Sword of Coming

At the junction of Shushui Kingdom and Guyu Kingdom, among the green mountains and green waters, the wind was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly. A man and a woman were walking side by side, hiking towards a mountain temple on the top of the mountain.

A man with a sword on his back, a jade hairpin on his head, a blue shirt, a long coat and cloth shoes. The woman carries a sword case on her back and wears a snow-white robe.

Both people and scenery can be included in the painting.

The name of the mountain is Jingling, and a temple to the mountain god was built about twenty years ago. The temple is not of high rank, and the person enjoying the incense is a mountain god empress who has never been heard of by the local people. It was originally consecrated by a minister of the Ministry of Rites of Shushui State and the abbot. During the ceremony, scholars in prefectures and counties were busy calling relatives to seek the favor of their ancestors at first. Unfortunately, they searched official family history books and local county annals, but could not find out which royal wife "Liu Qian" was in history.

There is a famous Huanghe River flowing nearby. During the rainy season, there is a scene of the Huanghe River rising in spring. The peaceful years after the troubled times are more cherished by people and especially beautiful. Therefore, a wedding banquet was held at the Prince's Mansion on the Huanghe River. The marriage of the River God is a rare event in a century, so everyone from local officials to the people in the market is very happy, just like the Chinese New Year. By the way, the incense at the Jingling Mountain Temple is also a bit better than usual.

The men and women who came to visit the Jingling Mountain Shrine were Chen Ping'an and Ning Yao who had been traveling southward in the wind.

On the way here, Chen Ping'an told Ning Yao about the general situation of the old Jianshui Villa, why Senior Song was willing to give up his ancestral property and move here to live in seclusion, as well as the insider trading with the court of Shushui Kingdom, Liu Qian's true identity, The former Four Evils of Shushui Kingdom mentioned Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal of Songxi Kingdom, and introduced with a smile: ""This hilltop is commonly known as Xin Yi Jian. On the other side of the Huanghe River, there is a book carved on the cliff, with eight characters in vermilion, Ba Shang lived in autumn, and Long Mian was resurrected. The Huanghe master thought it was a good sign, so he built the Huanghe Water Mansion in the water under the cliff. In fact, according to the general rules of landscape, it is not suitable to build a water mansion so close to the mountains. It is easy for the mountains and rivers to conflict with each other. "

Ning Yao asked: "King Huanghe? What's your background?"

Chen Pingan chuckled softly and said: "The real body is a giant catfish. The water of Huanghe River is turbid and the road is close to each other. However, I heard that this river god usually likes to think of himself as a Taoist, likes to talk, and is quite elegant, so he doesn't like the name Huanghe King. , it’s just that the people of the two countries along the Huanghe River still like to call it that, and it’s hard to change.”

Ning Yao said: "If you take a concubine, you will take a concubine. Why does the river god marry a wife?"

Chen Pingan immediately stopped smiling and said nothing more.

When we arrived at the Jingling Mountain Shrine, the scattered pilgrims were mostly scholars, because the Minister of Rites who consecrated this mountain was responsible for the abbot of Shushui Kingdom this year.

Chen Pingan twisted out three sticks of mountain incense. After lighting it, he was naturally different from the lay people who offered incense, prayed for blessings and made wishes. He just kowtowed and bowed, which was not in line with etiquette. Chen Pingan only paid respect to the four directions and the world, but did not pay homage to the Mountain Goddess in the temple. He said in his heart, Then he put it in the incense burner. Ning Yao didn't even light the incense. It's not that Ning Yao looked down upon Liu Qian's identity as a landscape god. After all, Liu Qian, a mountain god temple, definitely couldn't afford Ning Yao's three nods of holding incense, so even if Ning Yao If you are willing, Chen Pingan will stop you.

The painted statue lit up with ripples of light, and a woman in a swaying dress quickly walked out of the golden body of the mountain god. Liu Qian used her own magic to blind the ordinary ladies who came to the temple to make wishes.

Chen Pingan and Ning Yao stood in a secluded place. Liu Qian was in high spirits and saluted with her hands folded. Chen Pingan and Ning Yao returned the salute with clasped fists.

Liu Qian whispered: "Mr. Chen, is this Ning Jianxian of the Great Wall of Sword Qi?"

How would she dare to ask this to an ordinary person? If she asked the wrong person, the woman in front of her would not be named Ning, and the consequences would be disastrous. But on Chen Ping'an's side, Liu Qian still knew what was going on.

Ning Yao smiled and nodded.

I heard Chen Pingan talk about the past between Liu Qian and Song Fengshan before. It was not easy for them to get together.

Liu Qian smiled brightly and said suddenly: "No wonder Mr. Chen is willing to travel thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi to find Miss Ning."

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked: "Senior Song is at home now, right?"

Liu Qian nodded and said: "Last time my grandpa returned home after relaxing in the rivers and lakes, I heard that after Mr. Chen returned to his hometown, he would always be close to the rivers and lakes. He would only stop at the door every time."

Speaking of this, Liu Qian couldn't help but smile. The grandfather who used to be unsmiling is now like an old child. Fengshan drinks in secret and drinks in secret. Every time he pretended to walk to the door, he would deliberately avoid Fengshan. Later, Fengshan deliberately asked if he wanted to send another letter to Luopo Mountain to urge Chen Pingan. The old man blew his beard and glared, begging him to come. Whether love comes or not doesn't matter. However, during this period of time, the old man stopped drinking, as if he was saving up.

Chen Pingan asked: "Sister-in-law just came from Huanghe Water Mansion? Will it delay the business?"

Liu Qian shook her head and said with a smile: "No delay. Jingling has a good relationship with Huanghe. This time the River God is getting married, Fengshan and I went there to help receive the guests. We just heard Mr. Chen's voice, so I went back first. The tit sent a message to Grandpa, and Fengshan had already set off. He went directly to the house to avoid taking a detour and keeping Grandpa waiting."

One of the reasons why Liu Qian chose this place to build the temple was that Song Yushao and the Huanghe Water God were old friends.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll ask my sister-in-law to lead the way."

Liu Qian took the lead to travel far away in the wind, followed by Chen Pingan and Ning Yao. The house was still a hundred miles away from the ancestral temple. After Song Yu washed his hands in a gold basin, he retired to the mountains and forests. For so many years, he occasionally went to the rivers and lakes to relax. I no longer carry a sword, and I won’t go out again through the old almanac.

The three figures fell at the door of the house. Compared with the previous Jianshui Villa, a martial arts holy land in Qingsong County, the house in front of them can be described as shabby. Standing at the door was an old man with white beard and hair, his hands behind his back and his body slightly stooped. Squint and smile.

Chen Pingan twisted his wrist, and a bamboo yellow scabbard appeared in his hand. He raised it high and gently threw it to the old man.

Song Yushao was stunned, stretched out his hand to catch the scabbard, and asked doubtfully: "Boy, how did you get it back? Buy it, borrow it, steal it?"

At the end of the sentence, the old man laughed to himself, "What the hell, didn't this little melon skin get the scabbard back?"

Chen Pingan walked forward quickly and said with a smile: "According to the rules of the world, you can return it as you take it."

Song Yushao was a little worried, "More than 20 years ago, that guy was a Grandmaster of the Far Traveling Realm. In his early years, his scornful demeanor didn't look like a short-lived ghost. His future in martial arts will definitely have to go up. You kid is fine." Bar?"

It can be seen that Chen Ping'an is a little injured at the moment. Could it be that he was injured just to scabbard the sword? It's not cost-effective to do this.

That menacing dragon crossing the river, swinging its head and tail casually, was like waves of waves to the rivers and lakes of dozens of countries, including Shu Shui and Cai Yi.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "His name is Ma Guixian. He is a martial artist in Daduan, China, and a leading general. When I went to ask about boxing, he was the bottleneck of the Nine Realms."

Liu Qian's face turned pale.

Even though she already knew that Chen Ping'an was the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall and one of the ten young people in the world, Liu Qian was still frightened when she heard that he was a bottleneck warrior in the Nine Realms.

Song Yushao clenched the bamboo scabbard in his hand and asked, "Is Wenquan very dangerous?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said softly: "This injury on my body was caused by sparring with others. It has nothing to do with Ma Guoxian's boxing match. It is not dangerous at all."

Song Yushao glared and said, "You are so loud, why don't you just fight with Cao Ci?"

Chen Pingan nodded and blinked, "It was with Cao Ci."

Anyway, I just came here to drink today. Besides, when it comes to persuading people to drink, it’s hard to say who is superior and who is inferior.

Song Yushao choked on his words for a moment, and simply ignored the boy. He did something arrogant, but insisted on saying it out loud in a calm voice. He looked exactly like the old man when he was young. Song Yushao turned around and looked at that guy with a smile. Woman, "Ning Yao?"

Ning Yao cupped his fists and said, "Junior Ning Yao has met Grandpa Song."

Song Yushao returned the salute by cupping his fists, then smiled while stroking his beard, and glanced sideways at someone, "You are such a coward, you are so lucky."

Entering the house together, Liu Qian took out the wine and served a few dishes to accompany the wine. After Ning Yao and Liu Qian toasted with Song Yushao and Chen Pingan respectively, they left the table and let the two of them drink alone.

Song Fengshan is still on the way here, because he is only a seventh-level martial artist and cannot travel far in the wind. Naturally, he is not as good as Liu Qian, his wife who is a mountain god in one place, who comes and goes like the wind.

Song Yushao held the wine bowl in one hand and flexed his fingers with the other, flicking the bamboo yellow scabbard lying on the table, and said with emotion: "You think it's easy and casual, but I know how difficult this is."

Not only was he talking about Ma Guixian, who had defeated Nine Realm Perfection in Boxing, but the old man was also talking about why Chen Ping'an was able to reach this day, come here and sit down to drink.

Chen Pingan raised the wine bowl and said with a smile that he was late. He punished himself with three bowls first and drank three bowls in succession. Then he poured the wine. He lightly bumped the wine bowls with Senior Song, drank them all in one gulp, and then filled the bowls with wine. Bowl, Chen Ping'an picked up a large pair of chopsticks to eat the wine and food, so he had to take his time.

Song Yushao smiled and said: "Why did you fight with Ma Guoxian? You kid can tell me."

This is the real food to accompany wine.

Chen Pingan only briefly explained the process, and it didn't involve a few punches anyway.

Song Yushao drank the wine, wiped his mouth, and said, "Have you been beaten to the point of defeat?"

Chen Ping'an nodded, raised one foot and stepped on the bench, "If he dares to ask about boxing in the future, let him fall again, until he doesn't dare to ask about boxing."

Song Yushao raised his chin, and Chen Pingan started to pretend to be stupid. Song Yushao had to remind him: "You are not allowed to drink a big bowl of wine for such a heavy punch. The bowl at home is small. You drink two bowls first. I mean, of course." Niangtushao, unless you are full, is not intoxicating. Don't be so whiny. Persuading people to drink at the wine table hurts your character. But just eating food without drinking and waiting for others to persuade you to drink will hurt your character even more."

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "When Brother Song comes to the wine table later, senior, tell him this. Let Brother Song learn from me and drink three bowls before sitting down."

Song Yushao smiled and said: "Fengshan was holding back his bad intentions. In the past few years, he had been thinking that if he gave birth to a daughter in the future, she might be someone's father-in-law. Now it's fine, it's completely out of the question. Wait a minute, you can see for yourself Let's do it, I can't bear to leave it alone."

Chen Pingan wiped his face and said, "Looking for a drink."

Song Yushao kicked off his boots, sat cross-legged, his eyes sparkling, and asked with a smile: "We saw a lot of sword immortals on the other side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, right?"

Chen Pingan nodded, "I've seen them all."

After that, Song Yushao didn't ask more about Chen Ping'an's past at the Sword Qi Great Wall, how a young outsider became a hidden official, how he became a real sword cultivator, and how he and Chen Ping'an fought in that great battle. The old man didn't ask who wielded the sword and punched, which sword immortals fought side by side, how many toasts there had been at the wine table, and how many silent farewells there had been on the battlefield.

Chen Ping'an didn't ask why he didn't see old housekeeper Chu and concierge Lao Qi. He just asked about the current situation of Shushui Kingdom. He learned that Wang Yiran, the leader of the martial arts alliance in Hengdao Villa, had become more and more skilled in swordsmanship. After Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal of Songxi Kingdom, he became the second seventh-level martial artist in the world. He broke through the level a few years earlier than Song Fengshan. However, Su Lang is now in seclusion. It is said that he has the hope of reaching the far-traveling level after leaving seclusion. Before this retreat, Su Lang, who carried the Green Bamboo Sword and the Hanging Green Bamboo on his back, made a special trip to visit this place to reminisce with Song Yushao, so as to put aside their grudges with a smile.

As for the general "Chu Hao" whose real identity is Han Yuanshan of Xiaozhongshan, he has already dominated the country and completely ousted the emperor. Due to the battle that reached the middle of Aquarius Continent, Han Yuanshan had outstanding military exploits and refused to retreat from several deadly battles. After a hard battle, he dispatched troops and generals, and fought in a methodical manner, which greatly pleased people's hearts. His reputation changed, and the leader of the Chu Party, who had been punished by everyone in the past, became quite famous in temples, scholars, and the world. Therefore, there are now rumors in the government and the public of Shushui that His Majesty intends to abdicate. Because his grandson-in-law Liu Qian is a spy of the Great Li, Song Yushao knows more inside information. Now he is still the Shushui Kingdom of the Great Li vassal. His Majesty the Emperor intends to break away from this status. In addition, he really can't compete with the man who holds multiple positions. The great general "Chu Hao", or Han Yuanshan, who was attached to the Song family of Dali, was equivalent to the emperor, Han Yuanshan and the Dali dynasty. The three parties had done business under the table, and there was no need to abdicate as emperor, because the emperor was in name only. He was still an unknown prince of Shushui Kingdom. Of course, it was Han Yuanshan who changed his identity, so he only changed the year name and no need to change the country name. And "Chu Hao", who has achieved great success, will also surprise people. He will retire after his achievements and take the initiative to resign and return to his hometown. The Shushui Kingdom in the future will not be a vassal of the Song Dynasty of Dali, but it will only be better than a vassal. Da Li must have many more secret plans like this.

After Song Fengshan arrived at the house, Chen Pingan tried his best to persuade him to drink three bowls of wine before he could sit down.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I met two descendants of the Qiu family in Yuzhou earlier near the Confucian Temple. Senior Song, do you want to go to Yuzhou to eat hot pot together?"

Song Yushao waved his hand and said, "I can't go anymore. Hot pot is worth a meal. You can go as far as Dali at most. If you have time to turn around, I'll drop by your mountaintop to have a look. Don't worry. Wait for me deliberately, I'll go there by myself, just take a look, it doesn't matter if your kid is on the mountain or not."

As they drank, Song Fengshan, who once threatened to hit two Chen Ping'an at the wine table, was already dazzled. Every time he raised the wine bowl, the guy opposite him would just raise his head and take a sip, and then say "Whatever you want". This kind of persuading someone to drink without persuading him to drink is the most terrible thing. How could Song Fengshan be so casual? Chen Ping'an was ten years younger than him, so he couldn't compare with his swordsmanship. How could he lose even with his drinking ability? Of course not. Song Fengshan, who was drunk, insisted on pulling Chen Ping'an to punch, so he treated it as a question of boxing. In the end, she lost completely. She ran to the door twice and squatted down. Liu Qian patted her back gently. After Song Fengshan wiped it off, he wandered back to the wine table and continued drinking. Ning Yao reminded him once that you are a guest after all. Asking Song Fengshan to drink less, Chen Pingan had no choice but to say to his heart that Brother Song was not good at drinking, but he still insisted on drinking. He really couldn't stop him. Ning Yao let Chen Pingan stop him and sighed.

Under the eaves outside the house, Ning Yao had to apologize to Liu Qian.

Liu Qian smiled and said it was okay. It was a rare opportunity. Fengshan was only uncomfortable for a while when he was drunk today. If he hadn't been drunk, he might have regretted it for a long time.

After all, Song Yushao was an old man. In fact, he drank more than Song Fengshan, but he was still not that drunk. His face was flushed, he was belching wine, and he advised Fengshan and Chen Ping'an to drink less.

It's okay for Fengshan to say that he was drunk and fell asleep. But after all, Chen Ping'an now has a wife. If he drank a lot today, and asked Ning Yao to look for someone under the table, would he still drink for the next meal?

It's just that Chen Ping'an has a really good drinking capacity. When Song Yushao drank to the end, he saw that the guy's eyes were bright after drinking, and he didn't look like a drunkard at all. The old man had no choice but to obey him and had to take the initiative to cover the wine bowl and said It's like this today. It's really impossible to drink anymore. My grandson and daughter-in-law are very strict. I drank half a year's worth of drinks in one meal today. Besides, I have to go to Huanghe Water Mansion for a wedding banquet tonight. I can't go there and just drink tea. , shameless, always have to drink wine to relieve hangover.

Chen Ping'an said that after drinking, he would go to Caiyi Country and he had to rush to do something immediately and couldn't stay here any longer.

Song Yushao smiled and said that he was busy with business and had a good time next time. Whether it was at Luolu Mountain or here, he would have a table of hot pot and compete thoroughly.

When Chen Pingan stood up, he staggered, and Song Yushao stood up slowly, placing his fingers on the table, making his body more stable.

As for Song Fengshan, he was already lying on the table.

Song Yushao picked up the bamboo yellow sword scabbard, threw it to Chen Pingan across a wine table, and said with a smile: "I'll give it to you."

After taking the scabbard, Chen Pingan walked out of the house and into the yard. Chen Pingan and Ning Yao said goodbye to the old man and Liu Qian who helped Song Gaofeng. Yu Feng left. However, within a few dozen miles, Chen Pingan suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his head. Shutting up, he landed in a hurry, reaching out to hold a tree, but his hand fell away and his head hit the tree. He simply pressed his forehead against the tree trunk, lowered his head and vomited. Ning Yao stood aside and patted his back gently. , said helplessly: "I want to save face."

In her impression, Chen Ping'an had never been drunk before, let alone drank to the point of vomiting.

Chen Ping'an didn't even try to dispel the smell of alcohol or get rid of the alcohol's intensity. He just let himself get drunk and asked Ning Yao to walk a few steps with him. After he calmed down a little, he would go to Caiyi Kingdom in the wind.

Ning Yao walked with him on the mountain path, walking slowly and wearing a green shirt, so she had to reach out to hold his arm.

The drunk man gently called her name, Ning Yao Ning Yao.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to respond again and again.

Over at the house, the old man sat back at the wine table, looking out the door with a smile on his face.

The new generation of Jianghu people often persuade people to drink just to see how ugly they look when drunk.

As in the old world, it’s because you don’t have enough wine that you’ll persuade your friends to drink enough. Or when there is no shortage of drinks, the reason for urging people to drink is to listen to a few more words from their hearts.

Maybe every old world is like a wine vat, filled with a kind of wine named "Once".

When they arrived at the house in Caiyi Country, they met the couple Yang Huang and Yingying. Chen Ping'an didn't drink this time. He just took Ning Yao to the tomb for a toast, and then returned to the house to sit for a while.

After leaving the house, Chen Ping'an looked back.

Forty years are like an electric wipe.

In the world of rivers and lakes, many old friends have passed away, but only the stories remain, just like carving a boat and seeking a sword.

In Rouge County of Caiyi Kingdom, a young female cultivator named Liu Gaoxin was a direct disciple of the Shen Gao Sect. After coming down from the mountain, she served as a priest of Caiyi Kingdom for several years. She was actually not that old, but her face was still young, but her expression was He was haggard and had a head full of white hair.

Tonight, she sat on the roof, drank a jug of wine, placed the jug at her feet, and took off a homemade bamboo flute from her waist.

The bright moon hangs high and the flute sounds whimpering. Life is like a dream, the moon is in the flute and the body is in wine. You don’t know whether you are drunk or not.

She fell back and lay on the roof. She raised her hand and gently shook a string of silver bells on her wrist. The sound of the bells sounded as if someone was passing by in her heart.

Just with the clear and sweet ding-dong sound, it disappeared without leaving.

She glanced at the full moon, feeling the most pity for the moon in the sky.

Wei Wei, the Mountain Goddess of Shushui Kingdom, was very bored today. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no pilgrims in the middle of the night, she sat on the steps and took out the landscape travel diary of endless romantic encounters from her sleeve. She was so happy that she never got tired of reading it.

It's a pity that this landscape travelogue was not reprinted by the bookseller on the mountain, so Wei Wei did not have the painted fairy pages that Wei Wei had been waiting for for a long time. The two goddesses enshrined in the temple nearby read the book with the mountain goddess empress. One of them, her eyes lit up and she blurted out the word "Zhenzhen". Wei Wei raised his head, puzzled, why are you teaching me how to read and write when you don't know a lot of Chinese characters?

————

A woman in palace attire, short in stature but extremely graceful and graceful, left the capital today and visited the Changchun Palace again.

At that time, I was driven out of the capital and had to practice cultivation here. Therefore, what I saw and heard was that everywhere was gloomy and gloomy, the chilling cicadas were miserable, and the flowers, no matter how beautiful they bloomed, would suddenly wither. However, looking back now, the scenery everywhere is picturesque and pleasing to the eye.

This Empress Dowager of Great Li, whose mother is as precious as her son, is now the most powerful woman in Aquarius Continent.

The two sons, one was destined to be famous throughout the ages, the Emperor of Dali, and the other was the King of Dali with outstanding military exploits. The brothers lived in harmony and survived the war together.

As for who is the real Song Mu and who is Song He, does it matter? Anyway, from her side, it was important once and she was heartbroken about it, but now it is not important at all.

The vassal king Song Mu, in the capital beside Dadu, except for the title of emperor, how is he different from the emperor? There are even six yamen. It's time to be content and not ask for more.

This time when she came to Changchun Palace, in addition to several military monks who were enshrined by the Dali royal family, she was also accompanied by an old monk from Qintian Prison.

At this moment, the Supreme Elder of Changchun Palace was sitting on one side. Behind the Queen Mother, there was only a woman who looked like a maid holding a sword. She had a graceful figure, but her face was covered by her natal water.

It is a pity that Dali failed to retain Cao Rong and serve as the worshiper of the Song family. This Taoist man who has lived in seclusion in the mountains of the old Dashuang Dynasty for many years is said to be one of the direct disciples of Bai Yujing Sanjiao. He is the senior brother of He Xiaoliang of the Qingliang Sect in Luzhou, Beiju. On the battlefield, there were many attacks, which attracted great attention.

Then there was the Bone Swordsman Pu Chun, a female crown from the Xuanxuan Mountain Master's Sword Room, who failed to be recruited by Da Li and left quietly after the war.

Aquarius Island, during that war, strange people and strangers emerged one after another, and there was a huge scene like that group of fish jumping over the dragon gate.

The only problem is that these gods on the mountain have a mediocre relationship with His Majesty the Emperor, but they are quite close to the capital.

As for those old southern vassals who had healed their scars and forgotten their pain, she really didn't pay attention to them, but she had a recent worry in front of her.

In the pavilion by the cliff, the old man in charge of the Qintian Prison was talking to the Queen Mother about the changes in the country's military fortunes.

She frowned at that.

Mainly in the south of Dadu, several ninth-level warriors have appeared one after another, including long-famous far-traveling masters, as well as a few new faces who have emerged from the sky. In addition, some young martial artists of the third level of refining gods, The Ministry of Punishment of Dali kept secret records in the books, and their names, birthplaces, teacher biographies, and landscape resumes were all recorded in detail.

On the other hand, if we only talk about superficial things in the northern part of Dadu, especially the local warriors in Dali, then in the past twenty years, they have seemed a bit lackluster.

The Great Liqin Heavenly Supervisor smiled bitterly at this.

It's not just because Song Changjing was the one who gathered the martial arts of a continent, the bigger problem lies in a place called Luopo Mountain on the other side of the old Lizhu Cave.

Even excluding the unreasonable mountain lord Chen Ping'an, the disciple Pei Qian who travels to various continents under the pseudonym "Zheng Qian" has reached the ninth realm. In addition, the great steward Zhu Lian, Zhong Qiu, Lu Baixiang, Wei Xian... who are not A master of martial arts.

What's more, the Yang's shop in the small town also has a pair of senior sisters and brothers who should not be underestimated, Su Dian, a girl named Yanzhi, and Shi Lingshan, who was born in Taoye Lane. The senior sister is at the bottleneck of the Golden Body Realm, and the junior brother is already a martial artist in the Far Traveling Realm. However, according to the secret records of the Li and Xing bureaus of Dali, Su Dian had better qualifications, foundation and character.

It was the first time that the Supreme Elder of Changchun Palace knew the inside story of these mountains, and she almost felt uneasy after hearing it.

That Luolu Mountain near Piyun Mountain has already joined the sect? Why hasn't any news about such a big thing been spread? And that young mountain master who is only forty years old is already a tenth realm martial artist? Wei Bo has held so many night banquets, yet he can still hide this matter?

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was obviously unhappy, the old man from Qintianjian carefully crafted his words and said, "As for martial arts, there has always been a saying that 'a martial artist in the third realm of refining the gods will die in his own country, and a martial artist in the final realm will die in his own country'. Luopo Mountain has such a background. Although it is too strange that the strong martial arts is so condensed in one place, it is not entirely a bad thing. In fact, it is still within the flower blooming wall. After all, it is within the boundaries of Longzhou, and it is within my mainland of Dali Mountain River."

The lady who was the Empress Dowager of Da Li nodded, and the old monk understood the situation and stood up to say goodbye.

She stood up, and the Supreme Elder of Changchun Palace was about to stand up too. She didn't turn her head, but just stretched out her hand and pressed lightly, and the latter immediately sat back down.

She looked out at the mountain and frowned.

The old grudge between Zhengyang Mountain and Luopo Mountain, the two newly promoted sects, seems destined to be irreconcilable.

Otherwise, Piyun Mountain wouldn't have helped Luolu Mountain hide and hide like this. If it were an ordinary mountain, it would have been impatient to show off the sect's heritage.

In fact, in her opinion, what was the incident that happened in Lizhu Cave?

You, Chen Ping'an, are already a fifth-level swordsman who has become a hidden official, and you are also the master of a sect, so why should you care so much about it?

As for your friend Liu Xianyang, he didn't die either. Instead, he got a blessing in disguise. After returning from a study tour with the Confucian Chen family in Nanbosu Island, he became the direct descendant of Saint Ruan and the Longquan Sword Sect.

Why do you have to ask for an explanation from Yuan Zhenye, the protector of Zhengyang Mountain?

She turned around and asked, "The imperial court will mediate and help Zhengyang Mountain soothe their cheeks. For example, try to get Yuan Zhenye to take the initiative to go down the mountain and visit Luopo Mountain to apologize and make amends?"

The woman standing next to the Queen Mother was Yang Hua, the water god who quietly left the jurisdiction. She shook her head, hung a golden spiked sword on her waist, and said softly: "When you say this to the Queen Mother, don't tell me that Zhengyang Mountain is absolutely beautiful now." Neither Chen Pingan nor Liu Xianyang think they can agree to this matter."

She stretched out her hand and patted the pavilion pillar and said angrily: "If we work together, we will benefit, but if we divide, we will be hurt. It may even lead to a loss for both parties. These two families are both sects with the title of sect, but they don't even understand this simple truth?"

Yang Hua remained silent. Some questions already have answers to those who ask them.

The woman sneered, "Well, there are only two sects, and they are still busy choosing the location of the next sect. Or the two sword immortals Chen Ping'an and Bamboo Emperor thought they had become the sect masters, so they thought Burning bridges across rivers, you can now have the ability to ignore me, Dali."

Yang Hua said: "My dear, they are making a big fuss. Actually, it is not all bad for our Dali. If both parties abandon their past grudges and expand too fast, it will be very easy for disputes to arise."

The woman turned her palms into fists and gently knocked on the pavilion pillars.

Yang Hua continued: "Especially Chen Ping'an's Luoluo Mountain, which is covered by clouds and fog, hidden deep, and rises too fast. In addition, this person is one of the ten young people in the world, especially the one who has served as a swordsman. The last hidden official of the Great Wall is still forming alliances in Luzhou, Beiju. If he is not careful, he will lose his tail. Maybe in a hundred years, it will be difficult for anyone to restrain Luo Po Mountain."

The woman stretched out her fingers and rubbed the center of her brows, "Our Mr. Wei Dashan has really caused me a lot of trouble."

She was still willing to look at Wei Bo with new eyes and be a little extra polite.

After all, Piyun Mountain shares weal and woe with Dali's national destiny. In these years, Wei Bo has been the king of Beiyue Mountain, and he has done so well that the court cannot find any fault. The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and officials who had frequent contacts with Piyun Mountain all spoke highly of this tiger. Frankly speaking, among the Five Mountains, Wei Bo was the most decent in his conduct, because he was experienced in his conduct, elegant in conversation, and rich in spirit. The one who knows the rules of officialdom best.

What's more, Wei Bo still has a handle, which is held by Da Li in the Changchun Palace.

Song Yuzhang served as the mountain god, which was the intention of the late emperor.

The maid Yang Hua beside her was involved in danger and became the god of river water. It was her arrangement.

She suddenly turned around and smiled: "Yang Hua, now I am the Queen Mother and you are the Water Goddess. Are we both empresses?"

Yang Hua immediately knelt down and said nothing. The long sword was put aside.

The woman smiled and walked around behind Yang Hua. She gently raised her foot and kicked Yang Hua's round arc. She joked: "Such a beautiful woman doesn't show her face to others. It's really a waste of natural resources."

She felt a little sorry for herself and reached out to touch her cheek, "Unlike me, my cultivation is fruitless. I can only force myself to wear hairpins on bronze mirrors. It's hard for me to retain my flavor when I grow old."

Her eyes suddenly turned sharp, "If this Chen Ping'an dares to go too far, doesn't give any face to Da Li, and dares to casually turn over old scores, then don't blame me, Da Li, for being rude to Luo Luo Shan."

The Supreme Elder of Changchun Palace was shocked to hear this.

The woman suddenly laughed, turned around, bent down, covered her heavy chest with one hand, and patted Yang Hua's head with the other, "Get up, don't act like a puppy."

Yang Hua picked up the long sword on the ground, stood up respectfully, and stood aside holding the sword again.

The woman sat back on the cushion with bright yellow embroidered dragons, and suddenly asked: "Yang Hua, do you have a landscape painting of that young mountain master? I can't remember his appearance clearly. I only remember that he was a poor, thin man. Black little clay legs.”

Yang Hua nodded, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and spread it gently on the stone table. The woman was greatly surprised. She tapped the scroll lightly with one finger and looked at the man in green shirt carrying a sword in the painting. He clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "I've only heard that women can undergo eighteen transformations. How can a man change so much? Is it because he went to the mountain to practice Taoism?"

The woman lay on the table, thought for a while, took out a piece of broken porcelain from her sleeve, and then called the old monk from Qintian Prison and asked him to find the young mountain master of Luolu Mountain and see what he was doing at the moment.

The old monk looked embarrassed, after all, this matter was too taboo.

The woman smiled and said: "He is not in the immortal realm. He will not notice it. We just need to remove the formation as soon as we see him."

The old monk had no choice but to obey the order and began to set up the formation. Finally, using the broken piece of porcelain as the center of the formation, he used his magical power to look at the mountains and rivers in the distance, mist rising, and finally, a man who looked like a young Taoist priest appeared in the pavilion.

At this moment, I seem to be on the top of a mountain, overlooking the scenery.

I saw the man wearing a lotus crown on his head, holding a white jade Ganoderma lucidum, tapping the palm of his hand gently, wearing a simple and elegant green gauze Taoist robe, flying cloud shoes on his feet, and carrying a long sword with a bamboo yellow scabbard.

The woman tilted her head, as if she couldn't imagine that the back-alley boy back then would become such a person.

The next moment, her heart skipped a beat. She saw the "young Taoist priest" raising his head as if looking at her. He squinted and smiled. He raised the white jade Ganoderma lucidum in his hand and gently wiped it on his neck.

Egret Crossing in Zhengyang Mountain.

A genealogy master named Cao Mo asked for a room in the Xianjia Inn called Guoyunlou. It was room A. He just gave Zhou Shou's name. There was no need to spend money, because this person would I bought this house directly for a year. Otherwise, if there is a big celebration in Zhengyang Mountain, there would be no room for guests. Otherwise, let alone the A-shaped room in the Xianjia Inn, ordinary mountain monks would not be able to live in Zhengyang Mountain. All the immortal mansions, and even the two surrounding county inns, were crowded with immortal masters from all directions.

In the moonlight, Chen Ping'an moved a bamboo and rattan lounge chair, sat on the viewing platform with a wide view, looked at the green mist peak in the distance, and gently shook the sword gourd in his hand.

In three days' time, it will be an auspicious day, and it will be the celebration for the great sage Yuan who moved the mountains to enter the upper five realms. There will be an immortal family with a sect with a sect number as many as clouds, and the number of swordsmanship is as high as the clouds. Moreover, there is a rumor recently, It is said that the selection of the site of the lower sect of Zhengyang Mountain in the old Zhuying Dynasty has been finalized. Then Zhengyang Mountain will soon become the first sect to establish a lower sect in Aquarius Continent. The latecomers will catch up, surpassing Shengao Sect, Fengxue Temple and other sects in one fell swoop. The time-honored sects like Zhenwu Mountain.

Ning Yao didn't follow her here, she went directly back to Luo Po Mountain.

Chen Pingan used a lot of reasons, such as asking Jian Zhengyang Mountain, no one can suppress the formation? Besides, I just received a letter from Cui Dongshan about flying swords. Aunt Tian Wana has hooked up with Bai Shang. That is a swordsman who can ascend to the Ascension Realm anytime and anywhere. He and Liu Xianyang, what if? What should I do if I encounter the elusive Bai Shang? But Ning Yao didn't agree. He only said that if Bai Shang really wanted to hide in Zhengyang Mountain, if she still dared to draw her sword, she would arrive there.

In fact, it is all Chen Ping'an's fault for being anxious. Earlier, when there was no one around on the Jingling Mountain alley, he got drunk and became cowardly. However, after Ning Yao broke away, she went to Caiyi Country. In fact, she never stopped. Pay attention to him.

Chen Pingan withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Qingwu Peak, pursed his lips, and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

I have never seen Ning Yao so shy and timid, even for just a moment, his face turned red like a peach blossom.

Chen Ping'an doesn't have a sword gourd around his waist, why should he drink wine?

The immortal master "Cao Mo" appeared at Bailudu, traveling far away with a sword on his back, wearing a lotus crown and a green gauze Taoist robe.

He is truly a man of immortality who is full of Taoism and has an ethereal air of immortality.

So much so that the female cultivator in charge of waiting for guests at the Xianjia Inn suspected whether this Taoist master was an outsider who deliberately did not stay at the immortal mansions in the peaks of Zhengyang Mountain.

Chen Pingan lay on the chair and began to close his eyes and rest, half asleep and half awake until dawn.

The next day, Chen Ping'an still didn't wait for Liu Xianyang, but the entire Bailudu was disturbed by one person. All the guests in Guoyun Tower were leaning on the railings or windows to watch the famous swordsman from a distance.

finally come.

In fact, less than half of the Genealogy Immortal Masters and Yamazawa Yexiu who came to join in the fun all came for this person, just to try their luck and see if they could witness this person's most likely sword questioning with their own eyes.

The owner of Fenglei Garden, repairs the Yellow River with his sword.

The inn was noisy, with whispers everywhere.

The centuries-long grievance between Zhengyang Mountain and Fenglei Garden has been talked about by the monks on Aquarius Island for more than a hundred years?

Why Yuan Bai asked Jianfeng Leiyuan, the entire Aquarius Continent knew it. But Yuan Bai was seriously injured and destined to never break through again in this life, but it still only delayed the Yellow River's breakthrough.

Li Tuanjing, Wei and Jin Dynasties, Yellow River.

They are recognized as the three people with the best sword training qualifications in Aquarius Continent for thousands of years.

Chen Ping'an also sat up and looked at the sword cultivator who appeared at Bailudu, Li Tuanjing's eldest disciple and Liu Baqiao's senior brother.

The first time I saw this man was on the cross-continental ferry on Dajiu Mountain. With the help of the mirror, flowers, water and moon, I was able to watch the sword-asking at the Immortal Platform of Fengxue Temple. Chen Ping'an was deeply impressed by the Yellow River, because this man's sword was extremely sharp. He actually hit Fairy Su Jiajian so hard that his heart broke. At that time, Chen Ping'an's realm was low, and he was just a layman watching the fun. When he truly became a sword cultivator, looking back, he would understand that Huang He, if he were in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, might have already been in the Yupu realm, and would be qualified to become Mi Hu. , a candidate for the peak sword immortal like Yue Qing.

The arrival of the Yellow River, and the unexpected and reasonable appearance of Bailudu, caused the entire festive atmosphere in Zhengyang Mountain to suddenly freeze for a moment. For a time, swords were flying everywhere, and spells and spells were sent continuously, quickly conveying the news. .

But outside the gate of the First Line Peak Patriarch Hall, the sect leader Bamboo Emperor was standing side by side with the old ape in white.

Of the two Jade Pu realms, one smiled lightly and was confident, while the other sneered and sneered.

At present, Zhengyang Mountain is full of talents, and the peaks are filled with immortal masters, heroes, emperors, ministers, and gods of mountains and rivers from all over the country.

Some people have already marveled, saying that outside of the battlefield back then, Zhengyang Mountain today can be regarded as the place where the largest number of Earth Immortals gather.

For example, Qi Zhen, the Heavenly Lord of the Shengaozong, came to Zhengyang Mountain in person with his direct disciples, and had already settled on the first line of the Ancestor Mountain.

A young academy gentleman from the Jiang family in Yunlin, who is said to be the next candidate for the head of the Jiang family, has arrived at Zhengyang Mountain with his contemporary Jiang Yun and a Jiang woman who married into the Fu family in Old Longcheng. At the peak of the ancestor Xia Yuancui.

The new leader of the Zhenjing Sect in Shujian Lake, the Immortal Liu Laocheng, was promoted to the chief worshiper of the Yupu Realm, Liu Zhimao, and the second honorary priest, Li Furui. The three of them also appeared together, came to congratulate them, and stayed at Bo Yun Peak.

Even Jin Qing, the Lord of Zhongyue Mountain, asked for an ultimatum from the Dali imperial court and finally settled in Duixue Peak.

In Qingfeng City, which also joined the sect, the head of the Xu family lived at the peak of Tao Yanbo with his wife, children, and a son-in-law who was a descendant of the Yuan family in Shangzhu Kingdom.

It is said that there is also a hunting envoy from the Dali court, Cao Ping, who will visit Zhengyang Mountain together with the Minister of Rites of the capital.

The old mountain master of Yunxia Mountain and a very young Yuanying monk, Cai Jinjian, the female founder of Yunxia Mountain, also came to Zhengyang Mountain.

Not to mention the emperors and monarchs around Zhengyang Mountain who all left the capital one after another, and met many landscape gods along the way.

Probably the only fly in the ointment is that no one from Fengxue Temple, Zhenwu Mountain and Longquan Sword Sect came here to congratulate him.

Chen Pingan suddenly stood up from the wicker chair and came to the railing in an instant.

When he held the white jade Ganoderma lucidum and made that action.

The other party obviously realized immediately and removed some kind of magical power to see mountains and rivers.

Xu Hun stood at the railing of the high-rise building of the mansion. The Lord of Qingfeng City did not think Huang He could succeed in his sword quest today.

The Big and Little Solitary Mountains are collectively known as the Juvenile Couple Peak. There was a woman who was quietly taken back to her master's school. She was extremely beautiful. She stood alone on the edge of the Little Solitary Mountain. Her face was pale and colorless, but she added a bit of beauty and became more beautiful. Inspire people.

Outside the Patriarch Hall, the Bamboo Emperor smiled and said: "With Huang He's temper, he will at least give us a sword to our Patriarch Hall before he is willing to leave."

The old ape in white crossed his arms across his chest and sneered, "It's best to join the two losers Chen Ping'an and Liu Xianyang to ask for swordsmanship."

Sure enough, as the Bamboo Emperor expected, Huang He drew his sword, one after another, attacking the peaks of Zhengyang Mountain one by one.

On the side of the first-line peak, the sect master Zhuhuang personally took the sword and dispelled the sword light. The other peaks activated their respective mountain protection formations instantly, and then the old swordsmen took the sword accordingly. In addition, some experts who were visiting Zhengyang Mountain , all helped to receive the next sword.

The old ape in white asked, "Shall I go meet him for a while?"

The Bamboo Emperor smiled and said: "It's a happy day for our sect. Let's not fight and kill him. Let him go. Otherwise, it will not be heard well. It will be said that our Zhengyang Mountain has a large number of people and bullies a junior who is only in the Nascent Soul Realm." "

Huang He stood there for a moment, and when he saw that no sword cultivator showed up in Zhengyang Mountain, he left indifferently and said that he would come back next time and ask about Jian Yixian Peak's Ancestral Master Hall.

Chen Pingan lay back on the wicker chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Huang He didn't fight, otherwise what would happen between him and Liu Xianyang.

In the night, Liu Xianyang leisurely took a ferry to Bailudu, found Chen Pingan in Room A of Guoyun Tower, and cursed, saying that the Yellow River was too much.

He also moved a wicker chair for himself. Liu Xianyang lay on the side, holding the back of his head with his hands, looking at the bright starry sky, and asked with a smile: "What are you asking about the sword?"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while and said: "You can just climb the mountain from the foot of the mountain and draw your sword at will. I will sit on a chair and drink tea at the First Line Peak Ancestral Hall and wait for you."
