A tall young man and a beautiful woman entered the territory of Longzhou of the Great Li Dynasty together, a geomantic treasure land after the Lizhu Cave Sky was broken and took root in the earth.
There are many landscape stories here, and it is also a first-class spiritual practice in Aquarius Island.
It's just that all the landscapes and people's affairs seem to be stained with the mist of mountains and rivers, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
When the two of them walked along the Tiefu River to Huaihuang County, they passed by the Temple of the Water Goddess, which is very popular with incense. Due to their status and spiritual foundation, neither of them dared to go in and burn incense. When they finally saw the east gate of the county,
, the young man was relieved and said with emotion: "We are finally here. Miss Ma, should we visit Mr. Chen at the top of the mountain first, or should we go to Gu Can's house in Zhoucheng as a guest? Luopo Mountain may be harder to find, and it is easier to find the way to Zhoucheng.
"
This couple's trip north to Longzhou was not easy, mainly because Gu Can suddenly asked them to go north by themselves. He and the weird scholar named Liu Chicheng were going to visit the Xu family in Qingfeng City.
Zeng Ye, who had a timid temperament, was very worried. In his early years, he was dragged out of the big fire pit on Maoyue Island by Zhang Jing, the steward of Qingxia Island, and brought to the hut at the entrance of the mountain. When he met the accountant, Zeng Ye's life changed.
Ushered in earth-shaking changes, and later met Gu Can. From fear to closeness to now dependence, it only took a few years. For a Taoist who likes to meditate, it seems like a snap of a finger.
I don't know when, Zeng Ye, who had nightmares just by looking at Gu Can, now feels uncomfortable everywhere without Gu Can by his side.
In fact, Zeng Ye, who was born to practice in the ghost realm, has achieved breakthroughs in practice over the years very slowly, and can even be said to be extremely fast. It is only because of Gu Can beside him that he is not conspicuous.
Zeng Ye is now a veritable Qigong Practitioner in the Guanhai Realm. He can be regarded as "the Immortal Master of the Fifth Realm" in the rivers, lakes and mountains of ordinary small vassal countries.
Because he has practiced heretical techniques and has a strong Yin Qi, Zeng Ye and Gu Can were able to get close to the landscape temples and the top of the Immortal Family Mountain during this trip to the north. However, when they parted ways with Gu Can, they did not have the courage to do so.
In addition, Ma Duyi next to her is even more ghostly. She only relies on the fox skin talisman to walk in the world. In the eyes of those mountain immortal masters with profound Taoism, Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi can easily be regarded as
The existence of treason and filth.
Ma Duyi hung a jade plaque around her waist. It was the Peace and Nothingness plaque that Gu Can left for them as a talisman. She thought about it and said with a smile: "Let's go to Luolu Mountain first. We are so familiar with Mr. Chen, so we shouldn't be rejected.
Even if Mr. Chen isn't there, it's not difficult to ask for a cup of tea, right?"
Zeng Ye grinned and said, "Okay, I think so too."
There are always some people who feel more at ease when they think about them.
After passing Huaihuang County, I asked the local people for directions, but I couldn't understand the language. I couldn't speak like a duck. I finally found a shopkeeper who could speak Dali Mandarin. However, the shopkeeper couldn't tell the specific address of Luolu Mountain, so he just said
As a general rule, after passing the small town, first find the Pearl Mountain, which is just a small mountain. Then we will find an opportunity to ask the way to the gods in the mountain.
Entering the spiritual mountains, the two of them had to search for a long time, only to find the gray mountain in the territory of Luolu Mountain. After going south, they ended up at the foot of the cliff side of Luolu Mountain, directly south.
The mountain gate was not too far away, but Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi saw an incredible scene. First, they saw a little girl in black, with her back to them, looking up at the sea of clouds hanging high on the cliff like a snow-white belt. The little girl
He carried a small golden shoulder pole on one shoulder and a green bamboo hiking pole on the other. He shouted loudly: "Pei Qian, Pei Qian, please don't jump wrong this time. It will be troublesome to fill in the hole."
Zeng Ye glanced around the little girl and saw that the ground was full of potholes.
The green bamboo hiking pole on the little girl’s shoulder looks very familiar!
The little girl in black suddenly turned her head, looked at the two foreigners who had stopped in the distance, and fled with lightning speed.
Zeng Ye suddenly looked up.
A black dot broke through the sea of clouds, and with a whistling sound, it suddenly fell. In an instant, a tall and thin figure hit the ground heavily. There was a loud noise, the earth trembled, and dust flew up.
Zeng Ye concentrated his attention and stared into the distance.
In the big pit, there was a girl with slightly dark skin and a thin body. She squatted on her knees, stood up slowly, turned to look at the little girl in black squatting on the edge of the big pit with her head in her hands, and complained: "Little
Mi Li, what's going on? If it weren't for my sharp eyesight and changing the route to land, you would have fallen into the pit and hurt you. What should I do? I don't want you to stay where you are..."
As the words were spoken, the girl with shocking behavior walked up to the little girl with a few seemingly casual steps, and then intentionally or unintentionally, she stood between Zhou Mili and the two outsiders.
Ma Duyi found that the girl had a pair of poorly woven straw sandals on her feet, with blood flowing from them.
Ma Duyi couldn't help but glance at the cliff and then at the girl.
Is this suicide by jumping off a cliff, or is it a joke?
After all, Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were not pure martial artists, and they did not know the many subtleties of the girl jumping off the cliff and "hitting the ground".
Ask about boxing!
The girl is using her body to fight the earth.
It is necessary to restrain all the fist intentions that are like the protection of gods, and use the pure body to use the force of falling to "deliver the heaviest punch" from the sky to the world.
In the words of a girl, I want to give the cerebellum on the ground a hard blow!
This is a boxing method that the girl came up with on her own. Of course Nuanshu disagrees and thinks it is too dangerous. Pei Qian is only at the fifth realm and his physical body is not strong enough. Xiaomi Li thinks it is feasible, two on one, so he can do it. Chen
Nuanshu wanted to ask the old cook, but Pei Qian stepped on the six green bricks on the ground outside the bamboo building, walked six steps to clear the way, jumped up, and disappeared.
Zhou Mili was lying on the edge of the cliff with his butt stuck out. Chen Nuanshu was extremely anxious. The old cook had appeared on the edge of the cliff unknowingly. He glanced at the ground and clicked his tongue.
Chen Nuanshu breathed a sigh of relief, it looked like everything was fine.
Later, Pei Qian quickly climbed up the cliff, then limped, his eyes were shining, and he laughed and said: "It's so good!"
Zhu Lian didn't say anything, turned around and left.
As a result, there were many large pits on the ground.
Zhou Mili quietly made a stab at Pei Qian, and scolded Chen Nuanshu, who was rarely angry.
Hence the scene that Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi saw today.
If this is Luo Luo Shan's way of hospitality, it would be considered unique.
Pei Qian took a few more glances at the two strangers who had come from afar and asked, "Is the abacus sound coming from the left or the right?"
Zeng Ye was confused.
Ma Duyi replied: "Facing the mountain gate, the accounting room on the left."
Pei Qian then smiled and clasped his fists and said: "The founding disciple of Luolu Mountain, Pei Qian has met fellow Taoist Zeng and Sister Ma!"
Ma Duyi sighed in her heart, what a smart girl. She has better eyesight! You know, Gu Can said privately that Liu Chicheng used a blind trick on both of them to help cover up the aura of evil, but Gu Can also said that there was no need to discuss this matter with Zeng.
Ye revealed that when traveling abroad, Zeng Ye just had to be careful when walking. Ma Duyi laughed and cursed at that time, was he worried that I would get into trouble by wandering around, right? Gu Can smiled and said nothing, and just handed over the priceless piece of peace.
No problem card.
Ma Duyi stopped arguing with Gu Can. In fact, in the final analysis, it was Gu Can who thought more and became more mature. Sometimes when getting along with Zeng Ye, without Gu Can by his side, he would lament that Gu Can learned things too quickly.
No matter what you are studying, there is no need to say much about practice. You can speak Mandarin and dialects from various places, travel on horseback with the heroes you meet by chance, have fun chatting with officials and figures on spring outings, and have daily routines with rural woodcutters and ordinary people in the market, just like Gu Canshi from time to time.
You can do as the Romans do in every situation, and you can easily separate Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye by a wide margin.
At this moment, Zhou Mili was standing next to Pei Qian, tilting his head and frowning. Then he pretended to be enlightened and nodded lightly, pretending that he was used to the world and understood everything.
Since we were entertaining guests, it was not easy to take the cliff route home, so Pei Qian took the two guests to take a detour to the mountain gate.
Of course, I didn’t forget to introduce the millet grains of Luo Luo Shan Right Protector.
Zhou Mili reminded in a low voice: "He is the right protector of Luo Luo Mountain. He used to be the right protector of Qilongxiang, but now he is the right protector of Xian..."
Pei Qian coughed.
Zhou Mili immediately shut up, stood on tiptoes, stretched out his palms to cover his mouth, "Don't keep accounts, don't keep accounts, I haven't said anything yet."
Pei Qian rubbed her little head and said nothing. What kind of accounts should be kept? In fact, Xiaomili and Nuanshu only have credit books, and there is no small account book at all. It's just this kind of thing, you can't talk about it, otherwise Xiaomili will easily become confused.
.
After hearing this, Ma Duyi's expression remained as usual. In fact, he was stunned for a long time. Zeng Ye was fine on the contrary. Mr. Chen always viewed human affairs in the world with a calm mind as long as it did not interfere with the principles.
When we arrived at the mountain gate, Zheng Dafeng was no longer there.
Now the young man Yuan Lai is staying there temporarily and is responsible for looking after the gate.
Cen Yuanji just happened to practice boxing from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Now he is a martial artist in the fourth realm, but the bottleneck of the three realms has been broken a little staggeringly. It is good but not very good. The old cook said it is very good, but Cen Yuanji himself is not satisfied.
No matter how good the relationship between Yuan Bao and Yuan Bao is, both of them are pure martial artists, so there will definitely be competition. This is often the case with women. No matter how good the relationship is, there will always be little competition hidden between the cute eyebrows and beautiful smiles. These are just human beings.
The common feeling is actually more graceful and touching than the man's competitiveness.
What's more, the master of Yuanbao Yuanlai's sister and brother is Lu Baixiang, and Cen Yuanji has always regarded Mr. Zhu as his preaching teacher. Mr. Zhu and Lu Baixiang seem to be of the same generation in Luolu Mountain, and there is no dispute between the two seniors.
What, she and Yuan Bao are two disciples, so they still have to compete.
Yuan Lai, a young man in green shirt, was taking advantage of his sister's absence to sit under the wall and read a book. When Cen Yuanji walked six steps to the foot of the mountain, he stopped reading and looked at Miss Cen.
Before Uncle Zheng traveled far away, he left a lot of books for Yuan Lai in the study room of the house, and told the young man earnestly that when he got older, he could go to the old cook's private library, where the books would be great for learning.
.The young man was a little fascinated.
Seeing Pei Qian and his party, the young man had no choice but to pull his mind out of Miss Cen's beautiful eyes and quickly walked towards the mountain gate archway. After listening to Pei Qian's introduction, he asked the two young mountain masters
It was an old acquaintance from abroad who bowed and saluted. The young man suddenly realized that this was the etiquette of scholars. If his sister found out, he would be scolded. Yuan Lai quickly clasped his fists and smiled.
After Cen Yuanji said hello, he continued to practice boxing and mountain climbing alone.
Mr. Zhu once said that if you follow the right path, hard work can make up for your weakness. You can’t practice boxing to death. If you want your boxing intention to reach your body, you must find a source of living water in boxing. This is the so-called martial artist practicing boxing to climb high.
, first make a decision in mind. Finally, Mr. Zhu asked Cen Yuanji to think carefully about what he wanted to practice boxing. If he figured it out, practicing boxing would no longer be a hard task.
When they arrived at the mountain, Pei Qian found that the old cook was not at home.
Fortunately, with Chen Nuanshu, we don’t have to worry about neglecting the two guests.
As long as you are a guest of Luopo Mountain, there is no difference in status.
————
Zhu Lian went to the sword worship platform.
Sword cultivator Cui Wei, young men Zhang Jiazhen and Jiang Qu all live here now.
Wei Bo stood at the foot of the mountain and slowly climbed up together with Zhu Lian, who he had summoned temporarily.
Wei Bo smiled and said: "Fortunately, the person in charge of the Longquan Sword Sect now is not Master Ruan, but Miss Xiuxiu. Otherwise, even I might not be able to cover everything up."
Zhu Lian didn't look relaxed, "Has the identity of the woman been confirmed?"
Wei Bo nodded and said: "It is the ferry woman Chen Ping'an asked us to look for, Dajiu Mountain Ferry Chunshui."
After the cross-continental ferry crashed in the territory of the Zhu Ying Dynasty, she survived by chance and took the pseudonym Shi Qiu. On a fairy hilltop, she revealed through the mirror, flowers, water and moon that Tianjun Xie Shi colluded with the Song family of Dali and framed the fault on Zhu.
Ying Dynasty.
Regarding this matter, Emperor Da Li had actually discussed it in his study room. If the imperial advisor Cui Chan hadn't felt that this was a leak, the so-called incident would have been exposed, and it wouldn't have mattered at all. In other words, Cui Chan was hoping to use this matter to seduce a big fish to bite the bait.
, otherwise even if the ferry maid was quietly taken away, with the current intertwined network of Dali spies, a female monk in the lower fifth realm would still be unable to escape death, even if she was rescued by an expert.
Zhu Lian asked: "Things are very troublesome."
Wei Bo smiled and said: "Of course, I can call you here without bothering you? This kind of thing may seem big or small, but in the end it is the most taboo."
Zhu Lian said: "It's not too much trouble, I'll just confirm one thing."
Wei Bo nodded, "As long as you know what's going on, I've got a bad reputation anyway, so I'm not afraid of this."
Zhu Lian shook his head and said: "It's not that easy. Okay, I know the road and just walk by myself. When you go back to Piyun Mountain, just pretend you don't know anything."
Wei Bo frowned.
Zhu Lian said: "If your love is to last forever, don't let it go to waste. Brother Wei, our friends are friends, and things are things. Since we are friends, there are some things that we shouldn't involve you in."
Wei Bo smiled and said: "Then I will keep an eye on the area around the sword worship platform. If there is any trouble, then we will discuss and come up with a charter."
Zhu Lian nodded.
If a friend is kind, he should be kind in return.
This is the morality of the world.
Wei Bo, who had earlier "detained" the group of people from the edge of the Beiyue boundary to the sword worship platform, disappeared.
Zhu Lian saw a group of people covered in dust.
Cui Wei, the golden elixir bottleneck of the Great Sword Qi Wall, Jianxiu Cui Wei, was confused and just guarded the group of people who appeared inexplicably on the top of the mountain.
A young master named Dugu, his maid Menglong, and a woman named Shi Qiu.
After Zhu Lian arrived, he nodded to Cui Wei, who then left with his sword.
Zhu Lian looked at the woman whose real name was Chun Shui and asked: "Miss Chun Shui, I have two questions, please tell me frankly."
The maid Meng Long looked a little unhappy.
The pale-faced young master looked calm.
Chun Shui nodded.
Zhu Lian looked kind and asked with a smile: "First, Miss Chun Shui wanted to find my young master? Second, when did you come up with such an idea? After the ferry crashed, she wanted to find the only person she could trust in a foreign land.
, or do you have to do this as a last resort now that you are desperate?"
Chun Shui's eyes were clear and he said: "I never thought of looking for Chen Pingan before. The reason why I regretted it now is because I caused Master Dugu to be hunted down. I only hope that Master Dugu can survive and Chen Pingan can hand me over to Da Li."
dynasty."
Chun Shui paused briefly and smiled sincerely, "It may be childish, but it's true."
Zhu Lian nodded and said with a smile: "I can trust Miss Chun Shui."
Then the rickety old man turned his head with a smile and said, "The Zhu Ying dynasty is an exiled nobleman from Tianhuang, right?"
Mr. Dugu nodded and said: "That's true. I don't dare to deceive my seniors. My real name is Dugu Duanshun, and now I am known as Shao Poxian. I am a man who has subjugated my country. I really don't want to die for the time being, so I came up with this strategy to blackmail Miss Shi Qiu with kindness.
I have come to seek refuge in this desolate mountain."
Zhu Lian asked: "Do you think you will be able to survive when you get to Luolu Mountain, or do you think you are in urgent need of medical treatment because of your illness?"
Mr. Dugu said: "The latter."
The three of them escaped along the way and experienced two interceptions. One was an unexpected encounter on a narrow road, and the other was a well-prepared monk from Da Li's army.
Zhu Lian smiled and said, "What kind of kindness do you have towards Miss Chunshui? Tell me, I am just in charge of trivial matters in Luolu Mountain. I have little education and little knowledge. I really need to ask Mr. Dugu for advice."
Lonely and silent.
The reason why he risked his life to rescue "Shi Qiu" was of course impure, and it was definitely not a chivalrous act.
The maid Menglong looked miserable.
How come my young master has fallen into such a state?
Zhu Lian was silent for a moment and asked, "Where did the last fight take place?"
Dugu Duanshun said: "The surrounding area of Nanjian Kingdom is very far away from Dali Longzhou. The reason why I was intercepted and killed is that among the Dali monks, there was someone who had the imperial seal of the Zhu Ying Dynasty and could follow the clues to find me.
After the fight, I pretended to go south, and on the way I interrupted the dragon veins in the small human world, and then quietly went north, so I shouldn't be followed by Da Li."
The words of young people can be described as concise and to the point.
As for the extreme danger involved and the price paid, outsiders cannot explain it.
Zhu Lian asked: "Xian Shao Po, are you willing to live on one-third of an acre of land, or are you willing to die for your country generously?"
Dugu Duanshun smiled and said: "Old senior, this question is unnecessary."
Zhu Lian nodded, looked at the female monk from Luzhou, Beiju, who had a miserable life experience, and said with a smile: "Miss Chunshui, do you know that doing this will cause big problems for my young master?"
Chun Shui was about to speak.
Zhu Lian already smiled and said: "What do you think? I have said it before. I have a good memory and I will know it after listening to it, so I am just telling the truth now."
Chun Shui nodded, biting her lips tightly, blood leaking out.
She hid one hand in her sleeve, clenching something tightly, her arms trembling slightly.
In addition to repaying the life-saving grace with the lonely young master, she actually has selfish motives.
She hopes to deliver something to Luopo Mountain. After that, it doesn't matter even if Luopo Mountain takes credit from her and the Dali Song family.
Zhu Lian laughed and looked around.
There are many wild persimmon trees at the Sword Worship Platform. When winter comes, one by one hangs on the high branches, making them look lovely red.
In the hometown of Ouhua Blessed Land, persimmon has another name, which is very unique, Lingshuanghou.
Zhu Lian finally said to the dazed young woman: "If my young master were here, he would be very happy to reunite with Miss Chunshui after a long absence."
After Zhu Lian said these words, he left the sword worship platform.
The maid Menglong asked softly: "Master, what is this?"
Gu Duan Shun and open-minded smiled and said: "It's not bad to live under someone else's roof and beg for food."
After Zhu Lian stepped down from the sword worship platform, Wei Bo appeared next.
Zhu Lian laughed angrily and said, "Are there any big tigers like you who get into trouble?"
Wei Bo smiled and said, "I have nothing to do anyway."
Zhu Lian put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "That girl 'Shi Qiu' must be saved. As for the other two, we just need to figure out one thing."
Wei Bo said: "That's who told him that he could live in this little-known Luo Mountain."
Zhu Lian looked shocked and said, "Brother Wei, thank you!"
Wei Bo responded with a polite smile.
Zhu Lian scratched his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I can find something serious to do. I can't always be a cook wearing an apron and be disliked by others every day. It's time for us to take the initiative to solve the problem.
It’s time for trouble. Otherwise, unnecessary trouble will only increase."
Zhu Lian sneered: "Pick a soft persimmon?"
Wei Bo smiled knowingly.
It seems that the Yuye River Goddess incident has not calmed down yet.
Wei Bo looked towards the other side of Luopo Mountain and said, "What a coincidence, another guest is here."
The two disappeared out of thin air together and appeared on Luolu Mountain.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi then saw the immortal man with a jade tree facing the wind.
As for the kind-hearted old gentleman on the side, he is really inferior to the handsome man with the gold ring in his ear. He is so handsome that people can't take their eyes away.
Chen Nuanshu stood up quickly and introduced Zhu Lian and Wei Bo to them, Mr. Zhu, the steward of Luopo Mountain, and Mr. Wei, the king of Beiyue Mountain.
Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were frightened to death.
Nowadays, among the great tigers of the five mountains in one continent, Wei Bo has the highest realm and the greatest reputation!
Pei Qian reminded: "Old cook, it's time to eat, and you have to show off your special skills."
Xiao Mi Li wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, no."
Zhu Lian softly shouted "Okay" and immediately went to the backyard kitchen to get busy.
It seems that the small kitchen is Zhu Lian's small world.
Wei Bo felt helpless.
Compared with Jiang Shangzhen, who can rely on his face to make a living, he has to be a cook.
————
Over at the New Year's Eve shop in Qilong Lane, there are also old friends reunited.
Dong Shuijing, Lin Shouyi.
There is also the little girl who was worried that the nickname "Little Stone" would spread. After moving to Dali Capital with her family, she is now married.
Shi Jiachun.
Li Baoping was once the best friend.
The New Year's Eve Shop in Qilong Lane and the Caotou Shop next door were once Shi Jiachun's ancestral businesses.
Shi Chunjia and Shi Lingshan, who was born in Taoye Lane, are also related to each other, but Shi Chunjia is senior, so if they really want to meet, they have to call her aunt.
Things are unpredictable. The classmates and friends at that time were separated in different towns and scattered in all directions. More than ten years later, they have completely different identities.
Shi Jiachun is now happy to have a husband and a son. His husband is a son of a noble family, his surname is Bian Wenmao. The family has no connection with the painting master whose paintings can be placed in the imperial study. Bian Wenmao's family has settled in Dali Capital for several years.
For hundreds of years, our ancestors were from a wealthy family of the Lu Dynasty. Perhaps because of the long shadow of our ancestors, and also because the trees moved the dead and the people moved alive, the families that took root in Dali were not prominent in officialdom, but most of them were very noble, and the family had many guests and staff.
, all of whom were well-known scholars in Dali literary circles in their early years.
It is even more impressive that the families of the gods on the mountain have their names enshrined in them. One is the elder of the Changchun Palace Ancestral Hall, and the other is unlucky. In his early years, he and several enlightened friends who had lived in the mountains for a long time passed by the sky above the Lizhu Cave Tianjia Realm in the wind.
For some unknown reason, he had a conflict with Saint Ruan Qiong and the outcome was not good. However, he managed to save his life. He was luckier than another fellow Taoist who died directly.
This meeting happened when Dong Shuijing went to Dali Capital to do business and met Shi Jiachun. Shi Jiachun wanted to make an appointment to get together with his classmates and friends in his hometown of Huaihuang Town.
But this time Li Baoping traveled south and missed it.
So Shi Jiachun is complaining about Aquarius now.
The group of people were sitting in the backyard of the shop reminiscing about old times. The shopkeeper Shi Rou moved the tables and stools, brought tea and cakes, and left quickly.
Dong Shuijing listened to Shi Jiachun's ramble and said with a smile: "Baoping doesn't even sell your face. It really shouldn't be the case."
Lin Shou nodded, "Let Li Huai tell her to go later."
Shi Jiachun rolled his eyes and said: "Li Huai? Pull him down. You have the courage the size of a needle's eye. How dare you kick him in front of my treasure bottle?"
Suddenly realizing that his husband was still sitting next to him, Shi Jiachun quickly sat up and calmed down his expression.
Bian Wenmao was a suave scholar who was given an excellent name by his elders. Now he is compiling history books in the Hanlin Academy. He is one of the most outstanding local officials in Dali. He is not too top-notch, but at a young age, he is able to study in Dali.
Li Jingcheng's literary world has established a firm foothold, and he is still serving as an official in the Hanlin Academy, known as the "place of prime ministers". Once he is released, his official position will not be small in the future.
That is to say, when they came to Huaihuang County, which was a battleground between the two surnames Cao and Yuan, Bian Wenmao was always a first-class official guest in other places.
Bian Wenmao's impression of these two young men was that one was average and the other was just okay.
Very common, Dong Shuijing was a merchant.
The one who was just okay was Lin Shouyi, who was studying at Sui Cliff Academy.
As for the family background of the two, Shi Jiachun mentioned it in general, but it was all unintentional words. Dong Shuijing's family background is not very good, but he established a career early, and as for starting a family, there is some uncertainty.
Lin Shouyi's father served under three Long Kiln Supervisors successively. It is said that he is also serving in Dali Capital now, but he has little contact with the Shi family. Bian Wenmao didn't think it was worthwhile to make friends with the Lin family, who was a non-local. On the contrary, Lin Shouyi
Shouyi, if he can study at Shanya Academy, and join the officialdom of Dali in the future, he should be able to do well.
Li Huai walked into the backyard angrily, "Okay, Yang Jiao Ya'er Xiao Shitou, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and you're going to say bad things about me when we meet?"
Shi Jiachun turned his head and was stunned for a long time. He looked like Li Huai, how could he suddenly grow into a tall young man?
Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing, the former has not changed much, he has always had the same appearance and moral character, Dong Shuijing is also okay, but Li Huai has nothing to do with the impression he had when he was a child.
For example, when Li Baoping threw his underwear into a tree, Li Huai rolled on the ground and cried, just to attract Mr. Qi.
Shi Jiachun stood up and joked: "Li Huai? You haven't eaten less in these years."
Bian Wenmao stood up slowly, smiling and saying nothing.
Li Huai is a classmate whom my wife talks a lot about. He talks freely and tells a lot of embarrassing things, so he is also the one who is least interested in Bian Wenmao. At first glance, he looks like a lump of elm who is not good at reading. He relies on the virtues accumulated by his ancestors to get there.
In the cliff academy, this kind of person cannot stand even if he is given a few steps. Sooner or later he will retreat to the bottom of the steps. At least Dong Shuijing has a skill, and there are vague rumors that this person has attached himself to Cao Cao at the same time.
Supervisor and Governor Yuan, if this is the case, the business should not be too small.
Li Huai first said hello to Wen Mao over there. He obviously didn't like him very much and was polite and distant, but he couldn't let his good friend Shi Jiachun not come to the stage. He had to have a smile on his face.
Then he sat down opposite Shi Jiachun. Li Huai grabbed a piece of pastry and said vaguely: "Before Baoping left, she said that she would go to the capital to find you before returning to the academy."
Shi Jiachun smiled and said, "I still have some conscience."
Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing sat opposite each other. In fact, the two had always had a good relationship, but Shi Jiachun thought it was funny. The reason couldn't be simpler. They both liked Li Huai's sister.
Shi Jiachun didn't think that Lin Shouyi had a better background and was a scholar, so Li Liu would definitely like Lin Shouyi.
Shi Jiachun always felt that Li Liu, who often went to school to pick up his younger brother from school, felt strange, but he couldn't say what was strange. Logically speaking, Li Liu was older and already a girl, and he looked weak and weak to everyone.
Zhigui, the maid next to Song Jixin in Mubo Alley, had completely different personalities, and they were both beauties. However, Shi Jiachun felt that if they really got along, Zhigui, the maid who never smiled when he saw anyone, might not be as good as Li Liu.
Difficult to deal with.
Bian Wenmao also had a social gathering with friends in Zhoucheng, but it was rare for his wife to leave the capital and return home, and since they were all her childhood friends, the young man who was a beauty scout had to keep his temper and not show any emotion.
Shi Jiachun was considerate and stayed at the New Year's Eve shop for about half an hour before he got up and left for Zhoucheng. There was a carriage from his husband's friend waiting at Qilong Lane.
Li Huai and the others walked to the door of the shop together. It happened that Yu Lu and Xie also came down the mountain from Linlu Academy and came to Qilong Lane, planning to go to Luo Po Mountain together.
Li Huai went there alone before and returned to Piyunshan Academy. He kept repeating the idea of sorry, hesitance to lose.
Bian Wenmao didn't take it too seriously. He politely said goodbye to everyone, helped his wife get on the carriage, and finally said goodbye.
After watching the carriage go away, everyone continued to chat in the backyard of the shop. Li Huai put his hands on the back of his head and said, "This Bian Wenmao has a big pride in his heart."
Lin Shouyi said calmly: "Shi Jiachun is looking for a husband. Bian Wenmao just likes her sincerely. Shi Jiachun is not looking for a friend with whom we can talk."
Dong Shuijing nodded.
Li Huai curled his lips, "I just think Shi Jiachun can find a better one."
Lin Shouyi shook his head, "It makes no sense."
Li Huai suddenly became worried, "Is it okay if Baoping travels alone? She is not a cultivator either."
Lin Shou thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out the mystery.
Yu Lu and Xie also have similar mentality.
The only one who was kept in the dark was probably Li Huai, who was unlucky when he went out and looked at whether there was dog poop on the ground.
Before going to Luopo Mountain, Lin Shouyi asked Li Huai and the others to wait, and went to the ancestral house to clean the courtyard and ancestral hall. The young scholar was alone, silently reciting the family motto in his heart.
Finally, he burned three sticks of incense and murmured: "Thank you, sage."
Li Huai was impatient and said that he would go to Zhenzhu Mountain first and wait.
When they arrived at the hilltop not far from their ancestral home, Pei Qian and Zhou Mili had already been waiting there.
Pei Qian said: "The defeated general!"
Li Huai quickly said: "It's an honor to be defeated, but I don't dare to be brave!"
Pei Qian nodded and said.
Pei Qian asked: "Where are the two men we share the helm with?"
Li Huai said guiltily: "Those two articles were written incorrectly, and I got scolded so much by my master that he is chewing on the pen at the moment."
Pei Qian shook his head, and then pointed to Xiao Mili beside him: "Zhou Mili, from now on will be the deputy helmsman of our branch."
Zhou Mili was stunned on the spot, so happy that he fell from the sky! Now he has many official titles!
Li Huai was overjoyed.
Originally there were only three people at the helm, but now they are finally becoming more powerful.
After that, everyone headed to Luolu Mountain.
When they arrived at the mountain, Yu Lu stopped at the mountain gate, saying that he would climb the mountain later and chat with Yuan Lai, the young man who was looking at the door and reading a book.
Xie Xie also wandered around alone, and met Cen Yuanji who was walking on a pile and practicing boxing at the mountain temple on the top of the mountain, and a girl named Yuanbao who was standing on a pile beside him.
Thank you for looking a little dazed.
It was like seeing myself practicing Buddhism on the mountain without any worries in my early years.
After that, after the old cook and Wei Bo nodded, Pei Qian took the millet grains to the Lotus Root Blessed Land. Together they walked along the road they had traveled before, wading through mountains and rivers, to the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom.
Passing Zhuangyuan Lane, I went to the temple to burn incense, and then sat in the corridor in a daze.
Zhou Mili is always with Pei Qian anyway. When Pei Qian is happy, Xiao Mili will talk more. When Pei Qian is not happy, he will remain silent.
In the end, Pei Qian chose a private house, which she bought secretly with money. In fact, the old cook also knew about it and turned a blind eye and ignored her.
That place was the secluded mansion where the great demon Ding Ying settled down together with Ya'er and Zhou Shi, the hairpin bearer of Spring Chao Palace.
Pei Qian sat cross-legged over there, rolled up his sleeves like his master, and began to close his eyes to rest his mind and warm up his fist.
The reason why I came here is to break the martial arts barrier.
Lotus Root Blessed Land's military fortune, she has to rely on her own ability to get back as much as she can.
And when the time comes, Wei Bo will open the door to the Blessed Land, and Pei Qian will also follow the example of his master and break up all the martial fortune he won from Haoran Tianxia, and feed back the Lotus Root Blessed Land.
Grandpa Cui is gone. Is there any way to go home?
Then let her take the martial arts that Grandpa Cui left here back to Luopo Mountain.

In the central area of Aquarius Island, construction has begun to build an unprecedented large channel into the sea, involving more than a dozen rivers and dozens of mountains with mountain god temples and earth temples.
Even the old people who had lost their country couldn't help but lament such a grand gesture. The great Li barbarian really dared to think what others dare not think, and what a human being could not do.
The Dali imperial court was so busy with people and money, and the young emperor was so greedy for success and seeking greatness. Is he really not afraid that he will prosper and die suddenly? When the time comes, it won't be the common people everywhere who will suffer?
Just hearing that Guanhu Academy, the well-known Xinzhong Mountain, and the Yunlin Jiang family with a long history will all participate in it makes people have mixed feelings.
Is it possible that the entire Aquarius Island will really have the surname Song in the future? Will it become a place where every family has one surname?
The Dali imperial court assigned three people from the local area to be responsible for the excavation of Dadu. They were Guan Yiran, the great-great-grandson of the Guan family in Shangzhu state, Liu Xunmei, the general of Chierjie Street in the capital, and Liu Qingfeng, a civil servant in Qingluan state.
Except for the last one, who has never heard of it, the official circles of Dali Capital are no strangers to the two young juniors Guan Yiran and Liu Xunmei. Firstly, both of them come from high families, and secondly, they are both outstanding figures among the younger generation.
, especially Guan Yiran, who joined the army early and grew up among the dead as a monk accompanying the army. Liu Xunmei is not bad either. He worked hard all the way down south to gain an official status.
The Guan family has been in charge of the official department of Dali for many years, and is known as the Shangshu Master who is as stable as a mountain, the flowing minister, and the doctor.
Generally speaking, when a minister, especially a minister from the left, is transferred to another place and serves as a feudal official in a certain place, even if his rank is the same, he is still considered to be demoted.
Therefore, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, there are many jokes circulating in the Dali official circles. It is said that there were two feudal officials who left Beijing to serve as officials.
However, Liu Qingfeng was very unfamiliar to Da Li Chaotang. In fact, even the staff under Mr. Guan's command were not familiar with Liu Qingfeng, even after looking through the files.
When the vassal Qingluan State reopened water transportation, the official evaluation of it was average, with only a good grade. It was considered that there was no merit, but a small amount of hard work, so he was able to take charge of the government, and was transferred by the court to a border county as the county guard. I never thought that
Before my butt is hot, I immediately need to go north to deal with a bunch of unattainable landscape gods and mountain gods. I was promoted from the fourth grade to the third grade. The Dali court awarded a temporary Dadu Supervisor.
Neither Yi Ran nor Liu Xun's rank had changed, so they seemed to have become the second-in-command of a civil servant in a small vassal country.
However, Liu Qingfeng was not the first to be suddenly promoted from a vassal official to a high-ranking member of the Dali officialdom. The old vassal of the Sui Dynasty belonged to the Huangting Kingdom, and Wei Li, the prefect of a county, jumped several levels and was promoted to the current Dali Longzhou.
Among the governors and gods of mountains and rivers, it is a strange rumor in official circles that a certain land lord from Hongzhu Town, the confluence of three rivers, was promoted to the city god of a state.
It is said that Wei Liang, the Grand Governor of Qingluan Kingdom, is also showing signs of promotion, and some rumors have been leaked from the Li Department.
Qingluan Kingdom, located in the southeast of Aquarius Continent, has inexplicably transformed from a remote place into a geomantic treasure land with prosperous officialdom.
Officials distinguish between muddy and muddy flows. Nowadays, the biggest distinction between pure and muddy flows in Aquarius Continent actually depends on whether one is born in the mainland of Dali.
It's just that these changes in officialdom are nothing compared to the fact that Wei Bo, the land of Qidun Mountain, the remnant god of Shenshui Kingdom, was first promoted to the mountain god of Piyun Mountain, and then followed the trend to become the mountain king of Beiyue, a continent. It is not worth making a fuss about.
The Great Li cavalry have been fighting south for many years, and there are actually more young faces who have become military generals. In addition to the descendants of generals, there are also many who come from poor and humble backgrounds.
It's just that the Dali frontier army died quickly and promoted quickly. The people of Dali have long been accustomed to it after more than a hundred years of influence. The civil service and landscape genealogy systems have always been rigorously operated, so it is relatively eye-catching when someone suddenly shows up.
Today is the first time the three officials in charge of Dadu excavation have gathered together. There is no banquet, just on the bank of a big river.
Liu Qingfeng, retinue Wang Yifu.
Guan Yiran was confused. This descendant of Shangzhu Kingdom was also confused. According to his grandfather, he was supposed to be in charge of a north-south mountain ferry route. Even his friends arranged it, but he came here on his own.
Here, of course, there was a lot of scolding.
Liu Xunmei, accompanied by two guards, Cao Jun and Wei Xian.
Wei Xian followed Cao Jun, the embryo of the Sword Immortal, whose ancestral home was located in Muping Lane, and Liu Xunmei, who did not look like a descendant of an honorable noble at all, and managed to get along quite well.
As a monk accompanying the army, Wei Xian was awarded a military honors officer by virtue of his solid military exploits. Now he has real power, and he and Cao Jun are Liu Xunmei's right-hand man.
Rumor has it that Wei Xian was impressed by Cao Ping, the second hunting envoy of Da Li.
As for Cao Jun, he was extremely famous among the Da Li army.
The three of them each introduced themselves.
In fact, Guan Yiran and Liu Xunmei are close friends.
So the only thing we need to know is Liu Qingfeng, who suddenly appeared.
Then a young man in white walked up not far away, riding on the back of a child, holding a branch in his hand and shouting to drive.
Approaching the crowd, the young man laughed and said, "I have a little donkey who never complains of hunger!"

In Qingfeng City, a woman in red led her horse out of the city, into a mountain valley thirty miles away in the suburbs at night.
In the middle of winter, the peach blossoms are blooming along the way.
Li Baoping led his horse and walked slowly, looking around at the pleasant scenery.
There are green mountains on all sides, and white clouds are constantly rising from the mountains.
Not far ahead is the destination of this trip to Qingfeng City, a thatched hut with green water and a firewood gate.
Li Baoping glanced at the sky, where a large round jade plate hung high. It must be the largest mooncake.
When he thought of this, Li Baoping suddenly laughed.
It seems that I have become the little girl again who walked through the green mountains and green waters with her junior uncle, and her mind is filled with these thoughts.
But at that moment, there was a small bamboo box dangling behind him and he was wearing small straw sandals.
The little girl in the red cotton-padded jacket likes to hang around her little uncle. The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it seems that she is not afraid of him no matter how far he is.
Li Baoping lowered his head and glanced at the snow-white narrow knife at his waist and the sword gourd.
Li Baoping stood there.
A human face with peach blossoms stands in the bright moon.
