Chen Ping'an just took out the sword-raising gourd, and Lu Yan also took off the gourd and gourd from his waist, and smiled at each other. This is probably what Bai Ye's poem said in Bai Ye's poem, drinking in the mountains with a secluded person, drinking in the blooming of mountain flowers.
Lu Yan raised his head and took a sip of homemade water, "Do you know the origin of the mountains and peaks in Lizhu Cave?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "Cui Dongshan once told some insider information. There are a total of sixty-two hills in the mountains to the west. Most of them were moved from the peaks of the ancient Shu territory and were pieced together. There are more than forty well-documented ones. , I guess it is the work of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou. I will see if I have the opportunity to ask in person in the future. But things like the Luolu Mountain at our feet, the Piyun Mountain on the Weibo side, and the mountain with the Dragon-Zhanping Platform are all relatively small. Weird, there is no written record. The latter was recorded as Jialiu Mountain in the secret archives of the Dalihu Department. It was banned during the Chunhui period. According to the local dialect here, it is commonly known as Longji Mountain. There is a large piece of Longzhanya Stone halfway up the mountain. Its origin It’s mysterious, and the only one who might know the true root is Grandpa Yang who used to be in the backyard of the drug store.”
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Grandpa Yang? Are you talking about the Qingtong Tianjun?"
Qingtong Tianjun, one of the twelve high-ranking gods, was the ancestor of the earthly immortals who controlled an ascension platform in the past, but he became a god in the human race.
Just like a lonely person who lights up a lamp and keeps watch on the New Year's Eve in this world for ten thousand years.
Chen Pingan nodded lightly.
If it weren't for Grandpa Yang, he wouldn't be alive today. There are some things that you can endure when you grow up, but you can't survive when you grow up.
In fact, Chen Ping'an had a lot to say and wanted to have a good chat with this old man. It had nothing to do with his life experience or world affairs, it was just commonplace talk.
On the road of life, teenagers and young people are always moving forward, but it seems that the old people have stopped. When the former look back, they are just memories.
Chen Ping'an still clearly remembers the first time he met Grandpa Yang when he was young. He squatted outside the threshold of the drug store. After waiting for a moment, he didn't wait for the broom to hit his head. He raised his head and saw the serious old man.
"It is natural for businessmen to make money by giving money when buying things... I will give you credit first, but you will have to pay back the money later. You are not allowed to owe the shop a penny."
Finally, the old man asked the child if he understood. The child stood up, confused, and just handed over the money bag that was always tightly clutched in his left hand.
Lu Yan raised his eyes and looked into the distance. His sight stretched all the way, as far away as the mountains. No matter how things changed and people changed, the scenery of mountains and rivers did not change much. He said with emotion: "In the past, I often traveled in the ancient Shu territory, and I only remember the night in Shu." When it rains, dragons are born, and the sword light rises and falls with the wind and rain, making it a spectacular sight."
"Let's just talk about the Dragon's Back Mountain. If I remember correctly, it was first located on the border of ancient Shu. There was once a cave called Kuocang Cave. It was close to the mountain and the sea. It had a knotted knot cut like an inscription, and there was an upside-down immortal on it. It was suspected to be the emperor's cave. Relegated, happy and powerful winds come from the sea. This mountain has many ancient names, including Zhenyin, Tianbi, Windmill, Liao Deng, etc."
"It's a pity that it was later destroyed by the sword fairy and the dragon. The earliest mountain range stretches all the way into the sea, which can be connected with a certain underwater dragon palace. There is a Chongdan River over there in Hongzhu Town. The water is extremely strong, strong and turbid. I am now here The gourd wine is brewed from the water in the middle of the river there. In ancient times, there were often thunders during the day, which echoes today's Yuzhou. Therefore, the current saying in the local county chronicle that "this water leads to the sea air" is not an outspoken statement. That Li Jin, the water god of the Chongdan River who runs a bookstore in a small town, is actually one of the ancient dragon species. However, maybe Li Jin does not know his origin and has always mistakenly thought that it was the dragon energy from the Lizhu Cave that overflowed and dispersed into Chongdan. Jiang, he was able to refining his body, or he was taken away from the Lizhu Cave by the ancient immortals using the Dragon King Basket, but that was not the case. As for the Dragon Slaying Platform, which was used by sword cultivators in later generations to sharpen their swords and regarded as a treasure, it actually means literally, ancient times. The Dragon Slaying Platform, one of the two execution platforms in the heaven, was chopped into pieces by the sword cultivator during the battle to the sky. It fell to the human world and was scattered among the heaven and the earth. The stone cliff at Longji Mountain was the largest one. As a result, dragons multiplied in the ancient Shu territory, and the sword cultivator also Duo. There is also a piece on the other side of the Great Sword Qi Wall. If I remember correctly, it belongs to your fellow Taoist?"
"Chen Qingliu, the man who killed the dragon, practiced swordsmanship in Kuocang Cave for many years. It can be regarded as the place where he attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Later, the so-called Cicada Cave was actually just a part of Kuocang Cave, which is equivalent to your Luolu Mountain.
Jise Peak. In the Cicada Cave, he killed fourteen sword cultivators in one breath who had made a life-and-death plan. Eight of them were in the fifth realm, including two in the Immortal realm. The remaining six Nascent Souls, although their realms were not the same.
High, but every sword cultivator’s magical power of flying sword is very suitable for encirclement and killing. How is the killing power of Yuanying realm sword cultivator? With the magical power of flying sword, what is the effect of encirclement and killing? You are from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, you should
It is most obvious that the result was that Chen Qingliu counterattacked and killed them all. After this battle, more than ten sword vein traditions were cut off in Aoping Continent. Since Chen Qingliu was from another continent, the luck of swordsmanship in Aoping Continent was not the same.
I started to lose my strength.”
This Chunyang Taoist, who has been seen and dispersed in the two worlds, has extensive knowledge of the past and the present, and has many allusions and stories that are clear and gentle.
On the road of life, we seem to be reading books to read others. We don’t know when we will become books that others read carefully and repeatedly.
I remember Zheng Dafeng once said a truth: when a person reaches middle age, he will not be confused at forty. If a person reaches forty and still does not believe in fate, he either really has a good destiny, or he is not enlightened.
Brother Dafeng, who doesn't speak dirty words, is a bit uglier and has less money in his pocket, but he is still quite unique.
Chen Pingan said sincerely: "As the old saying goes, an elder in the family is like a treasure. In the future, when Senior Lu successfully comes out of seclusion, I wonder if I can ask Senior to help the Taoist cultivators in the continent to preach at the Dharma Altar? As for the location, whether it is Luolu Mountain
, Piyun Mountain, Shen Gaozong of Nanjian Kingdom, Lou Mountain of Huangliang Sect, or any place in Aquarius Continent, it doesn’t matter.”
After all, this Chunyang Master is, strictly speaking, his own family member in Aquarius Continent.
Lu Yan did not comment on this, and just asked with a smile: "My family does not speak the same language. First there was the battle of cicadas sloughing off the cave, and then there was the battle of slaying the dragon. Since Pindao is a local monk in Aquarius Continent, he has a lot of connections with many dragon palaces.
, why didn’t you take action twice, isn’t Shanzhu Chen curious?”
Chen Ping'an raised the sword-raising gourd in the shape of a vermilion wine pot and gently knocked it against Lu Yan's purple gourd gourd, as if touching a wine glass. He just gave a vague statement, "Experienced in the world of mortals, I have proved myself in cultivation."
Pure yang, no ignorance of cause and effect."
They drank each other, Chen Pingan wiped the corner of his mouth, and Lu Yan smiled knowingly, "Speaking the truth means knowing it. Silently speaking the word means knowing it."
Chen Ping'an suddenly laughed and said: "When I visited Yidai Peak earlier, I heard an old man talk about spiritual practice, but he just kept his mind to himself. Everyone is fine."
Lu Yan nodded and said: "Cultivation is a family matter, what if you take heaven and earth as your home?"
Chen Pingan was silent for a moment and asked, "Where will Senior Lu travel next?"
Lu Yan said: "I plan to visit Luzhou in Beiju. Pindao once visited the Green City of Baiyujing with Master Bai Gu. Besides, he is in a different situation. He owes Master Lu a favor."
"He Xiaoliang of the Qingliang Sect, as the new disciple of Master Lu, she became the head of a sect and climbed all the way to the level of the current Immortal. Because she has deep blessings and good cultivation aptitude, it was easy for her this time.
The sword fairy Bai Shang used seclusion as a bait. He Xiaoliang's personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. If he is not careful, he will bite the hook. He must have no worries about life and death. However, with Bai Shang's behavior, this kind of fish that bites the hook on its own will be caught again.
When he threw it into the water, the fish would definitely suffer a lot, but due to the face of Headmaster Lu and Tianjun Xie Shi, they would spare He Xiaoliang's life, but it would definitely hurt her fundamentals.
There is no way to escape after falling to Yupu, and if He Xiaoliang misses this upcoming opportunity, it will not be easy for He Xiaoliang to step up to the Ascending Realm in the future."
"He Xiaoliangguang has a senior brother, Cao Rong, and at most Gu Qingsong. Even if the three of them join forces, they are still very reluctant to face an Ascension Realm sword cultivator who can come out of seclusion. To act in such a dangerous way is too trustworthy. It’s too big. So Pindao plans to go to the north and have a look after leaving Luopo Mountain.”
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "He Xiaoliang will definitely go to find trouble for Bai Chang."
Lu Yan smiled and joked: "Master Chen, you can have so many causal entanglements with Master Lu. Looking at history, there are only a handful of them. Just saying this is enough to be proud of yourself."
Chen Ping'an nodded and said in a deep voice: "In the past few years, I have read some Buddhist classics. Apart from the Sutras and Legal Studies, the other koan commentaries, chants, and odes to ancient times were eloquent, no less than eight thousand. Then I discovered one thing. The eminent monks of the past dynasties quoted Lu Chen There are even more allusions in the works than the quotations from all Confucian sages put together.”
"So no matter who you underestimate, you can't underestimate this Headmaster Lu."
Lu Yan nodded and said: "No matter how high we outsiders think of Lu Chen, it may not be Lu Chen's true height."
Lu Yan suddenly asked: "If you don't ask why you mentioned the origin of the mountains to the west, is it possible that Pindao is just showing off his knowledge to Master Chen?"
Chen Pingan thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Are you reminding the younger generation that this is also a kind of...'Taoism' in a broad sense?"
Lu Yan nodded and said: "This may be one of the fundamental differences between Taoism and Buddhism."
Chen Ping'an frowned slightly, and then he suddenly felt enlightened, but he had doubts again. After all, Mahayana Buddhism also has the saying "no sentient beings can achieve Buddhahood." Just as he was about to say something, Lu Yan smiled and said: "This is just the harmonious method of the Zen masters of later generations." First, it has little to do with the earlier Tathagata Zen."
Senior Cui once gave a saying that a pure martial artist will die in his hometown in the seven and eight realms, die in his own country on the top of the mountain in the ninth realm, and die in his own continent at the end of the ten realms.
As for Lu Zu, whose Taoist name was Chunyang, he had already stepped into the threshold of the Fourteenth Realm with one foot but then backed out of the door. It is easy to explain why he chose to travel to the Qingming world in the first place.
Just reverse the previous theorem.
A certain girl in a mink hat who has been eavesdropping on the conversation on the top of the mountain is confused. What on earth are you talking about?
Chen Ping'an took a deep breath, put away the sword gourd, turned sideways, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said with a solemn expression: "I have a big question, I dare to ask my senior for advice."
Lu Yan smiled and waved his hand, indicating to Chen Ping'an that the Fa should not be passed on to Liu Er.
Chen Ping'an was horrified, and he didn't realize that Xie Gou was eavesdropping at all, because a restriction similar to a pocket sword formation had just been set up on the top of the mountain.
Lu Yan put his fingers together and gave a gentle push seemingly casually.
There was a pure sword intention without sword energy, which merged with the heaven and earth. It had been waiting here for a long time, but was pushed back to the mountain climbing road by the Taoist.
But at the same time, there was also a hidden sword energy on the other side of the mountain road, and Xie Gou pushed it back to the top of the mountain.
Lu Yan teased: "Can you two consider it as courtesy?"
Chen Ping'an looked slightly embarrassed.
Lu Yan said sternly: "Have you tried twice to reach the Jade Pu Realm over there in Tongyezhou, but failed?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "The inner demon was unexpected. I never expected that it would appear in this way. The first time I was caught off guard, and the second time I thought I could rely on the six solutions including praying for rain. It still didn’t work out.”
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Xiuhu has indeed given you a big problem."
Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said: "In the vast world, if the Great Wall of Sword Qi is mentioned because of my return to my hometown, it will require a last-generation hidden official who has reached the fifth realm."
So when he woke up in the Creation Cave, Chen Ping'an, who was still in the Yuanying realm on the other side of the Sword Qi Great Wall, inexplicably became the Jade Pu realm.
This is actually Cui Zhang giving Chen Pingan a Yupu realm that is somewhere between authenticity and fiction. To be honest, Chen Pingan is indeed a Yupu who broke through the bottleneck and rose to the top by himself, but Chen Pingan himself has forgotten the specific process. , To be honest, it is Chen Ping'an's mentality. Because his memory was erased by Cui Chan, there was a gap. In the long run, it is a huge legacy. However, Cui Chan's solution couldn't be simpler. Waiting for the future junior brother himself. If you fall down, just return to Yupu.
As for whether Chen Ping'an's state has fallen and returned again, and whether there will be complications during the period, causing the moral to be higher than the devil to be higher, Cui Chang probably doesn't care at all.
Probably in Xiuhu's view, if such trivial matters can't be handled well, there's no need to go to Qingming World to humiliate yourself.
Lu Yan did not ask the reason for his inner demon in detail. He just reminded Chen Ping'an to be more cautious and not to rush to restore the Jade Pu Realm. Then he quickly changed the subject, "After all, people's words are terrible, and everyone's words are worth their weight in gold. Mr. Cui's actions are understandable. , the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall, is a watershed as to whether he is a sword cultivator in the Yupu realm. Yes, when it comes to Chen Ping'an, most of them are praiseworthy words. At worst, they can only make a few jokes, pinching their noses and saying that you are young and talented. Because the boss Sword Immortal dares to employ people, but if you are just Nascent Soul, the world's perception of you personally, and even the entire Sword Qi Great Wall, will change."
There are many things in the world and life is not easy. Most of us just watch one excitement and wait for the next one. How can we find the time to find out the truth? People's hearts are not ancient. The heart of the ancients is that learning is not easy. Once you have learned one or two truths, you are willing to dig out it. Very profound. Of course, modern people also have the advantages and strengths of modern people. These are two roads. The ancients went from one to ten thousand, which proves one of them. Just like the so-called Taoism, the law of man is the law of earth, the law of heaven, and the law of nature. Today's people are from ten thousand to ten thousand. First, as the Buddhists say, if you are willing to learn the infinite Dharma, you will eventually be able to see the only Dharma. For example, when my husband was at Renyun Yiyun Tower in the capital, he could not help but lament that the principles and knowledge in the book only talked about the breadth and not the depth. , how can it be compared to the previous sages? So, if you just pick up a scholar from the academy now, and throw it away ten thousand years ago, it is estimated that the original group of "scholars" will come to you one by one to humbly ask for advice?
Chen Pingan nodded, of course he could understand the difference, but he knew the hardships involved.
So much so that Chen Ping'an even speculated that the "inner demon" he encountered while trying to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Realm was most likely something that he would have encountered only after trying to reach the Fourteenth Realm after Ascension Realm. Heart care.
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Master Chen has a good senior brother."
Chen Pingan was speechless.
Lu Yan fastened the gourd and ladle again, turned to glance at the north, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "It's a blessing in disguise. Bai Shang and Na Tian Wan secretly colluded to try to control the flow of swordsmanship in a continent, that is, both sides In the end, he failed to succeed. Otherwise, if Pindao returns to Aquarius Continent now, he would not mind the sword cultivator in the Ascension Realm or the identity of Junior Sister Zou Zi."
Pindao is not a vegetarian.
Including Xie Gou, the group of people who had tea at the same table with Chunyang Zhenren before. In fact, after Chen Ping'an and the others took the lead in climbing the mountain, they felt that they were full after drinking tea, so they began to climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery. Among them, only Cen Yuanji continued When practicing boxing and walking, he is actually faster than Xianwei and Zhou Mili.
To be continued...
