Chapter 471 I heard that you want to ask the sword
By the Tiefu River, several old masters with tall hats and sleeves were leading the way, followed by young men and women in Confucian shirts, all of whom were obviously disciples of Confucianism.
The team was like a long green snake, and everyone recited "Encouraging Learning" loudly.
The river is gurgling and the books are ringing.
In the team, there was a young woman in red, with a small silver gourd filled with water on her waist. She was carrying a small green bamboo bookcase. After passing Hongzhu Town and Qidun Mountain,
She once told Master Maoshan in private that if she wanted to return to Longquan County alone, she could decide by herself where to walk faster and where to walk slower. However, the old master did not agree, saying that traveling through mountains and rivers is not a study in a study, but must be gregarious.
During this period, they passed the Tiefu Jiangshui Temple. Yang Hua, the highest-ranking river righteous god in Dali, a god who almost never appeared, appeared in the eyes of these academy disciples for the first time. He held a golden spiked sword in his arms and watched these groups of people go.
There are seeds of reading from the Sui Dynasty and the Li Dynasty. Logically speaking, now that Shanya Academy has been stripped of its title of Seventy-Two Colleges, Yang Hua, as the top landscape deity of the Li Dynasty, does not need such courtesy at all.
The Cliff Academy, which was moved to the Huashan Mountain in the east of the capital of the Sui Dynasty, was once a holy place in the hearts of all scholars in Dali. The owner of the mountain, Mao Xiaodong, is still in Dali today, and he is still very popular, especially in the Li and Bing departments. He is highly respected.
When Yang Hua was still a maid holding a sword beside the empress in the palace, she had long admired the Cliff Academy that was still in the capital city of Li. She even went to the academy with her and had seen the tall Mao Mao.
Old Master, that’s why she appeared today.
The waterfall at the junction of Tiefu River and Longxu River has been waiting for a long time.
Several mountain masters from Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain, as well as Wu Yuan, the prefect of Longquan County, Yuan County Magistrate, and Cao Duzao were all among them.
There is also an old man of the Li family, who is the head of the Li family on Fulu Street, the grandfather of the three brothers Li Xisheng, Li Baozhen, and Li Baoping. The old man who has cultivated in the Nascent Soul Realm is now a first-class worshiper of Da Li, but he has not publicized it to the outside world.
.
The Song family of Dali had special unknown gifts for the four major surnames and ten families that controlled most of the dragon kilns. The Song family had signed a secret agreement with the saint, and the Song family allowed one to three people from each family to "withhold"
Under the eyes of the saints who have sat here in the past, the natal porcelain of the talented monks is allowed to practice as an exception, and can ignore the overwhelming pressure of heaven and the prohibition of the secret law in Lizhu Cave. However, after practicing, it is like drawing the earth as a prison, and cannot leave without permission.
In the realm of cave heaven and earth, the Dali Song family has three fixed quotas every hundred years, and they can quietly take people out of the cave. As for why the head of the Li family, who had already become a golden elixir earthly immortal, has never been taken away by the Dali Song family.
This secret matter will surely involve a lot of things.
After all, Old Man Li was a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal. When he saw his beloved granddaughter from afar, his face suddenly burst into smiles that he couldn't hide.
I just don't know why, but I always feel that my granddaughter is still as unsociable and solitary as before, but there seems to be something different. The old man is suddenly relieved and disappointed.
Little Baoping has grown up after all. She has grown up quietly like this. Really, she doesn’t dare to say hello to her grandfather who loves her so much, so she has grown up quietly like this.
The relationship between generations is most obvious in the Li family. Especially the old man treats the youngest granddaughter Li Baoping more than the two grandsons put together. The key is the eldest grandson Li Xisheng and the second grandson Li Baozhen, even if there is a relationship between the two
, because their mother's favoritism was too conspicuous, in the eyes of the servants, the relationship between the two seemed a bit delicate, but the two people's doting on their sister was never reserved.
Carrying the old and small bamboo box on his back, Li Baoping walked alone by the Longxu River, which was shallow but the sound was louder than the river.
In fact, not far from the team, Li Huai, who was with two friends, and Lin Shouyi, who was communicating with an academy gentleman, were also carrying similar-style bamboo boxes.
The three bamboo boxes were all made by the same person, so it’s weird. It’s just that the one made by Li Baoping was the earliest, and the material was the most ordinary. It was just the most ordinary green bamboo. Lin Shouyi and Li Huai had a better chance.
After Dunshan, Chen Ping'an made it from Wei Bo's Fenyong Bamboo. However, after so many years, it is still green in color.
As for Yu Lu and Xie Xie, who met Chen Pingan for the first time at the Dali Pass, they did not receive this kind of treatment.
Wei Bo, the righteous god of the North Mountain of Dali, did not appear, nor did the saint Ruan Qiong.
A deputy mountain master of Cliff Academy who once had a table with Mao Xiaodong and then had a heart-to-heart talk with Cui Dongshan frowned a little. Da Li's move was reasonable but unreasonable.
The two people who really mattered the most ignored Cliff Academy.
The key point is that neither Linlu Academy nor Wu Yuan, the prefect of the county and city, seems to want to explain this.
The deputy mountain chief, who was born in a family of the Sui Dynasty, could not help but sigh in his heart. In the final analysis, it was due to the ebb and flow of the national strength of the two sides. Looking back on the mountains and rivers of the Sui Dynasty and the Nalu Dynasty, how many Dali scholars came here to admire it.
? He feels complacent that he has written poems and sung harmonies with celebrities from both countries.
The team stopped, and the old masters from the academy exchanged polite greetings with the people from Dali.
Li Baoping saw his grandfather, and now he looked like a child. He gently shook the bamboo box and the silver gourd on his waist, and ran over.
The old man smiled and shouted: "Xiaobaoping, run slower."
Li Baoping stopped suddenly in front of the old man, smiled, and called grandpa loudly with a bright smile.
The old man complained insincerely: "Young lady, you're just like me. It's outrageous."
Not far away, Ma Lian, who came from a wealthy family in the Sui Dynasty, saw the girl who finally smiled. He breathed a sigh of relief and his mood improved.
When Liu watched this scene, he shook his head. Ma Lian, this stupid goose, was hopeless. It was like this in the academy. He would lose his mind after not seeing that figure for a few days. Occasionally, he would meet him on the road, but he never dared to say hello.
.Liu Guan just couldn’t understand why you, Ma Lian, come from a Sui family and have been married for generations, but you didn’t even dare to like a girl in the end?
Li Huai knew the inside story. Previously, the academy received a letter from Chen Pingan from Longquan County, and Li Baoping planned to take leave and return home. However, the academy master did not agree at that time. Just when Li Baoping was about to climb over the wall and run away, suddenly
The news came out that Maoshan Chief personally led the way and took some of the academy disciples to Dali Piyun Mountain. They traveled all the way and then exchanged knowledge with Linlu Academy. In addition, you could watch a night tour of thousands of gods joining hands to visit the mountains.
A rare thing.
It's still Li Baoping's fault. She said she wanted to give her junior uncle a surprise and didn't tell the other side of Luopo Mountain that they could return to their hometown.
As a result, halfway through, Li Baoping got the news from somewhere, maybe she received a letter from home or something, and then she began to lose energy, became more and more taciturn, and returned to the situation she had been studying in the academy a few years ago.
Now in Cliff Academy, as Li Baoping reads more and more quickly, the number of times he asks people for advice and the questions he asks are becoming less and less. At first, almost everyone in the academy was asked the question "Master"
Gentlemen, everyone feels lonely now. Without those who make things difficult, they are really not used to it. They miss the little girl in the red cotton coat who asked them strange questions in a serious manner.
The students of Cliff Academy need to go to Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain first, and then have two days of free movement. Then they will gather again at Linlu Academy to watch the landscape night tour banquet held by Dali Beiyue.
The group of people passed through the town in a mighty manner.
The old man Li did not go to his ancestral home on Fulu Street, but planned to follow Xiao Baoping into the mountain. Of course, as a Yuanying monk and Da Litou worshiper, and with profound Confucian knowledge, the old man did not accompany Li Baoping.
That will only make my granddaughter further away from her Sui classmates.
When the students of Da Sui Academy just left the town and passed by the Pearl Mountain, a black charcoal girl holding a hiking stick and a sword at her waist was running with a strong yellow dog beside her. She was short, look.
Not seeing the red-clad one in the team, I ran to the top of the hill where my master lived. Only then did I see that familiar figure. I waved my hands vigorously and shouted with great energy: "Sister Aquarius! I'm here, here!"
Li Baoping suddenly turned her head and saw Pei Qian's bouncing figure. She quickly left the team and ran towards the hill.
Li Huai was so happy that he stopped and stayed at the end of the team. Then he shouted loudly: "Pei Qian! Where am I?"
Pei Qian rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Liu Guan and Ma Lian took pleasure in the misfortune and laughed.
Over the years, Pei Qian would write letters to the Great Sui Academy from time to time. In her letters, she would occasionally mention Ma Lian and Liu Guan, two of her pawns. After all, they had agreed to travel around the world with Li Huai in search of treasures.
Digging for treasures is a 50-50 split. But if there are not a few shouting minions around and her identity cannot be revealed, Ma Lian is stupid, but loyal, and Liu Guan has a sharp mind and can be a dog-headed strategist.
Li Baoping ran to Zhenzhu Mountain, Pei Qian ran down Zhenzhu Mountain, and they met at the foot of the mountain.
Li Baoping reached out and pressed Pei Qian's head, gestured, and asked: "Pei Qian, why don't you grow taller?"
Pei Qian was as depressed as if he had been struck by lightning.
Sister Aquarius, you are so incapable of speaking. You can touch people's hearts with every opening you make.
Li Baoping suddenly said: "It's okay, I am ambitious but not tall."
Pei Qian was in a slightly better mood, "Yes, yes, yes, I have lofty ambitions. Everyone in Luopo Mountain knows it, and the master recognizes it."
Having said this, Pei Qian turned his head and glanced sideways at the native dog lying not far away.
The latter lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the guy holding a hiking pole.
Speaking of his master, Pei Qian comforted him and said, "Sister Baoping, don't be sad. My master didn't know you were coming, so he ran away to the world by himself. Don't be sad. When I see my master later, I will
Let me help you scold him... well, say a few words to him... just one sentence."
Li Baoping, who was almost a head taller than Pei Qian, asked with a smile: "Why are you staying in the small town instead of practicing your crazy swordsmanship in Luolu Mountain?"
Pei Qian puffed up his chest and stood on tiptoes, "Sister Aquarius, you don't know, I am now in a small town looking after the business of two shops for Master, two very big shops!"
Li Baoping looked surprised and said: "Are you already so powerful?"
Pei Qian nodded vigorously, "Sister Baoping, if you don't believe it, I can take you to Qilong Lane right now! The Spring Festival couplets there, the door god, and the word "Fu" with the word "spring" are all posted by me myself."
Li Baoping hummed and said with appreciation: "Yes, I am not tall, but I can already share my worries with my junior uncle."
Pei Qian smiled from ear to ear. Sister Aquarius does not praise others easily.
Li Baoping looked back at the team and said to Pei Qian: "I want to go to Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain first. Once the arrangements are made, I will go down the mountain to play with you."
Pei Qian looked at Sister Baoping, who was tall and thin, and seemed to think of something. The little girl who was full of joy just now suddenly started crying, lowered her head, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and sobbed.
: "Sister Aquarius, Master has lost weight when he came home this time! He's even thinner than you, so thin that I can hardly recognize him. Master didn't say anything, but I know that Master spent five years at Shujian Lake.
, your life is not going well at all. Sister Aquarius, you study a lot, are very capable and courageous, and Master likes you so much. You haven’t visited Master in these years. When Master sees you, he will definitely feel better than before.
I’d also like to be happy… maybe I won’t feel so tired.”
Li Baoping laughed, turned his head and looked south, squinting his eyes, which were a bit narrow and long, and his face was no longer as round as before, but now had an oval shape.
She bent down, wiped away Pei Qian's tears, and said softly: "Okay, okay, blame me, blame me."
After Pei Qian finished crying, he felt a little guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Aquarius, I was talking nonsense."
Li Baoping patted Pei Qian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "See you later."
Pei Qian nodded and watched Li Baoping turn around and leave.
Sister Aquarius, carrying the small bamboo box on her back, was still wearing the familiar red clothes, but Pei Qian looked at the retreating figure. For some reason, he was worried that if he saw Sister Aquarius again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, she would be even taller.
Now, it's even more different. I wonder if the master would have felt this way when he walked into the Cliff Academy? He must have dragged them to do those things on the academy lake that Pei Qian found particularly fun at the time. Was it because the master had
Have you thought about today? Because growing up seems to be fun and pleasant, but it is actually a particularly unpleasant thing?
Pei Qian scratched her head, stamped her feet, and was very annoyed. She was now the third shopkeeper of two shops, so why didn't she remember anything? She took out two bunches of candied haws wrapped in oil paper from her sleeves, and forgot to give them to Sister Aquarius.
!
She sighed, put back a bunch of candied haws on her sleeve, left one bunch, and started to nibble on it. It tasted really good. As for the money to buy the candied haws, it was Shi Rou's money, and she really was just doing it in a New Year's shop.
Inside, I muttered a few more words about candied haws on a stick, and asked Shi Rou a few more questions, whether she heard the sound of hawkers walking around the streets selling candied haws on a stick. After going back and forth, Shi Rou took the initiative to give her a handful of copper coins and asked her to treat her.
There was no need to pay back for food. This was so embarrassing. She, Pei Qian, was not the kind of greedy child, so she stared hard at the copper coins in Shi Rou's palm, then shook her head and waved her hands, saying no, no, no, no, no, but in the end she still accepted it.
Sorry, it's hard to refuse such kindness.
After eating the candied haws, I just kept the bunch in my sleeve. After all, Shi Rou came up with the money. Go back and give it to her. As for Sister Aquarius’ share, she will pay for it herself tomorrow.
Jianghu people act so boldly.
Pei Qian waved his walking stick and caught a glimpse of the native dog hiding from a distance. As soon as he glared, the native dog immediately ran to her side with its tail between its legs and lay down next to her.
Pei Qian squatted down, grabbed its mouth, and said angrily: "Little brother, what's the matter with you? You are so short, are you a short winter melon? Isn't it embarrassing? Huh? Speak up!"
It had received a great blessing inexplicably, but in fact it had already become a spirit. It was supposed to be running around in the mountains to the west of Longquan County, motionless like a native dog chasing the mountains, with its eyes full of grievance and sorrow.
It is now enlightened and psychic, and its backer is the Longquan Sword Sect. Among the mountains to the west, it can be regarded as a landscape spirit that no one can mess with. However, it is still far from being able to speak human words and transform into a human form.
Pei Qian tightened her grip on the native dog's mouth and refused to let go. Her eyes widened, "If you don't speak, you are not convinced? Who gave you the guts?!"
It didn't dare to move.
Pei Qian twisted his wrist, and the dog's head twisted. The native dog immediately began to whimper. Pei Qian shouted angrily: "Tell me, are you carrying me behind your back to bully the big white goose in the town again? Otherwise, why would I just take you with me every time?"
, they run away when they see it? Do you know, what does it mean to have a strong fist but not to use it?! I am so angry that you have been following me for so long and you have not learned at all."
That native dog probably wanted to die.
Who was riding a big white goose running around in the alleys back then?
Pei Qian finally let go of the local dog, let go of her hand, stood up, and clapped her hands. Suddenly she blinked hard and stretched out her hand to rub it.
The last time she ate the beads handed over by her master in Qilong Lane, she had been like this all the time. Her eyes were sore, but it didn't hurt, but she was a little upset. When she was copying books several times, the strokes would become skewed in the blink of an eye.
If you write neatly, you have to rewrite it. This is one of the few rules of the master. She has always followed it, even though no one cares about her copying now.
And she occasionally looked at the paper full of words, and she always felt that some words were moving. But when she looked at it carefully, it was normal, and the words were lying neatly on the paper one by one.
Pei Qian planned to take the opportunity of taking Sister Baoping to Luoluo Mountain to ask the old cook Zhu who was idle in the mountain all day long. Anyway, he knew everything. If he couldn't do it, he would ask the mountain god Wei Bo. If he couldn't do it, alas,
She could only go to the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den on the second floor of the Bamboo House to ask the old man who would teach her boxing techniques if she disagreed. Wasn't it just that the old man was older and had more strength than the master by a few kilograms or a few liang. What boxing techniques did the old man know?
Can her master understand this? The old man knows nothing!
Pei Qian began to walk toward the town with a swagger. He raised his head and did not look at the road. He held his chest high and said loudly: "Walking arrogantly will make the enemy panic! If you are a friend, kill the local dog and I will eat the meat and you will drink the soup!"
The native dog, with its tail between its legs, followed obediently behind Heroine Pei.
The town became more and more lively because of the arrival of many students from Sui Academy who spoke the elegant dialect of Yizhou.
Li Huai took Liu Guan and Ma Lian to his house. It was in dilapidated condition. Liu Guan was okay. He was born in a poor family, but Ma Lian was dumbfounded. He had seen poor people, but never seen such a poor family. Li Huai
But he didn't care, took out the key, opened the door, and took them to fetch water to clean the house. Naturally, there was more than just Tiesuo Well in the town, there was one nearby, but it was not as sweet as the water from Tiesuo Well. Li Huainiang
When something good happened to someone at home, or when he heard something bad happened to someone else, he would take a long way to fetch water there, with Granny Ma from Xinghua Lane and Widow Gu from Mu Ping Lane.
Mother-in-law, let’s learn from each other.
Liu Guan was a lazy man and didn't want to move. He said he would light the fire and cook. Li Huai took Ma Lian to fetch water. As a result, Ma Lian's thin-skinned and tender shoulders were miserable.
The woman laughed endlessly, and the handsome Ma Lian blushed.
When Li Baoping arrived in the small town, he returned home first. His mother's tears never stopped, and Li Baoping couldn't hold back either.
Li Baoping left Fulu Street and went to Qilong Lane, which he was very familiar with. The two shops that are now his uncle's were originally the ancestral property of the croissant braid. Li Baoping went there often when he was a child.
, not to mention that Li Baoping walked from small to large in and out of the town, walking down the streets and alleys with his eyes closed. But this time he walked slowly, no longer in a hurry. Sure enough, he saw him sitting on a bench at the New Year's shop.
After waiting hard for his Pei Qian, Li Baoping quickened his pace. After staying in the shop for a while, he and Pei Qian went to Mu Ping Alley. They found that the ancestral house of his junior uncle was clean and there was no need to clean it. Li Baoping
Take Pei Qian back to Fulu Street.
Pei Qian squatted next to the small pool, stared at the stones, and looked at the golden crucian carp that was said to have been kept in it for many years, which was given to her by her junior uncle back then, and a golden small carp that had been kept there for many years.
Sister Aquarius caught the crab herself. In fact, the truth of the matter, to be precise, was that the little girl in the red cotton jacket pinched her fingers for it, ran home with tears all the way, and opened the crab's claws for her elder brother Li Xisheng.
Pei Qian looked at them for a long time. The two little guys didn't show much respect and hid themselves away from people.
The small pool was built by Li Baoping when she was very young. She personally picked the stones from the stream. She only picked colorful and beautiful ones. The ants moved them again and again, and it took a lot of effort to pile them up first.
At the corner of the wall, there was a hill, which later became the pool. Nowadays, most of the stones that were the "founding merits of the country" have faded, losing their luster and vision, but there are still many stones of different sizes that are still there.
Crystal clear, under the sunlight, the brilliance flows and is full of aura.
Lin Shouyi went there
The kiln superintendent built the government office and visited his old place again. He often played here when he was a child.
The Lin family is a wealthy family in the town, but it is not among the four major surnames and the ten major families. Moreover, the Lin family is not well-known and does not like to interact with neighbors. Just like Lin Shouyi's father, he only supervises the government office and has a low reputation.
He was just an official. When he was serving as the only yamen in the town at that time, before he moved away from Lizhu Dongtian, he had assisted three kiln supervisors, but no one seemed to want to promote him.
The Lin family moved to Dali Capital, but the old house is still there and has not been sold, but only a few old servants are left.
Lin Shouyi has never thought much about his family since he was sensible.
The family seemed to treat him the same way.
The two look disgusted with each other.
Even though Lin Shouyi's deeds in the academy have been gradually reported to Dali, the family still seems to be indifferent.
Lin Shouyi didn't think it was strange. His father had always been like this. As long as it was something that his father believed in, and other people's words and deeds, as long as they didn't agree with him, they were wrong. And between father and son, mother would always stand by her husband.
Bian, the way she looks at her son, has always been cold and indifferent, like looking at someone who just helps her stay in the Lin family. He is not an outsider, nor a relative. Anyway, it is not like a mother treating her own flesh and blood.
Politeness hides alienation.
Lin Shouyi recognized his father's colleagues in the government office and took the initiative to visit them. We didn't talk much, there was really nothing to talk about, and warm and pleasant exchanges with people had never been Lin Shouyi's strong point.
It is said that Mr. Cao went out for a walk today. According to the subordinates of the government office, there is no doubt that Mr. Cao went out to drink.
Lin Shouyi could not help but feel a little strange. It seemed that no matter whether officials or subordinates, when talking about the supervisor who they should be careful about his words, each one smiled more sincerely than the other and spoke casually.
It happened that Yu Lu took Xie Xie to the ancestral house of the Cao family. After their respective identities were revealed, Yu Lu and Xie Xie were both brought here, together with the handsome young man named Cui Ci, the national master who gave the young man his appearance.
Cui Chan became a slave.
The direct grandson of the Cao family of the Shangzhu Kingdom of Dali, who is now Cao Duzao of Longquan County, lives here now.
He got drunk today, so Mr. Cao simply didn't go to the government office, where he was the most senior official and ordered a lot of shit. Carrying an empty wine bottle, smelling of alcohol, he staggered back to his ancestral home, intending to take a nap.
, I met people on the road, I greeted and addressed them well, no matter men, women, old or young, they were familiar with each other. When I saw a little kid wearing crotchless pants, I even kicked him lightly. Children are not afraid of him as a high official.
He chased him and spat wildly. Mr. Cao ran and hid. The women on the street were not surprised and looked at the young official with smiles on their faces.
Mr. Cao finally got rid of that little bastard's entanglement, and happened to meet Yu Lu and Xie halfway. I don't know whether he recognized or guessed their identities. The suave and drunk Mr. Cao asked Yu Lu if he had a drink.
Yu Lu said he could drink a little. Master Cao shook the empty wine bottle, threw the key to Yu Lu, turned around and ran to the wine shop. Yu Lu was helpless, thanked him and asked: "This kind of person really belongs to the Cao family.
Future head of the family?"
Yu Lu smiled and said: "That's how it works, right?"
Thank you for snorting.
Compared to Magistrate Yuan, who was gentle and diligent in government affairs, Cao Duzao was a well-known romantic man. He only visited all the major dragon kilns once and never visited them again.
On the contrary, when I am in a small town or a county, I often travel between places. I like to buy wine, invite people to drink, and even more like to chat with people. Almost every time I show up, I have a wine pot in my hand. The only difference is that the wine in the pot is
Just drink or not. Men in small towns like to drink and chat with this official from the capital. Every time Master Cao shows up, a large group of idle men who love to drink will immediately gather around and listen to Master Cao talking about the things in the capital.
Who cares about the interesting things on the side, whether they are true or false, they are just for fun. Besides, as long as you are drunk, Mr. Cao will often say, I will pay for the drinks today!
Women and young ladies all liked this young official with a charming smile.
His popularity among women in small towns is no less than that of the young Taoist priest who ran a fortune-telling stall.
On Piyun Mountain.
Mao Xiaodong spoke and said hello to Linlu Academy. The masters from the Sui Dynasty finally met the prince Gao Xuan who was studying here.
Otherwise, no one would dare to say this. They are not afraid of getting into trouble. Who can become a teacher at Cliff Academy? Who doesn’t have such a sense of responsibility and scholarly spirit? They are worried that they will implicate Gao Xuan, who is in a foreign country.
A descendant of Geyang from the Great Sui Dynasty who he requested to replace his elder brother and serve as a hostage here!
Mao Xiaodong left after the two parties met.
The ancestor of the Geyang Gao family in the eleventh realm did not appear.
Gao Xuan looked at the most learned old scholars of the Sui Dynasty who bowed to him one by one and burst into tears. The young people who originally didn't feel that they were so wronged by coming here also had tears in their eyes.
Gao Xuan showed respect to those gray-haired scholars of the Sui Dynasty. As a junior Confucian scholar, Gao Xuan bowed respectfully to his predecessors.
The old masters all straightened their clothes and stood solemnly to receive this gift.
At the viewing point named "Haoran Pavilion" in Linlu Academy, the ancestor of the Gao family in Geyang, who accompanied Gao Xuan to Dali, was standing next to Mao Xiaodong and old Jiao Cheng Shuidong.
The ancestor of the Gao family chatted for a few words and then left.
He did not serve as the deputy director of Linlu Academy, but remained anonymous and was just an ordinary teacher. The disciples of the academy all liked his lectures because the old man could talk about things other than books and knowledge, which was unheard of, such as the novelist and blank paper.
The blessed land is bizarre. However, the local masters of Dali in Linlu Academy don't like this Mr. Gao who is "not doing his job properly". They feel that preaching and teaching students is not rigorous enough and too frivolous. But the deputy heads of the academy have not
What to say about this, Mr. Da Li, the teacher of Linlu Academy, could only stop worrying about it.
There were only two deputy mountain chiefs from different academies left in Haoran Pavilion. Cheng Shuidong seemed to be old acquaintances with Mao Xiaodong, and they talked freely.
Lao Jiao and Mao Xiaodong talked a lot about the academy, and also talked about Chen Ping'an in Luo Lu Mountain. They mentioned a small matter, regarding the request for a foreign man and woman to live in Linlu Academy. He did not ask Wei Bo to send a message to the academy, but
He went to the door in person and asked his deputy mountain chief for help.
Mao Xiaodong said with a straight face: "I finally understand a little bit about the ways of the world."
The old dragon laughed heartily.
On the top of Piyun Mountain, a man and a woman climbed up to look into the distance and admire the scenery of the mountains.
It is Liu Qingshan of the Lion Garden and Liu Boqi, the female crown prince of the Master Sword House.
Liu Qingshan said: "We have been to the Great Li Capital and the northernmost seaside of Aquarius Continent, let's go back together? Let's go back together to see my father and my elder brother."
Liu Boqi nodded slightly, blushing a little.
According to the earliest agreement, the day they return home is the day they get married.
Scholar Liu Qingshan, in her eyes, is a green mountain, evergreen all year round, green in spring and rippling in spring.
He is well-read in poetry and books, he cares about the country and the people, he is sincere in his treatment of others, he is a famous scholar... he has no shortcomings.
But she is a Taoist, with mediocre appearance, only knows how to fight and kill, speaks in an inelegant way, drinks tea like wine, does not know how to play chess, calligraphy or painting, and has no tenderness at all. It seems that she only has shortcomings.
In fact, during this journey, she had been worried that the farewell in the future would not be the day when Liu Qingfeng, as a mortal master, would eventually die of old age.
But Liu Qingfeng suddenly got tired of her one day and felt that she was not worthy of him liking her until he turned gray.
Liu Boqi was extremely worried.
It wasn't until she went to the Luo Po Mountain that Mr. Zhu broke her knot with just one sentence.
I see how charming Qingshan is, but I don’t expect Qingshan to see me like this.
How Liu Boqi views Liu Qingshan and how much he likes Liu Qingshan will be how Liu Qingshan views me and how he likes me.
But Liu Boqi still wanted to confirm it himself and mustered up the courage. But when the matter came to pass, he was still very nervous. He couldn't help but tightly grasped the handle of the deer god's sword at his waist, turned around and said: "Qingshan, I want to ask you
One thing, you are not allowed to think I am stupid, and you are not allowed to laugh at me..."
But before Liu Boqi could continue to speak, Liu Qingshan gently took her hand holding the knife, held it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Do you know how beautiful you are in my eyes? You can't imagine it yourself.
nice."
Liu Boqi lowered his head slightly and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Liu Qingshan said softly: "It's my fault, I should have told you a long time ago. If Mr. Zhu hadn't reminded me to wake up the dreamer, I might have had to wait much later, or wait until I returned to the Lion Park, to tell you what was in my heart. "
Liu Boqi raised her head and opened her heart. There was no longer any shyness in her eyes. Only the slight blush on her face revealed the ripples in her heart just now.
Liu Boqi said softly: "It's a pity that Mr. Zhu has been reduced to looking after Chen Pingan's home and home."
Liu Qingshan laughed dumbly.
I wanted to say a few words to help Chen Pingan, but I couldn't remember Mr. Zhu's teachings for no reason.
It is enough to not give in even an inch on big matters. Why argue with the woman you love over trivial matters? Are you marrying a daughter-in-law, or are you becoming a teacher and accepting a disciple?
Liu Qingshan suddenly felt that Mr. Zhu was really a towering mountain, and he was full of golden words and good words. Before leaving Longquan County this time, he must ask the old man for advice again.
In Yang's shop, a young man who is both a shop assistant and an apprentice of Old Man Yang feels that his life is unbearable because the shop's feng shui is not good and he has a grudge against Qianzi.
It's not a problem that the business is always so deserted. The young man named Shi Lingshan had to recognize his master and do something filial. So he took it upon himself to go to the uncle who was working in the supervising government office and asked if he could I couldn't help win over some customers, so I got scolded by my uncle, saying that the shop and the Yang family were now notorious on the street, and who would dare to run over there.
The young man returned to the shop dejectedly, only to see his senior brother Zheng Dafeng sitting at the gate, munching on a bunch of candied haws. His movements were particularly disgusting. If it were normal, Shi Lingshan would have pretended not to have seen him, but his senior sister was still chatting with Zheng Dafeng. , he immediately became furious and sat down on the step between two small benches. Zheng Dafeng said with a smile: "Lingshan, did you step on dog shit over there in Taoye Lane? Senior brother looks at you and doesn't look very good."
Shi Lingshan said angrily: "You can't control it. Go back to Luopo Mountain and look at your front door."
Zheng Dafeng pretended to be a senior brother with a kind face, rubbed the young man's head, shook it, and slapped the young man away. Zheng Dafeng gnawed on a candied haws and said vaguely: "Senior brother is now rich, and there is another one on the other side of Luo Luo Mountain. We have a house, which is much bigger than the yellow mud house over at the east gate. When are you going to visit me?"
Shi Lingshan said: "Where are you going? Do you want to continue the shop business?"
Zheng Dafeng said regretfully: "It's a pity. The new house has two rooms. The beds are very big and strong. No matter how you roll around, you don't make a sound. I originally wanted to invite you and Su Yatou to spend the night together. The new house, I need to find someone to make me more popular, have a meal, drink some wine, etc. Oh, I don’t mind the long journey, but Su Yatou agreed, it’s good, two people have two rooms, no need to squeeze into a bed.”
Shi Lingshan opened his mouth wide and regretted it endlessly.
The woman whom Zheng Dafeng called Su Yatou said nothing. Even though Zheng Dafeng had not told her about this issue before, she did not refute anything.
Just now she asked Senior Brother Zheng about martial arts doubts. Although Senior Brother Zheng had lost his martial arts skills, his knowledge was still there, and she did not look down upon him at all.
Compared to the young man from Taoye Lane who had not yet truly practiced cultivation, she was exposed to many inside stories and secrets earlier, and her horizons were widened. Even if the world changed, she would naturally not care about the scumbag business of a drug store.
But just when she was about to ask Senior Brother Zheng about the strange incident that caused her to have a subtle reaction, Shi Lingshan interrupted her.
Zheng Dafeng said: "Shi Lingshan, what are you doing standing still? Go get some food and show respect to your senior brother."
Shi Lingshan sat between his senior brother and senior sister without raising his buttocks.
The woman went to the store to get food.
Zheng Dafeng slapped him in the face and said, "What an idiot. Just wait until you are singled out."
Shi Lingshan stood up and said angrily: "Be careful, I'm in a hurry with you."
Zheng Dafeng rubbed his chin, "Girl Su is so pretty. There will definitely be many men vying to marry her home in the future. Alas, I don't know which bastard will be so lucky in the future to have sex with Girl Su all night long.
As my senior brother, I feel a little tired when I think that sooner or later such a day will come. Fortunately, Su Yatou has always listened to my senior brother's words. I think she will be spoiled for choice in the future, but I, my senior brother, will still be the one to check and help make the final decision..."
Shi Lingshan was immediately confused and confused, as if his face was muddled by this senior brother.
Shi Lingshan turned his head and looked inside the store. The senior sister was at the counter, standing on tiptoes to get something from the medicine cabinet. There were some medicinal materials in the shop that could be eaten directly.
As soon as the senior sister stood on tiptoes and stretched her waist, her figure became slimmer.
Shi Lingshan quickly turned his head and sat back on the steps.
The senior sister's real name is Su Dian, and her nickname is Rouge. It is said that the senior sister's biggest dream in her early years was to open a small shop selling rouge and gouache. The name was also given by her uncle, and the nickname was also given by her uncle, which was very careless.
At this moment, a young man carrying a package ran over from the other side of the town.
Zheng Dafeng wiped his face, and it was over. He met this boy who had no conscience since he was a child. Think about how many injustices he suffered from his sister-in-law back then?
Li Huai ran to the door of the shop and said with a playful smile: "Hey, isn't it a strong wind? I'm basking in the sun. Where is your wife? Tell the aunts to stop hiding and come out to see me. I heard that you are married to seven or eight people."
Daughter-in-law, you are ready to make a career!"
Which pot should not be opened?
Zheng Dafeng said angrily: "Get the hell out of here!"
Li Huai laughed and ran into the medicine shop, went directly to the backyard, and shouted: "Old Yang, Old Yang, guess what I brought you?!"
Old Yang, who was sitting in the backyard, raised his head and looked at Li Huai.
Li Huai took off the package first and ran directly into the main room that Zheng Dafeng, Sudian and Shilingshan regarded as a forbidden area. He threw it on Old Man Yang's bed, then left the house and ran to Old Man Yang.
Next to him, he took out a jar from his sleeve, "High-quality tobacco purchased from a centuries-old shop in the capital city of the Sui Dynasty! It costs eight coins and one tael. Are you convinced? I'll ask you if you're afraid. In the future, when you smoke dry tobacco, you can get it."
My father, mother, and sister miss me so much, and I can’t forget them either!
The young man handed over the tin of tobacco. He raised his hands, stretched out eight fingers, and shook them.
Zheng Dafeng moved the bench to the backyard and sat down to watch the show.
Shi Lingshan also followed, curious about where this guy came from, why he was neither big nor small, and he just followed Zheng Dafeng casually, but why he didn't even respect his master.
Su Dian hesitated for a moment and stood on the other side of the bamboo curtain.
For the first time, Old Man Yang squeezed out a smile on his wrinkled face. He still had nothing nice to say, "Leave the tobacco and go away. Little kid, you're not old, but you don't want to wear crotchless pants anymore? Don't you mind it?"
Are you having trouble peeing?"
Li Huai walked around behind the old man and slapped Old Yang on the back of the head. "A dog can't spit out ivory. How can he say such stupid things in front of my mother? Find out?"
Isn’t it cutting?”
Old Man Yang was not angry at all. He just loaded the tobacco skillfully and started puffing away. Then with a gloomy face, he took a sip and cursed: "Go back and smash the sign of that shop. What a rag. It's not worth it."
Price."
Li Huai laughed loudly and said: "I don't dare. I can't afford this eight-yin silver or one-tael treasure. It's still on display in someone else's shop. I want to buy it, but they won't sell it. I just want to buy it."
I did what I could and bought you a cheaper one. I don't care about the courtesy but the affection. How far have I traveled with these tobaccos? Yang Laoer, you are a guy who likes to stay still, how do you know that?
Thousands of mountains and rivers, how far is it? Mr. Yang, I’m not telling you, while you still have some strength, go out for a walk more often. Don’t stay here all day. If you go out and see the old woman who meets your eye,
, that’s incredible, you’re such a firewood, I’m still not allowed to drink your wedding wine?”
Old Man Yang glanced at Li Huai and was about to curse.
Li Huai covered his ears with his hands and shook his head, "Old bastard Yang loves to chant sutras, but Uncle Li Huai won't listen."
This scene made Zheng Dafeng's eyelids and mouth tremble.
It’s been too many years since I’ve experienced my sister-in-law’s scolding and Li Huai’s peeing all over the floor.
Su Dian and Shi Lingshan were even more shocked, and the young man swallowed his saliva. They didn't know who this tough-looking young man in scholar's shirt was.
After all, Shi Lingshan only knows this side of the town now, and there is only a careless senior like Zheng Dafeng. As for Li Er, he has never even heard of his name.
But this young man in a Confucian shirt of unknown origin really dares to speak out.
Shi Lingshan felt that he had never had the courage in his life.
Shi Lingshan was still young and had never seen what the drug store looked like back then, otherwise it would be even more incredible.
When Li Er was still working as a clerk in a drug store, Li Huai liked to carry his mother on his back and come here alone to play wildly. Whenever he bumped into someone, he would roll around and get covered in mud. When he returned home, as long as his mother saw him, he would probably
She felt so distressed, not only for her clothes, but also for her grey-looking son, that she would bring her son here to curse the streets, curse heaven and earth, even if she couldn't curse him. It's nothing, Li Huai wears crotchless pants
At that time, I couldn't hold back my urine all day long, so I sprinkled water everywhere on Old Yang's hillside in the backyard of the drug store.
Even Li Er, a dull gourd who couldn't hit a fart with eight sticks, felt that he really couldn't bear his master, so he apologized to him several times. But Old Man Yang never cared about it, so Li Er just went along with it.
The most that Old Man Yang could do was hit that little bastard with a cigarette pole. Li Huai was also surprised that he fell down and cried so much that Old Man Yang scolded him or "beat" him with a cigarette pole.
Now, I don’t hold grudges, and I also like to be silly and happy. Of course, I will calm down after I’m tired of tossing myself. I will move a small bench by myself, sit aside, hold my chin, and watch Old Man Yang swallowing clouds.
When you blow out the fog, you can see for most of the day.
Li Huai squatted next to Old Yang and whispered in the old man's ear: "Old Yang, do you have any valuable heirlooms that you can give me? Anyway, you don't seem to be planning to marry and have children, so you just leave them to me.
Yes, it’s the same whether you give it early or later, right?”
Old Man Yang shook his head, "There are a few things left for you, but we'll talk about them later."
Li Huai sighed and said: "Don't be too late. God knows when my sister will get married. Our family is poor, so maybe we will have to give my sister some money."
Come to my husband's house and look down on me, but I'm relying on you to keep the scene going."
Old Man Yang twitched his lips.
Li Huai suddenly turned his head and said, "Old Yang, please smoke less in the future. You are already old and you don't know how to take care of your health. Eat more light food and go out more often. You will be bored here all day long waiting to die. I see you
This body is very strong. It's no problem to climb a mountain to collect medicine. Okay, chatting with you is the most boring thing. Let's go. There are all new clothes and cloth shoes in the package. Remember to put them on yourself."
Li Huai left as soon as he said so.
Of course, I didn't forget to curse Zheng Dafeng, and then said goodbye with a smile to Shi Lingshan and Su Dian.
It is obvious that closeness and distance are the opposite.
The ancient temple is about 700 miles away from Jianshui Villa in Shushui Country.
Back then, I walked on foot, so my walking was naturally slow, but when Chen Pingan traveled far away with his sword, he walked very quickly.
Without going directly to the villa, or even to the bustling town, which was still more than a hundred miles away, Chen Pingan landed his sword on a high mountain. He had overlooked the mountains and rivers before, and could vaguely see some clues. Not only were the mountains and rivers beautiful, there were clouds and mist.
It was so light that it shrouded one of the mountain peaks like a veil. When Chen Pingan had just landed on the top of the mountain and sheathed his sword, a god who must have been from a certain land appeared, bowed to Chen Pingan, and called the immortal master.
Chen Ping'an took off his bamboo hat, quickly clasped his fists in return, and said with a smile: "I'm just passing by, there's no need for the Earth Master to do this."
It is a custom in my hometown in Longquan County that after a loved one dies, they go to the mountain to select a tomb and break the earth. They need to press paper money with stones and place it at certain specific locations on the mountain. This is equivalent to leasing the top of the mountain with the landowner.
Throwing paper money, according to the old man's opinion, was through the land lord, buying money for relatives to lead the way, so that they could pass through the gate of hell and walk through the road of hell smoothly.
Chen Pingan had a very deep memory of this incident. However, when he left the town for the first time, the Tudigong he met was Wei Bo, who was still "detained" in Qidun Mountain at that time. Chen Pingan had actually been lost for a long time at that time.
At that moment, the landowner who looked like a middle-aged man did not dare to stay too long. He looked respectful. After a few words of greeting, the man in charge of the land in the mountainous area was about to say goodbye and leave.
It's really because the other party is obviously a swordsman with a small land that he can't afford. If he is just a middle-level fifth-level monk, he naturally doesn't want to miss it.
Chen Ping'an took out a pot of Wuti wine and handed it to the somewhat reserved landowner, "This pot of wine can be regarded as a meeting gift for me to take the liberty of visiting the mountain."
The low-end god, who was not qualified to include his name in the Shushui Kingdom's landscape genealogy, was immediately frightened. He quickly stepped forward and took the bottle of Xianjia's wine. Just by weighing the bottle, he knew that it was not in the human world.
vulgarian.
Chen Pingan took off the sword-raising gourd, drank the local roast brewed by the old lady in the ancient house, and asked: "Lord Tutu, I am going to Jianshui Villa to visit friends on this trip. I wonder how Zhuangzi has been doing in the past ten years?"
The Tudigong carefully planned, not seeking merit but seeking no mistakes, and said slowly: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, Jianshui Villa is no longer the largest sect in Shushui Kingdom, but has been replaced by the swordsmanship master Wang Yiran's.
Daoshan Villa, although this person is a junior of the old sword master Song, he has vaguely become the leader of the martial arts alliance in Shushui. According to the current saying in the world, Wang Yiran is the only one left to fight with the old sword master Song. Once Wang comes
Resolutely succeeded in breaking through the realm and truly became a first-class grand master. His sword skills have become superb. Secondly, Wang Yiran's daughter married the son of a wealthy man from the Shushui Kingdom. Then, Hengdao Villa was the earliest when the Great Li Iron Cavalry went south.
Take refuge. On the other hand, our Jianshui Villa has a strong character and is not willing to rely on anyone. In terms of momentum, it has gradually fallen behind..."
Having said this, Tu Tugong hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to hide.
Chen Ping'an said: "It doesn't matter what the land master said."
The man lowered his voice and said: "The imperial court plans to move Jianshui Villa and build a mountain temple with the highest standards among the Five Mountains there. I heard that General Chu Hao wants to facilitate this.
"
Chen Ping'an took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Is that Chu Hao, the general of Chu, who recognized his ancestors as the king of the Li clan in the art of war?"
Both Wang Yiran and Chu Hao are acquaintances.
Wang Yiran is not a bad person. Although his daughter Wang Coral is far inferior to him, Wang Yiran's words and deeds during that turmoil actually deserved the title of hero.
As for Chu Hao, who fought side by side with Senior Song in the past and shared life and death with him on the battlefield, Chen Ping'an would not seek any revenge. The grievances and grievances were all in two places, the battlefield and the world.
However, Chen Ping'an would not be polite when it came to his words.
The Earth God smiled, he would be wrong if he spoke too much, he just had to get what he meant. After all, he was still a small land in Shushui Kingdom, but Chu Hao was now the number one person in the court of Shushui Kingdom and more than ten thousand people. Of course, he had to dig out
The civil servants stationed in Dali who were called "the Supreme Emperor of Shushui Kingdom".
Chen Pingan put on his bamboo hat, said goodbye to his sword gourd, and clasped his fists again to express his thanks.
The Earth God hurriedly held the pot of wine and bent down, "The great gift from the Immortal Master makes the little god frightened."
Chen Pingan left this mountain with his sword.
Tu TuGong suppressed the fear in his heart and wondered: "Song Yushao is just a martial artist after all. How can he meet such a swordsman?"
Outside the small town adjacent to Jianshui Villa, on a secluded hilltop, Chen Pingan sheathed his sword, walked down the mountain, walked to the official road, and walked slowly.
After passing the small town, we came to the gate of Jianshui Villa.
Chen Pingan took off his bamboo hat and laughed with an elderly concierge at the villa: "Please tell Old Sword Master Song that Chen Pingan is here to treat him to hot pot."
The old porter hesitated for a moment and glanced at the young man. He had a sword on his back and a wine flask on his back. He should be a member of the world, but he was just a stranger and had never heard his name. He should not be an old friend of Zhuangzi, and he would visit Zhuangzi at this time.
, it was an unfortunate coincidence, and it shouldn’t have happened, so the old man apologized and said, “Master, our Zhuangzi has not seen any guests recently, so you might as well go back.”
Chen Ping'an had no choice but to explain that he and Senior Song were really friends. They lived in Zhuangzi for a while and practiced boxing by the waterfall of the Shanshui Pavilion.
Jianshui Villa has strict rules. The old concierge guards one-third of an acre and doesn't like to inquire about things. In addition, Chen Ping'an had practiced boxing at the waterfall before, and Song Yushao had listed the Shanshui Pavilion as a forbidden area at that time, so the old concierge
I really have never heard of Chen Pingan. The key is that the old man thinks that although he is old, he has good eyesight and a good memory. If he has met a few friends in the world, he can remember it. The young man in front of him is the old concierge.
I really can’t recognize it, I’ve never seen it before!
So the old concierge quietly moved forward, blocking the side door just in time to prevent this young man who was not very trustworthy in his words from forcing his way in. Zhuangzi is not at peace now, and the foreign invasion is terrifying. But the old concierge believes that this time, it will be the same as last time.
The imperial army is almost everywhere, but as long as the old village owner is around, he can always turn danger into good fortune.
But deep down in his heart, the old man was actually still worried. After all, Chu Hao, who liked to compete with Zhuangzi, not only got promoted, but compared to the time when he was just an ordinary border general, he is now powerful and powerful.
The rise of Hengdao Villa should have been a friend of Jianshui Villa, but Jianghu is so helpless and they all like to compete for the first place. Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal of Songxi Kingdom, killed the swordsman master of Guyu Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Lin Gushan, the magic weapon "Green Pearl" hung by Su Lang on his waist is proof. Now that Su Lang has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, he wants to compete with the old village master for the first place in swordsmanship, while Wang Yiran
If you want to compete with the old village master to be the best martial artist in Shushui country, as for the two Zhuangzi, it is equivalent to two sects, and the same is true.
But even in their own village, it is hard to say whether Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal, or Wang Yiran of Hengdao Villa are bad people.
Anyway, having arrived at the gate of Jianshui Villa, Chen Ping'an was not so anxious, and patiently talked with the old concierge.
After going back and forth, the old concierge probably confirmed that this young man in the world was not a bad person except that he liked to say nonsense words to fool people, so he blocked the door and talked with the other person. After all, he was idle, but the old man was a little bit slanderous.
, this young man, not very smart, chatted with himself for a long time, took a few sips of wine from the wine bottle, and did not ask himself if he wanted to drink, even if it was to be polite, he would not really drink.
A sip of wine. Now that he is still guarding the door as an errand, he is naturally not allowed to drink. Besides, the wine brewed by his own village is very good, and he still covets the wine in your broken jug? It smells bad. But.
It's one thing to drink or not, but it's another thing for you, a young man, to ask or not.
Of course, Chen Ping'an also had difficulties. Raising the sword gourd was just a deception. Once the old man took over, his flaws would be revealed. He, Chen Ping'an, could not "conjure" a pot of Wu Tiao wine out of thin air from something close to him. Moreover, he was really reluctant to part with it. Both parties
There is no reason to give Xianjia wine to everyone when he has no relatives. Chen Ping'an is stingy and stingy, and he is well-known in the world.
The old concierge had nothing to do, so he despised the young man for being dishonest, and at the same time followed the other person's words and told him something that the entire Shushui Kingdom knew.
In the temple, Chu Hao had already announced that if Jianshui Villa does not move out of this place within one month, there will be consequences.
Wang Yiran, on the other hand, was quite kind and did not come to the Villa to cause trouble. He was just about to hold a martial arts conference and invited heroes from all over the world to visit Hengdao Villa to participate in the grand event.
As for the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal Su Lang, he will come here recently to "question the sword" from the old village owner. The person who comes here is unkind. If he is really not sure, how can he dare to play around with this kind of thing?
The old concierge also said that he had clearly rejected Su Lang's challenge, but the Qingzhu Sword Immortal was still young and energetic, so he told Jianghu of Shushui Kingdom that he must visit Jianshui Villa.
After Chen Pingan heard this, he remained silent.
He and Su Lang had fought twice before, but in the end Su Lang turned against him for unknown reasons and cut off the head of Lin Gushan, who was supposed to be an ally, with a sword.
The old concierge said with emotion: "You, a young man from a foreign country, now you know why I didn't let you in. If it were normal, I would have let you in. Our Jianshui Villa does not lack a few bottles of good wine to entertain guests, but this time
These are not the peaceful days of the past. God knows if there are spies from the imperial court watching over there in the town. Once you walk in and walk out, you won’t be able to tell. Young man, think about it carefully. In order to save the world,
Is it worth it to gain a false reputation and get into trouble? Why bother coming? It’s better to leave.”
Chen Ping'an suddenly turned his head to look inside the door, and the old concierge turned his head accordingly, thinking that someone from the house was coming to the door.
As a result, there was no one around.
When the old concierge looked away, the young man had already handed him a jug of wine and said with a smile: "The old man is an old man, so he should accept this jug of wine based on his kind words."
The old man was wondering why the young man had such a visiting sight, so he didn't think much about it. He thought that this young man had some qualifications for being in the world, otherwise he might not be able to make a big name despite being good at martial arts and having good character.
The old man still shook his head and said: "I took your wine and blocked you for a long time, not letting you in. I feel sorry for you. Forget it, you don't have much money. You can keep it for yourself. Besides,
I'm the concierge, so I can't drink at the moment."
Chen Ping'an opened the mud seal and shook it, "You really don't want to drink?"
When the old concierge heard about it, he was moved, but he didn't go to pick it up. No matter how good the wine was, it was against the rules, not to mention that he didn't dare to pick it up because his heart was in his belly.
But the young man suddenly put on his bamboo hat, gave him a wine bottle, turned around and walked up the steps, and said with a smile: "It seems that someone is coming, probably me. I'll go say hello for the old gentleman."
He no longer comes to Zhuangzi to gain fame."
The old concierge held the wine flask and looked up. As far as he could see, there was no one on the road.
But the young man still slowly walked away.
The old concierge couldn't laugh or cry. After all, he was still a young man with a thin skin. He had been rejected by others, and then he found such a lame excuse to step down?
The old man sighed, feeling a little unbearable.
But that's how people are in the world. I originally planned to tell the young man who pretended to be a swordsman that when Zhuangzi was calm and the situation was calm, he would definitely not stop him if he came to visit him again.
After hesitating, the old concierge swallowed those words back.
When young people go out to explore the world, it is not a bad thing to hit a wall.
In the lively town near Jianshui Villa, in the private room of an inn, a "young man" whose real age is already forty years old, but whose face has become more and more beautiful, stands just like him ten years ago.
Years ago, now he is like a young master.
He was sitting cross-legged on a futon, and was wiping an unsheathed long sword very carefully. The scabbard was placed across his knees. The seal inscription was "Green Pearl", which belonged to Lin Gushan, the first swordsman in the ancient Yu Kingdom.
He loves swords. After Lin Gushan was beheaded, this magic weapon that can cut iron as well as clay became his sword.
There is also a piece of shiny green bamboo hanging on the waist of this man, two feet and six inches long, as long as the sword.
When a swordsman in blue shirt wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a long sword on his back left the town.
Along with this man who was bowing his head and cleaning his sword carefully, the beautiful woman who left Songxi Country and came to this small town all the way came to the door with light steps and knocked on the door. She was both a sword attendant and a disciple.
, said softly: "Master, someone finally visited Jianshui Villa."
The two of them, both master and disciple and master and servant, have been here for nearly ten years. The man told her that when someone comes to the sparse Jianshui Villa, it will be the time for him to draw his sword.
She has been at the top of the town these days, waiting for that person to appear.
She was getting tired of waiting, because she believed very much that after the battle with Song Yushao, the master would definitely become famous in Shushui, Songxi, and Caiyi countries!
It's just that after waiting for nearly ten days, no one from Jianghu came to Jianshui Villa.
The man in the room smiled and said: "Very good."
The female swordsman retreated.
I climbed up to the ridge of a roof and felt excited, waiting for my master to ask and draw the sword.
That sword must be unrivaled in the world!
Because the man in the room is Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal!
Su Lang did not get up in a hurry in the room, he still lowered his head and wiped the "green bead" sword.
Wiping the sword's edge is essentially cultivating the sword's will and constantly accumulating the sword's will.
The female swordsman felt that the days were passing like years. She looked at Jianshui Villa, fearing that Song Yushao would suddenly run away, and then looked at the inn, hoping that the master would appear quickly.
Finally, Su Lang, the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal, put on a green robe again, walked out of the inn door, and stood in the middle of the bustling street that led directly to Jianshui Villa.
Hanging on his waist was a piece of green bamboo that showed his transcendent identity, and Su Lang held a green bead.
On the street, the sword energy was as strong as the tide.
Pedestrians on the street were so frightened that they dispersed one after another.
Then I don't know who was the first to call out the name of Qingzhu Sword Immortal, followed by words of surprise and surprise one after another.
Then there were countless good people, either climbing up the stairs, or following the example of Su Lang's sword attendant, climbing up to the roof to watch the battle. Some of them were serious-looking men and women, located in different locations in the town. Compared with the noisy spectators, all of whom were red-faced.
, even more silent, they are the spies and dead soldiers placed here by Shushui Kingdom.
The woman stood on the eaves of the roof with the widest view, sneering.
Su Lang began to take the first step forward.
The sword energy spreads in all directions.
The second step is to take a step forward.
Some passers-by who were still on both sides of the street, unaware of the situation, began to feel suffocated and hid in shops one after another, only to be able to breathe a little.
When this great swordsman, who was famous in several countries, took the third step, he was a few feet away.
Those dead spies who were placed in the small town by General Chu were shocked even though they were watching from a distance. There was such a powerful sword energy in the world.
Su Lang took his fourth step and just left the small town archway.
With his sword intent and momentum, he has reached the pinnacle of his lifelong martial arts.
But at this moment, Su Lang stopped.
A Qingshan swordsman wearing a bamboo hat came from a distance.
The reason why Su Lang stopped was because he did not go to Jianshui Villa to ask the sword Song Yushao.
It was this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in front of him. Because of this person's appearance, for a moment, just when Su Lang was about to pull out the green bead in his hand, Su Lang's originally considered flawless state of mind and perfect momentum seemed to have a trace of dirt and dust.
stagnate.
So Su Lang chose to stop moving forward.
But he allowed that person to come to him in just one step.
Su Lang was never afraid of fighting in close quarters with others, especially if the opponent was a monk on the mountain.
The man wearing a bamboo hat looks very young.
"I heard you want to ask about swords?"
The man asked: "But hasn't Senior Song clearly rejected your competition? For a senior in the world like Senior Song, it already means a lot, and you still want to push it further?"
Su Lang felt that these childish questions were more ridiculous than the last. They shouldn't be asked by a person who could temporarily block his progress.
The man hesitated for a moment and asked, "As long as there is a reason, no matter whether it is right or not, I can do whatever I want?"
Su Lang smiled and said, "Then you also want to find one?"
The man actually really thought about it, then he held up his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "Think about it, you delayed me from treating Senior Song to hot pot."
Su Lang had returned to the realm of perfect and innocent sword heart, and said slowly: "Then try and see if you can stop me from drawing the sword."
After one punch.
Chen Ping'an couldn't even use a shrinking talisman.
The famous Green Bamboo Sword Immortal was walking in a straight line, going back and forth from where he came, and fell at the inn in the small town he had walked out of earlier.
Chen Ping'an didn't even look there, turned around and walked back to Jianshui Villa, muttering to himself: "It should be the Seventh Realm we just arrived? No wonder it looks like paper."
Go back to Jianshui Villa again.
The old concierge was confused, because not only the old owner of the village showed up, but also the young owner and his wife.
Everyone looked solemn.
Could it be that the Green Bamboo Sword Immortal showed up?
But the old concierge only saw the blue-shirted swordsman who had gone and returned. The old man was happy. Oh, this guy is quite thick-skinned. Forget it, for the sake of the jug of good wine, I won’t compete with this future livelihood.
For those who live in the world, sometimes being thick-skinned has its benefits.
In the view of the old concierge, the young man who kept approaching the door was running all the way and waving from afar, "Senior Song, do you want to eat hot pot?"
The old concierge wiped his face, young man, is this a little too shameless?
