Sword comes

There are gatherings and endings, and life is a series of willows.

In the long river of time, it seems that there are many ferries with willows and willows. During each time journey, some people will leave the boat, some people will board the boat as companions, and then there will be new gatherings and partings at the next ferry.

Just like that hard-working boy in Niping Lane, he had already left away from everyone at the last ferry.

At dawn, Li Er's family of three had already prepared their bags and bid farewell to the group at the foot of Donghua Mountain. Compared with the first time when he was separated from his relatives in his hometown town, Li Huai was no longer heartless this time. I just feel that there is no restraint, and I can eat candied haws and chicken legs all day long, but I feel a little more sad, and the child has grown up.

Li Baoping, Lin Shouyi, Yu Lu, thank you, and Cui Dongshan, a beautiful young man, all came to see him off.

The woman's eyes were red, she was unwilling to let go of Li Huai's hand, she babbled about trivial things like wearing clothes in the cold weather, eating and drinking enough, Li Huai listened quietly.Li Er was always standing beside him foolishly. After Li Liu straightened Li Huai's new and neat clothes, she turned her head to look at the plaque of the Cliff Academy. The girl was indifferent to the eyes of Xie Xie and Yu Lu, two peers. .

The woman was finally willing to leave, and once she walked out, she was determined not to turn her head.Li Er patted Li Huai on the head, smiled and followed his wife's footsteps, Li Liu patted his younger brother on the shoulder, then bestowed blessings on everyone, and left slowly.

Li Huai kicked Lin Shouyi lightly. The latter was clutching a letter in sweaty palms. The stern boy shook his head, looked at the girl's back, and murmured, "Next time."

Li Huai didn't want to show his sadness in front of them, so he suppressed his sorrow, found an interesting topic, and said with a smile: "Cui Dongshan, if you are Chen Ping'an's student, we are all Mr. Qi's disciples. Ping called Chen Ping'an little uncle again, what is your seniority with us?"

With his hands behind his back, Cui Dongshan stood facing the wind, and said triumphantly, "I am my husband's great disciple who founded the mountain. I have a very high seniority, and I am one hundred and eight thousand miles higher than this Donghua Mountain."

Li Huai froze for a moment, "Maybe I call you big brother?"

"Big Brother"

Cui Dongshan suddenly became impatient, "Your family is a big brother, so I don't want to be a big brother. You can call me anything else."

Li Huai was a little confused, "It's a bit of a mouthful to call you little brother."

Cui Dongshan's eyes lit up, "Hello, little senior brother, I respect my elder brother, but also show kindness. From now on, you can call me little senior brother, Yu Lu, thank you. From today on, you are no exception. You don't need to call me son, too. If you are born, just follow Bao Ping and the others and call me little senior brother."

Li Baoping snorted coldly: "I didn't agree."

The little girl in the red padded jacket rushed out of the archway, and Li Huai shouted: "Li Baoping, there is still class later."

"Punish to copy the article, I have already lit the lamp to write it last night, what am I afraid of, I will go shopping here alone, so that I can take my little uncle to go shopping in the future." Li Baoping raised his head high and galloped all the way, chasing the blue sky A flock of pigeons passed by, and the whistles of pigeons came and went, melodiously and clearly resounding in the capital of Sui Dynasty.

Li Huai opened his voice and shouted: "Then take me with you."

Li Baoping turned a deaf ear, compared to her slender figure far away from the archway of the academy, the little girl's thoughts are already thousands of miles away.

Having reached a mountain on the border of Huang Tingguo, Chen Ping'an washed his face by the side of a mountain stream.

Different from the girl in the pink skirt who only carries a few other people's bookcases, the boy in Tsing Yi is carrying a square inch of things, and there are always a lot of weird things. Confused, he missed it too much every day, so he started to take it out, begging Chen Pingan to give him snake gallstones in exchange for treasures.

Just like this incident, the little boy in Tsing Yi took out a bunch of small bottles in the same shape, squatted beside Chen Pingan, explained the fun of these bottles to the old man, pulled out the cork of one of the pink and green porcelain bottles, and poured them into the stream. Soon, a large piece of soft moonlight flowed from the porcelain vase, and fell on the stream, like a dream.

The little boy in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "Master, it looks good, this is the moonlight vase that practitioners quite like, besides that, there are also various kinds of Yunxia vases and Sunlight vases, specially picked from the Five Sacred Mountains. , the brilliance of the sun and the moon, etc., the aura contained in it is not much, and it is naturally not as rich as those caves and blessed places with long streams of water, but it is no match for the beautiful scenery poured out of these bottles, what do you think, master?"

Chen Pingan was indeed a little shocked. Among the lush mountains and forests, it was still a bit dark in broad daylight. Looking at the moonlight slowly flowing on the stream at this time, he really felt that the world is full of wonders.

The little boy in Tsing Yi said in a persuasive way: "Exchanging a small bottle for the master's snake gallstones is definitely not kind. I also have three bottles here that are collectively called the "Zuoliang Bottle". All kinds of beautiful sounds of nature, such as the cry of frogs in this bottle, the sound of high tide in this one, and the sound of pine waves in this one, sir, think about it, open one of the bottles when you sleep, and put it next to your pillow It's just the sound of the tide, how pleasant it is, I don't want to be tempted by my so many precious bottles, just exchange one snake gallstone with you and only one master, just nod your head, these seven or eight bottles will immediately belong to you, master, this kind of business If you don’t do it, you will be struck by thunder.”

Chen Ping silently calculated the family property in the small town in his heart, and there are still a lot of excellent-looking snake gallstones. He nodded and smiled, "Okay."

The girl in the pink skirt waved her hands vigorously, winking at her master, trying to dissuade Chen Pingan from agreeing to the deal.

The boy in Tsing Yi pushed the bottle to Chen Pingan, jumped up and down with joy, stretched out two fingers to the girl in the pink skirt, and said arrogantly: "One more than you, and now I am one level higher than you. Master’s hometown, if you eat stones, master will be two more realms than you silly girl, then you should be more sensible, don’t stay by master’s side and lose master’s people, master has me as a little book boy, there is no need What stupid girl"

The girl in the pink skirt pursed her lips, wrinkling her puffy face, expecting a storm.

Chen Ping said helplessly: "If you bully her again, I will regret it."

The little boy in Tsing Yi coughed immediately, and said to her solemnly: "In the future, take care of the master's basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and you must pay more attention. You know, it's better to eat that snake gallstone and quickly change into the figure and appearance of a big yellow girl. It will feel like a long night, so you can take the initiative to warm the bed by yourself.”

Chen Ping put away those rare vials of different materials, and pointed a chestnut at the head of the boy in Tsing Yi, "Stop talking nonsense here."

The little boy in Tsing Yi pretended to bow and said: "Master taught me well."

Chen Pingan squatted down on the rock by the stream again, took out a piece of dry biscuit, chewed it, and asked casually, "Do you know what the Dragon King Basket is?"

The faces of the two little guys turned slightly pale at the same time, and the boy in Tsing Yi was even more stiff, not to mention making jokes, he couldn't even walk.

The girl in the pink skirt said cautiously: "I have seen records in ancient books that as long as the Qi practitioners throw it into the river, they can capture the dragon. The most terrifying thing is that the dragon belongs to the water. Originally, it has an advantage in the water. , even if the opponent is one or two realms higher than our own Qi practitioners, we will definitely not suffer, but if the opponent has a Dragon King basket, even if the realm is one or two realms lower than ours, we can still let us catch it without a fight."

The little boy in Tsing Yi subconsciously took a few steps away from Chen Pingan and squatted far away, "It's not that easy. Once caught in the Dragon King's basket, it's no better than ordinary people being in the frying pan. The untold secret of the largest sect in the ancient Shu Kingdom, they specially weave Dragon King baskets and sell them to those Qi practitioners who come from afar to try to capture our race."

With a trembling voice, he clenched his fist and shook it, "A dragon king basket of this size can catch me."

Chen Ping stretched out his hands and gestured in front of him, "What if it's this big?"

Now let alone the little boy in Tsing Yi who knew how powerful the Dragon King Lair was, even the girl in the pink skirt was too frightened to speak.

The little boy in Tsing Yi said with a mournful face: "Master, don't say I've seen it before, I've never heard of such a big Dragon King basket, you must have one."

He resisted the urge to not want a second snake gallstone, and tentatively said: "If there is such an exaggerated dragon king basket, even if you are an ancestor who has been transformed into dragons for thousands of years, you should obediently accept your fate. Master, do you think that's the case? Stacking bottles is actually not very pretty, it’s okay, the master just keeps it in his hand to play with, if you really don’t like it, just return it to me when you get to the master’s hometown, as for the snake gallstone, the master will give it to you depending on your mood.”

Chen Pingan couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't have a Dragon King basket, even if I do, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

No wonder the Emperor Gao Xuan of the Great Sui Dynasty felt sorry for buying the golden carp and the Dragon King Basket. In addition to giving a bag of gold and fine copper coins, he also expressed his gratitude in the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty this time.

At that time, when he met the man selling fish with a fish basket in the small town, Chen Pingan saw that it was unusual at a glance.How could it be possible for the carp to be alive and kicking after being offshore for so long.But one is that there is no money and the days are precarious. How dare you spend money as you like? After becoming a kiln worker, you can still save some copper coins. Chen Pingan has never had extra expenses, and it is already extremely difficult to deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt. .

The second is to be intercepted by Gao Xuan and the old man halfway.

Chen Pingan threw a pebble into the stream, the young man was a little sad at the moment, not because he had lost a great fortune, but because he felt that several mountains of gold and silver had passed him by.

So in the final analysis, I still feel bad about money.

In fact, Chen Pingan didn't know that the man was Li Huai's father, Li Er, one of Yang's apprentices.At that time, Li Er was already the pinnacle martial artist in the Ninth Realm of Martial Dao. Unlike the janitor who was in charge of accepting gold, fine and copper coins, Li Er had a good impression of Chen Pingan. Master Yang, who is on the road, has always admired the word "fairness", so Li Er casually quoted a price at that time, in order to bargain with the boy in Niping Lane, which seemed more real.

It's a pity that a prince of the Gao family of the Sui Dynasty was killed halfway. Li Er, who had broken the rules first, was alerted in his heart, and he didn't dare to force Chen Pingan's great luck. Afterwards, old man Yang also reprimanded Li Er, telling him He told a cruel truth, if Chen Pingan really accepted the fish basket and carp, he would not even be able to leave the town alive.These undercurrents are surging in the small town, and Chen Pingan has not yet learned all about them.

On the avenue, there will always be blessings and misfortunes. For one thing, whether it is a friend who is in trouble, or an enemy who is helping each other, no one can say in a short time, and it may not be possible.

The three went on the road again and stayed overnight on the top of the mountain. Although there was no need for Chen Ping's vigil, Chen Ping'an was still used to going to bed late after walking the stakes and guarding the campfire for a while before going to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the top of the mountain is silent.

Beside the bonfire, the boy in Tsing Yi added more firewood to the fire, and pointed his finger at the girl in the pink skirt, "Silly girl, come here."

The girl leaned against the bookcase left by Cui Dongshan in the distance, and shook her head vigorously, "I don't."

The little boy in Tsing Yi said with a smile, "I won't eat you."

The girl was beaten to death and couldn't make it through.

The little boy in Tsing Yi said angrily: "If you don't come here, I'll really eat you up! What's the matter with you, you don't listen to good words, you have to be beaten."

The girl in the pink skirt had to bravely sit opposite the bonfire.

He asked: "You said that the master is very ordinary and boring, how could there be such a cruel and terrifying disciple?"

She thought for a while, "Master is kind-hearted, and good people are rewarded with good rewards."

The little boy in Tsing Yi sneered and said, "People are so good that they can be eaten."

She shrank her neck.

He sneered: "Thankfully, you are a monster with a five-level cultivation base, and you have some special abilities, can you have a bit of backbone?"

She really had a bit of backbone this time, and retorted softly: "You chased and killed the grand elder of the Lingyun sect with a sword for two thousand miles, why don't you have a backbone?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi was not annoyed for the first time, and patiently explained: "I'm not afraid of that old hag who is so old, she's really shameless, she's so old, and she even smeared several catties of rouge on her face, my lord, I'm a hero!" Difficult to fight against double fists, if you eat the old witch, you will annoy the entire Lingyun sect, and then you will cause my water god brother to suffer, I feel very sorry."

The girl in the pink skirt quietly turned her head and secretly rolled her eyes.

She only dared to do so.

The little boy in Tsing Yi said angrily: "You silly girl is going to rebel! If you don't go to the house for three days, you have my master's backing, so you won't take your master seriously, right?"

She was so frightened that she wanted to call Chen Pingan.

The little boy in Tsing Yi hurriedly waved his hand, signaling her not to act rashly, sighed, and changed the subject: "Our master is only a martial artist with a second-level cultivation, although it is not worse than ordinary three-level martial arts, but you and I know it well. , is still very weak, and looking at his clothing, food, housing, transportation, speech and behavior, he doesn't look like a child from our family at all. If there are so many snake gallstones sitting on five hills in his hometown, could he be that cruel guy? , deliberately tricked us into trying to take us into a small mountain ditch."

The girl in the pink skirt curled up, looked at the flames she was naturally close to, felt warm all over, and murmured: "I don't care. The two generations of Cao's descendants in Zhilan Mansion have bad intentions. I'm sorry that their ancestors worked so hard to manage it. I didn't like them in the first place. It's good to go back to the hometown with the master."

The little boy in Tsing Yi had a serious face, and he no longer saw his usual hippie smiling face. He said softly, "Ms. Cao has indeed taken a crooked path, but there is no way around it. Anyone else would do the same thing. Who would be willing to be a god?" Stupid to study to get fame, what is good for oneself and good for the world are all deceived by Confucian sages. I have stayed in Yujiang for so many years, and I have seen many scholars’ misfortunes. I don’t say anything else, only that the governors and county guards met me That water god brother is worse than meeting the official in the capital. As long as someone in the practice commits a crime, he must go to ask my brother to help mediate overnight. If my brother is in a bad mood, he will hang them in the temple. Outside for several days, those officials dare not fart, it's boring."

The girl in the pink skirt hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent.

The little boy in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "The master is already asleep, but the master still has a long night, and he doesn't want to sleep. A spring night is worth a thousand dollars, silly girl, why don't you be my daughter-in-law?"

The girl in the pink skirt suddenly turned red eyes, and cursed: "Stinky rascal"

The little boy in Tsing Yi stared, "What the hell is this a great blessing? Smoke is rising from your ancestral grave. Do you know that you think I really like you? If I hadn't been greedy for your yet-to-get snake gallstone."

She stood up, "I'll tell the master"

He had no choice but to back down again, and waved vigorously: "Don't do this, don't do this, how can we become brothers and sisters? After Jinlan, your things are mine, and mine are still mine."

She simply ran away with the bookcase on her back.

The little boy in Tsing Yi stood up, put his hips on his hips and laughed loudly. After subduing his smile, he curled his lips and muttered, "What a silly girl."

The little boy in Tsing Yi flew all the way to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly said loudly: "In the world of life, you and I will go against the brigade and bring the silly girl to follow the master home."

Chen Pingan, who was supposed to be sleeping in the distance, raised the corners of his mouth, and then he stopped running the eighteen stop sword qi and began to really fall asleep.
