After Chen Pingan stayed for the rest of the night, when he returned to the ancient temple, neither Xu Yuanxia nor Zhang Shanfeng asked anything, and Chen Pingan didn't say anything either.
All night long until dawn, Chen Ping'an faced the bonfire, the firelight shining on his slightly fair face, not knowing what he was thinking.
It was dawn, and the bearded man was still sleeping soundly. After Zhang Shanfeng packed up his bedding, he found that Chen Pingan was not in the ancient temple. When he walked out of the gate, he found that for the first time, Chen Pingan did not practice boxing, but was holding a locust wood sword and motionless.
When Chen Ping'an heard the footsteps, he turned around and said with a smile: "Are you up?"
Zhang Shanfeng nodded, spread his arms, and stretched his muscles. The early morning mountain breeze was blowing, and it was still a bit chilly. Zhang Shanfeng took off the peach wood sword from behind and began to practice a set of swordsmanship that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. He moved around and followed the sword.
Walk, with a light body.
Zhang Shanshanfeng's arms are as long as an ape's, and his sword moves are smoothly connected. From the perspective of martial arts masters, he is born to be a good swordsman. Of course, in the eyes of the immortals on the mountain, I'm afraid there is no such thing, and more emphasis is placed on it.
"Nursing Qi and refining Qi" means that a person can climb a mountain quickly enough to be able to stand out among his peers, and so fast that even an old guy who is hundreds of years old can't catch up with him.
After Zhang Shanfeng sheathed his sword, Chen Ping'an was still holding the sword, hesitant, but unable to deliver a sword.
During breakfast, the three of them planned to go to the Jianshui Villa founded by Song Yushao. They would take a short rest and find out the specific location of the Xianjia Ferry in Shushui Country before setting off.
The villa is more than 700 miles away from here, and there are mostly majestic mountains. Fortunately, after the summer, the wind was calm and the sun was beautiful. The three of them hurried on, and soon arrived at the jurisdiction of Jianshui Villa. The villa was built at the foot of a beautiful mountain.
, before going to the villa, they passed through a prosperous town with endless traffic. Chen Ping'an went alone to buy wine to put into the sword gourd. Xu Yuanxia went to the bookstore. Zhang Shanfeng was responsible for buying dry food and dried meat. If he had enough money, he would use the prescription.
, the bearded man fell in love with an extremely high-priced unique copy of Shushui Kingdom's former dynasty. It was in excellent condition, but he had no choice but to be cash-strapped. He regretted that he was too thin-skinned in Rouge County, so he should be as generous as Chen Ping'an.
Fang accepted the five thousand taels of silver.
Since giving a penny stumped the hero, the three of them continued on their way to Jianshui Villa. Zhang Shanfeng mentioned the "Grain Rain Money" that was worth more than Xiaoshu Money, saying that he had never seen it in his life.
Once, I just heard of its name. A small summer coin is equivalent to a thousand snow coins. A grain rain coin with rare material is worth hundreds of small summer coins. The earthly immortals in the golden elixir realm and Yuanying realm all use it.
This kind of coin is used to trade magic weapons. The most important thing is Guyu money, which is a great tonic for Qi practitioners. It can quickly replenish Qi and restore vitality.
During this period, Xu Yuanxia reminded the two of them that if the harvest from slaying demons in Rouge County is not beneficial to their current practice, it is best to find a store on the mountain. Even if it is discounted, as long as it is not sold too cheap, they should buy one or two pieces.
The spiritual tools needed to benefit your practice are safe in your pocket. This is true for money, but it is even more true for real realm improvement.
Zhang Shanfeng had already made up his mind about this, and said he wanted to buy a few of the coveted attack talismans. If the thunder talisman was the best, he also hoped to find a reasonably priced magic sword. Although the peach wood sword can also subdue ghosts and evil objects,
However, due to the weakness of the peach wood itself, if it encounters the extremely powerful Shanze Demon, it will definitely suffer disaster.
Chen Pingan muttered a little, of course he wished that there were thousands of magic weapons in the world that could only go into his pockets but never come out.
And he is different from Zhang Shanfeng. The foundation of his life is the physique and boxing skills of a pure martial artist. He can get close to him, which is invisible defense. There are also two young ancestors in the sword gourd. They can be said to have endless killing power, so for the time being, there is no
Thinking of selling the small items captured, or bartering with Qi practitioners.
Arriving at the bustling Jianshui Villa, the three of them found themselves in an awkward situation. There was an old steward Chu in Jianshui Villa who was doing his job well, but the concierge and the steward of the foreign government who were in charge of entertaining guests, as soon as they heard that the three strangers had opened their mouths.
Seeing Old Ancestor Chu, although his face didn't show anything, he had a lot of legitimate reasons to shirk it. You must know that Old Ancestor Chu is nearly a hundred years old. He is a meritorious veteran who conquered the world with the old village owner. He has long ignored worldly affairs.
, it can even be said that after the old village owner handed over Zhuangzi to his eldest grandson, he never saw the end of the dragon. He often went out and did not return to Zhuangzi for three to five years. The highly respected ancestor Chu was the second owner of Jianshui Villa.
, who can see it whenever they want? When our Jianshui Villa is a street shop in a small town?
So the three of them were rejected. Zhang Shanfeng asked Xu Yuanxia if he could give him some money so that the manager could be accommodating.
Xu Yuanxia smiled bitterly and said: "For people in the world, especially those who are leaders in the world like Jianshui Villa, if you spend money casually, you are slapping others in the face, and it will only be counterproductive."
Zhang Shanfeng smiled and said: "It really doesn't work. Brother Xu, you can show off your sword skills at the gate. The three of us will become your guests immediately."
The rivers and lakes of Aquarius Continent are actually not deep, and are not as deep as Beiju Luzhou, where top swordsmen emerge in large numbers. Xu Yuanxia, ​​a pure martial artist in the four realms, is already a master who walks sideways in the rivers and lakes of a small country like Caiyi Country, Shushui Country.
, and he had a magical weapon at his disposal, which was even more powerful. If he hadn't been sneak-attacked by the "mammy" who looked like a girl in the ruined ancient temple, but had fought openly and with all his strength, Xu Yuanxia might not have lost to that person.
Nanny, one of the four evil spirits of Shushui Kingdom.
Xu Yuanxia wiped her beard with the palm of her hand, feeling that it was really not possible, so she had to make this last resort.
Zhang Shanfeng suddenly pulled their sleeves. Xu Yuanxia and Chen Ping'an turned to look. A huge carriage with luxurious decorations slowly stopped, with overwhelming momentum, and a girl and a burly man stepped out. The girl was
The familiar face was the devil who planned evil in the ancient temple. At that time, she told Song Yushao, the Sword Master of Shushui Kingdom, that she wanted to visit Jianshui Villa in person. Unexpectedly, she actually came, without any ambiguity.
The strong man was nine feet tall, with bare hands and an astonishing arrogance. Wherever he went, wealthy people from all walks of life, martial arts masters and martial arts celebrities took the initiative to give way.
Chen Pingan and the others saw the girl devil, and she also saw them. After saying something to the strong man, she walked straight to the three of them, gracefully gave a blessing, and then said with a smile: "Three heroes and good men, don't fight.
We don’t know each other, this time we are visiting Jianshui Villa, why don’t we both meet at the wine table, smile and let go of our grudges?”
After Xu Yuanxia, ​​Chen Pingan and Zhang Shanfeng looked at each other, they turned around and said with a smile: "Okay."
Soon there was a rickety old man from the Villa who went out to greet the girl and the strong man, his surname was Chu. It turned out that the strong man had paid his respects before coming to the door, and the Villa did not dare to neglect them.
Xu Yuanxia took this opportunity to tell the old man that Song Yushao's words were spoken by the old man surnamed Chu, the manager of Jianzhuang. When he heard the tone, he was sure that it was the old man's tone. Compared with the cautious treatment of young girls and strong men, Xu Yuanxia
There are many more sincere and enthusiastic friends in the world who can catch the eye of the old village leader. At this juncture, the more the better, and the young village leader may be able to secure his position as leader!
After entering the village, they walked through the corridors and around the screen wall. The Jianzhuang was built in a unique way. Manager Chu personally arranged the three of them in a single-family courtyard with beautiful scenery. The girl and the strong man happened to stay in a neighboring courtyard.
Chen Pingan heard the sound of water before entering the yard. When he asked if there was a stream nearby, he found out that behind the yard, walking along the stone road, not too close to here, there was a large waterfall flowing down, which was the sword.
Water Villa is famous as a scenic spot in Shushui Country. When the weather clears after the rain, there will be a rainbow hanging in the sky. The scene is magnificent and breathtaking.
Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng didn't want to go out and walk for the time being, so Chen Pingan went to watch the waterfall alone.
Zhang Shanfeng was practicing swordsmanship in the yard. Xu Yuanxia sat on the stone bench and laughed at herself: "Well, I am a martial artist in the four realms and can't hear the sound of the waterfall. You kid has sharp ears."
After walking for a while, the old man surnamed Chu stopped, turned his head and looked towards the waterfall in the distance in the mountains, and said to himself: "Is this young man with a sword on his back a great master who can rejuvenate his youth?"

Longquan County has welcomed a motorcade, which is definitely a rare visitor.
The people in the convoy came from the Sui Dynasty. Although the carriages were simple and there was no fanfare, it still caused a big storm in the center of the Dali Temple. In fact, among the welcoming team from Dali, there were two people from the Zhuguo Kingdom, named Yuan and Cao.
There are also the Minister of Rites, who was born in Shanya Academy, and several big bosses in the capital. Without exception, they are all direct relatives of Emperor Da Li. The county governor Wu Yuan is among them, so he is really inconspicuous.
The backbone of the Sui Dynasty was a little-known old man. He only knew his surname was Gao, which was the same as the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. He only looked at his appearance and bearing, and he looked more like a storyteller who traveled all over the world. He had no wealth or arrogance and was surrounded by people.
There was a young girl accompanying him. The other two carriages were occupied by the prince Gao Xuan and the eunuch in Mangfu, as well as a noble but not very high-ranking minister from the Ministry of Etiquette.
After the two groups of people met at a post station, they just had a simple meal of tea and coarse meals, and then hurried to Piyun Mountain, which was newly named Beiyue.
Deputy Mountain Chief Cheng Shuidong, a god and an old dragon patiently waited for the large group at the foot of the mountain.
The three parties gathered together and climbed the mountain one by one.
The Song clan of Great Li and the Gao clan of Great Sui formed an alliance in Piyun Mountain!
In this "Mountain Alliance", the only two remaining dynasties in the north of East Aquarius Continent will sign a century-old offensive and defensive alliance.
When the two sides formed an alliance according to Confucian etiquette, two young men of the same age stood face to face. They were also princes. One was named Song Jixin. Behind him stood the absent-minded maid Zhigui. The other was named Gao Xuan. Behind him was a white-haired girl.
The python-clad Diao Temple stood respectfully with hands solemn.
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "We meet again."
Song Jixin had a very bad impression of this Sui nobleman whom he met for the first time in Mu Ping Lane, so he did not speak.
Gao Xuan said with a sad face: "Feng Shui has changed, and now you are more arrogant than me."
Song Jixin sneered and said nothing.
Gao Xuan turned to look at the slim girl and smiled: "Chen Pingan and I are very good friends now. When he was in Sui Dynasty, whenever he mentioned his hometown, he would often mention you."
Zhigui rolled his eyes rudely.
Gao Xuan seemed to remember something and asked Song Jixin, "When I bought this maid from you, if I remember correctly, you offered me ten thousand taels of gold. Is it still the same price now?"
Song Jixin then said: "Let me tell you what the price of the whole Sui Dynasty is. Maybe I will buy it when I have money."
Gao Xuan clicked his tongue and said: "A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Now your tone is really scary."
Song Jixin sneered: "Are you scared to death?"
Gao Xuan curled his lips and stopped arguing with this guy. He turned to look at the majestic Beiyue Mountain Temple of Dali and said softly: "The Beiyue Temple is here, where is Nanyue?"
————
In the east mountain of the capital where the Cliff Academy of the Sui Dynasty is located, there is also a more hidden affiliated mountain alliance. Although it seems to be of low standard and no news has been leaked to the outside world, there is great tension inside and outside the capital of the Sui Dynasty. From the emperor to the six yamen,
As well as up and down the mountain, the outer pine is tight and the inner is tight, keeping a close eye on the cliff academy. Fortunately, the deputy director of the academy, Mao Xiaodong, is like an old hen guarding his chickens. He strongly requested the Sui Dynasty court not to delay the academy's development because of this matter.
As a result, the students in the Jue Dao section of the academy did not notice any abnormalities due to normal teaching.
The reason why the Sui Dynasty is so turbulent is no wonder that the Sui Dynasty is making a fuss out of a molehill. It is actually the person responsible for signing the Dongshan Covenant in Da Li this time, who has a great background.
Cui Chan, the Great Li State Master.
