Chen Ping'an found a lively inn to stay, but he still needed to use the gold and silver to pay the bill. The three of them stayed for three days, and the total amount was twenty-two eight cents. The shopkeeper took out a scale and used small scissors to cut the silver pieces deftly.
When Chen Pingan saw this thing, he remembered for no reason the equipment in Yang's shop in the early years. In addition to cutting silver pieces when buying and selling, they also specialized in weighing certain high-priced rare herbs. Therefore, every time Chen Pingan saw it when he was a child,
If the store clerk is willing to mobilize people to take out this thing to weigh a certain herbal medicine, then the child who is carrying a large basket and standing under the high counter will purse his lips tightly, hold the ropes on his shoulders with both hands, and his eyes will be particularly bright.
, I just feel that most of the hard work, wind, sun, rain, etc. are nothing.
His thoughts were racing and he couldn't hold back, because the weight in front of him was a weighing instrument. Chen Pingan thought about the time scale and the weights and measures in the world now. Naturally, he remembered what Song Jixin mentioned in the Dadu Temple.
Dial the Dragon Qi Practitioner across the river. Because the scales on the inn counter, the scale pan, the ebony pole, and several small white copper weights were obviously common objects from the mountain, so Chen Pingan took a glance and found that they were the same as those in the entry city books.
, they were not real objects, so he didn’t look at them or think about them any more.
Pei Qian had a set of scales herself, and two of them had the words "never lose money" and "only make money" engraved on them, so now it was as if they were related to each other, like meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, and they were naturally close to each other.
, Pei Qian was more attentive than Chen Pingan, and when she looked carefully, she suddenly whispered to Chen Pingan: "Master, this set of scales uses horn poles, which ordinary people cannot afford."
Chen Ping'an laughed in his heart and said: "Most of it is an item from a wealthy family that has fallen into ruin and is now living in the market. Unfortunately, no matter how valuable the material is, this item is still a virtual thing and we can't take it away."
Pei Qian nodded, thought for a while, and then asked: "There is a line of small words on the scale beam, 'Shanyang is generous, Neiku is respectfully made.' Master, is there anything to say here?"
Chen Pingan shook his head, "I don't know, but since it was made in the inner treasury, it must be a palace object. I just don't know the specific dynasty."
Pei Qian asked: "Master, after we settle down at the inn, I will go to the Fuzhi Bookstore alone to find out what 'Shanyang Dafang' is?"
Chen Pingan laughed dumbly. The world's knowledge is so complex. There is really no limit to the learning sea. However, Pei Qian is willing to explore. Of course Chen Pingan will not refuse her eagerness to learn and seek knowledge. He nodded and said: "Okay."
He asked for two rooms at the inn, and Chen Pingan stayed alone. After sitting down in the room, he opened the cotton package and spread it on the table. Pei Qian came here to say goodbye to his master, then left the inn alone and ran to Toutucheng Bookstore.
, to check the origin of the strange inscription "山阳大方", Xiao Mili ran into the house and put her beloved green bamboo stick on the table. She stood on the bench next to Chen Pingan, accompanying Hao Renshan
The Lord looked at the treasures that he had picked up together. The little girl was a little greedy and asked if she could play with them. Chen Ping'an was flipping through the booklet given by the bearded guest, and nodded with a smile. He handled the millet grains with care, and the scroll,
The paperweight was not even interested, but she finally began to admire the narcissus basin that she had noticed early on. She raised her hands high in the air and was filled with admiration. She even rubbed her face against the slightly cold porcelain basin, which was so cool.
Chen Ping'an opened a page of the booklet and said with a smile: "I'll give it to you if you like it. But I've agreed in advance that the small basin is fake and you can't take it with you. You can only stay on the ferry for a few days and play around. Don't do anything else then.
sad."
This porcelain basin has a good origin. In the brochure presented by the bearded guest, it is praised as a narcissus monastery cave. The bottom is "Eight Hundred Water Origins". It is somewhat "relative" to the small gilt water vat and can be regarded as a monastery.
The natural water palace is similar to the water palace and dragon boat that Liu Chongrun secretly salvaged in Zhuchai Island in his early years with the help of Zhu Lian and others. Unfortunately, the Narcissus Basin is also an illusion refined by the immortal master.
Xiaomi Li held the narcissus basin, shook his head vigorously and said: "I just like it, so I have to look at it more. Even if the little basin is real, I don't want it, otherwise I will take it to Luolu Mountain and spend every day
I'm worried about being attacked by robbers, which will delay my mountain patrol."
Chen Pingan read the booklet several times, but it didn't contain much and he had nothing to do.
According to the many detailed records about these objects in the booklet, not only the narcissus basin, but also the bundle of dead plum blossom branches, as well as the "Uncle Ye" ebony paperweight, as well as the weird moon-catching flower pot and the "dressing" scroll, are just chance clues.
One of the links, just as a bridge connecting the other two things, the baggage house of the bearded guest Zhang San actually only has an ancient "Yunmeng Changsong" bow, which is a genuine object and has been acquired by Chen Pingan, but at the moment
The rank is still difficult to determine, and Chen Pingan feels that this bow is a bit hot to handle.
As for the small gilt water tank that served as the gate to the palace, the Qingniu Taoist priest did not know how to break the rules, so he gave it to Shao Baojuan who answered the question. Then a real chance came to Chui Gong City where the emperor and the monarchs gathered together.
Shao Baojuan can ask for a "sealing" in a certain sense, so that the water tank can turn from empty to real. The depth of the water in the water tank depends on Shao Baojuan and a certain emperor in Chuigong City who "talks about the Constitution of Heaven"
The brochure says that this item can be complementary to the "Dragon King Basket". The Dragon King Basket is superior to all dragons in the world, but Menhai can use dragon energy as bait to raise water descendants from all over the world and keep them in water tanks.
It is a so-called "semi-walking water" on the mountain. It is caught and raised, and it is seamless.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "We will go back to Beiju Luzhou Dumb Lake. We can stay there for a few more days. Are you happy?"
Xiaomi Li smiled from ear to ear, but said: "It's just so so, I'm happy that the mouth of the bowl is big."
She placed the narcissus basin on the table, leaned on the table, and added, "When we return to Luopo Mountain, it will be as big as a table."
Chen Ping'an joked: "My senior brother Zuo is not very good-tempered, especially with strangers, and it is difficult to talk to strangers. Even with me, my younger brother, senior brother Zuo never smiles, so he is very fond of millet grains."
I was amazed.”
Xiao Mili rested her chin on her arm and asked softly: "Good mountain master, will you miss the mountain master's wife?"
Chen Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and nodded: "Of course I will think about it."
Xiaomi Li's eyebrows were arched and he said, "I don't think it's like that."
Chen Pingan put down the booklet, picked up the ebony paperweight and played with it in his hand, as if joking: "You have to make yourself not think that way before you can stop thinking that way. Do you want to?"
Xiaomi Li frowned and said cleverly: "That's what the mountain master said."
Chen Ping'an read the brochure. In fact, now he is equivalent to inheriting the bearded guest's baggage restaurant, and he can also set up a stall on the ferry to welcome guests.
Standing up and putting down the ebony paperweight, Chen Pingan twisted out a lamp-raising talisman, hung it in the air, and burned it slowly. Then he walked to the window. There was a talisman in the book he handed out earlier. The bearded man took the book at that time.
At that time, he knew it well, but he still helped to cover it up and did not take it out and return it to Chen Pingan. This meant that Chen Pingan's move did not break the rules of night sailing. After the bearded guest rode a donkey out of the city, the book contained the
The talisman fell into the sea like a mud cow and disappeared without a trace.
If you don't hit the wall, you won't know where the boundaries are.
After Chen Pingan boarded the night boat this time, he still followed the local customs and generally followed the rules, but there were some small things that still needed to be tried. In fact, this is similar to fishing. You need to build a nest to lure fish in advance, and you need to know the depth of fishing first. Not to mention fishing
There is a lot of knowledge about catching big things, and there is a way to catch small things. At first, Chen Ping'an's goal was very simple, which was to rescue all the monks on the ferry boat in Luzhou, Beiju, within one month, leave the night boat, and return to Haoran together. As a result, in
In this entry into the city, Shao Baojuan first set traps again and again, and then Li Shilang, who treated guests with a cold face, Chen Pingan really didn't believe in evil, so he would try his best to give it a try.
Chen Ping'an was counting silently in his mind. When he turned around, a lamp-raising charm had just burned out. It was exactly the same as when he entered the city before, without any deviation.
Previously, the two sides met on a narrow road on the road to the unique Niaoju Mountain where Taoist Feng Jun lived. Probably because Chen Ping'an had always respected the senior and accumulated a lot of ethereal fortunes. After going back and forth, the two sides did not start to discuss any swordsmanship or Taoism.
After some amiable conversation, Chen Pingan made a deal with the Qingniu Taoist Priest using a temporary hand-drawn picture of the true shape of the Five Mountains. The shape and style of the picture of the Five Mountains drawn by Chen Pingan were extremely ancient, and were similar to those of the Qingniu Taoist priest.
All the Five Mountains Pictures in the later generations of Haoran Tianxia have quite a lot of discrepancies. The true version of the Five Mountains Pictures was first obtained by the Master of the Lotus Root Flower Blessed Land. Later, it was handed over to Cao Qinglang for safekeeping and then placed in the Lotus Root Flower Blessed Land in Luolu Mountain. Of course Chen Ping'an
No stranger to this.
Feng Jun finally got what he wanted, and he was very happy. Chen Pingan, a young young man who seemed to have a lucky star coming to his door, was even more impressed by the skinny old Taoist. In exchange, Chen Pingan learned that Feng Jun was just traveling to another city, so he asked the old Taoist to do it.
The old Taoist helped him take the long sword to another city for "night tour". Not only that, the old Taoist who was in a good mood took the initiative to do some additional small business with Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an told a few secrets about the ferry. Of course, Feng Jun only said a few things that could be said, such as the way to leave the ship and the method of leaving the city to change cities. How did Shao Baojuan become the lord of the city? What are the advantages of becoming the lord of a city?
If you act cheaply, the old gods will laugh and say nothing.
Chen Ping'an has always felt a connection with the long sword "Night Tour" that is no longer with him, just like a light swaying far away in the middle of the night, and Chen Ping'an, a passerby, is clearly visible in the night.
As long as Chen Pingan becomes ruthless and slashes the ferry boat to heaven and earth with one sword, and the two echo each other, Chen Pingan is confident that he can let Pei Qian and Xiao Mili leave the ferry first, and at the same time, he can go to the city where the prince is and continue to stay on this night boat.
When the time comes, let Pei Qian return to the Pima Sect ferry and send a message directly to Taihui Jianzong and Paidi Peak. On the other side of Luzhou in Beiju, Chen Ping'an's friends and respected seniors are actually not
few.
Xiao Mili stood on the bench and remembered something. He was so happy that he covered his mouth with his two little hands and laughed loudly: "Good Lord Mountain, we are traveling together again. This time let's go and meet that mountain for a while."
Mountain gods in the Immortal Mansion, don’t let others kick you out because you don’t know how to recite poems."
Chen Ping'an said seriously: "How is it possible? My poetry writing skills have greatly improved over the years, and I am not afraid of anyone. Xiaomi Li, I am not bragging to you. I used to meet someone who thought he was
The old monk who is a scholar is still in the Fourteenth Realm. He seems to be under the pseudonym Lu Fayan. Anyway, he admires the name of my poems and takes the initiative to find me at the top of the city. He says that my poems are in rhythm and are astonishing. He admires them endlessly and is willing to be my best. So
I feel heartbroken when I see him."
Xiaomi Li was shocked when she heard this, and clapped her hands quickly, looking bright and cheerful, "It's amazing!"
Alas, it’s just a pity that all of his eighteen martial arts skills are of no use, because during this trip to his hometown of Yaba Lake, Xiao Mili secretly asked the old cook for some poems, and wrote them all in a book.
The old cook was very attentive. He asked her if it was Xiao Mili who thought up the poem, right? Xiao Mili looked confused at that time. Who is a hammer? How could she know what he was? Zhu Lian let her do it herself
Copy it on the note, otherwise it will be exposed. Xiaomili suddenly realized that when she turned on the light and copied the poems one by one, the old cook was eating melon seeds and patiently answered Xiaomili, what word is in the poem and how to pronounce it?
Meaning.
Xiao Mili asked the old cook if these were all copied from the book. The old cook said no, he just thought of them on the spur of the moment.
The Lord and she were looked down upon by others. The old cook said no, no, and said that in his hometown, many people said that his poems were fished out from the water by the bright moon, broken from the willows at the ferry, and from the wine vats.
He picked it up, so he was still a bit heavy-handed. He did as he pleased, but it was the fairy words that many famous poets have been seeking for their entire lives.
Xiaomi Li was hesitant, but finally believed what the old cook said.
That night, under the lights on the table, the little girl was copying words and swinging her legs, while the old cook was eating melon seeds and chattering.
That's why Zhou Mili likes Luopo Mountain so much. Even though the good mountain owner is often away from home, there are still Pei Qian, the old cook, Sister Nuanshu, Jingqing Jingqing...
For the right protector of Luo Lo Mountain in the cave realm, the Great Sword Qi Wall is also a very good place. In Zhou Mili's heart, it is the third best place in the world after Luo Lo Mountain and Dumb Lake!
To be continued...
