(A lot of people have caught colds recently, so please pay attention to your health. Please wear more clothes when it’s cold in spring~)
Chen Ping'an and the others were still forcibly detained by the county governor for three days.
After this turmoil, Liu Gaohua seemed to have changed. He was no longer as depressed as when they first met him. He often went to his father for advice, including moral articles and economic affairs. He asked whatever came to mind, but Liu Gaohua still didn't want to see him.
This son, Liu Gaohua, would feel guilty and back down if his father showed impatience for the first time. Anyway, he had annoyed Taishou Liu very much in the past two days.
Most of the time, Liu Gaohua still sticks to the bearded man and Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng, and then he keeps an eye on the poor scholar Liu Chicheng as if guarding against thieves. He doesn't mind that this poor scholar from Baishui country marries his eldest sister, but he is treating his sister
Before marrying into the family in a sedan chair, Liu Gaohua wanted to take advantage of her, but Liu Gaohua would not agree to it.
Since they were friends who shared weal and woe, Liu Gaohua, who was a son of an official, was not so particular about restraint, and regarded some of the temple affairs and official affairs of the Caiyi Kingdom as side dishes, and told Chen Ping'an and the others in private.
This disaster in Rouge County has affected thousands of households. Although the big monsters have disappeared one after another, either suppressed and killed, or hiding in hiding, the impact on the common people of Rouge County is far-reaching and long-lasting, and people are panic-stricken.
Many wealthy and powerful families also began to secretly prepare to move out of the county and go to the prefectural city or even the capital city of Caiyi. Even if they did not move their families, these wealthy and powerful families thought that they would never leave their eggs in the city.
In a basket, this is the common sense of the world.
It is said that after the imperial court of Caiyi Kingdom learned the news, some people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, who were not big officials, slowly left the yamen in the capital and went south to Rouge County, saying they were investigating the case and appeasing people. But in
Liu Taishou, who has been in the officialdom for half his life, knows that this is just an act of His Majesty the Emperor. The Ministry of Household silver allocated for disaster relief is not even a tael of silver. Rouge County is a mess, and the official residence has silver.
Not enough, and he is not the kind of unscrupulous official who exacts excessive taxes, so he has to rely on his long beard as the county governor and his old face to ask for help. How can he be included in the local county annals, write articles and erect monuments?
For future generations to look up to, and rely on these to ask for money from the county magistrates and gentry in the city. Moreover, the money matter must be finalized before the imperial envoys from the two yamen in the capital enter the county. Don't leave it to the emperor's heart.
Only by adding more trouble, not to mention causing trouble to the Hubu Yamen, which was already having a hard time, could he keep his title as a prefect.
Life has ups and downs. In officialdom, shopping malls, and on the path of spiritual practice, the ups and downs of someone's life may be the ups and downs of someone else's life.
For example, this time Chen Ping'an and the others took action, whether it was out of righteous indignation or compassion, it was probably because a good man was rewarded. The bearded swordsman and the Taoist Zhang Shanfeng finally combined and each gained a lot.
Xu Yuanxia got a new magic weapon, a short sword left behind by Mi Laomo's disciple. The original owner was a genuine member of the devil's path. She never thought that after the short sword was unsheathed, it would also be sharp and brilliant, without any traces of it.
The evil atmosphere. Then there is General Ma's deputy general, the armored warrior. After two battles, they hit it off and "reported the loss" of a top-notch military bow. They secretly presented them to Xu Yuanxia along with five special Mohist arrows stored in the official residence.
.
Xu Yuanxia was unwilling to accept the words "military law is like a mountain" at first. It was hard to say elsewhere in Caiyi Country. Judging from General Ma's leadership of the army, it was probably unambiguous. After the deputy general knew his concerns, he laughed and talked with the general.
The bearded hero was really compatible with his temperament, so he simply revealed the secret, saying that it was General Ma who had agreed to this. At first, he only dared to ask for an arrow, but it was General Ma who first communicated with Liu Taishou and said hello.
With a wave of his hand, the official document submitted to the Ministry of War to report the battle damage changed from sixteen to twenty-one arrows.
Zhang Shanfeng collected two spiritual weapons that were in poor condition. One was badly damaged and was a white jade wine cup as thin as a porcelain piece. It could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, and eventually condense it into a grain full of spiritual energy every half a decade.
When Zhang Shanfeng put the dewdrops into his pocket, the wine glass had a chip, which must have affected the speed of Qi condensation to a certain extent.
There is also a pair of legendary Qingshenshan bamboo chopsticks, because one chopstick is engraved with "Qingshenshan" and the other is engraved with "Shenxiao Bamboo". At least at first glance, it looks like an old item, but as for
Whether it is really taken from Qingshen Mountain, I don’t know whether it is true or not, but bamboo chopsticks do contain abundant spiritual energy.
No matter what, they are the spiritual weapons that all Qi practitioners in the lower five realms dream of.
Chen Ping'an did not take out the cyan wooden box and the gold and silver body fragments. It was a matter of great importance and good and bad were interdependent. These things were not used to catch the mountain turtle or the snake-catching eagle in his hometown town.
Having fun with friends like Liu Xianyang. Chen Pingan just took out the charred piece of ebony and the white bowl with the true shape of the Five Mountains painted on it.
Xu Yuanxia didn't see the doorway to Baiwan, but she marveled at the heavy piece of wood, saying that it was lightning-struck wood. It was not formed by ordinary lightning striking trees. It must be one of the special five thunders that contains the power of heaven.
, and the trees struck by lightning must survive and cannot be dead wood, because dead wood cannot retain the mysterious and mysterious power of thunder. Xu Yuanxia weighed the charcoal-looking ebony in her hand and said with a smile: "Chen
Ping An, do you believe it or not, as long as you give it to a farmer’s Qi practitioner, they will help you turn into a vibrant sapling?"
Chen Pingan understood immediately.
It’s a valuable item!
The county governor's office also symbolically presented five hundred taels of silver to these "heroes and righteous men" as a reward for their merits.
The bearded man didn't want to accept it, and neither did the Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng. Only Chen Pingan accepted it. For this reason, Zhang Shanfeng teased Chen Pingan for being a money-crazy, but Chen Pingan smiled and didn't care.
The boy in the Zhao Mansion was named Zhao Shuxia, and the girl was named Luan Luan. Now, as a blessing in disguise, they both left their lowly status and followed the old man nicknamed "Mr. Fisherman", and the girl Luan Luan became the old man's close disciple.
Chen Pingan practiced walking in the courtyard of his residence every morning. The boy squatted at the door of the courtyard, holding his chin and watching carefully.
Chen Ping'an also turned a blind eye. This was something in the Shanshan Boxing Manual. He didn't regard the boxing manual as his own, let alone casually teach other people's boxing techniques.
But the boy Zhao Shuxia was determined to "steal his skills from his master", and Chen Pingan actually thought it was not a bad thing.
This kid has a good heart.
So Chen Ping'an deliberately slowed down the six-step walk, over and over again.
On the last day, the sun shines high. The beginning of summer has arrived, and all things have grown.
In the dusk, Chen Ping'an said to the boy: "Under Zhao Shu, can you practice that walking stance for a hundred times seriously..."
Chen Pingan quickly changed his words, "Practice a hundred thousand times?"
The boy nodded vigorously.
Chen Pingan warned: "You can't be fast, you can only be steady, and you can't make mistakes every time, and then add one more time at a time. Within three to five years, practice 100,000 punches. Six steps will only count as one punch."
.Remember, if you feel that you have gone astray at any step, you have to do it all over again without any ambiguity."
Chen Ping'an either doesn't speak or acts like a mother-in-law. This should be familiar to the little boy in green and the girl in pink skirt who are now in Luo Luoshan.
Chen Pingan thought carefully and continued: "Practicing boxing is... a very stupid thing. Zhao Shuxia, you can be smart. Of course you are indeed very smart and much better than me, but the more stupid you become in boxing.
The better. You know?”
The boy's eyes were determined, and he clenched his fists and said, "I know! Only by enduring hardship can you become a master!"
This talented, hard-working boy really knows.
Chen Ping'an was amused and asked: "What do you want to do when you become a master?"
The boy blurted out without thinking: "Buy Luanluan a lot of good clothes that will keep you warm in winter!"
Chen Pingan asked again: "What about yourself?"
The boy wiped his mouth and said longingly: "I'll have a full meal every time!"
Chen Pingan stopped his smile and frowned slightly, "That's it?"
The boy came from a poor background and was very good at observing people's emotions. He felt a little embarrassed at the moment, fearing that this great benefactor would think he was worthless, but he really didn't have any distracting thoughts. The boy never wanted to deceive Chen Pingan, so he lowered his head and said guiltily: "
It’s really gone.”
"How can I have enough food?"
Chen Ping'an's deliberately serious face suddenly softened a lot. He rubbed the child's head and joked: "Every meal must have meat!"
The boy suddenly grinned in amusement.
Taoist priests Zhang Shanfeng, Liu Gaohua, and Liu Chicheng were squatting side by side on the corridor chairs.
Luan Luan was held in the arms of sister Liu Gaohua, a little far away from the three elders.
After seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help laughing.
This chance meeting, although there were twists and turns, was easy to get together and easy to break up, so it was not easy.
At noon that day, the scholar Liu Chicheng left the county town with Chen Ping'an and the others. Liu Gaohua, his eldest sister, Zhao Shuxia and Luan Luan, and the fisherman who was a Confucian scholar all came to see him off and sent them outside the city.
There is a pavilion on the roadside five miles away, with willow trees lingering near it.
Liu Chicheng and Miss Liu said goodbye under the shade of a tree. They did not know what words of love they said. Although the woman was sad, she also smiled a little, and her eyes clearly showed a lot of thoughts and expectations.
Chen Ping'an found Mr. Fisherman alone and handed him five hundred taels of silver notes and a golden talisman. He said that these were apprenticeship gifts to help Zhao Shuxia and Luan Luan, and begged him to accept them. The old man was also open-minded.
He accepted it without any hesitation and said with a smile that Chen Pingan could rest assured that he would definitely treat the two children Shuxia and Luanluan as his own and would never wrong them. Chen Pingan finally clasped his fists and said: "Mr.
The wind makes the mountains high and the rivers long.”
These are Chen Ping's words from the bottom of his heart.
So for the first time, Chen Ping'an spoke in a literate manner, but without any embarrassment.
The old gentleman held a child in one hand and watched the four of them walk away. He chuckled and said, "You are a true countryman who is both immortal and chivalrous."
Liu Gaohua gently pushed the eldest sister's arm with his elbow and asked with a smile: "Sister, what kind of ecstasy soup did Liu Chicheng pour into you, so that you can hold back your tears?"
The woman smiled and said: "Liu Lang said that when he becomes famous, he will definitely come back to marry me. When the time comes, he must have a good relationship with his father-in-law and let us have a good son-in-law at the wine table."
Liu Gaohua grinned, "Do you really believe the nonsense of scholars?"
