One hundred and thirtieth chapters are the same under the mountain
Once sleeping in the wilderness, a night watch is indispensable. Before the Red Candle Town Pillow Inn, it was Chen Ping'an who watched the eve. Zhu He, as a martial artist of the Five Realms, has a strong body and can stay up late, so he is responsible for watching the next night. Now Zhu
When the river left, it became Lin Shouyi's watch the night before and Chen Ping'an's night after, trying to keep the bonfire burning to prevent accidental invasion.
Chen Ping'an is no stranger to this. Firing porcelain in a kiln and staring at the kiln fire are bigger than the sky. Chen Ping'an has been a kiln worker apprentice for so many years. Although he is regarded by old man Yao as not having enough talent, he is unwilling to teach the secrets of pressing the bottom of the box.
In the porcelain-firing craft, Chen Pingan does the rest of the hard work with almost no mistakes, so Chen Pingan is very familiar with the vigil that competes with patience and perseverance.
In addition, I can also take advantage of the night watch, in the dead of night, to practice walking and setting up the Shanshan music by myself. Occasionally, I can knit straw sandals, or take out the small dragon-slaying platform to help Li Baoping sharpen his narrow sword.
Knife auspicious talisman.
As the sword furnace was getting better and better, especially the qi fire dragon in the body, it finally chose two qi palaces as its habitat. Whenever Chen Ping'an made a hand with his fingers like a sword furnace, beware that his mind would follow.
Breathing in and out again and again, slowly immersed in it, the whole person will fall into a mysterious state of half asleep and half awake. Even if the spring cold lasts for a long time this year and the summer heat never comes, Chen Pingan will stay late at night every time, even if the bonfire is
Even if it was accidentally put out, Chen Ping'an still wouldn't feel any dampness or chill. Every time he put away the sword stove, he stood up and stretched his muscles by walking, his whole body was warm, and he didn't feel tired at all during the day.
Tonight, Chen Ping'an continued to sit cross-legged by the bonfire, diligently practicing the sword furnace. The aura in his body soon followed the qi palace in his dantian, like a carp swimming upstream, towards the dragon gate little by little. Then when the sword qi left,
After stopping for a moment at the acupoint you visited, it is like a traveler staying at a hotel to rest, or like a mountain climber taking a breath halfway up the body. Then he will gather his strength and continue sprinting, going around the back of the neck, and finally straight to the center of the eyebrows.
After Chen Ping'an opened his eyes, he exhaled a breath, stood up, jumped a few times, quickly turned around and saw Yu Lu getting off the carriage and walking slowly, holding something indescribable in his arms.
Squatting beside the bonfire with dry branches, I learned from Chen Ping'an to build a "stove" and carefully added firewood instead of throwing it away. The fire quickly grew bigger.
Yu Lu stretched out his hand close to the fire, rubbed his hands gently, turned around and said with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, can I participate in the vigil in the future? If you want to practice this boxing method, it's best not to be distracted. My health is actually okay, I believe you.
I have also seen it, so if you are willing to believe me, you can give me the two hours before dawn."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Yu Lu, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need you to keep vigil for the time being."
Yu Lu knew the implication of Chen Ping'an's words, and he was not worried about putting everyone's safety on Yu Lu. The tall young man did not become angry and nodded: "You can give me orders if necessary, I also want to
Do something for everyone, otherwise you will feel bad."
Chen Pingan looked at the face illuminated by the firelight. It had sharp edges and bright eyes, which made people clearly feel his kindness.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Okay."
Yu Lu said casually: "According to the time, it is already summer, but the weather is still like late spring."
Chen Ping'an echoed: "This year is a little strange."
After Yu Lu chatted for a few words, he stood up and left. Chen Pingan watched the tall young man leave.
According to Lin Shouyi's private statement, Yu Lu's chess game may not seem to be very lethal, but it is actually more powerful than Xie Xie, a girl who plays chess with blood splattering everywhere.
Chen Ping'an had long discovered that Yu Lu was extremely careful and meticulous in his work. Lin Shouyi said that Yu Lu was even more reliable in his work than the most seasoned and skilled old subordinates in the government office.
Chen Ping'an has a deep understanding of this. For example, after seeing him weave straw sandals once or twice, Yu Lu was able to weave them by himself very quickly. The pair on his feet was Yu Lu's own work.
When Ping An was fishing, Yu Lu would often stand aside and watch silently, watching at what time and in what water section Chen Ping An set the hook, how to cast and lift the rod, and how to walk the fish after catching a big fish and let the fish
With his head above the water, how to carefully swing his head to unhook the big fish when it first sees the light, etc. Later, once, when Chen Ping'an had something to do and had to do something else, Yu Lu would ask if he could let him
After giving it a try, Yu Lu, who had never had any fishing experience before, took over the fishing rod from Chen Pingan, and the fish caught turned out to be pretty good.
Regarding all this, Chen Pingan didn't say anything, he just saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He felt that if this tall young man who didn't even know his name was true or false, if he was a good person, he would definitely be very good. If he was a bad person, Chen Pingan
It's really unimaginable.
Nothing happened all night.
In addition to the dwindling bonfire beside Chen Ping'an, a lamp was lit early in the carriage in the distance and stayed on all night. I don't know what book the young man in white was reading, so fascinated.
As the sky dawned, Chen Pingan began to hold his breath and concentrate. He came to the widest view halfway up the Hengshan Mountain. As the sun rose in the east, he began to box. Li Baoping and Lin Shouyi joined in one after another, but Li Baoping and Lin Shouyi were not sure.
Huai, after fighting for a while, he ran away. Yu Lu and Xie were not surprised by this. Today, the boy in white lifted the curtain, stood on the carriage, and watched them boxing in a orderly manner. At first, he would sneer at it, and he would never give it a glance.
Observing again, but as time went by, the time that the young national master stood idly by in the distance became longer and longer.
After breakfast, the group began to walk along the mountain road to the top of the mountain, passing by the Qing Niangniang Temple, which was recorded in the local county annals, and the old cypress tree that depended on the small temple.
It is already comparable to the locust tree in Lizhu Cave.
Lin Shouben thought that Chen Pingan would continue on his way, but he didn't expect that Chen Pingan went to the temple to have a look, and then called him and Li Baoping and Li Huai in. It turned out that the small temple was in a mess, the smell of alcohol was high, and the standing statue
When Li Huai raised his head at the clay statue in the shrine, he looked nothing like the ghost girl who played chess with Lin Shou last night. Lin Shouyi had dealt with the Yin God the most along the way and knew many inside stories, so he explained it to her.
Li Huai heard that people in many places were grateful to the gods who protected them. The golden statues they erected to offer sacrifices and enjoy incense were often distorted and may not even resemble their true appearance, but this would not affect the worship of the gods.
Incense.
After spending half an hour cleaning the small temple, Chen Ping'an and the others continued to leave. Before leaving, Lin Shouyi stood alone near the futon at the foot of the altar and presented himself to the Qing Empress who had given him a unique chess book.
, and said goodbye.
At the same time, the boy in white took Yu Lu across the threshold. Cui Chan looked around, then walked to the altar and looked at the small incense burner filled with ashes. It was an ordinary copper burner. It may have been passed through for several times.
With the accumulation of hundreds of years, the surface of the copper furnace is shiny. The incense burned to the end in the furnace is densely packed together. It can be seen that the small temple here, even if it has not been included in the Huangting Kingdom's mountain and river genealogy, is actually strictly forbidden.
The Yin Temple, considering the size of the small temple, can already be said to be at its peak of incense.
The young man in white clothes suddenly said: "Yu Lu, when you encounter a temple or an ancestral hall, you should pay homage. This is a good deed to connect with the mountains and rivers."
Although Yu Lu didn't understand the reason, he bowed his head symbolically and bowed three times.
The girl thanked her and stood outside the door, with the bamboo flute already tied around her waist.
After leaving the boundary of Hengshan, the team arrived at a county town in Huangting Kingdom. Fortunately, Chen Pingan and others had seen the majestic scenery of Yefu Pass before, and the Hongzhu Town at the confluence of the three rivers was also prosperous enough. Now, for the Gaocheng City of Foreign World,
The town was already somewhat mentally prepared, but Li Huai was still a little constrained. Even the painted puppets he often held in his hands were secretly hidden back in the small book box.
The household certificate records of Chen Ping'an and others are from Longquan County of the Great Li Dynasty, and the entry procedures were particularly smooth and fast. Although Huang Tingguo's upper state belonged to the Gao family of the Sui Dynasty rather than the Song family of the Great Li Dynasty, as the Great Li annexed the entire country
In the vast territory in the northern part of the continent, the trend of going south is a foregone conclusion. Huang Tingguo has always treated the Dali scribes who went out to study in recent years preferentially, except that they did not enshrine them as living Bodhisattvas passing by. After all, maybe one day Huang Tingguo, this country, will
It became a state of the Great Li Dynasty.
The Lu Dynasty, as the overlord of the northern territory of Aquarius Continent in the past, is now not only shattered, but even the royal family members have been demoted to prisoners and untouchables. The blood-drenched lessons learned from the past are still vivid in our minds.
Before entering the city, Chen Pingan carefully asked the local people what scenic spots were inside and outside the city. Because Chen Pingan hoped that Li Baoping and the others could see as much as possible while ensuring personal safety during this study tour.
Instead of taking a quick tour of famous mountains and rivers, Taoist temples and ancient city ruins, when we finally arrived at Sui Academy, we actually saw nothing, only sleeping in the open air and rushing on the road.
When you enter the city this time, you have to visit the Chenghuang Temple, which is known as the oldest in Huang Ting Kingdom. The murals there depict scenes of the eighteenth level of hell. It is said that it can make people feel as if they are actually there. It is extremely famous.
The group of people asked for directions and walked along a wide street towards the City God's Temple.
There was a sudden commotion behind the crowd. Chen Pingan turned around and was a little shocked. He saw a novel scene that would never appear in the territory of the Great Li Kingdom. He saw a group of young men and women with impressive weapons, about seven or eight people.
Everyone was dressed elegantly, and under the leadership of a white-haired old man, they swaggered through the streets. Some people were riding huge black tigers, some were following behind them a big red snake more than two feet long, and some were carrying a huge paper on their backs.
Ox horn bow.
The busy street, which was originally crowded with people, quickly fled to both sides. Some children who did not know their importance were directly taken away from the street by their parents, half holding hands and half dragging, and hid in the shops on both sides. The big bright red snake, which was not deliberately restrained by its owner,
It shakes its head and tail, and is covered with scarlet armor at the head and tail, making this spiritual pet raised by the immortal on the mountain even more arrogant. It does not move forward in a straight line, but will wander towards the shop from time to time, and occasionally stop.
With his lower body and head held high, he showed off his power to the trembling people in the county and city.
Among them was a timid child who was so frightened by the close gaze of the big snake that he cried loudly. His parents quickly covered his mouth in fright.
The big snake continued to move forward, but suddenly flicked its tail and hit the face of the man who had already breathed a sigh of relief. The man spun several times in the air and fell heavily to the ground. After vomiting a mouthful of blood, he struggled to get up, with a white face.
His wife and children fled in a hurry.
Standing in the distance, Chen Ping'an saw the passers-by around him. Some were gloating, some were trembling, and some were amazed. But no one thought there was anything wrong with the beast's hurtful behavior.
Lin Shou took out the talisman from his sleeve and stood beside Chen Ping'an. Li Baoping and Li Huai stood close to the shop.
The carriage driven by the young man in white, driven by the coachman Yu Lu, also deviated from the original road and stopped near the roadside.
The group of immortal masters on the mountain in the eyes of the people at the foot of Huangtingguo Mountain soon came to Chen Pingan and his group. The old man's lips moved slightly, and then all the young people looked over at them, with provocation and curiosity in their eyes.
Same. However, the owner of the red snake finally gave a soft drink and called the unscrupulous beast to his side. It was obvious that the elders of the sect who were responsible for the experience of going down the mountain had just reminded them that they met their fellow disciples at the foot of the mountain.
The power of the middle man on the mountain should not be too arrogant and unreasonable.
When the old man passed by Chen Ping'an and the others, he smiled in a condescending manner and nodded to the young Lin Shou.
The two parties separated peacefully without any incident.
The young man Cui Han walked out of the carriage, kicked out Xie Xie who was not blocking the road, jumped out of the carriage, and said calmly in a voice that Chen Ping'an could hear: "Everyone outside of Da Li is like this."
After Chen Ping'an saw that the group was far away, some officials with swords came out to maintain order. In fact, it was just a formality to show their faces.
Chen Ping'an asked: "Does the imperial government not care about it?"
Cui Chan smiled and said: "Either you don't want to take care of it, or you don't dare to take care of it, or... you just want to do something for the immortal masters on the mountain."
Chen Pingan turned to look at Li Baoping and Li Huai, and said softly: "Continue on your way."
Cui Chan no longer rode in the carriage, but was sandwiched between the four people and the carriage, walking slowly.
The young man is dressed in white, with cinnabar between his brows, and swaying sleeves, looking like a fairy.
