(20,000-word chapter, updated a bit late.)
Such an unexpected heavy snowfall is like an immortal crushing a white jade plate and scattering countless snow coins.
A thick layer of snow quickly accumulated on top of the city. Chen Pingan, who was squatting, deliberately gathered his fist and sword energy, letting the snowflakes fall on his head, shoulders and green shirt.
Those who practice Taoism are immune to cold and heat. The so-called cold and heat actually refer not only to the changes in the four seasons, but also to the joys and sorrows of human beings in this world.
Today, the ruins of the Jianqi Great Wall are like a deserted city outside the Great Wall with no one to guard the border. The lonely city outside the pass suddenly suddenly snows under the dense snow, and there are scattered flowers. The pieces are as big as copper coins. Thousands of mountains are cold and steep, birds are hard to find, and all traces of wild people are gone.
There is the sound of broken jade, and the sky and snow sing together.
Lu Chen had already stood up and put away the set of drinking utensils that he didn't know where he came from in the autumn wind. Originally, Lu Chen planned to leave and return to the Qingming world. There were many friends there and a lot of fun, and the master had previously visited Bai Yujing.
, he gave his proud disciple a kind and considerate edict. He no longer had to go to the outer world to do useless work. He returned to the Qingming world and had nothing to do. Even his senior brother, who was the most disciplined, couldn't say anything about him. But
It was really rare to visit the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Lu Chen couldn't bear to leave so soon. He worked hard to use the magic power of a saint to attract such a heavy snow. He shamelessly didn't move and started to reach out to catch the snow.
, and soon kneaded a snowball for him, and kept beating it, becoming more and more dense and heavy.
Lu Chen gently threw the snowball and rubbed his chin with one hand, "The moon in the sky seems to have gathered snow, and the snow in the world seems to have broken into pieces. The lonely light shines in the eyes, the moon and snow are both clear, and only people are superfluous."
Chen Ping'an chuckled, a superficial smile but not a smile at all. In fact, it would be better not to smile at all.
Lu Chen chuckled and threw the snowball out of the city, making an arc and falling.
As expected, we scholars are the most elegant. Pure sword cultivators like Miss Ning and Xingguan Hao Su are a little less interesting.
Chen Ping'an asked: "Master Lu, aren't you leaving yet?"
Lu Chen lamented: "Mountains can drive mountains away, but people can't drive people away."
In the early years when Chen Qingdu was still here, Lu Chen actually wanted to come here as a guest, but because of a senior fellow who wanted to save face, Lu Chen had to give up this plan. Otherwise, because of A Liang's temper, he would have gone to Tianwaitian back then.
And if you fall near Bai Yujing, you will definitely have to fight against the fire. Even if you Yu Dou is really invincible, you don’t dare to go to the Great Sword Qi Wall to fight the boss Sword Immortal, leaving it to Lu Chen.
Wouldn't it be outrageous if he, a junior fellow student, fell in love with the boss swordsman at first sight and called each other brothers and sisters? This is just like the family at the foot of the mountain. The brothers and sisters in the family have never married, so it is naturally difficult for the younger brother and younger sister to get married early.
In fact, Yu Dou even walked to the gate of the Great Wall of Sword Qi back then, but in the end he still did not have a sword fight with Chen Qingdu, leaving only a catch-and-release pavilion where tourists from later generations flocked. As for the upside-down mountain, Yu Dou
The largest mountain-shaped seal in the world created by his own hands actually has no far-reaching meaning. It is the Master Bai Yujing Er who is known as Zhen Invincible. He is thinking that one day in the future when he and Chen Qing will have a sword fight, there will be a ferry there.
There is no need to look at the face of the sage who is the gatekeeper of the Confucian Temple. After defeating Chen Qingdu, he will directly ascend from the wild world with a sword and return to Baiyujing.
Of course, until Chen Qingdu opened the way for Feisheng City with his sword, Dao Lao Er Yu Dou didn't take any action.
As long as there was an opportunity to praise Yu Dou, Lu Chen, the senior Taoist priest of the pair of senior brothers, would naturally not be stingy with his kind words. He soon preached some words that were fair and easy on people's hearts, saying that at the top of the sword mountain, each of them was invincible.
, the two peaks stand side by side, each has his own business, how can he not be truly invincible? Who dares to say otherwise? Come to Xuandu Temple and have a drink with Pindao. There will be a distinction between high and low at the wine table. How dare you talk nonsense? To our Qingming world
The person who takes the lead in a fight is gesticulating, but the poor guy will be the first to get angry and won't be able to kill you.
Chen Ping'an suddenly turned to Ning Yao and said, "Headmaster Lu will usually not lie to others as long as he speaks to others, but you can't believe them all."
It's the same reason as believing in all books is worse than having no books at all. Some people like to deliberately tell only part of the truth, which is not the truth, and may even make people stay away from the truth.
Chen Pingan's words were not expressed in his heart.
Ning Yao nodded and said: "In the small town, I have learned the lesson a long time ago."
Lu Chen patted the snow on his shoulder and said with a shy face: "Speaking to someone's face is like punching someone in the face, which is against the rules of the world. They say that noble people are slow to speak and speak little. You can't just talk about it. You should speak less and nod more.
.”
Chen Ping'an just looked at the vast expanse of snow, his thoughts were running around, and he was wandering thousands of miles away. He no longer deliberately restrained his complicated thoughts, and just let the horse rein, like a white horse passing through the gap, running around the small world.
The poet Haoran once said that snow is something with roots and buds, not a flower of wealth in the world.
Many local customs and old sayings passed down from generation to generation in small towns often have great origins and are indeed very different from ordinary towns and villages. And the rain, snow and dew that have not yet fallen between heaven and earth are commonly known as rootless water by the elders in the hometown.
Nowadays, the vast world's water transport is divided into two. Mrs. Dandan of Lushui Keng is in charge of land water transport, and the new four-sea water kings, including Zhigui, are in charge of all other water transport.
Aunt Feng is not the only wind god in ancient times, so she does not rank among the twelve high-ranking gods. Even the Chinese Confucian Temple, which has the richest collection of old lunar calendars, and the summer palace, which is the least taboo, still does not seem to have a complete catalog of the twelve high-ranking gods.
, as if both parties were abiding by an agreement and deliberately concealed it to prevent future generations from reading it.
If Jiashen Zhang Sword Cultivator Yusi is the reincarnation of the Rain Master, as the assistant officer of the Water God, one of the five supreme gods, but like Aunt Feng, he has never been among the twelve gods. This means that Yusi was born in the wilderness of Tianluo.
The reincarnation of the gods of the earth had been assigned part of the divine responsibilities in ancient times, and Yusi, the former rain master, was the assistant this time, and the gods of the water department were the main and respected ones.
Previously, Lu Chen mentioned the sissy from Longyao in his hometown. Chen Ping'an immediately began to be immersed in it. At the same time, he sacrificed a bird in a cage to protect his Taoist heart, so that Lu Chen, who was standing next to him, could not explore it casually.
Go to the library built by the Heart Lake to check the entries and search for any clues.
Seeing that Chen Pingan continued to be a dull gourd, Lu Chen smiled to himself and said: "Besides, I said this half-heartedly, but Chen Pingan, you are the same, deliberately not talking to me, choosing to continue to act stupid. But it doesn't matter, comparing your heart to your heart is a Buddha
It’s a family matter. I’m a Taoist, and you just believe in Buddhism, but you’re not really a monk. Neither of us has this kind of respect.”
Lu Chen then raised his hands, took a breath of mist, rubbed his hands continuously, and said with a playful smile: "I have no control over my heart, and I am half-way through the world. How can I not wear out one pair of straw sandals."
Chen Pingan just pretended not to hear Lu Chen's words and turned a deaf ear.
In fact, this hidden line that seems to be far away in the horizon, but is actually very close to you, once picked up, can help you see the complete ins and outs of a clue. Maybe it will help you to understand the tug-of-war between Chen Ping'an and Pure Ran Divinity.
It's just the location of a certain winning hand, it's too crucial.
Back then, Chen Ping'an left the Great Wall of Sword Qi with the ancient sword "Chang Qi" lent to him by the boss Sword Immortal on his back, and traveled through the Lotus Flower Blessed Land of the Old Guanzhu. After returning to Aquarius Continent from Tongye Continent, Old Dragon City
Above the sea of ​​clouds, under the protection of Fan Junmao, Chen Pingan once set out to refine the natal substance of the water of the Five Elements.
Fan Junmao, who later became the female tiger of Yizhou Nanyue, was also Fan Er's sister. Because she was the reincarnation of a god, she practiced one way and broke through the realm quickly. She was never narrow-minded and could be said to be overwhelming. When the two met for the first time, they happened to go in opposite directions.
, each on the two ferries that took the dragon road. Fan Junmao later directly pointed out that her trip to the north was to find Old Man Yang, which was equivalent to openly acknowledging her identity as the reincarnation of a god.
When Chen Pingan completed the refining of the water seal, I remember that after Fan Junmao saw the atmosphere of his water house, he was able to make the green-clothed little man with a pure background in the water law line willingly obey Chen Pingan's orders. She
He was quite surprised at that time. He stood up immediately, spoke hurriedly, and said something strange that Chen Pingan didn't think much about back then. Fan Junmao actually asked Chen Pingan directly if he was the reincarnation of the Rain Master.
Chen Ping'an was confused when he heard this, and even joked that Fan Junmao had made a fresh and refined flattery. In the end, Fan Junmao seemed to have denied that guess, and said something even more eloquent, in which he mentioned "
"Sissy", saying that Chen Ping'an is far from good.
What's more, even though Chen Ping'an was overly worried at that time, all his thoughts were focused on Lu Tai, whom he had traveled with before, and he really didn't think much about the man from Longyao in his hometown.
Chen Ping'an even speculated whether Lu Tai was the Rain Master. After all, the two parties took the Osmanthus Island ferry together and passed by the Yulong Sect with the statue of the Rain Master. Lu Tai did have a few robes and ribbons on his body.
They are very similar. Looking back now, it's just Zou Zi's deception? Did he deliberately let himself be in the dark and not think too much about his hometown?
Jia Shen Zhang, Tan's natal flying sword is "Jia Qi", and Jian Xiu Yusi, who has the natal flying sword "Waterfall", in the secret section of the summer palace, in fact, compared to the bamboo basket, Liu Bai and Tan are a few
There are more, both. These two sword cultivators followed Zhou Mi to heaven and occupied a divine position in the old heaven. Yu Si, especially, seemed to have inherited the divinity that was stripped away from Li Liu, making it possible in ancient times.
Yusi, who was not even among the twelve divine beings originally, was suddenly placed in a high position, which meant that he jumped several levels and directly became the water god, one of the five highest gods.
It's just that Chen Pingan still doesn't know anything. Assuming that the man who worked in the Long Kiln in his hometown was indeed a high-ranking rain god, then he was really dead. Old Man Yang used the magical power to cover the sky and the sun, so his divinity disappeared.
, returned to the world, and was taken into the hands of Old Man Yang, who was given to him in the end? When he was alive, he was still the same man who spent his whole life complaining about himself and being born in the wrong child. He has taken advantage of the opportunity to fill the gap and "walked into" Fengxue Temple, Zhenwu Mountain, etc.
The ancestral family of the military family has the same stable situation as Aunt Feng?
In fact, before meeting Lu Tai, Chen Pingan's memory of that sissy man had long been blurred. Apart from the guilt buried deep in his heart, Chen Pingan would not have thought much about it. If he had not met Lu Tai, Chen Pingan would not have thought about it too much.
Maybe he wouldn't even say a word, or even say anything to Ning Yao who had nothing to say in his whole life.
He is a grown man with a soft voice, rough fingers and calluses on his palms, but he likes to raise his orchid fingers when speaking.
However, this man was very good at needlework. The rough houses over at Long Kiln and the festive paper-cuts posted on the windows every year were all made by this man who stayed up late at night and cut them carefully with scissors. The craftsmanship of the women in his hometown could not compare with him.
Chen Ping'an's biggest impression is that of an old man who was a kiln worker. He was used to being bullied. He often helped people clean and mend clothes. He wore a brass thimble on his finger, bit off the thread under the lamp, and shook it off to mend it.
Good clothes, squinting and smiling.
It's not unfair to say that he looks like a girl.
Chen Pingan can only say that he doesn't like or dislike him. Annoyance will definitely annoy him, but Chen Pingan can tolerate it. After all, the only person this man could bully back then was the boy from Mud Bottle Alley who was even more pitiful than him. Yes.
The next time a man took the lead in making noises and said something too much. Liu Xianyang happened to be passing by and slapped the man so hard that he spun in circles. His face was swollen to the size of a steamed bun. Then he kicked him to the ground. If it hadn't been for Chen Ping'an,
When he was stopped, Liu Xianyang picked up a useless sagger on the roadside and was about to smash it on the man's head. After being stopped by Chen Pingan, Liu Xianyang threw the sagger and smashed it on the ground, threatening the man to be beaten.
The man who is still sitting on the ground holding his stomach and rubbing his cheeks with an apologetic smile on his face. You are a bad person who only dares to bully good people. If you are caught again in the future, I will take a knife and cut your face into pieces. I will help you die like a mother.
their hearts.
Later, men really didn't dare to trouble Chen Ping'an. At most, they would say some innocuous flirtations behind his back. Because everyone knew that Liu Xianyang was Old Man Yao's favorite apprentice. At that time, all the brothels
The workers all know very well that Liu Xianyang will most likely be the next kiln master of Long Kiln in the future. The key is that this guy is young, tall and has a bad temper.
He was very chatty and easy to deal with. Liu Xianyang was generous with his money on weekdays and never kept any money. He would give out the money at the beginning of the month but spend it all in the middle of the month. Therefore, most people would not want to mess with someone who was well-liked and had better porcelain-making qualifications.
Liu Xianyang.
In fact, Chen Ping'an is not the only person who comes from a miserable background in a small town. Who doesn't live a miserable life? Who has the right to say that he is impatient? Besides, if a person is worried about trivial things, how can he be more annoyed than having no money in his pocket?
No hope?
Anyway, on the first day of every month, all kiln workers and apprentices can receive more or less wages from Old Man Yao. At that time, no one will be bothered.
Thinking of Yu Si and others, it is inevitable that he will feel worried. Thinking of that sissy who was in a miserable situation, he feels a little sad. Just thinking of Liu Xianyang makes Chen Ping'an smile again.
Probably as Lu Chen said, Chen Ping'an is really good at tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, moving things, and changing places. Maybe he is afraid of poverty, not the kind of poverty that cannot lead a good life, but the kind of poverty that almost cannot survive.
To be continued...
