Zhong Kui smiled and shook his head. Let's ignore this fat man who likes to seek death.

On the other side of Qingping Peak, a man in green clothes appeared, and in an instant, his figure landed on the ferry side.

There is not the slightest ripple of energy, nor the slightest bit of sword energy.

But the man's sword intent, or the strength of his Tao Qi, actually made the fat man subconsciously take a step towards Zhong Kui.

Chen Pingan and Zhong Kui each raised their hands and gave them a high five.

Then Chen Ping'an looked aside and asked with a smile: "Zhong Kui, who is this senior?"

Zhong Kui was still the same bad guy, and he immediately revealed the identity of the fat man next to him, "He is the underwater senior who was chopped off by his sister-in-law."

The fat man suddenly knew something was wrong.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Chen Pingan, and I am Ning Yao's man."
