The ninth and twentieth chapters borrow thousands of mountains and rivers with the princes (eight)
Chen Pingan originally planned to go straight to Lingyuan Gongshui Mansion, but he changed his mind temporarily and planned to go elsewhere. With his thoughts in mind, he ignored the distance between mountains and rivers, dressed in a green shirt, and stood under a sycamore tree in the capital of Dayuan Dynasty. Looking up and looking into the distance, Chen Ping'an took another step and came to a palace with only black and white, as if he were a person without a border, as if he was in a land where there is no one.
This Dayuan Dynasty was founded by Shui De. Last time Chen Pingan met with Emperor Lu at the Yunxiao Palace in Chongxuan Department to discuss business. At that time, the emperor only had a young prince named Lu Jun with him. Now he is His Royal Highness, Chen Ping'an not only presented Prince Lu Jun with a copybook written by Mr. Chen, but also gave the boy a hand-copied boxing manual, which was from the Shanshanquan boxing book written by Gu You, a martial artist at the end of the Great Seal Script Dynasty.
As for Lu Jun's cultivation and martial arts qualifications, they were actually very average. Chen Ping'an was honest at the beginning and told the truth, without using polite words to make things up.
In the end, something went wrong and both parties became anonymous masters and disciples.
It was still dark, and there was still some time before the morning court. Emperor Lu Yang woke up early and found it difficult to fall asleep. He simply asked the eunuch to light a lamp, and sat cross-legged on the kang of a small Nuan Pavilion. He was reviewing memorials, rubbing his brows, and laying the Nuan Pavilion. With Earth Dragon, even in the middle of winter, it will be as warm as spring. However, occasionally, His Majesty the Emperor will give an order to stop burning charcoal in the palace, saying that it will be a freeze to warm up the muscles and bones, but it can strengthen the body. On the other hand, those in Wenying Hall The princes of the Lu family who study in the south veranda will only be given a hand stove unless they encounter the bone-chilling cold weather that only occurs once in decades. Otherwise, they have to read loudly while quietly stamping their feet and shivering. They are unbeatable. It's just a matter of studying, it's not hard work, it's just not easy.
Unknowingly, he felt a little sleepy. In his daze, Lu Yang vaguely heard the knock on the door and subconsciously said: "Come in."
Outside the threshold of Nuan Pavilion, a man wearing a green shirt said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I took the liberty of coming here to see Haihan."
Lu Yang opened his eyes and looked at the green shirt outside the door. He was absent-minded for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He got off the heated bed, stepped on his boots casually, and walked quickly towards the door without even putting on his boots. He laughed heartily and said, "It turns out that it's Mr. Chen who's here. I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you."
Chen Ping'an stood there, cupping his hands and clasping his fists, and said apologetically: "The incident happened suddenly and there is no way to notify the access control. I promise it will only be this once."
"Odd people have their own strange things. Mr. Chen is a man of enlightenment, so why bother with these red tapes."
Lu Yang reached out and grabbed Qingshan Ke's arm and said with a smile: "I hope Mr. Chen can come here as a guest often. Come on, let's go sit down in the house and chat."
After Chen Ping'an crossed the threshold, Lu Yang let go of his hand, and the two of them sat on the side of the heated kang. Lu Yang just spread the memorials on the table without any taboos.
Lu Yang listened to Chen Ping'an's concise explanation and learned the truth. He was extremely surprised and couldn't help but sigh: "It's unbelievable, so strange."
The Lu emperor, who was famous for his talents and strategies throughout the continent, said without hesitation: "In fact, Mr. Chen does not need to come to the capital at all. An extra trip will easily delay the business."
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "No matter how detached the Chongxuan Office is, it is still one of the agencies under the jurisdiction of the Dayuan Dynasty. No matter how virtuous and respected Yang Tianjun of Yunxiao Palace is, and no matter how selfless the Yang family's children are, they are still subjects of the Dayuan Dynasty."
Lu Yang laughed heartily and showed his true feelings. From the beginning to the end, he did not even look at the door.
Good words? Of course they are good words.
Just nice words? More than that.
This in itself is a clear statement of the young hermit official's view on the relationship between the Dayuan royal family and the Chongxuan Department.
The gods on the mountain and the emperors below the mountain are like one in charge of the sky and the other in charge of the earth. The relationship between the two parties is complicated. They share weal and woe in both glory and glory, and there is also tacit discord. They may appear to be in harmony with each other, but may even plot against each other, run counter to each other, and treat each other as enemies.
Qiu Kou.
My Jun'er is very lucky and has good luck, so he did not recognize this boxing master in vain. Mr. Chen, who has a high status, always has his elbows turned inward.
They are also hidden officials of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, whether they have inscriptions or not, there is a huge difference.
The last time the two sides met at Yunxiao Palace to discuss matters, Chen Ping'an had not yet traveled far into the wild world, and there was no inscription on the city head.
Lu Yang smiled and asked: "While there is still half an hour before the court meeting, can I go with you to the Chongxuan Department of Yunxiao Palace?"
There was no temptation, nor was it that he couldn't trust the other party. Lu Yang was just a monarch of a country and a noble person, but he was still somewhat fascinated by the kind of flying in the clouds and mist.
Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "I'm sorry."
When the young Yin official finished his words, Lu Yang soon became a little disappointed, because he seemed to have moved to a place in just a blink of an eye. It was exactly where they met last time. He was not the kind of fairy who could fly in the clouds and ride the wind.
, has nothing to do with the expected feeling of calmness.
Chen Ping'an and Lu Yang stood side by side, and soon an old master appeared at Chongxuan Department. It was Yang Qingjin, the national master. The old master held a white jade pole with the tail engraved with the word "Wind God".
Practice makes perfect for Chen Ping'an. When he apologized to the Taoist Heavenly Lord, Yang Qingxin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll just treat it as a fugue."
Yang Qing was afraid of having a fight with His Majesty the Emperor, "I have met Your Majesty."
Lu Yang put his hands behind his back, nodded to the Imperial Preceptor, and said with a smile: "I am just joining in the fun, the Imperial Preceptor just pretends that I don't exist."
If the Chongxuan Office is an official institution set up by the Dayuan Court, then Yunxiao Palace, like the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, is a jungle of descendants. Although the Dayuan Court set up a Taoist government office here, it is actually just a decoration.
Anyway, the big and small Taoist officials either have the surname Yang, or have the certificates granted by Yunxiao Palace.
Although the Taoist of Yunxiao Palace is not a water god, Yang Guoshi is very important in Taoism and water luck. What's more, the temple of Dadu Shangshui, who was not able to become a prince, is located nearby. The temple of Situ Jideng is located nearby.
The three of them sat down on the stone bench under the tree, which was actually the same position as last time. After hearing about Chen Ping'an's deal, Yang Qing smiled casually and said: "I just said that because of the merit of this gift, if Pindao is in his heart
If there is even the slightest grudge, it means you have not practiced enough and your heart is not strong enough.”
Chen Pingan was determined that this trip was worthwhile.
But he couldn't just pat his ass and leave as soon as the deal was concluded, so he took the initiative to chat with Lao Tianjun about the current situation of brothers Yang Ningzhen and Yang Ningxing in Colorful World. However, he did not say anything about his relationship with that "Mu Mao"
In the meeting with "brother", he only said that he heard the rumors at the summer palace in Feisheng City. Yang Qing was afraid that he heard the two brothers at first, one broke through the realm one after another, and the other had become friends with Yuan Qingshu who was in the corner of the cave that day.
, Lord Tianjun always looked as usual, but when the young official seemed to casually talk about something about the Qingshen Dynasty in the Qingming world, and the elegant Prime Minister Yao Qing, Yang Qingxing glanced at the Qingshan Sword Immortal and smiled slightly,
Nod gently.
Yang Qingyin suddenly said: "I have admired Mr. Chen for a long time. Do you want to take this opportunity to meet and talk to me today?"
Chen Ping'an just regarded it as a casual remark from the old man and nodded: "Of course."
Yang Qing smiled nervously, and gently threw the tail of the horse, and there appeared a Taoist priest with a young appearance, who seemed to be detained here.
After this person appeared here, he looked around, with a Taoist heart that was still intact, and he quickly called the Taoist priest to the three of them, "I pay homage to Your Majesty, I have met the Patriarch, Yin Guan."
Yang Houjue, in the Yupu realm, has a Taoist name of "Kneading Ni".
In Luzhou, Beiju, and even in the entire Haoran world, he is considered an extremely young monk in the upper five realms. Although the person holding the titles of National Master and Tianjun is still Yang Qingqing, in fact, no matter whether it is the Dayuan court
From the Chongxuan Office to the Yang family's Yunxiao Palace, Yang Houjue was in charge of court affairs and housework. In addition, Yang Houjue was both the elder of the brothers and half of their evangelist.
Previously, Chen Ping'an helped Caique Mansion find three guest ministers, all of whom had great backgrounds.
In addition to Yuan Lingdian of Xuanfeng on Padi Peak, and Yuanying Sword Xiu Rongchang who was Li Cai's disciple, the third person was Yang Houjue, the manager of Chongxuan Department.
Later, I heard that Chen Ping'an was the candidate personally recommended by Emperor Lu, and Yang Houjue agreed without hesitation.
This is actually an unusual thing.
Except for Yang Houjue, who is still standing for now, the three people here are all sophisticated.
It was just an extremely subtle pause between the young official and the old imperial master.
Emperor Lu immediately understood the key points.
It should be that Chen Ping'an needs a little buffer time to determine whether God can call Yang Houjue in person and whether he needs to do it for him.
And Yang Qing probably took advantage of the situation and used his superb immortal power to directly "move" Yang Houjue from outside the world to Chen Ping'an's dream world.
After Yang Houjue sat down, he happened to be sitting opposite Chen Ping'an. He looked sincere and said with a smile: "I happened to have something to do last time and missed it. In fact, I have wanted to see Yin Guan for many years. Today I got my wish. I am very lucky."
Yang Qingjin briefly explained the reason to this junior member of the family who had high hopes for him. Yang Houjue nodded lightly, and then Lao Tianjun smiled and joked: "Actually, there are two distinguished guests in the Chongxuan Department at the moment. They are similar to Houjue. They are very interested in Mr. Chen."
I am also fascinated by it. I wonder if Mr. Chen has ever heard of Gao Xianting?"
Chen Ping'an looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Grandmaster Gao's name is like thunder. Moreover, although the Qunyu Mountain where Chief Gao is located is not a swordsmanship sect, it has been a frequent visitor to the Sword Qi Great Wall for the past thousand years."
From the perspective of Beiju Luzhou, after Gu You's death, there are now only three Zijing warriors left in Beiju Luzhou. The unscrupulous old man Wang went to Su, and after re-entering the mountain, he made many military exploits and recovered.
Now that I am free, I no longer need to go to Tianjun Xieshi’s place every year to “do the mao” on time.
Li Er, the guest of the Lion Peak, is a great master who suddenly appeared. The other one is Gao Xianting, who is in his early 100s. When he was traveling far away, Gao Xianting served as a pure martial artist in the Yushan Mountain of a northern sect.
Facts have proved that the ancestor of Qun Yushan has an excellent vision. This young warrior did not break through the realm too quickly, but his path to the top was extremely steady. He eventually became a warrior who has reached the end of the world, and is expected to join the ranks.
Returning to the true level. Gao Xianting's wife, a Taoist monk on the mountain, is a female swordsman who has been in the Yupu realm for a few years. Her name is Zheng Yunzhi, and her Taoist name is Qingluo. In the end, Gao Xianting became the chief worshiper, and then became
He became the son-in-law of Qun Yushan.
Xiao Shu, the contemporary sect leader of Qunyu Mountain, is Zheng Yunzhi's senior brother. He is a monk in the Immortal Realm. Although he is not a swordsman, he leads a group of more than 30 people from the sect. At that time, he and Taihui Sword Sect Han Huaizi traveled south across the continent and rushed to
The Great Wall of Sword Qi. Because the attack was too heavy and he went too far out of the city, he was seriously injured and almost fell. The group of jade mountains were all monks directly descended from the ancestor hall, and they suffered heavy casualties.
However, it is rumored that the relationship between Zheng Yuanzhi and Li Cai is not harmonious, just because there is a culprit named Jiang who once offended Zheng Yuanzhi miserably.
And this famous Jiang thief in Luzhou, Beiju, now happens to be the chief priest of his Luolu Mountain, which is a complete mess.
After chatting for a while, Yang Houjue suddenly stood up, took three steps back, and called Chen Ping'an again, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for helping Pindao to end a fate that was caused by his previous life in the world of mortals in the Ghost Valley.
My long-cherished wish is that Yang Houjue in this life will be an old friend of the Longshan Kingdom in the past. For myself and for her, I sincerely thank Mr. Chen."
Not only was Lu Yang confused when he heard this, but even Chen Ping'an himself was confused at first. It was only when he heard Yang Houjue calling himself "an old man from the Longshan Kingdom" that he suddenly realized it.
After standing up and hesitating for a moment, Chen Ping'an still kept his temper and returned to Yang Houjue, a Taoist priest, and said softly: "Duckweed gathers, we will meet again if we are destined."
Lord Tianjun sighed softly, but there was still a more relaxed look between his brows.
It turns out that Chen Ping'an and that good brother once traveled together to a secret cave. There were two white bones inside. One was a female monk from Fengming Peak of Dezong of Qing Dynasty, and the other was the monarch of Longshan Kingdom. In his early years, he was also a monk of Qingde.
He was one of the Taoist embryos of the sect who "opened the golden door with the sound of a drum, and thirty immortal materials grew green". However, when the national crisis hit, he had to give up halfway, give up his practice, go down the mountain again, and inherit the throne.
In this way, Yang Houjue is willing to serve as the guest minister of Xiaocaique Mansion, and it is a matter of course.
It's no wonder that the good brother went to the summer residence of the empress in Peoluo Mountain, and that he "happened" to find the secret tunnel.
After sending Emperor Lu back to the royal study in the capital, Chen Ping'an went to the Swinging River Temple and met the He Bo named Xue Yuansheng again.
When Chen Ping'an visited Luzhou in Beiju for the first time, after he left the Mural City, it was He Bo, who liked to be a punter, who gave him a ride.
Xue Yuansheng is still the same, a dark-skinned old man, like an old farmer, facing the loess and back to the sky every year.
But at that time, Chen Ping'an was dressed in a bamboo hat and a wine flask, and crossed the river by boat.
After confirming Chen Ping'an's identity, Old He Bo marveled and shook his head: "I can't believe that my small ancestral temple has even accepted incense from a hidden official."
At that time, Xue Yuansheng mistakenly thought that he had met a fool who was not familiar with the world.
How could he allow such a great blessing to slip through his fingers, and finally miss the chance to be recognized by a goddess who rides a deer in a mural city?
Xue Yuansheng and the green-robed Sword Immortal walked out of the temple and walked to the river together. It is hard to imagine that this old man, who is as golden as the God of Jiangshui, is still a prostitute Hebo who has not been ennobled by the imperial court.
.
Xue Yuansheng pointed to a place by the river and said with a smile: "It was here that the little girl named Pei broke through, and the weather was so scary. Well, it has only been a few years, and now she has to call her Grandmaster Pei.
.”
After the battle at Guanli Zhengyang Mountain in Luolu Mountain, this incident became a topic of considerable discussion between Xue Yuansheng and his old friends at the wine table.
I once stood still by the river and received a breakthrough punch from Grandmaster Pei.
After that, the two parties became acquainted without fighting. I helped her cross the river in a boat, and we got along well with each other.
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.
Pei Qian's opportunity to break through the situation at that time was due to the battle between the truth in her heart and the truth in the world.
Chen Ping'an once asked Li Huai in detail about the big and small things that happened during his trip with Pei Qian.
When a little girl grows up, becomes a girl, and then a young woman, she should hide her worries.
Even Chen Ping'an, who is the master, can't ask too many questions.
Xue Yuansheng habitually squatted down, rubbed the soil, and said with a smile: "What were you thinking back then? Others couldn't seek good luck, but you avoided it. At first, I mistakenly thought that you were a wooden person who didn't understand the style, or...
He's a fool who can't figure it out, otherwise it really doesn't make sense. Now think about it, how could a person who can become a swordsman and a hidden official be so stupid? Then he must have been pretending to be stupid back then."
Chen Pingan sat casually on the shore, nodded and said: "I was really pretending to be stupid at that time, but I was really scared."
Xue Yuansheng smiled and said: "That goddess who rides a deer is very noble. She is the only person she despises. But a foreigner suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She was already angry to death by you. If she hears such a bastard
If you say that, I will be mad at you to death again."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Everyone has his own preferences, there is no distinction between them."
Old He Bo couldn't help but slandered. It was strange. It seemed that the young swordsman next to him had passed by the mural city and saw the eight painted goddesses in the mural city: Chun Guan, Baogai, Ganoderma lucidum, Changqing, fairy staff, and riding a deer.
, Xingyu, Hanging Inkstone, all turned into white drawing patterns. Of course, the first five people have left the mural city long ago. They are alive and dead, and each has his own fate.
But can this Lord Yinguan be regarded as a person who just sits on the sidelines and is the final official?
Chen Pingan took out the sword-raising gourd and took a sip of wine. This was so real that he could no longer drink fake wine.
There are only three remaining painted murals from that time. The Goddess Riding a Deer was heartbroken by a young outsider. However, due to fate, she turned to the leader of the Qingliang Sect, who was in harmony with her Taoism.
He Xiaoliang. The Goddess of Rain who was good at playing chess, named Shu Shi, made a contract with the young monk who was holding an ancient jade tablet and kowtowing until his forehead bones were exposed. Then she
I will go to "Li Liu" to apologize.
As for the Guayan Goddess, she had followed her master to Liuxia Continent. Before leaving the Skeleton Beach, she visited the Ghost Valley and pocketed the Jixiao Mountain Pocket Thunder Pond.
And the owner she identified was none other than the city lord of Appearance City on the night voyage, Shao Baojuan.
Every time Chen Ping'an thinks about this, he gets very angry. I only dug a few Jixiao Mountain Thunder Whips based on my ability. Why did I start a dispute with you about the avenue? Is it possible that your family's avenue is the same?
Is it a field road? Even if it is a field road, if you just turn sideways to each other, you will pass each other and go on your way.
Xue Yuansheng asked curiously: "Is this in Master Yinguan's dream?"
Chen Pingan nodded.
Xue Yuansheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "That's okay?! It's really a great achievement in cultivating Taoism. A good man will treat you with admiration after three days."
"It's just a trick."
"What you scholars say is watertight."
"It's only worth eight pieces of silver."
Xue Yuansheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Tell me what you want from me this time."
After getting Chen Ping'an's answer, Xue Yuansheng frowned and said, "What are you trying to do? Is it worth it?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Anyone can ask this kind of question, but Master Xue asked too much."
If it were worth it, Hebo Xue Yuansheng's current height would be at least 50% higher.
If this is the case, now that Dadu has been enthroned, Xue Yuansheng can fill the vacancy and become the official of the temple, which is more than enough.
Xue Yuansheng raised his hands, rubbed his cheeks fiercely, nodded and said: "Then it's settled, it's just a stick of incense with sincerity, and I'll treat it as a tribute to you who doesn't deserve it in my heart."
Both parties were very cheerful when talking about business, but in fact it was just a matter of a few sentences.
Instead, they started chatting about Pei Qian, and the conversation started immediately. One of them was willing to talk more, while the other liked to hear this and was reluctant to leave.
Xue Yuansheng said that no matter what, he could not connect the money-obsessed girl back then with the later "Zheng Saqian" and "Pei Qian".
It only says that the girl brought out a set of tools, weighed the silver with the basket, and then carefully cut out eight coins from the broken silver with small scissors. In addition to the small basket with green bamboo poles, there were also a lot of weights, among which
Two of them were engraved with the words "Never lose money" and "Only make money"... No wonder she later changed her name to Zheng Qian and traveled around the world...
After apologizing to Xue Yuansheng, she would still be extremely upset and say that she was too good at practicing boxing and that she was not as good as a hammer boxer.
At that time, there was also a young scholar wearing a Confucian shirt. He was very nice, but to be honest, at first glance, it seemed that he was not particularly good at reading.
Regarding Xue Yuansheng's evaluation of Li Huai, Chen Pingan could only be speechless.
Chen Pingan put away the sword gourd in his sleeve and asked: "Is Xue Hebo willing to serve as the river god canonized by the imperial court?"
If Xue Yuansheng agrees to this, soon there will be a Minister of Rites passing by the country, holding a golden edict from the emperor, coming here to abbot the imperial canonization ceremony, and at the same time, a deputy mountain chief of Yufu Academy will also be present.
.
This is also the reason why Chen Ping'an changed his route before, and he needed the help of Dayuan Emperor Lu Yang and Chongxuan Department to help bridge the gap.
The imperial court's canonization of landscape gods consumes a country's luck, and Xue Yuansheng is famous for not caring about incense, so that everyone respects the Swaying River Bodhisattva, but all the imperial courts where big rivers flow through do not
If you dare to take the initiative to find Xue Yuansheng, you are afraid that you will not be able to make ends meet, which will affect the fortune of the country.
It's just that Chen Ping'an has his own means to smooth out this debt, and he will definitely not treat the court badly afterwards.
Xue Yuansheng looked strange and said with a smile: "If you insist on pushing this temple of obscenity to this position, Master Chen, what do you want? You are planning to find me to do business in partnership, similar to that of Pima Sect and Chunlu Pu.
?I hope that I, the new river god, can take care of the river transportation, and then we can make money and share the accounts together. You will have a lot of money, and I will have a prosperous life?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Xue Hebo thinks too much."
Xue Yuansheng joked: "Why, are you still asking me not to do it?"
Chen Ping'an held back his laughter, "Then I beg you."
Xue Yuansheng asked doubtfully: "A majestic swordsman, the master of a sect, is face so worthless?"
Chen Ping'an replied: "Although it is not too valuable, it is worth some money, but Mr. Xue can't afford it."
Xue Yuansheng shook his head, still insisting on his opinion, "If I were the god of rivers, I would have become the god of rivers a long time ago. I am not happy with it. There are too many restrictions. I am not as comfortable as I am now."
It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This is true. Zhu Quan, the previous head of the Pima Sect, was a very forthright mountain aunt. She came to see me twice and said the same thing. Old Xue, you don’t mind being a little He Bo.
Are you shabby? Say something to me, and I will help you run it. I will knock on the door one by one. In the future, seven or eight temples will rise along the banks of the swaying river. Even if I don’t have a sign in Zhuquan,
how?
But Xue Yuansheng didn't even nod.
Xue Yuansheng turned around and said: "Can Master Chen Shan please tell me the truth? Otherwise, even if I reject the matter today, I will still have to worry about it in the future."
Whether sword cultivators in the world can talk about it or not, the ancestral halls on Luzhou Mountain in Beiju know best.
Chen Ping'an waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xue Hebo, don't think too much, just forget it if you don't agree. I just made up my mind and said it casually."
Xue Yuansheng said angrily: "I believe you are a hammer. Show some sincerity!"
Chen Pingan thought for a while and gave the answer he had in mind, "Although I am not very old, I have traveled to many places in my life, and I have not met many old people."
Xue Yuansheng sighed, "With your words, I will be more comfortable than being the high-ranking god of rivers."
Chen Ping'an said from his heart: "Xue Hebo, if you have always been the prostitute Hebo, you may miss a big opportunity."
Xue Yuansheng reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, I appreciate your kindness. You keep going, it's important to hurry up."
Chen Pingan nodded.
Xue Yuansheng stood up and asked with a smile: "It's not easy after all these years, right?"
"To put it into perspective, it's actually simple. It's nothing more than..."
Chen Ping'an paused briefly and said slowly: "People do things, and things teach others."
Xue Yuansheng nodded and said: "It seems that this is the ultimate truth when it comes to breaking the sky."
Chen Pingan smiled brightly and said goodbye with fists in his hands.
Xue Yuansheng silently clasped his fists.
It was not until today that Old He Bo realized that the Great Wall of Sword Qi and the Last Hidden Official had succeeded each other and lived up to each other's expectations.
————
Jidu Lingyuan Palace.
At dawn, a group of Yingying Yanyan, who did not need to go to the government office for the time being, gathered together to chat in a Chaoshou veranda. Because it did not belong to the "official road" of Shuifu, no outsiders were destined to pass by this place, so they
There is no need to pay too much attention to etiquette. Their identities are mostly female officials of the Water Mansion Traceability Department and the Boundary Demarcation Department. The former is responsible for determining the origins of large and small water veins, as well as protecting the sources of these water veins from ordinary people.
The latter's status and responsibilities are similar to those of the Qintian Prison. They draw clear boundaries and are responsible for regularly inspecting the boundaries of all rivers, lakes and streams, and guarding the boundary monuments. Both are veritable Qingshui Yamen, with small authority, no oil and water, and few ordinary things.
.
These women are either narcissus or female ghosts from the old Nanxun Water Palace, or young monks who have just entered the water palace. Most of them are still childish and lively, and have not yet been completely polished off. They gather together, chattering, and it is very lively.
.If you are close to the houses of important government offices such as the Audit Department and the Rewards and Punishment Department, you will never see this beautiful scenery.
A girl who came from a wealthy family in the Great Seal Script Dynasty couldn't help but ask: "According to Master Xu's interpretation of the word, the word "du" is interpreted as "小gul", so it is just a small ditch. What's going on?"
A female official from the Nanxunshui Palace nodded and said with a smile: "The literary saint also has a chapter on self-cultivation. There is a sentence in it, 'If you hate its source, open up its filth, the river can be drained.' It is obvious that in our literary saint
It seems that this "du" is smaller than the river, which verifies Master Xu's statement. As for how this "du" evolved into a big one, I used to work in the archives office of Jiushui Palace and read a lot of official books and unofficial histories.
There seems to have never been any written record.”
Another Taoist monk who came from a humble background asked timidly: "How come he is 'our' literary sage?"
Of course she knew about the old master who restored the sacred position in the Confucian Temple, but wasn't the Confucian Master a Chinese surname?
The waters of Jidu are divided into two and are still vast. There are nearly eighty dynasties and small vassal states under the jurisdiction of Lingyuan Palace. For example, the Great Zhuan Dynasty near the entrance of Jidu issued a decree a few years ago.
, together with the Dazhuan Zhou clan itself, plus a dozen vassal states, they "offered" nearly fifty monks to Shuifu in one go. In addition, there were some additional support from the officialdom, which was regarded as a back door, and they were able to enter Shuifu to practice.
, in fact, it is the gilding method of some wealthy children of aristocratic families, which is equivalent to getting the genealogical identity of Dadu Water Mansion for free. This group of men and women, regardless of whether they have succeeded in cultivating Taoism within ten years, whether they will stay on the spot, or they will eventually be sent back to their hometown.
It all counts as having a future.
Just like this moment, a girl sitting on the railing at the edge of the corridor was studying a paper horse carrying water talisman. It was a hand-painted golden talisman. The talisman paper was made of gold foil and had a picture of a god general wearing armor and riding a horse.
The pattern is similar to the speeding method of the gods on the mountain, and the shrinking method, but it uses the secret method of Shuifu, taking the path of gods and incense. Because there is an extra process of sacrificial burning, the talisman is truly completed, so ordinary talisman monks cannot draw talismans.
Yes, this talisman has the reputation of "paper money, armor, horse, fruit, and mysteries, and you can see thousands of miles away".
When you practice cultivation, you will not realize that spring is coming, and every inch of time is worth an inch of gold.
"You don't even know this?"
The female officer who once worked in the Archives Office of Xunshui Palace in the Old South let out a laugh and said, "Back then, we, the sword cultivators in Luzhou, Beiju, traveled together in great strength across the sea, and landed at Aaizhou to fight against the monks from Yizhou.
, it was Mr. Wen Sheng's kind words that kept us from fighting, but our trip was not in vain. After that, Aai Aizhou lost the word "北". This is something recognized by the Confucian Temple. For thousands of years,
Haoran Jiuzhou, changing its name just this once, can it be a small matter?"
Having said this, the female officer was full of energy and said, "So, Wen Shengming is obviously more interested in us, and he is half of his family in Luzhou, Beiju."
"Besides, the direct disciple of Wen Sheng, Mr. Zuo Zuo, Zuo Dajianxian, is the best swordsman in the world. Pei Min has to step aside for any swordsmanship. When Zuo Dajianxian went to sea to travel, he once came to us.
Here, Ji Yue, the Sword Immortal of Yuanwei Mountain, came to the coast with their swords. They all learned Mr. Zuo's swordsmanship. Of course they lost, but even though they lost, it was still an honor. Think about it, ordinary swordsmanship is so good.
Not enough, the realm is not enough, even if I happily go to Zuo Dajianxian to ask about swords, they will be willing to take care of me, but if I want to see it, I won’t even raise my eyelids, let alone raise my hand, right?"
"Even if we don't talk about these old almanacs, we will just say that things have been better in the past few years. On the other side of the Sword Qi Great Wall, the young hidden official who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, the Taihui Sword Sect, and Duckweed Sword Lake
, who doesn’t know what the relationship is? Chen Li and Gao Youqing of Duckweed Sword Lake are not the two sword fairy embryos that young Yin Guan personally handed over to Lord Li Hu? Then Chen Li, there is also a small Yin Guan
As for the title, I heard from Grandma Liu that Chen Li claims to be a hundred-year-old swordsman on the "Nothing" card. Ha, bragging? Wrong, he is self-effacing.
It’s possible.”
The girl from the wealthy family at the foot of the mountain pecked at the rice and said: "I know, I heard my grandfather said before coming to Shuifu that the young hermit official and the Master Liu of the Taihui Sword Sect were the best drinking buddies.
No matter how much you drink at the wine table, you can't beat Sect Leader Liu. So, our swordsmanship in Luzhou, Beiju, will definitely lose to that of Jian Qi Great Wall. But when it comes to the wine table, it's true.
Huang Laozhanglu, the local sword cultivator who did not give in to their local sword cultivator at all, also said that when he left the Great Wall of Sword Qi, he drank the old swordsman named Dong Sangeng who was seeing off guests at the wine shop.
Vomited."
She seemed to remember something and whispered: "There seems to be a rumor that Marquis Longting said that he and the Lord Yinguan are brothers who cut off chicken heads and burned yellow paper. Is it true or false?"
If it is true, it is indeed very powerful. Although he is a Dadu Marquis and is slightly inferior to his own Lingyuan Gong, in this matter, it seems that the Marquis Mansion can win back a victory?
The female official who was an old official of Nanxunshui Palace said angrily: "It's just bragging, whoever takes it seriously is stupid. What kind of virtue is Marquis Longting? Outsiders may not know, but we old neighbors of Longgong Cave..."
A nun who happened to be passing by the corridor heard these words from a distance. She immediately stepped forward and scolded her sternly: "You are so impudent! You are a child with a yellow mouth and you are not ashamed of your words."
This Aunt Liu is now in charge of the Etiquette Department of the Sixteenth Department of Shuifu. She was once an official at the Great River Dragon Palace ruins in Luzhou, Beiju. She is an old woman who pays great attention to etiquette. She slowly walks up to these girls.
In front of the film, he said angrily: "How dare you gossip and stir up trouble? There are no rules at all. If this is spread to outsiders, they will mistakenly think that our government has no laws. You guys, as long as you speak, you will
I recorded it once in Bo Lusi's office. If he makes similar remarks again, once he is discovered, he will be expelled from the mansion on the spot!"
The old woman stared at the chicks like a hawk. Not only the old water palace official, but also all the other women were so frightened that they became silent and turned pale.
The stern old woman was really angry, but she really didn't mean to make a fuss out of a molehill and take advantage of a group of girls to show off her power. In her position, it was unnecessary. It's just that such bastard words can be big or small, but really
If it were to reach the ears of the Longting Marquis Mansion, a careless move would be a disaster. It would inevitably create a gap between the master and the Longting Marquis, who had a harmonious relationship with each other.
Even if Lord Longting is a big-hearted man and doesn't take it seriously when he hears it, he is afraid that the officials of the Hou Mansion are so stubborn and have the ancient spirit of humiliating their ministers to death. There are many mountains and rivers bordering the two houses, so it is easy to
There were constant disputes. In the countryside and fields, armed fights often broke out just because of grabbing water, let alone the two mansions of Dadu Gonghou.
What's more, you little girls who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, do you really think that Li Yuan, who didn't even look down on the Water Dragon Sect when Shui Zheng was in power, is an easy person to get along with?
Let’s just talk about the Leishen Mansion on Baby Mountain in the far west of Dadu. Even two words were deducted from the plaque at the entrance of the mountain. Why did they hold their noses and let him go in the end? It’s not Li Yuan who dared not let him go. , he, the Marquis of Longting, is going to flood the Thunder God's house! A man named Shui Zheng who has only been the Marquis of Longting for a few days dares to ignore his official position and the rules of the Confucian Temple so seriously. Why? He, Longting Is Hou a fool?
It's a pity that Mr. Longtinghou was not present, otherwise I would have been unable to help but reply, "You are wrong. I really only rely on my passion and loyalty."
This is called stabbing someone for the sake of a friend. First stab yourself, then ask the other person if they are afraid. If the other person is not afraid, then stab the other person again. In this cycle, it depends on who is more ruthless and can withstand it better.
There is a woman in palace attire, who looks like an imperial concubine, is graceful and beautiful, and is extremely beautiful.
The spirit is clear and the bones are beautiful, just like a hibiscus in the distant mountains.
The woman is none other than Shen Lin, the former owner of the Nanxun Water Palace and now the Duke of Dadu Lingyuan. She is followed by two goddesses of the Water Palace. They are the leaders of the Inspection Department and the Qing Gong. One has a high position and the other is in charge... ...receiving gifts.
Shen Lin smiled softly and said: "If we don't do this next time, this time there will be no need to record it with the Bookkeeping Department."
The old woman immediately prayed to Duke Lingyuan for a thousand blessings, and Duke Lingyuan even spoke of Chrysostom. It was a great blessing for those little girls.
The female officials and subordinates saluted Shen Lin one after another.
Shen Lin asked them all to stand up, then touched the heads of the girls who were chatting most enthusiastically, with a gentle look on his face, and said with a soft smile: "In the future, you should be more cautious when speaking outside. Liu Lizhi is kind-hearted and taking care of you." Do things according to the rules. But it's not a big problem if you go back to your own place and whisper something behind closed doors. You don't need to be too formal. Well, pay special attention to it and don't let you "old-fashioned people" listen to you. Then everything will be fine. "
Of course, the old woman was given such an unpleasant nickname by the officials of Shui Mansion, but she didn't care much about it. When she heard Duke Lingyuan's teasing, the old woman couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Lin smiled and said: "It's still early, so you can continue chatting. It's always good to praise others more and less to hurt others."
Then he turned to the old lady and said, "Liu Lizhi, I want to talk to you about something by the way."
After walking out of the corridor, the old woman asked: "Master, are you still worried about the name of the dojo?"
Shen Lin nodded and said: "It's not a problem to keep putting it off. Marquis Longting has already thought of a name. After reporting it to the Confucian Temple, it seems that it has been approved."
For example, in Aquarius Island in the south, there is Changchun Marquis Yanghua in Dadu. There are two plaques hanging on a mansion, Changchun Marquis Mansion and Bixiao Palace.
One is the official gate of the Confucian Temple, and the other is the temple of the gods.
Qidu Linlihou, Laojiao was born in Fengshui Cave, and his old priesthood was that of Qiantang Chief. After being granted the title of Marquis, a plaque was already hung on it, Yunwen Palace.
They were written by two mountain masters from Linlu Academy and Guanhu Academy.
Only the Lingyuan Gongshui Mansion has never been revealed. Shen Lin was lucky at first and wanted to see that existence to see if he could ask for a name. However, at the beginning of building the mansion, Shen Lin quietly flew The sword sent a message to Lion Peak, and then it was like a mud cow sinking into the sea. There was no more. It was obvious that the other party was not willing to pay attention to him at all, and Shen Lin no longer dared to disturb the other party's cultivation.
Another way is to be like the Marquis of Changchun and the Marquis of Linli and ask for a name from the headmaster of the academy in this continent. If you have personal friendships and connections in the Chinese Confucian Temple, please ask those academics to offer wine and ministers. Of course it is better, but let alone the Confucian Temple, even the chief and deputy directors of Beiju Luzhou Yufu Academy cannot be said to have any incestuous feelings. After all, helping to name it is not a simple matter of giving two words.
Think of one yourself?
Shen Lin really didn't think he was any better than Li Yuan in terms of naming.
Shen Lin rubbed his eyebrows. He really had a headache. The matter was not small and urgent. How could he not worry about it? He couldn't help but sigh, "Liu Lizhi, you and Deputy Chief Zhao of Yufu Academy are fairly acquainted. Find an opportunity to pay him a visit and see if you can invite him to visit the Water Mansion without saying anything about the name."
The embarrassing thing about this kind of thing is that the other party agreed, helped to pick a name seriously, and took out a calligraphy painting. If he was unhappy and felt that the name did not match the Shuifu Avenue, wouldn't it be a slap on the other party? Face?
The old woman nodded and said: "I know the pros and cons. Master, please be a little relieved. I believe that with the Feng Shui of our water house, the boat will reach the bridge and it will be straight."
Shen Lin forced a smile and said, "I hope so."
The old woman set off immediately, holding the Shuifu token in hand, to pay a visit to Deputy Mountain Chief Zhao at Yufu Academy.
Shen Lin walked into the boundaries of the old Nanxunshui Palace. There were many yamen, big and small, mostly goddesses, but there were also men, but the number was relatively small.
Some diligent officials of the Shuifu Mansion had already sat down in their respective public rooms and started to deal with the matters at hand before the official office was called.
Shen Lin returned to his study and hung a study plaque with a gold-lettered list, which has a long history.
Shen Lin said: "Pass this message, and within one month, we will thank guests behind closed doors. As for the Spring Festival Ceremony of the Zhou Family in Dazhuan, please decline it for me. I'll just let Bo Lu Si Cuiwan write the letter. You can do it later." Send her my official seal. If it’s not important, don’t disturb her.”
Standing outside the study room, a personal goddess who also serves as the female official of the Seal Department of Shuifu said with a respectful expression: "Accept the decree."
Shen Lin waved his sleeves, closed the door, made magic spells with both hands, and opened the layers of extremely hidden landscape restrictions. Then his figure dissipated, turning into a mysterious and mysterious picture, like a water painting.
The golden half of the Dadu main vein, the pale golden rivers, some relatively minor rivers are silvery white, and there are also the largest number of gray streams.
Shen Lin quietly came to the secret realm of Nanxun Hall, which is the location of Shen Lin's real Taoist temple. It is equivalent to the ancestral hall of the sect on the mountain. It is also where Shen Lin's golden body is kept. The real body of the Taoist temple is a refined green snail. It is made of a genuine snail shell and used as a dojo. This "Dharma snail" comes from a large sect that has disappeared. It is one of the sacrificial ritual vessels. There is an extremely profound water magic formula engraved on the inner wall. If it weren't for this thing, Shen Lin I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the Supreme One again.
The space of the dojo is not large, similar to the study room outside, but it is a manifestation of the Taoist "heart studio". It can be imagined that the old owner of this conch has reached an incredible level of Taoist attainments.
Inside the dojo, there was nothing except a golden urn made of purple material.
The talisman surrounded by purple energy is as big as a vertical landscape painting, hanging in the void, with a string of golden words shining brightly, which is the "room of uprightness and light".
Threads of incense are gathered here from large and small water mansions, rivers and ancestral temples. The essence of human incense is scattered in the room, floating uncertainly.
Shen Lin originally planned to take a break from his busy schedule and spend a month to refine his golden body. There were many affairs in Shui Mansion, and she didn't like to be a hands-off shopkeeper like Li Yuan. Shen Lin worked more meticulously and had to do everything personally, but Shen Lin didn't do it because of his status. There is no slack in the changes. In the final analysis, these gods use incense to temper their golden bodies and raise the height of their gods, which is where the root of the great path lies.
Shen Lin suddenly noticed that something was wrong. She immediately put her hand to the center of her eyebrows and closed her eyes subconsciously. It was like a pale golden eye opened in the center of her eyebrows. However, Shen Lin's tense heartstrings immediately relaxed a little, and she silently put away a stream of water. The law attacks supernatural powers.
Shen Lin smiled brightly. He was actually the uninvited guest who was so bold and impudent. He had a perfect demeanor, folded his hands and said a blessing, and said softly: "Shen Lin, an old man from Nanxun Water Palace, has met Mr. Chen."
The guest in green shirt in front of me is the foreigner who was called "Mr. Chen" by "Li Liu" back then.
Shen Lin was indeed grateful to him and owed him a lot.
Looking back, if he had not met "Li Liu", then the Shuilong Sect would definitely support Shuizheng Li Yuan, who shared the honor and disgrace, to occupy the two prominent positions of Dadu Gonghou, and then he would have obtained Duckweed, Jianhu and Li Yuan. Cai Jianxiu's support, but given the background of the Dayuan Dynasty's Chongxuan Office, in this kind of matter, they will definitely try their best to support Situ Jindang of Shuizheng in Jidu Shangci, so he still has no chance of winning.
But if Mr. Chen hadn't visited the Dragon Palace Cave, Li Liu was destined not to return to the Dragon Palace Cave, one of the many summer palaces in the past, let alone help Shen Lin recover his golden body.
Therefore, it is absolutely true that this Mr. Chen is her benefactor, Shen Lin.
Chen Pingan bowed in return and said, "Coming here uninvited will offend you."
Shen Lin smiled and said: "Only the flowers will shine."
Unlike Shuizheng Li Yuan, Shen Lin was nominally in charge of the wind and rain in the Dragon Palace Cave in those years. In fact, the Nanxun Water Palace was water without a source, and Shen Lin's golden body was a tree without roots.
In the Dayuan Yuan Dynasty, the Chongxuan Department of Yunxiao Palace set up checkpoints to intercept the water transport of Dadu, and the amount flowing into the Dragon Palace Cave was maintained at an extremely delicate water level, so that Shen Lin would not collapse due to the depletion of water transport. Although it is bad, it is difficult to use water transport to temper, stabilize the golden body, and make up for the gaps in the golden body. It is like waiting to die...waiting to die.
Therefore, Chen Pingan, who visited the Dragon Palace Cave for the first time, met Shen Lin for the first time. In addition, the Water Goddess had no intention of using a trick to hide her true appearance. Therefore, the first impression in Chen Pingan's eyes at that time was that his face was broken. Just like the glaze of celadon, there are countless tiny cracks, which are terrible to look at. This is where the golden body is broken and about to collapse. It is not an exaggeration to say that its life is hanging by a thread.
Shuizheng Li Yuan was appointed as the Marquis of Longting in Dadu, which was a promotion and the icing on the cake.
But for the Water Goddess of Nanxun Water Palace, it is a life-saving help in times of need.
After many years of living in the care of others, she was like a frustrated little daughter-in-law who finally worked hard to become a mother-in-law.
Chen Ping'an didn't take a second look at the dojo and asked, "Can I change a place to discuss matters with Duke Lingyuan?"
Shen Lin smiled but said nothing.
Mr. Chen, have you forgotten that in your... dream, the host and guest have already exchanged identities? How can I, Shen Lin, lead the way?
Chen Ping'an smiled and explained: "Lingyuan Gong just needs to visualize a familiar scene."
Sure enough, Shen Lin started to think for a moment, and the two of them were in the study room outside Fa Luo.
But Shen Lin soon discovered something strange. The objects he remembered clearly were painted, while the objects he had never paid attention to were black and white.
When Shen Lin's eyes touched those black and white objects, they turned into colorful paintings for an instant, seeming to add vitality to them all of a sudden.
Shen Lin didn't want to differentiate between host and guest, so he moved two chairs. Chen Ping'an gently pulled on his blue robe and long coat and sat upright.
Shen Lin said: "Mr. Chen, just call me by my first name."
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then just call Mr. Lingyuan Mrs. Shen."
I heard that it was about the stick of incense. Of course Shen Lin knew about it. The most important thing is that as a person who offers incense, he must have the so-called sincerity and integrity, and he cannot fake it in the slightest.
Otherwise, this stick of fragrant incense is easy to ignite, but the inner fragrance that maintains the incense is destined to be unable to be ignited.
It's just that on Shen Lin's side, there is no problem. It is true that he hates the Tongyezhou monk, but since Mr. Chen's sect is all established in Tongyezhou, why is it difficult to be sincere?
Think of it as a way to thank your benefactor from afar.
As for the merit, Shen Lin declined at first, but when he saw Mr. Chen persisted, he became angry. Chen Pingan continued to reason, and Shen Lin became emotional, with a sad face. When Chen Pingan continued to formulate words, Shen Lin became angry. His eyes were red and there were faint tears, and he said, Mr. Chen, did you deliberately put me in an unkind and unjust place, or did Mr. Chen feel that I, Shen Lin, was an ungrateful and unkind person from the beginning to the end? Chen Pingan He had no choice but to retract his words and apologize to Mrs. Shen. As a result, Shen Lin suddenly laughed and started to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb.
Chen Pingan took out a copy of the manuscript from his sleeve, handed it to Shen Lin, and explained: "It can barely be considered as a congratulatory gift to congratulate Mrs. Shen on becoming Lord Lingyuan, but I must have selfish motives."
Shen Lin found the booklet, opened a page, and said in surprise: "Is it the golden rule of the water and land dojo?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "I met a Master Dedao in Tongyezhou before and asked for some knowledge. The Master was generous and gave me some advice. Mrs. Shen can give it to Sect Master Sun in the name of Lingyuan Water Mansion."
What Shen Lin calls "the golden rule" is the foundation of Taoist rituals. It is a veritable golden rule and "old rules" that cannot be bought with money from gods.
The rites of Taoist altar opening rituals are generally divided into yang rituals such as praying for blessings and warding off misfortunes, eliminating disasters, rewarding gods and giving thanks, and ceremonial rituals for recommending ancestors, prescriptions for saving the dead, and refining and giving food. Yinshi rituals. Among them, the manuscripts are the most precious. As the saying goes, things are explained according to the manuscripts. For example, the emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty in Tongyezhou, who worshiped Buddhism, worked hard on the manuscripts and tried to restore the old system.
Previously, Chen Ping'an was walking by the Chilin River with Liang Shuang, the Great Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain. They were busy chatting. In addition to asking the old master about the unique rituals of Longhu Mountain, he also talked about the fasting ceremony of Shuilong Sect. For one thing, on the tenth day of October and the fifteenth day of October every year, two sacrificial ceremonies following ancient rituals are held in the Dragon Palace Cave. According to different years, there are gold urn, jade urn, and yellow urn dojos.
That's why the real person can't help but joke, "You guys are just gathering wool here."
Shen Lin hesitated for a moment and asked: "Why doesn't Mr. Chen give this to Marquis Longting and ask him to help deliver it to Sun Jie or Shao Jingzhi?"
This is a huge favor.
The sect on the mountain attaches great importance to the benefits of this kind of trickle and long flow of water.
When it comes to personal friendship, Mr. Chen is of course better with Li Yuan. Before today, how many words had Mr. Chen and myself exchanged? It was only a handful.
Shen Lin didn't doubt that Chen Ping'an had any intentions towards his Lingyuan Water Mansion or himself.
Mr. Chen, the moon is clear and the breeze is clear, the gentleman is magnanimous, so bright and clear.
Chen Ping'an explained with a smile: "Li Yuan can't hide his words. Once he's drunk, he's easy to talk to others and will speak out his true words. In the past, it might not have mattered, but now he's the Marquis of Longting. You still have to be careful. Li Yuan The threshold for making friends is high, and I can only count a few. If I take out this document at once, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings in the Water Dragon Sect. If it were me, I would also suspect that Li Yuan was the water dragon sect in the early years. In the long years of Zheng, we clearly have this ritual book, but why haven't we brought it out? This is human nature, no wonder Sect Master Sun and the others think too much about it."
Shen Lin nodded. Mr. Chen's move was indeed mature and prudent.
Chen Pingan continued: "But on Mrs. Shen's side, there is no need to be so restrained. There are many strange people and strangers in the Lingyuan Palace now. It can be explained that someone obtained something from an old collection somewhere, and then it was stolen by Mrs. Shen. The wise eye recognizes the pearl, so it is only now that it has seen the light of day again. It is presented to the Shuilong Sect. Naturally, this is the meaning of the title. It also counts as a good beginning and a good end, and a new relationship has been formed and a good beginning."
Shen Lin pursed his lips and smiled, overjoyed. He managed not to laugh out loud, and said softly: "There is another reason. If I get this precious and unusual Taoist ritual book, given Shen Lin's situation back then, unless I don't want to live, Only then can we hide it."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's inappropriate for me, a guest, to tell such a big truth."
Shen Lin smiled like a flower.
I recall that when we first met, the young man was holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, his eyes bright, like lights in the rain.
Chen Pingan said: "Helping others is helping yourself."
Shen Lin nodded. Shen Lin was certainly aware of Mr. Chen's so-called selfish motives earlier, because Li Yuan would help this "brother who worships" with something every year.
Chen Pingan bought the Fushui Island in Longgong Cave at a very low price.
Now reciprocating a favor with a favor, isn't it a kind of good beginning and good ending?
Chen Ping'an was about to stand up and say goodbye.
Shen Lin suddenly said: "Winning the crowd will move the heavens, and the good will will prolong your life."
Chen Ping'an smiled knowingly, stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Then I'll borrow Mrs. Shen's good advice."
These are the words of my husband, the words of the sages that were engraved in black and white and recited and annotated by countless scholars.
It is most appropriate for Mrs. Shen to say this now.
Shen Lin stood up and persuaded Mr. Chen to stay and said: "Mr. Chen, why are you coming and going in such a hurry? You should not miss this moment? At least let me lead the way and ask Mr. Chen to visit the old site of Nanxun Water Palace?"
Chen Ping'an could only tell the truth: "Traveling far away in a dream, wading through a long river of time, requires a certain amount of merit."
Shen Lin looked puzzled and said: "It's just a few steps, I think it's a lot of losses. What's more, on my side, did Mr. Chen consume any merit? Could it be that Mr. Chen was sure from the beginning that I would not accept the merit?"
Chen Pingan felt helpless and could only say a polite word, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey orders."
Mrs. Shen and Zhu Quan, the leader of Pima Sect, seem to have completely different personalities, but they are equally powerful.
Of course, what gave Chen Ping'an the biggest headache was a certain female swordsman from Ai Aizhou.
After that, Chen Ping'an followed Shen Lin, and the two of them walked in the water mansion where the truth and truth are unpredictable and the truth and truth can easily be confused.
The shoulder distance between the two sides is just enough to accommodate one person.
Shen Lin found it interesting. She had heard some news from the mountain before, saying that during the years when he was the "second shopkeeper", Ning Yao often locked him out of the house because of drinking and spent the night to deal with him. ?And he doesn’t have any temper at all?
Is that Ning Jianxian really that powerful?
No wonder she can become the number one person in the colorful world. It's not without reason.
According to the landscape etiquette established by the Confucian Temple, the "Gonghou's House" in Dadu of the Five Mountains can use green glazed tiles.
Compared with Li Yuan's Longting Marquis Mansion, the two occupies roughly the same size, but this one is slightly more primitive. Civil construction is still in progress. Back then, the Shuilong Sect lent money to Li Yuan first and paid for it. Of course, Li Yuan was not polite at all when he offered a large sum of immortal money to help build the Hou Mansion.
Moreover, the Shuilong Sect privately received private instructions from Shen Lin to consider Marquis Longting first. As for his own side, he did not need the Shuilongzong to take care of him. However, in the end, the Shuilongzong breathed a sigh of relief and still invested in this side. There is a lot of manpower and material resources, but there is not much money. There is still no shortage of genealogy monks who can support themselves.
Fortunately, the old Nanxunshui Hall has been moved out of the Dragon Palace Cave and can be used as the hub of various departments. The large and small buildings have been opened as government offices for various departments.
The residence of Duke Dadu is no different from a small imperial court, with numerous government offices. According to the ritual system stipulated by the Confucian Temple, there are generally sixteen departments. If the number increases or decreases slightly, it is not a big problem.
Although the official ranks of Duke Lingyuan and Marquis Longting are equivalent in the gold and jade genealogy of the Confucian Temple, there are still some differences. For example, Shen Lin can build two du temples and has two Shuizheng in charge of incense. Li Yuan only has one quota. In addition, the number of Jiangshui Zhengshen under his jurisdiction is 20% more in Lingyuan Palace than in Longtinghou Palace. As for Hebo and Hepo, there is no fixed number. It only depends on the number of tributaries. Depends.
When Shen Lin walked near the Incense Department, he asked softly: "Mr. Chen, do you have any suggestions for candidates for the two temples?"
Chen Pingan shook his head, "I traveled to Beiju Luzhou twice before, and I didn't have many interactions with the gods of the mountains and rivers along the way."
Nowadays, many landscape gods along the road were once under the jurisdiction of the imperial courts of various countries, but now they have two immediate superiors out of thin air.
However, compared to Li Yuan who went to the post alone, Shen Lin not only took away the goddesses of Nanxun Water Temple, but also brought a group of narcissus ghosts from the Dragon Palace Cave. It can be regarded as one person who achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. In addition, Shen Lin also won over There is a considerable group of people, including monks in the middle and fifth realms, as well as water-born spirits who have taken the initiative to defect. Just like the nun next to you who is in charge of the etiquette department, is the best example.
Nowadays, there are a total of eighteen government offices in the Lingyuan Shuifu Prefecture, which are well organized and each performs their duties.
When it comes to business management, several Li Yuans put together may not be able to compare to one Shen Lin.
After all, Li Yuan was used to being a loner, the type who would never sit down and doze off when he could lie down and enjoy the blessings. And Shen Lin was famous for being a good housekeeper. In the past, there was only one Nanxun Water Palace in the Dragon Palace Cave. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Today is different from the past. Every time she goes out to inspect the territory under her jurisdiction, she has strict ceremonial guards and is extremely powerful.
When he walked to the door of the Qing Gong Department, Shen Lin looked a little shy.
A group of female officials in the room were confirming a list again.
It turns out that every river god in the world has a day of enlightenment every year, which is similar to the birthday of Shanxia Yazi.
It's just that ordinary landscape gods, those with low moral standards, don't care about this, and won't organize it in a big way. At most, there will be more human incense in their respective temples. Otherwise, if it is done once a year, who can bear it? Among the neighbors in the officialdom of Shanshui, Just like the people at the foot of the mountain, when making money, they all have to pay attention to reciprocity, so there is an unwritten rule that has been agreed upon, which is usually dealt with immediately, or simply ignored.
But for a Dadu Duke like Shen Lin, who had only been in office for a few years, she had no choice but to be simple.
And Shen Lin's enlightenment day happens to be this month, so the female official leader of the Qing Dynasty Division next to her has been extremely busy at the end of every year in recent years. Not to mention entertaining guests, she only collects and counts various gifts, or... The tribute is a truly huge project, involving the imperial courts of various countries, the powerful families, the sects and sects on the mountain, the immortal mansions, the river gods, the land of the mountain gods, and the city god temples in the prefectures and counties...
The few pots of sky-high-priced orchids from the Lanfang Kingdom, the carefully brewed falcons from the Jinfei Kingdom, the several koi from the Jinlin Palace, and the ones from Chunlu Garden and the Great Seal Dynasty...
Which gifts need to be repaid in the future, and what kind of gifts, and which ones need to be recorded in a book and then classified into categories, each filed in the same place as the previous gifts, all need to be finalized one by one by the Provisions Department and further discussed with the Ceremony Department. Negotiate without making any mistakes.
Chen Ping'an visited Luzhou in Beiju for the first time. After leaving the Skeleton Beach, he walked through Lanfang Country and Jinfei Country, and finally arrived at Chunlu Pond, where he accidentally met our Liu Da Jiuxian.
I remember that Lanfang Country was prosperous in commerce, so women who married merchants would often throw money into the water to ask for good or bad luck. And the sound of releasing animals was popular in the government and the public. Whenever there was a drought or flood, they would like to use the Paper Dragon King to vent their anger.
In the area north of Chunlu Pu, there are more than ten countries including the Great Seal Dynasty. Since ancient times, they have worshiped martial arts, their folk customs are fierce, and warriors are rampant. Most of them have the Great Seal Dynasty as their suzerain country. Their martial arts are prosperous, and they often summon friends, hundreds of warriors, and surround them. The scene of beating up a sect on a mountain happens from time to time. It is probably the only one in the whole world. Poor Jinlin Palace, the Nascent Soul old god is miserable. Every time his disciples travel down the mountain, they are beaten and beaten. Sacks are really no joke.
Shanshanquan, Senior Gu You. He was once an old manager of a villa under the pseudonym Qiu Fengjia.
In the end, he and Ji Yue, the sword fairy of Yuanwei Mountain, exchanged fists and swords.
I heard that the personal retainer of the Emperor Zhou in Dazhuan was a female martial artist who used a sword.
Originally, she was considered to have reached a dead end when she entered the Far Traveling Realm, but unexpectedly, she reached the Mountain Top Realm.
In the government office of the Construction Department, there was a young minister of the Ministry of Industry from the Green Wing Kingdom. He was discussing matters with relevant officials. When he heard that Duke Lingyuan had just returned from a visit to the government, he announced that he was closed to the public, and the young minister was a little agitated. It's a pity that I originally thought it would be nice to meet her once, but I didn't dare to expect more.
As the entrance of Jidu to the sea, the Green Eagle Kingdom has taken the initiative to do things in recent years. Without even saying hello to the Lingyuan government, it started to build a building for Shen Lin to use as a station for patrolling the river. Within a few years, The Green Eagle Kingdom not only emptied the national treasury of gold and silver, but also borrowed external debts, which is probably an astronomical figure. Of course Shen Lin does not want the Green Eagle Kingdom to spend such money.
It's just that the Luying Kingdom itself didn't complain about being poor. It kept claiming that the treasury was in surplus, so there was no problem. When several female officials from the Construction Department came to the Luying Kingdom in person, with a decree from Duke Lingyuan, all expenses were still reimbursed to the Shuifu Mansion. Low price, this kind of slanderous behavior made Shen Lin dumbfounded, and he had to issue a sternly worded secret order again, not giving the Green Eagle Kingdom any chance to argue, and the follow-up project, which was just over halfway, must be completely handed over to Shui Shui. The Department of Government Construction takes over, otherwise it will be so abandoned. Whoever wants to move in in the future is up to you, the Green Eagle Kingdom.
At the Etiquette Department, the officials were in a bit of a dilemma.
Because Liu Lizhi, the old nun in charge, had just left the Shuifu Mansion, Lingyuan Gong closed the door again to thank the guests. However, at noon today, two distinguished guests would come to the door soon.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "These exchanges of favors are really tiring."
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I have a deep understanding."
Shen Lin asked: "Does Mr. Chen have any tips for dealing with this kind of thing?"
Luolu Mountain has an excellent reputation on the mountain south of Beiju Luzhou.
Chen Ping'an put his hands in his sleeves, shook his head and smiled: "I can only tell myself one thing, it doesn't matter whether you are getting rid of your worries or not getting rid of your problems, it doesn't matter if you are getting rid of your problems or not getting rid of your worries, you have to do one of these things, don't just get rid of your worries and not get rid of your worries."
After a moment of silence, Chen Pingan held back his laughter and said, "Actually, there are shortcuts. As long as you find a competent housekeeper, you can be your own boss without worries."
Shen Lin shook his head, "I can't learn."
There has been an endless stream of guests to Lingyuan Gongshui Mansion in recent years, and there is a lot of traffic outside the door all year round. However, in a few years, the situation will probably get better.
After walking around various government offices, Chen Ping'an stopped and said to Shen Lin: "Mr. Chen will definitely come here as a guest next time he travels to Luzhou, Beiju. No matter what he has to do or not."
Chen Pingan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Definitely."
Shen Lin said coldly: "Mr. Chen, I have a need to help you!"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "No problem, I can send a letter to sir."
In fact, Chen Pingan had already guessed that it was because of the name given on the plaque, so Shen Lin really found the right person.
Not to mention one plaque, even ten plaques. With my husband's knowledge, he can help Lingyuan Gongshui Mansion.
But Shen Lin looked embarrassed and said: "How dare I bother Master Wen Sheng? Can Mr. Chen do it himself?"
Chen Ping'an burst into laughter. Mrs. Shen, you really think about it. How can you be so careless about such a big thing? He quickly waved his hand and said: "Names are really not my specialty."
Shen Lin had a playful look on his face, stroked his temples, and smiled softly: "That's not what Chen Lingjun said back then."
Chen Pingan shook his head.
Shen Lin took a deep breath, and had no choice but to use his trump card, and said bravely: "Maybe Mr. Chen doesn't know it yet, but I have actually been the abbot of the Jin and Jade Dojo in the Dragon Palace Cave Sky behind the scenes."
If it was not a last resort, how could Shen Lin take the initiative to say such a thing? She really hoped that Mr. Chen could leave a calligraphy treasure, so she had to take this step.
Chen Pingan looked calm and was silent for a moment. When Shen Lin was about to change his words, Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Then it's embarrassing."
Returned to Shen Lin's study.
Chen Pingan shook his wrist, and a bucket pen appeared out of thin air in his hand. He poked it lightly. The bucket pen in his hand seemed to be dipped in thick ink, but the ink was golden.
In calligraphy, large regular script is far more difficult than small regular script. So it is even more difficult to write a good calligraphy.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Pingan said: "If you don't use this name, Mrs. Shen doesn't have to bear any burden, just treat it as a small note of correspondence."
Mrs. Shen felt relieved and nodded: "Of course it's no problem."
Chen Pingan held the pen in his left hand, put the two fingers of his right hand together, and with a slight stroke, a piece of half-cooked snow-white rice paper was spread out in front of him.
Finally, I wrote three words: Deyou Palace.
Taken from the phrase "Germans travel around the world".
A virtuous person travels in the sky, and the autumn moon is cold on the river. The sun and the moon study, and the traveler misses his hometown.
It also means that the water of Dadu flows continuously, and only the merits are stable, like a lotus growing out of cement, which can be a place of peace of mind.
Shen Lin concentrated his attention and looked at the strokes on the paper.
The words are like a dragon rising out of the sea, with majestic momentum.
Chen Pingan put away his pen, shook his sleeves, and said goodbye with his hands clasped in fists.
Shen Lin was speechless. When Chen Pingan left quietly, Lord Lingyuan also forgot to say goodbye.
After a long time to regain consciousness, Shen Lin felt as if he had found a treasure, only to find that there was no figure in Qingshan in the study. Shen Lin bowed and saluted, and then carefully put away the calligraphy.
The next moment, Shen Lin returned to the dojo.
In that bright and upright room.
Shen Lin stood in the void, just like a hibiscus in the distant mountains, standing gracefully.
Tomorrow is the beginning of spring.
But today, Shen Lin felt like he was bathed in the spring breeze.
————
Cangjun Lake in Yinping Kingdom is not far from Nasuijia City and governs one lake, three rivers and two canals.
Yinhou, the Lord of the Lake, who is wearing a bright purple robe, has restrained himself a lot in recent years. Although the Confucian Temple issued the gold and jade pedigree of the gods of mountains and rivers before, Cangjun Lake did not rise, but Yinhou can be regarded as looking away, and it is not enough. It's more than enough. When you are unhappy, just think about Huangyue City and Baodong Wonderland, and you will feel relieved.
The mountains made of iron and the immortals of flowing water.
The dragon that crossed the river back then was a guy who called himself Chen Haoren. He was a deep and ruthless man.
At that time, beside the young swordsman, there was Du Yu, a military monk from Ghost Ax Palace who seemed to be a follower he met by chance in the world.
Cangjun Lake has hit an iron plate. At this moment, Yin Hou would feel a little bit of "toe pain".
Otherwise, if Yin Hougui is a great lake water lord, there is no need for him to take the initiative to drink with the small fire temple in Suijia City every now and then.
Just like a Liubu Langguan from the Qingliu family in the capital, does he need to be brothers to a local county magistrate?
After Yin Hou practiced today, he planned to go out to relax, but he stumbled and stumbled into... the secret landscape of the monks on the top of the mountain?
Finally, when he looked closely, he saw an acquaintance with a smiling face. Marquis Yin immediately saluted and said, "Marquis Yin pays homage to Chen Jianxian."
With just a few words from Chen Jianxian, Lake Lord Yinhou said categorically: "Whatever Jianxian says, Cangjun Lake Dragon Palace will do it!"
It’s the same old saying from back then, unchanged.
Ordinary words, two minds.
Last time, I was forced by the situation, like a knife on my neck, I had to give in.
Both sides battled wits, courage, and swordsmanship, but both lost to this wealthy and ruthless foreign swordsman.
Cangyun Lake is in a miserable state, especially since those few confidants were all lost on their own territory. As a result, Cangyun Lake has changed from a bustling city to a clean place with few people.
Among the mountain immortals from more than ten countries around Cangjun Lake, who dares to come here to drink again? How many more lives are there than the average person?
He agreed so readily, but when he saw that the sword fairy in blue showed no sign of leaving, Yin Hou complained in his heart. With our friendship, we wouldn't sit down and exchange cups, right?
Could it be that he did something wrong and this extremely difficult guy came to settle accounts again? For example, it was the visit of Du Yu last time? The problem is that Yin Hou thinks that he is very benevolent and can't really help Du Yu.
, I am not the direct descendant of that great sect, nor am I a wild cultivator from Shanze. If I provoke the Qionglin Sect, where can I go? You, the Sword Immortal, if you raise an army to investigate because of this matter today, then I, Marquis Yin, can
Just... stick out your neck and do whatever you want. Anyway, as long as you don't beat me to death, I will go to Yufu Academy to complain and seek justice!
Chen Ping'an was like "dragging" a lake king, walking side by side in the familiar Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake, and then soon came to the surface of the water, crossing the waves to go to the once dilapidated Narcissus Temple.
As for that stick of incense,
Many times, that kind of heartfelt fear will also bring sincerity.
Chen Pingan asked casually with a smile: "Now there must be a lot of new faces in Lake Lord's Dragon Palace Assistant Officer?"
Yin Hou carefully chewed the aftertaste of these words.
Is the other party rubbing salt into the wound?
cant.
It was a great honor for me to be able to exchange a few words with Chen Jianxian.
A passer-by who is willing to bear the catastrophe of Suijia City, and a guy who goes on a killing spree in Cangjun Lake, like a god sitting on a high chair. What a terrifying...monster.
For the sake of caution, Marquis Yin nodded and said: "The new owner of the Zaoxi canal was a very chaste and fierce woman during her lifetime. If Chen Jianxian doesn't believe it, he only needs to change the route and see the current landscape and weather of the Zaoxi creek."
As for the other canal owner who failed more than succeeded, let's not mention it. Anyway, both myself and Chen Jianxian knew the root cause.
But it is strange to say that there were two Narcissus temples in the early years. One was like a prosperous and wealthy family, full of guests all year round, and the other was an extremely miserable dilapidated house. Even the painted statues in the temple could not withstand the money of the canal owner.
body.
On the contrary, this stupid aunt with insufficient brains is the only one among the river gods Narcissus in Cangyun Lake who got a blessing in disguise. Now she has become prosperous. The Narcissus Temple has been repaired like new, and the three stained painted statues have been repainted.
Painted with gold.
On the contrary, it was the famous Zaoxi canal manager who was the first to say no during the turmoil that year.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Of course I can trust Mr. Yin Hu."
Before going to the Dragon Palace, I had already seen the landscape of the brand-new Narcissus Temple. After changing the owner, the atmosphere was indeed completely new. It still had the plaque saying "green water flows forever". Fortunately, I tried my best to stop Du Yu.
I advise him not to be so obsessed with money that he can't get out of it, and to keep a line in his life so that we can meet each other in the future... Otherwise, the place of the plaque in the ancestral temple may have been changed by now.
Today, the algae stream is full of algae at the bottom of the stream. Each branch is several feet long and is as beautiful as a phoenix's tail. The stream is crystal clear and floats with the current, so graceful and lovely.
Although the stream next to the road below is not comparable to Zaoxi Creek, it can be regarded as a great change. The two sides are no longer the bleak scene of overgrown weeds. The road paved with cobblestones is flat and clean, which can make people feel comfortable.
The horse-drawn carriages were allowed to pass, but the canal master's temple was only a few dozen miles away from the market on the mountain road, and the incense was in a state of withering. Even the statues in the temple could not carry the divine light, and could only be placed on the side of Shuifu.
, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall every year, borrowing money to survive, everyone said that it is not difficult to borrow and borrow again. She has accumulated old debts for many years, but she can just borrow incense, which is considered her ability.
Chen Ping'an asked: "Did her Liaoyan cup come from the Dezong of the Qing Dynasty?"
Marquis Yin nodded and said, "Chen Jianxian has good taste. This object is indeed one of the ritual vessels of the Qingde Sect of the Taoist Sect in the early years."
Chen Ping'an joked: "In the end, the channel owner used it to carry the ecstasy soup and bring luck to it?"
Yin Hou suddenly looked embarrassed.
Arriving outside the Narcissus Temple, without being able to pass through the door, Chen Pingan and Yin Hou retreated to the mountains and rivers together. In an instant, the two parties came to an ancient alum-carrying road near Cangjun Lake.
Chen Ping'an was walking in the mountains and asked: "According to the geographical map records in the local county annals, this place seems to be called Daishishan. Is there a place for jumping tail nearby?"
Marquis Yin became increasingly unsure of what this guy was going to do, so he could only nod his head and say, "Chen Jianxian is not a noble person and forgets things."
Chen Ping'an took out a hiking stick in his hand, poked the ground gently, and joked: "Flattery is really not suitable for Mr. Yin Hu. Let's not make each other unhappy next time."
After climbing to the top of the mountain, Chen Ping'an looked around and could see the White Sword Waterfall in the distance, a strip of white water that looked like a sword hanging upside down.
There are mountains nearby that are rich in porcelain clay, which can be fired into porcelain, which can be shipped along the Zao River and sold to various places via waterways.
Yin Hou asked tentatively: "Has Chen Jianxian been to Suoyun Sect?"
This extremely exciting question about swordsmanship has already spread in Luzhou, Beiju.
Liu Jinglong, the young sect leader of the Taihui Sword Sect, and an unknown swordsman surnamed Chen, climbed Yangyun Peak together and demolished the ancestral hall of a sect with a profound history.
Immortal Wei Jingcui, even though he sacrificed a Benefiting Moon Mirror at the bottom of the box, still failed to take on Liu Jinglong's sword challenge, and now he is in seclusion to recuperate.
But for some unknown reason, not long after, Yang Que of the Suoyun Sect came down the mountain in person and took the initiative to conclude an alliance with the Taihui Sword Sect, claiming that he was half a vassal on the mountaintop.
Chen Ping'an laughed at himself: "Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles."
Just as Yin Hou was about to say something, he suddenly remembered Chen Jianxian's previous reminder, so he stopped talking and swallowed back those words that were indeed disgusting.
Marquis Yin asked again: "What about the Qionglin Zong Patriarch Hall?"
Later than the Suoyun Sect, there was another change in the Qionglin Sect's Patriarch Hall, but it was relatively small. The Qionglin Sect spared no effort to cover up the matter, but the Qionglin Sect was well-known on Luzhou Mountain in Beiju and had many friends.
How could there be no one in this country to "speak for justice"?
Although it is still a mystery who did it, the only thing that can be determined is that it was the sword cultivator.
For example, in Duckweed Sword Lake, a newspaper was published, using a wording that monks from other continents were bound to be stunned, but Beiju Luzhou was very accustomed to, saying that since no one admitted that they had demolished the ancestor of Qionglin Sect,
Tang, then our duckweed sword lake will have to be splashed with dirty water. Since the explanation is not clear, then there will be no explanation...
The problem is that Qionglin Sect has never provoked Duckweed Sword Lake, and it has not even suspected Li Cai. Why are you throwing dirty water? What on earth are you, the female sword fairy, trying to explain?
The reason why Yin Hou had this idea was because Du Yu was a guest in his Dragon Palace and frankly said that he had offended the Qionglin Sect.
Then, just a few days after Du Yu left Cangyun Lake, the Qionglin Sect suffered such a sudden disaster.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said, "Can this be blamed on me?"
It's none of my business what Liu Jinglong, Rong Chang and Liu Zhiqing did together.
Chen Pingan turned his head and looked towards the Zaoxi Temple.
There was once a handsome young man standing on a raised eaves with a yellowed bamboo flute tied around his waist. He Lu from Huangyue City and Yan Qing from Baodong Wonderland were the golden boy and beautiful girl on the mountain.
He Lu, Yan Qing. Songs about life while drinking wine, such as how bitter the day will be when the morning dew is gone. Haiyan Qingping. They are all good names, put together, like...a fateful prophecy?
The nine children who were then taken out of the Sword Qi Great Wall by him included the fat little Cheng Chaolu and Na He Gu.
Since there is that "fortunately, it is safe and the sun can see the sky again, what else is wrong, only the morning dew first". There is also that "in the most peaceful world, the Dharma is like the morning dew, and its simplicity will not dissipate."
Maybe this is what is called no coincidence.
Chen Ping'an came back to his senses and said: "Cangyun Lake did not insult Du Yu before, but did what he could. Mr. Yin Hu is still very kind."
Yin Hou's smile was far-fetched, but actually it didn't sound like he was saying anything nice.
Then take it as a good word.
Marquis Yin asked in his heart: "Can I ask Chen Jianxian his real name?"
It's not a big deal that I'm always so worried.
The green-robed swordsman actually gave his name and place of origin.
"My real name is Chen Ping'an, from Lizhu Cave Heaven."
Yin Hou was shocked to the extreme in an instant. He was horrified and his heart was like a turbulent sea. He swallowed, hesitated and said vaguely: "Mr. Chen is the closed disciple of Master Wen Sheng?"
Yin Hou deliberately did not mention the more shocking identity of the sword cultivator.
Chen Pingan smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Of course."
Marquis Yin is reminding himself that you, Chen Ping'an, are an upright Confucian disciple with a Taoist background and a scholar. Young master, don't be so quick to kill and kill as it is insulting to your gentleness?
Chen Pingan held a hiking pole, turned around and asked with a smile: "Have you even heard of Lizhu Cave?"
Yin Hou nodded and said: "Of course!"
In today's vast world, who wouldn't know about the small cave sky that has long been shattered and fell to the ground?
Ma Kuxuan, Liu Xianyang, Gu Can...
These young monks all come from the Lizhu Cave, which seems to be only the size of a palm.
Among them, there is also the hidden official Chen Ping'an, who is like a man who has discovered the pearl. The rest of his peers have their own scales and claws. In short, they are all the first-class talents in the world.
Chen Ping'an's face was calm. He raised his eyes and looked south, as if his sight could span the sea and extend to the Aquarius Continent, the Great Li Dynasty, and the old Longzhou in the south.
In an instant, the figure in green shirt was no longer visible on the top of the mountain.
Yin Hou immediately returned to the Dragon Palace of Cangjun Lake, feeling like he was going through the gates of hell, and he was still frightened for the rest of his life.
Just a moment later, Yin Hou murmured in a low voice: "I once fought with him back and forth. If this spreads out, will it be repaid?"
————
At Mi Xuefeng Mansion, Huang Ting has already gone to refine his sword.
Yu Fushan just lay on the railing and continued to look at the scenery.
Suddenly, his expression was in a trance, and the smoke and water gradually dissipated, and he was still sitting in Mo Xiandu's shop.
Not surprised, Yu Fushan sneered and turned around to see the man wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat. He visited the shop again. He gently took off the bamboo hat and shook the rain outside the door. He smiled.
Said: "Fellow Taoist Master Fushan, we meet again. How is our hospitality at Xiandu Mountain?"
Yu Fushan said in a deep voice: "Master Chen Shan, you are good at Taoism!"
The guest in green shirt smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask fellow Taoist Master Fushan for something. Whether you agree or not, I won't force it."
"Since Chen Jianxian is in Xiandu Mountain, why should he act so sneakily? He can be discussed in person."
"To be honest, I am not in the mountains at the moment. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
"I don't dare, I don't dare."
"Fellow Taoist Master Fushan is going to be a master who worships the monks at Taiping Mountain. Why are you so unimpressive?"
"..."
After talking about the business, Yu Fushan was very curious, "How to do it?"
"Sincerity leads to spirituality?"
"Can it be taught? Can it be learned?"
“Easy to learn, hard to teach.”
"..."
Later, also in Mi Xuefeng, Chen Pingan found Lao Qiu, whose pseudonym was Qiu Du.
If a person who practices Taoism wants to attain Taoism, no matter whether his qualifications are good or bad, except for some very rare exceptions, he can't escape the word "diligence".
Qiu Du was breathing heavily. After opening his eyes, he quickly stood up and saluted, "I have met Master Chen."
Afterwards leaving Xiandu Mountain, Chen Ping'an went to Biyou Palace to find the empress buried in the river. She didn't seem to be there to talk about business. Instead, she had a meal of genuine fish noodles, luckily it wasn't pickled fish.
Lifting one leg and stepping on the bench, the Water Goddess rolled up a large piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew on it, and asked: "My dear, when are you going to call your senior brother Jun Qian, so that you two can be guests together."
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded: "No problem."
Liu Rou sincerely praised: "My little master is getting better and better at eating spicy food. Next time I will ask Lao Liu to add two more handfuls of dried chili peppers."
Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "I really don't need it."
"You're welcome, let alone two handfuls, how much is a basket of dried chili peppers worth?"
"It's not about money or not."
Lion Peak.
Li Liu heard Chen Ping'an's request and said with a smile: "Unconsciously, Mr. Chen has changed a lot, but this is good. It's just a stick of incense. It's not a big problem. Mr. Chen is worrying too much."
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "If this is what you are asking for, I won't come to you. It involves too much."
He came to Li Liu to ask for a token. When he went to see Mrs. Dan Dan, who was the co-owner of land and water transportation, he tried to show off his power. After all, that Lushui pit was once Li Liu's summer resort.
Li Liu joked: "Will you find that Zhigui who only knows how to act petty?"
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "Forget it for her. Among the princes in the four seas, I only look for Marquis Li Ye."
Mrs. Dandan, whose name was Qingzhong, was approached by Chen Pingan. The two parties seemed to be standing on both sides of a border. She was hesitant at first, obviously she wanted to shirk something, but she was mainly worried about the incompatibility with Li.
, eat at the Confucian Temple.
You, Chen Ping'an, have a literary saint as your teacher, but I don't. I don't have anyone to support me at the Confucian Temple, which is very bitter.
Just when Chen Ping'an took out the token given by Li Liu, Mrs. Dandan immediately let out an ouch, with a smile on her face, saying that such a trivial matter, there is no need for a hidden official to come to the humble house in person, she can just find someone to send a message to her.
ah.
The Prince of Nanhai Sea, Li Yehou, agreed without any hesitation. Anyway, it was just another business.
Merit becomes rarer as time passes. This is the consensus of a small group of mountain monks.
Chen Pingan didn't care. Mr. Yin Guan was wealthy and did not take it seriously, but Li Yehou paid great attention to it. If the Confucian Temple held him accountable afterwards, with Chen Pingan's character, he would definitely not back down even half a step. I would like to think of the kind of dead Taoist friend who will not die.
Young hidden officials cannot do the things that poor Taoists do. Besides, if there is an old scholar in the Confucian Temple, he will not be afraid of the sky falling. When it comes to quarrels, the old scholar has never lost. As for the determination and ability to protect the calf, haha, in
No one in the world seems to be competing with the old scholar.
But before Chen Ping'an left, Marquis Li Ye couldn't help but ask him a question, "Even if you are trying to mend a continent, why are you in a hurry? Wait until..."
However, after the word "wait until" was uttered, Li Yehou stopped talking.
I believe Chen Pingan knows what he wants to say.
As a result, the guy said, "Sword cultivators can do whatever they want, and there is no limit to heaven and earth."
Li Yehou shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, indicating that he would not see off the guests.
Anyway, it’s hard to say who is the guest and who is the host.
Damn swordsmanship is just... fun.
Over at the Yulong Sect, the sect leader Nalan Caihuan was in high spirits today. He found the Zhangluyun Dian and threw her a jade tablet.
The simplest Wushi card style, there is no front or back to say about it.
One side is engraved with the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and the other side is engraved with the Great World.
It's just that on the side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, in addition to the two characters "Yin Guan" in small seal script, there is also a number in small regular script.
Yunzhuan asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Nalan Caihuan smiled and said: "I have just accepted a direct disciple for you, this is his apprenticeship ceremony."
Yun Zhuan was slightly annoyed. How could there be such a childish behavior? He had never even seen the other party, but there was another direct disciple?
Nalan Caihuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, that young man has good cultivation qualifications, and... he is definitely not a pervert!"
Nalan Caihuan slumped on the chair in Yunzhuan's house, crossed her legs, and swayed, "If he is a swordsman, how can you get the chance."
Yun Zhuan was still easy to talk to. He held the jade tablet in his hand, raised his hand, and asked: "Is there anything special about it?"
Nalan Caihuan pointed at her, "You know how to practice when you practice. You have this stinky habit of not hearing what is going on outside the window. You don't even read the latest newspaper?"
Yun Zhuan said with a shy face, "I look through it occasionally because I haven't read enough."
Nalan Caihuan brought up old matters again and chatted with her manager about the inside story.
At that time, in the Chunbanzhai Assembly Hall, there were people like Baixi of the "Wapen" ferry, Dai Hao of "Taigen" in Aaizhou, Liu Shen, the owner of "Nishang" in Xianjia Island, and "Fu Zhong" of Liuxiazhou.
"Liu Yu and others, this group of fifty-four ship owners and stewards from the eight continents of Haoran, each received a small gift from the young hermit official, which is a share for those who see it.
In addition, the number on Wu Qiu's jade plaque is nine, Tang Feiqian's twelve, and Liu Shen's ninety-six.
In today's vast world, some good people have made statistics, and it seems that in the end, they did not collect the ninety-nine jade tablets, but only more than eighty, and it was definitely less than ninety anyway.
This is because the young Yinguan did not personally participate in discussions many times. In addition, the number of cross-continental ferries to Hanging Mountain was limited after all. Together with the Middle-earth Divine Continent, there were only more than 150 or 60 ships in total, and there were not many of them.
Few ferries only make a trip to Upside Down Mountain every few years or even ten years.
It is said that the young Yin Guan personally drew the symbols and carved the characters. Each jade tablet contains the sword energy of two to three sword immortals. According to Miyu at the time, it was not valuable, but it was unique.
Is it really worthless? It’s a liar.
Back then, Jiang Gaotai had taken the initiative to exchange the piece of money he had for ninety-nine.
Now it seems that Captain Jiang was really far-sighted! It's a pity that it didn't work out.
And the "one" and "ninety-nine", these two jade tablets with the most special numbers, have they ever appeared? If they did, who did they belong to? No one knows yet.
Many jade tablets were given to closed disciples by the shipowners, or handed over to a direct descendant of a family who was expected to shine. They would ask the latter to put them away, because this jade tablet, at the critical moment, was just a piece of jade tablet.
Amulets, even... life-saving charms!
As for the opening ceremony of some golden elixir earth immortals, as a gift from the sect's ancestor hall, this object occasionally appeared in the world and was later known to the outside world.
The reason for this strange situation is that the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect in Nanbosu Continent announced a piece of news to the world through the Chunru Chen family's academy newspaper.
The Dragon Elephant Sword Sect recognizes both people and brands, but it does not recognize the mountain top. The Dragon Elephant Sword Sect will consider at its discretion whether to help solve the problem and tide over a certain difficulty. If it is done, the jade will be taken back.
I can't help, I'll talk about it later.
To put it simply, these jade tablets obtained from Chunbanzhai on the upside-down mountain can be passed down from generation to generation and are "hereditary and irreplaceable". But if these tablets fall into the sect or immortal mansion, holding the jade tablets, they come to pray for the dragon.
Xiang Jianzong is doing something, I'm sorry, I left the jade card behind and left.
After that, Xie Songhua, Song Pin, Pu He, etc., these sword immortals who had been to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, also responded, as if they were interacting with the Longxiang Sword Sect, but also as if they were... grabbing business.
?
After knowing the truth, Yun Zhuan nodded and said: "No wonder it has become so valuable, it is really a life-saving charm. For monk Haoran, even if he keeps the jade plaque and does not use it, passing it down from generation to generation will be an invisible power to his enemies.
Deterrence. It’s just that this kind of jade token is not particularly necessary for you, the sect master, right?"
Nalan Caihuan rolled his eyes and said, "Are you stupid? With this jade token, if the Yulong Sect really has important matters in the future, such as if we need help, or there are some things that we should not show up for, we can go to Lu Zhi.
Otherwise, Song Pin, especially Pu He, who is very wild, ask them to help kill people."
Yunzhuan suddenly realized and sighed. Sure enough, he was just a showman, and it was right for Nalan Caihuan to become the leader of the sect.
Nalan Caihuan turned to look out the window. Spring was about to begin, but there was a heavy snowfall in the Yulong Sect.
I recall that back then, that young but high-ranking guy was sitting in the Chunbanzhai Assembly Hall, holding his chin with one hand, staring blankly at the heavy snowfall outside the door.
Damn it, looking back on it now, Nalan Caihuan actually looks a bit like a dog.
The first cross-continental ferry in history to go to Daoxuan Mountain was the "pillow water" of Nanposu Island.
The second one is from a sect named Yundu Mountain in Fuyao Island, and the ferry is named "Pitching". The third ferry is the "Tong Umbrella" from Tongye Island, which sank in a shipwreck.
On the other side of the Sword Qi Great Wall, there was once a distant memorial ceremony for this.
Even the Yizhou Sacrifice Sword in Luzhou, Beiju, was born out of this.
It's just that, the years are long, and the time is too long, if it weren't for the young hermit official, who had eaten enough to support himself, carefully read every archive book in the Hidden Han Palace, and then said it himself during the meeting.
Otherwise, even Nalan Caihuan wouldn’t know it.
Nalan Caihuan left the house in a big way.
Yunzhuan continued to practice, and she was suddenly shocked to find a strange man walking out of the clouds and mist. He was wearing a green shirt and a long coat, with a slender figure and a warm expression.
Yunzhuan stood up from the futon in a hurry and said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you break into the Yulong Sect!"
How could a great Ascension Realm monk who is not a master of Taoism and Taoism possess such unbelievable magical powers? Could it be that he is a remnant of the barbarians hidden in the vast sea?
I saw the man in green shirt carrying a sword, gently raised his hand, holding a jade plaque with the word "Yin Guan" in ancient seal script, and said with a smile: "Master of the Yunzhuan Sect, my name is Chen Pingan, I was once the Hidden Official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
"
Yun Zhuan was extremely surprised, but she still frowned and shook her head and said: "How can I prove my identity with this thing alone? Do you think that I am so easy to fool?"
Chen Ping'an said: "I once asked Shao Jianxian of Chunbanzhai to deliver a secret letter to you, so that the green hills will not have to worry about having no firewood."
He put his fingers together and wrote a secret letter out of thin air. The font size, arrangement, fine handwriting, and private seal were all exactly the same.
Yun Sian took a long breath, and it turned out that the benefactor of the Yulong Sect, who had never been masked before, was here in person!
Yunzhuan quickly saluted. If it weren't for the advice of the person in front of him, then the entire Yulong Sect's incense would have been completely cut off.
Yun Zhuan asked tentatively: "Why did the hidden official show up in this way?"
Chen Pingan apologized: "It's a long story. I will visit the Yulong Sect in the future and make amends with the leader of the Yunshuan Sect."
The Yulong Sect is a place where water transport gathers, just like the location of a spring. It is even a bit like a vassal town. Even the South Sea Lord Li Yehou cannot completely control the flow of water transport here. According to the records of the summer palace, there are some details about the origin of the Yulong Sect.
There are two speculations: either it was the place where the Rain Master once stayed in the human world, or it was the place where he fell in the battle to ascend to the sky.
Yunzhuan blushed slightly and said, "I dare not hide my identity. Now I am just the head of the Yulong Sect, and the sect leader is Nalan Caihuan."
Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "Afterwards, please ask fellow Taoist Yunzhuan to help send a message to Nalan Caihuan. I will come to congratulate her next time."
Nalan Caihuan is a person who can't afford to do anything early. But her coming to serve as the leader of the Yulong Sect is a good thing for the Yulong Sect and her.
The reputation of the Yulong Sect in the vast world is very average now, so the Confucian Temple's support for the Yulong Sect after the war was extremely limited. If the geographical location of the Yulong Sect was not too important and it occupied a geographical advantage, it would probably be incompetent.
The country is gradually going downhill. Without a strong-armed sect leader, its popularity will only wither. Of course, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. With Nalan Caihuan's temperament, it is estimated that she will not take this position of sect leader.
We will never give up until the end of time.
Once a sword cultivator reaches the immortal realm, he is different from other Qi practitioners. In addition to tirelessly refining swords, one is to temper the edge, and the other is to find more divine powers for his natal flying sword. But other than that, compared to
Compared with ordinary mountain top monks, sword cultivators often don't particularly care about opening a mansion and refining many natal items. Therefore, ordinary mountain top monks who have become immortals, especially those in the Ascension realm, often focus on opening up mansions and refining natal items.
On these two matters, there suddenly became nothing to do, but that was not the case for the sword cultivator. He could free up his hands to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, learning from the strengths and making up for the shortcomings without any delay.
However, it is not easy for Nalan Caihuan to reach the immortal realm.
After all, she is not Lu Zhi.
Yun Zhuan deliberately ignored the word "was". After hearing the young Yin Guan's explanation, he immediately agreed.
Chen Ping'an said: "Senior Yunzhuan, don't rush to agree to this matter. It's best to discuss it with Nalan Caihuan. After all, it involves the sect's water transport, which is of great importance."
Yunzhuan shook his head and said: "No, I am the Patriarch of the Yulong Sect, and I can make decisions on this kind of thing myself."
Chen Ping'an thanked him and left.
Yun Zhuan hesitated to speak, but raised his hand and then put it down. The other party had already traveled far away. Moreover, even if the young Yin Guan stayed for a while, he didn't seem to know what to say.
For some reason, she lowered her eyebrows and blushed slightly.
————
There are thousands of miles of yellow sand, and the mountain tops are exposed, almost barren of grass, and red in color.
At the foot of a mountain where running water rarely flows, a small wine shop opened a few years ago. The flag was hung very high, but the flag was crumpled and limp. There was a large wine vat inside the shop, and the wine was sold with horns.
By the count, or by the bowl, the proprietress is a plain-looking woman in a Jingchai cloth skirt who often comes to the wine shop for business. There are only a few old faces, the mountain god master, and the girl-looking river woman. The rest do not come often.
They are just some unattractive spirits, many of which are half-refined and can barely be regarded as repeat customers. Anyway, in this place where birds don't shit, the practice is quite stable. According to what the mountain god said, they can settle down here.
Regardless of their origins, they are all people with a strong Taoist heart and extraordinary perseverance. They should be cherished and protected. They all felt that the wine-selling woman was the mistress of the mountain god. At most, she could only say dirty words.
Don't dare to be careless.
Our mountain god master is also pitiful. I have heard that other mountain gods are just a land father-in-law. How can they find a land woman who is as beautiful as a flower and a virtuous housekeeper?
Even if you don’t say that the country is beautiful and fragrant, you still have to look at youth.
The wine seller likes to read, but she is the same person as the mountain god who likes to recite poems and compose poems.
And the poor mountain god here patrols a volcano crater twice every morning and evening. This is actually not a rule set by the Confucian Temple. It’s just that this mountain god feels that he has a great responsibility from heaven and must shoulder the burden himself, so even if he does it every day
The next time I went to the volcano crater to wander around, I would often go to the liquor store and have a drink to calm down.
Nowadays, the wine shop business is somewhat better. No matter how poor he is, he is still a half-baked Qigong practitioner.
But the drinks here don't cost any fairy money or a few taels of silver, but the three wine tables are still never full.
I never wipe the oil stains on the table. I can only do business by drinking.
Even the mountain god who came here to sit here for a while only mistook Yang Zhi for a water-born monk who had successfully refined his form. He was probably in the cave realm.
As for those dirty rumors, the mountain god was so angry that he jumped up and down, bah!
Master, am I so unscrupulous?!
The sun is scorching, and at the turn of winter and spring, the heat is still rising like a steamer. The guests at the table inside the shop are all weird, sweating, shirtless, drinking, bare-chested, and doing fistfights.
It didn't matter, she was just reading her book. She suddenly raised her head and closed the book gently. The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled and said, "What a rare visitor."
The woman picked up an old and yellowed cattail leaf fan on the table, gently fanned the breeze, and her hair on her temples fluttered gently, "Come in, but if you want to drink, you still have to spend money."
From a distance, a man in green clothes wearing a bamboo hat came slowly, holding a green bamboo stick. He took off the hat, put it gently on the table, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, a bowl of wine."
Holding a cattail leaf fan in hand, Yang Zhi actually stood up and went to bring Chen Pingan a bowl of wine and put it on the table. However, except for the two of them, all the other customers in the wine shop seemed to be stuck in a stagnant river of time.
.
Chen Ping'an didn't have any doubts, picked up the white bowl and took a sip of wine.
Liu Cha was forced to stay in Haoran Tianxia by Chen Chunan.
In comparison, Yang Zhi was even more aggrieved. Liu Qi, who was first returned to Haoran from the land of poetry and bliss in the Qingming world, used spells against spells to completely crush Yang Zhi, who was on the sea on the battlefield.
Later, when Yang Zhi saw that he was unable to defeat him, he had no choice but to flee.
However, a deputy leader of the Confucian Temple came to wait for him and detained him in a volcano group that was rumored to have been the Taoist alchemy furnace.
This is the land beneath Chen Ping'an's feet.
He sat down across the wine table and gently shook his cattail leaf fan.
There are quite a lot of grievances between the two sides, both public and private. Back then, on the battlefield, Yang Zhi once broke off the head of a great swordsman named Yue with his own hands in full view of the public. The latter traveled south to the wilderness and hid his identity for many years.
, this swordsman drew his sword decisively in the hinterland of the wild world and wandered around, disrupting two important supply lines. The group of monks from the upper five realms of the demon clan who were responsible for maintaining the stability of the routes were so exhausted that they even went to Jiazi Zhang.
, had to let the two great demons of the old throne, Huang Luan and Yang Zhi, chase this person in person. On the battlefield, the Summer Palace strictly ordered the sword cultivator not to rescue, and this incident may be just because of the young hermit official and the Summer Palace,
It was done "too audaciously" and too cold-blooded,
Not only has Ascension City been talked about so far, many sword cultivators have also complained. Even the nine sword immortal embryos that Chen Pingan brought out of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, two of them, have always been difficult to care about because of this matter. The last two children
, he recognized his master with Yu Yue, erased his name from the genealogy of the Jise Peak Ancestral Master Hall, and chose to follow the old Liuxiazhou swordsman to leave Luopo Mountain.
In addition, there is Jiashen Zhang Sword Cultivator Tan, who is regarded as a half-closed disciple of the old master of Yiluohe, and is highly regarded by her.
What's more, the entire Nantang Lake in Aquarius Island seemed to have been drunk by Yangzhi, resulting in the height of the lake after the war being less than 10% of what it was back then.
Chen Pingan asked: "Is it a fine wine from the Jiuquan Sect?"
This kind of loss-making business cannot be done by ordinary people.
Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Can you drink all this?"
In fact, the wine was seriously watered down, and the spiritual energy was so thin that it was almost non-existent. In fact, it could no longer be called a fairy wine from the mountains. First of all, there was not much wine stored in the things that were close to me, so a pot was consumed less than a pot.
Yangzhi also doesn't want those customers to have the aftertaste of drinking, and then the wine shop will not be able to open.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't forget that I am a winemaker myself."
Yangzhi said in confusion: "You are drinking in a dream, how can you taste it?"
Chen Pingan smiled and did not give an answer.
Before going to Yiluo River and Wuding River, I passed by Jiuquan Sect and stopped there for a drink.
It is said that both Yang Zhi and Qie Yun took good care of the Jiuquan Sect, which allowed a sect that was not good at fighting to remain standing in the wild world for a long time.
Seeing that Chen Ping'an didn't speak, Yang Zhi didn't bother to ask, so he just regarded it as a strange skill on the mountain.
Yang Zhi and Fei Fei, the two great demons of the old throne, once shared 80% of the water transport in the wild world, just because neither could win against the other. To put it more accurately, it was simply that neither could eat the other, which made both of them unable to become
The common master of water transport in the world naturally cannot be ranked among the Fourteenth Realm by virtue of this. However, in addition to this great battle on the surface, there is actually a more hidden and dangerous fight. It is not only a fight for water transport, but also a battle between water and fire.
,
Because Feifei's Dao roots are extremely special, and Feifei is a rising star, in fact, she is a junior who is admired.
The solution given by Wenhai Zhoumei couldn't be simpler: help both parties find a larger piece of land and get what they need.
This is the only reason why they are willing to follow the Tuoyue Mountain Ancestor wholeheartedly and rush to the vast world.
Yang Zhi smiled and said: "I have now figured it out. The so-called cultivation is a very boring thing."
Due to God's will, she was stopped and left here, but Fei Fei successfully returned to the wild world, only to be snatched away by the green-shirted man in front of her, half of the water transport in the river.
Presumably Fei Fei's promotion to the Fourteenth Realm has become a distant and illusory matter.
Yangzhi doesn't take pleasure in others' misfortunes, but feels sympathy for them.
Chen Ping'an held the wine bowl and asked: "Is it because you think it's destiny? Just rely on yourself and work hard in vain?"
Yang Zhi twitched the corners of his lips, "Probably."
Chen Ping'an glanced at the book that had been lying on the table before, and asked with a smile: "Can I borrow a book or two?"
Yang Zhi was playful: "This is a banned book, isn't it a taboo?"
Chen Pingan waved and took the book, which was the "New Book" written by Haoran Jia Sheng in the past. "There is nothing to be taboo about. Leaving aside the enemy and our camps, many of his knowledge are not only recognized by my husband, but I also think it is very reasonable."
."
In fact, many Haoran monks felt sorry for the former Haoran Jia Sheng, and even openly fought against him. However, when the war came, there was no sound.
Finding that the book had many dog-eared pages, Chen Pingan turned to one of the pages and glanced at the content. It was the story of the two-headed snake and a conversation.
"I saw a two-headed snake on the road today, and I'm afraid it will never die." "Don't worry, you will kill this thing. Heaven will reward you with good fortune for those who are virtuous."
So in the eyes of "Haoran Jia Sheng" in the past, what is a two-headed snake?
In the eyes of the later "wild and careful" people, what did they see as the two-headed snake blocking the way of the world?
Yang Zhi smiled and asked: "For example?"
Chen Ping'an said: "For example, offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods is disrespectful, dishonest and disrespectful. Another example is the sentence 'Rites are forbidden before what is going to happen, and the law is forbidden after what has happened', and another example is the sentence 'Let the people do good deeds and stay away from sins.
"You know yourself," and there is another saying, "Change the customs and change the customs, so that the world will change its mind and follow the Tao."
He looked up with a strange look in his eyes.
It really is?
I thought that this young hermit official just said something perfunctory.
Yang Zhi put down the cattail leaf fan and went to pour himself a bowl of wine, "I thought you would be most fond of the saying, 'You are an innocent child, and you will be taught to practice it'."
Yang Zhi raised the wine bowl towards the other party, but the other party was indifferent. Yang Zhi smiled and raised his head to drink. He finished the drink in one gulp. After putting down the wine bowl, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"
When Chen Ping'an finished speaking, Yang Zhi sneered and said: "This is nothing. Not to mention if I light a stick of heart incense, can that water-borne essence incense leave this place and eventually flow all the way to Tongye Continent? I
Even if we agree, what’s the point of using this little water transportation benefit to mend such a big hole?”
"That's not something you need to think about."
"Chen Pingan, have you forgotten something?"
"How to say?"
"Since it is a transaction, what benefits should I get?"
“I’ll still be able to sell wine while still alive.”
"Lord Yin Guan, do you like telling jokes so much?"
"I know you know I'm not kidding."
Yang Zhi covered his mouth and smiled, then stretched out, "We've broken down the conversation, right?"
Chen Pingan glanced at Yang Zhi. Her ink-colored dragon robe of Immortal Soldier rank was made using Jincuicheng's unique secret technique of weaving and refining the robe.
Nowadays, the reason why the female nuns in Caique Mansion turn everyone into weavers and work day and night is largely due to the fact that Chen Pingan asked Mi Yu to send a robe from Jin Cuicheng as a sample and completely dismantled it.
After solving the problem, Caique Mansion's robe-making skills have reached a new level. The Great Li Dynasty alone has ordered more than a thousand robes from Caique Mansion.
It is known as one of the top ten robes in the world, in addition to the feather robe worn by the second son of the White Jade Jingdao, Zhao Tianlai, the great master of Longhu Mountain, Yao Qing, the chief minister of the Qingshen Dynasty, and the talisman Yuxuan.
The "Purple Qi" of Taoist robes are all included in this list. Therefore, there is another saying that "Taoist sects account for half of the best robes in the world".
Chen Ping'an finally said with a smile: "If you don't nod, what can I, a sword cultivator who is not even at the Jade Pu Realm, do?"
At worst, next time I travel to the Divine Continent of Middle-earth, I can bring Xiaomo here to have a drink with me.
Yang Zhi sneered and said, "That's nice to say!"
This time it was Chen Pingan's turn to be surprised.
Yangzhi gritted his teeth and said, "I can detect the aura of greatness in you even from hundreds of miles away!"
Bai Ze must have returned to the wild world!
As for that guy, why he woke up from the bright moon and ended up with the last hidden official of the Great Sword Qi Wall, God knows.
Seeing that Chen Pingan was showing signs of leaving, as expected, the wine shop returned to normal in an instant. The mountain god continued to speak the unfinished words before, touching the scene and shaking the wine bowl, "The crows crushed the sunset sky, the cold
The flower is thin and pitiful."
The girl at the same table, He Po, took a sip of wine and sighed: "The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest, and bad luck only seeks out the poor. It is true that the strong have the best luck, and the poor are even more miserable."
The mountain god couldn't help but act like an elder, bent his fingers, tapped the wine table gently, and reminded: "You are still young, don't always say depressing words pretending to see through the world of mortals."
But almost at the same time, both parties discovered that at some point, there was a man in a green shirt on the table next to the wine shop. The old mountain god and the little river woman looked at each other for a moment. Could it be that he was a land god?
Yang Zhi asked in his heart: "Chen Ping'an, do you want to make another refreshing deal?"
Chen Ping'an is a little strange, wait for the next chapter.
Yang Zhi said: "Please help me reserve a part of the Yiluo River water transport. If possible, you can help me talk to the Confucian Temple and see if you can allow me to be like the Tao Pavilion and the Xiao Mo beside you.
The world of Haoran is free. Of course I can swear that no matter the outcome of the battle in the wild world, I am willing to learn from Bai Ze and stay in the world of Haoran for at least a thousand years. If you agree to these two things, I will teach you a way
Magic. To me, it is useless, but to you, it can solve your urgent needs."
"Taking a step back, even if you can't practice this method, the Fire Dragon Master lying on the Earth Peak may be an opportunity for the great road. With this, another village will be brightened. I know that you have a very good relationship with him."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "You want me to be a guarantor?"
Yangzhi asked: "How?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "It's not very good, let's talk about it next time."
Standing up, Chen Pingan picked up the bamboo hat again and asked, "Why did you give yourself such a pseudonym?"
Look up and stop.
The high mountains stand still?
Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment, then raised her finger to the sky.
Chen Pingan became more and more confused. He followed his gaze and glanced at the scorching sun in the sky.
Glancing at Yang Zhi again, she looked a little dazed, not like she was just looking for a cover.
Yang Zhi sighed, just remembering something that made her need to stabilize her Taoist heart.
In ancient times, there was one of the highest beings, who sat in the sky and flickered among the stars, cooking the four seas and refining the five mountains. He was the towering fire virtue, and all the gods looked up to him.
At the beginning of his practice, Yang Zhi was far from attaining Taoism and becoming an Earth Immortal. However, he had witnessed a brutal fight with his own eyes. The so-called Earth Immortals were as cheap as ants.
She was very lucky to be affected by the disaster, and stood there dumbly among the corpses on the battlefield.
That being left the throne, finally came to the little girl, bent down, stretched out his hand to hold the girl's head, and looked into her eyes.
Finally, I said, the little reptile is a bit ugly.
Chen Pingan withdrew his gaze, put on his bamboo hat, and continued his journey.
