Sword comes

I have been traveling abroad for the last week, so the update is really a mess.Then it stabilized.Another chapter tonight.

Although the sky is dark, it is actually not too late. In addition, the courtyard of the Qiulu Inn is exquisitely and elegantly arranged. Put the wooden box presented by the land master of Qidun Mountain horizontally on the table, put the painted puppets, and the five clay figurines presented by Fengxue Temple Sword Immortal Wei Jin into it, and then bought the book from Hongzhu Town The water breaking cliff is also thrown in.

After the "moving", there was still room for this long box made of delicate yellow and gloomy wood. The wooden box turned red. Wei Bo of Qidun Mountain said it was because it had been buried in the soil for countless years, and the color gradually changed from yellow to red. , the wood not only did not rot, but gave birth to a strange fragrance.At this time Li Huai put his head on the wooden box and smelled it carefully, the fragrance is still the same, it has not diminished, it is no worse than when it was taken out at the pillow post.

Li Huai started to break his fingers, left his hometown town, traveled far away to study, and slept in the open air all the way. He, Li Huai, gained a little by hard work, except for the most precious small green bamboo bookcase in the corner, and this delicate bookcase. The yellow wooden box, puppets, and clay figurines, in fact, in the book on the big cliff that breaks the water, there are also a few very valuable silverfish, and the green fish that A Liang slapped into the book, but Li Huai doesn't like it. Reading, I seldom read this book, which cost Chen Pingan nearly ten taels of silver.

Now, looking at Chen Pingan, who was concentrating on carving words on the hairpin, Li Huai thought that he spent so much money on others, but did not turn over the books. Feeling guilty, he took out the seemingly brand-new Broken Water Cliff from the wooden box, opened a page at random, and began to read the words silently, intending to make his conscience feel better.

Li Huai slapped his head, remembered something, quickly reached into his neckline, found a pocket sewn by his sister Li Liu, twisted out an oil paper bag, shook it at Chen Pingan, grinned and said: "Chen Pingan, Do you know what this is?"

Chen Ping carefully put down the hairpin and carving knife, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "What is it?"

Li Huai was full of pride, took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the oil paper bag, and explained: "At the beginning, people kept leaving the school, and in the end only me, Li Baoping, Lin Shouyi, Shi Chunjia and Dong Shuijing were left. Five, Mr. gave each of us a copybook in the last class, and wrote a word Qi on it, and asked us to copy it carefully, saying that it was homework. Later, Mr. did not take back the original post. This study tour, my mother I personally think that the word Mister, although it is neatly written, is not as good as the big characters on the Spring Festival couplets next door. I asked my sister to secretly sew a pocket inside the clothes and put it in an oiled paper bag. I asked Li Baoping and Lin Shouyi later, Li Baoping said that he didn’t know where he had left it, and Lin Shouyi said he put it away at home. I’m afraid that it will be easily lost and damaged when taken out.”

Li Huai opened the folded paper, and gently smoothed out the wrinkles, only to see the small copybook, square and square, the size of a palm.

Li Huai stared at the word for a moment, then raised his head and said seriously: "Chen Pingan, I'll give you the word Qi, it's useless for me to keep it, and besides, I often forget things."

Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of losing it, I can keep it for you temporarily until you arrive at Tai Sui Academy, but since this is the homework assigned to you by Mr. Qi, as Mr. Qi's student, you should It should be treasured well, even if Mr. Qi is gone, there is no need to copy it, but just like your mother said, keep the copybook by yourself, it's just a thought."

Li Huai nodded, and casually put the copybook between the pages of the book, then closed the cliff of breaking water, and threw it into the wooden box.

Little did they know that among the pages of the book, the three silverfish and the green fish hidden on different pages left the words in the original book one after another, passed through the gaps between the lines, swam swiftly, and finally entered the Qizi sticker at high speed. Be worthy of the name, like a fish in water, extremely cheerful.

Compared to Li Huai's bumper harvest of dog shit luck all the way, Lin Shouyi is actually not bad, a large stack of ancient talismans with high and low ranks, good and bad materials, a book on the cloud, a painting There are more than a hundred kinds of pictures of mountain spirits and ghosts, which were presented by the blind old Taoist. Because Chen Pingan gave the lame boy a very good-looking snake gallstone as a gift, the old Taoist took out this picture, which he claimed to be The ancestral treasure of Shimen was given to Lin Shouyi by Chen Ping'an.

As for Li Baoping, there are more famous sword auspicious charms and silver Yangjian gourd. There are not many things, just two pieces, but they are all important weapons of the immortal family that monks in the world covet.

Only Chen Pingan, who contributed the most, seemed to end up with the slightly shriveled pale golden lotus seed. He didn't know what it was useful for now, and now he owed a whole lot of debt to the boy in white.

Li Huai lay on the table, repeating the old tune: "Lin Shou's family is very rich, but the identity of the illegitimate child is embarrassing, so this guy may be more sensitive. Chen Pingan, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Chen Pingan nodded, "I'll talk to him later, and I'll be fine."

Li Huai said for no reason, "Good people and honest people are disadvantaged. My father is like this, and so are you, Chen Pingan. Otherwise, you should stop being a good person in the future. Think more about yourself in the future, and don't need to put up with others. .Otherwise you are fine, and Li Baoping, who recognizes you as a junior uncle, will die of anger first."

When mentioning Li Baoping, Chen Pingan couldn't help laughing and asked: "Aquarius always bullies you, why don't you fight back?"

Li Huai blurted out with a face of righteousness: "I dare not, I can't beat her"

Chen Pingan laughed out loud, and the exhaustion of sculpting words was instantly swept away.

Li Huai looked at Chen Pingan, who was laughing happily, and the child also laughed happily, because in my impression, Chen Pingan didn't smile like that. The usual Chen Pingan, no matter what he did or said, was always restrained and restrained, for fear of saying something wrong. doing something wrong.

Li Huai immediately thought of his father, who seemed to have the same virtue, pursed his mouth, even if he was happy, but drooped his eyebrows, he was not very happy.

Li Huai hesitated for a while, but still planned to tell Chen Pingan something hidden in his heart. The child with his head on the table stretched his neck, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously: "Do you know why I always let Li Huai go?" Aquarius?"

Chen Pingan joked: "You like her"

Li Huai rolled his eyes, "How is it possible? I'm only so young. I'm not Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing, two sex embryos. Every time my sister comes to school to help me bring things, those two guys' eyes The eyes were so stared that they fell to the ground. Especially Dong Shuijing, every time he finds an excuse to go to my house to play, and when my sister is not around, he is sick. When my sister comes home, Dong Shuijing is like a chicken blood. , I can’t wait to fill my house with two big tanks of water. My mother likes Dong Shuijing more, she thinks people are honest, just like my father, and my sister probably likes Lin Shouyi more, who is gentle, more like A reader."

After saying bad things about Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing, Li Huai turned back to the topic with a sad face: "In the school, everyone laughed at my father, saying that my father is the most useless man in the town, a married man, worthless, I don’t do business all day and eat soft food, let alone good for nothing, I am stupid, my son can make holes, so his son, that is, me, reading is the most useless. Every time my husband takes exams, I am at the bottom .”

Li Huai grinned and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Li Baoping's family background is the best in the school, but together with Lin Shouyi, she doesn't play with anyone, and she flies around like a gust of wind every day, forever. She is the last one to come to class, and the first one to disappear after class. Although she thinks I am noisy, she likes to beat me up whenever she has something to do. But she never laughs at my father. Once my father came to school to look for me, and everyone hated me. Only Li Baoping is willing to lead the way for my father, and he even calls him Uncle Li, which makes my father happy for many days. Every time someone deliberately makes a joke of my father in front of me, Li Baoping will always stop them. They speak ill of my father."

Chen Pingan said with emotion: "It turned out to be like this. By the way, Li Huai, do you have someone you hate the most?"

Li Huai was stunned, "No, every time I go home, eat a delicious and fatty chicken drumstick, and listen to my mother scolding my father and my sister with trivial matters, all my unhappiness will be gone."

Chen Ping directly twisted the wick with his fingers to make the light brighter, and said with a smile, "You are amazing."

Li Huai asked doubtfully: "What's so good about me? I think you're not afraid of getting hot. You don't have to wear straw sandals when you go up and down the mountain. You can chop firewood and fish. That's great. A wild girl like Li Baoping is very young. When she was young, she liked to climb up the tree, and then she yelled "Flying Flying Flying", fell to the ground with a plop, never cried, stood up by herself, and finally limped back home. In order to avoid walking in a wrong way and being noticed by the elders in the family, she You will deliberately delay going home until very late, and even a fearless person like her thinks you are the most amazing person in the world."

Chen Ping picked up the carving knife again, "When you grow up, you will know why you are so good."

Li Huai couldn't understand. Looking at the hairpins, he became more and more greedy, "When will you give us the hairpins?"

Chen Pingan stopped the action of lettering, "Let's go to Tai Sui Academy."

Li Huai asked, "Why did you give Lin Shouyi that picture of searching mountains? I can see that you like it too."

Chen Pingan held up a jade hairpin and stared carefully at the subtle lines on the hairpin by the light, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold the good things, and you are not outsiders, so I don't feel bad for giving it to you."

Li Huai asked tentatively, "I spent 2000 taels of silver a night, and I don't feel bad about it."

Chen Ping put down the jade hairpin and carving knife, put them back into the box, and said with a straight face: "I have to go out for a walk, take a few more steps to see the scenery, and I will earn a few taels of silver."

Li Huai turned his head to look at Chen Pingan's back, and the child secretly laughed.

Li Huai waited until Chen Pingan closed the door, and told himself silently that he must give Chen Pingan the best thing in the future.

Because this guy has walked all the way, through so many mountains and rivers, just to accompany his timid self to piss and shit in the distance, and then stand in the distance

I don't know how many times I talk to myself from far away.

Chen Pingan didn't dare to wander around. He walked towards the pavilion and saw Lin Shouyi sitting there as expected. He didn't dare to disturb the mountain fairy who was the first to stand out in the team. After watching for a while, he was about to turn around and leave. Go, and saw Lin Shouyi standing up and waving at him.

Chen Ping walked into the gazebo. Compared to the handsome young man before he walked into the Qiulu Inn, the current Lin Shouyi seemed to be a little more elegant.

Lin Shouyi picked a non-embarrassing topic, "That Cui Dongshan borrowed a talisman from me, broke the rules of the inn, walked out of this pavilion, jumped into that old well, and disappeared."

Chen Pingan said softly: "Cui Dongshan is dead or alive, I don't care, and I won't care."

Lin Shouyi held back for a long time, then turned his head to look at the well, "I know you have good intentions about staying at the Qiulu Inn, but you should have greeted me in advance."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I will in the future."

Lin Shouyi turned his head and carefully looked at the expression and eyes of the boy in straw sandals, "That's it."

Chen Pingan asked back: "Otherwise"

Lin Shouyi laughed at himself: "I thought you would reason with me, or be straightforward, roll up your sleeves and beat me up, but I'm actually ready to fight back."

Chen Pingan shook his head, did not speak, leaned against the pillars of the gazebo, looked at the well at the ruins of the Old City God, Chen Pingan did not see anything famous.

Lin Shouyi looked at Chen Pingan, "I'm sorry."

Chen Ping smiled and waved his hands, sat cross-legged, and then stared at the old well without blinking.

Lin Shouyi felt relieved, and then asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

The straw-shoe boy said solemnly: "I want to get the money back."

The stern young man who was already a practitioner quickly reached out and rubbed his cheek vigorously, just to keep himself from laughing out loud.

By the Hanshi River, Dashui Mansion.

The green-robed man on the main seat looked at the guests, and there were people standing up to raise their glasses and toast, saying praises, which inevitably showed some complacency.

Just now, a well-known literary figure in the government and the public stood up to toast again, saying that the county has been doing well for so many years, all thanks to him, the god of water, in his words, whether the people's livelihood in a county is good or bad has nothing to do with the county guard surnamed Wei .The key is this slightly naked sycophant. There is one person here, wearing Huang Tingguo's third-rank official uniform. The person with the highest rank in the sacrificial ceremony this time, facing him who is sitting in the high position, also kept saying that he is the master of the water god.

Once you become a deity who enjoys incense, your name and family during your lifetime are all taboo. As for those who can meet the gods, they are taboo for the venerable. Generally, you need to pay attention to this, and you will not name them.

The term "Master" is a relatively safe and popular title. As for why this is so, there are different opinions. One of them is the most convincing. It is said that among the three personal disciples of Daozu, one of them likes to call his mentor Master, and Daozu readily accepts it. , so it has been passed down to this day.

The green-robed man slowly retracted his gaze, and there were four confidants sitting on the left and right sides of the hall, following him to fight in all directions. The long ones were more than 300 years old, and the shortest ones were more than a hundred years old. The bright red carp and a certain carp spirit Yexiu from the Okinawa River in Dali are called brothers and brothers, and their relationship is inseparable.

However, this carp spirit has a mission at this time, so the seat is vacant.

One is a water snake trained to become a spirit, and uses a pair of iron maces, which are relics of immortals he obtained by accident. Every time he fights with people, he likes to smash the opponent's head with iron maces.He likes to devour virgin boys and girls, but he is restrained by the green-robed man, and he will go out to look for food occasionally, so he dare not be too unscrupulous.

Another one was born as a water-blocking toad, with the best talent, but lazy by nature, and the lowest level. It's just that he is very talented, and he will swallow a lot of river water at the forks of big rivers. As long as he doesn't close his mouth, he can keep drawing water Non-stop, never burst belly.Therefore, no one dared to bully him, and he was highly regarded by the green-robed man. There were two river gods who joined forces to cause trouble, gathered many forces, and tried to overthrow the green-robed man.The capable general of the Cold Food River God was ordered to sneak ashore and sneak into the source of a river, and then revealed his real body, shaped like a mountain, swallowing the source of the river forcefully, forcing the river god to surrender without a fight, leading to another The river god was isolated and helpless, and finally the temple and golden body were smashed to pieces by a green-robed man. All the pieces sank somewhere at the bottom of the Hanshi River, and he would never be reborn forever.

The last one is a bit out of place, with a beautiful beard and a Confucian shirt, with a gentle manner, if not for his dark complexion, which is different from living people in the world, he would look like a middle-aged Confucian scholar from a scholarly family.

The Hanshi River is [-] li long and passes through the boundaries of the three prefectures and eight counties, so the northern part of Huang Ting Kingdom needs to rely on the nourishment of this great river.Although this person has never been known for his combat prowess in this Dashui mansion, he is recognized as the chief military adviser. He always hides behind the scenes and advises the master of the water god. He also doesn't like to form cliques and act independently.

Half of the beautiful servant girls serving tea and wine in the lobby are human beauties, and the other half of the women who are covered with special makeup to hide the appearance of dead bodies are water ghosts who fell into the water and died.

Water ghosts in the world, no matter whether they drowned or drowned themselves, naturally not everyone can become a water ghost. After death, the hostility must be hard to dissipate. Having both of the three, and luckily being able to condense the soul, there is the possibility of being accepted as a maid by the Dashui Mansion, and among them, the water ghost was devastated by the strong wind and kept disappearing into thin air.

For example, the wind that beats the soul and the wind that blows the soul often blow in the golden autumn. Among the five elements, the gold master kills. , This is one of the sources, the two winds generally only threaten the genitals, but if the living person is extremely weak and has a thin fortune, he may also be hurt by this wind.

There is also the so-called execution after autumn, the imperial government generally executes executions in autumn, for this reason, in order to prevent evil spirits from recurring.

In addition, the bursts of spring thunder that ordinary masters have heard even before, is really like a drum to remind evil creatures, and it is a series of difficult hurdles.

It can be seen from this that if it is said that being a human is not easy, it seems that being a ghost is also not easy.

Apart from the four confidant generals of the Dashui mansion, they were all guests who came to congratulate them.

The person most pleasing to the eye of the man in the green robe is of course the famous writer who was just a poor scholar who accidentally stumbled and fell into the water.It's a pity that this person is really not suitable for being an official. Even with the support of his master, the water god, he still only achieved a sixth-rank evaluator, so he couldn't get along. In the end, he simply announced his resignation and retired. , built a luxurious mansion, and became a carefree prime minister of the mountains and forests. After resigning from office, after more than 20 years of management, he has been hailed as the gentle suzerain of the northern scholars of Huangting Kingdom. There are more than 20 poems written by Jiang. Every two or three years, a large number of literati and poets will be invited to hold poetry gatherings on the Hanshi River.

As for the son of a literary giant who rose all the way up in Huang Tingguo's temple, and the grandson of a mediocre man who became a practitioner, no one was willing to delve into it, or they didn't have the courage to do so.

The patriarch of the literary world, who called himself Huang Lao Taoist, was talking happily with Mr. Bie Jia at this time, laughing heartily.

Don't worry, they are the nominal three in command of a state, the top spot is of course the governor, and then the general who is stationed there and holds military power.Huang Tingguo's military generals are weak, and the temple places more emphasis on literature than martial arts, so the official authority of Biejia is often higher than that of generals in a state. The meaning of Biejia's existence is mostly used by the emperor to check and balance the governor.

At this time, everyone subconsciously stopped talking, turned their heads to look towards the door, and saw a man in armor with two long beards on his cheeks striding into the hall, clasped his fists and laughed loudly: "Reporting to the master, that man who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth The rogue cultivator is dead, and I broke his head myself, there is no accident."

The green-robed man first glanced at the expression of a white-haired old man in the hall, and found that the burly man with a short halberd at his waist was hesitant to speak, so he smiled and said, "Fart if you want."

This person is the man who went to the Qiulu Inn through the old well. His real body is a red carp. He grinned and said cheerfully: "The young casual cultivator was involved in many scandals before he died. There are some of you, sir. There are some big families in some counties and cities, and of course more of them are the sheriff surnamed Wei. It is very ugly. The [-]th generation of ancestors have been scolded back and forth several times. , I have to tell this guy about whether I peed my pants when I was a child, and if there is no accident, the county will be full of wind and rain tomorrow, and it is all a joke of Wei Junshou."

The man in green robe was obviously a little surprised, "Oh"

The burly carp spirit was about to speak, but the green-robed man waved his hand, signaling him to return to his seat quickly and stop talking nonsense. The former had to sit down obediently, and glanced at the man who looked like a scribe. Only then did the man let go of his hands and feet to eat large pieces of meat and drink in large bowls.

Hearing the news of Sanxiu's sudden death in the county, there was a young man with a sick face in the field, who immediately couldn't hide his hearty smile and poured wine frequently.

In the county city, the will of the sheriff surnamed Wei was depressed, and the young casual cultivator died without a whole body.

The guests of honor in the Dashui Mansion had a great time.

The contrast is stark.

The green-robed man raised his head suddenly, and looked towards the door. This Hanshi Jiang Zhengshen had gloomy eyes.

There was a young man in white clothes standing quietly outside the door, slapping his sleeves to flick off some water droplets. Finally, the young man stepped across the high threshold, looked around, and said with a playful smile: "People are not human, ghosts are not ghosts. No, it's weird, weird, weird."
