Sword of Coming

Chen Ping'an came to the boundary north of the Great Wall of Jianqi. Except for a newly opened road from the Confucian Temple, the rest were razed to the ground. When he looked up, there was nothing.

Lu Chen appeared and walked side by side with Chen Pingan in the ruins without any scenery at all.

A city filled with sword masters and numerous wine shops, as well as the scattered residences of sword immortals outside the city, no longer exist.

In Zhongyuxian Pavilion, there was once a woman named Jianxian who liked to plant flowers. She asked Daixuanshan Lingzhizhai to buy an ancient elm tree from Fuyaozhou with a large sum of money and transplant it into the small courtyard. She was probably not acclimatized to the soil and could not bear the ubiquitous presence. The sword spirit has been withered for many years. I never thought that one flower would suddenly bloom one year, rising high on the roof, and it was so beautiful.

But when the Kuxia Sword Immortal from the Middle Earth Divine Continent returns to the Great Sword Qi Wall again, neither the woman nor the flower will be allowed to see each other again.

Taihui Jianzong acquired the Jiazhan library with his military exploits, Li Cai rented Wanhe House, where there was the sound of pines and waves every moonlight, and the Tingyun Pavilion she spent money to buy. The whole pavilion was actually like a It is carved out of a huge piece of jasper.

Chen Pingan squatted down and picked up some soil.

Lu Chen had already handed over the lotus crown to the young hermit official again.

The carving of characters on the city head consumed too much of Chen Ping'an's energy, so it was not appropriate to return the Taoist method for the time being. He would have to wait for a while.

Anyway, Lu Chen is not in a hurry to return to Qingming World. If he goes there, he will be disliked by Senior Brother Yu again. Fortunately, the master has already spoken, and he does not need to go to Tianwai Tian to fight with those endless demons who are killing the demons outside. Otherwise, Lu Chen I really just found a reason to stay in Haoran and travel for a few years. Just like this young hermit official next to me, wherever people go, there is Baofengzhai, so where can I put a stall that cannot tell fortunes?

Seeing that Chen Pingan had no intention of getting up for a while, Lu Chen simply sat on the floor and took out a broken stone from the base of the wall, about the size of a palm, from his sleeve.

During this trip to Haoran, if the hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall was not Chen Ping'an, Headmaster Lu would have definitely found a hidden place on top of the city, carved out a line of "Lu Chen is here for a visit" in small regular letters and ran away.

Lu Chen raised his hand, "You don't mind?"

Chen Pingan shook his head.

Lu Chen took out a bamboo-yellow paper knife and used it as a carving knife. Finally, Lu Chen carved out a pair of slender plain square seals. He then erased the edges and corners with his fingers and blew away the stone chips with a breath.

Chen Ping'an asked: "It's so difficult to solve the problem of a demon outside the sky?"

So much so that the Taoist ancestors needed to build a White Jade Capital that was "higher than the sky" to resist the endless intrusion of the demons from outside to Qing Ming's world.

Lu Chen nodded, held the paper knife between his fingers, and was carving the edge of the seal. The rough content was to record his journey with the young hermit official in the wilderness, and what he had seen along the way. When he heard this question, Lu Chen showed a bit of melancholy. "It's difficult. It's very rare. If you go to the poor Taoist, it's just carrying snow to plug the well, cooking sand to make rice, which is a waste of energy. Therefore, Bai Yujing Taoist officials have always regarded it as a hard job, because it will only waste away the Taoism, without any There is no profit at all. When facing the ever-changing demons from outside, monks under the ascension are forced to put out fires. The monks' Taoist heart is not stable enough. If there is a slight flaw, they will become the bait of the demons, which is tantamount to being on fire. To add fuel to the fire, in the history of Qing Ming Tian Xia, there were many elderly ascendants who could not break through the bottleneck. They knew that the end was approaching and there was really no other way, so they took risks and tried their luck in the outer world. There was nothing wrong. Without exception, they all died, either died in the outer world, being played with by the demon outside at will, or died under the sword of Senior Brother Yu."

"Senior Brother Yu once had three close friends who met at the foot of the mountain. The four of them were mountain climbers at about the same time. They were all extremely qualified monks. They met and fell in love with each other. In the end, the four close friends who shared weal and woe climbed the mountain together within a thousand years. Ascension, only Senior Brother Yu entered Bai Yujing, and the other three Ascension Realms, a Grand Master of Talismans, and a pair of Taoist companions, practiced sword cultivation for a while, can you imagine the kind of behavior that Senior Brother Yu and the others had during those years? Are you high-spirited?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "We walk together on the great road and are invincible in the world."

Liu Xianyang, Zhang Shanfeng, Zhong Kui, Liu Jinglong...

Chen Ping'an would also look forward to traveling around the world with his friends, crossing rivers and mountains, and stopping when encountering an injustice.

"Well, Senior Brother Yu's true invincibility has been spread since then. He is sharp and invincible. As the second disciple of Dao Ancestor, among the many city masters and Tianjun Immortal Officials in Bai Yujing, he is the only one who is not a sword cultivator. , but dare to say that he is a master of swordsmanship, and every time Senior Brother Yu leaves and returns to Baiyujing, he can bring back a basketful of stories for the Twelfth Floor of Five Cities."

Just like A Liang of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the later young Yin Guan, and Ning Yao of the Colorful World Ascension City.

"As time went by, rumors passed on, and it became Senior Brother Yu's self-proclaimed 'True Invincible'. Senior Brother didn't bother to explain anything. He probably felt that the title of 'True Invincible' would be in the bag sooner or later, and it was nothing more than being called thousands of dollars in advance. Years are nothing."

"It's a pity that one of the two of them died in Tianwaitian. Senior Brother Yu didn't stop him at that time. He couldn't bear to hand over the sword to his best friend, so he deliberately let it go. Because of this, he was impeached by Bai Yujing Historian, and the complaint reached the level of Master Guandao. Little Lotus Cave. The other one died under the sword of Senior Brother Yu, leaving only one person left. And because the Taoist companion was killed by Senior Brother Yu, she completely turned against Senior Brother Yu, so that every few hundred years, every time she came out of seclusion, One thing is to ask Jian Bai Yujing to do something based on his will and knowing that he cannot do it."

"All Taoist swordsmanship in the world can only suppress the demons, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and cannot cure the problem. Pindao's two senior brothers and Sun Daochang's junior brother, these three people each chose a path, and they all tried to find a way to solve the problem once and for all. method."

"To give two inappropriate examples, you can regard all the demons as a collection of some kind of magicians, or as a great monk of the fifteenth realm who can "dissociate" and "join the path" at will. "

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Buddhism seems to have a true statement."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's why we talk about demons and heretics, destroying the righteous Dharma."

"The method of the headmaster brother is to personally create the armillary sphere and the armillary image, truly making the sky resemble the earth, trying to determine the uniqueness of each demon, allowing a certain degree of blurring of boundaries, but the amount of the project is too huge. It is no different from counting the sands of the Ganges by oneself, but the head master is still working hard and has been working on this for thousands of years. When you go to Baiyujing as a guest in the future, Pindao can take you to see the armillary sphere. elephant."

Lu Chen talked about the two senior brothers with slightly different titles. One was Senior Brother and the other was Senior Brother Yu.

It seems that in the eyes of the Master Bai Yu Jingsan, the Taoist priest who is truly qualified to be called the "Acting Master" is still the senior brother who "has no self for others".

"Master Sun Guanzhu's junior brother has an even more shocking idea. He wants to trace the origin of the demon outside and prepare to use the demon to rectify the demon. However, this move is full of taboos. Once leaked, it is very likely to cause an immeasurable catastrophe in the world. That senior brother of yours To embroider a tiger and secretly create a porcelain figure is even more extreme. Although the method is different, it is actually a step further than the former, which is equivalent to actually taking action."

"My senior brother Yu's method is very simple and crude. He thinks that as long as his Taoism is high enough and his killing power is enough, he can force the demon to gather more and more, and he will have to converge to one infinitely, and he will come again. Catch them all in one fell swoop, suppress, imprison and refine them. Even if the merits are complete, the three thousand merits are completed, and you will become a saint and become the second person in the fifteenth realm after the master. The price is to vacate the entire White Jade Capital, as that head Transform the cage of demons from outside. Senior Brother Yu has already planned this. He wants to ask for a decree from his master, allowing him to refine Bai Yujing into a natal object. He will use the two Taoist heavens and earth of Bai Yujing and Renshanhe, supplemented by a The Immortal Sword 'Daozang', together with the five hundred spiritual officials, are responsible for patrolling the mountains and rivers, and using this to imprison, refine and kill all the transformed demons."

"Master has always had a vague attitude toward Senior Brother Yu's move. He seems to neither support nor oppose it."

Chen Ping'an suddenly asked: "Why is it called a flood when a demon from outside causes trouble?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "In the future, wait until you travel to the outer world by yourself to explore the truth."

"For those of us who are cultivators, the closer we are to the top of the mountain, the farther away we will be from the human world. When we finally reach the top of the mountain, or stand on the top of the mountain, then we can climb high and look far away. It is best to learn to cherish every 'unknown' . Otherwise, the monastic life will soon feel that there is no fun at all."

"You used to have the fourteen realms of cultivation, cross mountains and rivers at will, and travel around Aquarius Island. I believe you have understood one thing. Climb high and see far away. The higher you go, the farther you can see. How many times can a boundless land withstand repeated glances? No matter how big the world is, it has its limits after all. Seeing the same scenery too much, especially year after year or for thousands of years, will make people feel tired and lethargic."

Lu Chen finally finished carving the margins of the seals of the two parties. "We are separated from each other this time. When we meet next time, it will take as little as a hundred years or as many as hundreds of years. There is no accurate estimate."

If Chen Ping'an hadn't had this far journey and never fallen into the realm, I believe it wouldn't be long before he could ascend with his sword and travel far across the Qingming world, looking for an opportunity to join the Fourteenth realm.

It's hanging now.

Lu Chen gently threw a seal to Chen Ping'an and said with a smile: "Then each person will have a seal as a souvenir."

Chen Ping'an took the seal, and the bottom line was to read my book at will.

I glanced at it earlier and saw that the bottom of the other seal also had five characters, "Friends with the Madman".

Those few talisman masters are all recognized masters of gold and stone on the mountain. Almost every piece of "leisure" work, with a little bit of "proudness", can be directly used as a town hall by ordinary immortal sects. The treasure of the mountain.

"In my life, I have dabbled in hundreds of arts and crafts, and all of them have more talent than manpower, but there are only five people who govern Yin Tian."

How confident are people who can say such things, especially the phrase "five people in heaven and five people", which seems to be self-effacing, but is actually a huge arrogance.

And this person is Master Lu next to Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an thanked him and put the seal in his sleeve generously.

Lu Chen once again mentioned the coral penholder obtained from Jade Edition City. He didn't mince words and directly asked Lord Yin Guan to give a price. This shows that Headmaster Bai Yujing San is determined to get this thing.

Chen Ping'an didn't seem to attach much importance to this thing, it was dispensable, and he didn't refuse the sale. He just asked Lu Chen to make an offer first, and it was a fixed price. If the price was right, he would sell it. If the price was not right, stop pestering him and put it in Luo Luoshan. It's better to eat dust over there.

Lu Chen had a headache instead.

And after dealing with Chen Pingan for a long time, I know that he has no intention of selling at a price, and he will not sell it if he says he won't sell it.

Seeing Lu Chen's embarrassed look, Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "Before we make an offer, why don't we talk about the origin of the coral pen holder?"

Lu Chenqian smiled and said: "It's so bright, the color is moving, and it's exquisite and cute. Whoever sees it doesn't fall in love with it. I just don't have enough money in my pocket, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to make wedding clothes for others and help buy it for my friend in Linlanglou." This thing."

Chen Pingan asked casually: "Is this coral penholder still from the Water Palace of the East China Sea Dragon Palace?"

Just like the folk antique trade at the foot of the mountain, in addition to paying attention to the orderly inheritance of a famous family, if it is an old object that has been found in the palace, it will of course be worth more.

Lu Chen didn't hide it and said straightforwardly: "Good eyesight. It is indeed an old collection of Dragon Palace. It can be regarded as one of the best in the world. It is also a thin mountain-like piece of wood work in Dragon Palace. It is a water treasure." Of course, it is very rare to have a mountain shape. This is like the Dali Dynasty, which was founded by Shui De. It left a fire temple in the capital, the only one. It is not necessarily the fire temple itself that is rare, but the fire god. The temple is very valuable if it is in the capital city of Li."

"The moon hangs on the coral, and the branches support the moon."

Chen Pingan nodded, "It can be inferred from this that this object is at least three to five thousand years old and is very valuable. But what is the connection between the coral penholder and the white jade Jinglinlang Tower?"

Almost all the dragons in the world were assigned to Haoran Tianxia and were under the jurisdiction of the Confucian Confucian Temple.

There are not many dragons in the Buddhist country in the west. Without exception, they have all become Buddhist protectors and are not counted among the dragons.

"There is a piece of "Coral Tie" in Linlang Tower. It is full of spirit and can be called a masterpiece. It is said that the ink color is eye-catching. It is a painting of a coral branch with the word "Golden Sitting" written next to it. It is extraordinary. It is said that the coral branch of the East China Sea is the most valuable thing. , there is still a prophecy, 'jade flowers bloom on the coral branches for thousands of years', and the flowers that bloom are known as five-color pen flowers, which is one of the origins of the wonderful pen flowers in later generations."

Lu Chen said eloquently: "The most important thing is that inside the long scroll of calligraphy and painting, there is actually an ancient Dragon Palace ruins of high quality. Although it is not as good as the residence of the Dragon King of the Four Seas, it is not too far behind. As for There is no way of knowing who was able to include the Dragon Palace in a copybook. Some say it was written by Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou. I have never seen the copybook with my own eyes. That Wang Dongzhi was very stingy, and everyone knew it. Without showing it, I can't deduce anything. I only know that Linlang Tower has never been able to break the ban on landscapes. But I can be sure of one thing. The coral penholder in Jade Edition City is most likely the long-lost penholder. key."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then we have to settle the accounts according to half of the Dragon Palace."

Lu Chen Dayi said solemnly: "It is necessary."

It's not a waste of my own money anyway, so I don't feel bad.

Lu Chen felt sad thinking about some old things. After all, he was idle, so he became a storyteller and said that he recalled that in the past, in the middle of the world, in the land of the eight poles, nine Gai were in the same wind.

It is only said that all the dragon kings of the four seas in the vast world are still there. They hold high positions and are in charge of sea, land and water transportation. There are endless dragon descendants. There are countless aquatic tribes in the Dadu River. It is very lively. Whenever the monks on the mountain reunite with the water tribe, they are all They often quarreled, fought whenever they disagreed, and then changed places to continue the quarrel after the fight, leaving countless anecdotes for future generations.

How vast is the sea, with countless treasures of heaven and earth contained within it. They all nominally belong to the large and small dragon palaces and narcissus mansions. Real dragons in the world do have the custom of searching for treasures from heaven, materials and earth. Every dragon palace and water palace is a treasure house. In ancient times, the waters of the four seas, among which Led by the East China Sea, the waters are the most vast and the seabed is especially rich in jade trees and corals, which are of the best quality.

The immortal masters on land went to the sea one after another to hunt for treasures, cut down jade trees, climbed and folded countless trees, and collected endless corals. Then the dragon kings would go ashore to complain and chatter endlessly, as if they were afraid that the treasures in the Dragon Palace would be empty. What else is there, the golden carp of the East China Sea swallowed up the sea in one gulp, led millions of aquatic people under his command, and rose up to rebel against the Dragon Lord of the Four Seas. In addition, there is the dragon girl showing off her clothes, and the scholar dreaming about the water house, becoming a veritable son-in-law riding a dragon.

Just like your Aquarius Island, there was an ancient Shu territory in the early days, with fishy winds and strange rains. After thousands of years of reproduction, dragons were rampant. The two ends of the territory once bordered the seaside. Foreign swordsmen liked to kill dragons as a way to temper their strength. Refining the sword's edge, speaking of sword training, sharpening the sword's edge, how can the priceless Dragon Slaying Platform in later generations compare to the real dragon? Anyway, there are countless water descendants, and the sword immortal can hand it over at will for any reason. sword.

One kept talking, the other listened attentively, and the two of them unknowingly reached the boundary of the former city.

A yellow bird landed on Lu Chen's shoulder,

Back then, when he set up a fortune-telling stall near Lizhu Cave, the business was deserted and it was really boring. Lu Chen relied on this oriole to test his fortune.

Zhao Yao, Song Jixin, Liu Xianyang, Chen Ping'an... almost all the young people in the town had their literary talents tested by the bored headmaster Lu.

As for why Lu Chen misjudged Chen Ping'an alone, he had long since admitted his defeat. Anyway, there were two of them.

Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "Headmaster Lu's magnanimity is unparalleled in the world. He will never hold grudge against Liu Xianyang, right?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You've already said that. How can Pindao have the nerve to hold on to something as old as a sesame seed? It's not grand."

Back then in his hometown, Liu Xianyang overturned Lu Chen's fortune-telling stall and became so aggressive that he even beat people.

Chen Ping'an was not worried that this move would make Lu Chen resentful, but he was worried about why Liu Xianyang would do this, and whether Lu Chen would follow some unknown line, make a plan, lie down for thousands of miles, and then just wait and see. Waiting for the future Liu Xianyang.

For example, Liu Xianyang’s ancestor was a dragon warrior appointed by the Confucian Temple.

And Lu Chen has inextricable connections with the real dragons in the world, especially the noble dragon girl.

Chen Ping'an had rarely been so lax on Lu Chen's side, almost showing weakness.

Whether it's words or transactions, it's mostly tit-for-tat and clear-cut calculations.

Chen Pingan suppressed his smile and said, "I didn't mean to joke with Master Lu."

Lu Chen smiled knowingly, "I understand, don't worry, from now on, when Pindao returns home, you will be the host, which is just a matter of drinking a few bowls of wine."

Chen Ping'an looked back at the city head.

Lu Chen sighed: "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this."

Lu Chen immediately said: "If 'if' is a person, he must be the most deserving of beatings."

In this barbaric world, although the land is barren, it is rich in minerals, especially the reserves of gold and silver, which are unrivaled in any other world.

Gold and silver, as money under the mountain, have been circulated in several worlds in later generations. It is obvious that this can be regarded as the good intentions of the founders of the three religions. They probably hope that the wild world sitting on the gold and silver mountains can communicate with other worlds. . If the monks of the wild monster race are not so hard-wired, but after refining their form, they are still fond of killing, extremely respect the strength of the individual, and seize the world outside themselves without restraint, otherwise they will change their customs, change their geography, and become barren. How difficult is it to turn the land into fertile farmland?

Just talk about farm monks, they can use magical powers to call for wind and rain, the spring breeze thaws, the earth is moist, the vegetation grows, the grains are luxuriant, and there are no worries about floods and droughts. In just a few decades of operation, there may be a good harvest in the fertile land. .

The problem is that the peasant monks in the wild world are the rarest among the many Qi practitioners. And only those monster monks with the lowest qualifications would actually go to learn this craft. As soon as they have money and a higher level, they will immediately change careers and regard farm monks as a lowly profession, compared to the vast world. The business children's status is even worse.

It was not until the emergence of Wen Haizhou that the situation improved. A large group of peasant monks were trained and assigned to those big dynasties. As long as they served as peasant monks registered in Tuoyue Mountain, they could receive a salary every year and provide services for them. The threshold for issuing a death-free card from Tuoyue Mountain and the once-in-ten-year evaluation is extremely low, but even so, the careful move still has little effect. Compared with One World, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

The reason is very simple. A sect on the mountain and a dynasty at the foot of the mountain will be destroyed at any time. The incense of the Ancestral Hall in the mountain and the country at the foot of the mountain will be destroyed at a moment's notice. Moreover, the great monsters in the wild world have always liked to eradicate and kill every piece of them as long as they take action. If no armor is left behind, landslides and landslides will occur in a sect within a thousand-mile radius, and all cities and towns will be wiped out and all life will be scorched.

Even if the group of peasant monks could escape the disaster and save their lives, the thousands of acres of fertile land and the hundreds of years of hard work of the Qi practitioners would be wasted in a matter of days. Who can bear it? In the end, there are naturally very few demon qi practitioners who are truly willing to be that peasant monk.

A hundred people planting trees over a hundred years may not be able to compete with one person cutting them down in a year.

In the final analysis, what is said is true to the human heart. It is inevitable to dry up the lake to fish and burn the forest to hunt.

Lu Chen said: "If Zhou Mi is determined to become the national master of the entire world, with his mind and means, he still has a chance to fundamentally change the barbaric customs."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "There is no doubt about Zhou Mi's great talents and strategies. He probably still feels that the chessboard is too small, not enough to accommodate Haoran Jia Sheng's ambitions."

Chen Ping'an's words did not mean any disparagement or contempt for Zhou Mi. Even the word "ambition" is used, which is not ambition.

The reason is very simple. If you look down on Wen Hai Zhoumi, you will be sorry for the stubborn defense of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Chen Ping'an raised his head and glanced at the door, "Will the really invincible one take action?"

Lu Tai shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. Senior Brother Yu doesn't like to take advantage of others' danger, and he doesn't even bother to join forces with others."

Chen Pingan asked casually: "How is the pure martial artist from Qing Ming Tianxia good at fighting?"

Lu Tai rubbed his chin, "If the two worlds each pick out ten people, and then fight each other for ten games in order of ranking, Qingming Tianxia will be slightly better. But if they pick out a hundred people, Qingming Tianxia will be the most stable one. win."

Senior brother Yu Dou is extremely generous to pure martial artists.

During the hundred years that this second Taoist priest was in charge of Bai Yujing, he had always killed those monks who violated the prohibition without mercy. If he could kill or not, he would definitely choose the former.

But when it comes to Wu Fu, he is surprisingly easy to talk to.

Lu Chen continued: "Of course, if it is delayed for ten or more decades, and then there is a life-and-death battle between ten people, Haoran Tianxia will have a greater chance of winning."

This is thanks to two pairs of masters and apprentices.

Pei Bei and Cao Ci of the Daduan Dynasty in Central China.

Chen Pingan and Pei Qian from Luoluo Mountain in Aquarius Continent.

Among the pure warriors in the world, leaving aside the Middle-earth Divine Continent, there are almost two to three ultimate warriors in the other eight continents.

For example, Tongyezhou, which has average military luck, now has Wu Shu and Ye Yunyun, while Aaizhou, which has weak military luck, has only one Pei Axiang for the time being.

As for Aquarius Continent, it is not unreasonable. In the next hundred years, the prosperity of martial arts will shock everyone in the world.

"Today, the top three martial artists in Qingming World, the one with the highest martial arts achievements, is named Lin Jiangxian. This guy is very good at fighting. He is not an ordinary fighter. He has been at the top for nearly three hundred years."

"There is also a female martial artist named Bai Ou. Despite her cute name, she is actually the most vicious in beating people."

"But I still have to count the hard work of the one sitting alone on Leap Moon Peak. He is the youngest and has the best qualifications. For some reason, according to Master Sun, this guy just likes to be alone and stare at the blue sky."

Lu Chen clicked his tongue and said, "It's hard work, with a weird name and a weird temper. This guy is indeed a...monster."

"For example, if he didn't practice martial arts at the beginning, but went up the mountain to practice, he would definitely be able to reach the fourteenth realm. To say the least, if he is willing to give up martial arts and practice to become an immortal, he will still be a fourteenth realm. Realm Great Monk.”

"Bai Lotus is already considered a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth. She has asked Lin Jiangxian twice about boxing. But she always deliberately avoids hard work and has no idea of ​​asking about boxing."

Chen Pingan remembered it silently.

Especially that hard worker, a pure martial artist who could be so highly regarded by Lu Chen.

This is the top three martial arts in the world, not a list of martial arts reviews from one continent to another.

Just like that time in the ruins of the Immortal Mansion in Luzhou, Beiju, Taoist Sun, who traveled far away, stayed in Daxuandu Temple, but when the old Taoist talked about Huaiyin, one of the ten people from the Middle-earth Divine Continent,

He didn't hide his sarcasm. Those with small arms and legs were afraid that they would be discounted if they were not careful and did not grasp the sense of proportion.

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but ask: "How could there be a monk in the world who dared to say that he would be able to reach the fourteenth level at the beginning of mountain climbing?"

Zheng Juzhong in Baidi City may be an exception.

Even if Wu Shuangjiang is the emperor of the year, strictly speaking, it can only be counted as half.

Lu Chen sighed, "Who says it's not the case, but things are just so weird."

Putting up three fingers, Lu Chen said helplessly: "Pindao has sneaked to Leap Moon Peak three times. Looking at the hard work, he looked horizontally, vertically, and up and down, but he couldn't tell that he had the qualifications of the Fourteenth Realm. No matter how he deduced it, Evolution, that hard work, can only reach the ascension stage at most. But there is nothing you can do, my master said it himself."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "There are strange people and strangers everywhere."

Lu Chen's palms faced each other, caged in the sleeves of his wide robe, and he walked slowly, "If Bai Yujing gives people the biggest impression, it is that he is relatively deserted. Everyone goes their own way, busy practicing, and not distracted."

"Just like everyone's feet, there is a path to the sky. The steps are clear and you can walk steadily. Every time you step on a step, you can see the higher steps. The so-called climbing means lifting your feet."

Lu Chen suddenly turned his head and suggested with a smile: "When you arrive in Qingming World, you won't be in a hurry to visit Bai Yujing anyway, so you must stop in a certain state for a few years, for example, find a ten-square jungle and hang out. The prison guard is in charge of the three capitals, five lords and eighteen heads under his command, so the palace doesn’t have to be too big, it’s still very interesting.”

"I have spent a full three hundred years traveling around, and finally managed to get those positions in nearly forty Taoist temples, large and small, taking care of complicated affairs. In fact, I have to take care of everything. As for Tico, Zhuhan and night patrol are both very interesting. Being the head of the house is a bit miserable, but there is a lot of money in the humble industry, and there is no one to compete for it. It is very comfortable. But after all, I still want to be the house number. , the most interesting thing is to welcome people and see them off, and watch the dishes being served.”

Chen Pingan was noncommittal.

Lu Chen suddenly asked: "Chen Ping'an, how do you think we can truly have no desires and no desires?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, "I don't know, I've never thought about this problem."

Lu Chen said: "After all desires are satisfied, before finding the next desire?"

Chen Pingan thought for a while and said, "It sounds very reasonable."

Lu Shensi thought about it and said, "How about waiting for you to return to Aquarius Continent and then return to the realm?"

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

Lu Chen was about to speak but stopped.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "You really don't have to be so polite."

Lu Chen no longer insisted.

In an instant, a ripple appeared around the two of them. Even the "two" Fourteenth Realm people were not aware of it in advance, and a woman in white walked out.

Behind the woman in white was a young swordsman with a hunched head and shoulders.

Chen Pingan never expected that he would appear here.

It was the ancient great demon who was a sword cultivator in the Ascension Realm.

She smiled and said: "It is definitely going to fall, so Luolu Mountain may still need a dead soldier who can fight in the near future."

Lu Chen stretched out his hand to cover his face.

A little bit...dead warrior...

She smiled and said: "Remember to go to Tianwai to refine your sword early. I'll go back first."

As soon as she spoke, she turned into a sword light and went to the sky.

Chen Ping'an had no choice but to raise his head and nod lightly.

The ancient demon kept a smiling face, slightly stiff.

Chen Ping'an also held it in for a long time before he said, "Actually, I'm embarrassed too. It's even."

The ancient demon that finally woke up from its long sleep breathed a sigh of relief. It turned to look at the young Taoist priest, and asked in an extremely righteous and elegant manner: "Who are you?"

Lu Chen said with a playful smile: "He is just a little person. The follower around Master Yin Guan is not worth mentioning."

The big moon in the sky is about to approach the gate.

Lu Tai raised his head and murmured: "The sky will last forever, and the moon will shine in one day."

Chen Pingan raised his eyes and looked across the sky.

A long night of peace and quiet will bring many benefits. All actions of body, speech and mind are pure.

When one day I really have some free time, the Night Sword behind my back will hang in the Jise Peak Ancestral Hall in the future as a token of the sect master of the next Lord of Luolu Mountain.

Chen Pingan took off the lotus crown on his head, handed it to Lu Chen, and said, "Master Lu, you can take your realm back."

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen's expression was solemn. Just as he was about to decline the matter, Chen Ping'an smiled and threw it at Lu Chen.

The founder of the three religions who met in a small town before.

The Holy Master came to the Western Buddhist Kingdom and had a very pleasant conversation with the abbot of a small temple.

The Buddha came to Qingming Tianxia, ​​looked up and saw a plaque, the first ancestral court in the world.

Daozu also left Haoran Tianxia, ​​and did not return to Baiyujing, but went to Tianwaitian.

Liu Gao, an old monk from the capital city of Dali, took the initiative to take his apprentice Zhao Duanming to drink together.

The old man and the young man chatted about a past incident, saying that Master Cui once asked him what he wanted in return for helping to guard this alley.

At that time, Liu Gao only said that he had never seen any great people in his life.

At that time, Cui Chan, who had just served as the Grand Master of Da Li, just smiled and said to Liu Ga that he would let you see him.

Previously, Chen Ping'an showed up at Qilong Lane, went to the gate of Luolu Mountain, ate melon seeds with Xiaomili, and finally returned to Qilong Lane instead of going to Yang's shop.

Shi Rou smiled and helped the little mute take credit, saying that Chen Lingjun met a group of mountain immortal masters before. Zhou Junchen was worried and worried that Chen Lingjun would be in danger, so he went there to help.

Chen Pingan picked up a piece of apricot blossom cake and chewed it carefully. After hearing this, he looked at the child with a smile and nodded gently.

The little mute stood on the bench behind the counter, flipping through a novel about rivers and lakes.

The child curled his lips, saying it was such a big deal that it was not worth mentioning.

Zhou Junchen remembered something and asked: "Mountain Master, when you eat cakes, do you give me money or credit?"

As Pei Qian's direct disciple, he never likes to call Chen Pingan the ancestor. When Chen Pingan is not around, when he mentions it to others, he will at most refer to the master as the master. If he is in person, he will call him the mountain master. Shi Rou tried to persuade her several times, but the child didn't listen and was very stubborn.

Shi Rou smiled and said: "If the mountain master eats his own cakes, what should he keep in mind?"

Seeing that the mountain owner was still twisting a piece of pastry, the child deliberately turned a page of the book and murmured in a low voice: "No wonder the business of the shop is so good. There are many customers who are not in debt."

Chen Ping'an took a few more cakes and made the child blush with anger. This grandmaster who had never taught him any boxing skills was really a bully!

The white-haired boy ran out of the backyard quickly. Just as he was about to raise his arms and shout, Ancestor Yin Guan gave him a sideways look and shut up.

He still raised his arms high, but his lips moved slightly without making any sound.

I guess I felt that there was no sound and it was quite boring, so I put my arms down angrily, feeling uncomfortable.

The white-haired boy whispered: "Ancestor Yin Guan, now I have changed my name to Kong Hou, how do you like it?"

"Far inferior to 'natural'. And since ancient times, the sound of the konghou has been sad. The meaning of this name is not good. You must have read the Confucian "Suburban Sacrifice Chronicles", so don't take it seriously. It's better to change it. Let's go back and let more warm trees grow. Just go to the county government office, but don’t forget to say thank you to Nuanshu.”

Chen Pingan clapped his hands and went to the Caotou shop next door.

The young girl Cui Huahua, and the young mountain master whose legendary dragon has never seen its head or tail, timidly offered a blessing.

Chen Pingan nodded with a smile and looked up. There was a couplet hanging in the shop. It was handwritten by a blind veteran. It was said that it was a proud work of splashing ink after getting drunk.

Jie Chongyun is deep in ancient books.

The sky is high and the bright moon is in the middle of the sea.

In addition to the signature, there is also a private seal: The place of understanding is not far away.

When Chen Pingan returned to his hometown last time, he came to Qilong Lane to check the accounts as usual, and he actually saw it.

Immortal Jia "saw" the young mountain master and was about to say a few words, but he never thought that the other party had already left with a smile.

Chen Ping'an, who was still in the fourteenth realm at the moment, once again shrank from the mountains and rivers and returned directly to the Great Li Capital. When he returned to the realm on the other side of the Great Sword Qi Wall, it would not be a matter of a few steps back to the capital.

The founders of the three religions have all left Haoran Tianxia.

The world-famous Chen Ping'an walked near the alley.

Chen Ping'an on the Great Wall of Sword Qi picked up an Ascension Realm dead soldier in vain, and seemed to feel that the overall situation was settled, as if there were no accidents with Tuo Yue on the other side of the sky, so he returned the fourteenth realm Taoist magic to Lu Chen.

Sure enough, he fell into trouble.

Martial arts fell to one level, and monks fell to two levels.

Lu Chen was not worried about these major events, and hurriedly said in his heart: "What's going on?! Twice, twice! I'm reminding you not to return to the realm prematurely, because I have calculated that an accident will happen, but I can't If I tell you the secret, otherwise the road will change at the first touch, maybe the new accident will be even bigger. Although I can't figure out where the accident came from, but..."

Chen Ping'an looked calm and said: "Because I know that the accident must come from Zhou Mi. He is waiting for the founder of the three religions to leave Haoran, waiting for the fight between Li Sheng and Mr. Bai, waiting for her to return to the sky, and waiting for my sword to cut the entrustment Yueshan, it's done. After I finish carving the words, Zhou Mi will start. He knows better than anyone what I care about, so he doesn't need to target me at all. He only needs to make a mountain of poverty disappear, and it will be as if it has disappeared from the sky. Disappear before my eyes.”

Lu Chen was speechless, "I know, what next?!"

Chen Ping'an said calmly: "When I first arrived at the city, before I asked you to borrow realm, I actually started greeting people. Most people may not understand, but the other person is not an ordinary person."

What's more, there is a backup plan.

At the ruins of the ancient heaven, Zhou Mi picked up a chess piece from his sleeve and threw it out gently.

The chess piece broke through the vast sky in an instant, like a star smashing into the entire Longzhou territory.

The place where the pieces on the chessboard are placed is the mountain of despair.

It was so fast that even the imitation white jade Kyoto on the side of Da Li's capital couldn't stop it with his sword, and even the old scholar on the other side of Da Li's capital couldn't rescue him in time.

But at the same time, I saw the grass-roots shop in Qilong Lane, and from the couplet, walked out a lord of Baidi City who had a tacit understanding with the young Yinguan.
