The man and woman met each other in one's hometown and the other in a foreign land in their early years.
This is still the case today, but the two sides have switched. After all, Beiju Luzhou is half of her hometown, the founder of the Qingliang Sect.
For the lay people at the foot of the mountain, recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan is a top priority. The monks on the mountain who are pure and ascetic take this matter more seriously.
He Xiaoliang turned to the direct disciple behind him who was worshiped by the sect, and said, "Li Zhou, you go back to the top of the mountain first."
Although Li Zhou was a little lost, he immediately put away his distracting thoughts, respectfully accepted the order and left.
He Xiaoliang smiled and said, "Just take a walk?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "It's time to have a good chat. It's not the way a sect leader should behave."
He Xiaoliang turned around and walked into the alley, leaving the middle road, intentionally or unintentionally leaning to one side of the wall, while Chen Pingan walked on the other side.
He Xiaoliang asked: "In the Ghost Valley, how did you guess that Gao Cheng and I were secretly plotting against you?"
Chen Ping'an said: "It was all a vague coincidence. Then I thought that Sect Leader He was more sophisticated and more scheming, so he ran away quickly."
He Xiaoliang said: "I have no problem with my cultivation at the top of my mountain, but I almost fell into the realm. Do you think there are several sect leaders in the world who have just reached the Yupu realm, who will end up like this?"
Chen Ping'an recalled what he had seen when he bought tangerines before, and said with a smile: "If an apology can keep the relationship with Sect Leader He from being in conflict with each other, then I was wrong."
He Xiaoliang was noncommittal, changed the topic, and said, "You shouldn't have been able to say such things before."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "In the past, as long as I could live well, I could kowtow and beg for mercy."
He Xiaoliang said: "For example, if possible, would you beg to move the mountain ape and not seriously injure Liu Xianyang with one punch?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Of course. If that old beast felt that kowtowing was not sincere, I would try to kowtow to the old beast and kowtow a flower."
He Xiaoliang asked: "What happens after kowtow?"
Chen Ping'an didn't hide it, "What else can I do? Live an ordinary life. If there is an eventuality that gives me a chance to settle old scores, then let's talk about it. The wine on the mountain will always get better and better.
.”
He Xiaoliang asked again, "Now?"
As Chen Ping'an walked, he gently tossed the tangerine in his hand and said slowly: "I'm not good enough, so I'll drink to join in. What else can I do? I blame everyone, scream, and say that God doesn't open his eyes, and God will really pay attention to me."
?”
He Xiaoliang was about to ask again.
If this was the case in the past, what should it be like now?
Master Lu Chen once took her through a more complicated river of time, so she was able to see all kinds of things in the future.
Only the Chen Ping An in front of me was not among the "many Chen Ping An".
"There's no need to reminisce about the past."
Chen Ping'an held the tangerine, turned around and said with a smile: "He Zongzhu, please give me a pleasant word, can we walk on your Yangguan Road and I on my single-plank bridge in the future?"
He Xiaoliang pointed to the sky and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask my master? Master really wants to issue a decree. As a closed disciple, I dare not disobey."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Then I have to be more capable, but I don't know how much wine I had to drink before that."
Since the other party is not sincere, it will be difficult to talk.
He Xiaoliang didn't mind what Chen Pingan was thinking at all. The only thing she cared about was how Chen Pingan would go in the future and whether he would become a big trouble on his own path.
I think back to that time, when the straw-sanded boy carrying a basket with a pile of snake gallstones met by the waterside for the first time, it was not just the disparity in status that made him look up at the group of people standing on the stone cliff, but also the young man's mood at that moment.
The road is muddy.
I never thought that after all these years, my level would still be very different, but my morale would be much higher.
He Xiaoliang said softly: "Chen Ping'an, do you know your temperament? Every time you walk a little higher, you are more cautious and steady every step. As long as your enemy sees a clue that he wants to kill you, he will
will be more determined.”
"What, am I wrong?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Then I have to have a word of conscience with Sect Master He. Do you think if I don't gradually climb higher, no one will just stretch out a finger and crush me to death? I don't think there are a few, or I think
The gain outweighs the loss, or the practice is focused on the dog, and what you ask for cannot be obtained. When I think of this, my good mood after meeting Sect Master He in a foreign land becomes even better."
He Xiaoliang said casually: "You think they were at fault first, then have you ever thought about the possibility that you didn't do anything wrong, but you are the one who made the mistake?"
Chen Ping'an still looked calm, "This kind of talk that makes people fly in the streets and alleys, actually, I don't bother to say it to the sect master. For so many years, near the Mud Bottle Lane in my hometown, it was not just casual remarks by peers who were just having fun.
"There are also some bastards who deliberately talk about this. It's disgusting. There are many elderly neighbors and many good people with good intentions. The way they look at me sometimes is actually saying something similar to my words."
He Xiaoliang was silent for a long time.
The end of the alley.
He Xiaoliang stopped and said, "So you already knew the truth."
Chen Pingan said: "Master He, I don't quite understand what you are talking about."
He Xiaoliang smiled and said: "It's enough to understand in your heart."
Chen Pingan asked: "Enough?"
He Xiaoliang smiled and said, "It's not enough."
As if he had figured out something in his mind out of nowhere, He Xiaoliang turned around and faced Chen Ping'an, "I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain in the vast world. Other than that, you and I will go our separate ways."
This reunion at the Jidu estuary was both a chance encounter and an inevitable one.
Everything He Xiaoliang wants to accomplish can often come true.
If you are not convinced by her deep blessing, just endure it.
When Chen Ping'an got an answer that was better than expected, he smiled and said, "Then I won't send congratulations to the sect master."
He Xiaoliang smiled and said: "I didn't say I was leaving immediately. As a sect leader, I have to worry about everything. It's rare to go out. When you meet your sweetheart that you can't let go of, shouldn't you cherish it?"
Chen Pingan said two names: "Xu Xuan, Li Zhou."
He Xiaoliangyan smiled and said: "One can keep his hands shut, and the other can keep his mouth shut, so that you won't be distracted."
Chen Pingan remained silent.
He Xiaoliang pretended to be surprised and said: "Why, is it still my fault?"
Chen Ping'an really had the idea of ​​punching her to death.
He Xiaoliang said in a considerate way: "I'm not good enough, so I'll drink to make up for it. Do you have any good wine? I have some of the best Xianjia wine in Luzhou, Beiju, and I'll give it to you."
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "It's a pity to kill Sect Master He with one punch. I'm talking nonsense, Sect Master He, don't be angry."
Even if you can kill him with one punch, you still need two punches.
He Xiaoliang actually squinted his eyes and smiled, stretched out a hand and put it gently to his mouth, shook his head gently and said: "Don't be angry, it is a good thing that we have a long-awaited sincerity towards each other.
.”
Chen Ping'an walked out of the alley, and He Xiaoliang, who used his blinding technique again, walked with him. There was a distance between the two sides, so they still couldn't be considered walking side by side.
Chen Pingan looked ahead, seeing the streets bustling with traffic, and asked, "When are you leaving?"
He Xiaoliang said: "Probably later than you think."
Chen Pingan asked: "He Xiaoliang, have you always been like this?"
He Xiaoliang smiled and said, "Isn't it the same for you? It's just that I knew about myself from the beginning, and you, Chen Ping'an, knew about it later, so it's even more difficult."
The two walked out of the city and walked along Dadu towards the shore of the West Sea in Luzhou, Beiju.
Chen Ping'an climbed onto a high platform by the sea and suddenly said: "He Xiaoliang, the Taoism you are pursuing so hard is like Ning Yao in my heart. Is it understandable to say so?"
He Xiaoliang nodded and said: "Of course I can understand why this is difficult. But the problem is that I don't want to accept this result."
Chen Pingan looked into the distance and said nothing.
He Xiaoliang hesitated for a moment, squatted aside and asked, "Since I dropped by earlier, why don't you go to the academy to have a look?"
She actually just left the academy not long ago.
Chen Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth, clasped his hands lightly and placed them on his knees, his sleeves naturally drooping, "If Lu Chen died because of you, would you go to Bai Yujing and the three major avenues to watch?"
He Xiaoliang was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Chen Ping'an, in fact, until today, I didn't feel that becoming a Taoist couple with you is not a hurdle for me. It turns out that this is the best marriage in the world."
Chen Pingan took off the bamboo box, took out the sword gourd, sat cross-legged, drank slowly, and said for no reason, "The road shouldn't be so small."
