Most of the monks' ferries were across the sea, a sea of ​​clouds. As for what a "big ship" was, Wei Bo deliberately left it open.

After passing Wutong Mountain, it is not far from Shenxiu Mountain. There is only Baolu Mountain in the middle, which is named after Chen Ping'an, and Niujiao Mountain, which was bought by a monk from Nanjian Kingdom. Niujiao Mountain is not high, but the mountain looks very steep.

Dunhou, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, buildings are stretching one after another.

Wei Bo jumped off the black snake's back, asked Chen Ping'an to get down, and then ordered the black snake to stay at the foot of the mountain and not move.

A plaque with three characters "Bao Fu Zhai" hangs on the archway at the foot of the mountain, shining with golden light.

Wei Bo is an expert inside, and said as he walked: "This is both a pawn shop and an antique shop. You can find everything. You can sell anything and buy anything. As long as the price is agreed upon, you can pay and deliver. The founder was originally a

The poor wild monk could only carry a bag and a bunch of rags around, buying and selling to earn the difference. After he became famous, he simply took the name Baofengzhai. Niujiaoshan was their branch, and antiques were sold in each building.

There are different types of treasures. The buildings are almost complete now, but only a small part of the goods have been transported. It should wait until the Wutong Mountain Ferry is completed before large-scale transportation can be carried out."

Up and down Niujiao Mountain, whether it was the powerful manager of Baofengzhai or the casual cultivator who came here for sightseeing, after seeing the man in white who was about to become the great god of Dali Mountain, they were respectful and polite to the point of being flattering and humble. So the journey was smooth.

There was no resistance, and a graceful woman even came out of Baofengzhai to personally lead them and explain the treasures in each treasure building.

Chen Ping'an's eyes were opened. Inside the "Yiyi Building", there was a special Qingci poetry jar, inscribed with Qingci articles from Taoist classics. There were seven of them, the tall ones were about half a person's height, and the short ones were

It is also as long as an arm, and it is said that it contains spring water, all of which is drawn from one of the top 100 famous springs in the world. The spring water is as clear as jade and flows like a rainbow, which is most suitable for making tea and entertaining guests.

"A person can live without grain for a day, but he cannot live without water for a day. Water is the essence of food. That's why people in the world say that when you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do, and drinking water comes first."

"In our Baofuzhai, we have specialized monks to accurately measure the spring water in various places. We use small square buckets made of silver and a small scale to weigh it. It must be light, clear, and sweet. Only when it has the three qualities can it be stored in these Qingci jars.

I dare not say it is nectar and jade liquid, but it can ensure that the spiritual energy is abundant and every kilogram of spring water will never flow into the world."

Although the woman is not very beautiful, her voice is gentle, like the tinkling of spring water, and is pleasant to the ear.

In the "Spectacular Building", as soon as they stepped across the threshold, they saw a set of scroll screens as tall as a person, with twelve stunning beauties painted on them, all of whom were stunning beauties who chose a continent or a country, from paintings.

What is even more surprising in the writings of the holy hand is that the beauties are vividly alive, some are lowering their heads to play the piano, their sleeves are like flowing water, some are holding their chins and staring at them, or some are holding fans to flutter at butterflies, which is charming and charming.

At a glance, the screen is full of stunning colors, each with its own merits and beauty.

There is also a climate screen painted with the twenty solar terms. The Waking of Insects is a scene of lightning and thunder. During the Qingming Festival, there is light rain. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon hangs in the sky, shining brightly.

All kinds of fantastic ideas made onlookers unable to help but marvel at the case.

Because Wei Bo was there, the woman made an exception and took Chen Ping'an and the others to visit the private spiritual garden. At that time, there were also farm monks with exotic flowers and herbs working in the fields. The cultivation of the spiritual garden not only allowed for the sale of rare flowers, plants and trees.

, it can also retain the luck of the landscape, and at the same time it can be pleasing to the eye, so it has always been favored by the immortal forces.

After seeing these incredible scenes, Chen Pingan understood what it means to be truly rich.

After thanking and saying goodbye to the woman who had never reported her family name, and walking down the mountain and out of the archway building, Wei Bo first asked Chen Ping'an to turn his head to look at Niujiao Mountain, stretched out his hand, snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Look again, what's the difference?"

."

Chen Ping'an looked intently and found that the entire Niujiao Mountain was shrouded in a layer of bluish-gray mist, with traces of snow-white lightning passing by from time to time.

Wei Bo explained: "This is the so-called mountain-protecting formation. This formation on Niujiao Mountain comes from the famous "Steaming Clouds and Dreams" in the formation. It was originally a landscape painting by a Confucian saint, and has been continuously deduced by others.

After perfecting it, it finally became a formation diagram. In addition to protecting the mountain and resisting attacks, it also has the function of placing Feng Shui stones to resist evil and evil spirits and turn turbid air into clean air."

Chen Pingan sighed: "It's really amazing."

Wei Bo smiled and said, "Did you suddenly feel that you were too poor?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I don't feel poor, but I feel not rich."

Wei Bo laughed heartily, and the group jumped onto the back of the black snake again and continued to Shenxiu Mountain.

Wei Bo told Chen Ping'an that there is no real gold and silver in transactions on the mountain, but it is basically just an amount. Because unless both parties have rare and rare square-inch objects, it will be too troublesome. This magic weapon is 800,000 taels of gold.

What to do? Converting it into silver is destined to be even more exaggerated. Therefore, large-scale transactions on the mountain will have special "coins".

They soon saw Shenxiu Mountain up close.

Shenxiu Mountain is too high.

If there were not another Piyun Mountain, this mountain would be the tallest and tallest and most beautiful, enough to overwhelm the other mountains.

Chen Pingan asked: "Is Miss Ruan on the mountain?"

Wei Bo shook his head and said: "Not here."

There is a steep mountain wall in Shenxiu Mountain. Covered by the rolling sea of ​​clouds, there are four characters engraved on it, "The sky is open and the gods are beautiful".

Unless he is flying in the wind, even if the Qi practitioner looks up, he may not be able to see his true appearance.

Because of the rules set by Master Ruan at the beginning, no practitioner within the jurisdiction of Longquan County was allowed to control the wind and sky without permission. This caused a lot of trouble for the Qi practitioners around Dali. It is not an exaggeration to say that there were complaints.

Back then, in the far north beyond Aquarius Continent, the mighty sword cultivators headed south and passed over the small town at that time, but they still lowered their altitude to show goodwill.

In addition to expressing recognition for the swordsmith Ruan Qiong, it is more about respecting the rules of this vast world.

This invisibly added a layer of power to Ruan Qiong. Among the sword cultivators who went to the Upside Down Mountain, there was more than one Land Sword Immortal. Even so, Ruan Qiong's status in the Great Li Dynasty increased, and some of them were already loud.

The minor objections completely disappeared.

In this world, once you become a mountain god, you can of course be very carefree and do not have to abide by many secular etiquette.

But don't forget the existence of the three Confucian university palaces, seventy-two academies, and nine majestic town towers.

Mountains, seas, demons, swordsmen, nine majestic town towers, everything can be suppressed.

Ruan Qiong's personal rules, even if he is from Fengxue Temple and is not a disciple of Confucianism, as long as they fit in with the larger rules and conform to the purpose of Confucianism, then the dominance of Confucianism will in turn be given to Ruan Qiong and ultimately help Ruan Qiong.

Qiong's little rules form a silent deterrent, and both parties complement each other and ultimately complement each other.

This is the great rule of heaven and earth established by the Li Sheng himself.

It cannot be seen or touched, but it is everywhere.

Wei Bo did not climb the mountain, but asked Black Snake to turn back the way he came, sat cross-legged, and said with emotion: "Just like here, on the territory of any dynasty, there are mountains, immortal mansions, gangs and sects, all on the mountain.

He is the head of the mountains and the dragon king in the water. Some kings regard him as a dynasty screen, and some emperors regard him as a separatist force that listens to announcements but does not listen to instructions. They are kings with different surnames and earth emperors. The tail cannot be lost, but it is hindered by the

The mountain is so powerful that we have to make mistakes. But in the final analysis, the fact that we can maintain a generally peaceful life on the mountain and down the mountain is due to the creation of the sage."

Chen Pingan sat next to Wei Bo and said softly: "These are too far away from me."

Wei Bo smiled and said, "It's far, far away, very close."

Chen Ping'an looked back at Shenxiu Mountain and murmured: "That's it."

————

In Mu Ping Alley, a young girl in Tsing Yi stood outside Chen Ping'an's ancestral home. Looking at the closed courtyard door, she looked at the Spring Festival couplets and the door god for a few times, then planned to turn around and go home.

Then three women walked over quickly, dragging two teenage children with them. When they saw the girl, they smiled and said, "Miss Xiuxiu is here too."

Ruan Xiu turned a deaf ear to it and ignored it. In fact, she was a little bored in her heart.

The women in the market didn't take it seriously. Although they didn't know who the girl's father, Master Ruan, who worked in the blacksmith shop, was, they generally knew how great Master Ruan was. There were a lot of mysterious gossips, and even the county magistrate followed him.

That man was an equal. It was not that they didn't believe him, but they were only willing to believe half of him.

It's just that I went to the two shops in Qilong Lane many times and interacted with girls a lot, so I changed from being anxious at the beginning to feeling at ease. I didn't think she had a bad temper, she just didn't have a smile on her face.

Ruan Xiu wanted to keep silent as usual, but she couldn't help it today. She looked at them and said coldly: "Just go to the store and buy things for free. I don't need to tell Chen Pingan and I will help you figure it out."

It’s on my own account, but why do you still come to Chen Ping’an’s house to cause trouble?”

"Oh, my dear Xiu Xiu, you don't know our relationship with Xiao Ping An. We women, we had a good relationship with his mother when we were young, so after Xiao Ping An's parents left,

Speaking of other things, there were only two funerals, and none of us had the money and ability to contribute. Later, little Ping An was left alone. If it weren't for the help of us kind-hearted neighbors, the older child would have starved to death long ago.

How could we be as rich and wealthy as we are today..."

"That's right, when Xiaopingan saw me, he had to call me "Second Aunt". Back then, when I was eating at my house, I was a big fish and couldn't bear to eat it myself, and I couldn't bear to eat it for my children. I had to put it into Xiaopingan's bowl.

This kind of kindness is worthless, but now Xiaopingan has become prosperous. Not only does it have two big shops, but it is said that there are several shops on the top of the mountain. You can't burn bridges across the river, right? Don't miss the kindness of us aunties.

Right? How unconscionable would it be to do that..."

"Miss Xiuxiu, we know that you come from a wealthy family, and we are also polite to you. You can't deny it, right? But Miss Xiuxiu, you really don't know the difficulties of our poor families. The children have to go to school, over there at Longyao

The recession is bad again, and we are suffering. Besides, we are not asking for tens of thousands of taels of silver from Xiao Ping An. It is not the New Year. Let the children ask Xiao Ping An, the elder brother, for dozens of taels of new year's money.

Miss Xiuxiu, please tell your conscience that this is not too much, right?"

Ruan Xiu looked cold and said directly, "I think it's too much."

The atmosphere in the chattering alley suddenly became extremely awkward.

A woman slapped her thigh and said, "Miss Xiuxiu, you can't say that. After Xiao Ping An left the town last time, Miss Xiuxiu asked someone to give us some thank you gifts. We don't speak out of conscience.

, Yes, I collected some things, but those things can't be exchanged for copper coins. Poor people live a life with no money to buy rice and can't open the pot. How can we live? It's okay for us adults, but the child is still so young, Xiuxiu.

Girl, take a look, my son’s arms are not as thin as those of Xiao Ping’an back then, how can you bear it?”

Ruan Xiu nodded with a straight face: "I can't bear it."

The women were all stunned.

A woman came back to her senses and said softly: "If we don't talk to her, we'll talk to Chen Ping'an. If he has the nerve to pick at Sosou, we'll poke his spine to see if he still has a reputation."

The other two women nodded, this method is definitely feasible. One of them was very happy, and laughed in a low voice: "Chen Pingan is most afraid of others saying that his parents are not good. This is the most effective."

"roll!"
