Chapter Five Hundred and Fiftieth Chapter Dadu Encountered the Departed at the Sea
There is a bit of commotion here on Fushui Island.
It actually requires the water god Shen Lin to personally control the water transport to Fushui Island.
Fortunately, the monks from Baijia and Cangbeard Islands were alerted by Nanxunshui Palace in advance, saying that there was a certain wild master on Fushui Island who wanted to break through.
Two of the Water Goddess's closest attendants, a lamp-bearer of the Nanxun Water Palace and a water vein surveyor, stayed on the two islands of Baijia and Cangbeard as guests respectively. This was not only to give face, but also to "supervise the army". ”.
On the sea of clouds, Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Master, how long has it been? It's obvious that the natal object has been successfully refined, why hasn't Chen Ping'an come to his senses yet?"
Master Huolong said: "It's that simple to think about things behind closed doors. When a smart person gets into a corner, it won't be easy to get out. He either retreats step by step, or breaks it abruptly and creates new ideas."
Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the distance, holding his chin with his hands, exhaling and inhaling like a fish spitting bubbles. There was no one else who was so bored.
Master Huolong turned around and asked: "Uncle Li, are you still playing? Do you know what you missed?"
Li Yuan replied: "I didn't miss the excitement. I watched with my eyes wide open from beginning to end."
Master Huolong laughed and said, "It's a shame that the gods don't have the intestines."
Li Yuan rolled his eyes, feeling regretful?
Master Huolong asked: "Do I want to sell you a bottle of regret medicine? There is no such store in this village, so think carefully about it."
Li Yuan's eyes turned rapidly. This old guy probably wasn't full enough to entertain himself, so he asked: "What's the price?"
Master Huolong smiled and said: "A bottle of the best Jidu water elixir, not the kind that fools the river gods."
Li Yuan grinned, shook his head and said: "No need. Honest man, I really can't afford a bottle of natal water elixir here. After all, no matter how little I do, I still have to give a water elixir to the Water Dragon Sect every ten years."
This ten years, I will give one to Sun Jie, and in the next ten years, I will give one to Shao Jingzhi. The Northern and Southern Sects will take turns to get it. As for the water elixir, I will use it to offer sacrifices to ghosts and spirits. Guest, please do me a favor. , it is better to keep it for yourself or reward the direct descendants of the ancestral hall, Li Yuan will not interfere.
What Master Huolong is talking about is not just one or two Jidu Water Pills, but a whole bottle of rare water pills that are rich in incense and have the essence of water transport, at least nine pills.
If it were three to five hundred years ago, Li Yuan would have considered it.
At this moment, the state of his broken golden body is not much better than that of Shen Lin, whose golden body is about to collapse. Nanxunshui Palace is so shameless in adding beauty to Fushui Island. How generous is Shen Lin? This woman is a good housekeeper. , the most frugal thing, didn’t she feel that she had grasped a life-saving straw and regarded the Huolong Master as a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering? It was just a broken jar. She always thought that the Huolong Master was helping Nan Xunshui in front of that person. A few kind words from the palace can help Shen Lin survive this calamity.
Li Yuan shook his head in thought. The world's so-called ruthless Dao was not first mentioned in the mountains, but in the sky.
And that "Li Liu" is one of the few existences in the sky.
To put it bluntly, Shen Lin has made such a fuss, which will consume her for decades. Has she forgotten the earliest words of Master Huolong? Just ask Nanxun Shuidian to stand by and watch.
Zhang Shanfeng was a little confused.
Master Huolong laughed and said, "It's difficult to force a cow's head to drink water."
Master Huolong shook his head and said: "It is still the three realms, but it has reached a bottleneck. For Chen Ping'an, his Liujin realm can probably be regarded as a veritable realm for retaining people. There is no way, he has experienced the heart-breaking demon, Hedao, and asked for help.
It is the prototype of the three real difficulties, plus the Bridge of Eternal Life is broken again, so it is only right to walk staggeringly. Otherwise, as a teacher, you will have to wonder if this kid is the reincarnation of a person on the top of the mountain."
Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Isn't it bad to be the reincarnation of an immortal soldier after being separated from the world? I heard that many of the ancestors of the Immortal Family of the first sect, before closing the gate of life and death, would leave a way out to find their own path for the sect.
For the reincarnated body, the clues should be laid out in advance so that the fate of the reincarnation can be renewed."
Master Huolong shook his head and said: "It's not good. I'm not mine. It's a little better that I can't remember the past for the rest of my life. If I remember some, but not all, it will be a big trouble."
Of course, Li Liu, who was born with knowledge, is an exception. For her, it is just a new skin, which is actually the same as never dying.
Sleeping soundly every night is just a nap, and death is a big sleep.
If a monk is just greedy for life and avoids death, and forcibly steals the secrets of heaven, it is like a sneaky thief who walks at night and is reincarnated. As a result, the original soul is incomplete, and a person is pieced together. In the end, who is the half-dead person?
?
However, Huolong Zhenren can also understand the fear of death and survival of some monks in the upper five realms. I understand it, but I still don't agree with it.
For some demonic sects that like to follow sideways, the ancestral hall will light a stick of life incense for the monks. In history, there have been many monks who just stared at the stick of incense for a while, and then their Taoist hearts collapsed.
Completely obsessed, this is how I scared myself to death.
Master Huolong rarely comforted his disciple and said with a smile: "My teacher said before that Chen Ping'an was walking with a limp. It was more of a sloppiness in his mind, which affected his original intention. In fact, his state of mind was low for a while.
, it doesn’t matter.”
Zhang Shanfeng was still worried, "Chen Pingan owes so much foreign debt, what should we do? Chen Pingan is most afraid of owing favors and money."
Master Huolong smiled and said: "There are some big worries, but Chen Pingan is not afraid of them. For example, on the way to mountain climbing, Chen Pingan walked with his head buried in his head and was not walking fast. But he found that a few steps ahead, he could bend down to pick up money, even if it was just a snowflake.
Money, do you think Chen Ping'an will walk faster? Every time you pick up a piece of money, you will have less of a burden. As time goes by, he will naturally walk faster and faster."
Zhang Shanfeng suddenly understood, "Master, it's okay. I've just met Chen Ping'an twice, how do you know Chen Ping'an so well?"
Master Huolong suddenly said: "When the dust has settled, we can return to Fushui Island."
Li Yuan finally couldn't help but asked: "What kind of monk is this Mr. Chen?"
Li Yuan could not hear a single word spoken by Master Huolong and his disciples.
He is the number one cultivator of fire magic in the world. Water magic should definitely rank among the top ten.
Don't forget, Huolong Zhenren is also the Great Celestial Master whose surname is Longhu Mountain. Where is the Celestial Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain? The monks on the mountain have always respected worldly magic, thunder magic is the most respected, and the cardinals of heaven and earth take charge of all laws. And heaven
The Five Thunder Methods of Master Huang Zi, who said "All creation is in the palm of my hand", is the authentic thunder method in the world. How can the thunder method of Master Huolong be weakened? Generally speaking, the great heavenly masters with other surnames in the past dynasties in Longhu Mountain, except
Without the Heavenly Master Seal and the Immortal Sword, one can learn all the Longhu Mountain magic techniques.
That's why Huolong Zhenren can be so aloof and unique in Luzhou, Beiju, where swordsmen are as skilled as clouds.
Master Huolong ignored Li Yuan and took Zhang Shanfeng to Luoyuntou and arrived at the Fushui Island mansion.
Chen Ping'an has walked out of the retreat, his divine energy is restrained, and his skin is radiant. However, because he has just refined his life object, his Qi Palace has not been completely stabilized. The spiritual energy flowing all over his body is unstable, making his whole body more and more floating. When the wooden house is stable,
Such a small fire of fairy demeanor can be freely retracted.
Master Huolong nodded in appreciation and said: "Pindao didn't have this style when he went to the five realms."
Chen Pingan hugged [m] fist to express his thanks.
This time Master Huolong did not mind Chen Pingan's red tape. On the way to practice, he guarded the formation for others. When a person in retreat successfully comes out of seclusion, he still needs to do some superficial work.
Master Huolong said: "Now that it's done, Pindao and Shanfeng won't stay any longer. There are still a lot of things to do at Paidi Peak."
Zhang Shanfeng muttered: "Sleeping somewhere is not sleeping."
Master Huolong was not angry at all for his disciple's trouble. Instead, he explained with a smile: "Of course it is more comfortable to take a nap in my own hut."
It is not without reason that those who practice Taoism occupy the famous mountains and rivers of the world and stay away from the secular world. Immortals move to the mountains. The world of mortals is full of worries and worries, which are broken and connected. Therefore, it is advisable to enter famous mountains, and the body will be pure and the mind will be quiet.
Zhang Shanfeng nodded, "I miss those brothers and nephews very much."
Chen Ping'an said: "Maybe I still need to trouble the old master with something."
Zhang Shanfeng has already said: "No trouble, no trouble."
The fire dragon master smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Shanfeng was afraid that Master would think that his elbow was turned out, so he hurriedly whispered: "Master, Chen Ping'an does things in a measured manner. If it is troublesome, it shouldn't be too troublesome. This means that we have received a favor in vain. His trip to Beiju
After traveling to Luzhou, he will definitely visit our house before returning to Aquarius Island. I will take him to visit many places in the division, such as Taoshan and Taixia Peak, but I have never been there.
outrageous."
Master Huolong nodded, looked at Chen Pingan with a smile, "Tell me."
Chen Pingan said that he hoped to keep only two of the one hundred and twenty-two pieces of green glazed tiles, and trouble Old Master to sell the rest to Baidi City in the Middle Earth Divine Continent. He would only charge 600 grain rain coins.
Zhang Shanfeng was dumbfounded, and when he was about to speak, Chen Ping'an dissuaded him with his eyes.
Master Huolong seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, smiling and saying nothing.
Chen Ping'an quietly waited for the next step.
Distant water cannot quench near thirst.
Today's Luolu Mountain is in great need of fairy money. There are holes that need to be filled everywhere, and all of them are not small.
Upgrading the Lotus Root Blessed Land to the medium blessed land is one thing, but it is also a top priority. If we don’t count the income from Wei Bo’s third Landscape Gods Night Tour Banquet, if he can sell the pile of glazed tiles and immediately earn 600 Grain Rain Money, he can make up for all the money.
Not to mention the shortfall, there is still a surplus of about two hundred Grain Rain coins. I will send more than half of the Grain Rain coins to Zhu Lian as Luo Luoshan's savings, so as not to be stretched for even a little expenditure. Some favors, since I have no choice,
Then simply owe a big debt, but the number of times must be small. It is far better than owing small favors one after another and not paying them back, which is no longer a favor. It is just making friends feel that they are not being kind to each other.
Favors are always borrowed and re-borrowed without difficulty.
What's more, is it ridiculous to always harm Wei Bo, the majestic Beiyue God, in his own territory, scraping the ground three feet away? Rabbits are also particular about not eating grass from the edge of their nest. Think of me, Chen Ping'an, after all, I am a burden, even if I carry it on my back
If a caisson has traveled a long way, can it be the same?
Chen Ping'an can keep a hundred Guyu coins for himself and use it to buy two or three Jianxian imitation swords from Henjian Mountain. It's really cheap, far lower than expected. Can I buy a few more and give them away?
In addition, the construction and operation of the Luolu Mountain Mountain Protection Formation is a considerable expense.
In many new mountains, including Huimeng Mountain and Aobei Mountain, the selection and placement of the overwhelming objects is a third matter. In fact, Jiang Shangzhen used the guise of thanking Chen Ping'an for helping Zhenjing Sect to have an extra sword immortal to worship.
Wei Bo had to make up for his absence from the two night banquets. In fact, he already had three overwhelming treasures, including the pair of Dragon King Baskets that the Fire Dragon Master took to repair. The rest had to be paid for by Luo Po Shan himself.
Therefore, Chen Ping'an only left two pieces of green glazed tiles as a souvenir. After all, these things are hard to find, so leaving them in Luopo Mountain was a good sign that good things would come in pairs.
Master Huolong smiled and said: "Six hundred pills? Half discount? Chen Ping'an, your business is not cost-effective."
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "It depends on the person. If it were a rich man, I would sell him two thousand Grain Rain coins without blinking an eye."
According to the estimate made by Master Huolong before, who helped palm eye to identify treasures, one hundred and twenty pieces of glazed tiles could be sold for one thousand, two hundred Grain Rain coins at the Glazed Pavilion in Baidi City.
But some accounts are not calculated this way.
It was a huge surprise to accidentally pick up such a large number of glazed tiles.
Otherwise, according to Chen Ping'an's own ideas and the attitude of the old master Huan Yun who is not sure about the price of glazed tiles, it must be based on the idea of Master Huo Long. If he can sell a piece of glazed tile for a small sum of money in Luzhou, Beiju, Chen Ping'an will do it.
If you are overjoyed, you might not even save the last two glazed tiles.
Sold at 50% off at Paidi Feng.
With this choice, firstly, you can immediately exchange for an unimaginable amount of Guyu money; secondly, you can express your gratitude to Master Huolong for his guidance and guarding; thirdly, you can avoid having to deal with Baidi City in China in person.
There were many surprises in the business. In the end, Chen Pingan still hoped that before returning to the south, he would visit Paidi Peak and find Zhang Shanfeng.
Go and eat and drink shamelessly.
There are calculations and there are not calculations.
There is goodwill in it, and there are also many private thoughts. Chen Ping'an has an open mind.
Master Huolong said: "Hurry up and refine the idle and messy spiritual energy in the three key qi palaces, otherwise it will still have to be returned to Fushui Island and Dragon Palace Cave Sky, and the favor of Li Yuan and Shen Lin will be in vain. Just like
The host kindly offers you a cup of tea, and you, the guest, take a sip or two and then go out. What's going on? This is..."
"Secondly, when manpower is exhausted, it is inevitable that you cannot absorb all the spiritual energy. After all, you are the bottleneck of the three realms. You cannot drink tea until you are exhausted. The host sincerely treats guests and does not want to have to ask for more in the end.
Isn't it too unlucky to help guests collect corpses? So you can study the two refining formulas of mountain refining and water refining, and continue to refine the Taoist spirit in the green bricks of the Taoist temple. This is also practice. Before that, you are in
You don't know it in the Treasure Mountain, but these superior Taoist secrets that can be refined by all things are just used to refine things? Think more about it yourself."
"Thirdly, these are the one hundred and twenty pieces of glazed tiles, and the six hundred Grain Rain coins are the price you said yourself. There is no buyer in the world who would go up and raise the price. The poor and the poor are really the poor ones.
The Taoist was notoriously poor in Luzhou, Beiju. Fortunately, he had borrowed money from disciples like Taoshan and Zhixuan, and it was not difficult to scrape together a few hundred Grain Rain coins. Therefore, the poor Taoist with glazed tiles,
Take him away, then Pindao will send a message to Xuanfeng Yuan Lingdian and ask him to send you money. I think he can arrive before you leave Shuilong Sect."
Having said this, Master Huolong smiled and said: "Don't worry, one grain rain coin is a lot for you, and I won't give you more than one grain rain coin."
Chen Pingan once again clasped his fists in thanks.
Zhang Shanfeng was a little confused.
He is troubled by the fact that his master and senior brothers are so rich, and Chen Pingan inevitably loses money. This loss is 600 grain rain coins. Chen Pingan doesn't feel sorry for him, Zhang Shanfeng feels sorry for him, but after all, his master earns
For 600 Grain Rain coins, is this the so-called "rich water does not flow to outsiders' fields"?
Therefore, no matter what I say at the moment, whether I am happy or unhappy, I am always suspected of not being a human being.
Zhang Shanfeng felt a little uncomfortable.
It's hard to be a human being.
Master Huolong suddenly asked: "
Chen Ping'an, what do you think of Zhang Shanfeng's boxing skills?"
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment and replied honestly: "It's a bit slow and it's not yet round."
Zhang Shanfeng was so embarrassed that he almost buried himself without digging a hole. Master, don't you think that Chen Ping'an's qualifications are so good that he must brag to his disciples to save some face?
It's not necessary.
How many kilograms does Zhang Shanfeng have? Zhang Shanfeng probably has no idea. He learned everything from Three-Legged Cat Kungfu and traveled down the mountain to slay demons. As expected, there is still a long way to go. So Zhang Shanfeng made up his mind that in the future, he will only be able to truly weigh himself.
Once you have accomplished the Dharma, go back down the mountain.
Besides, Senior Brother Yuan from Zhixuan Peak has good qualifications. The little Taoist boys at Paidi Peak love to guess whether this Great Uncle Yuan is a golden elixir god.
Master Huolong said: "Chen Ping'an, you made the right choice by taking martial arts first."
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't choose it. I had no choice in the beginning. If I don't rely on boxing to survive, I won't be able to survive, and it will be even harder to go far."
Master Huolong nodded, "No matter what, only by being kind to yourself can you truly be kind to others. You must think clearly about this matter. After that, when giving good deeds to this world, do you still ask yourself what your intention is? Do you need it?"
Anyway, Pindao doesn’t think it’s necessary.”
Chen Pingan thought for a moment and smiled: "I understand."
Master Huolong remembered something and said with a smile: "Since you like to think too much, like to walk around Fushui Island, and you can also describe the word 'not round', Pindao will tell you a little story. After listening to it,
Whatever comes up is what comes up. A scholar and Zhouzi were crossing the river together. The scholar had a full stomach with poems and books, but Zhouzi could not read Chinese characters. The scholar talked a lot of great truths. Zhouzi blushed and felt ashamed. A big wave capsized the boat and the two of them fell into the water.
The scholar was drowning and was about to die, and the boatman, who had only one skill and nothing left, pondered whether to save him or not."
Chen Pingan said: "I have written it down, and I will think more about its meaning."
Master Huolong seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said slowly: "Does it have to have a profound meaning? I am a poor Taoist cultivator and I am here. If I talk a little bit, you have to listen and think attentively."
Chen Pingan was just about to say something.
Master Huolong waved his hand, "Pindao is a person on the shore, so there is no need to listen to the answer from the person on the boat."
Finally, the Fire Dragon Master rolled up his sleeves and casually put away the green glazed tiles, pieces flying into his sleeves.
It is said that monks at the top of the mountain have a huge world in their sleeves, which can hold small mountains and rivers.
Chen Ping'an was a little envious. With this magical power on the mountain, being the Baofu Zhai would be like a fish in water.
Master Huolong took the lead to go to the shore, and the Fuzhou boat hovered quietly at the ferry, rising and falling with the water.
Zhang Shanfeng and Chen Pingan slowed down and walked side by side.
Chen Ping'an said: "I can only see some meaning in your boxing technique. After you arrive at Paidi Peak, don't put this boxing technique aside outside of your practice."
Zhang Shanfeng smiled and asked: "Do I count as your half-boxing master?"
Chen Pingan rewarded you with one word: "Get lost."
Zhang Shanfeng whispered: "Don't worry, I will help urge Senior Brother Yuan of Zhixuanfeng to come to Dragon Palace Cave Heaven as soon as possible. Although Senior Brother Yuan has a good Taoism, he has a good temper."
The real fire dragon in front laughed.
It’s hard to say whether disciple Yuan Lingdian has a good temper or not.
In his early years, this boy was the most stubborn and had to fight his way to the realm. However, later he, his master, kept him in seclusion at Taoshan Grottoes for ten years. After he was released from seclusion, he was grounded for another sixty years, and he improved a lot in his moral cultivation.
Chen Ping'an stood at the ferry and watched the talisman boat take off and sail into the sea of clouds.
I plan to take the initiative to visit Nanxun Water Palace and say thank you to the Water Goddess.
But how to get there, you have to ask Li Yuan first.
Li Yuan waited a thousand times before the talisman boat finally got out of the way and immediately appeared on Fushui Island.
Without the Huolong Zhenren, the Dragon Palace Cave Sky looks amiable and cute everywhere.
After hearing that Chen Pingan wanted to go to the Nanxun Water Temple, Li Yuan said that the matter was simple, so he used his magical power of water to take Chen Pingan on a long journey through water.
He would not go so far as to prevent Mr. Chen from forming a good relationship with Shen Lin.
Shen Lin has worked hard to maintain the operation of the Jidu Summer Palace for so many years. Li Yuan just thinks he is a little lazy. In addition, he has his own responsibilities and will not take the initiative to cross the line. In fact, Li Yuan intentionally or unintentionally "doesn't know how to behave."
, deliberately alienating Sun Jie, the leader of the Water Dragon Sect, made the right personal friendship between Nanxun Shuidian and Nanzong Shao Jingzhi particularly valuable, making Shao Jingzhi feel grateful, even if she reached the Yupu realm and faced the water god who was only in the Nascent Soul realm.
Shen Lin always adheres to the etiquette of juniors.
When we arrived at the summer palace, we entered through the side door without any obstruction.
As a Jidu Shuizheng, he is still very popular.
What's more, the young ladies at Nanxun Water Palace have always been very close to him, Li Yuan. They are all members of his own family.
What's more, in the strict rules of the Nanxun Water Palace, Li Yuan's little jokes with a slightly meaty flavor are even more popular. There are many well-qualified attendant goddesses, ghost palace maids, and they like to listen to this young man's appearance the most.
Master Shui Zheng narrated the words of those talented men and beautiful women in the world, and when he got to the point, they all smiled brightly. The thin-skinned ones blushed after listening, and then they shyly said "Shan Shan"
Leave, tsk tsk, that little waist is so twisted that it’s really eye-catching.
Li Yuan walked in the water palace with familiar people and familiar roads, and he couldn't help but sigh that if his golden body was still flawless, he would really be living the life of a god.
Shen Lin quickly came out to greet the two of them personally.
Li Yuan had no intention of getting involved at first and brought Chen Ping'an to meet with Shen Lin. Even if his merits were fulfilled, he planned to go to the sisters to have a heart-to-heart talk and ask them if they had fallen in love with any young handsome man from the Water Dragon Sect recently and if they needed his help.
The red thread creates some unsuspecting encounters, coincidences, and misunderstandings. But Mr. Chen said that he just sat there for a while before returning to Fushui Island, so Li Yuan had no choice but to tell the story he had recently heard about, full of guilt.
Let’s put aside those shameful stories for now. However, over thousands of years, Li Yuan has told more than a hundred stories about mountains and mountains that he added to the story. It seems that the erotic travels of that bastard Jiang Shangzhen are the most popular.
, it’s really fucking unreasonable.
Chen Pingan carried a small Xuanbi tea cake in his hand. The gift was light and the affection was not heavy. In fact, it could only be regarded as shabby.
There was nothing I could do about it. When Chen Ping'an came to visit this time, he really couldn't come up with any suitable thank you gift.
However, Shen Lin was very happy and did not lie at all. When he heard that it was the Xiaoxuanbi of Caique Mansion, he even persuaded Chen Ping'an and Li Yuan to make tea in the pavilion next to the flower garden and asked Mr. Chen not to be offended. , after receiving the gift, she used it to entertain guests.
This time, Shen Lin did not show his true face and used magic to cover up the cracked face.
Chen Pingan drank tea and felt a little emotional. He was obviously a god of mountains and rivers, but he was also very good at life.
Shen Lin also had some small thoughts. This young monk who was able to let Master Huolong personally protect him, just by the way he drank tea, he must have come from a sect's genealogy or was a son of a wealthy family.
Chen Ping'an asked about some methods of refining water elixirs and how to spend less money.
Shen Lin naturally did not hide it, and made many key points clear one by one, which made Chen Ping'an gain a lot. This is the difference between having a master's guidance on the path of practice.
Maybe Shanze Yexiu can also snatch many opportunities from the Immortal Master of Genealogy, but the key to how to eat the opportunities and treasures and ultimately succeed, whether to eat 70% to 80% or 90% to 100%, lies in the "orderly inheritance" at the top of the Immortal Family Mountain. , the eight characters "the Dharma lineage lasts". Many subtle differences, accumulated over time, may directly lead to a gap in one realm, especially the difference between Longmen and Jindan, which is a veritable world of difference.
From beginning to end, Shen Lin didn't ask a single question about Chen Ping'an's origin, not even a test.
After drinking tea, Chen Pingan said goodbye and rushed back to Fushui Island.
It was Li Yuan who personally escorted him.
Chen Pingan arrived at Fushui Island Mansion, sat on the futon, and began to plan the next steps of practice.
Li Yuan returned to the South Xunshui Palace by the same route, and met Shen Lin in the pavilion, who had not packed away the tea sets.
Li Yuan actually doesn't like drinking tea, but since Shen Lin has made tea again, he doesn't care. Drinking tea leisurely is better than drinking water, right?
As Master Huolong came and went, Shen Lin seemed to feel much more relaxed.
The two sides chatted about some recent events on the mountain in Luzhou, Beiju.
For example, Ji Yue and Gu You died together, Taihui Sword Sect Liu Jinglong began to retreat, and the female leader of the Qingliang Sect actually had a Taoist companion.
When Li Yuan talked about the leader of the He clan, he beat his chest a little and said that it would be great if such a beautiful lady could not be touched by a slanderous man in her whole life.
Shen Lin looked at Li Yuan, she looked a little dazed.
Some envied this Shuizheng who had nothing to do all year round, playing in the human world as a god.
Over there at Fushui Island.
Chen Pingan only felt that from now on, he would never have a free moment.
The Taoist meaning contained in those thirty-six green bricks is now only the first step, which is barely inviting the gods to enter the mountain and take root in the mountain temple. The next step is to completely refine it into mountain roots, which is the most important thing. Otherwise, it is just a showpiece. But the Taoist intention is difficult to refine. It takes more time than peeling off the cocoons of the strands of water transport and transporting them to the water house. There is no shortcut in this matter. The only way is to rely on the clumsy skill of dripping water to penetrate the stone. Slowly refining the temperament. Chen Pingan made a rough estimate that it would take a full month, at least six hours a day, to completely refine the first blue brick. Perhaps as time goes by, the remaining thirty-five blue bricks will be refined. The refining process will become faster and faster, but at the earliest, it should take two or three years of hard work.
Carrying blue bricks up the mountain and transporting them by water into the house are all long-term tasks.
Fortunately, Chen Ping'an knew that his current boxing training tended to be a bit of a dead end, so he could practice as a Qi practitioner with more peace of mind.
In fact, I no longer need to be too deliberate about the number of times I move every day. As long as my fist spirit continues to flow, the bottleneck will be broken and I will just let nature take its course. As for whether I can reach the Golden Body Realm with the strongest Sixth Realm, it is not impossible. I just want to stop demanding. If you come, you will be fine. If you don’t come, you will not come. There is no need to blindly practice boxing in order to gain more martial arts luck so that you can give Pei money. If you have gone astray yourself, how can you give to Pei? The founding disciple becomes the master?
When did he, Chen Pingan, ever insist on martial arts? Could it be that the master doesn't insist on martial arts anymore, and the disciples must have martial arts shortcuts? There is no such reason in the world. It's not that Pei Qian is your disciple, Chen Pingan, just You deserve this good thing.
Moreover, Chen Pingan had a vague feeling that after the martial arts fortune of Senior Gu You dissipated, it would be difficult for him to reach the strongest six realms. In fact, Senior Gu's gift was incompatible with Chen Pingan's own pursuit of what he deserved. Martial arts, there is no inevitable relationship between the two, but the world is mysterious. What's more, there are many talented martial artists in the world, each with their own opportunities and experience. How can Chen Ping'an dare to say that he is the purest?
Chen Ping'an stopped looking at the sight of Shiba stopping his sword energy to strike at the last pass.
After sharpening the sword on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the two flying swords were finally refined into their natal objects, so there was no need to worry.
Next, we will stay at Fushui Island, and according to what the old man said, we should refine the abundant spiritual energy accumulated in the three acupoints.
It's raining again outside.
Chen Pingan thought for a while, then stood up from the futon, held an umbrella and went out.
The mountains and rivers are still mountains and rivers, and there are still problems in the state of mind to introspect, but Chen Ping'an feels that he is a little better. As long as he is no longer in a state of confusion and takes the first step, he can still endure the hardship.
Chen Pingan walked slowly in the rain.
One fundamental thing, if you think about it clearly, is that one Dharma can be used and all Dharmas can be used.
Clear away the clouds and mist to see the blue sky and the bright moon.
There are many flaws and flaws in the heart, just make up for it.
For example, if you have the intention to do good, even if it is not rewarded, what if you don't reward it? A good thing that happens to others is not a good thing? If you have the intention to do good, you really can't correct more mistakes, make up for your mistakes, and save the ghosts and ghosts who died in vain in the afterlife. If you have merit, then look for ways to correct your mistakes. Over the years, there have been many roads that have not been traversed. You Chen Ping'an have always admired the gentleman who shows kindness without repaying it. Is it possible that achievements are just used to deceive yourself and others? If it falls on yourself, you will feel uncomfortable? If such self-deception and selfishness continue to spread, will you really not deceive and harm others? When the time comes, the more so-called truths in the basket behind your back, the more likely you will be. The less aware you are of your ignorance.
Resolved the knot in my heart.
My mind is relaxed and my shoulders are heavy.
But Chen Ping'an didn't think there was anything wrong. If he doesn't wear straw sandals, he's still Chen Ping'an. The last thing that poor families in the world don't have to say is to endure hardship. Only those who can endure hardship can enjoy it. blessing.
Chen Pingan walked around the mountains and rivers of Fushui Island, returned to the mansion, sat on the futon, and began to breathe in and out, slowly refining the spiritual energy entrenched in the wooden house.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the greatest immortal money for those who practice Taoism.
Just think of it as a different way to make money.
While waiting for Yuan Lingdian from Zhixuan Peak to arrive at Fushui Island, Chen Ping'an certainly did not forget to draw talismans in addition to refining his energy for six hours every day regarding how to maximize his spiritual energy.
Chen Ping'an didn't forget to eat or sleep, he practiced all day long, just for six hours.
On this day, a thin, middle-aged Taoist priest came to Fushui Island. He did not ride on the talisman boat, but broke through the sea of clouds and came in the wind.
The Taoist priest smiled and looked at Chen Pingan who was going out to greet guests.
The Taoist priest said, "Zhixuanfeng Yuanlingdian, Zhang Shanfeng's fifth senior brother, Mr. Chen can call me poor Taoist Yuan Zhixuan."
Chen Pingan quickly clasped his fists and returned the salute. Naturally, he would not really call the other person Yuan Zhixuan, but Senior Yuan.
Take this Taoist immortal with Zhixuanfeng, who has an ageless appearance, an old age, and a high level of Taoism, to go to the mansion together.
Zhang Shanfeng didn't know the true details of his sect, and Chen Ping'an wanted to know more. Before traveling to Luzhou in Beiju, Wei Bo had roughly told many interesting things about Paidi Peak. There wasn't anything too hidden inside. As long as you were willing,
You can know that, of course, it is still difficult to see rumors about the Taoist priests of Paidi Peak from Shanshui Mansion in ordinary Xianjia hills. Paidi Peak and those Taoists who were able to open mountains and build mansions on their own are indeed not the kind of Taoist monks who like to show off to the public.
Man. The master of Zhixuan Peak next to me is actually not the highest disciple of Huolong Zhenren, but Beiju Luzhou recognizes this person as a Taoist immortal whose Jade Pu Realm can be used as an Immortal Realm.
After Yuan Lingdian handed over 600 Grain Rain coins to Chen Pingan, he invited Chen Pingan to be a guest at Paidi Peak and Zhixuan Peak, and there were no more pleasantries.
It's not that the Immortal of Xuan Peak is condescending and looks down on Chen Ping'an, the Third Realm monk, but that the two sides have nothing to talk about.
So it comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
Chen Pingan then sent Yuan Lingdian to the island ferry.
Yuan Lingdian smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, I still want to thank you for taking care of the mountain all the way."
Chen Ping'an said: "Senior Yuan's words are serious."
"What you say is important but not what you say, it doesn't matter if you are a poor person."
Yuan Lingdian smiled and took out a small mahogany box from his sleeve, "There is an imitation sword made by Hate Sword Mountain inside. Mr. Chen, please don't think the gift is too light."
Chen Pingan was a little shocked.
Just don't delay accepting the gift.
Isn't it stupid to pretend to be polite to these gods?
Yuan Lingdian turned into a rainbow and left.
Chen Pingan stood there holding the mahogany box.
I thought that I would buy imitation swords from Henjianshan in the future. Even if the price is more expensive, I would still buy two more.
In terms of cash alone, Chen Ping'an now has more than a hundred Grain Rain coins lying around, and his waist is very strong.
Let Zhu Lian deal with the debt issue first.
Chen Ping'an was not worried about Li Yuan sending the remaining 500 grain rain coins to Luo Po Mountain, but he really didn't want to disturb him too much, and he had to be restrained when dealing with people.
So let’s talk about it when we get to Lion Peak.
Late winter.
Chen Pingan left Fushui Island.
I had written a letter a long time ago and sent it to Lion Peak. I put it on the desk. I also left the Li Liu "Three Feet of Sweet Rain" Chilong tablet on the letter.
At first, I planned to ask Shen Lin, the Water Goddess of Nanxun Palace, to help deliver the letter and jade tablet. After thinking about it, I decided to ask Li Yuan to do the third favor.
Anyway, some things were written down in the letter, exactly as they were.
As for the piece of "Jun Qing Yu Xiang", of course it needs to be returned to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan refused to keep the "Three Feet of Sweet Rain" jade plaque at first, and made a lot of righteous remarks.
Chen Pingan persuaded Li Yuan through hard talk and promised that if Miss Li was blamed, he, Chen Pingan, would help explain things clearly.
Li Yuan felt a little relieved.
I feel that since she is willing to call this young man "Mr. Chen" and Mr. Chen is willing to guarantee this, there should be no big problem.
Chen Pingan asked Li Yuan to help him say goodbye to the Nanxun Water Palace. Li Yuan had to take on such a big problem, not to mention such a trivial matter.
Li Yuan must send Chen Pingan to the bridge outside Longgong Cave.
Chen Pingan returned the Xianjia orange tree tablet with the word "rest" engraved on it and continued to travel around Dadu.
He was just wearing a green shirt, carrying a bamboo box on his back, and holding a hiking pole.
The sword fairy and the sword-raising gourd are temporarily placed in the bamboo box.
Li Yuan still did not step off the bridge and watched the young man travel westward.
When Li Yuan returned to Fushui Island, he didn't even dare to touch the jade plaque. He only dared to carefully and quickly take out the letter and send it to Lion Peak.
After ten days.
Li Liu returned to the Dragon Palace Cave and saw Shuizheng Li Yuan who was frightened. For the first time, he gave him a straight look and a smile on his face, saying that he had finally achieved some success.
When Li Yuan heard this sentence, his knees almost weakened and he knelt down. For the first time in his life, he felt tears filling his eyes.
Li Liu put away the Chilong jade tablet and threw it to Li Yuan, asking Jidu Shuizheng to take it to the temple to worship, to help condense the essence of incense.
Li Yuan lay on the ground and trembled to thank him.
It’s just that Li Liu has already gone to Nanxun Water Palace.
When Shen Lin saw her, he fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Li Liu stretched out his hand to grab and peel off the golden body of the Water Goddess. Then he stretched out his hand to hold the golden body's head. In an instant, thousands of tiny cracks on the golden body were closed one by one.
Li Liu dropped his wrist slightly and smashed the golden body back into Shen Lin's skin on the ground.
Li Liu sat on the bench in the pavilion.
Shen Lin remained lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
Li Liu said: "Thank you for your hard work. If there are no big accidents, you will be Lord Jidu Lingyuan in the future."
Shen Lin said in a trembling voice: "I will never dare to have such extravagant hopes! I am satisfied to be able to continue to guard Nanxun Water Palace for a thousand years."
Li Liu frowned and said, "Huh?"
Shen Lin did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and immediately knocked his head heavily on the ground, "Accept the decree!"
Li Liu stood up and disappeared in an instant.
Shen Lin just kept bowing to the ground with great ceremony, without making any movement for a long time.
It wasn't until Li Yuan swaggered into the summer palace and came to the pavilion that Shen Lin slowly stood up, as if he was in another world.
Li Yuan wore the "Three Feet of Sweet Rain" jade plaque hanging around his waist. He held out his chest, walked with a breeze, entered the pavilion, winked at the Water Goddess who seemed to be in a state of despair, and tapped the jade plaque around his waist with his finger.
Look, what is this?
Shen Lin turned a blind eye to Li Yuan's actions. She hesitated for a moment, sat down on the bench, still looking dazed, and murmured: "Li Yuan, I may become Lord Jidu Lingyuan, do you believe it?"
"
Li Yuan seemed to have been struck by five thunderbolts from the Fire Dragon Master. He was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly he held his head and started wailing. He fell backward and lay on the ground, waving his hands and feet wildly, "Why not me? It has been gone for thousands of years."
Duke Lingyuan, Duke Dadu, why aren’t I, Li Yuan, a hard-working and uncomplaining person?”
Although Shen Lin said this because she lost her mind, she did not regret leaking the secret. Sooner or later, Shui Zheng and Li Yuan would know. Instead of hiding it and making Li Yuan collapse even more when the time comes, it would be better to get straight to the point and tell the truth as soon as possible. lay bare.
Otherwise, the relationship between the two parties will be even greater.
Li Yuan stood up like a corpse, stiff and motionless.
Shen Lin was a little helpless.
Li Yuan sniffed, his face finally became a little angry, and he said dullly: "Congratulations to Mrs. Shen for being crowned Duke Lingyuan."
Shen Lin smiled and said: "When you come to Nanxun Water Palace again from now on, don't tease the maids here."
Li Yuan started kicking his feet again and said loudly: "No, no!"
Li Yuan completely calmed down and said pitifully: "I'm going to ask the old master to sell me a big jar of regret medicine. I'll forget about it until I die."
Shen Lin laughed softly and said, "I'm not sure about Ji Du's canonization."
Li Yuan turned his head, rubbed the ground vigorously, his eyes were dull, and he said aggrievedly: "You can just rub salt on my wounds."
Shen Lin was in a daze, grateful to Master Huo Long, and also grateful to the young man who was so polite and considerate.
Li Yuan suddenly jumped to his feet and actually broke through the canopy of the Dragon Palace Cave and entered the Dadu Water to chase the heartless Mr. Chen.
On the shore of Dadu.
Chen Pingan was pouring water to wash his face.
Suddenly a head popped out, and because it was so silent, Chen Pingan almost punched.
After seeing that it was Li Yuan, he calmed down the sudden flood of fisting energy and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Li Yuan came to the shore and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, are you tired? Can I help you carry the bamboo box? Rub your shoulders and tap your back?"
Chen Ping'an's scalp was numb and he smiled bitterly: "What's going on?"
Li Yuan knelt down, hugged Chen Ping'an's legs, and howled: "Mr. Chen, do you want water elixir? If necessary, I have two bottles here. It would be a burden to leave them here..."
Why the hell does Mr. Li still want to be shameless? He won’t be shameless today!
Shen Lin is her Duke of Lingyuan. Jidu can still have a Marquis of Longting according to the law. Although his rank is a bit inferior, in fact, Marquis Longting is not under the jurisdiction of Duke Yuanyuan, the head god of Jidu. He is just Longting. Tinghou's control over the water area is slightly less than that of Lingyuan Gong. The water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river.
Chen Ping'an had no choice but to squat down and said helplessly: "If you do this again, I will leave."
Li Yuan let go of his hand, sat on the ground, and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, do you know who she is?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "You know, I definitely don't know. I only know that Miss Li is the sister of a certain troublemaker from the same hometown."
In fact, Chen Ping'an still hasn't guessed Li Yuan's identity.
As for the status of the Nanxun Water Palace in the Dragon Palace Cave, Chen Pingan was unwilling to delve into it. He only vaguely guessed that Mrs. Shen should have a special status among the many water gods in the Dragon Palace Cave. After all, she was in charge of a "water palace" .
Li Yuan didn't dare to say more.
In order not to steal the chicken but lose the rice, even the Chilong jade tablet that had been enshrined in the ancestral temple would be lost.
Li Yuan was devastated.
Chen Ping'an had no choice but to sit on the ground with him, leaning against the bamboo box, and whispered: "How can I help? Tell me? As long as you can agree, I won't be vague."
Now it was Li Yuan's turn to speak.
In fact, I made an exception to leave the Water Dragon Sect this time, just because I felt unhappy.
Isn't it true that he must strive to be crowned the Marquis of Jidu Longting, because Li Yuan knew the path of life, and people who passed by could catch up, but things he missed could not be pursued.
However, Li Yuan was unwilling to give up and felt that he could still struggle, so he blinked his eyes, tried his best to make his smile more sincere, and asked: "Mr. Chen, I will give you two bottles of water pills, will you accept them?"
Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head.
Li Yuan looked sad and depressed, "I knew it."
Chen Pingan took out two pots of wine, one pot of Sangen wine bought from the bridge, and one pot of glutinous rice wine.
It is Chen Pingan's old habit to buy Xianjia wine everywhere.
Li Yuan took the pot of midnight wine and drank heavily.
Chen Ping'an didn't drink any alcohol during the whole journey. He sipped his hometown rice wine in small sips and said nothing.
Li Yuan remembered something. He had done it a long time ago, but he only did half of it. He thought it was pretentious before, so he didn't do the remaining half.
It was the "rest" wooden plaque. He asked for it from the Shuilong Sect, but he was too embarrassed to give it to Chen Pingan, lest the other party think that he had ulterior motives.
After drinking someone else's midnight wine, he threw it to Chen Ping'an and said with a smile: "Just treat it as drink money."
Chen Pingan borrowed the wooden sign and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Li Yuan seemed to have given up and figured it out. He stood up and said, "Let's go, go home and cry by yourself."
Chen Ping'an stood up, clasped his fists and said, "The mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you soon."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, nodded, sniffed, and said with self-pity: "I feel at a loss on the way back here, and countless green mountains and rivers touch the sky."
Chen Ping'an was also stunned for a moment, could it be a poetry competition? I, Chen Ping'an, can't write poems by myself. I copy poems from books, and I can chat with you, Li Yuan, all day and all night, no problem.
Li Yuan said aggrievedly: "What are you looking at?"
Chen Ping'an took a sip of wine, probably thinking too much.
Li Yuan jumped up and went to Dadu, but instead of sinking to the bottom to open up the water, he bent around on the water and made his way back home. From time to time, one or two big fish were kicked out by Li Yuan.
Jidu was several feet tall, and then he fainted and fell into the water.
Chen Ping'an looked away, feeling a little amused, and began to look forward to Chen Lingjun's big scandal in the future, and he should be very close to Li Yuan.
Chen Ping'an's next journey was uneventful, and there were some small landscape observations along the way.
There was once a large ship moored at the ferry at night, and someone on the second floor lit a lamp at night. Chen Ping'an saw an official wife take off her own head, put it on the table, hold an ivory comb, and gently comb her black hair.
As if aware of Chen Pingan's gaze, she tilted her body and let her head look out the window. After seeing the man in green shirt, she seemed shy, put down the comb, put her head back on her neck, and faced the shore.
She didn't dare to look directly at the man in green shirt. His hairpin was hanging sideways and his figure was graceful. She gave him a blessing.
Chen Pingan smiled.
The woman heard the baby crying and immediately walked quickly to the next room.
Chen Pingan continued on his way.
Not only did the official ship not have the gloomy atmosphere of ghosts and ghosts, but there was actually a ray of cultural fortune lingering there.
Passing by a village near the water, Chen Ping'an saw a silly village boy and patted him on the back. There seemed to be such a poor man in every rural village in the world.
Then in the night, Chen Ping'an quietly went to the village ancestral hall to offer incense, and then stood by the patio all night, listening to some "parents' gossip" and doing some small things before leaving at dawn.
Another winter turns to spring.
Unconsciously, Chen Ping'an reached the end of Dadu into the sea.
On the previous New Year's Eve, we still slept in the open air.
There is a big city at the mouth of the sea. Chen Ping'an was standing in front of a shop in the city. A customer asked the shopkeeper whether the citrus was sweet. The shopkeeper laughed and said, "You bought it after I said it wasn't sweet, so it's not sweet."
Chen Ping'an felt that Baofengzhai was so tough that he had to break into the house. So he and the shopkeeper bought an extra pound of tangerines, leaving only one, and put the rest in a bamboo box, then walked in the streets and alleys, planning to go out of the city to see
After passing the scenery where Dadu enters the sea, go to the Xianjia Ferry at Leishenzhai in Baby Mountain and take a ferry to Lion Peak.
Holding the tangerine in his hand and walking slowly down the street, Chen Pingan suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked towards an alley.
There is a female crown and a young man in the alley.
They are similar in age, but their status is very different. One is the sect leader, and the other is the direct disciple worshiped by the chief sect.
The man was a little strange at first as to why the sect wanted to temporarily change his route and come to this human city full of market atmosphere, but now he finally knew the answer.
It's waiting for someone.
A shabby traveling scholar?
Chen Ping'an did not turn around and continue walking, but walked directly to the alley.
He Xiaoliang looked calm and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Chen Pingan."
Chen Ping'an stopped at the entrance of the alley and said with a smile: "It will be better if we don't see each other for a longer time."
The man standing one step behind his sect master narrowed his eyes, and although he did not speak a word, the murderous intention flashed away.
Chen Ping'an asked: "Are you looking for me again?"
He Xiaoliang's eyes were complicated, and he shook his head and said: "It's not a special trip, I just bumped into you accidentally and came to see you."
The man already felt that the world was falling apart, there was no murderous intention, and his Taoist heart was about to be shattered to pieces.
In his mind, He Xiaoliang, the god-like sect leader in front of him, seemed to be only one step away from them, but in fact, there was a huge chasm between them. He couldn't even think of anything wrong, and the sect leader was not even fake about Xu Xuan.
Color, have you ever looked so admiringly at any man in the world?
He Xiaoliang looked at the young man in green shirt in front of her, and she felt a little dazed for the first time.
In my impression, he seemed to have been the dark boy wearing straw sandals all his life, but his eyes were shining and clear.
