Sword comes

When the group of people had breakfast and were about to leave, A Liang led the donkey and suddenly asked everyone to wait for a while, and then shouted out, the young and handsome Qidunshan land, who is more beautiful than a woman, is dressed in a big head In white clothes with sleeves, he quickly emerged from the stone flat on the top of the mountain, holding a long wooden box in his hand, bent down, and said flatteringly to the man in the bamboo hat: "Daxian, the little one has already prepared the car, and the remaining two The Baili Mountain Road is kept unimpeded, like walking on flat ground.”

Ah Liang was completely different from the guy who defeated the enemy with one knife yesterday, and said with a pleasant face: "It's been hard work, please take the things first, and you will give them to me when you are about to leave the Qidunshan territory."

Young Land was flattered, "The Great Immortal is so polite, it's really small."

A Liang stepped forward, patted the local god on the shoulder, and handed him the reins of the white donkey, "Then I won't be polite to you, and you will take the horse to the border together. "

The young land said righteously: "It should be, it is really an honor for a villain to serve as a pawn for the Great Immortal."

A Liang turned to look at Li Huai. When the little bastard was eating just now, in order to compete with him for a piece of sauced beef, he cried, made trouble, and hanged himself. If he is willing to accept it, the bastard might even be able to sell his father to A Liang. Of course, A Liang is not merciful, and in the end Li Huai is so angry that he wants to fight with A Liang. The relationship between one big and one small is still tense. .

Ah Liang stretched out his thumb, pointing at the sycophant young land behind him, which means you see, Mr. A Liang, I am very easy going in the Jianghu, please show some respect in the future.

Li Huai rolled his eyes, turned his head and spit on the ground.

Ah Liang said angrily, "Let's go."

Moments after the words landed, three mountain turtles with carapaces as big as a round table climbed to the top one by one. Their carapaces were bright red, like a big ball of flames.When the young land holding a green bamboo staff looked at them, the mountain turtle shrank its neck at the same time, and dropped one object at the same time. He has been unable to deal with the two snakes and pythons, but the rest of the birds and beasts that have not yet matured, in front of him, are no different from cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs raised by ordinary people in the market.

The carapace of each mountain turtle can accommodate three people to sit. The young land is as careful as a hair, and nailed a low railing around the edge of the carapace. The material is strong hardwood from local materials, which serve as handrails to prevent those distinguished guests from bumping and falling. fall.Li Baoping, Li Huai and Lin Shouyi climbed onto the carapace one after another. Chen Pingan was called by Li Baoping to the carapace of the mountain turtle she had chosen. A Liang accompanied Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, Zhu He and Zhu Lu. There is a clean land for father and daughter.

Li Huai was overjoyed. When the tortoise moved, the child's body only swayed slightly without any bumps. It was actually much more comfortable than the ox cart and carriage. Although it seemed clumsy, the tortoise descended the mountain at a fast speed.

Li Huai was overjoyed and beat A Liang's knee vigorously, "My mother! This is the first time in my life to sit on the back of such a big turtle, A Liang, you wicked ghost have finally done a good deed!"

A Liang looked at Li Huai with pity, "You can grow to such a big size, it seems that the people in the town are very simple."

Li Huai turned to look at Lin Shouyi, "Did Ah Liang speak ill of me?"

Lin Shouyi was resting with his eyes closed, as if he was silently feeling the coming of the late spring mountain breeze, and turned a deaf ear to Li Huai's question.

Li Huai looked at A Liang treacherously, trying to find clues from the expression and eyes of the man in the bamboo hat.

A Liang said with a straight face, "It's a good word."

Li Huai glanced at A Liang's green sheathed long knife across his leg, then at the small silver gourd on his waist, and asked, "A Liang, can you play with the bamboo knife?"

A Liang shook his head and said, "You are not suitable for using a knife."

Li Huai frowned and said, "Then what kind of weapon is suitable for me?"

A Liang's face was serious, "You can reason with people, convince people with reason, and convince people with virtue."

Li Huai sighed and said dejectedly, "No."

Ah Liang, who was originally just playing with children, was really a little strange, "Why?"

Li Huai raised his head and looked elsewhere. There were lush green trees, and occasionally spring flowers flashed past. The child said softly: "My voice is too low. My mother said that whoever has a louder voice in a quarrel will be justified. But at home, my father doesn't like to talk, and he can't beat a fart with a stick. My sister also has a soft temper and is very boring. So when something happens at home, as long as my mother is away, both father and sister Personally, I only stare and stare, which can make people anxious to death. Actually, I don’t like to quarrel with people, but sometimes, when I sit on the wall and watch my mother and people’s thick necks and red faces, I’m afraid that one day my mother will grow old. What should we do? Our family is already poor. Even the house has a hole and we have no money to repair it. My father is worthless. My sister is destined to marry when she grows up. Even if there is no one who quarrels, isn't our family going to be bullied to death by outsiders?"

Lin Shouyi moved slightly.

Ah Liang jokingly said, "Tsk tsk, you're so old, you want to go this far?"

The child said helplessly: "I can't help it. My mother always said that I was the only one in charge of the family. Mr. Qi taught us that people who have no foresight must have near-term worries, so I have to Weiyu...what the hell."

A Liang smiled and helped to say the two words: "Prepare."

Li Huai shook his head, "Lin Shouyi, Mr. Qi said what a gentleman should do?"

Lin Shouyi opened his eyes, and said slowly: "Hide the utensils in your body, and move them when the time comes."

Li Huai pointed to A Liang, "A Liang, you are just dangling around with half a bucket of water."

Lin Shouyi wanted to sit next to Chen Pingan and Li Baoping, at least with clean ears.

A Liang took a sip of the wine gourd and said with a smile: "As for me, I talked with the land master of Qidun Mountain yesterday. When we parted, as compensation, he and the two evil animals will give out a As a farewell gift, I saw that long wooden box before. People in the world call it Hengbao Pavilion. It is similar to the erected treasure shelf. It contains all valuable treasures. It was supposed to be good for everyone. Of course, you Li Huai are no exception, now, it’s gone.”

Li Huai was unmoved, but said sternly: "Ah Liang, I know you have a hundred big ships in your belly!"

A Liang was stunned, "What a mess."

Lin Shouyi said casually, "The prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach."

A Liang slapped Li Huai on the head and laughed heartily.

Shan Gui chose secluded mountain roads all the way to trek through mountains and rivers. It was relaxing and comfortable, which made the group leisurely and leisurely. When they arrived at some beautiful places, A Liang asked Chen Pingan to take a rest. Xiaozhulin took the half-cut hatchet to chop two bamboos, divided them into bamboo tubes of different lengths, and put them into the basket. Li Huai knew the reason, jumped up and down happily, and shouted to endorse the book Box myself.

The three tortoises were lying in the distance, watching the straw sandal boy with yellow eyes the size of his fist when he was cutting bamboo, full of admiration.

A Liang was drinking beside him, looking at the busy young man with quick hands and feet, he said cheerfully, "I have a good eye, but it's a pity that I have no luck..."

Before going on the road, the little girl in the red padded jacket suggested to Zhu He that she would sit alone with Zhu Lu, Zhu He naturally would not refuse, but just told his daughter to take good care of the young lady, and Zhu Lu nodded.Zhu He then went to sit on the same turtle back with Chen Pingan, and the young man split the emerald green bamboo tubes into bamboo slices and strips. Now there is a shortage of hemp ropes, so the bamboo boxes need to be formed at the earliest. It's time to arrive at the Red Candle Town.

Zhu He picked up a piece of bamboo and found that it was extremely light but quite tough. Thinking of the green bamboo stick in the hands of the young land of Qidun Mountain, he immediately understood that the bamboo forest that was only one or two acres in size just now must be extraordinary. Bamboo may be one of the spring areas where the aura of Qidun Mountain gathers.

Zhu He liked his young lady from the bottom of his heart, so he couldn't help reminding: "These bamboos have a lot of origin. If it was an ordinary hatchet, it would have been chipped or cut to the curly edge. So wait until these two bookcases After it's done, my lady might be depressed, because in the end, her little bamboo box is the most common."

Chen Pingan was stunned, so he turned his head to look at the mountain turtle carrying the three of A Liang behind him, and asked tentatively, "Is that bamboo forest related to the land of Qidun Mountain?"

A Liang nodded and said: "It's his old background, absorbing the spiritual energy of the mountains, it takes a hundred years to produce this emerald green color, and it takes another four or five hundred years to condense a little bit of green wood essence. But it's okay, the two trees you cut down Bamboo is only two hundred years old, so it's not enough to make that guy's heart bleed, at most it's just a pain in the flesh, it's nothing."

Chen Pingan sighed, giving up the idea of ​​going back and chopping another green bamboo

.

A Liang asked: "What? Do you think there are two missing? Would you like to pick some better bamboos for you?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Forget it."

Zhu He asked curiously: "It takes less than half an hour to go back and forth, and it's not troublesome."

Chen Pingan glanced at the back basket at his feet, there were bamboo strips clustered around each other, there was still a lot of room, but the young man still shook his head and said, "Hurry up is the key."

Zhu He didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "In the journey of martial arts, the emphasis is on the word 'sharpening'. If you don't compete with others, no one will give you punches, and you won't be able to practice well, so when you are free, we will learn from each other. The ugly words are in the front, and it is said to be a sparring, but apart from guaranteeing that I will not hurt you, I will not be ambiguous in my actions, so you should be mentally prepared for bruises and swollen faces."

Chen Pingan was full of surprise, grinning and said, "Uncle Zhu, just beat him hard."

Before noon, the tortoise had already gone half way up the mountain road. Everyone was at a pool under a waterfall. They had a clear division of labor, and they were familiar with cooking. Chen Pingan told the little girl about the small bamboo box. After passing the reason he quietly told her, the little girl smiled from ear to ear, and finally her face was full of pride, she patted the little bamboo box next to her every day, and told her little uncle that the best book in the world The box is here, and she also nicknamed it Green Clothes.

After dinner, A Liang called Chen Pingan to the waterside of the Youlu Deep Pool. The water volume of the waterfall is not large, so the cold air is not heavy. The two walked side by side. Let me tell you, you are now in the Xishan area of ​​Longquan County, and you own Luopo Mountain, Baolu Mountain, Caiyun Peak, Xiancao Mountain and Zhenzhu Mountain, a total of five large and small mountains?"

Chen Pingan nodded in doubt, without any concealment, and said slowly: "Among them, Luopo Mountain is the most valuable, and Baolu Mountain is also good. The other three are very average, especially Zhenzhu Mountain, which is just an inconspicuous hill."

A Liang patted the handle of the knife lightly with his palm, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The real value of these hills now lies in the hidden spiritual energy, which is far better than the foreign world. Going to the Tiefu River, trying to enter your hometown, near the water towers to absorb spiritual energy, in fact, there are still many mandrill monsters who have just realized their understanding, and are rushing there, but in the end which lucky ones can successfully occupy a corner depends on their own. Good fortune, is there any opportunity for the Great Dao?"

A Liang took a sip of his wine and continued: "Don't think that if a ghost enters the mountain, it means that the family has been robbed, just like this magnificent Qidun Mountain, why did the land allow two snakes and pythons under his nose , Growing up little by little? The reason is very simple, after he was stripped of his orthodox status, if Qidunshan wants to retain its aura, someone needs to stand up and help him sit on the top of the mountain, suppress the evil spirits and absorb the aura."

Chen Pingan asked: "Ah Liang, do you mean to invite me to invite the land of Qidun Mountain, or the two snakes and pythons, to my mountain? It's a bit like... help me look after my home?"

Ah Liang squatted down, picked up a stone at random, threw it into the pool, and shook his head with a smile, "You are only half right, the imperial seal of mountains and rivers is the most important thing in the recent Dali court. Outsiders meddle in, so those mountains in your hometown, how many mountain peaks can have the mountain gods recognized by the court, must be some dead people hand-picked by Emperor Dali, to be precise, the land of Qidun Mountain. Your mountain top, the name is not right, what is going on."

"Besides, even if your Luopo Mountain or Baolu Mountain is very lucky, the mountain god granted by the imperial court settles down, builds a mountain temple, erects clay sculptures and golden statues, and is eligible to enjoy incense. But one piece of land here, without The Qin Tianjian strictly inspected it, and it is impossible to become the mountain god of Luoba Mountain. He can only stay in Qidun Mountain. Maybe there is still some hope. Well, maybe Emperor Dali will be lenient to him, and while promoting Qidun Mountain, he will also be promoted to the mountain god. So even if you beg him to go, he will not agree. For these mountain and water gods, it is like the life and death of ordinary people, and even more important, because this way, as long as you take one step, there is no turning back."

Chen Ping crouched beside Ah Liang, and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to win over those two snakes?"

A Liang threw the stone and said with a smile: "It's a bit difficult to choose. Although the two beasts are not bad, they have committed a lot of crimes over the years, and their reputation is not good..."

Chen Pingan asked: "If I allow them to go to Luopo Mountain or Baolu Mountain, can they guarantee that they will not eat people?"

A Liang was stunned, rubbed his chin and said: "Cannibalism? Normally, with such ample aura, it is too late to practice, but snakes and pythons belong to the genus of flood dragons, cold-blooded by nature, and occasionally eat people when they are full." Try something new, maybe. For example, some kind of mountain woodcutter, if you are unlucky, it will be hard to tell if you encounter them coming out of the cave to look for food."

Chen Pingan asked again, "Then can you tell them from the beginning that you can practice on my mountain, but you are not allowed to eat people, Ah Liang, is this okay?"

The man in the bamboo hat asked back: "Aren't you afraid that they will say yes, turn around and go into the mountain, and when you see someone, one bite is a life? Anyway, you are not on the mountain recently."

Chen Pingan was in good spirits, and said slowly: "Didn't you say that there is an inn in Hongzhu Town, A Liang? The inn can deliver letters. I can write a letter to Master Ruan and rent out more of the three hills including Baolu Mountain. He has 50 years. If Master Ruan thinks it is too little, I can add another 50 years, and then let Master Ruan help me keep an eye on the two beasts. Mountains harm people, of course this is the worst case scenario."

"At that time, I will let the black snake, which is expected to become a black snake, stay in Luopo Mountain and help me accumulate wealth year after year. A Liang, you said that if a snake python successfully escapes the river and transforms into a dragon, then it is the earliest The birthplace of the Zoujiang River will get a lot of good luck in the dark, right? I can even be cheeky and beg Master Ruan to allow me to let him live in Baolu Mountain. Think about it. If even the white python can walk across the river, then I am making a lot of money. After I bought the mountain tops, I have been unsure. If there are black snakes and white pythons on the top of the mountain, I probably feel that these peaks are useless. Buying for nothing, every day seems to have a lot of copper coins falling into my pocket, clattering..."

A Liang looked at the eloquent young man with a dull expression, he couldn't laugh or cry, and asked with a complicated mood: "Chen Pingan, do you like making money so much?"

Chen Pingan was shocked, and asked back: "Is there anyone in the world who doesn't like making money?"

A Liang supported the bamboo hat and didn't want to talk, so as not to play the piano to the cow.

The man sighed, and said with a smile: "I thought you would refuse with righteous words."

Chen Ping was confused, "Why do you think so?"

A Liang washed his face with water, turned his head and said with a smile: "For example, it is too late to kill those two evil animals. Although I, Chen Ping'an, are poor, my old Chen's family style is very upright. How could I be willing to let them into my house?" , Crackling, Datong, I was already planning to be punished."

Chen Pingan calmed down, picked up a stone, and gently threw it into the pool. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned his head and patted A Liang on the shoulder, "A Liang, you are still too young."

The man in the bamboo hat raised his brows, "Yo, it seems that I'm in a really good mood, and I can make jokes."

Chen Pingan also raised his brows like a man, and he felt quite cheap.

A Liang laughed and stood up.

Chen Ping stood up, and suddenly remembered something, and asked worriedly: "Ah Liang, the key is, are those two pythons really willing to move?"

A Liang smiled, but didn't speak.

When Chen Ping saw the man in the bamboo hat, he put his palm on the handle of the knife.

A Liang patted the handle of the knife, and joked: "So you should also practice martial arts and boxing quickly, and learn swords later, because you are willing to be reasonable. When others are unreasonable, you need this."

Chen Pingan was noncommittal.

The two walked back to the same place together, and Ah Hao asked curiously, "Why didn't you cut down a few more bamboos before? Such a good thing, after passing this village, there will be no such shop, and you will not be able to buy it if you have money in the future."

Chen Pingan replied casually: "Someone said before that people should be content, and accept as soon as they are good."

Ah Liang couldn't laugh or cry, "It's just such a nonsense, you really listened to it?"

Chen Ping hugged the back of his head with his hands, it was rare to be so lazy and leisurely, his head swayed, like a mountain forest and bamboo swaying slightly with the breeze, the young man said in a young voice: "Because I have never heard of any great principles since I was a child, so it was hard to listen to it." It’s hard to forget even one or two sentences.”

Zhu He suddenly shouted in the distance: "Chen Ping'an, let's find an open space to join hands?"

The boy ran away, "Okay!"
