Along the gurgling river that looked like a green silk ribbon, Zhang Jing and Chen Ping'an, who had come from afar, were walking side by side.
Perhaps it was this paradise land with pleasant scenery, tranquility and peace, or perhaps it was the accountant who was half of his own family beside him. The old monk Zhang Jing, who had experienced countless storms, gradually calmed down and thought about the incident at Shujian Lake.
Talk to Chen Pingan slowly.
It turned out that everyone had underestimated Su Gaoshan's appetite. This one of the great Li cavalry generals who had been eyeing the Zhu Ying Dynasty, after taking the capital of Shihao Kingdom with almost no effort, not only turned his horse's head,
The cavalry under his command took advantage of the situation and drove straight into another Zhuying vassal state. Even if the war was as fierce, there was still the "leisure and leisure" person who came to the Shujian Lake in person, and showed up publicly, threatening to wipe out the Shujian Lake. Those who obey will prosper and those who rebel will perish. The truth is that simple.
The so-called obedience and rebellion are more straightforward. Shu Jian Hu Yexiu who is willing to hand over all Shanmen's family wealth can survive and "cleanse his body and leave home". After leaving Shu Jian Lake, he is willing to hand over half of his belongings and become the lowest monk accompanying the army in Da Li.
The wild cultivators who attacked the Zhu Ying Dynasty together can stay in Shujian Lake for the time being, but after that, the ownership of each mountain top, whether it is necessary to move the mountain gate and the ancestral hall, still need to obey the dispatch of the Great Li Iron Cavalry.
On Gongliu Island, in the late spring of this year, a group of secretive foreign monks appeared and became the guests of Gongliu Island. With Su Gaoshan's appearance, tens of thousands of monks visited the entire lake.
Just last night, under the personal leadership of Liu Laocheng, they attacked Qingxia Island without any warning. One of the old monks, after Liu Laocheng broke through the Qingxia Island landscape formation, his magic skills reached the sky. He must be
There is no doubt that a cultivator in the fifth realm could destroy the entire Hengbo Mansion with a single blow. After that, the cultivator who was waiting for help formed a formation with more than a dozen magic weapons. When he was defeated, he wanted to escape.
The departing Liu Zhimao intercepted and captured him, and escorted him to Gongliu Island. Seeing the bad opportunity, Zhang Dao did not go to die, but sneaked out through a secret underwater passage on Qingxia Island, and hurried to Shihao Country, relying on the enshrined jade tablet.
, found Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an said nothing. After listening to Zhang's story, he asked: "What is Liu Laocheng's attitude?"
Zhang Jing shook his head and said: "Only after the transfer of the slips did I find out that from the time almost all monks landed on Gongliu Island to the time when we, the owner of the island, were captured back to Gongliu Island, Liu Laocheng never said a word.
I have never seen a local monk from Shujian Lake."
Zhang Jin sighed with emotion: "Although I hate Liu Laocheng very much, I have to admit that this is the skill that a high-level five-level wild cultivator should have."
Chen Ping'an said: "There should be many wild cultivators in Shujian Lake now, cursing Liu Laocheng as a Shujian Lake traitor and a lackey of Da Li."
Zhang Jiang smiled bitterly, "There are more than a thousand islands and tens of thousands of wild cultivators. Everyone has too much time to take care of themselves. They are almost scared out of their wits. It is estimated that just mentioning Liu Laocheng and Su Gaoshan now will make people tremble."
Zhang Jing shook his head slightly, "The little backbone and backbone left in Shujian Lake is completely finished. Just like the extremely dangerous and sincere cooperation earlier, where we worked together to kill the foreign Nascent Soul cultivator and the Golden Core Sword Cultivator, from now on the wine table
We won't talk about it anymore, Liu Laocheng, Liu Laocheng! I really can't imagine how much benefit it is to make Liu Laocheng do this, even if he doesn't hesitate to sell the entire Shujian Lake! That concierge woman in Zhu Xian Mansion, Hong
Su, it was I who was ordered to go out and search hard for ten years before I found the reincarnation of the previous woman Jianghu Monarch and brought her back to Qingxia Island. Therefore, I know that Liu Laocheng is not as indifferent to Shujian Lake as rumored by the outside world.
.”
Zhang Jing looked bleak and stopped, squatting by the river, washing his face with water, looking in a daze.
The current situation, compared to when he first worked hard with Liu Zhimao in Shujian Lake, and the island was beaten by an earthly immortal and sank to the bottom of the lake, seems to make Zhang Qi even more worried and helpless.
As you get older, your heart will inevitably become weak.
Especially since Zhang Jie only has a few years left to live, and he wants to die together, Zhang Jie is willing to beheaded, but will he agree to it? With just one finger, he can be regarded as a good person in Shujian Lake.
The Longmen Realm monk who got the chance was reduced to ashes on the spot.
Chen Pingan held the horse with the sword on his waist and said calmly: "As long as a person like Liu Laocheng makes up his mind to return to Shujian Lake, it will definitely not be for a river and lake monarch. At that time, he boarded Qingxia Island to suppress Gu Can
and the descendant of the real dragon are nothing more than a dispensable cover-up. In fact, without that attack, all the wild cultivators in Shujian Lake would have no choice but to wait to die and be slaughtered. Because except for Liu Zhimao, there are almost no
Seeing the general trend sweeping Aquarius Continent, people thought Shujian Lake could stay out of it. Maybe they thought it would be better if the world outside was in chaos, so that they could fish in troubled waters. Just like this time during the Shihao Kingdom war, many Shujian Lake wild cultivators took the opportunity to infiltrate
, I believe that many people have eaten a lot of money, but they didn’t expect that just after making a fortune, someone would have their house confiscated. After hundreds of years of hard work and accumulation, they don’t even know who they are working for.”
Zhang Jing, who had been squatting by the river, said helplessly: "It's not entirely the fault of Shu Jian Hu's poor eyesight. To put it bluntly, in addition to our Qingxia Island, there are also Qingzhong and Tianmu Island from the hostile camp, who want to hold the Dali Iron Cavalry.
The thighs also depend on whether the person is willing to stretch their legs and feet, and whether they can walk through the temple gate while carrying the pig's head."
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "That's true."
Zhang Qi stood up and exhaled, "But if you are really smart and dare to bet big, come to Shihao Country as soon as possible to contact the Great Li Cavalry, take the initiative to submit a letter of surrender, and become a familiar face with a certain general. Then as long as
If you record the spies of Lvboting in Dali, you will make a lot of money now. In the future, Shujian Lake will re-divide the power, and there are indispensable benefits. That is the real fat belly, and you will make a lot of money. Our Qingxia Island has actually done a lot
Well, I lose because I haven't been able to contact Su Gaoshan, and I only stayed with Tan Yuanyi on Lisu Island. In addition, Liu Laocheng intervened, and Shan Jiuren fell short."
Chen Pingan frowned and thought deeply, was silent for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Senior Zhang, do you know that our Aquarius Continent has had any big sect-headed Xian family mansions in the past ten years? Do you want to change the sect's address? Even if it is
Have you ever heard of something that seems to be a rumor?"
Zhang Jing shook his head slumped and said: "No. For example, as the leader on the mountain of our Aquarius Continent, the old master Qi of the Shengaozong has just become a heavenly king. He is as stable as a mountain. The Shengaozong is also a group of Taoist immortals who have cultivated purity. From then on,
There is no sign of outward expansion. From the island owner's chat, it seemed that the Shen Gao Sect had recalled a group of Taoist priests with genealogy, which was very unusual. The island owner even speculated that the Shen Gao Sect had discovered a new cave heaven paradise and needed to send people into it.
In addition, Zhenwu Mountain, Fengxue Temple, Yunlin Jiang Family, and Laolongcheng don’t seem to have this tendency.”
Chen Pingan nodded, "I understand."
Zhang's heart went from tense to suddenly relaxed, extremely tired, and looked haggard.
Just seeing the face of the accountant beside him, Zhang Zhi smiled. Mr. Chen never complained. If he acted like a little lady, wouldn't he have lived in vain for hundreds of years?
Zhang Jing then told Chen Ping'an that the last discussion he had with Liu Zhimao in Hengbo Mansion was not to say good things for Liu Zhimao, but to say whatever the facts were.
The old people in Shujian Lake left one by one, and the newcomers became more and more domineering. Zhang Jing, who was the first to be a serious Immortal Master of the Eight Classics, could not find anyone to chat with. He never thought that he would meet someone with whom he could talk.
Being a thankless "cultivation person", he started talking a little too much. He paid attention to the look of the thin young man and saw that he was not impatient, so he felt relieved.
Chen Pingan has been listening patiently.
When Zhang Jing had nothing to say, Chen Ping'an reminded him softly: "Senior Zhang, it's best not to return to Shujian Lake. It won't help anything. It's better to stay further away and wait and see what happens.
"
Zhang Dao shook his head and sighed: "Where can I go? Qingxia Island is my home. If this thing hadn't happened, I wouldn't mind finding a summer resort around Shujian Lake that is similar to a prince on earth, and be safe.
Spend the rest of your life.”
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, "Senior Zhang, I would like to ask a digression. In the eyes of you Longmen Realm old monks, or whether Liu Zhimao mentioned it, can you feel it in your heart and vaguely see something about the time and place you pass through?
……meteorological?"
Zhang Jing shook his head, "The island owner has never said this, at least I have never been able to do this. When it comes to the flow of energy in a place, it is the special skill of the gods of mountains and rivers, and the earth immortals must not be able to understand it. As for the island owner,
It’s hard to say whether a great monk who is only one step away from being able to reach the upper five realms can do it. After all, when a god-man looks at mountains and rivers, he only sees the actual scene, and does not involve the ethereal Qi."
Chen Pingan hesitated and stopped talking.
Zhang Jing suddenly laughed and said: "Why, Mr. Chen, is it so difficult to be a good person? It is obviously for the sake of others, but you have to weigh it more carefully than your own family affairs? Mr. Chen, there is a saying that has never been done before.
We are so familiar that we can't tell. Now, we are not really friends. It's just that it's hard to say whether Zhang will live or die tomorrow, so I won't be polite to you and just want to talk to you."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Senior Zhang, just talk."
Zhang Jing stared at the young man in front of him and didn't speak for a long time. He let out a laugh and said, "Suddenly, I have nothing to say. What should I do?"
Chen Pingan had no choice but to take off the sword gourd and drink wine to refresh himself.
Even just hearing about the incident on Qingxia Island consumes a lot of energy and affects the whole body. The many calculations after that are even more taxing.
Chen Ping'an said: "There is a hilltop on the easternmost side of Falcon Mountain that has just migrated. I saw some weird scenes there. If Senior Zhang can trust me, why not stay there first and just take it as a break. Now is the worst.
The result is that Liu Zhimao died on Gongliu Island and was killed to scare the monkeys. No one can stop what the old man will do at that time, let alone me. It is better than going back now, and maybe he will be looked down upon.
Because of an invisible provocation, they were taken into Gongliu Island Water Prison together. The old-timers may not be afraid of this, but would be happy to see Liu Zhimao. However, since Qingxia Island is only suffering from Hengbo Mansion and has not yet completely collapsed, even
The vassals including Su Lin Island have not been affected, which means that once there is a turning point in the future, Qingxia Island needs someone to step forward. I can't and I don't want to, but Zhang Ding is Liu Zhimao's most trustworthy person.
The old man from Qingxia Island, even if his level is not high, can convince everyone."
Zhang Jing thought about it carefully, nodded, and laughed at himself: "I just have to work hard."
Zhang Jin suddenly told Chen Ping'an in a heart-hugging voice, "Be careful over there on Gongliu Island. Someone is using me as bait. If it is true, why did the other party bother to use me as bait? Instead of simply using Gu Can and Chunting Mansion as bait, I thought
I don’t understand. There must be a reason why I need to make such twists and turns. Of course, Mr. Chen should have thought that I was just getting an advantage and being obedient, just for my own peace of mind. The burden was on me the moment I left Qingxia Island.
, I have already placed it on Mr. Chen’s shoulders.”
Chen Pingan smiled knowingly and said: "Some kind words are still necessary. At least the other party will feel much better. This is also a little truth I just learned from a young man named Guan."
Zhang Jing joked: "Mr. Chen still wants to learn principles from others?"
Chen Pingan pointed at Zhang Jing, then pointed at Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye, and then drew a circle toward the village at the foot of Falcon Mountain.
How many of the monks on the mountain who know how to be courteous when crossing a bridge are willing to practice this small principle? Right?"
The depression in Zhang's heart was relieved a little, "Then I will go to the hilltop mentioned by Mr. Chen and walk around to find some reason?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "What's wrong with this?"
Zhang Ting looked around. It had been many years since he had calmed down and looked at the human scenery at the foot of these mountains.
Chen Pingan said: "I will not rush back to Shujian Lake immediately for Liu Zhimao. I still have my own things to do. Even if I go back, I will only do what I can."
Zhang Ding nodded, "If we had just met and heard this answer, we would definitely be very anxious. But now, I have no energy at all, and I dare not and do not want to force others to make things difficult for me. Mr. Chen, just do things according to your own ideas."
Chen Ping'an and Zhang Dao said almost in unison, "I still have to say polite words."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Ding straightened his clothes and left, no longer turning into a rainbow to control the wind. He walked across the small bridge and walked slowly away.
Chen Ping'an took Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye and led the horses through the village's bluestone path. After climbing the mountain, they passed the gate of Falcon Mountain. They didn't turn away people thousands of miles away. There was a small archway, and even the gatekeeper
There are no monks at all. There is a single line of Falcon Luoshan monks, even if there is more than one lineage in the Patriarch Hall, there are still only a handful of them. Taken together, leaving aside the offerings, guest sir, the real Falcon Luoshan monks are estimated to be less than twenty.
However, on Falcon Mountain, there is also a place similar to Tongyezhou Shouting Street and Chishui City Yuanwei Street. After all, monks practice Buddhism and money can open the way. This is a principle that has not been easy for thousands of years, so Falcon Mountain will not be too deserted.
Chen Pingan looked back.
Zhang Zhen's figure has disappeared.
To say that Zhang Ding failed to get the answer he wanted from his side, Liu Zhimao was imprisoned, became a prisoner of the Gongliu Island Order, and was even very likely to be beheaded. Isn't Zhang Ding disappointed? He must be extremely disappointed.
But.
Disappointment is one thing. What you should do after disappointment or what you need to do depends more on your character and skill.
Therefore, Chen Ping'an would respect people like Zhang Jin and Guan Yiran, as well as the ghost general of Shihao Kingdom whom he met by chance in Lingguan Temple, Huanglishan Su Xinzhai.
We never know whether we will encounter greater wind, rain and snow when we walk on the miserable muddy road, or whether we will meet one or two good people, like flickering lights.
Chen Ping'an invited the ghost who was a monk in the sea-viewing realm to cover the eyes of Ma Duyi and Zeng so that they would not
On the street of Falcon Mountain, Ma Duyi visited various shops, shopping around, selling and buying spiritual weapons. She had already "divided the spoils" with Zeng Ye, and she would also help Zeng Ye make plans.
, in the current state, which spiritual weapon should be bought is the most cost-effective. Don't blindly pursue good things and be greedy for quality. Although Zeng Ye is dazzled and often greedy, he still listens to Ma Duyi's opinion. In this way, one person and one ghost,
They are already true friends.
Chen Pingan saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart.
Because it is a fairy shop, some of the treasures that have been eaten for decades, hundreds of years, or just collected at a low price are often the lucky additions to a fairy money transaction. This is different from that on Yuanwei Street.
, Chen Ping'an bought a picture of a lady and a large imitation of the canal yellow sword, and the old shopkeeper gave three small things as gifts for free of charge. Almost, at this time, the old ghost will come out to cut off the practitioners of the world of mortals.
Even though they are engaged in business, they may not be sure of the quality and value of antiques from secular dynasties, so Chen Ping'an and his party made mistakes again.
Returned with a full load.
Leaving Falcon Mountain.
Chen Ping'an still followed the established route, walking on the border of Shihao Kingdom, passing through city passes one after another, fulfilling every last wish, big or small, for those evil spirits and ghosts.
But during this period, I have been paying close attention to the movements of Shujian Lake. It's just like the monks in the Falcon Mountain shop buying a stack of old newspapers at a low price. The news about Shujian Lake is mostly indifferent gossip.
During the "small full" period of April, if you are in Lizhu Dongtian's hometown town, you need to be very careful about fighting for water in the fields, otherwise it will affect the year's harvest.
When Chen Ping'an was about to return to Shujian Lake, he got a copy of the Xianjiadi newspaper that was widely circulated in the northern border of Shihao Kingdom, which recorded several big news.
Cao Ping, the commander of another large Li cavalry force, used extremely bold troops and divided his troops into three groups despite danger. Only the Chinese army was left to stay in place and confront the border army of the Zhu Ying Dynasty. The other two groups of cavalry troops successively broke through the two groups.
The vassal state of the Zhuying Dynasty was of course not the kind of annexation, but the field forces that the two vassal states could freely dispatch were completely dispersed. Many soldiers and horses could only continue to shrink, relying on the strong cities and towns, and forming their own camps.
Trapped in a corner, this allowed Cao Pang's cavalry to have greater freedom.
Refugees from the two countries poured into the border area of the Zhuying Dynasty. Envoys from the vassal state temples continued to go to the capital of Zhuying, crying for their fathers and mothers, kowtowing and bleeding, feeling pity and praying for Zhuying's army to save the people from the fire and to attack decisively and fight with that big army.
Li Manzi fought decisively outside the city. For this reason, the general who sat on the border of Zhu Ying and faced off against Cao Peng was criticized. The reputation of being timid in fighting spread throughout Zhu Ying's court and home. There were even rumors that this man had an affair with Da Li.
, there was an uproar, and Zhu Ying Temple was forced to divide the main camp into two camps. The civil and military were mixed, and the mountains and the mountains were also mixed. In the court, the noise was so loud that Emperor Zhu Ying was so angry that he directly threw his sleeves to withdraw from the court.
Let’s discuss the matter again.
If this is just a major event in the human world.
Well, in the recent summer, a shocking event happened on the mountain.
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties at the Immortal Platform of Fengxue Temple, they found the great monk from another continent who was temporarily practicing in the central area of Aquarius Continent, Xie Shi, the Heavenly Lord of Luzhou in Beiju.
After the First World War, the Wei and Jin Dynasties left Aquarius Continent and went to Daoxuan Mountain alone with their swords.
In that battle on the top of the mountain with only a few spectators, the outcome was not revealed, but since Xie Shi continued to stay in Aquarius Continent, this Taoist Heavenly Lord who had already incurred the wrath of the Aquarius Continent must not have lost.
However, even if the Wei and Jin Dynasties failed to defeat Xie Shi with one sword, the monks from Aquarius Continent had no complaints against the land swordsman who had just entered the upper fifth realm. They only had the honor of being a monk from the same continent, especially
He is a sword cultivator from Aquarius Island, and he is even more proud.
This is a major event on the mountain that attracts the attention of the entire continent.
Among them, there is also a certain incident on the mountain that attracts attention in the central part of Aquarius Continent.
A Zhenwu Mountain monk named Ma Kuxuan, who was less than twenty years old and had practiced for just a few years, actually killed two Jindan sword cultivators in two deadly battles. It is said that this was Ma Kuxuan's hidden pressure.
Under the premise of the ability at the bottom of the box, the Zhu Ying Dynasty chose to remain silent on this, because during the two battles, both Ma Kuxuan's Zhenwu Mountain guardians and the royal members of the Zhu Ying Dynasty were watching, and Ma Kuxuan's action was not
Any issues should be dealt with openly and openly.
For a time, Ma Kuxuan's name spread throughout Aquarius Continent.
After Xiaoman, especially once it enters the plum rain season, there is a lot of moisture and evil. Whether you are a Taoist or a layman, you should pay attention to warming and nourishing the yang and righteousness to resist the moisture and evil.
When Chen Ping's Third Cavalry went north, they took a route east of the capital of Shihao Kingdom. When they went south, they took a different trajectory.
In the torrential rain that day, Chen Pingan and his three men took their horses to rest in a dilapidated pavilion. Chen Pingan's heart strings trembled, and the wooden box in his sleeves trembled and became slightly hot.
There was actually a messenger flying sword that should never have appeared.
Liu Zhimao has been detained in the water prison. It is absolutely impossible that under the noses of Liu Laocheng and that group of strange monks, he still has the ability to control his own little sword tomb flying sword to send a message to him.
Chen Pingan even planned to turn a blind eye.
After weighing the pros and cons, he carefully put away the messenger flying sword that was indeed Liu Zhimao's and opened the flying sword ban.
The secret message is just three sentences.
"This trip returns to Shujian Lake, you have to be careful."
"The reason for this reminder has nothing to do with you, Chen Ping'an, nor our established business. It is purely because I don't like some faces, so to show my sincerity, I borrowed Liu Zhimao's flying sword."
"Interception of Feijian, no need to reply."
After Chen Pingan put away the wooden box, he fell into deep thought.
It is undoubtedly the work of Liu Laocheng of Gongyanagi Island, but why it is so is worthy of scrutiny.
Liu Laocheng's frank "reminder" was definitely not a major change in Shujian Lake's situation on the surface. There was no need for Liu Laocheng to tell Chen Pingan. Chen Pingan was neither blind nor deaf, and Zhang Ding came to inform him.
, with Liu Laocheng's meticulous mind and ambition, he would never waste any time or words on this kind of matter. So Liu Laocheng's so-called reminders and cautions must be in more subtle aspects, and it is very likely that they have nothing to do with Chen Ping'an himself.
, closely related.
Chen Pingan stood on the edge of the small pavilion that was constantly leaking, looking out at the gloomy rain curtain. Now, there was a worse result waiting for him.
Zhang Dao escaped from Shujian Lake by taking advantage of the hidden secret passage in Qiaotu San Cave on Qingxia Island. Perhaps it was due to the expectations and calculations of some people behind the scenes.
But why didn't he take action directly against Gu Can and Chunting Mansion? Why didn't he choose a simpler and more trouble-free method with immediate results to force him to rush to Shujian Lake and kill him directly?
Chen Ping'an sighed and murmured: "Is it another battle between the great avenues? Then it makes sense that it is not the sect's head on Aquarius Island who takes action, but the Tongye sect where Du Mao is? Or? Taipingshan, for sure
No. The first major sect we passed when we boarded Tongyezhou was Fuji Sect? But I was just passing by Lu Tai at that time and had no disputes. In the dispute between avenues, there are also differences between high and low, wide and narrow.
, to be able to chase him to Aquarius Continent without mercy, the other party must be a monk in the upper fifth realm, so the possibility of supporting the Qi Sect is not high."
Chen Ping'an frowned tightly, "But it's not like the old temple master who has great dharma. When it comes to him, the avenue is not so small."
Chen Ping'an suddenly turned around and said: "Zeng Ye, Ma Duyi, you don't need to accompany me back to Shujian Lake, go directly to the border between Shihao Kingdom and Meigla Kingdom, and wait for me at the Liuguan Pass there."
Zeng Ye wanted to speak, but Ma Duyi grabbed his sleeve.
Chen Pingan turned his head and continued to look at the rain curtain.
Farewell to the pavilion.
Riding south alone.
The thick blue cotton robe was replaced by a thin and fitted blue shirt.
Chen Pingan successfully arrived at Lutong City on the border of Shujian Lake without any setbacks.
After all, Lutong City is a fringe force in Shujian Lake. The undercurrents and changes in Shujian Lake, as well as Su Gaoshan's shocking words and actions in Chishui City, for the local residents of Lutong City, whether they fail to occupy the island as king
, the idle monks who founded the sect, or the common people begging for food. Many times, the bigger the matter, the quieter it becomes, because under the general trend, if you don't accept that fate, what else can you do, especially those ordinary people who are born and raised outside?
The world is so chaotic, even if you have some savings, where can you move it? Do you dare?
There are many delicious foods in Lutong City.
Chen Pingan randomly found a steamed bun shop and was a little surprised. He bought two. He loved eating them and bought two more. It had been a long time since Chen Pingan had eaten until he felt ninety percent full.
The shop is newly opened, and the shopkeeper is very young, barely a teenager.
Business is pretty good.
On the way around the border of Shujian Lake from Lutong City to Chishui City, Chen Pingan inquired about some more news. Compared to the war-torn Shihao Kingdom, the gossip here would obviously be closer to the truth.
At that familiar ferry in Chishui City, more than half a year has passed, and the ferry is still quietly tied to the shore.
Even though Qingxia Island's Liu Zhimao has completely lost power, his status as the top enshrined person in Qingxia Island still holds some weight.
On the way here, he left the horse at an inn. Chen Ping'an gave him some money and asked the inn to help him feed it.
Dou Zhi Bing is a hot summer, and the entire Shuli Lake is filled with heat, like a big steamer.
It’s hard to imagine that when we left Shujian Lake, this place was still a landscape filled with snow and white.
Chen Pingan returned to Qingxia Island by boat alone.
After stopping the boat and landing, after passing the mountain gate, the old monk who was the concierge was still listless. When he saw the accountant who had returned to Qingxia Island, his smile remained the same.
It seems that the disappearance of the island owner Liu Zhimao, the ruined Hengbo Mansion, and the Throwing Whip Shujian Lake by General Da Li have not affected the leisurely life of this old monk.
Chen Ping'an greeted the old monk at the porter, chatted for a few words, and opened the door. There was nothing unusual, except that there was some dust accumulated, because before leaving Qingxia Island, he said that there was no need to clean here.
Chen Ping'an first went to the Hengbo Mansion, which had become a ruin, and could no longer be rebuilt. He stood on the edge of the ruins, silent for a moment, and then turned towards the Chun Ting Mansion, where the wealthy family was still there.
Nowadays, Qingxia Island is leaderless, and Zhang Jing, who can barely maintain the situation, has disappeared. Liu Zhimao's disciple Tian Hujun on Sulin Island, as a local Jindan monk, actually went into seclusion because of this kind of thing. In addition, Gu Can lost his
That little loach, Yu Hui and his ilk, who are the great worshipers on the vassal islands, are now communicating with some of Liu Zhimao's direct disciples and the worshipers on the vassal islands, and they have their own plans.
I believe that during this period, the Chunting Mansion, without the Hengbo Mansion and Liu Zhimao who were overwhelming them, looked like a beautiful place, but was actually quite miserable.
The sky is falling, the top is high, now Liu Zhimao is like this, who's turn will be next?
From top to bottom in the Spring Court House, no matter how ignorant they are of the general trend, they still know it.
Mother Gu Can, she is already waiting at the gate with her two beautiful and young confidants.
The Spring Court Mansion still has some intelligence.
The woman walked quickly towards Chen Ping'an and said softly: "Ping'an, why are you getting thinner and thinner?"
Chen Ping'an sighed in his heart, but still smiled: "I've been wandering around Shihao Country, often sleeping in the open air, but I'm used to it, and it's actually not bad. Where is Gu Can?"
The woman smiled and said: "After you left Qingxia Island, he liked to walk alone on Qingxia Island. Now he has gone wild somewhere. Dogs can't change their habit of eating shit. They have been doing this since they were young. Every time they go there,
I have to shout to him loudly to eat, but now I can't. No matter how loud I shout, I can't hear him even if I am far away from home. Auntie is not used to it at first."
Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait for him here. After we finish talking about things, I will leave Shujian Lake soon."
The woman was full of disappointment, "Are you so anxious?"
Chen Pingan snorted.
The woman chatted with Chen Pingan here, mostly reminiscing about the bitterness and sweetness. In those days, the parents in Ni Ping Alley and Xinghua Alley were having troubles. Chen Pingan also talked about Ma Kuxuan's recent situation.
The woman was filled with emotion. She really didn't expect that the little fool who was bullied so badly back then would be so successful now. It's a pity that Granny Ma, the bad-mouthed one, didn't get to see her grandson's kindness and enjoy a happy life.
At this point, the woman seemed to be hurt by the scene and turned her head to wipe the corners of her eyes with a silk scarf.
About half an hour later, Gu Can slowly returned to Spring Court Mansion.
When he saw his mother and Chen Ping'an waiting at the door, Gu Can, who was as tall as a boy from the Northland, this Demon King of Shujian Lake who easily made people forget his true age, still did not speed up his pace.
When he reached the door, Gu Can said hello to the woman, then looked straight at Chen Ping'an and said softly: "You're back?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I have heard about the things on Qingxia Island, and I have something to tell you."
The woman had already realized what was going on and left.
Chen Ping'an led Gu Can towards the ruins of Hengbo Mansion and said slowly: "The more chaotic it is, the less impatient it is. Making mistakes while busy is the most undesirable."
Gu Can nodded.
Chen Pingan asked: "Yuan Yuan of Oriole Island has taken refuge in Dali, do you know?"
Gu Can still nodded, "I heard that there is no airtight wall in the world. After seeing you last time, Lu Caisang didn't come even once, but Han Jingling and Huang He made a special trip after Su Gaoshan's appearance and Liu Zhimao's accident.
When I went to Qingxia Island, Huang He wanted to come into your house and take a look, but I refused. His face didn't look very good at that time."
Chen Pingan glanced at Gu Can.
Gu Can smiled and said, "I know now that I'm not smart, but I'm not too stupid, right?"
Chen Ping'an hummed, "Don't be disappointed with people like Han Jingling and Huang He, that's stupid. At the same time, don't be disappointed with Lu Caisang, that's not smart enough. You are true friends. Since you are friends, you must put yourself in their shoes.
, consider the other person’s situation more. Lu Caisang also has his own teacher and responsibility. A true friend should be more considerate. The world is complicated. Don’t expect perfection. It’s best if you have it. If you don’t have it, just keep that feeling, maybe in the future.
That day, a best friend was waiting for me, and when the time came, it would be like a jar of fine wine, and it would not be too late to drink it again."
Gu Can remained silent, "Chen Ping'an, is it too late for me to listen to your reasoning?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "It's not too late."
Gu Can said: "But I am still the same Gu Can, what should I do?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Every little bit better is a little bit better, and every more truth is a little bit better."
The two of them stopped talking and walked to the ruins of the former site of Hengbo Mansion.
Chen Pingan asked: "Do you want to leave Shujian Lake with me and come back again, just like me this time?"
Gu Can asked, "What should my mother do?"
Chen Pingan did not give an answer.
He just gives choices.
Gu Can shook his head and said: "I know you do it for my own good, but I won't leave. I don't feel relieved if I leave. Even if I stay here, it won't be of any use, but I just leave like this. I can't live with it. I can't bear it anymore."
You, no matter how sorry you are, little loach, I can no longer be sorry to my mother. I still won’t regret it, Chen Ping’an, if you want to scold me, just scold me.”
Chen Pingan did not insist on his opinion, let alone scold Gu Can.
Gu Can was a little strange.
Chen Ping'an put his hands in his sleeves, looked at Gu Can who looked confused, and said softly: "Has Chen Ping'an ever scolded the little slug in Mud Bottle Alley?"
Gu Can smiled.
Cried too.
So that’s it, Chen Ping’an’s truth is that simple.
