Chen Ping'an's shoulders sank, and his breath stagnated. The sword energy that was about to leave the Qi Mansion was already on the string and had to be fired. However, after being slapped suddenly on the shoulder, he was like a big snake coming out of the mountain, but encountered something blocking the way.
Hejiao, whose previously unstoppable arrogance naturally stopped, chose to stand still for the time being.
"Stop it, stop it." A man in a bamboo hat stood next to Chen Ping'an, put his arm around the young man's shoulders, and said with a smile: "How can it be inappropriate for a big family who loves each other to fight and kill each other?"
Chen Ping'an raised his head, and the elusive man in a bamboo hat smiled at him, "Believe me, I'm A Liang."
Chen Ping'an sighed, "I'll listen to you for now."
A Liang just glanced at Zhu He, not even bothering to glance at the girl Zhu Lu, and said lazily: "Such a precious sword energy, used to kill a Zhu He, it is such a waste of nature, you feel sorry for me, I feel sorry for you. What's more,
...Forget it, if you don’t say these things that will ruin the scenery, in short, my conscience, Aliang, will be troubled. This kind of 'eighteen stops' luck method, you can consider it as compensation."
Chen Ping'an was about to put away the gesture of putting his fingers together. At this moment, A Liang let go of the boy's hand on his shoulder, took a step back, shook his head and said with a smile: "This gesture is too ungraceful, I will teach you a trick
of."
"Stand still!" The man in the bamboo hat shouted softly, bent his fingers, and first tapped Chen Ping'an on the shoulder. Then he moved like flying, tapping the young man's heart seven or eight times. At the same time, he used Bina's concentrated sound to form a line.
The superior magical power of the Immortal Family directly caused ripples on the young man's heart lake, and a series of heart voices sounded, "Remember the origin of this Qi in the body, remember the names and operation routes of all Qi houses, the Qi stretches like a dragon's veins, starting from
Linchong, the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Mountains, is the first Qi palace in the world to cultivate swords. He stops here and quickly passes through the three mountains and six passes. He stops at the Fuji acupoint for the second stop and rushes through six caves and nine palaces. He then arrives at Chunyang Mansion.
The third meal... This is the last one, with a total of eighteen stops. These acupoints and qi palaces are very different from what is said today. They are the precious efforts of countless swordsmen in ancient times who have overcome obstacles and paid a huge price. Remember it!"
A Liang finally asked: "Do you remember clearly?"
Chen Ping'an's forehead was dripping with sweat, "I remember seven, seven, eight, eight."
A Liang smiled and said: "It's almost enough. If you hit your head and get bloody, don't be afraid. This is the path that every sword cultivator must take. When you become familiar with the route in the future, you can try to move your Qi slowly.
This is the most interesting part of the Eighteen Stops. Well, this is the knowledge that A Liang and I have figured out. Some people admire me so much that they praise me, saying that this alone has raised the level of kendo a lot. Haha, I am a little embarrassed.
ah."
Chen Ping'an suddenly felt that this so-called Eighteen Stops was probably no better than the Shaking Mountain Boxing Manual.
Ah Liang seemed to see through the young man's mind and said seriously: "Do I look like a liar who talks nonsense? I, Ah Liang, have never known what bragging is in my life!"
Zhu He's mind had been reluctantly pulled out of the mud, but his limbs were stiffer than before. He would die if he moved. This was the only thought in Zhu He's mind. This was the invisible shock brought by the man in the bamboo hat.
When that guy with the green knife and gourd on his waist is your friend, you will feel that he doesn't look like a master.
But when this guy became an enemy on the opposite side, Zhu He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and really wanted to lose his mind.
In the distance, Zhu He was completely distracted. Nearby, Zhu Lu could only hear Chen Ping'an talking to himself.
A Liang also told Chen Ping'an from his heart, "The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the air flow can travel hundreds of miles and thousands of miles in an instant. It is very good, but if it can be slowed down, it will be like a mountain that has accumulated soil for a hundred years without any increase in height, and an ocean that has accumulated water for thousands of years."
, it will be even better if the water surface does not rise at all! In the future, if you are lucky, you can concentrate on practicing this path so that it can operate by itself even when you sleep."
Chen Ping'an wondered: "How do I know if the eighteen stops have been running after I fell asleep?"
A Liang crossed his arms across his chest and said with a smile: "Walk to a poor place and sit and watch the clouds rise. You will naturally know the answer by then."
A Liang sat down on the bench, but as soon as he sat down, his face looked a little strange.
Chen Pingan covered his forehead.
A Liang quietly raised his buttocks, slapped away the candied haws on his buttocks with his hands, moved to a seat, spread his hands on the railing, exhaled heavily, and finally looked at Zhu Lu for the first time, "
In addition to returning the heroic courage of Zhenwu Mountain to me along with the "Purple Qi Book", you and your father also need to take out the stack of talismans inherited from the Li family, but these talismans can only save one of you.
Man, Zhu Lu, I will let you choose now, will you leave the Pillow Inn alive, or will your father?"
Before Zhu Lu could speak, Zhu He had already said in a deep voice: "I beg Senior A Liang to let Zhu Lu leave. I am willing to commit suicide to apologize without even having to dirty Senior's bamboo knife."
A Liang just looked at Zhu Lu with a smile, ignoring Zhu He who had already taken out the elixir and the yellow paper talisman, "Zhu Lu, who do you hope can survive?"
The girl had already burst into tears. She just covered her mouth with her hands and did not dare to cry out.
The other hand was clenched tightly behind her, and the nails pierced the palm of the hand, which was covered with blood.
Zhu He knelt down heavily in the corridor far away, kowtowed and said tremblingly: "Senior Aliang!"
A Liang looked at Chen Pingan and asked: "What do you think? Or should we let them go together? If you are afraid of Zhu He's revenge, I can abolish his martial arts cultivation. If you are afraid of accidents, I can interrupt Zhu He's immortality at will.
Bridge, um, Zhu Lu’s bridge will do, too.”
The young man did not look at Zhu He, but looked at Zhu Lu, "I said, you must die."
Zhu He suddenly raised his head and roared: "Chen Pingan, Zhu Lu is still a child!"
The young man who had always had a relatively calm mind turned pale with anger for no apparent reason after hearing these words.
The straw-shoe boy took a few quick steps forward, about to smash Zhu Lu's chest with a punch. At this moment, her energy was in turmoil, and her body was not much better than that of an ordinary girl. But for some reason, after punching out, she couldn't help but become...
It turned into a slap, the path tilted upward, and a slap fell hard on Zhu Lu's cheek.
A Liang pressed the boy's shoulders again, "That's it."
Ah Liang chuckled softly: "Some punishments are much more cruel than death."
Chen Ping'an sat back on the bench and was lost in thought. How A Liang dealt with the father and daughter after that, how they left the Pillow Inn, and where and who they were going to meet in the future, the young man had no idea.
The young man suddenly raised his head and asked, "A-Liang, do you have anything to drink?"
A Liang smiled and said, "There is plenty of wine. My little gourd can hold a thousand pounds of wine, but I must tell you one thing. When a person is sad, he must not drink. It is easy to become an alcoholic. Happy things,
You can drink, and maybe as you drink, you will become a drunkard."

Outside the main door of Pillow Inn.
Lin Shouyi stood alone on the street. For some reason, the boy was left outside by A Liang, who told him to wait for someone to show up and let him decide whether to cross the threshold of the inn.
Even if he is bored, the young man still stands like a lonely pine on the top of a mountain, with his back straight.
With the help of the red lantern hanging at the door of the Pillow Inn, the young man took out the Taoist classic "Yunshanglanglangshu" from his arms and began to browse the difficult-to-understand words.
But every time he reads something he understands, or realizes some of the true meaning, it is like a clear sky after a rain, parting the clouds and seeing the blue sky, which makes the young man overjoyed. This sincere joy, a rough life experience, has created a young man with an indifferent temperament who is unwilling to be with him.
people share.
Young people are never afraid to speculate on people and things in this world with the greatest malice.
A plain-looking woman walked from a distance, looked at the boy, her eyes were amazed, and said with emotion: "He is really a good boy who practices Taoism."
The woman walked to a place seven or eight steps away from the boy and said with a smile: "Hello, Lin Shouyi. We have met at the waterside before. I am on the boat and you are on the shore. My true identity is Da Li
The Supreme Elder of Changchun Palace, I am not just boasting, but I am indeed a mountain god in the eyes of the common people. I am genuine. I can wave the wind and rain with a wave of my sleeves, shake the mountains with a stomp of my feet. I am especially good at rectifying the law with five thunders in one hand, and suppressing demons and evil spirits with my palms...
…”
At the end of the sentence, the woman laughed to herself and waved her hand, "No, no, this is really embarrassing. I have to ask someone to change it to something plainer next time."
The young man nodded and said, "I believe you."
The woman smiled and said, "Although I don't know what your father told you in that letter from home, and I don't know what that A-Liang thought, but since he clearly knew that I was following you and left you outside the inn, then
I think I can try to see if I can convince you to come with me back to the Great Li capital, say goodbye to your parents, and then follow me to Changchun Palace to practice Taoism."
Lin Shouyi said with an indifferent expression: "My father wants me to stay in Hongzhu Town, and then someone will pick me up and take me to Dali Capital. Otherwise, if I die outside inexplicably, he will not help me collect my body. Because of a
A dead person is not worth the travel expenses. My father mentioned that prices in Dali Capital are very high nowadays, and my family’s expenses are very high."
The woman sighed, "Your father's words are a bit harsh, but isn't that the truth?"
The boy's mouth was full of sarcasm.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then extended her hand to the young man with a solemn expression, "Although you may think it is too childish, not mysterious enough, and lacks many ups and downs and challenges, I still want to tell you, Lin Shouyi, to
Take one step forward and you will be on the Bridge of Eternal Life."
The young man put away the Taoist book, put it back in his arms, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Immortal, for your kindness. It's not up to me what family you are born into or what your surname is. But I know what path you should take."
"Pity."
The woman could only sigh and did not force anyone to do anything, "Lin Shouyi, we are destined to meet again. I hope you won't regret it then."
The young man bowed and saluted, and said solemnly, "Lin Shouyi respectfully sends the Immortal Chief off."
The woman disappeared in a flash.
