When Chen Ping'an was taking a nap in the Patriarch Hall, everyone outside the door was quietly waiting for the mountain master to show up.
For those who practice Taoism, getting a good rest and a deep sleep is the top priority. Life is just two things: waking up and sleeping. Throughout your life, you will wake up when you come and fall asleep when you leave.
Cui Dongshan put his hands in his sleeves, glanced at Jiang Shangzhen, who had frosty white temples, and said with a smile: "The sun and the moon grind against the ants, and I am whirling."
Jiang Shangzhen was originally admiring Mi Jianxian for his carefree life, while Mi Yu sincerely admired Chief Zhou for his iron shoulders and moral integrity.
Hearing Cui Dongshan's sigh, Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "What a drunken person, I read the sword by the light and asked if I had any injustice."
Mi Yu was confused when he heard this. He suffered from the disadvantage of not studying much, but he had no reason to pretend to be a wealthy businessman, go to the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain, dress in white and ride a horse, so as to get to know some lively and lovely heroines.
Cui Dongshan began to complain that Cao Qinglang had won three consecutive exams in the blessed land. When he arrived at the Dali Examination Hall, he was the second best in the new subject, and he could only be a sixth-grade Hanlin editor in Dali. This made him lose his meritorious status in the Middle-earth Divine Continent.
Okay, I don’t even have the nerve to brag to my master. Mr. Dong from the Confucian Temple and Zhou Mi, the head of the old Yufu Academy, these two stinky chess players, after reading several of your articles on imperial examination craftsmanship, their evaluations are not too high, Master.
You are a scholar with a great reputation, so what else can you do? I have to ask Mr. Dong and Mr. Zhou to help you draw a circle and make an annotation and take it.
Cao Qinglang took over the "stolen" answer sheets from the Dali Department of Rites and couldn't laugh or cry. There were indeed Zhu's comments from Master Dong and Master Zhou on them. There were many circles and many comments. There were criticisms, but not many. There were more.
Pay attention to the words of praise that are measured and measured.
In fact, not only the answer sheets compiled by Cao Cao, but also the answer sheets for the first, third, and second-level imperial examinations of this year were swept away by Cui Dongshan and moved to Gongdelin. After finishing the examination, Mr. Dong said with emotion, "The clouds are steaming and the clouds are shining brightly."
Gathering together in Dali, everyone enjoys the beauty of mountains and rivers.
Cao Qinglang asked: "Senior Brother, when will I resign from my position as Hanlin Editor?"
In fact, it was not Cao Qinglang's original intention to participate in the Dali imperial examination. It was Zhu Lian's instigation. Mr. Zhong also thought it was feasible. Cao Qinglang took the government examination, the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination step by step, and got the second place in the examination. It was like literary studies.
For the Holy Lineage, just talking about the imperial examinations, all the burden fell on Cao Qinglang's shoulders, and Cao Qinglang did not disappoint. Even if the Dali Dynasty returned half of the country, it was still the scholars from half of the continent who were fighting for the carp jump.
Longmen, especially the Dali imperial court's first-ever Peidu Examination, and the two Capital Palace Examinations, there were countless talented people, all of whom were first-class academic seeds without exception, so Cao Qinglang's second place in the new subject was extremely important.
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "What are you going to do if you resign? Later, my senior brother will help you get a job of compiling history books, and he will also help you with the official assessment. Just treat it as a Hanlin Lang, and sit on the bench for a few years."
On the right side of the Sui Dynasty, Confucius Zhongqiu stood together. One of them resolutely gave up martial arts and turned to practice swordsmanship, determined to become a swordsman and rise to the top with his sword. The other one was actually able to practice Confucian magical powers in the middle and was consistent with the teachings of sages and sages in the book.
The contract, the final golden elixir, are not ordinary people.
Although the person on the right side of the Sui Dynasty was stern in the face of the other three people in the scroll, he respected Master Zhong very much and said some congratulatory words: "Master Zhong has combined the golden elixir with the gentleman's demeanor of a Confucian academy, which is very commendable."
Zhong Qiu smiled and said: "But ask about hard work, not about harvest. You and I can encourage each other."
In fact, Zhong Qiu knew about the gentleman who lived in their hometown in the Sui Dynasty. Zhong Guoshi had read various books, secrets of the world, and unofficial history of officials. He read everything. That scholar had always been regarded as a Confucian sage in Ouhua Blessed Land.
, and at the same time, he is also a mysterious and mysterious swordsman. Anyway, according to the notes of scholars, most of the methods in the wild history are nothing more than opening his mouth and spitting out a sword pill, a white light flashing, and the head rolling down. As for Zhongqiu's "Literary Saint and Martial Master"
According to the saying, the so-called "literary sage" can actually be regarded as the model of the later generations of the gentleman on the right of Sui Dynasty.
Lu Baixiang asked Wei Xian, "Why don't you accept a disciple?"
Wei Xian replied: "Wait until your disciple accepts a disciple, and then I will accept him. He is young and senior, so he is taking an advantage in vain. If he has no future, he will be beaten to death."
Pei Qian suddenly said: "Old Wei, what do you mean about the battle on the battlefield? The one-character long snake formation and the dragon gate formation are just fixed ranks, with six characters vertically and horizontally. In the end, each one relies on his own ability to kill and chop with knives."
Go. I didn’t believe it before and always thought you were telling nonsense. But when I went to Jinjiazhou, it seemed like this was really the case.”
Wei Xian was silent for a moment and rubbed his chin, "I usually can't say such learned words. Could it be that I said it after drinking?"
Pei Qian said: "Trouble, Old Wei, just accept it as soon as you see fit."
Lu Baixiang laughed loudly, "Massive, massive."
Zhou Mili was whispering to Sister Nuanshu, secretly comparing the number of melon seeds in their sleeves.
After Chen Pingan walked out of the gate of the Patriarch Hall, he found that everyone was silent and looked at him with strange eyes. Chen Pingan looked left and right, nothing unusual, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
Cui Dongshan whispered: "Sister?"
The implication is that at this critical juncture, it is the senior sister's turn to take action.
Pei Qian asked doubtfully: "What?"
Cui Dongshan lamented and felt very regretful. It was a pity that the old god Jia from Qilong Lane was not present. Otherwise, it would have been a good start, but the storm would have been unstoppable.
Chen Ping'an stepped forward quickly and asked: "How can we arrange it later? We can't make a lot of noise and rush in, right?"
Zhu Lian smiled and said, "Young Master has decided."
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, "Don't be too noisy. I'll return the favor later. Just one or two people from each mansion will accompany me to the door. Let's go down the mountain together first. I'll call your name then. Those who have finished their business can go back first.
.”
In fact, there is a custom of "asking for the New Year's Eve dinner" in the small town. Every household will go from house to house. After the New Year's Eve dinner, but before dark, the table will be filled with wine and food again. Young and strong men will punch fists and drink.
Eat vegetables. The children do not join in the fun with the adults. They play by themselves. They go in groups and go to every house to eat sweets and melon seeds. They will bring a small cloth bag with them. As long as it is not a feudal portal, the children will
They coaxed them up, calling uncle and aunt, and the elderly people would sit by the fire that night. The names of the children confused the seniority, and the old people would not care if they called them higher or lower.
Neighbors with whom we have a bad relationship will have some children waiting in the alley outside the door.
According to the small town dialect, the words "ask" and "dream" have the same pronunciation. So when Chen Ping'an went out for the first time to travel, he specifically discussed this issue with Xiaobaoping. Should he ask about the night meal or dream about the night meal.
Among the dozen or so mansions where guests stayed, there were two sword immortals admiring a couplet in the study.
There are thirty plum blossom trees around the house, and the bookshelves are filled with two thousand books.
Shao Yunyan praised: "It's full of smoke and clouds, this is the mansion of the Immortal Family."
There was a little money fan squatting in the hall, slowly circling around a pair of cloud-patterned Taishi chairs. Only then did the little girl realize that there were seal characters on the back of the chairs, which read "Wind and sun are beautiful" and "Clouds are clear and moon is bright". The chairs are
It's new, but the characters have an ancient charm.
Two ladies were walking in a green bamboo corridor. The blushing lady looked up and saw a string of iron horses under the eaves. Dozens of thin jade birds were hung on the outside of the eaves with thin blue threads. The birds flew in the wind.
Ding dong sound.
Mrs. Gui was looking at a Feng Shui stone outside the corridor. It was engraved with the Chinese characters "Isolated on the cliff, if you climb up to the natural ground" in cursive writing. Perhaps because the meaning was still unfinished, someone inscribed four small characters in official script on the lower right corner, "The stone is me."
In the pavilion of a house, Liu Baobao of Caique Mansion is making tea. There is a purple sand teapot with the base "Han Yu", which is specially used for drinking ice tea. The monogram does not say "Hou".
A huge mountainous landscape hanging in the middle hall, two feet long, is so majestic that it seems like a scene from a fairy home on the horizon, flying into this royal color screen.
At first glance, it is the handiwork of Fan, the master of painting in the mountains in China. If you look closely, it is still the same. There is nothing wrong with it. The signature, seal, and monogram are all excellent evidence.
But in fact, it was the old cook who had taken off his apron and returned to his study. He held a pen in both hands and held another one in his mouth, writing and drawing at will.
It's nothing more than a few paintings by famous artists purchased from Hongzhu Town Bookstore.
The thirty-six guest residences in Jise Peak, from the French drawings, landscape patterns, to all details, every couplet, the writing of calligraphy and painting, the selection of every article for the study, the design of every bamboo chair
The creation and firing of every teapot and every bamboo leaf bookmark were all done by Zhu Lian who took some time off from his busy schedule.
————
The first residence in Jise Peak, Chen Ping'an just crossed the threshold with Zhang Lu Changsheng.
This group of guests were Dong Gu and Liu Xianyang, the founder disciples of the Longquan Sword Sect. They were from the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Fengxue Temple. The relationship between the Longquan Sword Sect and the Fengxue Temple was known to everyone in the continent.
Dong Gu, who was born as a monster, had a very good impression of Luo Po Mountain. Moreover, among the expensive sword talismans, Luo Po Mountain bought the most. One was dedicated to Zhou Fei, and the other was a Taoist friend who lived a long life, both of which were like addictions.
Chen Ping'an and Dong Gu exchanged polite greetings with thoughtful etiquette.
As for Liu Xianyang, there was no need to say any polite words, so after sitting down, Chen Pingan mostly chatted with Wei Jin.
Wei Jin said that he would not stay in Luopo Mountain for a long time, and would soon go overseas. The demon clan still had many fish that escaped into the sea, which could be used for sword practice.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties also said that in today's vast world, the weather has changed, and many opportunities for immortals have arisen. They only said that a suspended lake appeared out of thin air in Aquarius Island. On the island in the middle of the lake, there is an ancient building like an ancestral temple, with a plaque with three words,
The word "Autumn Wind" is clearly visible, but only half of the last word is the word "Si". The complete description is probably the Qiufeng Temple. But the Qi practitioners who are looking for the immortal fate of this place go in without any clue.
Everyone gained nothing when they came out. All they knew was that there was a group of ethereal drum crows living inside, holding fallen leaves in their beaks.
In addition, on the South China Sea, there is an Immortal family ferry that is at least a half-immortal soldier. It is enough to travel across continents. It is very large, like a huge city. On the ferry, there is only one person who looks like
A strange monk who was born from the manifestation of the great road. However, the whereabouts of this ferry are uncertain. Whether he can board the ferry depends on chance. However, all the people who boarded the boat fell into the sea and no one could leave. After that, a Liuxiazhou fairy female cultivator
Cong Qian and a Chinese swordsman boarded the ship to investigate. Unexpectedly, they still couldn't keep the ferry. They were almost "persuaded to stay as guests for a hundred years" by the young monk who seemed to have no boundaries. The two sides could only forcefully break through.
Only by opening up the small world can we return to the vast world.
The Autumn Wind Temple in Aquarius Continent, the nameless ferry drifting in the South China Sea, the Shanshi Guanhai Tower in Jinjia Continent...
After the border between the vast world and the barbaric world, opportunities for the immortal family sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
Chen Ping'an naturally has no interest in the Qiufeng Temple, but if someone from Luolu Mountain wants to go down the mountain to experience it, he can give it a try and try his luck. Anyway, it is not as dangerous as the ferry.
Liu Xianyang personally walked Chen Pingan to the door and suddenly raised his arms.
To be continued...
