After Li Er arrived at Old Dragon City, the situation in Old Dragon City became clearer. Although this tenth-level martial artist only showed his face at Chenchen Medicine Shop, it can be regarded as the final word.
Maybe the four major surnames, including the Sun family, are still unknown, but the subsequent development of events is just a matter of steps. The abacus and ledger of Old Dragon City will continue to move north, and the distance has been stationed in
The iron cavalry of the Song Dynasty in the middle of Aquarius Continent will be getting closer and closer.
To this, the Fu family, Fan family and Chenchen Pharmacy are the first to know the answer.
On the day Li Er left, the Fan family came to pay New Year greetings in a big way. They were all acquaintances of Chen Pingan, not to mention the siblings Fan Junmao and Fan Er, as well as Aunt Gui from Guihua Island and her only direct disciple Jin Su.
, the sweet-scented osmanthus lady who initially served Chen Pingan to Daoxuan Mountain, and finally the old Jindan Sword Xiu Mazhi, fed Chen Pingan the sword for a period of time. Aunt Gui could hardly land ashore, and Osmanthus Island traveled between Laolongcheng and Laolongcheng twice a year.
Hanging upside down on the mountain, even many old people in the Fan family ancestral hall have never seen her once in their lives.
In Zhu Lian's eyes, the old man from a foreign country who "study very well" originally thought that today would be another boring day and he would not even see the woman surnamed Sui. He never expected to see so many women at once, sitting in front of the drug store.
The old man who ate melon seeds could hardly have said that he was a clerk at Chenchen Pharmacy. He was busy and very attentive. After crossing the threshold of the shop, Aunt Gui glanced at the strange old man. The old man happened to look at her, and Aunt Gui pressed
He was confused in his heart and smiled slightly. The old man thought that although this lady has a charming appearance, she has a gentle temperament. She is really the first choice for ordinary men to marry home as a husband and raise children. No wonder Jiang Shangzhen’s eldest son, who only cares about having children but not raising them, wants to take the family title.
The name of the family came to pressure her, and she hoped to buy Guihua Island, a cross-continental ferry with the Fan family, that had opened up a mature route on the Hanging Mountain.
However, Aunt Gui failed to discern the depth of the old man's background. She only vaguely felt that the old man's body was "stainless, his energy was light, and his spirit was full." If he was an earthly immortal now, he would definitely have the talent to reach the upper five realms in the future.
After all, among earthly immortals, there are also high and low, and there are also differences in heaven and earth.
Chen Pingan ran out all the way to greet Aunt Gui. For this elder, Chen Pingan has always been grateful, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Gui's identity and cultivation.
That time when he was riding Osmanthus Island to Daoxuan Mountain and passing through Jiaolonggou, he encountered a catastrophe. Chen Ping'an entered a state of emptiness and clarity for a moment. It was like Buddhism pervading the minds of all sentient beings. Chen Ping'an was caught off guard and felt as if the world was almost empty.
It was all malicious, and I spent some time depressed in the courtyard. After that, when I think of Osmanthus Island, there are only two touches of warmth. One is the painter of the Fan family who helped Chen Pingan paint three paintings, and the other is the painter who has read all kinds of things in the world.
, Aunt Gui, who is always in a peaceful mood.
Fan Er pretended to go to Zheng Dafeng's residence, but found that the exquisite portrait was not hanging on the wall.
Chen Ping'an and Aunt Gui were sitting outside in the lobby chatting.
In the room, Zheng Dafeng coughed and said calmly: "Recharge your energy, cultivate your moral character... In the future, you should do less such immoral things."
At first, Fan Er felt that his tone was very similar to Mr. Fan's. The more he listened, the more strange it became. Fan Er immediately became annoyed and regretted: "It's also my fault that the painter misunderstood my meaning without permission. My original intention was a gentle lady. What a gentleman."
"Since you admire Fairy Sui wholeheartedly, I, as a disciple, had to do something, so I told the painter about Fairy Sui's divine appearance and asked him to make a splash-ink freehand portrait..."
Zheng Dafeng was very pleased that this disciple had finally left the profession.
Sui Youyou stood at the door at some point, with a sneer on his face, "This painter from the Fan family is really a master of painting. He can paint so vividly with just a few words from Mr. Fan."
Jin Su, who had always been silent, frowned.
Although she has no male-female love for Fan Er, Fan Er is the "best candidate" for the future head of the Fan family after all. Now Osmanthus Island has actually been recorded in Fan Er's name. According to Chen Pingan, this female martial artist with a sword on her back
, is one of his disciples. To put it nicely, it means that the family worships the guest, and to put it badly, it means that he is a bodyguard. But now that the situation in Old Dragon City is changing, Aunt Gui told her to be careful in her words and deeds. Although the woman surnamed Sui did not respect Fan Er, Jin
Su was a little dissatisfied, but still didn't say anything. Today's New Year greetings meant that she had no place to speak. Jin Su knew this very well, even though she was the only disciple of "Mrs. Gui", one of the Earthly Immortals of Old Dragon City.
Jin Su paid more attention to Chen Ping'an.
After three days of separation, I treated each other with admiration, probably because this guy was no longer the young boy who loved to drink. His earthiness and childishness had all faded away, and instead, there was a kind of... calmness.
There is a white jade hairpin in her bun, and she is wearing a snow-white robe, with a familiar vermilion wine bottle at her waist. She is quite a bit taller, and her sitting posture is extremely upright. When talking to others, she likes to look at each other, with a look in her eyes.
There will be a sincere smile without any perfunctory meaning.
Then Jin Su also found a small black charcoal pestle next to Chen Ping'an. This skinny little girl had huge eyes that turned very fast. She secretly looked at Jin Su, and even at her master, Mrs. Gui.
Jin Su smiled at her.
Pei Qianbian also grinned at her.
In Pei Qian's eyes, these pretty sisters, from Yao Jinzhi to Sui Youyou to the one in front of him, are all big money bags. I heard Zheng Dafeng say that there is a gadget in the world called a money mover.
, is one of the ghostly creatures, and Pei Qian feels that it looks a lot like him.
As expected, Jinsu arrived in a hurry, without any new year's money, and she didn't expect to meet such a little girl. However, Mrs. Gui had prepared a small sachet with exquisite embroidery. It was not simple at first glance. The sachet itself
Not only does it exude strands of snow-white aura, but it also exudes bits and pieces of tender green light, which is fragrant and pleasant. Chen Pingan roughly guessed that it was the natal osmanthus leaf of the ancestral osmanthus tree on Osmanthus Island, so how could he dare to collect it, Pei Qian
Nowadays, he is very good at observing people's behavior. When he saw that Chen Ping'an was not willing to accept the new year's money, he had no choice but to giggle and shake his head.
Mrs. Gui insisted on giving Pei Qian as a meeting gift, but Chen Pingan couldn't resist, so she had to let Pei Qian accept it. Naturally, he would keep it for him. Pei Qian did not need Chen Pingan to say anything. After receiving the sachet with both hands respectfully, he bowed to express his thanks and began to say
He made some happy words to please Mrs. Gui, such as wishing Mrs. Gui happiness, longevity, health and eternal youth. Mrs. Gui found it helpful. She rubbed Pei Qian’s little head and said that your master Chen Ping’an already has a building on Guihua Island.
In the house under his name, there is also a small villa called "Toad Palace" on the ferry, so I might as well give it to you.
Pei Qian's eyes widened, he was really frightened. Why, all the ladies in the world are so generous in giving gifts, and they will give them to someone's house as soon as they meet? Could it be that all the women in the world are older, so...
Becoming more and more generous?
Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said: "Aunt Gui, I really can't take over this house, no way."
Mrs. Gui glared, "Does it have anything to do with you if I give Pei Qian a house?"
Chen Pingan coughed and said, "Pei Qian."
Pei Qian immediately straightened his back and said in a childish voice: "Once you are a teacher, you are always a father. You dare not disobey your teacher's orders, otherwise it would be unjust and unfilial."
Mrs. Gui found it interesting, glanced at Chen Ping'an, and asked with a smile: "Did you teach me this?"
Chen Pingan felt ashamed, "Maybe she was asked to read and copy words every day, and she learned by herself from books, right?"
Pei Qian slipped his beard and flattered him: "Master taught me well!"
Chen Ping'an smiled and knocked down the chestnut.
Pei Qian held his head, looking aggrieved and confused.
After sending Mrs. Gui and her party away from the alley, Chen Ping'an and Jindan old sword Xiu Ma Zhi walked side by side on the last road. They asked the Fan family for some advice on sword raising and sword refining techniques, and Ma Zhi naturally
Be honest and honest.
The ninth day of the first lunar month.
There is a custom in Laolongcheng called Tiangongsheng. Every household needs to prepare flowers, candles, vegetarian dishes, and pray to heaven in places where the head is not covered, such as courtyards, patios, and street corners.
However, there are no people from Old Longcheng in Chenchen Pharmacy, but Zheng Dafeng is even more particular than the people in Old Longcheng. The man who doesn’t even pay much attention to the Chinese New Year personally prepares flowers, candles, melons and fruits, and cooks vegetarian dishes in the backyard patio.
Three incense tables, high and low, were set up. Finally, three sticks of incense were lit, and the ceremony of three kneels and nine bows was performed. These specifications were smaller than those of monarchs in secular dynasties, but much larger than those of ordinary people who worshiped heaven.
.
The Yin God of the Zhao family even stood with its hands tied and a respectful expression. It did not burn incense and offer incense, but it knelt down and paid homage in a meticulous manner.
Pei Qian squatted under the eaves and watched with great interest. Chen Pingan took one look and didn't look at it again. In fact, this already involved the secrets of Zheng Dafeng and Yin Shen, but Zheng Dafeng didn't hide it himself, so Chen Pingan just pretended that he didn't see it.
After going to the counter and continuing to be the temporary shopkeeper and accountant, Chen Ping'an was fully prepared and would soon go to Yunhai to officially refine the watermark.
As for which semi-immortal weapon Fu Qi will come up with, it is worth looking forward to.
In the final analysis, it was Du Mao and Tongye Sect who had caused trouble for Emperor Dali this time. The latter was determined to move all forces north in Old Dragon City, and Chen Ping'an and Zheng Dafeng would not take the initiative to provoke them.
It's just that the Great Li Dynasty obviously underestimated the cost of a great monk in the Ascension Realm, the cost of leaving the mountain in violation of regulations, and the rewards he wanted to get. Therefore, no matter how much gold and copper coins the Emperor of Great Li gave, Chen Ping'an would only receive too little.
Not too much.
The first bag of gold and copper coins presented by Zheng Dafeng had all been "eaten into the stomach" by Jin Li's robe. The robe was embroidered with a golden dragon in the center, and the "Li Pearl" of unknown material it held contained spiritual energy.
It is becoming more and more abundant. Not only has it been repaired like new, but the quality of this robe has also improved. According to Zhao Yin Shen, as long as he keeps eating gold essence and copper coins, this golden wine can definitely become a semi-immortal weapon robe.
.
Chen Ping'an was not very happy. On the one hand, he felt sorry for the hard-earned gold and copper coins. On the other hand, Zheng Dafeng had long said that once he reached the third realm of martial arts and refining the gods, he would travel far away and reach the top of the mountain.
External objects will become more and more useless, or even become a burden.
The tenth day of the first lunar month.
Laolongcheng also has a folk name of "Shi Fudong", and there is also an allusion of a mouse marrying a girl.
Although Pei Qian is very afraid of ghosts, he likes to hear these things the most.
Pei Qian has learned to copy books early every day and no longer delays it until before going to bed. This probably has something to do with Chen Pingan staring at her copying books every day.
While taking a break while copying books today, Pei Qian suddenly asked Chen Ping'an a question. He said that the book advises people not to eat fish in March, and advises people not to hunt birds in spring. Does that mean that fishing will no longer be possible in spring?
Chen Pingan did not give an answer at that time. He smiled and asked Pei Qian to finish copying the book first. After Pei Qian finished writing the last word, Chen Pingan, who had been silently brewing for a long time, told Pei Qian that this was a very persuasive sentence, but
When a person still needs to work hard to survive, he should not care about these things, and never care about them. But if a person has no worries about food and clothing, believes in Buddhism, and has a compassionate heart, then he can do it.
But if you see other people catching fish and birds in the spring to feed themselves when they are hungry, and you run to tell them this, it is wrong. You don’t even have compassion for people. How can you have compassion for the bad things in the world?
Heart? So in the final analysis, the truth is still the same, but things can come first.
Pei Qian nodded and said that she probably understood.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If you don't understand, you just don't understand. Keep it in your mind first and think about it slowly."
Pei Qian laughed out loud, "I just lied to people, but I didn't understand it yet."
So in the first month of the year, Pei Qian ate another chestnut.
On this day, the dusty medicine shop was still cloudy and breezy, and Pei Qian was watching Chen Ping'an practicing six-step walking in the yard.
Chen Pingan suddenly stopped, called Pei Qian to the front shop, and asked Yin Shen named Zhao to help isolate a small world.
Only then did he begin to teach Pei Qian the formula of the Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi, its operation path, and the most exquisite rapid and slow transitions. Then he took out a drawing, and Chen Ping'an densely drew the names of the acupoints of the human body's Qi Palace on it, one by one.
Pei Qian pointed over.
This is A Liang’s modified sword energy formula.
Among the young sword cultivators on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, only a handful of them, including Ning Yao, learned the Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi that A Liang had perfected.
Since Pei Qian can't bear the hardship of practicing martial arts, let's try this path that is not too hard on the body and only depends on the level of swordsmanship talent. Whether she can go. As for how far she can go, Chen Ping'an has no extravagant expectations.
Pei Qian's memory is even better than that of Chen Ping'an, and the four people in Picture Scroll have already learned this.
So after Chen Ping'an taught him twice and explained all the precautions, he asked Pei Qian to take the picture and study it by himself.
In the evening of that day, Pei Qian felt very guilty and went to Chen Pingan, saying that she was indeed a little stupid. For such trivial matters, she had practiced for so long before she could reach the third stop of her sword energy. If she wanted to move forward, she would
Can't do it anymore.
Chen Ping'an shook his head again and lectured with a straight face: "When learning something, don't aim too high, but be down-to-earth!"
Pei Qian yelled, ran back to his house, and continued to "play with fire."
She has been able to control the movement of that small stream of fire. It can go wherever you want it to go. It runs very fast in those so-called acupoints and meridians, and it is very clever. The fourth stop of the sword energy is temporarily impossible, but she can't do it for the time being.
If you don’t want to stay here, you will have a place to stay, so go somewhere else to play!
She didn't know that Chen Pingan was in the front shop, alone, talking about it for a long time.
The eleventh day of the first lunar month.
A rare visitor came to the dusty drug store.
Taipingshan Women's Crown Huang Ting.
As a result, when she saw an old man from a foreign country squatting at the door and eating melon seeds with two libertines, she was stunned on the spot.
The old man winked at her hard.
Huang Ting stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. You, an old master of the Immortal Realm of Yugui Sect, why are you joining in the fun here?
Huang Ting had to pretend not to recognize the old man.
In terms of seniority, the person squatting at the door is half taller than the Lao Tianjun in Taiping Mountain where she is, and is about the same seniority as Du Mao, who is in the Ascension Realm of Tongye Sect.
In terms of cultivation, now there are no bones left of Du Mao, the avenue has collapsed, and it is hard to say whether there is any soul left. The old man in front of him, as the most powerful immortal in Tongyezhou, Yu Guizong has inexplicably become Tongye without doing anything.
The greatest immortal family in Yezhou, the status of the old man has increased even more.
What an old man who knows how to lie down and enjoy himself.
Huang Ting's impression of this senior on the mountain was neither bad nor very good. After all, his temperament was very different.
Seeing Chen Ping'an who was greatly surprised, Huang Ting said bluntly: "With clues and some intuition, I have found an ancient palace deep in the earth's veins. Following the route, I stood on the dragon-locking platform.
But the old beast who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors was still nowhere to be found. It seemed as if he had completely disappeared from the world. Later, the sect leader Feijian sent a message and said there was no need to look for it. He hurriedly returned to the master and then received the piece you mentioned.
The Jade Tablet passed down from the Ancestral Hall, Lao Tianjun and Dafu Academy, as well as a monk from the Yin Yang Family, came to the conclusion that the chaos in the central part of Tongye Continent was caused by the Nascent Soul monk who died while carrying the Taoist crown in Taiping Mountain.
, we in Taipingshan are naturally ashamed and ashamed of this. God has no face to see anyone, so he asked me to come to Laolongcheng. I hope I can find and beat you in time. Nothing else, I just want to apologize to you.
, After all, Taipingshan's vitality is severely damaged now, and he really can't afford to make a fool of himself. Well, in fact, God intends to give some compensation, so he just wanted to stop me. Chen Ping'an, if you want to scold me, just scold me. Don't blame me.
Taipingshan is dishonest and petty. In the past, this would never have been the way he acted."
Huang Ting said this with a rare bitterness, and said: "The demons in the prison escaped in all directions, and my fellow disciples went down the mountain to slay the demons. This battle was really miserable."
Chen Pingan felt heavy and nodded: "I can imagine it."
Huang Ting suddenly laughed and said: "Tongyezhou has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. He provoked a swordsman and cut off Du Mao's path to ascension. Within a few days, there was a ten-level warrior who fought all the way from the foot of the mountain.
On the top of the Ancestral Mountain, the Ancestral Hall was demolished. From the beginning to the end, except for the offensive of a few Jade Pu Realm monks from the Jade Gui Sect, all the other middle five monks, including that man, stood still, casually
They threw it on me, scratching it, and I was very happy to see it. Jiang Shangzhen of Yugui Sect was even happier. He directly built a loft ferry and hovered over Tongye Sect, held a banquet and entertained guests from all directions. "
Chen Pingan quickly drank a sip of wine to calm down his shock.
Zheng Dafeng, Zhu Lian and the old man from outside the country on the side listened to the news and glanced at Huang Ting.
In terms of beauty, the female crown Huang Ting who returned to the vast world in the skin of an immortal who was banished to the land of lotus flowers is more outstanding than those on the right side of the Sui Dynasty, Fan Junmao and Jin Su.
Chen Pingan asked Huang Ting about her future plans. She said that she originally wanted to visit the Middle-earth Divine Continent, but the Lord Tianjun refused to agree, saying that if she dared to go, he would dare to hang herself, as long as she stayed in Aquarius Continent and Beiju.
Choose one of the Luzhous. Huang Ting spoke frankly and told Chen Pingan that she felt that Aquarius Island was too small and there were so many swordsmen in Juluzhou. She just went to sharpen her swords, and maybe she would be able to join the Jade Pu Realm.
The emergence of sword cultivators in Wei and Jin from a small place like Aquarius Continent caused all the sword cultivators in Tongye Continent to lose face.
Huang Ting acted vigorously and resolutely. After talking about the matter, he prepared to go north with his sword.
But he accidentally saw Pei Qian practicing peerless swordsmanship in the yard. Huang Ting felt unhappy when he thought that he still owed Chen Pingan. After learning that Pei Qian was Chen Pingan's "first disciple", he asked the little girl
Do you want to learn Tongyezhou's fastest swordsmanship and knife skills?
Pei Qian asked back if it hurt.
Huang Ting laughed and said it didn't hurt.
Pei Qian turned to look at Chen Pingan, who smiled and nodded.
Huang Ting stayed for one more day and taught Pei Qian a set of sword skills and a sword technique.
The white ape's back sword technique, the white ape's dragging sword technique.
Before leaving, Huang Ting patted Pei Qian's little head, then stretched out his fingers to pinch the little girl's cheek, shook his head and said regretfully: "What a smart kid, why is he so unattractive?"
As a result, Pei Qian was extremely sad.
I have been depressed all day long, and even with the yellow paper talisman on my forehead, I am still listless.
When Chen Ping'an looked at Pei Qian like this, he thought of the little girl in a red cotton coat who liked to call him his junior uncle.
————
In the eyes of everyone at Cliff Academy, the little girl in the red cotton coat is a bit strange. She lives alone every day. She likes to carry a small bamboo box and go to the school alone. After leaving the school, she is still alone, climbing mountains, trees, roofs, and climbing.
Climb down, or she would squat alone by the lake and stare at the fish, watching them swim around with their tails swung. Whenever she got the chance, she would leave the academy and go wandering around the streets and alleys of the capital.
Go, the little girl is always alone in and outside the academy. Others seem to feel a little lonely after watching her for a long time.
But the strange thing is that the little girl is very polite. Whenever she sees the masters and gentlemen from the academy on the road, she will always stop suddenly, bow and salute to say hello, and then run away with lightning speed.
At first, the masters would stop, smile and say a few words of instruction, but the red figure was no longer there. Later, they got used to it and responded with a smile. Finally, they shook their heads with a smile and kept walking.
Move on.
Li Baoping felt that his life at Cliff Academy was just fine.
Although I rarely see Li Huai and Lin Shouyi anymore. I also rarely see Yu Lu and Xie Xie. Even if I do, there seems to be nothing to talk about.
After she talked with Cui Dongshan on the branch on the mountain top, she no longer took these things so seriously.
They don't miss her junior uncle so much anymore, it doesn't matter, she can just make up for their share, and she will think about her junior uncle more by herself.
The days go by like this day by day, the New Year is over, and even the first month is almost over.
Soon it will be the Lantern Festival when the red lanterns are hung high. The little girl is a little homesick for her parents, grandparents, and older brothers.
Of course, there is also my junior uncle.
Junior Junior Uncle hasn't sent a letter to the academy for a long time.
