Chen Ping'an has been staying on Fushui Island for nearly ten years. During this period, he asked Li Yuan to help with two things, in addition to the Jinlu Dojo for Shuiguan Jiehe, and to help send letters to Luopo Mountain.
Chen Pingan couldn't guess the identity of this person. His young face looked exhausted and low in energy. It seemed that his practice had encountered a bottleneck. Chen Pingan had seen this kind of soul decaying day by day in some old monks who thought they had no hope.
It was a feeling of depression. Unless Li Yuan was alerted by the formation of Fushui Island, he would not land without permission. Chen Ping'an became more and more confused about what happened to Li Liu's practice in Luzhou, Beiju over the years.
Such a scene. But there are no records in so many landscape newspapers.
In addition to working tirelessly to refine the aura of the landscape during these days, Chen Ping'an would also stabilize and expand the pattern of the two key acupoints in Shuifu Mountain Temple. He would also be as focused as a mustard seed to look inside and watch the sword energy as fierce as an iron cavalry knocking at the gate, as well as the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
The sword tips were used to grind the dragon-slaying platform separately, and sparks flew everywhere, just like the forged iron sword made by Master Ruan in his hometown, filling the room with brilliance.
The Dragon Palace Cave is like spring all year round, with no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer. It often rains, both light rain and torrential rain. Whenever it rains, Chen Ping'an discovers that there will be Taoists on the nearby islands, most of whom are earthly immortals.
Flowing, or bathing in the sweet rain, using the small world of the human body, with the door of the house wide open, to quickly absorb the spiritual energy of water mist, or offering magic weapons on the mountain such as jade pots, spring bottles, inkstones, etc., to intercept rainwater so that no drop of it touches the island ground.
In my spare time, I began to read through the collection of stories in which everyone died in the end. The process was different, most of them had different personalities, the methods of death were all strange, and the hands of the people who died in the end were even more diverse.
At the top of the mountain at the Xianfu ruins, when the long river of time was stagnant, this book fell to the ground after the death of the great demon, and was given to Chen Ping'an by Taoist Sun.
Chen Ping'an found a bamboo-handled oil-paper umbrella on Fushui Island. As long as he was not practicing at that time, every time it rained, he would go out for a walk no matter day or night. He would walk around Fushui Island, covering about thirty miles of landscape.
The journey depends on each other, and we walk alone holding an umbrella.
Among the three plaques, Li Liu's Chilong jade plaque with the seal "Three Feet of Sweet Rain" engraved on it has been taken off by Chen Ping'an and placed within a stone's throw.
Li Yuan's piece of "Jun Qingyu Xiang" used to control the landscape formation, and the Shuilong Sect's wooden sign "rest" for crossing the bridge, are still hanging on his waist. When walking in the rain, occasionally if the steps are slightly larger, there will be subtle
Knocking sound.
In the rain that night, Chen Ping'an still held an umbrella and went out. Counting the time, Zhu Lian's reply should be coming soon.
Chen Ping'an stopped and looked towards the distance between the two islands of Baijia and Cangbeard. Suddenly, a gorgeous carriage jumped out of the lake. The carriage was as big as an attic, with four corners like cornices, hanging bells, and four snow-white horses running across the water.
At this time, the bells jingled like the sound of nature in the rain. Behind the carriage, there were maids in brocade robes with small clusters of flowers, and a large group of people who looked like courtiers in red and purple official robes, following the carriage through the water.
On the carriage, there was no groom driving the horse. There were only young Li Yuan and a slender beautiful woman standing on the carriage. Her hair was like a white jade bud, and she was wearing a finely twisted coat with small sleeves and a double placket, covered with light gauze, and fluttering.
If smoke.
Young Li Yuan changed into a round-necked yellow robe, a white jade belt around his waist, and soap boots on his feet.
When this team appeared, Chen Pingan noticed that there were strange phenomena on the two large islands of Baijia and Cangbeard. The surrounding water mist filled the shore and shrouded them. Soon, only their general outlines could be seen, but Chen Pingan could not
It is certain that it is because the island monk has activated the mountain protection formation, or because there is someone controlling the water method on the carriage side, which makes it inconvenient for the island monk to peek at the scene on the lake.
The carriage ran straight towards Chen Ping'an and did not land directly. It stopped a mile away from Fushui Island. Only Li Yuan and the woman with a high bun got out of the carriage and walked towards the island.
The woman seemed to have temporarily removed her blindfold, revealing her originally vague and uncertain face. With a pair of golden eyes, she was undoubtedly one of the local landscape gods.
Li Yuan and the woman walked up to Chen Pingan. Li Yuan introduced with a smile: "This is the empress of Nanxun Shui Palace who is in charge of the Dragon Palace Cave. Mr. Chen can call her Mrs. Shen."
Although it was raining heavily, Chen Pingan immediately put away his oil-paper umbrella and called Mrs. Shen.
The empress of the Water Palace gave her a great blessing and said, "Shen Lin, an old man from Nanxun Palace, has met Mr. Chen."
After she straightened up and stood up, she gently flicked her sleeves, and the rain stopped falling over Fushui Island.
When Chen Ping'an was used to speaking to others, he looked at the other person and accidentally discovered the true face of the Water Goddess. Her face was like celadon glaze. Not only that, the "porcelain surface" of her face was covered with tiny cracks. They are criss-crossed, and once someone takes a closer look, they look a bit scary. Chen Ping'an understood something, and did not pretend not to see anything. He held the oil-paper umbrella under his arm and looked at the golden-bodied Water Goddess who was already in a precarious situation. , clasping fists in apology.
Shen Lin seemed a little surprised and said with a smile: "Master Chen, you don't have to be like this. If the little god's appearance scares the master, it will be a big crime."
Li Yuan burst out laughing, seeming to find this statement interesting.
But Chen Ping'an didn't smile, so Li Yuan had no choice but to put away his smile and ask for trouble. If all the guys at the front of the Shuilong Sect's ancestral hall genealogy in the early years were still alive, there would have been laughter all around. It’s a blockbuster movie.
Chen Ping'an held an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and extended his other hand sideways.
Shen Lin glanced at Li Yuan, who quickly winked. Then she walked side by side with Mr. Chen, and then Li Yuan held the back of his head with both hands and followed slowly behind the two of them.
The Nanxun Water Palace is the first of many water gods in the Dragon Palace Cave, not to mention the mountain gods. The most statusless ones in this small cave are the little mountain gods who seem to be imprisoned by the surrounding water. Some of the Dayuan Dynasty Once the heroes and heroines who are waiting for the imperial decree from the Lu family, or the famous ministers and heroes who are still alive after death in other small countries, hear that they may be thrown into the Dragon Palace and canonized as gods, they may even think about dying again. No. It’s just selfishness, fear of entering this small cave world, there are too many restrictions, how can the fragrance of mountains compare to the fragrance of water? More importantly, after entering this small world and leaving home, as a god, how can he feed back the destiny of his country’s mountains and rivers? So any heroic spirit has Being the mountain and water god of Xiaodongtian is regarded as a kind of official relegation and exile, so he would rather be the town god of the small county than the mountain god of Dongtian.
And Shen Lin's claim to be a former member of Nanxun Palace is another very flattering statement, because the Dragon Palace Cave has a radius of 8,000 miles and has more than a thousand small and large islands. It has rich water transportation and is the best in any continent. , Hebo and Hepo have a total of thirty-two, and together with the main city and twelve large islands, there are mountain gods, city gods, and civil and military temples. Compared with water gods, there are more gods.
Li Yuan looked at the "woman" not far in front and sighed in his heart.
Compassion for each other.
It's just that what the Shuilong Sect can do is to increase the popularity of the Jinlu Dojo year after year. Although it can also repair the Nanxun Hall, similar to repairing houses in the market, it is not as good as his water dragon after all. It is absorbing incense and refining the essence, which is direct and effective. In the final analysis, this is where the cave is not as good as the blessed land. The cave is only suitable for those who practice Taoism. They can practice in twos and threes with peace of mind. It is a natural and pure state. It is difficult not to contend with the world, but the blessed land is A vast land with a large number of people is conducive to the gathering of the incense of all people, and it is the natural place for the gods.
Chen Pingan had a great conversation with Mrs. Shen.
It's a pity that Longgong Cave is not like Chunlu Pocai Que Mansion, which has a collection of bound volumes that can help people understand the customs of a place.
In fact, this is the first time Chen Pingan has heard of Nanxun Water Palace.
However, the gods with the title of Water Palace usually have a lot of background.
In Shujian Lake, the Zhuchai Island near Qingxia Island, the island owner Liu Chongrun, as the eldest princess of the subjugated country, had a legendary water palace in his homeland. This attracted the covetousness of the swordsman of the Zhu Ying Dynasty. Of course, the one born in The Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator of the Zhu Ying royal family is still planning to gain both wealth and wealth. Chen Ping'an has seen the mystery of the elixirs collected in the water palace, which makes the immortals salivate. According to Liu Chongrun, the most important kind of water is If you throw a pill at random, it will cause the Shujian Lake to set off a hundred-foot-high wave, causing endless competition.
Before Chen Ping'an left Luolu Mountain, Liu Chongrun had not really negotiated the relocation with Zhu Lian. In fact, Chen Ping'an didn't quite understand why Liu Chongrun insisted on dividing the female cultivators of Zhuchai Island into two parts. Except for the Zushi Hall staying in Shujian Lake, he would Most of the descendants of the Patriarch Hall were sent to Longquan County to practice. Now that Shujian Lake has rules and Jiang Shangzhen’s Zhenjing Sect is in charge, it is completely different from the lawless Shujian Lake before. To put it bluntly, Liu Chongrun With that little bit of property, the Zhenjing Sect really wouldn't be interested in getting rich.
After moving to Longquan County, Chen Ping'an was still living under someone else's roof. Chen Ping'an should not miss a single piece of the fairy money from Zhuchai Island. Zhuchai Island not only mobilized troops and mobilized Liu Chongrun's financial resources, but Chen Ping'an really couldn't figure out how Liu Chongrun did the business.
Just like Chen Ping'an didn't understand the relationship between Li Liu and Li Yuan, nor did he understand the involvement of Shen Lin and Li Yuan, so the whole journey was spent on polite exchanges with the Water Goddess of Nanxun Palace.
m Since he was used to doing this on Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake, Chen Ping'an has already become extremely skilled. He can deal with it flawlessly, and his words are polite, but he does not make people feel alienated and cold. For example, he will humbly ask Fu Shui for advice from Shen Lin. Of course, Shen Lin knew everything about the origin of the island's princess' ascension monument. As Shuizheng Li Yuan, the two oldest ancient gods in Dragon Palace Cave Heaven, they were very knowledgeable about the personnel and affairs of their own territory.
Li Yuan listened to the two guys who had met for the first time chatting animatedly in the front.
I think it's a bit fun.
It's just fun, but also a little sad.
That high-ranking co-owner of the world, after countless years, finally made a trip to the Dragon Palace Cave in Jidu to escape the summer heat. What was the result? Even Nanxunshui Palace didn't bother to take a look. Even Shen Yuan, who had no merit, was suffering. Shen Lin was too tired to say a word or two.
Li Yuan could even be sure that if this "Mr. Chen" hadn't come to visit, she would not have even looked at the co-owner of the Jianghu, Ji Du Shuizheng, who had been looking after a summer palace for countless years.
It's so heartless.
Li Yuan always felt that neither he nor Shen Lin was a god of high rank, and could be regarded as indifferent to worldly feelings. But compared to that unattainable ancient god, he seemed like a kind of infatuated person in the world.
Shen Lin seemed to be in a lively conversation and took the initiative to introduce Mr. Chen to the customs and customs of Dragon Palace Cave.
This is what Chen Pingan most wants to hear.
This has always been the case since Chen Ping'an first went on a long trip with Xiao Baoping and the others.
When you go up the mountain to ask the woodcutter, when you go down to the water, you ask the boatman, when you enter the city and cross the town, you have to ask the local people. Chen Ping'an did it himself back then. Even Li Baoping, who thinks things the most seriously and is very meticulous in doing things, wants to be a little master. Uncle shares worries, but Chen Pingan is still worried.
After that, I traveled around alone and it was still the same.
As long as Chen Pingan feels that he cannot fully understand the unfamiliar land and water in any place and see the context thoroughly, he will feel uneasy.
This is probably related to the series of disturbances such as the ghost blocking the road in the early years, the incident at Flying Eagle Castle, the accidental entry into the Lotus Flower Blessed Land, and the murderous plot behind the scenes in the Ghost Valley.
Chen Ping'an knew that if his character went to an extreme in this matter and he never made a change, it would be a bumpy road in his spiritual practice.
This idea suddenly came to Chen Pingan's mind after meeting Li Liu.
Because after Chen Ping'an compared Li Liu's words and deeds here, he found that even if he returned to his hometown, except for sitting alone in his ancestral home on Ni Ping Lane, he could still think about nothing. , in the Qilong Lane shop, I was also used to immersing myself in the paranoid state of mind of "I know everything, no matter the trivial things." That's why Chen Ping'an was so envious of the two immortal magical powers, which could shrink a thousand miles into a square inch, and That god-man sees the mountains and rivers in his palm.
Especially the words that Li Liu casually said, "If you are in an unstable state of mind, no matter how far you walk, you will still be trying to build a wall", it was just a word that woke up Chen Ping'an, the man in his dream.
Chen Pingan dares to say that he has always known what he wants, where he wants to go, and what kind of person he wants to be.
However, along the way, the road turned out to be bumpy and bumpy, not all due to the fate of the world. Chen Pingan himself also had many "self-inflicted blessings and misfortunes".
So Chen Ping'an would sit on the ridge of the roof that day, feeling that the world was vast and he didn't know how to settle down and take the next step.
After ten years of agreement, he became a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm and returned to Daoxuan Mountain.
Rebuilt a Bridge of Immortality and successfully refined five natal items.
Become a true swordsman in your mind and strive to become a free great swordsman at the same time.
But manpower is limited, and so is mental energy.
At the moment, Chen Ping'an, he was thinking far and wide, weighing details, and it was not just these three major things? How could it be as simple as just owing a few thousand grain rain coins? What he had to do was not just these household matters?
Things are a mess, big and small.
How should we prioritize each day, how should we devote our mental energy and time to each specific matter according to our own principles?
Chen Pingan stopped subconsciously.
The Water Goddess of Nanxun Palace did not show any signs of stopping.
Li Yuan had been doing nothing behind the two of them, carefully counting the number of Dragon Palace specialty pearls that were refined into tiny mustard seeds in Shen Lin's light gauze robe, which was at most three or four weights. At this moment, he had already counted nine thousand. Many.
