During the winter solstice, although the days are short and the shadows of people are long, it is actually the beginning of the recovery of the Yang Qi of heaven and earth.
Emperors and monarchs of various countries in Aquarius Continent will worship the mountains on this day. Even if they cannot come in person, they will ask senior officials from the Ministry of Rites to burn incense at the mountain temples.
Similar to Longquan County, Meiglai Country also has the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival. Even if they are from poor families, according to local customs, they still have to prepare dumplings, mutton soup or glutinous rice.
Chen Ping'an and his three riders were munching on glutinous rice balls bought from the market as they returned from Jingzhou in the southernmost part of the Meigla Kingdom.
At a border pass, Chen Pingan stopped and let Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi pass first. Chen Pingan drove his horse to a hill alone. After reaching the top, an old monk happened to be walking slowly towards the top of the slope. Chen Pingan turned over and dismounted.
, the old monk smiled and said in a slightly unfamiliar Aquarius Island elegant language, "You may not know me, but I am very familiar with you."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Thank you, senior, for escorting me all the way."
The old monk Yuanying ignored the sarcasm in his words. No one would feel comfortable being watched all the way.
The old monk smiled and said, "I was once a cultivator of Tongye Sect, so it is really hard for me to be patient all the way."
Chen Pingan asked, "Was it?"
The old monk still suppressed his aura to the realm of the golden elixir earth immortal. On his skin, brilliance circulated, as if the sun and moon were flowing in the small world of his body. He did not answer this question, but looked at the young man up and down, as if he wanted to
I need to get some clues about what it takes to become that Great Sword Immortal... Friend? Fellow disciple? It's hard to say for now, it's all possible. But there is no such thing as a free blessing, especially in the mountains.
One careless move and you lose everything.
The old monk stood on the top of the hillside and looked around. The mountains and rivers of Meigla Country looked boring and dull, and the spiritual energy was thin. It was far inferior to Shujian Lake.
There are some secrets that have not been told to this young man. He is traveling here as a yin god out of his body, and using a yang god to carry the secret tung leaf tablet used to monitor himself, in order to cover up his true whereabouts and avoid this incident.
The meeting was noticed by Shujian Lake. The reason why he was willing to take such a big risk was naturally due to his careful consideration and calculation. They, a group of outsiders who were regarded as guests of Gongliu Island by Liu Laocheng, the wild cultivator of Yupu Realm, could be carefully selected.
When you come out and throw them into the Shujian Lake, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is no exception.
It's just that on the road, if you sell your life to others, you have to look at the price.
He felt the price was a bit low.
Even though he has been judged by the Great Yin Yang family as having no hope of reaching the fifth realm, he is still an old Yuanying who is good at fighting. He still has two hundred years to live. If he is willing to spend a lot of money to die, he may live for another three hundred years.
After receiving this secret mission, he thought about it, and he always felt that it was a serial killer who used a knife to kill people. The leader of the Fifth Realm was used as a knife for others, and even more so for himself. Unfortunately, Aquarius Continent is not his own territory.
You have no foundation, and you have no one to use. Otherwise, you can find another knife, a faster one, and a less clever one. You can't say that you are rich and powerful, and you can really make a fortune. Of course, it may be a piece of cake.
Grasshoppers on the line, a few borrowed knives, everyone is finished together, and as for the real person behind the scenes who even he can't guess the identity, he will be free and happy.
The old monk asked, "I have a mutually beneficial deal, will you do it?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Let's talk about it."
The old monk smiled and said, "But I need to get a promise from you first. For at least a hundred years, you, Chen Pingan, cannot tell anyone about our deal."
Chen Pingan asked, "Even if I agree, the question is, do you dare to believe it?"
The old monk nodded and said, "I don't fully believe it, but I'm going to take a gamble. Me standing here and appearing in front of you is already a kind of proof. As long as the Taoism is higher than me in mountain cultivation, I can't see through the depth, but with whom
After getting along day and night for so long, it's not too difficult depending on your temperament. I have met a lot of people like you, mostly when I was young. It turned out that most of you died early and died halfway, so I only say
This is a century-old appointment.”
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "The Chinese New Year is almost here, please give me a few auspicious words, senior."
The Nascent Soul monk smiled and said, "If I say some polite words to you, wouldn't you be suspicious? How can you do business?"
Chen Pingan felt that he was right.
After about a stick of incense, Chen Pingan drove his horse down the hillside. His unattractive face turned into gold paper. He sat on the horse, shaky, as if he had experienced a life-and-death disaster and was already weak.
The body is almost exhausted.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were so frightened that they stopped their horses to wait after passing the customs. They were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.
Previously, almost everyone inside and outside the pass could see the sword light like a rainbow on the other side of where Chen Pingan disappeared.
Chen Pingan waved his hand, "It's okay, it's settled. Let's continue on our way. Nothing will happen on the way back from this trip. It's still the same old rules. If you don't return to Shujian Lake with me then."
On the other side of the hillside, the Nascent Soul cultivator had long removed his blinding magic, and there turned out to be a middle-aged woman with an average appearance. A drop of blood slowly seeped out from the center of her eyebrows. She gently wiped it away with her fingers, but the trace was left behind.
In the eyes of any cultivator in the Fifth Realm, if you look at it for a moment, it is an extremely dazzling existence.
It was quite safe to do business with that young man. After both parties made up their minds to do the business, they worked out the details and tried to make every detail. After several trials, the young man handled it appropriately.
She looked up at the sky, bowed in salute, piously and fearfully, and said in a trembling voice, "Li Furui is vulgar and can only offend a gentleman, not a villain. It's rude."
After a while, the world was silent.
The woman laughed dumbly, probably because she was overthinking it.
Now that the Aquarius Continent is in chaos, there are too many saints who need to keep an eye on people and things. Beiju Luzhou Tianjun Xie Shi, Great Li Domain King Song Changjing, Emperor Zhu Ying Dynasty, etc., etc., are all not available.
She and Chen Ping'an, even though Liu Zhimao, who was detained at the bottom of the water prison, said it himself, Chen Ping'an now wears the saint's jade plaque that says "I am good at cultivating Haoran Qi", but what about the accompanying saint sitting on the Yizhou Canopy?
, she knows some inside information. As long as there is no too surprising fighting in the world under her feet, she will not divert her attention or take a glance. As for the old sect master of Taiping Mountain who personally hunts down the old ape with a sword, the momentum is too great, and he will definitely be killed.
Saint Tongyezhou noticed it immediately.
But be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years.
Some due etiquette, after all, more is better than less, and some is better than none.
After leaving the pass of Mei Glaze Country and about to enter the boundary of Shujian Lake, Chen Ping'an was near a rural village. He turned to look at the two uninterested guys behind him and said with a hoarse smile, "I've made you worry, this journey
I have a lot to think about."
Ma Duyi covered her heart and said, "Mr. Chen, you are finally alive. You were either in a daze or frowning along the way. We haven't had a drink in a long time. We are both almost scared to death."
Zeng Ye nodded vigorously.
Chen Pingan comforted him softly, "I encountered something that I couldn't figure out for a while. I'm sorry."
Ma Duyi smiled and asked, "Have you figured it out now?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I still haven't figured out the reason, but I took a step back and figured out how to deal with it."
Ma Duyi said worriedly, "Is everything okay?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "It's okay."
Ma Duyi hesitated and said, "Mr. Chen, take a sip of wine and show it to us, otherwise we won't worry."
Zeng Ye looked embarrassed.
Of course, Chen Ping'an didn't actually take a sip of wine, and said with a smile, "You guys can stop here, remember not to disturb the people nearby, practice well, supervise each other, and don't slack off. I will try to come to you in the spring of next year at the latest."
Maybe we can meet up earlier. Then we will go to the south of Shujian Lake. There are miasma there, there are many mountains and rivers with monsters, and it is said that there are evil cultivators and people in the devil's path, which will be better than those in Shihao Kingdom and Meigla Kingdom.
There are many dangers, so don't hold back too much, you two."
Ma Duyi snorted coldly.
Zeng Ye quickly promised to practice diligently.
Chen Pingan rode away alone.
But before leaving, he gave the golden demon-binding rope and a few talismans to Ma Duyi to prevent accidents. Also, remember to hide the demon-binding rope and not let it appear easily. Once it is seen by a passing wild cultivator, it will be a sure thing.
A disaster comes from heaven.
When it came to important matters of life and death, Ma Duyi did not dare to be negligent at all, nor did he make any jokes. He just wanted to reassure Mr. Chen that they would never be so careless.
Chen Pingan slept in a deserted mountain that day. The evil spirit was quite strong, and he was almost certain that there was a powerful ghost hiding in it. However, he had nothing to do all night, which made Chen Pingan a little strange. Now it is inconvenient to reveal his true cultivation, and the other party has
It was very hidden, and it was probably related to the luck of the mountain roots of the place, so I had to give it up.
He rode away slowly.
Extremely sad.
According to the implicit statement of the old Nascent Soul monk Li Fuxi, the envoy who sent her to leave Gongliu Island was a monk of the upper fifth realm of Tongye Sect. He was once in charge of the rules and precepts of the Ancestral Master Hall of the first sect, and his status was respected, even if it was Du
When Mao was still alive, he was quite a powerful being, and the current leader of the Tongye Sect would call him "Master Uncle".
This is not the thing that worries Chen Pingan the most.
The really scary thing is that this great monk of the Tongye Sect is now enshrined by the Yu Gui Sect, and it is the Jade Gui Sect that is about to choose Shu Jian Lake in Aquarius Continent as the foundation of the next sect!
Jade Guizong, the old man surnamed Xun who appeared in the dust medicine shop in Laolongcheng, the future place of monasticism and enlightenment in the Sui Dynasty, and Jiang Shangzhen who appeared in the Qinghu Palace earlier.
Among them, Jiang Shangzhen is more likely to be the first sect leader in the history of the Yugui Sect, but there is no conclusive statement from the Yugui Sect's Patriarch Hall, so there are still variables.
Because Jiang Shangzhen has never rushed to Aquarius Continent, this is also one of the evidences.
As for the chief worshiper of the lower sect, he is naturally Liu Laocheng of Gongliudao.
That Yuanying monk Li Furui said so much.
Since Jiang Shangzhen, who likes to join in the fun most, did not show up, but the ambitious ancestor of the Yuan Tongye Sect became the pioneer of the Jade Gui Sect, maybe this great monk had some unreasonable ideas and wanted to fight with Jiang Shangzhen.
Show off your arms and compete for the position of the leader of the sect.
No wonder Li Furui would follow him all the way and wait for the opportunity.
It's no wonder that Su Gaoshan is so unfaithful to him. You must know that even Tan Yuanyi knows part of the Lubo Pavilion file and is aware of her inextricable relationship with Da Li. Su Gaoshan, who does not put Tan Yuanyi in his eyes at all, will only
Knowing more, when you reach a high position like Su Gaoshan, although you can't call the spies of Lubo Pavilion at will, it is not difficult to check the files and even learn more inside information than Tan Yuanyi.
Fortunately, Li Furui was cautious enough and feared the unpredictable changes in the road.
Only then did he and himself play a bitter trick with consequences.
Of course, we have to meet again somewhere on the pass border beyond the hillside.
Being able to poke a little scar between the eyebrows of an old Yuanying, when the news spread, no one believed it among the tens of thousands of wild cultivators on the thousands of islands in Shujian Lake outside Gongliu Island.
But as long as Liu Laocheng is not determined to harm himself and does not take the initiative to reveal his true identity, after all, this means that Liu Laocheng will harm others and not benefit himself, and he will be completely torn apart from a future first-class minister of the Yugui Sect.
To lose face, as long as Liu Laocheng doesn't say anything, or is vague and says something innocuous, then most of the ancestors of the original Tongye Sect will be suspicious of him, and that's enough.
However, on the hillside, Chen Pingan still reminded Liu Laocheng of the summons with Liu Zhimao's flying sword. He did not mention it at all, and did not use it as a way to get immediate results without spending half a copper coin just because he wanted Li Furui to form an alliance.
A reassurance to express goodwill to Li Furui.
Some things cannot be done.
Otherwise, Chen Ping'an would really have to reflect deeply and weigh his conscience to see if he has become a complete Shu Jian Hu Ye Xiu.
Be it Chen Ping'an or Li Furui.
Unexpectedly, they didn't know that after both parties left the pass, on top of the border city, there was a vague, rippled figure that was uncertain, and finally an acquaintance figure that both parties actually knew appeared.
If Li Furui knew about this, his Taoist heart would probably be frightened to pieces.
Because this uninvited guest is Liu Laocheng, the number one wild cultivator in Aquarius Continent who is more likely to enter the Immortal Realm after getting the fragment of the glazed golden body that Taoist Lord Qi Zhen was trying to grab.
When he left Shujian Lake this time, he was supposed to go to Su Gaoshan to discuss important matters. Of course he did, but no one could control how and when he would return to Gongliu Island, Liu Laocheng.
Even the upper-level fifth-level monk who switched from Tongye Sect to Yugui Sect and conveniently stole a valuable treasure from the Ancestral Master Hall did not dare to be too restrained by Liu Laocheng, let alone test him casually again and again.
Wild cultivators in the upper five realms are extremely difficult to deal with even in Tongye Continent, which is far more vast than Aquarius Continent.
No matter why Liu Laocheng appeared there at that time, Liu Laocheng waved his sleeves and put away his almost immortal-level palm-viewing magic power. A wild cultivator in the mountains and swamps must have one or several particularly outstanding tricks.
A killing move or magic weapon with huge killing power but extremely concealed. It is like a turtle shell that protects the yin and yang gods. To escape and spy, the more the better. The more skills you have, the more complex and refined your skills are. A wild cultivator without a backer can do it.
Live longer.
Li Furui rose from the ground, turned into a rainbow and flew away. The sky above the pass shook like winter thunder and made a roaring sound.
Liu Laocheng then appeared and said with a smile, "Good boy, you should be a little more ethical. You are smart. Otherwise... haha."
Liu Laocheng passed away in a flash.
This kind of life hanging by a thread, this kind of ghost gate hidden on Yangguan Road, even if Chen Pingan walked through it personally, he would still be completely unaware of it.
Things in the world are often like this, but many times, it is not a matter of life or death, but something lighter, such as inexplicable opportunities, loss of power without warning, disputes for no reason, sudden good luck, a
Each one of them makes people confused, either ecstatic or complaining endlessly.
It seems that everything has a certain destiny, but in fact it depends not on destiny but on people.
When people are doing it, God is watching. Even if God is not watching, everyone else is watching.
As for what should be done, everyone has their own fate, which is nothing more than different choices in their own environment. Treating others with sincerity, seeking only profit, and living in a merry way can all become the foundation of a life. The only ridiculous thing is such a simple truth.
, good people and bad people, many people don’t know, and it’s still useless to know it. It’s useless to comfort yourself that the world is like this, and principles are useless. After all, everyone can reach every moment, supported by their underlying principles beyond words. Everyone’s most fundamental
Ideas and context are like the most critical beams and pillars. Changing the word is difficult and even more difficult. It is like repairing the attic of a house and adding bricks and tiles, but it costs money. If the beams and pillars shake, the house will inevitably fail.
Stable, or if you just want to replace the tiles and repair the window paper, it is okay. What if you try to replace the beams and columns? Naturally, it is tantamount to breaking your muscles and bones and asking for trouble. Few people can do it. The older you are,
The more experience you have, the more accustomed you are to living in the existing house, so it is more difficult to change. Once hardship comes and you are in trouble, it is better to think about how the world is and how everyone is, and then start from there.
Borrowing a few confusing quotes from books to gain temporary peace of mind, or just looking at the more pitiful things of others, are all reasonable thoughts.
When Chen Ping'an approached Shujian Lake, he suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Mei Glaze Country.
But instead of getting together with Zeng Ye Ma Duyi, he gave up his mount and let it roam in the mountains and forests. Whether we can meet again in the future depends on fate.
Chen Ping'an walked directly across the mountain border from a deserted path that only woodcutters walked, and found a person.
A young monk who can subdue the mental ape.
When he reached the foot of the cliff, Chen Ping'an stopped, clasped his hands together, and saluted to the grotto above.
The young monk stood up from the futon, seemed not surprised, returned the greeting, and then stretched out a palm, signaling Chen Ping'an to just climb up the cliff.
Chen Ping'an walked along the way. Even though he didn't feel that anyone was following him, he never walked too fast. He pretended that his breathing was not as smooth as usual. As for the inner weather, Li Furui's unique secret method helped to cover it up, but he still needed to be careful everywhere.
Otherwise, if you harm others and yourself, you will not only implicate Li Furui, but also put yourself in danger.
Like a monkey climbing up a rock in a mountain forest.
The young monk stood at the other side of the narrow grotto. After Chen Pingan stood still, he went inside and sat cross-legged, but gave up the futon to the guest.
Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment and still sat on the futon.
As for the mental monkey, it kept its eyes closed, as if in a deep sleep.
The young monk opened his mouth and said, "I am from Tongyezhou. I am not familiar with the Yayan of Baopingzhou. Regarding Buddhism, I only know the basics. There are two language barriers. One is the words between you and me.
, because of the distance between the meaning of Buddhism and the words of Buddhist scriptures, I dare not lie even more."
Chen Pingan said with a smile in Tongyezhou's elegant language, "Fortunately, I have traveled to Tongyezhou and can speak the elegant language there, which can barely break a small obstacle."
The young and gaunt monk smiled slightly and said, "Does the donor know that Tongyezhou has a saying that it is 'different from the Niutou sect'?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I am extremely ignorant of Buddhism. I have never had the opportunity to come into contact with Buddhist scriptures during my previous travels."
The young monk raised one palm in front of him, "It's better not to know, but to remove some of the barriers in your mind."
Chen Ping'an thought about it in his mind, but pressed it down gently.
After all, the surrender of the Heart Monkey is an opportunity for the monk in front of him to achieve great enlightenment. Outsiders should not mention it easily, just want to ask some doubts in their hearts.
But the young monk had already smiled and said, "The donor has a destiny with Buddhism, and you and I also have a destiny. The former is visible to the naked eye, and the latter is vaguely visible. It must be that when the donor was traveling to the north of Tongye Island, he once walked through a mountain peak and met a
It's like a crazy little spirit who keeps asking, 'How can one become a Buddha with such a heart?' Is that right or wrong?"
Chen Pingan was stunned.
The young monk smiled slightly and said, "Yes."
The young monk looked outside the grotto, as if he saw a continent thousands of miles away, and said slowly, "That's the right question, I can't give you the answer."
The young monk continued, "On the way to seek scriptures, I was both a master and a disciple. I was transformed into five things without realizing it. I was trapped in a miasma of self-obsession. I happened to encounter a cave of a mountain spirit who was kind to others. He kindly showed me the way. However, there was a turmoil. The result was this
With one blow, countless people were killed. The road to learn the scriptures was actually broken at that time, and it was broken again and again, without looking back. Still unknown, I traveled to one continent after another, went through countless hardships, and left this place.
In the world, I finally saw the Pure Land of Buddha, but I turned around and returned, with nothing in my hands and in my heart."
The young monk sighed and looked at Chen Pingan, "Donor, please ask."
Chen Pingan slowly spoke out some questions in his mind, including problems in Buddhist scriptures and confusion in life.
The young monk used Buddhism to solve his doubts.
Chen Ping'an has only read a few Buddhist scriptures recommended by Cui Dongshan. He has no idea about the complicated sectarian inheritance of Buddhism, and he doesn't particularly care about it.
I listened purely to the answer of this traveling monk from Tongyezhou with a pious question.
Chen Ping'an was deeply impressed by several of them, including the study of Yin Ming.
After asking and answering questions, the young monk also extended his answers. Some of his statements had obvious traces of Confucianism, Taoism and hundreds of schools of thought. The monk had no scruples about this.
When Chen Ping'an had no more questions, the young monk smiled and said, "Don't be afraid that if you ask about Buddhism, you will escape Zen. This is a misunderstanding of the world."
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.
He does respect Buddhism, but he doesn't really want to become a monk.
After that, I chatted with the young monk about my experience in the Xinxiang Temple in Ouhua Blessed Land, especially my chat with the old monk. I told the young monk one by one.
The monk listened attentively, and when he occasionally understood something, he sang softly.
Finally, Chen Ping'an stood up from the futon, took a step back, bowed his head and clasped his hands again to the young monk, "I have cleared up the confusion."
The young monk then stood up, bowed his head, chanted the Buddha's name, and murmured, "Tathagata, Tathagata, God is here."
Chen Pingan exited the grotto and returned to the cliff along the same path.
The young monk looked at the futon, clasped his hands together again, and repeated the second half of the sentence, "Senxiu, please take your seat."
Chen Ping'an didn't understand the deeper meaning.
I just remembered that there was indeed a high mountain over there in my hometown, with the four characters "天开神秀" carved on it. In the earliest days, I walked over mountains and rivers with others, but Chen Ping'an didn't have good eyesight at that time.
, coupled with the shrouded clouds and mist, it was impossible to see clearly even if he looked up. Later, Wei Bo took him to visit the territory of Beiyue and was able to see it. At that time, he felt that the reason why Master Ruan chose that mountain as the starting point of his sect
The origin of the establishment of the sect is because Miss Ruan's name contains the word "xiu".
Chen Ping'an returned to the border of Meigla Kingdom, and unexpectedly found the horse in the mountains and forests. After seeing Chen Ping'an, it galloped towards him and was very affectionate.
Chen Pingan gently patted the horse's back and joked, "I just realized that we have both lost weight. But you are fine. When you knock the thin bones forward, it still sounds like copper. I am called skinny. I don't have a few kilograms of meat. The wind blows."
Immediately pour."
Get on your horse and go straight to Shujian Lake.
There is a sword on the waist, and a sword gourd hanging on it.
It's just that Chen Ping'an now thinks that if he was like this back then, there wouldn't be any sinister knocks on the door at Ziyang Mansion that night.
It’s no wonder that the old swordsman on the other side of Guan was left behind. To be honest, not all the men in green shirts are that swordsman.
Chen Pingan entered Shujian Lake from Lutong City again. He still kept the horses at the inn in Lutong City. He also went to the back alley and bought four cheap and good-quality meat buns at the bun shop. It just looked like the shop now.
, compared to half a year ago, the business was much deserted, and the young shopkeeper looked sluggish and often sighed. Chen Pingan gnawed on steamed buns along the way, found the ferry at the ferry, cleaned it up, and punted back to Qingxia Island.
As the New Year approaches, Shujian Lake today is even bleaker than that meat bun shop compared to last year. At the end of last year, there were three consecutive heavy snowfalls. The aura of Shujian Lake has increased significantly. Even practitioners who are very indifferent to the New Year are like
It has truly been a good year. I never thought that this year has not yet ended, and there are already such fields. Including Qingxia Island, more than a thousand islands need to hand over half of their wealth as tribute to the Great Li cavalry under Su Gaoshan.
, some islands related to the Zhuying Dynasty and the vassal Shihao Kingdom and Meigla Kingdom are really miserable, not only hurting their vitality, but also not pleasing to both sides.
The most terrifying place is that Tan Yuanyi of Risu Island, Lord Sulin of Shimada Lake, and Yu Hui joined forces with all the island ancestors who have earthly immortal monks, such as the earthly immortal monks of Oriole Island, and formed an alliance again. This time there was no dispute.
, cooperated extremely sincerely, and took the initiative to use the four cities including Shujian Lake Pond and Lutong as "passes" to stretch out a line of encirclement. Any monks who dared to abscond with the island's money without permission would be arrested and handed over to the Dali Cavalry.
The responsible persons stationed here include cavalry generals, a civil servant, and two monks accompanying the army. The four of them were stationed in the city respectively. A heaven and earth net surrounded tens of thousands of wild cultivators in the mountains and swamps. They could not get out and had to force their way out.
He cut his own flesh with his scalp, and boxes of immortal money were continuously transported to Chishui City. During this period, many changes and conflicts occurred. After the death of nearly a hundred Shanze wild cultivators, including two Jindan cultivators, Shujian Lake this
Then he finally fell silent and behaved obediently with his tail between his legs.
It is said that this is the first round.
Next, some larger islands will get permission from the Great Li Cavalry. The big fish will eat the small fish and the shrimps together, and they will expand the vassal islands. In the end, the more than a thousand islands in Shujian Lake will most likely be destroyed within a year.
Within 30% of the time, they would visit 30% of the ancestral halls of all sizes, cut off their incense, and completely become a vassal of the big island. In this process that is bound to be full of blood, all the monks who dare to resist will have only one fate waiting for them. Rumor has it that
Su Gaoshan will set up a new rank-free position under Su Gaoshan, the horse-drawing sergeant, which means to give those regular Dali army monks to serve as their horse-drawing retinue. Once Su Gaoshan tears through the Meiglai defense line, plus Cao Ping's army
, the two cavalry are divided into five groups, and they will work together to form a huge encirclement against the Zhu Ying Dynasty. The only luck for this group of soldiers is that they can accumulate military merits by fighting on the battlefield with Zhu Ying's border troops, and are expected to become a leader.
The lowest level monks are just ten warriors. God knows whether two or three of them can survive and become monks. Even if they become monks, what should they do if the Great Li Cavalry still wants to go south?
This statement has spread widely. Because it can withstand scrutiny, Su Gaoshan, the big Li barbarian who is crazy about money, can really do this kind of thing of killing the goose and taking the eggs.
But now that people are distracted and the big forces have long since fallen apart, who dares to take the lead in rising up?
At this moment, Shu Jian Hu Ye Xiu, everyone is thinking about Liu Zhimao. Back then, everyone was afraid that Liu Zhimao would reach the upper five realms. Now they just hate that Liu Zhimao is not dedicated enough to practice, otherwise he will become a prisoner of Gongliu Island.
Unable to advocate for Shujian Lake?
Chen Pingan landed on Qingxia Island and sat in the Shanmen room for a while. He found that there was no dust and was quickly relieved. It must have been done by Gu Can.
It seems to be a violation of the agreement between the two parties, but in fact it is a good thing.
Chen Pingan walked out of the house and glanced at the lake view.
We have to pass through many islands along the way, so people who are interested must already know this news.
It's just that this time is different from the past. There are no more guests coming to visit. In fact, the last time Chen Ping'an returned to Shujian Lake from Shihao Kingdom, it was already this lonely scene.
Yu Hui, the owner of Zizhu Island, and Liu Chongrun, the owner of Zhuchai Island, came in an endless stream and visited one after another. It was so lively that Chen Ping'an was the king of Shujian Lake.
If you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor in the city, you have no one to care about.
Since ancient times.
Chen Ping'an was happy to be quiet, so he went to the ruins of Hengbo Mansion to stay for a while. If he took one more look, he would be able to understand more about the dangers of cultivating on the mountain.
This time Gu Can quickly arrived at the Hengbo Mansion ruins and stood next to Chen Pingan, "I thought you wouldn't be able to come back until the next year."
Chen Pingan said with emotion, "The next step is to go to the mountains south of Shujian Lake, which may take a little longer."
Gu Can nodded.
Chen Ping'an asked, "Has Mr. Tianhu come to see you?"
Gu Can said, "I have looked for him, and he spoke more sincerely. He also advised me to lower my self-esteem, saying that since I was born in Longquan County, I have a lot of capital. I might as well go to Chi Shui City to find a young man."
The monk who accompanied the army said that at such an age, he must be able to garrison in Chishui City. He must have a lot of background. If you build a relationship with this person, maybe you can find a safe situation. But I don't dare to believe her. Now she, Han Jingling and Huang He, privately
It’s closer down there.”
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "The reasons why she advised you to go to Chishuicheng are not a lie, but they may not lead to her result. It is not a mistake that you did not agree to go to Chishuicheng to find the Dali monk.
. Because you have no idea what the temperament of that so-called well-connected monk who is accompanying the army is, and whether Han Jingling and Huang He have already stumbling upon you. I don’t know either, but I can say something about them.
It is normal. For example, if the young monk is really a descendant of the great Li family, but he can join the army and serve as an accompanying monk who must fight in battle, it means that this person is not only arrogant, but also unwilling to rely on his family to achieve success. This is one of the reasons.
, and the children of the aristocratic family often understand your behavior in Shujian Lake, even if they understand it, because they are familiar with the rules of officialdom and recognize that set of rules of conduct. So, I am not saying that you should not go to Chishui City.
, it must be right, but it must not be wrong.”
Gu Can turned to look at Chen Ping'an and asked with a smile, "How do you know this?"
Chen Ping'an pointed to his eyes, and then to his head, "Look more and think more, you will make fewer mistakes, and you will be able to be prepared to recognize your mistakes and correct them at all times. Apart from life and death, leave everything to yourself."
Leave some leeway and a way out. The road cannot become narrower or narrower, otherwise one day you will suddenly find yourself in a dead end."
Gu Can knelt down, picked up a piece of gravel, and threw it away, "Don't you think it would be better to have broken jade than to make it whole?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "That's when you have no choice. At this point, you have to think clearly about what it means to really have no choice, and why you have reached the point of no where to go. Then think about it, is there any
Maybe, there is no perfect path, in fact
There are still options.”
Chen Ping'an also squatted down and picked up a piece of green glazed tile that was arrogant in the secular dynasty. "You may feel a little complicated now. That's because you haven't established this context yet, so you find it annoying and troublesome. In fact, it's not that difficult.
, it’s like a person walking between mountains and rivers, paving roads across mountains and building bridges across rivers. As long as you know how to pave roads and build bridges, you will find that the difficulties in life are not that difficult to overcome when mountains and rivers block the road, of course.
, knowing how to pave roads and build bridges, how to find the materials is also very tiring. I have to pick the stones by myself, go up the mountain to chop firewood by myself, and if I really have no money, I have to borrow credit from my friends, and even have to be humble and talk to people I don’t like.
Only by borrowing money can people pave the way and build the bridge, but when you cross the river or climb the mountain, you will find that everything is worth it. Even more, you may not succeed in the end, but only at that moment
, you can just say, I have a clear conscience, I am still in a desperate situation, and it is in order to talk about what you said before that I would rather be in pieces than in ruins."
Gu Can lowered his head and murmured, "In Shujian Lake, this is what you did."
Chen Ping'an lowered his head and blew away the dust on the green glazed tile, and hummed, "I'll tell you something that you may not want to hear. It was only after I got to Qingxia Island and was disappointed with you that I realized the difference between us.
It’s hard to hear, but you should listen to my true words first. That is, when we first walked out of Lizhu Cave, we were all afraid of this world, right?"
Gu Can nodded vigorously.
Chen Pingan said slowly, "But we have chosen different truths. I am carefully examining this strange world. For all the people who appear around me, I try my best to see their true thoughts and learn from them."
Well, think about how they can become strong. As for you, you are trying to find a shortcut that is the most worry-free and labor-saving. I can understand your hardships on Qingxia Island and your love for your mother.
I admire you for your protection, but there are some things. I am not close to you and know your suffering, so I can say to you Gu Can, Gu Can, you did the right thing. In fact, there is a clear distinction between right and wrong in things in the world.
Don’t think that people’s hearts are complicated, and even the most basic right and wrong are confused. I’m here to say something more stupid. Even if you are a bad person, you should know what you are and how many rules you have broken. Such a bad person,
Only then can you harm the legacy for thousands of years. You don’t understand these things, and you used to like to pretend you didn’t understand them.”
Gu Can sighed and complained, "It's not your fault. You came to Shujian Lake so late. If you had told me this earlier, I would have listened."
Chen Ping'an was not angry at all. This was just a child's habitual harshness, but it was a sign of approval in his heart.
It was completely different from the first meal at the Spring Court House and Gu Can's admission that he "liked killing people" that night.
Chen Pingan rubbed Gu Can's head.
Gu Can lowered his head.
Chen Pingan said softly, "If your mother secretly tells you one day that she will deliberately plan an assassination in Chun Ting Mansion so that I can stay on Qingxia Island and work as a doorkeeper for you two, don't agree to her, because
It's useless, but there's no need to argue with her, because it's also useless. Have you ever thought that the one who can really change your mother's thoughts is not even your father, but you?"
Gu Can raised his head with a look of shock.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Why, have I already told you?"
Gu Can lamented and muttered, "I'm a little afraid of you, Chen Ping'an."
Chen Pingan put down the glazed tile in his hand and said hoarsely, "That was in the small town back then. I hid it well and didn't tell you many bad things."
Gu Can laughed and said, "That's true. How could I have thought about these things at that time? I was thinking about asking you to buy this or that all day long. Every time you brought copper coins back to Mud Bottle Alley from the Dragon Kiln, I felt like you were celebrating the New Year.
, By the way, you really don’t care about money?”
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "If it had been anyone else, I would have felt sorry for you. But for you, I have never felt sorry for you. At first, I was thinking of repaying my kindness, but then I stopped. It becomes a habit."
Gu Can suddenly asked a question, "Have you ever thought that your friends might feel burdened?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "This is a good question."
Gu Can chuckled.
Chen Ping'an raised his arm, drew a long line, and said seriously to Gu Can, "First, our lives, under normal circumstances, are very likely to be longer than those of ordinary people, so we have to take a longer view and think more.
Good people, good things. I have traveled far and wide and seen thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. On the road of life, I will also encounter obstacles that I can’t get over and things that I can’t figure out. At that time, I will come to you for help. No.
I’m embarrassed, that’s why I told you before that a good relationship with friends is as good as an old wine stored in a cellar for one year.”
Chen Pingan gently clenched his fist, "Second, Gu Can, have you ever thought that I have met many people who make me feel ashamed? Some, in fact, there are more than one or two, even in Shujian Lake, there are
Su Xinzhai, Zhou Guonian and others, even if I put aside my relationship with you, just meeting them still makes me feel uneasy, thinking how can there be such good... people or ghosts in the world? "
Chen Pingan looked at Gu Can, watching the subtle changes in his eyes and expression.
And he made no secret of his observations.
Gu Can and Chen Pingan looked at each other, "Chen Pingan, can I ask you a favor? Can you send my mother out of Shujian Lake? For example, go back to Mud Bottle Lane, or send her to my father."
Chen Pingan asked, "What about you?"
Gu Can said, "You said that being reasonable or being unreasonable actually comes with a price. I understand the price of being unreasonable. You talked about the price of being reasonable, and I want to give it a try. Among the mountains south of Shujian Lake
Okay, Zeng Ye and I will go together, you just need to send my mother away from Shujian Lake."
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Okay."
It's like I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
Gu Can put his hands on his sleeves, and Chen Ping'an also put his hands on his sleeves, looking at the ruins together.
After that, Gu Can returned to the Spring Court House and didn't say a word to his mother about the new agreement with Chen Ping'an. He only said some words of comfort to her.
Chen Pingan went to Chishui City.
The big Li Tai Ping Wu Shi tablet was not seen in front of Su Gaoshan, but it was still of sufficient weight to see a monk accompanying the army stationed in the city.
As a result, after entering the heavily guarded Fan family's residence, they saw the young monk, and both of them looked at each other.
Guan Yiran.
Chen Pingan.
There is no place in life where we don’t meet each other.
Guan Yiran is very polite, enthusiastic and sincere.
But when Chen Ping'an said that he wanted to send Gu Can's mother from Qingxia Island to Longquan County, Guan Yiran did not agree directly, but kept it official, saying that the matter could be big or small, and he could not make decisions without authorization and had to report it to the general.
Su Gaoshan.
Of course Chen Pingan had no objection.
This is the way things should be done.
Confusing human relationships and not distinguishing between public and private affairs. It may seem like a stepping stone to take shortcuts, but the human relationships are extremely smooth and the friendship is pleasant for the time being. In fact, each legacy will be left on the road of life, and one day there may be retribution for the displeasure.
Guan Yiran said that within ten days, or at the latest half a month, the general would give a reply, and whether it was good or bad, he would notify Chen Ping'an as soon as possible.
We talked about business.
The two had another drink, and Chen Pingan treated them to a treat.
Just like the last time Guan Yiran was at the gate of Shihao Kingdom, the young monk from Da Li joked that he could default on anything, but the King of Heaven couldn't owe him Guan Yiran's wine.
Although Guan Yiran is the great-great-great-grandson of the head of the Guan family in Dongliang, the contemporary Dali, as Chen Ping'an had guessed before, the more ambitious an official's son is, the more important he is to the word "rules". Gu Can.
Coming here, Guan Yiran will most likely shut him out, and Huang He and his ilk have indeed turned a deaf ear to Guan Yiran recently. Their intentions are sinister but not very clever. Guan Yiran can see through it at a glance and needs to
Knowing that the Guan family has been the mainstay of the Dali officialdom for two hundred years, he has seen too much of this kind of thing. Guan Yiran even feels that Huang He and his like are not smart enough. Even if they can exchange Gu Can for short-term benefits, at least in the
Don't even think about taking Guan Yiran's line. Huang He may have thought of the gains and losses involved, but the immediate benefits are too tempting and he may not have thought of it, because it is impossible to imagine the depth of Guan Yiran's family background.
However, he has never revealed his identity to outsiders.
However, these inside stories are just like Chen Ping'an never leaked Liu Laocheng's reminder to Li Furui. Even if Guan Yiran felt that Chen Ping'an was in love, he would not bring out Huang He, Su Lin Shimada Lake and the others as a small talk.
Great conversation starters with wine.
Ten days later, Chi Shuicheng Feijian sent a message to Qingxia Island. Guan Yiran told Chen Ping'an that General Su Gaoshan had personally agreed that Gu Can's mother could take the Xianjia ferry back to Longquan County, but she was not allowed to carry too much fairy money.
, or the secret treasure of Qingxia Island. At the same time, in exchange, Chen Ping'an must hand over the Da Li Tai Ping Wu Shi Pai, return it to Da Li, and sell it to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to completely losing the amulet of Da Li and other monks.
If you want to get another piece in the future, you have to earn it through meritorious service.
Chen Pingan agreed without hesitation.
Over at Spring Court Mansion, when the woman suddenly heard the news, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning and heard terrible bad news.
After calming down for a while, she saw that Chen Pingan and Gu Can were silently silent, and the woman seemed to accept her fate, so she asked Chen Pingan what to do with Gu Can, and said that if Gu Can didn't leave Shujian Lake together, she would not die.
Will leave Qingxia Island.
Gu Can looked at Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan said, "We can leave together. I can go on the trip to the mountains south of Shujian Lake by myself."
Gu Can asked, "Is it safe for my mother to return to Mud Bottle Lane this time?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Whether it's Su Gaoshan or Guan Yiran, as long as you agree, you can believe it. If you are really worried, I also hope that you can accompany your mother back. There are some things that you can do as long as you sincerely want to do it."
It’s too late.”
Gu Can fell into deep thought.
The woman asked timidly, "Can I come back in the future?"
Chen Ping'an said, "There is a chance, but I can't guarantee it now."
After that, the woman asked many details about returning home, and Chen Pingan answered them one by one. Apparently, Chen Pingan thought of everything she thought of, and he even thought of things that the woman didn't think of.
This made the heartbroken woman feel a little better.
She can take away part of the savings of the Spring Court House, such as a lot of fairy money, and can also choose five or six maids in the house, calligraphy and painting antiques, and a share of three large boxes. She can also take it from the secret warehouse on Qingxia Island.
Personally select ten spiritual weapons and one magic weapon.
After that, the woman moved like an ant, her fighting spirit high, and she glowed with a luster similar to that of the swallows in Mud Bottle Alley carrying mud to replenish their household supplies.
Chen Pingan no longer cares about this, Gu Can has been accompanying her all the time.
Finally, Gu Can came to the house at Shanmenkou to find Chen Pingan and said that he planned to accompany his mother on this trip, otherwise he would still be worried.
Chen Pingan smiled and agreed.
The two of them sat on the small bamboo chairs made by Chen Ping'an himself, basking in the warm winter sunshine.
Gu Can asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back if I leave?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head, "The things I fear most have happened and I have faced them. It's hard to be disappointed again."
Gu Can was holding the charcoal cage hand stove that Chen Pingan had handed over earlier, "I'm sorry."
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Similarly, I also prepared for the worst. I told you before that I had a ten-year appointment with a girl. If I really have to spend so many years in Shujian Lake,
I will also leave for a while, visit Daoxuan Mountain and Sword Qi Great Wall, meet her, tell her exactly what happened, and then return to Shujian Lake, what do you think you said? Go ahead, as long as it’s true
I will come back, ten years or a hundred years later, or later, it doesn’t matter.”
Chen Pingan turned his head and said, "But we agreed in advance that if you come late, you might as well not come at all."
Gu Can nodded and said, "No. Trust me once."
Chen Pingan nodded.
At the end of this year, there was not a single snowfall on Shujian Lake.
One day, Su Lin Shimada Lake personally ordered a Qingxia island boat to dock at the ferry. The woman took six of the most popular maids and maids and boxes one by one and boarded the ferry.
Chen Pingan stood at the bow of the boat with Gu Can.
Tian Hujun didn't show up again except to say hello at the beginning. I don't know whether he was judging the situation or feeling guilty, but he didn't show up.
Gu Can asked softly, "Did you spend more money on this matter?"
Chen Ping'an carried the charcoal cage to keep warm. "I used to help your family fight for water at night and fetched it many times. Even after I became a kiln worker, I went back to the town to help your family with farm work whenever I had free time. It is said that
The gossip and words that came out were so unpleasant that I almost collapsed back then. The discomfort was not at all better than the pain I feel now when I have to give some extraneous things. In fact, it was even more uncomfortable. It made me feel tied up and I felt that it was neither helpful nor unhelpful.
No, it’s all wrong no matter what.”
Gu Can actually didn't care much about the gossip of these talkative women. She bumped Chen Pingan lightly with her shoulder and said, "Chen Pingan, let me tell you a secret. In fact, I always thought that you really wanted to be my father. In fact,
It’s not bad, if it were another man who dared to enter my house and see if I didn’t pee in his rice bowl or throw feces into the rice vat in his house.”
Chen Pingan's face darkened instantly and he slapped Gu Can hard on the head.
Gu Can said with a playful smile, "It's a joke, don't take it seriously."
Then Gu Can felt a little sad, "To be honest, I really don't have the slightest impression of that dad. I don't know what else to say after meeting him."
Chen Pingan sighed, "Take your time."
When they arrived at Chishuicheng, Guan Yiran personally greeted him and had a pleasant chat with Chen Pingan after they got off the ship. This surprised Tian Hujun who was staying in the cabin on the top floor.
Gu Can said goodbye to Chen Ping'an, "Don't worry, I will be back soon. Maybe you can leave Shujian Lake earlier than expected and go do your own thing."
Chen Pingan carried the charcoal cage, nodded, and watched them leave. In the Fanshi Baiyu Square in Chishui City, there was already a Xianjia ferry that Su Gaoshan personally dispatched. There was a Jindan monk sitting in it, and there were two other people.
A monk accompanying the army.
Now the entire northern part of Aquarius Continent is the territory of Dali. In fact, even if there is no Jindan Earth Immortal, there will not be much risk.
The ferry slowly took off.
Chen Ping'an withdrew his gaze, and Guan Yiran stood beside him and said with a smile, "I had only heard about you before. I knew that there was a strange accountant on Qingxia Island, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But after I found out that it was you, I recently
So I selected some Liucao Island Newspapers and some Green Wave Pavilion spies, and got to know more about it, and I have to say, this is really the stupidest method."
Chen Ping'an laughed and said, "Grind bricks to make mirrors, and accumulate snow to make food. What if it really works?"
Guan Yiran said, "But if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have the courage to write an extra letter to the general to urge him. This is not asking for credit, let alone boasting, but now I am still scared, are you?
I know the temper of our general. My oldest corps commander back then is now considered a powerful general. In addition, my current boss, who usually glares at us, is like a father-in-law meeting his son-in-law. What do you think?
Why don't you like it? When they met the general themselves, they met each other like a mouse and a cat. Each one was better at flattering than the other without blushing. So I have to ask you for a bottle or two of wine to calm down the shock.
.”
Chen Pingan laughed loudly and had a drink with Guan Yiran and several of his friends. The wine was all bought by Chen Pingan. They, the poor guys, asked Fan for a few dishes to go with the wine. Since there were
The rule is, sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, no one dares to eat or drink, so they can only take advantage of Guan Yiran. After finally catching a big bully, he plundered the wool with all his strength and was not merciless at all. A man named Yu Shan
The young and strong man in the room was also a monk accompanying the army. However, when he was in Shihao Kingdom, he was still of the same rank as Guan Yiran. Now he is a subordinate. The man complained endlessly, saying that Guan Yiran, this stinky pretty boy, is
It was a good pregnancy, but he was not convinced. Guan Yiran shook his head, smiled playfully, and said, "If you don't accept it, come and beat me."
As a result, Yu Shanfang hesitated for a long time, then he lightly punched Guan Yiran on the shoulder, then he chuckled, turned his fist into a palm, wiped it gently, and said that General Guan was the weakest, and he had the ability to kill the enemy.
It's not big. I have a lot of ability to hold grudges. How dare I do that?
Seeing the banter between them, Chen Pingan just smiled and drank.
Then Guan Yiran told an interesting story about Shihao Country.
In fact, it's an embarrassment for this group of people.
At that time, there was a pedantic old scholar on the other side of the county town who had just moved his family from the capital to the city. It was said that his family was very rich, but he had been in poverty for two generations and was no longer what he used to be. Even the stone on the other side of the county town was
None of the local officials in Hao country took it seriously. This family was unwilling to put up the door god of Da Li.
So an angry Yu Shanfang personally led troops to the door, and saw an unforgettable scene.
When Yu Shanfang talked about it, he still sighed and took a sip of wine.
That day.
An old man who is nearly blind, wearing an old green shirt that has been washed to almost gray, is sitting in the lobby. The old man is sitting there alone.
The soldiers of the Great Li could no longer be seen clearly, but the clanking of the armor and the sound of footsteps were a battlefield aura that was enough to make even the governor of Shihao Kingdom tremble with fear.
But Yu Shanfang and more than ten Dali elites didn't expect that before they could speak, the old scholar sneered in the most upright Dali Mandarin, "This is how Cui Chan taught you to conquer the world?! This is how Qi Jingchun taught you
That makes sense?! What a majestic Dali cavalry, what a Dali who has listened to the centuries-old sound of the Cliff Academy’s books!”
The old man in Confucian shirt suddenly slapped the handle of the table, opened his eyes as hard as he could, and glared angrily at the Da Li captains and soldiers, "I want to see how many years such bullshit Da Li can jump around!"
The old man stood up, stretched out his fingers, and cursed angrily at the group of armored Da Li elites.
The scolding made Yu Shanfang feel aggrieved, but in the end, including him, no one drew his sword out of its sheath, and no one even said a harsh word.
He just left the mansion and didn't allow anyone to disturb the mansion.
After Guan Yiran found out, he wrote to Su Gaoshan personally, asking if he could make an exception and allow this family not to post the door god of Da Li Yuan Cao.
In fact, Guan Yiran also felt that it was unlikely. After all, the rules of Da Li were ironclad, and no one dared to cross the line.
As a result, Su Gaoshan sent a letter back, scolding Guan Yiran, saying that Shihao Kingdom is now our great vassal. If we don't respect such scholars, how can we respect Han Jingling, that turtle son, and the Huang family?
Get rid of the trash? This matter has been settled like this. The old gentleman is allowed not to post the Dali Gate God outside his door. Once the national master is held accountable, he, Su Gaoshan, will bear the responsibility. Even if the prince is quarreled, he, Su Gaoshan,
You have to do the same thing. If you Guan Yiran has the guts, if the day comes when you are really resented by the Imperial Master, remember to say a good word to your great-grandfather. If you bother to go to the Imperial Master to say a kind word, maybe you can let the Imperial Master.
Master, please calm down.
Chen Pingan listened silently.
Guan Yiran finally leaned on the chair, looked at Chen Pingan, and said, "I think there can be more scholars like this. Chen Pingan, what do you think?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "The more, the merrier."
Guan Yiran narrowed his eyes and smiled, and raised his wine bowl, "Here, you and I are half scholars. Yu Shanfang is a gang of rough warriors who know nothing. Come on, let's go."
Chen Ping'an smiled and raised the wine bowl, and bumped it with Guan Yiran's wine bowl. There was no difference between the upper and lower wine glasses and bowls, "Then let's go one."
Yu Shanfang sighed, and also wooed the other robes, saying loudly, "We border heroes, let's go on our own, and don't pay attention to these sour scholars."
It's also the clinking of wine bowls, and the sound is clear and crisp.
In the end, they all got a little drunk. After Guan Yiran sent Chen Ping'an to the door of the mansion alone, the cold wind of winter night blew, his eyes became clearer, and he reminded softly, "As for the overall trend of Shujian Lake, at least in the near future, you
Don't get involved. Since even I can't access some of your files, I'll tell you the truth. Regarding this matter, I made a special trip to Feijian to send a message to the Jingcheng family. The reply was also very vague and full of mysteries. So what does this mean?
I know it well, it’s not that I can’t trust you, it’s just..."
Chen Ping'an had already nodded and joked, "It seems that you didn't drink enough wine before you said these words. Otherwise, except for the first sentence, you don't have to tell me the rest."
Guan Yiran slapped Chen Pingan on the shoulder, "Good guy, you said this yourself, and you owe me another drink."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "When the overall situation is decided, I will treat it as a promotion for you, and then I will treat you to a celebratory drink."
Guan Yiran smiled and nodded.
it is more than words.
Guan Yiran would also like it if Chen Ping'an visited frequently in the future, but this would involve many official taboos and would have some sequelae for both parties.
But Guan Yiran could only keep these words in his stomach, thinking that since he recognized his friend, he had to pay the price, otherwise Guan Yiran was really just greedy and covetous of Chen Ping'an's wine collection, so many mouthfuls.
Xianjia Jiu Niang? He, the future head of the Guan family, the mainstay of the Great Li Temple, will lack this? What he lacks is just friends he recognizes.
But since Chen Ping'an was able to figure out the matter from the first sentence and said "the overall situation has been decided", Guan Yiran became even happier.
For a true friend, having a good drink is a must, but life is hard to satisfy, and there are always some unhappy things there. If a friend likes you, likes you, and is willing to think about each other, then that is the best way to be true.
Well, there is no bowl in the hand, but it makes people drink wine.
The young man in cotton green robe walked slowly on the quiet and deserted street.
Guan Yiran looked at the thin back and remembered the thin and sunken cheeks.
For no reason, Guan Yiran felt a little sad, but he also felt that that friend was actually a bit cool.
Probably a real swordsman would be like this. Even during the banquet, he would drink to his heart's content. After the banquet was over, he would still walk alone.
Guan Yiran drank with many people and invited many people to drink.
But there was once a notorious Da Li Yuanying monk who was a high-ranking immortal. When he returned from the border that year, the immortal showed up in person and found him on Chier Street, saying that he wanted to buy him a drink.
, talk about something.
Guan Yiran smiled and asked, "Are you worthy?"
At that time, everyone around him felt that if Guan Yiran was too drunk, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble. Even the Guan family might have to drink a glass of wine as a penalty.
Afterwards, when he returned to the Yichi Lane residence, the great-grandfather laughed heartily and slapped the young great-great-grandson on the shoulder.
That was the second time Guan Yiran was so happy to see his great grandfather. The first time was when he decided to join the army and go to the border to become the lowest scout monk.
There are always some people who feel that status can determine whether a person can sit at certain wine tables.
Even if these people are lucky enough to sit at a certain wine table, they will only bow their heads and take the initiative to toast again and again. When they stand up to clink glasses, the glasses will be lowered again and again, making them want to lie on the ground and drink.
It's really fun and funny.
Guan Yiran held the back of his head with both hands and said with a smile, "Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. These people should also understand. After all, some are forced by life and do it as a last resort, but most of them still sharpen their heads."
, using their education, family tradition and integrity in exchange for real money, some of them will really rise to the top. But at least, at least I Guan Yiran's wine table, they can't even think about it.
Drinking at the table. In order to have less contact with these guys in the future, I should work harder, otherwise it will be my turn to toast them one day. Wouldn’t it be ruined? By then, in addition to myself and the entire Guan family, I will be ruined.
There are so many friends with whom we have had drinks together.”
Chen Ping'an, who had already left Chishuicheng, certainly couldn't guess that Guan Yiran would think so much and so far.
After returning to the ferry, I found that the Qingxia Island ferry was still waiting.
This is a reasonable thing.
Guan Yiran, whose identity is shrouded in mystery but scary enough, is enough for Tian Hujun and others to re-examine the situation.
Maybe after Huang He heard about it, he would give up the idea of treating him to a drink, because he couldn't be polite with him.
After boarding the ship, Tian Hujun said with a guilty face, "I can only watch my junior brother and aunt leave the Spring Court House. I'm sorry."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Manpower is limited, just try your best."
Tian Hujun looked at that face, especially the accountant's eyes, and didn't find any sarcasm, but she was still worried. After all, after her master Liu Zhimao had almost no chance of making a comeback, what she did was a huge loss for herself and herself.
It is true that Su Lindao tried his best to plan, but he devoted himself to his master and his junior brother... but there is no trace of it.
Chen Ping'an has changed the topic, "How to deal with it in Chunting Mansion?"
Tian Hujun smiled and said, "As long as Mr. Chen is willing, you can move in at any time."
Chen Pingan waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm used to living in the original house."
Tian Hujun said no more.
Chun Ting Mansion is the most spiritual place in Qingxia Island after Hengbo Mansion. As soon as the woman moved away, almost everyone including Yu Hui began to covet it. As for Hengbo Mansion, everyone wanted to take it into their own hands.
However, no one has that ability. Even Tian Hujun, the current talkative person in Qingxia Island, does not think he can rebuild Hengbo Mansion and take over it.
Looking for death?
As for the Spring Court Mansion, Mr. Tian Hu will definitely take it back. As for letting Chen Pingan move there, it is just a courtesy but it is clear that Chen Pingan will not agree.
It is relatively easy to deal with smart people, especially smart people who follow rules.
If Chen Ping'an hadn't appeared out of thin air and had a friend named Guan Yiran, Mr. Tianhu might still have stopped at the ferry, but he would never have greeted him in person. He would have been wasting his time here with a dead accountant.
Tian Hujun stayed with me in silence for a moment, then said goodbye and left.
Chen Pingan held the charcoal cage and nodded with a smile.
Tian Hujun looked at the haggard man's smile, and his heart rippled slightly, but he didn't think deeply about it.
Chen Ping'an turned his back to Tian Hujun, looked at the lake scenery, and wandered thousands of miles.
Jade Guizong.
It was dark under the lamp, and I really didn’t think of anything.
If it is Yu Guizong, then it involves the great battle that even my brain could not figure out before. It is really just right.
But the twists and turns here are still hidden behind the scenes.
So Guan Yiran's reminder from a bystander was very much accepted by Chen Ping'an.
It's just that in this way, many plans can only wait and see how they will change. Maybe this wait will only end in vain.
For example, formulate some new rules for Shujian Lake, such as occupying an island in Shujian Lake, specifically for ghosts and spirits, to create a mountain sect that is independent of the world and has the ability to protect itself.
Chen Pingan actually thought about it a lot, but since things are unpredictable, he can only make changes according to the situation.
The good and bad, the ups and downs, the trade-offs and gains and losses among them are not enough to explain to outsiders.
There are many things that require silence.
After returning to Qingxia Island, Chen Pingan returned to the house and burned charcoal on the stove to add some warmth to the whole house. There was not much charcoal in the bag. Chen Pingan laughed to himself. If Guan Yiran hadn't appeared, he would have wanted charcoal.
You have to ask for it from Qingxia Island, and of course you will give it to me. But now, someone will come to ask tomorrow. Does Mr. Chen need to replenish the charcoal in his house? Besides, starting from tomorrow, from my side,
There should be more visitors with familiar faces.
Chen Pingan sat behind the desk and continued to settle accounts.
Didn't sleep all night.
After dawn, Chen Pingan opened the door and took a walk to Zhu Xian Mansion. The concierge Hongsu is still working in Chun Ting Mansion. He wonders if this year, with his loss of power, the gossip of the maids in charge of the mansion will come back, or whether
Is it getting worse and worse than it was at the beginning? But it doesn't matter, it's different now. Presumably, after three or two times, the Spring Court Mansion should also have a longer memory, and the days of Hongsu should not be too difficult.
The ghost cultivator of Zhu Xian Mansion, Ma Yuanzhi, was very happy after seeing Chen Ping'an's increasingly inhuman and ghostly dignity. He had no choice but to be kind to the ghost cultivator in this matter. It involved him and Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Liu Chongrun's marriage is a major event. Young men like Chen Pingan must be more careful, lest Chen Pingan does not drink his own wedding wine one day, but instead receives a wedding invitation from Chen Pingan and Liu Chongrun.
Chen Ping'an chatted with Ma Yuanzhi for a few words and then left Zhu Xian's mansion.
Ma Yuanzhi kept smiling from ear to ear. He was so pleased with Chen Ping'an. He spoke of Mr. Chen, and he had never been so sincere.
Chen Ping'an couldn't laugh or cry, and was too lazy to continue arguing with Ma Yuanzhi.
The new concierge of Zhu Xian Mansion is a maid from Chun Ting Mansion. When she met Chen Ping'an, she was particularly warm. You must know that this is the prosperous "place of prosperity", and it was because of her attachment to Mr. Chen that she became
Being able to work as a small boss with a leisurely life in the Spring Court Mansion, Chen Ping'an was also polite to the woman, but that was it. If we talk more, what can we talk about? How many Hongsu are there in such a big Qingxia Island?
Just one.
Sure enough, as Chen Pingan guessed, several acquaintances came to Qingxia Island today to chat with him and reminisce about old times.
Chen Ping'an now copes with these things, practice makes perfect, and he is no longer as awkward and unnatural in speech as before.
It’s all gained through experience, bit by bit.
Chen Ping'an did not celebrate the New Year on Qingxia Island. He punted and left Shujian Lake. During this period, he parked the boat far away from Gongliu Island and continued on his way.
I went to Lutong City and took the horse, but unfortunately the bun shop had closed. I didn’t know whether it was unsustainable or whether it was closed during the Chinese New Year and would reopen after the Lantern Festival.
Chen Pingan spent the New Year on the road.
Right on horseback.
Leisurely and contented.
Don't think it's bitter.
It happened that on the first day of the first lunar month, we found Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi who had been waiting for a long time.
Chen Ping'an rested for a day and set off on the second day of the lunar new year. The three horses circled the border of Shujian Lake and headed south.
Finally, at the Xianjia Ferry where the ferry had stopped for a long time, Chen Ping'an said he would wait for someone here. If they couldn't wait within ten days, they would continue on their way.
After Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi practiced, they went to visit Xianjia Ferry together. There were many shops and a dazzling array of goods.
After Ma Duyi went shopping, she said she couldn't look at it anymore, otherwise the more she looked at it, the more worried she would be and she would feel that she was too poor.
Chen Ping'an gave each of Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi a small summer coin, saying that it was a New Year's red envelope.
Zeng Ye was too embarrassed to accept it and refused to accept it no matter what. Ma Duyi was not one to show false affection to Mr. Chen, and asked if he could give her the Zeng Ye one as well.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "You don't mind the money, right?"
Ma Duyi's chicken pecks at the rice.
Of course Chen Pingan didn't agree and took back the Xiaoshu money, "I'm sorry, I don't mind the money."
Zeng Ye burst out laughing and gloating about his misfortune, and Ma Duyi hit him with his elbow, which made him grit his teeth in pain.
I waited at Xianjia Ferry for nearly ten days.
That evening, a ferry had the courage to dock at the ferry. But when the monks saw the flag on the ferry, they suddenly realized.
What a shame, it's the battle flag of the great Li barbarian.
Chen Pingan led the man back to the inn. Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi looked embarrassed.
Because it's Gu Can.
Zeng Ye was simply afraid of Gu Can.
Ma Duyi was worried because it was really not a good thing for Gu Can to appear at this time.
The last wishes of many ghost objects were originally feasible for Mr. Chen. It is very likely that as soon as he sees Gu Can in person, he will regret it on the spot, and even intensify his resentment in his heart. Many of the ghost objects may directly become completely lost.
You smart ghost will have to waste Mr. Chen's talisman again.
That night, Chen Ping'an asked Zeng Ye to take the book out of the big book box and put it on the table in his room.
Gu Can was the only one in the room.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi both returned to their respective rooms, and then Ma Duyi found Zeng Ye for the first time, and the two sat together in a daze.
In the middle of the night, Chen Pingan knocked on the door gently.
After Ma Duyi quickly ran to open the door, Chen Pingan motioned for them all to sit down. After he also sat down, he said softly, "Don't worry about me. Think about it, no matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as when we first started?"
Zeng snorted.
Ma Duyi also nodded slightly.
Chen Pingan smiled and asked, "Isn't it tiring to be with someone like me?"
Zeng Ye shook his head vigorously.
Ma Duyi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm so exhausted."
Zeng Ye said timidly, "Miss Ma, how can you die?"
Chen Pingan held back his laughter.
It was a rare occasion for Ma Duyi to get frustrated with Zeng Ye, so he gave Zeng Ye a hard kick under the table.
Chen Pingan put his hands in his sleeves, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and said softly, "I'm just going to squint for a while, you don't have to worry about me."
before going to sleep.
Chen Pingan thought, wondering if the people he cares about in his hometown are okay?
In addition to my hometown of Longquan County, in this world, there are other worlds and that blessed land. Is it okay during the Spring Festival? Are there also willows everywhere and spring flowers blooming?
Chen Pingan slowly fell asleep.
Some slight snoring.
He seems really sleepy.
Zeng Ye originally thought that Ma Duyi, who loved to cause trouble with Mr. Chen, would make fun of Mr. Chen.
But when the tall boy turned his head and looked around, he found the horse girl sniffling and filled with tears.
The young man was puzzled. Mr. Chen just snored a little while sleeping. Why are you so sad, Miss Ma?
Longquan County.
There is a small house in Mubo Alley where the owner actually traveled far away and never returned.
On New Year's Eve, the new Spring Festival couplets, the characters "Fu" and the door god were meticulously posted.
Not only was there a large table of extremely sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, the cook was also a far-traveling martial artist, an older man who used chopsticks to eat vegetables, a tenth-level martial artist who had almost reached the Martial God Realm, and a white-clothed man with a divine grace.
The man is the Beiyue Zhengshen of Dali.
There is also a female ghost who lives in the remains of an immortal.
She shamelessly sat on the main seat, but she was a charcoal girl. She said that she was sitting for her master, and no one was allowed to argue. There were family rules. If the master was away, she, the founding disciple, had to stir up the rules.
In addition, there was a kid in green clothes squatting on a long bench, and a well-behaved girl in a pink skirt beside her.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the old man surnamed Cui was the first to leave the house. Wei Bo and Zhu Lian went out to travel together and strolled around the town.
There were still three "little guys" who stayed vigil around the stove together.
After dawn, firecrackers crackled outside the ancestral home in Muping Lane.
A Heitan girl with a sword on her waist crossed her arms and nodded, expressing that she was quite satisfied. The New Year atmosphere in Master's house was quite generous.
Pei Qian abided by her teacher's orders and did not just set off firecrackers all morning. Otherwise, with her temper, she would have wanted to wake up the entire town.
Pei Qian let go of the firecracker and waved his hand, "Let's go and fight!"
The girl in the pink skirt did not join in the fun, so she had to look after the house. Shi Rou was too lazy to accompany Pei Qian to fool around. After she came to Longquan County, she became closer to the girl in the pink skirt.
The little boy in Tsing Yi followed Pei Qian, hoping that the world would not be in chaos.
The boy in green, after meeting the rickety old man and the black girl for the first time, felt that as a senior expert in Luoluo Mountain, he had to have some airs, so he kept suppressing his out of character and pretended to be old-fashioned every day, which was very tiring.
It makes girls in pink skirts very uncomfortable.
Later, he discovered that the little Heitan couldn't understand what he was saying, and just stared blankly and looked stupid. He then let go of his hands and took her to play wildly, riding the black snake with golden threads on its belly, over the mountains and ridges.
.
After spending a long time with Pei Qian, the lingering melancholy and loss in the Tsing Yi boy's heart has subtly faded a bit.
As for Zhu Lian, he met the old man named Cui and was very respectful, but that was all.
In Pei Qian's eyes, it seemed that the old cook had lost his ability to flatter him as soon as he arrived in Longquan County. On the contrary, he had a good chat with the handsome and lawless mountain god, and he often visited Piyun Mountain as a guest.
Pei Qian took the boy in Tsing Yi "from house to house" in the streets and alleys, but he was very disappointed.
No opponent dared to come out to fight.
Pei Qian stamped his foot, "It's so boring!"
The kid in green clothes chuckled and said, "Isn't there still that stray dog running around? Go look for it!"
Pei Qian hesitated for a moment, "It's the first day of the first lunar month, isn't it good?"
The boy in green rubbed his chin, "That's right. Let's talk about it tomorrow?"
Pei Qian nodded.
What Pei Qian calls "fighting" is actually those big white geese that roam the alleys of the small town. They are really arrogant and bully everyone.
It's such a big alley, and everyone can go their own way, even if the water from the well doesn't interfere with the water from the river. Do you have to peck me? Don't you know that provoking a master will cost you blood and tears?
When they met on a narrow road for the first time, Pei Qian and his fierce rival battled wits and courage. Finally, Pei Qian grabbed the big white goose by the neck, spun it around in circles several times, and yelled, "Let's go."
Dizzy.
Unexpectedly, the big white goose became more and more frustrated, flapping its wings and fighting again. Pei Qian also found a trick and succeeded again and again. She picked up the snow-white goose feathers on the ground and made a shuttlecock with copper coins.
As time went by, whenever they encountered that black charcoal girl, they took the initiative to take a detour. This made Pei Qian feel a little lonely, and then a little happy. He felt that he had tasted the taste of a master who was not able to live in the cold at a high place. Thinking that he was still so young,
He has become so successful just like that. He is worthy of being Master’s first disciple. He has not brought shame to Master in his hometown!
Later, Pei Qian and the boy in Tsing Yi met a particularly wild native dog in the mountains to the west.
Is this good enough?
Pei Qian is a man with great ambitions, one of which is to hunt the wildest dogs.
Then there was a chase all over the mountains and plains.
The boy in green helped to block the road and was very happy. After that, the two guys often went to find trouble with the local dog that had become a spirit.
Poor that local dog that suffered an unreasonable disaster. Now its backer happens to be not in Longquan County, so it can only run away with its tail between its legs. The key is that even if it escapes to the top of the mountain of Longquan Sword Sect, it still cannot escape. Those two ruthless people
The little bastard rushed up the mountain. The disciples of the Immortal Master on the mountain saw it and didn't dare to care. Ruan Qiong saw it and was actually very happy and did not stop him at all. Instead, the disciples in the sect did not have to restrain those two naughty guys.
Pei Qian did not forget the etiquette. He held a hiking pole and when he saw Ruan Qiong, he cupped his fists and saluted, which was very quaint.
Ruan Qiong, who never smiled among his disciples, actually smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, saying that if he wanted to join my sect to learn swordsmanship in the future, he could do so no matter whether he was an official or not.
Pei Qian refused on the spot and reiterated that he was Master's first disciple.
She is not very afraid of this famous military sage, but is somewhat close to him. She hides a little secret here.
Because after seeing the revolving lantern of time, she firmly remembered the sister in Tsing Yi. She felt that even if it was difficult to be a master's wife, wouldn't it be okay to be a second master's wife?
Ruan Qiong laughed and said we would talk about it later, there was no rush.
But it is estimated that if he knew the inner thoughts of this little girl, he would not be able to laugh anymore.
He also angrily scolded the boy surnamed Chen. He was really a thief and a poacher, making it difficult for people to guard against him.
Pei Qian and the boy in Tsing Yi walked near Mud Bottle Alley. Pei Qian suddenly ran to the iron lock well that had lost its chain, lay down there, and looked inside.
The kid in green clothes squatted aside and asked, "What are you doing?"
Pei Qian said softly, "You all said that there are many valuable things hidden in Longquan County. I want to see if there are any treasures in there. If there are really any, wouldn't it be a fortune?"
The boy in green rolled his eyes and said, "I advise you not to think about it. It's better to talk about other places. This is now a private forbidden area. That is, I have a lot of face, so you can walk here freely without any obstruction. You didn't notice."
Are there no people from the town coming to collect water?"
Pei Qian was so disappointed that he fisted his fist and said, "What's going on? When you get to Master's hometown, you can't find even a good thing!"
The boy in green scratched his head, helpless.
Talk to Pei Qian about chance and reason, but he won't care at all. Just talk about good luck, but he will take it seriously.
She is really playing the harp to a cow, even the kid in Tsing Yi who thinks he has enough brains will feel helpless towards her.
The two sat on the mouth of the well, and the boy in green sighed.
Pei Qian asked, "What's wrong?"
The boy in green rubbed his cheek, "I wonder how my brother, the God of Rivers and Water Gods, is doing now."
Pei Qian snorted, "That's it, what else can I do? I can't live without you. I'm not telling you, you just think too much, it's useless."
The boy in green rolled his eyes.
Pei Qian crossed his arms across his chest and no longer cared about the children in green clothes. He thought about himself and said sadly, "Master, it's true that he still hasn't come back after so long."
The boy in green nodded, "This unreliable master owes me several red envelopes."
Pei Qian hesitated for a moment, turned around, and took out a few copper coins from the embroidery bag given to him by Mrs. Gui of Old Longcheng, "Just think of it as the red envelope my master gave you. Is it enough?"
The boy in Tsing Yi stared blankly at the few copper coins spread out in the palm of Pei Qian's hand. He suddenly felt sad and full of anger, but he still stretched out his hand to take the few copper coins. The mosquito legs were also meat.
But Pei Qian laughed and clenched his fists, put them back into his embroidery bag, "You're dreaming, I won't let you go with so much money."
Then Pei Qian stopped his smile and patted the kid in green on the shoulder, "It's not easy for you to be in such a miserable state and not even let go of a few copper coins. It doesn't matter, my master said something
, if the clouds open and the moon shines brightly, I send this sentence to you, am I being loyal?"
The kid in green clothes held his head and started to cry.
How are you living this miserable life?
Pei Qian lamented, he was really a young guy, so he had to take out the few copper coins again and handed them to the boy in green, "Take them."
The boy in green immediately burst into laughter.
Pei Qian shook his head angrily and lectured, "If you are blinded by money, you have no future!"
Another spring.
A woman in green and a young man in white did not return north with the large team, but jumped off the ferry at Red Candle Town.
The two then returned to Longquan County on foot.
It is Ruan Xiu and Cui Dongshan.
In a bookstore in Hongzhu Town, Cui Dongshan was so idle that he found an excuse to deliberately tease a group of guests.
One of them was so anxious that he didn't care that there was an extremely beautiful and charming girl standing next to the pretty boy. He shouted anxiously, "When I see others living well, why don't I be jealous? When I see others living miserably, why don't I be happy?
?Who are you, can you care?"
Cui Dongshan said with a smile, "Okay, okay, this is a good habit, don't change it. Don't change it. I'm not your father and mother. Why do you have such a good habit, so I am trying so hard to persuade you to change it?"
Ruan Xiu was neither bored nor interesting.
As soon as Cui Dongshan saw her taking out her embroidered handkerchief and eating cakes again, he quickly took her away and complained in a low voice, "Can you please don't eat this in front of me? As soon as you take the cakes, I will
Panic."
Ruan Xiu's eyes lit up, "You know?"
Cui Dongshan said helplessly, "After all, I am a great monk who almost didn't reach the Ascension Realm. Now I'm a little miserable, but I still have the vision, and I am the guy who knows your roots best in the world. How can I not know?"
Ruan Xiu smiled slightly.
What to do when you want to eat the real delicacies in the world but can't put it down? She thought of a little way to eat something else, which was better than nothing.
The two of them continued on their way and passed Qidun Mountain.
Stopping at the top of the mountain, Cui Dongshan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, looking to the south.
Emperor Dali was actually the late emperor.
This news is almost unstoppable, and soon everyone in the middle of Aquarius Continent will know about it.
Among the princes of the Song family of Dali, Song He is of course the one with the highest voice. The prince Song Mu, who seems to have fallen from the sky, has no roots in the government and the public. The people of the Dali sect are very secretive about this, and no one dares to leak it.
In half a word, someone may have had a slight thought, and then disappeared from the world. In the past few years in the Zongren Mansion, several elderly people could not survive the severe heat and cold, and "died" of illness at the end of their lives.
With the "untimely death" of His Majesty the Emperor.
The truth is only known among the three people. The empress who was demoted to the Changchun Palace to practice cultivation is the biological mother of the two princes, Song Changjing, the vassal king who oversees the country, and Cui Chan, the embroidered tiger of the auxiliary country.
One holds the righteousness and bloodline orthodoxy, the other is in charge of the entire Da Li army, and the other is the national advisor who has been the national policy of Da Li for hundreds of years, all by hand.
The three of them maintain a delicate balance between the court and the countryside, the mountains and the mountains.
There won't be any problems until the Zhu Ying Dynasty is conquered.
After laying it down.
There will be big trouble.
Of course, there is no doubt that the empress will do her best to favor Song He, who has been by her side since she was a child and watched her grow up. In fact, Song He can be regarded as the old bastard's disciple.
Song He, or Song Jixin, was a disciple of Qi Jingchun.
But there is only one person who really decides who can become the new emperor of Dali, the feudal king Song Changjing.
Even if he is not satisfied with supervising the country and becomes the emperor himself, the old bastard is still willing. This is one of the results of the calculations of "Xiuhu", both young and old.
But at present, it seems that Song Changjing really does not have this ambition, otherwise he would have taken off his iron armor and put on his dragon robe.
The mountain breeze is blowing, carrying the fragrance of early spring vegetation.
Cui Dongshan narrowed his eyes.
It's been eight lifetimes of bad luck. I intentionally planted flowers but they didn't bloom, but I didn't intend to plant willows to create shade. First I was at Sui Cliff Academy, but I casually chatted with my husband about vein disorders, and in the end I almost fell into that stinky way.
Cui Dongshan gave himself a big mouthful.
There is also the deeply hidden plan of Old Man Yao, and Old Man Yang is definitely not clear about the relationship, so he is even more involved.
Cui Dongshan slapped himself again.
Ruan Xiu has long been accustomed to this.
Cui Dongshan glanced at the cliff, thought about it, and decided to forget it and jump down. No one would die, but it would be embarrassing.
Cui Dongshan suddenly bared his teeth and yelled, "Old bastard, if you lose, you lose. My husband and I agree! But you shouldn't be ignorant of your conscience and talk about nonsense between gentlemen! Qi Jingchun is dead, and my husband will lose."
It's so miserable. Not only did you gain nothing in Shujian Lake, but you also suffered heavy losses. You are playing chess with a dead man. It's a gentleman's dispute, your uncle's dispute. Get out of here and let me slap you two big mouths. Look.
Let’s see if you can spit out ivory from your dog’s mouth…”
Ruan Xiu narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Cui Dongshan swallowed, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and said calmly, "The moon is really round today."
It turned out that standing next to him was an old man in Confucian robes, who was Cui Chan, the national master.
Cui Dongshan slowly turned his head and said innocently, "Why are you here? What a coincidence?"
Cui Chan sneered and said, "Why, why don't you say that we will meet you again when the flowers fall?"
Cui Dongshan broke the jar, pointed at Cui Han's nose, jumped and cursed, "Old bastard, why, you are not convinced, what did I say wrong? If you can point it out, I will give you the last name Cui, you are
My grandson!"
Ruan Xiu shook his head.
I have seen people seeking death, but it is rare to see people who dare to seek death in such different ways.
Cui Chan didn't pay attention at all. Back then, the high-rise buildings in Chishui City on the edge of Shujian Lake would still pay a little attention.
Cui Chan looked to the south, then shifted his gaze to the west, "Do you know where the real chessboard is?"
Cui Dongshan frowned and said, "Middle-earth? Is there any way for the old scholar to do that?"
Cui Chan sneered, "You are just a frog in the well now."
Cui Dongshan said "Hey, hello" and tapped Cui Han on the shoulder, "The old bastard who climbed up to the top of the well, tell me this frog at the bottom of the well?"
Cui Hanzhenyi flicked Cui Dongshan's claws away and said slowly, "The chessboard between me and Qi Jingchun is the world, the whole world. What is a smoky lake of slips?"
Even if it was Cui Dongshan, his heart would be shaken at this moment.
Ruan Xiu is too lazy not to think about this.
Cui Chan said calmly, "That's all, you just have to wait. But even you will have to wait for many years before you understand the key points of this game. Even Chen Ping'an, a person in authority, has been in power for a long time.
There is no way in this time, or even in this life, to know what he did back then."
Cui Dongshan no longer had any cynicism, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Cui Han, then I'll wait and see!"
Cui Chan disappeared in a flash.
Cui Dongshan sighed.
Continue on the road with Ruan Xiu.
The whole journey was speechless after that.
But after entering the boundary of Longquan County, it started to drizzle.
Cui Dongshan seemed to suddenly feel happy, stretched out his hand to catch the rainwater, and murmured, "Mr. Reporter has returned, the hometown of Xinghua Chunyu."
Among the mountains of Shujian Lake.
Another year of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
It took a group of people to complete the entire journey.
It's just that compared to the previous two times, there is one more Gu Can.
So the journey became slower and more difficult.
As for the conflicts with those evil cultivators and ghost cultivators, they were not painful in comparison.
The territory of Zhu Ying Dynasty is already raging with war.
On that trip, even Zeng Ye discovered something strange.
Those mountain spirits, ghosts, beasts and monsters wandering in the mountains, as long as Mr. Chen appears in front of them and has a slight change of mind, they will almost be a little afraid, and some of them are timid and will directly retreat and run away.
Gu Can also became more and more taciturn, but his eyes were firm.
During this period, Gu Can had hesitation, struggle, anger, and even had to give up twice.
Mr. Chen, who changed from a blue cotton robe to a blue shirt and back to cotton, didn't speak much. He just stood next to Gu Can. Sometimes he would talk and sometimes he would be silent.
Mr. Chen knows how to use punches and swords when facing those ghost cultivators and wild cultivators who kill people and steal wealth.
It is obvious that he has a weak body and a turbulent soul, but he punches and swords, but he is extremely fast.
Go forward indomitably.
Even the semi-immortal weapon named "Sword Immortal" has gradually become extremely docile. Every time it is unsheathed and before it returns to its sheath, it will linger around its owner and slowly flow around, like a bird clinging to someone.
It’s the end of the year.
On the way back.
Finally a heavy snow came.
This year, in the spring breeze, I return to Shujian Lake.
In a high mountain, you can vaguely see the green lake.
Gu Can suddenly said, "Chen Pingan, let me go on by myself."
Chen Pingan turned to look at Gu Can, who had firm eyes, and asked warmly, "Have you thought about it? You may die. I can accompany you for another year."
Gu Can shook his head and said, "That's enough!"
Chen Pingan rubbed his head.
Gu Can said, "But if one day, I mean if, you, Chen Ping'an, are beaten to death, I will definitely endure it first, and then kill his whole family, and dig up the graves of the eighteen generations of ancestors one by one. Anyway, that
At that time, you can't control me anymore, and you can't scold me."
Chen Pingan smiled helplessly.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were frightened when they heard this.
You know, after Gu Can decided to practice, he practiced so fast that Ma Duyi even felt that he was a cripple on the road to practice. Instead of walking, Gu Can took the Xianjia ferry directly.
Because Gu Can is now a monk in the cave realm and is about to break through the bottleneck.
Chen Ping'an parted ways with Gu Can and the others and rode alone, saying that he would keep going north and might take the Xianjia ferry someday to return to Longquan County as quickly as possible.
One person and one rider.
After passing the border of Shujian Lake, we entered the territory of Shihao Kingdom.
Passers-by often see a knight-errant in a green shirt with a sword on his back. The man and the horse are almost as thin as bamboo poles, but the young man riding the horse has shining eyes.
After that, Chen Pingan stopped riding and headed north slowly.
The skinny horse soon gained strength, but its owner was still so thin.
On this day, Chen Pingan led his horse along a dirt road and passed an endless field of rapeseed flowers.
Chen Ping'an stopped, and the horse also stopped its hooves almost at the same time.
Chen Pingan was sitting on the ridge of the field, with horses wandering beside him.
Chen Pingan scratched his head, took off the sword gourd, took a sip of wine, and then held the sword gourd in his hand, "Mr. Qi, you are really gone. I thought I could see you again."
Chen Pingan laughed.
Well, seeing myself in such a miserable state, it’s hard to say that I can’t even be Mr. Qi’s younger brother, right?
There once was a snowy night one year on the cliff path.
After a white man took his maid and separated from the young man, he cut off one of the maid's tails.
On the plank road, a middle-aged Confucian scholar with slightly white temples appeared, waiting with a smile.
At that time, Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Well, I wanted to find you, but you didn't show up and gave up hope. Instead, you came by yourself."
The big fox demon who looked like a woman in palace attire was very timid and took the initiative to stay away from the two of them, creating a large distance between them.
Before the Confucian scholar in green shirt separated from Bai Ze, he gently handed a ball of water condensed from the essence of water transport to Bai Ze, and said with a smile, "A few years later, maybe two or three years, maybe four or five years, the specific time,
I don’t dare to say for sure now, so I can trouble Mr. Bai to take a look at it if you have nothing to do. After seeing it, Mr. Bai will make a decision."
Bai Ze was slightly confused, but still nodded in agreement and took the gadget.
Because this Confucian scholar is Qi Jingchun.
When they arrived at the Middle-earth Divine Continent, on the bank of the river near Baidi City, Bai Ze said to the Grand Priest of Liji Academy, "I want to see it again."
On that lonely island offshore.
After watching Zhao Yao leave.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar handed the most proud scholar in the world a bowl of water and said with a smile, "Sir, you are extremely disappointed in the world, so I will make a bet with you."
The scholar smiled and said, "Others can't, but I can make a bet with you, Qi Jingchun."
Therefore, after Qi Jingchun left, the scholar could not see the great sacrificial wine of the Yasheng lineage.
He also has to wait and see.
In the end, there was the last reunion and the last farewell in Caiyi Country.
Qi Jingchun smiled and said to a young man, I will give you one last boxing match.
The boy punched.
Qi Jingchun stood aside, punching leisurely, and said slowly in his heart, "Junior brother, thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry that I personally put such a big burden on your shoulders."
At that moment, the boy just punched sadly.
Little did he know that Mr. Qi, whom he respected the most, was bursting into tears and full of guilt.
This spring.
Middle Earth Divine Continent.
Bai Ze left the Xiongzhen Tower and took the initiative to come to the Confucian Orthodox Confucian Temple.
The most proud scholar in the world travels far and wide with a sword, and he is also unparalleled in style. No matter how good a swordsman you are in the world, no one can beat him.
In Aquarius Island, there was a young man who fell asleep while sitting on a horse.
The flowers on the mountain are blooming again, and Mr. slowly returns home... (https:)
