Sword comes

Mao Xiaodong appeared in the Yajing small courtyard, and saw a boy in white who was hanging out and humming a ditty, sitting cross-legged on a stone bench, facing the chess game, with his hands outstretched, placing them on the edge of the black and white chess box, while contemplating deeply , His fingers tapped the chess piece lightly, making crisp and clear sounds.

After the tall old man appeared, Cui Dongshan asked softly: "What's the matter, did Second Master Li demolish the palace?"

Mao Xiaodong came to the stone table, glanced at the chess game where the outcome was becoming clearer, and didn't see too much of a bright spot, so he stopped bothering and sat aside, "You, or the two of you, what are your plans?"

Cui Dongshan didn't turn his head, and said, "It's only been a few days since I arrived at Donghua Mountain, and I started to worry about Da Sui Jiangshan. It's kind."

Mao Xiaodong slapped the stone table with his palm.

All the chess pieces jumped up from the board and hovered in the air, black high and white low, like two superimposed pictures, but no matter how Mao Xiaodong looked at it horizontally or vertically, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any more mystery, coldly snorted With a sound, the chess piece fell back to its original position in an instant, not bad at all.

Cui Dongshan always maintained the weird posture before, "Whatever the cliff academy should do, it's just that the soldiers came to cover the water and soil, eat salty radish and worry about what to do , since Da Sui can't give you the status of one of the 72 academies, if you return to Da Li in the future, it's a big deal to send you under the fence, anyway, it's almost the same."

Mao Xiaodong said sternly: "School Academy, the focus is on the students, the focus is on the master, not the four words of the cliff academy, not to mention the students of the Sui Dynasty in the academy, that is, the group of children who followed me to leave Dali. How immature, how can their spirit withstand many tossings?"

Cui Dongshan slowly withdrew his hand, but clenched a handful of chess pieces, creaking in the palm of his hand, turned his head to look at the furious Mao Xiaodong,

Cui Dongshan's expression was as usual, and he smiled and said, "That's quite righteous, but it's a pity that you, Mao Xiaodong, have limited knowledge after all, and you think things too shallowly and too closely."

The old man Gao Da sneered: "You, Cui, think a lot and think far."

Cui Dongshan stood up, holding the chess piece in his palm, and slowly paced around the stone bench, jokingly said: "The temple is not in the monks, the monks are not in the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddhist scriptures are not in the Dharma, and the Dharma is not in the Buddha's presence."

Cui Dongshan raised his head, held his back with one hand, and gently twisted his wrist with the other. He walked leisurely in the courtyard and said: "Everything that has action should be viewed as such. When you really figure out the meaning of the academy, the Cliff Academy Only when you have truly found an invincible place, it doesn’t matter which family, surname or country it is in.”

Mao Xiaodong sneered and said, "When the Cliff Academy is a school, no matter what the wind blows or rains, I will not fall down."

Cui Dongshan stopped, stared at the tall old man across a stone table and a chessboard, and asked, "Why not?"

Cui Dongshan took a light step, "Let's go and see"

Mao Xiaodong looked dignified, shook his head and said, "You don't feel pain in your back when you're standing and talking."

Cui Dongshan also shook his head and said, "You should really meet my husband, Chen Ping'an."

The early winter sun hung high in the sky, and the sun shone warmly on the tall old man. The old man smiled and said, "Chen Ping'an is naturally good at entrusting Qi Jingchun with important tasks, but you must be a dog who can't change eating shit. What are you thinking about?"

Cui Dongshan scolded with a smile: "Hey, hey, Xiaodong, you have learned all about dogs. It's fine, no problem, but don't take me along."

Mao Xiaodong didn't want to intrigue with this guy here, so he stood up, "With your little shit knowledge, if you throw it on the ground, the dogs on the side of the road will not hesitate to take a bite."

Cui Dongshan laughed and said: "Jealous, jealous."

Mao Xiaodong strode out of the yard, with his back turned to Cui Dongshan, "Li Er broke into the palace this time, the fire is just right, don't push yourself too hard, if you cause any trouble later, I will take you as a question, don't blame me for not saying hello to you beforehand. "

Cui Dongshan looked at the back, and said awkwardly: "This is not good, what does Uncle Li want to do, I am a small ant in the Nine Realms, I can stop it. If my husband is here, it is really not difficult. He is calm and reasonable. He is better than me." good at."

Mao Xiaodong turned his head to look at the guy with the embarrassing face, "calmly" said: "If possible, I really want to smash that head of yours to see what's inside."

Cui Dongshan stretched out a hand, raised his orchid finger, pretending to be shy and said: "I hate it."

Mao Xiaodong turned around and left with a dark face, the old man looked disgusted as if he had stepped on rotten shit.

After Mao Xiaodong left, Cui Dongshan sat back on the stone bench again, hovered over the chessboard with his fist holding the chess pieces, leaked one by one, and dropped seven or eight chess pieces on the chessboard in one breath, all of which were white, so this The game of chess was played very irregularly.In the end, Cui Dongshan squatted on the stone bench with his hands empty, his chin resting on his knees, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As Mao Xiaodong said, there are really few people in the world who can figure out what "Cui Chan" is thinking.

Maybe Qi Jingchun is the only exception.

Subtle and uniform footsteps came from the courtyard gate, thank you for returning from get out of class, and after putting down the objects, began to clean the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

As the broom brushed across the ground, there were gusts of wind.

Cui Dongshan whispered: "It also starts at the end of the day, the majestic wind passes through, the thunder bursts, the rolling stones cut trees, and kills the forest. Although it is fading and exhausted, the charm still exists. The female wind is just passing through the back alleys, moving the sand, blowing dead ashes, It's so turbid, even though it's at its peak, it's still not worth mentioning. Thank you, do you think Dali is better or Dasui?"

This is the first time for the girl to be asked questions by Cui Dongshan Zhenger Bajing. She was flattered for a while, holding the broom in her arms, feeling uneasy.Fortunately, she was born with a quick mind, and she made up her mind before, to get along with this young man day and night, never to think too much, anyway, it's useless to worry too much, it's better to be straightforward, say what comes to mind, and do whatever comes to mind, at worst, just get a beating. So as not to be ridiculous, she replied: "Da Sui is suitable for living and working in peace. Living here is very comfortable. Da Li is suitable for careerists and schemers. Now it is both internal and external, so it is stronger, full of vitality, full of aggressiveness, and the most terrifying What's more, Dali is now gradually beginning to control the forces on the mountains in the territory, getting closer and closer to being worthy of the name of the lord of a country."

Cui Dongshan nodded, didn't say right or wrong, but it was rare that he didn't say anything to ridicule the girl.

The girl was determined that this method would still work. Yu Lu was indeed right. To get along with this person, one had to force oneself to think ahead and be short-sighted.

Suddenly Cui Dongshan asked: "Why don't you go hang yourself? I've been waiting for you to collect your body for a long time. Then I will carry your body down the mountain, weeping sadly, and accusing Cai Jingshen that bastard, too Shameless, you even sneaked into the academy, even a black charcoal girl like you, who looks evil, made you feel ashamed and angry, and then I will fight him again to avenge you."

The girl was dumbfounded.

Cui Dongshan turned his neck, "Because I declared that you were my disciple that night, I had to lend you so many magic weapons, son, I feel very uncomfortable."

The girl with the green bamboo flute hanging from her waist continued to clean the yard.

Cui Dongshan glanced at the girl's graceful figure, and suddenly added: "If my grandson Cai Jingshen breaks into your house after climbing the mountain at night, he will not lose."

The girl raised her head and stared blankly at Cui Dongshan.

Cui Dongshan stared at those beautiful eyes, and regretfully said: "You are only left with these eyes, which are worthy of the name Xie Lingyue."

The girl was about to cry, she lowered her head and continued to sweep the floor without saying a word.

Cui Dongshan sighed, waved lightly, and put the chessboard and chess box into the square-inch jade seal in his sleeve, "You are not sweeping the floor, you are clearly sweeping your son's interest. Forget it, go back to the room and read."

In the empty main room, a thatched futon was placed on a big straw mat. With a wave of his sleeves, Cui Dongshan pulled out a Confucian classic from a hill in the corner, laying quietly in front of him, and then turned over for a while. A book style appeared, circling around the handsome young man in white.

The wind of flipping books began to flip through the books.

Cui Dongshan began to study.

Whenever this time, the girl Xie Xie would sit quietly at the door with a peaceful mind, because only at this time, that guy would not target her.Moreover, not only is it the first time she has seen it with her own eyes, she has never even heard of it, who can read such a grotesque world just by reading.

Just like today.

After flipping the first page, with Cui Dongshan's extremely rich and unique rhythm, the words are like real raindrops, falling on that page, and then between the pages, a lotus flower appears, swaying and growing. The posture is abnormal.

Turning over the pages, the time slowly passed.

Between the lines on the page, there is a scene of the confrontation between the two armies. The soldiers and soldiers are far smaller than the rice grains, but they are like gold and iron horses. .

There is also a graceful woman who is not more than an inch tall, carrying a flower basket, slowly coming from the pages of the book.

There is also a big bearded man, with his chest exposed and his belly exposed, as if he is singing and singing.

On the pages of the book, there was an old woman pounding her clothes, and she listened carefully, and she really could hear the mysterious sound of aggressiveness.

There are two or two young children, chasing and playing on bamboo horses.

There are skeletons with swords and knives walking among tombs and graves.

There is a master sitting upright, groaning and twisting his beard, as if he is deliberating on words.

The girl at the door thanked her. No matter how much she hated and feared the Great Li National Master deep down in her heart, she had to admit that the young man in white clothes who was concentrating on his studies was really handsome and had a breeze in his sleeves.

She couldn't understand one thing at all, why such a bad person could have a saintly look when he was studying

When Xie Xie was in a daze, she didn't notice that today's Cui Dongshan, at the end of the book, looked a little strange, his eyes were hot, but his face was full of pain and struggle.

It turned out that he read a scene in which three people appeared on the same page at the same time, and the faces of the three could not be seen clearly, but the ages were very different.

The old man in long gown is on the bank of the big river, watching the water intently.

Nearby, a haggard middle-aged man looked to the other side with a pensive face.

There was a young man riding a green bull, raising his head to look at the sky, with a book hanging on the bull's horn, the young man was drowsy.

In the end, Cui Dongshan suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood, and the strange scene on the page disappeared.

The girl looked at Cui Dongshan in horror.

He stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood with no expression on his face, and said to himself: "There is no way, the difference is too far."

The girl thanked her worriedly and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Cui Dongshan covered his heart with one hand, clenched his fist tightly with the other, and said in a difficult voice: "Go and get the water map I lent you temporarily, hurry up."

Xie Xie got up quickly, went to his room to get a scroll of ancient paintings, opened it and spread it in front of Cui Dongshan, then got up and ran back to the door.

Cui Dongshan's throat moved slightly, he raised his arms gratefully, and put the back of his hand against his mouth. After a long time, he put down his hand and took a deep breath. There are 12 pictures of water in the world, each depicting twelve great evils in four worlds. The picture is exactly the water in the sky, which is taken from the wonder of "a sword pierces a small hole in the sky, and the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky".

Cui Chan, who was still the head disciple of Wensheng back then, had a hand-to-hand game with the Lord of Baidi City between the colorful clouds. Although Cui Chan was defeated, the big devil presented this precious and extraordinary picture scroll as a gift. A giant in the way of magic who sits in Baidi City is also highly respected.

Cui Dongshan held his breath and stared at the water, but his mind was thinking of the mountains.

Back in the day, old Cui Chan used to walk alone, with straw shoes and bamboo sticks, through the most rugged mountain road in the world, and it was difficult to climb the mountain.

When the young Cui Dongshan thought of this, he couldn't help reaching out and slapping his knees, and said loudly: "Hey, the danger is high!"

Suddenly he froze.

On the water map, a small rocky cliff appeared out of thin air. It was not very eye-catching, but on the rocky cliff, there was a thin young man with a familiar figure standing against the wind.

The girl in the distance was even more shocked after seeing this scene.

Why did Chen Pingan secretly run to this water map with a stone cliff?

Cui Dongshan had already recovered his calm energy, and now he clasped his hands together and said with a playful smile, "Mr., I am honored by the students."

Then Cui Dongshan fell backwards, rolled sideways a few more times, and muttered in his mouth: "Those who abandon me, don't let the day of yesterday stay. Those who disturb my mind, today is so worrying. Worrying, so worrying, Worry about my uncle's worries~"

The girl was sitting by the door, and couldn't help but look up at the sky. It didn't look like it was going to thunder, which was a pity.

A short and strong man walked out of Donghuashan Academy, walked all the way, found a quiet house nearby, and began to knock on the door.

There is no response.

This courtyard has already been rented out, and the old man usually lives in seclusion and almost never shows up, but that night, a fight between gods and gods ups and downs made those who are interested realize that there are dragons entrenched here.

Although the young man in white who claimed to be the ancestor of the Cui family fought better at the top of Donghua Mountain in that fight, and the whole night's magic weapon bombardment was brilliant, but the burly old man's various responses were also not bad. , even if it is an expert with a high enough realm, if he thinks that if he stands in the position of an old man and personally confronts that young man in white who throws magic weapons like rotten cabbages, he will never last until dawn.

The man kicked open the gate, walked in, and saw a burly old man with a gloomy face. He was none other than Cai Jingshen, a ten-level qi trainer, standing in the yard. There was a jug of wine on the table, and there were many exquisite appetizers. .For a terrestrial fairy in the eyes of ordinary people like him, this enjoyment, which is better than nothing, is really insignificant.

Cai Jingshen was one of the bystanders in the palace battle yesterday. At this time, he saw the foreigner who had reached the end of the martial arts. Naturally, he didn't have the slightest confidence. No injustice, no enmity, what is your business when you break into the house?"

When Li Er saw Cai Jingshen, without saying a word, he just punched the old man by surprise. He slammed into the inner room, vomited blood on the spot, smashed the door and the table, and fell to the ground in the corner under the plaque in the lobby. rise.

Li Er turned and left.

Cai Jingshen was a little dazed, and sat up against the wall, thinking that at least he would say a word or two before making a move. The so-called one-word disagreement and fight, at least there is still "one word", isn't it that this guy is so unreasonable This is not bullying, what is it? An imposing ten-level Qi trainer, the ancestor of the wealthy Cai family in the Sui Dynasty, couldn't help but cursed: "If you have the ability, do it again!"

Then the man walked into the yard again through the doorway that was no longer covered by the gate, stood there, and looked at Cai Jingshen inside the house.

The old man swallowed, "I was talking to the boy in white that day, it has nothing to do with you."

After blurting out these words, the old man wished he could dig a hole in the ground and go down.

An empty wine jug was hanging from the man's waist, and he asked a strange question, "How much does that jug of wine on your table sell for?"

The white-haired, burly old man was a little dazed, and then he was sad and angry, thinking that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so he honestly replied: "I don't know the exact price, it's probably at least three or forty taels of silver."

Li Er thought for a while, "Then I'll keep the level at the eighth level, and we'll fight again."

Cai Jingshen is completely angry, I just drank a pot of wine, why did I provoke you

After all, the old man didn't have the temperament to allow others to bully and not fight back, but was recognized by the great monks of the Sui Dynasty as having a violent temper and outstanding fighting power. He stood up and said angrily: "Hit me, I'm afraid of your mother."

After a while, Li Er left the courtyard and returned to the academy.

The old man was lying in the yard. Although he was not seriously injured, he was destined not to be able to stand up for a while.

The old man looked at the sky. For the first time in his life, he was so aggrieved and bitter, and felt that he couldn't live through this day.

Lao Tzu's surname is Cai, so it's not a dish that goes with wine.

After he recovers, I will go to the imperial palace to face the saint. I want to leave this unlucky Donghua Mountain, far away from the cliff academy, and the capital of the Sui Dynasty will not wait.

Li Er said that he wanted to wander around the academy by himself, so Li Huai went back first, only to find that Li Baoping and Lin Shouyi were there. Not long after they arrived, Li Baoping was chatting with Li Huai's mother, "Auntie, How long do you want to stay in the academy? Do you want me to accompany you to visit the capital? I have carefully studied the map of the Sui capital, and the library is not easy to find.

After Li Baoping arrived at the academy, the first thing he did was to understand the tedious rules of the academy and how to punish him for what he did.The second thing is to check the layout of the Sui capital, thinking that in the future when the little uncle comes to the academy to find her, he can take him shopping together.

The woman praised with a smile: "Little treasure bottle is smart, thanks to you, our Huaizi is not bullied by others."

Li Huai almost stared out his eyes. Li Baoping bullied him the most during this journey. Not to mention that he was calling the wind and calling the rain with A Liang and called him brothers and sisters. Even with Chen Pingan, he never suffered a disadvantage.

Besides, how did Li Baoping throw his pants up the tree when he was at the school in his hometown? Mother, you don’t know that you took me to Fulu Street at that time, wanting to talk to the elders of Li Baoping’s family. They were arguing, but when they saw the pair of big lions, they didn't dare to knock on the door of Li's house.

Li Baoping and his mother chatted for a while, but Li Huai's brain hurts after hearing it. The two of them are talking like chickens and ducks. Why can they still talk like they are very close? Ask Baoping Ah, how many houses are there in your big house on Fulu Street? One answer is that there are many college houses, more houses than her house

Li Liu, a young girl, was so annoyed by her younger brother that she had no choice but to hurry up and sew a pair of new cloth shoes. She sat quietly by the bed, stitching the soles of the shoes carefully, and occasionally tilted her head to bite off the thread, and then looked at her mother with a smile. Kissing my younger brother, if she met Lin Shouyi's eyes, she would smile and nod, and the boy would blush, feeling a little unspeakably embarrassed.

This is the second time that the boy is so glad that he chose to leave the town after drinking A Liang's gourd wine, and went on a study tour with Chen Pingan and Li Baoping.

When Li Er returned to his residence, Li Baoping just left. When he saw the man, the little girl who was whistling away like the wind suddenly stopped and greeted with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Li."

Li Er, who was clumsy, responded with alas, very happy.He was in a small town in his early years, and he didn't go to school very often. At that time, Li Huai would complain that he was ashamed of his father, so Li Er didn't dare to go, but this little girl who wore red clothes all the year round was the only one who saw him. Students who will call Uncle Li.

The little girl sighed, a little discouraged, her thoughts were always wild, and she apologized for no reason: "Uncle Li, I'm sorry."

Li Er is honest but not stupid, he immediately understood what the little girl in the red padded jacket meant, he must have felt that he did not take good care of Li Huai, the man quickly shook his head and said, "Don't say that."

Li Baoping said earnestly: "Uncle Li, Li Huai is actually more diligent in studying than I am now. Mr. said that hard work can make up for one's weakness, and a talent is a late bloomer, so don't be disappointed with Li Huai. Reading is a lifetime thing, don't worry."

Having said that, the little girl raised her fist and said with a more emphatic tone: "Don't worry."

Li Er was very happy, such a little girl is really likable, the man nodded and said: "I'm not in a hurry for Li Huai to study."

The man said silently in his heart, but there is one thing that can be done. As for where his son can go in the end, he can only rely on himself.

Li Baoping grinned and ran away.

Like a cheerful squirrel.

Li Er stopped to look at the little girl's back, waited until she disappeared from sight, then turned around with a smile and walked forward.

When he arrived at the door, he happened to meet Lin Shouyi who was leaving the house. The boy called Uncle Li and left.

Facing other people, even the father of the girl Li Liu, Lin Shouyi also didn't know how to respond enthusiastically.

When Li Er walked into the house, the woman was giving instructions to her son, "This little girl is not bad, but she is too temperamental and careless, and she doesn't seem to be able to take care of others. I think Shi Chunjia is fine, although her family is not as good as Li Baoping's." The family is rich and powerful, but after all, my family has such a big shop, and our family is barely a good match. Li Huai married Shi Chunjia, and she will not be looked down upon in the future. That girl Shi Chunjia, looking happy, has two pigtails of"

Li Er laughed and said, "I still like Miss Li more."

Li Huai said helplessly: "Father, have you ever thought about whether people like me or not?"

The woman said angrily, "How can it be possible not to like those two little girls?"

Li Huai patted his forehead, "My dear mother, please don't say such things to others, or I will be beaten to death by Li Baoping. Although Shi Chunjia didn't dare to beat me, her crackling belly Li Xiaobai made a plan, and she will definitely hate me for the rest of her life. She is the most vengeful, and she can sue Mr. Qi ten times after pulling her braid once, and each time it seems to be true. Do it well, sir, you slapped me in the palm of your hand. Seeing me laughing at him, you pulled my braids. Why is Li Huai late today? Just come and pull my braids, my God, if Shi Chunjia is my daughter-in-law, I will cry to death."

The woman joked, "Then what kind of wife do you want?"

Li Huai thought for a while, "Marrying a daughter-in-law is so troublesome, I'd better forget it, when I grow up, I will talk about it when I meet a girl who looks right to me."

The woman smiled and asked: "When the time comes, my mother will be bullied by your little daughter-in-law, who will you help?"

Li Huai hehe said: "Of course I help my wife, you have my father to help you, it's not enough."

The woman feigned anger and said, "You have no conscience."

The woman got up and stretched out her hands to pinch her son's ears, and Li Huai ran around the room.

The woman glanced at the man, "Where did you go?"

Li Er said in a low voice: "Urgent urination, I went to the toilet."

The woman's eyes were sharp, and she found the jug on the man's waist at once. She sniffed it closely and said angrily: "It takes so long to urinate, you fell into the latrine, and the latrine is not filled with excrement and urine, but with wine."

Li Er was dumbfounded, and turned to look at his son, begging for relief.

Li Huai said: "Father must have seen the pretty little vixen."

"Look at your guilty conscience."

The woman rolled her eyes at the frightened man, and for the first time did not ask any questions. She sat beside her daughter, stroked Li Liu's hair, and sighed, "You have all grown up, and your parents are also old."

Li Liu put down the soles of his shoes and gently held his mother's hand.

Li Huai flattered her and said, "Mother, you are still old, what did you look like when you gave birth to me, and what do you look like now? If you go out with Li Liu, you will be regarded as sisters if you are not sure."

The woman laughed tremblingly, "Go, go, save this kind of talk to your daughter-in-law in the future."

Li Liu said suddenly: "Mother, I want to buy a box of rouge."

Although the woman babbled and said that her daughter was a prodigal, she still got up and took her daughter out together.

There were only father and son left in the room, Li Erxiao asked, "Son, do you want to have some wine with dad?"

Li Huai widened his eyes, "You can drink."

After drinking half a bowl of wine, Li Huai soon became dizzy and fell asleep on the table.

Li Er stretched out his hand to hold Li Huai's wrist, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said silently: "The gods opened mountains and created caves."

When the woman led Li and Liu down the mountain together, she passed a young man in white under the archway at the foot of the mountain.

The girl looked back, and just happened to meet the boy's eyes.

She has always given people the impression that she is a weak and willowy girl. At this moment, she quickly restrained her smile, and secretly sneered at the Dali Guoshi who she had heard about from her master in the small town. Made a stealthy and frightening warning action.

Slender palms wiped the neck.

Cui Dongshan, who came here on purpose to meet her, was amazed and said with emotion: "There are freaks every year, especially this year."
