Cui Han glanced at the jade hairpin pinned in Chen Pingan's hair, "Chen Pingan, what should I say about you? When you were smart and cautious, you didn't look like a teenager back then, and you don't look like a young man who has just grown up now. But when you are stupid, you will be dark under the lamp, and it is the same for people and things. Why does Zhu Lian remind you that the partridges are singing in the mountains? If you are truly calm and behave as you usually do, like a Buddha, why bother? Are you afraid of saying goodbye to a friend? Whether it’s grudges or love in the world, it doesn’t matter how you say it, it depends on how you do it.”

"Furthermore, you have never thought that in the battle at Old Dragon City, the person who took action was Ascension Realm Du Mao, and it was his natal sword-swallowing boat, so even the close-at-hand jade token she gave you was destroyed. If it were ordinary Can the hairpin still exist?"

Cui Zhang put his hands behind his back and raised his head, "You know what you see. You keep looking at the bright and bright sun, and your heart is like a flower and tree, growing towards the sun. Then, do you want to look back at the shadow behind you?"

Chen Pingan reached out and touched the jade hairpin, then retracted his hand and asked, "Why do you want to say these sincere words to me?"

Cui Chan said with a smile: "Half of me is now your disciple, and my grandfather is still living in your house. As a master of the Great Li Kingdom, do you want to tell me how to distinguish between public and private matters?"

Chen Pingan believed it, but not completely.

Cui Chan walked to the top of the steps, turned around and looked into the distance.

Chen Ping'an took off the sword gourd, raised it, said, "I'll drink some wine," and then sat on the steps.

Cui Chan asked: "Who do you think will be the new emperor of Li? The vassal king Song Changjing? Song Jixin who is kept in Lizhu Cave? Or the prince Song He who is favored by the empress?"

Chen Pingan shook his head.

Cui Chan said with a smile: "Song Changjing chose Song Jixin, and I chose my own disciple Song He, and then made a compromise deal. South of Guanhu Academy, a companion capital will be built somewhere, and Song Jixin will be crowned king. They were vassaling the old Dragon City, and at the same time controlled the capital from afar. Here, the empress who had been fasting for several years in Changchun Palace could not say a word, and did not dare to speak for fear of death. She should still feel like she is dreaming now. I can’t believe that such a good thing really happened. In fact, the late emperor hoped that his younger brother Song Changjing would directly ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor after he could supervise the country, but Song Changjing did not agree and burned the edict with his own hands in front of me."

Chen Ping'an drank wine and wiped his mouth, "So, everyone is happy."

Cui Chan asked: "After you left Hongzhu Town, you went all the way south to Shujian Lake. What did you think?"

Chen Pingan said: "There are many dead people."

Cui Zhang gently raised his foot and stepped on it lightly, "The joys and sorrows in the world are naturally not distinguished by high or low. Even the weight is about the same, but the position is actually different."

Cui Chan asked: "Do you know why I chose Dali as my destination? And why did Qi Jingchun build the Cliff Academy in Dali? It was not that Qi Jingchun had no choice at that time. In fact, there were many choices, and they could all be better."

Chen Ping'an said: "I only know that it's not like the rumors. Mr. Qi wants to restrain you, a senior brother who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors. As for the truth, I don't know."

Cui Chan smiled and said: "The thing Qi Jingchun likes to do most in his life is thankless work. He is afraid that the noise I caused in Aquarius Island will be too big, and it will be big enough to implicate the old scholar who has already estranged the relationship, so he must

He can rest assured only by seeing what I am doing in person. He has to be responsible for the people of the continent. He feels that no matter who we are, when we pursue something, if we must pay a price, as long as we work hard, we can pay less.

Mistakes, and correcting mistakes and making amends are the responsibilities of scholars. Scholars cannot just talk about serving the country. This is the same as you in Shujian Lake. You like to shoulder the burden. Otherwise, where will you die? Straightforward

Kill Gu Can and you will become a swordsman in the future, which will be a big deal."

Chen Pingan said nothing.

Cui Chan smiled and said: "I know you don't believe it. It doesn't matter. I am telling you these things because it is a private matter, so I have selfish motives."

Cui Chan asked: "Have you ever thought about why A Liang and Qi Jingchun, who have such a good relationship, didn't kill me or even the late Emperor of Da Li in the capital of Da Li?

To shorten the late emperor’s lifespan by three years?”

Chen Pingan shook his head, "I don't know."

Cui Chan smiled and said: "You might as well follow the context of a certain stinky cow's nose, think more about the established facts you have already seen, and make deductions. It's actually not difficult."

Chen Ping'an said slowly: "The Great Li Cavalry rushed south in advance, much faster than expected, because the Emperor of Great Li also had selfish motives. He wanted to be able to take a look at the South China Sea coast of Aquarius Continent with the Great Li Cavalry before his death."

Cui Zhang stretched out his hand and pointed to one place, "Take another look at Upside Down Mountain and Sword Qi Great Wall."

Chen Ping'an frowned and said: "The battle that decided the ownership of the Sword Qi Great Wall relied on Ah Liang to turn the tide. The Lu family of the Yin Yang family did not look at the process, but only the result. After all, there was a big flaw."

Cui Chan moved his fingers, "So what about Tongyezhou."

Chen Pingan said: "It seems that luck has protected a continent, allowing the demon clan's plan to surface prematurely and being able to escape. If it is assumed that the demon clan can really break through the Great Wall, Tongye Continent is not suitable as the first attack

In the direction, the crisis tends to South Posas Island and Fuyao Island, especially the latter."

Cui Zhang pointed to the ground, "What is the territory of our Aquarius Continent?"

Chen Ping'an took a sip of wine and said, "He is the smallest among the nine continents in the world."

Cui Chan asked again, "The territory has different sizes. Is the destiny of each continent different?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, no.

Cui Zhang's finger pointing to the ground kept moving south, "You are about to go to Beiju Luzhou, so are Aquarius Continent and Tongye Continent considered far apart?"

Chen Pingan tightened his grip on the sword gourd and said: "Compared to other continents, it can be said to be very close."

Cui Zhang raised his hand and pointed behind him, "Did you see it with your own eyes when the sword cultivators from Luzhou in Beiju covered the sky and rushed to the Great Sword Qi Wall to help?"

Chen Pingan nodded with difficulty as sweat broke out on his forehead.

Cui Han smiled, "No wonder you couldn't see clearly these so-called general trends of the world before. Now, one of the threads of this line has appeared. Let me ask you first, is the old master of Donghai Taoist Temple single-minded?

Do you want to compete with Taoist ancestors in terms of Taoism?"

Chen Pingan nodded.

Cui Chan asked again, "Then do you know why the world likes to call Taoist priests a stinky old Taoist?"

Chen Pingan said: "Because it is said that the Taoist ancestor once rode a green bull and traveled around the world."

Cui Chan sighed softly: "This is one of the threads. The old temple master is one of the oldest surviving ones in the world. You can't imagine how old he is."

Chen Ping'an didn't care about raising the sword gourd. He rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and his palms were covered with sweat.

The true identity of the old master of Donghai Taoist Temple turns out to be this.

Cui Han smiled and said: "You might as well think about the worst result, the end of the thread that brought the best result to Tongyezhou, the young man who unintentionally broke the plan of the great demon of the Fuji Sect. If it was the handiwork of an old Taoist? What about the young man himself?

Of course it was unintentional, but the old Taoist meant it."

Chen Ping'an took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and set his mind on the sword stove.

Distracted thoughts are as chaotic as snowflakes.

Even if we don’t care about Tongyezhou’s survival, what should we do with those people we know?

"I would like to advise you, don't add any unnecessary extravagance. Believe it or not, people who are not meant to die may even be a blessing in disguise. If I tell you, most of them will become dead. As I said before, fortunately we still have time.

"

Cui Chan obviously didn't care much about this. He didn't mind what Chen Pingan did. He just said calmly: "I also traveled around the world back then, and I

One of the fundamental knowledge of human beings, in addition to the theory of meritorious deeds looked down upon by old scholars, is also about subtlety. So before I set foot on Aquarius Continent, I already firmly believed in two things. The monster clan broke through the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

It is an inevitable trend! Once the demon clan invades Haoran World, it is inevitable to attack Tongye Continent! As long as Tongye Continent is captured, what is the little Aquarius Continent? Beiju Luzhou, where half of the top swordsmen have been transferred, and

What the heck?! How much backbone does a Aaizhou, where merchants are rampant, have in the face of a powerful enemy?"

Cui Han waved his hand, "At least it is the land of three continents. In the blink of an eye, it is all in your hands! Once Aai Aizhou assesses the situation and chooses to surrender without a fight, even if you take a step back, Ai Aizhou chooses to be neutral. The two will not help each other. One will fade and the other will rise.

, who suffered greater losses? In this way, how many continents and fortunes did the Monster Clan occupy? Is this considered a firm foothold? There are only a few continents in the world? The Monster Clan then attacked the Liuxia Continent in the northwest, and slowly mapped it out.

Is it really what some self-proclaimed smart people think, that as soon as the demon clan comes in, they will only be locked up and beaten? Instead, the vast world will have the opportunity to work hard and take advantage of the situation to occupy the wild world? "

Chen Pingan stood up slowly, "I understand."

Not only did I understand why Cui Dongshan had that problem when he was at Cliff Academy.

I also understand why A Liang didn’t kill the Great Li Dynasty back then.

Cui Chan laughed loudly and looked around, "You say that I, Cui Chan, am ambitious and want to promote one person's knowledge to a whole continent? When that continent becomes the national teacher of a country, is this considered a big ambition?"

Cui Chan sneered and shook his head, "Break a mountain with one punch and kill tens of millions of people with one sword. Is it awesome? Is it refreshing? Under the general trend, you Chen Ping'an can just wait and see and count on your fingers. What will happen to Tongyezhou?"

As a monk in the upper five realms, no matter whether you are good or evil, you will still be able to leave a few hills and survive a few gods in the end! Let’s look at the demon clan pouring into the shore of Tongye Island like a tide. Will they accept money or not?

Unreasonable.”

The corners of Cui Chan's lips raised, "Everything must be paid back."

Cui Chan stretched out a palm and slashed down like a knife, "A-Liang didn't say a word to me about this when he was in the capital city of Li. But I was even more sure at that time. A-Liang believed that the worst outcome would definitely happen.

Come, just like Qi Jingchun back then. This has nothing to do with whether they recognize me, Cui Chan. So I want all the scholars in the vast world, and those beasts in the wild world to take a good look at it, I am Cui Chan.

How to transform the resources of a continent into the strength of a country with one's own strength, using Old Dragon City as the fulcrum to build a defense line of copper and iron walls along the entire southern coast of Aquarius Continent!"

Cui Chan waved his sleeves, and the situation changed.

The top of Luolu Mountain suddenly became covered with clouds and mist.

The sky and the earth were pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers. At the same time, Chen Ping'an discovered that under his feet, patches of mountains and rivers gradually emerged, dotted with stars, vaguely like the lights of thousands of houses in the market.

South Posuzhou, Southwest Fuyaozhou, East Baopingzhou, Southeast Tongyezhou, Juluzhou which takes the prefix of "North", Aaiaizhou located in the north, West Jinjiazhou, and Northwest Liuxiazhou.

In the end, it is the Middle-earth Divine Continent that is overshadowed by the stars.

The sky is round and the place is round.

This is not surprising, because Haoran Tianxia is one of the "fragments", as are Qingming Tianxia and Barbarian Tianxia where Taoism is the leader.

Chen Pingan hesitated to speak, but finally did not ask the question because he already had the answer.

Why don't you, Cui Chan, tell the world about this?

No one listens to what you say, and you may not believe it if you hear it.

And once the truth is revealed, the demon clan will naturally have countermeasures.

Cui Chan changed the topic and said with a smile: "There was once an ancient prophecy, which was not widely circulated. There are probably not many people left who believe it. When I was young, I accidentally turned over a book, and when I happened to read that sentence, I felt

I really owe that man a glass of wine. This prophecy is 'The magician will conquer the world'. It is not the magician who is a branch of the Yin and Yang family, but the magician who is at the bottom of the hundreds of schools of arithmetic. He is more generous than the lowly merchants.

The artist who is looked down upon by people, who only cares about the benefits of knowledge, is ridiculed as the abacus of a merchant's accountant..."
