Sword of Coming

Chapter 1183 The most crazy place in the eyes

In Yichi Lane, there are promising children such as Yuan Zhengding and Guan Yiran, who have made great achievements and glorified the lintel, and there are also people who can't wear official robes and can't get a shadow, and they just make money.

Today, when Cao Gengxin was on his way home, he met such a **** who should not mention provoking the family's main beam and burn incense without tearing down the beam. The family can't say how disappointed he is. Anyway, Yichixiang and Chi'er Jie, there are not a few such descendants of officials and generals, as long as they don’t obstruct the eyes of their elders during the New Year’s and festivals, don’t come up to scold them, and if they suffer for a few days in the first month, they will be able to live happily for almost a whole year. The carriage stopped slowly, because the man heard the coachman's voice reminding him that Cao Shilang was not working in the yamen today. The man hurriedly stretched out his greasy fingers to lift the curtains of the car. He was the same age as Cao Qingqing. Dressed as a fox girl in luxurious clothes, she said that she wanted to visit the legendary Yichi Alley. How could ordinary carriages and horses dare to wander here, even if there is no legal prohibition and no courage to visit this alley, men would bring She has come to learn a lot. This kind of behavior has been tried and tested, and it is more effective than aphrodisiac. The man moved to the car window, stretched out his hand and held the curtain woven by Caiyiguo, and saw Cao Shilang walking alone with a purple gourd. How important is it in our Dali Dynasty now? Yichi Lane is only crowded with traffic in the early morning and at dusk, and it is still very deserted at the moment. The man put his head out of the car window, and seeing no one around, he shouted loudly and said with a smile, Brother Cao, he went to my restaurant for a drink when he had time. He just bought a batch of wine from the mountains. In fact, the taste is not inferior to Changchun Xianjiu. Less famous.

Cao Shilang, who was walking in the shade of the plane trees, stopped and turned his head to look, there was a pig's head hanging over the window.

Cao Shilang turned sideways, and when the carriage slowly approached, he tapped the pig's head lightly with the wine gourd, and said with a smile, "Fatty Wei, this is Guining with my brother-in-law, and finally willing to go home?"

The fat man surnamed Wei looked so sullen that he was not married yet. He really didn't brag with the woman and didn't make drafts, and he really played with Cao Gengxin until the big and the small, and the relationship was very strong.

When Cao Gengxin was a teenager, he sold those unscrupulous things. It was this guy who was busy, and now he is the only good person who drinks and keeps accounts and never collects debts.

And the man has a purpose, no matter what official Cao Gengxin is, he never asks him to do things. When they meet, they just ask for a drink. When they meet for a drink, they only talk about youthful and embarrassing things.

Cao Geng's eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't mean to move. He stood on the side of the road and chatted with the fat man, as if he was in a trance. The chubby boy in the past has become an adult with a beard. The only difference is that I gained a few more laps.

Probably because of the lack of earning money, and the fact that the elders of the family have not been very prosperous in the officialdom these years, and they have gone downhill a bit. For many years, there has been no one who is qualified to attend the Xiaochao meeting. Fatty just opened a restaurant in Changpu River. Compared with ordinary people, it is of course a daily gold, but in Yichi Lane, which is full of high gates, it is not even a so-called high or low. Among the disciples, they are all not in the stream. Some juniors, as long as they are willing to run the business in the south of Dadu, they have owned one or two Xianjia ferry boats on the mountain a few years ago.

At this moment, several carriages passed by, obviously seeing the figure of Cao Shilang, and they stopped one after another. A young man covered in extravagance lifted the curtain and greeted Cao Shilang with a smile on his face. , so the young man called the gentleman Uncle Cao, who was close to him.

Cao Gengxin didn't bother to glance sideways, turned a deaf ear, just continued chatting with Fatty, and just left the junior Yichi Lane, who had done a lot of business, there. After taking such a big face with a group of friends, the young man didn't dare to put his displeasure on his face, and he didn't even leave silently. Fatty reminded in a low voice, Big Brother Cao, don't make yourself difficult to be a person, Cao Shilang squinted at the convoy, just raised his chin, motioned to get out of the way, and cool down.

There were several rich and noble young people in that family who served as officials of the frontier in the Dali area. They didn't dare to fart at all, and hid in the carriage angrily, not even feeling ashamed.

The children of Yichi Lane are also divided into three, six, nine, and three. If Cao Gengxin cocked Erlang's legs, it's not because he didn't have a tutor, or because his family didn't see him outside, and when they visited each other for New Year's greetings and drinks, this was because Cao Gengxin deliberately performed the ceremony of the younger generation and did not want to sit on the throne.

Fatty smiled and said, "Why don't you give face so much, it's embarrassing to teach others like me to pick their feet."

Cao Gengxin put the wine gourd on his waist and smiled: "These little bastards, with two stinky money in their pockets, put their tails up to the sky, the restaurant business is so big, they don't even know how to invite Uncle Cao for a drink. It’s okay to have a drink. I don’t know because I almost ordered a baby kiss with his aunt, and I settled the wine debt. I just saw it on the road and called out to Uncle Cao. It’s worth a few wine dollars. Is there such a good thing?"

The fat man asked suspiciously, "Brother Cao, didn't you just pay off your wine debt today?"

Cao Gengxin thought he had heard it wrong, "What?"

Fatty explained, it turned out that all the liquor debts Cao Gengxin owed on the Changpu River, including his restaurant, were settled by a foreigner who called himself Hao Chen.

Cao Gengxin's expression did not change, he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "You probably want to be close to the official hat of the servant, it doesn't matter, just assume that there is no such thing."

The fat man is skeptical, who has the guts to be so fat? Is it true that Dali's picket officials eat dry rice? The worst thing is calligraphy, painting, antiques, etc., and elegant bribes do not understand? If there is such a big battle, can Changpuhe Restaurant be a place to hide? The problem is that it's not good to go to the temple with a pig's head. Who doesn't know that our Cao Shilang is notorious for drinking and accepting gifts and doing nothing. The table is good, and it is difficult outside the table.

Cao Gengxin waved his hand and said, "Don't delay your viewing of the scenery, if you really encounter something in the future, go to Han Liuer, he can help talk, on the ground near the Changpu River, his sixth-rank official can be a third-rank Beijing Officials are all brothers who have played together until the end of the year. If you know the basics, don't be too thin, and tell you something that doesn't make sense. When you encounter difficulties, you treat your brother as a brother too much, and you don't treat your brother as a brother. Let's just say that last year, it was about the size of a sesame and mung bean. I heard that someone was so wronged that he closed the door to drink stuffy wine, and his face was full of snot and tears. Who do you want to answer? When you finally make trouble at home, Uncle Weber will think that you are not clear. All the new friendships in the world come from troublesome others, and then run away to find opportunities to help people solve troubles, I don’t even know What are you afraid of, if you are so afraid of bothering others like you are, don't make money like this in a restaurant if you have the ability."

The fat man said dully: "My father never told me this."

Cao Geng smiled angrily: "The brain grows on my neck, so I can use it more."

Fatty nodded, "Understood, I'll definitely think more about it in the future."

Cao Gengxin said with a smile: "Go home more when you have time, have a drink with your father and talk to your heart, and if it's a big deal, just admit to Uncle Weber that you're useless, anyway, it's your own son. And you are really filial, compared to that. The filial and unfilial neighbors among the neighbors are not much better than them? Also, remember to get married and get married quickly, don't worry about anything, just let Uncle Weber hold his grandchildren, then you will see him on your side, there are No smiley face?"

The fat man hummed.

Cao Geng said solemnly: "Finally, I have to remind you."

The fat man said, "Brother Cao, tell me, I'm listening."

Cao Gengxin said with a wicked smile, "We Yichi Lane is famous for its smooth roads, so don't make your carriage bumpy all the way. Uncle Weber made a big joke when he was young."

The fat man suddenly widened his eyes: "My father?!"

After all, in my impression, he was the father of the minister of rites for many years. He was a gentleman who had read the books of sages and sages, and he was so rigid and pedantic.

Cao Gengxin said, "Don't say it was me."

Fatty lowered the curtains and was so short by Cao Shilang, as if he was not so afraid of his father all of a sudden.

Even Cao Gengxin was no exception. All of them were beaten up by their fathers. The only difference was whether to pull out a jade belt, or use a scabbard, a whip or a ruler. It’s okay to cause trouble outside, especially the fights between peers. The elders almost don’t care about it. It doesn’t matter if the nose is blue and the face is swollen, but there are two things that will definitely be beaten. One is relying on family background and not studying well. , dare to contradict Mr. Jiashu, this kind of situation is mostly on the side of Chi'er Street, where the door is full, and bullying girls of the same age, a violent beating will definitely be enough, no matter how busy the officials in the two streets are, This group of generals and ministers dressed in yellow and purple must be served by family law when they return home.

Cao Gengxin walked to the house alone, as if asking himself "talking to himself" with his inner voice.

Mr. Ma, has Chen Pingan already guessed the truth? At that time, he deliberately didn't say anything in the small courtyard? Because of selling your senior brother's face? Didn't you care about me?

An old master who has served as a staff member of Cao Duzao for many years in Huaihuang County replied indifferently, he has a delicate mind, the small courtyard was testing you everywhere, he must have guessed it, otherwise he will not help you settle the sake bill. I have acquiesced in your pursuit of wealth and wealth at risk. As for me, I am just a shadowy ghost, what kind of senior brother can I be, and what kind of face is there to speak of. Cao Gengxin rubbed his brows and felt a headache. He cautiously asked if there would be irreparable sequelae. Is it because I was greedy and lost a lot? The old master who disappeared without a trace sneered, "This is the end of the matter, and the boat is done, so what's the point of regretting again." Cao Gengxin began to cheat, Mr. Ma, the "earth branch" jade card was a clue you gave me at the beginning. According to the historical background, you are Chen Ping'an's uncle, and it was really settled by the autumn queen. You have to help me. what.

The old master surnamed Ma remained silent. He didn't recognize the little junior brother.

Just like what Cao Gengxin said to Zhou Haijing in the small courtyard, all wine is fake, let alone words.

It's a big gamble.

Because there was no such letter at all, the national teacher Cui Yu did not instruct Cao Gengxin to do anything, and naturally he did not instruct Cao Gengxin to take charge of the Dali branch.

As for the "earth branch" jade plaque and the yard that had been abandoned for many years, it was indeed an important clue that the Yin spirit beside him leaked to Cao Gengxin. Deliberately, he came from the "school inspection" of the secret library of the Ministry of Punishment.

And this aide, surnamed Ma Mingzhan, was a teacher of Shanya Academy before Da Li moved. He was the junior brother of the mountain chief Qi Jingchun and rushed to Aquarius with Mao Xiaodong. Ma Zhan was also a disciple of Wensheng, but he It is not the kind of disciple who has been passed down by himself, and his cultural identity is similar to Mao Xiaodong, who is currently serving as the secretary of the Rites Academy. But with Mao Xiaodong's situation, the difference is one thought, the difference between clouds and mud.

One is already a scholar who can participate in the discussions of the Confucian Temple in China again and again. The key is to be able to meet frequently with the gentleman who restored the Confucian Temple's divine position, but the other has become a ghost who is only a ghost after his death. When it comes to Wensheng's lineage, the younger generation probably doesn't know that Wensheng had a disciple, Ma Zhan. The old Xiucai once came to the capital and Chunshan Academy, and settled down in the Loud House. From the beginning to the end, Ma Zhan did not show up, and the most respected gentleman in his life did not look for him. He may have long known that there is still a ghost Ma Zhan in the capital of Dali, but the husband may not know it, or he may know but pretend not to know.

Ma Zhan still has a hidden identity now, and is one of the temple blessings in the temple of the emperors and emperors of the past dynasties in the capital of Dali.

In the capital, the only person who can talk is the treasurer Yang who is currently serving as the **** of night tours in the Temple of the City God. This is naturally an escape route arranged by the old man in the backyard of the pharmacy. He has become a **** of mountains and rivers, and can continue to protect the family incense. In a pharmacy handed down from generation to generation by their ancestors of the Yang family, the old man in the backyard, although his name was Yang, was regarded as the elder of the Yang clan by the townspeople, but he had nothing to do with the Yang clan in Taoye Lane.

Ma Zhan finally said that Cui Yu deliberately kept me, who was not a ghost or a ghost, by your side to help you manage a Longquan kiln supervisor. Cui Yu must have been waiting for such a day, Chen Ping'an is very smart, of course You can guess, so as long as you can make good use of the branch in the future, Chen Ping'an is willing to pretend that the letter really existed.

Cao Gengxin asked curiously, "Master Cui did it on purpose for you to end up in such a land. After so many years, you don't remember or hate him at all?"

Ma Zhan said indifferently: "It's up to you to take the blame, you can't blame him."

In his "Honor and Disgrace", there was a saying that hurt people more deeply than spears and halberds.

In fact, some silence is more hurtful. Of course, Ma Zhan doesn't think that his husband can't see him, and there is any problem. The phrase "blame oneself" is Ma Zhan's best conclusion about himself. Ma Zhan doesn't even want to see Chen Ping'an, let alone talk about his husband? But deep in his heart, Ma Zhan hoped that his husband would still remember him, but he didn't dare to meet him.

Cao Gengxin said with emotion: "If you can't do it, you should ask yourself instead."

This is from the famous saying of Yasheng.

Therefore, Ma Zhan said a few words of Wen Sheng's teachings, "Sir has a saying, follow the Tao and not the king, and the etiquette should be based on the people's heart. Those who know themselves do not blame others, and those who know their destiny do not blame heaven. Honestly, nothing else matters.”

How brilliant Cao Gengxin is, of course I can hear it. The old master Ma Zhan, who has been living in guilt for so many years, every sentence means something. The sentence is his only pursuit now, and as for the last sentence, of course, it refers to the closed disciple of Wensheng's lineage, Chen Ping'an. For this little junior brother, from the previous dialogue between Ma Zhan and Cao Gengxin, it can be seen that the old master's approval and appreciation are beyond words.

Cao Gengxin smiled and said, "Arrived at the door of the house, how many drinks can I go in?"

Ma Zhan shook his head, "I'm such an invisible ghost, it's enough to be a temple congratulation to the gate, and it's not appropriate to set foot in your wise family."

Cao Gengxin no longer retains the old master who is strict in everything and everything.

Ma Zhan suddenly asked, "Cao Gengxin, with your identity and intelligence, why are you so eager to seek success?"

Cao Geng shook his sleeves in his heart, raised his arms, and pretended to hold a cup to drink, "If you are not satisfied with one hundred in life, you must use the cup in your hand."

Ma Zhan was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "You are a Qi practitioner, and you say that you are not satisfied with your life."

Cao Gengxin patted the wine gourd on his waist, and said with a smile: "What immortal, just a drunkard."

The duty lies, Ma Zhan bid farewell to Cao Gengxin, and immediately returned to the Emperor Temple. The other temple Zhu delivered a letter, saying that it was sent by a Beijing official named Xun Qu, and gave it to Ma Zhan by name and surname. This secret letter, which is hard to say whether it is an invitation or a letter from the family, is set up with a layer of unskilled restrictions on landscapes.

Opening the envelope, the letter contained only three sentences.

The Master has said that life and death are good, and humanity is complete. I sincerely invite my brothers to go to Luopao Mountain to meet Mr. It was not appropriate to reminisce in the capital of Dali before, and my husband misses Brother Ma very much.

Ma Zhan put the letter back into the envelope, and sat in the lonely and desolate gatehouse.

Back then, when the old scholar came to the capital, he appeared on the other side of the building, and on the other side of the alley, the old scholar often twisted his beard, as if waiting for someone.

Later, Wen Sheng went to Chunshan Academy, which was equivalent to revealing his identity in the Da Li officialdom. After that, the old Xiucai stopped going to the alley.

When the closed disciple raised a word, the old scholar who was so talkative on Chen Ping'an's side rarely jumped his feet and became anxious, swearing, saying that this Ma Zhan was in a proper manner, knowing that the gentleman had already arrived in the capital, and it was only a few steps away. Do you know that there is such a respect for teachers and respect for teachers who are students in the world? Is it possible that I, the gentleman, want to find him? See you, see you, see you ass!

That is, Chen Ping'an, if you change it to left and right, or Mao Xiaodong, it is estimated that he will be going to help his husband swear. Chen Ping'an continued to persuade the husband, saying why he was angry with Senior Brother Ma, and took out the temperament and mind of the husband.

The old Xiucai seemed to be really angry. He only said that he didn't see it, but he refused to see it. No one could intercede for Ma Zhan. It's ridiculous. He used to be a good student, although he was just like Xiaodong. , but the victory lies in respecting the teacher and respecting the way. Back then, it was impossible for Mao Xiaodong to move the chair. Now this kid Ma Zhan is a high-ranking official, and he has a bigger frame than the sky, so he doesn't recognize his husband... Chen Ping'an will force him to take him with him. Going to the Emperor Temple in the capital of Dali, even if the old scholar was dragged by the arm of the most doted disciple, he still stood like a loose pine, don't go, let alone leave the alley, as long as I go out of the courtyard today, I can't give Ma Zhan Be a student.

At that time, Chen Pingan had no choice but to give up.

Speaking of his so-called closed-door disciple, it turns out that he can't say anything on the side of the master, and he should be normal.

The old Xiucai had to go back and comfort the closed disciple, saying that it is not the same thing at all, but you can't feel that way, why are you angry with Mr. Ma, and sure enough, we all have to blame Ma Zhan, look, it's right that Mr. doesn't see him...

Finally, the old Xiucai sighed and explained to Chen Pingan, saying that Ma Zhan needed to take care of himself.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said that he had guessed it, and the students were concerned about Mr.

Fallen Mountain.

As soon as Liu Shiliu and Bai arrived, they added a few more white-haired boys to the chronology. They had nothing to do and ran to the top of the mountain alone, wrinkled and gloomy.

That's Bai Ye, who is a big living person. After finally meeting each other, he didn't chat for a day or two, which was really embarrassing.

At that time, in the Suishu Palace of the Qingming World, the palace owner Wu Shuangjiang was more in love with Su Zi's poems, and his Taoist companion, the female cultivator with the Taoist name "Natural", had average cultivation qualifications, but she was worthy of praise. A poem called Obsessed with Bai Ye.

For her hobby, she collected more Bai Ye's latest poems in her hometown, Wu Shuangjiang, who never asked for help, and Xuanduguan, Huayang Palace, and the poetic paradise, owed a lot of favors, of course It's all paid back. As for whether this kind of transaction is worthwhile, Wu Shuangjiang has the final say.

As for why he prefers Su Zi, Wu Shuangjiang said that Su Zi is happy in the midst of suffering, so he is open-minded. On the other hand, Bai is too smooth, it belongs to the extreme of happiness and sadness, but Bai is indeed unparalleled in talent, especially in the fact that he has enough fairy energy and is mighty.

Today, I finally saw Bai Ye who was "outside the book", but she felt embarrassed.

Her current skin is indeed a bit shabby.

The white-haired boy sat on the white jade railing on the top of Jiling Peak, sighing and worrying.

If only I had the face of the ancestor of the hidden official, I guess I have been drinking with Mr. Bai Ye by now.

Zhu Lian took a walk so far, with a stooped figure, with his hands behind his back, and his feet on a pair of cloth shoes with fine needles and threads. It was Nuanshu who asked the millet grains to be distributed to everyone, and they all had a share.

The white-haired boy turned his back to the old cook and waved his hand as a greeting.

Zhu Lian approached the railing, looked at a landscape painting with layers of landscape from thick ink to light brush, and asked, "Editor, do you have something on your mind?"

The white-haired boy sighed, "It's fortunate that the ancestor of the hidden official was not there, otherwise I would be embarrassed."

"The relationship between men and women, there is a house in the house, and there is a building upstairs. The people in the bureau can't tell the truth. If you commit a capital crime, it is the most difficult to prove your innocence."

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "Love is a willful, naughty child. When he grew up, he changed his name to "responsibility" and his alias was tacit understanding."

The white-haired boy grinned and said, "Old cook, I've finally lost sight of it. My dialogue with Bai is just pure worship, how can it involve male and female love."

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "I didn't say that you like Bai Ye, you just admire it. It's a good thing for people who are self-proclaimed talents who don't worship Bai? Like me, you have to prepare a draft beforehand before you have the courage to get together. Bai Ye, go ahead."

Zhu Lian knew very well that she didn't talk to Bai more, and she was worried that Bai Ye, who came from the Xuandu Temple of Qingming, would attract the attention of too high-level people, which would also involve Wu Shuangjiang.

The white-haired boy has now adopted a pseudonym for himself, Konghou.

He clearly wanted the two bamboos to cuddle with each other, but in his heart he regretted teaching his husband and son-in-law to find a marquis.

The white-haired boy shook his legs, "I am so liked by a person, and the person I liked doesn't seem to know how to like each other."

In short, spoiled. I am accustomed to asking people for something, but I don't know how to pay. She asked, "Is this the truth? It took me many years to figure it out!"

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "Yes or not."

The white-haired boy wondered, "How?"

Zhu Lian leaned over the railing, "There are some truths. Actually, it's not that you don't understand. It's just that you have to say it from an outsider like me.

The white-haired boy laughed at himself: "Ha, is it a foreign monk who likes to recite sutras?"

Zhu Lian shook his head and said slowly, "I used to travel around the rivers and lakes by myself in my hometown, aimlessly. One time on the way to the mountain, I met an old monk who came down the mountain in white clothes and held a green piano. There are thousands of mountains and rivers in the world. , since we met, it must be the predestined law, so we stopped each other and talked a little about the Buddhadharma. The result was a good match. We talked from the setting sun to the sun sinking into the mountains. Finally, I felt inspired and said that the old monk recited the scriptures. It is a derogatory word in the market, but it may be in Buddhism, but it is actually a very high state. He said that I have both Buddhism and wisdom roots."

Just listening to the old cook talk about his old stories, the white-haired boy felt a lot more peaceful.

The white-haired boy asked, "Mr. Zhu, in your hometown, there were so many women who liked you, didn't you ever fall in love with anyone? Is it because they paid you wrong all the time?"

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Of course I was tempted, but it has nothing to do with a woman's appearance or family background. The temptation to become a husband and wife and grow old together seems to have never happened. Rich women are arrogant, and Xiaojiabiyu has to wear gold and silver. After all, it is not very pleasing, but some of the pictures are really beautiful. , the group of girls ran to the eaves to hide from the rain, only one woman, Jingchai cloth skirt, stood a little far away, slender fingers with slightly calluses, gently stroked the hair on the temples, and she was virtuous. It's very touching. The young man always pursues the allure of the country and the city, and an old man like me just wants a glimpse of it to be pleasing to the eye."

The white-haired boy gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Zhu, to tell the truth, when it comes to the knowledge of love between men and women, you are not inferior to the hidden official ancestor!"

Zhu Lian smiled and shook his head, "How can this be compared? The gap between me and the young master is a lot worse than you and Chen Lingjun."

The white-haired boy laughed, if you were talking about slapping horses, the old cook would be the second. As for the first, it has now become a foregone conclusion, it must be the old **** Jia.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Zhu Lian pointed to the distant landscape, "The same picture, did the ordinary master see it, or did the cultivator see it and think it looks good?"

The white-haired boy said, "Of course, it's even more beautiful after seeing it with the naked eye."

Zhu Lian nodded, "That's why, the love of a young man is like splashing ink, and it pours out on the paper in a flash. The details are clear, rigorous as meticulous painting, and the words and deeds are meticulous, dare to ask where is the magic."

The white-haired boy thought about it and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's chewy!"

After Zhu Lian put his hands together, he smiled and said, "In my opinion, the real love between men and women is that a dumb person eats huanglian, and others can't stop it, and it's not enough if you don't eat it."

The white-haired boy nodded and slapped his fist, "Take it down and take it down, you must learn from Nalan Yu and take notes!"

Zhu Lian smiled and dismissed it.

The white-haired boy said in a heartfelt voice: "The same person came out of the picture scroll. It seems that only Mr. Zhu, who has changed several names on the side of the hidden official ancestor?"

Zhu Lian addressed Chen Ping'an, who used to be the master, the young master, and the son.

After all, women are more attentive.

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "It's not a name, how can I call it smoothly."

The white-haired boy didn't bother to care about this, and said, "Someone said that the real beauty in the world, when a woman sees it, she is not ashamed, but only feels pity for me. Old cook, is that really true?"

Zhu Lian thought for a while, "I'm blind, and I can't remember a woman's face."

The white-haired boy smiled and said, "Old cook, you are so cheap, you don't practice swords so much."

If Chief Zhou and Xiao Mo had an invisible battle for the great road, then the white-haired boy and the old cook, one was the number one confidant of the hidden official ancestor, and the other was the big butler of Luopo Mountain, and they were actually rivals.

Zhu Lian laughed and said, "When I was young, I really practiced swordsmanship for a few years. It's hard to say whether it is a killing skill. Anyway, everyone in the world says I play swords, and it looks good."

In the study room of "Li Bao", Minister of Rites of Qingluan State.

Li Baozhen quickly stabilized his mind and spread his hands, "What have I done? It seems that there is nothing. Liu Min's request to die has nothing to do with me. Mr. Chen also has to thank me for helping me catch this fish. , Liu Min, who grew up with him, is still very dangerous. Not asking for anything means that there is no clue to follow, pure malice means that Liu Min's Taoism is pure, the later he speaks, the bitten The more it hurts."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Li Zhizao, you are called a thief with a guilty conscience."

Li Baozhen bent his fingers, tapped the chair handle lightly, and asked, "Your means of isolating heaven and earth is... a magical power?"

Li Baozhen can still understand a little bit if he doesn't use his inner voice, but what if it's his own thoughts? In the dark, Li Baozhen was extremely sure of his thoughts, and they were all blocked by Chen Ping'an.

The first time he saw Chen Ping'an, Li Baozhen was indeed a little flustered, and he subconsciously wanted to move the rescuers, of course his elder brother Li Xisheng.

To this day, Li Baozhen is still not sure about the big brother's roots. He only knows one thing. No matter who he encounters, what he encounters, or what difficulties he encounters, as long as Li Xisheng comes forward, it will be fine.

This mentality is exactly the same as that of Baidicheng Liu Chicheng. It doesn't matter if you have something to do, there are senior brothers there anyway.

Chen Ping'an ignored Li Baozhen, walked to the table, looked at the two bowls, nodded and smiled, "Very impressive. If Gu Can sees it, she will probably consider Li Zhizhi as a confidant."

Li Baozhen's face changed slightly.

Xiao Mohuai held the green bamboo stick, leaned back against the door, smiled, and looked at the same age as his son.

According to the sage language, a gentleman can be deceived, and there is an old saying in the market that has a similar meaning, it is better to provoke a gentleman than a villain.

Chen Ping'an turned around and leaned against the table, with his arms wrapped around his sleeves, and looked at Liu Min, "What do you think, you were told by Li Baozhen, and you just have pure malice towards me?"

Liu Min said: "Li Baozhen will definitely kill me, then I must save myself. This is the last question my master gave me."

Chen Ping'an asked: "After solving the problem, what about after the difficulties? Mr. Liu has plans for you?"

"My master has no plans."

Liu Min shook her head and said, "I will join Mr. Chen's Luopao Mountain and be a completely non-existent person with no deadline."

Chen Ping'an was dumbfounded for a while, how could he be so rude.

Liu Min said: "If the realm is high, everything can come true, and the world is not this world. What the patriarchs of the three religions want to do in the fourteenth realm, why should there be a Zhongtu Confucian Temple in Haoran, and why should Qingming have a Baiyu Jing? I When I went to Luopo Mountain, of course Mr. Chen could not use Liu Min, and I would definitely not superfluous in anything, but Luo Po Mountain must have a presence similar to Liu Min, just in case. If Luo Po Mountain never created the next sect, Cui The gentleman never left Luopao Mountain and went to Tongye Continent to spread branches and leaves, and Luopao Mountain has me or not, it really makes no difference."

Chen Ping'an was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It sounds very reasonable, there are benefits without harm, but I don't agree."

Liu Min said: "Then I will wait patiently, choose to concentrate on cultivation in Huaihuang County, and wait for the day when Mr. Chen thinks I am useful. Once it is useful, it will be of great use."

Chen Pingan asked, "Then I'm even more curious, what do you want?"

Liu Min pointed at Chen Ping'an's cloth shoes.

Chen Pingan turned his head and asked with a smile, "Li Zhizao, can you guess the answer?"

Li Baozhen shook his head, this Liu Min is probably insane, how can I guess.

However, he found that Chen Ping'an at the moment seemed to have changed a person. To be precise, he had finally changed back to a person.

This made Li Baozhen's heartstrings tense to the point that they were about to break.

"It's like a trivial ant, but because it is stepping on the back of Mr. Chen's shoe, the ant can take advantage of the opportunity to see the scenery farther and higher."

Liu Min's eyes were hot, and she said solemnly: "I believe that one day, as long as you follow in Mr. Chen's footsteps, you can accomplish a feat that I can't imagine now. But at a certain moment in the future that can be called a 'big joint', there must be a place for me, Liu Min, between heaven and earth. It may be that I have done something, said a certain sentence, in the mighty torrent of history. Among them, Liu Min can prove that she has been to the world once, and changed the direction of the river to a certain extent!"

Xiao Mo thought it was very interesting, and after listening to Jun's words, it was a worthwhile trip, so he said in his heart: "Young Master, it is Liu Min's sincerity without a doubt."

Chen Ping'an turned around again, bowed his head and bent down, staring at the two bowls on the table, one bowl of white water and one bowl of ink, stretched out his finger to dip a drop of ink, moved his finger, the drop of ink on the belly of the finger, on the surface of the white bowl, Before he could fall, he turned his back to Li Baozhen and Liu Min, his voice was smiling, "You two, guess what each of you wants for each other's life and death, you can just give the answer in your heart, anyway, Xiao Mo can hear it, There are only four answers, and it is not difficult to guess. It is nothing more than Li Baozhen giving birth to Liu Minsheng, Li Baozhen dead and Liu Minsheng alive, Li Baozhen and Liu Mining all dead, Li Baozhen and Liu Mining all alive. If the two sides have different answers, but Li Zhizao guessed, If you can live, Liu Min will die. On the other hand, if Li Zhizao dies, Liu Min will live. But if there is such a coincidence, your choice is the same, and both will die."

Li Baozhen said with a sneer: "Playing with things is frustrating, let alone manipulating people's hearts. Besides, I'm the Great Li Mingguan, you kill me if you say it?! Who do you think you are?!"

Chen Ping'an just stared at the ink on his fingertips that was about to fall into the white bowl, "Then change to an easier guess, you two must be proficient in arithmetic, I believe the difficulty will be very small, assuming these four possibilities Sex, you can guess any one of them, it can be the correct answer, both parties can survive, so what do you think the probability of surviving? Zero, one-fourth, one-half, one? To be fair, correct The answer must be among the four options. Why don't you guess the possibility? Whoever guesses right can leave this study alive immediately. Li Zhizhuo will continue to serve as your master minister and behind-the-scenes monarch, Liu Min You can even join Luopo Mountain immediately. Of course, there is another option, which is to not join Luopo Mountain for the time being, in exchange for the death of Li Bao, a minister of the Qingluan Kingdom, who died without a problem. You can guess, first come, first served."

Liu Min actually closed her eyes and looked like she was waiting to die.

Li Baozhen was still thinking about it over there, guessing the so-called correct answer.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Xisheng smiled and said, "Baozhen, don't guess. The question that Mr. Chen asked is wrong, so naturally there is no so-called correct answer."

It is true that Li Baozhen can pass it on to his eldest brother without any words or thoughts, but he can't stop Li Xisheng from being able to fortune-telling.

Chen Ping'an sighed, and his eyes signaled that Xiao Mo didn't need to stop him. Li Xisheng opened the door and saw "Chen Ping'an" with golden eyes and a little guy lying in his bun.

It was just a cover-up method, and neither Li Baozhen nor Liu Min could see the little lotus man who followed Chen Ping'an away from Luopao Mountain.

A false alarm.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "In the future, please take care of Mr. Li Zhizao. There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days to prevent a thief for a thousand days.

Li Xisheng smiled and nodded, "I'll persuade him."

If Li Baozhen was granted amnesty, he didn't want to stay in this room for a moment, so he got up quickly and came to Li Xisheng's side.

Li-Xisheng said: "Baozhen, you need to do things well from beginning to end. Tomorrow, you will first hand over the affairs of the Qingluan State Rites Department, and then go back to the Dali Weaving Bureau."

Li Baozhen nodded.

Li Xisheng actually had some headaches. It is completely conceivable that in the future, when Li Baozhen was at a bottleneck in the Nascent Soul Realm, he would sit opposite to Chen Ping'an, a demon manifested in his heart, where he repeatedly guessed the answer and quarreled endlessly. If he was a little late, there might still be several real arithmetic problems waiting for Li Baozhen. This problem is just a side dish. If he is not careful, Li Baozhen will lose his mind and become an ancient hermit who wears wild fox fur by the long chain of the river of time. "Big Liberty".

Li Xisheng said with his heart: "Zheng Juzhong and Yu Dou left Baidi City and went to the outer world."

Chen Ping'an wondered, "What are you going to do outside the sky?"

The two walked out of the study together, and Li Xisheng and Chen Pingan roughly explained the situation of Baidicheng.

Chen Ping'an asked, "What is the outcome of this competition?"

Lee Hee-sung said, "Let's not lose if we don't win."

Some insiders, Li Xisheng should not reveal more secrets.

For example, in Baidi City, Zheng Juzhong and Yu Dou said with a smile, they have come.

Yu Dou, who was wearing a robe with a sword on his back and followed his master across the world, replied on the spot, which was exactly what I wanted.

Anyway, the two sides met and did not want to say a word.

Twenty-four realms, and among the fourteen realms, they are the ones that are very capable of fighting, and they are not small in anger.

This brief and concise appointment was not stopped by the most holy master, and Daozu also felt that it was nothing.

Chen Pingan said, "This means that as long as Yu Dou sits in Baiyujing, even Mr. Zheng will lose?"

Li-Xisheng nodded and said: "At least for the time being, what will happen in the future cannot be deduced."

Chen Ping'an looked strange.

Li-Xisheng smiled and said: "Seek truth from facts, I have something to say, I have nothing to be ashamed of."

No longer seeing a pair of golden eyes, Chen Ping'an raised his hands and rubbed his face, helplessly said: "What the **** is going on with Li Baozhen, how can I be Mr. Li's younger brother and Xiaobaoping's elder brother, and I can't be someone else today. Get used to him."

Once Chen Ping'an is included in a certain list in his heart, just like Zhengyang Mountain in the past, then Li Baozhen's weaving officer has done his best.

Li Xisheng was obviously even more helpless, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. But don't worry, it's definitely not an example."

Chen Pingan originally wanted to say a few more words, but just thought that the other party was Li Xisheng, forget it.

There are some simple truths like "Pride and extravagance are selfish" and "Smart people will only become more and more difficult to teach.

Li-Xisheng probably guessed Chen Ping'an's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

Chen Pingan suddenly raised his head.

Li Xisheng and Xiao Mo also looked up at the sky.

The battle outside the sky actually caused ripples in the vast sky, and layers of halos as big as a giant lake rippled.

Chen Ping'an murmured, "I thought it would be a more peaceful 'wen fight'."

For example, the battlefield is located in a dojo similar to that of the most holy teacher or Taoist ancestor.

Li-Xisheng said: "The battlefield is indeed located in a secret realm. It was thrown out by the Taoist ancestors, but it is relatively close to the vast world, but Yu Dou and Zheng Juzhong have nothing to hide."

Bai Yujing's second headmaster, once said that he was really invincible, the only one who would be used to talk about things and criticize them might be the only one who had never really fought with the two of them, so he was not really invincible.

The little master of the vast world, Li Sheng. The sword immortal of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Chen Qingdu.

As for Baidicheng Zheng Juzhong, the real body, the yin god, and the outer body of the yang **** already possess three fourteen realms at the same time.

Especially the last "Zheng Juzhong" is like a direct copy of "Daozu".

Zheng Juzhong's heart, art, and Tao.

All three.

This matter, sooner or later, will be known to the world. With this prototype of the Dao in Zheng Juzhong's mind, it doesn't matter what the "time" of the outside world is.

But even the mountain cultivators who have been informed of this amazing news one after another are still not aware of a deeper fact for the time being.

In addition to being the ultimate in people and people, Zheng Juzhong still has a hidden geographical advantage, because Zheng Juzhong's dojo is equivalent to being in the vast world where Baidi City is located, and in the wild world where one of the fourteen realms of Hedao is located. The Qingming world after Daozu left.

The key is that when the patriarchs of the three sects are there, Zheng Juzhong can do this. What will happen to Zheng Juzhong after the patriarchs of the three sects disperse?

Make an analogy.

The realm of the monks on the mountain is high and low, like a majestic dharma standing on the earth. Every Ascension and the Fourteenth Realm in the world, of course, have their own greatness, but almost all the monks on the mountain have their own way. Their respective realms, their dharma heights, have never touched the bottleneck of the sky.

However, the height of Zheng Juzhong's dharma looks like it "can only be" that high just because there are three sect patriarchs in the way.

Li-Xisheng asked, "Did you bring any wine?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "What wine to drink?"

Li-Xisheng smiled and said, "The glutinous rice wine in our hometown is fine."

Chen Ping'an took out a pot of Dong Bancheng's glutinous rice wine from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xisheng. He couldn't help laughing: "It looks like it's coming, but it's not cheap."

Just because there is a golden signboard of "Lizhu", coupled with the folk kiln celadon jug fired in the small town Longyao, it is almost sold for the price of Xianjia wine, and some people really buy it.

Li Xisheng took a sip of the soft-flavored glutinous rice wine and said, "I'm not speaking ill of Zheng Juzhong. Leaving aside his Taoism, Zheng Juzhong wants to seek surgery outside of surgery. I have to be a little wary of him because of the number of cultivation paths I have taken, and all the current and future cultivators of the Fourteenth Realm need to be careful as well, because no one knows whether the single-plank bridge under their feet is there or not. Maybe one day, it will be in contact with Zheng Juzhong's road, and there will be a battle for the road inexplicably."

Chen Pingan nodded.

Li-Xisheng smiled and said, "I have a heart."

I have to admit one thing, it seems that Zheng Juzhong has been the most free for thousands of years.

Li-Xisheng said: "What is the effect of the idea?"

Chen Ping'an said, "Thoughts arise naturally, which is more than half less than that of Senior Brother Cui back then. Try to curb your thoughts, at least half more than Cui Dongshan."

Li-Xisheng nodded and said, "It's amazing."

The former is difficult in the word "natural", and the latter's restraint and cessation are not the sitting and forgetting concentration of ordinary Qi practitioners. It is also different from the Xinzhai of Baiyujing Taoist officials and the Zen meditation of Buddhism.

Li-Xisheng said with a smile: "Aquarius followed Sect Master Cui and the others on the ferry back to their hometown. I will go to protect the Taoist."

Chen Pingan quickly thanked him, and Li Xisheng replied angrily, you are her brother.

Xiao Mo held back his laughter.

Chen Ping'an glanced at the sky, took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and said goodbye to Li Xisheng, who returned the salute.

Li-Xisheng took the lead to leave Qingluan Country and went to Laolongcheng at the southern end of Aquarius Island.

Xiao Mo suddenly said in his heart, "Young Master, I want to accept Liu Min as a disciple."

Chen Ping'an asked curiously, "Is he Jian Xiu?"

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "No."

Chen Ping'an suddenly realized that Xiao Mo was not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also learned a variety of things. It was more than enough to teach Liu Min who was in the middle five.

Xiao Mo said, "I accept Liu Min as an anonymous disciple. He has nothing to do with Luo Po Mountain."

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "I can rest assured that you accept the apprentice. But you have to let him hang for a few days... Forget it, there is no difference, you and Liu Min can just talk about it."

Liu Min was smart enough and thoughtful enough to meet a master like Xiao Mo, which seemed to be an immortal family fate that Liu Min should have hit.

Taking Xiaomo back to Luopao Mountain, Chen Ping'an went to the Bamboo Building first, and then hurried to see Senior Brother Jun Qian.

On the mountain, Xie Gou actually recovered his true face, and in the posture of Baijing, drinking with Senior Brother Jun Qian over there, it can be said that he drank heavily, and he no longer looked like a charming girl.

Seeing Xiao Mo returning to the mountain, Bai Jing just snorted and smiled.

Chen Ping'an called out to Senior Brother Jun Qian, Liu Shiliu nodded with a smile, and asked Junior Brother and Xiao Mo to sit down and drink together.

Chen Pingan hesitated.

Jun Qian smiled and said, "Bai Ye was dragged by Wei Shanjun to see Mr. Da in Piyun Mountain, and the millet grains followed along."

Chen Pingan didn't think about going to Piyun Mountain to meet Baiye. Treating guests like this is too out of place.

Maybe even if the younger brother is going, Jun Qian, who is a senior brother, will stop him.

Bai Jing and Xiao Mo are old acquaintances with Jun Qian. Of course, they were not friends in the ancient times. Relatively speaking, Jun Qian and Xiao Mo are more familiar.

Jun Qian said: "Mr. Mo, have a drink here, have a drink, and you can go to the Qingming World at any time. The old Guanzhu is waiting for you at Mingyue Haocai, an old friend whom you haven't seen in ten thousand years. You can then have a second meal."

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, "You can accompany Mr. Junqian to drink more."

The vast world, the Qingming world, the lotus world and the latest colorful world, the roads that cross the world are relatively stable, like the tributaries of the long river of time that have been built with embankments.

In addition to reminiscing about the past with the master of Bixiao cave, Xiaomo also had two things instructed by his son, one of which was related to the "Credit Moon", the Taoist companion of Sect Master Liu.

Before Daoist Bixiao visited Luopao Mountain, he made a deal with Sect Master Cui and took away the "authentic work" of the bluestone cliff with his supernatural powers.

The blue stone cliff with many pits and "seats" on the Longxu River is commonly known as Qingniubei by the people of the town.

Cui Dongshan, who had carefully inspected the various landscapes in Lizhu Cave, could not find the slightest oddity, and was taken away by the old master.

No wonder Cui Dongshan failed to pick up this big leak. First, the realm is not enough, and secondly, in this old site of Lizhudongtian, there are few people and places that can be called strange and mysterious?

The young man has nothing to do with it, there are always times when he is wrong.

That green cliff is a moon palace mirror that once fell into the bottom of the lotus flower. Inside the mirror is a round of the ancient bright moon with a high rank. A little bit of consonance, the spirit of eternity.

As for how this treasure traveled all the way to the Lizhu Cave, and took root and turned into a stone cliff, it must be related to the last real dragon in the world.

As for Gu Can's guess to Liu Xianyang, it can't be said to be off-topic. In fact, he did guess a part of the facts, and it was related to Xiangjun, the master of Lingfei Palace of Dongting, and Qi Yunshan, the old Baiyue.

It's just that the most important opportunity of the credit month is to return to the bright moon and bright colors. It's just that there is nothing left to return to the master.

Last time Lao Guanzhu paid a lot of money to buy the green cliff, and Chen Ping'an wanted to buy it back again. Previously, Cui Dongshan bargained for it, but this time it was replaced by Xiao Mo.

If there is no Xiao Mo, it is estimated that there is no need to talk about it.

As for the second matter, it has to do with the female warrior Cen Yuanji.

Because Daoist Bixiao was at the gate of the mountain at the time, and he even chatted with Cen Yuanji, who was walking on Jiling Peak Shinto every day, and asked her if her name was Cen Yuanji.

Her surname "Cen" is interpreted as "the mountain is small and high, and the appearance is extremely steep", and the mandarin duck machine is more popular and easy to understand.

Chen Ping'an had been in Yunlou before and asked Lu Chen, Cen Yuanji, and her family, whether it was the Longzhou he moved to, and then Luopao Mountain.

Lu Chen just pretended to be stupid.

Before Xiao Mo travels far, remind Xie Gou again.

Bai Jing just waved his hand, indicating that with her in Luopao Mountain, it would be no accident for Chen Shanzhu to retreat.

When Xiao Mo walked into the courtyard, Hua Hong flew into the sky.

Bai Jing always sat at the table, she frowned and took a sip of wine.

Jun Qian laughed loudly, "I'll just say, he won't be jealous."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Not necessarily."

Bai Jing's eyes lit up and he regained the appearance of a girl with a mink hat, "Really?"

Chen Ping'an said: "Guess, not sure."

Xie Gou rubbed his mink hat and pouted, "Ask Mr. Zhu, and you'll be right."

In the blue sky, two bright moons hang together.

Like the eyes of a beautiful woman, the place where you stare is the world.

The tall old Guanzhu walked out of the hut.

The Taoist boy squatting on the ground is a bit strange, and there are people who need their master to go out to entertain guests?

There was a thin and shabby Taoist priest outside the house. He raised his eyelids and saw a dazzling sword light piercing the sky, and in an instant it was in the bright moon.

It was an unfamiliar face, with restrained sword energy, yellow hat, blue shoes and green bamboo stick, looking harmless to humans and animals, and youthful appearance.

As soon as the old Guanzhu met, he asked with a smile, "Have you ever been slept by her?"

Xiao Mo said helplessly, "Don't talk about this."

But Lao Guanzhu did not let this friend go, "I persuaded you a long time ago, look away, you sleep with her and she sleeps with you, what's the difference, whoever sleeps and who doesn't sleep."

Xiao Mo said, "Fellow Daoist Bi Xiao, if you keep chatting like this, I'll leave."

The two disciples inside and outside the room were extremely curious, not knowing who the other was, how they could make Master so invisible.

Their master is not a Taoist priest who likes to joke with people. The key point is that the other party can still leave with one sentence.

Lao Guanzhu laughed and stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Mo's arm, "Go, drink, it's still home-brewed wine, and see if the craftsmanship has improved a little compared to the past."

Xiao Mo said in his heart: "There are two things that I need to discuss with Daoist Bi Xiao."

"Isn't it the ownership of the ancient mirror and the foot of a little girl."

Lao Guanzhu complained: "Fellow Daoist, I haven't seen each other in ten thousand years, it's not easy to meet again, how can we talk about such trivial things as soon as we meet, it's extremely boring. You really want to be willing to talk about the idle world, even if it's the cheap nephew who is talking about the poor. what."

Lao Guanzhu's so-called cheap nephew, of course, is Bai Yujing Lu, who is calling on the pole to call his uncle.

Lu Chen has five dreams and seven heart signs, one of which is one dream and one heart sign, and it is difficult to tell whether one is one or two.

In addition, the Bone Real Man who hid like a fish that slipped through the net, and the scholar Zheng Huan, who had been taken back by Lu Chen, were the second of the Five Dreams.

Lotus Flower Blessed Land, Yu Zhenyi, who once got the silver lotus dao crown, the "dumb as a wooden chicken", and the oriole who can test the literary movement, is the second of the seven heart signs that Lu Chen manifested from the Dao on the road of cultivation. .

Xiao Mo was pulled and sat beside a wooden table. The table top moved slightly like water patterns. Upon closer inspection, it was actually another lotus flower blessed land that was different from the lotus root blessed land.

Before sitting down, Xiao Mo did not forget to introduce himself with a smile to the young Taoist priest.

Wang Yuanlu, who had just become a disciple of Lao Guanzhu for a few days, was flattered. The thin and thin Taoist priest in cotton robes had already stood by the table with his hands tied. Hearing the introduction of the senior, Wang Yuanlu hurriedly bowed his head. , it was almost a no-brainer.

Lao Guanzhu commented with a smile on his pioneering disciple, "Yan'er is bad, but good seedling."

Wang Yuanlu felt that these two statements had nothing to do with him, but he didn't have the courage to refute them.

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "It is rare to have a good aptitude for cultivation."

"As for the person in the room who helped concoct alchemy, let's not mention it. The only thing that is desirable is that he is still diligent in cultivating the Tao."

"It's a late bloomer, it doesn't delay him to become a rising star. As for cultivation, as long as he reaches the threshold of aptitude, he will have to compete with acquired hard work and a little luck. Since he has the Dao heart to practice diligently, and he is the named disciple of fellow Daoist Bixiao, luck can make a difference. No matter where he goes, he must have a place on the top of the mountain in the future."

The little Daoist boy in the house who was busy alchemy, when he heard these heart-warming words, almost burst into tears on the spot without being grateful.

The old Guanzhu snorted, "It looks like the Taoist friend hasn't had a drink yet."

Xiao Mo stretched out his hand and patted the table, and said with a smile, "As Daoist Bixiao said, let's get down to business first."

Of course it's a drink.

Lao Guanzhu waved his sleeves, and the table was filled with three kinds of home-brewed wine and three white bowls.

The three vintages of immortal brewing are clearly named Centennial, Qianqiu, Long Live.

After listening to Daoist Bixiao's explanation, Xiao Mo first picked up a pot of century-old wine, and drank the other two wines in no hurry. One of the blessings in life is that the hardships come to an end, and the situation gradually improves.

After removing the mud seal, Xiao Mo filled a bowl of wine, raised his head and took a sip, and poured two more bowls, all of which he drank in one gulp.

Brewing and drinking with fellow Daoist Bixiao, I never know what persuasion is.

Lao Guanzhu also drank like this, accompanied Xiao Mo, and drank three bowls in a row.

Lao Guanzhu suddenly frowned and said, "What's the matter, that flying sword?"

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "I took it out and gave it to a little girl with good qualifications."

Wang Yuanlu had already moved, and went under the eaves of the thatched hut, squatting with his hands in his sleeves, his eyelids trembled, the Ascension Realm was purely a sword cultivator, are you doing things so boldly?

Lao Guanzhu raised his hand and calculated with his fingers, "This little girl's talent is good, and she belongs to the kind of natural talent that came into being. If you recognize the status of master and apprentice, this flying sword of your life will not be the same. It's not a free gift."

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "Without the name of master and apprentice, it doesn't matter."

Lao Guanzhu laughed and said: "As expected of a Taoist friend, that's the right way."

The hundred-year-old wine on the table is the least in quantity.

This shows the way of hospitality of the master of Bixiao cave.

Xiao Mo patted his head, got up immediately, took out two greeting cards from his sleeves, walked to the thatched hut, and gave them to the young Taoist priest under the eaves and the alchemy boy in the house.

I didn't show any kindness to this generous mountain senior, one was really poor and the other was sincere when he was young.

When Xiao Mo returned to his seat, Lao Guanzhu asked in a heartfelt voice, "When will the debt be repaid and the freedom truly restored?"

Xiao Mo was in high spirits, and pointed at the table full of drinks, "A table, two Taoist friends, three kinds of wine, wouldn't you be comfortable long ago?"

Lao Guanzhu smiled and nodded, and asked, "Have you met Zheng Juzhong?"

This guy **** Yu Dou outside the sky. The real fight is definitely a real fight, but both sides have a tacit understanding and will not fight to the death, after all, it is impossible to commit.

When they have reached their level, they should not shake their hands too early, except for the few tricks at the bottom of the box. Otherwise, even if it is the kind of point-to-point exchange of Taoism, the depth of Taoism, the number of means, the level of lethality, and the strength of defense are all. Almost there.

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "I haven't met this Zheng Chengzhu yet."

The old Guanzhu said casually: "The ancient mirror you bring back to Luopo Mountain, as for the woman named Cen Yuanji, her roots are roughly related to a certain sect in Zhuzhou under the Qingming world, but Cen Yuanji has some origins. The predecessor of the machine is not as big as the one named Zhu Lu, so Chen Ping'an doesn't have to think about it, the past is over. Lu Chen has always been **** on the street without wiping his ass."

Xiao Mo didn't even thank him, he just lifted the wine bowl and drank it all in one go.

Quite a matter of course.

Obviously, Chen Pingan still underestimated the personal friendship between Xiao Mo and Lao Guanzhu.

Lao Guanzhu smiled for no reason and said, "Reminiscing back then, there was such a long line of people who followed behind the buttocks of Taoist priests with wooden hairpins, walking on the road, winding like snakes, I miss them very much."

Xiao Mo nodded, remembering that the "dumb" boy who walked at the back of the team back then was the current Daozu.

At that time, the small group of early "Taoist priests" who followed the "Xianwei Taoist priest" were almost all enlightened, and at worst they were also earth immortals.

Lao Guanzhu sighed, "The way of heaven is the way of heaven."

Xiao Mo said, "Whether it's your desire to seek the Tao or your fighting skills, you are not as good as him."

Although the guest's words were... truthful, I still heard the young man's hair standing on end, his body tense, and he was afraid that if the wine table was flipped outside, a fight would happen.

Wang Yuanlu put his hands in his sleeves, widened his eyes, and stared blankly at the senior who couldn't open the pot and lift it. After he learned it, he could still be a visitor like this?

They knew very well that this was one of the words that Master and his elders disliked the most, no one!

Lu Chen didn't dare to say it, the female crown Wuzhou also didn't dare to say it, Bai Yujing Tianxian Daoist didn't dare to say it, and even the mountain monks in the whole Qingming world dared to say it.

I never thought that Lao Guanzhu just raised the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Drink and drink."

Xiao Mo's eyes were clear and he said with a smile, "But I'm only friends with the master of Bixiao Cave in Luobaotan. The wine is good, and the Taoist friend is even better."

The old master laughed out loud and was in a good mood.

On the other side of Luopao Mountain, Li Huai returned to the ancestral house with Hu Mei Wei Taizhen, failing to see Chen Ping'an and Pei Qian. Unfortunately, most of the neighbors in the early years moved to the state city.

That's fine, so I don't need Li Huai to explain anything. In fact, when he was a child, when he wore open-crotch pants, Li Huai, who had a big head and a head, often got together with women and aunts and listened to them talking about their parents' shortcomings.

Lin Yupu and Dong Bancheng went to Niujiaodu together and received a classmate from the capital of Dali.

It was Shi Jiachun, who was already a married woman and even had a child. Of course, it was impossible for a woman to make two braids like she did when she was a child.

Shi Jiachun joked: "Dong Shuijing, don't stand up for justice, I have heard of your name in the capital, and if you are so rich, you will not rent a Xianjia ferry for me to show off, so that I can pretend to be back on the mountain. rich man?"

Dong Shuijing smiled and said, "Wealth is not revealed."

Lin Shouyi sneered and said, "Shi Jiachun, you may not be clear, he was Dong Bancheng a few years ago, and now we should call him Dong Banzhou. Don't let the ferry in his name take you for a ride, even if you let Dong Banzhou give it away in vain. You are nothing but a ferryboat on the mountain, you just dig a little money out of his fingernails."

Dong Shuijing said angrily: "Lin Yupu, shut up, don't forget that you still owe me a hundred immortal money, so I'll be happy only if I charge you some interest?"

Shi Jiachun clicked his tongue and looked at Dong Shuijing vigorously, "When I was in school, I always felt that I was the one who planned the most, and I will definitely be able to do big business and make big money in the future. Silver, I never thought that you are the richest in the end, I can't see it, I really can't see it, if I knew that I would have bowed to you at that time."

Dong Shuijing asked with a smile, "Should I go to live at Luopo Mountain, or should I help you find a place in the county or prefecture?"

Lin Shouyi said: "I must go to the state city, Xianjia Inns are all surnamed Dong,"

Shi Jiachun sighed, with a smile in his eyes, and joked: "I knew this earlier, but when I was in the school, I was sticking to you, no matter whether it is Dali Jingcheng or Xianjia Ferry, where to buy things now depends on the price. ."

Dong Shuijing looked helpless.

Shi Jiachun covered his mouth and smiled and said: "I still have a daughter, and I haven't found a good family yet. You must have seen it at the last Beijing wedding banquet, Dong Shuijing, do you have any ideas?"

Lin Shou smiled and said: "Dong Banzhou, what are you still doing, hurry up and call your mother-in-law."

Dong Shuijing said with a dark face, "Don't go too far with horn braids. There must be a limit to joking, don't imitate Lin Yupu."

Shi Jiachun came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he stared at Lin Shouyi blankly, "Lin Yupu? A good Lin Shouyi, remembering that Yuan Ying was only a few years old, it was enough to scare people, but now it turns out to be Yupujing. The fairy master?!"

Dong Shuijing nodded and said, "No, now the nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, and I usually speak sideways."

Shi Jiachun was still childish, he burst into laughter, he finally stopped laughing, reached out and rubbed the corners of his eyes, and waved his hand: "Stop joking, Dong Shuijing, just help me find a place to settle in the town, Chuzhou City is far from Luopao Mountain. It’s still too far, I’m not as immortal as you, the clouds and mists are all commonplace. I get seasick all the way, and I feel more uncomfortable than being pregnant. I really suffer. It’s good to live in a small town and know the way. Yes, I can take a walk every day."

Dong Shuijing nodded and said, "I have houses on Fulu Street and Taoye Alley, but you can pick one if you hang it in someone else's name."

Lin Shou smiled.

Shi Jiachun chose the house in Taoye Lane, and Dong Shuijing offered a talisman boat, saying that Shi Jiachun was seasick, and asked Lin Yupu, who was at a higher level, to help steer.

At the entrance of the house in Taoye Lane, Dong Shuijing opened the door, bypassed a shadow wall made of Xianjia stone, entered the front yard, and asked Shi Jachun if he was satisfied. Shi Jachun said that he dreamed of living here when he was a child. Unsatisfactory. Dong Shuijing handed another set of keys to Shi Jiachun, saying that the house had been empty for a long time, and it was only cleaned regularly, so soon several women from the Zhoucheng Inn would come here to clean the courtyard. Lin Shouyi still laughed, and Shi Jiachun was just tsk tsk tsk. The thankless Dong Shuijing felt aggrieved and scolded with a smile.

When Lin Shouyi asked if there was any tea prepared in your house, Dong Shuijing said that he had never been here before, so he didn't know, so if he wanted to drink tea, he would find it by himself.

As soon as Lin Shou went to rummage through the boxes, probably because the new tea had not been released this year, he couldn't find it, so they chatted with Shi Jiachun for a while, and then went to Li Huai. Shi Jiachun didn't follow, and said that she was going for a walk. She left the yard and walked in her hometown alone. The New Year's Shop in Qilong Alley was adjacent to the Caotou Shop. It was Shi Jiachun's family's property in the beginning, but later moved there because of the family's relocation. After arriving in the capital, it was sold to Chen Pingan.

The woman with crow's feet at the corner of her eyes bought a few cakes at the New Year's shop. Shi Jiachun squinted and smiled, and the taste was still very good.

There's nothing wrong with being a husband and a child over the years.

As for the classmates of the school in the past, one by one, she has grown up, and she just needs to be happy for them.

Shi Jiachun was walking, feeling sad for no reason, missing Mr. Qi.

I heard Lin Shouyi say that Chen Ping'an also opened a school in a small village.

For some reason, Shi Jiachun was not surprised at all.

She remembered that when she was young, she once turned her head and looked out the window, and saw a dark and thin boy with straw sandals wandering outside the door. , he opened and pursed his mouth several times, raised the back of his hand and wiped his forehead, and finally called out Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi walked out of the school and stood in front of the young man. The slender teaching teacher bowed slightly, and the shy young man in straw sandals handed out a letter in both hands.

Zhao Yao, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, called Wu Yuan, the prefect of Chu Prefecture, to drink together. Instead of choosing the official residence of the prefect of Chuzhou, he chose a restaurant. The minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhongguan Yiran, called Jing, the prefect of Baoxi County. width. Ma Yuan, who was transferred from a country to the minister of punishment, has the biggest official hat. He is also the head of the Ma family in Shangzhu Kingdom, so he sits on the throne.

Outside an old school in a small town that had been dusty for many years, the old master, who had also taught here for many years, turned his head and saw the burly man.

Ma Zhan's lips moved slightly, and he whispered, "Senior Brother Junqian."

Jun Qian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When you see Mr., don't be speechless. Back then, among our group, you and Xiaodong were the only ones who were the best at flattering. Sincerely, sir, love to hear. We are not as good as you two in this matter."

Ma Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Now that we have Chen Ping'an, Junior Brother Mao and I can rest."

Jun Qian stared, "What?"

Ma Zhan immediately changed his tune and said, "It's Junior Junior Brother."

Back then, on Mr.'s side, I didn't see you who liked to pose with us juniors so much.

Jun Qian said, "Junior brother is still different from the two of you. He's not flattering."

Ma Zhan asked with a smile, "What is that?"

Jun Qian thought about it seriously, but couldn't think of a more appropriate way of saying it.

Pei Qian separated from her master. After leaving Qingxingguo Jiuhuadu, she returned to Huaihuang County alone and walked in a small alley that she was familiar with. She remembered that she went to school when she was a child, and there was often a white goose here. Like squatting, the two sides chased and slapped each other, such as the enemies of the rivers and lakes met, they were extremely jealous, and they had to fight every day. When the fight started, she grabbed the white goose by the neck and threw it against the wall. Little brother, let you go... Of course she will pay attention, such a well-matched master, after all, is hard to find and must be cherished.

It's just that there was a small incident of losing money later, so she took the guardian of the Dharma to the left and right of riding the dragon lane and took a detour.

At that time, when the master was not at home, Xiaoheitan felt that there was nothing to say.

It is said in the book that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. In the past, Nvxia Pei was alone in the capital city of Nanyuan, but she took grievances as food every day, and she was full, but she could not come to Master's house and patronize it every day. Immortal life, can not bear the slightest grievance.

Saying so, but it is a grievance that is hard to let go, who makes Xiaoheitan have a good memory.

It's just that when he followed his little brother to the Great Wall of Sword Qi and saw his master, Xiao Heitan really felt nothing.

The legendary Great Wall of Sword Qi is indeed higher than the sea of ​​clouds. At night, there are three bright moons overhead, the sky is high and the earth is wide!

When returning to his hometown, the big white goose said that every grievance in our hearts is a barnyard grass in the rice field.

The big white goose also said that as long as a person's heart is broad enough, he can ignore a few emerging barnyardgrass.

Pei Qian felt that what the big white goose said was quite reasonable, at least he had the success of his master!

Going down the steps of Riding Dragon Lane today, Pei Qian went to Caotou shop to greet Zhao Denggao and Tian Jiu'er. After chatting a few words, he found that there was a Taoist priest who was the second shopkeeper in the shop.

The other party claimed to be Lin Feijing and did not have a Taoist title. Now he is apprenticing to Taoist Master Yu Xianwei, not a second shopkeeper, but doing errands here.

Pei Qian walked into the New Year's shop next door, and the little mute who was reading a book on the bench behind the counter saw Master, his lips moved slightly, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Pei Qian just pretended not to hear it, he was a disciple of others, which was really not like himself.

When I was a child, every time I called Master, it always rang in the sky.

Shi Rou was busy in the backyard of the shop, Pei Qian opened the curtain, came to the backyard, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Shi."

Shi Rou said softly, "I'm back."

Pei Qian snorted, "Master asked us to go back to Luopao Mountain in the near future."

Shi Rou asked, "Do you guys go up the mountain after dinner?"

Pei Qian nodded and smiled: "I stepped into the shop by stepping on it."

Shi Rou looked at the slender young woman. Now she is as knowledgeable as someone who has come out of a scholarly family. This was something that she never dared to think about a few years ago.

When Pei Qian was still a little black charcoal, it was really noisy.

Pei Qian took out a gift from his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Sister Shirou, I bought it on the way. I went to the next door first. Sister Jiu'er also has a share."

Shi Rou hurriedly stopped her work, rubbed her hands, took it with a smile, and thanked Pei Qian.

Over the old Dragon City, there was a cross-continental ferry from Tongyezhou. The boy in white with a mole between his eyebrows sat on the rail of the boat, smiling and chatting non-stop, um, that's called flattery, and there was a man standing beside the railing. The woman in red with the jug hanging and the knife wearing a knife is probably called brine and tofu. In such a scene, I was very envious when I saw thank you on the side, but dared not show it. Yu Lu asked Cui Dongshan if the ferry would be moored somewhere in the sea of ​​clouds, because I heard that there is a rare cloud-footed fish there. , He was going to throw a rod and go fishing, Cui Dongshan said that it would be non-stop, but it's okay, we have money!

Cao Qingqing was teaching Zheng Yougan some exegesis tips and reading experience. Cui Dongshan turned his head and said that he did it again. This is a unique mental method that your brother Cao finally figured out.

The village school on the side of Yanzhou Mansion in Yunzhou, after class today, the Mengtong boys dispersed in a hurry, those who fished for fish, and some who put paper kites to go, each in groups.

Zhao Shuxia was walking, and Ning Ji was a little angry for his husband, because there was another Mengtong who dropped out, and it was the third one!

At first, it was a savage aunt who likes to scold the streets and forcibly dragged her own children. Not long ago, there was another one who complained that the husband should not beat the ruler. Today, a parent who disliked the school's unreliable schoolwork arrangements and transferred them to Wuxi Village. Going to school, in the smoke from the kitchen, among the green mountains and green waters, Chen Ping'an rested on the bamboo chair and rubbed his eyebrows. The paper was superficial. Teaching is really not easy. He went to the stream, helped wash his trousers, and also had some excuses to go to the toilet. Mengtong was so courageous that he would not go back to the village school once he left. He only cared about playing in the countryside. When he saw the teacher in blue shirts and cloth shoes, he came to arrest people. Either dodge or run away. But fortunately, there are still many immature faces, a pair of clear eyes, with a similar appearance, reading and literacy every day, and the sound of books every day.

Chen Ping'an turned his head and stared blankly at the string of bells under the eaves. Chen Ping'an slowly retracted his gaze, closed his eyes lightly, put his hands on his stomach, and listened with erect ears. The bells seemed to keep guests, talking to the passing spring breeze Whisper, ding dong ding ding ding ding dong.
