Sword of Coming

At dusk, there were large fire clouds, and there was a river on the earth, winding like a golden snake.

The three sword lights dragged out long flowing fireflies, and wherever they went, there was a thunderous roar in the sea of ​​clouds.

Deng Jianping learned the luck method of the Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi neither quickly nor slowly. Not fast, compared to the outstanding swordsman geniuses at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, but not slow, probably because Chen Ping'an was at the bottom.

Chen Ping'an did not treat Xie Gou as an outsider. She was a typical person who could master it as soon as she heard it. She quickly practiced it several times, and her sword energy was running without any stagnation.

In terms of sword training qualifications, Ning Yao and Xie Gou are indeed the only ones among geniuses.

After Xie Gou learned this skill, he praised the foundation of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. This put pressure on Deng Jianping, who thought he had not yet truly mastered the technique, and asked Chen Pingan in his heart if his qualifications were not good enough. Chen Ping'an was speechless for a moment. Who do you want to compare your qualifications with, but you want to compare with Xie Cixi?

On the way to ride the wind, Xie Gou was a little envious of the green bamboo stick, "Mountain Master, can you also give me a hiking stick? We are all people who write landscape travel notes every day."

Chen Pingan declined politely, "No need, you are not a nosy person."

Xie Gou did not give up and vowed, "I can take more care of him in the future."

Chen Pingan said bluntly, "Is there a possibility that it would be better to ignore the noisy things you encounter?"

Xie Gou was a little depressed, humming haha, and extended his fists, making countless holes or straight lines in the sea of ​​clouds.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "If you are really greedy, whenever you go out alone and feel that you have taken care of one or two other things, you can ask me for help when you come back to the mountain."

However, Chen Ping'an didn't think Xie Gou would be interested in this thing. After all, there are never fewer people, things, and things that I miss today and forget when I wake up tomorrow.

Chen Pingan turned to Deng Jianping and said, "We will take a short rest at Qingjing Mountain, and then we will continue on our way. We will neither cross the sea with a sword nor take a ferry. I will teach you an ancient secret three-mountain talisman that can instantly Shrunk to the limitless land, travel across continents. Your current realm is the golden elixir, which may be a bit difficult, but with me and Xie Gou by your side, the problem won’t be too big. When you land at Nanyue of Aquarius Continent, your soul will be stirred, just right. It can also examine the subtleties of your soul and the yang and yin gods to see if there are any gaps that need to be checked and filled."

After teaching the talisman and the know-how, Chen Ping'an carefully explained to Deng Jianping the rules and taboos on the use of the Three Mountain Talisman. Finally, he told him that the Jian Qi Shiba Stop and the Three Mountain Talisman are both secrets of Luoluo Mountain and should not be disclosed to others easily. Give way. Deng Jianping naturally kept it in mind. It seems that before going to the mountain, I only feel that the mountains are majestic. After entering the mountain, I realize that there are gods on the top of the mountain.

Xie Gou said from the bottom of his heart, "The mountain master really missed it. Deng Jianping's qualifications are average, but he is very similar to the ancient Taoist priests. He has a tenacious heart for the Tao and a pure heart for attaining the Tao. As long as he gets enlightened one day, he will be able to practice swordsmanship quickly."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Then you can give me some more advice in the future. Anyway, I want to kidnap Chai Wu to be my successor. If I have the chance, let Jian Ping listen. If I teach two people the same content, I will make a profit."

Xie Gou knew that his mountain master was embarrassed by his direct descendant, and he laughed and said, "The mountain master can't teach a genius, and I can't teach someone who is not a genius. They complement each other. What a down-and-out mountain cow."

Chen Ping'an laughed and said, "I've seen flatterers before, but I've never seen you flatter me with such a tricky angle."

Although Deng Jianping couldn't hear their heartfelt exchanges, he noticed their subtle expressions from the corner of his eye. He guessed that Master and Xie Cixi were talking about something big. Deng Jianping sighed again, the atmosphere in Luolu Mountain is so good.

Xie Gou asked for no reason, "Mountain Master, you are still so young, and you already have Zhao Shuxia as a close disciple of boxing. Isn't Deng Jianping the last direct disciple you will receive in kendo?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "Now there are seven direct disciples. Let's try to have more than ten direct disciples one day. No matter how many there are, there is no need."

Cui Dongshan, Pei Qian, Cao Qinglang, Zhao Shuxia, Guo Zhujiu, Ning Ji, Deng Jianping.

Among the seven students and disciples, only Pei Qian and Zhao Shuxia were actually learning boxing from Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an thought of something and felt that he must remind Deng Jianping, "You have a junior brother named Cui Dongshan, who is the first master of Qingping Sword Sect. In the future, if he wants to protect you for a long time, or something like that, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, about life aspirations, etc. Just ignore him and just move out of Master. You can also complain to Senior Sister Pei and Senior Brother Cao."

Although Deng Jianping didn't know what was going on, he still agreed honestly.

During this period, Chen Pingan received a letter from Feijian.

Xie Gou probed his head and glanced at the contents. It was a secret letter from his good neighbor Yeyou Shenjun, asking Chen Pingan to give an exact date as soon as possible.

Xie Gou felt a wave of resentment at the end of the letter. It turned out to be Wei Yeyou who reminded him not to delay any longer. If you really want to be determined, it doesn't matter if you delay. Please tell Shanzhu Chen to tell His Majesty the Emperor clearly, Don't let him, Wei Bo, be the unlucky person.

In short, as long as Chen Ping'an has set a date, the Dali imperial court will immediately start arranging the specific itinerary. The position of national advisor that has been vacant for many years and the old chair in the imperial study room in the capital will be confirmed. new owner.

Chen Ping'an silently put the secret letter into his sleeve, and Xie Gou asked tentatively, "The mountain master didn't reply to the letter on the spot? It's okay to just write a few perfunctory sentences. It's not easy for Wei Yeyou to blame."

Mr. Zhu has said something fair, Wei Shenyou is like a long-term laborer for our Luopo Mountain. The key is that the landlord never pays him any wages.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "We can finalize the date as soon as we return to Fuyaolu Dojo. Hehe, we are all the people who traveled to the Lord of the Night, so what's the rush?"

It must be before the fifth day of May, no matter how late it is, it will never be later than this day.

Xie Gou suddenly realized that it was as if the mountain owner had tried his best to persuade Wei Bo and the Zhongtu Confucian Temple to register the Night Tour God's Number, but the result was?

Chen Ping'an said, "You know the Dali imperial court has made a request. They hope that I can show some pomp and circumstance and bring a few people who can fight. But now I am hesitant to bring Jian Ping with them."

Xie Gou frowned slightly and tilted his head habitually. What does it mean?

Chen Ping'an couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this expression. In fact, this was the signature move of the kid in green on Luolu Mountain.

Zhu Lian's evaluation is spot on. The silly son of a landlord's family has a kind of crystal clear ignorance in his eyes.

Chen Ping'an explained, "What happened in the past is Lao Huangli, and what will happen in the future is the most important thing. Pei Qian, Ning Ji, Chai Wu, and Jian Ping are the future of Luo Luo Mountain."

Xie Gou did enter the mountain late, so he missed the last visit to Mount Luolu to visit Zhengyang Mountain. He couldn’t miss it this time. Xiaomi Li often talked about this in the mountains, and was very proud, saying that she was going to the top of such and such a mountain. , his arms crossed his chest, his face full of seriousness, he felt that he was at least a foot tall at that time!

In Luoluo Mountain, Xie Gou will not only wander around with the white-haired boy, no matter whether it is a sudden rain, the new moon is like a frost, or the moon is like frost, and the new moon is like a hook, he only knows the girl in the mink hat who does not know what home is. He also likes to chat with the little girl in black, listen to the unscripted bragging of the kid in green, and go shopping in the mountainous market with the girl in pink skirt.

Landing at the edge of Qingjing Mountain, Chen Pingan slowed down and walked towards the main mountain where Qinghu Palace is located, allowing Deng Jianping to regain his composure.

Chen Ping'an was an old acquaintance at Qinghu Palace, and soon a Taoist priest from the lower court went to the main mountain palace to watch and report.

In the entire Qingjing mountain area, foreign Taoists are allowed to build grass and Qingqing on the peaks. They only need to prepare some local products during the holidays and talk to the Qinghu Palace.

In his early years, before the Taoist priest from Qinghu Palace moved to Aquarius Continent, he was not so easy to talk to. After moving back to Qingjing Mountain, many measures became grand.

Taoism has always placed more emphasis on nourishing the body than the mind. On the way to the mountains, it is common to see Taoist priests doing Qi-nurturing Kungfu to strengthen the body. The movements may seem slow, but they are completed in one go. Onlookers, whether they are practicing martial arts or practicing Qi, will find it pleasing to the eye.

Deng Jianping hesitated to speak, Xie Gou couldn't stand this, the elders were so unhappy, so she wanted to make some remarks.

Chen Ping'an guessed Deng Jianping's thoughts and asked with a smile, "Do you want to ask about Cao Ci?"

Deng Jianping looked embarrassed, but nodded honestly and admitted the matter.

Xie Gou gave a thumbs up and praised, "A heroic man, a real hero. He just became a disciple and asked his master about someone who had lost several games in a row. Why, do you want to help the master avenge you? Big ambition!"

Deng Jianping became more and more ashamed.

Chen Ping'an thought for a while and said, "We don't need to know Cao Ci, meet and talk to him, let alone ask about boxing, we all know that he must be a proud man."

Deng Jianping nodded. A pure martial artist, one after another, his deeds are completely equivalent to those of immortality. Outsiders can imagine Cao Ci's demeanor.

Chen Ping'an added, "After you get to know Cao Ci really well, you will be surprised how he can be so arrogant and calm."

Deng Jianping was surprised. Master actually respected Cao Ci, a peer of his age, so much? Remember in my hometown in the north

Over in Ju Luzhou, the martial arts fighters would not accept defeat even if they were defeated. Even if they were convinced, they would not be convinced verbally.

The common sense of the martial artist Cao Ci, the open-mindedness of the sword cultivator Chou Miao, the gentle pragmatism of the Confucian scholar, etc... Chen Pingan would sincerely admire them, and of course, the land wine fairy Liu Jinglong.

Xie Gou patted his heart gently, "Ha, Mountain Master, in this way, Cao Ci is very similar to me. He doesn't show off his appearance when he goes out and is approachable."

Deng Jianping was in a strange mood and plucked up the courage to ask, "Master and Cao Ci are both enemies and friends on the road to martial arts?"

Chen Pingan was silent for a long time. Regarding this matter, he confided his feelings for the first time and said slowly, "I want to win him, but I am afraid he will lose."

Deng Jianping couldn't understand Chen Ping'an's thoughts for a while. Xie Gou helped the mink hat and explained on his behalf, "I really want to win. I am a martial arts student. Who doesn't want to be the first and who is willing to be second. If you don't want to win, I'm afraid that the highest point of martial arts is already under my feet, and that's the end of it. If I am strong, there are still stronger people in the higher places in front of me, and this avenue has not yet reached the top, and I can continue to walk on it. I don't really like learning boxing, I can’t say that.”

Deng Jianping was not stupid after all. He quickly noticed a bit of "linguistic problem" and asked, "I am number one, can't I continue to reach higher levels of martial arts?"

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.

Xie Gou sighed, "So you are not a martial artist. You practice Taoism on your own and seek martial arts from outside. A world without old enemies and bitter opponents is boring. You have become an adult bullying a bunch of children."

Chen Pingan said frankly, "In the final analysis, I still don't have the confidence to win against Cao Ci."

Xie Gou turned sideways and walked away. He raised his hands like Xiaomi Li and raised his thumbs towards his mountain master, "Massive!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Don't be too jealous when drinking."

Xie Gou laughed heartily. Wei Xian was a bit amused. He often said that Chai Wu's aptitude was as good as his ability to drink, which made Chai Wu reach the Yupu realm in one step, but he was more confused than anyone else.

I heard that Master Chen of Luopo Mountain had come to visit again. The Taoist priests in Qinghu Palace suddenly felt complicated. The master of the palace did not seem to have started refining elixirs recently.

The master of the temple, Lu Yong, was fishing beside the old dragon pond with a Taoist boy who was his disciple. Zhao Zhu, a disciple named "Xianxiu", came here to report the news.

Zhao Zhu is the proud disciple that Lao Zhenren has high hopes for, and the little Taoist boy is Zhao Zhu's most valued personal disciple. The child was personally brought up the mountain during his travels a few years ago. He is kind-hearted and innocent. He has been practicing Taoism in the mountain for only five years. Lu Yong often taught Taoism in person, saying that the child was very patient and suitable for alchemy. The little Taoist boy had a simple mind. The Taoist priests in the temple all said that the master had an irresistible relationship with the young hermit official. Since the master was the guest of Luopo Mountain, he naturally felt close to Chen Jianxian. Being held by his master, the child raised his head and asked seriously, "Master, do we still have the elixirs in stock in the temple?" Don't let Master Chen go back empty-handed.

Lu Yong looked embarrassed and gave a rough explanation. There are many rules in alchemy, and it must pay attention to the right time, place, and people. If any of them are missing, a clever woman will be in a difficult situation.

Zhao Zhu gently patted the child's bun and hesitated to speak.

The old man twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "The child happens to be with Pindao at this moment, and Yin Guan happens to go up the mountain at this time. It is the fate of this child. You and I don't have to be pretentious."

Zhao Zhu nodded when he heard this, and the haze between his brows faded a bit.

Lu Yong went out to entertain guests with several Taoist priests in charge.

Chen Ping'an bowed his head and said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, I'm just passing by. I'm just asking for a drink. I'm not asking for elixirs, and I'm not asking for autumn wind."

The old man laughed loudly and reached out to grab Chen Ping'an's arm, "A bad guest comes to the door. A bad guest comes to the door. As soon as they meet, they beat around the bush and scold the host for being stingy."

Deng Jianping saw this scene in his eyes, and it can be seen that the relationship between Luolu Mountain and Qingjing Mountain is extraordinary.

They had passed by the Qingjing Mountain boundary before, but they did not climb the mountain. The brother-in-law mentioned it casually, saying that this place is rich in Taoism and uniquely blessed by nature, and it is a rare place where dragons emerge.

Chen Ping'an introduced Deng Jianping's identity as his direct descendant. Lu Yong and the Taoist priests naturally congratulated him sincerely. It was a great blessing for the young man to be able to study swordsmanship and practice Taoism under Yin Guan.

Zhao Zhu, who is a down-and-out mountain guest, also told the story of his apprentice, Gan Xing, who has no nickname yet. The little Taoist boy did not have stage fright, and explained to Chen Jianxian that it was the prosperity of the heart, not the heart of the mood.

Xie Gou said abruptly, "Mountain Master, it's strange. The kid next to Zhao Keqing is still good at cultivating Taoism. Why is the death energy on his body so heavy and entangled? It seems to be quite heavy and has been entangled with numerology. After dealing with it, compare Trouble. Of course I can kill this death energy with a sword, but it will hurt the child's Dao roots. It would be better if Fellow Taoist Chunyang is here."

Chen Ping'an actually saw the strange aura in the little Taoist boy, "The human body is like a temple. If the gods don't occupy it, wild ghosts will come and grab the territory. Over time, it will become like a temple of obscenity and go to the sidelines. It's okay if you don't go up the mountain to practice Taoism. As a Ordinary people may be a bit unlucky, but after entering the Qinghu Palace, they are in conflict with the invisible and thick local Taoism. Fortunately, Qingjing's mountains, clouds and water are light and clear, and the earth's atmosphere is mellow, so the two sides will not fight, but just It's like quarreling all the time. If it goes on for a long time, the child will be exhausted and become more and more weak and weak. It seems that the old man has tried to remedy the situation, but in the end he only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. I'm afraid if it continues, he will have to be sent to hospital. The child has gone down the mountain.”

Xie Gou asked, "Isn't Qinghu Palace good at refining Yuhua Pills? Isn't it right to give the right medicine?"

Chen Pingan said, "I am afraid that I have already eaten so that the little Taoist boy can maintain his current situation."

Xie Gou asked, "The mountain master wants to take action? Are you sure?"

Chen Ping'an said, "After all, it's a very important matter, so I have to make some temporary preparations."

Xie Gou grinned. Since the mountain owner said so, it was very safe.

Xie Gou turned to Deng Jianping and said something serious, "Jianping, we mountain masters know a lot, learn slowly. We, the Taoists, have worked hard to learn from Taoism. Don't enter Baoshan and return empty-handed."

The suffix of "ah" is added to the name. I don't know who brought this trend to the mountain. Anyway, Xie Gou found it very palatable.

Deng Jianping nodded vigorously, and as he traveled far and wide with his sword, he became more and more respectful to this young girl. Highly talented, good-tempered, and broad-minded.

Chen Ping'an first asked Zhao Zhu about the child's birth date, then bent down, smiled with the little Taoist boy named Gan Xing, and said, "Stretch out your hand."

The ignorant little Taoist boy stretched out his hand. Chen Pingan first took the child's hand, weighed it gently and touched the bones. Then he put his fingers together and wrote a word on the child's palm, "Edict".

The words on the palm of my hand shone with golden light and disappeared in a flash. The sound of gold and jade vibrates loudly,

At the same time, Chen Pingan said silently in his heart, "Retreat."

Chen Pingan retracted his hand, like a kind elder, rubbed the child's head, and said with a smile, "I live in a quiet mountain, and I am a Taoist who is full of energy and practices hard."

The little Taoist boy nodded blankly.

The child was inevitably doubtful. He looked up at the man with a gentle smile. With such a good temper, was he really a swordsman who could kill everyone?

I heard that there is a landscape minister who has made great contributions in the Qingjing mountain area in my family. He has been protecting the mountain tops diligently for hundreds of years. , must be informed in advance, just to avoid this "hidden official". My master tried to persuade me several times, but to no avail.

Chen Ping'an spoke to Lao Zhenren and Zhao Zhu from the bottom of his heart: "For the time being, I am just using talismans to stabilize Gan Xing's mind. The words of the imperial edict are one talisman with three meanings, and the mountains and rivers are thunderous. I try to take a gentle path and don't dare to let the child live in a small world." The movement was too loud. So Zhao Zhu needs to take Gan Xing to Aquarius Continent later, and then go directly to Fuyao Foot to find me, where my temporary dojo is now."

The old man bowed his head and thanked me, "Thank you, Master Chen."

Zhao Zhu asked his children to follow him and thank Shanzhu Chen.

The child was very happy when he heard that he would soon be able to go down the mountain to play and take a long trip.

In the Qinghu Palace, Chen Ping'an didn't even drink. He chatted for a few words and then stood up to leave. The so-called small talk is not all trivial matters and polite greetings, but more a matter of mentality and position.

For example, Chen Ping'an asked Lao Zhenren what they thought of the old monks and old sects in the south of Aquarius Continent. Lu Yong also wanted to let the disciples of Zhao Zhao's generation go out to experience and practice with the juniors, so along the central route A trip to Du is a good choice. In addition, Qingping Jianzong, Taipingshan, Daquan Dynasty, and Jade Guizong are all places you must go to.

The little Taoist boy's face was flushed, and he looked like he wanted to speak but didn't dare.

Chen Pingan smiled and asked, "Gan Xing, what's the matter?"

The little Taoist boy secretly glanced at his master and master. The old master stroked his beard and smiled, encouragingly saying, "That's it. Master Chen's visit to our Qinghu Palace is just a visit from his own relatives."

trail

Tong said, "Chen Jianxian, let me tell you something. We have a mountain protector who is from a local demon tribe. He seems to be very afraid of you. As soon as he heard that you were mountain climbing, he went out to relax again."

Chen Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked curiously, "Lao Lu, fellow Taoist Xianxiu, didn't you tell this worshiper about the situation in Luopo Mountain?"

Zhao Zhu was helpless, "I told you, it's useless. Our mountain protector has a simple mind and likes to accept death. Not only did he not listen to the advice, but he also said that we were only familiar with Chen Ping'an and Master Chen. In fact, he was not familiar with the hidden people of the Sword Qi Great Wall. I am not familiar with the official. When the time comes, the man surnamed Chen will attack him fiercely. He will not be able to run away. Not only will he lose his life, he will also cause the relationship between Qinghu Palace and Luo Luoshan to be in trouble. If he can't do it, he might as well hide every time. Then Someone named Chen can't come to Qingjing Mountain as a guest every two days."

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and joked, "It sounds reasonable."

The old man laughed loudly and said, "I don't blame those who don't know."

Xie Gou was even more happy. Didn’t he know that our mountain master has two flying swords, called Chu Yi and Fifteen?

Chen Pingan glanced at Xie Gou, and the girl in the mink hat tilted her head habitually, and her eyes suddenly became clear.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to ignore Xie Gou. Anyway, she had a big heart and she was face to face, so she said directly to the child, "Gan Xing, you can tell the mountain guard that the second priest next to me is a wild sword cultivator. She The Taoist companion also has the same identity."

Gan Xing nodded, "Chen Jianxian, I understand!"

Xie Gou suddenly showed his teeth and claws and made faces to scare the child.

Gan Xing remained motionless, just curious, what was she doing?

Xie Gou was annoyed at first, but then he became happy. Hey, it's not good to be too beautiful. You can't even scare the children.

Before leaving, Chen Ping'an gave the little Taoist boy a small pocket sword, which was temporarily forged. He smiled and said, "It's a custom in my hometown. The master who forged the sword will use his own experience and the child's personality and temperament to make the sword." The breath sends out different small swords, which are either fairy magic weapons or good omens. Almost every household needs them. You can keep them in your study or carry them with you."

Then when Deng Jianping sacrificed the Three Mountain Talisman, they crossed the continent in one step and went straight to the top of Nanyue Mountain in Aquarius Continent.

At the Qinghu Palace, the old master smiled and asked for a small sword from the child. The sword was engraved with a line of text, which had a very good meaning. It looked like the handwriting of the young Yinguan, which was correct.

"I am good at cultivating the aura of awe-inspiring people."

Seeing how much his master couldn't put it down, the little Taoist boy reminded him, "Master, remember to return it to me?"

The old man handed the small sword back to the child and said with a smile, "Stingy little kid."

How could the little Taoist boy be afraid of his master? He carefully put away his sword and made a face.

Among the five mountains of Aquarius Continent, only Zitong Mountain, the southern mountain, has only one mountain named Caizhi Mountain, which is the crown prince's mountain.

Fan Junmao not only took the **** name Cuiwei for himself, but was recognized and canonized by the Confucian Temple. He also had the unexpected joy of receiving a plaque titled "Green Mountains in the World".

And this plaque hangs high at the archway at the foot of the mountain. It is in line with Fan Junmao's acting style, which is high-profile and public, without being subtle or pretentious.

There is an endless stream of pilgrims coming here to pay their respects. Without exception, they will stop here and look up at the plaque. Many elders will also teach their children how to read.

On the roadside, there was a young man with a sword squatting and retching, holding a bamboo stick with one hand. Standing next to him was a man with arms and sleeves and a girl in a mink hat.

Xie Gou said, “The foundation is indeed a bit weaker than expected.”

Qingjing Mountain is at the northern end of Tongye Continent, and Nanyue Zitong Mountain is at the southernmost edge of Aquarius Continent. In addition, Xie Gou was also responsible for helping Deng Jianping stabilize his Tao Qi during this process, so this cross-continental journey with the Three Mountain Talisman was Swim, the water is relatively large.

Chen Ping'an said, "Before Jian Ping was weak, he was mostly wandering around. It is not easy to have the physical foundation he has now."

They can stay here for as long as they have to burn incense.

The last time there was a meeting in the imperial study room of the Great Li capital, Fan Junmao served as a lobbyist for the southern countries. He was rather lame and not very competent.

Let’s not talk about cultivation, but only about official skills. How can Fan Junmao defeat those old foxes like Shen Chen, the Minister of War, and Zhao Duanjin, the Minister of Rites?

Once the letter of credence jointly signed by Dali Li and Bing Ministries comes out, how can a certain country's court or a certain immortal mansion dare to go to Dali Capital in the north and ask Honglu Temple to help arrange accommodation?

Xie Gou asked, "Looking for Fan Junmao to catch up on old times?"

Chen Pingan heard a pun in it and asked, "Have you dealt with Fan Shanjun's Shinto predecessor?"

Xie Gou chuckled, "She was more aggressive back then, and I wasn't bad either. Isn't this just the bastard's love for Mung Bean?"

Chen Ping'an asked in confusion, "Then why didn't Fan Shanjun recognize you last time in Lijing City?"

Xie Gou and Xiao Mo were in the corridor outside the house at that time.

Xie Gou was arrogant, laughed and said, "I almost don't recognize myself now, how could she recognize a passer-by who just had a fight. Besides, most people who are not reincarnations of high-ranking gods will lose some memories. And these so-called memories , is the key to the throne of the ancient gods. Didn't so and so say it? It was Xiaomo's friend, that Lu Laosan, who guessed that an illusory but ubiquitous long river of time is most likely the source of countless trillions of trivial memories. Summary and arrangement…”

Chen Pingan waved his hand gently, signaling Xie Gou to stop the topic. Our Headmaster Lu is really willing to talk to his friends.

Xie Gou asked, "Are we just stuck at the foot of the mountain?"

Chen Ping'an said, "The last meeting in the imperial study room made her a little embarrassed to come to the stage. It is estimated that even if we let someone inform us, she would still be rejected. Maybe it would be difficult for the female officer of the etiquette department to reply to us, 'Fan Shenjun just said that she is not here. Mountain'."

Xie Gou smiled and said, "This is her old temper, so I'm not surprised at all."

Chen Pingan joked, "There is a big difference in Xie Cixi's attitude towards Fan Shanjun and Qing Tong."

Xie Gou curled his lips and said, "Whoever I approve or disapprove does not matter about their background."

Unexpectedly, just when Chen Ping'an was about to take Xie Gou and Deng Jianping to stroll in the market near the foot of the mountain, Fan Junmao used a trick and was actually willing to go out to entertain the guests in person.

But instead of going up the mountain, Fan Junmao followed the previous direction of Chen Ping'an and others, and went to the bustling streets of the market. Along the streets, there are incense shops, bookstores, restaurants and inns.

Nothing happens on the mountain, and the world is at peace.

Chen Ping'an put his hands on his sleeves and said with a smile, "It's rare."

Fan Junmao's face was full of irritation, "Waiting for people, welcoming people and sending them off, official articles, full of nonsense, no time to relax, the Etiquette Department is full of wine bags and rice bags, anyone dares to take them to the mountain, what's the hindrance to human relations, **** it, Isn’t the face of my majestic Cuiwei Shenjun not face? Every day I see this and that, and who I see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow has been arranged, and I was asked to review it. Your uncle, they are all things that cannot be dealt with. See you. A few are better than seeing them all.”

Fan Junmao is indeed depressed. Now the chief officials and managers of various departments in Nanyue are all fighting life and death with her back then. Their moral character is nothing to say, but their ability to handle common affairs is really worrying.

Deng Jianping was stunned when he heard this. This famous Lord Cuiwei has such a distinctive personality.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Let's negotiate with the Department of Etiquette first. After seven or eight years of being busy like this, it doesn't matter which country you are the emperor or prince of, or whose clan leader or leader you are, you will all be gone."

"Good people may not be good officials. Of course, it does not mean that official seats must be occupied by bad people. Moreover, many corrupt officials who are good at power actually go there to be honest officials who benefit one party and leave a name in history. As long as they are a gangster The officialdom, the public practice, the mountains and the mountains are the same, and Confucianism talks about a thousand ways and ten thousand, but still goes back and forth on the word 'name and reality', it is a different approach but the same result, it is nothing more than working on human nature and the human heart."

"As the lord of a mountain, with jurisdiction over thousands of mountains and rivers, it is your duty to avoid such complicated etiquette in the early stage. It is too impersonal, and it will definitely not work. The Etiquette Department will also be in trouble. Just wait until others adapt to you. If you are too talkative, it is easy for others to be hard to talk to. After all, the Ceremony Department is only one of the twenty or so government offices in Nanyue. You can remind them appropriately not to be confused about who is older and who is younger, who comes first and who comes last."

Fan Junmao didn't know whether he heard it or not. Anyway, his expression was reluctant, "You are now a high official, let me listen to you."

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "If you really want to save worry, effort, trouble and time, I also have a convenient method. Do you want to listen?"

Fan Junmao said, "You should have said it earlier."

Chen Ping'an said, "You are not worthy of being a divine king. Without an official position, you will feel light."

Fan Junmao glared, "Chen Pingan, have you eaten too much bad food and come up with some bad ideas?!"

Nanyue resigned after receiving the title of god. Fan Junmao would not dare to compete with the Chinese Confucian Temple like this if he did not take the rules seriously.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Then the next best thing is to find a place inside and outside."

If you have a helper who can convince everyone, you can feel more at ease as a hands-off shopkeeper. "

Fan Junmao said helplessly, "Where can I find such a powerful person? I am a tiger. Who can I burn incense and make a wish for?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Isn't this the answer?"

Fan Junmao said angrily, "I came down the mountain just to relax, not to make any excuses with you."

Chen Pingan was noncommittal.

Xie Gou suddenly started to get close to him, "Jun Mao, you don't need to use any tricks. You can walk on the street so struttingly that no one will recognize you. At most, you think some girl is not beautiful if she is not beautiful, but you are really good-looking. Blessing seems to be somewhat similar to the Tiger Empress."

I don't know whether he was fooled by the words "Jun Mao" or because he was offended by the words that followed. In short, Fan Junmao didn't answer anything.

Xie Gou didn’t take it seriously. If a person you like has no temper, doesn't it prove that you have a problem with your vision?

Fan Junmao asked in his heart, "Leaving aside our identities, don't you think that the hand of the Dali court has been stretched too far? The old almanac of a country and a continent has been turned over after all. If I remember correctly, Confucianism Do you like to insist that one master should be famous? The Song family of Dali is no longer the orthodox place in the continent. This is also the fault of Xiuhu, leaving you with such a mess. He promised to allow the restoration of the country after the war. If this was not mentioned from the beginning, what would have happened back then? Who dares to object? In the entire Aquarius Continent, only Song He was still qualified to wear dragon robes. Even if he took a step back and agreed to end the war, now the southern countries must always recognize the Great Li imperial court as the suzerain state. Is it better than the current people's hearts are agitated? Since they are domineering, Xiuhu and Dali should just stick to it and end up turning to the king's way halfway. What did Xiuhu think at the time? He is not the kind of scholar who seeks a posthumous reputation. There is no need at all. Isn’t it unnecessary?”

Chen Ping'an hummed in approval, and then slowly replied, "You were so angry at the time that you may have ignored something I said. Aquarius Island must be mentally prepared for a second war within ten years. . I guess many of you here think I am alarmist. But you are definitely an exception."

Fan Junmao nodded. People who are accustomed to a peaceful world will feel that peace is a natural thing.

Chen Ping'an continued, "Song He came to see me in private once, on a country road. The two sides had a very open and honest conversation. I once directly asked him if he wanted to restore the territory of the Great Li Dynasty at its peak. He probably knew that this issue must be solved. He answered very carefully, hesitated for a long time, and finally answered that he really wanted to, but maybe he and the Great Li Cavalry couldn't do it. When he said this truthfully, Song He actually used some words, and looked at My eyes want to find my truest inner thoughts. It is normal. After all, I am a person who is used to being an emperor. I asked him, what can Song He do with a country and a half continent, and what can Da Li do with a country and a continent? What else could he do? He obviously had a rough idea and his answers were flawless, so I asked him again, what are the things about Aquarius Island that we all regard as habits but are actually wrong? Since he knew that it was hard to deal with them, he couldn’t answer them. He said that he wanted to think about it again. I asked him again why the Great Wall of Sword Qi, which had been defended for ten thousand years, could not be defended, and why the Aquarius Continent, the smallest territory in Haoran Jiuzhou, could block the wild monsters. Did he have any unique ideas? Insights. He was obviously a little nervous, so I said it was just an additional question. You can think about it, and you don’t have to have an answer."

Fan Junmao was silent.

Xie Gou laughed in his heart and said, "Jian Ping, did you hear that Fan Shanjun has been bypassed? She has forgotten the first question she asked. Our mountain master, your new master, is awesome, right?"

Deng Jianping finally came back to his senses and chewed carefully, "Master has finally given the answer without using... words."

The streets were bustling with traffic. From time to time, Chen Pingan would turn sideways to give way to others, or others would give way to Chen Pingan.

Chen Ping'an put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly, "But in this world, in this world, in this world, there are too many **** on the mountain who have become gods and are not human beings. There are especially many south of Qidu."

Fan Junmao nodded, "People who fear power but not virtue have been as common as the crucian carp crossing the river since ancient times. Up and down the mountain, people should be respected by their power."

Chen Pingan changed the topic and said with a smile, "I was copying scriptures in an ancient Luzong temple. A group of big pilgrims asked the abbot how to maintain health. The old monk only said that children from rich families have no worries about food and clothing. If they want to keep fit, what do they need? The exquisite knowledge of self-cultivation is just to sit less in sedan chairs and walk more, drink less flower wine and eat more vegetarian food. There is an old tree next to the life releasing pond in the temple. When the dead wood comes into spring, another layman asked the abbot if it was due to the monk's profound Taoist power. The old monk was indifferent at that time. The answer is, water more."

Fan Junmao smiled knowingly and said, "The real Buddha only speaks ordinary words."

Chen Ping'an said, "We have to continue on our way, so we won't disturb Fan Shanjun from returning to the mountain to continue entertaining guests."

Fan Junmao stopped and rolled his eyes and said, "Even if you are sarcastic, wait and see what my attitude will be when you become the Grand Master of Da Li. Ha, a ship goes east and a ship goes west, and the feng shui is different whether it is good or bad. You have to ask the passengers on the downwind ship." , Will the wind direction remain the same tomorrow?"

Xie Gou quickly held up the mink hat and was shocked, "Jian Ping, what should I do? This woman started to pull Wen. I suffered the loss of being unprepared. Wen can't fight her."

Deng Jianping said helplessly, "Xie Cixi knows. I've never been good at words."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "The water waves rise and fall, the wind comes and goes, the environment changes at will, and it remains motionless like a mountain."

Fan Junmao laughed it off and went home.

Deng Jianping's expression was sincere and his tone was extremely firm, "Master, you don't have to ask us to do anything for our master's Taoism and Luopo Mountain, but as disciples, we can't completely live without this reward. It’s the master’s thoughts. The disciple is dull and begs the master to make a request or two, but he is also kind-hearted and focused on working hard.”

Xie Gou looked at Deng Jianping with admiration. He usually looked at Deng Jianping and said nothing, but he never thought that he was brave. It’s only been a few days since I learned skills from my master, and you’re already teaching me how to do things?

Chen Pingan thought for a while and said, "From now on, I just need to go down the mountain with my sword, travel around the world, make more friends, and mind my own business."

Mind your own business.

Deng Jianping recited it silently in his heart several times.

Afterwards, Chen Ping'an and the others came to a mountain top near Xianyou County.

Going to the county town and knocking on the door of a martial arts gym, Deng Jianping followed his master and found a group of young martial artists practicing boxing and walking, beating their muscles and bones, and shouting and drinking.

But there was an old man, probably the owner of this small martial arts studio, lying on a wicker chair, holding a cattail fan, and actually fell asleep, snoring loudly and loudly.

People who pay money to learn martial arts in a martial arts school seem to be accustomed to this. Anyway, there are senior brothers who give guidance, and they are as good as the old-fashioned sayings of the master of the gym.

Many young and strong men in the martial arts hall recognize this green-shirted guest. They have been here before and have a good relationship with the master. The master occasionally drinks and brags, and will say that the three of them have traveled together in the world and passed countless mountains and rivers. They joined forces to slay demons on the road, and saw many strange things. Back then, he was the one who protected the two fledglings, but now it feels good to hear them call him Brother Xu...

Chen Pingan stretched out his hand to indicate that there was no need to wake up their master. He brought a bamboo chair to the familiar road and sat next to the rattan chair. He leaned back comfortably on the chair, crossed his legs, and began to smoke a dry cigarette. The clouds were shrouded in mist, and his face was blurred. Several times, Turning around, he wanted to laugh out loud and put the old bearded knight out of bed. He quickly got up to drink, and then told him that I had already contacted Su Zidao asked for a preface, as well as poems by Bai Ye and Xin Jian. If I am not strong enough, you must not drink a few bowls of wine first...

Putting away the dry tobacco stick, Chen Pingan held the back of his head with his hands, straightened his legs, and leaned against the bamboo chair lazily, closing his eyes, wanting to squint for a while and take a break from the busy work.

Deng Jianping glanced at Xie Cixi, what should he do? Xie Gou grinned, "It's such a big deal, it's easy to handle. I'll send you to Luo Luo Mountain first."

Just leave it to Gan.

When Chen Pingan opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that it was dark night and he was covered with a piece of clothing.

Deng Jianping must have been at Luolu Mountain, but Xie Gou was lying on a wicker chair nearby, pretending to be old-fashioned, swinging his cattail leaf fan, and enjoying himself.

Chen Pingan asked, "How long have you slept?"

Xie Gou was in high spirits, "Just a little while, don't delay things."

Chen Pingan let out a sigh.

Xie Gou laughed loudly, "Xiao Mo has gone home and is helping Master Xu in the kitchen. The two men look very nice in their aprons."

Chen Pingan squinted and smiled, leaning on the bamboo chair again, "Then let's wait for dinner."

Xie Gou covered his mouth with a cattail leaf fan and lowered his voice and said, "Mountain Master, it's really not me who is causing trouble. When Master Xu saw you sleeping soundly, he called you a brat and scolded you softly many times."

Chen Ping'an smiled softly and said, "You're afraid I'll scold you when I wake up."

Xie Gou nodded vigorously, "Who says it's not the case?"

The road in the world is rough and difficult, but we can be calm if we know each other. The middle-aged will be middle-aged and the old will be old. They all once traveled with sweet-scented osmanthus and wine as a young man. They were drunk, stroking their big beards, wetting their Taoist sleeves and raising their straw sandals.
