On the first floor of the Bamboo House, a row of ancient shelves has been placed. The wood is elegant and well-proportioned. There are many grids and few treasures.
Chen Pingan wanted to take out objects from the small and close objects to decorate the appearance, but Chen Pingan was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, Chen Pingan has seen and handled a lot of good things after traveling far away for so many years, but it seems that except for Lu Taiwan purchased the gifts from Fuji Zong Huantian Jieran, Wu Yi gave gifts in Ziyang Mansion, plus the painting of ladies purchased by Chen Ping'an at Yuanwei Street in Chishui City, and several items given by the old shopkeeper as lottery gifts It seemed that there were not many small items left in the end. The family's financial resources were thinner than Chen Ping'an imagined. Every treasure was like a leaf of duckweed swirling in the water.
Chen Ping'an recalled for no reason the pass on the border between Shihao Kingdom and Meigla Kingdom, "Liu Liu Pass". It was named Liu, but in fact nothing could be left there.
Some are temporarily borrowed from others, such as the ancestral nectar armor "Huashan" on Wei Xian's body, the narrow knife Zingxue on Lu Baixiang's waist, the Chixin sword on Sui's right back, and the "I am good at cultivating Haoran Qi" jade on Wei Bo's hand. Cards, the two hell palaces of Hell and the imitation Liuli Pavilion on Gu Can's side, etc.
Most of them were given away directly, such as the City God's Xianyou Boyin from Rouge County of Caiyi Country. Who among the people in Luopo Mountain and Cliff Academy had not received gifts from Chen Pingan? Not to mention these acquaintances, even Shi At the dog meat shop in Hao Country, Chen Pingan was able to give away a small summer coin, and in the mountains and forests beside the Chunhua River in Plum Glaze Country, Chen Pingan even paid and gave medicine. Earlier, on Osmanthus Island, there was also a dog to feed a dog. There are countless handfuls of snake gallstones thrown into the water by young dragons.
Chen Ping'an laughed at himself: "I was so proud when I gave it away, but I feel heartbroken when I think about it afterwards."
After thinking about it, Chen Pingan rubbed his chin and nodded secretly: "What a poem!"
The little lotus figure was originally sitting on the table to rest. After hearing Chen Ping'an's words, he immediately fell back and lay on the ground with only one small arm left. He slapped his belly vigorously and laughed continuously.
Seeing the little guy's lively and cute appearance, Chen Ping'an was also very happy.
In Luopo Mountain, Chen Ping'an found it pleasant to hear anything as long as it wasn't flattery.
Chen Pingan stretched out a finger and gently scratched the little guy's squeaky nest. The little guy rolled all over the floor. In the end, he still couldn't escape Chen Pingan's play. He had to sit up quickly, sitting upright, puffing out his cheeks, leaving only One arm shook slightly and pointed at a stack of books on the desk, as if he wanted to tell the young master that the desk was not a place for playing.
Chen Pingan stopped with a smile.
Take out some belongings from the square and near objects and place them one by one on the table.
Now his possessions are just less than expected. Chen Ping'an's family fortune is still quite good. Not to mention the mountain top income, he is carrying a sword fairy at the moment. This is not the mosquito leg meat chopped off by the Fu family in Old Dragon City, but the real deal. A semi-immortal weapon.
The robe and golden wine peeled off from the old Jiaolonggou Nascent Soul Jiao was originally a relic of an immortal who practiced Taoism overseas. The unknown immortal could not ascend, so he had to be reincarnated. The golden wine did not disappear with it, and was a kind of spiritual treasure in itself. Proof, so Chen Pingan was not too surprised to learn that Jin Li could grow into a semi-immortal weapon by eating gold essence copper coins.
A mutilated walnut bracelet, each core is equivalent to a fatal blow from an ordinary golden elixir.
Wearing a light green robe, it did not reach the level of a magic weapon, but Chen Pingan liked it very much. He always felt that the golden white robe of the robe was more eye-catching than the snow.
Walnut skewers and green robes should also be carried with you when going to Luzhou in Beiju.
There are many objects on the table.
The two seals are still placed in the middle, surrounded by stars.
Chen Ping'an began to settle accounts silently. It would definitely not work if he did not repay his debts.
Zhu Lian once said something from experience, saying that borrowing money is the most important test of friendship. There are often many so-called friends who lend money, but friends cannot do it. But there will always be one or two,
If you borrow money, you will pay it back. Zhu Lian also said that there are two types of repayment, one is to pay it back when you have the money, and one is to pay it back temporarily, which may be more valuable. Even if it is not paid for the time being, you will say hello again and again.
, don’t hide, wait until you have enough money, and pay it back. During this period, if you urge them, they will feel guilty and apologize, and they will not complain in their hearts.
Zhu Lian said that the last kind of friends can stay with each other for a long time. Being friends for a lifetime will never be too long because they miss each other and are grateful.
At that time, Chen Ping'an smiled and asked Zhu Lian, "Do you plan to borrow money? And you won't pay me back for a while?"
Zhu Lian bowed his head, rubbed his hands, and said that the young master is really a scholar and a man of nature, who can predict the future.
The rickety old man really shamelessly borrowed some snow from Chen Pingan to spend money, only ten in fact, saying that he wanted to build a private library behind the house.
Of course Chen Pingan borrowed it. He was a traveling warrior who was involved in the existence of a country's martial arts to a certain extent. He borrowed ten pieces of snow from someone to spend money, and he still needed to nudge him for a long time. Chen Pingan did everything for Zhu Lian.
I'm sorry, but I agreed that the ten pieces of snow would be ten pieces, and there wouldn't be any more.
Chen Ping'an requested that after Zhu Lian built the library, it must be a forbidden area in Luopo Mountain, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without authorization.
Zhu Lian agreed. Chen Pingan estimated that the bookshop business in Longquan County would be booming for a while.
The little lotus figure was still playing with the objects there, arranging them neatly one by one. Chen Ping'an didn't even know who the little guy followed this habit.
Chen Pingan was busy with it, minding his own business.
The secret warehouse on Qingxia Island and Liu Chongrun on Zhuchai Island both owed money.
But the real big expenditure is destined to be the Zhoutian Dajiao and the Water and Land Dojo organized jointly with Gu Can. If they really let go, they can become two bottomless pits, and it is definitely not a matter of a few Grain Rain coins.
If it is an ordinary monarch of a small country or a wealthy man who sets up a large altar and a Taoist temple, most of the Taoist monks he invites are not practitioners. Even if there are, they are only few, so the expense is not too big.
One or two games can be held from tens to hundreds of thousands taels, even if it costs 500,000 taels of silver, converted into snow money, it is five Xiaoshu coins and half Guyu coins. In any Aquarius Island
For small vassal states, this is a grand event that has not been seen in decades.
But when it comes to Taoist cultivators, especially those who hire earthly immortals to be in charge, they have to deal with the old immortals from famous Taoist temples in various places. Even if they are kind-hearted and Bodhisattva-hearted, they will say "whatever" with a smile or "give it to me".
, then Chen Pingan and Gu Can really dare to be "casual" when paying for money? Moreover, before Chen Pingan left Shujian Lake, he had discussed with Gu Can that the two ritual ceremonies should be large rather than small, and they must ensure that there is no prestige.
Generations, take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, otherwise it will not be a waste of the gods' money, but a delay in the good fortune and reincarnation of those ghosts and ghosts.
Therefore, within two years, Gu Can will hold two rituals one after another. It will be an extremely labor-intensive and eye-sight-testing event that requires a lot of patience.
This is also a kind of training that Chen Ping'an has given Gu Can. Since he has chosen to correct his mistakes, he will embark on an extremely difficult and bumpy road.
Back then, in the mountains south of Shujian Lake, demons were rampant, evil cultivators were infested, and miasma was rampant. But what was even more unbearable than this was the hell beast Gu Can was carrying on his back, and the farewells one after another. Gu Can had
I almost gave up after two times.
Correcting a mistake doesn't mean saying "I know it's wrong" and then just walking a long way and spending some fairy money. Then I can feel at ease and feel like I have done some great feats and good deeds.
There has never been such a good thing in the world!
However, Chen Ping'an actually knew that Gu Can had not gone from one extreme to the other. Gu Can's character was still wavering. It was just that he suffered a lot in Shujian Lake and almost died from starvation. So now
Gu Can's state and mood are somewhat similar to Chen Pingan's when he first walked around the world. He was imitating the people closest to him, but it was just a way to deal with others. He saw it in his eyes, thought about it, and used it for his own purposes. His character changed, but not too much.
.
Gu Can is generally still the same Gu Can.
It's just that I understand the weight of the word "rules" better.
Chen Pingan stood up and hung the sword on the wall.
Chen Ping'an came to the eaves outside the house, and sat on a small bamboo chair with the lotus figure each. The material was ordinary, but after so many years, the original emerald green color has turned yellow.
Chen Ping'an sat there and began to take a nap. Inside and outside the bamboo building, it was warm in spring and cool in summer. All year round, even ordinary people with weak bodies would not have to worry about catching cold or heatstroke if they sat here for a long time. It was better than Cui Dongshan in Cliff Academy.
That courtyard is even more magical.
I have to practice boxing again tomorrow.
In a daze, it seemed that in the distance, in a filthy place filled with ghosts and ghosts, I vaguely saw a flower blooming and swaying.
Chen Pingan did not wake up, but fell into a deep sleep.
The little lotus figure sat on the edge of the chair next door, raised his head, shook his legs gently, and saw Chen Pingan with a smile on his face, as if he had dreamed of something beautiful.
The rising sun rises in the east, and soon the sky will glow thousands of miles away.
The bamboo building shook, and Chen Pingan, who had been sleeping on a chair for the whole night, suddenly woke up.
I took off my boots, rolled up my sleeves and trousers, and climbed up to the second floor.
Arriving outside the house on the second floor, Chen Ping'an paused briefly, lowered his gaze, and turned to look.
Cui Dongshan must have been sitting here at that time without entering the room. With his youthful appearance and temperament, he finally reunited with his grandfather after a hundred years.
The two sat across from each other, and no one knew what they said.
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to step into the house, he suddenly said: "I'll say hello to Shi Rou and come back as soon as you go."
The barefooted old man ignored it and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Chen Pingan jumped down from the second floor without putting on his boots. He quickly arrived at a place where several mansions were built adjacent to each other. Zhu Lian and Pei Qian had not returned yet, leaving only Shi Rou who lived in seclusion.
, and Cen Yuanji who had just gone up the mountain. They didn’t see Shi Rou, but they saw Cen Yuanji first. The tall girl must have just returned from a walk to enjoy the scenery. When she saw Chen Pingan, she was coquettish and hesitated to speak. Chen
Ping An nodded in greeting and went to knock on the door of Shi Rou's house. After Shi Rou opened the door, he asked: "Is there something wrong, Master?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "When Pei Qian came back, he told her that I wanted her to go to Qilong Lane to look at the shops, and you should come with me. And remind me that she is not allowed to lead Qu Huang to the town. She is so forgetful.
I can't remember anything because I'm so crazy. Keep an eye on her copying books. And if Pei Qian wants to go to a private school, it's the one run by Chen's family in Longweixi. If Pei Qian is willing, let Zhu Lian go.
Say hello to the county government and see if there are any conditions required. If you don’t need anything, that’s better.”
Shi Rou agreed and hesitated for a moment, "Sir, can I stay in the mountain?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If you really don't want to deal with outsiders, that's fine, but I suggest you get more accustomed to the small world of Longquan County and go to the Martial Temple more. A little further away, there is the Tiefu River Water God Temple.
In fact, you can visit any temple, and it’s always good to have a familiar face. Your roots are thin, and paper can’t cover up the fire. Even if Wei Bo doesn’t say it, there are many capable people and strangers in Dali, and sooner or later someone with a heart will be caught.
If you see through it, you might as well take the initiative to show up. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I will not force you to do what you do in the end."
Shi Rou smiled a little, nodded and said: "Then slave, give it a try."
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "In the future, you must never call yourself a slave in front of outsiders. When others look at you and me, their eyes will look wrong. Maybe the first thing Luopo Mountain will be famous for is that I have quirks. Longquan County
It doesn’t matter if it’s big or not, it’s just a small place. Once word spreads, even if our reputations are ruined, I can’t explain it one by one.”
Shi Rou suppressed a smile and said, "Young master is very thoughtful and has learned a lesson."
Chen Ping'an became even more helpless and quickly waved his hand, "Luolu Mountain has no shortage of your flattery."
Shi Rou acted naturally, covering her mouth and smiling.
Chen Pingan lamented in his heart and returned to the bamboo tower.
Because not far from the house, a girl who looked like she was walking but was secretly looking at the place had goosebumps all over her body. Cen Yuanji crept away and hurried away. He always felt that he had witnessed some incredible truth. After closing the door
, Cen Yuanji patted his chest gently and murmured: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's good this way, I probably won't have any ill intentions toward you."
The girl felt miserable in her heart. She thought that after moving away from her hometown in Gyeonggi Province, she would no longer have to deal with those terrible powerful men. She never thought that the Fairy Mansion, which she had longed for when she was a child, met such a young and unlearned mountain master again.
After arriving at Luo Po Mountain, Elder Zhu didn't like to mention anything about the young mountain master. He allowed her to make insinuations and just talk about good things. How could she dare to take them seriously? As for the charcoal girl named Pei Qian,
She came and went without a shadow, and it was difficult for Cen Yuanji to say a word to her.
Inside the second floor.
When Chen Pingan stood still, the barefoot old man opened his eyes, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Before practicing boxing, let me introduce myself. My name is Cui Cheng, and I was the head of the Cui family."
Chen Pingan was a little surprised.
This is the first time for an old man to register his own number.
The old man said slowly: "The gentleman Cui Minghuang, the young man who came to Lizhu Cave to collect debts on behalf of Guanhu Academy. According to the genealogy, this boy should call Cui Chan uncle. His lineage was once the Cui family's side house.
Now he is the eldest son. My lineage has been expelled from the Cui family due to my reckless husband. All the descendants of this lineage have been removed from the genealogy. They will live in different ancestral halls and die in different graves. This is the pain of a wealthy family.
It's so great. The reason why I've fallen to this point is because I once lost my mind and wandered in the streets for more than a hundred years. I really need to settle this account with martial arts. It's very simple. Go to Cui's ancestral hall, which is just one or two punches.
But if it’s me, Cui Cheng, or my grandson Cui Chan or Cui Dongshan, as long as they consider themselves scholars, it will be very difficult because the other party cannot find fault with the family rules.”
Chen Pingan nodded to express his understanding.
In the long history of the Ouhua Blessed Land, in the history of the Songlai Kingdom, there was once a very powerful and powerful official. Because he was the son of a commoner, he had a dispute with the local family over the spiritual status and genealogy of his biological mother. He wanted to
I discussed it with my elder brother, who had no official status, and wrote several letters home to my hometown. The words were sincere. At first, my brother ignored him. Later, he probably got annoyed by his younger brother, who was an official in the capital. He finally replied with a letter and directly rejected it.
The chief minister's proposal was very rude in the letter. One of the sentences was, "You can take care of world affairs as you please, but you are not qualified to take care of household affairs." The senior official was not able to get what he wanted until his death.
At that time, the entire officialdom and scholars agreed with this "little rule."
So why didn't Cui Cheng show up in the family and punch the ants in the ancestral hall? The chief minister of the Ouhua Blessed Land didn't directly use the public weapon for private use, and forced him to press the cow to drink water with a piece of paper?
You can obviously do it, but you haven't broken this seemingly fragile rule?
Chen Pingan thought briefly.
This is probably one of the fundamental connections between Cui Cheng and the fact that Cui Cheng is able to reach a state that no one has before him, and that the chief assistant can be at the top of the temple.
Once Chen Ping'an makes up his mind, he really wants to create a sect in Luolu Mountain. It can be said to be extremely complicated, but it can also be relatively simple.
, slow and correct, steady, go up.
All require Chen Pingan to think more, learn more, and do more.
Cui Cheng suddenly said: "This kid Cui Minghuang is not simple. Don't underestimate him."
Chen Pingan was speechless.
What qualifications does he have to "look down upon" an academy gentleman?
The sage from Guanhu Academy was very good at Zhou Ju, and Chen Ping'an had already experienced it at Shushui Villa.
And Tongyezhou Zhongkui was also an academy gentleman back then.
Cui Minghuang is known as the "little king watching the lake".
He is one of the two most outstanding gentlemen of Aquarius Academy.
In accordance with the agreement with the Great Li Imperial Master and his great uncle, Cui Minghuang would have left Guanhu Academy in a fair and just manner, and as a gentleman of the academy, would have served as the deputy mountain master of Linlu Academy in Great Li.
The first mountain master of the academy should have been the old Jiao who appeared as the old minister of Huang Tingguo, plus a native Dali scholar, one principal and two assistants, and the three mountain masters were all transitional. When Lin
If Deer Academy obtains the title of one of the seventy-two academies, Cheng Shuidong will step down as the mountain master, and the old scholar of Dali will be unable and unwilling to fight for it.
Cui Minghuang will follow the trend and become the next mountain master.
In this way, the reputation of Guanhu Academy has gained. Naturally, most of it still falls into the hands of Cui Han. Cui Minghuang, the chess piece that he had long conspired with, got the coveted master of the Academy. After all, this is heaven.
A great honor is almost the ultimate for a scholar. What's more, as long as Cui Minghuang is in Dali Longquan, with Cui Han's calculation ability, if Cui Minghuang has more "lofty ambitions", most of them can only be in Cui Minghuang.
He teaches and educates people under his nose, and he behaves like a teacher.
However, the situation changed unpredictably later, and many directions were even beyond the expectations of the national advisor Cui Chan.
For example, the Great Li imitation of Bai Yujing almost became a short-lived joke in the world. The late emperor Song Zhengchun suffered a heavy blow. The Great Li cavalry went south in advance. Cui Chang's many plans in the central part of Aquarius Island also kicked off. Viewing the Lake
The academies worked tit for tat and sent many gentlemen and sages to visit the palaces of various countries in person to rebuke the kings of the world, or to settle the chaos in various countries.
Especially the crash of the Dajiao Mountain cross-continental ferry in the Zhuying Dynasty, and the emergence of Xie Shi, the Heavenly Lord of Luzhou in Beiju, to put pressure on Guanhu Academy behind Zhuying, not only arousing the anger of the monks in Yizhou, but also
As soon as Guanhu Academy and the Song family of Dali were completely separated, Cui Minghuang could only stay in the academy and could not serve as the deputy mountain master of Linlu Academy. It is said that this gentleman has devoted himself to the study in these years.
His knowledge has not been wasted at all, and he is highly praised by everyone in the academy.
Chen Pingan was a little strange.
During this boxing practice, the senior seemed to be in no hurry to "teach him how to behave".
In the past, he always went straight forward, punching to the flesh. It seemed that watching Chen Pingan live and die was the old man's greatest pleasure.
Today we actually started with small talk, and we chatted a lot.
Cui Cheng didn't have an awkward temperament. Although it didn't suit his temper, he took the initiative to mention Pei Qian's martial arts training for the second time and asked: "I just want to give Pei Qian a carefree life."
years?"
It's really a pity that Pei Qian's qualifications were so good that he wasted them.
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, "Some of the adults' unintentional words may have been forgotten after they were spoken, but the child may always keep them in mind, not to mention the intentional words of the seniors."
Cui Cheng frowned.
There is something in the words.
Naturally, he complained about what he said earlier about deliberately stabbing Pei Qian. This is nothing. But Chen Pingan's attitude is worth pondering.
Chen Pingan seems to be deliberately avoiding Pei Qian's martial arts practice. To put it nicely, he is letting nature take its course; to put it unpleasantly, it seems to be that he is worried that the young will outperform the old. Of course, Cui Cheng is familiar with Chen Pingan's temperament and is by no means
He was worried that Pei Qian would catch up with his half-baked master in martial arts. Instead, he was worried about something, such as worrying that a good thing would turn into a bad thing.
Cui Cheng said displeasedly: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Chen Pingan was about to speak but stopped.
Cui Cheng chuckled and said, "It's okay if you don't say anything now. I'll have my own way to make you speak up."
Chen Ping'an was adamant, "What's the strategy? If senior doesn't care about the disparity in realm, I can say it now. But if senior is willing to compete in the same realm, wait until I lose."
Cui Cheng said: "Then you can say it now. When I see you looking like you need a beating, my hands are itchy and I probably can't control the strength of my fists."
Chen Pingan scolded his mother endlessly in his heart.
This time when he returned home, faced with Zhu Lian's "fist feeding", deep down in his heart, Chen Ping'an's only reliance was to learn from each other in the same situation, hoping that he could vent his anger and hit the old guy hard.
After a few punches, it doesn't matter whether he will be beaten worse in the future. You can't go from the third realm to the fifth realm and practice boxing again and again. In the end, you won't even touch a corner of the old man's clothes.
Chen Pingan sighed and told the old man about the strange dream.
This is the first time Chen Pingan has confided this matter to others.
The old man was silent.
Chen Pingan asked: "Can the old timers help interpret dreams? Or according to the old saying in our hometown, dreams come in reverse?"
The old man sneered and said: "Well, it's another big worry. One is afraid of death, and the other is afraid of his own incompetence. How come, Chen Ping'an, after walking a long distance, his courage is getting weaker and weaker?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It is because I have seen more of the world that I know that in the world outside, there are many experts, and every mountain is as high as the next. It's not that I look down on myself, but I can't be arrogant. I really think that I have worked hard in practicing boxing and swordsmanship.
Then you can win every battle against anyone, and when your manpower will eventually be exhausted..."
The old man looked disgusted and sneered: "You are beyond stupid!"
Chen Pingan sincerely asked for advice, "Senior, please speak."
The old man stood up in an instant. Chen Ping'an still felt his heart, but his hands and feet were slower than his heart. Just like when he was making porcelain and drawing blanks, his hands and palms were not consistent, so he often made mistakes.
It wasn't that Chen Ping'an was too "slow" in getting up, but that a martial artist at the top of the Tenth Realm was too fast.
Chen Ping'an had no choice but to raise his arms in front of him, but Cui Cheng still kneeled him on the forehead. His whole body flew up high, hit the wall, fell down, and was kicked by the old man again.
His abdomen was kicked so hard that it hit the ceiling, and he fell heavily to the ground. Finally, he was kicked in the forehead by the old man. Chen Pingan's body instantly slipped out and hit the wall. He vomited blood and was unable to fight back.
Really vindictive.
A sneak attack with a knee strike, this was Chen Ping'an's approach before.
Cui Cheng crossed his arms across his chest, stood in the middle of the room, and said with a smile: "If you don't pay a price for my good words, I'm afraid you won't know how precious they are and won't be able to remember them."
Chen Pingan stood up and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Cui Cheng asked: "If there is a certain destiny in the world, how can Pei Qian escape because he is lazy in martial arts? Only the strongest martial artist can fight with God! You have been wandering around in the Ouhua Paradise for so long.
, who claims to have seen the flow of time for three hundred years, what kind of nonsense did he learn? You don’t understand this?!”
Chen Ping'an didn't use his eyes to catch the old man's figure. In an instant, his mind was immersed in it, entering the mysterious and mysterious realm of "no one in front of him, only caring about himself". He stepped heavily on the ground and punched out to where there was no one.
However, Cui Cheng casually threw away this punch, and his chest seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. Chen Ping'an's back was pressed against the wall, his elbows were pressed against it, and the sudden force from the loose fist frame was like a bow string tightened.
Suddenly exerting force, he swept towards the old man with a body that was faster than his retreating speed. Unexpectedly, he hit the muzzle of a gun and hit the old man's neck with his arm, directly throwing Chen Ping'an to the floor. The force was so great
, so that Chen Pingan's body bounced on the ground several times until the old man stepped on his forehead.
The old man looked down at Chen Ping'an, who was bleeding from his orifices, "It's a bit trivial. Unfortunately, the strength is too small, the punches are too slow, the spirit is too shallow, there are flaws everywhere, the punches are flawless, and you dare to confront me head-on? I'm really not afraid of this little girl playing tricks.
Break your waist!"
Chen Pingan slapped his hands on the ground, turned his body upside down, put his feet in the air, his head slipped out of the old man's soles, propped himself on the ground with his hands, and spun suddenly, barely escaping the old man's understatement of a whip.
Unexpectedly, the old man raised his sleeves slightly, and a fist hit Chen Ping'an, who was facing the enemy with a sky and earth pile. It rolled like a snowball in the air and fell on the north door and window of the bamboo building.
The old man did not pursue him and asked casually: "Did you talk to Wei Bo about the site selection of the new Five Mountains in Dali?"
Chen Pingan struggled to get up and shook his head, "I have thought about it, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Da Li Tou and other confidential matters do not dare to be leaked casually. If you are friends with Wei Bo, you can't sell your students in exchange for favors."
"What's more, the barberry tree is now very strong in the wind, and it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows, so it is better to be careful."
Cui Cheng still stood where he was, nodding his head and saying: "It's your own family affairs, things you can do and things you can't do, you can do it and see. When you talk about right and wrong, and when you can't say something, it's best not to say it."
Chen Pingan silently remembered these two old sayings of an old man in his heart. Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure that cannot be replaced by a thousand pieces of gold.
Cui Cheng shouted loudly, "How dare you be distracted during a fist fight?!"
Chen Ping'an seemed to be distracted, but in fact, he used the secret technique of the Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi to transform pure Qi. He forced out half a mouthful of Qi, and after being punched by the old man, he endured the loss of his soul.
Feeling the severe pain, he gritted his teeth and punched loudly. The fist turned into two fingers, and it was only an inch away from hitting the old man's eyebrows.
The old man reached out and held Chen Pingan's two fingers, pulled and kicked him, causing Chen Pingan to fly into the air. Then he took a few steps, changed his position, such as squatting on a horse, tilted his shoulders, and bumped into Chen Pingan who had landed on the ground.
With a bang, Chen Pingan felt sorry for the wall of the bamboo building again. In the end, he could only lean against the wall. He really couldn't stand up. That half breath of true energy was a desperate way to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself. What's more?
After confronting the old man, he only suffered 800 losses.
The old man rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "One thing to say, you are not worthless now. When you were in the Three Realms, you could only be described as stupid when you punched, but you didn't have the brains you have today.
It seems that the more punches you take, the better your brain will become."
Chen Ping'an had no expression on his face and wiped his face. His hands were covered in blood. Compared with the torture that his body and soul suffered all those years ago, this injury, scratching and itching, was really a trivial matter.
Chen Pingan leaned his back against the wall and stood up slowly, "Come again."
The old man smiled and asked: "One last question for you. Are you so afraid of death? Do you cherish your life when you have money, are you unwilling to die, or do you think you can't die?"
Chen Pingan took the opportunity to switch to pure Qi and asked: "Is there any difference?"
The old man had already punched him, "It makes no difference, they are all beaten."
After Pei Qian and Zhu Lian went to Niujiao Mountain to deliver the letter, she had just become very familiar with the Quhuang. After discussing with it, they would become friends. In the future, they would be able to travel around the world during the day and go home for dinner at night.
It depends on whether its leg strength will help. The better its leg strength, the bigger her world will be. Maybe she can go back and forth between Luolu Mountain and the small town. As for the so-called discussion, it is just Pei Qian leading the horse and walking alone.
He was chattering there, and every time he asked me, he would say, "If you don't say anything, I will treat you as if you agreed." At most, he would give a thumbs up and praise, "As expected of my friend Pei Qian, he will always answer my questions.
Say no, good habits should be maintained."
Zhu Lian had an expression on his face as he picked out a piece of fly droppings from the bowl.
As a result, as soon as she returned to Luopo Mountain, Shi Rou repeated Chen Ping'an's instructions.
Pei Qian had no choice but to say goodbye to Qu Huang Yiyi and followed Shi Rou down the mountain to the small town.
The New Year's Eve shop in Qilong Lane has remained the same except for the old pastry chef, who still managed to stay after increasing the price. In addition, a group of people have changed in the shop, including a young girl.
After getting married, another girl found a better job. She worked as a maid in a wealthy family in Taoye Lane. She was very leisurely. She often came back to sit in the shop and always said that the family was good.
At the corner of the alley, you treat your servants like your own younger relatives. It is really a blessing to be a maid there.
There was also a woman who found two ancestral treasures that had been ignored for generations. She became rich overnight, moved to a new county town, and visited the shop twice.
Miss Ruan Xiu was showing off. After getting along for a long time, the woman was not deeply impressed by Master Ruan’s only daughter and the unreachable Longquan Sword Sect. She only felt that that girl was indifferent to everyone.
It was unpleasant, especially for Ruan Xiu, who was caught red-handed by a small move. She was very embarrassed, and the woman complained endlessly, "You are just a yellow-flowered girl, and you are not one of Shopkeeper Chen's. You don't have any status. You are here all day long."
Staying here in the shop, pretending to be the landlady or something?
Compared to the fragrant New Year's shop, Pei Qian still prefers the nearby Caotou shop, with rows of tall treasures filled with antiques and miscellaneous items that the Sun family changed hands in those days.
However, when Sister Ruan Xiu was in charge of the family, she sold some objects that were called spiritual weapons by the monks on the mountain at high prices. After that, they were no longer available for sale. There were mainly a few items that were secretly sealed up by Sister Ruan Xiu.
He took Pei Qian to the "hand eye" in the back warehouse, and explained that these items were all top-notch goods, the treasures of the store, and could only be moved out if he met a big customer and took advantage of him in the future, otherwise he would be in trouble with Qian.
Pei Qian was overjoyed at that time. It was an unexpected surprise. He smiled from ear to ear. Sister Ruan looked at her and thought it was funny, so she gave Pei Qian a cake. It was Ruan Xiu.
The first time he gave her pastries, Pei Qian was about to ask for them, but Ruan Xiu would not refuse as long as he had them.
Today, Pei Qian put a small stool behind the counter and stood there, just enough for her head to "surface", as if... there was a head placed on the counter.
As for Pei Qian, he feels more like a mountain king patrolling his own small territory.
Shi Rou stood next to Pei Qian. The counter was indeed a bit high, and she was only slightly better off than Pei Qian who was standing on the bench.
Shi Rou was a little strange. Pei Qian obviously relied on that master, but he still went down the mountain obediently and came here to wait quietly.
Shi Rou couldn't help but ask: "Pei Qian, aren't you worried that your master made mistakes in his boxing training?"
Pei Qian still stood there motionless, staring intently, as if she was playing a game of who is the wooden man. She just moved her lips slightly, "I'm worried, but I can't do anything, so I have to pretend not to worry, so that Master won't worry that I will
Worry."
Shi Rou stretched out her fingers and rubbed her eyebrows. According to Zheng Dafeng's mantra, her head hurt.
Pei Qian sighed and still looked forward, "Sister Shirou, do you think you are living alone in someone else's house and that person is not your friend? Do you need to give me money?"
It's hard to speak, and even more confusing to listen to.
Shi Rou asked in confusion: "What did you say?"
Pei Qian sighed and said, "Sister Shirou, you can copy books with me from now on. We will have a companion."
Shi Rou couldn't laugh or cry, "Why should I copy the book?"
Pei Qian said seriously: "Copying books makes people smart."
Shi Rou realized later and finally figured out that Pei Qian's statement of "living in other people's homes" was a metaphor for living in the immortal's remains given by her master.
Shi Rou stretched out her fingers, wanting to imitate Chen Ping'an and flick the little girl's forehead.
As a result, the pretender looked at Pei Qian in front of him and dodged the lightning, then returned to his original state without even glancing at Shi Rou from beginning to end. Pei Qian complained: "Don't make trouble, I'm thinking about Master!"
