Chapter 104: Sitting on the ground to share the spoils
The Lingwu Mountain Turtle, who was born and raised in Qidun Mountain, is naturally familiar with the shortcut mountain trails. In addition, the foot power of climbing over mountains and ridges is far better than that of donkeys and mules. Carrying a group of people, they soon arrived at the border area of Qidun Mountain, and then walked south for two seconds.
The post road that goes down the mountain for ten miles can lead to Hongzhu Town. Although the post road going north is now blocked due to the sudden fall of Lizhu Cave Sky, Chen Ping'an and his group still choose to be cautious and do not want the three of them to do so.
A huge mountain turtle disturbed woodcutter hunters or traveling merchants.
Chen Ping'an and the others sat and rested on the top of the hill. Li Huai was looking forward to it. He hated the young land extremely, but A Liang said that there was a treasure hidden in the Hengbao Pavilion, and everyone had a share. Li Huai was looking forward to it.
I thought that when I see my sister Li Liu in the future, I will be so jealous of her.
The landowner of Qidun Mountain arrived soon as promised. This time, he did not use the magical power of shrinking into an inch. He strode up the mountain, his white clothes swaying, and his big sleeves floating up like two white clouds. It was the maid Zhu Lu who saw this scene.
, and have to admit that if we only look at the skin, Young Land deserves to be described in books as "rich and handsome".
Behind the handsome man were A Liang's white donkey and the Li family's horses. I don't know what kind of magic the land lord used. Not only did he keep up with the large team, but the donkeys and horses didn't even look tired at all.
Wei Bo, who had lived for who knows how many hundred years, held a long wooden box across his arms and bowed to the man in the bamboo hat first, and the latter nodded in return.
The deep-seated gods in the city and the cynical and strange swordsman all gave people the same feeling at this moment.
Walking together on the road.
Wei Bo handed the bright red wooden box of unknown material to A Liang. Li Huai hurried over and touched it. His palms were full of warmth. To the touch, it felt like the fine silk and satin from a cloth shop in Qilong Lane, which was the treasure of the shop.
Last year at the end of the year, he went with his mother and sister to buy fabrics and cut new clothes. He just sneaked a look at the beautiful brocade embroidered with flowers and birds, and was kicked out by the angry shopkeeper.
Li Huai raised his head and asked: "A-Liang, let me discuss something with you. After we share the treasures in the box, can you give this box to me in the end?"
A Liang asked back: "Who are you?"
Li Huai said seriously: "You married my sister, and I am your brother-in-law."
A Liang slapped him and said, "That's my brother-in-law!"
The child suddenly said: "I don't want to be a brother-in-law. I like to be a brother-in-law. The worst person in the world is a brother-in-law."
A Liang looked at Wei Bo and asked, "Is the box valuable?"
Wei Bo smiled and said: "Fortunately, it is an object made of delicate yellow and dark wood. It has been buried in the soil for some years. It has not rotted but is fragrant. The color has also changed from yellow to red. It is not valuable, but it is not common."
A Liang looked down at the child with a hopeful look on his face, "Since the thing is not valuable, I will give it to you."
Li Huai was about to take away the wooden box, but he was slapped by A Liang and was stunned, "Want to take it all for yourself?"
A Liang looked around, stretched out his hand to beckon, then squatted on the ground, opened the long wooden box named "Jiao Huang", and shouted loudly: "Chen Pingan, Xiaobaoping, Lin Shouyi, Zhu He, Zhu Lu
Come here, come here, come here, sit on the ground and divide the spoils, sit on the ground and divide the spoils! First come, first served, no waiting after time, no other rules, just one, each person can only take one piece from Baibao Pavilion, whichever one you get, no one is allowed
Regret."
Chen Ping'an looked at Young Tutu. The latter noticed the young man's gaze and was a little confused. He asked warmly: "Aren't you going to fight for the opportunity?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Just let them take it first."
Chen Ping'an happened to have something to discuss with Young Land, regarding the settlement of Black Snake in Luopo Mountain and Wei Bo's departure from the territory here to the jurisdiction of Longquan County. On the way back, A Liang roughly said something about Shanshui Zhengshen.
It is important not to leave the territory that the court has decreed on the mountain and river genealogies easily. This is somewhat similar to the "no meeting between vassals" established by many dynasties. Once someone violates the taboo, those gods will be ordered by the court to reduce the number of incense offerings.
, or more seriously, he was demoted to a lower status, and the folk incense was completely cut off for many years. In history, there were many landscape gods who violated the rules, and their fate was even more miserable. The golden statues were pulled out of the shrines and off the altars by the court, and the government officials used them with powerful sticks.
Beating was used to set an example, or local officials whipped them personally, or even directly sent civilians to beat them to death. This has happened in the history of various countries.
So Wei Bo said that he would personally take the black snake to Luo Po Mountain and build a bamboo house on the mountain with those brave bamboos. Of course Chen Pingan would not refuse the kindness, but he also did not want Wei Bo to be severely punished for this.
In fact, the young man had never been able to deeply understand the incense of Shinto, the feng shui of mountains and rivers, and the luck of a dynasty before. This was also related to the fact that A Liang had never read a book. This guy stepped on the watermelon rind and talked about where it was, and his words were very confusing.
, some people like to show off deliberately for the sake of showing off. Simple things that are not weird or mysterious can be made mysterious and mysterious by him.
Later, Li Baoping gave an example, and Chen Pingan's idea suddenly became clear. The little girl said that those incense and other things were like the Longxuxi River outside the town. There was only one water source. The people wanted to harvest their own crops.
They fight for water, and large-scale fights occur almost every year.
Li Baoping ran to Chen Pingan and said anxiously: "Uncle Master, why don't you go get the treasure? You see, even people with Lin Shouyi's temperament can run very fast, and Li Huai even wants to stuff his head into a hundred
Went to the treasure pavilion."
Chen Pingan said casually: "It's okay, I chose the last one."
Li Baoping turned around and ran away, "It doesn't matter, I will help you choose one, little uncle."
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to speak, the little girl in the red cotton jacket had already rushed to A Liang's side. She held down Li Huai's head with one hand and pushed it outward, and pushed Lin Shou's shoulder away with the other hand.
Li Huai said aggrievedly: "Li Baoping, you are bullying me!"
Li Baoping turned around and said confidently: "I'll pick something for my junior uncle!"
Li Huai thought about the small bamboo box that he had not yet received, and sighed: "Then you choose."
Lin Shou was not annoyed when he was pushed away. He pointed at a rolled-up yellowed ancient book in the Baibao Pavilion. It was tied with a golden silk thread, just revealing the title of the book written in Yunzhuan, "I picked it.
I got this Taoist book called "Langlang Book on the Clouds". I only want it and I won't take anything else from you."
Li Huai leaned forward, stretched his neck, slightly walked around Li Baoping, and asked: "Shouyi, why don't you choose that knife? It's so beautiful. If you were me, I would choose it."
It took a lot of effort for Lin Shou to move his eyes away from the narrow knife that occupied the largest area of Baobao Pavilion, and said softly: "I am not a martial artist, and I don't like to practice swordsmanship.
.”
Seeing that Lin Shouyi was unwilling to change his original intention, Li Huai began to persuade Li Baoping, "This knife is an unparalleled magic weapon in the world. It doesn't matter if it blows the hair or breaks it. I guess it can't even be used in the iron lock well in our town."
Iron chains can also be cut with one knife. Li Baoping, do you really don’t want such a good thing? Besides, isn’t your little uncle now a handy weapon? I think this knife is good for him to use. To say the least,
It's so majestic to use it to open roads into the mountains, it's better than holding a broken hatchet, right?"
That narrow knife, even if it is like a lady hiding in an embroidery building, it lies quietly in the white scabbard, and the arc is so beautiful that it is amazing.
A Liang smiled and bent down to draw out the narrow knife.
The sharp edge is revealed, and the blade is like a white rainbow lingering in the world.
There is no inscription on the blade, but there are natural lines, like the auspicious cloud talismans carefully carved by Taoist immortals.
A Liang was slightly surprised, and when he flicked his finger, it was not a muddy buzzing sound, but a clear and melodious sound. A Liang listened for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, it should be the 'lucky talisman' at the bottom."
A Liang put the sword into its sheath, handed it to the little girl, and said with a smile: "Take it, this sword is suitable for you. In the future, you will find a sword gourd, and hang it with this auspicious talisman sword on the left and right at your waist."
, find a tall horse, wear a red dress, ride the horse alone in the rivers and lakes, ride the horse and drink, everyone who sees it will like it."
A Liang laughed heartily, "Who wouldn't like a girl like this?"
Li Baoping held the heavy narrow knife in a daze.
Zhu He was also squatting nearby. Zhu Lu didn't want to come over at first, and even made some angry remarks, saying that she didn't care about the food. However, her father glared at her sternly, and then he forced her to come. This was the first time for a girl.
She was a little scared when she saw her father angry for the first time, but she still didn't want to squat down like Zhu He and stood there stubbornly with a cold face.
Li Huai took advantage of Li Baoping's inattention and grabbed a hand-length painted puppet. It was exquisitely crafted and lifelike.
This was the object that he fell in love with at first sight.
Lin Shouyi gently picked up the rolled-up ancient Taoist book and held it in his hand. For the first time, the introverted young man showed an expression full of joy.
Zhu He picked out a book and a clay-sealed elixir, and then looked up at the man in the bamboo hat with a shocked face. The latter smiled and said: "What, it happens to be something you and your daughter need? Thank you.
I want to thank Wei Bo and the snake and python. Over the past thousands of years, the family has accumulated enough wealth to be able to obtain a martial arts secret book from the Xian Family Mansion and a unique elixir from Zhenwu Mountain.
"
Zhu He held the pill in his palm and said with a trembling voice: "Senior A Liang, is he really the legendary 'hero's courage'?"
A Liang ignored the ecstatic Zhu He and looked up. Chen Pingan and Wei Bo were walking side by side. The latter saw the only pale golden seed left in the Baibao Pavilion and the narrow knife in Li Baoping's hand.
, Young Tutu looked calm, and then when he saw the book elixir in the hands of the others, he was stunned and couldn't help but look at the man in the bamboo hat. The latter turned a blind eye and smiled at Chen Pingan: "This is the only thing left.
But I guess it doesn’t matter if you come early or late, you’ll only get this lotus seed.”
Seeing the solitary light golden lotus seed, Chen Pingan squatted down, picked it up with a smile and put it in his sleeve pocket.
Li Baoping said softly: "Uncle Junior, I will trade with you. A Liang said this knife is very good..."
At this point, the little girl quickly shut her mouth with regret on her face. It was obvious that she shouldn't have said the second half of the sentence. As expected, Chen Pingan touched her head and said, "Okay, just accept it. Junior uncle doesn't
To practice swordsmanship, it is enough to use a hatchet to open roads in the mountains."
A Liang joked: "Yes, Chen Ping'an is a swordsman, so it's not appropriate to carry a sword."
Chen Pingan said angrily: "Then you still use a bamboo knife?"
Ah Liang acted rogue: "You care about me?"
Li Huai said softly: "A-Liang, this box belongs to me, right?"
A Liang asked: "What do you want this box for? Do you have so many precious belongings?"
Li Huai returned the favor, "You care about me?"
Everyone in the group gained something, even the young people Wei Bo and Black Snake. Except for the white python whose head was blown up and its body was eaten, everyone was happy.
Chen Ping'an was a slightly shriveled pale golden lotus seed, the size of a thumb. Li Baoping got the narrow knife named Xiang Fu, but he was a little unhappy and leaned it against the small bookcase with some disgust, but according to the
My uncle's suggestion was to use a piece of cotton cloth to wrap the narrow knife from beginning to end, making it tight and not exposed.
Li Huai got the painted puppet and the delicate yellow wooden box. The former was temporarily "borrowed" in Li Baoping's book box. Before putting it in the box, the child was very reluctant to leave it. He kept patting his chest and promising to the puppet that he would wait until he also had a book box.
, let it be moved to ensure it is spacious. Lin Shouyi kept the "Langlang Book on the Cloud" in his personal collection. The name is strange and full of ancient meaning.
Although Zhu Lu was reluctant, he still accepted the immortal secret book, "Purple Qi Book".
Zhu He is like a lucky man who has been blessed with rain after a long drought. He is a very stable man. He can't smile from ear to ear. It's not Zhu He, but he is too lucky. Now give him a mountain of gold and silver, which is not as good as one.
Even if you have money, you can't buy the Zhenwu Mountain Hero's Gall. This medicine can help the person who takes the medicine to condense the soul scattered in the acupoints and Qi Palace, and finally form a "house" hero's gall that is convenient for the Yin God to inhabit. Zhu He is not a Qi practitioner.
He is a warrior, let alone a military monk, but the reason why the heroic gallbladder is expensive and rare is that it is also suitable for pure warriors, especially those who are at the peak of the fifth realm. Obtaining a heroic gallbladder is equivalent to half an extra life.
A Liang asked softly: "How was your chat with the Land Master?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "That's good, the bag of stuff is also given away."
Aliang clicked his tongue and said: "You are not ambiguous, just give it away. I just said it casually before, and if you are talking about business, you should actually do it as a business. I believe that with that black snake and white
No matter how stingy the python is, he will be willing to give you a really good thing."
Chen Ping'an said: "I still understand the principle of keeping the fertilizer and water from outsiders' fields and planting in spring and harvesting in autumn."
A Liang nodded, held up his bamboo hat, "We will arrive at Red Candle Town soon."
Then the man wiped his saliva and said, "Newly brewed apricot flower spring, rouge little painted boat, I, A Liang, am back!"
Chen Ping'an suddenly had an ominous premonition about Hongzhu Town, which Aliang was always thinking about.
Wei Bo looked at the back of the group of people going down the mountain, sighed, tiptoed, and moved towards the top of the carapace of a mountain turtle, sitting cross-legged. After walking for dozens of miles, a black snake with a bulging belly walked with it in the distance.
, although his body is bloated, his momentum is soaring and he is extremely fierce.
Wei Bo suddenly smiled and threw a bag towards it, which happened to fall on its path. The black snake carefully lowered its head and sniffed. There was nothing unusual. It turned its head and looked at the immortal man on the mountain turtle.
The handsome Tu Di, who looked like a banished immortal, smiled and said: "This is a housewarming gift from that young man."
The black snake with four claws and four toes grew out of its abdomen. After a slight hesitation, it finally tore the bag open with its teeth and rolled out dozens of snake gallstones picked up by the young man from Longxu Creek. The color in the creek had faded. At first glance,
Look, they are no different from the pebbles in ordinary streams and rivers. However, after the black snake stared at it at close range, its eyes were burning and full of anxiety. It was afraid that it would be disappointed next moment. It slowly spit out the snake message and tentatively
Roll up a stone and put it in your mouth.
After seeing this scene, the young Tutu drove the mountain turtle and continued to move forward, saying to himself: "A good relationship has a good beginning, but I don't know whether it will end well."
A moment later, the black snake behind him grabbed the ground with its four claws, looked up at the sky, and let out a roar that resounded through the mountain peaks, startling countless flying birds that fluttered their wings and flew away.
Even the young Tu Di was a little envious, "I heard that except for the Li Zhu Cave Sky, this thing has almost disappeared in the East Aquarius Continent. It belongs to the dragon family and eating it can give birth to the muscles, bones, beards and scales of a true dragon."
Near Hongzhu Town, the white donkey stepped on the bluestone post road, making a crisp sound of ticking. A Liang did not hold the reins of the donkey, and the donkey would follow him. After hearing the roar, A Liang smiled vaguely.
Said: "It seems to be really useful."
Chen Ping'an whispered: "I left the most valuable snake gallstone, and I didn't want to give it away."
A Liang laughed loudly, "He is a chicken thief."
At the end of the team, after pulling away from Li Huailin Shouyi, Zhu He led the horse and whispered to his daughter: "You must keep that "Purple Qi Book". If everything goes well, this book
Books can take you all the way to the fifth realm! When the time comes and you cooperate with that heroic courage, you will be firmly in the sixth realm!"
The girl was stunned, "Dad, you gave me the elixir, what will you do?"
Zhu He chuckled softly and said: "Dad is still young. Now that his energy has returned, he might be able to break through the realm on his own and take a big step forward, which is the high scenery of the seventh realm. Now dad dares to think about it.
"
The girl who had been in a gloomy mood smiled brightly and said: "You are still young? Dad, do you want to find a beautiful little wife in Red Candle Town? Dad, don't worry, I won't stop you."
Zhu He looked embarrassed and glared at his daughter: "That's nonsense!"
The girl thought for a while and said, "Dad, you should keep that pill. I am only at the peak of the second realm, and it is still early for me to reach the fifth realm."
Zhu He smiled heartily and said: "You can keep it, just think of it as your future dowry."
The delicate girl seemed to be thinking of someone, her face flushed. Zhu He was in a good mood and said boldly: "When we come to our Li capital from now on, let's see which lucky man from aristocratic family can marry my daughter."
The girl stamped her feet and said shyly: "Dad!"
Zhu He quickly waved his hand and said, "No more, dad, no more."
On the post road in the dusk, Aliang stood on tiptoes, rubbing his hands constantly, looking at the soft outline of the red candle town. In the eyes of the man in the bamboo hat, he looked like a beautiful woman lying drunk in a wine shop.
He hurriedly said: "Chen Ping'an, we agreed in advance that you want to lend me a gold ingot."
Chen Pingan nodded, but he was a little confused, "A Liang, are you short of money?"
A Liang grinned and said: "Don't you understand? When I travel around the world, it's my grandson who borrows money, and it's my ancestors who pay back money. I've been so miserable by little brats like Li Huai and Zhu Lu along the way. I must do it."
Live up to the addiction of our ancestors and make amends for ourselves."
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Then I will give you a gold ingot. I won't borrow it, I will only give it away."
A Liang slapped the young man on the shoulder, laughed and said, "That's it! Give me the gold ingot for free."
Ah Liang looked forward, raised his arm and clenched his fist, "I can get a gold ingot from you, a money-crazed person, for free. I, Ah Liang, am really powerful!"
Chen Ping'an did not regret this, but quietly looked at the Hongzhu Town, which was getting closer and closer. The familiar atmosphere of the city came to his face. It was no longer the surging river and the deep mountains and old forests.
Chen Pingan turned to the little girl in the red cotton-padded jacket next to him and smiled: "When we get to the town, after buying everything for the road, we will go look for candied haws."
Li Baoping jumped forward happily, and the little girl gently bumped the small green bookcase behind her, "Little uncle! Let's just buy two bunches of small candied haws! The small ones are delicious!"
