Sword of Coming

Seeing that the green-clothed man from a foreign country seemed to be moved, the young girl wanted to follow the young man to another city, and immediately said angrily to the young man, "Are you still saying that first come first come first?"

I never thought that the young man was short-tempered, so he scolded directly: "Qin Zidu, you cunning maidservant! Why did you talk to me, why don't you hurry up and slap three big mouths yourself?"

The girl who was called by her name was stunned, and she was scolded as a sly maid in public, perhaps because she was afraid of the other party's identity, she didn't retaliate, but her eyes were lowered, and she was about to cry, and took out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes.

The young man was triumphant, and continued to persuade Chen Pingan to follow him to leave Entry City, "Mr. Chen, the makeup pile is too greasy and not elegant enough. My city lord knows that you don't like this kind of Yingying Yanyan, mad bees, waves and butterflies, and fragrant wind." It's like asking a sword, how decent is it. So Mr. Chen followed me and left quickly. My city lord has already arranged a banquet to welcome Mr. Chen, and also prepared an extra gift as a reward for making up Yinshui. "

Chen Ping smiled and said, "You shouldn't have said that about Miss Biyu."

The reason why he didn't immediately agree to the young man's invitation was because Chen Pingan still wanted to spend more time in this entry city, and he needed to thank the bearded man, and the man from the weapon shop, who had walked to the door earlier, seemed to be keeping an eye on his back The "Night Tour", and because of the local delicacies such as Tongling ginger and Tangshan lotus root, in fact, Chen Ping'an has already had some guesses about the identity of the shopkeeper, and it is very likely that Bai Ye went to the mountain to visit immortals in his early years. That Mr. Wusong I met when I was in the middle of the night. So Chen Pingan planned to ask this Du Xiucai for a picture of a buffalo. Whether it will be successful or not, we will discuss it later. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as a thread starts, it will be much easier.

When the young man heard Chen Pingan call Qin Zidu "Bi Yu" and revealed her nickname, the young man was obviously a little surprised, and then he laughed and said: "I never thought that Mr. Chen would have known the roots of this lowly servant girl, so Speaking of which, Mr. Chen must have read "Honghui Pavilion Essay", "Rouge Chronicle" and "Xiangyan Series". Mr. Chen looked at him with admiration, and Dudu had more eyes. Li Shilang clearly misunderstood Mr. Chen, and mistakenly regarded Mr. Chen as those rigid and pedantic people."

Chen Pingan immediately explained with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously, I just heard someone mention it by chance, and I haven't actually read the three books."

When the young man mentioned the last book, Chen Ping'an instantly made a sword formula, and at the same time used his sword energy to silence the young man's voice, so as not to be heard by Pei Qian and Xiaomi Li. The old cook buys books indiscriminately, which is really harmful.

Now that the Lord Feng and the fortune-telling booth were gone, and Shao Baojuan had left, Pei Qian let the millet grains stay in the basket, put away the long stick, picked up the walking stick, carried the basket again, and stood quietly. Beside Chen Ping'an, Pei Qian's eyes were mostly on the girl named Qin Zidu. This girl must have spent a lot of thought before going out. She was wearing a purple dress, purple flowers in her hair, and a small purple sachet on her belt. , embroidered with the four characters "Rouge Shenfu". The girl's make-up is particularly delicate, with a small golden dimple, slightly yellowish sandalwood musk, and a radiant face. It is especially rare that this girl has applied a white makeup on each side of her temples, making the girl's face that was originally round and round immediately look beautiful. Slender.

Pei Qian was dumbfounded. If a girl showed off a similar makeup every time she went out, how much time would she have spent in her own house? Don't you think it's troublesome?

Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't stop him, or remind the young man to be careful, instead he moved away instantly, a few steps away from the young man who had nothing to hide, so as not to be hurt by Chi Yu.

Sure enough, the girl suddenly raised her head, quickly approached, grabbed the boy's ear with one hand, and pulled hard, causing the boy to tilt his head. Cursing to make you a cheap maidservant and making you a crafty maidservant. The young man was also unwilling to suffer, and he didn't know how to be sympathetic, so he grabbed the girl's bun with his backhand. The two faces looked like a pair of golden boys and girls of the same age, and soon hugged each other, entangled They twisted and beat each other, and even used elbows and knees to hit each other, which was very frivolous.

Seeing this scene was an eye-opener for Xiaomi Li, these local people are very fierce, have a bad temper, and scratch their faces when they disagree with each other.

Pei Qian glanced at Master, and Chen Pingan shook his head lightly, signaling her not to try to persuade her to fight. The boy and girl wrestling together fell to the ground together as if they were hit from the sky. In the end, the boy kicked the girl's face. With the crotch, the two sides finally slid backwards together. Fortunately, both sides seemed to be inexperienced in boxing and kicking skills, and there was not much movement. The girl staggered up and slapped the dust on her body. After grinning and shaking his teeth, he had to bend over.

When Pei Qian saw the young girl, she plucked her eyebrows and then drew her eyebrows. At this moment, the young man kicked one of her eyebrows off, and her delicate peach-colored makeup earlier turned into a mess. A painted face, the hairpin on her head The purple flowers were also crushed by the boy and scattered on the ground. Now the girl standing on the street looked a little funny.

And the little brocade bag embroidered with "Rouge Shenfu" was also untied during the twisting process, and a copper-green chafer, as big as an elm pod, ran out. It was spotted by the young man when he got up, and quietly One foot under the boot. The girl named Biyu soon found out that she had lost a green golden cicada that was used to raise pink and charming people. She was so anxious that she pointed at the young man and threatened: "Long Bin, give me back the green golden cicada!"

Chen Pingan sighed, it seemed that a chance had passed him by.

In the Taiping Mountain of Tongyezhou, monk Dai Yuan, who was enshrined by the Yu Dynasty, once gave Chen Pingan an apology. The ink ingot was called "Moon Pine Taoist Ink", but it was just given away to Chen Pingan. It is said that every time the ink ingot was under the moon, there was a little Taoist who walked like a fly, claiming to be the messenger of the black pine and the courtier of Mojing. Later, when Chen Pingan asked Cui Dongshan, he found out that the little Taoist who has become a master of ancient ink seems to be called "Long Bin". Rare and ancient ink ingots are used as their own "immortal ferry", wandering erratically, and their whereabouts are erratic. If there is no chance, even if the immortals get the ink, it is difficult to find traces. "Grasshopper" silver worm is almost the same way. And each of the "Ferry" ink ingots that Long Bin stopped at has a literary spirit, so even Cui Dongshan was a little bit sorry at the time, and Chen Pingan was naturally more distressed, because it would be the best if it was given to Xiao Nuanshu. .

Opportunities are everywhere on the ferry, but there are also traps everywhere.

"It's a broken thing, who wants it too much, I reward you." The boy sneered, raised his foot, then picked up the green golden cicada with his toes, and kicked it towards the girl. The latter caught it with both hands, and carefully put it into the kit. Tie the knot.

The girl asked: "What did the Sword Immortal say? Did he write the "Sexual Evil" without any mistakes and then was sent out of the country, or from today onwards, he and I entered the city to see each other as enemies?"

Chen Pingan said to her: "I don't write anything, I just want to hang out here for a few days, and your city lord will drive people away if he wants to. Li Shilang is reckless, and it doesn't matter if I hate the bandits, but I don't see it in the entry city. "

The girl frowned and said: "The bad guest comes to the door, he doesn't know what to do, it's annoying."

She smiled suddenly, "Young and energetic, but she is a sword fairy with a lot of spirit."

If there is an edict, she listened attentively, and then said: "The deputy city lord just heard that the sword fairy is here, and asked me to send a message to the sword fairy. You can just visit the entry city without worry, but there is only a three-day deadline. After three days, if the sword fairy Xian can't find a way to go to other cities, so it's no wonder that we enter the city as usual."

Just as the young man was about to speak, she stomped her feet and said angrily: "Long Bin, this is the decision of my city lord and deputy lord, I advise you not to worry too much! Otherwise, the two cities will turn against each other, and be careful that you don't even have the remaining 'events'." ’ You can’t keep your title.”

Chen Pingan didn't want to embarrass the teenagers around him, and said with a smile: "You and I will meet here in four days."

The young man nodded and agreed to the matter, but the scratches on his face were still clear, the young man was angrily, and Qin Zi, who was born in Rouge Shenfu, both sneered and said: "Let's wait and see, sooner or later, I will gather an army , head straight to your Rouge Cave and Bone Tomb."

A woman with bright make-up and red sleeves adds fragrance, and a pair of plain hands studying ink is undoubtedly a scholarly affair, but for this Long Bin, who is officially worshiped as the governor of Songyan and the prefect of Xuanxiang, there is indeed a bit of greatness. mean to fight.

Qin Zi snorted, "Speaking nonsense, being gentle and sweeping the floor, a shameless thing!"

The young man was too lazy to entangle with this long-haired and short-sighted aunt, and was about to leave the entry city. Chen Pingan suddenly reached out and grabbed the young man's arm, and said with a smile, "I forgot to ask Mr. Ping Zhangshi, what city are you from? If four days later, Ping An Mr. Zhang Shi accidentally delayed the matter, so I took the initiative to visit the house as a guest."

The young man kept complaining, "It hurts, it hurts, just talk when you talk, why is Mr. Chen dragging me?"

Chen Pingan smiled sincerely: "Stained with literary spirit."

The boy lowered his head and glanced at his sleeve. The place where his arm was held by the sword fairy was full of colors, like rivers and rivers entering the sea, gradually condensing together. He said with a sad face, "There is not much left in the family, and Mr. Chen searched for it. Let's go, my bleak situation, isn't it because Wang Xiaoer's new year is not as good as every year?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "When I leave the ferry, I will reward Lord Pingzhang from afar."

As soon as the boy's eyes lit up, he no longer deliberately detained the miraculous scene on his sleeve, "Really?!"

It's just that before the young man and Chen Pingan had more plans, the young man staggered back, his figure dissipated, and went to another city, he could only hurriedly say a word to Chen Pingan, like a prophecy, "cocks crow in the sky, dogs bark in the clouds" .

Chicken City? Is it too careless to choose a name? Wouldn't it sound better if it were "Tao City"? It is estimated that the name is too big, inappropriate?

Chen Pingan shook his sleeves, and the tip of his right finger condensed a grain of multicolored light, which was full of literary spirit, like flowers growing on his fingertips, and was finally collected by Chen Pingan in his sleeve.

Qin Zi didn't pay much attention to this. In the entry city, the passers-by earned their own opportunities based on their abilities, so it was nothing surprising. It's just that she had complex eyes on Pei Qian, who had a smooth forehead and a ball-shaped hair, and finally she couldn't hold back, and persuaded: "Little girl, a gentleman dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a self-pleasing appearance. If you can take care of it, She is also a woman with good looks, why is she so perfunctory? Look at this sword fairy, since he knows my nickname and is also an expert in boudoir affairs, he won't teach you? You don't blame him ?”

When Pei Qian went out to travel, she was always dressed neatly, without any makeup, and her hair was even more simple. Now she said with a deadpan expression: "No need, be neat, it doesn't get in the way."

That Qin Zi was heartbroken and said: "It's not a hindrance? Why is it not a hindrance? Everyone has a love of beauty. Isn't it natural for a woman to make herself more beautiful?"

Pei Qian looked at the girl in front of her with miserable makeup, held back her laughter, shook her head and said nothing.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "The ancients said that the gentleness of heaven and earth is concentrated in the women's boudoir. In the world, when women are free, it is true that all women should wear light makeup. Miss Biyu just said that women are the ones who please themselves. Since the world is the most talented person, no matter what women do Heavy makeup and light application, as long as it is decent, it will be the most suitable for it.”

Half of the words are Chen Ping's sincere words, as long as Pei Qian wants to deal with that rouge and gouache, don't be so colorful, of course light makeup is fine. At Pei Qian's age, after all, she is no longer that black charcoal girl, so she really should dress herself up well. Of course, it doesn't matter if Pei Qian doesn't like it and likes to be naked. As for the remaining half of the words, of course, they were kind words between Chen Pingan and the so-called Empress Qin of the Rouge God's Mansion in the book.

Qin Zi was very surprised. He no longer had the arrogant and cold attitude he had when he first met him. He gave Chen Pingan a blessing, and changed his name for the first time. He said with a smile, "Mr. Chen's words are decent and suitable Heart, so that people will forget the customs. Then this servant will wish Mr. Chen a smooth income in the next three days."

Chen Pingan hugged her fist and thanked her.

Qin Zidu asked: "Did Mr. Chen ever carry rouge and gouache with him?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "No."

Clearly another opportunity was missed.

She nodded with a smile, with a little regret, then her figure became blurred, and finally turned into colorful colors. For a while, the whole street was fragrant, and the colorful colors rose like a fairy, and then went in all directions in a flash, without any clues Leave it to Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "We'll change places in four days, we might be able to eat stinky tofu."

Pei Qian smiled knowingly, looking forward to it. Makeup and makeup are too cumbersome, Pei Qian only thinks that it will hinder punching, so she is really not interested. However, sister Shirou in Qilong Lane likes these very much. I don't know if there is a chance in three days to bring some of them back to this entry city.

Millet Millet was standing in the basket, and when she heard about the stinky tofu, she immediately became greedy and wiped her mouth quickly. I didn't understand anything, and I didn't remember anything, just this stinky tofu, which made the little girl in black greedy and missed it endlessly.

Chen Ping moved a little bit, came to the cotton cloth stall, squatted down, shifted his eyes constantly, picked out the objects he wanted, and finally chose a small pocket bow the size of a palm, and asked the bearded man with a hundred thousand armored soldiers: " How do you sell this bow?"

Shao Baojuan had already answered the question of Taoist Qingniu for the small gold-plated water tank in front of the stall, so he had to go.

On the cotton cloth, there is still a small bundle of dead plum branches and a small porcelain pot of narcissus.

One of the folded scrolls has a small sticker on the outside, with beautiful words, "teach women in the world how to dress up".

An iron-cast Three Monkeys Fishing Moon Flower Vessel. A piece of ebony paperweight, "Refused to follow the wind, mysterious and silent. An adult is self-righteous, keep it quiet." Signed with two characters, "Shu Ye".

Finally, there is the small bow placed in the corner, which is simple in shape and exquisite in pocket size, like a plaything for children. The inscription is subtle and difficult to detect, "Yunmeng Changsong".

The curly bearded man saw this man pick and choose, but only picked this little bow, with a helpless expression, he shook his head and said, "It's not easy to sell, but it's not easy for you to buy, so you have to gather a few books, at least three, and give them to me." After reading it, Young Master will exchange one of the books. As for the others, I won’t say more.”

Chen Pingan nodded, with an idea in his mind, he turned his head to look at the scroll, and asked, "How to sell this painting? Or barter?"

The bearded man nodded and smiled and said: "Young master is smart, I really need to barter for business at this stall, but the things I need are not in the entry city, not to mention the long journey, and the guards are strict. You still don't give up, so I went to find In one place, at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, there is a relic of Tianbao engraved on the cliff. If you can go to that cool world, by the side of the green jade pond, and get back a statue of a beautiful woman, you can exchange the picture scroll. At that time, you will have a Fu Yuan, you have taken the initiative to come to see the Young Master."

Chen Pingan asked: "In this way, this picture scroll and the cool world of Tiantianbao ruins are all illusory things, and the next fate will be real?"

What I have seen and heard in the entry city today, except for Shao Baojuan and Shen Xiaokan, although they are all living gods, they will still be divided into three or six or nine grades, depending on the level of their "self-knowledge". Like the bearded man in front of me, the former Qingniu Taoist priest, and Du Xiucai who misses his hometown of Tongling ginger and Chuzhou sour plum soup in the nearby weapon shop, they are obviously more "alive" and act more "spontaneously" for sex".

The curly bearded man grinned, and answered irrelevantly: "If you are more ruthless, and have enough ability to visit immortals and explore seclusion, you can move all the white jade statues of those concubines and wombs out of the cool world, then it will be really a blessing."

Pei Qian suddenly gathered his voice and said: "Master, I seem to have seen this in a book. If the record is true, the northern foot of Lishan Mountain is easy to find, but Tianbaoya carving is hard to find, but we just need to find a place at random. The woodcutter and shepherd boy here seem to be able to help us lead the way. When someone writes the word "Summer" in hand, the cave can open the stone door. It is said that there is a bath inside, carved with green jade as the pool of water, sparkling, like running water. Only in the cave The sight of the jade man is too... more fragrant and charming, when the time comes, Master will enter alone, and I will just wait outside with the millet grains."

Chen Ping angrily said with a smile: "You even know this? Which miscellaneous book did you read the secrets and anecdotes from?"

Pei Qian blinked, "Sister Zaixi said it. Back then in Jinjiazhou, after every war ended, she liked to tell me these strange stories. I just listened to them casually. I asked Sister Zaixi Chi How big, so many green jades, how much can they sell for immortal money, sister Zaixi still called me a money fan."

Seeing that Chen Pingan was staring at the ebony paperweight again, the man took the initiative to say: "Young master, I will exchange it for a complete piano score."

Chen Pingan knew in his heart that it was undoubtedly the "Guangling Stopping Rest", clasped his fists and said, "Thank you senior for the chat with Feng Jun earlier, this junior will go to the city to find books."

The curly bearded man just nodded his head and said with a smile, "My lord has taken in a good apprentice."

Chen Ping left the stall with Pei Qian and millet grains, and went to the weapon shop first. The shop owner was sitting behind the counter, chewing tender lotus root and white ginger. He was not surprised to see Chen Pingan who had gone and returned. , do not ask questions.

Chen Pingan made a bow and said, "My respects to Mr. Wusong."

The man asked: "Do you have any fame?"

Chen Pingan stood up and replied respectfully: "The younger generation does not have the honor of the imperial examination, but there are students, and they are the second place."

The man smiled a little, and asked proactively: "Do you want the Huaxun sticker that was previously completed by the Lord Shao?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "Mr. Wusong will definitely keep the Huaxun post. This junior just wants to have the audacity to ask Mr. Wusong for a picture of a buffalo."

The man was slightly surprised, "On the ferry, the rules are the rules, and there are no exceptions. Now that I know that I am Du Xiucai, and I know that I can paint, then the master's work is unique, and Wu Song's new works are popular all over the world. What is "new writing" , probably clear? Forget it, this matter may be a bit embarrassing for you, you just need to mention the title of a poem I wrote in my life. Since the boy can get a piece of the Taibai Immortal Sword from Bai Ye, I believe it is not difficult to know about it. .”

Chen Pingan looked embarrassed.

Taibai Jianjian was inexplicably obtained at the Great Wall of Sword Qi. For Mr. Wusong, who was able to reciprocate with Bai Ye's poems, Chen Pingan only knew the name and a rough outline of his life experience. He didn't know the poems at all. The reason why he knew Mr. Wusong was mainly due to Du Xiucai's status as a "refiner". In short, Chen Pingan remembered the poem written by Bai Ye, but he didn't know a single word of what this Mr. Wu Song had written.

In the basket, helping the good guy Shanzhu to peck the rice hard, the millet was even more embarrassed, so he had to scratch his face.

Then Du Xiucai smiled, "Since the long sword was still there just now, but it just happened not to be with him on this trip back, so let's not talk about chance, boy, don't think too much about it."

The man sighed, the fact that Bai Ye helped Yaozhou with his sword alone was really sad. Sure enough, this is the farewell, the peach blossom spring is deep.

Chen Pingan was a little regretful, and didn't dare to force the opportunity, so he had to leave with his hands clasped in fists, remembering something, and asked: "Mr. Wu Song, can you drink?"

The man smiled and said nothing.

Chen Pingan then took out two pots of Xianjia brewed rice from the things within easy reach, put them on the counter, clasped his fists together again, and smiled brightly, "Beyond Wusong Mountain, I have met you, sir, and I have the courage to give you wine, my honor."

The man looked at the back of the young man in green shirt as he crossed the threshold, reached for a jug of wine, nodded, he was a young man who could spread the world, so he shouted: "Boy, if you are not busy, you might as well take the initiative to pay a visit to the old man." gentlemen."

Chen Ping turned around immediately, walked quickly back to the shop, and took out two jugs of wine.

Du Xiucai was stunned, "What for?"

Chen Pingan asked softly: "May I ask if the "Hua Crane Inscription", the ancestor of the big characters, was written by Mr. Bu Weng?"

Du Xiucai stretched out his hands, held down two jugs of new wine, smiled and said nothing.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to leave again, and went to various bookstores in the entry city, and finally found "Family Language", "Lu Lan" and "Yunqi Essays" in the Zibu Bookstore, Daozangshudian, and Bielu Bookstore respectively. ", including the book "Family Language", Chen Pingan followed the scattered memories, at first he went to a bookstore of the Ministry of Economics, and asked no results. In the end, I bought this book at the Zibu bookstore, and after confirming that there was a record of the bow in it, I was relieved. It turned out that according to the catalog of historical annals in the entry city, the status of this book has dropped from "Jingbu" to "Zibu", but it is not like Haoran Tianxia, ​​​​it has been regarded as a fake book. As for "Lv Lan", it was not sold in a bookstore, which made Chen Pingan make an extra trip in vain.

It was only when it was time to check out that Chen Pingan found out that the price of books in the bookstore in the entry city is indeed not expensive, but the fairy money is completely useless, not to mention the snowflake money, and the grain rain money is meaningless, you have to use the monks on the mountain The gold, silver, and copper coins that were regarded as cumbersome, thanks to Pei Qian and Mi Li each having a piggy bank, Mi Li even volunteered to stop Pei Qian and pay the bill first, the little girl who finally made a miracle laughed, Shaking his head and shaking his head, he was so happy that he hurriedly took out a big gold ingot from his private money, and handed it to the good man, the mountain master.

Standing in the basket, finally coughed lightly, Pei Qian smiled and nodded, indicating that he would record it in the credit book.

But it cost less than two taels of silver to buy three books, enough for Chen Pingan to go to the bearded man to exchange for a small bow, but just give one of them randomly, and he can exchange for a chance.

But Chen Pingan continued to look for other bookstores, and finally stepped into the threshold of a famous shop. The bookstore rules in the entry city, ask if there are any books, and answer all questions, but if there are no books in the shop, once the customer asks, it will be answered There is absolutely no answer, and I will be blindsided. In this famous shop, Chen Pingan failed to buy the book, but he still spent a sum of "unjust money", a total of three taels of silver, to buy a few ancient books with new ink stains, most of which were about the famous book with ten questions and twenty questions. It’s just that there are some records in some books, which are far more detailed and profound than Haoran Tianxia. Although none of these books can be taken away on the ferry, but during this trip, even if Chen Pingan just flipped through the books, the knowledge in the books is in the end. True. As for the famous debating skills, and the Buddhist Yinming study, Chen Pingan began to pay attention to it very early on, and studied it a lot.

At that time, the shopkeeper of the famous bookstore was a young man with an elegant appearance. Xiao Xiao was solemn, hearty and clear, and very immortal. He first glanced at Pei Qian, then turned his head and asked Chen Pingan with a smile: "Boy, what are you doing?" Do you want to build a city by yourself and become that city lord? You only need to exchange one thing, and I can not break the rules and help you open up a new city. After that, there will be many benefits, and you will not lose to that Shao Baojuan."

Chen Ping bowed to this person and apologized: "Mr. is very kind, but the sword gourd raised in Haoliang is a relic of half an old man in my hometown. I really can't do business with him, let alone a business relationship. The boy has received a lot of favors from famous scholars." Well, in the first place, even if it is directly donated to Mr., it is fine."

A Haoliang was presented to Chen Pingan by the sword fairy Mi Hu. Chen Pingan confiscated it at the first time. He still hoped that Mi Yu, who had left the Great Wall of Sword Qi, could keep it. However, Mi Yu was unwilling to do so, so Chen Pingan had to give it to Chen Pingan in the end. Pei Qian, let this disciple of Kaishan take care of it.

The young shopkeeper looked at Chen Ping'an, and suddenly clapped his hands and smiled, "What's so difficult about the knowledge of the world? It's not difficult at all, but the word "sincerity" is the only difficulty. Today, the sincerity of the younger generations has greatly comforted my heart. So I don’t charge any money. I would like to give you a few words. The book I’m looking for isn’t really a book anymore. It’s just Braille. ", "Shoubai Lun" under the Taoist entry, I remember it is the Zhishu Department, because it contains more content than the Daozang Department."

Chen Pingan thanked him and left. Sure enough, he bought the annals of "Shou Bai Lun" in the first shop after entering the city. However, Chen Pingan hesitated for a while, and still walked a lot of wrong roads. I wasted money, went back to Dao Bookstore, and bought an extra book.

On the way, Zhou Mili put his palm up to cover his mouth, and whispered to Pei Qian, "It's strange that a store can hold so many books, and every shopkeeper just randomly picks out a book that we want."

Pei Qian said with a smile: "In the small world, it's what you want."

Zhou Mili suddenly realized, "Sure enough, I guessed it right."

While Chen Ping was looking for books, Du Xiucai walked out of the shop, came to the side of the bearded man, and sighed, "It involves a monk's heart, and the choice between three religions and a hundred schools of thought, that kid's move is very dangerous. If he was not born in a Confucian school In fact, it doesn’t matter if you have a Daoist context, you can choose it at will, anyway, it doesn’t hurt Dao heart at all, even if it hurts, it’s nothing more than reading a few more books afterwards, and it can still be mended.”

The man nodded and said: "So I didn't want to sell this bow to him at first. It would be too unkind to tempt people to buy and sell it. It's just that the kid is too sharp-eyed and very knowledgeable. He squatted there earlier and looked around deliberately. I can’t break the rules and take the initiative to tell him that this bow is too hot.”

Du Xiucai smiled and said: "But if this business is really done, you will be able to completely let go of the shackles, and you don't have to rely on some hundred thousand armored soldiers to cut off the head of that person to get out of trouble. After all, it is a good thing. We alone A painting is in a prison, waiting here for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and the repeated scenes year after year, day after day, are really tiring, and it makes me sick to watch."

The man grinned, "If I have wine to drink, I promise not to vomit a drop."

Du Xiucai smiled and threw out a jug of wine. The bearded man took the jug, smelled the fragrance of the wine, his face was full of intoxication, and then he was very sad, and murmured: "I used to ride a donkey around the rivers and lakes with a sword and a bow. Drink it hard, and now I can't bear to take a sip."

At the famous shop, the young shopkeeper was flipping through the books, as if flipping through the books was like looking at the mountains and rivers. He had a clear view of Chen Pingan's whereabouts in the entry city, nodded with a smile, and said to himself: "The mountain of books is never empty, there is no wrong way. When going down the mountain, never empty-handed. The more you go around, the more you will benefit for life. Shen Xiaokan, Shen Xiaokan, why do you ask three questions? In the night boat, knowing what you know is knowing, what you don’t know is not knowing, this is knowledge.”

Immediately, he was a little puzzled, shook his head, and sighed: "This Shaocheng Lord, does he have any grudges against you? Are you sure you will fall for that bow? So you are determined to tear down a pillar of the Three Religions yourself. In this way, On the way to practice in the future, some chances of Daomen may be hurt."

Because before Chen Ping'an came to this famous store to buy books, Shao Baojuan came here first, spent money and bought all the books related to that famous allusion in one go, all of them, hundreds of them. So Chen Pingan came here to buy books first. In fact, it was the right choice at first, but was preempted by Shao Baojuan who pretended to leave Entry City.

He grabbed the shopkeeper and thought about it, but it was still rare for him to walk out of the shop, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Lu, didn't he get hurt by me, adding to the snake's footsteps, this kid seems to be getting farther and farther away from the Taoist school, causing you to suffer again for no reason." sword'?"

The young foreigner who just boarded the ship is both a Confucian scholar who needs to be rigorous in his studies, and a swordsman who needs to travel around. So today, should he hand over a classic book from the Department of Confucian Chronicles or a book from the Daoist Store? However, it is quite different. Otherwise, without Shao Baojuan's interference, it would be harmless to hand over a famous book. It's just that this young shopkeeper who was only asking for the word "Hao Liang" before, rather than raising sword gourds, now stood outside the shop door, saying apologetic words, but with a smile on his face.

Chen Pingan and his group returned to the stall of the bearded man. He knelt down, kept one of the books, and took out the other four. Three books were stacked on top of the cotton cloth stall, and one was in his hand. The four books all recorded a story about " Chen Pingan then gave the last Taoist "Shou Bai Lun" with the fewest allusions to the stall owner. Chen Pingan obviously wanted to choose this Taoist book in exchange.

As for the shopkeeper of the famous bookstore, in fact, it is not a plan for Chen Pingan, it is more like pushing the boat with the current, and it still depends on the choice of the punter on where to stop at the ferry. What's more, if there is no reminder from the shopkeeper, Chen Ping estimated that he would have to travel at least half of the entry city to ask the answer. And intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Pingan did not take out the Confucian annals collection.

Just now when Chen Pingan took out the four books, the man was a little relieved at first, but when Chen Pingan handed out the Daozangbu classic, the man glanced at the title of the book, froze on the spot, hesitated, he was not in a hurry to take it Books, with a puzzled face, said: "Young master, hasn't he ever been to a famous bookstore?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "I went, but I couldn't buy the book, it doesn't matter, and I have to thank someone, otherwise it would be embarrassing for me to sell a book from a famous shop. I feel a little sorry for the senior shopkeeper I have admired for a long time."

In the weapon shop not far away, Du Xiucai was drinking wine leisurely behind the counter, with a strange smile, what kind of disciple of the Confucian Temple is he, who can talk like this at a young age?

At least that old man Fu Sheng, who has visited Jigou City twice and also visited Entry City once, will definitely not be able to teach such students.

Only then did the man nod his head, he took the book with confidence, even though he was no longer in the Jianghu, but the morals of the Jianghu still have to be there. The man glanced at the other three books on the ground again, and said with a smile: "Then tell the young master three small things that are not bad manners. First, there is Jingman Shou Liao, and then I get the Chudi bow, so in this item Cheng, my pseudonym is Jing Chu, you can actually call me Zhang San. This little bow on the ground is of high rank, so I would like to congratulate you here."

When the man said this, when Pei Qian heard this, he was immediately in high spirits. He used to read those novels with Sister Bao Ping and Li Huai, and saw this bearded hero with the pseudonym "Zhang San" , and this senior in the rivers and lakes has a donkey to ride! It's just that those books are all official histories and Jianghu romances. Pei Qian and the three of them thought that this bearded man was a fabricated character.

Of course, the man didn't know what the little girl was thinking about, so he just said to himself: "Mrs. Kongtong, who was born as a palace girl in Benmo City, and I have a grudge with a deputy city lord she serves. Feng Jun said earlier that Kongtong Madame is from Dianjingcheng, so of course she deliberately deceived you with words, the Lord Feng probably made a secret agreement with the Lord Shao."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "I went to Niaoju Mountain to reminisce about the past with the old god Feng, and the younger generation already knew about it. It should be that the Lord Shao was afraid that I would leave immediately and rush to Benmo City, which would spoil his good deeds and prevent him from Get a chance from Mrs. Kongtong."

In fact, once Chen Pingan finds that Shao Baojuan, it is not by chance. As for Shao Baojuan, as the lord of a city, he seemed to be very confident in the entry city, why he was so worried about making a move in that city, Chen Pingan didn't know for the time being, it was impossible to guess. Put the cart before the horse? Give up the basics and take the last? What's more, it is only said that the famous scholar has nothing to do, talks about metaphysics, and there are countless analysis of the two characters, all kinds, Chen Pingan is a complete layman to these. The foundation of Benmo City is far more bizarre than Item City, where you can know the righteousness just by hearing it, and you can check the truth with a few glances at the bookstore, so what's the explanation? God knows.

The man continued: "The twelve cities all have their own names. For example, Benmo City is also called the Absurd City. The people and things in the city will only be more absurd than the Chuigong City where the emperors and monarchs of all dynasties gathered together."

After the three things were finished, the man actually didn't need to ask Chen Pingan about the matter to decide the gain or loss of the bow. Because Chen Ping handed out the book itself, which is a certain choice and the answer.

To the surprise of the bearded man, Chen Pingan took out another book, but it was not placed on top of the three stacked cotton books, but placed aside alone.

That Zhang San looked down at the book, then looked up at the little girl in black standing in the basket, and immediately said with a smile: "Then tell me one more thing, the young master is really going to Benmo City, you need to be careful, You can rest assured."

Chen Pingan couldn't stop him, so he had to give up. In fact, he originally wanted to ask Shao Baojuan what kind of city the lord was, otherwise it would be better to ask how to get to Benmo City, then he could ignore Li Shilang's expulsion order from Benmo City. Benmo City wanted to drive people away, but didn't tell them how to leave the city. This is very unjust, there is no such way of hospitality in the world.

The man picked up the small bow, while Chen Pingan picked up the four books on the cotton cloth and put them in his sleeves, and then took the ancient bow that was recorded in the history books that once shot dragons in the garden of clouds and dreams, but it was only a real income. There is nothing hidden in the sleeves.

The man didn't care about this, but had a somewhat appreciative look on his face, walking in the rivers and lakes, how could he be careless. He knelt down, grabbed the two corners of the cotton cloth, wrapped them casually, wrapped them up, held them in his hands, took out a booklet, handed it to Chen Pingan, and said with a smile: "The wish is over, the cage is broken, these items , either you just accept it with confidence, or hand it over to the public entry city, what should I say? If you accept it, this booklet will be useful, and it records the clues of the items sold at the stall."

Chen Pingan took the booklet and the package, and carried the cotton package across his body with incomparable skill.

The bearded man clasped his fists in salute, "Farewell!"

Chen Pingan clasped his fists in return. The same is true for Pei Qian and the millet standing in the basket.
