The innkeeper is an old man. The business of the inn is good, but not so good that there is only one room left. The old man just looks at the man in green shirt who carries a sword and travels around the world. He is quite pleasing to the eye. His clothes are neat and his expression is kind. Unlike
He was a troublemaker, so I helped him, but I couldn't help him in vain. When I asked for a price, I asked for a few more taels of silver. The shopkeeper was afraid of being scolded and his good intentions would be treated like a donkey, so he looked at the other person first to see if he would appreciate it.
, I didn’t expect that the man immediately looked back, saying nothing. Oh, I can’t tell, he is quite experienced, and he is on the right track.
The shopkeeper collected a few grains of broken silver, which was the official silver of the Great Li Dynasty. After putting it on the scale, he cut off the corners and gave some to the man. The old man took two more customs clearance documents and wrote them down.
Those who check the account books and case books will be sued if they don't match up. The old man glanced at the man and sighed in his heart, "You can buy youth with ten thousand gold. It's good to be young. There are some things that you won't be powerless about."
There is an old saying that beauty kills a young man, but the man in green shirt in front of me seems to be quite young, about thirty years old? How come he still looks like a young child? Could it be that he comes from a martial arts sect and his reputation is not famous enough, and he is just trying to build up his strength?
Now that you've become obsessed with martial arts, you can't think of finding a wife?
This couple looks like a man and woman who have left their hometown to travel. According to the Guan ultimatum, their ancestral homes are in Huaihuang County, Celadon County, Longzhou, Chen Ping'an and Ning Yao.
Since he is a native of Dali, the old man became even more kind-hearted. When handing back the certificate, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Since you are from Longzhou, don't you just raise your head and see the clouds of Lord Wei Dashan?"
Mountain? That’s a good place. I heard from my friends that there seems to be a place called Hongzhu Town. It is the confluence of three rivers.
When seeking marriage, everyone has his or her own effectiveness."
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded: "It seems like this. When we return to our hometown this time, we will all go and take a look."
The old shopkeeper was really talkative, and suddenly he was addicted to small talk. He handed over the room key without any hurry, leaned against the counter, pushed the man a plate of peanuts with his fingers, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are in Longzhou,
In addition to Mr. Wei's Piyun Mountain, there are many landscape temples and a fairy ferry. So don't you see traces of Mr. Wei every day? This is not the case here in the capital. The government has strict control, and the gods on the mountain dare not risk it.
Come and go in the clouds."
Obviously he was praising Longzhou, but in the final analysis, the old man still praised himself as a native of Lijing City.
Chen Ping'an looked at the treasure rack behind the counter, which contained large and small porcelain, and nodded with a smile: "Of course Longzhou cannot be compared with the capital. The rules here are very strict, and there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It's just not conspicuous. By the way, the shopkeeper likes it.
Porcelain is the only one that is good at it?"
The old man's eyes lit up, he met an expert? The old man lowered his voice and said: "I have a piece of porcelain that is a treasure in the store. People who have seen it say it is a hundred years old, and it was fired in your Longzhou official kiln.
Yes, I missed it. I only spent a dozen taels of silver that year. My friend said it was a top-notch product that opened the door at first sight. He wanted to ask me for a price of two hundred taels of silver. I didn’t lack money, so I didn’t sell it. Do you understand? Help me.
The eye of the palm is a large vase with a pink and white glaze base, a relatively rare eight-character auspicious inscription, and a painted figure."
The old man raised his hand to indicate the height. The vase must be about half a person's height.
Chen Pingan thought for a while and said softly: "It must have been less than a hundred years, at most forty years. During the Yuanshou period, a batch of large standing objects with auspicious inscriptions were indeed fired. The number was not large. Such large standing objects, according to the standards of that year,
The old rule of the dragon kiln is that if the quality is not good, all the items will be smashed, and no one can see the whole thing except the officials of the Supervision Department. As for the good ones, of course they can only be stored somewhere..."
Chen Pingan stretched out a finger and pointed towards the palace with a smile.
The old man sighed, it seemed that he had spent a lot of money in vain. He never thought that the man picked up the peanuts from the small plate, chewed them gently, and continued: "Such a big standing piece is already worth much more than a sitting piece or a lying piece.
Yes, it is another top-notch figure sculpture, incomparable to the flowers, birds and animals. Moreover, the eight-character official kiln stamp is particularly rare. Generally, it is a four-character or six-character stamp. If I remember correctly, it is the best among all dragons.
Inside the entrance of the kiln, it has only been fired for three years. Nowadays, there are some new official imitation officials. However, the old masters of Long Kiln have been able to work hard in these years, or they are old and have brought out their disciples and grandsons. In addition,
In the past, royal tributes were only sent to the palace, but they have become ordinary official kilns downgraded to a lower level. Therefore, the firing skills are actually not as good as before. The shopkeeper's piece, the year, glaze, color, and design are all correct. Moreover, the kiln supervisor at that time
Over at the building, I heard, just heard, that a small number of some large items of ordinary quality have flowed into the local wealthy families. Of course, it is more likely that some old masters left Long
The imitation official money made by the kiln owner in private is also very valuable. If there are no accidents, the treasure of the shopkeeper will be worth at least this amount. "
The old man looked at the man raising a palm and said in surprise: "Can it be sold for five hundred taels of silver?!"
Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing. In fact, he said everything that needed to be said. As for whether it was true or false, it didn't matter. Anyway, people like the old shopkeeper listened to what he should hear.
The old man suddenly smiled and said: "Since it's worth five hundred taels, then I'll sell it to you for three hundred taels?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, do you think I am a person with so much spare money? Besides, the shopkeeper has forgotten where I am from?"
The old shopkeeper laughed heartily and gave the man a thumbs up.
Ning Yao looked at the guy who chatted and laughed happily when he first met.
Do as the Romans do when you are in the country, talk to everyone and talk to ghosts, you can really have a few words with anyone.
If we keep talking like this, we can probably get the shopkeeper to bring out the wine, and eventually we can even get the money for the hotel back?
Chen Ping'an lay on the counter and asked casually with the old shopkeeper: "Is there anything happening in the capital recently?"
There is never a lack of excitement in the capital, with unusual official promotions and demotions, the visit of immortal masters from the top of the mountain, the rise of famous masters in the world, major water and land Dharma gatherings, chats between scholars, and poems by literary figures.
Common people's talk after dinner, not to mention that today's Aquarius Continent, especially the Dali government and the public, are increasingly interested in asking about other family affairs in the other eight continents in the world.
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, why not? Over at the Buhuo Temple, there will be a competition in two days between two of the four great masters of Wu Ping. Isn't this what you two came for?"
Two mountain-level warriors among the four great masters of martial arts have an appointment for a battle in the capital city of Dali. One is an old man from the old Zhu Ying Dynasty. He has been famous for a long time. He is 150 years old and is getting stronger.
She has mastered martial arts on the battlefield and reached the pinnacle of martial arts. The other woman is a female martial artist from a small country on the southwest coast of Aquarius. Her name is Zhou Haijing. Before the martial arts review came out, she had no reputation at all. It is said that she relies on the tide.
She has achieved great physique and state of mind, and it is said that she is quite handsome. The fifty-six-year-old mother-in-law does not look old at all. So nowadays, many young people from Jianghu sects and the libertines of the capital who hang out in the city are screaming.
If it had been left to the time when the old shopkeeper was young, it was just a martial arts competition between two golden body warriors, and they could find a place in the capital. It would be so lively that all the generals and younger brothers from Chier Street would definitely be out in force. Even now, even if it is
I heard that the two great masters of martial arts must obtain approval from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment in advance to practice Wen Quan. Both parties also need to sign a contract under the witness of the government, which is very troublesome.
However, what is most talked about in the temples and landscape official circles in the capital today is definitely the splendid Zhengyang Mountain celebration, with Liu Xianyang, the direct descendant of the Longquan Sword Sect, and Luolu Mountain watching the ceremony, especially the elegant blue-shirted figure of Chen Ping'an, the owner of the mountain.
Either a swordsman or a martial arts master.
Sure enough, in Aquarius Island, in addition to the Great Li Iron Cavalry, we also have sword energy like a rainbow, and our martial arts are at its peak.
Perhaps on the Dajiu Mountain ferry in the past, how did the young man who left his hometown view Li Tuanjing of Fengleiyuan?
So now, there are countless young people in the mountains and rivers of the continent, how do they view Luo Luoshan Chen Ping'an.
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "We are from a small sect. We were so busy traveling this time that we didn't even hear about it."
Although the old man was chatting happily and wanted to take this guy named Chen Ping'an to have a drink, he still handed him the key. A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so don't delay others from making money.
From the beginning to the end, Ning Yao didn't say anything. Previously, Chen Pingan paid for the bill at lightning speed. She didn't say anything to stop him. Now she was walking in the corridor with Chen Pingan. Ning Yao's steps were steady and his breathing was steady.
, when Chen Pingan opened the door and stood sideways, Ning Yao just crossed the threshold, picked a chair and sat down.
Something is wrong.
I feel like I'm going to be beaten.
Chen Ping'an stood there and asked tentatively: "I'll go talk to the shopkeeper again and see if I can free up another room?"
Ning Yao took off his sword case and stood it casually at his feet. He picked up the porcelain pot and poured a glass of water. "You've been drinking by the river for a long time. Why don't you sober up first?"
Chen Pingan gently closed the door, but did not bolt it. He did not dare. After sitting down, he took the tea cup. As soon as he picked it up, he heard Ning Yao ask: "Every time you travel around the world, do you carry so many customs clearance documents with you?"
Chen Ping'an drank the water and said: "It's just like the robe, the more the better, just in case of emergencies."
Ning Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "Where's my share? Although it's fake at first glance, before entering the capital, I didn't see you temporarily forging it."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You have to stay in Haoran for many years, but it will be useful after all. For example, I will take you to Xianyou to meet Brother Xu in the future. I was thinking about taking precautions a while ago. By chance, this is not true.
That’ll come in handy.”
"It took a lot of effort to find such an inn, right?"
"I was on the street before and glanced at the Duobao rack behind the counter. I saw something interesting, and I actually started chatting with the shopkeeper."
Ning Yao asked no more questions and nodded in praise: "The context is clear and well-founded. It is both accidental and inevitable. There is no fault at all."
Chen Ping'an said: "I'm going to go to that alley later and go to my senior brother's house to check out the books."
Ning Yao did not comment. He stood up and opened the window. He lay on the table with his cheek against the table and looked out the window. Because the inn was relatively close to Yichi Lane and Chier Street, there were bright lights everywhere in his field of vision. There was a library with a book lamp.
There was a candlelight feast, and some young men and women climbed up to admire the moon.
Chen Pingan rarely sees such a lazy Ning Yao.
I poured myself a cup of tea, secretly stretched my neck, and looked at Ning Yao's back. It seemed that compared to the time of the Sword Qi Great Wall, there were some subtle changes, and he was a little thinner.
Chen Ping'an actually knew a little bit about women's bun styles, eyebrow makeup, clothing and hairpins. He had memorized them all after reading a lot of miscellaneous books. However, the young mountain master learned eighteen martial arts, but it was useless.
There is a small regret in the land of martial arts. And Ning Yao really does not need these.
With his back to Chen Ping'an, Ning Yao kept lying on the table and asked: "How did you come up with that swordsmanship at Yixian Peak before?"
Chen Ping'an immediately looked away and replied with a smile: "Over there at the top of the city, I have nothing to do. I just think about it every day."
Before the birth porcelain was broken, Chen Ping'an had the qualifications of an earth immortal. It does not mean that he will definitely become a golden elixir guest, or a land immortal who gave birth to a Nascent Soul, just like a sword cultivator with the title of Sword Immortal Embryo. Of course, it does not necessarily mean that he will become a land immortal.
Sword Immortal. And there are countless people at the foot of the mountain who have the qualifications to practice but are unlucky. Compared to the grandeur of the practice on the mountain, their lives may be a little mediocre, but they are also stable.
To be continued...
