(This month's update is only guaranteed to reach 120,000 words, which is no less than the first month that Jianlai uploaded, which means that on average, it is about 4,000 words per day. The number of leave requests will definitely be more, please forgive me.)
It was a quiet night at the inn.
Chen Ping'an lived alone in the room at the end of the corridor. Before falling asleep, he practiced six-step walking and sword furnace standing for an hour each. Finally, he took out the porcelain bowl with the true shape of the Five Mountains and the ebony burnt like charcoal.
, turned it over and over, and studied it carefully for a long time, but couldn't find any clues.
Hoping that the two things would be worth one or two hundred snow coins, Chen Pingan put away the heavy ebony, poured the local roasted spirits from the sword-raising gourd into a small white bowl, and then looked through the two gifts given to him by Liu Gaohua under the lamp.
This landscape travelogue is quite enjoyable if you take a few sips from time to time.
After turning off the lights and going to bed, Chen Pingan closed his eyes and began to reminisce about the fight with Ma Kuxuan in the small street. He reflected on the pros and cons of each punch, the few boxing techniques taught by the barefoot old man, how Chen Pingan dared to hide his secrets at that time, and the battle was so smooth.
The line between life and death is always on the line, so I have to spend all my money, and invisibly gain a deeper understanding of the boxing techniques including the iron cavalry formation. The most regrettable thing is that the god's drumming style can only hit fifteen punches, which intuitively tells Chen
Ping An, if he were allowed to punch twenty punches in one breath, just like the ancient house dealing with the tree demon scholar wearing armor of armor, Ma Kuxuan would most likely give in early.
However, after much thought, Chen Pingan felt that letting Ma Kuxuan think he had narrowly won was the best choice at the time.
However, with this proud man of Zhenwu Mountain, Chen Pingan was barely able to draw a tie. In fact, Chen Ping'an didn't have many feelings other than victory or defeat. Firstly, he didn't know the significance of Ma Kuxuan's breaking through three realms in one year. Secondly, Ma Ku
Xuan hates Chen Ping'an from Mu Ping Alley, and Chen Ping'an hates his peers from Xinghua Alley.
People really care about fate. Some people will fall in love with them at a glance, just like the sunshine in the cold spring and winter, such as Mr. Qi, Li Xisheng and Zhang Shanfeng;
The head, no matter how you look at it, is dazzling, just like Ma Kuxuan, Fu Nanhua from Old Dragon City, and Mrs. Xu from Qingfeng City.
Chen Ping'an's thought at the moment before he fell asleep was that the Shenren Drumming Style must be his most popular boxing move at the moment. But he didn't know if he could punch fifty or a hundred punches in one go, would a whole river be wiped out?
Cut it in half and carve out a road? Will a canyon be forcibly carved out of a huge mountain?
At dawn, Chen Pingan got up and practiced six-step walking in the house. Not long after, he found someone reciting in a courtyard with a rockery and green trees. It was the scholar named Liu, who had the style of studying hard in a cold window.
The cadences and ups and downs of the reading are all the teachings of the saints.
Chen Pingan continued to practice boxing, and as expected, soon the guests from various rooms in the inn began to curse. Some of the grumpy gangsters simply jumped out of the bed naked, took the drinks and dishes from the table and pushed them away.
As soon as the window came to him, he smashed it down. There was a lot of panic, and the scholar named Liu also got angry. He jumped around and dodged, and read the sages' classics louder and louder. This aroused the anger of the people, and many people covered him with their quilts.
The guest, who had no use for his brain, cursed, got dressed, and began to interact with the eighteenth generation of the scholar surnamed Liu at the window.
The chicken is flying and the dog is jumping.
After burning the incense, Chen Ping'an and the bearded man were sitting in Zhang Shanfeng's house. The young Taoist priest was helping the scholar surnamed Liu bandage his head.
The innkeeper just walked out with a dark face, gnashing his teeth in anger. He couldn't beat or scold such a bastard guest who couldn't carry anything. After all, he was an honored guest brought by the son of the county governor. It was really frustrating for a mute to eat Coptis chinensis. Question
The identities of the people staying in this inn are not simple. They are either wealthy businessmen from various places or heroes from all walks of life. They are all dragons who cannot be underestimated. If this scholar is given such a toss so early in the morning, how will his business be done in the future?
Do you want to be a repeat customer?
The scholar surnamed Liu is Liu Chicheng, a native of Baishan. When the scholar introduced his hometown, he emphasized the six words "near Guanhu Academy", as if this was more glorious than the prefix of the Chen family in Longweixi.
After that, they had nothing to do in the inn. Liu Chicheng still sneaked out. Needless to say, he also had a tryst with Liu Gaohua's sister for a spring outing. The bearded man took Chen Ping'an and Zhang Shanfeng to the scenic spots in the county. Wenwu Temple was a must-see.
We were also going to the Chenghuang Pavilion gathering in Rouge County. When we came back, Xu Yuanxia's brows were a bit gloomy. When Zhang Shanfeng asked about it, he just said that it was just a long journey.
This time when we disembarked from the ferry at Nanjian State and headed south, Taoist Zhang Shanfeng was going to Laolong City. Along with Chen Pingan, the bearded man was going to Qingluan State in the southeast of Aquarius Continent, as if he was escorting a friend.
Dongxi, that friend is an acquaintance in the Jianghu, and they are very close to each other. They are traveling together for the time being. As for when the two parties will part ways, it will depend on the direction of the ferry at the next Xianjia Ferry.
After waiting for three full days in Rouge County, she did not wait for the old and young immortal masters from Shengaozong who came down the mountain to practice. Instead, they waited for the old woman in the ancient house. She found the county governor's mansion all the way and met Liu Gaohua, who then led the way.
When I came to the inn, I reported the good news to everyone. It turned out that for some reason, the landscape and luck around the ancient house seemed to have turned upside down, and the dirty air had all been replaced by pure and spiritual air. Now the hostess is not only free from future troubles, she doesn't have to worry.
After being transformed into an evil ghost, his body and skin began to heal. After giving Yang Huang the identity of a demon, the male protagonist also began to warm up his soul. His level gradually increased, and there was even a glimmer of hope of breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the fifth level. It was really a good thing.
Continuously.
As for the reason, the old woman only said that she speculated that a certain ancestor of the Shengaozong secretly took action.
The bearded man and the young Taoist priest felt that there was really no other reason.
Chen Pingan listened from beginning to end. Although he was very upset, his expression remained as usual.
Before leaving, the old woman said she was helping Chen Pingan carry a jar of good wine bought on the road. The two returned to Chen Pingan's room. As soon as Chen Pingan closed the door, the tearful old woman was about to kneel down, which frightened Chen Pingan and hurriedly
He supported the old woman, even if he was alive or dead. Because Chen Pingan deliberately leaked the secret when he was filling the gourd with wine in the kitchen, it was not surprising that the old woman knew some inside information and made some speculations.
The old woman didn't ask any more questions, and Chen Pingan didn't say much.
The old woman just took out a package of things wrapped in silk before leaving, carefully placed it on the table, and explained softly: "The golden body of the mountain god named Qin was completely shattered, and this scourge will no longer exist in the world.
The presence of gods in the mountains and rivers is of course a great blessing. My husband hurried after hearing the news. Before the arrival of the immortal masters of the Shengaozong, he secretly picked up most of the golden body fragments of the mountain god named Qin, totaling eight pieces in size.
Piece, according to the master, there shouldn’t be so many golden body relics of a mountain god from the Temple of Obscenity. I think Qin also had some weird opportunities during his lifetime. In any case, these golden body fragments are good things, and they are hard to come by.
, even the secret treasury of a country's imperial court may not contain many treasures. Mr. Chen just accepts it, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the three of us, master and servant."
At this point, the old woman's eyes turned red again, "In fact, the young master's great kindness cannot be repaid with a few golden body fragments, but the house really has no wealth now, so my wife set up a memorial tablet for Mr. Chen.
I implore you, sir, whenever you pass by Caiyi Country in the future, you must go and sit in the house..."
Chen Pingan could only nod.
The old woman finally whispered: "Madam is now equivalent to half of the god of the temple of obscenity. Looking at the weather in Rouge County from a distance, I found that in the past two days, there were always wisps of Yin Qi rising up in the city every night, which made Madam uneasy. I still hope."
Young Master, please leave the city as soon as possible. No matter how powerful the Young Master is, I often say that on the way to practice, be careful and don’t get involved in everything. Even if there are mishaps every time, it will inevitably delay your practice, which is always not good.
"
Chen Pingan agreed without hesitation.
After sending the old woman to the door of the inn, the old woman smiled and said, "I hope the young master's journey will go well and be safe."
From the beginning to the end, the old woman never looked at the vermilion wine gourd on Chen Pingan's waist.
Chen Pingan watched the old woman disappear into the crowd, turned around and trotted back to the bearded man's house, calling Zhang Shanfeng. Chen Pingan told the old woman that she noticed the strange weather in Rouge County City, and gave a general explanation. The man held the handle of the knife at his waist,
He nodded and said: "This is also what I am most worried about. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you two young people would get angry and insist on wading in this muddy water. If it is really a demon, you dare to openly commit crimes in the county city, and you will not treat the city god at all.
The three gods, including the Pavilion and Wen Mo Temple, must be great demons in their eyes. With the conduct of the three of you and me, it is impossible to say that even a tooth beating sacrifice would not be enough to fill the gaps between people's teeth. However, in a country with such a large territory,
There are often hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are even more masters sitting in charge. If we really want to fight and occupy the right time and place, we may not have no chance of winning. In the end, it still depends on the relationship between the Caiyi Kingdom and the mountain."
Chen Pingan asked: "How far are the nearest river gods and mountain gods from Rouge County? If something really happens, can they get there as soon as possible?"
The bearded man thought for a while and calculated, "The water god is three hundred miles away from here, and the Nanyue Zhengshen is about seven hundred miles away. However, the mountain gods of Caiyi Kingdom are not very high in cultivation. After all, the territory is too small.
It is far inferior to those vast dynasties, and I am afraid that it will be the Dongfu Realm among the Middle Five Realms."
Zhang Shanfeng frowned and said: "Then once you leave the mountain realm, wouldn't your combat power be equivalent to that of a Qi practitioner in the fifth realm?"
Xu Yuanxia said helplessly: "The rules of heaven and earth are like this, there is nothing we can do about it."
Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Can you please inform Liu Gaohua's father? He is the prefect of the county. General Ma, who was stationed near the county before, seems to be a practitioner. If we had made preparations in advance, we might not have been able to let the people lurking in the dark
The demons and evil spirits retreated when they saw the difficulty."
Xu Yuanxia sighed, "It's not that I'm scaring you, and it's definitely not that I, Xu, am greedy for life and afraid of death. This matter is very difficult, not to mention that the county and city will definitely not believe it, even if the prefect and general believe it, they are willing to risk it."
With the huge risk of lying about military information and being stripped of his official title afterwards, he quickly informed the court. Do you know that from the news in the county to the capital of Caiyi State, to the review of the six yamen, the decision of the imperial study room, and finally to
The imperial court issued an imperial edict and secretly ordered the gods of mountains and rivers to rescue the county. How long will it take during this period? Taking a step back, after the edict was issued, the nearby mountain qigong practitioners and the gods of mountains and rivers all left their territory and came. Once there was any trouble, the county
If the city is surrendered to demons with profound Taoism, they will take action in advance, plunder a large amount of money, and then leave in a hurry. Then in the end, who will be the one to settle the accounts after the fall?"
Xu Yuanxia pointed at the young Taoist priest and the wooden box boy, "Do you believe that the three of us will be regarded as accomplices who are colluding with the devil? The person who exposed and impeached us was either Governor Liu or General Ma, or even worse.
It turned out that the demon had another plan from the beginning, and wanted to divert the tiger away from the mountain. When the situation is calm here, a certain immortal sect, or a large city in other states, counties, and cities will be turned upside down. I am afraid that the three of us will not need anyone else.
If you expose him, he will become a thief who will be killed without mercy by Caiyi Country on the spot."
Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng looked blank and couldn't believe it.
Xu Yuanxia poured a glass of wine and said with emotion: "Don't think I am being alarmist. I have not only seen such things that make people cry without tears, but also experienced them personally. Several friends died due to 'good intentions'."
The word above..."
Xu Yuanxia pointed to the baggage not far away and said calmly: "I won't go into details. Anyway, of the four friends, only Xu Yuanxia survived in the end. One of them even lost his body. The other two were still able to let me help.
I collected the body, and of the two urns, one has been given to his family, and there is one left, which is the reason why I went to Qingluan Kingdom this time."
No wonder the bearded man in the old house told Zhang Shanfeng and Chen Ping'an to leave quickly twice.
Chen Pingan suddenly asked a question, "Xu Daxia, do you regret that choice?"
The man lowered his head and took a sip of wine. When he raised his head, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't know, the dead people, but the living ones are almost regretting it to death."
To be continued...
