As one of the tallest mountains in Lizhu Cave, Luolu Mountain is a perfect place to enjoy the moon.
Cui Dongshan, dressed in white, gently closed the bamboo door on the first floor, and when the handsome fairy boy stood still, it was like returning to the moonlight and white clouds.
Cui Dongshan tiptoed to the second floor. The old man Cui Cheng had already walked to the corridor, and the moonlight was like water washing the railings. Cui Dongshan called grandpa, and the old man nodded with a smile.
Grandfather and grandson, the old man stood with his hands behind his hands, and Cui Dongshan was lying on the railing, with his two big sleeves hanging outside the railing.
Cui Cheng didn't want to talk more with Cui Chan, but Cui Cheng might be closer to this "Cui Dongshan" whose soul was split in half because it was more in line with his early memories.
Cui Cheng asked: "Why did you come back?"
Cui Dongshan said softly: "Walking around outside, I always feel that there is no energy. When I arrived at the boundary of Guanhu Academy, I thought about meeting those teachers. I was upset, so I sneaked back."
Cui Cheng smiled and said: "Since you are doing something important that is worthy of your true heart, you must have perseverance and not always think about fun and boring things."
Cui Dongshan used his chin as a rag and wiped the railing back and forth, "I know."
Cui Cheng asked: "Leaving tonight?"
Cui Dongshan nodded, "Business still needs to be done. The old bastard likes to be serious and is willing to admit defeat. Now that I have chosen to bow to him, I will naturally not delay his great cause. I will be diligent and honest.
It’s like when I was a child, I had to do my homework with my master at home.”
Cui Cheng didn't say much. The old man didn't think he was qualified to tell them what to do. Back then, he was too pedantic and taught too many rigid principles, and he liked to put on airs. That's why the little boy left home in anger, traveled to a foreign country, and left in one breath.
Aquarius Continent, went to the Middle-earth Divine Continent, and accepted a poor old scholar as his husband. This was beyond the old man's expectation. Every time Cui Chan sent a letter home asking for money, the old man was both annoyed and distressed.
How much good knowledge can a dignified grandson of the Cui family learn by studying in a shabby alley? That's all. Since he has surrendered to the family and asked for it, he only has so little money every month. How many books of sages can he have the nerve to ask for?
Even if he didn't eat or drink for a year, would he be able to collect a decent study room to support himself? Of course, it was only later that the old man realized that the old scholar's knowledge was at its peak.
Cui Cheng said: "Cui Han just approached Chen Ping'an, he should tell the truth."
Cui Dongshan hummed, not surprised, Cui Chan saw him thoroughly. In fact, Cui Dongshan looked at Cui Chan very much. After all, he was once the same person.
Cui Dongshan turned his head, "How about I leave later?"
Cui Cheng smiled and said: "You leave late and leave early, can I stop you? Apart from locking you in the attic to study when you were a child, when have you ever listened to grandpa's words since then?"
Cui Dongshan said: "I will listen to grandpa this time."
Cui Cheng said: "Okay, if he wants to talk about it later, just blame it on me."
Cui Dongshan smiled brightly, climbed up the railing skillfully, turned over and landed on the ground on the first floor, swaggered towards the houses next to Zhu Lian, and first went to Pei Qian's yard. He made a series of strange noises, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, bared his teeth and claws, and was confused.
When Pei Qian woke up, he was so frightened that he took out the yellow paper talisman at lightning speed and put it on his forehead. Then, without putting on his shoes, he ran towards the window sill with his hiking stick in hand, closing his eyes and doing the same thing.
Crazy swordsmanship, blindly shouting "Go, go, go! I'll spare your life!"
Cui Dongshan shouted angrily: "You knocked on my husband's window and you have to pay for it!"
Pei Qian was stunned on the spot, stretched out her two fingers, and gently pressed the talisman on her forehead to prevent her from falling. If a demon deliberately changed into Cui Dongshan's appearance, she must not take it lightly. She asked tentatively: "Who am I?"
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Senior Sister."
Pei Qian was relieved. It seemed that it was really Cui Dongshan. He ran to the window sill, stood on tiptoes, and asked curiously: "Why are you here again?"
Cui Dongshan asked: "You care about me?"
Pei Qian took off the talisman and put it in his sleeve, and ran to open the door. When he saw that Cui Dongshan was gone, he turned around and couldn't find it. When he looked up, he saw a guy in white clothes hanging upside down under the eaves.
Pei Qian sat down on the ground. There were already some tears in Pei Qian's eyes. Just when he started to cry loudly, Cui Dongshan was like an ice pick hanging under the eaves on a snowy day. He poked Pei Qian and his mountain sticks.
When it broke, Cui Dongshan slipped from the eaves in an upside-down position, hit his head on the ground with a thud, and then fell straight to the ground. Seeing this scene, Pei Qian burst into tears and laughed, and all his grievances disappeared.
Cui Dongshan climbed up, shook his snow-white sleeves, and asked casually: "Where is that blind maid?"
Pei Qian said cautiously: "Sister Shi Rou is currently busy with business at the New Year's Eve shop. She is helping me make money together. There is no credit but hard work. You must not bully her again, or I will tell the master."
Cui Dongshan sneered and said: "Complain? Your master is my husband, and he is obviously closer to me. When I met my husband, you didn't know where to play in the mud."
Pei Qian didn't want to be inferior to him in this matter. He thought for a while and said, "Master went to Shushui Kingdom to travel around the world and brought me a lot of gifts. I can't even count them. Do you have any?"
?Even if there is, can there be as many as me?"
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Are you comparing your wealth with me, who is known as Uncle Duobao in the world?"
Pei Qian said seriously: "What we have is not counted, we are only better than what our masters and husbands gave us."
Cui Dongshan spread his hands and said, "There is no shame in losing to Senior Sister."
Pei Qian nodded and said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
Cui Dongshan stretched out his finger and poked Pei Qian's eyebrows, "You can just drag the text as hard as you can and make all the ancient sages angry to death."
Pei Qian slapped Cui Dongshan's dog paws off, and said timidly: "Presumptuous."
Cui Dongshan was amused that such a good word was used so ungratefully by Xiao Heitan.
Cui Dongshan started to walk outside the yard, "Let's go find a pig's head to play with."
Pei Qian was no longer sleepy. He followed Cui Dongshan happily and told him about his feat of poking a hornet's nest with his sister Baoping. Cui Dongshan asked: "It's just that I am naughty, and I also bring disaster to the little Baoping.
Sir, didn’t he beat you?”
Pei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "You're just talking nonsense."
Cui Dongshan lamented, "My husband really treats you as his own daughter."
Pei Qian was happy, the big white goose could talk better than the old cook.
As for the Big White Goose, it was Pei Qian's private nickname for Cui Dongshan. She only told this matter to the most "tight-lipped" Sister Baoping.
Passing by a house, there was a muffled sound of people walking and punching inside the wall.
Cui Dongshan volleyed in the air and climbed higher step by step. Standing outside the wall, he saw a slender and beautiful girl practicing his husband's best six-step walking pole. Pei Qian leaned the hiking pole against the wall and stepped back a few steps.
He jumped up high, stepped on the hiking pole, grabbed the wall with both hands, exerted a little force on his arms, and successfully stuck his head out. Cui Dongshan rubbed his face and muttered: "This punch really hurts my eyes."
.”
Pei Qian lowered his voice and said, "Cen Yuanji is not a bad person, he is just a little stupid."
Cui Dongshan nodded and said, "I can see it."
After all, Cen Yuanji is the martial arts embryo that Zhu Lian favors, a woman who is expected to become a martial artist in the golden realm. It is only in a place like Luolu Mountain where ghosts and gods are infested that she is not conspicuous at all, otherwise she will be thrown into Shushui Kingdom casually. In the Caiyi Kingdom, once she reaches the Seventh Realm, she will be a veritable grand master. Walking through the shallow rivers and lakes is like a forest python walking across a pond, causing the water to burst.
It's just that Cen Yuanji has just practiced boxing. It's very difficult to immerse her mind in it when practicing boxing. So it wasn't until she took a short rest and stopped her boxing that she heard the whispers on the other side of the wall, and instantly turned sideways and stepped forward. He retreated, opened a fist with both hands, raised his head and shouted angrily: "Who?!"
When she saw the handsome "young man"'s head, she frowned, wondering why such a stranger who looked like an immortal appeared. Then she saw Pei Qian grinning at the side, and Cen Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief.
Cui Dongshan put his elbows on the wall and asked, "Are you Zhutou...oh no, are you the registered disciple of Luoluo Mountain chosen by Zhu Lian to go up the mountain?"
Cen Yuanji didn't answer and looked at Pei Qian.
Pei Qian smiled and introduced: "His name is Cui Dongshan. He is a student of my master. We are of the same generation."
Cen Yuanji began to mutter.
That young mountain master’s student disciple?
Isn't this handsome young man in front of me stupid? Who should I choose to be my husband? Why not choose that uneducated guy to be my teacher? I just wander around outside all year round, work as a shopkeeper, and occasionally return to the top of the mountain. She heard that it was either casual socializing, or she saw it with her own eyes, drinking and acting crazy at night. What can you learn from that guy? That guy is really deceived by lard, and he dares to be a gentleman, so he is so short of money?
Cen Yuanji sighed in his heart and looked at the handsome young man in white with some pity.
Cui Dongshan said softly: "I'm really stupid, I'm not pretending."
Pei Qian hummed, "I didn't lie to you."
The two heads, big and small, disappeared from the top of the wall almost at the same time, showing a tacit understanding.
Cen Yuanji didn't hear it clearly and didn't bother to argue. Anyway, there are a lot of weird people and strange things on Luolu Mountain.
Cui Dongshan did not go to Zhu Lian, but took Pei Qian to the top of Luolu Mountain. He stamped his feet and angrily said, "Get out yet."
Song Yuzhang, the mountain god of Luolu Mountain, quickly revealed his true form. Facing this "young man" whose true identity he had already known back then, Song Yuzhang bowed to the bottom of his body at the foot of the steps outside the ancestral temple, but did not say anything.
Cui Dongshan's face was gloomy, full of evil spirits, and he strode forward. Song Yuzhang stood there.
Pei Qian saw that the situation was not good, Cui Dongshan was going to start acting like a monster again, wasn't he? She quickly followed Cui Dongshan and persuaded in a low voice: "Speak carefully, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. When the time comes, it will be difficult for you to be a good person, and it will be Master."
Cui Dongshan sighed, stood in front of the desolate mountain god with a calm expression, and asked: "Being an official means you are dead. After all, you have finally become a mountain god, but you are still not enlightened?"
Although Song Yuzhang was in awe of this "National Master Cui Xun", he had a clear conscience about his conduct, so he would never be cowardly at all. He said slowly: "If you are good at being an official and a good person, don't say that I am not lacking in Dali. From the already destroyed Lu family to the surviving Gao family of the Sui Dynasty, to the small vassal states like Huang Tingguo that adapt to the changing circumstances, how could there be any less?"
Cui Dongshan asked: "Then let me ask you, whether you are an official or a mountain god, if you are placed in these positions by the Dali Song family, are you pursuing moral self-perfection, or are you focusing on serving the country and the people?"
Song Yuzhang asked: "Master, don't you allow ministers to do both?"
