Zhengyang Mountain, Guoyunlou.
After the rain, the sky is clear and the weather is fresh.
At Bailudu outside the mountain, clumps of reeds have bloomed, and the rice on the other side of the terraces is golden.
The tops of Zhengyang Mountain further away seem to be busier, with civil construction and repair work.
There were no guests in the all-too-familiar Room A, so Chen Pingan went inside, moved a wicker chair to the viewing platform, and sat there, overlooking the nearest Qingwu Peak, and gently shook the sword in his hand.
gourd.
Once something starts, it's hard to stop, such as someone you like, or drinking.
At the wine table, Chen Pingan has seen a lot of human relationships. Drinking can make a taciturn person talkative, make a person who usually likes to talk loudly whisper, make people smile but have tears in their eyes without realizing it, and make people laugh without knowing it.
An old man becomes a child.
I don’t know what the situation will be like when Chief Zhou of my family arrives in the wild world, and how much noise he will make.
A willow leaf kills the immortal.
As for the magical power of Jiang Shangzhen's flying sword, Chen Pingan never asked.
Cui Dongshan mentioned it casually, saying that Chief Zhou's flying sword was of a very high rank and was so sharp that it could be rated as first-class even in the summer palace.
.
What was more surprising was that Ni Yuerong, who was supposed to go to the territory of Dali Zhongyue, was actually in the inn at the moment, seeming to be checking the accounts.
Ni Yuerong noticed the abnormal energy here, immediately put down the account book which became more and more sad as she looked at it, and rushed over to check the truth. Before she left, she silently prayed in her heart, don't be that person, never be that person.
…
Probably because she didn't go to the temple to burn incense enough on weekdays, and she was afraid of what would happen. Ni Yuerong turned slightly sideways and said a blessing to the uninvited guest. She hesitated, thought about it carefully, and deliberately used a more informal title.
"I've met Master Cao."
Chen Pingan turned his head, raised the sword gourd in his hand, and said: "First of all, I have to congratulate Master Ni Xian for being the God of Wealth of the Zhengyang Mountain Sect."
Ni Yuerong hurriedly gathered her clothes and blessed her again.
If you really want to think about it, she can be promoted to the third in command of the next sect in the future, thanks to this Luo Shan Sword Immortal who made such a big fuss.
Otherwise, it would be her turn to be a carrot and a fool, and she, who is not a swordsman in the Qingwu Peak Longmen realm, would occupy an important position in the lower sect? It would be a beautiful thing that she could not even dream of.
She, the former shopkeeper of Guoyun Tower, is not a sword cultivator like her senior brother Wei Yueshan. The two senior brothers and sisters who used to be very close to each other are now too close to each other. After sharing weal and woe that almost destroyed the sect, the two senior brothers and sisters really became friends.
Before Ni Yuerong left the sect, the two sides had an unprecedented candid conversation in private. They made up their minds to get along and support each other in the future. Wei Yueshan is in charge of Qingwu Peak. She is now in charge of the money of the lower sect.
I will take care of my peak as much as possible in the future.
Ni Yuerong said cautiously: "The matter of the next sect has not yet been decided."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You guys in Zhengyang Mountain are famous for having good friends all over the world. This little thing doesn't matter."
Ni Yuerong didn't appear to be embarrassed at all. Year after year, she had treated people and treated her well, and her face had long been as thick as overlapping account books.
Chen Ping'an asked in confusion: "Why is Master Ni still here at Guoyun Tower?"
It stands to reason that there are so many things involved in preparing for the establishment of the next sect. As the person who settles accounts and manages money, Ni Yuerong is a new official and should be the most involved.
Ni Yuerong looked a little dazed, a little unreal, as if she was politely chatting with others, but she was here before, when Chen Ping'an met with the sect master Zhuhuang, she didn't dare to breathe. At that time, the two of them were sitting opposite each other.
Sect Master, she doesn't dare to look at anyone else anyway.
When Ni Yuerong heard the question, she immediately calmed down and carefully weighed her words and replied: "Replying to Master Cao Xian, Yuerong has something to do temporarily this time and needs to go to the Shangzong Ancestral Hall. Regarding the Yunxiaxiang trade, I hope that Master Zhu can
Make an idea, because the price offered by Yunxia Mountain..."
"Don't say anything specific. I'm an outsider, so don't break the rules."
Chen Pingan waved his hand, stopped Ni Yuerong from talking, and said casually: "It seems that the business of the inn has become quieter."
Ni Yuerong just said softly and did not dare to curse.
Why is business sluggish and there are so few customers? Who is to blame? Of course it is her shopkeeper who doesn’t know how to make money.
Otherwise, it would be the fault of the polite and considerate Master Chen. It is so unreasonable.
The first sect leader of the future sect of Zhengyang Mountain is Yuan Bai, the swordsman of the old Zhu Ying Dynasty. Because he once had a sword fight with Fengleiyuan Huanghe, Yuan Bai hurt the foundation of the avenue. Not surprisingly, the old Zhu Ying Dynasty
A genius swordsman who is one of Ying's two swords, his swordsmanship will stop at the Nascent Soul realm in this life.
The Bamboo Emperor is indeed a tolerant person. On the way to watch the ceremony, Yuan Bai publicly announced that he was quitting Zhengyang Mountain in front of everyone, and made it clear that he would not be removed from the genealogy of your Xianfeng Patriarch Hall, so Yuan Bai took it as his own initiative to cancel it.
Of course, it is still just a so-called next sect. As Ni Yuerong said, it is not a sure thing yet. After such a storm at the ceremony, there are more surprises.
During the previous discussions at the Chinese Confucian Temple, Song Changjing asked for at least three additional sect quotas from the Confucian Temple. Among the sect candidates in Aquarius Continent, in addition to Zhengyang Mountain, there is only one Yunxia who lacks a monk in the fifth realm.
Mountain, an ancient Buddhist temple located near Xiaolongqiu in Yandang Mountain, the Taoist temple in the mountain where Lu Chen's direct disciple Cao Rong used to live, and Shen Gaozong's wish to have an additional lower sect, plus the Changchun Palace, the local immortal palace of Da Li, in short, various
The forces on all sides are now competing for these three places.
Originally, Zhengyang Mountain had the best hope of adding a Zongxian Mansion with the title of Zong. Although Song Mu, the king of the Great Li vassal, deliberately hindered the matter and blocked the matter, he also showed a non-negotiable attitude. In fact, it was
Singing a double act with His Majesty the Emperor Da Li, one with a red face and one with a white face, so that the Zhengyang Mountain monks will not be too arrogant, lest the tail will be too big to be restrained in the future, and it will also allow Zhengyang Mountain to spit out more genuine sect details, and at the same time
It can dispel the resentment of some of the immortals on the mountain, especially the old sects, towards the Song family of Dali for their efforts to build Zhengyang Mountain.
In addition to achieving three goals with one stroke, the Dali court also had a back-up plan.
It's not that the Dali imperial court favors Zhengyang Mountain, but that the Song clan of Dali and Aquarius Continent need to gather more of their swordsmanship luck that was originally scattered across the mountains and rivers of the continent.
Therefore, there is actually not much suspense about the establishment of the next sect in Zhengyang Mountain.
In Chen Ping'an's view, Yunxia Mountain, which has always had the best reputation and the highest voice, is the least likely to officially join the ranks of sects. It is not only the lack of a Yupu Realm sitting on the top of the mountain, but also the fact that Dali has a deeper
's plan.
Shanya Academy and Linlu Academy have both been ranked among the seventy-two academies of the Confucian Temple. If one temple and one temple are included in the sect, then the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have truly taken root in Aquarius Continent.
, you can gradually stabilize and get on the right track.
The most important thing is that the founders of the Three Religions dispersed their teachings, so that Aquarius Continent can obtain greater gifts of luck. I believe that these have long been part of senior brother Cui Chan's established plan.
Chen Pingan considers himself to be like a chess player who just memorizes some so-called master moves and formulas and pieces them together on the chessboard. He is good at dismantling and cutting, but bad at sewing and gluing.
This is also the reason why Chen Ping'an must be careful and deliberate before making any moves during a ceremony at Zhengyang Mountain, because he must take advantage of the initiative and be the first to place a piece on the chessboard.
So compared to senior brothers Cui Chan, Zheng Juzhong, and Wu Shuangjiang, they are far behind.
You have practiced your kindness so well that you don't even notice it, and you have sophistication that your calculations don't show any trace.
Song Jixin of Mubo Alley is actually growing.
It is said that there are several landscape newspapers in Zhongtu Shenzhou now, and all of them have begun to study the young people in Lizhu Cave Heaven.
Bamboo shoots spring up after the rain, grow vigorously, and cultivate bamboo into a forest.
Just now, Ni Yuerong mistakenly thought that Chen Ping'an was making a mockery of Zhengyang Mountain and adding salt to the wound by saying that founding the next sect was a trivial matter.
In fact, it is really a small matter. Of course, the premise is that Zhengyang Mountain will stop being a monster, bow his head and beg for help, provide money and people, and the sword cultivator will obediently join the army, serve as an accompanying monk, and follow the Great Li cavalry.
If Barbarian joins the war, then the next sect will naturally fall into place.
It's not that Ni Yuerong is not smart enough, but it's because Guoyun Tower and Qingwu Peak are not high enough. Even if a monk stands on the top of the mountain, he can't see far.
The real surprise was that Chen Ping'an was determined to let Zhengyang Mountain die out within hundreds of years. For example, the site of the Luopo Mountain Sect was placed on the boundary of Zhongyue on Aoping Continent instead of Tongye Continent.
If Yangshan is tit for tat, then the latter will soon become a sourceless water, sitting on nothing.
Chen Pingan cannot compete with the smartest people in the world for the time being, but he is more than enough to deal with old swordsmen like the Bamboo Emperor and Yan Chu who like to sit in a well and watch the sky.
Ni Yuerong asked: "Master Cao, would you like me to prepare some wine, water, melons and fruits?"
Not long ago, she received a square-inch object from the Patriarch Hall, called "Shu Feng Qing", which contained the scroll with a white jade head. She actually had one at Qingwu Peak, but her senior brother was the master of the peak.
, it’s not her turn.
According to the ancestral rules of Xianxian Peak, all the mountain gate treasures recorded in the book are only used by direct descendants and still belong to the ancestral hall.
Just like the previous fairy Su Jia, whose sword heart was broken by the Yellow River in Fengleiyuan, she had to return the priceless sword gourd before she went down the mountain sadly.
Chen Pingan declined politely: "There's no need to be so polite. I'm not here in the autumn wind. I'm just passing by."
In the field of vision, the peaks of Zhengyang Mountain after the rain have different scenery. Between Shuilong Peak and Yujiao Peak, which have relatively strong water transport, there is even a rainbow hanging, which is like an ethereal picture.
Line of Peaks, Big and Small Solitary Mountains, Immortal Back Sword Peak, Full Moon Peak, Qiuling Mountain, Shuilong Peak, Poyun Peak, Pianying Peak, Qiongzhi Peak, Yujiao Peak, Dogwood Peak, Qingwu Peak...
