It has the meaning of the beginning of all things and the rebirth of all things.
It is both the beginning of the four seasons and the first year of the year.
By the time Chen Ping'an returned from the solar term courtyard at the top of Suishan Mountain to the Demon Tower in Tongyezhou Town, the Holy Master and Chunyang Taoist were no longer there.
Only Xiao Mo, who was wearing a yellow hat, green shoes and a green bamboo cane, stood in the corridor on the top floor accompanied by Qing Tong, who was wearing a green robe.
Chen Ping'an put the night tour behind him again and prepared to go home. This time he left Xiandu Mountain with Xiao Mo, entered the Demon Town Tower, and walked into Zou Zi's secret instructions and Qing Tong's own hands.
The twelve illusory worlds were laid out, and then he traveled to dozens of landscape temples in his dream. At the Fenhe Temple in Mengliang Kingdom, he met Lu Chen again, and then they climbed Mount Huangliang Sect together...
Compared with all my previous travels, according to the real scale of time, it actually took a short time. However, if you count the journey of mountains and rivers in the twelve scrolls, plus the journey of your heart, it really feels like a lifetime ago.
Qing Tong saw the young hermit official who was busy with work, and hesitated to speak. Of course he wanted to participate in the celebration of the next sect on the Xiandu Mountain, but it was difficult to say it for a while. In fact, Qing Tong had already made up his mind, and he must embrace it.
Xiandushan's thighs will never let Chen Ping'an run away like this tonight.
In Qingtong's view, it is no longer that important for a scholar who can beat the spring drum for the Literary Sage after thousands of years to be a close disciple of the Literary Sage.
Qing Tong even speculated that as long as Chen Ping'an is willing and willing to work hard in this direction, he will be the deputy leader of the Confucian Temple in the future.
Chen Pingan looked at Qing Tong, who wanted to speak but stopped talking several times, and asked with a smile: "Senior Qing Tong, do you have something to say?"
Qing Tong smiled awkwardly and gave up a little.
The other party no longer calls him by his first name, and he is not even a fellow Taoist Qingtong. Haha, senior Qingtong may seem to be friendly, but in fact he is very different.
It's obvious that he wants to burn bridges across the river and draw a clear line between himself and the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
In fact, after traveling far away with Chen Ping'an and spending a long time with this young hermit official who he once mistakenly thought was Zheng Juzhong of Baidi City, Qing Tong felt that he had some ability to know the subtleties, play tricks, talk about Zen tricks, and observe people's emotions.
I know the elegant meaning after hearing the string.
Xiao Mo couldn't stand Qing Tong's nagging and nagging, delaying his young master's journey, so he said bluntly: "Sir, Qing Tong wants to participate in the celebration of the next sect in Xiandu Mountain."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's a small thing, it's just a matter of attending the ceremony. Fellow Taoist Qingtong, don't think too much about it. I just feel that Xiandu Shandu didn't send out the invitation, which is inconsistent with etiquette. I'm worried that I'm treating fellow Taoist Qingtong in a slow way."
Qing Tong coughed quickly and signaled Xiao Mo to finish what he said and stop being so sloppy.
This journey of traveling around the mountains and rivers has no merit but hard work. You, Xiandu Mountain, should be given the title of "chief" no matter what.
Besides, a great monk in the Ascension Realm, let alone the host of half of Tongye Continent, actually needs to beg people to be worshiped as a sect. Guest, if it is spread, it will be a big joke.
Xiao Mo said: "Qing Tong also wants to be the registered worshipper or guest of the Qingping Sword Sect. Just after we chatted, he wanted me to help with a few words. I said that this may involve adding a seat for the ancestor of the lower sect.
As for the important matter of the chair, I am just a registered worshiper of Luo Lo Mountain. Of course, it doesn’t count. Whether it succeeds or not has to be decided by the young master himself. Besides, our Luo Lo Mountain is not a one-man show, so it must be quite difficult."
Chen Ping'an suddenly realized, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Qing Tong, if you are willing to condescend to attend the ceremony, and then be a registered guest to worship the guest, of course Xiandu Mountain will be prosperous because of this, which is really a good thing that you can only dream of. But Xiaomo
I really didn’t mean to deceive you. When it comes to the next matter, my student Cui Dongshan and I have already made an agreement. I almost never interfere and leave it all to Cui Dongshan. It’s really hard to make exceptions for anyone and break the rules. Besides, even if it’s
At the Shangzong Luopo Mountain, I held a meeting at the Patriarch Hall. I blamed myself for being unreliable. During the years after I became the mountain master, I was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper who never saw anyone. I was away from the mountain all the year round. Everyone had grievances.
Well, there are many things they deliberately do to make me angry and contradict me."
Xiao Mo immediately followed up, "So when I saw Qing Tong before, I didn't seem to believe it, so I gave a ready-made example. Cui Xianshi, the proud student of the young master at that time and now the first sect master of Xiandu Mountain, vouched for the recommendation of sect master Jiang Lao.
Serving as the chief worshiper of Luo Luo Mountain was not without some objections. The process was quite tortuous. I heard from Protector Zhou that at that time, there was a quarrel in the Jise Peak Patriarch Hall, and it was almost a huge quarrel. It was not easy for him to become Luo Luo.
Chief Mountain."
Qing Tong said with a straight face: "If you are really in trouble, just pretend I didn't mention it."
No matter how much you love me, I really don’t want to serve you anymore.
Chen Ping'an is smiling, and you are trying to get along with me. I really don't like you.
Xiao Mo reminded her from the bottom of her heart: "While the young master has just traveled far away, Qing Tong has emptied several rooms of his treasures that have been collected for many years. Judging from the situation, they are going to be used as celebration gifts."
Chen Ping'an glared at Xiao Mo, "Why don't you tell me this kind of thing straight to the point? Master Yin Guan immediately raised his voice and let out a long sigh, "How can fellow Taoist Qing be so angry? Don't do this, just rely on it.
My friendship with Qingtong, the term "fellow Taoist" is simply a term tailor-made for the three of us. In public and private matters, in terms of emotion and reason, Xiaomo and I should strongly recommend one or two to you in the future.
Try to get a chair from Qingpingfeng Ancestral Hall!"
Qingtong nodded.
He seems to be still angry.
Before leaving the Demon Suppressing Building, Chen Ping'an suddenly smiled and said: "Qing Tong, let's not talk about anything else. I'm just talking about 'fellow Taoist friends'. I am very sincere and sincere."
Qingtong nodded and said, "I only believe this sentence."
Xiaomo glanced at his young master.
Chen Pingan nodded quietly, understanding.
This Taoist fellow Qingtong is different from the past, and he is not easy to deceive.
Afterwards, Chen Pingan took the lead in twisting the Three Mountain Talisman. Qing Tong was quite surprised, but remained calm.
Is it because he is in a hurry to return to Xiandu Mountain, or does it mean that Chen Ping'an now uses this great talisman without consuming merit?
With the help of the Shuchi Mountain River of the Three Mountains Talisman, in a few blinks of an eye, we arrived at a mountain.
We are already in the realm of Qingping Sword Sect. The three mountains of Xiandu, Yunzheng, and Chumiao stand side by side, forming a pattern of one master and two auxiliaries.
I am Cao Feng on Mount Qimiao. This place is where Cao Qinglang retreats.
Including Yunzheng Mountain, the two mountains are still covered by the formation.
The three mountains were once the old mountain ruins of Tongyezhou. After Cui Dongshan's careful construction and repairs, they have taken on a new look.
On the main peaks of the two mountains, steles were erected on the tops of the mountains respectively, which were inscribed in Cui Dongshan's own handwriting, with the words "My Cao cannot come out" and "The Purple Qi of Heaven and Earth".
Chen Ping'an, who carries a sword in a green shirt, Xiao Mo, who wears a yellow hat, green shoes and a green bamboo cane, and Qing Tong, who is dressed in a green robe and has a handsome appearance.
There are green bamboo forests in the mountains. The wind shakes the bamboo forest, and the whole mountain is full of rhythm. There is a quiet stream below, and its sound is sometimes loud and sometimes soft.
The three of them were walking along the water, and the stream among the bamboo forests was gurgling. There were rocks above the water, and there were clumps of cattails, which were green and lovely.
There are many small pools formed by concave rocks in the water. The water in the pool is particularly clear and deep, and there are many fish swimming around.
There are many bamboo bushes on both sides of the stream. Under the bamboo bushes, the rocks are clustered together like teeth, reflecting in the water, like cattle and horses drinking in the stream.
Chen Ping'an introduced with a smile: "The main peak of Yunzheng Mountain elsewhere, Wu Cao Peak, will be the dojo of Cui Dongshan, the sect leader of the lower sect. He also serves as the first mountain master of Yunzheng Mountain. In addition to the abbot, he will
For a specific matter, a wide range of disciples will be recruited. Taoism, swordsmanship, boxing, talismans, alchemy, formations, economic methods, etc. will be divided into categories and each will accept disciples. After today's daytime ceremony, the first Qing Dynasty
During Pingfeng’s discussion, Cui Dongshan will also propose that among the young genealogy monks who will become Qingping Sword Sect in the future, the first swordsman to reach the Jade Pu realm can take over Cao Feng and serve as the second mountain master."
"And the Jingxing Peak under our feet, not the entire Cimu Mountain, will be temporarily handed over to Cao Qinglang, who is in retreat here to form elixirs, because Cao Qinglang is the first Taoist cultivator at Jingxing Peak, and he will also
There is no doubt that he will be the next sect leader. Both the upper and lower sects have known this for a long time. Then Qingping Sword Sect has another tradition, which is an unwritten rule.
Starting from the sect leader Cao Qinglang, the third sect leader and all the next sect leaders will be the peak masters of Jingxing Peak. In this regard, we obviously learned from the Jiuyi Peak of the Jade Gui Sect."
"Since the name of the sect is Qingping Sword Sect, of course it is based on swordsmanship. As the ancestral mountain, Xiandu Mountain is the place where future sword cultivators will settle. Yunzheng Mountain may be responsible for hosting pure martial artists, except Cui
Dongshan, the lower sect also has Mr. Zhong, and Sui Youyou from Banxian Peak. In addition, we have a very good relationship with Pushan, so it is not a big problem to teach boxing. On the side of Qimiao Mountain, there are hundreds of qi practitioners from various schools.
There will be some."
Qing Tong was actually not very interested in these sect affairs. Hearing what Chen Ping'an was talking about beside him fell in his ears, and it just flowed away slowly like a stream, not in his mind.
However, when it comes to the candidates for the inheritance of a sect, hereditary secret methods are no small matter in any mountaintop fairy house. However, at this moment, Chen Ping'an is calm and a little light. In fact, it is very important for the future genealogy of Qingping Sword Sect.
For a monk, it may be countless love and hatred, and the ups and downs of people's hearts. Therefore, Chen Ping'an did not regard his fellow disciples as outsiders.
Xiao Mo smiled and said: "Friend Qing Tong, I have heard about many things for the first time, so don't be so absent-minded."
Qing Tong looked helpless, but he said something hidden in his mind: "I can't take out a booklet and write down these words one by one."
Xiao Mo smiled and said: "I built a dojo at the foot of Xiandu Mountain, in a place that was just named Luobaotan. I believe that in the future I will be worshiping with Qing Tong or being a guest with Qing Tong, and we will often talk to each other about old times.
"
Qing Tong's face turned stiff.
Chen Pingan asked abruptly: "In all these years, you haven't recruited a few disciples to teach Taoism or boxing?"
After all, Qingtong is an Ascension Realm monk who is half as good as a warrior in the End of the Realm. And with Qingtong's temperament of frequenting Lotus Flower Paradise, at first glance, he doesn't seem to like someone who likes to live too lonely a life.
Qing Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "It has never happened before."
The main reason is because he is in charge of the demon tower and his responsibilities are too special. Qing Tong would not dare to accept disciples casually for fear that he would make himself smelly. Moreover, the old temple master of the East China Sea and the master of the Bixiao Cave also once said to him unceremoniously.
I have criticized Qingtong and said that Qingtong is not the kind of material who can establish a sect on his own.
Facts have proved that Qingtong was really careful. The disaster at Taipingshan was the best lesson for the future. The Demon-Suppressing Tower was very likely to end up in a similar situation. Moreover, Qingtong felt that once he had a chance to open a mountain,
Disciple, you will never stop recruiting disciples. Just like the room after room of collections in the Demon Suppressing Building, Qing Tong never looks at the appearance or rarity, only the appearance, so he will close his disciples.
The arrival of , will definitely be far away.
Chen Ping'an said with emotion: "Fellow Taoist Qing Tong is really dedicated to seeking the truth, which makes others feel ashamed."
Qing Tong was about to speak again but stopped.
Because the reason why he shamelessly got involved with Xiandu Mountain is that now that the world situation has changed, Qing Tong's thoughts have changed accordingly, and he really wants to get Dangdang, the first generation ancestor of a certain sect.
Chen Ping'an seemed to have read through Qing Tong's thoughts and said: "Repay the favor. After I retreat, I will go on a long trip to Haoran with my friends. During this period, I will pass by the Middle Earth Divine Continent. I will pick up my husband at the Confucian Temple to help you with a few words.
If so, see if you can be allowed to open a sect somewhere in the middle of Tongye Continent, near the Demon Suppression Tower, and strive to allow the local demon monks here in Tongye Continent to join your sect, so as to save them from being in trouble all year round.
, Taoism is distracted, and there is no intention to practice at all. As time goes by, this group of demon monks who have become resentful will pose some hidden dangers to Tongye Continent."
"Qingtong, you took the initiative to come to Qingping Sword Sect with us for selfish reasons. I brought you to Jingxing Peak for my own selfish reasons."
Qingtong asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Chen Ping'an walked on the path in the bamboo forest with his hands in his sleeves. "A person who is far-sighted and cautious can achieve great success. A person who is loyal, kind and honest can be entrusted with great things."
"In my opinion, the existence of fellow Taoist Qingtong can be completely ignored, leaving aside the Demon Suppression Tower. It is the fourth mountain beyond our Qingping Sword Sect's immortal capital, Yunzheng, and Preparation."
"Fellow Taoist Qingtong may not be an outstanding first ancestor of the sect, but he will definitely be a very responsible and dedicated Taoist protector."
Xiao Mo was greatly surprised.
He said three words "ji" in one breath. Does Qingtong really deserve this evaluation?
My young master's words didn't even have any underlying meaning. He just put all the meaning on the table, hoping that Qingtong could become the behind-the-scenes protector of Qingping Sword Sect, at least one of them.
Qing Tong was even more surprised, smiled bitterly, and laughed at himself: "Even if you say it sincerely, I don't believe it myself."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You can believe this, because I have come through it step by step."
"Fellow Taoist Qingtong, just rest assured and don't worry about falling into a trap of right and wrong. I will make an agreement with Cui Dongshan and the others in advance and guarantee that you will not be involved in any sect affairs because of your realm and identity, so you only need to
As an outsider, I should pay more attention to the development trend of Qingping Sword Sect year by year. As long as I feel something is wrong, even if I can't say what is wrong, I can contact Cui Dongshan or the second sect leader in the future.
Cao Qinglang put it forward on his own initiative, without having to worry about whether his views were right or wrong."
Qing Tong nodded, "I can only promise that I will do my best. I don't make any other promises."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Then it's a deal."
The group of people walked to the top of Jingxing Peak. The sky was clear and clear, the mountains were green and the moon was white. They looked around and felt relaxed and happy.
Because of Lu Chen's evaluation, which described the inscription as "some kind of immortal slough" that retains its spirit but has lost its form, Chen Ping'an looked at the stone tablet a few more times this time.
A young man in a Confucian shirt quickly walked out of the stone room, bowed and said: "Sir, I am a stranger to you, senior."
As expected by Lu Chen, the rank of the golden elixir Cao Qinglang had formed was between the first and second grades.
Alchemy of the first grade is a qualification for ascension, such as Wei She of Ai Aizhou in his early years, and Yao Qing, the elegant prime minister of Qing Mingtianxia. But in fact, many great monks who stand on the top of the world today are mostly alchemy-achieving
Second grade,
Chen Ping'an smiled happily and said: "The elixir is above the second grade, which is great. It is much better than the elixir that Mr. made back then."
Then Chen Ping'an began to introduce Qing Tong beside him, "This Taoist friend, whose Taoist name is 'Qing Tong', is a local monk in Tongyezhou and is in the Ascension Realm. Because the Taoist name and the name of our Qingping Sword Sect both contain a
The word 'Qing', fellow Daoist fellow Qing thinks it is a rare fate, and he has been invited by me several times, so he will be the registered worshiper of the Qingping Sword Sect."
Cao Qinglang bowed and saluted again, "Junior Cao Qinglang, I have met senior Qingtong."
Qing Tong nodded in greeting with a smile on his face, but there was a slight sneer in his heart. Lord Yin Guan really came right out of his mouth.
Chen Ping'an said: "The realm and qualifications of fellow Taoist Qingtong are all clearly stated there. Just because Mi Yu is already the unofficial chief minister, fellow Taoist Qingtong can only take second place."
Qing Tong was speechless.
Is this the second place for worship?
Isn’t this just a statement?
Cao Qinglang smiled warmly and said: "After all, our Qingping Sword Sect is still a kendo sect, so we can only wrong Senior Qingtong."
Qing Tong said with a smile: "It's not a grievance. It's an honor to be associated with the Qingping Sword Sect."
Don't dare to feel a little bit aggrieved.
What's more, Xiao Mo next to me, a sword cultivator who has perfected the Ascension Realm, is not just a registered worshiper in Luolu Mountain, but he is not as good as himself, and he still doesn't have a second place.
Dressed in white, a young man with a mole between his eyebrows came flying in the wind. When his figure swayed and settled, his two snow-white sleeves made a sound, and he bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."
As soon as Cui Dongshan got up, a young woman with a bun and a little girl in black came to Jingxing Peak.
It turned out that after Cui Dongshan noticed the traces of his husband and his entourage, he knocked on the door and asked the senior sister Pei Qian to call Xiaomi Li, who was staying up all night by the fire together in the house.
Xiao Mi Li was very excited and announced the good news: "Good Lord Mountain, Yu Mi has broken through. He is the well-deserved, justifiable, and genuine Mi Great Sword Immortal!"
Chen Ping'an deliberately showed a look of surprise on his face and praised: "It's amazing."
Qingtong's heart moved slightly.
That Mi Lanyao of the Sword Qi Great Wall, the first chief priest of Xiandu Mountain, is actually an Immortal Realm sword cultivator?!
Chen Ping'an bent down and rubbed Xiaomi Li's head, "Do you often guard the gate for Mi Dajianxian?"
Xiaomi Li grinned and said, "Yeah, sometimes."
Xiaomi Li put his hand to his mouth and whispered to the good mountain master: "Yu Mi said, the process of retreat can be dangerous and dangerous, but whenever the Taoist heart is unstable, I often think of Master Yinguan's indiscretion on the battlefield.
After being confused, I calmed down and finally broke through the situation by luck, so Yu Mi repeatedly told me that this time I was able to break the bottleneck and get out alive. In addition to my sincere thanks to Liu Zongzhu of Taihui Sword Sect, the remaining half of the credit is all thanks to
It is a gift from Lord Yinguan, and it has nothing to do with his own cultivation, sword heart, or even a single copper coin."
Chen Pingan laughed angrily and blurted out: "Fuck you."
Xiaomi scratched his face.
Chen Ping'an immediately became friendly and said, "Don't worry about him for now, let's go back to Mi Xuefeng."
Qing Tong remained silent.
As for the customs of Luolu Mountain, because Chen Pingan chose to stay at home while wandering around in a dream, Qing Tong has never been able to experience it personally.
However, Xiaomo's words and deeds have made Qingtong mentally prepared, but judging from the current situation, it seems that it is still not enough.
Chen Pingan helped introduce Qing Tong.
After that, two more figures came from the ghost city in the Dayuan Dynasty. They were Zhong Kui and the ghost immortal Yu Jin who called himself Gusu. Chen Pingan had no choice but to introduce Qing Tong's identity again, but
Omitting the realm of Zhenyao Tower and Qingtong, it’s not that I can’t trust Zhong Kui, but that I can’t trust that greasy-looking fat man, an imperial hero who almost completed the feat of a continent and a country earlier than the Song family of Dali, history books
The so-called "husband killed millions of heads with a white blade" is not a flattering word.
Zhong Kui glanced at Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan nodded.
Zhong Kui secretly gave a thumbs up.
Chen Pingan also gave a thumbs up to Zhong Kui.
We meet each other in our hearts, only in silence.
Not bad either.
Because two friends are like one responsible for opening the road, and the other responsible for helping to protect the road.
Chen Ping'an also witnessed with his own eyes Zhong Kui's "invincible appearance" on the way to the ghost road. It is not easy to open the road, but it is even harder to protect it.
Throughout the northwest boundary of Tongye Continent, Zhong Kui almost relied on himself. Using a spectacular method similar to Bai Ye's "sword transformation" in Fuyao Continent, he transformed his body into countless roads and helped countless ghosts.
The Yin Spirit guides the way forward, while resisting the strong wind between heaven and earth, forcibly suppressing the immortal Qi practitioners and various landscape gods along the way, innately suppressing the lonely souls and wild ghosts, and escorting them into the gates leading to the underworld one by one.
Inside the gate, that was definitely a feat that even the Ascension Realm monks could not accomplish. At the same time, Zhong Kui also took a trip to Huangquan Road in person, and directly issued a series of decrees without the need for him to meet the "Lord of the Palace" in Fengdu.
It is strictly ordered that the servants of the underworld, the ghost servants and the numerous bull-headed and horse-faced people on the road are not allowed to flog any incoming ghost without authorization. The key is that the entire Fengdu has a transcendent status and can even ignore the Confucian Temple, the etiquette rules of Bai Yujing, and the Taoist decrees. It seems that
Having no objections to this is tantamount to acquiescing to Zhong Kui's transgression.
Therefore, in this late night when the old and the new are changing, it may be destined to be a sleepless night for the Taoist cultivators in Tongye Continent, the three Confucian academies, the emperors and generals of various countries, and the gods of mountains and rivers.
In fact, when Zhong Kui set out, he also took the fat man Yu Jin with him on a far journey, so that all the aura of heaven and earth in Yu Jin's body was exhausted.
For the ghost fairy Yu Jin, it was a unique way to protect the Tao.
When he returned to the dilapidated ghost town with no ghosts left, the fat man collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. He didn't feel much sense of accomplishment, and it was rare that he didn't complain to Zhong Kui.
An exhausted fat man lay on the ground and only said something from the bottom of his heart, with a hint of self-deprecation: "I never thought that besides killing people, I would do such a thing in my life."
The fat man who was brought to Xiandu Mountain by Zhong Kui was still chattering on the way there, complaining that Zhong Kui didn't know how to care for people, even a donkey working like a mill, and he was exhausted from being used like this.
But when Yu Jin came to Jingxing Peak, he felt that the trip was worthwhile, and his eyes suddenly lit up because he saw the beautiful woman in a green robe.
The fat man sincerely admired Chen Ping'an. Huang Ting, Ye Yunyun, and Her Majesty the Empress Daquan, whose relationship was unclear, were all great beauties.
It's too shameful to mess around with women.
While Chen Ping'an and Zhong Kui were chatting there, the fat man walked towards the fairy sister and said, "The young man's surname is Yu and his first name is Gu Su. He and Master Chen are close friends. I don't know that the girl besides her nickname is Qing Tong.
"What's your surname? Where is your ancestral home? Where do you live now? There is a mountain top of Shimen Mountain. I like traveling in mountains and rivers the most. I am willing to go down the mountain with my sister Qingtong after the ceremony to meet my elders."
Qing Tong was actually reluctant to deal with this ghost fairy.
Because Yu Jin had wandered around Tongye Island with Zhong Kui before, Qing Tong had glanced at the master and servant a few times and knew Yu Jin very well.
As for being mistaken for a female cultivator by this fat man, Qing Tong didn't have any grudge against him.
Yu Jin smiled and said: "I am not a talented young man, but I just happen to have some understanding of poetry. For example, I saw a girl. She was as beautiful as a scroll, just like a lady standing in the shade of paulownia. In the bright moon, there was a wind blowing across the parasol.
The phrase "green leaves make the coolness" comes from a deep feeling... I am afraid of scaring the girl when I say it. I will tell you the truth. Xiaosheng is actually a ghost, but girls should not be sad about it. When Xiaosheng was alive, he once wrote tens of thousands of poems, but now he has changed his mind.
, turning to the rest of the poem. When you look at the girl's elegance, you can tell that she is a forest figure who is good at this. For example, Xiaosheng recently wrote lyrics about the melting moon, the light wind, and the catkins next to the pear blossoms. I just always feel that this side in this sentence is
The meaning of the word is still unfinished, and it seems that it is difficult to call it the best. What does the girl think? If it is replaced by the word "Fu", would it be better if the breeze blows on the face? If it is replaced by the word "support", will the aftertaste be the longest? "
Qing Tong was so annoyed that he could only sneer in his heart: "Yu Jin, I have read some of those nasty limericks of yours. When it comes to plotting to usurp the throne and leading troops to fight, you are the best person in the world, but you are the best in the world."
When it comes to writing poems and lyrics, you don't seem to be even a low-ranking person."
Yu Jin's eyes were sad, and he glanced sideways at Chen Ping'an, and said angrily: "This person really has a close friendship with Miss Qingtong, and he tells everyone about everything."
Cui Dongshan asked: "Sir, why don't you go to Mixue Peak to rest first? Half an hour before the celebration, I will ask Xiao Mili to inform you sir?"
Xiaomi Li took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and tightened the hiking pole and golden pole in his hands. He had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and it was unavoidable.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I just need to take a nap and relax for a while."
Cui Dongshan said: "Then let me and my husband talk about something while going down the mountain?"
Afterwards, Cao Qinglang and the others returned to their respective homes at Mi Xuefeng in Xiandu Mountain.
Xiaomo returned to Luobaotan at the foot of the mountain alone, and Pei Qian would arrange for Qingtong to live there.
But Chen Pingan left the millet grains and walked with Cui Dongshan down the mountain to Jingxing Peak.
Cui Dongshan does have a few things that he needs to discuss carefully with his husband.
The first thing is whether to dig out a new road in the middle of Tongye Island.
This was also the case at the old general Yao Zhen's house and at the Pushan Yuncaotang.
Unlike Aquarius Continent, Tongye Continent has an old path in its history. However, as time has passed, it has been cut into pieces by dynasties, various small country cities, and Xian family mansions along the central part of the continent. It is of little significance to repair the old road as before.
, the old is not as good as the new. Fortunately, there is a ready-made successful example that can be copied and applied, that is, the Qidu crossing of Aquarius Island, and the difficulty of digging this large river in the past was far greater than that of the old river of Tongye Island.
Otherwise, even if Chen Ping'an and the Qingping Sword Sect of Xiandu Mountain are one of the initiators and the real leaders, they will inevitably have to quarrel several times, and many fundamental differences will inevitably arise.
In addition, how many Grain Rain coins are needed to build a large road depends on how big the stalls will be in the new road that has not yet been named.
The Daquan Dynasty has obviously been planning this for a long time, and now has a rough prototype of the Dadu Riverbed. However, in Cui Dongshan's eyes, there are too many things that need to be corrected, and it is not a trivial matter that only needs outsiders to check and fill in the gaps.
.
Chen Pingan heard the general outline and asked: "When you talked with the old general and the others about this matter earlier, did you talk about the candidates for the high-ranking water gods in Dadu?"
Because according to the rules of the Confucian Temple, Dadu together means that Tongye Sect can create three more high-ranking water gods out of thin air. Let's just talk about Gonghou Bo, at least three high-ranking water gods.
If we say that in addition to the Xiandu Mountain and Qingping Sword Sect who took the lead, the Daquan Dynasty’s Yao family, Pu Shan, or Huang Ting’s Taiping Mountain are all the initiators.
So these forces sat down, closed the door, and divided up the three precious quotas early on.
Or should we open the door wider, attract as many countries and immortal sects as possible, list the most suitable candidates for the Water God, and actively give up one or even two of them?
In fact, it is quite a problem.
Some literati have bad habits that do nothing but cause bad things.
And it's not just being selfless that can make things happen.
Cui Dongshan blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Earlier, the students were in the old general's house, and everyone gathered around the fire to talk about this matter. It was just because everyone at that time, what they saw in front of them, were all urgent, and they were more worried about whether this matter was feasible or not.
, After all, it’s still unclear whether we can get off to a good start. My husband wasn’t there, so we weren’t there at the time, and we didn’t dare to talk so far.”
Chen Pingan glared.
Cui Dongshan obviously wants to make his husband work hard.
Cui Dongshan chuckled and said: "In the Daquan Dynasty, our Biyou Palace where the River Goddess is buried will definitely occupy one of the places of the Duke."
Chen Pingan said softly: "This matter depends on Liu Rou's own wishes."
The bigger problem is that Dadu should not be too straight, otherwise the water will surge into the sea and easily take away the vitality of mountains and rivers in a continent. Ordinary dynasties and kingdoms along the way and fairy mansions on the mountains will not be able to retain them. Therefore, whenever the Dadu River is straight,
, just countless complaints.
However, a Dadu should not be too winding or winding, otherwise it will easily damage the destiny of a continent. At the same time, this means that cities and farmland in many countries will inevitably be flooded by the water of Dadu, just because of the relocation of people along the way.
One incident is likely to involve millions or even tens of millions of people. Therefore, whenever Dadu twists and turns, it will attract countless criticisms. In addition, along with Dadu, outside the riverbed,
It involves the diversion of a large number of rivers, and many mountains in plains, especially basins, are very likely to become the old almanac. For the monarchs and courts of various countries who have just restored their countries, they are all right in front of them.
Huge losses, so the weighing of pros and cons here still involves all aspects and is an extremely complicated and extremely complicated struggle for interests.
In Aquarius Continent, Da Li is one country, and there is no need to care about the pros and cons of each country. In addition, Da Li officials are capable in government affairs, and no one dares to point fingers and hold back. Tongye Continent
How to compare?
In the final analysis, there are two major problems, money and people's hearts.
Chen Ping'an looked helpless and said: "The most worry-free and labor-saving thing is to use fairy money to buy the entire road that Dadu flows through."
If you want to save worry and effort, you have to spend a lot of money and use enough money to fill the big hole in people's hearts.
Xiaomi Li frowned and sighed: "How high and how big of a mountain of money do we have to clear?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "There may be only one person with such financial resources, and that is Liu Caishen of Aai Aizhou."
Xiao Mili exclaimed: "That's too rich. It's a pity that I'm not familiar with Aaizhou Liu Caishen. When we met, we couldn't even talk to each other."
Cui Dongshan smiled and reached out to touch Xiaomi Li's head.
The little girl quickly bowed her head and shook her head. The big white goose was getting more and more presumptuous. Look, this person is so bold before he becomes the leader of the clan. When he becomes the leader of the clan, it will be great, great, not great.
Chen Ping'an said: "You represent Xiandu Mountain and are fully responsible for specific matters. I will only help take the lead. But don't feel aggrieved. First of all, I have to come out to the Confucian Temple and Academy. Secondly, I have helped you make an appointment with Yang Zhi."
Okay, maybe Taoist Master Nen will come to Tongyezhou to help in the future. Just talk about the cost of relocation, and you can already save an astronomical amount of money. In addition, the Demon Suppressing Tower
Qingtong will also help. Qingtong has served as the second minister of our Qingping Sword Sect, and he will definitely not sit idly by."
Cui Dongshan smiled and rubbed his hands, "That's enough, that's enough. I have to learn from you, sir, and stop when you're good, and stop when you're good."
Chen Ping'an said: "Is there anything else?"
Cui Dongshan told the truth. It turned out that he planned to relocate more old Five Mountains and Immortal Mansion ruins, and gradually take root in the sect's boundaries.
Many of these old mountain ruins were useless in the hands of the new monarchs who restored the country, because many of the new Wuyue Mountain monarchs who were supported after the war were actually unwilling to open mansions on the dilapidated old sites. They would inevitably feel that there was something wrong with them.
It's a bit unlucky, and those dilapidated hills, not to mention the mountains that have been ruined by demon monks, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth have been plundered, are just big holes. It's really a headache for the tigers to open their houses on the old hills.
Later emperors and monarchs also had their own pragmatic considerations. They were not only greedy for power and seeking greatness, but also wanted to leave a name in history. After all, not everyone had the opportunity to grant Zen to the mountains in the past dynasties. The threshold for monarchs who want to be granted Zen has been extremely high since ancient times.
, if the location of the mountain is changed, not only can the mountain be officially enshrined, but it can also help a country's luck, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, just like the new year's atmosphere in the city below the mountain.
As a result, Cui Dongshan's family fortune, which only includes the fairy money and not the piles of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, may be squandered by his lavish spending.
Therefore, the first sect leader of Qingping Sword Sect still has a sense of crying for poverty.
Our lower sect is really powerless to pay for the excavation of Dadu. We can recruit people, but as for paying for it, we can only rely on my husband and the shangzong Luo Po Mountain.
Chen Ping'an shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "I really have a good student, a proud disciple."
No wonder Cui Dongshan deliberately let Xiaomi Li walk between the two of them, maybe because he was worried about being beaten.
The third thing finally doesn’t involve money.
It turned out that it was the Jade Gui Sect, taking advantage of this opportunity to create a new sect in Luopo Mountain, and took the initiative to show goodwill to Xiandu Mountain. They did not hesitate to let the new peak leader of Jiuyi Peak, the young sword cultivator Qiu Zhi, come to Xiandu Mountain in person to participate.
Celebration viewing.
Qingping Sword Sect, should we take advantage of the situation and form an alliance with Yugui Sect? In fact, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Once the alliance is formally formed and the two parties conclude a mountain contract, it means that both parties have recognized the future one-continent mountain pattern of "South Yugui and North Qingping".
Even if Xiandu Mountain does not have such ambitions, at least Yu Guizong is willing to unilaterally admit the matter, which is a great deal of sincerity.
If the two sides form an alliance, the previous Peach Leaf Alliance will become a piece of waste paper.
But if the two sides do not sign an alliance, it will mean that the two sides have invisibly drawn a road, with Daquan Dynasty, Lenghe, etc. as the boundary, or in other words, Dadu in the future as the border, Qingping Jianzong and Yugui Zongjing
Water does not interfere with rivers. If there is a dispute in the future, since there is no incense and love, it can only be dealt with in a business-like manner.
Chen Pingan said: "You can decide on this matter yourself, I won't give you any opinions or suggestions."
Cui Dongshan was not surprised either, holding his chin with a sad look on his face.
Chen Ping'an didn't even bother to take a look, so he was pretending to be miserable for who to see.
The last thing, Cui Dongshan wants to confirm something with his husband, the trend in the next hundred years.
Perhaps only this matter is the most crucial and top priority for Cui Dongshan and Xiazong.
Chen Ping'an said: "First, I will retreat for a period of time and return to the Yupu realm. Then I will travel around the world and visit several continents I have never been to."
In Zhuhai Dongtian, opening a wine shop without charging rent was a personal promise from the Holy Master.
Also, because of something explained by Aunt Feng in the Great Li capital, Chen Ping'an had to go to the Paradise of Hundred Flowers. As for being the Supreme Guest of some blessed land, there was no need for it.
Cui Dongshan asked tentatively: "Sir, are you in retreat here at Mixue Peak?"
Chen Ping'an said: "I will return to Luopo Mountain and give the small Cave Heaven Dojo to Chai Wu and King Sun Chun's children."
Cui Dongshan stamped his foot and said, "Xiaomili, please give me a word of justice for my junior brother."
Xiaomi Li shook her head and laughed, "I want to go home too."
Cui Dongshan said sadly: "Why is our Xiandu Mountain not the home of the Right Protector?"
Xiao Mili thought for a while and gave her answer, "I don't need to patrol the mountains every day here."
She is smart. Here in Xiandu Mountain, the so-called mountain patrol means that she finds something to do by herself.
In Luolu Mountain, it's different.
From the old cook, to Sister Nuanshu, to the Taoist priest Xianwei at the gate of the mountain, and even further to Qilong Lane on the other side of the town, everyone felt that Xuanshan was not just messing around, she was a conscientious person who could do a good job.
Although it is a small matter no bigger than a grain of rice, only Zhou Mili can do it.
When Cui Dongshan heard what Xiao Mili said, he knew that there was no room for mediation. If he dared to say anything, he would probably be scolded by his husband.
Chen Ping'an rubbed Xiao Mili's head and asked Cui Dongshan: "How are the specific positions arranged at the Ancestral Master Hall?"
Regarding the specific process arrangements for the Xia Zong celebration, Chen Ping'an really didn't know in detail. Moreover, different mountains have their own family laws and rituals.
Things that are too far away. Can’t be seen, are out of reach, can’t even be thought of.
When something really good happens, it feels like a dream again.
That's why the previous ceremony of founding the sect in Luolu Mountain seemed so careless and casual from beginning to end.
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "Sir, as the head of the sect, of course there is no need for the abbot to hold an incense ceremony. There is no need to offer incense."
After all, the portrait hanging in the middle of the lower sect's ancestral hall is Chen Ping'an himself, the head of the upper sect.
There is no reason to offer incense to oneself.
This is of course also because the establishment of Luopo Mountain, Qingping Sword Sect, Shang Sect and Lower Sect was too one after another.
At the beginning of the establishment of most of the lower sects in the world, it can be seen that the founder of the upper sect was not seen. There were only hanging statues and no living people.
Cui Dongshan continued: "For example, the long-lived Taoist friend who is the leader of Luopo Mountain and the second steward of our Fengyuan Ferry, Jia Lao Shenxian, because they are both from the Shangzong, there are still some differences from the guests attending the ceremony. They will be different from the guests.
Behind the husband, before our members set aside the genealogy certificates, we should first offer incense in turn. As for the position of the two rows of seats in the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall, anyway, on the mountain, the left and right are different, and there is no fixed rule.
According to the rules when you were on the Great Wall of Jianqi and going to Chunbanzhai, you should respect the left."
For example, in the Dali court, officials respected the left, and the military respected the right. But in the officialdom, promotion was called moving to the right, and demotion was called moving to the left, which is interesting.
"There is a row of upper sects on the left, and a row of lower sects on the right, to show respect to the lower sects. Without the water source of the upper sect, how can there be rivers of the lower sect."
"But in the future, at Qingping Peak, if the upper and lower sects discuss matters together, the seats will have to be swapped. According to the general rules, in the lower sect's ancestral hall, except for you, sir, there will be permanent seats, and the rest will be the chairperson of the upper sect.
Even the chief worshiper Jiang Shangzhen will not arrange fixed seats for them because they are not members of the ancestor hall of Qingping Sword Sect."
"Then there are Yao Xianzhi, Ye Yunyun and Huang Ting. This group of guests will first offer incense as guests of the ceremony. After our first meeting in the Ancestral Hall, after they each have their enshrinement and guest status, they will offer incense for the first time.
Officially, I re-enter the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall as a member of my family. Hey, walk out with the front foot, turn around and come back with the back foot."
Cui Dongshan asked with a smile: "Sir, just ask, what are the arrangements for the location of the hanging portraits in the ancestral hall of our lower sect?"
Chen Pingan said angrily: "Whoever is the leader of the next sect will have a headache."
Cui Dongshan took out some pieces of paper from his sleeve and said, "Sir, please take a look at these lists."
Three sheets of paper.
In fact, it's just a formality.
The genealogical members of the entire lower sect,
As well as the members of the Qingping Sword Sect’s Ancestral Hall, that is, those who have seats in the Qingpingfeng Ancestral Hall, and the specific positions they will each hold in the Qingping Sword Sect.
Finally, there are the guests.
Chen Ping'an took it over and read it carefully. When he saw the two names on the last piece of paper, he wondered: "How come Liu Jubao and Yu Panshui are also on the list of spectators?"
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "For the excavation of Dadu, sir, I plan to involve the Liu family of Aaizhou and the Xuanmi Dynasty. People are stupid and have too much money to take advantage of them."
Chen Pingan frowned slightly.
Cui Dongshan immediately said seriously: "Sir, don't worry, when they come, they are only responsible for giving money in advance and dividing the accounts afterwards. They are not allowed to use the excavation of the Great Dam to secretly build a puppet temple on the top of Xianfu Mountain in Tongyezhou. It's just that
For this kind of thing, signing a paper contract is actually of little use. Instead, it requires a kind of...gentleman's agreement."
At this point, Cui Dongshan began to move sideways, "The student has such a bad reputation and reputation, of course it won't work, it absolutely won't work."
"So the gentleman has to take action himself!"
Chen Ping'an smiled and turned to wave to the proud student.
Unknowingly, the three of them had reached the foot of Mount Tiaomiu.
Chen Ping'an looked up at Xiandu Mountain, the lower sect of Luolu Mountain, and at the gate of Qingping Peak, where the couplets presented by Wu Shuangjiang would be hung, a real treasure of the mountain.
Every word in the couplet is a place of endless Taoist rhyme and unity of spirit.
Before resting, Chen Pingan planned to go to Mixue Peak and meet Zhang Shanfeng first.
As for Zhang Shanfeng's senior brother, who refers to Yuan Lingdian of Xuanfeng, he is actually a registered guest of his family in Luolu Mountain.
Cui Dongshan was left to do his own thing, and Xiao Mili continued to watch the New Year with Pei Qian. As a result, Chen Ping'an walked to the house alone. Yuan Lingdian said that his junior brother Zhang Shanfeng was breathing heavily, so he had to give up.
Because he just planned to take a short rest, Chen Pingan did not go to Xiaodongtian Dojo. After all, there were many guests watching the ceremony on the mountain, all of whom were climbing mountains for the first time, such as the old master Liang Shuang, Yu Guizong and his party, and of course Pu Shanzhang
Lu Tan Rong.
The temporary resting place seemed to be specially prepared by Cui Dongshan for his junior brother Zhao Shuxia. The house was not big, so when he entered the courtyard, Chen Pingan chose a side room.
Chen Ping'an just sat down cross-legged and was about to close his eyes and relax for a moment.
I found a little girl running on the road outside the door. After approaching the house, she started to walk on tiptoes, stood quietly, and then acted as a doorkeeper at the door, holding a green bamboo stick and holding a golden pole.
Chen Pingan stood up with a smile and walked towards the door.
In a house not far from Mi Xuefeng, Liu Jinglong looked at the sullen apprentice and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Logically speaking, after Chen Ping'an returned to Xiandu Mountain, Bai Shou should take some reassurance and no longer have to worry about being beaten by Pei Qian for no reason.
Bai Shou's face was filled with confusion, and he said dejectedly: "It's Bai Xuan's fault for giving me a huge problem."
Liu Jinglong did not ask the reason.
Bai Shou asked: "Liu, do you think that when a person travels in the world, face is more important, or loyalty is more important?"
Liu Jinglong smiled and said: "Don't ask me, you can figure it out yourself."
Bai Shou scratched his head with both hands, feeling annoyed and said, "We are all surnamed Bai, why should we bother those surnamed Bai?"
It turned out to be Bai Xuan, who had a booklet in which he recorded many names. It was euphemistically called a hero's book, in which there were all tough-minded heroes.
Earlier, Bai Xuan asked Bai Shou if he wanted us two brothers to participate in the grand event together so that we could seek justice from someone in the future.
If he helps Bai Xuan conceal this matter, Bai Shou always feels that paper cannot contain the fire, and sooner or later, he will be beaten. None of the heroes and heroes whose names are written in the book can even think of running away.
But when it comes to informing Pei Qian, Bai Shou couldn't get over it. He seemed to be too ungrateful, which was not Bai Shou's usual style.
Don't tell the truth, I'm really afraid that Bai Xuan, that stupid young man, has secretly recorded his name in the book. When the matter is exposed, his crotch will be covered with yellow mud, which is either shit or shit.
This made Bai Shou hesitate, but in the end he still
I thought it was safe to tell the story to the man named Liu, so that even if I was settled by Pei Qian in the future, I would have a witness.
Liu Jinglong heard about the secret incident and said with a smile: "It's not a problem. To untie the bell, you still need the person who tied it."
"What do you mean?"
Bai Shou was confused when he heard this, and said angrily: "You don't want me to say anything to Pei Qian in a low voice, don't even think about it! It's okay for a big man to be beaten a few times. If we fight in real terms, if his skills are not as good as others, it's okay.
It’s an honor to be defeated, but you still want me to take the initiative to surrender?! Let her eat her shit..."
Bai Shou quickly shut up.
Liu Jinglong said helplessly: "What I want is for you to find Chen Ping'an, and for you to find me as a witness, it would be better to ask Pei Qian's master."
Bai Shou fisted his palm, "Wonderful!"
Outside the door, there were two people standing, one big and one small.
Chen Pingan in green shirt, little girl in black.
Chen Pingan knocked on the door, smiled and crossed the threshold with millet grains.
This guy climbed over the wall and entered the yard without knocking. Bai Shou could no longer care about such a trivial matter. Anyway, the entire Mixue Peak was his brother's territory. After Bai Shou got up, he laughed and said: "Chen Pingan,
You have heard about it. From now on, when Bai Xuan is beaten up, you have to help me explain it to Pei Qian."
Chen Ping'an crossed the threshold, smiled and nodded, "Of course it's no problem."
At this moment, looking at his happy head, he obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
millet grains,
I have silently memorized two things.
One big thing is the hero book about Bai Xuan.
Another little thing is that the master of Pianran Peak, the Golden Elixir Sword Immortal Baishou, calls our good mountain master by his first name.
The big event in front of me involves "gand and grievances in the world." It's not good for me to be the one who informs Pei Qian'er.
But if someone accidentally let this little thing slip by accident, it would probably not be a big problem, right?
Liu Jinglong glanced at the millet grains, then shifted his gaze, and found that Chen Ping'an was indeed holding back his anger.
Liu Jinglong coughed,
Bai Shou was not stupid at all. He was startled and immediately put on a bright smile and said: "Xiaomili, remember to help me with today's matter. The main purpose is to help Bai Xuan keep it a secret."
Xiaomi Li immediately said seriously: "I definitely don't know what the booklet is, I've never heard of it!"
Bai Shou felt that everything was safe, so he waved his hand and said, "Good brothers, hurry up and sit down to chat and have a drink."
Chen Pingan was about to take out a bottle of wine from his sleeve.
Liu Jinglong smiled and said: "I have already met Han Zhoujin in the capital city of Li. Thanks to someone's blessing, I have benefited a lot. Miss Han was very polite when she saw me."
Without saying anything, he took out two pots of Changchun wine that had been prepared long ago.
Of course, two pots per person.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Sect Leader Liu would not be able to enjoy his drink to the fullest, Han Zhoujin said there were still a few more pots left.
Chen Ping'an shook his sleeves, stood up from the chair and said, "I want to go see Zhang Shanfeng, so I won't chat with you for now."
Liu Jinglong said with confusion on his face: "I just came here and I'm leaving now. Why don't you have a drink?"
I saw the Lord Chen Shan said with an upright attitude: "Which one of us is following the other, we will have this meal of wine. Wait until the celebration is over, and we will talk about it later, no matter how polite you are, 'don't say' will be fine."
After walking out of the house, Xiao Mili lowered his voice and asked softly: "Good Lord Mountain, has Sect Master Liu been persuaded to drink alcohol again?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it's a matter of method. Liu Dajianxian has a good drinking capacity and is well-known. I can't envy him."
After that, Chen Ping'an knocked on the door of a house. The person who opened the door was Liang Shuang, a great master from Longhu Mountain, who was also an old man.
As for Ma Xuanhui, who lives in a wing on one side, he is a Taoist and often sleeps lightly before he truly attains Taoism.
The young female crown quickly walked out of her side room and looked at the three people chatting around the table in the main room. She had heard her master mention the real reason for the strange phenomenon in Tongyezhou before.
Ma Xuanhui became even more awed when he met the man in blue shirt from his sect. The master sighed at that time, in the future, you younger generation of monks will treat this man as a land god.
I just looked at the man in green shirt, and then at the little girl in black who was sitting on the same bench with him, sipping wine, especially when he raised his head and smiled with her and called her Ma Girl, Ma Xuanhui.
He nodded in greeting, smiled shyly, and quickly retreated into the house. For some reason, there was no reason, and Ma Xuanhui was such an approachable person, but Ma Xuanhui actually felt a little afraid of him.
After that, Chen Ping'an took the millet grains to the old Zhanglu's house where Pushan Yuncaotang stayed at Mi Xuefeng.
When Tan Rong saw Chen Ping'an, he smiled bitterly and clasped his fists, saying, "How disrespectful. It makes people laugh."
Chen Pingan returned the salute with cupped fists and said apologetically: "In the Yuncaotang earlier, I didn't mean to conceal my identity."
Tan Rong said: "Can I ask Mr. Chen for... several seals?"
The old monk wanted to say a seal, but he quickly changed his mind when the words came to his lips.
Chen Pingan nodded in agreement and asked Tan Zhanglu if he had any favorite seals. Tan Rong only said that it all depends on Mr. Chen's free expression.
On the Mi Xuefeng side, there is a relatively rare large mansion with a deep courtyard and winding verandahs. It is specially used to receive the monks of the large sect's genealogy.
It had been idle at first, but when the monks from the Jade Gui Sect came to watch the ceremony, it came in handy.
During a night visit, Chen Ping'an met Yu Guizong's ancestral hall enshrinement, Yu Pu Realm Wang Ji.
There is also the master of Jiuyi Peak, a genius swordsman who can only be regarded as a child, Qiu Zhi.
As well as the direct disciples of Wei Ying, the contemporary leader of the Yugui Sect, two young Jindan realm swordsmen, senior brother Wei Gusu and junior sister Wei Xianyou.
There is also an old man named Zhang Fenggu, whose Taoist name is "Old Elephant", sitting in the main seat.
In addition, the "young master" Jiang Heng and his party from Yunku Blessed Land, as well as the Great Sword Immortal Xu Xie, who was an outsider of Yugui Sect, did not show up.
Regarding the old patriarch of the Yugui Sect, who is of the same generation as the old patriarch Xun Yuan, he is an immortal.
The reason why Zhang Fengguzhi didn't show up in the previous battle when the demon clan besieged Yu Guizong was that the old monk had his own reasons.
Because of this person's fundamental knowledge, Qing Tong took the initiative to reveal the secret.
It is said that in the past, the largest dynasty in Tongye Island built an elephant house. Over time, each one had its own spirituality. With the monarch, immortal masters, and other elephants, all the elephants could perform the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. Only one old elephant still looked like an ancient person.
It was a gift. Therefore, that dynasty had its masters paint paintings to commemorate the elephants. Most of them were large and charming, but this old elephant was completely different.
It was just the first time Chen Pingan saw this child named Qiu Zhi, and he felt a little close to him.
There's something special about it at first sight.
As for Qiu Zhi, after seeing the famous Yin Guan with his own eyes, he was almost the same. He was very different from the image of Yin Guan, Sword Immortal and Sect Master that he had imagined.
Even if you don't feel domineering and don't show off your edge, even if you are a well-educated person, reserved, chatty, willing to be kind, and approachable, it will be difficult to make Qiu Zhi sincerely feel like the young elder on the mountain in front of you.
, seems to be on an equal footing with others all the time.
When Chen Pingan was chatting with Zhang Fenggu and Wang Ji, he couldn't help but look at Qiu Zhi.
Such a young child is already a Dragon Gate realm sword cultivator.
And it seems that Qiu Zhi has already touched the bottleneck of Longmen Realm, and will soon reach the golden elixir.
Chen Pingan almost blurted out that he would go to Jade Guizong Jiuyifeng to attend the ceremony in the future.
Just thinking about the purpose of the other party's trip, Chen Ping'an had to forcibly hold back these words and only said something that seemed to be very polite. There is a successor to Yu Guizong.
After saying goodbye and leaving, he found Yao Xianzhi with the millet grains. Chen Pingan asked softly: "Is the old general asleep?"
Yao Xianzhi nodded and said with helplessness on his face: "I finally fell asleep because grandpa finally had some idea about the excavation of Dadu. I originally planned to stay up until dawn, but grandpa is old after all and can't fight off the sleepiness.
"
Chen Ping'an chuckled softly and said: "When the old general wakes up in the morning, tell him that the construction of the dam in Tongyezhou will be left to me and Xiandu Shan."
Yao Xianzhi's face was full of surprise, "Seriously?!"
Chen Ping'an laughed and said, "Is this something you can joke about?"
In the wing room opposite Yao Xian's house, the lights were yellow, faintly shining through the window paper.
It was Li Xiling, the old minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was still reading at night.
The old man also has another identity. He is the uncle of the current Emperor Daquan.
Lao Shangshu once personally accompanied Cui Dongshan on a trip to the Northern Jin Dynasty. It was through this person's matchmaking that he bought an old mountain, which is today's Diao Miao Mountain.
The new king of the Northern Jin Dynasty was very courageous and only offered fifty grain rain coins. He also hinted that Master Cui would only need two hundred grain rain coins if he was willing to take over all the old Five Mountains.
This is not a sale, it is equivalent to giving it away for free.
It’s just that for certain transactions in the world, many times, it’s really not just about money.
For example, if there is only one mountain where the Golden Elixir Earth Immortal sits, even if the price doubles or even quadruples, the Northern Jin Dynasty offers 800 grain rain coins to buy the five old mountains in a package.
It is estimated that everyone from the emperor himself to the government and the public would only feel that he was humiliating the Northern Jin Dynasty, or even provoking the Northern Jin Dynasty.
The old minister, who was reading a book at night and watching the New Year's Eve, had a profound family background, rich collections and fine connoisseurship. He was the most powerful son of the Daquan Dynasty, and he was also recognized as a young prodigy and a talented man. Until he met Yao Xianzhi's aunt, he completely stopped.
Well, in order to marry her, because the Yao family in the border army abided by a family ancestral motto, they were unwilling and did not dare to marry a high-ranking family in the capital, and were worried about being jealous of the Daquan Li family, so they went through a lot of bumps and bumps. Fortunately, there was still love.
People eventually get married.
However, as the Minister of Rites, Li Xiling, because his father was the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, now in Daquan Court, many things are not just close to His Majesty the Emperor. Most of his disciples, former officials, vague party members, and the elders of the previous dynasty have taken refuge in Li Xiling.
Under the sect, there are also a group of young and middle-aged civil servants, as well as several generals from the frontier army. From the temple to the local area, they have generally formed three forces, which are intertwined. Because it is rare for a woman to become emperor in the Daquan Dynasty, the former relative Yao Yao
The clan has become the current royal family, headed by Yao Xianzhi, who serves as the governor of the capital.
Chen Ping'an left the millet grains with Yao Xianzhi, and went to knock on the door opposite. After seeing the old man coming out in robes, he bowed and said: "Chen Ping'an, who is of the literary sage lineage, has met Li Shangshu."
Because Li Xiling went to Dafu Academy to study when he was young and studied under a gentleman of the academy, so he was not only a Confucian disciple in the broad sense, but also a disciple of the academy.
As a scholar who reads the books of sages every day, Li Xiling must not show timidity no matter who he meets.
The old minister, who had been deliberately sullen at first, suddenly smiled and bowed quickly in return. However, when he stood up, the old man had slightly subdued his smile and said, "I can't afford it. I definitely can't afford this great gift from Mr. Chen."
There was no shortage of topics to talk about with Li Xiling. After all, Chen Pingan was very familiar with the Daquan Dynasty, so he was dragged into chatting with the old minister for a full hour before Chen Pingan was able to escape.
After that, Chen Ping'an took Xiaomi Li to Pei Qian's place and found that Cao Qinglang was also sitting by the brazier, and there was the Mi Da Sword Fairy who seemed to be waiting here.
Xiaomi Li began to take out the melon seeds from the cotton cross-body bag, divided the melon seeds and ate them!
Except for those who stayed in Luolu Mountain and Qilong Lane, Zheng Dafeng was in Colorful World. Chief Zhou and Wei Xian all went to Barbaric World.
In the past, Lu Baixiang, one of the four people who made the Lotus Flower Blessed Land Picture Scroll, along with Yuan Baoyuanlai and his two direct disciples, formed his own sect.
Among the nine sword immortal embryos brought back by Chen Ping'an from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Yu Qingzhang and He Xiangting have already become apprentices in Luopo Mountain and worshiped Yu Yue, and followed the old sword cultivator to travel to other continents.
Chen Lingjun and Guo Zhujiu, who is Chen Ping'an's current disciple, are still watching the opening ceremony of the Huangliang Sect on the Lou Mountain side of Aquarius Continent.
Unknowingly, time passed by, and thanks to Xiao Mili’s cotton satchel, he had a “rich family background”.
At dawn, the sky is bright outside.
A waning moon is hanging in the sky with a few stars, the spring mountain smoke is about to close, and in the human world outside the mountains, the moon is retreating from the Maodian with the sound of roosters.
Chen Pingan stood up and said with a smile: "I'm going to take a rest."
About half an hour before the next sect celebration, the genealogical members of Luopo Mountain and Xiandu Mountain, as well as the guests attending the ceremony, began to arrive at the square outside the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall one after another.
In fact, the first group of people there were Xiaomi Li. They were still an hour away, but they had already arrived here. In addition to Xiao Mili, there were also Bai Xuan, Chai Wu, and Sun Chun Wang. They were a small mountain.
Head.
Of course, there is also Jia Sheng, who is busy greeting people early in the morning.
Zhongqiu always arrives at the square a little later than Jia Lao Shenxian.
When he was about to serve as the accountant of the next sect, Master Zhong of the God of Wealth arrived, and Jia Sheng naturally stood behind Master Zhong without saying much.
More and more guests who came to Xiandu Mountain to watch the ceremony appeared in the square outside the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall.
However, some of these guests will soon change their identities.
Already standing in the square are three people from the Daquan Dynasty, the old general Yao Zhen, the governor of Daquan Mirage City Yao Xianzhi, and the Minister of Rites Li Xiling.
The girl from Taiping Mountain is crowned Huangting, and she is a swordsman in Yupu realm.
Next to Huang Ting, stood a person who returned to her hometown from the colorful world and enshrined the newly acquired mountain guard in Fushan, named "Fushan".
A pair of masters and disciples came from the Iron Tree Mountain in the Middle Earth. As expected, the immortal, whose Taoist name was "Dragon Gate", led his disciples to talk about Yingzhou.
Next to the master and apprentice, there is also Zheng Yougan, who is the direct disciple of Chen Pingan's senior brother Jun Qian.
Pushan Yuncaotang, the master of the mountain is Ye Yunyun, the eldest disciple is Xue Huai, and the master of Pushan is Tanrong.
In the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth, the surname of Tianshi in Longhu Mountain is Liang Shuang. The old master has accepted a disciple here in Tongye Continent, Ma Xuanhui with the female crown.
Beiju Luzhou Paidi Peak, a pair of senior brothers, Yuan Lingdian and Zhang Shanfeng.
Jade Guizong Jiuyifeng, the new peak leader, Longmen Realm sword cultivator, young Qiu Zhi. Jiang Clan's Cloud Cave Blessed Land, Jiang Shangzhen's eldest son, Jiang Heng.
The two direct descendants of the sect leader Wei Ying are sword cultivators, Nianjiu and Suiyu. Their real names are Wei Gusu and Wei Xianyou respectively.
The Ancestral Hall of Shenzhuan Peak is dedicated to Wang Ji, who is in the Yupu realm. The Liu family of Aaizhou is a guest of Qishandu, and the Great Sword Immortal Xu Xie is an outsider.
Jiang Heng was about to meet Chen Pingan for the second time. The last time was on Osmanthus Island, one of the cross-continental ferries in Old Dragon City, to Daoxuan Mountain. At that time, the identities and realms of the two parties were completely different.
She was born as a nun in the old Dadu Dragon Palace, Lao Qiu Qiu Du. The old woman's only direct disciple, a young girl named Hu Chuling, nicknamed Jeju, lives in an engagement shop by the Chilin River.
Zhong Kui brought Yu Jin, a fat man with the identity of a ghost and immortal, who called himself Gusu.
Wei Xianyou secretly looked at the Mi Da Swordsman in white clothes and snow.
Really good looking.
Xu Xie took the initiative to find Pei Qian.
The unsmiling "Sword Immortal Xu Jun" saw a rare smile on his face when he saw Pei Qian.
Pei Qian cupped his fists and saluted.
On the Jinjiazhou battlefield, a swordsman and a martial artist fought side by side several times.
In fact, Xu Xie was willing to escort Yu Guizong this time just because he wanted to have a few chats with Pei Qian.
The young great swordsman who came from Jinjiazhou looked at Pei Qian the same way he looked at his very promising junior.
Xu Xie also asked Pei Qian when he would visit Jinjiazhou again and say hello to him then, saying that he was there and had some connections in the mountains.
Zhong Kui chatted happily with the old general Yao Zhen.
Fatty Yu Jin's eyes were not idle, and when he saw the young female crowned Ma Xuanhui, he was filled with emotion.
On the right side of the Sui Dynasty was his disciple Cheng Chaolu. She stood with Huang Ting and took the initiative to ask about the customs of Wucai Tianxia.
On the negative mountain, I was chatting with Qiu Du, an old woman.
A group of people from the Yugui Sect stood together with Liu Jinglong, the leader of Taihui Sword Sect, and Pianran Peak Master, who had a white head.
Bai Shou avoided that Bai Xuan intentionally or unintentionally.
As expected, Yuan Lingdian and the Immortal Realm named "Dragon Gate" gathered together because Master Huolong Zhenren and Guo Loting were old acquaintances.
In the square, after learning that the little elf named Zheng Yougan was actually Liu Shiliu's disciple, many people couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Since he is Liu Shiliu's disciple, he is Chen Ping'an's nephew according to his family background.
The atmosphere of the Literary Sage lineage is known to everyone in the world.
Xiao Mo stood with a group of Xiandu Mountain's latest genealogy monks. In fact, the latter didn't even know who this guy with the yellow hat, green shoes and green bamboo staff was.
As a result, Qingtong seemed a bit alone.
Then the square suddenly became silent, but everyone quickly continued talking to each other. Apparently they just felt a little surprised and didn't take it too seriously.
Because just now, at almost the same time, three people appeared inexplicably, Ai Aizhou and Liu Caishen, accompanied by their only son Liu Youzhou.
There was also a great emperor of the Xuanmi Dynasty, Yu Panshui.
Both parties appeared here in a way that was recognized as the most upstart on the mountain.
Liu Jubao took the initiative to clench fists with the old man Liang Shuang and salute, while Liu Youzhou's eyes wandered, and then he saw her at once.
Yu Panshui walked to Cui Dongshan and Cao Qinglang, who were standing side by side.
There was about a stick of incense left before the celebration, and on the mountain path connecting Misue Peak and Qingping Peak, there was a sword cultivator, Tao Ran, who was preparing to step on the spot to participate in the "mountain opening" celebration.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw that it was the man in green shirt whom he had met once before on the bank of the Ling River. However, today he did not carry a pair of swords, but instead wore a sword on his back.
There are quite a lot of tricks.
The man followed Tao Ran's footsteps and greeted with a smile: "Tao Jianxian."
Tao Ran nodded with a dark face.
Chen Ping'an said: "Don't worry, today's celebration will not last too long, everything will be kept simple."
Tao Ran said: "Whatever, after I offer incense to the statue on the wall, I can sit on the chair and take a nap."
Chen Pingan nodded and smiled: "Of course it's no problem."
Tao Ran said straightforwardly: "As Mr. Cui's senior disciple, the opening ceremony is not a trivial matter on the mountain. Isn't it a bit shameful for you to be so unhurried?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Anyway, I have already finished what I should be busy with. Why should I take a break from my busy schedule now?"
Tao Ran asked casually: "Have you turned on Mirror Flowers, Water Moon?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "No, I can't do such fancy things as pretending to be fat."
Tao Ran chuckled and said, "That's right."
It's not easy to say so openly that you have no money in your pocket.
Tao Ran said angrily: "Don't talk about Tao Jianxian from now on. I don't like to hear it. If it were done before, with my temper, it would be like asking me about swordsmanship."
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."
After going around a small road, both sides suddenly had a clear view. Climbing up the steps, they found the White Jade Square outside the Qingpingfeng Patriarch Hall.
This time, there was real silence.
Tao Ran nodded secretly. Even though the mountain was small, he never thought that the family tradition was quite strict.
As for the guests attending the ceremony, how many earthly immortals can come to Tongyezhou today to congratulate them?
Then we, Tao Jianxian, saw that one from a distance... Pushan Huang Yiyun!
In the past, Tao Ran was a cultivator in the mountains and rivers and didn't want to deal with the mountains. No matter how he didn't recognize anyone, he would not recognize Ye Yunyun, who was both a great beauty and a martial artist.
Wait a minute, why does that man look so much like Liu Caishen from Ai Aizhou?
And that group of people wearing clothes and swords, why do they look like Jade Guizong sword cultivators?
Just to deceive a golden elixir sword cultivator whose own flying sword has been shattered, you Xiandu Mountain won't put up such a big battle, right?!
Next, Tao Ran saw everyone in the square moving towards him. Everyone looked solemn and saluted each other.
On Qingping Peak, the swordsman in green shirt returned the salute with a smile and cupped fists.
