(The sentence at the end of the chapter is borrowed from a comment by a reader in the Zongheng circle. It is really well written.)
After Lao Tianjun and Zhong Kui left, nothing happened the whole night.
Pei Qian, whose eyelids were twitching, carried Chen Pingan to the window sill and asked her to go back to sleep.
Chen Ping'an stayed alone in the courtyard without walking or practicing his sword. He sat at the stone table and thought about his future plans.
Occasionally, I lost my mind and looked up at the night. I heard Zhong Kui said before that among the saints worshiped in the Confucian Confucian Temple, except for some who went to expand the territory and find new paradises, there would be many other saints who would sit in this vast world, lakes and seas.
In the sky, overlooking the human world, in their eyes, the great monks in the world, whether on the mountain or below, are like ordinary people looking at the fireflies floating in the summer night. The intensity of the light depends on the level of the land gods. So the Battle of Taiping Mountain
, and the white ape let go of their hands and feet to fight with all their strength, and there is no longer any cover. In the field of vision of the saint above Tongye Island, it is like two groups of light that suddenly exploded, thus attracting the saint to fall and preventing the great monk with great supernatural powers from making unreasonable troubles.
, or personal anger and fighting, once there is no scruple, the mountains and rivers will be shattered, and the people will suffer.
Most of the time, Chen Ping'an closed his eyes and rested his mind, silently reciting the immortal mantras on the jade slips of Biyou Mansion in his heart.
Read it a hundred times and you will see its meaning, and all laws in the world are inseparable from its origin.
At dawn, Chen Pingan opened his eyes and heard the footsteps of old general Yao Zhen outside the hospital. He stopped at the door of the hospital, seeming to hesitate whether to knock on the door.
Chen Ping'an stood up and opened the courtyard door. Yao Zhen smiled and said: "As expected of a martial arts master, he can distinguish people by listening to their steps."
Chen Pingan asked: "Go to the garden of the post house to take a walk and relax?"
Yao Zhen and Chen Ping'an walked side by side and said slowly: "The reason why I didn't follow you yesterday to visit the place where the ancient immortal rode a crane and ascended was because I got news that the Mirage City's secret envoy was coming to the post house.
I had no choice but to wait. It was not until the second watch in the evening that the distinguished guest arrived. Guess who it was?"
Since he was asked about Chen Pingan, he would definitely not be a figure in Mirage City who had nothing to do with him. Chen Pingan had an idea and replied: "Shen Guogong Gao Shizhen."
Yao Zhen stretched out his thumb, nodded and said, "It is this Duke."
Those who come are not good and those who are good will not come.
Since Shen Guogong is allowed to serve as a secret envoy and come to Qihe City to convey the decree before the Yao family's team enters Mirage City, it shows that in His Majesty's mind, Shen Guogong's weight is more important than that of the future Minister of War, Yao Zhen. As for Shen Guogong's departure,
Before the capital, Chen Pingan had never met Emperor Liu, so he could not guess whether Emperor Liu had given him any advice. Therefore, Duke Shen secretly entered the Qihe City Post House. To the old general, it was tantamount to a big mistake.
A show of force.
Living in the capital is not easy.
Even if you are Yao Zhen, you are still an outsider from the frontier.
Chen Ping'an benefited a lot from his long "far trip" to Ouhua Blessed Land and accompanied the old Taoist priests from the East China Sea. Maybe it wasn't until the moment he left Ouhua Blessed Land that such a mud-legged man from Mud Bottle Lane put on his trousers.
Shake off the last bit of soil.
Yao Zhen said slowly: "The Daquan Dynasty, with the surname Jun Guogong, has ten people in total. It has been two hundred years since the founding of the Liu family. It has gone through ups and downs, and only a single seedling like the Shen Guogong Mansion is left. The old Shen Guogong has a very good reputation and is fair.
, twice risked having the plaque removed from the Duke's Palace, and saved a group of Qingliu ministers and a border general respectively. Therefore, in the temple, both civil and military, these two copies of the incense of the Duke's Palace were read. The current Duke
Gao Shizhen, a man who kept a low profile and was not very pushy, had been closely associated with the mansion when he was young. Looking back, he was not a simple man. That’s why Gao Shuyi had the ability to walk sideways in Mirage City.
…”
Chen Ping'an suddenly interjected: "Gao Shuyi's domineering behavior and annoying the powerful people from all walks of life may not be a means for the Duke's government to tarnish its reputation. The two generations of Dukes, each relying on their own abilities, took advantage of all the benefits that the courtiers could not even imagine. If
If Gao Shuyi doesn't do something, the fate of the Duke's Mansion may be the same as the previous situation of the Yao family's border troops."
Yao Zhen had a strange look on his face and once again extended his thumb towards Chen Ping'an, "It's similar to what my granddaughter Jinzhi said."
But Yao Zhen patted Chen Pingan on the shoulder, "But, these remarks were made when we were fourteen years old."
Chen Ping'an felt funny in his heart. Why are you, General Yao, competing with him like this? He still echoed: "The girl near me has a beautiful heart and is good at learning and miscellaneous things. Naturally, I am far behind."
Yao Zhen's vicissitudes of life brought a smile to his face, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.
As for what Duke Shen Guo Shi actually said when he arrived at the post house, Yao Zhen, as a minister of the Liu family, would certainly not reveal anything.
However, if Mirage City and Duke Guo wanted to deal with their little benefactor, Yao Zhen wouldn't mind dying again. Anyway, it was the Yao family who had earned his old life by returning it to Chen Ping'an. After all, the Yao family's cavalry had already
It can be regarded as a complete escape from this turmoil. This is the conclusion that my granddaughter came to after sending Gao Shizhen out of the city late last night, and returned to the inn to have a night talk with Yao Jinzhi.
To welcome the grand event, the reputation of the Yao family's cavalry will be promoted by the government at all levels, and will be well-known in both the government and the public.
The garden of the post house is extremely famous. Thanks to the efforts of literati, poets and demoted officials in the past dynasties, it has gained the reputation of "the beauty of mountains and ponds and the elegance of pavilions and terraces, unmatched by the kings of the capital".
Under the shade of green trees, small bridges and flowing water, the two people walked onto a wooden arch bridge. Now Chen Pingan is probably as familiar with the bridge structure as an official from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Chen Pingan walked on the bridge, his steps light and sometimes light.
He reached out and tapped the railing lightly. Yao Zhen just regarded it as a personal hobby and did not ask out of curiosity.
The Yao family team will leave the day after tomorrow. There will be a banquet hosted by the governor tonight, and tomorrow the county governor will entertain the old general Yao Zhen privately, so we can still spend two more days in Qihe City.
Chen Ping'an stayed in the courtyard and practiced with closed doors.
As for the advancement of martial arts, the climbing speed has far exceeded the expectations when leaving Xuanxuan Mountain. There is no need to rush, and there is no need to rush.
The rebuilding of Changsheng Bridge seems to be a pressing matter.
After visualizing twice, once at the Lotus Root Blessed Land and once at the bank of the Mi River, the golden long bridge has successfully appeared over the river. It is more stable each time. Especially the second time across the Mi River, Chen Ping'an has the confidence to walk on it.
.
However, Chen Pingan has a headache when he thinks about building the Bridge of Immortality and refining the Five Elements magic weapon as a "body small world" to hold the house. With the jade slip formula given by the Water Goddess, Chen Pingan must start now.
Preparation means that Chen Ping'an must refine as many as five natal objects. Otherwise, building the Immortal Bridge will still be a dead end. Unless he gives up his martial arts training, once the Immortal Bridge is erected, his spiritual energy will be like sea water.
The consequences of pouring it back would be disastrous, but if one's own Qi Palace has five lake-shaped mansions of gods, it can accumulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and at the same time, it will not too much affect a pure Qi patrolling the Quartet, and both sides can generally have a good balance.
Water does not interfere with river water.
That kind of mysterious and mysterious state is like a Chen Pingan walking around the world with his two fists, and a Chen Pingan in the mountains and forests behind closed doors, thanking guests and practicing Taoism silently.
When Chen Ping'an walked away, he thought silently in his heart: "The water-character seal given by Mr. Qi must be refined into a life object. In this way, if it is related to life, it will be broken like a mountain-character seal. As long as the person does not die, , can still vaguely appear in the Qi Mansion, even if it is no longer powerful, but there is always a thought, as long as you want to see it in this life, you can see it. Moreover, the immortal magic formula of the Water Goddess Empress, regarding refining water, Mentioned the most.”
"As for the ancient jade slip that can warm the body and nourish the soul, it is probably related to the water of the Five Elements, but I don't know the specific rank, origin and background. You still need to ask Wei Bo."
"It's a pity that the golden robe is not among the five elements. Otherwise, it would be of sufficient rank and suitable for refining. If you don't have to wear it all the time, you will be noticed by the Nascent Soul Immortal. Alas, it is really a pity. "
"The golden literary gallbladder of Lord Shen Wen of the City of Caiyi. When I was talking about the sequence of knowledge in Biyou Mansion, I felt it in my heart. It seemed that it could be refined into the gold of the five elements. Moreover, reading is the same as boxing and swordsmanship. It’s a lifelong effort.”
"The Land of the Five Elements, the old Taoist entrusted the Taoist boy to talk about the five-color soil of the mountains, rivers, and lands of the Five Mountains of Da Li. Now that the Da Li Iron Cavalry is heading south, the war is in full swing. Could it be that the Song Clan of Da Li can really capture at least half of the entire Aquarius Continent? ?If this is true, the Five Mountains and Five Colored Earths of the Dali Dynasty are indeed valuable. It seems that this matter will still trouble Wei Bo, who has the status of the righteous god of the Northern Mountains of Dali, next time he returns to Longquan."
Dressed in a white robe, Chen Pingan punched "selflessly" with extraordinary fluency.
It is no longer a kiln worker's apprentice drawing blanks, and the old-fashioned craftsmanship everywhere is like regular script, but it has become like everyone's popular running script.
The essence of it is that you can only endure the hardships and grasp the blessings.

The four people in the scroll all have their own quirks.
Wei Xian has recently become fond of eating with his mouth shut. There are two small bags hanging on the left and right sides of his waist, filled with food bought from various shops.
Lu Baixiang likes all elegant things. Now he likes to hold a few chess pieces in the palm of his hand. When walking, when the chess pieces rub against each other, the palm of his hand will make a slight squeaking sound.
Zhu Lian didn't like to be restrained. For example, he found it troublesome to wear socks as well as boots. He bought a pair of straw sandals from somewhere in Qihe City and changed into a pair of light yellow linen clothes. Furthermore, no matter which town he stopped in, Zhu Lian would Go buy some novels about ghosts, monsters, gods and demons, and novels about talented people and beauties with charming pictures. Whenever you have free time, you can read them to pass the time.
Sui Youyou doesn't seem to have any hobbies except studying swordsmanship every day, which is the biggest quirk in itself.
After Chen Pingan finished practicing boxing, he returned to the house.
Today Zhu Lian is basking in the warm early winter sun in the yard, reading a rather fragrant novel about talented men and beautiful women.
When Yao Xianzhi, a young man, came to visit, he asked Wei Xian for some boxing lessons.
Lu Baixiang was playing chess with Yao Jin.
After Sui Zuo passed the hill, his momentum changed slightly, and he began to retreat alone again. He held his sword across his knees, often pushing the sword out of its scabbard and then pushing it back, and so on.
Pei Qian was unwilling to give up. After watching the game between Lu Baixiang and Yao Jinzhi, he found it boring, so he went back to the house to get the hiking stick, and waved her signature crazy stick next to Wei Xian and Yao Xianzhi. Fa, Wei Xian asked Yao Xianzhi to practice a boxing pile first, and looked at Pei Qian for a while, speechless for a long time. The little girl was carrying the hiking pole in a mess, and sometimes she accidentally hit herself. It was worthy of killing an enemy and injuring oneself. Eight hundred domineering roads.
Yao Xianzhi, who was practicing Zhanzhuang, rolled his eyes.
On the contrary, Wei Xian didn't seem to think Heitan girl was childish.
Pei Qian was panting, bent over, holding the hiking pole with both hands, and asked: "Old Wei, how good is my martial arts talent? Am I one of a million? Tomorrow... forget it, can I be like my father next year?
A peerless master? Beat ten of you with one hand?"
Wei Xian answered the question, "It is said in the world that you have practiced spear for a long time with swords, moon, swords, etc. If you really want to improve your stick skills by leaps and bounds, I have two suggestions. One is to shoot sticks like dragons in the rapeseed fields. Over time, you will have an invincible weapon in the world."
Momentum, the second is to stir up a hornet's nest. When you are in danger, you will have another aura of looking forward to death."
Pei Qian saw that Wei Xian was sincere, thought about it for a moment, and said doubtfully, "You won't lie to me?"
To be continued...
