In the corridor under the eaves of the first floor of the Bamboo House, Nuan Shu was busy with needlework, millet grains were chirping, and they were talking about the big white goose Qingping Sword Sect, what kind of official hats are there now.
Read the classics on a strong day, and read history on a soft day. Write bamboos when you are angry, and paint orchids when you are happy. It is better to read the collection of scholars in the spring breeze.
Chen Ping'an was looking through the military books. The first batch of books sent to Baidi City was actually prepared by Jise Peak. Five hundred Grain Rain coins will be received soon.
Shanzhong Jianfang just received a secret letter from Tongyin Ferry. On the basis of the original six departments and eight bureaus, Sect Leader Cui added several more branch offices under the Operations Department and the Merits and Demerits Department.
There were only a few people there, not much more than in Luolu Mountain. Brand-new "official offices" had sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Judging by their appearance, they were rushing to follow the 24th government offices at the residence of Lord Wuyue and Duke Dadu.
For those who have gone, I estimate that the final number will only be a lot higher.
Oh, as expected, I am still in Luolu Mountain, even more upright.
The boy in Zhu Yi who came to Luolu Mountain today to click on the mao painting, as the second most powerful person in the self-proclaimed Chuzhou City God's Temple, he gave himself a name, the Taoist name combined into one "Chicheng", mainly because of Mr. Pei's
The Lord and Vice-ruler Zhou have been around each other for a long time, and they have always felt that "treating people with sincerity" is a good saying. Not long ago, he was promoted to the chief protector of Qilong Lane after being appointed by Lord Chen.
That mount, the White Snake, which had no merit but hard work, has become famous now. Hey, as long as you follow the right person in the officialdom, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Her name "Bai Hong" was actually given by Zhuyi Tongzi casually. At that time, Shanzhu Chen talked about a lot of sages' principles in the book, but he couldn't understand it. Anyway, the main idea was to praise the name for her good achievements. She had not yet refined her form at that time.
The success made the speechless White Flower Snake burst into tears of gratitude. "Baihong" became her real demon name. Afterwards, Chen Pingan wished her a successful transformation. A middle-aged Taoist priest next to him who looked like an immortal was also very supportive.
, calling himself "Chunyang Luyan", also said some festive and auspicious words.
As a result, as soon as the white-flowered snake returned to Qidun Mountain, it successfully retreated that day. When it reappeared, it already looked like a graceful woman. The snow-white snake was transformed into a robe by her. The key point was between her eyebrows.
There is also a place that is like the miraculous "Tao mark" that ordinary babies are born with from their mother's womb... Sensing the strange phenomenon in the mountains and rivers, the mountain god Song Yuzhang was transferred from Jise Peak Mountain to Qidun Mountain. This person is almost never welcomed in the world of Beiyue Mountains and Waters.
The mountain god who sent her to her came out of the temple in golden form, and even came to congratulate her in person, calling her Taoist Fellow Baihong.
The boy in Zhu Yi sat on the golden pole of Vice Helmsman Zhou and whispered: "Mountain Master, Bai Hong is thin-skinned and said that she must save a gift as soon as possible so that she can have the face to come here again and kowtow to the Mountain Master to thank her.
.”
Nowadays, this little incense man from the Chenghuang Temple in Chuzhou travels all over the mountains and ridges to order Mao, and then he is replaced by a green snake to ride on.
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "You can go back and tell Taoist Bai Hong that you don't have to go to such trouble. I can just come here as a guest with you when I have time. If I encounter a practice pass in the future, whoever I can find on Luopo Mountain will be me."
Who, just ask her to ask random people. After hearing it, she feels that she still doesn’t understand it, so she asks a few more people. Practicing and asking questions is a big deal, and it’s not okay to be too thin-skinned.”
The boy in Zhu Yi asked tentatively: "Master Mountain Master, why don't I take Bai Hong's place and kowtow to you a few times?"
Chen Pingan waved his hand and said helplessly: ""
The boy in Zhuyi said cautiously: "When will the Lord of the Mountain be free to visit the city? I know the roads there well. Please let me know and I can lead the way for the Lord of the Mountain."
Don't look at it, but it's a slap in the face to Gao Ping, the City God. In my heart, it's always towards this master. I thought that it would be really brilliant to invite Master Chen Shan to visit the City God's Temple. And then there's this guy Gao Ping.
, I am too incompetent to be an official, and I don’t understand the slightest bit of human sophistication. Every time I talk to him carefully about the etiquette and etiquette of officialdom, Gao Ping not only does not appreciate it, but wants to save face and suffer.
Is it possible for a city god like you to say such taboo words?
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's hard to say the specific date for the time being, but don't worry, as long as I go to Zhoucheng, I will definitely go to Zhoucheng God's Temple to burn incense. I heard that your Temple of Wealth is very effective and is one of the best in the entire Beiyue territory.
,must go."
The boy in Zhu Yi was very happy, but soon he became a little sad, and there was a touch of sadness between his brows. He was afraid that if he made his own decisions, if Chen Shanzhu really went to the Chenghuang Temple, Gao Ping would put on a bad face to Chen Shan.
Lord, it's not afraid that it will end up like a human being, but it's worried that the relationship between Gao Ping, who likes to get into trouble, and Luo Luo Shan has gone bad, and it's also afraid that Master Chen, who is originally kind and well-intentioned, will get there and make himself unhappy in vain.
Chen Pingan gently turned over a page of the book and said casually: "Next time I see Gao Chenghuang, I won't say that you invited me there."
The little guy hummed softly. He should be happy, but he felt a little unreasonably aggrieved for no reason. He felt sour in his heart, like drinking tea from the previous night and not making good wine.
Master Chen Shan can be so considerate, why are you, Gao Ping, so hard-hearted? I owe you... Well, I jumped out of the incense burner of Tutu Temple in Mantou Mountain, so I owe you.
Chen Pingan closed the book and said with a smile: "Gao Chenghuang sees what you do, and Gao Chenghuang actually takes your thoughts into his heart. It's just that some people don't like to say something out loud. Of course.
, we have been unable to hear what we want to hear. As time goes by, of course we will feel disappointed, but there is no need to doubt the answer we have in our hearts for a long time. What do you think?"
The boy in Zhu Yi still said yes, but this time the little guy was no longer so sullen and dejected, but was full of energy and his eyebrows were flying.
Chen Ping'an stood up, put the military book in his sleeve, and said he wanted to go to the mountain gate for a walk.
Luopo Mountain announced that it would be closed for thirty years, and during this period it would not entertain guests or accept disciples.
However, because Chen Ping'an had said hello in private and allowed everyone in Luopo Mountain to privately recruit some direct disciples who had good connections, but in the short term, the ultimatum opening ceremony will not be held at the Jilingfeng Patriarch Hall until the opportunity is ripe.
, we can do it together. So Xianwei took advantage of this loophole and accepted an unnamed disciple.
Taoist Master Xianwei is a fake Taoist priest without serious teachings, but this disciple is a genuine Taoist priest.
This man now rents an old house in Erlang Lane, a small town, and goes to Xianwei from time to time for advice on Taoism.
Chen Pingan went to the foot of the mountain alone. Sitting at the table at the entrance of the mountain was a Taoist priest drinking tea. He looked like a middle-aged man who had been stagnant in the cave for many years. His real age was already Jiazi.
At this moment, Taoist Master Xianwei was drinking tea and chatting with this disciple. It was hard to say whether he was preaching, teaching, or helping to guide him.
According to Wei Bo, this wandering Taoist priest, named Lin Feijing, seemed to have Su Hui.
To put it simply, it is very likely that this person was a Taoist in his previous life.
Many virtuous people who were defeated by soldiers in the previous life can practice practice again once the opportunity comes and they have enlightened themselves in this life. Moreover, they can climb mountains quickly and practice smoothly all the way, as if they are protected by gods. Lin Feijing is from the Baishuang Dynasty in the south.
Anyone with a surname from Jiuqianzhou, a local county magistrate, and a Taoist priest said that Wei Bo had checked the archives of the Dali Ministry of Rites, and found that there were no problems with his life experience or character. This person had a firm Taoist heart, but his cultivation aptitude was average, sixty years old.
Next year, he is still just a Cave Realm Qi Practitioner. Because he was delayed by the war, he has no Taoist title for the time being. This time, Lin Fei traveled from the south of a continent to the north of Dali without any trouble. His original intention was to meet Chen Shan.
The master asked for Taoist teachings, but when he got here, he found that Luolu Mountain did not welcome guests. Because he could not see Chen Ping'an, he had to stop at the mountain gate. Lin Feijing did not want to return home, so he often drank tea at the mountain gate.
Thinking that he should not force himself to climb the mountain, Master Chen always had to go down the mountain, but then he was... intercepted by the gatekeeper Xianwei.
After some chatting, Xianwei persuaded: "Fei Jing, if nothing happens, just go back. Regarding helping you find a job in Huaihuang County, I already talked to fellow Taoist Jingqing not long ago before I became a teacher.
I’ve said it before, and the other party has promised to help you implement it in the near future, so don’t worry.”
Lin Feijing nodded, "Master can tell that Master Jing Qingxian clearly that in this profession, there is no need to worry about salary. The disciple just feels that he has found a place to stay and can make a little money. He doesn't have to spend money every day, so he feels more at ease."
.”
I heard that Immortal Master Jing Qing from Luo Po Mountain was an old Immortal in the Nascent Soul Realm who had returned to his original nature.
Xianwei complained: "What are you talking about? What is the relationship between being a teacher and fellow Taoist Jingqing? How can the monthly salary be low?"
Chen Lingjun is indeed very concerned about this matter, but the New Year's Eve shop owned by Shi Rou, the contemporary shopkeeper in Qilong Lane, only sells cakes. After all, Lin Feijing is a Qi practitioner and went there to work as a waiter. Is it possible that every month?
How many taels of silver do you only earn? But when it comes to asking Lin Feijing to go to the Caotou shop next door, first of all, he has not seen Brother Jia before, and secondly, the business of the shop is average. It is a small shop, and there are Zhao Denggao and Tian Jiuer, so
Chen Lingjun was really in a dilemma. From the beginning, he thought about whether he could secretly advance the money and discussed with Wei Wenlong and Zhang Jiazhen at the accounting office. He asked them to do a little favor and give Lin Feijing money every month in the name of Luopo Mountain.
Paying a salary is nothing more than a few snowflakes a month, but Chen Lingjun can still afford it, a small amount of money!
How can the gold ingots, ingots, copper coins at the foot of the mountain, and the three kinds of fairy coins on the mountain be as big as they are?
This is called heaven and earth, brotherly loyalty, and the greatest face.
It happened that Feng Yuan Ferry docked at Niujiao Ferry, and Chen Lingjun had talked about this matter with Brother Jia. Brother Jia was generous and said that it was no problem. It was a small matter of having more pairs of bowls and chopsticks in the shop, and Jing Qing didn't have to go to the accounting office.
I took a trip and said that he, Jia Sheng, paid for his monthly salary of a few snowflakes. Now he enjoys a comfortable life on the Fengyuan Ferry. With the title of second steward, he doesn't make less money, but he spends more money.
On the contrary, it has become a difficult task. Just let Lin Feijing go directly to the Caotou Shop and stop being a waiter. If his status drops, he will have to be given the title of second shopkeeper no matter what. It sounds better. Brother Jingqing, you can help me with it.
A few words to Jiu'er and Deng Gao, so that they remember that when they come to Taoist Master Lin's place, there must be rules for juniors to treat their elders, otherwise he, as the master, will have to follow the master's family rules...
One thing was decided. But Chen Lingjun didn't have time to tell Taoist Master Xianwei about the good news.
Lin Feijing stood up and said goodbye to his master.
The Immortal Captain stood up slowly, shook the sleeves of his Taoist robe, and reminded: "Visiting immortals to practice Taoism, refining Qi and breathing in and out, the first priority is to be sincere, and the Qi is calm and clear, so you must guard against arrogance and impatience. As for the realm, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
."
Lin Feijing bowed his head and said: "Master is right. How can we as Taoist monks place too much emphasis on realm and ignore the fundamentals? It is indeed the disciple who is impetuous. Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
In terms of eloquence and quick wit, Taoist Master Xianwei was almost able to deceive Chen Ping'an in Dali Capital City.
This disciple is really not bad! Just by saying a few words, the disciple can think of some truths that the master himself could not think of.
Xianwei patted Lin Feijing's shoulder and said, "Tao is natural. You must do something with a mind of inaction, and you must hone your mind of inaction in doing things. As long as you are calm and steady in cultivating the Tao, God will reward your hard work, and you will naturally be able to keep the clouds open.
See the moonlight."
Lin Feijing seemed to have some enlightenment, and once again thanked his master for these words of wisdom that were worth chewing over and over again.
Xian Wei had a sullen face and showed his master's score, but he actually breathed a sigh of relief and finally sent Lin Feijing back.
After all, Xianwei, who had accepted his apprentice, felt guilty and never dared to take the initiative to mention this matter to the mountain master. Xianwei even repeatedly told Xiaomili not to talk to Master Chen about this matter in a hurry. When the time was right, he would talk to Chen Shan himself.
The Lord reported this matter.
It's just that the Taoist Xianwei's guilty conscience is not the rule of sealing off the mountain and not treating guests, but being cautious when accepting disciples. It's his own impulsive actions. He is worried that he will mislead the disciples on the side of Master Chen. Don't accept it.
When he became an apprentice, he lost the iron job of being a janitor, causing him to return to his old profession. The master and apprentice went to work together to earn a living.
Fortunately, he was just an anonymous disciple who was usually treated as a Taoist friend, otherwise the Xianwei would really have persuaded Lin Feijing to return to his hometown as soon as possible.
In name, the Xianwei saw that Lin Feijing was eager to learn Taoism, so he reluctantly accepted him as his disciple. As for the truth, in the Xianwei's view, Lin Feijing was born in a noble family, and he was at least a fifth-level qigong practitioner with a small amount of savings.
The family background is not thin.
Xianwei is an old Jianghu. He had figured out the details of Lin Feijing in just a few words. For example, it seemed like nonsense. How many Xianjia ferries have you been to and how many Xianjia ferries have you ridden? That is.
Now there is no need to cheat for the sake of deceit, otherwise Taoist Master Xianwei could make Lin Feijing rich enough to travel north, but unable to return home.
Just like Chen Ping'an's comment, it can be said to be right on target.
If you are not an innocent family, you will not be deceived by Taoist Master Xianwei.
Lin Feijing suddenly stopped and asked, "Priest Xianwei, who is this?"
A man in a green shirt and long coat walked down the mountain path, with a hosta on his head and a gentle demeanor.
Xianwei turned around and saw that his head was as big as a dustpan. Why did the mountain master come down the mountain?!
Fortunately, Lin Feijing was smart enough not to call him master.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "My name is Chen Ping'an. Is this Taoist friend Xian Wei's friend?"
Lin Feijing glanced at Xianwei.
The Xianwei stamped his feet and said nothing. Raising his head or shrinking his head was all a matter of swordsmanship. He admitted it openly and confessed to Chen Ping'an that Lin Feijing was his anonymous disciple.
"Good thing."
Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Now that you have the status of master and disciple, Taoist friend Lin can live here. As for settling here at the foot of the mountain, or choosing a house in the mountain, it depends on the arrangement of Taoist Master Xianwei.
.”
Xianwei sighed softly in his heart, he was just the gatekeeper of Luolu Mountain, why did he look like a worshiped immortal master with a seat in the Jise Peak Ancestral Hall.
Lin Feijing hesitated for a moment, and first had a chat with the thunderous Shanzhu Chen, then stood up and said: "Shanzhu Chen, I rented a house over there in the town. I paid the deposit for half a year, and Master...
I asked someone to help me find a place to make a living in the county. I plan to live there in the near future and come back to trouble Master Chen in half a year."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "My family doesn't say polite words. In short, we just do whatever is convenient for us."
Taoist priest Lin Feijing bowed his head and thanked Chen Shanzhu, who fit his image in mind.
Be polite and serious.
————
In order to rush back to Luopo Mountain as soon as possible, Chief Zhou used the Three Mountains Talisman. He taught this Talisman to Feng Xuetao a long time ago. Since leaving the wilderness, Feng Xuetao has been studying this great Talisman.
Probably out of fear of being close to home, Jiang Shangzhen did not go straight to Jise Peak of Luolu Mountain. Instead, he took Feng Xuetao to Huaihuang County first and visited all the streets and alleys. Even for an Ascension Realm wild cultivator like Feng Xuetao, every time he visited
Hearing Jiang Shangzhen's light words of introduction, Feng Xuetao became more and more horrified the further he went. Not mentioning Fulu Street and Taoye Lane, there might have been someone in an inconspicuous narrow alley or a dilapidated house.
Born and raised here, I stepped on chicken and dog excrement every day, and eventually left my hometown one after another and became so and so.
Finally, they had a drink at the restaurant, which is the tallest building in the town. Standing by the window on the third floor, they could see the crab shop.
Feng Xuetao asked casually: "Since this restaurant is the tallest, isn't it also the territory occupied by a certain expert?"
As a result, Feng Xuetao discovered that Jiang Shangzhen had been looking up at the ceiling.
Jiang Shangzhen looked away and said with a smile: "There is a fourth floor above our heads. The owner's embroidered shoes are higher than our heads. Do you think it is higher?"
It's a pun. But Feng Xuetao misunderstood it and didn't take it seriously. Just because the "insider story" Jiang Shangzhen talked about today was all on paper. More truth was not revealed to Feng Xuetao, for fear that this Qingmi Taoist friend would be in the small town.
I didn't dare to take a breath while walking.
In the Land of Palm, it is extremely rare to have an Ascension Realm monk in the mountains.
What if there are two of them at the same time? It’s unimaginable. After all, in a corner with limited mountains and rivers, crowded with two ascenders on the mountain, it’s almost like door to door at the entrance to the market at the foot of the mountain.
What if there are more? Damn.
Therefore, in this incredible place like Lizhu Cave, the lower the realm, the more courageous you are to walk at night.
Foreign monks, the higher their level, the more careful they have to be.
For example, Feng Xuetao only knows a little bit more about the great monks here through some secrets on the mountain top. For example, there is very likely an ascension platform hidden here. Qi Jingchun, the teacher in the small town school, is the penultimate person in charge.
The saint of the Three Religions and One Family here is a very young scholar of the Fourteenth Realm. The only true dragon king Zhu in the world has the foothold of the great road. As for Chen Pingan of Luolu Mountain, Liu Xianyang of Longquan Sword Sect, Ma Kuxuan of Xinghua Lane, Ni
Pingxiang Gu Can and other "younger generations" who have left the small town now have more news circulating in the outside world.
Feng Xuetao said: "This visit to Luolu Mountain, do I need a backup gift?"
If Feng Xuetao was just an Ascended Realm wild cultivator, even if he passed by the Great Li Dynasty, he would only have to deliberately bypass Luolu Mountain and Piyun Mountain. Since the boundaries of your old Lizhu Cave Heaven have been established in Ruan Qiong's hands,
There is a rule that qigong practitioners need to hang sword talismans to control the wind within their jurisdiction. So if I can't afford to offend, how can I avoid it?
But since this time he is with "Chief Zhou" and is his first guest at Luopo Mountain, the etiquette on the mountain must be explained. The problem is that Feng Xuetao does not understand the temperament of the young hidden official. The quality and price of a meeting gift.
There is knowledge. Feng Xuetao is a wild cultivator, has a high Taoist experience, and has a good family background. For example, he has a valuable semi-immortal weapon that is as worthless as a chicken rib. Feng Xuetao is not stupid, so of course he is reluctant to give it away, and plans to keep it for later.
Disciple, as for the pile of magic weapons that cannot be refined into life objects, or are not cost-effective to refine, which one should you choose to give away? The prices of items of the same grade of magic weapons can be very different.
Jiang Shangzhen sat down again and took a chopstick to stew bamboo shoots with bacon. He specially selected the spring bamboo shoots called mudlihuang or huangnijian here in the town, and then slowly simmered them in a casserole with ham that had been dried for two or three years. Jiang Shangzhen
Chewing carefully, he smiled and said, "I have already helped prepare the gifts. Brother Feng doesn't have to worry about these little things."
Feng Xuetao shook his head and said, "No, I still have some savings."
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "Don't argue with me about this. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to go to Luo Luo Mountain. According to custom, in this small town, whether it's visiting relatives during the first month of the year or visiting to ask for help,
, you have to send pairs, not singles. So you either don’t send drinks at all, or if you want to send them, you have to send two bottles. So I have prepared two more lovable magic weapons for you."
What's more, during that narrow encounter in the wild hinterland, Feng Xuetao lost a lot of money. Can a wild cultivator earn as much money as a genealogy cultivator? Although you are Feng Xuetao in the Ascended Realm, I am Jiang Shangzhen.
This is how things should be said between good friends.
Feng Xuetao still insisted on his opinion, but Jiang Shangzhen had already raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Speak less nonsense and drink more. The more you walk, the more friendship you will have. If you really feel sorry for yourself, you can drink the wine in your glass and return the favor to me."
Consider it settled."
Feng Xuetao had no choice but to drink three glasses of wine in a row. He raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth. Jiang Shangzhen drank a lot of wine and picked more dishes. He smiled and said: "My level of drinking and the quality of the wine have always depended on the number of dishes.
Bad hook."
Inviting Feng Xuetao to serve as a worshiper of the Jade Guizong, apart from the fact that both parties had similar personalities and could pee in a pot, Jiang Shangzhen certainly had his own selfish motives.
For example, if he quarreled with others in the Shenzhuan Peak Patriarch Hall in the future, he would have a helper. Jiang Shangzhen finally no longer had to fight alone and pick on everyone in the room.
A bunch of people have been found, through several landscape newspapers controlled by the Jiang family, and Jiang Shangzhen personally went to the trouble, spent money from the gods, and used the word-of-mouth in dozens of different sects to help Qingmi.
Feng Xuetao, in the southern part of Tongyezhou, promoted it very loudly and his reputation spread far and wide!
This Bengfeng Zhenjun, who was famous for scolding Jiang Shangzhen in the mirror on Yizhou Mountain, kept throwing away money and scolding Jiang Shangzhen for his bad luck, and he actually got acquainted with Feng Xuetao, a man named Qingmi from Aaizhou.
I somehow got hooked up with Qing Mi, an old Feisheng. He was a mountain immortal born in Yeluzi. He had an extreme personality and liked to do evil things. He would retaliate for his crimes. Killing people was as common as eating and drinking. As long as he took action, he would definitely be punished.
Cutting off the roots and leaving no trace of future troubles, a fairy mansion was targeted by this ascension realm cultivator, let alone male and female monks, even the chickens that could lay eggs were not spared. The key is that there was no evidence even from the Confucian Temple...
This time Feng Xuetao is willing to make an exception and serve as a registered worshiper of a sect. You ask him what does Feng Xuetao want? Nonsense, what else can he want? Naturally, he is going to the Flower God Mountain in Jiang's blessed land, so he is named Rouge.
The fairies on the list should be careful and don’t travel out in the near future, for fear of being poisoned. I heard that this wild cultivator who has no Taoist companions on the surface has illegitimate children in seven or eight continents of Haoran. Maybe he has illegitimate children.
Jiang Shangzhen is one of them. Do you think this is true?
Poor Feng Xuetao, he hasn't even shown up in Jade Guizong yet, and he doesn't know his reputation yet, so he has already fallen into disrepute.
Basically, everyone agrees that the wild father of Jiang Thief came to Tongyezhou Jade Guizong to find his son to marry him.
Before coming to Aquarius Continent, Jiang Shangzhen carried Feng Xuetao to the Jade Gui Sect and initiated an impromptu meeting at the Patriarch Hall.
As for whether to invite Feng Xuetao to serve as a sect worshiper, there was no objection in the Shenzhuanfeng Patriarch Hall at that time.
They may not all think that it is a good thing for Feng Xuetao to serve as a worshiper. They may simply be used to opposing Jiang Shangzhen.
Probably it wouldn’t be a qualified Shenzhuan Peak meeting if I didn’t take the opportunity to scold Jiang Shangzhen.
Since Feng Xuetao's reputation is so bad, why should we, the Yu Guizong, take over such a hot potato? After all, it's easy to invite gods but hard to give them away.
Jiang Shangzhen only said, I almost knelt on the ground and begged him to come to Feng Xuetao of Shenzhuan Peak. He has a high realm. He is an ascendant realm that is hard to find even with a lantern. Don't abandon public service for personal reasons!
Assuming that Feng Xuetao is really willing to serve as a worshiper, how should the salary of an Ascension Realm person be priced? If it is too high, it will be much more than the rest of the Jade Guizong "foreign surnames" worship, and they will be named as guests. What will they think? If it is too low, Feng Xuetao will think.
Wouldn't he have any objections and think that we have lost his face? Don't cause a quarrel because it will create an enemy in the mountains.
Feng Xuetao is in the Ascension realm.
After all, Feng Xuetao is a wild cultivator. What can he do when he comes to Jade Guizong? Can he be used as a showy living ancestor?
Feng Xuetao is in the Ascension realm.
Jiang Shangzhen, if something happens to you in the future, such as Feng Xuetao being restless, getting into a dispute with someone in our Tongyezhou, or accidentally beating someone to death during the trip down the mountain, you, Jiang Shangzhen, will be responsible for delivering toilet paper to Feng Xuetao.
Wiping your butt and sweeping the latrine? A great monk in the Ascension Realm caused the trouble. Can you, an Immortal Realm, really take the responsibility?
"Feng Xuetao is in the Ascension Realm. Feng Xuetao is in the Ascension Realm. Feng Xuetao is in the Ascension Realm. Say important things three times!"
Being played rogue like this by Jiang Shangzhen, someone in the Patriarch Hall almost threw a chair.
Jiang Shangzhen turned to look at the statue in the Patriarch Hall, with a look of sadness and anger on his face, and began to complain, "ancestors, especially Old Man Xun, please open your eyes and take a look at what these people are doing, and Zongzong Wei, please listen.
Listen to how these bastards avenge themselves...
When it comes to quarreling, there is no taboo in scolding others, and when being scolded, one does not take it seriously. He is broad-minded and fat, and remains invincible.
After drinking and eating, Jiang Shangzhen leaned back in his chair and asked: "It seems that in the history of your Aaizhou, there has never been a monk of the Fourteenth Realm?"
Feng Xuetao smiled and said: "There are no fourteen realms in Aai Aizhou."
Not to mention Liuxiazhou, which is also a neighbor. After all, Aaiaizhou and Juluzhou are the least likely to deal with each other. They have been competing with each other for so many years.
You have the Fire Dragon Master of Paidi Peak, and we also have Wei She, the "Master of the Seventy-Two Peaks." You are as skilled in swordsmanship as the clouds, and we have Liu Jubao, the God of Wealth.
Jiang Shangzhen's Tongyezhou, in those days, everyone's Qi practitioners were over the top and underestimated Haoran Qizhou. To a certain extent, it was related to the fact that he had an old Taoist master of Donghai Temple in his family.
At this moment, three people came from the stairs. The leader was a man, wearing a blue shirt, long coat and cloth shoes. He had a young appearance, and his temples were slightly white. They were accompanied by a young man with a yellow hat and blue shoes, and a man with red cheeks.
The girl in the mink hat.
Jiang Shangzhen stood up quickly and said flattered: "Why did the mountain master come down from the mountain in person to greet..."
Chen Pingan said straightforwardly: "I went to check the accounts at two shops in Qilong Lane. Xiaomo said you were drinking here. Drop by."
The sentimental Jiang Shangzhen choked for a moment.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Let me introduce you to the two of you, Xiaomo, whose pseudonym is unfamiliar, and her Taoist name is Xizhu. Xie Gou, now she has changed her name to Meihua. Her Taoist name is a bit too many, so I won't go into details one by one."
Xie Gou curled his lips, Mountain Master, why don’t you treat me like a green onion? You only have seven or eight, at most a dozen or so Taoist names, and you can’t even pick a few of them?
Xiao Mo bowed and said, "Xiao Mo has met Chief Zhou."
One is a registered worshiper at the end of the mountain, and the other is a chief worshiper with outstanding merits.
Jiang Shangzhen walked quickly to Xiaomo, grabbed the other person's hand, and shook it vigorously, "Fellow Taoist Xizhu, I have heard of his name for a long time."
Xiao Mo was a little strange. It seemed that Chief Zhou had just returned from the wild world. How could he have heard about his name for so long?
Feng Xuetao had already stood up. Chen Pingan was the first to salute with clasped fists, and Feng Xuetao returned the salute. If it weren't for their common friend Jiang Shangzhen, the two sides would really have nothing to talk about.
Jiang Shangzhen turned to look at the wine table with messy cups and plates, and asked, "Should I ask someone to serve another table of food and wine?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "No, I ate before going down the mountain and ate a few more cakes at the New Year's shop."
Accompanying Yu Feng to Luo Lo Mountain, Jiang Shangzhen had given Feng Xuetao a sword talisman in the small town earlier, reminding him to hang it on his waist.
Feng Xuetao discovered that Jiang Shangzhen had become a different person since Chen Pingan showed up.
Earlier at the wine table, Jiang Shangzhen sighed and muttered, saying that the clothes were not as good as new and what could I do if the world was like this.
On the way, Jiang Shangzhen told some "interesting things" about Feng Xuetao's trip to the wilderness in his heart, such as being forced to go south by someone. In the end, someone disliked a real Ascended Realm wild cultivator who was in the way, so he let him say
Feng Xuetao, who has always been a dragster, returned north first to avoid hindering someone from drawing a sword and was accidentally hacked to death by random swords...
After that, the general process of the fight began. Gu Can didn't say much to Chen Ping'an, but Jiang Shangzhen spoke happily, spitting everywhere, saying that Cao Ci's group of young people were really not bad at all.
The Tiangan monks who are also young are not weak in terms of spells or Taoism. If it weren't for Cao Ci and Gu Can's magical moves, this fight would actually have been a fight.
Xie Gou sneered in his heart: "From what you said, it seems that only Cao Ci is interesting. The other monks are young after all."
Jiang Shangzhen exclaimed, "Miss Xie, can you hear what the mountain master and I are saying?"
Xie Gou opened his eyes and told lies, "Xiao Mo is just telling me what he said."
Xiao Mo said helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Xie Gou's real name is Bai Jing. He is an ancient swordsman of the same generation as Xiao Mo. His swordsmanship is... slightly higher than Xiao Mo's?"
Xie Gou chuckled and said, "Yeah, my swordsmanship is as good as Xiaomo's."
In Luolu Mountain, Xie Gou learned a lot of mantras.
Jiang Shangzhen, who has been among the flowers for a long time, is not blind. How could he not see "Xie Gou"'s affection for Xiao Mo? The azalea flowers are blooming like a fire, and the wind is nodding to say that he likes it.
I lost.
Mr. Jiang is tired. He is the leader of Luopo Mountain. He cannot fight anymore. If he cannot keep it, he will not be able to keep it.
Only Feng Xuetao, an outsider, could not hear the content of their voices.
When he arrived at the mountain gate, Jiang Shangzhen's eyes lit up and he was immediately filled with fighting spirit.
It turns out that when Chen Ping'an went to the restaurant to find Chief Zhou in the small town, he had already informed Zhu Lian on Luolu Mountain.
An old cook with a stooped figure and wearing cloth shoes, a boy in green, a girl in a pink skirt, a little girl in black, and Cen Yuanji who stopped walking at the foot of the mountain to take a rest.
In addition, there are two gatekeepers of Luolu Mountain, Brother Dafeng, Taoist Xianwei, and a white-haired boy who serves as the genealogy compiler.
Everyone was noisy and welcomed Chief Zhou home together.
Jiang Shangzhen felt warm in his heart in an instant. Besides the mountain owner, who else could have such treatment?
I think this is what it means for a man to work hard outside to earn money. To spend money on people who are worth spending money on and where it is worth spending money.
"I'm finally back." "I'm back!"
Jiang Shangzhen and the old cook smiled, raised their hands, gave each other a high-five, and then clasped each other tightly.
Chen Lingjun asked Chief Zhou to sit at the table quickly so that he could tap his shoulders and rub his arms.
Nuanshu went to boil water to make tea, Xiaomi Li was also diligent, and put dried fish and melon seeds on the table.
There are rules for worshiping the mountain, and you have to record the file with the Taoist priest Xianwei who is the gatekeeper. A white-haired boy has already taken out a pen and paper from his sleeve.
Aaizhou Sanxian Feng Xuetao, whose Taoist name is Qingmi, ascended to the realm, followed the chief worshiper Zhou Fei on a certain day of a certain year, visited Luolu Mountain, and gave a congratulatory gift and two magic weapons...
The white-haired boy who was responsible for compiling the chronology smiled on the outside, but in fact he was complaining in his heart. It was so rare that he finally became a fifth-level Qi practitioner.
Next, there must be a monk from the lower fifth realm, so that I, the music composer, can have fun? Why is there another monk from the ascension realm? It’s not interesting.
Everyone sat down and it was lively.
Chen Lingjun complained that Chief Zhou was late, and Brother Jia followed the Feng Yuan ferry to Tongyezhou.
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said that when Jia Lao Shenxian teaches in Yuhai Academy, he must support him and sit in the first row!
Chen Lingjun felt that the atmosphere was good, so he plucked up the courage to mention it to his father, saying that Brother Jia had been embarrassed to speak before. Being a lecturer in the academy was very stressful, so he thought if he could drink some wine to strengthen his courage before giving lectures...
Chen Pingan smiled and said it was no problem, let alone drinking before class. Even if Jia Lao Shenxian had a small drink in class, it would be no problem. Just pay attention to the appropriate amount. Yuhai Academy is a private academy anyway, so he could make an exception for Jia Sheng.
, he will personally discuss this matter with Sect Master Cui and Master Zhong.
Feng Xuetao sat next to Jiang Shangzhen and noticed that the girl with the strange name in the mink hat was looking at him sideways from time to time.
Judging from her appearance, she is probably a Jade Purity Sword Immortal?
Xie Gou, who has a girlish appearance, feels that he cannot tell the level of his realm, so he is more curious about his identity?
In fact, Xie Gou was talking to Xiao Mo, "Xiao Mo, can he carry two or three more swords than that Jing Hao?"
Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, "It depends on how well this person escapes."
In the past, Xiaomo would not have talked about this kind of topic at all. Now that Xie Gou is doing better and better in Luopo Mountain, he can talk to her more casually.
This is also a private suggestion from Mr. Zhu, Xiaomo, the more you treat Xie Gou as Bai Jing, the more Xie Gou becomes Bai Jing.
In fact, to put it in a more straightforward way, as much as your Xiao Mo likes Miss Xie, Miss Xie will also like Luopo Mountain.
Jiang Shangzhen joked: "What's the matter with the new superintendent, so unclear about the importance? Compared with his predecessor, the alcoholic Cao Gengxin, his ability to serve as an official is far behind."
A Longquan County Kiln Supervision and Construction Office. On the surface, it supervises the firing process of Longquan's kiln mouth porcelain that retains the identity of the official kiln. Of course, it also has a more important secret responsibility, which is to oversee everything within the old site of Lizhu Dongtian.
In fact, after the Longquan Jianzong moved away from this place, the only thing that the spies of the Supervisory Office had to keep an eye on was Luo Luoshan as the "biggest landowner". However, Cao Gengxin, who was born in the Cao family of Shangzhu Kingdom,
, is very smart. It is obviously the biggest responsibility of the Supervision and Construction Department, but Cao Geng did not care about it. As a result, he became the head of the Supervision and Construction Department for two terms.
Well, he is worthy of being a master who dared to care about Chi Lane and Chier Street secretly selling erotic albums when he was in his teens.
On the other hand, the new inspector is more stubborn. For example, when Jiang Shangzhen showed up in the town this time, if it was Cao Gengxin who was in charge, he would definitely turn a blind eye. But today, the spies in the inspectorate are...
Following him all the way, trying to investigate and determine the identity of Feng Xuetao next to "Chief Zhou", as well as the officials at the government office, they had already sent messages with flying swords, and inquired about the news at several nearby Xianjia ferries to see if this person had passed by.
Record... Just because the two of them used the Sanshan Talisman, in the middle of Aquarius Continent, Jiang Shangzhen communicated with Bai Yujing as usual, so the current Supervision and Construction Department would have been in a state of chaos. If it weren't for the Minister of Punishment
Zhao Yao had previously returned to his hometown and visited the Yamen of the Supervisory Office. Otherwise, according to the behavior of the new superintendent, he would have brought the matter to Piyun Mountain. The official document format of the Yamen Office was naturally the same as that of the tiger.
The government inquired about this matter, but in the winding and bumpy officialdom of Shanshui, this is not accountability.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "The current supervisor is called Jian Feng. He likes to accept death and is more serious about doing things."
When Feng Xuetao heard this comment, he felt a little pity for the kiln supervisor who was a neighbor of Luo Po Mountain.
The speech in the officialdom is either to say the opposite, or to say something obliquely. Anyway, there is something hidden in the words. Whether you can hear or understand them depends on the talent and experience of Gongmen Cultivation.
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and did not explain anything to Feng Xuetao. He was personally evaluated by his mountain master as "accepting death" and "being conscientious in doing things", which can be regarded as a great master of planning.
After drinking tea, we treated Chief Zhou to the wind and washed away the dust, and went up the mountain together.
Jiang Shangzhen laughed from the bottom of his heart and said: "With Brother Feng, there are now four people in Luolu Mountain who have reached the Ascension Realm."
Feng Xuetao was shocked and said: "What?! There are three Ascension Realms in Luopo Mountain?!"
Jiang Shangzhen said to the point, "Two of them are still sword cultivators, one is at the peak and the other is perfect. They may be far or near from the pure sword cultivators of the Fourteenth Realm."
When Feng Xuetao heard this, his heart strings tensed up instantly, and his Taoist heart was like a small boat heaving in the stormy waves. He finally suppressed the ripples of his Taoist heart and returned to a stable state.
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "These two are right next to you, three steps away."
Feng Xuetao couldn't help but feel his body stiffen and his breathing stagnated for a moment. After all, he was a wild cultivator who was used to strong winds and waves. Feng Xuetao quickly returned to his normal expression and said from the bottom of his heart: "I didn't tell you earlier."
Jiang Shangzhen said something that made Feng Xuetao temporarily puzzled. "It doesn't make any difference if you say it sooner or later. Anyway, here we are high-level, useless, and not very popular."
————
He parted with the founding disciple at Jiuhua Ferry and watched Pei Qian board a Xianjia ferry that would dock at Niujiao Ferry.
Chen Ping'an, who looked like a young man carrying a sword and whose pseudonym was Chen Ren, went to the capital of Qingxing Kingdom alone. The Liu family's way of governing the country was not as good as seeing it with his ears.
One of the avatars, Caiyushan Outer Sect Dianke, is old and is still in Qingling Country.
Qingling and Qingxing are just one word apart. In Haoran Jiuzhou, choosing a country name is actually more difficult than naming a sect on the mountain, so there are often prefixes such as southeast, northwest, and northwest, which is really a helpless matter. All single-character names,
Almost all of them are dynasties with a long history and profound foundation, which are somewhat similar to the "side by side king" in the name of the feudal king. They are definitely the most noble.
In the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, which is adjacent to the mountain where the prince of Xiyue is located, Wu Di, a Taoist priest from outside the country, still sets up a fortune-telling stall every day, rain or shine, and is unstoppable.
In the Yanzhou Prefecture of Dali, after school that day, Chen Pingan took his student Ning Ji and asked the latter to practice how to control a talisman boat. It swayed around. When encountering "wind and waves" in the sky, it would be like a small boat bumping and undulating on the water.
Just go all the way north and rush to the logging yard in Yuzhang County, Hongzhou.
Chen Pingan made an appointment with Lin Shouyi, and he will visit the logging yard today.
In fact, I had a conversation with Lin Shouyi before, and the result was good. This young god with a high level of arrogance actually said that he had something that he couldn't get away from. Chen Ping'an didn't tell you earlier.
In that reply letter, Master Lin asked Chen Ping'an to go to the logging yard himself if he was really anxious. It didn't matter whether he was there or not anyway.
Chen Ping'an had no choice but to make an appointment with "Lin Yupu" again. As expected, in today's world, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. Whoever owes money is the boss.
Late at night, Fu Zhou was walking on foot in a secluded landscape outside the county where the logging institute was located. Chen Pingan and Ning Ji each took out a road guide certificate and entered the county.
As soon as Lin Shou came to the gate of the county town, Chen Ping'an cupped his hands and said, "Lin Yupu hasn't seen you for a long time. I'm so frightened that it has delayed Lin Yupu's practice."
Lin Shou felt helpless, "It's really something. The date has been set long ago."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I Yuan Ying and you Yu Pu, whoever is more advanced has the final say whether things happen or not."
Lin Shou laughed angrily and said, "You're not done yet, are you?"
Chen Pingan smiled casually and introduced the students around him.
Ning Ji subconsciously shouted: "Uncle Lin."
Chen Ping'an held back his laughter, "Ning Ji, you called me wrong. According to the hierarchy of our cultural background, Lin Yupu is your master's second disciple. His realm is high, but he is one generation lower than me, sir, so you have to call me
Just say Brother Lin."
Lin Shouyi was too lazy to argue with Chen Pingan, and nodded and smiled with the dark and skinny young man: "My name is Lin Shouyi, and your husband and I are from the same hometown. Just call me Senior Brother Lin. Remember, don't imitate your husband who likes to say weird things in the future.
"
Ningji grinned, his husband never said weird things, he always meant what he said.
Lin Shouyi laughed from the bottom of his heart and said, "Why are you so nervous?"
Chen Ping'an sighed, "No wonder you made a mistake in sending the message, otherwise I would have come to pay Uncle Lin a New Year's greeting."
Lin Shouyi smiled and said, "You just come to the door empty-handed?"
Chen Ping'an said: "How is that possible?"
Lin Shouyi said: "The county town is not big. It only takes a few steps to get there. My father is already waiting."
His father had actually asked the kitchen to prepare meals. He either asked Lin Shouyi why he hadn't arrived yet, or asked him to go outside to see if he had arrived.
Lin Shou smiled and said, "Then you go back. Come back next time and choose a daytime date."
Chen Ping'an said with a dark face, "Just wait. When we see Uncle Lin, I will find a place to talk about Dong Shuijing."
Lin Shouyi shut up immediately.
Arriving at the entrance of the logging yard, Chen Pingan straightened his clothes and took a long breath.
Lin Shouyi thought it was interesting and rare. It seemed that Chen Pingan was really nervous.
The logging courtyard also has the layout of an official residence in front of the government office and behind it. Lin Shouyi took Chen Ping'an and Ning Ji to the residence in the back.
Chen Ping'an was holding gifts in both hands. They were all local specialties. They must not have cost much, and they were all given with his heart.
Lin Shouyi called daddy, and then Lin Zhengcheng walked out of the main room.
Lin Shou repeatedly took gifts from Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan bowed and saluted, and said apologetically: "Junior Chen Pingan, wish Uncle Lin a happy old age."
Lin Zhengcheng nodded, his face sullen, but there was a smile in his eyes, "It doesn't matter, it's not too late."
Lin Shouyi felt a little sour in his heart. Dad, that's not what you said before. You kept saying it so late. Why do you still wish me good years? Do you wish me good luck ten months in advance?
Chen Pingan introduced the students around him. Lin Zhengcheng and Ning Ji smiled and said, "I look like your husband when he was a child."
We entered the main hall together, there was an Eight Immortals table, and the other furnishings were the same as those in our hometown.
Lin Zhengcheng asked: "Can I drink?"
Chen Pingan said cautiously: "You can drink some."
Lin Shouyi smiled and said: "Chen Ping'an drinks a lot. I heard he almost never gets drunk."
Lin Zhengcheng glanced at his son.
Lin Shouyi stopped talking.
There is nothing I can do about it, Chen Ping'an is just that typical "other people's kid".
Since the last heart-to-heart talk with his father, Lin Shouyi has been doing much better on his father's side. He is not so frightened into silence by just a look, and he is not so scared that his father's casual words will hurt his heart, let alone
It may take days, maybe months or even years, but there will be no relief.
Lin Zhengcheng asked people to bring the food to the table, removed the mud seal of the wine jar, stood up and helped Chen Pingan and Lin Shouyi pour wine, smiled and asked Ning Ji if he could drink it, the young man turned to look at his husband, Chen Pingan smiled
Saying that he would just drink a little, Lin Zhengcheng poured a full bowl of wine for the young man and said with a smile, "Pouring a full bowl of wine is the custom in our hometown. It doesn't matter whether you finish it or not. If you can't finish it, you can leave it."
With.
The wine on the table was filled.
Lin Zhengcheng didn't move his chopsticks, and no one took them.
Lin Zhengcheng picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and knocked it gently on the table. Except for Ning Ji, who just took a sip, Chen Ping'an and Lin Shouyi both finished the wine in one gulp.
Lin Zhengcheng was silent for a moment, looked at Chen Ping'an, and said with a smile: "Chen Quan and Chen Shu gave birth to a good son."
The couple in the small town's Mud Bottle Alley, both surnamed Chen, are both recognized by their neighbors as good people.
And their children, year after year, finally met a girl of the same age from another country after reaching their teenage years.
At that time, the straw sandal boy introduced himself like this: Hello, my father's surname is Chen, and my mother's surname is Chen, so... my name is Chen Pingan!
Lin Shouyi did not go to see Chen Ping'an. He just gave the young man a piece of food and said with a smile: "Ning Ji, try it."
————
In the territory of Qingling Kingdom, there is a wild stream originating from Caiyu Mountain. There are apricot trees on both sides of the bank, and the flowers bloom like snow. This wild stream flows into the largest river in Qingling Kingdom. The water transportation is busy, and there are many official ships coming and going. The river flows
All the money is real gold and silver. The Zhuzhi Sect is the number one immortal house in Qingling Kingdom, and its relationship with the imperial court has always been stable.
I had a drink with Shuilongfeng Xiahou Zan and Xiahou Jianxian before. As a guest of the Zhuzhi Sect's outer sect, Chen Chen's monthly salary doubled from six snow coins.
After all, he is a Dianke, and Sesame Official is also an official. There will be dividends at the end of each year, but it depends on the business conditions of Zhuzhi Sect.
Chen Chen likes to fish at night and is willing to spend a lot of money to build a nest. People here in Cai Yushan like to joke that when Chen Dianke and we build a nest, the water level of the entire wild stream will rise by an inch.
That night, Uncle Bai found Chen Chen. The old man watched for a while how skillfully the outside doorman Dianke walked the fish, and then he threw a more than thirty kilograms of herring into the big fish basket. He didn't know whether it was a man walking a fish or a fish walking a man.
After seeing the excitement, the old man got straight to the point and said: "Old, I won't beat around the bush with you. I suggest you find a new job, because this kind of thing belongs to Cai Yushan who makes his own decisions and unilaterally breaks the contract, so the Zhuzhi Sect
The accountant will give you a sum of magic money. You can get it tomorrow morning. As for me, there is no need to say goodbye."
The old man who was squatting by the stream had a look of astonishment on his face. He stared at the old man for a long time. After confirming that he was not joking, he became anxious and threw the fishing rod at his feet. He stood up and said, "Uncle Bai, this is inappropriate, but everyone
If there is an extra six snows per month, we have to kick people out? Is our Yushan so short of money that we can't open the pot? It's okay, at worst I will suffer a loss, and the accounts will still be based on the twelve snows per month.
I will pay the salary to avoid causing trouble for the Xiahou Sword Immortal. In private, I will return all the extra six snow coins to Caiyu Mountain."
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It has nothing to do with this. You don't need to know the reason. It won't do you any harm to leave early."
"Uncle Bai, if you continue to be so careless about affection, I'm really going to say, 'If you don't keep me here, you will have a place to keep me'!"
Chen Chen said: "To be honest and honest, without a young and promising foreign sect guest like me who can still work hard without complaining, it will be a loss for your Zhuzhi Sect!"
Bai Ni smiled and said: "It's best this way. If you regret it, you can tell me later. One day, at worst, I will shamelessly beg you to return to Caiyu Mountain."
If the Zhuzhi Sect can survive this difficulty, Bai Ni is indeed willing to let this outer sect Dianke come back to Cai Yushan. But things are unpredictable. Tomorrow will be cloudy or sunny, but what should I say today?
"What happened? Is there some kind of enemy who failed to eradicate the Zhuzhi sect back then, but now has a very powerful enemy who has come to the door, clamoring to destroy the sect?"
Chen Chen whispered: "Uncle Bai, I'm not going to brag. If it's such a thing, I can mediate. I'm average at fighting, but I'm good at reasoning."
Bai Ni laughed angrily: "That's nonsense!"
Do you think our Zhuzhi Sect is Zhengyang Mountain?
To be honest, the old man really didn't want to leave.
Not only Bai Ni, but also the old craftsmen of Cai Yushan all like this young man who can brag, drink well, and is serious and careful in his work.
Whenever a fish is caught during night fishing, young people often put on aprons and cook, inviting the old people to have a drink together in their free time and listen to the old stories told by the stone quarrymen and jade quarryers.
"Uncle Bai," he said decisively, "Uncle Bai, I'm just going to leave my harsh words here today. If there's no valid reason that can convince me, I won't leave. What's the point of working so hard? I'm just thinking about Uncle Bai."
Let me introduce you and get a genealogical identity in the Zhuzhi Sect."
Bai Ni smiled and said: "Why, they really got it right. You are a poor boy, but you have a high spirit. You feel that our leader Guo has no Taoist companions. Do you have any ideas?"
Chen Chen was really anxious this time, "Damn it, these guys are chewing their tongues like bitch-tongued old women. I'll make them spit out all the food and wine. They still want to eat fish and drink wine, right?"
Eat shit and drink urine..."
Looking at the cursing young man, the old man patted Chen Chen on the shoulder and said, "Just take my advice and let's go."
Silently, he squatted on the ground again, picked up the fishing rod, gathered the bait on the hook, and threw the rod into the water.
The old man sat aside and was unwilling to say harsh words to the young man. He smiled and said, "You really don't know the heights of the world. You think there is an opportunity for Master Guo to become a Taoist couple, right?"
Chen Chen said helplessly: "Even if Master Guo likes me, I don't like her."
The old man smiled and said, "Oh? Do you have a girl you like in your heart?"
Chen Chen grinned, "Yes, and we're about to get married."
The old man nodded and said, "That's a good thing. Remember to send me a wedding invitation when the time comes. I will definitely go to the wedding banquet. Can you sit at the main table?"
The premise is that if there is still a chance to have a wedding banquet, the old man will definitely go.
Chen Chen smiled and said, "As long as Uncle Bai dares to sit at the main table, I have no objection."
The old man smiled and said: "Chao, can you change your bad habit of bragging and not drafting in the future?"
Chen Chen stared at the fishing line on the water and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Bai, tell me everything. To be honest, is our Zhuzhi Sect in big trouble? Is it over there at Zhengyang Mountain?"
Bai Ni hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, it's hard to tell you this. In short, I have encountered a hurdle that I can't get over. As for whether it has anything to do with Zhengyang Mountain, you don't need to know. Just know it well. In short, you should hurry up
Leave and stay out of it, I won't harm you."
After sitting quietly for a while, the old man got up and left.
Chen Pingan turned his head and glanced at the old man's back. After retracting his gaze, he continued fishing.
Two hundred years ago, Guo Huifeng personally signed a landscape contract with the Qingling Kingdom court, renewing the lease of Cai Yushan for a period of two hundred years. It happened to be expiring this year.
As the largest of the Zhuzhi Sect and the only place where the treasure trove is located, Caiyushan must be thinking of renewing the contract.
Earlier, Xiahou Zan came over to collect the rent. It seemed like a normal thing, but in fact, it was just like Guo Huifeng guessed. Whether it was Yan Jianxian of Zhengyang Mountain, Shuilongfeng, who secretly gave the instructions, or Xiahou Zan himself wanted to make up for it, anyway, it was Xiaomen who suffered.
Xiaohu's Bamboo Branch Sect. The Bamboo Branch Sect does have a so-called priority renewal, but this clause, which seems to be written in black and white in the contract, is optional.
The jade mountain behind Chen Ping'an has been continuously mined for hundreds of years. According to the latest survey results of the Qingling Kingdom's geologist, all jade reserves are estimated at one hundred and twenty Guyu coins.
This is excluding the cost of mining. The Bamboo Branch Sect has to pay the salaries to its own Qi practitioners and craftsmen, as well as some additional expenses for managing relationships with the high-ranking officials of the Qingling Kingdom.
What's more, as one of the vassal sects of Zhengyang Mountain, Zhuzhi Sect still needs to share accounts with Zhengyang Mountain every year. After deducting such a sum of fairy money, Zhuzhi Sect will be able to mine all the Caiyu Mountain in the next hundred years and it will be exhausted.
Is it worth thirty or fifty grain rain coins? So Guo Huifeng initially planned to ask Bai Ni’s master, the money-managing monk of the Zhuzhi Sect, to make an offer to the Qingling Kingdom’s court for thirty grain rain coins. He was very sincere.
.
The Zhuzhi sect is divided into two branches: Caiyushan and Jizushan. Guo Huifeng comes from the Caiyushan line. Ling Xie, the founder of Zhanglu, comes from Jizushan. His Taoist name is "Yuqi". His disciple Liang Yuping is this woman who is also Zhanglu.
The disciple of the Lord of Jizu Peak.
Early the next morning, Bai Ni first went to a house at the foot of the mountain. The young man who was the guest of the outer door still left. The old man was relieved, and then went to the nearby Caiyushan counting house, only to find that it was old.
Since he didn't receive the magic money that was regarded as severance pay, the old man laughed and cursed, "You brat, you're quite angry."
If you bump into Jiujiu, the old man will inevitably want to teach you a lesson: You are not a wealthy fairy godfather, you are about to get a wife, so why bother with money.
By the wild stream, a wind and rain blew the apricot blossoms like flying snow.
Bai Ni held an umbrella and walked by the water, wanting to see more of the apricot blossoms that he didn't know if he would see again in the future. As the old man walked, he discovered that looking at the old scenery with your heart is like a new scenery.
The landscape of my hometown, which was facing each other day and night, seemed like a stranger I had never met before. The wind blowing the flowers and falling, made me look more like a skinny beauty with a frown on her face.
The old man walked all the way to the junction where the stream merged into the Qi River, and found a black spot on the water's edge. It was lonely and with a bleak back. It looked very pitiful.
When I took a closer look, I saw a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat, a raincoat and straw sandals. He had a young appearance and was dressed as a Taoist priest.
The other party claimed to be a charlatan who ran into trouble with his family. He couldn't find a hero for a penny. He had bad luck and a lot of misfortunes. He was really in a bad situation. Today he happened to pass by a treasure land and fished a few fish in the rain to satisfy his hunger.
Bai Ni laughed casually and asked Tao Chang how the fish was. The Taoist looked embarrassed and said it was okay. When the weather cleared after the rain, he lit a fire and started the pot. Today he could finally have a full meal.
I guess I guessed that the old man was a genealogy monk from Caiyu Mountain. I also saw that the old man had no intention of leaving for a while. He was a foreign Taoist priest who went fishing at the gate of someone else's mountain. He felt a little uncomfortable after he wanted to show his face.
Bai Ni doesn't mind outsiders coming here to fish. Not to mention Qihe River, it's Yexi River. Could it be that someone else's name is engraved on the fish in the water?
In fact, the old man was not interested in fishing at first, but it was just that Dian Ke was familiar with it. Over time, the old man began to see some interesting things. What's more, as the old saying goes, many times, watching people fishing is like hearing the sound of books in a dream.
It's interesting, not to mention watching people fishing with rods, it's like drinking free wine, you can pour it on. The young Taoist's fishing skills are quite good, and he caught several fat crucian carps one after another without seeing how he could mend his nest.
, the Taoist priest remained silent, and finally caught a few more fish. Seeing that the bamboo fish basket could no longer be filled, the Taoist priest had no choice but to explain: If you can’t stew it in one pot, and you can’t finish the rest, you can take it with you.
Go to the market fish market to sell money and exchange for some expenses.
Bai Ni nodded, turned and left.
The old man holding the umbrella had not walked out a few lines when he heard the fishing line suddenly straighten behind him, and then there was the sound of a big fish pulling the line.
Hearing the sound, Bai Ni knew that he was catching a big fish. The old man was a little happy for the Taoist priest, and he didn't want to see people walking around with fish. After a while, the Taoist priest shouted loudly: "Old man, stay here, I can't buy it."
Buy a fish?! This fish looks very strange and mysterious. Take a look, there are writings on its forehead!"
The Taoist priest had lost his fishing rod at this moment and sat cross-legged, holding in his arms a large carp with golden scales and red tail that was half the length of a human. He stretched out his hand to hold the fish's forehead and said with a blush on his face: "The price is negotiable!"
Bai Ni turned around and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what's the word?"
The Taoist priest was in high spirits and slapped the fish's forehead. "Only half of the 'corner' remains of the clay-gold writing. The poor Taoist can still vaguely recognize it. The rest of the traces are like light bird seals. It has been too long and the writing on ancient stele has become unclear. It only talks about carp."
There is a "horn" on the forehead. How can such a sign be remedied?! Don't be a sperm. It would be a pity to stew and eat it for poor Tao. Besides, poor Tao is also worried about being punished by God and being struck by lightning. Old man, you see we are destined.
It's another big carp caught in front of your house. Why don't you buy it and keep it at home? It's such an auspicious thing. A few fairy coins are nothing. Uncle, you think it is or it isn't..."
The old man holding the umbrella was a little helpless. Do you think I, Bai Ni, am that kind of three-year-old child? You, a foreign Taoist priest, just fish, how can you still get money by cheating me?
However, the old man still listened patiently to the Taoist priest's nonsense without exposing the other party. He thought that if Chen was still here, the two sides would probably have some conversation.
There are swindlers all over the world who fake and sell antiques. In short, they just tell stories. They are either handed down from ancestors or just dug out of the ground.
The old man remembers that Chen Chen once said about a sideways way of making money. Near some Xianjia Ferry near the water, there are often swindlers who prepare a fish with an inscription on its forehead in advance. It is best to be a carp that sells well. It must be
Red and gold are better. This fish must go through the rivers and rivers into the sea, and return to the land and waters after many years. It is similar to what is recorded in the book. A certain monarch once wrote an inscription with a red pen. Is it possible that it is this one? All the immortal masters can help to fish it.
Palm Eye... In addition, there are a few helpers nearby to make noises, and take the lead in setting prices, specifically to deceive those mountain gods who have read some books but not much.
In fact, the old man has always suspected that Chen Nao himself has done this kind of thing, otherwise he is the kind of person who acts as a trust for others and then sits on the ground and shares the spoils afterwards.
Bai Ni sighed, it was really not easy for these rootless wild cultivators in the mountains and swamps to make a living, so he waved his hand and signaled to the Taoist priest to stop bothering and go elsewhere to swindle money.
The carp spoke in a buzzing manner, vaguely. The two golden fish tentacles beside the carp's mouth were trembling, hanging in the air like water plants.
The Taoist priest worked harder and louder, shouting at the top of his voice: "Old man, did you hear this? This fish can really talk. It's really scary! I can't understand the content. It's probably Yayan from other continents."
The golden carp that was only half a step away from successfully refining its shape did indeed swim all the way from the sea to Dadu and come here to the Qihe River to relax. However, near Baidi City in Zhongtu, it fell short and failed to leap over the Dragon Gate.
It fell endlessly, but relying on the intertwined atmosphere of the remaining Dao Qi and Dragon Qi, the water temples and temples along the way did not dare to stop it. It was originally swimming leisurely and well, but somehow it was stopped by this bastard who seemed to be waiting for a chance.
The Taoist was caught ashore using the most despicable method of anchoring fish. It was still in pain. It couldn't help but cursed: "Stinky Taoist, let go quickly! You are not a human being!"
The Taoist priest's face was full of complaints, he sighed, and quickly reached out to cover the mouth of the old fish from Taiye Pond, "We are talking about business, Taoist friend, please stop talking."
