Sword of Coming

On the border between Daquan and the Northern Jin Dynasty, dozens of cavalry escorted one of the women, Empress Yao Jinzhi of Daquan.

The two cavalry closest to Yao Jinzhi are a monk of the upper five realms, with ordinary looks and the face of a middle-aged woman. They are from the Divine Continent of Central Earth, and they are a temporary guest of Daquan invited by my aunt.

There is also the water god of Pine Needle Lake, Liu Yourong, who was temporarily summoned by Yao Jinzhi. This is also why the Feijian of the Jinhuang Mansion sent the letter, not Liu Yourong personally replied to the secret letter.

Behind them are three riders, and there are two powerful military generals at the frontier who have never put on armor at the moment.

In addition, there is Yiqi, a graceful young man wearing Taoist robes and a golden crown on his head. Daquan first class enshrines Shao Yuanran. The real hooker. Shao Yuanran and his master Baozhen Taoist have known each other for a long time with the Bianguan Yao family. If it weren't for Liu Zong's existence, Shao Yuanran might have become the chief worshiper of the Daquan Yao family.

Dozens of riders bypassed the rebuilt Hu'er Town, anyway, there are only a few yellow mud walls, and the yamen is like a grass nest, as sloppy as it was back then, and it is not difficult to rebuild.

It's just that the inn outside Hu'er Town left only a ruined ruin. Yao Jinzhi stayed here, and the forty-year-old but still beautiful emperor did not take it back for a long time. line of sight.

In the past, there used to be the aunt "Jiu Niang" who was the shopkeeper, the third master who was the cook, the little lame who was the shop assistant, and the bookkeeper who had been a long time accountant, Zhong Kui, the gentleman of the academy.

Yao Jinzhi sighed faintly, everything has changed. Xianzhi seems to have left the border and the battlefield, and suddenly became a young man who likes to take things seriously, but can she trust others with the position of governor of the capital? And the children in Lingzhi now know how to call themselves His Majesty, and no longer call them Auntie in a childish voice. They are grown up and sensible, but they can't be happy. Drooling child.

In the end, the cavalry went to a difficult place, and Yao Jinzhi stopped his horse on the top of a hillside, squinting his eyes, as if time had flowed backwards, and she had witnessed a thrilling fight with her own eyes.

Back then, there was a sinister attack on the Yao family. There were only two assassins, a sword repairman and a martial artist wearing nectar armor. The two relied on a flying sword and a master realm respectively to kill people. Ruma, the method is extremely cruel. In the early years, everyone thought that those two assassins were killers on the mountain hired by the Northern Jin Dynasty with a lot of money, in order to make the Yao family's iron cavalry lose their backbone. Later, it was proved that the two assassins are indeed in high positions in the Northern Jin Dynasty. One of them, even Right now, it is on the Northern Jin official road leading to Jinhuang Mansion.

But in fact, Yao Jinzhi felt that it was unreasonable at that time. From the first emperor to the general of the frontier army in the Northern Jin Kingdom, there was no need to do anything extra. The son's means must have been known.

But Yao Jinzhi didn't dare to think deeply. For example, once the assassin succeeds and successfully assassinates grandfather and the Yao family's Bianqi, then the third prince Liu Mao and Gao Shuyi's gang, who imprisoned a large group of Northern Jin landscape gods including the Prince of Jinhuang Mansion, will become famous.

At that time, the second prince, later Emperor Daquan, and her husband were at the border, taking care of her younger brother of the same father and mother, the third prince Liu Mao.

And this Liu Huang, who has been reduced to the "Emperor of Daquan", has always lacked the support of the military force compared to his elder brother Liu Cong who has outstanding military achievements. "Ban Bi", no one can cross the line, Liu Cong is too arrogant in the eyes of scholars, the second prince Liu Huang is a descendant, and has a brilliant literary talent, and is known throughout the world as a corporal of courtesy and virtuousness.

Liu Huang and Yao Jinzhi's uncle, Li Xiling, have always had an inseparable relationship. Li Xiling was born in the Imperial Academy and served as a lecturer. Therefore, he and the prince Liu Huang can be said to be both teachers and friends. statement. In fact, the old emperor Liu Zhen had made up his mind a long time ago, hoping that his son Liu Huang could inherit the great power and let his eldest son Liu Cong become a vassal of a country. Breaking Liu Zhen's original step-by-step arrangement, the old emperor must let his son Liu Huang quickly grasp a direct line of soldiers and horses to restrain the rebellious frontier cavalry from the north and the south... When the old emperor was dying, he looked at his son Liu Huang. At that time, he actually laughed, but Liu Huang panicked for no reason.

At that moment, Yao Jinzhi seemed to understand everything, but she immediately lowered her head, pretending she didn't know anything.

At this moment Empress Daquan dismounted from her horse, she was extremely proficient, Yao family's children had always been familiar with bowing horses, although Yao Jinzhi was not a martial arts practitioner, but he was able to draw a bow and knew some martial arts skills, compared to ordinary martial arts warriors in the market for a living style, will not be inferior.

The Yao family became the emperor, and in the end, the Yao family's cronies and direct descendants, except for a small number of temples and key positions in the army, seemed to be dwarfs everywhere. Such a thing sounds ridiculous, but it is true and has to be so.

Sometimes, she had to make assumptions, whether Liu Mao, who secretly practiced some kind of fairy art and claimed to be a Taoist of Longzhou, became the emperor. , is still the benefit that the Yao family's children got, but it will be better, with bigger and more official hats. As for after several generations, whether there is anyone with the surname Yao among the surnames of the Duke's Mansion, Yao Jinzhi is a weak woman, what else can she care about, and what can she care about. The Liu family has established the country for two hundred years, and in the end, there is only Shen Guogong's mansion left?

Yao Jinzhi squinted a pair of extremely charming peach blossom eyes. As for the vassal king Liu Cong, forget it, this person pretended to be crazy and foolish in the water prison, and he couldn't last for a few years.

Back then in the imperial palace, Liu Cong, the bastard, was extremely arrogant. If Yao Lingzhi hadn't been by his side all the time, Yao Jinzhi couldn't have imagined how miserable he would be in the end. Then it's not a few filthy palace secret books that are so lucky to be circulated in the market.

After dismounting, Yao Jinzhi held the rein and led the horse. He was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Liuhu, I heard that the Jindan Swordsman who served as the chief enshrined in the Northern Jin Dynasty used to have an old relationship with the Jinhuang Mansion?"

Liu Yourong became the water god of Pine Needle Lake for no reason. She was naturally timid and said tremblingly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my husband didn't know the real identity of this person back then, and mistakenly thought that he was a hero with good swordsmanship, so I sent him off. A few pots of orchid brew."

Before Liu Yourong was alive, she was only from a scholarly family in Beidi County in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and she was not considered a real lady. The most daring thing this Xiaojiabiyu did in her life was to travel far away with the Lord of the Mountain God Zheng Su fell in love at first sight, then became ruthless, gave up Yangshou, and married the Lord of the Jinhuang Mansion.

Yao Jinzhi smiled and said: "There is a world of selflessness, You Rong, don't think too much, if I don't trust you and your wife, I won't let you both return to your hometown."

Liu Yourong didn't know what the emperor's intentions were, let alone those official rules. She only knew that the emperor's "Yourong" was more affectionate than the previous Liuhu Lord, so she was relieved, and this Water God Empress He didn't know how to hide it, so he quickly and carefully worded his words, and said a few polite words to His Majesty, nothing more than thanking, grateful and so on, blunt and awkward.

In fact, in the early years when the situation in Mirage City was the most dangerous, the feeling that His Majesty the Emperor gave her was actually not like this. At that time, Yao Jinzhi would often frown slightly, leaning against the railing alone, a little absent-minded. So in Liu Yourong's eyes, Yao Jinzhi looked better at that time, even if she was also a woman, she would feel a little bit of compassion for the empress who had a miserable life experience.

Yao Jinzhi laughed. Probably only a pure girl like Liu Yourong, with a bit more luck, can truly have a lover and finally get married?

Yao Jinzhi thought about it, then put away his smile, and finally remained expressionless.

There are too many things to worry about.

Just like that Li Xiling, who is now the Minister of Rites of Daquan, Li has one school and two books, and his disciples are all over the court and the public. According to his seniority, he is also the uncle of the new emperor Yao Jinzhi.

It's just that he was too academically angry, and he beat Yaofu Yin, who was both a junior in the family and a junior in the officialdom, and he was very deliberate. What, do you want to invite this name? It's all a Shangshu, how much official do you want to be, how much prestige do you want to win? Is it seeking a posthumous title of Wenzheng that only three people have been conferred since the founding of Daquan?

Shao Yuanran's heart was moved, but she still didn't turn her head to look at His Majesty the Emperor. She was becoming more and more unpredictable.

Yao Jinzhi recalled the letter sent by the flying sword from Pine Needle Lake earlier. Of course Liu Yourong was not qualified to read the secret letter. Yao Jinzhi turned his head to look at this foolish and blessed Mrs. Hu, and asked with a smile: "Your Jinhuang Mansion Here comes a distinguished guest, did Mr. Zheng Fu mention to you that there was a previous benefactor?"

The secret letter said that there was a man in green shirt who came to Jinhuang Mansion as a guest. He should be a pure martial artist. He couldn't see the real depth. woman with five children.

A secret letter to His Majesty the Emperor needs to be as concise as possible. It is impossible to write everything in the letter, but the archives at Pine Needle Lake will definitely be more detailed.

Liu Yourong nodded and said: "Your Majesty, there is such a young man, with a white robe and a sword on his back, and a vermilion wine gourd tied around his waist..."

Yao Jinzhi said with a cold face, "Understood."

Getting back on his horse, Yao Jinzhi said calmly, "Go to Pine Needle Lake."

Liu Yourong was very surprised, it seemed that His Majesty the Emperor had visited Hu'er Town and it was time to return to Mirage City. It's just that she is a little Hujun, so she dares to question her.

Yao Jinzhi looked up at the sky.

Who said that the sun, the moon, the sky and the earth have two round eyes, and a thousand words are not worth a glass of water? And who said that the road of life is narrow and the wine glass is wide?

She hasn't been to Zhaoping Peak, which is close to the capital, for so many years, she can't remember clearly.

Yao Jinzhi moved gently, raised his fingers, and rubbed his temples, not daring to touch the corners of his eyes. She was a little sad, but her eyebrows and eyes were flying.

Yao Jinzhi told himself that he stopped there when he went to the Pine Needle Lake Water Mansion to stay.

She didn't want to go to the Jinhuang Mansion to see anyone. To meet him is also to see himself.

Yao Jinzhi suddenly smiled with Liu Yourong: "When you arrive at Pine Needle Lake, you can write another letter yourself, so as not to worry Mr. Zheng."

Seeing the moving direction of the dense dragon aura, Cui Dongshan sitting on the railing of the ferry crossed his chest with one hand and rested his chin with the other, meditating.

It's just that Cui Dongshan glanced at Mirage City for no reason, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, the reason is very simple, it is the boundary of the well head of the Taoist temple.

Ni Yuanzan is just one of the blessed land characters who left the well, so the nursery rhyme that seems to be a prophecy spread in Qihe City, "Whoever rides the blue cow, the yellow crane will fly again."

Not surprisingly, it was Zou Zi’s handiwork. This guy who is fearless and dares to plot against anyone dares to make fun of the old temple owner of the Taoist Temple. The old bastard who was relatively young back then traveled to the Taoist Temple with his husband. , I didn’t have the courage at that time. When I saw that stinky old man, I had to call him "Senior" and then played a game of chess. Of course I won. So the old Taoist handed over the white jade hairpin.

As for Zou Zi, this person likes whimsical ideas the most, and what he is best at is that the pieces do not take root when they are placed. All the chess pieces wander around and sprout naturally, as if they are blooming everywhere, but the final result is always what he wants.

Compared with his junior sister, Zou Zi is far more advanced.

Cui Dongshan turned his head, looked at the little fat man who was still practicing boxing, and asked: "Invincible Little God Fist, let's make a bet?"

Cheng Chaolu finished the six-step walk and asked, "What are you betting on?"

Cui Dongshan said angrily: "You don't know how to bet with me. What the hell are you betting on?"

The little fat man scratched his head and said, "My stomach feels like roundworms."

Cui Dongshan smiled and scolded: "My boxing skills are good, and he is a good cook. A martial arts practitioner who is not a good cook is not a good swordsman."

The little fat man got a headache from going around, and continued to turn around and walk. It's better to be Master Cao, who never speaks strange things.

Cui Dongshan took a selfie and slapped his knee, "If Mo Daojun goes early, there will be early travelers. If Mo Daojun goes high, there will be a road to the top of the mountain."

The boy in white turned his head and looked further north.

Cui Dongshan suddenly raised his hand, pinched it with two fingers, and caught a messenger flying sword that had returned from Shenzhuan Peak. He had previously asked Jiang Shangzhen whether Mr. Xun had secretly found anyone when he walked into Mirage City when he was doing serious business .

Feijian wrote back and said that he had indeed found someone, but Jiang Shangzhen was kept in the dark. It was probably because Mr.

Cui Dongshan rolled his eyes and put away his flying sword. Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Your husband is now extremely skilled in chess. As his proud disciple, it will be difficult for him to defeat his master.

This is not Cui Dongshan flattering the horse, but the gentleman is confident. He said he would play a game of chess, and then pulled him and placed it on the chessboard. The gentleman was incomparable, twisting the pieces, moving smoothly, and finally placed twelve pieces on the chessboard, four without worries, and Zhongtianyuan. , plus three side lines.

Cui Dongshan conceded on the spot.

As a result, the senior sister who was watching the battle said, "Master has given you twelve sons, and you also admit defeat?"

Nalan Jade was even more amazed, "It turns out that Master Cao is also very good at chess. He is versatile in both civil and military affairs."

The gentleman smiled and nodded when he heard this, and began to clean up the chess game very quickly.

Cui Dongshan glanced at his husband at that time, and then at the senior sister with a slightly squinting look and a golden smile, but did not dare to say anything.

At the Jade Guizong Landscape Ferry, the group left the Yunku Blessed Land and continued south to drive the mountain crossing.

As for Ye Yunyun, who has the reputation of being a Yun in Yellow, she left the blessed place alone and returned to Pushan Yuncaotang.

Ye Yunyun doesn't care whether the Empress Daquan is included in the latest Huashen Mountain Rouge Picture. Anyway, it will be fine without her.

The chief worshiper of the Golden Summit Temple is Lu Ying, sitting in a private room on a ferry with a complex look on his face.

Previously, in the Huangheji Xian family's mansion, a young woman with her hair tied into a bun was sitting on the threshold, while he, Lu Ying, and a young man were sitting opposite each other, facing the window.

The sun shines through the window and falls on one side of the young man's face, one bright and one dark.

In addition to asking a lot of questions, the man even had a normal conversation with Lu Ying, saying that life is not easy for any of us mountaineer cultivators without a backer. Mountaineering roads, winding trails, whatever in the world. People who practice Taoism are not wild cultivators like us, who are working hard to find a way for themselves. So when life gets better, at least leave a way for others to survive. After all, they are all Immortal Masters of Genealogy. It’s time to talk about the trickle of water, so I don’t need you Lu Ying to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, how to betray Jinding Temple, and Du Han. There is absolutely no need to tear one's face apart... Now we two brothers are sitting here, chatting and getting along well. To put it bluntly, it is almost the worst situation for worshiping the real person. Then after walking out of the door, live a long life You just make money in one day, and I didn’t make you swear anything, brother. Cherish your blessings, and cherish your life even if you don’t care about your blessings. Isn’t this the truth...

Anyway, at that time, the reed eagle was just pecking at the rice, and the young boy in the school was just like listening to the master's teachings.

Lu Ying really listened to it.

If he didn't hesitate to die, he would have already worked hard.

Of course, the young man with a kind expression and a light smile has been playing with a dagger in his hand, and the light of the knife is flashing, which is also a more important reason.

Daquan Jingcheng, inside a secret water prison in Mirage City.

A man with disheveled hair was covered in filth, and the prison smelled like a stench.

The former Oizumi supervisory vassal king was reduced to such a miserable situation.

Liu Cong, who was leaning against the wall and curled up, raised his head and looked at a rickety old man outside the prison, accompanied by an old housekeeper in a black gown.

Liu Cong struggled to stand up and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this the old Duke Shen who has many descendants? Why, he just got off the dragon bed of that bitch Yao Jinzhi. He walked softly and made no movement. This is still my memory. Is the old and healthy Gao Shi in the movie really true? Could it be that the little bitch’s bed skills have improved again? It’s a pity that the Duke of Guo wants to kill the thief, but he is really unable to kill the thief? Since you don’t have the luxury to live with it, why don’t you go and talk to Yao Jinzhi? That vixen, let me talk it over for you?"

Gao Shizhen, the old prince with snow-white hair, just bent over, silently, looking at the feudal lord who failed to seek death, "You are indeed not as smart as Liu Mao."

Gao Shizhen twitched the corner of his mouth, "If you really want to seek death, it's not such a low-level method. So in the final analysis, you still don't want to die."

Liu Cong laughed loudly and said, "Gao Shizhen, Gao Shizhen, I can't even figure out what you're trying to figure out when you're alive today?!"

Liu Cong looked away, looked at the old butler who was inseparable from Shen Guogong, and said, "Could it be that the Duke of the State likes this one? That's really a real life together."

Gao Shizhen said: "I came here today to tell you a piece of news."

Liu Cong suddenly collapsed on the ground, shrunk into a ball, trembling all over, howling endlessly.

Gao Shizhen quietly waited for Liu Cong to return to normal. After a while, Liu Cong lay on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Forget it, I don't want to hear it."

Gao Shizhen nodded, turned around, and was about to move his feet when he suddenly stopped and asked, "For a woman, what about it? If you weren't in a hurry back then, everything would be yours."

Liu Cong murmured: "You are not good enough for her."

The vassal king who had been reduced to a prisoner stretched out his hand tremblingly, his five fingers were like hooks, bent slightly, then loosened a little, and said with a sudden smile: "At least this big!"

Gao Shizhen shook his head and left slowly.

The old housekeeper silently followed behind the old man.

After Gao Shizhen walked out of the dungeon, he subconsciously squinted his eyes to avoid the glare of the sun, and said, "Accompany me to a Taoist temple and meet that Taoist from Longzhou. Then go out to the city and go to Tiangong Temple to copy scriptures."

The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

Yao Mansion.

The Goddess of Buried River seemed to remember something. Facing Wen Sheng's lineage, she seemed to be confused every time. There were no more than three things, and she must not be rude anymore. You Gong Liu Rou, pay my respects to Mrs. Chen."

Chen Pingan didn't expect such a great courtesy, so he could only return the salute with a bow: "Chen Ping'an in Luopo Mountain, I have seen the water goddess."

Lost mountain? The one who lost his soul?

Liu Zong, the knife grinder standing aside, was a little puzzled, which mountain would have such an unlucky name? After leaving the Ouhua Blessed Land, especially because of fate, he became a Daquan enshrinement, and his duties were similar to those of the palace guards in the past. Liu Zong often inquired about the origin of Chen Pingan, but it was a pity that in such a large Tongyezhou, looking through the secret documents of the imperial court, or asking the young Sanyao about the word, none of the sects on the mountain and the wealthy families on the mountain were suitable. Now look at the posture of the goddess of the buried river, young master? Could it be that Chen Ping'an is a student of a Confucian academy who is serious about the Eight Classics? But after a great battle, all three academies in Tongyezhou were wiped out. If someone like Chen Pingan was among them, there would be no reason not to be famous. If it is said that Chen Pingan fears death and steals life, Liu Zong absolutely does not believe it anyway. Liu Zong believed in a banished immortal who dared to kill and was able to kill Ding Ying, and he believed in the recognition of himself and Zhong Qiu.

In Liu Zong's life, there were two places where he felt the most itching. The first one was Cheng Yuanshan, the arm sage, who once told him in his hometown that he would not take a celestial magic knife "refinement master", and he would not replace the easy-to-use boning knife. The second place is to turn enemies into friends with Chen Pingan and Zhong Qiu, and choose to fight side by side. Warriors despise life and death, and value morality in the world.

The Goddess of Water asked curiously: "Young Master, you come from Tongyezhou from the Confucian Temple of Zhongtu. Could it be that Master Wensheng received my flying sword message?"

Without waiting for Chen Pingan to reply, and without seeing the little master blinking at her vigorously, she stomped her foot again and said to herself: "I was just out of my mind at the time, and I blame Mirage City for being snowy every year. Where am I? After going through such battles, the snow is like snowflakes. Master Wen Sheng is knowledgeable, capable, heavy burden, and has a lot of time to manage. I shouldn't disturb Master Wen Sheng's dedication to study. The key is that the wording of the letter is not like He is asking for help, too stubborn, unruly, like an old woman who is pissed off. When Fei Jian left, I knew I was wrong. I regretted it and ran hundreds of miles with Fei Jian. How could I catch up with him? Come on, I'm not Mr. Zuo, who has half of the world's swordsmanship. So from last year to now, I have a disturbed conscience, and I face the wall at the Qin Tianjian every day thinking about it, and drink fine wine by myself every day."

The water flower wine of Biyou Palace was originally given to the water god empress to drink like this.

The real name of this water god empress, who never returns home, is Liu Rou. Whether it's the surname or the first name, it seems that it has nothing to do with her temper.

I heard from Yao Xianzhi earlier that in Mirage City, in the early years, I met Liu Yourong, the lord of the Jinhuang Mansion Zheng Su's mountain and water Taoist companion Liu Yourong. When I heard that the other party was also surnamed Liu, the Water Goddess jumped up and slapped Liu Yourong on the shoulder. Coincidentally, in the end, the two parties also recognized their god-sisters. Zheng Su, who was once a prisoner in Mirage City's Water Prison, was able to gain a foothold in Mirage City in the early years, and she was not subject to any supercilious looks. It was a bit like a man's wife's value. In the eyes of Daquan's dignitaries and immortal masters, it was naturally Jinhuang's Mansion that climbed over Biyou Palace. .

Now that the Goddess of Water is pouring beans in a bamboo tube, whether it is suitable or not is all said, Chen Pingan no longer deliberately conceals his cultural identity, and explained with her with a smile: "I came from Tongyezhou from the Creation Cave. Going to the Divine Continent of Middle Earth, so I don’t know about the Water Goddess flying sword to send a letter to Gongdelin.”

The Goddess of Water stamped her foot again, "I'm so annoyed. I have to get stabbed sooner or later. I can't blame Master Literary Saint for scolding me. I asked for it myself. But this knife is so powerful that it never falls. It's not a big deal. I have to I'm counting the days on my hands, and I'm waiting slowly. I might as well write back to Master Wen Sheng and scold him bloody, so that I can go back to Biyou Palace."

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Why did my husband scold you? As for whether he can find a suitable water elixir, whether it is successful or not, I will definitely give the Water God Empress an answer in the letter."

The Water Goddess had a look of guilt and suspicion.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Don't forget that I am your disciple. If you really want to scold you, I will reply to you."

Well, if the Daquan Qin Tianjian can receive a reply from Gong De Lin in the near future, they can ask the Water Goddess to help add a few words to the reply.

According to Jiang Shangzhen and Cui Dongshan's two statements, Mr. is now at Gongdelin and has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years.

She felt relieved at first, and then said with great annoyance: "I'm thinking, young master, you were the first to be a guest, then Mr. Zuo worked tirelessly, and finally Mr. Wen Sheng came in person. How come you are guests at Biyou Palace and don't even eat midnight snacks? Now that it's ready, the fried eel noodles are gone, and I don't think I can treat the guests. I had all the water-splash wine at that time, and there wasn't even a pot and a half of it left. It's troublesome to brew it. It was brewed three to five years ago. Is it considered wine? It doesn’t have a century-old cellar, so how dare you call it aged wine? How can you have the nerve to entertain the young master and the literary sage?”

Seeing the young master's dazed look, the Water Goddess became even more guilty. Well, it would be difficult for Biyou Palace to trick the masters of the literary sage lineage into paying favors and being guests.

Chen Ping'an quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "As long as it's water flower wine, it's fine, whether it's a few years or a few decades, it doesn't matter. As for the eel noodles, I don't insist on it. Lady Water God, let's sit down and chat."

There was a bowl of eel noodles and half a bowl of chili peppers. No one dared to put their chopsticks aside.

This is similar to how a Qi practitioner goes to the table to drink. He can endure a small bowl of red eel noodles, but how can he eat a full bowl? To eat or not to eat? It doesn't matter whether you finish the meal or not, so being polite to the end and not using chopsticks at all is a wise choice.

Chen Ping'an knew that the senior brother didn't like to drink. As for the senior brother who couldn't eat spicy food, my husband also said that in the wine shop.

A Liang once acted mischievously and gave his left and right a bowl of "clear soup" at the dinner table, saying that since he didn't drink alcohol, he would use soup instead of wine. This would not be justified if it was not heroic.

In the end, without thinking much, he raised the bowl and drank the wine, and he drank it all in one gulp. It was said that it was so spicy that Senior Brother Zuo's face turned red, he stood up and stamped his feet, almost rolling on the floor.

So the third senior brother, Liu Shiliu, chased A Liang for several streets.

That is, Biyou Palace, if it were other monks from the Immortal Family, they would dare to carry a large bowl of eel noodles like this and ask if they wanted to have a midnight snack.

Otherwise, it would be a real fight with the left and right.

Everyone sat down and passed by Chen Ping'an of the Daquan Dynasty again, Liu Rou, the buried river god, Yao Xianzhi, the governor of the capital, Liu Zong, the chief minister of Daquan, and Yao Lingzhi, his direct disciple.

Liu Zong, the knife sharpener, had a look of surprise on his face. Good guy, it turns out he is the direct descendant of the Confucian literary sage. Isn't he the junior disciple of the Great Sword Immortal?

Tong Yezhou admired the Zuo Da Sword Immortal so much that he could only be said to be in utter admiration.

It all made sense. Liu Zong was aware of what happened to the Wen Sage and the loss of power within Confucianism. If Chen Ping'an was really the close disciple of the Wen Sage and the young swordsman who was banished to an immortal, he probably had the swordsmanship passed down by Zuo Dajianxian. , in the blessed land, he still likes to talk about truths, but he is also tactful and flexible in life. He can cut out the cocoons from the chaos and find a way out. It is very similar to the style of the big Li Xiuhu. Coupled with the Biyou Palace's high regard for the knowledge of the Literary Saints, it is even more reasonable for the Water Goddess to be so close to Chen Pingan.

Yao Xianzhi and Yao Lingzhi looked at each other.

Disciple of Literary Saint? Or a closed disciple?

Does that mean that Chen Ping'an is the junior brother of the embroidered tiger Cui Chan and the sword immortal?

Yao Lingzhi couldn't help but look at the young man wearing a green shirt with no jade hairpin on his head, as if he still couldn't believe it.

Chen Pingan said to the siblings: "Except for Grandpa Yao, even if it is His Majesty, remember to help keep my identity secret for the time being."

Just when Yao Xianzhi was about to make a joke, Yao Ling stepped on his instep and said in a deep voice: "Master Chen, just don't worry, even if you are on my sister's side, we will keep it secret."

Liu Zong nodded, quite satisfied. The martial arts qualifications of the founding disciple he had recruited were not outstanding in the world, but he was more sophisticated and honed because of his worldliness.

Keep your mouth shut when it is busy, and keep your heart when it is quiet.

It’s practice. Whether it's Qi practitioners proving Taoism and longevity, or martial arts practitioners practicing boxing and climbing high, the paths are different, but the principles are actually the same.

Chen Ping looked at Yao Lingzhi.

The woman with the saber smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you still don't trust me?"

Chen Pingan nodded and smiled, "Of course I can. It's just that it's hard to overlap the image of Miss Yao in front of me with the girl Yao I saw at the inn back then."

Yao Xianzhi joked: "Miss Yao, it sounds so awkward. My sister has been married to a mother-in-law and raised children for many years. Mr. Chen, just call her Sister Yao."

Chen Ping'an said: "I was taking a cross-continental ferry from Liuxiazhou that passed by Yulongzong and Luhua Island, and landed at Qushandu. On the way here, I listened to some rumors in the mountains at Yunku blessed land. , it’s about your Daquan Dynasty, it doesn’t seem very pleasant.”

Yao Lingzhi was a little silent.

Yao Xianzhi sneered and said: "What doesn't sound good, it must be bad. I'm jealous of the Peach Leaf Alliance of our Daquan Dynasty, and even more disgusted that we were lucky enough not to break the country, and now it's a situation where a woman proclaims the emperor. There are a lot of criticisms on the mountain. Mr. Chen If you stay at the Xianjia Ferry in the north of Mirage City for a few more days, you can hear a lot of random gossip. Talk about our emperor, usurpers of the Yao family, and the entire Daquan Dynasty Is it colluding with the Yaozu army, anyway, I can’t see others living well. If you have the ability to stand by and wait for death, being destroyed by the Yaozu beasts, easily destroying the mountains and rivers, it is incapable of admitting that most of our Daquan side army died and injured. In the end I successfully defended a capital city. Those heroes who lay down and waited to die, and the gods on the mountain, really made me admire each of them, so every time I saw one of them these years, I couldn’t help but invite them to drink a toast .”

Yao Lingzhi gave a wry smile, and glared at this outspoken younger brother. You said a lot of strange things yourself. How did you get driven away by your sister Jinzhi in that much-anticipated Peach Leaf Alliance? How did he conflict with the monks of Bailongdong later?

Chen Pingan said softly, "The most difficult thing is after the snow melts."

Liu Zong nodded and said: "Our Mirage City is also famous for its heavy snowfall every year."

The Goddess of Buried River deeply thought it was true, she nodded slightly, and said with emotion, yes, yes.

In fact, she didn't understand the deep meaning, but the snow in Mirage City is not too big, she is a buried river god who is close to water transportation, of course she feels the deepest, it is really all fairy money.

Except for the matter of waiting for the letter, she followed His Majesty's arrangement. Last winter, she went to Mirage City to collect heavy snow and water transportation.

Previously, Chen Pingan's wanderings were an accident that resurfaced in his mind after meeting the Goddess of Buried River, who admired his knowledge the most.

According to Jiang Shangzhen's statement at Yunji Peak, and the casual chat with the Confucian scholars of the academy at the gate of Taiping Mountain, Chen Pingan learned that the current situation of the literary sages in Haoran Tianxia is no longer as bad as it was back then... Even in Chen Pingan's view, there is a sign of going from one extreme to another.

Haoran Tianxia not only no longer forbids the knowledge of Wensheng's lineage, but someone suggested that Haoran's Seventy-two Academy, at least the Sizhou Academy including Aquarius, should only respect the Wenshen's lineage of knowledge, the reason is the matter of the sub-sage's lineage Gong knowledge is obviously more in line with the scholars San Immortal and Xiu Qi Zhiping than the Bia Sheng lineage. Little Aquarius Continent has turned the tide. The three academies in Tongye Continent are all sub-sages, but they will collapse at the touch of a finger. Dading, what is there to hesitate about? Not only that, many Confucian scholars in the academy, writers and scholars from all continents and countries, were filled with righteous indignation, not only suggested that the statue of Wensheng should be moved back to the Confucian Temple of Zhongtu, but even surpassed Yasheng, and should be second only to the most holy teacher and Li Sheng...

After Chen Pingan heard the news, he was not overjoyed, but worried.

On the contrary, there is a feeling of being counted and right by Cui Chan again.

On the top of the city, Cui Chan said with a smile, is the world peaceful, it seems so. Can you sit back and relax? I don't think so.

When Chen Ping returned to Haoran Tianxia, ​​he only said that Haoran Tianxia's perception of Wen Sheng's lineage had changed. Is it a good thing? of course. Is it just a good thing? Not necessarily.

Chen Pingan is very clear about a truth, all the reputations that seem to be lifted up by words, when suspended in the air, are like birds in the white clouds, spotless.

But this beauty that hangs high above everyone's heads will often fall heavily into the world, becoming a puddle of mud under everyone's feet, and even trampled by many people, just passing by, adding one or two casual words.

If Wen Sheng's lineage, Mr.'s disciples, peaches and plums are all over the world, this potential legacy will be shared evenly invisibly. But in fact, this is not the case. It can even be said that on the contrary, there are too few direct disciples of Mr. Wen Sheng. And Cui Chan once said that Chen Pingan didn't have to think too much about making a statement with an article. meritorious service? The world is peaceful, from now on, what can Chen Pingan do? Lide? Chen Pingan himself never thought about it, never thought about it, from the day he founded the sect, Chen Pingan didn't think he would be a Taoist. That being the case, it means that Chen Pingan's identity, whether it is a closed disciple of the Wensheng lineage or the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall, once the truth of the two comes to light, it will be a double-edged sword that will consume countless hearts.

In fact, the same is the scene of melting snow.

Chen Pingan and Liu Zong continued the previous topic, talking about the silk and satin shop facing the water in Kejia Bridge, the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom.

Some of the words used the method of gathering sounds into lines.

Chen Pingan intends to make some preparations, so that this knife sharpener will also think about the old days. In the future, Chen Pingan will have the nerve to encourage this senior to serve as an anonymous offering to the descendant of Luoluo Mountain in the future.

Every pure martial artist who can walk out of the blessed land, whether it is fist, heart, or rivers and lakes experience, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

At that time, Liu Zong asked the national teacher Zhongqiu to help sell the shop, so that the unnamed disciples could share the money, so that they would not be shy in the rivers and lakes without the care of the master, and those young people in Nanyuan Kingdom did not know Old Liu, who is a bit of a martial artist, was actually one of the top ten people in the world at that time. His master was not around, so he still had a few hundred taels of silver in his pocket. As far as the authorities of each blessed land are divided into four, in fact, the temporary impact has not yet been revealed. When they realize this, warriors need to be in the golden body state, and Qi practitioners need to be among the golden elixir. At that time, they will not be helpless, especially It is the blessed land of lotus roots in Luoba Mountain. Whether it is martial arts luck or the aura of mountains and rivers, it is enough for both parties to continue climbing the mountain, repainting their bodies that were painted in white and painted in gold.

When Liu Zong learned that one of his disciples, a young man with no outstanding aptitude, had become the first martial artist of the five realms, the old man was deeply moved, and only said that fate was made by heaven, and he asked for his own blessing.

As for the division of Ouhua Blessed Land into four, Chen Pingan was able to occupy one of them. Liu Zong would not go to the bottom of the matter, why the old temple master would do this, and how Chen Pingan succeeded. A little homesick.

When the two parties talked about the old temple master, they were both a little silent, and no one commented lightly on the "God" of the Lotus Blessed Land.

The more Liu Zong jumped out of the "water well" and came into contact with the vast world of Haoran Tianxia, ​​the more afraid he was of the old temple master. In addition, he finally landed in Daquan, especially when Liu Zong saw a certain hanging portrait in the Taimiao , it seems even more like a lifetime away.

Chen Ping'an was really convinced by this old master of the Taoist Temple in the East China Sea, but also had lingering fears in his heart. It's not just that the old temple master is a fourteenth realm monk.

The word "awe" is really too ingenious. The key is to respect the front and fear the back. It is even better.

Chen Pingan suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Liu is only half a step away from being a martial artist in the remote realm. Can we have a chance to learn sword skills?"

Yao Lingzhi was puzzled, his master was still a swordsman? Master's moves, whether it is to retreat the enemy in the palace, or to fight on the battlefield outside the capital, have always been both internal and external fists, and never use weapons against the enemy.

Last year, a man in black from the Northern Jin Dynasty sneaked into the imperial palace with the intention of assassinating him. He had a very high level of martial arts and was able to travel far away against the wind. At first, Yao Jinzhi mistook him for a Qi trainer, but when he got close, the knife was unsheathed and was killed. The other party injured his internal organs with a punch, and fell to the ground. It was the master who stopped the other party and forced the other party to sacrifice a Bingjia Jiawan. He was wearing a nectar armor. Only then withdrew from the palace.

Liu Zong was in high spirits, "When did Brother Chen turn to play swords?"

The knife sharpener's weapon in hand is a boning knife. In the battle with Yu Zhenyi, who looked like a sword fairy, the boning knife was severely worn, and was knocked out by a glazed sword that was a relic of the fairy family.

So all these years, Liu Zong has always faced the enemy with both hands, reluctant to take out the boning knife that depends on each other. After all, the vast world is no better than the blessed land of lotus root flowers. Even if it's completely gone.

Back then, on the top of the capital city of Nanyuan Kingdom, the person who heard the drum and was able to ascend to the ascension, the knife sharpener Liu Zong, was left in the Ouhua Blessed Land, and came to Tongyezhou to change a pair of skins. Today he still looks like an old man, but in fact, he looks somewhat similar to an ancestor emperor of the Daquan Liu family, and the descendants of the Daquan Liu family are notoriously handsome. The princes are all recognized handsome men.

The bottleneck of the Golden Body Realm is hard to break. It's not that Liu Zong's martial arts aptitude is not good, so he can only stop at the Golden Body Realm, unable to travel far away, but because the new physique bestowed by the Taoist Temple is too strong.

Liu Zong kept his name incognito in the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom. He had the face of the shopkeeper of the shop by the river, with thinning hair, crooked melons and jujubes. When I was young, my appearance was not much better.

So before Liu Zong said that when he was young, he had the same bearing and demeanor as Chen Jianxian. Even if Chen Pingan didn't care about his appearance, he really didn't bother to agree. When you go out and walk in the rivers and lakes, you still have to talk about treating people with sincerity.

Chen Pingan said: "A few years ago, when I had nothing to do, I happened to get two daggers of good quality. I remembered the fight in Brother Liu's hometown. There were many rehearsals, and I was somewhat familiar with it. Except for Brother Liu In fact, together with Yu Zhenyi's Xiugang, Zhongfuzi's Bengquan, Jing Xinzhai's finger sword, and Cheng Yuanshan's spear, I have randomly stewed them all into the sword technique, so I dare to be a master today. Seeing Brother Liu use the saber master like this, let's talk about a discussion."

Liu Zong rubbed his hands together and said: "It's a good feeling. Brother, I haven't used swords for many years, so I'm afraid that if I'm unfamiliar, Brother Chen will laugh at me."

Liu Zong was afraid that he would lose face on the side of his direct disciples. After all, boxing is afraid of young people. If you come and go, the two sides will exchange dozens of moves, and whoever loses will win. It will be good for face. What if Chen Jianxian has only practiced swords for a few days, and he has no sense of proportion in his hands? However, Chen Ping'an was young and energetic, but in the end he treated himself like a baby, Liu Zong didn't think he had the slightest chance of winning.

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I just asked Brother Liu for a few sword skills. In fact, what I said to learn from each other was all my fault."

The old man glanced at his disciple Yao Lingzhi's saber, and was really moved by the sparring. The knife sharpener Liu Zongben is a martial idiot, and in the fight back then, he fought against Chen Pingan, which was not enjoyable, and the tie was considered a tie.

Afterwards, he was bullied from beginning to end by Yu Zhenyi, who went up to the mountain and practiced the magic of the immortal family, which made Liu Zong even more aggrieved.

The saber handed down by his personal disciple Yao Lingzhi has a great origin, with a wooden handle wrapped in bright yellow silk sash, and the end and guard are made of copper with gilded flower and leaf patterns. It is extremely heavy, and the handle is inlaid with red coral and lapis lazuli. The scabbard is also made of wood, covered with a layer of green shark skin, and two gold-plated copper hoops horizontally tied, all of which were made by the Daquan Manufacturing Office.

This "Famous Spring", which has been treasured for two hundred years in the Daquan Secret Library, although the name smells like copper, it is a genuine magic weapon. It was once used by the founding emperor of the Liu family to kill the last emperor with his own hands, so it naturally contains a part of Daquan's martial arts. , and extremely heavy dragon spirit. No matter if you are dealing with a pure martial artist or an immortal master on the mountain, you will not suffer from weapons, especially if you use them to defeat mountain spirits-water monsters and ghosts, they will be even more powerful.

Yao Lingzhi persuaded: "Master, after all, Mr. Chen has just arrived in Mirage City, traveling all the way against the wind, it is very hard, you two don't rush to learn sword skills."

Liu Zong nodded and said yes, saying that there is really no such way of hospitality.

Because the knife sharpener finally remembered something, the movement of Chen Ping's punching the door open earlier was not small. Liu Zong weighed it for a while, and felt that this Chen Pingan, who is both a sword fairy and a martial artist, is not a real sword fairy. He is probably at least a martial artist in the remote realm, at least, at most, of course he is in the mountain top realm, otherwise It can't always be the end of the legend. Wufu of ten realms, one Tongyezhou, only Wu Shu and Ye Yunyun are now. If there is not much difference between Chen Ping's appearance and his age, based on the estimate of the Ouhua Blessed Land back then, then a mountain peak who is less than fifty years old is enough to shock the world.

Liu Zong couldn't help but glanced at the young man in the blue shirt. He was a sword fairy when he was young, and now he is a pure martial artist who has traveled the least far away, and he is a closed disciple of the Wensheng lineage. He looks pretty good Handsome, demeanor, calm, very master-like, with a bookish air, the more he looks, the more irritating he is... No, the more he looks, the more he looks like himself when he was young.

"Let's learn about sword skills, we'll talk about it later."

Liu Zong laughed and said, "It's just that Brother Chen is talking about these little things about sesame and mung beans with me. Will he lose his position? If you're impatient, don't hide it, remember to speak up."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "When people go to high places, they talk about realm, cultivation, and boxing skills. When water flows to low places, it talks about people's hearts, nostalgia, and incense."

Liu Zong clapped his hands and applauded: "A new interpretation of an old saying. It's unique. It's interesting and chewy. It's worth drinking a pot of water flower wine."

The Goddess of Water complained: "I didn't say that, the water flower wine is gone, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Xiao Liu, are you annoying? There is really wine for you to drink until you are full, every time you don't drink two pots of wine After drinking, your hands start to shake, a bowl can give you half a bowl of wine, and you are still playing with a knife? What are you doing, just admit defeat with the little master, anyway, half of the surrender."

On Liu Zong's side, she is used to being called Xiao Liu. She can't drink, let alone eat spicy food. She also likes to stutter like her own cook.

Liu Zong, who had been exposed, left angrily.

Now, the Daquan capital under his feet requires him to stare at at least half of the mirage city, where fish and dragons are mixed, and immortal masters from all over the continent who have gone down the mountain to experience, all like to settle here, and he needs to come forward to make connections in every aspect, just like that The second time Yao Xianzhi, the little bastard, had an enmity with Bailongdong, which was also settled by Liu Zong. Fortunately, Xue Huai and Guo Bailu were two warriors who were easy to talk to, otherwise the Jinding Temple would enshrine Lu Ying, the bad old Yuan Ying, and You It is expected that these genealogical immortal masters are the ones who are afraid of chaos in the world, so they can easily be fooled by asking Yao Fu Yin to fine him a salary for one year.

This is Yao Xianzhi's residence, and this Mr. Yin of the capital also has a lot of things to talk to Mr. Chen.

The Goddess of Buried River also got up to say goodbye. On the side of the Qin Tianjian in the capital, besides waiting for Master Wensheng's reply, Liu Rou actually had one more serious business to do, which was to entrust her to refine a moat for Stabilize the landscape formation of Mirage City. After all, Liu Rou is the number one orthodox water god of the Daquan Dynasty, and in the mountain and river genealogy of the Ministry of Rites of a country, she has not lost at all to the Great Tiger of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Chen Pingan got up and said he wanted to see off the water god empress.

Liu Rou changed her mind and realized that some things are really not suitable for chatting in crowded places.

So as soon as she walked out of the yard, she said in a heartfelt voice: "Little master, let's not talk about anything else, such as praying for rain and other internal affairs, I was actually sloppy. Anyway, what the court said and did in the past, it will be the same in the future. But now Begging for a child in my ancestral temple is really effective. I don’t even know that I have this ability. Anyway, it’s just three characters, which is very effective! Little Master? Huh?”

Chen Pingan was speechless.

The Goddess of Water laughed loudly, she was really very witty, she stood on tiptoe, huh? The little master was running really fast, so she had to put her toes on the ground quickly, and then she patted the little master on the shoulder, and continued to say: "Don't worry, next time I go to the temple to burn incense, little girl!" The master said hello to me in advance, I must pay attention to it, not to mention the apparition or something, it doesn’t matter if I kowtow together with the little master, you don’t know, little master, the statues in the temple that respect the golden body are handsome It’s okay, just one word, beautiful..."

Chen Pingan had no choice but to interrupt the words of the water goddess, and explained: "I'm not asking for this, I just want to talk about the Taoist formula recorded in that jade slip."

Liu Rou asked suspiciously, "Did something go wrong on the way to practice?"

She stomped her foot, "That old Dragon King Dadu, his mother, is so dead that he insisted on leaving that piece of jade slip behind. Monument... Little master, don't worry, it seems that I have done bad things with good intentions, but I am not the kind who likes to shirk responsibility. I will take responsibility for any sequelae. I'll give you an IOU first... Haha, write the IOU casually, my little master, don't tell Master Wensheng about this..."

Chen Ping wrapped his arms around his sleeves, and said helplessly: "It's not about this, Empress Water God, why don't you just listen to me and finish slowly?"

She let out an aggrieved voice and said, "I'm flustered. Are you surprised? I haven't seen Mr. Wensheng before. I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma, saying that I will be satisfied if I see it once in my life. Wait until I really see him." It’s not enough, I want to pay my respects to Master Wensheng for the second time, of course, I don’t think it’s too much for the third time, hey, Master Wensheng, you’re really a saint, that kind of bearing, at night, it’s just Like a lantern made of the sun, it was so shaggy and radiant that I recognized it as soon as I saw it. At the first glance, I definitely knew at a glance that it was Master Wen Sheng who came to the mansion in person. Sure enough, Master Wen Sheng is so magnificent and unique A piece of sage's image can never be hidden, the first time I saw Zuo Jianxian, my eyesight was a little weak, and I didn't recognize it until the second time..."

Chen Ping'an has resigned himself to his fate, let's wait for the Water Goddess to finish first.

The Buried River used to be the main channel of the Dadu River in Tongyezhou, but with the passage of time, the size of the Dadu River has been greatly reduced. In the end, only a small section of the river channel, the Buried River, remains in the Dadu Sea. The predecessor of Biyou Mansion was the former site of the Dragon Palace of a Dadu Dragon King. The jade slip that condensed water transportation into substance is the proof of the Lord of Dadu. "The inscription praying for rain" was engraved on it one by one, with detailed annotations and meticulous annotations.

After a great battle, most of the golden body of the Water Goddess is now broken. Just relying on the several heavy snowfalls a year in Mirage City, it is estimated that without a three-hundred-year repair, it may not be able to return to perfection. However, the Liu family of Daquan has only established the country for more than two hundred years. Unless the imperial court can help the buried river to widen the river course, and at the same time absorb more streams and rivers that originally flowed differently.

However, Chen Pingan knew well that it was impossible for the Yao family in Daquan, whether public or private, to tilt the national power of the country so much towards a buried river, and it would definitely not be a good thing for the Yao family or the buried river.

The gods of mountains and rivers, big and small, as big as the five mountains and mountains, as small as the earth, Hebo and Hepo, are also a big officialdom.

The Goddess of Water finally came back to her senses, the little master walked beside her in silence for a long time, and then began to travel so far that she even forgot to speak?

When Chen Ping stopped talking, she finally said in her heart: "The Goddess of Water used to give me the Dao Jue together with the jade slips, and the benefits are beyond imagination. It used to be, it is now, maybe in the future More so. To be honest, relying on it, I survived a period of not so smooth days."

Liu Rou said with a hearty smile: "That's good, what do I think it's about, the little master is so serious, it made me worry until now, thank you and say goodbye, see you, we are different, whoever we are. "

Chen Ping'an became more and more helpless. There are some truths that I can't say much now, but the temper of the water god empress really didn't take the jade slip formula seriously.

The seal engraving of the water-carrying jade slips with the true formula of Taoism has two sides, the content of the formula and the marginal text, a total of more than 5,000 words, plus the Taoist formula of refining things taught by the real Huolong in the cave of the Dragon Palace, two and two. Plus, they complement each other, allowing Chen Pingan to have a lot of things to do at the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

The method of practice seems to be refining, but it actually explains the principle of the operation of the five elements, which is very suitable for Chen Pingan. In addition, the definition of the meridians of the human body is extremely mysterious and precise. … From breaking the golden elixir, becoming a Nascent Soul, and then becoming a martial artist on the top of the mountain, it is simply tailor-made for Chen Pingan, and it will be of great benefit. The most important thing, the most mysterious, is that the Taoist formula involves the fourth city on the twelfth floor of the fifth city of Baiyujing. Those who get the jade slip can find that there are four roads hidden in it, each of which can make people feel better. It is hoped that he will be on the road to the top five realms, and he will not go astray, and will not be easily confused by the heart demon. Of course, the heart demon is still there, and it is impossible to disappear out of thin air. Taoism is better than general.

This is the so-called "turning into four days of coolness, sweeping away the world's heat" in the Taoist formula, so that people who practice Taoism seem to be in a cool place with high-rise buildings on the flat ground, and the demons are excluded. Let’s first break open a small world where a sage sits in town. If a qi trainer with the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul is facing the inner demon, he is confronting a Jade Realm with the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul.

Then, with the protection of this Taoism, and the heavenly official of that door as the door god, guarding the door for the qi practitioners, it is tantamount to bringing an originally invincible demon back to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Chen Pingan briefly explained the situation.

Liu Rou was at a loss when she heard this, and then felt a little embarrassed, and said honestly, "There are four ways to ascend to heaven hidden in the text on the jade slips? There are so many? Why didn't I know? I thought there was only one step to ascend to immortality."

Just like a Confucian sage who wrote a book that has been exegesized by later generations of Taoists. As a result, the sage who didn’t think too much when he wrote the pen was completely fooled by those exegetical books.

Chen Pingan raised his hands and took out his sleeves, rubbed his brows, and said, "It doesn't matter if the Water Goddess doesn't know. Anyway, what I mean by these words is that this gift is too heavy, and it is so great that I cannot repay it."

Liu Rou waved her hand, "Be polite and polite, good things are never too late and nothing is too big. My young master, please don't take it too seriously, otherwise you will lose some of your pride."

That being said, when the Water Goddess walked, she raised her head high and looked very heroic.

Chen Ping'an said: "I have a suggestion. The Water Goddess can rely on this Taoist secret to make a purchase with a certain sect's head fairy family that she likes, such as Yugui Sect Shenzhuan Peak or Yunku. Blessed Land, or Fuji Sect, and Taiping Mountain, which will renew the incense of the Patriarch Hall in the future. If you feel that a girl will not marry into two families, I personally suggest that she sell it to Jiang Shangzhen of Yunku Blessed Land."

As for the Taiping Mountain side, we have to wait for seventy or eighty years. The Water Goddess will most likely be embarrassed and just do it for herself. However, it must still be a favor from Biyou Palace. I am just a message from her to the future mountain of Taiping Mountain. host.

This Taoist secret method is suitable for every earthly immortal, whether it is a genealogy master or a wild cultivator in the mountains and rivers. No matter how tenacious the Taoist heart is, no matter how unswayed it is by external objects, he will still be wildly surprised, and he will be able to "reach the heaven" four more times in vain. "Opportunity, it seems that there are Taoist heavenly officials guarding to help reduce the influence of demons, who would not be happy?

It is even dreamed of by any sect with a deep foundation. The reason is very simple, a sect has enough earth immortals.

As long as there is an Earth Immortal's path of cultivation, which is the path of the Five Elements, similar to Chen Ping'an, or the black-clothed scholar from Chongxuan Office in Luzhou, Beiju, practicing this technique will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Even if there is no one for the time being, the sect can also open up this path early for some of the most qualified patriarch halls to pass on. If the monks ask their questions carefully, practice patiently, and the sect carefully cultivates and protects the Tao, then in the next hundred and thousand years, the number of Taoist monks who will reach the level of Earth Immortal or even the Upper Five Realms will be far greater than before.

If on this trip to Daquan Capital, he must meet General Yao, or if he plans to visit Jinhuang Mansion and then visit Biyou Palace, Chen Ping'an must say thank you to the Goddess of Burial River Water.

Chen Pingan was able to decide early on that he wanted to open up a lower sect for Luopo Mountain, and finally chose Tongyezhou as the site.

This jade slip is of great merit.

Don't worry about the name of Xia Zong, I am the best at naming things, there are too many good names, I am worried.

As for the first suzerain of the next sect, it will be Cao Qinglang.

Cui Dongshan and Pei Qian may have a need to come to Tongyezhou to help Cao Qinglang. Cao Qinglang is most likely the youngest sect leader in the history of Haoran World, or one of them.

In addition, Cui Wei, a sword cultivator who is already in the Nascent Soul Realm, and of course Sui Youyou, who is still a Jindan sword cultivator, will all come here from Luopo Mountain to settle down if nothing unexpected happens. If Sword Immortal Mi is willing, he can also come to Tongyezhou. After all, Xiazong is relatively close to Huashen Mountain in Yunku blessed land.

However, apart from Cao Qinglang, the next suzerain, whether other people leave Luopo Mountain depends on their own wishes.

Chen Pingan said to Jiang Shangzhen that his Luopo Mountain is not a word, but it is really not empty talk.

Liu Rou shook her head vigorously, "Sell me a hammer. If you don't sell it, the object given away will not be mine. Although that old sect leader Jiang can indeed be regarded as an old hero, if he could do other things and make friends, I secretly It’s too late to be happy, but if you want to do business, forget it, I don’t like it. Friends made through business will not last long. If you want to do business, the jade slips and Taoist secrets belong to the young master. You can go do it by yourself. You should make money. Just make money, don't delay, and don't be afraid that I will overthink it. I can't trust anyone, but I can trust you. Make an agreement in advance, no matter whether it is one transaction or several transactions, it has nothing to do with me or Biyou Palace, otherwise in the future The little master really can’t eat water flower wine and eel noodles.”

"Then I'll listen to Empress Water God."

Chen Pingan sighed, covered his sleeves with both hands, and walked slowly without saying a word.

When I visited the Biyou Palace, I got drunk and boldly sat down to talk about the Tao. The reason for the order was mainly because the Water Goddess had studied the knowledge of my husband for many years and finally achieved Taoism and golden body.

One drink and one peck.

In the early years, he was a half-baked preacher in Biyou Palace, but in the end he gave Chen Pingan a "several times in the upper five realms".

Because Chen Ping'an once passed the Taoist secret of "reaching immortality in one step" through this jade slip, when it was almost impossible to maintain a normal Taoist mind, he had to bend his mind, actively abandon his prejudice against Bai Yujing, and practice this method. , on the top of the Sword Qi Great Wall, he sneaked into the upper five realms three times, no longer the "fake jade" on the top of the Hedao City, but then he interrupted the already illusory section of the White Jade Palace. Qiao, chose to return to Yuanying.

So much so that even Na Longjun was not sure whether Chen Ping'an was a fake jade, a real baby, or a real jade, a fake immortal.

When Lord Long didn't speak, Jiashen Zhangjian Xianzi's innocence and liubai all thought that the young hermit was at most Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator.

After Long Jun revealed the secret at the top of the city, Chen Pingan immediately interrupted an illusory "White Jade Capital Bridge of Immortality", returned to the Nascent Soul from the real Jade Pu realm, and became a fake Jade Pu again.

Chen Ping's request at the time was not only to use this to stabilize his Dao heart, but also to let the Dragon Lord draw his sword for the last time, the later, the later the better, and it would be best if the mountains and rivers were turned upside down, and the Dragon Lord had never released his sword However, even before Cui Chan rushed to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Long Jun still chose to use the sword, and he would not be sure of his true realm. Even if he got it right, Chen Pingan was a real swordsman in the Jade Raw Realm after all, and he didn't dare to talk about his chances of winning, at least he had a better chance of changing his life with Dragon Lord.

It's just that these back and forth calculations, and the constant intrigue with the Dragon Lord, are no match for the last sword of the boss sword fairy.

But this does not mean that Chen Pingan's thinking is meaningless. After arriving at Tongyezhou, the group of behind-the-scenes masters including the Immortal Wanyao Sect and Han Yushu have seen it very accurately. The Chen Pingan who needs to be feared the most is how Chen Pingan came from, not the level of the current state. , what is the identity.

Of course, Chen Pingan was so frenzied. In the Jade Raw Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm, his ups and downs meant that he had three chances to fight the demons. And he has a better understanding of Bai Yujing who is destined to visit.

Liu Rou suddenly laughed, stretched out two thumbs, and asked in a low voice: "Chen Pingan, you and our emperor, your majesty, huh?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, "Don't make such a joke."

Liu Rou sighed, "It's not good to be too honest."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "In the future, I will bring my wife to visit Biyou Palace."

The Water God Empress looked shocked, and stomped her feet vigorously, "What?! I really have a wife, so am I out of luck?"

Chen Ping's face was embarrassed, and he decided to pay a visit to Zaihe by himself.

She jumped up and slapped Chen Ping'an on the shoulder, and said with a big smile, "It's still the same as before, thin-skinned and nonchalant, it scares you."

Chen Pingan reminded solemnly: "This kind of joke is not allowed, really."

The Goddess of Water smiled, put her hands on the back of her head, walked swaggeringly, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Chen Pingan, it's still possible to meet each other, just chat like this, don't worry about tomorrow's disappearance, that's great, really."

Chen Pingan hummed.

————

Yao Lingzhi not only sent the master out of the mansion, but also got into the carriage, the master and the apprentice sat opposite each other.

Liu Zong asked: "Is there something on your mind?"

Yao Lingzhi shook his head and smiled, "I reunited with Yao's benefactor. This benefactor also happens to be old friends with Master. What can I worry about?"

Liu Zong smiled and said nothing, and began to close his eyes to rest his mind, warming up his fist bit by bit.

The senior officials of the Daquan Temple, as well as some wealthy families, have always had a well-known opinion. Without the successive changes caused by one person in the past, the national surname of the Daquan Dynasty would never be changed from Liu to Yao.

At the border, if it wasn't for the young foreigner who passed by and rescued the old general Yao Zhen from the Northern Jin assassins, naturally there would be no future entry to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War, let alone Yao Jinzhi's marriage to the emperor's family. In the Huer Town Inn, the third prince Liu Mao was seriously injured. The biggest loss was the sudden death of Li Li, the imperial horse inspector who guarded the palace Huai in Daquan, which made Liu Mao lose the secret support of half of Daquan Jianghu. Li Li's mediation, Liu Mao was unable to convince the crowd, and as a result, a strange priest named Liu Zong completely accepted the forces of the world.

More importantly, because of the premature death of the only son Gao Shuyi, Shen Guogong Gao Shizhen and Liu Mao drifted away. No matter why Gao Shuyi died, he died under Liu Mao's nose after all. Shen Guogong's mansion closed Liu Mao door. In addition to the subsequent interception, it was once the leader of the literary world of the Daquan Dynasty. The gentleman of the academy, Wang Qi, disappeared, and this person was also the only ally of the eldest prince Liu Cong in Mirage City. After that, the Xu clan of Mirage City began to part ways with the eldest prince Liu Cong.

The interlocking chain finally made the second prince ascend the throne smoothly, so there was that strange remark of the feudal king Liu Cong on a rainy night.

In Liu Cong's view, even if Yao Jinzhi proclaims himself emperor, she is still a woman, so as long as she is willing to marry, the Daquan Dynasty is very likely to change her surname along with her.

In Liu Cong's eyes, the young but thoughtful Chen Pingan, as long as he is willing to return to Daquan again, occupy Daquan, and hold his palm repeatedly.

What's more, the vassal king Liu Cong and his allies, who secretly went to Taoyedu to discuss matters, and later the chief enshrined Lu Ying of Jinding Temple, actually equated the blue-clothed swordsman who showed up at that time with Chen Pingan.

It's just that the secret discussion at the ferry before the League of Peach Leafs, even Liu Zong, who was guarding the palace of Daquan, and Yao Lingzhi, a relative of the emperor, were still kept in the dark until today.

If Liu Cong in the prison didn't tell, Gao Shizhen, the Duke of the country didn't tell, and Du Hanling from the Jinding Temple didn't tell, naturally no one knew about it.

But Yao Lingzhi has been carefully hiding a big secret in his heart for so many years. Master Liu Zong doesn't know about this matter, only she knows, not even his sister Yao Jinzhi.

In the heavily guarded palace back then, there appeared a man in a blue shirt with a sword on his back. Yao Lingzhi didn't recognize him at first, but Yao Lingzhi was startled by the first sentence the other party spoke.

"Miss Yao, we have finally met after so many years of separation. Is it okay to be so close?"

Yao Lingzhi blurted out at that time and directly called out the opponent's name.

Chen Ping? !

The blue-clothed swordsman nodded with a smile, put his finger on his lips, and said softly, "I'll be leaving right away, Miss Yao, just relax, I'm here in Mirage City, everything will be safe."

At that time, Yao Lingzhi said out of nowhere, "You really don't want to go and see the near one?"

The blue-clothed swordsman who had turned from a boy into a young man shook his head and said with a smile, "No need. I'm relieved to see that you are all safe and sound."

Then the other party disappeared in a flash, and it was like entering a land of no one in Mirage City.

To this day, Yao Lingzhi feels that it was a dream, and what he said about rest assured is just his dream come true.

Moreover, Yao Lingzhi did not tell his sister, who was the Queen at the time, about this matter. When Yao Jinzhi became His Majesty the Emperor, Yao Lingzhi had no idea of ​​telling the matter.

So for so many years, Yao Lingzhi has been very afraid of seeing the man who saved the Yao family twice again.

Worry about that eventuality.

Because the senior management of Daquan knew that on the Zhaoping Peak outside the capital, there used to be a blue-clothed swordsman who liked to enjoy the snowy scenery of Mirage City from a distance.

Rumor has it that he is the sword fairy who is the first of the Hundred Sword Fairies in Tuoyue Mountain.

From the wild world!

But how did he become a closed disciple of Wen Sheng's line again?

Could it be that the Goddess of Burial River Water was deceived?

But no matter what, be it Feiran or Chen Pingan, they saved the Yao family twice and the Daquan Dynasty once.

In addition to this outstanding, the reputation in Tongyezhou is actually not bad, it seems that he has never made a move, which is similar to the credit month that has been approved by the Confucian Temple.

Yao Lingzhi's brows were full of sadness, and he suddenly asked: "Master, what kind of person do you think Mr. Chen is?"

Liu Zong said: "Young, old Jianghu, good old man is very smart, so it is worth entrusting life and death."

Yao Lingzhi smiled and said: "Master, Mr. Chen is not with you at the moment, it's just us master and apprentice, please tell me some truthful words."

Liu Zong laughed and said: "A person with a family background of one thousand taels always wants to be brothers with those who have ten thousand taels of silver. People with ten thousand taels of silver are not willing to deal with people with one thousand taels of silver. Those who have one hundred thousand taels of silver People with millions of taels of silver, but they don’t mind dealing with people with thousands of taels of silver, or even people with only a hundred or ten taels of silver, their expressions are kind and approachable.”

Yao Lingzhi asked doubtfully, "Master has a very general impression of Chen Pingan?"

"Master, didn't you deliberately show off a few profound words with you, why are you nervous?"

Liu Zong shook his head and joked: "Why, you have actually liked that boy for many years? Not bad, not bad. I have a good eye on my apprentice, and my apprentice has a good eye on men. No wonder we can be masters and apprentices."

Yao Lingzhi smiled and said: "Master, how old are you, can you be more serious?"

Liu Zong stroked his beard and smiled, "In fact, Chen Ping'an has seen through your worries a long time ago. This boy's ability to observe people's emotions and see the subtleties is very good. The master learned it personally back then. To steal a punch, just show him a few Things to do with your eyes are as easy as eating."

Yao Lingzhi immediately turned pale.

Liu Zong's expression became solemn. As a founding disciple, he had never been so at a loss when it came to men and women. He was actually very generous about who he liked and who he didn't like. So Liu Zong lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

After a while.

Liu Zong said in a deep voice: "I will immediately fly my sword to send a letter to His Majesty the Emperor. This letter must be more clear and cannot be as vague as your previous letter. And you must remember it firmly. Things must not be made public easily. Determining Chen Ping'an's identity is not easy or difficult. Except for Liu Rou of Biyou Palace, Daquan only needs to find someone who has actually met Mr. Wen Sheng and Zuo Dajianxian. People. Lingzhi, this matter involves too much, you must not mess up your own position, if you are not careful, it will involve a huge disturbance in the turmoil of the Confucian Temple!"

Yao Lingzhi's expression was pale, he bit his lip and nodded heavily.

————

After the Goddess of Buried River returned to Qin Tianjian, Chen Pingan returned to Yao Xianzhi's residence.

I remember the first time I met Yao Xianzhi, he was only fourteen years old.

Chen Ping'an's return home this time originally wanted to use Tongyezhou Tianshi to confirm the authenticity of the dream. The successive appearances of Jiang Shangzhen, Cui Dongshan, and Pei Qian, plus the secret letter from Xinhu, made it certain.

Since Luopo Mountain is safe and sound, there is nothing wrong with waiting for a few more days for the young mountain owner to return home.

But some things don't wait for anyone.

Children are anxious to grow up, and they seem to be in a hurry. There is certainly nothing to stop the old people from aging hastily.

Yao Zhen, the veteran general of the Daquan Dynasty in Tongyezhou, the old nanny in the haunted house of Caiyi Country in Baopingzhou, and Song Yushao, an old senior in Shushui Country.

Of course, there is also the bearded ranger, Xu Yuanxia, ​​who is like an elder brother.

Yao Xianzhi was also surprised that every time he wanted to have something to say to Mr. Chen, he would just wait until he had the chance to speak freely before he started to get lazy.

Chen Ping'an asked: "Are there any hermit masters inside and outside Daquan Capital?"

Yao Xianzhi shook his head, "I am Fu Yin after all. The so-called masters outside the world are actually recorded in the books, but those who should be famous have long been famous. There are really those old gods who are lying around and hiding deeply. I still I really don’t know, you actually have to ask my sister about this, she and Liu Gongfeng are now in charge of Daquan intelligence."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Just a casual question, don't take it seriously."

Yao Xianzhi asked: "Is there something wrong? Can I help?"

Chen Pingan said: "If something is really wrong, you can't help. When traveling in the world, the first purpose is to run away when the opportunity arises. You kid is limping and can't keep up with me. Do you still want me?" Running away with you on my back? As a robe servant, if there are flying swords, magic and other things, you will carry them?"

Yao Xianzhi said helplessly: "Mr. Chen, don't always make fun of a cripple. You were not like this back then."

Chen Ping'an laughed and scolded: "You weren't lame back then."

Yao Xianzhi scratched his head, "That's true."

Chen Pingan suddenly said: "Don't be so shy all day long. Just wait patiently. Let me tell you something. I plan to choose Tongyezhou as the location for my next sect in the future, but it will be further north than Daquan. When the time comes, you If you have time, or if you feel that the smell of horse manure at the border is enough, go to my place to relax. I will make an exception for you and give you an anonymous offering directly. "

Yao Xianzhi suddenly straightened his back, "Seriously?!"

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "Of course I take it seriously. As for whether you take it seriously or not, can I still control a first-grade county prince who wears the hat of a governor?"

Just when Yao Xianzhi was about to joke about what would happen if he became a brother-in-law, Mr. Chen seemed to have no idea, and Mr. Fu Yin received a slap on the head.

Yao Xianzhi lay on the table.

Chen Pingan took out two jugs of wine and threw them to one of Yao Xian's, then began to think about things by himself, pointing at the table from time to time.

Yao Xianzhi drank the wine and asked, "Is it the magic of the Immortal family? Seeing mountains and rivers with palms or something?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, "It's a stinky chess basket, playing casually. You drink yours."

Yao Xianzhi looked at it for a while, but couldn't see the way out, so he concentrated on drinking without thinking about anything, and instead felt sleepy.

Chen Pingan said: "If you feel sleepy, go back to the house and sleep."

Yao Xianzhi shook his head, "What are you sleeping on, there's no woman to warm the bed."

Chen Ping squinted at this scruffy man with a beard.

Yao Xianzhi blushed a little, "Mr. Chen, I'm really not too young, and I have no outsiders, so I'm not allowed to say a few nasty words."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Then what it's like to be a bachelor, do you know?"

Yao Xianzhi sighed and continued drinking. Mr. Chen was really not like this before.

Chen Pingan continued to stare at the empty table.

Although he is a stinky chess player, he still knows a thing or two about chess theory, and he didn't think much about it during those years at the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Xiazong chose Tongyezhou as the site to protect Taiping Mountain, and later searched for Tianque Peak to occupy the position of "Tianquan" and interrupt the seven appearances and two hidden places of Jinding Temple.

According to chess theory, this belongs to the star position of the starting hand. The upper position of the chessboard is high, and the focus is on taking advantage of the situation, which is conducive to enclosing the empty space.

Unintentionally found Liu Zong of the Daquan Dynasty, and his previous initiative to show his goodwill to Pushan Yuncaotang, letting go of Xiao Longqiu Yuanying for enshrinement, and Jindan Daiyuan, and at the same time asking Jiang Shangzhen to help, making both parties more precious about their lives, and even misunderstood. I thought I was on the line with Yu Guizong.

These are all small opening hands in chess theory, suitable for taking land.

The star or the small eye, both of which actually fit the grass belly with golden horns and silver edges, what chess players want in the end is to go first and then fight for the front.

The chief enshrinement of Lu Ying in the Jinding Temple is a piece of Chen Ping'an's strategy of leaving according to fate and using it when he comes. According to the general chess theory, it can be said that we meet on a narrow road and fight hand to hand, with murderous intentions revealed. It was just used by Chen Pingan to hide it, so when Chen Pingan was with Lu Ying, he only asked for it and didn't have to do anything. When needed, he would naturally find Lu Ying. As long as Lu Ying doesn't lose his mind and seek death, Chen Ping can use it to make a living on the chessboard.

However, the Daquan Yao family needs Chen Ping'an to make some decisions about Tongyezhou, the ruins of the Luo Shanxia Sect in the future. The only exception is Yao Xianzhi next to him.

For the rest, friendship is friendship, and friends are friends. Interests belong to interests, and buying and selling is buying and selling. Some friendships can actually make business better, or even make the friendship better. However, when Chen Ping'an treats Daquan Yao family, he still hopes that both parties can be more pure. Of course, if Emperor Daquan is Yao Xianzhi, not the woman Yao Jinzhi, even if it is Yao Lingzhi, , and I can speak two words again. At that time, Chen Ping'an was ignorant and ignorant, and did not know how powerful Yao Jinzhi was. In fact, he later traveled further across the world, especially when he arrived at the wine table at the Great Wall of Jianqi. When the second shopkeeper drank enough, he became more and more frightened. .

Chen Pingan reached out and flicked his sleeves, as if breaking up the chess game, and hesitated for a moment, "Xianzhi, Liu Cong or Liu Mao, which one can I see?"

Yao Xianzhi said: "Liu Cong can't be seen. Without His Majesty's permission, my sister can't go to the water prison. But as for that Longzhou Taoist, I will lead the way. You can see her at will."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then we will go and meet His Highness the Third Prince who has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and becoming a god."

Yao Xianzhi shook the wine bottle and said, "Are you going now?"

Chen Ping'an glanced at the sky and said, "Let's talk about it at night."

Yao Xianzhi asked curiously: "Is there something special about mountains?"

Chen Ping'an said angrily: "It's easy to bump into ghosts when walking at night. Is this considered a good idea?"

Yao Xianzhi lifted the wine pot.

Chen Ping'an stood up and started walking in six steps.

In fact, Chen Ping'an is far from as relaxed as he seems.

After worrying about the three dreams in the Creation Cave, he asked about the situation in his "first dream" after waking up. In fact, he was already in the situation without knowing it, and Daquan Yao was the key.

For example, the worst outcome would be if Cui Han had come into contact with the swordsman Fei Ran, and Fei Ran had hidden foreshadowing and back-ups in Mirage City, which would be even more troublesome and unsolvable.

For example, Daquan Empress Yao Jinzhi had personal contact with Fei Ran, and even had a secret covenant that was recorded in a military account.

So the great reputation of the Daquan Dynasty and the Yao family today is the disrepute of the closed disciples of the literary sage lineage in the future, and no one can argue with them.

Shen Guogong, Gao Shizhen, the two vassal kings, or any of the "hermit masters" who are still dormant, may become a certain variable, become a variable for Chen Pingan, and then be evolved into the whole line of literary saints by the heart. variable.

Once Cui Chan chooses to play chess with others, what can't he do? Cui Chan's so-called Dao protector helps sharpen his Dao heart, so who is willing to take the initiative to come to the second time?

Probably in Cui Chan's words, with this level of concern, this kind of not-so-complicated chess game can't be passed or broken? How did you, Chen Pingan, become a closed disciple of the literary sage?

Why don't you ask yourself, dammit Xihu, is there someone like you who is a big brother in the world?

Mr.'s dedication is in harmony with Sanzhou Mountains and Rivers.

Senior brother Cui Chan's plan saved the world for Haoran.

The senior brother drew swords from left and right, and the light of the sword froze the world.

All of these, Chen Pingan, as the "most idle" little junior, after he appeared in the peaceful world of Haoran Tianxia, ​​all the extra cultural lingering shades he enjoyed will affect the entire cultural context because of Chen Pingan's carelessness. , fell into the mud again, even if there is no doubt at the Confucian Temple, but at the top of the mountain, it is destined to be questioned. Chen Ping's case was even more unbearable.

Chen Pingan absolutely cannot allow himself to be dark under the lights again.

In fact, Chen Pingan noticed Yao Lingzhi's subtle change of mood, and didn't point it out in person.

Therefore, Yaoling's flying sword sending a message to the southern border is definitely not easy.

And the reason why Chen Pingan didn't stop the Goddess of Buried River from revealing her cultural identity was actually a temptation.

On the contrary, Yao Lingzhi was even more worried. He could hide it, but he didn't hide it well. What does this mean? It means that Yao Lingzhi, and maybe even Yao Jinzhi, have a secret in their hearts, which is bigger than the latest identity of Chen Pingan, a closed disciple of Wen Sheng's line.

Cui Chen's questioning will put Chen Pingan in a desperate situation, but he will never really put Chen Pingan in a dead end.

Therefore, during the trip to Tongyezhou, there will be Jiang Shangzhen, a self-cultivator from Mount Taiping.

If Chen Pingan arrived at Tongye Island, he would still ignore him and go directly to Taiping Mountain, Jinhuang Mansion, Buried River Biyou Palace and Daquan Mirage City.

Then Wan Yao Zong Han Jiangshu, Immortal Han Yushu, Jinding Mountain and Water Formation's Astronomical Phenomena, Buried River Water God Empress, Old General Yao, Lu Ying, Yao Lingzhi, will all miss it.

While walking the pile, Chen Ping was distracted and muttered to himself, "Everything can be refined, and everything can be solved."

Yao Xianzhi looked at Mr. Chen who was practicing boxing, and felt that it was a pity that Mr. Chen, who is facing the wind in Yushu, should not be his brother-in-law.

————

In the Daquan Dynasty, Gao Shizhen, the highest seniority of the state, is now very old and dying.

After going to a small Taoist temple, a carriage drove out of Mirage City and went to Tiangong Temple outside the city.

At dusk, dark clouds covered the carriage, and when the carriage arrived outside the gate of the ancient temple, there were signs of rain.

The old housekeeper acted as a groom, carrying an oil-paper umbrella on his back, and helped the old man get out of the car.

Over the years, the Duke of the State would come here to copy the scriptures every few months and listen to the eminent monks' teachings.

Yao Jinzhi once prayed for rain here when he was a queen empress.

As for the old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, his name is Pei Wenyue. He used to be Gao Shuyi's boxing master, and according to Oizumi's intelligence records, he was a hidden martial artist of golden body.

There were no monks to receive them along the way, because this was the rule set by the old man. When he entered the temple to burn incense and copy scriptures, he was just a pilgrim.

Gao Shizhen staggered forward, and asked with a smile: "Is it because her heart is sincere, or the late emperor did it on purpose, so that she can find a reason to go out to relax?"

The old butler said, "All of them."

Gao Shizhen stretched out his finger and nodded to the housekeeper, "Old Pei, I have known you for many years, and I realized that you haven't done a single wrong thing or said a single wrong word. How did you do it?"

The old housekeeper said: "Do less and talk less, only do what has to be done, and only say what should be said."

The old man said with emotion: "If I listened to your advice back then, I couldn't help but let him go out early alone, or let you follow secretly, wouldn't it be better?"

The old butler did not answer the question.

Two old people settled down in a Zen room, the sky was dark, the old housekeeper lit the lamp, rubbed the ink and spread the paper.

Gao Shizhen's wrist trembled today, and he wrote a big sick word on the paper.

Disease, why is it a C? C, heart. Too much worry is easy to get sick.

Gao Shizhen looked at the big characters and said: "You once said that no matter how great a person's luck is, he can't compare to having late blessings. Our old general Yao who has been ill for many years but never died is a man with great late blessings." man."

The old housekeeper answered irrelevant questions, turned his head to look out of the window, and said softly, "Master, it's raining."

Gao Shizhen laughed, "Compared to the above, the deficiency is more than the following. Compared with those two vassal kings, I am already considered a person with late blessings. As long as I close my eyes, I will immediately have a beautiful posthumous title."

A Liu Cong who is only half a step away from getting what he wants, and a Liu Mao who has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism for twenty years.

Gao Shizhen put down the chicken spacer pen that was just dipped in ink in his hand, and turned his head to look out the window.

There were two lanterns hanging outside the house, and a sudden rainstorm, the raindrops were as big as soybeans, made the lanterns shake vigorously, like two poor people who couldn't go into the house to hide from the rain, couldn't sleep at night, so they had to complain to each other over there.

Gao Shizhen said softly: "I was once a person who worried about too much rain and snow. I was not a kid from a rich family who only cared about admiring the scenery. I remember when Shu Yi first remembered, I finished the snowball fight with my children. I told him that the glazed wonderland of our mirage city is only in the eyes of rich and wealthy families like us. The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and winter clothes are thin. The poor families are actually suffering a lot."

The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said bluntly: "If a truth is not explained thoroughly, it means that it is not explained. It is even better not to say it at all."

Gao Shizhen was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Yes."

It was raining heavily outside the window.

"The strong are good at approval, the weak are good at denying."

Gao Shi really laughed, "Lao Pei, you always cherish your words like gold, but this sentence is something you rarely say more than once. You have said it to me and to Shuyi. So who was it first? Said?"

The old butler sat quietly on a chair nearby and said: "I have a close friend from my hometown. He is a swordsman who doesn't like to talk sense. Occasionally, when he is drunk, he can say a few rare serious words, so he is relatively It’s memorable.”

"Forgetting friends? Who is older?"

When the old housekeeper spoke, he still did not forget his identity and responsibilities. He stood up, picked the lamp with two fingers, slightly picked the wick, and removed the embers to make the light brighter. Then he said slowly: "Me."

————

Tonight in Mirage City, there are lanterns on the streets, people come and go like daytime, the bridges and rivers are blue in the daytime, and countless lights are reflected in the water, as if countless stars are born out of thin air.

Chen Pingan followed Yao Xianzhi while shopping to the small Taoist temple, and walked slowly along the waterfront street. Chen Pingan stared at the lights in the water, and then looked up at the north. He heard that the night sky in the middle of Aquarius Continent was often as bright as a year old. daytime.
