Sword of Coming

We walked back together, walked towards the stone arch bridge, and climbed the steps. Chen Pingan walked to the center of the arch bridge, suddenly stopped, sat down, and hung his legs outside the bridge.

The white-haired boy followed suit and sat aside.

Chen Ping'an turned his head and looked towards Luolu Mountain, as if Xiaomi Li had just patrolled the mountain to the Jise Peak Patriarch Hall and was not walking very fast.

The right guardian of Luolu Mountain is famous for his diligence in patrolling the mountain. He makes two trips in the morning and evening, and he never stays in bed for a day.

Just like Zhu Yitongzi's monthly spotting on time, I think it's far behind Deputy Helmsman Zhou's daily patrol of the mountain. On that mountain patrol, when there was no one around, Xiao Mili began to practice a set of martial arts secrets, which was the crazy sword technique taught by Pei Qian. However, Pei Qian held the sword with one hand, but she was different, using a hiking stick in one hand. , a golden pole in one hand, and a sword in both hands, twice as powerful!

Don't be envious, you can't be envious, because this is called self-taught.

Go to the stream again, pick up the stones and play finger-guessing with crabs. It means you will always win or not lose, there is no suspense. This kind of behavior is indeed a bit childish and outrageous.

Next time, don't bully those defeated generals. Go catch a fish. The mountain patrol envoy will first draw out the cloth, then gently press the belly. The fish opens its mouth and punches. Alas, victory is guaranteed again.

When the good mountain master is not at home, Xiao Mili's patrolling mountain walks fast and is always running around.

When the good mountain master is at home, he walks slowly and leisurely when patrolling the mountain. He is not in a hurry. The time spent on the mountain road must be at least doubled.

It seems that as long as she runs fast, the good mountain owner can go home faster.

It follows the same logic. As long as she walks slower, the good mountain owner can slow down and travel far away from the mountain.

Chen Pingan smiled and looked away, raised his feet and took off his cloth shoes, sat cross-legged, dusted off some dirt from the soles, patted the cloth of the shoes a few times, and asked, "That boxing book?"

The white-haired boy seemed to have a close connection with the Yinguan Ancestor. He said with a nonchalant expression, "As long as you don't let the lard fool you, let the booksellers at the foot of the mountain print and engrave them, and sell them to make money."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Seriously."

The reason why the golden and jade genealogical certificates on the mountain are prefixed with the word "jinyu" has always had two meanings. One is pragmatic, reminding the monks that the status of the genealogy is hard-won, and the other is practical. The material of the gold and jade genealogy itself is extremely exquisite. And that boxing manual is the same as the precious Taoist book passed down by the sect. The ordinary paper material cannot bear the strong Taoist meaning at all. In short, it is extremely difficult to copy it, and at most it will be a second-class authentic work. The boxing score may require Chen Ping'an to set up many landscape restrictions.

If we use a metaphor, this boxing book is like a mountain. There is Tao Qi in the mountain, and the mountain protection formation is needed to stabilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so that the boxing in the book will not accidentally leak out.

The white-haired boy said: "In addition to the ancestors of Yinguan observing and practicing on their own, the descendants of the two sects who are born in Luolu Mountain and Xiandu Mountain in the future, regardless of whether they are the ancestors' direct descendants such as Pei Qian, Zhao Shuxia, etc., or those who are descended from them such as Zhou Junchen Wait, the branches will spread in the future. Disciples of the third generation, plus the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh generation, as long as they are direct descendants with genealogical status, they can read this boxing manual, but it cannot be passed on to others, and they cannot teach boxing outside."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Just think that I owe you a favor."

At first glance, it seemed that it was not Wu Shuangjiang's instruction. Palace Master Wu did not share in this leisurely leisure. It must have been the idea of ​​the poor disciple of the outer sect beside him.

Of course, it could also be that Wu Shuangjiang did it on purpose, intending to make Chen Ping'an owe her a favor, rather than Luo Luoshan oweing him and Sui Chugong a favor. The former was optional, while the latter was completely unnecessary.

The white-haired boy's eyes turned sharply and he asked tentatively: "Ancestor Yin Guan, I have a very far-sighted suggestion. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

If it had been left in the past, the conversation would have ended here, but after all, Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Let's talk about it."

The white-haired boy was full of energy and said: "As a servant of the outer sect, I am also a member of Luo Luoshan. I should do my best, so I just want to dedicate myself, work hard, and work day and night to give the ancestors of Yinguan and Luolu Shanji Many big figures in the Sefeng Patriarch Hall have compiled a chronology with detailed research, gorgeous words and wonderful words!"

Both the mountain literati and the mountain sects have the habit of compiling chronicles. The former are mostly recorded by later generations of the life stories of the family's sages, centered around the owner of the genealogy, with the year and month as the main latitude and longitude. The latter is similar, but the scope is wider. According to the convention, it is commonly known as According to the rules, top sects can record the resumes of all monks in the upper five realms. General sects and larger immortal mansions only record Jindan monks. General sects can record Qi practitioners in the middle and fifth realms, including Dongfu realm. In short There are certain thresholds.

Of course, Luolu Mountain could have done this a long time ago. The reason why it has not done anything yet is probably because the owner of the mountain didn't mention it himself, and everyone just pretended that it didn't happen.

The writer is somewhat similar to the historian and living minister of the Yamashita Dynasty, and is often a monk of the same lineage in charge of the matter.

Chen Ping'an didn't say anything, lowered his head and started to take out his sleeves.

I'll return the boxing manual first, and then I'll settle the score with you.

We had an old debt to settle at the wooden bench in Qilong Lane.

The white-haired boy hurriedly grabbed the arm of Ancestor Yinguan with both hands, "Don't be like this, don't be like this. There is no rush in compiling the chronology. Ancestor Yinguan doesn't have to be in such a hurry to give me a blank book."

Just as Chen Ping'an was about to get up, the white-haired boy picked up a cloth shoe that was neatly placed between the two sides by Yin Guan Ancestor, and took a closer look, "Good craftsmanship, you can see that it is very attentive."

Chen Pingan took back the shoes and put them back in place. He seemed to have changed his mind and said, "Compiling chronology is not a trivial matter in the mountains. Next time I will hold a discussion at the Jise Peak Patriarch Hall, I will put this matter on the agenda. If no one raises any objections, It’s up to you to edit it.”

The white-haired boy began to push further and asked tentatively: "Can I sign the compilation of Luoluoshan Chronicle?"

Chen Pingan started to pull out his sleeves again.

The white-haired boy patted the stone bridge and said in a deep voice: "That's all, do good deeds without leaving a name."

Chen Ping'an shook his sleeves and said: "It's okay for you to compile the Shanmen Chronicle. I only have two requirements. One is that the writing should be simple, the wording should be simple, the deeds should be realistic, no fancy, especially no exaggeration, and no need to be venerable. Taboo. The second request is that I start compiling a chronology as a preface since I was fourteen years old. You should not write about anything before that, and there is nothing to write about."

The white-haired boy pecks the rice, rubs his hands together, and plans to show off his ambitions. With this credit, isn't it easy to become a helmsman?

Chen Pingan was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "If you don't mention this yourself, I will actually take the initiative to remind you and you can sign the chronicle."

The white-haired boy was very annoyed and scratched his head with both hands, "I am the one who added too much and underestimated the broad mind of Ancestor Yin Guan. It is my fault. I cannot blame Ancestor Yin Guan for his small belly and chicken intestines."

Chen Ping'an reminded: "If you keep acting like this, you really can't even think of signing it."

The white-haired boy immediately calmed down, straightened his back, turned to look at the mountains to the west, and asked curiously: "Did you buy that Pearl Mountain with just one gold and copper coin?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "You can see the mystery because of your high level. At that time, who would be willing to spend such unnecessary money to buy a small mountain bag with nothing."

The white-haired boy asked: "Did Ancestor Yin Guan secretly receive advice from an expert?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "At that time, I just thought that a Luolu Mountain and a Pearl Mountain sounded similar."

"Furthermore, Zhenzhu Mountain is the closest to the town and is the easiest to be seen from the town. If you want to enter the mountain, Zhenzhu Mountain is the only place you must pass. I wanted to take this opportunity to speak in a way that does not require a loud voice. Silently tell the whole town, Chen Pingan of Mud Bottle Alley is now rich, whether you are happy or not, whether you care or not, you have to admit this unquestionable fact."

"This statement is off topic. Don't write it in the chronology."

The white-haired boy rarely had a playful smile on his face, but just nodded in agreement.

There may not be true joys and sorrows in life. It may be like two people, two worlds.

Everyone has his own thoughts, your love and my wish, one waxes and wanes, the other waxes and wanes, there is no place for arrangement in this world.

The white-haired boy has been in Qilong Lane for a long time, and he still knows the general family history of Chen Ping'an and Luo Luoshan. Chen Lingjun often went to drink and spank with Jia Sheng, a boy in Tsing Yi who always shouted about being a good man without mentioning the past. Yong, an old Taoist priest who is a perfect sycophant, complained that there was no outsider at the wine table. The great passion between you and me in the past was so bitter and difficult, and we couldn't relate to outsiders. Is it possible that we can't be treated as little friends? What's the appetizer for the dish?

So the white-haired boy sat on the threshold, eating melon seeds and listening to the two live treasures showing off and complimenting each other. Occasionally, when he was drunk, he would hug his head and cry. He really cried. The old man and the young boy sat there. Under the table, after crying, I looked for a drink.

Luolu Mountain and Zhenzhu Mountain, plus Baolu Mountain, Caiyun Peak and Xiancao Mountain, which were originally leased to Longquan Sword Sect for 300 years, were the five mountains that Chen Pingan bought for the first time.

It seems that that year, Chen Ping'an was fourteen years old.

After that, he bought the Huimeng Mountain adjacent to the north of Luolu Mountain, Niujiao Mountain which Baofengzhai voluntarily vacated, Cinnabar Mountain voluntarily abandoned by the Xu family of Qingfeng City, in addition to Cheilfish Back and Weixia Peak, as well as the mountains located in the mountains The westernmost sword worship platform. In addition, through Chen Lingjun's matchmaking, another Huanghu Mountain was purchased.

This is the second "expansion" of Luo Lo Mountain. Luo Lo Mountain owns eleven vassal hills.

The following Zhao Du Post is at the top of the inner hill, which is the third time of "recruitment".

The white-haired boy asked cautiously: "Ancestor Yin Guan, what do you think of the three mountains including Baolu Mountain?"

Not long ago, the Longquan Sword Sect suddenly changed its leader and became Liu Xianyang. As a result, even the Ancestral Mountain was moved away, but the three mountains remained untouched.

Chen Ping'an said: "With twenty-seven Grain Rain coins, I rented back three mountains with Longquan Sword Sect for two hundred and seventy years."

The white-haired boy rolled his eyes and thought, didn't this mother take off her pants and fart? Isn't that Ruan Qiong too bright-minded?

No wonder Chen Lingjun often boasted about how he and Ruan Shengren fell in love with each other at first sight.

Chen Ping'an stood up and said, "You go back to the shop in Qilong Lane. I'll take a shortcut along the Longxu River to Luopo Mountain."

After that, Chen Ping'an walked upstream along the Longxu River, passing by the stone cliff that the locals said was the back of a green ox. Then he took a detour and passed by Zhenzhu Mountain, which has never been built, and then walked into the mountains to the west. , Chen Pingan did not go straight back to Luolu Mountain, and planned to go to Yidai Peak first. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and then go down the mountain to visit Zhuchai Island on the back of the fish, the dragon boat turning ink, and the shop left by Baofengzhai on Niujiaodu. These Over the years, Liu Chongrun and the female cultivator of Zhuchai Island Genealogy have actually been helping to take care of it.

It is strange to say that Chen Pingan was not surprised by the astonishing amounts of immortal money received, such as the congratulatory gifts received by the Qingping Sword Sect, and the Liu family of Aai Aizhou alone gave so much Guyu money. However, Chen Pingan could not say that he was not surprised, but he was always He is not too concerned about it, but Chen Pingan is always extra concerned about any income that comes in a steady stream, no matter how small it is.

But Chen Ping'an never mentioned this idea to anyone. Anyway, if he did, it would probably be flattery.

But if Liu Xianyang listened to it, he would definitely laugh and scold him. You were afraid of being poor when you were a child and had no idea about big money. You only thought that small money was real.

In the earliest Aquarius Island, whenever the story of Chen Ping'an's fortune in Ni Ping Xiang was discussed, Beiyue Piyun Mountain and Longquan Jianzong could not be bypassed. To be precise, Wei Bo and Ruan Qiong could not be bypassed.

Including Beiyue Piyun Mountain, there used to be a total of sixty-two hills to the west of the town. Naturally, they have all been famous for a long time.

The reason why it was once was because the last military sage Ruan Qiong who was in charge of Lizhu Cave Heaven resigned from his position as the sect leader and let his disciple Liu Xianyang take over.

Then the Longquan Sword Sect moved the Shenxiu Mountain where the Patriarch Hall is located, as well as all its own hills, including Tengden Mountain and Hengshan Peak, to the Gyeonggi area in the north where the old Beiyue Mountain is located, but left behind the three buildings originally leased from Luopo Mountain. A mountain top. From the perspective of outsiders, it is speculated that it may be the intention of the Song family of Dali, who does not want the two sects to be too close to each other to prevent the trend of one mountain not being able to accommodate two tigers, or there may be something unknown to outsiders between the two mountains. After all, if the news is correct, Chen Ping'an, a rising star from Lizhu Dongtian, once worked as a day laborer in a sword-making shop on the banks of the Longxu River, but he has never participated in the Longquan Sword Sect's sect celebration. Even his good friend Liu Xianyang never showed up when he succeeded as the sect leader. On the Luopo Mountain side, when the sect was first established, the Longquan Sword Sect was not invited. Later, when he was promoted to the head of the sect, Ruan Qiong was never invited. It is said that only Liu Xianyang showed up at that time. Color peak...

Chen Ping'an came to the foot of a mountain. There was no mountain gate to show his identity. There were not many monks in Yidai Peak. There was no mountain gate, and there was no concierge monk responsible for hospitality and communication. He only erected a small stone tablet at the foot of the mountain. After reading eight words, we stopped and practiced individually.

It is mainly used to remind Qi practitioners not to hang around here when you have nothing to do. You will not be entertained.

However, local people such as woodcutter cutting firewood and gathering herbs are completely unimportant. Yidai Peak has become one of the few mountains in the west where people from small towns can still be seen.

This Yidai Peak has towering ancient trees in the mountain, as if the pines have transformed into dragons and the green cypresses have transformed into luan. It is indeed a very quiet Feng Shui treasure place.

In fact, Chen Ping'an had his eye on this mountain because there were many types of medicinal herbs in the mountain and the soil was suitable for making porcelain. However, there were only so many gold and copper coins at that time, and the price of buying the mountain was much more expensive than that of Xiancao Mountain. In the end, he bought it. Between Xieyidaifeng and buying Xiancao Mountain and Caiyun Peak at the same time, Chen Pingan chose the latter.

Mountain Master Liu Hongwen, an old Jindan monk, comes from the Huangliang Sect. According to seniority, the old man is the uncle of the current head Gao Zhen.

It was Liu Hongwen who insisted on buying the Yidai Peak with the remaining bag of gold and copper coins, saying that he wanted to practice pure practice here to avoid being annoying in the Huangliang Sect.

Liu Runyun, the granddaughter of the old man, raised a young white fox. She was once encouraged by some people to hold a show called Flowers in the Mirror. There were only a few visitors, but it seemed that she really made some money from the gods.

Liu Hongwen once took a group of direct disciples, including Song Yuan, to Luopo Mountain to visit the young mountain master. It was just many years ago. At that time, Luopo Mountain had not yet become the first sect. Liu Hongwen and the chief steward Zhu Lian often made appointments for drinks, and invited the other party to come to Yidai Peak to help cook and cook a few dishes to go with the wine. Often the afternoon would pass by in leisurely chatting. Later, when Luoluo Mountain became a famous tourist attraction, Instead, the old monk deliberately distanced himself from Luo Luo Mountain, and even stopped drinking with Zhu Lian.

The young mountain master is often away from home. He travels all year round and cannot be seen at all.

However, during festivals, a pink-skirted girl named Chen Nuanshu, the little housekeeper on Luo Luo Mountain, would still hint that she would come to Yidai Peak and bring some special cakes from Qilong Lane, tea roasted by Zhu Lian himself, etc. As a gift, at first, Chen Nuanshu would be accompanied by a little black girl. Later, there would be a little girl in black holding a hiking stick and a golden pole on her shoulders. And later, the child named Pei Qian , I stopped following him. I heard that he wanted to practice boxing, and later, Xiao Mili stopped climbing. It seemed that there was a turmoil in Hongzhu Town, and he became timid and did not dare to leave Luolu Mountain.

The Huangliang Sect, which was originally a second-rate bottom immortal house in Aquarius Continent, now has its founder Liu Hongwen, the leader Gao Zhen, and the direct descendant of the founder hall who just held the peak opening ceremony. Three golden elixirs have appeared in the Huangliang Sect at the same time. Earth Immortal, especially Gao Zhen, is also a swordsman.

As a result, the Huangliang Sect has firmly ranked at the forefront of the second-rate immortal mansions in Aquarius Continent, with only one Nascent Soul cultivator missing.

As for the Jade Pu Realm, it is still something that I dare not expect.

The old immortal master held a boxwood Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, greeted him with a smile, and pinched the Mountain Gate Zhijue with one hand to treat him politely, "Liu Hongwen of the Huangliang Sect has met Master Chen."

Chen Ping'an returned the gift with his hand, "This junior has met Master Liu."

Liu Hongwen smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Seniority on the mountain is not determined by age. Master Chen can be called fellow Taoist."

Previously, when Chen Lingjun and Guo Zhujiu attended the opening ceremony of the peak, Gao Zhen was actually worried. He was worried about whether Master Liu had ever told the Luopo Mountain side that he and the Huangliang sect were not at odds with each other at Yidai Peak. After all, with Master Liu's temper, Gao Zhen felt that he could say any ugly thing, but he didn't know that on the Yidai Peak side, even if Liu Hongwen reported his identity, he would not say "Yidaifeng", but only the Huangliang Sect.

Chen Pingan took the initiative to apologize: "Over the years, I have rarely come to Yidai Peak to visit Master Liu Xian. It is really inappropriate."

Liu Hongwen smiled casually and said: "It's nothing. Shanzhu Chen doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing. Just because we are so close, it seems like we are only a few steps away, but we don't feel that we have to rush to see each other. If we drag it, there will be many regrets at the foot of the mountain. It doesn't matter if we meet on the mountain. If we meet often, it's easy to finish the conversation. When we meet again, we can only say embarrassing words about the good weather today, which is not beautiful. Master Chen Shanzhu doesn't have to do anything deliberately in the future, it will be the same as it is now. Now that you have some free time, if you feel interested, come to Yidai Peak for a walk."

The old man spoke sincerely and casually.

It is obvious that this old Jindan monk does not take Chen Ping'an's new identities too seriously. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. He only thinks that in a few hundred years,

In the mountains to the west, the Xianjia sects who purchased the mountaintops with gold and copper coins, aside from the female cultivators of Zhuchai Island on the back of the fish, except for Ruan Qiong's Longquan Sword Sect, are probably related to Yidai Peak and Luolu Mountain. The closest. Nowadays, Old Immortal Master Liu has a saying in the entire Baopingzhou Mountain that he is "good at cooking with cold stoves". This is not a good reputation. In short, everyone is very envious of Liu Hongwen and Yidai Feng.

There is an open space in front of the old monk's residence, bordered by a small river. The water is clear and slightly sweet, and can be used to make tea.

A bamboo fence is set up around the house, and more than a hundred plants and trees of various colors are planted in a mixed manner. The flowers bloom and fade in different seasons, with different shades and density.

The Lingxiao vine on the stone blooms as big as a bushel every time, which is an ancient relic that has been in the mountain for more than a hundred years.

There is a goose-yellow peony in the corner, one with three stems. It is very tall and luxuriant. Its branches and leaves are spread out over the eaves, which can block the scorching sun. During the hot summer season, the flower shadows spread on the ground to provide coolness and escape from the heat.

In Chen Pingan's eyes, Immortal Master Liu from Yidai Peak is a pure Taoist.

The level of cultivation may not be too high, but if you practice purity consistently and never see right or wrong in your eyes, you are a free-spirited person.

Because of the opening ceremony, Liu Runyun, the granddaughter of the old immortal master, and Song Yuan, his proud disciple, have not yet returned to the mountains. They are expected to take the ferry back to Niujiaodu with Chen Lingjun and Guo Zhujiu.

Liu Hongwen took out a pot of wine brewed in the mountains and two celadon wine glasses made in Longquan County.

The old immortal master first helped fill Chen Pingan's cup with wine and said with a smile: "We all drink by ourselves. If you feel that you have drunk enough, there is no need to force it."

It seems that the old man has learned a lot of local dialects from this small town from Zhu Lian.

Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, holding the cup in both hands, "With this first glass of wine, I have to make up for the etiquette I have accumulated over the years and give the old immortal master a drink."

Liu Hongwen had no choice but to hold the cup with both hands, and the two wine glasses touched each other lightly. The toasters lowered their glasses slightly, and they each raised their heads and drank the wine in one gulp. Chen Pingan helped fill it up. Liu Hongwen said with a smile: "Thankfully, Master Chen is willing to take the time out of his busy schedule." Taking time to attend the opening ceremony of the Huangliang Sect in person gave me a great deal of honor. Leader Bu Gao replied to a letter not long ago, saying that he would bring several Ancestral Masters to the Hall in late spring at the latest this year. Please come to Yidai Peak to pay homage to me, your uncle."

Anyway, knowing the basics, the old monk no longer has to pretend to be harmonious and harmonious with Chen Ping'an.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Headmaster Gao is in charge of such a large sect. The person who sits at the top of the ancestral hall, in addition to taking care of his own practice, needs to weigh all aspects, inside and outside. It is not easy to think about it. There are many things , it’s not up to him to do whatever he wants.”

Liu Hongwen said: "It seems that Master Chen has a good impression of Gao Zhen."

Chen Ping'an joked: "They are both people who need to ask for help frequently, so it is easy for them to feel sympathy for each other."

Liu Hongwen seemed to have untied his knot. Now that he mentioned Gao Zhen, a nephew with whom he once disliked, the old man actually no longer felt depressed in his heart, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Gao Zhen is the leader, it is true." He is the most suitable candidate. In this matter, I have never doubted my junior brother’s decision. If someone else were to be the leader, I probably would not come to Yidai Peak. I would just feel uneasy, even if I knew it. No matter how annoying you are, I will stay there and spout shit."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If one day I don't even bother to scold him, I will be really disappointed."

Liu Hongwen nodded and said: "It's just such a rough talk but not rough reasoning."

Look back and be assured that this guy came to the mountain and had to teach his nephew this principle.

After that, they drank separately. After finishing a pot of wine, it was almost half the amount. As a result, the old man who didn't persuade the drinker went to the house and brought another pot of wine. This is probably called the real persuader.

The old immortal master took out a brocade box from his sleeve and placed it on the table. When he opened it, he found a white jade poetry and prose pendant strung with vermilion threads and a bead on the pendant. The old man gently pushed the brocade box to Chen Ping'an. , smiled and said: "You can't just drink and forget about business. This is my gift to congratulate Luo Po Shan for joining the sect. To be honest, I have been reluctant to give it to Luo Po Shan. It's not that the gift itself is precious and it's not worth a few gods' money. In fact, I like it very much. The poems and jade pendants are surrounded by words. The craftsmanship is good and the writing is even better. Take it and hurry up. Don’t say nonsense words that won’t win over others’ favor and don’t be polite to me again..."

Good fellow, before the old immortal master could continue speaking, the young mountain master had already thanked him and was relieved.

Afterwards, the young swordsman actually started to ask about the practice, and the old Jindan took advantage of the wine to just answer what was in his heart.

"I dare to ask senior, what is cultivation."

"Walking by yourself, walking through your heart alone."

"What does it mean to be enlightened?"

"Hello everyone. What do you mean by this statement? It's not a pretense, it's just a common saying. It's nothing more than there is a way out, a bridge across the water, you come and I go, no one can stop me."

"Senior must have read many classics of the Three Religions."

"not much."

"That means that the seniors have the demeanor of ancient sages. They read books thoroughly and are not general."

"This is not an exaggeration. Master Chen Shan, you are not bad either. You have no understanding of reading. How could you have achieved today's fortune? Others say you have deep blessings, but I say you cherish your blessings."

"Not as many as my predecessors."

"There is at least a slight difference between you and me, so there is no need to be too modest. I have a lot of books here. I can borrow them at will in the future."

Finally, Master Liu brought another pot of wine.

In the end, Chen Ping'an got a little tipsy and walked out of Yidai Peak with his face flushed.

I have been reading books for many years behind closed doors, and all the pine trees have grown old like dragon scales. I flutter the paper and move around in the clouds and smoke. The words are not worth a few sentences, but my mind must be thousands of years old.

When Chen Pingan walked to the back of the fish, he washed his face with water in the stream at the foot of the mountain.

Back then, Liu Chongrun signed a landscape contract with Luopo Mountain and brought twelve direct disciples from Shujian Lake. She spent thirty Grain Rain coins to rent the chelicerae back from Luopo Mountain for three hundred years.

This is of course the result of Liu Chongrun crying about poverty. If he does not bargain when doing business, is he still a woman?

After that, she paid a lot of money herself and hired Mohist craftsmen and architects to build a series of continuous mansions, which were clustered as tightly as fish scales, so that on the back of the chelicerate, due to the continuous buildings in the mountain and the special materials, every time the sun shines or The moonlight is shining, and the roofs of the buildings in the mountains are shining, one is golden and the other is silver and white, and it is beautiful. As a result, Cheilfish Back has unintentionally become a slightly famous scenic spot.

In fact, there were only a few genealogical monks on Zhuchai Island at that time, and many houses were vacant. Liu Chongrun didn't care, but he was very willing to spend a lot of money on this, let alone renting out those buildings. In fact, many of them owned hills here. The sects of the Aquarius Continent have made a lot of money from this kind of thing. Many Aquarius Continent sects and genealogy monks are willing to pay a high price for rent, and nominally own a certain mountain on a mountain in the west. In a house, one's own children or friends in the mountains can come and go, and there is a place to stay. Being able to live in the mountains is a matter of honor.

At that time, Chen Ping'an was not in his hometown, and Zheng Dafeng was still a janitor. He had never gone to Colorful World. He once complained to Liu Chongrun face to face, Sister Chongrun, don't do this next time. Really, you will only bully the kind and honest brother Dafeng. Man, no matter what. These buildings on the mountain cost more than thirty Grain Rain coins. You can cheat me out of money, but you can't break my heart.

If one is not careful and the world loses a good honest man and adds a romantic man who wanders around the flowers, who is responsible? Sister Chongrun, if you are willing to take responsibility, let’s finalize the marriage today. I will pack the package and go to the fish to carry it...

In fact, the work done by the chief of Luopo Mountain to enshrine "Zhou Fei" was far more than thirty Grain Rain coins.

In the early years, Chief Zhou was wealthy and generous. He spent his own money and took out four high-quality mountain magic weapons in one go. Taking root is closely connected with the water transport of the mountain roots. When Liu Chongrun salvaged the water palace that was a relic of his motherland, it complemented the former, making the water transport on the back of the chelicerate even more intense.

Liu Chongrun planned to sign a new land lease with Luopo Mountain early. Zhuchai Island wanted to renew the lease for another three hundred years... for six hundred years!

Because according to the agreement of the first contract, after the expiration of three hundred years, the monks of Zhuchai Island will move away from the mountain, but they cannot take away the buildings, the wood that serves as the pillars of the Immortal Family, and they cannot move the Immortal Family in the mountain. All flowers and plants will be automatically converted into properties under the name of Luo Luoshan.

There was no way, this contract was signed by Zhu Lian, and it was clearly written in black and white, line by line.

The female cultivator of Zhuchai Island complained about this a lot back then. If it were the accountant of Qingxia Island who came to discuss business with the island owner in person, how could he be so mean and careless about money and money? It was absolutely impossible.

The Cheilfish Back in Chuzhou, plus Zhuchai Island in Shujian Lake, are similar to the Huangliang Sect, and can be considered as having an uphill and downhill.

As a reward for helping salvage the ruins under the nose of the Great Li Dynasty, Liu Chongrun sent a dragon boat to Luopo Mountain, and there was also a verbal promise of a 50-50 split between the two parties.

As a place for treasures of the old country, in addition to the two important treasures of the Immortal Family, the Water Palace and the Dragon Boat, there are actually many treasures. According to Zhu Lian's estimate at the time, Liu Chongrun's income amounted to five or six hundred grain rain coins. It's just that Zhu Lian deliberately turned a blind eye to this, so Liu Chongrun was happy to go along with the situation and pretend that it was not the case. Later, Liu Chongrun was willing to take the initiative to serve as the steward of Fanmo Dragon Boat. It was largely because of this incident that he reciprocated a favor and helped Zhuchai Island make up a debt of gratitude.

Among them, the Chongbao Water Palace that was refined by the immortal is now placed by Liu Chongrun near the Baozhu Pavilion of the Ancestral Master Hall.

Today, the young mountain master of Luolu Mountain took the initiative to be a guest at Cheilyubei. This seemed to be a rare thing for the first time. This was mainly because Chen Pingan was away from home all year round.

The happiest person is definitely not Liu Chongrun, who has been struggling with how to renew his contract, but the young female nuns who have long been familiar with the accountant of Qingxia Island.

A few years ago, Luopo Mountain took the initiative to show its goodwill and let Liu Chongrun, who was here to carry the fish on his back, selected a few direct disciples with calm personalities and outstanding qualifications to go to the Lotus Root Blessed Land to devote themselves to cultivating Taoism.

For a period of ten years, in the two Feng Shui treasure places, the water transport was abundant to an exaggerated level, which was extremely suitable for Qi practitioners who practiced water magic. It was simply the best dojo tailor-made for their Zhuchai Island monks. They naturally had a lot of potential. The origins all come from Luzhou in Beiju. One is a part of the Nanxun Water Palace presented by Shen Lin, Lord Lingyuan of Jidu, and a stream presented by Li Yuan, the Marquis of Longting.

In recent years, since Liu Chongrun had already reached the Golden Core level, it was difficult for him to make further progress, so he went on two trips and recruited a new group of disciples.

Small sects and small sects do not have high requirements for the qualifications of Taoist monks. If they recruit disciples, if they have the Taoist qualifications that can hope to reach the fifth level, it is already a big deal.

In addition, some of Liu Chongrun's direct disciples also recruited many lonely girls from the mountains to work as maids. They were nominally maids, but in fact they just came to the back of the fish to practice as much as they could. If they had the opportunity to join the genealogy, girls who could not practice would be sent to them every day. If you receive a salary every month, if you have family and relatives outside the mountain, if you divide it equally, you can get dozens of taels of silver every month, which is an unimaginable good thing.

The number of female cultivators, plus the maids from each mansion, was nearly a hundred. As a result, the scene became more and more lively.

Those who come from a miserable background may not necessarily be treated kindly after they become prosperous; they may even become worse off.

It's just that Liu Chongrun has good discipline and does not have high requirements for the monastic qualifications of his disciples. Instead, he pays great attention to the character of his disciples. Therefore, he doesn't dare to bully his subordinates and hide anything from his superiors. The family tradition is very good.

Chen Ping'an was walking on the mountain road. The female concierge had already informed the Patriarch Hall.

When they saw the green-shirted figure, they shouted one after another. Three female cultivators came one after another and said in unison: "Mr. Chen!"

They still used to call each other Mr. Chen.

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, remembering their names clearly, "Hello Liu Xia, Guan Qing, and Bai Que."

Of course it's just because Chen Ping'an has a good memory.

The accountant of Qingxia Island is famous for his incomprehension of style, his words and deeds are strict, which will only ruin the scenery.

What's more, in Shujian Lake, because the food carrier was a ghost cultivator, Chen Ping'an, who was a lobbyist, was rejected many times at the Zhuchai Island ferry. He was unable to climb the mountain, let alone meet the owner of Liu Island.

In fact, this matter is highly talked about among the women in Zhuchai Island. Hehe, it is true that our Zhuchai Island is a small sect, but our Shanmen has a big air! I would like to ask, which mountaintop in the world can stop Mr. Chen from climbing again and again? Is that Zhengyang Mountain? Or Shen Gaozong? It's definitely not possible and I wouldn't dare.

However, Liu Chongrun was under strict control, and no one dared to spread the news, because once discovered, the island owner would directly remove the genealogy and expel him from the mountain without any leeway.

Chen Pingan chatted with the three female cultivators for a few words and then left.

Back then, every time he was rejected on Zhuchai Island and went to Zhuxian Mansion on Qingxia Island, Chen Pingan might have been stabbed in the heart by Ma Yuanzhi's words. Why are we two brothers suffering from the same disease? On the woman's side, You all suffered from not being handsome. Chen Pingan, you will often come to my house from now on. When I see you, you are uglier than me, I feel much better... Otherwise, I will force Chen Pingan to swear a poisonous oath. You have to follow I swear, you can’t bully your friends’ wives. You kid, others are ugly and do mischief. Don’t have evil thoughts. Why don’t you come to me and be polite? Even if the eldest princess is not married to me yet, Your future sister-in-law, when you see her, remember to behave your eyes and don’t glance around. We are all men with crotch straps. I can’t understand you... Chen Pingan, please tell me what’s on your mind. After meeting Her Royal Highness the Princess, do you have any thoughts? No? Really not? Well, once I believe you, I actually saw a beauty among beauties like Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and I didn’t even have any thoughts about it. Bah, she’s not a man, she’s really not a thing...

When Mr. Chen walked away, Bai Que laughed loudly and stretched out his hand, "If you are willing to admit defeat, hurry up and pay for it!"

Liu Xia is Liu Chongrun's second disciple, and Bai Que is his junior disciple. Back then, they used to bet on Chen Ping'an, but Liu Xia lost ten snow coins. Bai Que still had the same girlish appearance as before, and she was the only one back then. Making money, because she was the only one who bet that Chen Ping'an could climb the mountain, and the result was a total kill!

Chen Pingan stopped and turned around.

The laughter stopped immediately.

After all, today is different from the past. Mr. Chen has many identities, each one more scary than the last. The mountain master of Luolu Mountain, the close disciple of Literary Sage, the younger brother of Cui Han who embroidered the tiger, the Taoist companion of Ning Yao, the most colorful person in the world, the Zhijing martial artist who boxed with Cao Ci, the forty-year-old Jade Pure Realm Sword Immortal... Things they could do before were a bit inappropriate now, especially in person, and they ended up getting caught.

Chen Ping'an stood there and joked with a smile: "Guan Qing, listen to my advice. First, don't gamble with Junior Sister Bai Que. She has really good luck in gambling. Second, even if you really want to gamble, don't gamble with Senior Sister Liu Xia." Let’s bet together, whatever Senior Sister bets, you do the opposite.”

They were speechless for a moment.

When the green shirt was gone, the three fellow disciples and sisters who had a harmonious relationship suddenly laughed.

Mr. Chen, who has a rigid personality, occasionally becomes humorous, which is quite fun.

Just like when Liu Xia complained about Chen Pingan, causing her to lose ten pieces of snow money, Mr. Chen asked, if he said he deserved it, could he still go to see the island owner? When Liu Xia reluctantly said yes, the accountant just said it, he deserved it.

Bai Que raised his hand, waved, and said to himself: "Handsome!"

Back then, there was a girl who was earning so much that she could hardly hold the money in her arms. The back of the young accountant Mr. laughed and thanked her. The man in a blue cotton coat did not turn his head, but just raised his hand and waved. He waved his hand, probably to indicate that you were welcome.

Bai Que clenched his fists with both hands and shook his hand. It was full of snow money. He said happily: "Ha, we can't let Master know about this."

I am happy to make money, and of course I am reunited with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is still "the same", which seems to be a happier thing.

"Why are we afraid of Master but not Mr. Chen?"

"I think even if Mr. Chen reaches a higher level in the future, I still won't be afraid of him if we meet again."

"Is it because Mr. Chen comes from a poor background like us, so he doesn't have any airs towards us, and he doesn't pretend to be approachable?"

"But not everyone will be like this when they become rich. Just say that over at Shujian Lake, when the realm is high, there are fewer people who turn their backs and refuse to recognize others? Aren't they more vicious and cruel when they offend others? There are all kinds of methods that we can't even imagine. Yes, there’s nothing they can’t think of. Now that we’re so far away from Shujian Lake, we still get scared just thinking about it.”

"That's why."

"Because Mr. Chen is born to be a good person."

"You can't think of this reason...but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true."

The ancestral hall on Zhuchai Island is called Baozhu Pavilion.

Liu Chongrun stood alone at the door here, waiting for Chen Pingan to show up.

She wears her hair in a high bun, has a plump figure, and a square forehead.

Liu Chongrun habitually narrowed his extremely narrow eyes and watched the man in green shirt approaching.

Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess who had listened behind the curtain for many years and presided over the government of a country, had not been entangled by the swordsman from the old Zhu Ying Dynasty who was born in the royal family. She was expected to become the first female emperor of Aquarius Continent.

Strictly speaking, the first sect to formally conclude a mountain alliance with Luo Po Mountain was Liu Chongrun's ZhuChai Island.

All beginnings are hard. This incense love is not too small.

At that time, all the direct descendants of the ancestral hall of Zhuchai Island followed the extremely courageous Liu Chongrun to migrate to Longzhou, settled in Zhengyubei, and founded a sect, which was equivalent to giving up the old family business and starting over.

Liu Chongrun has not slacked off for a moment in his practice over the years. In addition, he uses a water palace as a dojo, so he is now in the golden elixir realm. He majors in water magic and also practices talismans.

Otherwise, she would not have taken a look at the back of the chelicerate on the top of the vassal mountain at first glance, because this place has the most abundant water transportation.

Because Luopo Mountain had not purchased Huanghu Mountain at that time, otherwise Zhuchai Island Ancestral Hall would probably not be on the back of the fish now.

It was a warm spring day, so Liu Chongrun directly set up a table in the White Jade Square, placed a pot of fruits and various snacks, and personally cooked a pot of tea to entertain the guests.

Liu Chongrun handed Chen Pingan a cup of misty Xianjia tea. When the sun shone, a miniature rainbow appeared on the water cup.

People who have been in love like to miss the past.

Chen Ping'an took the tea cup, thanked him, and said with a smile: "Now the Hongyin tea has been monopolized by the Zhenjing Sect, and the price is based on two cents. Most fairy houses can't buy it if they have money."

The two parties had just started drinking tea when a lively girl who was not timid at all came over. She walked with a wind and no restraint.

Liu Chongrun smiled and introduced: "My new apprentice is named Yunxiang."

No wonder the girl is so courageous and dares to make her own decisions and come here. This can only be explained by the emperor's love for Yao'er. Liuxia and the others would never dare to come here to join in the fun.

After Yunxiang bowed to Chen Pingan, Liu Chongrun asked her to bring an embroidery stool over.

Liu Chongrun asked directly: "Master Chen is here. What are your orders?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I have nothing to ask for. Don't be nervous, Island Master Liu. It's just a casual stroll, a visit between neighbors. Zhuchai Island has helped enough, how dare you?"

Liu Chongrun suddenly became speechless.

Yunxiang, who was sitting upright beside her, blinked.

Tsk tsk, listen, Mr. Chen really knows how to talk.

Master's words are full of hidden meanings. It's no wonder that there is something hidden in Master's words. Master is about to become the second housekeeper of Luo Luoshan.

Nowadays, Aquarius Island has moved the ancestral hall to Zhuchai Island on the back of the fish, and regards it as a vassal sect in Luoluoshan. They, the Qigong Practitioners of Zhuchai Island, actually don't care about this. It's easy to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big trees, not to mention the atmosphere in Luoluo Mountain is so good. Therefore, no matter how gossips are spread in Aquarius Island, if they just say one thing, there will never be any The rumor is that I never thought that the female nuns from Zhuchai Island rely on sex to get along well.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Island Master Liu, among the direct descendants, has anyone had the opportunity to form an elixir recently?"

When Liu Chongrun heard this, he became angry and sneered: "Do you think that all the mountains are the mountains where you are destitute?"

In this Luopo Mountain, it seems that even the Nascent Soul Realm is not taken seriously.

Because there were disciples practicing in Lotus Root Blessed Land, Liu Chongrun often had contacts with Hongxia and Peixiang.

Chen Pingan laughed dumbly.

Except for Chen Ping'an who was the master, outsiders may not know that Xiao Heitan, who he took out of the blessed land and walked around the world with, she once sincerely envied the two people.

One was Wu Yi, the founder of Ziyang Mansion. She went there with her master for the first time to eat and drink. She saw monks, maids, servants, disciples, and more than a thousand people gathered in the square. Kneel down and kowtow, calling the ancestors. Mom, this kind of pomp and battle shocked Pei Qian all of a sudden. He was domineering and domineering. Xiao Heitan secretly made up his mind to travel in the world from now on. What does it mean to be promising? How can he truly become famous? We have to measure it according to this standard. When seeing him, hundreds of men under his command fell to their knees in large numbers, and Patriarch Pei shouted loudly, like thunder!

The other one is Liu Chongrun of Zhuchai Island. Pei Qian heard from the old cook that this island owner was the eldest princess who listened to the government behind the curtain. Xiao Heitan thought about it and felt that it was amazing. On the left, there is a long row of civilian officials standing. On the right, there are generals who lead troops to fight and kill people like chopping melons and vegetables. They are all officials, and they are all high-ranking officials. I, a princess in exile among the people, am a fake after all. You just come here to bluff people, but Aunt Liu is different!

In addition, Liu Chongrun has been a steward of the dragon boat ferry for many years. He relies on the shop left by Niujiaodu Baofengzhai and is responsible for helping Luopo Mountain resell the goods shipped from Beiju Luzhou. According to Nuanshu, his family's treasury will increase every quarter. That's a huge amount of magical money! This is second only to the amount collected by Niujiaoshan Ferry from various ferries. So at that time, Pei Qian was particularly kind to Liu Chongrun. He felt from the bottom of his heart that this Aunt Liu was loyal, dedicated, a thief who could make money, and a real person! Admire, admire, must admire!

When he was a child, Pei Qian was lazy. He would never stand if he could lie down, and he would never move if he could stand.

But only when Nuanshu went to Qiyubei to give gifts, Pei Qian would be extra diligent and would definitely follow him. When he saw Liu Chongrun, he would call Aunt Liu warmly and affectionately.

And Liu Chongrun never let her down, always giving her gifts.

On a certain hilltop of Luolu Mountain, the Bamboo House lineage has its own genealogy. The threshold is so high that not even the mountain owner, Chen Ping'an, can join, let alone Chen Lingjun.

There are not many people who can make Pei Qian admired, Nuan Shu grateful, and Xiao Mi Li close at the same time. Zhuchai Island Liu Chongrun counts as one.

In the final analysis, doing things is still a human being. Over time, you can see people's hearts. To this day, generally speaking, if you walk sideways on Zhuchai Island, you don't have to worry about causing trouble at least on Aquarius Island.

What's more, on the dragon boat ferry before, Mi Da Jianxian and Liu Chongrun were both mature-looking people. Although they basically didn't chat, the female nuns on Zhuchai Island all liked to chat more with the guy named "Yu Mi". The man is so good-looking, so he just chats a little more and doesn't suffer any loss. Unfortunately, Yu Mi is too taciturn and doesn't like to talk much. He is really too thin-skinned, so they prefer to make fun of him and make fun of him. , Hehe, he still blushes occasionally.

Liu Chongrun was actually not willing to discuss business with Chen Ping'an, but the other party was already hiking, so she endured the discomfort in her heart and said bravely: "I want to renew the contract with Luolu Mountain for six hundred years."

Added together, it is nine hundred years, occupying a dojo for nearly a thousand years. In fact, this is equivalent to directly purchasing the chelicerae back with Chen Ping'an.

Chen Pingan just raised his tea cup and took a sip of Hongyin tea.

In Luzhou, Beiju, within the small cave of Dragon Palace, Chen Pingan bought a Fushui Island that was of great significance to him, spending 80 grain rain coins. Of course, this is an extremely low price. With the help of Lingyuan Gong Shen Lin, Longting Marquis Li Yuan, and Sword Immortal Li Cai's Duckweed Jianhu, these high-ranking figures are potential pressures for a Water Dragon Sect, not to mention The Shuilong Sect itself is also willing to have an extra relationship with Chen Ping'an on the mountain.

Therefore, Liu Chongrun was reluctant to raise the price, thinking that if Chen Pingan refused flatly, she would offer a water elixir secretly stored in the water palace in exchange.

Chen Ping'an thought for a moment and said: "The previous three hundred years were worth thirty Grain Rain coins. If we renew the contract for six hundred years, we will calculate it according to the previous price and give us another sixty Grain Rain coins in Luo Luoshan. Island Master Liu, you What do you think? The price is of course very low, but as I said before, Zhuchai Island has helped us a lot over the years, with both talented people and efforts. Luoluoshan cannot miss this friendship."

If you were a young man, let alone renting it for six hundred years, you would just give the entire chelicerate back to Zhuchai Island.

But as I get older, I will understand more and more that even if it is a matter of showing kindness to others, I feel no guilt. I don’t think too much about something, and I think about the same thing over and over again with others. There are two minds about things. Understanding this truth is not called helplessness, but growth. Taking care of others' hearts is not a simple matter.

Liu Chongrun couldn't hide his surprise and surprise. After holding it in for a long time, he tentatively asked: "No more Grain Rain money?"

Chen Ping'an gave a thumbs up and praised: "Island Master Liu is good at doing business. I have seen people bargaining in different ways, but I have never seen anyone take the initiative to increase prices."

Island Master Liu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Isn't it my conscience?"

Chen Pingan pretended not to understand anything, just smiled, lowered his head and drank tea.

Afterwards, the two of them drank tea and just chatted, their moods were leisurely and beautiful, and in the eyes of the quiet girl beside them, the master and him were not involved in love, but they were both gods and immortals.

Leaving the back of the cheliceus and approaching Luolu Mountain, Chen Pingan stopped. There was a pavilion on the roadside with a table inside, which was never removed.

It is said that Bai Xuan met many heroes here and eventually compiled a hero's genealogy.

Bai Shou didn't agree. After all, he had suffered a lot and suffered setbacks one after another. However, Jiuyifeng Qiu Zhi, who had just met Bai Xuan once, was "on the list" in a daze.

Chen Pingan walked into the pavilion and took a rest for a while.

It's just that life is not about wandering around the mountains in the west. You have visited it today, and you can visit it again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The pavilion will not move, and life keeps moving forward.

Just like a trip to Cheilfish Back, Chen Ping'an would miss Pei Qian, the founding disciple who he had watched grow up.

Chen Ping'an was not in his hometown back then, and Pei Qian would go to school every day. Near Qilong Lane, there used to be a woman who refused to let go. She said that Pei Qian had killed her white goose, Xiao Hei. Tan lost money, but she always insisted that she was not the white goose she killed. Chen Pingan could even imagine the stubborn look on the face of the little girl who took out the money.

That might be the first time Pei Qian saved money and gave it away.

Don't you feel bad?

There are also those clay dolls that she has hidden somewhere.

According to what Pei Qian told Zhu Lian and Shi Rou at the time, it was raining heavily. She accidentally forgot to sound the drum to withdraw the troops, and the heavy rain dispersed them.

But Chen Ping'an knew very well that it was smashed by his peers. Maybe it was not thrown far away, but it was deliberately smashed and thrown all over the place, leaving it just there.

Are you angry or not?

But maybe in Xiao Heitan's heart, no matter how sad she is, it can't be compared to when she was young and on the way to escape. One night, her mother secretly hid the steamed buns and ate them secretly behind her father's back.

Many hardships, hardships and ups and downs can be overcome with a wonderful childhood so as not to fall behind.

Just like a cold winter, you can resist it by remembering the warm spring. The difficult days will eventually pass.

It is also possible that many of the hard work and silent efforts later in life are due to an unknown and difficult tug-of-war in their hearts alone with their not-so-good childhood. This battle may last a lifetime, and it may be a draw at most, but never a fight. No chance of winning.

In fact, Chen Pingan has survived it himself, so he has more patience and compassion than ordinary people. But what really makes Chen Pingan the most soft-hearted are those who are... sensible.

For example, a millet grain that feels wronged but doesn’t feel anything,

There was also Pei Qian, who was still a naughty little Heitan back then. It was the first time that Chen Pingan received a gift on the fifth day of May.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an has been keeping it well for so many years, placing it among small things rather than close at hand, and always carrying it with him.

When I was young and drinking, I always liked to use the sword-raising gourd. When I became an adult, I seemed to take out the sword-raising gourd and drink less often.

There is a world of difference between me and outside me.

Some people have had the charm and disputes with this world like lovers, while others have had the resentment and reconciliation with this world like enemies.

A girl wearing a mink hat and rosy cheeks suddenly appeared outside the pavilion, looking at the man in blue shirt who was dazed with one hand on the table.

Chen Pingan turned around and asked with a smile: "Miss Xie, what do you think of the scenery over there at the Sword Worship Platform?"

Xie Gou chuckled and said, "Not bad, quite good."

Chen Pingan took out two bottles of wine and said with a smile: "Do you mind drinking standing up?"

Xie Gou narrowed his eyes and smiled, striding into the pavilion, "They are all children of the world who are used to the city and the countryside. They are not fussy. As long as they have free wine, there is nothing to be dissatisfied about."

For some reason, she was not a fool when she saw the "Chen Pingan" from before. Of course, she was under a lot of pressure. Even though she was in the whirlpool of time in Qilong Lane, she was on guard from beginning to end. The one holding the sword, but in fact, based on her intuition, she was more afraid of the guy Xiao Mo called "Young Master".

When I saw the young mountain master with a warm expression in front of me, I felt strange and even more stressed!

Xie Gou asked seemingly casually: "Do you remember what happened before?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Knowing one's own opinions is also a kind of practice."

Xie Gou took a sip of wine and nodded. He didn't know whether he thought the wine tasted good, or whether he thought this sentence made sense, "So from Master Chen's point of view, how should we settle the infinite heart?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I won't talk to Miss Xie about this anymore. I'm going to waste my energy, and you're spending your wine. Well, it seems like it's still my wine."

Xie Gou chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm a layman or a self-starter who can't talk to you?"

If it were anyone else, she would have to explain it differently, such as not being able to pee in a pot.

It's just that now that I'm living under someone else's roof, I have to be more careful in my conversation.

Didn't Mr. Zhu drive him off the mountain just because he spoke inappropriately? Wouldn't it be miserable if he pissed off the Yin Guan who is the real master of the family in front of him again?

Where else can you drive yourself? Buy a house in Huaihuang County? Wouldn't that mean that he was worse than that short winter melon with white hair?

Then she might as well just spend money to buy three mountains including Tiandu Peak. Alas, those three sects are asking a lot of money to bully her into killing pigs because she doesn't understand the market in the mountains.

Chen Ping'an obviously didn't want to talk to her about this, so he changed the subject and asked with a smile: "To be honest, I have always been surprised why you like Xiaomo alone."

Xie Gou's face was full of sadness at first, and then she was relieved. During this period, her expression was complicated and her mood was progressive, just like the gentle flow of a clear mountain stream going down the mountain. She took a deep sip of wine, sighed quietly, and gave one sentence as an answer, Chen Ping'an was completely fooled in one fell swoop. Are all the great monsters in the wild world so literary? !

"I don't know how to be sad in this body. I am most afraid of seeing tenderness."
