The old scholar took Liu Shiliu to visit this Huaihuang County town. Liu Shiliu had never visited Lizhu Cave, so he couldn't talk about the sense of right and wrong between things and people.
The big man is just sad.
This is the place where Xiao Qi feels at ease despite being in a foreign land.
It is easy for a true scholar to look around at a loss, and the most difficult thing is to find "my hometown" where he can put his mind at ease in the boundless road of study.
Liu Shiliu regretted his "returning to the mountain" trip. He should have waited. Even if he still couldn't change the ending of Lizhu Cave, he could still let Xiao Qi know that when he traveled alone, there was still someone behind him.
Watched off by fellow disciples.
How could he not be so alone, as if he were the enemy of the whole world? How could he not be lonely, and even make people pitiful, laugh at, and not understand him?
The old scholar said softly: "Silly man, don't be too sad. As scholars, when we read books to study, we should understand them with heart. We should be neighbors and friends of the sages of the past generations. After putting down the books of the sages, we should do our best, no matter who else."
The old scholar murmured and repeated "Who else would it be for me?"
Liu Shiliu nodded, but he was still in a low mood. Restraining his true nature has indeed always been his specialty.
As time goes by, Haiwu adds more money. If we look at his true age, not to mention several senior brothers, even his husband and close friend Bai Ye are not as "older" as him. Far less.
It's just that there is a sequence of hearing.
That's why the short, thin old scholar next to Liu Shiliu was called the "old" scholar.
Huaihuang County is now the top county of the Great Li Dynasty.
For the people in the small town, the most profitable job was to make porcelain and rely on the mountains and rivers. Nowadays, almost all the local people have left the small town and Long Kiln, sold their ancestral homes, and moved to the city to enjoy their happiness.
In the past, the largest and only official in the town was the supervisor. Now, officials and subordinates of all sizes can be seen everywhere. Nowadays, peach blossoms bloom every year. There are no old porcelain mountains and immortal tombs, but there are
The incense of Man Mo Temple, on the top of the mountains and on the banks of the rivers, there are landscape temples with an endless stream of pilgrims.
In the old town, there was no county government, but there were old locust trees covering acres of land. Under the trees at dusk, there would be old people talking about the old almanac, and children who were tired of listening to the stories and minding their own business, in the hot summer.
At one hour, when the children were tired of playing, they ran to the iron-locked well and waited eagerly for the elders in the family to lift the basket from the well and cut the naturally frozen fruits one by one. Even if the weather was hot and the clothes were hot, the water was cold.
The melon is cool and the knife is cold, it seems that even the eyes are cold.
The old scholar came to the ruins of the iron lock well. The well without the iron rope was still there, but the mystery inside was gone. Now the Yamen has relaxed the restrictions, but there are many fewer county gates coming here to draw water, because now
The small county town is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there are many monks who came here to absorb the dragon energy, spiritual energy, fairy energy, and the mountain water energy. Therefore, the current town atmosphere does not have much market atmosphere, but it is not as smokey as the city in the north.
The cocks crow and the dogs bark.
The old scholar suddenly laughed and said: "Your junior brother worked as a kiln worker's apprentice in his early years, and his craftsmanship was very good. However, he later traveled far away as a young man. Because he thought he had not really become a master, he never took action easily. So if you meet my junior brother in the future,
You can ask him to help you burn some literati's offerings, the Four Treasures of the Study, Xiao Jiuhou, etc. Just pick a few and tell your junior brother directly, don't be too outspoken, your junior brother has never been a stingy person."
Liu Shiliu hummed.
This time I reunited with my husband after a long absence. Along the way, he never left my junior brother. Liu Shiliu heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart. He didn't feel the slightest bit unhappy, but he was only happy, because his mood had not been so relaxed for a long time.
Of course, the old scholar had something to say, but after waiting for a long time, the stupid guy didn't realize what he was saying, so he kicked Liu Shiliu in the calf.
The teacher feels a lot of guilt towards the junior disciple, and is too shameless to ask for things in person, so the other students don't know how to share the worry for the teacher? After all, the stupid big man is not as smart as the junior disciple, there is a huge difference.
Liu Shiliu immediately understood and said: "The student also wants to ask for a few things for my husband."
The old scholar found it difficult to act, so he rubbed his hands and said: "What kind of style is it? What kind of style is it?"
Liu Shiliu said: "Sir, I didn't say anything. My junior brother is so smart, so he will naturally understand it."
The old scholar immediately changed his face, stroked his beard and smiled, "Of course, your junior brother is the most able to understand by analogy, and is the most talented in the words 'ten thousand' and 'one'. Even if the teacher doesn't teach him well, the disciple can learn it on his own."
Excellent, very good. Now it's good. Everyone says that my ability to recruit disciples is unparalleled in the world. In fact, sir, I'm embarrassed."
In fact, regarding the recruitment of Chen Ping'an as a closed disciple, Master Suishan did not say anything about the old scholar. In fact, Chen Chun'an, Bai Ze, and later Bai Ye, the virtuous scholar, did not even agree with him at all.
Therefore, God knows who the "everyone" the old scholar refers to is.
Liu Shiliu nodded and said: "Just listening to some of the rumors Mr. Bai Ye heard, I am sure that my junior brother is a very smart person."
The old scholar laughed haha.
Feeling refreshed and refreshed for a long time.
The silly big man praised the three of them, saying that the husband is discerning, the junior brother is smart, and the senior brother is sure of himself.
It's okay, it's very good.
In terms of worldly knowledge, among the four direct disciples at that time, Cui Chan was of course the first. In fact, the stupid guy could be ranked second. He just didn't like to talk and pretended to be boring. When he was willing to speak, he was often stubborn, such as
He once chased A Liang to fight. There were four senior brothers in one sect. There was no talk of closeness, only how much they got along with each other. Although Xiao Qi and Zuo Zuo had constant disputes, they were actually closer to each other. Cui Chan and Liu Shiliu were
The relationship is not bad, one thinks too much and the other talks too little, so they get along best.
Liu Shiliu was walking in the town. In addition to walking with his husband, Liu Shiliu was also paying attention to many details, whether the aura of the door god was posted on each house, the size of the incense in the Wen Mo Temple, whether the flow of gas in the mountains, rivers, counties, prefectures, and prefectures was stable and orderly...
All of these are the more and more perfect achievements and knowledge of senior brother Cui Chan, an invisible "manifestation of the great road" in the Great Li Dynasty.
It should be noted that "the human heart is only dangerous, but the Taoist heart is weak" are the first eight characters of the sixteen-character "Xin Chuan" in the Confucian context.
In Liu Shiliu's eyes, Cui Chan's more than a hundred years of meticulous cultivation in Dali and Aquarius Island can be said to be both heavy and light.
In his early years, Cui Chan, who was not a Grand Master of Li Dynasty but only a member of the Wen Sage lineage, had too many words to say about the world. However, Cui Chan became more and more knowledgeable and had a high-spirited temperament.
He was so arrogant that the only person in his life who was willing to listen was Liu Shiliu. Only this taciturn junior brother was worthy of what Cui Chan was willing to say.
Liu Shiliu said: "The golden body of the ancient remnant was shattered earlier. The student's original intention was to give it to Beiyue Territory as a repayment to Wei Shanjun of Piyun Mountain. He never thought that there was a weird existence over there in Qilong Lane, and he could actually use magical powers to shrink it.
All the fragments of the golden body, judging from what Wei Shanjun meant, he didn't seem surprised by this, and he didn't seem to have any grudges about it."
The old scholar nodded and said: "The long-lived Taoist friend of Qilong Lane has an extraordinary background. She is the incarnation of the ancestral money of ancient gold and copper coins. She is now a temporary anonymous enshrinement in Luoluo Mountain. She came to collect the fragments of the golden body, and the avenue
The match is easy to come by. Except for Wei Shanjun, the Taoist cultivators in Beiyue are all at a loss. Wei Shanjun is also used to taking the blame for Luopo Mountain. He has many debts. So if you meet Wei Shanjun in the future, you are welcome.
If you are more polite, look at how grand this person is. He holds one night party after another without batting an eye."
Liu Shiliu said: "Then I will go to Senior Brother Zuo later and smash a few remaining golden bodies that covet the mountains and rivers of Beiyue. I will also make an agreement with fellow Taoist Changsheng in advance and remember to let her give 50% to Piyun Mountain."
The old scholar nodded happily and said with a smile: "Helping others and helping yourself is indeed a good habit."
The left and right ones have one muscle, so there won't be any major problems for the time being.
Even if there is any accident, being a teacher is not just a job.
Furthermore, Liu Shiliu was on the left and right sides of his senior brother, and his words were useless.
This guy, Zuo Zuo, has always liked to show off as a senior since he was a child. Back then, he was very coquettish and awkward at the Jianqi Great Wall Liquor Shop.
In the past, every time the old scholar wanted to drink more or open a small kitchen to entertain the Five Zang Temple, he would ask the stupid guy to go to the left and right sides of the money bag and discuss it. If you have money today, spend it first.
, If you don’t have the money tomorrow, you can borrow it tomorrow, but it never works. Xiao Qi is more kind. He goes out to set up stalls when he has free time, and helps people write Spring Festival couplets. Every time he earns some private money, he doesn’t do it.
Senior Brother Zuo took over, and then he taught a few students, secretly leaving Zuo and Zuo behind each other, first standing on the wall outside the house, burping and dispersing the alcohol, and then entering the door. He had no control over Zuo and Zuo.
Liu Shiliu asked: "On the way here, Bai Ye mentioned to me that the former hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall, Xiao Xun, said that she should be in harmony with the wild world."
The old scholar said: "Xiao Xun is a sword cultivator, and he is in harmony with the world of Tao. Of course, he should not be underestimated. He just pushed the left and right. He does not need to be in harmony with the world of Tao to reach the fourteenth realm..."
Having said this, the old scholar was worried and shook his head and said: "It's best not to do this. Who in the Fourteenth Realm can be a free person? What's more, your senior brother Zuo is still the most taboo swordsman. What a big trouble, you are not
I don’t know, if you are stubborn, let alone you junior brothers, even my husband’s words are not very effective, and I was not willing to learn swordsmanship.”
Liu Shiliu said: "Senior Brother Zuo was very late in practicing swordsmanship, but he was able to make the 'Sword Immortal Embryo' become a joke on the mountain. Even Bai Ye also felt that Zuo Dao was not small and his swordsmanship was high."
The old scholar sighed with emotion: "The way of profit and loss must be observed."
While walking along the way, many passers-by on the street paid attention to the burly Liu Shiliu, but fortunately, Longzhou was now accustomed to the visits of gods and goddesses on the mountain, so they did not find the big man intimidating.
Because of the agreement between closed disciple Chen Ping'an and Zhigui of Nipingxiang, the Dali Dynasty repaid the old well by leaving only an "illusion" of the existence of the ancient well similar to Xiaodongtian, and moved the "truth" to the water behind Luoluoshan Bamboo Tower.
Beside the pond, there is a cave in the well. Although the Dali Song family knows the goods and knows the many secret uses of the well, they have always been powerless and unable to open up a small cave alone. After all, Aquarius Island has too few sword immortals, otherwise the small cave in the well will not exist.
The site is not big, but it is a pretty good place for cultivation. It is especially suitable for the cultivation of dragons and water monsters. Of course, it is also possible that Cui Dongshan deliberately hid his personal interests and regarded the well as his own possession.
The old scholar sat by the well for a while, thinking about how to open up the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and connect the Lotus Root Blessed Land and the Small Cave Heaven. After thinking about it, he found someone to help him. Fortunately, after all, the old scholar had accumulated some incense in the world.
It was a pity that money was too difficult to borrow, so I could only sigh with emotion: "A penny is too much for a heroic man, but a poor scholar is worried to death." Liu Shiliu said that I could borrow money from Bai Ye. But the old scholar shook his head and said
Friends never repay money they borrowed, which hurts their feelings. Then the old man looked up at the silly big man. Liu Shiliu thought about it and said that it didn't count as borrowing money from Bai Ye.
It is said that when Bai Ye sent Jun Qian back to the mountain for the first time, he drunkenly wrote the word "spectacular" and deliberately added a little more of the word "zhuang".
It means that my friend Junqian is more than a little majestic and has watched the mountains and rivers of the world for thousands of years.
Thinking back to those days, the man who was known as the most proud scholar in the world was not disappointed at all for being able to write this book and have such enthusiasm.
After sending his friends back to the mountain, when he was going down the mountain alone, Bai Ye wielded his sword in the human world and split the Yellow River Cave and Heaven with one sword. The scholar used his own power to resist the way of heaven, so that the Divine Continent of Middle Earth no longer has to worry about severe drought.
It even caused the water transportation in the world to skyrocket by 10% just by this move.
How high-spirited.
Therefore, Wei Bo, who was born in the old gods of Shenshui Kingdom, naturally also highly praised Bai Bai.
And the only one who could be as unceremonious as Bai Ye was "Brother Jun Qian" who once visited immortals with Bai Ye.
The old scholar then smiled broadly, stood up, patted the silly big man's arm hard, and praised him, "Sixteen, you've made a lot of progress."
Is there any senior brother in the world who doesn't take care of his junior brother? Anyway, there is absolutely no one in his own lineage of literary saints.
It's not that the old scholar has no way to get some money by himself. Hedao is so vast in the world. No matter how deeply hidden the treasures are, they can't escape his eyes. It's just something he does and something he doesn't do. He still has to talk about the pros and cons.
There are rules in wealth, especially in the order of the road. What you get today is unreasonable, and tomorrow you will inevitably lose it. It is uneconomical. If you are a teacher, you will not cause trouble to the youngest and proud disciples who are growing up.
Taking Liu Shiliu to the Grand Scholar's Square, commonly known as Crab House, the old scholar stopped and said: "This is the ascension platform that Qingtong Tianjun is responsible for guarding, and it was refined into what it looks like."
The old scholar put his hands behind his back and pointed to the sky with one hand, "There was once a heavenly general who was responsible for guiding the earthly immortals to ascend. Of course, the so-called earthly immortals at that time knew that the world was 'true' and was more valuable than '
In terms of heavenly immortals, those who live forever and travel on land are called land immortals. As for today's Nascent Soul and Golden Pill, they are also known as earthly immortals, but they are actually incomparable. The "seeking truth" in the immortal realm,
In fact, in general, it is to seek this truth, to understand the way of heaven, to be liberated without fatigue, and to finally ascend. In that earth-shaking and generous fight, this heavenly general, wearing the 'Great Frost' treasure armor, was the only one who chose to fight to the death.
, to a certain old senior...wrong, to a senior who is not old at all, then that so-and-so was nailed to the door with a sword."
It is not without reason that the last true dragon in the world has gone through so many hardships to escape here. As long as Qingtong Tianjun is willing to reopen the ascension platform, then it has a glimmer of hope. The sky is gone. Of course, there is no way to ascend, but
It is not difficult to escape to a secret realm of broken mountains and rivers. By then, the world will be truly far away. However, Qingtong Tianjun, as one of the biggest criminals in the world, is in a difficult situation, which is no different from the mud Bodhisattva crossing the river. Even if
It is not difficult to protect yourself, but it seems that you need to hold the incense above your head with both hands every day to prevent the incense from being cut off. Naturally, you don't want to break the big rules with those three people in the fifteenth realm for the sake of a little real dragon.
In a Lizhu Cave, Old Man Yang used a series of interlocking truths to cover up the shallow illusion visible to the world. In fact, it was to hide the biggest truth. This was the real blindness.
The old scholar stopped for a long time at the archway, looking up at one of the plaques.
Liu Shiliu asked: "This time when Barbarian World enters Haoran World, that guy with the pseudonym Zhou Mi has many tricks. Sir, do you know who this person is?"
Because of his status, Liu Shiliu has never been very interested in world affairs.
The old scholar's expression became solemn and he said slowly: "My surname is Jia. I won't say my full name to avoid provoking his prying eyes. He was once a disciple of our Confucian school, so I'll just call him Jia Sheng."
Liu Shiliu immediately understood, "It turned out to be him."
When I think about it again, I just feel that it is unexpected and reasonable.
In history, many scholars who "after Jia Sheng's death" expressed their grievances on behalf of this person. Some even bluntly said that "the only great scholar of the generation was Jia Sheng." The person who said this was not an ordinary person.
The so-called great Confucianism refers to Jia Sheng's great talent, courage, and generosity. Obviously, within the Confucian context, there is not the slightest objection to today's rules. In the Western Buddhist countries, and in the Qingming world, there is no contention among a hundred schools of thought.
Liu Shiliu asked: "In your opinion, sir, what do Jia Sheng's Twelve Taiping Policies look like?"
"A strong dose of medicine can really bring peace."
The old scholar smiled and said: "Unfortunately, there is a problem. Even if Jia Sheng patronizes the treatment, even if it saves people, the medicine is too strong. For example, in the markets around us, no matter how good the medicine is, after several years or ten years, it will probably be...
How can we prevent people from worrying? These are just the surface. There is a real crux, which is that Jia Sheng’s knowledge and Confucianism are fundamentally different.”
Liu Liuliu asked softly: "Is that why, sir, you categorically denied Senior Brother's meritorious service and knowledge back then?"
The old scholar hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "His work knowledge is better than that of Jia Sheng, because instead of tearing down the house and rebuilding it and nailing the windows, there is only one door left. Your senior brother's work knowledge is far inferior to that of Jia Sheng.
Jia Sheng is so extreme."
The old scholar pointed to the plaques on the archways that had lost their luster and asked: "The plaques are hung at high places, while the couplets are often posted at wide places. Why?"
Liu Shiliu followed the teacher's finger pointing and replied: "Walking on the wide road is the best way to stay steady and go to high places."
The old scholar nodded to express his approval, then took Liu Shiliu around the archway building, and then told the disciple some insider information from his heart.
There are four plaques, "Do your duty without giving in", "Hope to speak naturally", "Don't ask outsiders" and "Bullfighting in anger".
After going around in a circle, they came back to the plaque that said "Do your duty".
The old scholar focused on Taoism.
The Taoist plaque on this place says "I wish to express nature", and the person who praises it is the first disciple of Taoism, Bai Yujing Grand Master.
Li Xisheng, a scholar, belongs to the lineage of Confucianism. The one from Shengao Sect is from the Taoist sect. There is another one, even an old scholar, who still doesn't know for the time being. Anyway, he is a disciple of Buddhism.
The dispute between the three religions belongs to me alone.
I talk to myself about how people live in the world but have no quarrels with the world. It is like a vain ship that bumps into the boat. Although the person is worried, he will not be angry.
This is the greatness of the Taoist master's Taoism. It must be recognized.
Compared to the mixed reviews of the other two masters of Bai Yujing, this Taoist disciple has excellent reputations in several worlds besides Qingming World.
What's more, Dao Lao Er and Lu Chen both accepted disciples on behalf of their masters. Only Tao Zu's closed disciples were replaced by Lu Chen as their masters and disciples.
Liu Shiliu frowned slightly.
The old scholar patted his arm and said, "Don't think too much. Although Li Xisheng, one of the three people in Lizhu Cave, is a late visitor, in Haoran World, Xiao Qi is a latecomer, not to mention the Taoist boss himself.
, there is no intention to target Xiao Qi, it is more the method of the other two branches of Bai Yujing. Li Xisheng could not help himself back then. If Lu Chen had not come here to plan, the original dispute between Xiao Qi and Li Xisheng would have been like a flood.
The mainstays stir up each other, the waves rise thousands of meters high, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent. No matter the victory or defeat, there will never be the slightest bit of filth. Maybe..."
Even if the old scholar spoke from his heart, when he said this, he still did not reveal his true feelings to his disciples.
The old scholar originally wanted to say: "People of the same Taoism, establish religions and call themselves ancestors, one is upright and the other is right, and the Taoism benefits each other."
Whether it is Li Xisheng, Taoist boss, or Xiao Qi, once both parties really start discussing Taoism, they will definitely have this ambition.
I just couldn't get to that point.
The matter has come to this, the overall situation has been decided, and it is useless to say more.
It's just that the old scholar doesn't want to say too much about this, it doesn't mean he really doesn't care.
Old scholars never advocate the bottomless practice of repaying evil with kindness. That is not magnanimity, but ignorance.
Liu Shiliu turned his head and had to lower his head to see the profile of his husband.
The husband raised his head and looked at those four words, feeling very sad.
It's just that my husband is too lonely, and there are not many people who can understand him and drink with him, and there are not many people who can make him talk freely.
The inscription on the plaque reads "Do your duty without giving in".
The old scholar did not look back for a long time.
Who else would I be?
I am from the literary sage lineage, Qi Jingchun from Lizhu Cave Sky, Cui Chan from Aquarius Continent, Zuo Zuo from Tongye Continent, and Chen Pingan from Sword Qi Great Wall.
Now there is another Liu Shiliu who has returned to the world.
With the breeze blowing on his face, the old scholar looked around, laughed, raised his hand and scratched his head, murmuring: "The spring breeze knows my intention, and sends my dream back to that year. There are many wrong people in the world, and there are many unfair things in the world, but don't even think about it.
Kill the beauty in my heart."
Liu Shiliu read it softly.
The past is past, and the future is yet to come. Every moment is in the past, and there is always a future. The past has been in the future, and the future will pass.
As a result, I was kicked by my husband and he laughed and scolded me, "You come and I come, you come, you come." The lineage of literary saints is lucky to have you as my younger brother, otherwise I would be laughed at as a monk's nest.
Liu Shiliu grinned, and Mr. Xue scratched his head. Fortunately, he still had more hair.
Just looking at Mr.'s thin figure again, if it weren't for Hedao Tiandi, would he weigh ninety pounds? Liu Shiliu felt very sad and wanted to cry again.
When Liu Shiliu raised his head, why didn't he come? Why was there no movement in the sky? If you feel unhappy, you can forget about your worries by punching the enemy.
The old scholar laughed angrily and said: "Silly big man, I hope you get better. Fighting and killing, you are too unscholarly."
Afterwards, the old scholar took Liu Shiliu to visit the old school. They returned to the old school, no one was there, but it was not decadent at all. Every place was clean and everything was neat and orderly.
I heard that the little girl Nuanshu would come down from the mountain on time and come to the town to clean the school here and the ancestral house in Muping Lane.
Then I went to the new private school run by the Chen family in Longwei River, where the sound of reading was audible.
The old scholar especially likes to watch the naive children shaking their heads. Some children will know it by heart, and some will recite it stumblingly, but in fact they are all very good.
When the old scholar was visiting the school, he was also looking at the teachers' methods of preaching and solving doubts, and the expressions and tones of the masters.
In fact, the real Buddha only speaks ordinary words.
When you are in an officialdom, it is inevitable to speak in official terms, but you cannot just speak in official terms. Remember that all official terms come from human speech.
When a person becomes a god on the mountain, he can't just have the fairy aura of Yunfeng Manshou, he must also have some human touch.
After reading too many books by sages, people are different and have different principles. After all, you have to hope that the world will change for the better. Otherwise, it would be unkind to just complain and say weird things, dragging others into disappointment and despair.
After the old scholar left the school, he walked in the Xinghua Lane and said to Liu Shiliu for no reason: "Back then, Xiao Qi accompanied me to travel around the mountains and rivers, and you and Cui Chan visited Baidi City."
Liu Shiliu nodded and said: "After Senior Brother Cui and the Lord of Baidi City finished Caiyun Game, he wrote a cursive "Back and Back Tie" for Zheng Juzhong, which said, 'No one has ever done it before, and no one will come after him, he is living in it.'"
The old scholar smiled and said: "Is there such a thing?"
Liu Shiliu said: "In the end, we lost the chess game. Senior Brother Cui is too embarrassed to say anything."
Correct homophony of Zheng.
Look, among the disciples of Wen Sheng, who doesn’t treat others with sincerity?
Later, the two met a handsome young drunkard on the road. It was the superintendent Cao Gengxin and the county governor Yuan Zhengding. They were both descendants of the Zhuguo surname of Dali.
Cao Duzao had finished drinking wine, and hung a full wine jug on his waist. He and the wine jug swayed together to the government office to order some wine.
Sometimes at the wine shop, when Director Cao was really drunk and couldn't walk, he would ask a young boy he knew, or a kid he knew probably well from the side of the road, to give him a handful of copper coins as travel expenses, and help him get out of the way.
He took the jug to the Yamen Supervisor and put it on the table, which was regarded as helping him order the meal.
The old scholar looked at the young man with a smile.
Cao Gengxin also noticed that the short old man wearing a Confucian shirt was looking at him, but Cao Duzao did not say hello and did not want to turn a blind eye, so he burped, then turned sideways and walked sideways on the street, smiling.
I bowed to the old gentleman who had never met him.
The old scholar nodded in greeting.
Not everyone who is an official scholar in the world can be so suave, unrestrained and unrestrained, but at the same time, there are definitely a few people who are needed.
As for the county governor Yuan Zhengding, the more the merrier.
In the eyes of the old scholar, there is no superiority between the two sides. They are both extremely outstanding young people.
I walked around many small town streets, walked through the slightly lonely Mud Bottle Lane, and then walked back to Qilong Lane. A long-lived Taoist priest in a snow-white robe was waiting on the steps for a long time, facing the old man.
The scholar saluted, but she said nothing.
The old scholar smiled from ear to ear, and Taoist Taoist Changshou took them to the New Year's Eve shop. The old scholar rubbed a few pastries, and Liu Shiliu also tasted them, but of course he didn't dare to eat them.
Shi Rou, the acting shopkeeper, was shocked. Just as he was about to salute the "Master Literary Saint who walked out of the hanging statue", the old scholar smiled and waved his hand, saying no, no, no. Liu Shiliu and the long-lived Taoist friend,
When it comes to business, of course she has no objection. If one or two more golden rains fall on the border of Beiyue, the landscape god seats waiting for them in the Lotus Root Blessed Land can spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Moreover, as the Lotus Root Blessed Land that has not been promoted to the middle-level blessed land for a long time, no matter what happens in the future,
Whether it's the number of gods, city gods, or the rank of their golden bodies, they are not inferior to those of the best middle-level blessed places in the world.
It is rare for money to fall from the sky, but it is even more rare for money to fall into one person's pocket.
Luo Po Mountain has this long-lived Taoist friend sitting on the top of the mountain, and the wealth is rolling in, and there is no way to stop it.
Therefore, the old scholar and his Taoist friend Changshou smiled and thanked her twice before entering and after leaving the house.
The first time Changsheng only talked about her responsibilities, the second time she smiled habitually and accepted it.
After leaving Qilong Lane, the old scholar said: "Your junior brother is not here, so I went to meet your junior brother's best friend. He must be one of the people who protects Chen Ping'an the most."
At the blacksmith shop by the Longxu River, Liu Shiliu met Liu Xianyang, who was sitting on a bamboo chair and taking a nap in the sun.
After Liu Shiliu signed up, Liu Xianyang asked Mr. Wen Sheng to sit down quickly, while bending down to help the old scholar rub his shoulders with his elbows, asking whether the force was light or heavy, and then told Liu Shiliu that the senior scholar and I were
This is my family, my family.
The old scholar couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't know which family the two sides were from.
Liu Shiliu also found it interesting. He was also unreasonable and recognized the young man's origins.
The old scholar squinted his eyes to enjoy the blessing, and told the young man that his strength was just right and that he was comfortable and comfortable. Then the old man imitated the young boy's reading, shook his head leisurely, and said that the pearls and jade in the world can be easily obtained, which is better than the soil at the head of Yangxian River.
Liu Xianyang was startled and said: "Does Mr. know all the poems that were just bought for money in our local county annals? It seems that Mr. Master's knowledge is so great that even a vast world can't accommodate it, at least the fifth world must be included.
.”
Since he is Chen Pingan's husband, he is half of Liu Xianyang's husband.
Too much flattery.
Liu Shiliu was a tall man, so he could only sit on the steps. He put his fists lightly on his knees and looked straight ahead, pretending he didn't hear anything.
However, the husband took it very seriously, "This kind of thing can only be said by one's own family members. It should not be spread outside or spread around, otherwise it will easily arouse jealousy and jealousy."
Liu Xianyang sat on a bamboo chair nearby and said solemnly: "Sir, it is natural that he is so glorious. But as students and disciples, whenever we have the opportunity to say a few words of justice to you, it is our duty to say a few words of justice to him. We can never say too many good things!"
Liu Shiliu couldn't help but glance at Liu Xianyang, who had a sincere face. He heard from his husband that he had studied in the Confucian Chen family in Nanbosu Island for many years. Liu Shiliu recalled the scene on Luo Luo Mountain, Wei Shanjun, the sword fairy,
The girl in pink skirt, Chen Nuanshu, and the little girl in black, Zhou Mili, seemed to be well-educated and reasonable, so he felt relieved. As long as the junior brother didn't imitate Liu Xianyang's speech, then everything would be fine.
The old scholar accompanied Liu Xianyang and chatted about some serious book knowledge.
After asking and answering questions, the old scholar was very satisfied. After studying deeply and working hard enough, it really depends on the level of talent, but whether you are sincere or not does not depend on talent.
Then the old scholar asked Liu Xianyang to ask, and there was another question and answer session.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Xianyang became upright.
The old scholar finally said to the young man, "Xian Yang, let me leave you with a lesson. Think carefully about how to harmonize the foundation of your life and the way you live in the world."
After Liu Xianyang nodded, he stood up and took a few steps back. As a disciple of Confucianism, he bowed respectfully to Mr. Wen Sheng in front of him.
The old scholar stood up and nodded with a smile, "I will not follow the example of the Taoist scholars of later generations and bow to you in return, because you have not yet answered my questions. I will not be too late to return the courtesy to you in the future."
As if after exiting a small world of cultural and Taoist traditions, Liu Xianyang immediately revealed his true colors, straightened up, and laughed and said: "Sir, you have broken your disciples."
Liu Shiliu is more understanding than Liu Xianyang.
Sir, this question is a big one.
In fact, the tenets of the three religions, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, are similar in both high and large areas.
For example, a monk once asked in "The Legend of the Lamp": What happens when a scholar has no place to live? The master said: Where will you settle down and live your life?
The old scholar said: "Let's go."
Liu Shiliu quickly stood up and bowed, "Jun Qian, farewell sir."
The old scholar said: "The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son. As a teacher, I will inevitably favor the disciples who are closed. Jun Qian, don't think too much. After all, Chen Ping'an is different from you. He has been with the teacher all the time."
At least, I rely on myself the most, and I am the youngest, too young..."
Speaking of which.
The old scholar stopped talking because he suddenly discovered that even his close disciples were no longer young.
In the past, the young man with clear eyes, who didn't even know how to drink, and who walked through thousands of mountains and rivers wearing straw sandals, has actually passed thirty years and started to move towards the age of forty.
The old scholar sighed, stamped his feet, and disappeared.
Liu Xianyang handed over a handful of melon seeds, and Liu Shiliu sat back on the steps and shook his head.
Liu Xianyang took the initiative to say something, and Liu Shiliu either nodded or spoke a few concise and concise words. Finally, the two "members" who met for the first time fell silent, each thinking about their own things, but they didn't feel it was awkward.
Finally, Liu Shiliu asked: "When you took a nap earlier and saw the signs of your sword intention and the changes in your body, were you practicing your sword in a dream?"
Liu Xianyang nodded and said casually: "There is a sword scripture handed down from ancestors. The method of practicing swords is rather weird, but it is a pity that it is not suitable for Chen Ping'an."
Liu Shiliu said: "Bai and I are also friends. He is good at swordsmanship. If you encounter a big bottleneck in swordsmanship in the future, you can go to him to discuss. Although Bai Ye has a cold temperament, he is actually warm-hearted. When I meet you like this
The younger generation will definitely be impressed."
Liu Xianyang turned his head, smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Okay, even if the bottleneck of practice is not that big, as long as Mr. Bai is willing to teach, the juniors will be willing to learn!"
Liu Shiliu nodded. The young man is not small-minded, but has a big heart. He doesn't feel that he is giving alms condescendingly, which is good.
No wonder I can be friends with my junior brother.
Just like myself and Shiro?
Liu Shiliu stood up and said goodbye to Liu Xianyang. He didn't like to talk, especially polite words.
Liu Shiliu asked Wei Shanjun to help him hide his whereabouts and return to Luopo Mountain.
He planned to stay here longer so that he could entertain guests when the curtain opened again.
After staying in Luolu Mountain for a long time, I became familiar with Wei Bo and Mi Yu from the Great Wall of Jianqi.
Liu Shiliu and Mi Jianxian inquired about some of their younger junior brothers' hidden official deeds.
Very pleased.
Liu Shiliu now knows Luopo Mountain quite well.
Although my junior brother often travels far away, he is not in his hometown much and spends more time in foreign lands.
But it is indeed not easy to save such a big fortune.
Nowadays, in addition to the romantic relationship with Wei Shanjun of Piyun Mountain, Luo Po Mountain's family has made a lot of money just by taking commission from the business at Niujiao Mountain Ferry.
It was a pity that Liu Shiliu could not meet Zhu Lian, nicknamed the old cook.
Moreover, the teacher said that Pei Qian, the first disciple of Junior Brother, would surprise the whole world sooner or later, so Liu Shiliu was quite curious.
Sword Immortal Mi Yu, whose pseudonym is Yu Mi, has not yet offered incense at the Jise Peak Ancestral Master Hall, but in Aquarius Continent, a Jade Pu Realm sword cultivator from the Great Wall of Sword Qi is actually quite important.
It's just that this swordsman is really too lazy.
It is said that through the family's ink-turning ferry, many people bought many mountain utensils for viewing the mirror, flowers, water and moon, white bowls, picture scrolls, inkstones, rulers and calligraphy, etc., and collected more than 20 pieces for Miyu, and spent money like water.
When Zhou Mili talked about this incident with Liu Shiliu, the little girl felt very sorry for Yu Mi. With this attitude, didn't it make it clear that she was going to be a bachelor?
Zheng Dafeng, who was guarding the gate, was a pure martial artist and went to the fifth world.
Cen Yuanji was born in the ancestral hall of Luopo Mountain, and was also an unnamed disciple of Zhu Lian. The little girl practiced boxing sincerely, walking back and forth on the road at the top of the mountain every day.
Liu Shiliu saw this and planned to find an opportunity to teach her some boxing principles in accordance with the rules of the mountain.
Yuanbao Yuanlai, the two siblings are the direct disciples of Lu Baixiang. I heard that they had just left Luopo Mountain not long ago. Therefore, Luopo Mountain is now even more deserted.
At the Sword Worship Platform, Cui Wei, the bottleneck of the Jindan Realm, and Jiang Qu became a Qi Practitioner, and he also became a talisman.
Huan Yun, an old master of Luzhou in Beiju who traveled here, stayed in Luopo Mountain for a year specifically for Jiang Qu, teaching him the art of talismans.
Because Jiang Qu is not a direct descendant of the Luopo Mountain Patriarch Hall for the time being, there are not many taboos about preaching. The two parties do not have the name of master and disciple, but they have the actual status of master and disciple.
Another peer of the same age, Zhang Jiazhen, was not discouraged because he had no qualifications for cultivation. Instead, he chose to learn the art of financial actuarial calculation from Wei Wenlong, the big accountant from Chunbanzhai in Daoxuanshan, who never appeared in public.
At the New Year's Eve shop in Qilong Lane, the female ghost Shirou is wearing the remains of an Ascended Realm monk.
As for the long-lived Taoist friend, even more so.
In Caotou Shop, the blind Taoist Jia Sheng, Zhao Denggao, Tian Jiuer, three masters and apprentices, and the little girl Jiuer, her blood is a natural "talisman spring". Fortunately, she entered the Luopo Mountain, otherwise the end would not be too good.
, it is easy to become a money tree on the top of Xianjia Mountain.
A black snake migrated from Luopo Mountain to practice in Huimeng Mountain. He was born in Qidun Mountain and is now in the Dragon Gate realm. After transforming into a human form, there is the young man in black with a pale face and wearing a robe of "crow green". He is a snake
It was formed through transformation. The pseudonym is Yunzi, and the real name is "De Zhang".
Regarding the "real name" that is equivalent to half a life, Xiao Mili said that it was the "will" of the big white goose, and Yunzi did not dare to disobey it.
Fortunately, in addition to giving him a name, Cui Dongshan also gave him a valuable immortal treasure suitable for the cultivation of dragons.
As a mountain spirit-water monster whose cultivation is difficult, the reason why Yunzi broke through the realm so quickly has something to do with his own qualifications, but not much. It is still attributed to the snake gallstone presented by Chen Lingjun.
As for the hidden python in Huanghu Mountain, it has long been the bottleneck of the Golden Core Realm, but the python itself has never wanted to go across the river.
Wei Bo, the great mountain king, revealed the secret to Liu Shiliu. It was originally expected to compete with a certain "little loach" for the opportunity of the Five Elements Water, but unfortunately it failed and failed to leave the Lizhu Cave in the end.
The big python's cultivation aptitude is naturally not bad. It has already been able to transform into a human form. However, it rarely shows up. Occasionally, it appears in its true form. It likes to hibernate at the bottom of the big lake and silently open an aquatic cave.
The old owner of Huanghu Mountain who once bought the top of the mountain with gold and fine copper coins only knew that there was a lake monster sitting on the bottom of his lake because the boa constrictor had never landed as a human body, but he did not know its level, let alone such a thing.
It involves the fate of the weather in Lizhu Cave, otherwise Huanghu Mountain would never have been sold half to Luopo Mountain.
The big snake is now known as Huang Shinu. Her real name was also given by Cui Dongshan. It is listed as "Fosong" in the genealogy. She will only occasionally leave the water and go ashore to see Zhou Mili.
Zhou Mili still didn't dare to go down the mountain alone, so he traded bags of melon seeds with Wei Shanjun, and dumped her by the Yellow Lake mountains and rivers every other month.
The girl in the yellow shirt had green eyes as clear as water in autumn. After she came ashore, her whole body was filled with a looming natural mist of vast water clouds.
There is an old pine tree beside the lake. It also has hidden mysteries and a restrained atmosphere, which has not caused any changes in the landscape yet.
If a python has not moved for a thousand years, how can an old pine stop meditating?
Completely different from Yunzi, who is naturally domineering, the girl in yellow shirt, who is actually a python, likes to be quiet and does not like to move. The latter's lair is called Qingnipo, located in Huimeng Mountain, where there is a "fog-poisoned flying kite falling".
, meaning "the windy python has passed".
The young man in white once took the guardian on the left side of the Riding Dragon Alley to visit the Yellow Lake Mountains together. When they were near the water, he smiled and said that the literary giant once had a poem "Sword of Sword" that said, "Leave the dragon in the river to kill, and don't try the dog in the street."
I could hear the giant python lurking at the bottom of the lake, its real body with its head lowered to the mud. As for the native dog behind the boy in white, it was trembling and lying on the ground.
The vassal Huangting Kingdom, as well as the old Shenshui Kingdom including Hongzhu Town and Qidun Mountain, were historically the boundaries of ancient Shu. According to legend, there are endless caves of dragons and dragons, which caused the sword fairy to appear in the clouds and water, and the sword light shot down.
, kill the dragon.
It's just that Liu Shiliu had no intention of meeting Yunzi and the girl in yellow shirt, not to disturb their practice, or to be precise, not to disturb their Taoist mind.
After all, it is actually not a good thing for people in the world to see him, Liu Shiliu.
Only Xiaomi Li, who carried the golden pole and the green bamboo stick every day and patrolled the mountains in the morning and evening without getting tired, had no trouble at all even if he spent time with Liu Shiliu every day.
Firstly, the state of the "Big Mute Lake Monster" was too low, and secondly, Zhou Milidao's heart was pure and clear, so he was fine.
In addition, there are some figures from the Luolu Mountain Patriarch Hall, but they are not on the mountain either.
After Liu Shiliu became familiar with Luopo Mountain, he realized that the transition from the young mountain owner to his students and disciples, and then to the direct descendants and worshipers of the ancestral hall seemed to be mostly traveling far away.
The atmosphere is very strange.
Ordinary mountains are not like this.
Martial arts warriors, sword cultivators, Confucian scholars, Taoist Qi practitioners, various mountain and lake spirits, and female ghosts.
We also need to add that long-lived Taoist friend with special roots.
But they get along well.
Also strange.
Today, Zhou Mili took the big man and sat on the top of the mountain, watching with her the silly Sister Cen as she practiced boxing and went down the mountain. Mili became smaller and smaller, which made Mili so happy that she covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.
After Zhou Mili laughed, he didn't have the money to remind her to be more ladylike, so he felt a little sad, so he planned to say some happy words, turned his head, and asked Liu Liuliu softly: "Brother Half Mountain Lord, let's guess a riddle
Right? I know a lot of riddles, not to mention Sister Nuanshu, even Pei Qian can't compare to me. She couldn't figure out the answer every time, so she could only run around in circles in worry. "
Liu Shiliu smiled and said, "You ask."
Zhou Mili coughed and said, "There is a drum in the sky, hidden deep in the clouds. Once it is knocked, it will rumble, and then it will rumble again. What is it, do you know?"
Liu Shiliu said: "Thunder."
Liu Shiliu glanced at the sky. The ancient god whom he knocked out of his golden body was not from the Lei Department, but maybe the next one would be.
Zhou Mili gave a thumbs up, and then the little girl began to think deeply.
Oh haha, I met a master.
Xiaomi Li, who originally planned to remind the big man, asked again: "There is a grass on the mountain, and there are many pearls. I didn't get it, so you went in vain..."
Liu Shiliu smiled and said: "It must be dew."
There is something in the book that is like morning dew, it will be more painful every day.
Fortunately, there are those who are safe and can see the light of day again, but the rest are unlucky, only the first to show up.
Zhou Mili crossed his hands across his chest, frowned, and thought of a more difficult riddle, "There are many chess pieces, and the chessboard is huge. We can only look at it, but we can't play. Let me ask you, what are the chess pieces?"
Liu Shiliu smiled and shook his head.
He once traveled far and wide alone, saw with his own eyes the sacred and sacred images, and picked up those "chess pieces" to block those ancient beings.
Zhou Mili shook his head and said with a smile: "Is it difficult or not? It doesn't matter if you don't know. As long as you look up at night, you will know the answer."
Then the little girl looked at the big man, who seemed a little lonely, so she said something about small stone tablets, one piece after another, erected in two rows at the door. She opened her mouth slightly and smiled.
Liu Shiliu smiled and rubbed the little girl's head: "I know."
"He is tall and close to the sky. I am so envious."
Xiaomi Li held her cheek and looked into the distance, feeling a little sad, but really sad, "Brother Half Mountain Master, let me tell you a secret. I actually don't like mountain patrols that much, but I am on the mountain every day.
Merely eating melon seeds with nothing to do will not help you much. Do you think you are worried about others? So every time I patrol the mountains, I run very fast. I am secretly being lazy."
Liu Shiliu nodded, "I will keep it secret for you."
Zhou Mili came closer and whispered: "Then let me tell you a big secret. The good guy Mountain Master and I traveled together in Luzhou, Beiju..."
The little girl put the green bamboo cane and the golden pole at her feet, then stood up and said: "I'm standing in a big backpack, and I can hit Master Pei Qian on the head hard." Good man Chen said a snowflake
I spent money on a chestnut and I didn’t blink an eye.”
Liu Shiliu smiled knowingly and said seriously: "Then you are really powerful. You can knock my junior brother's chestnuts off. If word spreads about it, the reputation of the big water monster in Dumb Lake will be really great."
Zhou Mili, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly looked sad, "He taught me all those riddles. If he doesn't come home, I will forget one or two."
Liu Shiliu suddenly wanted to let go and travel to the wild world, to the only remaining territory in the vast world, to meet the young junior brother who could make his husband happy, and then just said that he passed by this place from Aquarius Continent.
So on top of the city, will the junior brother ask with his eyes, "You come from your hometown, what should you know about your hometown?"
Liu Shiliu sighed heavily. He had already asked his husband if this was feasible.
In an instant, Liu Shiliu disappeared on the spot.
Xiaomi Li blinked hard. Why did the big man run away? There was no more difficult riddle for her to guess.
Liu Shiliu stood on a golden arch bridge and frowned slightly.
Then he saw a tall woman in white, holding a sword in both hands, slowly turning her head to look at him.
She has the most exquisite golden eyes in heaven and earth.
Liu Shiliu was silent for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why are you still here?"
Liu Shiliu, who was fearless, did not even take a step forward.
The reason is simple. Liu Shiliu had dealt with her when he was young and suffered a lot.
Liu Shiliu glanced at the long sword in her hand and continued to ask: "You no longer have a sword to serve you?"
