Inside the room at the entrance of Qingxia Island, there are maps of the Shujian Lake Island and nearby cities and counties, the household registration files of the incense room, the genealogy of the ancestral halls of the major islands, plus nearly 200,000 words of excerpted manuscripts, all returned to the door.
Most of the other categories have been put into cabinet drawers, just like the medicine drawers in Yang's shop and Dusty Drug Store, but there are still piles of books on the desk.
There is a desk, a row of cabinets against the wall, a dining table, and a chair, two benches and a small stool, that's all.
Later, because Gu Can visited the house often, from the end of autumn to the beginning of winter, he liked to sit at the door of the house for a long time, either taking a nap in the sun or chatting with the little loach. Chen Pingan was visiting a purple bamboo island with that person.
The bookish island owner asked for three poles of purple bamboo, two large and one small. The former was chopped and made into two small bamboo chairs, and the latter was burnt and polished into a fishing rod. He just made a fishing rod and was in Shujian Lake.
But I never had a chance to fish.
Tonight, Chen Pingan opened his food box and ate his midnight snack silently at the dinner table.
Chen Pingan is still waiting for a reply from Tongyezhou Taipingshan.
Even if Wei Bo has given all the answers, it's not that Chen Pingan doesn't believe in this old god of the Shenshui Kingdom who is shrouded in clouds and mist, but that what Chen Pingan needs to do next, no matter how he seeks perfection and truth, is not enough.
Pass.
It's just that the cross-continental flying sword communication is possible, and the current Shujian Lake is a place of right and wrong, and the flying sword communication is from Qingxia Island, which is the target of public criticism, so Chen Pingan has already prepared for the worst.
If the plan fails, let Wei Bo do a favor and write a letter on his behalf from Piyun Mountain to Zhong Kui of Taiping Mountain.
If it were Chen Ping'an who was traveling around the world for the first time, maybe even with these connections, he would just go around in circles without bothering others, which would make him feel unhappy, but it's different now.
Chen Ping'an doesn't want to live like the kind of loner that the old Taoist from Donghai Taoist Temple said. It's not terrible to owe some favors. If you borrow something, you have to pay it back. When your friends encounter difficulties in the future, you can speak more easily. As long as you don't take advantage of it and pay it back.
.
Chen Ping'an finished his late-night snack, packed his food box, opened a newspaper in his hand, and started browsing.
The above contains some interesting anecdotes about Shujian Lake nowadays, which are similar in nature to the official reports sent to the government offices by the feudal officials of the secular dynasty. In fact, during the trip, at the Baihuayuan Inn of Qingluan Kingdom, Chen
Ping An had seen the wonders of this type of Xianjia Di newspaper. After staying in Shujian Lake for a long time, Chen Ping An also followed the local customs and asked Gu Can to help him get a copy of the Xianjia Di newspaper. As soon as there was a fresh one, he would
Someone brought the house.
There are interesting things happening on Gongliu Island almost every day. If it happens on one day, it will be spread all over Shujian Lake the next day.
This is thanks to a place called Catkin Island. The monks there, from the island owner to the outer disciples and even the handymen, do not practice on the island. They wander outside all day long and make a living by relying on various
He also sells gossip based on what he has seen and heard about the occasion, plus a little bit of gossip. He also sends letters of immortality from time to time to half of the Shujian Lake islands and the wealthy families in the four lakeside cities of Chishui, Yunlou, and Lutongjinzun.
If there are few things to do, the Di Bao may be the size of a piece of tofu, and the price is also low, with a minimum price of one snowflake. If there are many things, the Dibao will be as big as a map, and it will easily cost more than a dozen snowflakes.
The recent newspaper mainly writes about the current situation of Gongliu Island. It also introduces the outstanding features of some newly emerging islands, as well as the latest news of some older islands. For example, the old master of Biqiao Island brought back something from his trip.
A remarkable young Taoist genius was born, who was born with a Taoist resonance for talismans. Another example is that among the female nuns at Waterfall Temple on Lamei Island, a girl who was originally unknown suddenly grew taller in the past two years, and Lamei Island specially opened a new temple for her.
I never thought that in the first month, there would be a lot of high-rollers on the mountain watching this young girl's charming appearance, and they would drop a lot of fairy money, which would cause the aura of Lamei Island to increase by 10%. And that thing that had been silent for a hundred years,
On Yunxiu Island, whose family fortune was in decline, a monk who was born as a handyman and had never been favored by others turned out to be the new Shujian Lake Golden Pill Immortal after Qingxia Shimadako-kun, so he even went to Miyagi Island to participate in the alliance.
Yunxiu Island, who is not qualified, has been clamoring for the past two days that a seat must be arranged for them. Otherwise, no matter who the king of the world is, as long as Yunxiu Island is absent, it will be unfair.
Chen Ping'an looked at these exciting "other people's affairs" and found them quite interesting. After reading them once, he couldn't help but read them again.
In this newspaper, the young monk from Lamei Island and the monk from Liuxu Island specially left a palm-sized place for her, similar to the stele rubbing technique used on the Dajiu Mountain Ferry. In addition, Chen Ping'an was on the Guihua Island ferry that year.
The painter's monk's brushwork for describing the scene, and the girl's appearance in the newspaper, was lifelike. It was a profile standing under the plum blossom tree in Waterfall Temple. Chen Pingan took a few glances, and found that she was indeed a girl with a charming temperament, but he didn't know if there was such a thing as an immortal.
If Zhu Lian and the old man surnamed Xun were here, they would probably be able to see through it at a glance.
Chen Ping'an reported the purchase of his residence relatively late. When he was looking at the strange people and customs of many islands, he didn't know that before Furong Mountain suffered the tragedy of annihilating his family, all the news about him, the accountant of Qingxia Island, was in the previous paragraph.
The biggest source of wealth in Catkin Island is life.
Of course, I didn’t dare to write too much about Catkin Island, and it was more about praising the words. Otherwise, I would have to worry about Gu Can taking that big loach and smashing Catkin Island to pieces with a few slaps. In history, it’s not like the monks on Catkin Island have never suffered big losses.
, since the founding of the Patriarch Hall, it has moved three times in the five hundred years. The worst time during this period was that it was severely damaged and its financial resources were poor, so it had to rent a small piece of land from an island.
Three times he was "convicted for words". One was in the early days of Catkin Island, when a monk wrote a letter without knowing the importance of his writing, which offended the illegitimate son of the king of the world at that time. The second time was three hundred years ago, when he offended the owner of Gongliu Island.
Even if they are full of jealousy towards this old immortal and his disciple and female cultivator, even if they are all good words and all the words they write are full of envy for master and disciple to become a couple of immortals, they are still...
Liu Laocheng was attracted to the island for a visit, but he didn't kill anyone, but he was so frightened that Liuxu Island changed islands the next day as an apology.
The third time was Liu Zhimao. Liu Zhimao's Taoist name was accidentally changed into "Jiejiang Zhenjun" in the newspaper, making Liu Zhimao the laughing stock of the entire Shujian Lake overnight.
Liu Zhimao attacked Liuxu Island and directly demolished the opponent's ancestral hall. This was the most painful time for Liuxu Island. It was not until he settled the accounts for the stunned Liuxu Island monks that he discovered the guy who wrote the newspaper.
, actually ran away. It turned out that that guy was one of the many unjust ghosts under the command of a great monk on Catkin Island. He had been dormant on Catkin Island for twenty years, and with just one word, he defrauded the entire Catkin Island.
Island. And although a Guanhai monk who was responsible for inspecting the text of the imperial newspaper was indeed negligent in his responsibility, he could not be regarded as the culprit. He was still taken out as a scapegoat.
Chen Ping'an heard a rare knock on the door and heard the sparse and familiar footsteps from before. It should be Hong Su, the concierge of Zhu Xian Mansion.
He quickly got up and opened the door. Hongsu, an "old woman" with black hair, declined Chen Pingan's invitation to enter the room. He hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, I really can't write about my master and the owner of Zhuchai Island, Liu Dao."
story?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Okay, next time I go to your house, I will listen to Ma Yuanzhi's past."
Although Hongsu's face is old and criss-crossed, and she doesn't know why, there is a strong evil spirit that condenses and entrenches on her face, which makes her so ugly, but in fact, if she absorbed the aura of the fairy Qian, her appearance would be
It's not bad, and she has a pair of pretty eyes. Now she blinked her eyes, plucked up her courage, and asked softly: "Mr. Chen refused my master on purpose, right? It was because he guessed that my master would
Let the slave come to find the master again, so that the slave can be given such a big credit, right?"
Chen Pingan put a finger to his mouth, signaling to her that God knows and earth knows that you know and that I know, and that's it.
Under the moonlight, the woman smiled sweetly in the bright moonlight.
Hong Su looked at the thin young man in front of her, picked up a pot of wine in her hand, sealed it with yellow paper, and wrapped the pot with a red rope. She smiled softly and said: "It's not a valuable thing. It's called yellow vine wine. It's made from glutinous rice and japonica rice."
It is brewed as an official wine in my hometown. It is most popular among women and is also nicknamed as table wine. I chatted a lot with Mr. Chen last time and forgot about this one, so I asked someone to buy some. It was just delivered.
On the island, if Mr. gets used to drinking, I will move here later and give them all to him."
She suddenly realized that her words were inappropriate and said quickly: "Just now, my slave said that woman likes to drink. In fact, the men in my hometown also like to drink."
Chen Pingan took the pot of wine, nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, if you are used to drinking, I will go to Zhu Xian Mansion to ask for it from you."
After Hongsu left.
Not only did Chen Ping'an not drink, he also put the pot of wine into something nearby and did not dare to drink it.
It’s not that I can’t trust Hongsu, but I can’t trust Qingxia Island and Shujian Lake. Even if there’s nothing wrong with this bottle of wine, once you ask for something else, you don’t know which bottle of wine will have the problem, so in the end, Chen Ping’an will definitely have to
The concierge of Zhu Xian Mansion told her that the wine tasted soft and was not suitable for her. In this regard, Chen Pingan did not feel that he was somewhat similar to Gu Can.
Just for that eventuality, Gu Can would kill ten thousand people without hesitation.
Chen Ping'an was also afraid of the eventuality, so he could only put Hongsu's kindness on hold and seal it away.
It's just that the two seem similar, but in the end they are a similar "one", and they are very different.
As long as Gu Can clings to his side, the tug-of-war between Chen Ping'an and Gu Can's psyche is destined to be unable to win Gu Can to his side.
Chen Pingan has also given up temporarily.
Even the most fundamental way of thinking about the world between two people is different. No matter how you say it, it will be useless.
Therefore, Gu Can has never seen the time that Chen Ping'an spent with the four people in Ouhua Blessed Land Picture Scroll, nor has he seen the undercurrents, murderous intentions, and eventual reunions and reunions.
It may not be suitable for Shu Jian Hu and Gu Can, but after all, Gu Can has missed one possibility.
After gradually becoming familiar with the ups and downs of Shujian Lake, and the complicated and intertwined context, Chen Ping'an believed that if Gu Can puts part of his mind on killing people, even if he learns Liu Zhimao's methods of winning people's hearts and cultivating power, Gu Can and
His mother can live better and longer in Shujian Lake.
It's just that Chen Pingan has seen more and thought more now, but he no longer has the heart to talk about these "nonsense".
Just because you don’t say it doesn’t mean you don’t do it.
On the contrary, Chen Pingan needs to do more things.
After explaining the truth, Gu Can still didn't know what was wrong, so Chen Ping'an could only retreat and do the next best thing to stop his mistakes.
As long as he is in Shujian Lake, living at the gate of Qingxia Island Mountain and working as a bookkeeper, he can at least prevent Gu Can from making big mistakes again.
Since Gu Can did not know his mistakes and firmly believed that he was the right one, he would not correct his mistakes. Chen Ping'an responded to his two great favors for a meal and a boxing manual.
Once because of the past, I had to destroy my golden literary courage, so that I could stay in Shujian Lake with the lowest "peace of mind". Everything I did next was to make up for Gu Can's mistakes.
This is a very simple sequence.
It's not easy to do, especially the first step. How did Chen Ping'an convince himself that the broken golden bile that night and bid farewell to the little man in the golden scholar's shirt was the price that had to be paid.
To be continued...
