The spring grass is secluded, the moon shines brightly late, and the gurgling stream competes for drinks.
Chen Ping'an asked Zhao to bring bamboo chairs under the tree to entertain the guests, and then prepare a late-night snack. Don't be too particular about it, just do whatever you want.
Lu Chen hurriedly said: "Under the tree, just go to the kitchen and help Pindao get the chairs. Pindao will have all the food and drinks besides midnight snacks here."
Otherwise, Headmaster Lu would worry that he would have no place and would have to drink while squatting.
Lu Chen was familiar with the route. He went to Chen Ping'an's house and brought out a small table and two chairs. After sitting down with the young man, our head teacher Lu did not forget to wipe the table with his sleeves.
Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Ning Ji, think about it, don't regret it?"
The young man's eyes were determined and he nodded: "Mr. Chen, I have decided to be your student. Ning Ji will also remember the kindness given by Master Lu and repay him when he has the opportunity in the future."
Chen Pingan glanced at Lu Chen and knew with his hips that this guy must have led the young man through a long scroll of time.
Lu Chen began to put gold on his face, waving his hands and saying: "It's a small skill, it's not hard work, it's not hard work at all."
There is a long river of time, but not everyone can wade through it casually. Even the great monks dare not wander through the time at will. Even if they are in it, ordinary people in the ascension realm are mostly forced to do it. The skin is rotten and they are about to be forced to surrender.
At this time, we must use the long river of time to "change our mind", or try our luck to see if we can find a blessed place that has disappeared in the long river of history. We are afraid of encountering many unexpected countercurrents, especially those of that kind.
If there is a vortex in the funnel, it is easy for Qi practitioners to fall deep into it and lose their trace. In history, many great monks said to the outside world that they had failed in seclusion, but in fact they were just sinking into the sea in the long river of time, making wedding clothes for others.
The great monk fished the fragments of the golden body from the long river of time, and this is how it came about. What's more, there are many visions of the water turning into a lake or the river water turning into a stream. Previously, "Chen Pingan" and the sword holder
In the Qilong Lane shop, inviting Bai Jing to sit down at the same table is one of the great manifestations of this place and scene.
On the mountain, only mountaintop monks worthy of the name, holding certain heavy treasures, can preach and protect the disciples in this way. This tempering of the body has many benefits, especially the three souls and seven souls that can nourish the Qi practitioner, but the risk is too high.
Big, if you are not careful, many originally highly accomplished monks may directly turn into idiots, just because their memory and consciousness are like drowning, drifting with the water, losing their minds, and unable to summon their souls afterwards.
Chen Ping'an himself has visited it several times. The first time was with Mr. Qi, and the second time was at the Taoist Temple in Ouhua Blessed Land, where he experienced the scrolls of time of one or two hundred years beside the old temple owner.
Lu Chen glanced at the young man sitting upright beside him, and praised: "Ning Ji performed very well. He didn't need Pindao to help him at all. He quickly adapted to the movement of the Time Scroll."
Chen Pingan nodded, "It's very impressive. I remember the first time I waded into the water, I felt dizzy and almost vomited on the spot."
Lu Chenxiao smiled and said: "This is the difference between a half-baked floor material qualification and an outstanding talent."
The straw-shoe boy whose life was broken was indeed a half-qualified Earth Immortal. Lu Chen's evaluation was very objective.
Chen Ping'an didn't take it seriously, but was happy after hearing it. Who would dislike his students and disciples for being too talented and too qualified to learn Taoism?
Ning Ji was blushing, clenching his fists and placing them on his knees, looking at a loss.
The young man did not yet know that the praises given by Master Lu and Mr. Chen were not complimentary words, and he did not know how dangerous it was to cross the river. He mistook them for the kind words of the two seniors to "other people's children", which was very watery. big.
"It's better to have a disciple than to have a disciple. Of course it's good. As for the price... you must know better than me."
Lu Chen suppressed the smile on his face and asked: "Chen Ping'an, have you thought about it?"
To be honest, it was indeed beyond Lu Chen's expectation that he could find Ning Ji so quickly.
This is why it is difficult for gods to catch fish at noon.
Originally, Lu Chen had made plans to wander around the world for as short as three to five years or as long as seven or eight years. He could just take this opportunity to wipe his ass and solve some historical problems that had some causal relationship with him, such as the previous Baihua Lake. The old turtle from the Dragon King Temple, the little Tao seed in Shirou from Qilong Lane, Zhu Lu who was supposed to be one of the elder brother's Taoist protectors, and of course Gu Qingsong with the Taoist name Xiancha, also have to have one Lu Chen is still considering whether to let Zhouzi die and be included in the genealogy of Nanhua City or to take the old Zhouzi to Baiyujing. Because of this, Lu Chen owed a debt of gratitude to Aunt Feng, the "wormwood-scorched forehead", and all the big and small things like this made Lu Chen feel quite tired.
Chen Pingan nodded, "As long as Ning Ji thinks about it himself, there will be no problem on my side."
Lu Chen said: "I have to thank you for this."
If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.
As long as Lu Chen finds Ning Ji, no matter what the reason is, no matter how difficult or easy the process is, the Confucian Temple only looks at the results, and it will be counted as a large sum of merit for him, Master Lu, and clearly recorded in the book. The more Lu Chen is like this Those who hold high positions, the more they know the inside story and the truth, the more they will understand the value of adding a few strokes to the merit list of the Confucian Temple, especially at this critical juncture when the founder of the three religions is about to pass away. To give a simple example, the powerful family and wealth at the foot of the mountain Leaving money, property, or even books to descendants may not always be fulfilled, but those seemingly illusory ancestral blessings and blessings are accurate and never fail.
Chen Ping'an said: "It's nothing, not to mention that Director Lu accompanied Ning Ji on this journey of mountains and rivers, which is enough as a thank you gift."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, as if he couldn't think of a suitable thank you gift, so he put a bottle of wine on the table, "I'm just having a small drink tonight, not too much, so as not to lose my temper when drunk and make some jokes on the younger generation."
Chen Ping'an looked at the pot of Gengyunfeng Chunxing wine and marveled: "Headmaster Lu and Master Huangshan are already so familiar?"
Lu Chen said confidently: "We are very familiar with each other, why are we not familiar with each other? We feel like old friends at first sight."
Huang Zhonghou of Gengyun Peak is now the new mountain master of Yunxia Mountain. This has caused a lot of speculation in Aquarius Continent. A Jindan Immortal with very little qualifications has taken over the Yunxia Mountain with a sect candidate background. It is said that Cai Jinjian of Green Cypress Peak is similar to Huang Zhonghou Daoling, but she is already in the Nascent Soul realm, but she still failed in this "change of dynasties". The outside world will inevitably have some thoughts, whether the Zushan lineage is deliberately suppressing the rise of Swift green cypress peak?
Many sects and immortal mansions with a long history will face similar situations. More recently, for example, the power of Jin Xian'an in Qingjing Peak has fallen to the side, and Chuqing Peak has turned against its guests.
A little further away, the Zhuzhi Sect, which is one of the forces of the Zhengyang Mountain vassal, and the Caiyu Mountain lineage where the outer sect Zhike used to be, is in a similar situation. The current leader Guo Huifeng is actually not from the lineage of the founder, so she is like Liang.
Jizushan monks like Yuping always have some ideas in mind.
This is just like the Luopo Mountain in the future. A certain mountain owner may not be the direct descendant of Pei Qian, Guo Zhujiu and the others. The next disciple may come from the legal lineage of other vassal mountains. Maybe it is the longevity of the leader.
A certain disciple or grandson of Wei Wenlong, Chen Lingjun and the others may be a line of incense disciples. In short, on the golden and jade genealogy of Luopo Mountain, it is a "fork in the road". Don't take a branch. Later generations of Luopo Mountain disciples will recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
Of course, it is still Chen Ping'an who will live forever, but as for the tablet of the sect's god, it may not be him.
Lu Chen suddenly smiled and asked: "Chen Ping'an, if Luolu Mountain has such a day in the future, will you, the first-generation mountain master, feel a little awkward?"
Chen Pingan laughed it off.
Lu Chen turned to the kitchen and shouted: "Under the tree, Pindao's bowl of noodles has coriander and coriander. Forget it if you don't have it. But you can't have less chopped pepper and minced garlic. There won't be too much."
Ningji stood up and went to help bring several bowls of steaming noodles with a lot of condiments, mostly dried bamboo shoots and tofu prepared by the school.
Zhao Shuxia has a good eye for this new junior brother who seems to have fallen from the sky.
The young man was thoughtful and soon noticed Zhao Shuxia's kindness and closeness to him, and Ning Ji felt a little at ease.
Lu Chen picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
As a result, from the corner of his eye, Headmaster Lu noticed that Ning Ji and Zhao Shuxia had taken their first bite after Chen Pingan picked up the chopsticks, and then they silently lowered their heads to eat the noodles.
Headmaster Lu, whose chopsticks had been suspended in mid-air for a long time, became the last one to eat the noodles. He was the only one who dared to eat noodles at the same table, but Pindao was an outsider, right?
Headmaster Lu was angry. If he had been cruel, gritted his teeth, and accepted Ning Ji as his direct successor, now it was master and apprentice versus master and apprentice, two against two. Wouldn't he be outnumbered?
Chen Ping'an seemed to have guessed Lu Chen's frustration, and joked: "If Master Lu regrets it now, it's too late, just knock Ning Ji unconscious with a sap, put a sack on him, and just run away."
Lu Chen imitated the old scholar's signature tone and sighed, "Stop saying a few words that hurt your feelings. I've always been honest and aboveboard in my actions. I can't do this kind of thing."
When it comes to recruiting Ning Ji as his disciple, Chen Ping'an is responsible for personally teaching the Dharma to this ill-fated young man. On the surface, there are many benefits, but in the end, it boils down to one. Luo Po Mountain can have one more person like Chai Wu, and it is even possible
A monastic genius whose achievements in the Great Dao are even greater. Even if it is a conservative estimate, it is very certain that Ning Ji will reach the Ascension realm in the future, and Ning Ji is probably an extremely young Ascension realm, who came out of nowhere and shocked people's minds.
But the trouble is not small. Ning Ji's Taoist roots have already determined that he will not let Chen Pingan and Luo Luoshan worry about it in the future. This is a bit like the old scholar who accepted Liu Liuliu as his direct disciple, but Chen Pingan
Senior Brother Jun Qian, when he took the old scholar as his teacher, in addition to having a high enough level of cultivation, the key was that he had become clear about himself. In addition, the old scholar was at the height of his power at that time, so apart from some gossip on the mountain, he did not know how to
It caused too much substantial damage to the literary saint lineage.
But Ningji's life situation, especially his character, is full of countless unknowns.
The young hermit official who has just been able to take some leisure time may not be able to do so for several more decades.
With Pei Qian in front and Ning Ji in the back, haha, Lu Chen rolled up a large amount of noodles with chopsticks and suddenly felt in a good mood. His cheeks bulged and he took a few deep breaths.
While eating noodles, Lu Chen made a vague suggestion: "If you live in mountains and rivers, there are so many wild vegetables and wild vegetables, and there are so many fish in Wuxi. It would be good to make a casserole as a midnight snack next time, especially
It's that kind of winter when it's freezing outside, the heat is blowing in front of your face, and the taste is incredible. If you have a brazier at your feet and boil a jar of rice wine or glutinous rice wine, your mouth will water just thinking about it."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It's difficult."
Of course, it’s not that the casserole is difficult to make, but that it’s difficult for you, Lu Chen, to eat it. Now that Haoran Tianxia is in trouble, and there are undercurrents surging over Qingming Tianxia, ​​it is unlikely that Lu Chen, the headmaster of Bai Yujing, will stay here for a long time. Cui Cui previously
Dongshan sent Luoposhan a secret letter, which contained the list of the latest ten people and candidates in the Qingming world. No matter how you look at it, Baiyu Kyoto does not dare to take it lightly.
Lu Chen sighed, then raised his head and asked casually: "Chen Ping'an, do you remember when was the first time you drank?"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while and said: "I used to practice boxing and I couldn't stand the hardship. It seemed that I borrowed a drink from Wei Bo. After that, I got out of control and I couldn't stop drinking even if I wanted to."
Lu Chenxiao asked: "I'm always curious, do you really like drinking?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Whoever asks this kind of question shows that he doesn't like drinking."
Lu Chen took out a few salted duck eggs from his sleeves and put them on the table, "They are a specialty of a place called Gaoyou. They are very famous. The ducks from Wa Ting Lake, the one in Wa Ting."
Chen Pingan and others took the duck eggs and cracked them lightly without being polite to Master Lu.
Lu Shenmei sighed, "Grandmasters are everywhere, real people are flying all over the sky, and in the future thousands of years, if you and I are not walking on the Shanyin Road, what else can we be."
Chen Ping'an nodded and agreed: "It's dizzying."
Lu Chen said: "Gu Can revisited his old place and is now in Shujian Lake."
Chen Pingan nodded.
Lu Chen was like a well-informed god of retribution, "On the other side of the wild world, just because of that wild cultivator named Qingmi, two groups of people met on a narrow road, killing one and saving the other, and neither gave in, just because they were in the wild world.
To be continued...
