The more than 200,000-mile journey along the Long Road is coming to an end after passing through the fields. The ferry is about to reach the southern end of the Long Road.
Now that he has performed 200,000 times, Chen Ping'an practiced boxing less deliberately, and became more relaxed and casual. After failing to buy wine that night, he went to a restaurant the next day and bought three jars of wine.
It's full of Yang Jian Gourd, it's extremely expensive, but the taste is acceptable, not as good as the aged wine of Jianshui Villa.
Then Chen Pingan took off the two talismans posted on the wall. They were both made of ordinary blue talisman paper. A tranquility talisman could help Chen Pingan calm down to a certain extent and avoid being disturbed by the outside world. Those Taoist temples at the foot of the mountain
, during fasting and ritual ceremonies, this symbol is often posted.
A talisman for removing dirt and dust. In the hot summer, dignitaries and celebrities from secular dynasties would go to Taoist temples to ask for this talisman from real people. It not only emits light spiritual energy, but also absorbs evil winds and various stains.
The study room becomes clear and clean.
Although the two talismans were both entry-level talismans in the "Authentic Book of Alchemy" and were of very low quality, they helped Chen Pingan a lot, otherwise the ferry would have had to fight Chen Pingan for two months.
Chen Pingan is sweating profusely while practicing boxing. Who dares to live in this room on the second floor next?
The two talismans were both disposable alchemy books. Now they had lost their aura and were almost the same as ordinary books and papers. Chen Ping'an was used to being cautious and did not want to reveal any clues. He did not even throw them into the river casually, but kept them in a small place.
After all, they are all heroes who have practiced boxing for 200,000 yuan. It is better to burn bridges than to cross rivers, so it is better to keep them as souvenirs.
Now Chen Pingan has roughly determined that the stack of talisman papers given to him by Li Xisheng, especially the golden material and ancient book pages, must be priceless and must be cherished even more. The simple truth is that a golden talisman paper
The pagoda demon-suppressing talisman of the paper talisman can easily defeat the civil and military officials of the Rouge County City God's Hall who have become demons, and the life-saving talisman at the bottom of the box of a top qigong practitioner from Shushui Kingdom, the golden armored warrior who "invited the gods",
That piece of talisman paper from the Taoist Talisman Sect, regardless of the quality of the talisman, just the quality of the talisman paper, may not be as good as the golden talisman paper presented by Li Xisheng.
Before disembarking, Chen Pingan had already cleaned up the room, carried the salute, returned the room wooden sign with the ferry, and disembarked with everyone else. There was a conversation between a man and a woman not far in front of him. The woman's voice was very familiar, and Chen Pingan just swiped it lightly.
He glanced at a young woman with a mole at the corner of her mouth. Chen Pingan felt very sad. The lady who lived above him had suffered a lot recently. Chen Pingan guessed that the woman and her husband
It must be true, otherwise I wouldn't be so tolerant.
During the process of disembarking from the ship, Chen Pingan heard a lot of things. For example, in the Taiye Pond at Gaopu Ferry, someone captured a rare pair of twin flower maidens. A single flower charm like this would be worth ten dollars.
A piece of snow costs money, but once it comes into pairs, the buyer doesn't have to expect to pocket it unless he spends fifty or sixty pieces of snow.
During the two-month trip on the Longdao waterway, the fishermen only caught a few two-fingered river dragons, and no adventures occurred.
The ferry was a stop-and-go trip, with many wealthy Qigong practitioners. When they finally disembarked, the poor servants were laden with large and small parcels on their backs. They had to be extremely careful when walking to avoid being bumped and damaged. Most of the things were precious, and some of them were
Luxury items may not be cheaper than human life.
This ferry crossing is vast, and it is still a bustling scene with many shops. However, the merchants shouting and selling things have turned into local specialties of nearby countries. Chen Ping'an had nothing to do, and walked around one shop after another, and found many
Most of the weird spirits are lively and cute grass and tree spirits. There are little people who look like children, white-haired old men and women, and the figures and faces of young girls. They vary in size, but the largest spirit is only one finger high.
, or locked in a green bamboo cage, or standing on an ink stone, and there is also a spinner girl with wings, sitting behind a pocket spinning wheel and working hard, all kinds of interesting things.
Through the bargaining between some customers and the shopkeeper, Chen Ping'an learned that these weird little guys were similar to the old cypress potted plants of Mr. Hong from Qingfufang, and the children in Tsing Yi standing on top of them said "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in unison.
, the price is determined by the degree of rarity. The cheap one only costs one snow coin, while the expensive one costs thirty-four.
Chen Pingan finally came to the conclusion that the farther south you go, the more common this kind of charm is.
Chen Pingan browsed the shops and stalls, but did not buy anything. This time, it was not that Chen Pingan was stingy, but that he wanted to buy some more on his way back to Dali after giving away the sword, returning from Daoxuan Mountain and Jianqi Great Wall.
Not too late.
After walking out of the cave, Chen Ping'an felt like he had seen the light of day again. He found that the cave entrance was still covered with cliff carvings of famous people. They were even more densely packed than the Shushui Country Ferry at the northern end. It was like they were jockeying for position, trying to find every opportunity. Some of the cliff carvings seemed to be...
I was angry with my neighbor. Chen Pingan read them one by one at the entrance of the cave. Of course, the calligraphy was all good, and each had its own charm, but deep down, he felt that it was still not as good as the calligraphy written by the young Cui Chan.
Outside the ferry is a valley. The road is flat and wide. The shops on both sides are more prosperous and luxurious than the merchants on the shore of the ferry. People are coming and going on the streets. It is a peaceful and prosperous time, and there is noisy, but there are local dogs lying on the roadside.
They all exuded a sense of leisure.
The first thing that comes into view is a three-story building on the left, with high eaves and intrigues. There is a gold plaque with the name "Yinv Ferry" hanging on it. Chen Ping'an is now familiar with the road. Knowing this place, he just pays to take the ride there.
The location of the ferry in Laolongcheng. After entering, I inquired at the counter and learned that the first ferry to Laolongcheng arrived at noon today. The price of the first-class cabin was twenty snow coins, and that of the middle-class cabin.
Ten coins. Chen Pingan asked about the price of the last-class cabin. The man smiled and explained that the cheapest one on the mutton fat hall ferry to Laolongcheng was ten coins for a medium-sized house.
There is no last word.
There were slightly sarcastic looks and smiles all around the lobby in the building. Chen Pingan didn't feel embarrassed at all. He took out twenty pieces of snow money and bought a jade pendant for embarkation. The front and back were engraved with "Muet Fat Hall" and "Superior".
Room 11." Chen Pingan looked at 11 and remembered the seal left in Luoluoshanzhulou. He thought it was a good sign and quite auspicious. Chen Pingan walked out with a smile, counted the time, and started shopping, planning to buy something.
Two sets of clothes, no shoes, I'm used to wearing straw sandals for so many years, and there are two pairs of brand new ones in the square cunwu.
Although the shops on the street are much more stylish, the items they sell are much the same as the shops on the shore of Longdao Ferry. They are the same types of flowers and plants, but the prices are cheaper. Chen Ping'an looks at these little guys who look very happy.
Never tire of it.
It's just that he just didn't pay, which was a bit unpleasant. Chen Pingan just walked around in various shops, and then found a shop that was particularly rich and wealthy. Chen Pingan stood outside the door, a little dazed. It turned out that...
There is a screen at the same height as a person at the door. On it is a woman with a long sword on her back and a purple gold gourd hanging on her waist. She stands on the edge of the cliff and watches the sea of ​​clouds roll over her. Her dress is swaying and floating in the air.
It should be similar to the landscape scroll on Kun's boat, which was made using mountain rubbing techniques.
Several people pointed in front of the screen, and their words were full of gloating. They talked about the hundreds of years of grievances between Fenglei Garden and Zhengyang Mountain, and how this Fairy Su was so graceful and transcendent in her early years. She was the only one in her life.
The first time I wore clothes outside my master's sect, I had the experience of fighting side by side to slay demons with the founder of this shop, so I made an exception and wore this dress for the first time without any reward.
More than ten years ago, this style of dress was all the rage in the north and south of Aquarius Island. Whether it was a female nun in the mountains or a rich man with a lot of money, hundreds of people flocked to it.
A young woman sneered and said, "It's a big joke that this shop still doesn't want to remove this screen. I wonder if Su Jia will be so ashamed that she digs a hole and crawls under it if she sees it with her own eyes."
A young Qi practitioner with a dark face endured it for a long time, and finally spoke out angrily, speaking out for the fairy he had admired for a long time, "No matter how hard Fairy Su falls, she will still be a true immortal who has emerged from the mud and is untainted. You two
You are making sarcastic comments here, but if Fairy Su is really standing here, how dare you fart?"
A middle-aged man said with a playful smile: "Before Su Jia was completely shattered by Huang He, a close disciple of Fengleiyuan Li Tuanjing, I could have licked the soles of this fairy's shoes. Unfortunately, now, it's really not my fault."
Fa Luo, if Su Jia really stood in front of me, I would dare to reach out and pinch her cheeks and touch her waist! Tsk, tsk, I don’t know how it feels..."
The young monk blushed and trembled with anger, "How could there be such a vicious bastard like you!"
The man laughed and said, "How could it be possible? The answer is very simple. Just ask my parents."
The young monk clenched his fists and stared at the bastard with his eyes spitting fire.
The man clicked his tongue and said: "What, you want to beat me to death? Come on, beat someone to death here. Not only will the murderer go to jail, but the teacher will also be held accountable. Come on, come on, if you don't beat me to death today, you won't be counted as you."
This kid really admires Su Jia! If you don’t beat me to death, I will touch Fairy Su Jia on the screen later, from head to toe."
The middle-aged man tilted his neck with a lewd smile on his face.
The young monk turned around slumped.
The man laughed wantonly and said sarcastically: "You little brat who doesn't have all his hair yet dares to fight with me! Don't go, I really want to touch you. Hey, this face is so tender and smooth, so handsome."
Little girl, and Fairy Su, a little girl with a broken heart, I wonder if the next time you meet, it will be in that brothel..."
The young monk left quickly, unwilling to listen to those filthy words that made people sad and angry.
Chen Pingan walked straight into the shop, ignoring the verbal quarrel between the two parties, and spent a full thirty taels of silver to buy two sets of the most ordinary clothes. In fact, this shop has a long history and does a lot of business in the southern part of Aquarius Island.
, although this is only one of hundreds of branches, the robe that is the treasure of the store, even a layman like Chen Ping'an, can tell after a cursory glance that it is no less defensive than Chu Hao's divine armor.
After Chen Ping'an walked out of the shop, the man hadn't left yet. A group of spectators had already changed around him, including both men and women. They were in front of the screen. Most of the men looked regretful, while the women sneered and dissatisfied. The atmosphere was subtle. The one in the middle was idle.
The young man started to be flirtatious again, which made several women very relieved. Even though they knew that the man was not a good guy, after hearing that he was the shopkeeper of the miscellaneous shop next door, they still suggested to several male companions to go in and take a look.
No matter how willing I was, I wanted to punch that middle-aged man in the face.
The man's character is indeed bad, but his business acumen is indeed not bad, but he is sarcastic and ridiculing Fairy Zhengyangshan Su, and the more he talks, the worse he is. Those women are also smart and clever, and they never agree with the men in their words.
On the contrary, they would say a few "refutations" indifferently. The men who came to the door in order to attract business understood it even more, and they spattered more and more, which made them feel better. From the corner of their eyes, they looked at the male companions who were traveling with them, as if they were enjoying themselves.
Su Jia, who told you that you were infatuated with her at first sight, has fallen into this situation, can you still admire her?
The man was dancing and talking, and when he was enjoying himself, he simply walked to the screen, stretched out a palm, waved it gently, a little distance away from the screen, pretended to slap the lifelike Su Jia on the screen a few times, and cursed.
Chen Pingan recalled the scene in the small town when Liu Baqiao, the swordsman of Fengleiyuan, talked about Su Jia.
That time outsiders entered Lizhu Cave to look for opportunities, but Liu Baqiao was the only one who followed the Chen family woman from Yingyin and the Chen family master from Longwei County, which made Chen Ping'an feel that there were good people among the gods on the mountain outside.
What moved Chen Pingan the most about Liu Baqiao was not that he was a genius swordsman in Fengleiyuan. When talking about Su Jia, he would think that one day, I, Liu Baqiao, would make Su Jia willingly marry me. It was not this kind of so-called
On the contrary, when someone asked him, what would you do if one day, the Su Xianzi you were thinking about so much, really didn’t like you because of the family background? At that time, Liu Baqiao was confused and murmured
He murmured, "How could she like me?"
When Chen Pingan thought of Liu Baqiao, he couldn't help but think of himself.
So Chen Pingan took a deep breath, walked to the screen, and looked at the man doing business next door.
To be continued...
