Chapter 618 The summer is hot, the snow is far away
The early sunshine shines on Gaocheng.
Diezhang, Dong Huafu, and Fan Dache chose to retreat.
Ning Yao, Chen Sanqiu, and Yan Pei continued to stay where they were.
Chen Ping'an returned to their side and put on the appearance of a middle-aged man. First, he helped Chen Sanqiu and Yan Peck kept an eye on the battlefield situation, occasionally saying a reminder.
Compared with Fan Dache, who must speak accurately, and Chen Sanqiu and Yan Pei, Chen Ping'an has to be much more concise and to the point, just checking for omissions and filling in the details.
It’s more about some suggestions on the trajectory of the flying sword and the choice of landing place, a kind of quick review, trying to change from good to better. It’s not that they got used to drinking and became good friends, Chen Pingan would not treat these two golden people.
Dan Realm Sword Cultivator took it seriously. In fact, Chen Pingan watched the battle attentively and gained a lot of benefits from observing Chen Sanqiu and Yan Pei's sword moves.
Then Chen Pingan went to find Fan Dache.
When Fan Dache saw Chen Pingan with a manly face, he felt a little helpless. Being hostile to Chen Pingan was a bad luck for eight lifetimes. Instead of green smoke coming out of his ancestor's grave, there was billowing black smoke. The coffin could not hold it down.
In addition to being helpless, Fan Dache was also very grateful. If it hadn't been for Chen Ping'an's appearance, Fan Dache would have been in a hurry for a long time.
Chen Ping'an knelt down, threw a pot of Bamboo Sea Cave Heaven Wine to Fan Dache, and said with a smile: "Remember to remember me."
Dong Huafu said: "Use Fan Dache's money to buy drinks, and then use them later to give favors to Fan Dache. I have learned from this."
Chen Pingan pretended not to hear, and put a piece of yellow paper on his body to help get rid of the bloody smell.
Diezhang smiled and asked, "Did you go somewhere else to pick up money?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Just strolling around. Because I was worried that it would be a disservice and attract the attention of some big monsters in the dark, I didn't dare to contribute much. I planned to discuss it later with the sword fairies and take charge of a small section of the city alone.
Use it as a bait, and those who are willing to take the bait will take the bait. When the time comes, whichever of you withdraws from the battlefield, you can come over to me and see the great monk's sword-wielding style. Remember to bring wine, so that you don't see it in vain."
Dong Huafu shook his head and said, "Then I won't go."
Diezhang smiled and said, "I'll forget it."
Fan Dache noticed Chen Ping'an looking at him and said something honest: "I don't dare to go."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Da Che, if no one is going, the wine can be here. Who rarely sees you."
Diezhang and Dong Huafu got up almost at the same time and continued towards the southern city wall.
Fan Dache also wanted to follow him, but Chen Pingan stretched out his hand and pressed down, indicating that he was not in a hurry.
Chen Pingan said: "Do you feel a lot of pressure to fight side by side with these friends? It seems that once you help them, you will be held back once."
Fan Dache nodded.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Having such thoughts is actually not a bad thing, but if you want to be better, you should suppress these thoughts. Fan Dache, don't forget, you are a bottleneck sword cultivator in the Dragon Gate realm.
I am not yet thirty years old. I know that in our vast world, even in Luzhou, Beiju, which is known as a sword cultivator like the clouds, a sword cultivator will become a golden elixir sooner or later. What an amazing young man he is.
?"
Chen Ping'an pointed at himself, "It's not that there are people like me in the world of Haoran. There are people like Chen Ping'an in the world of Haoran. Among my peers on the mountain who are about the same age as you and me, only those who can kill enemies are better than me.
, of course there will be, there should be quite a few. But there are many, many, many who are not as good as me."
Chen Pingan said slowly: "In my hometown, Dongbaopingzhou, I have traveled through many rivers and lakes. If you, Fan Dache, practiced there, you would be a proud man with high hopes for the dynasty and the whole country. You may feel that before
I often joke and say that I am a dignified five-level monk after all. I am joking and self-deprecating. In fact, it is not entirely true. Over there in my hometown, there is a cave-level demon clan, a ghost. It is the well-deserved great demon and the shocking ghost. You
Think about it, a golden elixir sword cultivator with an innate sword embryo may only be in his thirties, how can he be so superior in Aquarius Continent?"
Fan Dache nodded, "I have never thought about this before. I am not very interested in the things in the world. Ever since I was a child, I have always felt that my qualifications are acceptable, but not good enough."
Chen Pingan smiled, spread out his hands, put his fingers together and clicked on both ends, "What I said, Fan Dache felt that everything he did was wrong when he was around Ning Yao, Chen Sanqiu and the others, which was an extreme.
Fan Dache in my hometown seems to be able to attack the country with a sword, which is another extreme. Naturally, it is not advisable."
Chen Ping'an put away one hand, made a fist with the other, and shook it in the middle of the previous line, "Things may be extreme and unavoidable, but the Taoist heart of a sword cultivator should stay here and remain unmoved."
Foreign affairs, when it comes to the big picture, are really just external affairs, and it is difficult for us to fully control them. However, the true intention of a cultivator is always just a matter at hand for you and me. It is close at hand, and it is our own skill that can be sharpened anytime and anywhere.
.The human body is small and is just a cone in the sky and the earth, but the human heart encompasses everything and can be higher and greater than the heaven and earth. Especially for sword cultivators, wherever they think and where the flying sword goes, their body, mind and life are free. I think this sentence is very true.
.And this bottle of wine in your hand is given to you for free."
Fan Dache's eyes were clear, he took a swig of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ping'an, if you had said these words to me before, I might have just understood them, but I might not have really heard them. Now
It’s different, I understand.”
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Actually, it's all the same. I've gone through many hardships, big and small, and kept going back and forth, thinking about this and that, and that's how I got to where I am today."
Fan Dache was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Which sage and sage said that sentence that was given to me along with the wine? The more I think about it, the more it makes sense."
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, "Da Che, even if you have a big brain and are not very smart, your eyes are not very good either."
Fan Dache stood up with a smile, slammed the wine bottle in his hand, and was about to go to Chen Sanqiu and the others.
Unexpectedly, Chen Pingan stretched out his hand, grabbed the empty wine bottle, stood up and cursed: "You are a small swordsman in the Longmen realm, pretending to be a hero in front of a big monk in the second realm, the wine bottle is free of charge."
Fan Dache felt guilty and left quickly, but couldn't help but turn around and saw the second shopkeeper, tilting his head, putting his fingers on his temples, and then slowly took off a piece of disguise.
Fan Dache asked: "Chen Ping'an, if I just can't forget her, am I hopeless?"
Chen Ping'an put the face made by Zhu Lian into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Just talking about infatuation and infatuation, there is nothing better than this."
Fan Dache said doubtfully: "Didn't you say that when we first met? You scolded me until I was bloody."
Chen Ping'an, who looked sluggish, took out the sword-raising gourd, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "I don't have the energy to tell you the knowledge here, I will figure it out myself. Also, show me a little bit of the courage of the Dragon Gate Realm Great Sword Immortal, Rooster
A quarrel goes head-to-head, but a swordsman does not hold grudges when fighting."
In fact, Chen Pingan is no longer worried about Fan Dache's emotional injury. Fan Dache seems to be a cultivator with them, and his words and deeds are not outstanding. However, Chen Pingan can be sure that Fan Dache's spiritual path can be very long. What Chen Pingan is more worried about at the moment is that he is afraid
Fan Dache heard what he said and understood it, but found that he couldn't do it, or if he couldn't do it well, it would be another kind of trouble.
A truth that has not been known is itself an invisible negation. Knowing and approving it is a kind of affirmation. Failure to do so is a kind of negation again.
Generally speaking, when it reaches this stage, that principle has reached a dead end, and has reached a burial place in the heart, with no bones left. The most terrifying part is that a series of knowledge similar to this principle will die, and will
One death and one big piece.
I never thought that Fan Dache said: "If I can't be as firm as you said in the future, I can't be immune to the influence of Chen Sanqiu and the others. Chen Ping'an, remember to remind me more, if it doesn't work once, just twice. I am a person
, I don’t have any big advantages, I just listen to my advice.”
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "That's easy to say."
Fan Dache finally said: "Then you also listen to my advice. This war has to be fought. It will take at least a few days and a half. You can recover first and then return to the city. Otherwise, if you continue like this, we will need to leave in the future."
When you rush to the battlefield at the top of the city, it will be difficult for you to return to your peak. You are my swordsman who protects the formation. Even if you are not worried about yourself, you are still worried about my little life. Do you still want to drink free drinks in the future?
Already?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It makes sense."
Chen Pingan actually took out his talisman boat and left the city.
When Fan Dache arrived at the south wall, Ning Yao nodded and smiled at him: "Thank you."
Fan Dache wanted to calm down, but couldn't, so he just laughed.
Dong Huafu commented: "You're so stupid."
Among the group of people, Chen Sanqiu, who killed enemies with flying swords the most gracefully and freely, smiled and said: "Dong Heitan, do you have the ability to let Ning Yao say thank you to you?"
Dong Huafu turned around and asked, "Sister Ning, can you say thank you to me?"
Ning Yao always looked ahead and made a reward with the word "Go".
Dong Huafu nodded, expressing his acceptance, then turned to look at Chen Sanqiu and Fan Dache, and asked: "Sister Ning is never polite to me, can you do this?"
Chen Sanqiu gave a thumbs up.
Fan Dache took a deep breath and used his flying sword. The sword flashed and swept down the city.
Chen Ping'an was driving the talisman boat. He had nothing to do, so he imitated his disciples, lying on the bow of the ferry and rowing with his hands. It seemed that it was really faster?
During the break between the battles, several young sword cultivators from other places withdrew from the south of the city to the wall in the north of the city. Another group of local sword cultivators who had recuperated their strength silently took their place. It was just that
When passing by them, most of them had smiles on their faces.
Yu Xuanfu sat on the north wall, chewing the last piece of pancake. He was full of punches, but could not punch. This made Yu Xuanfu, who could only watch the battle on the top of the city, for the first time in his life, he had no idea about the realm of martial arts.
Climbing high creates a great desire. After all, the Golden Body of the Seventh Realm is not like traveling in the Eighth Realm. As long as you reach the Far Traveling Realm, you can control the wind like a qi practitioner, and you can punch freely.
Zhu Mei's face was pale and he was still frightened. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nothing.
After she used her natal flying sword, she was in danger several times. She was either protected by the Kuxia Sword Immortal or rescued by Jin Zhenmeng. Even Lin Junbi, who was still only a sword cultivator in the sea-viewing realm, helped her once. If Lin Junbi hadn't seen through it,
Disguised as a demon warrior, he deliberately used his sword to lure the opponent into using his killer weapon. In the end, Lin Junbi withdrew the flying sword among the lightning and flints, and Jin Zhenmeng took advantage of the situation to kill the demon with his sword. Zhu Mei would definitely injure his flying sword.
Even if the avenue was not severely damaged at all, she would retreat to the top of the city and go to the Sun Mansion to recover from her injuries. From then on, the whole war had nothing to do with her.
Lin Junbi was talking to Jin Zhenmeng about his experiences in the previous war.
This should be the first time that Lin Junbi and Jin Zhenmeng had such a private chat, talking about the gains and losses, flaws, omissions and many subtleties of the swords played by both parties.
Jin Zhenmeng smiled warmly, and although he still didn't speak much, he was obviously closer to Lin Junbi.
This was also the first time that Jin Zhenmeng felt that Lin Junbi, a talented young man who seemed to be clean all year round, had some human flavor for the first time.
Lin Junbi took out an exquisite small porcelain bottle made by the Shao Yuan Dynasty Manufacturing Office, and poured out three pills of different colors. He kept one goose-yellow pill for himself, and the remaining two crow-green and spring-green pills, and threw them to Jin respectively.
Zhen Meng and Zhu Mei.
Jin Zhenmeng and Zhu Mei were similar. They both hesitated for a moment and still chose to accept it. The three of them swallowed the pills each.
Lin Junbi began to hold his breath and concentrate, breathing in and out, the pills gradually dissolved, and the spiritual energy poured into several key Qi mansions.
Lin Junbi divided his mind and continued to think over and over the end of the original interrogation game.
Every review can make Lin Junbi's Taoist heart a little more complete.
Back then, the young man in white who called himself Cui Dongshan asked Lin Junbi a question while twisting the pieces from the chessboard and putting them into the chess jar, asking Lin Junbi if he dared to stay at the Great Sword Wall and use his sword to kill monsters.
Lin Junbi said he dared, but the risk was too great and the benefits too small, so it didn't seem worth it.
"It's not a suggestion, it's an order. Because you are too stupid, I have to say more, lest my good intentions will be turned into a piece of donkey liver and lung by you. What was originally a great good thing will in turn become a reason for you to complain about me. When the time comes,
I beat you to death and you still feel wronged."
Cui Dongshan pinched a chess piece with his fingers and shook it, "First of all, it doesn't matter how many big demons you kill after you stay. If you can kill more and win the recognition of one or two sword immortals, it will be even more important."
good."
Cui Dongshan casually threw the chess piece into the chess jar, and then twisted the chess piece, "Second, with Ku Xia by your side, you will not die if you pay attention to yourself. Ku Xia is stupider than you, but after all, he is a
A rare good person on the mountain, so the more you act like a good person, the more decisive you are with your sword, and the more monsters you kill, then on top of the city, every day that passes, the more Ku Xia will recognize you, and Ku Xia already has this in mind.
Death will, so it is impossible to say that one day, Ku Xia is willing to change his way of death, not only for himself, but for you, Lin Junbi, for the future pillar of the Shaoyuan Dynasty. At this moment, you need to pay attention,
Don't let Ku Xia Sword Immortal really die fighting for you here. You, Lin Junbi, must continue to use Zhu Mei and Jin Zhenmeng, especially Zhu Mei, to let Ku Xia give up the idea of dying generously and escort you away from the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Remember
, Even if Kuxia Sword Immortal insists on returning to the Great Wall of Sword Qi alone, he should escort you all the way to Nanbosuo Continent before he can turn around and return. How to do it, what's the point, I won't teach you, your young heart will
Rusty brain, think for yourself."
Cui Dongshan threw the second chess piece into the chess jar, "Third, on your way back from Hanging Mountain, when you get along with Zhu Mei and Jin Zhenmeng, from the beginning to the end, stick to the key points. You must not add any unnecessary extravagance to try to win people's hearts. You might as well teach
Here's a tip for you. Lin Junbi, who usually gets along with them day and night, is still the same Lin Junbi who thinks he is noble. He must be completely different from the Lin Junbi who used to kill monsters with a sword on the city wall, otherwise you will lose all your previous efforts. Zhu Mei and Jin
A true dream is not a strict one like Jiang Guancheng. The latter is pragmatic and the former is relatively pragmatic. They are two different worlds. You should weigh it yourself."
"Fourth, when you return to the Shaoyuan Dynasty in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, where the literary style is flourishing, you just shut up and don't say a word. If you can't shut up, you go into seclusion to thank the guests. Before shutting up, of course you should talk to
Your husband has a secret conversation. If you are honest with him, you don't have to hide any big or small matters except for me. Don't treat your husband as a fool. The Imperial Master will understand your intentions and not only will he not be disgusted, but will
I'm happy because you and him are on the same path. He will naturally help you protect your path secretly and do some things for you as a proud disciple. He will not go out personally to make you famous. His methods are too inferior.
, I believe that the Imperial Master will not only not do this, but will also control the fire and do the opposite. Yan Lu, who is even more stupid than you, is already your chess piece anyway. When he returns to his hometown, he will do what he should do.
Say what he should say. But the Imperial Master will suppress the rumors in the Shaoyuan Dynasty and will not allow you to exaggerate your experience at the Sword Qi Great Wall. Then you can wait for the Xuegong Academy to speak for you. During this period, Lin Junbiyue
It’s about keeping silent. The more Shao Yuan Dynasty keeps silent, the praise from all directions will come to the door on its own, and you can’t stop it even if you close the door.”
"Not only the Shaoyuan Dynasty, but also all surrounding dynasties, vassals, emperors, generals, ministers, ministers, monks on the mountain, and people in the market below the mountain will all know that there is a young man named Lin Junbi who travels to the Great Sword Qi Wall. He dares not to retreat in the face of battle, and can kill with his sword.
Demon."
Cui Dongshan twisted the chess piece with his fingers and asked with a smile: "In this 'fourth', where is the most subtle point? Think about it carefully, the answer will not disappoint me."
Lin Junbi replied: "Let my husband feel that my behavior is still a little immature, and also allow him to do things that my students cannot do, and he will not have any grudges in his heart."
Cui Dongshan lost the chess piece, "Fortunately, I'm not stupid enough to die. Just wait, the battle on the Great Wall of Sword Qi will become more and more fierce in the future, and the world will be stunned by a stick. If you wake up a little, you, Lin Junbi, are here
The deeds of the Sword Qi Great Wall will become more valuable."
Cui Dongshan picked up a chess piece again and said with a smile: "Even those Confucian saints, gentlemen and sages who belong to different cultural backgrounds and traditions from your husband will look at you Lin Junbi with admiration. The Imperial Master regards you as a more promising person.
Although he is a closed disciple, the Confucian academy may not continue to regard Lin Junbi as a disciple of the dynasty's national master. The mystery here, if you experience it yourself, will make you feel like drinking fine wine."
Cui Dongshan shook his fingers and chess pieces, "But don't get carried away. All praise today will become criticism in the future. The people who praise and criticize are often the same people. This is another wonderful thing. If you think about it, it is again
A pot of fine wine is very intoxicating."
Cui Dongshan lost the chess piece in his hand and smashed it into the chess jar. The chess pieces collided with a crisp sound. He shook his sleeves and said, "Yan Lu can be put to good use. Zhu Mei must be recognized by her, especially the latter."
, if the relationship between the two parties is properly handled, you will have unexpected surprises."
Lin Junbi asked softly: "Is it the family behind Zhu Mei?"
Cui Dongshan shook his head and said: "It's more than that. You are really stupid. What kind of chess are you playing? You only look at one or two moves after each move, and you want to win?"
Lin Junbi said sincerely: "Mr. Cui, please help me clear up my doubts."
Cui Dongshan said: "What Zhu Mei said is no better than what Yu Xuanfu saw with his own eyes. The two women are inseparable, and their relationship is intimate and pure. What words can't they say? Yu Xuanfu recognizes Zhu Mei's character, and Zhu Mei
Lin Junbi, who recognizes you, will naturally say a few truly fair words for you. It is precisely because of Zhu Mei’s innocence that Yu Xuanfu can listen to you. Then your clumsy city in the Great Wall of Sword Qi will not be tolerated by Yu Xuanfu.
In the eyes, not only will it not become a flaw in Lin Junbi's life in the Shaoyuan Dynasty, but it will intensify her positive view of you. Is this understandable?"
Lin Junbi said softly: "I am afraid that my understanding may be wrong and not profound enough, so I would like to hear the details."
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "There is no fault in people, and they are the most unapproachable. Once I deny you, and then I approve you, this kind of approval will be more firm and unshakable than when I first met you. You don't understand this? You can't even play chess."
, people’s minds can’t understand, I’m a little regretful that I want to do this long-term business with you. Why do I feel like I’m going to lose money? Lin Junbi, I’ve played so many games of chess with you, and I’m not worried at all. I never wanted to join forces with you.
I’m worried about doing business, what should I do?”
Lin Junbi started to speak but stopped.
Cui Dongshan narrowed his eyes, "I can only ask but not think? Do you know that my patience is limited, I will kill you, do you know why? If you answer wrong, you will die."
Sweat broke out on Lin Junbi's forehead, "I can be stupid to death, but I can't drag Mr. Cui's business trip and find a stupid person to do business."
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Good boy, you can still be taught."
Cui Dongshan put his palms on the chess pieces inside the chess jar, rubbed them gently, and said casually: "A Middle-earth sword cultivator who is smart enough but dares to die, and a pure martial artist Yu Xuanfu who was also born in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, isn't it?
It will be annoying. The Yu family, and even the old man Zhou Shenzhi, what do you think will happen to a young swordsman who can make Yu Xuanhu not disliked? Is it a trivial matter? Is it a trivial matter? The Yu family, Zhou Shenzhi,
How many of these old immortals have seen less of Lin Junbi, the so-called half-hearted smart man? The old man of the Yu family single-handedly controlled the destruction and rise of two dynasties. What kind of smart man have not seen him? Old man Zhou is alive.
After thousands of years, they are accustomed to seeing the ups and downs of world affairs. What they rarely see is the kind of young people who are both smart and stupid. They are full of energy and do not take the world in their eyes. However, they are full of energy and dare to do something in certain situations.
Above all matters of right and wrong, we should not hesitate to gain fame, wealth or life."
Cui Dongshan gently raised his hand, leaving it just an inch away from the chess pot, flipped his wrist slightly, and said with a smile: "This is the subtle changes in people's hearts. The scenery is magnificent, but you can't really see it. Careful as hair? Are cultivators like gods?"
Guest, don't use your good eyesight, pretend to be blind, practice Taoism, and cultivate a shitty Taoist heart. You, Lin Junbi, are a mountain man destined to show off your skills in the temple. You don't understand the human heart, how to identify people, and how to control people.
Human beings? How can we use people’s hearts without doubting them?”
Lin Junbi was sincerely convinced and solemnly said: "Mr. Cui is brilliant, Lin Junbi has learned from it."
Cui Dongshan raised his head, "Gao Ming? Just use such a vulgar term to describe me."
Lin Junbi shook his head and said: "It is both high and wise! There is only the sun and the moon! This is a state that I am willing to spend my whole life pursuing. It is by no means the wise that the worldly people call it."
Cui Dongshan laughed loudly, "This flattering person is very like my mountain style. Very good, very good. If there is a chance in the future, I may really want to accept you as a disciple. Then you can go to the Patriarch Hall to kowtow, burn incense and hang up the statue.
.”
Lin Junbi actually already had a guess in his mind, but it was just too unbelievable to believe.
Cui Dongshan suppressed his smile, looked down at the chessboard, and with a flick of his palm, all the chess pieces fell into the chess pot. Then he twisted out a lone black piece and placed it on the chessboard, and then picked up the white pieces one by one to form a big circle.
Cui Dongshan said: "Since I treat you as a half-disciple, I have to show some real skills. Take Yan Lv as an example for this sunspot. You have to teach this sunspot to feel free and unrestricted.
, life is full of hope. But his human heart and all his thoughts are actually under your control. His life, death, gain and loss are all within your calculations."
Lin Junbi felt that this principle was simple and not difficult to understand.
Then Cui Dongshan formed a larger circle of sunspots outside the white ones, "This is the heart of old man Zhou, the old man of the Yu family. How do you break the situation?"
Lin Junbi pondered for a long time, raised his arm and wiped his forehead, shook his head and said: "There is no solution, don't even think about breaking the situation."
Cui Dongshan nodded, "Yes, half right."
Cui Dongshan picked up a white piece and threw it on the chessboard outside of the black pieces. "On the chessboard for a while, the situation is hard to change. After all, life is not a chess game. There is only one chess piece between each hand. But don't forget that people's hearts are careless.
You are restrained, so you can just throw away your thoughts, hide in the distance, widen your eyes, and carefully look at the larger chessboard of heaven and earth. Zhou Shenzhi is nothing. This is cultivating the mind."
Lin Junbi lowered his head and stared at the chessboard, which was not a chess score, and fell into deep thought.
"Hey, the deer is roaring, eating the wormwood in the wild, eating the apples in the wild. I have fine wine, I play the sheng and the drum, but unfortunately I don't have any guests."
Cui Dongshan stopped looking at the earth, turned his head to look at the sky, and said with a smile: "A guest on the mountain, Mr. Yun Zhong, saw the flying birds passing by, and the sky was white."
On the top of the city, at this moment, Lin Junbi also imitated the "boy in white" and looked up.
That person is Cui Chan, who wrote the "Caiyun Pu".
His chess skills are even higher than those of Cui Chan back then.
The young man in white put away the chess jar and chessboard. After standing up, he said the last words to Lin Junbi, "I teach you this to tell you that there is no point in calculating people's hearts. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense."
Chen Pingan did not return to Ning Mansion directly, but went to a wine shop.
The shop is not closed, but there are no customers.
Zhang Jiazhen and Jiang Qu, two young long-term workers who previously helped in the wine shop, have secretly gone to Daoxuan Mountain like Jindan Sword Master Cui Wei. Zhong Qiu and Pei Qiancao Qinglang will travel to Nanbosuo Continent, and the two young men will follow.
Cui Dongshan went to Aquarius Island together.
The three people who are now helping in the wine shop are the young man named Qiu Long, the young girl named Liu E, and the youngest child named Taoban. They are all shop assistants selected by Die Zhang, and they are all familiar neighbors.
Among them, Taoban is not the same as Feng Kangle, who is the same age. Feng Kangle, who started saving money to prepare for marrying a wife at a young age, is really not afraid of anything. He is also able to watch people's words and make decisions according to the wind, but Taoban is not like him.
Only Qiu Long and Liu E, who were sitting at the table chatting, saw the amiable second shopkeeper. They still acted nervously and stood up, as if they were sitting at the wine table.
Being lazy, Chen Pingan smiled and stretched out his hand to press twice, "There are no guests, so please feel free to do so."
Taoban was the only one lying in a daze on a bench at a wine table elsewhere, staring blankly at the deserted street.
Chen Ping'an sat at the wine table and asked with a smile: "Why, you can't win over Feng Kangle for your little wife, are you unhappy?"
Taoban said gloomily: "Second shopkeeper, do you think I am the kind of swordsman that no one can tell?"
Chen Pingan was speechless.
Chen Ping'an patted the table and said, "Go and bring me a bottle of wine, as usual."
Taoban got up unhappy and shouted: "Sister Liu E, go get a bottle of wine from the second shopkeeper, don't forget to collect the money."
Chen Pingan took out a piece of snow and spent money, handed it to Liu E, and said that there was no need for the pickles and Yangchun noodles, but only wine. Soon the girl brought a pot of wine and a white bowl and placed them gently on the table.
Chen Pingan poured a bowl of Zhuhai Dongtian wine and took a sip of the wine.
Taoban sat up and lay on the wine table, feeling a little bored. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Second shopkeeper, I don't want to sell wine for the rest of my life."
Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "Then what do you want to do?"
Taoban said: "I haven't thought about it either."
Chen Pingan drank wine and said nothing more.
Taoban had nothing to say and said: "Second shopkeeper, do you know that a lot of people say bad things about you behind your back? Many of the customers who come to our place to buy wine complain for you. There are many words that are very satisfying just to listen to them.
Infuriating."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I don't know. Can you tell me?"
Taoban then started pouring beans into the bamboo tube and said exactly what he had heard.
Taoban saw that the second shopkeeper was just drinking and was not angry. The child became a little angry and said angrily: "Second shopkeeper, you are not deaf, did you listen to me?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I'm listening."
The east wind blows up the willow catkins, and the east wind blows down the willow catkins.
The same east wind, the same willow catkins, ups and downs, what do you care about.
It's just that this kind of truth is too boring, and there is no need to repeat it to a child.
So Chen Ping'an seemed to realize it later and said in a feint of anger: "These bastards are so annoying."
The child was eager to try: "What should we do?"
Chen Ping'an hovered the wine bowl in his hand and squinted: "Are you helping me fight, or are you helping me look out?"
Taoban sighed and lay down on the table again, "When there are many customers, I feel tired. Without customers, I feel bored again. What's going on?"
Taoban glared and said, "You are so boring. You are no longer a storyteller. You don't care about the shop. You don't know what to do all day long."
Chen Ping'an waved his hand and said, "I spent money to buy wine. I should have a plate of pickles and a bowl of Yangchun noodles for you."
Taoban smiled from ear to ear.
Liu E, who had been listening to the conversation with her ears pricked up, immediately went to say hello to Uncle Feng and make a bowl of Yangchun noodles for the second shopkeeper.
Chen Pingan drank wine leisurely.
For no reason, I was reminded of the disaster that happened to the old servant Liu in the Lion Garden of Qingluan Kingdom.
Scholars who cherish feathers value their reputation the most, so they are most afraid of losing their reputation at the end of the year.
Cui Dongshan said that those interlocking and sinister methods were all the ideas of Liu Qingfeng, the eldest son of the old minister, and Li Baozhen, a fellow villager in the small town, just followed them.
Chen Pingan turned his head and looked at the large and small restaurants on the street behind him, the empty street.
In fact, the people and words Taoban mentioned did not make Chen Pingan feel surprised at all. It could even be said that he had already guessed it. Just like Chen Pingan's inscription on the side of the seal, there are no accidents in the world.
For today's Chen Pingan, it is difficult to get angry.
It has nothing to do with that disappointment.
There must be someone who once met the young master Chen Sanqiu at a wine table or on Taixiang Street or Yuhu Street. Some people flattered Chen Sanqiu but to no avail, so they began to secretly hate Chen Sanqiu. The second shopkeeper was friends with Chen Sanqiu, so even
Chen Ping'an, let's remember the grudge together.
There must also be a swordsman who looked down on Diezhang's background, but envied Diezhang's opportunities and cultivation, so he hated the hustle and bustle of the wine shop and the young second shopkeeper who was in the spotlight for a while.
There were those peers who once followed the trend and ridiculed Fatty Yan. Later, Yan Pei's realm became higher and higher. From looking down and scorning, he became more and more interested in looking up to Yan Pei and Ning Mansion. They were all familiar with Chen Pingan.
People will feel unhappy and scratch their hearts.
There must be those young drinkers who tried to get close to the second shopkeeper at Diezhang Liquor Shop. They just felt that they could never chat with the second shopkeeper. At first, they didn’t think much about it, but as Chen Pingan became more and more famous,
In the minds of those people, it became a real loss of vital interests. Over time, they no longer went there to buy wine and drink. They also liked to talk about that little restaurant with their friends in other restaurants.
The sarcastic conversation between the wine shop and Chen Ping'an was very pleasant. The more people who agreed, the better the drinking experience would be.
These people, especially when they remembered that they had been pretending to be squatting on the roadside with those sword cultivators, drinking wine and eating pickles, suddenly felt uneasy, so they organized a wine shop with their colleagues and became more and more energetic.
The more lively the wine shop is, the better the business. People who are drinking elsewhere and saying those weird words look around. Even if there are not many people around, they have many reasons to comfort themselves. They may even feel that everyone is drunk and they are sober.
, in twos and threes, hugging each other for warmth, and becoming close friends, which is really sincere.
It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that all plants and trees are moistened by a single rain.
As the old saying goes, the same rice feeds all kinds of people, but it actually means the same thing.
It is very easy to deny anyone.
Whether it is the boss swordsman of the Great Sword Qi Wall, or the Confucian moral sage who dominates the world, or the sages of hundreds of schools of thought, any person in the world, as long as others want to find fault, can easily deny it and kill others in my heart.
You can do things that everyone can do, otherwise you will become an outlier. You can’t just do them, otherwise you will be mediocre and you will be the one who suffers in the end.
It would be difficult to truly recognize someone.
Chen Ping'an's pleasure now is not to compete with them at all, but to have free time. As long as he has the opportunity, he will try his best to see the complicated lives of these people and the world of their hearts.
Chen Ping'an took a big sip of wine. The bowl of wine was already finished, so he poured another bowl.
Looking at the peach plate that was engrossed in devouring it, Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Taoban ignored it.
Chen Pingan drank wine and missed his hometown a little.
When he was young, in a small town, a child once climbed a tree to retrieve a broken paper kite hanging on a high branch, but was accused of being a thief.
Once, he was watching his peers playing and playing from a distance in the Immortal Tomb. Someone was bitten by a snake. The child hurriedly asked around at Yang's shop, learned secretly, and overheard some herbal prescriptions to help the child.
Apply medicine to a child bitten by a snake.
After that, I saw the black charcoal children of Mud Bottle Alley who were alone all year round and watched them play from a distance. The ones who scolded the most fiercely and threw the mud the hardest were precisely these children who had had trouble with the orphans of Mud Bottle Alley.
Contact with peers.
At that time, Chen Ping'an didn't understand why this happened. As he grew older, he would understand that if he didn't do this, they would lose their friends.
But this does not delay those children. When they grow up, they will be filial to their parents, help the elderly in the neighborhood carry water, and grab water in the middle of the night.
There will also be those young people who become hustlers, and some are even lucky enough to become the helpers of the wealthy people in Fulu Street and Taoye Lane. Whenever they find an opportunity, they will glare and do whatever they want.
Fierce state.
Even so, it still doesn’t delay. Some of these people will get the reward. After returning home, they will take their younger brothers and sisters, whose clothes are shabby and shabby, with their toes standing “outside the door” all year round, to a small town shop and spend a lot of money to buy a new product.
There are a lot of New Year's goods, and then let parents cook a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, which is lively and reunited.
I will make bamboo dragonflies, bamboo knives and bamboo swords for my younger brothers and sisters.
There are also people who were all bad-hearted in the whole family when they were young, and they are still like this when they grow up. Then they get married and have children, and their life is okay, not too good. The family never quarrels over some right or wrong.
All of his cognitions seemed to have a harmony similar to that of a small world. Even though Chen Ping'an became a kiln worker's apprentice, he still didn't understand why it was so at the time. Later, he traveled a lot and read a lot of books.
Only then did I understand the reason.
The child in Mud Bottle Lane is growing up day by day. Regarding the experiences he had when he was young, he will be unhappy and aggrieved in every moment, big and small.
He could only squat alone, shake his head, play with grass, or at the Immortal Tomb, facing the dilapidated statues of the gods, make little clay figurines that were too rough to be true.
I would also pick up a dead branch casually, and jump up and down alone on a country road with lush vegetation, using the dead branch as a sword, slashing along the way, panting, and very happy.
I would also suffer from toothache and my face would be red and swollen. I could only chew some local herbs in my mouth and not want to talk for several days.
But as long as there is no illness or disaster, no pain anywhere on the body, even if you eat a meal or go hungry, you are happy.
I would also be unable to sleep in the middle of the night, so I would go to Suolongjing or under the old locust tree alone. As long as a lonely child looks at the bright stars in the sky, he will feel as if he has nothing, and as if he has everything.
Later, the little slug in the same alley grew up and could walk and talk.
The boy with straw sandals in Mu Ping Lane also met Liu Xianyang.
Later, I became a kiln worker's apprentice, and I felt that I had a little extra hope in life.
We need to take more care of the little slugs and learn more skills from Liu Xianyang.
Chen Pingan hopes that the three of them will have enough food and clothing in the future. No matter what happens in the future, whether it is a big disaster or a small obstacle, they can go through it smoothly, get through it, and get through it.
The little slug said that he must make a lot of money so that his mother can wear gold and silver every day when she goes out, and she also wants to move to the house on Fulu Street.
When the time comes, all the bastards who have bullied their mother-in-law will be scared to death if they don’t go looking for trouble. They will slap themselves in the mouth, and even come to the door with chickens and ducks to admit their mistakes. Otherwise, Gu Can will not
He would forgive them. If he had scolded him a hundred times before, he would scold him several hundred times in return. If he had kicked him once before, he would have kicked him back seven or eight times, until the other person rolled on the ground and almost died.
Liu Xianyang said that he wanted to become the person with the best craftsmanship among all the Long Kiln kilns. He wanted to learn all the skills of Old Man Yao. The porcelain he fired by himself wanted to become an object placed on the emperor's table, and it also wanted to be used by the emperor.
The emperor treats the old man as a family heirloom. When he gets old and becomes an old man, Liu Xianyang will definitely be more majestic than old man Yao, scolding all the clumsy disciples and apprentices every day.
Liu Xianyang also hopes that he can break bricks with just one punch and cross the widest stream in one step. All those who have studied in schools and those who can say a few vitriolic sentences must face this problem.
He, Liu Xianyang, was impressed and begged to write Spring Festival couplets for his old Liu family.
At that time, there were almost three people who had their own wishes. In fact, everyone felt that it was very big and the biggest at that time.
But no one thought that compared with the three people's future life experiences, such a big wish at that time seemed not to be big, or even very small.
It's just that Gu Can has become the kind of person that all three of them hated the most.
Liu Xianyang did not become that kind of hero, but became a veritable scholar.
Chen Ping'an, who just wanted to live a stable life, did not live a stable life.
I made a lot of money, traveled a long way, and met many people and things that I never dared to think about before. I am no longer the child with straw sandals carrying a big basket on the mountain to collect herbs. I just changed one and can't see or touch it.
The big basket is full of stories that I couldn’t bear to throw away on the road of life, so I picked them up one by one and put them into the basket behind my back.
The endings of some stories are far from happy. Lovers fail to become dependents, and good-hearted people seem to have no reward. Some partings that were not sad at the time actually have no chance of reunion. The endings of some stories are beautiful at the same time.
There are also shortcomings. Some stories have not yet had their endings.
But Chen Ping'an has always believed that there is nothing wrong with seeing light in darkness and giving birth to hope in desperate situations.
Chen Pingan put down the wine bowl and was lost in thought.
I remembered that old man Yao who liked to be alone with his hands in his sleeves.
I remember the first time I followed the old man into the mountains to look for soil suitable for making porcelain. Suddenly there was a heavy snowfall. The wind was biting and the snow was knee deep. The boy in thin straw sandals almost froze to death.
The silent old man went on his way, but slowed down his pace, and rarely said a few words, "I walked on the mountain road in the winter, the weather was freezing, I finally made some money, but I couldn't bear to spend a single penny, so I just
To freeze yourself to death?"
"It's cold and the journey is long, so why don't you just wear more clothes? You can't even think about it? If your parents don't teach you, why don't you think about it?"
On the windy and snowy road that seemed to have no end, the young man who suffered the crime was unable to cry even as he listened to the more heartbreaking words.
The old man never cared about Chen Pingan's life and death.
But when Chen Pingan really felt that despair again, a man caught up with him. Not only did he bring Chen Pingan a large package containing a heavy cotton-padded jacket and dry food, the tall boy also yelled at him for being serious.
An old man who has kowtowed to his master after eight classics is not a thing.
Chen Ping'an didn't pay attention, someone stretched out his hand and strangled his neck, causing his body to fall backwards.
Instead of holding back when he was ready, the man tightened his arm and rubbed Chen Ping'an's head with his other hand. He laughed and said, "He's very tall now! Have you ever asked me if I agreed?!"
Chen Ping'an's eyes turned red and he murmured, "Why are you here now?"
The only person in the world who can give advice on Chen Pingan's life, and who Chen Pingan is willing to listen to, has arrived at the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
