Chen Ping'an did not cross the threshold and entered the Jianchi Hall. After all, it was the ancestral hall of Ziyang Mansion. He turned around and said with a smile: "Let's go to the kitchen to learn more."
Among the portraits of the founder inside, the one in the middle is Wu Yi wearing a Taoist robe and walking on cloud shoes. In addition, the portraits of the previous palace masters are lined up on the left and right.
And tomorrow, on the other side of Xiandu Mountain, in the Patriarch Hall of the Qingping Sword Sect, a portrait of Chen Pingan will be hung in the center.
When Qing Tong moved, he turned his head and glanced at the plaque, "Sword Shout Hall?"
The generals or knights in the books often say "reach out and press the sword and scream".
It's just that a sect in Ziyang Mansion that doesn't even have sword cultivators has the nerve to use such a title? This is very unworthy of the position.
However, it can be seen that Wu Yi, whose Taoist name is Dongling, seems to have inherited part of the water transport left by the ten-thousand-year-old dragon. The rest, Cheng Shanchang of Dafu Academy, should have given it to the Hanshi River Water God.
The New Year's Eve dinner in Ziyang Mansion was held in Xuemang Hall, which was originally used to entertain distinguished guests.
After all, not many of the larger mansions on the mountain would actually have New Year's Eve dinner.
Genealogy monks either travel, practice in seclusion, or participate in various ceremonies and celebrations.
Near the Xuemang Hall, there is a long row of kitchens, divided into rooms for delicacies, wine, melons and fruits. The maids and maids of the house who serve as cooks come and go like fish.
A wealthy family with a profound cultural background always has to pay attention to the fine food and fine food. If you pay more attention to it, you should work hard on offering sacrifices in the mountains and fields.
Luo Po Mountain has Zhu Lian as its housekeeper, who is not afraid of trouble. Everything big and small is taken care of, so there really is no need for others to worry about it.
Every year, not just every month, Zhu Lian would receive his salary on time, which was worth a piece of snow, saying that he was trying to make up a piece of summer money.
Chen Ping'an stood outside a kitchen, glanced at several delicacies food boxes, and joked: "According to my old chef, some of the so-called time-honored restaurants only maintain their cooking skills at the level of newcomers."
Chen Ping'an had tasted bamboo branch crabs in Shujian Lake and Shuicheng. It was the first time in his life that he had hosted a serious banquet.
There are only a handful of such things. The most recent time was when Guan Yiran and Jing Kuan were invited to drink wine at the Changpu River in Dali Capital City. Of course, it was not flower wine. Now Jing Kuan has left the capital to take up the post of Baoxi in the new province.
County governor.
Qing Tong asked: "Old cook? Is this the noble son Zhu Lian who was born in the blessed land of Ouhua?"
Chen Pingan asked back: "Have you seen Zhu Lian's true appearance?"
Qing Tong nodded and said: "I am no stranger to the Lotus Root Flower Paradise. I often go there to relax. Of course I have met Zhu Lian."
And I didn’t dare to look more.
Because Zhenyao Tower and Guan Taoist Temple were neighbors, Qing Tong had met Zhu Lian twice before. He was really a... strange person. Of course, he was very good-looking.
One time was when Zhu Lian was young and he went on a spring outing to the outskirts of the capital. The other time was when Zhu Lian was a young man and walked around the world alone with a sword.
In the legends of ghosts and rivers and lakes, there are often vulgar plots about a woman falling in love with a strange man at first sight. Don’t believe it. Zhu Lian didn’t even need to speak when he was in the rivers and lakes. He only relied on his face to incur many love debts.
.
The romantic young man climbed up and looked far away, standing on the railing. He just twisted a strand of hair on his temples with his two fingers, as if he was about to break the hearts of the women who were watching.
It seems that as long as you are infatuated with one person, no matter whether you are married or not, you will be able to grow old together, and your love will never end until you die.
How many white-haired old women in the world still want to see Zhu Lang, but are ashamed to see him when this life comes.
Qing Tong joked: "When will you hold the Moon in the Mirror in Luo Po Mountain? If Zhu Lian is willing to restore his true appearance, I will definitely support him and guarantee that he will start with one Grain Rain coin each time."
The four picture scrolls and Wei Xian who were brought out of the Lotus Flower Blessed Land by Chen Ping'an did not show their true bodies to others. Only Zhu Lian changed his appearance and became an old man with a stooped figure and a mouthful of obscene words.
At that time, Chen Pingan was kept in the dark anyway, but Qing Tong found it very interesting.
Chen Ping'an laughed and said: "Seriously? I can discuss with Zhu Lian and open a copy of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon for fellow Taoist Qing Tong. As agreed, for just one Grain Rain coin, I guarantee that you can see Zhu Lian every day.
See it until you are full.”
Qing Tong stopped talking.
Qing Tong can be regarded as a well-informed and enlightened man, but it seems that he has never seen a handsome man like Zhu Lian. It is a woman who is praised as a beautiful and fragrant woman. I'm afraid.
We should all be ashamed of ourselves.
Beauty and beauty are not only exclusive to women.
The beauty of youth, the wind is clear and the moon is white, and the thoughts are innocent.
The young man is handsome and unique, and he is relegated to immortality.
But don't think that Zhu Lian is just an embroidered pillow with an empty skin. Later, Yu Zhenyi and others so-called climbed to the top and became the best in the world, just because the Ouhua Blessed Land is so big.
And Zhu Lian, who went from being a noble nobleman to being the mainstay of the country that turned the tide of collapse, and then becoming a martial arts madman who unified the world, became the undisputed number one in the world, just because the land of lotus root is so big.
It may seem like the results are the same, but in fact the two sides are in completely different situations.
Chen Ping'an suddenly asked in his heart: "Is the old temple master's method of combining the Tao similar to the Tao of 'when there is no trouble in the world and when the year is prosperous'?"
Qing Tong asked back: "Yin Guan said that there will be a good year in the world?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "It's just a random guess."
It was really just a random guess, because just now Qingtong talked about Xiaomo making wine in Luobaotan, and Xiaomo's identity was known as "a blessing from heaven" in later generations.
Coupled with the true identity of the old temple master, as well as some of the actions of this "smelly cow-nosed old man" in that war, his position seemed to be slightly erratic, but there was no obvious bias. Generally speaking, he still stood on the side of
On the side of Haoran Tianxia, ​​the old patron did not choose to prefer the wild world because of his great background. As for the matter of brewing wine in the world, it has always been a matter of peace and tranquility. Who has the leisure and energy to brew wine as someone who is free from chaos is not as good as a peace dog?
What's more, various dynasties and generations often have varying degrees of prohibition on alcohol. As for the so-called knights in the books and restaurants, who often ask for a few pounds of beef, it is actually unrealistic.
A series of clues that seemed to be far away, and they were put together intermittently, which made Chen Ping'an feel a little moved in his heart, and he quickly began to look through the books in the library in the lake of his heart, and finally found an ancient anonymous "old saying", which was connected with each other.
There is an underlying thread that is difficult to detect.
Chen Ping'an said slowly: "When the time is good and the year is good, there is a lot of millet and crops, and there are also high crops, trillions and grains of rice, which are used to make wine and sweet wine, to bring blessings to all the people, and to pay tribute to hundreds of rituals."
Qing Tong looked calm and didn't say a word. He probably felt that this move was inappropriate and seemed to have acquiesced. He immediately added, "Sir Yin Guan, what a wonderful idea."
Chen Ping'an glanced sideways. No matter what the final truth was, Qing Tong's general guess could not escape from this context.
Does this mean that in the peaceful and prosperous times, the old Taoist master of Donghai Temple will have very high combat power? But if it is in troubled times, his Taoism will decline and his offensive power will weaken accordingly?
Qingtong felt very annoyed.
In the old Donghaiguan Taoist Temple, the Taoist temple's inner corridors were filled with sunbathing grains, and the grain fields were bright and yellow. They were all done by the old temple owner himself. The little Taoist boy with eyes above the top and a big gourd on his back all the year round was not qualified to be involved.
And these, and the sword gourd that was one of the gourd vines planted by Taoist ancestors in the past is called "Dou Liang". When ordinary monks hear this name, they will immediately think of the saying "Sea water cannot be measured", but in fact there is no such thing.
So Xuanhu, to be precise, is Xuanzhixuanxuan, or is it a return to nature? It is really just a measure of things.
And the most necessary thing in the world is the rice that is planted and harvested every year, right?
Chen Ping'an walked towards Xue Mang Hall, ripples appeared, as if he had stepped out of the mirror, and his figure appeared. Then he said to Qing Tong: "Don't hide your figure anymore."
In the entire Ziyang Mansion, it happened that only Wu Yi, who was in the Nascent Soul Realm, could sense the energy. She left Huang Chu behind and rushed here with murderous intent, but was stunned on the spot.
I never expected that this person would take the initiative to visit me.
Wu Yi didn't have to think twice about Chen Ping'an's proposal and agreed on the spot without any hesitation.
Not to mention that he could earn that precious and unusual amount of merit in vain, even without this huge gift, Wu Yi would nod his head and help light a stick of water incense.
Because the path her father pointed out for her cannot circumvent Chen Pingan, who is closely related to Yu Lu, the subjugated prince of the Lu Dynasty. Yu Lu and Chen Pingan have been friends for many years, and they are still half classmates. As for
Wu Yi was not interested in why his father could be sure that Yu Lu, an "idle" remnant of the subjugated country, would settle down in Tongyezhou and restore the country to Zuo for the Lu family.
Wu Yi asked Chen Pingan to wait for a moment. She quickly went to the Jianchi Hall, opened a secret ban, and took out a mountain treasure from the secret room.
As for the female cultivator wearing a power fence, since Chen Pingan did not introduce her identity, Wu Yi did not ask any more questions.
Returning to the carved corridor, Wu Yi handed Chen Ping'an one small wooden box after another.
The wooden box is engraved with images of a priest, a dragon, a female fairy, a phoenix, and an ancient real person riding a turtle.
This thing is the treasure of the Ziyang Mansion, and no lord of the past dynasties would even think of seeing it.
Wu Yi originally planned to give it to a certain Sword Immortal embryo in the future, who would be accepted as his direct disciple, and then wait for the other person to form an elixir, and then use it as a belated apprenticeship gift and a congratulatory gift.
Chen Ping'an laughed dumbly, "I'm not here to beat the autumn wind, what are you doing?"
"Contained inside is an extremely rare ancient sword pill."
Wu Yi mistakenly thought that the other party did not like this meeting gift, so he had to suppress his temper and patiently explained: "It was a gift given to me by my father when I entered the cave realm."
Of course, the most important thing is that my father was full and in a good mood at that time, so he rewarded me with this valuable treasure.
Qing Tong just glanced at the wooden box casually and heard Wu Yi say the word "extremely rare."
However, when Wu Yi silently recited the Taoist formula and wiped away the layers of restrictions on the pocket sword box with two fingers, sword energy overflowed and purple energy rose.
To be continued...
