Lu Baixiang was speechless.

Pei Qian ran to the right side of Sui at the end, raised his head, and said with a flattering look on his face: "Sister Sui, can you fly? I often listen to storytellers under the overpass telling stories, saying that gods can not only fly over walls, but also fly over walls.

He can also spread beans and make soldiers, soar into the clouds. That old man cheated him into drinking. I don’t believe him, but I believe in you, Sister Sui. I have seen someone fly on a sword. Sister Sui, you look so good-looking.

You must be the same, right? When I grow up, if I can be half as beautiful as Sister Sui, I will be so happy."

Sui Youyou laughed at this little flatterer.

Pei Qian finally returned to Chen Ping'an and said with inexplicable emotion: "When I was in my hometown, I always felt that if I could eat dirt but not kill anyone, it would be the happiest thing in the world."

Chen Ping'an said: "I saw in a book that there is a mountain to the north of Tongye Island, and the Guanyin soil over there can really be used as food."

Pei Qian's face was full of shock, "Can dirt really be used as food?! Then should we carry a basket?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It's not going smoothly."

Pei Qian always has strange thoughts in her mind. For example, she will seriously ask Chen Pingan if he thinks every house and every tree looks like a person?

Her reason is that the windows are like the eyes of the house, and the door is the mouth of the house. The leaves are the clothes of the big tree.

Chen Pingping asked why the trees were so cold in winter but didn't wear clothes, and why they wore so many clothes when it was so hot in summer?

right.

Pei Qian scratched his head and felt that Chen Pingan had read a lot, which made more sense.

Along the way, except for Pei Qian's occasional nonsense, Chen Ping'an and the four of them had almost no words to communicate with each other.

It is incredible to say that the five people hiking now are actually the five "number one in the world" in the history of Ouhua Blessed Land.

While Chen Pingan was walking, he kept chewing on the refining instructions on the jade slip.

Walking on the bluestone road in the mountains and forests that day, Zhu Lian asked softly: "Master, what do you say?"

Lu Baixiang and the other three walked as usual, but they all noticed something strange at the same time.

Chen Ping'an said: "There's no rush."

On this trip north, we deliberately avoided part of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Northern Frontier Army in Daquan and took more mountain roads.

But today someone finally leaked the clues. It's just from which force they came from. It was an accidental encounter at the border, and they were afraid of the five people, so they had to come here to check. It was premeditated and they came for Chen Ping'an. It's hard to say for the time being.

In the dusk that day, there was a drizzle and the mountain road was difficult to travel. In the deserted countryside, where there were few people, Pei Qian came across a ruined temple that had been abandoned for many years. Pei Qian was so happy that she finally had a place to protect her from the wind and rain.

Her boots and trouser legs were covered with mud, and every time she raised her feet, it felt like she was lifting several kilograms of weight. Even though she was holding the oil-paper umbrella, the wind and rain still made her hair stick to her forehead, which was very uncomfortable.

Chen Ping'an asked Pei Qian to stop, took out a Yang Qi Lantern Talisman, twisted it between his fingers, and walked into the empty ruined temple first. The talisman was not lit, and then he let Pei Qian in from outside the temple door.

As the old saying goes, you can sleep in cemeteries, but don't enter ruined temples.

It makes sense. In addition to the presence of robbers and bandits seeking wealth and life, dilapidated and abandoned temples and Taoist temples, after the gods dissipate, are more likely to attract ghosts and ghosts wandering around, taking up residence here and turning them into harbors of filth and evil.

A place of evil, bewitching and causing harm to the passers-by. When I was traveling with Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia in Aquarius Island, I once encountered a little vixen. However, there are only a few like the kind-hearted mountain swamp monster. More

He is still a ferocious ghost that covets the human body and hates the yang energy of passers-by.

The altars in the ruined temple have collapsed, the clay statues are missing, and there are large and small spider webs on the beams.

Zhu Lian picked up some scattered dead branches, but it was still not enough to light a bonfire, so he had to go outside to pick up some, chop down some soaked trees, and it took a lot of time to light the fire.

After Pei Qian entered the ruined temple, he immediately had another excuse and asked Chen Ping'an for a talisman to put on her forehead, saying that she was timid and needed the talisman to ward off evil spirits.

Now, only after copying the 500-word sage's article can she borrow a talisman and stick it on her forehead to show off.

Chen Pingan asked her to use a small branch to write 500 words on the ground. Pei Qian said with a bitter face that she would not stick the talisman on it. She was too tired today. Can she copy the book next time?

Looking at the miserable little black girl who was covered in mud, Chen Pingan nodded. Pei Qianru, who had received the amnesty, approached Chen Pingan and asked if he could take a look at the small wooden box with many treasures given to her by Yao Jinzhi.

It was originally hers, but it had always been kept in Chen Ping'an's bamboo box.

Chen Pingan asked her to get it by herself from the bamboo box. Pei Qian carefully took out the exquisitely crafted treasure box and sat next to Chen Pingan, but his back was turned to Wei Xian and the other two. The treasures in the box did not even glance at them.

It's probably very difficult to get rid of this stinginess.

And Chen Ping'an didn't seem to deliberately embarrass Pei Qian on this matter.

Zhu Lian deliberately teased Pei Qian before and hid the hiking pole that no one could touch. Pei Qian almost fought with him.

The treasure box is divided into nine grids of different sizes.

In addition to the small and exquisite woodcarvings of Ganoderma lucidum with fine grains, as well as a few unique famous springs from the previous dynasty, there is also a heavily patinated Taoist token, which is engraved with a Taoist spirit official statue, with a red face and beard, golden armor and red robes, and a slit between the eyebrows.

A heavenly eye with a powerful and vivid image. This maroon token is extremely small. It should be an item that a wealthy family brought back from the Taoist temple for the younger members of the family to wear in the hope that it can ward off evil spirits and protect their children.

The rest are mostly delicate and exquisite women's decorative objects.

Pei Qian quietly raised his head and asked Chen Pingan, "Which one is the most valuable here?"

Chen Ping'an leaned back slightly and glanced at the dazzling array of objects in the treasure box, "Wooden Ganoderma and Lingguan Card are good spiritual weapons of good rank. Qi practitioners in the lower five realms will be very lucky to have one of them.

Already."

Pei Qian's eyes lit up, "How many taels of silver is it worth?"

Chen Pingan knocked down a chestnut and said, "When people give you something with good intentions, you always wonder how much it is worth?"

Pei Qian shrank his neck and said cautiously: "If it was just me, Sister Jinzhi wouldn't give me so many things."

Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "You know all this? How did you tell?"

Pei Qian pointed at his eyes and said with a smile, "Just use your eyes to see."

Chen Ping'an raised his hand again, and Pei Qian was so frightened that he quickly covered his head, and the treasure box on his lap almost fell to the ground.

Chen Pingan helped her hold the box and didn't really hit her.

Pei Qian put away the treasure box again, turned around and sat down. After handing it to Chen Pingan, he lowered his voice and said, "Sister Jin is really beautiful. I think she is more feminine than... a certain person."

Chen Pingan was noncommittal and glanced outside the temple. The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Zhu Lian is busy cooking.

Chen Ping'an stood up, picked up a branch left over from the fire, and was as long as his sword. He came to the entrance of the temple, stood still and looked up at the rain curtain.

Almost at the same time, Zhu Lian and the others turned to look at Chen Ping'an.

Even Sui, who was sitting cross-legged on the far right, was no exception. After opening his eyes, he placed his hands on the end and tail of the long sword Chixin.

It's just that Chen Ping'an held the branch like a sword, but he never moved at all.

As time passed, Sui You had closed his eyes. Zhu Lian continued to light the fire and cook. Wei Xian wandered around the ruined temple, squatting at the base of the wall, holding a broken stone painted with paint in his hand. It was probably the broken statue of the mountain temple god.

The legacy left behind. Lu Baixiang was reading a chess book, which was a gift from Yao Jinzhi. It is said to record the "Ten Games of Caiyun" played by the lord of Baidi City and Cui Yi, the master of the Great Li Kingdom. Lu Baixiang couldn't put it down because of this chess book.

Take it out and read it whenever you have free time. It is helpful to open the book.

While waiting for the raw rice to cook, Zhu Lian took out a poorly printed erotic novel. Pei Qian dared to go over and try to take a peek, but Zhu Lian pushed his little head away.

Pei Qian glanced at the chess record in Lu Baixiang's hand. She couldn't understand it and was even less interested. She hated playing chess the most. It would take a long time to think about what you did and what it did for me. It was too boring. If someone else played a chess piece, she would

It would be interesting to be able to crackle down three or four in a row.

When the fragrance of the rice could already be smelled, Chen Pingan said softly: "A group of people are coming to the small temple. You should go about your own business and ignore them. If you are hungry, eat first."

It was raining heavily, and a group of people walked forward in the rain and went to the ruined temple to take shelter from the rain.

There were dozens of people, wearing bamboo hats and raincoats. They were all strong and strong, carrying knives on their waists, and their breaths were calm and long.

Chen Pingan has been with the Yao family team for so long, and he can tell at a glance that these people must be elite soldiers in the army.

The leader was a young man in his thirties, with a tall build. When he walked, he was more eye-catching than the others behind him. He stood out from the crowd.

Ten steps outside the ruined temple, the man smiled and asked Chen Ping'an, who was holding a branch, "But Mr. Chen, who rescued General Yao and killed the young prince Gao Shuyi under the hands of the swordsman?"

Seeing that Chen Pingan was silent, the man smiled and said: "My name is Liu Cong, and I am a descendant of the Liu family of Daquan. I have been eating sand on the northern border these years. After getting these two pieces of news, I thought I must come to visit Mr. Chen. Before

The scouts in our army are sneaking around with you. I have offended you so much. I am here to apologize to Mr. Chen!"

Liu Cong.

His Royal Highness the eldest prince of the Daquan Dynasty.

He holds the power of the northern frontier army and has a high prestige among the Daquan Dynasty army. In addition to relying on the surname he brought from his mother's womb, he also relies on his solid border battles.

Chen Ping'an asked: "Just for this?"

Liu Cong laughed and said: "Of course not. Mr. Chen may not know Mirage City very well. Gao Shuyi followed me every day when he was a child. We have always had a good relationship over the years. How can I be sad if Mr. Chen kills him?"

No, after all, after I left the capital, he became more aligned with the third child, but I am very curious about how high his martial arts training is before he can be on par with Li Li, the master of the Royal Horse Supervisor!"

Chen Pingan looked around.

Liu Cong stretched out a palm and said, "Not many, just five thousand soldiers and horses. Two thousand elite frontier infantry on the mountain, and three thousand more at the foot of the mountain. I wonder if Mr. Chen thinks this meeting gift is enough?!"

Chen Ping'an was a little strange, "Since there are so many soldiers and horses encircling you, why are you, the prince, putting yourself in danger? There are only ten steps between you and me. Even if you are a pure martial artist with good skills,

Isn’t it such a big deal?”

Liu Cong laughed and asked: "Chen Ping'an, how old are you this year? You're still less than twenty, do you know how old I am? I'm already thirty, not to mention the physical exertion in Mirage City, these years at the border

I have fought countless battles, and now I have just become a warrior in the Sixth Realm! If I were to face the guard of our Daquan Dynasty, let alone life and death, I would not even dare to punch and draw a sword against the old eunuch. Do you think he is a human being?

More irritating than popular?"
