Chapter 233 The dust has settled(1/3)
(The cold is finally gone, I kept everyone waiting.)
A voice with respect and awe sounded from behind, "Mr. Chen, what is going on?"
It turned out that Governor Liu had come to his senses.
Regarding landscape gods and demons, Liu Gaohua, the son of Liu Taishou, could only know a little bit about it through literati's writings and novels about monsters. Liu Taishou was not the same. After all, he was a high-ranking official in charge of the people's livelihood in a county, and Rouge County was also the first in Caiyi.
In large counties, there are many secrets and secrets. In fact, Taishou Liu has already known a lot of inside information. At least the prefectures and counties, the Chenghuang Pavilion and the mountain gods and water gods, Taishou Liu must be clear about it. There are dedicated people in the court's etiquette department who will explain the details to these local officials.
Mysterious doorways.
Chen Ping'an calmed down a little, and turned around to look at Liu Taishou. Chen Ping'an was about to speak but stopped.
His victory was thrilling. In fact, after the battle in the City God's Hall and the drawing of talismans on the girl, his body was already at the end of its strength. Although he controlled two flying swords with special origins, he did not need to use the so-called spiritual energy of Qi warriors. This is true.
Because he "asked" the two young ancestors who raised the sword gourd to help him conquer demons and eliminate demons, they were connected with each other and guided by divine will. Therefore, Madam Snake and Scorpion's trump card, the carefully prepared "Snowy Pass", had no effect on Chen Ping'an.
It's meaningless, but asking the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month will still consume Chen Ping'an's energy and mental energy. If the assassin who calls himself Dou, who is not scared off, Chen Ping'an will most likely have his head removed.
Or simply lose both sides, then not only will Chen Ping'an's bridge of immortality be broken, but even the path of pure martial arts will probably become shattered from now on because it damages the essence of the body and soul.
Chen Ping'an didn't know how to explain it for a while. There were too many secrets involved. Fortunately, Taishou Liu saw that the immortal master had a troubled expression and stopped asking further. There are actually many rules and taboos for the immortals on the mountain to walk in the world. Taishou Liu, this
You still have some common sense, as long as you make sure that the young swordsman in front of you is a "family member" and not a friend of your son Liu Gaohua? That's enough!
Accompanying Taishou Liu to exchange a few polite words, Chen Pingan turned around and walked towards the old man. He knelt down to help the kind-hearted Qi practitioner feel his pulse. The pulse was stable, so there should be no big problem. Once the effect of the "heavy snow covering the pass" wears off, it will soon be over.
You will wake up soon. Chen Pingan suddenly raised his head and saw the little girl blinking her big eyes, full of curiosity.
A pair of watery eyes with natural yin and yang eyes, guided by the Yang Qi Lantern Talisman made of gold, are currently overflowing with a faint golden brilliance.
Chen Pingan smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on her face and comforted her: "It's okay. Does it still hurt?"
The corners of the girl's mouth are curved, and two shallow dimples appear on her cheeks.
Chen Pingan helped the old man up, put him on a chair, and then walked towards the door. Liu Taishou thought that it would be best to stay with the sword immortal now, so he followed Chen Pingan out of the threshold of the main hall. Chen Pingan walked to Mrs. Snake and Scorpion.
Next to her body, from the plain white cotton bag around her waist, a small pen washer made of pink porcelain was found. Inside, coiled was a small white snake, no more than an inch long, extremely slender, and it was vomiting crazily at the sky with its head raised.
The letter is just full of lust, and there is also a dark scorpion lying sickly on the ground. If you look closely, its body is like an ink-colored pipa.
Chen Ping'an's mind was slightly moved. It was a fool's dream to control the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to kill powerful enemies, but it was not difficult to let them come out and flaunt their majesty.
On the first day of the new year, it turned into a flash of snow-white rainbow light, swept out the sword gourd, and went straight into the antique small brush wash. It hovered over the heads of the two little things. It made the little white snake tremble in fear, and its slender body clung to the inner wall of the brush wash.
The little black scorpion even holds its head in an anthropomorphic shape. It is slowly circling and flying in the pen wash on the first day of the year, like a military general inspecting the station, full of momentum.
At this moment, Taishou Liu no longer had the power of a county magistrate or the elegance of a scholar. He just squatted with Chen Ping'an, tutting his tongue and saying in wonder: "The real sword is an immortal sword!"
Chen Ping'an stood up with a brush in hand and took a closer look. He discovered that in a circle near the bottom of the brush, there were tiny words like tadpoles slowly flowing around, like a group of lively and lovely children and green plums, happily circling around.
.
There are sixteen words in total, spring flowers and autumn moon, spring breeze and autumn trees, spring mountains and autumn stones, spring water and autumn frost.
Chen Pingan smiled knowingly and remembered the pair of sisters he met on the Kun boat. His elder sister, Chun Shui, had a steady temper, while his younger sister, Qiushi, was more childish. Chen Pingan couldn't help but look up to the southern sky. He didn't know that they were now in Laolong.
If they can meet again next time, Chen Ping'an would like to give them this beautiful little brush. It's a pity that there is spring water on the brush, but no autumn fruit. There is only one word difference, so it cannot be completed.
Come together, otherwise it would be better.
It's just that Chen Pingan doesn't know yet. It's a pity that it can't be perfect. It's a pity that it's a long-lasting regret.
Chen Ping'an said: "Mr. Liu, the deceased is a big one. Can you help bury this woman's body so that you can find a place to bury it in the future? I will pay for all expenses."
Liu Taishou smiled and said: "Such a trivial matter does not require Mr. Chen to worry about anything. Just leave everything to the county governor's office. It will be handled safely."
Liu Taishou suppressed his smile and said tentatively: "It's just that the demon is causing trouble this time. The old man named Huang has evil intentions. Is it possible that Mr. Chen needs to fly his sword to suppress the demon?"
Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said: "I need a big bucket filled with boiling hot water for now. As for the medicinal materials, I have them myself. I will soak them for at least a few hours to recuperate my body."
Liu Taishou nodded and said: "It should be, it should be. I will ask the servants of the mansion to take care of it. Mr. Chen's health is important. His health is important. The safety of hundreds of thousands of people in Rouge County now depends on Mr. Chen alone."
There really is no room for any mistakes on my body, so I will let someone else do it..."
Liu Taishou ran away quickly. The implication was that this senior local official of the fourth grade of Guozheng in Caiyi actually did not speak softly and was very straightforward. Of course Chen Pingan would understand it no matter how he was not involved in official circles, but he was both
I couldn't pat my chest to guarantee anything, and it wasn't easy to evade the situation, so I could only smile bitterly and say nothing.
Apart from giving away the sword, Chen Ping'an only had four words for everything, and it was within his power.
This is true for Jincheng Huang Shen Wen, and it is also true for this border official who is pastoral and guarding one side.
Finally, in an elegant and quiet room, Chen Pingan was soaked in a large medicine bucket. The medicinal materials were given by Wei Bo before leaving Longquan County. They were enough to be used three times. Of course Wei Bo could get more. This is actually the Beiyue Zhengshen.
The money was enough, and the treasures of heaven and earth in Niujiaoshan Baofengzhai were also enough, but Wei Bo did not prepare too much at once. At that time, he joked that it was a bad omen and he gave too many gifts. He was pure and did not care about others. He still hoped that Chen
Ping An's journey through the world has been smooth and smooth. The number of injuries he suffered was only three, so he treated it as a good fortune.
Before Chen Ping'an entered the room, he asked Taishou Liu to help keep the secret and not to reveal that he was the "Sword Immortal". Taishou Liu had a understanding look on his face and agreed readily, only without swearing.
At the same time, he handed the magic talisman to Liu Taishou, saying that it was to be returned to his friend Taoist Zhang Shan.
During the soaking process, Chen Pingan clearly noticed that there was an earth-shattering movement at the Chenghuang Pavilion in Rouge County City. However, since Chen Pingan couldn't care about it, he simply didn't think too much about it. He calmly warmed his energy and cooperated with Ah.
Professor Liang's sword energy stopped for 18 seconds, and Old Man Yang taught him the breathing and breathing skills. He concentrated in the bucket and pinched the Sword Furnace Technique on the Shaking Mountain Fist Book with both hands, like a dead tree in winter, quietly waiting for the spring breeze.
That night, the Rouge County continued to fight. On the one hand, the demon successfully activated the formation, and people everywhere were possessed by the demonic obstacles. The county governor's mansion was exhausted to deal with it. On the other hand, it was both a good thing and a disaster. The good thing is
A secret message came from General Ma from the east gate of the city. For some reason, the old demon Huang, who was wearing a fairy cloak, was with the three of them at the City God's Hall.
There was no stopping the attack. Magic weapons emerged one after another, and evil spells emerged one after another. Hundreds of mansions and buildings were damaged, and the people suffered heavy casualties. The elite cavalry of General Ma, who rushed to reinforce Rouge County from the station, could not be used with the cavalry.
Walking through the streets and alleys, they had to dismount and fight on foot. Everyone was wearing iron armor and holding strong bows and crossbows. However, against the four demon giants who practiced on the mountain, except for the dozens of special arrows in the inventory of the Sheriff's Mansion, they could
Posing a substantial threat, the other bow and crossbow arrows could not keep up with the four people's flying back and forth. Secondly, they were scattered and pushed away by a sleeve before they could get closer. There were even some arrows that were scattered by the four people.
During the break in the battle, the demon was caught and thrown back, killing and wounding more than eighty elites.
Even if you want to trade death for injury, you can't do it.
General Ma is truly worthy of being brave and not afraid of death. He is brave and good at fighting on the border battlefield. He also takes the lead against these practitioners. He and the deputy general found the right opportunity several times to catch a lone demon.
, joined forces to fight in close combat, and later made the two opposing sides become red-blooded. "Huang Lao Shen Xian" and Mi Lao Mo launched a fierce attack and made a truce for a while. General Ma and the deputy general were both injured. If not for dozens of pro-army soldiers who used Mo's special bows and arrows to intercept them.
, as well as several life-threatening guards, otherwise neither of them would be able to escape the battlefield alive and would die in this Rouge County city that night.
In the second half of the night, the "Huang Lao Immortal" was one against three, and Mi Lao Mo sprinkled a large amount of "white rice" on his head. Smoke suddenly appeared all over his body, his flesh and blood were blurred, and countless pieces of flesh and blood were burned out.
They had no choice but to sneak into the ground using the art of escaping. The three demons began to search for them. If they encountered county police officers and soldiers who entered the city who dared to block them, they would kill them without mercy.
At dawn, when Chen Pingan got dressed and walked out of the house, he found Liu Gaoxin sitting at the end of the corridor, taking a nap on a small stool.
The girl was a light sleeper and woke up soon. She was afraid that she would drool while sleeping, so she quickly turned her head and wiped her face.
In fact, it hadn't been long since she returned to the official residence. She changed into clean clothes and came here to sit as a doorkeeper.
Chen Pingan and her went to the main hall together to ask and answer questions. Chen Pingan had a general understanding of the trends in the county and city during this period. After hearing that the demons were having internal strife, it was a bit unbelievable. However, the fighting could not be fake, although he did not know the twists and turns.
Insider information, but as long as it is beneficial to Rouge County, it is still a good thing, but no one can control the extra accidental casualties.
In Cui Chan's words, there is a guy in the world who is the most powerful. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
At that time, the young national master, a young man in white clothes, deliberately betrayed him, but he had no choice but to show his charming eyes to the blind man. Chen Pingan was unwilling to answer the question, so the young Cui Chan had to talk to himself, gave the answer, and called it "the general trend."
.
This is the general trend.
Cui Chan also said that the decline and prosperity in this big field of the human world all depend on the direction of certain general trends.
Chen Ping'an was not interested at all at the time when Cui Chan was talking about these gods and goddesses because he didn't understand them at all. In fact, he was also afraid of what that guy said.
Regardless of Lin Shouyi, Li Huai, and Yu Lu Xie, they are not very close to Cui Chan, but in fact, deep down in their hearts, they should all have a considerable amount of awe and even admiration for this person.
Of course, the only girl in the red cotton-padded jacket, Li Baoping, is definitely not included in this list.
It was young Cui Chan who was afraid of her.
Through Liu Gaoxin's words, Chen Ping'an learned that wars were everywhere in the county. The martial arts masters and mountain monks, including Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng, would soon go out to suppress demonic obstacles in various places after returning for a short rest and bandaging their wounds. During this period, Xu Yuanxia and
Zhang Shanfeng also faced off against a young magic master, who should be one of the key figures in the magic formation. The two sides strangled for less than a cup of tea, and the situation was full of dangers. The bearded man was torn apart by his bare-handed opponent.
There was a big piece of meat on his shoulder. Later, Taoist Chongmiao arrived with reinforcements of brass warriors and was able to force back the vicious demon.
And for some reason, her sister and brother returned to the house with her master even though they had left the city safely. After closing the door in the study and talking to her father, the master took her eldest sister and second brother to the backyard to stay.
She seemed to have encountered something very strange, and for the time being she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. If it was good, everyone would be happy, if it was bad, everything would be over. In short, neither her father nor her master wanted the girl to
To be continued...
