Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh what is calm
Cui Dongshan came and took a seat. There were three people at a table, master and disciple, teacher and student.
Cui Dongshan bent down and reached out to take the pot of Xianjia wine buried behind the bamboo building. Chen Pingan also picked up the wine in front of him, and they both drank it in one gulp.
Chen Pingan wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand and asked, "When will you leave?"
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "In fact, the students have never left. Wherever the teacher is, the students will have thoughts to follow."
In the dark night, the young man smiled brightly.
Chen Ping'an turned to look at Pei Qian, "Don't imitate him when speaking in the future."
Pei Qian was confused and shook his head vigorously: "Master, I have never learned anything."
Cui Dongshan extended his thumb.
Pei Qian crossed his arms across his chest and tried his best to show some air of a senior sister.
Chen Ping'an said: "Chen Ruchu, why don't you put more effort into it? Guarding against thieves for a thousand days is the most energy-consuming thing."
Luopo Mountain is still some distance away from Longquan County. Although the little girl in pink skirt has long owned the sword talisman forged by Longquan Sword Sect, which can control Feng Wuji, Chen Ruchu likes to shop around when buying things, and is very meticulous. Some items are also
You can't buy it right away when you go to the county town. It may take a day or two, so she used her private money to buy a house in the county town early. The county governor's office helped to make the connection.
At a very good price, I bought a Feng Shui treasure land. The neighbors were all wealthy families in Dali Gyeonggi. The person who handled it at that time was just a little-known civil servant, an auxiliary officer of the old prefect Wu Yuan.
, is now the parent officer of Longquan County. It turns out that he is a secretive descendant of a prominent surname in the capital city.
Just like today, Chen Ruchu stopped at the county house to rest, and could not return to Luopo Mountain until tomorrow when all the goods were ready.
Normally in this situation, before leaving Luopo Mountain, Chen Ruchu would hand over a bunch of keys to Zhou Mili or Cen Yuanji in advance.
Cui Dongshan said: "Sir, don't worry when students are doing things. The best thing about the dead soldiers of Da Li spies is the word "Ao". Privately, Wei Bo has also asked the northernmost mountain god to keep an eye on the movements of the county and city. Not to mention the girl Nuanshu.
The robe that was used as a blindfold was a student's old possession. Even if something unexpected happened, the dead warriors of Dali and the mountain gods would not be able to stop it. With the robe alone, Nuan Shu could still block Yuanying Sword Xiu's one or two sword attacks.
After the sword, Wei Bo should know that it will be difficult for the other party to die even if he wants to."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Is this considered a pretense of public benefit for private gain?"
The stability of some people in Luopo Mountain must require the efforts of others.
The girl in the pink skirt can go out without worries, which requires careful planning and careful planning by Chen Ping'an, Cui Dongshan and Wei Bo.
But on the other hand, he and Cui Dongshan were traveling abroad separately. No matter what strange clouds and dangerous battles they experienced outside, being able to feel at ease just thinking about Luolu Mountain was a great contribution to Chen Ruchu, the little butler.
There was a time when Chen Pingan would be obsessed with his calculations, feeling that he was a bookkeeper who always weighed the pros and cons, calculated the gains and losses, and was unwilling to let go even when people's hearts changed.
But looking back now, I see that it is nothing more than a fuss. This kind of calculation that is not just about money has its merits and value. There is nothing to hide, and there is no need to reject it deep in your heart.
In short, Chen Pingan will never allow regrets caused by his "unexpectedness" and failure to "think more".
At that time, what's the use of taking action angrily afterwards, with the anger of a common man, and blood splashing three feet? How can there be less regrets, and how can there be no regrets?
The Luolu Mountain that is now at his feet is Chen Pingan's responsibility.
From now on, the lotus root blessed land under my nose will be the same.
Talk about your conscience first, then make money.
Money still has to be earned, after all, money is the courage of a hero and the ladder of spiritual practice.
Just the order cannot be wrong.
Cui Dongshan said: "Not to mention Mr. and Senior Sister, Zhu Lian, Lu Baixiang, and Wei Xian, just because Luopo Mountain has brought so much extra military fortune to the Dali Dynasty, even if I require a Nascent Soul to be enshrined and stationed in Longquan County all year round,
The city is not an exaggeration. The old bastard wouldn’t fart at all. Take a step back and say, there is no good thing in the world as long as the horse runs away and there is no grass for the horse to eat. I work hard and sit in the south, and the dust is everywhere every day.
Servant, you are in charge of such a big thing, helping the old bastard to stabilize seven or eight fronts, both overt and covert. Brothers still need to settle accounts openly. I didn't ask for a salary from the old bastard lion.
Consider me kind."
Chen Pingan said nothing.
Do not interfere with the "household affairs" of Cui Dongshan and the old Imperial Master Cui Chan.
Pei Qian didn't know until this moment that there were so many twists and turns with Nuan Shu's little housekeeper. He suddenly became worried and asked: "Otherwise, I will go shopping with Nuan Shu in the future?"
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "You are a martial artist in the Four Realms, and you go out and give away people's heads?"
Pei Qian lamented, knocked his head on the table with a bang, and without raising his head, said dullly: "What a way, I practice boxing too slowly. Grandpa Cui said that I am like a tortoise crawling and an ant moving. He is so angry."
Someone dies."
Chen Ping'an looked strange.
Cui Dongshan said something to add insult to injury: "Are you worried now? The next step for Senior Sister to reach the fifth and sixth realms of martial arts will be even slower, especially the matter of martial courage, which requires a long-term plan, and it really can't be done quickly.
"
Pei Qian raised his head and said angrily: "Are you annoyed, Big White Goose?! Can't you say a few nice words?"
Cui Dongshan asked: "I'm so obedient, can I be used as food?"
Pei Qian said confidently: "I can eat! I eat with Mi Li, and I can eat an extra bowl every time. When I see you, I don't even want to eat."
Chen Pingan comforted: "Don't be anxious about useless things."
Pei Qian immediately said loudly: "Master is wise!"
Cui Dongshan turned to look at Chen Ping'an, "Sir, what do you think? Our Feng Shui in Luolu Mountain has nothing to do with students, right?"
Chen Ping ignored him and changed the subject, "I have already talked with Wei Liang, the first emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, but the new emperor Wei Yan has great ambitions, so you may need to say hello to Wei Xian."
Wei Xian was the founding emperor of the Nanyuan Kingdom and the first king in the history of Ouhua Blessed Land to visit the mountains on a large scale in search of immortals.
Cui Dongshan asked with a smile: "Wei Xian is the lucky man who was brought out of the Lotus Flower Blessed Land by Sir. We are reborn with kindness. Sir, Wei Xian has no reason to say no."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Luo Po Mountain, within the big rules, must give everyone the room and freedom to follow their own hearts. It's not that I, Chen Pingan, deliberately want to be a moral sage, I just want to have a clear conscience, but I don't want to do this for a long time.
You will be unable to retain people. You cannot retain Lu Baixiang today, you cannot retain Wei Xian tomorrow, and you will not be able to retain that master the day after tomorrow."
Cui Dongshan nodded and said, "Sir, you are wise."
Pei Qian said angrily: "Quickly change your words and don't steal from me!"
Cui Dongshan shook his head and shook his big sleeves, "Hey, no. Come and hit me. Come on, if I hide for a while, I will have the same last name as the old bastard."
Pei Qian held her head with both hands, her brain hurting. It meant that the master was by her side, otherwise she would have punched her long ago.
Unexpectedly, the master reminded me with a smile: "Why don't you agree to a fight when someone asks you to fight? It is a good habit to respond to requests when traveling in the world."
Pei Qian's eyes sparkled.
Cui Dongshan raised an arm, clasped his fingers together and shook them in front of him, "Senior Sister, I am a master of immortal magic. Once someone who has eaten and drank enough is used by me to hold down the body, what will happen?
, it’s really unimaginable, it’s so beautiful.”
Pei Qian said seriously: "Master, I think we should be more harmonious among the same sects. Harmony will bring wealth."
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, "It makes sense."
Then Chen Pingan said: "Go to bed early, and master will help you feed your fists tomorrow."
Pei Qian's eyes widened, "Huh?"
She was not afraid of hardship, but Pei Qian was worried that after feeding her fists, she would be exposed and her pitiful surroundings would be a joke to her master.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, it's not because I'm not working hard. When you reach the bottleneck of the Five Realms, you can go down the mountain to travel alone. It's up to you whether you want to call Li Huai or not. Of course, Master agrees.
You will definitely have a little donkey."
Pei Qian was eager to give it a try: "Master, it's 'today' after the child's hour. You can teach me boxing now."
Chen Pingan held her little head and pushed it gently, "I'm going to talk to Cui Dongshan about something serious."
Pei Qian said aggrievedly: "It's understandable to talk about business matters with Mr. Zhong. It's easy to talk about business matters with Big White Goose. Master, I'm not tired. You can talk and I will listen."
Cui Dongshan clicked his tongue and said: "If you don't even listen to Master's words, you are just a martial artist in the fourth realm. If you reach the fifth and sixth realms, you will not be able to reach heaven."
Pei Qian refused to move, crossed his arms across his chest, and sneered: "It's a villain to drive a wedge between master and disciple!"
Cui Dongshan said: "Sir, I can't control it anyway."
Chen Pingan put his fingers together and gently bent them, "Does it hurt to have a large brain?"
Pei Qian ran away angrily.
After a while, Chen Ping'an didn't turn around and said, "Is there any money in the grass?"
Pei Qian, who had been peeping over there, stood up angrily and said, "Master, I was walking halfway when I heard the crickets chirping, so I caught them. Now that I'm running away, I'm really going to sleep."
Wait until Pei Qian is gone.
Chen Ping'an was a little worried, "I know it's unnecessary to worry and it's useless to think too much, but it's easiest to persuade others with reason, but it's really hard to convince yourself."
Cui Dongshan said softly: "Pei Qian broke through the realm quickly, and he suffered so much military luck. Fortunately, Wei Bo suppressed the situation, and Lizhu Cave Sky is famous for many strange people and strange things, but when Pei Qian himself
It’s indeed a bit troublesome to travel around the world.”
Chen Ping'an felt a little emotional and said slowly: "But after listening to her talk about her trip to the Lotus Root Blessed Land, I was still a little happy that she could think of it on her own and explain the principle of 'holding back your fists'. I'm afraid that going too far is not enough.
If you learn from me, then Pei Qian's own world may be eclipsed in the future."
Cui Dongshan said: "Learn well first, and then be yourself, what's wrong with that? Isn't this how you have gone through these years? All the children in the world don't have any rules in mind, so they learn first.
Zhahuhu, is this really good? In an age when we need to remember the rules the most, the elders deliberately get close to the younger ones at all times. They are reluctant to let go of chestnuts and harsh words. I feel very bad."
Chen Pingan nodded and listened.
Cui Dongshan said: "Are you also worried about Cao Qinglang's future?"
Chen Pingan sighed, "Of course. I don't want to point fingers at Cao Qinglang's life, nor do I want Cao Qinglang to delay his studies and practice."
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "It is better to let Zhongqiu take Cao Qinglang with him when he leaves the Lotus Root Blessed Land. Let Cao Qinglang and Zhongqiu travel to study in the new world together. Start from Aquarius Island first. It will not be possible to go further.
.Cao Qinglang’s qualifications are really good. Mr. Zhong preached, taught and solved doubts, and worked hard on the word mellow. Mr. Zhong’s friend named Lu Tai also taught Cao Qinglang to stay away from the word pedantry. They complemented each other. In the final analysis, he is still kind.
Qiu Li is upright and has the essence of knowledge. Lu Tai is knowledgeable, mixed but not chaotic, and is willing to sincerely respect Zhong Qiu. Cao Qinglang is like this. Otherwise, Cao Qinglang will be useless. In the final analysis, it is the credit of Mr. Qiu.
"
Chen Pingan asked: "If I say that I really want the name Cao Qinglang to be included in the genealogy of our ancestor hall in Luolu Mountain, would it be too selfish?"
Cui Dongshan asked with a smile: "Sir, did you ever mention this matter to Cao Qinglang at the small house in the shabby alley?"
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Of course I have to ask him about his wishes first. At that time, Cao Qinglang was just silly and happy, nodding his head vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice. It gave me the illusion that I was seeing Pei Qian, so I instead
A little guilty."
Cui Dongshan laughed loudly and said: "Isn't this a great thing that you and I wish for? If sir feels uneasy, you might as well think about the effort and effort it will take to cultivate a scholar in the future? Wouldn't it be better?"
After thinking about it, Chen Pingan felt much more at ease.
Then Chen Pingan remembered another child named Zhao Shuxia.
I don’t know how that young man is learning boxing and walking now.
Chen Pingan also attaches great importance to Zhao Shuxia, but he has different concerns and expectations for different juniors.
The way Zhao Shuxia practices boxing is actually the one that most resembles his own.
Don’t rely on anything, just hard work.
Chen Ping'an liked the young man's pure mind, his desire to learn boxing, and his desire to practice martial arts.
Chen Pingan and Cui Dongshan mentioned Zhao Shuxia for the first time, and of course the Taoist embryo, the young girl Zhao Luan, and the fisherman Mr. Wu Shuowen whom he admired very much.
Cui Dongshan said slowly: "The meaning of ancient clumsiness has been the main meaning of boxing since ancient times. On top of this, if you can still introduce the old and bring out the new, it will be the great skill of martial arts."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You are not even a martial artist yourself. I can't help you with empty talk, but here under the Zhao tree, don't add any unnecessary extravagance."
Cui Dongshan nodded and agreed.
With him as a student, you can avoid a lot of accidents by taking a few more glances when you have free time.
What's more, he, Cui Dongshan, is too lazy to do those icing on the cake. If he wants to do it, he only provides help when needed.
For example, the Pima Sect's mountain-protecting formation was improved to gain 20% more power.
Cui Dongshan naturally still retained his strength.
Pima Zong Zhuquan knew it well, but Zhu Quan still did not rely on his passion to push forward the important matters involving the rise and fall of the sect. He did not even hint at it, let alone talk about it to Chen Ping'an.
Because Pima Sect could not provide him with the same kind of love for the time being, or could not give him the love that Cui Dongshan, a student of Chen Ping'an, wanted, Zhu Quan simply said nothing.
If it were Chen Ping'an, Zhu Quan would definitely speak out. Even if he asked for the fairy money from the Pima Sect's master, it still wouldn't be enough to settle the debt, then I would pay the debt on credit first. She, Zhu Quan, would not feel guilty at all about the debt.
But Chen Ping'an is Chen Ping'an, and Cui Dongshan is Cui Dongshan. Even if they are teachers and students, they all call Luopo Mountain their home.
This is proportionality.
Although Zhu Quan seemed to be very incompetent as the head of the Pima Sect in the Skull Beach, his level was not low, but he was not good enough for the sect, so he could only use the lowest choice to lead the way in Qinglu Town.
, to resist the southward trend of Jingguan City.
But as everyone across the continent knows, Pima Sect is a very smooth mountain sect with clear grievances and grudges.
This well-known reputation as a mountain sect and the reputation of monks are a large amount of immortal money that Pima Sect has accumulated invisibly.
During Chen Pingan's trip to Luzhou in Beiju, he learned a lot of truths outside the book from the Pima Sect where Zhuquan was in charge, as well as the Padi Peak where Master Huolong slept soundly.
Chen Ping'an took out two more pots of glutinous rice wine, one for each person.
This time, both of them drank slowly.
Once a mountain starts to take shape, things will naturally happen.
How to deal with the new governor Wei Li and Zhou Chenghuang requires careful control of the situation.
This is by no means a simple matter where Cui Dongshan can get even the slightest benefit by showing off his identity as "Leader of Da Li Lubo Pavilion".
On the back of the fish, Lu Baixiang and Liu Chongrun, who had already obtained the Water Palace and the Dragon Boat, two important treasures of the Immortal Family, were already on their way back. So Lu Baixiang's two direct disciples waited until he arrived at Luopo Mountain to find Yuanbao Yuanlai.
Siblings, their names should be recorded on the genealogy, but what is more embarrassing is that Luolu Mountain has not yet built an ancestral hall. Because of many things, he, the owner of Luolu Mountain, must be present to lay the foundation, install beams, hang statues, and burn incense.
Wait, Chen Pingan is required to be present.
Therefore, Chen Ping'an still needs to stay for a while, first waiting for Lu Baixiang, and then waiting for Zhu Lian to return from Old Dragon City.
Among them, Chen Ping'an must think deeply about whether Zhou Mili's official appointment as the protector of Luo Luo Shan You will cause some people's hearts to wander.
Chen Pingan stood up and said, "I'm going to Qilong Lane."
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Walking?"
Chen Pingan said: "Pei Qian has a sword talisman issued by the Longquan Sword Sect, but I don't have it. It's so late at night, so I won't bother Wei Bo. I just happened to stop by to see Zheng Dafeng in Weijiao."
Cui Dongshan said: "Then I will accompany you for a walk."
When the two of them were going down the mountain, Cen Yuanji happened to be practicing boxing up the mountain.
Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan stood sideways and gave way to the road.
Cen Yuanji said nothing, his fists flowed, and he walked up the mountain without any distractions.
The two continued down the mountain.
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "This little girl is also stubborn. She only looks at Zhu Lian with admiration."
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "It shows that Zhu Lian has a good vision in recruiting disciples. The evil spirit of Luolu Mountain that you brought down can be brought back a little bit by Cen Yuanji. You must cherish it."
Cui Dongshan said helplessly: "If you, sir, are determined to think this way, you will be able to feel more at ease, and the student will bite the bullet and admit it."
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Chen Pingan knocked on the door, but there was no sound for a long time. Chen Pingan had no intention of letting Zheng Dafeng go, so he knocked loudly.
Zheng Dafeng then limped and looked sleepy. He opened the door and saw Chen Ping'an. He pretended to be surprised and said: "Mountain Master, why didn't you say anything to me when you came home? You didn't want to walk more than a few steps.
Go? You look down on me, the gatekeeper, right? Since you look down on me, Zheng Dafeng, what’s the point of visiting tonight? I’m sad. I’m sad. Go to bed, so that the owner of the mountain won’t be an eyesore to me. I’ll also feel bad if I lose it.
A bowl of rice. I have to pack up my bed and leave tomorrow. Isn’t that the end? Is it possible that I have to sleep on the county street? It’s almost winter. It’s freezing cold. How can the mountain master bear it? We’ll talk about it later. Anyway, I’m just looking after the gate. Nothing.
Let’s talk about important matters, the mountain master will be busy with important matters first…”
Zheng Dafeng was about to close the door.
These words were spoken eloquently and without any flaw.
Chen Pingan held the door with one hand and said with a smile: "Brother Dafeng, I hurt my leg and foot. It's such a big thing, of course I have to say hello."
Zheng Dafeng was full of righteousness, shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, gentlemen, as long as the third leg is not broken, it's a trivial matter."
One person closes the door and the other presses the door. There is a stalemate.
Zheng Dafeng muttered: "If the mountain master breaks the rules and bullies others like this, then I, Zheng Dafeng, will be in trouble."
Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said, "We really have something to talk about."
Zheng Dafeng asked: "Whose business is it?"
Chen Ping'an said angrily: "It's not Pei Qian's anyway."
Zheng Dafeng uttered an ouch, lowered his head and bent over, his legs and feet were very nimble. He grabbed Chen Ping'an's arm and pulled him towards the door, "Please come in, Master of the Mountain. The place is not big and the hospitality is not good. Don't be dissatisfied with this."
It’s really not me who complains and likes to talk behind people’s backs. It’s really Zhu Lian who is stingy. The money he appropriated is just a drop in the bucket. Look at this house. Does it have any dignity at all? Luo Po Mountain, the mountain gate here is so shabby, I, Zheng Dafeng, have no shame to complain about it.
I'm here to buy wine. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm from Luoluoshan. Zhu Lian, brothers belong to brothers, official business belongs to official business, it's his mother's iron cock!"
Cui Dongshan laughed and said: "It really makes the speaker cry and the listener is moved."
Zheng Dafeng turned around and said: "For Brother Cui, I almost got into a fight with Zhu Lian and Wei Bo about the division of accounts in Lotus Flower Land, and the quarrel turned upside down. In order for them to let go, I agreed to Brother Cui's share of the accounts, and I almost asked for it.
After a beating, it was really dangerous, but in the end, it still failed to help, and I could only drink alcohol every day, and then accidentally sprained my foot?"
Cui Dongshan smiled and nodded, "I'm so grateful."
Cui Dongshan stopped and said he would wait for his husband at the mountain gate. He crossed the threshold and closed the door gently.
Chen Ping'an and Zheng Dafeng sat down respectively and talked about what they had heard from Li Liu at Lion Peak.
Zheng Dafeng nodded and said: "It does happen, but I don't have the energy to worry about it now."
Then Zheng Dafeng asked: "Why, you think Luo Lo Mountain is short of thugs, so why should I be interested? Help Luo Lo Mountain grow its face?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "You know I don't think so."
Zheng Dafeng said with a smile: "That's why I asked this question when I knew it wouldn't happen. It's called asking for words when I have nothing to say. Otherwise, I would have gone to the old house to drink the northwest wind."
Chen Ping'an said: "I'm looking for you this time, thinking that if you want to relax, you can often go to the Lotus Root Blessed Land for a walk, but it still depends on your own wishes, so I'll just mention it casually."
Zheng Dafeng nodded, "Half of Mr. Cui's martial arts fortune was deliberately left in the Lotus Root Blessed Land. In addition, after being promoted to a medium blessed land and having a sudden increase in aura, it will indeed be more interesting there now."
Zheng Dafeng seemed a little moved, rubbing his chin, "I will consider it."
For example, where to open a prosperous brothel?
Zheng Dafeng grinned and waved to himself. He couldn't do such an immoral thing. Opening a wine shop in a busy city was just like hiring a few charming wine girls. They might be thin-skinned and couldn't win over business, so they had to hire a few
Only a plump wine-selling woman who can chat will have more repeat customers. Otherwise, if you go there, you won't be able to make a few bucks, and you will be ashamed of the poor mountain. The people beside you are like the moon, and their bright wrists are covered with frost and snow. They are so eye-catching, and they are so beautiful.
As a shopkeeper, I can just stand up and collect money every day.
Chen Pingan didn't know what Zheng Dafeng was planning. Seeing that he was just smiling and wiping his mouth with his hand from time to time, Chen Pingan felt something was wrong and left.
Zheng Dafeng walked all the way to the gate. If Chen Pingan hadn't refused, he probably would have been able to send it all the way to the town.
Chen Pingan and Cui Dongshan walked away.
Zheng Dafeng sighed. He had deliberately mentioned Cui Cheng's military fortune before, but Chen Ping'an looked as usual.
It's a good thing, but not a very good thing.
no way.
What kind of person will have what kind of pain and joy.
As for Cui Dongshan, Zheng Dafeng didn't want to deal with him too much because he was too good at playing chess.
Zheng Dafeng did not go back to sleep. Instead, he went out, stooped, and walked under the moonlight to the mountain gate and leaned against the white jade pillar.
There is no obvious hilltop in Luolu Mountain, but if you look closely, there is actually one.
Surrounding Cui Dongshan, there is one.
Lu Baixiang and Wei Xian outside the mountain are.
Shi Rou from Qilong Lane, too.
As long as Cui Dongshan is willing, this mountain can become the largest camp in Luolu Mountain overnight, with many new faces.
But Zheng Dafeng didn't feel that he was a dispensable existence, because those people who surrounded Cui Dongshan, if they wanted to enter Luopo Mountain, especially if they wanted to be named on the genealogy in the future, they had to at least pass through the mountain gate first.
By coincidence, Zheng Dafeng happened to be the gatekeeper.
When Zheng Dafeng thought of this, he felt that he was really a great person. It would be impossible for Luolu Mountain to be without him. He waited quietly for a long time. Zheng Dafeng suddenly stamped his foot. How could Miss Cen go up the mountain to practice boxing tonight?
Going down the mountain?!
————
Shi Rou opened the door of the shop and felt a little embarrassed when she saw Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan both there.
If it were just a young mountain master, it would be fine, but with Cui Dongshan by his side, Shi Rou would feel palpitated.
After going to the backyard, Chen Lingjun yawned and stood by the patio.
Chen Ping'an asked Shi Rou to open the door of a wing room, light a lamp on the table, take out a large pile of notes, or a map of the landscape drawn by the government or himself, and began to tell the story of Jidu's march across the river, and at the same time took out a
The seals are engraved with names and black and white chess pieces of the sect, such as the Shuilong Sect Jidu Li Yuan, the Water Goddess of Nanxun Palace is the white piece, and the Chunlu Po Tanling, Tang Xi, Song Lanqiao and other monks in the easternmost part of Jidu, in addition to
There are Yunshang City, Caique Mansion, duckweed sword lake located in the middle of Beiju Luzhou, etc. As for the relatively small number of sunspots, they are mainly from the Yang family of Chongxuan Department. Chen Ping'an about these placed in different positions on the table
Chess pieces, smiled and explained that the chess pieces are like this, but human nature does not pay attention to black and white. I am just giving a general impression. When you go to the river by yourself, you can't just follow the same rules, otherwise you will suffer a big loss.
.
Look at the snow-white line on the table that is connected by every chess piece.
Chen Lingjun held it in for a long time before whispering: "Thank you."
Chen Pingan was a little surprised, so he smiled and joked: "In the middle of the night, the sun can come out to the west?"
Chen Lingjun became angry and said, "I've already thanked you anyway. It's up to you whether you appreciate it or not."
Chen Ping'an was a little happy, and planned to explain in detail to Chen Lingjun the precautions for walking along the Jidu River. No matter how big or small the matter was, he had to explain it slowly, and we would probably have to talk until dawn.
Cui Dongshan narrowed his eyes and said: "Excuse me, please give me some refreshments. This is the route your master paid for with his life. No one in the world is more prepared to walk across the river properly than you."
Chen Lingjun looked a little nervous and clenched the pile of papers in his hand.
Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "It's not that exaggerated. Traveling is the main part of the trip to Luzhou, Beiju, and river walking is the second time. You don't need to be grateful to me, but you must remember that this is your fundamental path. If you don't take it seriously, you are doing it to yourself.
I'm irresponsible. In the past, you and Chen Ruchu were both members of the dragon family on Luopo Mountain. They wanted to immerse themselves in practice but couldn't make the effort, so I never said anything, right? But this time, you must change it.
If I find out about your past lazy temper and you dare to take Ji Du to the river as a child's play, I would rather have you thrown back to Luopo Mountain than let you wander around blindly."
Having said this, Chen Ping'an said seriously: "Because you will die over there."
Chen Lingjun nodded, "I understand the importance."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I believe you."
Chen Lingjun looked at Chen Pingan, who had clear eyes and a warm smile.
Chen Lingjun also calmed down.
Chen Ping'an smiled and took out the pen and ink paper and put it on the table. "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I may explain it in detail and miscellaneously. If you think it is very important, write it down. You can take it out and read it at any time when you leave on your way."
Look through it.”
Cui Dongshan said: "It's just that I didn't go to the river for this uncle myself."
Chen Lingjun was just about to sit down when he heard these words, he stopped, lowered his head, and tightly grasped the paper in his hand.
Chen Pingan glanced at Cui Dongshan.
Cui Dongshan raised his hands and said, "I'll go out and sit down right now."
Cui Dongshan really went out and closed the door, then he sat on the bench next to the patio, crossed his legs, held the back of his head with his hands, and suddenly roared: "Grandma Shi Rou, where are the melon seeds!"
Shi Rou timidly said: "Right away."
She even forgot to conceal her feminine voice.
After staying in Qilong Lane for so long, Shi Rou almost forgot about her own female body. However, when she met Cui Dongshan, she was immediately knocked back to her original form.
Chen Ping'an patted Chen Lingjun on the shoulder, "Cui Dongshan's words are unpleasant. I won't say anything nice for him. It's really unpleasant. But you might as well listen to it. Except for those unreasonable things, every word we think is unpleasant is mostly just a jab.
We can not care about the words that hurt our hearts, but we need to chew more in our hearts. Coptis chinensis has a bitter taste, but it can clear away heat and clear away the heart. That’s all I have to say. Anyway, after this separation, even if I want to say, you
I want to hear it, but I don’t have the chance for the time being.”
Chen Lingjun silently remembered it in his heart, and then asked doubtfully: "Where are you going again?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "The mountain hangs upside down, the Great Wall of Sword Qi."
Chen Lingjun complained: "There are so many things going on on the mountain. Master, you, the owner of the mountain, are too hands-off."
He originally wanted to say why he didn't return to Luoluo Mountain earlier, but he held back and didn't say anything.
Because he himself knows that anyone can say this, but he, Chen Lingjun, is the least qualified.
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I accept the criticism and will not change it for the time being."
Chen Lingjun grinned.
Chen Lingjun sat upright with his pen in hand, spread out the paper, and began to listen to Chen Pingan's description of the local customs, customs, and sect power.
After Chen Lingjun wrote down a note on the paper, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Master, will you do this again in the future?"
Chen Ping'an asked doubtfully: "How?"
Chen Lingjun said: "There will be many people in Luopo Mountain in the future. Sir, will you treat everyone like this?"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, shook his head and smiled: "It's difficult. It's hard to avoid the difference between first-come, first-served and so on. This is one aspect. Of course, there are more things to worry about. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to do everything yourself. After Luolu Mountain, people will get better and better.
If there are too many people, the world will become more and more complicated. I can’t do everything myself. I can only try to ensure that there is a good atmosphere in Luolu Mountain. For example, it’s not that Cui Dongshan outside the door has high cultivation, great ability, and can do things easily.
Everything is right, and you should listen to him on everything. If you have no reason to argue with him and feel unconvinced, then you can talk to me and I will listen carefully."
Chen Lingjun hummed.
Cui Dongshan complained bitterly outside: "Sir, students are best at persuading others with virtue."
Chen Lingjun rolled his eyes.
Chen Ping'an continued to tell Chen Lingjun about the matter of crossing the river.
Sure enough, this nagging has arrived at dawn.
Chen Lingjun also wrote down dozens of key matters.
Chen Pingan clicked his tongue and said, "Chen Lingjun, your handwriting is... far worse than Pei Qian."
Chen Lingjun blushed, "I don't copy books every day. If I copy books for so long, a copybook should be sold for at least a few Xiaoshu coins... Xueqiao coins!"
Chen Pingan smiled and asked, "Do you believe it yourself?"
Chen Lingjun was frustrated.
After all, he is thin-skinned.
Chen Pingan sat on the bench with his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes, and thought about it to see if he had missed anything. There was nothing for the moment, so he planned to think of something later and write a letter to Chen Lingjun.
Opening his eyes, Chen Pingan asked casually: "How is your brother Yujiang Water God doing now?"
Chen Lingjun shook his head, "That's it."
Chen Ping'an said: "Before leaving for Beiju Luzhou, you can actually take a trip to Yujiang to say goodbye and drink and eat when you need it. But don't say you are going to the river, just say you are going on a long trip. Yicheng
When you treat others, you don't tell them everything and don't hide anything. Instead, you don't cause trouble for others, and you do your best to help others solve some troubles without needing others to express their gratitude to you."
Chen Lingjun put away his pen and paper and lay on the table with a sad expression, "In the past, I didn't want to do this. I just drank, ate meat, and bragged loudly."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "The world will not always allow us to save worry and effort. Thinking more about it is not a bad thing."
Chen Lingjun hesitated for a long time, not daring to look Chen Ping'an in the eye, and said cautiously: "If I said that I actually don't want to go to Zoujiang, or to Luzhou in Beiju, but just want to stay on Luolu Mountain and wait to die, wouldn't you be very happy?
angry?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing, as if he already knew the answer.
Chen Lingjun fell silent and did not dare to look at Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan said: "Don't be angry."
Chen Lingjun sat up suddenly with a look of confusion on his face, "Seriously?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I never thought about walking across the river from the beginning, because it is a great good thing. You, Chen Lingjun, must set off immediately, no matter what, rain or shine, and walk across the river. I even thought that you would not be able to do anything by yourself one day.
If you really want to go to the Jidu River, then there is no need to worry about it at all. You can't run away from the Jidu River. In fact, you can only wait until one day when you really understand it, and then go to Jidu. Compared with the current ignorance,
, if you deal with it completely as an errand, you are more likely to succeed. But having said that, the matter of blasphemy is an inevitable path for you, Chen Lingjun, and it is difficult to get around it. It is not a bad thing to make more preparations now."
Chen Pingan paused for a moment, "You may find it harsh to say this, but I should tell you my true thoughts. As Cui Dongshan said, there are so many dragons, mountains, lakes and lakes in the world, but not everyone has them.
Opportunities come and go. So if you know very well in your heart that this matter cannot be delayed, but you are just used to being lazy and unwilling to move away and endure hardship, I will be very angry. But if you think this matter is nothing at all
, so what if I don’t go to Jidu, I, Chen Lingjun, have my own way to go, or maybe I, Chen Lingjun, just like to stay on Luolu Mountain and will be happy to stay there for the rest of my life, so whether it’s your master or the master of Luolu Mountain,
Not angry at all."
Chen Lingjun smiled and said: "I understand."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Every time Chen Ruchu goes to the county to buy things, you will protect her secretly. I am very happy, because this is responsibility."
Chen Lingjun was a little embarrassed, "I'm just strolling around! Who told me this nonsense, let's see if I don't slap his big mouth..."
Cui Dongshan said lazily outside the door: "Me."
Chen Lingjun was dumbfounded.
Chen Lingjun trotted over and opened the door. He tiptoed behind Cui Dongshan and rubbed his shoulders. He asked softly: "Brother Cui, you have been working hard all night and you are tired. You must tell me. We are all family members who love each other."
It's too polite to be too polite! Is the strength on my hand too light or too heavy?"
Chen Ping'an crossed the threshold, kicked Chen Lingjun on the butt, laughed and cursed: "You also have a share of Luolu Mountain's Feng Shui!"
————
The Caotou shop next to Qilong Lane has also opened.
It's the girl nicknamed Jiu'er.
Chen Pingan smiled and greeted: "Jiu'er, where are your master and senior brother?"
The girl quickly gave a blessing and said in surprise: "Master Chen Shan."
Then he looked a little shy and said: "Master has been running business. He is getting older, so he gets up later. I will open the door today. It was not like this before. Senior brother has been going to the mountains to collect medicine for several days, and it will probably be later.
Only then can we return to Qilong Lane."
Jiu'er had to go call Master. After all, it was the mountain master who was here in person. Even if he was complained or scolded by Master, he should still inform him.
Chen Ping'an stopped Jiu'er and said with a smile: "No need to disturb the Taoist priest, I'm just passing by to see you."
Jiu'er was a little nervous and said, "Master Chen Shan, the business of the shop is not very good."
Chen Ping'an said: "It's okay. The business here at Caotou Shop is actually pretty good. Keep up the good work and go to Luopo Mountain if you have anything to do. Don't be embarrassed. In this sentence, you must help me bring him a drink later.
Old man, the Taoist priest is kind-hearted. Even if something happens, he still likes to carry it. This is actually not good. One family does not talk about two things. By the way, I won't sit in the shop. I still have some things to be busy with. "
Jiu'er, who had just opened the door, quietly wrapped his hands around his back, rubbed them together, and said softly: "Master Chen, really don't want a cup of tea?"
Chen Pingan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I really don't want to drink anymore, just think of it as spare time."
Jiu'er smiled.
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Jiu'er's face is much better than before, which means that the soil and water in my hometown are still good for people. I used to worry that you guys wouldn't be able to live there, but now I'm relieved."
Jiu'er blushed a little.
Chen Pingan waved goodbye.
I took Cui Dongshan along the steps of Qilong Lane and went to the ancestral home in Muping Lane.
This route must first pass by the Gu family's ancestral home. Chen Pingan stopped and asked: "Where is Uncle Gu?"
Cui Dongshan said: "It is difficult for an upright official to interrupt household affairs. But now Gu Tao has become the mountain god of the old mountains of Dali, and his merits are considered complete. A woman can get wind and rain in the county and town. Gu Can
She is doing well in Shujian Lake, her son is promising, and her husband has become a successful person. A woman who lives a good life naturally hides many of her problems."
Chen Ping'an continued to move forward, "The house with the plaque of Xiushui and Gaofeng?"
Cui Dongshan said slowly: "That ghost in wedding clothes? Poor ghost, she fell in love with a poor person. The former was regarded as hateful and hateful, but in fact the latter was really pitiful. Back then, he was written down by both the Lu Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty.
The academician was deceived so miserably that he finally committed suicide by throwing himself into a lake. An infatuated man who originally only wanted to earn the title of sage by relying on knowledge in the academy hoped to exchange this for the recognition and edict of the court, so that he could marry a matchmaker.
It’s a pity that the female ghost was born too early, in the Dali of that year instead of the Dali of today. Otherwise, there would have been two completely different endings. The female ghost over there in the academy was, after all, a filthy ghost. Naturally,
She couldn't even get through the gate, so she had to force her way through, and almost lost her soul. In the end, she was not stupid enough, and she spent all the remaining love with the Dali court to take away the scholar's body, and she also knew
The truth that had been sealed for a long time was that the scholar had never let down her affection and died because of it. She went completely crazy. After Gu Tao left her mansion, she stumbled back there with a coffin.
Bian, took off her wedding dress, put on plain clothes, and spent her days in a daze, just saying that she was waiting for someone."
Chen Pingan asked: "How to calculate the right and wrong here?"
Cui Dongshan stretched out a palm, cut a few times in the air with a knife gesture, and said with a smile: "It depends on where you go from, which is the beginning and the end. It starts with the female ghost scholar meeting and falling in love with each other, and ends with the female ghost scholar meeting each other and falling in love with each other."
To end with the ghost killing so many scholars, it's very simple. He was afraid of killing her with a slap, and now she doesn't want to live. It's all over. But if we look further forward, judging from the female ghost's achievements in the mountains and rivers, judging from her character
When goodness starts to count, it will be very troublesome. It will be even more troublesome if she still thinks that in the unlikely event that she can learn from her mistakes and correct them, and make up for the world in hundreds of years. If she stands next to those scholars who have died in vain
From this angle, if you think about the problem, it’s... a big trouble."
Cui Dongshan said this and asked: "May I ask sir, which paragraph do you want to intercept?"
Chen Pingan did not give an answer.
When Chen Ping'an took out the key to open the door of his ancestral house, Cui Dongshan asked with a smile: "Then, sir, have you ever thought about a question? What should Mr. Yu do if things get messy?"
After Chen Pingan opened the door, he smiled and said: "Just think about it again."
Opening the door, Chen Pingan took out two small benches.
After Cui Dongshan sat down, he smiled and said: "There is a saying on the mountain that is easy to be ambiguous, 'There is a reason for going up the mountain to practice Taoism. It turns out that they are all immortals.'"
Chen Ping'an said: "I've heard of it."
Cui Dongshan said: "When ordinary people hear this, they just feel that the world is unfair and they treat themselves too poorly. People who think this way are actually no longer immortals. In addition to being angry, it is best to feel sad for yourself.
"
Chen Pingan remained silent and drew a circle with a very small gap on the dirt floor in the courtyard with his toes, and then drew a larger circle outward. "There must be a way to go, so that everyone can have a chance to choose."
Cui Dongshan was suddenly silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Except for the first time, I have never experienced true despair in my life since then."
Chen Ping'an remained silent, holding his hands in his sleeves, bending slightly and looking outside the Mud Bottle Alley, which was open.
Cui Dongshan continued: "For example, Liu Xianyang died back then."
Cui Dongshan added: "For example, Qi Jingchun is actually the mastermind behind the scenes, the one who is the most scheming against Mr.
Cui Dongshan said again: "Another example is that Gu Can made Mr. Gu feel that he knew he was wrong and corrected it, but later found out that was not the case. Another example is that Pei Qian returned to Lotus Root Blessed Land for the first time, beat Cao Qinglang to death, and then chose
Waiting to die, the bet is that the husband will not kill her."
Chen Ping'an finally said: "I want to set up a small world. I have something in my heart. I won't express my displeasure."
Cui Dongshan used his flying sword to draw a golden thunder pond.
Chen Pingan stood up, held his hands in his sleeves, walked around the yard, and said softly: "After Mr. Qi died, he still protected me, because in me, there was a war between the three religions that Mr. Qi deliberately planned.
.I know."
Cui Dongshan stood up, his face turned slightly pale, and said: "Sir, you shouldn't know the truth so early!"
Chen Pingan turned his head, looked at Cui Dongshan, and said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I am very smart and calm. So Mr. Qi will not lose, and neither will I, Chen Pingan."
