Today, the area around Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake is calm and quiet, and the lake surface is like a mirror. It is surrounded by some large and small vassal islands and green mountains. There are occasionally a few cranes singing from the Xian family mansion, and from time to time there are one or two streaks in the sky in the distance.
Rainbow light passed by, and there was a faint rumble of thunder.
Pleasant scenery and fairy cave.
Senior Sister Tian Hujun wore a bright red half-sleeved shirt with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread. She walked slowly, holding a stack of files in her hand, to the room near the gate of Qingxia Island. Along the way, she met Tian Hujun's
All the monks stepped aside and saluted this beautiful monk.
Tian Hujun never made any response.
She is now a hot and powerful figure in Qingxia Island. In the past few years, the strength of Qingxia Island has greatly increased. Tian Hujun followed his master Liu Zhimao and his junior brother Gu Can to fight everywhere. Not only did he sharpen his cultivation through continuous bloody battles, but also received dividends afterwards.
The harvest was extremely rich, and Liu Zhimao's reward allowed Tian Hujun to successfully become a Jindan Immortal at the end of last autumn. At that time, Qingxia Island held a grand banquet to celebrate Tian Hujun becoming a Jindan guest and becoming an immortal.
Tian Hujun came to the door of the room, knocked on the door, and saw the young man sitting behind the desk, raising his head and looking at him.
A young man with a hairpin in his hair, wearing a blue shirt and a long coat. There was a vermilion wine gourd beside the table. But after coming here many times, Mr. Tian Hu, who is a golden elixir immortal, could see some clues. The wine gourd was not simple.
, most of it is an object used as a cover-up for the master. Something worthy of such a cover-up by the great monk must be a genuine high-grade magic weapon, such as a sword-raising gourd.
Tian Hujun had a private conversation with his master Liu Zhimao. Regarding the wine pot, Liu Zhimao's answer confirmed Tian Hujun's guess that it was a top-grade sword-raising gourd.
But what made Tian Hujun's heart palpitate even more was not the sword gourd that the young man used as a wine flask, but the long sword left in the house next door to his junior brother Gu Can's residence. Liu Zhimao asserted that it was an unruly sword.
A tame half-immortal soldier.
Liu Zhimao asked Mr. Tian Hu to restrain all the monks on Qingxia Island during the recent period. At least before Chen Ping'an left Shujian Lake, they should not act as he pleased as usual.
That was the first time Tian Hujun felt a strange thing called "restraint" from his master Liu Zhimao.
Entering the room, the young man had already stood up and took the initiative to move an empty seat on the table.
Mr. Tian Hu gently placed a large pile of long-dusted files on the table and said apologetically: "Mr. Chen, this is the third batch of secret files found from the Qingxia Island incense room. No one has knocked the incense room.
I'm used to living a comfortable life where heaven and earth don't care about it, so it's not well kept and it's infested with insects. I'm sorry, Mr. Chen."
Chen Pingan waved his hand, "I hope Master Tian will not punish Incense House for this matter. Master Tian and Qingxia Island Incense House are helping me. Master Tian, what do you think?"
Tian Hujun originally planned to clean up the three owners of the incense room, but after seeing Chen Ping'an's face and eyes, Tian Hujun immediately gave up the idea, changed his mind, or taught him a lesson in private? Now on the surface of Shujian Lake,
The world is at peace, and the monks on Qingxia Island are accustomed to the bloody storms of the past few years. Recently, they are really busy and bored. Mr. Tianhu, who was a dispensable disciple under Zhenjun Jiejiang, was once visited by a man who was passing by Qingxia Island.
An expert monk of the Yin Yang family, a monk in the Longmen realm who was determined to be a hopeless earthly immortal in this life, jumped up and took charge of the power. With his military exploits, he was able to occupy a snatched Meixian Island alone. This was equivalent to a share in Shujian Lake.
The vassal king whose territory was split has a territory that truly belongs to her Lord Tianhu, and Zhenjun Jiejiang's clear rewards and punishments are the basis for Liu Zhimao to create Qingxia Island's dominant position in Shujianhu. Liu Zhimao is not stingy with rewards.
"Servant ministers", those who are less advanced, or those who surrender, as long as they dare to fight, kill, and risk their lives to make contributions to Qingxia Island, the Qingxia Island Patriarch Hall will always treat them equally with rewards.
Chen Ping'an said: "I may have to go to the person in charge of the incense room later and ask some questions. I'd like to ask Master Tian to help tell them."
Tian Hujun was horrified and immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Chen is too polite. This is Tian Hujun's job, and it is the honor of Incense House."
Chen Pingan remained silent. Seeing that Mr. Tian Hu didn't seem to be leaving, he had no choice but to speak and asked softly: "Master Tian Hu, do you have something to discuss?"
Mr. Tian Hu carefully chose words and sentences in his mind, and after drafting the manuscript, he said: "Master wants me to ask Mr. Chen. Shujian Lake will soon elect a king of the rivers and lakes on Gongliu Island. Will Mr. Chen participate?"
Chen Pingan said: "This is a great situation that your Qingxia Island has finally won, and it is also your Shujian Lake's own business. Naturally, I will not get involved, but I will watch the excitement, right here."
Mr. Tian Hu was relieved. This answer from the accounting clerk in front of him, who confused most of the Qingxia Island monks, was quite satisfactory. Master Liu Zhimao should be able to explain it to him.
Chen Pingan went around the desk and sent Tian Hujun to the door.
Although it happened every time, Tian Hujun actually felt flattered. After Tian Hujun walked away, he thought to himself that Mr. Chen Ping'an, the accountant, was still the same person. Probably because she now knew about the sword-raising gourd and the half-immortal sword.
The reason for the soldiers?
Chen Pingan returned to his desk and began to read through the incense room files one by one.
Name, place of origin, date of birth, teachers, relatives and family.
Many of the names have been erased with a red pen according to the old rules of Qingxia Island Incense House. This is called deletion.
Every time Chen Pingan saw a name that he was looking for, he wrote it down on a blank book at hand that deliberately had no printed text. In addition to their place of birth, there were also the positions these people held on Qingxia Island. Incense
The thickness of the archives of each Qingxia Island monk or handyman is only related to the level of cultivation. The higher the level of cultivation, the more records. The lower the level of cultivation, it is almost just the name and place of birth, nothing more.
Ten words.
There are also many dead people, but in fact they have not even appeared in the incense room files. They died without even a single name being retained.
In addition to going to the incense room, Chen Ping'an asked the people whose names he wrote down about their reputation for dealing with others and the general impressions of others. He also had to follow the clues and learn from the mouths of the monks, mansion stewards and cardigan girls on Qingxia Island.
, ask those names, and write them down in the book one by one. Maybe during this period, just like troubling Mr. Tianhu to go to the incense house, he will trouble some important and powerful figures in Qingxia Island, otherwise Chen Ping'an has already talked about it.
If you don't waste your energy on this, you will waste too much time on the way back and forth.
On Tian Hujun's way to report the matter to Liu Zhimao, he happened to meet his junior brother Gu Can, who was wearing a dragon-sloughing robe.
As for the remaining junior brothers and sisters, including Qin Jue and Chao Che, as well as the ten major guest ministers who live on the twelve major islands including Qingxia, Meixian, and Sulin, these Qingxia Island confidants and capable generals, along with the palace
As the Liudao alliance is approaching, the senior officials of Qingxia Island are not relaxed at all. They need to act as lobbyists under the guise of Zhenjun Jiejiang, just like the strategist, running around to win over alliances, plotting and scheming.
Take advantage of the general trend and use it to its full potential.
Gu Can saw Mr. Tian Hu, who still looked like a young farmer with his hands wrapped in a dark blue python robe. He smiled and said: "Senior sister, I went to see Chen Ping'an again. I would like to kindly remind senior sister, don't do it.
I have an unreasonable thought, thinking about recommending myself to the pillow and climbing into Chen Pingan's bed one day, so that I can taste the feeling of calling you "sister-in-law". Otherwise, when the time comes, I will finish calling you "sister-in-law" and there will be no mention of the friendship between teachers and sects.
Already."
Tian Hujun smiled bitterly and said, "Junior brother, I'm not obsessed with anything. Besides, does Mr. Chen like my beauty?"
Gu Can was a little happy, "No, Chen Ping'an has a high vision. He never set eyes on a girl named Zhigui from his neighbor's house back then. I'm very pleased that you are so self-aware, senior sister."
When chatting with Gu Can, Mr. Tian Hu would lower his body without any trace, and there was no need for Gu Can to raise his head or raise his eyes. After a long time, it would be natural.
Gu Can continued: "Also, regarding the matter of the cardigan girl, you have to help me keep it secret. If others leak it, they are stupid and are seeking death. But the senior sister is such a smart person with a delicate heart and a sweet heart.
If there is any mistake, I will doubt whether the senior sister has ulterior motives. When the time comes, the master could not protect the senior brother then, and he will not be able to protect the senior sister now. But I know that the third senior sister who is naturally charming and likes to get into other people's beds.
She is not very close to Senior Sister, and if it weren’t for her unsightly cultivation aptitude, we would all have to call her Master’s Wife now.”
Tian Hujun's smile was stiff, "Don't you, my junior brother, still know what senior sister is like?"
Gu Can nodded and said: "It is because it is clear that I have to remind Senior Sister. Otherwise, you will lose your life on my side just for the sake of the food between Master's teeth. Senior Sister has no regrets. I, the Junior Brother,
I have taken care of you for so many years, and I must regret it."
Tian Hujun said with a wry smile, "I remember."
Gu Can stretched out a hand and gently patted Tian Hujun's cheek, "Go, master, he is waiting for news from you."
After Tian Hujun left.
Gu Can turned to Little Loach and said, "It's not a problem to call you Little Loach all the time. Come on, I'll go to Chen Ping'an to find a name for you."
The little loach is squirming.
Gu Can smiled and said, "It's not your birth name. Why are you so scared and shy?"
On the way to that room, Gu Can frowned and asked, "What happened in Chen Ping'an's room that night, was it really like what he said, but something went wrong during the Qi refining?"
The little loach shook his head. As a Nascent Soul, it now has a clear understanding of the matter of cultivation and condescendingly looks at the Qi refining of monks in the fifth realm. "It's definitely not that simple. It's only slightly better than being obsessed. The specific reason is hard to say.
Chen Ping'an is a pure martial artist, and he is rebuilding the Changsheng Bridge. He is different from us, so I can't see the truth. But Chen Ping'an was seriously injured that night, and the master also saw it, not only in terms of body and soul.
, state of mind..."
The little loach didn't dare to say any more.
Gu Can stopped and fell silent.
The whole person exuded a suffocating aura.
This feared little devil in Shujian Lake didn’t get to where he is today just by Xiao Niyi and Liu Zhimao.
Gu Can smiled bitterly and said, "Then what do you think we can do to remedy it?"
The little loach with a girlish appearance and skin as white as feathers scratched her head, "Chen Ping'an himself didn't say anything. Master, it's better not to add too much to the problem, right? Master, doesn't he always laugh at those ants who are trapped in a fight between beasts and make many mistakes?"
Gu Can nodded, "That makes sense."
When they arrived at Chen Pingan's small room, Gu Can picked up a small bench and sat on the threshold. He smiled and told Chen Pingan the purpose of his trip. He wanted to help give the little loach a name that would not involve monsters and dragons in the world.
The natal name of the person.
Chen Pingan put down his pen, raised his head, and thought for a moment, "Let's call him Tanxue. Tanxue is in the same furnace and is close to each other, which is especially valuable."
Gu Can nodded vigorously and smiled at the little loach: "How is it?!"
Little Loach said shyly: "It's too elegant. I haven't read the book yet. Will it make people laugh?"
Gu Can sneered: "Whoever dares to laugh at your real name, I will..."
Gu Can quickly closed her mouth and turned her head secretly.
I found that Chen Pingan had picked up the pen again and continued to write with his head down.
Gu Can basked in the warm late autumn sun for a while, lazily, not too comfortable, and almost dozed off.
He was sitting on a small bench. If the sky fell, there would be Chen Pingan sitting behind him on the desk. Gu Can was not afraid.
Gu Can stretched out, turned around and asked, "My mother said she would cook for dinner and make a more authentic home-cooked meal than last time. Are you free?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Thank you to your aunt for me. I'll rush over when it's time for dinner. By the way, tell your aunt that you won't drink anymore."
Gu Can smiled broadly and said, "Okay! I'll be busy then."
When Gu Can put the small bench back in the corner, Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "Tell Tian Hujun that I want to collect the local chronicles of Shujian Lake. In addition to the collection of books on each island, it may also involve Chishui City next to Shujian Lake, as well as
For the counties and counties farther away, I will pay for all expenses, no matter how much fairy money. I remind her again that when making the final quotation, the premium outside the book will be included in the calculation, including the manpower and material resources of Qingxia Island, everything
, let’s discuss it in business. I believe Shujian Lake will be familiar with this.”
Gu Can smiled and said: "It's a small thing! Nowadays, Qingxia has a large group of cunning guys who can only wave flags and shout but do nothing in the twelve islands within Qingxia. They just want to go out and do some serious things."
Chen Pingan looked at Gu Can.
Gu Can thought for a while, "I will make a promise in advance that when doing business in Shangyanshang, I will not dare to buy or sell by force under the banner of Qingxia Island, or do anything illegal."
Chen Pingan said: "If there is an accident, tell me immediately and I will handle it myself."
Gu Can smiled brightly and said: "Don't worry, there will definitely be no accidents. This is Qingxia Island and Shujian Lake. There are many rules, and there are many people who like to break the rules. But if you really break the rules, what kind of price will it cost? People
Everyone has their own accounts in their stomachs, and their doors are clear."
Gu Can took Little Loach to the mountain gate of Qingxia Island.
Gu Can suddenly said: "Little Loach, why do I think Chen Ping'an's last look in his eyes was weird? Were you panicking at that time?"
The little loach timidly said: "A little."
Gu Can swaggered, "Let me just say, Chen Ping'an is suitable to stay in our Shujian Lake. With him here, I am only afraid of him at most, but I can truly be fearless. Who do you think this deal is?"
More profitable? Of course it’s me.”
Little Loach smiled shyly, "Tan Xue thinks it's right."
Gu Can turned his head and saw the little loach lowering his head and twisting the corners of his clothes. Gu Can smiled and scolded: "You are a shameless little girl, you were so polite when you spoke before, now you are so anxious to use your name?
"
Gu Can suddenly cried sadly, "But little loach, we have to take it easy recently. We are not allowed to fight like before. Even if Chen Ping'an has become the accountant, he keeps looking at us."
The little loach patted his belly and said, "I'm not hungry yet."
Gu Can rolled his eyes and said, "I just ate that golden elixir woman. If you cry out that you are hungry again, who should I catch for you? My master?"
The little loach’s eyes sparkled.
Gu Can chuckled, put his hands in his sleeves, and raised his head, "Little Loach, I'm very happy, even happier than killing someone happily."
The little loach follows suit, and has recently learned to "be honest with each other", "Before starving, if the owner is happy, I will be happy too."
Gu Can asked: "What do you think Chen Ping'an is doing?"
Little Loach shook his head and said, "I don't even dare to get close to Chen Ping'an and the bookcase. I don't like to think about things. I don't know."
Gu Can sighed, "It doesn't matter, as long as I can see Chen Ping'an every day, there's nothing left to be dissatisfied about."
————
Inside a high-rise building in Chishui City.
Cui Dongshan has started to stand up recently and often walks around in the golden thunder pond.
Cui Han, on the other hand, began to close his eyes and concentrate. Occasionally, he would be summoned by Feijian, the highest ranking person, who needed him to personally handle some military, political and state affairs related to the trend of Da Li.
Cui Dongshan stood on the edge of the circle, looking down at the two scrolls. One showed the words and deeds of Gu Can and the maid Xiao Nili, and the other showed the scene inside the house of Mr. Chen Ping'an, the accountant.
Cui Dongshan began to comment on Gu Can: "Those with hunched bones will die young, those with exposed bones will not be able to survive, those with horizontal bones will have a fierce spirit, and those with bones like gold and stone will have a hard life. Hey, old bastard, what do you think of this little brat Gu Can?
If you leave Lizhu Cave Heaven and never see Chen Ping'an again, is it possible for you to rely on yourself to become the second upper-level fifth-level monk in Aquarius Continent after Liu Laocheng of Beetail Crossing?"
Cui Chan opened his eyes, nodded and said: "It's very possible. In troubled times, Gu Can is like a fish in water."
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Old bastard, what do you say now? Although my husband's vitality has been severely damaged and the foundation of the road has been damaged, this dead end is not more fatal after all. Are you more disappointed than my husband? Haha,
You tried your best to arrange the four difficulties, but in the end, your husband simply gave up on the matter of his true intention in the third difficulty. Since deep down in his heart, insisting on Gu Can's actions was still wrong, there was no way he could kill Gu Can with one punch, let alone leave him behind.
Gu Can doesn't care, so he must first overcome the hurdle of his own heart, resolutely smash the second natal object that was finally successfully refined, and take this opportunity to not only turn your first dilemma into a joke, my husband
I was able to cut off and delineate again, and chose a path with the least forks. I temporarily put aside feelings and laws, and did not worry about laws and principles. Instead, I started to trace the origins and think about the ins and outs of this path.
, for the first time, my husband began to try to get out of his "wrongless" circle, which is equivalent to breaking down the barrier, no longer being bound by reason, and starting to walk into the big world, and there is no place in the world that he can't go to!"
Cui Chan didn't answer the question, "I heard that you have now picked up the arithmetic that we threw aside back then, and started to study the vein barrier?"
Cui Dongshan laughed and said: "A small success is not worth mentioning. It is not worth mentioning. It cannot compare with the great cause you have planned for the ages, old bastard."
Cui Chan sneered and said: "You can say whatever you want, why are you holding back? Do you think I will beg you to tell you about the new mysteries that I have learned?"
Cui Dongshan rubbed his hands and said: "Since the old bastard tried to beg me in a different way, then I will... just tell you an interesting thing. I believe you will be curious as well. Let me ask you, Cui old bastard, don't you want to know about that upside down trip? During the trip to the mountains, how did my husband pass the test of becoming his future father-in-law and mother-in-law? I can give you a hint that he has some relationship with Gu Can."
Cui Chan said calmly: "Back in Luo Po Mountain Bamboo House, my grandfather mentioned that Chen Ping'an's biggest danger in Hanging Mountain and Sword Qi Great Wall was that he could break through two realms from the fourth realm in one go and directly reach the sixth realm. The pinnacle of martial arts, Chen Pingan, a deep-seated guy, must have thought of this. Judging from the current signs, Chen Pingan can control and release his fists to such an extent. The situation in Lotus Flower Blessed Land may not be enough, most likely It was during the test where the father-in-law inspected his son-in-law. Well, there was a shop selling Huangliang wine on the other side of Daixuan Mountain. Drinking wine would make you forget your worries. Chen Pingan must have reached the sixth level at that time. How to do it, and how to return to the original realm, the world is full of wonders, and there is an ancestor of the Za family over there who has been selling wine for many years, it doesn't matter. Even if Chen Ping'an ascends to heaven in one step and becomes an earthly immortal monk, I won't be surprised. So Chen Ping'an How Ping An passed the test is very simple. Two Taoist monks from the Great Sword Qi Great Wall, Da Jian Xian, pretended to be passers-by and deliberately angered Chen Ping An in the Huangliang Fudi wine shop. Chen Ping An was so excited that he gave up his martial arts future. Even in desperate situations, I have to say a few words of justice to the parents of my beloved girl."
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "You old bastard, you are still very powerful. But be careful what you say in the future. My husband is not a deep man. He wants to increase his wisdom in everything. He is born with bad intentions like the two of us. But one day after another land."
Cui Chan sneered: "I guess everyone on the Sword Qi Great Wall feels that Chen Ping'an is not worthy of Ning Yao."
Cui Dongshan asked doubtfully: "Old bastard, what's the matter with you? Why do you say good things to my husband? Why do you want to surrender and lose half of it? If you think so, it's not impossible, then let's treat it as a tie? "
Cui Chan thought to himself and said: "At that time, I was willing to give up my martial arts career to get through the hurdle of Daoxuan Mountain. If now he is not willing to stay for Gu Can, how can Chen Ping'an be qualified to reach this situation? Then How many smart people have we seen who are reluctant to give up today, thinking that they will have more possessions in the future?"
Cui Dongshan became more and more confused, "Cui Chan, are you saying nice things to my husband again? Are you out of your mind? Don't be like this. It's okay to be out of your mind. After that big thing is completed, No matter how crazy you are, I will probably put a small rice bowl for you at the door of Luoluoshanzhulou..."
Cui Zhang pointed to the room with the scroll, turned to look at Cui Dongshan, raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "What did I tell you before? The fourth difficulty is countless difficulties. Do you know that the fourth difficulty is This is just the beginning. The more Chen Pingan works now, the more he will worry about it in the future. By then, I guess you will ask me to surrender and lose half of it, and you will have to worry about whether Chen Pingan has completely gone crazy."
Cui Dongshan no longer pretended to be as relaxed as before. He sat back down and said slowly: "The victory or defeat for a moment depends on strength, and the victory or defeat for eternity depends on reason."
Cui Chan said with a smile: "If this 'moment' is a few decades, or a hundred years, it is an ordinary master's life. What should you do, and what should Chen Ping'an do?"
Cui Dongshan said with a straight face: "You must learn from my husband and know how to be kind to the world, and I, Cui Dongshan, am one of them, so don't be so fucking aggressive here."
Cui Han smiled slightly, "Ruan Xiu and his party are entering the game, and the owner of Gongliu Island, Liu Laocheng, who has been almost forgotten by Shujian Lake, is about to enter the game. Maybe it's better to arrive early than to arrive by chance."
Cui Dongshan shook his head, "If you don't want to listen, you're just a bastard chanting sutras."
Cui Zhang said slowly: "This is the price of being reasonable. In Mu Ping Lane, I gave away a loach that was bound to be a Nascent Soul. I lost Qi Jingchun's mountain seal in Jiaolong Valley. I was almost stabbed to death by Du Mao in Old Dragon City."
, it seems that your husband has not suffered enough, and the price is not high enough. It doesn't matter, this time he can eat until he dies in Shujian Lake."
Cui Dongshan was still sitting there, wandering around, "If you don't listen to the bastard's chanting, the old bastard's chanting is the most unpleasant thing to hear."
Cui Chan turned his head and looked at this "young Cui Chan" and said, "If you still have the chance to go to Luopo Mountain in the future, remember to be nice to grandpa. If I were grandpa, I would have killed you long ago when I saw your virtue.
.”
Cui Dongshan not only shook his butt, but also started to wave his two big snow-white sleeves.
Cui Chan said to himself: "Are you going to force yourself to death on the road to death?"
————
When Chen Pingan put down his pen, he suddenly noticed the sun outside.
After thinking about it, I walked out of the house and started drying the bamboo slips.
Many bamboo slips have characters engraved on both sides. It’s not that there isn’t enough bamboo. After traveling thousands of miles, there is no shortage of bamboo forests along the way.
It's just that if you read more at that time, you will find many truths. Even if they are different contexts of the three religions and hundreds of schools of thought, some of the paired sentences on the same bamboo slip are still somewhat "close" to the context of Confucianism.
Different, but still like direct descendants, the three sects are different, like close neighbors, and the three sects and other schools of thought are like friends in the world who meet by chance, or distant relatives who have not been in contact with each other for many years?
When Chen Ping'an was drying bamboo slips, he picked up one of them. On the front was a Confucian saying: "Everything has its beginning and end, and everything has its end. If you know the order of things, you will get the shortcut."
The opposite is the Taoist saying: "The great beauty of heaven and earth is not mentioned, the four seasons have clear laws but not discussed, and the principles of all things are not explained."
It's just that this bamboo slip is special. After Chen Pingan read the Buddhist scriptures, he used a carving knife to carve a Buddhist saying in a slightly smaller font on the side of the bamboo slip, "The wonderful principles of the Buddhas are not related to words."
There is a bamboo slip with the words "A gentleman is committed to his foundation, and the foundation is established, and the Tao arises" and the Buddhist sentence "There is no fixed method, the Tathagata can explain it" are engraved on the front and back respectively.
After picking it up, recite it silently and put it down gently.
Chen Ping'an picked up another bamboo slip, which read, "The Dharma is equal and there is no superiority or inferiority." "People have north and south, but Buddha nature has no north and south." The reverse side said, "Both monarchs and ministers, high and low, high and low, obey the Dharma."
Finally, Chen Ping'an picked up a bamboo slip. On the front, it said, "There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart, and the death of a person is the second best." On the back, it said, "Poverty leads to change, change leads to improvement, and communication leads to longevity."
The autumn air is crisp and the sun is shining brightly.
Chen Ping'an dried all the bamboo slips, squatted in a blank area that seemed to be in the center of a circle, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked around like this.
He kept squatting like this until the sun was shining slantingly on the mountain, and then Chen Ping'an began to collect the bamboo slips one by one and put them into square items.
There are so many principles in books, let’s put them aside.
The truth is in the book, but the way of life is outside the book.
This sentence is a truth that Chen Pingan already knew before the Lizhu Cave Sky was shattered and fell, and it was not read from a book, but someone else said it seriously and he listened attentively.
Chen Ping'an had just put away all the bamboo slips when he saw Gu Can coming with the little loach and waved to him.
Chen Ping'an closed the door and walked towards Gu Can, and together they went to the wealthy mansion of Prince Fuqi.
There are two painted hanging portraits of door gods posted on the door.
Chen Pingan looked at them and murmured in his heart: "You can stop ghosts, but you can't stop people."
Gu Can asked: "What's wrong?"
Then he complained a little, "You have to move to the mountain gate to live there. You can't even be a decent doorkeeper. How shabby."
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Let's go eat."
When they arrived at the dinner table, they discovered that Gu Can's mother had poured wine for both Chen Pingan and Gu Can.
The little loach is sitting next to Gu Can. It actually doesn't like to eat these things, but it likes to sit here and eat vegetables with the couple, making it more like a human being.
Gu Can actually agreed with her mother not to drink tonight, so she was a little worried, fearing that Chen Pingan would be angry.
But he saw that Chen Pingan had already picked up the wine glass and toasted his aunt with a glass of wine. Not only that, he poured himself another glass, took a sip, and started to pick up the vegetables.
During the meal, most of the women were chatting about trivial anecdotes about Lizhu Cave in the past. Chen Ping'an did not stay silent all the time, and would talk about the excitement of Longquan County today.
It's fun.
After Gu Can finished a glass of wine, he felt that he could drink hundreds of pounds without getting drunk.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ping'an poured cold water on him, "You are still young. Even if you are a Qi practitioner now, Wu Ti wine can also benefit your practice. You should drink less. I'm so happy, so just drink three glasses."
Gu Can made a face and nodded in agreement.
The woman covered her mouth and smiled.
If Chen Pingan could take more care of his son Gu Can in these innocuous matters, she would still be very willing to see it.
Especially after Xiao Nili accidentally mentioned the jade plaque "I am good at cultivating Haoran Qi", the woman thought about it alone for half a night and thought it was a good thing. It would at least make Liu Zhimao more afraid. As long as Chen Ping'an could protect himself.
At least it means that her family will not be a drag on Gu Can, right? As for the swirling debates about right and wrong, she was upset when she heard them, and she didn't think that Chen Pingan would harm Gu Can intentionally. As long as Chen Pingan didn't go.
She did bad things with good intentions, but she was not the kind of person who did things lightly, so she let Chen Pingan stay on Qingxia Island.
After eating, Chen Pingan began to walk alone around the lakeside path of Qingxia Island as usual.
Stop and go, with no purpose.
Occasionally, I would meet some Qingxia Island monks, most of whom were young and low-ranking Qi practitioners in the lower fifth realm. As for the handymen and maids, they naturally did not dare to leave the various mansions at will.
When they saw Chen Ping'an, they would all call him Mr. Chen, because they didn't know the origins of this young man at all. They only heard that Gu Can personally invited guests to Qingxia Island. Not only that, Gu Can went to the mountain gate every day.
Sit in a room for a while and chat with this distinguished guest. This is a rare event when the sun rises in the west.
It's just that when the accountant became more kind to everyone, it made people confused, and they lost a lot of awe.
Could it be that he is just a showman? For example, he is a fellow countryman of Dali, Gu Xiaomotou? Or maybe he is a junior member of the lady's natal family?
Chen Pingan was walking on the quiet road and stopped.
There were two people standing in front of him, Chao Zhe, one of Gu Can's senior brothers, and Lu Caisang, who was able to make Gu Can somewhat favored. He was a handsome young man in white clothes, who was actually nearly thirty years old.
They are all still teenagers, and they must have entered the cave realm when they were teenagers, so they have the color of a boy. This shows that the old Yuanying monk, one of the few in Shujian Lake, has great foresight in accepting Lu Caisang as a retreat disciple.
Lu Caisang left Chao Zhe who had stopped walking and took a few steps forward with a gloomy face, "Your name is Chen Ping'an? I advise you to stop pointing fingers at Can Can in the future!"
Chen Pingan asked directly: "What else?"
Lu Caisang was slightly stunned and was about to speak.
Chen Ping'an looked past Lu Caisang and looked at Chao Zhe, who considered himself an outsider. He hesitated and said something strange: "Forget it, I won't do it next time."
Chao Zhe wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "No need to explain, I understand, I just don't want to hear it."
Lu Caisang looked at the young man with a haggard expression and gloomy brows, and sneered: "What a big tone, is it the courage that Cancan lent you?"
Chen Ping'an looked like a sick man, stretching out an arm horizontally.
Chao Zhe wanted to retreat based on his instinct, but he was unwilling to show his timidity in front of Lu Caisang, an outsider from Qingxia Island, and forced himself to remain calm.
The world is silent.
Lu Caisang laughed and said, "What are you doing?"
Chen Pingan frowned and said to himself: "Not coming? You have thought about it."
When the words are settled.
In an instant, I saw a golden thread rising from the ground at Gu Can's mansion. The golden thread continued to stretch, and finally a long sword hovered above the young man's palm.
Even though the flying sword had reached an inch above the man's palm, it remained motionless.
But the long golden line brought out by the flying trajectory of this long sword.
It never retreated.
Lu Caisang narrowed his eyes.
My heart was shocked.
Chen Pingan asked: "Is it true that according to the rules of Shujian Lake, you two can die?"
Chen Pingan glanced at the half-immortal sword that was trembling slightly, and said calmly: "Go back and unsheath it next time, and you will be satisfied."
This "Sword Immortal" flashed away, and the golden light that was more than a thousand feet long disappeared.
Lu Caisang still stood where he was, refusing to give in.
Chao Zhe had already given way to the road and stood aside.
Chen Ping'an glanced at Lu Caisang, who had a look of death on his face. His face was still tired but he smiled unexpectedly, "Gu Can should really treat you as a friend."
After saying that, Chen Ping'an actually turned around and walked away, returning to the room.
Lu Caisang, who was a little scared deep down in his heart, turned his head and looked at Chao Zhe who was covered in cold sweat. Lu Caisang still spoke harshly and asked: "Is this guy's head wet?"
Chao Zhe didn't dare to say a word.
You damn Lu Caisang can run back to your master and hide, but once I offend such a humble swordsman and plague god, where can I go?
Chen Pingan returned to the room and lit the lamp on the table.
Local chronicles from various places in Shujian Lake were delivered one after another, as well as many genealogies of the ancestral halls of major islands, etc. The reason why Mr. Tianhu was able to deliver them so quickly was very simple. They were all trophies captured from Qingxia Island.
And it is the least valuable one. If Chen Ping'an hadn't mentioned it, it would have been burned sooner or later as a pile of waste paper. The eleven major vassal islands in Qingxia Island are all made famous by the master and apprentice.
Cut off.
They all need to be read one by one, and excerpts and transcripts are also required.
After this, we need to ask more detailed questions, and then it will no longer be a matter of sitting here and writing.
But Chen Ping'an doesn't think this is a difficult thing. Firstly, he is good at water grinding kung fu, but he just puts aside boxing training and does something else. Secondly, if he just gets started, he will find it difficult.
, he could have resigned long ago.
Late at night, the full moon was shining brightly in the sky outside the window. Chen Pingan put down his pen, rubbed his wrists, pushed the door open, and walked around in a circle, thinking that he was relaxing.
Three letters have been sent to Piyun Mountain in Longquan County, Taiping Mountain in Tongyezhou, and the Fan family in Old Longcheng.
I guess I won't get a reply from Feijian for a while.
Chen Ping'an is not in a hurry, nor is he in a hurry.
In the past, he had walked through thousands of mountains and rivers step by step, and flying swords back and forth at lightning speed was much faster.
Chen Pingan suddenly walked out of the circle, passed the mountain gate of Qingxia Island, and headed for the ferry.
Standing on the shore, he squatted down, picked up a handful of water, washed his face, raised his head, and looked into the distance.
For some reason, at this moment, when Chen Ping'an looked at Shujian Lake, which was notorious in Aquarius Continent and could be described as a bad street, he remembered a good saying that he had forgotten its origin and was unwilling to delve into it now.
The heroic spirit of heaven and earth remains awe-inspiring for thousands of years.
