Sword comes

Chapter 1059 The most crazy place in the eyes

In Yichi Lane, there are promising youngsters like Yuan Zhengding and Guan Yiran, who have made great achievements and shined on the family lintel, and there are also those who can't wear official robes and can't get along with Yin Feng, who are purely dawdling and just earn money.

Cao Gengxin was walking home today, and he met such a dude who should not only provoke the family leader, but also burn incense if he didn't tear it down. The family couldn't say how disappointed he was. Street, there are not a few such descendants of officials and generals, as long as they don't obstruct the eyes of the elders during the holidays, and don't come to scold them, if they feel uncomfortable for a few days in the first month, they will be happy for almost a whole year.The carriage stopped slowly, because the man heard the coachman's heartfelt reminder that Cao Shilang was not working in the Yamen today, so the man hurriedly stretched out his white finger to lift the curtain of the car. A foxy girl in luxurious clothes, she said that she wanted to visit the legendary Yichi Alley, how would ordinary horses and horses dare to wander here? She came to learn more, this kind of behavior has been tried and tested, and it is more effective than aphrodisiacs.The man moved to the side of the car window, stretched out the curtain woven by Caiyiguo, and saw Cao Shilang walking alone with a purple gourd, he first boasted to the woman, how good was his relationship with Cao Shilang, Cao Shilang How distinguished is he in our Great Li Dynasty now.Yichi Lane is only at two o'clock in the morning and at dusk, and there is a lot of traffic and overcrowding. It is still very deserted at the moment.The man poked his head out of the car window and saw no one around, so he yelled and said with a smile, Brother Cao, he went to my restaurant to drink when he had time. He just bought a batch of wine from the mountain. Less famous.

Cao Shilang, who was walking in the shade of the parasol tree, stopped and turned his head to look. It looked like a pig's head was hanging on the window.

Cao Shilang turned sideways, waited until the carriage slowly approached, tapped the pig's head lightly with the wine gourd, and joked with a smile, Fatty Wei, this is bringing his sister-in-law to Ning, finally willing to go home?

The fat man surnamed Wei blushed, he was not married yet.He really didn't brag with that woman and didn't make drafts, and he and Cao Gengxin did play together until they got older, and their relationship was very close.

When Cao Gengxin was a teenager, he resold those unscrupulous things. This guy 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 something, and when they meet, they just have a drink.

Cao Geng's eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't intend to move. He just stood on the side of the road and chatted with the fat man, as if he was in a trance. The only difference is that I gained a few more laps.

Probably because of the fact that earning money is not fierce, and the elders of the family have not been very prosperous in the officialdom these years, and they have gone downhill. It has been many years without a pillar who is qualified to attend the Xiaochaohui. The fat man just opened a restaurant in Changpuhe. Compared with ordinary people, it is of course making a lot of money every day, but in Yichi Lane, where there are many high-ranking families, you can't even count as a so-called high or low. Among the disciples, they are all low-level. Some of the juniors, as long as they are willing to run the business in the south of Dadu, they have owned one or two ferry boats from the fairy family on the mountain in the past few years.

At this moment, several carriages passed by, apparently seeing Cao Shilang, and stopped one after another. A noble young man lifted the curtain of the car and greeted Cao Shilang with a smile on his face. The two parties belonged to family friends or in-laws , So the young man called the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the close Uncle Cao.

Cao Gengxin didn't even bother to cast a sideways glance, turned a deaf ear to it, and just continued chatting with the fat man, just leaving that junior from Yichi Lane, who had done a lot of business, over there, neither saying hello nor saying goodbye.Having made such a big deal with a group of friends, the young man didn't dare to put his displeasure on his face, and he didn't even have the sense to leave silently, so he bent down and half squatted near the car curtain and the driver, Cao Gengxin still got it Fatty reminded in a low voice, brother Cao, don't make yourself hard to be a man. Only then did Cao Shilang squint at the convoy, but he just raised his chin, signaling to get out and cool off.

Several members of that family served as high-ranking officials in Dali. They didn't dare fart at all, and hid in the carriage resentfully. They didn't even feel ashamed.

The children of Yichi Lane are also divided into grades, and Cao Gengxin, who has an extremely solid official experience, is undoubtedly the first grade. Therefore, when the young man's parents and grandparents see Cao Gengxin now, they are all sitting on the same level, chatting and chatting happily. At that time, if Cao Gengxin raised his legs, it was not because he had no tutor, but because his family members didn't see each other and visited each other for New Year's greetings and drinking.

The fat man smiled and said, "Why are you so shameless, it's so embarrassing to teach others like me to pick their feet."

Cao Gengxin pinned a wine gourd on his waist, and said with a smile: "These little bastards, with two stinky money in their pockets, put their tails up in the sky. The restaurant business is so big, they don't know how to invite Uncle Cao to drink, no It's all right to buy a drink, I don't know how much the wine is worth for me and his aunt because I almost booked a baby kiss, but I saw it on the road and called Uncle Cao lightly. Is there such a good thing?"

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

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

The fat man explained that all the wine debts owed by Cao Gengxin on the Changpu River, together with his restaurants, were settled by a foreign tycoon who claimed to be good man Chen.

Cao Gengxin's face remained unchanged, he thought for a while, and smiled: "I guess I want to get close to the official hat of the servant, it doesn't matter, let's just pretend that there is no such thing."

The fat man is dubious, who has the guts to be so fat?Is it true that the officials of the Dali picket are eating dry food?Worst of all, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc., I don’t even understand?If there is such a big battle, can Changpuhe Restaurant be a place where you can hide your words?The problem is that it's not good to search around temples with a pig's head. Who doesn't know that our Minister Cao is famous for drinking and receiving gifts and not doing business.

Cao Gengxin waved his hand, "I won't delay you looking at the scenery. If you encounter something in the future, go to Han Liu'er. He can help you talk. On the ground near the Changpu River, his sixth-rank official can be a third-rank Beijing official." For official use, they are all their own brothers who have played together to grow up, know the basics, don’t be too thin-skinned, tell you an unreasonable truth, encounter difficult things, treat brothers as brothers too much, it is equivalent to not treating brothers as brothers Let’s talk about the incident last year, about the size of a sesame mung bean. I heard that someone shut himself up and drank a lot of wine. His face was full of snot and tears. In the end, when you make a fuss at home, Webber will think you are a mess. All the new friendships in the world come from troublesome others, and then rush to find opportunities to help others solve their troubles. I don’t know. What are you afraid of, if you really want to be as afraid of bothering others as you are, if you have the ability, then don't make money like this bustling restaurant."

The fat man said sullenly: "My father never told me these things."

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

The fat man nodded, "Understood, I will definitely think about it in the future."

Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "Go home more often when you have time, have a drink with your father and have a heart-to-heart talk, at worst, just admit to Uncle Webb that you are worthless, at least you are your own son. And you are really filial, compared to that The filial and unfilial neighbors in the neighborhood are not much better than them? Also, remember to get married and get married as soon as possible, don’t worry about anything, just let Uncle Webber hold his grandchildren, and when the time comes, you can see that he is on your side. No smiling face?"

The fat man hummed.

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

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

Cao Gengxin said with a smirk: "Our Yichi Lane is famous for its smooth roads. Don't let your carriage bump all the way. When Webb was young, he made a big joke."

Fatty's eyes widened suddenly: "My father?!"

After all, in my impression, my father, who has been a doctor in the Ministry of Rites for many years, is an honest gentleman who has read sage books, and he is frighteningly rigid and pedantic.

Cao Gengxin said: "Don't say I said it."

Fatty put down the curtains, and was exposed by Cao Shilang in such a way, it seemed that 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 parents. The only difference was whether they pulled out a jade belt or used a scabbard, horsewhip or ruler.It’s okay to cause trouble outside, especially fights between peers, the elders almost don’t care about it, it doesn’t matter if you have a bruised nose, but there are two things, you will definitely be beaten, one is relying on your family background, and you can’t study well , dare to contradict Mr. Family School, this kind of situation is mostly on the side of Chi'er Street, and bullying girls of the same age, a violent beating is definitely enough, no matter how busy the officials in the two streets are, This group of generals and ministers in yellow and purple must be taken care of by family law when they return home.

Cao Gengxin walked home alone, as if he was "talking to himself" and asking himself.

Mr. Ma, has Chen Pingan already guessed the truth?At that time in the small courtyard deliberately did not tell the truth?Because of selling your brother's face?Didn't care about me?

An old master who has served as Cao Duzao's staff for many years in Huaihuang County replied in a calm tone. He has a delicate mind. He was testing you everywhere in the small courtyard before. He must have guessed it. Otherwise, he would not settle the wine bill for you. I acquiesce in your pursuit of wealth and wealth, and as for me, I am just a shadowy ghost, what kind of senior brother can I be, and what face can I speak of.Cao Gengxin rubbed the center of his brows, his head ached, and he asked cautiously, whether there will be irreparable sequelae, is it because I am too greedy?The old master who disappeared sneered, the matter has come to this point, it is a done deal, what's the point of regretting it later.Cao Gengxin began to play tricks, Mr. Ma, the "Earthly Branches" jade plaque was the clue you gave me at the beginning. According to the context and seniority, you are also Chen Ping'an's uncle. You are really being settled by Qiu Hou, so you have to help me figure it out what.

The old master surnamed Ma was silent.He and that junior brother had no face to recognize each other.

Just like what Cao Gengxin said to Zhou Haijing in the small courtyard, there are fakes in wine, not to mention words.

It's a big gamble.

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

As for the "Earthly Branches" jade tablet and the yard that has been abandoned for many years, it is indeed an important clue leaked to Cao Gengxin by the ghost beside him. With deliberate deliberations, it came from the "check" from the secret warehouse of the Ministry of Punishment.

And this staff member, surnamed Ma and named Zhan, was a teacher of Shanya Academy before the relocation of Dali. He was the younger brother of the mountain leader Qi Jingchun, and rushed to Aquarius Continent with Mao Xiaodong. Ma Zhan was also a disciple of Wensheng, but It's not the kind of in-house disciple who was handed down personally. His cultural identity is similar to that of Mao Xiaodong, who is now the Secretary of the Book of Rites Academy.But with Mao Xiaodong's situation, the difference is like a cloud and mud.

One is already a scholar who can participate in the discussions of the Confucian Temple in China again and again, and the key is that he can often meet with the gentleman who restored the god's position in the Confucian Temple, but the other is just a ghost that lingers after death. Speaking of Wen Sheng's lineage, the younger generation probably don't know that Wen Sheng once had a disciple Ma Zhan.The old scholar once came to the capital and Chunshan Academy, and settled in the Renyun Yiyun Building. 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.Maybe he already knew that there is still a ghost named Ma Zhan in Dali Capital City, Mr. Maybe he didn't know, maybe he knew but pretended not to know.

Ma Zhan still has a hidden identity now, and he is one of the temples in Dalijing City that worship the emperors and emperors of the past dynasties.

In the capital, the only person who can talk is the shopkeeper Yang who is currently serving as the God of Night Tour in the City God's Temple in the capital. This is naturally a retreat that the old man in the backyard of the pharmacy helped to arrange. If he becomes a landscape god, he can continue to protect the family incense.It is a pharmacy handed down by their Yang family ancestors. Although the old man in the backyard is surnamed Yang in name, the people in the town regard him as the elder of the Yang family, but in fact he has nothing to do with the Yang family in Taoye Lane.

Ma Zhan finally said, Cui Chan deliberately kept me, who was neither human nor ghost, by your side, to assist you in managing a Longquan kiln supervisor. Cui Chan must have been waiting for such a day. You can guess, so as long as you can make good use of the earth branch in the future, Chen Ping'an is willing to treat that letter as real.

Cao Gengxin asked curiously, "Master, you ended up in such a field, it must have been done on purpose by Cui Guoshi at the beginning. After all these years, you don't hold any grudges against him?"

Ma Zhan said indifferently: "You can blame yourself, you can't blame him."

Mr. Wang's "Honor and Disgrace" once said that words that hurt people are deeper than spears.

In fact, some silent, more hurtful.Of course, Ma Zhan doesn't think that his husband doesn't see him. If there is any problem, "it's up to you" is Ma Zhan's best conclusion on himself. Ma Zhan doesn't even want to see Chen Pingan, let alone Mr.But deep down in his heart, Ma Zhan hopes that the husband still remembers him, but he dare not meet him.

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

This is a famous sentence from Yasheng.

Therefore, Ma Zhan said a few words of literati teachings, "Mr. Sincerely, there is nothing else to do."

How brilliant Cao Geng’s heart is, of course it can be heard. Ma Zhan, the old master who has been living in guilt for so many years, has a meaning in every sentence. The first sentence is to praise the national teacher Cui Chan, the second This sentence is my only pursuit now. As for the last sentence, of course it refers to Chen Pingan, a closed disciple of Wen Sheng's lineage.For this little junior, from the previous conversation 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, "We're at the door of our house, how many drinks should we go in for?"

Ma Zhan shook his head, "It's enough for me to be a janitor for a shady ghost like me, and it's not suitable for me to set foot in your smart homes."

Cao Gengxin no longer wants to keep the old master who is strict in his actions and speech.

Ma Zhan asked suddenly: "Cao Gengxin, with your identity and talent, why are you so eager for success?"

Cao Geng shook his sleeves, raised his arms, and pretended to hold a cup to drink, "Life is less than a hundred, and I will use up the cup in my hand."

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

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

Ma Zhan bid farewell to Cao Gengxin, and immediately returned to the Temple of the Emperor. The other temple priest handed over a letter, saying that it was sent by a capital official named Xun Qu, and sent it to Ma Zhan by name.This secret letter, which is hard to say whether it is an invitation or a family letter, has set up a layer of unsophisticated landscape restrictions. On the envelope are written the words "Senior brother personally entrusted", signed by the junior brother Chen Ping'an.

When the envelope was opened, there were only three sentences in the letter.

The gentleman has a saying that both life and death are good, and humanity is complete.We sincerely invite brothers to come to Luopo Mountain to meet Mr.It was inappropriate to reminisce about the old days in Dali Capital, and Mr. Ma missed Senior Brother Ma very much.

Ma Zhan put the letter paper back into the envelope and sat in the lonely and deserted concierge. The old man stretched out his palm and gently smoothed the envelope on the table, tears streaming down his face.

Back then when the old scholar came to the capital, he appeared on the side of Renyun Yiyun Building, and at the entrance of the alley, the old scholar often twisted his beard, as if waiting for someone.

Later, Wen Sheng went to Chunshan Academy, which was tantamount to revealing his identity in Dali official circles. After that, the old scholar stopped going to the alley.

When the disciple who closed the door raised his mouth, the old scholar who is easy to talk about in Chen Pingan's side rarely got impatient and cursed, saying that Ma Zhan was so decent. Knowing that I came to see my husband to reminisce about the old days, who is a student in the world, is there such a respect for the teacher?Is it possible that I, a gentleman, should go to him?See you, see you, see you!

That is to say, Chen Ping'an, if he was replaced by Zuo Zuo, or Mao Xiaodong, he would probably go to help his husband swear.Chen Pingan continued to persuade the husband, saying that there is no need to get angry with Senior Brother Ma, and show the spirit and mind of being a gentleman.

The old scholar seemed to be really angry. He only said that he would not see him, and he would not see him again. No one could intercede for Ma Zhan. It is shameful. He used to be a good student. , but it's better to respect the teacher, Mao Xiaodong was not able to move the chair back then, but now that Ma Zhan is a high-ranking official, he is so arrogant that he doesn't recognize Mr.... Chen Ping'an will force Mr. We walked together to the Emperor's Temple in Dali Capital City. Even though the old scholar was dragged by the arms of the most spoiled disciples, he still stood like a pine, not going, let alone leaving the alley. Be a student.

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

Speaking of myself as a so-called closed disciple, I didn't have much to say on my husband's side, so it was just mediocre.

The old scholar had no choice but to comfort the closed disciples, saying that it was not the same thing at all, but you can’t think so, why did you get angry with the husband, and sure enough we all have to blame Ma Zhan, look, it’s right that the husband didn’t see him... …

In the end, the old scholar sighed and explained to Chen Pingan that Ma Zhan needed his own care.

Chen Ping smiled and said that he guessed it, the students just care about Mr. Caring.

Lost mountain.

As soon as Liu Shiliu and Bai Ye arrived, they added a few white-haired boys to the annals. Having nothing to do, they ran to the top of the mountain alone, with wrinkled faces and a sullen look.

That's Bai Ye who is a living person. It's really embarrassing to see each other without even chatting for a while.

Back then in the Qingming Tiantian's New Year's Eve Palace, the owner of the palace, Wu Shuangjiang, loved Su Zi's poems even more, while his Taoist partner, the female cultivator with the Tao name "Natural", had average cultivation qualifications, but she was unbearable. It is also called obsessed with Bai Ye's poems.

For her hobby, I collected more Bai Ye's latest poems in Tianxia, ​​​​the hometown. Wu Shuangjiang, who never asks for help, owes a lot of favors to Xuandu Temple, Huayang Palace, and the poem Yufu Land. They were all paid back, and Wu Shuangjiang had the final say as to whether such a deal was worthwhile.

As for why he prefers Su Zi, Wu Shuangjiang said that Su Zi enjoys suffering, so he is open-minded.On the other hand, Bai is too smooth, and belongs to the category of extreme joy begets sorrow, but Bai is indeed unmatched in talent, especially because he has enough immortal energy and is mighty and mighty. Those who are successful in life like it, and those who are frustrated also like it.

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

Her current skin is indeed a bit shabby.

The white-haired boy was sitting on the other side of the white jade railing on the top of Jiling Peak, sighing and feeling very sad.

It would be great if I had the face of the ancestor of the hermit official. I guess I'm drinking with Mr. Bai Ye now.

Zhu Lian walked so far, with a hunched figure, with his hands behind his back, and a pair of finely stitched cloth shoes on his feet. It was Nuan Shu who asked the millet to be distributed to everyone, and everyone 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, gazed at a layered scroll of mountains and rivers that changed from thick ink to light brushstrokes, and asked, "Composer, do you have something on your mind?"

The white-haired boy sighed, "Fortunately, the ancestor of the Yinguan was not present, otherwise I would be embarrassing."

"In the relationship between a man and a woman, there is a room in the house, and there is a building upstairs. People in the situation can't tell the truth. If you commit a capital crime, it is the most difficult to prove your innocence."

Zhu Lian laughed and said, "Love is a child named Willful, whose nickname is Naughty. When he grows up, he changes his name to Responsibility, and his nickname is Tacit Understanding."

The white-haired boy let out a hey, and said with a grin: "Old cook, you've finally made a fool of yourself. I'm talking to Bai, it's just pure worship, how could it involve love between men and women."

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "I didn't say that you like Bai Ye, you just admire him. Who in the world claims to be a gifted scholar, who doesn't admire Bai? Just like me, you have to prepare a draft in advance before you have the courage to do it." Bai also follows."

Zhu Lian knew very well that she didn't talk to Bai Ye more, but she was still worried that Bai Ye, who came from the Xuandu Temple of Qingming Tianxia, ​​would attract the attention of too high-handed people, and by the way, Wu Shuangjiang would be implicated.

The white-haired boy has now given himself an alias, Konghou.

Obviously wanting the two bamboos to cuddle together, but in my heart I regret teaching my husband and son-in-law to look for a Marquis, the bamboo basket fetching water is in vain, and the woman is as happy as empty.

The white-haired boy shook his legs, "To be liked by someone too much, the person who is liked, seems to not know how to like each other."

In short, spoiled for choice.I am used to taking from others, but I don't know how to give.She asked: "Is this the truth? This is what I have been thinking about for many years!"

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "That's right or wrong."

The white-haired boy wondered, "How do you say that?"

Zhu Lian leaned over the railing, "There are some truths. Actually, it's not that you don't understand them. It's just that you can think of them as truths from an outsider like me. Otherwise, you'll feel guilty."

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

Zhu Lian shook his head, and said slowly: "I used to travel around the rivers and lakes in my hometown, aimlessly. One time, on the way to climb a mountain, I met an old monk in white clothes holding a green piano. There are thousands of mountains and rivers in the world. , since we met, it must be the predestined relationship, so we stopped and talked a little about Buddhism, and we got along very well. From the setting sun to the sun sinking into the mountains, I finally expressed my feelings and said that the old monk recited the scriptures Talking without heart is a derogatory term in the market, but it may be a very high level in Buddhism. He said that I have both Buddha's karma and wisdom roots."

Just listening to the old cook narrate some old things about himself, the white-haired boy felt a lot more peaceful.

The white-haired boy asked: "Old Mr. Zhu, there were so many women in my hometown who liked you before, but didn't you ever fall in love with anyone? Is it because they always pay you wrong?"

Zhu Lian smiled and said: "Of course I was tempted, but it has nothing to do with the woman's appearance or family background. It seems that I have never been tempted to become a couple and grow old together. The rich girl is arrogant, and Xiaojiabiyu insists on wearing gold and silver. After all, it is not very pleasing, but some pictures are really beautiful. I remember once sheltering from the rain at the temple fair A group of girls ran to the eaves to hide from the rain, but there was only one woman, a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, standing a little far away, with slender fingers with calluses, gently stroking the hair on the temples, with a virtuous demeanor. It's very touching. A young man always pursues the beauty of the country and the city, and an old man like me only wants 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 no less inferior than the ancestor of Yinguan!"

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

The white-haired boy giggled, if it comes to sycophancy, the old cook can be ranked second, as for the first, it has now become a conclusion, it must be the old god Jia.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Zhu Lian pointed to the mountains and rivers in the distance, "Is the same picture scroll seen by ordinary masters, or by people who practice Taoism and find it beautiful?"

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

Zhu Lian nodded, "That's why, young people's thoughts are like splashing ink, and they are poured on the paper with a splash. The calendar is clear, as rigorous as a meticulous painting, and the words and deeds are detailed, so I dare to ask where the magic lies."

The white-haired boy thought about it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are chewy!"

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Lian smiled and said, "In my opinion, the real love between a man and a woman is that a dumb man eats coptis, and others can't stop him. It's okay if he doesn't eat it."

The white-haired boy nodded and clapped his fists, "I wrote it down, I must take notes like Nalan Yufu!"

Zhu Lian laughed it off.

The white-haired boy said in a heartfelt voice: "The same one came out of the picture scroll. It seems that only Mr. Zhu has changed several names at the ancestor of Yinguan?"

Zhu Lian called Chen Ping'an, and used to use master, young master, and son.

After all, women are more careful.

Zhu Lian smiled and said, "It's not the name, so just call it casually."

The white-haired boy didn't bother to care about these things, and said: "Someone said that the real beauty in the world, when a woman sees it, she doesn't feel ashamed of herself, but just feels pity for me. Old cook, is it true?"

Zhu Lian thought about it seriously, "I'm face-blind and can't remember a woman's face."

The white-haired boy said with a smile: "Old cook, you are so cheap, you don't practice swords so much."

If chief executive Zhou and Xiaomo had an invisible battle for the right, then the white-haired boy and the old cook, one who was the number one confidant under the command of the ancestor of Yinguan, and the other who was the chief steward of Luobashan, were actually rivals.

Zhu Lian laughed and said, "When I was young, I did practice swordsmanship for a few years. It's hard to say whether it's a killing skill, anyway, people in the world say that I play swordsmanship, and it looks good."

In the study of Li Bao, Minister of Rites of Qingluan Kingdom.

Li Baozhen quickly stabilized his mind and spread his hands, "What did I do? It seems that there is nothing. Liu Mao's begging for death has nothing to do with me. Mr. Chen still has to thank me for helping to catch this fish. After a long time A person like Liu Mino is still very dangerous when he grows up. Having nothing to ask for means that there are no clues to follow. Pure maliciousness means that Liu Mino has a pure heart. The later he speaks, the more he bites. It hurts more."

Chen Pingan laughed and said, "Li Zhizao, you are a guilty conscience."

Li Baozhen bent his fingers, tapped the handle of the chair lightly, and asked, "Your method of isolating the world is... a supernatural power?"

If you don't need to use your heartfelt thoughts, Li Baozhen can still understand a little bit, but if it's your own...thoughts?In the dark, Li Baozhen was very sure of his thoughts, and was blocked by Chen Pingan.

The first time I saw Chen Ping'an, Li Baozhen was really flustered, and subconsciously wanted to send reinforcements, of course it was the eldest brother Li Xisheng.

To this day, Li Baozhen is still not sure about the roots of this big brother. He only knows one thing, no matter who he meets, what happens to him, or what difficulties he encounters, as long as Li Xisheng steps forward, it will be all right.

This mentality is exactly the same as that of Liu Chicheng in Baidi City.It doesn't matter whether you have something to do or not, anyway, there are senior brothers there.

Chen Pingan ignored Li Baozhen, walked to the table, looked at the two bowls, nodded and smiled, "It's very vivid. If Gu Can sees it, he will probably regard Li Zhizao as a confidant."

Li Baozhen's face changed slightly.

Holding a green bamboo stick in his arms, Xiao Mo leaned against the door of the room, smiling, looking at his son's fellow countrymen and peers, as expected, the same rice feeds all kinds of people.

According to the words of the sages and sages, a gentleman can be deceived by others, 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 Pingan turned and leaned against the table, covered his sleeves with both hands, and looked at Liu Mao, "What do you think, or is Li Baozhen right, and you just hold a kind of pure malice towards me?"

Liu Mino said: "Li Baozhen will definitely kill me, then I have to save myself. This is the last question my master gives me."

Chen Pingan asked: "After the problem is solved, what will happen after we get over the difficulties? Mr. Liu has already arranged for you?"

"My master doesn't have any arrangements."

Liu Mino shook her head and said, "I will join Mr. Chen's Lost Mountain, and be a person who does not exist at all. There is no deadline."

Chen Ping'an was dumbfounded for a moment, how could he be so generous with such a bastard.

Liu Mino said: "If you have a high realm, you can achieve what you want, and the world is not this world. What did the patriarchs of the three religions want to do in the fourteenth realm? Why does Haoran have a Confucian Temple in China, and why does Qingming have a Baiyujing? I After going to Luoba Mountain, Mr. Chen can of course not use willows, and I will never add anything to the snake, but Luoba Mountain must have an existence similar to willows, just in case. If Luoba Mountain has never created the next sect, Cui Mr. has never left Luopo Mountain, went to Tongyezhou to spread its branches and leaves, there is really no difference between Luopo Mountain and me."

Chen Pingan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "It sounds reasonable, there are all benefits but no harm, but I just don't agree."

Liu Mino said: "Then I will wait patiently and choose to devote myself to practicing in Huaihuang County, waiting for the day when Mr. Chen finds me useful. Once it is useful, it must be of great use."

Chen Pingan asked: "Then I'm even more curious, what is the picture?"

Liu Mino pointed at Chen Pingan's cloth shoes.

Chen Ping turned around and asked with a smile, "Li Zhizao, can you guess the answer?"

Li Baozhen shook his head, this Liu Mino is probably crazy, how can he guess.

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

This made Li Baozhen's heartstrings so tense that they were about to break, and it eased a little, so that he could take a breath at least.

"It's like an insignificant ant, but because it is stepping on the back of Mr. Chen's shoe, then this ant can use the opportunity to see the scenery farther and higher."

Liu Mao's eyes were hot, and she said in a deep voice: "I believe that one day, as long as I follow Mr. Chen's footsteps, I can accomplish a feat that I can't even 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 Mino, in the world, maybe because I did something or said a word, in the mighty historical torrent Among them, Liu Mino was able to prove himself that he has been in 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, the trip was worthwhile, so he said in his heart: "My lord, there is no doubt that Liu Mao's sincere words are true."

Chen Ping turned around again, bowed his head, stared at the two bowls on the table, a bowl of white water and a 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 was on the surface of the white bowl, Before falling, he turned his back to Li Baozhen and Liu Min, and said with a smile in his voice, "You two, guess what you want the other to live and die, and you can give the answer in your heart, Xiaomo can hear it anyway, It is nothing more than four kinds of answers, and it is not difficult to guess. It is nothing more than that Li Baozhen gave birth to willows, and Li Baozhen died and willows live. You can live, and Liu Min will die. On the other hand, if Li Zhizao dies, Liu Min can live. But if there is such a coincidence, your choices are the same, and you will both die."

Li Baozhen sneered and said: "Playing with things and losing one's ambition, not to mention manipulating people's hearts. Besides, I am the official of the Great Li Ming. If you want to kill me, I will kill you?! Who do you think you are?!"

Chen Ping just stared at the fingertip ink that was about to fall into the white bowl, "Let's change to an easier guessing method, you two must be proficient in arithmetic, I believe the difficulty will be very small, assuming these four possibilities Sex, if you guess any one of them, it can be the correct answer, and both parties can survive, so what do you think is the probability of surviving? Zero, one-quarter, one-half, one? To be fair, correct The answer must be among the four options. Why don't you guess the possibility? Whoever guesses correctly can leave this study room alive immediately. Li Zhizao will continue to serve as your minister and behind-the-scenes monarch, Liu Yu You can even join Luopo Mountain right away, of course there is another option, which is not to join Luopo Mountain temporarily, in exchange for Li Bao, the Minister of the Qingluan Kingdom, to die without a problem. You can guess, first come first served."

Liu Mino simply closed her eyes and put on a look of waiting to die.

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

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

It is true that Li Baozhen can pass on to his elder brother without a heart or a thought, but it can't stop Li Xisheng from being able to tell a fortune teller.

Chen Pingan sighed, and signaled Xiao Mo not to stop him with his eyes. Then Li Xisheng opened the door and saw "Chen Pingan" with a pair of golden eyes, with a little guy lying on his hair in a bun.

It's just that Li Baozhen and Liu Mino couldn't see the little lotus figure who followed Chen Pingan out of Lupo Mountain because of their blindness.

A false alarm.

Chen Ping smiled and said: "From now on, please trouble Mr. Li Zhizao to take care of Li Zhizao. There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days. After all, if you do it again, you will definitely do it again."

Li Xisheng nodded with a smile, "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 start well and finish well when doing things. Tomorrow, you will hand over the affairs of Qingluan National Ritual Department, and then go back to Dali Weaving Bureau."

Li Baozhen nodded.

Li Xisheng actually has some headaches. It is entirely conceivable that in the future, when Li Baozhen is at the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Realm, he will sit opposite Chen Pingan, who has manifested a demon, as if he is playing chess, repeatedly guessing the answer and arguing endlessly there.If I come a little later, there may still be several real arithmetic problems waiting for Li Baozhen, and this problem is just a side dish.If one is not careful, Li Baozhen will lose his Dao heart and end up like an ancient hermit wearing a wild fox fur beside the long chain of the long river of time. It is useless to break through the "unknown cause and effect" on the surface. "In larger freedom".

Li Xisheng said from his heart: "Zheng Juzhong and Yu Dou left Baidi City and went to Heaven."

Chen Ping asked puzzled, "What are you doing outside the sky?"

The two walked out of the study together, and Li Xisheng and Chen Pingan gave a general explanation of the situation in Baidi City.

Chen Pingan asked: "How is the outcome of this competition?"

Li Xisheng said: "Either win or lose."

There are some inside stories, Li Xisheng should not reveal more secrets.

For example, in Baidi City, Zheng Juzhong and Yu Dou said with a smile, they are all here.

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

Anyway, the two sides met, and once they met, they didn't want to say a word.

The two fourteenth realms, and among the fourteenth realms, belong to the kind that can fight very well, and their anger is not small.

The succinct and concise appointment was not stopped by the most holy teacher, and Daozu thought 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, it is impossible to deduce what will happen in the future."

Chen Ping'an had strange eyes.

Li Xisheng said with a smile: "Seek truth from facts, say what you have to say, why should I be ashamed."

No longer seeing a pair of golden eyes, Chen Pingan raised his hands and rubbed his face, and said helplessly: "What's the matter with Li Baozhen, how can I be Mr. Li's younger brother and Xiao Baoping's elder brother? Get used to him."

Once Chen Pingan is included in a certain list in his heart, just like Zhengyang Mountain in the past, then Li Baozhen's weaving officer will be considered a master.

Li Xisheng was obviously more helpless, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. But don't worry, it will definitely not be an example."

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

There are some simple truths like "arrogance and extravagance are evil", "smart people will only become more and more difficult to teach, if you don't punish them early, you may have to kill your relatives one day".

Li Xisheng probably guessed what Chen Pingan was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

Chen Pingan raised his head suddenly.

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

The battle outside the sky actually caused ripples in the mighty sky, and layers of halos as big as a huge lake rippled along with it.

Chen Pingan murmured: "I thought it would be a more friendly 'literary battle'."

For example, choose the location of the battlefield in a dojo similar to that of the most holy master or Taoist ancestor.

Li Xisheng said: "The battlefield is indeed located in a secret place. It was thrown out by the Taoist ancestor, but it is closer to Haoran Tianxia. However, Yu Dou and Zheng Juzhong have nothing to hide."

The second head teacher Bai Yujing once said that he was truly invincible, and the only thing that would be criticized and blamed was that he had never really fought with the two of them, so he was not really invincible.

The little master of the mighty world, Li Sheng.The boss of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Sword Immortal, Chen Qingdu.

As for Zheng Juzhong in Baidi City, the real body, Yin God, and Yang God's outer body already possessed three fourteen realms at the same time.

Especially the last one, "Zheng Juzhong", is like directly imitating "Taozu".

Zheng Juzhong's heart, art, and Tao.

All three.

Sooner or later, the whole world will know about this matter.With this rudimentary form of the Dao in Zheng Juzhong's mind, it doesn't matter what the "time" of the outside world is.

But even the monks on the mountain who have been informed of this amazing news one after another are still unclear of a deeper fact.

Renhe can be called the ultimate, Zheng Juzhong still has a hidden geographical advantage, because Zheng Juzhong's dojo is equal to being in Haoran Tianxia, ​​where Baidi City is located, and Wild Desolate Tianxia, ​​where one of the fourteen realms of Hedao is located. The Qingming world after the Taoist ancestor left.

The key is that Zheng Juzhong was able to do this when the patriarchs of the Three Religions were around, but what would happen to Zheng Juzhong after the Patriarchs of the Three Religions dispersed?

For example.

The level of the monks on the top of the mountain is like a majestic statue standing on the ground. Of course, every Ascendant and Fourteenth Realm in the world have their own greatness, but almost all the monks on the top of the mountain walk their own paths. Their respective realms and the height of their Dharma appearances never touched the bottleneck of the sky after all.

However, the height of Zheng Juzhong's Dharma is like "only" so high because of the obstruction of the patriarchs of the three religions.

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

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "What kind of wine are you drinking?"

Li Xisheng said with a smile: "The glutinous rice wine from our hometown is fine."

Chen Pingan took out a pot of Dong Bancheng's glutinous rice wine from his sleeve, handed it to Li Xisheng, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems to be easy, but it's not cheap."

Just because there is a gold-lettered signboard of "Lizhu" and the celadon jug made by the folk kiln in the small town, it is almost sold at the price of Xianjia wine, and there are really people buying it.

Li Xisheng took a sip of the soft glutinous rice wine and said, "I'm not speaking ill of Zheng Juzhong, aside from his Dao heart, Zheng Juzhong only wants to seek skills outside of surgery. I have to be a little bit afraid of him because of the number of my own practice paths, and all current and future fourteenth-level monks also need to be more careful, because no one knows whether the single-plank bridge I walk under my feet is there or not. Maybe one day they will get involved with Zheng Juzhong's path, and a battle for the avenue will start out of nowhere."

Chen Pingan nodded.

Li Xisheng said with a smile: "I feel sorry for you."

I have to admit one thing, it seems that Zheng Juzhong is the freest in the world for thousands of years.

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

Chen Pingan said: "Thoughts naturally arise, more than half less than that of Senior Brother Cui, try to restrain thoughts, at least half more than Cui Dongshan."

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

The difficulty of the former lies in the word "natural", while the constriction and cessation of thoughts of the latter are not like ordinary qi practitioners.It is also different from Baiyujing Daoist's Xinzhai and Buddhism's sitting meditation.

Li Xisheng said with a smile: "Baby Ping followed Cui Zongzhu and the others to take the ferry back to their hometown, and I will go to guard the way."

Chen Pingan quickly expressed his thanks, and Li Xisheng replied angrily, you are her brother.

Xiaomo couldn't help laughing.

Chen Pingan glanced at the sky, took a deep breath, looked away, bid farewell to Li Xisheng, and Li Xisheng bowed to him in return.

Li Xisheng took the lead to leave Qingluan Kingdom and went to the old dragon city at the southern end of Aquarius Island.

Xiao Mo suddenly said in his heart: "My lord, I want to take Liu Mao as my disciple."

Chen Pingan asked curiously: "Is he a sword cultivator?"

Xiaomo shook his head and said, "No."

Chen Ping 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 a middle-five level Liu Mao.

Xiao Mo said: "I take Liu Mao as an unnamed disciple, he has nothing to do with Luopo Mountain."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I don't worry about accepting you as an apprentice. But you have to hang him out for a few days first... Forget it, it doesn't make any difference, just tell Liu Mao straight."

Liu Mino is smart enough and thoughtful, so he happened to meet a master like Xiao Mo, which seemed to be the fate of the fairy family that Liu Mino should have.

Taking Xiaomo back to Luopo Mountain, Chen Pingan went to the bamboo building first, and then hurried to see Senior Brother Junqian.

On the mountain, Xie Gou actually recovered his true face, drinking with senior brother Jun Qian in Bai Jing posture, it can be called a booze, without the slightest appearance of a charming girl.

Seeing Xiaomo returning to the mountain, Bai Jing just hiccupped, squinted and smiled.

Chen Pingan called Senior Brother Junqian, Liu Shiliu nodded with a smile, and told Junior Junior Brother and Xiao Mo to sit down and drink together.

Chen Pingan hesitated.

Jun Qian smiled and said, "Bai was also dragged by Wei Shanjun to Piyun Mountain to meet Mr. Da, and Xiao Mi went to play with him."

Chen Pingan never thought of going to Piyun Mountain to meet Bai Ye.Treating guests like this is too unremarkable.

Maybe even if the younger brother wanted to go, Jun Qian, a senior brother, would stop him.

Bai Jing and Xiao Mo are old acquaintances with Jun Qian. In ancient times, they were certainly not friends. Relatively speaking, Jun Qian and Xiao Mo are more familiar.

Jun Qian said: "Mr. Xiaomo, have a drink here. After drinking, you can go to Qingming Tianxia at any time. The old temple master is waiting for you at Mingyue Haocai, an old friend you haven't seen in thousands of years. You can have a second drink."

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, "You can drink more with Mr. Jun Qian."

Haoran Tianxia, ​​Qingming Tianxia, ​​Lianhua Tianxia and the latest Wucai Tianxia, ​​the roads across the Tianxia are relatively stable with each other, just like the tributaries of the long river of time with embankments built.

During Xiaomo's visit to friends this time, apart from reminiscing about the old days with Master Bixiao, there were also two things that his young master asked him to do, one of which was related to Sect Master Liu's Taoist companion "Credit Moon".

Fellow Daoist Bixiao visited Luopo Mountain before, and once made a deal with Cui Zongzhu, and took away the "authentic work" of the bluestone cliff with magical powers.

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

Cui Dongshan, who had carefully inspected the mountains and rivers of Lizhu Cave, could not find anything strange, and was taken away by the old temple master.

No wonder Cui Dongshan failed to pick up this big leak. Firstly, his realm was not enough, and secondly, in the former site of Lizhu Dongtian, there are still few people and places that can be called weird and mysterious?

The young man doesn't know much about things, there are always times when he is mistaken.

That piece of green cliff is a moon palace mirror that once fell into the bottom of the lotus root flower, and there is a round of high-ranking ancient bright moon hidden in the mirror.A little bit of consonance, the spirit is eternal.

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

As for the guess that Gu Can told Liu Xianyang, it cannot be said that it is far from the topic, but he did guess a part of the facts. It has something to do with Xiang Jun, the master of Lingfei Palace named Dongting, and Qi Yunshan, the old Baiyue.

It's just that the most important opportunity for crediting the moon is that, after going around and going around, he still returned to the bright moon, and the things returned to their original places, except that nothing was returned to the owner.

Last time, the old viewer bought the piece of green cliff at a high price, and Chen Pingan wanted to buy it back. Previously, it was Cui Dongshan who bargained for the price, but this time it was replaced by Xiaomo.

If there is no Xiaomo, it is estimated that there is no talk.

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

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

Her surname "Cen" is interpreted as "the mountain is small and high, with a majestic appearance", and the mandarin machine is more popular and easy to understand.

Chen Pingan had been in Yunlou before, and asked Lu Chen, Cen Yuanji, and her family, whether it was Lu Chen who moved to Longzhou and then came to Luopo Mountain because he was a matchmaker.

Lu Chen was just playing dumb.

Before Xiaomo traveled far away, he reminded Xie Gou again.

Bai Jing just waved his hand, indicating that with her in Luobashan, it would be no surprise that Chen Shanzhu retreated.

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

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

Jun Qian laughed loudly, "Let me just say it, he won't be jealous."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Not necessarily."

Bai Jing's eyes lit up, and he regained his appearance as a girl in a sable hat, "Really?"

Chen Pingan said: "Guess, not sure."

Xie Gou rubbed his sable hat, curled his lips, "Ask old Mr. Zhu, it will be right."

Under the blue sky, two rounds of bright moon hang together.

Like the eyes of a beautiful woman, the place where the eyes are fixed is the world.

The tall old temple master walked out of the hut.

Dao Tong squatting on the ground is a little strange, and there are people who need their master to go out to treat guests?

Outside the house, there was a skinny and shabby Taoist priest. He raised his eyelids, and saw a bright sword light piercing the sky, and it was in the bright moon in an instant.

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

As soon as the old temple master met, he smiled and asked, "Have you ever slept with her?"

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

The old temple master did not let this friend go, "I have advised you a long time ago, take it easy, you sleep with her and she sleeps with you, it makes no difference, whoever sleeps and who doesn't."

Xiao Mo said, "Fellow Daoist Bixiao, if you keep chatting like this, I will leave."

The two disciples inside and outside the room were extremely curious, not knowing who the other party was, who was able to make the master so invisible.

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

The old Guanzhu laughed and stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Mo's arm, "Let's go, drink, it's still home-brewed wine, let's see if the craftsmanship has improved a bit compared to before."

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

"Isn't it the ownership of the ancient mirror, and the roots of a little girl?"

The old temple master complained: "Fellow Daoist, we haven't seen each other for ten thousand years. It's not easy to meet again. Why do you talk about these trivial things as soon as we meet? It's extremely boring. If you are really willing to gossip, even if it's that cheap nephew who talks about poverty." what."

The old temple master's so-called cheap nephew, of course, is Bai Yujinglu, the head teacher who calls himself uncle.

Lu Chen has five dreams and seven mental states, one of which is a dream and one mental state, it is difficult to distinguish one from the other.

In addition, the white bone real person who hid like a fish slipping through the net, and the Confucian scholar Zheng Huan who has been taken back by Lu Chen are the second of the five dreams.

Ouhua Blessed Land, Yu Zhenyi, the "dumb chicken" who once got the silver lotus crown, and the oriole that can test the literary fortune, are the two of the seven hearts born by Lu Chen on the road of cultivation. .

Xiao Mo was dragged to sit beside a wooden table, the table moved slightly like water ripples, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be another blessed place of lotus root and flower that was different from the blessed place of lotus root.

Before taking his seat, Xiaomo did not forget to introduce himself to the young Taoist with a smile.

Wang Yuanlu, who had just become the chief disciple of the old temple master for a few days, was overwhelmed with flattery. The skinny Taoist priest in cotton robes had already stood by the table with his hands tied. , almost nodding with the head.

The old Guanzhu smiled and commented on his great disciple who opened the mountain, "Yan'er is bad, but a good seedling."

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

Xiao Mo nodded and said: "It is really rare to have a good cultivation qualification."

"As for the one in the room who helps in alchemy, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it, the only thing that is worthwhile is that he is still diligent in cultivating the Tao."

"Late blooming, don't delay him from becoming a rising star. In terms of cultivation, as long as he reaches the threshold of aptitude, he will have to compete with acquired hard work and a little luck. Now that he has the Taoist heart of diligent practice and is a registered disciple of Daoist Bixiao, luck can No matter where the difference is, there must be a place for him on the top of the mountain in the future."

The little Taoist boy in the room who was busy making alchemy almost shed tears on the spot when he heard these heartwarming words.

The old temple master snorted, "Your fellow Taoist doesn't seem to be drinking yet."

Xiao Mo reached out and patted the table, and said with a smile, "As fellow Daoist Bi Xiao said, let's get down to business first."

Of course it was good wine.

The old Guanzhu waved his sleeves, and the table was covered with three kinds of self-brewed wine, and three bowls of white bowls.

The three years of immortal wine are clearly named Hundred Years, Thousand Years, and Long Live.

After hearing the explanation from Daoist Bixiao, Xiaomo picked up a jug of century-old wine first, and drank the other two kinds of wine in no hurry. One of the blessings in life is to get better after all hardships.

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

Brewing and drinking with Fellow Daoist Bixiao, I never knew what persuasion was.

The old Guanzhu also drank like this, and drank three bowls in a row with Xiaomo.

The old temple master suddenly frowned and said, "What's the matter, that flying sword?"

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "It was stripped off and given to a girl with very good qualifications."

Wang Yuanlu had already moved away, went to squat under the eaves of the hut and put his hands into his sleeves, his eyelids trembled when he heard it, the Ascension Realm is a pure swordsman, is he so bold in doing things?

The old temple master raised his hand and counted with his fingers, "This little girl has good aptitude, and she belongs to the kind of talent born at the right time. If you recognize the status of master and apprentice with your natal flying sword, you will be a master." It’s not a free gift.”

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

The old temple master laughed and said, "As expected of being a fellow Taoist, that's the way to go."

The century-old wine on the table is the least amount.

From this we can see the way of the Bixiao Cave Master's hospitality.

Xiao Mo slapped his head, got up immediately, took out two greeting gifts from his sleeves, walked towards the hut, and gave them to the young Taoist priest under the eaves and the alchemy boy inside the house respectively.

They didn't show any politeness to this big-spending senior on the mountain, one was really poor and afraid, and the other was big-hearted since he was young.

When Xiao Mo returned to his seat, the old temple master asked in his heart, "When will the debt be paid off and you will truly regain your freedom?"

Xiao Mo was full of spirits, and pointed to the table full of wine, "A table with two friends and three kinds of wine, isn't it already at ease?"

The old temple master smiled and nodded, and asked, "Have you met Zheng Juzhong?"

This guy had sex with Yu Dou outside the sky.A real fight must be a real fight, but both sides have a tacit understanding and will not fight to the death, after all, it is impossible.

Those who have reached their level, except for a few unique skills at the bottom of the box, should not shake them out prematurely, otherwise, even if it is the kind of point-to-point discussion of Taoism, the depth of the Tao, the number of methods, the level of killing power, and the strength of the defense will all matter. Almost counted.

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

The old temple master said casually: "You can bring the ancient mirror back to Luopo Mountain. As for the woman named Cen Yuanji, her origins are roughly related to a certain sect in Zhuzhou in Qingming Tianxia, ​​but Cen Yuanji The predecessor of the machine was not as powerful as the one named Zhu Lu, so Chen Pingan didn't have to think too much about it, and the past is over. Lu Chen always shits on the street and doesn't wipe his ass."

Xiao Mo didn't even thank him, he just lifted the wine bowl and drank it down.

It's a matter of course.

Obviously, Chen Ping still underestimated the personal friendship between Xiaomo and the old Guanzhu.

The old temple master smiled for no reason: "Thinking back in those days, there was such a long procession, following the buttocks of a Taoist priest with a wooden hairpin, walking on the road, winding like a snake, I miss it very much."

Xiao Mo nodded, remembering that the "dumb" boy who walked at the end of the line back then is now the Taoist ancestor.

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

The old temple master sighed, "Successful retreat is the way of heaven."

Xiao Mo said: "Whether it is the heart of seeking Tao or the ability to fight, you are inferior to him."

Although the guest's words were... the truth, the hairs of the young man in the room stood on end, his body tensed up, and he was afraid that if the wine table was thrown outside, there would be a fight.

Wang Yuanlu put his hands into his sleeves, stared wide-eyed, and stared blankly at the senior who didn't open the pot and carried which pot. After learning and learning, he could still be a visitor like this?

They knew very well that this was the sentence that Master and his elders didn't like to hear the most, not one of them!

Lu Chen didn't dare to say it, the female crown Wuzhou didn't dare to say it, the Taoist priest of Baiyujing didn't dare to say it, and even the monks on the top of the mountain in the whole Qingming world didn't dare to say it.

Never thought that the old temple master just raised his wine bowl and said with a casual smile, "Drink, drink."

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

The old temple master laughed loudly, feeling happy.

On Luopo Mountain, Li Huai brought the fox charm Wei Taizhen back to the ancestral house without seeing Chen Pingan and Pei Qian. Unfortunately, most of the neighbors in the early years moved to Zhoucheng.

That's good, so Li Huai won't have to explain anything.In fact, when I was a child wearing crotch pants, Li Huai, who had a thick head and a thick head, often got together with women and aunts and listened to them chatting about their parents.

Lin Yupu and Dong Bancheng walked to Niujiaodu together, and met a classmate from Dali Capital.

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

Shi Jiachun joked: "Dong Shuijing, don't be righteous. I've heard of your name in the capital. If you are so rich and powerful, you won't rent a ferry for me to show off, so that I can pretend to go back to 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 about it. A few years ago, he was Dong Bancheng. Now we should call him Dong Banzhou. Don't let the ferry under his name pick you up, even if you let Dong Banzhou give it away for nothing." Your ferry boat on the mountain is nothing, just picking some small coins from under his fingernails."

Dong Shuijing said angrily, "Shut up, Lin Yupu, don't forget that you still owe me a hundred fairy money, and I must charge you some interest to be happy?"

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 knew how to plan. In the future, I would definitely be able to do big business and make a lot of money. Yinzi, I never thought that you would be the richest in the end, I couldn't see it, I really couldn't see it, if I knew it, I would ask you for help."

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

Lin Shouyi said: "Definitely go to Zhoucheng, the surname of Xianjia Inn is Dong,"

Shi Jiachun sighed, with a smile in his eyes, and joked: "If I had known this, I would have stuck with you back then when I was in school. It doesn't matter if it's Dali Capital or Xianjia Ferry. Where to buy things now depends on the price. .”

Dong Shuijing was helpless.

Shi Jiachun covered his mouth with a smile and said, "I still have a daughter who hasn't found a good family yet. You must have seen it at the last wedding in the capital. Dong Shuijing, do you have any ideas?"

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

Dong Shuijing's face darkened, "Short braid, don't go too far, you have to limit your jokes, don't learn from Lin Yupu."

Shi Jiachun came back to his senses, his eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Lin Shouyi in a daze, "Lin Yupu? What a Lin Shouyi, I remember that Yuan Ying was only a few years old, and it was enough to scare people. Now it is in the Yupu Realm My god master?!"

Dong Shuijing nodded and said: "That's not true, now the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes, and you usually talk sideways."

Shi Jiachun was still childish, laughing loudly, finally stopped laughing, stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes, waved his hand and said: "I'm not kidding, Dong Shuijing, just help me find a place to stay in the small town, Chuzhou City is far away from Lupo Mountain It's still too far away. I'm no more a fairy than you guys. It's common for people to come and go in the clouds and mist. The seasickness along the way made me feel worse than pregnancy. It's really a suffering. It's good to live in a small town and know the way Yes, I can go for a walk every day."

Dong Shuijing nodded and said, "I have houses on Fulu Street and Taoye Lane, but it's under someone else's name, you can choose one."

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 of a higher level, to help steer it.

When he arrived at the gate of the house in Taoye Lane, Dong Shuijing opened the door, bypassed a screen wall made of fairy stone, entered the front yard, and asked Shi Jiachun if he was satisfied. Shi Jiachun said that he dreamed of living here when he was a child. Unsatisfactory.Dong Shuijing handed a bunch of keys to Shi Jiachun, saying that the house had been empty for a long time, and it was just cleaned regularly, so soon a few women from the Zhoucheng Inn would come here to clean the courtyard.Lin Shouyi was still smiling, and Shi Jiachun was just tsk tsk.Dong Shuijing, who was not thankful for his hard work, was aggrieved and cursed with a smile.

Lin Shouyi asked if your mansion had prepared tea, and 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.

Lin Shouyi went to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, probably because the new tea hadn't been released this year, so they couldn't find it, so they chatted with Shi Jiachun for a while, and then went to Li Huai.Shi Jiachun didn't follow, saying that she went for a stroll, she went out of the yard, and took a walk in her hometown alone. The New Year's shop in Qilong Lane is adjacent to the Caotou shop. It was originally Shi Jiachun's family's property, but later because her family moved there. After arriving in the capital, he sold it to Chen Ping'an.

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

There is nothing wrong with being a husband and a child these years.

As for the former school classmates, all of them have made great achievements, she just needs to be happy for them.

Shi Jiachun was a little sad for no reason as he walked, he missed Mr. Qi.

Earlier, I heard from Lin Shouyi 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 turned her head and looked out the window, and saw a dark and thin boy in straw sandals, lingering outside the door, the boy's eyes were wide open, probably because of his tanned skin, which made the boy's eyes particularly bright , He opened his mouth and pursed it several times, raised the back of his hand to wipe his forehead, and finally called out Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi walked out of the school and stood in front of the boy. The slender teacher bowed his head slightly, and the shy straw sandal boy handed out a letter with both hands.

Zhao Yao, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, called Wu Yuan, the governor of Chuzhou, to drink with him. Instead of choosing the official residence of the governor of Chuzhou, he chose a restaurant. width.Ma Yuan, who was transferred from Yiguojixiang to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, has the biggest official hat, and he is the head of the Ma family in Shangzhu Kingdom, so he sits in the chief position.

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 that burly man.

Ma Zhan's lips moved slightly, and he called softly, "Senior Brother Jun Qian."

Jun Qian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When you meet Mr., don't be speechless. Back then, you and Xiaodong were the only ones in our group. On Mr.'s side, you were the best at flattering. Sincerely, sir loves to listen. The few of us are actually not as good as you two in this matter. "

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

Jun Qian stared and said, "What?"

Ma Zhan immediately changed his tune and said, "It's my junior brother."

When I was with Mr., I never saw you like to show off with us juniors so much.

Jun Qian said: "Little brother is still different from you two, he is not flattering."

Ma Zhan asked with a smile, "What should that be?"

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

Pei Qian parted from her master, and after leaving Qingxingguo Jiuhuadu, she returned to Huaihuang County alone, walking in an alley that was all too familiar to her, remembering that when she was young, when she went to school, there was often a white goose here Like squatting, the two sides chased and fought, like enemies in the rivers and lakes met, they were extremely jealous, and they had to fight each other almost every day.Get excited, grab the white goose by the neck, and throw it against the wall, my little brother will go to you...Of course she will pay attention, such a well-matched master is hard to find after all, and must be cherished.

It's just that there was a small turmoil after losing money, so she took the guardians around Qilong Lane and took a detour.

At that time, the master was not at home, so Xiao Heitan felt that he had nothing to say.

It is said in the book that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. In the past, Nvxia Pei wandered the rivers and lakes alone in the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom. She ate her grievances as a meal every day and took care of herself. The days of the gods are over, so they can't bear the slightest grievance.

That's what I said, but in the end it was an unforgivable grievance, who made Xiao Heitan have a good memory.

It's just that when he followed the little senior brother to the Great Wall of Sword Qi and saw his master, little 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 above the head, and the sky is high and the earth is wide!

When returning home, the big white goose said that every grievance in our hearts is like 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 doesn't need to care about a few barnyard grasses.

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

Walking down the steps of Qilong Lane today, Pei Qian went to the Caotou shop to greet Zhao Denggao and Tian Jiu'er, and after a few chats, he found that there was an extra Taoist priest who was the second shopkeeper.

The other party claimed to be Lin Feijing, and had no Daoist name. Now he is a teacher of Daoist Yu Xianwei. He is not a second shopkeeper, but just doing odd jobs here.

Pei Qian walked into the New Year's Eve shop next door. 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, and he was always being a disciple of others. This is really not like himself.

When I was a child, every time I called Master, it was always loud.

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

Shi Rou said softly: "It's back."

Pei Qian hummed, "Master told us to go back to Luoba Mountain in the near future."

Shi Rou asked: "You guys go up the mountain after a meal?"

Pei Qian nodded and smiled and said, "I just stepped into the shop."

Shi Rou looked at the slim young woman, now she is as educated and reasonable as if she came out of a scholarly family, which was something that was unimaginable a few years ago.

When Pei Qian was still Xiao Heitan, 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 next door first. Sister Jiu'er also has a gift."

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

Above the old dragon city, a cross-continental ferry boat from Tongyezhou, a young man in white with a mole between his eyebrows was sitting on the railing of the boat, with a smile on his face, chattering non-stop, um, that’s called flattery, and a man standing beside the railing The woman in red with a wine pot and a narrow knife, probably this is called biting tofu in brine.In such a scene, I was very envious of seeing the thank you on the side, but didn't dare to show it. Yu Lu asked Cui Dongshan if the ferry would berth somewhere in the sea of ​​clouds, because I heard that there was a rare cloud-footed fish over there. , he planned to cast a pole to fish, Cui Dongshan said that it should be non-stop, but it’s okay, we have money!

Cao Qinglang was teaching Zheng Youqian some exegetical tips and reading experience, Cui Dongshan turned around and said it again, this is a unique method that your brother Cao has worked out with great difficulty, you can't go in one ear and out the other.

In the village school in Yanzhou Prefecture, Yunzhou, after class was over today, the Mongolian children dispersed in a hurry, some fished for fish, and some sent paper kites, all in groups.

Zhao Shuxia was walking around, and Ning Ji was a little bit apologetic for his husband, because there was another Mongolian boy who dropped out of school, and he was the third one!

At first, it was a pungent aunt who liked to scold the street, and forcibly dragged away her own child. Not long ago, there was another one who complained that the husband should not hit the ruler indiscriminately. Today, it was a parent who disliked that the schoolwork arrangement was unreliable, and they all transferred to Wuxi Village. Going to school, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, amidst the smoke from the kitchen, Chen Pingan rested on a bamboo chair, rubbed the center of his brows, felt light on the paper, and teaching was not easy, and he often had to bring a child who peed his pants with him The Mongolian boy who went to the stream, helped wash his trousers, and used some excuses to go to the latrine, was so courageous that he would not go back to the village school once he went there, and only cared about playing in the countryside. When he saw the teacher in green shirt and cloth shoes coming to arrest him, Either hide, or run fast.But fortunately, there are more immature faces and pairs of clear eyes. They have a good appearance. They are studying and reading every day, and there is the sound of reading every day.

Chen Pingan turned his head and stared blankly at the string of bells under the eaves. Chen Pingan slowly retracted his gaze, closed his eyes gently, put his hands on his stomach, and listened with his ears upright. Whisper, ding dong ding dong ding ding dong.
