On the first floor of the Bamboo House, a row of ancient shelves has been placed. The wood is elegant and well-proportioned. There are many grids and few treasures.
Chen Pingan wanted to take out objects from the small and close objects to decorate the appearance, but Chen Pingan was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, Chen Pingan has seen and handled a lot of good things after traveling far away for so many years, but it seems that except for Lu Taiwan purchased the gifts from Fuji Zong Huantian Jieran, Wu Yi gave gifts in Ziyang Mansion, plus the painting of ladies purchased by Chen Ping'an at Yuanwei Street in Chishui City, and several items given by the old shopkeeper as lottery gifts It seemed that there were not many small items left in the end. The family's financial resources were thinner than Chen Ping'an imagined. Every treasure was like a leaf of duckweed swirling in the water.
Chen Ping'an recalled for no reason the pass on the border between Shihao Kingdom and Meigla Kingdom, "Liu Liu Pass". It was named Liu, but in fact nothing could be left there.
Some are temporarily borrowed from others, such as the ancestral nectar armor "Huashan" on Wei Xian's body, the narrow knife Zingxue on Lu Baixiang's waist, the Chixin sword on Sui's right back, and the "I am good at cultivating Haoran Qi" jade on Wei Bo's hand. Cards, the two hell palaces of Hell and the imitation Liuli Pavilion on Gu Can's side, etc.
Most of them were given away directly, such as the City God's Xianyou Boyin from Rouge County of Caiyi Country. Who among the people in Luopo Mountain and Cliff Academy had not received gifts from Chen Pingan? Not to mention these acquaintances, even Shi At the dog meat shop in Hao Country, Chen Pingan was able to give away a small summer coin, and in the mountains and forests beside the Chunhua River in Plum Glaze Country, Chen Pingan even paid and gave medicine. Earlier, on Osmanthus Island, there was also a dog to feed a dog. There are countless handfuls of snake gallstones thrown into the water by young dragons.
Chen Ping'an laughed at himself: "I was so proud when I gave it away, but I feel heartbroken when I think about it afterwards."
After thinking about it, Chen Pingan rubbed his chin and nodded secretly: "What a poem!"
The little lotus figure was originally sitting on the table to rest. After hearing Chen Ping'an's words, he immediately fell back and lay on the ground with only one small arm left. He slapped his belly vigorously and laughed continuously.
Seeing the little guy's lively and cute appearance, Chen Ping'an was also very happy.
In Luopo Mountain, Chen Ping'an found it pleasant to hear anything as long as it wasn't flattery.
Chen Pingan stretched out a finger and gently scratched the little guy's squeaky nest. The little guy rolled all over the floor. In the end, he still couldn't escape Chen Pingan's play. He had to sit up quickly, sitting upright, puffing out his cheeks, leaving only One arm shook slightly and pointed at a stack of books on the desk, as if he wanted to tell the young master that the desk was not a place for playing.
Chen Pingan stopped with a smile.
Take out some belongings from the square and near objects and place them one by one on the table.
Now his possessions are just less than expected. Chen Ping'an's family fortune is still quite good. Not to mention the mountain top income, he is carrying a sword fairy at the moment. This is not the mosquito leg meat chopped off by the Fu family in Old Dragon City, but the real deal. A semi-immortal weapon.
The robe and golden wine peeled off from the old Jiaolonggou Nascent Soul Jiao was originally a relic of an immortal who practiced Taoism overseas. The unknown immortal could not ascend, so he had to be reincarnated. The golden wine did not disappear with it, and was a kind of spiritual treasure in itself. Proof, so Chen Pingan was not too surprised to learn that Jin Li could grow into a semi-immortal weapon by eating gold essence copper coins.
A mutilated walnut bracelet, each core is equivalent to a fatal blow from an ordinary golden elixir.
Wearing a light green robe, it did not reach the level of a magic weapon, but Chen Pingan liked it very much. He always felt that the golden white robe of the robe was more eye-catching than the snow.
Walnut skewers and green robes should also be carried with you when going to Luzhou in Beiju.
There are many objects on the table.
The two seals are still placed in the middle, surrounded by stars.
Chen Ping'an began to settle accounts silently. It would definitely not work if he did not repay his debts.
Zhu Lian once said something from experience, saying that borrowing money is the most important test of friendship. There are often many so-called friends who lend money, but friends cannot do it. But there will always be one or two,
If you borrow money, you will pay it back. Zhu Lian also said that there are two types of repayment, one is to pay it back when you have the money, and one is to pay it back temporarily, which may be more valuable. Even if it is not paid for the time being, you will say hello again and again.
, don’t hide, wait until you have enough money, and pay it back. During this period, if you urge them, they will feel guilty and apologize, and they will not complain in their hearts.
Zhu Lian said that the last kind of friends can stay with each other for a long time. Being friends for a lifetime will never be too long because they miss each other and are grateful.
At that time, Chen Ping'an smiled and asked Zhu Lian, "Do you plan to borrow money? And you won't pay me back for a while?"
Zhu Lian bowed his head, rubbed his hands, and said that the young master is really a scholar and a man of nature, who can predict the future.
The rickety old man really shamelessly borrowed some snow from Chen Pingan to spend money, only ten in fact, saying that he wanted to build a private library behind the house.
Of course Chen Pingan borrowed it. He was a traveling warrior who was involved in the existence of a country's martial arts to a certain extent. He borrowed ten pieces of snow from someone to spend money, and he still needed to nudge him for a long time. Chen Pingan did everything for Zhu Lian.
I'm sorry, but I agreed that the ten pieces of snow would be ten pieces, and there wouldn't be any more.
Chen Ping'an requested that after Zhu Lian built the library, it must be a forbidden area in Luopo Mountain, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without authorization.
Zhu Lian agreed. Chen Pingan estimated that the bookshop business in Longquan County would be booming for a while.
The little lotus figure was still playing with the objects there, arranging them neatly one by one. Chen Ping'an didn't even know who the little guy followed this habit.
Chen Pingan was busy with it, minding his own business.
The secret warehouse on Qingxia Island and Liu Chongrun on Zhuchai Island both owed money.
But the real big expenditure is destined to be the Zhoutian Dajiao and the Water and Land Dojo organized jointly with Gu Can. If they really let go, they can become two bottomless pits, and it is definitely not a matter of a few Grain Rain coins.
If it is an ordinary monarch of a small country or a wealthy man who sets up a large altar and a Taoist temple, most of the Taoist monks he invites are not practitioners. Even if there are, they are only few, so the expense is not too big.
One or two games can be held from tens to hundreds of thousands taels, even if it costs 500,000 taels of silver, converted into snow money, it is five Xiaoshu coins and half Guyu coins. In any Aquarius Island
For small vassal states, this is a grand event that has not been seen in decades.
But when it comes to Taoist cultivators, especially those who hire earthly immortals to be in charge, they have to deal with the old immortals from famous Taoist temples in various places. Even if they are kind-hearted and Bodhisattva-hearted, they will say "whatever" with a smile or "give it to me".
, then Chen Pingan and Gu Can really dare to be "casual" when paying for money? Moreover, before Chen Pingan left Shujian Lake, he had discussed with Gu Can that the two ritual ceremonies should be large rather than small, and they must ensure that there is no prestige.
Generations, take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, otherwise it will not be a waste of the gods' money, but a delay in the good fortune and reincarnation of those ghosts and ghosts.
Therefore, within two years, Gu Can will hold two rituals one after another. It will be an extremely labor-intensive and eye-sight-testing event that requires a lot of patience.
This is also a kind of training that Chen Ping'an has given Gu Can. Since he has chosen to correct his mistakes, he will embark on an extremely difficult and bumpy road.
Back then, in the mountains south of Shujian Lake, demons were rampant, evil cultivators were infested, and miasma was rampant. But what was even more unbearable than this was the hell beast Gu Can was carrying on his back, and the farewells one after another. Gu Can had
I almost gave up after two times.
Correcting a mistake doesn't mean saying "I know it's wrong" and then just walking a long way and spending some fairy money. Then I can feel at ease and feel like I have done some great feats and good deeds.
There has never been such a good thing in the world!
However, Chen Ping'an actually knew that Gu Can had not gone from one extreme to the other. Gu Can's character was still wavering. It was just that he suffered a lot in Shujian Lake and almost died from starvation. So now
Gu Can's state and mood are somewhat similar to Chen Pingan's when he first walked around the world. He was imitating the people closest to him, but it was just a way to deal with others. He saw it in his eyes, thought about it, and used it for his own purposes. His character changed, but not too much.
.
Gu Can is generally still the same Gu Can.
It's just that I understand the weight of the word "rules" better.
Chen Pingan stood up and hung the sword on the wall.
Chen Ping'an came to the eaves outside the house, and sat on a small bamboo chair with the lotus figure each. The material was ordinary, but after so many years, the original emerald green color has turned yellow.
Chen Ping'an sat there and began to take a nap. Inside and outside the bamboo building, it was warm in spring and cool in summer. All year round, even ordinary people with weak bodies would not have to worry about catching cold or heatstroke if they sat here for a long time. It was better than Cui Dongshan in Cliff Academy.
That courtyard is even more magical.
I have to practice boxing again tomorrow.
In a daze, it seemed that in the distance, in a filthy place filled with ghosts and ghosts, I vaguely saw a flower blooming and swaying.
Chen Pingan did not wake up, but fell into a deep sleep.
The little lotus figure sat on the edge of the chair next door, raised his head, shook his legs gently, and saw Chen Pingan with a smile on his face, as if he had dreamed of something beautiful.
The rising sun rises in the east, and soon the sky will glow thousands of miles away.
The bamboo building shook, and Chen Pingan, who had been sleeping on a chair for the whole night, suddenly woke up.
I took off my boots, rolled up my sleeves and trousers, and climbed up to the second floor.
Arriving outside the house on the second floor, Chen Ping'an paused briefly, lowered his gaze, and turned to look.
Cui Dongshan must have been sitting here at that time without entering the room. With his youthful appearance and temperament, he finally reunited with his grandfather after a hundred years.
The two sat across from each other, and no one knew what they said.
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to step into the house, he suddenly said: "I'll say hello to Shi Rou and come back as soon as you go."
The barefooted old man ignored it and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Chen Pingan jumped down from the second floor without putting on his boots. He quickly arrived at a place where several mansions were built adjacent to each other. Zhu Lian and Pei Qian had not returned yet, leaving only Shi Rou who lived in seclusion.
, and Cen Yuanji who had just gone up the mountain. They didn’t see Shi Rou, but they saw Cen Yuanji first. The tall girl must have just returned from a walk to enjoy the scenery. When she saw Chen Pingan, she was coquettish and hesitated to speak. Chen
Ping An nodded in greeting and went to knock on the door of Shi Rou's house. After Shi Rou opened the door, he asked: "Is there something wrong, Master?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "When Pei Qian came back, he told her that I wanted her to go to Qilong Lane to look at the shops, and you should come with me. And remind me that she is not allowed to lead Qu Huang to the town. She is so forgetful.
I can't remember anything because I'm so crazy. Keep an eye on her copying books. And if Pei Qian wants to go to a private school, it's the one run by Chen's family in Longweixi. If Pei Qian is willing, let Zhu Lian go.
Say hello to the county government and see if there are any conditions required. If you don’t need anything, that’s better.”
Shi Rou agreed and hesitated for a moment, "Sir, can I stay in the mountain?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If you really don't want to deal with outsiders, that's fine, but I suggest you get more accustomed to the small world of Longquan County and go to the Martial Temple more. A little further away, there is the Tiefu River Water God Temple.
In fact, you can visit any temple, and it’s always good to have a familiar face. Your roots are thin, and paper can’t cover up the fire. Even if Wei Bo doesn’t say it, there are many capable people and strangers in Dali, and sooner or later someone with a heart will be caught.
If you see through it, you might as well take the initiative to show up. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I will not force you to do what you do in the end."
Shi Rou smiled a little, nodded and said: "Then slave, give it a try."
